Gentlemen, THE lamented death of our late Representative, Mr. HALL DARE, having been last night announced in the House of Commons,— and a new Writ moved for,— the short time which will intervene before the election of his successor, will preclude the possibility of my personally waiting upon each Elector, which I should have wished to have done, in announcing my- self a Candidate for the vacant place in the Representation. In coming forward as a Candidate for the Representation of the Southern Divi- sion of Essex, it is but right that I should state the principles on which, if elected, I shall endeavour to act. Anxious to secure the rights and liberties of every individual in the Empire, whatever difference may exist in Religious principles or situation in life, I declare my most ardent attachment to our Con- stitution in Church and State; and would ever, to my utmost, maintain the Independence of King,- Lords, and Commons ; being convinced that upon this, especially, our national greatness and liberties depend,— that to this, under Heaven, we owe the grandeur which we have attained in the scale of nations ; and that, without it, we should have no security for the real Liberties of the People, or the continued peaceful enjoyment of their Political and Civil Rights. With a deep reliance tnat the principles I advocate accord with those of the great body of the Electors of Essex, I snail take the earliest opportunity of meet- ing them, and more fully stating my opinions. With the earnest hope that I may have the high honour of serving you as one of your Representatives in the House of Commons, I am, Gentlemen, your most obedient, humble servant, Nazing, 21st May, 1836. _____ GEORGE PALMER.^ OXFORD and CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY CLUB.— The ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the CLUB will be held at the CLUB- HOUSE, on WEDNESDAY, the 25th of May instant, at One o'clock precisely.

AST OF THE TRIBUNES.— Mr. Bulwer has traced the bold events of the extraordinary career of the Tribune Rienzi, in language the most powerful and animating. The characters, especially the females Rina and Irene, are drawn with admirable skill. We have represented to us the stern inflexibility of Rienzi, the reckless bearing of Walter de Montreal— the unfading devotion of Nina, and the fond love of the gentle Irene. He has described with a vigorous and well sustained graphic power the Roman nobles, with their fends, their tyranny, and their contemptible feebleness ; the brutal licentiousness of Martino di Porto, the animal ferocity of Orsini, and the polished, but heartless sarcasm of Luca di Savelli. In the whole range of ancient or modern history it is not ea'sy to discover a snbject emb « acing nobler materials; it is one which has called forth the highest exercise of Mr. Bulwer's powers. The contents of Mr. Stevenson's improved edition of his familiar little work on Cataract, announced in another part of our impression of to- day, will be found most valuable and consolatory to every description of persons experiencing a dimness, or greater imperfection in their sight. INKLINGS OF ADVENTURE, BY Mr. N. P. WILLIS.— There is a charm in the style of this writer not unlike that of his talented countryman, Washington Irving. Mr. Willis describes his scenes and adventures, in a most graphic and pleasing manner; his sketches of American character in particular are in perfect keeping with his subject, and distinguished by his unrivalled talent for observation. The Cherokee's Threat, The Gipsy of Sardis, and The Revenge of Signor Basil, are papers that will rivet the attention of the reader. THE PUBLISHING BUSINESS.— We are authorised and requested to state, that there is no truth whatever in the report that Mr. • Colburn has retired from business, or intends to do so. The report in question appears to have originated in the circumstance of Mr. Colbnrn's having relinquished his business in Burlington- street to Mr. Bentley, on the expiration of the previous partnership between them, and of his having devoted himself solely, since that period ( when he removed to Great Marlborough- street), to the reprinting his stock works, and the conduct of his various periodicals. His arrangement with Mr. Bentley, however, far from being to the effect of a retirement from business, only precluded him from publishing new works in London, Edinburgh, or within 20 miles, thereof; but, out of these limits, the right of publishing such new works remains to Mr. Colburn as fully and freely as before. In conformity with this right, Mr. Colburn has just opened a new and extensive publishing establishment at Windsor— a spot which affords peculiar advantage for an undertaking of this nature— and where he will be attended, we doubt not, by the good wishes of all who know how to value the effects of enterprise and liberality in the business of literature. THE BRITISH NAVY.— We are glad to observe that Capt. Brenton, one of the oldest and most distinguished officers in the service, is about to publish an enlarged and improved edition of his Naval Memoirs in monthly numbers. It has been the misfortune of the navy that its history has generally been written by men who, how- ever qualified by classical education, have wanted those indispensable requisites which can only be acquired by professional habits, local knowledge, and constant attention. Hence it has arisen that many important events connected with the navy have been improperly stated, and consequently have proved uninstructive to the rising generation, whose improvement should ever be regarded by the istorian as the great object of his labours. Indeed, the interest and importance of a naval history to this empire are incalculable, nor is any time more favourable for reviewing the past and preparing for the future than a period of profound peace. Capt. Brenton, who is about to renew his claims on the public attention, first entered the naval service with the late Admiral Cornwallis in the year 1789, and ended his career at the time of Napoleon's surrender on board the Bellerophon in 1815. During this entire period he had been in the habit of taking notes of every public event which came nnder his observation ; and, as the vast field of naval history lay unoccupied by any professional author, he determined to execute the task, the magnitude of which has occupied him for many years. This im- portant work will be comprised in ten monthly parts at 3s. 6d. each, and will be embellished with numerous finely- executed portraits and other plates. PARLIAMENTARY ANALYSIS. Mrs. Alfred Shaw, whose talents as a vocalist have already secured her a high reputation, announces her concert for the 24th mst., and judging from her programme, and the lists of artists engaged ( which comprises the names of Madame Malibran, Madame Caradori, Ivanoff and Rubini), it is but reasonable to conclude that it will be among the most successful of the season.— Mr. Bochsa, it will be seen, announces his concert to take place on the stage of the King's Theatre; and amongst other similar entertainments, we notice those in preparation by Mrs. Bishop, Signor Begrez, Signor De Beriot, Mr. Parry, jun., Mr. Holmes, and Messrs. Berrettoni and J. Bennett, all of whom, from their high- standing in the profession, and the talent at their command, will no doubt receive the encouragement of the patrons and lovers of music. The new grand opera in rehearsal at Drury Lane, prepared by the composer of the Siege of Roehelle for Madame Malibran, was ex- pected to be brought out on Monday, . but, owing to the run of La Sonnambula and Beethoven's Fidelio, it is postponed till Friday. The caste includes the elite of the corps operatique of the theatre, and Malibran. it is said, has expressed herself much pleased with the part of the heroine. Mr. Power had his benefit at Covent Garden on Monday, when a new three act comedy, written by that gentleman, was produced, nnder the title of Etiquette, or a Wife for a Blunder, the merit of which is comprised in the Irish joke and fun introduced, and which without the acting of the author would not be considered as more than ordinarily felicitous. Through a succession of blunders in management, instigated by the most friendly zeal, Captain Dennis O'More ( Mr. Power) contrives to produce as many awkward situa- tions as could be possibly crammed into one drama. The friend he wishes to serve is cruelly used by his officious desire to confer upon him a benefit, and whenever he attempts a master stroke of policy he is convicted of a blunder. The piece was received with much applause. A new drama, of which report speaks highly, is to be produced at the Haymarket Theatre on Tuesday. It is from the pen of Mr. Poole, the author of Paul Pry, and entitled Atonement, or the God- daughter. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY The Marquess of LANDSDOWNE said, as he saw the Noble Lord ( Lyndhurst) in his place, and as one of the most important Orders of the Day was the re- commitment of the Bill still designated " A Bill for the Regulation of Municipal Corporations in Ireland," he would, in the absence of his Noble Friend, beg to ask if the Noble and Learned Lord intended to move the advancement of the Bill further? — Lord LYNDHURST said that it was the duty of the Noble Marquess himself to move the re- commitment of the Bill; and if he did so move, he ( Lord Lyndhurst) would be prepared to move certain amendments.— The" House after a short conversation, went into Committee. A few verbal amendments were agreed to; and Lord LYNDHURST intimated that on the bringing up of the report he would introduce a clause, giving Recorders to Belfast and Limerick.— The Duke of RICHMOND gave notice that on the third reading he would move that Recorders should not bes eligible to sit in Parliament.— The House resumed; the report was ordered to be brought upon Tuesday, and the third reading was fixed for Wednesday. The report on the Pluralities Bill was brought up by fiis Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and their Lordships then adjourned. TUESDAY. On the motion of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY the Pluralities of Benefices Bill was read a third time and passed. Several private Bills were advanced a stage. The Earl of WINCHILSUA presented a petition from Mr. Leigh, who had been appointed High Sheriff of Wexford, and whose nomi- nation was subsequently cancelled, under the pretence that he was an Orangeman. A debate of some length ensned, in which several acts of Lord Mulgrave's government were canvassed. The Noble Lord declared ( in answer to the charge of exercising patronage to favour the Catholic party) that in appointments to and promotions in the constabulary force for Armagh more Protestants than Catho- lics had been named or advanced. In regard to this individual case, he very much regretted that Mr. Leigh should feel himself hurt by what had taken place. It had never been his intention to act un- justly towards him. He had proceeded alone from the belief that the information conveyed to him placed beyond all doubt the fact that Mr. Leigh was an Orangemen. He would now, through the Noble Earl, express to Mr. Leigh his regret— for he supposed he was bound to aidopt the allegation in the petition— that he had been misinformed on the subject. The report of the Municipal Corporations ( Ireland) Bill was pre- sented and agreed to.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY. The Marquess of LANSDOWNE moved the third reading of the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill.— The Duke of RICHMOND moved as an amendment to omit schedule A, and insert " Belfast."— Lord LYND- HURST pointed out that it was wholly inconsistent with the Bill, and if adopted would make it necessary to reinsert 30 or 40 clauses, and alter many others.— The Marquess of LANSDOWNE defended it as keeping alive the corporate principle, at least, in the large towns.— The amendment was negatived by 141 to 82; majority against it, 59. — The Marquess of CLANRICARDE then proposed an amendment to prevent Recorders from being eligible to hold seats in Parliament, disclaiming, however, any personal object as regarded the present Recorder of Dublin ( Mr. Shaw).— Lord LYXDHURST submitted that if it were deemed right to propose to make such an exception it ought to be brought forward as a separate measure, so that it could be considered in its several stages, instead of being thus incidentally mooted.— The amendment was negatived, and the Bill then passed with an amended title.— Adjourned. THURSDAY. The Royal assent was given by commission to the Registration of Aliens Bill, the Stafford Borough Disfranchisement Bill, the Writers of the Signet (" Scotland) Bill, the Family Endowment Society Bill, the British Alkali Company Bill, the Westminster Hospital Bill, the Glasgow Courts Bill, the Great Western Railway Bill, the London and Birmingham Railway Bill, and other Railway Bills, the Teignmouth Dock Bill, the Forth and Clyde Navigation Bill, the Nottingham Cemetery Bill, and Hodges' Divorce Bill. Lord STRANGFORD inquired whether any alteration would be pro- posed this Session in the timber duties?— Lord GLENELG answered m the negative; but, in an answer to another question, said that the subject of the admeasurement of deals, & c., was under consideration. Their Lordships then adjourned. FRIDAY. The Royal Assent was given by Commission to the Irish Consta- bulary Bill, the Bankruptcy ( Irish) Amendment Bill, Division of Counties Bill, and several private Bills. The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Shaftesbury, and Lord Glenelg. The private Bills on the table were advanced a stage ; after which, on the motion of the Marquess of LANSDOWNE, their Lordships adjourned till May 30, arranging, however, for the sitting of some Committees, and the transaction of some judicial business on Saturday. The Radical Town Touncil of Bath have, most appropriately, constituted a portion of their body, " a Hot Water Committee ;" and the next notice on their books relates to the consideration of " a light summer dress for the new police." Mr. Mechi, the far- famed in- •—, , . ~ , , —.