Rowan consented to the discharge of a man in this case in 1834, but the communication of it was intercepted, and not known till within a few months, since which time he and another man have been discharged.

TEETH.— Gold is the only material with which decayed teeth can be filled with any permanently beneficial result. The various cements to which so many impossibilities are unblushingly attributed, being amalgams of mercury, with silver, tin, & c., quickly combine with the acids of the mouth, and thus, forming muriates of those metak, turn the teeth black, and ultimately destroy them. « GREIG THOMSON, Sfirgeon Dentist, informs the public that he has succeeded in making a preparation of gold, which, without inflicting the least pain, effectually airests tne progress of decay, and resembles the teeth in point of colour much more than any other invention now in use.

UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, Waterloo- place, Pall- mall, London; and 2, Charlotte- row, Mansion House.— Established by Act of Parliament. This Company atfords the most perfect security, from an ample, active, and large subscribed capital; and holds out great inducements, in allowing very moderate premiums to be paid in nearly any way to suit the convenience of parties in every situation of life. For instance, a married man, aged 25, may, by insuring on the regular scale for the whole period of life, secure to his family . i' 1,000 at the annual expense of ^" 19 4s. 2d.; one- half of which he may allow to remain unpaid for five years at interest, to be deducted eventually from the policy, or paid off at conveni- ence : thus his outlay for the first five years would only be £ 9 12s. Id. per annum. Whensuch facilities are afforded, it appears almost a moral duty in every parent to insure, as being the most economical and convenient way of providing tor his posterity.— Insurances from the country may be effected by application to the Resident Director, Edward Boyd, Esq., 8, Waterloo place, Pall- inall, London ; or to any of the Company's agents.

ROBERTSON, Secretary. EETING of the LIVERPOOL SHAREHOLDERS of the EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. ( From the I. iverpool Journal.) A Meeting of the Liverpool Shareholders of this Railway was held on Thursday, at the Clarendon Rooms, L. Heyworth, Esq., in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said, that at a previous meeting it had been resolved that the Directors should be written to, to send down Mr. J. C. Robertson, their Secretary, to explain to the Lancashire shareholders the various particulars respecting the speculation on which they wished to be informed. A letter had been received to which he would now call their attention. A letter was then read from Mr. J. C. Robertson, in which he sta'ed that the Directors could not, officially, give assent to the demand of the Liverpool share- holders. They considered that Mr. Robertson's attendance was inexpedient, be- cause, if he went to one body of shareholders, he should go to another, and, indeed, like applications had been made from Norwich and Manchester. The Directors could not, under the Act, call any but a general meeting, which would take place on the 2fith of September, being a much earlier time than the Act de- manded. The Directors recognised the importance of a good understanding between them and the Liverpool subscribers, who were more numerous and ( from their experience in railroad^ more influential than those of any other place, and hoped that, at the general meeting, the Liverpool subscribers would attend. The letter highly eulogized 1he ability of Mr. Hall, who had gone to London to examine into the particulars of the speculation. Mr. BOLTON moved a Resolution of confidence in the Directors, and re- gretted that Mr. Robertson could not attend. Mr. ELLIS YATES seconded the motion, which was carried nem con. A GENTLEMAN moved that the Liverpool shareholders were entitled to share in the Direction of the Company. M. WOTHERSPOON asked if the present Directors went out next meeting. The CHAIRMAN— Not fill February, 1838. Mr. SMITH wished fo know how the affairs and prospects of the Company were. Mr. HALL said the Report of the House of Commons showed that the in- vestment might return 23 percent. Some of the heavier shareholders in Liver- pool, however, wished to examine more minutely info the prospeetusof the Com- pany. He accordingly had proceeded to London, and found the Directors and the Secretary most willing to afford him the fullest information. He had not bought or sold one share since his return, nor would he buy until this meeting was over. ( Applause.) For passengers alone they calculated on receiving ^ 338,000 per an- num ; or, if the usual railway estimates were made, there would be ^' 450,000 per annum from this source alone. Besides this they might calculate, from other sources, on a prospective increase of .£ 130,000. The terminus was at Shoreditch ; and they took no credit for what might accrue from passengers wishing, from curiosity, to see a line of railway without a tunnel. There were 64,000 shaies in all, of which from 15,000 to 2 ), 000 were taken in Liverpool. The CHAIRMAN said that the Railway would cost a million and a half of money, and the income from coaching alone would pay eleven per cent. The cost of conveying a ton of goods from Norwich to London was now £$ 6s. 8d, per coach, and £ z per van, and by the Railway it would be £ 2 13s. 6d.; but the Act crave this Railway the maximum of 6d. per ton per mile, while other Railways could only charge 3d. The revenue arising from the car- riage of goods was only estimated before the Commons at ^ 161,000 per annum, whilst the real amount would be .£' 300,000 more, or, according to the original Pros- pectus, ^ 489,000 yearly. For his own part, he had so much confidence in the Company's prospects, that he would not sell his Shares for an enormous premium, unless he was sure of being able to replace them. ( Applause.) There was now, on this line, ^ 1,100,090 paid for transit of goods by land carriage. The Act did not allow the Shareholders to vote by proxy, and therefore it was desirable that / the Liverpool proprietors should be well represented in the Direction. « « » ? , Mr. SMITH said the Liverpool proprietors held one- third of the stock, and would suggest that a Committee be appointed to consider the best mode of coi » - j| municatinc on the subject with the Directors. The CHAIRMAN opposed this Sub- Committee. Nineteen of the Lorn Directors held stock to the amount of ^ 88,000, and would act properly on accol of their stake. { r r" Tf, Mr. BATESON moved that it was expedient that the Liverpool proprietor ... should be represented in the Direction. The motion was carried unanimousI^ A - It was then moved, seconded, and carried, that Mr. Hall and Mr. L. Heyworfi would be proper persons to be placed in the Direction. \ ^ gjfcl^ Mr. HALL and Mr. HEYWORTH severally pledged themselves to do their ^ f^ V* TLi duty towards the shareholders. Mr. HALL moved a resolution expressive of the conviction of the meeting, that the Eastern Counties Railway possessed so many singular advantages as to justify a well- grounded confidence* of its proving 0' ie of the most beneficial lines in the kingdom. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, after which the meeting separated. 294 j o h n b u l l. _____ September 11. TUESDAY'S GAZETTE.

Mole, Minister for Foreign Affairs and President of the Council; M. Gasparin, Minister of the Interior, with M. de Remusat as Undersecretary; A!. Duchatel, Minister of Finance ; Marshal Soult, Minister of " War, the duties of which office will be performed by Marshal Molitor until the former signifies either his accptance or refusal of the appointment; Admiral Rosamel, Minis- ter of the Marine; M. Guizot, Minister of Public Instruction; M. Dumont, Minister of Commerce ; M. Persil, Minister of Justice. The Moniteur of Wednesday contains several Royal Ordinances, constituting the new Cabinet. The resignations of Marshal Maison, late War Minister, and of M. l'assy, late Minister of Commerce, fire accepied. The provisional direction of the War Department is enstrnsted to M. de Rosamel, and of ihe Department of Commerce to M. Duchatel. Thus it appears that only two places in the French Cabinet remain unoccupied. Should Marshal Soult decline to join the Cabinet, it was not thought impossible that M. Sebastian would obtain the situation, and the long- desired Marshal's baton at the same time. With respect to the Department of Commerce, it ap- pears to be resolved to place that uncfer the direction of M. Martin ( du Nord), who is at present in Switzerland. MADIUD IN 1833.— This is one of the most interesting worts we have seen on the present engrossing subject, the state of the Spanish people. The author, who is evidently a man of acute discernment, appears to have studied Ihe Spanish nation with a painter's eye. He sketches every grade with a graphic power rarely equalled. From the Prince to the peasant he sets before the reader the peculiarities of each in a living panorama with a skill and power seldom attained. Such a work as this must unquestionably become extensively popular. Major Skinner, the popular author of Excursions in the Himalaya Mountains, is on the point of producing a Narrative of his Adventures during an Overland Journey to India. His route was through Egypt, Syria, Palestine, across the Desert to Bagdad and Babylon, and thence onwards. He investigated all the sacred localities of Jerusalem, and its hallowed neighbourhood, and among many other interesting researches connected with the holy scenes of the events recorded both, in the Old and New Testaments, he lingered among the mounds of Babylon and inspected the mighty ruins of the Tower of Babel. MEMORIALS OF MRS. HEMANS, WITH ILLUSTRATIONS FROM HER PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.—" The best biography of Mrs. Hemans " will be found in her productions. The memorials before us are exactly what they should be— elegant tracings of the spirit, not a chronicle of the sordid and common- place incidents of every- day life. The compiler of thes& memoirs has done his task excellently, and has produced two most delightful volumes. His work will exasperate no enmities, wound no feelings, his remarks are always judicious, and he seems not only to have studied, but to have participated in the spirit of the poet, whom he has in this work so ably commemorated." — Metropolitan. Mr. Washington Irving is about to produce a new work, entitled Astoria. The reputation of this writer is second to none of modern times ; witness his celebrated Sketch Book, which attained a sale of no less than 25,000 copies.' Mr. Irving's genius is no less remarkable for grace and dramatic excellence than for variety— narrative, wit, invention, and history, all being equally within its grasp. In Astoria he has broken new ground, which will no doubt add to his fame a fresh laurel. Astoria will be published on the 1st of October. CAPT. MARRVAT'S NEW WORK, MR. MIDSHIPMAN EASY.—" Capt. Marryat's writings depend for success on the truthfulness of the general impression they make, their broad effects, their sustained humour, and the rapidity with which incident follows incident. In the present work the humorous subterfuges of Jack at Tetuan, his abduction of the Vice- Consul in disguise, and the cross purposes to which he reduces the two ladies and their lovers, remind us of those complex Spanish novels in which the interest consists of a curious complication of mistakes and characters. The escape of the galley slaves, and the burning of the house at Palermo, and the adventures of Mesty, who is cleverly supported throughout, and the Priest in the mountains, are each excellent, as indeed are the numerous under- plots and episodes that fill the volumes ; but we must refer to, instead of extracting them."— Atlas. THE SKIN.— The brilliant transparency of a fine complexion is one of the most valuable components of female beauty ! When nature has been niggardly in this respect, or where it is desired to preserve or heighten her charms, Rowland's Kalydor ( a vegetable exotic pro- duction) has been found the only efficacious, and at the same time innoxious preparation. In removing every unsightly irregularity of the skin, whether occasioned by illness, irritation ofthe surface from exposure either to the sun, sea breezes, or other accidental causes, the operation ofthe Kalydor is certain, expeditious, and delightfully soothing and refreshing— never failing to realise a healthy and ra- diant bloom.

