W ONDON, 9| h Jan., 1886.— 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 « arly part of last year ; but the communication wa9 intercepted, and not known II within the last few months.

GINGELL, of No. 101, Quadrant, Regent- street, six, doors from Vigo- street, begs to inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Public at large, that he makes BOOTS and SHOES of BUCKSKIN, impervious to water; by his superior mode of preparation he has gainel the patronage of their Graces the Dukes of Norfolk and Buckingham, and a numerons circle of the Nobility and Gentry ; they obtain great advantage over other kind of boots, & c., by being soft, warm, and flexible, and will not harden by wear; they will eradicate all corns and bunions, and rende- the feet sound. W. G. calls the attention of those^ Gentle- j men who suffer from damp feet, to his real Waterproof Boots and Shoes for shooting, walking, and other purposes. W. G. has also invented a Gentleman's j Evening Dress Silk Boot, which for neatnesss, comfort, and convenience, sur- passes anything of the kind ever yet made. REV. MR. CUNNINGHAM AND THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA. AVING been informed by different individuals, and having seen in the report of the Mercury ( with which the report of the. Courant substantially agrees), that the Rev. Mr. CUNNINGHAM, in his speech at the Protestant Meeting held in the Assembly Rooms to- day ( Wednesday), made the following statement:—- " The Meeting all knew a work entitled the Encyclopedia Britannica, and that a new edition of it had been recently begun here, and was now in course of perio- dical publication in parts. At the time this new edition was commenced, certain Papists sent from Ireland a communication to the publisher, suiting, that unless he allowed them to e ise and correct all articles in it connected with, or that had reference to Popery, they would exeitall their influenc e to prevent the circulation of the work in that country. * * * He believed that some concession or com- promise was in consequence made by the proprietors of the work." We, as Publishers of that book, take the earliest opportunity of declaring the whole of the above statement TO BE A PIECE OFTURE FABRICATION FROM BEGINNING TO END, without one particle of truth ; and while we rebut the injurious falsehood for ourselves, we have the authority of Professor Napier, the Editor of the Work, without whose sanction no article can find admittance, and who is responsible for every line in the book, to state, in the strongest possible terms, that not only no such communication was ever made to him, but that NO CATHOLIC EVKR WROTE OR REVISED OR SUGGESTED A SINGLE ARTICLE IN THE ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA. The Proprietors have taken legal steps to protect their property from this unwarrantable attack. ' ADAM and CHARLE- BLACK. - Miscellanea: CHURCH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE.

THE POETRY OF FLOWERS.— The author of Pictures of Private Life ( Miss Stickney) in her new work just published under the title of the Poetry of Life, has a delightfully written chapter on the Poetry of Flowers. We have received unmingled pleasure from the perusal of these valuable volumes, and recommend them to all classes of readers ; they will afford both instruction and delight, and they sup- ply another proof that the female pen can be rigorous as well as graceful. AN APOTHECARY AND A MAN OF FASHION.— For a most cunning development of those traits of character that excite involuntary risibility, no writer ever excelled Captain Marryat, and none of his works have excelled in this respect his new novel Japliet in Search of a Father. It is replete with those adventures and rencontres that show human life in its drollest aspects, and yet all this humour is built upon a base of the most sterling good sense. Japhet in his parental search becomes an apothecary, a man of fashion, a mounte- bank, a gambler, a duellist, a quaker^ « fcc , characters in which the author displays great knowledge of the world. Land and Sea Tales, by the OLD SAILOR, author of Tough Yarns, < fec. The great excellence of this writer's tales are, that they speak home to the experience of every one, with great force of sentiment, and though fictitious, have all the freshness and reality of truth. When out of every day experience a writer can, without violating probability, enchant our attention, and melt the heart; it proves that his imagination is in admirable harmony withsoundness of judgment and propriety of style ; these are eminently our author's character- istics, and tli • popularity of his former works attest the trnth of our criticism. We have oniv to add, that the illustrations, by George Cruikshank, give an additional point of the spirit of these tales, and that altogether, though unassuming in form, price, or pretensions, they outweigh in real value some half dozen of the three- volumed novels that have lately loaded our table. M. Ladvocat's recent visit to London was occasioned by a nego- ciation with the Prince de Canino ( Lucien Bonaparte), for the pub- lication of his Memoirs in French. These are likely to contain many important revelations, not only respecting his own life, but that also of his brother, the late Emperor Napoleon. The work will be pub- lished simultaneously in London by Mr. Bentley, of New Burlington- street, whose house " now, no less than during the time of his prede- cessor, Mr. Colburn, is distinguished for the publication of almost all the authentic French Memoirs. THE O'CONNELL CONSPIRACY.— SO ! the Dictator has attempted to write down Pennenden Heath SHIEL, as " a mighty great ," by impudently saying, in his last letter to " the Men of Westminster," that u the assertion that such a coalition" ( as that of Lichfield House) " was entered into is utterly false, to the full knowledge ofthose who so assert; and their assertion, therefore, is base and unprincipled." Now, as Mr. Richard Shiel was the first who made the assertion, it fol- lowst hat, if any man has been guilty of " utter falsehood to his own full knowledge," Shiel must be the man, for the assertion, however " base and unprincipled" Mr. O'Connell has pronounced it to be, was his, as exclusively, as it was voluntarily made. But no man in his sober senses can doubt its truth ; or if any such be yet sceptical, they need only read the clever and severe Reflections on the O'Con- nell " Alliance;" or Lichfield House Conspiracy, just issued from the press. The palpable and undisguisable facts of the case ; the conflicting sta tements of Mr. Shiel and of Lord John Russell; the ar bitrary direction and control of all Ministerial power by O'Connell, and the miserable shifts and subterfuges by which Ministers have en- deavoured to evade the damning proofs of the coalition, are placed so admirably and so forcibly in juxta- position in this publication, as to establish," beyond the possibility of refutation, such a " foregone conclusion," as must for ever set the question at rest, and over- whelm the Melbourne Administration with confusion and disgrace. NEW YEAR'S GIFTS.— The present season is hallowed by one of the most delightful offices of friendship and affection— the interchange of gifts, as remembrances of the donors, and tokens of their esteem for the receivers. While large sums are expended upon the most costly baubles and elegant trifles, we would remind our readers that no more appropriate present can be made at this season of the year than a package of Rowland's Macassar Oil, or Kalydor, combining, as both these articles do, the most sterling utility with elegance and luxury. The Gloucester annual Conservative dinner took place on St. Thomas's Day, at the New Inn, when about 200 sat down to good old English fare. Wm. COTHER, Esq., President, and EDWARD WASHBOURNE, Esq., Vice- President. It was resolved that an asso- ciation be formed, to be Called the Gloucester Conservative Union Association, and that a Committee be speedily formed for carrying the resolution into effect.— Bristol Journal. The Hampshire Advertiser gives the following as a seaman's definition of a Radical:— Last Sunday morning the Minister of a Chapel at Portsmouth inquired of one of his audience, who had just returned from America, whether he had been comfortable since he left England, and whether he had pleasant shipma! es ? " Yes," he replied, " with the exception of one who was a Radical." The Minister was sur- prised by this remark, for he was quitesure theseaman knew nothing of politics, having known him some years. He inquired of the sailor what was understood by a Radical on board ship. " Why, a man that gets drunk, swears, kicks up a row, ridicules religion, and finds fault with every one but himselt." Mr. MOORE, Vicar of Bannow, in the county of Wexford, has had occasion to call, in somewhat peremptory terms, for the arrears of two years' tithes due from his benefice. Writing to a Mr. FFRENCH, of his parish, he informs him that, in default of an immediate com- pliance with his demand, he must have recourse to the Court of Exchequer. The parishioner sends him an answer as long as any bill in the Exchequer, the cream of which is contained in the follow- ing sentences :— " Rev. Sir,— I have no hesitation in assuring you that I never will pay you, even the smallest sum, in any shape as tithes. « • * 1 have troubled you, I fear, at too great a length, for which I trust you will kindly excuse me ; and I beg to assure you that I will not, nor never will have any personal feeling against you. Whatever your conduct may be towards me, I shall always treat you as a good neighbour, and oblige you in every manner" I possibly can; and wishing you all til • compliments of the season— a merry Christmas and a happy new year— I remain your obedient, humble servant, and a determined liate'r of tithes, " LAURENCE FFRENCH." PEDDLING ECONOMY OF THE RADICALS.— The Liberals (!) seem to have a predilection for darkness; they put the gas altogether out 5? ?'? J •' they have most miserably reduced it in St. Martin's- in- tne- nelds; and in the parishes of Peckham and Camberwell they have abolished the gas altogether, and substituted a miserable apology called naphtha," which neither gives a good light nor supplies a wholesome darkness. All this is done in the true spirit of" Radical economy. A public meeting of. the rate- payers of Camberwell will shortly be called; when it is determined to take the matter into their own hands, as far as they can legally do so.— Herald. DREADFUL CONFLAGRATION AT NEW YORK. ( From the New York Transcript of Dec. 18.) Tn mentioning in our paper of yesterday the breaking out of an aw- ful conflagration in Merchant- street, and its extension from thence to the East River, sweeping everything into wide ruin before it, we expressed our apprehensions that it would not be stayed until the de- vastion was still more extensive, and until it had numbered among the wrecks which it had made numerous large and splendid edifices, besides those included in the range of buildings which we described as having already been levelled with the ground. Our apprehensions, we lament to say, were too fearfully realised. To the blocks of buildings and streets which we represented as then being in flames, many, very many others were added, the particulars j of which, as far as we are'able, " with the assistance of some of our contemporaries, to gather them, we now proceed to state. The tire broke out in Merchant- street on the loth of December, in the triangular block formed by Wall, William, and Pearl- streets, at about nine o'clock. A fierce wind was blowing from the NAY., and the weather so intensely cold as to render the efficient working of the engines impossible. The consequence was that the fire held the mastery through the night, spreading with great and destructive rapidity. The arm of man was powerless, and many of our fellow- | citizens who retired to their pillow in affluence were bankrupts on awaking. The fact of the powerlessness of the firemen, from the almost in- ! stantaneous congelation of the water, and the benumbing influence I of the cold, increased the consternation which prevailed among the thousands of the agitated multitude who were witnesses of the cala- mity— many of them doomed to stand and see the destruction of their own fortunes, without being able to lift a finger for their rescue. To arrest tile flames at one time seemed to us impossible, save by the blowing- up of ranges of buildings in advance of the fire, that its progress might thus be interrupted. But the difficulty was to obtain powder, none of consequence being allowed in the city. A sufficient supply, therefore, could not be obtained short of the Navy- yard— | whence, also, the Mayor was obliged to send for a strong military force, to preserve property from the swarms of robbers who are ever ! ready on such occasions. Such was the confusion that prevailed, and such the difficulty of working one's way among the smoke, and fire, and heated ruins, that it is impossible to detail particulars with any pretension to accu- \ racy. We give the following as the best result that we could arrive a t from personal observations and by consulting the map :— South side of Wall- street, from William- street to East River, in- cluding the Merchants' Exchange, and excepting some three or four buildings between Merchant- street ( formerly Hanover) and Pearl. Also from William to Broad, buildings not destroyed, but injured in I the rear. Exchange- street, both sides, from Broad- street, crossing William to Merchant- street; the Garden- street Church was embraced in this section. Merchant- street ( formerly Hanover) both sides, from Wall to Hanover- square. William- street, both sides, from Wall- street to Hanover- square. Pearl- street, both sides, from Wall- street to Coenties- slip, including the whole sweep of Hanover- square. Stone- street, from H anover- square to the lane leading to the end of Coenties- slip. Exchange- street and part of Beaver- street, from Pearl nearly to Broad. Water- street, both sides, from Coffee- house- slip to Coenties- slip. South- street, from Coffee- house- slip to Coenties- slip. South side of Coffee- house- slip, from Pearl- street to the East River. Both sides of Old- slip ( including the Franklin- market), from Pearl- street to the East River. North side of Coenties- slip, from Pearl- street to the river. Jones's- lane, Gouveneur's- lane, Cuyler's- alley, andpartofMill- st. Seventeen blocks of buildings, of the largest and most costly de- scription, are totally destroyed ; the large block between Wall- street and Exchange- place, bounded on the west by Broad- street, that be- tween Exchange- place and Beaver- street, fronting on Broad- street., and that between Beaver and Mills- streets, also fronting on Broad, are greatly injured, and may almost be said to be destroyed— except the single raiige of stores fronting on Broad- street. The number of buildings it is impossible to ascertain, but it is estimated between 700 and 1,000. The amount of property destroyed is incalculable. Those acquainted with our city will at once perceive that nearly the entire seat of its greatest commercial transactions has been destroyed. It is not probable that the destruction of any given section of any i other city in the w- orld, of equal extent, would have. involved a greater destruction of capital, or mined the fortunes of a. greater number of men. The destruction of goods, of every description that can be i enumerated, has been immense; and what yet further magnifies the ! calamity is the fact, that the portion of the city thus destroyed, is one [ which has been almost entirely rebuilt within the lost five or six years, and was covered on every