London : Published by Charles Tilt, 86, Fleet- street. W ON DON, 30 th Jan., 1836.— Some of the Policemen ( as was JLA admitted by their Inspectors) imbibed and propagated a misconception injurious to a highly respectable Individual, who informed Colonel Rowan of it, and he opposed to the falsehood a complete refutation ; but it will be redressed, not only on account of the Individual alluded to ( who is happily so constituted as to sustain it well, invariably), but for the sake of others also.— This statement is upon oath, and cannot in any one point be disproved; it was contradicted by Mr. Clayton, of Lancaster- place, Waterloo- bridge, Solicitor, but he retracts such con- tradiction absolutely and entirely. N. B. Colonel Rowan consented to the discharge of a man in this case, in the early part of 1834 ; but his communication was intercepted, and not known, there- fore, till within the last few months.

Drummond, Charing- cross; the Messrs. Fuller, Cornhill. The still crowded state of the reversionary market, and the difficulty of equit- ably disposing of distant and contingent life interests, have led the Directors of this Society to the conviction that this great city still presents ample and unoc- cupied space for another establishment of this nature. The prosperity of similar institutions, the substantial character of the business to be transacted, and the more recent and accurate observations on the duration of human life, place the future success of this Society beyond all reasonable doubt. All the purchases will be of real or personal property, and their realization dependent on the extinction of human life, whose fluctuations, proverbially uncertain in individual instances, are on an extensive average smaller and better known than those of any other natural law on which financial enterprise can be based. Hence Reversionary Societies have no speculative character, but take their station among those less brilliant but more solid securities which prudent men select as growing property in which to make fixed investments for themselves and their children after them- Their advance commences cautiously until the purchases are realised, and the powers of compound interest felt, and then the Shareholders by means of their co- operative capital, rise steadily into the participation of acquisitions which would have been too great in amount, or too deferred in time, for any single pur- chaser to have adventured upon. Applications for Shares should be addressed, post paid, to the Directors, at the temporary office of the Company, 2, Royal- terrace, Adelphi, where prospectus and • information respecting the objects and advantages of tbe Society may also be 1 obtained.

SPAIN.— The Christinos have at length made a desperate attempt to commence operations. A plan was formed during the visit of the Minister at War to head- quarters, by which a combined movement in three distinct corps under Cordova, Espartero. and Evans, was to he made. The real attack was to be conducted by Cordova, and directed on Salinas, with the view of penetrating into the provinces, and clearing the road to St. Sebastian. Espartero was to distract, the attention of the enemy by an advance on the left, and on the right a similar operation was to be executed by Evans. Accordingly, on the 16h, Cordov a advaEced and attacked the Carlists, but he - was not supported by either Espartero or Evans, and attributes the failure to the " precipitate ardour " of his troops. That night he bivouacked on the heights of Arlaban, a league in advance of Salinas. On the following day, the Carlists being reinforced, attacked him, and drove him at the point of the bayonet into Vittoria; his retreat was covered by the French Legion, which alone saved his troops from destruction. What title the " auxiliaries" have to the character of British soldiers will be seen from the following ; they fled at the first shock, and most of them were, it is said, completely intoxicated before marching into the field. " Of what use to Isabella ( savs the Bulletin, published tOnate) are her powerful auxiliaries, Algerines, Polish, English, & c.? None; though it must be confessed, that had it not been for the French Foreign Legion, the Christinos would have had a great difficulty in finding their way back to Vittoria. They were foremost in the fight, but the bayonets of our intrepid volunteers drove them from every post. As to the English auxiliaries, nothing can be said in their favour; they stood not the first shock, and the Christinos themselves say thatthey were all drunk, even before they marched to the field of action. Who can longer doubt that, with the exception of the fortified jilaces, the whole of the provinces are in our posses- sion ? Our enemies cannot advance a step, whilst our army encamp wherever they please. We have had two brave officers wounded, Colonel Torres, of the 2d battalion of Castile, in the knee, and Colonel Aguirre, of the 3d battalion of Navarre, known as " La Riquette," in the arm. Three battalions only sufficed to keep in check one of the principal columns of the enemy ; they charged three times at the point of the bayonet, and have much suffered. We 3hall see what new plans Corilova will now adopt." The French Court of Peers has closed the proces monstre, con- demning to transportation MM. Cavacgnac, Berrier- Fontaine, Vig- nerte, Lebon- Guinard, Delente, De Ludre, and Marast; to 15 years' imprisonment, MM. Fouet, Granger, Villian, and Bourat; to 10 years'imprisonment, MM.

Lally- Tollendal and Guibaut were acquitted. CLASSICAL CHAMBER CONCERTS.— The first of the series, of these concerts took place on Wednesday, at Willis's Rooms, before a most numerous and fashionable audience, including many of the most, dis- tinguished dilettanti of the metropolis. We have no space for a lengthened notice of the performance— the music was of a highly refined description, and was executed with the most finished excel- lence. The concert reflects the highest credit on Mr. Mori and its other conductors, and it may safely be predicted that this series of performances will facilitate in this country the cultivation of music. The fifth Concert by the Society of British Musicians took place on Monday, and afforded much gratification to a very crowded audience. We beg to direct the attention of our readers to the following com- munication addressed to A. Rowland and Son, 20, Hatton Garden, London. Gentlemen,— I fake the earliest opportunity of relating the surprising virtues of your Macassar Oil on twoof my children, one seven, the other nine years of age— their hair came off on several parts of their heads, in patches the size of half- a- crown, and continued so. Alarmed at this circumstance, as there was no appear- ance of its comiug again, I tried several compositions, & c., without effect; when a lady, who had witnessed the extraordinary qualities of your Oil, entreated me fo try it, which I did; and after using four bottles, their Hair was completely Mcovered. You have liberty to refer any one to Your obedient Servant, Newington Green, Middlesex, November 17th. L. JOHNSON. Rowland's Macassar Oil prevents Hair from falling off or turning Grey; changes Grey Hair to its original colour; frees it from Scurf and Dandriff; and makes it beautifully soft and curly. Caution.— Ask for Rowland's Macassar Oil.— The lorcest price is 3s. 6d.— the next 7s.— 10s. 6d., and 21s. per bottle.— Impostors call their trash the " GENCINE"— offering it for sale under the lure of being cheap. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE COUNTY OF CARLOW. Gentlemen,— Mr. O'Connell, in a letter addressed to the " men of Westminster," has had the daring effrontery to repeat, in a more offensive manner, and to attempt to justify, the foul and oppro- brious epithets contained in his former calumnious reply to my ad- dress to you of the 20th of October. It was my determination, as stated in my letter of the 13th of November, hot to take any further notice of Mr. O'Connell's auda- cious assertions, but to wait patiently until nn opportunity was af- forded before a competent tribunaf of refuting his denials, and of proving, by indisputable evidence, that the statements contained in my address were, each and every of them, in substance, if not to the letter, correct. There is, however, a point beyond which it is impossible for human nature to endnre unmerited calumny ; and to submit longer in silence might be constructed into an admission on my part that Mr. O'Con- nell's assertions are founded in fact. It may be mightv convenient for him to talk about " the privacy of confidence being violated, and private letters published and misap- plied ;" but whose fault is it— and how stands the case between us on this point ? We entered into an engagement binding in honour on us both. I performed ray part; he forfeited his written guarantee. I had no redress, and the only satisfaction I could have was, by making the whole transaction public, to " preclude him from ever deceiving any one else again." Had Mr. O'Connell fulfilled his contract, and 1 had divulged either the conversation or the letters that had passed between us, ' I admit, I fairly admit," I should have richly merited the epithets he has be- stowed ; but when he basely abandoned his engagement, am I to be debarred the privilege of proving, from his own communications, that mv charge against him was well- founded ? I hold it to be an incontrovertible axiom in the laws which regulate the proceedings between man and man in affairs the fulfilment of which depends who ly on the honour of the parties, that, so long as both of them perform the compact they have entered into, so long every thing that passes between them of a confidential nature is to beheld sacred; but that whenever either of them violates his part of the engagement, from that moment every obligation of secrecy is by him discharged, and all that has occurred becomes the property of the aggrieved person, to be by him used in any manner that circum- stances may require, either in vindication of his own character, or in support of any charge he may feel compelled to make agamst the violator of the contract. If such were not the rule by which the conduct of mankind was governed and controlled, vast indeed wonld be the advantage which the knave would have over the unsuspecting and honest man ; the former would only have to delude his victim by plausible pretexts and promises, and by markiDg them " confidential," preclude his knavery from being established, whenever it suited his purpose to abandon or betray the party who had relied on and con- fided in his honour. Away then, 1 say, with all the cant and hypocrisy about breach of confidence: whatever implied understanding might have been sap- posed to exist, that the communications between Mr. O'Connell and myself were confidential, has been put an end to by Mr. O'Connell, who, by his previous conduct, justified me in the course 1 originally pursued; anil as he still persists in his atrocious attacks on my veracity, I feel myself fully warranted in publishing the private letter alluded to in my former address, of which Mr. O'Connell has, for obvious reasons," thought it most prudent not to take the slightest notice. I shall, however, refrain from doing so for the present; but if he has the hardihood to again give utterance to his vile slanders on my personal character and credibility, 1 will at once put to the test his veracity, and, by the production of that letter, give him an op- portunity of proving, either that he had sufficient authority for making " the unsolicited and unlooked- for communications to me, which in that letter he represents he hail, and of explaining whether it was in consequence of his being called on to account for, and refund, the second 1,0001., or for what, other reason, that the allure- ments he then held out were not realised— or, if h * cannot prove this satisfactorily, to convict him by his own handwriting of being little better than an impostor, and one on whose word no reliance is to be placed. In my former address I studiously avoided entering into any detail which might admit of even a colourable contradiction. My state- ment consisted of facts proved under Mr. O'Connell's handwriting, with the exception onlv of the last paragraph, relative to his applica tion of the second 1,0001.; this is the only part of my letter which he has ventured to contradict, and in so doing, he now asserts, that in seven lines T have published no less than six " distinct, direct, and wilful falsehoods." In his first letter he enumerated only five; like Falstaff's slain, the inventive genius of this " falsificator" increases the number each time the tale is told— how he makes out the sixth I know not, unless it be that he reckons his own assertion one. That I may not even now do Mr. O'Connell any injustice, I will here insert tiiat paragraph and his reply to it. My statement was, " That the second 1,0001. had been accounted for by his paying in cash 3501. to Mr. Baker, and after repeated ap- plications made for the balance, by giving him a bill for it at a long date, drawn by Mr. O'Connell on the same brewers as the 8001. before alluded to, was drawn on." Mr. O'Connell's assertion is, " thatit is false that the 1,0001. was accounted for in the way stated ; that he never paid 3501. or Is. to Mr. Baker; that Mr. Baker, nor any other person, ever applied to him, or had any occasion to apply to'him, for the balance; that he never gave Mr. Baker a bill for any sum upon any brewer or brewers, or any bill at any date; that neither the 8001., nor anypart of it, was paid fo any person by a bill drawn on any brewer, and that he never in his life drew a bill on any brewer." Now, gentlemen, it is possible that Mr. O'Connell may not with his own hands have either paid to Mr. Baker 3501. or delivered to him a hill for the balance ; but this I know, that Mr. O'Connell re- ceived from me 1,0001. in cash; that he had referred me to Mr. Baker as his agent, between whom and me he would stand for all expenses. It is admitted that 3501. was paid to Mr. Baker by some person or other, and 1 naturally inferred either by Mr. O'Connell or by his direction. Be that as it may, I was repeat- edly told, and so was mv solicitor, during the proceedings before the committee that several applications were made to Mr. O'Connell for the balance, that he at length did account for it by giving a bill at a long date on the same firm on whom the former bill was drawn ( said to be brewers in Dublin); that that bill was handed over to Mr. Baker; that on remonstrances being made against this mode of ac- counting for what had been received in cash, it was stated that Mr. O'Connell had added the interest and discount to the amount due, and that, as the former bill had been discounted, there would be no difficulty in getting this also discounted, and that ultimately Mr. Baker took the bill and agreed to consider it as cash. Whether the whole of this be " pure invention or wilful falsehood," I neither know nor care. I originally stated it, and now repeat it, on information given at the time by authority which neither myself nor my solicitor had any reason to doubt or suspect, and which I believe not even Mr. O'Connell himself will venture to impugn. Whether, therefore, the representations now made by Mr. O'Con- nell, or those communicated to me in August last, be the correct ones, I know not. They cannot both be true, and they are none of my fabrication. Mr. O'Connell asserts, that he acted throughout the business on behalf, and as the trustee, of Mr. Vigors, and that I knew it; this I distinctly and positively deny; indeed, so little did I suspect that such was'the case, that at the meeting on the 4th of August I told Mr. O'Connell that so secret had I kept everything that had passed between us, I had not even mentioned to Mr. Vigors one word about the terms or nature of oar engagement, and in confirma- tion of my statement 1 appealed to that gentleman, who instantly stated it was true ; and Mr. O'Connell then observed, that my con- duct throughout had been highly honourable. How, then, isit possible that I conlil have suspected, much less known, that Mr. O'Connell acted as the " surety " and agent only for Mr. Vigors? Such a cir- cumstance was never stated to me, and I never heard of it until 1 read Mr. O'Connell's letter. Indeed, his correspondence with me _ . advert. Mr. O'Con- nell in his last address accuses me of " having deluded him into a est opinions in politics." I proves throughout that such was not the fact. There is another subject to which I ought to "' mistaken opinion of entertaining honest utterly deny that I practised any deception upon him on this or on any other point; on every division that took place during the short time I had the honour of a seat in parliament I voted with the Govern- ment, and 1 would have supported every nsefnl measure of economy, retrenchment, and reform, which might have been brought forward. If Mr. O'Connell fancied that I would go beyond this, and vote for every measure which he might think proper " to propose, whether I approved of it or not, he had indeed deluded himself into a mistaken opinion of what would be my conduct; and he would have found that, on all such occasions, I should have acted as became the really inde- pendent representative of the county of Carlow. Gentlemen, I am well aware that in thus venturing to continue a controversy with Mr. O'Connell I labour under almost insurmount- able difficulties— that I am no match for him in the use, or rather abuse, of the English language, and that I subject myself to all the venom and rancour which his malignity and disappointment can give vent to. I console myself, however, with the reflection that " Magna est Veritas, et prceval'ebit," and that I have done some service to the public by exposing the double dealing of this agitating mendicant. I have now done with Mr. O'Connell. His conduct has compelled me to make these transactions public, and I appeal with confidence to the judgment of every honourable and impartial mind whether I am not fully justified in so doing; and whether his elegant epithets of " indiscribable vagabond," " faithless creature," and " mighty great liar," instead of being referrible to me, may not with more justice, propriety, and truth, be applied to a certain other individual ? Ben Jonson certainly foresaw this man when he described one who— " Gives forked counsel, fakes piovoking gold On either hand, and puts it up. Of so perplex'd a tongue, And loud withal, that would no* wag, nor scarce Lie still without a fee." I remain, Gentlemen, your most obedient and obliged servant, ALEXANDER RAPHAEL. Great Stanhope- street, . lan. 17,1836. The Ministerial papers state that the principal officers of the different branches of the Equity Courts are now busily employed in making out returns of the business of their Courts for 100 years past, with a view of making every practical improvement in the business in future. The Master- General of the Ordnance has appointed Lieutenant- Colonel TRELAWNEY to the command of the artillery at St. Helena, which completes the military establishment of that island.

