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.

London: CHARLES KNIGHT, 22, Ludgate- street. Under the Superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. Just published, price Is., the Fifth 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, with its corres- ponding Biography, in each Number, a selection maybe made of Individuals, or .' Classes, by those 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 tfie 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 February are as follow:— 1. BLAKE. | 3. BARROW. 2. PRIESTLEY. | 4. DRYDEN. 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 ontby its extensive sale. It is now proceeding regularly towards its com- pletion. The select Series which is now offered to the public 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. Just 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 explanatory 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 © ye of the general reader. At the presenttime 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 ofthe 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 ofthe " 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 Genesis are about Forty in number. On 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, forming three handsome super- royal octavo volumes. It will be printed on fine thick paper, with a new type.

William Richard Ormsby. OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, Feb. 2. Memorandum— The Commission of Assist.-. Sur. S. Chisholin is antedated to the 17th of April, 1827, in order to place him in his former situation in the Ord- nance Medical Department; but such antedate is not to carry back- pay. The interest of opening Parliament bv the King in person, bears no comparison to the excitement of a Royal runaway match, like that which is now charming every fashionable coterie ill London. " What do you think of the Speech ?" is a question of no importance, compared with " Who ts Miss Smith?" or " Have you any new facts from Naples ?" These are questions easily asked— but they are not as easily answered. By a reference, however, to that oracle of the fashion- able world, the Court Journal of Saturday, those who are curious on the matter will become considerably enlightened, as well as amused. Captain Chamier, R. N., the popular author of " The Life of a Sailor," is about to produce a new naval novel under the title of " Ben Brace, the last of Nelson's Agamemnons." It has transpired that this fiction, independently of the stirring scenes and nautical humour by which it will be characterised, will embody the whole ca- reer of the illustrious Nelson, of whom Ben was the constant follower and coxswain. The battles of the Nile, Copenhagen, Trafalgar, and other exploits of the great hero, are graphically narrated: and this happy idea is followed up by episodical descriptions of contemporary actionsunderthecommandof othernaval chieftains. In " BenBrace" the public will be presented with the only historical romance of the sea yet produced ; and the author's established celebrity is a warrant of the ability with which it will be executed. BULWER," M. ARRYAT, GRATTAN, ( fee.— The reading circles are delighted with the productions of these popular writers, who, within a few weeks, have given to the public works which cannot fail to add to their already high reputation— Rienzi, the Last of the Tribunes, is the title of Mr. Bulwer's powerful romance— Japhet in search of a Father ( whose adventures are irresistably droll and amusing)— that of Capt. Marryat— sm& Agnes de Mansfelt, the name of Air. Grattan's hew novel. Among the anonymous productions, My Aunt Ponty- pool may be reckoned the most successful. " PARIS ASH THE PARISIANS IN 1835."—" Certainly the best of Mrs._ Trollope's literary performances. We think these volumes require much more than a cursory attention. The numerous anec- dotes in this work are vivaciously and wittily told ; and there is much more philosophy in the reflections than we might expect from a Lady, unless that Lady be one so rational and so experienced as is Mrs. Trollope. In addition to the intrinsic merits of the work it will he found very delightful reading. There is no doubt but that it will acquire very great popularity, and meet at the same time, from the fearless manner in which the Lady has given expression to her prin- ciples, many and bitter enemies. These she may well despise; as there is not a single expression in the work at variance with the most exalted patriotism, or which any author might blush to own."— Metropolitan Magazine. BULWER'S " FRANCE" AND " MONARCHY OF THE MIDDLE CLAS- SES."— This is a brilliant book. Its style is what the style of every work ought to be— the inspiration of its subject. It is airy, rapid, and picturesque, full of wit and good conversation; its conversational passages, we may add, forcibly calling to mind the delightful turns of expression to be met with ' in our own olden comedies. We can name no work with which we could compare it in these respects. It is an original book about a most original people. What would come nearest to it, we should say, is Horace Walpole, writing under the inspiration of Madame du Deft'and. " The Monarchy of the Middle Classes," in short, is notless valuable than it is delightful. There is great power of suggestion in it; throughout a very nice, as well as sound perception; and, taken altogether, we feel it to be equally the result of just reasoning as of quiet and happy observation.— New Monthly Magazine. MARRIAGE ix HIGH LIFE.— The young and accomplished daughter of the worthy Baronet about to be led to the hymeneal altar by the heir of a wealthy and noble Peer is a lady of surpassing beauty. " The extreme brilliancy and fairness of her complexion, united with a delicate transparency of skin, render the ladv an object of great personal attractions, and we are happy to understand the lovely fair one has, in the most handsome and generous manner, indited a fateful and unqualified letter extolling the eminent virtues of Mrs. . incent's Gowland's Lotion. The results of inclement weather are frequently subversive offemale comfort and attraction, by generating rough and harsh Skin chapped hands and lips, chilblains, & c. These innovations are successfully opposed, and where they have obtained progress or completion, that invaluable cosmetic, / lowland's ' Kalydor possesses the most radical and purifying qualities for effeotually excluding and resisting, with a rapid energy truly astonishing, all disorders which dis- organize the beauty of the countenance, and as increasing the fairness and transparency of the skin, exceeds all competition. To mothers nursing their offspring, it attords soothing relief in cases of inflammation. To gentlemen, Rowland's Kalydor is an infallible specific in allaying the smarting irritability of the face, and will reader shaving, heretofore a painful, now a pleasurable operation. PARLIAMENTARY ANALYSIS. HOUSE OF LORDS. THURSDAY. This being the day appointed for opening the Parliamentary cam- paign for the present year, and it having been announced that his Majesty would attend in person, the House of Lords was, as usual, richly adorned by the fair sex, attired in their most expensive and dazzling dresses. At half past one the Foreign Ambassadors, and many other fo- reigners of distinction, took their station, as usual, on the back bench to the right of the Throne. At this time also the Judges of the dif- ferent Courts of Law took their seats in the middle of the House. At a quarter before two the Lord Chancellor took his place on the Wool- sack, and was shook hands with, and congratulated by his Learned Brethren. About this time also Lord Melbourne and several other Peers entered the House. They were quickly followed by many others, who were of course all in their Court robes. At five minutes past two the flourish of trumpets and firing of cannon announced his Majesty's arrival; and at ten minutes past two the King entered the House," attended by Lord Melbourne bearing the Sword of State, the Lord Chancellor carrying the purse, and a train of other Noblemen. His Majesty having taken his seat upon the Throne, and requested their Lordships to be seated, directed that the Commons should at- tend. The L sher of the Black Rod then withdrew to summon the Commons, who immediately, headed by the Speaker, attended at the Bar. That part of the House in the immediate vicinity of the Throne is greatly deficient in light, the chief light coming from two glass doors sri each side at the rear of the Throne. The want of light for the King to see to read his Speech, was obvious, as soon almost as he had commenced. His MAJESTY, however, proceeded to read the Speech, with good emphasis, but occasionally, and, indeed, somewhat frequently, he was at a loss, and once " or twice used a wrong word, which Lord Melbourne corrected. Having read as far as the close of the para- graph ending with the. reference to the increase in the estimates for the naval service the librarian, Mr. Leary, brought a lighted taper to his Majesty. His MAJESTY then addressing the Members of the Houses, said, " My Lords and Gentlemen— I have been prevented, bv not being able for wantol'light to read tlvs Speech in the manner " I ought, to command your attention ; but I trust that by now reading it again, I shall be able to call sufficiently yonr Lordships' attention and that of the Gentlemen of the House of Commons to its various topics."— His Majesty then read the Speech ( of which a copy will be found in another part of the paper) in a clear and distinct tone of voice, one of the Officers of State holding the taper meanwhile. — His Majesty then retired. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Langdale took their oaths and their seats, and the House adjourned till five o'clock, when the Lord Chancellor took his seat on the Woolsack, and read the King's Speech, which having been again read by the Clerk at the table, the Duke of LEINSTER rose and moved the Address, which was seconded by the Earl of BURLINGTON. The Duke of WELLINGTON then addressed their Lordships. The Noble Duke admitted the great importance of the Speech which had been delivered from the Throne, and of the subjects embraced in that Speech, as calculated to produce a deep interest in Parliament and throughout the country. There was one part of it, however, to which he felt a strong objection. It was that which related to the Munici- pal Corporations of Ireland, and which went to pledge the House to the adoption of certain principles, contrary, as he maintained, to the usages of Parliament. It was not usual for the Sovereign to indicate the principles upon which they should proceed to deal with any measure. The paragraph to which he objected was the following:— " You are already in possession of the Report of the Commission ap- pointed to inquire into the state of the Municipal Corporations in Ireland; and I entertain a hope that it will be in your power to apply to any defects and evils which may have been shown to exist in those institutions a remedy founded upon the same principles as those of the Acts which have already passed for England and Scotland." After arguing at some length in support of the position already stated, the Noble Duke submitted an amendment in these words:—" That being already in possession of the Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the state of the Municipal Corporations in Ireland, we will proceed without delay to the consideration of any defects or evils which may have been shown to exist in these institutions, for the purpose of obviating them to ensure the impartial administration of justice." It was possible that the same principles which applied to England and Scotland might not apply to Ireland; and he hoped that his Majesty's Ministers would agree to the amendment for the reasons he had assigned. Lord MELBOURNE assured the House that no intention existed of pledging Noble Lords to any precise form of enactment for the Irish municipalities.— After a few observations from the Earl of WINCHIL- REA and Lord WHARNCLIFFE, in support of the amendment, the Marquis of. LANSDOWNE repeated the assurances of Lord MEL BOURNE ; and added that, without compromising their own view, the Government would accede to the motion of the Duke of WEL- LINGTON.— The amendment was then agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned. FRinAY. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, for Lord Denman, presented a Bill for the Abolition of Capital Punishment in certain cases, which was read a first time. Several of their Lordships then proceeded to St. James's with the Address in answer to his Majesty's Speech from the Throne.— On the motion of the Earl of SHAFTESBURY the House adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY. The Speaker entered the House shortly before two o'clock, at which time there was a considerable attendance of Alembersou both sides of the House.— Sir A. Clifford, the Usher of the Black Rod, appeared at two o'clock, and summoned the immediate attendance of the House in the House of Peers. The Speaker resumed the Chair at four o'clock.— After some Members had been sworn in, some new writs moved for, and a great variety of notices given, the House proceeded to take the King's Speech into consideration.— Sir J. WROTTESLEY moved, and Mr. PARKER ( of Sheffield) seconded, the Address. Sir ROBERT PEEL then addressed the House. After touching on our foreign policy in general, and particularly with respect to Spain, he protested in a very forcible manner against the breach of estab- lished courtesy involved in so wording the Address as to pledge Hon. Members not to inquire into and redress the defects in the Irish corporations, but to the declaration of a particular mode of legisla- tion on the subject, even when the Speech from the Throne, to which the Address was an answer, admitted that the proof of any defect had not yet been furnished by the Commissioners for Municipal Inquiry. In conclusion, the Right Hon. Baronet moved an amend- ment on that portion of the Address referred to, to the effect that the House would zealously inquire into and scrupulously redress any grievances that might be proved to exist. A debate of some length and of considerable animation ensued.— Lord J. RUSSELL defended the Address in its original form.— Lord STANLEY declared that he should support the amendment, if it were pressed to a division.— Lord HOIVICK supported the original Address, and rebutted the charges made against the Administration, that it had extended the power and sought the support of Mr. O'CON- NELL. He admitted the power of that individual, and he was sorry that it existed; but he was not, and never could , be, the personal friend of Mr. O'Connell.— Lord DUDLEY STUART said he should agree to the Address, but he could not avoid regretting that all mention of Poland was omitted.— Lord PALMERSTON contended that there was no ground for this complaint.— Mr. O'CONNELL exclaimed with great vehemencq against the injustice of refusing a full equality of rights to Ireland, and vindicated the conduct of the Irish Government, which he described as being perfectly impartial in its conduct towards the two contending parties. He renewed the threat of repeal, in case his expectations from the justice of this country should be disappointed. — Mr. SHAW replied to the arguments of Mr. O'Connell.