-- ventor of " razor and magic strops,-" is recommended as president of Bill, proposed to read it a second time now, and to take the discus- the Committee. gion on it at a future stage of the Bill,— Lord J. RUSSELL said that HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. Mr. MAXWELL brought up the report of the Committee on the city of Dublin election, declaring Messrs. West and Hamilton duly elected, instead of Mr. O'Connell and the late Mr. Ruthven. After a prolonged discussion, the Aberdeen Public Schools Bill was recommitted. The House having divided on a motion by Mr. BANNERMAN to that eftect, there appeared— for) the recommittal, 158 ; against it, 107. The first Order of the Day having been read, Mr. ROEBUCK rose to bring forward his promised motion for a Committee to inquire into the state of the executive and legislative Councils in Canada.— Sir G. GREY opposed the motion as unwise and inexpedient, pending the inquiries now going on by virtue of the Royal Commission; and after a short discussion the motion was withdrawn. The Bishoprick of Durham Bill having been read a third time and issed, the House went into Committee on the Ecclesiastical Leases bill, and the report was brought up. TUESDAY. Messrs. WEST and HAMILTON, the. sitting Members for the city of Dublin, took the oaths and their seats. The Hon. Members were loudly cheered from the Opposition benches. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that, on Tuesday after the recess, he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to remove the civil disabilities affecting the Jews. The further consideration of the report on the Newcastle and North Shields Railway Bill was proceeded with, after a division of 90 for the motion to 18 against it.— Several railway Bills were forwarded a stage, with a clause proposed by Mr. POTTER appended to each, to the effect that no railroad should be made across any public way without the written consent oftwo Justices. Considerable discussion ensued, on a motion by Mr. MORRISON, which ended in the Hon. Member obtaining leave lo bring in a Bill to provide for the periodica] revision by Parliament of the tolls on rail- roads. The old charges against certain landlords of the county of Carlow, and Col. BRUEN in particular, were then revived by Mr. WALLACE, who moved an address to his Majesty, for the appointment of a Com- mission to proceed to the county of Carlow, and there to make inquiry into the facts and circumstances set forth in the petitions of Mr. Vigors and others. The motion led to a long debate, but was opposed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER on the ground that the Commission could not effect all the objects con- templated by it. On a division, the numbers were— for the motion, 52; against it 122. Sir W. RAE mbved for an Address to the Throne, with a view to hasten the report of the Church Commissioners in Scotland.— An amendment was moved by Lord J. RUSSELL, that a letter from the Secretary of the Commissioners should be laid on the table. The Noble Lord gave a sort of promise that every exertion should be used to procure a report without any further delay; and, Sir W. RAE having withdrawn his motion, the amendment was agreed to. The remaining Orders of the Day were then in course of being disposed of, but on the motion of Lord COLE the House was counted, and there being only 31 Members present, an adjournment took place. WEDNESDAY. Several Bills were forwarded in their respective stages. The Over ( Cambridgeshire) Inclosure Bill was lost on a division. Mr. M? LEAN inquired whether there would be published any account of the proceedings of the steam- vessels that had been en- gaged, nnder Lord Hay, in the attack off St Sebastian, on the forces of Don Carlos, and of the killed and wounded?— Mr. C. WOOD answered that he was not exactly aware of what was the practice of the Admiralty in such case; but, as to the latter part of the inquiry, he could state that there was neither killed nor wounded. Sir A. AGNEW, having been requested to defer the Lord's Day such course could not be pursued, as there was objection to the prin- ciple of the Bill.— Sir A. AGNEW subsequently moved the second reading of his Bill.— Mr. WARD moved, as an amendment, that it be read a second time that day six months.— After some debate, in which a general feeling was expressed by the several Members who spoke that the measure was inadequate to the objects it had in view, a division took place— for the second reading, 43; against it, 75. The Bill was therefore lost. The House then went into Committee on the English Tithe Com- mutation Bill. Clauses 50 to 81 were agreed to ; after an amendment proposed by Mr. T. S. DUNCOMBE on clause 76, to the effect that tithes on fish and personal tithes should cease, had been negatived by 96 votes to 50.— In the course of the discussion Lord JOHN RUS- SELL intimated his willingness to bring in a Bill to abolish personal tithe, if such should be the pleasure of the House. The Lords' amendments on the Irish Constabulary Bill were then agreed to, and the House adjourned. THURSDAY. Messengers from the Lords brought back the Irish Municipal Corporations Bill, with the amendments agreed to by their Lordships.' Lord J. RUSSELL ( in answer to Mr. O'Brien's inquiry) moved that the Lords'amendments be printed, in order that the House might see the nature and bearings of the amendments previously to being required to decide upon them. He said it would be affectation not to declare that the alterations had changed the character of the Bill — that the present Bill destroyed, annihilated the Corporations in Ireland; and that, though he was ready to concede fair compromise, he must declare that nothing could lead him to be a participator in any measure that deprived Ireland of municipal governments.— Sir G. SINCLAIR said that the House of Lords had done itself infinite honour, and been pre- eminently useful, by the amendments it had made and the blunders in legislation that it had corrected— that it was confided in, and was the hope of the country, and that it would never lend itself to pass such a Bill as this was" before it3 amend- ment, or the Irish Church Spoliation Bill.— Mr. H UME said, if the Hon. Member spoke from authority, this was tantamount to the denial of justice to Ireland— that the collision between the two Houses had commenced, and that it could only lead to organic change in the House of Lords.— Sir J. GRAHAM submitted that if this were indeed their position, then was revolution threatened. He, for one, should resist organic change of the House of Lords, deeming it neither more nor less than revolution. He regretted that this ques- tion was raised, and that the calmness recommended was not prac- tised. As to the Bill, he must say that the concessions made to Ireland, instead of promoting content and diminishing demands, only increased discontent and multiplied claims ; and that he, there- fore, should take his stand against concessions that had only such calamitous results.— Lord CLEMENTS said that, as an Irishman, he would not silently hear any Member talk of " concessions." Ireland asked equal rights, equal justice.— After remarks from Mr. SHAW, Sir II. HARDINGE, & C., the amendments were ordered to be printed.— Adjourned. FRIDAY. Mr. O'CONNELL took the oaths and his seat for the city of Kilkenny, amid considerable cheering from the Ministerial benches. The motion that the Gravesend Pier Bill be read a second time called forth a good deal of discussion and resistance, and on a division the Bill was lost, the numbers being for the motion, 14; against it, 93.— A long conversation ensued on the subject of the SouthDnrham Railway Bill, which terminated in the second reading of the Bill.— The Westminster Small Debts Court Bill was also read a second time, after considerable discussion.— The Dublin Steam- packet Com- pany Bill was read a second time, and referred to a Select Committee. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from some electors of the city of Dublin, accusing the sitting Members of bribery at the last elec- tion.— Sir JAMES GRAHAM objected to the petition being received, as tending to the re- trial of a question already decided by a Committee of the House under the Grenville Act. The Right Hon. Baronet, after citing the case of the Monaghan election, in 1834, moved that the report of the Committee on the Dublin election be read.— Several other Members spoke on the point of form, and Sir J. GRAHAM ulti- mately acceded to the proposition for adjourning the debate on his motion to the 30th inst. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that on the 21st of June he would move for leave to bringina Bill for the reform of the House of Lords, and that on the 23d he would bring forward the case of the Baron de Bode. Mr. MACLEAN asked what instructions had boen sent to Lord John Hay ns to his interference with vessels trading to the Spanish provinces under the dominion of Don Carlos.— Lord PALMERSTON said the in- structions were in conformity with the Quadruple Treaty.— Mr. MACLEAN considered this as too vague, nnd repeated his question.— Lord PALMERSTON replied that the regulations adopted by Donna Christina were well known, and merchants therefore could be at no loss to understand them.— Mr. WYNN observed that the object was to ascertain not what the Queen of Spain, but what the King of England intended.— Lord PALMERSTON was silent, and Mr. MACLEAN then gave notice that, after the recess, he would move for a copy of the instructions sent to Lord John Hay. The Stamp Duties Bill went through Committee. On a motion for going into Committee on the Registration of Voters Bill, Mr. WARBURTON moved an instruction to the Committee for an improvement of the system of revision. After some debate the House went into Committee pro forma, with an understanding that the discussion should take place in a future stage of the Bill. Mr. GROVE PRICE gave notice that on the first motion for a Com- mittee of Supply, after the recess, he would move that the notice given by Mr, O'Connell, with reference to the House of Lords, be expunged from the notice- book, as inconsistent with the privileges of Parliament. The remaining business was then gone through, and the House adjourned till the 30th inst. SUICIDE OF THE HON. BERKELEY CRAVEN.— The west end of the town and the sporting circles were thrown into the greatest conster- nation on Friday morning by a report that the Hon. Berkeley Craven had terminated his existence by shooting himself through the head with a pistol, at his residence, Connaught- terrace. It is stated that the deceased gentleman was a loser by the Derby Stakes to an enormous extent; some say as much as 30,0001. As soon as the re- sult of the race became known, he was observed by his friends to be excessively agitated, and in this state he left Epsom, and arrived at his residence, as above, the same night ( Thursday). He flung him- self on a sofa in the parlour in a state of mental distraction, and all attempts to solace him being in vain, the domestics were forced re- luctantly to leave him, and retired to bed at a late hour. About six o'clock on the following morning, one of the female servants came down stairs, and on entering the parlour a most appalling spectacle was presented to her view ; the body of her master was extended on the floor, deluged in blood, which had flowed from a frightful wound in the head; and near him lay a large duelling pistol, with which it was evident the deed had been perpetrated. A surgeon was imme- diately called in, but could render no assistance, the unfortunate gentleman having been dead some time. From an examination of the wound it appears that death mu.- t have been almost instanta- neous, but it is rather extraordinary that the report of the pistol was not heard by any of the inmates. He was in the 60th year of his age. This event, which has deprived the sporting world of one of its lead- ing characters, was, for some hours after the occurrence, kept pro- foundly secret, and it was not until nearly ten o'clock that the me- lancholy affair became known to the fashionable inhabitants or other persons in the immediate vicinity of the deceased's residence. At Tattersall's tlie news was received between 10 and 11 o'clock, » period at which a great number of gentlemen had assembled prior to their departure for the race- course, to witness the contest for the Oaks, and the effect which the intelligence had upon the meeting was that of the deepest surprise and regret. The usual half- yearly public examination of the officers and gen- tlemen cadets studying at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, took place on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the 17th, 18th, and 19th inst. On the first of these days the institution was ho- noured with a visit of inspection by his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange and Prince Alexander of the Netherlands, who were re- ceived with a royal salute of twenty- one guns from the flag- Stan re- doubt. At the close of the examinations the following officers were 5resented with first class certificates of qualification:— Lieutenant . G. H. Holmes, 82d Regiment; Lieut. F. Lushington, 9th ditto. In consequence of the very superior talents and acquirements dis- played by Lieutenant Lushington, in the highest branches of mathe- matical science, a special honorary addition was made to that officer's certificate. Seventeen gentlemen cadets who had completed their qualifications for commissions were recommended to the General Commanding- in- Chief for appointments to ensigncies in the line, without purchase, und about fifty other young gentlemen were de- clared to have made various steps towards qualifying themselves for commissions.

Oldridge's Balm causes whiskers and eyebrows to grow, prevents the hair from turning grey, and the first application makes it curl beautifully, frees it froin scurf, and stops it from falling off. Abundance of certificates from gentlemen of the first respectability in England are shown by the Proprietors, C. and A. Oldndge, 1, Wellington- street, Strand, where the Balm is sold.