SCHOOL OF THE ESTA WISHED CHURCH. — Upwards of 12,0001. having been subscribed for the purpose of erecting Schools at Liver- pool, for the use of the poor, where the Scriptures would be freely taught as the standard of religious education, the foundation- stone of the first School was laid on Monday, in Bood- street, at the north end ofthe town, by the Rev. J. Brooks, the Rector. A procession, con- sisting of upwards of 10, OOOpersons, including 1,000 members of the Tradesman's Conservative Association, 500 of the operatives, 7,000 boys and girls belonging to the Corporation Schools, and about 100 Clergymen— was formed through the town to the site of the building. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, the Rev. Rector took the trowel, presented to him by the Chairman of the Committee ( Mr. J. Aspinall, late Mayor of Liverpool), and the stone having been lowered in proper masonic form, concluded the ceremony with a most appropriate prayer. The following inscription was beautifully en- graved on the stone by Mr. Leatherborne, of Liverpool:—" This first stone of public school- rooms, to be erected for the Scriptural edu- cation of the poor of this parish, was laid on Monday, the 5th of Sep- tember, in the year of otir Lord 1836, and in the 7th year ofthe reign of his Majesty'King William IV., by the Rev. Jonathan Brooks, A. M., one of the Rectors of Liverpool. The fund of this building, as also of others which are to be hereafter erected, was raised by the voluntary donations of the inhabitants of this town, to record their attachment and devotion to the great principles of Protestantism, the free use of the revealed word of God, and exceeded in the short space of a few weeks the sum ofl0,0001."— TheRev. Mr. Brooks then gave the benediction.— The children of the Schools, joined by the Clergy, < fec., concluded the business of the day by singing a hymn; after which the immense assemblage retired to" their own homes, having previously given three cheers for Church and King. ASCENT OF THE NEW AND STUPENDOUS BALLOON. On no previous occasion in the annals of aerostation has public curiosity been so strongly excited as on that ofthe ascent of this" Great Leviathan of the Air," which took place on Friday afternoon from Vauxhall- gardens. Long I lefore the doors were opened a large num- ber of persons were in waiting for admission, while every avenue to the surrounding neighbourhood poured forth its hundreds, anxious to catch a view of this unparalleled wonder. Of the size of this balloon our regular readers are already aware; but for the benefit of those who may not have seen a description of it before, we reprint the following extract from the prospectus issued on the occasion : " The balloou is 157 feet in circumference; and the extreme height of the whole, when inflated, and with the car attached, is 80 feet. It is formed of 2,000 yards of crimson and white silk, imported in a raw slate from Italy expressly for the purpose. It contains 70,000 cubic feet of gas. Asa matter of curiosity, it maybe stated, that the inflated silk will sustain an atmospheric pressure of 20,433, GOOlbs., or 9,122 tons. The net work which envelopes the silk is of hemp, and the car of basketwork ; the grapple, or anchor, is of wrought iron, and will be attached to an elastic Indian rubber cord, from the factory of Mr. Sievier. This will prevent, in a great measure, any sudden jerk in stopping the balloon in rough weather whereby so many accidents have occurred." We may add, that the silk is exceedingly thick in the fabric, and wove in a peculiar manner. The gores are united by a cement invented by Mr. Green, of a nature so tenacious as to pre- vent all chance of separation. On the doors being thrown open, the balloon was found to he already one- half inflated, the process, from the extraordinary size of the machine, having commenced as early as ten o'clock. About two o'clock a sudden change took place in the weather, and from that hour until past four o'clock it rained incessantly; but the ardour of the lovers of aerostatics appeared to be nothing daunted by the unlo- ward occurrence, for they . flocked into the gardens regardless of the " pelting of the pitiless storm," many elegantly- dressed women not even opening their parasols. to shield them from the rain, for fear of obscuring their view of the balloon. By a little after two the balloon was nearly two- thirds filled, and raising its euorinous crown, waring gracefully amidst the foliagefcf the surrounding trees, began to exhibit its extraordinary dimensions to the view of the spectators, who were loud and unanimous in their expressions of admiration at the mag- nificent spectacle which it presented. Shortly after four a favourable change appeared on the face of the heavens, at which time it became apparent the inflation was nearly completed, the balloon having assumed the form of an immense pear. About, half- pastfour o'clock, the rain having subsided, preparations for the ascent were com- menced ; they, however occupied nearly two hours, the power of the balloon several times raising a large party of the L division of police, who had hold of the netting, from the ground, and notwithstanding near 30 half hundred weights were also attached by ropes to the stupendous machine. The inflation was under the direction of Mr. Hutchinson. The peculiarly heavy state ofthe atmosphere produced a weight of condensed air upon the surface of the balloon of nearly half a ton, but so excellently hal everything been arranged, and so highly rarified was the gas, that the balloon was sufficiently buoyant to nave taken up twenty people. At five o'clock a large party of the nobility and gentry were ad- mitted by tickets within the arena, where the inflation took place. Shortly afterwards the car, which on account of the weather had been stripped of its splendid purple velvet covering and gilded eagles' heads, was brought forward with only a covering of scarlet cloth, and at- tached to the ring to which the ropes of the netting had been fastened. Twenty- four bags of ballast, each weighing 141bs., were put within it, as were also six carrier pigeons and a number of other articles. At 20 minutes to six o'clock, everything being in readiness, the following persons entered the car:— Mr. and Mrs. Green, Mr. James Green, Capt. Currie, Mr. Hillvard, Mr. Edwin Gye ( one of the pro- prietors of the Gardens), Mr. W. Hughes ( another gentleman con- nected with the Gardens), and Mr. Holland. They all displayed the highest intrepidity, and were greeted with the loud cheers of the crowd assembled. At a quarter past six the intrepid party shoqk hands with their friends, and the signal gun was fired, when this magnificent machine, released from its fastenings, rose in proud and majestic grandeur, amid the spontaneous cheers of the assembled company ( which at that time was computed to consist of not less than 50,0() 0 persons), the band playing God save the King. It floated at first gently away in a south- westerly direction, but shortly afterwards got into another current of air, which carried it in a south- easterly course, while the aeronauts continued to wave their hats and flags, as they travelled through the air. They remained in view about a quarter of an hour. We have been kindly favoured by one of the intrepid aeronauts, with the following hurried narrative of his voyage :— " We left the gardens at a quarter past six o'clock, and soon obtained an altitude of a mile and a half, the sun at this time shining beautifully. The balloon took rather a south- west direction, and it appeared as if we should go into Sussex, but meeting with another current of air, it proceeded over Greenwich, crossed the river, and again at Woolwich. We were then two miles and a quarter from the earth, and were travelling much quicker than previously. In a short time we were opposite Gravesend, which we recognised by the two piers being lighted. It being now dark, we thought of descending, which was done in about ten minutes after we had passed the latter place. Having again crossed the water to the Kentish coast, we fell in a field about two miles from Cliffe, and five miles from Rochester, all delighted with the trip. The balloon answered every expectation, and would easily have carried 16 persons. It being dark at the time we reached the earth, very little assistance could be procured, nor, indeed, was much required."— Standard. The King of BOKHARA has issued a royal ordinance, prohibiting his Hindoo subjects from burning their dead, on the ground that it is offensive, unhealthy, and abhorent to the feelings of Musselmans. The Berwick Warder says— The friends of Lord HOWICK are haring recourse to desperate means to keep up his Lordship's cause in the Registration Court. Objections to voters have been served in all directions; and it has come to our knowledge, that an elector in Tweedmonth was actually induced, while in a state of intoxication, to sign several papers, which turned out to be notices of objection; the moment he discovered the trick, he waited on such of the parties as he knew, and disclaimed all knowledge of the act. The Whig- Rads in the north- west parts of Essex, haVe during the late registration cut but a sorry figure. From what appeared in one of their oracles it should seem that the Conservatives were to be crushed at the next election. On examining the new lists, however, for 50 parishes polling at Saffron Walden, the increase of strength of the mouvement party may be safely computed at less than 20 voters. As to the objections on the part of the Yellows, scarcely half a dozen have been heard of: having no funds, nor friends in a condition to furnish any, and fearing that they might be called upon to pay certain expenses in default of substantiating such objections, the Radicals have been compelled ( much against their inclination) to remain quiet. Dr. DALTON, who has for years turned his attention to the amount of carbonic acid in the atmosphere, says that he has satisfied himself that its average quantity is one part in 1,000. He is also of opinion that the quantity of this gas in the atmosphere is constantly the same in town and country, and that even in a crowded theatre it seldom rises to one per cent. Mrs. THOMPSON, a lady of fortune residing at Cheltenham, has presented three clocks to the Churches of that town— the gift is con- sidered as well- timed as it is liberal. Experiments of growing hops, both in Wiltshire and Essex, this year, have succeeded so well, that an article hitherto unknown in those counties is likely to become a staple commodity in each. The following is perhaps one of the most singular and successful expedients ever practised of obtaining a good dinner:— Monday at noon, a gentleman (?) highly respectably dressed, his fingers ornamented with the most costly rings, and gold seals hanging dependent from his waistcoat, entered a celebrated restaurateur's at the west end, and ordered a most sumptuous dinner. Venison, hare, turtle, and soups formed but a part of his expensive entertainment, and the waiter saw with delight joint, after joint disappear, thinking, no doubt, to make an immense profit from the articles consumed. Two bottles of champagne were consecutively called for— brought— j and drank; a fine melon was placed upon the table and disappeared ; a basket of peaches shared the same fate, in short, there was scarcely an article but what was produced, and hardly a luxury but what was consumed. The List bottle of champagne had, however, scarcely been drained, when a sheriff's officer, accompanied by a policeman entered the apartment, and desired to know if his name was Thomp- son ? and being answered in the affirmative they immediately called a coach, into wbich he was forced, and in the hearing of the ' waiters ordered the coachman to drive to Bow- street, telling them at the same time, if they called at the office they should be recompensed for what- ever expenses the defaulter had incurred. But, upon inquiry at the Police Office, it was discovered to be a trumped up tale, and that the officer, policeman ( who had no number on his coat), and gentleman, were all confederates belonging to the snmeparty, and who, no doubt, as soon as they had left, would resume their purpose in another dis- trict. The gentleman who demolished such a number of articles is about five feet high, iight- coloured hair; takes snuff, and speaks with a mincing accent. It is said that the expenses of a law suit respecting a window in Snig- lane, Prescot, tried on Monday at Liverpool, will be nearly 5001., and that the value of the house, and window into the bargain, is short of 501. The Poor Law Commissioners have issued forms for a new set of accounts, which must be used by all Parishes and Unions after the 29th of next month. The principal alteration in parish officers' books is the rate book, for which a new form is given, and no rate made after the above date will be a legal one, unless made according to that form. A very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of St. Leonard's, Shoreditcli, was held on Wednesday evening, to take into considera- tion the operation of the new Poor Law Act. From 1,500 to 2,000 persons were present. A petition to his MAJESTY ( which had been, drawn up by a committee appointed for the purpose), complaining of the Act, of the " rules, orders, and regulations" of the new work- house system laid down by the Act, and of the cruel effects alleged to be produced by it on the paupers, was read to the meeting. After some very long, very warm, and very acrimonious speeches, con- demnatory of the Poor Law Act and its promoters, had been made^ and received with great satisfaction by the meeting, the petition was unanimously agreed to. The landlord of a gin palace in the neighbourhood of Leicester- square, by way of attracting customers, lias adopted the following novel expedient:— He has had bills printed in the same style with play- bills, ornamented at the top with an engraving of the Royal arms, and entitled " Theatre Royal'" The bill goes on to state that " the landlord is sole lessee ; that he is responsible for the manage- ment of the establishment; and that he has procured an unrivalled association of the most spirited characters, whose inspiring influence will be constantly at the command of a generous and enlightened public." It then states that amongst the dramatis persona; are in- cluded " the following first- rate performers:— Messrs. Champagneo, Burgundio, Clareto, & c.; Signors Oporto, Sherryano, Maderio, assisted by Monsieur Brandy de Cognac, Madame Rummania, Mademoiselle Jenny Jacko ; Mons. Ale ( from Berkshire), Mr- Samson Stout, from Cork and Dublin ; and Master Porter, who stands unrivalled for strength." The bill concludes with " orders are admitted." We have this week to notice two precious specimens of Whig legis- lation— the first is thus described by the Leeds Intelligencer:— It has just been discovered that an Act of Parliament was passed in the last six or eight hours of the Session just ended, by which the people of Great Britain are wholly deprived of electoral rights and privileges from the 1st day of November to the 1st day of December; and should any unforseen event produce a dissolution of Parliament in that period of time, no man would have a vote to give, and no House of Commons could be chosen, whatever the emergency. The origin of this truly Whig sample of statesmanship is as follows. Our readers are aware that the Reform Act passed late in the Session of 1832, and that, for the general convenience, the first revision ol the electoral lists was put off a month. Mr. Fox MAULE, as some may probably have heard, is Lord JOH. V RUSSELL'S Under- Secretary of State; and he is so great a statesman, and attends so closely to business, that in the present year he actually re- issued, as Instructions to Parish Officers, a reprint of the old circu- lar of 1832, which directed that the lists were to be prepared, printed, posted, &. C., a month later than is required by the Reform Act; and in order to remedy his own blunder, he smuggles through both Houses a short Act ( the 6lh and 7th William IV. cap 101,) which directs that the Courts of Revision, in the present year, shall beholden ' at some lime between the 15th day of Octoberinclusive, and the 25th day of Novembei inclusive;' that is, a month later than last year. Now mark the handiwork of this brilliant Whig official. Although he procures the passing of an Act of Parliament to remedy his blunder as to the circular, he forgets to continue by that Act the old lists until the new ones are made, but suffers them to expire with the month of October, and leaves the electoral body in a state of disfranchisement during the entire month of November! The next blunder occurs in the Act for Registering Births, Mar- riages, drc. In the 7th clause of the Act ( 6 and 7 Win. IV. cap. 86), it is enacted that the Guardians of every Union declared under the provisions of an Act passed in the fifth and sixth years of his present Majesty, intituled " An Act for the amendment and better adminis- tration of the laws relating to the poor in England and Wales," shall before the 1st October in this year form districts for registration; and the Guardians are to appoint the Registrars of those districts, subject to the approval of the Registrar General. Now, the fact is that the Poor Law Amendment Act was passed in the fourth and fifth years of his present Majesty, and consequently there have been no unions declared under an Act of the fifth and sixth years of his . Majesty's reign, and of course there is no power to appoint Registrars of the Unions already formed, until Parliament shall remedy the blunder. A race of white Indians have, it is alleged, recently been discovered on the south- western side of the rocky mountains. One tribe is de- nominated the Mawkeys, and the other the Nabachoes. Their complexion, it is said, is whiter than the ordinary race of white men. A New York paper ofthe 10th of August states that the packet ship Europe, just arrived from Liverpool, conveyed 30,0001. in gold, consigned to Messrs. BROWN, Brothers, and Co., of that city. Dr. R. B. TODD has been elected Professor of Physiology and of General and Morbid Anatomy in King's College. Though there is no doubt of the number of Conservative voters being every wheregreatlyincreasedintheyear'sregisters, weseethat the Radicals are, in some places preparing to make a last effort to swell, if possible, their diminished ranks, which we trust will have no other effect than that of increasing the vigilance and motions of their triumphant opponents. ATTEMPT TO MURDER MR. JOSEPH GIBBONS.— Mr. Joseph Gib- bons, the son of Sir John Gibbons, the Magistrate, has, it appears, been for some time past the marked object of the vengeance of the swell mob, on account of his frequent apprehensions of members of the fraternity, and on Saturday last, whilst walking through Smith- field he w. is suddenly surrounded by a gang of about thirty ruffians, who with dreadful oaths and imprecations assaulted him, exclaim- ing, " that is Sir John Gibbons' son"—" Murder him"—" Knife him," < fcc. Mr. Gibbons with much dexterity and manly exertion at length escaped, covered with blood from severe wounds received during the struggle. He was immediately conveyed to St. Bartho- lomew's Hospital, where he met with prompt attention, and his wounds being dressed were found to be of a serious but not danger- ous character. It should be observed that, whilst engaged with the swell mob, the imminent danger of Mr. Gibbons' situation was per- ceived by a policeman, who immediately ran lo his rescue; he also was overpowered by numbers, and was unable to capture any ol the assassins. We are unacquainted with the name of ihe brave man who thus alone fearlessly exposed himself; had his front teeth broken by blows from a life preserver, and was otherwise severely in- jured. We deem him worthy of commendation, and should this notice meet the eve of any of the authorities, we trust it may in- duce them to inquire into his case, and reward lum as he deserves. September 18. j o h n b u l l . 690 NAVAL AND MILITARY. ( From our own Correspondent.) PORTSMOUTH, September 9, 1836.— The head- quarters of the 9/" th regiment, commanded bj; Col. Hamilton, C. B., arrived from Ceylon in his Majesty's ship Jupiter on Sunday, and were landed the follow- ing d} iy at Gosport, and are now in Foston Barracks with the depot companies. Two companies, in charge of Major DaiTah and Capt. Kelsor, are expected in the Symetry Bark. The Jupiter had a good passage from St. Helena to Ascension ; the latter island she left on the 6th of August. The Lynx, man- of- war brig, was lying there. The East India squadron were healthy. Winchester, with the Admi- ral on board, was on her passage to Madras ; Zebra at New South Wales, but the Victor ordered to relieve her; Rattlesnake at the Isle of France ; Wolf in the Straits of Malacca; Algerine gone to Trin- comalee ; flyacinth gone to Bombay for her orders to proceed home ; Andromache and Rose at Calcutta; Raleigh on the Coast of Java. The Jupiter was under orders to go into harbour to be paid off, but since telegraphed from London to remain at Spithead, and it is re- ported she will go to the West Indies with troops. The following naval officers cnme passengers in her from India. Commander the Hon. D. A. Pelham, and Mr. Hookey, purser, on promotion ; Lieut. Rainier on leave; Lieut. Gray and Messrs. Freelmg and Newland, midshipmen, from Raleigh ; Mr. Brown, master, and Mr. Lee, mid- shipman, from Victor. Lord Auckland had appointed Mr. John Drumraoud, surgeon of the Jupiter, to be his surgeon in ordinary, and Mr. Bradford, assistant from the Winchester, has been put in the Jupiter to act as surgeon. Lieut. 1- 1. J. Harvey, from the Winches- ter, has joined the Raleigh, in place of Lieut. Gray. The 97th regi- ment has been several years at Ceylon, and replaced by the 90th Light Infantry. They were inspected at Foston Barracks on Wed- nesday by Major- Gen. Sir T. M'Malion. The Alfred and Cain- bridge freetraders sailed from Portsmouth on Wednesday; the first went direct to Calcutta, the other embarked detachments of the 58th and 61 st regiments, under the command of Capt. Burnside of the 61 st, and has gone to Ceylon, and afterwards to Bombay. The Vansittart, from China, went into St. Helena Roads on the 1st of August, as the Inspector went to sea. ^ The Beacon, surveying ship, Lieut. Graves, sailed for Malta on Wednesday. The Stakesby transport, Lieut. Ward, came up to Spithead last night, after a very good passage of 19 days from Halifax. She has part of the 1st Battalion of the Rifles on " board, in charge of Capt. Warren, and is ordered to go on with them to Chatham. The bead- quarters, under the command of Lieut.- Col. Eles, are hourly looked for in the " Catherine Stewart Forbes," transport, which was to leave the next day ( « '. e. 20tli August). Vice- Admiral Sir P. Halket, in the Melville, was at Halifax on the 19th of August; it was his intention to go down to the West India Islands about the middle of October, call at Bermuda, thence to Antigua, and finish the year at Jamaica. The Shallower is in harbour, refitting, and, when ready, is to go to Jersey to protect the fishery. The Maitfand is expected from Canada with the 79th, and will go on with them to Leith. The Spitfire steamer, from Malta, has brought an account of the murder of Mr. Cooper, Purser of H. M. S. Portland, by the natives, while shooting near Athens. APPOINTMENTS.— Lieut. C. O. Iiayes, from Hastings, to the Incon- stant ; Mr. R. M'Crae, Assist.- Surg, of Raleigh, to the Winchester. SHIPS ON FOREIGN STATIONS.— Blonde, Commodore Mason. C. B., and Sparrowhawk, at Callao, 14th April; Harrier, at Buenos Ayres, 14th June ; Talbot, at Coquimbo, 7tli April; Beagle, put into Simon's Bay on the 8t. h July, and sailed the next day for Ascension, West- Indies, and England; Pelican sailed from the Cape, 4th July, for the Mauritius ; Scout sailed from Simon's Bay for the coast of Africa, 7th July; Lynx, at Ascension, 6th August; North Star, at San Bias. By the arrival of the Spitfire steam- vessel at Falmouth on Tues- day, bringing the Mediterranean mail, advices have been received from Alexandria to the 5th ult. The accounts from Colonel Ches- ney were favourable, and the expedition was proceeding satisfacto- rily. The Tigris steam- vessel, lost recently in a hurricane on the Euphrates, had been recovered without any material damage, It was found with its keel upwards. MILITARY COURT- MARTIAL.— A district Court- martial was? held on Wednesday upon John Bolton, one of the pay- Serjeants of the 1st battalion of Grenadier Guards. The inquiry was held at the Wel- lington barrack, St. J ames's- park, and a great deal of interest was excited in consequence of the high character which the accused had borne in the regiment. The proceedings were strictly private. Lieut.- Col. Lyster was the president, and it seems that the seijeant was charged with embezzling upwards of 401., with which he had been entrusted to pay the company. The prisoner was sentenced to three months' liara labour at Brixton, to be reduced to the ranks, and half of his pay was ordered to be applied until the defalcation be fully made up. We last week mentioned the ceremony of the foundation of another Popish Chapel in Essex— the following is from the Essex Standard:— On Tuesday last, the first stone of the ROMAN Catholic Chapel at Brentwood was laid by the Hon. Lady PETRE, in a field, the gift of his Lordship, opposite* the grammar school, near the entrance of the town from the Tilbury road, in the presence of a numerous assem- blage of the neighbourhood, including the Catholic families of dis- tinction. After the ceremony, the Rev. Mr. LAST, of lngatestone, addressed his Lordship and the company present, in an able and eloquent manner. Previous to the ceremony, il. WALMSLEY, Esq., entertained his friends with a dejeuner a la fourchette, at his resi- dence, Middleton Hall. In consequence of the unfavourable weather a temporary awning was erected for the accommodation of the com- pany. Lord PETRE contributed the sum of 1001., and the bricks for building; Lady PETRE, 501.; and the Catholic families, we believe, have been very liberal also. The Chapel is dedicated to St. Helena, " who was a native of Colchester. The Liverpool Standard says:— The Corporation Schools are now little more than nurseries for Popery, mere miniature Maynooths, where Popish Catechisms and Popish doctrines are instilled by Popish Priests into the rising gene- ration ; and where five- sixths of the children are regularly taken to hear and see the mummeries practised at the Mass- house in Scot- land- road. Some of the Popish Journals having contradicted the statement that the convict M'HALE was a cousin of the Titular Archbishop's, the following extract from the evidence given on the trial, has been reprinted:— " EnwARn MACHALE, examined by Mr. BOURKE.— Lives in the village of Cum.

