It ha « in itself a deeree of the longitudinal elas- ticity of KNIGHT'S SPRING PEN- HOLDER, patented with it, and issued before it a year ago, for all other Pens. The number of attempts made to copy and ap- proximate to it, distant as they all are, since the specification was enrolled, proves how important the Makershave deemed the new principle.

The indisputable testimonials given by men of the first talent and experience in the kingdom, as to the perfect reliance that, may be placed upon KYAN'S PRO- CESS of PREPARING TIMBER to resist the effect of DRY ROT and other Decay, are so entirely satisfactory as to require no further remark. The efficacy of the process is sufficiently established by the evidence contained in the Report to the Lords of the Admiralty, and subsequently presented1 to, and printed by, the House of Commons; and likewise by the adoption of it by his Majesty's Government in Portsmouth Dock- yard. EXTRACTS FROM MINUTES OF EVIDENCE Roportod by the CcMiimissioners, appoinioJ ii » tbe Admiralty, « uu pic,^ ® ..**.! House of Commons, July 9, 1835. Sir R. SMYRKE.—" This preparation of Mr. Kyan's resists all rot."—" I cannot rot it," added Sir R. Smyrke. Professor FARADAY.—" These reasons, combined with a close examination of specimens shown him, make him strongly recommend it; and he would bet quite willing, if there were occasion, to trust a good deal of property upon it." Sir JOHN MAY.—" In regard to the canvass, four prepared pieces were not affected with mildew; three unprepared pieces were affected with it, and one of them was quite rotten." By the use of this Process, British American Timber will be rendered equally valuable with timber from the Baltic; and thus the produce of British Colonies will be encouraged in preference to timber of foreign growth. It is found that Timber cut down while in a state of active vegetation, with the leaf growing, becomes, by the application of this Process, immediately fit for use; thusrendering every species of Domestic Timber of the same value and" as avail- able as the best Foreign, for all purposes incidental to Farming and Husbandry ; and. by the use of the most common Woods, economy will be combined with du- rability, and the Agricultural interest will derive incalculable advantages. These facts having been proved in the most satisfactory manner, it is proposed that a Company be formed, under aLicense from the Patentees, the consideration for which has been agreed upon, and the above Gentlemen have been named to carry that object into effect. Applications for Shares to be made, post- paid, to the Secretary, at the Office of the Company, 2, Lime- street- square, Leadenhall- street, London ; where Prospec- tuses may be had, and further particulars obtained.

Ogden, Esq., St. Mildreds- court, Poultry. Some of the arguments adduced in behalf of the formation of the City of Lon- don Truss Society were, the difficulty with which sufferers, in the humble walks of life, could meet the cost of the instruments requisite for their relief; the limited benefit they obtained at our public Hospitals; and, above all, the immense pro- portion of sedentary mechanics who were afflicted with rupture. Similar reasons, together with others scarcely less important, constitute the grounds upon which it has been determined to establish an Institution for the treatment of the Diseases of the Rectum, the distressing character of which com- plaints urgently claims the assistance of all who sympathise with suffering huma- nity. There are, perhaps, few disorders more afflicting and painful, or which are productive of more serious consequences; while at the same time there probably is no branch of Surgery with which the medical public has had less frequent opportunities of becoming acquainted. Hence, it may be feared, that many suf- ferers fall a sacrifice either to the want of timely and sufficient aid, or are com- pelled to seek the assistance of empirical practitioners. The Institution, supported by voluntary contributions, is open for the admission of Female Patients every Tuesday, between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, and for Males every Friday, at the same time.— Subscriptions will be received at tbe Banking Houses of Jones, Llovd, and Co., Lothbury ; Williams, Deacon, and Co., Birchiii- lane; Ransom and Co., Pall- mall East; or at the Charity. Amount already subscribed, jf603 8s. Further Donations and Subscriptions will be thankful!) received. W ON DON, 12th Dec., 1835.— Some of the Policemen ( as was M_ J 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 only on account of the Individual alluded to ( who is happily so constituted as to sustain it well, invariably), but for the sake of others also.— This statement is upon oath, and cannot in any one point be contradicted ; and is published to 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. l J T EVR T TT l and B ft O O K S, eJ » No. 2, Pall Mall, London, LIQUEUR, WISE, and BRANDY MERCHANTS, Beg to announce to the Nobility snd Gentry that, having purchased the entire of Mr. Johnson's interest in their Business, a dissolution of the partnership lately subsisting between them has taken place.

BULWER'S RIENZI.— WO are requested to state that Mr. Bulwer's new work, Rienzi, the Last of the Tribunes, is now ready, and may be had of the publishers, Messrs. Saunders and Otley, Con- duit- street, of their agents in Dublin and Edinburgh, at the libraries, and of the booksellers in town and country. Also that Captain Marryat's new work, Japhet in Search of a Father, will be published on Wednesday next. AGNES DE MANSFELDT.— The expectations of the literary world have been more than realised by the production of this elegant work, though Mr. Grattan had no easy task to rival and even surpass the merits of his previous publications. The impressive manner in which he has narrated this wonderful yet true story, and the ability with which he has supported the various characters that work out its denouement, will strongly remind the reader of Sir Walter Scott, when in his fictions he was most historical. The leading events of this tale must be matter of interest to every English reader. NEW PUBLICATIONS FOB DECEMBER.— 1.

It may be in the recollection of many of our readers that, during the exceedingly severe winter of 1830, when the Fogs were almost suffocating, and Coughs, Asthma, < fcc., prevailed to an alarming extent, we recommended to the notice of the public, that invaluable yet simple remedy, Powell's Balsam of Aniseed, for Coughs, Asthma, & c., which at the time was so highly spoken of by most of the leading Journals, not only in England, but in the United States and the Conti- nent of Europe generally, by means of which, many thousands of valuable lives were saved, and many who otherwise would have car- ried o.. miseraDie existence, were enabled to enjoy a comparative state of bliss. We are informed that Mr.- Powell was presented some time ago by an illustrious Foreign Nobleman, with a splendid dia- mond ring, accompanied with a most flattering letter, as a mark of respect for a remarkable cure of difficulty of breathing, which he had laboured under for ten years, and which was effected by one large bottle. The low price at which it may be obtained, places it within the reach of all classes.— Bell's JVeekly Messenger. See Advertise- ment headed " For Coughs, < fcc., POWELL'S BALSAM OF ANISEED." ' ( ADVERTISEMENT.) TO THE EDITOR OF THE JOHN BULL. ( Copy) London, 7th Dec., 1835. Sir, — In giving our verdict upon the inquest of the body of Sarah Porter, we did not intend that any stigma should attach to Morison's Pills, as the deceased had been for four days prior to her death treated with other medicines, and that our verdict applied generally to the medicines administered.

