This Company has been formed with a view to facilitate the communication between this country and America by means of steam. The Directors have already proceeded so far in obtaining a Charter from the Crown as to have got it signed by the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland. It has been in the usual manner transmitted to London for his Majesty's sign mannal, which will be affixed as soon as the subscription list of the Company shall have been to a reasonable extent completed. The most eligible port on the West Coast of Ireland has been selected for a Steam- packet Station— viz., Birturbuy Bay, in the county of Galway, from whence it is proposed to carry a Railroad in a direct line through Athlone to Dublin. The distance is only 110 miles, and the line of country presents unusual facilities for the formation of a Railroad ; the country being level, and containing abun- dance of materials necessary for the construction of the work. The average in- clination throughout the whole line is 1 in 672, and is obtained without any great embankments or deep cuttings, and will be entirely free from tunnels and viaducts. The Directors have to announce that they have an offer of as much land as will suffice for 20 miles of the Railroad; the ground requisite for wharfs, docks, stores, 100 acres of building ground on the margin of Birturbuy Bay, for ever, at a pepper- corn rent, and likewise the unanimous approval of all the landowners along the line. Proprietors of Five Shares will be entitled to a free passage in the Company s vessels between Liverpool and Dublin; Proprietors of Fifteen Shares to a free passage on the Railroad; Proprietors of Thirty Shares to a free passage in the Company's vessels between America and Birturbuy; and Proprietors of Ten. Shares will be entitled to a reduction of 10 per cent, on the current freights by the steam vessels, and the charges for carriage of goods by the Railroad. Ten Thousand Shares have been reserved by special agreement for America. Subscribers will not be liable for more than a deposit of per Share ( which must be paid on the alocation of Shares), until the Act of Parliament for con- structing the Railroad is obtained, nor will they afterwards be responsible for more than the amount of their respective Shares, which will be called for by instalments not exceeding per Share at any onetime, and at intervals of not less than two months between each call. Prospectus, fully detailing the plans and objects of the undertaking, may be had on application to the Bankers, Solicitors, and Engineers of the Company, in London and Dublin, at the Offices of the Company, 31, New Broad- street, London, and 51, Lower Sackville- street, Dublin; Messrs.

The following appeared in Tuesday's Gazette:— At the Court at Brighton, the lfith day of January, 1836, Present, the King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. His Majesty in Council was this day pleased to deliver the Great Seal to the Right Hon. Sir Charles Christopher Pepvs, Knight, • whereupon the oath of Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain was, by his Majesty's command, administered to him, and he took his plsce at the Board accordingly. This day the Right Hon. Henry Bickerstethwas, by his Majesty's command, sworn of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and took his place at the Board accordingly. Whitehall, Jan. 19, 1836. The King has been pleased to constitute and appoint the Right Hon. Henry Bickersteth Master or Keeper of the Rolls and Records in Chancery, the same being vacant by the surrender of the Right Hon. Sir Charles Christopher Pepys, Knt., now Chancellor of Great Britain. The King has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed under the Great Seal, granting the dignity of a Baron of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland unto the Right Hon. Sir Charles Christopher Pepys, Knt., Chancellor of that part of the said United Kingdom called Great Britain, and to the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, by the name, style, and title of Baron Cotten- ham, of Cottenham, in the county of Cambridge. The King has been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed nnder the Great Seal, granting the dignity of a Baroness of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, to the Hon. Mary Elizabeth Lady Campbell, wife of Sir John Campbell, Knt., his Majesty's Attorney- General, and eldest daughter of the Right Hon. James Baron Abinger, by the name, style, and title of Baroness Stratheden, of Cupar, in the county of Fife, and, at her decease, the dignity of a Baron of the said United Kingdom to the heirs male of the body of the said Mary Elizabeth Lady Campbell lawfully begotten by the said Sir John Campbell, by the name, style, and title of Baron Stratheden, of Cupar, in the county of Fife. The King has also been pleased to direct letters patent to be passed nnder the Great Seal, granting the dignity of a Baron of the United Kingdom of Great Britain ana Ireland nnto the Right Hon. Henry Bickersteth, Master or Keeper of the Rolls and Records in Chancery, and the heirs male of his body lawfully begotten, by the name, style, and title of Baron Langdale, of Langdale, in the county of West- moreland. The Paris papers of Monday announce the resignation of M. Humann, the Finance Minister, and the appointment of the Comte D'Argout, Governor of the Bank, and formerly a member of the Cabinet, as his successor. M. Humann, after the reply of the King to thg address, proposed a Bill for the definitive regulation of the accounts of 1835, and his budget for 1837. In the former he pro- posed a plan for the redaction of the interest of the Five per Cent. Stock, as alleged, without the sanction of his colleagues in the Cabinet. The Duke of Broglie, in consequence, persisted in askingM. Humann's dismissal, and the Kingaccepted his resignation. This decision prevents the dissolution of the Ministry for the present, as was confidently expected: and on Monday, the Due de Broglie stated that the Government has no intention of proposing during the present Session the conversion of the 5 per Cent, stock, and moreover if a proposition to such an effect were to be brought forward by any individual Member of the Chamber of Deputies, it would be opposed by the Ministers.— Fieschi and his accomplices have received copies of the act of accusation against them, and also notice for trial on the 30th inst. Morey's health is greatly improved, and he is now suffi- ciently strong to attend the trial. It is stated in one of the papers that two poisoned oranges were sent a few days ago in a packet to this prisoner. CLASSICAL CHAMBER CONCERTS.— A series of concerts under this name are about to be ffiven at Willis's Rootjjs by the leading quar- tette players. At the first concert, which takes place on Wednesday next, a new double quartette, by Spohr, is to be performed; also e new scena by Balte, and a new pianoforte duet by Moscheles. There can be no doubt that these concerts will furnish a rich treat to the musical world. The King's Theatre will open on Saturday, the 13th of February, with Bellini's new opera, La Straniara, in which the prima- donn'a, Mademoiselle Coleoni, will make her debut. A new ballet, entitled L'Amour au Fillage, will follow. The last new drama of Luke Somerton is likely to prove one of the most attractive which has ever been produced at the Adelphi Theatre, there being, it is said, upwards of 1,500 persons to witness its second representation on Tuesday last. LITERARY NOVELTIES AND CHEAP RE- PUBLICATIONS.— Amongthe various new works eminently entitled to notice at the present moment may be mentioned— The ' Eleventh volume of Colburn's Modern Novelists, containing Mr. Lister's admirable novel, " Granby;" the three volumes in one, with a portrait of the author, cfec., bound, for 6s.— Las Cases' Life, Exile, and Conversations of Napoleon ; forming a most curious Autobiography of the great Warrior. Eight parts, at one shilling each, have already appeared, and the whole is to be included in twenty parts, with twenty portraits, and other illustra- tions.— Petite Bibliotheqne des Dames; a collection of the best French Novels and Romances, in 40 vols., at only 2s. 6d. per volume, bound.— A Second Edition of " London and Londoners, a publica- tion describing, in the most pleasant and satirical vein, the peculia- rities of the inhabitants of this great Babel.— A Second and cheaper Edition of Poole's " Comic Sketch Book;" another and still more humorous illustration of English manners and society.— The Eleventh Part of Mr. Burke's History of the Landed Gentry, with the armo- rial bearings. Five more parts will complete this' important work, which will, for the first time, present to the public at large, historical and genealogical particulars of upwards of 1,200 of the most eminent families in the United Kingdom, and of above 100,000 individuals connected with them. . The remains of the much- lamented Sir THOMAS FARQUHAR were interred on Tuesday in the family vault under the Church of St. Martin's- in- the- Fields. The funeral was strictly private, and studiously unostentatious; but a just idea may be formed of the esteem and respect in which the worthy Baronet was held from the i ' j '' be shops in the neighbourhood of his late residence were closed on the day of the melancholy ceremony. Never did there live a man more riclllv deserving of the regard and regret of all who knew him well than Sir THOMAS FARBUHAR. With uncompromising integrity he combined unaffected liberality and kindness of heart, and with rigid strictness ofprinciple and firmness ofcharacter blended the tenderest and most affectionate qualities of the husband, the father, and the friend.— Morning Post, NAVAL AND MILITARY.

