The personal anecdotes and disclosures of the secret springs of the most remarkable events, social and political, of the last half century, contained in Sir Nathaniel William Wraxall's " Posthumous Me- moirs," now just published, confer on the work a rare and lasting interest. Sir Nathaniel William's recollections include sketches of the personages who figured in the Court of George III. during its latter period, and in that of the Regent— of the principal Statesmen of the time, and of the fashionable wits and beauties, whose " savings and doings" are recorded in the liveliest vein. In speaking of the persecution which Sir William's former memoirs drew upon him, Sir George Osborn, who held a place in George the Third's family, as one of the grooms of his bedchamber, nearly forty years, thus ex- presses himself in a letter to the author :—" I have yoar first edition here, and have perused it again with much attention. I pledge my name, that I personally know nine parts out of ten of your anecdotes to be perfectly correct. You are imprisoned forgiving to future ages a perfect picture of our time, and as interesting as Clarendon." LITERARY NEWS.— We hear that Mr. Bulwerlias in the press a Tragedy, entitled, The Duchesss de La Valliere, to which is added, One ofthe Crowd, an epistle from Paris to the Right Hon. the Countess of . The talented author of the Two Old Men's Tales intends to publish forthwith the work lately announced, Tales ofthe J foods and Fields. We have been favoured with an early copy, and therefore avail ourselves of the opportunity of giving in our present number the first notice of that very interesting production.— Our readers will be pleased to see that we have also brought before them the very spirited sketches of a resident officer, entitled, Madrid in 1835, yet unpublished. — Miss Stickney's new book, Home, or the Iron Rule; a Domestic Story, is just ready.— The Hon. Augustas Moreton has committed to the press his new work on political economy, entitled, Civilization ; a Brief Analysis of the Natural Laws that regulate the Numbers arul Condition of Mankind.— Mr. Edward Landor's new work, Adventures in the North of Europe, is approaching completion. I twill, we under- stand, contain some original views.— The Rev. Mr. Hoppus, Pro- fessor of Moral Philosophy in the London University, is about to publish the result ofhis observations during his recent tour, Illustra- tive of the Present State of Protestantism on the Continent.— A new edition of Captain Marryat's admirable novel, The King's Own, is among the announcements.— We have been favoured with a slight glance of the early part of Prince Lucien Bonaparte's Memoirs ; and we venture to pronounce, that a more interesting production has not been brought before the public for many years. The sale of this work must be immense.— The Floral Telegraph. Under this title the public will shortly be furnished with a delightful little work, far surpassing in amusement and invention everything that has yet appeared on the subject of floral language.— Metropolitan Magazine. NEW SERIES OF THE OLD MEN'S TALES.— Those who remember the sensation produced by The Old Men's Tales will know what to ex- pect from the appearance of the new series now in course of publica- tion. Speaking of that extraordinary work, the Quarterly Review observed:—" Upon us the impression of those Tales was such as we recollect to have received from the novels which we stole and secretly read in the days of our boyhood; we found them interesting and affecting to a degree which made us begin again to think the serious occupations of lite were weary, stale, flat ana unprofitable." Precaution is in no respect more requisite than with respect to the Female complexion. There are no greater enemies of those distin- guishing traits of Beauty than extreme heat and dust. It is, there- fore, an imperative duty upon all Ladies who value their complexion, in all their rural walks, summer promenades, in the ride, in the drive, and especially when making aquatic excursions, never to be without ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, which is the only guardian of the complexion the deepest research in science ever produced. It will be seen by our advertising columns that M. De Beriot an- nounces his Concert for Thursday next. The high character of the entertainments provided by this eminent professor will no doubt attract a numerous assemblage of rank and fashion. Mr. Bochsa's annual concert takes place on Friday next, on the stage of the King's Theatre, which will be lighted up as for an evening performance. The programme comprises all the first- rate talent now in London; and, amongst several new compositions, is one giving an idea of the " passions " by musical sounds. A ballet and other novelties will be introduced, for the puroose of varying the entertainments, and there can be no doubt of this unrivalled harpist having a house filled in every part. Signor Begrez announces his concert for Wednesday next, under the patronage of the Duchess of Kent, at which, in addition to all the eminent artists at present available, the celebrated guitarist, Giulio Regondi, who has just returned to town, will contribute to the per- formances. A new ballet, the composition ofthe veteran D'Egville, called The Siviss Nuptials, was produced at the Haymarket Theatre on Mon- day. The principal characters werecleverly executed by M. Gilbert, Mesdames Danse, Stephan, < fec., and with some new scenery, and pleasing and light music, it - obtained complete and justly- merited success.— Miss Ellen Tree appeared at this house on Wednesday, as Lady Townly in the Provoked Husband, and was most warmly greeted by the audience. Her performance— as was that of Mr. Vandenhoff a3 Lord Townly— was disinguished alike by talent and discrimination. A new drama, to be called The Ransom, and in which Miss E. Tree will sustain the principal character, is to be produced at the Haymarket Theatre on Thursday next. The Colosseum evening amusements prove highly attractive, the crowds of highly distinguished visitants increasing each night. Among the company who have honoured the morning performance of the Arabs during the last few days, we have noticed the Dukes of Wel lington, Devonshire, and Beaufort; Marquises of Tavistock and Salisbury; Lords Roslyn, Albert I'etre, Manvers, Burghersh; Mar- chioness of Salisbury, Ladies Burghersh, Denbigh, Warburton, Dun- das, Colonel Fielding, Col. Allen, Col. Stuart, Hon. Mr. Jervis, Mr. Praed, Mr. Heathcoate, and a vast assemblage of the haut ton. Mr. Braham has engaged the most wonderful in the world. He is justly entitled to the appellation of the Wooden Paganini. The effect of his performance on simple pieces of wood is incredible. He sets at defiance the execution of a Thalberg or a Moscheles. He commen- ces on Monday evening next at the Colosseum, in the Hall ofMirrors. The Queen's Theatre, which has been entirely re- decorated and fitted up for the purpose, will be opened on Wednesday next, for the performance of French Plavs. Among the company, which has been selected from the principal Parisian Theatres, are M. Laporte and Mile. Irma, who will both appear on the above evening. VAUXHALL GARDENS. — This favourite place of summer resort opened for the season on Friday. The alterations are many and ex- tensive. Besides the concert, the Ravel family are engaged; as also a Monsieur Javelie, whose performances on the tight rope are of the most extraordinary description. These, with some splendid pictoral views, are amongst the most prominent novelties. The gardens pre- sented a most brilliant aspect. Southby's fireworks were in reality " superb." t PARLIAMENTARY ANALYSIS. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONR. tr Their Lordships met this day, but the business transacted was un- important.— The Marquess of " CLAN RICARDE fixed the 9th of June for the second reading of the Roman Catholic Marriages Bill, and the Earl of ROSEBERRY suggested that his Bill for an alteration in the system of Scottish entails should be referred to a select Committee. TUESDAY. The Slavery Abolition ( Jamaica,) Bill was read a second time and committed. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY presented many petitions against the Bishopnck of Durham Bill, and read some letters in proof of the charitable and munificent disposition evinced by the two last Bishops of that diocese. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY bore testimony to the same facts, adding that Bishop Barrington had expended no less a sum than 200,0061. in charity, and that Bishop Va. n Mildert, his suc- cessor, had, if possible, surpassed him in generosity.— The Duke of WELLINGTON also eulogised the character of the Right Rev. Prelates alluded to, but differed from the Noble Marquess on the subject of the Bill, which had been recommended by the Commissioners, to whose appointment he was himselfa party.— The Bill was then read a second time.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY. The House did not assemble this day, but several private Com- mittees proceeded with Railway and other Bills. THURSDAY. Lord MELBOURNE appeared on the Ministerial bench this evening. Lord ELLENBOROUGH inquired whether the time would be extended for returning money borrowed on the security of the rates for pa- rochial buildings, & c.— Lord MELBOURNE said that it was intended to bring forward a measure on the subject. Some conversation took place with reference to a petition pre- sented, and afterwards withdrawn on account of informality, by Lord CLARE. It was from the East India Company, praying for an equa- lisation of the duties on East and West India Sugar.— Lord MEL- BOURNE said the subject was under the consideration of Government, and that if the plan should be found practicable, with a due regard to all the parties concerned, it should be adopted.— Adj. FRIDAY. On the motion for the third reading of a Railway Bill, the Dnke of WELLINGTON suggested a short delay, to give time for preparing a clause, to be inserted in all Railway Bills, giving Parliament a right of periodically revising them,— Lord MELBOURNE, and other Noble Lords, concurred in the propriety of securing to Parliament this periodical revision, and the third reading ofthe Bill was deferred. After a short discussion on some preliminary points the Bishoprick of Durham Bill passed through Committee, and some amendments were made. The report was ordered to be received on Monday, to which day their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY. On the assembling ofthe House the SPEAKER stated that he had received a petition, complaining that the recent return of Mr. Daniel O'Connell for Kilkenny was not a true return.— Among the petitions that were presented were some from the English and Irish Universities, and many from different parts of Ireland, against the annual grant to the Papist College at Maynooth.— Sir ROBERT PEEL presented one that excited some cariosity— it wasfrom one ofthe native Chiefs on the west coast of Africa, praying for the establishment of free trade between his territory and Great Britain. Lord MORPETH having stated, in reply to Lord STANLEY, that he proposed to proceed with the Irish Tithe Bill on Wednesday, if pos- sible, the latter Noble Lord gave notice that he would then move, as an amendment, for leave to bring in aBill for the conversion of tithes into a rent- charge, and for the better distribution of Church revenue in Ireland. The adjourned debate on the petition against Messrs. West and Hamilton, the sitting Members for the city of Dublin, was then resumed. Mr. O'CONNELL spoke at some length, but the ATTORNEY- GENERAL having given a formal opinion against the admissibility of the petition, it was withdrawn. In answer to an inquiry by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. GROVE PRICE said that, in deference to the opinions of his frien is, he would for the present withdraw his motion for expunging from the book the notice given by Mr. O'Connell relative to the so- called reform of the House of Lords. The Hon. Member assigned as the reason for so doing that he understood a technical objection existed that would render it advisable for him not to persist. He would not, however, lose sight of the subject.— Lord J. RUSSELL stated that he was glad the notice was withdrawn, as he must have voted against the motion if per- sisted in; and that he should also deem it to be his duty to resist Mr. O'Connell's motion. The House then went into a Committee of Supply for the voting of the civil contingencies, which were all agreed to.— The expenses of the Poor Law Commissioners for the year were also voted; they amount to a fraction under 50,0001.— Adjourned. TUESDAY. Some private business having been despatched, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, for the purpose of affording the House an opportunity of expressing its opinion on the subject, moved an Address to the Throne, praying the Royal intercession with the French Government on behalf of the Prince de Polignac and his unfortunate fellow- sufferers. In the course of his speech the Hon. Member said— He would ask any man ( let his politics be what they might) to point out, unless vengeance were his object, what was to be gained by this imprisonment ? What were the dangers to be apprehended from an immediate and generous remission of the sentence ? For, if he had been correctly informed, if liberty were restored to Polignac and his colleagues to- morrow, age, infirmity, and disease, generated by the pestilential climate of their prisons, had brought them so close to the brink of the grave that all they could hope for— all they desired— was to be permitted to con- clude in peace and charity, but in the enjoyment of liberty and of the society of friends, those few remaining days that belonged to their ill- fated existence. ( Hear hear.)— Lord J. RUSSELL expressed sym- pathy for the situation of those captives, but submitted that it was a subject on which the Ministers could not advise his Majesty to inter- fere ; and Lord PALMERSTON objected to the Address as an unwar- rantable interference in the domestic affairs of another Power!— After expressions of sympathy from other Members, Mr. DUNCOJIBE with- drew his motion, stating that its chief object had been to call forth the opinion of that House, and that he should content himselfwith the expression of opinion that had been given. Lord JOHN RUSSELL postponed, till Thursday week, the conside- ration ofthe Lords'amendments on the Irish Corporations Bill. Mr. BANNERMAN moved for certain returns, to show the hardships inflicted on officers of the army and navy from the continued post- ponement ofthe customary brevet- promotion.— Several Hon. Mem- bers joined in the discussioD ; and both sides of the House concurred in reprobating the inadequacy of the encouragement afforded to the two services.— The motion was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought forward the question of the Jewish disabilities, but, instead of moving for a Bill, proposed a Committee.— Sir R. INGLIS and other Members resisted thedoctrine of allowing persons of any creed, or no creed, to be qualified for seats in a Christian Legislature.— After a division of 70 against 19, the House went into Committee, and a resolution, to serve as the basis of the proposed Bill, was agreed to and reported.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY. Some petitions were presented, praying the House not to adopt the Lords' Amendments to the Municipal Corporations ( Ireland) Bill.