The French Papers of Wednesday oontain advices from Madrid to Hie 31st ult., from which we extract the following particulars:— M- Burgos has been appointed to act temporarily as Minister of the finances, M. Martinez having resigned; and M". Justo Banqueri, a Member of the Cortes of 1820, has been created Supermtendant- Ceneral of the same department. Another decree appoints M. Julian Aquilino Peres, Director- General of the Treasury, instead of M. G. Remisa, who has also resigned. The Pope is stated to have issued a circular letter to the Spanish Bishops in favour of Don Carlos; M. N. Requeno, who was Secretary for the Police in 1825, io have been ap- pointed Snb- Delegado of Cadiz; the milliner Teresft who had consi- derable influence with the Queen, to have been arrested and conveyed to the French frontier; General Sarrsfield, whose mind is considered unsound, to have been recalled from Navarre; the Carlist Chiefs Villalobos, Merino, and Guerillas to have entered Portugal on the 23d nit., and General Maroto to have escaped from Grenada in order to join Don Carlos, who is said to have been, on the 14th ult., at Villareal, whence he intended removing to Lamego. The Constitu- tionel's M adrid Correspondent writes, that for the last four months the intercourse with Portugal has been completely interrupted. Accounts from the capital and Pyrenees agree as to the interception of the direct road by Vittoria. ' One of M. Raynenal's couriers has been shot dead at" the Descarga passage. Another obstinate conflict is said to have occurred between Zavala and the Queen's Generals, in • which the former lost eight hundred men ; but, on the other hand, it is stated that a vanguard of cavalry, with a Colonel and two Cap- tains, have joined the insurgents at Villalba, and that bands are overrunning almost every district of Spain. The condition of the Spanish Treasury is represented to be wretched in the extreme. . The debate in ' the Chamber of Deputies upon the Address was continued on Tuesday, when Baron Bignon, a Member of the Com- Shittee entrusted with drawing up the said document, delivered a speech upon Foreign Affairs, which, according to the Temps and other liberal prints, must have a long retentissement en Europe. He inveighed against Russia's treatment of Poland, declared that Eng- land and France protested against it, and that whenever that unfor- tunate country found the opportunity of shaking off its galling yoke, it would be the triumph of right over the sword, which all nations • would exult in; he accused Russia of seeking to possess herself of Constantinople, Austria of striving to extend and consolidate her ascendency in Italy, and aiming, with Prussia, through the Congress now assembling at Vienna, at increasing their joint influence over the secondary States of Germany, by restraining their Constitutional liberties. Lastly, he urged the" necessity of opposing such designs bv those passages of the Address which state that France will not submit to any change calculated to disturb the present European equilibrium. Of this speech, which met with almost unanimous ap- plause, the Duke de Broglie expressed his unqualified approbation. He congratulated M. Bignon on the opinions he had delivered, as feeing those entertained by the Government, and according to which they would endeavour to" act, and stated that Ministers subscribed to every paragraph of the Address, and every principle laid down in it. The debate was then adjourned to Wednesday, when M. de Broglie promised any information that might be required respecting the foreign relations of France. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

To THE LADIES.— M'PKAXL-' S GOLD still contnues to receive tlie patronage of fashionable society. $ ts close resemblance to mid itself, its extreme economy, iiiid the successful manner in which it can be woAed up in every description of Jewellery, make it a desirable object to all those who wish to follow the changes of fashion withouft incurringthe he< ivy expense of the genuine metal. We are desired to state that M'Phail, the inventor, of 1!, Regent- street, opposite Howell and James's, has . commenced the season with a stock of elegancies of the newest fashion and the best workmanship, which cannot fail toexc. it ® universal attention. C.

WK cannot say w? are vexed with the Morning Post for having forestalled" us in our intention of exhibiting the princi- ples and politics of the Times newspaper, expressed and advo- cated in 182S, contrasted with its opinions and dicta in 1833; but so it- is, and we now gladly avail ourselves of the fruits of its research, by borrowing part of one of its many admirable articles:— " England," says the Times, " committed the baseness of leaving the Turkish Empire to the tender mercies of NICHOLAS, the Duke of WELLINGTON being fairly over- reached.*' We assert deliberately that the Times itself, from January, 1828, when the Duke of WELLINGTON returned to office, to June, 1828, when the Russian troops were known to have passed the Pruth, instead of expressing distrust of the ambition of Russia, professed devout confidence in her moderation— instead of demonstrating the importance of the independence of Turkey, exhibited the utmost indifference at the near prospect of her ruin— instead of exhorting the Duke of WELLINGTON to take up anus in support of the GRAND SEIGNIOR, laboured to incite him to aid by militan" co- operation the efforts of the EMPEROR. If we prove the truth of this assertion the Times will probably think it prudent to preserve upon the matter in question its present ladauble silence. On the 29tli of March, 182S, the Times announces the publication by Russia of her Declaration, and proceeds to comment upon it in these terms:— " Russia declares that while she will right her own grievances, she will prosecute with us, her allies, the negociations which the Treaty of London requires ; that is, she will respect— nay, she will do more— she will procure the independence of the Greeks, not only against Turkey, but against herself and every other Power. While Russia does this, we, the other allies ( France and England), may act with honour detachedly from her ; but we shall have no cause to complain of her conduct, or to ajjpreheiul her aggrandizement." On the 5th of April, 1828, the Times, after an indignant invective against the abduction of some Greek captives by IBRAHIM PACHA, urges, in explicit terms, an immediate recourse to hostilities for the infliction of vengeance on the perfidious barbarian:— " If England threatened IBRAHIM, she is bound to punish him ; if she tendered protection to Greece, she is bound to repair the injuries which she failed to avert." On the 8th of April, 1828, the Times notices the offer of an armi- stice for three months by the GRAND SEIGNIOR to the Greeks and declares that if the Allies shall be, or appear to be satisfied with so contemptible a concession. " The inference with all reasonable men must be that the Treaty of London is not any longer to be executed, and that the whole policy of the British Government under Mr. CANNING has been abandoned by the WELLINGTON Administration." On the 9th of April 1828, the Times proclaims that the negocia- tions for the joint execution of the Treaty of the 6th of July having failed, the three Powers are hi consequence at liberty to pursue se- parately all measures which each may think best calculated to meet, " or perhaps turn to account," the innumerable difficulties attending the question. And it proceeds to state, ill language sufficiently dis- tinct, the measures which under these circumstances it behoves this country to pursue:— " We are quite sure that England will be the slowest in resorting to desperate measures, as she will be the last to flinch from the con- test. She will use, as we know she is using, all honourable means to arrange a quarrel which is pregnant with consequences far beyond the mere ' ignorant present.' But if, after a reasonable time spent for such a laudable object, her efforts should fail, she knows how to assume the dignity of her national character." On the 17th of April, 1828, the Times thus modestly asserts tlie uniform correctness of its statements, and the invariable consistency of its opinions upon the affairs of Eastern Europe :— " The public will do us the favour to observe, that, amidst the varying reports on the affairs of Eastern Europe, we have strictly persevered in recommending the same line of policy, and have pub- lished statements, now acknowledged to be correct, evincing the adoption of that policy. We have said that England has no cause of jealousy against France, and Europe nothing to fear from Russia." On the 23d of April, 1828, the Times alludes to a report published by a German Paper, that on the crossing of the Pruth or the Danube by Russian troops, Austria, France, and England will publish a de- claration of neutrality; and proceeds to prove that so long as the stipulations of the Treaty of London remain unfulfilled we must necessarily be friendly to Russia, and unfriendly to Turkey. " If the three Powers cannot bring the SULTAN to see his own inte- rests in offering such tenns to Russia as may induce her to suspend her hostile operations, they must be the more forivard to admit the right of the latter to settle separately her own quarrel. _ They are not bound, indeed, to assist Russia in the separate vindication of her own honour, or in demanding reparation for her separate wrongs, merely because two of them, France and England, composed part of an alli- ance formed by a Treaty to which her antagonist refused to accede. The relations of these two to the Porte, are now, to be sure, different; but as they profess to adhere separately to the policy which dictated the Treaty of London, they cannot, of course, be considered as neutrals in the ensuing contest till the object of that treaty is, accomplished. In other words, they cannot be equally friendly to the Porte, from which they have withdrawn their Ambassadors, and with which they have broken off all diplomatic intercourse ; and with Russia, with which they still continue the most amicable relations." On the 2d of May, 1828, the Times thus speaks of a rumoured pre- paration of an English armament for the coast of Turkey :— " The Turks have exhibited such a brutal obstinacy" in resisting the really kind and long- sighted counsels of those of the Allied Powers, whose chief solicitude was to prevent the total destruction of the Ottoman empire, that it is not at all surprising if England and France should have at last resolved to despatch to the coast of Turkey an armament so irresistible, provided with instractions so compre- hensive and so peremptory for a forcible execution of the Treaty of July 6, that nothing but utter madness can induce the GRAND SEIGNIOR to stand out for another moment." On the 5th of May, 1828, the Times thus avows its confidence in the faith of Russia, and its mdignaton at the pertinacity of Turkey:— " We have always asserted and proved the rectitude of our opinion, that there was nothing to apprehend from Russia. Had that Power been such as has been represented, her troops would have long ago been at Constantinople, both by the Bospliorus and by the route of the Principalities. The absurd obstinacy of Turkey has afforded sufficient pretexts." On the 12th of May, 1828, the Times makes known the commence- ment of hostilities between Russia and Turkey, and speaks of the EMPEROR as " Forced by imperious circumstances into a war, to which he will put an end as soon as the honour of his country and the dignity of his Crown are satisfied." We might make further citations in proof of the assertion with which we began. But we will stop here. Some of our readers will think wehavy already wasted too much time and toil upon the matter. For ourselves we consider no time or toil ill applied which is devoted to the exposure of the unprecedented mendacity of a Journal whose means to do mischief some honourable men even now do not blush to extend. The Duke of WELLINGTON, fettered as he was by the conditions of Mr. CANNING'S Treaty, laboured to preserve the independence of Turkey. Had he readily sacrificed it, was it for the Times to impute to his counsels the " baseness" of the surrender ? The Duke of WELLINGTON, harassed as he was by the declamations of WhigLords about Greece and freedom, saw clearly the perils • with which the admission of Russian interference was necessarily attended. Had he been utterly blind to them, was it for the Times to reproach him for being " fairly overreached?" Let those who have fairly examined our citations! from the Times answer these two questions,. CECIL HYDE.—" This novel is anew " Pelham;" it is chiefly de- scriptive of a season f n London, where a wilderness of faces and a variety of scenes comp. ose the principal charm. The story is not the object of the writer; he , tims at a vivid portraiture of character, a rapid analysis of the sm- faceof fashionable life, and abrilliant display ofhis acquaintance vt £ th modes and forms ; yet tins is done with ease and • without ostentation ; he never betrays the vulgar desire to appear distingue, but is so, as it w ere, unconsciously. There is more real life in this novel tha » in " pethum"— it is more . actual and less fop- pish, and paints with troth am 1 J » . alively ske. tchy spirit, the panorama of fashionable society."— Mate. WE consider it right to lay before our readers the following reply ofhis Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY to the Memorial ofthe Church Missionary Society, on the subject of the West India Mission:— " Lambeth, Dec. 23. " Gentlemen.