We are not prepared to say that such an exhibition, however vividly it displays the heartlessness of a creat and blustering im poster, is in any degree gratifying. The words which passed over the speaker's lips, spoken of a parent, however unnatural— or, as the case appears to he, natural— his conduct may be, ; are painful and revolting. We should advise Miss COURTF, NAY to publish a condensed statement of her case— for nobody j will read long statements; but we think, for the sake of human nature, the sou, under any circumstances, should not be brought forward to denounce his father. I The report we borrow from the Morning Post:— The following extraordinary scene took place at the Freemasons' Tavern on Monday, where a meeting had been gotten up by a few dozen persons for the purpose of forming £( a Law Reform and Anti- Oppression Society." Mr. WAKLET, M. P., took the chair, and after a lengthy harangue on the state of the law by Mr. FEARGUS O'CONNOR, Mr. MURPHY, a coal- merchant, rose to address the assembly, but was prevailed upon to give way by the Chairman to a youth of about fourteen or fifteen years of age, who presented him- | self on the platform and annonnced himself as a singular victim of i oppression. i Mr. Chairman ( said the Boy), in rising to address the Ladies and Gentlemen present, I hope that my youth, inexperience, and want of education, will plead in my favour. Let me ask you then at once if there was a monstrous creature, widely extending itself over the land— subtly deluding and destroying, solely that he may gratify his insatiable ambition, which aims at nothing less than sovereign : power— would it not be the duty of every lover of peace and happi- ness— Catholic, Protestant, and Dissenter, if they be loyal subjects— to unmask the wily monster, and hold up its true features to the : disgust and execrations of mankind? ( Hear, hear, hear.) Then ; Daniel O'Connell is yonr man— there he is— your grand model— the ultra- Arabian impostor, whose system of mob organisation, denun- ciation, and evocation of the wild " spirits of the vasty deep—" Great groans from the meeting, in which the speaker's voice was rowned for some minutes.) This monster is my father— this brute consigned my helples infancy to penury and starvation, and I now raise my voice to denounce him and hurl him down even as David smote Goliath. ( Great sensation.) He is the greatest humbug— the most arrant oppressor— of you all!! Hell play with the people like a pack of cards, and when ' they are soiled, and have served his game, he'll throw them away. The confusion and cries of order now became unanimous, amidst which the Chairman rose and said, This is totally irrelevant. Had I known the young Gentleman's obi- ct and his name— The Boy— My name is Daniel O'Connell. CHAIRMAN— Had I known that I should not have heard yon. X thought it was O'Connor. Mr. FEARGUS— Certainly not. I have nothing to say to him. Mr. MURPHY—' Tis all a tissue of falsehood. I'll defend Mr. O'Connell. Miss E. COURTENAY ( the mother of the boy)—' Tis false as himself, and that is as false as hell—' tis all true! After a few words from the Chairman, the boy retired. He is the same, we believe, who played Young Xorval at the Victoria Theatre some time back, and, according to his mother's account to some of the bystanders, whom she addressed, had been immured for eight or ten years in the Monastery of Clondalkin, in Ireland, from whence ^ he escaped some time baclt, and made his way to this country. Mr. BICKERSTETH, now made Lord LANGOALE, and Master of the Rolls, was, as we last week mentioned, bred a surgeon, and attended Lord and Lady OXFORB on a Continental tour in his professional capacity. He subsequently married one of her Ladyship's daughters, Lady JANE HARLEY, now Baroness LANGDALE. The Western Luminary gives the following account of the conduct ' of a Conservative Peer:— We have, within a very short period of time, had occasion to men- | tion the princely donations of Lord ROLLE to various charitable purposes: 1,0001. to the fund for the relief of the Irish Clergy, 1,0001. towards establishing a Chaplaincy in the Devon and Exeter Hospital, 5001. to the Lunatic Asylum; and in addition to these and various other munificent donations from the same source, we have great pleasure in recording the following:— Some time since it was thought expedient to erect a new Church in a distant part of the parish of Ilfracombe, called Lea; to this object, besides presenting^ handsome screen, his Lordship subscribed, we believe, 2001. When the Church was completed his Lordship visited it, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. DRAKE, of Springfield, who had been greatly instrumental in promoting the building of the Church, at which time his Lordship was informed that 9001. was required for an endowment previously to its consecration, of which little more than four hundred pounds were subscribed. His Lordship, without further solicitation or consideration, asked for pen and paper, and gave a check for the difference. What adds to the munificence of the gift, and exhibits his Lordship's generosity and warmth of heart, it should be observed, is that his Lordship' has no property whatever in this place. When shall we hear the like amongst the ( falsely called) Liberals ? The proceedings of the new- fangled Corporations are most gratify- ing— par example, the Kentish Observer says:— The Vandals of the Canterbury Corporation have commenced the work of demolition. The row of fine grown poplar trees in the Dane John Grove, long the attraction of the admirers of the picturesque, have, during the past week, been uprooted. The pitiful plea is, that the trees were dying at the top. The upper branches of one or two were, we believe, slightly decayed, but surely that was no reason for removing the whole row. If all the members ol the new Corpora- tion, whose upper stories are less bountifully supplied with vigorous j intellectual capabilities than the great mass of their fellow- citizens, I were to be ejected from their stations, the citizens would commence [ canvassing to- morrow for the election of an entire new body. The Newcastle Journal tells us the Radical members of the Town Council have begun to " agitate" the propriety of breaking up the Mansion- house establishment. On this subject a hand- bill was issued in the early part of the week, signed by the Aldermen and Councillors for St. Nicholas's ward, convening a meeting of the burgesses for that ward, to be held at the Dolphin Inn, in the Close. Alderman POTTER and Councillor DOUBLEDAY, who both aspire to the mayoralty, severally contended that to keep up an establishment at the Mansion- house, at an expense to the town of 3,0001., was absolutely unnecessary. Alderman FIFE also advocated the same course. Councillor NICHOL took a different view of the subject, and said, the adoption of the extreme measures now recommended would be repugnant to public feeling. He thought it was not too much to expect that, out of extensive funds such as the corpora- tion possessed, they should afford their chief magistrate a com- fortable, though certainly not an extravagantly upheld, residence in that town. Eventually, Mr. W, FORDYCE moved, " that it is the opinion of this meeting, that the establishment at the Mansion- house ought to be discontinued; and that a fair salary, at the discretion of the town council, be given to the Mayor." Mr. SPENCER seconded the motion. Mr. M. WATSON then moved, and Mr. G- HARRISON seconded, an amendment, that the Mansion- house be kept up, and the arrangements for that purpose be left entirely to the council. For the amendment fifteen hands only were held np and the original motion was carried by a large majority, amidst loud applause. We are getting on! The Northampton Herald gives the following account of the . Reformed Corporation of Banbury:— ! On looking over the list of councillors just chosen for Banbury we have been delighted to find our most sanguine expectations con- firmed. It is really quite refreshing, after so much Tory monopoly, to see how very little of the spirit so much detested and professed to be legislated against by the Radicals has been suffered to prevail. That our readers may share in the delight we feel, we present them with the following specimen of Radical honesty, modesty, and every other Radical virtue terminating in sty:— BOROUGH OF BANBURY. Names. Connections. T. R. Cobb Banker to Golbyt J. Wake Golby, banks with Cobb.. Lawyer to the Partner of Golby! T. Tims Father- in. law to Partner of Golby ! J. Mnnton banks with Cobb Partner of Golby! T. Golby ..... banks with Cobb. Cousin of Golby ! T. Hadland banks with Cobb Wool dealer to Golby ! L. Spnrratt .. .. banks with Cobb Dependent on Golby ! W.

Hill.... banks with Cobb, Just out of gaol after acting for Golby ! J. Wise banks with Cobb Surgeon to Golby! The corporate body, it is true, is changed, but how ? Why, a vulgar mean- minded Radical now governs Banbury, in liea of a noble and illustrious race that before only influenced it. Mr. COBB now flogs where Lord GUILDFORD befriended. Mr. COBB excites fears where Earl GUILDFORD conferred favours. The borough of Ban- bury was never in the money market till it became reformed. We regret to anounce the death of Lady CHARLOTTE LANE FOX, who expired on Sunday last, at Hornby Castle. DOMINICK RONAYNE, Esq., M. P., died suddenly of bilious fever on Friday se'nnight at his residence, Ardsallagh, in the county of Waterford. His death occasions a vacancy in the representation of the borough of Clonmel, for which Mr. O'DWYER is said to be coming forward as a candidate. Lord DUNSANY, a Conservative, has been elected an Irish Repre- sentative Peer, by a majority of 59 over his Ministerial opponent,. Lord LISMORK. The numbers were— for Lord DUNSANY, 80; for Lord LISMORE, 21. We regret to announce the demise of Colonel GORE, which took place at Dublin Castle, on Friday se'nnight. The Radicals of Marylebone have, it is said, determined upon starting Mr. THOMAS MURPHY ( O'CONNELL'S English coal merchant) as a candidate for the borough. It appears that the " Great Radical Association" ( which meets in SAVAGE'S large taproom, and where a number of them are instructed in politics every Sunday afternoon) have resolved to support him at all hazards, several of the leaders declaring that they will rather allow a Conservative to come in than a Whig. We are glad to learn that the Manchester Operative Conservative Association is progressing most prosperously, and that each succeed- ing week adds to the number of its members. A news- room has been opened for their accommodation— one gentleman has under- taken to supply it with the Standard newspaper gratuitously, and other gentlemen have engaged to furnish the Times, John Bull, and several provincial Conservative papers.— A similar association i » about tobe established at Wigan— a great number of members have already been enrolled. Several of the Paris papers affirm that the state of health of the Duke of ORLEANS, since his return from Africa, has created great uneasiness, and that in appearing at the balls given at the Tuileries he has only yielded to the exigencies of etiquette. The Messager disbelieves this report, and adds that the marriage of the Prince with the daughter of Don FRANCISCO de PAULO, Infante of Spain, is again seriously talked of. The Kentish Gazette says:— THE CANTERBURY CORPORATION.—" We have woted a wote of thanks to Lord JOHN RUSSELL and WILLIAM REX, the King, on wellum parchment— it's what 1 call doing the thing handsome, and shows that we intends in following up the footsteps of the old corruptionists to do the thing what s right," exclaimed one of the Blue new lights to a friend, as he recovered himself after stumbling down the Hall steps on the first night of the Council meeting. It is understood to be the intention of Government at the assembling of Parliament to renew the Bill now in operation for the relief of insolvent debtors. The present Act will expire at the termination of the next Sessions, and should a dissolution take place before it is renewed there will remain no law for the relief of insolvent debtors, except that relating to bankrupts, which i3 considerably a more ex- pensive jurisdiction. The Act under which the Insolvent Debtors' Court is constituted was extended to June, 1835, and from thence until the end of the next Sessions, therefore should Ministers meet the Parliament and only continue for a few days and dissolve without a renewal of the Act, it will be the means of the incarceration of hundreds of persons confined for debt. The Quotidienne states, after a letter from Vienna, that " the Count de la ALCUDIA, the Ambassador of CHARLES V., to the Court of Austria, has been received at a grand entertainment given by the Russian Ambassador, when he wore a diplomatic uniform and the in- signia of the Orders conferred upon him by his Sovereign." It is confidently rumoured in the military circles that the general inspection of the pensioners, which is now going on, is preparatory to the embodying of several regiments of those veterans for service in Ireland. It is probable they will also be selected for garrison duty at Gibraltar, < fcc. This measure, if carried into effect, will afford an important reinforcement to our army establishment at a compara- tively trivial expenditure.— Edinburgh Observer. The Western Luminary states that the Conservatives of Cornwall are about to make an united effort to throw off'the y. ke of thraldom which for some years past the Radicals have been successful in imposing on the Cornish constituency. On Tuesday last a most respectable and influential meeting of gentlemen of Conservative principles assembled at Truro, C. CARLYTON, Esq., Chairman, when resolutions were agreed to for the purpose of establishing a Protestant Conservative Association. A Protestant and Conservative Associa- tion has also been established for the hundred of West Penwith. Mr. SPEARMAN is appointed Assistant- Secretary to the Treasury, in the room of Mr. JAMES STEWART, who retires on account of ill health. He is succeeded by Mr. R. PENNINGTON as auditor of the Civil List.

But if the father should die before all the premiums are paid, no further payment will be required in order to secure the Endowment. The premiums may also be computed to cease, in the event of the death of the mother, or of either of the two parents who might die first; or it may be paid in one sum, or in annual sums, without any such life contingency. The premiums for endowing future boys only, or future gills only, are rather more than one- half of those for all children. The premiums payable during 22 years for endowing future children at 21 years of age are somewhat less than two- thirds of those in the above^ table. The premiums for endowing existing children are made returnable ( if desired) in case they do not attain the age of endowment. The parties endowing future children will be entitled to four- fifths of the profits, the above premiums being more than sufficient to enable the Society to fulfil its engagements.