A gentleman residing in the vicinity of this town ( Derby) nearly two years ago, gave directions to the keeper of his lodge gates, to offer employment to every able- bodied man who solicited alms, at 2s. a day and a pint of ale. During the time that has since elapsed, this offer has been made to 150 beggars of this description; out of that large number only one accepted the offer, and he was employed in the garden; he did not stop above three or four days. One of these idle rascals, on being expostulated with, said he had rather beg than work— it was a better trade ; that was a poor street in which he could not get 3d., and he could go through twenty in a day.— Derby Reporter. Another lamentable accident occurred on Wednesday on the works of the Liverpool and Birmingham Railroad, near Kensall- green. A man named RICHARD BAYCOCK was attending a train of cars laden with the excavated earth, and having cast off from the others, the one on which he was riding was in the act of putting down the break with his foot to stop the car, when he slipt off and fell underneath the wheels, which passed transversely across the body and over his right leg, the bone of which was smashed in a shocking manner: he also sustained some internal injuries of a most serious nature. The poor fellow was conveyed on a litter to St. George's Hospital, where it was found necessary to immediately amputate the injured limb above the knee. BAYCOCK is a fine grown, athletic youngman, in the 21styear of his age. He has a wife and two children dependent on his labotir nno the ESPECIAL NOTICE of the LADIES.— C. and A. . H.

" Such is the pressure of the times in our town," said a Birmingham manufacturer some years back to his agent ill London, " that we have good workmen who will get up the inside of a watch for eighteen shillings."—" Pooh! that is nothing compared to Lon- don," replied his friend, " we hare boys here who will get np the inside of a chimney for sixpence." The Liberal Junta of Malaga have laid an extra contribution on the Duke of WELLINGTON'S property in that neighbourhood. At a numerous and respectable meeting of the Freemen of Great Yarmouth, held at the King's Head Tavern, King's- street, on Monday evening, for the purpose of taking into consideration the notice of Mr. PRAED'S resignation in the event of a dissolution of Parliament, the following resolution was proposed and agreed to:— " it was resolved unanimously to open a subscription, the object of which is to purchase a piece of plate, to be presented to Winthrop M. Praed, Esq., as a testimony of esteem for his exemplary con- duct during the time he has represented this borough in Parliament, and more especially for his firm, zealous, and manly support of the rights and privileges of the freemen." Prince WILLIAM of BRUNSWICK is to be immediately married to a daughter of the King of WIRTEMBURG. The Rational says that an English physician, just arrived at Paris, having lost all his money at a gaming- house, cut his throat with a razor the same night, at an hotel near the Palais Royale. Some sporting characters in the west of « jFrance wished to get up races in imitation of those of Paris; but the Prefet forbade the banns, declaring that a race meeting was against the law of associations! The Emperor of Russia, by a decree dated August 12, has ordered a general levy of soldiers in every part of the empire except Bessa- rabia and another province. Out of every 1,000 men five persons are to be taken for the army. The decree is principally motived on the diminution of the army, caused by the permission which was some time ago given to the soldiers to retire after twenty years'" on censured" service, and by the substitution, in 1834, of a partial levy in districts for the general annual levy of soldiers which previously existed. A new steam vessel superbly fitted np, built expressly by order Of the Russian Consul- General ( Chevalier BENKHAUSEN), was launched on Monday. It is intended for the conveyance of the Emperor to the distant ports of his dominions, and a Captain and two Lieutenants of the Russian navy will take the command of her. An elegant dinner was served in the saloon of the vessel to a party of sixty, in- cluding the Prince and PrincessVon Wittgenstein, Prince and Princess Gaiitzen, Connt and Countess Schwaloff, Countess Czernichoff and two Counts Tolstoy, Capt. Quadreski, and other subjects of his Im perial Majesty, who took a trip to the Nore in the steamer, and returned in the evening. The election to fill the vacancy in the representation of East Cum- berland, caused by the appointment of Mr. BLAMIRE to the office of Chief Commissioner of Tithes, took place on Friday se'nnight, in front of the County Hall. Major AGLIONBY proposed, and Mr. HOWARD, of Greystock, seconded, the nomination of Mr. JAMES, of Barrock Lodge, whom, in the absence of any other candidate, the High Sherift declared to be duly elected.

The plan which has been determined upon, and the tables of premium?, may be obtained by application at the Office; and the Directors believe that their scale of premiums will be found to be as beneficial to the public as that of any other Company, which is established on safe principles. The present amount, of Capital is amply sufficient to justify the Directors in entering upon this new engagement, which they do, in the confident expectation that the members, who will be mutual insurers, will erelong receive a consider- able benefit, although, by the arrangements that have been made, no member will be liable to contribute towards losses. Insurers in this Office will have the option of receiving their sliare of the profits, either in money payments, or by additions to the sums insured, or by the premiums being reduced, as may be preferred.

Gout, Rheuma- tism, Lumbago, and Sciatica, and all painful Affections of the Nerves, giving in- stantaneous relief in the most severe paroxysms. It has heen extensively em- ployed in the public and private practice of several French Physicians, who have declared that in no case have they found it to fail in curing those formidable and tormenting maladies. Since its introduction into England it has in every case fully maintained the high character its unrivalled success has obtained for it on the Continent. Patients who had for years drawn on a miserable existence, and many who had lost the use of their limbs by rheumatism and paralysis, have, by a few applications, been restored to health, strength, and comfort, after electricity, galvanism, blistering, veratrine, morphia, colchium, and all the usual remedies had been found useless. Its astonishing and almost miraculous effects have also been experienced in the cure of nervous and rheumatic pains of the head and face, paralytic affections, contracted and stiff joints, glandular swellings, pains of the chest and bones, chronic rheumatism, palpitation of the heart, dif- ficult respiration, & c. It requires no restraint from business or pleasure.

TESTIMONIALS. From Joseph Henry Green, Esq., F. R. S^, one of the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons, Surgeon to St. Thomas's Hospital, and Professor of Surgery in King's College, London. I have made trial of Mr. Franks's Solution of Copaiba, at St. Thomas's Hos- pital, in a variety of cases of discharges in the male and female, and the results warrant my stating, that it is an efficacious remedy, and one which does not pro- duce the usual unpleasant effects of Copaiba.

My dear Sir,— I have given your medicine in very many cases of Gonorrhoea and Gleets, some of which had been many months under other treatment, and can bear testimony to its great efficacy. I have found it to cure in a much shorter time, and with more benefit to the general health, than any other mode of treat- ment I know of: the generality of cases have been cured within a week from the commencement of taking the medicine, and some of them in less time than that. Have the goodness to send me another supply.— I am, dear Sir, yours, very truly, April 15', 1835. ( Signed) " WILLIAM HENTSCH."

