FURS.— Foreign Fur Warehouse, 92, Oxford- street, London.— Russian Shawl Cloaks, Sables, Kolinskys, & c — Mr. SNEIDER having arrived from Russia with his stock of Furs for the winter season, invites the attention of the Nobility and Ladies of fashion to a large and most beautiful assortment of RUSSIAN SHAWL CLOAKS, made entirely of fur. This modern and comfortable winter envelope, now so fashionable at Paris, Vienna, and St. Petersburg, on account of its elegance, warmth, and lightness, must supersede every description of cloak. That beautiful and much admired fur, the Kolinsky, introduced into this country by Sneidcr and Co., can only be seen at their warehouse. Real Russian Sables, Sable- tail Boas, rich Furs of every other description, well seasoned and beautifully finished, are also on sale at their Fo- reign Fur House. Peers and Peeresses' robes carefully preserved, and furs cleaned and repaired, by Sneider and Co., 92, Oxford- street: established 55 years. ANEW PATENT REGISTER STOVE, on an improved and novel construction, will cure Smoky Chimneys, and give more warmth, with less consumption of fuel, than any other Register Stove. They are made of elegant patterns for drawing and dining- rooms, libraries, & c., and are adapted for Club- houses, Hotels, and Public Rooms. Persons purchasing Stoves would do well to inspect this Stove before making their choice.— May be seen at Messrs. BURBIDGE and HEALY's, 130, FLEET- STREET, where also may be seen an extensive and elegant assortment of other Register Stoves, Fenders, & c. MATRIMONY.— The Advertiser, in addition to considerable expectations, possesses a clear income of a thousand a- year, a good person, and hereditary rank. Any Gentlewoman of corresponding preten- sions may safely address a note to A. W. Smith, Esq., Post- office, Cnurch- street, Chelsea; but answers clearly from improper characters, and incompetent respondents, are at once destroyed, without a word of comment, a waste only of labour and money to the authors. Unpaid letters are rejected. MATRIMONY.— An Individual of rank, character, and excel- lent connexions, sincerely wishes for a suitable ALLIANCE, convinced that, in the happy society of an amiable partner, more real felicity is to be found, than in the wearisome pursu its of fashionable life; which, however attractive for a season, lose their charms after a few years' enjoyment. As the Advertiser is perfectly sincere, he trusts that Ladies of character and respectabliity, who may be disposed to honour him with a previous correspondence, will receive his address in the same spirit as it is made, and not, as is too often unfortunately the case, regard it as the offspring of mere heartless folly, or ( what is worse) base and sordid views, both of which be utterly disclaims.— Address, post- paid only, to Francis Hanbury, Esq., General Post- office, Brompton, till called for.— Re- ferences given and required. MATRIMONY.— A Gentleman of rank, respectability, and independent income, with the certain prospect of a large fortune, who has been absent from England for some years, is desirous of making an early marriage, in order to avoid the vice and demoralization, with the consequent unhappiness of a single life, adopts this method to procure a meeting with a Lady of suitable disposition and entertaining similar views, hoping to obviate the otherwise ne- cessary delay and loss of time. It is extremely difficult to speak of ourselves with judgment and truth, consistently with good taste, therefore will only say that he is of very happy disposition and good temper, a devoted admirer of his fair country- women, and if not possessing all the requisites and qualifications to make a com- panion happy, is animated at least with the most ardent desires to do so by every means which high- mindedness, a liberal education, virtuous and good disposition, foreign travel, and entree to the first society can furnish. Above middle stature, he is slight, well made, not deformed or defective, and under thirty years of age. Some highly desirable and adventitious circumstances in which the Advertiser is placed cannot be more fully alluded to here. Corresponding feelings and senti- ments necessarily looked for on the part of the Lady, and the extent of fortune expected, on account of the rank and circumstances of the Advertiser, though of some consideration, in order to insure the approbation of relations, from whom he has large expectations, yet is not of paramount importance in his views to youth and personal appearance, and even these are secondary objects to amiability, sweet temper, goodness of heart, and beauties of mind. A Lady wholly inde- pendent, and at her own disposal, would be preferred, or the daughter of a re- spectable citizen, retired or otherwise, whose object would be good connexions and society. Any Lady replying to this may place the fullest reliance on the integrity, prudence, and unsullied honour of a Gentleman who will attend to any suggestion for correspondence or interview and mutual acquaintance, or will adopt and point out such means to effect the latter, consistent with the most scrupulous delicacy, as will effectually frustrate any attempt at impertinent cu- riosity.— l etters, post- paid, addressed W. H. S., Post- office, Vere- street, Oxford- street, or General Post- office. ARGUS LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 39, Throginorton- Street, London.— EMPOWERED by ACT of PARLIAMENT.

They avail themselves of this oppor- tunity to express their grateful acknowledgments for the distinguished patronage which has so long been given to their house, and to observe that they retain the whole of the Old and Valuable Stock of CHOICE BRANDIES and LIQUEURS for which they have so long been celebrated. COLD WEATHER.— PATENT HOT WATER APPARA- TUS, and PATENT HOT AIR STOVE for Warming Public Buildings, Churches, Hot- houses, Conservatories, and Dwelling- houses. BURBIDGE and HEALY, being the original Manufacturers of the above Apparatus, after great experience, can safely recommend it as the best mode of Warming and Ventilation. The advantages possessed by this Apparatus over all other modes of conveying artificial warmth are— 1st, its economy in fuel ; 2dly, its perfect safety from fire ( in proof of this it is highly recommended by the Assurance Offices, several of which have been warmed by B. and H.; 3dly, its neatness, as the tubes through which the water circulates, being only one inch in diameter, can be disposed round the apartments without being seen, or placed in coils under elegant pedestals, & c.; 4thly, the construction of the furnace is such that the fire can be continued from eight to twelve hours without attendance, and can be regulated so that the apparatus will give out any degree of heat suitable to the season of the year for any length of time. B. and H. also recommend their PATENT HOT AIR STOVE, after several years' trial, as being the most economical in consumption of fuel, and giving more heat than any other Stove. The Apparatus and Stove may be seen in operation at Burbidge and Healy's 130, Fleet- street. BURGESS'S ESSENCE Or ANCHOVIES. Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London. JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous endeavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make eel itincumbent upon them to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing, what they conceive to be the original, to observe the Name and Address correspond with the above- The general appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the unguarded, and for their detection, J. B. and Son submit the following Cau- tions: some are in appearance at first sight " The Genuine," but without any name or address— some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies"— others " Burgess," aud many more without address. JOHN BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured with such dis- tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect toward the Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they con- ceive to be of their make, which they hope will prevent many disappointments.

" J" ONDON, 28th 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 omly 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. N. B. Colonel Rowan consented to the discharge of a man in this case, in the early part of last year ; but the communication was intercepted, and not known till within the last few weeks. BIRMINGHAM, BRISTOL, AND THAMES JUNCTION RAILWAY, to connect the Birmingham and Great Western Railways with the South- Western Districts of the Metropolis, and communicate with the river Thames, through the medium of the Kensington Canal. Capital .^ 150,000, in 7,500 Shares of £ 20 each. Deposit £ 1 per Share.— Notice is hereby given, that in consequence of the numerous applications for Shares and the necessary inquiries resulting therefrom, the Committee find it impossible to issue letters of appropriation before Tuesday next, the 1st. Dec. Office; 18, Austin friars, Nov. 25. JOHN THOMPSON, Sec. THAMES HAVEN RAILWAY, from LONDON to ROM- FORD, HORNCHURCH, UPMINSTER, OCKENDON, ORSETT, and HORNDON, to SHELL HAVEN, about midway between TILBURY FORT and SOUTHEND, in Essex. 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) offers 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 in the ensuing Session of Parliament. Applications for Shares ( if by letter, post- paid) to be made tQ Messrs. Burn, Vaux, and Fennell, Solicitors, 32, Bedford- row, London ; or the Secretary, at the Office, vvhere plans and particulars may be obtained. HENRY AMSINCK, Secretary.

PRESENTS, NEW YEAR'S GIFTS, < fec.— As the season is approaching for the interchange of gifts and presents, we may remove the formi- dable difficulty so often felt in the choice of an appropriate object by directing the attention of our readers to the very beautiful edition of Cowper'sLifeand { forks, inst completed, by the Rev. Mr. Grimshawe; • we can hardly imagine any work more fitted to form the character, morals, and intellect of the rising generation than the inestimable • writings of England's " household poet," Cowper, nor one that a Christian parent would sooner present to his child,, or a brother to his sister. This first uniform and complete edition is in eight elegant volumes, embellished with sixteen engravings by Finden, and bound and lettered for the moderate price of 5s. per volume. The attention of our readers is directed to the following communi- cation :— To A. ROWLAND AND SON, 20, HATTON- GARDEN. Gentlemen,— I have the pleasure of informing you of another instance of the wonderful efficacy of your Macassar Oil. Some time since 1 recommended it to a lady, who had entirely lost her hair six years previous ; she purchased two small bottles of me ; the extraor- dinary effect they have had yon will find by reading the following copy of a note received by me vesterday :— 4 Sir,— The oil you recommended me to use has had the etfect of restoring my Lair, to the great astonishment of myself and friends. When I purchased the two small bottles of yon I had not the least faith in it, although you so strongly recommended it; however, I am now so well convinced of its virtues, that I do not intend being without, and purpose making a present of a bottle each to some of my friends, and beg you to send me one dozen of the same size as last. " Sunning Hill, Berk's. " J. S." I remain, Gentlemen, your obedient servant, G. MASTERS. Commercial- road. ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL, < fcc., prevents hair from falling off, or turning grey; changes grey hair to its original colour, frees it from scurf and dandriff, and makes it beautifully soft and curly. Notice— The lowest price is 3s. 6d., the next price 7s., 10s. 6d., and 21s. per bottle.— Ask for " Rowland's Macassar Oil."— Impostors call their trash the genuine, offering it for sale under the lure of being cheap. The Gazette of Tuesday contains the following return from the Bank, for the Quarter ended on the 17th inst.:— LIABILITIES. ASSETS.