— The amendment of Sir ROBERT PEEL was rejected on a division, the num- bers being— For the original motion, 284 ; For the Amendment, 243; leaving a majority of 41 in favour of Ministers.— The House then adjourned. FRIDAY. Several notices of motion were given, among which was one by Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the law of landlord and tenant in Ireland ; one by Mr. DIVETT for the disfran- chisement of the borough of Stafford; and two by Mr. POULTER and Mr. HARDY— the one to prevent intimidation, and the other bribery, at elections. A good deal of desultory conversation arose upon the motion for agreeing to the standing orders, but no result of importance ensued.— Mr. EWART afterwards moved that no new business, except of a formal nature, should be entered upon after 11 o'clock— afterwards changed to half- past 11.— Mr. O'CONNELL contended for the advantage of daily instead of nightly sittings.— Mr. HUME expressed an opinion, that all private business should be removed from the House of Com- mons, as the only means of affording time for that of a public nature. — This observation called up Sir ROBERT PEEL, who exposed, in A very striking manner, the injury that could not fail to arise from the total change in the arrangement of Parliamentary proceedings, without which Mr. Hume's plan must be altogether inoperative. The Right Hon. Baronet opposed the motion, which, on a division, was rejected by a majority of 233 to 51. Sir JOHN WROTTESLEY then brought up the report on the Address in answer to the Ring's Speech, and a debate of considerable interest took place with reference to the affairs of Spain.— Mr. FECTOR, Air. GROVE PRICE, Lord FRANCIS I'GERTON, Lord PALMERSTON, Lord MA HON, and several other Members, took part in the discussion.— The report was at length agreed to without a division. Mr. MACLEAN subsequently gave notice of a motion for returns of the quantity of warlike stores supplied by our Government to that of Madrid ; of the amount of payment hitherto made for them by the latter; and of the number of officers of the British service now serving under Lieut.- Colonel Evans, who are in receipt of half- pay or pen- sions from the English Government. In answer to a question from Mr. Robinson, the CHANCELLOR of EXCHEQUER declared that the balance of the national grant to Leopold ( now King of the Belgians) had been transferred to the public credit.— In answer to a question from Lord Dudley Stuart, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER intimated the intention of Govern- ment to move for the same grant to the Poles this year which was allowed last year.— Adjourned. Intelligence has been received from Hanover of the convalescence of her Royal Highness the Duchess of CAMBRIDGE. The agents of the Spanish Government in London have recom- menced recruiting, with a view of sending out a reinforcement of 2,000 men to replace the casualties which may occur during the cam- paign, and to form a sort of reserve army. The cutter General Evans has left Woolwich for Santander, with 100 men and ammunition ; and the Vixen is to follow on Monday, with 120. A depot has been esta- blished at Liverpool to recruit 500 men, and agents have been for- warded to Dublin for the same purpose. WYNDHAM LEWIS, Esq., M. P. for Maidstone, has paired off with the Hon. Colonel KNOX, Member for Dungannon, until the 2d March. SUTHERLANDSHIRE. — We hear on good authority that when another general election occurs, Mr. MACLEOD, the younger, of Cadball, will be succeeded in the representation of the county of Sutherland by the Hon. WILLIAM HOWARD, brother of the Earl of CARLISLE, and nncle of the Duchess of SUTHERLAND.— Inverness Courier. The French papers give accounts from Naples of an extraordinary elopement which has occurred there, which lias set every one on the qui vive. The actors in the drama are no less than Prince CHARLES ( the second brother of the King), and a young Irish lady, a Miss PENELOPE SMITH, of whom he has long been enamoured. She is handsome, most expert in horsemanship, and said to have 20,000/. The fugitives passed through Rome on the 15th January, and it was their intention to proceed to Geneva, where the Prince purposed espousing the lady. His Royal Highness was disguised as a courier, and officiated in that capacity on the journey. The Worcestershire Guardian says:— We are informed that Mr. FOLEY has resigned his pretensions to the borough of Droitwich. If the rumour be correct, that gentleman has, we think, taken a prudent course ; for it is pretty clear that the " public morality" of the new corporation there was very well dis- posed to bring him into some awkward scrapes, without the shadow of a chance of being able to put him into Parliament in return. This, indeed, appears so far to be believed that a placard has been issued to the " worthy and independents" of the borough, assuring them that " a gentleman of independent" principles and of large fortune ( here is a bait for the " public morality" men) will come forward." Alas, the registration, which has caused Mr. FOLEY to retreat, will not afford any very tempting inducement to any other gentleman to advance and take up his untenable position. The borough of Droitwich is Conservative, and Mr. FOLEY'S retire- ment upon the heels of the election of an exclusively Radical town council may be taken as an erne3t of the influence which those bodies are likely to exercise upon Parliamentary elections elsewhere. If Mr. FOLEY deemed it worth a straw he would of course have tried his chance in another struggle. The third anniversary dinner of the Bury Constitutional Club, which took place at the Guildhall on Friday evening, displayed the greatest assemblage of Conservatives which has ever met together in this borough. About 2G0 sat down at table—( the company was in- creased after dinner to about 300)— ORBELL RAY OAKES, Esq., in the Chair, supported on his right by Earl JERMYN ; Colonel RUSHBROOKE, M. P. on the left; Mr. J. SPARKE officiated as Vice- Chairman. The Bury Herald gives a long report of the speeches, which we are quite unable to reprint. The most enthusiastic feeling prevailed on the occasion, and the proceedings of the day leave do doubt of the triumph- ant ascendancy of Conservatism in Bury. The Warwickshire Standard says:— Our readers will recollect that a few months agoColonel ANSON, at a " farewell" dinner given to him by his late constituents at Yarmouth, stated that his future intentions with regard to South Staffordshire depended upon the result of the registration then in progress. The registration is terminated ; the Colonel is satisfied that he would have no chance of success at the approaching election; and, rather than incur the obloquy of another defeat for the county, he is now a candidate for the representation of Stoke- upon- Treut, occasioned by the resignation of Mr. IIEATHCOTE. The electors of South Staffordshire ought to bear in mind that if they were strong enough to return Sir FRANCIS GOODRICKE, they are equally powerful and able to rejectSir JOHN WROTTESLEY. An oppor- tunity, we doubt not, will speedily be afforded them to again put forth their" strength, and if used with the same judgment as at the last election, there can be no question but a similar triumph will reward their patriotic exertions. Accounts have been received of the death of the Earl of STAIR at Paris. His Lordship's successor in his titles and estates is Lieut.- General Sir J. H. DALRYMPLE, Bart. We regret to announce the premature decease of the Hon. Mrs. Cox, which took place on Sunday last, in Grosvenor- place. This lamented and amiable young lady was the eldest daughter of the Dowager Lady RIVERS. " In July, 1834, she was united to FREDERICK WILLIAM Cox, and has died before the completion of her 26th year. His MAJESTY has been pleased to confer upon Major f lorKiNS, late of the 98th Regiment, upon Lieut.- Colonel PAUL PHIPPS, of Bartley Manor House,* Herts, and upon Lieut.- Col. LESLIE, the Third Class of the Royal Hanoverian Guelphic Order. The Earl of BRADFORD has accepted the office of President of the North Shropshire Conservative Association. The Leeils Intelligencer says:—' The Whig papers are claiming the present Lord MILTON as " a staunch Liberal." We believe that he is a really liberal young Nobleman, and, for the best of all reasons— he is a good Conservative, and ( oh, horror!) atleast, three- parts Tory. We copy the following paragraph from the Standard. The re- volting and execrable doings of the Liberal butchers of Barcelona are perhaps unparalleled even by the cannibals of New Zealand :— THE BARCELONA CANNIBALS.— It appears that the blood- thirsty- wretches who dragged 100 Carlists from the citadel of Barcelona, and savagely put them to death, were not quite satisfied with the perpe- tration only of this barbarous act of cruelty, but consummated their atrocity by feeding upon the flesh of the'ir slaughtered victims. If , ,, >.. « .! ' • « - " • * - letter in the tin., mi i . . > ' ) < MI,.- 1I1CJ11 i' ' iin .......... - the 4tli— the assassins of unconvicted prisoners. The highest classes, even ladies, prize, as a patriotic act, the eating of O'DONN ELL'S body. By this, you see, the lowest or uneducated is not the most contempti- ble class here. An astounding word escaped my pen above; I must add therefore, that I myself saw several persons eating O'DONNELL'S flesh, after having cut off his feet and head. I hope thelree Press of England will not omit to stigmatise the cannibals of both classes— the governing mob, as well as the educated one. I finish with the remark, that accounts like the one here detailed are often, if not actually distorted, at least drawn up in conformity to the personal feeling of the writer; but my object has been to give the facts, and so correctly as to defy contradiction on the part of any truth- telling person," After such a statement, human nature must stand appalled.

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 obtained.

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

SECRETARY— Mr. Dean. Various reports have been industriously circulated that this line of Railway to Brighton, which is the shortest and the direct one, with a branch to Shoreham, as originally projected by Sir John Rennie, has been abandoned. So far from these reports being true, all the requisite surveys, plans, sections, and books of refer- ence, have been made, and duly deposited, and steps taken in order that applica- tion for an Act may be made to Parliament early in the ensuing Session. The advantages of the direct line— which will pass through Croydon and Merst ham, and near to Reigate, Crawley, and Cuckfield, to Brighton and Shoreham, over the Dorking line— are the following :— 1. The reduction of nearly nine miles distance from London to Brighton. 2. The small number of the curves, and those being of a larger radius. 3. The reduction of the annual expense of the working power, at the same time requiring no assisting power, the steepest gradient being only 1 in 268. 4. The saving of time in the performance of the journey. 5. The saving to the public in the transit of passengers and goods, in conse- quence of the line being shorter than the Dorking line. 6. The favourable nature of the soil for the cuttings and consolidation of the embankments, and the consequent yearly saving of expense in maintaining them. 7. The comparative low value of the land through which the direct line passes. 8. No Parks or Domains will be interfered with. 9. The saving of nearly 4,5001. per annum, to maintain Rails and Works in general, for the reduced distance to Brighton. 10. The approach of the line to Lewes, the sea- port of Newhaven, and Tun- bridge- Wells, and the facility of extending it to other towns and places on the east, as well as to Shoreham, Worthing, Horsham, Dorking, Arundel, Chichester, Portsmouth, and other towns and places on the west. 11. The reduction of the cost of the direct line to j£ 750,000, by adopting the Croydon and Greenwich line as the London terminus. The deposit of j£ 2 per Share is deemed amply sufficient to meet all Parliamen- tary and incidental expenses which may be incurred in promoting the success of the undertaking. All applications for Shares are to be immediately made by letter ( post- paid), to Messrs. Sweet and Sutton, Basinghall- street, London, in the undermentioned form. London. February lst, 1836.

Deposit 1. The Provisional Committee of this undertaking having been led to apprehend, from the statements put forth by the supporters of the Northern and Eastern and Great Northern Railways, both of which proposed to throw out branches into Norfolk, that so far as regards that portion of the Eastern Counties line which extends beyond Ipswich to Norwich and Yarmouth, they would have to encounter an opposition in Parliament, the extent and expense of which no one could pre- tend to calculate, had resolved to limit their application in the present session of Parliament for an act to execute the line , to Ipswich only, being so far wholly unopposed But since they came to this resolution, and closed their books of subscription. accordingly, the Norwich and Yarmouth branch of the Northern and Eastern line has been abandoned, and the plans of the' Great Northern have been lound to extend to Norwich only, leaving out Yarmouth altogether. Tbe Eastern Counties Railway is. therefore, now the only one in the field which proposes to connect Yarmouth, the first fishing station in England, with the metropolis, the only one which can give the large manufacturing town of Norwich a railway communication both with the metropolis and with the sea, and still as before the only line to Romford, Chelmsford, Colchester, and Ipswich, all of them towns of great and increasing importance. The Provisional Committee feel it to be now their duty, under this great alter- ation of circumstances, to use their best endeavours to obtain, in present session, an act for the whole of their line as originally projected, as laid down in the plans and sections lodged with the different clerks of the peace. The subscription for shares in this undertaking is therefore again opened, until the additional numbers necessary to carry the line onward from Ipswich to Nor- wich and Yarmouth are disposed of. An account, from actual observation, of the traffic on the line is now in the course of being taken, and the Committee are happy to state that it appears from the returns already received to be much greater than was originally anticipated. The revenue from passenger traffic alone is clearly ascertained to be more than equal to paying the whole expense of working the line, and affording a clear dividend of upwards of 15 per cent, on the capital required to be invested'. The Committee have also the pleasure of stating, that since their line was first brought before the public, an entirely new source of revenue has sprung up in the proposed Thames- haven Railway, which is to join the Eastern Counties at Romford, and is expected to yield an additional .£ 10,000 per annum to this CoiVipany. Subscribers will not be liable for more than their first deposits fill the act of Parliament is obtained ; nor will they be afterwards responsible for more than the amount of their respective shares, which will be called for in instalments of not more than at a time, with an interval of three months between every two instalments.