It is understood that Lords Commissioners will be appointed to act in the absence of the Viceroy, as Lord MULGRAVE purposes to be present at the opening of the Session of Parliament The Radicals of Marylebone are actively canvassing for Mr. MURPHY. Many small quantifies of spirituous liquors have been wagered in the tap- rooms of St. Pancras upon the chance of his election, and the police have had a considerable increase of charges since the agitation commenced. Orders have been issued by the Home Secretary to all the Staffs ofthe Militia Regiments, commanding them to return their arms and accoutrements to the Ordnance Store- keepers, retaining a suffi- ciency for the use of one- half the strength of the Staff, as it existed previous to the last reduction. The Christian Advocate tells us that a few days ago the Arch- bishop of CANTERBURY received a visit from HENRY DRUMMONO, Esq., and Mr. WOODWARD, two of the twelve soi- disant apostles who lead the Irvingites. They presented to his Grace a written paper, requiring of him to take his mitre and put it on the floor, and they, or one of them, in the character of apostle, would put it upon his head— by way, we suppose, of restoring the apostolical succession. The Archbishop bowed, and said he would peruse the communica- tion. What next? O'GORMAN MAHON appeared in the Court of King's Bench, on Monday, to receive the judgment of the Court for his assault on Mr. WIGLEY, the solicitor. The sentence was that he should enter into his own recognizances of 5001., and find two sureties of ,1001. each to keep the peace towards all his MAJESTY'S subjects, particu- larly towards H. R. WIGLEY, for the period of five years. The Emperor NICHOLAS, it is said, has determined on bestowing the hand of his eldest daughter, the Princess OLGA, on OTHO, King of Greece.

VERE EOWARD NE VERE, Esq., eldest son of Sir AUBREY DE VERE, Bart., and nephew of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is to be High Sheriff of the county of Limerick for the present year. The following harmless anecdote was lately delivered by Mr. O'CONNELL, at an entertainment given to him at Stradbally, Queen's County:—" I remember once in Kerry a tenant of mine who went to a fair to sell a pig, and a fight commenced, and a neighbour came up to him and told him that there was a fight between the Murphys and the Orangemen. ' Well,' said he, ' what a scoundrel I am to mind selling a pig whilst, there is an Orangeman to be beaten.' He abandoned his pig, and lent most efficient aid in knocking down the Orangemen."

The Paris Advertiser states the number of barristers in France to be seven thousand, for whom there are about five thousand causes. There are four thousand attorneys, twelve thousand notaries, seven thousand magistrates, and twenty- two thousand doctors. Lord SONDES is seriously indisposed at his seat, Lees Court, near Faversham. The following comes from Leeds:— • FLIGHT OF A STEAM CARRIAGE.— Last Friday evening, about eight o'clock, as the " North Star" steam engine was proceeding on its way towards Selby, on the Leeds and Selby Railway, and was within about three miles of that place, the engineer had occasion to adjust one of the valves, and while stooping down for that purpose, acci- dentally fell off upon the road. Happily, he sustained no material injury;" but the engine unchecked, as the engineer had attempted, proceeded on its course at an increased and fearful velocity towards Selby. At this time, the only person with the engine was the fire- man,— for, fortunately, there was with the engine no carriages with passengers,— and_ he, unacquainted with the management of the engine, and. in his fear for consequences, leaped off, and was severely stunned. The " North Star" of course " held on its way," and like " GILPIN" of Edmonton memory, found the gates every where fly open at its approach, no one presuming to dispute the passage of one whe seemed to " ride a race," till it came to the West entrance of the depot at Selby, where the doors were shut, and the keepers absent. The " North Star," however, was not to be arrested in its course by the '• shadow of a shade" like that, and through the doors it went, carrying all impediments before it, till it finally wsas stopt by the great " number of carriages it encountered in the depot, some of which it very seriously damaged. If it had not been so arrested, the probability is, that it would have forced its way through the large doors at the front of the depot, and then over the jetty into the Ouse, for its steam was up, and then, gentle reader, and then— the " North Star" would have " dipped." Mr. WALKER, the police magistrate, died suddenly at Brussels last week. He had gone to that city for a few weeks' relaxation, and was found dead in his bed from apoplexy. His unexpected death lias caused very great regret amongst a numerous circle of friends and acquaintances, who knew and appreciated the qualities of his mind and character. He had recently occupied his leisure hours in writing and publishing a very agreeable and instructive periodical, which he called The Original. January 81. JOHN BULT, Just published.

On the 16th of January was also published, price Is., the First Number of THE ENTERTAINING LIBRARY of HISTORY and ANTIQUITIES.

The Series of Natural History commences with' THE ARCHITECTURE of BIRDS,' which is complete in One Volume, and contains 78 Woodcuts. The Series of History and Antiquities commences with ' POMPEII,' which is complete in Two Volumes, containing Eight Steel Engravings, and nearly 300 Woodcuts. London : CHARLES KNIGHT, 22, Lndgate- street. Under the Superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. On the 2d of January was published, pfice Is., the First Number of THE GALLERY of BRITISH PORTRAITS. The " Gallery of Portraits" published by the Society comprises the names of distinguished men of all countries. It is proposed, in this publication, to issue, as a distinct Series, the British portion of that work. The advantages offered to the public by this arrangement are the following:— 1. The portraits of those of our illustrious countrymen whose reputation, whether as Divines, Philosophers, Statesmen, Warriors, Poets, or Artists, is the most widely diffused, will be rendered more accessible to a great body of pur- chasers by being separated from the Class of Foreign Portraits. The British Series will be completed in about 80 Plates. 2. The plan of the British Gallery being to give one Portrait, w; ith its corres- 1 ponding Biography, in each Number, a selection may be made of Individuals, or Classes, by. t hose who may not be disposed to purchase the entire collection even of the British Portraits. The paging of each Memoir will be distinct, so that the Numbers may be arranged in Volumes according to the wishes of the possessor. To assist this arrangement, various Lists will be given at the conclusion of the Series. The publication will be continued Weekly. At the beginning of each Month the Portraits that will appear in that month will be announced. Those for January are AS follow : 1. SHAKSPEARE. I 3. CRANMER. 2. WILLIAM III. | 4. HOGARTH. The character which the " Gallery of Portraits" has universally obtained as a work of art, and the value of the Memoirs as a collection of Biography, are fully " borne out by its extensive sale. It is now proceeding regularly towards its com- pletion. The select Series which is now offered to the publie is calculated to place the most generally interesting portion of that work within the means of a still larger body of purchasers. London : CHARLES KNIGHT, 22, Ludgate- street. On Saturday the 6th of February will be published, price 6d., to be continued Weekly, the First Number of THE PICTORIAL BIBLE: being the OLD and NEW TES- TAMENTS according to the authorised Version, illustrated with many Hundred Wood- Cuts, representing the Historical Events, after the most cele- brated Pictures ; the Landscape Scenes, from Original Drawings or from Authen- tic Engravings ; and the Subjects of Natural History, of Costume, and of Anti- quities^ from the best sources. To which are added, Original Notes, chiefly ex- planatory of the Engravings, and of such passages connected with the History, Geography, Natural History, and Antiquities of the Sacred Scriptures as require observation. •** The principal feature of " The Pictorial Bible'' is defined by its Title. It is to make the Objects described or referred to in the Holy Scriptures familiar to the eye of the general reader. Atthe present time a " Picture- Bible" ( Bilder Bible) is publishing in Germany with remarkable success. The present work, however, differs considerably in its* plan from that and other illustrated Bibles. The immense treasures of art which the great Painters have bequeathed to us on Sacred Subjects will be here opened to all, as far as they are capable of being diffused through the medium of wood- engraving; the Landscape Scenes will be represented with that fidelity which we are now able to realise through the labours of recent travellers; and the other objects, whether of Natural History', of Costume, or of Antiquities, will be delineated with equal accuracy. These Illustrations will of themselves be as Notes of the most interesting and important character. The printed Notes will have precisely the same principle in view ; they will be chiefly devoted to an ex- planation of the objects mentioned in the Sacred Text. It is the wish of the con- ductors of this " Pictorial Bible" to render it a work universally acceptable to all denominations of Christians. While, therefore, the critical reader of the Scrip- tures will have to seek in other editions for comment of a theological nature— and such editions are as numerous as they are admirable— the Notes of the " Pictorial Bible" will be limited as we have already described. That such explanations, conceived in a spirit of sincere piety, and with due reference to their connection with the higher allusions of the Inspired Writers, may lead many readers to a more diligent perusal of the Scriptures, there can be no doubt; and some of the labours of the most learned commentators have been accordingly devoted to such points. The Notes to the " Pictorial Bible" will be written by several persons, each well acquainted with the branch which he undertakes ; and the whole will undergo the most careful editorial revision. The Illustrations of the Book of Ge- nesis are about Forty in number. Gn the 1st of March the First Part will be published, price Two Shillings. The Work will be completed in Eighteen or, at most. Twenty Parts, formingthree handsome super- royal octavo volumes. It will be printed on fine thick paper, with a new type. London : CHARLES KNIGfiT, 22, Ludgate- street.