— Sir GEO. SINCLAIR observed on the efforts made to raise a " hue and cry" for these petitions, and denied that the people's sen- timents on this subject were exactly what some persons wished to represent them. Lord J. RUSSELL, previously to moving the order of the day on the Irish Church Bill, asked Lord Stanley the object of his proposed amendment.— Lord STANLEY answered that it was, as his notice inti- mated, for leave to bring in a new Bill on the subject, and he proposed that the Government Bill should be postponed for three weeks, to afford an opportunity for judging of the comparative merits of both measures.— Lord J. RUSSELL declined to acquiesce in this arrange- ment, and, having moved the second reading of the Church of Ireland Bill, Lord STANLEY proposed his amendment, which was for leave to bring in a Bill " for the conversion of tithe composition into rent- charges; for the redemption thereof; and for the better distribution of ecclesiastical revenues in Ireland." He supported this motion in a speech of great length, moderation, clearness, earnest feeling, and eloquence. He detailed very fully the several measures that had been proposed respecting tithes and the Church of Ireland. He then described the three objects of his Bill, setting forth that he calculated 01. That surplus he proposed to be Commissioners, and to be appro- priated in equalizing the glaring inequalities that existed in many jiarts of the Irish Church Establishment, and parti- cularly in cities and towns ; and where there was conside- rable population he would have no income less than 3001. a year— an amount fixed by former measures of the Government. Where the incomes in populous places were above 5001., he would have them diminished, or the parishes divided, and one or more additional Clergymen appointed. The Commissioners to be pro- hibited from augmenting beyond 3001. The leading object of his measure was to provide for the Protestant parishioners— it was not to secure luxurious livings to the Clergy. He strongly urged the Government to recede from that false position on this subject to which they had unfortunately bound themselves, and to consider the measure which he proposed, as he had reason to believe that it would secure that concurrence elsewhere " which never will and never can be conceded to the abstract principle [ of appropriation] contained in the Bill ofthe Government."— Lord J. RUSSELL resisted the amend- ment, viewing it as neither more nor less than a mode of resisting the principle of the Bill, the second reading of which he had moved — a principle that did not contemplate the advantage only of the few, " but of the whole people, including the outlawed 6,000,000 of Roman Catholics." The amendment, he contended, left out of consideration three- fourths of the Irish people; while his Bill, the principle of which had received the repeated sanction of a great majority of the House, embraced the benefits and the religious and moral education of all. He observed that the Government's notion of a Church was, that it was not for the propagation of a doctrine, but for the instruc- tion of a people.— Mr. GLADSTONE, in a most admirable speech, argued that Lord John Russell's proposition was not true, or that, if true, it told strongly in condemnation of his Bill. The Ministerial measure, it was obvious, appropriated to the purposes of instruction not a sixth part of what it left for those objects that the Noble Lord would not admit to be legitimate.— After speeches from Mr. LEFROY, Mr. BUXTON, Mr. POULTER, Mr. H. GRATTAN, and Mr. HARDV ( the latter of whom, in a forcible and impressive address, deprecated the attacks made upon the Protestant Church in Ireland), the debate- was adjourned. THURSDAY. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE having presented petitions for inquiry into the causes of Col. Bradley's dismissal from the army, stated that he should postpone his motion for a Select Committee to inquire into the case, until the arrival of Colonel Arthur in this country, as he under- stood that he ( Col. Arthur) was now on his way home. The adjourned debate on the question of the second reading of the Church of Ireland Bill, and Lord Stanley's amendment, was re- sumed, Mr. BARRON opening the debate.— Mr. GALLEY KNIGHT fol- lowed, and spoke in favour of Lord Stanley's amendment.— Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN supported the original motion for the second reading of the Bill.— Mr. W. ROCHE also supported the second reading.— Mr. W. YOUNG contended that so strong a measure as that involved in the appropriation clause required the utmost attention of the Legis- lature, and for that reason he was against the Bill, and for the amend- ment.— A long discussion followed, in which Mr. MACLEAN, Lord MORPETH, Mr. L. BULWER, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and others took parts ; after which the question was again adjourned. FRIDAY. The adjourned debate on the Irish Tithe Bill was resnmed by Mr. Serjeant JACKSON, who, in a comprehensive speech of more than three hours' duration, reviewed the various arguments that had been urged on the subject, and concluded by stating his belief that, how- ever it might be sought to disguise the fact, the success of the Minis- terial measure must involve the destruction of the Church in Ireland. — Mr. G. H. WARD, Mr. D. W. HARVEY, and Mr. O'CONNELL seve- rally addressed the House; after which Sir ROBERT PEEL rose, and in a speech at once argumentative and brilliant, applied himself to the refutation of Lord J. RUSSELL'S proposition on tlie duties of a Church Establishment; to exposing the errors of Lord Morpeth's calculations, and to pointing out the signal failure of a former prophecy of Mr. Sheil as a reason for withholding confidence from his predictions on the present occasion. In evidence before a Committee of the House that Honourable Member had stated that the granting of Roman Catholic Emancipation would effectually put an end to agitation in Ireland, and that for himself, at least, ' he could promise that after- such an event he would take no further part in politics. ( The Right Hon. Baronet sat down amidst loud and long continued cheering.)— After a speech from Mr. S. RICE, a division took place. The num- bers were— For the Bill of Lord Morpeth, 300; for that of Lord Stanley, 261; Majority for ministers, 39.— Adjourned. WAR OFFICE, June 3, 1836. SGOts Fusilier Guards.— Lieut. Lord W.

The Post says:— Mr. HUME, M. P. took the chair. Amongst the gentlemen present we observed Mr. Warburton, General Palmer, M. P., Mr. Potter, M. P., Mr. B. O'Meara, Mr. Murray, Sir J. S. Lillie, Mr. Attwood, M. P., Mr. Bish, M. P., Mr. OtwavCave, M. P., Mr. Fergusson, M. P., Colonel Hodges, Dr. Fellowes, Mr. Bruce, Mr. C. Hector, M. P. Hon. L. Stanhope, Mr. S. Crawford, M. P., Mr RigbyWason, M. P., < fcc. & c. The subscriptions are announced in the Whig- Radical papers as amounting to 3,0001. We notice in the list of subscribers the name of Mr. HUME and others who are notorious for putting down their names to subscriptions ( the Greek loan for instance) as decoy ducks. The amount is made up of large sums, which looks suspicions, and is a proof besides that the middle classes take but little interest in this affair. We see that Mr. HUME, in addition to the example of his 501. subscription, inflicted a homily on this class of society upon the duty of coming forward on the occasion. The middle and lower classes know, however, that what they pay towards such vagaries is never returned to them either " in meal or in malt." If Mr. O'CON- NELL should realise anything like the 3,0001. now paraded before the eyes of the innocent community, he will certainly be the most lucky beggar that ever carried a wallet. — In the course of the proceedings, the deserted child of Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL stood forward and attempted to address the meeting, but was speedily expelled by the friends of his father. Towards the con- clusion of the affair, however, the unfortunate youth again presented himself to the notice of the meeting, when he was assailed with yells and hisses from all parts ofthe room. A general rush was made towards the platform, and it was only by the efforts of some conside- rate by- standers that the youth was protected from blows, and conveyed away in safety. Mr. W. Cobbett, son of the late Member for Oldham, was dis- charged on Friday by the Insolvent Debtors' Court. His debts amounted to 1,585/. 6s. 8d. Mr. Cobbett attributed his insolvency to his having entered into engagements, principally with Mr. Bur- nell, his detaining creditor, previously to August last, when an in- junction of the Court of Chancery had been issued against him, as executor ofthe estate ofhis late father, at the suit of Jesse Oldfield. The Insolvent claimed against the estate of his father 1,058/. H believed his father's property would produce a surplus of 15,000/, SMALL V.

VS ] T ONDON, SHOREHAM, and BRIGHTON RAILWAY, WITHOUT A TUNNEL.— The Provisional Committee feel it to be their duty to the Shareholders to guard them against the operation of reports industriously spread by interested parties prejudicial to this undertaking, and to repeat the observations made by Counsel, in the Parliamentary Committee, that an affirmative vote upon the single question proposed, by one only, of the numerous resolutions passed by the Select Committee of the House of Commons, on Railway Bills, is not the carrying of a Bill for a Brighton Railway. And the Provisional Committee feel satisfied that no Railway, devoted principally to passengers, can ultimately receive complete legislative sanction with the nuisance of tunnels, while there is even one line without that annoyance, and knowing further that many Members of the House of Commons are' decidedly hostile to any Railway- that has a tunnel. The Provisional Committee reiterate their pledge to the Shareholders, that, no exertions shall be wanting on their part to further the com- pletion of the undertaking, and to state to Parliament the strong and just grounds they have for the sanction and preference of the House.

The Provisional Committee of this Railway announce, that since the rejection at the Public Meetings at Romsey and Southampton of the Line proposed under the name of " The Hampshire and Wiltshire Junction Railway," and the adop- tion at those Meetings of this Company, the Share List has been rapidly filling, and is now nearly complete.

Deposit, £ 2 per Share. The Provisional Committee are proceeding with the necessary arrangements connected 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 Ports- mouth by the most direct and practicable line, as they have throughout acted under the conviction that any other or more circuitous line must only entail on the passengers and transit of goods, between those places, additional cost of con- veyance in proportion to the extra length adopted, without any corresponding benefit being derived. The Promoters of, and the Provisional Committee of Management of this under- taking abstain from fully publishing the measure, until the results of the surveys will enable them to lay the exact route of the mainline itself, and of the re- spective branches, in detail before the public, so that efficient means of investi- gation may be afforded, which can alone secure public support and the sanction of the Legislature. The proposed Direct line, which will pass through Guildford and Godalming, was submitted to the attention of a Public Meeting, held at Guildford on the 25th instant, at which the Mayor, John Smallpiece, Esq., presided, when a Com- mittee of the inhabitants of that borough was appointed to take into con- sideration the best means of securing Guildford and Godalming the advantages of such mode of communication. Any information required may in the meantime be obtained at the Offices of the Company, 7, John- street, Adelphi, where applications for Shares, wiRbe received, if by letter, post paid ; and also to the Company's Agent at Portsmouth, J. N. Robinson, Esq.; or at Portsea, to Archibald Low, Esq., Solicitor. J. MILLER, Secretary. STANDING COUNSEL— Benjamin Rotch, Esq. SOLICITORS— James Vallance, Esq.; A. H. Macdougall, Esq. ^ SECRETARIES— Wm. Green, Esq.; Colin Smith, Esq. The Provisional Directors feel it necessary to inform the Subscribers that they have deemed it advisable to alter the terminus of the proposed Railway from Dover to Ramsgate. The line will pass through Rochester, Canterbury, and other large towns in the county of Kent, and thus connect the metropolis with Ramsgate in a manner most advantageous to the public. The opinion of a Committee of the House of Commons on the proposed line is fully expressed in their report to the House, which states, that " it appears to be a line which, as connecting the port of Ramsgate and other large towns in the county of Kent, with London, and showing public advantages, may, for such purposes, entitle it to consideration." On this suggestion, the Directors have, after mature deliberation, Tesolved to make Ramsgate the terminus of their line ; and they do so under a firm conviction that its growing importance as a harbour, and the ready access which is from thence afforded to a wide range of the opposite coasts of France and the Nether- lands, amply entitle it to participate, thus prominently, in the improved system of communication now in course of adoption throughout the country. In other respects the proposed enterprise presents no material variation from the plan originally submitted to the public. Running through a cultivated and densely peopled country, embracing in its course the Government depot at Chatham, and communicating, by branches, with the towns of Maidstone and Sheerness, its ad- vantages, as well in a national as in a commercial point of view, are too obvious to require comment, while the degree of local estimation in which it is held may be collected from the number and respectability of the Provincial Committees formed expressly to support it. As an investment for capital, the Directors conceive that this undertaking may vie with any similar project; for when it is borne in mind that the transit of pas- sengers lias been proved before a Committee of the House of Commons to be the most lucrative branch of railway revenue, and that, excluding all other modes of conveyance, upwards of 900,000 individuals passed, during last year, by water, between London, Gravesend, Margate, and Ramsgate alone, some idea may be formed of the extent to which returns may fairly be expected to repay the con- struction of a Railroad through districts already abounding in every description of traffic, which an increased facility of intercourse is calculated to augment. The Capital required to carry into effect this great national work is estimated at ^ 2,000,000 sterling, the greater part of which has been provided by the arrange- ment under which the property and interest of the late London and Gravesend and London and Dover Companies have been transferred to the present enterprise. It remains for the Directors, therefore, only to add, that Mr. James Walker having undertaken to complete all the surveys, the Subscribers may confide in the selec- tion of the most eligible line, and in the establishment of a case for the ensuing Session of Parliament, presenting, in every respect, the strongest claims to legis- lative protection and support. N. B. Copies of this Prospectus, with Lists of the Provincial Committees at- tached, may be obtained on application at the Company's Offices, 76, Cornhill. The Shares will be appropriated on Wednesday, tlie 15th of June. " T% TOTICE to SHAREHOLDERS in the late LONDON and GRAVESEND and LONDON and DOVER RAILWAY COMPANIES, Secretaries.