GY A MONDAY EDITION ( for the Country) is published at Three o'clock in the afternoon, containing the Markets and Latest News. JOHN BULL. LONDON, FEBRUARY 7. THEIR MAJESTIES arrived in town at half- pc& t one on Wednesday. The KINS held a Court at two, at which his MAJESTY gave audience to the Portuguese, Turkish, Bra- zilian, and Saxon Ministers. His MAJESTY held a Privy Council, at which Lord SE- GRAVE was sworn in Lord Lieutenant of the County of Glou- cester, in the room of his Grace the Duke of BEAUFORT, deceased, as was Mr. IIANBURY LEIGH into the Lord Lieute- nancy of Monmouth, and Mr. WILLIAMS into that of Brecon, both also vacant by the demise of his Grace. The KING pricked the roll of Sheriffs for the present year. A proclamation was ordered for a distribution of silver four- penny pieces. Colonel LEITH HAY was knighted, and the KING'S Speech settled. On Thursday his MAJESTY proceeded with the usual cere- monies, to the House of Lords, and opened the Session of Parliament; the badness of the weather greatly injured the splendour of the procession. On Friday the KING held a Chapter of the Garter, at which the Duke of HAMILTON and the Marquess of LANS DOWNE were invested with the ensigns of that noble order. THE following is the Speech, read— good- naturedly and con- descendingly— twice by his MAJESTY in the House of Lords, on Thursday, and which is constitutionally called the KING'S SPEECH :— " My Lords and Gentlemen, " It is with great satisfaction that I again meet the great Council of the nation assembled in Parliament. I am ever anxious to avail myself of your advice and assistance, and I rejoice that the present state of public affairs, both at home and abroad, is such as to permit you to proceed without delay or interruption to the calm examination of those measures which will be submitted to your consideration. " I continue to receive from my allies, and generally from all Foreign Powers, assurances of their unalterable desire to cultivate with me those friendly relations which it is equally my wish to main- tain with them: and the intimate union which happily subsists be- tween this country and France is a pledge to Europe of the continu- ance of the general peace. " Desirous on all occasions to use my friendly endeavours to remove causes of disagreement between other Powers, I have offered my mediation in order to compose the difference which has arisen be- tween France and the United States. This offer has been accepted by the King of the French: the answer of the President of the United States has not yet been received; but I entertain a confident hope that a misunderstanding between two nations so enlightened and high- minded will be settled in a manner satisfactory to the feel- ings and consistent with the honour of both. " I have still to lament the continuance of the civil contest in the Northern Provinces of Spain. The measures which I have taken, and the engagements into which I have entered, sufficiently prove my deep anxiety for its termination; and the prudent and vigorous conduct of the present Government of Spain inspires me with the hope that the authority of the Queen will soon be established in every part of her dominions ; and that the Spanish nation, so long connected by friendship with Great Britain, will again eajoy the blessings of internal tranquillity and union. " I have given directions that there shall be laid before you the Treaty which I have concluded with the Queen of Spain for the sup- pression of the slave trade. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, " I have directed the estimates of the year to be prepared and laid before yon without delay. They have been framed with the strictest regard to a well considered economy. " The necessity ofmaintaining the maritime strength ofthe country, and of giving adequate protection to the extended commerce of my subjects, has occasioned some increase in the estimates for the naval branch of the public service. " The state of the commerce and manufactures of the United Kingdom is highly satisfactory. I lament that any class of my sub- jects should still suffer distress : and the difficulties which continue to be felt in important branches of agriculture may deserve your inquiry, with the view of ascertaining whether there are any measures which Parliament can advantageously adopt for the alleviation of this pressure. " My Lords and Gentlemen, 1 ~ " I have not yet received the further report of the Commission appointed to consider the state of the several dioceses of England and Wales. But I have reason to believe that their recommendations upon most of the important subjects submitted to them are nearly prepared. They shall be laid before you without delay, and you will direct your early attention to the Ecclesiastical Establishment, with the intention of rendering it more efficient for the holy purposes for which it has been instituted. " Another subject which will naturally occupy you, is the state of the tithe in England and Wales; and a measure will be submitted to you, having for its end the rendering this mode of providing for the Clergy more fixed and certain, and calculated to relieve it from that fluctuation and those objections to which it has hitherto been subject. " The principles of toleration by which I have been invariably guided must render me desirous of removing any cause of offence or trouble to the consciences of any portion of my subjects, and I am therefore anxious that you should consider whether measures may not be framed, which, whilst they remedy any grievances which affect those who dissent from< the doctrines or discipline of the Estab- lished Church, will also be of general advantage to the whole body of the community. " The speedy and satisfactory administration of justice is the first and most sacred duty of a Sovereign, and 1 earnestly recommend you to consider whether better provisions may not be made for this great purpose in some of the departments of the law, and more par- ticularly in the Court of Chancery. " I trust that you will be able to effect a just settlement of the ques- tion of tithe in Ireland upon such principles as will tend at length to establish harmony and peace in that country. " You are already in possession of the Report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the state of the Municipal Corporations in Ireland, and I entertain a hope that it will be in your power to apply to any defects and evils which may have been shown to exist in those institutions, a remedy founded upon the same principles as those of the Acts which have already passed for England and Scotland. " A further report of the Commission of Inquiry into the condition of the poorer clashes Of my subjects in Irelaitd wU! speedily be laid before you.. You Vill approach this subject frith the caution due to its imp stance aiid difficulty ; and the experience of the salutary ef- fect-:, already produced by the Act for the amendment of the laws re- nting to the poor in England and Wales may in many respects assist your deliberations. " 1 rely upon your prudence and wisdom, and upon your determi- nation to maintain as well es to amend the laws and institutions of the country : and I commit those questions of domestic policy to which I have deemed it my duty to direct your attention into your hands, persuaded that you will so treat them as to increase the happiness and prosperity, by promoting the religion and morality of my people." This is not the first time we have had occasion to give an opinion upon a King's Speech, as it is most impudently called; but never did opportunity occur when we could so securely indulge in calling such « tiling sheer and pure non- sense. intermingled slily with low cunning, from which in the House of Lords, Lord MELBOURNE, like a gentleman, revolted, and which, by one of those extraordinary manoeu- vres of Whig- Radicalism, was successfully supported by Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the House of Commons. This could only be the case in a disjointed Cabinet, where the leader is obliged to bear with the ravings and cravings of his pauper colleagues : encouraged by the howlings of O'CON- NELL— cheered by the absence of Conservative Memb'ers, who, from never supposing the possibility of JOHN the lacquey's presuming to insult his Master by refusing what his Lord had conceded, were absent from their places, divided the House, when, after the severest whip ever known, except that of Brevet Lieutenant- Colonel EVANS, he procured a majority which increases the number of the occupants of the oil jars by ONE! As to any remarks upon the Speech, those already made by the Duke of WELLINGTON in one House, and by Sir ROBERT PEEL in the other, save us sill trouble. But one point strikes us more strongly than it appears to have stricken either of those eminent personages— we mean the concomitant increase of our naval force, with the universal declarations of friendship from all the Powers of Europe. If we are so harmoniously linked with all the nations of the world, why increase our maritime strength ? As for the objectionable portion of the Speech, with regard to the Municipal Corporations in Ireland, we think it nothing by comparison with the atrocious omission of any allusion to the state of something extremely like rebellion in which that country is at this moment placed. We beg the attention of our readers to a list of outrages which we have collected, in ano- ther part of our paper, all of which exhibit signs of the most terrific barbarity ; but some of which evidently proclaim an organised revolutionary movement at hand. The division of Thursday, if a surprise on the Conservatives, was a greater surprise to Lord MELBOURNE, when he heard of it. It is clear that the present Government cannot stand with such support ; and although circumstances gave them a majority, about which they are weak enough to crow, it is one upon which they must not reckon. On Friday, Lord PALMERSTON affected to be facetious in reply to Mr. GROVE PRICE, especially on the affairs of Spain. We are happy to say that a very few days will prove to his Lordship the entire truth of Mr. PRICE'S statements, and as we go upon facts rather than anything else, we feel quite sure that unless Lord PALMERSTON, under the protection of Mr. O'CONNELL, dares to come to Parliament lor a vast increase of the Army Estimates, as he has already suggested, an addition to those for the navy, his friend Mrs. MUNOS and her daughter will be put in a position to save this country any further soli- citude about them. Next week we consider business will begin— what has happened is nothing— and so, we believe, his MAJESTY'S Ministers firmly believe. IT is pleasing, and cannot fail to be instructive, to select from facts and circumstances of real life, illustrations of the manners and habits of a nation. M. FIESCHI, the assassin, whose trial is now going on— or, at least is, while we write this— in reply to M. le President, affords us one of those ex- amples which we love to cull. We give the question aud the answer:— FIESCHI, in reply to some questions from the President, explained the preparations to which he had devoted his time some days before the 28th of J uly. He acknowledged that some doubts as to the firing of the train of powder had arisen, and that an experiment of it was made. When was this experiment made ?— MOREY and myself appointed a rendezvous at PEPIN'S for this purpose. When we met we agreed to go to the cemetery of Pere la Chaise. MOREY and I went there first j PEPIN, who was always showing his cunning, did not join us till ten minutes afterwards. We went into the cemetery. PEPIN and MOREY were of opinion that we should make our experiment of the train of powder there. I said yes; but if any one was making love to his mistress among the trees, we should be seen. They saw that I was right. We went out of the cemetery to the vines on the right. What can be more characteristic of our lively and agreeable neighbours than this mixture of love and murder in a ceme- tery. The selection of the place for the rehearsal of an assas- sination seems strange, but for love- making among the trees, the conversion of a tomb- yard into a Vauxhall, appears, espe- cially in Paris, where facilities for such little entretiens are so plentiful, stranger still. WE perceive that Mr. HAIIDY has given notice that he in- tends on Thursday to move for a Committee to inquire into the Carlow affair; and we believe that the agents of Mr. O'CONNELL are in the mean time moving heaven and earth to effect a reconciliation between that person and Mr. RAPHAEL. Mr. RAPHAEL, however, must know his position too well to submit to auysuch proposition. He is at present the injured dupe of Mr. O'CONNELL— let him be reconciled to his de- ceiver, and he becomes his guilty accomplice. The Morning Post has told us, in the way of question, what are the contents of the letter which Mr. RAPHAEL offers to publish whenever Mr. O'CONNELL calls for it. We must say, we think Mr. RAPHAEL has no occasion to wait for any such call. That letter is no more a confidential letter than any one of the others which have been published, and, like those, has been deprived of its confidential character by the conduct and proceedings of Mr. O'CONNELL. We believe that the Morning Post is perfectly correct in its questions, and that the letter of which it speaks, contains an offer to Mr. RAPHAEL of a Baronetcy, as a set- off for the two thousand pounds; and we are not sure that it had not been arranged that Mr. RAPHAEL was previously to receive the honour of knighthood, in order more naturally to pave the way to the superior dignity. Now, what Mr. O'CONNELL, in the execution of his great scheme of deceiving Mr. RAPHAEL, chooses to offer him, is nothing to the public, except as exhibiting the character of1 the man. That, which is interesting to the country, is to know how far Mr. O'CONNELL was authorised or justified, by any previous communication with Government, in making such a> promise or proposition to Mr. RAPHAEL, supposing it to have been made. Mr. RAPHAEL has now gone so far with the exposure that any reserve on his part in the present stage of the affair would be weakness. Mr. O'CONNELL lias taken his two thousand pounds, and has loaded him with abuse and invective couched in the strongest and coarsest terms, and it is Mr. RAPHAEL'S duty to himself to show the public the full extent of the delusions practised upon him— more especially as Mr. O'CONNELL notoriously pressed him, whom he now denounces as one of the most incapable and unworthy of GOD'S creatures, upon the electors of Carlow; and the publication of the letter now referred to, will show whether he had not also recommended him to the KING'S Minister for the highest titular distinction a Commoner can obtain. We suppose his MAJESTY'S Ministers will not refuse the Committee for which Mr. HARDY intends