JOHM BULL. best- dressed head in the empire. But we will not believe it— it CM only be a Bond- market report. ' *• ' file Times is incorrect in its statement of a " recent sub- mission of 3.000 insurgents in Tereul to the QUEEN'S Govern- ment :" but it is true that upwards of two hundred of the Westminster Foot- pads have established themselves in the KING'S camp. Lieutenant- Col. EVANS has been seriously ill; he is better, and. very wisely as it seems to us, is coming home for the meeting of Parliament— it having been ascer- tained by Lord JOHN from the registration, that if he vacates Westminster, Sir THOMAS COCHRANE will certainly succeed him. the majority of the House of Assembly, but of their con- stituents. The following leading article in the Kingston Chronicle of December 12th, is written in a tone which we regret, but which does not surprise us ; the systematic partiality evinced at a period when everything depends upon the even- handedness of justice, and the continued and increasing activity of the saintly party, under the auspices of the mild, amiable, and almost unconscious Lord ( iLENELG, naturally awaken the colonists to a sense of their positive danger. The Chronicle says:— Certainly there is no community of people on the face of the earth, who could have submitted more patiently to wrong, calumny, and oppression than the British colonists of the West Indies. When we look around us and see the vast continent of North and South Ame- rica boldly maintaining their independence, struggling against tyranny, and casting off the yoke of their European oppressors, we are surprised that the numerous provocations to resist unconstitu- tional measures have not given rise to more violent conflicts in the British colonies! And we can only attribute it to the strong affec- tion implanted in every British bosom towards the constitution and customs of our Native Father Land, that the repeated aggressions on the rights, property, and character of the proprietors of tho soil, have not totally alienated all regard for the Mother Country. The North American colonists, when they found their charter violated, asserted their independence; so did the Spanish colonists when oppressed by European rulers. But it appears the more pa- tiently we submit to degradation, injury, and insult, the greater are the wrongs our persecutors inflict. To appease the clamours of a base, cauling, hypocritical faction, the West India colonists generously consented to sacrifice one- third of their legal property, and to aid that party in their visionary views the thanks they get for the concession, is to be told by the t ools of the party they have served, that they are obstinate and perverse brutes, because they do not place the remainder of their fortunes, rights, and independence at the entire mercy of the persons by whom they have been abused, cheated, and betrayed for benefits conferred!—" We have at last," say they, " by dint of outcry and agitation, urged you to grant more than we expected or deserved ; it is now our turn to take advantage of your impolitic liberality. You have given us our share, but we want the whole. We desire to subject you to the yoke, to fleece you of all you possess, to impeach you behind your backs, striving to blast both your property and your reputation, and we shall only eulogize ana support a Governor who believes black to be white, ana white black, and who will turn the scales accordingly'." This may be very good logic in the opinion of Aldermanburynirelings, but we imagine those who respect constitutional principles, and who wish to maintain an honest independence will not be persuaded to sanction its justice, or to applaud exparte information, partial patronage, or executive monopoly of place. Such abuses were denounced, even under Tory sway! How, then, can they be tolerated under Whig- Radical rule. The question here put may be best answered by a return which will be moved for immediately after the opening of Par- liament, containing the names, offices, salaries, and emolu- ments of every individual appointed to new places, made and contrived under various liberal Acts of Parliament by his MAJESTY'S present Ministers. This, when granted, will do more to convince the country of the disinterested purity of a Whig- Radical Government, than a thousand speeches or tea thousand newspapers. On the 15th of December, just on the eve of the packet's departure, the Kingston Chronicle says— We trust sufficient evidence will be transmitted by this packet tt> show the egregious falsehood and calumny which have been circu- lated by the hireling crew who prey upon the resources of this colony, and are in league to subject the maligned and plundered inhabitants to the despotic sway of a greedy, fraudulent, and hypocritical faction — a party which disguises avarice and sensuality under the mask of religion, and pretending to be actuated by philanthropic motivesj perpetrates the grossest acts of tyranny and deceit. We entreat our British brother journalists to peruse our colonial debates, to criticise fairly the opinions of tne members, to observe the anxious and eager desire they evince to secure the cultivation of their estates— the fear expressed that, without a competent supply of British or European labourers, the staple productions ot the country must be abandoned ; and when they know that these sentiments are expressed by some of the wealthiest proprietors in the island, ana by the apprentice masters of thousands of intractable negroes, they must be convinced that nothing but the most deplorable prospects of future labour, could urge them to risk all the money they are worth to secure the aid of seasonable assistance. If negroes showed willingness to work, would their mas- ters vote such sums for foreign assistance ? Would they run the risk of importing people unseasoned to the climate ? The supposition is preposterous, and the one hundred thousand pounds voted for the promotion of European emigration must at once convince the in- credulous of the lazy and intractable disposition of the colonial negro. There is no doubt our sable population would have been much more willing and orderly than they are, had they not been misled by, ivicked advisers; but poisoned and perverted as their minds and principles have been by fanatics and political agitators, we rather wonder they are not worse than better, as if it had not been that they are amply provided with every necessary comfort of existence* instead of idleness and debauchery, we should have witnessed devas- tation and bloodshed! From these extracts, and a perusal of the debates to which this latter one refers, the reader will be able to form some- thing like an accurate judgment of the state of Jamaica. OUR remarks of last week upon the appointment, by Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE, of a half- caste'son of RAMMOHUN ROY to a writership in the East India Company's service, have called forth a number of correspondents, who respond in the strongest terms to the observations we made upon this most injudicious— it might almost be called fatal— step of this extremely learned but particularly ignorant Baronet. FOOTE— the Aristophanes of his day— in one of his farces, suggests to the borough of Bribe'ein the election of a wealthy " nigger," upon the incontrovertible principle, that as a good horse cannot be of a bad colour, a good representa- tive stands in precisely the same position; and the joke was at the time made practically natural by the declaration of a certain Lord, that he would actually return his black footman for one of his boroughs. This is extremely droll to be written in a farce, or said by a fool; and upon what those who know nothing about the matter would call justice, a black man is as good as a white one, in spite of what Lord BROUGHAM has written and pub- lished, in which he declares his opinion, that so long as GOD has made the distinction between the slave and the master, all efforts to mend the matter will be unavailing. But when we come to the government of an immense empire, which, to be retained, must be governed with an absolute power, and which power is only ours because we are enabled, by cir- cumstances of the most peculiar and delicate nature, to main- tain the mastery, the mattei' is wholly different. The appointment of this half- caste man will, in the first place, be considered an indignity by all our own servants civil and military. The half- caste would not be permitted to hold a commission even in a native regiment, to which all our Cadets are appointed as officers, and for a wise reason— that neither tiie black soldier nor the white one would obey him ; and yet Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE has put him in a position whence he may rise to the Governor- Generalship of India, as Sir CHARLES METCALFE has done, from a similar appointment. The individual pet of the President of the Board of Control, may of himself be nothing, and nobody; and GOD send— for the sake of British India— he may not; but there is the precedent, and how is it to be avoided or put dowi) ? The LONDON, JANUARY 24. THEIR MAJESTIES continue at Brighton, in good health. His Royal Highness the Dnke of CUMBERLAND will arrive in town either to- morrow or Tuesday. We are extremely glad to announce that her Royal High- ness the Duchess of CAMBRIDGE is rapidly recovering from a very severe indisposition. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA have during the week walked in Hyde Park, during the morning, and visited Drury Lane Theatre on Monday evening. On Wednesday, being the anniversary of the birth of his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX, a dinner will be given at the King's Arms Tavern, Kensington, in honour of the day. THE Ministerial jobs are for the present completed. All lias happened as we anticipated, except that Sir CHARLES TEPYS, being the immediate descendant of the Cottenham branch of his family, has taken the title of Cottenham, instead of Juniper, which in all probability would have been selected, lad he been son of Sir LUCAS instead of Sir WILLIAM WEL- AER, the paternal estate of the former being " Juniper Hill," near Leatherhead. Neither the appointments nor the Peerage of Lords COT- TENHAM and LANGDALE are to be questioned, so long as political feeling is to regulate promotions to the Bench. While their conservative and constitutional principles exclude such men as LYNDHURST, SUGDEN, PEMBERTON, and KNIGHT, from offices, which it is notorious to the whole country they could fill more advantageously to the Courts and the . country, it is rather a proof of good- luck on the part of the O'CON- XELL Ministry, that they were able to discover amongst the Whig- Radical barristers two men, who, however professionally inferior to those whom we have not invidiously named, do really possess characters and qualities which will enable them to avoid the absurdities of the discarded and rejected BROUGHAM, and steer clear in their Courts, of the ridicules which not unfrequentlv occur under the auspices of the noble and learned Lord DENMAN. So far, then, all has been done as decently as a job can be managed ; but there our praise must " cease and determine." The case of Sir JOHN CAMPBELL is one which, as we last week took the liberty of observing, is unparalleled in the annals of government, whether as refers to the conduct of the Minister or that of Sir JOHN CAMPBELL himself. As far as the Ministers are concerned, we explained last week the causes which induced them first to insult and then soothe his MAJESTY'S Attorney- General, by scornfully dis- daining him, and then creating his lady a Peeress of the United Kingdom. This process is much on a par with that, of a fellow who first knocks a man down, and then makes the . matter up by kissing his wife. Sir JOHN CAMPBELL either had or had not a claim to the vacant Mastership of the Rolls— it should seem he had none— for although we recollect hearing that BROUGHAM promised him the Chancellorship whenever he was Premier, the Mi- nisters, during BROUGHAM'S comical tenancy of the Seal, ap- pointed PEPYS over CAMPBELL'S head, and a general under- standing prevailed in the Courts that a Common Law Attorney- General was not, for the future, to look to an Equity Judge- ship as a matter of right. If CAMPBELL had no claim, therefore, no indignity was offered, and no compensation was due. If, on the other hand, he had a claim, his non- appoint- inent could only arise from his unfitness or unpopularity,— and, in consideration of the marked and pointed indignity cast upon him, his wife is made a Peeress ! Such a " compensa- tion occulte" must surely have been suggested by some merry J esuit. It is said there is some good thing in petto for him— that inay be, but