TO CO HHJiSIJ0A DEN 1 S. In reply to numerous friends, ice beg to say that every preparation had been made, at a great expense, for increasing the quantity of mat- ter to be hereafter contained in JOHN BULL by enlarging its size; but that inconsequence of the many a;> plications received on the subject, we have resolved, regardless of the costand trouble, to increase its contents ONE- HALF, at the reduced price of Sixpence, leaving the paper the same size as at present, so as to bind up as heretofore. From the sudden- ness of the alteration in our determination, consequent upon the desire of so many of our subscribers, we have to request their indulgence for any trifling imperfections in our first number upon the enlarged scale, • which will be published next Sunday. Not understanding the U't/ ch language, we are unable to appreciate LLEWELLYN'S reason for calling, the safety- cabs DINORBENS. JoKEii'SIOA- E is entirely lost, from the fact that Mr. CAMPBELL, the poet, is not a member of the Athenaeum. Many favours long delayed will appear in our next enlarged number. JOHN BULL OFFICE, London, Sept. 3, 1836. In consequence of the alteration in the Neicspaper Stamp duties, which takes effect on the 15th inst., the Proprietors of JOHN BULL are enabled to do that, which has been frequently suggested to them, but which, under then existing circumstances, they were unable to effect. From the first establishment of JOHN BULL to the present mo- ment, the gratifying and extensive patronage with which it has been favoured, has been unquestionably bestowed upon it for its undevialing devotion to the principles upon which it was originally started, and on account of the original articles which have appeared in its columns— a particular attention to which, has frequently excluded from its pages, from want of space, much mutter which, to general readers, more especially those in the country, m ust necessarily be highly interesting and important. The Proprietors are, therefore, extremely glad that circumstances now permit them, besides retaining all the original features and qua- lities of JOHN BULL, to render it a complete FAJIILY NEWSPAPER, which shall contain copious intelligence, Foreign, Domestic, Fashion- able, Provincial, and Metropolitan— the latest Judicial and Police Reports, when any case of importance shall have occurred— and, as usual, the most extensive information connected with the Church and Clerical matters. The marked favour with which this Paper has for many years been received by the ARMY aticl NAVY, renders it incumbent upon the Pro- prietors to devote an adequate portion of space to Military and Naval Affairs, and they hojie from various sources to be able in a much greater degree than heretofore to merit the encouragement ivhich has been afforded them by both services. In addition to these more important objects, JOHN Bull will contain Criticisms on Literature, the Arts, Music, and the Drama— Agricultural Reports, and Sporting News— together with a mass of general information, such as may render it acceptable to those who, maintaining its principles and professing its politics, may yet desire to find, mixed with its political and playf ul articles, a summary of NEWS, for which hitherto they may have been obliged to refer to other papers. In order to carry this extended plan of operations into execution, several new arrangements have been made, and new engagements entered into— and in Sunday, the 18th instant, JOHN BULL will be published, ENCREASED one- half in size, and REDUCED in price to Six- pence. The Monday edition will be published at the same price, and of the same size. J OH EST BULL. LONDON, SEPTEMBER 11. THEIR MAJESTIES continue at Windsor. His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX visited their MAJESTIES on Thursday. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of GLOUCESTER arrived in town on Friday from the Continent. To- morrow his MAJESTY comes to London. We feel great pleasure in recording another instance, among many others which are constantly occurring, ofhis MAJESTY'S condescending and benevolent disposition. On Thursday the KING, as he was about to take his accustomed airing in his pony phaeton, ordered to be driven to the Horse Barracks, and. on arriving there, desired to be immediately conducted to the ward in the Hospital where the old soldier of the 7th Hussars was lying who had received so severe a hurt by his horse falling at tile review last week. The KING conversed with the poor fellow for some time in the most condescending manner, and, on leaving, desired that he should have every possible nourishment that could be allowed by the medical attendant, and his MAJESTY was much gratified to find, on his unexpected visit, that the apartment and bedding were in all respects comfortable. The soldier, we are happy to learn, is likely to recover. THE state ofSpain presents nothing of importance in the way of change as far as its present temporary Government is concerned. The captive QUEEN of the free people is to all intents their tool and prisoner— and the Constitution of 1812 is in the ascendant. With respect to the English Legion, the long anticipated crisis has arrived— the unhappy creatures are actually starving— the contractors will furnish no more supplies, and the greatest exertions of poor Colonel EVANS can only secure breakfasts for his deluded followers. As for Spain, in its present position, having either the will or the power to grant any money for their relief, it is wholly out of the question— and nothing can save the Legion from misery and death, but the adoption of a systeiji of plunder, and its conse- quent results. . Duels and trials by Courts Martial are now become every- day events. Four privates of the 10th Regiment were sen- tenced to be shot. This sentence was commuted by Brevet Lieutenant- Colonel EVANS into transportation for life— a sentence by the infliction of which life could alone be secured to the mutineers. The Carlist forces are increasing on every hand, and in the absence of any possibility of a general engagement, make con- stant and most successful attacks upon the Anglo- Christinos force. In addition to all these discomfitures, the most active and distinguished Officers of the Legion continue to send in their resignations, and the men persist in demanding their discharge under the terms and conditions of their original enlistment. While all these horrors are being enacted in Spain, the offices of the Spanish agents and Ministers in Loudon are besieged by starving sailors, who have been deluded to enter the service of Queen MUNOS and Co., on board the different steamers, crying aloud for the fulfilment of the engagements under which they embarked. The answer to these victims was— " there are no funds,"— and thus, while the Legion are Eerishing from want and rot on one side the water, the un- appy creatures who have been instrumental to their convey- ance thither, are starving on this. The Spanish Charge d? Affaires here has sent in his resig- nation, and refuses to swear to the Constitution. General ALAVA, who has adopted a similar course in Paris, retires to Tours, where he has long resided at different times, and where he is, as indeed he is everywhere else, universally esteemed aud respected. A Ministry has been formed in Paris; but the military preparations for revolt which were made manifest last Sunday in that city, have excited a very strong sensation. The whole garrison of Vincennes was shut up in that fortress, ready for actiou, until Monday afternoon. A plot was openly spoken of, which had for its object the burning of the Palais Royal, and sundry other public buildings; after which the PEOPLE were to march to Neuilly. Numerous arrests have taken place, and the " family" appear to be in a state of high fermentation. I u Constantinople the Sultan is proceeding in his new pursuit of demanding the worship of his subjects to be paid to bis picture, which is exhibited to them " encompassed in an angel frame," which ceremony is peformed, the bands playing " God Save the King.'"' This, by way of confusion, seems to us to be " worse confounded" than anything we have yet met with. THE following important documents have been entrusted to us, and we, with great satisfaction, present them to our readers. We ought to observe, that a copy of the proposed speech of the Right Honourable JAMES ABERCRO. MBIE. the Speaker, has found its way into the columns of our excellent contemporary, the Brighton Gazette. That, suggested for his MAJESTY'S delivery, still remains unknown to the public— we therefore give them both as State- papers of considerable interest and value. The Speech which the SPEAKER had intended to deliver having been submitted ( very unconstitutionally) to the Ministers ( or correction, was by them greatly objected to. Lord MELBOURNE admitted that it was a true de- scription of Whig tactics, but would be i! a great dis- couragement to Tail support." Lord JOHN RUSSELL hinted the Privileges of the House, from such an interference with their unexecuted designs, and such an unparliamentary imputation of motives, and quoted the late Lord COLCHES- TER'S case, as brought forward by the preseut Lord CAR- LISLE, and argued upon somewhat flippantly perhaps, but very bitterly, by Lord PLUNKET. It was withdrawn, but as not one word of it was allowed to stand, the shortness of the time for preparing another must account for the milk and water of the one delivered. May it please your Majesty, We, your Majesty's faithful Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, attend your Majesty with our last Bill of Supply. Sire, the history of Parliament cannot furnish the precedent of a Session so labourious, so complicated, so overwhelmed with matters of the gravest public importance, and yet unfortunately so unpro- ductive of results, as that which we are about to close. Your Majesty was graciously pleased at the commencement of the Session to submit to our earliest and most careful consideration the state of Ireland, particularly with reference to an adjustment of Tithes, a question upon which the legal claims of one side, and the refusal of those claims on the other, kept that part of the United Kingdom in constant conflict. The settlement of this most important question appeared practicable with justice, and almost with satisfaction, to all parties ; but it is my duty to remind your Majesty, that by a reso- lution of the Commons House of Parliament of the last Session, no adjustment could be assented to by them, unless coupled with a new abstract provision, as foreign from the principle and enactments of a Tithe Bill as it was inapplicable to the time when it was voted— founded on the surplus of Ecclesiastical resources which did not exist, and the existence of which, ait any future period, was very problema- tical— in a word, Sire, a provision, the whole value of which consisted in declaring the intention of Parliament to divert Protestant Eccle- siastical funds from Protestant Ecclesiastical purposes, so soon as an opportunity for so doing should present itself. We attempted a Bill thus weighted, but the attempt was resisted and defeated, and thus our efforts to accomplish your Majesty's gracious intentions have entirely failed. Your Majesty was further pleased to press upon our earliest attention the consideration of the Municipal Corporations in Ireland— a matter of great importance to the tranquillity of Ireland, i Suspicion, jealousy, and complaint existed, from these Corporations being exclusively in the hands of the Protestants of that part of the United Kingdom. The reasonableness of the complaint was admitted on all sides, and the removal of the grievance assented to by all parties. But when your Majesty's faithful Commons were prepared to remove the grievance by the only mode which appeared to them just and reasonable— by transferring the monopoly of the corporate functions from the Protestants to the Roman Catholics, and continu- ing the exclusiveness of those Corporations, with ( lie single difference of the religious creed which should characterise them— we were again met with dissent and obstruction, such as to defeat our efforts, and leave this object also of your Majesty's paternal solicitude wholly unexecuted. Again, Sire, your Majesty was gracicfusly pleased, through the servants of the Crown, to submit to our consideration various propo- sitions affecting the discipline, arrangement of the revenues, aud the disposition of the patronage of the Protestant Church in England and Wales. In these endeavours we have been again foiled, and, not- withstanding the powerful sanction of these provisions by the Eccle- siastical Commission appointed by your Majesty, we experienced amongst the ranks of the supporters of your Majesty's Government such hostility to our Bills, because they had been prepared with the sanction of your Majesty's Commission, that your Majesty's Minis- ters found themselves reduced to the last alternative of withdrawing some of the Bills, or retiring from your Majesty's service. The choice between these difficulties, your Majesty will readily believe, was obvious and instantaneous— the withdrawal of the Bills. Sire, the length allowed me on an occasion such as the present, would not enable me to go in detail through the other mea- I snres ( all of them important), which we attempted eagerly, and which have failed signally. And now, Sire, I have only further to implore your Majesty to believe our most assiduous attention has been exerted in the service of our King and our country through the whole of this laborious Session. We have readily granted the supplies required by the Estimates for the service of the current year; and we hope, by perseverance, assiduity, and intensity of pa- triotic exertion, to be enabled to produce a better and more fruitful result of labour and deliberation at the close of an ensuing Session. Sire, the Bill I have, in the name of the Commons of the United Kingdom, to present to your Majesty, is entitled, < fcc. & c. tfec., to which, with all humility, we pray your Majesty's Royal assent. Having submitted this,, we proceed to lay before our readers the Speech which was written for the KING by the Premier, in a moment of indolence after dinner, and annoy- ance from some fresh importunities from the Tail— but which, from the veto of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, was never submitted to his MAJESTY. My Lords and Gentlemen, I am happy to be enabled at this advanced period of the season to release you from further attendance in Parliament; and thanking you for the assiduity and earnestness with which you have applied your- selves to your Parliamentary duties, I could have wished, on this day of the prorogation of Parliament, to have been enabled also to con- gratulate you and myself on the useful and important results of your labours. I could have wished to have seen much more effected for tranquillizing Ireland, both in its civil and Ecclesiastical affairs, than it has been in your power, I am bound to believe, to accomplish. In this part, too, of the United Kingdom, I could have wished to have seen a greater advance in improvements affecting our Church Establishments ; in arrangements affecting the wishes and feelings of the Dissenters from the Church Establishment; and in matters affecting the administration of justice in the Courts of Law, and more particularly in the High Court of Chancery. But at the same time it is impossible I should not feel, in common with my faithful sub- jects, that in concerns of such immense importance, crude and liasty and imperfect legislation must be more injurious ( and, indeed, de- structive of the only object I have at heart— just, wise, and enlightened attention in our present system), than any delay that can arise from a more prolonged and mature consideration of those great subjects. I have to acquaint you generally with the continued assurances of amicable feelings from Foreign Powers. To Spain, however, I look with great alarm, and without the pos- sibility of anticipating the result of the fearful disorder into which she is plunged. Portugal at present, remains quiet, although threat- ened with the infection of Spanish revolt. At this time, therefore, I should consider it unworthy the character and nobleness of Great Britain to complain of the injustice to this country other commercial regulations, and her perseverance in refusing to attend to the re- peated remonstrances of my Ambassador at the Court of Lisbon. it must be a great satisfaction to every truly British mind, that Great Britain and France continue in the closest ties of friendship and alliance— maintaining this intimate alliance without in any re- spect postponing the interests of one country to the wishes of the other. This just and striking independence of two great Powers could, perhaps, be more clearly elucidated, than in the different views taken and acted upon by the Government of this country and the Government of France in their construction of the Quadruple Treaty, and in the measures which their respective policy would suggest to be taken under it. It would be gratifying to me to observe that the same cordiality and the same confidence that Great Britain experiences from France, were extended to her by Austria and Prussia ; and still more would it be gratifying to me to be able to hope that the policy of Great Bri- tain was favoured and disinterestedly adopted by the Court of Russia in her intercourse with the Turkish Government. But on these points the explanations necessary, both of her conduct and that of Great Britain, are not in so advanced a state as to enable me to make them subject of communication from the Throne. I regret deeply the unsettled and unhappy state of both the Canadas. I am determined to exhibit to them the greatest patience and mode- : ration. I have full confidence in the tried ability, wisdom, andtirm- ness of my Representative in Lower Canada; and if, in both Upper and Lower Canada, all my just expectations should be frustrated, I must trust to the blessing of Providence to rescue this country, and the Canadas as part of this country, from the dangers that threaten them, and are at this moment so imminent. Gentlemen of the House of Commons, I thank yon for the supplies with which you have furnished me for the public service. You may relv upon my expending them with as much care and economy as they have been granted with liberality. The Estimates were laid before you, having undergone the closest and most searching examination, so low as to induce me to believe they would, from their moderation, be most acceptable to my faithful Commons. Unforeseen expenses, or at least expenses unprovided for, may compel me to exceed your grants— but in that case, I shall come before you in the next Session of Parliament with the most con- fident expectation that whatever new expenditure may have become necessary to procure an unflinching support of my Constitutional Government, will be cheerfully sanctioned by the representatives of my people. My Lords and Gentlemen, I cannot close my address to the two Houses of Parliament with- out expressing the firm conviction, as well as the anxious desire of my heart, that upon your return into the country you will use every effort in your power to maintain the tranquillity of the country, and to impress upon the minds of all my subjects, what is so deeply im- pressed upon my own inind, that to render the labours of a Session of Parliament useful, and productive of the greatest good to the country at large, the expectations and demands of the constituency upon their repesentatives, must be bounded by the limits of justice and moderation, no less than by a due regard to the fundamental institutions of the country in Church and State; to which I have- sworn, and by which, I am resolved to abide. THE pulse of the Irish public has been, as it appears to us, most injudiciously felt by Lord MULGRAVE, who lias been making a tour, iu which his Excellency has been liberating prisoners, and doing a thousand things of a very extraordi- nary nature, and in which his supporters and associates have been only those of the lowest orders, led on to the perform- ance by their Priests. Invariably the people of character aud respectability have kept away from his progress. High Sheriffs have refused to call meetings in his Excellency's ho- nour, and iu some towns his Excellency was taught to appre- ciate bis popularity, by finding the streets deserted aud the shops closed as for a general mourning. Crime is everywhere increasing— the Popish Association holds its weekly meetings under the eye of the Government, which lias suppressed Orange Lodges— Clergymen are ar- rested and imprisoned for venturing to preach Protestantism, and the myrmidons who are accessories to their punishment are retained in their offices. Colonel CUYLER'S appointment of some Englishmen to the new police is denounced by a Mr. KEATING as tyranny, because Irishmen ought to be appointed, and not foreigners— Mr. KEATING ( whoever he is) forgetting that a heavy charge was made against Lord LYNDHURST for calling Irishmen aliens, and also forgetting that Colonel ROWAN and Mr. MAYNE, the two Commissioners of Police in England, are— IRISHMEN. Lord MULGRAVE has ordered his Secretary to assure flie PEOPLE that he never meant Mr. DELANYto be arrested,, and that it shall never occur again— but what becomes of Mr. DUFF ? The law appointments are not settled, but the Evening Mail gives the following account of them :— LAW APPOINTMENTS.— it is said that the Attorney- General, Mr. September 11. j o h n b u l l. 692 O'LOGHLEN, having failed in liis attempt on the Rolis, and being perfectly satisfied that the present Administration cannot stand a week after the opening of the Session— it, indeed, they ever meet another Parliament— had previously to his departure for the Continent expressed his determination to accept the office of a puisne Judge, in the event of a vacancy occurring during his absence. If Mr. O ' LOGHLEN be elevated to the Exchequer Bench, he will be the first Attorney- General ( excepting Mr. 1' ERRIN) who has ever accepted anything under the situation of a " Chief;" and will afford another proof to the many already furnished, of the opinion entertained as to the perma- nence and stability of the Ministry by its best friends and warmest supporters. The names of Mr. RICHARDS, the Solictor- General— Mr. WOULFE, the Junior Serjeant, and Mr. NICHOLAS BALL, the King's Counsel, have been mentioned as likely to be appointed, but neither of the first have had practice, or possess standing sufficient even for the Whigs to promote them to such a situation ; and although, professionally speaking, there could be no objection to Mr. BALL— and he has the addition. il recommendation— no mean one, of being a a member of the favoured creed— yet we doubt very much whether lie be ultra enough in his politics to entitle him to thi ' fiat of Mr. O'Cox- NELL, who will, of course, have a veto in the appointment. The Mail is wrong in one point. Attorney- General GAR- HOW took a puisne Judgeship, and Sir WILLIAM HORSE is extremely sorry he did not follow his example. What we said last week we believe to be the true state of the case; but, as the Mail says, it of course depends upon Mr. O'CON- NELL, who is too jealous of Mr. SHIEL to permit anything to be done which can teud to his advancement, personal, pro- fessional, or Parliamentary. Sir WILLIAM BLAKENEY remains iu command in Ireland ; his appointment to Malta has been cancelled, and lie has been promoted to be a Lieutenant- General. careful guidance of a dignified Clergyman of the Church of England, is to supersede the Bible ? We will not believe that Dr. BUCKLAND ever said any thing like what is here so shamefully stated, and much less do we believe, even if it were possible for one of GOD'S minis- ters so to speak, that the " announcement of the Reverend Doctor would have been received with applause that lasted several minutes." We repeat our firm conviction that no such thing oc- curred— that it is as much a fiction as that in which we this day fortnight indulged in this paper upon the subject of the Association, marking, however, this important difference between the two imaginary reports— that ours was merely laughing at affectation, and ridiculing pretenders fit only to be laughed at; and that this involves a most extraordinary and serious charge against a Clergyman and a gentleman, than whom, we believe, from all we have ever heard, there does not exist one more amiable or excellent. We repeat, therefore, that we utterly disbelieve the report, and therefore it is that we have specially noticed it, in order that it may be distinctly and authoritatively contradicted, which we are sure it will be. 4 THE following appears in the Northampton Herald:— The fact of the Duke of BEDFORD having subscribed to the O'Cox- NELL fund was not made known to his MAJESTY until a fewdaysago, when, we are informed, and our information may be fully relied on, the KING appeared much surprised, and expressed liis indignation at the conduct of his Grace, by ordering the bust of llie Duke of BED- FORD, which stood in the Gallery at Windsor, to be immediately re- moved ; at the same time observing that, although every man* was perfectly right to stand by his party if he choose it. he would not allow the bust of any Nobleman to remain at the Castle who should subscribe to the O'CONNELL tribute. Of this fact we have been iti possession for some weeks, but we abstained from publishing it upon a feeling of respect- ful duty which rendered us unwilling to presume upon mak- ing any allusion to what passes within the walls of the KING'S palace. Asit is now printed, although apaperso highly respect- able as the Northampton Herald requires no corroboration of its intelligence from us or any of its eotemporaries, we have great pleasure in vouching for the truth of its statementin this par- ticular. BRITISH ASSOCIATION FOR TIIE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE. A week or two since, in giving an account of the proceedings of this extensive scientific body, we mentioned that in the Statistical Class Mr. HUME had liberally contributed to the Museum of the Association a valuable collection of New- road turnpike tickets. We find that Mr. FRIPP, a gentleman of Bristol ( we believe), has actually produced a very valuable catalogue of duplicates, collated from the books of an eminent pawnbroker at Glasgow. As this is authentic, and by no means intended for a joke, we give the paragraph as we find it in a provincial newspaper:— AT the British Association last week, Mr. FRIPP said that he had pro- cured from Dr. CLELANO, of Glasgow, a return from the largest pawn- broking establishment in G lasgow, by which it appeared that women more frequently had recourse to this mode of raising money than men. Mr. FRITP then read the following return of articles pledged at the largest pawnbroking establishment in Glasgow 539 men's coats, 355 vests, 288 pair of trousers, 84 pairs of stockings, 1,980 women's gowns, 540 petticoats, 132 wrappers, 123 duffles, 90 pelisses, 240 silk handkerchiefs, 294 shirts and shifts, 60 hats, 84 bed- ticks, 108 pillows, 262 pairs of blankets ; 300 pairs of sheets, 162 bed- covers, 36 table- cloths; 48 umbrellas, 1.02 Bibles, 204 watches, 216 rings, 48 Waterloo medals. The value and interest, not of the articles, for those are the pawnbroker's affair, but of this document, nobody can doubt, and it was received with great shouts of applause; but we must for a few minutes change the tone of our observations, in order before we proceed to animadvert upon the subject, which, if truly represented, requires a most serious considera- tion, to ascertain the truth of a statement which has been circulated. To laugh at the pretensions of the oi - roWoi who crowded the different lecture- rooms, or classes, as they are called at Bristol, is harmless mirth, and nothing more than anybody would do, who either saw the thing in progress, the people who composed the mass of sages, or read the proceedings as reported. Quackery, however, is so universal, and vanity so predominant, that it is quite fair that five thousand people should be indulged iu the enjoyment of both for a week or ten days, and no harm done after all. But what we have now to inquire about, is something of a far different character from mere Tom- foolery— we find printed and published in all the newspapers, that which follows:— At the meeting of the British Association on Fridav, the only fact elicited through the evening was the declaration of Dr. BUCKLAND, that millions of years must henceforward be assigned to the age of the world, and that the best Hebrew scholars had lately given A NEW INTERPRETATION to the two first verses of Genesis. This announce- ment of the Rev. Doctor was received with applause that lasted some minutes. It is hardly necessary to quote the two first verses of Ge- nesis here, upon which the first great principles of our belief and faith rest, but we shall do so in order first to obtain from the Reverend Doctor a confirmation or denial of the statement made in this paragraph, and afterwards, if it should be true that he made this observation, elicit the names of the " best Hebrew scholars" who propose to unsettle the faith of tile believer, and impugn the sacred word of GOD himself, to suit the fancies of the enlightened geologists of the present day, who are pleased to set their imaginary discoveries in com- petition with the truth of the Holy Scriptures. The two first verses of the Book of Genesis, and of the sacred volume, are these:— " In the beginning GOD created the Heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void: and darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of GOD moved upon the face of the waters." These, we say, are the first two verses of the Holy Scrip- tures. Iu order to reconcile a favourite theory of geology, the Reverend Dr. BUCKLAND tells the five thousand ladies and gen- tlemen of science assembled at Bristol, that the Holy Scrip- tures are erroneous, and that the world is millions of years older than the Bible says it is ; and, in order to reconcile the modern flippant absurdities of a new- fangled system with ( his alleged error in the inspired volume, the five thousand ladies and gentlemen of science are also informed that the best He- brew scholars " have lately given a new interpretation to the first two verses of Genesis." Lately ! Does this mean since the establishment of a geological society, which, under the IT was only yesterday that we met with the following arti- cle in the Berkshire Chronicle. As it is a fresh instance of Conservative tyranny, hard- heartedness, and selfishness, we think impartiality demands its insertion :— We gave in last Saturday's paper, the satisfactory information that a site of land in the London road had been offered to the Committee of the Hospital by Lord and Lady SIDMOUTH. We did not under- stand at that time that the offer was intended to be perfectly gratui- tous, but we felt assured that no unreasonable price would have been set by The noble proprietors on land required for such a purpose, it it is with additional gratification we now inform our readers, that a letter has been received from Lord SIDMOUTH, conveying his own and Lady SIDMOUTH'S intention of PRESENTING to the Royal Berkshire Hospital a sufficient quantity of their land, without any other con- dition than the appropriation of the ground to the purposes of the Institution. Much as we have heard of English munificence, we think the splendid instances which the foundation of our County Hospilal has called forth equal, if they do not exceed, any which shine in the annals of provincial charity. The princely donation of Mr. DE BEAUVOIR, and this most opportune gift of Lord and Lady SIDMOUTH may challenge a comparison wilh the Earl of EGREMONT S far- famed liberality in Sussex, or with any other of those noble benefactions which distinguish this country. Our more distant Teadei s may be able to form some estimate of the money value of the land alluded to, when we inform them that ad- joining sites for building— in no respect superior to it— have been boughtfreely at the rate of 4001. per acre. It is land too, which, from its contiguity to the town, is of annually increasing value, being in the most desirable part of Heading. But these calculations fade into insignificance when the purposes for which it is wanted are consi- dered. If four times the money value had been given for sncli a site, the amount would have been wisely expended. The difference between a good and an inferior situation for the erection of an Hospital is in- calculable— it cannot be estimated by arithmetical calculation. The most laboured eulogium on tlie Christian benevolence of Lord and Lady SIDMOUTH would be superfluous and absurd; the deed speaks for itself, and the gratitude of the present generation will be perpetuated and increased by posterity. So long as the poor shall remain in the land, so long as sickness and suffering shall be the lot of humanity, the founders and benefactors of suchan institution will not have been liberal in vain. The consciousness of having effected such great and permanent good must be a higher reward than any praise from men, and" the blessings of them that are ready to perish" far better than the loudest expression of popular applause. It is but a few weeks since this " Conservative Lord" voluntarily resigned the pension awarded him for a long series of services to his country. Surely such conduct as this, and as that of the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND, who, amongst innumerable munificent acts of liberality and charity, has built fourteen Churches and Chapels at his own cost-— that of the Duke of NEWCASTLE, whose acts of a similar nature we have already recorded— and that of the Duke of BUCCLEUGH, who has just now crowned a career of princely benevolence by announcing his intention to build the new Church at Dal- keith solely at his own expense, must convince the country, that however noble it may be to subscribe one hundred pounds to the begging- box of Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL, the - - .. _ Popish agitator, as his Grace JOHN Duke of BEDFORD has worth repeating, becausenothing can be clearer than the proof they . 1 ... . . . ..... . riH.* r nt t IM \ V : m M c. onnncr nr mt. n m ntfini> hpilip talso n. Tlr hvnncri- pretty well known; and what Mr. BUCKINGHAM said the other day to his constituents at Sheffield about himself and his Mi. JESTY'S Ministers is strongly indicative of his opinion astotheir feelings with regard to the existing Government. The expo- sure Mr. BUCKINGHAM made of Whig tactics ought not to be lost. Speaking of himself, and his grievances, and his case, Mr. BUCKINGHAM repeated to liis " auditors all the fine things that had been said of him, and written to him, with reference to the dreadful oppressions which he had undergone in India, by Sir CAM HOBHOUSE, Lord DESMAN, Lord DUR- HAM, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and indeed all the present Minis- ters while iu Opposition, and who, now that they hold office, have thrown him over, voted against his claims, and put an immovable extinguisher upon all his pretensions. Having shown up the amiable, patriotic, consistent, and highly- principled cliquc in detail, he winds up thus:— " Though last, not least, Lord John Russell declared ' that having heard all the evidence on the subject as Chairman of the Committee, lie was prepared to say that not only was there no blame to be attributed to Mr. Buckingham, but that his conduct was highly honourable and praiseworthy in the extreme, being perfectly con- formable to those examples of freedom which we are accustomed to admire and to hold up lor imitation by others of our own country- men, and as such, entitled Mr. Buckingham to the thanks of his fellow- citizens, and the approbation of a wise and benevolent Govern- ment.' ( Hear, hear.) " All this was said before the Select Committee of 1834 had unani- mously awarded me compensation; so that no subsequent facts had transpired to weaken, though many had occurred to strengthen, my claims. And yet these same Whig patriots, who were thus vociferous in their denunciations of Indian tyranny when they were in Opposition — and thus lavish in their praises of me, when their opponents were in. power— had no sooner had presented to them the fairest opportunity that could be desired to put their sincerity and their honour to the test, bv passing, as a Government measure, the Bill which TO to grant the compensation which their own Committee had unanimously awarded — than they instantly turned round, as recreant deserters from their own professions and* their own cause; and while l^ ord John Russell either left the House or staid away during the discussion, andnever once opened his lips or gave his vote in favour of the claim which he had himself so strongly advocated and defended. Sir John Hobhouse was found ready to undertake the task of defending the Hast India Company whom he had so often before denounced. ( Hear, hear.) It was thus that these Whig Ministers— the one passively, and the other actively— combined their powers and their influence to seal, as far as they could do, the ruin of one whom Lord John Russell had declared to be worthy of all honour, and fit to be held up for imitation by his countrymen; and, above all, to be justly entitled to the thanks of his fellow- citizens, and the approbation of a wise and benevolent Govern- ment. These were his solemn and reiterated professions ; and yoir have seen how he has redeemed them. The distance between day and night— between truth and falsehood— between the highest degree of honour and the lowest degree of baseness— between fidelity and treachery— between courage and cowardice— between virtue and vice — is not, and cannot be. greater than between the words and actions of the personages who filled the chief characters in this melancholy and degrading drama. ( Hear, hear.) " But what will you say to the purity of Whig morality, and the standard of Whig justice, when 1 tell you that Sir John Hobhouse himself admitted to me, though my blood almost froze as I heard the expression fall from his lips, that my great error was in not having brought my claim forward when Sir Robert Peel was in power, for if 1 had done so, then all the IVhigs, himself among the number, would have voted for me. ( Hear, hear.) Here is a solution of the mystery called ' the bond of party union,' of which you have heard so much of late— a bond like that which constitutes the honour that we hear of as existing even among thieves, that is, a determination to plunder the world at large for their mutual benefit, but never to betray each, other. And you see that the beginning and the end of their con- duct. is alike— they are consistent at least in their perfidy. When in Opposition, in 1824 and 1826, these Whigs declared that never was a man so cruelly treated by despots and tyrants, as was Mr. Buckingham; when in power, in 1835 and 1836, tliey could see no cruelty in the case, but declared that these despots and tyrants had done nothing more than they were perfectly justified in doing; and that the whole case, to use the words of Sir John Hob- house, was 4 a most paltry and trumpery affair;' and yet, by his own confession, when Sir Robert Peel was in power, and the IVhigs again in Opposition, they would have made this ' paltry and trumpery affair* the ground of a similar denounciation of Tory injustice and Tory- wrong, as they had done before, when it answered their party purposes so to do.