— I have read with the greatest attention the Memo- rial which you have addressed to me by the direction of the Church Missionary Society, and I entirely agree in the remarks of the Com- mittee, respecting the duty of imparting the blessings of Christianity to the emancipated population of the West Indies, according to the principles and institutions of our Established Church. That the Bishops of Jamaica and Barbadoes are sincerely and earnestly desirous of facilitating and promoting this important object, I have no doubt; and I regret that a formal and regular statement of the views and intentions of the society has not been submitted to their Lord- ships, as it appears from the Memorial that the difficulties which the society apprehends are inferred from proceedings in respect to a single case in each of of the Dioceses, that neither of the Bishops has been informed ofthe society's intention of commencing operations on an extensive scale in the West Indies, or has received any expla- nation of the principles on which its missions are to be conducted. The omission, however, is easily reparable; and I strongly advise the society to transmit to the Bishops of both Dioceses a memorial containing— " I. A general statement setting forth the views ofthe society, the design of applying a part of its funds to the establishment and support of missions in the West Indies, the steps which have been taken to assure a supply of Clergymen properly qualified for the office of missionary, and such other particulars as may satisfy their Lordships that the society has the means of extending its labours with effect to this wide field of usefulness. " 2. An enumeration of the obstacles to the success of the society's plans, either arising out of the general principles of our ecclesiastical discipline, or created by the rules which the Bishops have laid down for the regulation of their own conduct in the administration of their respective Dioceses; and— " 3. The suggestion of measures by which these obstacles may be removed, vyithout infringing the principles of ecclesiastical discipline, and by which the missionaries may be placed under the authority and protection of the Diocesans, and be assured of the cordial assist- ance of their Lordships^ and the aid of their power and influence in the prosecution of its pious designs. " If a memorial to this effect, such as the Bishop of LONDON and I could approve, were placed in my hands, I should have great satis- faction m recommending it to to the consideration of the Bishops of Jamaica and Barbadoes, and requesting them to state their remarks in detail on the several propositions. " In regard to the measures proposed in the Memorial now before me, I observe that they partly relate to regulations of detail, and partly to the general principle of ecclesiastical government recognized by our Church. On the former I could not decide without reference to the Bishops of the West India Dioceses, who have great advantages over me from their local experience and knowledge. On some parts, ofthe latter I give my opinion with reluctance, but I think the Com- mittee must perceive that if the Bishop is deprived of all power in regard to the location of missionaries ( a point on which he ought to have a negative) and the limitation of the exercise of their ministry, of all controul over the catechists, and of the right of revoking licenses granted to missionaries, except on conviction for some offence which by law renders a Clergyman liable to be silenced, his authority as ordinary will be little more than nominal, and very nearly useless. " Having thus frankly spoken my sentiments, I freely offer my services in endeavouring to bring such an arrangement as may enable the society to attain its object in conformity to the principles of the Church, and with the countenance and co- operation of the local ecclesiastical authorities. " Attentive observation of facts during the course of many years has had the effect of convincing me of the benefits derived to Colonial Churches from being placed under the immediate superintendence of Bishops. 1 speak to this point with the g. eater assurance in regard to the W est Indies, having the means of comparing the spiritual condition of those colonies before the introduction of a local episcopacy with their present state. And I am fully persuaded that, at this particular juncture, when so much may be reasonably expected from united and orderly exertion, the advantages of an authority on the spot, directing the operations of the subordinate ministers, will be greatly diminished, if any portion of the Clergy employed in the colonies " is wholly or partially withdrawn from the jurisdiction of the Bishops. " It gives me pleasure to add, that the Bishop of LONDON concurs in the sentiments expressed in this letter, and particularly in the earnest desire to give every facility consistent with the principles of ecclesiastical discipline, to the operations of the society.— I have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedient servant, ( Signed) " W. CANTUAR. " To the Secretaries of the Church Missionary Society." MURDER.— A dreadful murder has been committed at North Nibley, near Gloucester, under the following circumstances:— A man, a carpenter by trade, was in the habit of working at a distance from home; he fancied that his wife acted improperly during his absence, and he therefore became jealous. On his return home, he found that a quantity of hay and other property had been either destroyed or carried away ; he accused his wife of the theft, where- upon words ensued, and words produced blows ; at length the_ woman seized a knife and nearly severed her husband's head trom his body!'. Their child, who was a witness of the scene, ran out ofthe house and grve an alarm, but was quickly followed and brought back by the mother, who whipped it for its interference. The fiendish wretch then washed herself, changed her clothes, and put a razor in the hand of her deceased husband, and quickly reported to the neigh- bourhood that her husband had destroyed himself. A Coroner's Jury was in due time summoned.; after investigating the circum- stances, a verdict of " Wilful murder" was given against the woman, who has, on the Coroner's warrant, been committed to take her trial for the offence at the next Assizes. It may be in the recollection of our readers, that a Charlotte Long was lately executed at Gloucester in pursuance of her sentence, for the crime of rick- burning. The: woman who has now been committed to answer the charge of mur- dering her husband, is one of the three who were accused with Charlotte Long. AFRAY BETWEEN GAMEKEEPERS AND POACHERS.— A most serious affray occurred about twelve o'clock on Monday night week, at a wood in I- Iarsfield parish, between two of the keepers of the Earl De- la- Warr, and a gang of poachers. The keepers being on the look out, perceived two dogs hunting, which they immediately shot; on which two ofthe poachers made their appearance,, and a dread- ful scuffle ensued. Luxford and Lampherd ( the keepers) were gaining an advantage; when two more of the gang came forth and assisted their companions, beating the keepers with great fury, and wounding them severely. Tlie poachers left them apparently dead, and made their escape; taking with them the dead dogs. Two men were apprehended, but have since been discharged. The keepers are seriously injured. INCENDIARISM.— A most destructive fire broke out at about ten minutes before three o'clock on Sunday morning last, at Eastry Court, which totally consumed two large barns and nine stacks, the property of WM. BKIDGER, Esq. A quantity of brimstone was dis- covered, burning at the corner of one barn, where it was set on fire, but from the direction of the wind, it must also have been set on fire in another place, as the whole was in a blaze within 20 minutes from the time of its first appearance. Every possible effort is making to- bring the offenders to justice, which we trust will be attended with success. We understand the property is fully insured. CANADIAN TRIBUTE TO CAPTAIN Ross.— Most gratifying will it be to the lovers of science, and to the province in general, that a notice has been given bv an Hon. Member of our Assembly to bring in a Bill authorising his Excellency Sir John Colborne to convey the thanks of our Legislature to Captain Ross, of the Royal Navy, ac- companied by a gift of 1,0001. Considering the extraordinary merit it is intended to reward, and the singularly flourishing condition of our affairs, we should have been better pleased had the sum moved for been rather larger, as better betokening our deep sense of the ser- vices of Captain Ross, and more symbolical of our prodigiously in- creased wealth.— Ipper Canada Patriot. January 12. JOHN BULL. i i THE NIGER EXPEDITION. Richard Lander was at Atta on the 21st of July; and we rejoice to say, in vigorous health. He was making preparations to ascend the river in theAlburka, accompanied by Lieutenant Allen and a medical man. His voyage from the coast in a canoe ( as mentioned in our preceeding notice of the expedition) occupied him thirty- two days. In a letter to his brother of the date stated, with a delightful extract from which we are favoured, he says—- " You know that when we were here together, Abucco, chief of Damuggoo, had been at variance for several years with his brother, the ruler of Atta. On arriving at the former place from the coast, I was sorry to find the brothers, with their respective subjects, still engaged in that petty but obstinate and ferocious warfare which had distinguished the quarrel at its commencement. Determined, if pos- sible, to effect a reconciliation between them, I prevailed on our old friend Abucco to accompany me to Atta, promising to introduce him to his brother, and pledging my life for his safety. The meeting took place on the 22d of November, and a highly interesting one it was, I assure you. Our party, preceded by Jowdie and a few drummers, were introduced into a large square enclosure. The chief, seated on a _ kind of # throne, was sur- rounded by all his mallams, and a multitude of his attendants. His wives were seated under a verandah, from which were suspended several handsome Turkey carpets, which served them for a screen. Abucco instinctively drew back as he approached the throne, but, taking him by the hand, I led or rather pulled him towards his bro- ther. At this moment his confidence seemed to have forsaken him entirely; his head hung down on his breast, and I could feel him tremble violently. Whilst I was displaying my presents to the Chief of Atta, I perceived him several times bestow a hasty and displeased look on nis brother, who had disengaged himself from my hand, and was sitting on the ground. Though seven years had elapsed since their last meeting neither of the rulers uttered a word. The curiosity of the_ Chief oi Atta having in some measure been gratified, I immediately introduced his brother to his notice, by paying him a high compliment, which Abucco had certainly deserved. I tnen ex- pressed the regret I felt op. witnessing the bad effects of the misun- derstanding which had existed between them for so _ many years ; in- sisted on the necessity of brothers living together, in harmony ; and said, I was determined not to quit the spot until I had established a perfect reconciliation between them. Ihe Chief was extremely dis- concerted^ but he made no reply. I then desired Abucco to rise, and leading him to his brother, I took the right hand of each, and pressing both hands together, made them shake hands heartily, observing, " You are now friends, and may God keep you so." The brothers were deeply affected, and neither of them could utter a syllable for several seconds afterwards. Every countenance beamed with delight at the happy termination of the interview, and the multi- tude gave vent to their feelings in a loud, long, and general shout. For my part, I need not say, I cannot tell the heartfelt gratification I felt at that moment. But this is not the most important good that I have been the humble means of effecting at this place. From time immemorial it has been a custom with the rulers of Atta, to sacrifice human beings on rejoicing days, and on all public occasions. At the interview which I have just described to you, two poor creatures were brought before us to be slain, in order that their blood might be sprinkled about the yard, I shuddered at the proposal, and begged with earnestness^ that nothing of the kind might be done. I assured the chief, he would one day have to give an account to God of every life he might wantonly destroy; and also made him fully sensible that though after death his body- would moulder into dust, his soul would live for ever, and that it would be happy or miserable in proportion to the good or bad actions he had performed, or might yet perform in this world. The chief was evidently much affected at my words, and desired his followers to un- bind the intended victims, and remove them from the yard. He then made a solemn promise to put an end to the custom of sacrificing human beings. As soon as this declaration was made known to the mallams, and the crowd of attendants in the yard, they all held up their hands in token of approbation, and shouted for joy. It is now seven or eight months since this promise was made, and I am happy te say it has been religiously kept.'-'— Literary Gazette. VALUABLE NEW YEAR'S GIFT.

My hair for several years was falling off, and was daily becoming thinner; having tried various articles without any effect, except to accelerate the loss, 1 at length gave your Balm a trial, and to my great astonishment, I found its virtues of such it nature, that the second application completely stopped the falling off; and by using a few large bottles, it has produced me as* fine a head of hair as ever I had in. my life.— I am, yours, & c. M. A. COOKE. To Messrs. C. and A. Oldridge, 1, Wellington- street, Strand, London.

ILIOUS AFFECTIONS, HEAD- ACHE, & c.— JAMES'S ANALEPTIC PILLS.— These Pills ( from having been seldom advertised o£ late vears) are but little known in comparison with the " Fever Powder;" though for general family use they are scarcely, if at all, inferior to that highly celebrated medicine. The Analeptic Pills, from not containing any mercury, are admirably adapted to all ages and constitutions, and as the operation, though certain, is gen. tie, they require no confinement whatever. By acting very gently on the bowels, by promoting insensible perspiration, and all the natural secretions, they are aa invaluable remedy in rheumatic, gouty, and bilious affections, indigestions, giddi- ness, and all affections of the head, to Females of all ages the Proprietor confi- ' dently recommends the Analeptic Pills, as far superior, both in gentleness and efficacy, to any Pills ever yet invented for the sex. For sick head- ache, and all those painful complaints which females are obliged to suffer in quiet, they ara beyond belief successful, and the proprietor is satisfied that, after one box, no female will ever be without them to have occasional recourse to.— Note: Mr. R. G. G. James ( grandson of the late Dr. James, and sole proprietor of his medicines) respectfully entreats the public to see that eveiy box of pills which they purchase, has the name of R. G. G. James written upon it in the label.