the jobbing of the Peerage is not the less odd or extraordinary for that. We wish the citizens of Edinburgh to compare the eager joy with which their representative accepts a Peerage for his wife, with his late coarse and intem- perate abuse of the House of Lords, and judge of the sincerity with which he sneers at the emptiness of hereditary rank, when he pockets the grossest professional affront ever put upon a lawyer, for the sake of a title conferred for no earthly merit of his own, not even upon himself, but valuable and delightful to him merely because it is hereditary. The citizens of Edinburgh are shrewd men— they will decide npon facts before them, and treat accordingly their present representative, who, having first been insulted by the KING'S Ministers, accepts a valuable consideration to crawl after them again. By this proceeding, the ministerial opinion of his value, and his own estimate of what he is worth to anybody, have been sufficiently exemplified to induce the Edinburghians to follow the example so wisely offered by the electors of Dudley. MILITARY movements in Spain have been paralyzed by the severity of the weather. The massacre at Barcelona" has, however, excited the strongest possible sensation, as has the unqualified interference in behalf of Queen MUNOS and her daughter by the English naval commander, Captain IIYDE PARKER, who, in an official letter, declares that he is only obeying the orders of the British Government in interposing his influence in Iter behalf. In the City it is stated that the infatuated Lord PALMERSTON is about to throw off all disguise upon this question, and send out a force of 5,000 men to Spain. We cannot believe, even taking advan- tage of there being no Parliament sitting, that this vain and obstinate person will venture upon such a measure. It is quite true, that, if Spain be left to herself, the triumph of her rightful KING is certain— a triumph which, without the base' and unprincipled interference of powers pledged to neutrality, would be effected tranquilly, loyally, and without the loss of human life. Let the Downing- street Cupid give his bow a twang, and the word go forth to aid the MUNOSES, the struggle will be a protracted and bloody one. Upon whose head will the protraction of a servile war, and the blood to be spilled in it, rest ?— upon the weakest and ONE of the most important measures ever insiduously— the Irish say fraudulently— brought forward, is now hatching under the auspices of Archbishop WHATELY and Lord MOR- PETH. Conceive these persons as joint originators of a de- cidedly revolutionary change in the Irish Protestant Estab- lishment, in the shape of a new— not Tithe Bill, but an abolition of Tithe Bill, from which the objectionable appro- priation clause is to be omitted. For the furthering of this object, this Archbishop is collecting, to the extent of his power, the suffrages and declarations of the Protestant Clergy, many of whom have actually subscribed a memorial, expressive of the benefits which they believe to be derivable from it. Of this most extraordinary piece of monkey Maehievalism, the Warder says :— Lord MORPETH and Archbishop WHATELY are putting their ugly heads together to the formation of what we cannot doubt will be a monstrous birth, in the shape of a new Tithe Bill. An evening con- temporary states that its main principles will be the abandonment of the appropriation clause, and the divesting the Clergy of all personal right to tithes, and vesting their produce in an Ecclesiastical Board, by which salaries are to be dealt out to the parochial Clergy. " Now, our unqualified opinion is, that nothing good, fair, or honest to the interests of the Church can proceed from Dr. WHATELY. The enemy of Scriptural education cannot be the friend of a Chris- tian Church; and our hope is that the Whigs, of whom he is the creature, will not remain long enough in office to bring forward this new and masked measure of hostility against the Church. It is, we learn, artfully sought to obtain the signatures of the beneficed Clergy to an approval of the measure, but we earnestly caution them against this villanous agency to seduction and deception. The Clergy of the Established Church have hitherto stood edifyingly firm to their duty, amidst the sorest privations and most oppressive wrongs. Let them do nothing— commit themselves to nothing, without the appro- bation of their true and noble friend, his Grace the Lord Primate— let them " fight the good tight," faithfully to the last, and they may depend on it that their reward will be sure. As far as we have heard of this business it seems to us to be one, however meekly and unostentatiously produced, of the highest and most serious importance. It was upon that odious, unconstitutional, and Popish ap- propriation clause, that a Ministry was broken up. It was upou this odious Popish appropriation clause the last Billjwas lost— and it is upon this very clause that the Ministry will, whenever they try it again, be beaten to shivers. Therefore is it, that they abandon it: no doubt sanctioned by Mr. O'CONNELLhimself— and therefore ArchbishopWHATELY and Lord MORPETH are deputed to take the responsibility, having in point of fact none politically, to concoct a measure which, by abandoning the insurmountable objection, may wheedle a portion of the Irish Protestant Clergy, under the immediate influence of the Archbishop, to advocate the relinquishment of their rights, and the integrity of their property, into the hands of ANOTHER COMMISSION, by which the Church re- venues are to be managed, and from which they are to re- ceive such salaries as the said Commissioners shall decree. We trust the Clergy will hold their hands before they com- mit the suicidal act of signing any memorial, or other docu- ment, which may be construed into an approval of such a proposition, or a recognition of the principle upon which it is made. WE regret to hear— and so, no doubt, does that magnani- mous Liberator Louis PHILIPPE— that the state prisoners at Ham are, to all appearance, fast approaching the termination of the sufferings, to which they have been doomed, for pro- posing to King CHARLES the TENTH two measures, than which Louis PHILIPPE has carried half a score ten times stronger since his usurpation of his uncle's throne. Prince POLIGNAC is about to undergo a very serious operation; M. DE PEYRONNET lias lost the sight of one of his eyes; and M. DE CHANTELOUZE is confined to his bed. We think the CITIZEN- KING— the dear friend of Eng- land— had better avail himself of an opportunity to con- ciliate a portion, at least, of the French, by an act of hu- manity, and even justice, in releasing these unfortunate noblemen; nay, we go so far as to think that our Govern- ment, which has avowedly so great an influence with that of France, should suggest such a measure. We should, however, say that the CITIZEN- KING ought to do it as of his own free motion, in order to counteract the effects of a work just published in London, called a Summary of the Political Revelations, Album facsimiles of the Emigrant Prince, iu which his most liberal MAJESTY is convicted out of his own mouth, and under his own hand, of what, were his MAJESTY not at present a KING, we should be puzzled to call anything but that which they appear to be. After recounting a series of insincerities, tracasseries, and some- thing worse— all attested by the writing of the CITIZEN- KING himself, or liis accredited agents, DUMOURIEZ, De BROVAL, and GUILLHEIIMY—- the writer says:— Again, as Duke of ORLEANS and King of the FRENCH, this Prince has caused it to be superabundantly stated and written, " That he had never consented to bear arms against France, and that he never had accepted or received any assistance from foreign Powers." The whole is a gross and palpable falsehood. It should be said, on the contrary, that, notwithstanding his entreaties, address, sup- plications, and intrigues, the Duke of ORLEANS never inspired a sufficient degree of confidence in any of the Powers at war with France, to induce them to entrust him with authority or with an armed corps. As to the refusal of all assistance from foreign Governments, that shall be answered by the production of a witty and humorous letter of General DUMOURIEZ, where it will be seen that the latter re- proaches the Duke of ORLEANS with an act bordering on cowardice, in consequence of the Prince's apprehension of incurring the dis- pleasure of Great Britain, and by so doing, of putting in jeopardy his allowance from England of 2,0001. a year. The exhortation to Frenchmen, which follows this fact, we dare not print. The book will, however, lie as generally circulated through France as the acknowledged liberty of the press in that regenerated country will permit. AVE have received West India letters and papers up to the 17th of December. The community of Jamaica appears to be in a restless and discontented state. The unpopularity of Lord SLIGO increases hourly; a want of confidence, founded upon various mistakes and mis- statements in documents, avowedly and notoriously official, seems to pervade, not only moment that these appointments become general— which, thanks to Sir JOHN IIOBHOUSE, they decidedly will— some few years hence the Government will fall into the hands of those whose natural and laudable efforts will be exerted to drive us out of the regions, which we have usurped in the most arbitrary manner. In GOD'S name, let them have their im- mense country, and be independent, and sell us their cotton, and their indigo, and their amadavades, and their shawls and their crackers: it will make no difference to the present gene- ration, and the vast population of India, if not pestered and infuriated by Missionaries, whom they loathe and abhor, with- out understanding, will eventually become re- possessed of their own ; and the four- and- twenty respectable gentlemen will be deprived of what BUONAPARTE, while at St. Helena, called the " Imperium in Imperio of Leadenliall- street," and the British Empire will be just where it was before India ever belonged to it. The immediate results will be extremely disagreeable to the poor creature himself, because the officers of the army, who cannot be persuaded to admit a half- caste man into their society, or even into their charitable establishments, will na- turally be disgusted at seeing this person placed, on his arrival in India, on a higher footing than themselves— for the young Baboo's allowance as a writer will be four times greater than those of the military. As to the civil servants, they will prove themselves infinitely more civil than we an- ticipate, if they suffer their colleague to approach their pre- sence. If their acquiescence is enforced, the results we an- ticipate must eventually follow; and then England, at some future day, will have the gratification of recollecting, that the loss of the most magnificent possessions of the British nation was owing to the puddling liberality of Sir JOHN CAM HOB- HOUSE. SIR FRANCIS BURDETT has addressed the following letter to the electors of Westminster:— Gentlemen,— A frost having interrupted the sports of the field, I take up my pen to perform a work of supererogation, in noticing the last drowsy, feeble, Alexandrian epistle, from Derrynane, in which Mr. Daniel O'Connell, " like a wounded snake, drags his slow length along," and instead of saying every thing, as he promised, in one word, says nothing, or nothing to the purpose, in a multitude; exemplifying Dryden's remark, that " as much fruit is seldom found beneath a quantity of leaves, so much sense is seldom found beneath a multitude of words." I could not, however, help laughing, at the new and unexpected character he comes out in— not that of the fine gentleman, as we were led to expect, all redol < nt of civet, eau de rose, which might have induced us to exclaim, " See what a beau my granny is!" but that of grand inquisitor of the 19th cen- tury, denouncing blasphemy, and smelling of fire and faggot; " it made my lungs crow like Chanticleer at seeing him so deep contem- plative," and throwing away so much pious zeal and indignation, since the blasphemy ( if blasphemy it be) is none of mine, or if strong and apposite illustration, as I think it is, it appertains to Mr. Ralph, the historian, who wrote about a hundred years ago, and who lived and died, there being then no self- installed grand inquisitor, without reproach. With respect to the tie quoque Mr. Daniel O'Connell re- sorts to, it is in all cases a poor expedient, and in this altogether inapplicable. As I am fearful of being as tedious as himself, I will content myself with a denial of the correctness of ell his statements, with regard to me, my words, and actions. Mr. D. O'Connell is pleased to say much of gratitude is due to me for services past, evidently brought forward to envenom the malignity of his after remarks. This brings to my mind Dean Swift's saying, that every thing in Ireland is different to what it is everywhere else ; be it as it may, it appears cle arly, in this instance, that a personal offence cancels long years of service—" perierunt tempora longi ser- vilii." X'import e, as the French say, for, as 1 never calculated upon gratitude, I never felt disappointed at not meeting with it. " Nee te qucesiveris extra" is my maxim, and as it has sustained me through many trials, distresses, and difficulties, so it will enable me to bear with equanimity the disapprobation df Mr. Daniel O'Connell. To complain is weak at all times, and in this instance would be unjust, seeing Mr. Daniel O'Connell treats his country in the same way: so incapable is he of conceiving even the idea of acting from public principle, unalloyed by private motives, that he is ready to abandon his country in resentment at his expulsion from a club. Either this is the case, or his charge against me falls to the ground; but more of this anon. As he has paid my countrymen the compliment to address them, I will return it by addressing a few words to his. I would call upon them coolly to reflect, and ask themselves this question—" What, after all, has Mr. Daniel O'Connell done for us, the people of Ireland, that we should be called upon to pay him tribute ? " I would request of them to c all to mind his own state- ments to them at different periods, and they will find that, according to his own showing, he has done nothing. Even though they should attribute to him, solely and entirely, the whole credit of carrying the Roman Catholic Relief Bill ( which, for the sake of argument, I admit, though 1 deny the fact), but grant it, what then ?