—( Hear, hear.) " Your memories, perhaps, are not so tenacious as mine ; and, therefore you may not remember the remarkable expressions of Sir John Hobhouse in the debate on the Irish Church ; but they are done, or to subscribe nothing to the rebuilding of the Church of one of his own parishes, as Lord LANSDOWNE has done, the substantial good effected by the noblemen whose names we have just mentioned may serve at least as a set- off against the piety of the Lord President of the Council, and the patriotism of the father of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. THERE can be no question now, that a most extraordinary re- action has taken place in the political feelings of the People of England. The total abandonment of the principles they professed on the part of the Ministerial supporters of Reform, the hollowness of their professions, and the melancholy inca- pacity of their Government, kept in office by nothing but the success of their former deceptive protestations, have open- ed the eyes of the PEOPLE, and the results are too striking to be either doubted or concealed. In all parts of the kingdom we find the Conservatives, as well Noblemen, Gentlemen, and Clergy, as farmers, yeomen, and operatives, rallying round all that the Ministerial Destruc- tives have left of the Constitution, and uniting ill friendship and harmony to support so much of our national institutions as is yet untouched. At Brighton, and at Lewes, large meetings of Conservative Associations have been held— at Leicester, and at Liverpool, where at the Tradesman's Conservative Society seventy- two additional members were elected, completing its numbers to nine hundred. At Lynn Regis the " Loyal and Constitutional" Association is rapidly increasing, while Norwich, Manchester, and Birmingham, are manifesting similar feelings amongst the middling and lower classes, and a reference to the details of the great South Lancashire Anniversary, will prove the state of politics in that part of the country. The new mode of registering voters under the Reform Act, affords a pretty fair estimate of what may be expected upon a dissolution of Parliament. In the county of Cork the Conservatives have a bond fide majority of 200 upon the registry; and here, in Westminster, little doubt can be en- tertained that two Conservative Members will be returned at the next election. That Lord JOHN RUSSELL is of opinion that both seats are lost to him in case of a move, may be pretty clearly perceived, if there be any truth in the report that his Lordship has refused to grant the Chiltern Hundreds to Sir FRANCIS BURDF. TT, who is stated to have applied for the Stewardship, in order to " shuffle off the mortal coil" of attendance in the House of Commons. At Bath, it is understood that the electors are making sturdy preparation for hunting their ROEBUCK, and have expressed their wish through a deputation to Mr. BRUGES, of Seining- ton, that he would permit himself to be put in nomination for that city. Mr. HORSLEY PALMER, it is hoped, will consent to stand for Finsbury; and the return of Sir GEORGE MUR- RAY for Westminster cannot be doubted. Mr. HUME'S opinion of his own success in this county is offer of the whole conduct of men in office being false and hypocri- tical, and oftheir knowing this to be tlie case themselves ; for, if lan- guage has any meaning, and if words are at. any time to be believed, Sir John Hothouse's expressions convey this. In the debate on the appropriation of the surplus revenues of the Irish Church, on the 31st of March iu the last year, Sir Edward Knatchbull, then seated on the Treasury benches, said that ' the Whig Opposition were de- sirous of removing Sir Robert Peel's Government that they might themselvss return to office.' Sir John llobhouse, in his reply, used these remarkable words, which 1 remember to have heard with some astonishment at the time, but which Sir John has given me abund- ant opportunity by his conduct since to understand much better than 1 did then. The. Right Honourable Baronet, ' For they are all— all honourable men,' said, ' Setting aside the trivial circumstance of our not sitting on that ( the Ministerial) side of the House, I really do not see what we- have to quarrel with in our present situation. The air is purer here ( on the Opposition benches), decidedly purer. I was accustomed to inhale it for the first 14 years of my « poKtical life, and I say, most sincerely, that 1 prefer it most decidedly. I am not foiul of dancing in chains: and 1 therefore say, very unaffectedly, that 1 prefer this side of the House.' " Here is conscious purity, conscious patriotism, . and conscious virtue! He knew the air of the Treasury benches was impure in March, 1835: he knew that any man sitting on them, must dance in chains, that is, prostrate his intellect and independence, to be bound in the fetters of ' party union.' All this he knew iu March, 1835 : and yet he, so contented, so satisfied with the pure air and independ- ence of the Opposition benches, and so full of horror at the pestilent atmosphere and galling chains of the other side, in one little month, in April, 1835, ere the echo of his words had died upon the ear, goes over to take his seat upon those impure benches, and to put oil the fetters for his future dance with his own slave- jireparing hands- ( Hear, hear.) Do you wonder at all this ? Ay, wellindeedyou may ? " It is by exposures like these, by incontrovertible denuncia- tions of the total absence of all principle in Whig- Radical po- liticians, that converts to true English Conservatism are so rapidly being made. We do not suppose that Mr. BUCKING- HAM'S exhibition of the Whig- Radical Ministers to his Ra dical supporters, was made with any intention of strengthen- ing the Conservative cause, but certain it is, it must have, and has had that effect. The recent display of popular feeling in the liberalised ra- dicalised town of Warwick, is the last proof of many which the people have, during the last year, given of the change of opinion, which the words and acts of their pauper Cabinet have worked, and there is no doubt upon our minds, that whenever it shall please the KING to take the sense of his PEOPLE upon the character and conduct of his MAJESTY'S present servants, He will see the whole country ready to rally- round the Altar and the Throne, to secure the country from danger and disgrace, and emancipate her SOVEREIGN from the fangs of a faction, which will never leave hold of the power it unfortunately possesses, unless forcibly ejected by the Royal command. FAR be it from us to revive Ihepublic recollection of what, of course, is publicly forgotten, and which we have always wished, as we have always said, had never occurred; but the momentary public sensation— whatever it was— having sub 294 sided, this is tlie time to give souie sincere advice, which, if attended to, may be beneficial to the individual, and to the country of which he has the care. lu a recent trial— as in a former one— Lord MELBOURNE was declared innocent bv a most intelligent Jury, formed of twelve most experienced men of the world : a verdict coin- cided in, both in and out of Court, by all men of equally ac- curate discrimination, and equally worldly knowledge. But, 5n this trial it came out— ana this evidence was neither even attempted to begainsayed nor impugned— that his Lordship, lately Home Secretary, and since Prime Minister, had been in the habit, for the last four or live years, and while filling those offices, of spending three or four hours, during the time of business, five or six days in each week, in the society of a lady— wife of another gentleman— in the absence of the hus- band, and in the discharge of his public duty. Attorney- General CAMPBELL, a Scotchman and a lawyer, jnost scrupulous and conscientious, both as to his measures anil his means, declared most solemnly— and it was not the only remarkable very solemn declaration that he did make— that this pleasant pastime of his Noble Client was, not for the love of " ladye- love," but for the love of ladye- literature. Oh dear ! all the dears, all the Belles will be turning Blues ; for the Attorney- General did not mean that it was a modern practical paraphrase by Lord MELBOURNE of the old fabulous story of JUPITER and HELLE ; but that it really was for the charms of purely literary conversation. The Learned Gentle- man added gardening as another motive : not like ADAM and EVE in Eden, but merely as VIRGIL sung and DRYDEN trans- lated— " To set soft hyacinths of iron blue, To shade marsh marigolds of shining hue." Bless the literature, and the flowers—" those little flowers"— how potent the poems and the posies proved ! But, whether the Belles Lettres or the Blue Bell— we are very careful how we spell the sirname, the latter name of this flower,— or whether anything else, in science or in natural history, were the attractive cause, what we were going to say is, that so large a portion of public time— of the hours of business— being devoted by his Lordship to pure literature with a lady, and the due discharge of Lord MELBOURNE'S official duties, are scarcely compatible: to say nothing of the calls upon him, upon his private affairs, at his private residence in South- street, and at other houses. We believe this immaculate addiction to the love of the ladies for the sake of their literary lore, has generally been at- tended with injurious effects, both publicly and privately, when indulgedin to excess, by very great men, having the direction of national affairs. We are not sure, however, that former days afford any completely parallel instances to the exact kind of literary and horticultural Platonic love, so poetically and successfully imagined by Attorney- General CAMPBELL. But we give below the nearest precedents we can find, and it will be seen that the results have been unfortunate at all periods, and in all climes. We do not give the worst patterns, be- cause they would be least in point with Lord MELBOURNE'S pure and pardonable, or, at any rate, unpunishable partialities:— In Greece— " In scornful sloth ACHILLES slept, And for his wencli, like TALLBOY, wept; Nor would return to war and slaughter, Till they brought back the parson's daughter." In Rome:— " ANTONIUS, fled from Actium's coast, AUGUSTUS pressing, Asia lost: His sails by Curio's hand unfurl'd. To keep the fair he gave the world." In England:— " EDWARD, our FOURTH, revered and crown'd, Vigorous in youth, in arms renown'd, While England's voice and NEVILB'S care Design'd him Gallia's beauteous heir, Changed peace and power for rage and wars, Only to dry one widow's tears." In France:—- " France's fourth HENRY we may see A servant to the fair D'ESTKEK ; When quitting Coutra's prosperous field, And fortune taught at length to yield, He from his guards and midnight tent, Disguis'd, o'er hills and valleys went, To wanton with th& sprightly dame, And in his - pleasure lost his fame." History affords more examples ia abundance. The author of Alma, which work we quote, gives enough. He shows that the Greek, the Roman, the Englishman, and the French- man, were unfitted for business, by a too- ardent devotion to pleasure. As we have said, the world had not then got to the reform and refinement of a literary and floral liason : but it is the long and constant abstraction of the time and atten- tion of public men from public business, causing the public interests to be neglected and injured, that is the mischief in an official view; and, in this respect, the modern mode— though, no doubt, perfectly stainless and spotless— is not a bit less objectionable than its older and worse first- cousin. There can be no doubt— no, not the least— not the slight- est— none whatever— that since a late legal investigation, Lord MELBOURNE has seen the propriety of making a more economical disposition of his time, as regards his pleasures, and a more liberal one, as regards the public. Hence the necessity for our recommendation is much diminished ; still, perhaps, some may remain, and probably it may be a little increased by the facts that Lord PALMERSTON does so little; that Lord JOHN RUSSELL does worse than nothing— what a successor to Lord MELBOURNE in the Home Office! " LITTLE JOHN after tall ROBIN HOOD !"— and that Lord GLENELG does nothing at all; and that Mr. SPRING RICE is almost mo- nopolized by the careful charge of his " superficial inches." It is, however, gratifying to find in the more recent conduct of the agreeable WILLIAM LAMB, Viscount MELBOURNE, a change sufficient to entitle his Lordship to be distinguished above all others as the REFORMED BILL. THE spread of liberalism is becoming very extensive, as the subjoined extract from the British Magazine will tend to show:— RELIGIOUS AMALGAMATION. The following document certainly deserves public notice. The Irish education scheme must hide its diminished head before the su- perior liberality of the Ecclesiastics of all Churches at Calcutta, un- der direction of the Supreme Government :— At a meeting of the Governors of the Martiniere Charity, held at Government House ( Calcutta), on Saturday, the 15th o'f August, 1835, the following propositions, after being fully discussed by the • Governors, were unanimously agreed to:— " I. That the public religious instruction given to the children of the school be in conformity with the principles held in common by the English, Scotch, Roman, Greek, and Armenian Churches ; but that the schbol be not placed under any particular denomination of Christians, and that no points which are in controversy between the said Churches be touched upon in the course of public instruction. II. That the Lord Bishop of CALCUTTA, tlie Most Rev. Dr. ST. JOHN BULL. LEGER. and the Rev. JAMES CHARLES, be requested to frame a plan of religious instruction, and a form of prayer for family devotional exercises, in conformity with these principles. " HI. That the Head- master, besides his literary qualifications, shall give satisfactory testimonials of high moral and religious cha- racter, and of his cordial acquiescence in the above resolutions, and his willingness to conduct the school accordingly. " IV. That a Sub- Committee, consisting of the Hon. Sir E. RYAN, JAMES PRINSEF, Esq.. and the Rev. Mr. CHARLES, be appointed to report to the Governors upon the rules submitted at a former meet- ing ; and that any of the Governors taking a particular interest in the school may give the above Committee the benefit of their expe- rience on any points embraced by the said rules. " A. GARDEN, Secretary to La Martiniere." THE NEW MARRIAGE ACT. WE have already expressed our opinion on the Marriage and Registration Bills, while they were in progress. We propose now to review the state of the law for the solemniza- tion of marriage in the Church, as it will be affected by these Acts. In order to do this, we must first refer to the existing law:—- The Act under which marriages are at present solemnized is the 4th Geo. IV., ch. 76- This Act repfals the preceding Acts of 26lh Geo. II., ch. 33, and 4th Geo. IV., ch. 17. It enacts that banns shall be published, and all other rules pre- scribed in the Rubric of the Book of Common Prayer, and not altered by that Act, shall be duly observed. The Rubric en- joins that the banns of all that are to be married together must be published in the Church three several Sundays or holidays, in the time of divine service immediately before the sentences for the offertory, the Curate saying, after the accus- tomed manner, " I publish, & c.;" and if the persons that are to be married dwell in divers parishes, the banns must be asked in both parishes; and the Curate of the one parish shall not solemnize matrimony betwixt them without a certificate . of the banns being thrice asked from the Curate of the other parish. The particulars in which the rules contained in the Rubric are altered by the 4th Geo. IV. ch. 76, are as follow:— First, it admits of the publication of banns" in Chapels as well as in the parish Church ( sec. 2), wherever such chapels have been duly licensed by the Bishop of the Diocese ( sec. 3) for the publication of banns and solemnization of matrimony. It recognises the right of the Bishop to grant licenses, and that of the Archbishop to grant special license to dispense with the publication of banns; it provides that, where there shall be no morning service, banns of matrimony shall be published immediately after the second lesson at evening service; and whereas the Rubric allows the publication of banns on Sun- days and holidays, the Act enjoins that they shall be published on Sundays only. Having thus given a legal sanction to the prescribed order of the Church ; and having provided what was to be done in the case of that anomaly in public worship, where there is no morning service, the Act proceeds to enforce the observance of the law by a heavy penalty. Sec. 23. " Be it farther en- acted, that if any person shall, from and after the first day of November, solemnize matrimony in any other place than a Church, or such public Chapel wherein banns may be law- fully published, or at any othertime than between the hours of eight and twelve in the forenoon, unless by special license from the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, or shall solemnize matri- mony without due publication of banns, unless license ofmar- riage be first had and obtained from some person or persons having authority to grant the same ; or if any person falsely pretending to be in holy orders shall solemnize matrimony according to the rites of the Church of England ; every per- son knowingly and wilfully so offending, and being lawfully convicted thereof, shall be deemed and adjudged to be guilty of felony, and shall be transported for the space of fourteen years, according to the laws in force for the transportation of felons." In the 28tli and 29th sections of the same Act, provision is made for the due registration of marriages. So stands the old law. Now let us see what effect the new law will have upon it ( so soon as it comes into operation), with respect, at least, to marriages solemnized in the Church. Had the old law ( 4tli Geo. IV., ch. 76,) been repealed absolutely and alto- gether, there could have been no question; for the new Act ( 6th and 7th Will. IV., ch. 85), is very clear and ex- press, and re- enacts ( mutatis mutandis) all that was enacted in the former Act— but such is not the case. By the 44th section of 6th and 7th Will. IV., ch. 85, the New Marriage Act is made one with the Registration Act, aud in the first section of the Registration Act, the 4tli Geo. IV., ch. 76, entitled " An Act for amending the laws respect- ing the solemnization of Marriages in England," ( i. e. the Act now in force) is repealed so far as relates to the REGISTRA- TION of Marriages. Now there are but two sections, viz., 28 and 29 in that Act which have any reference to the registration of marriages, consequently ( as it appears to us) the rest of that Act, not being repealed, must still continue to be the law of the land— and if so, it will still be felony in any Clergyman to marry without the publication of banns or license from the Bishop. WTe are perfectly aware that the new Mar- riage Aetcontained this proviso in the first section—" Provided always that where by any law or Canon iu force before the passing of this Act, it is provided that any marriage may be solemnized after publication of banns, such marriage may be solemnized in like manner on production of the Registrar's certificate as hereinafter provided." But, query, will the Clergy act upon this permission, if that clause in the old law still remains in force, which makes it felony if they do ? Perhaps it was an oversight of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. If it were so, it is a very happy one, for it leaves Churchmen just in that situation in which Churchmen would wish to be placed. It leaves the Chuich service unaltered, and unal- terable, at the caprice of the officiating minister. Query— Why do Clergymen deviate from the Rubric, and publish banns of marriage after the second lesson in the morning service? IF John Bull were not more invulnerable than Achilles, who had a hole in the heel, " the best possible public instruc- tors" would certainly be the death of him. We propose doing our best to prevent his dying of his doctors. First, let us look at the Ministerial Morning Chronicle, and its pre- scriptions. On Monday last, in spite of all ANDREW JACKSON'S Mes- sages— in spite of all the Messages of his predecessor, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS— in spite of all we have for months past been writing, and in no one instance been contradicted on the sub- ject— in spite of all its own repeated patriotic self- gratulations, that everything in the United States was cheap, cheering, atul cherishing, because there was no national debt— in spite, in short, of all authority, truth, history, personal experience, and _____ September 11. common sense, the Morning Chronicle, did on Monday last put forth, Whiggishly, aud, of course, officially, the following statement:— " IN FACT, a LOAN, to the extent of many millions of money, has been made to the UNITED and SEPARATE States of North America.'''' Now this is not the " fact," and it is owing solely to the invulnerable " fact," that the " many millions of money" have been borrowed, or " raised" under the FALSE PRE- TENCE of United States' security, instead of separate State security, that we quarrel with those who have negociated these loans. The United States do not owe us or any other nation one single farthing, but the separate States— those " soft- soap" sovereignties— THEY, each and all of them, have contracted debts enormous, which are not, and never will be, because they never can be— REDEEMED. By referring to our files, it will be seen that on the 8th of May last we, in a manner which we intended should be per- fectly clear, explained the awful distinction, and the awful con- sequences of lending money to a nation, or mercantile firm, and of lending money to the component parts, or private members of that firm. But now, for the enlightenment of the Morning Chronicle, and more especially for the benefit of Lord PALMERSTON, we repeat a prophesy contained in that day's publication, and which prophesy we nail to the mast in this day's publication:—" The juggle of borrowing money by the States respectively, instead of by the United States conjointly, will cause one of three things eventually to happen: the Federation of States must take upon themselves conjointly the pay- ment of all the debts due from all the States respectively, and continue the USURPED power of levying duties on ALL importations ; or, all the States must respectively resume their original power to levy duties on their RESPECTIVE importations; OR, THE CREDITORS MUST LOSE THE MONEY ADVANCED." Since the 8th of May last, when those words were penned, what is our experience?— Why, that the United States have not only not re- stored to the separate States their original right to tax their importa- tions, as the only means of redeeming their separate State debts, but that they ( the United States) have passed a law to continue the usurped power oflevying duties on all importations, in order that the same duties may be loaned by the United States to the separate States, as a means of bolstering up their separate State credit, and thereby " raise more money in Europe on separate State security ; and ALSO as a means whereby the United States themselves may obtain " certificates of deposit" of the national revenue among those separate States, and then send those " certificates of deposit" among the " landowners," and " raise more money in Europe on United States' security!" Thus the revenue derived from the levying of duties on foreign commodities— of which about one- third are British — is made instrumental, and the sole— or, as the Unitarians say, the one- ness— basis of three purposes. First— To lend money to individual importers, as a means of de- coying " fresh importations." Second— To lend money to the separate States as a means to decoy or raise more money in Europe. And, third— To euable the United States, " in case of need, " for buying Mexico, & c., to issue the double " security" of individuals and of separate States, as a means of contracting a national DEBT ! So much for the Morning Chronicle. Now for the Times. To suppose that the mercantile interests of this country are to find in the forthcoming storm shelter among the Scotch Banks, or among the joint- stock Banks nearer home, or even in the Bank of Ireland, in opposition to the Bank of England, is to suppose that, which is impossible. Let the writer in the Times go into any one of the alleys run- ning out of, or parallel with, Cheapside, and he will be informed that the Scotch Banks, as they respect England, are tarred with pre- cisely the same brush as those of the United States. For example— a lace house, or a silk house, or any other house sending travellers from London into Scotland, what do these travellers do ? They sell their goods to Scotch shopkeepers from Edinburgh to Aberdeen, and draw bills at three months' date on those shopkeepers for the amount of in\ pice. These bills are all discounted by the Scotch Banks on the joint security of the Scotch shopkeepers and of the London houses; and besides charging so much per cent, discount, those Scotch Banks charge " commission," '* postages," & c. & c. Well, but what do the Scotch Banks do with those bills ? Why, discount them at the Bank of England, or in Lombard- street, to be sure. But suppose one of the shopkeepers from Edinburgh to Aberdeen should happen to break— what then? Why then the Scotch shopkeeper, having a " cash credit" with his Scotch Banker, gives him a hint, and presto a Scotch sequestration takes place, and then the London bill- holders are, in the language of the Morning Herald, " diddled"— that'sall. Speaking of the Morning Herald, we wish to call attention to the following passage which appears in its City article of Thursday:— " General JACKSON raised by his mint operations a premium upon gold to the United States, AND by altering the standard to the gold eagle! so THAT it could RETUFTN to the European market with a PROFIT of SEVEN PER CENT. !" Now, we would not for the world " trouble" this writer to answer a question, but we beg his readers will have the kindness to answer one:— Does an unadulterated English sovereign, after having been corrupted into Yankee clipped coin, " return" to Europe according to the European " standard" price of gold, or according to the American base metal standard ? An answer to this question would much oblige. It seems to us, however, that all our contemporaries are on the wrong, the " red- herring" scent. The more they write about ex- ports and imports, balance of trade, " pars of exchange," " efflux," and " re- flux" of gold; about the monetary medium, deposits and circulation, about limited liability, paid up capital, perfect publicity, and other matters of a similar nature, the more they will bewilder themselves and their readers. All the commercial dictionaries, all the statistical accounts, all the doctrines of the " economists," all the Custom- house returns in the whole world, will but bewilder their readers and themselves, unless they hit the nail on the head— the American tariff. The present state of things has no precedent— it has no parallel, as far as England, and the Bank of England, are concerned. Ever since the days of Mr. HUSKISSON, every thing in the commercial world has been inflated by cross transactions, and the result is that not only England, but the Bank of England, has too many figures on both the debit and credit sides of their respective ledgers. W e have kept the cash accounts of every nation on earth— we have suffered every nation to draw bills on us— we have accepted those bills we have lent every nation money wherewith to honour their own drafts— we have renewed our acceptances to those drafts of every nation, and now we have to take up every nations' drafts, and also^ o pay for our importations, which were the basis of every nations' drafts upon tis. We ask the country whether there is any precedent— any parallel for all that ? because, unless there be, all the fine books on political economy had better be burnt; and if there do exist any precedent September 11. j o h n b u l l. 295 or parallel for all that, let us see it— we challenge all the professors of ttie system to do so. And how came England, and the Bank of England, into this mess ? Why, by means ot the American tariff. The American tariff duties, as we have shown, are loaned by- the United States Government to its " citizensand these loans are naturally employed by those " citizens" to decoy " fresh importa- tions," as the basis of more loans, which, in their turn, are the basis of unlimited credit of the American citizens throughout the world, and which unlimited credit, in its turn, becomes the basis of money mongering, whereby, in the words of the New York Courier and Enquirer, quoted in Ihis journal of the 7th of August last, " the people care not at what price the money is brought, so long as the money is brought"— and why? Because every sovereign thus " brought" becomRS, according " to the par of Exchange," an additional basis for decoying " fresh importations," and also an ad- ditional basis for " fresh" loans, ad infinitum. Those few words from the New York Courier and Enquirer illustrate the whole subject— its morality included. And unless our coun- trymen will, as they are wont to do in all emergencies, look at these matters, not as they ought to be, but as they really ARE, neither the Bank of England, nor any other existing institution, can save this nation from irretrievable perdition. Here is a nation, called the United States, annually importing, according to its own official statement in 1834, foreign commodi- ties amounting to about 120 million of dollars, or about 30 millions of pounds sterling. On these foreign commodities this nation imposes taxes amounting to about 40 millions of dollars, or about 10 millions of pounds sterling, and the Government of this nation lends the • whole of these 10 millions of dollars to the importers of those 30 millions' worth of commodities. Thatisto say— the 30 millions'worth of commodities are, sometimes before they are unladen, but always sold AT AUCTION, at any price they will fetch, for the sake of realizing the 10 millions'worth of duties, which become so much capital in the hands of the importers to decoy " fresh importations!" In plainer English, so that all Bond- street, and all Barbican tbo, may under- stand it— every parcel of goods imported into the United States, sold for 13s. 4d., leaves 6s. 8d. on credit in the hands of the importer to play with, even if he pay for the parcel of goods I Now, looking at the character of those importers— who they are, and where they came from— it must be a stretch of Christian charity indeed in any one's supposing they would not employ the whole of these 6s. Sd.' s to the most profitable advantage— for themselves. Here, then, we ask— we demand triumphantly from the political economists, whether any nation on earth can trade with the United States upon terms of " reciprocity ?" Well, then, the American tariff is the basis on which this stupen- dous superstructure of management has been " raised," and when the newspapers talk of the United States reducing those tariff duties, they betray a want of knowledge which surprises us. The United States as a nation will never reduce its tariff duties, be- cause the United States as a nation knows it could not commercially exist " without them, and because it also knows the fact, that while its tariff duties are thus imposed and loaned to its " citizens," all other nations trading with the United States will be impoverished; and that in the exact ratio as all other nations are impoverished by the United States, those impoverished nations will impoverish Eng- land, and thereby enrich the nation called the United States. Now, all this we say is unprecedented and unparalleled, and he who should think of bringing it lo the test of the rules of political eco- nomy may be a very amiable sophist, but were he a trader, and standing in the Insolvent Court, his creditors would call him an egregious ass. Want of space prevents our continuing this subject farther to- day ; we shall resume it in our next number. ( To be continued.) ^ LITERATURE SHERIDAN, in the Critic, tells us that actors, when they get hold of a good thing, never know when to have done with it. Authors seem to us, something like actors in this respect. One naval novel suc- ceeded surprisingly— so did a second— and now we have never less than two or three naval novels published per annum. There is, however, one peculiarity about this genus of novels which eminently distinguishes it from others— we mean the air of novelty and freshness, which each succeeding tale of the sea wears. Captain MARRYAT'S Midshipman Easy, is as racy, as original, and as entertaining as his first work; indeed, there are parts of it which we hold to be superior to any of his former productions.— Mr. HOWARD'S Rattlin the Reefer runs the gallant Captain very hard. It is clearly an imitation of the MARRYAT . style, but there are many portions of the Reifer quite worthy of a place on the same tier with our excellent friend Peter Simple. The second number of Mr. RYALL'S veryimportant work, Portraits of Eminent Conservative Statesmen, has just been published. It con tains likenesses of his Grace the Duke of NEWCASTLE, Viscount SIDMOUTH, and Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, after pictures by PICKERSGILL, RICHMOND, and CHALON, aceompanitgl by biographical memoirs. The portrait of the Duke bears a strong resemblance to his Grace, bat is rather older in appearance than the original. Lord SIDMOUTH is also very like, bnt we do not think Mr. CHALON has been as suc- cessful as he usually is, in conveying the mild expression of Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT'S countenance, which is so truly characteristic of his mind and temper— the print besides gives the idea of a dark man, which Sir WILLIAM is not. The portrait of Sir WILLIAM, by SAY, which was exhibited two years since at Somerset House, was, in our opinion, admirable, and certainly should be engraved. We have received, with regret, the concluding number of one of the most beautiful works that have graced the press of late years, Dr. Beatiie's Sxvitzerland, illustrated by views from the pencil of Mr. BARTLETT. From the first number to the last it has sustained its • well- earned reputation, and a tolerably strong proof of its success is to be found in an apology prefixed to the concluding part for not publishing, according to promise, a list of subscribers, inasmuch as they amount to twenty thousand. We have read the Memoirs of Mrs. HEMANS, and are sorry to be unable to compliment the author upon the taste of his work. Many of the letters and remarks of the lamented lady convey to the reader an idea of frivolity and vanity, which, from all we have heard, were by no means prominent features of her character. One of the most difficult tasks of the biographer is to judge what is best to omit. Notes playfully written, thoughts hastily expressed, are not matters for record. The reader receives all that he finds set down in a matter- of- fact sense, in which, perhaps, it was not in- tended ; and it requires a discrimination which does not fall to the lot of all the world, to distinguish whether what a person has said, was said in joke or earnest. Some parts of th. e life are also left in too much obscurity to be useful, and events, which must have been of very serious importance, touched upon so slightly as to leave the " gentle reader" in a state of complete mystification. In the present Number of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, we have a j most elaborate article on Magnetism, by Sir DAVID BREWSTER, illus- trated with 85 wood- cuts, introduced into the body of the text. This, and the new article on Lithography, form two very striking features of the Seventy- seventh I'art of this splendid work.' The periodicals are, as usual, good; and the rapid return of the months leads ns, every time we receive such works, to marvel where the apparently inexhaustible stores of information and amusement come from, with which even the least popular of them is filled. Eraser has some excellent political and poetical matter; so has Blackwood. The New Monthly rejoices in much gaiety, and the Metropolitan keeps his usual course. The British Magazine de- mands, as it receives, we believe, the warmest support from all friends of the Church, as the United Service Journal claims that of the Army and Navy. The Pickwick Papers are this month irresistibly good. SMOLLETT never did any thing better than the 16th chapter in the present num- ber. The loss, of Mr. SEYMOUR to the work, as far as illustrations go, is obvious ; but while the author continues to serve up such rare treats as those which he has already laid upon our table, he will find the public appetite so sharpened as to be ready to gobble it all up even without plates. The sister country— if Ireland since the Union may be so called— is doing herself the greatest honour and credit in periodical litera- ture. There is not a better work going than the Dublin University Magazine— powerfully written, and advocating the best principles, we have no hesitation in saying that in Ireland its place is precisely the same as Blackwood's in Scotland. The birth- place of the poet CRABBE, Aldborongh, in Suffolk, is now one of the pleasantest and best frequented small watering places on the east coast. The White Lion Inn—" the rampant Lion," as the poet calls it in his Borough— is converted into an hotel, with baths, billiard- rooms, assembly- rooms, and other modern conveniences; but the old " parlour," the scene of the Bard's early amusement and first " knowledge of the woorld," is still preserved, and is viewed with much gratification by the visitors, to whom it is in itself a lion. Those nuisances, called Joint Stock Bank Companies, have been pleased to issue the following puff paragraph:— We are enabled to state, with some degree of confidence, that it is the intention of tile joint- stock Banks in Lancashire to call a meeting of their various directors, for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of. declining to receive Bank of England notes, and of taking the notes only of such Banks as oppose tile measures of the Bank of England, with a view of putting an end to that constant tampering with the currency by the Bank direction, under which the property of every manufacturer and merchant is placed in constant jeopardy. The natural consequence of this important measure will be the complete extrication of the manufacturing, commercial, and agricultural interests from the thraldom by which they have so long been oppressed. — These affairs require sharp looking after, and they shall have it. The remains of the much- lamented Baron SMITH were interred on Friday se'nnight in the family vault at Geasliill, King's county. All the neighbouring gentry, and the tenantry of the deceased, attended the melancholy procession. ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE. PREFERMENTS, & c.