The reputation of the Blaenevon Iron, and the well- known succe.- s of these Works during a period of forty years, sustain for this undertaking the character of a legitimate and lucrative investment. An investigation of the books during a period of extreme depression, and a cal- culation based upon the prices of Iron for fifteen years ( since 1821), justify a con- fident expectation of an annual dividend of 10 per cent.; but if the prosperity of the Iron trade continues, a much larger dividend will be realised. The Shareholders will be entitled to the profits from Midsummer next, so that a dividend may be expected at Christmas, 1836. Applications for Shares in writing ( post paid) will be received by Jas. Ashwell, Esq., at the Office of the Company, No, 4, Adam's- court, Broad- street, where Prospectuses with additional particulars may be obtained.

The- object of this Company is to form an asylum and commercial harbour between the Great and Little Ormes Heads on the coast of North Wales, com- municating by a railway through Flint, Chester, & c., with the Grand J unction Railway between Liverpool and Birmingham. By means of a pier extending from the Great Ormes Head, made at a reason- able outlay, the material being on the spot, a most magnificent and spacious har- bour will be formed, which, as a comparatively free commercial port will possess immense advantages, besides avoiding the expensive and dangerous approach to the Mersey. As an asylum harbour for the shipping of Liverpool, it will also be of incalcu- lable value, as from its situation, depth of water, and gafe anchorage, vessels of the largest size, in all weathers, and at any time of tide, may run in and anchor at safety. Jt will be the most direct communication between Dublin and London, and must eventually become the Irish and American packet station.

The Directors of the Kent Railway Company having fixed Wednesday, the 15th of June, for appropriating the Shares in that undertaking, such holders of Graves- end or Dover Shares as may have ommitted to send in their applications are re- quested to inform the Secretaries, by letter, on or before that date, whether, and to what extent, they are desirous of augmenting their interest in the new Com - pany.

The observations upon " The Lords and the People," next week. lOII BULL. LONDON, JUNE O. THEIR MAJESTIES honoured Ascot Races with their pre- sence on Tuesday and Thursday, and the reception they met with upon those occasions must have been most particularly gratifying. We never remember a more cordial, we should say more enthusiastic, greeting given by the PEOPLE to their MONARCH and his Consort, than that of the two days to which we refer. The KING may confidently rely upon the affections of his PEOPLE; every day and every hour adds to the distrust and unpopularity of his MAJESTY'S Ministers, and we are con- vinced that the peculiarly strong feeling expressed at Ascot during the last week, was specially excited under the con- viction that, however false and hollow the Ministers are, the KING is true to the COUNTRY— while this conviction lasts, aud lasts justly, neither the intrigues of a pauper Cabinet, nor the offensive insults of a Popish faction, can harm us. Round the KING, the COUNTRY will rally, and we never saw stronger indications of genuine loyalty to the Kingly office and the Royal person than on Ascot Heath, when the SOVEREIGN passed graciously and unostentatiously amongst his affectionate subjects. WE cannot commence our observations 011 the debate in the House of Commons during the latter part of the past week, which has decided the fate of the Protestant Church— nay, of Protestantism itself', in Ireland, better than by first quoting the words of the oath taken by every Roman Catholic Member of the Legislature upon entering either House:— " I do swear that I will defend to the utmost of my power the settlement of property within the realm, as established by law; and I do hereby disclaim, disavow, and solemnly abjure any intention to subvert the present Church Establishment as settled by law within the realm ; and I do solemnly swear that I never will exercise any privilege to which I am, or may be- come, entitled to disturb or weaken the Protestant Religion, or Protestant Government in the United Kingdom; and [ do solemnly, ancl in the presence of God, profess, testify, and de- clare, that I do make this declaration in the plain and ordinary sense of the words of this oath, and without any evasion, equi- vocation., or mental reservation whatever! So help me GOD !" We would wish this oath to be noted most seriously by every honest Protestant in the empire; it should bind men's consciences, one would imagine— but alas! as there is no limit to human cupidity, so is there no subtlety too refined to serve as an excuse for cupidity's companion hypocrisy! But to the debate on the Irish Church. Lord STANLEY'S Amend- ment to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S motion for the second reading of the Government Bill ( the Protestant extirpation tendency of which needs not now be described, for Ministers themselves have confessed it, as we shall show presently) was to this effect:— For leave to bring in a Bill for the Com- mutation of Tithe into a Land- tax, for the redemption of that Land- tax, and the more equal distribution of Church incomes. Lord STANLEY calculated ( from data supplied by Government) that, by his plan, provision might be made for rural livings, at the rate of not exceeding 3001. per annum; and for town livings at a rate not exceeding 4001. or 5001. per annum, — giving an average of 700 Protestants to each incumbency, and about 25 square miles. We may observe, en passant, that there is no provision for the redemption of tithe in the Minis- terial Spoliation Bill,-— and that it forcibly screws out a surplus, by knocking down nearly 300 Protestant parishes ! To say that Lord STANLEY'S speech was characterised by reasoning, clear deduction, and burning eloquence, is not to give it its highest character. It was redolent of a deep and holy devotion to the Protestant Church which inspired his oratory, and which caused him to give, to the defence of his faith and its persecuted Ministers, all the chivalry of his name, and all the brilliant powers of his genius ! Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S attempt at a reply to Lord STAN- LEY was worthy of the cause espoused by O'CONNELL'S crea- ture. Yet we must do the Noble Lord the justice to allow that he was more than ordinarily explicit in his explanations of his views, and more than usually obedient to his Dictator. One of his first sentences showed the prostration of liis posi- tion, when he stooped to borrow the raving expressions of Mr. O'CONNELL:—" We are here," exclaimed a Minister of the Crown, " to represent the interests of the whole people, and amongst all others, that outlawed portion of the community, six millions of Irish Catholics." Well might Mr. O'CONNELL and his followers almost yell with delight at hearing this. " We are six millions," was re- echoed by the Secretary of State of King WILLIAM IV. ! but " outlawed." Does the presence of some thirty- six Roman Catholic Members of the House of Commons show that they are outlaws ? Perhaps it does ;— but outlaws to what ? We will not say; we merely point to the oath which heads this article, and leave our readers to form their own conclusions! His Lordship next boldly threw the Protestant religion over- board:—" It would well become the Roman Catholics, as parents, to consider when this sum of three or four hundred thousand pounds came to be voted by the House to the Church, what benefit they or their children were to derive from the proposed appropriation of so large a sum of money to any specific purpose."' Very pretty advice to the " outlawed six millions" from the head of the Home Department, i. e., the Conservator of the internal peace of the empire! His Lordship too, was original; we always thought that the Church had been possessed of the three or four hundred thousand pounds without the vote of the House— but that the House wished, not to appropriate to it " so large a sum," but to appropriate it from it, and for the " specific purpose" of giving it to the Roman Catholics ! The whole sentence is a specimen of most pitiful misrepresentation, not made a whit better by his Lordship, as he expressed him- self, thus " putting the question at once upon its proper foot- ing :"—" The House is called on to vote this money out of the surplus of the Church, not for the propagation of a creed, but for the purpose of instruction of a people." The " House voting money to the Church!" again, out of a " surplus" too, which does not, cannot exist without destroy- ing that Church altogether ! But tile words we would call attention to are the latter part of the sentence. Reader — religious reader, look at it! According to the KING'S Mi- nisters, the " propagation" of the pure truths of the unclosed, unsealed BOOK of GOD, the " propagation of the creed," in comparison with which the world's wisdom is folly, and without which the world's wealth is chaff-— according to the KING'S Ministers, this is NOT " the instruction of a people !" My Lord JOHN RUSSELL, we thank you; we know you now— we understand you now— there is, there can be " no mistake" here ! Well do Mr. MACLEAN'S words ( relative to Mr. BARRON'S argument, that PLATO, ARISTOTLE, SOCRA- TES, CICERO, BOSSUET, or FENELON could not agree upon what was " truth,") apply to Lord J. RUSSELL :—" Some of them found not truth, they could not find it— from them it was hidden ; but there is a place, and one alone, in which, if the Hon. Member continues his researches, he will assuredly find it— THE BIBLE." But we have said enough about this wretched leader of the Anti- Protestant party. He looked and spoke as if he felt how pitiably he was situated. He floundered on— quoted WAR- BURTON and PALEY, to show that the term " National Church" meant " the Church of the majority of the Empire," and then, as if afraid of having let slip too much pro- Popery, he said he did not mean to apply this principle to Ireland ! Next, he hit upon the Municipal Reform Bill for Ireland, and roused the hungry sympathies of the Tail, by picturing to them the melancholy starvation which would result from losing all the patronage given by it— lashing their fears into the very insanity of famine, by hinting, that if he could not get both these Bills he should resign, as having nothing to give them ! Mr. FOWELL BUXTON spoke for the Ministerial Bill, and concluded by saying, that he had heard enough of the sec- tarianism which pervaded the new Irish Education Board ( it allows the Mavnooth Bible, the next book will be Dens' Theology) to induce him not to vote for it.— The venerable twaddle about the persecuting spirit of Protestants uttered by the Member for Weymouth, drew from Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE the remark, that he had forgotten to mention " the bloody re- taliation of the Roman Catholics." Mr. F. BUXTON'S me- memory did not carry him so far back as thirty- eight years, to the days of Scullabogue and Wexford- bridge !— His putting it to the " honour and faith" of the Roman Catholics not to use the advantages they have gained, showed his innocence to be equal to his historical knowledge ! Mr. W. BARRON deserves our thanks for at least speaking out— it is impossible to misunderstand the Hon. Member for Waterford in his assault upon the Irish Church, equally im- possible to understand how he can calmly think upon the OATH, above written ! His attack upon Lord STANLEY, being personal, was, of course, very proper and very Tailish. " The people of Ireland," said Mr. BARRON, " liked his ( Sir R. PEEL'S) straightforward and manly manner, but they did not like or respect the paltry creature who went about seeking to undo what he formerly did— to undermine those with whom he had formerly acted, and whom he still affected to call his noble and honourable friends." The " paltry creature," i. e. Lord STANLEY, will surely sink under this— it is too severe.'— " To undo what he formerly did !"— why,. Lord STANLEY' quitted the Ministry, rather loan join them in " doing formerly" what, for the weal of this Protestant country, he implores them now to unclo. Lord STANLEY" quitted office, power, and friends, rather than make his conscience subservient to his ambition— Lord STANLEY endured taunts and sarcasm, rather than lay his honour a sacrifice on the altar of mob- courting expediency— Lord STANLEY7 gave up all the allurements of place, rather than be a traitor to the religion he professes and the country which he loves ! If he is courteous to his former colleagues, it is because he is a Gentleman as well as Noble; and " paltry creature" though he maybe, in the sight of those whose chi- canery he exposes, and whose unprincipled fellowship he shuns, Lord STANLEY will ever enjoy the homage of the respect and gratitude of his country, to a degree which Mr. BARRON, aud such as he, can neither comprehend nor appreciate ! Mr. E. L. BUIWER'Sstring of Pelhamic Euphorisms, mixed up now and then with a little of Paul Clifford's classic slang, may be passed by with two remarks. He said, that no " measure can be final, because Governments are of the day, and people are immortal"— which immortal verbiage would justify any breach of faith, any violation Of pledges, and must there- fore be peculiarly acceptable to Mr. SHEIL, who, from 1825 to 1829, was perpetually pledging himself to cease from agita- tion, from " politics altogether" even, out of gratitude for the full and final measure of Catholic emancipation ! Mr. E. BULWER also condescended to show that he had looked into the New Testament, and to tell us that the Protestant Clergy were Iscariots, for it was not CHRIST, but JUDOS, who took pieces ofsilver as theprice of blood." The analogy is beyond our reach ; how a Clergyman asking for his due. is tlie betrayer ofblood, we cannot comprehend; though Mr. O'CONNELL, by his vociferous cheers, appeared to relish the illustratipn. He never yet excited and betrayed to blood, and took " pieces of silver," aye, and of copper too, as the reward of his services— he is unsoiled by the tarnish of lucre- love— he is well qualified to judge a JUDAS ! Mr. MACLEAN deserves our thanks for his exposition of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S abandonment of his former opinions. How can Lord JOHN RUSSELL listen to these, his own re- corded words ?