— hear him himself. It was only beneficial, he said, to a few noblemen and gentlemen, by admitting them into Parliament, but that for the people it did nothing; nor could any thing but the repeal of the Union be of any service to them. Thus, then, nothing was got for the people; it served his purpose indeed of agitation, and thereby producing rent; but when carried, was of course thrown aside, as no longer of any use. He next made a stalking- horse of the repeal question to continue the tribute, which question he evaded as long as he could, until it was forced upon him by the House. His failure in it was conspicuous and complete, and it was clearly shown to be mischievous- to all parties, but that the chief mischief would fall upon Ireland, besides weakening and endangering the stability of the empire. He has not, however, abandoned it— he cannot afford it— he might be left without a grievance to his back. Mr. Daniel O'Connell is no reasoner; although he talks much of demonstration, he cannot reason or demonstrate; he only declaims. He is a great adept at ringing the changes on a certain number of popular words and expressions, and topics well calculated to excite popular feelings, prejudices, and passions, and keep up a perpetual state of agitation and delusion, and thereby to increase his tribute; but as to being contented, or allowing his poor countrymen to be- come so, he never will. It is only in the foul atmosphere of agita- tion that he exists— he lives upon it, " like a toad upon the vapour of a dungeon;" it gratifies his vanity, and gives him power. But could the poor people of Ireland be prevailed upon to open their eyes and see their own interests, they would exclaim, like the frogs ia the fable to the boys pelting them, " this, which is sport to you, is death to us." In fact, Ireland seems to be relapsing into a state of barbarism under his influence, and, whatever may be the march of mind in other countries, there it appears to be retrograde; the whole state of society is unhinged by it; it depresses all industry, drives from the country that which it most stands in need of— capital, dries up the sources of employment, plucks the heart out of all enterprise, and leaves a miserable superabundant population, without resource, and almost without hope of relief. But to return to the charge brought against me by this most dis- interested patriot, this self- styled representative of the sufferings of Ireland, and, he adds, of its ancient faith. He is certainly not a very learned " Theban," even in the history of his own country, or he would know, that the ancient faith of Ireland was a pnre Chris- tianity, until Popery was introduced from England. His sufferings, according to the Irish Papers, amount to something between 18,0001. and 20,0001. a year, collected from a miserable, naked, starving people, made up of lean morsels torn from starving mouths, and rags from cold shivering limbs, extorted by turbulent, domineering priests, abusing their influence over the minds of a superstitious, ignorant people, they themselves at the same time standing so much in need of reliof. To the introduction of a Poor Law for that pur- pose, nevertheless, he has, till very lately, opposed himself; now, however, he has altered his mind upon that subject, and, to prove his sincerity, will doubtless take care that in any Poor Law Act that shall be proposed for Ireland, an appropriation clause shall be inserted, applying the surplus of the tribute to the purposes of the Act, after remunerating Mr. Daniel O'Connell, according to his own standard, for all the good he has done. Mr. Daniel O'Connell pro- claims aloud his disinterested and strong attachment to the present Administration; they have his warm, decided, cordial support; yet thus attached, thus anxious to uphold them for the sake of Ireland) the patriot is ready to sacrifice them, should he be expelled from Brookes's club. For this worthy cause he is ready, it seems, todestroy this Ministry, and to surrender up Ireland to those whom he calls its bitterest enemies; and thus, to gratify his own selfish spite, dissolve Mr. Shiel's " indissoluble compact," the existence of which, how- ever, Mr. Daniel O'Connell denies, and calls the assertion of it false, base, and disgraceful. Either Mr. O'Connell's personal feelings would carry him to this extent— either he would sacrifice Ireland to his own petty resentment, or my complaining of his conduct as a member of Brooks's Club could have none of the public consequences which he deprecates. It is only upon the assumption that he is a man likely to prefer his personal picque to what he declares the interest of Ireland, that the charge against me can be maintained; and if the Club forbear to take my letter to them into consideration, the world will be apt to judge that they estimate Mr. Daniel O'Connell's paid- for patriotism by the same standard. Those journalists also who have censured my letter, as tending to effect a breach between Mr. Daniel O'Connell and the Ministry, must think the same; for observe, all I said was, and say is, that a man who makes use of gross, offensive language, and shelters himself from the conse- quences, is an unfit and an unsafe member of any club. This is all I said. It was reserved for Mr. Daniel O'Connell and his partisans to proclaim that the quality of his boasted patriotism was such, that, if the members of Brookes's acted on the recognised principles of civilized society, he would withdraw his support from a Government, the first, he says, in English history, that did justice to Ireland. It was on this estimate of Mr. Daniel O'Connell's patriotism that the resolutions were founded, forwarded to me by Mr. Devear. Whether Mr. Daniel O'Connell is, or I myself am, most or least fitted for the society of Brookes's, is a private matter, although Mr. Daniel O'Connell endeavours to make it a public one, by magnanimously involving in it the fate of the Administration. There is not, how- ever, the least danger: he has had a glimpse of the terrible Orangemen of the north, and he flies to the skirts of the Whigs for shelter, as the drunken butler in the Tempest creeps beneath the gabardine of Caliban, to shelter himself from the storm. He is held by his strongest ties. I remain, Gentlemen, Your most obedient, humble servant, F. BURDETT. Sir FRANCIS BURDF. TT, in this letter, has taken the most efficient possible means of proving to Mr. O'CONNELL that he is not the faded gentleman which the Asritator represents him to be. His letter is full of vigour, of reading, of high spirit, and cutting humour. Sir FRANCIS BURDKTT has been a violent leader of a violent party— no man less cautious, no man more unguarded ; but who shall say that he ever exhi- bited a mercenary feeling, or ever flinched from the conse- quences of his temerity ? He worked to a certain point boldly— perhaps rashly ; the point at which he laboured, he carried ; and the Reform he advocated has been carried be- yond his most ardent expectations: he, therefore, is con- tented ; and having paid the penalty, in person and in purse, for his unrestrained and sometimes over- energetic exertions, prompted by a chivalrous feeling and an ardent disposition, he stops— not one step too soon— at the standing- place which he professedly intended to reach. Having attained this, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT no longer presses forward upon an interminable career. " We have obtained reform," says the Honourable Baronet. " It was all I sought— let us avail ourselves of our success, and see how the system works." O'CONNELL, on the contrary, rushes on, deaf to remonstrance and callous to insult, and, thirsting for money, to delude and hurry the wretched priest- ridden crea- tures of his will to all sorts of crime and inquity, for the sake of an income which the bloated pauper could never else ac- quire. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has a stake in the country, which is the surest guarantee for his political conduct. Self- interest, which regards a man's own possessions, and that which af- fects a precarious income derivable from priestly extortion, ; tre totally different in their character. No man alive is with- out a strong feeling of self- interest—" Self preservation is nature's first law;" and by this test ought we to try the flaring madness of O'CONNELL, and the gentlemanly con- duct of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. Up to a certain point, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, with his thirty or forty thousand a- year, or whatever it is, went heart and soul with the friends of liberty; the moment he finds these blinded friends of liberty running into extremes, which must plunge them and himself into anarchy and revolution, he calls a halt. " Thus far, and no farther," says Sir FRANCIS ; and to whom can a constituency listen with more reason or justice than a representative who, acting not only for them but him- self, says, " Heie, yo* e have each of you properties to preserve, respectability to maintain, happiness to secure— go no further — cast away this delusion, disbelieve the professions and pro- testations of the servile creature of Mammon, who robs the people whom he proclaims as paupers, and commits the truly Hibernian action of picking empty pockets. Look at O'CONNELL. With nothing, except Darrynane Abbey— and och ! what a place of an Abbey it is— and some paltry patrimony, with a whole crowd of sons and daughters, and cousins, and nephews and nieces— he being in point of fact, nobody— having no stake in the country, and living only upon agitation: it stands to reason, that the more he agitates, the more he gets, a fact clearly discernible from ( a simple observation of the violence of his mad nousense just before the periods of rent- collecting. And this mau is to be put in the minds of the electors of Westminster as an opponent of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, who, right or wrong, has maintained one consistent course of ultra- patriotism ( which we have always contemned and attacked, except for its consistency), and who now, feeling that all has been done that can be " safely done, pulls up, and stands steady. We do not mean to say that the cause of Mr. O'CONNELL'S excessively absurd, almost drivelling blarny, addressed to the Westminster electors, has in fact anything directly to do with politics, because Sir F. BURDETT'S only published objection to him was on account of his low, coarse vulgarity, and his conduct upon various occasions as connected with his position as a member of Brookes's Club. But one thing leads to another, and we rejoice to find that Sir FRANCIS completely justifies the opinions which, with a decided opposition to his Radical feelings and opinions, now happily set at rest by the concessions of an ultra- Radical Government, every man en- tertained of his personal character as an aristocratic gentleman.