hand with the most noble and sub- stantial ranges of mercantile edifices perhaps in the world. I Before the gunpowder was used in blowing up houses, there were many loud reports from occasional explosions of powder and casks of spirits. During the whole night the scene was one of awful terror i and indescribable grandeur. The drought of the season had contri- i buted to the combustibility of the matter, and the rapidity with which house after house, and range after range, were wrapped in flames was truly astonishing. The wind being high, . large flakes of fire were borne whirling aloft through the dark vault of heaven with fearful splendour. From the direction of the wind— to which, under Providence, the salvation of perhaps the whole city is owing— the city of Brooklyn was considered in danger, and the flakes of fire were borne along in quantities beyond Flattbush. The buildings on Exchange- place having become involved in the conflagration, the flames communicated to the Merchants' Exchange | itself, the exemption of which had been so strongly confided in that a la » ge amount of goods was deposited there forsafety. Beforethese could be removed, and the numerous tenants of the edifice could remove their private property, the fie communicated to the roof, and this soon falling in, carried with it the wall at. the east end of the building, beneath which several persons are said to have been buried alive. The splendid dome of the Exchange, after sending columns of flames to an immense height for half on hour, until it was reduced to a body of fire, fell in with a tremendous crash, burying the elegant statue of Hamilton in the ruins, j At the time the fire in Pearl- street reached Hanover- square, the large space of ground was filled with piece goods promiscuously : piled together, and much of this property was of the most valuable kind. So unexpectedly and rapidly did the flames extend on both sides of the square, that an unsuccessful attempt was made to remove it, for much of it was destroyed in the street, and the residue, though deposited at a still greater distance in stores and otherwise, was j shortly afterwards consumed. Dr. Matthew's Church had been made a depository for goods in the early part of the fire, which were of course entirely consumed with the building, leaving nothing but the bare walls. With the Exchange, the public has sustained a loss in the Fine 1 Arts which is greatly to be regretted. We refer to the statue of Ha- milton, erected by the munificence of our merchants during the pre- sent year, in the centre of the rotunda of that building. That which was designed to remain for ages is in eight mouths precipitated from its pedestal, and is mixed with the ruins of that ill- fated structure it was erected to adorn. The mere amount of property wasted and destroyed, not by the flames, but in the confusion, and hurry, and desperation of the time, is probably equal to the entire loss at ordinary fires. 11 is lamentable to see the piles of costly furniture— rich mahogany tables with mar- ble tops, sideboards, sofas, < fcc. & c., broken and heaped up like worthless rubbish; rich merchandises, silks, satins, broadcloths, fine • muslins, and every species of fancy goods, trampled under foot; packages half burnt; boxes of cutlery and hardware bnrst open, and their contents scattered in the mud ; bottles of wine broken ; and, in short, thousands upon thousands and tens of thousands of dollars lying I wasted around, in the form of ruined merchandises. Carmen and porters were heaping goods upon carts, barrows, in coaches and omnibuses. The Battery and Bowling Green were J thickly studded with piles of goods, some in box « s, others just as they | were " snatched from the shelves. Marines with fixed bayonets pat- i rolling amongst them for protection against manre. ders, and all eyes fixed upon the volumes of dense black smoke, whirling awav before the wind— flames darting and roaring from the roofs and windows of whole streets— walls tumbling to the ground, and the firemen worn out with their exertions and almost discouraged from further efforts, vainly striving to make head against the flames, which seemed to mock all human skill and power. Amidst this dreadful destruction, we are happy to announce that the shipping have not sustained any material injury. Jn all cases of great public or individual calamities, especially 1 those occasioning loss of property, the first impressions, and first re- ports, are of course greatly exaggerated. The calamity is, indeed, a terrible one, and the losses will be immense. But still we are war- ranted in the belief that the burden will principally fall in such a manner that it will be borne without shaking theoredit of the city, or checking its prosperity for any length of time. We take it for granted— nay, it is admitted on all hands— that the Fire Insurance Companies are all ruined. Some will not be able to pay fifty cents, on the dollar of their policies, and others, perhaps, not more than twenty- five— while others may be rathermore fortunate. But yet the condition of things is not by far so bad as many who are not on the spot imagine, and not by any means as deplorable as will be represented abroad. A number of gentlemen, well known as able and cool calculators, estimatethe amount of loss tobe not more than twenty- five millions of dollars. The total amount of capital lield by the whole of the Fire Insurance Companies in this city does not amount tomore than ten millions. The calculation is that about six hundred stores have been consumed, the insurance of which does not average more than six or seven thousand dollars upon each. Some of our contemporaries are of opinion that the disaster could not. have occurred at a more fortunate period, because, as they al- lege, the autumnal sales will have materially reduced the stock of the different dry good stores. On this subject we differ from them in ioto, believing that, in anticipation of a war with France, the import- ers have made much more extensive purchases of late than they have previously been accustomed to do, and had, consequently, at the breaking out of the fire, a larger amount of goods than usual. .. Among the rumours which were afloat.^ yesterday morning, was one that the fire was the work of an incendiary. There was another that a fellow was seen early in the morning to set fire to a house in Broad- street. The fire was not effectually checked until about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, it having continued to burn up to that time from its commencement ( eighteen hours) with the most fierce and fatal rapiditv. The Mayor issued a proclamation yesterday calling upon such of the citizens as had leisure to form themselves into a patrole for the protection and preservation of the large amount of property now strewed about the streets, and which else might be scattered to the four winds of Heaven.

Memorandum.— His Majesty has been giaciously pleased to permit the 39th Regiment of Foot to resume on it- colours and appointments, the motto " Primus in Indis," ill consideration of its having been the first of the King's Regiments which served in India, it having embarked in the year 1754, and returned to Ireland in the year 1758. His Majesty has been also pleased to permit the regiment to resume the word " Plassey," in commemoration of the gallantry displayed by the regiment at the battle of Plassey, on the 5th of February, 1757, when serving with the English troops under Colonel, afterwards Lord, Clive. His Majesty has likewise been pleased to permit the 39th regiment to bear the Castle and Key, in addition to the word " Gibraltar," which, with the 12th, 56th, and 58th regiments, it has already been permitted to bear on its colours and appointments, in commemoration of the gallantry displayed by those regi- ments in the memorable defence of Gibraltar in 1782.

The Learned Knight was most warmly congratulated, both by Judges and Counsel, on his re- appearance yesterday in the Exchequer Chamber. On Wednesday the Dnke and Duchess of St. ALBANS were to have entertained a numerous party of friends at dinner, and to have given a grand ball in the evening; but we regret to say that the Duke became so seriously indisposed in the morning, that the Twelfth Night festivities were effectually prevented, and cards were sent out to announce the postponement of the party. The answer to inquiries in Stratton- street, on Thursday, was, that his Grace was rather better, though still exceedingly indisposed. His Holiness the POPE is suffering from a polypus of the nose; and Professor BARONI, a distinguished surgeon of Milan, has been called in all haste to Rome to operate on it. By the premature death of the young Viscount BROME, only son of Earl CORNWALLIS, at Linton Place, his sister, Lady JEMIMA WYKEHAM MARTIN, becomes the sole heiress of the Noble Earl, who inherits the estates of his uncle, the late Sir HORACE MARTIN, whose name has been assumed by his Lordship. We understand that the West Cork Mining Company, established under an Act of Parliament last Session, is in a most thriving state, rich veins of copper having been discovered within seven feet of the surface. This produce has been sold at Swansea at 121.17s. 6d. per ton. What renders the success of this undertaking so very desirable s, the employment it gives to several hundreds of the neighbouring peasantry, who before were in a state of destitution. THE REVENUE.— The official tables of the revenue for the quarter ended on Tuesday, present the same result as their predecessors have done for some time past— namely, a defalcation upon the whole financial year, as compared with the corresponding preceding one, but an advantage upon the last quarter. The falling off upon the year appears to be 613,0691., whilst the increase upon the quarter is stated at 172,967. The head under which the inferiority most con- spicuously appears, as compared with the last returns, is that of the " Assessed Taxes," in which there is, for the year, a falling off of 874,0911. ; and for the quarter, of 57,4741. The Customs boast an increase of 1,686,2111. upon the year, and of 214,6941. upon the quarter, over the former periods; but against these is to be placed the falling off in the Excise, which, as regards the year, is 1,621,2951., and in the quarter, 136,4371., leaving, how- ever, the advantage in favour of the revenue generally, to the amount of 64,9161. upon the year, and of 78,2571. upon the quarter. The revenues of the Post- office are better upon the year and quarter severally than they were last year, by 57,0001. and 22,0001. respective- ly ; and'the " Miscellaneous" show an improvement upon the year of 2,9471., but a falling off, as regards the quarter, of 16,8711. The chief result appears to be influenced entirely by the non- productiveness of the Assessed Taxes. The probable amount of Exchequer Bills to meet the exigencies of the current quarter is estimated in these re- turns at 4,640,9951.

FOR 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 tbe most safe and effectual remedy for Coughs, and all disordersof 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 luncr* are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Consrhs, 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 3g. 6d.' each, by F. Newbery and Sons, 45, St. Paul's Church- yard ; J, Sanger, 150. Oxford- street; a'nd in most c'oun- try towns.— Observe, the name F. Newbury. - 15. St. Paul's, is engraved in the Stamp.

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. • In four volumes, 8vo., price 31., a New Edition of THE HISTORY of EUROPE, from the Commencement of the French Revolution to the Restoration of the Bourbons. By ARCHI- BALD ALISON, F. R. S. E., Advocate. These volumes bring the History down to the Assumption of the Imperial Crown by Napoleon in 1804. Vols. V. and VI., which complete the Work, are in the press. " These volumes narrate the events with an animation perfectly consistent with simplicity.

An Institution having for its object'the protection of Families from the vicissi- tudes of fortune, by enabling Parents, at a small comparative outlay, to « ecure to their Children a certain provision on their attaining a criven age. must be consi- dered a benefit to the community, and deserving of being placed in the first rank of provident and philanthropic institutions. Such i> the object of the Family Endowment Society, which will provide for all the children of a family at a period when a provision becomes always serviceable, and frequently indispensable. To accomplish an Object so desirable, this Society will, at or after the time of marriage, endow every future child of such marriage, payable on each child's completingany agreed year of age from 14 to 21 ; endow every future male child or every future female child : endow children actually born previously to the date of the contract; and, if preferred, endow such actually born children at an in- creased rate of premium, which shall be returnable if tbe child does not attain the age of endowment. In order to afford every facility to the public, the premium may be paid, at the option of the parties, eitherin one sum at the time of contracting, or by annual sums, payable during any term of years not exceeding the age of endowment, de- pendent on the life of the husband only, or of the wife only, or on the joint lives of the husband and wife. The Tables are calculatedfor all ages, and for every combination of age, and the following extracts will sufficiently illustrate the subject:— Annual Premiums, for assuring the sum of J^ IOO to each Child, payable on com- pleting its 14th or 21st year On completing 14 years.

" WFTORTON'S trulv valuable CAMOMILE PILLS, for IND1- GESTION, & c.— These Pills are a pure extract of Camomile Flowers, pre- pared by a peculiar process, by which all the medicinal properties of rather more than one ounce of the flowers are concentrated into four moderate- sized Pills ; they are mild in operation, and have proved wonderfully successful in removing every symptom of indigestion, sick head ache, loss of appetite, giddiness, heart- bum, costiveness, eruptions of the skin, and all complaints arising from a disor- dered state of the digestive organs; they require no alteration of diet, and their operation will be found so beneficial in giving tone to the stomach, regulating the bowels, and in promoting a healthy habit, as fully to convince all who take them of their great utility. Persons who have suffered from indigestion for se- veral years, have, by theif use, in a few weeks perfectly recovered, which is a convincing proof, that in the smallest compass is contained the largest quantity of tonic principle, of so peculiar a nature as to pervade the whole system, through which it diffuses health and strength.— Sold by A. Willoughby and Co. ( late B.

BURKIDGK and HEALY, being the original Manufacturers of the above Apparatus, after- great experience, can safely recommend it as the best mode of Warming and Ventilation. The advantages possessed by this Apparatus over all other modes of conveying artiiicial warmtii are— lst, its economy in fuel ; 2dly, its perfect safety from fire ( in proof of this it is highly recommended by the Assurance Offices, several of which have been warmed by B. and H.; 3aly, 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 i? 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- ctreet. rjHOUPEES SUPERSEDING PERUKES.— Gentlemen's Tou- JL pees, the completest and most natural articles of taste, attended with t- he least trouble to the wearer, ever offered to the public ; and as the weight chiefly consists in the quantity of hair, the Toupee can be made to any lightness, the spring and frame- work weighing only 2| drachms.