—" It was happy for the country that Queen ELIZABETH found it her interest to embrace the Protestant religion, and that by the foolish, as well as atrocious plots of the Roman Catholics, she was forced to cultivate still more strongly the affections of the Protestant party. Boast as we may of our Constitution, had Queen ELIZABETH been a Roman Catholic, or JAMES II. a Protestant, there would have been no liberty in England." How can Lord JOHN RUSSELL— bah ! we waste words in supposing him incapable of abandoning anything, excepting place ! Lord MORPETH was unusually felicitous in mouthy no- things. He satisfactorily proved that nineteen- twentieths of property in Ireland belonged to Protestants, and that the Roman Catholics do not pay above two- and- a- half per cent, of the whole tithe! We,' are happy to say that his efforts to destroy the Protestant Church were considered so satisfactory by the Papists, that Mr. O'CONNELL went up to the Treasury Bench, and shook hands with his Lordship when he sat down ! Sir JAMES GRAHAM nobly vindicated his manly and truly English character from the attacks of those who feel and fear his eloquence. But we cannot go through his speech for want of space; and for the same reason must we pass by Mr. Ser- jeant JACKSON'S brilliant and searching arguments." We can- not, however, pass by without some remark, the very curious speech of Mr. D. W. HARVEY. Mr. IIARVEY at once declared himself an enemy to all Esta- blishments, and then proceeded to say that, which must have been anything but agreeable to those pseado Protestants who follow in the wake of Lord J. RUSSELL and Mr. O'CONNELL:— " Differing from the Noble Lord, the Member for North Lan- cashire— differing also, as I do, from the Government on this of the Established Church, if I believed in its importance, its essentiality, its Christian obligation as a civil institution, I should have no hesitation— I should not pause for an instant, in selecting the Bill proposed by the Noble Lord."— How those Right Honourable and Honourable Gentlemen, who do be- lieve, ox pretend they believe, in the " importance, essentiality, and Christian obligation of the Established Church"— how they liked Mr. HARVEY'S observations, we neither know nor care— the feelings of such persons must be dead to censure, and therefore not worth analysing. But Mr. HARVEY' hit right and left;— having exposed the apostacy of the Whig Protestant, he instantly laid bare the hypocrisy of the Whig Papist. " It is utterly impossible for any conscientious Catholic to say he is satisfied with a mea- sure the avowed object of which was to perpetuate ( he Protes- tant Establishment. If I were a Catholic, and if I avowed this, I should feel that I exposed myself to the charge of in- sincerity and hypocrisy!" Little" did Mr". O'CONNELL like this straightforward charge- as little the accusation that he and his " forty heads" had pro- posed " no substantial relief for Ireland, although they pre- tended to entertain such deep sympathies for the Irish people." He rose like a man demented— he attacked everything and everybody— quoted some blasphemous doggrel of some would- be witty Papist— and remembering his former epithet applied to a speech put into the King's mouth by them who are still his Majesty's Ministers, this mercenary Agitator had the audacity to call the Opposition themselves " men of bloods Even Speaker ABERCROMBY was roused at this, and the great libeller was rebuked. Still he raved on, " pouring " out his soul," as he called it, and concluded his gallimaufry of imploring imprecations, threats, entreaties, until his in- tended sublime became excitingly ridiculous, by leaving the House!— He did not like to face Sir ROBERT PEEL'S castiga- tion, and like a political incendiary of old " abiit, evasit,. empil."' As to the speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL, it is impossible to speak of it in adequate terms of praise, admiration, and gratitude. Late as he rose, the House listened as if charmed, and whether we consider the minute dissection of Lord MOR- PETH'S fallacious calculations, the withering sarcasm of his reminding the House that they paid their door- keepers and messengers better than they proposed to remunerate a Pro- testant Clergyman— the deep and touching pathos with which he described the Minister of the Gospel, who, " having been deprived of every shilling of tithe, but being blessed by GOD with sons ashamed to beg but not ashamed to dig, eked out his miserable existence with the potatoes raised by the sweat of his children's brows;"— whether we re- gard the masterly exposure of the deep hypocrisy of Mr. SHEIL, and other Roman Catholics, or the probing severity of his reminding the poor degraded Ministers of their engagement to O'CONNELL, or the magnificent and heart- searching peroration of the whole speech— splendid as have been Sir ROBERT PEEL'S previous efforts— great as have been his prior claims upon the gratitude and homage of his country: — he has added a brighter wreath to his fame— he has more firmly bound to him the hearts of all, by this his latest triumph ! Triumph do we call it? Yes! the majority against him was only thirty- nine .' About the number of those whose reading of the OATH they took, as Roman Catholic Members, permitted them to vote for the destruction of the Protestant Church ! We have done! We have been, perhaps, lengthy; but what an exciting subject lias occupied our attention! In quitting it for the present, we do so in the fullest conviction that, owing to the glorious exertions of a PEEL, a STANLEY, a GRAHAM, and their patriot supporters, the course of our beloved country is not yet run; HER ALTAR IS NOT YET DESECRATED— HER PROTESTANT THRONE WILL YET BE SAVED! ON Tuesday Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE moved in the House of Commons for an Address to the Throne to beseech his MA- JESTY to interpose his good offices with the King of the FRENCH in favour of the prisoners at Ham. Mr. DUNCOMBE ably and eloquently exhibited the true character of revolu- tionary movements, and skilfully exposed the protestations of mock patriots while struggling for power, with their conduct when that power was attained. Truly indeed did Mr. DUN- COMBE say that the barbarities inflicted upon the unhappy noblemen and gentlemen had so reduced their health and strength that the boon he would ask for them, amounted to little beyond a permission to close their wretched lives at liberty— most powerfully did he depict the characteristic revengefulness of successful usurpers, and the meanness, as well as cruelty, of continuing the incarceration of Ministers, whose successors have advised and carried measures of a ten- fold more arbitrary and absolute character than those for which they have so long suffered. " It was," said Mr. DUNCOMBE, " notorious that the fortress of Ham was situated in the most unhealthy part of France. It appeared, however, that the inconveniences of its position were not considered a sufficient punishment, as a smaller prison had been erected within it, in which the prisoners were confined. 1 hey had no opportunity of exercise, except upon an elevated terrace about 30 paces in length,, exposed to the cold in winter, and with no shelter from the heat in summer. They were obliged to take their meals alone, and though some persons were occasionally admitted to visit them, yet at 5 o'clock every day they were recommitted to their dungeons, and under no circumstances of affliction or sickness was any one allowed to ap- proach them to alleviate their distress. ( Cries of " Hear.") Now, he would put it to the House and public whether persecution like this was necessary to the ends of national justice, whether it did not savour much more of revenge ? And if so, he thought that the same feeling which had prompted them to address their allies on a former occasion in the language of congratulation, should induce them now to advise the French people to temper justice with clemency, and to tell that nation that the lustre of theirfar- famed revolution ! would be tarnished in the eyes of posterity by such needless cruelty as this." After showing that the course he proposed was justified by precedents, the Honourable Gentleman moved for the Ad- dress. The motion was opposed by the Radicals— which is not at all surprising— their sympathy with the political feel- ings of enlightened France naturally led them to admire the revivification of the horrors of the Bastile, and the principle of crushing or tormenting anything that once was great and still is good, is so congenial to the whole tribe, that the mere fact of M. DE POLIGNAC being a Prince, a man of honour, a kind husband, and an affectionate father, would of itself be quite enough to set the Liberals into full howl against him. But, besides these, Lord PALMERSTON opposed the motion, with a candour of expression and suavity of man- ner which would not have disgraced the most jessamy shop- at Waterloo House. His Lordship praised Mr. DUN man COMBE'S feelings and motives— admitted the cruelty of the protracted confinement of the State prisoners at Ham— thought subject, I must at the same time say, that if Iivasan advocate the case one of great hardship, and that their continued ill June 5. JOHN BULL. 1* 1 carceration was extremely unlike what might be expected from French generosity and chivalrous feeling; BUT— mark the but—" But, lie hoped the House would not forget that it could take 110 step so inexpedient, and, he might even add, so dangerous, as to ask the King of ENGLAND, by address, to interfere with the domestic concerns of another country.'''' This really seems to us to be carrying the joke a little too far— to hear this caution given by the Noble Viscount, who, during the whole period of his Liberalism, Whiggism, and Radicalism, has been incessantly engaged in dabbling with the " domestic concerns'" of every country with which there has been a possibility of meddling, is more than could have been hoped or looked for. Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Greece, all own the genial influence of his Lordship's generous interfer- ence. One of these is reduced to beggary, two of them are in a state of rebellion and civil war, and the fourth is in a po- sition little more enviable ; while, to support the principle of " non- interference with their domestic concerns," thousands and thousands, and eventually millions of money, are being expended wastefully, and oceans of blood shed needlessly, to secure misery for our foreign friends, and disgrace and dis- honour for the character of our own country. Lord JOHN RUSSELL made a speech, in order to do two or three things— one, to show that he was thought something of in Paris at the time of the " far- famed Revolution ;"' another, to tell the " snobs," upon whose favour he is now prepared to exist, that he > jas the respected of LAFAYETTE, the Republican; and the third, to terrify them into respect aud admiration, by informing them that although he wrote to that eminent and re- spectable citizen, to say he would call upon him, in order to preserve Prince POLIGNAC, by giving the said citizen some of his Lordship's advice, LAYFETTE would not permit his Lordship to take so much trouble, but paid Aim a visit upon the occasion. All this may be very true, aud we dare say it is, because although Lord JOHN RUSSELL, as we have taken the liberty at various times to show, has a very treacherous memory, such a tribute of respect from the revolutionary patriarch was likely to have made an impression upon him. Tile motion was withdrawn; but, it appeared to us, that only one feeling existed towards Mr. DUNCOMBE in the minds of the shirt- wearing portion of the House, for the earnest and sincere manner in which he pleaded the cause of the pe- rishing victims of revengeful and hypocritical Radicalism in the ascendant. THE accounts which have been before the public of the proceedings of the " Legion," at St. Sebastian, are so won- derfully contradictory that we cannot, considering the charac- ters of some of the persons whose names authenticate the details, but think that they themselves must be deceived. General EVANS, on the 2Sth of May, writes an official despatch, in which he describes a most brilliant affair; from which official dispatch we, for the benefit of such of our readers as still believe that England is not actively engaged in the civil war in Spain, whence they may perceive how the General speaks of the assistance of his Britannic Majesty's naval forces :— " Two columns of Brigadier General JAULEGUY'S division, under that excellent officer, commanded by Colonels VAN II A LEX and AP. AOZ, with some British and Guipuscoan volunteer companies, led the attack, supported by the British auxiliary brigade of General CHICHESTER and Colonel FITZGERALD, and " by the British Royal Marines, under Major OWENS. Lieutenant- Colonel RAIT charged, at the head of some Lancers, into Passages. A battalion of the Saragossa Regiment, with a company of the first British Regiment, crowned the heights above the harbour of Passages, driving the enemy by their fire from the opposite cliff's. The castle, in which the insurgents had a casemated battery of four pieces of artillery, was gallantly attacked by his Britannic Majesty's ship, under Com- modore Lord ./. Hay, and those of her MAJESTY, under Admiral RIBERA and Commodore HENRY, and four pieces of cannon and an armed schooner were captured. The fire from the Phoenix and Salamander was again remarkable, as was that of ten pieces of artil- lery, belonging to the Legion, directed by Col. COLQUHOUN. Briga- dier- General SHAW remained in command of the lines on the left hand of the river. To all these officers and others, whom I have not time to enumerate, I am greatly indebted for their able assistance, & c. " What adds to the pleasure of this important and useful success i- the very trivial loss with which it has been gained. Captain MAITS LAND, of the Tweed, rendered important services in constructing and laying a bridge of boats over the broad and rapid Urumea river." Now, after this, is there any human being stupid enough to doubt the game which Lord PALMERSTON is playing ? Will he be impudent enough to deny that he and his precious col- leagues in the pledged non- interference Cabinet have not engaged this country in a war, to which no end is visible ?