In his speech his Lordship says, " to the Canadians both of French and British origin, and of every class and description, I would say, consider the blessings you might enjoy, and the favoured situation in which, but for your dissensions, you would find yourself placed." He says the Royal Commission was issued • with a view to redress all real grievances, and to do justice to all parties. There are fears that the efforts of the Commission will partially fail, the French party being set upon breaking the con- nexion with England. Tho Siamese twins have arrived in Paris from New York; they are much improved in general appearance and stature since they left England. They were a few days at Dover last week, having landed there from the New York ship in which they sailed. A nursery- maid was walking along Portland- place, on Monday, with two children belonging to Mr. and Mrs. George, of Great Mary- lebone- street, when one of them, a very beautiful little girl, put her head between the rails of an arena to " bow- wow" at a large dog loose in the yard, when the savage animal immediately sprang at the helpless infant, and tore the nose from its face. The owner instantly ordered the dog to be put to death. DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT GREENOCK.—( From the Glasgow Herald of Monday.)— About half- past 11 o'clock, on the evening of Saturday last, the dam on the Cartsburn rivulet, at the back or south side of the Whinhill, at Greenock, burBt, and in its progress towards the sea overflowed almost the entire of the suburbs of Greenock, called Crawfordsdyke. Many lives have been lost and much property destroyed. By the latest intelligence, we learn that 31 bodies have been found, although many are still missing. A man named Alexander had gone out to supper his horse, and nothing was heard of him until the receding of the flood, when it was discovered that the stable, and with it poor Alexander and his horse, had been all swept away by the torrent. They were found mingled with other corpses, amongst heaps of rubbish, at the foot of East Blackhall- street. One man, name unknown, was found dead in bed, having been drowned while asleep._ In one house alone there were four persons drowned; and, indeed, it is matter of astonishment, from the immense body of water which came down, almost like a wall, that greater destruction did not happen. Many miraculous escapes are mentioned— one of a woman who was discovered in a boat whicn had been floated from some of the boat- builders' sheds in the vicinity, but how she had got into it she could not tell. The miller of the Cartsburn flour- mill and his family l » ad a very narrow escape; at the moment of discovering the water rushing into the house, he, assisted by his family, cut through a partition in the mill, and gained access to an upper floor, from whence they made their escape along the troughs; but his horse, worth upwards of 30 guineas, was, with its stable, swept away by the resistless flood. There is at present no accounting for this destructive event; but heavier rains have not fallen at Greenock for many years. We are informed that this is the second time which this dam has burst— the first was about twenty years ago,_ when it was equally destructive to property, butjortunately less so in lives, FOREIGN. A telegraphic despatch, published in the Journal de Paris of Tues- day night, announces that on the 19th inst. the Duke of Orleans had left Algiers for Oran, with Marshal Clausel. Other communications — but, of course, anterior to this despatch— state that all the means available were to be used to give success to this expedition. There is nothing new respecting the American question, yet we find that orders have been received at Cherbourg, to fit out fir sea the Genereux, ship of the line. Admiral MACKAU is to sail in the course of next week, to take the command of the French naval force in the West Indies. The armed brig Meleagre, put to sea from Toulon, on the 19th inst., in consequence of orders, received by telegraph, to watch the motions of the naval armaments about to sail from Genoa. The Courrier Franeais corroborates the statement of the Temps of a secret treaty having been concluded between the United States and Russia, and another print gives us to understand that General Jackson has already made some overtures to the St. Petersburg Court as to the course to be pursued by the latter in the event of hostilities breaking out between America* and France. A Royal ordonnance, counter- signed by the Duke de Broglie, is published in the Moniteur, by which the treaties between France and Switzerland are suspended with regard to the country canton of Basle, as well as all diplomatic intercourse with that district. The origin of this feud, is the refusal made by the canton to suffer some French Israelites to purchase a renl* state within its territory. The last accounts from the North of Spain represent the Calists as having succeeded iu driving their antagonists from their temporary possession of Estella. G eneral Eguia is carrying on the war with much activity, and the departure of Colonel Evans to join General Cordova, has been, as was expected, followed by the immediate investment of Bilboa by the Carlists. Don Carlos and Don Sebastian are at Palencia, but Onate is the head- quarters of their army, the organi- zation of which is said to be considerably improved. Colonel Evans does not appear to be_ doing anything, except disciplining his men by the vigorous application of the cat- o'- nine- tails. The Augsburg Gazette of the 21st inst. states that the King of Naples had in his hands a sum of 25 millions of francs, subscribed by the Princes of Italy for Don Carlos, which the latter is to repay only on arriving at the Spanish throne. Advices from Prague state that Charles X. had taken up his resi- dence for the winter in the Castle of that city. The Duke deBlacas, his son, M. de Bourmont, and two of his sons, had joined the ex- King, but M. de Bourmont intended shortly to return to Rome. M. de St. Sylvain, who accompanied Don Carlos on his way through France and into Spain, left Vienna, for Paris, on the 10th. The Duchess of Berri had taken an hotel at Gratz for a year. The Prin- cess of Beira also purposes fixing herself in that city for some time. Accounts from Greece, received via Trieste, come down to the 16th October. The country continued to be overrun with banditti, who retired into the mountains on the approach of the troops. Moreover the Archipelago is, it appears, infested by pirates. The Turkish Government is arming at all points, by sea and land, for some great effort. The object would seem to be Syria, where great exertions are to be made for restoring the Ottoman power. INSURRECTION IN SARDINIA.— Tiurich, Noi'. lG.— We just learn that an insurrection has taken place in the island of Sardinia. It seems that this event is very important, as numerous detachments of troops have been sent to Genoa, from which place they will embark for Sardinia. The belief is that the inhabitants of the'island claim some old franchises, which the Government refuses them. The great landlords are almost all Spaniards.— Journal de Franefort, Nov. 20. What has taken place at Sardinia excites great uneasiness at Vienna, where the consequences that these events may have throughout Italy are dreaded.— Post Gazette of Franefort. An insurrection is stated to 1 have broken: out in Sardinia, where the Spanish flag has been hoisted.— National. PERSIA.— ODESSA, Oct. 24.— We have received, by way of Trebisond, accounts from Taurus to the end of September, according to which the victories obtained in the month of August gave reason to expect that the total pacification of the Persian Empire was near at hand. It is strange, and yet it is a fact, that the conflicting interests ot Russia and England must, under present circumstances, though from different motives, unite in one point— viz., to keep and confirm the reigning Scach on the throne— Russia, because it prefers a weak Prince on the throne, and England because it attempts at present only to preserve the Persian Empire entire. PERU.— Advices have been received from Lima, to the 21st of July inclusive, and they are of the usual disastrous character. Affairs remained in the same disordered state— no business was doing, and the roads were so infested with robbers that it was impossible to get out of Lima. The inhabitants were in daily expectation of an army of of 6,000 men, under the command of the President of Bolivia, Santa Cruz, from the interior, to attack General Salavery, who remained in the neighbourhood of Lima. He ( the latter) is described as a most sanguinary ruffian, and scarcely a day passed without some cold- blooded murder! His forces amounted to about 3,000 men, but they were well paid, and in the highest state of discipline, and he had expressed his intention of burning every house in Lima to the ground before he would give up the place. Affairs were evidently approach- ing a crisis, salavery was President at Lima, Orbregoso at Arequipa, and Gamarra, in Cuzco and Puno. There were then three Presidents, and no Congress, at least none acknowledged by the country. New York Papers to the 4th inst. exhibit the usual violence of party spirit at the elections, and the same outrageous animosity against the advocates for the abolition of slavery, which has of late distin- guished and disgraced the proceedings of the Republic. It appears that a war spirit has been kindled by other causes, which has pro- bably by this time led to hostilities between Texas and the parent Government of Mexico, and which threatens in its consequences to involve the United States in a war with that Goverment. The following tale of lamentable occurrences, related to us as having very recently happened, is, we believe, almost without parallel:— William Jackson, a hay and straw carter, of Tottenham, returning homewards with a load, when upon Amwell- hill, in this vicinity, mounted his cart to arrange a rope which appeared to be out of order, he fell backward therefrom, injured his spine, and died in consequence. A lad engaged by the widow to drive the cart, uponher husband's death, slept upon the road on his way to London, fell off thence, and died on the following day of the injuries received. An elderly man, a relative of the widow, was then employed to conduct the vehicle— when passing through Smithfield, the horse took fright at a dog cart, and ran the cart over a child, which was killed on the spot. The driver in an attempt to stop the animal, caught at the bridle— it broke, hefell under the wheels, both his thighs were broken, and he was otherwise much injured; the next day he was a corpse ! ! — County Press. On Friday, at Cuckfield, there was a meeting of Guardians, Petty Sessions, and corn market. Soon after the Board of Guardians had assembled, a party of about 50 men, having the appearance of farm labourers, presented themselves with sticks of no slender dimensions. They came from Worth and Ardingly, and complained of want of work, and consequently of want of food. They were, however, pre- vailed upon, by some representation of their Guardian, to return home in tolerably peaceable order; but it was understood, and it is pretty evident, that the mischief of the New Poor Law, which has been introduced, and its provisions enforced with great severity, is beginning to show itself, and it is feared that the consequences may yet be very serious.— Brighton Gazette. At the Central Criminal Court, on Wednesday, Thomas Steadman, aged 35, who was described in the calendar as a tailor, was indicted for feloniously uttering an order, purporting to be written by Lieut.- Colonel Wedderburn, for the payment of 41. 19s. well knowing the same to be forged, with intent to defraud Richard Henry Cox, and two others, the bankers commonly called Messrs. Cox and Green- wood, of Craig's- court, Charing- cross.— The prisoner, who conducted his own case, said he received the order from another person who was his particular friend, and who was on his voyage to Spain, as pay- ment for a suit of clothes, which he had pledged. He was taken from the bosom of a beloved wife and small family, and from what he had endured in Newgate, he would not accept the gift of a bank note as an equivalent for his mental sufferings. Should he be found guilty, the Learned Judge would not be able to prevent the dreadful sentence of transportation for life, which was next in severity to the punish- ment of death, as it would for ever separate him from all he held dear to him for life, and immure him in a living grave.— The prisoner called no witnesses to character, but concluded by quoting lines to mercy, beginning with— " There's mercy in each breath of air," & c. which had a very visible effect won the auditory.— The Jury pro- nounced a verdict of Guilty.— The Learned Judge informed the prisoner he might apply for mercy alone to the Secretary of State. THE MODEL " REPUBLIC." The following description of that admirable display of " Cheap Government"— that envy of the ultra Radicals of England— the " United" States of America ; is copied from the Salem Gazette into the Philadelphia Gazette; with an introduction from the Philadelphian Editor affirming that it is full of truth and worthy of the most seriou3 consideration:— " The most ravenous appetite must have been glutted and destroyed by a perusal of the columns of any late newspaper. Revenge, riot, and intemperance seem to have their perfect work in every section of the country. Exhibitions are every day made of lawless excess, of infernal jealousy, of cold- blooded malignity, of most debasing sensu- ality, of utter recklessness of life, and entire disregard, if not disbelief, of a futurity, which would have been considered honourable bv tho most brutal of the red- capped " friends of the human race" of the French Revolution. And the signs of the times have for a long time past given full promise of such a state of things. The preparation for it has been long and thorough. The pernicious doctrines, that any measures however dishonest, and men however unprinci- pled, may be made use of, in order to accomplish a political object — that the laws are inadequate, or too tardy in their operations, to enforce rights and redress wrongs, and must give place to the inconsiderate judgments and sanguinary executions of the mob— that self- gratification in its broadest sense is the chief end and aim of man— and that the requisitions of morality and religion are to be considered as burdensome exactions which are to be avoided by all who would obtain power or wealth in the community, have been inculcated every where and in every possible way. What matter of surprise then is it, that having sown the wind, we now begin to reap the whirlwind; that murders, robberies, gambling in all its varieties, sui- cides, mob outrages of every kindhave become so frightfully frequent ? Bnt the fact of the existence of such a state of things being unques- tionable, and the evils of it perfectly apparent, the question naturally suggests itself, what measures of prevention or cure can be taken by those who prize the blessings of order and law, and are desirous to preserve their property and save their lives ? Let every good man and true in the community put this question to himself in sober earnest, and let the answer which suggests itself to the wiseman, the learned man, and the good man, be made known and acted upon- Let the lessons of wisdom, of experience, of truth, be put forth boldly. This is no time for timidity. He who, having the power to do some- thing to increase knowledge, to proclaim truth, to confute error, and thus to advance the cause of order, morality, religion, law, and i liberty, is too timid, or calculating, or desponding, to do all that he can do, by speech, or writing, or action, is lalse to himself and to the BEING who gave him powers to be used for the benefit of his fellow men." ST. PANCRAS.— DISMISSAL OF THE BEADLES.— Friday afternoon a meeting of the vestrymen of this parish was held in the Vestry Room, Gordon- square, to liear appeals m the east division. Richard Cooke, Esq., presided. It was moved and seconded " That the minutes be read and confirmed." Mr. Moore rose to move an amendment, " That so much of the minutes as related to the discharge of the beadles be not confirmed." The motion for confirmation was car- ried, by 34 to 31. A requisition, very numerously signed, was pre- sented to the Vestry Clerk immediately after the numbers were declared, calling a special meeting for the 11th of December, to annul the above proceedings. Very great commiseration prevails in favour of the beadles, who, if discharged from their employ, have no recourse but the workhouse. One of them is sixty years old, and has been in the parish service for upwards of twenty- two years. He has seven children, of whom one is insane. They have had their emoluments reduced one- half within these few months. The Ariadne, and the Royal Tar, steamer, left Woolwich yesterday morning for Spain, having on board 150 men, and a number of horses for the cavalry, besides a large quantity of ammunition; 50,000 muskets and sabres have been shipped during the week from Wool- wich and Portsmouth, out of the royal arsenals, for the service of the Queen of Spain; and five of his Majesty's ships of war are now being fitted out, under orders to sail immediately, to cruise off the northern coast of Spain, to prevent Don Carlos receiving supplies by sea. In a trial at the Central Criminal Court on Friday, of a man for stealing a butcher's knife, it appeared that the knife had been offered to the prosecutor for sale immediately subsequent to the theft, and that, after he had, as he conceived, made a good bargain, he disco- vered he had purchased his own knife. On Thursday morning, about one o'clock, Miss Emma Martin, a young lady about nineteen years of age, the daughter of R. Martm, Esq., residing at St. John's Wood, Regent's Park, set fire to her gown as she and her sister were going to bed, and she was so dread- fully burnt that it is scarcely expected she can survive. Miss Martin was standing with her back to the dressing- table, and was net aware the candle was so near, when the flame communicated with her gown. Friday morning, the sentence of the law was carried into effect upon James Pratt, aged 32, and John Smith, aged 34, who were con- victed at the September Sessions of the Central Criminal Court of a capital offence. The momeDt the culprits were perceived by the con- course of people assembled, they were received with groans and hisses, which lasted during the whole of the time the hangman was making the necessary preparations. Pratt was a married man, the other culprit was single. Some days ago, the bases of three columns were discovered on the north side of Westgate- street, Gloucester; several pieces of the shafts, and a Grecian capital, were also discovered. As the city of Glou- cester was a principal Roman station, there can belittle doubt that these are the relics of some magnificent building erected by the Ro- mans ; and as it has never as yet been known where the Prsetorium stood, it is not too much to suppose that these columns formed a part of it. The material used was Painswick stone, of which the Cathedral is also built. DREADFUL STORM.— The Scotch provincial papers are filled with the most lamentable details of the effects of a violent storm, which appears to have been general on the northern coast of Scotland on Wednesday morning the 18th inst. The previous night was clear and calm, and the " Aurora Borealis" more than usually brilliant. The morning was equally fine, with a mild breeze from the south- ward, when about half- past ten o'clock it veered suddenly to the north, and in a short time blew a hurricane. A number of fishing boats were overtaken by the storm, and, notwithstanding the most experienced seamanship on the part of the crews, were unable to survive the tempest. Eight boats and 48 men are already ascertained to have been lost, in addition to which several fishing boats are still missing, and there is much reason to fear that their crews have met a ' watery grave. Several coasting vessels were totally wrecked, but providentially all their crews were saved. The hurricane is said to haveexceeded any- thing of the kind ever remembered— unroofing houses, and driving slate3, tiles, & c., before it like chaff. In the country many stacks of grain were blown awav. On Wednesday morning, the 18th instant, five of the fishing- boats from Coldingham, while out at sea, were overtaken by a violent storm. The crew drew in their nets with all speed, double- reefed their sails, used every precaution which the most experiencedseaman- ship could suggest, and stood for the nearest port. All the boats reached the harbours of Eyemouth and Burnmouth, with splintered masts and torn sails, except the Seaflower. She had been observed by her companions in distress but a few yards a- head, struggling with the tempest. A wave intercepted the view; they looked again — a solitary oar floated on the waters! Her crew consisted of an able and experienced skipper, and five young men, the flower of the vil- lage. The following are the names of the men lost, viz.:— Peter Johnson, skipper, unmarried, cousin of Robert and Alick; John Wilson, sen., left a widow; John Wilson, jun., son of the above, left a widow and one child— wife far advanced in pregnancy; David Car- mack, Robert Johnson, and Alexander Johnson, brothers, single men.— Berwick and Kelso fVarder. The Cincinnati IVhig states that the " Prince of aeronants, Mr- Clayton, is busy in building a new balloon, which he designs calling the Star of the West, and which when made will be the largest and most magnificent aerostatic vessel ever constructed. Its power will be sufficient to convey from 20 to 30 persons through the atmosphere, and to make voyages of from 1,000 to 3,000 miles, It is to be con- structed of the best and strongest kind of materials; every part capable of bearing at least 20 times greater strain than will ever be required; and the part that is to contain the gas, will be so formed as to preclude the possibility of a rupture." Amongst the important questions intended to be brought forward during the next Session is a Bill for the consolidation of the whole of the Turnpike Trusts throughout the kingdom. A patent has been obtained by Mr. Thomas Greig, of Ro3e- bank, near Bury, for an invention of " a mode of embossing and printing, at one and the same time, by means of a cylinder or roller, on goods or fabrics made of or from cotton, silk, flax, hemp, and wool, or on any one or more of those materials, or on paper November 29.