Stamp included, with full directions lor its use, by their various agents in the metropolis, and throughout the United King- dom, but it cannot be genuine unless their names are engraved on the Govern- ment Stamp, which is fixed over the cork or stopper of each bottle. Of most of the venders of the Magnesia may be had, authenticated by a similar Stamp, HENRY'S AROMATIC SPIRIT of VINEGAR, the invention of Mr. Henry, and the only genuine preparation of that article. __ SELWAY'S PREPARED ESSENCE of SENNA.— The obvious and acknowledged utility of the Infusion Senna as a domestic Purgative renders any further recommendation unnecessary: at the same time it must be confessed, that considerable inconvenience attends the form in which it is usually prepared, and if not immediately used, is liable to undergo a chemical change, by which it not only loses its purgative quality, but acquires that of an opposite tendency, and is in consequence found to excite violent griping of the bowels.— In this preparation, the Senna is so combined, that the usual inconveni- ence is at once obviated, for it will be found to undergo no change whatever by keeping, and require no other preparation for immediate use than simple dilution with cold or warm water, or if preferred tea or coffee may be substituted. The increased use of Senna since the first introduction of the above induces the present Proprietor to make it more generally known.— Prepared only by Simlcin, late Selwav, Chemist to his Majestv, 2, New Cavendish- street, Portland- place. Sold by him, and by Sanger, 150, Oxford- street; Willoughby and Co., 61, Bishops- gate Without; Winstanley and Son, Poultry ; and all respectable Patent Medi- cine Venders, in bottles at Is. 9d., 3s. 6d., and 7s. each, and upwards. 1 ONDON, SHOREHAM, and BRIGHTON RAILWAY, Jl_ i WITHOUT A TUNNEL.— Office, 31, New Broad- street. The Counsel for the three proposed lines of Railway finished the summing up of the evidence on the engineering department on Wednesday last, and the Committee of the House of Commons will meet on the 31st inst., to decide upon their report, and the same will be made known on the 1st of June. The great advantages possessed by the proposed line, without a Tunnel ( ad- mitted by the Council for Sir John Rennie's line in his summing up, and neither denied nor questioned by the Counsel of Mr. Stephenson), lead the Provisional Committee of this undertaking to anticipate a favourable report on that ground alone, and without reference to the general superiority of the gradients, and district of the country proposed to be adopted by them. By order of the Provisional Committee. J. C. FOURDRINIER, Secretary. EONDON and PORTSMOUTH RAILWAY DIRECT, with a BRANCH to CHICHESTER, terminating in CAPACIOUS DOCKS. Capital, ^' 1,200,000, in 24,000 Shares of £ 50 each. Deposit, £ 2 per Share. The Provisional Committee are proceeding with the necessary arrangements con- nected with the Branch advertised to Chichester, and an active survey of the line is being prosecuted, for carrying into effect the original intention of this Company, for constructing the intended Railway between London and Portsmouth by the most direct and practicable line, as they have throughout acted under the convic- tion that any other more circuitous line must only entail on the passengers and transit of goods between those places additional cost of conveyance, in proportion to the extra length adopted, withoutany corresponding benefit being derived. The great interest evinced by all parties to secure this end renders it indispensable to delay the issuing of the Prospectus for a few days. Any information required may in the meantime be obtained at the Offices of the Company, 7, John- street, Adelphi, where applications for Shares, post paid, should be immediately forwarded. J. MILLER, Secretary. ALISBURY7 ROMSEY, and SOUTHAMPTON RAILWAY. Capital, ^" 300,000. Deposit, £ l per Share.

TO COH ft UiU'ONl) KNTS. fVe shall be glad to hear from D. O. Ditto, from " A Friend." JTQHM BULL. LONDON, MAY 22. THE KING came to town on Wednesday, and held a Levee, which was numerously attended. His MAJESTY after- wards held a Privy Council, and in the evening returned to Windsor. Their MAJESTIES are expected iii town to- morrow, where they will continue the remainder of the week. His MAJ ESTY'S next Levee will take place on the 27th instant, instead of the 25th. WE are too happy to announce a new triumph of the purity of election— Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL was returned on Tuesday for Kilkenny without opposition. The man had written a letter to SULLIVAN, the joint, which made way for him, declaring his intention of never seeking the suffrages of any other con- stituency than the " Boys of Kilkenny," so long as he re- mained in Parliament. The Kilkenny Moderator says, that an express, which was forwarded by special direction of Lord DUNCANNON to the Hanaper Office, arrived in time to be half an hour too late, the mail having left the office some twenty minutes before its arrival. The anxiety to get the return in London is easily accounted for, inasmuch as Mr. O'CONNELL, after the deci- sion of the Committee which ejected him, was by no means visible till Sunday, when he was seen by all the congregation, and his disowned son besides. The following address to the electors of Kilkenny, by a Captain BRERETON, adds rather to the absurdity ofthe farce of the election, because the gallant officer who proposes him- self to oppose O'CONNELL, proclaims himself not only a po- litical partisan, but a " blood relation." We give it as a suitable finale to the proceedings upon the occasion:— " To the Poll.— Come, ye men of Kilkenny, quickly, on behalf of Captain William Brereton, unattached, as a candidate for the ancient ana noble city of Kilkenny. ii As a Repealer, Reformer, corrector of every abuse, nn> tedvocate for the poor- laws and absentees, an out- and- out Radical, like Daniel O'Connell, Esq., who is a connexion of Captain Brereton, likewise the honour of being related to his Excellency the Earl of Mulgrave's brother, the Hon. Captain Phibbs, he having married the grand- daughter of the Bishop of Norwich, whose son is also married to Caroline Stuart, the daughter of Dowager Lady Sarah Castlestuart, mother of the Hon. Lady Castlestuart, in the county of Tyrone, a second co- heir daughter of Judge Lill, deceased, Captain Brereton's mother, Charlotte Brereton, being the eldest daughter, wife of the late Lieut.- Colonel William Brereton, of Chichester, Sussex, Eng- land, both deceased, leaving Captain Brereton heir- at- law, and the nearest of kin to the late Baron Lord Brereton, of Leighlin, in the county of Carlow, the first created title being the 11th of May, 16- 24, afterwards extinct, Francis, the fifth Lord, having died unmarried on the 22d of M arch, 1 " 22." We regret to say the Captain did not come to the poll. M. MENDIZABAL has resigned. His resignation has been accepted, and M. ISTURIZ is' to form the new Cabinet. IF Mr. WALLACE'S motion for a Royal Commission to in- vestigate on the spot, the allegations of the different peti- tions respecting the electoral condition of the county of Car- low— a county cursed with a VIGORS and RAPHAEL notoriety -— and the conduct of the landlords towards their tenantry who voted contrary to their orders: if this motion produced no effect, and was not agreed to, it was simply because Mr. WALLACE knew that such would be its fate. He must have been aware that the last thing his MAJESTY'S Ministers would at all sanction would be a proceeding which had a tendency calculated, not only to exculpate the Protestant gentry of that unhappy country, but to throw the odium and responsibility for all the miseries that have made havoc thereupon the right heads— the Popish priests! It could not be expected that Ministers would allow an exposure of their friends, aud therefore it must have been anticipated by Mr. WAL- LACE that Lord JOHN RUSSELL would not accede to his motion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Mr. SPRING RICE accordingly opposed it, and opposed it the more strongly, because Colonel BRUEN called upon them to do Aim jus- tice by agreeing to it! Well, then, the motion was made, and was negatived; and cut bono ? What good did Mr. WAL- LACE'S lament for the " widdies, and orphans, and ejaacted pisintry" do ? Nothing but expose the utterly contemptible animus of the whole proceeding, and also— and proud, indeed, are we to call attention to it— to call from Mr. F. BRUEN, M. P. for Carlow town, one of the most eloquent, stirring, and emphatic speeches that ever was uttered by a man— a gentle- man in spirit and conduct— indignant at being calumniated, feeling intensely for his agitation- degraded country, and im- ploring the Senate of the empire to do him and it real justice, by attacking the real delinquent. The instances of priestly intimidation, mentioned by Mr. F. BRUEN, are worthy the history of the Inquisition, yet, at the same time, correctly illustrative of the views and character of the priests of the unchangeable Church. These were the words of one of these cowled curse- flingers:—" I will visit the electors who vote for BRUEN and KAVANAGH in the mitigated penalties of pro- scription in this world, and eternal damnation in the next! " Horrible and blasphemous as this expression was, the effects, as far as this life is concerned, were not limited to mere ex- pression. One JAMES BUTLER promised to vote for BRUEN ; Father MAHER came with a crowd of followers to him, and said, " Mark this house! grass shall grow at his door; he says he will vote against his country." The poor tradesman was accordingly ruined, and with a wife and eleven children reduced to starvation! Hear another holy speech made at the very hustings:— " All who vote at this election, being Catholics, and shall vote for KAVANAGH and BRUEN, we will take our stand here daily in our capacity as Priests, and know the name of the man who shall vote against us. We will watch the recreant till he goes to his grave ! Yes ! upon the Catholic slave will we set our mark, who will vote against his God and his country."— What that mark was, need not be explained— the interpreters of Li death's- liead- and- cross- bones" hints needed no further instruction ! A third speech we will quote:—" Any person who sig- nified his intention of voting for KAVANAGH has ceased to be a member of his Church, and is delivered over to Satan : the people shall not drink or sleep with them— even then- wives shall abandon the apostates who shall vote, in the face of their God, for BRUEN and KAVANAGH !— And the curse of the Almighty will fall upon them in this world, while, with the mark of CAIN upon their brows, they shall go down to the grave for betraying their religion and their country !!!" Yet to these blasphemers have the Ministers of Protestant England, sold— aye, sold themselves for the sake of place aud patronage! We cannot resist extracting one or two spirit- stirring passages from Mr. F. BRUEN'S speech:—" Has the field of agitation, which lias borne so rich a harvest to an Honourable Gentle- man, never been watered by the tear of the orphau and the widow ? Has the well- ordered compact, first established in Carlow to defraud the Protestant Clergy of their lawful pro- perty— to dash the very food from their lips, to denounce them to a fanatic rabble, so that they are literally counted as sheep appointed to slaughter— has that compact never been cemented by the blood of parents and husbands ? " Alas ! hearts have brokeu, and fair forms have withered in this desolating position ; but, over the fate of the pious, the good, and the gentle, the arch- Agitator can drop no tears they are reserved for the fanatic and the rebel! We wish every Protestant of England would read the fol- lowing appeal : — " How long," said Mr. BRUEN, " how long will honour- able gentlemen opposite— English gentlemen— gentlemen of probity and honour, be deceived by the audacious fabrications circulated by the very people that are guilty ? How long will this House permit the atrocities which I have enumerated to be perpetrated, in order that a paramount influence may be gained, per fas ant nefas, uhich boldly steps forward in this House, to beard King, Lords, and Commons, to trample under foot the laws of the country, to dismember the empire, and drat captive after its chariot- wheels the executive Government of the country ?" How long ?—- As long as the wretched men who are Minis- ters can cling to the offices they disgrace, by allying them selves to one whom no principles of justice can control— no calls of honour guide— no inspirations of holy truth affect for a moment! With Mr. F. BRUEN'S fine and einpassioned conclusion, we also finish:— " Let this Commission, or any other fair and unbiassed inquiry go forth, and I tell the House that when the aggregate of human misery inflicted by selfish and sordid ambition on my unhappy countrv is accurately summed up— when the actors in these tragedies, be they who they may, must answer at I care not what bar, the bar of this House, the bar of the country— or at a more awful bar, when the cry of the widow and orphan can be no more the pretence of subterfuge or the fiction of party malevolence— I would rather take my stand among the gentry and landlords of the county of Clare, who have nobly stood forward in defence of the rights and liberties, the lives and properties, of their fellow countrymen, than endure the load of guilt that must then attach to the disturbers and agitators and incendiaries of the country ! " Nothing can add to or detract from the force of such language ; it is that of a man in the noblest sense of the word. After such a speech we must cease to wonder at the Ministers ordering their majority to negative the motion : they would not have dared to gran t it. THE more we hear of Colonel EVANS'S victory, the more convinced we are that it was no victory. Our gallant repre- sentative has not had even the merit of his great exemplar, TOM THUMB, inasmuch as he did not Make the giants first, before he killed them; or rather, we should say, he did not kill the giants after he had made them. Colonel EVANS has gained nothing by his ill- planned ex- ploit, which, if it had not been for the lucky arrival of his Britannic Majesty's ships, would have turned out most disas- trously. Whether CORDOVA has joined Don CARLOS or not, makes but little difference— unless England interferes, Don CARLOS will be upon his throne in three months, and the war be at an end ; and why should England interfere, since it is clear the Spanish nation desire to have their rightful KING to reign over them, with which desire, as our Ministers stand pledged to non- intervention, we cannot see why this country should take the trouble to meddle. To read the numerous paragraphs which have appeared in the newspapers during the week respecting Lord MEL- BOURNE'S health, one would suppose his Lordship's constitu- tion to be something like the shares of a railroad company, in a state of constant fluctuation, dependent upon events and contingencies. On Saturday he was dreadfully ill with influenza, and gout into the bargain, and Sir HENRY IIALFOIID was obliged to visit him half- a- dozen times, and nothing could be so bad as he was " all over." On Sunday his Lordship continued the same; and thence up to Friday the variations were slight and scarcely percep- tible, and he remained confined to liishouse, unable to attend Parliament, or the Cabinets, or anything else, until at last a gleam of hope burst forth that his Lordship might be able to get down to Brockett yesterday. Now, all this isno doubt perfectly true, but not less strange for that; because we have been