FOR Coughs.— PECTORAL ESSENCE ot COLTSFOOT.— The herb Coltsfoot has long been distinguished for its excellent properties in the cure of Coughs, and other Pulmonary Complaints; and this Essence has, in the course of a long practice, been found the most safe and effectual remedy for Coughs, and all disorders of the lungs. It gently opens the breast, and imme- dietely gives liberty of breathing, without any danger of taking cold, and thus it affords great relief in Asthmatic complaints. It allays the tickling which pro- vokes frequent coughing, cleanses the small glands, relaxes the fibres, and thereby enlarges the cavities of the vessels. Thus it will prevent Consumptions, if taken before the lungs are ulcerated. It softens husky and dry Coughs, and heals raw- ness and soreness of the chest.— This Pectoral Essence is prepared by Jaines; Ryan, Surgeon in Bristol; and sold in Bottles at 2s. 9d. and 3s. 6d. each, by F. Newbery and Sons, 45, St. Paul's Church- yard; J, Sanger, 150, Oxford- street; and in most coun- try towns.— Observe, the name F. Newbery. 45. St. Paul's, is engraved in theStamp.

JOII BUKa'L. LONDON, JANUARY 31. THEIR MAJESTIES will come to town to- morrow, and re- main until after the opening of Parliament. The QUEEN will honour Drury Lane Theatre with her presence during the week. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND arrived in town on Monday, and proceeded on Tuesday to Brighton, on a visit to their" MAJESTIES. His Royal Highness returned to town at night. THURSDAY is fixed for the opening of one. of the most im- portant Sessions of Parliament which has ever been held— at all events— since the restoration of CHARLES the SECOND. In its outset— in that whicli is constitutionally called the KING'S Speech, will most probably originate some of those topics, the discussions and decision upon which, will be vitally important to the welfare, perhaps to the very existence, of the State. Strengthened by the avowed support of O'CONNELL, with- out which, that worthy personage, as well as his friend Mr. SHI EL, proclaims that they could not exist, the Ministers have the hardihood to face the representatives of the PEOPLE, in the hopes, by the favour of a Popish majority, to cling to the places which unhappily afford them the means of under- mining and eventually overthrowing the Constitution, which has been for ages the envy of the world. We are told that that paragon of Foreign Secretaries, Lord PALMERSTON, is about to urge the necessity of warlike measures; that even if he should abandon his intention of sending a large military force to Spain to compel the Spanish nation, at the point of the bayonet, to submit to the oppressions of fraud and usurpation, he will be obliged to call forth all the energies of the country, in order to counteract the bunglings and blunders of Lord DURHAM'S diplomacy in Russia, to aid which great purpose— unless we are greatly deceived— an increase of at least five thousand seamen will swell the navy estimates,— managed, however, so dexterously as to the time at which they will be called into action, as to throw the weight of the increased burthen of expenditure into the year in which the Cabinet feel tolerably confident that a Conservative Ministry will be in power. Canada, the Cape of Good Hope, and Jhe AVest Indies, all combine to place the exertions of Lord GLENIJLG in the most favourable point of view. The Canadas, if we may credit the most prudent and experienced men, are lost— the Cape of Good Hope placed in peril— and the West Indies, the real position of which has been mystified by false documents, equally the prey to bad government with Ireland. To save themselves, and keep themselves iu power— to overcome all the disgust and indignation which their in- numerable and inconceivably dirty jobs have excited through- | out the country, and the dread and apprehension of the worst results, which their weakness or their wickedness naturally produce— the Ministers, we repeat, place them- selves under the care and guidance of Mr. O'CONNELL ; and accordingly he comes spouting and bellowing in grand array, venting his abuse and invective in all directions, and proclaiming their might, and power, aud excellence. But we should think that Lord MELBOURNE, and his satellites, must begin to shake when they reflect upon Mr. O'CONNELL'S reception at Cork; when they ponder upon his hesitating visit to Birmingham, and the official refusals to meet him at the dinner there, sent by their particular friends the new Corporations ; or when they read that their patron and pro- tector was hooted, hustled, and turned out of the Com- mercial- rooins of the second greatest commercial town in the empire, amidst re- echoing shouts and cheers in honour of the KING— the CHURCH and STATE— WELLINGTON and PEEL. O'CONNELL is a big blustering man, and over a priest led population which trembles at the denunciations of divines who imbibe their precepts from the sacred College of Maynooth, has a great influence, of which there can be no greater proof than his success iu grinding the starving wretches whom he affects to love and pity, and living upon the collected miles of his much- injured countrymen. O'CONNELL in England is—• nobody; and if Lord MELBOURNE imagines that O'CONNELL'S character and respectability have been much improved by his conduct towards Mr. RAPHAEL, or the other affairs in which be has been concerned during the last six months, he is mis- taken. Men will go a great way to support Lord MELBOURNE and his colleagues— they will go a great way to get places for themselves— they will even submit to be kicked and spit upon, and take peerages for their relations; but, after what has passed, there are few men who will consent to be led and governed by Mr. O'CONNELL. A few days will open Lord MELBOURNE'S eyes to his posi- tion. All we have to say to the Conservatives at this junc- ture, is, that the country has its eyes upon them. Its hopes of security and salvation are in them, and in their firm and steady performance of the duties which have been imposed upon them. Constant and continued attendance in Parlia- ment— a disregard of everything but the importance of their exertions— a boldness not inconsistent with prudence— a zeal tempered with judgment, and a readiness and energy in co- operation, not to be qualified or deadened by timidity or selfishness, are absolutely necessary to the achievement of our rescue from the enemy. We believe the Conservatives never were stronger or more firmly united thau at present; Mr. O'CONNELL thinks so too, and so he says. We trust the events of the next few days will prove the justness of his opinion, and that we shall see them triumphing iu tte cause iu which we labour— of GOD, the KING, and the COUNTRY. WE have seen a gentleman just arrived from Spain. The Carlists are everywhere successful. The British force is nearly annihilated— they are starving— without clothes or shoes— hundreds have perished on different marches— the battalions are reduced from 600 men each to 150. Colonel EVANS is ill— the second in command, dangerously so— all the officers most anxious to get home— and the men availing themselves of every opportunity of deserting. In fact, without the open assistance of neutral England and France, the cause of the two QUEENS is at an end. SIR PHILIP C. DURHAM, one of the Conservative Mem- bers for Devizes, having been appointed to the Flag at Ports- mouth, announced on Friday to his constituents, that it has been unexpectedly intimated to him, that it would be necessary for him to resign his seat in Parliament. This is the trick of Sir HARRY NEALE played over again, in the teeth of the case of Admiral FLEMING, aud adds another proof to the many already established, of the desperate state iu which Ministers find themselves. What makes this matter more flagrant, is the fact, that Captain DUNDAS, the Radical candidate for Devizes, besan to canvass the electors on Friday, even before Sir PHILIP DUR- HAM'S resignation was made public, and that he, the said Captain DUNDAS, is said to have been appointed Flag- Captain to the said Admiral DURHAM, and is to be permitted— if he should be elected— to take and retain his seat in the House of Commons. Surely this cannot be the case. Whatever may be the ob- jection to the Flag Officer's sitting in Parliament, it must be infinitely stronger in the case of his Captain. With any other Ministry in power, we should say it was impossible— to this, nothing in the way of job is a difficulty. We trust some Con- servative will take the field, and, cheered by the success of Mr. ESTCOURT, rescue Devizes from the domination of the Lord President of the Council and all his petty dependents. By way of conclusion, we give the following from the Morning Post, exhibiting an instance of the exertion of direct Government influence in the new " purify" elections On the 26th of December all the men employed in the Ordnance Department who had votes for the municipal elections, were told by their officers, agreeable to instructions from the Ordnance Office, that they were at liberty to vote as they pleased. Three men ac- cordingly voted for the Conservatives. Last Monday week Colonels LEITH IIAY and FA xs HA WE went down to Dover, and instituted an in- quiry into the business, and asked the men why they had voted for the Conservatives ? " To please their officers," was the reply. On the return of the military commissioners to London orders were im- mediately sent down to turn these three men out of the house which they had rent free from the Government. Two lived on the heights, and one in the Castle, where he had been for the last thirty years. The men are still employed— the mean spite of the Ministerial agents contenting itself with depriving them of that home which was among the most important of the privileges attached to the Government service.— Correspondent of a Morning Paper. [ This shameful interference on the part of the MELBOURXE- O'COXXELT, Administration with the elective franchise was first noticed by us in the Morning Post of Wed- nesday last, although we were not aware that the Government would have resorted to such disreputable and despicable means as the trans- action referred to above discloses. 1 THE diabolical influence of O'CONNELL over the Govern- ment, whicli has been so often and so strenuously denied by his hungry creatures the Ministers themselves, has been again made manifest. It maybe recollected that after a refusal on the part of the Lord Lieutenant to permit either the civil or military force to be employed in the collection of tithes, the permission was eventually given. To this decision O'CONNELL made no evident opposition, and tithes have been collected, and the chances of it being received regularly, considerably improve. The next step, however— which anybody who will take the trouble to turn to a file of our paper will perceive was by us anticipated years ago— has befeu taken, and ( he Papists have refused to pay rent to the landlords. This gradation of revolt was certain ; but even we, who were quite prepared for the explosion, were by no means capable of imagining that the Government of Ireland was to link itself with the conspirators against the landed interest of the kingdom. The following thing lias been actually issued from Dublin Castle. We give it entire:— " CIRCULAR MEMORANDUM FOR THE INFORMATION AND GUIDANCE OF THE POLICE ESTABLISHMENT. " The Petty Sessions Act having directed that the constabulary shall not be employed in the levy of rents by distress except only in cases in which forcible resistance has been actually made, and is proved by information on oath, it is objectionable in a single Magis- trate, on the verbal unsworn statement of an individual, to giveorders for the attendance of the police in case where distresses have been made. " THE ACT OF PATROLLING IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD IS SUBSTAN- TIALLY ASSISTING THOSE WHO HAVE DISTRAINED; andiu all cases in which assistance is required, unless where forcible resistance has been made', and is . sworn to, the propriety of directing it to be given should be referred to Government. " The police should understand that their duty on such occasions is strictly limited to the preservation of the peace, and that they are not to take part in the proceedings. " Dublin Castle. " T. DRUMMOXD." It will be observed that the system of prevention of outrage is prohibited, and that the act of patrolling in the neighbour- hood of people refusing to pay rents, is illegal, because it assists the landlord in the recovery of what is his own— Does not the fact of distraining prove the fact of refusal ? It is quite true that Lord MULGRAVE has no land in Ireland, and very little anywhere else— so that his Excellency cannot be a sufferer by this rebellious denial of right. But we suspect that amongst other matters connected with the Administration of the sister island aud its most distinguished natives, this, to which we now call attention, will not pass unnoticed. It is so far beyond belief that even now we think the document must be an impudent forgery. WE understand that Lord BROUGHAM is suffering under a painful complaint, to which he has long been subject. It was generally reported that his Lordship's disorder was Dis- PEPYS- z'ff. TOM KINS, however, ill or well, must have his joke; and it is confidently reported, that the moment he heard of Lord COTTENHAM'S appointment as Chancellor, he wrote an ante- dated letter to Lord MELBOURNE, begging the Premier to assure himself of every friendly co- operation in his power short of accepting the Great Seal— his health ren- dering that sacrifice wholly out of the question. This story we believe— but we do not credit the report, that when Lord MELBOURNE offered his Lordship the Mastership of the Rolls, he proposed, as a soother, to create his Lordship's mother a BARONET! MR. HUME has got himself into a scrape, out of which— as he has not, like his dear friend Mr. O'CONNELL, a vow registered in Heaven— we do not see how he can well get. It seems he has been letting his loosely- hung tongue wag, without waiting to know what lie was talking about. Sir PETER LAURIE, who is rather a cleverer man than HUME, and without one fiftieth part of his pretensions, does not choose to be talked about in the way Mr. HUME thinks it wise to speak of him, and accordingly we find in the Morning Chronicle two letters, one from our present aud never- to- be re- elected representative, admitting himself wrong, and another from Sir PETF. R most severely setting him right. Than the letter of Sir PETER, the much to be pitied JOSEPH has not had a much severer drubbing for many a day. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Bryanston- square, Jan. 25, 1836. Sir,— I hasten to correct an error in my letter in the Chronicle of this day, in stating that " Sir John Gibbon was present at the meet- ing at Staines, when a charge of using magisterial influence to obtain votes was made against him." A gentleman called upon me this day, and assured me that ho knows the voter, and heard him frankly confess that lie had given his vote with the understanding that i} ir John was to use his best endeavours to procure a license for him, as he had promised; but that Sir John was not present at the time when the charge was made. I am sorry to have made this mistake, although it does not alter the general complaint I have made, that thereis a large majority of Tory Magistrates in the county, and that their official influence is exercised against Reform and Reformers. I remain, your obedient servant, JOSEPH HUME. SIR PETER LAURIE AND MR. HUME. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,— Mr. Hume, in his reply in this day's Chronicle, to my letter in the ' limes of Saturday, on the subject of licensing public- houses^ is pleased to express an opinion on my politics and conduct, to the exclusion of the subject matter of discussion, which I conceive en titled to notice from me. I do not quarrel witli his courteous and gentlemanly appellation of " cock and bull story" as applied to facts* because I make it a rule never to dispute the judgment of a person in a matter peculiarly his own province. I have never been a political partisan, nor have I any wish to be so considered ; but if 1 did entertain opinions different from those I oncet held, which I deny, and for which there is only the weak guarantee of Mr. Hume's assertion, such a charge would come with a poor grace from the now liberal Member for Middlesex, who, amongst all the changes and chances of his political career can hardly have erased from his memory such " a trivial fond record" as having taken his seat as the Duke of Cumberland's nominee for the rotten borough of Weymouth, introduced by our mutual friend, Mr. Masterton Ure. If to be a Reformer compels a consistent and independent member to vote that " black is white" avowedly for party purposes— if it com- pels him to outrage public feeling by volunteering a declaration that the introduction of the name of the Deity on the occasion of deliver- ance from pestilence is " mere cant"— if in short, to be a Reformer compels a man to change his principles so completely and rapidly as to justify the master of the party in his assertion— and surely no one is better qualified to estimate the exact degree of tergiversation and apostacy in his followers—" that the Reformers in Parliament ( under the generic alias of Whigs) do dot bear the slightest resemblance to what they were four years ago"— if, I repeat, conduct like this is a proof of being a Reformer, I'liasten to thank and confirm Mr. Hume in his opinion of me. The other statement is that I spoke at thelast county election ( which is a very sore subject), not being an elector. Mr. Elume is partly right, butalthougli I was not a registered elector, I have been for many years a freeholder, and as such had an un- doubted right to address my fellow freeholders. I have, however, taken care to form one of that numerous body who have lately registered, and on the first opportunity I shall certainly not fail to exercise my franchise. I of course know nothing about the case of the publican at Staines ; on Mr. Hume's own showing, it appears that his sole ground of belief in the statement is, that it was not contradicted: he will at once see the inconvenience of such credulity, by reflecting on the great num- ber of very remarkable stories about himself, which he has never contradicted. I am, however, too well convinced of the high honour of the gentleman whose name he mentions, not to be assured that when this comes to be investigated, it will be found that the voting for Captain Wood had just as much to do with the license as Tenter- den steeple with the'Goodwin Sands. I have neither time nor inclination for controversial correspond- ence, nor should I have alluded 1o Mr. Hume at all had he not at- tacked the Magistrates first, and as he is a resident Magistrate in the division of which I am Chairman, I felt bound to defend my colleagues and mvself from his unjust and unfounded aspersions. If Mr. Hume, instead of abusing the Magistrates, would do that which, to my knowledge, he has not done lor seven years, namely, spend one hour in the discharge of his duties, and detect and expose any of those" glaring and open jobs which he could disclose, and if he found himself mistaken, have the candour and manliness to avow his error, it would, in my opinion, be more creditable to him as a gentleman and Member for the county. I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant, Park- square, Jan. 25. " P. LAURIE. In addition to this roasting so skilfully administered by Sir PETER, we find in Friday's Post the following precis of some proceedings, in which Mr. GIBBON lends his aid in the cause :— At a meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates yesterday the resolution of a former meeting for a grant of 3001. towards baking bread in the House of Correction for the use of the prisoners, was, after some dis- cussion, suspended until the intentions of Parliament should be known on the subject of the new rules for prison discipline. Mr. GIBBON, with the permission of the meeting, alluded to certain charges brought asainst his father, Sir John Gibbon, by Mr. Hume,, in a letter to the Morning Chronicle newspaper, and after entering' into details, for which we find it impossible to make room, declared the charges by Mr. Hume to be " grossly scandalous, and utterly false." The charge was false from beginning to end, and but for indisposition, and for a recent domestic calamity, his father' would in person have attended the Court, and have declared its falsehood. In the name of his father, he denied that any pro- mise of a license had been made by his father as the condition, of a vote, or that any license had been promised on any condition, or that any had been granted, for the fact was that at the next meet- ing of Licensing Magistrates at Staines there were three applications for licenses made by persons who had voted for Mr. Wood, and all of them were refused, and that principally through the influential part his father, as Chairman, took in the business of the day. ( Cheers.) He had written to Mr. Hume on the subject of this scandalous charge. ( Cries of " Read, read.") His father had not seen the accusations till yesterday, and it was only that morning the letter had been sent off, so that no reply could yet have reached him, or he would have readily complied with the call. The manner in which his father had been attacked by Mr. Hume in the public prints was most unfair and unwarranted. Mr. Hume was not present to defend himself, or he should perhaps be induced to use strong epithets in speaking of his conduct The accusation that his father had usedhis Magisterial power for political purposes was utterly iintrue. Of the five persons who had applied for licenses in the district three had been refused, and all these voted for Mr. Wood. He would only add, that he gave a most distinct denial on behalf of his father to all the charges, NONE OF WHICH CONTAINED A SINGLE ATOM OF TRUTH. We suppose Mr. HUME will explain how he came to make such extraordinary mistakes, and render his charges, as he would himself say, liable in so extraordinary a degree. THE following bits are neither unamusing nor uninstruc- tive. The first is from the Dublin Evening Mail:— We copy the following advertisement from Saunders's Xeivs Letter of this morning. Could volumes of strictures upon the Court and the- company illustrate both so well as does this?— I " NOTICE.