The conditions to which they have agreed are that they must labour as servants for five years for a few acres of land, at the expiration of which they enter on the pos- session of their little property. We are glad to find that the public is at length likely to be relieved from that most intolerable nuisance, Smithfield market. Wednesday « printed notice was affixed to the principal doors of St. Sepulchre's Church, stating it to be intended to apply to the next Session of Parliament for a Bill to alter, amend, and enlarge the powers of the A ct passed last Session, entitled, " An Act for establishing a Market for the Sale of Cattle in the parish of St. Mary, Islingtonin which Bill provision is particularly intended to be made for removing en- tirely Smithfield market to Islington. By the returns of the quantity of cattle sold in Smithfield market, • we find that, during the last twelve months, the numbers were 156,000 beasts, 21,000 calves, 1,500,000 sheep, and 20,000 pigs. This does not, however, by any means form the total consumed in London, as large quantities of meat in carcasses, particularly pork, are daily brought from the counties round the metropolis. The total value of the cattle sold in Smithfield annually is calculated at 8,500,0001. A true bill upon an indictment for conspiracy has been found by • the Grand Jury at Westminster against Messrs. Kensett, Davey, Flood, Robinson, Glazier, and Stewart. The indictment arises out • of an alleged smuggling into the Middlesex county list of voters the names of forty- two vestrymen of the parish of Marylebone, without the consent or knowledge of the overseers. REPRESENTATIVE PEERAGE.— We are happy to state that Lord HAWABDEX, who, with Lord DUNSANY, was starting on the Con- servative interest, has withdrawn from the contest; and, as there • will not be any splitting of votes, the latter Noble Lord's election is now secure. On the chance of a disunion, the Government had put Lord LISMORE in nomination, but, of course, without now the most remote chance of success.— Dublin Evening Mail. The Temps, Paris paper, says that a secret treaty of alliance has been concluded between the United States and Russia, the object of which is to take all chances for the future. The Poor Law Commissioners have at length issued their precept for the formation of a Board of Guardians in the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, much to the terror of the poor inmates of the workhouse, who perceive in the change nothing short of starvation. The two • ecclesiastical districts of St. Mary and the Waterloo- road still remain lighted with oil, and there seems to be no hope of any arrangement being made between the Radical " Trustees" of the Lambeth Im- provement Act and the Directors of the Gas Companies. The wealthy Conservative Member for South Devon, Sir JOHN YARDE BULLER, is about to commence extensive improvements at his residence on the coast of Torbay. When completed, it is under- stood to be the hospitable Baronet's intention to revive the English hospitality at Sapten House in its ancient splendour. Between 90 and 100 Solicitors were on Wednesday sworn in the Rolls Court, and admitted to practice, being a greater number than on any former occasion. Sir GEORGE HAMILTON is succeeded as Secretary of Legation at Brussels by H. L. BULWER, Esq., M. P. The Hon.

The Court of Aldermen have declined to swear in the newly- elect- ed Alderman, Mr. SOLOMON, on the ground that he is of the Jewish • persuasion, and therefore cannot be legally sworn.— It is probable that the Court of King's Bench will have to settle the point. A Protestant meeting was held on the 5th inst., in the Highlands of Scotland. The report of the proceedings in the Aberdeen Observer concludes thus:— " The Rev. Mr. CARMENT then addressed the meeting, and in a very impressive manner called upon all those who were determined to stand by the Church of GOD to rise, and to hold up their hands to heaven as a pledge that they were ready even to shed their blood in her defence. Every individual in the Church rose andliftedhis hands, and we feel convinced that there was not a man present who did not at that moment consider himself bound, by the most solemn declara- tion in the sight of GOD, to sacrifice his life, if called on, in defence of his National Church. It was determined immediately to form an association on the same footing as those in other parts of Scotland, and a day was fixed for holding another meeting to draw up rules, and enrol members. This example will be followed by almost every parish in the Highlands." The Londonderry Sentinel says that great preparations are being made in anticipation of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S acceptance of the invita- tion to a public dinner in that city. The erection of a pavilion, to be capable of containing 1,500 persons, is in contemplation. The King of GREECE is said to have conferred the Order of " The Saviour" on the Earl of DURHAM.

Almost half the population had already fallen victims to it. A correspondent of the Clonmel Paper alleges that Mr. EVANS purchased the good will of the Agitator at the last election for Dublin County by paying the expenses of Mr. FITZSIMON, his son- in- law. A denial of this has not been as yet even attempted.— Aewry Telegraph. The Vienna papers mention the death of a celebrated and favourite comic actor of the name of IGNATIUS SCHUSTER.

We have the authority, says the Post, of Mr. BANKHAUSEN, the Russian Consul- General, to contradict the statement of the loss of the service of plate presented by the Emperor of RUSSIA to Count MATUSZEVIC, it not having yet been shipped. We have only to add, that his Excellency, in a letter to a Noble Lord, written on Thursday last at Paris, gave the statement we originally published. A grand Conservative dinner was last week given at Kingsbridge to Sir J. B. Y. BULLER, and M. PARKER, Esq., the representatives of South Devon. Upwards of 400 gentlemen attended the festival, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The speeches of the worthy Members, and of W. T. CLARKE, Esq., the Chairman, the Rev. Lord H. KERR, General Sir R. ADAMS, Captain WOOLCOMBE, R. N., A. H. HOLDSWORTH, Esq., T. WEYMOUTH, Esq., Captains LOWES and DE LA FOSSE, were replete with expressions of confidence in the late Ministry, and of mistrust ofthe present Administration. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUICIDE.— On Wednesday an inquisi- tion was held before Mr. Gell, at the Albion Tavern, Beak- street, Regent- street, on the body of John M'Kerrell, Esq., a gentleman of large property, formerly holding a high situation in the civil estab- lishment of the East India Company at Madras.— Dr. James Johnson deposed that he had attended the deceased professionally for the last four years, and always for the same malady— namely, an extraordinary state of delusion under which he laboured every alternate day , accom- panied by most dreadful horrors and depression of mind. He did not feel himself at liberty to mention the precise delusions under which the unhappy gentleman had laboured, as he had made a solemn promise, prior to their being professionally made known to him by the deceased, that he would never divulge them to any human being. He might, however, state that they had not the remotest reference to any act of moral guilt, or to any circumstance in which the community could have an interest, but turned on an idle circumstance equally unim- portant to himself and to others, but still were capable of producing a most extraordinary horror of mind. The detail of the delusions could not throw any possible light on the object of the present inquiry. He ( witness) did not consider the delusion of a kind necessary to have justified any restraint upon him, and he did not apprehend any danger of suicide; indeed, the deceased, in his conversations with wit- ness, frequently said that what he was suffering in body and mind might induce many men to rush madly upon suicide for relief, but he had too high a moral and religious sense ever to be guilty of such an act. The deceased described the disease to have had its rise about four years ago, immediately after the first election for the borough of Paisley, when he was a candidate for its representa- tion, but was defeated. It was not so severe at first, but has been gradually increasing in strength ever since. The deceased was a highly educated gentleman, of very superior intellectual powers; he had seen very few men equal to him. The deceased occupied apartments at Mr. Vickery's, Regent- street; and was found dead on Tuesday morning, in his sitting room, having taken a quantity of Prussic acid, and having left a letter addressed to Mrs. Vickery, stating his intention to destroy himself.— Eliza- beth Findlater proved finding him in the room dead, after having left him for a few minutes.— Mr. Vickery said he had never any reason to suppose the deceased insane, except from his strange conduct respecting two projected journeys to Scotland. The first was in 1834, when the deceased booked himself by mail to Paisley, but after reaching Manchester left the mail, and returned to London by the first coach, and then again booked himself by mail to go to Paisley the same night, and went as far as Bir- mingham, and thence returned as before. He a third time booked himself, but never started, and sent witness to make the best bargain he could as to getting back a portion of the money. A few days after he again booked himself, and then actually made the journey, and did not return for some weeks. In the present year, about July, he booked himself for Edinburgh, and on the day he ought to have started he sent for witness, who found him in bed, and witness by his desire wrote and put into the post a letter, addressed to deceased's sister, informing her he was too ill to make the journey; yet he afterwards got up and went by the mail. The deceased, prior to the Paisley election, was in the regular habit of dining at the Oriental Club, buthad since leda very retiredlife. Witness had been informed by Major Wimbolt and other friends of the deceased that his fortune was not less than 40,0001. a- year. The deceased was very regular in his habits, and always settled his household accounts every Wednesday; but it was a remarkable fact that this week he had called for and settled his accounts with Mrs. Vickery about one o'clock on Tuesday, the very day he committed sui- cide. Deceased was a man of rigidly temperate habits. — After some time had been spent in consultation, the Coroner suggested taking the opinions of the Jurors seriatim} for lunacy or felo de se, when there were found to be 15 for a verdict of lunacy, and five for felo de se. A verdict of suicide during a state of temporary lunacy was then recorded.— The Coroner said he had purposely abstained from mentioning'before, lest it should improperly bias the verdict, the fact that, had the decision of the majority been felo de se the whole of the deceased's princely fortune would have become for- feited to the Crown. A woman, the mother of two children, and about to become a mo- ther again, lately committed murder and suicideat Digoin, in France, in the following manner:— She took both children out with her to walk on the bank of the Loire, and when she thought herself far enough from any habitation, she threw the two little ones into the river, and drowned herself immediately after. A wretched creaturej in a state approaching to nudity, and eaten up with filth and vermin, and who appeared more like a wild man than one who had been among civilised beings, was wandering in the streets of Chichester on Saturday, and puzzled the Magistrates and the guardians of the poor to know what to do with him. At length it was agreed to clothe and supply him with food, which was accord- ingly done; but whether, from his having been so exhausted from want of sustenance, or the supply was more stimulating than his feeble frame could bear, shortly after having taken it he dropped down and expired. His semi- idiotic appearance probably arose from his pre- vious prolonged want of sustenance.— Brighton Guardian. A very handsome building has lately been erected at Oldham, in Lancashire, at the cost of several thousand pounds, by the inhabi- tants of that town, called the Blue Coat School; for clothing and educating 100 poor boys ; and which has been endowed by a gentle- man of the name of Henshaw, who died there a few years since, with, a sum of money amounting to upwards of 70,0001.

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

Its astonishing and almost miraculous effects have also been experienced in the speedy cure of paralytic affections, contracted and stiff joints, glandular swellings, pains of the chest and bones, chronic rheumatism, palpitation of the heart, and dropsy.