SIR WALTER SCOTT'S MONUMENT.— A meeting of the Committee was held on Wednesday in Edinburgh, when the report of the Sub- Committee appointed in 1833 to procure designs was read. Of the numerous designs sent in, the Sub- Committee selected two, as entitled to a preference. The one is an Egyptian obelisk 200 feet high, to be built of Craig- leith stone, the shaft rising from an orna- mental base of 44 feet in height, to be placed at the west end of George- street, near the eastern boundary of the Charlotte- square garden. This plan is by Mr. Playfair. The other is a Gothic architectural structure, 85 feet in height, or 100 feet if desired, to be built of Craig- leith stone, rising from a granite base, and compre- hending a colossal statue of Sir Water, also to be placed in Charlotte- square. Mr. Rickman, of Birmingham, is the author of this plan. The estimated expense of the obelisk iso, 5001.; of the Gothic structure, 4,0001., including 5001. for a statue, or 5,0001. if the dimensions are increased to 100 feet, and greater enrichment of ornament introduced in the detail. The Sub- Committee recommended Mr. Rickman's design by a majority of 10 to 5; but the General Committee was more equally divided in opinion, and it was properly urged that much evil might be produced by precipitancy, while no inconve- nience could arise from allowing the members of the General Com- mittee a little time for consideration. It was resolved to postpone the final decision for two or three weeks. We should mention that the sum subscribed for the monument rather exceeds 6,0001.— Scotsman. ELECTION OF ALDERMEN.— In consequence of Sir C. S. Hunter having elected himself to the sinecure Ward of Bridge, consequent upon the resignation of Alderman Ansley, which he was privileged to do as the oldest Member of the Court, a vacancy was declared in Bassishaw Ward Represented by Sir Claudius). For this there were two candidates, Mr. Tegg, the bookseller, of Cheapside, and Mr. James White, merchant, of King- street. The contest terminated by a majority of ten in favour of Mr. White, who was declared duly elected.— Mr. Humphery has been elected Alderman for the Ward of Aldgate, without opposition, in consequence of Mr. Salomons having refused to subscribe the necessary declaration. On Sunday night, about 10 o'clock, a fire broke out in the stack- yard at Melford- place farm, Long Melford, the property of C. Westrop, Esq., in the occupation of Mr. Daniel Mills. The alarm was instantly given, and the Melford and Sudbury engines shortly arrived, and rendered very efficient service. Fortunately it was a calm evening, or the dwelling house and all the out- buildings would probably have fallen a prey to the flames. The property destroyed consisted of two wheat ricks, a barn partly tilled with wheat, two straw stacks, and a clover- seed stack. Nine of her stacks of hay and corn - were preserved through the strenuous exertions of the persons assembled. There is no doubt it was the work of an incendiary. The buildings were insured in the Sukolk Fire- office } the stock in the Norwich Union.— Bury Post. IRISH ADVERTISEMENT.— An Irish doctor advertises in a Dublin paper, that the deaf may hear of him at his house in Liffev- street, where ius blind patients may see him from ten till three. FOREIGN. The Paris papers continue to speculate on theprobability of a war with America. The Moniteur endeavours to show that it rests with the American Congress to determine whether peace shall be main tained. Some of the other papers, however, opposed to the Govern- ment measures, sanctioned by the majority of the Chamber of Deputies, continue to approve oi the course to which France has been led by both Legislature and Executive in regard to this important question; but the genera! opinion is, that after shuffling, blustering, and delaying, the French Government see at last that the American Government is in earnest, and their fear of losing their ships and their commerce makes them now disposed to do what a sense of honour and fair dealing should have made them do long ago— pay a just debt. During the last ten days a great many insurances against all risks of war, as well as of the seas, were effected on vessels bound, not only to America, but to other countries, in Paris. The report of Count Portalis to the Court of Peers in the affair of Fieschi has been published. It is very long and feeble, completely disappointing all the expectations which had been entertained of its great interest. The Government lawyers appear to have done their utmost to connect the crime of Fieschi with some of the oppos- ing political parties, but the attempt has not been successful. The diabolical plot is clearly confined to a few individuals of base character, and low rank, whose motives it is difficult to divine. The Court of Peers passed judgment oil Tuesday oil the ten yiri soners of the . category of Luneville. Of these, one was condemned to transportation for life, another to 20 years' imprisonment, and the others to various terms of imprisonment from ten to three years. The whole of these prisoners had been non- commissioned officers in two regiments quartered at Luneville, and the charge brought against them, and proved, was that of having joined in a conspiracy, the object of which was the overthrow of the existing Government, and the establishment of a republic. The facts elicited at their trial showed that so contemptible a set of conspirators were not likely to have done much harm. The Gazette de France of Wednesday has the following :—" New accounts which reach us relative to the state of Catalonia leave no doubt as to the helplessness of Mina, whose fanatical proclamation is in itself a proof of the state to which he is reduced. He has not more than 2,000 men at his disposition, who cannot keep their ground against the Carlists, who beat them on all points. The departure of Guergue for Arragon has had principally for its object to farour the entire rising of that province, and maintain the communications with Navarre, which the expedition of Ituralde had succeeded in opening by the Lower Arragon. The battle of the Conque of Trernps has turned to the advantage of the Carlists. It was on the 23d Nov. that the attack took place, at La Pobla de Segura. They fought during eight days, and the Christinos who were to the number of 5,000 men, were obliged to abandon Pobla, after having set it on fire, and after having left on the field of battle a great number of dead, amongst whom was a Colonel. The Carlist forces have been aug- mented by three companies of the Foreign Legion! who have been incorporated info the division of Ros d'Eroles. The intercepted letters from the soldiers and officers of that legion, who are stil faithful to the Christinos, presenta lamentable picture of the state of misery and want in which they are, and their desire to quit the Penin- sula. " The only point where the hostilities are serious and bloody, is on the road on which Gnergue proceeds. In Navarre, there are only concentrating movements on the part of the troops. Slight encounters between small detachments of Carlists and of Chnstinos arenot worthy of being mentioned. The news from Onate and from Estella are of the 30th November. It was reported on the frontiers that the Brigadier Castor, with two battalions, took possession of a convoy of gram belonging to the Christinos, and that a portion of this convoy was carried to Onate. By the fFarwick, from Calcutta, we have received a file of the India Gazette. The Government of Allahabad had issued letters of r the proceedings to be adopted en, accused of the murder of instruction to the local agent respectin: for the trial of the Nawab Shumsuddeen, Mr. Fraser. Mr. Colvin had been appointed to conduct the trial, and had, in consequence, proceeded to Delhi, but the day for the trial had not been fixed. It was reported that in the event of his condemnation to the gallows, his followers had resolved to make an effort for his rescue, and, in consequence, the 10th Regiment of Cavalry had been ordered to Delhi during the trial. These papers furnish an account of the causes of the attempt on the life of Major Alves at Jeypore. It appears that on Major Alvo< making his usual visit to the Durbar, the Rajpoot Nobles requested that Jota Ram should be given up to them for trial, according to the forms, A'c., observed by them. This was opposed by the Ranee, and on the Major declaring that it was not practicable to comply with their request of delivering up the ex- Minister, his refusal was attributed to a support of the Ranee, and gave great offence to the Nobles, and led to the attak on the Resident. A report was current at Benares that Jota Ram had been murdered ana the body cut in pieces, put. in a bag, and sent to the British Residency. It was added, that the guard placed over his person, of one Havildar, one Nauk, and twelve Sipais, had been destroyed. A body of troops belonging to the Rajah of LTlwar had made an incursion into the Company's territories, and sacked the village of Achineru, ten kos from Agra. They killed three and wounded five of the people, and carried off considerable property. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.— The intelligence from this settlement is important. Itappears by an official notice, dated the24th September, at Cape Town, that on the 17th of that month his Excellency the Governor concluded treaties of peace with all the Chiefs of all the hostile tribes of Caffres formerly occupying the country between the Keiskamma and the Kaye. These treaties were ratified by the several Chiefs in person. The Chiefs had supplicated for mercy and peace, and expressed great contrition for their offences against the colony— acknowledged the right of the King of England to the country conquered by his arms in the late campaign, and taken pos- session of under the proclamation of the 10th of May last; ttfid prayed to be permitted to become his Majesty's subjects, to live under the colonial laws, and to occupy such lands as his Excellency might think fit to assign to them in the conquered province. The South African Advertiser of the 3d of October explains that the peace has been concluded with the Caffre Chiefs Macomo, Tyali, Kusea, Eno, and Fadani. A treaty at the same time was eoncluaed with Umhala, Tysolo, and Gazelli. Kusia ( son of Gaanga) acted for Suta and her son Sandili, the widow and son of the late Chief Gaika, and Fadani for Bethma. Thus all the Caffre Chiefs residing between the Keiskamma and the Kaye river have personally, or by their repre- sentatives, bound themselves to peace and obedience. It is with regret we have to announce the death of the Right Hon. WILLIAM HUMBLE Lord WARD, Baron of Birmingham, which took place at Himley Hall on Sunday last. His Lordship was in the 55th year of his age, and succeeded to the title in March 1833, on the decease of his second cousin, the late Earl of DUDLEY. He is sue ceeded in his title by his eldest son, the Hon. WILLIAM WARD, who was born March 27, 1817, and is consequently in his 19th year. His Lordship has also left two other children, JULIA SUSANNAH, born July 1,1818, and HUMBLE DUDLEY, born December 20, 1821.— To the present Peer, the late Earl of DUDLEY bequeathed vast estates, the Trustees of which are " Lord HATHERTON and the Bishop of EXETER, who will continue to administer them till the young Peer comes of age. Lord CREWE, who died near Brussels within the last few days, is the sixth Peer whos6 death has been announced within the last month, viz.:— The Duke of Beaufort, the Earl of Charleville, Lord Hartland, Lord Ward, Lord Vernon, and Lord Crewe. The last- named Peer was married to a daughter of G. WALKER HUNGERFORD, Esq., and is succeeded in his title and estates by the Hon. HUNGER- FORO CREWE, now in his 24th year. Lord CREWE was a General in our service since July, 1830, the last promotion. THE GREAT SOLAR ECLIPSE OF 1836.— On the 15th of May the sun will be eclipsed to an unusual visible extent in this country, it being what is termed annular, the sun appearing like a ring; at Greenwich, and to the whole of the south of England, 10 degrees will be eclipsed out of the 12; at three o'clock in the afternoon it will be dark enough to discern many of the stars. His Highness the NAWAB NAZIM BAHADOOR of Bengal is going to send to his Majesty the King of ENGLAND a few very valuable curi- owtjes of the country, c ® the 8th or 10th of November next, under the charge of two of his English Aides- de- Camp. The names of these gentlemen are not yet known, but an order to that effect has been passed in open Durbar by his Highness. The presents, it is said, are to be very rich, handsome, and worthy the acceptance of the great potentate for whom they are intended, and fully manifesting the high sense of respect entertained for the head of the English nation by his Highness the NAWAB.— East Indian Paper. Lord SEGRAVE, it is seriously said, has been appointed Lord Lieutenant of Gloucestershire; and Mr. HANBURY LEIGH, of Ponty- pool, the brother of Mr. HANBURY TRACEY, Member for Tewkes- bury, has been appointed Lord Lieutenant of Monmouthshire. Such is the demandfor tickets for the dinner of the Loyal and Con- stitutional Association, at the Town- hall, Birmingham, on the 17th, that the Committee have been obligecfgreatly to extend their original arrangements. It is expected that between 7 and 800 persons will be present. The Earl of DARTMOUTH presides. It has been generally understood that Mr. HALE would be the Conservative candidate for West Gloucestershire ; but it is now said that Lord EDWARD SOMERSET will come forward. The writ will be ssued on the 23d. Mr. ROTCH'S friends now give out that he will not offer any defence upon his trial, but that the argument, if any, before the Court, will take place on affidavits upon his being called up for judgment. The next anniversary meeting of what is called the British Associ- ation is fixed to take place at Bristol in August next— the Marquess of LANSDOWNE, President. The number of visitors to the Zoological Gardens during the last month was 6,240. Several presents have been announced from his MAJESTY, consisting of living animals from the expedition up the Euphrates, which are now at Pembroke dockyard, and shortly ex- pected in London. The Right Rev. Dr. LINDSAY, Bishop of Kildare, is at present seriously indisposed. The Venerable Prelate has nearly reached his 80th year. Major HANDLEY has been appointed Chairman of the Bourn Board of Guardians under the new Poor Law. Mr. JOHN OSBORN, the Vice- President of the Union, has experienced considerable loss in the destruction of his barns and stacks by incendiarism. An account reached town on Wednesday stating that Earl FERRERS had lost his speech and was quite helpless, and not the slightest hopes were entertained of his Lordship's recovery. By the death of Lieut.- General Lord HARTLAND without issue the Irish barony of Hartland, created 1800, devolves on his only sur- viving brother, the Hon. and Rev. MAURICE MAHON, whose eldest son is married to a daughter of the venerable Bishop of NORWICH. Lord GIFFORD, son of the late Noble Master of the Rolls, who died in 1826, leaving a numerous family, has entered the army as an Ensign, in the 52d or Oxfordshire Light Infantry Regiment, com- manded by Colonel FERGUSSON, C. B. Count MATUSZEWIC has recovered from the fall he received while hunting in the Royal domains at Chantilly, and is now on his journey to Naples. A magnificent set of plate manufactured by BIOT, of Paris, and costing 6,0001. was presented him by the Emperor of RUSSIA, to enable him to support the splendour of his mission. The Earl of WINCHILSEA has given 5001. to the fund for the relief of the Irish Clergy.— Tyne Mercury. The English Clergy who have so liberally contributed to the pious fund for the relief of their distressed Irish brethren, will, perhaps, be pleased to learn the generosity of a fellow labourer of their own. We copy the following from the Wexford Freeman :— " MUNIFICENT SUBSCRIPTION OF A PROTESTANT CLERGYMAN.— An Enniscortliy correspondent conveys to us the gratifying intelli- fence, that on Thursday, an order was received from London, on the- fational Bank, to pay one hundred pounds, the subscription of the Hon. and Reverend Mr. CHOLMONDELEY— to the O'CONNELI. Tribute. This is indeed an example to Ireland, and one that will not be forgotten." Letters from St. Petersburg represent the frost as having again set in with great rigour, and that there remains but little hope of the ships detained at Cronstadt being got out by the channel cut through the ice, as itis accumulating very fast towards the sea. The position of these vessels, the greater part of which are laden with tallow for London, has become very critical; and nothing now is thought of but how to provide for their safety during the winter. Wednesday a special meeting of the proprietors of East India Dock Stock was held at the Dock II ouse, Leadenhall- street, for the pur- pose of increasing the number of Directors, and other affairs. ROBERT SMALL, Esq., took the Chair, and after some routine busi- ness had been disposed of, Thomas Baring, Esq., M. P., John Cryder, Esq., and Abraham George Roberts, Esq., were added to the list of Directors. The marriage contract between the young Queen of PORTUGAL and Prince FERDINAND of SAXE COBURG is stated by the Frankfort Journal to have been signed on the 25th nit.— Amongst the recent murders in Portugal is that of a high Church dignitary. The Norfolk Chronicle says:— The 26th of this month is the day appointed, by Authority, for all the elections of Councillors of cities and boroughs throughout Eng- land and Wales ( London excepted) to take place.— The 26th of December falls this year on the Saturday which immediately follows the anniversary- celebration of that happy morn, when " Peace on earth, and good will toward man" were proclaimed from on lngh.— Surely it would have been better if these municipal elections, renew- ing and exacerbating party local strife and asperity, had been deferred until after the Christmas week.— In most provincial cities and towns a Saturday ( being market- day) is not the most convenient, nor in the depth of winter the most agreeable time for local contests — but this our sage Whig Ministers do not appear for one moment to have considered— their attention being too much engrossed by the " master passion" of their pure and liberal hearts for innovation and change in all the institutions of the country. The statement which last week went the round of the papers respecting the serious illness of the Duke of MONTROSE, has been contradicted by the Marquess GRAHAM, by whom we are informed that his Noble and excellent father is in better health at this moment than he has enjoyed for several months. We regret to have to announce the death of the Hon. CHARLES ROBERT LINDSAY, of the Bengal Civil Service, second son of the late Earl of BALCARRES. He died at Singapore on the 4th of July last. An India paper publishes an extract of a letter from Poonah, dated July 18, stating that a meeting took place on that day between Doctor MALCOTMSON and Captain URQUHART, which proved fatal to the latter, who expired soon after receiving his antagonist's fire. Doctor MALCOLMSON was wounded, but slightly, The precise cause of the misunderstanding was not known. Montreal papers of the 6th ult. state that the House of Assembly had awarded to that disinterested patriot, Mr. ROEBUCK, a salary of 6001. a year, and 5001. to meet contingencies. No trade would seem to be so profitable at present as that of agitation. A Dublin paper says:— A letter reached town this day from an Officer of the British Legion, announcing that the body of Major HARLEY, who had been shot by the Carlists, was discovered. Major HARLEYWRS the Officer who raised a portion of the auxiliary legion in this city.

BATH.— The great Conservative dinner, which for the last six or eight weeks has excited the most unparalleled interest in this city, took place at the Assembly Rooms, on Thursday, and was attended foy upwards of 700 guests, including nearly all the leading gentry of the city, an immense number of the most respectable trading classes, and some of the most influential and opulent gentlemen from the neighbourhood for many miles round. So great was the eagerness to obtain admission to this great and heart- cheering display of loyalty and constitutional principle that more than a thousand tickets might have been disposed of, if there had been sufficient room to accommo- date such a number. In the course of Wednesday the high price of ten guineas was repeatedly offered for a ticket. Sir Edmund Filmer took the chair, supported on the right by Sir Henry Johnson, Bart., and Sir Thomas Dallas; on the left by Sir W. Cockburn, Bart., Major Jolliffe, Colonel Sliaw, General Foster, P. Borthwick, Esq. MiP„ Rev. J. Jolliffe, < fcc. The usual loyal and constitutional toasts • were proposed and drunk with the warmest enthusiasm— several most admirable speeches were delivered, and the meeting did not separate till after midnight. WELLINGBOROUGH.—' The members of the Conservative Association of the northern division of Northamptonshire, celebrated the third anniversary of that institution on Thursday evening at the Hind Hotel, in this town. Upwards of a hundred Gentlemen sat down to dinner, and among them we observed Lord Brudenell, M. P:; the Hon. Mr. Trevor, M. P.; the Hon. Colonel Stopford; William Whitworth, Esq.; the Rev. J. L. Wetherall, the Rev. J. Wetherall, the Rev. W. Saunderson, the Rev. D. Crofts, the Rev. J. Ray, Thomas Phillip Maunsell, Esq. ( candidate for the county) ; W. Maunsell, Esq.; J. York, Esq.; the Rev. J. Routledge; William Puckford, Esq. ; — Brydges, Esq. ; Thomas Marshall, Esq. ; G. L. Baker, Esq. ; C. P. Berkley, Esq.; John George, Esq.; Thomas Wilkins, Esq. ; E. Clive, Esq.; and the Revs. John Ches- lett, John Thomas Ilall.— William Whitmarsh, Esq., in the Chair. " The King" was drunk, with every demonstration of loyalty and attachment; and " The health of her Majesty the Queen," which followed, drew forth the most enthusiastic and rapturous applause.— The healths of " The Princess Victoria and the rest of the Royal Family" were received with acclamation, and the succeeding toast, *' Church and State, and may they never be separated," elicited loud and long- continued cheering.—" The Army and Navy" having been drunk with all customary honours, Colonel Stopford returned thanks on behalf of both services. The army and navy, the Ho- nourable and Gallant Officer observed, had always discharged their duty with loyalty and devotion to their King and country, and he • would undertake to answer for it that during all future'ages both services would be found loyal to the Monarch on the Throne, and true and faithful to the institutions of the country. ( Cheers).— The Chairman next proposed " the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese, coupling them with the Clergy of the United Empire." The Rev. John Wetherall, in returning thanks, said that his heart felt elated at the sound of those cheers which reverberated through the room upon the Chairman proposing the toast. The attacks upon the Church were the most wanton and uncalled for. He had seen a placard, which had been extensively circulated by the friends of Mr. Hanbury, in which the Church was called a mammon- loving Church, and foul to the heart's core with corruption. He hurled back the accusation as foul, unfounded, and calumnious. ( Cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded by strongly recommending Mr. Maunsell's canse to the support of the meeting.— The healths of " Lord Brudenell," " the Duke of Wellington," and " Mr. Maunsell," were- next proposed from the Chair. Mr. Maunsell, in returning thanks said, the promises he had obtained over those of his opponent would ensure aglorious and victorious result. ( Cheers.) Jt was his wish and determination to support and uphold the consti tution in all its purity. He was opposed to a Government supported by the Papists— by the factious, the democratical, and the republican portion of the Irish and English. But while he cherished the insti- tutions of his country, civil aud religions, under which they had so long lived and flourished, he would at all times be most anxious and ready to remove all real abuses. ( Cheers.) Many other toasts were drunk, followed by most excellent speeches, and the meeting did not separate till a late hour. r Thursday morning Mr. Simpson, a solicitor, residing at No. 27, King- street, Portman- square, arose between seven and eight o'clock, at which time he complained of a pain in his head. In about an hour afterwards he again proceeded to his bed- room, where Mrs. S. was still lying, and. falling down on the floor in a fit of apoplexy, almost instantly expired. The deceased was between 50 ana GO. UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, Waterloo- place, Pall- mall, London.— Established by Act of Parliament.