informed by a most respect- able inhabitant of Oxendon- street, Haymarket, who, from seeing Lord MELBOURNE frequently in that neighbourhood, knows his Lordship perfectly well by sight, that he, as he was driving his wife and three daughters in his cruelty- van— a double- bodied four- wheeled chaise with one horse— along Park- lane last Sunday, saw the Noble Viscount leaning out of one of his back windows in South- street, whistling— psalms, of course— just as if he had neither gout, nor influenza, nor any other bodily ill to afflict him. Our correspondent admits the distance to have been consi- derable, but from particular circumstances he had no doubt upon his mind as to the fact— nor had any of his three daughters, to whose eyes his Lordship's person was equally familiar. ONE of the most insidious and invidious proceedings of our present Government, as regards the Establishment— if pro- ceeding that may be called, which is no proceeding at all— is the callous indifference to the welfare of the Church, and her rights, exhibited in the delay in filling up the vacant Bishop- ricks of DURHAM, CHICHESTER, LICHFIELD, and ELY. It is all vastly well to say that the Church Commissioners are considering this, and debating the other. What we want to know is, what the KING— by whose authority and permission this Commission has issued— feels with regard to the Church of which He is the head, when His MAJESTY finds the individuals in whose hands He has been pleased to place a tremendous power, leaving five important Sees vacant. The Church is deprived of five advocates in Parliament— the offices of confirmation aud ordination are suspended, and all the duties of each Diocese are at a stand. Is it to show to the Radicals and Atheists, that Bishops are useless, either in the House of Lords or out of it, that this delay is made ; or is it, that Lord MELBOURNE apprehends the distaste of the country to the projected elevations of his HAMPDENS, and ARNOLDS, and POWELLS, and the translations which are equally meritorious? WE last week inserted a letter from Mr. BADEN POWELL, Savillian Professor of Geometry at Oxford, of whom we have also spoken elsewhere to- day. We were willing to give the Professor every advantage of the assertions contained in that letter, unaided by any comments of our own. Having so done, we feel that we ought not to permit such language as Mr. POWELL uses to appear in Bull, without some observations upon its nature and tendency. The passage to which we allude is this—" As to one parti- cular point ( the Sabbath), allow me just to add, that my de- nial of that observance, as binding on Christians, is an un- fortunate point for OXONIENSIS to fix his censure upon." We thought Dr. WHATELY had gone far enough, but it seems that Mr. POWELL, according to his own assertion, goes far beyond him in loosening every obligation to keep the Sabbath- day holy. Dr. WHATELY denies that there is any divine authority to render that observance binding upon Chris- tians ; but Mr. POWELL denies in toto that that observance is binding at all. We are not going to enter into controversy; we shall merely state a few facts with a view to convince our readers that, however some men may avail themselves of this subject as a stalking- horse to bring them into notoriety, there is no good ground for unsettling men's principles, and questioning the divine authority to the more immediate service and worship of GOD. The history of the original of the Sabbath is to be found in the Book of Genesis, c. 11, v. 3. The observance of the Sabbath by the Patriarchs is implied in the mention of the several periods of seven days recorded to have been observed immediately before the flood, and afterwards by NOAH him- self while he was in the Ark. The divine institution of the Sabbath, as coeval with the completion of the works of crea- tion, is expressly referred to in the fourth Commandment. From these facts it is clear that the ordinance of the Sab- bath was no new command given for the first time to the Israelites in the wilderness, but, like all other precepts of the Decalogue, was of ancient date, aud merely re- enacted with more solemn sanction at the giving of the Law. The Ten Commandments are not like the precepts of the Jewish ceremonial law, but are distinguished from them in several particulars. They were written on two tables of stone — written, as it is said, with the finger of GOD ; and of them it is declared, that when the LORD delivered them to MOSES, " he added no more." The Jewish ceremonial, being typical, was done away with when those types were fulfilled; but the moral law, not being typical, is neither abrogated nor repealed, but still remains in full force. When our SAVIOUR was asked by a young man what he should do to inherit eternal life, He specified an observance of the Ten Commandments as one of the three things which would lead the inquirer to the attainment of that reward.—( St. Mark, c. x. v. xvii.) The Jew, the Mahometan, and the Christian, each keeps holy one day in seven. Although the Christian keeps his holy day on Sunday— the Jew, his, on Saturday, and the Mahometan his, on the Friday, they all agree that this obser- vance is continued in compliance with the divine command; and, therefore, although Dr. WHATELY may protest against it, it is clear that the term " seventh day," in the divine com- mand, does mean, in common acceptation, one day in seven. That Christians have the divine sanction for making the first day of the seven their weekly holy day, is evident from these facts— That the Apostles constantly observed the first day of the week as an holy day from the day ofthe Resurrection. That this observance was sanctioned by the appearance of our LORD amongst them on the two first occasions— That on the seventh return of their weekly holy day, a new attestation of the divine approval was manifested, which we commemorate this very day— That the Apostles after this, being now inspired for the conduct of the Christian Church, continued this observance ; and that, although there is no decree of the Church to be found for making the first day of the week the Christian holy day, it has been constantly observed as a day of rest, from the day of the Resurrection to the present time. The manner in which the term Sabbath came to be applied to the Christian holy day is as follows. We would just pre- mise that the word Sabbath was not used by the Jews ex- clusively to designate the seventh day of the week, hut, as it is constantly used in the Bible, to mean any day of holy con- vocation. The Christian holy day, or the first day of the week, was at first observed under the title of " The Lord's day:" the seventh day of the week still continued to be observed, especially by Jewish converts, as " the Sabbath ;" but in process of time ( since there was no divine command for keeping holy two days in every seven) the lesser holy day gave place to the greater— the observance of the Jewish Sab- bath fell into desuetude, and the first day of the week ( which had hitherto been distinguished as the Lord's day) acquired the title of the " Christian Sabbath." From these facts we arrive at the following conclusions:— 1st. That the consecration of one day in every seven to the more especial worship of the Almighty is a divine ordinance, coeval with the creation, and is binding on all who profess themselves believers. 2d. That the peculiar manner of the observance of this pre- cept, prescribed to the Jews in their ceremonial law, is pe- culiar to them, and is not binding upon Christians. 3d. That the observance of the first day in every seven, as the Christian Sabbath, or holy day, having received the especial sanction of the Almighty, and being derived to us from the Inspired Apostles, is of Divine Obligation. We do not entertain the slightest hope of convincing the Savillian Professor, or any of the School who carry a Pope about with them, to comfort them with the consciousness of their own infallibility ; but we do believe that all good Chris- tians will agree with us in thinking, that if Mr. BADEN POWELL were able to convince all mankind that the due observance of the Sabbath is not binding upon Christians, he could hardly enter upon any work better deserving the en- couragement and patronage of the DEVIL. EPSOM RACES have been— at least on the Derby- day— more numerously attended than they ever were. Two sin- gularities— if that may be— distinguished this meeting. There was no rain, and the favourites won. A melancholy event has been in public rumour, connected with the result of the Derby— with what truth we know not— we mean the suicide of the Hon. BERKELEY CRAVEN, of which a detail will be found in another part of our paper. There never, perhaps, lived a more popular man, nor one May 22. JOHN BULL: 165 more generally esteemed, nor one who will be more univer-. sally lamented. MR. O'CONNELL lias published a letter to the People of Eng- land, which, unless the man can be proved insane, would in any other days have been burned by the hands of the hang- man, even if that efficient functionary had kept his hands off the author. The nonsense and stupidity which characterises this appeal of tlie adventurer to a people who despise him, may make it innocuous; but we earnestly invite the attention of our readers to the eloquent and powerful speech of Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR in tlie House of Commons on Thursday, as pointing out the course which the Government ought to pursue, and to pursuing which, they will eventually be driven. As for the personal abuse which Mr. O'CONNELL lavishes upon Lord LYNDHURST, Lord FITZGERALD, and indeed upon every Peer who vindicates the Constitution of the country, the dastardly meanness of it renders it below contempt or notice. Indeed, we abstain from any notice of this last affair, assured that during tlie vacation, moved and carried by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, something must occur to terminate somehow the present unnatural and anomalous state of affairs. WE regret to hear the revival of a report which we had hoped to have been a calumny— or at least a mistake— that Earl SPENCER, the jolly fanner- like Lord ALTHORPE of other days, has been what is called reconciled to the Church of Rome— in other words, has turned Papist. The melancholy defection of his Lordship's brother from the Protestant Ministry was generally attributed rather to weak- ness of mind than any other cause. The same reason will, in all probability, be assigned for the present proceeding on the part of the Noble Earl. Lord BROUGHAM, we are told, is either at, or going to, Althorpe, on a visit. Between BROUGHAM and the POPE, we think his Lordship will be in a very agreeable position. SIR ANDREW AGNEW'S Bill, for what he calls the " Better Observance of the Sabbath," has been thrown out in the House of Commons. The remarks we have elsewhere made to- day, upon the observance of the holy day will, we think, exonerate us from any imputation of wishing to deprive it of its sacred character ; but we very much rejoice that Sir ANDREW'S Bill has been rejected, because we are perfectly sure that an attempt to enforce its provisions would— as Sir OSWALD MOSELY most justly showed— cause a rebellion; because we are equally sure, that if they could be enforced, they would be the most tyran- nical oppressions that ever were attempted to be inflicted upon Englishmen, and because we are equally sure, that legislating upon such matters, and descending to such minutiae, as were the objects of Sir ANDREW'S attention, would cast an air of absurdity and ridicule upon subjects which it is our duty as well as our interest to hold most sacred. THERE is an old saying, in which we once had faith, that " what's impossible can't be, and very seldom comes to pass." But, alas ! we have lived to see things come to pass which we once deemed impossible. Who, a few years ago, could have supposed itpossible that the late Lord BROUGHAM, then a leading demagogue, would ever be Lord Chancellor of England— who, that Mr. DENMAN could be turned into a Chief Justice— or that Mr. O'CONNELL would be the Whig leader of the House of Commons, then a respectable body of men. But these impossibilities having occurred, we think it now possible that some future Prime Minister— a friend, like Lord MELBOURNE, to the morals and religion of the country — may try to force Dr. ARNOLD into a Bishoprick. WTe are, therefore, in order to guard against this evil act, which would excite yet greater disturbance than that which has not yet subsided with respect to Dr. HAMPDEN, induced to make a quotation from the Doctor's article in the last Edinburgh. We do this, because we apprehend that few respectable per- sons ever read that journal of Radicalism and infidelity; although it is supported by the Rev. Dr. ARNOI^ P and his gang— we say his gang, because ( like master like man) one of the Under- Masters of Rugby School boasts that he is the author of the article in favour of Arianism in the present number, and Dr. ARNOLD rejoiced to discover— Weltering by his side, One next himself in power, next in crime. But though thus supported, we presume that of respectable persons the number is small of those who read the Edinburgh Review. We, therefore, record Dr. ARNOLD'S description ofhis brethren, the Clergy of England ( for though he speaks of them in the Review as only high Churchmen, yet in his pamphlet on Church Reform he applies nearly the same terms to all the Clergy, excepting always himself and sect), and this we do, to show that it ought to be impossible for him to expect what he so ardently longs for— a Bishoprick. Ye Christian parents who inconsiderately send your sons to Rugby School, hear the learned Master of that institution. In endeavouring to seek out for a resemblance of the Clergy, whom this political Parson for party purposes designates as high Churchmen, he tells us tlie only exact resemblance can be found " in the zealots of cir- cumcision and the ceremonies of the law, in the slanderers and persecutors of St. PAUL, the doters upon old wives' fables and endless genealogies, the men of soft words and fair speeches, of a voluntary humility all the time that they were calumniating and opposing the Gospel and its great Apostle: in the malignant fanatics who, to the number of more than forty, formed a con- spiracy to assassinate PAUL ! ! ! because he had denied the necessity of ceremonies to Salvation ; the men of mint, anise, . and cummin, who cared not for judgment, mercy, and truth ; the enemies and revilers of the holiest names which earth reverences, and who are condemned in the most emphatic language by that authority which all Christians acknowledge as divine."