— And why, let us ask, does not some independent Member of Parliament press the question upon him ?— Why not Mr. GROVE PRICE ?— Why not Mr. MACLEAN ? What has this vain, silly Viscount done by this shuffling, under- handed misuse and misapplication of the terms and conditions of the quadruple treaty ? lie has pro- longed a struggle, as we have said elsewhere, at the expense of millions, and with the loss of hundreds and thousands of lives, to excite in the breasts of the Spanish nation a hatred for the English, as strong as their affection towards us was before. Till this fanfaronade, the fact of being an Englishman was a passport throughout all Spain. Now, how are the brave and patriotic Spaniards to know their friends from their foes ? But the veteran dandy does not seem to be aware of the course taken by the French Government— a course which will mote powerfully strengthen the influence of France and Spain than anything else that could have occurred. As to the affairs with CORDOVA, from the evening of the 21st to the 26th of May, it is clear that they have been a series of defeats. The KING'S forces were on all occasions the attacking party. The proof of this is, that after all his fighting and all his rejoicing, he made no advance, whatever, his position being still on the Vittoria side of the mountain range, and his head- quarters being about as far from Vittoria as Highgate is from London. The opposition which the KING'S army has met with, has been the result of a shameful combination of at least four to one, formed by the most extraordinary derilection of principle and duty on the part of our Ministry ; and yet, with all these odds and advantages, King CARLOS remains unbeaten. As to the vaunted possession of the strip of coast by the Legion, ivhat is it ?— nothing. It cannot be of the slightest import- ance as to the result of the great contest, inasmuch as the KING'S army did not receive its supplies sea- wise. What the ' opiuion of the KING'S prospects is, in opposition to the efforts of our Downing- street CALICOT, the marines, and the mercenaries, may best be ascertained by a test which seldom fails with mercenaries of another kind. The second payment to convert the scrip into certificates of the first series of the loan, that is, six per cent., no more being to be paid until the KING arrives at Madrid, or is acknowledged, has all been made at Amsterdam for that portion of the series winch was taken at that city. One thing is particularly gratifying. We find that the gallant representative of Westminster has so far mended his commissariat as to be able to give dinners— public, trium- phal dinners— at which the naval officers of his Britannic Majesty are present, and where all sorts of compliments are paid, in speeches and replies, and toasts and sentiments, to the valuable and powerful aid of the British navy— so that all disguise is abandoned. We confess we are surprised at the extraordinary zeal of certain persons in carrying on this sort of half- and- half service, and not much less surprised to find individuals in this country, publicly using language, and expressing opinions, with regard to the loyal adherents of Don CARLOS, which are most assuredly not justified by facts or events, but which may obtain credit in the country from the high respectability of the sources whence, by some unaccountable process, they are made to flow. WE observe, by the notices of motion in the House of Com- mons for the ensuing week, that, on Tuesday, Mr. GROVE PRICE proposes to present a petition from Sir JOHN THOMAS CLARIDGE, late Recorder of Penang. It would be improper for us to offer any observations upon this mysterious case at present, but we snail not allow it to escape our observation. We merely'say, en passant, that we believe Mr. GROVE PRICE'S statement will put an end to the prolonged and unbroken slumber in which Lord GLENELG has indulged ever since he has filled the office of Colonial Secretary so satisfac- torily— to himself! SINCE the Rev. BADEN POWELL, the Savillian Professor of Geometry at Oxford, openly, in the two letters which he has addressed to us, glories in his heterodoxy, there can be little difficulty upon our parts in referring to it to- day. We have received a communication from Oxford, to which it appears to be our bounden duty immediately to attend, and, by so doing, attract the attention of others to the same subject. It seems that, although Mr. POWELL— thanks to the Sta- tute so happily passed, which deprives Dr. HAMPDEN of his share in the nomination of preachers— has not of late uttered, nor is likely to utter, any of those sentiments of which he professes himself so proud, from the University pulpit, he is incessant in the dissemination of his tenets, framed in such a manner that numbers of the ignorant and ill- informed classes are led away by his plausible and insidious mode of address. This being the case, it becomes necessary to attract the notice of the Bishop of OXFORD to circumstances which are, perhaps, as yet imperfectly known to his Lordship. In a populous suburb of Oxford, a new Church is just com- pleted by a liberal subscription, raised by the University and other inhabitants. It is said to be Mr. POWELL'S object to obtain the appointment to this Church, aud that he has already made a successful progress towards the accomplishment of his wishes, and luis even boasted that he would, in case of his nomination, make it a convenient vantage ground for the pro- mulgation of his doctrines. This is the history as related to us; audit, moreover, is said— and we repeat it for the purpose of contradiction, if the report be ill- founded— that Mr. POWELL is sanctioned in his proceedings by the worthy and venerable Archdeacon CLERKE, and that, under his permission and auspices, he has been for some considerable time, and is still, officiating in a school- room until the Church is opened. To this conventicle, we are told, persons from all quarters flock, to imbibe the novel doctrines of the preacher, and that the effect produced upon its constant frequenters is by no means either invisible or questionable. We give these facts as we have received them; and we trust that we may be instrumental in checking an evil, the consummation of which was certainly never intended by those who, admiring Mr. POWELL'S heterodoxy, appointed him, as he himself says, to a professorship, the duties of which do not necessarily involve the discussion of any points of religious doctrine or discipline. paper, would induce us to give that statement here, corrobo- rated as it is by the written testimonials of many officers commanding regiments in the Legion, but we have not room. We admit the testimonials are strong. The evidence upon the Court of Inquiry is sufficiently satisfactory for General EVANS'S purpose ; but— we ask the question not invidiously, on the contrary, really to set the matter quite at rest— why did Brigadier- General EVANS, at the period when the laurels which his brother had sown in the mud and wet weather of a Spanish winter, were all ready for reaping, leave the Legion and come to England ? Why did the Committee of the Junior United Service Club, unanimously pass the following resolution on the 7th of May last ?— " The Committee have taken into their mature and deliberate con- sideration Captain DICKSON'S letter of the 26th of April, and Colonel EVANS'S statement of the 5th of May, together with all the letters and documents upon the subject, are unanimously of opinion, that the conduct of Captain DICKSON, throughout the transactions referred to therein, has been without stain, and that of an officer and a gentle- man." ( A true copy). " THOMAS HATCH, Secretary." And why— has Brigadier- General EVANS withdrawn from the said Club ? OX THE RESTORATION DAY. Through Kentish woods, the twenty- ninth of May, All loyal subjects still delight to stray ! And while they venerate the Oak above, The Lily, too, beneath, they dearly love ! With " Hearts of Oak" our sons make conquest sure, Our daughters are like Lilies, sweet and pure ! Long may they both together safely grow, And England's KING ne'er fear a Popish foe ! T. S. MR. GROVE PRICE on Monday, withdrew tlie motion of which he had given notice for expunging from tlie Older- book the notice of motion given by Mr. O'CONNELL respect- ing a reform in the House of Lords. After some coarse and flippant remarks by Mr. O'CONNELL, Lord J. RUSSELL said, he was glad the Hon. Gentleman had ex- pressed his determination not to persevere in the motion of which he had. given notice. ( Hear.) It was Ms ( Lord .1. Russell's) intention to have opposed that motion, as it was his intention, whenever it came on, to oppose the motion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Kil- kenny. ( Hear.) It was certainly his opinion that, as it was the undoubted right of that House to entertain Bills to regulate the suc- cession to the throne, and to reform the representation of the people in Parliament, so, likewise, it was the undoubted right of that House to introduce and to favour, if they should think tit, Bills respecting what was called Reform, but what he did not consider Reform, in the constitution of the other branch of the Legislature. ( Hear, hear.) That was the opinion he enterlained— the opinion he should have been prepared to maintain and argne upon if the Hon. Member had gone on with his motion. He was very glad, as he had already stated, that the Hon. Gentleman had listened to the advice of others — as he presumed, the advice of the Right Rev. Prelates of the Church. ( A laugh.) A motion, it would be recollected, had recently been made in that House, not for any reform with respect to the number of Prelates sitting in Parliament, but to remove Bishops from sitting in Parliament altogether. Now, as the Lords spiritual had as full a right, and he teas determined to maintain that right, to sit in the other House of Parliament, it certainly would have been a bad compliment to those Right Rev. Prelates if the House of Com- mons had shown itself ready to discuss and divide upon a motion with, respect to the removal of the Bishops, while it could not entertain a motion with respect to the removal of the lay Lords. ( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He thought it was very likely, therefore, that the Right Rev. Prelates, feeling somewhat hurt upon the occasion, had suggested to the Hon. Member the propriety of withdrawing his motion, in order that they might not be placed in that invidious situation as compared with the lay Lords. He had much greater respect for the Right Rev. Prelates. ( A laugh.) He would maintain their right to sit in the House of Lords— he would maintain the right of the lay Lords— he would maintain them both equally, and therefore he was not prepared to make that invidious distinction between the spiritual and temporal Lords of Parliament. ( Hear, and a laugh.) What a comical little man it is ! However, in the midst of his liveliness we see a distinct pledge upon his Lordship's part to oppose O'CONNELL'S motion— let us watch the result. WE have sometimes been blamed for charging certain Con- servative Members of the House of Commons with neglect of their duty, a charge, we are sorry to say, easily to be sus- tained by a reference to many divisions upon important questions, in which their names do not appear; but blamed or not, as we may be, we cannot permit the division of Tuesday night to pass unnoticed. The question brought forward by Mr. SPRING RICE at midnight, on Tuesday, was neither more nor less than whether Jewish disabilities, as they are called, are to be rescinded, and persons of that persuasion are to be permitted to hold high offices, and sit in the House of Commons— being like the Papists, to be sworn on the Old Testament, to support the Christian religion, whose tenets they reject, and whose truth they deny— in fact, one of the leading vital questions of this liberalizing age, and one calculated as much as possible to weaken and overthrow the slender wall by which the Esta- blished religion is yet protected Upon that occasion the House of Commons divided, and in the division we find nineteen gentlemen ouly, present to vindicate the Protestant religion and the Constitution of the country against the inroads of infidels, and the exertions of levellers and revolutionists. The names of those nineteen gentlemen, forming part of a body of upwards of 300 Con- servatives, we subjoin. How the remaining 2S5 of our Par- liamentaiy guardians and champions were occupying them- selves, we do not pretend to surmise. Those who were at then- posts, doing their duty, were— Agnew, Sir A. Boldero, H. G. Chisolm, A. W. Cole, Lord Vise. Estcourt, T. Forbes, W. Forster, C. S. Hale, R. B. Rushbrooke, Col. Thomas, Col. West, J. B. TELLERS. Inglis, Sir R. Scarlett, Mr. Hamilton, G. A.