THEIR MAJESTIES continue at Brighton. The KING will come to town on the 4th of February, to *> pen Parliament iu person; after which, Ilis MAJESTY will return to Brighton, and stay until the 20th. His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND, who has keen seriously unwell, but who is recovered, was to leave Vienna on Friday, on his return to London. EVERYTHING appears to augur peace, as far as Russia is ' concerned. England can hare no occasion to fight, if, like Mr. O'CONNELL, she makes up her mind to it; and, indeed, While her Ministers evince so perfect a callousness to insult, and such wonderful patience under contempt, it is quite right the national faith, the national honour, and the national cha- racter, should be sacrificed. As for Portugal, however, we are not quite sure— some preparatory paragraphs in the Ministerial papers lead us to believe that CUPID will even yet embroil us there. For the deplorable recantation of the Due de BROGLIE, at the dictation of the Russian Ambassador, we refer our readers to our last page. THE Duke of RICHMOND'S scheme for handing over the patronage of the Ordnance department for the jobbing purposes of the Ministry, has completely failed. His GRACE'S plan, or that of the person of whom he made himself the cat's- paw, was to abolish the MASTER- GENERAL, " who had always been a military Officer of high rank, and to substitute a civil Commissioner, who was to be a member of the- Government, and who was to have under him a military Officer of experience, to instruct him in all military matters— for his Grace knew very well that the civil Commissioner could know very little of fortifications, works, guns, ammuni- tion, and all the materiel of war. The military Officer was, therefore, a necessary part of the farce— the jobbing and au- thoritative parts were to have been played by some such actors as Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, whilst the knowledge and the labour were to have been per- formed, as at present, by some able and experienced Officer like Sir JAMES KEMPT. In addition to til's, the great object of seizing upon the patronage of a department, admitted on all hands to be carried on with admirable efficiency under a military leader, was the secondary object of aiming a blow at the Army which might gratify the personal disappointment • of the Duke of RICHMOND in 1830, and his personal spleen against the Duke of WELLINGTON ; but which Would also make the Army feel— the loyal Anti- Whig Anny— that their interests were to be sacrificed, because they Tvere consistent in their allegiance to the Monarchy ; and be- cause they knew enough of the flippant pretensions of the Duke of RICHMOND to Scout his attempt to be the successor of the Duke of WELLINGTON at the Ordnance Board on the formation of the Whig Ministry, which he alone of all the Tory party had joined. When we say the interests of the Army were to be sacri- ficed, we consider that the credit, honour, and justifiable ambition of the profession have hitherto been gratified by having one of their body at the head of a great military de- partment, generally connected with the KING'S Government hy being in the Cabinet, where all military interests could be supported and protected. This ancient practice was as po- litic as it was wise; but those feelings were to be outraged as a punishment for the loyalty of the Army, and at a moment when that Army had just been tried by a Reformed House of " Commons, and found not only not wanting, but bad received from the hands of the Committee the highest encomium for its admirable management. But when the Duke of RICHMOND found that the idea of placing his Grace at the head of a great Military Board, to be denominated civil, but to be in fact military, was reprobated with universal indignation, even in the Times newspaper, his Crace is said to have discovered that the head of that Board ought to be in the House of Commons, and- that Lord JOHN RUSSELL, or Mr. EDWARD ELLICE, would fill the office with greater propriety. Will those gentlemen first make the experiment, by conso- lidating the Paymaster- General's department with the War- Office; next, by transferring the Commissariat department — now under the Treasury, at an expense of 12,0001. a- year for clerks— to the War- Office. These consolidations can easily be understood; they relate to contracts for provisions and forage, and cash- payments. But we hear that our old friend CREEVY, the Treasurer of the Ordnance is to be sacrificed. He has no seat— he has grown old, and is politically useless; " quarter- day" will no longer gladden him, as in other times, at the Board of Controul, which he so facetiously described in the House of Commons, and which facetious description we had the eminent satisfaction of versifying. It is hard to think that this ancient and consistent Whig, who has borne the brunt of the day, should be overthrown to please a Tory renegade. We protest against this proceeding as most unfair to a witty, clever man, who has more sense in his little finger than Lord BROUGHAM'S Cabinet Simpleton has iu his whole body— who never, like the Duke of RICHMOND, refused his salary on quarter- day, because his duties were supposed to be light and easy, and then, on a representation got up for a display of mock patriotism, received the salary, arrears and all. Compare this apostate patriot with his Grace's patron, friend, and master, the Duke of WELLINGTON, whose disinte- restedness has been so well described in the United Service Journal of December, that we cannot refuse ourselves the pleasure of giving it to our venders, more p « iKicularly as the writer lias every claim to our respect, Wild to that of the Duke of RICHMOND himself. In alluding to the garrison appointments, which the writer says cannot be made too public to the army and the country, he states the sacrifice of upwards of 3,0001. to have been made by the Duke of WELLINGTON in appointing old soldiers to the offices of Wardens of the Tower in these words :— " Here we have a fart truly characteristic of the Duke of WEL- LINGTON, for not only hod he, from his own emolument, made this sacrifice, in order to e" sb » i} lish a reward for the old soldier, but he had done it so quietly, and so entirely without ostentation or parade, that the fact was unknown except to those few whose department it con- cerned, and the men themselves who were benefitted by this con- siderate act of liberality. Not many men would have made the sa- crifice, but still fewer would have iriade it without claiming the ap- plause and popularity which would naturally attach to. such con- duct."— United Service Journal, Dec., p. 450. Again we say, compare this conduct with that of those who have vainly endeavoured to overthrow the system and princi- ple of the Duke of WELLINGTON. Reform was introduced into the Ordnance by the Duke— it was continued by Lord BERF. SFORD,— it is acted upon by Sir JAMES KEMPT: but Reform was only the stalking- horse, the shallow cover, under which the envy and spleen of an ungrateful renegade were to have been gratified., The defeat has been signal— the mortifi- cation proportionabiy great. SIR WILLIAM HORNE, we suppose, begins to think that the representation of Marvlebone will be rather inconvenient for an Attorney- General, during a Session which promises ample employment for that functionary in the prosecution of tax cases. It is said he is to succeed Mr. Baron BAYLEY iu the Exchequer— this is not " exalting the Horne" much. THE following article appears in Friday's Morning Post:— " ( FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) " An impression was very general yesterday in the Money Market that some great financial operation was contemplated by the Govern- ment in consequence of the languor of Consols, when the French Funds came higher, and there were other circumstances apparent that had a tendency to advance them. The financial operation, on the part of the Government, that yesterdav produced some impres- sion among parties engaged in the Money Market we understand to be sales ofStock belonging to Savings' Banks to meet part of the fl'est India Compensation derhand. We believe that the Government has already obtained by this means about three millions by sales of Stock of small amount, and this proceeding is to be continued until the fund will amount to eight or ten millions, which probably will be all that will be required during the present year." We were prepared for much— but we must admit that if this statement, either of what it is proposed to do, or of what has actually been done with the savings of the industrious and poorer classes be true, the facts contained in it far exceed our most extensive expectations of the misdoings of our misguided Government. That Ministers may consider the deposits of the poorer classes, when transferred to their Commissioners for the re- duction of the National Debt, " their own," and that being so, they have a right to do with their own what they like, is extremely probable ( although, as we are instructed, not legal) ; and in other times, when the Revenue was flourishing, when there was no difficulty in raising taxes, nor any resistance to the payment of them, the debentures issued to the Trustees of the Savings' Banks were most satis- factory securities: but what is the actual state of the case ? the Revenue is decreasing— the indisposition to pay taxes is universal— public confidence is shaken— the demands upon the Government are enormous— and at this period Ministers choose to appropriate the hard- earned savings of the free Whites of England to the purchase of the Blacks on slave settlements, in order to complete a scheme, which, as it is now likely to be managed, will end in the loss of the Colo- nies, and the destruction of the Mother Country. It was certainly a great stroke of policy to establish and encourage Savings' Banks, the contributors to which, would, by the enactments relative to them, become interested in the political welfare of the country, and in the healthful state of her public funds. But it should be recollected that, if an alarm is once spread, the contributors may instantly demand their contributions back again, and which, when they dis- cover that they are to be sent oft' to the West Indies to com- pensate the planters there, for the authorised robbery commit- ted upon them, we think it extremely probable tile greater proportion of them will immediately do. We repeat, that with a well conducted Government, and in other times, no better security could be offered than the pub- lic credit; but we must also repeat, that at the present period, and with a Ministry whose first— luckily unsuccessful— finan- cial experiment, was that, of taxing tile Funds themselves, the case is widely different. THE Queen of the BELGIANS, it is reported, is again in the way in which she was last year. Upon this bit of news one of the papers remarks, " That if King LEOPOLD'S family encreases at such a rate he will be obliged to draw his English pension again."— We should be very glad to know when he ceased drawing it, and what balance has ever been paid back out of it, since we made a KING of him. IT may be recollected that a few months since we ex- pressed our conviction of the ultimate success of Don CARLOS iu the conflict for the Spanish Throne. Every day's experi- ence tends to confirm the opinion which we then gave; for, from all we can learn from public and private sources, the QUEEN'S army seems to be mouldering away, without the possibility of recruiting it, while the spread of what the courtiers call the " Insurrection," narrows the field whence resources can be drawn: and when those resources and credit shall fail ( and we really do not see how they can be kept up except by foreign aid), adieu to a Government and a system which has not a root in the soil, and which has no principle, public or political, on which it can rest; the QUEEN being neither Constitutional, nor Liberal, nor Carlist. The contest may, however, be prolonged for many months; because there is great want of energy in the leaders of both parties, and, as it appears, a considerable lack of ability; while either side appears to possess that unbounded confidence which is derived from great ignorance, combined with stubborn- ness of national character— these united, may uselessly spin out the contest, after it has been substantially decided; but, in conclusion, we are convinced that the Queen of SPAIN will never sit upon the Throne of that country. The following facts have transpired, which are extremely important and interesting, in relation to Spanish affairs :— When IvingFERDINAND was seriouslyill in 1832, he solemnly executed an instrument, declaring Don CARLOS his lawful successor, expressing at the same time his conviction of the justice and propriety of the act. AY hen he recovered from that indisposition, the QUEEN and her sister exerted their influence over him in favour of the infant Princess, and under that in- fluence he revoked the declaration he had previously made' in favour of Don CARLOS. In order to mystify and weaken the character of his first declaration, it has been stated that his Minister, CALOMARDE, prepared and presented to him for signature a paper, that her did not of himself intend to sign; but this fact is strongly and- authoritatively contradicted, and a statement fully substan- tiated, that he not only signed the paper, but made the declaration, in the presence of all the Ministers, with the ex- ception of the Secretary of War, who happened accidentally to be absent. With this knowledge, then, how is it possible that M. ZEA BERMUDEZ can have been induced to issue an order, de- claring that, in the event of the capture of Don CARLOS, he was immediately to be shot! Is it possible that in the nineteenth century an order for a premeditated murder, unequalled in history ( except by that of the Duke d'ENGHEIN under the savage reign of BUONAPARTE), can have beeu promulgated ?