— Edinburgh Review, No. cxxvii. p. 236. Now, we ask whether, in all the annals of the worst times of Popery, any anathema can be found breathing a spirit of ma- levolence worse than this ? We ask whether, if we could search the records of Pandemonium, we could expect to find anything more truly diabolical ? The Preachers of the Gospel are compared to the betrayers and murderers of our SAVIOUR — to hypocrites, to assassins : the most awful curse, a curse by implication of the most tremendous nature, and to utter which would be almost blasphemy, is denounced against them, because they dare to think differently from the HILDEBRAND of Rugby. Let this sentence ever live to record the malice of tlie anti- malignant— the illiberally of the Liberal— the ana- thematizing spirit of him who brands as Popery all love of decency aiid order. But we have yet another word to say to Dr. ARNOLD. Where was it that he first began to broach these extreme opinions ? Would the Tory Trustees of Rugby School have elected such a man to the Mastership had he dared, when a pauper, to write in such a style as this ? They knew he was a Whig, but the illiberal Tories did not permit his being a moderate Whig to injure him, when they had ascertained his qualifications as a Master. And thus the smirking, smiling, good- natured TOM ARNOLD became D. D. and Head Master of Rugby School— and, this point gained, the anonymous scribbler of the Leeds newspaper became an avowed political Parson. Those who rememberToM ARNOLD as he was, the quiet, unassuming, mild, fawning, though fas- cinating companion, and see Dr. ARNOLD as he is, would be tempted to look out for a resemblance in some quarter dif- ferent from that profanely referred to by ARNOLD himself— and say: On the other side up rode in act more graceful and humane : A fairer spirit lost not the Church: he seemed For dignity composed and high exploit: But all was false and hollow ; though his tongue Dropped manna, and could make the worse appear The better reason, to perplex and dash Maturest counsels : for his thoughts were low; For fame industrious, but to nobler deeds Timorous and slothful: yet he pleased the ear. What we have alluded to in the case of Dr. ARNOLD, is the general conduct of his faction. They all take good care not to show the cloven foot, until they have made their footing sure. As another example of this kind of proceeding, we would refer to Professor POWELL, who favoured us with a letter which we published last week— that letter was evidently written ( under the pretence of answering OXONIENSIS) to let Lord MEL; BOURNE know that Mr. BADEN POWELL was heterodox. But it ought to be remembered that Mr. BADEN POWELL has never been celebrated for anything but for being a caricaturist. He obtained his Professorship through the interest of some of the brightest ornaments of the Church of England, who exerted their interest because he was reputed to be orthodox. And now he wishes to get a step higher by being considered heterodox. Has it never occurred to Dr. ARNOLD and Mr. POWELL, that now that they proclaim their heterodoxy, it would add much to the respectability of their respective characters, if they were to resign their respective situations ? Those may be base and sordid persons who, holding high preferment in the Church of England, defend her doctrine and discipline; and Dr. ARNOLD tells us that they are the vilest creatures upon earth,— but, to plain unsophisticated minds, there will appear to be a class yet more sordid, base, and vile, which consists of those who pocket their hundreds and thousands from their situations in the establishment, and yet openly attack her articles and her faith. THE feud between Sir JOHN SOANE and the Literary Fund has at length in hollow murmurs died away ;" the talented but too zealous perpetrator of the mutilation has been gently rebuked, and there the matter ends— unless, indeed, the sug gestion given below be acted upon, which we scarcely anti- cipate :— ( Dr. T. loquitur.) Ochone! Ochone! For the portrait of SOANE ! JERDAN ! you ought to have let it alone, Don't you see that instead of " removing the bone Of contention," the apple of discord you've thrown? One general moan, Like a tragedy groan, Burst forth when the picturecide deed became known. When the story got blown, From the Thames to the Rhone, Folks were calling for ether and Eau de Cologne, All shocked at the want of discretion you've shown. If your heart's not a stone, You will forthwith atone, The best way to do that is to ask Mr. RONE— — Y to sew up the slits; the Committee you'll own, When it's once stitch'd together, must see that it's SOANE.• * Qu. Sewn ?— Print. Dev. THE Radicals are extremely dissatisfied with the Eclipse of Sunday, and some liberal Members of Parliament, we under- stand, propose moving for a Committee to inquire into the management of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, and the salaries of its different officers. They complain that these paid servants of the public promised a great deal more than really happened : there was no darkness— no stars appeared— the cocks and hens walked about just as usual, without exhibiting the smallest wish to go to bed— and the birds sung throughout the whole of the obscuration. We must for ourselves say, that we were disappointed at the effect produced, but we are not inclined to attribute the failure, as certain Irish gentlemen do, to the fact of Mr. O'CONNELL'S having been ejected from Parliament the day before. WE to- day resume the discussion and exposure of the American tariff and its political attributes. The United States as a federal nation, whose interests con- sisted wholly in the cultivation of the soil, and in raising and exporting raw materials, wherewith to procure foreign manu- factures, and whereby to pay or receive in money the differ- ence of exchange, placed themselves originally in a false po sition on the subject of the tariff, both as regarded the national interests, per se, and as regarded the national inte- rests in that community of nations among which the federa- tion was recognised. With regard to its own individual national interests, the nation's false position is daily, and has all along been, deve- loped by the constant collision between the Northern and Southern States of the Federation; that is, between the owners of the soil, the producers of the exports, and the consumers- in- chief, of the imports on one side, and the lack- land adven- turers, the immigrated manufacturers, who raised their " sweet voices," demanded and procured protective duties for their selfish advantages on the other side. Thus, between these two clashing and never- to- be- conciliated interests the " eter- nal Republic" originally sowed the seeds of that political destruction, of which they are about to reap the harvest in a political tariff. From tliis original false position the federation of States never has, and never will recover; but, by way of a temporising remedv, it has over and over again in Congress " wounded"— we do like the old General's own word— it has wounded the constitution, just as FALSTAFF did HOTSPUR after HARRY had killed him, and usurped the power oflevying duties ruinous in their partial effects on all the importations into all the States, and thereby tyrannically taking from the separate States their respective rights of sovereignty as to taxation, and aggravating, by innumerable modes of oppression, the original false position of the nation in respect of its own interests. With regard to its national interests, as a nation among a community of nations, the United States in federation has mortgaged the whole of its soil to foreigners, and all the arti- ficial property thereon, in paying off, by paper liabilities, re- deemable by individuals, a national debt! This paying off, in those paper liabilities, must eventually cause the property represented to be sold in satisfaction of the mortgage, or in default of its sale, to be taken possession of by foreign creditors in reprisal for their just demands ! Another proof of the entirely false position of this nation is, that its Government is supported by those only who benefit by the tariff, and is opposed by those only who are ruined thereby; the former are rebels and ruffians, outcasts from the whole earth, and the latter are the native- born children of the soil, who inherited it, and desire honestly to get rid of its incumbrances. The entire nation, in its present form, is divided into those two classes, subdivided among themselves we admit, which aggravates the matter ; and these two classes, from pretended republicans, have become aristocrats and democrats— that is, in plain English, they are persons with property who want to keep it, and persons without property who want to take it; persons, in fact, descended from English and German ancestors, and persons descended from Irish or Hottentot progenitors; and these two classes, with equal political rights, bear to- wards one another the same conduct a lion bears a tiger— when there is prey for both, they are in amity ; on the contrary, in case of short commons, the one preys on the other, accord- ing to the length of his teeth and the sharpness of his claws. These two classes in the United States would become the enslaver and the enslaved, were it not, fortunately for them- selves even, that foreign creditors must interfere; but herein, in this interference, we dread the prospective mighty collision, not among Americans, but among the mortgagees of America. To a citizen of the world, such as GOLDSMITH wrote about, it must have been, and must still appear, strange, if not unaccountable, that a nation should be able to persuade itself, and all other nations, that it paid off all its national debt, while the citizens were free from taxation ; and, moreover, that it is, after the payment of that debt, ruined by the ac- cumulation of taxes voluntarily tossed into the national trea- sury. Verily, as BYRON, and fifty other people say, there is no romance like the truths we see. The American tariff, as a political lever to lift the world, had its origin in cunning, deep, but self- destroying, short- sighted cunning, which for the sake of pure morality mani- fests that whether among nations or individuals, honesty is the best policy. The commercial use made by the Americans of their tariff was, as we have already shown, a decoy or premium to ma- noeuvre " fresh importations;" its political use we are now going to explain. The more go- tlie- whole- hog voters an importer of foreign merchandise can drag to the poll— whether for election of Pre- sident of all the States, of a Governor of one of the States, of a Postmaster- General, or of a Twopenny- postman— the greater is that importer's political influence, and, consequently, the duration of credit on the duties of his importations is thus determined, as well as the responsibility of his sureties, who each of them passes the same ordeal as to political influence. We should explain here, that go - the- whole- hog has a real American meaning far beyond any European notions of slang; it involves in its practice not the election of President merely, but who shall be his and all and every of his dependents, bar- bers, bakers, butchers, and even ready- made coffin- mongers. To lie " on the fence" has also a wonderful practical meaning in America; but this we shall illustrate on some future occa- sion. To go- the- whole- hog, however, means to make a voter beastly drunk, then drive him to the poll with a ticket in his hand, on which ticket are printed the name of ADAMS or JACKSON for President of the United States, some other name for Governor of a Sovereign State, another for Comptroller of the Customs, and so on ; and this is what is practically meant by going the whole hog, and this also is what is meant by the triumphant and classical American exclamations of That's the ticket— Go it, ye cripples. It is an historical fact, the truth of which is capable of proof, that three- fourths, we might safely say nine- tenths, of the importations, except such as are sent to accredited and established branches of European houses, are consigned for sale BY AUCTION to persons who are and have been almost all their commercial lives within the limits at New York, the great emporium, commercial and political, of the United States, which limits extend over Manhatten Island, about the size of our Isle of Wight, which limits consequently include the whole city as to present and prospective extent, and which limits mean nothing more nor less than the rules granted to prisoners for debt, like the rules of the Fleet or Bench, in all things save their pleasurable and pecuniary advantages— and these pleasurable and pecuniary advantages are regulated by the High Sheriff, whose prisoner obliged or disobliged him by a go- the- whole- hog vote on the day of his election. Political influence, thus commercially interwoven, is at last discovered by the wonderful politicians themselves to be a two- edged sword, and not only severs the two classes of the community, but is as easily wielded by one party as the other, for mutual destruction. No voter at an election, whether an annual or a four- year old one, can maintain any neutral ground ; he must go the whole hog— hence his very existence is mixed up and inseparably intermingled, mystified, and confounded with his party, and hence also the politics of every importer of merchandise is made, for selfish purposes, subser- vient to the party in power, or to the party wanting to get into power— if those selfish purposes should be answered by sup- porting the party in power, he receives his con- si- der- a- tion in the duration of time awarded to him for the payment of the duties— if, on the contrary, those selfish purposes should be answered in opposing the party in power, his con- si- der- a- tion then is freedom of discounts by Joint- Stock Political Banks, which are the mere bubbles floating on the tide of Revolution, Here let us pause for a moment to reflect on this political Pandemonium, in which there is no cavern for any man, woman, or child, to plunge into deep enough— no mountain- top high enough to climb upon out of the reach of electioneer- ing effervescence, in which are called into active and elemental hostilities every bad passion of the human heart. The practical effects of the system of lending the duties to importers on the one hand, and on the other, compelling other importers not so much favoured, to establish, in self- defence, joint- stock accommodation- shops for discount of paper liabili- ties, are too important, involving as they do so many Eng- lish and American interests, to be hastily or lightly discussed. Our space will not permit us to enter into the question to 633 JOHN BULL. April 17. day. We will, at an early opportunity, resume the whole of this subject. AMONGST the speculations of that character, the Brighton railroads appear to be those which are most interesting to the population of the metropolis. The Committee are at length about to report upon the merits of the different " lines" which have been proposed. Our own opinion is, judging at least from the evidence, that Mr. CUNDY'S, must eventually be adopted: none of the witnesses examined in favour of the other lines have shaken the statements made by Mr. MILLS and others, in support of it ; in fact, the summing up of Sir JOHN RENNIE'S Counsel is decidedly in favour of CUNDY'S line. That there will be a railroad to Brighton nobody can doubt; and from the shortness of the distance, and the favour- able character of its traffic, it will be one of those which will be finished and brought into operation. This being the case, aware as we are of the perils of high embankments, and the boirors of sunken tunnels, we strenuously advocate that project which is free from such dangers and nuisances. FROM the first moment its effects were submitted to our inspection, we never entertained a second opinion of the entire efficacy of Mr. KYAN'S process for the prevention of dry- rot. As we proceeded with a further investigation of the subject, we saw benefits of the highest importance to society arising from other effects produceable by the same discovery; we mean the rapid seasoning of newly- felled timber, and the equalization of quality in various woods, some of which have been hitherto useless. In fact, the advantages resulting from the discovery appear to us so extensive in their spread and operation, that we went out of our way to advocate and sup- port it, because we conscientiously believed it to be of the very highest value and importance to this great and maritime nation. It is, therefore, with great pleasure we perceive that the Act of Parliament, incorporating the Company in whose hands the patent is now placed, has received the Royal Assent, and that the adoption of the principle is universal amongst the most important persons in the realm. A feeble attempt to de- teriorate from its merits was made; but whether that was the work of ignorance or ill- will, it matters little, since thfi triumph of science has been achieved, and one of the greatest and most serious evils which assails society is in a rapid course of anni- hilation. As a speculation, it is needless to speak of it— the shares are rapidly rising, and will continue to rise, at a certain and steady rate: we merely confine ourselves to the value of the discovery, to which, even incidentally, the highest authorities bear testimony. In looking over the evidence given before the Parliamentary Committee on the Timber duties, we happened to, stumble upon the testimony of Sir ROBERT SMIRKE, whose name we have had occasion previously to mention as an advocate for the process, and there we find the following answers given by that eminent man to some questions put, casually, we may say, touching this discovery :— Do you know Kyan's patent ?