JOHN BULL But we forgot— the sufferers at the Castle will, for their own sakes, keep the secret. The next we glean from the Times :— TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Mr. Raphael presents his compliments to the E< litor of the Times, « nd sends annexed the copy of a letter, dated Saturday last, but received only this morning, on his return from the country. Mr. Raphael leaves it at the disposition of the Editor. Great Stanhope- street, Jan. 26, 1836. " Sir,— In reference to your letter in the Times of this day, you may wish to have the reported application of your money with O'Connell in Ireland. It is there usually understood that the last bill remitted was O'Connell's draught on Mr. P. V. Fitzpatrick, who manages his rents, and is a clerk in the brewery; and Mr. Pat Curtis, stock- broker, discounted it. You cannot make this job more dirty than it is. " OBSERVER. " A. Raphael, Esq." The third we find in the Bristol Journal:— Some of the provincial papers express themselves at a loss to account for the unusual activity which prevails at this time in the dock- yards, in fitting out and manning vessels. By the assistance of a naval Officer of observation and experience we are enabled^ to enlighten our contemporaries on the subject. The ships now getting ready for sea ought to have been commissioned some months ago; but the War Ministers, apprehensive as to their tenure of office, thought it politic to delay the necessary operations, in order that the expense might be thrown into the Navy Estimates of 1836. In the event, therefore, of a Conservative Government taking the helm of affairs, the estimates will appear considerably larger than the sum required for 1835, and the tliimble- riggers will take credit for the difterence; if not— why the same game can be played in 1837. OUR readers are aware that a part of the national revenue is annually set apart for the support and maintenance of the Roman Catholic College of Maynooth— a proof, amongst many others, of the bigotry and persecution with which we visit the suffering Papists in Ireland, and of the utter neglect with which the British Government lias always regarded the wants and wishes of that oppressed kingdom. In return, however, for this support and maintenance of a Roman Catholic College, it seems little to require— however indulgent to sinners the tenets of Popery may be— that the students in that religious seminary should at least be instructed in a code of ethics, and established in principles not calcu- lated to endanger the welfare of society, or injure the morality of the people with whom they are subsequently to live, and whose lives aud conduct they are, in their priestly character, absolutely destined to guide, direct, and influence. A small pamphlet has been published in Dublin touching the present state of instruction at Maynooth College, which demands the most serious attention, as it involves matters of the most important character. From its pages we propose to- day to borrow largely, in order to add increased circulation to its detection of atrocities, which, under covert of religious instruction, are sapping and undermining the securities of society, and while palliating, if not encouraging, fraud, rapine, and robbery, are violating the commonest decencies of life, and exposing the female person and character to the grossest indelicacy, and the most wanton inquisitiveness. The Editor of the pamphlet first enumerates the books used in the College, a list of which is subjoined:— THE COURSE READ IN THE R. C. COLLEGE, MAYNOOTH, Printed and Published by Richard Coyne.