— it seems incredible, but so IT IS. We may be told that the order was issued to strike terror into Don CARLOS and his partizans; but what security have we that such is the fact ? To us, indeed, the sanguinary mandate conveys a most terrible meaning: to murder Don CARLOS alone, would leave the suc- cession where it is; was it proposed to destroy his children too, and thus set the question at rest entirely ? The idea is horrible and revolting. That child- murder is in the present conflict considered justifiable, we know; and so will our readers when they have read the following letter:—- SPAIN. OFFICIAL DOCUMENT FORWARDED TO THE GENERAL DEPUTATION OF THE LORDSHIP OF BISCAY. " My troops having, for motives of importance, taken possession of five individuals celebrated for the hatred they bear to our legitimate Monarch, I detained them at my head quarters, at the same time treating them with respect. The enemy sent a detachment of500 or GOO men from Bilboa to Munguia to seize my family ; and on the following day ( the 20tli December) the corps advanced on my position at Arietta, with my children placed in its foremost rank. It will fee easy for your Excellencies to judge the cruel torture that my soul experienced in such a moment. As a Carlist General my duty imperiously engaged me to attack, while parental love, on the other hand, made me hesitate, for my children W'ould have been the victims had an engagement ensued. In this dreadful predicament I thought it my duty to endeavour to defeat the enemy without being obliged to undertake the cruel necessity of assassinating with my own hands the dearest portion of myself; and to con- ciliate the duties of the General with the affection of the father, I retired on Rigolia, and thence on Guernica. I was attacked on the 21st by the enemy, who giving proofs at the same time of cowardice and cruelty, again advanced against me, with my children ill the foremost rank. Oh! what a horrid situation for a father! what a terrible trial for a General! The Almighty granted me strength. ' Blessed be religion !' exclaimed I, ' and God preserve our legitimate King Don CARLOS, even should my death and the death of my children be the consequeuce.' Forgetting that I was a father, I placed my troops in a most advantageous position, and the most tremendous fire ever seen or heard by the Biscayans soon commenced. The engagement began beneath the tree of Guernica, that glorious sign of proud recollections for the noble sons of a privileged country; the tree beneath whose branches we swear fidelity to the King our Lord; beneath whose branches our Kings swear that they will respect our rights: it was there that, following the example ol their ancestors, the Biscayan troops covered themselves with glory. " The pen is unable to describe the intrepidity with which our Royalists rushed on the enemy, and attacked them in the houses where they placed themselves to be more secure. Notwithstanding the favour'ot the night, which prevented the engagement continuing, 8o of them were alone able to effect their escape. Their Commander, in his flight, was wounded; the remainder of his forces are eithec dead or prisoners ; of the last there is a great number in my power. " This, your Excellencies, is the happy result of the first action which has taken place between the loyal soldiers in Biscay and the partisans of the usurpadora ( usurpers). " Your Excellencies and the King our Lord may expect the most glorious success from those who in the first encounter have behaved, with so much distinction. " FERNANDO ZAVALA. " Head- quarters of Artiaga, Dec. 24." It seems that ZAVALA did not many until 1823, so that the eldest of these four infants thus exposed to death from a parent's hand cannot be more than nine years old. Our blood runs cold at the thought. The Carlists have hitherto refrained from retaliation for the murders and mas- sacres which have been committed on their compatriots, but this state of things cannot last. These are scenes and circumstances which a civilized world does not expect to witness; and yet, to the support of such measures, and of the men with whom they originate, ENGLAND is pledged by that mirror of diplomacy, Lord Viscount PAL- MERSTON. IT is said that Mrs. FITZHEISRERT lias fallen into disgrace in a high quarter, because she " assisted" at one of the parties given by the Citizen- King of the FRENCH at Paris. WE have before announced that there will be no war with Russia. Lord PALMERSTON has succumbed, and our country is again humbled. The next curious point, and which adds considerably to the bitterness of the affront put upon oui' Foreign Minister, is, the refusal of the Emperor of RUSSIA to receive the Ambassador destined for his Court. In the dilemma occasioned by this unexpected rebuff, the " Tittupping Cupid" has, it is said, bethought him of Lord MULGRAVE, whom he thinks he may be able to seize upon, reeking hot from Jamaica, and throw him into the snow of St. Petersburgh. The Morning Post jokes upon this possibility, and says, if it should be so, they shall scarcely be able to know, when the " Contrast" is talked of, whether it alluded to his literary or political performances. Should the conclusion of this novel arrangement depend upon liis Lordship's " YES, or No," we think, if the Chamberlainship be within his reach, we could guess which monosyllable he would pronounce; and if he is to be jobbed out of the Chamberlainship, who is to be jobbed in ?— Lord DURHAM ? ANOTHER week has elapsed without the occurrence in Ire- land of any one single circumstance which in itself deserves our notice; but when we look at the proceedings of the REPEALERS en masse, and the apathy, not to say utter in- capacity of the Irish Government, it is impossible not to per- ceive that the cause of REPEAL is rapidly advancing. Mr. LITTLETON is admitted on all hands to be the least able of all the Secretaries who have filled his present laborious, troublesome, and disagreeable office; in fact, the office has swamped him— it never was in such a state of dire con- fusion. We firmly believe that he is looking forward to the time of his crossing" the water with more anxiety than ever a duncish school- boy looked forward to his holidays; and if, when he once gets home, he ever goes back again, we shall have a worse opinion of his judgment than we even have at present. IT is stated with confidence that Ministers have really been applying to Mr. HUME for his assistance in the Go- vernment. Report points at the seat of Lord ALTHORP in the Cabinet as the offer. We cannot quite believe it, and fancy it may arise from some temporary talk of Mr. January 12. JOHN BULL. 13 EnWART) ELLICF.' S with liim upon such a subject— per- haps hypothetically ; tliey are old friends, aud were, * ve believe, fellow- bondholders in Greek Stock. What- ever may have happened, this we know, that Mr. HUME has indignantly repelled the insinuation that he would so sell himself; and, in order the more effectually to vindicate his character from such au aspersion, is preparing night and day to attack Ministers upon every vulnerable point— he will have no easy task, but the " Labour we delight in physics pain." THE Huddersfield election has terminated as was expected; it is one of those boroughs where, as the Ministerial papers say, the " proper influence of property" has its weight, and therefore Sir JOHN RAMSDEN'S nominee has been returned. The numbers at the close of the Poll were— BLACKBURNE SADLER WOOD 234 147 108 LORD GREY is at work again—" grabbing." It may be recollected that, about two months ago, a Stall fell vacant in Canterbury Cathedral; which Stall, according to ordinary use and custom, ought to have been conferred upon the Rev. FREDERICK LOCKWOOD, late Chaplain to the House of Commons : we say ought, because the neglect of his claim— founded upon the gracious answer of the KING to a Parlia- mentary Address— seems to us very much like a deliberate affront upon the House of Commons. To this claim, however— urged as it was ( or, at least, ought to have been) by the SPEAKER, in the name of the Commons— Lord GREY paid no attention; hut bestowed the Stall upon the Rev. Dr. HUNT, Rector of St. Peter's, Bedford, Rector of St. John's, Bedford, Vicar of IVillington, in the county of Bedford, Master of St. John's Hospital, in the town of Bed- ford, Member of the Corporation of the town of Bedford, and Domestic Chaplain to his Grace the Duke of BEDFORD ; being, moreover— as of course Lord GREY did not know— principal supervisor of his Grace's temporal interests in the close borough of Bedford. There might be strong reasons for gratifying this " right- hand man" of the Duke of BEDFORD, who, as grandfather of the Reform Bill, ought of course to have every consideration, especially in Church preferments, shewn him; but a second Stall at Canterbury has fallen vacant, and the claim of the House of Commons has again been overlooked. Lord GREY has con. ferred it upon Mr. WOOD, tlie much esteemed Vicar of Ful- liam; but how has his Lordship conferred it ?— on condition that Mr. WOOD resigns Fulham. Now mark-— Mr. WOOD at Canterbury has the option of two Norfolk livings, Aylsham and Fakehham— one in the gift of the Canterbury Chapter, the other in ( lie gift of Trinity College, Cambridge— these two livings being within distance, can be held together, and therefore will suit Mr. WOOD, who exchanges the living of Fulham for the Stall, at a loss of two or three hundred a year: But that is not all Mr. WOOD has, besides a Prebend in St. Paul's Cathedral, the living of Colsden, in Surrey, which he must also vacate. It remains to be seen— in order to ascertain the entire merit of the job— who is appointed to Fulham, and who gets Colsden; the skilful part of the manoeuvre being, that Fulham is not in the gift of Lord GREY, but of the Bishop of LONDON ; so that whomsoever the Bishop may appoint, the Premier may be said to have nothing whatever to do with it. These are things to come— what is past is merely evidence that the Prime Minister, in the plenitude of his political job beries, treats the Address of the House of Commons with contempt, and adds to that haughty proceeding the perhaps less excusable one, of making his SOVEREIGN forfeit tlie Royal word, pledged in His MAJESTY'S answer to that Address, delivered to the House by Lord ALTHORP himself. IT seems, from what we can gather, that there is 110 great probability of any opposition to the return of Mr. MILES for East Somersetshire. Mr. HUNT has announced his intention to serve if elected; but we suspect that even Mr. HUNT'S leaning to conservatism, which he so clearly displayed in Par- liament, will not obtain the support of the freeholders. WE sincerely congratulate the country at large, but most especially the gentlemen subordinates in the office of the Secre- tary of State for the Home Department, 011 the acquisition which is to be made to the Government by the return to office of Lord HOWICK. It has been rumoured that Lord MELBOURNE so strongly resisted the introduction of his Lordship into his office, that rather than make the appointment he had resolved to resign ; this, we never for a moment believed ; the man above Lord HOWICK will feel nothing at all equi- valent to the sacrifice of five or six thousand a year— the unhappy people under his Lordship will be really affected by his arrival amongst them. However, it is not improbable that the offer of the office has been qualified by conditions, and that the Noble Viscount may be in- duced to " go easy"— as for keeping his temper, that would be the surest way to keep him perpetually in hot water ; it is by getting rid of such a temper altogether, that he will have a chance of tranquillity, and his subalterns the hope of a quiet life. " you behave ill on Sunday, you shall not work on Mon- day." What a curious proposition! To our view it appears, that, however agreeable ( humming and strapping, and picking and scratching for thirteen or fourteen hours a- day may be to boys and girls, if they can avoid it merely by amusing themselves on the preceding day, they will adopt the remedy offered, and so be impious 011 the Sabbath, in order to be idle next day. THE most flattering addresses have been presented by the Sheriffs and Commons of Dublin to Colonel BLACKER, on his removal from the Magistracy by the Government. THE destruction of the China trade has been resolved upon, by the Whigs, and in April— the 1st, probably— the new sys- tem comes into operation, in consequence of which, the East India Company have announced their last tea sale for March. Under the new system the KING in Council may encrease the tonnage duly from two to five shillings per ton, and the tax on goods from seven to ten shillings per cwt. Should this happen, tile whole British trade will be thrown into the hands of the Americans and the Continental States of Europe, which not being subject to those duties, will, of course, undersell and otherthrow our merchants and shipowners. WE have another political break- down to announce. The Factory Bill has foundered. It has been discovered that it is unfit for working, and that its provisions are impracticable. One part of the scheme— it seems a simple one too— turns out to be much more important than the old gentlemen who have been legislating for the little boys and girls, fancied. By a clause in the Bill, it is enacted that no children shall be per- mitted to go to work 011 the Monday who have not received certificates that they have been to school on the Sunday, and behaved well there; thus, if a mill requires twenty hands to " man " it, and fifteen of the urchins who are to work, have skipped school, and thus disqualified themselves from labour, the mill must stand still. What would make the circum- stance probably of frequent occurrence, is the premium held cut to behave ill ou the Sunday. " If," says the Bill, WE last week submitted to our readers the notice of the Churchwardens of Christchurcli, saying that no more money would be expended on account of the service of the Church of that parish. On New Year's- day, at ten minutes past two, the clock stopped. On Sunday no parochial officers appeared; there were no pew- openers— no bell- ringers— no fires; the doors were opened by the Churchwardens, and the congrega- tion was numerous. Service was performed, and an excellent sermon delivered by the Rector and the Curate, and the organist performed his part without remuneration. In the afternoon there was service at half- past two, instead of six, at which hour, as there were no candles, it could not have been performed. After tile afternoon service the congrega- tion separated— the doors were again closed, and so remain. WE have received such a description of the present state of the Colony of Newfoundland, from a source at once the most authentic and respectable, that we feel we should be commit- ting a gross dereliction of our duty, if we did not immediately call the attention of Mr. STANLEY to the subject. We have received three newspapers published in the colony; one edited by a Mr. WINTON, and another by a Dr. CARSON, who had just been returned to the Colonial Parliament, and had resigned his editorship— of the name of the editor of the third we are ignorant ; but all these papers, with different views, and through the medium of the most violent political remarks, confirm in the clearest manner, the evidences which we have received as to the condition of the Island. The state of society is literally dreadful. The most atro- cious murders and outrages are as common as in Ireland, and the inundation of Popish incendiaries, priests and laymen, is rendering the residence of Protestants in the Island not only not agreeable, but unsafe. Tile almost universal suffrage which has been granted to a population of paupers, has thrown all the political power of state into the hands of those who have 110 station whatever in the country. The candidate, who was named by the Right Reverend Padre Bishop FLEMING and his priests from the altars, and supported by five of the latter on the hustings, who, on his behalf, declared that the grass should grow before the doors of those who opposed him, is only distinguished by his in- veterate hatred of the Protestant Church, and his worse than indifference to all religious feeling, and who, without the ex- traordinary interference of the priesthood would, even in the present degraded state of society there, most unquestionably have been rejected. It is impossible here to detail all tile circumstances illustra- tive of the deplorable condition to which the present Govern- ment have reduced this community, but it is equally impos- sible not to notice a fact, for which we can vouch, that the indelicacy of the language, used by a priest of the name of TROY and his coadjutors, at the altar have been such, that ( amongst many other instances in proof of their, effects upon the decent and well- regulated part of the community), a lady, the wife of a very high public functionary in the Island, who happens to be a Roman Catholic, has on two occasions been com- pelled to leave the chapel in disgust at the manner in which the religious services of that place were conducted. A most serious illness was the consequence of that lady's second at- tendance at the chapel after her arrival in the Island, and it is generally believed that she will not venture upon a third, There are some long and able articles in the colonial Public Ledger, of which the Editor is Mr. WINTON, but for which ( at least to- day) we have not room. The following paragraph, however, from the same Paper of the 10th of last month, will serve to give some idea of the pastoral eloquence of Father TROY:— " PRIESTLY VAGARIES.