— Yes, I do. What is your opinion of that patent ?— 1 think it extremely valu- able. Supposing it were applied to the yellow Canadian timber, would it render it equally fit for the purposes to which you now usually apply Baltic timber ?— I applied it to yellow Canadian pine about three years ago,> and exposed that wood to the severest tests I could apply, and it remains uninjured, when any other timber ( OAK or BALTIC WOOD) would certainly have decayed if exposed to the same trial, and not prepared in the same manner. Have the goodness to state to what trial you subjected it ?— I took a certain number of pieces of wood, cut from the same log of yellow pine, from poplar, and from the common Scotch fir; these pieces I Slaced first in a cesspool, into which the waters of the common sewers ischarged themselves; they remained there six months ; they were removed from thence and placed in a hot bed of compost, under a garden frame ; they remained there a second six months; they were afterwards put into a flower border, placed half out of the ground, and I gave my gardener directions to water them whenever he • watered the flowers; they remained there a similar period of six months. I put them afterwards into a cellar where there was some dampness, and the air completely excluded ; they remained there a fourth period of six months, and were afterwards put into a very wet cellar. Those pieces of wood which underwent Kyan's process are in the same state as when I first had them, and all the others to which the process had not been applied are more or less rotten, and the poplar is wholly destroyed. Though it might give durability to the yellow timber, it would not give it strength ?— Not the least. It would still remain fit for those peculiar purposes to. which yel- low pine is, you say applicable ; but not to other purposes to which the Baltic is applicable ?— There are many purposes where it may be used, not depending upon strength, such as ceiling joists, and in some parts of partitions, and in other parts of a house. Would not the lightness be there a great advantage ?— 1 do not think that is of importance; but the advantage of the process is, that it renders such an inferior wood as the poplar useful. Do you recollect whether any injury was done to the fibre of the wood by the use of it ?— I could discover none. As another example of the effect of the process, I may mention that about two years ago, in a basement story of some chambers in the Temple, the wood flooring and the wood lining of the walls were entirely decayed from the dampness of the ground and walls ; and to repair it, under such circumstances was useless. As 1 found it extremely difficult to pre- vent the dampness, I recommended lining the walls and the floor with this prepared wood, which was done; and about six weeks ago I took down part of it to examine whether any of the wood was in- jured, but it was fomul in as good a state as when first put up. WTiat is the efl'ect on the nails ?— I have observed no effect upon them. You did not find that they were more liable to rust ?— No; I have used it in a very considerable quantity of paling nearly three years ago; that paling is now in quite as good a state as it was, though it is partly in the ground. Of what material was that composed ?— Of yellow pine: some that I put up the year before without using KYAN'S process ( yellow pine), not fixed into the ground, but close upon it, is decayed, and the lower part of it was cut away last year. Is the process very expensive?— No. Did you steep the wood yourself?— No; I had it done in London and sent it down. We have no room for much more evidence of a similar na- ture, but we suppose, coming from such authority as Sir ROBERT SMIRKE, what we have space for will be sufficient to justify us in our unqualified approbation and support of the process. The LATE DUEL between LIEVT.- COL. KIRSY, of the British Auxiliary Legion, and CAPT. LOTHIAN DICKSON, late Lieut.- Colonel in the same Service. TO JOHN BULL. SIB,— Having been informed by several of my friends that there exists a general misunderstanding respecting the cause of the late duel be- tween Captain DICKSON and Colonel KIRBY, I consider myself called upon, without further delay, to give publicity to the facts of the case, as well as to remove an erroneous opinion entertained by many, that Captain DICKSON has actually published a letter, contrary to a pro- mise on his part that he would not do so. I take this opportunity of apologising to Captain DICKSON for my negligence, in having ' so long allowed his friends and the public to remain in error on the subject. In my recent correspondence with Brigadier- General EVANS, 1 alluded to a copy of a letter that I had in my possession, purporting to be signed by sixteen Field- Officers of the " British Auxiliary Legion, which had been forwarded to Lieutenant- General EVANS, com- manding that force, which letter, I remarked to the Brigadier- Ge- neral, contained expressions highly laudatory of CaptainDicKsox's conduct in an unpleasant affair he had had with a Major LONG. This observation on mv part, elicited from Colonel KIRBY a long letter to Captain DICKSON", bearing date the 24th of last month, which I per- ceive has already appeared in the Courier of the 7th instant, and has been re- published in the Morning Chronicle of the 9th inst. Colonel KIRBY in this letter completely brought to Captain DICK- SON'S recollection a promise he had made when at Vittoria, to destroy the copy of the letter in question as soon as it should be re- turned to him by a Captain WILSON, to whom he had lent it, which letter had been withdrawn by the Field- Officers who had signed it, in consequence of the Lieutenant- General having consi- dered it " a most unmilitary proceeding," as stated by Colonel KIRBY in his letter above referred to of the 24th ult. Captain DICKSON, therefore, immediately replied by requesting Colonel KIP. BV to have the goodness to call upon me, which he con- sequently did the next day, accompanied by a friend, and in our pre- sence, Captain DICKSON caused Me copy to be committed to the flames. Previous to quitting the room, Colonel KIRBY wrote the following letter, which he gave Captain DICKSON permission to publish, should any allusion be afterwards made regarding his having retained possession of " the copy,'' instead of destroying it as soon as received from Captain WILSON :—• " 18, Bury- street, April 25th, 1836. " Dear DICKSON,— 1 am happy to find that your retaining the copy of the letter signed by the sixteen Field- Officers, and which you had sent to Captain WILSON, originated in mistake, and I have not the slightest doubt you will feel more satisfied at having put it in the fire: it puts an end at once to all unpleasant remarks on the occasion, which I had not the slightest doubt you would do on my representing the matter in the light I did. " I remain, my dear DICKSON, yours truly, ( Signed) " H. R. KIRBY." A few days subsequently, Captain DICKSON'S statement, giving his reasons for having left the Queen of SPAIN'S service, appeared in the United Service Jtm- nal, in which is the following passage " The Field- Officers of the Legion ( mentioning byname some Officers) then withdrew me, considering; that Major LONG, by his outrageous conduct, had forfeited all claim to the character of a gentleman; and t. hey immediately addressed a letter to the Lieut.- General commanding, signed by sixteen of their number, including five Colonels commanding regiments, expressing their sentiments." Colonel KIRBY having requested, on Tuesday, the 3d instant, a copy of the letter he had written to Captain DICKSON on the 24th ult., Captain DICKSON consequently begged Colonel KIRBY to call upon him for that purpose any time " during the next day, when to his sur- prise, he received the following letter from Colonel KIRBY :— " Colonel KIRBY regrets that he cannot wait on Colonel DICKSON, as he conceives Colonel DICKSON has virtually broken faith in pub- lishing the substance of the letter, which is equivalent to the letter itself: should Colonel DICKSON entrust the letter ( referring to his" own letter of the 24th ult.) to Colonel KIRBY for an hour or two, it shall be faithfully returned." A short time previous to the receipt of the foregoing letter, Captain DICKSON had forwarded to Colonel KIRBY, by the two- penny post, a copy of the letter he was anxious to obtain. On the part, of my friend, Captain DICKSON, I waited, as soon as possible, upon Colonel KIRBY, to request he would withdraw the portion of the above letter that charged Captain DICKSON with " hav- ing broken faith," at the same time begging he would re- peruse the paragraph in the United Service Journal, in which he might observe, that as Captain DICKSON had not alluded to the whole contents of the letter that had been forwarded to the Lieutenant- General, but had particularly avoided making any allusion to that part of it which had been considered objectionable and the cause of its having been withdrawn, I hoped he would have nohesitation to make the " amende honorable." I also remarked that, as 1 had understood the contents of the letterin question were well known at the time to most, if not all, of the Officers in the Legion, my friend Captain DICKSON could not be considered as having divulged a secret by the partial allusion he had made to this letter in the above paragraph in the United Service Journal. Moreover. 1 was convinced that Captain DICKSON would not have even thus alluded to it, had he been aware that by so doing he should have caused to the Officers who had signed it the slightest annoyance. In my subsequent conversation with Mr. DADE ( Colo- nel KIP. BY'S friend on the occasion), I repeated the above observa- tions, and urged a withdrawal of the letter. Mr. DADE, however, on the part of his friend, Colonel KIRBY, in- formed me that the above expression could not be withdrawn, unless Captain DICKSON would acknowledge " that he had virtually pro- mised that he would not make use of the letter in question by any allusion to it whatever," to which Captain DICKSON could not pos- sibly consent, as he distinctly asserts that he never made such a pro- mise, nor does he think it probable that he should have been called upon to bind himself to secresv upon a subject that was generally known in the Legion, Captain DICKSON regarding the destruction of the copies of the letter in question as a mere form rendered necessary by the letter being officially withdrawn. A meeting between the parties was therefore unavoidable, and accordingly took place. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, Bury- street, St. James's, Saturday, May 14. W. B. COOKE. In addition to this correspondence, we have thought it right to subjoin an aceountof the meeting which took place between Captain DICKSON andColonel KIRBY, signed by their mutual friends:— TO THE EDITOR. SIR,— At the hostile meeting that took place on Friday morning, at Chalk Farm, between Captain LOTHIAN DICKSON, lialf- pay unat- tached, and Lieutenant- Colonel KIRBY, of the British Auxiliary Legion, also Captain in the Madras army, I acted as second to my friend, Captain DICKSON. The subject of the quarrel^ between the parties would be uninteresting to your readers. Suffice it to say, that Captain DICKSON'S honour was questioned in a letter from Colonel KIRBY. An apology, or the usual satisfaction, was demanded of him. A meeting took place. Colonel KIRBY'S pistol missed fire, and Cap- tain DICKSON'S shot not having taken effect, he, in the most honour- able manner, requested that Colonel KIRBY should have another pistol handed to him, at the same time stating he should not return the tire. But I at once declared I could not allow it. I then walked up to Captain DICKSON, and said—" In consequence of this decla ration on your part,, I must distinctly understand whether yon are determined to fire in the air, should 1 demand another exchange of shots." He replied that " he considered he must do so," or words to that effect. 1 consequently told R. DADE, Esq., Colonel KIRBY'S second, that, under these peculiar circumstances, 1 did not consider myself justified in demanding further satisfaction. In a few moments Mr. DADE in- formed me that he was equally satisfied. Upon leaving the ground, Captain DICKSON, on the impulse of the moment, offered to shake hands with Colonel KIRBY, which the lat- ter declined doing. W. B. COOKE. ( Confirmed) ROBERT DADE. 18, Bury- street, May 8. It is with unfeigned regret we have to record ( he sudden and un- expected death of her Grace the Duchess of BUCKINGHAM. Her Grace, in company with the Duke, was driving through the delight- ful gardens at Stowe on Saturday afternoon, and dined the same evening with his Grace, in health and excellent spirits. During the same evening she was seized with violent indisposition, arising from spasms, and, after twenty- four hours' illness, she expired. An ex- press was sent off to the Marquess and Marchioness of CHANDOS at Buckingham- House, in Pall- mall, but on their arrival at Stowe the Duchess had ceased to exist. Her Grace was in her 57th year, and was by birth Lady ANNA ELIZABETH BRYDGES, daughter and heiress of JAMES, the third and last Duke of CHANDOS, and co- heir with the Marquess TOWNSHEND of the Barony of Chandos. Her marriage with the Duke of BUCKINGHAM has left issue an only son, RICHARD PLANTAGENET, Marquess of CHANDOS, born February 11, 1797. Of all the virtues which can adorn the human character, and fit our imperfect nature for a better world, her Grace the Duchess of BUCKINGHAM and CHANDOS was a splendid example. Sincere, gentle, affectionate, and pious, and boundless in her charities, this excellent lady seemed to be born for the happiness of all whom the common relations of life brought within her sphere, and for their improvement by her conversation and example. One who knew her well and long says, in communicating her death, " a better human being never existed, and but for my high good fortune in her Grace's acquaintance I conld not have believed it possible that so good a human being could exist." The Duchess of BUCKINGHAM and CHAXDOS was the only child of JAMES, third Duke of CHANDOS ; who was himself the first lineal descendant of MARY, Queen of France, second daughter of HENRY VII. The late Duchess was conse- quently the representative of the eldest English branch of the Royal Family of England, except that which possesses the Crown. In this proud distinction, as well as in many of her excellent qualities, she is represented by her only son, the Marquess of C HAS DOS.