His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND is expected in England in about a fortnight. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA'will return to Kensington Palace on Wednesday. Prince GEORGE of CAMBRIDGE is on a visit ( o the Earl and Countess of BROWNLOW, at Belton House, near Grant- ham. WK should he glad to know what the electors of the county of Kildare think of the proceedings of their Representative, Mr. RUTHVEN, jun., with regard to the transformation of a well- known winning English horse into a young untried Irish filly, as proven and decided by the Irish Turf Club ? Mr. RUTHVEN swears he bred CAROLINE, a filly, declared to be two years of age, which CAROLINE is identified to be BEC- ASSINE, a three- year old filly, which had run at Newmarket, was sold by Mr. PAYNE to Mr. OSBALDESTON in July, and carried overby Mr. KENNETH RUTHVEN, under the name of JONES, from Liverpool to Dublin, and subsequently ran and won at the Curragh, under the new name of CAROLINE. What Brookes's Club may do— if Mr. E. RUTHVEN is a member of that society— we cannot pretend to say ; but we suppose Mr. RUTHVEN'S present constituents will hint to him the necessity of resigning his seat in Parliament. Mr. RUTHVEN, sen..' talks of law. and hints that legal proceed- ings will set all to rights. How? It is proven, sworn to, and decided, ( hat CAROLINE of the Curragh, is BECASSINE of Newmarket; and let what may have been done in the way of jockeyship to impose upon the innocent Mr. E. RUTHVEN, the devil himself could not have made him believe that he bad himself bred a filly of ( wo years old, which arrived per steam- boat from Liverpool, with something like a four- year old mark in her mouth. Mr. RUTHVEN'S father is still Member for Dublin, and so still is Mr. O'CONNELL, merely through the Whig shuffle of appointing a Commission of Procrastination in that city, at the close of whose proceedings they will in all probability be ousted. This, we should think, will settle the affair of the RUTHVENS. But Mr. O'CONNELL has a sou, who is also a Member of Parliament, and sits for Youghall— What do his constituents thim of him, or of his not resigning his seat ? which certainly, as a measure of prudence, he might advantageously do, the first day of the Session. Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL went to the table of the House of Commons, and swore to do strict and impartial justice as a Member of the Committee on the Carlow election, having in his pocket at the same moment a cheque of RAPHAEL'S for one thousand pounds, paid to him on his father's account, as the condition of seating Mr. RA- PHAEL for that very place. What will the electors of Youghall think of Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, if he do not— as Mr. E. RUTHVEN, we con- clude, w ill— relinquish his seat ? But whether these gentlemen resign or not, will the People of England suffer these things to go on and prosper ?— will the House of Commons, where the voice of the People must be heard, permit the interests and the destinies of the empire to be left at the will and power of a detached body, composed of men like these ? Will they endure that England shall be degraded, betrayed, and destroyed by a sordid contract, en- tered into between the Beggarmau, O'CONNELL, and the Placeman. MELBOURNE? Lord MELBOURNE has denied the existence of any such understanding between himself and O'CONNELL, and " shud- ders at the gross idea," and talks of" touching pitch."' This is very fine, and, moreover, literally very true— because, actual communication between the Premier and O'CONNELL, there may have been none. But is Lord DUNCANNON so afraid of " touching pitch?"— is Mr. EDWARD ELLICE SO afraid of pitch ? We think not: Lord MULGRAVE has shown that he is not-— and we could exhibit to our readers a whole worshipful company of " Pitch- touchers," who are ready to do Lord MELBOURNE'S dirty work for him, as dinners are dressed at taverns, on the shortest notice. But does Lord MELBOURNE really believe that he escapes either the disgrace or responsibility of all these proceedings, merely because he uses the dirty paws of his subalterns to carry them on ? If he do, he is wofully mistaken. If Lord MELBOURNE agrees to keep his pauper colleagues in office by such an infamous bargain— if. to use the epigrammatic phrase ofthe cleverest joint of O'CONNELL'S tail, " We, the Roman Catholic Radicals, lend you Downing- street, and you, the Whig Government, pay us the rent by giving us up the Irish Established Church"— is it, we say, one bit more creditable or less disgraceful to Lord MELBOURNE, because he is not the actual negociator of such terms in person ? Is it because Lord DUNCANNON, Lord MELBOURNE'S brother- in- law and col- league, transacts the business of go- between, that Lord MELBOURNE is justified in declaring upon the honour of a Peer, that he has 110 dealing with O'CONNELL ?— Why, Mr. EDWARD RUTHVEN might as well swear he had no dealing with Mr. OSBALDESTON, when he bought Becassine of him, because it was his brother KENNETH who went to fetch the filly. Lord MELBOURNE, personally, did not send O'CONNELL to Edinburgh, to attack the House of Lords; nor did he person- ally direct Mr. Fox MAULF. to entreat the Scotch Whigs to " touch pitch," and meet O'CONNELL at dinner. His Lord- ship knew nothing of the " pitch- touching" Lord Lieutenant's reception of O'CONNELL at dinner in the King's Castle of Dublin, immediately after he had called that King's brother " a mighty great liar.' 1'' Nor does he know of the attacks made by the English and Irish Attorneys- General upon the House of Lords, of wh'ch be is himself a member; nor ofany ofthe proceedings which have been going 011 for the last four months. If Lord MELBOURNE will declarean utter ignorance of all these matters, then, we say, Lord MELBOURNE has a just right to shudder at " touching pitch," and declare that he has nothing to do with O'CONNELL, and that he never was in communication with him respecting any contract, con- dition. or compromise for the support of the Tail. We have before said, we pity Lord MELBOURNE, because we know how he is situated— how bound, how manacled; but, if his disgust at the position in which he has placed himself induces him to use declarations of his innocence as to a par- ticipation in the infamous bargain by which our Constitution is now selling piece- meal to our worst enemies, stronger than those which fie wade of adherence to his hungry and impor. I tuuate colleagues, he had better violate the pledge be was induced to give them, and quit the Government, rather than remain in office at the risk of bis respectability, and the sacrifice of that, which has hitherto been held most dear and sacred by all bis order ( save one or two), and by none more so, than by his Lordship himself. If. however, lie chooses to continue Minister for the sake of others, we cauuot do his Lordship a greater favour than to recommend to his peculiar care and intimate friendship the Honourable Members for the county of Kildare and the town of Youghall, who have, in the proceedings which we have just noticed, evinced a readiness and activity which, combined w ith their other self- evident qualities, cannot fail to render them most efficient members of a Government of which Lord MELBOURNE is the nominal, and Mr. O'CON- NELL the real. Premier. THE following truly apostolic epistle has been transmitted from the Bishops and Clergy ofthe Scottish Episcopal Church to his Grace the Primate of Ireland. Whether we regard the position of the body which sends, or the fortunes of that which receives the communication ; whether we examine the style of the letter itself, or turn our attention to the vene- rable person whose signature it bears, we must say, that a more primitive and touching document it has never be, our good fortune to bring under the notice of our readers. To the Archbishops, the Bishops, and Clergy of that portion of the United Church of England and Ireland, which is by law estab- lished in Ireland. We, the Bishops and Clergy of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Scotland, during this dark hour of trouble and anguish to our sis- ter Church of Ireland, hasten to assure the Bishops and Pastors of that pure branch of Christ's Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church of the lively interest which we take in the sufferings of a body of men, on whose heads, throughno fault of their own, the waters ofaffiiction have been poured out. Ourselves being the descendants or successors of men who suffered long under nnmerited persecution, we should, indeed, be undeserving of the rest which the Lord, in these latter days, hatli given us, were we capable of beholding, without deep regret, similar persecutions directed against you; or of ceasing to present our supplications by day and by night to the Divine Head of the Church, that it will please Him, as far as may be consistent with His own glory and the Church's good, to shorten the period of your trial. Yet are we not without grounds of consolation, in the midst of our anxiety on your account, when we behold the meekness and Christian fortitude with which your numerous tribulations are borne. By your patience, by your unwavering adherence to the cause of Gospel- truth, by your continued and faithful execution of the trusts which our common Master hath committed to your keeping, ye have de- served, and ye possess the respect of the whole Christian world; nor can we doubt that HE in whose hand the issues of events repose, will in his own appointed season reward your zeal and constancy, by delivering you out of all your troubles. Brethren, it hath pleased Divine Providence so to order our worldly matters, that except by the prayers which we offer up in your behalf our ability to serve you is small; but the little which we can do, we will endeavour, with God's help, to do effectually. We have exhorted our several congregations to contribute, as far as their means will allow, towards the alleviation of your immediate distress, and we will transmit the amount of the collections thus made, with as little delay as possible, through your venerated Primate. Assuring you once more of our unfeigned sympathy, and beseech- ing you to pray for us that we may continue steadfast unto the end, we commend you to the keepingof HIM who IS abundantly able to save, and who, according to his own most gracious promise, will never permit the gates of Hell to prevail againt the Church which was founded in His own blood, and of which ye are the faithful Ministers and Stewards. Given at Stirling, this 29| h day of December, in the year of Lord 1835, and signed on behalf of all the Bishops and Clergy of the Scottish Episcopal Church, by me, GEO. GLEIG, LL. D., BISHOP of BRECHIN, and PRIMUS. WE have to- day to announce the infliction of a dreadful calamity which has fallen upon the flourishing city of New York. The details, as we find them best given in a New York paper of the 16th of December, will be found in another part of our paper. EXCEPT the settlement ofthe American question, after all the fanfaronade of LA JEUNE FRANCE ( vide Mrs. TROL- LOPE), there is nothing of any interest from Paris. FIESCHI, we suppose, is not considered fat enough yet for killing, else why the devoted murderer should remain in his coop we do not pretend to guess. The marriage of the de facto Queen of PORTUGAL with Prince FERDINAND of SAXE COBURG is to be celebrated at Lisbon on the 31st inst., but as his Highness is rather of indolent habits, the affair is to be done by proxy, the Duke of TERCEIRA having kindly undertaken that character. The real SIMON PURE is not expected to arrive at Lisbon till May. This, as his Highness might if he chose go and take his own part this day three weeks, looks as if the prospect of happiness with the young widow had no very great attractions for him. The latest accounts from Spain are in the highest degree favourable to the KING'S cause. I11 addition to the fortune of war, the poor auxiliaries have miseries innumerable to endure. The following is an extract of a letter from an officer of the Medical Staff', dated Santander, Jan. 1, 1836:— " The James Watt is this minute leaving the port. I avail myself ofthe opportunity to say a few words— more I cannot do, for 1 am beyond pelipf pressed and hurried for time. The fever has attacked us in this town in a most serious manner. Of the unfortunate Eng- lish troops, upwards of one hundred have died ill less than a month." New miseries and misfortunes appear to assail the deluded adventurers, and while things are going 011 gloomily for the Christiuos and their hired allies, all over the country, M. MENDIZABAL seems to be in the middle of embarrassments in the capital; his air- built castles totter, and the evidences of the real feeling of the people in favour of the KING, become too strong for concealment. In fact, the letters of the most violent Queenites declare that, without an open intervention, the KING is sure of his throne. The Portuguese contingent have refused to enter Spain, and several officers have been shot by theirinen for attempting to compel their proceeding to join the Queen's troops. Mr. O'CONNELL has shot his bolt at Sir FRANCIS BUR- DETT through the medium of a letter to the Electors of Westminster. Such a bolt, the. proverb says, is soon shot— it is long, dull, and dirty, and is remarkable for nothing but omitting to notice every point, which, to he effective, it ought to have noticed. If Mr. O'CONNELL, and ANDREW JACK- SON, Esq., the Citizen- King of America, were to abbreviate their letters and messages, they would find them more at- tended to. The present tirade of the agitator's is below remark, attention, or criticism. ANOTHER triumph— at least a negative one— has been achieved by the Conservatives in West Gloucestershire. Like FIELDING'S hero, we may exclaim— " Thus far with victory our arms are crown'd; For, though we have not longht, yet have we found No foe to fight withal." Mr. BLAGDEN HALE, the only candidate, was proposed in an admirable speech by Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, and seconded by Mr. SAMPSON, of Henbory. No opposition being offered, Mr. HALE was declared duly elected, and re- turned thanks in a suitable address. Mr. HALE alluded to tin? undeniable alteration which had taken place in popular feeling, and which had induced the Reform candidate to withdraw almost immediately after he had announced himself. " What," said Mr. HALE, " is ( he cause of this remarkable change in the minds of men ? Gen- tlemen, I will tell you. The Protestant spirit of England. The Protestant and Conservative spirit of the nation, which will not endure that our destinies should be confided to the control of a person whose sole purpose is the subversion of the Church and the destruction of the House of Lords. That national spirit lias already declared itself in Devonshire, Staffordshire, Northamptonshire, and Devizes, and now declares itself so plainly here. It is the spirit of the people recovering from the effects of delusion and deceit, which will once more place the country in independence, and set at defiance the domination of O'CONNELL. Gentlemen;" added Mr. HALE, " I have told you in my address that I will most readily and cheerfully support any measure which may be brought forward for the real improvement of the country, but that I will oppose all measures that have a tendency to destroy our best institutions." This address was received with the loudest applause, and after thanks had been voted to the High Sheriff, upon the motion of Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, the meeting broke up, and Captain ACHF. RLY, who had made his appearance in a carriage bearing a " green and yellow melancholy" flag, and containing a respectable brewer and a worthy clothier, all ready to propose and second him, quitted the scene per- fectly satisfied that the electors of West Gloucestershire' sought 110 change— " And, least of all, such change as he would bring them." It will be seen that a requisition from nearly 1,600 electors of Marylebone has been forwarded to Lord TEIGNMOUTH soliciting his Lordship to " come to the rescue" of that new- fangled lioiough, and permit himself to be put in nomination upon the declaration of the vacancy caused by the appoint- ment of its late most attentive and assiduous Representative, Mr. HENRY LYTTON BULWER to a Secretaryship of Lega- tion at Brussels. THE following article of intelligence we find in yesterday's Northampton Herald, from the Bedford correspondent of that excellent paper. IRISH CLERGY.— His Grace the Duke of BEDFORD has written to the Committee for the relief of the distressed Irish Clergy, informing them that his Grace cannot consent to his name appearing on the list of subscribers for their relief. This persecuted and undeservedly suffering class does not it appears merit the sympathy or considera- tion of a subscriber to Hone, tfec. Considering that the greatest part of this venerable per- sonage's property consists of the spoils of the Church, we think this intimation is about as wise as it is generous. Most pro- bably it is not the poor old man's own doing. BY the Jamaica papers we perceive that Lord SLIGO, now that the elections are over, and his new Parliament returned, has discovered, greatly to his Excellency's horror and amaze- ment, that the facts and statements contained in his Excel- lency's Speech to the last Parliament, are all erroneous and ill- founded. We told his Excellency so, three months ago, and published in this paper the true statements which we had received even before bis Excellency made the flourishing speech, the words of which his Excellency is now forced to swallow. It certainly does appear very strange that the Governor of a Colony, with " all appliances and means to boot," should be imposed upon by false statements 011 the spot, and induced upon their evidence to congratulate the people upon the flou- rishing state of their trade and commerce, when we, here in England, with neither official advantages nor official autho- rity, were in actual possession of the genuine records of the' Island; which records clearly, distinctly, and officially con- tradicted his Excellency's statements. Lord SLIGO'S repu- tation for strictness in truth, and the reliance which every action of his life has induced everybody to place upon his bare assertion, were adduced to us in opposition to our state- ment, and we began to think that WE had been imposed upon. But no— his Excellency^ now that the brag and boastcan have 110 further effect, discovers and admits that all he had the pleasure of saying about Colonial prosperity, was sheer non- sense; and this, his Excellency admits, in a Message to the House of Assembly, transmitted in due form by his young Secretary NUNES." This Message we think it right to publish :— FRIDAY DAY, NOV. 13—( sic orig.) Mr. Secretary NCNES brought down the following six messages from his Excellency the Governor:— Mr. SPEAKER, I am commanded by his Excellency the Governor to lay before the house, an amended Comparative Return of Exports of Sugar and Rum for twelve months, terminating 1st of August, 1835. The Returns received from the officers of Customs, made upto the 1st of July in those years, and upon which his Excellency founded his statement of the apparent falling off of 4,444 hogsheads, exclusive of Annotto- Bay, have turned ant to be in several instances so incorrect, as to compel him to report the matter to his Majesty's Government. His Excellency having noticed in the public prints, a return for the periods ending Ist qf August, 1834, and 1835, which he was informed by the principal officers of Customs had been furnished by them to the Commissioners of Accounts, and finding that it dif- fered with the previous returns in his possession, as relates to the year 1834, in 5,257 hogsheads; and having since » discovered that there was an omission even in that account of 3,157 hogsheads for 1835, has deemed it expedient to put the Assembly in possession of a correct statement, as far as he has at last been able to procure it from those officers, in order that the house mat/ be aware 0) the REAL AMOUNT OF- DEFICIE. VCY OF THE CROP ; the diminution in the exports of 1835 ap pearing to be 8,221 hogsheads, 1,357 tierces, and 109 barrels of sugar, and 3,643 puncheons of rum, or about one- tenth compared with the former year. The following is an abstract of the enclosure alluded to in the fore- going :— SUGAR. RUM Hhds. Trs. Bis. Puns. In the year ending 1st August, 1834 79,465 9,259 3,231 30,676 In the year ending 1st August, 1835 71,244 7,902 3,122 27,033 Decrease in the year ending 1st August, 1835 8,221 1,357 109 3,643 This true statement, we believe, will be found to be that, January 10. JOHN BULL 1.3 which we SAVE at the time, in answer to Lord SLIGO'S famous speech, for not agreeiug to the facts of which his Excellency took upon himself to dissolve the Assembly. Some of the West Indian papers are growing indulgent to Lord SLIGO. and have taken to pity him because he is so constantly and easily imposed upon. Whether this compassion for his Ex- cellency's weakness will be agreeable to him, or whether his subordinates will submit to bear the blame with which his Excellency is pleased to load them, we cannot pretend to say. Lord SLIGO'S principle of action is " all fair and above board" and we are quite sure he would not say that, which even might be thought a prevarication, to save himself from difficulty or censure, be the extent what it might. We can- not, however, but repeat, that the punishment of dissolution was rather severe upon the Parliament because they hesitated to echo a congratulation which they knew to be based upon deliberate aud downright falsehood. MB. RAINY, of Regent- street, lias addressed a circular letter to the Members of both Houses, containing a proposal for rebuilding their " Chambers" upon the following scale. He proposes:— " That all the buildings at Charing- rross, from Scotland- yard to, and inclusive of, Craven- street, in the Strand, with Northumberland House, and the wharfs between it and the river, should be entirely cleared away : and on that site should be orecteA- the two Houses of Parliament and the Courts of Law, with their appendages. " A triumphal arch, commemorative of our naval victories, should occupy the centre; its entablature might be contrived to form a com- munication from one House to the other; aud compartments should also constitute an approach to abridge across the river ( to be desig- nated Trafalgar Bridge), terminated on the Surrey side by another arch, in record of our military victories. The line of road from thence would be taken through a district which would be greatly benefitted,. many narrow streets would be widened, inferior houses demolished, and a different and reputable class of property would arise in their place. " Part of that ground should be appropriated for an Amphitheatre, on the model of the Colosseum, as the central point, from which the Dover, Southampton, and Brighton Railroads should diverge. It should be constructed to afford accommodation, by classification, to all degrees of persons travelling to and from the metropolis, in those directions ; and should be so far under the control and protection of Government, that order, regularity, and punctuality should be en- sured, and every possible security providedfor the lives and property of the public. " Returning to Trafalgnr- square, four houses between the Phcenix Fire Office and Messrs. Drummond's, should he taken down, and also a small chapel and two houses in Spring- gardens; and a car- riage entrance would then be obtained opposite the Strand, to the mall in St. James's Park, with a direct communication to the King's Palace, and to Belgrave- square, and that neighbourhood, by Pim- lico and Constitution- bill. " The vacant space in front of the Palace should be enclosed with massive iron railing and gates, " The houses in Pall- mall, east of the Senior United Service Club House, opposite to the south front of the Opera House, and along Cockspur- street, to Messrs. Green and V\ ard's, inclusive, should eventually be removed ; the stabling at the end of Warwick- street or- namentally enclosed ; and an architectural elevation formed from that point to the Phcenix Fire Office, some of the houses being rebuilt and others new fronted. , " The elevation of the east division of Carlton- terrace could be . completed ( after the removal of the stabling of Carlton House), by allotting the remaining ground for the Sun Fire Office, and the offices of Messrs. Greenwood, Cox, and Hammersley, with an entrance from Cockspur- street. " The site of the ancient palace, at St. James's would afford ample space for a suitable mansion for the Duke of Northumberland, in exchange for Northumberland House. Two small houses in Pall- mall, and one within tiie gates of Marlborough House, and the German Chapel, should be taken down, to admit of sufficient court yards for both these mansions, and another carriage entrance would also be obtained to St. James's Park, opposite to St. James's- street; the road branching west to the King's Palace, and east to Trafalgar- square. '' By a bridge across the canal another communication may be effected, Ihrough Queen- square and a part of Westminster, to Vaax- hall Bridge.." There can be no doubt that this plan will be adopted. The Go- vernment, beyond the twenty millions for destroying the West Indies, three or four millions more for- mining the East. Indies, a trifle more for maintaining the King of GREECE, a few millions more for sup- porting the Queen of SPAIN, and a few more for keeping up a fleet on the war establishment to comfort the Queen of PORTUGAL— not to speak of the trifling annual amount of salaries to six or seven hundred commissioners, sub- commissioners, deputy- commissioners, and deputy- assistant- commissioners— having plenty of money left, will immediately advance the odd additional twenty millions required for the execution of Mr. RAINY'S project, and include it in the next estimates, under the head " Miscellaneous." We have heard of the prudence of laying by something for a Rainy day— it appears to have arrived. We think, however, that much more might be advantageously effected than even Mr. RAINY proposes. Westminster Hall might be moved to the top of Tottenham Court- road— the Abbey put nearer the river, and surrounded by a handsome Grecian corridor, open to the public as a promenade, with a Chinese pavilion at either end of it. The whole of Fleet- street, Cheapside, the Poultry, and all the streets between the river and their present site, should be pulled down, and one large mall laid'uut, and planted on either side with trees, leading to the Mansion House, which must be turned round, so as to face the West, and form a beautiful terminus to the vista. All the shops, banking- bouses, warehouses, churches, companies' halls, stores, and manufactories, which will necessarily be pulled down to make way for this great improvement, should be rebuilt with the same materials, carefully numbered for the purpose, in the centre of the Regent's Park. The two patent shot manufactories in Lambeth, to be removed to Constitution- hill; and the gas- works at Paddington brought down and placed within the railings of Grosve nor- square, the inhabitants of which aristocratic area, having so loudly and frequently expressed their admiration of that bright and sweet commodity, will no doubt gladly contribute aipongst them- selves for the realization of this object. Waterloo Bridge, rendered perfectly useless by the erection of Mr. RAINY'S Trafalgar Bridge from Scotland- yard to Pedlar's- acre, may be removed, and placed across the Serpentine river, to which all the northern and western rail- roads may be brought— and the Colosseum in the Regent's Park, can easily be placed at the foot of the bridge, as a pendant to Mr. RAINY'S gigantic Caravansera in the New Cut. We think all this may, and probably will be, done before Midsummer. officer should at the seat of war resign his commission, I feel it in- cumbent upon me to take the liberty of stating, injustice to mvself, that my reason for tendering my resignation was that I could no longer endure what I cannot do otherwise than designate the uuoffi- cer- Iike and nnffentlemanly conduct of Lieut.- Colonel Tupper. There is not an officer in the Legion more sensible than I am ( and having been also an officer in the British Army I may take some credit to myself for kuowing something of military duty )" of what is due to pro- per discipline in all ranks, but the conduct of Lieut.- ColonelTupper, in his official capacity, transgressed and outraged every law observed in the British, or perhaps any other service; in proof of which I respectfully solicit your attention, as Commander- in- Chief of the Legion, to'the fitilowing facts : — That Lieutenant- Colonel Tnpper has repeatedly sworn at his officers, damn'd their eyes, < fec., and conducted himself towards them m a manner which no officer or gentleman could submit to. That at Estellero, when acting as President of a Regimental Court- Martial, for the trial of two prisoners, before the proceedings were terminated, Lieutenant- Colonel Tnpper sent me three mes- sages, ordering the proceedings to be expedited, be having at that time, without knoiring what the sentence of the Court might be, formed a punishment intrude, with the lashings, ^ c. prepared. That, furthermore, the sentence of the Court being adjudged, Lieutenant- Colonel Tnpper abused me, telling me I ought to know my duty better than to award so small a punishment as lashes to a man who had insulted him, adding that I ( as President) ought to have awarded him at least a punishment of 500 - lashes, whereupon I mentioned to him the powers of Regimental Courts- Martial, to which he very warmly replied, that the British Articles of ff'ar irere nn guide here, and that here ice might give him a thousand lashes if we chose. That the Court being ordered to re- assemble, revised their sentence, and extended the punishment to 200 lashes, upon re- ceiving which revision Lieut.- Col. Tu^ per again abused me, and told me that if I could not do my duty as President of a Conrt- Martial, Major Beatson, who would do bis duty, should sit as President upon every future Court- Martial. That oil my arrival at Portngalette, having been ordered on picqnet, Lientenarit- Colonel Tupper di- rected me to place my sentries close to the buildings; that Major Beatson afterwards ordered me to advance the sentries 100 yards in front of thl1 buildings, and to fire at any person who conld not give the countersign, and, in case of alarm, to beat, to arms, at the same time taking upon himself the responsibility of ihe order. That, in accordance with the above, under niglit- fall, the sentries challenged, and, upon receiving no answer, fired according to orders; the drum beat to arms, and the piquet turned out immediately to support the sentries, upon which it appeared that the sentries had fired at some bullock- carts bringing straw to the barracks ; afterwards Lient.- Col. Tupper abused ine grtissly because the sentries had tired, according to Major Beatson's orders. That the same night, the sentry having challenged something seen in the distance, turned out the piquet; Lieut.- Colonel Tupper, who was present, ordered the sentry to fire; his firelock not going off", Lieut.- Colonel Tapper himself took a musket, levelled, and tired ; that the Lieut.- Colonel then advanced, calling out " forward, Scotch !" I following with the picqnet, where- upon it appeared we had advanced upon another bullock cart, upon which Lieut.- Col. Tupper turned to me and said, " what the devil do you do here, Sir! take in your picquet!" That on the 2d of Sept., at Portugalette, Lieut- Col. Tupper visited the picquet and turned them out, he being in a state of drunkenness. That on another night he came from Portugalette, about 12 o'clock at night, and said be had written a challenge to the Carlist Chief to meet him by day or by night with a thousand men, and be would encounter them with his six hundred Scotchmen, upon which we were under arms all that night, and saw no more of Lieut.- Col. Tnpper until ten o'clock the next morning. Finally, that the orders and counter- orders given verbally to the regiment were so numerous and irregular, seldom or never appearing in the orderly book, that it was impossible for any officer to discharge his duty conscientiously to himself, and satisfactorily to the service. It was' under these circumstances that, as an officer and a gentleman, I tendered ray resignation. The senice under your command I understood was to be conducted on the principles of tile British Army, and I have only to add that, in justice to other British officers who may volunteer into this service, I shall feel it my duty, on my arrival in England, to transmit a copy of my present letter to the public authorities, and, in the meantime, as a proof that I have not relinquished the service from any disinclination to do my duty, I beg to enclose the copy of a letter sent to me by the officers who were present with the regiment. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, JAMES BRASH, Late Capt. 6th Ilegt. B. A. L. Lieut.- Gen. Evans, M. P., Com.- in- Chief, B. A. L. Then follows letter No. 2. from Lieutenant GARCIAS to Lieutenant- Geueral EVANS :— Santander, 12th Sept., 1835. Sir,— Having had the honour of submitting to you my resignation as Lieut, of the 6th Scotch Grenadiers, and yon having been pleased to accept the same, and accompanying its registration in the orderly book by a remark that you, as General, felt surprised that any Officer should resign his commission at the seat of war, I think it necessary, in justice to myself, to avow that it was from no disinclination of mine to remain with the army that I tendered my resignation ; for, on the contrary, in the presence of the regiment I stepped forward, and declared myself ready to act as a volunteer,— a fact which suffi- ciently exonerates me from being actuated by the motives implied by you in your remarks in the orderly book. The truth is, I found Ireland, will soon do something of a similar nature. The following is a brief and succinct illustration of the peace, tranquillity, and good order, which Lord MULGRAVE stated, in his public and official character, to reign supreme in the Green Island, now blest with his Excellency's care and attention :— Lord H AWARDEN and eighteen Magistrates metat Caher on Wed- nesday, and signed a requisition to the Lieutenant of the county of Tipperary, to take into consideration its very disturbed state at present. An additional force of one hundred police are to be sent into the county of Tipperary, in consequence of its present disturbed con- dition. Sunday last, during divine service, at Kilcooley Church, two men entered the house of WILI. IAM BROI- oRn, gamekeeper to Mr. BARKER of Kilcooley Abbey— one of them presented a pistol at Mrs. BEnFORn, and demanded fire- arms— they then searched the house and found a gun, which they carried away. A man of the name of CONNERY was killed on Christmas night at Farnane, Tipperarv, in a drunken quarrel. On Thursday night last, the constabulary party stationed in Croom, took down an illegal notice posted at Carass- cross, cautioning " any person who became a tenant on the farm of the widow HICKEY, with the death of DAWSON, and especially the traitor HOGAN, who is worse than VOKES." A fat sheep, the property of Mr. PARIS ANDERSON, was killed on the lands of Gleuview, near Birdhill, on the night of Wednesday. All taken away but the head, fat, and entrails. One hundred tons of hay have been maliciously consumed at Lismacue, Tipperary. Monday night the Newry Mail car was again attacked, near Monnghan, when the guard " fired and wounded two ol the assailants, after having been first struck with bludgeons. Col. DROUGHT lias offered 100 guineas reward for the apprehension of the fellows who poisoned his hounds near Maryborough a few nights ago. Messrs. STEPHENSON and BOYCE, Methodist Preachers, travelling from Rallyshanunn to preach, were attacked near Bundoran a few days past, and pelted with stones and gutter. These are a few among many instances of Irish tranquillity. SIR ROBERT PEEL. WE are indebted to the zeal and activity of a well known Westminster Elector for the following documents illustrative of the state of discipline of the British Legion in Spain as regards both officers and men. They have been in print before, but we believe have not been generally seen by the public. A word of comment seems perfectly needless. No. 1. Letter from Captain BRASH to Lieut.- General EVANS:— Santander, Sept. 12th, 1835. Sir,— As you have done me the honour to accept my resignation as Captain of the 6th Regiment Scotch Grenadiers, and as you have accompanied the registration of it in the orderly book by a remark to the effect that, » s Coinnwoder- in. chief, you fuel surprised that an the system pursued so different, from that of the British army, and the conduct of Lieut.- Colonel Tupper in particular so offensive, that I could no longer, as an officer and a gentleman, act under him; in proof of which, I beg to refer you to the letter of Capt. Brash, which renders it unnecessary for me to enter into any further detail: I, however, enclose a copy of a letter addressed to me on leaving the regiment, which is signed by every brother officer.— 1 have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient and humble servant, C. GARCIAS. In order that the reader may form some judgment of the claims which Captain BRASH has upon his credit and respect, we subjoin ( No. 3), copy of a testimonial presented by the Officers of the Oth Regiment, to that Officer and Lieutenant GARCIAS:— Portngalette, 6th Sept., 1835. Gentlemen,— We, the undersigned Officers of the 6' th Regiment Scotch Grenadiers, British Auxiliary Legion, beg to express our un- feigned sorrow that, from peculiar circumstances, you should have found it necessary to give in your resignations, as, from your highly gentlemanlike conduct and unimpeachable character in everv rcspect we are convinced that the loss of your society in the corps will not be easily replaced. We beg you will allow us to make this expression of our feelings, and to unite our most sincere wishes for your future welfare. We remain. Gentlemen, Yours, most sincerely, GRAHAM, D. HUNTER, Capt. JAMES JACKSON, Capt. HENRY WILKINSON, Surgeon. GORDON MORETON, Capt. JOHN SHAW, Capt. P. MACKELLAR, Lieut. JOHN BAYNE, Assist.- Surgeon. J. W. FOSTER, Second Lieut. GEORGE PRICE, Lieut. H. DE BACKER, Lieut. A. J. M'DOWALI., Second Lieut. WALTER CAREY, Second Lieut. HENRY WIDDOWSON, Lieut. R. PAGET, Capt. How many of the Officers who signed this testimonial still remain in the service of Lieut.- General EVANS, our friend, the " WESTMINSTER ELECTOR," does not inform us; but we should think so strong a display of feeling in opposition to the superior powers, under such circumstances as those in which the British Legion are placed, is not likely to render their position more agreeable than it was before they ap- pended their names ( o this complimentary address. WE have elsewhere shown that the present illustrious Governor of Jamaica has eaten the words which lie spoke in Iris speecli to the House of Assembly, and confessed, in a message to that body, that the data upon which he congratu- " ated ' them upon the prosperity of that Island, was all false. Perhaps his Excellency's predecessor, now an Excellency Iu The following is the correspondence which has taken place between Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Marquess of LONDON- DERRY, on ( he subject of the invitation of the Rjght Honour- able Baronet to a public dinner in Ireland. 1. Letter from the Marquess of LONDONDERRY to Sir RO- BERT PEEL:— JVynyard Park, Dec. 16, 1835. Sir,— I have the honour to lay before yon a communication that I have received from the Mayor of Londonderry, intimating a desire that I should, in the name'of the Stewards and Committee of the proposed entertainment to be given in that city, convey their invita- tion to you, with expressions of their deepest admiration and respect for vour splendid talents and eminent public services. These sentiments are so fully explained in the enclosed letter, that I have little to add to its contents. But I should be wanting in the duty imposed upon me, if 1 did not inform you, that the Committee and Stewards have considered the communication through ir. eas most respectful towards yourself and more likely to obtain the con- summation of their best hopes and wishes. 1 am directed further to enclose a list of the Stewards and Com- mittee, to which is added the names of the Noblemen and Gentle- men and Members of Parliament who have joined in this mark of respect ( so far as answers have been received), and to state that the lists are still out in the different parts of Ulster, and that the greatest assemblage ever known of this description will infallibly take place. It is especially intended to be no display of religious party, but a demonstration of ( rue Conservative principles, and of gratitude and honour to the Statesman who is upholding with unshnken firmness, patience, and perseverance, our ancient and invaluable institutions, I cannot conclude without assuring you, Sir, of the pride I feel iu being selected as the organ to convey to you the enclosed address. Regarding the mass of Irish rank, wealth, character, and station, the signatures embrace— estimating those who will be drawn toge- ther by their example— considering, above all, the whole as bound and knit together by pure Conservative patriotism and love of British connexion ; and that these their sentiments aie now concentrated in this manifestation towards yourself— it is impossible you should not give it its just and due appreciation. And great as the public ap- plause lias been with which your political career has been crowned, f doubt if there is a brighter page in your note- book than this honest burst of acclamation from Irishmen. I have the honour fo be, Sir, with every sentiment of respect and esteem, your very obedient and faithful servant, VANE LONDONDERRY. The Rt. Hon. Sir Robert Peel, Bart., M. P., etc. < fcc. Answer of Sir ROBERT PEEL :— Drayton Manor, Dec. 20, 1835. My Lord,— I hasten to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's letter, conveying to me an invitation to a public dinner in the city ot Derrv, and accompanied by a list of the noblemen and gentlemen who have signified their wish to join in a mark of respect so truly gratifying to my feelings. In that list 1 ' recognise many names of the legislature, who gave to the general policy of the government over which I presided a cor- dial and zealous support— a support that was truly valuable, from the pure and honourable motives that influenced it, and from the high personal character of those by whom it was tendered. I recognise also the names of many gentlemen friendly to public- principles on which we acted, with whom I should have the greatest satisfaction in personally renewing my acquaintance, after so long an absence from Ireland. I trust, however, that it will not be considered inconsistent with the sincerest feelings of respect for those to whom I am indebted for this flattering compliment, and of gratefnl acknowledgment for their very kind intentions, if, at this season of the year, and considering the'near approach of tiie meeting of Parliament, I ask permission to forego the honour which it has been proposed to confer ujion me. I am here surrounded by my family, enjoying the short interval of repose from the contentions and excitement of politics, and 1 should he very unwilling to draw from their homes at this particular time, for the purpose of paying a compliment to me, so many, whose presence cheers and animates the neighbourhood in which they reside. I beg yon to assure them, in the strongest terms, that their con- tinued confidence and attachment will be a source of the highest gratification to me. To yourself, individually, 1 return my warm acknowledgments, as well for vour cordial concurrence in the flattering proposal which has been made to me, as for the very kind and gratifying manner in which you have executed the commission which was entrusted to you. " I have the honour to be, my Lord, " Your faithful ana obedient servant, " The Most Noble the Marquess of " ROBERT PEEL. Londonderry, & c. ( tec. < fcc."

First and foremost on our list stands Captain GLASCOCK'S new and valuable work, called " The Naval Service, or . Officers' Manual for every grade in his Majesty's Ships." That this book will have an immense circulation there can be little doubt; it is, in fact, and ought to be so considered, the sailor's vade mecum. The information it contains, the advice it gives, the mea sures cautionary, and others which itrecommends, are all of lirst- rate importance. We feel most anxious to give our readers some extracts from its pages, but it would be doing it an injustice : not a subject seems neglected or forgotten, which can conduce to the able fulfil- ment of the duty of every officer on board; and while the gallant Cap- tain enters into the minutest details of service, he at the same time evinces a solicitude for the honour and character of his naval brethren, in every position in which they may be placed, which can only emanate from a real feeling of regard, and the possession of the qualities which he seeks to advocate and inculcate. Our next— but very different— work, is Mrs. TROLLOPE'S new book on Paris, illustrated with several admirable prints. Her descriptions are as vivid as those of America, and however strange those seemed to be, as likenesses of nature, her pictures of French manners and fancies are so near the truth that we really feel a redoubled confi- dence in what even we almost apprehended to be caricatures. Mrs. TROLLOPE, although she assures us of the perfect safety of the present Government, gives us that assurance under protest of various of her friends and associates. The book is ably, and, we may say, delightfully written. Her description of the costume of the republican dandy, more strongly impressed upon the mind by a graphic representation of the animal, is especially worthy the atten- tion of those who, in these days of steam and enlightenment, may choose to flit from the capital of England to that of France. " See them where or when you will," says Mrs. TROLLOPE, " they take good care to be unmistakeable. There is not a child of ten years old who cannot tell a republican when he sees him; a hat whose crown, if raised a few inches more would be conical, is highest in importance as in place, and the shade of CROMWELL may, per- haps, glory in seeing how many desperate wrong- heads still mimic his beaver. Then come the long and matted locks that hang in heavy, ominous dirtiness beneath it. The throat is bare, at least from linen, but a plentiful and very disgusting profusion of hair sup- plies its place. The waistcoat, like the hat, bears an immortal name, ' GILET a la ROBESPIERRE' being its awful designation, and the extent of its wide spreading lappels is held to be a criterion of the expansive principles of the wearer. An reste, a general air of grim and savage blackguardism is all that is necessary to make up the outward man of a republican of Paris in 1835. " But, oh ! the grimaces by which I have seen the human face dis- torted, by persons wearing this masquerading attire. Some roll their eyes and knit their brows, as if they would bully the whole universe; others fix their dark glances on the ground in fearful meditation; while others, some there be, who, while gloomily leaning against a statue or a tree, throw such terrific meaning into their looks as might naturally be interpreted into the language of the witches in Macbeth— ' We must, we will,— we must, we will, Have much more blood— and become worse, And become worse,' < fec. & c." The effigies of two of these worthies accompany the description— they are exactly of that caste of beings whose appearance in a crowd in England would unquestionably raise the cry of " take care of your pockets;"— but it is as well our fellow- countrymen should know them when they see them. A reflection of Mrs. TROLLOPE'S upon that gayest of all gay scenes, a fete at St. Cloud, is most natural. " I wonder," says the animated authoress," if thfese people ever grow old— that is, old as we do, sitting in the chimney corner, and dreaming no more of fetes than of playing blind- man's- buff. I have certainly seen here, as elsewhere, men and women too, grey- headed and wrinkled enough to be as solemn as the most venerable judge upon the bench, but I never saw auy that did not seem ready to hop, skip, jump, waltz, and make love." — This, as far as our personal experience goes, is most trne— there are some of a similar character in England, but not many; in France it is universal. The history of the French dandy eating a raw muffin, and de- nouncing it as bad English pastry, is excellent. But it is not only to the lighter parts of the work that the meed of approbation is due— a shrewdness of observation and a depth of thought are everywhere observable where the authoress takes up a subject seriously. Would we could extract more largely from her remarks upon the rapidly regenerating power of Popery, and the hopes and anticipations of the French Papists with regard to its eventual ascendancy in Eng- land. " The share," says Mrs. TROLLOPE, " which the Roman Catholic Priests of this our day are said to have had in the Belgian revolution, and the part, more remarkable still, which the same race are now performing in the opening scenes of the fearful struggle which threatens England, has given a new impulse to the ambition of Rome and her children. One may read it in the portly bearing of her youthful Priests— one may read it in the deep- set meditative eye of those who are older. " It is legible in their bran- new vestments of gold and silver tissue: it is legible in the costly decorations of their renovated altars; and deep, deep, deep is the policy which teaches them to recover, with a gentle hand, that which they have lost by a grasping one. How well can I fancy that, in their secret synods, the favourite text is—' No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment: for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.' Were they a whit less cautious, they must fail at once; but they tickle their converts before they think of convincing them. It is for this that the pulpits are given to young and eloquent men, who win the eye and ear of their congregations long before they find out to what point they wish to lead them. But while the young men preach, the old men are not idle. There are rumours of new convents, new monasteries, new orders, new miracles, and of new converts, in all directions. This wily, worldly, tranquil- seem- ing, but most ambitious sect having, in many quarters, bound them- selves to the cause of democracy, sit quietly by, looking for the result of tbeir work, like a tiger that seems to dose for the moment, when they may avenge themselves for the long fast from power, during which they have been gnawing their heart- strings. " Bnt they now have the morning of another day— I would that all English ears could hear as mine have done, the prattle that prophecies the doumfall of our national Church as a thing certain as rain after a long drought. I would that English ears could hear as mine have done the name of O'CONNELL uttered as that of a new Apostle, and his bold bearding of those, who yet raise their voices in defence of the faith their fathers gave them, triumphantly quoted in proof of the growing influence of himself and his Popish creed— which are, in truth, one and inseparable!— But forgive me !— all this has little to do with my subject, and, moreover, atheme I had much better not meddle with. I cannot touch it lightly, for my heart is heavy when I turn to it. I cannot treat it powerfully, for alas, I have no strength but to lament. ' He! que puis- je an milieu de ce peuple abattu, Benjamin est sans force, et Juda sans vertn.' " This account of the popular French feeling towards the Agitator is curious, and well worth attention, coupled with the declaration of the Citizen- King, that the union between France and England is every day becoming closer. With regret we lay down Mrs. TROLLOPE'S work ; and with sin- cerity we advise everybody who wishes to be amused and instructed to take it up. Mr. CHURTON has just published the third and fourth volumes of the Lives of TALLEYRAND and MIRABEAU, the latter illustrated with a portrait, extremely like, and the least prepossessing in the world. Both these lives are extremely well written, from data to be relied upon, and when completed will form a valuable addition to our col- lection of French biography. The Magazines of the month are in general attractive; but Fraser has wasted too much of his wit and irony upon egotism— there is too much about Regina, and her contributors, and her affairs, and her law- suits. Let her speak for, and not of, herself, and she will do right well. Blackwood, excellent as ever, ceases to give us his Nootes, a feature which distinguished him, as much as his more powerful talent, from all his contemporaries. Mr. CAMPBELL'S letters, with a host of contributions from all quarters, adorn and enliven the New Monthly. The gallant and indefatigable author of half the good novels now written, or writing, supports, like another Atlas, the Metropolitan, even while his hands are at work in half a dozen other directions; and the admirable United Service Journal fully maintains the high character awarded it by universal suffrage. We must not omit to notice the graceful Court Magazine, which, although deprived of Mrs. NORTON'S magical editorial powers, still flourishes and yields its tribute to the beauty of the aristocracy. A new series of the Gentleman's Magazine is commenced, in which we notice two innnovations annoying to us, who love old customs and ancient institutions. In the first place, the woodcut of St. John's Gate is transferred from the title page to the wrapper, so that when bound it will be lost; and in the second, instead of a just representation of that remnant of antiquity, we have a trite comely- looking building, standing insulated, and, therefore, as a gate, as useless as the beautiful one at Hyde- park- corner, and, moreover accompanied by trees and cottages such as are not to be found in its neighbourhood now, nor could have been there in the days of Mr. CAVE himself. From the obituary of the number in question, we however gladly avail ourselves of a portion of a notice of his Grace the late Duke of BEAC- FORT, which cannot fail to be acceptable to our readers, as affording a testimony to the merits and virtues of that noble personage, at a time when the sincerity of praise can neither be doubted nor questioned. After giving the genealogical details connected with the illustrious house of SOMERSET, the writer says of his Grace:— " Although the Duke of BEAUFORT never took any prominent part in the politics of the country, his parliamentary vote and influence were steadily given in support of the successive 1 ory administrations. He was a munificent and active patron of some of the most impor- tant, charitable, and religious institutions ; was one of the Vice Pre- sidents of the Society for promoting the building of Churches and. Chapels, and of the Welch Charity- school; one of the Presidents of the Royal Jennerian Society; and one of the Vice- Patrons of the Royal Universal Infirmary for Children. " During his long career his Grace sustained the different offices held by him with high ability and unimpeachable impartiality. Against his public character not even lander itselfhas ever dared to whisper a reproach; and throughout his longlife he bore a character to whose purity, integrity, and singleness of purpose, his friends and opponents have alike be* en emulous of giving testimony. In his pri- vate virtues were excellencies which appeal more nearly to our sym- pathies. The fame which follows a lite devoted to deeds of private benevolence, to numberless acts of charity, to an unceasing exertion for the welfare and prosperity of those placed in dependence upon him, graces the character of the deceased Duke, for in such deeds of private worth were found his chief delieht and employment. " For many years, during the hunting season, the Duke of BEAU- FORT resided at Heythrop, in Oxfordshire, where he kept an excel- lent pack of fox hounds. Soon after the destruction of that noble mansion by fire, he removed his kennel and his stud altogether into Gloucestershire; but he left behind him, among his neighbours in Oxfordshire, of every grade, f » character of wliich those connected with him may now be justly proud. He was ( said an honest intelli- gent yeoman since his death), a man of generous disposition, plain and straightforward in his speech, punctual in his dealings between man and man, and of strict integrity. He was kind and open in his manner, very benevolent in his conduct, and always willing to oblige, where he could do so with propriety; and when he did you a service, the less you said about it the better he was pleased." This is a just and genuine tribute to a great and good man; and we thank the writer of the Gentleman's Magazine for the manner in which he has paid it, Before we leave Mr. CAVE'S ancient neighbourhood, we must beg leave to call the attention of all our readers, but most especially our Clerical friends, to the merits of The Clerical Guide, and Ecclesiasti- cal Directory, edited by Mr. GILBERT, the eminent printer of St. John's- square, and published by Messrs. RIVINGTOX. It would occupy a column of our paper to enumerate its contents. Suffice it to say, that, besides all the usual information as to the different sees, chapters, and alphabetical lists of the dignified and bene- ficed clergy, it contains a complete registry of all the bene- fices of the Church of England, their value, the names of the incumbents, of the patrons and impropriators— the county and diocese and archdeaconry in which each is situated— the extent of population in each parish, and - the extent of church accommodation for the parishioners, compiled from the Report of the Church Commission, presented to Parliament in 1835, by command of his MAJESTY. NO work ever was so complete as this is, in its present new edition. It seems an absolutely necessary appendage to every rectory, vicarage, or parsonage in the kingdom, and deserves in the highest degree the best recommendation that can be bestowed upon a work consist- ing of such multifarious details— we mean correctness. We cannot conclude this article without replying to a second letter from a literary correspondent— or, we rather should say, a publishing correspondent— who again accuses us of invidious partiality in noti- cing some works, and omitting others. All we can say is, to repeat what we have said already— that it is impossible for us to notice books which are not transmitted to us— and, in order to set the matter at rest, as to the particular instances to which he refers, we beg to say we have not received Rienzi, nor Agnes Searle, nor Aunt Ponlypool, nor the Parricide, nor, in fact, any one of the book! to which he alludes as having been neglected by us. If he will show, as he says he can, that those, or any one of those works, have been sent to our office, we will take care and set on foot an inquiry which will bring the matter to light. THEATRES. The Theatres continue, mirabile dictu, to fill to their very ceilings — at least the large ones, to which the taste of the public seems to have turned with most extraordinary zeal and vigour. This circum- stance, and the difference of amount of admission money between them, satisfactorily prove two facts long debated and disputed. The one, that small Theatres are not more popular than large ones, if the large ones offer the greatest attraction; and the other, that a reduction of prices has nothing to do with the attendance of the audience. At the time Mr. KEAN acted at Drury Lane and the prices were reduced, not one human being more went, because he might go for five shillings instead of seven, and if Covent Garden now were open at the regular prices, and continued to put forth such attractions as Drury Lane does, it would be just as full as it is, at the lower amount of admission. • We ought, however, to do the low- priced house the justice to say, that during the last week it has done some service to the stage, not only in giving us The Hunchback, with its powerful cast, but in having intro- duced to the theatrical world amostpromising debutante— Miss HELEN FAUCIT. This young lady does more than promise well— she performs well. She has evidently studied much to improve high natural qualifi- cations for the stage; she evinces sound judgment and discrimination; and when she becomes sufficiently collected in her work to check a redundancy of action, she will be a very great acquisition to the pro fession. - Her success was most unequivocal. At Drury Lane, Mr. BUNN, who certainly failed in riding the two great horses of the Lane and the Garden together, has mounted himself upon a brass nag, which is likely to carry him on till Easter — a horse fit for any man's riding, and certainly well calculated to draw. A more splendid spectacle than The Bronze Jlorse was never seen; the music is beautiful— the piece itself sufficiently good for all purposes, and the scenery and decorations, the dances, the choruses, the banquets, the umbrellas, the lanthoms, in short, everything about it, are astoundingly magnificent. The consequence of all this is, that Drury Lane is crammed to suf- focation night after night, and that beautiful building which for so many years has been wont to exhibit its fine proportions unspoiled and unsullied by the intermixture of living objects, presents nothing to the eye but masses of heads, waggling about, if they have room, after the fashion of the TSINO TSINGS on the stage, and hands poking out of the interstices, clapping away for " dear life." SHAKSPEARE is, we admit, lost sight of— but what then ?— he would be as much lost sight of, at this season, if he were acted— for nobody would go to see him. At the beginning of the year, old Drury opened with our classical national drama, and it attracted good and even crowded audiences ; but the attraction did not hold. Spectacle even in Minor Theatres drew away the tinsel- loving crowd; and the great and grave actors of the day were left listening to the echoes of their own sweet voices reverberating amongst the empty boxes. Then came the Siege of Rochelle— a decided hit; then the Jewess— another; then the Christmas Pantomime ; andnow, the Bronze Horse— an abso- lute inundation of splendour and amusement. Why Bronzey was not kept in the stable till Easter, we do not pretend to know— the Jewess and the Rochelle, alternately with the Pantomime, and afterwards with some sober and steady plays before them, would have lasted through Lent. However, the fault of the manager is on the side of liberality, and that, although the liberal public care just as much for managers or actors as they do for so many litters of kittens ( except only as regards their own gratifica- tion), still, as the liberality adds to that gratification, they appreciate it, and by appreciating support and encourage it. But while all this is doing in London, Mr. BUNN takes the oppor- tunity of disseminating his splendour all over the provinces; and his acting manager, not having acted in London since he was engaged at Drury Lane, is gone on a tour with his better half— and well may she be so called— to act in all the principal towns in the country, and show the rustics what the London Jewess really is. Fac- similes of all the decorations precede and follow him upon his march— helmets, swords, shields, and cuirasses announce his approach, and scenery, machinery, and decorations bring up the rear. He must fancy him- self again on the Peninsula, foraging upon the enemy. Wre advise the managerial commissary- general to prevent if possible the capture of any of his materiel by the depot- companies of Queen CHRISTINO'S Foot- pads. Should these patriots lay hands upon his properties, as sure as fate they will be appropriated to the service of the British Legion, and the next reinforcement of Brevet Lieutenant- Colonel EVANS'S army will join him— at least if he is not at home before they get out— dressed in the last new regulation cut of the T. R. D. L. board of general officers, to the infinite delight and astonishment of the Ile- o'- doggians and their valiant, well- fed, well- paid, and well- treated companions in arms. The Queen's Theatre is re- opened under Mrs. NISBETT'S manage- ment, in spite of the querulous waitings of critics, who, we suppose, fancy something very wrong to be going forward under its roof, but of which, certainly no evidence is afforded to the audience. The principal feature of the present entertainment ( at least in the bill), is the announcement of Tableaux Vivantes, from Mr. PARRIS'S exqui- site Flowers of Loveliness. It is quite clear, from the execution of these designs, that the artist is gifted with the most unquestionable taste; but if the realities at all resemble the pictures, they must form a most beautiful spectacle, and puzzle even the judgment of PARRIS himself. The Adelphi has produced A Ghost Story, which has succeeded extremely well. A Mrs. STIRLING has justified her pretensions to her name by her merit; and the author is so entirely satisfied with her performance, that, in compliment to her, be has named his drama Catharine Graham. Why this should be a compliment to Mrs. STIRLING, we, who have the misfortune not to be versed in her family biography, do not' so clearly comprehend. Madame VESTRIS has not produced any novelty, except her Pic Nic, for several days, which, in these times of excessive diversity and activity, is a marvel. MATHEWS is familiarizing himself with the stage and the audience under the most favourable auspices; and LISTON ( who, we perceive, has just mounted some splendid zinc chimney- pots) is as rich and as racy as ever. The American audiences do not admire JOHN REEVE ; they think him " low "— which, as he plays nothing but low comedy, seems to us as praise, to be remarkably " high." The fact is, that the per- ception of humour is a gift, as well as the humour itself— no man so readily sees a likeness in a portrait as one who himself can draw— January 24. ' j o h n b u l l . 31 110 man not in a certain degree humorous can relish the drollery of JOHN REEVE ; besides, his is purely English drollery— a vivid carica- ture of the most unmitigated vulgarity— the points, the traits, the peculiarities which make the English gallery scream with laughter, may resemble nothing that ever was seen in the United States— and then where is the fun ? Moreover, the comicality of an actor requires familiarity with it— the spectator must be accustomed to it. The tragedian goes forth with all his solemnity, and repeats the language of the poet— of declamation, expression, intonation, gesture, passion, figure; opinions, however they may vary, are soon formed, if not upon judgment or taste, at least by comparison ; but who have the Americans seen to compare with R EEVE ? he is sui generis, alone„ and unlike anything that ever was, and therein is his merit; and what perhaps is a greater merit still, he is never himself twice the same, neither is the dialogue in which he is engaged: however, if in giving his author he does not always stick to the letter, he contrives never to lose the spirit. WALLACK, ABBOTT, and Mr. and Mrs. WOOD have been eminently successful in those regions. When stating in our last week's Paper, that the receipts under the KING'S letter, in aid of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, amounted to 50,0001., we committed amis- take. Instead of that sum, the present receipts do not exceed 22,0001.; but it is confidently hoped that this latter sum will be ma- terially increased when the whole of the returns are received. To be sure, the wisdom and consistency of our present precious Government are most remarkable. The Municipal Corporations Reform Bill is founded upon one great principle— that of the folly and injustice of self- election. Take Irom the Kentish Observer an account of what happened at Canterbury:— On Thursday, our illustrious body of Town Councillors proceeded to choose six Aldermen, under the provision contained in the Muni- cipal Corporation Act; and as they immediately saw there were not six persons in the whole city, out of their own body, worthy of being chosen, they forthwith chose each other— self- election being a thing which thpy always abominated. The august six were as follow:— John Brent, Henry Cooper, George Neame, Edward Plummer, William Masters, and Abraham Flint. — This is of apiece with Lord PALMERSTON'S conduct towards the Queens of SPAIN and PORTUGAL, in support of his Lordship's prin- ciple of non- intervention. The Blackburn Paper has the followingtVem in its list ofmarriages, with the note appended, which we also extract— On the 8th inst., at the parish Church, Blackburn Mr. JOHN NEWSHAM, " upright- worker," to Miss MARY FIIANKLAND. ( We insert this as sent to us ; but we think it necessary to enlighten our readers that " upright worker" is a new cognomen for " chimney- sweeper." Lord BROUGHAM is much better— he has been kept remarkably quiet, which, with a spare regimen and attention, are rapidly re- storing his Lordship to his usual state of health. There is no truth in the report of Lord FORBES'A intended resigna- tion of the Lord Lieutenancy, or his seat in Parliament for the county of Longford, on account of illness— on the contrary, his Lordship is rapidly recovering from his indisposition. We are sorry to state that the festivities at Apethorpe ( the seat of the Earl ot WESTMORELAND) have been damped by aserious accident, which befel one of the guests on Tuesday, about four o'clock.— The family and their visitors ( amongst whom was the Duke of WELLING- TON) had gone out for a drive as far as Cliffe, and, on their return, Mr. MITCHELL ( who was riding a spirited mare, belonging to Earl WESTMORELAND) was run away with for several miles, and as he was making a turn for the village, he came in contact with a wall, by which he was most seriously injured, and but little hopes are enter- tained of his recovery. Another case of death by MORISON'S Pills has come before a Coroner's Jury at Birmingham, who sat upon the body of a child aged sixteen months— Verdict, Died by taking MO. IISON'S Pills impro- perly administered. We have to submit, as we have every week, afresh proof of the ad- vantages derivable from the Poor Laws Amendment Act. Indeed, the more we see of the workings of this valuable measure, the greater becomes our admiration of it :— Thursday afternoon an inquest was held at the Red Lion public- honse, in Chamber- street, Goodman's- fields, before Mr. BAKER, on view of the body of HENRY MAGGISON, aged 33 years, who, it was re- ported, had died in consequence of having teen turned out of the work- house when in a dying state. The deceased had procured admission into a lodging- house in Rosemary- lane, where it was stated that he had lain for some hours after his death, during which time the rats had gnawed and horribly mutilated his face, although two persons slept in the same apartment. The overseers stated that the deceased had been expelled from the workhouse some weeks ago, in conse- quence of its having been represented to them by the parish surgeon that he was able to work. Had they been aware of liis actual condi- tion, he would on application, have been re- admitted. The Jury returned a verdict of— Died by the Visitation of GOD. Another inquest was held the same evening at the Elephant and Castle, in Camden- town, to investigate the circumstances attend- ing the death of CHARI. ES INNIS TURNBULL, an infant of 11 months old. It was currently rumoured that the infant met its death in con- sequence of exposure by the mother, who had been driven to the unnatural act through the harsh treatment of the parochial authori- ties. About 20 of the guardians, directors, and vestrymen of the parish were present during the investigation. Mr. EASTCOTT, of NO. 29, Gloucester- place, Camden- town, surgeon, examined— Saw the deceased child at the workhouse on Saturday morning last, when he heard it had been dropped ; it did not appear very ill; it teas cold, and appeared as if it had not had proper rest; the child seemed rather to want the mother's care than medicine; the child had never bi- en suckled: on Sunday morning the child had diarrhoea, and was looking very ill, and he ordered it a cordial and the warm bath; he saw the child again on Monday morning, and oh Tuesday morning he found it dead; the child appeared to have been brought up by hand; all children brought up by lii* nd held the thread of life by a very frail tenure ; it was difficult to say how death had been caused. Mr. WM. FURZE, of 43, Sejmonr- street, Euston- square, deposed to finding' the child on Tuesday week last, at nine o'clock in the mornin", exposed in a basket, in Drummond- fields ; the basket was in a hole about 20 yards from any house; knew the mother of de- ceased before she was delivered; she was in the habit of calling at the University. WILLIAM HENRY COLE, a lad, 11 years of age, of No. 9, Euston' mews, deposed to the mother of the deceased giving him a basket, desiring him to take it to No. 9, Euston- square; on placing the bas- ket in the passage of that house, the cry of a child proceeded from the former, when a man present threatened if he did not take the child away to carry him to the station- house ; the woman who gave him the basket ran away, and he deposited it in the fields ; this was about eight or nine o'clock. . AMBROSE COVENEY, police constable 188, examined— On the night in question a gentleman informed him a child had bera dropped; on going towards the spot, he found that some person had been there and removed it towards the railings of the Crescent; he took the child to the workhouse; he apprehended the mother and took her before the Magistrates, but she was discharged. MARY TL- RXBULL deposed, that the mother of the deceased was witness's daughter; she was 17 years of age, and the child was born on the 24th of October last; her daughter went to the workhouse of St. Pancras on the day deceased was exposed; her daughter had been repeatedly to the overseers of the parish, and could never get any assisr tance at all; she left her daughter at the workhouse ; when her daughter came home, between three and four o'clock, she told wit- ness she had been turned out of the workhwise without any assistance: her daughter told her that the board said she must take the child, and leave it at the father's; witness told her that as the board refused to assist her, she had better look for the father; her daughter went out for that purpose. MARY HAWKESWORTH, assistant nurse at the workhouse, deposed to the deceased being very well the first time it was brought to the workhouse, viz. on Tuesday week last, and that it continued so up to the lime it left on Thursday; the child was brought again to the workhouse on Saturday last, aud then looked very pale ; the chiid died oil Tuesday morning about eight o'clock. Mr. KEYS, assistant overseer, who was not sworn, denied the state- ment of the mother. lie said the daughter was offered 2s. 6d. per week, which she refused, and that she was never turned out of the house. Mr. EASTCOTT was recalled, and stated that he did not think the deceased's death was accelerated by the exposure. Verdict— Natural Death. The Hon. JOHN DUTTON, the second son of Lord SHERBORNE, will shortly lead to the hymeneal altar, the beautiful and highly accom- plished Miss LAVINIA PARKER, youngest daughter of the Hon. Col. PARKER, brother of the Earl of MACCLESFIELD.— A marriage is also on the tapis between Viscount DEERHURST ( son of the Earl of COVENTRY) and Miss COCKERELL, daughter of Sir CHARLES COCKERELL.— The marriage of Lord COLCHESTER with the Hon. Miss LAW, daughter of the Dowager Lady ELLENBOROUGH, is to take place this month. We regret to announce the death of Sir ROBERT DUNDAS, Bart., of Beechwood, who expired on Monday lastftt his house in Heriot- row. Sir R OBERT'S illness must have been short, as he was out on Satur- day ; he was in the 75th year of his age, and very generally esteemed for the benevolence of his heart and excellence of his character.— Edinburgh Advertiser. It is announced that, in the event of a speedy dissolution of Parlia- ment, the Hon. WILLIAM SEBRIGHT LACELI. ES will be again brought forward as a candidate for the borough of Wakefield.— Sir GEORGE MURRAY will stand for the county of Roxborough, in the event of an election, in the place of Lord JOHN SCOTT, who, it is stated, wishes to retire from Parliament. Prince Edward's Island papers announce the death of Sir WILLIAM YOUNG, the Governor of that Colony, which took place on the 1st of December. Prince TALLEYRAND is again seriously indisposed— a disease of the heart is said to be the cause of his illness. THE NATIONAL DEBT.— The following was published in Tuesday's Gazette:— The Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury having cer- tified to the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, in pursuance of the Act 10th George IV., c. 2". sec. 1, that the actual surplus revenue of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, beyond the actual expenditure thereof, for the year ended 10th day of October, 1835, amounted to the sum of 1,549,904. 0s. 9{ d.; The Commissioners for the reduction of the National Debt hereby give notice, that the sum of 385,4761, 0s. 21.