His Lordship expressed himself very highly pleased with the answering on the occasion. The Lord Bishop of EXETER will hold an ordination at the Cathe- dra], on Sunday, 23d October. Candidates are required- to transmit their papers, under cover, to the Bishop, at the Palace, before the 20th of September. MISCELLANEOUS. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH, in addition to the numerous munificent donations he has given towards the erection of new Churches, has determined to build the new Church at Dalkeith at his Grace's sole expense, and at an expenditure of 8,0001. The Earl of DERBY has given the munificent sum of 1,0001. towards building two new Churches in the town of Bury, Lancashire. The great increase of population in the town and neighbourhood of Bury makes it very evident that an increased supply of room, dedicated to the public religious worship of GOD, has become absolutely necessary. Under this impression it was a short time since determined, at a meeting, held for the purpose, that measures should be immediately taken for building two new Churches, to contain 1,200 persons in each; the one iu Elton, in the neighbourhood of Bury Bridge— the other in the vicinity of Free Town, upon sites to be fixed hereafter ; and that 8,0001. should be raised by • subscription for this purpose, and for making an endowment to each of 1,0001. The subscriptions already amount to about 4,3001. The Right Hon. Lord WILLOUGHBY D'ERESBY has, in addition to a free grant of ground for the erection of the new Church at Crieff, mu- nificently subscribed the sum of 2001. towards the erection.— Glasgow Courier. CANTERBURY.— On occasion of the visitation of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY to this city, a dinner, on an unusually grand scale, was given by the Lord Bishop of OXFORD, at the Deanery. Amongst the company present on the occasion were— The Archbishop of Canter- bury, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Rosslyn, Lord Viscount Strang- ford, Lord and Lady Sondes, Sir C. Bagot, Sir R. Barlow, the Right Hon. S. R. Lushington, M. P., Col. Webb, the Revs. R. Moore, James Croft, Hon. J. E. Boscawen, John Pe41, W. F. fiaylay, Dr. Russell, Dr. Spry, F. Dawson, and W. Wood, Prebendaries ; Dr. Barneby, B. Hodgson, Esq., T. Starr. Esq., W. Abbott, Esq., & c. On Sunday morning his Grace the Archbishop preached an eloquent and impres- sive sermon to anumerous and attentive congregation at the Cathedral. On Monday last, a meeting of the nobility, Clergy, and gentry, from several parts of the county, was held at the Royal Oak Inn, Dover, in behalf of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. His Grace tile Archbishop ot CANTERBURY took the chair. A large assemblage of persons were present— many of whom were ladies. The collection at the doors amounted to 761. After the meeting his Grace proceeded to Broome, the seat of Sir HENRY OXENDEN, where a large party was invited to meet him. Among the company assseinbled were— his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Earl and Countess of Guilford, Earl Rosslyn, Sir Brook and Lady Brydges, Sir Henry and Lady Montresor, Sir F. Mulcaster, besides many of the neighbouring gentry and Clergy, and their families. His Grace left Broome the following morning, for Dover, to hold a. visitation. COMMUTATION OF TITHES.— The plan for commutation laid down in the Act is two- fold, voluntary and compulsory. Up to the first of October, 1838, it w; ill be in the power of the land- owners and tithe- owners in any parish to meet and make arrangements among them- selves for the commutation of all the Tithes in their parish, subject to the provisions of the Act, and the commutation of the Tithe Com- missioners. This mode of confirmation will be found to be highly- important, and will, may be hoped, be extensively adopted. Indeed, where parties are guided by reasonable desires, none can be so well acquainted with the details in each parish as the individuals on both sides who have an interest in the paying and receiving of Tithes. We are glad to find that, a society is likely to be formed in this county ( siniilar to one in the diocese of Bath and Wells), in con- nection with the Incorporated Society in London for Building and Repairing Churches and Chapels. We hear requisitions are in circu- lation in the different Deaneries to convene a public meeting of the laity and Clergy for the laudable purpose or establishing such an institution.-— Dorset Chronicle. The Chapel in Castle- street, Reading, recently occupied by the Rev.. JAMES SHERMAN, was opened on Thursday evening as a Chapel of ease to St. Mary's Church. Thfc R ev. P. FRENCH read the evening service., and a sermon was preached by the Rev. W. MARSH, M. A., of Bir- mingham, who alluded, with " much good taste and feeling, to the gratifying fact of the return of so large and respectable a congrega- tion into the bosom of the Church of England— a fact that mnst afford sincere joy to all lovers of our venerable establishment. Most of our readers know that this Chapel was erected by followers of the late Hon. and Rev. W. CADOGAN, whose successor, at St. Giles' Churchy did not, in their opinion, preachsimilar doctrines. They still retained the liturgical service of the Church, and always manifested a warm attachment to her discipline. A union with the establishment had long been desired, but it was not until the recent vacancy found Eracticable. We understand that a permanent incumbent will shortly e engaged.— Berkshire Chronicle. The Lord Bishop of ELY will hold his first ordination on the 27th of November next, at Ely. A Bazaar was held at^ Oswestry, last week, in aid of the funds for erecting a new Church in that borough. Lady LUCY CLIVE, Lady LEIGHTON, the Hon. Mrs. BRIDGMAN, Hon." Mrs. LEIGHTON, and other Indies of the neighbourhood, presided at the various stalls, one of which was richly furnished with contributions from her MAJESTY, and the total receipts amounted to 6901. On Monday the Lord Bishop of LICHFIELD and COVENTRY held his primary and final Visitation at Coventry, and on the following day at Coleshill. His Lordship was attended by the Chancellor, the Archdeacon, his Chaplain, the Registrar, and other officers of the diocese. The attendance of Clergy was numerous at both places* The Bishop, in the course of his charge, stated that the annexation of the county of Warwick with the diocese of Worcester would imme- diately take place; adding, that the change would have occurred ear- lier, had it not been his earnest desire to make one visitation of the whole_ diocese, that he might be enabled to testify his affection for this his native county, as well as for Salop, in which so much of his life had been passed, and which was ere long to be annexed to the see of Chester. His Lordship dined with liis Clergy in the after- noon, and on leaving the dinner table about six o'clock, took leave of them by observing, that although he should no longer be united with them in a public capacity, he hoped they would still regard him in the light of a private friend, and concluded by expressing his earnest wishes for their happiness under the auspices of another diocesan. We regret to state, that his Lordship appeared to labour under con- siderable indisposition, which we fear must have increased daring his progress, as we find that at Stafford he was compelled to remain seated during the delivery of his Charge, and that it. evidently required great effort to give to it that effect his Lordship desired.— Wor- cester Journal. ASTON CHURCH- RATES.— It will be in the recollection of our readers that, some weeks ago, Mr. AARON, surgeon, and six or seven of the householders, were charged by the Churchwardens for non- pay- ment of Church- rates. The t ' liurchwardens were advised, on the decision of the Court having been pronounced in their favour, to obtain a warrant at once, and to, proceed immediately to distrain, " to strike the iron while it was hot," was the phrase. They did not, however, follow this vigorous advice, but let the matter rest until Tuesday, when they proceeded to execute what, it is only fair to infer, must have been felt to be a disagreeable duty, and which may, in the issue, prove a useless one. On that day they proceeded, accompanied by the prison- keeper of Deritend— we don't know why he was on the occasion associated with the Church officials— to Mr. AARON'S bouse, where, after looking about for some time, they laid hold of four kitchen chairs, a pair of brass candlesticks, and a brass stewpan, which they carried off, first to a public- house in the neighbourhood, and then to " the Lamp" public- house, next door to Bordesley prison. From another of the recusants the wardens seized a new fender. Mr. AARON'S rate amounts, we believe, to seven shillings, and the costs of the application to the Magistrates to five shillings more. On the dis- traint being made, Mr. AARON, and the rest of the parties distrained on, handed to the Churchwardens and their coadjutor, the prison- keeper, a protest, of which the following is a copy: To Mr. JOHN BREARLEY PAYN, and Mr. JOHN SMALLVFOOD, Churchwardens of the parish of Aston, and WILLIAM D wit* BROWNELL, prison- keeper at Deritend. I, the undersigned, being of opinion that the exaction of a com- pulsory tax for the support of any religious sect or denomination whatsoever, is unjust, oppressive, and opposed to the principles of Christianity, do hereby protest against the seizure of any portion of my properly, for the payment of any such tax ; and farther, I pro- test against the disposal of such portion of my property as may he so taken by private sale or bargain; and I hereby give you notice, that unless you be fully and legally authorised and empowed to seize and sell any portion of my goods and chattels, which I do not admit, I shall feel myself at perfect liberty to take such steps as I may he advised in consequence of any informality in the proceedings by vir- tue of which you assume to act. Dated this 30lh day of August, 1836. ( Signed) I. AAROX. It is expected that the sale will be public, and that it will lake place on an early day next veek. We have no doubt there will be a nume- rous company. [ The above statement is extracted from the Journal and is sub- stantially correct. We have only to observe, that Mr. BROVVNELL- the prison- keeper of Deritend, is the person who usually executes all warrants for rates, and to whose house property so seized is generally removed— that with our contemporary we agree that the Church- wardens must have felt they wt re called- upon to perform a very disagreeable duty, but we think a very useful one, and that we sin- cerely hope the sale will be public, although not necessarily so by law, because we have " no doitbt'' not only the company will be exceedingly " numerous," but that the goo'ds w^ ll fetch very excellent prices. Such a result will, " no doubt," be equally gratifying to the tf Church officials'' and the semi- Jew. semi- Socinian " recusant."] A meeting of the parishioners of St. Paul's, Covent- earden., iras held on Friday night, for the purpose of making a Church- rate of Id- in the pound. The Rev. Mr. BOWERS presided. The Republicans mustered the whole of their strength. Upon the introduction of the motion for the rate it was clearly shown that tlie rate was for paying- the sum of 2151. to the bankers, and an annuity of 601. in respect of monies advanced under a specific Act of Parliament for the rebuild- ing of the parish Church; and that the Act gave the creditors of the parish the power not only of making a rate upon the refusal of the parishioners to do so, but to proceed against the parish officers for the interest of tlie monies lent, or to go upon the poor- rate for it. These forcible reasons for a Id. rate were treated with derision by the honest Republican pay- masters, who, with the assistance of friends from all parts of the metropolis, succeeded in deciding thist the creditors should not be paid 20s. in the pound, by a majority of 83 against 51. H ALESOVVEN.— On the 24th ult., at ameeting of the parishioners sot! friends of the Rev. JOHN PIERCY, LL. B., of Halesowen, in the' county of Salop, Col. SMITH in the chair, a purse containing1 273 sovereigns was presented to that gentleman, on his relinquishing tie- Curacy of the parish, in testimony of their high esteem and re'gartS for his exemplary conduct during his Ministry amongst them. 296 j o h n b u l l September 11.

