OVAL NAVAL SCHOOL, established at Camberwell in 1833.— The Council having decided to build a permanent School- house for the accommodation of 3^ 0 pupils, and having opened a subscription to carry into effect this most desirable object, consider it respectful to the public, and just to the Naval Service in general, to make known their intention by advertise- ment. The Report of the Examination of the pupils, in all the various branches of education, is so perfectly satisfactory, that the Council are induced to hope that, all the friends of the Naval Service will aid them in their object, of raising a fund for building. The number of Orphans and Children of Officers in necessi- tous circumstances, boarded and educated gratuitously, or at a very reduced charge, will, of course, depend on the state of the general funds of the establish- ment when the proposed building is paid for. The under- mentioned Bankers and all the Navy Agents in London have kindly promised to receive subscriptions:— Messrs. Coutts and Co., Strand; Messrs. Drummond and Co., Charing- oyoss; and Messrs.

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. By perseverance the Force have been defeated, and are taught this lesson, that, how- ever useful they may be when acting under proper direction and control, they fight against a host, even in an individual, when they fight against truth and justice, and the consequent protection of Heaven. This statement is upon oath, and cannot in any one point be disproved, and it is advertised in order to prevent the public from implicating themselves in it, for it is actionable.— London, Sept. 10, 1836. DISEASES of the' EYE.— MrTMARSHALL, Surgeon Oculist; the discoverer of the GUTTA VEGETABI LIS, for the cure of CATARACT, and other dangerous diseases of the Eye, without Surgical Operation, or any painful Application, may be consulted Daily, from Ten till Four o'clock, at No. 30, NGerrard- street, Soho, London. A SYLUM FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC LIFE OFFICE, TjIL 70, Cornhill, and 5, Waterloo- place, London.— Established in 1824. " The Asylum-( says the historical sketch of the various Life Offices) was in- stituted for the express purpose of assuring deteriorated lives— lives rejected by oilier Offices, and lives avowedly diseased. To this unprecented but most useful business, it was al first restricted; and the philanthropist will say it ought to succeed." Soon after its establishment, this Office added to its original businessthe assurance of select lives on lower terms and under a greater variety of modes than any other Office ; and by thus ringing changes on equivalents, holds out attractions well suited to the taste and circumstances of the public at the present day." DIRECTORS. The Honourable William Fraser, Chairman. Colonel Lushington, C. B., Deputy Chairman. REDUCTION in the PRICE of NEWSPAPERS.— Messrs. MANSELL and Co. r General Newspaper Agents, respectfully inform the Inhabitants of the Midland Counties, that " JOHN BULL" may be had direct from London, or Birmingham, and the late Edition earlier from the latter place than the former, in any parts of the North.

The only other venders appointed in London are T. Littlejohn and Son, of Edinburgh, Confectioners, in King William- street, Mansion- house. In proof of the quality of these Teas, it will suffice to give one extract from the numerous public testimo- nials :—" One trial of Howqua's Teas will convince the most sceptical of its su- periority over all others."— Brighton Patriot, Oct. 20, 1835.

HAND- IN- HAND INSURANCE OFFICE, New Bridge- street, Blackfriars. Established 1696. LIFE DEPARTMENT. The Directors of this Society give notice, that they are now prepared to effect Insuranees on Lives, in addition to the business which they have hitherto carried on. The plan which has been determined upon, and the tables of premiums, 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 ere long 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 share of the profits, either in money payments, or by additions to the sums insured, or by the premiums being reduced, as may be preferred. The usual Commission will be given to professional men and others, who may have it in their power to promote the interests of the Office.

Warehouse, 107, Strand, comer of the Savoy- steps, London. JOHN BURGESS and SON, being apprised of the numerous endeavours made by many persons to impose a spurious article for their make, feel itincumbent upon them to request the attention of the Public, in purchasing what they conceive to be the original, to observe the Name and Address correspond with the above. The general appearance of the spurious descriptions will deceive the unguarded, and for their detection, J. B. and Son submit the following Cau- tions: some are in appearance at first sight " The Genuine," but without any name or address— some " Burgess's Essence of Anchovies"— others " Burgess," and many more without address. JOHN BURGESS and SON having been many years honoured with such dis- tinguished approbation, feel every sentiment of respect towards the Public, and earnestly solicit them to inspect the labels previous to purchasing what they con- ceive to be of their make, which they hope will pievent many disappointments.

Langshawe, who recently made so great a hit at the Canterbury Theatre, in the part of Tom Tug, and was compelled to repeat The Pilot three times, has been the cause of this ballad being introduced to his Majesty. The Hon. Lady H. was present when Mr. Langshawe sung it; immediately on her return to town her ladyship procured a copy, and sung it at a select party of their Majesties at Windsor Castle, with great delicacy and effect; at its conclusion his Majesty exclaimed. " Very good, very good, indeed, my lady II., very charming song, and very charmingly sung too! Pray, will you tell me the composer's name •"—" Nelson, please your Majesty."--" Ah ! Nelson, and The Pilot," said the King ; " how very odd;' I wonder whether he is any relation of my old friend and messmate the Admiral? I must see him, I must see him," addedhis Majesty, with his usual condescension. ANVENTURES OF A GENTLEMAN IN SEAIlcn OF A HoRSE.— We cannot do better than direct the attention of that numerous class of our readers who are interested in the choice and management of horses, to that excellent little work, which has already reached a second edition, under the above title. It is evidently the production of a gentleman of some judgment and extensive experience, and con- veys in a most lively and graphic style, information which may be the means of enabling the reader to form a correct judgment on a subject which is often a source of much unavoidable expense as well as frequently of personal annoyance. The cost of the scheme is trifling, but the value of possessing it may prove incaculable. WASHINGTON IRVING.— We are glad to hear that a new work, entitled Astoria, from the pen of Washington Irving, may be expected immediately. This announcement will be received with a delight similar to that which attended a new production from the pen of Sir Walter Scott. It has been well observed that there is no writer who pleases more generally than Washington Irving. All his prose is poetry. Realities when garbed by him, walk in silk attire, harp in band, joy in the countenance, and all sorts of elegant delight in attendance. His productions exhibit that ensemble of melodious style, sentimental tenderness, and rich association of ideas, that eminently qualifies him for the place of an especial favourite, from the splendid drawing- room to the humble cottage parlour. Astoria will appear early in October. RATTLIN THE REEFER, EDITED BY THE AUTHOR OT " PETER SIMPLE," < fcc.— This capital novel is well adapted to sustain the literary reputation of Captain Marryat, if he be the author, and if he be not, to entitle him to the thanks of all orthodox novel readers for introducing to them so pleasant an acquaintance. The author is equally at home ashore or afloat; equally happy in describing the whimsical and tragi- comic vagaries of Captain Reid, of his Majesty's ship Ecos, tlie flagellative amenities of the groves of Academus, or the startling phenomenon of a naval captain enacting a tetotnm on the unseemly and unstable foundation of a quart bottle.— Morning Post. PRINCE OF CANINO'S MEMOIRS.— Some doubts having been ex- pressed as to the authenticity of the Prince of Canino's forthcoming Memoirs, especially in France, where so many spurious publications have appeared, the Prince has directed his publishers to prefix the following attestation to the first volume of his work, which is to ap- pear on the 25th instant:— " London, Sept. 7,1836. " I declare, by the present attestation written entirely in my own hand, that Messrs. Saunders and Otley, booksellers, of London, are authorised exclusively to publish, and cause to be published, when, and as thev shall determine, the first volume of my " Memoirs," as also the English translation. I declare also that these are the only Memoirs written by myself, and I disown all those which have liitherto appeared under my name or without my signature.— And in verification, " L. PRINCE DE CANINO." FRANCE.— The French papers of Thursday's date contain little do- mestic intelligence worth noticing. Most of them contain attacks upon the Mole and Guizot Cabinet, the completion of which the Moniteur does not yet announce. Who will be the War Minister is still doubtful, though Marshal Molitor is named by most of the journals. As for the department of Commerce and Public Works, the former branch is said to have been added to the Finance Mi- nister's task, M. Martin du Nord deeming the latter quite sufficient for his capacity. His successor as I'rocureur- General in the Court Royal of Paris is stated to be M. Hebert, who occupies a similar station in the Court Royal of Metz. SPAIN.— Letters and papers from Madrid to the 5th inst., confirm, to the full, the statements which have been already made respecting the important advantages obtained by the Carlist Generals Gomez and Basilio, over tlieQueen'sGnarda, under Lopez, in the neighbour- hood of the capital. Upon the particulars of this discomfiture, tne Government papers maintain a silence, but there is every reason to conclude, from the private accounts, that the reported extent of the loss on the Christino side had not been exaggerated. Instead of being able to fall back in good order, as was pretended, upon Siguenza, Lopez, himself, wounded, and with a handful of men, for all but twenty are said to have been cut off, was obliged to make a disorderly and precipitate escape. The defeat is ascribed on all hands to the insurbordination of the Queen's troops. Amongst these heroes were no less than two battalions of men who had distinguished themselves in the mutiny at San Ildefonso, and • who, pluming themselves upon their successes there, clamoured to be led against the enemy, from whom Lopez's better judgment and cantion would rather have waited the attack. Lopez, it appears, had some hope of receiving assistance from Espartero, and would have waited for it till next day. However, the impatience of his tur- bulent followers was not to be restrained, and an ignominious over- throw punished them for their insubordination. They even re- proached their hesitating officer with treachery and cowardice. The loss on the Queen's side is now estimated at from 1,000 to 1,800 men. Calvero is said to have marched into Catalonia. The Serrador was in the neighbourhood of Benicarlo. The rains have commenced, and will, ^ course, ia some degree, retard the movements of all JPT; THE PROVINCIAL PRESS.! The anniversary meeting of a highly meritorious society took place at Chichester on Wednesday last. It is entitled the " West Sussex Association for the Encouragement of meritorious and industrious Agricultural Labourers." A ploughing match took place in the morning, and a prize was won by the successful candidate, and in the afternoon premiums were given to agricultural labourers, widows, single men and women who have lived long in situations, and acquitted themselves with credit and good repute. The scene pre- sented in distributing the prizes was highly interesting, and after the distribution of the prizes about 150 gentlemen sat down to an excel- lent dinner at the Dolphin Inn, Lord GEORGE LENNOX presiding as chairman, having repaired from France, where he was staying with his family, in order to sanction the meeting by his presence. We are happy in bearing our tribute to the advantages of such a society, which cannot fail to act as a most beneficial stimulus to the good conduct and exertions of the labouring classes. As Mr. C. R. B. GRANVILLE, Adjutant of the 80th Regiment, now at Trinidad, was bathing from a boat in Dumpton Bay, near Broad- stairs, not being an expert swimmer, he sank to rise no more, before the waterman, who accompanied him could afford any assistance. A verdict of " Accidentally drowned" has been returned.— Kentish Chronicle. The Radicals of Leeds have had a public- private dinner, one hundred and twenty- three persons out of a population of about one hundred thousand have entertained Lord Morpeth, and he has enter tained them. We allude to it chiefly as another instance of the absurdity of considering that " the people" have any thing to do with such exhibitions. It is convenient, indeed, to say that because six- score inhabitants of of a town will listen to and applaud the abusers of Conservatives, " the people" agree with them— but the circum- stance is just as much a proof of popular opinion, as tliefact of a man sitting silently is evidence of his being dumb. • « . . . Turn the Papists out of the House of Commons, or prevent them becoming perjured by forbidding them to vote on the question, and the Peers will not be called upon to tear the appropriation clause out of the Irish Church Bill— there will be none in it;-— hear the ENGLISH people through the Representatives of EKGLAND, and the Protestants of Ireland will be safe. It is pitiful as well as base talk of the Ilonse of Peers as setting itself in battle array against the House of Com- mons ; butitis worse than base and pitiful to assert, as Mr. Ilutt has done, that the Lords " dely and insult" the Commons .— Hull Packet. We perceive by the Hull Packet that the constituents of Mr. Hutt— Tory, Whig and Radical— have been calling their representa- tive to account for what they consider a betrayal of his trust in the matter of a Bill, professing to be for the " Reform" of the Trinity house of that Port. The Hon. Member will therefore do well to look to his interests at home; or the " WE " by whom the Peers are to be abolished may not include the worthy who sits in the seat of Andrew Marvell. This is a gloomy prospect for the Protestants of Ireland in their own land, and through their local Government, but hope beams to us from the other side of the channel. It will be seen that Conservatism is extending in England, and demonstrating itself, so as to prove that a great and saving re- action is taking place in the public mind. The arcli- incendiary, himself, the detestable O'Connell, acknowledges that re- action—" thepeople of England," he says, " are against justice to Ireland"— the happiest justice she could experience would be to see the justice of the law inflicted on the trading professing friend who is practically her greatest enemy.— Dublin fPai • der. The Edinburgh Evening Post has a very sensible and well- timed article on the subject of the approaching Municipal elections— a subject to which the Conservative press ought at once to direct the especial attention of all who love the constitution and oppose anarchy. From this article we extract the concluding paragraph;— Let no opportunity, then, be omitted to return gentlemen of ap- proved character to the Council; and this can only be done by systematic measures and organised bodies, such as the Whigs never fail to employ in forwarding tlieir party objects. An association should be formed in every district— officers should be appointed— in short, the machinery of canvassing ought to be formed and maintained in due rigour. This is what the Whigs have done; and again we repeat that they must be fought with tlieir own weapons. THE POOR LAW COMMISSIONERS.— Their Honours are getting an old house about their ears. Even those of the Ministerial scribes, who are base enough to fawn upon them, begin to smell, like rats, the impending ruin of their worthless establishment. They now think that the Commissioners have exhibited " uncalled- for se- verity." That is a mistake. Severity, and nothing but severity, could be had at their hands. What do they know of laws or their ad- miiiistration but the application of severity ? They are and must be constitutionally, as well as by position, cruel. They have no other claim upon, any mail's respect— no, not even on Lord Brougham's, if we could come at the truth. " Regularity of life and restriction of vagrant tastes, in the inmates of workhouses, are pretty nearly all that is necessary to render those habitations less eligible to idle and ill- disposed subjects than the wages of independent labour." This is a pretty discovery for the small fry of the Whigs, after attempting to vilify the manly indignation of the English people at the gross and offensive violation of their rights over their own property by this act, which transfers those rights to the irresponsible dictation of the noodles at Somerset I louse.— Manchester Advertiser ( Radical.) The Leeds Intelligencer throws some light upon the recent election for East Cumberland— an election upon which his Majesty's Minis- ters have small reason for self- congratulation. Mr. James indeed will swell the ranks of the Republicans, by one ; with Mr. Hutt of Hull, and Mr. Hume of Middlesex, and Mr. O'Connell of Ireland, he will work to destroy Protestantism ; but perhaps " the King's Go- vernment" may find it. has made a bad exchange. In Mr. Blamire the Ministry had a steady supporter; in Mr. James they have a man who will certainly go with them as far as they go in pulling down, but who will generally be found stepping beyond, them, in the ranks of Roebuck, O'Connell, Waklev, and Hume when they, from shame or interest, refuse to go the'" whole hog." So that the Ministry have exchanged a constant supporter for an oc- casional one— a steady, calculating friend, for a hairbrained, boil- ing- over, fat- in- the- fire politician ; one, in short, who, in his public capacity, never said any but foolish tilings, and never did a wise one. That he was not opposed on the recent occasion results from a va- riety of circumstances, but chiefly from the prevalent feeling that a general election approaches, and the consequent uselessness of spend- ing money on a battle that must soon have been fought over again. But so far as regards the electioneer nginterests of Sir James Graham, and the Conservatives of the Division generally, the return of Mr. James is a fortunate event, because it will throw into their ranks a great number of electors who would in all probability have taken the other side had a better choice been made. Mr. James was brought out, in the first instance, by a little knot of persons in Carlisle and its immediate neighbourhood, who had been privately advised of the intended vacancy; and these persons trapped a considerable number of the electors, by inducing them to sign a requisition, before there was any time for reflection. Such proceedings always lead to re- action ; and should the new Member- elect ever take his seat, and open liis month in the Commons, the Eastern Division of Cumber- land will speedily be on the look- out for a representative of another order. The Ulster Times says;— If you really wish to put down, once and for ever, the semblance of influence which this seditious miscreant ( O'Connell) turns to such lucrative account, beard it, and it is at an end. Grasp the nettle— it cannot sting. Do justice— real and sub- stantial justice— to this ill- fated country; establish an equitable sys- tem of poor laws, encourage and protect those who are anxious to liberate themselves from foreign domination and to own allegiance fo British law alone, foster industry, improve agriculture, open new communications, and suppress, with a stern hand, all seditious asso- ciations, all resistance to law, all who would impede, from selfish- ness, or ignorance, or guilty design, the progress of amelioration— firmly and calmly pursue this course, and where will O'Connell, and his employers, and his myrmidons be ? — This is all very well> and seems very wise. But, while Ireland is made the cat's- paw of Daniel and his Lieutenant, who will be silly enough to embark capital in that unhappy country ? We fancy that our contemporary puts the cart before the horse. Buckingham's case is merely an epitome of the whole conduct of your Whig politicians. Out of office, the indignant declaimers against " pensions"—" jobs"— and " abuses"— and in place, the earnest advocates of every measure that before seemed, in their eyes, vile and contemptible ; out of office, flaming patriots; and in place, patronage- hunting sycophants, or cowardly oppressors, they laugh at the credulity of their followers, and deride the hopes of " the people" whom they profess to serve.— Nottingham Journal. We find throughout the country newspapers expressions equally strong on the subject of Mr. Buckingham and his " claims." Few of them consider the Member for Sheffield as other than a " humbug;" but they look upon Lord John and John Com as " humbugs" of a shade still deeper. Hear the Boston Herald on the same topic :— Nothing can be more base and contemptible than the conduct of Sir John Hobhouse, who, in common with the rest of his present colleagues, was ready and willing, when in Opposition, to give his support to a claim which he afterwards, when in power, denounced as a " paltry and trumpery affair." — And hear also the Doncasler Chronicle:— Mr. Buckingham lias personal motives for denouncing the Whigs; they refused to sanction his compensation Bill, and Sir John Hob- house even warmly opuosed it. Here they did right; but as they previously supported Mr. Buckingham, and encouraged him in lus crusade against the India Company,— he is justified in the severity of liis censure: and he has unveiled a piece of political baseness, wliich must stamp the Whigs with everlasting obloquy. These are his words." BERKSHIRE.— The proceedings of the Town Council of Reading, in passing a vote of censure on the Mayor, will be read with as much interest as the sayings and doings of that curious assembly generally possess. It appears that the Mayor, being one of the Trustees of tlie various local charities, had joined his co- trustees in a petition to tlie Lord Chancellor for directions how to act during the present ano- malous and extraordinary state of the law on that subject. Now the worshipful Council, who are four- fifths Radical, and therefore in- tensely desirous of managing the trust property, were not consulted, and. finding themselves almost too late, grew exceedingly wroth with the Mayor and the other Trustees, and resolved on visiting the offence with their heaviest vengeance— conveyed in a vote of censure. They have achieved this exploit, there being always " a tail" sufficiently numerous to vote anything commanded by the respectable and dis- interested attorney who, on a small scale, O'Connellizes in our muni- cipal Parliament.— Berkshire Chronicle. IRELAND. Lono MULGRAVE'S CLEMENCY.— In a late number of the Packet we recorded the circumstances of an attack on a person name CAREY, at Moliil, who returned the fire of his assailants, and by his bravery andintrepidity escaped fromhis dwelling, wliich was set on fire.— We have since learned that the cause of the attack was his having prose- cuted a person who had cruelly beaten his brother. That person was sentenced to a long imprisonment, but was subsequently liberated by Lord MULGRAVE. Shortly afterhis release the murderous attack was made on CARF. Y ; and it is but reasonable to suppose that the object of Lord MULGRAVE'S clemency was of the assailing party. So much for the system of soothing violators of the law by the exercise of the prerogative of mercy.— Dublin Packet. Another blow is aimed at the Radicals, Irish as well as English, in the following missive from Derrynane. The recent stout talking of Tom Reynolds at the Trades Union, about repeal and sundry other topics, is here significantly hinted at:— "' Derrynane Abbey, Sept. 6. " My dear French— I write to transmit to you a check for 51. from that distinguished Radical Reformer Sir Charles Wolsely, Bart. He has indeed been a martyr to his sincerity in the cause of national liberty, and I nm not a little proud that he should select me as the organ of his admission into the " General Association of Ireland." If all the Radicals of England were as straightforward and as honest as he is, there would not be one of them found at the side of the tyrannic Tories. 1 regret much to say that some of the most active and useful allies of Toryism are to be found amongst men calling themselves Radicals. But a real Radical, like Sir Charles Wolsely, whilst he regrets the tardiness of the Whigs, does not on that account fling himself into the arms of tlie deadly enemies of civil and religious liberty— the Tory faction." The election for a representative Peer is secured to Lord Ilawar- den, despite of all the Mulgrave- Wliig- Radical efforts to oust his Lordship and put in Lord Lismore. A desperate riotous mob meeting of the Trades' Union took placo last night. Several of the fellows attacked Tom Reyn dds for daring to speak liis inind about O'Connell, and the part he took in throwing overboard poor laws for Ireland. Tom stood up manfully in his own defence, and let the cat out of the bag in reference to the existence of a secret committee amongst these immaculate patriots. His com- mittee, he said, was " eight millions !" of Irishmen. But Lord Mul- grave knows nothing of such things, and allows these factionists to preach up sedition and disloyalty without interruption, while he pockets his twenty thousand a year. CATTAIN DUFF MULGRAVIZEO. — So far from being dis- missed or punished for his interference with Protestant worship, as was erroneously stated, this officious agitator has actually been pro- moted to a higher and more lucrative situation than before ! He has, in fact, been removed from a temporary appointment in Cavau to the permanent situation of Stipendiary Magistrate for Monaghan, with the salary of eight hundred a year! _ So it is in every case Let a man show an unscrupulous ferocity in persecuting Protestants and Protestantism, and he is honoured and rewarded. Witness Gore Jones, William John Hancock, and Sir Frederick Stoven, a catalogue f> which we may now aid Captain Dnlf! The following notice was, on Thursday morning, issued from the Cishier's Office in the Bank of England:— The Governor and Company of the Bank of England do hereby give notice that they will make advances on the security of the certificates given by the paymasters of Exchequer Bills, for such bills now adver- tised as have been delivered into the Exchequer Bill Office, for the purpose of being exchanged for new bills. Such advances to be repaid on or before the 20th of October next, together with in- terest at the rate of 51. per cent, per annum.— Bank of Eugland, Sept. 15" — This notice, which manifests the disposition of the Bank Directors to furnish every accommodation to the commer cial world not inconsistent with the measures of precaution which they have felt it necessary to adopt, produced a favourable impression on the Money Market, which was also corroborated by the proceedings in the Court of Proprietors of the Bank, when, with scarcely a dissentient voice, the course which had been pursued by the Directors, met with unqualified approval. Little doubt now exists in unprejudiced minds that a fearful crisis has, by timely severity, been avoided, and that in spite of the unprincipled attempts male, under tlie influence of party feeling, to create general mj^ frust and alarm. At the Court a dividend of 4 per cent, was unanimously agreed to and a vote of thanks to the Governor, Deputy Governor, and Directors was unanimously agreed to. MUROER.— On Saturday week, at about half- past two o'clock in the afternoon, a most inhuman murder was committed in the village of Stapleton, situated near Bristol, by a wretch named Bartlett, on a respectable female, about the age of 40, named Mary Lewis, resi- dent in Monmouth. It appears that the unfortunate woman was Bartlett's mother- in- law, and that at her death he was to re- receive fifty pounds, which, it is believed, instigated him to com- mit the horrid crime. The parties had called at an inn in the village on the day referred to, and had taken some gin- and- water together. Bartlett was observed to go in and out seveial times, which attracted the notice of several individuals. A short time after, the body was observed by some men lving in a lane not fifty- yards from the Inn. It appears that the villain shot his victim with a pistol in the back part of the head. He bad subsequently escaped, but on Sunday he was taken, he having been so infatuated as to have actually called at the Inn to identify the body. An inquest was held on the deceased, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful mur- der." The accused is a fine looking young man, but a very dissolute character. Having spent all his money, lie was seen with his wife on Friday acting the part of Macbeth at a show, during the fair f t Bristol, September 18. j o h n b u l l. 299 i NAVAL AND MILITARY.