— We understand ' that the Rev. Father TROY, SO called, in his public ministrations at the Catholic Chapel on Sunday last, did himself the honour to compliment us ill some- thing like the following terms:— " ' And there is that Ornge wragged wretch WINTON : there is no look ever will attind any thing that goes into his house or that comes out ov id. But lit him go an— give him rope enough and he'll hang himself." — A pleasant state of society this ! ditch in the King's- road— was quite worthy of the cause in which he was engaged. Never could there be adduced a more striking illustration of the emptiness of mob popularity than the career of this man. In the height of the excitement which he, with the aid of the Radical Press, contrived to produce, he received addresses from many corporations; and even from that of London, re- ceived the freedom of the City in a fine box. Such, however, are the fluctuations in the mud market, that in a few years after the Illustrious Personage had returned ( to the delight of the Army and the satisfaction of the country) to the Corn- mandership- in- Chief, Mr. WARBLE'S name was " never heard;" and he himself subsided into a seller of asses' milk somewhere near Tunbridge Wells. From that period nobody ever knew or troubled himself about him ; and the next that is heard of him is, that he died at some obscure place, in the 73d year of his age. With the exception of the evidence afforded to the absurdity of political " popularity" by the farmer's man at the gate near Fitzroy Farm, 011 the day of Lady MANSFIELD'S party, two years ago, in his declaration to Lord JOHN RUSSELL ( who endeavoured to awe him into letting him pass), that he had never heard his name before, anil did not care if he never heard it again, we think the end of Colonel WARDLE is the most instructive that can well be imagined. No fewer than six thousand persons have been put on board transports as convicts to Botany Bay, during the last year. A vast number who have been sentenced are still in prison or the hulks. WE regret extremely to hear that Miss MITFORD, amiable and accomplished authoress of " Our Village," many other excellent and popular works, is seriously ill. the and WE have to- day to announce the death of two " public men"— one, public by the warmth of his heart, and the energy of his disposition— tlie other rendered notorious by his politi- cal activity, the popularity which he obtained from the rabble, and by the sad and shocking reverses which, at least on that behoof, he experienced in his later day. The former of these individuals is RICHARD MARTIN, Esq., late Member forGalway, better known as DICK MARTIN, or as some of those who treated his great solicitude for the brute creation with less respect than it • deserved, would have it, " Humanity Dick,'' by way of ridicule— as the Whigs formerly called their present Lord Privy Seal " Prosperity FRED," by way ofburlesque. The estate of Mr. JMARTIN, in Galway, comprises the entire Barony of Connomara, but its extent gives no just idea of its value; it is perhaps the most worthless property for its size in the world, being in the wildest and most uncultivated part of Ireland. Mr. MARTIN was a warm advocate for the Union, and in 1808 was opposed for the county by Mr. EYRE, with whom he sustained a contest of twenty- four days, but suc- ceeded in the end. He was far advanced in life, and died at Boulogne, where, we believe, he resided rather from necessity than choice. The other individual to whom we allude, is Mr. GWILLIM LLOYD WARDLE, whose name— forgotten everywhere else— will be found in the Journals of the House of Commons, as the promoter of an enquiry into the conduct of his late Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, and the principal persecutor of that illustrious Prince He met with one congenial spirit, in the person of the pre- sent Earl of RADNOR, whose conduct throughout the affair— even to his eating the strawberries and tumbling into the THE Secretary of the Treasury at New York, recently drew upon the Branch" Bank at Louisville for 30,000 dollars, but the draught was dishonoured, and returned protested. The reason assigned for this " vastly ungenteel" conduct is, that the Go- vernment had only " effects" in the hands of the bank to the amount of 6,000 dollars— the credit of the Government of the United States must stand extremely high. THE active enemies of the Church, through their favourite organs the Ministerial newspapers, have been attacking the Bishop of EXETER, for a tyrannical revival of some obso- lete ejiiscopal law for the purpose of oppressing a meritorious young Clergyman. Of the falsehood of the statements, when we first heard them, we had no doubt; we are now enabled to substantiate their malice and incorrectness, by submitting the following authorised statement, which has been published in the Exeter Gazette :— " A printed letter having been circulated, bearing the signature of the Rev. J. COMYNS, on the subject of the Bishop of EXETER'S recent refxisal to institute Mr. COMVNS'S son to the vicarage of Erth, a re- fusal imputed in that letter to a wisli of the Bishop to obtain the patronage of the living, we are desired aud authorised to make the following statement:— " ' When Mr. COMYNS attended the Bishop on the part of his son, requesting him to forego his demand of examination, as being unex- pected by them, and unusual, the Bishop having informed him that this was not the first instance in which he had made thet demand, proceeded to state explicitly his reasons for deeming examination in the present case indispensable. " ' 1. That it appeared that Mr. COMYNS, jun., after having spent some years at Oxford, did not graduate there, but at Dublin. ( On this Mr. COMYNS admitted, that the cause of his son's having had recourse to Dublin for his degree, was that he had failed in his ex- amination at Oxford.) " ' 2. That having been born and bred in Devonshire and his family residing in this county, he had gone to Norwich, where he had been ordained both deacon and priest. " ' A long conversation ensued, Mr. COMYNS earnestly soliciting the Bishop to forego his demand, offering that his son should, for the' first year, have the assistance of an experienced curate in the care of his parish, but resting his suit on the alleged nervousness of his son. To this plea of nervousness the Bishop answered, by stating that the manner in which his examination would be conducted would prevent the possibility of its exciting any undue alarm, for that the party would be left alone with writing ' materials and a Bible, and would only be required to write ail English composition on a text of Scripture, which the Bishop would select, for the purpose of ascer- taining his ability to feed the flock of which it was intended that he should be the pastor. " ' Mr. COMYNS said, that such was the degree of his son's nervous- ness, that he would rather abandon the living than incur the examin- ation. But he expressed himself in handsome terms of the Bishop ' s kindness to him during the interview, and more than once declared liis conviction that the Bishop was actuated solely by a sense of duty. After waiting three days to enable Mr. COMYNS, jun., to think better of his determination, the Bishop gave notice to the Chapter of his refusal to institute, and of the reason. " ' Subsequently, when Mr. COM YNS, jun., had renounced all right accruing to him under the presentation, as an ecclesiastical patron in such a case has not a right to amend his presentation, the Bishop offered to the Chapter to collate any proper person, whom they, as a body, might wish to recommend ; but the Chapter having no wish to recommend, the Bishop communicated with the Archdeacon of Cornwall respecting the Curates in that county, who might be most fit for such a living, and finally collated Mr. PUNNETT as the indivi- dual in whose favour he had received the strongest attestations for learning, ability, and zealous and judicious care of the important parish 111 which he had for several years been employed as Curate.' " The following letter has also been sent to the venerable Arch- deacon of Exeter by the Lord Bishop:— "' Exeter, Dec. 31. " ' DEAR MR. AITCHNEACON— Much publicity having been given to a recent refusal on my part to institute a Clergyman presented to a living, because he declined submitting to an examination, and endea- vours having been made to excite an apprehension that this is the- commencement of a new and arbitrary practice, or at best a revival- of an obsolete statute, for the purpose of drawing the patronage of livings to myself, I think it may conduce to the preservation of that confidence which I wish to subsist between my Clergy and myself if I inform them, through you and your brother Archdeacons, of the course which I have pursued, and shall continue to pursue, in this particular. " ' It is simply this : to require examination of every person pre- sented to me for institution in whose case there appear to me grounds of apprehension that he is either unsound in doctrine or deficient in. those attainments which are necessary for the due performance of his sacred duties. " ' Of the power thus exercised by me it cannot be necessary for me to remind you, or my Clergy in general, that it is no novelty; ' that it does not rest on an antiquated statute, but is really of the very essence of episcopal government; that it is as such part of the com- mon law of the realm, and recognised to be so by the statute which, has been cited ; that the canons of the Church of England expressly enforce it; that our highest courts of law respect and uphold it; that our books of law treat it as a matter of ordinary and notorious practice. " ' I am in hopes that my Clergy will think that in my own feeling towards them, evinced in my intercourse with them during the last three years, they have a sufficient guarantee against the vexatious exercise of this or any other power belonging to my office. Be this, however, as it may, I am confident that few among them will expect, and not one will w: ish, that I shall be ' partaker ol other men's sins/ by wilfully or heedlessly consigning the most awful commission which man can receive, the cure of souls, to those of whom I may have reason to apprehend that they are incapable of discharging it faithfully and usefully. " ' You will oblige me by communicatinj this letter to the Clergy of your Archdeaconry, in any manner which you may judge best. For be assured that on this and all occasions it is my earnest wish to state plainly and explicitly the rules by which I regulate my official conduct, and the reasons on which they are founded. " ' I am, dear Mr. Archdeacon, " ' Your very faithful friend and brother, " ' H. EXETER. "' To the Venerable the Archdeacon of Exeter.' » 111 addition to the reasons given in this statement and letter, 14 JOHN BULL. January 12. a provincial paper, The Cornubian, cites the following authori- ties for the course which the Bishop felt himself called upon to adopt:— " The following quotations are from Burn's Ecclesiastical Law, last edition:— " ' From canon 39 it appears that no Bishop shall institute to a benefice any one who hath been ordained by another Bishop, unless on three conditions; the last of which is, when he shall appear upon due examination to be worthy of his ministry. " ' As to this matter of learning, it hath been allowred by the Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas, and also by the High Court of Parliament, that a clerk having been ordained, " and so pre sumed to be of good abilities, neither takes away nor diminishes the right of the Bishop to whom the presentation is made to examine aiid judge. " ' The most common and ordinary refusal is want of learning.