" COLD WE A T HER.— PATENT HOT \ YATE R APPALLA- 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 sreat experience, can safely recommend it as the best mode of Warming and Ventilation. The advantage* possessed by this Apparatus over all other modes of conveying artificial warmth are— 1st, its economv 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 OF ANCHOVIES. Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy- steps, London.

OR Coughs.— PECTORAL ESSENCE of COLTSFOOT.— The herb Coltsfoot has long been distinguished for its excellent properties in the cure of Coughs, and other Pulmonary Complaints; and this Essence has, in the course of a long practice, be* n found the most safe and effectual remedy for Coughs, and all disorders of the lungs. It gently opens the breast, and imme- dietely gives liberty of breathing, without any danger of taking cold, and thus it affords great relief in Asthmatic complaints. It allays the tickling which pro- vokes frequent coughing, cleanses the small glands, relaxes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels. Thus it will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals raw ness and soreness of the chest.— This Pectoral Essence is prepared by James Ryan, Surgeon in Bristol; and sold in Bottles at 2s. 9d. and 3s. 6d. each, by F. Newbery and Sons, 45, St. Paul's Church- yard; J, Sanger, 150, Oxford- street; and in most country towns.— Observe, the name F. Newbery, 45, St. Paul's, is engraved in the Stamp. FOR RECENT and CONSUMPTIVE COUGHS, DIFFI- CULTY of BREATHING, HOARSENESS, WHEEZING, & c.— The LETTUCE LOZENGES, so highly recommended by Professor DUNCAN, sen., of Edinburgh, for allaying irritation in the windpipe, restoring natural respira- tion, promoting expectoration, and abating fever, not only are perfectly safe, but the most efficacious and pleasant remedy that has been discovered. These Lozenges, prepared by directions of Professor Duncan, by Messrs. Reece and Co., are sold with their signatures at the Medical Hall, 170, Piccadilly: and at Sanger's, 150, Oxford- street. CJELWAY'S PREPARED ESSENCE ol SENNA.— The obvious and acknowledged utility of the Infusion Senna as a domestic Purgative renders any further recommendation quite unnecessary: at the same time it must be confessed, that considerable inconvenience attends the form in which it is usually prepared, and if not immediately used, is liable to undergo a chemical change, by . which it not only loses its purgative quality , but acquires that of an opposite tendency, and is inconsequence found to excite violent griping of the bowels-— In this preparation, the Senna is so combined, that the usual inconveni- ence is at once obviated, for it will be found to undergo 110 change whatever by keeping, and require no other preparation for immediate use than simple dilution with cold or warm water, or if preferred tea or coffee may be substituted. The increased use of Senna since the first introduction of the above induces the present Proprietor to. make it more generally known.— Prepared only by Simkin, late Selway, Chemist to his Majesty, 2, New Cavendish- street, Portland- place..

RUPTURES.- The PATENT SELF- ADJUSTING GER- MAN TRl'SS, acting effectually without pressure or any complication, is recommended by the Faculty for the Cure and Relief of Hernia. The first mem- bers of the profession are convinced that pressure is not the merit of a good Truss, but a mechanical Resisting power, whicli cannot be applied to any Truss where straps are used, and that have a pad behind, or where spiral springs and other complications are introduced.

NORTON'S truly valuable CAMOMILE PILLS, for INDI- GESTION", &<•.— 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 Iroin a disor- dered state of the digestive organs; they require no alteration of diet, and their operation will be found so beneficial in reiving tone to the stomach, regulating th » 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, thai 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. Willoughby and Co. ( late B.