— Standard. Monday being the day on which the Marquess of GRANBY came of age, tickets were previously issued to a number of inhabitants of the villages in the neighbourhood of Bel voir Castle, by order of the Duke of RUTLAND, entitling them to partake of a public dinner in their respective localities, and a portion of strong ale twenty- four years old; but the event was not celebrated with the public splendour that had been contemplated, in consequence of the so near occurrence of the late Lord ROBT. MANNERS'S much lamented death. The party, who dined at the Castle of Belvoir was a small family circle, including the Marquess who presided— the two Lords and Lady ADELIZA MAN- NERS, Lady ELIZABETH NORMAN and Miss GOODWIN.— The ma- jority of the Marquess of GRANBY was celebrated at New- market by a dinner at the Rutland Arms Hotel, at which 52 gentle- men of the town and neighbourhood composed a most cheerful party; Captain UNEERWOOD, of Cheveley Park, being the President. The fare was abundant and excellent; after the customary loyal toasts had received due honour, and the health of the Duke of RUT- LAND had been drunk with the most cordial acclamation, some " COMMEMORATIVE VERSES," written by Mr. CHARLES FEIST, of Newmarket, were given. The whole of the company arose, at the conclusion of the last verse, and with the most enthusiastic cheers, reiterated the burthen, " A health, Noble GRANBY— a bumper to thee!" The greatest harmony and conviviality reigned throughout the meeting. Lord BROUGHAM arrived at Harrington Hall, the seat of Colonel CLITHEROW, on Friday last. We are happy to state that his Lord- ship's health appears to be considerably improved.— Boston Herald. To this announcement the Times appends the following: " A shark has a quick scent, and follows a ship when any fatal disease is among the crew. Lord BROUGHAM is pertinaciously wending his way to come up with the Cabinet- vessel. Everybody is aware that his Lordship has a remarkable nose." Captain W. A. B. HAMILTON ( R. N.), second son of the Right Hon. Lady CHARLOTTE HAMILTON, was married on Tuesday to the Lady HARRIET HAMILTON, sister of the Marquess of ABERCORN. The ceremony was performed by his Grace the Archbishop of CAN- TERBURY, in the private Chapel of the Palace at Lambeth. Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Lieutenant- General Sir THOMAS PEREGRINE MAITLAND, K. C. B., took the usual oaths on his appointment to the office of Commander- in- Chief of the Forces on the Madras Establishment, and Second Member of Council at the Presidency of Fort St. George. The habits of the Prince of ORANGE and liis sons are exceedingly simple and unostentatious. His Royal Highness sleeps on a plain camp bedstead, brought from Holland; and although they nightly attend to many fashionable assemblies, they almost invariably rise at the early hour of six, and the Prince, with his sons, arm- in- arm, frequently promen'ade Bond- street and Regent- street, without their suite, going into the shops to make purchases. At a meeting of the Standing Committee of Baronets, on Saturday last, it was resolved that the Order for the present confine their attention to the petition to his MAJESTY, adopted at the general meeting of Baronets on the 29tli of last month, praying that the Ulster Badge may be worn on the person, and that a general meeting shall be held on the 30th instant, to sign the petition and fix when it shall be presented. Mr. ARTHUR BULLER has been appointed one of the Commissioners for Inquiry into Charities in the place of Mr. PETER, who has resigned. It is said that Sir ROBERT VAUGHAN, from ill- health, has resigned the county of Merioneth, which he has for many years been the representative of in Parliament, and that the candidates for the vacant seat are Sir WM. WYNN and RICHARD RICHARDS, Esq. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE.— The costs incurred by Messrs. WEST and HAMILTON for fees to Counsel alone, since the return of the commission from Dublin, is upwards of 3,000 guineas. We also understand that those gentlemen paid nearly an equal sum to Counsel before the commission issued. These sums, however, only form part of the enormous expense attending an inquiry protracted longer than any one recorded in the annals of Parliament.— Standard. The Haymarket is boldly asserting its right to a place in the first rank of our theatres. The English Ballet immediately in front of the foreign enemy is a bold effort, and succeeds remarkably well. We trust that the spirited proprietor will steer clear of tragedies, and we have no doubt that he will find the proverbial popularity of his fane of mirth as great this year as it ought to be, with so many comic attractions as it possesses. Last week the western Conservatives of Exeter, who continue in- creasing in number, celebrated the return of Mr. PARKER for South Devon by dining together. After the cloth was removed several loyal and Conservative toasts were given and drank, and the evening was spent in harmony and good fellowship. By intelligence from Lisbon to the 13th we learn that a circum stance had just occurred which had excited the utmost consternation. It was made known atthe Palace thattheyoung Prince was confined to his bed with a severe cold and swelled throat, with exactly the same symptoms with which thefutal illness of the last husband of the Queen commenced, and a general uneasiness pervaded the town, which though complimentary to this fine youth, gave his well- wishers an awkward sensation, difficult to explain or to account for. Thii coincidence had naturally produced a good deal of speculation, but there is every reason to presume that the parallel of the cases will not be carried further this time, for, though at one time seriously indisposed, this Prince had already mastered the attack, and was, by the last accounts, in a safe way of recovery. The complaint of both the Royal consorts was in the chest; but the living one, with better fortune, declined the prescriptions of the Portuguese Court physician, and trusted altogether to the adviser whom he had brought with him from Germany, and whohas been successful in bringing him through. The Paris papers contain a rumour that a great number of acts of grace will be granted at the approaching anniversary of July, and among them it is said that the captivity of M. DE CHANTELAUZE and M. GUERNON DE RANVILLE, Ministers of CHARLES X., will be com- muted into banishment. Passengers can now be conveyed from London to Dundee, via Hull, a distance of 500 miles, for seven shillings— and you may be booked by coach from Retford to London for four shillings and six- pence ! The following article appeared in the official journal of St. Peters April 167. JOHN BULL. 115 burgh of the 30th ult., the first since the revolution of July :—" To- morrow ( Sunday), May 1, being the festival of St. Philip, there will be celebrated, after high mass, in the Catholic Church of St. Cathe- rine, a service on the occasion of the fete of the King of the French. All the French who are at St. Petersburgh are invited to attend." A NEW ACCOMPLISHMENT.— The following ludicrous phrase ap- pears in the petition of the Canterbury Town Council for the aboli- tion of the punishment of death—" except in case of wilful and accomplished (!.') murder." STATESMANLIKE CONDUCT.— About a fortnight ago, says the Bos- ton Herald, Lord JOHN RUSSELL decided, of course after due con- sideration, that Grantham should not have a Court of Quarter Sessions ; his Lordship has now agreed that Grantham shall have a Court of Quarter Sessions!— The Salisbury Herald says— We have just heard that his MAJESTY has been pleased to reconsider the petition of the Town Council of Devizes, and to grant that a separate Court of Quarter Sessions of the Peace may be held for that borough. The Morning Herald publishes the following :— WHITE SLAVERY !— In the parish of St. Marylebone, the paupers) under the present Radical management, daily water no less than two hundred and ninety- four thousand and six square yards of ground ! ( these poor fellows are yoked to heavy trucks, which, when filled, weigh upwards of 1,500 lbs !) This immense tract of ground has to be twice gone over, and the water pumped np from deep wells, by men who, from old age, ought in charity to be exempted from such toil. One of them, on Wednesday, sunk down in an exhausted state, and bitterly observed, that he would gladly change his form to that of a beast, for he should then be protected from such cruelty ! The poor old man was upwards of 60 years of age, and had, he said, paid rates in the parish to a very large amount. Such is Republican humanity; the aged are made to pump up the water because it is cheaper! and they are made to drag it about because a saving is thereby effected!— of some few pounds for horse hire. Pity that there is no " society for the prevention of cruelty to paupers." POPISH SUPERSTITION.'— We ( the Liverpool Standard) take the following extract from a communication made to us by a gentleman of Warrington, upon whose veracity we have the most implicit reliance :— On Friday last I was at Newton, when one of the Manchester trains arrived; a poor woman alighted from one of the carriages, and inquired at the railway office the way to Garswood. She carried in her arms a child which appeared to be very ill. After the woman had left the office, one of the porters said that he thought she was going to Garswood to see a Catholic priest, in order to get her child rubbed with the holy hand. A s I had heard in my youth of the miraculous cures performed by the holy hand, I was induced to follow the poor woman, in order to ascertain if that were the cause of her journey. On asking her, she frankly admitted that she was going to Garswood to have her child rubbed with the holy hand, and that she had been persuaded to do so by several of her female neighbours who had been much benefitted by the friction of the Reverend priest's holy paw." — We have heard something of a legend of the holy hand. If the Reverend priest of Garswood take money for his miraculous cures, he is, we believe, amenable to the laws under which fortune- tellers are punished as cheats and impostors. We learn from the Merthyr Guardian that the O'Connell Tribute is about to be attempted in the Principality. That paper says:— Six Irish Popish priests, with their shillelahs, will visit Merthyr, so runs the report, in the course of a few weeks. It is expected that the new silver fourpences will be the coin most in request as Tribute Money, upon the principle, we presume, of the sagacious parrot's advice—" Give the knave a groat." The claims of Mr. O'CONNELL on this part of the country are very great; it is to his influence with the POPE and Prince IIOHENLOE " that several valuable mines have con- tinued to be productive, and almost all the coal veins are the fruit of his intercessory prayers. Several furnaces that were bewitched have been unspelled by him, and, by his controul over his Majesty's Government, it is expected that every man at Merthyr will be left to his own devices uncontrolled by Magistrate or municipal corpora- tion. Having thus apprised our readers of the probable advent of the Great Mendicant and his Janissaries, we earnestly recommend a quiet submission to the payment of the " tribute," and this for several reasons. In the first place the shillelahs !— next— the curses of the priests, who, if the " voluntary" payment be refused, will hurl the cinder tips into the Taff, and either by exalting the valleys, or depressing the mountains, reduce everything and everybody to a " dead level." If the tribute be quietly paid, what now is ashes will soon be verdure, and new life and vegetation will visit the sterile promontories that surround us. If our advice is, unhappily, not followed, Mr. SPRING RICE will, by Mr. O'CONNELL'S command, introduce a Bill to prevent the digging of more than a barrowful of coal and a handful of lime per diem— he will control the growth of children by a poll tax, ana regulate the obesity of manhood and womanhood by an exciseman's stick; everything above three feet high and ten stone weight will be liable to a stamp duty— all to be adjusted on the " superficial inch" principle. Habitants of the prin- cipality, ye are warned! We find the following in the columns of our excellent contemporary the Standard of Wednesday:— The British and Foreign Temperance Society held its annual meeting yesterday in Exeter Hall, the Hon. and Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of LONDON in the chair, who addressed the company in behalf of the society. Lord TEIGNMOUTH, BASIL MOXTAGU, Esq., and Mr. BUCKINGHAM, took part in the proceedings, after which the meeting broke up. The hall was filled with gentlemen and ladies, an unusual proportion of whom consisted of members of the Society of Friends, and residents in the great manufacturing towns, who had come to London for the purpose of attending the meeting. — We regret to notice the incorrectness of this statement, inasmuch as the Bishop of LONDON has been seriously ill— and was certainly not out of his room, even if out of bed, upon the day in question. His Lordship has been suffering from violent inflammation of the bowels, which at one time threatened most serious results ; but we are glad to say, all danger is now past, although repose and quiet are consi- dered absolutely necessary to his Lordship's eventual restoration. Tuesday morning, as THOMAS KENNING, one of the workmen employed on the London and Birmingham Railroad, near | to Kensall- green, on the Harrow- road, was pursuing his - work, he was run against and knocked down by one of the waggons loaded with earth, as it descended an inclined tramway, by the impetus of its weight, and he sustained such severe injuries that his life is despaired of. The Board of Auditors of the parish of St. Marylebone are in a state of petty warfare with the vestry regarding the accounts for the year 1835. The Radical party were for thrusting a mere abstract of the auditor's report upon the notice of the parishioners ; but those who were a little in the secret determined upon publishing a full re- port, which has been printed and circulated. Among the items is the following, which certainly offers an amusing specimen of what Radicalism is capable of when it has once arrived at the means of doing mischief. " The expense of the board of perambulation in May last ( says the printed report ) amounts to the sum of 451. 19s. 9d. We annex a list of the items, that the rate- payers may draw their own conclusion of the benefit of fresh air and exercise upon the appetite. The number of children who perambulated was 300, and the subjoined list of expenses appears in the official books:— s. d. 5141b. of bread! 2 17 4551b. of beef!! 12 6 5 2871b. of ham! ! 9 11 published, in order that the parish may not be misled by the abstract statement made by tb « Radicals. The Morning Herald truly says :— One of the most mortifying points of Lord MELBOURNE'S situation must be admitted to be, that, notwithstanding the destitute state of his Administration in the House of Lords, both in point of talents and numbers, as compared with its opponents, two Noble Lords, Earls GREY and SPENCER, who were the leaders of the Whig Admi- nistration in the two Houses originally, never open their lips, or come to ( he rescue of their late colleague, when borne down by his assail- ants. What can this prove, but that the Noble Earls in question spurn the state of vassalage to which the rump of their former party has allowed itself to be reduced ? And ought not snch an astounding and undeniable fact to speak volumes to Lord MELBOURNE himself, in proof of the fallen and degraded posilion in which he allows himself to be placed ?