The observations which we have here made, apply with even greater force to the division upon Lord STANLEY'S amendment on Friday— more than ninety Members were absent; and, in answer to the statement that there were " pairs," we say, a Conservative never should pair— if it be convenient for a Whig or Radical to go away, let him go, or let him stay to his own inconvenience; but in the present state of affairs make no concessions, no compromises— let every man stand to his amis, and the country will know- its friends from its foes. BRIGADIER- GENERAL EVANS has addressed to the Editor of the United Service Journal a statement refuting the charges so generallv made against him, and, as he says, espe- cially by Captain DICKSON, and which have been so fre- quently* before the public. The principle of justice upon which we have always acted, and always shall act in this WE last week spoke in favourable terms of the Eastern Counties Railroad, because we were convinced of its feasibility and utility. Our views upon this subject have been fully justified by statements which we have received from persons best qualified to exhibit its merits. The Bill was brought in by that staunch friend of the country, Sir CHARLES BROKE VERE, and appears to us to promise— as it is the longest line of road which has this Session received the sanction of Parliament— to be the most profitable: the length of line is 127 miles. The estimated number of annual passengers is upwards of two millions.' and the amount of goods nearly four hundred thousand tons! The revenue from these sources is anticipated at 502,9001. per annum, and, be it observed, is entirely exclusive of the revenue ( cer- tainly not inconsiderable) which will arise from the conveyance of cattle and sheep to London, from the great grazing counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk, as well as from the re- establishment of packets from the north of Europe to Yarmouth and Harwich, which is cer- tain to take place as soon as the Eastern Counties Railroad is com- pleted— at least if the saving of one entire day in our communication with Northern Europe be regarded as a matter of any importance. In the conduct of this Bill through Parliament, too much praise cannot be given to Mr. BRAITHWAITE, the engineer, and Mr. RO- BERTSON, the Secretary, for the clearness and ability with which they gave their evidence before the Committee. With respect to the Brighton Railroad, the Committee having de- cided in favour of STEPHENSON'S line, upon the first of the standing resolutions of the House entertained by them, we presume to con- clude, that our original impression in favour of one of the two lines through the same district, was not without foundation. Still we are at a loss to discover why the one line of two practicable through the same district, which has four tunnels, should have been preferred to that which has none. We do not say this with any predilection for Mr. CUNDV, but with an impression that the fears of Members of the Committee may have induced them to consider that, inasmuch as the funds provided for the execution of Mr. STEPHENSON'S line will fall short of the actual cost, by about 300,0001.; the funds provided for the execution of line with- out a tunnel, may possibly be inadequate to its completion. For this, the remedy is easy— as we last week suggested— the two lines, for reasons apparent to any thinking person who has read the evidence, are the same— the country is the same, and we really think the interests of the public require that the interests of the parties should be the same. Let the Committee recommend and report in favour of a junction of the two lines, and there will be an ample fund for contingencies, for, as everybody knows, the amount of ex- penditure is generally a little above the original estimate. We sin cerely hope to see this junction effected. A CIRCUMSTANCE has been reported to us, which we sub- mit to our readers, in the hope and expectation of its unqua 174 JOHN BULL. Way 29. ified contradiction on the part of the gentleman to whom it refers. The fact as stated to us is this :— A young lady, a candidate for admission at the Confirmation shortly to be held by the Lord Bishop of WINCH ESTER, has been refused the necessary certificate for that solemn purpose by the Rector of her pa- rish, before whom she presented herself for examination— not because she was insufficiently instructed or prepared to re- ceive the holy rite— but because she had been guilty of the horrid crime of having visited Epsom races .'— and for this SIN the young lady is to be excluded from the pale of the Church. As our object in repeating this history is its refutation, we hare no hesitation in saying that the Clergyman who is said to have so excluded the young lady is the Rev. Mr. MARS- DEN, the Rector of Tooting. Upon the present occasion we offer no remark upon this affair— we will wait; and most gladly shall we receive Mr. MARSDEN'S denial of that, which, if it be not true, is a most shameful aspersion of his character. A CORRESPONDENT of Saunders's News Letter, speaking of the attempt at a subscription to defray O'CONNELL'S election expenses, says :— The hidden spring of this revolutionary movement is neither more nor less than the imperative necessity which Mr. O ' Connell is under to discharge his bill of expenses in the Dublin election affair, to Messrs. Aasten, Joy, Hutton, < fec., who cannot afford to settle ac- counts with the Hon. Member after the fifteen months' fashion that they adopted on his behalf with the Parliament. They must be Eaid ! Subscription lists, private in England and pnblic in Ireland, ad already failed. What was to be done ? Get up a movement for an organic" change in the House of Lords, and thereby excite new and profitable sympathy for the mover. Excellent! ' twas done. The letter No. I, appeared in the Chronicle of yesterday. The Ministers committed themselves last night, and, behold, to- day a money meeting was got up at the Crown and Anchor, Joseph Hume in the chair. Robert Wallace, M. P., presented 501. frae Greenock, " Like nest- eggs to make clients pay." And the subscription for the demolition of the Lords is going on swimmingly. The Hon. Member for Kilkenny meantime takes his place in the House amidst the cheers of his Ministry, and aftefjSup- vorting the second reading of the Dublin Steam Packet Company's Bill, presents the petition from the citizens of Dublin against the return of West and Hamilton! Mischief is at work on every hand. MR. CLAY, in his speech on joint- stock banking, is re- ported, by the Times, to have said:—" The trade of banking in the United States has never, but with one instance of ex- ception, been carried on by individuals, or by firms of a small number of partners; it has always been in the hands of joint- stock or incorporated companies." True, Mr. CLAY ; and for those very reasons, both the joint- stock Banks, and their customers in the United States, break periodically and simul- taneously. It is because there are no BARCLAYS, no MASTER- MANS, no ESDAILES, aud no DRUMMONDS, in America, that all banking business there is rotten— a mere substitution of joint- stock credit for want of individual wealthiness. It is a curious but awful fact, that the things which the Republicans repudiate, are the very tilings sought to be esta- blished in Great Britain and Ireland. For example: About a year aud a half before Mr. CLAY made his speech on this subject in the British House of Commons, the President of the United States had ( 1st Dec., 1834) told Congress, in his annual Message, that " If the several States should be induced gradually to reform their banking systems, and prohibit the issues of small notes, they would, in a few years, have a cur- rency as sound and as little liable to fluctuations as any other commercial country." Here, then, is a plain intimation from the highest American authority, that the American banking system is defective, and requires reformation so as to place the United States on a par witli other commercial countries, id est, on a level with Great Britain. Now let us hear Mr. CLAY, in the mouth of May, 1836. " I am convinced," said he, " that tile defects of our present system are capable of remedy, and I shall state briefly the na- ture of the remedy I would recommend. It consists merely in the adoption of three great principles, namely, limited liability, paid- up capital, and perfect publicity." Here, then, we have a practical man, Mr. CLAY, of no mean authority, at least in the Tower Hamlets, recommending as a remedy to cure our defects, the adoption of the three great principles repudiated by the chief of- democrats in America— ANDREW JACKSON. Under the practice of those three great principles, namely, " limited liability, paid- up capital, and perfect publicity,"' General JACKSON had, before he penned the words we have quoted, seen, within the space of six months, namely, from January to June, 1834, one hundred and fifty- five joint- stock Banks break simultaneously, and not pay one farthing in the pound. We will print, for reasous we will afterwards explain, a list as to locality, of those joint- stock Banks :— In the State of New York 11 ;„ Ohio 23 „ Pennsylvania 18 „ Maryland .12 „ Maine 10 „ Kentucky 6 ,, Missouri 7 J,, Massachusets 9 ,, Rhode Island 7 „ New Jersey 9 ,, Tennessee .. .. 5 ,, Michigan 6 ,, Georgia 4 ,, Virginia .. .. .. .. 3 „ Connecticut .. .. .. 3 ,, Delaware .. 2 „ South Carolina 2 ,, Alabama -. .. .. .. 2 District of Columbia 16 Total ... .. 155 From the locality of those joint- stock Banks we derive— in- dependently of the system which we shall presently expose, under which they were conducted— a full corroboration of . the arguments which Mr. CLAY has not ventured to assail, namely, that all joint- stock banking, as well as everything else in the United States, is perverted to the purposes of par- tisan politics, and that where most custom- house accommo- dation is awarded to partisan politicians, on account of the duties on importations, there, on those very spots, counter- active and concomitant measures are always resorted to in respect of joint- stock credit and bubble banking; and, more- over, that as custom- house accommodation is a far more pro- fitable stock in trade for political and commercial adventurers than discounts of accommodation paper by joint- stock Banks, the former must drive to tile wall the latter, who mortgage all their own property, and that of their creditors, by means of those discounts. ' With one observation of Mr. CLAY'S we have the honour most unequivocally to agree, although the motives which pro- duce the agreement are as wide asunder as sound patriotism is from mock reform. He says, " The House of Commons must feel how important is the lesson we may derive from our transatlantic brethren," aud in proof of its importance he adds—" The House is no doubt aware that all legislation in the United States, except on certain specified subjects, falls within the province of the State Legislatures. The House is also, I doubt not, aware that the district of Columbia { where sixteen joint- stock Banks broke in one day), where Washing- ton is situated, is under the direct control of Congress; any laws consequently for the government of that district may be considered as emanating from the collective opinion of the whole Union." The " district of Columbia," thus magniloquently spoken of by Mr. CLAY as the especial object of Congressional con- trol, contains, or did contain, besides 16 broken joint- stock Banks, several villages, one of them called Alexandria, and the whole of which district is not less than ten square English miles '. But it is not the number of broken joint- stock Banks nor the number of villages in this district that we care about, it is the dilemma into which Mr. CLAY has got himself by those words— on either hom of which dilemma Mr. CLAY may place himself at option. lie says, that " with certain specified exceptions, all legis- lation in the United States, falls within the province of the State Legislatures." Yes— just as the tithes in Ireland fall within the province of the Protestant Church. The Congress of the United States had originally the power of legislation for national purposes, and for none other; while the State Legislatures had originally the power of legislation for State purposes, and for none other. Mais tout cela est change. The Congress, in respect of tariff duties, has legis- lated for all the States respectively, disproportionately, and tyrannically; while the separate States in their local legisla- tures, have in self- defence chartered bubble- Banks to meet the competition of tariff duties on credit, and thereby out- raged the Constitution of the United States. The State of Pennsylvania, for example, lias bid defiance to Congress by pretending to charter a national institution! We there- fore most respectfully offer Mr. CLAY either horn of the dilemma for his accommodation— he must choose either the original usurpation of Congressional rights in respect of tax- ing the separate States, or he must choose the recent assump- tion of the State of Pennsylvania, in pretending to charter an United States' Bank. We are in no hurry, but on one of those horns of his own dilemma, Mr. CLAY must place himself, and there remain too, while we discuss his panacea for our defects, viz., his " three great principles of limited liability, paid- up capital, and per- fect publicity, on the American system." First. With regard to " limite'd liability," Do, Mr. CLAY. tell us, who ought to be, morally, politically, commercially, or lawfully liable, as to losses in a case where only one party, the debtor, has any chance of profit? Is it the creditor, the holder of a promise to pay, that should be liable ? Would you make the man who takes a Bank note in payment for his productions, either of the head or ofthe hands liable to parties ad infinitum, who took that Bank note in exchange for per- haps-. the necessaries of life, instead of making liable the man who originally issued that note, and who by dishonesty, solely or in partnership, as a banker, dispossessed himself of the means of redeeming it ? The question is not as to a man's liability in respect of limited capital as a banker, but as to his liability in respect of a promise to pay as a debtor. For a man to issue his promises to pay, and limit his liability in re- spect of those promises, may he philosophy— it may be po- litical economy, but it is neither common sense nor common honesty. We all know that ten men putting down, as bankers, ten pounds each, making one hundred pounds, as joint- stock capital, may be vastly convenient for themselves as the basis of issuing a hundred thousand pounds' worth of promises to pay, wherewith to discount their own bills, as merchants or manufacturers, and limiting their liability in respect thereof; but such kind of practice is, in plain English, a conspiracy of swindlers, and has no parallel on earth, save in the United States of North America. Second, as to " paid- up capital." Why, every one of the joint- stock Banks we have enumerated as having broke with- in six months, iti the United States, had each and all of them paid- up capital to begin with, but not a single dollar in their counters when they stopped payment. What is the use of paid- up capital in a joint- stock Bank, when the full amount is pledged over aud over again to the creditors of tile Bank, and also in a million modes of implication and entanglement to the creditors of the bankers in their character of merchants or manufacturers ? And what is the use of this paid- up capi- tal in a Bank, when the banker, as a merchant or manufac- turer, breaks ? His share of the paid- up capital must go in discharge of his debts as an individual trader, and not in dis- charge of his joint- debts as an incorporated banker. That there is no private banking in America with real capital applicable only to the purposes of banking, is owing principally to the destructive effec ts of repealing the old Eng- lish laws of primogeniture. The instance of exception Mr. CLAY speaks of was old GIRARD, of Philadelphia, whose pro- perty since his death has fallen into the hands of a set of joint- stock banking merchants, so that now, from Maine to Louisiana there is no such thing as a real bond fide banking establishment per se, that is, an establishment in which the property of the conductors is available to satisfy the debts of the proprietors. We now come to the last of Mr. CLAY'S three great prin- ciples, namely, " perfect publicity." Really, we " hardly know what to say about this; that is, we hardly know what to say first. " Perfect publicity" in the affairs of an individual, or of a corporation, is never arrived at, except in cases of failure, and even then, " perfect pub- licity," as to debits and credits, are always deemed to be fallacious at a meeting of creditors; it is the realization of those debits and credits that obtain " perfect publicity" and perfect powers of argument within the sound of Bow bell. The late United States' Bank, for example, made " perfectly public" the amount of their circulation, of their deposits, of their discounted bills, and of their cash in hand; but what creditor of that institution was or is a bit the wiser about the responsibility of the debtors thereto ? To publish merely the amount of debts is like our Irish Chancellor of the Exchequer prating about the quantity of exports being a criterion of profits on bills of lading. The premises are all false, aud