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

IFST" A MONDAY . EDITION ( for tlie Country) is published at Three o'clock in the afternoon, containing Vhe Markets and Latest News. JO mm BULL. LONDON, DECEMBER 13. THEIR MAJESTIES continue at Brighton, in excellent health, receiving small dinner parties almost every day. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND has arrived at Hanover. His Royal Highness honoured the Theatre with his presence on Wednesday, the 2d. The whole audience rose and received him with cheers. The orchestra and performers sang " God save the King," in which the house unanimously joined amidst the loudest applause. WE have, in another part of to- day's paper, given our readers copious extracts from a letter addressed by Mr. O'CONNELL to the Editor of the Leeds Times, a perusal of which is necessary in order to ascertain the principle upon which he bases his reform of the House of Lords. Great, however, as is the space which we have sacrificed to the exposure of his absur- dities— from the best authority— we are unable to keep pace with his prolific pen, which runs as fast as his tongue, both joining in a race against his iutellect, and both keeping consi- derably a- head of it. Mr. O'CONNELL, since the dispatch of this epistle, has addressed another to " the Reformers of Ireland," in which he praises the present Ministers to the skies, extols Lord MULGRAVE as a sage, and declares Lord MORPETH to have given universal satisfaction by his " conduct and intel- ligence," and appeals to his friends whether the present aspect of affairs and the present administration of the Irish Govern- ment are not strong indications of a reform, which requires nothing but permanency! to render it perfectly satisfactory, and nearly sufficient for every purpose of good government— reminding his friends, moreover, that the continuance of these blessings depends entirely upon the existence of the present Ministry, who first brought them to Ireland, and with whose removal they will also vanish. This letter seems to us to be more calculated to open the eyes of Mr. O'CONNELL'S dupes than any previous piece of his Tom- foolery. While O'CONNELL was ruling the roast, and feasting in the KING'S Castle of Dublin— after having de- nounced that KING'S brother as " a Liar;" after having li- belled the Lords, menaced the Constitution, and abused, with all his wonted coarseness, everything that is high and honour- able in the land, he directed Lord MULGRAVE to refuse the aid of any force, civil or military, to enforce the exe- cution of civil processes, when necessary. It was a triumph, and he bragged of it; it proved his influence, and exhi- bited the readiness of the Government to succumb to it. What has now happened? O'CONNELL has been excluded the Castle by command— Lord MELBOURNE, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Lord IIOWICK, and Mr. SPRING RICE have spoken their opinions of the course he was pursuing, openly— several of the Ministers have avowed an in- tention, painful as resignation is to Whigs, to quit the Cabinet, unless some check were put to this plebeian domination— and one or two have received a gentle hint, that, if it continued, the opportunity of resigning would not long be left for them. O'CONNELL'S own creatures perceived the change, and some even of those have muttered treason against their leader; and, in the midst of these doubts and apprehensions, the famous refusal of civil and military aid, for the protection of process- servers, has appeared. The moment the letter of Lord MORPETH to Mr. SMITH, containing the promise of aid, appeared, all the O'CONNELL papers commenced their attacks upon the Ministiy, and the bowlings of the spalpeons were loud and strong against that MELBOURNE- MULGRAVE- MORPETH manifesto. " Come out of that, now," says DANIEL O'CONNELL; " be aisy— lave them alone— if they go, what will become of us— what's to happen to the rint, anjl to our sates, and our beef and paraties ?" And so, DANIEL sits down, and writes the biggest puffs he can conjure out of his whirligig brain, in favour of the present Government— making believe to the poor penny- paying dupes that he approves of the course the Government has been compelled, by the pressure of public opinion, and by the good sense and good feeling of a small but influential part of the Cabinet, to adopt. Mr. O'CONNELL knows that the Ministry are divided— he knows that his pranks and impudence are the chief causes of their disagreement; he knows that by any other Minis- try he would not be permitted to play those pranks. He, therefore, is ready to sacrifice all the braggadocio which at tavern dinners or public meetings he blurts and blusters out, and eat up all the rhodomontade nonsense with which he defiles so many quires of foolscap, for the sake of keeping those men in power who have made him what he is, in order to appear on the same terms with them as ever, and by that means induce the rent- payers to support the great creature who boasts himself to be, if not the King of Ireland, at least " Viceroy over him." He did the same thing about the repeal of the Union. He told his dupes that he began his political life by opposing the Union, and he would not close it till it was repealed. He swore to this— headed his letters with the wild Irish cry, " HURRAH, FOR THE REPEAL !" and told his constituents that " lie was sure fie should stand in an Irish Parliament in Collegfir. fir6eBy: flft- a . member, of the Irish legislature. He moreover tola them. " that he looked forward with certainty to the completion of his labours, and that Ireland never could be prosperous or happy without the restoration of its inde- pendent legislature." It was gently hinted to him, by his creatures in the Cabi- net, that this was going rather too fast. What has happened? — From that hour to this, he has never mentioned the word REPEAL— the " wild Irish cry" is hushed— and even his vio- lent philippics against the House of Lords, checked openly by the declarations of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and others of the party, have dwindled into the elaborated absurdity which encumbers our columns to- day. The man is showing himself— and the p'eople of Ireland, as he calls the. Radicals and rebels, will gradually discover all his merits and virtues. He blusters about the Repeal— aban- dons it; his foolish friends object to it— he libels the Lords— finds himself checked— modifies his treason down to twaddle, and winds up the whole of this mountebankism by proclaim- ing to the Reformers of Ireland that there never was, never will be, and never can he a more patriotic or excellent Ministry than that, which has just announced its intention of putting down by force the insurrections anil insubordinations of which he, O'CONNELL himself, lias been the primary cause and instigator. Let the net'tle dangle on your fingers, and be stung— grasp it, it is harmless; and, as GAY says of a fairer flower in its fall— " It rots, stinks, and dies, and is trod under foot." Mr. O'CONNELL is a weed of this sort, and so the Irish people will find out. THE intelligence from what one might suppose the seat of war in Spain, continues much of the same character as that which has for a long time preceded it. The partisans on either side write fanciful accounts of movements which we believe have never taken place. Even facts connected with the " cause," which are occurring in London, are equally mystified and confused. It is said that new recruits are raising on Tower Hill and at other places for the British Legion, and this is contradicted by a report that Colonel EVANS has written home to stop any such proceeding. The Portuguese contingent has only shown itself in small bodies, and has returned to Portugal. The King of SARDINIA, we are told in one paper, is resolved to support Don CARLOS, to whose standard all the inhabitants in the neighbourhood of his head- quarters are flocking— both of which important facts we find with equal confidence con- tradicted in some other journal. The general opinion appears to be, that the present state of the weather prevents any operations of importance 011 either side. In France the solemn mockery of defending FIESCHI is going on with perfect seriousness. The trial is to be a sort of spectacle for that theatrical nation, which requires due time for " getting up." The rumour of war with America serves also to fill up a small space in public conversation— and so does the illness of M. de TALLEYRAND, whose indisposition is ascribed to the effect produced upon him by the death of a friend— perhaps his being himself 81 years old may have something to do with it. WE need only refer our readers to the reports in all the newspapers of the splendidly and numerously attended Con servative meetings which have been held, and are holding all over the kingdom, to convince them of the real state of public feeling at the present moment. It is to be seen in the per- sons of those who for the first time now come forward, to sup- port the country against the weakness and wickedness of the Radical portion of the Cabinet— it is to be heard in the avowals of principles purely constitutional, and in the retractation of doctrines which the speakers at those meetings have formerly held, but which experience and a sense of the perils to which the country is exposed by a time- serving, place- loving Go- vernment, have justly taught them to discard. Look, too, to the popular feeling elicited in the contested elections for counties, w hicli are free as air, and in boroughs, where the old interest which overlaid them formerly still exists in all its pristine vigour. The Ministerial candidates, backed by Cabinet Ministers and Presidents of the Council, aided by all the artillery of threats and promises, are singu- larly defeated. The prospect is most cheering; because the change has been gradual, and, as we have already said, based upon conviction, and a knowledge of the unworthiness of Whiggery, and the hollowness of its professions. Add to this the exposures which have been made of the profligate corruption of the leading purest Reformers, wherever trickery, falsehood, and peijury could be brought into play to defeat the provisions of the destructive measure originated In' them- selves; and who can wonder that Englishmen refuse to be any longer the dupes of a faction which, when in power, first flattered them for their " sweet voices," having gained which, and secured their own places, they kicked them off with dis- dain, rejected their petitions, convicted their most active partisans, and were the cause of shedding more of the PEO- PLE'S blood than their predecessors had shed for a quarter of a century before. Who can wonder, after these trials, that the country is rousing itself to a sense of the duty which it owes itself and its MONARCH, in rallying round what the worst enemies it ever had has left of our once GLORIOUS CONSTITUTION. THE munificent subscriptions from all parts of the country for the relief of the distressed Clergy of Ireland, afford such strong and striking evidence of the predominant feeling, as regards the state to which the Irish Clergy have been reduced by the present Government, that the Ministerial papers have been ordered to misrepresent the benevolence which the mis- fortunes and sufferings of a large body of pious and exemplary ministers of the Protestant Church has called into activity, into a demonstration of political hostility against the Adminis- tration. That this is absolute misrepresentation, and wilful misre- presentation, nobody of common sense can doubt. It is most true that the evils, which the generous and charitable contri- butors to this most laudable subscription are endeavouring to assuage, have their origin in the faults and follies of the Ministry, and in so far the very necessity for the subscription is of itself a practical condemnation of their measures; but the motives of those who have come forward are pure and un- mixed. It seems strange policy on the part of the Cabinet, to wish it to be supposed that there is anything like political opposi- tion to them, in the active and spirited liberality of the bene- volent and humane contributors upon the present occasion ; because, if they were to succeed in establishing such a prin- ciple, the KING, their Master, heads the list with a muni- ficent donation, which, as well as that of her MAJESTY, was wholly unsolicited. The evidence which it affords of the regard and respect which the nation feels for the Ministers of the Established Church, is most gratifying; and in reading the names of those who have contributed to the fund, the lover of his Country and its Constitution will have reason to be proud of the liberality of those, whose characters it is the constant effort of Radicalism and Republicanism to assail with calumny, and whose sacred functions in the Church of which they are the pillars, are made the constant theme of obloquy and ridicule by the levellers and Atheists of the new School of Reason and Liberality. Amongst the splendid subscriptions which have been re- ceived, is an ANONYMOUS gift of one thousand pounds, by the hands of the Bishop of EXETER, and a second donation from the Archbishop of ARMAGH of two thousand pounds. We are anxious to see what the LORD LIEUTENANT of IRELAND, and the Chief Secretary, or the Archbishop of DUBLIN will contribute ? AT a period like the present, when the friends of his MAJESTY'S Government are attempting to justify the atrocities of the Irish Papists, because theirs is not the Established Church, the following statement, extracted from the Edin- burgh Episcopal Magazine, may be considered as peculiarly interesting and important. The Government writers broadly insinuate that if the members of the Church of Ireland, were so situated as the members of the Church of Rome in Ireland now are, their conduct would be the same. By appealing to the conduct of Episcopolians, i. e. of the members of the Church of England and Ireland in Scotland, we can at once- give the lie to the insinuated calumny. " In some respects, we Episcopalians of Scotland are placed very- much in the same situation with the Roman Catholics of Ireland, i. e. we contribute to the support of a religious system of which we do- not approve ; and from which, we differ considerably in respect to doctrine and constitution and discipline. And, like the Roman Catholics, we have our own religion and its Ministers to support besides. And to make the parallel still more complete, the churches and revenues now enjoyed by the Presbyterian Church, once be- longed to the Episcopalians; just as the Roman Catholics say— though it is not actually the fact— that the churches and revenues of Ireland once belonged to the Romanists of that nation. Yet, do we murmur and rebel against the civil government on this account? Do we refuse to pay the Presbyterian Ministers their just demands ? Do we promote agitation with a view to overturn the established religion of the country ? You all know that the very opposite of this is the- fact. So strikingly is it the fact, that of all the various denominations of Christians in this country ( many of which differ very slightly from the Established Church), we Episcopalians, who differ most from it, are its best friends and supporters, because we are persuaded of the utility of an established religion of some kind ; and because, more- over, we are persuaded that ( notwithstanding all the defects ofPres- bvterianism) its downfall would inflict a severe injury upon the cause of religion generally, and multiply tenfold, the evils which are • already so alarmingly prevalent. " Now, contrast our conduct towards the Established Church here, with the conduct of the Roman Catholic priests towards the Esta- • blished Church of Ireland. I need not draw the contrast, for you already know wherein it consists. You know what their aonduct is towards the Church of Ireland, and yon know what our conduct is towards the Church of Scotland ; and two more diametrically oppo- site lines of conduct it is not easy to imagine. I ask, then, to what must we ascribe this remarkable difference ? Doubtless to the totally opposite spirits ofthe two religions systems. Their religion teaches them to use all means ( fair and foul, lawful and unlawful) to pro- mote the interests of their Church, and to consider the end as justi- fying the means. Onr religion teaches us to yield obedience to the. powers that be, and so long as we enjoy liberty of conscience and toleration, to be thankful for these blessings; and to pursue our way quietly and inoffensively, fearing GOD, honouring the KING, and obeying the laws. " In Ireland, it is well known, that nine parts out of ten of the landed property belong to members of the Established Church ; and it is equally well known, that the burthen of the tithe falls upon the land ultimately and really, though it be paid immediately by the tenant. " Now, what is the case in Scotland in respect to the religion of the landed proprietors ? It lias been estimated that two- thirds, or at any rate considerably more than one- half of them belong to the Episcopal Church, and on them, therefore, of course, as in Ireland, falls the chief burden of supporting the Established Clergy, In Scotland the - numerical majority of the landed proprietors are of the Episcopal Church; and yet, they cheerfully support a Church, to which they do not belong, and at the same time support the Church to which they do belong, thereby setting an example of obedience to the laws, of Christian moderation, and of peaceable demeanour, which it would, be a happy thing if the Roman Catholics of Ireland would imitate." SIR FRANCIS BURDF. TT has addressed the following letter to the Morning Chronicle. It appears to us scarcely to have been called for. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT may, in the course of a long public career, have acted upon many occasions in a maimer at variance with the views and principles of more sober contemporary politicians, but we fancy the worst enemies of the Honourable Baronet never suspected his spirit, his • honour, or his courage : — TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. SIR,— Having been much blamed for sending my letter addressed to the members of Brookes's 1o The Times, and strange inferences having been drawn therefrom, such as I never could have believed, possible, I take the liberty of sending this to you, and of requesting that you will have the goodness to publish it without delay, and also to transmit a copy to ' Ihe Times— you will thereby very much oblige me. 1 have just read a quotation from a paper called the Observer stating, or rather mis- stating, mistakingly too, I believe, many passages of my public life, npon which the writer with mn6h in- tended severity comments. There is only one, however, as it appears, tome, that is not so obviously erroneous, and been so often cor- rected, consisting chiefly of false inferences and uncandid opinions,, rather than matters of fact, that they hardly are worthy of notice. There is one circumstance, however, which the writer in the Ob- server asserts as a fact, and which, if it were so, would occasion me the deepest regret. I therefore call upon him to produce bis proof. The assertion is, that I made use of some insulting terms relative to Mr. Canning's mother, just before being sent to the Tower, and that on coming out Mr. Canning required, and received from me, an ample apology. Now, I firmly believe there is not the slightest truth in this statement. I do not rely on my memory when I say this, but on my principles and feelings, which never I think would bave allowed me to be guilty of so unjustifiable an act. What it was that, provoked Mr. Canning's anger, as alluded to, I am really unable to call to my recollection ; but the impression on my mind is, that it was something that took. place during my imprisonment in the King's Bench. Whatever was the cause of the altercation between us, I can safely say, that so far as it was a personal concern my conduct standstlear without the possibility ofimputation or reproach. Upon receiving Mr. Canning's letter pro- posing a meeting, f wrote an answer accepting it. I then sent for Mr. DouglasKinnaird, as honourable and spirited a man as any in England, and as fit as any in England to decide upon a point at issue between ine and. Mr. Canning. 1 placed myself in his hands— his honour and character were as much implicated in the transaction as my own, and I was bound to abide by his decision upon it. I flatter myself, there- fore, that as far as this was a personal concern, I may challenge the most illiberal minds and the most rancorous enmity to deny that my conduct in the transaction was correct, or to insinuate that there was the slightest ground for censure. I trust, therefore, that the writer ofthe Observer will either produce his proof or acknowledge his error. 1 remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, St. Leonard's, Dec. 6,1S35. FRANCIS BURDETT. MR. EDWARD LYTTON BULWER has addressed a letter to the newly- constructed Legislature of New South Wales, offer- ing his services as its Parliamentary Agent in England, gra- tuitously, as far as he is himself concerned, and requiring only the patronage of a Secretaryship at 5001. per annum, to be given to a nominee of his own, and an office in which the business of his constituents is to be conducted. The offer is a remarkably liberal one, and the more remark- ably so, being made by a literary man, who could turn his time to infinitely better account, in recording the individuals, to whom he ' addresses himself in works of fancy founded upon December 13. j o h n b u l l. 399 facts, after tlie fashion of PAUL CLIFFORD or EUGENE ARAM, than by representing them in Parliament, in which he may possibly not get a seat in the event of a dissolution. AVe regret to hear that any occupation, however beneficial to Botany Bay, is like to curtail the enjoyment which the public invariably receive from Mr. BULWER'S literary productions. By the SIDNEY newspapers we perceive that the generous disinterestedness of Mr. BULWF. R is likely to be met by a corresponding liberality on the part of the PEOPLE iu those parts. Many of them have had the benefit of experience in the world, and feel too much gratitude for Mr. BULWER'S goodness to permit it to be said that he is good " for nothing." The following is an extract from the Sidney Herald of June 15th:— PUBLIC MEETING, ON FRIDAY, MAY 29, 1835. JOHN MACKANESS, ESQ., IN THE CHAIR. Resolved unanimously— 1. That the meeting coinciding in the measures proposed by Mr. Buiwer, do pledge themselves to carry the same into effect, and to that end do cordially accept the disinterested and friendly offer made by him, to act as Colonial Parliamentary Advocate. 2. That it is requisite, agreeablv with Mr. Bulwer's suggestion, that an Association of the Colonists shall be formed to watch over the political and general interests of the community, whose duty it shall be to cariy on a correspondence with the Parliamentary Advocate, in order that an authentic exposition of the real state of our Colonial affairs may be from time to time exhibited be- fore the British House of Commons, and that such Association shall consist of all such persons as may subscribe annually the sum of one pound and upwards ; and that from amongst the Members of the Association who shall subscribe five pounds and upwards, shall be elected a Directing Committee ; and that in all elections for the Directing Committee, < fcc., every Member shall have one vote for every one pound subscription, but shall be limited to five votes in all. And further, that each subscriber shall sign an obligation to pay annually for the term of four years, such sum as he shall affix opposite his name, and that such subscription be forthwith entered into. 3. That to enable the Committee to carry these measures into opera- tion, His Excellency the Governor be requested to lay a Bill before the Legislative Counsel FOR THE APPROPRIATION or A SUM NOT EXCEEDING 2,0001. PER ANNUM FROM THE COLONIAL REVENUE, TO DEFRAY THE EXPENSES ATTENDANT UPON THE SEVERAL APPOINT- MENTS REQUISITE, AND AUTHORISING SUCH APPOINTMENTS TO BE ELECTED BY THE COSOXISTS ; which said Bill shall be prepared by the Committee; and when such expenses shall be paid by the Public Treasury, the aforesaid subscriptions shall cease. 4. That the Colonists of Van Diemen's Land be requested to coa- lesce with this meeting, in furthering the objects proposed. 5. That the cordial thanks of the meeting be given to Mr. Mackaness, for the handsome manner in which he has conducted himself while in the chair. J. MACKANESS, Chairman. To this is subjoined a list of 100 subscribers of sums vary- ing from . foO to £ I each, and a requisition for a meeting in the following week. The Colonists have evidently exceeded Mr. BULWER'S expectations. Two thousand a year, and the appointments to be filled up by the Colonists, sounds very like fifteen hundred a year for Mr. BULWER, and five hun- dred a year for his friend the Secretary. This is the reward of a disinterested regard and affection for the rights and pri- vileges of a new and most engaging settlement. the prevention of dry rot, the saving would annually exceed one million sterling.