CAMBRIDGE, May 20.— The Syndicate lately appointed to consider and report upon the expediency of purchasing the Museum and Anatomical Preparations of Dr. Alacartney, the professor of Anatomy in Trinity college, Dublin, have made their report to the Senate. This report strongly recommends the purchase, and it is believed that a grace will shortly be introduced to carry the recommendation into effect. The Syndicate appointed by a grace of the Senate on the 11th of May, for the purpose of considering whether the design chosen for the New Library, & c., be in conformity with the instructions given to the architects, have made the following report to the Senate:— They have examined Mr. Cockerelt's design with reference to the instructions given to the architects, with regard to the nature, extent, and arrangement of the accommodation required, and they are of opinion that it is in conformity with those instructions. With respect to the probable cost of the buildings to be erected in the first instance, they have made inquiries of Mr. Cockerell, who is of opinion that the portion of the design which is marked in his draw- ings as purposed for immediate execution, and which comprehends all the accommodation immediately required by the instructions, may be built and prepared for the reception of its fittings, for a sum not exceeding 25,0001. Mr. Cockerell, however, declines pledging him- self to this precise tum, as the amount of the expenditure may be materially affected by the nature of the stone and other materials employed. ORDINATIONS. On Thursday the 12th, the Bishop of Worcester held an Ordination in the Chapel of Hartlebury Castle, when the followinggentlemen were ordained :— Deacons: Jl Couchman, B. A., of Clare hall, Cambridge ; C. Spencer, B. A., of Christ's college, Cambridge.— Priest: H. J. Wilding, B. A., of Trinity college, Cambridge. It is announced that the Archbishop of York intends to hold a general ordination at Bishopthorpe, on Sunday, the 31st of July. Candidates are to send their papers before the 1st of July, and to attend at the Palace on Thursday, the 28th of that month. MISCELLANEOUS. We are authorised to state that the Lord Bishop of EXETER intends to hold a Visitation throughout his diocese, and to confirm at such places where confirmation has not been recently held, in the months of August and September next. It is reported, on what authority we know not, that an arrange- ment has been come to with the Bishop of DURHAM elect, by which his Lordship is to come into possession of all the revenues of the See for three years certain, on the condition that he shall conform, at the end of that term, to any Legislative measure which may in the interim be decided on, with respect to such revenues.— Durham Advertiser. The Glmi- cester Chronicle says, " We understand that the Church Commissioners have at length come to an agreement, that the two sees of Gloucester and Bristol shall be united, and that the Diocesan shall be called the Lord Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol. It is also proposed, though not yet determined, that the Bishop shall reside six months at each of the two cities alternately, as it is supposed that such an arrangement will give more satisfaction than building a new palace midway between them, in the centre of the united dioceses." Dr. BUTLER, it is now said, will have the see of Ely, and not that of Lichfield, as hitherto supposed.— JVolverhampton Chronicle. The living of St. James, Bristol, has met with a purchaser in JOHN SCANDRET HARFORD, Esq.; the price, was 2,5551. The living of Christchurch has also been disposed of to Mr. STRICKLAND, solicitor, of that city, for 4,5551., being intended for his son. On Monday last, the first stone of the intended Chapel at Brearton, in the parish of Knaresborough, was laid by THOMAS DUNCOMBE, I Esq., of Copgrove, the Lord of the Manor. On Monday last, as the Rev. GEO. TUBEP. VILLE, Vicar of Hanley Castle, was coining to this city in a gig, the horse commenced kicking near St. John's, and running the gig against a post, Mr. T. was thrown out, and one of his ribs was fractured by the fall. Medical assistance was soon procured, and we are glad to say that the Rev. Gentleman, though in his 80th year, is doing well.— IVorcester Jour. T NEW WORKS, Printed for Longman, Rees, Orme, and Co.

So there is no less than 826 pounds of ham, beef, and cheese, to 500 pounds of bread. Only one halfpenny worth of bread to this enormous amount of sack ! " All this, it appears, was duly washed down with three barrels of ' half- and- half, or porter and ale together— 252 gallons of real unquestionable ! Who after this will question the humanity of the Radicals ? Upwards of four pounds of bread, meat, and cheese to each child, together with four pots and a gill of half- and- half, and a due proportion of nuts and oranges!" The report from which the above items are taken is This annual festival was held on Thursday at St. Paul's Cathedral. The Sermon was preached by Dr. PEARSON, the Dean of Salisbury, from Deuteronomy, chap. xii. v. | 19—" Take heed that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou dwellest upon the earth." The music was the same as that given at the Rehearsal on Tuesday. The anniversary dinner was afterwards held at Merchant Tailors' Hall.— The LORD MAYOR was in the Chair. The cloth having been removed, " Church and King" was given from the chair and received with acclamations. The next toast, " The Queen," was also received with the most lively satisfaction. The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. The toast was then drunk with enthusiasm. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY returned thanks. After several toasts had been drunk, The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the last, viz., " Prosperity to the Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy." In proposing this, however, he was sorry to have to say that the subscriptions of the evening were lamentably deficient. They presented a diminution of 1501. on the amount of the previous year. He felt convinced, however, that at a time when prosperity was smiling on trade and manufactures, the citizens of London would not allow so excellent an institution to be neglected. He was sure that the best energies of the friends of the institution would be directed towards ensuring the payment of the deficiency before long into the treasurer's hands. The toast having been drunk with applause, the Chairman retired, and the company shortly afterwards separated.— The Subscriptions at the doors of the cathedral and at the dinner exceeded 1,0001, Second Edition, caretully Revised and Enlarged.

NEW PATENT.— S. MORDAN and Co. respectfully inform the Public, that his Majesty's Royal Letters Patent have been obtained, bearing date the 23d inst., for an improved method of manufacturing Metallic Pens with Triple points ; this Third Point is considered by scientific men as a. great improvement, and calculated to remedy the evilof the Ink flowing up when the two ordinary Points are opened by the pressure upon the Pen in writing. In the new Triple- Pointed Pen, however, this great evil is completely obviated, for, in- stead of the capillary action being lost, it is doubly reduced by the Third Point presenting itself from above, between the two ordinary Points of the Pen; thus the Ink is again brought down, and even with increased effect- London, April 29.— FOUNTAIN INKSTAND.— S. Mordan and Co. are also manufacturing a Fountain Inkstand, of superior construction, which will obviate the great objections to those already in use.

Until yesterday there was nothing of the slightest moment doing in the Money Market, which was in a great measure deserted by the leading speculators. Yesterday, however, there was considerable business, aud Consols for Money, and lor the Account, left off at 91 % f's, and were done at 915B X ; this latter price was that of this morning, and at the close of business this afternoon, the price was 91 \. Exchequer Bills have been at 12 to 14, and Ipdia Bonds at par, which was the closing price this afternoon. In the Foreign Stock Market there has been a complete panic in Spanish Bonds, which fell yesterday to 43%, and this morning were done as low as 40%. They rallied towards the close, and the last quotation was %. This fluctuation has been caused by the in- telligence from Spain of the resignation of Senor Mendizabal, and the unsettled state of affairs in that quarter, and it has caused some depression in Portuguese Bonds, which have been as low as 83%, and closed at 84% 85, the Three per Cents, left off at 53K- All the Republican Bonds have given way ; Chilian are 47, Columbian 31 and Mexican 34.

Ill Shares there is nothing of moment to notice; Calcutta and Saugur are rather in demand and bear a premium of % ; Stevenson's Brighton are at with a dull market, and Rennie's are at an advanced price, being at 2% per Share. Colonial Bauk Shares are at 14%; in Imperial Brazilian Shares the result of the meeting caused an advance to 39 per Share, and they are now at 35. Preston and Wyre Shares are at 10 pm.; the Gloucester and Hereford Rail- way Shares, which came out this morning, have risen in the course of the day to ^ % % pm.; South Eastern are 3% 4.

The Salamander, steam frigate, has left Woolwich with a quantity of rockets, shells, and ammunition, for San Sebastian, where she is to join the squadron under the command of Commodore Lord J. Hay. George Pal mer, Esq., of Nazing Park, is a candidate for the re- presentation of South Essex, vacant by the death of Mr. Hall Dare. This gentleman's address to the electors will be found in our adver- tising columns. Mr. Abednego Bland, of Culver- street, Colchester, a respectable member of the old Corporation, hung himselfin his stable on Tuesday last. An inquest was held upon the body on the evening of that day, when the jury returned a verdict of " Temporary Derangement." The deceased was 70 years of age.

SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY.— A lady of respectable appearance went into the shop of Messrs. Bailey and Milner, St. Paul's Church- yard, and after purchasing a few articles, asked if they would write fcer a cheque for 81., for which she would give tliem eight sovereigns, 6s she wanted to remit that sum into the country ; and after a little hesitation they wrote her the cheque; but on the banker's returning the cheque, it appears she had altered the date, placed a " y " to the " eight, ' and a cypher to the figure 8, thus making it 801., which was paid. A fact illustrative of the march of peace and good government in Ireland is, that since Lord Mulgrave left Dublin, the Lords Justices have issued nine proclamations for outrages; the rewards in these amount to 3901.

I fancy mankind may come, in time, to write all aphoris- tically, except in narrative; grow weary of preparation, and connexion, ana illus- tration, and all those arts by which a big book is made. If a man is to wait till he weaves anecdotes into a system, we may be long in getting them, and get but few in comparison of what we might get."— Dr. Johnson ( Boswell's Tour.)

INTIMATELY connected as are the interests and Governments of England and Hanover, there does not exist in the English language any history of the latter Kingdom. It has been suggested, that such a Work would be extremely desirable, and that the British People would be glad of extensive and accurate information re- specting a country with which they have been so long and so closely associated ; and whence the Throne of this Empire has derived its present illustrious Dynasty. It is, therefore, proposed to publish a HISTORY of HANOVER. A faithful transcript of its Annals from the earliest period to the present time ; as well as a copious account of its actual state— Religions, Moral, Social, Political, Military, and Civil. Its existing Government, Constitution, Laws, Orders of Nobility and Knighthood. Together with a description of its Manners, Customs. Climate; Natural Productions, Manufactures, Boundaries, Extent, Population, Public In- stitutions, Universities, and ever) 1 other matter connected with the Statistics of that Kingdom. This History— dedicated bv special permission to His Most Gracious Majesty WILLIAM THE FOURTH,' King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and King of Hanover,— will be comprised in Two Volumes, large Octavo, written by THEODORE EDWARD HOOK, Esq., and illustrated by various engravings, from drawings by the most eminent masters. The expense which must inevitably be incurred in the preparation of such a Work renders it necessary, in order to indemnify the Author from loss, to publish it by Subscription. The price to Subscribers will be Three Guineas— Copies on Large Paper, with proof prints, Five Guineas— to be paid at the time of sub- scribing. The Work to ne delivered in the course of a year. Subscriptions will be received at the Banking House of Messrs. Herries, Far quhar, and Co., 16, St. James's street; and by Messrs. Colnaghi, Pall- mall, East.