POUTSMOUTH, Sept. 16, 1836.— The Cambridge free- trader, for Ceylon and Bombay, put back to St. Helen's on Saturday, having carried away her cross- jack yard in a squall. Some of her crew, in consequence, fancied the ship had not sufficient sailors in her, and were disposed to quit, notwithstanding they had signed an agreement with the owners, and received two months'wages in advance; but, hearing that seven seamen of the Bolton, who bad a similar fancy, had been carried before the Borough Magistrates, and, on persisting in their refusal to resume work, been convicted in a fine of 40s. each, and, in default, three weeks' recreation on the tread- mill ( which they are now enjoying), the men of the Cambridge went to sea last Tues- day. If the shipowners were to give their crews advance wages by note, payable a week after the ship departs on her voyage, a great deal of roguery might be avoided. The plea advanced of the Cam- bridge being short- handed, was ridiculous. She has nearly 100 sol- diers of the 58th and 61st Regiments going to Ceylon, and they would prefer pulling and hauling to being idle on deck". The Jupiter, Hon. Capt. Grey, ic to be paid o Vat Portsmouth, but has been detained fire days at Spithead by a_ N. E. wind blowing out of the harbour ; there is no King's steamer in the port to tow her in, and the private vessels that ply about are not fitted for such a tug. It is very desirable to have a powerful steam ship permanently attached to the dock- yard, and the detention of the Jupiter ( costiiig'about 301. a day) will no doubt hasten it. Preparations are making for bringing forward a three- deck ship, to relieve the Caledonia in the Mediterranean, Sir J. Rowley's time being up in December. The Princess Charlotte, 104, has been taken into the basin, and will shortly go into dock to be fitted; but it is generally imagined the Britannia, 120, now the flag ship of Admiral Sir P. Durham, in this harbour, will go to sea, and the Princess Char- lotte take her place. The Pique, HOD. Capt. Rous, went to Spithead last Monday; she looked beautiful. Her rival, the Inconstant, has been taken out of the basin, is getting guns and stores on board, aud will follow her in about a fortnight. The sailing trials will be very interesting to naval men. The Conway, 28, was commissioned last Wednesday bv Capt. Drinkwater; the following Officers are appointed to her:—- Lieuts. T. M. Rodney and G. Beadon ; Mr. G. Johnson, Master; Mr. A. Frame', Purser"; Lieut. Tothill, Royal Marines. Mr. Deane, who has within the last three or four years, been suc- cessful in fishing up guns, & c., from the wrecks of the Royal George and Boyne at Spithead, on Thursday put on his diving apparatus in the Gun- wharf at Portsmouth, and descended in a part of the wharf where the gun- hoys load and unload, and astonished a large party of ladies and gentlemen, who traced him walking to and fro by the bub- bling of the water.

We borrow the following article from that most admirably- con- ducted periodical the United Service Journal for the present month:— In our numbers for February and March last we offered some comments on a Court- martial held at Glasgow for the trial of Capt. Clerke, of the 77th Regiment, on charges preferred against liim by Captain Raines of that corps, of which the former officer was ac- quitted. We now give the result, as notified to the parties, of a Court- martial recently held at Mullingar, in which the position of the same officers, as proscutor and prisoner, was reversed. Horse Guards, 9th July, 1836. Sir,— Having had the honour to lay before the King the proceedings of a General Court- martial held at Mullingar, on the 15th day of June, 1836, and continued by adjournments to the 18th of the same month, for the trial of Captain J. R. Raines, of the 77th Regiment, who was arraigned upon the under- mentioned charges, viz:— " 1st. For having, on or about the 23d of November, 1835, at Wigan, addressed a letter to Major Wilson, of the same corps, falsely imputing to Captain William Clerke, of the 77th Regiment, a calum- nious statement, painful to the feelings of the said Major Wilson, and calculated to cause serious consequences between him and the said Cap tain Clerke, the above false inputation being made at a time when Captain Clerke was in arrest, awaiting his Majesty's pleasure on the finding and sentence of a General Court- martial previously held on him, Captain Clerke, at Glasgow, at the prosecution of the said Captain Raines. " 2nd. For having, although long since apprised that Capt. Clerke had denied to Major Wilson that he had ever made the statement so imputed to him by the said Captain Raines, and further, that be, Captain Clerke, had stigmatized Captain Raines's assertion of his, Captain Clerk, having made such statement, as infamous and false,— omitted, up to the present period, to take proper steps, with respect to Captain Clerke, in vindication of his honour, or in refutation ot the strong imputation cast on him by the said Captain Clerke. All such conduct on the part of the said Captain Raines being unbecoming the character of an officer and a gentleman, and highly discreditable to his Majesty's service." Upon wliich charges the Court came to the following decision :— " The Court- martial, having duly considered the evidence given in support of the charges against the prisoner, Captain J. R. Raines, of the 77th Regt., his defence, and the evidence he has adduced, is of opinion that he is guilty of the first charge. " The Court is further of opinion that the prisoner is guilty of the second charge. " The Court- martial adjudges that the prisoner, Captain J. R. Raines, of the 77th Regt., be dismissed from his Majesty's Service. " The Court- martial, taking into its consideration the distressing situation in which the prisoner was placed, and the number of years that he has been in his Majesty's service, during which time he has conducted himself with honour and credit, as appears by the testimony of several officers of rank and distinction to his hitherto irreproachable character, begs leave most earnestly to recommend him to his Majesty's gracious consideration and clemency." I have to acquaint you that whereas the general finding of guilty of the whole of the first charge could not be legally sustained, inasmuch as no evidence was adduced at the trial in support of the allegation, that the imputation was false, of which the form and substance of that charge, in point of law. requires proof, his Majesty was pleased to order that tne Court should be re- assembled for the purpose of revising its finding upon that charge.* I have therefore, in obedience to his Majesty's commands, to return the proceedings, and to desire that the Court may be re- assembled for the purpose of revision accordingly,— I bave, & c. , ( Signed) HILL, General Commanding- in- Chief. Major- Gen. Sir E. Blakeney, K. C. B., & c., Dublin. Horse- Guards, Wth Aug., 1836. Sir,— Having had the honour to lay before the King the revised proceedings of a General Court- martial held at Mullingar, on the 15th day of June, 1836, and continued, by adjournments, to the 18th of the same month, for the trial of Capt. J. R. Raines, of the 77th Regt., together with the decision of the Court, after its re- assembly on the 21st of July following, viz.:— •' The Court- martial having carefully revised the evidence on the first charge, and having also considered the grounds upon which the Court has been ordered to revise their finding on that charge, viz. ' that whereas the general finding of guilty of the whole of the first charge could not be legally sustained, inasmuch as no evidence was adduced at the trial in support of the allegation that the imputation was false, of which the form and substance of that charge, in point of law, requires proof'— The Court, upon the before mentioned grounds, does find that the first charge has not been legally proved. The Court, therefore, reverses its former finding on that charge, and acquits the prisoner of the first charge. The Court having acquitted the prisoner, Capt. J. R. Raines, of the first charge, and having found him guilty of the second charge, adheres to their former sentence, and adjudges that the prisoner, Capt. J. R. Raines, of the 77th Regt., be dismissed from his Majesty's service. " The Court most humbly solicits his Majesty's favourable con- sideration of their former recommendation in behalf of the prisoner." I have to acquaint you, that his Majesty was pleased to approve and confirm the finding and sentence of the Court. In consideration, however, of the earnesst recommendation of the Court, and the very strong testimonials upon which that recom- mendation is founded, his Majesty was pleased to extend bis most gracious pardon to the prisoner, with a view to his being allowed to retire from the service by the s: ile of his commission.— 1 have, & c., ( Signed) HILL, General Coromanding- in- Chief. Major- Gen. Sir. E. Blakeney, K. C. B., & c., Dublin. The following are copies of the correspondence which led to the charges :— Letter from Major Wilson to Captain Clerke, communicating the calumny against him, alleged by Captain Raines :—• " Ilaydock Lodge, 25th Nov., 1835. Sir,— Having received a communication from Captain Raines yes- terday evening, where he states you made use of the following slander against myself and family, namely:—' The precipitate manner in which it is said my marriage was concluded, and the vile insinuations Captain Clerke accompanied the information with.' It leaves me only, at the present stage of the affair, to request your full and down- right denial or affirmation to these extracts now furnished, and with as little possible delay as you can.— 1 have the honour to be, & c. " N. WILSON, Major 77th Foot." " Captain Clerke, Chester Castle.'' Capt. Gierke's answer to Major Wilson, denying Captain Raines' assertions:— " Chester Castle, Nov. 26,1835. " Sir,— In answer to your letter of yesterday, communicating the disgraceful attempt of Captain Raines to vent " his miserable malice against me, by attempting to embroil me with you by making state- ments as ridiculous as they are FALSE and INFAMOUS, and the motives of which are evident to the world, I beg to say that I can safely call upon the officers and their wives of this corps, to attest the terms of respect, and esteem in which I have invariably spoken of yourself and Mrs. Wilson. I cannot, even in the most remote degree, compre- hend the meaning of the pitiful fabrication communicated to you, whether it be the invenlion of the individual himself, or of the unhappy female, who, 1 understand, has been making similar attempts with other families of the corps, but which attempts have been treated as they merited. I beg leave to add, that if it were not for my well- known esteem and respect for yourself and family, I should not deem it necessary to take the slightest notice of any asser- tion made by an individual labouring at present under charges so deeply affecting his veracity and honour. " I have the honour to be, tfec., < fcc., " W. CLERKE, Capt. 77th Regt." " Major Wilson, 77th Regt., Ilaydock Lodge." We have heard of some compliments paid by the Court to Captain Clerke for his conduct on this occasion. If we be not mistaken in this particular, what has become of a tribute so valuable to that officer ? * On a reference to tbe minutes of this trial, and to the practice of Courts martial, we are at a loss to discover a sufficient foundation for the technical objection raised by the Juilge Advocate- General to the finding of the first charge. With due submission to that authority, it strikes us, as it doubtless will others who may peruse the proceedings in this ease, that the evidence adduced by the prosecutor in support of the allegation alluded to, is as full and conclusive as the circumstances in similar cases will admit; while, as to the " law" of the point, it must be recollected that even in civil actions for libel, the onus probandi, or " justification,''' rests with the defendant— here, on the other hand, it is attempted to throw the disproof of the prosecutor, who, quibbling apart, will still be found to have succeeded even in the unusual course here laid down. In courts of honour, of which Courts- martial partake much of the character, the letter of the prose- cutor, solemnly denying the calumny, is tantamount to tbe affidavit of a Court of law, and, by swearing the writer to its truth, might, if desired, have been ren- dered effectively such. On the whole, we are bound to conclude, with due defe- rence to the Judge Advocate- General's dictum, that unless Courts- martial are henceforward to be regulated by Old Bailey practice, the first charge, like the second, is legally as well as morally proved. The ends of justice, however, are satisfied ; and we gladly take leave of the subject.— Ed. of United Service Journal.

The late Captain Sheridan ( whose sudden death we announced lately) was partial to all athletic exercises, particularly to field sports; but his last shooting excursion unfortunately proved a fatal one. A gentleman by whom he was accompanied having fired across him a percussion gun, the copper cap lodged in his eye, by which the sight was destroyed, ana the whole system undermined and poisoned by the presence of the copper. This occasioned a great degree of debility, and on the 29th of August he was suddenly attacked" by a rapid and violent illness, against which he had no strength to contend, and which terminated his existence in two hours' He had not completed his 52d year.

JOHN BULL OFFICE, SEPT. 18, 1836. We have to request the indulgence of our readers for any imper- fections in this day's Number. The suddenness with which the new- arrangement was, at the suggestion of numerous subscribers, adopted, and the consequent impossibility of calculating upon the precise quantity of matter required in the formation of the paper, must plead our excuse for what apears to ourselves a deficiency of that sort of intelligence which we bel ieve to be universally acceptable. Next week these difficulties will be overcome, and we trust no fault will be found with our future exertions. LONDON, SEPTEMBER 18. THEIR MAJESTIES have not yet taken their departure for Brighton.— The KING has been in town twice during the course of the week. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of GLOUCESTER has visited their MAJESTIES. IT becomes our duty to lay before our readers the details of another REVOLUTION, consequent upon the policy of the Right Honourable HENRY JOHN Viscount PALMERSTON, one of his MAJESTY'S principal Secretaries of State, one of his MAJESTY'S Most Honourable Privy Council, a Knight Grand Cross of the Honourable Order of the Bath, and at present Member of Parliament for the independent borough of Tiverton. Facts are facts, and therefore we can do no better than extract, bodily, as our northern friends say, the account of this sudden and important change, from last night's Standard, together with the details which appeared in a second edition of the Times yesterday morning. We do not trouble our readers with a word of comment. Things speak for them- selves:— The Manchester steamer arrived on Friday at Falmouth, bringing the intelligence that the Constitution of 1820 had been proclaimed at Lisbon on the 8th, and at two o'clock the next morning had received the assent of the Queen. We give below ihe particulars, for which we are indebted to a Second Edition of the Times, and a Second Edi- tion of the Morning Post. It was proclaimed by the military, and the Queen had no choice but to consent to their demands. Little tumult took place, and no lives were lost. The Ministry was instantly dis- missed, and Viscount Sa da Bandc- ira and Count Lumiares were commissioned ts form a new one. Those who know the state of ci- vilization in Portugal are well aware that the country is not fitted for a Constitution so essentially democratic as that of 1820; but as it will be found impossible to carry it into practical effect, that is a matter of no importance. In addition to these accounts, we have seen some private letters of the same date, which represent Lisbon in a very excited state, al- though no actual tumult had taken place. SenorCarvalho, one of the late Ministers, had been obliged to take refuge on board a man- of- war ; and it was even said that the Queen contemplated following his example. Extract of a private letter from Lisbon of September 10:—" At day break the guns of the Castle fired a salute, and immediately af- terwards the whole of the City National Guard, together with the troops of the line, assembled with laurel upon their muskets, and de- filed before the Palace. " The Queen, accompanied by the Prince and her royal household appeared at the balcony, and the troops, with the exception of the calvary of the Municipal Guard, who uttered insulting expressions, cheered loudly as they passed the Palace. I cannot say much for the respectability of the leaders of this movement, the two principal persons appearing to be the Deputy Lionel Savarez and Las Mantas. The popular feeling, I lament to say, runs most violently against the late Ministers. Senor Carvalho, in particular, has been denounced by the mob, and he is supposed to be concealed in the. Palace, with the intention of making his escape on board a man- of- war." Another letter, of some hours later date, says—" Lisbon has been all the morning in a very excited state. Great animosity prevails against the late . Ministers. Senor Carvalho has taken refuge on board a man- of- war ; and it is even said that the Queen herself in- tends following his example." ( From the Second Edition of the Times.) " LISBON, Sept. 10, Half- past Eleven, a. m.— The Constifution of 1820 was proclaimed this morning, and agreed to by the Queen, sub- ject to the modification of the Cortes. The Government were taken by surprise, and the troops of the line, upon whom they relied, were the first to side with the National Guard, particularly the 5th Cajadores, of which his Royal Highness Prince Ferdinand is Colonel. The Viscount da Sa da Bandeira, and Count de Lumiares, have re- ceived her Majesty's commands to form the new Ministry, " Symptoms of a disturbance were manifest yesterday, about three, p. m., when the Terceira- steam- boat, from Oporto, bringing the Opposition deputies from the northern provinces was entering the Tagus ; groups of people assembled on the different wharfs, ana as the public were prohibited from letting off rockets, by an edict from the civil governor, dated the 7th instant— evidently done to pre- vent their friends from welcoming them on their arrival— they stationed boats on the river, and did so as the steamer approached. At four p. m., the Representatives landed at the I'raca de Commercio where a large concourse was awaiting them with a band of music, playing the Hymn of 1820, which they preceded in procession, all wearing white hats. Vivas were frequently given, and at intervals, ' Viva a Constituciao de 1820,' was distinctly heard. They passed through to Rua Augusta, followed by the Commandant of the Muni- cipal Guard, when all of a sudden they shouted vivas for the Consti- tution of 1820, and requested the Commandant to do the same, who answered ' Viva a Carta e a Rainha.' An ill- natured fellow, from a window, threw a bottle at him, and the populace began to pelt him with stones. During the affray his horse was stabbed, and he was at last under the necessity of taking to flight to save himself. At sunset the drums of the National Guard beat to arms, some of them assembling in their barracks, and up to 10 o'clock every thing was still without the appearance of a tumult, and it was not until that hour that some secret clubs met, that a revolution was determined upon, which they very quietly carried into effect by drawing up an address to the Queen, couched, I am told, in very respectful language, expressing their loyalty to her person, and pointing out to her that the critical state of the nation demanded the Constitu- tion of 1820, and a total change of the Ministry, which was presented to her Majesty by a deputation composed of an officer chosen from each corps, at the Palace of Necessidades, at four o'clock this morning ( where her Majesty arrived from Cintro last evening), which her Majesty assented to, subject to the modification of the Cortes when they meet. Immediately afterwards Don Thomas de Mello Bryuer, one of the Lords in Waiting, was sent to the Rocio- square, where the National Guards and troops of the line are under arms, waiting the result, then commanded by General George de Avillez ( Viscount de Requego), but liacVbeen during the night by an ex- deputy, Manoel Soaros Caldeira, Colonel of militia, to acquaint him with her Majesty's determination ( when the castle of St. George, and the Portuguese ships of war in the Tagus fired a roval salute), and to request that he would order the soldiers to their respective quarters, but they resolved upon first marching to the palace, where they gave enthusisastic vivas to theiQueen and Constitution of 1820, and peaceably retired. " The Manchester steamer, by which this goes, sails at mid- day. Not a proclamation is yet out, and I fear 1 shall not be able to get you a copy of the address in time for her. " Four o'clock, p. m.— The ftjanchester has been detained until five o'clock ; letters to be put into the bag at fonr, which just affords me a moment to enclose you a hurried translation from the supple- ment to the National ( just out) of the Address, and her Majesty's assent thereto, viz.:— " ' The loyal National Guard and garrison of Lisbon direct them- selves to your Majesty to request you will assent to their votes, and to those iu general of the Portuguese nation, to provide a remedy for the evils by which this magnanimous nation has been unfortunately carried to the brink of the most horrible abyss, which can only be saved by the immediate proclaiming of the Constitution of 1820,. with such modifications as the constituted Cortes may think best. " * And we cannot help beseeching your Majesty to choose a Mi- nistry and Councillors that will promote the well- being of the mag- nanimous Portuguese nation, the Constitutional throne of which your Majesty fills. "' The citizens who liave the honour to address this respectful pe- tition to your Majesty, are fully persuaded that your Majesty wishes nothing so much as the felicity of the Portuguese nation, and anxi- ously await on the spot where they are now stationed, that your Majesty will benignantly accept their request.' " Barracks of the Carmo, Sept. 10.— Her Majesty received the de- putation with that sovereign kindness and benignity that character- ises her; and on being informed of the voice and requests of this loyal people, assented to their prayer, has been pleased to dismiss the Ministry, and charged their Excellencies Viscount de Sa da Ban- deira and Count de Lumiares with the formation of a new one, the latter with the Presidency andportfolio for the War Department, and the former, after being urged by the Queen and his Highness, ac- cepted the portfolio- for the Finance Department. This agreeable news reached the Rocio- square at six_ o'clock this morning, and was received with the greatest demonstrations of joy; the troops imme- diatelp filed oil', and marched to the Necessidades- square, where tliey passed in military array in front of the Palace of their beloved Sovereign, in whose countenance unequivocal signs were depicted, how much she sympathised with the general feeling of the Portuguese. " At twelve o'clock a report having been spread that the Queen was wavering, in consequence of the advice she has subsequently received from her late Ministers, who are at the Palace, all the troops with one accord turned out, and marched to the Campo de Currigne, and from thence to the Necessidades, when the Queen ap- peared at the balconv, and assured them of her good faith, with which they were perfectly satisfied, and have just returned to their quarters again. Not a single life lias been lost in the affair ; in fact, no fighting took place. Colonel Gil Guedes, of the 1st Cavalry, was fired at; his horse was shot under him, and he received a slight con- tusion in his arm while endeavouring to persuade them last night to disperse. " The Tyrian packet, which was to have conveyed the mail of this evening has been detained until to- morrow, eleven p. m., to take the speech from tlie Throne, as the opening of the Cortes was fixed for to- morrow, which, of course, is now nulland void. I hear it will be a difficult matter to form a Ministry ; every person who has been applied to up to the present having refused. " Exchange upon London at 30,57 per milree. The Liverpool steamers arrived yesterday from London and Falmouth, bringing 9,0001. worth of dollars. " I lis Majesty's ship Cornwallis arrived on the 7th from Plymouth, and the Malabar on the 8th." WE have frequently expressed a hope that, amongst ( lie numerous liberal actions of the King of the FRENCH, we should, at no great distance of time, have the gratification of announcing his MAJESTY'S consent to the liberation of the political prisoners at HAM. It is with feelings of sincere pleasure we are enabled to state to- day, that the much wished for termination of their incarceration will not be much longer delayed. A few weeks, perhaps days— nay, it may have already occurred— will not elapse before Prince POLIGNAC will be restoied to liberty. He is, we understand, to proceed under an escort to Amiens, and there to be released from restraint. With his Iligh- ness's feelings and ties it is not difficult to surmise that he will lose no time in returning to England, in which country he has twice married, each of his Princesses being natives of the British Empire. The present Princess is, as it is hardly necessary to inform our readers, sister to Lord RANCLIFFE. short life. Preparations for the flight of the QUEENS have been made, and every precaution taken, for their escape when- ever the great blow shall be struck, which may have been, even while we are writing this. The Carlist forces are draw- ing round the capital, and, as one of the Liberal writers says, " hover round Madrid and its Government like vultures, only waiting for the death of some expiring animal to take possession." In the mean while, an underplot is said to be in progress, the effect of which is to eject the daughter of Madame MUNOS, aud place the Infante Don FRANCISCO on the throne. This Prince, it will be recollected, is married to the sister of Mrs. MUNOZ, and the project of expelling her and her daughter from the throne is said entirely to originate with her affec- tionate relative. We are reminded by a valuable contemporary that it was this exemplary lady who, when King FERDINAND made his will of 1832 iu favour of Don CARLO'S, repaired post haste to La Granja, and meeting CALOMARDE, the Minister to whose advice she attributed her father- in- law's conduct, gave him a violent blow over the nose as he was coming down the stairs of the Palace, and having called him by a name which gentle- men seldom and ladies— at least here— never use in society, she rushed into the KING'S apartment and reproached him with what he had done. Our coutemporary ( the Post) continues thus:— It was by the force of her bullying and intrigues— by the ascen- dency which her temper held over'her sister, then a tim'id woman— and by the aid of the same Count PARSENT that FERDINAND was in- duced to revoke his testament, and that the Count ALCUDIA and CA- LOJIAKDE were expelled the country. We can add, it was by her close observation on the acts of the KING nnd of the QUEEN, by sur- rounding them with creatures of her own will, that she disabled FER- DINAND from taking such advice during the year which he lived after that period as would have opened his eyes to the fatal consequences of his changing the order of the succession. Donna CARLOTA lost no • for the Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA is, as the Espmnol AFFAIRS in Spain are rapidly coming to a crisis. Since our last publication, the KING'S troops have been successful in various conflicts with what are for the present to be called the Constitutionalists. The march of GOMEZ may be consi- dered as a triumphal progress through the country, declara- tory in the most convincing manner of the popularity of the lawful Monarch. Contrasted with this successful progress we have the official despatch of ISIDIO ALAIX, giving an infinity of reasons for having done nothing, and for doing nothing whatever, and consoling himself and her constitutional MAJESTY'S Govern- ment with expressing his opinion as to what GOMEZ thinks. At Madrid the greatest discontents exist. The people can- not be blinded to the popularity of the KING'S cause, or to the absolute incapability of what is still called the Govern- ment, to oppose the will of ( he nation, manifested in the rapid increase of his MAJESTY'S forces, the improvement in their discipline, and the readiness with which they are furnished with supplies of every kind. The Government has revived some of the decrees of the Cortes of 1820 aud 1822, one of which is of considerable im- portance, inasmuch as it abolishes the right of inheritance and entails, by which heretofore the entire property of everybody ( possessing any real property) is held throughout the king- dom. Tenants for life are authorised to dispose of one- half of the property from which their incomes arise, immediately, and after their deaths, their successors are enabled to dispose of the other half unconditionally. No money or property of any kind is to be settled on any establishment, religious or not, in any way which may prevent the sale of that property. Money in foreign funds or commercial shares connot be set- tled; nor can anybody possess an inalienable right to property of any kind or denomination, whether in money or land. The effect of this decree is virtually the destruction of the aristocracy. The head of a noble house is prohibited from maintaining its character and consequence by handing down to his eldest son his patrimonial estates. The equal division of property in the first instance, and the consequences of sucli division iu tlie two next instances, will inevitably destroy the family in three generations, while the Church and its dependent establishment are destined to destruction by the prohibition of pious and charitable bequests, by which, in Spain, religion has always beeu so liberally maintained aud supported. This decree, however, is in all probability destined for a said the other day— uno mero— n< » , dle— after the KING'S death in for- tifying her position, and she managed so well and so adroitly, that a Bill was passed through both Entamentos, cuttiog off Doii CARLOS and his heirs for ever from the throne, and substituting her progeny in case of the death of ISABEL or her little sister during their mino- rity. When these points were established, Donna CARLOTA threw off the mask, her open intriguing for popularity attracted the QUEEN'S attention, and a deadly feud sprung up between the two sis- ters. The Infanta alleged that it was she who had secured the Ihrone for ISABEL. CHRISTINA admitted the fact; hat re- torted that she did so for her own purposes ; and that her ma- chinations were apparent. The Princess POISSARDE shook her fat sides with rage, and set about in good earnest the plan which her sister attributed to her only a little prematurely in point of time. Her apartments at the Palace have been since then a rendezvous for all the excited Liberals of Madrid, and the Conde de PARSENT is lier man of business with those gentry. It is by his artifices that the irri- tation against the QUEEN IS taking a substantive form; and it is through his influence with the democratic press that the idea which we began this article by noticing has been put into circulation, aud made a subject of discussion. It should be observed that the Post, in using tlie word Poissarde, only adopts the designation which her Royal Iligli- ness's royal sister uses whenever her MAJESTY condescends to speak of her Royal Highness. Lord PALMERSTON'S ladies in Spain do as little credit fo his Lordship's taste, as the state of that country at this mo- ment does to his judgment. All that is happening now, would not have happened if Lord PALMERSTON had not en- couraged the Liberals, or rather Revolutionists, with hopes of active co- operation on the part of England and France. His Lordship's influence at the Court of the Tuilerifes has been made signally manifest by the out- kicking of M. THIERS. Lord PALMERSTON has, with his colleagues, been so long permitted to hold office through one uninterrupted career of blunders and absurdities, that his Lordship fancied a KING could not turn out his Ministers. M. THIERS clung to the amiable PALMERSTON, and the amiable PAL- MERSTON encouraged M. THIERS ; and while his Lordship was bolstering up EVANS'S Legion— which from first to last was hateful to the QUEEN'S Government— by converting the Royal Marines into marching regiments, M. THIERS was endeavouring to cajole Louis PHILIPPE into " a demonstra- tion." M. THIERS has been turned out— Lord PALMER- STON remains in. But— and it is with grief and sorrow— we come to the fatal consequences of that silly Nobleman's proceedings in this affair :— But, for the Legion— the British Legion— the British Navy— the British Marines— the British name— the British character, let Lord PALMERSTON read ( lie accounts of the degradation of all these in the details which are here sub- joined; let him read the admission, in his own paid Press, of the utter annihilation and dissolution of this body of British troops, commanded by British officers, enlisted under the sanction of the British Government, and brigaded with the forces of the British MONARCH ; and, if he have one spark of English feeling left, he will blush— he ought to weep— at the results of the petit maitre policy which he lias adopted all through the campaign, and the consequcnccs of that shuf- fling, equivocating conduct, in which from beginning to end he has authoritatively denied the intervention which, to the utmost of his puny powers, he was carrying on. Let his Lordship, we repeat, read what fellows :— St. Sebastian, Sept. 8. The prospects of the Legion, and the state of the weather, are per- fectly oil a parallel, both gloomy and turbulent. There exists, how- ever, one marked difference, the gloom and turbulence of the latter may be dispelled, but no sunshine can change Ihe hue of the former. Discontent, mutiny, and insubordination have too firmly set the seal for anything to erase it. If ihe vessel which is expectedJrom England ( and by- the- by for whose safety there are sad doubts) fails in bringing the requisite supply to pay off six months' arrears to the officers, the result can be anticipated. Longer they will not continue— longer they cannot; their situation is iu truth deplorable, and it is a notorious fact that many have offered to give bills on their paymasters, allowing a discount of 60 per cent., and yet with this usurious offer money cannot be had. What can be thought of any man who could lend the sanction of his niiine, and induce thoughtless indivi- duals to join a cause in which they have been so infamously treated ? On Monday tlie 9th regiment arrived here, having spent six weeks marching nnd counter- marching from San- tander to Santona, and over its bleak hills, in order to assist Espartero; the 8tli would have added to the number, but for the miserable state of the weather, which prevented the steamer from leaving the harbour, nnd has also prevented us from receiving our letters Ton Tuesday last, and now, on Thursday night, they have not reached us. It is talked of here, in consequence of the arrival of these regiments, that an attack is meditated, but. I do not place the least credence on the report. Evans could not, dare not, move with his present force. Why, the man can with difficulty retain his pre- sent lines. The whole fact is simply this— rations would not be given where they were quartered, and this is the reason of their being brought here ; to a still worse place, if possible, for neither men nor horses are fed here. Shaw's place lias been filled up by the appointment of Colonel Fitzgerald; and Colonel Kinloch, upon his departure, has received the honorary title of Brigadier- General, as some compensation for the immense loss of money he sustained by leaving tire Lancer Regi- ment. By the way, these two Regiments of Lancers have dwindled September 18. j o h n b u l l. 301 down to 120 men. The better portion of them you are aware passed over long since to Don Carlos. Colonel Considine, the only effective officer in the department, has resigned. He leaves by the Osprey on Saturday. With regard to the question of finance, involved in this letter, we here are enabled to state that no funds for any sucli payment of arrears went by the " expected vessel." The next communication which we submit, is that to which we beg the special attention of Lord Viscount PALMERSTON and one other person, whom, with all our earnestness of loyalty and anxiety lor the maintenance of the national character, we dare not venture to name. Bayonne, Sept. 6. The French Government being left by Lord Palmerston lo deal a, it pleases with the miserable beings who escaped from the lash at San Sebastian to find food and shelter only in a prison at Bayonne, is pursuing a course which, however just or necessary it may be, consi- dering the circumstances under which these men ( unfortunately still bearing the name of British subjects) were abn ndoned to their charity, is nevertheless deeply to be lamented by all who can feel for tue degradation of the character of Englishmen. A slight sketch of what I saw on my route hither yesterday morning, will perhaps ex- plain the results which the refined Gallic policy exhibited in this affair is calculated to attain. Our diligence was crossing the Landes at sunrise, amidst heavy gusts and thunder showers. The Landes form an immense waste, where hentli, furze, wild mint, and fern, are thinly scattered on a mossy surface, reminding the traveller of the bleakest parts of Conne- mara or Dartmoor, we saw approaching a drove of eight or ten of the most wretched- looking men I ever saw, oil a high road,, destitute of either coats or waistcoats, some without hats, some with ragged wallets, and their weather- beaten and neglected visages ( which appeared to have only been washed by the ruin for the last week, and that very ineffec- tually) presented an expression of debasement that I have not seen equalled even among the poverty- stricken creatures • who annually arrive in crowds from the said outlandish district of the Emerald Isle to reap the harvest of England. Three couple walkedin such uncom- fortable proximity that it appeared to me as if their wrists were joined by something stronger than the tie of boon companionship. The otliers straggled singly, all followed by two well- mounted gen- darmes, comfortably defended from the storm in their heavy cloaks. Our passengers exclaimed with one voice, " t'oila tes Anglais! Another parly of a dozen, similarly clad and attended ( but none walking in couples) were met a mile further on, and a third batch, nearly amounting to twenty, about a mile and a half behind the se- cond." Again and again the passengers exclaimed, " I'oilales An- glais !" It was not of deserters or voyageurs, or ofpauvres miserables they spoke or thought, but of les Anglais. Such will be the impression created in the minds of all who travel on or sojourn near le grand chemin from Bayonne to Calais, not once and away, but thrice of a morning, perhaps, or as long as the French authorities can make this godsend of English abasement last day after day, and dozen after dozen, till they empty their prisons of the 200 heroes of Westminster. What Lord Palmerston can hope to gain for the honour of the British name in the military eyes of La Belle France ( already sufficiently disposed to think lightly of England) by permitting such a parade of all that could by possibility attach to that name of unsoldierly, dishonourable, and contemptible, is more than can well be comprehended. Perhaps he and the British Consul here are entitled to divide the honour of sound policy and good ma- nagement between them. Certainly the exhibinon will not be for- gotten in France for a long time, and, as far as tliis_ country is con- cerned, General Evans may feel assured that his renown is" con- summated. How long is this state of tilings to last ? Since writing the above, it has been generally reported that the blow we had so justly anticipated had fallen, and that the QUEENS had fled. It is most certain that Madrid was in the greatest state of excitement. In addition to fhese reports, intelligence has been received of the signal defeat of General EVANS in an attack upon the Carlist fortifications at Amezaguna, on the 9th inst. This we take to be the last exploit of the British Legion, brigaded with the ltoyal Marines. THE appointment of Colonel MABERLEY to ( he Secretary- ship of the Post- oflice is, we believe, definitively settled. Sir IIENRY FREELING, who was Assistant- Secretary to his late lamented father, succeeds to the Commissionership of Cus- toms, which Colonel MABERLEY vacates. It would have been extremely gratifying to many persons had Sir HENRY FREE- LING succeeded to the Secretaryship, but it seems lo be a very general feeling that the appointment of Colonel MA- BERLEV is a good one. He has shown himself an active and able public officer in the situation lie lias filled, and is uni- versally esteemed in private society. Ilis fault— and it must be owned it is a serious one— is, that he is a Whig; but. nevertheless, to this he owes his appointment. chance of making England a " foot- ball for Papists and Demo- crats— and, as he cannot, th'erefore, have things his own way, he makes his bow and retires. Still we shall be told— but not by Sir WILLIAM MOLES- WORTH— that there is no re- action. We find the following in last night's Standard:— _ We have received the following, under the seal of the United Ser- vice Club; and we publish it precisely as we have received it. We do not give credit to the serious charge against Colonel KENNEDY, whom, from all that we have heard of his character, we should sup- pose much more like to cause to be kicked into the street, any person presuming insolently to dictate to him, than to submit to Mr. O'C'ON- NELI., as this letter says he submitted. However, it is due to Colonel KENNEDY to let him know of what he is accused :—• TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD. Inited Service Club, J'atl Malt, Sept. 16. Sir,— I have just been informed, by a member of this Club, and whose word I ci. nnot for a moment doubt, that imme- diately on Mr. O'Connell's arrival at Dublin, he called on Colonel Sliaw Kennedy, and told him his Secretary, Fur- long, late in a regiment of Dragoons, must be instantly dismissed by him; and on the Colonel's requesting to know the reason, he re- turnedfor answer that that gentleman had opposed him twice, when a candidate for some county or borough, and that he was a Protestant, though that was of little consequence to him. The Secretary was dis- missed. He had left his residence in Brussels just before at a great loss, and was a most excellent officer. Your friends will probably know more about this than I am able to tell you, but I have no doubt of its being a fact. I am, Sir, < fcc., YOUR ADMIRER AND CONSTANT READER. OUR readers will be gladdened this week by the perusal of proceedings at numerous Conservative meetings which have been held in the leading towns of ( he Provinces. We have scarcely left ourselves room to enumerate the places:— South Essex. West Suffolk, East York, North Narthanjpton, Ayles- bury, Canterbury, and Maidstone, have followed the example of South Lancashire, and have sent to the homes of the Pee of England, the ( hanks of ( he people of England, " for ( lie bold stand made in ( heir behalf against the attempts of enemies to their religion and ( heir liberties. There are some points connected with those meetings worthy of all praise: first is ( hat unity of purpose, without which there can be uo success. While the Whig, ( he Whig- Radi- cal, and the ultra- Radical abuse one another in language compared to which that of Billingsgate is courtly, and are ready to cut one another's throats as the surest way to estab- lish popular rights, the Conservatives arc becoming every day more united. They are acting together; and the result must be the constitutional exercise of a Power, against which all the acts of Papists and Republicans shall not prevail. It is gratifying to notice also that a large proportion of the guests at these festivals are of the middle classes— classes which have been foully slandered as being either indifferent or hostile to the faith and principles to establish which ( heir fathers fought and bled. The dinner at Beverley was attended by above 800 guests— many of them were of the aristocracy of ( lie county, but a large proportion consisted of persons not distinguished by station or wealth, but who feel that they too have an interest in the welfare and happiness of England : with such aids, both must be safe. We trust these Festivals, ( so many of which have taken place within a week,) will be followed up by others in all parts of the Kingdom. The Peers will see that they were right when they expressed confidence in ( he people. SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTII is— or rather was— Member for East Cornwall. Helias written a le( ter to his constituents, resigning his seat. And why ? Because a large proportion of Ills former supporters have, as he states, enlisted in the ranks of his opponents ; and he sees no probability of his being again returned to Parliament, in the event of another election. Still we shall be told— but not now by Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH— that there is no re- action." The Cornish Baronet is not one of your pitiful sneaking Radicals— a bully in words and a coward at heart. He tells what he knows; sees that, in his own county at least, the game of Republicanism is up; finds he has no THE " conventional terms," as they are called, of society, in its present state, are very difficult either to understand or appre- cia( e. Of all silly tilings, perhaps, " fighting" about political abuse is the most absurd— and certainly, in a case where one of the parties, if he kill a man, is by no means likely to supply his loss by furnishing the world with another, it would be most absurd of all. We see published in the newspapers a correspondence be- tween that " forlorn hope," Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and Mr. SILK BUCKINGHAM, which we take to be uncommonly amusing. As for Mr. BUCKINGHAM, he rises, like GREEN'S last and largest balloon, and certainly, by his letters, has left upon record the most beautiful specimen of what may be called " giving satisfaction" to a scion of the house of RUS- SELL— of which letters we have ventured to italicise certain passages. CORRESPONDENCEBETWEEN LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND J. S. BUCKINGHAM, ESQ., IN REFERENCE TO AN ADDRESS RECENTLY DELIVERED AT SHEF- FIELD BY MR. BUCKINGHAM. ( No. I.) Tnnbridge Wells, Sept. 3,1S36. Sir,— 1 find in the Standard ! of yesterday a report of some parts of speech said to have been delivered by you at Sheffield. In these extracts, after commenting upon my conduct, after ob- sening that I had combined my influence and power with that of Sir John Hobhouse to seal vour ruin, you are made to observe :— " These were his solemn and reiterated professions, and you 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." I wished to be informed whether you used these u'ords, and whether you mean to apply the words falsehood, baseness, treachery, and cowar- dice to my actions as respects your claim upon the East India Company? or to any part of my conduct with regard to yourself Your humble servant, ( Signed) J. RUSSELL. J. S. Buckingham, Esq., M. P. ( No. II.) Guildford, Sept. 7,1836. My Lord,— As I have ever acted towards you with the fairness and openness becoming the nature of the intercourse that so long subsisted between us, I shall continue the same course to the end, whether observed by others or not; and in this spirit 1 feel it my duty to forward you a copy of the address recently delivered by me to my constituents at Sheffield. I wish it had been in my power, both for your sake and for my own, to have spoken differently of the late proceedings in the House of Com - morts. on the subject of my claims. But truth demanded of me the exposition I have given. It was not necessary to say more, but I could not consent to say less ; and if it gives you pain, be assured that 1 regret the cause of this pain as much as yourself.— I am, my Lord, your most obedient servant, ( Signed) J. S. BUCKINGHAM. The Right Hon. Lord John Russell. ( No. III.) White Hart Hotel! Guildford, Sept. 8, 1830. My Lord,— Your letter of the 3d instant, dated from Tunbridge- wells, having been addressed to me at Sheffield, from thence re- directed to London, and from thence forwarded here, has only just reached me by this morning's post. 1 have partly anticipated your Lordship's wishes by having sent you yesterday trom this place a let ter and authen tic copy of trie speech made by me to my constituents oil the 29th lilt. The extract given in the Standard, to which your Lordship refers , will be found, I believe, to correspond accurately with the printed version of the whole speech already in your hands. I do not wish to shrink, therefore, from the fullest responsibility for whatever that speech may contain, as conveying my deliberate convictions, after the most mature judgment, that I could give to the subjects of it. In reply to your Lordship's second question, whether I meant " to apply the terms falsehood, baseness, treachery, and cowardice," to your Lordship's actions, as respects my claim upon the East India Company, or to any part of your Lordship's conduct with regard to myself, I beg to state that I did not apply these terms to either; as a reference to the passage itself will show that I there asserted what I now repeat, that the contrast between those qualities and their direct opposites, was not, and could not, be greater than between the words and actions of the parties nam d ; and having stated what those words and what those actions were, I left those to whom I addressed myself to judge for themselves whether the contrast was not, as I described it, as great as between any things the most opposite that could be named. The whole tenor of my address was, however, a comment on the public conduct of public men, in the various public transactions of the session; and whatever that address contained had reference to such public conduct alone. Your Lordship's public professions and publicly declared opinions on the conduct of the East India Company towards me, and your publicly declared conviction of the justice of my claims, was therefore, in this address, contrasted with your conduct as leader of the House of Commons, when a mere repetition of the same senti- ments from your pluce in Parliament would have obtained the support of the House of Commons in their favour while your silence ami your absence were fatal to my cause. If your Lordship is able to justify this conduct in the eyes of the country, to whom my appeal is now- made, 1 shall be happy to afford every facility for" such justification, by attending any meeting for that purpose which your Lordship may appoint. Of your personal honour and integrity in any private transaction, as between one gentleman and another, I hate never entertained nor expressed a doubt, any more than 1 have of the personal honour and integrity of the Governors and Directors of the East India Com- pany, by whom 1 have been plundered and ruined; for such ' is the conventional standard of morality, that these private and personal virtues are frequently found to co- exist WITH THE ENTIRE ABSENCE OF ALL PUPLIC PRINCIPLE IN rUBLIC MEN. But on public grounds, and on public grounds alone, I must still take leave to repeat, that the contrast between the public conduct of your Lordship as a Member of the Whig Opposition of 1824 and 1826, and the public conduct of your Lordship as a Member of the Whig Government and leader ot the House of Commons in 1836, on the subject of my claims on the East India Company for that compensa- tion which " the Select Committee, of which your Lordship was a member, unanimously declared to be justly due to m e— appears to me to be as great as between day and night, or between any other two things the most opjmsite lo cac/ i other that can be named.— I am, my Lord, your most obedient servant, ( Signed.) J. S. BUCKINGHAM. The Right Hon. Lord John Itussell, M. P., & c. die, & c. ( No. IV.) Tunbridge Wells, Sept. 10,1836. Sir,— I have received yesterday and to- day your letters of the 7th and 8th instant. It is satisfactory to me to find that you did not mean to cast any imputations on my personal honour ami integrity. 1 can make allowance for the irritated feelings which the losses and disappointments you have sustained may have excited; but I must add, thattruth," which you say demanded of you the exposition you have given, ought to have demanded of you not to omit other facts, which would have materially altered the case you have so elaborately endeavoured to make out against me. It is not my wish, however, to a/ ipeal to any public meeting on this subject, nor do I now think it necessary to say more than that 1 shall be ready to defend my conduct in Parliament whenever it shall be called in question.— I am, Sir, your humble servant, ( Signed) J. RUSSELL. J. S. Buckingham, Esq., M. P. The next letter concludes the correspondence:— ( No. V.) MR. BUCKINGHAM TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. Salisbury, Sept. 13,1836. My Lord— I have just received your letter of the 10th inst., addressed to me at Guildford, and forwarded to me here. I have been accustomed for so many years past to think and speak of your Lordship in terms of eulogy and approbation— because I believed you were really at heart the sincere friend of that liberty and justice which you advocated with your lips— that it was with the greatest possible reluctance 1 was compelled, by the force of conviction, to change the tone of eulogy for one of reproach; and I can assure you, with the utmost sincerity, that even now, after all the bitterness of disappointment in which you have caused my hopes to terminate, it would give me far more" pleasure to be able to speak of you with praise than with censure, it was, therefore, " more in sorrow than m anger" that my appeal to my constituents was made ; and it was in the same feeling that 1 entered upon this correspondence. As your Lordship intimates to me, in a posisciipt, your intention to publish the letters that have passed between us, I may state that I have not the slightest objection to this course, and am quite willing lo leave the verdict on it in the hands of the British public. Inclosing our correspondence, therefore, for the present at least, with this brief reply, I may add, that when your Lordship intimates the existence of some facts which would have materially altered the view of the case, and asserts that 1 have kept tkese back from public view, you seem to wish it to be understood that 1 am cognizant of such facts, and that I studiously conceal or suppress them. If this be the impression which you desire the public lo receive from your expressions, I must declare, in the most solemn manner, that I know of uo single fact that can in the slightest degree cither justify or extenuate your public con- duct in the matter between us. if I did, I would willingly make it known; but my own retrospective view of the case revives in my recollection many facts, that, if made generally known, would aggra- vate rather than soften the cruelty of the treatment 1 have received. There were two public opportunities presented to your Lordship in the House of Commons, on the two separate debates on my claims, in which you might have publicly stated these facts, in justification of your desertion of a cause you had once so warmly espoused; but you did not embrace either of these occasions for so doing. A third opportunity has been presented to you by this correspondence, when, instead of hinting at the facts, and intimating their suppression, it was open to you to have made them public yourself. And a fourth opportunity was otTered to you in the public meeting proposed by me for that purpose, and this has been rejected. Upon all this the public will firm their own judgment, without waiting until the Parliament shall meet; for whatever may be said then can be as effectually said now, and probably more so, as I do not know any shape in which the House could be made to entertain a question of personal difference between two of its Members unless it were to be brought forward as a breach of privilege, charging the Noble Leader of the House of Commons with sending a letter to a Mem- ber whom he had injured, with a view to provoke him to fight a duel; for in this, of course, it must have been intended by you that the affair should terminate, if your personal honour and integrity had not, by a NICE DISTINCTION, been separated from your public and Parliament- ary abandonment of principle. i am glad that the explanation which 1 could conscientiously give of the meaning and intent of my expressions was such as to satisfy your Lordship that there was no necessity to follow up your letter by a challenge— because I should have unhesitatingly declined to accept it; and I may now say so, perhaps, with greater propriety than I could have done at an earlier stage of this correspondence. 1 have had to peril my life too often, and in too many shapes ( duel, I am ashamed to say, among the number, though in defence of that liberty of the press in fndia tor my attachment to which I am still a sufferer), to permit any one to doubt my want of courage on all fit and proper occasions. " But this was not one in which it was either worth your Lordship's while to ask me to attempt the destruction of your life, or worth my while to put it, in your Lordship's power to take away my own. I am sure it would embitter my future days if [ could be tempted to imbrue my hands in your blood ; and I still think much better of you than to suppose for a moment that it would be otherwise than " deeply painful lo you to be the hostile shedder of mine ; and yet, if this were not to be risked on both sides, our going out to fight a duel, in order lo determine whether your Lordship had or not acted inconsistently— in advocating at one time what you had de- serted at another— would be an idle ceremony, only fit for ridicule. f wisli your Lordship to live for many years, that you may have an opportunity of retracing your steps anil retrieving your errors in much more important questions than my individual wrongs, great as I feel them to be; and I desire myself to live, in order that, if I cannot make my oppressors give back the property of which they have plun- dered my children as well as myself, 1 may devote the remainder of my days to useful and honourable labour, for the purpose of leaving them some other legacy besides an injured, yet an unstained, name. For these reasons, I shall not lightly trifle with that precious gift which God alone can give, and wliichit is impious in man to attempt to destroy ; and while I shall endeavour to keep my hands pure from the blood of others, I will not willingly tempt any men— and more especially those who have already injured me— to add the guilt of murder to the other wrongs for which they will yet, in another and a j nster world, have one day to answer and to atone. As I am anxious that this should reach your Lordship without delay, that it may be added to the correspondence . you are about to publish, I close it" thus abruptly; and am your Lordship^ humble servant, BUCKINGHAM. To the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M. P. This correspondence must be infinitely agreeable to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who is perfectly satisfied at having his nose rubbed in the mud as a Minister, provided Mr. BUCKING- HAM does not mean to impugn his Lordship's personal honour or integrity, which, as Mr. BUCKINGHAM says, " his Lord- ship has by a nice distinction separatetl from his public and Parliamentary abandonment of principle." To the country at large it appears to us that the public conduct of Lord JOHN RUSSELL is all that can be interesting in the slightest degree. His Lordship's private concerns nobody cares about.' Mr. BUCKINGHAM talks of his public conduct, his tergiversation, the meanness evinced not only by him but by Sir HOBHOUSE when they avowed a determina- tion to support his claims against Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Go- vernment, and an equally strong resolution ( o throw him overboard when they became Sancho- like Governors in their turn. This is what Mr. BUCKINGHAM complains of— this public and Parliamentary abandonment of principle. It is by the public and Parliamentary conduct of Ministers that the destinies, the honour, and fate of ( he country are to be regulated and decided; and yet this Minister of the Crown and leader of the House of Commons, paid and maintained by the country for his services, professes himself perfectly indifferent to all impeachments of his public and official con- duct, provided his personal honour and integrity are not im- pugned. This reminds us of a story which we faintly recollect, of 296 j o h n b u l l September 18. some Bishop, who, by virtue of that most " convenient reli- gion," as MOTHER COLE calls it, was at once a Prelate and General, who, pleading his sanctity in the one character as a set- oft" to his excesses in the other, was replied to by the in- nocent inquiry of a hard- headed peasant— What, if the devil fetched away the Bishop, would become of the General ? However, Lord JOHN is, because Mr. SILK BUCKINGHAM allows it, a worthy little creature in private life ; but as Lord JOHN, little as he is, admits in his first letter, much to our satis- faction, that he leads the Standard— although, according to HOGARTH'S pictorial joke, his Lordship is very much under it — he must have also read that, which we have great pleasure in transferring from its valuable columns, with regard to the registration of voters for Middlesex ; and we think the small Lord will look even smaller than he is, when, having ad- mitted that he does read the Standard, he must par consequence admit that he has read the following exposure of what we have no hesitation in denouncing as the most ridiculously glaring attempt at jobbery that even Whiggery ever tried to effect, and which we extract— specially— from the Standard, although originally addressed to the Times:— « AVE ARE SEVEN." TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Great Coram- street, Sept. 10. Sir,— On the county list for this year's registration the " persons objected to," as regards this parish, are ten in number; and seven of them are of one name and family. I beg to present them to you, as they stand posted on all the doors and door- posts of all the Churches in the pariah. Persons objected to:— Francis Russell, Marquess of Tavistock! John Russell, Lord!! William Russell, Lord!! 1 Charles James Russell, Lord!!!! Edward Russell, Lord !!!!! George Russell, Lord!!!!!! Wriothesley Russell, Lord!!!!!!! The most Noble Marquess's " qualification" is, a counting- house, apparently of but two rooms, built in a dead wall in Montague- street, and designated on its door, " The Bedford Office." Lord Little John's is " 40s. worth of a tenement in Great Russell- street." The whole house is probably worth 801. a- year; and this modicum, namely, one- fortieth part, seems accurately enough pro- portioned to his Lordship's other qualifications. If he did this him- self, he has made more progress in the towHi a- to- urov than would gene- rally be supposed; we, therefore, need not even yet despair of seeing him— resign. My Lord William's " place of abode" is— what think you ? " The Castle Hotel, Richmond, Surrey;" which may be your place of abode, or mine, or aDy body's, any day in the year for half- a- dozen shillings. I shall say nothing about this barefaced and wholesale fabrication of rotes, resorted to, for their personal advantage, by the very fra- mers of a law of electoral " reform;" nor of the fidelity with which the party, which these very seven may elevate into a majority, would represent the political sentiments of Bloomsbury; I will only say, that but for these noble interlopers, I am sure there could not have been found seven " objectionable" persons, in one family, in the whole parish.— I am, Sir, yours faithfully, BLOOMSBURIENSIS. IIow these unfortunate Noble Lords are to show their faces after this display of mock qualifications— after the convicted exposures of the county registers, and all the rest of it, recol- lecting the office that this Lord JOHN RUSSELL holds, and for charges of misconduct in which, so as they do not touch his pri- vate honour and integrity he does not care— we do not under- stand ; but, as if it were not sufficient for all these Lordlings to endeavour to place themselves ou the Registry, we find still existing on it the name of Lord TAVISTOCK, who has, by the benevoleuceofliis younger brother, been called up to the House of Lords, and who, by keeping himself on the Register, vindi- cates and advocates in liis own person, the right of a Peer's in- terference iu the election of Member of the House of Com- mons, a declaration of Liberal opinion in the uncle of the Reform Bill only equalled by that of his Grace the Duke of NORFOLK, who, if we are not misinformed, actually voted at the last general election for some place where he had the ordinary qualification. Mil. LISTER, the accomplished author of Granby, who is appointed Registrar- General of Births, Marriages, and Deaths in England, has circulated a letter written at the Home Office, to which lie has appended his signature, describ- ing how, and in what manner the districts are to be divided, and the registries kept. Mr. LISTER'S somnolent gentleness, which renders him negatively but universally popular, might not appear at first sight exactly the best qualification for an office so active as this, but it should be remembered that he is the half- brother of Lady JOHN RUSSELL. This accounts satisfactorily— at least to themselves— for the appointment, MANY of our correspondents, both our country subscribers, and also those in town, have written to us, touching the ex- traordinary total silence, in " the KING'S Speech" conclusive of the Session, respecting the interests of agriculture. When his MAJESTY opened the Session, his Ministers put into the ROYAL mouth, much about the distress of agricul- ture, and the great relief they would afford. What have they ( lone?— NOTHING 1 Yet, after all their parade and pretence, their " loud cry and no wool," they have the unexampled assurance to close Parliament with the mockery of solemn silence, as regards the Landed interests, at the moment of the harvest moon itself, at the very time that they saw— " Plump CERES golden tresses wear. And poppy top- knots deck her hair!" By way of parenthesis, we may observe that our lovely ladies are now adorning their heads with poppy- buds; in compliment to the sleepy Lord PALMERSTON— and flip lively Lord GLENEIG. But, what matters it, what our Belles may patronise, or what GREEN in his fine Ode to Contentment may praise : our blessed Ministry are all, either votaries of the active voluptuousness of pleasure ; or the passive luxury of ease; and what, to such delicate and delicious gentlemen, can signify the situation of the hardy and laborious occupa- tion of the tillers of the land ? The total neglect— or, if possible, worse than total neglect— the insolent and heartless trifling; the arrogant humbug, of holding out at the beginning of the Session deceptive promises of relief, then darkening and disappointing the prospect as the Session advances, and, finally, denying anil withholding any re- alization whatever till its close; and not only doing that, but not so much as saying even a word in apology for the insult and deceit; seem to be visitations upon the agricultural commu- nity, for the suicidal folly, nay madness, committed by some of its members, in giviug their support to the most injurious and ruinous fraud ever practised upon a free country— we mean " REFORM." But the landed interests, like every other interest in the kingdom, are now pretty well aware that the real motive for that superlative and abominable fraudulency, was neither more nor less than the personal lucre of its advocates aud intro- ducers, to the cost and at the expense of every interest in the country, save that of place to their own mercenary selves. The remission of the duty upon dogs with deficient tails— a relief said to be originally and feelingly recommended by Lord JOHN RUSSELL himself;— the reduction of the tax upon tiles;— and the impudent rejection— immediately after a " KING'S Speech" intimating agricultural redress— of the very moderate motion of that true friend of the fanner, Lord CHANDOS, last May, by a majority of but 36— that showing that the real sense of even this " Reformed" House was with his Lordship, and against the Ministers, but that these " Re- formadoei"—-( what a very humbug the word even sounds), free and independent as they profess to be, were obliged, like school- boys to " follow their leader." What a leader!— " TEUCRO duce, et auspice TEUCRO 1" Lord JOHN RUSSELL, " the Mite''''— These are the benefits to agriculture from " Reform! !" But, lias any other interest profitted? We believe— and we say so from the bottom of our hearts— we are sure— and we speak from the best, the most accurate, the most extensive information— that, like agriculture, every interest has been wofully hurt and depressed; in short, that the nation inte- grally has been impeded and dejected iu its health, energy, cordiality, respectability, and prosperity, by the mortifying festerings of rank aud rancid Radicalism. The lauded community, and all the interests of this mighty empire, will lay up iu their recollections the things we have pointed out; and they will think upon them: and when the time for action comes— as come it will, and come it must— knowing their duty, they will do their duty to their COUNTRY, their KING, and their " FAITH— by doing their duty to THEM- SELVES. ON Sunday last we called the public attention to that, which we believed to be au erroneous and libellous allegation, made in the provincial papers against the Rev, Dr. BUCKLAND, who was in those journals represented as having boasted that some modern Hebrew scholars had discovered certain ERRORS in the HOLY BIBLE, or at least, in all former translations of the sacred volume, which, iu order to accommodate the Holy Scriptures to the quackery of modern Geology aud Zoology, were to be hereafter adopted by those who are weak and foolish enough to believe the Word of GOD in preference to the speculations of the opinions of the five thousand two hundred and eighty- nine ladies and gentlemen of science who were congregated at Bristol. We have received so many letters upon this subject in connexion with the publication of the Bridgewaler Trea- tise, that we feel it our duty to postpone our further remarks till next week ; for the present we satisfy our- selves by submitting the following letter and remarks from the Standard, and by observing that Dr. BUCKLAND'S alleged remarks upon the overthrow of the Bible was made after dinner-— which circumstance, if it had not, as it is not likely it should have had, any effect upon the spirits of the lecturer, may account for the vociferous cheer- ing which it is stated lasted for several minutes among the " jolly companions every one," who testified their rapture at the triumph of Geology over Theology. We wish the two thousand nine hundred and seventy- five ladies and gentle- men of science joy of their intelligence. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STANDARD. Sir,— I saw, a few days ago, in your paper, a paragraph, stating that Dr. Buckland had said, at one of the meetings of the Bristol Association, that the earth must be millions of years old; and that the best Hebrew scholars allowed that the first verse of Genesis gave the sense of an indefinite existence of the earth before the existence of man. Now, Sir; I not merely disagree with this extravagant notion of the geologists, as a matter of science, but with the allow- ance of those " best Hebrew scholars," as a matter of philology. The palpable bearing of the Mosaic account of the creation is, that it was completed within six days— six mornings and evenings— six daily revolutions of the sun; which revolutions we have not the slightest physical reason to conceive different from their length of the present term. If there be, let it be shown. The first chapter of Genesis, in its first verse, says, that in " tliebegin- ning God created the Heaven and the Earth;" the earth being first formeil in a rude state, without light, vegetation, or animal life on its surface. The sacred historian then proceeding through the detail of its furnishing, says, that all was finished by the end of the sixth day: —•" Thus the heavens and the earth viere'finished and all the host of them." The Creation being thus completed in all its forms of life, God hallowed a seventh day as a Sabbath. It is said also, that the " Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters in the beginning." Are we to conceive that the Divine Spirit moved thus upon an inanimate globe for millions of years ! But has Dr. Buckland, who is a Clergyman, forgotten the Book of Exodus, where, by a higher than human writing, it is declared that " In six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is?" Whatpossible ambiguity is here? ' l'hisis thelanguage of the Godhead. But the geologists tell us, that the structure of the minerals, & c., absolutely requires a pre- existence of millions of years. Vet how little do we know of the actual processes by which these minerals are produced. IIow many thousand years, says one. of those wise per- sons, must it have taken to produce a Bristol pebble of half an inch in diameter? Yet, within these few days, we see at that verv meeting an apparatus announced which, by the simplest use of the galvanic electricity, makes all kinds of crystals in a week, and promises even to make precious stones! " It would take a million of years," says another sage, " to make a pound of iron stone." Yet this process shows, at least, the first steps to theformation of metals; and though in all the imperfection of anew experiment, by a mere casual opera- tor, proposes at no distant period to reduce the power of forming the metals to a simple operation of the laboratory. The plain truth is, that geology is so utterly in its infant state of observation, and chemistry still so ignorant of the great agencies of nature, that it is mere folly to assume any fact, whether contradictory to Scripture, or otherwise, upon the authority of either. Before the deposition of the strata, or the formation of granite, as supposed to require a long series of years, can be taken for the ground of an infidel theory, the theorist must be prepared to show, that there is no existing agent in na- ture by wliich either the one or the other could not possibly be produced within any fortnight since tlie creation. It would, threfore, become the Dr. Bucklands of our day to be more logical in their expressions, more philosophical in their theories, and more respectful to the inspiration of God, even in the loudest applauses of the trillers of a holiday at the Lecture Room at Bristol.— I am, Sir, yours, A READER OF THE BIBLE. We do not know what the best Hebrew scholars may have done for Dr. Buckland's views; but we do know that philology ought to do nothing in the matter. Whether the word translated " create " be derived from the word which signifies " to cut" and shape," or from that which indicates the paternal relation; in either case it is a word of human conception, and, therefore, inadequate to represent an act of Omnipotence, inconceivable by man. Whether language was imparted by the Almighty, in sufficient fulness to ensure a faith- ful record of his greatest known work; or otherwise, makes no dif- ference ; for, though man had received the language perfect, lie would necessarily lower it to his own perceptions and use. The Greeks had no word synonymous with Creation, aud the Latin word from which we derive our form of expression is supposed to be bor- rowed from the mystic name of the God Janus, who was called Kerus ; and this word Kerus may be fairly enough traced to the Syriac synonyme of Creation. The following is Robertson's note upon the disputed phrase; for the rest, we leave Dr. Buckland in the hand of our correspondent until we see his repi>':— " Usus est hie Moses verbo, quo nullum potentius in toto ambitu lingiue reperiebatur.] Vox N" a turn infinitum opus creationis, turn solertiam artificii, in mundo condendo, vividissimis coloribus pingit. 1 Quandoquidem in hoc continetur quicquid ens habet potentissimum. Vis hujus vocis apparet ex Jes. xlni. 7. ubi triasynonima junguntur: vn* ra creavi eum, 1TO finxi eum, vrTTO effeci eum; ubi is* finxit, idem ac apud GraDcos, notat.

Heb.) dic. it hiec vis prima verbi esse yidetur. Inde creare, producere, conder, gent em. A correspondent lias favoured us with a quotation from COWPER, which seems somewhat " germane to the matter" of the Rev. Doctor's theory of Geology versus Theology:— Some drill and bore The solid earth, and from the strata there Extract a register, by which we learn, That He who made it, and revealed its date To Moses, was mistaken in its age. Some, more acute, and more industrious still, Contrive creation; travel Nature up To the sharp peak of her sublimest height, And tell ns whence the stars ; why some are fixed, And planetary some j what gave them first Rotation, from what fountain flow'd their light. Great contest follows, and much learned dust Involves the combatants ; each claiming truth, And truth disclaiming both. And thus they spend The little wick of life's jtoor shallow lamp In playing tricks with Nature, giving laws To distant worlds, and trifling in their own. Is't not a pity now that trickling streams Should ever tease the lungs, and blear the sight Of oracles like these ? Great pity, too, That having wielded the elements, and built A thousand systems, each in his own way, They should go out in fume and be forgot ? Ah! what is life thus spent ? and what are they But frantic, who thus spend it, all for smoke ? Eternity for bubbles proves at last A senseless bargain. When I see such games Play'd by the creatures of a Power, who swears THAT HE WILL JUDGE THE EARTH, AND CALL THE FOOL To A SHARP RECKONING THAT HAS LIVED IN VAIN ; And when I weigh this seeming wisdom well, And prove it in the infallible result, So hollow and so false, J feel my heart Dissolve in pity, and account the learn'd, If this be learning, most of all deceived. Great crimes alarm the conscience, but it sleeps While thoughtful man is plausibly amused. Defend me, therefore, common sense, say I, From reveries so airy, from the toil Of dropping buckets into empty wells, And growing old in drawing nothing up. COWTER'S Task. Book III. The Printer's Devil suggests that for BUCKETS we ought to rend BUCKLANDS. That, however, is the Devil's business, not ours. WE are indebted for the following to a valued correspon- dent. It would have been more seasonable a fewweeks ago— the fault of delay is, however, our own:— EQUITY. " Since PINDAR sang horse- eliariots, what should hinder Ourselves from being as pliable as PINDAR R" For some years past, we have occasionally requested the attention of our readers— as they may remember— to the de- clining quality of horses in this country ; and endeavoured to induce English noblemen and gentlemen to discountenance, and put a stop to, the importation of bad, aud still more the exportation of good horses ; and to give encouragement to the improvement of the breed, if not to restore it to its former excellence. It is uow our far pleasanter duty to acknowledge that we think, our humble efforts have not been entirely unavailing. At least, tlie display of equipages this season has shown more tendency towards an approach to the superiority of former days, than any we have seen since the death of the late KING. Though curious, it is the fact—- '" Tis strange— but true; for truth is always strange !"— that the great progressive falling- oil'in carriages and horses, commenced, proceeded, waned, and seems to have ended, contemporaneously with the phreusy about Reform. That insanity having at length yielded to the hellebore of time, lords, ladies, and gentlemen are no longer pestering them- selves about Schedule A, and Schedule B, and the new Cock- ney boroughs, and the ten- pound householding franchise, and ( he grand, little, penny, poppet, puppet showman himself, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and all the rest of the mischievous absurdities, and queer " galanti- show" people; but have got back into their sober senses, and with them into their barouches, coaches, chariots, and vis- a- vis, and begun talking, as usual, about the colour, and thinking about the shape and make, both of the animals and the vehicles. Looking at the matter more in a national than a fashionable light, we rejoice that our noble and elegant contemporaries have so far returned to the good customs of their forefathers : for— with, of course, the exception of the preservation of " the species"— of excellence in the men, and beauty in the women — the latter, beyond all comparison, first and foremost— there is, we think, nothing of much more importance to England, than the maintenance of the immemorial superiority of its breed of horses. To particularise. Amongst the first— " Among the first— I will not say the first, _ For such precedence, upon such occasions, Will often times make deadly quarrels burst Out between friends!" Among the first, then, is the chariot of Earl IIoWE : yellow, picked- out black, brown liammercloth and liveries, hind and front standards, under- springs, arms and supporters blazoned and mantled ; horses bright bay, a little white about their faces and fetlccks, swish tails, 15 3, or 16 hands high, grand frame aud action. To see this equipage go down Curzon- street. or Hill- street, from Curzon- house for the House of Lords, is delightful; the action of the horses and the " play" of the carriage are perfectly harmonious. They much remind us of the chariot and horses of the late KING, when Prince of WALES. From the pole- hook to the step of the hind stand- ards, Lord HOWE'S is one of the purest and most perfect specimens of an English Nobleman's equipage. The Earl of WESTMORELAND'S chariot ( this, also, by " LEADER," of Liquorpond- street, which house supports its old fame)— black, picked- out green, with white pencil- ling, dark green hammercloth and liveries, double standards, j o h n b u l l. 303 splendid armorial bearings, & c.— is a very elegant carriage, aud admirably built. Its rapid and perpetual motion proves the good workmanship, materials, aud principles, with, of, and upon which it is made ; but the same criterion rather contributes to keep somewhat " worked" the brown horses, which are fine, quick animals, and otherwise would look all that could be desired. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE'S chariot— brown and pale blue ( the liammercloth the latter colour), arms richly dis- played on the pannels, horses, bay, of excellent symmetry and action ; and the Marquess of II ERTFORD'S green chariot, the body striped horizontally with darker green and black, the carriage picked- out black, the arms ou the " rail," the hain- mercloth dark green, embroidered with coronet, & c., the horses very handsome, high couraged, bays;— are two tho- roughly English and aristocratic- looking equipages. The young Marquess of ABERCORN has launched a beau- tiful set- out, worthy of a nobleman of his rank, wealth, and age. A chariot— rather pale maroon, relieved with drab ; light grey horses, compactly built, well- shaped, fast and clean steppers ; hanmiercloth and rosettes ornamented with yellow; harness mounted with silver; liveries crimson and yellow, with silver lace. 11 appears that we ought ( o have given the ladies the pits. But all we now can do, is to place them here, and beg ten thou- sand pardons. The vis- a- vis of the Marchioness of LONDON- DERRY— A very elegant yellow, high ( swish tail) grey horses, blue and yellow liammercloth and liveries, silver lace and mountings, arms richly emblazoned— displays much chaste taste. For this kind of carriage, the present greys are appro- priate ; but for general carriages we prefer, as having more mould" ( now so scarce), the very fine bays the Marquess had after his return from the embassy at Vienna. Lady JERSEY'S olive- green vis- a- vis, with tall brown horses, is a carriage ofmuch distinction. The broad- chested, short- legged, old English looking ( brown) horses which ran in her Ladyship's chariot, have, we fear, seen their day; for we have not seen them for many a day! Their fine, fat, rosy- faced, jolly coachman we are happy to see still in full feather. lie wants but the " ivy" to look like BACCHUS himself. Whenever he goes, he will be more difficult to match, even than his dear, departed, old horses— good as they were. The dark purple vis- a- vis, with red wheels, & c., of the Countess of CHESTERFIELD, is well built and elegantly appointed. The horses, brown- bays, are remarkably tall and rather long, but suited to a'carriage of this description. Her Ladyship's light open carriage, of the same colour, is drawn by the best- shaped, best- actioned, and best- paced, " docked, cropped, and hogged" bay horses, that have appeared in town for some years. It is impossible to find a fault with the green aud cane phaeton, and light dun, full- maned, long- tailed ponies, of the Countess of WILTON. They are very like what, many years since, the late Lady ABERGAVENNY drove, which some of our oldest fashionables may yet recollect admiring. The phaeton is extremely chaste and elegant; the ponies are com plete Carriage horses in minature; shape, pace, strength, action, courage, temper; they have not a defect. Lady CHESTERFIELD'S phaeton has blood ponies, with turf tails. They are bays and slighter. Both equipages arc beautiful. The Marquess of CONYNGHAM'S dark brown carriages, and bright bay horses, are every way worthy of imitation The horses particularly fine. His Lordship's greys we do not like so well. Lord GWYDYR lias some of the handsomest carriage horses in London : dark and light chesnuts, bays, browns, and roans ; all excellent; a dark chesnut especially, and looks Splendid in his Lordship's yellow chariot,— which, however, " runs rather heavy." Lord WHARNCLIFFE, iu his yellow family coach, drives several of the truest old English coach- horses, we now see. His Lordship is not particular to colour: white, brown, bay, chesnut, and grey. A bay- brown is, perhaps, most of" the old stamp." Mr. STUART WORTLEY lias a pair of light chesnut, and two or three other ( one flea- bitten white) extremely fine and fast britcliska horses. Some of our favourite equipages have lately cscaped our observation. We miss— at least in the style of splendour of his Grosvenor- squareisli days— Mr. GEORGE LANE FOX'S elegant dark maroon chariot, picked out drab, pale drab liveries, faced with crimson, liammercloth the same, broad silver lace and silver mountings; and the most com- plete thorough old English carriage horses ( Yorkshire, we suppose), very dark, full- framed, short- legged, small headed, fast, grand- stepping chesnuts, with some white, and short, full, old fashioned swish tails. Such horses are, unfortunately, not to be found now. This striking set- out attracted the attention of Mr. CANNING, who said it had a peculiar charm, which he could not describe— if he could not, how can we ?— who from politics could snatch a moment for " Equity," and whose classical fancy— why we cannot conceive— whenever he met tliis carriage, used, quoting SPENSER, to declare that it— " Like tbe great eye of beaven, shining bright, Could make a sunshine in a shady place!" Wc also miss the rich yellow family coach of the Earl of ABERGAVENNY, with very large brownish bay horses, very handsome, but so little worked, and so fat, that they " lathered," in getting the carriage round from the south east end of Mount- street into the north west corner of Berkeley- square. They were the very antipodes of Lord WESTMORELAND'S horses, and their life was as opposite. How time alters all things! We remember the day ( alas! that we should be so old!) when Lord ABERGAVENNY, Sir JOHN LAD, the late Sir GEORGE BAYMPFYLDE, and many other distinguished " whips," drove those enormously high phaetons and four, generally blacks, which, were they now ( such is fashion!) to appear in our streets, the " natives" would imagine some Bedlamite had broken loose, stolen our hearse- horses, and put upon wheels, and run away with, one of the new high houses in South- street— No. 39, Lord MELBOURNE'S Temple of innocence, for instance. In those by- gone days Lord ABERGAVENNY'S horses had no sinecure. We hear his Lordship regularly works even now ten or twelve line greys, chesnuts, and skewbalds, he has now in the country'; but our rule is not to vouch for anything we do not see, especially when? ittf " within the Bills of Mortality." Mr. LONG WELLESLEY'S splendid greys, we have not seen, since the latter part of 1832. Some of them, we are told, are now in the Itoyal stud. They all were very beautiful; so were his brown carriages. That heavy drag, that dead pull, the eccentric ex- Chan- cellor's, Baron BROUGHAM and VAUX'S, immortalized I' cowslip coloured" coach—( How gat he that fine name for its tint ?) and its equally celebrated, poor, hack, bay jobs, have been kept from making a combined appearance this season; his Lordship having been prevented attending the House of Lords, being unavoidably detained in Lincolnshire, decoy- ducking. Of the " cowslip- coloured" coach, we do not attempt to divine the fate. But the kindred old jobs, we shrewdly sus- pect we have detected; and that, like " ELIJAH'S mantle," they have descended from Lord BROUGHAM, to the Mar- quess of LANSDOWNE. We do not speak with certainty. We have seen Lord LANSDOWNE'S chariot, and light open carriage, and, in each, a pair of poor bays, which, if they did come not from Lord BROUGHAM'S turned off job, we really are at a loss to think whence they could have issued. The brown carriages may do— they might be a little less treacle- coloured— but the liot brick- dusty drab liveries, with red- hot brick- dust facings, aud narrow gold lace, require some better cattle to set them off, than Lord BROUGHAM'S " Useful Knowledge" will afford. We know not whether subscriptions to O'CONNELL deprive the horses of their oats ; nor what other pressing call stints the poor dumb animals of their hay— but, this we know, that the immensely wealthy, most noble Marquess of LANSDOWNE'S horses, most singu- larly remind us of an epigram ( we think, PIUOR'S) which is much like this:— " Thy nags, the leanest things alive; So very cheap thou lovest to drii e; I heard thy anxious coachman say— They cost you more in whips than hay 1" There are several phaetons entitled to notice. We can mention but one: his Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBER- LAND'S: tile colours aud pattern selected and assumed by his late Majesty, GEORGE the FOURTH, for the Royal carriages, immediately upon his accession to the Throne— a dark maroon, relieved red. THE ROYAL DUKE this season has driven a bayisli brown, and a rather dark grey; fine horses, but not, we apprehend, so particularly fine, as a pair of very light greys driven by his ROYAL HIGHNESS a season or two ago, and which we think, iu shape, pace, and stepping, the finest phaeton horses we have seen. Fours- in- liand have been scarcer this season, than in any within our memory. We are sorry too, to perceive that those elegant equipages, curricles, until lately so much the fashion with the Aristocracy, have become very rare. Both will, probably, " come in " again. Tilburies, stanhopes, dennets, and cabs, we cannot de- tail. Tilburies seem the favourites this year. There are a good many good horses for each of these kind of gigs. There are very few good hackneys. Of hunters aud racers we do not speak. They are the proper subjects of the Sporting Magazines. We have now given several " precedents" that may be followed with advantage; aud a few which it may be well to avoid. Our production must be looked upon with the indul- gence, due to those who are " not regular professional men," for we are not " Equity- Draftsmen." We seldom supply an article of the present kind, and having gone out of our usual course, the maxim should be observed—" not to look the gift horse iu the mouth," or as we may say, the Bull in the horn. And now to end :— we trust Reform may continue to decline, and " Equity" to advance ; aud that every year, we may in these respects, more and more adopt the good old habits of our good old grandfathers, and have a still further concomitant diminution, both of Radicals and " Rips." We resume our remarks upon the mercantile policy of this country as regards America. The first refinement in trickery arising out of the original basis raised by the American tariff is, as we have shown, iu the fact of de- coying " fresh importations," on which more tariff duties are levied to be loaned. The second refinement in trickery is, that on this basis is raised the swindling scheme of money- mongering. A ccording to the trash from Philadelphia published in the Chronicle of Wednes- day week, money," like shoes," should be " unlimited and vendible;" but the l'hiladelpliian writer conceals the fact, that MONEY is not, and cannot be " unlimited," and that all things " vendible" are brought finally to the standard value of a limited quantity of money. By this honourable scheme of money- mongering, all the importations into the United States are paid for— if paid for at all— in our own coin, and all the exportations out of the United States— ALL THE EXPORTA- TIONS OUT OF THE UNITED STATES ARE MORTGAGED THEREIN, AND BY CONSEQUENCE ARE CLEARLY UNASSIGNABLE TO ANY OTHER NATION IN THE WORLD !! 1— and this by means of money- mongering, of which 4s. ( id. notes are the agent. Let us particularise this branch of the subject- matter. No man, woman, or child, unless be, she, or it, be born an idiot, shall have hereafter a peg to hang a doubt upon. We repeat, that by means of money- moDgering, of which the basis is the American tariff, and of which 4s. 6d. notes are the agent, all the exportations out of the United States are mortgaged therein, and by consequence are clearly unassignable to any other nation in the world. The United States' Government lends tbe duties to the im- porters of the merchandise on which those duties are imposed; the importers borrow money on the credit of the amount of capital those duties afford them: those importers set up Joint Stock Banks, and issue, as Bankers, 4s. 6d. notes, to the full amount of their borrowed capital as importers: with these 4s. 6d. notes,. the importers as bankers pay for all the exports: both as importers and exporters, they buy as bankers, by means of their own 4s. 6d. notes, bills on London or Liverpool, for the full amount of all their exports: and finally, to pay the balance of trade between their exports and their imports, they buy also, by means of 4s. 6d. notes, as many sovereigns as will pay this balance! Now we appeal to the professors of political economy at Oxford and Cambridge, whether they can find in their science any elucidation of all this. They may, and no doubt will, like the man in the stocks, say it's all wrong; that it squares with no rule of right, or fitness of things that was ever heard of. That may be very true, but we cannot help that— WE are no sophists. If the reader has hitherto followed us in all our expositions on this subject, he will have remarked that, whether by the Government of the United States, by the Bank of the United States, or by the " Citizens" of the United States, every transaction with foreign nations is of the same character— technically speaking, it is a " but- tering of the bacon on both sides." Thus the United States' Government raises taxes, and lends the taxes, first, directly to the importers, and afterwards it lends the same taxes indirectly through the separate States to the same importers, and then the Government takes, as a representative of the loan of the taxes " a certificate" of the debt, as a negotiable commodity I The same with the United States' Bank, whose very title is a delu- sion. It is no more the Bank of the United States, or the UnitedStates' Bank, than Pennsylvania, which licensed it, is a nation! It has been merely chartered by the local legislature of one of the United States— namely, the State of Pennsylvania. And here en passant, let us describe this local legislature of Pennsylvania, not in our own words, but in the words of the partisans of the " United States' Bank." The Whigs in the United States are the partisans of this Bank, and these Whigs have proposed a candidate for the Presidental chair, in oppo- sition to the " heir apparent" VAN BunEN, a Tory, and ANDREW JACKSON'S nominee; and in anaddres3 of those very Whigs to " the people," published in their own organ, the New York Courier and Enquirer, dated the 1st July last, they, the Whigs, thus speak of all the locallegislatures ( Pennsylvania included) of the United States:— " Since the death of General CLINTON—( DE WIT CLINTON, who was called a swindler, was kicked out of the Generalship, was ruined, and broke his heart)— since the deathof General CLINTON ( say those Whigs), the system of internal improvement has been almost aban- doned; those who hold the important State offices, are novr, and always have been, opposed to it. Our halls of local legislation should CEASE to bean EXCHANGE where STOCKS are BOUGHT and SOLD, and where CHARTERS are GRANTED DEPENDING ON THE DIVISION OF PROFITS." These words, remember, reader, aro not ours— they aro the words of the partisans of the United States' Bank, which the local legislature of Pennsylvania has " chartered" to " butter their bacon on both sides," in a way of which the following is merely one illustration ont of a hundred illustrations we are prepared with:— In 183- 2 this firm had a notice from the United States' Government that they must wind up their affairs by the end of their charter in the then ensuing March, 1836. Here were four years'notice, but when their affairs after this notice ought ( o have been wound up, what had they done? Why they had sold their outstanding claims by means of bills discounted by their branches to their own clerks, who conducted those branches, and took in exchange for the short dated bills of their customers, the long dated bills of their clerks, and then " raised money in Europe" upon the basis of those clerk i' long dated bills, some of which have four years to run! The Genevese Traveller has had the goodness to tell us, that the United States' Government, being a shareholder to the extent of one- fifth of the capital of this Bank, will not " trouble it" for the amount until January next. Does this Genevese Traveller flatter himself the intel- ligent men of this country cannot behold the cloven foot under the gaberdine worn by him to conceal it, and which cloven foot was rather too conspicuous on Friday week, where he speculates on the price of American Bank stock twenty years hence ? Why, the United States' Government dare not— we say, SHALL NOT, receive one farthing of its shares until all the common creditors of these people are satisfied. The idea of a partner in a concern receiv- ing one- fifth of the whole capital to the prejudice of joint cre- ditors is little short of madness! We care not for the share- holders of this Bank, some of whom, we blush to own, are English- men, because they have certified in a pamphlet published by JOHN LESLIE that two pence a day are enough for their fellow crea- tures to be " dieted" on, in the richest parish in England— but we DO care for the creditors of this Bank; we do care for the manu- facturers who have exported their goods; and we do care for the Bank of England, which has discounted the Bills representing those goods; and, moreover, we do care for both manufacturers and the Bank of England, who will never receive one penny for their exports nor one penny for their discounts, except by means of the Americans them- selves robbing PETER to pay PAUL. Perhaps we have already said enough to satisfy any appetite but a Whig's— which grows by what it feeds on— that there are no rules or books by which the public can judge of these matters. How silly it appears, after all this, to talk about the " maxims of trade" adopted by our forefathers! They knew nothing about American tariffs— not they; and what is much more to the purpose, they would have compelled the Americans to pay us the real balance of trade in solid guineas, or else they would have cut, if not the Americans' i throats, at least the connexion with them. All this, however, as far as the Bank of England is concerned, is the mere upper- crust of the pie— let us now see a few of its " vicious ingredients." Suppose a manufacturer of Glasgow to havo an extensive manu- factory of muslins, the hands he employs in weaving and tambouring those muslins require in wages a weekly expenditure of cash. How is this cash to be raised ? Why, by discounting the acceptances of his customers, because liis capital, however large, is absorbed in ma- chinery, dead stock, and other things incidental to his establishment. This manufacturer sends his goods for sale to his agent in London, who sells the bulk of them to a free- trader for exportation. This free- trader's acceptance, mind, is discounted in Scotland by the manufacturer, in anticipation of the proceeds of sale by the free- trader or his agent at New Yorh, which agent at New York accepts a bill for his principal in London, who discounts this bill at the Bunk of England. This is all fair, and purely a mercantile transaction of the very first class, No. 1, in the present day. But suppose the agent in New York to remit, instead of his own first, second, or third bill of exchange, the acceptance of some other agent for the sale of Notting- ham lace, purchased by means of 4s. Cd. notes taken in the discount of his own American promissory note— what then ? Why the pro- ceeds of the Glasgow muslins would then go to the taking up of his own American promissory note, and not to the honouring of the bill discounted by the Bank of England. In this case who would be tho loser ? Why, the free trader, if he could stand the loss— if not, the manufacturer in Glasgow; and if he could not, why then the Bank in Scotland, and if the Bank of Scotland could not, why then the much- abused Bank of England! But were we to ring the changes on cross transactions in this matter by means of accommodation paper in both countries, by means of the gambling in Glasgow muslins in both countries, by means of gambling in the raw material of the Glasgow muslins in both countries; and then change hands down the middle and back again, ring the further changes by means of " the difference" in the accounts at the " set- tling day" of the gamblers in both countries on the raw materials and the Glasgow muslins— were we to do this, the reader would be fully convinced, if he is not already, that it was high time for the Bank of England, like Timon of Athens, assailed on all sides, to cry out— " Give— give me breath'." With regard to our exports and imports, efflux and reflux of gold, which our contemporaries talk about, the whole affair is in a nutshell. Did this nation carry on its commerce as our forefathers did— poor deluded creatures!— in pure simplicity, we should now be in the re- ceipt of millions upon millions of sovereigns as the balance of trade; but, alas! since we learnt to parlez- vous, e'est une autre affaire— oui, oui, oui— e'est une autre affaire! If individuals of this nation could stand on the docks at London or Liverpool, and see consolidated in one day's transactions the whole transactions of a year between us and the United States, those indi- viduals would then instantly perceive, that as a bale of American cotton is naturally less valuable than a bale of manufactured muslins, so in a sound and healthy state of tilings ought the difference of ex- change between the cotton and the muslins to be paid over by the 296 j o h n b u l l September 304. United States lo Great Britain. But it is the multifa ous, minto, and intricately cross- transactions by individuals IH both countrie « throughout the year, and throughout our lives, that embarrass all but the soundest heads, and which had well nigh embarrassed the Bank of England. Never were persons placed in a more trying si- tuation than the Directors of the Bank of England were, and it is not to be wondered at that they should have hesitated! They have, how- ever, at last done all they can to save the country, and individual! must endeavour now to save themselves by saving one another, and that by one means only— MCTBAL FORBEARANCE. Since the above was written, the " farce," as the Morning Herald calls it, of a general meeting of proprietors of Bank Stock has taken jdaco. Our contemporary wishes to know if the forty country bankers who joined the rest of the proprietors in voting unanimously their thanks to the Governor and Directors, spoke the sentiments of the six hundred country bankers ? We say " Yes," with this quali- fication, that we presume the Herald means private, not joint- stock, bankers; and, moreover, we are quite sure not only the private bankers, but every man of property in the three kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland, and every real patriot in those kingdoms, was represented at the " farce" the Herald speak? of. With every proper feeling for our contemporary, we must take leave to tell him, that it is more noble to amend one's faults than never to have committed any; and with this intimation we hope he will acknowledge his errors at least, if not faults, in advocating, as he has done for years, a silver standard of value. That can be no standard of value which lias subjected THE rEorr. E to a loss of about forty thousand pounds in the wear and tear thereof, and which also subjected the Bank to a loss of about thirty thousand pounds on the same transaction. Will our contemporary at the same time he acknowledges his errors or faults also inform us what he means by money being raised 100 per cent.; and if so, what will be the effects to our manufacturers, who have sent about half of the whole of 200 millions worth of goodsto the United States, lo enable the importers to pay 50,000 dollars for twenty- five feet of frontage in that pandemonium called New York ? The readers of this journal will, however, be highly gratified by the perusal of the proceedings, an abstract of which, we insert in another column. The " Exchequer- bill rig," as the Times calls it, will, we should suppose, make the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEOUER hide his dimi- nished head like a pea under a tliimblc. Nous verrons. TO JOHN BULL. ISraintrec, 13th September, 1S3G. Sir,— Allow me to correct a mistake in the following paragraph, in the intelligence department of Hull of last Sunday :— " Experiments of growing hops, both in Wiltshire and Essex, this year have succeeded so well, that an article hitherto unknown m these counties, is likely to become a staple commodity in each. Of Wiltshire I cannot speak, but in Essex, the culture of hops, so far from having been, liitherto unknown, has been to my knowledge, formore than thirty yearns, one of the principal objects of agriculture in this neighbourhood. The celebrated Marsh of Castle Hedingliam, and the very rich gr. unds or gardens of Sible Hedingham, Weatlicrsfield, Maplestead, Stisted, & C-, have long produced hops little inferior to those of Kent or Farnham. The paragraph is so erroneous that 1 presume it must have been copied from some other paper. I am, Sir, with much respect, ONE OF YOUR CONSTANT COUNTRY SUBSCRIBERS. We have recently seen some experimental grounds in ( lie immediate vicinity of London, upon which the plants are looking remarkably healthy.— ED. THE RAILWAY NUISANCE. Dear Bull,— You did good service in keeping the Bristol railway out of the hamlet of Brompton— but yon must not rest upon your arms. Have you seen an advertisement announcing an intention to apply to Parliament in the next Session for leave to make a branch from this railway to Kuightsbridge? Pray, dear John, roar against this scheme with all your might, as well as against another for making a railway to Richmond on the Middlesex ride of the river, nu Act having been already passed for making one on the Surrey side. Do secure us some retreat from smoke and noise, and you will greatly oblige Your loving cousin, Kensington Gore. TIIOMAS BULL. THE Rev. Dr. RUDGF., whose exertions iu ( lie good cause we have frequently had occasion to notice, has recently addressed a letter to his parishioners, of which the following is an extract:— " In spite of calumny and misrepresentation and falsehood ( for none of these things move me, nor do I know what fear is, when in the midst of my ministerial labours and engagements), at a time too, when to have inculcated from the pulpit the religion of Christian contentment, was accounted and branded as the doctrine of task- masters to their slaves, ar. d of oppressors to the oppressed, I calmly but boldly warned . you of the results— of the disappointment and of the disgust in which such ferment and exasperation must ensue- that what was so hastily changed in the body politic could never even- tually produce a sound and wholesome state in the political system. But, during the prevalence of the disease, and the delirium of the fever, Mda leader been sent to you from the best schools of philosophy, or an angel even been commissioned from the highest seats of heavenly wisdom, you would have had none of their counsel: you would have despised or have sneered at all their reproofs! for you had but an ear then for the itinerant mountebank or the mendicant quack, who prowled about your parishes, intruding into your houses, and preaching up the advent of some political millennium, in which I know not what beatific visions were to have been realised; that the poor man was to become as the rich man, and the sweat of the face, and the toil of the plough, and of the anvil and the loom, were to be butas the reminiscences only of the past— the bread of idleness was to be eaten, and the strong drink of licentiousness was to be drunk; that all the bonds, and links, and chains, which had hitherto kept and cemented society together, were to be dissolved and broken up ; that all the wealth of the wealthy was to be transferred into the hands, and rolled into the lap, of the needy; the farms of the tenant, and the shops of the tradesman, were to be occupied by the labourers of the soil or the clerks of the counter; the servant was to become the master, and the Lord of the Manor to be sunk down into the depend- ant or villain of the serf! Mighty revulsion and disorganisation of things indeed ! But has this political millennium been realised ? Or, have all been as pome baseless fabric of the vision ? What have yon ob- tained ? Parliamentary Reform ? Is that a gain, indirect or other- wise, to any class of tlie community ? Has it yet rendered, or will it ever render, bread and cheese cheaper— the franchises of free- men more secured, or the condition of the people in any respect bet- tered ? A removal of abuses which, like the ivy, have crept within the wall, and have impaired some portion of the brick- work of our Constitution in Church and State, is a Reform indeed, in which all honest patriots must concur in thinking, with all good Christians, is highly desirable. But I question whether much, if any, good has been effected by what has been yet done. For, what signifies it- to me, whether such places as Old Sarum or Gatton have been dis- franchised, if thy corruption in the body politic has spread, and the disease is malignant in another direction, and to as great an extent, and continues untouched and unexpelled in other parts of the system ? For my part, if the nicely- adjusted balance of our Constitution has been effected by the working of the Reform Bill, or one of the three estates of the realm lias obtained a preponderance over the other two— the democratic to wit, by its pressure has weighed down and op- pressed the Monarchical or the Aristocratical— I should much rather that such a Reform had never been carried into effect, for the equi- ibrium once gone, it will never do any good— no, not even eventually to the democracy, as all history proves. Give me the rule of a tyrant, rather than the tyranny of the democrats, or the despotism of the Radicals— a Cromwell or a Buonaparte, rather than the mobs of London or Paris. So far from Reform— should the democratical influence prevail— doing any good, it will work an infinity of mischief. You see how the leaven of mischief is already fermenting. How has the Monarchy been affected by it ? How has the aristocracy ? The democracy is proceeding, or progressing— to use the new cant term of the day— boldly to ride rampant over the one and the other ; and such is the anamoly in our times, that the power of the Sovereign, the influence of the Lords, and even the heads of the Executive Government, are, at this moment, more or less, contracted by a section of the democracy, and will be curtailed and despoiled of all their means of doing good, and originating and improving, and carringinto effect, wise and salutary measures, should tiling progress as they have begun ; and, unless a re- action should take place, and throw up a barrier or embankment against the further rush of waters, more bitter to the taste than the waters of Marah, and more wither- ing in their effects than the locusts on the laud of Egypt. And, of that re- action, I am as confident as I am of the existence which I enjoy, by the mercy of God, at this'instant, and that it will roll on and augment to a much greater extent than it has yet done. Why do I speak with so much confidence of a re- action ? Because I have a strong reliance on the plain good sense of my countrymen; and that if, under strong excitement, they think and speak freely and loudly, they will think and speak truly and rightly, when that excitement has subsided: and when they see that their strong excitements were inflamed and exasperated, and used only as so many ladders to enable a faction to scale and ascend the ramparts of power, and that those ladders were kicked away, when they had accomplished the purpose for which they had been put into requisition, the powers of reason will then re- assume their influence, and through the glass of cool and calm reflection, the film of passion and delusion being quite removed, the right from the wrong, and the truth from the falsehood, and substance from the shadow, will become clearly apprehended and understood. And is not this so? And what hath been done for the poor, the needy, the necessitous of the land? A new Poor Law Bill. What have been their gains from this measure ? Have they been great; or has it wrought, or is it likely to work, good, in shielding them from the winter's cold, from the piercing blast and the pinching want? A new Poor Law system has been manufactured and produced— a system, of which its abettors vaunt forth to the land, that it will better the condition of the destitute, and reduce the rates of the parish. Like all bold and vociferous boasters, it will be but as the pigmy in performance, for it cannot and never will accomplish the one or the other; since it fakes with the left hand from the poor, what it gives with the right hand to the over- paid and stipendiary dispensers of this precious Legislative enactment— which never can effect the reduction of parochial rales, since its expenditure is costly, and what with bearing the expense of erecting poor- houses, paying relieving officers, < fec., it will be more burdensome to parishes eventually than under the former administra- tion of the Poor Laws; and for my part I would sooner, if money must be raised and expended, that it should be raised and expended rather upon and for even the least indigent and deserving of the poor.* A system which rends asunder the best and most endearing ties of humanity— which sends to the poor- house, or the worse than prison- house, the poor mechanic and the industrious cottagers, upon whom the hand of Gon hath lighted, and the day of disease and sickness hath come— whose arm hath become pnralized, and whose strength hath become prostrate ; and to them, therefore, the pauperised husband and father, the destitute wife nnd the infant offspring, must appeal in vain for bread to sustain existence, and clothing to cover nature's nakedness. O what a system! thus to separate a husband from his wife, nnd a father from : is children ! A system moreover, which holds forth to the polished ruffian, and the lustful brute, apremium for the unbridled and impunitive pursuit and indulgence of their unhallowed craft and gains ; and instead of doing what Heaven designed— viz., rendering man the natural guardian and protector of the woman, lier violator and seducer; and when he has triumphed over his victim, turns her out on the wide world, the whole of that world's law being literally against her— an outcast from its health- ful walks and wholesome society— the scorn and laughing- stock of the despoiler— an exile from the home of her parents; nnd, as a loath- some leper, of whom, in the eye of the merciless and the unpitying, the breath would be as contamination, and the touch as death! O what a system! that, under the despicable cant- pbraseology of hu- manity and economy, impoverishes and deteriorates the poor, pau- perises and degrades the industrious, and imposes all the pains and penalties of prostitution on that sex, which is, perhaps, the least able to foresee and calculate its evils, as it confessedly is the least able to meet and sustain its pressure ! In an unguarded moment of passion, from which who is exempt?— the healthful reputation is blasted— the mind's ease and the conscience's peace are flown, and in time she CANADA. Extract from a letter, dated Peterborough, July 17, 1836. The general election of Members for the House of Assembly has closed a week since, and we have, throughout the colony, given the Radicals such a drubbing as they will not forget for some years. I do not suppose such a re- action in public opinion, and so very de- cidedly expressed, can be found in the annals of electioneering in any quarter of the world, except where revolution has held the sway. You may tell JOEY HUME that the " tottle of the whole" of his treasonable urguments about" baneful domination," is scouted throughout this colony, and he is heartily dispised. And you may tell ROEBUCK, •' to go to Bath, and pedile his legal wares, as a hired and paid politician, formore beneficial purposes than med- dling with us. The most powerful Radicals who held seats in the late House have been angrily dismissed by their constituents. Two of them are re- ported to have shed tears of disappointment and vexation. Upper Canada will now advance in prosperity beyond our most sanguine expectations. Every sort of improvement will now be most liberally encouraged. Canals, roads, and railroads, will be com- menced on a scale such as the country deserves. TO JOHN BULL. Sir,— In your paper of last week— under the paragraph of the New Marriage Act— you put a query, " Why do the Clergy deviate from the Rubric, and publish banns after the Second Lesson ? " The an- swer is this— because they are ordered so to do, by an Act of Parlia- ment of George II.' s time, to prevent clandestine marriages. I am, Sir, your humble servant nnd reader, R. E. H. We find in the Standard of Wednesday the following paragraph:— " Mr. FARLEY, the celebrated getter- up of processions and pan- tomimes, has recently undergone a painful operation upon his nas a organ." This announcement calls for a few words of notice. Mr. LISTOK— not the inimitable actor, but a namesake of his— a first- rate surgeon, of Edinburgh, has, as we suppose most of our readers know, esta- blished himself in Burlington- street, London. Now that that, which was certainly a disfigurement to Mr. FARLEY, a most deservedly- popular actor, and, to use the words of the Standard, " getter- up of processions and pantomimes," has by Mr. LISTON'S wonderful skill been removed, there can be no difficulty in alluding to it. Not only has Mr. FARLEY been relieved from the effects of some local disorder which greatly increased the size of his nose, but other gentlemen, who have suffered under similar inconvenience, have been entirely relieved from what must be considered a calamity. We remember hearing a long discussion upon the merits of LISTON as regarded FARLEY'S " nasal organ," and, of course, all the people who first heard of it, thought that LISTON and FARLEY had somehow split the difference so as to make a couple of good Doses between them. But, no; not a bit of it. LISTON the surgeon is not LISTON the actor; and certainly, whatever the comedian king of his class may do with parts that are not prominent, his namesake possesses a judicious power of cutting out, for those which are, which it would be ex- tremely \ re! l for the dramatic artists if they would more rigidly ad- here to. CONSERVATIVE FESTIVALS. becomes a mother, and at an hour too in which a feeble woman most needs consolation and support, to hear the healing voice, and to hang on the soothing accents of sympathy. What is the law's cold and merciless mandate ? On thee rest the shame. Share thou with none the infamy of thy crime. Support thyself, and subsist thy babe, as best thou canst I Accursed law I that, while it reaches not the most heartless and the most guilty of the offenders, visits with the rod of its chastisement and the full vengeance of its penalties, the frail and defenceless female, and, with the unmitigating ferocity of the Jewish code, can almost doom to the rack and the stone the victim of the seducer's sensuality and lust. There is, indeed, another law, that of the GOD of mercy and forbearance, under the shadow and protec- tion of which may be found a refuge for a penitent and believing soul, bowed down to the earth's dust by a sense of sin, and the gall and wormwood of guilt,— a law, to the accents of which the self- abased and lowly may listen with joy and even with acceptance, and find mercy and not wrath, in the day of their visitation ! His mandate is not, go and be stoned; but " go and sin no more!" • It cannot be doubted that there are two redeeming cjunlities in this Bill, the relief of the poor in bread and clothing, and the check it given to the idle and profligate, who, under the old system, constituted the greatest pressure on the parochial rates. PETIEBOJOUGH CONSERVATIVES.— Peterborough has followed in the wal e ol'Suuth Lancashire, West Suffolk, South Essex, Canter- bury, i nd a host of other important districts, where, within the past week, Conservative " demonstrations" have taken place. These meetings afford the most gratifying evidence of the progress Conser- vative principles are making. " Indeed, so great has been this pro- gress, so thorough the re- nction in the public mind, that another appeal to the people— and we care not how soon that may be— and the fate of the Whigs as a party is sealed for ever. With respect to the Peterborough Conservatives, we must say that their zealous and unremitting exertions in the good cause, afford an example to the whole country. They have already materially assisted to achieve one important victory, and, iu so doing, humbled not a little the haughty master that has so long held them in thraldom ; and we are confident that the very next triumph they achieve will be that which will make their ancient city what she never yet has been— free and independent. We would draw particular attention to the remarks that fell from the several speakers at the spirited meeting on Thurs- day last, and particularly to the addresses of tho Protestant cham- pion, Lord Wmchilsea, Mr. Surtees, and Mr. Mann- ell. The people have only to follow such leaders— men imbued with ardent zeal for their King, their country, and their God— and then, but a little mo- ment, and England will be herself again. The Northampton Herald, from which the above is taken, publishes a long report of the meeting, to which we regret our inability to devote further space. We. most, however, find room for a passage from the speech of Lord Winchilsea, still, as he ever has been, the uncompromising friend of the British people, and one of the best props of the British Constitution:—" He believed unless the country continued— and indeed increased— its support of the Peers, that thej- cou'd not long prevent the passing of some of those fraudulent mea- sures which were constantly being sent to them from the Commons ; measures, which, he regretted to state, were wickedly conceived and so plausibly worded, that the utmost diligence and caution were ne- cessary to prevent their being passed without detection. The Peers were amply repaid for their past services in the approval of their countrymen : and the applause with which the toast bad been drank assured him of their continued support to himself and his noble Col- leagues, in their future opposition to the enemies of Old England." GRAND CONSERVATIVE DINNER AT SOUTH ESSEX.— A public dinner was on Tuesday presented to Mr. George Palmer, the newly elected Member for South Essex, at Ongar, by the Conservatives of the Epping polling district, in celebration of his return. It was found necessary to limit the invitations to one district, for had the party been collected from the South Division of the county generally, there would have been no adequate accommodation for the company that would have collected. As it was, there was no room in ODgar suffi- ciently large enough to hold the number expected, but a spacious and substantial booth was erected in the grounds of Mr. J. Potter, find was gaily decorated with laurel branches and flowers. The Union Jack, and the colours of the Royal Essex Volunteers, were suspended from the roof. Over the chair and the cross- table appeared three banners, with mottos, " Church and King; " Palmer, the friend of Agriculture ;" " Bramston, the, tried friend of Agricul- ture." Upwards of 300 gentlemen sat down to a cold but sumptuous repast. Messrs. Fitzwilliam, Atkins, and Hobbs, the professional singers, enlivened the company during the evening by their vocal ex- hibitions. Three bucks were presented to the table by some of the gentry. The chair was taken by Mr. John Round, of Danbury- park, an old and staunch friend of the Conservative cause. He was sup- ported right and left, by Sir J. Tyrell, Sir R. Palmer, Mr. Horace Twiss, M. P. ( who resides in the neighbourhood), Mr. QuentinPick, M. P., Mr. Capel Cure, Mr. J. Conyers, the Rev. Dr. Barrett, Rec- tor of Beauchamproothing, and a host of gentlemen resident in the neighbourhood. The quarterly meeting of the Sflvenoaks Conservative Association was held on Monday, at the Rose and Crown Inn. The report oftho state of the register was most favourable, and there ear. be no doubt thnt Conservatism is taking rapid strides in this neighbourhood. Monday afternoon, the Canterbury Conservative Registration So- ciety had their annual dinner, at the Corn Exchange. About 100 gentlemen sat down to the dinner. W. H. Baldock, Esq., took the chair. Mr. G. Croasdill occupied the vice chair. The toasts were of the usual Conservative tenour, nnd were most rapturously and en*, thusiastically applauded. Several excellent speeches were made, and songs sung; and the evening was passed in that spirit of Con- servative harmony which has marked the numerous great and im- portant meetings of the friends of the Constitution in all parts of the kingdom. A Conservative dinner Was held at Beverly on Wednesday. Ia September 18. j o h n b u l l. 305 reference to the present peculiar aspect of political affairs, it may be considered one of tlie most important meetings that have ever occurred in this country. Nearly a thousand persons met together to ct ' ebrate the formation of the East Riding Conservative Asswia- tion'and to express their devotion and attachment to constitutional urin'ciples. At an early hour the town of Beverley began to fill with carriages and vehicles from various parts of the Riding, and such was the intensity of the interest created by the meeting that persons from the extremity of the eastern division of the county, at considerable personal inconvenience, made it a point of attending ; and num- bers who applied late for tickets were unable to procure tliem, the building being unable to contain more than the number that had been previously provided for. The list of the company M P • ifm. ' Wilberforce, Esq. ; Mark Foulis, Esq. ; General Mais'ter. W. West, Esq.; R. F. Shaw, Esq.; Sir T A. Constable, Bart.; Hon. Captain J ocelyn, George Cholmondley, Esq. W e have space only for a passage from the speech of Mr. Wilbertorce:— • It might be asked, liow conld he, the living representative ot one now no more, who had for thirty vears enjoyed the confidence not only or the East Riding but of the whole county of York— it might be asked how could he, whose father had never been a party man, identity himself with an association of that description ? The answer was plain and obvious. These were not times resembling the former period, when, before the Reform Bill, the destinies of the nation were not swayed by a few Irish Members—- when the House of Lords was not dragged at the chariot- wheels of a factious demagogue. If in fighting the battles of the Constitution tlie Conservatives waited t> o loii" they would have to fight them in another way." The meeting has already produced the most beneficial effects in the East Riding. It forms a rather striking contrast to that of Leeds. CONSERVATIVE DINNER IN YOUGHAL.— A dinner of the Royal York Conservative Association took place 011 Thursday evening last, at Youghal, at which upwards of one hundred of the loyal, intrepid, and unc turning spoke m the following . „ your attention to the noble effusions given utterance to to- night by your Chairman and the gentlemen who surround me, but more par- ticularly to the address of the Rev. Gentleman who spoke to the toast of > The Lord Primate aud the Church;' and although he spoke well and handsomely, still there is one topic which he handled very deli- cately, that of the designs of the Roman Catholic party with regard to that Church. ( Hear.) I am not a member of that Church, but, us a Roman Catholic, I may be allowed to assure you of the nature of those designs. ( Hear, hear.) I then tell you not to be deceived in the present day, for I fearlessly assert that the end, aim, and object of the Roman Catholic Clergy is to subvert your Church of England alto- gether, and to annihilate it, root and branch, from the land." The Essex Standard says— At home, the most prominent occur- rences have be en the holding of large Conservative meetings, in va- rious parts of the country, the particulars of one of which, at Ongar, will be found in our present number. Who will deny that the Conser- vative cause is strong, and daily gaining slrength ? These numerous assemblages of the influential, intelligent, and wealthy portion of society, speak trumpet- tongned the just condemnation of the truckling and imbecile Ministry. Despised even by their Radical allies- scorned, threatened, and insulted by the men to whom they have sold themselves— they know not which way to turn for succour; and the date of their dismissal from office cannot be far distant. Weighed in the balance, they have been found wanting; and the country is now ooking to the Conservatives for those sound and safe measures, which, even were they willing, the present Ministers have not the power to carry. AVI* ESPURY.— On Monday last the town of Aylesbury presented a scene that would give further proofs ( if any still be wanting) that Conservative feelings are gaining power rapidly with the middle classes. Upwards of 240 of the electors of the borough and hundreds of Aylesbury assembled together at the George Hotel, for the purpose of receiving W. M. PRAED, Esq., M. P. for Yarmouth, who has pledged himself to come forward on the Conservative interest at the first opportunity in the place of the present gallant Member, Colonel HANMEB, who will retire on account of ill health. THOS. TINDAL, Esq., the President of the Aylesbury Conservative Club, was in the chair, supported by the Marques of CHAXDOS, M. P., and many other firm friends to Church and State. After the usual loyal toasts had been duly honoured, the CHAIRMAN, in a very able speech, proposed FILE health of W*. M. PRAEI), Esq., whom he hoped to see at the next ejection returned by considerable majority. He should not dwell OU the merits and talents of that gentleman, who had already shown himself, botliat the bar and in the House of Commons, deserving the support of the Conservatives of Aylesbury.— Mr. PRAEO acknowledged the compliment paid to him in a very eloquent speech, in which he declared his determination to support the excellent and venerable institutions of his country. He called the attention of his hearers to the proceedings of the last Parliament in contrast with the promises which Ministers had made to the people since they had joined the O ' CONNELL faction. | IIe conclndedlus address by assuring the electors that, should he be returned, at the next election, for their ancient borough, he would give his undivided and conscientious support to that Government whose real object was the prosperity and welfare of the country. The Royal Cornwall Conservative Society held its fourth annual meeting, which was very numerously attended, at Falmouth last week. The society met in . the new hall built for their use. Mr. DAVIES GILBERT presided. There has been a Conservative dinner at Bury— the first that has been given there. We extract a passage which refers to it from the ISury Post. We notice with exceeding pleasure that at all such fes- tivals, there is a large proportion of tlie middle classes:— Though our meeting on Friday was graced by many representa- tives of noble and ancient families, and though the amount of pro- perty centred in the assemblage was great, still perhaps it was more gratifying to observe that the greatest distinction of the meeting was, the display which it presented of what may be termed the influential members of the middle order of society. Almost every parish in the division seemed tifhave sent forth its choicest residents as its repre- sentatives; and it was a subject of general remark in the room, that if only the yeomen present exerted themselves with a corresponding energy in the cause, 110 opponent of the Constitution, i. e. 110 sup- porter of the present Government, need offer himself for the repre- sentation ofthis division. We rejoice that this division of Lancashire is not backward thisyear, as it has not been backward before, to present a spectacle of the union of the friends of the Constitution, of their vigour and enthu- siasm, and of their respectability and personal importance ; and the congregated numbers have been such as to excite the surprise of the languid, the envy of opponents, and the zeal of the absent portion of the Conservative party. We may look in vain in the Whig- Radical ranks for such an aggregate of wealth, worth, and influence, as can without difficulty be assembled by the Conservative party, and did meet together at Newton.— Manchester Chronicle. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. wards of a hundred men have been employed during the summer., months. The Marquess and Marchioness of Londonderry are shortlyex- pectod to return to this country.

The mansion of the late Duke of Beaufort, ii) Grosveijor- square, Violet: or, The Danseuse.— 2 vols. Colbnrn. There is an affectation, a pretty one, 110 doubt, but still an afTecta- tion, in the title of this book which will create a prejudice against it in the minds of many renders. We lament this the more, as it is long since we have seen a work of such keen,' brilliant, yet profound per- ception. Tlie trusting, gentle, loving Violet— the heartless, specu- lative Emily— the selfish, strong- minded, pleasure loving D'Arcy— the idle, fashionable Harcourt— the gentle and amiable Dupas, the authors of Violet's existence— simple, weak, affectionate, worldly people— all are not only sketched, but. finished portrait! of extra- ordinary interest and excellence. Violet, the Danseuse, is the pro- duction of a man knowing the world— we mean the fashionable and depraved world— but, too well. In arrangement and developmenthis story more resembles the " Father and Daughter" of Mrs. Opie than any other record of seduction we are acquainted with; but it is wrought out with greater nerve and knowledge, and once read can never he forgotten. The author's literary skill is much inferior fo his genius and information, aud his style is at times ungraceful and careless; but these faults can be amended by a little attention : lie has possession of a mine, deep, rich, yet hazardous: let him work it carefully and it will yield him jewels and fine gold sufficient to freight an argosy of books. We nre glad to meet with a novel in tuo volumes; the present drawn out into three would have been in- supportable— it would either have harrowed the feelings past endur- ance, or it must have fallen off towards the conclusion. We hope the fashion will be adopted whenever the subject requires it. Madrid in 1835. By a RESIDENT OFFICER.— 2 vols. The author of these entertaining volumes has the happy method of keeping up the attention from the first page to the last, and of blending so much real information as to the state of this divided country with light and cheerful matter, that it is difficult to decido whether instruction or amusement was his principal object. His talent is varied— his sketches of the Society at Madrid graphic anil rivid— his observations upon the public Institutions full of shrewdness and discernment— and, from the following observation, it would appear that all the Ministers of" Enlightened Europe" at this timo being, act pretty much upon the smne plan :— " The first and foremost idea of a Spanish Minister, when he gets into power, is to make good use of his time, and provide for his family in the best way he can; the next is, to. reject any plan, however excellent, approved of by his predecessors; and, for this good reason, that, as it did not originate with him, he concludes that he would not lmve the credit of it with the public 1 No observant traveller in Spain can fail to verify the truth of this remark, when he sees the number of grand monuments commenced by a Minister when in power, and abandoned the moment the originator's official etireer has ceased. What in older and better times used to form the object of a Statesman's life— to which his time and talents were incessantly devoted— namely, the acquisition of public confidence, and the ad- vancement of national prosperity— so that his name, and the bene- ficial acts of his administration, might be handed down to posterity— never enter the head of any modern Spanish Minister. These mighty personages look upon matters in a very different point of view. ' Mau'slifeis short,' say they, ' and full cf troubles, nndsnares, and dis- appointments. He who litis it in his power to avoid them, and weave himself a tissue of asure and gold, is a downright fool not to do so 1'" So much for modern " pathriotisin!"— The volumes are very care- lessly printed— the Errata to the first volume being of frightful length, aud the mistakes calculated to mislead the reader on very important points— foreign names, and the names of places, should be especially attended to. St. Petersburgh, Constantinople, and Napoli de Romania, in 1833 and 1S34. By M. VON FIETZ. This work is translated from the German, and the translator has performed his part skilfully and judiciously. The author has pro- duced a very agreeable book, rather tainted, we think, by his pre- deliction for Russia and all things Russian. Making, therefore, large deductions from his statements, and his inferences from them, because of his avowed object of writing to laud the country he likes, Mid to decry every matter that may be opposed to its interests, the reader will find in M. VON FIETZ much to amuse and something to inform. The Court and Camp of Don Carlos. By M. B. IfoNtN, Esq. Mr. HONAN may be justly considered as the safest authority from which we have as yet received statements, of the civil war in Spain, the positions of the contending party, and the probable results of the contest. He went to the Peninsula prejudiced, not in favour of Don C. uiLoa, but against him— his object was to communicate with an 306 j o h n b u l l. September 18. English newspaper, anil to convey exact intelligence of what he saw or knew; his interest, therefore, in the issue was not of a nature to bias him, and if he had been disposed to give a wrong colouring to facts, he was fully aware there were many watching to detect him. We feel assured that he has " set down" no more than the truth;— that truth bears ns ont in all we have said of Spain and its miserable Government for months past. Mr. 11 ox AN describes the bloody and beastly Christinos revelling— absolutely revelling— over their butchered victims; and describes that party as utterly worthless in every sense of the term. He entertains no doubt of the ultimate success of Don CARLOS— certain, as he is, that a vast majority of the people are with him. The book is full of interest, and will be read with mingled pain and pleasure. THE THEATRES. Covent Garden commenced the season 1836- 7 on Monday. Drury Lane, for reasons which, though not known, are guessed at, postpones its opening for a few weeks. There is no change in the management of Covent Garden; no additional decorations, interior or exterior; the prices of admission are the same as last year; and at present we are not given to understand that the corps dramatique is to be other than it has been. Mr. CHARLES KEMBLE is, until MACREADY'S arrival, the great supporter of the tragic drama. On Monday he ap- peared in Macbeth ; and, if we may not consider him as altogether a fitting representative of the Scottish tyrant, there are points in his acting of which the severest critic may approve. There are many parts to which he will be far more competent, and in which he will prove much more attractive; if he and MACREAOY " act in concert" to- gether they may prodnce some pleasant and profitable effects. We are sick of hoping that some great effort may be made by our national Theatres on behalf of the national| Drama. The success of Ion, both at Covent Garden and the Haymarket, may, however, contribute to assure Messieurs, the managers, that the public only put up with bad things, because they are rarely enabled to contrast them with things that are good. HAYMARKET.— A pleasant and clever little Drama, under the title of The Cavalier, has been played at this theatre; it will require some alteration, the catastrophe being odiously and unnecessarily tragic, an alteration which we understand is to be made forthwith, and it may stand a very reasonable chance of " a run" for the re- mainder of the season. It is stated to be from the pen of Mr. CHARLES WHITEHEAD, a gentleman who not long ago hazarded the chance of fame and money upon certain printed sheets purporting to be " Miscellaneous Poems." We are not so widely different from all other rational beings as to have read these rhyming ventures; but his drama proves him to be of a better order than most of the small bards who labour to take the town by sap. The story of his play is laid in times very fertile to romances. A dissolute Noble makes " forbidden love" to the wife of a cavalier, and employs a gen- tleman of rather subservient habits to tempt the husband to take a sum of money as a set- off against the loss he is expected to sustain— a proposal which is not satisfactory; and, in consequence of which the Noble runs off with the dame. She finds him rather too rude, stabs him, and he dies. The ruffian who was aiding and assisting, then denounces the lady as having murdered, not in defence of her virtue, but with intent to rob; and the result is a trial and conviction. Just at the moment, however, when all is about to be set right, the good rewarded, and the wicked pun- ished, the wretched husband kills himself and his unhappy wife— a kind of poetic justice of which the audience by no means approved, and which must, consequently, be " reformed altogether." Bar- grave, the husband, was represented by Mr. VANDENHOFF, and the wife by Miss TREE, and both sustained their parts well. The acting of Miss TREE was, indeed, powerful and effective beyond aught we have lately seen. The drama, as we have intimated, " will do." It is well conceived, the positions are highly dramatic, and it is written in a style to which unhappily the modern stage is too much a stranger. The language is vigorous and pathetic; and although strong charac- ters and startling circumstances form its staple, nature is not out- raged. MA LIN RAN has been performing with most distinguished success at Aix- la- Chapelle. A few evenings since, after the close of the opera of La Sonnambida, in which she had been performing with the German artistes, by command of the King, the soldiers on duty at her departure presented arms and gave the salute. PIGOT and BONDER, two of the musical parly going to Man- chester, who were upset in the Peveril and Manchester coach, are doing well. LABLACHE and IVANHOFF are quite recovered from the slight hurts they received from their upset. The escape of ASSANDRI was singular. She was under LA- BLACHE, who, after the first shock, asked if she was injured. She made no reply, and the ponderous singer, with great presence of mind, extended his arm, broke the window, and managed to raise himself above ASSANDRI, who had fallen with her mouth on the cushion, and who then exclaimed, that one minute more would have suffocated her. IVANHOFF, after the coach was overturned, kept on exclaiming, " Tenez vous ferine." Madame PANORMO, whose abilities are highly appreciated in the musical world, is giving a series of lectures, at the Colosseum, on the art of singing. MADAME VESTRIS lias personally superintended the very great improvements now in progress at the Olympic Theatre. The gallery is entirely removed, the ceiling considerably elevated, and the fronts of the boxes painted and decorated in a llorid style, in imitation of the age of Louis QUATORZE. LISTON and CHARLES MATHEWS are expected to appear in a new drama, written by PLAN cm:, on the opening night. A new and very splendid Theatre has been opened in Lei- cester. It was built under the direction of BEAZLEY. A splendid dinner was given by the proprietors on the occasion of the opening, to which many of the performers were invited. DRURY LANE.— The renovation of the interior of Drury- Lane has been commenced, but so much remains to be done in this and other departments, that it is very doubtful whether Mr. BUNN will be able to open his house until towards the middle of October. alone is to cost nearly the sum paid in " the olden time" for the Forget- Me- Not and its pretty competitors. Mr. HAYDON has written a letter to the newspapers, recording fact of vast importance— viz., that the sum he received for " the Reform Festival" was only 5001. and not 1,000 guineas. We believ Earl GREY has the picture— and wish him joy of his bargain. Sir DAVID WILKIE is painting a portrait of Mr. DANIEL O'CON NEIL— for whom think you, good reader? For a Clergyman of the Established Church. We shall give the name of this gentleman one of these days. Mr. BEHNES has nearly finished his colossal statue of GEORGE the FOURTH ; it is destined for the city of Dublin. M. HORACE VERNET is finishing a painting of the defence made by the Poles before Warsaw, ordered by the Emperor NICHOLAS for the gallery at Zarsko- Zelo. MANCHESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL. The anticipations of a rare treat at Manchester, highly as they have been raised by promises of exertion, have not been disappointed. The Festival commenced on Monday. The interior of the Collegiate Church presented a very grand and beautiful appearance. Accommodations had been provided therein for 3,500 persons, of whom it was hoped 3,000 should be enabled to see the performers in the orchestra, a very great desideratum as well to those who went to see everything that was to be seen as to the dilettanti who could not enjoy the full effect of the music without seeing the performers. For the evening concerts the pit of the Theatre Royal was raised on a level with the stage, and boarded over, and the erection of a large orchestra completely enclosed, in order, accord- ing to the opinion of those learned in acoustics, " to confine the sound." The gigantic plan for the fancy dress ball on Friday night was the theme of universal expectation and admiration. Something like a notion of its vast extent may be formed by imagining three acres of ground laid out for the purpose, and two- thirds of an acre especially for the supper- room ; 7,000 tickets were the limited num- ber to be" disposed of. There were but 1,000 left at the commence- ment of the week ; by Monday night they were all sold ; 10,0001, had been received for the sale of the tickets for the Church and Con- cert performances. Manchester presented the appearance of an uni- versal Carnival, in the midst of which Pleasure had fixed her Court. On every side were to be seen rank, fashion, and beauty — the old' looked young, and the young more lovely. On Monday, the " The Horticultural Show" was opened at the Town Hall. The proceeds, it was announced, were to be appropriated to the general fund for the benefit of the charities. The grand dress ball was opened at nine o'clock at the Assembly Rooms. At twelve o'clock there were between 600 and 700 persons in both rooms. The dresses of the ladies were extremely elegant, and their delicate and handsome figures were ornamented with costly jewellery, a decoration, however, that is quite tmnecessary to th'e interesting, " witches of Lancashire." On Tuesday the first musical performance took place at the Col legiate Church. In the orchestra were 108 instrumental performers, consisting of the organ, by Mr. W. Wilkinson; thirty- eight violins; sixteen tenors, ten violoncellos, ten double basses, four flutes, four oboi, four claironets, four bassoons, six horns, three trumpets, four tromboni, the ophicleide, one drum, and one harp ; and there were 22t chorus singers, exclusive of the number of vocalists of eminence engaged for the occasion. Sir George Smart presided, and the per- formances appropriately commenced with Attwood's Coronation An- them, " O Lord! grant the King a long life," in which the burst of the full orchestra, with the power of the chorus, produced a great im- pression. Haydn's oratorio of The Creation, performed entire, filled up the remainder of the first part. The solo parts were sustained by Madame Caradori Allan, Mrs. II. R. Bishop, Miss Clara Novello, Mrs. W. Knyvett, Braham, II. Phillips, Bennett, and Machin. These distinguished artists, in every instance, did ample justice to the parts assigned to them, and, in some instances outrivalled their former fame. The finished excellencies of Willman's clarionet, Nicholson's flute, Grattan Cooke's oboe, Beaumau's bassoon, Harper's trumpet, and Piatt's horn, were universally admired. The second part of the day's performance consisted of a selection from Mozart's Requiem. The beautiful quartet, from one of the masses of the same great master, ' Bencilictus qui venit in nomine Domini,' was exquisitely given by Madame Caradori Allan, Mrs. Alfred Shaw, Signor Ivanhoff, and Signor Lablache. The next selection was an air from the Redemption of Handel; which, notwith- standing her illness, was performed by Madame Malibran. In the evening there was a concert at the theatre. On Wednesday the selections at the Collegiate Church opened with Handel's overture and dead march to Saul, which was splendidly peformed by the band. In the evening there was again a concert at the Theatre ; but its enjoyment was greatly marred by the serious illness of Madame Malibran, who only made her appearance in the early part of the evening, when she gave the canon from Fidelio. It was too evident that her indisposition was momentarily getting worse, and assuming a more dangerous and decisive character. In this last piece her exertions were prodigious, taking a fearful shake at the top of her voice with her customary daring enthusiasm. The storm of cheering which followed the stupendous essay was still in abated when the unfortunate idol of an enraptured audience, who but a moment before was lighted up with fire and animation, sank in an exhausted state under the effect of her excitement. Medical aid was resorted to, and she was bled in the green- room; and, after the performance was over, was removed in a chair to her hotel. On Thursday Handel's oratorio of the Messiah attracted to the Collegiate Church a most numerous and fashionable assemblage. The number of persons assembled was much more considerable than on any former occasion, and a. great many individuals were compelled to stand during the performance. The crowd in the body of the Church was exceedingly dense, and the whole building presented a very animated spectacle— thus verifying the statement of a writer, " that the Messiah has fed the hungry, clothed the naked, fostered the orphan, and enriched succeeding managers of oratorios more than any single production in this or any other country." The absence of Malibran, however, throw a damp over the enjovments. of the day. On Friday there was another Concert at the Theatre. It was crowded to excess. The indisposition of Malibran caused some alterations injthe scheme, Mrs. Bishop taking her part in the quartet " Mimancalavoce;" Miss Clara Novello in the finale to Fidelio; and Caradori Allan in the duet with Lablache. The solo, " Oh! dolce incanto," was omitted. On Saturday there was another performance at the Collegiate Church, and the Festival terminated with the Fancy Dress Ball, upon a scale of unexampled splendour. Malibran is, we are happy to state, gradually recovering. ST. JAMES'S.— BRAHAM is actively employed for the speedy com- mencementof his season at the St. James's Theatre. H e has engaged Mr. BENNETT ashis first tenor, and itis rumoured that he is in treaty with Mr. LAFFLER, who lias lately succeeded so well at the English Opera House. BRAHAM is at some loss for a lady to take the lead in opera, and within the last few days it has been' mentioned that he has mad* an offer to Miss SHIRREFF, but we think that must be a mistake, as that lady is believed to be under articles to Mr. BUNN. BARNETT, the admirable representative of Monsieur Jacques, who has been playing the part with so much applause and profit in dif- ferent large towns of the provinces, of course returns to the St. James's Theatre. One of the earliest pieces to be brought out is by " Boz," the clever author of the Pickwick Papers. OLE BULL, BOCHSA, CURIONI, and Miss BRUCE have just returned from a most successful tour in the western counties. During their pourney their average receipts have been four hundred and fifty pounds a week. We understand that Mr. STANFIELD has received an offer of Knight- hood, which he has " respectfully" declined. The Annuals, large and little, are sending out their cards of invi- ation for the approaching season. We understand, that as the revenue returns represent the state of the country to be prosperous, the " twelve shilling volumes" are to be replaced by books at a couleof guineas each. We hear of one, the binding of which We have already announced that when an opportunity shall occur, Mr. BRUGES will offer himself oil the Conservative interest. On the other side of the question we hear of several candidates. The names of Lord DUNCAN, ( eldest son of the Earl of CAMPERDOWN) the Mayor of Bath, and Mr. BRIDGES— all three advocating thoroughly radical principles— are mentioned. It will, therefore, bo seen that if we do not get a good Member or Members, it will not, at least, be for lack of aspirants for the favour of the Bath electors.— TWA Chronicle. THE PIKENIX.— It is well known to our readers that this steamer was a very formidable opponent to the Carlists the other day, her " long Tom" dealing out immense slaughter and confusion in their ranks j but, after all, she nearly fell a victim by getting aground in a very awkward position, which the Carlists took advantage of, and opened on her a very galling fire; she, however, fortunately escaped their loving kindness. The Phoenix has since returned to England. A preliminary meeting was held at the Mansion House on Wed- nesday morning for the purpose for making arrangements for calling a public meeting on the subject of erecting an Equestrian Statue in in honour of the Duke of WELLINGTON. The meeting was most numerously and respectably attended; the LORD MAYOR in the chair.— His Lordship opened the business by stating that the present object was to appoint a Provisional Committee to prepare a requisi- tion for a public meeting to adopt measures for erecting an Equestrian Statue in honour of the Hero of Waterloo. It was unnecessary, on that occasion, to allude to the brilliant career of the Illustrious Duke, or to call to mind the services he had rendered his country, as they would be better discussed on a future day,— Several gentlemen wished the requisition to slate that it was intended the proposed Statue should be erected on the Southwark side of London Bridge.— After some discussion, however, the proposition . was withdrawn, the site being left open for consideration at the general meeting.— A Com- mittee of 21 was then appointed, including the Lord Mayor, Alder- men Wood, Scholey, Winchester, Farebrother, Humphery, i. nd Lainson. Mr. Sheriff Salomons, Dr. Golding, C. Barclay, Esq., M. I"., E. Tickner, Esq., — Weston, Esq., — Jones, Esq., W. Simp ion, Esq., & c. & c. A Court of Common Council was held on Thursday, spetially summoned to consider the report of the Committee of the whole Court in relation to the Municipal Institutions of the City of London. The LORD MAYOR, on taking the chair, stated that he had received an answer to the address of the Court to his Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX on the complete restoration of his Royal Highness's sight. The letter was then read, and ordered to be entered on the journals.— At a former meeting, the Committee directed an applica- tion to be made to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, requesting that he would furnish them with a copy of the report of the Corporation Inquiry Commissioners on the Corporation of London at the earliest possible period, and that he would receive a deputation to confer with him previously to the introduction of a Bill for the reform of the Corpora- tion. To this application an answer was returned, stating that Lord JOHN RUSSELL would be happy to confer with a deputation before the introduction of the Bill. No conference, however, had ever taken place, in consequence of the non- presentation of the Report of the Commissioners, but the Committee took into consideration the subject of amending the municipal institutions, and agreed to a num- ber of resolutions, comprehending the changes which appeared to them to be necessary to be made. The Court declined taking the report of the Committee into consideration when it was presented.— Sir C. MARSHALL said, he did not see that any alteration had taken glace in the position of the Court with respect to the question. The ommissionors had not made their report, and no conference had been had with Lord JOHN RUSSELL. He therefore was of opinion, that tho consideration of the report of the Committee should be postponed until the report of the Commissioners should make its appearance. He then proposed a postponement, which was seconded bv Alderman WINCHESTER, and opposed by Mr. STEVENS and Mr. R. TAYLOR, as an attempt to give the go- by to the question altogether. An amend- ment was moved to the effect that the report be taken into conside ration, and each item be considered, but the original motion was carried by a majority of 4, the numbers being, Ayes, 35, Noes, 3J. The Court then broke up. The Central Criminal Session commences to- morrow. The calen- dar is heavy, there being upwards of 300 prisoners for trial. Alderman Kelly will, it is supposed, succeed this year in rotation to the Mayoralty, without any opposition. The Town Council of Salisbury resolved last week to carry on their proceedings with closed doors, and that no reporters for the public press be admitted. An Act of Parliament is to be applied for next session to improve the port and the city of Bristol, and to render the police more effi- cient. It has also been proposed and agreed to, that 2,0001. out of the borough- rate should be appropriated fo the purpose. NEW MUNICIPAL ECONOMY.— The amount of the law bill alone of the town- clerk of the new corporation in the short time since his ap- pointment is nearly 3001.— Stockport Advertiser. THE MORAL M. P.— It is somewhat amusing to witness the eager- ness with which Liberal M. P.' s catch at any excuse to avoid the pay- ment of money. Following the example of Mr. Fowell Buxton, Mr. E. L. Bulwer, at present Member for Lincoln, has refused to subscribe towards improving the races, on the ground that his consti- tuents object to horse- racing! Pretty well this for a " flash," novel writer.— Boston Herald. The Standard says:—" The Venerable Sir GERARD NOEL, the oldest Member, we believe, of the House of Commons, has retired to his cottage ornee, in Exton- park, very near to the edifice once tenanted . by his maternal ancestors, the Earls of Gainsborough, which was partly destroyed by accidental fire 17 years ago."— The Standard omits to tell us what the Venerable Baronet did with the hot ashes ! Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL is but little indebted to the leaders of the party he assumes to protect. The severest comments of the Conser- vative Press fall far short of those of a prime organ of the ultra- radi- cals. The Examiner of last week draws a picture of the demagoguo by no means flattering:— By the showing of this journal, he is a worthless, treacherous, and contemptible poltroon, " whose prompt- ings on one most important occasion, had they been heeded, would have committed the Ministry to an infamy unparalleledand by whom they would have been " disgraced and ruined" if they had unfortunately been " influenced by him." The main object of tho article is, however, to prove that, though the English hate the Irish, they desire that the Irish should have " justice." " We are con- vinced," says the writer, " that what is wanting in sympathy with tho Irish people is made up in antipathy of the things of which they have to complain." Now, if so, there is nothing to " make up;" for there is no such " want of sympathy." Wherever real grievances, troubles, or oppressions have existed, the " sympathy" of the English has inva- riably found vent. WORK FOR THE REVISING BARRISTERS.— There is a list of objections now posted in the Guildhall of Bristol to nine hundred freemen whose names stand on the burgesses' roll. An address of thanks to Sir CHARLES GREVILLE, for his valuable services in Parliament, has been respectably and numerously signed among his constituents in Warwick and its neighbourhood. THE DUBLIN SOCIETY.— We have reason to believe that the Irish Executive Government, in the plenitude of its power, has refused to advance to the Dublin Society any part of the Parliamentary grant of 3,0001., unless the Sociefy shall bow its head to the O'CONNELL dynasty, by acknowledging themselves to be mere trustees of the powers that be. It would indeed be monstrous to suppose that any independent member of the Society could hesitate about the manne in which such a proposition should be treated. Scouted it must and those who have had the audacity to make it will be treated with the contempt they so justly deserve. It will be diflicult to give temperate consideration to the offer of the Government; but that difficulty will be surmounted out of the respect which the members entertain for themselves collectively and individually.— Dublin Packet. Mr. RAIKES CunRiE, the banker, has promised fo come forward I Radical principles for the representation of Northampton, when- ever a vacancy occurs there. The Radicals have been for the last fortnight endeavouring to get up a Radical dinner for Messrs. C. WOOD and PROTHEROE, at Hali- fax, but still require more time, and it is not to jtake place till the last day of the present month, when it is likely to be a failure. Sir THOMAS DICK LAUDER, Bart., is to be appointed the new Lord Provost of Edinburgh. This appointment has created a considera- ble sensation from the circumstance of the Hon. Baronet not being connected with the Corporation, and not even having a residence i* » the city.— Edinburgh Post. The Conservatives of Liverpool intend to start Mr. CANNING, M. P or Warwick, in conjunction with Lord SANDON, as candidates at the' next election.— Liverpool Albion. Mr, ROEBVCK is stated to be suffering from severe indisposition September 18. j o h n b u l l. 307 In consequence; of an anticipated vacancy in the representation of this city, Mr. W. L. BRUGES, of Leamington, met the constituency on Monday and offered himself a candidate.— Bath Gazette. On Monday morning a meeting of Spaniards resident in London was held at the House of Legation, in Welbeck- street, Cavendish- square, for the purpose of swearing to the Spanish Constitution. At the upper end of the room were placed on a table a bible and a cruci- fix. The oath was first administered to the secretary, who knelt down before the crucifix and solemnly swore to maintain the Consti tution. The oath was then put to all the members of the legation, and several Spaniards, at least 100, en masse, and the subsequently severally subscribed their names to a written declaration to the effect of their adhesion to the Constitution of 1812. DEATH OF MB. FOSTER, LATE TOWN CLERK OP LIVERPOOL.— It is with the most poignant concern that we have to annonce the death of Thomas Foster, Esq., so recently the predecessor in office of the pre- sent Town Clerk ot Livorpool. A deeper or more universal regret has seldom been excited than that which the loss of this highly- gifted individual occasions. Nor can any testimony be more gratifying and unequivocal of the estimation in which his character was held than the tone of acute feeling which pervades all classes, and the cordial tribute paid by political opponents as well as by private friends to his talents, and,' above all, to his inflexible honour. This melancholy event took place at Calais, on the 10th inst. To the friends of the Established Church the memory of the late Town Clerk will ever be justly dear. The masterly and successful measure taken by him to secure a permanent provision tor the Clergy of Liverpool ( unassail- able by all the acknowledged skill of his successor) reflects the highest credit upon his professional address, nor less upon the con- scientious conviction which he entertained that in providing for the residence of a respectable body of Clergy within the borough he was securing for his native town the greatest of all blessings. In his con- duct he was highminded; clear iu his judgment, firm in his opinions, and unassuming in his manner. His mode of speaking, like his cha- racter, was plain, direct, and forcible, without a particle of vanity or presumption ; and to this qualification, if we may hazard an opinion, he was perhaps more indebted for consideration than to polished eloquence.— Liverpool Mail, No. I. COUNTY OP CAITHNESS.— We extract the subjoined statement from the Edinburgh Evening Post. A perusal of it will at once show how well- founded are the threats that the Papist and Radical newspapers have for some time held in terrorem over the present Conservative Member, Sir George Sinclair, for having dared to doubt the political honesty of Mr. Daniel O'Connell :— Mr. Sheriff Thomson held a Court for deciding on the claims and objections in the Wich district of the county of Caithness, on Saturday the 3d, and Monday the 5th, and Tuesday the Cth inst. The fol- lowing is the result of the Registrations, which our readers will observe establishes a considerable majority in favour of the Con- servative party:— Conservative claims lodged 23 Of which rejected 5 Continued to Thurso I 6 Conservative enrolments 17 Whig claims lodged 30 Of which rejected 19 Admitted 11 Majority for Conservative interest on the new claims 6 Of objections the Whig party lodged 14 Of which repelled 11 Continued to Thurso 1 12 Whig objections sustained —— 2 Conservative objections 9 Repelled .. .. 1 Sustained 8 Majority on objections .. .. 6 Majority on new claims 6 Total gain by the Conservatives in this district .. 12 The property belonging to the Corporation of Hertford was sold on Saturday last, by public auction, at the Salisbury Arms Inn. The cottages in Butcherly Green fetched good prices, such opportu- nities for obtaining votes for the county being now rare. It was noticed that some of the persons who some time ago claimed this property for the poor of the town of Hertford were the most forward bidders for it at the sale. We understand that the proposal for the sale of the property came from one of the relators in the late suit. At a meeting of the Town Council for the borough of Hertford, held on Wednesday last, a resolution was passed for throwing the Court open to the Burgesses. DECREE OF DON CARLOS.—" Universal Ministry— Department of Grace and Justice.— Royal Decree.— Always desirous of putting a speedy aud happy end to the horrible disasters of the present contest, which is obstinately maintained by a party combating, without any kind of right, that which has incontestably come to me by my crown, and employing all its remaining impiety and ferocity to annihilate, if that were possible, the holy religion of Jesus Christ— to destroy morality— overthrow the principles of social order— lay waste and ruin my beloved country— sacrificing to its frantic and sacrilegious i'ury the ministers of the sanctuary, and the peaceful and honourable inhabitants— my Royal and paternal heart has thought that the best means to allay this effect of the anger of God, so justly ex cited, is humbly to implore his Divine mercy to continue to shed his benedictions on my army and all my faithful subjects. In consequence, I order that in all the Churches of the kingdom, which are not under the yoke of the usurpation, public and secret prayers be put up, invoking the power- ful intercession of the Holy Virgin, under whose guardianship, by tile special title of I' ir'jiu tie los I have placed, and again place, my army, and the whole kingdom.— I, the KINO.— Given at Aspeitia, August25.— To Don Juan Battis Phare.) iattista de Erro."—( From the ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE.

Preiate was accompanied by all the Clergy of the dl . by, an immense number of gentlemen. His Majesty has directed 200 free sittings to be erected, at his own expense, in the parish Church at Kew, for the accommodation of the poor and the children of the Free School there. Sir THEODORE BROADHEAD, Bart., of Camps Mount, near Doncas- ter, has contributed one hundred guineas towards the erection of t new Church at Monk Brelton, near Barnsley; and his Grace the Arcbishop of YORK has also contributed 1001. for the same purpose of erecting aChurch ill a portion of his diocese so destitute of spiritua superintendence connected with the Church of England. The Lord Bishop of BATH and WELLS will shortly convene a meet- ing, for the purpose of fixing on an eligible spot to erect anew Church at Taunton, the expense to be defrayed by voluntary subscriptions. The Church at Malvern was crowded to excess on Sunday, when the powerful and eloquent appeal made by the Bishop of LONDON on behalf of the Sunday Schools in that parish, had the effect of pro ducing the very handsome collection of 901. A most gratifying tribute of respect has just been paid by the parishioners of Sutton, in the Isle of Ely, to their late worthy Curate, the Key. HICKS DEACLE. A handsome piece of plate was presentee to him after a residence of fifteen years amongst them; aud it is with justice we add, this testimony of their friendship was raised by a voluntary subscription from all classes. On Tuesday, an elegant silver inkstand was presented by the pupils of the Sheffield Grammar School, to the Rev. PERCIVAL BOWEN, M. A., Head Master, in token of the high esteem in which he is held by them as a Christian, a pastor, and a scholar. On Tuesday week, the inhabitants of the pleasant little village of Eltham met for the purpose of commemorating the anniversary of the ministry of their highly respected Vicar, the Rev. J. K. SHAW BROOKE, who attained the fiftieth year of his pastorship in 1833. We understand that in several parts of the North of England the Evangelical Clergy have commenced a system of out- of- door preach- ing.— Christian Advocate. CLERGY SOCIETY.— On Wednesday the Bristol ClergySociety met their President, Mr. SERJEANT LUDLOW, and accompanied him to the Cathedral, where an excellent and appropriate sermon was deli- vered by the Rev. ARTHUR LUDLOW, son of the President. The sum of 371. 3s. 6d. was collected at the Church doors, for the benefit of Clergymen's daughters. The Society afterwards dined together at the White Lion, and were favoured with the company of his Grace the Duke of BEAUFORT and Lord SEGRAVE, besides other distin guished individuals of the niglibourhood. The Rev. Dr. ALLEN, of Winterbourne, officiated as one of the Stewards, in place of the late Bishop. A very kind and affectionate letter was read from the Bishop of GLOUCESTER, expressive of the pleasure he anticipated; when the Sees should be united, of being associated with so laree a portion of his brethren.— CHARLES L. WALKER, Esq., and the Rev, R. G. BEDFORD, were chosen Stewards for the year ensuing. The Clergy in Truro and the neighbourhood have commenced the formation of a library of professional literature. We understand that the subscriptions will be very low, as the object is the gradual accumulation of standard theological works, which are not generally to be met with in private libraries.— Western Luminary. It is at all times painful to us to censure the conduct of a Clergy- man, themore especially because unthinking people generally ascribe to the Establishment tliat which is, in fact, but the misconduct of the individual. We have heard the question asked in many places, " Why is not a Church- rate carried in Boston ?" To which we reply, that a rate would have been granted long before this but for the un- accountable conduct of the Reverend Incumbent himself, in appoint- ing as his churchwarden an individual who, however estimable he may be in private life, is peculiarly obnoxious in a public point of view to a vast majority of the Churchmen in the town. Mr. STANI- LAND openly avows himself an advocate for the " voluntary prin ciple." and as the Vicar is pleased to select him as his representative in Church affairs, it would appear that the two gentlemen entertain similar opinions on this important subject; but, of course, such a coincidence is utterly impossible. At a former vestry the objections to Mr. S. were publicly stated, 8nd the Rev. Incumbent pledged him- self not to re- appoint him as his churchwarden. The friends of the Church then exerted themselves; the parish was polled; and after a contest of some days' duration, there appeared a considerable majo- rity in favour of the rate. Thus far all went well, and there was some rejoicing that the Rev. Gentleman had, from a sense of what was due to his congregation, consented to sacrifice his personal pre- dilections; but, to the astonishment of those who heard the pledge given, Mr. STANILANO was again nominated Vicar's Churchwarden, and lias continued to act in that capacity ever since. When the Rev. Gentleman shall please to redeem his promise, a rate will be granted immediately. He has it in his power to obey the directions of his superiors in the Church, and to gratify his congregation at the same time ; or, by persisting in his present course, he may continue the distress of the poor men who remain unpaid— he may leave undone the necessary repairs of the sacred fabric— and he may please those Dissenters who aim at the destruction of the Church. The Rev. Gentleman has his choice, and we heartily wish he may obey the dictates of the kind and liberal heart which, as a Christian Minister, we cannot doubt he possesses, instead of listening to the interested advice of evil councillors, by whom he is misled.— Boston Herald. Much excitement has prevailed for the last week or two at Horn castle, in consequence of the refusal of the parishioners in vestry to grant a rate for the necessary expenditure of the Church. The in- fluential inhabitants, being averse to attend Vestry Meetings, where, of late, anything but sober discussion and calm reasoning has pre- vailed, determined not to be overborne by a mere show of numbers, and demanded a poll. This commenced on Friday evening, was ad- journed till Monday, and continued till Wednesday noon, when it finally closed; the numbers being- 242 for the rate, and 270 against it. Leaving a majority of 28 iu favour of its opponents. IVhy are you a Churchman ?— Let the friends of the late WILLIAM COBBE'TT answer the question.—" I was," says Mr. Cobbett, a sin- cere Churchman— because experience had convinced mi; that an uni- formity in the religion of a country was a most desirable thing; be- cause it was reasonable and just that those who liad neither house nor land, and who were the millions of a country, and perfurmejl all its useful labours, should have a Church, a Church- yard, a Minis- ter of Religion, and all religious services performed for them at the expense of those who did possess the houses and the land. In a word, in the Church and its possessions I saw the patrimony of the working people who had neither house nor land of their own private property An Established Church— a Church Establishment on Christian prin- ciples— is this, it provides an edifice sufficiently spacious for the as- sembling of the people in every parish— it provides a spot for the in- terment of the dead— it provides a teacher of religion to officiate in the sacred edifice— to go to the houses of the inhabitants— to adminis- ter comfort to the distressed— to counsel the wayward— to teach children their duty towards God, their parents, and their country— ( hence our parish schools) to perform the duties of marrying, bap- tizing, and burying ; and particularly to initiate children in the first principles of religion and morality, and to cause them to " commu- nicate," that is to- say, by an outward mark— to become members of the true Church of Christ." On Wednesday next, the 21st inst., being St. Matthew's Day, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Governors of the several Royal Hospi- tals, according to annual custom, will attend Divine Service at Christ's Church, Newgate- street. After a sermon by the Rev. John T. WHITE, B. A., of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, they will repair to the Great Hall in Christ's Hospital, where two Orations will be delivered ; that in Latin by JOSEPH HARIIISS, and that in English by JOHN WARD SPENCER, the two senior scholars of the Grammar School. We learn, says the Bucks Herald, that the Lord Bishop of the diocese has refused to confirm the election of the Rev. J. MORLEY, Vicar of Aylesbury, to the Chaplaincy of the Aylesbury Union, iu consequence of an application made a short time since by the Rev. Vicar to the Bishop to be allowed a second Curate, in consequenee of his inability justly to discharge his clerical duties, through age and growing infirmities. His Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY completed the quadren- nial visitation of his diocese, at Maidstone, on Saturday last. After having taken the circuit of the other Deaneries during the preceding fortnight, his Grace held Confirmations at Tenterden and Cranbrook on Friday, and, attended by his Chaplain and Secretary, arrived at The Mote, the mansion of the Earl of ROMNEY, at five o'clock that evening, where the Marquess of CAMDEN, Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL, M. P., and several of the neighbouring Clergy, were invited to meet the Archbishop, and to partake of the hospitality of the Noble Earl. The Archbishop slept at The Mote on Friday night, and on Saturday his Grace held a visitation at Maidstone. In the course of hiscliargo the Right Rev. Prelate recapitulated the chief parts of the report of the Ecclesiastical Commission of Inquiry, and also those of the Bills which lie had introduced for the diminution of pluralities and non- residence, and the providing a tribunal for punishing the crimes of the Clergy ; and expressed a hope that these Bills might yet be adopted, as the hoads of the Church were anxious to remove every abuse and luwinaly, as it was the opinion of the Commissioners that the Church ciuld not long remain in its present state without some danger. They preferred a course that they considered would be likely to pro- duce a permanent reformation, in preference to adopting the schemes of speculative innovators. They had recommended reductions in the expenses of Cathedrals and Collegiate Churches, which would place at tlieir disposal, for the augmentation of small livings, the sum of 130,0001., without diminishing the magnificence and solemnity of the Cathedral service. About 3- 8ths of the net revenue of the chapters would thus be appropriated to increasing the utility of the establish- ment in parochial duties in small livings. This diversion of a large amount of property from its original us^ s could only be justified by necessity. In allusion to the large income of other offices in the Church, they had effected much good, by operating as inducements to wealthy families to educate their children for the Church, which had much promoted the practice of religion • and virtue among the higher classes of society. The proposed arrangements respecting the Bishopricks would also much remove the usual inducements to translations. After exhorting the Clergy to promote subscriptions for founding new places of worship, his Grace defended the sale of next presentations, as it ena bled persons of wealthy and respectable families to secure, liiings, and bring their talent_ into the service of the Church. After a few remarks on the political speculations of infidels and re- volutionists, who, he said, were opposed to the Chnrch, he added, that the Establishment had no cause of alarm, notwithstanding the storms that had burst over the heads of their " unoffending brethren in Ireland." In the course of his charge the Archbishop made some pointed remarks on the propriety of Clergymen abstaining not only from criminality and frivolous pursuits, hut also of avoiding all suspi- cion of criminality, as individual instances of delinquency inflicted incalculable injury on the character of the Church; adding, that he believed no body of men, however, were more free from criminality than the Clergy. He also anticipated that the new laws relative to the registry of births, deaths, and marriages would induce many to negli"- t the sacrament of baptism, and avail themselves of ( qu. ?) the rel:' gi » ui ceremony of marriage; and urged the Clergy to be more tbi n a > ually careful in urging upon their parishioners the necessity of attending to those religious ceremonies.— The services of the day being concluded, the Archbishop retired to the Star Inn, where he transacted diocesan business with those of the Rev. Gentlemen who requested a private audience. At three o'clock he entertained the Clergy at dinner, and departed at six in the evening for Addington- park, Surrey, his Grace's country residence. A TITHE" DISPUTE.— A considerable sensation has recently been excited in the agricultural district east of Wakefield by a dispute as to tithe, the termination of which has been regarded as a triumph on the part of the farmers. The disputants were Mr. C. WINN, of Nostell- liall, and Mr. J. LINDLEY, of Altofts. Mr. WINN claimed the tithe in kind; and the question arose upon the mode of taking it on two fields of fallow wheat on Featherstone- common of about 23 acres. The tithe- owner insisted on his right of carrying every tenth shock, or stack ; on the other hand, the tenant denied that he was bound to shock the wheat, and was desirous that the tithe should be taken on every tenth sheaf. A great many messages passed between them, but both parties were equally firm in maintaining their rights. The dispute was the talk of the whole country- side, and every person was anxious to render assistance. Mr. LINDLEY, however, at length out generalled the tithe- owner, for, the wheat having been cut, he went into the field at half- past four in the morning, with seventeen vehicles and forty- four persons, to take away the whole of the stacks, leaving the odd sheaves. At five minutes past five the word was given, and in less than twenty minutes the carts with the corn were all on the road. A thousand assistants might have been had at half an hour's notice if they had been required, so strong was the feeling on behalf of the farmer as opposed to the tithe- owner. The tithe- waggons did not arrive until after the clearance, and consequently did not carry off a single whole stack. ST. OLAVE'S SOUTHWARK.— Tuesday a vestry of the parishioners of St. Olave's, Southwark, was held at the workhouse, in Parish- street, pursuant to adjournment, for the completion of various public affairs which had been postponed since the lastmeeting-. Mr. PAURLETT, a county Magistrate, was in the' chair. It was resolved that it was expedient to effect an insurance on the parish Church against fire, the Church itself for 5,0001., and the property of the parish contained in it for 1,0001. The erection of the Church of St. Olave's cost 7,0001. in the year 173t>, when it was rebuilt from the ruins of the old struc- ture, which fell in a very few months previously. A gentleman wished to know whether 15 guineas a- year, which was the sum to be paid for the insurance, should be deducted from the poor- rates. The vestry- clerk said that such a course could not be thought of, for it would bo contrary to law, but that it should come out of the Church- rates, or be raised by a rate expressly levied for that purpose, which would not exceed a farthing in the pound for each householder. Some other business of no public importance was then dispatched, and the meeting was adjourned. We gladly borrow the following from the Morning Post:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING POST. Cambridge, Sept. 12. Sir,— I have great pleasure in communicating to you the following particulars relating to the erection of Churches, a subject to which you have already directed the attention of your readers :— The new Chnrch at Hillsborough, county of Down, was erected at the sole expense of the Earl of HILLSBOROUGH, the newly- elected M.

Many of these Churches are of splendid archi- tecture, and have added new and interesting features to the country. If you think these notices deserving of insertion in your Protestant and most valuable journal you will much oblige Your obedient servant and constant reader, A CHURCHMAN. * Built l, y the Misses Harrison, t Built ami endowed by John Jarret, Esq.

STOCK EXCHANGE.— SATURDAY EVENING. There has been some fluctuation in the Consul Market since our last, and on Thursday Consols for Money were done as low ,-. s S9& and for the Account 89%, but the result of the Bank Meeting causec a considerable restoration of confidence, and the price for theAccount was 90J£. The intelligence from Portugal received to- day caused a reaction in the Money Market, and the price of the Account at the close of business was S9&. Exchequer Bills since our hist have been at par to 2 pin., but since the Bank Meeting they have advanced to 3 to 5 pm.; India Bonds are at 5 to 3 dis. with a dull Market. In the Spanish and Portuguese Market there has been a complete pauic; Portuguese Five per Cents., on the announcement of the promulgation of the Constitution of 1S20 at Lisbon, fell to 58, and at the close the price Wiis 57 ' A this afternoon. The Spanish Bonds have been affected in n corresponding extent, the Active Stock is at 27X, the Deferred at 11 Si, and the Passive at 8^, and they closed very flat at these quotations. A communication was made known at the Stock Exchange from the Portuguese Legation to- day, an- nouncing that the whole of the contracts entered into by the Portu guese Government with the British creditors will be punctually ful- filled. The Transatlantic Bonds are dull at 44 to 45 for Chilian ; 24 X for Columbian ; and25 to 26' for Mexican. The Northern Bonds are on the decline, Dutch Five per Cents, are 101%, and Two- and- a- Half per Cents. 52^ ; Russian at 107%; and Belgian at 101. The Share Market is entirely deserted.

Sebastian of the 5th inst., and are sorry to learn from a well- informed officer, that the greatest dissatisfaction prevails in the Le- gion. Money was not to be had, and six months' pay was in arrear. The Legion is so much reduced in numbers and efficiency, and in officers, of skill and experience, that it is hardly worth commanding- Besides General Shaw, whose resignation was the subject of univer- sal regret, the gallant Colonel Kinloch, who commanded the cavalry, as well as other officers, had tendered their resignations, and were about to return to England through France. The general feeling in the Legion— and especially among the officers— is, that they are_ tired of wasting their time unprofitable', and have now no expectation of seeing service. The Paris 1' apershave arrived in due course. The Money Market in tli. it capital was much agitated on Thursday, and tliere were rumours that the Muniteur was quite as likely to announce the re- signation of the Ministry as its completion. A Minister of War has not yet been found. POLICE INTELLIGENCE— SATURDAY. MANSION- HOUSE.— LATE FORGERY ON THE BANK OF ENGLAND.— Mr. Peacock, the solicitor, was brought up at this office to- day be- fore the Lord Mayor, and fully committed tor trial. The particulars of this case have already been before the public, and may be briefly told. Mr. Peacock was a joint trustee in an ac- count for the sum of 7,000/. Three per Cent. Consols, and in De- cember, 1835, he is stated to have forged a power of attorney, by m? ans of which the stock was sold out. By some chance his co- trustee discovered what had taken place, and gave information against him, and Mr. Peacock was accordingly arrested in his own office, ill Cliancery- lane. As the law at present stands, the only forgeries now punished with death are those committed on powers of attorney and wills. HATTON GARDEN.— STRANG ® CONDUCT.— Mr. John Withers Powell, No. 7, Rufford's- row, Islington, was brought before Mr. Bennett, charged with wilfully breaking the window of a hackney coach. The prisoner, it may be recollected, was charged about ten days ago, before Mr. Laing, with creating a disturbance in Brook- street, Holborn. by whom he was ordered to find bail. In his defence he then statea, that while passing quietly along the street, from Mr. Chitty's chambers, he was molested by a fellow who had been opposed to him in an election for a Member of Parliament, and who bellowed out after him, " Who stole the Donkey," which occasioned a number of persons to assemble about him. He also said, that he was formerly a Coroner for Kent, but having come into the possession of it handsome fortune he had resigned that situation, and entered himself a Student of Gray's Inn, aspiring to shine at the bar. His conduct was extremely violent in Mr. Laiug's presence, and that was the reason of his being ordered to find sureties to keep the peace. In the present ca- e it appeared from the statement of William Harrison, the driver of the hackney coach, No. 983, that on Friday evening, the prisoner got into his carriage at Islington, and ordered liim to drive to Gray's Inn Coffee- house. On the way to the latter place, the defendant look out one of the coach windows and flung it into the street, and afterwards made him drive him back. On the coach stand near Islington toll- gate, the accused again directed him to convey liim to the above Coffee- house, where, on being set. down, he refused to pay the fare, or for the window, on I he ground that wit- ness was not his servant, therefore, he was given in charge. Mr. Bennett ( to the defendant)— Have you anything to say to the charge ? Defendant— Certainly, The window was shaking about, and as I saw it was of no use 1 threw it away. Mr. Bennett— Well, you must pay the man. What do you call yourself? Defendant— I am studying for the bar. Mr. Bennett— Waddington the gaoler must have charge of you till you have paid for the window and the fare. Ilave you any friends here ? Defendant— I have plenty of friends, but I see none here. How- ever, I can trust myself anywhere with Waddingfon. Waddington, in reply to Mr. Bennett, said that he would see the coachman paid his demand, and the defendant left the Magistrates' room to manage the matter with the gaoler. MARTIN'S COLONIALJL1BRARY.

CORONER'S INQUEST. — LAMENTABLE SUICIDE.— Yesterday Mr. Baker, the Coroner, and a respectable Jury, assembled at tin; White Hart, Tottenham, to investigate concerning the melancholy death of Air. James Llewellyn. It transpired that the decease 1 had for many years kept an extensive iron foundry in Cow- cross, St. Sepulchre's Without, and that divers mi- fortunes drove him, about twelve mouths ago, to seek relief under the bankrupt law, and his estate realised 19s. fid. in the pound. His failure preyed heavily upon his mind, notwithstanding numerous friends rallied round him, offering to establish him once more in business; and of lale his relations and acquaintances had seen, with deep regret, that his intellect had become impaired. Every care and attention was paid to him, but on Thursday last he managed to leave his house unnoticed, and wandered to Tottenham, where he was seen by some children by the side of the River Lea, nnd heard to say, alter throwing his hat into the water, " Shall I follow it » " and the same moment he plunged in. The children made an alarm, and the body was soon found ; but all attempts to restore animation were fruitless. Verdict—" The de- ceased destroyed himself while of un- onnd mind." On Friday " morning, about eight o'clock, as a boy was leading a cart drawn by a horse, and loaded with loam, along the tram- road, on the London and Southampton Railway, and which was being taken for the purpose of forming the mound that is to traverse liattersea- fields, on which the permanent railroad is to be formed, he had his leg cut off under the following distressing circumstances:— The lad, whose name is Wm. Wright, and who is near 17 years of age, was on the near side of the horse, close to the slope at the edge ofthe mouud, and a lad was on the off side. The boys being ready to unhook the chain traces of the horse from the cart just previous lo the cart going off by its own impetus towards the termination of the mound where the earth is tipped over, the poor boy, after having unhooked his trace, let it drop, when the hook unfortunately catching his boot, dragged his leg across the tramway, and the cart, which contained above a In Octavo, price 9s., BISSERTATION Oil the PROGRESS of ETHICAL PHILO- SOPHY, chiefly during Ihe 17th and 18lh Centuries.