— Page 153. If the clerk refused be the presentee of an ecclesiastical patron, he cannot afterwards present any one better qualified without the Bishop's consent, and so the lapse becomes unavoidable. " ' Examination is commonly had when application is made to the Archbishop to hold two livings.' " These quotations are given for the purpose of pointing out the existing law. There is reason to believe that the examination pro- posed to the presentee of St. Erth was the same as had been de- manded from and acceded to by another clergyman since the pre- sent Bishop's accession to his see, and was explained to be much the same as that required of a candidate for priest s orders." With these facts and authorities before us, we confess we were greatly surprised to find in the Standard of Wednesday evening, a letter signed a " Country Clergyman,"''' addressed to the Editor of the Globe, containing a virulent attack upon the Bishop of EXETER for the course he has pursued in this case. His Lordship is, by implication, denounced as self- willed, angry, given to filthy lucre, sowing the seeds of dis- satisfaction, and wounding the feelings of Clergymen and their patrons. As for the charge of " giving offence," he who justly does his duty is not likely to escape from it— and as to the cha- racter of the Bishop " of EXETER, it needs no vindication by us ; but as facts are facts, and the " Country Clergyman"''' is very particular in the terms of his disapprobation of the Bishop's conduct, we will, in the first place, submit one of the vituperative passages of his letter, to shew the perfect applicability of his censure. The Clergyman says :— " The Standard defends this proceeding with great energy, and states that the Bishop's reason for acting in such an unusual a'nd se- vere manner, was want of sufficient learning in the person presented. Now, this expression is remarkably indefinite. fVhat kind of learn- ing is meant ? Is it Latin, Greek, Hebrew, or English theology ? The three first are certainly very desirable attainments, and I heartily wish I possessed them, but they are by no means abso- lutely necessary to enable a man faithfully to discharge the duties of a parish priest in a rural district. I will venture to say, without fear of contradiction, that three fourths of the country clergy who are advanced beyond the meridian of life, would be quite unable to pass an examination in the dead languages, if they were required to do so." The Reverend Gentleman's confession of ignorance contained in this paragraph, naive as it is, is scarcely sufficiently exten- sive to answer his purpose; because it is clear, by the question he asks, that he has never read the statement which we have submitted to our readers, which was published in an Exeter paper of Saturday, and appeared in the Standard itself two days before the publication of his most absurd and ill- judged letter. The statement says:—• " To the plea of nervousness the Bishop answered by " stating, that the manner in which the examination would " be conducted would prevent the possibility of its exciting " any undue alarm, for that the party would be left alone " with writing materials and a Bible, and WOULD ONLY BE " REQUIRED TO WRITE AN ENGLISH COMPOSITION ON A " TEXT OF SCRIPTURE, which the Bishop M ould select." With this printed and published in the Standard, what becomes of the three questions which this " Country Clergyman" asks, as to what sort of learning the Bishop re- quired? With this statement printed and published before him, what becomes of his indecent, coarse, low, vulgar, and groundless abuse of his highly- gifted superior ? The Reverend Gentleman complains that he has no preferment, although he entered the Church before the Bishop of EXETER was elevated to the Bench. This, as a testimonial of the merit of the Bishop, is rather satisfactory, but nothing to complain of, for by the style and manner of the Clergyman's letter, and still more by his own admissions, it appears to us that, unless the new Church reform should " reform it altogether," he is not likely very soon to rise in the Church, even though he should write another letter of abuse against one of its brightest orna- ments. As for the justice and propriety of the Bishop's conduct, not one word is necessary beyond the simple fact, that the indi- vidual presented for induction to a living, admitted himself in- capable of writing a sermon, and declared that he would rather abandon the preferment than make the attempt. The last paragraph of the Clergyman's letter is, perhaps, the most incautious of all— he says:— " The Standard defends the Bishop of EXETER because his politi- cal sentiments coincide with their own ; but if the Bishops of NOR- WICH, CHICHESTER, or HEREFORD, had acted in a similar manner, we should have seen many sarcasms in that paper about the selfish motives and intolerance ofthe Whigs." This is a " bad shot;" for it will be seen that Mr. COMYNS, who spent some years at Oxford, and did not graduate there, but in consequence of having failed in his examination went to Dublin to get a degree, did, with all his admitted nervous- ness and incapacity, proceed to the fostering care ofthe Bishop of NORWICH, who ( he being, moreover, an alien to his diocese) was pleased to ordain him both Deacon and Priest. We think, whatever the intentions of the Country Clergyman may have been, the Bishop of NORWICH will feel about as much gratification at his praise in the affair, as the Bishop of EXETER will experience of uneasiness at his vulgar abuse. THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE. It is with feelings of the highest respect and admiration for the Duke of NEWCASTLE, that we place before our readers the details from the Nottingham Journal of the ceremony ofthe consecration of the parish Church of MARKHAM CLINTON, which Church, with the parsonage house, has been built at the sole expense of his Grace, and presented to the parish, together with the glebe and burying ground. We suspect this dona tion is unequalled in munificence in the annals of the country:— " On Friday last, we had the pleasure of witnessing the interesting ceremony of the Consecration of a new Church, at West Markham ( now called Markham Clinton), in this county. The Church ( which is delightfully situated on a commanding eminence, about half a mile from the great North- road) is a handsome specimen of Grecian archi- tecture, executed after the design of Sir ROBERT SMIRKE, R. A., by our townsman, Mr. WILLIAM SURPLICE. Tie whole of the expense ( several thousands of pounds) incurred by the erection and decoration of the Church, and the building of an excellent parsonage house, for the ' esidence ofthe Vicar, have been defrayed solely try the Duke erf NEW- CASTLE. We understand that his Grace intends to make this Church the mausoleum of his family. " About half- past eleven o'clock, the Archbishop of YORK arrived at the Church, and was received by the Duke of NEWCASTLE, the Earl of LINCOLN, and the Rev. E. H. DAWKINS ( Vicar of the parish), and a number of the Clergy who were in attendance. The usual formal- ities having been gone through, the Archbishop in his robes, attended by the Clergy in full canonicals, entered the Church, and proceeded up the aisle to the communion table, the Archbishop and Clergy alternately repeating the verses of Psalm xxiv. The Archbishop then took his place on the north side of the communion table, and after reading an appropriate exhortation, offered up a suitable prayer. " A series of supplications for the blessing of God on the perform- ance ofthe various offices of the church having been offered up, the sentence of consecration was read by the Archbishop's Chaplain, from which it appeared that the church, parsonage house, burying- ground, and glebe, were given by the Duke of NEWCASTLE ( patron of the living), without any reservation, to the Vicar and Churchwardens, and their successors, to be used as the parish church of Markham Clinton, for ever, in lieu of the old church, which has become exceedingly dilapi- dated, through length of time. " The Rev. E. H. DAWKINS then commenced the usual morning service, and preached the sermon, at the conclusion of which an ap- propriate prayer was offered up, and the final benediction pronounced by the Archbishop. " After the service, the ceremony of consecrating the churchyard as a burial- ground was performed." Well indeed may the Duke of NEWCASTLE rejoice in the words which have been used as a cry against him, while he continues to " do with his own" acts of " piety and munifi- cence like this. MR. LAMBERT, the Member for Wexford, has addressed the following letter to the editor of the Dublin Evening Post. Considering how very near Mr. O'CONNF. LL has been to high office with the present Ministers, we should think the con- cluding paragraph of the letter will be about as agreeable to the Government, as the first is complimentary to Mr. O'CON- NELL himself:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING POST. Carnagh, Id Jan. 1831. My dear Sir,— I perceive that in your paper of Tuesday last, you have made some remarks, such as I should have expected'from you, on the cowardly, blackguard abuse, which has been showered on me without intermission for several months by Mr. O'CONNELL and his worshippers. I beg leave to observe that my vote in Parliament never was at any time the political property of Mr. O'CONNELL. I have done him no wrong. I have treated those vile and scurrilous attacks with the contempt they deserved, satisfied that delusion must be transitory, and that no word, no act of mine, had afforded cause for such unmea- sured, such inveterate malignity. As to the placard to which yon allude, I neither contrived, com- posed it, nor was consulted as to the printing or circulation of it. It was the production of some spirited individuals entirely independent of me, who felt indignant at the progress of humbug anil intimidation in this county. The speech which is given to me was published, I shall not say how wisely, by one of my most indefatigable revilers, the JVexford Independent, a paper wiiich, without the slightest pro- vocation on my part, has, for the last year, circulated the most dis- fraceful libels against me. It is true that the speech which it has een pleased to attribute to me contains much of the substance of what I did say, though expressed in language not exactly such as I am in the habit of employing. I acknowledge I was determined not to hear tamely the attempt of a few ruffians to make mischief between my tenantry " and myself, and to compel them by threats and false assertions to ^ sanction by their subscriptions the delusion practised on the public, and the foul calumnies levelled at their landlord. I court investigation of my Parliamentary conduct; I neverskulked from my duty, or gave a single vote that could be blamed by the warmest advocate of popular privileges. I voted for the third reading of the Coercion Bill to protect the most valuable rights ofthe people, when also by that very Bill steps were taken to relieve the country from the burthen of tithes, and advances were made to a permanent and satisfactory settlement of that important question. I can say with truth, that many of those advantages were the result of my re- spectful but urgent representations to influential members of His Majesty's Government. I never trafficked for place, or felt the hot and cold fits of a paltry selfish ambition. I can say with a distinguished character ofthe last century, " Sin- gular as my present situation is, it is neither painful, nor was it un- foreseen. He is not fit for public business who does not, even at its entrance, prepare his mind for such an event. Health, fortune, tranquillity and private connexions, I have sacrificed upon the altar of the public,' and the only return I receive, because I will not concur to dupe and mislead a senseless multitude, is barely that they have not yet torn me to pieces. That this has been the only return" is my pride and a source of more real satisfaction than honours and pros- perity." For the rest— the catastrophe of this political drama ap- proaches rapidly. Mr. O'CONNELL has been driven into a position from which there is no retreat, I will not say with honour, but even with safety. There is but one line of conduct left for the constituted authorities of the country, and I have no doubt they will adopt it with a wisdom and a determination suited to the awful responsibility which has been imposed on them.— I am, Sir, <$ rc., H. LAMBERT. PEMICAN. The festivities at Belvoir in honour of the noble owner's birth- day have been particularly brilliant. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in excellent health, has been amongst the numerous visitors. The Augsburgh Gazette announces the nuptials of the Princess MATILDA of BAVARIA and the Hereditary Prince of HESSE DARM- STADT, which were solemnized in the Palace at Munich, on the even- ing of the 26th nit. The marriage of Lady KATHARINE GRIMSTON, which was an- nounced in all the newspapers as having taken place at Gorhambury a week or two since, with an elaborated detail of all the consequent gaieties, the names of the company, and a description of the dresses of the principal" characters" in the drama, has not yet been celebra- ted— nor will be, until the return of the bridegroom, Mr. BARHAM, from— and for— the borough of Kendal: where what the Globe calls the proper influence of property will of course secure his election. The contemplated marriage between Sir HUGHPURVES CAMPBELL, Bart., of Marchmont, and Miss SPOTTISWOODE, is understood to be fixed for the 15th instant. The Baronet is the nephew of the first husband of Lady MANNERS SUTTON, and inherits the estates of the extinct Earls of Marchmount. The bride, who is both beautiful and highly accomplished, will have a very large fortune. On Thursday was married, by special licence, at the residence of Lord TENTERDEN, in Portman- square, by the Hon. and Rev. ROBT. EDEN, the Hon. CHARLES ABBOTT, brother of the present and son of the late Lord TENTERDEN, to EMILY FRANCES, youngest daughter of Lord GEORGE STUART. After the ceremony the happy couple left town in a new travelling chariot and four, for Ball's Park, the seat of Captain TOWNSHEND, in Hertfordshire. Colonel Sir HENRY COOKE is about to be united to Miss RAIKES, daughter of THOMAS RAIKES Esq., formerly of Grosvenor- square. Last week the newspapers gave a long account of a very wonderful discovery of a most valuable and ancient picture of the Battle of Agincourt in the vaults of Guildhall; it was unrolled with all the care that men bestow on mummies— Aldermea^ Common Councilmen^ Deputies, and Marshalmen all wondered at its beauty and freshness. Amazement seized the Corporation, and their hearts were gladdened by the possession of the relic— when lo and behold ! it turned out to be one of Sir ROBERT PORTER'S panoramas, which had been exhibited at the Lyceum a few years since, and which, not knowing what upon earth to do with, he gave to theCity. The advantage derivable from the advancement of Radical politics is made evident at every possible opportunity- Mr. ROEBUCK, the gentleman who represents Bath, has written to the Secretary of the Bath and West of England Agricultural Society, that he is not able to contribute to the funds of that or any other of the local institutions. The death of Mr. BRIGSTOCK vacates the representation of East So- merset. The resignation of Mr. KENNEDY vacates Ayrshire, and puts a seat at the Treasury Board, at the disposal of Lord GREY. It is said Mr. KENNEDY, retires . because he thinks Ministers are not dis- posed to go far enough in their reforms. We must say he seems un- reasonable. Dungarvon is also vacant— Leeds will be, and Hudders- field has been. It will be seen that the Crown have offered to relieve Mr. BARRETT, the proprietor of the Pilot-, if he will obtain from O'CONNELL a confes- sion that he wrote the alleged libel which appeared in that paper. We do not see how Mr. BARRETT, after the course he has taken, could pursue the line suggested, nor do we believe that he would be able to induce the Agitator to make any such admission; and if he did— what then ? In spite of Mr. LAMBERT'S estimate of Mr. O'CONNELL'S influence, we doubt very much indeed that the Go- vernment dare transfer the prosecution to O'CONNELL— that if they did transfer it, we doubt very much whether they would obtain a conviction— and we doubt still more whether, if they did, they could presume to execute the sentence which the boldest ofthe Judges might venture to pronounce. Mr. BABINGTON MACAULAY has been sworn in Fourth Member in Council at Calcutta, and been feasted accordingly by the Directors. This gentleman, by his accession to a very easy office of upwards of 10,0001. a year ( leaving his venerable parent in possession of another easy office of about 1,2001. a year value), will, it is said, resign his seat for Leeds ( the office he has taken does not necessarily vacate it). Mr. SADLER, unless disheartened by his defeat at Huddersfield, will offer himself; so does Mr. BAINES, the editor of the Leeds Mercury. Totness is all alive with electioneering. Lord SEYMOUR, we sup- pose, is secure. Mr. MAYNE'S friends, however, think the reverse. Lord DURHAM'S friends and servants, his law- agent, his coal- agent, a groom, and some other respectable upholders of the freedom of the Press, have all been convicted of a gross assault upon the Editor of the Newcastle Journal. The principals in this nefarious business have been fined 501., and the groom 51. THE REVENUE.