In consequence of a delay on the part of the Government in availing itself of the advantages to be secured by the adoption of this patent, it appears by an advertisement in another part of our paper that it is proposed to establish a Joint Stock Company for the pur- pose of establishing tanks in London and the principal sea- ports, for the preparation of timber, canvass, and cordage; To establish tanks for all public works, as railroads, bridges, docks, & c., in which the timber used is required to be pre- served ; To construct moveable tanks for the use of ship- builders, house- builders, & c., to prepare timber for their own purposes of trade; and To supply noblemen, gentlemen, landed proprietors, See., with moveable tanks, according to the patent process, thereby rendering the wood grown on their own estates durable and applicable to all domestic and agricultural purposes. The capital to be raised is 250,0001., in 10,000 shares of 251. each. The other conditions as to Directors, & c., are much the same as iu other similar establishments. Having already given such elaborate and minute details of the success of this discovery— which, after the strictest inquiry, the most judicious scientific experiments, and the severest comparative trials, during seven years, has never failed in any one instance— it would be useless for us to repeat the unequivocal testimonials to its complete success which we have already exhibited; but we think the following extract from a letter to Mr. BEILBY THOMPSON, M. P., on the question of the Navy Es- timates, and how the charges of that department might be reduced, to the wonderful advantage of the country, by the adoption of the process in his Majesty's service, is important, inasmuch as it seems clear that the Government must, at no very great distance of time, become " customers" of the proposed Company, since by a delay, much of a piece with all their other errors of commission and omission, they have let slip'the opportunity of obtaining the privilege from the patentee himself in the first instance. This extract says :— Having thus particularly called your attention to the character and amount of the repairs of the navy, I shall proceed to point out what would be tbe probable annual saving to the country, by a certain prevention of dry rot in timber. On careful investigation of the subject, it will be obvious that enormous diminution of ex- pense would arise from various sources : but I shall found my calculation on the figures of the estimates, and subsequently merely advert to the additional saving from other considerations. The average duration of ships built of ordinary timber has been variously stated:— seven, eight, and ten years. If dry rot were prevented, and the ships subject only to ordinary casualties, it may be fear- lessly asserted that thirty years at least would be their average duration. Assuming such difference,— therefore, if in a navy, built and repaired of timber whose duration is ten years, it re- quired, during twenty consecutive years, in order to keep up the number by building as well as to repair them, the annual average sum of 1,190,6131.,— it is very evident that ships, built and repaired of timber whose duration would be thirty years, would have required only the annual average sum of 396,8711., to keep up their number by building and repairs; and there would have been, under such cir- cumstances, an annual saving to the country of 793,7421., or, in the twenty years, the total of 15,974,8401. It may be urged that this calculation is not applicable to the pre- sent time of peace; but the Navy Estimates for all repairs, irom 1822 to 1832 amounted to 7,971,8521. 7s 4d., being an annual average of nearly 8( jb, 0001. Let the same principle of calculation be applied to these latest Estimates, in times of peace, and the amount will be sufficient to excite the most serious attention to this important subject. In the prospect of a maritime war, when the whole of the ships in ordinary might be required for active service, what is there to prevent the repetition of the same results as from 1800 to 1820 ? Looking at the years of active warfare, from 1805 to 1815, the average annual expense of timber was nearly two millions; consequently, by I some future period to collate from the " Gurney papers" yet re- TOT. 4L OF THE TWENTY YEARS. For Building 18,721,551 Repairs 11,037,188 Ordinary Repairs for Wear and Tear 6,412,593 £ 36,171,331 It must be clear that with such convincing statements as these, depending for their accuracy only upon the efficacy of the process, which is proved to demonstration, the subject must become a national one, and we cannot conceive that a more advantageous or excellent investment can be made than in the purchase of shares in the undertaking. Anybody who reads the Times of Thursday, and who sees the just observations contained in that paper upon the dreadful state of the Neva convict ship, which in its rottenness split into four pieces in a fine night, merely because she touched a rock, by which circumstance between two and three hundred lives were lost, will quickly appreciate the advantages of a process which guarantees security to the timbers of a vessel for ten years longer than this rotten, unworthy ship had been built. We repeat, that the whole question of the universal adapt- ation of the process depends upon the efficacy of the process itself. The advertisement in our paper of to- day contains a few brief but rather convincing testimonials as to that. LITERATURE AND THE ARTS. First and foremost, and beyond all other objects which have met our eyes in the province of Art, let us pay a genuine tribute of praise and admiration to a work called the Flowers of Loveliness, consisting of twelve engravings, from designs by Mr. PAHRIS, illustrated by as many exquisite pieces of poetry by Lady BLESSINGTON. Mr. PARRIS, whose first distinguished work was purchased by Sir ROBERT PEEL, has in almost all of his designs for this exquisite book, exhibited the most perfect good taste, not only as far as the positive beauty of his flowers of loveliness goes, but in the arrangement and keeping of the subjects. The " Lily of the Valley" is perfectly beautiful; so is the exquisite group— child and all— called " Lilies:" but " Hearts- ease" excels even these— the beautifully animated countenance of the sparkling brunette, which we cannot but fancy a portrait, although, if it be, we have only seen the fascinating original once, so powerfully contrasted with the calm and placid indifference to all things, save one, of her love- stricken companion, is beyond praise. " Orange Flowers" is a gem. One or two, we like less than the rest. " Snow- drops" is a painful and unpleasant subject, and not gracefully treated ; and, with regard to the " Forget Me Not," we would ven- ture to hint to Mr. PARRIS that the wind which fills the sail of a lady's pleasure- boat with the yard square, is not likely to blow her veil right aft. These little specks are not sufficient to obscure the general beauty of the publication, and, we are sure, judging by the poetry of Lady BLESSINGTON, that she must have been inspired by the delightful designs of the artist. It is no bad compliment to her Ladyship to say that the literary part of the work is quite worthy of the pictorial. It must have prodigious success. Amongst other recently published works of art, a most beautiful mezzotinto by Doo, from a picture by Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, of the Countess of CLAN WILLIAM, stands prominent. The inherentsweetness and gracefulness of the original which are so purely and unaffectedly embodied in the picture, in which there is infinitely less millinery than we find in many of Sir THOMAS'S female portraits, have been most ably transferred to the copper by the highly- distinguished engraver. Every body who has the pleasure to know Lady CLANWILLIAM, must be delighted to have so faithful a portrait, and those who have not that pleasure, will rejoice in possessing one of the sweetest prints that ever was published. A small print from a humorous picture by CHALON, illustrative of the danger of " driving things off," deserves great praise. It repre- sents a procrastinating family a little too late for the coach, which, in return for their postponements, is being " driven off" beyond the reach of their cries. It is an extremely animated Hogarthian groupe. A very fine print by G. II. PHILLIPS, from the celebrated picture of REMBRANBT, in the possession of the Rev. THOMAS STREATFEILD, of Charts- edge, has also been published by Mr. MOON. TO say a word upon the original would be absurd— the mezzotinto is quite worthy of the original. The illustrations of the Literary Souvenir are before us, and we have great pleasure in expressing an opinion in tie highest degree favourable to their merits. We suppose the increased competition since the period when Mr. WATTS, who was one of the earliest in the " Annual field," keeps all the rivals on the qui vive and thus ensures to the public a yearly influx of beauty, grace, and talent which, half a century ago, would have astounded those who have gone before us. » Mrs. HALL, who appears to blend the two most opposite of all qualities, industry and genius, has just published a novel, called The Outlaw. It is in her best style— those who know her writings will perfectly appreciate the observation— and bids fair to stand, if not at the head ( for we are jealous as to that place), at least very high indeed in the list of her productions. Gilbert Gurney, by the author of Sayings and Doings, &.<•„, bids fair to be amongst the most popular of its author's performances. It is rather a series of incidents founded chiefly on fact, than a story of interest; but as those incidents either do bear, or ought to bear, the impress of nature, they will no doubt afford amusement to a host of steady goingpeople, wholiveon through their quietliveswithouthaving the sbghtest idea that such things can really be. It seems, by a sort of postscript, that the editor, as the author calls himself, proposes at maining in his hands another series of adventiires of the worthy GILBERT, in after life ; it will be curious to see what his career is, when he has become, like his friend DALY, sobered down. Margaret Ravenscroft— Marchese Conti— My Note Book, and several other works, have been received— but as it appears to us, whatever regular reviewers may do, next to impossible to read more than one- and- twenty volumes per week, we must postpone onr remarks upon those to our next number. Mr. VALF Y has just published the eighteenth volume of the History of England, by HUME and SMOLLETT, with a Continuation by the Rev. T. S. HUGHES, B. D., which perfectly maintains the charracter universally attributed to it. Mr. HUGHES, who, all through the Continuation, has shown infinite talent, great perspicuity, and per- fect impartiality, in the volume before us, touches upon a period most difficult to treat— we mean that, in which many men now living, have lived— the duty becomes naturally more delicate ; and, as far . as we have tested the author by circumstances still fresh in our memory, we are satisfied that 110 man could have per- formed a task of such a nature more fairly, more dispassionately, or with greater justness, or more completely have made out his claim upon the score of ability to become the generally accepted associate in the work of British history with the two distinguished men who have preceded him in this work as the recorders of our an- nals. THEATRES. The principal event in the theatrical world, during the week, has been the debut at the Olympic of Mr. MATHEWS, son of the late highly- gifted actor of that name. Mr. MATHEWS, as we have pre- viously observed, has been in the habit of performing as an ama- teur in the private theatres of Lord BURGHERSH, Lord MULGRAVE, the Duchess of BEDFORD, and other admirers and supporters of the Drama, and in society has displayed very great talent for a class of imitation far above mimicry, which comprises in a certain degree, like that of his father, a power of embodying character, and per- sonating, graphically, subjects which have come under his observa- tion during a long residence on the Continent, while pursuing the study of architecture, which, in the first instance, he proposed to adopt as his profession. But we were not prepared to find him, before a public audience, so easy, so self- possessed, and so compe- tent to the delineation of the characters he had to perform, to the management of stage- business, and to the art of giving the points of the dialogue with powerful effect, and apparently without effort. The reception the new actor met with on his entree was that ot friendship for himself, ar. d recollection of Auld lang syne, and woul have been equally warm and cheering without the ceremony of an address, which LISTON was destined to speak seriously. The effort was a dangerous one; but, however, the will for the deed was ac- cepted, and if it bespoke nothing else, it bespoke the friendly atten- tion of one of our first living actors to the son of a friend— a contem- porary, who, in the words of the address, said that public approbation " Came to him blended with his bright'ning name." The applause, which increased during the performance of both the pieces in which Mr. MATHEWS appeared, to its highest pitch, was of a different character ; the first burst, was encouragement— the latter peals were those of approbation ; and we believe, without any fear of disturbing the serenity of Mr. MATHEWS'S mind by an excess of praise, that we may say there never was a more entirely successful first performance. He was called for at the end of the second piece — in which his humorous talent was more distinctly developed than in the first, and in which, even to his dresses, he was perfect. He was led on by his Mentor, LISTON, whose personation of the half- muzzy old coachman was as true to nature as author or audience could wish. A comedy, called King O'Neil, has been produced at Covent Garden Theatre, which is said to have been well received. The attractions of Drury Lane so overlay the half- pay giant, that, unless from the overflows of Gog, Magog has little to hope. Mr. BRAHAM'S Theatre, which was seriously advertised to be opened last Monday, and which is as seriously announced for opening to- morrow, is, we are told, perfectly beautiful in form and decora- tion. If it really receive its first audience to- morrow, the saying " Fronti nulla fides" will be most wonderfully verified, for yesterday week the front walls were not up —| the passages were scarcely sketched, and as for a roof, not a slate or a tile could we see. In- dustry, activity, and genius do wonders— all of these we believe to be associated in the construction of this new fane of pleasure, and we look anxiously to the morrow, to see whether it really will be ready for the reception of an audience. We regret to hear of the melancholy suicide of poor Pelissee, a man of infinite genius and versatile talent, but who seems to have got involved in the inextricable trammels of theatrical management. What SHAKSPEARE said of the " course of true love," seems equally applicable to playhouses. The aggravation to this clever artiste's misery appears to have been of a needless character; the death he had chosen to die was one of the most torturing character— the whole history is a piteous one. Another favourite, in his way, has fallen a victim to the dreadful malady under the influence of which the last- named victim perished. Mr. IVIRBY, for many years the favourite ( the newspapers say) Har- lequin ( but we think Clown), has been placed in safety, but in - the greatest distress, labouring under a serious aberration of intellect. These are melancholy things to reflect upon, that those who have catered for public amusement, and have personally contributed to achieve that object, should terminate their existence under such dis- tressing circumstances. Mrs. NISBETT— who has met with a most powerful champion in a spirited and remarkably well- written periodical, called Fraser's Literary Chronicle— returns to her fane in Tottenham- street, at Christmas. The writer in this extremely varied journal is, perhaps, rather too strong in his animadversions upon those who have, in the most injudicious manner, laid themselves open to attack, by foully- abusing the fair managress of the Adelphi. But, whoever the writers are — and judging by an observation in its pages, the FRASERIANS of Regent- street, certainly are not the people— if they proceed as they have begun, they will make some of the old stagers shake in their shoes, or, at all events, take off their night- caps and work in earnest. We are glad to hear that Mr. PEAKE, one of the most zealous and deserving servants of the public— literally a servant, from having served them very materially as an author, as well as in every other capacity in which he has employed himself— had a very crowded benefit at the English Opera House, which we are glad to see is beginning to attract audiences, who do not dislike a combination of sense with sound, and who, perhaps, feel— not that we give the play- going public much credit for feeling anything but a desire to be amused— that so constant a supporter of native talent as Mr. ARNOLD— considering too, all his heavy losses— deserves encouragement and patronage. / j o h n b u l l. December 13, TO JOHN BULL. SIR,— My attention lias been drawn to an article inyonrlast num- ber, in which my name has been invidiously introduced, and my conduct unjustly censured, relative to some remarks alleged to hare been made by me, but which are not correctly stated. And relying on your word, " that if yon did me wrong, you would most readily do ine right," I avail myself of the opportunity of relating the facts of. the case. You state, " that in holding another inquisition, on another steam- boat accident, I was pleased to make some remarks on the conduct of1 Mr. COMBE, for committing the captain and mate or pilot of the steam- boat, on such a charge as Manslaughter, The inference to be drawn from this statement is, that the inquest taken by me arose out of some fresh occurrence; whereas it was held on the bodies of the two persons unfortunately lost some weeks since, on board the Fawn oyster smack, and for whose deaths two men had been tried, and acquitted, on a charge of Manslaughter, at the Central Criminal Court, a week before the bodies were found. You say, " We beg to ask Mr, CARTTAR what right he, as Coro- ner, has to make any reflections upon, or any allusions to, the puhlic conduct of a Magistrate ?" To which 1 reply— that, in the observations I deemed it necessary to addre.- s to the Jury, in introducing the case, I made no mention of Mr. COMBE'S, or any other Magistrate's name ; but I believe I said, that the committal of those men prior to finding the bo- dies of the deceased, had not only gone far to supersede the necessity of any judicial investigation by me as Coroner, but was highly calculated to defeat the ends of justice, byputtingmen on their trial, who, however guilty, must of necessity have been acquitted for want of the legal proof of death. With respect tomy professional engagements, the solemnity of an oath will ever prevent them, or anything else, from interfering with the du ties of mv office, as Coroner for the county, which in every case that has come before me, I have performed with the most conscien- tious impartiality, and challenging the whole world to prove to the coutrary, I think in your animadversions upon my being " cad," as you " are pleased to call it, to a Steam Packet Company, you have lost sight of your usual courtesy, and have passed the limits of that strict justice, for which I have always felt disposed to give you credit. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, RICH. JAS. CARTTAR, Greenwich, 1 Oth Dec. 1835. Coroner for Kent. According to our promise to do Mr. CARTTAR justice, we insert the above letter. He there does himself justice ; but, in point of fact, the statement which appeared in our last paper differs but very little, if at all, from what he himself says upon the subject. Mr. CARTTAR did not mention Mr. COMBE'S name ( who does not spell his name with two o's, although Mr. CARTTAR, we perceive, spells his with two T'S) ; but he did make some observations upon the conduct of the Magistrates, & c. Mr. CARTTAR admits that he is professionally engaged for Steam- boat Companies. We never presumed to imagine that " the solemnity of an oath" would not be a perfect security for the adequate performance of the duties of his office as Coroner. We only ventured to suggest, knowing the falli- bility of human nature, that in that particular district the double duties appeared to be incompatible. With respect to our having called Mr. CARTTAR " cad," we really regret it, since he thinks it discourteous, and are most ready to state, if he prefer the term, that he is in point of fact " Attorney" to the Companies in question. The Dublin Evening Mail gives the following graphic description of the Irish Chancellor's last retirement from his Court on Monday last. We do not profess to account for the peculiarity which it seems distinguished his Lordship's proceedings upon that particular day:— At the rising of the Court on Saturday last the Chancellor signifi- cantly observed, that as several cases stood over, it might be of great importance to the parties that his Lordship should give his judg- ments this term, and he statedhis intention to come down on Monday for tliat purpose. His Lordship accordingly sat on Monday, and having disposed of several cases, inquired of the Registrar if all were finished, and, being answered m the affirmative, his Lord- ship paused, and seemed for a few moments unconsciously absorbed in meditation, during which a profound silence reigned in Court. After a short interval, his Lordship, quite contrary to his accustomed habit, as the duty is usually performed by his secretary, proceeded to collect his papers in a manner illustrating the sentiment expressed by his Lordship's motto, " festine lente," • under evident reluctance to leave the seat of his affection; and we rejoiced to see the good old man, as the hour of his departure drew nigh, so anxious to set his house in order, and settle his affairs. His Lordship at length reluctantly arose, and bowed most condescendingly to the gazing bar, which courtesy _ his Lord- ship three times repeated as he retired, each time casting many a " longing lingering look behind." The scene was truly affecting. How many a smothered sigh and sob, proceeding from some of the Radical clodpoles and would- be Chairmen or Commissioners, dis- guised under wigs and gowns, in the back benches, could we distin- guish! His Lordship's calm and unruffled countenance looked un- usually benign— the graces and virtues by turns seemed struggling for ascendancy, exhibiting as varied hues and tints as the dying dol- phin ; amidst which we thought we could observe, as most predomi- nant, that of resignation! Our feelings will not suffer us to enlarge on this subject to- day; when they become more subdued we may complete the picture. The report of LORD VERSOS'S death is premature. We rejoice to hear that Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, who has been seri- ously indisposed, is fast recovering from his illness. Mr. FARADAY has published the following letter with reference to the statements which have appeared respecting his pension:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,— I do not know whether it is worth while, after your publication of Mr. Faraday's letter, to notice the foolish bluster that has been made in reference to a paper which appeared in the last number of the Magazine published by me, illustrative of a little passage in the lives of Lord Melbourne and the distinguished chyraist. Mr. Faraday himself has not contradicted one assertion that was nazarded in the Magazine. He says no more than that he did not, either directly or indirectly, authorise the publication of the article in question, and I am quite ready to add that neither he nor his friend, Sir James South, had the smallest hand in the matter. But are the facts of the case impugned? Is a single statement shown to be untrne ? Is it denied that the conversation as given is substantially correct? Quite the reverse. And I take this public opportunity of declaring that the only errors of which the writer has been guilty are those of omission, which, since the Whigs and Radicals appear to desire it, he may take another opportunity of supplying. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, 215, Regent- street, Dec. 8, 1835. JAMES FBASER. The Cambridge Chronicle has the following:— The Morning Chronicle has so often inserted in its columns letters purporting to be from Members of the Senate, which so evidently proceeded from mere private malice, that we have long ceased to be astonished at any statements contained in its columns, however incredible the facts asserted may be, or personally insulting the language in which they are couched. We are glad to find that Mr. WODEHOUSE, in the temperate and gentlemanly letter which we give below, lias demanded! the name of the pitiful scribbler, who, it seems, has for some time been systematically libelling him. We < hope that he will succeed in bringing to punishment his lying and cowardly assailant :— CAMBRIDGE PITT DINNER. To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle. Sir,— Unwilling as I have always felt to be obtruded on public notice, I cannot allow the attack, which appeared in the Morning Chronicle of December 5tn, to pass without contradiction. Til the paragraph to which I allude, some anonymous correspond- ent has pretended to give an account of the Pitt dinner, which took place at Cambridge on Thursday last. The remarks upon the mem- bers of theclub at large demand no comment from me. The perso- nalities, however, directed against myself, I consider it incumbent upon me to answer. The speech which has been put into my mouth I beg most distinctly to disclaim, for had not your correspondent been otally regardless of truth, he would have found that, with the exception of the healths of the President and Vice- President, no private toasts were introduced, and that during the whole course of the evening I did not address one single syllable to the meeting. The spirit in which these remarks respecting me are dictated, leave little doubt but that it is the effusion ot one, who having been driven from his repeated persecutions of me in an unstamped publication in the town, has- betaken himself to your journal. I can reasonably presume that an article like the one in question could not have found its way into your columns, without your being furnished with the author's name. Relying, therefore, upon your sense of honour, I venture to request that you will communicate it to me ; and, I assure you, that by so doing you will confer an obligation on myself individually, and on the University at large. Hoping that you will give insertion to this, 1 am your obedient humble servant, Trinity College, Dec. 6. ALGERNON WODEHOUSE. [ Note of the Editor of the Morning Chronicle.— Mr. WODEHOUSE rightly infers that the article of which lie complains was not inserted without our having been furnished with the author's name. That gentleman has been written to, and when we hear from him no time shall be lost in communicating with MR. WODEBOUSE.] To the Editor of the Morning Chronicle. SIR,— To the instances of credulity or malice ( I know not which to call them) already exhibited by you in reference to that club, which, however contemptible you may profess to think it, you and your cor- respondents have honoured with so much notice, you have added one more by the insertion of the letter which appeared on Saturday. For, however true the sentiments attributed by your correspondent to Mr. Wodehouse may be, it is also a fact tliat'no such sentiments ever were delivered by him, inasmuch as he made no speech whatever at that dinner, at which I had the honour to preside. It might have been expected, Sir, that considering the errors into which you have been already led by letters from anonymous correspondents, profess- ing to be resident senior wranglers, < fcc. < fec., you would by this time have learnt caution enough not to insert any communication involving names and facts, without being able to produce your authority when their truth was denied. Trusting to your candour to insert both sides of a question, 1 hope you will give this insertion, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, LONGFORD. The following is copied from the JVeekly United Service Journal. We have frequently exposed the shabby proceedings of the War Office in many instances, but bad as has been the conduct to which we have called attention, we can scarcely yet credit the existence of the meanness described below:— It may not be generally known, that the widows of several lately deceased officers have been refused the usual pensions by the War Office, on the ground that they already possess enough of private property for their support. Such a proceeding we must call as unjust as it is disgraceful. It therefore becomes the bounden duty of every military man, in place of diminishing liis comforts for the purpose of laying by something for his family, to insure his life, by which means, at a very small annual payment, he is enabled when dying to settle a certain sum on his children, while his widow, as a matter of right, must have her pension from the state. This is the only way to meet such paltry economists, and we hope the recommendation may not pass unheeded. The following account of the proceedings at Guildhall, with regard to what we have always understood to be the usual tribute to the LADY MAYORESS for the time being under similar circumstances, gives an unfavourable idea of the gallantry of the Civic body.— The Committee of Common Council, appointed to inquire into the most appropriate and complimentary mode of expressing the gratifi- cation felt by the Corporation at the birth of a son to the Chief Magistrate, assembled at Guildhall on Saturday. The records had been searched to ascertain the alleged practice of presenting a silver cradle on such occasions, but no resolution to that effect was dis- covered; and when Alderman VENABLES had a similar happiness conferred on him, neither cradle, nor plate, nor congratulatory address was presented. A motion that the Aldermen in scarlet robes, and the Common Council in violet gowns, should present a congratu- latory address on the happy event, with a piece of plate of considerable value as a further testimony of their gratification, was negatived as regarded the pecuniary tribute ( this being opposed as uncongenial to his Lordship's feelings), but carried as to a mere verbal compli- ment, drawn up in most select and appropriate language. The Northampton Herald gives the following illustration of Whig purity, which is worthy of notice:— It is not a little amusing to remark the system of Whig- Radical mancemring which has been resorted to on this occasion, as it is on all others where Liberals wish to carry a point. Provided they can gain their end, they are, like their Popish adherents, not over scru- pulous about the means which they employ for its accomplishment. As an instance of this we may quote the highly improper, though in- effably- ludicrous conversation, said to have taken place at Raunds, on Thursday se'nnight, between Mr. IIANBURY and Mr. BLOTT, the worthy schoolmaster of that place. On Mr. HANBURY soliciting the vote of Mr. BLOTT, the tragi- comic scene commences:— Mr. BLOTT.— 1 have promised my vote to Mr. Maunsell. Mr. HANBURY—( produced a paper from his pocket.)— I received this from Mr. Langham, informing me that Sir James Langham had promised me his vote, and telling me that I might show it to his tenants. Mr. Langham sends 251. to the school! Mr. BLOTT.— I believe he sends 301. Mr. HANBURY.— I shall write to Mr. Langham, and try to stop this, for we will not be humbugged any longer in this way ! So much for the sayings and doings of the liberal and loud advo- cates of purity of election ! Why did Mr. LANGHAM send the afore- said 301. for the benefit of the school so shortly before Mr. BLOTT was asked to vote for Mr. HANBURY? Why did Mr. HANBURY inform Mr. BLOTT that he would " write to Mr. LANGHAM and try to stop this ?" ( viz., the contribution of the 301.) We leave our readers to guess at the answers to these queries; for ourselves we own we are incompetent to offer any explanation. The following statement shows the increase which has taken place, this year, in the number of votes for the county ofWarwick:— Northern Division. Increase. Number of Electors in 1835 6,595 Ditto in 1834 4,779 1,726 Southern Division. Number of Electors in 1835 3,097 Ditto in 1834 2,901 1,096 The following is from the Boston Herald:— As stated in our last week's paper, a very spirited contest took place at Spalding for the office of guardian under the Poor Law Amendment Act. On Monday the examination of the papers re- turned by the charge- bearers took place, when it appeared that the eight gentlemen first nominated had a majority of the parishioners. The business was not concluded until two o'clock on Tuesday morn- ing ; and during the whole of Monday all the agitation usual at elec- tions was evident in the town. The state of the poll was published every three hours; and by 12 o'clock it was certain that seven of the candidates would be returned, viz., T. F. Johnson, Esq., Mr. R. Everitt, Mr. J. Butters, Mr. T. Harrison, Mr. T. Nunneley, Mr. C. Dolby, and Mr. Robt. Everard. The contest lay between Mr. Wm. Laxton, Mr. Thos. Smith, merchant, and Mr. G. M. Edmonds, of the Stock Bank. These gentlemen were alternately at the head of each other, but at the close of the poll Mr. Laxton had a small ma- jority, which will be seen by the following statement:— Mr. George M. Edmonds. Rev. Robert Jay. . . . Mr. Henry Bugg, jun. . Mr. JGeorge Calthrop. . . Mr. Samuel Lamming. . Mr. William Ogden. . . Mr. James Wilson. . . Mr. William Earl. . . . 208 166 160 156 120 103 T. F. Johnson, Esq. ... 466 Mr. Robert Everitt. . . , 409 Mr. John Butters 390 Mr. Thomas Harrison. . . 364 Mr. Thomas Nunneley. . . 358 Mr. Charles Dolby. . . . 343 Mr. Robert Everard. . . . 313 Mr. William Laxton. . . . 219 Earl 4/ Mr. Thomas Smith. . . . 212 A scrutiny then took place of such as had not paid their Church- rates, and their names were struck off. This made no alteration in the return of the candidates, but it very considerably lessened the number of votes, as the whole of the Baptists, and most of the Independents, were found to have deprived themselves of the right of voting by neglecting or refusing to pay the rates. An ap- parent inconsistency, which occurred in the above election, has been the subject o'f much conversation since. The law enacts, that the votes of such as have not paid all rates shall be disal- lowed. In consequence, a great many votes were rejected at Spalding on Monday last, the Church- rate not having been paid, ^ ow, it so happens that Mr. John Butters, the leader of the anti- Church- rate party at that place, and one whose own vote was re- jected, is returned a guardian. This question is repeatedly asked since :— can a man who has forfeited his own right as a voter for an office, be legally returned to fill the office for which he has rendered himself ineligible to vote. If this be law it is not equity.— The Board of Guardians at Spalding comprises twentv- seven members, twenty- five chosen by the charge- bearers, anj two Magistrates who are guardians ex- officio. l'he Board met on Wednesday for business. There were five candidates for the clerkship, all young men of merit, and much esteemed. One of the candidates ( Mr. Robert Lanning), when it came to the contest declined. The num- bers for the other four were,— for Mr. Ashley Maples, 9; Mr. Ed- wards, 8; Mr. Charles Bonner, 7; and Mr. Charles Harvey, 3;— Mr. Maples was therefore the successful candidate. The clerk's salary was fixed at 701. per annum. Mr. Charles Bonner, senior, was ap- Eointed auditor, with a salary of 251. per annum. The Rev. > r. Moore is chairman to the Board, and Theophilus F. Johnson, Esq,, vice- chairman. The Board then proceeded to divide the Union into three districts, to be under the care of as many Relieving Officers, viz., 1st, Spalding and Pinchbeck,, officer's salary 1101. 2d, Surfieet, Gosberton, and Quadring, salary 901. 3d, Weston, Moulton, and Cowbit, salary 901. The salaries of the master and matron of the workhouse were fixed at 501. and 351., with such board as the workhouse affords, together with coals, soap and candles. The salaries of the schoolmaster and schoolmis- tres 301. and 251., with the same privileges as the master and matron. The l_ 7th inst. is the day appointed for electing persons to fill these situations. Perhaps there never was a measure passed more gene- rally unpopular than this Poor Law Amendment Act. The rate- payers generally are dissatisfied with it, and the poor are outrageously so. But we would again and again remind the latter, that this law is tbe work of their own hands, inasmuch as it is a measure wholly and solely of the men whom they have been keeping in place by the force of tbe cudgel these four years past. It is only a measure of reform. In the letter which Mr. ENEAS MACDONNELL has addressed to the Times, the following passage occurs :•— I solicit your attention now to the spirit of jobbing, patronage- creating, and actual despotism displayed in this and two others of the bundle of bills sent up to the Lords by the Ministers— namely, the Irish Constabulary Bill, and the Dublin Police Bill; every one of which purports to have been " prepared and brought in " by this as- sailant of their Lordships, associated with other members or officers of the Crown. Take them collectively, and tliey furnish the follow- ing bill of fare, presented by the " only English Ministers that were ever friends to Ireland— 1. The Lord Lieutenant to appoint 11 Revising Bar- £ s. risters, with annual salaries of 3001. each . . . 3,300 0 2. The Lord Lieutenant to appoint one General Police Superintendent, at an annual salary of .... 1,000 0 3. The Lord Lieutenant to appoint one General Police Inspector, at an annual salary of ... . 600 0 4. The Lord Lieutenant to appoint 33 Local Inspectors, with annual salaries of 5001. each 16,500 0 5. The Lord Lieutenant to appoint 33 Local Paymasters, with annual salaries of 1001. each 3,300 0 6. The Lord Lieutenant to appoint two Justices for Dublin, with annual salaries of 8001. each. . . . 1,600 0 7. The Lord Lieutenant to appoint one Receiver for Dublin, with an annual salary of . , 461 11 8. The Lord Lieutenant to appoint 132 Inspectors of Po- lice, salaries not specified : but estimated, with other ad- vantages at 3001. a- year each 39,600 0 9. The Lord Lieutenant to appoint 594 Chief Constables of Police throughout Ireland, their salaries not stated, but to be determined by him 10. The Lord Lieutenant to appoint all Constables and Sub- constables under the Constabulary Act, throughout Ireland 11. The Lord Lieutenant to fill up all vacancies of Con stables and Sub- constables, throughout Ireland. 12. The 33 Local Inspectors of Police, so appointed by the Lord Lieutenant, to be, ipso facto, Justices of the Peace, without any other qualification. 13. The Lord Lieutenant is empowered to appoint the 132 Sub- inspectors to be Justices of the Peace, without any other qualification. 14. The 33 Local Inspectors, appointed by the Lord Lieutenant, are the only persons authorised to make out the list of persons from whom the Sub- constables are to be selected. Here, indeed, is a notable combination of patronage and power devised by the " only English Minsters that were ever friends to Ireland." We have 214 new places created, with salaries averaging 3001. a- year each. We have next 165 stipendiary magistrates without any other qualification but their offices; and all the consta- bles and sub- constables, of every class and grade, to be appointed by the Lord Lieutenant, and amounting, I believe, at present, to about 5,000 men, with power to him to increase the number to any ex- tent. This is a system of military despotism, constructed under the name and pretence of a constabulary bill, which would have been completed if the Lords had not most providentially iuterposed.— Those Ministers who were so anxious to divest the Crown of its prerogative in the election of justices for corporations, and who pro- fess to desire that the laws of Ireland should be assimilated to those of England, would, nevertheless, vest the appointment, not only of justices of the peace, but also of superintendents, inspectors, chief constables, and sub- constables for Ireland, in the Lord Lieutenant; and while they are anxious to vest in the small householders of corporations the power to select the names from amongst which the Crown shall nominate the justices of the peace, will not suffer a bench of justice in England, to appoint a single sub constable, or even to make out or assist in making out the list of names of per- sons qualified to act as such sub- constables. Would they— dare they, in their spirit of assimilation, propose to establish a similar system in England, and to degrade and distrust the English gentry in such a vilifying fashion? — We have an object in calling attention to this matter even beyond that of Mr. MACDONNELL, who takes it up purely as an Irish ques- tion. We trust it will induce Mr. HUME, or some equally industrious and economical Member of Parliament, as soon as may be after the opening of the Session, to move for a correct return of all the offices created by the present Ministry, in the way of Commissioners, Sub- Commissioners, Revising Barristers, Boundary Commissioners, Charity Commissioners, Tail Commissioners, & c. & c., with the amount of salary of each of the favoured individuals. The following account of the most extraordinary produce upon record is from TRUMAN'S Exeter Paper:— There has been produced this year, from a field of three and half acres, in the occupation of MR. JAMES MAN LEY, of Tipton Mills, Ot- tery St. Mary, the following extraordinary crop,— 31 hogsheads of cider, 153 bushels of barley, and 81 bags of potatoes; the bags of these being of eight score weight each. In order to a perfect understand- ing of this, it should be stated that the apple trees grow in the border around the inclosure, and the potatoes underneath them ; the barley growing in the centre of the field ; and this ( probably) unparalleled instance of successful farming can be authenticated by many gentle- men of Ottery. EXTRACTS FROM A LETTER FROM DANIEL O'CON- NELL, ESQ., M. P., TO THE EDITOR OF THE LEEDS TIMES, OX PEERAGE REFORM. " Princes and Lords may flourish, or may fade, " A breath can make them, as a breath has made." Derryna/ e Abbey, Nov. 20,1835. • • • « m ' * • * My plan is this: I propose it with due submission to the judgment r " I... . ' „ .1... .]..... IL.-— TTIV M » TI is tins - —- 433. are leaving 130 Irish Peers to be added to ine liug^ u, torn mi, ™ for Scotland 57, not being English Peers; the total of the existing Peers will thus amount to 620 persons. 1 reckon the Irish and. December 13. j o h n b u l l. 399 Scotch Peers as well as the English, for they certainly should be put i ultimately preventing the rep » al of the Union— nay, the separation on a footing of perfect equality, else the Union is ft mockery to them, of these countries— but by procuring that justice for Ireland which In order to carry the Bill for the reform of the House of Lords, it | the House of Lords contemptuously refuses her. You must have • would be necessary to create a new batch of Peers ; and it would be wise in that case to create a large number, suppose 180, so as to ren- der the success of the Bill quite certain ; it would be useful in another point of view to have a great addition to the present Peerage, be- cause there would be this important advantage, that the number of persons eligible to sit in the Upper House of Parliament being so much greater, the people would have a large range for selection. Taking then the present Peers at 620, and adding 180, you would have 800 Peers altogether. I propose that the House of Lords should in future consist of 150 only— that these 150 should be elected by the people out of the 800. The 800 Peers would be the sole persons eligible. The electors I propose to be the people at large. For that purpose I propose that Great Britain and Ireland should be divided into 150 districts, as nearly equal in point of population as possible. Each district to elect one Peer. Every househoulder to be an elector; and for my part I should most anxiously desire that the electors should have the protection of voting by ballot. It is included in my plan. _ . It seems to me that as the number of the eligible would be limited, the electors ought to be as numerous as possible. I propose that the number of Peers should never be less than 500. I do not propose in any way to restrict the Royal prerogative of creating Peers. The more Peers the King may create, the greater would be the opportunity afforded for the people of making a good choice. I propose that the legislative body of the Peers should be elected for five years; one- fifth to go out annually, with the full capacity of being re- elected. This plan would leave the prerogative of the Crown untouched. The King would have the power to create as many Peers " s he pleased. The only limitation would be in the opposite sense. There should be always 500 Peers— there are now 620. This, then, is the summary of my plan : let the House of Lords for legislation be reduced to 150. There seldom attend so many, except for bad purposes. Let the selection of 150 be given in districts, which may, with the utmost facility, be framed for that purpose. My plan would include household suffrage and vote by ballot. I look forward to the enactment of triennial elections for the Mem- bers of the House of Commons. The simultaneous election of that House no person proposes to disturb, but the situation of the legis- lators in the Lords should, I think, be for four years— removed an- nually in the proportion of one- fifth. Thus, therefore, Mr. Baines must in spite of himself see that I propose a House of Lords— and a House of nothing but Lords; an assembly of Barons, and nothing but Barons. I do not alter the Constitution, as it is_ called, one particle. The only change I propose is within the principal and the practice of the Con- stitution— aprinciple twice sanctioned by Legislative enactment— con- secrated by two of the most important Acts of Parliament in the statute- book, and made the bond of union between the three separate kingdoms of which the empire is composed. That principal worked out into practice is the selection of a portion of the Peerage, and their separation from the rest, for the purpose of legislation. Thus, by the Act of Union with Scotland, the right of legislation was taken away from the Scotch Peers generally ; and out of about 154 Peers— which composed, as I recollect, the Scotch Peerage at the Union— only 16 were to be selected, and the right of legislation pre- served to the selected 16. The rest of the Scotch Peers were placed in the self- same predicament in which my plan would place the English Peers beyond the 150 who are to have the power to legislate. Thus, again, by the Act of Union with Ireland, the right of legis- lation was taken'away from the Irish Peers generally, and out of about 150 Peers only 28 were to be selected, and the right of legis- lation reserved to the selected 28. In each law of Union, the principle of exclusion of the many and of selection of a few of the Peers of each country, was established and worked out, but, in point of practice, was worked out with a strong and striking difference. The 16 Scotch Peers were and are selected for each Parliament only— each of the 28 Irish Peers is selected for his life. The principle of exclusion and selection was the same in both cases— the mode of working out that principle was essentially different.. Now that is precisely what, is proposed— to adopt the principle of exclusion of the many and of the selection of a chosen few— the mode of that selection to be different Experience has shown that the mode of selection by the Peers themselves is the very worst imagin- able. Let us adopt the principle, but work it out with the improved machinery of popular suffrage, protected from intimidation, coer- cion, and corruption, by the ballot. Shall it be said that the exclusion of several of the Peers from the Reform in the Lords— or, mark my words, " repeal of the Union." right to legislate is a robbery, a spoliation of their vested rights, their existing privileges? To which I reply, the union with Scotland, and above all the union with Ireland; and I take leave humbly to ask Mr. Baines, is the latter founded on spoliation and robbery ? Let him give me any fair answer to that question, and I will find in it at once, either the principle of Repeal, or the principle of Reformof the Lords. By my plan, the unelected English Peers would be precisely in the situation in which the unelected Scottish Peers bavebeen for more ' than a century— in a situation identical in essence with that of the nnelected Irish Peers, but in many particulars superior. In short, the state of the unelected English Peers would be a known, a familiar " status" of the Peerage— one created by most important statutes, and already existing around us at every side. I propose no innovation, no material change in the Peerage. I would merely introduce into the Peerage of England what has been already introduced into the Peerage of Scotland and Ireland. The only alteration I propose is in the detail of selection ; and I do think that every rational man will allow that the election by the people at large is infinitely superior to the mode of election by the Peers them- selves. Even Baines himself must admit that the election by the Peers themselves is the very worst in principle and in practice that could be adopted— it would aggravate the present evils and remedy none. « • • • * But, to be serious; as he ( Mr. Baines) has introduced the Repeal, and insinuated that I have abandoned that measure, I deem it but. candid to inform the British Reformers that 1 have not abandoned the pursuit of the repeal of the Union; it is, on the contrary, true, and let Baines make th e most of it, that I am as thoroughly convinced as ever I was that Ireland will never be well or honestly governed' until she has a domestic Legislature of her own. I therefore have not abandoned, I have only postponed, the agitation of that, measure; and I have postponed it for two reasons: first, to givp, in the full spirit of candour and perfect fair play, room for the entire work- ing out of an experiment of whether Ireland can have a just and beneficial Government without the repeal of the Union. I enter into that experiment fully, heartily, actively, energetically. Should the experiment succeed— and Lord Mulgrave and Lord Morpeth, are as yet doing all they possibly can to make it succeed— if it. succeed, then my judgment will prove to be wrong; but my heart will be con- soled by the prosperity of the loved land of my birth. If it fail, as fail I think' it must, I will then turn round on the honest Reformers of Great Britain; I will point out the sincerity with which I have made out the experiment of an imperial legislation ; I will point out, the natural and unpassable obstacles to its success. I will then be right in the judgment of my conscience, and of all the impartial men of the British Isles, and with eight millions at my back, and justice in my canse, it would indeed be preposterous to doubt, of success. The second reason why I postpone " the Repeal" is, that Ireland is not as yet ripe for a simultaneous effort. The Orange faction is as yet frantic, fanatical, and, above all, selfish. It is ready to sacrifice country and liberty to the base and factious interests of a sanguinary party. But I thank you, Baines, for introducing the " Repeal," because it enables me to ask you, whether the House of Lords be not now the most prominent and unmanageable obstacle to the good govern- ment of Ireland? The 170despots have treated England and Scot- land badly in the last session. They have treated them unjustly— they have thrown out. or retarded, or mutilated, at. theircaprice, many mea- sures of vital utility to Great. Britain. But Ireland they have treated insolently— contemptuously. They scorned to argue. They actually ECCL ESIAST1CAL 1X1ELLIO ENCE. PREFERMENTS, APPOINTMENTS, & C. The Rev.