SOUTH LANCASHIRE CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.— This annual festival, which is looked forward to bv the Conservatives of South Lancashire with pride and satisfaction, as being the means of an- nually announcing to the country the loyal and constitutional teel- ings which actuate the majority of tbe wealthy and influential inha- bitants, took place at the Conservative- hall, Newton- in- tlie- Willows, Lancashire, on Thursday last. This was the second annual dinner held ill the liall, a magnificent building, built by tne subscriptions of the gentlemen, merchants, and tradesmen of* the southern divi- sion, and its interior was elegantly and tastefully fitted up for tbe occasion. There were thirteen table*, exclusive of the one appro- priated lo the Chairman and his friends, the whole capable of containing upwards of one thousand gentlemen. Divisions in the tables were ricketted with the names of the town from which the various members of the association came, so as to give them an op- portunity of sitting near their intimate acquaintances. These divi- sions included the towns of Liverpool, Manchester, WarriDgton, Worsley, Wigatt, Bolton, Rochdale, St. Helen's, Bury. Prescot, Southporf, Tyldesley, and Ormskirk. Over the chair of the President waved the Union Jack, on which a crown was displayed, with the inscription " King and Constitution," and " Church and State." A splendid banner also bore tbe words " The Conservatives of South Lancashire, may their principles and their numbers grow with their growth and strengthen with their strength." The triumphant flags used at the last general election, when Lord Francis Egerton and the Honourable Bootle Wilbraham were re- turned members for the county, were suspended on each side of the Chairman. The hall was brilliantly lightei by twelve chande- liers, and one branched extra lights, furnished and neatly arranged by Mr. . Uolineux, of Manchester; and the general mauangement of the whole proceeding reflected much credit on the stewards of the day, the immense assemblage ( as it was remarked) requiring more organising than the 120 who recently banquetted at the great Whig dinner of the West Riling of Yorkshire. At one end ot the room was placed a fine full- length portrait of George 111., nttired in the Conservative robes, and at the opposite side was another of the late Duke of York, painted from au original picture in the possession of the Corporation of Liverpool. The thirteen pillars supporting the fabric were each ornamented with blue and white flags, and among them th- most conspicuous was ill • one recently presented by the ladies of Ashton under- Line to the Conservative Association of that place. A spacious music gallery was erected at one side of the room for the use of the band, which also contained a number of elegantly dressed females. Lady Willon, accompanied by several ladies, were accommodated with seats immediasely at the back of the President's chair. ... * The preliminaries of the dinner being gone through, the Earl of Wilton took the chair. He was supported by Lord Sk'jlinersdale, Sir R. Brooke, Bart., Mr. W. Eiterton, Sir'!'. Freemautle. Bart., M. P., Sir R. Bar tic. Bt., Mr. J. Entwisle, M. P., Mr. J. I. Blackburn, M. P., Mr. J. Lees.