to move— that spread of their sheltering wings would speak rather more plainly than Lord MELBOURNE, after his solemn declarations as a Peer and a gentleman, might like; but in case they should make a show of defending him, we would suggest to certain Conservative Irish Members to be in their places next Thurs- day, which last Thursday they were not. THE Government have at last plucked up courage to pro- tect the revenue, and those who largely contribute to its pros- perity, by attacking the unstamped press, even at the risque of offending their dear friends " The Unwashed." A man of the name of CLEAVE has been sentenced to a fine of' 600/. by a Jury in the Exchequer, for publishing an unstamped news- paper, called the Police Gazette. We presume this will serve as a warning to other offenders of a similar nature. MODERN LIBERALITY, AND ITS FRUITS. WE find that the report of the Committee of Deputies of the Protestant Dissenters to the General Meeting, on the 23d of December, 1835, concludes with the following passages:— " Though your Committee are not able to announce the specific redress of any of your numerous grievances, yet they have the satis- faction to inform the meeting, that his Majesty's Ministers are about to redeem their pledge by early bringing before Parliament measures for their relief. They are now preparing two Bills, one for the registration of births, marriages, ana deaths, and another for the marriage of Dissenters, the contents of which will be communicated to the united Committee before their introduction into the Hoiise of Commons. In conclusion : when you have witnessed a Tory Govern- ment yield so far to the spirit of the age, as to make concessions which could not have been anticipated; and when you have also seen their successors in power, to whom you have always looked for support, pledge themselves to bring forward early in the next session, upon their own responsibility, certain measures of undoubted relief; your Committee consider that the political transactions of the past year, whether in or out of Parliament, have been highly favourable to the diffusion of the principles which you cherish, and the more general recognition of your rights." It is impossible for us, having laboured as we did in oppo- sition to those concessions, which are now so triumphantly referred to, to forget that they were, as the Dissenters of all denominations say, made by a Tory Government; followed too, by the last concession of all to the Papists. How their bene- factors and liberators are now treated by those whose preten- sions they admitted, and whose judiciously imposed political fetters they removed, will pretty well serve to show— even if Mr. O'CONNELL and his satellites did not openly proclaim them— the real objects and intentions by which the now emancipated factions were then actuated. On the files of this paper may be read prophecy after pro- phecy, which is either amply fulfilled, or in progress of ful- filment; and while we were vainly fighting the good fight, our surprise was equal to our mortification, when we found a Con- servative Government yielding, step by step, the ground- work of the Constitution. That the results which are now breaking forth were naturally to be expected, everybody in the country, whether favourable or hostile to the system of libera- lity— as it was called— which was pursued by the Ministers, was fully aware. Those who were hostile, trembled— those who were favourable, exulted. The only persons who seemed to shut their eyes and ears to what seemed almost self- evident, were the Government and its supporters. We are obliged to a correspondent, to whom we are indebted for many valuable communications, for the following copy of verses written in the year 1790:—• THE TEST; OR, THE DISSENTER'S FROLIC : A NEW BALLAD. Ridiculum acrifortuis et melius. Come all ye bold Dissenters Of high and low degree, Let's hasten to the Parliament, And beggars we will be; And a begging we will go Will go— and a begging we will go. We'll beg the House of Commons To hear our dismal tale ; And doubt not our petitions Will first or last prevail. So a begging, & c. For as a sturdy beggar Ties up an arm or leg, Or scarifies his head and face, That better he may beg: So a begging, & c. Thus we will trump up grievances, And sham that we're oppress'd; And then, whate'er our meaning is, By none it will be guess'd. So a begging, & c. Let us by begging once destroy The barriers cf the Test, Then soon with PRIESTLEY'S gunpowder We'll blow up all the rest. So a begging, & c. With this we soon shall overturn Religion and the laws, And in their stead, will, with ourselves, Set up " the good old cause." So a begging, & c. When once the hop'd- for breach is made, We'll do whate'er we chuse ; The Church's doors shall open stand To Papists, Turks, and Jews. So a begging, & c » i January 24. ' JOHN BULL. 31 Our pious fathers on a time O'erturn'd both Church and State, And if onr begging should prevail, Again they'll meet their fate. So a begging, & c. Then from all rule and government, From King and Lords set free, Then Bishops we no more shall have, But Bishops we will be. So a begging, < fcc. But should the House of Commons once Suspect our dark designs, We fear that we should find ourselves Blown up by our own mines. So a begging, & c. Then mind, good brethren, what ye do, Beware the fatal hour; For conscience roar, and liberty— But name not wealth and power. , So a begging, & c. Would you get rid of this same test, Our foes with Tests pursue; And now you'll never vote for those Who will not vote for yon. So a begging, & c. Heaven bless the KING and Parliament, And grant that they may'nt see JVhat we do mean till ' tis too late, Then " HEIGH, BOYS, UP GO WE." And a begging they may go, & c. The prayer with which this poem finishes, appeal's to us to have been most entirely granted. It remains now for the Conservatives to exert themselves to render the mistaken kindness and misplaced confidence of their former leaders as innoxious to the Constitution in Church and State as possible, by checking the triumphs of the intoxicated and ungrateful invaders, and sending to Parliament, when they have the op- portunity, men of loyal and religious principles, who will do their duty firmly and fearlessly to their KING aud country. Egotism is a most disagreeable failing, and we seldom in- dulge in it— but with reference to this poem, aud to the actual position of affairs at the moment, we cannot resist the tempta- tion of giving our readers the following extract from the John Bull of March 25, 1821— at which period we were considered the most bigoted and illiberal of writers. On that day we said, speaking of the Bill for emancipating the Papists :— The dangers to be apprehended to our Ecclesiastical establishment, as well as to our civil institutions, are so great and apparent, and the securities proposed so inefficient and uncertain, that welook forward to the passing of this Bill as almost amounting to an overthrow of all that has hitherto been held dear and valuable in our Constitution; and we are only surprised, that those men who profess such reverence for that Constitution, should be amongst the foremost to attack and undermine it. If the concessions contemplated be made to the Catholics, how can we, with any consistency, refuse to remove all the disabilities under which all Dissenters from the Church of England labour ? We ask, are the supporter* of the Catholic Claims prepared to go this length, and throw down all the barriers in which our religious and political safety have hitherto existed ? If they are not, do they not commit a manifest injustice to the Protestant, and give the boon to the Catholic at his expense ? For our own ports, warmly attached as we are to the establish- ment in Church and State as it now stands, and anxious as we are that NO change should take place in it, were we called upon, as a matter of necessity, to make any concession, we should infinitely prefer admitting our Protestant brethren to the advantages from which they are excluded, than the spiritual subjects of a foreign dominion, whose characteristics have been, time out of mind, the extension of its power, and the conversion of others to its tenets. With the Protestant Dissenter we have one guard, which is want- ing in the Catholic; namely, an uniformity of belief on the great doctrinal points of our religion; the difference being merely as to points of discipline. With the Catholic there can be no amalgama- tion, and if he be true to the creed he is taught, he can never act so conscientiously as when he is labouring to destroy that, which the Protestant Dissenter would unite himself with the Established Church in upholding. It is said that no apprehension need be entertained in giving them seats in Parliament, because the numbers would be so few that the danger would be nothing— but who can calculate what those numbers may hereafter be ? The Catholics even in this country are a wealthy and powerful body, though comparatively few in numbers, and if the concession were confined to them we are free to admit, that the danger would be small; but having now admitted into Parliament an hundred Mem- bers from the sister kingdom, where the Catholic population is acknowledged to be as four to one, and where the electors at least in the counties and large towns may be fairly estimated in nearly, if not quite the same proportion, is there not good ground to calculate that Catholics will , be elected in the same proportion ? For it should be recollected, that though the great mass of landed proprietors in Ireland be Protestants, yet their tenantry are Catholics, and from the progress of commercial wealth in that country, a great number of Catholics are now become extensive landed proprietors, so as in the southern and western counties, to give a great preponderance in the elections to the Catholic body; this we premise, we do not hesitate to affirm, that although the Protestant interest in Ireland may main- tain its present ascendancy for a short period, yet that it will even- tually be overpowered by the Catholic population and property, and be driven out of the field: the consequence of this will be, that a great majority of the members from Ireland will be Catholics, and that we may calculate upon having eventually in the House of Commons, a body of between sixty and seventy Catholic Members. Now we will fairly put it to our readers, and the supporters of the Bill, whether danger is not to be apprehended from the union and simultaneous movements of such a body, upon all questions which it will be to their personal and individual advantage to support. We know that, upon many occasions, the parties in that House are so nicely balanced, that a much smaller number would be capable of turning the scale; may not, therefore, the Catholic Members from giving their support upon particular questions vital to either party, receive in return promises of support for their particular objects, anil thus by degrees encroachments be made upon all that remains of our Establishment, and the securities notv taken for what is left be entirely done away with ? These are a few of the many objections which strike us— they are sufficient, however, to make us repeat the sentiment which cannot be too strongly urged upon this subject, " LET NOT THE LAWS OF ENGLAND BE CHANGED." MR. O'CONNELL, of whom too much is made even by those who loathe and despise him, is daily and hourly working his own return to the level whence the notice of his opponents have raised him. Nothing could be more ill- judged— we should say ridiculous in itself, or more disgusting to their readers, than the delay in the publication of the London papers, one day last week, in order to give an account of what Mr. O'CONNELL said at a dirty- shirt dinner at Birmingham. Who cares what he says— everybody knows what lie does, and what he wants to do; but to keep back the metropolitan journals in order to circulate the hundred times repeated balderdash of the mountebank, was perfectly ridiculous. To show that his ignominious expulsion from the Commer- cial- rooms at Liverpool, lib repulse at Cork, and his recep- tion by the respectable portion of the people of Birmingham, are not the only proofs of the gradual failure of his absurd quackery, we may notice the meeting of the Radicals of West Surrey, which took place on Tuesday, for the purpose of establishing a " Reform Association" in that district. Several speeches were made in support of the object pro- posed, and the usual quantity of abuse was of course poured out upon Conservatives in general, and upon the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir R. PEEL in particular. It need scarcely be said, that the gentlemen present being mostly of one opinion, no opposition was offered to the project, and the " Reform Association" was established accordingly. Mr. LONG, however, the unsuccessful Liberal candidate at the last election, in the course of his speech did not forget to de- nounce Mr. O'CONNELL'S conduct, in his itinerating tour to preach down the House of Lords, as being both absurd and treasonable. Mr. LONG said—" However good an advocate Mr. O'Connell may be for Ireland, I rather wish he would abstain from offering us some of his plans for alterations in England. His plan for altering the House of Peers strikes me as being one of the most absurd and most unconstitutional pro- positions I ever heard. ( Hear.) I confess I am old fashioned enough— if you please, Tory enough— to believe that the English Constitution is something more than mere talk and twaddle ; and that as we have flourished hitherto, so we shall continue to flourish under the old Constitution of King,' Lords, aud Commons. Such a proposition as Mr. O'Connell's, therefore, which involves a total change of the House of Lords, I hold to be perfectly treasonable. I believe it to be absolutely necessary to preserve the independence of an hereditary House of Peers as a check upon the Commons, which might otherwise become despotic." Thus we perceive that the Radicals themselves, except perhaps the Liverpool and Birmingham Papists, are beginning to find out that O'CONNELL'S proceedings are, as we have always said they were, absurd and treasonable. Next to an indictment at the Old Bailey, we think a commission of lunacy would be the best proceeding to be taken in his affair. THE following is said to be, with what truth we do not pre- tend to say, the draft of General JACKSON'S private letter to the King of the FRENCH. It has an air of genuineness about it, but we cannot vouch for its authenticity :— " Vous voyez, mon vieux Coq, tous ce que j avois dire a' mes sujets les Yankeedoodles dans un joli considerable sacre particulier tarnation long et roide bittora ( stiffyarn), que je lie voulois arreter ( stand), plus de sottise, touchant cet chose que les Anglais appeler ^ mousse ( blunt).