JOHN did not eat, as Adam did, But yet was doom'd to sorrow:— For, though his Eve has Edend& le, He loses Edenboio'. C. IT is quite notorious that England is a fertile soil for spe- culation. That the undertakings of her people are not always triumphantly successful, witness the memorable, miserable year 1S25. But even supposing that vast profits should invariably arise to individual share- holders, from the execu- tion of such extensive projects, should we not pause to con- sider what other effects, generally prejudicial to society, may be producible by their completion ? Nobody, who looks at what is going on at this moment, with regard to the introduction of rail- roads all over the king- dom, can fail to be stricken, not only with the probable— nay, inevitable change, their adoption must eventually pro- duce in society, and all its concerns— but with the actual disfigurement, amounting almost, and entirely iu many places", to the positive destruction of the face of the country through which, under the authority of Acts of Parliament— how passed, we will not stop to inquire— they are to be peremptorily forced. It is absolutely necessary that the subject should be viewed in this light, before it is too late to check the increase of these gigantic nuisances, which their projectors, in hopes of profit, highly problematical under any circumstances, are thrusting in the eyes, and in the ears, and under the noses of thousands of the KING'S lieges, for the mere lucreof gain, derivable from the success of a system which, for all we see of it, is as likely to destroy the internal prosperity and happiness of the country, as any experiment that ever has been made by the present enlightened generation. That we are not exaggerating the evils which threaten the face of our beautiful island, by the encroachments of these? new baits for " Wealthy fools, with gold in store, " Who still desire to grow richer," anybody who will take the trouble to cast his eye along the line of one of them, which stretches along the vales of Middle- sex under Harrow, or visit the gigantic mound which is in a forward state of construction near Battersea, and which is to run close between two villas, the favourite residences of their ancient masters, will ascertain the general effect produceable all over the island. The uewly- built arch across the road leading from Battersea to the Wandsworth road, has beea carefully propped up, so that the work may be viewed without any difficulty or danger; and it will, we are sure, sat isfy the most inveterate advocate of the system, that the advantage of im- porting prawns fresh from Southampton into London every morning, or of scattering London thieves in all the villages between the metropolis and the coast every evening, will hardly compensate for the destruction not only of prospect, but of property, which must be the consequence of its com- pletion. In one case— in the quiet village of South Lambeth, which, from lying between two high roads, is, for its proximity to London, remarkably secluded and retired— an option is given, under the sanction of an Act of Parliament, to the principal landed proprietor, either to have a rail- road carried directly through his own grounds, close to his residence, or over the site of the two centre houses of a most respectable row, kaowtt as the Lawn, which has before it a spacious garden, prettily laid out and ornamented with a sheet of water— the two centre houses in that case, are to be pulled down, the lawn itself ploughed up, and the sheet of waler exterminated, to make way for this unsightly mound, over which, day and night, steam- engines are to rattle— engineers to swear, passengers to hoot, sheep to bl at, bullocks to roar, and pigs to grunt, within ten yards of the six houses which are to be spared, three on either side. The rail- road people, to be sure, are to give compensation for this destruction— but what can compensate either to a man who is happily and conveniently settled in the home of his fathers, or to a whole neighbourhood who have invested large sums of money in the purchase and improvement of their several residences, selected by them years since on account of their convenience, or the peculiar advantages which thev possess in their estimation? We hear, in the Ministerial papers, exaggerated statements of the tyranny of the Emperor of RUSSIA— we defy those journals to authenticate any one fact equally illustrative of tyranny with this, which we now quote, as having taken place in Russia since the accession of the present Emperor to its throne. The success of these speculations, as affecting the country generally, as we have already said, we most seriously doubt; as affecting the individual projectors, the thing is equally questionable ; the numerous accidents which daily take place even upon the few yet constructed and at work, and which of course will be multiplied in proportion to the number com- pleted, must shake the confidence of the public as regards their use in the way of travelling, while the unquestionable inconvenience of a journey, however perilously rapid the speed, to be undertaken from one point to another with- out the possibility of stopping at discretion— and under- taken too oil a road diverted from the ordinary courses of travelling and traffic— will naturally induce those whose means and occupations permit, to prefer the pace of ten miles an hour in or on a comfortable coach with four good horses, to being whirled through the air over a grooved ridge, whence, by the casual intervention of a pebble- stone thrown on the rail by the carelessness of a fool or the wantonness of a knave, they may be hurled into eternity without a chance of preservation. We do not speak without book: in order to show that ours is not idle declamation, we subjoin some of the rail- road acci- dents of the week. In a Dublin paper we find the following:— A young fellow, named G. THORNTON, aged eighteen years, one of the firemen belonging to the Dublin and Kingstown Railway Company, met with his death accidentally on Friday night last. The following are the facts as deposed to on " an inquest held by Alder- man LAMPREY:— JOHN MEADOWS, engineman, sworn: Was driving the nine o'clock train to Kingstown; stopped at Booterstown; de- ceased was on the engine as fireman; when the signal to proceed was given,' deceased said, " go on, go on," and went down off the engine ; ran along the line by the side of the train, beating one of his hands on his body as if to warm it; witness knelt down on the engine to examine one of the pump- pipes, the train moving very slowly at the time, and when about sixty or seventy yards from the station, felt a check on the chain, and called to the guard to know what was the matter, who replied, " there is something on the line;" witness immediately reversed the engine and stopped the train ; got down and found deceased lying across the rail on his face ; turned him on his back and found him dead; the train had then passed the deceased a few yards. THOMAS IRWIN, station- keeper at Booterstown, sworn: After starting the train, had returned into the house, when the watchman called him and said the train had stopped ; ran with a light, and found the deceased between the rails, as de- scribed by JOHN MEADOWS, dead. PETER KILBRIDE, guard, corro- borated the evidence of JOHN MEADOWS. The surgeon described the injuries received by deceased, which he considered sufficient to cause almost instant death. The jury returned a verdict of Acci- dental Death by incautiously leaving the train. This will of course be set down to the poor fellow's own indiscretion— men are not wise at all times— and death is a heavy punishment for endeavouring to warm oneself on a cold night. The Manchester Herald says:— On Tuesday afternoon, as the extra train of carriages which arrived at Wigan at five o'clock, were proceeding from Parkside to Wigan, the switch that turns to the line of road leading to Mr. EVANS'S col- liery, being left in a wrong direction, threw the engine and carriages off the line; a boy from Aston, of the name of JENKINS, being on the tender with the engineer, was thrown by the concussion between the engine and the tender, and was very severely injured ; having a com- pound fracture of the leg, together with extensive lacerations upon the other leg and thigh; a gentleman was also a little injured in the face. The engine was shattered to pieces. Veiy agreeable indeed. Then comes the Standard of Monday:— About seven o'clock last evening, a tremendous crash was heard near the Grammar School, Bermondsey- street. It was soon dis- covered that the crowns of two of the arches of the rail- road had Suddenly given way, and had, with their great superincumbent weight of brickwork and earth, become a heap of ruins. They were about thirty feet high; the piers are about four feet thick, of solid brickwork, and the crowns of the arches were a brick aud a half in thickness, with seven courses of bricks above. There were three courses of brickwork, about two feet thick, run longitudinally over the arches, for the sleepers to rest upon, and the spaces between, as far as the last arch but one, had been filled in with earth. On Mon- day last some cracks in the upper part of the work of the three last arches caused an apprehension of danger, and the second and third arches were shored up, but it should seem not effectually. It is thought that the binding power of the mortar employed in building the arches, which have Deen recently erected, must have been de- stroyed by the excessively sharp frosts. A number of workmen were employed this morning in shoring up the parts that appeared dan- gerous. Luckily this accident happened on Sunday evening, or else more serious consequences must have ensued. Oil the follow- ing morning, nevertheless, the engines aud carriages were tried in the presence of some scientific gentlemen from Cambridge and other places. This sounds as if there were no scientific men in London whose opinions might be advantageously taken upon the subject. The trips were made from the Spa Road to High- street, Deptford, a distance of upwards of two miles in four mi nutes. One of the scientific gentlemen having previously been conveyed from the top of Oxford- street, in an omnibus, to the Spa Road, a distance of about six miles, in order to find out the place where he was to mount the railroad ; thus expend- ing as much time in getting to his starting- point as would have carried him safe and sound to the enviable regions of " PLUCKROSE and PEPPERCORN, HOOKEY and KING," in Deptford Broadway itself. In BELGIUM, we perceive, the march of liberality is " pro- gressing." The official paper contains a Royal Ukase! in the following tenns :— " In order to prevent accidents at the places where the iron rail- roads cross the ordinary roads, canals, or rivers, persons on foot or on horseback, and carriages of all kinds, are not to proceed along the . roads in the sight of the train drawn by steam- engines till the latter have passed. They are to let the train pass, and remain at the dis- tance of ten yards. ; " The masters of ships, vessels, and boats of all kinds must anchor or stop at the distance of 100 yards from the bridge, which they • want to have opened, and cannot proceed till they receive permis- sion from the bridge- keeper, who is to let them pass as soon as the . train has gone by." It is clear that this order will compel all his Belgic MAJESTY'S subjects, and others, who may be travelling through that fine young country, to shut their eyes whenever a steam train is approaching— they are not to pass in sight of it, but to stand still at the distance often yards from it. How they are to avoid seeing the train, or how they are to be hidden from it, is not specified. This is mere absurdity— and we may be told that the acci- dents to which we have alluded, are the results of inexpe- rience, and that things will be very different when the engi- neers, and the firemen, and the watermen, and the coalmen, and the cinder- men, and the oil- men, and the pump- men, and the plug- men, and all the other concomitants of the new mode of travelling, get accustomed to their calling. But let us justify our doubts upon this flattering promise, by an ex- tract from a book just published, called " Impressions of America," written by Mr. POWER, the actor; a work avow- edly favourable, in all its parts, to the inhabitants of the United States, who, having received him with unbounded applause and hospitality, are most worthily bepraised by him in return. Mr. POWER gives the following details of two rail- road accidents, which occurred to himself during a brief residence in the United States. Mr. POWER says, in his Diary ( p. 131, vol. I.)— " FRIDAY, 8th.