TO CORRESPONDENTS. JVe very much doubt whether the letter upon " Bridge- building in China" would be particularly interesting to anybody in England. In reply to the author of a " Versified Speech," we have only to ob- serve that the A1SS. of articles which, are declined are invariably de- stroyed on the Saturday in each week. H e are sorry we have no room this week for the Proceedings at Aylesbury and Framlingham, or for the Proposition for forming Con- servative Societies. It is impossible in a weekly Paper to treat of such subjects at the length necessary to render them either clear or interest- ing— we will, however, not less sight of the communications. The subject referred to by a correspondent who forwards a news- paper, which has been returned, is one not sufficiently worth notice, from the obscurity of the source of attack. IOHH BULL. LONDON, NOVEMBER 29. Their MAJESTIES remain at Brighton, anil are constantly mixing in the most affable manner. His MAJESTY chiefly takes the air in a carriage, and wherever he is seen he is treated with a marked respect and dutiful regard, which must be of all other manifestations of popular feeling, the most gratifying to a MONARCH— the father of his People, living amongst them, as WILLIAM the FOURTH unostentatiously lives at Brighton. The QUEEN, who walks a good deal, having been incon- venienced by the ardent desire of the public to approach her Royal Person, when recognised by the appearance of a suite, takes exercise accompanied only by two, or at most three, of the inmates of the Pavilion. It is certain that her MAJESTY must be highly gratified by the loyalty and affection which induce the solicitude to pay her respect; but a crowd, especially 011 such a buoyant promenade as the Chain Pier, is something serious to encounter in a physical point of view. THE French politicians are in a great rage because the KING of the Barricades has invited a considerable number of Russian Diplomates and Nobles to dinner since the circulation of the speech of the EMPEROR. We see nothing strange in this. The Citizen- MoNARCH has shown every disposition to establish an absolute monarchy in France ; why should he not manifest his approbation at the promise of measures towards Poland, which will justify his speedy interference with some of his refractory neighbours ? The French seem not to per- ceive bow completely they are bound to the spread of territory and dominion, which no doubt LOUIS PHILIPPE has in view — they are perfectly hampered. In the rest of Europe, to use the words of the inimitable TOMKINS, " the schoolmaster is abroad," whence we are to infer that freedom, and libe- rality, and revolution, and anarchy are to prevail. France will find itself excluded from these sweeping innovations,— they are obliged to keep THE SCHOOLMASTER AT HOME. THE affairs of Spain and Portugal seem to have taken a new turn— that is to say, if any reliance is to be placed upon what we have been previously told. The young heroine of Portugal has changed her Ministers, a course extremely right to pursue, if adopted in time; when it has been too long delayed, it reminds us of GEORGE COL- MAN'S couplet, in his Fat Single Gentleman :— " WILL kick'd out the Doctors— but when ill, indeed, E'en dismissing the Doctors don't always succeed." The Marquess of LOULE has been commanded to form a Cabinet, of which JOSE JORGUE LOUREIRO, Baron SA DA BANDEIRA, F. A. CAMPOS, and MICHAEL ANTONIO VEL- IIEZ CALDEIRA, are to be members. The names of these illustrious individuals are about as well known to the gene- rality of Englishmen as those of our own CUPIDO PALMER- STELLA, IDLEFONSO GLENELLA, FRUCTIFICOSO TOMSO- NIO, or JOANNES CAMMO DE HOBBIHORSO, are to the people of Portugal. They are, we have 110 doubt, men equally worthy to fill the offices to which they are about to be appointed; and the people at Lisbon are as much delighted at having got rid of the SALDANHA Ministry as the people of London would be to hear of the removal of the O'CONNELL Cabinet here. The other young Lady— she of Spain— seems to be getting on but badly; theKlNG'S troops havedriven her defacto Ma- jesty's troops before them like sheep. Colonel EVANS made the most strenuous, and, ice think, most laudable exertions to join CORDOVA— a movement which was instantly followed by the investment of Bilboa by the KING'S forces. What adds to the advantages derivable from the junction of the gallant Member for Westminster with CORDOVA, is the fact, that the latter is extremely jealous of him, aud anxious, it is said, to pick a quarrel. The Speecli of the QUEEN is much too long for us; we know what Royal Speeches are— and so does Mr. MENDIZA- BAL— and we have reason to believe, that, however well the projects of that" most upright" Jew, may look upon paper, or sound from the tlnwne, her MAJESTY'S cause is lost. We cannot choose but make one or two brief extracts from the letter ofthe correspondent of the Morning Post, touching the state of the British auxiliaries. After what we have heard in Covent- garden, the memoranda cannot fail to be amusing. The correspondent, who is with the Christinos, says:— There has been no fighting of any consequence since the affair of the 29th ult.; but Don CARLOS is concentrating nearly the whole of his forces in the environs of Puente la Reyna and Estella, so that we may expect a grand battle will shortly " take place between the Carlists and the Queenites, which mav in all probability decide the contest, as both parties are determined to conquer or die. The army of Don CAULOS is very strong, and well provided with ammunition and provisions, which the peasantry daily furnish them with, so de- voted are these brave mountaineers to the man they consider as their lawful King. As I stated in my last that, as soon as General EVANS had with- drawn the British auxiliary force from Bilboa, the Carlists would certainly take possession ofthe town, as more than two- thirds of the inhabitants are in favour of Don CARLOS, my words have come true, as the enemy, instead of attacking us on our march, kept in the mountains, and immediately tliey found us up the country to join CORDOVA, they instantly retrograded, and, as no obstacle presented itself, they have surrounded Bilboa without the slight- est opposition. We still have San Sebastian and San- tander ' in our power, so that our communication with the sea is not cut off, and Bilboa is strongly blockaded by the British fleet, so that the enemy will not derive any great advantage by pos- sessing that city, as their supplies are cut off by sea, but by land they can procure plenty as long as our army is stationed in this quarter. Vittoria calls to my memory the victory gained by the heroic WELLINGTON over the army ofthe Usurper NAPOLEON, under the orders of JOSEPH BUONAPRTE and Marshal JOURDAIN, in 1813, when the British troops were fighting for the legitimate cause, to restore FERDINAND VII. to his throne; but how different is the case now. Englishmen are fighting against the man whom two- thirds of the nation would sooner see on the throne than the weak, tickle- minded MARIA CHRISTINA, or the baby Donna ISABELLA, SO unwil- ling are the proud Spaniards to be governed by a woman, having been for centuries past accustomed to'the salique law, until the im- becile FERDINAND, in a state of death, transferred the rights of his brother to his infant daughter. What glory will the Biitish troops reap if they do succeed : They will be'sent back to England again, as it was in Don PEDRO'S service, when their assistance is no longer required, pennyless, and shattered in health and limbs, in a cause they embarked in from the vain hopes held ont to them. Great dissatisfaction still continues amongst our men at the severe treatment and want of pay, and numbers are at present uuder arrest until they can be sent back. No less then three hundred were sent home about a fortnight ago, on board the James tVatt, for what General EVANS calls insubordination, after the greater part of them had been severely flogged. Such is the punctilious discipline pursued by your Radical " Member for Westminster, now that he is beyond the groans of his constituents, whom he has deserted for this " glorious cause." AVe look at the events which have occurred, and the inflic- tion of this severity, in a different point of view from many people. We believe the necessity of it— we are quite sure that Colonel EVANS could not keep his troops in order without it. What we blame Col. EVANS for, is not his present con- duct in Spain, but for his past conduct in Covent garden, when he availed himself of a popular and dangerous cry., to drive out his antagonist— of the perfect groundlessness and injustice of which, as he is now practically proving, he must have been at the time thoroughly convinced and satisfied. As we suspected, the version of the Emperor of RUSSIA'S speech, which was circulated last week, was an incorrect one— the variations are not very important, but we should think, considering Lord DURH AM'S public objects at St. Petersburg!], and his private sentiments in London, he must feel himself as agreeably situated as we, or any of his innumerable friends and admirers, could wish him. The speech itself is somewhat intemperate, and his Imperial Majesty would have perhaps found it more prudent to have repeated half a score platitudes put into his mouth by his Ministers, as we manage it in Eng- land, than to express his personal feelings evidently under ex- citement. IT is with feelings of the most poignant regret— even that word is not sufficiently strong, but we cannot stop to choose words— that we have to announce the death of the Dowager Marchioness of SALISBURY, and, as we are at present in- formed, the destruction of that most splendid monument of regal antiquity, HATFIELD HOUSE. Of this most agonizing event, which took place on Friday evening, the following is the account published in the Even- ing Papers of yesterday :— MELANCHOLY DEATH OF THE MARCHIONESS DOWAGER OF SALISBURY. The Marchioness Dowager of SALISBURY proceeded, as was her usual custom, to her dressing- room some time before her maid, who received orders to attend her Ladyship at six o'clock, to assist her toilet for dinner. On the maid opening the door of her Ladyship's dressing- room a volume of flame immediately issued therefrom, ren- dering any assistance to the unfortunate Lady, if it were in time, im- possible. The maid ran down stairs giving the alarm of fire, and almost immediately afterwards the devouring element had taken so firm a hold of this once- magnificent pile, as to render any hopes of saving it from destruction impossible. In the confusion consequent on this occurrence, and the feeling of self- preservation pervading each person, no notice was excited by the absence of one individual, how- ever high her rank ; but this morning, when the necessary inquiries were made, the melancholy truth was made known, and on exami- nation confirmed, that this venerable and exemplary Lady had expired in the appalling manner above referred to. Her Ladyship, who was the Lady MARY AMELIA HILL before her marriage with JAMES Earl ( afterwards Marquess) of SALISBURY, was eldest surviving daughter of WITTS HILL Earl of HILLSBOROUGH, and sister to the Marquess of WATERFORD. She was born Aug. 16, 1751, and married Dec. 2, 1773. She was the mother of the present Marquess of SALISBURY, the Marchioness of WESTMEATH, and other children— first cousin to the Dukes of WELLINGTON and LEINSTER, Marquess WELLESLEY, Lords MARYBOROUGH and COWLEY. By her Ladyship's death upwards of thirty six families of the Nobility and Gentry will be put into mourning. The portion of the building in which the apartments of the Dowager Marchioness were situated was usually called the west wing; being that on the chapel side, and nearest the town of Hatfield. In this wing was the Marquess's invaluable library, which was repaired and newly arranged only about twelve months ago. It is not yet known in London, for certain, whether any of the books and very rare MSS. which it contained had been saved or not; but there is little hope entertained of their having been got out, as the kitchen and offices, which were very extensive, and situated immediately under the library, have been reduced completely to ruins. The gentleman who had the arrangement of the library, and who happened to be staying at Hatchet's Hotel, has gone down by express to survey the ruins, and to attend the operations of thelabourers, who will be immediately set to work to dig out any books and manuscripts that may be buried therein. The Noble Marquess was left by the messenger who brought this sad intelligence to town, in a state of mind bordering on distraction, and several of the Noble Lord's friends have gone down to Hatfield to render all the assistance in their power on the melancholy occa- sion. His Lordship had written to London only yesterday, saying that he should be in town to- day, and everything was in readiness for his reception when the sad intelligence arrived. It is said that this part of the mansion contained more valuable property than the whole of the building besides; the loss must there- fore be very considerable. The fire was subdued before midnight, but the ruins continued smoking up to this morning. said he had trustworthy servants at home, or he would take me at once, but if I should like a situation as guard to a mail he would try to get it for me, and asked my age, saying I was just the- proper size for it. Charles Hook then called me aside, and said —' If we get you a good situation will you hide away and not come back to vote,' I then answered that I could give no reply, as they knew I was for Mr. Estcourt. Hook then desired me to see him again in the evening, and let him know further about it. I went accordingly, and told him 1 should think no more about it. Mr. Paul Methnen, junior, of Corsham House, also called on me at Chippenham, and left his card to solicit my vote for Captain Dundas, and a long note, saying he should be under infinite obligations to me if I would vote for Dundas; or if I would not vote for him, that by remaining neuter altogether I should confer a great favour on the parties; which said note and card 1 delivered over to the Committee of Mr. Estcourt. And I make this solemn declaration, conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act ofthe sixth year of the reign of King William IV., chapter 62. " WILLIAM HARDING. " Declared and taken at Devizes this 12th day of November, 1835, before me, « j. w. JAMES." The second instance is one perfectly will authenticated, and of general notoriety :— " A few days since Lord KERRY ( the son of the Marquess cf LANSDOWNE, the Lord Lieutenant of the county, and President of his MAJESTY'S Council), called on Mr. HAYWOOD, the Governor of the Bridewell here, and who had signed the requisition to Mr. ESTCOURT, which was known to his Lordship. Lord KERRY, how- ever, asked him to vote for Captain DUNDAS. Mr. HAYWOOD replied that not only had he promised Mr. ESTCOURT, buthe had signed the requisition to that gentleman. Lord KERRY then said " You had better not vote for Mr. ESTCOURT, because you know my father and myself are very powerful, and have great influence."' What Lord KERRY said is perfectly true; he and his far- ther have great influence ; but the young Lord and the old Lord should recollect that they owe that Ministerial influence to a power which they never would have possessed, if they had not imposed upon the PEOPLE by a Reform Bill, the main princi- ple of which professes to be the destruction of that influence and the overthrow of that power, as regards the election of Members to the House of Commons. However, Lord LANSJ- DOWNE having now become, with the rest of his colleagues, the mere creatures of O'CONNELL, he must refuse nothing that he is ordered to do, be it ever so O'CONNELLISH. Upon this last statement the Whig newspapers have pro- duced some particularly comical observations. The Courier says:— There is not even the very slightest foundation for the statement, which has appeared in the Times, that the Earl of KERRY had said ' to the Governor of the Bridewell at Devizes, " You had better not vote for Mr. ESTCOURT, because you know my father and myself are very powerful, and have great influence." Hre are authorised to state that the story is a mere fabrication. And then comes the Globe:— We find the following in the Devizes Gazette, which reached us this morning ; it comes opportunely to dissipate the falsehoods set afloat about the Earl of KERRY, Lord LANSDOWNE'S eldest son. And last of all comes this letter which so completely sub- stantiates the Ministerial denials. It is from the Governor of the Bridewell himself:— " DEVIZES, NOV. 26.— Sir, having observed in the Times of yester- day the following statement:—' A few days since Lord Kerry, the son ofthe Marquis of Lansdown, the Lord Lieutenant of the county, and who last week took the oaths as President of the Council, called on Mr. Haywood, the Governor of the Bridewell here, and who had signed the requisition to Mr. Estcourt, which was known to his Lordship; Lord Kerry, however, asked him to vote for Captain Dundas, Mr. Haywood replied, that not only had he promised Mr. Estcourt, but he had signed the requisition to that Gentleman. Lord Kerry then said, " Yon had better not vote for Mr. Estconrt, because you know my father and myself are very powerful, and have great influence." '— I take the earliest opportu- nity, at the request of the parties, of stating that the above statement is incorrect, WITH THE EXCEPTION OP THE FACT THAT LORD KERRY CALLED UPON ME TO ASK ME TO VOTE FOR CAPTAIN DUNDAS J AND SAID, ' WE ARE THE STRONGEST PARTY, AND LIKELY TO CONTINUE SO; YOU HAD BETTER GO WITH US.' " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, THOMAS HAYWOOD." That is to say, that, instead of Lord KERRY telling Mr. HAYWOOD he had better not vote for Mr. ESTCOURT, he- told him he had better vote for Captain DUNDAS ; because WE are the strongest party, and likely to continue so, YOU HAD BETTER GO WITH us. How far this dissipates the false- hood we cannot guess, unless it does so, to throw a stronger light upon the. disgraceful truth. The Ministerial newspapers are shamefully imposed upon by their patrons. WE have to announce the triumphant result of Conservatism at Devizes, where Mr. ESTCOURT has been returned by a majority of 12 over Captain DUNDAS, the numbers being— For ESTCOURT 157 DUNDAS 145 The majority appears perhaps small— but it should be recol- lected that Mr. LOCKE, the late candidate, polled 216 votes, and that, upon the present occasion, every effort was made in order to support the Radical candidate. In characterising these efforts, we shall trust to nothing less than a sworn affidavit, which we subjoin, and which ex- hibits conduct, which, if not so premeditately repugnant to the professed principles of our precious Ministry as the elabo- rated efforts of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his forty- acre free- holders, are enough to place in a tolerably strong light the purity by which Whig- Radicalism endeavours to work out the advantages of their Reform Bill:— " I, William Harding, of Devizes and of Chippenham, in the county of Wilts, veterinary surgeon, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows, that is to say:— On the 3d day of November inst., between four and five o'clock in the afternoon, Captain Dnndas, Captain Taylor, and Mr. Charles Hook came to me at the Bear coach- office. Mr. Charles Hook ( who I had before told that my vote was promised to Mr. Estcourt) said to Captain Dundas that I was a voter, in the business of a farrier, but my trade did not answer very well, and I wanted to get a situation.