Smith, of Lever- hall, near Bolton, & c.— The usual loyal and constitutional toasts were drunk with the warmest enthusiasm — several admirable speeches were delivered, and the whole proceeding passed off with the greatest unanimity. We regret to learn that fears are entertained for the safety of the Jmt'I tVittiam lientinck, which vessel had been chartered to convey the 17th Regiment from Sydney to Bombay, as letters from Scura- baya were received on Thursday, at Lloyds, to the Grii of M : tv, stating thiit tilt' . tames PattishiL and the Susan had arrived at Point Panca, from Sydney. Captain Cromarty reported the probable loss of the Jstrd ll'illium lientinck, which vessel left Sydney with them ; when off tbe Barrier Reef they encountered a very severe gale, which lasted 48 hours. The two vessels succeeded in weathering the gale with the loss of their anchors, but the Lord IVilitam Bintinck they saw nothing of afterwards, although they waited in Torres Straits for five days. Aware of the anxiety that must be felt by the many having friends in the regiment, we have made every inquiry, and the above is all the information that has a* yet been received ; at the s; ime time, we indulge in the hope, that tbey have outlived the storm, and proceeded " on their voyage, the vessel being a first- class ship, and commanded by a very able and experienced Captain. We also hear that a majority of the officers were on board another transport, there not being sufficient accommodation in the Lord tVilliam lieutinck for all. Captain Neile Sinclair, of his Majesty's 55th Regiment, while on the road from BellarJ'to Madras to take his trial by Court- martial for certain charges, bung himself in an outhouse with his silk hand- kerchief. He was the senior Captain of the regiment. It is said that Major- General Sir Willoughby Cotton, the present Lieutenant Governor of Plymouth, will be appointed Governor of Bombay next" month, in the room of Sir Robert Grant. ATTEMPT TO MURDER A PROTESTANT CLERGYMAN..— We have just been informed that the Rev. Mr. Coote, the Protestant Rector of Doon, was fired at on Sunday last, between iwo and three o'clock p. m. The Rev. gentleman, we understand, was riding down the ave- nue of a lady whom he had been visiting in that neighbourhood, when two men attacked him. and one of them fired, but happily without - effect. The other assailant was also about repeating the murderous attempt, when the arrival of a funeral prevented him. The cause assigned is, we understand, the interminable one of tithes, Mr. Coote having been serving rebellion writs in that county.— Limerick Star. Friday evening an inquest was held at the Fountain Tavern, . Amwell- street, Pentonville, on the body of Mr. Samuel Noon, aged 43. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased resided with his family at No. 27, Amwell- street. On Wednesday evening he was in his usual health and spirits, and had taken a walk with some of his children. After supper the unfortunate gentleman was sitting with Mrs. Noon, and was conversing with her, when he was suddenly taken alarmingly ill— one of the servants was despatched immediately for Mr. Ramsbottom, a surgeon, who promptfy attended, and found the deceased in an almost dying state, but still sensible— and collected. He ( deceased) observed to Mr. Ramsbottom " that he knew he was gomg to another and better world ; that his time was come, and that it was useless to attempt to benefit him." A few minutes after the deceased breathed his last. Mr. Ramsbottom gave it as his decided opinion that the death of the deceased was perfectly natural, occa- sioned by the rupture of a vessel in the region of the heart.