Doctor DELAHOGUE, who compiled the first five volumes, was a native of France, and for many years a Professor of Theology in Paris, and subsequently in the College of May- nooth from 1798 to 1820. The Rev. LUDOVICO BAILLY was also a French Ecclesiastic, and for five- and- twenty- years Pro- fessor at Dijon, and died at Beaune 1808. His Theologia Dogmatica et Moralis, was first printed in 1789; a new edition, adapted to the discipline established by the concordat, was printed at Lyons, 1804. A third edition, published at Paris, was the subject of a prosecution, which ended by its being prohibited in the seminaries during the reign of NAPO- LEON, as a work imbued with the principles of LOYOLA.—- Vide Biographie Nouvelle des Contemporaries. Paris, 1820. It is for the purpose, says the Editor of the pamphlet, of making the public aware of the moral principles inculcated on thepriests of Ireland, and through them, on the millions of its Roman Catholic population, that the following extracts have been made and translated from these theological treatises. We have all a deep interest in knowing the standard of right and wrong, by which our neighbours regulate their every- day intercourse with us. Unless we are in some degree acquainted with it, we cannot feel safe in committing our property into their hands. In dealing with Roman Catholic tradesmen, and confiding in Roman Catholic servants, it is a matter of no small importance to Protestants to know whether their con- sciences are guided by the same simple rule of honesty which has been taught to themselves, or whether a lax interpreta- tion of the divine law on that subject is given to them. The public are, therefore, greatly concerned in ascertaining what moral instructions the candidates for the priesthood receive, and are taught to impart to the people, whose spiritual advi- sers and confessors they are to be. When we recollect, more- over, that there are about 3,000 unmarried priests in this country, we are prompted by a higher motive than mere curiosity, to inquire what sort of communications they are taught to hold with the wives and daughters of persons of every rank of life, when hearing their secret confessions. These are the subjects to which the following pages princi- pally relate. They do not touoh upon those points of faith with respect to which there is a difference between Protestants and Roman Catholics, but solely refer to the practical mora- lity of common life. In order that the public may convince themselves that these extracts are fairly made, without being garbled or mis- represented, references are givea ill the pamphlet to the volume and page in which each of them maybe found, so that any one may readily consult the context from which it is taken ; and for the purpose of showing the fidelity of the trans- lation, the original Latin is subjoined in the Appendix, where also will be found several passages which are too grossly indelicate to bear translation, and to be put into circulation in English. We make no apology for submitting the whole of the extracts to- day, since Parliament opening on Thursday, we may not again be able to afford sufficient space for the exposure:— In the sacrament of penance it is necessary to make confession to a priest of all mortal sins. But it is left to the option of a penitent whether he will confess his venial offences ; according to the Council of Trent, session xiv. chap. 5, where it is declared that " venial sins, which do not separate us from the grace of GOD, and into which we very often fall, although they may with propriety and advantage, and without any presumption, be declared in confession, as appears from the practice of men of piety, yet they may be concealed without in- curring blame, and may be expiated in many other ways." See Treatise on Penance— Dogmatic Theology, vol. v., p. 56. It is important to keep this statement in mind while we examine some parts of the exposition given of the commandment, " Thou shalt not steal." The second question discussed under the head of this precept of the decalogue, is— " How great must be the quantity of the thing stolen, in order to constitute the theft of a mortal sin ?" " Answer : This quantity camioteasily be determined, since nothing has been decided on the point either in natural, divine, or human law. Some are of opinion that the quantity necessary for the maintenance of an individual for one day, in a manner suitable to his station in the world, is sufficient to make the theft a mortal sin. Others think that it requires a quantity which, everything considered, inflicts a grievous injury on our neighbour, and deprives him of something particularly useful. A loss, however, which, in respect of one, a rich man for instance, is slight— in respect of a poor man may be considered heavy. The same quantity in all thefts cannot therefore be assigned as constituting the subject matter of a mortal sin. " Hence theologians are accustomed to distinguish men into four ranks. The first rank consists of the illustrious, who live in splendour. The second of those who live on their own estates, but not so splen- didly, such as are moderately rich. The third of artificers, who support themselves by their own labour and handicraft. The fourth, of the poor, who provide for themselves by begging. It is generally laid down, and it may be laid down as determined, that in order to a theft's being a mortal sin when committed on persons of the first rank, fifty or sixty pence are sufficient. In fact, this appears to be a sufficient sum with reference to all men, even Princes ; because this sum of money is considerable in itself, and might be of service to Princes, since it would be sufficient for the pay of several soldiers for one day. With respect to persons of the second rank, forty pence are enough. With respect to persons of the third rank, if their trade be a very lucrative one, twenty pence; if less lucrative, ten pence. With respect to persons of the fourth rank, [ i. e. paupers,] four pence, or even one penny, if they have nothing else to live on. " But there is no one who does not perceive that the division mentioned above is very inadequate. How great a difference is there among artificers. How many live on their own estates who are more straitened than some merchants, to whom a theft of the same sum would be a greater loss than to merchants who are richer than they ? H ence, we ao not give the aforesaid rule as a thing on which you can rely with certainty ; but it is good, as being something to guide con- fessors, taking all circumstances prudently into consideration.— Moral Theology, vol. ii. p. 232: Decalogue. The next question is—" Does a person sin mortally who steals trifling sums from ope or from several persons, which when put together, make up a considerable sum?" This is answered in the affirmative, but a caution is added, in which the students are told to observe— " That according to many divines, a somewhat greater quantity is required to be stolen in order to constitute a mortal sin, when the small thefts which make it up have been committed at different times and on many individuals, than if they were all committed at the same time and oil the same person._ The reason is, because tlie loss having been inflicted in different portions, the injury, according to the com- mon sense of mankind, is less, and is not taken so ill."— Ibid. p. 235. The subject of restitution is then considered; with respect to which it is laid down:— " That any property of considerable value, obtained by means of small thefts, ought to be restored as soon as may be, under pain of mortal sin : otherwise considerable property would be unjustly re- tained, and a great injury, which had been unjustly inflicted, would be prolonged. But every one is bound, under pain of only venial sin, to make restitution for a trifling injury committed by himself on an individual, or on several persons. Restitution, if this be possible, ought to be made to the persons injured: for example, by giving larger measure afterwards in selling, or by diminishing the price. But if restitution cannot be made specifically to each individual, either because those individuals are ignorant of the theft, or because the doing of this is more difficult, or because there is a risk of disgrace, then the plundered property ought to be restored ( either through the priest, or in some other way), to the poor of the injured community, or disposed of in other good works. For this would appear to be agreeable to the wishes of the injured parties."— Ibid. p. 236, The seventh question treated of is— " Whether wives commit a mortal sin of theft, if, contrary to the reasonable wishes of their husbands, they secretly take anything considerable from the property which is under the power of their husbands f" It is answered, " that they commit a mortal sin of theft, because they greatly injure the just right of the husband. But what quantity ought to be accounted considerable in these thefts, cannot easily be determined !! This one thing is certain, that a greater quantity is required in thefts committed by a wife or a son, than in thefts com- mitted by strangers; because a husband, or the father of a family, is more unwilling that money should be taken by a stranger, than by a wife or a son. " It is not a theft if a wife secretly abstracts from their common property as much as is necessary to support an indigent father, or mother, or children by a former marriage ; and even, according to some doctors, for a brother and sisterj leave, however, being first asked from the husband; which if he shall have withheld, she can and ought to assist them out of her own dowry. For it is a natural obligation which a huband cannot obstruct. Nevertheless, whatever the wife has given away to them she is bound to account for, and reckon as part of her dowry, when she comes to a division of the pro- perty with the heirs."— Ibid. p. 238. The ninth question considered is— " What is to be thought of servants who pilfer anything from their masters ?" Answer—" That they sin mortally if they pilfer a considerable quantity, venially, if a small quantity. But if they steal money, furniture, or such things, the same quantity is required to constitute a mortal sin as if they were strangers; nay, rather their crime is more detestable, as well because they violate the trust reposed in them by their masters, as because their masters are often more dis- pleased than if a stranger stole from them. " But if servants should plunder anything to eat, they do not always sin, that is to say, if it be some food which their masters would readily permit them to use, if leave were asked from them. Or at least they sin more venially, and a greater quantity is required to make a mortal sin than with respect to strangers, because it would be generally less contrary to the wishes of a master. They sin mor- tally, however, if they plunder for the purpose of carousing, or in order to sell or give away to others, or if they should make use of dainties and choice wines, which the master wishes to reserve for himself, and which are not usually allowed to servants."— Ibid. p. 239, 210. So then the doctrine taught at Maynooth is this, that any person may steal 4s. llid., or thereabouts, from a nobleman, without losing the favour of God, or at all risking the salvation of his soul, or its being necessary to make confession of the theft to a priest. After thus injuring liis neighbour, his superior, perhaps his benefactor, he is Dot obliged to acknowledge to him the fault he has committed, for this would be to incur disgrace. Nor need he restore the stolen pro- perty to him, or compensate him in any way, if there should be a difficulty in doing so unknown to him. All that is required, in order to have a clear conscience, is to give the amount to the poor, or expend it in some good work. And as to this sort of restitution, it is but a venial offence after all, if it be omitted! And further, it is here gravely taught that a wife may steal, actually steal without the know- ledge of her husband, and contrary to his known and reasonable wishes, a greater quantity of his property than is mentioned in the preceding scale, without committing more than a mere venial sin. And she may sieal as much as will support any of her near relatives, without being guilty of ANY SIN. Provided, indeed, that after her husband's death, if she outlive him, she deducts the amount from her jointure, without assigning her reasons for this deduction, or making any ac- knowledgment of what most people would consider a fraud, but what the Maynooth class- book pronounces " is not a theft!!" And finally, a servant may pilfer any common food, in order to eat moderately of it. No leave need be asked; it may be taken for granted that leave would be given, which is quite sufficient. Can we be surprised if servants who have such notions instilled into them by the priests educated at Maynooth, should not turn out to be very trust- worthy ? On whom ought the greater blame to fall, on the teachers or on the taught ? This question, however, carries us back to another, namely— Who have been the teachers of the priests them- selves ? Who have sanctioned their receiving such instructions ? The answer is evident— the President and Professors, and the Roman Catholic Prelates, who are trustees and visitors of the College— OX these, Archbishop MURRAY is one, and he was for some time him- self the President of Maynooth. Archbishop CROLLY had been the Professor of Logic, and Archbishop M'HALE had been one of the Professors of Theology. After perusing the extracts given above, the reader will probably be surprised, when he is informed, that Dr. ANGLADE, the Professor of Moral Theology, who had for years been lecturing the students in Bailly's Treatises, when asked by the Commissioners of Education Inquiry—" Doyon conceive that there is any peculiar character that belongs to the views that were taken of moral theology by the Jesuits ?" replied, " I think not; if there is any thing which is called lax principles of morality, 1 am sure Bailly is free from them."— Appendix to the 8th Report, p. 177. The subject to which the attention of the reader is now directed, is brought before him with much reluctance. But it is right that the public should know that a part of the instruction given to the priests at Maynooth, relates to the questions which are to be asked by them when hearing the confessions of the female portion of their flocks. Itis only fair towards Protestants to make them aware that the accomplished, fashionable, and apparently refined members of the Roman Catholic Church, whom they are accustomed to associate with, are in the habit of hearing and answering the most indecent interrogatories put to them by unmarried men ; that is to say, if the priests fulfil what they are taught is their duty. And before Protes- tants receive at their houses any of these popish ecclesiastics, and allow their families to form acquaintance with them, it is only kind to warn them that they are a class of persons whose minds have been sullied by a systematic instruction in the various modes in which im- purity can be committed; and that they have learned at Maynooth to put questions without a blush to married females, which any man ought to be ashamed to ask a woman. In the Appendix will be found some extracts from the " Treatise on Matrimony," which forms part of vol. iv. of the Moral Theology. From these the reader who understands Latin, may satisfy himself of the truth of the foregoing statement; they are not fit to appear in English. The following passages are taken from the general directions given to confessors in the " Treatise on the Decalogue," under the head of the sixth, or according to the enumeration of Protestants, the seventh commandment. In answer to the question, " How ought a confessor to conduct himself towards penitents, with reference to the subject under consideration t" six directions are given; of these the second is— " Since the confessor acts the part both of a judge and a physician, he ought to become acquainted with the diseases and the offences of the penitent, in order that he may be able to apply suitable remedies, and impose due penance ; and lest a sin that is mortal should be ac- counted venial, or the foul viper lurking in the deep recesses of the heart should not venture to put itself forth to view, he'ouglit there- fore sometimes to question the penitents on the subject of the 6th [ 7th] commandment, where he suspects that they are not altogether pure, especially if they be rude, ignorant, bashful, agitated." The third direction is— " A prudent confessor will, as far as in his power, by kindness of language increase the confidence of his penitents, will advance from more general statements to more particular; from the less shameful to those which are more so; nor will he take his commencement from the external acts, but Irom the thoughts. Has not the penitent revolved some improper ones in his or her mind ? Was this done advertently ? What kind of desire was it ? Has he or she felt unlawful passions ? But if the penitent shall declare that he, or she, has not felt them, the confessor ought usually to stopthere, unless the penitent be very ignorant and dull. But if the penitent shall answer that he, or she, has had improper thoughts or irregular desires, the confessor shall ask whether any improper actions followed? Butifthe penitent shall confess this, the confessor shall ask again, what were those actions ? " If the penitent be a girl, she should be asked whether she has adorned herselt in order to please the men ? IVhether for this purpose she has used paint, or stript her arms, shoulders, or neck ?— Whether she has frequented the churches that she might show herself in the vestibule or window, so as to attract observation ? Whether she has spoken, or read, or sung anything immodest? Whether she is not attached to somebody with a more peculiar affection ? Whether she has not permitted him to take some libertj with her ? IVhether she has not allowed herself to he kissed ? But if occasion should be given for ulterior inquiries, the confesssor will fulfil his duty, but very pru- dently and circumspectly*"— Vol II. p. 228, 229. Dr. DELAHOGUE, in his Treatise on Penance, follows up this sub- ject, and we learn from him that modesty, if brought with her to confession, is a crime that renders a woman unworthy of absolution. At page 162, the question is discussed, " concerning those causes which will excuse a person from making an entire or full confession." Six different causes are examined: nnder the last of them it is laid down, p. 164—• " That the very great bashfulness with which a penitent may be suffused from the confession of certain sins, and the fear lest he, or she, may suffer greatly in the estimation of his or her confessor, are not sufficient causes to excuse a person from malting an entire con- fession ; because, if this would be admitted, the command enjoining confession would quite lose its power. This modesty is to be over- come : whenever it can be done, another Priest may be applied to ; but if another cannot be had, and there be a necessity for making confession, that confession would be sacrilegious which was cut short from a motive so vain. The following case is put and considered, p. 168— " A woman or a girl, overpowered by such great modesty that she is unable to overcome it so as to confess certain sins viva voce, hands to the confessor sitting in the tribunal a paper to read, in which they are written down, saying with her voice— I accuse myself as being guilty of all the sins which you may read written m this paper.' An author worthy of credit has asserted that this is not a fictitious case ; 562 JOHN BULL. January 31.' and it may occur agnin. Many thelogians, even in this case, pronounce lhat a confession made in writing is mil/, as they are of © pinion that this modesty is altogether an earthly thing, ( prorsus hjunamim,) and however great it may be, is to be overcome by the penitent, and that absolution is to be denied to ami one who is unwilling t> overcome it. On the contrary, others, following MELCHIOR CA. NO, as saan certainly of acute judgment, and of the greatest prudence, think that, taking into account the weakness of the sex, this modesty soay be so vivid in some women, or girls, that they cannot be induced to overcome it; and what is more, they observe that this modesty may at times be excited to this great degree by reason of the more vivid perception which they have of the Daseness and wickedness of their *> fieace. Whence they infer that these persons, who are truly deserving of pity, may in this case not be considered guiltyatleast of • great sin, and therefore in such difficulties it may be allowed them as an indulgence to declare those sins in writing, which it appears to them so grievous, so burdensome, and almost impossible to express ma voce." Now observe how this last resource of female modesty is dealt with in the Divinity School of Maynooth:— " We are of opinion that everything may be safely managed by adopting this middle plan ; namely, that the confessor should receive the written declaration of sins, read it, and afterwards prudently question the penitent concerning them, whose answer in the words yes, or no, should be received as a true accusation of herself made viva voce; as indeed is the case in common confessions, when the priest questions the penitent whether she has committed certain sins. Doubtless it is not to be credited that a woman or girl, however skodest she may be supposed, would not accede to this condition, which the confessor will make as easy as he can by the dexterity of Ms questions. But if the penitent shall refuse, after she has been warned of the danger to her salvation of confessing in any other man- lier, it does not appear how she can be considered not to be guilty of perverse obstinacy, which renders her unworthy of the benefit of aisohtlion." Protestants have so little notion of what is told, or ought to be told, in confessing to a priest, that it becomes necessary to inform them that the confessor regulates even the intercourse between Iresband and wife, and is directed to make inquiry from the peni- tents on this subject. The following instruction is given, vol. iv. p. 483, Moral Theology:— " The Parish Priest, either himself in the tribunal of penance, or at least by means of some pious matron ( and this will sometimes be a more prudent plan) ought to instruct married persons, and espe- cially married women, what they are to observe in this respect.