We hear that Sir ROBERT will be unable to accept this most flattering invitation— he will not, however, fail to appre- ciate it. THE universal philanthropist, O'CONNELL, has addressed the following letter to the Editor of the Pilot, in which, under the pretence of vindicating the Jews, he commences a new career of abuse and vituperation. It is necessaiy, in order to record the progress of this, incendiary, to afford space for all his letters:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE PILOT. Darrynane Abbey, 13th Nov., 1S35. MY DEAR BARRETT,— I read with considerable pain the heading of articles in your papers of Monday and Wednesday: they relate to Raphael, and are headed, " THE LYING JEW." AS to the lying, you are certainly entitled to apply that epithet to him: his whole publi- cation, as far as it is his composition, is " one living lie"— whether he makes a direct assertion, or more basely insinuates a calumny. Upon this point I have done with and abandon him to your tender mercy. But that which I complain of is your calling him a JEW. He is not and never was by profession a JEW. I have always under- stood that his father was an Armenian merchant— an ancient Chris- tian— and one who made a large fortune with a perfectly unstained character. It is, however, the mode in which you use the word JEW that I ob- ject to. You plainly use it as a term of reproach— as a derogatory description— as undervaluing him— just as if you had to call him a selfish or false person, or some other humiliating name. You intend by calling him a Jew to suggest the idea of vileness or- infamv. Such, clearly, is the sense in which you use the word. Now, 1 solemnly protest against such abuse of the word ; it is most unjust to make the name JEW a reproach or a degradation. The Jews should always be spoken of by you and every other well- thinking man with respect— not unmixed, to be sure, with pity for their errors of belief, but always with respect. This taunting use of the word Jew is, alter all, only part, ya fading November 29. JOHN BULL." 381 emnant I trust and believe, of the more atrocious persecution of the Jews in former days. It is true that we Christians no longer draw their teeth with pincers to extort money from them, nor yet do we \ re hang or burn to terrify them into hypocrisy ; but our degrading phrases contain in them a bitterness of infliction which is felt ex- actly in the proportion in which the Jew has been elevated in the social state. The educated gentlemen amongst the Jews of the present day feel the cruelty of this contemptuous persecution almost as much as their ancestors suffered from the barbarity of ruder times. We should never forget that the Jews were a great nation— that they were mighty in the awful manifestations of Providence in their behalf. We should remember that our ever adorable Redeemer was, according to his mortal flesh, by birth a Jew. His pure and holy mother—" whom all generations shall call BLESSED"— was a Jewess. Ought we not then, if we he Christians— Protestants or Catholics— to desist from the persecution of contumely, since we have abandoned the persecution of pain. It is true that the Jewish nation has fallen, and that her people are scattered over the face of the earth ; but they should be to the thinking Christian only the means of bringing to his recollection the exact fulfilment of those prophecies which the Jews disregard, but which confirm the belief of the Christian ; and these recollections should all of them tend to raise thoughts of pity and of charity. In the dispensations of Providence which have scattered the J ewish nation abroad, there is nothing to justify the odious use of degrading or derogatory language. What justification can there be for imput- ing the depravity of Raphael to the Jews ? Why, he has been suc- ceeded in the office of Sheriff of London by a Jew, Mr. Salomons. I have the honour to know that gentleman, and I would pledge my existence that the wealth of London would not tempt him to imitate the conduct of Raphael! What a contrast between the Christian Raphael and the JewSalomons !— and I assure you that nothing could be more unjust than to apply the religion of the one as a term of re- proach to the other. I cannot tell you how strongly 1 feel this injustice; it is part of the tnost pleasing portion of my life, that I have become acquainted with several families of the Jews in London— amiable, educated, excellent people. There is a young gentleman amongst them, who, I believe, is called to the bar, and who has written several pamphlets, full of learning and talent, on the question of the civil emancipation of the British jews. His name is Goldsmid. Do not be alarmed— he is not the Moses, or Mosey, who has lately figured under the name of Goldsmid at a public meeting. This Moses— the sordid " puddle- in- a- storm" of some obscure quarter sessions— has only " filched" the name of Goldsmid, with as little of right as he would have to " filch" anything else that was not too hot or too heavy for him to carry. I am sure you will take the friendly advice I offer in good part; and that you will in future refrain from the inadvertance of using terms of reproach which imply a calumny on persons not deserving that infliction. It is just thus that the words " Jesuit" and " Jesu- itical" are used for purposes of vituperation; although every philo- sophic mind recognises the truth that the Jesuits were, and 1 trust will long continue to be, amongst the greatest benefactors to litera- ture and religion that the world ever produced. I have, however, another object in writing this publishable letter to you. It is to express my deep regret at beholding the apathy of the Reformers of Ireland— men attached to the present Irish govern- ment, from principle. The friends of Reform, and of the present Ministry in England, have exerted themselves, and exerted them- selves effectually in that country. The Reformers of Scotland, as is the practice of the Scotch people, have been up and doing. With these examples before them, why do not the Irish Reformers be- think themselves of doing something to secure the stability of the present Administration, and to enable them to effectuate peaceably, but vigorously, the salutary alterations— the necessary ameliorations in our institutions. Why do not that portion of the Irish Whigs, who vere not Repealers, and are not Radicals, now come forward and Hake some demonstration of life and activity ? The Whig Reformers in England have established a Reform Association to attend to the Jegistrations, and the establishment has had the most beneficial, the aappiest effects. A Reform Association is still more wanting in Ireland than it was in England. The Orange faction are on the alert— that treasonable confederacy is ever active, ever vigilant. There are no means too base— there is no depravity too atrocious for the myrmidons of that illegal society— many of its members are in " high places," with power and authority. Never was there a more relentless persecu- tion than that which they are carrying on against their tenantry. Indeed it requires to be an Orangeman in order to have sufficient cruelty to perpetrate such savage and barbarous iniquity. Again, there is the truculent Recorder, active, energetic, perse- vering— his only chance of being placed on the superior bench of jus- tice depending on the return of the Tories to power— what a fatal < ky that would be for Ireland and the empire at large. But there he if^ working for that object with all the advantage ot the secret ma- ciinery of Orangeism. Again, our Judges, almost to a man, were chosen from amongst the decided, if not the entire partisans of Toryism. We are bound to give tlem credit for the best of all possible motives, and for the purest of al imaginable intentions— be it so— and then see how terrifically for dible is the decision of Chief Baron Joy on the subject of the regis- tution of freemen, and then reflect on that amusing decision of larou Pennefatlier, which let in a class of voters, designated by the ctgnomen of" Baron Pennefather's bucks." Alas ! for this wretched ctuntry, when a class of illegal voters take their denomination from aJudge of the land. Let us also look at their list of Sheriffs for the ensuing year. Really, my Lords, the Judges, are most profoundly excellent men— but liable to moral frailty and human error. Again, let us recollect that the assistant- barristers were— at least tie great and overwhelming majority of them— were selected in the most rampant period of Toryism— ot Orange Toryism. They are, it will be admitted, liable to error, but there never was a greater error than giving the power of registration to them. It is curious to ob- serve, that the Tory assistant- barristers never fall into the mistake of ruling doubtful points in favour of the franchise. We have all heard, with utter astonishment, of the " lodger" point, on which Mr. Mart- ley disfranchised so many electors. It was merely a mistake— an error of judgment. The brother- in- law of Blackburne made the mis- take, and that it was mere mistake, we must, to be sure, concede. But we are entitled to say, that it was the most outrageous mistake committed since the days of " Baron Pennefather's bucks." In plain truth, " Baron Pennefather's bucks" and " Martley'slodgers" should be placed in the same category of errors. Why do I dwell upon these things ? Simply to rouse the Irish Whig Reformers to the necessary exertions. There are many amongst the Presbyterians of the North who are Reformers, not Repealers— and whose legitimate apology for not joining in any agitation was, that we were for " Repeal,' and they were not. But they have now no excuse | we Repealers are now giving the experi- ment of whether the united Parliament can or not procure good government for Ireland— a full and fair trial. Have we not a right to call on every honest irishman who differs with us as to the Repeal — have we not, I say, a rightito call upon every such irishman to exert himself in order to strengthen the hands " of the present Ad- ministration— the first that ever was disposed to do entire justice to the Irish people ? Let me, then, through your columns, call upon and exhort, and entreat, most earnestly entreat, every class of Irish Reformers to combine at once, and to form a " Reform Society," on the precise model, for Ireland, of that already existing in " England. It only wants a beginning. If any three or four zealous Reformers will begin, and resolve to persevere, they will soon afterwards be joined by thousands of those who are so constituted as never to commence the work, but will gladly aid when once the " Reform Society" is in actual operation. It only wants a beginning. I know it only wants a beginning; and I am authority on a point of this kind. All the nobility and gentry who adhere to the Whig Administration would speedily join such a society. It is foolish to wait until you are able to announce a completely formed important body. The object will give it import- ance naturally; and, when once set in motion, it will accumulate abundant strength and resources in its progress. Much, I know, can be done in Ulster. The North is capable of being redeemed to a considerable extent. There may be five additional Reformers re- turned for that province. The South could be protected; and the midland counties secured. I repeat, it wants only a man of nerve and moral courage to lay the foundation of the " Reform Society" for Ireland. I may be asked, why then do not I myself commence ? and I an- swer— simply because I wish that there should be no ground for jealousy— no pretext for secession. I am on principle a Repealer, al- tliough'I have considered tlie Repeal as means for an end; that end which I am now looking for by other means; but, as a Repealer, some Reformers may object to me. I am also decidedly a Radical; and some Reformers may object to me on that account. Again, the dogs of calumny incessantly bark at me, and some Reformers may quail before the energy of my calumniators. For all these reasons, I prefer to have the organisation of the Irish Reform Society originate with some other person than me. There are amongst the Irish Whig nobility, those who ought to begin ; there are amongst the Whigs at the " Irish bar those who ought to begin. But the thing shall be done. Should it be ascertained that no one else will begin, why then it falls upon me, and I am too anxious to give to the present anti- Repeal experiment its fullest development not to determine, that if no person more fit than myself undertakes it, I CERTAINLY WILL. I prefer— I infinitely prefer that it should be done by others. But the society must be formed, else the representation of Ireland will be cankered by Tory corruption and rottenness. I cannot conclude without asking you as a personal favour, to print once again the atrocious petition which the Knight of Kerry and his satellites presented to Parliament at the close of the session, and to give the list of the names affixed to it. It is right that the Catholic ishop and Clergy of this diocese should know, and I myself have a right to know, the name of every man that asserted such gross false- hoods against us. Pray print the entire petition once again. Believe me to be yours very faithfully, DANIEL O'CONNELL. By way of addenda, we subjoin the following extracts from the Times and other papers :— O'CONNELL TO RAPHAEL. O'CONNELT TO CARLOW. " June 18. " November 10. " I enclose yon the ballot of this " My opinion, from the moment morning. Nothing can be better, the Committee teas struck, was, " Ever yours faithfully." that it was hopeless to contest the Herehewanted toget thesecond matter further." 1,0001. from his poor dupe. Here he wanted to get several thousand pounds " rint" from his yet greater dupes. Now, ye members of Brookes's ! deceived and fallen Whigs of Eng- land, " look on this and this," and say ye, who is the " mighty great liar?" Several of the English Journals have had the following:— The collection of the O'CONNELL Tribute was commenced on Sun- day week. This year, Dr. M URRAY, and other Catholic Bishops who refused to countenance the last rent,- have sent handsome contribu- tions to it. It is expected that the amount will exceed 20,0001. Here are a few specimens of the relative proportions collected. Dublin, 2,0001.— last year it was 1,1501.; Newry, 1001.; Carrickmacros, 501.— last year it was 38L; Clonmel, 1751.— last year it was 1281.; Belfast, 197— nearly double the amount of last year; Enniscorthy, 1401.; Tullamore, 601.; Waterford, 4701.— last year 2441.; Limerick, 2751. Upon this, tile Warder observes:— It is falsely asserted, in order to bolster the falling reputation of O'CONNELL, that the Tribute on Sunday last was considerably more than on former occasions— believe it not, men of Ireland and of Eng- land— it was considerably less. There were many parishes through- out Ireland where no collection was made in consequence of the people setting themselves against the tax of cupidity and delusion. For some more extended observations of the Warder upon Mr. O'CONNELL'S proceedings, we refer our readers to another part of to- day's paper. WE find, with some surprise, the following article in the Courier, with respect to the rumoured re- appointment of Lord NUGENT to the High Commissiouership of the Ionian Islands. We so cordially and sincerely join in this just eulogium be- stowed upon Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, that, although we do a little violence to our feelings by inserting its attacks upon Lord NUGENT, as they cannot be separated, we necessarily give them as we find them. " We have, hitherto, purposely abstained from alluding to state- ments which have from time to time appeared in the journals, obvi- ously intended to prepare the public mind for a change in the Admi- nistration of the Ionian Islands, and most especially for the reinstate- ment of Lord NUGENT as Lord High Commissioner. " Considerations of an exceedingly delicate nature induced us, although possessed of ample details, to be silent while we believed that little credit was given to vague, and evidently unauthorised, re- presentations, however industriously circulated. And we would still gladly be spared from engaging in a disagreeable discussion, which we hope, in Lord NUQENT'S present position, out of office, and likelj to remain so, may be unnecessary. But if manceuvres are conti- nued, and statements repeated in newspapers or books of travels, by misjudging friends, it will become our duty to disabuse the public by affording them authentic information derived from our own peculiar sources. " Very recently anonymous communications applauding the Go- vernment of Lord N UGENT in the Ionian Islands, disparaging that of Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, and recommending the re- instateinent of Lord NUGENT as an act of simple justice, have frequently been seen in the columns of a liberal journal, deservedly of the greatest weight in this country, and have, we believe, occasioned con- siderable alarm to those connected commercially or by inter- course and relation with the population of those islands. That alarm has been greatly increased by a notification which made its appearance a few days ago in the Morning Chronicle, and which was copied into some other journals, but not into the Courier, ' that the recal of Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS is deferred for the present.' The objections to Lord NUGENT'S Government being not only of a public but of a private nature, those alone who are connected with the Ionian Islands, and who know the pre- cise nature of those objections, can form any idea of the feelings with which any intimation of Lord NUGENT'S probable restoration to power would be received in the islands, or by those in this country interested in their prosperity and security, and in the welfare and comfort of the people. " We have, therefore, in order to relieve the natural anxiety of the public, and of those more immediately concerned, made diligent inquiry, and are satisfied that there is no intention in any quarter to recal Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS, and that there is no intention in any quarter to re- appoint Lord NUGENT. " Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS is a Tory, but he is an honourable and amiable man, and a valuable member of society, utterly incapable of any act reflecting disgrace on the British name and character. He was selected for the Government during the late short Ad- ministration of Sir ROBERT PEEL, in consequence of the arrange- ment recommended by a/ Parliamentary Committee, that the offices of Lord H igh Commissioner and Commander of the Forces should with a view to economy, be united. Sir GEORGE BERKE- LEY has accordingly more lately been sent out merely as a Colonel on the Staff, and second in military command. Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS had left this country to assume the Government previous to the restoration of Lord MELBOURNE'S Administration, and as Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE expressly admitted in the debate on Lord HEYTESBURY'S recal that his Lordship would not have been recalled had he been on his way to India when the change of Government occurred in this country, it is clear that Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS will not be recalled without cause. Sure we are that he never will be re- called to make way for Lord NUGENT. We have the best grounds for believing that representations respecting Lord NUGENT'S Govern- ment were sent to the Secretary of State, and remain recorded in the Colonial Office, which, even if the Administration had not been changed in November last, must have led to serious investigation, with every probability of the Noble Lord's recal. " We are morally certain that no Administration in this country, whether Whig, Radical, or Tory will venture, in defiance of public opinion, to replace Lord NUGENT in the Government of the Ionian Islands, when experience has so fully proved his total unfitness for such a charge, or to appoint his Lordship to the Government of Ceylon, for which he is said to be a candidate, or to any similar situation. We regret to have to say this much, for Lord NUGENT has, we are not ignorant, made great sacrifices to his party; but we must not see the national dignity abroad and the best interests of the public compromised for party purposes." ~ A~ P A R A L I EL .~ Among the early recollections of our boyhood, one of the most vivid and powerful is that of a bold, bull- necked, large- faced beggar, by name SAM HORSEY, sometimes called " Billy Bovvldish," who, if we recollect right, enjoyed the title of " KING OP THE BEGGARS," and who died a few years ago. The fellow ( had he been less of a rogue, we would have said, the poor fellow) had no legs; but by dint of a low sledge, curved beneath like the base of a child's rocking- horse, and a pair of short, thick crutches, which he plied with wonderful effect, he got on, when he chose it, at the rate of a good four miles an hour. This has nothing to do with the story, further than to enable such of our readers as may be something past thirty, and have lived in London in their younger days, to call to'mind this notable monarch of mendicants. We fancy we see him now, settled in gloomy state against some shop- door in Holborn, near Middle- row, with his red- brown brawny physiognomy, which by some folks was called honest; and, indeed, was not altogether otherwise while you approached him, and he was looking for alms (" rint" if you please). But, show yourself of no use to the man— pass him, especially as if you knew him, and his character, which, the police would tell you, was exceedingly bad; then turn round for another view— what a look would lie give you, full of execration and contemptuous malediction, wishing you all the bad luck that can be had in this wide, unlucky world— a wish, not the pleasantest imaginable, even when proffered by a disappointed beggar. Before you had passed, his mild but cunning eye appeared to say, " My dear Sir, I am your very faithful humble servant;" afterwards it evidently implied, " You are the most incomprehensible of all imaginable vagabonds !" The truth is, SAM wore two faces— one, bright and promising, when he had a point to gain— the other lurid and appalling, like the sun in a fog, as soon as lie saw it would not do. Those who traced him home, declared that the money got in his vocation, some of which he wrung from poor people who could little afford it, was spent in impudent jollity; that there was, moreover, a nest of co- beggars, a kind of tail, over which he reigned with absolute sway, and that he even domi- neered and swaggered among the constables— the ministers of justice, whom bv terror and agitation he managed to keep too much under his thumb. It is not for us to draw parallels. Our readers may draw one, if they like : or perhaps they will ask, li Is not SAM HORSEY alive again ?" THE canvass for Northamptonshire is bringing into view sundry very striking proofs of the re- action which has long been increasing in power, but which the infatuated and con- tinued devotion of Ministers to Mr. O'CONNELL, after the declaration he has made, and the treasons he has uttered against the Church and Constitution, has most naturally accelerated. Mr. HANBURY, a Whig gentleman, proposing to offer him- self in the room of the late Lord MILTON, upon the same priuciples, and with the same politics, writes to Sir GEORGE ROBINSON, who proposed Lord MILTON at the last election, in order to obtain, with what appeared to him an unquestion- able certainty of success, his support on the present occa- sion. The correspondence, and its consequences, are curious. Thus runs Mr. HANBURY'S epistle:— " Northampton, Nov. 15, 1835. " My dear Sir,— I take the earliest opportunity of infor. ning yon that at the request of many of the leading electors, I have come for- ward as a candidate for the representation of the northern division of this county. You arewell acquainted with the political principles which I have always professed, and to which I am still strongly attached. I therefore request the favour of your influence aud sup- port on the present occasion.— I am, dear Sir, very sincerely yours, " WM. HANBURY. " To Sir George Robinson, Bart." To which Sir GEORGE ROBINSON thus replies:—• " Cranford, Nov. 16, 1835. " Dear Hanbury,— The following passage occurs in Mr. O'Con- nell's speech at Glasgow, in September last: — "' It is said we Radicals make a sacrifice in supporting the Whigs- no such thing ! The Whigs now are no more those of four years ago, than the old clothes of four years' service, are now the dandy ward- robe of the fashionable gentleman.' " With this opinion I heartily concur, and, therefore, when in your application for my support you state that your political principles are the same which you have professed in times past, I should naturally suppose that you do not approve of the present Administration, who, as it appears to me, have the violence without the honesty of pro- fessed Radicals. As, however, you start as a candidate in opposition to MAUNSELL, I am obliged to conclude that you, like many others, approve ofthe present disgraceful coalition with O'CONNELL, and that in order to keep Lord MELBOURNE in power, you would sacrifice the Church of England and Ireland to appease the insatiate appetite of Irish Papists and English Dissenters. There can be no doubt on my mind fit at such is the policy of our self- styled Whig Governmentwhen we see Lord Mulgrave entertaining the Agitator at his table, imme- diately on his return from Scotland, where, in the most treasonable language, he had been denouncing the privileges and very existence of tlie House of Peers. Under these circumstances, I am not only obliged, as a Conservative Whig of the old school, to refuse you my support, but 1 must plainly tell you that 1 shall most cordially rejoice- in your being defeated.