CAMBRIDGE, Dec. 11,— At a congregation held yesterday the Rev. John Maddy, D. D., of Jesus college, Oxford, was admitted ad eundnm, of this university. Professor Airy has notified to the Vice- Chancellor, that he intends shortly to tender to the Plumian Trustees his resignation of the Plumian Professorship, and also that he shall be unable to be permanently resident at the Observatory after the end of the present term: but has offered to the Observatory Syndicate to continue the general superintendence of the Observatory, and to visit it occasionally until some further and permanent arrangement is made.— In consequence of the above intimation a grace passed the Senate yesterday to the following effect:—" To commit the care of the Observatory to the present Observatory Syndicate during the absence of the Professor, and until such arrangement is made." MISCELLANEOUS. The Radicals of St. Andrew, Holhorn, were defea ted on Thursday, on the question of a Church- rate, which was carried by a majority of 140 to 91. The Clergy, with their usual illiberality, continue to make great reductions in their tithes in this neighbourhood. We adduce the following cases as proof of this:— The Rev. J. C. COOKE, Rector of Swillana, deducted 15 per cent., at his tithe audit, unsolicited, and this from a moderate composition, which gave entire satisfaction to his parishioners. At Framlingham, the trustees of the Rev. JOHN NORCROSS, have this year generously granted to his parishioners a deduction of 5 per cent, upon their existing tithe compositions. The Hadleigh tithe audit took place on Thursday, the 26th of Nov., when the Venerable the Archdeacon LYALL, withhis usual liberality, gave back 10 per cent, upon the tithes of that, parish. The Rev. EDWARD B. BARKER, of Bacton, at his late audit, in order to meet the distressed state of the times, kindly made a reduction of 10 per cent, on his tithes.— Bury and Suffolk herald. The new Church at Westley was opened on Sunday last, under virtue of a license granted to the Rector by the Bishop of the diocese. This elegant little structure was recently erected by voluntary con- tributions, at the head of which appears the munificent sum of 6001. from the Marquess of BRISTOL, in addition to a piece of land for a new site ; 1001. from one of the three resident occupiers, and 501. from each of the other two ; 501. from a non- resident occupier; the same sum from a neighbouring gentleman; 401. from the patrons; 501. from the Rector ; and various sums of from five to ten pounds, from small occupiers andpersons connected with the parish ( amount- ing in the whole to 1,0301).— lb. The annual meeting of the Bury St. Edmunds Society for the Pro- pagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was held at the ' Guildhall, on Wednesday se'nnight, the Right Hon. the Earl JERMYN in the Chair. Amongst the gentlemen who appeared upon the bench, were Lord Arthur Hervey, Sir Digby Mackworth, Colonel Rushbrooke, M. P., Henry Wilson, Esq., M. P., R. Mapletoft, Esq., and the Reverends H. Hasted, Williams, G. Bidwell, G. J. Haggitt, Rickards, Bassett, White, A. Oakes, and Dr. Dicken. His Lordship briefly opened the proceedings by recommending the objects of the Society, and a perusal of the report which would be read to them. He hoped that notwithstanding the withdrawal of the Parliamentary grant, it would be found that the Society would meet with every support. The Rev. H. HASTED then read the report.— The collection in the Guildhall amounted to 141. 14s. A schism has taken place amongst the Baptists in Boston, and a considerable number have, we understand, secede'd from the Chapel. Serious complaints and accusations are made against one or more of the deacons, or rulers, or elders, or whatever else the governors may be termed. The Vicar of Bradford has received a communication from his Majesty's Commissioners for building additional Churches, to the effect that they were prepared with pecuniary aid to meet his appli- cation for the erection of three additional Churches within the parish of Bradford. The following townships have been fixed upon:— Eccleshill, Horton, and Clayton. The Vicar will proceed, without delay, to procure the necessary sites; and we are informed, that the buildings are to be of plain Gothic architecture, and to accommodate about eight hundred persons each. Of course these buildings are independent of those promised to be erected by MATTHEW THOMP- SON and JOHN WOOD, Esquires.— Leeds Intelligencer. The parish Church of Eye, in Suffolk, was broken into on Sunday night, and robbed. The sacrilegious thieves carried off ten yards of crimson silk velvet from the communion table and ten yards of gold lace belonging to the same, five yards of velvet from the pulpit, two gold tassels, and ten yards of gold lace from the velvet cushion. The Churchwardens have offered a reward of 201. for the discovery of the thieves. IRELAND. At an Ordination by the Hon. and Rt.