the conclusions are all ditto. Mr. CLAY, as a practical man, must know as well as ourselves that they are so. Then why should he, for the sake of" the people" of the Tower Hamlets, condescend to throw dust in the eyes of the people of England ? anon. More AVE have already expressed our opinions upon the moral and military effects of the loudly- trumpeted scramble at St. Sebastian. The following extract from the United Service Journal of the present month will be found extremely well worth a perusal:— A second edition of that egregious infraction of civilised warfare and the rights of nations— the Antwerp Tragi- Comedy of Neutral Coercion; or, " Killing no Murder," is being enacted on the north coast of Spain. It appears that the British Auxiliaries had been marched from Vittoria to the coast, and thence conveyed by sea to St. Sebastian, which had been for some time closely ' invested by a small corps of Carlists. The opportunity of attacking the latter, and dislodging them from their trenchments, which completely blockaded the place on the land side, appeared favourable to the well- known capacity of the British for a coup de main; and the gallant leader ofthe Auxiliaries, availing himself of this bull- dog propensity, and lending it all the impulse of his own daring spirit, sallied, with a very superior force and means, from the fortress before day- light, on the morning ofthe 5th of May, and having assaulted the Carlist lines during several hours with spirited but desultory efforts, was repulsed with severe loss. At this critical moment, the new theory of neutrality, sagaciously invented to occupy the idle, check population, and propagate li- beralism by the bland and rational persuasion of bombs, came into practice, and turned the fate of the day. The British steamers, Phoenix and Salamander, having on board batteries and battalions, opportunely reached the scene of action, under the conduct of the British Commodore. The fresh auxiliaries were landed, while the marine artillery of his Britannic Majesty's steamer Phoenix shelled the Carlist defences with a novel and irresistible effect. The Le- gionaries, backed by their reinforcements, and pioneered by Lord PALMERSTON'S peace- preservers, were thus enabled to resume the offensive, and penetrate the breaches made by the amicable mortars ot " non- intervention." The devoted " Brigands," overpowered, but unsubdued, being now reduced to their last cartridge and less than a thousand combatants, and having lost their brave chief SEGA- STIBELZA, killed by the fragment of a shell which tore his skull away, retired to a short distance from their lines, from which the Anglo- Christinos have not since ventured to advance. Thus, under cover of the British Flag, heretofore the rallying banner of the oppressed, was a dearly- bought and barren success achieved against native patriotism and loyalty by the countrymen of those consistent allies who, in the breach'of St. Sebastian, " co- ope- rated" to rescue from revolutionary oppression the identical " scoun- drels" whom Englishmen are now exhorted to " skewer" ! So readily does the March of Intellect reconcile principle with interest. It is not our part or purpose to pander to the false pretensions and position ofthe Anglo- Spanish Legion, nor to exalt their prowess at the expense of their noble opponents, who exhibit a spectacle which no true soldier— no right- mim led man— can contemplate without ad- miration and sympathy. In rejecting the bombastic language in which this headlong affray has been extolled, we are far from insen- sible to the characteristic resolution exhibited by the British Auxi- liaries, from whose national pugnacity such a result was to be expected whenever they might be brought into action. We grant them full credit for physical bravery, and cannot grudge them the passing notoriety of their exploit, such as it is— but here end their claims; for let not tliGse who as Mercenaries ( and how Anti- British is the term!) fight against a people who are not theirenemies, nor the enemies of tneir nation— a people who, though bullied and belea- guered on all sides, manfully battle for what they deem their dearest rights, and they are the best judges— let not those, we say, dream of " Glory"— that permanent meed of martial service to which none but the soldier of his country may legitimately aspire. This guiding star of all that is lofty and redeeming in the military character it is our duty to shield from obscuration, and to watch that no alien to its genuine influence may surreptitiously bask in its rays. We have, from the first, opposed this wholesale hiring of British subjects to a foreign. power for foreign objects, as derogatory to the British character, both national and individual, and subversive of those patriotic and chivalrous motives by which the profession of arms, above all others, should ever be guided. In the same spirit, we are bound to separate true glory from a spurious fame, and to guard, as far as in us lies, that the portion ofthe former, which has been fairly won, may not be usurped or alloyed by the votaries of the counterfeit. The same objections which prompted us to put down the prize fighter at home, iead us to decry the gladiatorial exhibition of our countrymen abroad. The cases, in principle, are parallel; yet who amongst the Legionary tyros that strut their hour at St. Sebastian, in fancy rivalling Roland or The Cidd, anticipates the twin glory of Tom Cribb ? The remarks we are now constrained to offer, however unpalatable to the parties, though in consonance with the general feeling of the King's Service, are submitted in anything but an unfriendly spirit. Our office imposes upon us many delicate or distasteful duties, amongst which we cannot but number the present; but it is our business and our purpose to maintain, through good or through evil report, the professional character in its highest elevation, and to take care ne aliquid detrimenti capiat. It is scarcely worth while to criticise the combat itself, which ap- pears to have consisted of a rush, repeated at intervals, and with little order, upon the Carlist works, which were resolutely defended ; the only point worth consideration is— whether the co- operation ofthe steamers could have been obtained before the attack commenced ; and, if so, whether the attempt by land might not have been advan- tageously deferred till the bombardment had produced the^ decisive effect it was ultimately found to cause. A great sacrifice of life might thus have been prevented, and the same object attained. With regard to the military results and moral effect of the affair of St. Sebastian, there has been as yet no demonstration to enable us to judge of the first, the Christinos and Carlists retaining their respective positions after the action: so far there have been no immediate con- sequences to the advantage of the former, beyond the removal of the latter from the environs of the place. Much depends, of course, upon the motive of the operation itself— whether ail isolated dash, or a link in a combined plan of operations. Tn either case all that can yet be said is, that elbow- room has been gained at a disproportionate expense— for the way is still barred to a forward movement. judging, however, by the determined resistance of the Carlists un- der the guns of a hostile fortress, it is clear that to engage them within their own fastnesses would be to double the chances of defeat on the part of the invaders, who, upon this score, do not appear wanting in a due discretion. It is even highly probable that, had not the simultaneous demonstration of CORDOVA upon the Carlist posi- tions before Vittoria— the only skilful movement with which he or his party are chargeable— withdrawn Eguia, who had concentratpe 10,000 men at Hernani, the latter would have immediately driven back the auxiliaries into St. Sebastian ; nor is it unlikely that the exasperated Carlists, fruitful in resource and surrounded by forges, may qnickly discover that modern steamers are not more impassive to the power of red- hot shot, than the famed Floating Batteries of a siege, memorable in the annals of their own country. The preponderance of moral effect must be inferred from a due balance of facts on both sides. How stand the respective cases ? The embryo valour of the assailants, natives of Great Britain and assimi- lated in organization and uniform to British troops, was undoubted: the prestige of their name, like that of their nation, was a host, and victory was expected to follow their standard, as though they were the national troops under Wellington. In the present instance, their force, exclusive of 1,500 Spaniards, could not have been much less than 5,000 men, swelled by reinforcements to 7,000. Completely armed, abundantly supplied with ammunition, backed by a fortress and a fleet, commanded by an enterprising officer, and excited by the pressing necessity of doing something, the Anglo- Christinos were on this occasion highly favoured by circumstances. It is absurd to talk of the Legionaries as " recruits"— the majority of the British who beat the flower of France at Waterloo equally merited the^ title. On the other hand, the " Factious," hunted and decried, consisting of half- armed mountaineers imperfectly organized and equipped, scantily furnished with cartridges, which, when exhausted, could not be replaced, without any admitted reputation as soldiers, numbering, according to the report of their commander, but 2,000 men to occupy and defend extensive lines, without any contiguous reserve or support on which to fall back, and acting on the defensive, while their adver- saries were impelled by the animation of attack— certainly stood in an inferior and discouraging position. The advantage of their in- trenchments, otherwise considerable, was neutralized by the power of battering and breaching them, to which no check could be opposed, nor any return made. Under these circunmstances the conflicting parties met, and alter April 183. JOHN BULL. 115 a sanguinary struggle of five or six hours' duration, the Auxiliaries • were confessedly worsted ; and had not the British steamers criti- cally arrived to their assistance, there is no saying how the affair might have ended. It is further remarkable, that the Carlists used the bayonet with effect in repulsing their assailants. According to the official report of Iturizza, their second in command, his force • was reduced to 900 men along the whole line, and his ammunition to a few cartridges, when the last combined attack by sea and land, and with fresh troops, forced him to give way. The report alluded to,— a manlv and a modest document, in striking contrast with the vain- florious vaunting ofhis antagonists,— further states the Carlist loss, illed and wounded, at 260— that of the Auxiliaries, including 75 officers, is returned at 821! It thus appears that, for the first time, Spaniards have successfully coped in the field with troops professing to be British; that the pea- sants of the Pyrenees, under great disadvantages, have fairly fought and foiled the latter— in many cases with their own weapon, the " cold steel,"— though very superior in numbers and resources ; that while the Auxiliaries have done only what was expected, and have apparently profited nothing by their success, the Carlists have far surpassed all anticipation, and established for their body an honour- able reputation as soldiers. So far, therefore, from having cause for discouragement, they have evidently gained fresh incentives for con- tinued sacrifices and vigorous exertion. They have encountered the most formidable of their foes, and have not been found wanting; increased confidence will embolden the general exasperation of the Provinces at the forcible and mercenary meddling of strangers in a question purely national, and we are mistaken if the rankling jea- lousy of the pseudo friends of the Legion will not equal the open animosity of its foes. The moral victory has been with the Carlists; the moral effects therefore remain with them. Brute force alone can overthrow them. When the intoxication of the moment shall have subsided, the caution of Sir JOHN ELLEY may possibly recnr to the British stipen- diaries of the Spanish Government; and it. may be well for that body- to inquire, ere they again take the field and lavish their blood, whether the Spanish" Treasury has become bankrupt with the jobbing Mendizabal. His MAJESTY will honour the Duke of WELLINGTON with his com- pany on the 18th of the present month at Apsley House, at the grand entertainment in celebration of the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. The Prince of ORANGE, who distinguished himself in the action, will also be present. The Prince of CAPUA andhis consort are making their final arrange- ments for leaving England for Rome, where, it is understood, they will remain until advices reach them from his Majesty the King of the Two SICILIES. The Bishop of LONDON, we are sorry to hear, has had a serious relapse, and has been interdicted by his physicians from attending to business of any kind for a considerable time. The action brought by Mr. NORTON against VisccuntMELBOuRNE, is set down for trial in the Court of Common Pleas, for the Middlesex sittings after this Term. The damages are laid at 10,0001. It. is expected that the trial will take place on the 19th or 20th inst. The Noble Viscount, although convalescent, did not give his usual com- plimentary dinner on the KING'S birth- day. His Serene Highness the Duke CHARLES of BRUNSWICK arrived in town on Tuesday from Paris, attended by his Chamberlain, the Baron D'ANDLAW. For years there has not been such a number of members of foreign royal families in London as at present: we have the Prince of Orange and two of his sons; the Prince of Capua; the Duke ( William), of Brunswick ; and of other reigning families we find the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha, the Hereditary Prince, and Prince Albert ditto, the Prince of Leiningen, and Prince Ernest of Hesse. Another death in the British Legion, in consequence of wounds received in the action at St. Sebastian, has taken place; in addition to Colonel TUPFER and Lieut. CHADWICK, Lieut.- Colonel MITCHELL has also died. The young Queen of PORTUGAL is stated to be enciente. A society is about to be established by influential persons in the City, to encourage emigration to Jamaica, where, in consequence of the laziness of the emancipated negroes, labour is much in demand. THE FETE AT HOLLY- HILL, on Tuesday, was given under the most favourable auspices. The visitors were numerous, and of the most fashionable description. The amusements commenced with a concert of vocal and instrumental music in the tent in the garden, under the direction of Sir GEOP. GE SMART, at which assisted Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Ivuyvett, Mr. Bishop, Mr. Knyvett, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Chapman, Mr. Horncastle, Mr. Parry, jun., Signor Lablaclie, Tam- burini, Rubini, Malibran, andDe Beriot. The principal pieces were —" Che belle vita," Tamburini and Rubini; " O guardate," Mali- bran and Lablache ; " Papatici," Lablache, Tamburini, aud Rubini; " Se inclinasse," Tamburini and Rubini; " Ti parla 1' amore," Mrs. Bishop, Tamburini and Rubini; " La Danza," Lablache; " All idea," Tamhurini and Rubini. Then followed the rustic sports around the May- pole, fully decorated with ribbands of many colours and a profusion of natural and artificial flowers. The performers were figurantes from the theatres, ably directed by Mr. YATES, aud all habited in the full costume of a village festival. There were several novel exhibitions, and, among others, the ascent of a fine athletic figure in a Spanishhabit to the summit of the May- pole, and, then standing on his head, waved a banner commemorative of the escape of CHARLES II. from the hands of the Roundheads. By the bye, there was a pleasing spectacle applicable to this important event. " The Merry Monarch" appears on an oak tree, and two of CROMWELL'S soldiers have a dispute under its branches respecting which should have the largest share of the promised reward, should they be so fortunate as to take him. These fierce Republicans fight with their broadswords, betray extraordinary skill in the management of their weapons, and, during their contest, CHARLES unseen escapes. There was a good deal ofinterestattached to this scene. Promenading through the woods and flower gardens occupied the time till near six o'clock, when the very excellent band of the Coldstream Guards struck up " O, the roast beef of Old England 1" and then all flew to the re. freshment tables, which were abundantly stocked with delicacies The company sat down in three apartments in the Pavilion. The conservatory was laid for nearly 100, and a temporary room on the right of the terrace accommodated about 100 more. At eight o'clock the latter room was cleared for the band of Messrs. COLLINET, who introduced some new music with great effect. At this hour there " was also a concert in the house, at which the above performers as- sisted. At half- past nine o'clock there was a display of fireworks, of extraordinary brilliancy. About eleven there was a sumptuous supper, and between one and two o'clock Wednesday morning the party broke up. His Grace of ST. ALBAN'S displayed his hawks with the usual attendants; and her Grace was unceasing in her attentions to her guests. In short, all were fascinated, and all regretted when the hour of separation arrived.— Standard.