— The returns of the Quarter's Revenue, ending on Sunday, shew a deficiency for the quarter of £ 91,547, and for the year £ 442,494. The decrease on the Customs for the year is £ 612,894, and for the quarter just ended not less than £ 293,019, being in the proportion of nearly double what it is for the whole year.— There is also a deficiency in the Post- office returns. The Standard says—" It is reported in the City that Government has it in intention to sell out the stock of the Savings' Banks, for the purpose of paying the advance to the West Indians, at the rate of 60,0001. per week. Can thiS be true ? We have noticed already the liberality of Mr. ROEBUCK, the Radi- cal Bath Member. We have another instance to record in the case of Wigan, the Members for which place have always been in the habit of furnishing a daily newspaper for the use of the Mayor. Messrs. THICKNESSE and POTTER, the Radical Representatives, have announced their intentions of withholding this civility in future. We ought, perhaps, to add, that Mr. ECKERSLEY, the present Mayor, is a staunch Conservative. As a contrast to this, let us beg attention to the following extract from the Boston Herald:— " The voters in the interest of Mr. WILES have been per- fectly astonished at the extent of his liberality, for, as new year's gifts, a number of tickets, of which the following is a copy, have been distributed:— " ' NEW YEAR'S GIFT, 1834.— Prosperity to Boston and the old True Blue cause.— Pay one shilling to bearer, for JOHN WILKS, Esq. " ' WILLIAM LANGWITH. " ' B3P1 Tradesmen or persons producing this ticket at the White Hart Inn, on Monday, Jan. 6,1834, between ten and two, will receive the amount.' " Let us hear no more of Mr. WILKS'S economy, for we feel certain that no other Member of Parliament ever made such present to his electors ! What voter's conscience can stand against this weighty temptation? and if it be true that' Every man has his price,' then infallibly must the entire constituency of the borough of Boston be corrupted by the gold— yes! it would take gold— of the Honourable Member." We cannot resist a desire to call public attention to an admirably well- written appeal to the Peeresses of England, from the pen of a Lady to whom the country owes much for her unremitting support of those principles, moral and religious, upon the maintenance of which the security and stability of our institutions so vitally depend. It is published by Messrs. RIVINGTON. Mr. PRINCE HOARE has been overturned in his curricle, near Brighton, and has, unfortunately, broken his arm. The KING, who came up just as the accident happened, graciously offered the sufferer a seat in the Royal carriage— which offer, although made to a Prince, was respectfully declined. All obstructions having been removed to the building of the New English Opera House, it will be commenced forthwith on the site of the former Theatre. It appears from the model to be on an improved plan, as the company in the lower circle of boxes particularly will be no longer incommoded by an indiscriminate mixture with " females of a certain class," and the other boxes will be in a great measure relieved from the nuisance. The Theatre will be about the size of that destroyed by fire, and will have a handsome front in the new street which is to lead from the Strand to Charles- street, C'ovent- garden, and will have entrances besides from Exeter- street and Burleigh- street; and it is expected that it will be erected and finished early in the ensuing autumn. It appears that Mr. COLMAN, in his capacity of Deputy Licenser, has prohibited the performance of a drama called " Captain Ross," at Hull, or rather prohibited the use of Captain Ross's name in the entertainment. In Mr. COLMAN'S power we have firm belief, in its execution we have always supported him; but we do think, in the present instance, where the piece is a compliment to Captain Ross, and Captain Ross himself has no objection to its title, he might have relaxed from his resolution not to permit the introduction of the name of any living individual into a play bill; more especially as, at a minor theatre in Hull, which is not under the LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S protec- tion, a drama on a similar subject, called " C'uptain Ross," has been produced. If we were the proprietors of the Hull theatre, we should January 12. JOHN BULL. 15 re- christen the drama, and as expressing our sense of the value of Captain Ross's services, and to distinguish hi ™ from Ms gallant nephew, call it Rosso Antico. Intelligence has been received of the death of ABBAS MIRZA, the son and designated heir of the King of PERSIA, who was marching at the " head of an army to put down an insurrection of one of his brothers. This eventwill probably give rise to some disturbances in the East. His MAJESTY has been graciously pleased to transmit to the Marquess of CHANDOS, through the Privy Purse, the sum of 501. in aid of the fund for giving premiums to agricultural labourers. The interests of the new State of Belgium, foreign and domestic, flourish, it appears, to a degree which cannot but be deemed satis- factory. A certain Mr. O'SULLIVAN is about to set out for Vienna as Belgian Charge d'affaires. The produce of Belgium is hence- forth to be received in Egypt, and charged with only the same rate of duty as the produce of other countries. And the workmen of Ghent, • who threatened an emevte in the absence of employment and the deprivation of bread, which their glorious revolution has produced, lave been assured by the Governor of that place that if they will only state their grievances in writing he will do everything in their favour that his situation permits. At a meeting of the Law and Mercantile Clerks of Dublin, held at the Royal Exchange in that City, on Sunday, for petitioning against the Union, and for the total extinction of Tithes and Ministers money, Mr. O'CONNELL stated that he should bring on the question of Repeal in the House of Commons, on or about the 15th of April. Why not the Ist of April ? The Marquess de FITZJAMES was last week arraigned before the Court of Assizes for the Seine Inferieure, held at Rouen, upon an indictment for attacking the order of succession to the Throne and the rights which the KiNG'holds from the nation, by chalking on a wall of a public inn at Guerbaville " Vive Henry V.," and beneath it a large pear. The Marquess, in defending himself, maintained that the simple expression of the three words " Vive Henry V." could not be made to amount either to treason or sedition ; still he, as well as many other young men who had taken no part in the errors of the Restoration, meant by the use of it to declare their hope that one day their country might enjoy happiness, liberty, independence, honour, and glory. He concluded by declaring that, if his devotion to the cause he had espoused should bring him to the scaffold, his last prayer should be for HENRY V. and France, and his last words those which had brought him to the bar of that tribunal. He was acquitted by the Jury, and immediately discharged. The agents of the Ex- Emperor of BRAZIL at Glasgow engaged a medical man to go out to Portugal as a Military Surgeon, at 12s. 6d. per day. On his arrival at Lisbon he was informed that the agents of Don PEDRO in Glasgow had no authority to engage Surgeons, but if he chose it he might serve as a common soldier ! He of course instantly returned in disgust at such treatment, and is now in Glasgow. The Journal des Debuts at length has spoken out on the subject of Russia and Turkey. It says that the ruin of the Ottoman Empire is inevitable, and that it is impossible to allow it to fall to the exclusive profit of one European Power. France, therefore, must be aggrandized as well as Russia. What is to be England's share ? TRADE WITH CHINA.— The Order in Council fixing the duties on British vessels entering and leaving the port of Canton has produced much reasonable dissatisfaction in the mercantile world. The rate Of duty is first 2s. a ton on the vessel, and then an ad valorem duty of 7s. per cent, on the cargo, which, on a vessel of 400 tons entering and leaving the harbour of Canton, with a cargo worth 100,0001., would amount to 7401. for port charges. There surely must be some mistake. Such duties would be perfectly ruinous, and if the idea of imposing them was ever entertained it will have to be given up. The Americans, to say nothing of other nations, will be found for- midable rivals, even without this outrageous imposition, and with it they would speedily drive us out of the market.— Leeds Mercury. We find the following in the Lisbon correspondence of the Times:— " Admiral NAPIER is higly displeased with this service, and says without concealment that he would quit it, if he could get security for his prize- money; he complains of the state of the navy, and he attributes the bad state of affairs to the Minister of Marine, whose dismissal he has already requested from the Emperor, but in vain. He is determined to make no alteration till forced." It has been ordered by a Treasury Minute, that no debenture stamp duty shall in future be required on claiming bounty or draw- back for goods shipped as stores. Last Sunday evening, a chaise drove up to the Angel Inn, in Warminster, and put down a lady and gentleman, totally destitute of any luggage. The lady desired to see the landlady. On her going to the room, the gentleman directed her to leave it, which she did, and shortly after sent in the waiter, who found that the parties had left the house. It appears that they had gone to the Lord's Arms, and there bespoke a bed, but while partaking of refresh- ments, they changed their minds and ordered a chaise, in which they drove off' for Deptford Inn, where they succeeded in getting a bed. Next morning the party drove off. The lady is wife to a gentleman of fortune, proprietor of a pack of hounds, and mother of three children ; the gay Lothario is said to be a master of the ceremonies in a fashionable city.— Salisbury Herald. Count MATUSCHEWITZ had a most providential escape from being seriously injured on Tuesday by the falling of a large chimney, occasioned by the high wind, as he was proceeding to his stables ; he had scarcely passed, when several hundred bricks fell with a great crash to the ground. Russia has a fleet of twenty- three sail of the line in the Euxine, moored within sixty hours' sail of Constantinople ; twenty- seven ships of the line in the Baltic ; and 50,000 chosen troops ready to be embarked at a moment's notice! During the stay of Captain Ross in Felix Harbour, Boothea, he found a native called Tullooalim, who had lost his leg by being jammed in the ice ; from the attention of the natives to this man, it would be imagined that he was a chief among them. The noble Captain set to work and made a wooden leg : when it was ex- hibited to the natives, their delight and admiration knew no bounds on seeing their leader on a new footing. This circumstance se- cured the brave Captain Ross and his crew many comforts among these natives during their stay on the island. The Dutch papers contain an article from St. Petersburgh, disavowing the offensive article in the Moscow Gazette, in which it was said that the next peace between England and Russia would be signed in Calcutta, and declaring thai there is no ill- feeling against the English nation in Russia. It is., it seems, only against the Radicals of the JKNGUSH ParUaroent that NICHOLAS entertains hostility. OFFICIAL ASSIGNEES. TO JOHN BULL. SIR,— I regret to see your writer on the new Bankruptcy Court not only cling to his former misrepresentations, but adding to them in a way by which the public must be furthermisled. Not content with the gross exaggeration of the balances in hand, as stated in a former Paper, he yesterday gives what he calls a short Conspectus of the Returns moved for by the House of Commons. The public will be surprised to learn that scarcely one sum in this " Conspectus" has been tran- scribed correctly! He goes on to state that the Official Assignees have pocketted 10 per cent, on the dividends, a statement than which nothing can be more false. He then informs us the number of dividends has been 373, and the sum divided 223,2421. Now, as eleven of the Assignees only have returned the amount divided, the remaining five stating only the rate of the dividend per pound, it is not clear from whence he can derive this total, nor can it be supposed he is so ignorant as not to know that many Bankruptcies are insuffi- cient to make a dividend, and that others are superseded; both which classes create plenty of trouble to Solicitors and Assignees, and, consequently, require some remuneration. He must also have seen, in the Report before him, tli^ t the sum awarded to the Official Assignees was not on the 373 estates, which had paid dividends, only, but on 736, that being the number upon which the Commis- sioners will be found to have made them allowance. 6th Jan., 1834.