The Dublin Evening Mail of Monday publishes the following:— Our readers will peruse, with unalloyed delight, the following communication from the Bishop of Exeter to his Grace the Lord Primate of Ireland. The trait of benevolence it records is as unos- tentatious as it is munificent. It is the act, in the simple language of the writer, of a " generous man"— of a humane heart, guided by a truly Christian spirit— an offering which the " God, who seeth'in secret, will openly reward." We would not, if we knew it, withdraw the veil which the piety of this modest Christian has thrown over . his good deeds; but we assure him that many a grateful heart will, in the silent recesses of the closet, utter those " secret prayers" which God loves also to hear, invoking blessings on an unknown bene- factor :— " Liverweal House, Torquay, 19th Nov., 1835. " My Dear Lord Archbishop— I have the gratification to enclose a half bank not for a thousand pounds, which I am requested by a fenerons man, who forbids me to disclose his name, to place at the isposal of your Grace, for the benefit of the distressed Irish Clergy. " Always your Grace's most faithful servant, " His Grace the Lor'd Primate." " H. EXETER. His Grace the Primate has received the munificent donation of ONE THOUSAND POUNDS from Lord Rolle, to be applied by his Grace to the relief of the suffering Irish Clergy. The Lord Primate has also received one thousand pounds from the Worcester Diocesan Subscription for the relief of the suffering Irish Clergy. All other subscriptions sent to him have been transmitted to the London Committee, and acknowledged in their reports. Whilst the people of England are showing their affection and zeal in behalf of the persecuted Church, it maybe well to remind them that the persecution has not ceased in Ireland. Thus the Drogheda Journal states:— " We are informed that a meeting of the farmers of the parish of Clonmore, county of Louth, was lately held, at which they agreed to lay on an acreable assessment for thepurpose of resisting the claims of the Rector, the Rev. H. II. Tighe, whohascommencedproceedings by Exchequer process for the recovery of his tithes." Thursday mnrning a number of the inhabitant householders of the parish of St. Saviour, Southwark, assembled in the Ladye Chapel, for the purpose of devising what steps should be taken in furtherance of the great object of the benevolent, fund now raising for the relief of the suffering Irish Clergy. Chas. Barclay, Esq., M. P., was unani- mously called to the ch'air. The Hon. Chairman, in a brief but eloquent and feeling speech, addressed the meeting, and congratu- lated those who originated the subscriptions on behalf of the Irish Clergy in tha t parish, on the success which had already attended their exertions. He then read a list of the subscriptions that had been received, which amounted to near 2001. Several gentlemen then addressed the meeting, after which a resolution was agreed upon, nominating several respectable parishioners to wait upon their fel- low rate- payers and solicit further charitable donations. A few days ago a Committee was formed at Brighton, to receive subscriptions for the benefit of the Clergy in Ireland; and it is gratifying to find an advertisement in the Brighton Gazette, of Thurs- day, that a sum exceedingl, 0001. had been received in the short space of one week. The efforts in behalf of the Irish Clergy continue to spread and prosper. Liverpool has already followed the example of London, by convening a meeting for that purpose, which took place at- the Music Hall on Tuesday last, the Rev. T. Brooks in the Chair. The meeting was crowded, and the speeches were impressive and eloqu ent. The principal speakers were the Rev. Dr. Campbell and the Rev. Hugh M'Neil. After the preparatory resolutions had been passed, a committee was appointed to receive subscriptions ; the subscription at the doors amounted to the handsome sum of 8081.3s. 5d. A meeting of the Clergy of the archdeaconry and county of Bedford was held at the Swan Inn, Bedford, on Thursday week, for the pur- pose of addressing the Lord Primate of Ireland " on the subject of the distress which now unhappily exists amongst the Irish Clergy, and of opening a subscription for " their relief. The Venerable Archdeacon of Bedford presided. We have great pleasure in announcing that the sum of 3201. 18s. was raised among the Clergy present., and paid before the meeting dispersed. A resolution was passed for soliciting the co- operation of the laity in this work of charity, and a committee was appointed for giving effect to such resolution. On Monday last a meeting was held at the Town Hall, Lancaster, for the purpose of taking measures to relieve the Irish Clergy. A very feeling letter from the Earl of Lincoln, stating his inability to attend the meeting, end expressing his warmest sympathy in its objects, was also read. Upwards of 1381. were subscribed almost instantaneously in the room at the close of the proceedings. At the anniversary of the Hampshire Church of England Society, held at Winchester on the 1st inst., the Lord Bishop in the chair, and at which the Dean, the greater part of the Prebendaries of the Cathedral, and about fifty other Clergymen were present, his Lord- ship called the attention of the meeting to the truly heart- rending state of the Clergy of the Church of Ireland, which he illustrated by details of some of the nuisances and privations under which they are now labouring. His Lordship was followed by the Ven. Archdeacon Hoare, and the Hon. and Rev. Gerard Noel; after which a series of resolutions were adopted, expressing their sympathies for the Irish Clergy; and for the formation of a committee to raise a subscription for their relief. Books were opened, and upwards of 6001. was sub- scribed in the room. BRISTOL.— A meeting in aid of the subscription for the alleviation of the sufferings of the persecuted Clergy in Ireland was held on on Thursday, at the Diocesan School- room in this city. The Bishop of Bristol presided, and after a prayer for the Divine blessing, intro- duced the business of the meeting, and expressed his conviction that the voice of Protestant England would be heard across the Channel, declaring that they who preach the Gospel shall live of the Gospel, and that the labourer in God's vineyard shall receive his reward. His Lordship was followed by Daniel Cave, Esq., Peter Aiken, Esq., the Rev. Dr. Allen ( not a relative of the Bishop), Rev. T. T. Bid- dulph, and others. Many gentlemen who usually attend our public meetings were unavoidably absent, matters of importance calling them elsewhere ; but they were well represented by the munificent sums announced as their contributions. At the close of the pro- ceedings more than 1,0001. was subscribed in the room. GLOUCESTER.— A numerous and highly respectable meeting, con- vened by the Lord Bishop, was held in this city on Tuesday last, to consider of the means of affording relief to the suffering parochial Clergy in Ireland. His Lordship, who was in the chair, addressed the meeting at considerable length, and explained, in forcible and eloquent language, the sad and deplorable state of that portion of our Established Church. The Bishop was followed by the A rchdeacon of Gloucester, Robert Bransby Cooper, Esq., the Rev. Sir George Prevost, Bart., the Rev. W. S. Phillips, the Rev. F. Close, Cnptnin Dilkes, R. N., the Rev. Dr. Hall, Master of Pembroke College, Oxford, and several others. Resolutions were unanimonsly passed for opening a subscription to carry this laudable object into effect, and upwards of 5001. was subscribed in the room. A meeting was held at Rochester last week, on behalf of the dis- tressed Irish Clergy. The Dean and Chapter contributed 1001. in- dependently of distinct donations from the Dean and other members of the Chapter individually. The total amount subscribed was 2301. A similar meeting has been held at Doncaster: amount of subscrip- tions 2401. A meeting with the same objects was held at Durham last week; amount of subscriptions 5001. At Bath, the subscription already received exceeds 1,0001. 400 j o h n b u l l. December 13. STOCK EXCHANGE.— SATURD\ Y. During the week, the Consol Market has fluctuated about % to % percent., the quotation having been from 91 % to 915s. At the close of business this afternoon the price was 91K buyers. Exchequer Bills, after being at 16 to 18, left off at a premium of 15 to 1", and India Bonds at 3. In the Foreign Market there has been considerable excitement among the holders of the Portuguese Bonds, in consequence of the refusal of M. Carboaell, who has hitherto acted as the Portuguese Financial Agent here, since the departure of M. Mendizabal, having refused to accept Bills to the amount of £ 60,000 drawn upon him by the Portuguese Government. On the change of Ministry at Lisbon, it appears that M. Carbonell sent in his resignation as agent, but sufficient time had not elapsed to allow of the Portu- fuese Government knowing of this at the time of the Bills being rawn. Of the above amount, £ 26,000 were in favour of the Bank of Lisbon, and these were accepted by the Portuguese firm of Soares, in honour of that establishment. M. Rothschild, subsequently stated that he would undertake to find funds to meet the remainder of the amount. This affair caused much depreciation in Portuguese Securities, which, for the Five per Cents., fell to 82 and although they have since rallied, they closed heavily at 83W this afternoon ; and for the Three per Cents., at Spanish Bonds are dull, and left off at 4456 ; Mexican Bonds, after being at 39¥, closed this afternoon at 38Columbian are 81% % i Chilian, 44; Brazilian, 84; Belgian, 99X ; Dutch Five per Cents, at 100' S ; and Russian, 107%.