There were also present the Very Rev. the Dean of HEREFORD, the Rev. Drs. SHEPPEARD and BURNEY, and the Rev. Messrs. CONE, WHARTON, and several other gentlemen. The minutes of the former general court having been read and agreed to, the Venerable Chairman said that the labours of the meeting would be principally confined ( after going through some necessary matters of business which would not occupy their time at any length) to the grateful duty of electing 13 children upon the school foundation, on which there were already 130. It was grateful to find the efforts of the society had been attended with increasing success. Several other Rev. gentlemen addressed the meeting, expressing their satisfaction at the proficiency of the children at their recent examination ( the other day), and, seven male and six female children having been ballotted for, a vote of thanks was returned to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. The Lord Bishop of EXETER will make his triennial visitation in the autumn of this year. At a numerous meeting of the Clergy of the united dioceses of Cork, Cloyne, and Ross, held on Friday, at the Society House, Cork, the Archdeacon of CORK in the chair, resolutions condemnatory of the new Church Bill were passed unanimously, and it was agreed upon that petitions to both Houses of Parliament against the pro- posed measure be presented without delay. The venerable Dr. GEORGE BARNES, Archdeacon of Barnstaple, held his annual visitation in the Church at Barnstaple, on Wednes- day the 25th ult.; the devotional part of the prepara tory service was conducted by the Rev. HENRY LUXMORE, Vicar of Barnstaple, and the sermon was delivered by the Rev. Mr. G EE, Rector of West Buckland, Devon, and Week St. Mary, Cornwall. A large body of the parochial Clergy then assembled around the communion table, to whom, and to the Churchwardens of their respective parishes, the Archdeacon delivered a very appropriate charge. On Sunday morning, at St. John's Chapel, Bedford- row, the Rev. B. NOEL alluded to the Bishop of LONDON'S proposed plan for build- ing 50 new Churches, and stated his willingness to receive contribu- tions in the vestry after the service, hi the evening the Rev. gentleman announced that the donations so given to him amounted to eight hundred pounds! GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF SCOTLAND.— The proceedings of the Ge- neral Assembly will be read on the whole with satisfaction by mo- derate men of all parties. They do not, however, call for much com- ment at our hands. The decision of the House on the question 9f patronage is unequivocal, and we trust it will have the effect of si- lencing the agitators for some years to come. The Radical party in the Church have been completely defeated. They must see that their attempts at violent innovation are held in repugnance by the vast majority of the Church. We are also happy to observe that the cases of disputed settlements which came before the Assembly, have been viewed rather upon their own merits than by the light of party pre- judice. The decided majority which rendered what must still appear tardy justice to the presentee of Dreghorn, has given to the House a character for fair play which cannot fail to renew the confidence of the people in its impartial administration of the laws. Other cases have been judged in a similar spirit of equal- handed justice— a cir- cumstance which proves that the present Assembly is much superior to its predecessor.— Edinburgh Evening Post. TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO A CLERGYMAN.— On Thursday, the 10th nit., the Rev. N. GERMON was presented by the congregation of St. "" ster's, Manchester, of which he is Inciimbent, with a tea service of tn( most elegant and massive description, and a superb salver, in testimony of the high estimation in which he is held by his flock. This han'lsome testimonial was presented by EDWARD BROOKE, Esq., and THOMAS CROMPTON, Esq., the Churchwardens, on behalf of the congregation, accompanied with a suitable address. The following is a copy of the inscription upon the salver:—" Presented, together with a tea service, to the Rev. NICHOLAS GERMON, M. A., Incumbent of St. Peter's, Manchester, in testimony of the sincere attachment of his congregation, their respect for private worth, and their due appre- ciation of the faithful discharge of nis Ministry for a period of fourteen years.

The variation since our last in tlie Consol Market hn « not been very important, but the tendency has been upward, and 92H was the closing quotation for the Account at the termination of business this afternoon ; Exchequer Bills are 12 to 14 pm.. and India Bonds are 1 pm. to par; the Three per Cent. Consols and the New Three- and- a- Half per Cents, are now closed for the dividend. Tn the Foreign Market the settlement of the Account took place on Tuesday last, and passed over without defalcation, notwithstand- ing the differences were upwards of 8 per Cent, in Spanish Bonds during the Account. In the Foreign Securities the fluctuation has not generally been of much importance; the Peninsula Bonds con- tinue to be the great object of attraction, and at the close of business • this afternoon the price of Spanish Bonds was 40& ; of Portuguese Five per Cents. 81J£ ex- div., and of the Three per Cents. 52%. In the Republican Bonds there was some heaviness at the approach of Account day, bnt they have since rallied, although the business done in them is not extensive; Columbian Bonds are at 30% y, ; Chilian are 46 to 47; and Mexican 33 34. The European Bonds are nearly as at our last quotations; Dutch Five per Cents, are at 101%, the Two- and- a- Half per Cents, are 57 ; and Russian 109% 110. Not much of moment has been done in Shares. The Repulse, • with the superintendent and other agents of the Calcutta and Saugur Railway, has started for Calcutta, to commence that important un- dertaking.

Mr. Norton ( plaintiff), for a rule, calling on the defendant ( Lord Y'iscount Melbourne), to show cause why a commission should not issue to examine a witness, at present resi- dent in Ireland, whose testimony, it was sworn, was most material and important to the plaintiff's case.— The Court granted a rule, and ordered it to be drawn up for Monday next, so that cause may be shown on Tuesday morning. The nomination for the representation of South Essex, in the room of the late W. Hall Dare, Esq., took place at Chelmsford, on Thurs- day. J. Round, Esq., of Danbury Park, proposed Mr. Palmer, in the Conservative interest, who was seconded by W. Collin, Esq., of Layton ; and Mr. Branfil], the Liberal candidate, was proposed by Mr. Lennard, M. P. for Maldon. The polling commences to- morrow morning. The greatest importance is attached by the O'Connell Mi- nistry to this contest, and we earnestly recommend the Conservatives of Essex to be as early as possible at the poll, for, as the Standard observes, if money can win the fight, the Ministerialists will not be the losers.— The" Essex Standard, of Friday says:— It was with mingled feelings of shame and disgust that yesterday, at the hustings, we heard the leading men of Mr. Branfill's party identify that gen- tleman and themselves with O'Connell! Electors of South Essex, think of this ! ! FUNERAL OF THE DUKE OF GORDOX.— The remains of this much lamented Nobleman were removed on Friday from his Grace's late residence, Belgrave- square, to Greenwich, for the purpose of being taken on board the Firebrand steamer, to be conveyed to the family vault at Elgin for interment. The procession, which was one of the most grand and imposing spectacles ever witnessed in this country, moved in the following order:— Police to clfar the road; undertaker's men, on horseback, two and two. The 3d Regiment of Foot Guards ( of which regiment the deceased was Colonel), the band playing the " Dead March in Saul." The coronet of the deceased, on a crimson velvet cushion, carried by a page on horseback. The hearse, drawn by eight horses, richly caparisoned. Eightmourningcoaches, drawn by six horses, each containing the friends and domestics of the deceased. His Majesty's private carriage, drawn by his beautiful black horses, servants in full state liveries. Her Majesty's carriage, drawn by six white horses, servants in full state liveries. " Six other of the Royal cariages, each drawn by six horses. The carriages of the Duchess of Kent, the Duke of Cumberland, and other branches of the Royal Family, drawn by two horses each. Detachments of the Foot Guards, with arms reversed. A long train of carriages of the principal nobility and gentry closed the procession. We understand that their Majesties sent an affectionate message of condolence to her Grace the Duchess of Gordon on the melan- choly bereavement she has sustained. It is reported in the military circles that Lord Lvnedoch is considered likely to succeed the late Duke in the command of the Scots Fusileer Guards.— The Gover- norship of Edinburgh Castle, vacant by his Grace's death, will be held by Lieut.- General Sir Charles Hammond, K. C. H. The" Oxford Herald of yesterday, says :— It has been confidently reported in the University this day, that the Dean of Salisbury ( Dr. Pearson) will be the now Bishop, and that Dr. Hampden will suc- ceed to the Deanery of Salisbury. We give this statement as we have heard it, and from persons not likely to be deceived, but we do not pledge ourselves for its accuracy. TO THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE SOUTHERN DIVISION OF ESSEX. Gentlemen, IN the firm conviction that my principles are in strict accord- ance with vonr own— that, like myself, you would uphold the cause of Constitutional Liberty and our Holy Religion. and, WHILE SECUIUNG THE RIGHTFUL INTERESTS of the SUFFERING AGRICULTURISTS, would yield to every class of your Fellow- Conntrymen an equal protection— I have ven- tured to come forward as a Candidate for the vacant place ill your Representation. I had no Miserable faction— no Political leader to serve ; all who know me will acquit me of being a seeker of place, or profit; and personal ambition, I sincerely assure you, would never have induced me to take this step, though fully sensible of the high honour of representing ) ou in the House of Commons. But, in the varied an< i eventful scenes of a life spent in active pursuits, I have gathered some experience of human laws and institutions, which, I flattered myself, might be serviceable to my country at an arduous crisis,— while, as a land- owner, and my- self a Farmer, in the Southern Division of Essex, my feelings, habits, and inte- rests seemed identified with your own, and I thought myself not unqualified for the honourable post I was invited to seek. For these reasons I yielded to the kind solicitations of my friends and neigh- bours, believing I couid not do otherwise without neglecting a public duty. It is now. Gentlemen, for you to prove whether or not I have rightly judged. The Poll which has been deinandeu commences on Monday, the 6th of June; and, relying on your earnest and EARLY exertions forour common cause, I confident- ly anticipate a favourable issue of the present contest. I am. Gentlemen, your most obedient Servant, Nazing, 2nd June, 1836. GEORGE PALMER. P. S. Although, with others of my family, I have been incessantly occupied during the past week with meeting the Electors' and otherwise preparing for the Elec- tion, 1 have not been able to wait upon the greater part of the Electors, and many may not have received even an application by letter ; I trust, however, that those Gentlemen will excuse the seeming neglect, attributing it to its only cause, the multitudinous calls upon my attention. And I earnestly solicit their support, in their several districts, at the Poll on Monday, on the ground of public principle, and as a personal favour to myself. SJOUTH ESSEX ELECTION.— MR.

Revised and augmented by the Author. The observations and advice contained in this little work are chiefly the resultof the author's own experience; and when they are founded on the infor- mation of others, that information has been examined with the strictest attention. The book is the production of many years' study and reflection; and the author cannot help flattering herselt that it will be of use to those for whom it is designed — the anxious Mother, the attentive Governess, and the careful Nurse. Long ex- perience and much observation have induced her to believe, that a great number of the diseases which afflict the human race, are the etfects of imprudence and neglect in the earlv part of life ; and that by constant and judicious attention to the physical education, during the fir* t fifteen years, many of these diseases might be avoided. For this reason she is anxious to diffuse amongst her own sex, a species of knowledge, which may enable mothers to educate their children with better prospects of health and happiness ; and, perhaps, occasion theln to take a greater interest in the welfare of their offspring, by proving how it depends on their attention. _ London: Baldwin and Cradock, Paternoster- row.