CAMBRIDGE, Jan. 10.— The subject of the Seatonian prize- poem, for the present year is, " Jacob." OBITUARY. It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce the death of that distin- guished divine, and ornament of the Scottish Church, the Rev. Dr. Inglis, who expired at his house in George- square, Edinburgh, on Thursday, the 2d inst., at twelve o'clock. He had been indisposed for some months before with a disorder in his stomach, but no serious apprehensions were entertained; and on Sunday fortnight, consulting the dictates of duty rather than of prudence, he rose from his bed and preached in the afternoon, against the advice of his friends, who, in their anxiety to relieve him, had procured an assistant to officiate in his place. At his house in Queen- square, Bath, in the 88th year of his age, the Rev. Martin Stafford Smith, B. D. formerly of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, Rector of Flad bury. In him the Church has lost a firm supporter, the poor a most liberal bene- factor, and by a widely extended circle of friends he will long be deeply and de- servedly lamented. At Woodmanstern, Surrey, tile Rev. Gilbert Buchanan, LL. B., Rector of that parish, and Vicar of Northfleet, aired 84. The Rev. Daniel Lysons, A. M., F. R. S., A. S., L. S. and H. S., of Hempsted- court, Glocester, much and deservedly lamented. ORDINATION. the first establishment of the Church requires a corresponding in- crease in the means of religious instruction"— it proceeds to state that " any judicious and well- considered measures which should tend to correct abuses, particularly that of non- residence, to uphold the Church in her former purity, to extend the means of religions in- struction, to increase the emoluments of such of the inferior Clergy as are now, by common consent, ill- requited for their labours, or equit- ably and permanently to adjust the question of tithes, your petitioners would hail with joy.'' On Tuesday last, the Rev JOHN BLENNERHASSETT, Rector of Ryme Intrinseca, Dorset, was presented by Lieut. Col. KING, on behalf of himself and the parishioners of Folke, principally of the respectable poor, with a very handsome silver cup, as a grateful testimonial of their high esteem for the Rev. Gentleman in the performance of his clerical duties, and general kindness to the parishioners during the period of a twelvemonth, in which he officiated for the late incumbent at the Church of that place. The general Annual Meeting of the Huntingdon District of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge was held at the Town. Hall, on Wednesday, the Lord Bishop of LINCOLN in the chair. Bjr a statement made by the Secretaries it appeared that :< 24 Bibles, 323 Testamants, and' 644 Prayer Books have been distributed during the past year, whilst of scho'ol and other books 3,897 had been dis- seminated. We are glad to learn that the Members of this In.- titra- tion are greatly extending its sphere of usefulness; and the number of new subscribers who have jomed it within the last year or two is a proof of the activity which is going on for the promotion of religious instruction and the education of the poor. The Archbishop of YORK has directed a Curate in his diocese, who refused to read the burial- service over the body of a child of a Baptist Dissenter, to perform the service in future in all cases where the person to be interred had received baptism from any Christian Minister. THE HAMLET OF HAMMERSMITH.— The Bishop of LONDON has forwarded a communication to the Vestry of Hammersmith, recom- mending the separation of the hamlet from the parish of Fulham, of which it has always formed a part, so as to constitute the hamlet a distinct and separate parish. The Rev. WALTER HOOK, the worthy Vicar of the Holy Trinity, Coventry, has commenced a course of Lectures on the Liturgy of trie Church of England. In the one of Wednesday evening last, he took a rapid, yet lucid glance at the history of the Church, from the time of our blessed Saviour ; commencing with a description of the various Orders, their use and offices, established at the earliest period of the Christian era; and proceeding through the lives of the Fathers, down to the time of the Reformation, which swept away the abuses of Papal power, and restored the Church to its primitive purity. His con- cluding remarks evinced a true Christian spirit, and were remarkable for their elegance of diction, and eloquence of thought and manner. At his late tithe- audit, the Rev. Mr. GIBSON, Vicar of Chenwortli; Gloucestershire, generously made a deduction of 10 per cent., Jin example worthy of imitation in these very deplorable times to the agriculturists.— We have no hesitation in asserting, that in a vast majority of instances the Clerical tithe- holder takes much less tithe than the Lay impropriator— a difference the more observable, as the former has only a life- interest in his income, while the latter can transmit his property to his children. The Rev. Dr. VALPY, Rector of Stradishall, Suffolk, at his tithe audit on the 20th ult. made an abatement of 10 per cent, upon his tithes, and also ordered a donation of 101. to be given to the poor of that parish. The Rev. Dr. DICKEN, Rector of Norton, Suffolk, at his tithe audit on Tuesday the 31 st ult . made an abatement of 101. per cent, upon his tithes, without any solicitation. ( From a Correspondent.)— We are always glad to see the Clergy of the Established Church leading the way to the social improvement of the poor; for whenever and wherever they do so they are found to be the most efficient correctors of what is wrong, and the most persuasive promoters of " whatsoever things are true, and lovely, and of good report." Under their guidance, we now see on every side of us institutions of various kinds springing up and flourishing, which are intended to better the condition of the poor man— to make him contented and happy in that station of life in which it has pleas Jd Gon to place him, and patient under that Providence which has de- creed that " the prior shall never cease out of the land."— We have been led to these remarks by observing the great spread of those excellent institutions, called Provident Clothing Societies. In these societies, the labouring poor are encouraged to deposit weekly small sums out of their earnings,_ and the whole amount of these savings is expended at Christmas in the purchase of cheap and sub- stantial clothing. A subscription fund is raised from honorary mem- bers, from which a donation is granted to each depositor in propor- tion to his deposit ; and the business of the society is conducted under a set of rules agreed upon at the beginning of the year. Such are now in active operation at Comberton, " Swavesay, Willingham, Grantchester, Honingsea, and several other places. Of the pror- ceedings at the last mentioned place, containing a population of two hundred and seventy- six souls, we have received the following ac- count:—" Number of depositors for the first year ( 1833), eighty- seven; sum deposited 361.4s. 4d. ; allowance from subscription fund 81. 5s. Id. ; forfeits 7s. lid. ; interest from Savings' Bank 8s. Id- Blankets, sheeting, fustian, calico, < fec. were therefore distributed to the value of 451.5s. 6d. This substantial result of their own savings appeared more to gladden the hearts of the people, and to afford them more true satisfaction, than, I think, would have been the case, if the whole had been gratuitously distributed." The following is a true copy of a letter which the churchwarden of a parish situate between Gloucester and Chepstow received from an inhabitant of the said parish: " Sir, the tap part of the Spire is give .. .,. ~ ' ' ' dveij Your The Lord Bishop of BATH and WELLS intends to hold an Ordina- tion at Wells on Sunday the 19th of January.

On Thursday week the Quarterly Meeting of the Lewes Deanery Committee was held at the Central School, in Church- street, the Rev. Dr. EVERARD, in the Chair. There were present Sir R. Wilmot, Bart., Revs. T. B. Powell, F. Gaunt. I. Tufnell, G. H. Langdon, and T. Trocke. The Revs. T. Cooke and I. Scobell, Secretaries. In consequence of a letter received through Dr. Holland from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, it was agreed to recommend an increased subscription of five shillings per annum, by means of the stewards and parochial clergy of the Deanery. At. this Meeting N. Borrer, Esq., the Rev. W. Gordon, and the Rev. J. G. Ash, were elected additional members. Presentation of a Piece of Plate, to the Rev. IV. 1' awdrey, late Curate of Gioinear.— On Tuesday last a public dinner was given by the parishioners of Gwinear to the Rev. W. VAWDREY. late Curate of that parish, on which occasion he was presented with an elegant silver salver, manufactured by Messrs. B. and J. ROWE, of Falmouth; Captain IIAMBLY, R. N. presided on the occasion, and about 50 of the principal gentlemen and farmers sat down to an elegant repast. The Archdeacon of GLOUCESTER has, pursuant to requisition, con- vened a General Meeting of the Clergy of that diocese for Tuesday, the 24th inst. " to take into consideration the present Spiritual state of the Church." This meeting originates in a requisition signed by some of the Clergy who attended the late meeting at Gloucester. A Petition to the House of Commons, on the subject of the contem- plated measures of Reform in the. Established Church, was agreed to a t a meeting of members of the Establishment at Northampton on Monday « @' nnight, and is in course of signature there.

It has been erroneously stated in various journals, that the late learned and lamented Bishop of LIMERICK was the only unmarried Prelate on the Irish Bench. Such was not the fact. His Grace the Lord Primate has never entered the bonds of matrimony. » j A grant of 10,0001. has been made by the Lords of the Treasury, to be placed at tho disposal of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, for paying the Easter Vestry applotments, as regulated by the Irish Cliurcli Reform Bill.

Some considerable excitement has prevailed, in consequence of it having been current that the Chancellor of the Exchequer had. on Thursday, nn interview with the heads of the 13ank Direction, at Which it was resolved that Stock should be sold by the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, on account of the Savings' Banks, to the amount required for the West India Compensation Fund ; that these sales should be at the rate of £' 40,000 weekly, or ,£ 10,000 on each transfer day ; and that the first sale of the latter " sum was made on Thursday.

I know many high- minded " Frenchmen who do thus feel ana thus express themselves to- day, and their language " by no means astonishes me. In the report which I sent you yesterday of the Speech of M. Bignon, and the adhesion to that speech by the Duke de Broglie ( and which were in every respect con- formable to the official copies of those addresses a" s published by the Moniteur), you could not fail to observe that the French Go- • vernment completely and fully adopted the views of M. Big- non, of the commission, and " of the Chamber. But yesterday ail was changed. The opposition Members, who, on Tuesday night, after the speech of the Duke de Broglie, had hastened to his salon to express to him their thanks and'confidence, found yesterday to their mortification that this hai indeed been " Love's labour lost,'' for the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who on Tuesday night had joined heart and soul with M. Bignon in declaring that Poland must be free— that the affairs of the East were most alarming—• that the German Constitutions were in danger— and that projects existed for forming an Italian Confederation, and for extending the cower of Austria in the south of Europe, was yesterday compelled to eat his own words, beg pardon of the forign diplomacy for all lie had previously said amiss, and assure the Chamber that he was a firui believer in a speedy and eternal peace. This sudden, this mira- culous, this most extraordinary change in the language ofthe Duke de Broglie, in only 18 hours, of course subjected him to energetic reproaches, and the most lively and vehement attacks Messrs. Mauguin and Odillon Barrot literally crushed him with their taunts, their gibes, their jests, aud their sneers. They of course were victorious, for such changes as these are too manifestly the result of fearto be tolerated in any national assembly. In vain did M. Thiers come to the relief of his colleague. His shafts fell harmless, and his irony was perfectly innocuous. The speech of M. Theirs was also mostunlike that ofthe Duke de Broglie, and the great mystification ofthe last 24 hours became apparent. It is said, then, that on Tuesday evening the Russian Ambassador demanded of the Duke de Broglie, an explanation of his policy and liij speech— that on Wednesday morning Louis Philippe was much displeased with his Minister for Foreign Affairs, for the adhesion lie had given toM. Bignon's address— that the Ambassadors of Austria and Prussia required to knowwliat was meant by the Duke de Broglie assenting to the attacks made by the address commission on the con- federation of Germany, the Governments of Prussia and Austria, and on all legitimate and monarchical institutions. The Duke de Broglie was obliged to yield— promised to retract all he had said, and the diplomatic tribune was crowded yesterday in the Chamber of Deputies, in order that the members of that body might hear for themselves that the retractation was complete. ' Nothing could possibly be more so, for the Duke even applauded the Czar, and defended the treaty between Russia and the Porte as very insignifi- qant and harmless. It appears, then, that when the Duke de Broglie gave his approba- tion the most general and precise to the speech of M. Bignon, that this meant he did not approve it at all; that when he adhered without restriction to the views of M. Bignon, that this meant he held opi- nions quite opposed to the foreign policy of the country. That • which De Broglie adopted in tile speech of M. Bignon, now turns out to have been merely the passive portion of his system— a mere recognition of right to innocent protestation. But what does this mean ? are we to be deceived by sucli stuff as this ? If the recogni- tion and the protestation are ineffectual, what then? Take the case of Poland. France has protested! England has protested! Neither are listended to. What next? Does M. de Broglie mean to say that he will stop there ? No, lie dare not say so— for if he did, out of 45!) members not 59 would vote with him. " Notwithstanding, then, the eating up of his own words yesterday to please the Ambassadors, the foreign policy of the French Government is at least a warlike and aggressive policy. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS ( YESTERDAY)— In consequence of the se- rious indisposition of Mr. Const, Mr. Rawlinson presided in his stead. Thomas Lavender, Robert Poulter, William Cameron, John Jones, Thomas West, Robert Croft, James Davis, and William Ashton, stood indicted for a nuisance, in keeping a gaming- house in Pickering- place. This was the house in which toe lady, disguised in male attire, lost so much money; and this prosecution was in consequence instituted by the palish. Ofthe parties, Lavender alone has been apprehended and held to bail. On the case being called on, Mr. Alley applied that it might be put off till next Session, on the ground that his client, Lavender, had been arrested last night, and was now in the custody of the Sheriff of Middlesex. Mr. Adol phus said the defendant had certainly succeeded in outjockeying them. As he was sworn to be in custody, and they had no hat teas to bring him here, he could not resist the application; at the same time he could not help saying that he had no doubt he would be at large within an hour after it was granted. They all knew the tricks of gaming- house keepers. Mr. Alley— Indeed I know nothing of their tricks; but this I know that no efforts are spared to extort money from them. rI he application was granted, subject to the condition that the expenses of the day be paid by the defendant within a week, or in default the recognizances estreated. Yesterday being the first day of Hilary Term the Judges and King's Counsel, according to ancient custom, breakfasted together in Lincoln's Inn Hall, previously to opening their respective Courts. There are accounts in town from Swan River to a late date. A native hail been shot, pursuant to his sentence. The Home Govern- ment had acceded to the wish of the colonists, and allowed to the first settlers who had improved their locations the fee simple upon all their grants. HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.— On Tuesdav, Mr. Lycester, who held a very large farm at Dinnington, left the Black Swan Inn, in this town, in company with a Mr. