MUSIC. — J. BOTTOMLEY, Organist, Sheffield, respectfully informs the Public that they have now an opportunity of becoming ac- quainted with his New, and, he flatters himself, Improved System of Practice and Tuition, upon terms more easy than those which were proposed in his former Advertisement. Having with . studied brevity, yet with sufficient clearness, ex- plained his System in a thin Quarto Volume, he hopes that its wide circulation may yield him that remuneration which he thinks due to Discoveries so important and beneficial. To PROFESSORS.— To Professors of the Pianoforte, the System will be found of inconceivable value, since it clearly shows how Proficiency may be ob- tained with less than half the usual application, and at the same time with a degree of pleasure which perhaps has not before been experienced. From a peculiar arrangement, it will plainly appear, that, the entire circle of Musical pursuits, together with the attainment of New Compositions, and an enlarged Reading of Music, Instrumental and Vocal, maybe accomplished by the daily application of half an hour. When, however, the Professor may have more time at command, the manner of employing it to the greatest advantage is also indi- cated. With a view to facilitate reading, and consequently to obtain celerity in Mu- sical attainments, J. B. has particularly directed his attention to Sight- Playing; and has so far succeeded as confidently to assert, that whoever has been educated fjom an early age on this Plan, will in a few years perform with facility and cor- rectness any Music that the Author has hitherto seeu. These effects could not, of course, be produced on the present mode of Fingering: he has, therefore, in- vented one dependant only upon six easy Rules, and which, without the necessity of thought or contrivance, will meet every difficulty that can be presented. The Inventor, aware that prejudice cannot easily be removed, recommends this Method to proceed alternately with the one now in use : and is happy to observe, that as it imparts strength and flexibility to the fingers, it will wonderfully accelerate the progress of the Student. Under that part of the work which treats of Tuition, the Master will secure the rapid advancement of his Pupil, and even considerable progress where there is a total want of application. It is almost needless to re- mark, that with a slight modification, the observations throughout the work will prove equally useful to Professors of various Instruments, and of every depart- ment of the Science. To AMATEURS.— From the careful perusal of this work, Amateurs will derive immense advantage ; and no doubt, whatever may have been the Instru- ment selected, will immediately adopt a new mode of Practice, as efficient as it will prove , delightful. To those who cultivate Singing, the observations under that head are particularly recommended ; where voice and taste are. united, they will infallibly produce a fine Performer. All letters enclosing a Sovereign, the price of the Volume, will receive imme- diate attention ; and in order that the book may be duly forwarded, a particular direction is requested. In many instances, it may probably be the most eligible plan for the correspondent to " appoint some place in London to which the book may be transmitted. ARBLE WORKS, by PATENT MACHINERY.— The Pub- lic are invited to VIEW the extensive SHOW- ROOM fitted up by the LONDON MARBLE and STONE WORKING COMPANY, containing the greatest variety of Chimnev- pieces, Tables, Wash- hand Stands, and Shop- counters; MONUMENTS, " TABLETS, Baths, and all articles of Marble Works finished in a superior manner.

An inspection of Mr. Howard's method'will immediately convince those at all acquainted with the subject of its superiority. Tender and decayed l'eeth cured and effectually pre- served from further decay.— At home from ten till four. ^ REiG THOMSON, Surgeon- Dentist, 25, New Bond- street, ^ OST returns thanks for the confidence and support which he has received since publicity has been given to his improvement in Gold Stopping for filling decayed Teeth, which, without inflicting the least pain, effectually arrests the progress of decay, and resembles the natural tooth more nearly than any invention now in use. Gratified, however, as he must be at the signal success w; hich has attended his invention, he can scarcely feel less so at having been instrumental in undeceiving the public with regard to those high- sounding advertisements with which the press used formerly to teem; and, in order to keep them on their guard on a subject which so nearly concerns their personal comfort, he takes the liberty of repeating the simple facts he originally stated,—" Gold is the only material with which decayed teeth can be filled with any permanently beneficial" result, the va- rious cements to which so many impossibilities are attributed being amalgums of mercury with silver, tin, & c., quickly combine with the acids of the mouth, and thus forming muriates of those metals, turn the teeth black, and ultimately destroy them."— Greig Thomson continues to. perform all the operations of Dental Surgery, and to fix Natural and Artificial Teeth upon the most improved principles combined with the utmost moderation of terms.

An Act having been obtained in the last Session of Parliament for the forma- tion of a Main Trunk Line of Railway from London to Dover, passing through the centre of Kent, affording facilities of communication, by means of branches, to the principal towns and watering- places in the county, the present Company is formed in connexion with ' hat of the South- Eastern Railway, to construct a line from Ashford to Canterbury, Ramssrate, and Sandwich. In bringing forwaid this measure, it is right to advert to two projects which are before the public— viz., the Kent Railway and the Central Kentish Railway, proposing to construct, intetral lines from Greenwich to nearly the same points. The length of the Kent Railway, from Greenwich to Bamsgate, is 70 miles 11 chains, that of ( he Central Kentish Railway to Sandwich is 80 miles 55 chains. Without entering into the merits or demerits of either of these Lines, it is sufficient to notice the improbability of the Legislature'sanctioning a second, line to Dover or to Ashford, after having granted in the last Session an Act to the South- Eastern Company for the formation of a Railroad to both those towns, and the probability of its rather encouraging the formation of Lines proceeding from main trunks for which Acts have already been obtained. The course adopted is by the Valley of the Stour, which presents every facility forthe formation of a Railway. The distance from Ashford by Canterbury to Ramsgate by this Line is 28 miles 73 chains, and the Branch to Sandwich is 4 miles 27 chains. The gradients are of the most favourable description, in no case exceeding 1 in 330, or 16 feet per mile, and two thirds of the whole Line are level. The cost is only about one- fourth of that of an independent Line from London. The journey from London to Canterbury, by the South- Eastern Railway, will be performed iu three hours, that to Ramsgate and Sandwich. in about three hours and a half. A junction will be made at Canterbury with the Whitstable Railway, by means of which the Northern Coast of the County will be connected with Ashford, Tun- bridge, and the Weald of Kent; and by the South- Eastern Brighton Line a com- munication by Railway will be opened between Ramsgate, Canterbury, and Brighton. The Provisional Directors, in presenting this Line to public notice, invite at- tention to the following facts:— That only 33)^ miles of Railway are required; and that the same may be ob- tained at an expense not exceeding 500,0001. That the unnecessary intersection of the country by long lateral Lines is alto- gether avoided. That no engineering difficulties or interference with ornamental properties occur in the line. That ihe communication with Canterbury, Bamsgate, and Sandwich is fur- nished by means of Railways which have already received the sanction of Par- liament. " The Provincial Directors have the satisfaction to announce that the Plans and Sections have been deposited, and the standing orders of Parliament complied with. The Prospectus and further information may be obtained of Messrs. Clutton and Fearon, Temple; and Messrs. Vaux and Fennell, Bedford- row; and at the following agents in the country, viz. :- Messrs. King and Snowden, Ramsgate Mr. D. Sladden, Canterbury Mr. W. H. Waterman, Ashford Messrs. Newington and Stenning, Tun- bridge Mr. C. Willis, jun., Cranbrook Messrs. Shipdem and Ledger, Dover Messrs.

" 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 other Offices, and lives avowedly diseased. To this unprecedented but most useful business, it was at 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 otheTOffice ; and by thus ringing changes on equivalents, holds out attractions well suited to the taste and circumstances of the public at- the present day."

Alternative of paying only two- thirds of even premium'on life insurances, the balances to be deducted from the sum assured. Ascending scale of premium, beginning at a very low rate, and progressing after seven years. Descending scales of premium, to commence at aprice, and continue for aterm, to suit the convenience of parties. DOMESTIC INSURANCES. Select lives at very low rates. Persons under chronic disease, peculiar form, in pregnancy, and in old age. To cover Bills of Exchange and Credits, without appearance of or reference to the parties whose lives are to be assured.

Officers whose destinations are not known, covered to all parts of the world at a small but fixed extra rate of premium. TO EQUITABLE POLICY HOLDERS. The 5,000 favoured Members of the Equitable Society who live until January, 1840, will have further large additions to their Policies.— The representatives of those who die previously would merely obtain a return for the current years of the Decennial peripd.— To facilitate the Policy holders the Asylum grant Assurances, for the whole of Jife, for a smaller advance of money than is necessary for a term of three years in the generality of offices.

Fuller Maitland, Esq. Peter Martineau, Esq. The Directors of this Society give notice that they are now preparedto effect. In- surances 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 tbeir Scale of Premiums will be found to be as beneficial to the publi « as that of any other Company, which i8 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 considera- ble 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. A Court of Directors is held every Tuesday at Twelve o'clock precisely, at which the person whose life is proposed to be insured by the Society, is expected to ap- pear ; but for the convenience of females, and persons residing in the country, the Directors have the power to dispense with such appearance. The usual commission will be given to professional men and others who may be able to promote the interests of the Office. The following brief extract from the Tables, will give an idea of the scale of annual premiums charged. NON- MEMBER'S RATES. For the Insurance of ^ 100 on a Single Life, for the whole term of Life.

FOR the HAIR.— Patronised by the Royal Family and Nobility, DAWSON'S AUXILIAR, a pure vegetable compound for restoring the hair from baldness or greyness, however extreme, removing the dandriff, making harsh and stubborn hair soft, glossy, and gracefully curly.

Copy the address— 40, Holborn- hill. ^ TIRLING REES' ESSENCE.— Its vast and increasing sale, from the recommendation of the highest medical characters, as well as those who have experienced its salubrious and beneficial effects, proves its great success and decided superiority over every other preparation, in being the most safe, speedy, and effectual remedy ever discovered for the cure of that particular class of Diseases, for which those uncertain and dangerous Medicines— Copaiba and Mercurials- have hitherto generally been employed. It frequently performs a perfect Cure in the short space of three or four days, and may be taken by the most delicate of either sex, without fear of taking cold. It contains, in a highly- concentrated state, all the efficacious parts of the Cubeb, chemically combined with Sarsapa- rilla, Buchu, and other Alteratives, which render it invaluable to those afflicted with secondary symptoms, pains in the bones and loins, rheumatism and gout, ulcers, pimples, blotches, scrofulous and scorbutic eruptions, glandular swellings of the neck, & c., and all diseases arising from a tainted or impure state of the blood. In cases of debility, tabes dorsalis, diabetes, wasting, palsy, and nervous depression of spirits, it has been taken with the most decided benefit. A regular perseverance in its use has invariably been fonnd to improve the appetite, assist the digestive powers, andgivs muscular strength, energy, and vigorous health to the whole system. It has proved an excellent restorative to cases where the con- siitution has been weakened by gout, excesses, hot or unhealthy climates, or the injudicious use of mercurials, & c. & c. In all kinds of relaxation and weakness in either sex it is the best, if not the only Temedy.— Prepared only by the Proprietor J. W. STIRLING, Chemist, 86, High- street, Whitechapel. In Bottles at4s. 6d. 10s., and 20s. FRANKS'S SPECIFIC SOLUTION of COPAIBA— a certain and most speedy CURE for all URETHRAL DISCHARGES, Gleets, Spasmodic Strictures, Irritation of the Kidneys, Bladder, Urethra, and Prostate Gland. TESTIMONIAL. From Joseph Henry Green, Esq., F. R. S., one of the Council of the Royal College of Surgeons, Surgeon to St. Thomas's Hospital, and Professor of Surgery in King's College, London. " I have made trial of Mr. Franks's Solution of Copaiba, at St. Thomas's Hos- pital, in a variety of cases of discharges in the male and female, and the results warrant my stating, that it is an efficacious remedy, and one which does not pro- duce the usual unpleasant effects of Copaiba.

FRANCE.— The Paris Journals are chiefly occupied with1 the dis- cussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the Address, in answer to the King's Speech on opening the legislative- session, and with the trials before the Court of Assizes at Strasburg. The debate upon the Address has proved less favourable to the Ministers than was antici- pated. An amendment, moved by Odilon Barrot, was carried by a majority of 189 to 181. The amendment was as follows :—" The repose of Euiope will never be more forcibly guaranteed than when it shall be founded on respect for rights consecrated by treaties'; among these rights France will ever place in the first rank those of the antique Polish nationality." The announcement of the victory of the Opposition was followed by loud and long- continued cheering. The 4th paragraph, which related to the affair with the United States of America, tiaving been adopted without discussion, the Pre- sident read the 5th, which was couched in these terms r—" A mo- mentary difference troubled, without destroying, the ancient alliance which united France with Switzerland. The satisfactory explana- tions we have received have re- established a good understanding be- tween the two countries which," See. On this paragraph a most animated debate arose, founded upon the general and received impression that Conseil, who ligured in the affair, had been a spy of the French police, and upon the admission of that fact in the Committee on the Address by M. Gasparin. The paragraph was ultimately carried by an apparently large majority. The discussion of the paragraph respecting Spain was then intro- duced by Count Mole. M. Thiers made an able speech, contending that France was in every point of view bound to send an army into Spain. The debate was adjourned to Monday, when M. Passy jus- tified the conduct of the late Cabinet of which he had been a Member in regard to Spain. M. Guizot declared himself decidedly against intervention, and stated that the French Government had expressed its determination to refuse aid, or co- operat- in the affairs of Spain : there was no indifference on the part of France ; but there were necessities for France as well » s foi; Spain, and the Government could not place themselves without thepale of those lawswliich they meant to maintain. The debate was resumed on Tuesday, when the legi- MISCELLANEOUS. We understand there have been more copies sold of the January number of Fraser's Magazine, than of any former month. A second edition of this uncompromising periodical has been just announced ; and we warmly congratulate our Conservative readers on the success of that cause which Regina has clung to from evil days, till dawning prosperity has rewarded her adherence. THE GAMBLER'S DREAM.— There is much speculation afloat about this publication, which is said to be a novel that will be as favourably received and read by the ladies as it will be feared and rejected by their lords. Its title would fix upon it an exclusive interest with the latter; but it possesses, like the play of the Gamester, many domestic scenes of fearful interest to the former. The Gambler's Dream will, moreover, suddenly uncover to their view other and stranger fancies, follies, and vices of their lords than gambling; and the narratives are said to be wrought out with great effect by a " very curious but somewhat similar agency to that employed by Lesage in his celebrated Diable Boiteux. LITERARY NOVELTIES.— Among the new publications issued during the past week we observe are a series of prose sketches, entitled, Flittings of Fancy, by Mr. Sullivan, the author of two of the most • beautiful poems of their kind that have appeared since the Gertrude of Wyoming, of Mr. Campbell, his intimate friend. These sketches will afford much pleasure to the lovers of elegant literalure. Capt. Scott's Rambles in Egypt and Candia are also just published. This work is one of great value, as presenting a correct picture of the existing state of things in Egypt, and the public will be much entertained by Capt. Scott's interesting account of its present ruler, Mohammed Ali. A new work of fiction, by the authoress of Flirtation (( he Lady Charlotte Bury), is announced to appear in a few days; it is entitled The Divorced. The more delicate the beauty of a female, the more susceptible is it to the effects of our rigid winters. The fine skin of England's lovely women is not calculated to withstand exposure to their own climate, without the assistance of some soothing application to allay the smarting irritability produced by the action of a wintry atmo- sphere. No discovery has effected this purpose except Rowland's Kalydor, the application of which not only removes the tenderness of skin produced by cold, but all cutaneous eruptions. In addition to these advantages, by imparting a pliancy to the surface, which is delightful and luxurious to the sensation, it decidedly prevents the skin from being susceptible to the attacks of bleak biting winds.

The Lord Mayor held, on Thursday, the first Court of Common Council since the election of members on St. Thornas's- day. The London Bridge Approaches Committee presented a report for pay- ment of 23,7001. in discharge of a further part of the loan raised for the purposes of those approaches, which was agreed to, and the Chamberlain directed to take the proper steps accordingly.— The Court resolved to appoint a Committee to whom all Parliamentary applications for railways, canals, or otherwise affecting the City estate or their trust funds, should be referred for consideration— A Committee, consisting « sf the Lord Mayor, the Aldermen then pre- sent, thirty Commoners, and the Chairmen of all the Committees was then appointed accordingly ; and the petition of the Commercial Blackwall Railroad Company for continuing the rairoad to Leaden- hall- street, referred to them.— A considerable time was occupied in the discussion whether a petition from the Railway Company should be received, on account of the non- attendance of Ihe Directors.— A discussion took place thereon, when it was decided by a majority of four against the petition; and at subsequent period one of the Di- rectors attending, the Court ultimately received the petition, and re ferred to the newly- appointed Committee. Tuesday, shortly alter one o'clock agreat portion of the metropolis was placed in a state of sudden darkness, by a dense fog, which con- tinued for upwards of three- qcarters of an hour; during the whole of the morning the atmosphere was particularly heavy, but about the above time such an unusual obscuration of the atmosphere com- menced that the appearance was exactly similar to that of night, arid no business could be carried on in- doors without the assistance of artificial light. We regret to state that several accidents occurred in the fog. A young lady, the daughter of Mr. Jefferies, of Gold- smith- street, Wood- street, Cheapside, was ran against by a cart in King William- street, and knocked down, the end of one of the shafts striking her with tremendous violence on the shoulder. On being raised up the young lady appeared to be much frightened and hurt. She was conveyed home in a hackney- coach. A respectable married woman, named Marshall, residing in Mint- street, Borough, was knocked down by a hackney- coach in the Commercial- road, Lambeth, and one of the wheels pas- ed over her right leg, severely fracturing the bone between tile knee and ankle joints. A woman named Flax- man, in crossing Hyde Park, carrying her husband's dinner, walked into the Serpentine River, and narrowly escaped being drowned. On the river, an old waterman named Hawkins ran his boat foul of a vessel with such violence that it was completely split in two, and the poor old man was immersed in the water and drowned. On Tuesday evening Miss Sophia Beeseley, a young lady 17 years of age, was burnt in a shocking manner, at the residence of her aunt, Mrs. Feltham, VVindhain- street, Bryanstone- square. While dressing for an evening par; y, it appeared that the unfortunate young lady had placed alighted candle on the ground for the purpose of picking up some trifling article, when the lower part of her dress instantly caught fire. From the extent of the injuries, the lower extremities being frightfully burnt, but faint hopes are given of her recovery. timatist, M. Berryer, was amongst the opponents of M. Guizot— not because he disapproves of the present Cabinet's Spanish policy— not because he would have France intervene and crush Don Carlos— not because the policy of non- interveiftionwas not calculated to place the crown of Spain upon the head of its proper owner; but simply for the purpose of showing up the Minister of Instruction, and of proving that in acting as he now does, he is departing altogether from his system, and also of showing that he, as well as his master, are, in point of fact, working under the control of the grea t Northern Powers. M. Gnizot made a triumphant vindication of the policy of the French Cabinet. There appears to be a rather general feeling in the Chamber that the system pursued in respect to Spain has been bad : but there still existed no probability that on the Address Ministers would be left in a minority. One of the journals of Wed- nesday states, that the intercourse between Marshal Soult and Count Montalivet were active and lively, carried on, too, through the Mar- quess de Dalmatia ( son of Marshal Soult), and that matters had already gone so far as to have a new Cabinet organised and ready to succee'd to the present on the first important check, or the first tender of resignation. We regret to observe that letters of the 11th inst. from Marseilles announce that the plague had broken out in Tripoli. The vessel by which this unpleasant information was received had on board ( it was understood) an Ambassador from the Bey of Tunis to the French Government. The preparations for the new expedition against Con- sfanfine were in active progress. The proceedings before the Court, of Assizes at Strasburg up fo the tenth day have come to hand. The proceedings of that day comprise the speeches of MM, Martin, Chaavin, and De Leichtenberg, in defence of their respective clients, the Counts De Querelles antl De Gricourt, and Madame Gordon alias Brault. The burden of all their arguments, and of M. Martin in particular, were powerfully directed towards the impossibility of rendering justice fothe accusedin a trial whence the chief had been voluntarily withdrawn by the authorities. The speech is said in our private letters to have produced a visible effect upon the auditory, not excepting the Jury. SPAIN.— From Bayonne, under date the 13th inst., we learn that Ribeiro had arrived with his division in Santander, and was only wait- ing for steamers to embarkfor St. Sebastian. Thereinforcements thus to reach the British Legion would amount to 8,000 men, and a general attack on the Carlist lines, is, we are told, to take place. The Carlists were ' actively occupied in preparing for it. Another letter, of the same date, recapitulates the respective force of the belligerents in the north of Spain, and gives the plan of the contemplated attack on the Carlist lines, from which it appears that the Christinos ( not including the British Legion 1 amount to 49,000 men. The Carlists are estimated at 35,000 men, independently of those occupied in ob serving the English at St. Sebastian. The head- quarters of the Infante Don Sebastian were still at Zernosa on the 11th. Espartero also remained at Bilbon. The French Foreign Legion atPampelunawas said to be in a state of disorganisation. Sarsfield, on the .11 th, was inactive. Provisions were running short. Lord Ranelagh had quitted the Spanish frontier, on his way to Rome, to join his parent. PRUSSIA.— The Mercure Beige gives a letter on the fith inst., from Hamburg, stating that the King of Prussia is seriously indisposed. Heis said to have passed several, nights without sleep, and to have suffered severely from attacks of fever and vomitings. The last bulletin, however, announces that his Majesty is not in actual danger. TURKEY.— Letters from Constantinople of the 21st. nit., mention the death of Hassuna D'Ghies on the 19th from plague. Namik Pasha and Mehemet Ra. yf were daily expected from Tripoli. The former had been appointed Governor of the Dardanelles. The Admiral ( Tahir Pasha) remained Governor of the province of Tripoli. By the American papers we leant" that the City Post- ofiice at Washington, with its entire contents, the Patent- office, with its curious models and papers, comprising all the inventions of Ame- rican ingenuity for half a century past, and the building of the Ge- neral Post- office, the books and papers of vyhich are fortunately saved, were consumed by fire on Thursday morning the 15th ult. The cause of the fire does not yet appear with any certainty, though many believe it was the effect of design. An investigation is making, and the House of Representatives have ordered tbe Post- office Committee to pursue the inquiry.—" Of all the amount of loss of papers and property sustained by this disaster, that which is most to be regretted ( because irreparable) is that of the whole of the great repository of models of machines in the Patent- office. The mouldering ashes now only remain of that collected evidence of the penetration, ingenuity, and enterprise, which peculiarly distinguish the descendants of Europe in the Western World." Thursday morning a lady named Wrighton, residing in Gower- street, Bedford- square, was found dead in her bed, having retired to rest on the previous night in her usual health and spirits. This me- lancholy event is rendered still more deplorable by the circumstance of the lady's husband having only left London on Tuesday last to proceed to Scotland. The deceased was about forty- five years of age. Thursday morning a man, the very personification of wretched- ness, was discovered coiled up in a heap, in a corner in George- street, St. Giles's, in a state of insensibility. He was removed to the police station- house, where he expired in a short time. Tuesday morning, about eight o'clock, the following melancholy accident occurred at Knightsbridge. Asa gentleman named New- man, residing at No, 9, Pall- mall, was riding in the direction of Ken- sington, his horse shyed, and threw him with great violence on his head. The unfortunate gentleman when picked up was bleeding profusely from his head. He was immediately assisted to St. George's Hospital by police constable Jones, 55 T, when, on exami- nation, it was found his head was dreadfully fractured. On Monday evening a married ludy named Savage, who was living in a style of great respectability, and had for the last twelvemonths resided in Munster- street, committed suicide by nearly severing her head from her body. A female servant in passing the door of the deceased's bedroom heard a noise like the sound of water dripping on the floor, and, on entering the apartment to ascertain the cause, she observed a dark coloured stream on the carpet, and, approaching the bed, was horror- struck at discovering her mistress, with her clothes saturated with blood, and having a frightful wound in the throat, reaching nearly from ear to ear. Surgical aid was procured as promptly as possible, but in the lapse of a very short time the de- ceased had ceased to exist. The wound, which had completely divided the neck to the bone, must have been made with uncommon determi- nation, and was, it appears, inflicted with two common table- knives, which, with a steel, evidently used to sharpen them, were found on the bed, covered with blood. BRITISH MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.— Thursday evening a meeting of gentlemen connected with the medical profession was held at Exeter Hall, George Webster, Esq., of Dulwich, in the chair. The Chair- man explained the object of the association to be the relief from the disabilities under which licentiates of the College of Surgeons laboured by reason of their not ranking with those who had studied at the Universities, and also from their being precluded from all Court appointments. The remedy proposed was an union of the three branches of the medical profession, so as to form one general faieulfy of medicine, who should have the power of electing its own officers, and managing their own affairs. The address, which want of space has compelled us to curtail, was received with much applause. After passing various resolutions the meeting separated. THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—( From a Correspondent.)— We are informed that the Commissioners for superintending the building of the new Houses of Parliament decided on Wednesday that the works agreeably to Mr. Barry's plan, should be commenced without further delay, and that the necessary orders were immedi- ately issued.— Standard. Tun EDGEWARE- ROAD MURDER.— At day- break on Mondavmorn- ing, three labourers, by order of the authorities of Paddington pa- rish, commenced dragging the Maida- hill tunnel, and about a quar- ter of a mile of the adjacent canal, in order to find, if possible, the legs of the murdered female whose deplorable end has been recently before the public. They continued their labours until two o'clock, having dragged a full half mile, but without effect. On Wednesday Inspector Feltham, of the T division, was actively employed, in con- sequence of a letter which he had received by post, from a Mrs. Colburn, of Elstree, setting forth that, having seen in the papers a paragraph wherein it was stated that there was a probability of the late horrid murder and mutilation of the female having been perpe- trated by some of the canal boatmen, it had suddenly occurred to her that a middle- aged woman had, on the 22d of December last, left Paddington in one of the canal boats for Liverpool, and had not since been heard of. She was accompanied to the boat by a Mrs. Bruce, living in the neighbourhood of Holborn, and took with her, in addition to wearing apparel, a bottle of spirits and some ale. She had faithfully promised to write a letter on her sale arrival, but as she had not done so, it was much feared that some evil had be- fallen her. The inspector immediately proceeded to Mrs. Bruce, when he found that tne statement contained in the above letter was true, and he at once brought Mrs. Bruce down to the poor- house,_ when she viewed the head, and, after a careful examination, was of opinion that it. was not that of the female alluded to. The letter was directly forwarded to the Police Commissioners, and the most diligent inquiry will be instituted by the authorities at Liverpool, in reference to the communication in question, when the fact of the pas- senger having reached her destination or not will be ascertained. It will be remembered that a considerable sensation was caused by the report, that theill- faied female was, beyond all doubt, a Mrs. Ricketts, the wife of an inhabitant of Willesden, who, in the month of Sep- tember last, left that place, in order to receive a legacy of 7001., at Great Marlow, Bu. kinehamshire, and that she had not yetreturned ; the person who gave the information respecting her was, however, unable to identify her features ; and on Tuesday last Pegler ( the po- liceman) took a horse and cart, and went to Ihe above- named place, bringing back with him the man named Ricketts, who has latterly been cohabiting with another woman. He was then taken to the poor- house, and, after looking for some time at the head, said he did not believe it to be his wife's. The hair, he admitted, bore a very close resen: blance to her's, but the nose and ears were some- what smaller. Accounts are daily received of women missing, but, as yet, no information of anything like a satisfactory nature can be gained. The head was on'Tuesday last placed in spirits by Mr. Girdwood, the parish surgeon. FOUL MURDER.— Mr. Philip Thompson, a distinguished lawyer and politician, was murdered at the Yellow Banks, Kentucky, by an Irishman, armed with a " Bowie knife." The unfortunate man fell dead on the spot. The cause of the act is not given.— New York Paper. On Tuesday, about one o'clock, a respectable man, about sixty years of age, fell down dead in Gracechurch- street, while inquiring for a Greenwich stage. He had some property about him, but no papers were found by which he could be known. ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILROAD.— Thursday morning Timothy Conners, a middle- aged man, died at the North London Hospital, in Upper Gower- street, Bedford- square, after the endurance of extreme suffering from the effects of the severe and dreadful injuries he had sustained a few hours previously while at work on the London aud Birmingham Railroad between theRegent's- park and Camden Town. It appears that the deceased was assisting some masons in placing a coping- stone on one of the brick buttresses, ihiriy feet high, erected to pre- vent the sides of the excavated level giving w ay, when, by some mis- hap, he over- balanced himself and fell headforemost to the ground; at the same time displacing the coping- stone, which fell after liim, and alighted with the whole impetus of its descent on his chest, as he was lying on his back on a heap of brickwork. He was conveyed as quickly as possible on a litter to the hospital, where it was ascer- tained that his breastbone and the ribs on both sides were crashed into the cavi ly of the chest, and that, the fractured portions had pene- trated the lungs and also lacerated tliem in a very extensive manner. The deceased has left a widow and several children. On Tuesday night, a seaman, named James Anstead, who had lately arrived in England, and had been lodging in Fox and Goose- yard, Shadwell, asked a woman to swallow seine liquid contained in a phial, which he ottered to her. On refusing to comply with his request, he put the phial, which contained laudanum, to his mouth and drank the contents. He was removed to the London Hospital, where he died from the effects of the narcotic on Wednesday morning. Thursday morning, between six and seven o'clock, the body of a new- born male infant, wrapped in a new jack- towel, was found in the Islington- fields, on a heap of rubbish. The body wjs that of a very fine child, and had every indication of having been born alive. There were no marks of violence on the body. Thursday morning, between six and seven o'clock, the body of an elderly man was picked out of the mud along tbe quay of the custom- house" bv some watermen. It was conveyed to the bone- house be- longing to St.- Mary- at- hiil Church. From the dreadful decompo- sition of the body it is supposed that it had been in the water for several weeks. The clothes of the deceased were of a good descrip- tion. Nothing was found on his person to discover his name.

At one house in I'uckridge five adult in- mates died on Sunday. On Monday an inquest was held at Taunton on the body of Mrj James Bale, a banker, who committed suicide by shooting himsel. through the head with a pistol at his own residence on the previous day. It appeared that the unfortunate gentleman about a year and a balf ago had a serious fit of illness, which shook his constitution so much that he had never been perfectly well since. He subsequently lost a brother, which affected him and made him worse. He had latterly been observed to suffer greatly from nervous excitement, and his hand sometimes trembled so violently that he could not write. He had been several times known to leave the bank and faint, and then return again. This had happened recently. On the day previous to his committing the sad act a strangeness had been ob- served in his manner. The Jury returned a verdict—'- That the de- ceased shot himself with a pistol, not being of sound mind, and suf- fering from such extreme excitement as to cause delirium." We last week copied a paragraph from the Morning Herald, an- nouncing the loss of the vessel in which Mrs. Wilkinson, late of Sadler's Wells Theatre, had sailed with her family to Sydney ; we learn from the same paper that the statement is wholly without foundation. , , ,, . , , „ The funeral of Mr. Ready, who was murdered last week by Pegs- worth, took place on Tuesday, and an immense crowd assembled to witness the last ceremonies: indeed, the street was rendered almost impassable. The body was followed by the widow, sister, father- in- law, and other relatives of the deceased, and the Service impressively performed in Ratcliff- highway Chapel by the Rev. Mr. Hyatt. The murderer, who, on his committal displayed such cool indifference, begins to show some contrition. A Story has been told us of an old lady— who shall be nameless— at Bristol, who, happening to fall asleep during divine service, a week or two since, let her Bible ( which had large massive clasps) fall in her pew: the noise awaking her, the congregation were considerably surprised by hearing her exclaim loudly, " V/ hat! Jane, you have broken another jug, have you." 38 IRELAND. DEATH or THE MASTER OP THE ROLLS.— With feelings of deep regret— feelings in which the members of both the legal professions and the public at large will fully participate, we announce the death of Sir William M'Mahon, Bart., which took place at his chambers in Camden- street. on Monday morning at seven o'clock. There never was a more upright, impartial, pains- taking, or competent Judge, nor an individual who, in all the relations of private and social life, discharged the trusts pertaining to his station in a manner more conducive to the happiness, or more" tributary to the comfort of those with whom family connexions, or the routine of civilized life brought him in contact, than Sir William M'Mahon. Public rumour has already appointed two persons to be his successor— Mr. Baron O'Loghlen, and Mr. Richards, the Attorney- General. The situation would, of right, belong to the latter ; but the friends of the former state, that there was a stipulation with the Government when he accepted the place of puisne Judge, that he was to have precedence. Dublin Standard. There has been another strong Conservative manifestation in Ire- land. A great Conservative meeting was held at Tyrone last week. The most striking, and certainly not the least interesting feature in the proceedings, was the circumstance of the company being presided over bv that popular young nobleman, the Marquess of Abercorn, who advocated Conservative principles with a degree of talent, of energy, and of fearless independence, which show emphatically how well he deserves to be ranked with those who have always been dis- tinguished as " the pillars of the State." ' The Marquis of Abercorn is the brother- in- law of Lord John Russell; yet he did not shrink from proclaiming his just sense of the humiliating position which Lord John and his colleagues now oc- cupy, as Ministers of the Crown. In proposing the health of his Majesty, the noble Marquess made the following cutting, though truthful allusion:— " His Majesty has repeatedly shown and declared his deep convic- tion of the necessity of maintaining unimpaired the Protestant insti- tions of the country ; audi mav venture to say, that few men would hail with greater delight the dismissal of his present Ministers than would his Majesty himself, did the time permit such a change to take place." The noble Marquess's defence of the House of Lords, though short, was comprehensive, and to the point; and his assurance, as a mem- ber of that body, that they " will remain true to themselves, and fearlessly perform the duties they owe to the country," goes to strengthen the grounds of hope and confidence on which the friends of the Monarchy are now content to rest their cause. THE " EXPLOSION" IN LIMERICK.— Forty- three houses were in- jured, five have been entirely removed. An inquest on the sufferers has been held, and. a verdict returned, " That the calamity was caused by the explosion of gunpowder in Mr. Richardson's house, in consequence of culpable negligence in the storing and treatment of a large quantity of powder." There has been a very calamitous tire in Dame- street, Dublin, by which a tea warehouse was consumed, and the adjoining premises much injured. The cause of the accident is not known, nor the amount of the damage estimated. No lives were lost. THE LONG- LOST HEIR.— Intelligence from Ennis announces the arrival of a gentleman in that town on Friday last, whose return from J amaica cannot have proved very agreeable to two families of distinction in the county of Clare— Sir Edward O'Brien and Mr. Arthur. The romance of the history which follows is no less singular than as I am led to believe it is true. Twenty- four years since, as the statement of the family of this stranger runs, he, then a boy of 11 years, was at a school in England, where he had been placed'by his lather, Mr. Smith, of Clare ( the father of Lady O'Brien, Mrs. Bran, and Mrs. Arthur also). He was there told that all his relatives were no more, and that he was left destitute, and was urged to seek his fortune in the West Indies, under the assumed name of Crosby. There he struggled on in comparative poverty until an advertise- ment from Mrs. Bran, long continued in the journals of Europe and the Colonies, attracted his observation. It is understood that his death was stated to have taken place at the English school alluded to, and to have been followed by a mock- funeral. Mrs. Bran heard that the stranger in Jamaica, on reading her advertisement, remem- bered enough of his earlier days to enable him most unequivocally to declare that he was the individual sought for as Tom Smith, whose father, so far from leaving him destitute, had bequeathed to him pro- perty wo/ th about 35, OOOl., which, on his disappearance, fell to the families of Arthur and O'Brien. The present member for the county of Limerick, Mr. Smith O'Brien, whom the Radicals contemplate removing from his seat for his chivalrous disregard of Mr. O'Connell's domination, was to have enjoyed a great part of the property left to Tom Smith on the demise of his mother, Lady O'Brien, in whose possession it now is. Mr. Arthur, a gentleman who lives also in the world of fashion, has possession of another portion. Mrs. Bran having satisfied herself that her alleged brother was indeed alive, furnished him with money, and he arrived in Limerick on Thursday last. As he drove into Ennis, he pointed out localities on the road which he named accurately. Conducted to the woman who had nursed the lost heir, she, having examined his features, declared that he was no impostor. Subsequent examinations by the family, and connections of Mrs. Bran, so clearly convinced them that he was the long- lost Tom Smith, that all doubt vanished, and ever}' reliance was placed on the calm connected detail of the interesting stranger. Mr. Bran,! ong sceptical on the subject of the strongly- conceived belief of his wife, in the existence and possible return of her brother, at length satisfied, warmly welcomed him to his honse, where he is now residing, previously to the commencement of those proceedings, which are at once either to thwart all his hopes or fully to restore him to a distinguished place in society and an elegant independence. It will be naturally asked, who could have carried into effect the horrid act of banishing the son of a respectable gentleman, and de- priving him of family and fortune ? but that will appear 011 the trial, should he be driven to that extremity. The high character of Mr. Arthur forbids all doubt in that quarter. Sir Edward and Lady O'Brien are also fur above suspicion; so that the matter remains at present as much enveloped in mystery a. s the past years of him were who toiled up to the age of 35 years in a tropical climate for a pre- carious existence. The manners and personal appearance of Mr. Smith are in his favour. He is intelligent, if not well- educated ; simple and unpretending in conversation; he appears to regard truth in every respect, never having once varied from the unosten- tatious simplicity of the original statement, the clearness and well- linked nature of which induced Mrs. Bran to welcome to Ireland, as her long- lost relative, the Tom Crosbvnf the island of Jamaica. Some villains broke into ihe premises of Mr. Rutter, a Member of the Temperance Society, of Shaftesbury, last week, and stole there- from upwards of three dozen of very choice wines. DEATH FROM " GODFREY'S COROIAL."— An inquest was held at Pinchbeck Fen End, on Wednesday last, by Mr. Edwards, on the body of Martha Palmer, aged three years, daughter of Mr. John Palmer, a farmer, of that place, who had died on the dav previously in consequence of a dose of " Godfrey's Cordial," administered by the mother, she not being aware of the powerful effects of the medi- cine, Verdict, " Accidental death from Godfrey's Cordial."— Boston Herald. On Tuesday, an elderly man in distressed circumstances, but not of the common description of beggars, called at the house of Mr. G. Wiffen, in thi3 town, and solicited relief; on being refused, he ex- claimed, " Then I will poison myself in front of your door," and lifting to his mouth a phial filled with liquid, drank off a part of its contents. Mr. Wiffen, howpver, seized the pliial, and took it from liim, when it proved to contain laudanum, which it appears had been purchased of two chemists in the town. He was immediately taken to the workhouse, and, medical aid being procured, the effects of the poison were arrested. He accounted for the rash act bv stating that he was an Hanoverian, a stranger in this country, and being at Norwich he gave his wife 3001. to put in the bank, which she a few days after drew out and eloped with another man, through which he was unsettled in mind, and reduced to a state of distress.— Chelms- ford Chronicle. At the Hereford County Sessions, on Tuesday, a" beggar named Castree, was indicted for stealing a slice of bread. The prisoner went, into the kitchen of Mr. John Davis, of Kentchurcb. and asked charity. The family told him to go away, as they would give him nothing. He said he must have something, and took up aknife, anil cut a large slice of bread off a loaf. The jury found him guilty, and the chairman sentenced hiin to be transported for seven years!— Herejord Journal.

The splendid festival given by the citizens of Glasgow to manifest their admiration of Sir Robert Peel, and their love for " the Cause " of Conservatism, w as held in that city on Friday, the 13th January— a day which must" stand aye recorded in the Calendar." The preparations, ample as were required, were not completed until the morning of the dinner. The immense Pavilion in which it took place had been erected at the back of the Mansion- house, in Buchanan- street, belonging to Mr. Gordon, of Aikenhead, who in the handsomest manner granted the use of his ground and house for that purpose. The ground being in some degree insulated, with excellent entrances at the north and south sides, was most favourably adapted for the building, and the use of the various apartments of the house afforded very extensive accommodation. Estimates having been procured, the work was commenced on the 9th of last month. The edifice occupied the whole width of the ground. In length it was 127 feet, and its greatest breadth was of no less extent, the east sidebeing formed into a polygon upon a semi- circle, but the sides of the polygon were so numerous as to produce the apparent effect of a curve, while the right lines and angles of which it was composed are generally considered . more favourable to the transmission of sound. The west side formed a line extending the full width of 127 feet. From the middle portion of this side a semi- elliptical platform, about four feet high, was projected, on the most prominent part of which was the chairman's seat, whence towards the croupiers' platform ran 12 tables with seats on each side. Towards the north and south, namely, at the right and left side of the chair, the floor had been gradually elevated to such a height, that a passage was gained un- derneath. communicating with the various stairs of entrance. The same inclined floor met the croupiers' platform and the central or principal tables. The tables on the inclined portions of the floor were single, that is, having seats only on one side. There were 94 single tables, making in the whole 116, giving accommodation to 2,298 gentlemen. On the chairman's platform 55 noblemen and gentlemen were accommodated, while that of the croupiers admitted 49. The roof was supported by 24 square slender columns, stained to imitate sienna marble, those next the wall forming supports for the gallery, which was continued along the several sides of the build- ing except the west. In the depth of the gallery were five tables and a passage of communication, thus 1.030 additional seats were obtained, making the whole number 3,432. If the character of the apartment were viewed without reference to convenience, safety, or economy, it might be said that the very moderate elevation of the walls occasioned a violation of architectural proportions, for the utmost elevation of the ceiling of a building 127 feet wide was only 33 feet. The general impression created on first entering the pavi- lion was that of a gigantic theatre with a low roof. The ceiling of the pavilion was lined with cotton cloth framed into panels, the walls under and above the galleries covered with crimson cloth, the front formed into crimson panels with gold mouldings. The whole of the west wall was covered with a painting in distemper formed into three compartments by four Egyptian columns. In the centre compartment was represented a rock, whence there arose a pyramid, on which was inscribed the word " King," and underneath the words " British Constitution." A pyramid occupied each of the other compartments; on one of which was inscribed " Lords," and on the other " Commons." The whole of the operations connected with the designs, the building, the decorations, and of the pavilion, were completed in little more than a month, and great credit is due to the skill and taste of the architect, as well as to the judgment and assi- duity of the committee and the contractors. We have understood that the expense will exceed 2,0001. The } avilion was lighted with gas. From the centre of the ceiling was suspended a highly- orna- mented lustre, the property of the Trades' House of Glasgow, the use of which was granted for the occasion by that corporation. There were two other lustres, exclusive of side lights, the whole of the number containing 4,171 jets. The quantity of cloth used in the various coverings, hangings, < fcc., amounted to 8,000 yards. It might naturally be supposed that the unparalleled magnitude of the banquet would lead to every careful and minute arrangement on the part of the stewards and committee, and the result was a degree of order far surpassing that of smaller assemblies. At three o'clock precisely, the doors of Mr. Gordon's house were opened, and gra- dually the pavilion filled. The dinner ( with the exception of the supplies for about 200 of the more distinguished guests) was cold. At half- past five, the Chairman, H. Monteith, Esq. of Carstairs, took the chair. Charles Stirling, Esq. was the Vice President. They were supported by the following, among other distinguished guests :— Sir Robt. Peel, Bart, M. P., Earl of Hardwicke, Marquis of Tweeddale, Rev. Dr. M'Leod, Earl of Haddington, Earl of Rosslyn, Mr. Compbell, of Blytheswood, Lord John Scott, M. P., Sir George Clerk, M. P., Dean of Faculty, Sir H. P. H. Campbell, Bart., M. P., Mr. Duncan M'Neill, SirChas. Lamb. Bart., Lord Forbes, Mr. Joseph Peel, Earl of Morton, Principal M'Farlane, Earl of Glasgow, Viscount Melville, Lord John Camphell, Viscount Stormont, M. P., Sir Wil- liam Rae, Bart., M. P., Sir William Forbes, M. P., Mr. A. M'Donald Lockhart, M. J. J. H. Johnston, M. P., Earl of Eglinton, Viscount Kelburne, Lord Elcho, SirD. K. Sandford. Mr. J. Emerson Tennent, M. P., Mr. Patrick Robertson, Earl of Leven and Melville, Lord Loughborough, Lord Ramsay, Hon. Capt. Gordon, M. P., Mr. Wm. Ewart Gladstone, M. P. The usual toasts having been given, the Chairman rose and pro- posed the health of Sir R. Peel. To those not present at this magnificent festival, it is impossible for any words to convey an idea of the enthusiasm displayed by the company in drinking tliis toast. Wrought up as their feelings had been to a very pitch, and great as must have been the excitement under which they laboured, we could not have anticipated that they would have found expression in a manner which was at the moment overwhelming. The cheers which immediately burst from the audience continued for nearly 15 minutes. The building, notwith- standing the solidity of its construction, trembled to its foundation. When the applause subsided for a moment, from absolute exhaus- tion, it was renewed, and again renewed, with increased vehemence. After silence had been restored, the trumpets flourished, and Sir Robert Peel rose and addressed the assembled multitude. Our space does not permit us to give the report at much length. We must therefore content ourselves with extracting such portions of it as will gladden the hearts and excite the hopes of all Conservatives throughout the empire. " Gentlemen, the time I am entitled to address you is but short, I am not to trespass too much on your indulgence. ( Loud cheers, and cries of No, no.) Let us come, then, to the main point ( cheers), for 1 do not wish to conciliate your confidence or support by hoisting false colours. ( Great cheering.) I MEAN TO SUPPORT THE NATIONAL ESTABLISHMENTS WHICH CONNECT PROTESTANTISM WITH NI| STATE IN THE THREE COUNTRIES. ( Here the whole company rose in one mass and responded to this avowal with loud cheers and waving of handkerchiefs, which had a most imposing effect, and lasted for several minutes.) I will not say— nothing could be so unseemly after the reception I have met here— nothing could be so unseemly as if I uttered one word of disrespect with regard to those who differ frotn me in religious opinions. No, I will say with respect to Dissent in. this country, I think we owe it great obligations for the efforts it has made in the common cause of promoting sound religious know- ledge ( cheers), but it is perfectly consistent with that respect and with that obligation to declare that, in my opinion, more futile argu- ments than those by which what is called the voluntary systeni is supported were never presented for the consideration of men inte- rested in the welfare of a great country. ( Cheers.) I do feel, and I trust you feel along with me, that it is right the State should pay that homage to Christianity which is implied by a Religious Esta- blishment. ( Loud and universal cheering.) Is it possible to be deluded by the analogies which are drawn from the theories of supply and demand in the articles of consomption and merchandise ? Is it not perfectly clear that the demand for religious instruction may not only not be in the direct ratioof its necessity, but absolutely may be in the inverse ratio ( loud cheers), and that those who stand the most in need of religious instruction are not the first, but the last, who will make a voluntary effort to attain it? ( Loud cheers.) I say, too, that it is right that the Minister who is to speak with authority, who is to rebuke indifference, who is to endeavour to conciliate towards religious feeling— who is to be the censor over presumptuous vice— that man ought not to depend upon the precarious benevolence of those he is to counsel, to admonish, or rebuke. ( Loud and repeated cheers.) J infer from the declaration of vour feelings that upon that point your mind i3 made up. ( Great ancf continued cheering.) Itis not the question of forming de novo a new establishment; the question is, will you adhere to that which you find established by the law, and which has been guaranteed to you by thji most solemn national compacts ? ( Loud cheers.) THEN, AGAIN, I AVOW TO YOU THAT I MEAN TO SUPPORT IN ITS FULL INTEGRITY, THE AUTHO- RITY OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS ( the enthusiasm with which this sen- January 22 timent was received baffles all description), as an essential, indis- pensable condition, of the continued existence of the mixed form of Government under which we live ( loud cheers)— as tantamount, in short, to the maintenance of the British constitution ( loud nnd long- continued cheers); and I mean to consider every plausible propo- sition that may be made, not directly assailing that integrity, but having for its object covertly to undermine it ( cheers)— I mean to consider every such proposition not on its abstract isolated merits, but with regard to the tendencv, the ultimate tendencv, it may have to undermine the integrity and independence of the House of " Lords, and thereby to destroy the British constitution. ( Continued cheers.) Do you also Concur in that expression of opinion ? ( Loud and uni- versal acclamations and cries of " We do. ) A nd if you do, it is a timely declaration of it. The hour has arrived when, if these are our feelings, we must be prepared to act upon them. ( Great cheering.) Don't let us content ourselves with the vehemence of our enthusiasm here. ( Cheers.) We have political privileges given us, and I don't know for what it is we hold them unless we are de- termined to exercise them. ( Cheers.)" Whatever malevolent critics may say of the passage, they will scarcely deny that it is both frank and eloquent— that it puts forth boldy and unequivocally the speaker's intentions, and enforces the principles upon which those intentions rest, in the best manner. Indeed, the clear ingenuousness, which pervades not only this pas- sage, but the whole speech, constitutes its highest eloquence— an eloquence, supported throughout by the most beautiful imagery, by a perfect mastery of language, and by an ample profusion of deep and just thought. But still, the vigorous freedom of the speech is that which, under present circumstances, constitutes its most brilliant charm and its highest value. Nothing can more strongly contrast with the Right Hon. Baronet's inaugural address than the speech at the dinner ; and surely nothing can afford a better test of the ex- cellence of both compositions than this striking contrast. The exhortation to the young men of the University was charac- terised, through all its grace and beauty, by a sedate and gentle tone; insomuch that a Sunday journalist sneers at Sir Robert, by saying that an admirable teacher was spoiled in him by making him a statesman; forgetful that the Right Hon. Baronet was, in fact, acting the part of a teacher; and that it is the highest tribute to a man's genius, tosay that he seems to be doing best whatever he is doing. But if a calm and composed style best became the Lord Rector in ad- dressing young men who ought to be learners, earnestness, vehe- mence, and fire suited an exhortation to men called upon to act: these, with the vigorous freedom of which we have spoken, are the characteristics of the address. To the few latter passages, which we have borrowed from the Standard, we add from an article in the Times:— If it were nothing more than the raising of a standard or rallying- point, round which the sound and honest portion of the people of England may unite, what incalculable good has the Conservative leader, by that means alone effected! Heretofore, it is true, there has been a sort of feeling or tacit understanding throughout the nation, that as the bias of the Whigs, for the sake of office, would be towards a servile submission to the Radicals, and an acquiescence in the worst schemes of that outlawed faction for the total ruin of the monarchy, so, on the other hand, the bias of the Conservatives would be generally adverse to such attempts, and in favour of the principle of stability. There is not now a single man in the kingdom who can plead in exense for his political hesitation or neutrality a doubt as to what it is that he undertakes when. he accedes to the Conservative party. No man can henceforth assert that he is hoodwinked or deluded by Sir Robert Peel, or that in forming an alliance with him he is left in the dark what principles he embraces, or how far he is to carry the ap- plication of them. But there is something more in the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet. There is an appeal to those who have not yet called them- selves Conservatives, and a reference to facts which throw upon them — we mean that portion of the Liberal party who were the ostensible and prominent framers of the Reform Bill— an appeal to their con- sistency and honour, if tliey abide by their principles, as explained by their solemn professions only four or five years ago, invoking their support of Sir Robert Peel's constitutional policy, if they would not incur the stain of hypocrisy upon their former declarations, or of gross apostacy through their present facts. The Right Hon. Baronet, addressing himself to those who were Reformers, par excellence, in the years 1830,1831,1832, reminds them that they assented to a reform, and that the Grey administration had invited the people of England to acquiesce in that reform, on the ex- press condition that it should be one " according to the acknowledged principles of the Constitution"— the Constitution in Church and State. He asks the Reformers of Great Britain, " do they adhere to" that principle of reform, advocated, as he proves it was, upon the ground that it should correspond with, and should not transgress, the acknowledged boundaries of the Constitutation ? To satisfy the Reformers of the empire that he is not dealing in empty or untenable generalities, he adduces a state document, nothing less than a King's speech, the speech of his present Majesty, in recommending to both Houses the measure of Parliamentary reform. " I have now to re- commend the important question of reform to your earliest and most attentive consideration, confident that in any measures which you may prepare for its adjustment you will carefully adhere to the ac- knowledged principles of the Constitution, by which the prerogatives of the Crown, the authority of both Houses of Parliament, and the rights and liberties of the people are equally secured." One prerogative of the Crown is to create Peers. Is that respected by some of those who assume to themselves the title of Reformers, and who clamour for a House of Lords to be elected by ballot ? _ One authority of the House of Lords is to deliberate on the passing of Acts of Parliament. Is that respected by another class of Reformers, who would assign to the Lords nothing more than a suspensive veto upon the omnipotence of the other House of Parliament ? And are those Conservatives to be refused the name and credit of Reformers who stand at the present hour upon those very principles upon which the Grey administration, through the mouth of his Majesty, intro- duced the subject of the Reform Bill itself in the year 1831 ? But the King's speech— the speech of his Whig Ministers— went further than the above passage ; for, says his Majesty, " in recommending reform to your consideration, it was my object " to give additional security to the settled institutions of the State." When the settled institutions of the State are talked of, are the Church of England and the House of Lords excluded ? When consistency is talked of, are we to be told that the Whig reform policy of 1830 is nought better than rank Tory- ism in 1836 ? This appeal of the Right Hon. Baronet is conclusive. It has been observed, that throughout the whole of this masterly and commanding speech there is evidence of the speaker's mind being fraught with a consciousness that he adresses a community in a state of strong political reaction. We think the observation just, and rejoice at the circumstances which have caused it. Who ever had such grounds for certainty that Great Britain is at this moment experiencing the most rapid transition from temporary fever to calm and healthy rationality that ever was attained to by a free people ? Proofs of the tact had already multiplied in every direction through- out England before the Right Hon. Baronet took his departure for the north. But what awaited him on his arrival in the vicinity of Glasgow ? One of the earliest, as it was, perhaps, one of the most welcome honours tendered to him there, was a deputation from the Conservative operatives or mechanics of the city and neighbourhood, to present him with the freedom of their corporation. The address which accompanied this flattering compliment, and indeed which formed the most valuable portion of it, was drawn up in terms which, for purity, nerve, or dignity ofexpression, any more than for depth and beauty of thought, could not have been exceeded had it proceeded from the most distinguished members of that learned body in whose records the name of Peel had just been enrolled. We shall just quote one passage:—" It is onr earnest hope that an overruling Providence may long avert from the British legislature the introduction of such changes as would destroy the salutary influence of one of its branches, and lead to the virtual overthrow of another, We regard the interests of the working classes as identified with and inseparable from those of the aristocracy, and should consider any infraction of the rights oi the Peers as the presage of an eventual violation of the liberties of the people." Let any man who has regarded the state of this country, and the march of its politics, for tile last six years, answer us truly, would it have been physically possible to obtain from the working classes of Glasgow a declaration of sentiments in any way akin to those which we have now extracted, even 12 months ago r Reaction . Yes, there is plenty of it, as the wretched Whigs are by this time sensible. " Several congratulatory addresses were presented to Sir Robert Peel, who returned suitable replies. One was from the Glasgow Educational Society ; another from the Trustees and Elders of the Presbytery of Glasgow; another from the Edinburgh Conservative January 22 JOHN BULL. 714 Association ; another from theMerchants' House of Glasgow; another from the Provost and Magistrates of Jedhnrgh; another from the Board of Police for the City of Glasgow. Congratulatory addresses were also presented from the Conservatives of Clackmannan, from St. Andrew's, Cupar, Dumfermline, Fife, and from the county of Aberdeen, & c. NAVAL AND MILITARY.

Ponsonby, Member for the county of Dorset, wlio passed through this town ( Basingstoke) on Wednesday afternoon, for the Wellesley Arms, Murrell- green, where he arrived in apparent good health, and having ordered his dinner, upon taking his seat at the table, fell back in his chair and expired.— Berkshire Chronicle. Major- General Sir Frederick Cavendish Ponsonby, who was a valiant and most distinguished officer; served with great reputation in the Peninsula, and at the battle of Waterloo, where he successfully charged the French at the head of the 11th Hussars, on which occa- sion he was wounded by a grape- shot, and lay apparently dead on the field of battle. While in this situation, one of the enemy's lancers pierced him in three parts of the body with his lance, cut off his epaulets, and galloped off, but the Major- General. survived his wounds, but felt the effects to the day of his death. His decease will be a severe blow to his venerable father, the Earl of Besborough, and will be severely felt by his friends and relations. By his death the Colonelcy of the Royal Dragoons has become vacant. Vice- Adiniral Sir Robert Waller Otway, Bart., is expected to assume the command at the Nore early next month, in the room of the Hon. Admiral Elphinstone Fleming. Sir Pobe- arrived at the Admiralty, from Brighton, on Wednesday, to transact business with the Earl of Minto. A circular has been lately transmitted to the Lords Lieutenant of counties by Lord John Russell, intimating that his Majesty has been pleased to command that the uniform of the officers of the Militia of the United Kingdom shall in future be laced in silver, and that the officers of such regiments as are Royal shall wear, by way of distinction, silver embroidery instead of lace. The Colonelcy of the Royal Dragoons has not yet been conferred on any General Officer; anil as we understand from good authority that Sir Theopliilus Pritzler has been offered an important appoint- ment abroad, we should now say, that the choice rests between Sir Henry Cumming and Sir I. C. Dalbiac, but we are inclined to be- lieve that the first named gallant officer will be the successful one.— United Service Gazette. PORTSMOUTH, Jan. 20.— The Castor, 36 guns, which arrived from Santander on Saturday last, remains at Spithead, waiting till the wind be fair to proceed to the eastward to be paid off.

A meeting of the Church Commision was held on Thursday after- noon at the office in Whitehall- place. The Archbishop of CANTER- BURY, the Bishop of LONDON, the Marquess of LANSDOWNE, Viscount MELBOURNE, and other Commissioners were present. The meeting sat two hours. THE BISHOP os EXETER.— We have great pleasure in copying the following from the Royal Cornwall Gazette:—" The vicarage of Colan, in this county, having become vacant by the death of the Rev. J. ARTHUR, the Bishop of EXETER has given it to MI-. CRESER. an exem- plary Clergyman, who during many years was curate of Crade and Ruan Minor, but had recently been removed to the less desirable curacy of St. Stephens and St. Dennis.— Mr. CRUSER had for the scene of his labour only remote and obscure parishes. He had no connexions able to advance his interests in the Church, and was too modest to endeavour to push himself into notice; but happily for him the Bishop had taken pains to make himself acquainted with the characters and conduct of all his Clergy, and gave him preferment which he neither solicited nor expected. This additional instance of the disinterested and impartial distribution of his patronage by that distinguished Prelate deserves to be recorded for the encouragement of those Clergymen whose humble exerlions in distant and secluded parishes may seem to promise them in this world no return; but who thus may hope that their useful and unobtrusive labours may even here not remain unnoticed nor unrewarded." THE REV. G. A. HATCH, M. A., RECTOR OF ST. MATTHEW, FRIDAY- STREET. — Tbe death of this venerable Clergyman, which took place^ on Sunday last, the 15th inst., at the Rectory- house, has caused infiuite regret to his parishioners, and a numerous circle of friends, by all of whom, he was most deservedly beloved and esteemed. Mr. HATCH was a most active, humane, benevolent, and judicious Clergyman, and was distinguished, for the 44 years during which lie resided on his living in tbe City, for the liberalitv of his deeds, and for the sanctity and charities . f his life. To the National Schools and other public instituiions, he was a warm friend and supporter, and his private benefactions to destitute and meritorious individuals were unbounded. His parishioners, to mark their sense of his worth, some years since presented him with a service of plate; and on the subject of clerical residence, his feelings were so conscien- tious, that no considerations could induce him to live away from his parishioners; and it may be mentioned as a fact, to his honour, that when his diocesan urged him, on account of his growinginfirmiues and age, to_ change his residence for purer air, liis answer was, " My post is in the City, and among the citizens, whom I love and esteem, will I live and die !" The following testimony to this feeling on the part of this admirable Clergyman was some years since afforded by one to whom he uniformly acted more in the relation of a father, than in the character of a friend—" The conscientious feelings of this excellent Clergyman ( the Rev. GEORGE A vortv HATCH), on the subject of residence, his diligent superintendence of his flock, his visits of mercy to the sick and prisoner, have made his fame known, and his name justly endeared throughout the City of which lie is one of its brightest ornaments, and most useful ministers."— See Dr. RUDGE'S Lectures on Genesis, vol. I. p. 146. We are happy to hear that the subscriptions for a new Church in the parish of St. Margaret, Leicester, amounts to 3,0001. It is desired to raise 5,0001. Of the sum already subscribed nine- tenths have been raised in tbe town. The Cburch about to be built and endowed at the sole cost of Mr. FRDWEN TURNER, is to be in St. Mary's parish. We hear that the mother of this munificent gentleman is about to build a Church at Hinckley. We understand that it is the intention of the Archdeacon to call a meeting of the friends of the Established Church, both lay and clerical, for the purpose of establishing a Church Building Associa- tion for the Archdeaconry ol Berts, on the plan which has been adopted in the Diocese of Salisbury, and several adjoining Dioceises. — It is probable the meeting will be held early in tbe present year; twit, we hope, in the course of a week or two, to give more specific information upon the subject.— Berks Chronicle. PENSIONING THE IRISH PRIESTS.— A general meeting of the Irish Roman Catholic Prelates was held in Dublin on the 13th instant, when t.'. o following resolution on this subject was adopted :— " Resolved, That alarmed at the report that, an attempt is likely to be made, during the approaching Session of Parliament, to make a State provision for the Roman Catholic Clergy of Ireland, we deem it our imperative duty not to separate without recording tbe expression of ourstrongestreprobiitidn of any such attempt; and of our unalter- able determination to resist, by every means in our power, n measure which threatens so much mischief t" the independence of the Irish Catholic Church, and to the purity of our holy religion in this country." A meeting of the Bristol and Gloucester Diocesan Church Building Association, was held at Gloucester last week ; at which more than 3001. were subscribed in the room. In the course of the proceedings, one of the Rev. gentlemen who addressed tbe meeting, observed— " In the city of Glasgow a beautiful Cliapel had been erected by the poor Catholic Irish emph ved in the factories, each of them contributing sixpence for that purpose. Now if the Protestant ojieratives in the different cities of the empire would but contribute their sixpences, threepences, or single pence, what Churches and Chapels we should have!" NEW POOR LAW AMENDMENT ACT.— Thursday evening, pursuant to an invitation signed by Mr. M'Gnhev, the vestry- clerk of St. Pan- eras, a public meeting of deputations from tbe metropolitan and sub- urban parishes took place in the board- room of the above- mentioned parish, for the purpose of takingiuto consideration the most efficient measures to be adopted in order to procure arepeal of the Poor Law Amendment Act in the ensuing session of Parliament, and thereby restore to the parishes their local self- government and the protection of their own poor. Deputations from St. Martin's- in- the- fields ; St. George- the- Martyr, Southwark ; St. Giles's- in- the- fields; St. Marylebone ; St. Leonard's, Shoreditch; St. Michael's, Cornhill; aud many other City parishes, were present. Several speakers con- demned in very strong terras the new Jaw and the proceedings of the Commissioners. It was unanimously resolved—" Tlint tbe extent of the powers vested in the Commissioners are most arbitrary and un- constitutional ; that the giving votes to the owners of property not occupiers is destructive of the principle of self- government; that the scale of voting is unjust, and the mode of voting by proxy is most vicious ; and that a general meeting of the parishes be convened to petition Parliament for a total repeal of the Act." At a meeting of the Middlesex Magistrates on Thursday, Mr. Allen, the_ County Treasurer, exhibited a statement of finances'. The sum in hand was 7,2661., the arrears were 6S01. and them was required to meet the county engagements between now and the next Quarter Session, 22,9841. To raise this a three- farthing rate would be necessary, which would produce 17,0171. x\ fter some discussion the rate was agreed so. A Radical collector of rates and taxes in the parish of St. Pancras has been " missing" for the last three or four days and some hundred of pounds are- missing also. 38 JOHN BULL. January 22 TO cuKnc. brvbuuA is. An answer is left for W. at the Office. JOHS7 BULL. LONDON, JANUARY 22. WE are glad to know that the QUEEN is recovered from her late indisposition. His MAJESTY, notwithstanding the badness of the weather, continues to take his daily drives. We have the pleasure to announce that her Royal Highness the Duchess of GLOUCESTER is much better. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of CUMBERLAND and Prince GEORGE have both been attacked with the influenza, which is felt with great severity at Berlin. The state of Brighton is represented as particularly alarm ing; there is scarce a family of which some individuals are not laid up. In the Royal Household thirty or forty persons are, or have been, affected by the epidemic. AFTER a debate of five days the French Chamber of De- puties have rejected an Amendment proposed to the Address, having for its object an intervention on the part of France in the affairs of Spain. The division took place on Thursday, when there appeared for the paragraph of the Address, approving of the policy of the Government, 231; for the Amendment, urging actual interference, 160; giving a ma- jority of 71 to the non- intervention Ministry. This decision cannot fail to be extremely agreeable to Lord FALMERSTON, inasmuch as the representatives of the French people have responded, loudly and warmly, to the denunciation of his Lordship's policy which the KING had previously bestowed upon it. The question now to be asked by OUR representatives is, whether, after this practical construction of the letter and spirit of the Quadruple Treaty, his Lordship will proceed singly in his mad career ? and, when he has in- volved us in a war— the end of which, who may live to see ; the consequences of which, who may venture to foretel— rise in the House of Commons, and, like another Coriolanus, exclaim triumphantly, " ALONE I did it— Boy !" Everybody gives Lord PALMERSTON credit for self- esteem and self- approbation; but if he persist in the course he has adopted, in direct opposition to the principle maintained by our allies, and admitted last session in the House of Commons in his own answers to questions, touching the employment of the Royal Marines with Colonel EVANS'S legion, we suspect he will find himself the only individual in the empire who holds a similar opinion of his wisdom or his consistency. WE are the last, as we ever have been, to boast of the re- action of which the proofs before us are now too numerous and too striking to admit of doubt. But it is with a pride and gratification which we cannot surpress, that we refer our readers— somewhat too late, from the hebdominal character of our paper, to hope that it will be new to them— to the report, copious as we can give it, of the banquet at Glasgow to Sir ROBERT PEEL, and of that splendid intellectual ban- quet, the Right Hon. Baronet's speech. We believe sincerely that such a speech and such an au- ditory never were before brought in contact. To praise Sir ROBERT PEEL— knowing as our readers do our feelings towards him. and our opinions of him— would be a puny attempt to " gild refined gold." We are not going to say one word about him. The speech he spoke, speaks volumes— it speaks HIMSELF ; and what we shall here confine ourselves to doing, is the collecting from the Scottish papers of honour, credit, and respectability, certain passsages descriptive of the scene which have not originated with the English journals, and which are quite worth parti- cular attention. The following article is from the Glasgow Courier :— On Friday evening, before leaving town, Sir ROBERT PERL put into the hands of the secretary to the banquet the following note, enclosing a banker's draft for two hundred guineas :— " Glasgow, 13th Jan. 183". " Robert Lamond, Esq. " My dear Sir,— I saw with great satisfaction that in the event ( not a very probable one, I fear) of the receipts of the festival of to- day exceeding the expenditure, the surplus was to be placed to the account of the public charities of the town. " Be good enopgh, in the course of to- morrow, to place the amount of the enclosed draft to the same account. " Very faithfully yours, " ROBERT PEEL." Now that this magnificent festival is over, we are anxious to put upon record a few details concerning it, which could not have found a place in our columns before. The number of persons present was 3,402— the number of tickets disposed of was 3,352— those presented to students, to the deputation from the operatives, and to the trades- men employed in erecting the edifice, 50. In the galleries alone there were i ,034 persons. By the sale of tickets, by entry money on Friday, and from other sources, the money collected amounts, we are informed, to 4,8581.15s., exclusive of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S splendid donation, but we have not yet learned what the absolute outlay was, and whether or not there is any chance of a surplus for the benefit of the poor. We sincerely hope it may be so; but the expense attending such a demonstration is great beyond all previous calculation. From a hasty survey of the list of names and residences, we would say that 2,000 were from Glasgow, or its immediate neigh- bourhood— not, of course, including Paisley, but only such subor- dinate towns and villages within a circuit of ten miles, as are known to be dependent on, or immediately connected with, the city. Of the arrangements we cannot speak in too high terms. There was no confusion, no tumult, no uproar. When the doors were opened a rush was expected, but no rush took place ; and in less than an hour, the magnificent temple was filled with a company of as much respectability as was ever before gathered together within the walls of a single apartment in this, or any other portion of the empire. Of the behaviour of the immense multitude which thus spontane- ously sought to honour Sir ROBERT PEEL, we caunot speak in terms of too high commendation. It was orderly beyond our most san- guine expectations; and when it is remembered that men of every age, of every degree of wisdom, and of every form of temperament, to the number of 3,500, were exposed for seven hours and a half to the highest species of excitement which can affect either the head or the heart of frail humanity, it may be allowable to boast of the proud fact, that one unruly person only was removed by the police. Of the splendour of the meeting we know not in what language to speak'; but this we can say, that to our dying hour we never can forget the loud, the simultaneous, the deafening shout, with which the Right Hon. Baronet was received. Let the reader imagine 3,500 men cheering from every quarter of a vast amphitheatre— let. him fancy the faces of this vast auditory all turned towards one spot— let him picture to himself this multitude, animated by one spirit, and influ- enced by one predominant feeling, the determination to honour, by a burst of enthusiastic applause, the great and good man who stood before them— and he may form some idea, however faint it may be, of this animating and glorious spectacle. Sir ROBERT was visibly affected. He bowed repeatedly, but he became pale, and gazeH around with an anxious eye on the movements of the living mass which surrounded him. He soon recovered, however, and when lie lose to return luajiks tor nls lieiUtn, looKeu wen auQ cneeilul. At other periods of the evening, the spectacle was also very ani- mated— we allude particularly to the tremendous cheers with which the healths of the KING, QUEEN, and Princess VICTORIA were drunk— and those in answer to the announcement of Sir ROBERT, that be would preserve entire the Established Church of the united empire. Altogether this has been the grandest and most magnificent meeting that was ever held in Glasgow for any public purpose what- ever, and the interest excited by it has been in proportion to its im- portance. As a proof of this we may be allowed, without vanity, we hope, to state, that on Saturday we sold 6,000 copies of the Glasgow Courier, an impression greater, we believe, than was ever belore thrown off in this city, and which we could not have accomplished without the aid of Mr. K H ULL'S steam press, whichprinted, during the dav, at the rate of900 copies per hour. Even with this large number, the supply was inadequate to the demand, as our office was literally blockaded during the whole day with crowds of people anxious to procure copies. " The arrangements of Capt. MILLER, of the Police, on this interesting occasion, were excellent, and in the event of any accident from fire, six men were in readiness with the necessary- apparatus to give instant assistance, while two firemen were sta- tioned on the roof of the Banquet flail during the evening to insure safety. There was no more bustle with waiters in the immense hall than would have been with a company of 20 ; and by the division of labour, the wants of all were as readily supplied as they could have been, if only that number had been present. The wines were of the most superior quality— more particularly the port. The orchestral department comprised about 30 instrumental and 10 vocal per- formers. In conclusion, we may state, that never, on any former occasion, was such a splendid demonstration of public feeling witnessed in Scotland, and never was the spirit of Conservatism so completely and unequivocally evoked. In magnitude and intensity of interest the scene was one such as our forefathers nev » r saw, and one which, in all likelihood, our children may never have the opportunity of witnessing. Corroborative accounts of the splendour of this entertain- ment, and the unanimity aud zeal of the assembled thousands, come in from every quarter; but as we say— aud have always said— FACTS are " the ware in which we deal. The truth is before our readers, and considering that we have been always the least ready to exult in what is called Conservative re- action, we think it best to trust to facts to work our conver- sion. In the columns of our reporter will be found as much of the details of this splendid banquet, as we have under our limited circumstances space for; aud in the same department will also be seen the accounts of the great Oxford Conservative meeting, the Kent great Conservative meeting; and the great meeting of Nottinghamshire: to which we also refer our readers with the highest gratification. The truth is, the nation is roused; aud happy are we to find that PEEL stands forward as our champion. We may be supposed to presume when we call him PEEL. We speak of PITT, and ( sometimes) of Fox— we give them no other dis- tinctions ( as some one said about giving JULIUS C. ESAR his rank as General); aud we do rejoice that since we have lost, in the course of nature— PITT, we still possess a PEEL. Sure we are, that the noble, manly declarations which he made at Glasgow, will gain him thousands— ay, millions of supporters. The PEOPLE want a LEADER— a firm, a bold, a prudent, and an honest patriotic leader— superior in intel- lect, purely independent in circumstances— a man to whom no inducement can be held out to swerve from the strict path of public duty; and who— if his fortune did not place him higher above the power of temptation— would from inherent principle " Stand upon the ground of his own honour, And maintain it." Such a man, then, the country has in Sir ROBERT PEEL; and the country knows it. But we have done: we professed merely to record the great, the splendid honours which have been done to him— we have involuntarily attempted to ex- press an opinion of our own. If anything were wanting to prove the effect which this tribute has produced, it is to be found in the bitterness of O'CONNELL, and the Listoniau evolutions ofLord MORPETH at Leeds. THE Ministers have been at their favourite trade of pitch- forking— at least so the Morning Chronicle says. That soft- speaking organ of Government gives us the following announce- ment on Friday:— " We are enab'led to announce the following Peerage creations:— Lord HOWARD, of Effingham, to be created Earl of EFFINGHAM ; Lord DUCIE to be created Earl of DUCIE and Baron MORETON ; Lord YARBOROUGH to be created Earl of YARBOROUGH and Baron WORSLEV ; EDWARD BERKELEY PORTMAN, Esq., to be created Baton PORTMAN ; THOMAS ALEXANDER FRASISR, of Lovat, Esq., to be created Baron LOVAT; WILLIAM H ANITURY, Esq., to be created Baron BATEMAN, of Shobden, county of Hereford." The elevation of Lord DUCIE, we are told upon the same authority, will be peculiarly gratifying to all good Reformers, because lie has been so long devoted to their cause. We should have thought that the appointment of Lord SEGRAVE to the Lieutenancy of the county might have satisfied these moderate persons; and what even more surprises us than the acknowledged necessity of pandering to the political taste of the Radicals, is the mode in which the " flattering unction'' is administered. The Radical cry all over the country is " Down with the Lords," and yet whenever they are to be conciliated, lialf'- a- dozen, or ten, or twenty, as the case may be, of their particular friends, are converted into Lords on the shortest possible notice. Everybody knows the history of Lord YARBOROUGH'S elevation ; but we should suppose just now an accession of a higher dignity in the Peerage would not be particularly ac- ceptable to his Lordship. To the gentlemen who have been pitchforked upon the present occasion no possible objection can be made. We miss the name of one warm partisan of the Ministry, which certainly ought to have appeared in this batch. The fact we suppose to be, that the Minister knows he is sure of him, and therefore casts his pearls before the waverers. WE regret to announce the death of the Earl of ROSSLYN, which took place at his seat in Scotland on Thursday morn- ing at four o'clock. His Lordship was one of the oldest Ge- nerals in the army, and has held several important Cabinet offices. We shall next week submit a brief memoir of his Lordship, by whose demise a vacancy occurs in the command of a cavalry regiment, and in the Older of the Bath, of which his Lordship was a Knight Grand Cross. WE last week offered some few observations upon the Oath, administered under the fatal Emancipation Act, to Popish Members of Parliament, in which we felt it our duty to make some observations upon the change which is alleged to have taken place in the character aud principles of Popery during . the last century. Our attention has been drawn to a very curious article from the pen of the Rev. WILLIAM BAILEY, which appears in the Gentleman's the same Hohenloe's harlequinry, than in praising Jesuits, and Magazine tor tne present montb, under ttie title ot liisliop Murray andBossuet upon Charity. It is impossible for us to spare adequate space for its insertion entire— however satisfied we are ot its importance— but as just before the meeting of Parliament ( after which we flatter ourselves we shall have plenty to do to report the proceedings of our representatives after our own fashion), we can contrive to squeeze a little, we think we can do nothing mote serviceable to the cause to which we are pledged, than to give our readers a portion of the text, inevitably omitting the annotations, which entirely substantiate and fully corroborate the state- ments of the Reverend author. It seems that Mr. BAILEY has previously written some papers in the Gentleman'' s Magazine, ou the subject of BOS- SUET'S defence of himself; but with that we have little to do in the present case, because all we want is to have Mr. BAILF. Y'S statement with regard to Dr. MURRAY, not as the advocate of BOSSUET, but per se as the leading advocate in the cause of those who want to make the Protestants be- lieve that the character of Popery has in modern days been altered. Mr. BAILEY says:— In Dr. Murray's address to the Protestants of the empire, he solemnly renounces the wonted intolerance of his Church ; he de- nounces it as " by- gone" and " antiquated," and professes absolute love to Protestants ; he calls them iiis " beloved fellow Christians," and for an unimpeachable authority in doing so, he quotes Bossuet; nay more, he pledges himself that any one who reads Bossuet, will be " sure of a defeat !" So much for Dr. Murray and Bossuet. Now for Mr. O'Connell, whom, we may notinaptlv, with Pope Alexander, address as " One of the Begging Brethren !'' Mr. O'Connel], like Dr. Murray, continually professes universal charity and liberty of conscience. In the debate on the " Foreign Enlistment Bill," he said, " Religion was never instituted to be fought for. It was mixing the cup of blood with the Chalice of Salvation." On the 26th March, 1834, he said in the House, " The most sincere of his com munior. were the most convinced of the right of every human being to worship bis God according to the dictates of his own conscience. It is a violation of what, he thought, the prerogative of the Lord, and the rights of man, to interfere by force, fraud, or temptation, between- man and his God." In his address to the Dissenters, shortly before " Emancipation," he says, " The Catholics of Irelaud are devoted with equal warmth, and if possible, with more persevering zeal to the cause of religious freedom. The Catholic prelates eagerlvjoin the Catholic laity in the assertion of the principle of liberty of conscience." But let us contrast Mr. O'Connell's professions with a few of the late and present most oracular " prelates." In Pasto- rini's " Prophecies," universally circulated by the Romish Priests, some years ago, in Ireland, Protestants are called " locusts," and " the Subjects of the Devil." The late Dr. Doyle declared, " If a rebellion were raging from Carrickfergus to Cape Clear, no sentence of excommunication would ever be fulminated by a Catholic pre- late." Again, he threatened that Catholics would " league with Beelzebub against Protestants;" that they " deem the Altar of the Protestant Church profane," and every " parish Church" to be " a standing record of the right of conquest, or the triumph of law over equity !" The present Romish Archbishop of Tuam, Dr. M'Hale, in his Pastoral of 1831, says, that the people of Ireland looked, and ought to look, upon the Protestant Bishops as mere laymen; he calls for their immediate downfall, and adds, that the poor would rejoice on finding the funds, which the Bishops had io long wrung from them, restored to their proper owners! And when the interests of the foreign Priefct of the Vatican require it, the charitable professions of Mr. O'Connell himself, always embody themselves in the more tan- gible shape of " death's head" threats, and other such substantial war- hoops of rebellion and blood. Two or three years ago, when occasion served, upon haranguing an Irish mob on a Sunday, he pointed to them the relics of some Romish ruins, which were in view, and denounced the " Saxon Barbarian," who had demolished tlieir beautiful temples ! In the debate on " the Coercion Bill," Mr. O'C'onnell said, " If England were to go to war, but she dated not to do so, then Ireland ( i. e. Romanists) would be her bitterest foe, and join her arms to those of the enemy." And to what does all this tend? Why, to warn us of that crisis, which the Papacy is secretly essaying to hasten, but which, when the mask is on, they would fondly disguise with tirades about charity, & c. And the " Ambitious Termagant" of Rome, as Dr. Geddes, one of her own Priests, called her, has more than once condescended to admit us to a peep at her cloven feet. PiusVII. in an " Official" to the Irish Romish Bishops, in 1816, " presumes that " Emancipation" will include the restoration of their Bishops to the House of Lords! Also one of the chief political organs of France, " the Gazette de France," of July 16,1830, triumphantly re- echoes the aspirations of Pius. The Gazette pro- phesies that " Universal Suffrage, and that the Catholic and Apos- tolic Church of Rome, shall be established in the three kingdoms, Great Britain, France, and Ireland!" But let us return to Dr. Murray's, Bossuet's, and Mr. O'Connell's views of charity and liberty of conscience. Mr. O'Connell in one of his last productions, says, " The words Jesuit and Jesuitical are used for the purposes of vitu- peration; almost every philosophic mind recognises the truth, that the Jesuits were, and 1 trust will long continue to be, amongst the greatest benefactors to literature and religion that the world ever produced." These Jesuits, in whose moral andliterary prowess Mr. O'Connell reposes such implicit reliance, in their usual manner of showing their approbation, published a most splendid edition of all Bossuet's writings: for the Jesuits then, as they now do, almost worshipped Bossuet. Here then have we Dr. Murray, the whole College of Jesuits, and Mr. O'Connell, hobbling after them, holding up Bossuet as a heaven- borne model of charity, and as such, able to " defeat surely" all Protestants, and to repel all their calumnious imputations about Romish intolerance, & c. Now everybody knows that Bossuet's most triumphant masterpiece, in defence of his Church, is his " Histoire des / ' ariations des Eglises Protestantes." Bossnet, in the above work, actually insists that the " persecution of Heretics is a point not to be called in question ; ' that " the use of the sword, in matters of religion and conscience, is an undoubted right;" that " there is no allusion more dangerous than to consider toleration as a mark of the true Church ;" and that the Church of Rome is the most intolerant of all Christian sects. It is her holy and inflexible incompatibility, which renders her severe, unconciliating, and odious to all sects separated from her. They desire only to be tolerated by her; but her holy severity FORBIDS SUCH INDULGENCE." Hide your diminished heads, ye Rhemish and Dens' Theology exhibitions! Veil your faces, ye applauders and vindicators of Bossuet! Oh! that this one fact, with its whole array of circumstances, were well circu- lated through all Christendom! Now, we ask, did these speculative dogmas end in sound and fury, and nothing else ? nay, nay, Bossuet was a man of deeds as well as words. He was one of'those incarnate fiends, who contrived to set on foot the appalling massacres of the French Protestants, " which once ravaged the tairest provinces of France with the firebrand of devastation, and blighted for ever her moral escutcheons. A highly tahnted author says upon this subject, " The persecution in France gave Protestants another lesson; it showed them the danger of trusting to those representations of the principles of the Romish Church, which her Ecclesiastics may deem it expedient to make to Protestants, for the purpose of gaining a special object. The atrocious perfidy and dreadful persecution advised by Bossuet himself, were a tremendous commentary on his new and conciliating ' Exposition of the Catholic Church' " Nor is Bossuet alone in his views of charity and liberty of con- science. Long since his day, such views have had the infallible sanction of pontifical authority. Pius VII. in a " Circular" to the Cardinals, in 1808, declares that Toleration or Freedom of Conscience, is " contrary to the canons, and to the councils, and to the Catholic Religion." The present Gregory XVI. in his " Encyclical" for 1833, denounces by name " Liberty of Conscience" as " a most pestilential error," and " which, adds the Pope, " the unblushing impudence of some has held forth as an advantage to religion." Such ex ca- thedra injunctions are, in the words of the noted Dr. Troy, " immutable articles of Faith," and therefore upon pain ofdamnation, ought to be equally on the lips& ts in the hearts of Dr. Murray and Mr. O'Connell, and fellows. I think, Sir, that Dr. Murray, in plpce of falsifying Bossuet and his whole Church, had much better been writing his Pastorals, as he once did in company with Doctors Doyle and Milner, in recommen- dation of Hohenloe's miracle- mongering! And I think, too, Sir, that Mr. O'Connell had also better been thus ridiculously employed as he likewise once was, in publicly avowing, upon oath^ his credence i » January 22 JOHN BULL. 716 talking of charily! If the heroism of these chivalrous knights had rested satisfied with such Quixotic feats, and had not been plied to poison and rend the social fabric, I, for one, would not have tried to disturb their dreams; I should have left the canvass and genius of another Hogarth, morally and amusingly, to depict their mummeries and nonsense! . ' I beg to conclude, in the words of Burnet, 1 o hear rapists declare against persecutions, and Jesuits cry up liberty of conscience, are, we confess, unusual things; yet there are some degrees of shame, over which when inen are once passed, all things become so familiar to them, that they can no more be put out of countenance." This paper appears to us, to be an infallible antidote to Doctor MURRAY'S jesuitical " Address to the Protestants of the Empire,"* and throws the whole of the Papistico- liberal school upon their backs. When we bestowed our merited praise upon the periodical in which it has appeared, we certainly were not aware that so powerful an article was con- tained in its padres. We are as it is compelled to do it an ill- justice by curtailing it; this, however, we cannot avoid, and we are glad that it has come to our knowledge at a time when we were able to spare even so much room as we devote to it to- day. THE detestation of the New Poor Laws isliouily increasing, and we submit, with great pleasure, the proper manifestation of feeling, which in parishes, which are even— strange to say— well affected to the Government, has been made. From Islington, we find the following report:— ISLINGTON PARISH. Thursday evening a meeting of the vestrymen of the above parish was held in the Church " to receive from the Churchwarden and overseers of the poor a communication from the Poor Law Com- missioners of England and Wales, declaring that the regulations of the New Poor Law Act will be introduced into this parish from and after the 7th of February next, and to take such measures thereon as may then appearnecessary, Mr. JOHN NICHOLLS, the Churchwarden, in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said that, having received a communication from the Poor Law Commissioners, he had taken the earliest opportunity of calling a vestry meeting to lay the same before them for considera- tion . At the same time he begged to tell them that the power of the Poor Law Commissioners was absolute, and that the inhabitants of the parish had no power to prevent them from carrying their inten- tions into effect; and as such was the case, he thought it would be better for the vestry to render the Commissioners every assistance in their power than to enter into opposition, which must prove to be of no avail. The VESTRY CLERK then read the communication from the Poor Law Commissioners. The CHAIRMAN then said that since the receipt of the above com- munication, he had written to the Poor Law Commissioners, request- ing they would postpone the introduction of the new system into the parish until the 25th of March, as trustees would have to be shortly elected under the old system, and if the new one were introduced, an election of guardians under it must take place immediately after- wards. He had that evening received an answer to his letter, stating that the Poor Law Commissioners regretted that they could not consent to the delay proposed, and assigning as a reason that the New- Registration and other Acts were about to come into operation, the provisions of which had some reference to the Poor Law Amend- ment Act. The churchwardens had in consequence proceeded at once to appoint a Revising Barrister under the new Act, and had selected Sir. Bodkin to fill that situation. A VESTRYM AN— H e are all satisfied with our present system, which enables us to provide for the wants of ihe poor. 1 hope it is not true that the Poor Law Commissioners were invited to come among us. ( Cries of " It is true.") The CHAIRMAN— It is enough for us to know that they have power over us, and we cannot resist them. It is our duty to obey the law of the land. Another PARISHIONER— That's all very well, but how long will it he the law of the land ? I know that whenever a general election takes place, if the Members for Finsbury do not promise to do all in their power to get this odious Act repealed, they have no chance of being re- elected. A VOICE— Ay, and let the county Members look to it if they wish to keep their seats. Mr. WOODWARD moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman; upon which The Rev. Mr. BAKER said he could not help expressing his asto- nishment, notwithstanding the declaration from the Chairman that all resistance to the authority of the Poor Law Commissioners would be useless, that in such an extensive parish as Islington not one person could be found at a meeting like the present to stand up in vindication of the rights— he would say emphatically the rights— of the poor. ( Hear, hear.) Not a day elapsed but the newspapers teemed with accounts of the effects of the New Poor Law Hill— of the murder of illegitimate children—( Hear, hear;— of cruelty towards the aged and the helpless—( Hear, hear)— of persons perishing from want of the com- mon necessaries of life. ( Hear, hear.) Knowing all these things, and they were as well known as anything could be— A Voice— Yes, from newspaper authority. Mr. BAKER— Well, newspaper authority which none has ventured to contradict. ( Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN— I must put an end to this discussion. The Act to which the Rev. Gentleman has referred is the law of the land, and it is our duty to obey it. This declaration from the Chairman put a stop to all discussion, and after thanks had been voted to him, the meeting adjourned. When the Session of Parliament opens, please GOD, we will bring forward such a mass of evidence illustrative of the barbarities, the miseries, and the mortalities connected with this cold- blooded job, as shall shiver the whole hateful fabric to its foundation. What do the Commissioners know of the mi- series, of the tortures, which aged parents and relations suffer from the uncalled- for banishment from their native parishes ? What do they know of the groans and tears which overwhelm the old and wretched by the enforcement of the odious enact- ments of this measure? We do not expect Commissioners, paid at the rate of thousands upon thousands a- year for sign- ing their names every quarter- day, to dive into those miseries and look at this wretchedness; but we tell the Commissioners that people of as good character as themselves, and of much higher rank, who ate really interested in the fate of their poor neighbours, see and hear much of it, as we will take care to show, the moment the hateful subject is dragged be- fore the House of Commons. " But till then what is to be done ?" as the Churchwardens of Islington say. " The Com- missioners have power over us— we cannot resist them." The question to be tried is, whether we can or cannot. Good God! to think that these benevolent Whig- Radicals, the philanthropists, the relievers of distress, the reformers of abuses, should be the people to plunge the poor— paupers, too, as most of them are themselves— into such a depth of misery against the will of the people, who are ready to sup- port them. The answer is, JOB, JOB, JOB— COMMISSION, COMMISSION, COMMISSION— CONCENTRATION, CONCENTRA- TION, CONCENTRATION. The people, however, will not bear it, and that, the respectable Lord JOHN RUSSELL will very soon find out. For the present we conclude by submitting a few brief, quaint, and cogent reasons against the odious tyranny. 1. It subverts that excellent statute the 43d of Elizabeth. 2. It estranges the minds of the poor from their superiors, upon whom they ought to look with respect; and excites them to the com- mission of crimes. 3. It has a direct democratic tendency, and tends to anarchy and confusion. 4- It places the Magistrates in a wrong position, as it makes them subordinate to the Guardians of the poor, and is a vain usurpation of their lawful authority. 5. It cannot, in common justice, be applied alike to all cases circumstances, and characters. The deserving poor are con- founded with the undeserving, the industrous with the idle, the honest with the dishonest, and the orderly with the disorderly. 6. It gives an indefinite, irresponsible, and arbitrary power to the Commissioners and the Guardians actiug under them. 7. 11 contains the greatest infringement of liberty known in this country in modern times. 8. It. punishes poverty and old age as crimes, and does not afford sufficient relief to the poor, espcially the aged and infirm. 9. The dietary tables are too scanty and deficient, and seem to be framed as an experiment to try on how little food a pauper may subsist. 10. While too much power is given to Commissioners and Guardians, too little power is allowed to the Justices and Overseers, as well as to medical men, in difficult and dangerous cases— to Coroners and constables in the execution of their office. 11. It stands opposed to the principles and practice of Christian charity. These objections are plainly stated, and appear to us, unan- swerable. A VERY great sensation has naturally been created by the stoppage of the house of ESDAILE— called Sir JAMES ES- DAILE'S— no such person, we believe, being in existence. As we know nothing about the circumstances, we think it " both safest and best,"' as GAY says, to gather our information from the correspondents of the morning papers. It appears that the house of ESDAILE and Co. had not only a vast number of customers in London, but that it was agent for upwards of seventy country banks. As we honestly confess we never could understand tile acknowledged principle of banking, or reconcile to ourselves the possibility of a stop- page of a firm whose business it is to take care of its customers' money, we beg to decline any disquisition into the affair here, leaving the rest in the active hands of those who are prepared to subscribe to the doctrine, that the moment I pay five pounds into the house of Mr. TOMKINS, or Mr. JACKSON, for security sake, that those five pounds become by law the property of the said Mr. TOMKINS and Mr. JACKSON, instead of me. The theory seems beyond measure absurd— the practice is universal, and " The law allows it, and the court awards it." Now, then, for this affair. The Post . says:— As certain misapprehensions seem to exist in the commercial world, with regard to the arrangements entered into on Monday last between the Bank of England and the house of ESDAILE and Co., and the circumstances which led to those arrangements, we think it necessary to recur to the subject of the temporary stoppage of the latter establishment, which, unfortunately, took place shortly before they had been brought to a conclusion. We are enabled to state, in the most positive manner, that if Messrs. ESDAILE and Co. had allowed themselves, in consequence of anything which transpired at the Bank on Saturday, to make sure of the assistance required by them from that body, they did so on the slightest possible grounds. An intimation was certainly given on the day named, that the firm was under embarassment, and that, unless the Bank came to its support, it might be compelled forthwith to suspend its payments. But the only answer that was given to this intimation by the indivi- dual Directors in attendance was, that a meeting of their members should be called for the Monday, and ameeting was called on that day accordingly. It was, of course, impossible that any other answer could have been given to an application of so delicate a nature, for although the parties receiving it in the first instance might have been averse to the system of liquidation, as recently acted upon in the case of another banking establishment, yet, coming as it did from a house of the highest character, tlieir conduct would have been greatly and justly complained of hadit not met with the most respectful attention from them. At the meeting on Monday the affairs of Messrs. ES- DAILE and Co. came for the first time under the investigation of the Board, and so great was the diversity of opinion among the Directors present, as to the propriety of acceding to the application for the con- sideration of whichtliey had assembled, that it was not until a very late hour in the day that they were enabled to come to a decision upon it, and it is by no means improbable that that decision might, after all, have been unfavourable to Messrs. ESDAILE and Company had it not been for the very urgent representations of a number of the other private bankers, who had obviously an interest in the question. The arrangements, as they were eventually made, provide for the dis- charge of the liabilities of Messrs. ESDAILE and Company, a portion of the amount to be advanced by the Bank of England, for the pur- pose of being, as we have already stated, guaranteed by the private bankers. We said yesterday that we understood the accounts of f he various provincialbankingestablishments forwhom Messrs. ESDAILE and Company have acted as agents, were about to be transferred to the house of Sir RICHARD GLVNandCo. This does not turnout, however, to be the fact. No transfer of that nature is in contempla- tion, but we are happy to hear that the agencies of the whole have been satisfactorily distributed among the various London houses. What we hear ourselves is, that the result of all this will be the winding up of the affairs of the house, and its ceasing to exist as a banking house. We hope that none of the cus- tomers will suffer. AMERICAN affairs crowd upon us. We, however, enfreat our readers not to suffer their minds to be diverted by tran- sient circumstances such as the recent fire at Washington or the late fire at New York, from the points of pressing and vital importance to the interests of Great Britain. The situa- tion of this country, as temporarily implicated with that of the United States, is precisely the same as that of a shopkeeper in Holborn or Regent- street, whose real capital is at stake by having his next door neighbour underselling him, without any capital at all, and not caring whether the Insolvent Court or Bankrupt Court will have the honour Qf making the " equit- able adjustment." Let the President of the United States blacken NICK BID- DLE of Pennsylvania, and let NICK BIDDLE of Pennsylvania blacken the President of the United States, as much as they please— cuibono? AVhat is it to us? Should bolh succeed in proving the other a swindler, it will not put a mutton chop into tile mouth of a manufacturer of bobbin- nets at Notting- ham. But now as the little boys and girls are about to go fo school after their Christmas holidays, we beg their mamas and papas to set them a few simple sums of arithmetic, whereby they may prove that two and two make— that they really and verily do make— four. The following is from an American paper, but re- published in the Times of Tuesday last:— NEW YORK, December 23. SPECIE.— We notice a considerable arrival at New Orleans from Mexico. For some time past the receipts from that quarter had been suspended, owing to the troubles of the country. There is no export. The price of bills has now fallen so much that there can be none to Europe for some months to come. Our cotton crop is now going forward, and by some it is believed it will amount to near 100,000,000 dollars. If this be correct, England particularly must con- tinue to be m debt to us. We are often struck with statements of the balance of trade. We copy the following, whichis from the Secretary of the Treasury's report;— IMPORTS AND EXPORTS FOR SIX YEARS, ENDING 30TH SEPTEMBER. Dollars. Dollars. Imports for 1831 103,000,000 Exports 81,000,000 Excess 22,000,000 Imports for 1832 101,000,000 Exports 87,000,000 14,000,000 Imports for 1833 108,000,000 Exports 90,000,000 18,000,000 Imports for 1834 126,000,000 Exports 104,000,000 22,000,000 Imports for 1835 149,000,000 Exports 12f, 000,000 28,000,000 Imports for 1836 174,000,000 Exports 122,000,000 52,000,000 From a superficial view it would appear that we had fallen in debt 156,000,000 dollars in six years, and that last year we were in arrears 52,000,000 dollars, the latter sum alone greater than every dollar we have in the country. IN THE FACE OF ALL THIS APPARENT BALANCE AGAINST US, WE HAVE BEEN RECEIVING IMMENSE SUMS CONSTANTLY FROM EUROPE. How does this happen ? The fact is. the statement is fallacious, and although it is correct, yet it should be explained— for instance, all the whaling and fishing trade appears against us, when it is really in our favour. When the ships depart they take no cargo, but when they return they bring very valuable cargoes; several millions are therefore imported, still the country has nothing to pay for it, the same having been earned by the industry of our sea- men. So with an immense number of our freighting vessels which earn a rich freight out to Europe, and invest the same in foreign goods, which, when imported, appears so much, when the same has been paid for. By the skill and industry of our seamen numerous other items might be enumerated to show that the tables, however well they appear, are not to be relied on, and to the causual reader furnish an incorrect view of the case." As an illustration of this statement we submit the following :- NATIONAL DEBT. Years.

So much for bombast. The balance of trade, upon their own showing, between the Americans and Europeans, was in six years thirty mil- lions of dollars more than their national debt ever at any time amounted to. But, during these six years, according to the report of tbe Secretary of the Treasury, the banking capital has risen from 80 millions of dollars to 230 millions of dol- lars ! Hence, if two and two make four, the Ynnkees have run in debt the full amount of the balance of trade— file full amount of the deficiency arising from the non- payment of 20s. in the pound on every invoice, and the full amount of 250 millions of dollar notes to be redeemed IN SPECIE ! As to the argument about the " whalers" going out for " importations," it is too contemptible for notice, otherwise than to observe that no " whaler" ever left the United States and returned with an " importation" that paid its own cost and charges. Now, as we verily believe no words whatever of ours— nothing short of inspiration— could convey an idea of the tre- mendous consequences of tbe foregoing facts, we forebear to make any commentary of our own. We merely request the reader to peruse, with solemn attention, the following extract from the last " Message" of ANDREW JACKSON:— It is apparent, from the whole context of the constitution, as well a< 38 JOHN BULL. January 22 he history of the times which pave birth to it, that it wns the pur- pose of the Convention to establish a currency consisting of the pre- cious metals. These, from their peculiar properties, which rendered them the standard of value in all other countries, were adopted in this, as well to establish its commercial standard in reference to foreign countries by a permanent rule, as to exclude the use of a mutable medium of exchange, such as of certain agricultural commodities, recognised by the statute of some States as a tender for debts, or the still more pernicious expedient of a paper currency. The last, from the experience of the evils of the issues of paper during the revolution, had become so unjustly obnoxious as not only to suggest the clause in the constitution forbidding the emission of bills of credit by the States, but also to produce that vote in the Convention which negatived the proposition to grant powers to Congress to charter corporations, a pro- position well understood at the time, as intended to authorise the establishment of a national Bank, which was to issue a currency of ' Bank notes, on capital which was to be created to some extent out of Government stocks. Although this proposition was refused by a direct vote of the Convention, the object was afterwards in effect obtained, by its ingenious advocates through a strained construction of the constitu- tion. The debts of the revolution were funded at prices which formed no equivalent compared with the nominal amount of the stock, and under circumstances which exposed the motives of some of those who participated in the passage of the Act to distrust. The facts, that the value of the stock was greatly enhanced by the creation of the bank, that it was well understood that such would be the case, and that some of the advocates of the measure were largely benefitted by it, belong to the history of the times, and are well cal- culated to diminish the respect which might otherwise have been due to the action of Congress which created the institution. Next week, by way of relieving our intense feelings, as well as those of our readers, we will take with the Hon. Member for Southampton some real turtle, with a little lime juice in it. in the island of Cuba. ( To be continued.) The hoax of the Spanish Senora has of course exploded ; it seem that hysteria mania is by no means her complaint, but that " the plant" has had some other origin, the nature of which Lord JOHN RUSSELL must rise to explain. The girl whose absence was a " mystery" has made her appearance, and stated that the whole story from beginning to end was a Senora forgery. Sir F. ROE, with considerable delicacy, informed the lady when last brought before him, that " he was much HURT by the result of the investigation," and added, " he had now done everything which he conceived to be his duty in the matter, and he must confess that he could not conceive what object, if any, the Senora could have in view in deceiving him; but as a Magistrate, he must say that he believed the statements made to be untrue." After which the Senora " quitted the room, and was conveyed home in a hackney- coach." On Tuesday, a grand Conservative festival took place at Oxford. The Chairman of the day was Mr. W. H. ASHURST, late Member for the county, and Chairman of the Quarter Sessions. He was sup- ported on his right by the Earl of Macclesfield ( Lord Lieutenant of the county), and the Marquess of Chandos; and on his left by the Earl of Abingdon and the Earl of Jersey. Lord Villiers, Lord Nor- reys, M. P., Mr. Maclean, M. P., Mr. Blackstone, M. P., and the numerous influential gentlemen present occupied different situations in the hall. About 900 gentlemen sat down to dinner, and large bodies of the county farmers and agriculturalists dined at the seve- ral taverns in the city, and joined the company afterwards. The memberslof the Birmingham Political Council dined together on Monday. A year or two since a manifestation of political feeling by the " Council" would have been ushered in by a procession, and the assembling of the masses atNewhall- hill. Notonly the windows of the houses in the line of procession, but the house- tops, would have been crowded in acclamatory honour of that reform, which, as was exult- ingly announced, would be supported by the marching of 100,000 Brummagem patriots upon the metropolis. The town on Monday was as free from political excitement as a country village on a Sabbath; with the exception of the few Reformers scattered at " twenty- nine simultaneous dinners," the inhabitants of the town appeared to care or know little or nothing about tha " manifesta- tion." Mr. MUNTZ was the Chairman. The only note of the pro- ceedings worthy of record, was a speech of this admirable gentleman in toasting th, e People :— " He left the meeting to say whether a King could do without a people or a people without a King ? In America they had an exam- ple of what a people could do without a King, and in France, in the case of Charles X., they had an example of what a King could do without a people." We must not, however, omit to state that Mr. ATTWOOD promised very indifferent support to the Whigs, whom he designated as a " pettifogging, peddling" set, and who had " lost the confidence of the country." At the Oldham Operative Conservative dinner, last week, Mr. R S. SOWLER, of Manchester, said, in the course of a very able speech; " they were doubtless aware that a few days ago the Radicals of Rochdale had sent an invitation to Mr. O'CONNELL to visit their town. Well, the same ' amor nurnmi' which distinguished the Hon. Gentleman in the Carlow affair, had actuated him in his dealings with the Rochdale Rads. A friend had told him ( Mr. S.)— and he thought his statement might be relied upon— that Mr. O'CONNELL had written to Rochdale in reply to the invitation, and would only accept it on condition that he be paid the sum offifty pounds and his expenses! It was needless to say that the Radicals did not consider the Hon. Gentleman's oratory worth the money, ergo he was not going to Rochdale." DURHAM CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.— The fourth anniversary of this Association was celebrated at Mrs. WARD'S, the Waterloo Hotel Durham, on Tuesday evening last, on which occasion upwards of 100 of the neighbouring gentry, the merchants of the ports of Shields and Sunderland, and the tradesmen of Durham, sat down to a sump- tuous repast. The chair was occupied by the Hon. H. T. LIDDELL. The proceedings were of the usual cheering description; and may perhaps afford a hint to those who look to a dissolution of Parlia- ment as likely to add to the Whig- Radical majorities in Parliament. REPRESENTATION OF PERTHSHIRE.— This county is again the scene of a keen political canvass— the fourth within little more than three years. Our notice some weeks ago regarding the situation of mat- ters with its late representative, Sir GEORGE MURRAY, would prepare our readers for this result; and al ; hough we might have sooner stated that a canvass had commenced on the part of Lord STORMONT, it has only been within the last ten days or a fortnight that it has assumed a shape capable of being referred to more authentically than as a report. A requisition to his Lordship is now in course of signature through the county.— Perth Courier. BOROUGH OF DEVIZES.— A Conservative Association has been re- cently formed, comprising a list of about 300 agriculturists and trades- men of the first reputation in the town and neighbourhood. Addi- tions aie daily being made to the list, and a very earnest desire is exhibited by all classes of persons to rally around and protect the institutions of the country. The Irish Metropolitan Conservative Society have adopted and published the following resolutions:— Resolved,— That as the " battle of the Constitution must be fought at the Registries aud the Hustings," we are convinced that " the unconstitutional proceedings of Mr. O'CONNELL and his supporters, in Ireland," call only be effectually opposed, and Protestantism and British connexion maintained by the promotion of local Registration Societies, for the purpose of securing a sound Conservative Constitu- ency, and the return of Conservative Members to Parliament. That, to attain these objects, a fund be raised by subscription to be called " THE IRISH CONSERVATIVE ELECTION FUND ;" And that the co- operation and contributions of our Conservative Friends in Great Britain be solicited. That Trustees ( not being Peers, or Members of Parliament, or persons likely to be candidates for seatsin Parliament) be appointed, in whose names and to whose credit such subscriptions shall be placed, and that the following Members be appointed such trustees: FRANCIS HODGKIDCON, Esq., LL. D. Vice- Provost, T. C. D. ROBERT HODGES EYRE, Esq., Macroom Castle. Major WILLIAM BERESFORD, County Wicklow. MOUNTIFORT LONGFIELD, Esq., LL. D. T. CD. — We trust this advertisement will not be slighted by our readers, and refer to another column for some remarks upon the subject, ex- tracted from the Ulster Times. THE NEW UNIVERSITY.— Lord BROUGHAM has withdrawn his name from the new University, a fact strongly indicative of his opinion as to the chance of its success. Dr. LOCOCK'S name does not appear in the published version of the charter, although he holds a seat in the Senatus; we presume that he has some " friend at court," who pro- cured its omission as an act of kindness.— Medical Gazette. The Conservative part of the town of Leicester were on Monday enlivened by dinners given at various inns, to upwards of 1,300 of the poorer classes, professing the good old principles. COUNTY OF TIPPERARY AND BOROUGH OF DUNGARVAN.— JOHN POWER, Esq., the step- son of the Hon. Member for Tipperary County, has addressed the electors of Dungarvan. It is said that in the event of his success he will, at the next general election, resign his pretensions in favour of Mr. SHEIL, and contest the county of Tipperary. BRECONSHIRE ELECTION.— Major GWYNNE HOLFORD, a sour Whig, as a candidate for Breconshire at the next election, has solicited the vote of PENRY WILLIAMS, Esq., the Lord Lieutenant, who is a Whig gentleman. Mr. WILLIAMS, than whom no man is better informed on the subject, writes in answer—" Having always deprecated any attempt at disturbing the peace of the county without a reasonable prospect of success, and feeling confident from Colonel WOOD'S per- sonal interest, as well as the decided prevalence of Tory principles in this county, that your opposition would be fruitless, 1 must decline promising you any support in case of a dissolution of Parliament."— Worcester Guardian. The London Mercury— one of the ultra- Radical journals— is work- ing hard to upset the Government and ruin the influence of Mr. O'CONNELL. Both the one and the other it describes as " obnoxious to the English Radicals;" " the Whigs," it adds, " are putting their stores of cunning in requisition, in order to meet Parliament with as much effect as possible:— and truly the Whigs will need their whole stock of cunning, if they would maintain themselves in office for three months longer. The recess has changed their position most wonder- fully." QUEEN'S COUNTY.— Mr. FITZPATRICK, claimant to the Irish estates of the late Earl of UPPER OSSOR Y, has declared himself a candidate for the Queen's county. The North Hants Conservatives are to have a grand dinner at Winchester, on Friday, the 27th inst.; Sir W. HEATHCOTE, Bart.., in the chair, who is expected to be restored to the representation of that division of the county at the next election. A vacancy has occurred in the representation of the county of Bucks by the death of JAMES B. PRAED, Esq. We learn that a requi- sition is about to be forwarded to WILLIAM TYRINGHAM PRAED, Esq., the brother of the late Member, inviting him to come forward as a candidate. Remembering the demonstration of the sentiments of the county afforded by the recent meeting at Aylesbury, we pre- same there will be no opposition to his return. So completely have the stores in the various dock- yards been used up for the last four years, that when a supply of sails, yards, '& c. was required for the Mediterranean fleet, they were obliged to refuse them on the ground of incapacity to supply them from the Government magazines. During; three Jyears large sails have been cot up for small vessels; small sails enlarged for large ships, and no new supply has been sent into any of the dockyards during the time. Now the time of emergency has arrived, the naval service of the kingdom is found to suffer severely from this misplaced economy. Indeed, were the demands now made satisfied, the sudden call for labour and material would so much enhance the cost, that the ex- penses incurred would be nearly double the amount of having kept on the establishments which were dismissed.— North Devon Journal. The Conservatives of the western division of the county of Kent on Wednesday held their first annual dinner at Maidstone, when about 600 of the leading noblemen and gentry residing in and connected with the county, sat down to a sumptuous repast, which was served up in the large room at the Corn Exchange. The list of stewards, whether as regards the rank and station of the individuals, or the aggregate number, presented features unprecedented in the annals of even Conservative re- unions. There were no less than 187 in all, at their head being 17 noblemen of the first rank and influence in the county, and the remainder comprising the representatives of the leading families in this division. Viscount Marsham took the chair, and was supported by the High Sheriff, Sir Edward Cholmeley, Der- ing, Bart.; Sir W. Geary; Sir E. Knatchbull; Mr. J. P. Plumptre, M. P.; Lord Mahon, M. P.; Sir Brook Bridges, Bart.; Mr. Wynd- ham Lewis, M. P.; Col. Austen; Lord Sydney; Lord Brecknock; Sir Thomas Wilson; Sir F. Stapleton; Hon. Captain King; Mr. S. R. Lushington, M. P.; Sir P. H. Dyke; Col. Bingham ; Sir John P. Beresford, Bart.; the Hon. F. Noel; Sir John Deas Thomson, < fcc. & c. The meeting was addressed, amongst others, by the Chairman, Sir G. Filmer, Bart., Sir C. Dering, Lord Brecknock, Dr. Griffiths, Sir E. Knatchbull, Sir J. Croft, Lord Mahon, Lord Sydney, Mr. Hoare, & c.< fcc. A " scene" took place in the Dublin Rebellion Association, on Monday last. There was a " row" between Mr. DANIEL O'CONNELL and Father MALLEY'; " From words they almost came to blows;" butthe Priest had the shelter of his cloth and the demagogue the refuge of his " oath," and nothing " occurred more serious than abuse. Mr. O'CONNELL being the louder bully, of course triumphed ; the whole proceeding, however, was absolutely disgusting; and affords a pretty fair sample of what might be looked for if " we had but our own Parliament back again in College- green." We borrow a comment upon the business from the Morning Post :— " This scene presents another of those triumphs of browbeating brutality which have so often marked the political career of one who assumes the title of Liberator, chiefly, as it would seem, upon the s'rength of that coarse impudence and that vulgar cunning, by means of which he has contrived to trample upon better and abler men than himself, and to convert into the abject and submissive slaves of his domineering will all who have ever conspired with him in the vile fellowship of agitation. But although the low cunning and brutal insolence of the demagogue despot achieved a triumph upon this occasion, it is gratifying to remark that even in the narrow field, or what he arrogantly terms " his own Association," the victory was not won without difficulty and danger ; that the victor was more ruffled and perplexed than the vanquished ; and that the latter is one of a class against the members of which even Mr. O'CONNELL must not venture to prevail too often, if he would not risk the total and final extinction of his power." THE RECORD NEWSPAPER. ( Concluded from our paper of Jan. 8.) The same observation that I have made respecting the Morning Chronicle and the Globe, may also be made with regard to the at- tacks of the Record on the Edinburgh Review, which, although it has not thought fit to edify us with a quotation from one of these, valuable from their rarity alone, are of probably the same character as those on the other portion of the Whig and Radical press. While the Quarterly Review, the British Critic, Blackwood's Magazine, and the British Magazine, are recommended to be banished from the drawing- room, accused of Popery, denied to be respectable, and periodically defamed, the Edinburgh Review is merely spoken of in vague terms, as an objectionable publication; while those articles in it, which more particularly claim attention as being directed against our civil and religious institutions, appear specially to be disregarded by this avowedly valiant champion of both. But the editor of the Record contends that the attacks admitted by him to have been made on the British Magazine, and the Christian Knowledge Society, were not for the purpose of lowering the character or principles of those excellent supporters of Christianity, but would fain have us believe that his object has been solely to point out error in their constitution or proceedings; and, in fact, to benefit them by so doing. With regard to the abuse of the former of these, I will not here allege that the extraordinary misquotation of an article in the British Magazine, which was the subject of animadversion in the Record of the 8th of December, by the transposition of a paragraph, which the Editorof the / tecorrfadmitted gave it an " awkward effect," was done for the purpose of obtaining any unfair advantage in at- tacking the article, as the Editor, in the next number of the Record, acknowledges the error ; but I will quote such passages from the Record, relative to the British Magazine, as can bear no doubtful construction with regard to the object of the composer of them. " Such despisers of God and religion, as the John Bull, are sure to contemn men of our principle," quoth the Record; but the corre- spondence of that paper will serve abundantly to show that their principle" has excited the censure not only of what they would call the " Gentile world," but also of the supporters and correspondents of the Record. One of the latter, in a letter addressed to the Editor, on the subject of the British Magazine says, " I beg to disclaim parti- cipation in the tone and language which you yourself have thought pro- per on some occasions to adopt'towards him" ( the Reverend Editor). In the review of the Sermon by Mr. Dodsworth, to which I have before alluded, it is stated, " Errors of the kind, which we have considered it our duty to notice in the writings of Mr. Dodsworth, are in their proper place in the British Magazine, and there they could only have a reflective injurious influence on the true fold of Christ." The Editor of the Record accused you, Sir, of being the writer of the letter I addressed to you. This may serve perchance to throw some little light upon the practices of the Editor of the Record; and if any letter, in any newspaper, could ever be fairly suspected of having been compiled by the Editor of that paper for the most contemptible of purposes, that of extolling his own journal, and endeavouring un- fairly to depreciate and cast obloquy upon a contemporary, that from which the following extracts are taken, which was printed in the Record of the 8th of December in large type, and placed by the side of the leading article, may undoubtedly be looked upon as being so. The writer pretends to ask, " what character of readers subscribe to the Record, and what to the British Magazine ? I do not speak of opinions, but character." The writer then asserts that the British Magazine is taken in by " those among the Clergy whose characters will not bear the light of the Gospel sun. I speak of the fox- hunting, the card- playing, and theatre- frequenting, the patrons of the race- course, the musical festival, and the fancy ball." * * * " In my days of darkness and unbelief I moved among them. I speak the truth when I say that on the table of such men the Bri- tish Magazine and the John Bull lie in friendly nearness. I have seen them without wonder or surprise, but never once have I seen the Record in such company; I should have been astonished if I had."— Yet the Record has the criminal hardihood to assert that its sole object in attacking the British Magazine is not to injure or de- grade it, but to point out error. What, therefore, will the Record now say in its defence ? What will its supporters say to this, not merely vapid abuse as when at- tacking a radical or dissenting institution or journal, but, to the shameless accusation of, and vituperation against, and attempts to debase and lower the character of, these valuable religious and con- servative publications to which I have alluded ? With these quota- tions from its columns now before the public, will the Record still maintain mv accusations to be false ?" Will it again have the effrontery to tell its readers that they know them " to be pure and ab- solute falsehoods ?" Will it a second time attempt to shelter its shame- covered head with the Pharisaical exclamation, " such con- temners of God and religion as the John Bull must contemn men of our principle?" But all this will fail to blot out from its columns these indelible stains, doubly dyed there, by its utterance of such calumnies as I have quoted from them, and, as though that were insufficient, its denial of the utterance! To how pitiable a plight, ' midst all its scornful boastings, is this canting and fanatical declaimer now reduced ; driven at length to the extreme of denying the utterance of sentiments, of lan- guage, and of principles, which glare in every column of its num- bers. Its own offspring, when exhibited before it by the clear light of truth, appear so deformed and so hideous, even in its own eyes, that it loathes and disowns them! But what shall we say to the following passage extracted from the columns of the Record of the 22d of December, which, though of a character not unfrequently to be met with in its pages, places the charges in that paper in a much graver flight than I have before con- sidered them. In a journal professedly devoted to the cause of reli- gion, aud urging as an excuse for its frequent deviations from the course of general custom in its conduct, its enthusiastic desire to ad- vance these important principles, what will be said to the assembly of a society of Christians, which includes not only all the Prelates of our Church, but all the most revered and eminent among her laity as well as her Clergy, addressing their common Creator in behalf of the advancement of his doctrines, through the instrumentality of that Society, being made a subject of scorn, and selected as a topic for exciting the merriment of its readers. The passage in the Record to which I allude runs thus:—" What is doing in the Christian Know January 22 JOHN BULL. 712 ledge Society, is a question frequently asked, but not easily answered." • • • • " After some years of PRAYER and effort, comparatively little progress has been made, and that progress, it is to be feared, has chiefly been effected by the pressure f rom without." Are the ex- ertions, and the supplications for blessing on those exertions of the members of this venerable Society, to be sneered at and ridiculed by a newspaper, which not merely professes to be the supporter of re- ligion, but which only condescends to speak of the Editor of another journal as " such contemners of God and religion as must despise men of their principles ?" At such impiety as this, the Christian reader turns pale with horror, and instinctively shrinks away from imbibing pollution! Though ordinarily muffled in the garb of pre- tended sanctity, it will now be discovered that when the Record has a purpose to be obtained by appearing in another character, the veil is unceremoniously torn away, and the true cast of the features which it concealed is there presented to our gaze. Transfer this quotation, this scornful mockery of " prayer and effort," from the columns of the Record to those of the Cosmopolite, and it would there appear in suitable harmony with the avowed principles of that woi; k. Let the Editor invoke to his aid the shade of THOMAS PAINE— let him engage to join fellowship with him in his labours, the genius of C ARLILE— let him urge to co- operate with him in his efforts, the powers of ROBERT TAYLOR— but impiety more foul, the united efforts of even these, would be unable to forge! A HEADER OF THE RECORD. METROPOLITAN PRESS. The Radicals of Middlesex mean to dine together at the Theatre Royal, Drury- Lane to- morrow; and it is understood that yesterday " an undress rehearsal" took place behind the scenes, Joseph Hume himself being stage manager, in consequence of apprehensions aris- ing from the Roebuck and Molesworth party, who, it is teared, may disturb the harmony of the assembly by introducing a few sharps among the flats. How far the effort will succeed, we shall see ere long. Meanwhile, it will be well to consider the character of the meeting; and we are indebted to the Standard for a scrutiny into the affair:— " The Morning Chronicle was made to assureits readers, aweek ago, that, ' already the list of stewards had reched 500, and that great additions would be made before publication.' " At last, however, it became necessary to come to the point: and, on Monday morning, the long- promised list of stewards made its ap- pearance. When, lo! instead of more than 500 names, only 305 can be shown ; and, in these 305, such a mixture as never before was exhibited. [ It has since been increased to abcut 330.] " First, we have a chairman who is himself not an elector of the county : then we have 10 Peers, none of whom, of course, are electors, and at least half of whom have no imaginable connection with the county ; next we find 47 M. P.' s, only 15 of whom are voters of Mid- dlesex ; and lastly, come 247 persons of all classes— publicans, Soci- nian preachers, attorney's clerks, collectors of parish rates, < Src. & e.; out of which 247, only 110 are registered electors of the county. On the whole, then, amongst 305 stewards of a nominally Middlesex din- ner, there are but 125 who are even voters for Middlesex ! The Con- servatives, with half the trouble, found 200 electors ready to become stewards. This proportion, i. e. of 125 to 200, very accurately repre- sents the comparative strength of the two parties in Middlesex. " But what, then, is this dinner so absurdly called a ' Middlesex Reform Dinner ?' " It is a dinner of the General Reform Club; and the name of ' Middlesex' has been cunningly given to it by one or two of its pro- jectors, in order thereby to effect a manoeuvre by which they hope to save Mr. Ilume's seat; namely, by binding Mr. Byng up with him in a public coalition. They have succeeded in the first part of their object, namely, in effecting the junction; but its eftect will be just the opposite to what they intend. They cannot save Mr. Hume's seat; that is utterly gone; but they will seal the fate of Mr. Byng. By this public coalition, the minds of some few of the Conservatives of the county, whose lingering respect for Mr. Byng's private cha- racter overpowered their sense of public duty, have been fully de- cided, and it is now unanimously felt that the next contest must be for both the seats. " It is, then, first and foremost, a dinner of the General Reform Club, who provide as stewards 10 Peers and 47 Commoners— three- fourths of whom have no interest whatever in Middlesex. Never- theless, it is next thought expedient to call it a Middlesex dinner, and thus 110 more stewards are brought in. Then a general canvass is made of the metropolitan boroughs, and a dozen or two are obtained from the Marylebone and Pancras vestries; a score from the London Lumber Troop, and a few from the Tower Hamlets. And thus, at last, a grand total of 303 stewards is achieved, being, as we have shown, the actual strength of the Reform interest, in the dinner de- partment, in the whole of the metropolitan boroughs. As compared with the fifteen hundred gentlemen who acted as stewards in the six Conservative dinners of last year, this is obviously, and beyond all doubt, a most complete failure." PROVINCIAL PRESS. We have elsewhere inserted an advertisement issued by the Irish Conservative Association. The Ulster Times, in announcing the establishment Of " an Irish Election Fund," has the following re- marks :— " From the means by which the Government are attempting to swamp and O'Connellize the constituencies of Ireland, the transition is an easy one to the efforts by which they should be opposed. " The state of the Irish representation is asubject suggesting topics for consideration of vast extent, and of the most important interest. Were the history of that representation since the passing of the Re- form Bill written— it would afford a useful, as well as a curious les- son. But we are very sure the sum and substance of its instruction would be, that it is solely by the apathy and inactivity of the Protest- ants, that they do not return to Parliament a great majority of the Irishmembers. From the seats which exertions has gained, we may form something like a calculation of the number which indolence has lost— and is still losing. Experience, we believe, will fully bear us out in the assertion, that in no place where active and strenuous ex- ertion have been made by the Conservatives, have their exertions been unrequited by success. It is a fair inference from this indisput- able fact, that defeat is, in almost everyinstance, the just punishment of culpable remissness. As proof of our original positioiij we have a number of instances to refer to— we mention as those which suggest themselves at once. Carlow county and town— Dublin city— Queen's county— Monaghan— and last, not least, Belfast. The circumstances attendant on every one of these instances are fraught with instruction — and to the Irish Conservatives we must add— with reproof. They all inculcate the truth that Conservatism in Ireland has all the ele- ments of power, and that it is because these elements are not brought into action that itis defeated. _" It will be seen by the advertisement that the Metropolitan So- ciety proposes to apply the fund to two objects ; first, to facilitating and extending the establishment of local registration societies; and, secondly, to assist in bearing the expenses of Conservative candidates at elections. We do not hesitate to say, that if these two objects be judiciously pursued, and if adequate" means be supplied, another election will place the O'Connelhtes in a miserable minority of the representatives of Ireland. ' With regard to the importance of local registration societies, it is needless to offer any remark; all parties are agreed that they must be the instruments of the salvation of the country ; but few persons are aware of the difficulties which those engaged in the management of these societies have to encounter for want of funds, and the impracti- cability of procuring them. There is no registration body which has been more useful to the cause of Protestantism, than the Registration Committee of the city of Dublin. We may appeal to the members of that committee to bear us out in our assertion, that they carried on their operations in the midst of every discouragement which an ex- hausted exchequer could create. " The other object is, if possible, of still greater importance. It is only the expensive process of petitioning the House of Commons that now can strike off the votes which party judges place upon the poll. And this process must be resorted to at any cost. The Conservatives of Ireland must make np their minds at the next election to contest every county, and, when they are overcome by fictitious voters, to bring the case to the bar of the House of Commons. The process, we repeat, is an expensive one— but it is the only one by which we can rescue the constituencies from the host of unqualified intruders that have been foisted on them. Let there be funds enough raised to bear the expenses of a contested election in every county in Ireland, and of a petition, when such a step mty be necessary, and we pro- mise that, at another election, not six of the county Members will be- long to the ranks of O'Connell. The following observations, which we extract from the Hull Packet, deserves the serious attention of all Conservative representa- tives. We trust the Editorwill not next year find so gloomy a balance against the cause of truth and justice, the King and the country:— " During the progress of the last session, frequent complaints were made against the Conservative Members for their non- attendance in their places when the various divisions occurred. We have now before us * An Atlas, exhibiting at one view the vote of each Mem- ber on every question' given in the session of 1836, and, as it is arranged from the authorised lists, it may be consulted with confi- dence. An examination not only justifies the complaints made, but renders their reiteration imperative. Had the Conservative Mem- bers during the last session discharged their duties with half the zeal which their constituents did, there would have been an end of half the fears which now shake the" public mind; and the House of Peers would not have been left the only guardian of the Protestant faith, and of that constitution which at once owes to its existence, and cannot exist without it. " In the course of the session, 195 divisions took place: and, on looking through the Atlas, we find that there were but five Conserva- tive Members out of the 300 who were in their places even on one- half the occasions on which the House divided. The gentlemen who thus honourably distinguished themselves are:— Mr. A. Trevor, Sresent 128 divisions; Col. Percival, 101; Col. Sibthorp, 101; Mr. ohn Hardy, 100 ; and Col. Vere, 97. But what was the case with the Whig- Radicals ? Why, there were no less than 34 who each voted at above one- half of the divisions, the Destructive faction being most properly headed by Mr. Thomas Wakley, who was present at 173 divisions. The other Members of this britrade stood as follows : — Brotherton, 169; Col. T. P. Thompson. 160; Warburton, 159; Potter, 153; Thornley, 151; Aglionby, 149; Hume, 149; Lord J. Lennox, 142; Ewart, 137; Robert Steuart, 128; Chalmers, 127; E. J. Stanley. 127; Baines, 125; J. Murray, 125; G. F. Young, 118; Hawes, 117; Thomas Duncombe, 116; T. S. Rice, 115; Lord John Russell, 114; Tulk, 113; Robert Wallace, 112; W. Williams, 110; E. Ruthven, 107; Blamire, 10£ » ; Barnard, 105; F. T. Baring. 102; Rolfe, 102; Hector, 101; F. Maule, 101; O'Loghlen, 101; Hindley, 99; Lord A. Lennox, 99; Elphinstone, 98. " If we were to go lower in the scale of proportion, and select those who were present one- third of the divisions, we should find the com- parison still more unfavourable to the activity and attention of the Conservative Members. But we will not pursue the subject in that spirit. We advert to it not for the purpose of complaint, but in order to prevent their being any ground for complaint in future." FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. Letters have been received in town from his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex since his arrival at Newstead Abbey, in one of which, dated the 12th inst., his Royal Highness speaks of the accident he met with in the following terms:—" My carriage was nearly dashed to pieces against one of the posts of the turnpike between Newark and Southwell. However, as no one was hurt, I am truly thankful to have escaped with so little loss as that of nearly complete destruc- tion to my carriage." Lord Weymouth, whose death took place at Shanks- house, Dorset, was eldest son of the Marquess of Bath. He was in his 41st year. His Lordship married, in 1820, Harriette Matilda, daughter of Thomas Robbins, Esq., by whom we believe he has left no issne. His next brother, Lord Henry Frederick Thynne, who is married to a daugh- ter of Lord Ashburton, and who has issue male, will consequently succeed to the titles and estates of the deceased Viscount. We deeply regret to hear that Lord Farnborough is seriously ill in consequence of the death of his lamented lady, which occurred last week. Her Ladyship was the daughter of Sir Abraham Hume, by the Lady Amelia Egerton, only sister of the late Earl of Bridgewater, and was married to Lord Farnborough, in the year 1793. She was a lady of taste, genius, and sound understanding, highly accomplished, and universally beloved and esteemed by all who knew herv The remains of her ladyship were interred on " Friday. THE LATE DUKE of MONTROSE.— A month has elapsed since the demise of this amiable nobleman, and the body still remains in London. It was removed from the mansion in Grosvenor- square to St. Mark's Chapel, in North Audley- street, where it still lies. The delay has arisen from the state of the roads to Scot- land ; and the appearance of another snow- storm determined the executors to adopt the course which has been taken. The undertaker has since declared that it would take a month to reach the tomb, which is a superb mausoleum, erected in a field at Perth many gene- rations ago by aformer head of the House of Graham. Prince and Princess Polignac and family left the Terrace Hotel, Richmond- hill, for Slinden Hall, near Arundel, Sussex, the seat of Anne Countess of Newburg, on Tuesday. The Duke of Devonshire has sent the collection of Egyptian anti- quities his Grace purchased in town to Chatsworth. The Marquess and Marchioness of Aislesbury have arrived in Grosvenor- square, from their seat, Tottenham Park, for the season. The distinguished circle assembled at Tollymore Park, the seat of the Earl and Conntess of Roden, has not separated. Lord and Lady Powerscourt have arrived at this spleudid mansion, from Dublin. The Earl of Hardwicke is shortly expected at Wimpole House, his seat in Cambridgeshire, from Scotland. The Earl of Selkirk, who has been spending two years in the United States and Canada, reached Liverpool on Friday, in the packet- ship Oxford. Four steerage passengers died, during the passage, of the typhus fever. The Hon. Capt. Frederick Grey has been appointed Private Secre- tary to his brother, Viscount Howick, Secretary- at- War, in room of John Walpole, Esq. The gallant officer was for some time private secretary to Lord Auckland, while his Lordship was First Lord of the Admiralty. Prince Talleyrand is confined to his hotel by a cutaneous eruption. Nevertheless the Prince has not changed his habits, and he still plays at whist the whole of the evening. The Duke, we hear, will give a sumptuous dinner to Sir Robert Peel, and a large party, previously to the opening of Parliament. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort will return to town next week from their seat in Gloucestershire. The Primate of Ireland and Lady A. Beresford will remain at the Palace of Armagh until the first week in April. The Marquess and Marchioness of Sligo are entertaining a select circle of friends at Westport House, Ireland. The Marquess and Marchioness of Abercorn will shortly pay a visit to Henry A. Herbert, Esq., at his romantic seat bordering on the Lake of Killarney. The Noble Marquess and Marchioness have, during their stay at Baron's Court, considerably administered to the wants of the neighbouring poor. On Monday morning a hostile encounter took place at Paris, in the Bois de Boulogne, between Major Andrews and Lieutenant Barker, both in his Majesty's service. The meeting arose out of a discussion upon military tactics. After three exchanges of sho's the Major was mortally wounded in the breast. A stray ball struck the arm of M. Gamboyne, Mr. Barker's second. The Norwich Mercury savs, a correspondence between Lord George Bentinck and Major Keppel has been published, in which his Lordship having called on the Major to state whether certain offensive expressions were used by him at Lynn, the Major admitted them and gave his authorities. Lord George, in another letter, declared heliad nothing to do with other persons, distinctly averred the allegations to be false, and called on the Major to retract them unequivocally, and circulate his retractation to the same persons, and by his own messengers. This Major Keppel, under the convic- tion that he had been misled, immediately consented to as the most just and honourable reparation that he could make for an injury inflicted under erroneous impressions. A subsequent correspondence has taken place between the same parties, in consequence of an ex- pression in a letter from Lord George to the electors of Lvnn, charging Major K.' s mistake to an infirmity of memory. This ended by LordTG.' s acquitting Major K. of " having told a wilful false- hood." SOCIETY OF ARTS.— The ordinary meeting was held on Thursday evening, R. H. Solly, Esq., in the chair, in consequence of the absence of W. H. Hughes, Esq., M. P., the President for the even- ing, who was confined by the present epidemic, the same cause like- wise producing a very thin attendance. Presents were announced from the Royal College of Physicians, Geological Society, Institutes ofBritish Architects and Civil Engineers, and from the East India Company Parts III. and IV. of Dr. Roxburghe's splendid work on the plants of the coast of Coromandel. The Report of the Committee of Mechanics was read, including a description of a new safety- valve for steam- boilers, differing from those in ordinary use principally in being stuffed with tow, so as to prevent oxidation, which frequently causes the valve to adhere. A great number of the last volume of the Society's Transactions was appropriated to different foreign and domestic societies, and Mr. Solly gave notice of a motion that a quorum for the ordinary meetings should consist of seven instead of nine. The approaching departure of Taglioni from Paris is thus bewailed by a French paper— it is too naive to he translated, and we therefore give it in the original:—" Quant a Mdlle. Taglioni, e'estun mal sans remede ; il n'y a plus moyen de cacher la fatale nouvelle. Mdlle. Taglioni nous abandonne bien positivement, etsans espoir de retour, du moins avant quatre ou cinq ans; l'Europe nous enleve la Syl- phide, Londres, Naples, Vienne, Berlin vont jouir a nos dfpens de ce talent liarmonieux et sans £ gal. Les livres sterling et les ducats ont pese dans la balance beaucoup plus que les Louis ae M. Duponchel. Ce serait un cas de guerre Europeenne, si nous ne vivions pas sous le systeme de la paix a tout prix." THE THEATRES. Co VENT GARDEN,— The Theatres during the past week have pro- duced little in the way of novelty. At Covent Garden, however, a new petit comedy was brought out on Thursday ; it was, as it de- served to be, eminently successful. It is entitled The Country Squire; or, Two Days at the Hall, and is understood to be from the pen of Mr. DANCE, one of the most able and skilful, and consequently among the most popular, of our modern dramatists. The play is of the good old English school, and owes nothing to foreign fashion ; it is sound and chaste both in plan and execution, and is the produce of an accomplished mind, instead of being a manufacture of paste and scissors. It is not often we are called upon to say so much on behalf of a novelty at either of the great metropolitan Theatres. If the Country Squire had less claim upon our favour than he really has, we should welcome him as one of a long absent but not forgotten fa- mily. The audience greeted his re- appearance with a degree of warmth that must contribute* to lessen the influence of French importations— a commodity which should be declared " contra- band," and which has done more to injure the cause of the drama than even the horses and asses of Mr. DCCROW. The plot of the Country Squire is by no means complicated or confused:— Squire Broadwood, a bachelor of seventy, has two nephews, Horace and George Selwood, one of whom he intends to make his heir, and bothare invited to the hall to enable him to make his selection. His first predilection is in favour of George, who, however, prefers his own pursuits as a London merchant. On further acquaintance with Horace, he finds beneath an exterior of coxcombry a fine and gene- rous disposition, which he tries by various tests, and all prove him genuine. FARREN, as the Squire, and Mrs. GLOVER, as his House- keeper, sustained the leading parts with admirable skill and effect. The play was altogether well cast; and the annoucement for its repetition was received with " immense applause." LITERATURE. Since we have increased the size of this paper, and that a sort of review, which we shall only occasionally give, of books and works of art forms a portion of its contents, we have received several im- pertinent letters, addressed to " the Editor," which induces us to believe that some very great misapprehension exists to the manner in which this department of John Bull is likely to be conducted. If publishers, book- makers, booksellers, hackney- writers, or unfor- tunate people looking ont for puffs, take the trouble to write such let- ters to us, we beg to tell them that they only waste their time, pen, ink, and paper. The columns of this journal, from the moment it was es- tablished to the moment in which this line is written, have been and are unassailable by money or quackery. We have no points to carry, no objects to gain. If we review a book, we review it consci- entiously— our mind being totally divested of that sort of underhand, meddling and interchanging jugglery, which proposes a kind of treaty with a dunce, to praise him when he pats out an absurdity, if he, by what is called his influence, will praise somebody else. All trickery we despise. We doubt very much, indeed, whether a newspaper review of literature is worth much— but to make it worth anything, it must be very select, and strictly conscientious; and we at once beg to state to persons who have dared to address letters to the Editor of this Paper, in terms of what they seem to think civil reciprocity, that the surest way to have their follies laughed at, and their faults scourged, is the attempting to be civil after that fashion. We care for no publisher extant: we will neither praise trash from MURRAY— when we can catch it— nor, with equal sincerity, abuse merit from anybody else, when we find it; but it must be un- derstood that the principle which has regulated Bull from its first number, regulates it still. One of the greatest compliments paid to this Paper, was paid to it about twelve months since, when an artist of great eminence in his line, expressed himself in the highest degree gratified by a just tribute of praise which we paid to his exertions and talents, because, as he said, " the praise of John Bull is not to be bought." We now tell the drivellers who have presumed to address us in the language of their dirty trade, " that the praise of John Bull is not to be gained in barter." Among the books we have to notice this week, the most import- ant is Mr. WALTON'S History of the Revolutions in Spain, from 1808 to 1836. Mr. WALTON has previously written largely and ably upon the subject of the ext aordinary revolutions which, owing to the wise and prudent policy of our Foreign Minister, have taken place in Spain and Portugal; but we believe he has never yet completed so elaborate a work as this. With a perfect lfcowledge of his subject, Mr. WALTON exhibits a just impartiality in his views of the ques- tions which he entertains, and we are sure that even those who po- litically differ from the conclusion he occasionally draws from the facts which he so accurately states, will be most ready to bear testi- mony to the accuracy and perspicuity of his style, and the great interest of the volumes in general. Connected with this important snbject- for important to us, through the absurdity of Lord PALMERSTON, it has become- we find before us a small brochure, from the pen of WILLIAM CORNWELL, Esq., M. A., Coll. Jes., Camb., Barrister at Law, Inner Temple, called " GOMEZ AT SAN ROQUE ;" which, containing a series of facts, authenticated as they are by the name of the author of the pamphlet, are in the highest degTee valuable, inasmuch as they completely 38 JOHN BULL. January 22 and entirely overthrow the calumnies and aspersions whieh our Ministerial newspapers and agents have been endeavouring to cast upon the Carlist KING'S G enerals and his army, wherever" they could be found. Mr. CORNWELL has it appears been a resident with his family for about two years, at a village called Campo, three miles from Gibral- tar, and midway between that garrison and San Roque. We shall now let him speak for himself, and we certainly seldom have heard a gentleman speak better. He says:— " I was suddenly alarmed about one o'clock on Sunday morning, November 20th, by a knocking at my doors and windows, and the cry ' the Carlists are coming.' " It was a fine moonlight night, and the road was shortly to be seen crowded with people, flying in the utmost consternation from San Roqti » , to take refuge under the guns of Gibraltar. " From half- past one until three, one continued stream of men, • women, and children, some laden with bedding and other bundles, some with loaded donkies, were passing my door. " Finding, however, that no one had seen the Carlist?, I waited till snnrise before I took my family into the garrison, and I arrived there about half- past seven in the morning. At the Spanish Lines, and at the outer station of the British Guard, the scene was most distressing. I should imagine that not less than from 1,500 to 2,000 persons were there, in a panic of terror. Before twelve o'clock on Sunday, the Governor of Algueziras and General Ordonez, with about 1,200 troops, were at the Spanish lines, under the protection of our guns. ' I he agony of fear in which all these persons, including the soldiers, seemed to be, was really curions. The Carlists, how- ever, were not so near as had been at first apprehended, for they did not enter San Roque till after noon on the following day, at which time Gomez with a part of his division arrived at that place. " I had left my cottage locked up, with all my furniture, a jyirt of my books, private papers, < fcc. in it. The Alcalde had fled to th- 3 lines, and my property was ( like the village itself) abandoned to the mercy of any Band that happened to arrive. 1 however resolved that I would not lose it without an effort for its protection. " I accordingly look- an English servant with me, and drove out through the Spanish lines and the guards of the Queen's troops to Campo. I there learned that the advanced guard of Gomez was about a mile off', and that there might be some risk in approaching it, for the sun had already set. and though it was a bright moonlight night, still danger was apprehended by the Spaniards in going near the outpost at night, especially as the Carlists had been held up as a sort of ruffianly band, to whom every atrocity was familiar, and from whom no courtesy could be expected. The Spanish papers, and the reports industriously circulated in Gibraltar, had indeed impressed me with a notion that my expedition was not altogether without risk, and although J had resolved to goon myself, yet I did not think I was authorised to expose my servant to a peril* in whose object he had no interest. I therefore left him in . my cottage at Campo, and drove on alone. When J arrived to within about fifty paces of the outpost, f was bailed by the usual crv, 4 Quien vive.' f could just perceive three or four horsemen, and 1 answered, not, I own, without some misgivings, ' Arnigo.' After a consultation of half a minate I was told to advance, and I drove £ p to them. A lancer, well mounted and armed, demanded who 1 was, and what! wanted. I said I was an Englishman from Gibraltar, and asked to see the officer of the guard. He came, and I explained to him that T had property et Campo, the village about a mile from his post, and was going to San Roqne to endeavour to procure from their chief an order for its protection. He told me I might go on ; 1 did so, but had not pro- ceeded ton yards when I was again hailed to stop. The officer came up, and, informing me that there were guards outside San Roqne, said I had better take one of his lancers with me, lest I might be de- tained. lie gave directions to one of his guard, and I started again with a soldier riding a- head of me. We reached San Roque about seven o'clock. My guide at last brought me to the house where Gomez bad taken up his abode. He sent up a message, and a soldier very shortly came down, telling me to follow him up stairs. I went up, and found a scene somewhat different from that which the reports in circulation had led me to expect. On a sola at the end of the room sat Gomez, with an officer on each side of him. He was a man of, I suppose, about forty- five years of age, with a handsome, open, and kind countenance, tall, and with a very strongly built frnme. He had no peculiarity of dress, but, like the officers beside him, wore a large flat, foraging cap, not unlike a Scotch bonnet, a large blue cloak on his shoulders, not clasped, a blue coat broadly double breasted, and buttoned up to the throat, and loose crimson trowsers. " At the side of the sofa sat two of he young ladies of the house, perfectly at their ease, and two little children were running about the room, one of them with her niglit- cap on, preparing to go to bed, with, perhaps, more freedom than they would have used iiad Gomez been there on an ordinary visit. The three officers rose and 1 went in, arid I was only aware which was the chief by his coming forward and inquiring very politely my business. 1 told him shortly that the report of bis arrival had driven me from my residence at Campo,— that I had fled in such haste as to leave all the property in my hous • behind me, and that I had ven tured, though a stranger and a foreigner, to intrude on him to beg for an order for its protection. This passed while we were yet standing; — he asked me to be seated, sat down himself, and called an officer, - to whom he gave directions. To this officer 1 then gave my name, jind he left the room. Gomez seemed amtiSed at the general flight from his approach, saying it was needless; he knew, he said, the bad repute he had, that his troops were reported to rob and murder wherever they went. At this moment, a poor woman of San Roque, with an infant in her arms, c.- ime into the room to make a complaint. Gomez would not hear her till she h-. d sat down, and he had to repeat his injunction to her to be sealed more than once before she would sit. She then told him that, six soldiers had been billetted on her, though her house was small, because it was said that her hus- band was in the Queen's militia, & c. Gomez sent one of his people with her to redress her grievance, and she appeared to leave the room with a light heart. The officer now entered with my order, which lie gave to Gomez with a pen; he signed it, gave it me, and told me it would be sufficient to protect my family and my house from his troops. 1 thanked him and took myleave, having been about fifteen or twenty minutes in the room. He had then arrived from bis march about three or four hours, his troops were still entering the town, and the street under his windows was full of his people ; vet there was not the most distant appearance of bustle or even haste in his manner; but, on the contrary, so complete a quietness and composure ill his conversation, and so mild, and if I may so call it, relaxed an ex- pression in his countenance, that when I got down stairs I could scarcely believe that he was the person v. ho had so recently been performing such singular exploits, and who was then pursued 1 y three separate armies— that he was in a posi ion from which his escape seemed all but impossible, while his capture might be con- sidered almost synonymous with his execution." After this interview, Mr. CORNWELL not only strolled about the town, which was filled with Carlist soldiers, and which was perfectly quiet— he subsequently returned to his house at Campo, which he found had been untouched and unmolished— the only circumstance of " ioraging" that had occurred being a message sent by the Commanding Officer to his servant to know if he could spare him a bottle of wine, which was of course sent. In fact, everything that Mr. CORNWELL says disproves, upon the most disinterested authority, everything that has been so shame- fully advanced against the King's troops by the Ministerialists. Mr. CORNWELL, who states that he is neither Carlist nor Christino, that facts are of no party, and that he only writes what he has seen and heard, then proceeds to show us the reverse of this picture. The Carlists under GOMEZ retired; Mr. CORNVVELL'S house was un- touched, and then comes this :— " The Queen's troops were now likely to advance from the lines, and to occupy Campo and San Roqne. As I dreaded the re- action of the valour which had been now for four days working in the bosoms of these gentlemen under the guns of the garrison, I thought it advisable to apply to their General for the same protection which had been given me by Gomez. As soon as the Carlists had fairly left Campo, I drove towards Gibraltar, and at the lines, inquired for General Ordonez. I was, unfortunately, unable to find General Ordonez, but a small old man was pointed out to me as ' the Gene- ral.^ I hesitated when I looked at him; but he was so good as to inform me that he was the Governor of Algueziras; and that General Ordonez was his second in command. I then told him that I was an Englishman ; that I bad property at Campo; that I had procured its protection from the Carlists; and that now they were gone, and the Queen's troops would, as I pre- sumed, occupy Compo, I requested his protection to my house. He said, ' Gone! are they gone ?' I replied, that I had left Compo without a Carlist in it, not half an hour before, and that the band was leaving St. Roqne when I came away. He appeared overjoyed at the news, and right well disposed towards me, and he took me with him to his quarters, to make a note of my name, residence, < frc. As I have given a sketch of Gomez, and of my interview with him, it would be an offence to Don Ramon Salvador, Governor of Algueziras, were I to treat him with less respect. " When we entered his room, I found a short pursy man, in uni- form, at breakfast; him, the Geueral sent off in such'haste, that he trotted out of the apartment with his cup in one hand and his saucer in the other, both half full of coffee, his mouth quite full of bread and butter, and his cocked hat under his arm ; he had, however, left a saucer of brown sugar behind him, from which the Governor of Algueziras instantly began to pick out the lumps, and eat them as he talked; not that his words required sweetening; he was full of thanks for the information I had given him, and of promises of his protection to me and my property, about which, he promised to see- General Ordonez. ( He began to write my name, but he had taken such a quantity of ink in the pen that he made a blot, as large as a silver three- pence on the paper; this he speedily arranged for lifting the sheet of paper to his mouth ; he licked the ink off, thereby qua- lifying the brown sugar, and handed me the paper, on which I put down my name and residence, and the name of the man, poor fellow, with whom 1 had left the keys. He said, he would see General Ordonez about it, and take particular care to give orders about my house. He was a little withered chip of a man, about sixty years old, and of about five feet high, with a singularly mean and insignificant countenance ; he had on a round hat, and was so completely folded up in a long blue camlet cloak, with a red shag collar, chained up to the throat, that I did not even perceive bis sword, until he opened his mantle and made me remark it, saving, ' You seel have no uni- form ; I sent all my things to Gibraltar; I have only this ;' showing me a scarlet silk sash, embroidered with gold, and put on under a ulain coat ; ' only this, which we Generals wear, and my sword. Now I will go and see after Ordonez; and depend on it your house shall be safe.' And so we went out together and parted- " I felt much obliged to Don Salvador, and went to Gibraltar, trusting that my annoyances were now at an end. " In the afternoon, 1 again went to Campo, and on reaching the Spanish outposts, at about five o'clock, which had not then ventured nearer to Campo. althongh the Carlists had left the neighbourhood ahove eight hours, 1 was surprised by a sentry stopping me ; I asked to see the officer, to whom I was conducted, and I inquired why 1 could not pass; I said, that I lived at Campo, and was going to my house. He replied, that I had passed out to the enemy two nights and returned in the mornings, and they did not understand it. I said, ' Sir, all the furniture I have for my family is in Campo, and I have been to Spain to preserve it from destruction. Let me ask you, if you had been in my place, would you not have incurred a little per- Spain; this is an example of fhe gratitude of a Spanish Liberal;— after flying for his life under the guns of a British fortress; after re- ceiving every assistance that a friendly ally could afford, for himself, his countrymen, and his troops ; even before he had ventured to leave his place of refuge,— yes, even while he was yet in hiding within the very walls of a British garrison, the Governor of Algueziras, Ramon Salvador, welcomes the most unfounded and injurious rumours againsta British subject— even tooneto whom he had falselypromised his protection, and from the very territory of Gibraltar he issues an order, which holds trp an Englishman as a spy and a proscribed person, and_ points him out to the vapouring bullies at the Spanish lines, as a fitting object of abuse and insult. And these are the people for whom Britons are draining their purses and spilling their blood! W. CORNWEft." For the length of our extract from this pamphlet, considering the important enlightenment it affords our countrymen, we make no excuse. It is, perhaps, one of the most striking and'authentic dfs closures of the state of degradation to which British subjects are / reduced under tire Liberal Government of our Whig- Radical Minis- ters, that has yet 5een put before the country. ODDS AND ENDS. sonal risk for the same purpose ? ' The officer made me a bow, and only said,' Pass on, Sir.' I thanked him, and drove to Campo. " During the night, a party of the Queen's troops came from the lines to Campo, and marched, at seven o'clock the next morning, for San Roque. The people who had left the village were returning; numbers were on the road back to San Roque, and I concluded that it would be safe to bring my family back in the course of the day. " I returned to Gibraltar, and in the afternoon we net off oil our return. As soon as I reached theSpanish lines I was stopped by the Spanish sentry. The officer informed me that the Governor of Al- gueziras had given a postive order that I was not to pass ; he said my family and servants might go on if I pleased ; the order was a per- sonal one, affecting me only; that he had no discretion in- the matter, but that the Governor of Algueziras was in Gibraltar, and I might see him. We returned, and I sought Don Ramon Salvador, [ found him at a tavern where he lodged, standing at the door, and about to leave the garrison. He did not appear very anxious to see me, but Itook courage to place myself before him. andtoaskhim if he remem- bered me— it'he had not seen me the morning before, and received from me the first information that the Carlisis had left Campo. He admitted this, and said that he felt much obliged, and so forth. As we walked on, I then asked him if he remembered taking me to his quarters, making a note of my name, and promising to protect my property at Campo ; he remembered it perfectly, and said he would take care my house was protected. But, Sir, ] said you have given an order to prevent my passing the lines. Ah, Senor ( he replied), it is for your protection ; you have been out to the Carlists, and you are said to have had private communication with Gomez, and I have heard so much about it, that [ think you are not safe in going into Spain. 1 replied that I wished to take care of myself, and as for my having had private communication with Gomez, I said, taking Gomez's order from my pocket— there, Sir, is all the result of my nisil to Gomez— it speaks for itself, read it. He read it. Well, he replied, this shows you have been in communication with theenemy. Enemy, I rejoined, I am an Englishman, I have nothing to do with Spanish politics, Gomez is neither friend nor enemy of mine. Alter much conversation we reached the outer gates of Gibraltar, where two soldiers were waiting with his horses. 1 then requested to know whether as he passed the lines he would take off the order. He replied, only wait seven or eight days, and I will then take it off'. I said that 1 must wait of course, if he persisted, but quietly I would not wait;— that his order held me up as a proscribed person— as a political spy;— that he knew the effect that his counte- nance to such an unjust aspersion would be likely to have on the security of my person and property, and 1 would immediately repre- sent his treatment of me to the Governor of Gibraltar if the order were not taken off. He shuffled up to his horse, apparently ashamed of himself, and went away. " Early the next morning, Friday the 25th November, I waited on the Governor of Gibraltar with a complaint of the arbitrary and unjust conduct of the Governor of Algueziras, and stated to him the whole of the circumstances. There was no precedent of a similar order, and Sir Alexander Woodford took the matter up with the warmth which so oppressive and tyrannical a proceeding against a British subject so imperatively called for. His remonstrances were however not attended with prompt success, and although this Governor of Algueziras had so immediately before found his only safety and that of hundreds of Spanish subjects, not to mention 1,200 of the Queen's troops, in the kind and liberal conductof Sir Alexander Woodford, yet it was not until after several days of constant repre- sentations and remonstrances that Sir Alexander could obtain a pro- mise that this order should be taken off on a fixed future day. " Meanwhile, I suffered the full effect of so malicious an act of the liberal Governor of Algueziras. As soon as I sent for my furniture, & c., a guard ofCaribineeis was sent from the lines to my house, who impudently asserted, that Gomez's treasure was concealed there, and would not suffer anything to be moved till they had searched for it. Threats to murder me were openly uttered at the lines, and a second search of my property was carried on there, in a manner mo- t injurious to it, and accompanied by every insult and indignity. My desks were opened, and my private papers were examined. One large trunk, containing, among many miscellaneous articles, some bundles of letters, was torcibly broken open ; some packets of private letters were examined, declared to be the correspondence of Gomez, seized and sent away to Algueziras, with so little show of reason that they were returned the next day ; and the Governor of Algueziras, whose order gave rise to this seizure, removed the subaltern officers who ma/ le it. Even the poor fellow with whom I left the keys of my house was made prisoner, conducted to thelines, and thence sent off to prison, in Algueziras, and this with so little appear- ance of any just cause that he was discharged in two days, without even the form of an examination. I had not done anything contrary to the laws of Spain, either military or civil; my going to San Roque was public; I passsd the Spanish lines ana outposts openly. Both General Ordonez and the Governor of Algueziras were aware of my having gone, for, on each morning, atmy return, they communicated with me. I had the usual permit to pass from Gibraltar into Spain; I was the subject of a friendly power, and had been long quietly living in Spain ; yet without any previous investigation— without even the courtesy of informing the Governor of Gibraltar that he was about to refuse to an Englishman the same hospitality which he and his countrymen were at that moment enjoying here— not only to refuse my entrance into Spain, but to drive me out of the country, and away from my dwelling, without, in fact, inquiry or notice, he gives an order which, for its arbitrary severity and caiiseless injustice, is, as far as I know, unprecedented in civilised countries, between friendly nations. " And these are the acts of the free, constitutional Government of The following is, or is not true, as the case may be ; bet, as it i? odd, it answers our ends in this department :— " A singular case was heard one day last week, in Paris^ before- the justice of the peace for the second arrondissement. It appeared that, on New Year's- dav, a Madame Delamott?- expected a'small1 party of relatives and friends to a family feast. The cover was laid, when a ringwas heard at the bell. It was the porter of the diligence, who brought a hamper from Amiens, containing a huge pie, three young partridges, and a fht duck. Such a present could not. have arrived more a proixis, and Madame Delamotte hastened to pay the carriage, and to serve up for her company the game so opportunely bronght. Everything was consumed, and prononnced'delicious, save- the duck, which it was suggested might have been a grandmother. Two days after the porter of the diligence appeared, but, instead of; bringing another hamper, claimed that which had been left before- at Madame Delamotte's, of No. 13, instead of Monsieur Delamotte's, of No. 23. ' It is all swallowed up,' chuckled Madame,. * and I have- nothing to restore. If you left the good cheer hy mistake, so much the worse for yourself.' This reply not being satisfactory, Madame Delarrrotte was summoned before the Tribunal to pay the sum of thirty francs, the value of the hamper. The Counsel for Madame atgued that she was fairly justified in consumin? the large pie, three young partridges, and the venerable duck ; whilst the opposing Ad- vocate contended that, according to article 1,3/ 6, whoever received, by mistake or knowingly, anything which didnot belong to him, was- obliged to make restitution. The Judge, acting upon the point of law, condemned Madame Delamotte to pay the diligence proprietor the sum of eighteen francs, at which he ( the Judge) valued the huge pie, three juvenile partridges, and the antique duck. This- decision gave satisfaction to all concerned." A miller; who attempted to be witty at the expense of a. youth of weak intellect, accosted him with, " John, people say that you are a fool." On- this John replied. " I don't know that I am, Sir"; I know some things, Sir, and some things 1 don't know, Sir." " Well, John, what do you know:" " I know that millers have always ftit hogs, Sir." " Andwhat don't you know ?" " I don't knowwhose corn they eat, Sir." George Colman was an excellent classieal scholar, and. to a- cerfain degree, hyper- criticai as to the common- place absurdities which creep into* the ordinary bills and advertisements of public- amuse- ments. When he came into the management of bis father's theatre, the Ilaymarket, he found it announced, at the bottom of the play- bills, " Doors open at half- past six, and begin at seven." " Begin at seven," said Colman, " what the deuce do the doors begin to do half an hour after they are opened." This nonsense had' struck nobody else. But on the first night of his reign— George the Second,, in those realms— it was found that the bills said, " Doors to be opened at half- past six, and the performances to begin at seven." Colman was one day walking over Westminster- bridge-, with a- yonng friend of his, and the Lord Mayer's barge was proceeding, in all the droll solemnity of its state, up the river—" What's all this ?" said Colman—" The Lord Mayor going swan- hopping," said his- companion. " Swan- liopping," said he, " why, then, I suppose- those two gentlemen in black, who are standing by my Lord, are- writers to the Cygnet." Those who would like to know what Radicalism in the ascendant" would be, had better turn todlie records of our own country— in the Harlean manuscripts in the British Museum, No. 991, will be- found, fol- 7, some extracts from the pocket- book of Richard Symonds* who, after giving a brief account of the splendid inauguration of Oliver Cromwell, second to a coronation only by the absence- of the- crown, he says, fol. 23, " At the mafriage of his daughter to Rich,, in 16 » 7, the* Protector threw about sack posset amongst all the- ladies, to soil their rich clothes, uyhich they took as a favour, and also* wett swete meates ; and dawbed all the stooles where they were t » sit with wet swete meates, and polled off' Rich's perueque, and would have throwne it into the fire ; but did not— yet he sate upon it."— This is a curious peep into the Protector's private life-. The utter absurd hoax which some droll Spanish lady has played off upon poor Lord John Russell exceeds every thing we have heard of since the days of Berners'- street. That the unfortunate man should be made to believe that the holy inquisition was holding its sittings at a merchant's house in Broad- street Buildings is quite beyond credence. It must have been some mischievous Radical trick, to " bring the recreant Whigs into greater disgrace than they are in already. We have just now spoken of the late George Colman— and as we alwavs must speak of him with the highest regard for his merits and the deepest regret for his loss— the following anecdote which we know to be true, we extract from the present month's number of the Neto Monthly Magazine:— " Our recently lost George Colman used to relate a circumstance connected with this subject, curiously illustrative of the manners an< J gaieties of his " youthfiil days." A lady Reade, a celebrated ornitho- logist of that time, had, amongst a multitude of birds, a cock maccaw, which, according to her ladyship's account, and to her infinite sur- prise, one day laid an egg! ' lhe story, told by her ladyship with perfect gravity, and in the full persuasion of its truth, soon got about town. One day it reached the Cocoa- Tree, where, amongst others, Colman and Francis North ( afterwards fourth Earl of Guilford) were dining, at about three o'clock, in May or June; whence, upon obtaining this marvellous information, Colman, North, and a third— I am not sure that it was not the late accomplished and amiahle- Sir George Beaumont— issued forth, and proceeded to the top of St. James's- street, where, having made for themselves trumpets of twisted paper for the purpose, they gave a flourish, and proclaimed aloud the astounding words, " Cock maccaws lay eggs. ' and this was repeated in the front of White's; after which they returned to finish their wine,— their costume then being that which is now con- fined to the Court or full dress parties." We are not aware whether the following lines from the Latin, by Richard Brinsley Sheridan, are generally known— or, at any rate, generally known to be his:— On a Handsome Mother and Son each bereft of an Eye. " Of his right eve yonng Alcon was bereft, His mother, Lionella, of her left; Give her thine eye, sweet boy, so shall ve prove, The Goddess she, and you, the God of Love." We see by the newspapers that the unfortunate young woman who has been, for fourteen or fifteen nights, driven trembling up a rope stretched across Covent Garden Theatre, has tumbled off', and broken some of her limbs. Such an exhibition ought never to have been per- mitted— the cruelty and indecency of it in themselves were detest- able ; but when it is recollected that if the victim of avarice had missed her footing one half minute before, not only she herself would have been killed, but numbers of the audience in the pit must have shared her fate, stricken down by the weight of the heavy pole which her poor fragile hands were doomed to bear, it becomes a question whether if the Lord Chamberlain, who most probably knew nothing about the thing, did not interfere, it was not the duty of the police to have put a slop to an exhibition dangerous and degrading to the unfortunate exhibitor, and disgusting and perilous to the spectators. We have heard that since this accident a similar exhibition at Drury- Iane has been abandoned — we hciff, pever to be introduced before decept people.

The Attorney- General opposed the motion. He did not think his Lordship would be satisfied with the judgment pronounced by the Court of Common Pleas as in his ( the Attorney- General's) opinion the reasons on which that judgment was formed were erroneous. If, however, his Lordship only entertained the slightest doubt in such an important case, the Court ought to direct another issue, to be decided by another Court of Law. The Learned Counsel ad- dressed the Court to a late hour. The arguments are likely to occupy two days. POLICE INT ELL i GEXCET— SAT PRD A T. MARYLEBONE.— RUMPUS OF A TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.— Yesterday Mr. Peter Johnson, a coach- maker, residing at No. 3, Draper's- place, Burton- crescent, was charged, before Mr. Shutt, with disturb- ing the members of a Temperance Society, known by the name of the Tea- totalers, who meet every Friday evening in Chessney's spa- cious ball and lecture- room, 32, foley- street, Portland- place. It appeared that, on the previous evening, there was a strong muster of " Tea- totalers," and while Mr. Tyers, a gentleman from Preston, was expatiating in a very eloquent manner upon the advantage of tea over exciseable liquors, the defendant, who was not a member, entered the room and delivered a long speech in the praise of rum, giving it as his opinion that it was far superior to the Chinese plant, which was onljr fit suction for old maids, and other weak persons; whereas the " fine old Jamaica " was particularly serviceable at this time of the year in curing cold3, and the prevailing epidemic. On the other hand, tea— or, as it might be termed, slop— tended to weaken and debilitate the frame, especially if taken in large doses ; and was wholly unknown to our forefathers, who feasted upon roast beef for breakfast, and washed it down by good home- brewed English ale. He wished to see the good old custom reviv ed, and tea banished the country. This rum. speech startled and annoyed the " sober Tea- totalers and as the defendant, though called to order, continued to New 3% per Cent., Madrid Journals to the 12th inst. have been received, from which we learn that General Navaez, on whom much hope was placed, has resigned the command, in consequence, it is said, of General Alaix having been appointed by Espartero to command in Biscay. The proceedings of the Cortes present little that is calculated to in- terest our readers. On the 11th they took into consideration an addi- tional clause, proposed by the sans culotte Caballero, to the decree, excluding Don Carlos from the throne. In spite of the sanguinary mover's exertions, the Chamber decided with their committee that the penalty awarded to personsguilty of high treason could not be ap- plied to Don Carlos, without the enactment of a special law. A letter from Lugo, says the Espagnol of the 12th inst., states that M. Lopez and M. Martin, the agents of Don Carlos, charged to or- ganise the bands in Gallicia, were taken prisoners on the 23d ult., and shot on tie ensuing morning. Letters from Santander state that a quarrel having arisen between some of the men of Evans's legion and some countrymen, a conflict ensued, which would have proved fatal to tho tranquillity of that city had not Lord John Hay and Colonel Evans arrived in time to put an end to it. Two soldiers were seriously wounded. A reconnoisance was made by the Carlists on the 13th, along the disturb the Meeting by singing the praises of his favourite beverage .

They had the boldness toadvance with some companies of infantry, to within a very short distance of the works. A general attack was looked for, and a battalion of the English legion was hastily marched out. On its approach a few shots were exchanged, but the Carlists having fulfilled their errand retired. It was known in the Carlist camp that General Evans was preparing rope- ladders, in order to take with him on his projected attack upon Fontarabia, Irun, and Hernani; the exact spot within " old Jamaica," a constable was called in, who took him into cus' tody.— The defendant, who said he merely went there far a " lark," was ordered to find bail. ROBBERY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.— Christopher Stanley, Eliz abetli his wife, John Barrett, and Frances Farr, were finally exa- mined on the charge of having dreadfully beaten and robbed Mr Joseph Andrell Reynolds, secretary to Mr. Justice Littledale.— The prosecutor stated, that on the night of the 10th inst., between the the lines of St. Sebastian, where these preparations were being hours of twelve and one he met with the prisoner Fani'with whom he - ! ~ . ] rnt. « T<\ kn/^ M in^ li/ tn frtrj 41-.. 1 Porlloto if TO thAll Cf I ' , . jl . i 1. . . 1 1 , 1 • XT 11 was so smitten that he accompanied her to a house in Hadlow- sireet Burton- crescent. She tbere introduced him to the prisoner Davis and another young man, representing them to be her brothers, and he sat and conversed with them in a very pleasant way for about three hours. At the end of that time the woman Stanley entered the parlour, and abused Farr for keeping her up so late. Witness asked Farr if Stannard was the landlady, and being told that she was not, he remarked " Then why should we submit to be blackguarded by such a broad faced Scotch hussey as that;" on which she ( Stanley), instantly darted at him, tore his shirt from liis back, and beat him so dreadfully about his head and other parts, that he expected it would be his last. After she had been attacking him for nearly five husband made his appearance, and witness then making sure that he should be murdered, gathered up his remaining strength, and fought his way past them ; and just as was getting out of the street door, he distinctly saw Barrett rob him of his watch,, while another person, who he could not tell, was dragging at his silver guard chain, which eventually snapped in two places and he was deprived of it. There was a valuable pin in his shirt front when Stanley commenced illtreating him, and that was missing. Farr took no part in the affray, but his watch and chain were discovered under her bed. Mr. Rogers asked Farr if she wished to say anything. She said she was unable to prevent her fellow prisoners from " illusing the Prosecutor, did not knowwhoputthe stolen property in her bed room, ihe was then called from the bar and admitted as a witness. She fully corroborated the prosecutor. Inspector Campbell and thre officers of the E division stated that the prosecutor's cries of " Po- lice !" attracted them to Hadlow- street, and they found Mr. Rey- nolds in a woeful condition, his clothes being nearly torn to shreds, and his person much bruised and lacerated. The prisoners were apprehended whilst endeavouring to escape over some buildings at the back of their premises. Witness discovered the watch and chain from beneath Farr's bed. Mr. Reynolds said the officers in capturing the prisoners behaved in the most praiseworthy and determined - The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate. manner.- carried forward, having been indicated to the Carlists, it is thought their reconnoisance was pushed on, if possible, by a sudden attack, to get possession of them, and to destroy the materials and ladders already made. According to several reports, Gomez has been deprived of his command. THE STRASBURGH AFFAIR.— The 11th day'sproceedings of Assizes of the Lower Rhine contains the speeches of counsel for the pro- secution and defence.

The Mayor and requisitionists were urged to provide a Chairman, and proceed with the business of the day. At length, afterwaiting more than half an hour beyond theappointed time of meeting, Mr. Gutch, a gentleman well known for many emi- nent services to his countrymen, moved that Major Bund, an able veteran Conservative, should take the chair. Major Bund ac- quiesced ; and, after a conversation of some length, which we cannot call a debate, so cordially united were all the speakers, two excellent Conservative resolutions were unanimously agreed to, as also a reso- lution condemning the conduct of the Mayor. This is turning the tables with a vengeance. On Tuesday the Conservatives of the southern division of Notting- hamshire gave a public dinner to their representative, the Right Hon. the Earl of Lincoln, in the Town- hall of Newark. Nearly 400 per- sons sat down to dinner, among whom were— Sir Robert Howe Bromley, Bart, in the chair ; Sir T. W. White; the Rev. Mr. Edge ; Lord Wm. Clinton; Lord Edward Clinton; Mr. L. Gladstone, M. P.; Colonel Rolleston, & c. < fcc. The principal speaker was the Ear! of Lincoln, who delivered a very eloquent address, and realized the high expectations which have been formed of him. This young nobleman is destined to occupy a foremost station in public life, and to sustain the reputation long enjoyed by his noble father, the Duke of Newcastle. The Conservatives of Carlow hare given a splendid entertainment to Messrs. Braen aad Kavenagh. Upwards of two hundred and sixty fentlemen from all the bounds of the county assembled to pay a tri- ute of respect to their representatives, who have so nobly done their duty as Conservatives, undismayed by the bloody threats of priest or demagogue. The Right Hou. Lord Downes presided, and nothing could exceed the right feeling of enthusiasm which prevailed. The Mayor of Hull has refused to call a public meeting upon the subject of Church- rates. The much- vannted and long- expected entertainment was given to Lord Morpeth, Sir G. Strickland, John Gully, Esq., M. P., Edward Baines, Esq., M. P., and other Members for the West Riding of Yorkshire, at the Leeds polling district, in the first floor of a new woollen- mill, a little outside Leeds, on Wednesday last. There were about 1,000 persons present. Alderman Tottie ( in the absence of the Mayor of Leeds from indisposition) filled the chair. In the immediate vicinity of the chair, right and left, were Lord Mor peth, Sir George Strickland, John Gully, Esq., M. P., Edw. Baines, Esq., M. P., Daniel Gaskell, Esq., M. P., John Childers, Esq., M. P., E. C. Lester, Esq., M. P., John Parker, Esq., M. P., Sir F. L. Wood, Bart., Hon. Sir E. M. Vavasour, Bart., Hon. and Rev. Wm. Herbert, Hon. Charles Howard. The appointment of Mr. Spring Rice's son to the important office of High Sheriff of Limerick county must surprise every one who is not acquainted with its political working. He is a mere stripling, just out of his teens, and in receipt of a small salary, as private secretary to his father.— True Sun. A Radical dinner took place at Liverpool on Thursday, at which the hosts were a body of persons calling themselves the Tradesmen s' Reform Association, and the guest, Wm. Ewart, Esq.. M. P., who was accompanied by James Brotherton, Esq., M. P., Rigby Wason, Esq., M. P., Thos. Gisborne, Esq. M. P., Thos. Thornley, Esq., M. P., Chas. Hindley, Esq., M. P.— in all five M. P.' s, such as they are. Mr. O'Connell is at Kilkenney; where he has harangued" the boys" about the Poor Laws and the Factory Children; we have his speech in the hands of the English Radicals. The farce ended with a resolution to the effect—" That his Parliamentary conduct was satisfactory to all his constituents." The death of Sir W. M'Mahon has made a stir in the Dublin " four courts." It is said that Baron O'Lobglen is to be his suc- cessor ; that Mr. Richards is to be the new Baron ; Mr. Wolfe, Attorney- General, and a Mr. Brady, Solicitor- General. — Mr O'Connell announced to the General Association, on Thursday, that Baron O'Loghlen had been appointed Master of the Rolls. Who is so likely to be well- informed of the fact as Mr. O'Connell ? The Learned Qentleman added, that his Honourable friend would soon make an excellent Chancellor. THE INFLUENZA.— The very great prevalence ofthis epidemic has for the la st three weeks been the occasion of a vast deal of distress in and about the metropolis ; and its ravages have been as destructive, and not less deplorable, than a visitation of cholera. A great mortality prevails in most of the London hospitals, and in the Bartholomew alone upwards of forty deaths occurred during the last eight days. Nor has it been confined to persons in the humble walks of life, for the highest circles have experienced its effects, and the judges on the bench have been obliged to forego the duties of their avocations in common with the lowest administrators of the law, who " walk their weary rounds" and perform the office of " guardians of the night." There has been a remarkable fatality among persons of rank and title within the last few weeks. We have had in that time to record the deaths of the Duke of Montrose, the Dowager Marchioness of Exeter ( who was the widow of anotherScotch Duke, Hamilton), the Farl of Rosslyn, the Earl of Arran, Viscount Weymouth, Baron Audley, Lady Farnborough, the Dowager Lady Ventry, the Dowager Lady Henniker, the Hon. Sir F. C. Ponsonby, Sir M. S. Stewart, Bart., Sir Wm. MacMahon, Bart., and we may add Mr. Ramsden, eldest son of Sir John Ramsden, Bart. LUDICROUS OCCURRENCE DURING THE LATE FOG.— On Friday after noon, about two o'clock, while his Majesty's lieges were groping their way along the footpaths during the period of darkness being visible, the following ludicrous scene was enacted in Woodstock- street, Marylebone. It appears that at the time named, a dapper little tailor, one Benjamin Peters, was reeling from intoxication down the street named, when he chanced to cast his eyes upward, and to his great consternation, beheld what he imagined to be a body of flame bursting forth from the roof of one of the houses ; with voice stentorian he bawled out fire, and in less than five minutes three en- gines arrived, together with an immense crowd of persons, including superintendent Lincoln and a body of the D division of police; the water was then let out from the plug- hole, and one of the engines being filled, a copious stream was thrown tip aloft, and the fire, in the opinion of many persons present, was likely to prove of a serious nature. The affair, however, turned out to be one of a truly comic description, the " awful" conflagration having been caused by the the operation of a fat, bald- headed, journeyman plumber, who, it was subsequently ascertained, was employed to repair the roof, and while concealed from view in one of the gutters, was blowing up a fire in a portable stove, in order to melt some lead; the poor fellow was completely drenched with the plentiful supply of the liquid ele- ment, with which he was in so unceremonious a manner treatet}, and, making his way down below, vented his curses lout} and deep upon his tormentors, who with engines quickly made their eifit amidst the jeers and laughter of the mob. T. he Court of Exchequer ' on Friday, from the intensity of the cold and the illness of several members of the bar, was almost entirely deserted, and presented a most cheerless and miserable appearauce. In the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on Friday, the Hon. William Paget, commonly called Lord William Paget, petitioned the Court for h is discharge. The aggregate amount of debts set ft rth in the schedule of his Lordship is 5,1961. 12s. 9d.; ofthis amount he has received no consideration for 1,0721. 14s. and debts to the amount of 4201. have been twice entered. The actual amount of debts is there- fore 3,7031.18s. 9d. The credits amount to 3701., being a claim on the Spanish Government for services as a Colonel in the British Legion, and for the loss of three horses. The Court ordered the case to be adjourned for the insertion in the schedule of a bond debt due to Sir F. Ommanney, and for a new general balance- sheet | to be filed. THE MURDER AT DEN VER,— The examination of the three men ap- prehended on suspicion of the murder at Denver has taken place before a very full bench of Magistrates, atDownham. A great con- course of people constantly surrounded the office until the pri- soners were conveyed to Swaffham Bridewell in the evening. Se- veral persons recognised the men, having seen them often in this town. The only evidence then gone into was that necessary to establish the identity of the men with the three persons seen at Hilgay on the night previous to the murder, and who were met about a mile from the house of the deceased about three o'clock on the morning following. This was fully and satisfactorily proved. There was no property found upon them that could be proved as having belonged to the deceased, but theyjound a wedge of melted silver, about two and a half inches long, and upon a white slop there were stains, as if of blood having been imperfectly washed out, also two strong spear- pointed pocket- knives, one of which was a buck- horn handled one, in the crevices of which was a sub- stance much resembling clotted blood. The Edgvvare murder took place about the time these men are supposed to have left London. Would it not be desirable to trace them upwards ? which could be done by the Downham and Lynn constables, as they are aware of their haunts. They have evidently been at work near London, and either left there in company, with the sole view of this mur- der, or because they dared not stay any longer. The brother of Hannah Manfield, to whom she has left all her property ( about 2001. or 2501.), has not been heard of; he is supposed to be at St. Se- bastian, but that is at present uncertain, as he has unfortunately led rather an unsettled lite, and it has been reported that he has been seen elsewhere within the last few mouths. HjjJOME of the Policemen ( as was admitted by their Inspector) im- bibed and propagated a misconception, injurious to a highly respectable In- dividual, who informed Colonel Rowan of it, and he opposed to the falsehood a complete refutation ; but it must be redressed, for the sake of others as well as the Individual alluded to ( who is happily so constituted as to sustain it well in- variably ; but it must be contradicted speedily and effectually, and that too under the direction and responsibility of the Comptroller, otherwise stronger measures will be resorted to.— Col. RovVan consented to the discharge of a man in this c- a « e in 1834, but the communication of it was intercepted, and not known tillwithina few months, since which time he and another man have been discharged. By petseverance 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 ho « t, even in an individual, when they tight against truth and justice, and the consequent protection of Heaven. This statement is upon oath, and can- not in any one point be disproved ; it is actionable ; and is advertised in order to prevent the public from implicating themselves in it.— N. B. A party ( the names are too numerous for insertion), who had implicated themselves in it two months before it was known to the advertiser, retract the same absolutely and entirely and apologise for it, both on their own behalf and on that of the Police.