— I am, yours truly, " GEORGE S. ROBINSON. " To Wm. Hanbury, Esq." In order that this conscientious refusal of aid might not be lost upon the electors, Sir GEORGE ROBINSON transmits this brief and convincing correspondence for publication to tbe Northampton Herald. If this exhibits to view the real feeling of Conservative Whiggery, we think our readers will say that the two follow- ing paragraphs, extracted from the Morning Chronicle of two following days, will equally suffice to proclaim either the ignorance or wilful misrepresentations of the Radical Popish Ministerial Press:— FROM THE MORNING CHRONICLE OF THE 24TH OF NOVEMBER, TUESDAY. " There is not a word of truth in the statement respecting Sir GEORGE ROBINSON, as far as respects the Sir GEORGE ROBINSON, so conveniently cited as a laudable example of political apostacy. The present Six GEORGE ROBINSON is not the individual thus cited. The Sir GEORGE ROBINSON, uncle of the present Baronet, who was many years a Representative for Northamptonshire, and who proposed Lord MILTON, died last year, and to the day of his death was a staunch supporter of the Whigs, and of Liberal principles. The present Sir GEORGE ROBINSON, his nephew, is a parson, who teas always con- sidered a sham Liberal, and as a person wearing a political disguise during his uncle's lifetime for substantial reasons. The Real Simon Pure of the Northamptonshire Conservatives cannot influence half a dozen votes; while his uncle possessed not only extensive personal influence, but the weight of invariable consistency and integrity as a public character. So much for the Reverend Sir GEORGE ROBINSON, whose backsliding will have no local effect in his county." So much for that. FROM THE MORNING CHRONICLE OF THE 25TH OF NOVEMBER, WEDNESDAY. " IVe were in error in a leading article of yesterday, when we stated that the present Reverend Sir GEORGE ROBINSON was not the pro- poser of Lord FITZWILLIAM for the county of Northampton in 1832. The then Reverend GEORGE ROBINSON was the proposer ofthe Aoble Earl. The uncle, Sir GEORGE ROBINSON, was, it is true, then alive j but it is only fair to state that his estates were entailed on the nephew, so that motives of subserviency can hardly, with justice, be ascribed to the latter. But the nephew never was the Representative ofthe county, nor considered ' a genuine Whig;' nor ought he, by the omission of his clerical title, to be confounded with his late uncle, Sir GEORGE ROBINSON, or derive ony weight from his political reputa- tion. The Reverend Gentleman's denunciation of ' the insatiable appetites of Irish Papists and English Dissenters' does not smack much of the' genuine,' whatever it may do of the apostate < Whig.' " In the first of the ministerial statements we find this:— Sir GEORGE ROBINSON is not the individual who proposed Lord 882 JOHN BULL. November 29, MILTON— lie was always considered a sham Liberal, wearing a political disguise, in " order to curry favour with his uncle, upon whose fortune he had au eye, tie. & c. In the second, we find thatthis. sham Liberal was the individual who proposed Earl MILTON ( Lord MILTON not being au Earl), and that, so far from being a sham patriot, in order to cajole his uncle into leaving him his property, his uncle's property was en- tailed upon him ; and that, although Lord MILTON and his illustrious family thought proper to select the then Mr. RO- BINSON to propose that nobleman, " he ought not now to derive any weight from his uncle's political reputa- tion." This sounds strange— because, we repeat, the Ilouse of FITZWILLIAM selected him to present and propose its scion to the electors of the county. But the mystery is unravelled— the final blow is struck— the coup de grace is given to the present Sir GEORGE ROBINSON, who then was the patron of the young candidate, because " he never was the representative of the county." That makes all the difference between him aud his uncle, and between himself MOW, and what he was at the last election. How he should have been the representative of the county, being a Clergyman, the sagacious oracle of the O'CONNELL and MELBOURNE Ministry omits to inform us. THE accounts from Jamaica inform us that the elections of the new Parliament there have all gone against the Govern- ment, although the Colonial KERRYS have been particularly active. Mr. BARRETT, one of the great objects of Guberna- torial hatred, had been triumphantly returned, but the subse- quent tumults are precisely what were to be expected when the Administration and the Radicals unite. Lord SLIGO has been separating his private property from the public furniture in the King's House, and causing it to be removed to his own villa at Highgate, which looks omi- nous, as people there think. His Excellency has been turning out various functionaries over whom, the colonial papers say, his Excellency has no personal authority. The following correspondence is one of the additional proofs of the way of doing business in the black Chancery:— MR. THORNHILL'S CASE. Saint Dorothy, August 25,1835. Dear Sir,— You will perceive by the annexed copy of a letter from the Registrar in Chancery, that I am commanded by his Excellency the Chancellor to remove you from the management of Rock River and Knock Patrick Plantations. I regret the step I am called upon to enforce, the more because I am ignorant of the facts connected with the inquiry which has induced his Excellency to consider you unfit for the situation I so urgently requested you to* retain. Our mutual friend, Mr. Gordon, has recommended to me a Mr. Grierson, to whom I write, and shall enclose a letter to you, au- thorizing him to take charge of the properties in question, and I shall feel obliged if you will assist him with any information respecting the apprentices and plantations so long under your control. I am, dear Sir, yours respectfully, To Mr. Richard Thornhill. " STEPHEN HANNAFORD. ( copy.) Chancery Office, June 25, 1835. Sir,— I am desired by his Excellency the Chancellor to acquaint you that some matters which have come to his knowledge, induce him to think that Mr. Thornhill, the overseer of Rock River, in St. Mary's, is an improper person to have the charge of an estate in receivership under the Court of Chancery, and to request that you will therefore immediately discharge him. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient Servant, ( Signed) JOHN MACKGLASHEN. Directed to S. Hannaford, Esq. N. B. This letter, although dated the 25th June, bears the post mark of the 25th July, and came to hand the day following. S. H. My Lord,— The notice your Lordship has favoured me with will, I trust, be sufficient apology for addressing you. Last week I re- ceived a letter from Mr. Hannaford, the Receiver of Rock River, stating he had your Lordship's orders to dismiss me from the charge of that property, but that he was totally ignorant of the cause. I cannot imagine that a nobleman of your Lordship's exalted rank can have any dubious motive for such a proceeding ; but 1 beg to assure your Lordship that, independent of any pecuniary loss, my feelings have been deeply wounded by such an undeserved mark of your Lordship's displeasure. 1 have had the management of that property for ten years, during which period my employers have considered my services beneficial to it and creditable to myself. On Mr. Forsyth's losing the Receiver- ship, it was my intention to resign also, and at that time had more than one comfortable situation offered to me ( which have since been filled up), but the very pressing manner in which Mr. Hannaford requested me to remain, and the value he appeared to put on my services when he visited the property, induced me to decline the otters made, and accede to his wishes. How natural is it, then, for me to feel deeply aggrieved at such a sudden dismissal without any charge made against me, or the slightest opportunity given of clear- ing up whatever may appear objectionable in my character. Although an humble individual, my Lord, I have earned a cha- racter which I am anxious to maintain, and which, I cannot help saying, has been, in this instance, cruelly trifled with. An anxiety to meet inquiry is my motive in addressing your Lordship; and I trust I am as deserving of your Lordship's protection as any other of his Majesty's subjects. I feel confident your Lordship will not allow me to suffer from the indirect imputations cast on me by such an abrupt dismissal, coming from so high an authority. I am, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient servant, R. THORNHILL. To his Excellency the Most Noble the Marquess of Sligo, & c. & c. No. 5473. The King's House, Sept. 7,1835. Sir,— I am directed by his Excellency the Chancellor to state, that he does not think it necessary for him to give reasons for any decision he may come to in that character. He does not consider you fit for the service of his Court, and therefore directed that yon should not be continued in it. He desires me to add, that he does so from a sense of his public duty, and by no means from any private feeling towards yourself. Richd. Thornhill, Es^. W. G. NUNES, Sec. Upon this proceeding the Kingston Chronicle says :— If a Receiver conducts himself improperly in that character, it is not the duty of the Chancellor to ferret it out. His office as a Judge distinctly forbids it, for were he to do so, he would be both com- plainant and judge at the same time. The proper course of pro- ceeding is for the parties aggrieved to come forward before the Court by petition, and then after both parties have been heard by Counsel and affidavit it becomes the duty of the Chancellor to remove a Receiver who may have acted improperly ; but that is a very dif- ferent thing from writing a letter to a Receiver, ordering him to dis- miss an overseer without hearing a syllable in his behalf. One is the due exercise of the functions of the law; the other is arbitrary and tyrannical. It might be a very good ground of complaint against a Receiver that he persisted in employing as overseer ra any property, a person who by his injudicious management was doing injury to the property; but then the remedy can only be properly employed in the way we have described. But in this case it appears that his Lordsliip had not even this negative justification for his con- duct, for we perceive by Mr. HANNAFORD'S letter that Mr. ' 1' HORNHILL'S conduct had been such as to induce the former gen- tleman to express regret at his dismissal. There consequently could be no just causefor the removal of Mr. THORNHILL from a situation he had held for upwards of ten years, and it can only be ascribed to caprice, which is shocking in a Judge acting in his judicial capacity. Mr. NUNES, who is the Governor's Secretary, and whose name witnesses all these affairs, has just been appointed, in addition to other offices, a Commissioner of Stamps, the duties of which be is by act of Parliament incompetent yet to fulfil, being still a minor. THE language of the Warder, when speaking of Mr. O'CONNELL, his friends, and his proceedings, seems so much better adapted to the purpose of a controversy with such a man, that we continue our selections from that paper touching the great Agitator's career. Last Saturday it says :— The Warder has its usual characteristics of variety and interest enriched this day by two letters from that honest advocate of the Roman Catholics of Ireland, ENEAS MACDONNELL, Esq., who would have practical good conferred on his countrymen, not increase their ills by mischievous agitation, and who would gladly confer that good without seeking " the most imaginably vagabond" remuneration of a " begging box;" by a letter to the Electors of the County Carlow, from the swindled Mr. RAPHAEL; a second able article on the sub- ject of the House of Lords, from the Leeds Mercury ; an admirable letter from the Rev. R. J. M'GHEE, to Mr. O'CONNELL; and a report of the meeting at Chester, in support of the plundered and persecuted established Clergy of Ireland. Of these, the odious, cor- rupt, and illegal traffic of the political swindler in the representa- tion of Carlow, has not lost its claim to precedency of notice. If it be not continually denounced by the virtue of the country, and ulti- mately punished by Parliament, the elective franchise is a mockery, the Reform of Parliament is a mockery and a fraud, and the liberties of this great empire are in progress to their extinction. Mr. RAPHAEL, in the short letter which appears in our Supplement, very properly, as the matter relates to himself, declines further notice of O'CONNELL'S blackguard personalities, but we, as affecting the public interests, are under no obligation to cease, for a single publi- cation, from showing up the rascally conduct of the political jobber, and pointing at him " the finger of honest scorn." Although we briefly noticed in our last O'CONNELL'S letter under date of the 10th instant, and stated, in general terms, its inanity and evasion, we feel it our duty to return to it. In the first paragraph, he assumes a tone of conscious innocence and rectitude, which mingles the ridiculous with the disgusting :— " While I was waiting for that permission from Mr. Vigors, which I was certain I should receive, to publish the entire of the transac- tions between ex- Sheriff Raphael and us, I amused myself with thinking of the various shapes in which the enemies of civil and re- ligious freedom— who are, blessed be God ! mv enemies, and ever shall be so— will distort Raphael's composition for the purpose of ca- lumniating me." Poor injured man! There were no variety of shapes, there was but one. O'CONNELL received 2,0001. from' RAPHAEL, on certain conditions and guarantee; he put the money in his pocket, and the conditions and guarantee were disregarded." " 1 should, therefore, pass ex- Sheriff Raphael and his commenta- tors over without a reply, but that I owe it to that estimable gentle- man, Mr. Vigors, and to you, to give such a detail of the facts as will at one demonstrate to the satisfaction of every just and impartial person, that the lucubrations of Raphael prove nothing but the mer- cenary and mean malignity of a disappointed miser." Oh! but they do— they prove that RAPHAEL was cheated, and O'CONNELL the cheat. RAPHAEL'S lucubrations have been placed in broad day- light before the world, and not one word that he has said has been at all replied to— not one charge disproved. What is the detail that is to carry the promised demonstration with it ? Oh! reader, scan it well, and if you can deduce the shadow of a shade of vindication out of it, we shall no longer hold as visionary the secret of the philosopher's stone, a distillation of moon- beams, or the elixir vita1 which the imagination of GODWIN bestowed upon St. LEON. You'll find it difficult to understand that detail— we shall assist your comprehension. First— There was an election for the ccrunty Carlow in January last, when the former Popish candidates relinquished the honour of representation— what, we ask, had Mr. RAPHAEL or his money to do with that ? Second— Two unexpected candidates— Bethershin!— were started, our eldest hope, MAURISH, one of them. What had Mr. RAPHAEL or his money to do with that ? Third— BRUEN and KAVANAGH were returned. What had RA- PHAEL or his money to do with that ? Fourth—" 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." What had Mr. RAPHAEL or his money to do with that? Time will tell. Fifth— A petition against the election ensued— it ran to great length — VIGORS, it is said ( by O'CONNELL, mind,) paid the piper. What had Mr. RAPHAEL or his money to do with that ? We shall tell you by and by. Sixth—" 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."— What was that to Mr. RAPHAEL, or why shouldit affect his pocket ? You shall know by and by— Roguery has a prospective vision. Seventh— This item merely tells us that an accession of four Con- servative votes in the House of Commons could be badly afforded by the Reform party. This was nothing to RAPHAEL or his money, but it was muclfrto the wholesome interests of the country. Here is the whole of the detail, in the course of items, which was to afford the promised demonstration, but a little more was to follow, and what was that little? Why, it was this— a new elec- tion was to take place ; VIGORS wished to stand, or O'CONNELL willed that he should stand as a joint of his tail. VIGORS was sick of expenditure, and between them they cast about for a dupe, O'CONNELL says, " who would share with Mr. VIGORS in the expense?" Hah! hah! hah! _ RAPHAEL found to his cost that the pair of rascals had a refuge in human credulity. O'CON- NELL " talked with RAPHAEL on the subject of the then vacancy for the county Carlow"— Mr. VIGORS thought fit to play " least in sight," and left negotiation wholly with O'CONNELL, knowing that he would, if necessary, swear as hard an oath for him as he did on taking his seat in Parliament, and would hold its religious or moral obligation equally cheap. Well, what follows ? " I settled," says this prince of scoundrels, " 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 two thousand, it must be of his own free- will and perfect choice." Never was there a stronger illustration of the adage, that " liars should have long memories." How could O'CONNELL SO soon have forgotten the terms of his own proposition? RAPHAEL ( SO says O'CONNELL'S OW » letter to him) was to pay 1,0001., on being nomi- nated, and 1,0001. more on being returned, which aggregate sum of 2,0001. was to hold him, Mr. RAPHAEI, clear of all expenses of every kind, including those attending a petition against the return: mark, reader, the termination of the passage—" If he paid one shilling be- yond the 2,0001., it must be of his own free will and perfect choice." If such were the case, one should imagine that having exceeded the contract ( 2,0001.) Mr. RAPHAEL would have chosen his own agents; but this proof of " free- will" and perfect choice was denied to him; O'CONNELL employed the agent all through, and, to Mr. RAPHAEL, far beyond the expenditure of the 2,0001. VIGORS shared in the probable winning, but not in the losing game— RAPHAEL had no free choice, but RAPHAEL " paid the piper." There never was a fouler transaction! Besides the particulars of the detail, which we trust we have re- futed seriatim, there were assertions— mere assertions, without any attempt at proof, which mo3t impudently assumed the reputation of facts. Such as that " he, O'CONNELL, had not the slightest pecu- niary interest in the 2,0001.;" " that he paid the sum to the person for whose use it was deposited, Mr. VIGORS, and that he has vouchers for every penny of the money." Where are they? perhaps they are manufacturing. What proof is afforded of this? Not a scintilla. Mr. RAPHAEL'S statement stands perfectly unimpeached; and O'CONNELL'S letter is a master- piece specimen of the art of evasion, and the mystification of truths by the mingled confusion of bold assertions and assumed facts. There is one most important fact which the political swindler al- ways studiously keeps out of sight, and we pray our readers to pay particular attention to it. O'CONNELL, in negociation for the sale of the electors of the county Carlow, made an appointment with Mr. RAPHAEL, which he did not keep ; a fair presumption is, that at the time be was trying to make a bettermarket elsewhere. With whom : may be asked.— What, if with Lord JOHN RUSSELL! His little Lord- ship was, at that very time, on the shaughrawn, as we say in Ire- land, for a seat in Parliament. Ah! the Cabinet Minister— please Heaven we shall have all this dark business brought to light— Lord JOHN, Lord MORPETH, or Mr. SPRING RICE. Onr readers will re- collect that O'CONNELL boasts an old acquaintance, previous to mi nisterial rank, with the Cabinet Minister who made him acquainted with the " police report," which contained the extra official intelli- gence of an election poll— but it will all come out in spite of all the powers of lying and of the Father of Lies. It is not " easy to quit this subject, however obvious the falsehoods by which O'CONNELL seeks to bolster his own character and deceive the public. He talks of having expended the money to the objects for which it was given, but he advances not a single item of that expen- diture on an authority receivable by any man of business. He has drawn bills, bnt he does not say on whom. Tired as we may well be of so filthy a subject, we will not quit it until we smother the rascal in his own dirt. Since we commenced writing the above, another letter has ap- peared in the Pilot from O'CONNELL, on the subject we are observing upon. It is a tissue of deceit and hypocrisy, but still an instrument ot that interested and rabble gullibility which has hitherto filled his coffers. The chief burden of this letter'is, the formation of a " Reform Association." New means to cover old objects— money ! money! money! is the thing. Base, crawling, sordid reptile ! Repeal is worn out, and now, after we have had reform with a vengeance, a " Reform Association" is to be got up! We wonder that the name, stinking as it does in the nostrils of all honest and sensible men, did not deter the Agitator from using it. But his senses and his fortunes are deserting him— he is stranding upon the shoals of his exhausted knavery and deception. We have much more to say, but reserve it to a future occasion ; but we cannot resist closing our remarks for the present with a quotation from our old and steady ally, the St. James's Chronicle. " The Dublin Evening Post comes valiantly in with a boast that it received 301. for advertisements for Messrs. O'CON NELL and RAPHAEL. [ Our contemporary, the Evening Packet, has ascertained that there were only two insertions of the address ill the Post.] We admit that the payment was liberal, indeed extravagant, when the small circu- lation and smaller influence of the Evening Post are considered. But it is absurd to command an inference from this bribe to the Government journal, that any number of other journals were paid in the same ratio. If others were, we call again for the accounts. The illegality of the proceeding has been so well treated by the Times, that we shall not venture upon that ground. If, therefore, we revert to Mr. O'CONNELL'S indirect con- fession, that part of the RAPHAEL spoil was to go to reimburse the expenses of a former election, at which Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL had been a candidate, and that another part was to be expended in establishing an election interest in the country, for the future benefit, doubtless, of theO'CoNNELLs— if we advert to these things, it is not to point to their illegality, though atrociously illegal the projects are, and such as must cause Mr. O'CONNELL to be expelled from Parlia- ment— if we advert to these points it is merely to show Mr. O'CON- NELL'S own acknowledgment that the expenses of the election could not amount in any thing like the sum extorted by him from Mr. RAPHAEL. A concluding word as to the present direction of Mr. O'CONNELL'S historical studies— Wefindthathe is deep in the intrigues O/ RENUNCINI and the actors in the massacre of 1641. We shall have something to say upon the subject hereafter." We regret to announce the death of his Grace the Duke of BEAU- FORT, which took place on Monday evening at his seat, Badminton, in Gloucestershire. His Grace was in his 69th year, having been bom in December, 1766; he succeeded to the title in 1803. Heis succeeded by his eldest son, the Marquess of WORCESTER, Member for Glouces- tershire ( West), who is in his44th year. The present Duke's eldest son ( late Earl of GLAMORGAN ) is in his 12th year. The late Duke was a Knight of the Garter, Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum of the counties of Gloucester, Monmouth, and Brecon, Constable of St. Briaval's Castle, and Warden of the Forest of Dean; the vacancies caused in which by his death are in the gift of the Ministry. The elevation of the Marquess of WORCESTER to the Dukedom will, of course, create a vacancy in the representation of West Gloucester. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM has been suffering from a somewhtt severe attack of the gout, accompanied by a violent cold, but h: s Grace is now, we are happy to say, nearly convalescent, and able » take his daily drive at Stowe. The last rite of sepulture, a melancholy duty under any circum- stances, but doubly so where the brave and honoured require it at our hands, was rendered on Tuesday last to all that remained of tie beloved, the deeply- regretted, Lord ROBERT MANNERS. The bodf had been placed in a leaden coffin, with an outer one of mahoganj, covered with the richest geranium- coloured velvet. The handles and general appointments were of a very chaste and beautiful chs- racter, executed in burnished and mulled gold. On the breast- plaie was engraved the following inscription:— The Most Honourable ROBERT WILLIAM MANNERS, Third son of Charles, fourth Duke of Rutland, Born Dec. 14,1781; died 15th Nov., 1835. It was placed in the centre of the Gothic Guard Chamber, or Ih- trance Hall, elevated on tressels, and covered with a superb pallof velvet. At about half- past eleven the funeral cortege, having been previously marshalled, passed from beneath the grand portal of the Castle in nearly the following order, as a deep- toned bell sent foith its dolorous tones Two domestics in long mourning cloaks, with partisans.