A requisition, signed by nearly fifteen hundred of- the electors of the borough of Marylebone, has been forwarded to Lord TEIGNMOUTH,. who at present is residing at Brighton, requesting him to suffer himself to be put in nomination as a candidate to represent them in Parliament in the event of a vacancy or dissolution. A notice has been issued from the General Post Office that the mails for Lisbon will, in future, be made up and despatched every Saturday, instead of Friday, as heretofore. On Christmas day upwards of 1,200 of the villagers of the parishes near Winchester, in which the estate of the Duchess of BUCKINGHAM are comprised, were regaled by that benevolent lady with abundance of good old English cheer.

TITHES.— The following circular has been just issued from the Home Office, with the view, it is concluded, of obtaining information for a measnre to be brought forward in the approaching session:— " The favour of ail answer is requested to the following queries, which answer you will please to fill in, in the columns on the other side, according as the tithe is taken in kind or compounded for on view of the crop just before harvest, or compounded for by a money payment per acre, stating whether let on lease, aud for what term, or only compounded for from year to year ; and if any part is subject to a modus, or composition real, or prescriptive payment, you will bo pleased to state the quantity and culture of land so subject, and the amount, per acre, under the proper column :— " 1. Quere. The county in which the parish or estate is situate to which these queries apply. " 2. State the name of parish, and name and distance of market town usually frequented for sale of produce. " 3. State" how many acres does the said parish or estate contain, distinguishing the numbers of acres of arable, meadow, pasture or sheep- walk, and wood land. " 4. Is the parish or estate the property of a lay or ecclesiastical impropriator ? " 5. State, under the appropriate head on the other side, whether the tithe is taken in kind, or compounded for on view of each crop every year, or compounded for by an annual average money pay- ment," or by a corn rent; and state, in either of the two last cases, whether on lease, or the payment varied from year to year. " 6. In the first case state the amount of average market value of the tithe so taken in kind during the last seven years, without any deduction whatsoever. " 7. State the scale of prices at which the above value is calculated. " 8. State whether the whole parish or estate is subject to rectorial and vicarial tithes, and if to vicarial tithes, state the amonntin value of each description separately, and ( if any) the quantity and culture of land subject to any modus, composition, real or prescriptive pay- ment, and the amount of any such payment per acre. '• 9. If the tithe is taken in kind state the expenses of collecting, thrashing, and carrying the same to market. " 10. State the amount of all rates and taxes to which such tithe is subject. And the two sums referred to in Nos. 9 and 10, when sub- stracted from the marketable value of the tithe, will give the net value of the tithe. " 11. If compounded for on view of each crop, state the average annual value of the whole of the produce during the last seven years, without any deduction whatsoever; and also the prices on which each value was calculated ; the amount of such composition for such de- scription of land, and whether same has been made subject to rates; and if so, state the amount of such rates, which, deducted from the composition, will give the net value of the tithe. If you canuot answer the question in detail, give the whole composition. " 12. If under composition by a money payment, or on a corn rent for several years, or from year to year, state the amount of such com- position, when such composition was made, and for what term. " 13 What was the scale of prices on which such composition was calculated ? " 14. Is such composition received clear of all rates, or subject to them ? And, if the latter, state the amount of such rates, and the net value of such composition received by the tithe owner." On Thursday last, at the parish Church of Buckingham, after a most impressive and eloquent discourse by the Rev. W. F. HOOK, M. A., Vicar of Trinity Church, Coventry, who took his text from the 11th chapter of Acts, verse 29 and 30, the sum of 601. 13s. was col- lected in behalf of the distressed Irish Clergy. Mr. HOOK has, we are informed, consented at the _ general request of the gentry and Clergy present to publish the discourse. Died, on the 1st inst., at his Rectory at Crick, Northamptonshrire, after a. very short illness, the Rev. THOMAS SPEIDELL, B. D.— The loss of such a man as the Rev. Mr. SPEIDELL, says the Northampton Herald, will be long and deeply felt in many quarters. He will be regretted by his servants as an indulgent master; by his parishioners, particularly by the poor, as an attentive, benevolent and cha- ritable pastor; by his neighbours as a warm- hearted and chari- table friend; and by all those who, in this hour of England's peril, can estimate the value of a sincere patriot, as an honest and unaffected supporter of the British Protestant constitution. The living of Crick is in the gift of St. John's College, Oxford, the home wliere the deceased spent many years in early life both respected and esteemed, and which, among the several excellent in- cumbents it has produced, never sent forth to the care of any parish a more amiable or better intentioned man. This tribute to Mr. SPEIDELL'S character, proceeds from one that had full opportunities of knowing his worth, and who feels that every word of praise here written is abundantly due to his memory: •— Multus flebilis occidit. Nulli flebilior quam We have received also from another correspondent the following tribute to the same reverend gentleman. A more amiable and kind- hearted man did not live. He was possessed of an ample income ; and never did fortune bestow her bounty on one more worthy of it. His attention and beneficence to his parishioners was unlimited— he rather sought to discover than to avoid cases of distress, and never turned a deaf ear to the complaint of the poor man. Without osten- tation, he performed his religious duties with the greatest punctu- ality, and was ever ready to afford spiritual as well as temporal com- fort*. He was of a social and cheerful disposition, and his friends ever met with a hearty welcome at bis hospitable board. His man- ners were mild and pleasing, and he was in every respect a perfect gentleman. He never had an enemy, and those who best knew him will lament him most. Previous to the Christmas vacation the scholars belonging to the Grammar School, Oundle, presented a handsome piece of plate to the Rev. J. SHILLIBEER, A. M., Master, having on it the following inscription:—" Presented to the Rev. J. Shillibeer, A. M., Head Master of the Grammar School, Oundle, with the greatest gratitude and most perfect respect of his pupils.— Dec. 17,1835. The subscription for the distressed Irish Clergy, raised by the inhabitants of Blackheath and its vicinity, inconsequence of a public meeting held on the 18th ult., amounted last Saturday to 1,1681. 4s. 6d. The friends of the Establishment will be glad to learn that it is in contemplation to erect a new Church in Horsely Field, a situation where such an edifice has been long wanted, and where no doubt can exist that it will produce much good .— Birmingham Advertiser. A School- room capable of containing 200 boys and 200 girls, is about to be erected at Moxley, near Darlaston. It is intended to have it licensed as a place of worship, and the Rev. G. FISK, Rector of Darlaston, and the Rev. ISAAC CLARKSON, vicar of Wednesbury, will officiate alternately on Sunday evenings. The site, forty yards square, has been given by Lord FOLEY, and the necessary arrange- ments are in progress. REDUCTION OF TITHES.— The Rev. Dr. BLACKISTONE, Rector of Belbroughton, Worcestershire, at his late audit, made the liberal reduction of 15 per cent, to the tithe payers generally. The Rev. II. W. HILL, Rector of Rock, in the same county, remitted 10 per cent, on his amount of tithes.— The Rev. BARRE PHIPPS, Rector of Selsey, Sussex, has lately portrayed a liberal example by deducting 17J per cent, from his last tithe audit.— In Suffolk, the Hon. and Rev. F. HOTHAM, Rector of Dennington, at his audit, deducted 5 per cent, upon the composition for tithe, making in the whole 25 per cent, since the last valuation. The aged and poor of Dennington were regaled, at the Rectory, with a dinner, on Christmas- dav ; and bread and clothing were distributed to the poor in the parish. ' I he Rev. J. CURTEIS, Rector of Shelton with Hardwick, a « d the Rev. I nos. YOUNG, Rector of Necton, made an abatement ot 10 per cent. The Rev. G. TAYLOR, at his audit for the parish of Marlingford, returned 15 per cent, unsolicited; the Rev. EDWARD WILKINS, Rector of Hempstead and Lessingham, and the Rev. Il. J. PHILLIPS, of Great Welnetham, each made a reduction of 10 per cent, without solicita- tion. Anew chapel of Ease and burial ground, at Whitchurch, Salop, were lately consecrated by the Bishop ot the Diocese. The chapel and parsonage adjoining were built from lunds left bv the late Rector ofthe parish, the Earl of BRIDGEWATER. The present Countess purchased the land and presented it to the parish. 26 joI In b u l l . January 542. f } STOCK EXCHANGE.— SATURDAY. There has been some alteration in the Consol Market since onr last, and the notice of the Bank of England that advances made on Stock or other Securities may be held over till February, as well as the payment of the dividends'to the public, have both contributed to make money very easy; Consols for the Account at one period were as high as 9396 ; during the last day or two, however, the Market has been rather flatter, and at tbe close to- day the price for the Account was 92% sellers, and for Money 91 )£. An evidence of the abundance of - Money may be formed in the advance of Exchequer Bills which have risen to ' 21 to 24 pm.; and India Bonds are at 5 to 7. In the Foreign Market there has been considerable speculation in various of the Securities, particularly in Spanish and Portuguese Securities, and in the Republican Bonds. Spanish Bonds have been as high as 51 but they closed heavily this afternoon at 50V; Portuguese Bonds are at 84% for the Five per Cents., and 54% for the Three per Cents. Columbian fionds have been as high as 34 %, but have since receded to 33J^ ; Chilian Bonds touched upon 47, but left off at 46! f ; and Mexican, from 39, have gone back to 38 V. The Northern Bonds generally support their prices ; Russian Bonds are 109X ; Dutch Five per Cents. 103, the Two- and- a- Half per Cents. 55; and Belgian 101V. There has been a considerable degree of speculation in many of the Shares at improved prices ; among others the London and Dover have advanced to 1 % ; as it seems beyond doubt that the line selected by this Company is the most direct and desirable— it is in fact a continuation of the London and Greenwich, and the progress of the latter is considered as evidence of the certainty of its early maturity. The value of the cargo of the Asia, the loss of which vessel, with her Commander, in the river Hooghly, we noticed in ourlaSt, is esti- mated at three lacs of rupees. The association for the construction of the new harbour and railroad, 1o which we also there alluded, is, according to general report, fast advancing, and the trade of Calcutta will thus be relieved from an impediment which has pressed, par- ticularly of late years, so heavily upon it. The private letters from New York to- day state that the general estimate of the damage sustained bv the dreadful conflagration there, is from 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 dollars. 3 per Cent.

It was generally understood in Paris that the French government had officially intimated to Lord Granville that the ex- planations contained in the last message of President Jackson were satisfactory, so that no further delay would be opposed to the pay- ment of the instalments due out of the 25,000, OOOf. It is, therefore, not improbable that the address of the Deputies will contain some expression congratulating the King on the pacific issue of the differ- ences which had so seriously threatened war. We learn from Spain that the fort of Guetaria fell into the hands of the Carlists on the 31st, and we are intormed that they next intend attacking Lequieto. They are still besieging St. Sebastian. The taking of Guetaria, besides its moral effect, in raising the spirits of the partizans of Don Carlos is valuable to them as putting them in possession of a sea- port. A plan of reform in the German universities is to be laid before the Germanic Confederation this year ; it is proposed to takeaway from them the judicial powers with which they w eye invested in the middle ages, ana which are now found to be useless'or troublesome. We believe it is pretty certain that " his Excellency," Brevet- Lieut.- Colonel Evans, is quite sick of the Isle- o'- doggians. He is expected in London in a few days, and means to plead ill- health as an excuse for not joining the forces of her Most Christian Majesty again.— United Service Gazette. — DEAL AND WALMER CONSERVATIVE MEETING.— Deal, Jan. 8,1836. •— The annual dinner of the Deal aud Walmer Conservative mem- bers took place last evening at the Three King's Hotel, Deal. One hundred and thirty staunch and respectable Conservatives s; tt down to dinner at six o'clock. The excellent and talented Conservative member of the borough, Grove Price, Esq., took the chair, and filled it with his usual ability. The speeches of Mr. Price throughout the evening were marked by that eloquence, talent, and feeling, which so peculiarly distinguish this gentleman. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which the toasts and speeches were received, espe- cially those of Mr. Price, Sir Edward Knatchbull, Sir Brook Bridges, Mr.' Fector, Sir Richard Lee, the Rev. Mr. Gregory, Ac. Many gentlemen from Dover, Sandwich, Ramsgate, < ftc., attended the meeting, and all the Cinque Port pilots were present except, those absent on duty, and all the respectable and Conservative tradespeo- ple of Deal and Walmer. The meeting went off in every respect most admirably. DR. DIBDIN'S SUNDAY LIBRARY.