— And since women not unfrequently conceal offences with reference to this, in the sacrament of confession, through modesty or ignorance, it is wpedient sometimes to interrogate them on the subject, but cautiously, and prudently, not abruptly : for example, it may be asked whether tbere have been any disagreements between her and her husband— what were the causes of them— what were the effects of them— whe- ther she has in consequence—" But no, this indecent question given as a pattern of prudence to the young students of Maynooth, to guide them in their communications with married ladies, must be left under the veil of Latinity with which it is concealed.* Can it be possible that questions such as this are actually put to respectable females— the wives of our Roman Catholic nobility— the gentlewomen whom we meet in the circles of cultivated and select society ? Is it to be believed that those who appear to be so modest and decorous, are thus insulted and outraged by their unmarried ctmfessors? They alone can tell. But do their husbands know that gath questions are put to their wives ? And do they submit to this disgusting system, and approve of it ? All that the Protestant public can know on the subject is, that the Theological Class- Books of Maynooth teach the young priests that it is their duty to make these . inquiries, and give these matrimonial instructions. A remark is scarcely necessary upon these exposures, they speak 1er themselves; but it is not foreign to the subject of these pages to wmark that impurities, still more disgustingly detailed than in the Treatises of BAILLY and DELAHOGUE, are to be found thickly strewn through that " complete body of theology," which, in the year 1808, a the Roman Catholic Prelates of Ireland unanimously agreed was Hie best book on the subject that could be published, as containing the most secure guidance for such ecclesiastics as may, by reason of tlie peculiar circumstances of this country, be deprived of the oppor- tnaity of referring to public libraries or consulting those who may Replaced in authority over them." t Should a change of the class- books used in Maynooth be the result of this exposure, it is earnestly hoped that DENS' Theology will not be substituted in their place, although Archbishop MURRAY has " approved" of a second edition of it being printed, and the clergy of Leinster" follow Mr. DENS att their author," in their conferences, and the Bishops were unani- XBoas in thinking it the " best book" of its kind. There is a differ- ence of opinion between them and the public on this subject, and as Ihe public pay for what is taught, their opinion ought to have some weight in regulating the studies pursued in that seminary. What Roman Catholic husbands and fathers and masters of families may feel at reading these facts, we cannot presume to surmise— but if virtue, honesty, decency, and morality are to ibe upheld, there seems but one course for them to pursue. We have done our duty, and if our statements have not the e< fect of changing the course of reading at Maynooth, it may at least produce that of refusing the Parliamentary grant for snch iniquitous purposes as those to which it has hitherto ibeen applied. * " An propterea marito denegaverit quod ex conjugii legihus ei debetur." f This statement which was put forth in Mr. Coyne's advertisement was pub- Erty denied by the Editor of the Freeman's Journal, in his paper of the 19th of October, 1835, in consequence of which Mr. Coyne had an interview with the Editor, and in the paper of the 22nd of October that denial was retracted; so that ihs advertisement states an incontrovertible fact. At the meetings in Exeter Hall, allusions were made to passages in Dens' Theology which were too indecent be plainly spoken of before a promiscuous assembly. So far from the objec- tionable parts occupying " not quite four pages," as stated in a pamphlet by the Set-. Edward Stanley, rector of Alderly, the whole work is saturated with immo- mUty. TO JOHN BULL. 4, Catherine- street, Strand, Jan. %) th, 1836. Sir,— Having read your report of the proceedings of the Anti- Op- jaession Society meeting, held at the Freemasons! Hall, may I beg lo solicit your attention to. a peculiar and extraordinary case of Irardship and severity. I can readily allow, Sir, that it is very revolting for a child to speak ngainst a parent, and therefore every form of entreaty had been used fey that child to avoid so doing; but is there no allowance to be made for his utter neglect, ill- usage, and the unheard- of cruelty, which was patiently and silently endured for many years, till at length, goaded feelings and persevering inhumanity and injustice urged me t » put forth what had been scrupulously concealed for a period of fourteen years. 4 Do you think, Sir, that if a parent utterly abandons his child— casts him forth on the world to hunt his fortune as he may— to become a thief or a pickpocket for his bread!— is hunted from his father's door for presuming to entreat assistance!— which my poor child has been REPEATEDLY within the last six months;— does this child owe this unnatural and brutal parent any duty? Can he love him? Oh no, Sir, human nature— for whose sake you would, it seems, require this vary superhuman act of devotion to an inhuman parent— does not re- quire so much; and you must be aware " that it is easier to teach twenty what's best to be done, than to be one of that twenty to follow the good instruction." Were you, or any other person, placed in my poor boy's unfortunate condition, enduring what he does, and know- ing what he is, you would be to the full, if not much more violent, than he is. You advise me to publish a condensed statement of my case. Yon forget that I have done so— that Mr. O'CONNELL, though publicly and repeatedly called on to do so, has never contradicted it; and that how can a deeply- injured and oppressed female hope to gain any point, particularly when moneyless and friendless, and opposed by such a heartless wretch as O'COXNELL, who, through the hired train- bands that complete his strength, on whom he squanders the thou- sands wrung from the very vitals of pauperism— can cry down, de- nounce, and execute, with his dry guillotine ( for, thank God, the na- tional knife is not yet in his hands), any who dare oppose, or presume ( no matter how justly) to call him to account. Oh no, Sir, a feeble woman cannot contend ( no matter how just her cause) with Mr. O'CONNELL. All 1 should desire, and hope for, is, to excite public sympathy for my poor child, who is highly talented, but unfortunately uneducated. I have done my best with him during the few months he has resided with me: I found him ( for he had been secreted from me), after a three years' search, in Clondalkin Monastery, engaged in the most filthy offices, and not permitted to enter even the Charity School, but to clean it, sleeping on a dung- hill of damp straw, and otherwise so ill- used and badly treated that it was shocking to behold him. This man, who is to make all Ireland happy— who asks the Duke of WELLINGTON for justice— ought to set an example, by doing justice to his numerous offspring, who are cast upon a pitiless world. And I am surprised how he dare approach the Holy Eucharist while such claims as mine rest against him. He swore solemnly and voluntarily to provide for me— he never has, nor ever assisted to do so. But I now should not trouble him on that subject, if he provided for his poor boy, whom he has acknowledged. I am weary of the subject, and would be glad it were at rest, but I cannot and will not suffer my poor child to perish without making an effort to save him.— I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, ELLEN COURTENAY. CAMBRIDGE.— ELECTION OF THE PUBLIC ORATOR. TO JOHN BULL. SIR,— A letter having appeared in the Cambridge Chronicle of this day, relative to the approaching election of a Public Orator, which gives both a partial and incorrect statement of the case as regards Trinity College, I consider it my duty to put you in possession of the facts as they really stand, leaving it to the University to determine how far the writer has served the cause of that College by his want of candour and honesty. The facts, Sir, are these :— Of the examiners appointed officially to award each year the prin- cipal classical prize in the University, seven is the greatest number who ever act as judges; and of these, two only, the Public Orator and Greek Professor, conduct the whole of the examination. Of the above seven, three are already members of Trinity, namely, the Master, the senior resident Fellow, who has obtained a medal, ( or, if he should decline, then the next in succession, and so down- wards,) and the Greek Professor. Of the two, Sir, one ( the Greek Professor) is of Trinity College, and should the Oratorship be also filled by a member of that Society, not only would the entire arrangement of this most important exa- mination, according to the present practice, devolve upon one College, but that same College would henceforward have a majority of the electors in the proportion of four to three. These, Sir, are the simple circumstances of the case; which, while ostensibly replied to in the letter of the Cambridge Chronicle, have been either mis- stated through ignorance, or more truly, I fear, dis- ingenuously misrepresented. As a general well- wisher to the University, and a warm advocate for that strict impartiality for which she has been so conspicuous in her examinations, and on which alone she must ever depend for her present fair name, I have ventured to send you this communication, and remain, Sir, your obedient - servant, PHILALETHES. OUR readers may have seen with what steady perseverance we have, from the moment of making ourselves acquainted with its merits, upheld and advocated, to the best of our ability, the discovery of a means for the prevention and extermination of dry- rot in timber, cordage, canvas, and, in short, in all those matters now subject to its ruinous ravages. To this advocacy we have been conscientiously led by a perfect conviction of the efficacy of the process for which Mr. KYAN has secured a patent, a conviction brought home to our minds by an attentive examination, not only of the corroborative testimony of the first scientific and professional men of the day, but by a sedulous observation of the various trials and experiments which have been made by order of various public Boards, and by the evidence which has been adduced before a committee appointed by Government for inquiring into its merits. During the last few months a Company has been formed for the purpose of carrying into effect the general dissemination of the prin- ciple and the adoption of the practice, by which innumerable advan- tages, already frequently described by us, are to be derived, not only to the shareholders, but to the nation at large; a fact proven to demonstration by official documents and by the eagerness manifested on every hand to render the process available to its fullest extent. It seems, however, that an anonymous wiseacre has recently made an attempt, through an advertisement in the Morning Herald, to cast some doubt upon the efficacy of the process, of the infallibility of which we need say little, after having heard snch a man as Professor FARADAY declare an opinion in the highest degree favourable to it, and so experienced an architect as Sir ROBERT SMIRKE ( who has adopted the process in all the public buildings which he has designed), say, " This preparation resists all rot; I CANNOT ROT IT." This advertisement appeared in the Herald of Thursday week, and runs thus:— ANTI- DRY ROT.— KYAN'S PATENT.— The projectors of this Com- pany will remove the doubts of various persons if they can prove that the application of a solution of corrosive sublimate, applied to the railing in the Regent's- park, has protected that wood from cracking, and from imbibing more wet and damp than the railing saturated with common tar. They would also do well to state whether any cordage or sail- cloth, in actual use, has given any pratical evidence of the power of corrosive sublimate, to protect these articles from mildew. The mere experiment of hanging up bits of cordage and cloth in a damp cellar, not being any proof ot its merits in actual service on board ship, or elsewhere, perhaps the projectors can also inform the public why the late Sir HUMPHRY DAVY relinquished the same project. Jan. 20, 1836. / KTIl LIDES. This, no doubt, appears to be a very serious attack upon the pro- cess, and the Company, whose flourishing state might be supposed to excite the malice either of some official prig or disappointed speculator; but so easily is it refuted, and so completely does it bring out a triumphant statement of facts in favour of the process, that, if we did not know the thing to be impossible, we should al- most imagine the Directors themselves to be the authors of the attack. Upon the appearance of this anonymous advertisement, the Di- rectors requested Mr. BEAZLEY, the eminent architect, to examine the fencing in question, which had been put up in the Regent's Park. He did so— and we have been favoured with a sight of his letter, in which, after technically describing the paling, he says:— " I have surveyed a length of several hundred yards of this fence, which has been subjected to the process of solution, and on clearing away the earth I found the wood to be perfectly sound; I also find that the bottoms of the thin palisades which rest upon and are some- times inserted in the earth, are quite sound; but that which I con- sider the best test of the effect of the solution is, that the thin arris edge which lies on the earth, and in some instances is covered with it, is perfectly sound, and as sharp as when first laiddmvn." " With regard to the cracks in some of the upright posts, I am of opinion that they were originally in the timber before being subjected to the solution, and were occasioned originally by the method of cutting. I am further of opinion, that had the timber not been im- mersed, the probability is that the edges of these cracks would have decayed, from the water lying in them." So far, so good; but now comes the strongest part of the case, as relates to the insinuations of ^ ETHLIDES. " After having thoroughly examined such portions of the fence," says Mr. BEAZLEY, " as had undergone the process of emersion, I directed my attention to those portions which had not been so prepared, when I fonnd a general appearance of green mould gradually cover- ing the surface; the sure precursor of decay. I found likewise that decay had commenced at the angles of the broken parts of the timber; and on clearing away the earth from the bottom of the post, I found incipient decay at the whole surface of that part under ground, of which I herewith transmit you some specimens.— As the communi- cation in question referred to the cracks in the timber, I ought to ob- serve they are equally numerous in those parts of the timber which have not been immersed, as they are in those which have been sub- jected to the process, the striking difference between them being that those are subjected to the dangers of decay at the angles of the cracks, which the others do not exhibit." This testimonial of itself, considering its authority, would be suffi- cient to answer the grumblings of JETHLIDES ; but it does infinitely more. It informs J3THLIDES of that which he appears to have been previously ignorant, namely, that part of the palings in question had been subjected to the process, and part had not. The very re- ference of / ETHLIDES to the part which exhibits " incipient decay," which had not been subjected to the process, has thus elicited a re- port which most incontestibly proves the soundness and safety of that part which has been immersed. So much for the effect produced upon timber for domestic purposes. With respect to the efficacy of the process upon sails now and for some time past in actual service, we may distinctly inform the anony- mous advertiser, that upon proper inquiry he may receive as many proofs as are necessary, completely to establish the point, as are adduced in support of the other, upon which he has so fortunately for the Company stumbled. As to the observation of the anonymous advertiser upon the mere experiment of hanging up bits of cordage and cloth in a damp cellar as proofs of the efficacy of the process, we believe Professor FARADAY has already said, and continues, in his course on chemistry, when he touches on the metallic mercury, and produces " his bits of cloth from a damp cellar," to say enough to prove the vast merit and incalculabl e advantages of the discovery ; and with respect to the opinion of Sir HUMPHRY DAVY, about which the anonymous advertiser inquires, Professor FARADAY also says enough to proye that whatever fell from that learned Baronet upon the subject, was solely with reference to the application of corrosive sublimate to the books in Lord SPENCER'S library at Althorp, and that Sir HUMPHRY DAVY NEVER DID make any direct remark in any of his works or lectures on the application of that substance to the prevention of dry- rot in timber. Conscious as we have always felt of the value of this discovery, we are of course prepared for the opposition of those, whose officia vested rights may be damaged by the incalculable saving to be effected in the navy estimates of the country by its adoption in our dock- yards, as well as for the- cavillings of those who live by ship- building, ship- repairing, and ship- carpentering. But the extraor- dinary success which has already attended the promulgation of its advantages, is a sufficient guarantee that prejudice, partiality, and interest itself, must succumb to so great a triumph of science and perseverance, and that the nation generally will appreciate the bene- fits which its universal adoption must insure, and which will be found to be as great and important as any that have contributed to our national wealth and prosperity. The Morning Herald says that three English officers, Messrs. YOUNG, GOLD, and HAMMOND, arrived in Bayonne on the 19th, with passports delivered to them by General ESPARTERO, at Vittoria, on the 4th inst. These gentlemen served in the cavalry of Col. EVANS, and were returning to England disgusted with the service of Queen CHRISTINA. They reported that Generals CORDOVA and EVANS were on bad terms. The Standard of Tuesday says:— We are informed by a passenger in a Greenwich Railway carriage yesterday, that in one of the experimental trips, the train of six car- riages were conveyed at the rate of a mile per minute, or sixty miles per hour! Our correspondent adds, that the sensation experienced was that of flying, rather than that which is felt in the most rapid of the ordinary modes of travelling. There were two numerous parties of ladies in the carriages, who seemed highly delighted. — How the correspondent of the Standard, " unless, indeed," as Sir BOYLE ROCHE said," he was a bird," could have ascertained the re- semblance of the sensation he experienced to that of flying, we do not pretend to guess— but we are happy to hear that no lives were lost upon the occasion of making so foolish and useless an experiment. We ought to add, however, that we disbelieve the fact. The following shall not be bad:— In the new Turnpike Act, the Dissenting Minister is allowed to pass the turnpike gate on a Sunday toll free; whereas the Minister of the Established Church is obliged to pay !— North Devon Adver- tiser. Some idea may be formed of the wealth of this country from the fact that, in 1834, insurances against fire were made by the English offices to the amount of five hundred and seventy- eight millions and a half, and that the uninsured property is estimated to be equal to what is insured.— Scotsman. In addition to the liberal supply of powder from the depots at Dover, Southampton, < fcc., an immense quantity of materials for the army of the Queen of SPAIN is constantly shipped from the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich.

Parlia ment meets next Thursday. The following traits of the newly- constructed Corporations are highly characteristic:— As we have already stated, the new council of the ancient city of Chester commenced their reign by voting that the annual custom of distributing bread to the poor, on the election of Mayor and Sheriff, should be discontinued. As a contrast to this most liberal motion they have since voted 681. for the annual city plate to be run for at the races! By the Chester C'ourant of Tuesday, we see that the Marquess of WESTMINSTER has thrown out a sop to the mem- bers of the new body, by inviting his Worship the Mayor, and the whole Corporate Bo'dy, to eat venison and drink wine on Monday evening, at Eaton Hall. His Worship the Mayor intimated the fact to his colleagues at their last meeting, and the invitation was speedily accepted. We congratulate the Council on the " golden opinions" they liave earned from the Noble Marquess. Their pre- decessors spent thousands of pounds in supporting his inflence— is the old system to be renewed.— Newcastle Journal. The new Corporations are beginning their march of " Tom- foolery, — we use their own epithet— how long they will continue it, remains to be seen. A town councillor, not 100 miles from Bolton, declared, after his instalment, that if a bottle of wine were introduced into the council- room, by way of refreshment, he would " smash it with his stick."— Stockport Advertiser. Many of the Corporations have discarded the maces, swords and habiliments of office ; a change which, as far as regards the alder- man's gown, at least, is injudicious, as some of the newly elected aldermen, we understand, would be vastly improved in external ap- pearance if their own vestments were concealed beneath a robe of office.— Manchester Courier. The Reformers of Hull are anxious that all the ostentatious frippery of the defunct Corporation should be sent adrift as soon as possible. An appropriate suggestion has been made, that the antique maces should be put forthwith into the crucible and converted into grateful testimonials to Viscount MELBOURNE and Lord JOHN RUSSELL. — Hull Advertiser. We understand that the new councillors chosen for the town of Louth have determined to sell the wine they found in the cellars of the old Corporation, and to supply its place with ale. The reason we have heard assigned for this is, that a great majority of their mighti- nesses are unused to the taste of the lormer liquid. A rate of 2s. in the pound will be required to raise the sum necessary to compensate Mr. LUCAS, the late town clerk.— Boston Herald. FAVERSHAM.— The town council have resolved to discontinue the use of the splendid mace, hitherto borne in procession before the Chief Magistrate on public occasions, and have further resolved not to adopt the use of official habiliments.— Kentish Gazette. At Liverpool, on the contrary, the Council has allowed the Mayor to take the coach off the hands of his predecessor, to retain the old Corporation menial servants, and to allow him 1,0001. for his current expenses. A motion having been made in the reformed town council of Liver- pool for a grant in favour of the sufferers on board the ice- bound • whale ships, it was resolved, as we learn from the Liverpool Standard, that " the propo'ition could not be entertained!" It had not been ascertained, we suppose, that the poor seamen were Papists, Dis- senters, or Revolutionists; because, in either of these cases, a vote must have followed, of course. The Radical Corporation of Leicester are going on swimmingly in the way of destruction ; the Mayor, the town council and aldermen ( with the exception of four or five) are Socinians, Baptists, Unita- rians, and Quakers. The mace, plate ( upwards of2,000 ounces), and other property, also a valuable portrait of the Right Hon. W. PITT, are advertised to be sold by auction ; and a portrait of Mr. Justice VAUGHAN ( a native of the town) by PICKERSGILL, is to be disposed of by private contract, as the Mayor's wife is a relation of the Baron. The Vandals, from what was said about the mace, seem determined to leave not a vestige of the remains of the old Corporation behind. Councillor BREWIN said, he had no objection to sell the King's crown, if his Majesty wished it. From what we have seen and heard of the party, the King would be the last person consulted by these men, if they had the power.— Leicester Herald. At a meeting of the town council of Exeter last week, in a dis- cussion relating to the office of Sheriff, the following coloquy took place:—" The Mayor said there had lately occurred a curious fact with respect to the appointment of the High Sheriff of Devon in the Eerson of Mr. NATION, who sought to be relieved from the office ecause it was onerous, and entailed expenses. Mr. NATION said • with respect to this circumstance, as it had been alluded to, he must say that he had never heard that he had been named to the office, that he had never written to London on the subject, and that all that had appeared about it in the Morning Chronicle was pure fiction." The Right Worshipful the Mayor of EXETER has declined receiving any assistance from the municipal funds towards maintaining the hospitality expected from his station in the city. This is Conserva- tive illiberality, and we rejoice that the Conservative chief magistrate of Exeter has shamed by his handsome conduct the Radical liberality of the town councils of Liverpool, Bath, and various other minor boroughs, which rejoice in the supremacy of their Liberal town councils,— tVestern Luminary. • The new Corporation of Winchester have fixed the Recorder's salary at forty guineas per annum! The Mayor of CANTERBURY has abandoned the good, old, and charitable custom of breakfasting the blue coat boys at his house on Sunday morning, previously to their attending divine service at his parish Church.— Kentish Gazette. We are sorry to hear that in the town council in one of the Mid- land counties the councillors have got into the unpardonable habit of swearing, which the worshipful the Mayor by divers exhortations endeavoured to repress, but he could not make any impression on his companions until he swore that he would fine them.— Stamford Chronicle. The town council of Boston have appointed a banker's clerk their treasurer, in preference to a gentleman, a banker, who has given them more support than they deserve to have received, and who is passed by when they have the opportunity of making him a little return. So much for Radical gratitude ! A countryman passing through our city on Sunday last, met a certain procession ( the new corporators) returningfroin Church, with a mob of boys and ragamuffins at their heels. Seeing the functionary with the sword of state at their head, and casting his eye along tne motley string, the bumpkin exclaimed—" What's hur brought ' em out o'jail for— hur beant gwain to try'em Sunday ?"— fVorcester Guardian. The new town council of the borough of Great Yarmouth, lately announced that they had removed the Earl of ORFORO from his office of High Steward. On his Lordship's attention being called to tbe circumstance he addressed the following letter to William Barth, . Esq., the newly- chosen Mayor:— " TVolterton, Jan. 26,1836. " Sir— It is at this moment only that 1 have been made acquainted through the newspapers with a vote of the Corporation of Yarmouth, removing me from the heretofore most honourable situation of High Steward of Yarmouth. " The honour which the late Corporation of your borough had con- ferred upon me was received with pride and gratitude. My dismissal by the present. Corporation confers almost equal honour on your obe- dient servant, " ORFORO. " To the Mayor of Yarmouth." Died at Whitley, on the 25th inst., HENRY Viscount HOOD, of Whitely in Warwickshire, and Baron HOOD, of Catherington, Hants, in the British and Irish peerage. His Lordship was in his 83d year, having been born in Angust, 1753, and succeeded to his mother's barony in 1806, and as Viscount in 1816. His Lordship had eight children, the six eldest of whom are dead. He is succeeded in his titles and estates by SAMUEL HOOD, eldest son of the deceased Viscount's eldest son, the late Lieutenant- Colonel HOOD, who died in 1814. The present Viscount HOOD is his son by CAROLINE, only daughter of the late Sir ANDREW SNAPE HAMMOND, Bart., and was born in January, 1808; his brother is a Captain in the Grenadier Guards. The late Viscount's father was the first Peer, and was ennobled for his eminent naval services. The youngest son of the deceased Viscount is Lord BRIDPORT. GEORGE W. SANDERS, Esq., of the Chancery bar, has been ap- pointed by Lord LANGDALE, the new Master of the Rolls, to be his chief secretary. ECCL HSIAST1CAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS j APPOINTMENTS, tee.

At the late meeting at Leicester, in aid of the Irish Clergy, the sum of upwards of 1J001. was actually collected in the room, to which a considerable addition is expected to be made. The Duke of RUTLAND delivered a most admirable speech on the occasion. Earl HOWE also was present, Lord Charles Manners, Sir George Beaumont, Mr. Butler Danvers, Mr. C. Packe, and many others of rank and distinc- tion in the county. Wednesday a Committee of Gentlemen presented to Mr. HOBSON, the late Senior Churchwarden of Christ Church, Surrey, a valuable and massive silver waiter, bearing the following inscription :—" Pre- sented, January 1836, to James Eland Hobson, Esq., late Church- warden of Christ Church Surrey, by the inhabitants whose names are inscribed at the back hereof, for his zeal and liberality in providing for their accomodation in the parish Church during unprecedented difficulties in the years 1833 and 1834, after two unsuccessful attempts to obtain a Church rate."

STOCK EXCHANGE.— SATURDAY. ' The Bank of England, since our last, have issued a notice that they are willing to make advances on Exchequer Bills, India Bonds, and other approved Securities, until the loth of February, in sums « f not less than £ 2,000 each, at 3% per cent., and that all previous advances may have the period of repayment extended to that date. This, however, has not had the effect of improving the Cousol Mar- ket which, during the whole of the week, has been flat, and at the close this afternoon the quotation for Account was 91 % V- Long Annuities are 16%, and Exchequer Bills, which have been 22 to 24, and 19 to 21, left off at 20 to 22 pm. India Bonds are 4 to G. In the Foreign Market the settlement of the Account took place on Thursday, and passed over without any defalcation ; bnt much excitement was created to- day by the disappearance of one of the 3eading men of " the Alley, " leaving sundry parties minus to the tune of some twelve or thirteen thousand pounds. There has been a general heaviness in the Foreign Securities, from which there has only been a partial re- action. Spanish Bonds have been at and they left off at 40%. Portuguese Bonds are % for the Five per Cents., and 53) 1 % for the Three per Cents. There is also considerable dullness in the Republican Bonds; Co- lumbian are 33H H, Chilian 49 50, and Mexican 37 X 8.

The works which they had com menced erecting at Villareal de Alava were destroyed during the action by the Carlists, who took possession of the muskets and other munitions left on the field of battle. The Queen's artillery would have fallen into the hands of the enemy had not Cordova ordered their hasty retreat. The Chief ofthe Staff ( it is not stated whether ofthe Christinos or Carlists) states that the Queen's troops lost more than a thousand men, and that upwards of six hundred wounded had entered Vittoria. The Foreign Legion, it is added, which was op- posed to the 3d battalion of Navarre and 2d of Castille, suffered much in the extraordinary efforts it made to save the rest of the army from total destruction. The Gazette de France has the following" The Algerine Legion fought gallantly; but it was forced to yield to the ardour of the attacks with the bayonet of the third battalion of Navarre. The English did not stand" one minute; they were gorged with brandy." The following gentlemen were on Friday called to the degree of Barrister- at- law by the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn:— James Dennis, Esq.; George Bowes Watson, Esq.; Thomas Wyatt Gunning, Esq.; George Farren, Jun., Esq.; Walter Wrottesley, Esq.; Robert Hepburn Murray, Esq. ; and John Gordon, Esq. We understand that P. Aubcr, Esq., the much- respected Secretary to the Hon. East India Company, retires from that important office, and that it is expected he will be succeeded by J. C. Melville, Esq. Mr. Walter, the Member for Berkshire, lias, it is said, been entrusted with a petition from the county of Carlow, calling for in- quiry into the Raphael and O'Connell job, signed by a body of elec- tors comprising an immense proportion of the wealth and respectabi- lity of the county. It appears by Friday's report of proceedings in the Court of King's Bench, that the rule for a criminal information against Mr. Hay- wood, for a libel on Lieutenant- Colonel Fairman, was not made ab- solute, in consequence of the death of the defendant, which occurred on Tuesday last. DEATH OF LORD STOWELL.— We regret to state that the venerable Lord Stowell died on Friday at Early Court, near Reading, in the 91 st year of his age. It is now positively stated that Mr. Stephen Rice, son of the Chan- cellor of the Exchequer, is to start as a candidate for Clonmel, under the auspices, and with the most energetic support, of Mr. O'Connell. The absurd scheme of Irish Church Reform devised by the Arch- bishop of Dublin appears to be the now seriously adopted plan of the Administration. Our readers saw an outline of the plan m the last Herald, and they can have no difficulty in appreciating the necessary effect of an arrangement which is to cause the impoverishment of the Clergy, by insurrection, in any one district of the island to be felt by all; and which, realizing the savage wish of the worst man that ever breathed, would give a* it were one neck to the whole body of the Irish Clergy, placingit at the mercy of Mr. Daniel O'Connell— for at his mercy it would be placed, if the temporalities of the Church were once centralised as to proprietorship, according to Dr. Whately's views.— Oxford Herald.