— At Amboy we took the rail- road, and every one was delighted to find the loco- motives were now in operation, anticipating a quiet and pleasant ride to Borden- town. For a time all went on well; various surmises were made as to our rate; some calculated it at twenty miles an hour ; D N and the Belgian Minister, Baron de B R, were disputing the point, watch in hand, when an alarm was given from the rear. Our attention was quickly arrested by cries of" stop the engine," coming from the windows of every carriage in the train. " On the halt being accomplished, the carriages were deserted in a moment, for it was discovered that one of those in the rear had been overturned, in consequence of the axle breaking— its occupants' fate as yet unknown. " I was soon on the spot, and what a scene was here to wit- ness ! Out of twenty- four persons, only one had escaped un- hurt— one man was dead, another dying, and five others had fractures more or less serious— a couple of ladies ( sisters), dreadfully wounded— the children of one of the two, little girls, with broken limbs." Mr. POWER proceeds to describe the magnanimity of a surgeon of the party, who, although two of his ribs were broken, performed all the services in his power. " It was," continues the writer, " full three hours before the wounded could be removed from the sandy bank on which they had been stretched; and it was an afflicting thing to see them lying here bloody and disfigured, exposed to the glare of a hot sun, without the possibility of procuring them shelter, for we were some miles from the nearest village when the acci- dent occurred." Mr. POWER proceeds to state that this accident happened upon a line " most carefully conducted ; the Messrs. STEVENS, men of great prudence and practical skill, being constantly on the road, and personally supervising every de- partment connected with the steam- boats and railways." This is a clear proof that even " great prudence and practical skill," exercised by constant attendants, are insufficient to guard against these murderous accidents. But at page 170 of the same volume, we find Mr. POWER involved in another " accident similar to the one that had on his last trip sometime since been attended by such fearful con- sequences." " We were proceeding," says Mr. POWER in this second affair, " luckily at a moderate pace" ( speed being the only object to be attained by the construction of these devilisms) " when the axle of the engine- tender broke in two. The car occupied by myself and three others led the van, yet the first intimation we got of the break- down of our tender was our running foul of it with a bump that fairly unshipped us all, pitching the occupiers of the hind- seats head- on into the laps of those vis- il- vis to them. Happily this was the worst of the present mischance. The engine was speedily arrested— a sound axle drawn from the near car to replace the one fractured— myself and the others belonging to the carriage thus hauled out of the line were stowed in a supernumerary elsewhere, and after a delay of some forty minutes, off we bowled again." We extract these specimens from a work avowedly favour- able to everything American ; and coupling these charming incidents, occurring to a casual traveller in that young country, in the course of a few weeks, with what we see recorded every day in our own newspapers, leave the lovers of ENGLAND, its beauties, and its comforts, to spend their money for the destruc- tion of the one, the disfigurement of the other, besides their own eventual discomfiture in the patronage of that, which never can be agreeable, never safe, never serviceable, and, as we verily believe, never profitable. A word, and only a word, we have to say— to our " CONSTANT READER, LYCOPHRON," in particular— as to our remarks of this day week, upon the manner the new Poor Law is carried into operation at Thaxted, in Essex. That " when a measure has become law, it is right to bow to it," we think we pretty well practised as regards Catholic Emanci- pation, Parliamentary Reform, & c. cfec., and ever since the first establishment of Bull; and that a " Magistrate is the last person who should oppose, or even appear to oppose the law," we readily grant. But mal- administration of the law is another matter ; and this it is to which we ourselves, and also the Magistrate whom Lord J. RUSSELL thought fit rashly and wrongfully to reprehend, objected. The case— in a nutshell— is this:— W. CROW, pauper, seventy- three, pulmonary consumptive, had ten- pence in bread, and one shilling and four- pence in money, a week, being put to sleep with a young, strong, large ruffian of thirty, epileptic, lunatic, so violent he beat the old people, attempted to mur- der his own father, half bit off the thumb of the constable sent to his father's aid, and had been accustomed to be chained to the ground; CROW, put to sleep with this man, and having shared his bed, and found what it was to do so, refused to continue to share it; appealed to the parish officers, who not providing another lodging, he took a bed for himself, for one shilling, out of one shilling and fonr- pence, leaving him ( besides ten- pence in bread) four- pence in money for washing, shaving, and other necessaries. So supported, he is ill; dies; inquiry follows; some ascribe his death to a consumption, some to a want of consumption. But amongst the evidence, there appears— thanks to the exertions and skill of Lord MAYNARD, Lord Lieutenant for the county— THIS— extracted, with difficulty, from the God of Physic for half the parish of Thaxted :— that CROW, being 73, and pulmonary consumptive, tea, butter, cheese, and bacon, were absolutely necessary for him. So swears Mr. MARSH, the Doctor! Mind that. MIND MORE, that Lord MAYNARD asked the Doctor if CROW could get tea, butter, cheese, and bacon, for a week, out of his four- pence, all he had in money after paying one shil- ling rent; ten- pence of his two shillings and two- pence being in bread, and ten pennyworth of bread— cheap, too cheap as bread is— being not too much for a week for a pulmonary consumptive man of 73. And MIND MOST, that the Black- Doser swore that he could not an- swer that question; which— as any child of eight years can answer that question— must mean of course, that the Doctor knew, CROW could NOT GET THOSE ARTICLES FOR THAT MONEY. So sure are we that " LYCOPHRON"— who is evidently a respecta- ble and reasonable man— must now see the matter in its true light, that we promise to publish anything next week that he sends us to the contrary. We subjoin— copied from an Essex paper of Tuesday— the Rev. Mr. JEE'S answer to Lord BRAYBROOKE, not Lord J. RUSSELL :— " Ficarage House, Thaxted, 6th Jan. 1836. " My Lord,— I did not reply to the letter of Lord J. RUSSELL, of which you sent me a copy, because I intended to call at the Home Office of the Secretary of State, the first time I had an opportunity. 1 did call soon afterwards, and sent in my card, but I did not see the Secretary. I wished to know the charge that had been made against me, in order that I might answer it, for it appears to me contrary to Vie first principles of justice to condemn a man unheard. " It is plainly evident Lord J. RUSSELL has received a wrong im- pression, arising out of a false accusation, and that, acting under that impression, he came to an unjust conclusion. " I am aware the ground of his Lordship's caution, is the opinion that I have resisted, and not, supported, the Poor Law Amendment Act; but I deny the charge in toto, and require the proof of it. I certainly object TO THE MODE of carrying that law into effect, as it is adopted here, and I have good reason to object; but that is a very different thing from resisting or opposing THE LAW. " That some of the aged poor of this parish have been treated with great harshness and neglect, no man, who has any regard to veracity, can deny. If, therefore, I have felt it my duty both as a minister of re- ligion, and a minister of justice, to prevent or mitigate this unne- cessary, and, as it appears to me, illegal severity, I do not think my- self censurable on that account: and, if I may not be allowed to administer the laws according to my own principles of justice, and the best advice lean obtain in doubtful cases, I shall decline to administer them at all. " I never solicited the appointment of a Justice of the Peace; nor do I know for certainty who recommended me to your Lordship's late kind father. But this I know: I have done my duty firmly and uprightly on all occasions; and no single Magistrate has enforced the laws with more vigour and success, in suppressing riots, and bring- ing daring offenders to justice, than myself. My house has often re- sembled a police office for many weeks, in all but the fair recom- pense for duty done. For nearly 30 years, no one ever waited five minutes for a warrant, if necessary, nor can complain of a want of immediate and proper attention; and certainly no man can complain of my ever doing an act of injustice, even when I have used the greatest authority. " Under these circumstances, my Lord, I did hope my services would have been appreciated in a different manner, as they have been by other Secretaries of State in the same Department as that of LordJ. RUSSELL, and even if I have found fault with the unfeeling and im- proper conduct of the Guardians and Overseers of the poor of my parish, who have rendered the new Poor Law odious and offensive to the people in general, I do not think I have committed any offence against the law of the land, which does not, as I am advised, require such extreme severity. But if, in using my most conscientious endea- vours to mitigate that severity, I have been judged to have done wrong, I have no desire whatever to retain an office which has been a heavy burden, and which was conferred upon me without any appli- cation on my part, by the late Lord Lieutenant of the county. " I am, my Lord, with great respect, " Your Lordship's very faithful and obedient servant, " THOMAS J EE. " To the Right Hon. Lord BRAYBROOKE, Lord Lieutenant of the county of Essex." This letter, whatever it may do upon that miniature of a man, and miniature of a Minister, Lord J. RUSSELL— who seems to have chosen ill the " hare" he meant to hunt— will, we think, make an impression, upon so worthy a man as Lord BRAYBROOKE. We think we ought to add, for Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S edifica- tion on this subject, that the prison workhouse of the Dunmow Union, which constitutes Mr. POWER'S sole nostrum and delight, has been erected within six yards of the fence of the Clergyman and Magistrate's grounds— I hat the common sewer has been made within eight yards, and the grinding mill about 15 yards, immediately under the best bed- room windows of the parsonage, and within twenty yards of the Clergyman's bed!— so that the Reverend Gen- tleman will have constantly under his view all the rogues, vaga- bonds, and prostitutes of the district, and all the noises, discords, and stench incidental to such a place under his nose and before his eyes. This mischief to be done to the house and living, which cannot be calculated at less than 5001., is not yet complete; but when the hateful building is occupied by its intended inmates, the damage can- not be under that sum: and this, after the present incumbent has expended two thousand pounds to render the residence comfortable. If Lord JOHN RUSSELL lends himself to this political persecution of Mr. JEE, who happens to be a most able, worthy, and respectable Clergyman, and a most useful and efficient Magistrate, with but the one failing of loving the KiNoand CONSTITUTION— he will praise and patronize Mr. POWER, and lend his mighty aid to the perfectation of the abominable nuisance to which we allude: but we cannot think that a gentleman like Lord JOHN— who, except the salary of his office, has nothing to exist upon but the spoils of the Church— can be so indifferent to its welfare, and that of its ministers as to make himself a party to this meanest and dirtiest of affairs. COLONEL NAPIER AND MR. BORTHWICK. We last week gave insertion to the letter of Mr. BORTH- WICK upon the subject of the affair pending between himself and Col. NAPIER— we now submit the Colonel's statement, with a letter appended from Mr. FALCONER, as we find them published in Wednesday's Morning Post:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE BATH AND DEVIZES GUARDIAN. Freshford, Jan. 14,1836. Sir— Mr. Peter Borthwick has, in the Bath Chronicle of this day, declared that my " conduct is not that of a soldier or a Gentleman." But Mr. Peter Borthwick is disqualified to judge of such matters for the following reasons:— First— It is utterly false to say, as Mr. Peter Borthwick has done, that I offered him a gratuitous insult. I exposed and punished a malignant and false insinuation to my prejudice, which he had caused to be inserted in the Bath Herald. He did not expect to be detected; but, being so, he is now writhing under the deserved punishment of his baseness. Secondly— It is false to say, as Mr. Peter Borthwick has done, that he did not dictate the paragraph in question, nor mean to insinuate anything to my prejudice thereby. The following letter from Capt. Versturme proves this falsehood:— CAPTAIN VERSTURME TO MR. MULLIGAN, EDITOR OF THE BATH HERALD. " Sir— I this afternoon received, to my extreme surprise, a note from Colonel Napier, stating that I was the person who delivered to you that paragraph in which his name is mentioned in connection with Mr. Borthwick and his gamekeeper, & c. I beg to call to your rememberance that I was the mere organ of communication between Mr. B. and yourself; and you wrote down what I said, as being to January 24. ' j o h n b u l l. 31 the best of my recollection what Mr. Borthwick wished to have in- serted. You must also recollect that I particularly stated to you that in case anything arose out of it you were to look to Mr. Borthwick for justification, or words to that effect. I therefore do not think you were justified in using my name, and drawing a controversy on me in reference to a subject that 1 am not in any way connected with, and " was even in ignorance of till it was communicated to me by chance coupling my name with this transaction.— 1 am, Sir, your servant, " L. Y. VERSTURME, Capt. H. S. " 1. Argyle- street, Saturday Evening, Jan 2,1836." Mr. Borthwick's challenge to me is founded, first, on the language I used towards him in my correspondence with Captain Versturme ; secondly, on the publication of the same language in the Bath Herald, namely, that with him 1 could have no communication, as between Gentlemen, until he had purged himself by a successful legal process from the stain cast upon him by the Guardian newspaper. Now, Capt. Versturme, in a letter to me, dated the 3d of January, writes as follows :—" I have, of course, made Mr. Borthwick acquainted with the whole of our correspondence on this subject, as being the princi- pal party concerned." Mr. Peter Borthwick was, therefore, on the 3d of January, in full possession of the affront which has so roused his courage, yet he suffered it to consume his entrails in silence. On the 9th ot January I published my opinion of Mr. Borthwick in the Hath Herald. Then it would appear that Mr. Peter Borthwick proceeded, as he says, to consult his friends, but it would appear also very' deliberately, since it was only on the 12th of January, ten days after 1 had given him the affront, and three days after 1 had published a declaration which rendered it safe for him to show his anger, that he sent me his first missive of valour, and by a servant. Finally, his second challenge, though dated the 12th, was only delivered to me on the 13th, yesterday, Thirdly — Mr. Peter Borthwick says, that though every charge made against him by the Guardian newspaper was proved to the letter, he would still be entitled to the privileges of a gentleman. To be proved a shameless liar, an insolvent under suspicious circumstances, a strolling actor, and the guilty inmate of a gaol, in fine, to be overwhelmed with infamy, under the burthen of which no man with the feeling of a gentleman could possibly live, would not, in Mr. Peter Borthwick's opinion, at all " disqualify him from meeting any gentleman on equal terms." Whether these charges can be proved or not remains to be seen, but they have been promulgated above fifteen months; they have been supported by documents, signed by many respectable persons, and Mr. Peter Borthwick has not yet disproved them. lie has indeed instituted legal proceedings against the proprietors of the Guardian, but only with relation to a part of the charges, and so far from pres- sing even that part forward with the warmth of an injured man, he, who might have brought his accusers to judgment ten months ago, paid certain expenses to put off the trial, and has thus shown no anxiety to remove this intolerable load of infamy from his shoulders. It is clear, therefore, that if a callous indifference to the vilest dis- place be a disqualification, Mr. Peter Borthwick is not qualified to judge of what belongs to a soldier and a gentleman ; neither is Mr. Peter Borthwick entitled to the usages of men of honour until he clears his character of the stain thus cast upon it. When he does so, I shall be quite ready to chastise him for his present insolence. WILLIAM NAPIER, Colonel. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BATH AND DEVIZES GUARDIAN. Sir,— I did not see the letter of Mr. Borthwick of J an. 6, in reply to a note of Colonel Napier, until too late to state in vour next paper the circumstances to which it refers, and which, in justice to Col. Napier, ought to be made public. , . , . One of my brothers and the son of Col. >, apier, who are both un- fortunately deaf and dumb, were desirous to fishin thecaual from off certain land in the possession of one of the tenants of the Cleverton estate, part of which is at present occupied by Mr. Borthwick. They asked permission of the tenant to go on the land, and received it; but if they had not asked or received permission, or had misinterpreted the reply to their request— which they did not— their trespass was not wilful, or one that, under the circumstances, could have exposed them to any legalpenalty ; or if it had exposed them to any penalty, what man would have taken advantage of them? While occupied, however, in fishing, Newth, whom Mr. Borthwick calls his game- keeper, came up and grossly assaulted them. The assault would have been a pitifully base act it they had not been deaf and dumb, and they being so, it was despicably cowardly. As soon as Colonel Napier heard of what had passed he very properly went out and gave Newth a severe beating. Is there any person who has a particle ot manly feeling who could censure Colonel Napier tor the act ? My father, the Rev. Dr. Falconer, on being partially informed of the transaction, and not being aware that the only person liable to any penalty was Newth, desired Mr. Cruttwell to prevent any legal proceedings, and 51. was most improperly paid, without the knowledge of Colonel Napier. . ,, Mr. Borthwick affects to he ignorant by whom the money was paid. He admits that he ordered the paragraph that appeared in the Hath Herald to be inserted, which plainly implies that the money was paid by Colonel Napier, though his letter shows that he knew the money passed through the hands of Mr. Cruttwell, and that he knew so much respecting the payment of the money as to prove him to have been fully aware that Colonel Napier did not pay it. 1 he weighty affairs of State being " of graver moment," may prevent Mr. Borthwick from condescending to know what cowardly assaults his reputed servants may commit; but it appears that they allow him sufficient time to display a petty malice, through anonymous para- graphs in a newspaper, against one whose name is the property of the pun appears also from the language of the letter of Mr. Borthwick that he approves of the base assault committed by Newth. When the public shall have seen so much evidence affecting the conduct of Mr. Borthwick as I have seen, no surprise will be felt that any object ofhis approbation should be despicable. Soon after the money was paid I was informed that the game- keeper had spent a portion of it in a pothouse, and had drunk Col. Napier's health! It this is true, a sum of 51. must have been paid by the gamekeeper to the Rev. Mr. Bythsea as part of some cunning device which I cannot explain, as it is as difficult to identify a five pound note as it is sometimes difficult, though not impossible, to identify persons who deny their identity. Your very obedient servant, THOMAS FALCONER, jun. London, 9, Gray's Inn- square, Friday, Jan. 8,1836. Of this affair we know nothing but what has been published, and which, as matter of intelligence, we submit to our readers. The language on both sides, it must be confessed, is rather of the strongest. JOHN BULL. SIR,— I am an Ecclesiastic of the old orthodox school, and as such I thank you for the notices you occasionally give us of the proceedings of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, and I beg you will continue them for the service of country Clerks. It is quite clear that the Society is on the eve of dissolution. It will not be long tolerated that the tracts and works which have been cir- culated for ahundred years, some of them written ( as is the case with Melmoth's Tract) by the founders of the Society, should be altered to please men whose principles are as odious to the great body of sub- scribers as their practices are mean. Let ineputitto the subscribers, whether they do not disclaim the religious principles of such a person as the author of the Velvet Cushion ? And why is he to be conciliated by men on the Tract Committee, who laugh at him and his tenets behind his back ? This line of conduct cannot be long pursued with impunity. And I wish to suggest, through your widely- spread Journal, that if a withdrawal from the Society is to be made, now is the time. The machinery for a new and orthodox Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge is prepared to our hands, in the firm of Messrs. RIVINGTON, who have j ast been deprived ofthe office they have held so long in Mr. CUNNINGHAM'S Society. I should pro- pose that a few friends should meet together at RI VINGTON'S, and write to all the subscribers to the Society for Promoting Christian Know- ledge, stating the change of principles which has taken place in that Society, and requesting them to withdraw their names from the same, and give their support to a really Christian Knowledge Society. There can be little doubt that the new institution would receive the support of most of the Episcopal Bench. But whether this be done or not, it will be the duty of all Clergymen who have obtained subscribers to the Society, by representing it as an orthodox institution, to warn those subscribers of their mistake; and whether a new Society can be immediately formed or not, steps may be immediately taken to damage the existing bed of heterodoxy. If the funds of the Society are no longer supported by the pure streams which flow from the purses of the true friends of the Church, but are made dependent on the bitter mineral springs of Harrow- on- the- Hill, and the low puddles of Pad- dington, they will soon dwindle into insignificance. I am, Sir, yours respectfully, D. D.' DR. KEATE. Several correspondents, who themselves heard, only by accident, of the subscription which has been some time open at Messrs. HAM- MERSLEY'S, in Pall- mall, for the presentation of plate to Dr. KEATE, by the noblemen and gentlemen educated at Eton, under his Head- Mastership, request us to urge upon those in whose hands the matter is, that the subscription should be advertised. When we consider the vast number of Eton men in all parts of our various colonies and abroad generally, indeed, in every quarter of the world, and that there is not a single Etonian educated under Dr. KEATE, but would feel distressed if deprived of the opportunity of contributing to this intended and deserved testimonial to the merits of his old master, we quite agree in the justness of the proposal of our correspondents, which we hope will be attended to and adopted. The long period of Dr. KEATE'S Head- Mastership, the distin- guished reputation in which he maintained the School, the high and unexceptionable character of his conduct in all respects, render it, not only a debt of gratitude to him, but an act of justice to the hun- dreds, aye thousands, brought up under his care, that information of the well- earned compliment about to be paid to him should be communicated to all, who during the time he presided there, were sent, as GRAINGER SO truly has it— " To where old Thames with conscious pride surveys Green Eton, blest abode of every Muse !

The death of Dr. BURTON causes a valuable preferment in the gift of the Crown to become vacant. Dr. BURTON was Regius Professor of Divinity, and one of the eight Canons of Christ Church, Oxford. He was appointed in 1829, on the demise of the then Bishop of Oxford, Dr. LLOYD. The Professorship goes with the Canonry, which latter is worth about 1,5001. per annum; the former only about 401. The Rectory of Ewelme is also attached to the Professor- ship of Divinity. The consecration of St. Andrew's Church, in the hamlet of Kingswood, in the parish of Ewell, Surrey, took place on the 14th inst. by the Lord Bishop of WINCHESTER. The Church is, erected on the estate of THOMAS ALCOCK, Esq., by whom and the Vicar of Ewell it is chiefly endowed. It has been built by the subscriptions of Mr. ALCOCK, the Clergy, gentry, and inhabitants of the parish, hamlet, and surrounding neighbourhood, and a grant from the Society for building Churches, to which the Bishop has added the munificent gift of 501. The Church has about 200 free sittings. The Bishops of WORCESTER and ROCHESTER, the Lord- Lieutenant ( Lord LYTTLETON), Lord REDESDALE, and the Hon. R. H. CLIVE, M. P., have each contributed lOOi. towards the proposed Worcester Church Bniiding Diocesan Society, the meeting for the promotion of which will take place on Tuesday next. A richly- chased, and very valuable silver coffee- pot was presented last week at a public dinner, bv the inhabitants of the town and parish of Redruth, Cornwall ( where the enemies of the Church are extremely numerous), to the Itev. Dr. TANCRED, as a memorial of their esteem and respect. The Dean and Chapter of Durham, in conjunction with Mr. TOWNSEND and Mr. DOUGLAS, Prebendaries of the Cathedral, have recently, with the consent of the Bishop of DURHAM, augmented the perpetual curacies of Howarth and Jarrow, by grants of property of the annual value of 1261. A very beautiful chased silver salver has been presented to the Rev. CHARLES A UGUSTUS THURLOW, the Minister of Scalby, in Scarbo- rough, b; v the residents of that place and neighbourhood, " as a " sincere though imperfect expression of the high sense they entertain of his exalted worth as a Clergyman of the Church of England." The Earl of COVENTRY forwarded, a few davs since, the very liberal donation of 50|. towards the repairs of the Abbey Church, Pershore. The Noble Lord had previously sent the sum of 251. towards the restoration of that beautiful specimen of architecture, St. Lawrence, in the Borough of Evesham. In 8 vol*. 8vo., 41. 14s. 6.1.

January 24, STOCK EXCHANGE.— SATURDAY. The Commissioners for the Compensation Claims purchased on Thursday to the extent of about a quarter of a million Consols, • which caused a considerable steadiness in the Market, this purchase being made at 91K, but since that period the Market has been flat, and the price for Money is 91, and tor the Account 91 Exche- quer Bills and India Bonds have both been heavy, the former bear- ing a premium of 17 to 19, and the latter are 3 to 5. The Spanish Bonds also have been heavy, and this has not been ranch relieved by a general understanding that a Loan has been con- tracted for Don Carlos, whose credit ( perhaps not on the Stock Ex- change) seems to stand on a basis not over agreeable to the owners of the Christinos Bonds. Portuguese Stock wears a flat appearance ; the Five per Cents, are at 83% 84, and the Three per Cents, are • 53- X 5t. There has been much steadiness in the Northern Bonds until to- day, when they became rather flatter; Russian are 109 %, and Dutch Five per Cents are at 108 sellers. In the Transatlantic Bonds, Chilian, which had advanced to 52, a rise of6 per cent., have receded to 50X- Columbian Bonds are at 33X, and Mexican at 38%.

ROTCH.— The following corres- pondence terminates the disagreeable business between Alderman Winchester and Mr. Rotch :— " Furnwal's Inn, Jan. 20,1836. " Sir— Having seen in the morning papers of this day a report of the proceedings of the Court of Lord Mayor and Aldermen, nolden yesterday, ana the conciliatory resolution adopted by the Court ( in which in a manner so honourable to yourself you at once expressed a readiness to concur), I have no hesitation in expressing to you my sincere regret that in a moment of excitement I addressed to vou, when Lord Mayor, the letters I did, and which I request you will do me the favour to consider as withdrawn; thereby terminating, I trust satisfactorily to your feelings, an affair which I am sorry to think must have been as painful to you as it has been to myself.— I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " To Mr. Alderman " Winchester.

" Benjamin Rotch, Esq." THE BREDALBANE CAUSE.— This important cause was decided by the Second Division of the Court of Session yesterday. The Marquis ofChandos was in Court. The Judges decided that the Marchioness of Chandos ( who is a daughter of the late Marquis of Bredalbane), was entitled to her legatim, which will put Lord Chandos in posses- sion of about 130,00W.— Edinburgh Courant.

" The History and Principles of Banking" should be in the hands of every man who wishes to be acquainted with the manner in which the money transactions of this great country are carried on."— Waterford Chronicle. "" His work may be advantageously consulted for a practical knowledge of tanking in all shapes, from the Bank of England down to Loan Banks, and the new law to facilitate the purchase of small annuities."— Spectator. " We have been highly pleased with its agreeable and instructive character, and we think that no man connected with trade should be without this book."— Monthly Review.