The procession, as We- have described it, moved at a slow and solemn pace down the declivity which leads to the private approach to the mausoleum, situated about mid- way on the opposite height. This, and the one by which the carriages made their egress, is never laid open but on occasion of the interment of a member of the Rut- land family. As the melancholy train approached the sombre aventie of venerable and overshadowing yews, which leads directly to the mausoleum, the great western gates of that structure were thrown open and revealed at the end of the vista the imposing monument consecrated to the memory of Elizabeth, Duchess of Rutland, in whose honour the edifice itself was erected. The scene at this juncture was impressive and affecting in a more than ordinary de- gree. On the one hand was a spectacle to remind us of the common fate of mortality, whilst the ascending figure of the Duchess, sur- rounded by an angelic choir, and effulgently illuminated with azure and violet- coloured rays, from invisible lights, had an almost super- human effect, and recalled to recollection that beautiful passage of sa- cred writ:—" For if by man came death by man came also the resur- rection of the dead." The marble floor of the cemetery had been covered with black cloth, as was a temporary reading desk, a por- tion of the walls, and the seats of the chief mourners. The sub- lime service of the dead was given by tlie Rev, Mr. THORNTON, November 29. JOHN BULL." 521 with powerful effect. The coffin had been placed at the eastern end of the structure on a moveable platform, worked with invisible machinery, by which it was gradually lowered into the crypt beneath, and afterwards deposited in one of the stone catacombs of the silent chamber of the dead. At the conclusion of the ceremony, which seemed to command the Sorrowing attention of the principal persons engaged therein, as well as the deep sympathy of the general spectators, the procession returned to the Castle in the same order as that which had been observed on quitting its precincts, and a very short time elapsed before the assembled multitude dispersed to their homes. DEATH OF MR. JAMES HOGG, " THE ETTRICK SHEPHERD."— It is • with the deepest regret we announce, on the authority of a private letter, dated from Altrive Lake, and posted to a relative in this county, the death of by far the most remarkable man that ever wore professionally a shepherd's plaid. This sad event, in which every son of genius and reader of taste, in broad Scotland, and far beyond its bounds, must feel a melancholy interest, occurred at bis resi- dence, on the banks of the Yarrow, on Saturday last, the 21st cur- rent, at the hour of noon. For some weeks previous he had been confined to his bed by a severe attack of bilious fever, which latterly assumed the form of jaundice— both, in all probability, originating in exposure to cold, or some latent affection of the liver. During the fever he suffered great prostration of strength, and for a week or more his friends and medical attendants had begun to fear> the worst, particularly after the accession of jaundice. And their fears, we regret to say, have been realised; for it is but too true that one of the sweetest poets that ever framed a lay, and by far the first man of his class, with the single exception of ROBERT BURNS, will, on Friday first, follow to the grave his illustrious friend Sir WALTER SCOTT, at the distance of little more than three years. We believe they were born in the same year, and that Mr. HOGG, had he survived till the 25th January next, would have reached the age of 59or 60. Hundreds of pens will, ofcourse. be employed in sketching the character of the Bard of Altrive Lake ; and though few, perhaps, knew him better than ourselves, we dare not intrude farther until the last solemn duties have been paid to his memory. The funeral has been fixed for Friday the 27th inst., and his remains will be attended to a cemetery ( Ettrick churchyard) closely adjoining the cottage in which he was born, by a crowd of mourners such as has rarely been witnessed in the pastoral valleys of the Ettrick and Yarrow. The letter to which we have alludted states distinctly that the death of one who did so much to illustrate the district in which he resided, has excited feelings of so vivid a nature, that the entire population may be described as one extended family of mourners.— Dumfries Courier. The City article of the Standard on Friday says :—" In the railway shares little is doing, and some of them exhibit a somewhat melan- choly aspect." We are glad to hear that there is a pause before the fools and their money are parted. The Whig- Radical O'CONNELL MELBOURNIANS got up a falsehood on Thursday, of aggravated baseness and malignity— they reported the suddendeath of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, whom they knew to be perfectly well in health. Sir FRANCIS HEAD is appointed Governor of Upper Canada— this is really being the Head of a Colony. Sir JOHN WALSHAM succeeds Sir FRANCIS as Poor Law Commis- sioner. We are very glad of it; but it so happens we never by any accident heard of the worthy Baronet's name before. JOHN WESLEY preached, on the 4th of May, 1788, in the parish church of Bradford, upon which occasion he stated his conviction that the millenium reign of our SAVIOUR would be in the year .1836. Lord BROUGHAM, evidently afraid of defeat, has withdrawn his name as a candidate for the Presidency of the Tooley- street Literary and Philosophical Institution. The exemplary Bishop of CHICHESTER has at length found out the propriety of giving up the Preachership of Lincoln's- Inn, which he has up to the last week kept, because the possession of the rooms attached to the office saved his Lordship the expense of lodging in London. " The Government organ of the Irish press exhibits the worst pas- sions to the promotion of the worst purposes of any instrnment of faction published in my memory, and I am an old man. The leaden dullness of its advocacy is alone seasoned by a malignity which seems so con amore in its exercise, as to impart a voluntary complexion to . that which is earned by the wages of corruption; whether an apos- tate Christian or an Infidel, the editor appears to me to have Nature's patent for being a bad man, fitted for bad work, and worthy to serve the bad men who employ him"— Yes, this son of the Father of Lies labours to the proofs of his legitimacy, by vilifying the good, lauding the bad, and publishing, day after day, the grossest falsehoods and calumnies, not alone of a political character, but as affecting individuals. Lord MULGRAVE has recklessly boasted of Irish tranquillity.— He cries, " Peace, peace, where there is no peace," and his hireling Scribe asserts, and would swear as well as assert, that itis so. He has the audacity to charge the Conservative Press of Ireland of fabricating outrages committed by the Popish instruments of dirty Graball, and attacks the Standard for copying them. This reptile has also of late commenced, with more system than heretofore, spurting his foul venom against the Protestant population of Ireland, attributing to them every disorderly occurrence, even to the savouring of rebellion! This is the only miserable set- off against the actual disorders and murders which his paymasters permit to go unpunished, because shielded by that Jack Cade powerunder which themselves retain their places. The following is a nice specimen of the dexterity of manufactur- ing the falsehoods and ealumnies of which we complain; and of the admirable candour and promptitude of self- correction. On the 14th inst. the following paragraph appeared in the lying Chronicle " ORANGE OUTRAGE IN CAVAN. " Evening Post Office, half- past Three. " We have just received a communication from Cavan. At this hour we can only announce that there has been a serious onslaught of the Orangemen— that two Catholics have been killed, and several per- sons wounded." (/ 11) - This infamous calumny— we have the fellow's own evidence to its falsehood— was suffered for five days to go the rounds of the Ministe- rial and Radical Press, without a line of contradiction, until, on the 19th, the following appeared, and with the impress of a reluctant as well as tardy respect for truth:— " CAVAN.— We are happy to find that there is no confirmation of the statement noticed by us on Saturday, of a riot and bloodshed in this county, at least to the extent stated.'" A t a meeting i if the syndicate appointed to report on the conformity of Mr. Basevi's design with the instructions, the following report was agreed to:— That, having conferred with Mr. Basevi, andhaving referred to all the instructions given to architects respecting plans for the Fitzwilliam Museum, they are of opinion that Mr. Basevi's design is in conformity with those instructions. The Master nnd Fellows of Sidney Sussex college have given notice that, in the week after the admission of the Commencing'Bachelors, 1836, there will he an examination open to candidates from any college in the University, for a Mathematical Exhibitioner on Mr. Taylor's foundation.— The Exhibitioner will be elected from those Undergraduates who. in the ordinary course, would become Com- mencing Bachelors of Arts in January 1838.— The Exhibitioner is to receive at least 501. per annum, and to have furnished rooms in col- lege rent free; if elected from another college he will be required to remove to Sidney on his election.— The examination will be confined to Mathematics only.— Those Undergraduates who intend to offer themselves as candidates are required to send in their names and testimonials with a certificate of the terms they have kept, to the- Master of Sidney Sussex college, on or before the last day of the present term. DURHAM UNIVERSITY.— Messrs. R. Robinson, J. H. Sutton, B. Dwarris, J. Gibson, and C. Carr, have been admitted Students of the Foundation. Mr. M. Thompson has been admitted a Barriugton Scholar. Legge, James Macdonald, Lord Allen, Lady Molyneaux, Lady i University, has appointed J. Hil lyard, Esq., M. A., of St. John's Dashwood, Count D'Orsay, Lord de Ros, Sir John Walsh, Mr. I college, aird- Recorder of Leicester, to the office of Commissary of T. Duncombe, and B. Massey Stanley, Mr. Buckstone's Dream thls University, vacant by the resignation of Sir F. Pollock. at Sea has been completely successful. As we last week announced, Mr. CHARLES MATHEWS makes his first appearance on a public stage, at the rival Widow's Olympic, during the week. We understand that his success as an amateur has been very considerable, and that thft line of character he adopts is that which was formerly acted by the late Mr. LEWIS, of admira- ble memory. The success of Drury Lane is something wonderful; there has been more money taken during the last week than ever before has been taken in the present Theatre. This influx of wealth and patronage, if it does not produce peace and plenty, will at least make " a bunn dance" in old Drury. Covent Garden— as per last. In the Court of King's Bench, on Tuesday, Sir W. FOLLETT, on behalf of Mr. FAIRMAN, obtained a rule to show cause why a crimi- nal information should not be filed against Mr. JOSEPH HAYWOOD, for the letter lately written by him to Lord KENYON, accusing Mr. FAIRMAN of treasonable practices. The Duke of WELLINGTON reviewed theYeomanry of Strathfieldsaye on Tuesday. His Grace's reception was enthusiastically cordial. The intended review of the Hants Yeomanry by his Grace will, it is now said, be postponed till the spring. Letters have been received from Capt. TYLER, R. N., Lieutenant- Govenor of St. Vincent's, whose death was stated to have taken place some weeks back. He was in good health. The office of Inspector of Accounts in the Royal Household, Lord Chamberlain's department, has become vacant by the death of HERBERT BROWELL, Esq., of the Stable- yard. The speech of the Queen Regent of SPAIN, at the opening of the Cortes on the 16th, which arrived in town on Tuesday, appears to have disappointed the expectations of the Spanish bondholders,— for although the document is sufficiently prolix upon subjects of minor interest to them, it offers no very confident assurance, on the part of her MAJESTY, that she may be able to maintain the public credit, and carry on the affairs of her Government, without having recourse to another foreign loan; nor does M. MENDIZABAL dwell upon this very material point as he does upon many others. So little favourable, in fact, was the impression produced by the composition upon the minds of the stockholders, that the Spanish Bonds left off at the close of the Market on Tuesday at a depreciation of full 1 per cent. A paragraph has gone the round of the newspapers, which states that " the appointment of principal Inspector- General of the Army Medical department, which recently became vacant by the demise of Sir W. FRANKLIN, is understood to be abolished." Now, the facts of the case are these :—" Sir. W. FRANKLIN had retired from his office previously to his decease, which, so far from being recent, took place nearly two years since. So much for Whig claims to economy and retrenchment.— Post. The Royal Family will, it is said, take up their residence in Buck ingham Palace immediately after their return from Brighton. ECCL ESL- 1S TIC A L INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS, APPOINTMENTS, & c.