A MOST important New Rule as to the Examination of Attorneys has been promulgated by the Judges, which bids fair to chasten and purify the branch of the legal profession to which those functionaries belong, and which has long needed some chastening hand. The Rule has but one fault— its operation is not retrospective. As it seems probable, from appearances, that after to- day we shall not have much space left for anything but politics, we avail ourselves of almost the last opportunity for the season, of giving our readers a sort of review general de omnibus rebus et quibusdam aliis, which, if they will take at our hands as it comes from them, without caring as to order or regularity, may perhaps be, if not altogether entertaining, in some respects useful. The lightest objects float on the surface, and we therefore begin with certain novels and romances, of which we have several times promised brief reviews, and have as often, from circumstances, been compelled to postpone them. First, we have to notice Rienzi— but our first notice comes so long after the work has been much read, that it will be but of little use to those whose wont it is to take us as a guide for their reading. That Mr. BULWER is— whatever he maynot be— the first novelist of the day, we suppose nobody will deny: there are force and depth in his writings which have no equals, and we rejoice to feel and know that his political position neither is, nor ever will be, of sufficient importance to interfere with his literary pursuits. He will continue to toil without a " rival near the throne" for Messrs. SAUNDERS and OTLEY, and reap laurels from his works of fiction, which have placed him where he is before the novel- reading public; but such is the perverseness even of that public, that Rienzi — which contains in some parts some of the most splendid writing of his powerful pen— is less liked, and has been less noticed, than most of his previous works. His " Last Days of Pompeii" was perhaps his triumph— it was a lofty subject, loftily and classically approached. But for ourselves, we confess there are parts of Rienzi— we would instance the scene with the Cardinal— richer in power and effect than anything we have read since the death of SCOTI himself. My Aunt Pontypool has been so often over and over again recom- mended to notice, that perhaps a word about her might be considered superfluous; and as for Agnes de Mandsfeldt, Mr. GRATTAN'S name, as a novelist, is a sufficient passport to all the drawing- rooms and boudoirs in the empire. The periodicals of the month— now grown into a crowd— really deserve particular attention; and we are quite sure that if it were permitted to our grandfathers to get out of their graves— which to some particularly splendid persons would be a particularly disagree- able thing— their surprise at the change which periodical literature has undergone, since they have been slumbering in their " private boxes," would be sufficiently great to send them back again as fast as old bones could carry them. King Quarterly gives us a splendid number. The review of ROEDERER'S book is in its best style. Sir JOHN WALSH'S admirable Chapters of Contemporary History affords an opportunity for another capital article; and the absurdities of the Provisional Government of 1830, as detailed by M. HIFPOLYTE BONNELLIER, are the best pos- sible illustrations of the system of Revolutions in general, and most assuredly of that Revolution in particular. A sharp and entertaining review of the Original would have been more generally effective, but that the author of the work reviewed, the amiable Mr. WALKER, the- Police Magistrate ( as we last week announced), died at Brussels 3. few days since. The review could not be stopped or cancelled, and so no fault there, whatever the misfortune. This event, melancholy as it is, reminds us of a circumstance which occurred some years since at one of the pleasantest houses in the world— not pleasant so much from situation as from the hospitality, good taste, and kindness of its host and hostess. One evening there- was to be, amongst a thousand other attractions, a grand concert, at which all the leading public performers were to assist. Thehost know- ing so well how to put everybody at his ease, and make himself and everything round him agreeable, invited the professional stars to dine with him previously to the performance. They came, and Signor and Signora did their best in the way of eating and drinking, and then the party dispersed to dress and prepare for the concert. WOELFEL, at that time a great composer, a great performer, and, animalljf. speaking, a great man, was to direct; but while dressing he fell int » a dreadful fit, from which it was supposed by the medical men who. were called in, quite impossible to recover him. The master of the house was in an agony of distress when this was announced to him, and he expressed to the leader ofthe band hi » doubts and apprehensions as to what he ought to do. Carriages were driving np and setting down; ladies were thronging the splendid hall, and dandies were flirting with beauties on the elegant stair- case. Still the kind heart of the host was pained as to the unex- pected fall of this giant ( for WOELFEL was nigh upon seven feet high,, and struck three octaves with his extended hand, the gloves for which looked like two pair and a half of leathern pataloons), and he sug- gested the postponement of the concert. " Postpone," said the leader—( now dead too)—" no, Sare, no; if Mr. WOELFEL die, lock up de door of his room, don't tell de ladies; say nothing about, him— but oh, let de music go on." So the Quarterly— which, in justice, we ought to say could not possibly avoid it— gives us the article about our lost friend WALKER, " locks the door, and lets the music go on." We wish Blackwood would bestir himself. Nobody admires his talent, his principles, more than we ; but we must repeat what we have often said painfully to ourselves, that the articles which appear in his pages are too long. Why does not he pay by the job rather than the yard. One or two of this month's papers are much below his ordinary standard; two or three are admirable. More of such,, and shorter, smarter, sharper, would do wonders. Blackwood has a. name, and a weight, and an influence— this is the time to exert them ; let him not mince and be mealy- mouthed— let him take example by the Dublin University Magazine, which comes out with plain truths, strongly put. " Fanny Fairfield" is extremely pretty ; " The Huguenot Captain" extremely clever ; but we do not look for such things in Blackwood. Nowthe/) « S& » University Magazine gives us facts— matters which the late never- to- be- lamented Mr. WILKINSON: called " thumping plumpers." We will just borrow a bit as to " Kil- mainham Hospital;" wonld we had room for the whole article :— " About two years ago," says the Dublin, " an attempt was- made by Lord GREY'S Government to suppress the institution of the Royal Hospital; a considerable sensation was excited in Ire- land, and in Dublin especially, when the intentions of Government were made public: a petition" was presented to Parliament depre- cating the annihilation of one of these much cherished institutions. Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN, the Master of the Hospital, exerted himself TO preserve it— the Minister was obliged to withdraw his Bill, and the- Irish were congratulated upon the Hospital's having been saved. " Nothing since then, until now, has occurred to awaken the anx- iety of the public ; but rumours, which have reached our ears, have led' us to inquire more deeply into the matter, and we hasten to warn our readers, that a great and honourable public possession is about to be appropriated, or swept away, in order that with it may sink into oblivion the evidences of abuse, which an inquiry into its condition would unfold ; and another tub be thrown, to pacify for a while the leviatliians of economy." The writer proceeds to give a clear and sucninct account of the establishment of the Hospital, and then goes on to show that every original intention of the foundation is perverted into jobbing of the grossest description— the establishment is broken up, and a- whole crowd of retainers of the Government are boarded and lodged on the ruins of the establishment, while the officers of the institution are permitted to let their residences, although the pensioners are discarded. This will, of course, be brought before Parliament, together with a detail of abuses beyond belief. Mr. O'CONNELL cannot stop this J and as we were, we believe, the first to call attention to this roguery, under the term of parsimony, we are much pleased to borrow from, the Dublin University Magazine so much to fortify our original opinion. The Law Magazine, which has now arrived at the character of a standard work, and which richly deserves the special distinction, has amongst many valuable articles, one lipon the tremendous pamphlet of Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, which has made Sir PEPYS Lord Chancellor, Lady CAMPBELL, Lord STRATHEDEN, and the late Lady OXFORD'S. body- surgeon, Lord LONGTAIL— which is worth reading by every man in the empire, lawyer or not. The writer, whoever he is, will, we suspect, not be sorry to find that his opinions upon the subject of the separation of the functions of the LORD CHANCELLOR agree com- pletely with those of Sir ROBERT PEEL, as expressed in the House of Commons on Thursday night. The United Service Journal is as usual full of interest, and mors than interest, of information: the more we see of this admirably- conducted work the more we find to admire in it. One article strikes us particularly, because there is a coincidence of circumstances connected with it, which, unless we were perfectly sure that nothing like neglect or inattention were intended towards a most distinguished, gallant, and by all Governments, Tory and Whig, ill- used officer, would look like something which we should be at a loss to designate, in the last number of King Quarterly. In a review of a life of Lord EXMOUTB, in that work of the last quarter, a passage is quoted as if verbatim from the book— but is not so— the passage in the book runs thus:— " ' Accounts received on the 3d of July, of the situation of affairs on the coast of Provence, determined Lord EXMOUTH, in concert with Sir HUDSON LOWE, to embark 3,000 men, part of the garrison of Genoa, & c., with which he sailed direct for Marseilles.' " The sole difference between the passage in the Quarterly Reviern and that of the work from which it is quoted, is in the omission of the name o/ Sir HUDSON LOWE, who was united with Lord EXMOUTH in the whole of this operation, who fairly divided its responsibility, and who shared in all such honours as followed upon it." It appears that Mr. MURRAY, upon hearing of this omission, stated that it should be rectified in the next number; it has not been rectified ; but whether it has or not, the United Service Journal has, by official documents, shown that Sir HUDSON LOWE commanded the expedition in question, in concert with Lord EXMQUTH; that Lord EXMOUTH; had nothing to do with theoriginalityof the design, which originated ia Downing- street; and that Sir HVDSONLOWE gave up one of the moe$ 570 JOHN BULL. enviable positions, that of Quarter- Master- General in the Low Coun- tries, to accept the command of the expedition, to be employed in a conjunct, operation with Lord EXMOUTH, for which he had been spe- cially selected on account of his local knowledge, experience, and in- formation. After this service closed, Lord EXMOUTH writes to the Right Hon. J. W. CROKER, then Secretary of the Admiralty :— " i cannot close my letter without expressing, in the strongest terms, the high satisfaction and pleasure ] have experienced in serving with Major General Sir H UDSON LOWE, from whose active intelli- gent mind the service has derived every advantage." Lord EXMOUTH afterwards writes to Sir HUDSON LOWE :— " I have charged Sir THOMAS READE with this farewell, and good • wishes for your health and prosperity, and I do assure you none of your friends are more earnest or sincere in their good wishes. You have, my dear Sir H UDSON, my entire esteem and regard; and I am sensible, had opportunity been offered us for more brilliant service, that we should have woven our confidence into the most perfect and lasting friendship." And then comes, as the United Service Journal says, a testimonial which puts the seal to their proceedings— for which proceedings at length we have not room, but which redound the highest honour and credit npon Sir HUDSON LOWE:— " War Department, London, 24th July, 1815. " Sir,— I have had the honour to receive your dispatches of the 4th and llth instant; and I feel much pleasure in making known to you the gracious approbation which his Royal Highness the Prince Regent has been pleased to bestow upon the activity and judgment you have displayed in proceeding immediately to Marseilles, and occupying that important city. " X am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, ( Signed) " BATHURST. " Major- General Sir Hudson Lowe." And yet the Quarterly Reviewer omits the name of Sir HUDSON LOWE from the printed extract from Mr. OSLER'S Life, and does not, after Mr. MURRAY'S promise, take any notice in the present number — good as it is— of the omission. The United Service Journal has admitted a most absurd letter, signed CHEMICUS, on the snbject of RYAN'S patent for prevention of dry- rot. We had no idea that so consummate an ass could have obtained the ear— considering the length of his own— of the gallant editor of that work. Let him talk to Professor FARADAY, or to the crews of the ships which have been built with the timber submitted to the process; no illness— no sickness— no smell of bilge water are to be found there— we refer to the Samuel Enderby— so may CHE- MICUS; andhis objections willrender himCOMICUS. A dirty under- ling of a public office, or a distressed ship- carpenter, may write such trash; but we hope that the United Service Journal is open to a fair and philosophical defence of a system which promises the greatest national benefit, in opposition to a worthy who dates from St. Bar- tholomew's, but who in all probability lives in St. Luke's. The British Magazine, as usual, is full of valuable and instructive matter. Not having space for any extracts of an important nature, we merely borrow a piece of information from its " Events of the Month," which, however coarse and homely in its language, is, we think, splendidly illustrative of the piety and sincerity of the Liberals in Church and State:— Mr. WILLIAM HOWITT, the author of a book on Priestcraft, and several other works, has been chosen an alderman of Nottingham, and has ventured to bolt the declaration. The following sophistical defence of his so doing appears in a Nottingham Radical Journal:— " Mr. Howitt stated to a meeting of the electors last week his in tention to subscribe to it ( the declaration) at once, and occasioned a good deal of merriment by his mode of demonstrating his view of it. He declared, that had it been an unqualified and unconditional decla- ration, no motive whatever should have induced him to accept it; but as it was strictly and avowedly official, the words " by virtue of your office' confining its operation to the council- room, and leaving him as perfectly at liberty as before to act against the Church in his private capacity, he should not only take it, but should strictly and literally act upon it. If this Church was to be thrust upon every honest * man when he entered into office, like some old woman that had lived so riotously as to have disabled her legs with gout, and must have sup- porters, why, in office, he would even tolerate her presence. _ He would not say a word about her in the council- chamber ; no, if he were asked a question about her, he would not answer it: he would say, " Oh no! we never mention her, Her name is never heard !"— But the moment he got out of doors, then he would thunder against her with all his might. In the council- room he would not hurt; iW poor old beldame ; he would not suffer her to be hurt; but the mo- ment he got out, he would catch her in the landing- place, pitch her down, and break her neck, if possible. This was his mode of reason- ing. It required no compromise of any principle; nobody, he believed, would suspect him of a desire to prop the Establishment; it only required him to close his mouth on one subject in one room, and that only till the law was altered, and left him all the world beside to act on it." We should think this " mental reservation" of the author of a book upon priestcraft, would delight even O'CONNELL himself. The New Monthly Magazine is still adorned by the pen of CAMP- BELL, and various other writers, and, we believe is amongst the leading periodicals. The Metropolitan we never get hold of, by some accident, till towards the end of the month, and then it is too late to talk of it; however, its gallant Editor's name is quite enough for that, and so let it go before the world, as we believe it does, most deservedly. Fraser is, as usual, good— but it fails in its information; when it proceeds to details, it jumbles persons as companions who by no acci- dent meet, and makes intimate friends of two gentlemen who know nothing of each other, to the utter amazement of two others who do. Its wit is pungent; its jokes are sometimes obscure, merely for the trick of talking of people known to itself, who are unknown to everybody else, and in affecting to be extremely learned as to facts about which it evidently knows nothing. In its higher flights it is Drilliant and powerful; when it descends to minor details, the effect of these flights is damaged. We see our favourite Gallery of Science, in Adelaide- street, at the corner of the Lowther Arcade ( the combination of names would of itself please a Conservative) has published— not the Gallery, hut the Corporation, which it is— a work called the Magazine of Popular Science. We can conceive nothing more agreeable, nothing more popular. Dr. ARNOT, one of the most charming writers of the day upon science— we believe he is a Radical, but never mind, the more Radi- cal in science, the deeper— has in his first volume and part of his second, on " Physics," given us one of the most agreeable books ever produced; he has, owing probably to other professional en- gagements, long delayed the completion of the work, and now, as it seems to us, he is in a certain degree forestalled. Everything is in a name— and where science is to be approached, surrounded by walls, and bastions, and batteries, and all the rest of it, the timid besieger, having himself no artillery capable of making a breach, shrinks from the assault. Dr. ARNOT did, what TIPPOO did byway of bravado— but which the Doctor did by way of kindness- threw down a whole portion of his walls, in order to permit the enemy to look at his preparations— and certainly the concession was very agreeable. This, we believe, the Doctor meant to follow up by fa- miliarising the awfully- to- be- approached subjects of astronomy and electricity. In the Magazine before us, astronomy is familiarised, and so are other matters, which we think will render the book as popular as the Exhibition at the Gallery avowedly is already. The beautiful graphic works continue. Our favourite Switzerland draws to its close. Entomology is finished, as well and as cor- rectly as it began. The Memorials of Oxford, valuable indeed to every Oxonian, draw to the close; but Mr. WINKLE'S Cathedrals, beautiful as they have been, have branched out in a new direction, and promise to give us Foreign Cathedrals as well as English ones: the " Views of Amiens" are beautiful. Of the progress of the Encyclopedia Britannica, by Professor NAPIER, we need say nothing— the slightest inspection will prove its superiority over all previous editions. We have received a translation of Freyssinous's Defence of Chris- tianity, translated by Mr. J ONES, and an Epitome of Niebuhr's His- tory of Rome by Mr. Twiss, of which we hope to speak in our next. We cannot conclude this omnium gatherum without expressing our unqualified approbation— we may say admiration, of the twenty- third number of FINDEN'S Landscape Illustrations of the Bible, and our pleasure to find that the same artist and the same spirited pub- lisher— we mean the Emperor of Publishers, MURRAY— has in progress a new set of portrait and landscape illustrations of Lord BYRON'S Life and Works. For onr own parts, we think Lord BYRON is very much like Mr. O'CONNELL, and that a great deal too much fuss is made about both of them; with a strong suspicion at the bot- tom of all that, that if it were not for the continued excitement kept up, both the dead and the living would sleep very quietly. However, there are numbers of people who think differently, and therefore Emperor JOHN is perfectly right to give them their BYRON in the most beautiful shape. Of one thing we think we are quite sure— that when O'CONNELL is hanged, drawn, and quartered ( which, if he never is, he deserves to be), he will neither be hung in Mr. MURRAY'S back drawing- room, nor drawn by Mr. FINDEN, however he may be quartered by Mr. LOCKHART. RUGBY. This school is— and it ought to be, if all accounts be true— more constantly before the public eye than any other public school, or school affecting to be a public school, in the kingdom. Three weeks since we extracted from the Northampton Herald the history of a transaction which had taken place within its walls, and, as it is there stated, with the implied approbation of the well- known Dr. ARNOLD, its master, to which we have seldom heard a parallel. The publicity which we have given to the affair has excited a great deal of interest amongst those who, equally anxious for the personal safety of their sons as for the preservation of their moral and religious principles, are desirous to have an authentic and official explanation of the circumstances from Dr. ARNOLD himself. From many letters which we have received upon the sub- ject we select two— one addressed to ourselves, and the other to the Trustees of the school. These we submit, most cordially joining in the call made upon those gentlemen for a strict and impartial investigation into the whole proceeding. TO JOHN BULL. Mr. Editor,— In a journal to which I am disposed to give credit for general accuracy, and always for intentional veracity, 1 this week read a paragraph in which I would fain believe there is some ( un- designedly) erroneous statement. I allude to the article headed " Rugby" in your paper of the 17th inst., wherein is narrated a transaction, copied from the Northampton Herald, in which Dr. ARNOLD is a principal, and in my judgment a most discreditable performer. There is usually in the dispositions of young people a certain nobleness and generosity of feeling which forbid them to be partici- pators in any act that " can by possibility be stigmatised with the name of meanness or cowardice ; but what other designation can be given to the conduct of three youths setting upon a fourth, each, probably, from being a praepostor, older and stronger than their victim, pummelling his head against a wall, and subsequently two of them holding him whilst the third beat him with a " knotted black thorn stick of unusual size." If this be true, surely some public expression of indignation is loudly called for, and these young gen- tlemen ought to be openly stigmatised, and to be informed that their unmanly conduct will be execrated from one end of the kingdom to the other. Every parent who has a son in the number of praepostors is interested in having the names of these delinquents published that his son may not unmeritedly bear a portion of disgraceattaching exclu- sively to another. Were I a parent so circumstanced I would insist upon Dr. ARNOLD— nor would I be deterred by any high- sounding language he might use— I would insist upon his giving me a list of his praepos- tors, and upon his exculpating my son ( supposing him not to be a guilty one), which list and consequent exculpation I would make public without comment. But if such has been the conduct of the scholar, what shall we say to that of the master who gives every countenance to such a proceed- ing— for presiding over an extensive seminary, as Dr. ARNOLD does, I insist that his refusal to inquire into the merits of the case is a virtual encouragement of the conduct complained of. Dr. ARNOLD will not deny that it is his duty to protect as far as he is able from any mischief that may befall them, all the pupils placed under his care. What then must be the feelings and apprehensions of the parents of all the boys at Rugby, when they shall learn that in disregard of every sentiment whichshouldhaveaetuated Dr. ARNOLD as a man, as a gentleman, as the head of a numerous establishment for education— in rejection of the fair and acknowledged principle of " audi alteram pa- tem," he is capable, on the representation of one, and that an interested party ( his pnepostors), of shutting the door against any counter- statement the injured party may have to make, and to order him, a boy of 14 or 15, to quit the school and the town, and to make the best ofhis way to his parents ; and this, at six o'clock in the evening in November; and, not content with the injury he had done the son, to that injury he added insult to the father, in ordering him to leave his house when he ventured to enter upon the case of his son. It seems too, that something of a similar nature had taken place with a Mr. SMITH, relative to somt? ill treatment that his son had met with from a pra; postor. But it may here been asked, why are these praepostors allowed to carry and use such formidable weapons as canes with leaden heads ? Surely, this matter will not be allowed to sleep here. The Trustees of Rugby School, high- principled and noble- minded men, will so far con- sider themselves the guardians of the boys, as not to suffer to continue ill the presidency of such an establishment, a man, who has exhibited himself in so unamiable and highly- reprehensible a position.— I remain, Sir, your obedient humble servant, January < m. A CONSTANT READER. TO THE TRUSTEES OF RUGBY SCHOOL. Gentlemen,— It was with great pain I read a statement in the John Bull of January 17, respecting the treatment of two boys of the name of Marshall bv the pra? postors of Rugby School, for offences committed in school hours. It is true only one side of the question is at present before the public ; but, making every allowance for irritated feelings, and knowing that the statements of school- boys, when they have a point to carry, ought to be received with great caution, even the most prejudiced mind must acknowledge that there is something decidedly wrong in the discipline of the establishment. Can it be possible, Gentlemen, that the prajpostors are allowed to carry canes loaded with lead,* and to use them at their discretion during the hours allotted to the preparation of lessons for the masters; for that appears to have been the time when this untoward circum- stance took place ? Are the sons of gentlemen to be subjected to an arbitrary and degrading punishment which cannot be inflicted on the private soldier or sailor; and that from those who have merely the shadow of a delegated authority? The establishment of prse- postors in a school is very necessary to enforce discipline when masters cannot be present; but their duties ought to be strictly defined and limited, so as at no time to be made a pretext for caprice * I suspect some exaggeration here. February 28, or tyranny. But enough of this: I need not tell you that it is your duty, as I am sure it will be your inclination, to sift this disgraceful charge to the bottom. There is, however, a still more serious complaint against the system now prevailing at Rugby. I mean the unwarrantable increase of the expenses of the establishment, which totally excludes those for whose benefit it was intended by the munificence of the founder. 1 cannot express my astonishment, when I was informed lately that a boy could not be placed there, especially from any distance, for less than 1301. a year. Shortly after I met with a young man who had just left the school, and on my asking the reason of this, he informed me that it was intended to induce the nobility to send their sons !! Gentlemen, I wonder you do not dream that the professional weapon of the old Merchant Tailor, LAWRENCE SHERIFF, is busy with your ears ; or that Dr. JAMES'S —" canonized bones, hearst in earth, Have burst their cearments:" for the efforts of that great and good man were invariably directed not to increase, but to diminish the expenses. He felt that the intention of the founder was, not to make Rugby the resort of pampered Patrician boys, but to benefit the country around— that country gentlemen of moderate incomes in the neighbourhood, and clergymen might give their children a liberal education at a reason- able expense. He wished it to be, and while he was master it was, " Locus Gneca comitate ac provincial parsimonia mixtus ac bene compositus." f But let us see whether this new svstem has had the desired effect. Are there now more noblemen at ftugby than there were forty- five years ago ? I could euumerate at least fourteen who were there at that period, many of whom are deservedly respected for their talents and have filled ' distinguished offices in Church and State. Can Rugby, in the long course of vears which have since elapsed, show such a list ? I answer fearlessly, no : therefore the increase of terms has not produced an equal increase of nobility, or even respect- ability. If the vanity of the master prompts him to make Rugby a select seminary for exquisites and exchisives, 1 foresee, and I shall rejoice at his disappointment. It will still be accounted, in the words which an ingenious novelist puts into the mouth of his spoilt boy, " too blackguard," and so let it remain in the opinion of the VIVIAN GREYS of the age. Let them " libel it with all things but their praise." Bat if the intentions of the founder are to be respected ( and it is your sacred dulj to respect them), the expenses must be reduced one- half; and this may easily be done without depriving those dependent on the school of their fair and legitimate profits. If weak silly parents wish their children to have exclusive indulgences, let them. go elsewhere for them; but do not tax those who act upon sounder principles, who do not think it necessary tbeir^ children should contract early habits of expense, or partake of luxuries which may not hereafter be within their reach. Why, let me ask, is the Rugby Lad now to be more petted than the LYTTLETONS, the GREYS, the HILLS, the BAGOTS, cum multis aliis— the nobility of a former generation ? This crying evil is not however of recent date. It began when you, in the plenitude of your wisdom rejected Drs. BUTLER and T. SLEATH, and sent your wits a Wool- gathering. I am far by this expression from meaning any disrespect to the memory of, 1 believe, a very worthy man and a good scholar ; but he, unfortunately, did not duly estimate the situation he was called upon to fill— he had not the tact to propitiate the genius of the place— he wished to transplant the flowers of Winchester to the more austere climate of Rugby. The consequence was, a sickly forced vegetation for a few years, and then came. " A frost, a killing frost, " And nipt its root;" and he retired broken- hearted from the mastership; loaded with obloquy, not merited by him ( for I believe he acted conscientiously), but by those who placed him there. By this injudicious appointment you disregarded the statutes of Rugby, which if I am not misinformed, direct, " that in case a person educated at the school offers himself as a candidate, he shall caeteris paribus, have the preference." Your late choice does not, I conceiv e, confer more honour on your discernment than your former one. Of the literary acquirements and versatility of talents of the pres ent master no one can have a doubt; whether they are such as will enable him to fulfil the duties of his station with credit to himself nd advantage to his pupils, may admit a question. It is no recommenda- tion to a master of a public school that, he inundates the . press with sermons, tracts, letters, tfec., " de omnibus rebus et quibusdam aliis." Such productions may be be very useful ad captandum valgus, or to bring into notice a professor in the self- styled London University : but the BARNARDS, the SUMNERS, the FOSTERS, the HUNTINGFORDS, took a different view of the duties they had to fulfil. _ They conceived that every moment of their liyes— every energy of their minds ought to be devoted to one sole object. They never " travelled out of the record:'' nor is there, I believe, a book to be found written by any schoolmaster of eminence for more than a century, which is not strictly professional. They sought their reward, not in the applause bestowed on publications relatingjto the passing events of the day, but in the genius, the acquirements and the sucaess of their pupils. They held it beneath their dignity to become political partisans: and I do not believe, Gentlemen, that, though Whiggism may have been the fashion ol the day, you will feel any great pleasure in discovering, that your sons are become radicals in politics, or latitudinarians in religion.— I have the honour to be, & c., RUGBiEUS VARVICENSIS. WITH reference to our observations elsewhere on the per- fect tranquillity of Ireland, upon which our precious Ministers so agreeably congratulate themselves, we beg leave to submit a few details of facts which have occurred in that peaceable country during the last few days :— On Saturday night last, about seven or eight o'clock, as Mr. AMOS ( who is steward to Lord FORBES) was returning from Castleforbes, to the village of Newtonforbes, he was met by two men, one of whom presented a pistol at his breast, but missed fire; the other man fired, and wounded Mr. AMOS in the back. No reason can be assigned for this outrage, unless that of Mr. AMOS being a Scotchman, a nda Pro- testant, and a faithful servant to his employer. About three weeks ago, a gentleman named HALFPENNY, of Clo- nellan, was robbed ofhis arms. About the same time the house of JOHN ELLIS, Esq., of Clonellan, near Newtownforbes, was robbed of his double- barrelled gun, in the open day, during his absence at Drumlish Church. Since that time an industrious Protestant, named MORRISON, who resides near Longford, was deprived ofhis fire- arms; and a party of armed men entered the house of Lord FORBES'S wood- ranger, near Castleforbes, in search of arms. The house of JOHN SHOULDICE, on the lands of Castle Otway, was fired into, and a notice left for him to quit.— SHOULDICE is a Pro- testant. The house of Mr. MORONEY, of Castle Otway, was also fired into, all his windows broken, and a notice left with him to quit the country. Mr. MORONEY has been a resident on these lands for twenty- one years, but he is, alas! a Protestant. The cow- house of Mr. HODGENS, on the same lands, was burned to the ground, and a notice left with him to give up his farm. He has also the misfortune of being a Protestant. Informations of the above have been sworn at Nenagh, and notices served upon the churchwardens. At Sedgmore, an inoffensive man, named WALSH, died on Wed- nesday niglit last, from the effects of a heating he received a short time since, from a party of six men who broke into his house, and used him hi a savage manner. These monsters in human shape also beat WALSH'S wife, and tore a baby from her breast, which they threw outside the door, on a dunghill!! ! The night after this act of barbarity, WALSH with his- wife and child sought, and received pro- tection in the dwelling- house of a neighbour, where they had not been more than a day or two when a Rockite notice was posted on the door, ordering the possessor to turn out WALSH ; and not give him protection till he. gave up an acre of ground and a cabin, which it ap- pears, were the causenf all his persecutions, that have now ended with his death. . On Wednesday evening last, as a tenant of WM. BARKER S Esq., was on his way home from Ballyponty, to Kilcobly, he was waylaid by a party of ruffians, who beat him in a most savage manner, so as to endanger his life. On Sunday a respectable farmer, named DUNLEA, was murdered at Ballyhoole by four assassins. DUNLEA stopped to take some refreshment at a public house belonging to a man named GRADDY, and immediately on leaving he was pounced, upon by, these four savages who no doubt had dogged him, for the purpose. His body presented a shocking spectacle, not a feature was left unmarred nor a bone unfractured— even his back bone was smashed across by blows from the murderous weapons used in his destruction— in fact his remains presented a picture of as brutal barbarity as any cannibal tribe could f Tacitus de vu/ 1 Agricohe .— The whole passage is completely applicable. February 28 JOHN BULL. 569 furnish. And this is the country that is represented as becoming quiet and civilised under Lord MULGRAVE'S Administration! One of the four concerned in this savage murder has been apprehended and lodged in Fermoy bridewell, and informations returned against the other three. Saturday night last, some ruffians, as yet unknown, affected an en- trance into the Church of Kircully, Cork, by breaking the hinges of the window- shutters, and then taking out the frames, and when in- side, they smashed, it is supposed with stones, ninteen panes of glass. This little church is situated on the road to Whitechurch, and the Rev. air. DUNCOMBE, the Incumbent of the parish, was so fearful of creating any commotion amongst the peasantry, that he did not re- ceive, much less exact, one shilling tithes from any one of the Roman Catholic parishioners for the last two years. A very few nights since the extensive out- offices, three superior horses, nine highly bred horned cattle, the carriage, harness, saddles and bridles, dec., the property of Captain M'NJTMAHA, at Letter fine, county Leitrim, brother of the Member for Clare, were totally de- stroyed by incendiaries, who kindled a conflagration, which soon rased the whole to the ground. A woman of the name of MARY MULIOWNEY, on her return to Iverk, in the county of Kilkenny, from a funeral at Tramore, was strangled by four men, by their tying a handkerchief round her neck. The occurrence took place on Thursday night, near Drumcannon church- yard. The fellows had previously abused the poor woman; and they are at present unknown. On the evening of the 21st, about ifive o'clock, two men, armed with a blunderbuss and a case of pistols, entered the house of FRANCIS BURKE, of Fishenogue, parish of Droin, steward to R. M. CARDEN, Esq., and searched it closely for arms, but did not succeed in obtaining any. On last Sunday evening, five armed men came to the house of JOHN WHITE, of Ballydineen, parish of Clonoulty, for the purpose of robbing it of fire- arms. WHITE, however, was pre- pared, and fired on them, with what effect is not known ; upon which they, after firing four shots in return, retreated. On Monday night last, the house of Mr. DALTON'S herdsman, at Ballygriffin, was at- tacked by an armed party, whom they warned to quit and give up herding, and after firing three shots decamped. On Tuesday last, about the hour of four o'clock, the carriage of the Rev. RICHARD MAULEVERER, Rector of Tipperary, was stopped a short distance from that town, by two armed men, one of whom seized the reins, the other presented a gun at Mr. MAUI. EVERER'S breast, and demanded his purse, which Mr. MAULEVERER ( who was accompanied by his two daughters) immediately gave up: they then demanded his watch, a valuable one, worth 30 guineas, which was also surrendered. They then decamped with their booty. Shortly after, on the same road, the carnage of MOORE, Esq., in which the Misses MOORE were, was also stopped by the same band of robbers, who, after getting a purse containing some silver, demanded a watch and other valuables, which were immediately given up to them. Three armed men, not in the least disguised, stopped Mr. BOLTON, agent to Lord STANLEY, between Tipperary and his Lordship's house, and robbed him of thirteen shillings, being all the money he had about him; they searched him for his pocket- Dook, but providentially he left it at home. On Mon- day last, between the hours of one and two o'clock, as two men were going to lodge informations before SAMUEL COOPER, Esq., J. P., in the neighbourhood of Casliel, against some persons for a rescue of cattle seized under a decree, they were attacked by three ruffians, with their faces besmeared with dirt, who beat them in such a dread- ful manner that one poor fellow lies dangerously ill in Cashel. On Sunday night last, or early on Monday morning, a party of fellows attacked two houses belonging to men named WALSHE and GREEN, in the neighbourhood of Kilcash, townland of Killenery. Monday evening five armed men, three of whom had their faces blackened, appeared on the lands of Knockvelagh, parish of Solihead, and commenced stopping up a water- course belonging to three bro- thers named QUINLAN. On hearing what was going forward, one of the QUINLANS, accompanied by a labouring man, hurried to the spot, and were immediately fired on by those fellows; the shots not taking effect, QUINLAN and his companion escaped by a speedy retreat.— The QUINLANS prosecuted a man named RYAN ( who was trans- ported for seven years) at the last Clonmel quarter sessions, for a grievous assault committed on one of them at Cappaghwhite fair, which is supposed to have been the cause of the above outrage, two of the principals in which have been arrested and identified. On Thursday last, about the hour of twelve o'clock in the day, three armedmen, without being disguised, entered the house of Mr. DANIEL FALKNER, agent and caretaker of Mr. GOING, of Ballyphilip, and took therefrom a gun and a brace of pistols, together with 151. in Bank- notes. The daring act was committed within less than a quarter of a mile of the Killea police station, and immediately behind the residence of Captain BUTLER, of Park, a Magistrate of the county. There was a brother of Mr. FALKNER'S killed some time since in the barony of Sliveardagh. On Friday night'last the house of a man named EDMONO RYAN, of Poulacopple, in the neighbourhood of Mullinahone, was attacked and entered by five men, three of whom were armed ; after diligently searching the house, they succeeded in finding a gun, which they took away with them. They told RYAN if he made the slightest resistance they would blow his brains out. Two men named GREENE, father and son, on their return home on Monday night, were met near Killenaule by two persons, who de- manded if their name was GREENE? The old man said it was, that he would never deny it— when one of his interrogators immediately lifted a large stick to strike old GREENE, but before the blow de- scended he was shot dead by the son. The deceased has been since recognized as a man name'd DALTON, belonging to that neighbour- hood. The GREENES were concerned ill the prosecution of a grievous assault at, the last Assizes, which it is rumoured was the cause of this fatal affair. Constable BURKE, of the Raheen station, a few days ago, arrested six men, charged with putting CORNELI US and PAT. CAHILL on their knees, and swearing themnot to remove a tenant, or if they did they should be visited with the same death as the SHEAS family. The Baronies of Up- per and Lower Ormond have become so much disturbed, that it is a matter of wonderment, if a day or night should pass without a mur- der, robbery, incendiarism, or some other crime being committed. In fact, we'have been thinking, for the future, to name the night or day in each week ( if any), that parses without a breach of the peace, and an offence against the laws of our country. Our Tipperary correspondent, says the Clonmel Herald, whose authenticity is incontrovertible, assures us that su. ch is the terror amongst the gentry of that neighbourhood, in consequence of the late highway robberies and other outrages that " scarcely a country gentleman comes into town on his car without a double barrelled gun resting on his knee!!" We donot consider thatthe above assertion stands in need of a corroboration, but, for the satisfaction of our sceptical friends of the actual state of this county, we can aver to them, that being a week or ten days since in Tipperary and its vicinage, we were witness to the fact. Our correspondent also states that " many are obliged to have an escort of police." A numerous and respectable meeting of the Magistrates ofTipperary, was held on Monday last at our County Court- House, for the pur- pose of nominating 100 additional police " for the protection of the dis- turbed parts of this county. The enlisting and training of this neces- sary force were left to th'e direction of Major MILLER. It appears that Government have refused to extend to the disturbed baronies in this county, the benefits that would otherwise arise from the applica- tion of the Coercion Act; waiting, as they say, to try the efficacy of this addition to the civil power, and whether the next monthly return of crime and outrage will be decreased. In Dublin itself Whiteboyism is in the ascendant, and daily- increasing under the nose of the Government itself. Arran- quay division is the principal focus where it at present exhi bits itself. The following occurrences speak for themselves:— On Monday se'nnight ariotous mob, consisting of upwards of one hundred persons, all armed with bludgeons, spokes of wheels, crowbars, and other deadly weapons, proceeded to the house of a publican, named REILLY, in Smithfield, about lialf- past eight o'clock in the evening. As they passed along through the streets they endeavoured to hide their faces with their coats, as also the weapons which they carried. Tlieir object in going there was to beat REILLY for not consenting to join an illegal society, or, in their own more significant terms, " to join a bit of friendship going on among the people." REILLV was sitting, with a friend, in his bar, when the cries and shouts of this infuriated rabble first saluted his ears. They shutthe door, and endeavoured to keep it shut, but it was broken in and destroyed with the blud- geons. REILLY contrived to escape with his life up stairs before they got in ; and, being disappointed in their victim, they pro- ceeded to beat the man who was with him, HUGH BAIRD, most inhumanly— they knocked him down repeatedly, struck and beat him while down, the great body of the ruffians all this time shouting and crying out for REILLY, to beat him, and to pull down the house. They proceeded to break the windows, | and commit other outrages, and would have gone to search the house for REILLY but for the intervention of a man who seemed to act as their leader. He was a tall, well- dressed, well- looking man, and, remonstrating with them, he told them they had done enough. He also prevented them committing further violence, or what is more probable, from mur- dering BAIRO, who was lying on the floor, to use his own words, " blinded with the blood which flowed from the wounds on his head and face." Having so far glutted their vengeance, they retired in a body, exulting through the streets, and then commence'd an attack upon the watchmen. The first was JOHN O'KEFFE— they beat him and took his pole from him. The principal in this work, a man named M'CORMACK, has been arrested ; he was armed with a crow- bar, or instrument with a large iron knob on each end of it; a watchman, named BROWN- LOW, had his head cut, another, called WARD, was found by a party ot the patrol lying on the ground, and two ruffians beating him— one of them was armed with the staff of a watchman's pike. Peace- officer HAMILTON, also received a severe blow from a fellow named CUMMINS, who is also in custody. We could fill three columns with reports of similar proceed- ings, had we sufficient space to spare ; as it is, we shall con- clude this catalogue of evidence to the wisdom and truth of the Irish Government, with two cases of a more important and threatening character than mere murder and robbery. There was a great assemblage of peasantry yesterday near Auna- cotty, where they compelled a man employe'd in serving Exchequer notices to fly for his life, for had he not galloped off in post- haste, a minute's hesitation most probably would have cost him his life. The night before the surrounding country was illuminated by fires, and shots were fired frequently during the night, to intimidate the Clergy- man, the Rev. Mr. CRAMPTON, from seeking his tithes. On Friday last about one thousand men assembled on the lands of Spa Hill, in the barony of St. Mullins, in this county, all armed with bludgeons, sticks, and other missiles. They were all organised, and in the face of the local authorities appeared'to go through the various processes of drilling, inarching and countermarching, until about three o'clock, when the main body dispersed, after placing the loyal inhabitants of that part of the country in fear and terror of their lives ; for we believe since the year 1798, when the rebels met to dis- cuss state affairs, and to organise their lorces, preparatory to joining the insurgents at Vinegar hill, such a meeting was not held in the county. In the evening about one hundred of the party marched rank and file through the village of Killedmond, which is'inhabited by a few Protestants, the tenants of Lord DOWNS, and, after booting and groaning opposite each other, the ruffians proceeded to the house of a Protestant Clergyman, a man of the most humane and charitable disposition towards his neighbours of every persuasion, and saluted him in a similar manner. This, we assert, is truly a sign of the times, and a proof that the crisis is fast approaching when the pea- santry will " be up and doing," in conformity with the advice of O'CONNELL. A few months have only elapsed since the Government issued a circular, and deprived the loyal yeomanry of that district of their arms. How long is the murderous misrule of a weak and wicked Government to be endured ? The True Sun states " that Gen. EVANS will not return to England, and give up the command of the British, as he is determined to remain in Spain until the contest is finally settled. He has, there- fore, sent home his resignation as Member of Parliament for West- minster, which has been placed in the hands of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who will move for a new writ for the city of Westminster on the openingjof Parliament on Thursday next."— There can be no doubt of Sir THOMAS COCHRANE'S return.

EXETER, Feb. 1.— The Lord Bishop of this diocese returned last I week from Livermead, near Torquay, where he has been residing some time for the benefit of his health, which, we are happy to state, is much improved by the sea breezes of that delightful watering- place. His Lordship preached yesterday evening at tne parish church of St. Mary Major, in this city, and left the Palace this morning for London to attend his parliamentary duties. The Rev. JOHN LONSDALE has been elected, by a large majority, to the Preachership of Lincoln's Inn. The Metropolitan subscription for the Irish Clergy amounts to nearly 95,0001. _ A gratifying instance of attachment between a Clergyman and his parishioners, has this week been exemplified, in the presentation of a handsome piece of plate, by the latter, to the Rev. A. BASSETT, on his relinquishing the Curacy of Erlestoke, after a zealous aud faithful discharge of his duties for a period of more than20 years. At a meeting of the Clergy of Limerick, held in the Chapter- room, of the Cathedral on Saturday last, it was unanimously resolved that addresses should be presented to his Majesty and both Houses of Parliament against any further interference by the Legislature with the property of the Church, Will be published in a few day.*, handsomely printed in 18ino. bound, gilt edges, price 4s.; or with the Standing Orders of both Houses, price 6s., THE PARLIAMENTARY GUIDE, corrected to February ,1> 1836.

Printed on a verv larce Sheet, to hang upon the wall, Is. 6d.; on stout pasteboard, 2s. ; or folded in a neat case for the pocket, 2s. 6d., Third Edition, ^ MALL'S VETERINARY TABLET; being a concise Account of the Diseases of Horses, Cattle, and Dogs, with their Cause, Symptoms, and Cure ; to which are added numerous valuable Recipes. *** The very flattering reception which this work has met with from the public and the press, is the best proof the Publisher can give of its " meriting," as he originally announced, " the attention of all Proprietors of Domestic Animals." " This is a work of great utility, not only on account of the matter which it contains, but from the manner in which that is conveyed. It is a sheet pasted upon linen, which folds up into a book, so as to appear as a volume ; so that my person may, at one view, discover not only the disease, but the cause, the symp- toms, and the cure. It has been suggested that it would have been preferable had the author placed symptoms in horses and cure of horses, & c. in juxta- posit ion, so that symptoms and cure in cattle and in dogs would also have come together. On second consideration, however, it is, perhaps, better as it is, as a person eagerly looking for symptoms or for cure, naturally turns to the part o the sheet where all the symptoms or all the cures are to be found. We have examined the work, and on those diseases with which we are acquainted, the author's de- scriptions and remedies are altogether unexception- ible. The lower part of the sheet, where are placed the rules for knowing a horse's age— rowels and setons— firing and blistering— poultices— fomentations— medicine how administered to dogs, is particularly interesting, either to persons who have horses, dogs, or cattle, or to the profession themselves."— Tyne Mercury.

There was much heaviness in the Consol Market at the earlv part ofthe week, and Consols for the Account were as low as 90 V, but subsequently rallied to ill 14, closing at the latter price at the termi- nation of business to- day; Exchequer Bills are flat, and 18 to 20 is the premium, and India Bonds are at 3 to 5 pm.— The failure of an old established and much respected mercantile firm has been made known to- day, and has been the subject of great regret. The business done in the Foreign Market has been to some extent. At the close of business this afternoon the price of Spanish Stock was ; but these Bonds have been as low as during the week— the intelligence of Senhor Mendizabal having been com- pelled to dissolve the Chamber having caused no little alarm among the holders. The transactions in the Portuguese Bonds have not been atfa- nded by anv material reduction in price. The Five per Cents, left off' at 833^; and the Three per Cents. 52%. In Chilian Stock there is a disposition upwards, and the price is 50 to 51; Columbian Bonds are at 32H ; and Mexican at 37M. In Northern Stock there is a tendency upwards ; the Dutch Five per Cents, are at 103V; Russian Bonds are at 109% 110; Belgian at 102V. The speculation in the Share Market has considerably exceeded that ofthe other Markets. Since our last the Calcutta and Saugur Shares have been issued, and have attracted considerable interest; the premium is M to 1. This is the undertaking alluded to in terms of approval as likely to obviate the necessity of the dangerous navi- gation of the Hooghly, in the House of Commons on Thursday. There has also been some inquiry for the Deptford Pier Shares, which are at a % pm.; and the Preston and Wyre continue gradually on the advance, having now reached 5 pm.; Gravesend Shares are also steady at pm.; Dover are pm.; the London and Birmingham Shares are 111 per Share; and the Great Western 24V per Share.

The chief and most im- portant witness examined on Wednesday was Fieschi's mistress, • Kina Lassave. She is only 19 years of age, and has but one eye. H er evidence, coupled with that of Fieschi's, is conclusive against Morey ; and the more so, as she has not had any opportunity of seeing her former lover, and concerting ' the nature of her evidence with him. That Fieschi, Morey, and Pepin, will be condemned to death seems to be now pretty certain, notwithstanding all the pains taken by M. Dupont, the counsel, to protect Morey. Fieschi asserts that Morey liad loaded the barrels of the infernal machine in such a manner as to insure the explosion of some of them,_ and thereby occasion the ideath of the person who set fire to the train. This may account for Jhis eagerness to procure the man's conviction. HOUSE OF COMMONS— SATURDAY. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 1 o'clock. There was but a thin attendance of Members. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that that portion of his Majesty's Speech which related to the supplies be read, which was accordingly done. The Right Hon. Gentleman then gave notice that • oti Monday next he should move that the House resolve itself into aCommittee of Supply. Mr. C. BULLER gave notice that on an early day he should move for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the present state of the law relating to libels. ( Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL appeared at the bar, and informed the House that his Majesty had appointed two o'clock for receiving the Address in answer to the Royal Speech.— The Speaker, accompanied by the Members present, then left the House, aud proceeded in state to St. James's Palace.— The House then adjourned untU i| ouday.— There was not a single Member on the Opposition benches.' Friday morning, when the Duke of Wellington had entered a shop In Regent- street, for the transaction of business, a large concourse of persons congregated on the outside, who, when his Grace came out, and got upon his horse, which was in waiting with a groom, saluted him with loud and long- continued cheers, which continued till he was out of sight. The compliment was acknowledged by the Noble Duke, who appeared iu excellent health and spirits. TheConscrvatives are daily increasing in the borough of Finsbnry, and if there were a dissolution of Parliament there would be a com- plete change in the representation. There is not only a split amoni the Radicals in Marvlebone, but the little influence which tlifey hai has diminished considerably since the last election. We announce with regret the death of the Hon. Sir Thomas Pakenham, G. C. B., Admiral of the Red, which event took place at • his seat in Ireland, on Tuesday last. The_ deceased Admiral was son of Thomas Lord Longford by Lady Elizabeth, who was made a • Countess after his death. He was one of the most distinguished officers of the British navy, a man remarkable for talent, prompt decision, courage, and judgment. 11 was stated in the Aiice- Chancellor's Court yesterday morning, that Mr. Bell, the eminent Chancery barrister, and intimate friend of • Lord Eldon, died on Friday night at his residence in Bedford- square. Friday's Gazette contains an Order in Councilanda Proclamation, annulling the royal Proclamation of March 19, 1831, directing that distribution should be made of the net proceeds of prizes captured • from the enemy, of captures and seizures under the several acts passed Telating to the revenues of Customs, and to trade and navigation, for the abolition of the slave trade, and for the captures and destruction of piratical vessels, an<% of th'e rewards conferred for the same, accord- ing to a scheme set forth, and authorising a fresh provision for such proceeds or rewards.