The chief attention of parties connected with the East has been given to the projected Calcutta and Saugor Railway and Harbour Company, by which it is proposed to connect the town of Calcutta with the island of Saugor on some contiguous spot by means of a railway. The navigation of the passage from Saugor to Calcutta is well known for its imminent danger, and in fact no vessel of larger burden than about 500 tons can ascend the Hoogly beyond Diamond Harbour, those of a larger class being compelled to'moor at the mouth of the open river off Saugor, exposed to all the dangers inseparable to such a position. It is intended to build a pier and form a harbour for the reception of ships of all classes, and to erect warehouses for stores, and it is calculated that passengers will be conveyed to Calcutta in three hours, instead of eighteen or twenty, which the transit now occupies, and that at no little peril. The undertaking has attracted much attention from those interested in the trade with our posses- sions in Bengal, and it is generally allowed that the completion of such a work cannot but be iollowed by the preservation of much valuable property and still more valuable lives. 3 per Cent.

It is intended to be produced on a scale of great splendour, with all the original music, arranged under the very able direction of Mr. T. Cooke. Friday night a meeting of letter- carriers was held for the purpose of memorialising the Postmaster- General on the subject of the losses they have sustained in consequence of the receiving- boxes being kept open for an hour later in the evening, and the compensation to which they consider themselves entitled. A memorial to that effect was adopted, and received the signatures of 181 letter- carriers while in the room. CHRISTMAS CATTLE SHOW.— Friday the yard in Goswell- street was opened to the public, and was crowded by visitors the whole of the day. Earl Spencer and several other noblemen and gentlemen came as early as eight o'clock to view the exhibition. At three o'clock a numerous meeting of the members of the Club assembled in the parlour in the yard, Earl Spencer in the chair. A statement of the finances of the Clnb was read by W. Farey, Esq., the Secretary, which represented the Club to be in a prosperous and flourishing state; a great number of new subscribers were entered, and several additioual premiums were proposed for next year's competition.