Hammer's History of the Turkish Empire, in 9 vols. 4to., has been presented to the University Library by R. Carr, Esq. This library, considering the short time that has elapsed since its foundation, has, we are happy to observe, assumed some importance ; assisted as it has been by many very valuable and extensive presents of books. Among other donors, many gentlemen who received their education at the Durham Grammar School, and particularly some who had the benefit of the original foundation, have been liberal contributors. Were their example ( so highly honourable to their feelings) generally followed, we have little doubt that ere long the library of the Uni- versity of Durham would be found to vie with the ijrst literary collections in the kingdom.— Durham Advertiser. MISCELLANEOUS. Three Independent Chapels in Surrey— viz., that of the Rev. Dr. STYLES, of North Brixton; of the Rev. ROBERT TAYLOR HUNT, of Kennington; and of the Rev. FRANCIS MOORE, at Vauxhall, have within the last few months ceased to belong to that denomination, and now belong to the Establishment. The half yearly examination of the children in the Central School of the National Society, for the education of the poor, took place at the Society's premises" in the Sanctuarv, Westminster, on Thursday. The Bishop of LONDON and Sir JOHN NICHOLL occupied the chair in succession, and many of the families in the neighbourhood of the schools attended. The children performed in a very creditable man- ner, and even the youngest classes show that they <$ uld render an intelligent account of the subjects which they read. The knowledge of sacred geography, and the progress in arithmetic ot the elder' scholars, excited much admiration; and the intelligent account which they gave of facts and doctrines recorded in the Scriptures, and their immediate connection with and bearing upon the Liturgy and services of the Church, were highly gratifying to all present. A correspondent of the Herald states that a requisition, signed by upwards of one hundred of the most respectable rate- payers of St. George the Martyr, Southwark, was presented a few days since, for the calling of a " vestry meeting, with a view of submitting such measures ( for the paying ofthe salaries of the pew openers andother persons engaged in the subordinate duties of the Church) as might be deemed expedient for the consideration of the rate- payers. Un- fortunately two out of the three Churchwardens are Radicals. Mr ANDERSON and Mr. DENT refused to call the meeting! Itis highly probable that the Church clock will again stop, ana other serious inconveniences connected with the Church will inevitably arise. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER has given notice in bis charge, just published, that he " shall refuse to license any Curate who has been obtruded on a parish without his Lordship's knowledge; and shall consider it his duty to institute a process apainst him, if he continues to officiate in the" diocese."— His Lordship, by devoting a tenth of. the revenue of the See to the augmentation of small benefices, has, with the assistance of Queen Anne's Bounty, considerably increased the livings of Horsley, Upton, Cam, Coleford, and Pauntley. Sir GEORGE MUSGRAVE, Bart., has given 201. and Lady MUSGRAVE and the Dowager Lady MUSGRAVE each 151., towards defraying the expenses attendant upon the extensive repairs which Langwathby. Church is undergoing. A /~ ery Liberal DISSENTER.— We understand that it is in contem- plation to erect a Church in Norland, in the parish of Halifax, and that tbe necessary funds will be supplied by voluntary subscriptions.. A gentleman who was applied to, offered to give 1001., on condition that he may be allowed occasionally to supply the pulpit with minis- ters of the Independent, Baptist, or Methodist denomination!— Halifax Express. Thursday se'nnight, a meeting of the Clergy and lay members of the Established Church was held at the Town H all, Manchester, when it was resolved to establish a society for building Churches in that town. The rules for the government of the society were sub- mitted to the meeting and approved, and several gentlemen, well known for their liberality on all occasions, announced their intention of subscribing very munificently to the fnnds of the society. The first stone of a new Church was lately laid at Stval, near Wilmslow, by the Rev. W. BROWNLOW, Rector ofWilmslow", assisted by the Rev. E. STANLEY, of Alderley, and the Rev. C. K. PRESCOTT, of Stockport. The ceremony was witnessed by a large concourse of respectable individuals. The site of the Church has been given by the Earl of STAMFORD and WARRINGTON, and the cost ofthe building is to be defrayed by subscription. The parishioners of All Saints, Southampton, have presented their late Curate, the Rev. JOHN LANGLEY, with a silver tea service and a purse of fifty sovereigns, as an acknowledgment of the exemplary manner in which he discharged the duties ofthe pastoral office whilst resident amongst them. On Sunday last two very powerful discourses were delivered at St. Mary's and St. James's Churches, Bury St. Edmund's, by the Rev. JAMES DEVEREUX HUSTLER, B. D., Rector of Euston and Barnham, in aid of the fund for the building of Schools and Chapels for the emancipated negroes in the West Indies. The collections amounted to 481.17s. lOd. GENEVA.— One hundred and twenty- five Catholics have entered their names in the Church of St. Mary Magdalen, to embrace the Protestant faith, which they will shortly do, four at a time. The venerable Lady LYTTELTON, who has passed so many years of her life at Great Malvern, still continues to manifest upon every occasion connected with its interests and improvements a spirit the most munificent. After having bestowed 401. on the exterior repairs of Malvern Church, 201. to the alterations in the organ gallery, her Ladyship last week made the very handsome donation of 1001. for embellishing the Church- yard. The Visitations of the Archdeacons of Sarum and Wilts are ap- pointed to be held at Devizes, on Monday, the 30th inst.; Marlborough, Tuesday, the 1st.; Swindon, Wednesday, the 2d ; Malmesburv, Thursday, the 3d; Chippenham, Friday, the 4th; Warminster, Wed- nesday, the 9th; Hindon, Thursday, the 10th; and at Sarum, on Tuesday, the 22d days of December next. On Saturday last, the Rev. WILLIAM NASSAU LEGER, one of the Curates of Darlington, was presented with a superb gown and cassock, as a present from some of the ladies who attend the Church. The sum of 231. 4s. Hid., was collected at Ashford Church on Sun- day last, after a sermon on behalf of the Society for Propagating the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The collection at St. Mildred's and All Saints, Canterbury, for the same object, was 16L 8s. 6d. A converted Jew, named GOLSTEIN, was baptised in Charles Church, Plymouth, on Monday last. A meeting is about to be held at Bromsgrove, when the Lord Bishop of ROCHESTER, the Vicar ofthe parish, will take the Chair, for the puroose of endeavouring to raise funds for the building and endow- ment of a Chapel of Ease in that town. . . _ Subscriptions for the Irish Clergy are now going on m Cornwall, Chester, Manchester, Oxford, Cambridge, and several other places. It is expected that a subscription will be immediately commenced in the diocese of Gloucester. Up to Wednesday evening, the diocese of Worcester subscription amounted to 1,5561.7s. The Rev. G. J. H AGGITT, Vicar of Parham and Hacheston, at his late tithe audit, made a deduction of 10 per cent., unsolicited, to the entire satisfection of all his parishioners. 384 JOHN BULL. November 29. STOCK EXCHANGE.— SATURDAY. The Settlement of the Consol Account took place On Wednesday, and was adjusted without any difficulty. 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. To- dav, however, the Market isvery flat, and the quotation for Monev at the close was 91^ 6, and for the Account 91 % Exchequer Bills, as well as India Bonds, have been improving, the former leaving off at 15 17, and the latter at 5 7. 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.. Imperial Brazilian Shares, on which the Dividend is in course of payment, are 30 31. 3 per Cent. Consols, 91% % Ditto for Account, % Omnium, 3 per Cent. Reduced, 90^ 90 per Ct. Reduced, % New 3% per Cent., 100^ 99% Bank Lone Annuities, 16 3- 16 A Bank Stock, 211 Ditto for Account, India Stock, 256 Exchequer Bills, 15 17 India Bonds, 5 7 The Gazette de France gives the following version of the news from the theatre of war in Spain :— " The Christinos, after having evacuated Letella, took to flight on the approach of the Carlists. 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 tjuintos, 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 ofCarlists. 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. In order to insure the friendship of England, we are told in the German papers that he has made the King a present of a fine ship, built at Bombay, called the Liverpool. Easton Hall, the seat of Sir M. J. Cholmeley, Bart., in Lincoln- shire, was discovered on Wednesday last to be on fire ; but, owing to timely assistance, it was extinguished, without further injury than two of the upper apartments being consumed where the fire origi- nated. 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. A brevet promotion in the Indian army, it is' said, has been an- nounced, . but it does not appear whether it is a general one or only confined to field officers. Lieutenant- Colonels Commandant are, in addition, to date their rank as full Colonel from the date of their pro- motions^ to Lieutenant- Colonelcies Commandant.— Indian paper. The Earl of Eglintoun was thrown from his horse last week, whilst hunting in Leicestershire, and has sustained serious injury. It is said his Lordship has fractured his collar- bone. 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 lving 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 aftair. 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. rrio PRIVATE FAMILIES JS. PORTS. Per Doz.

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.
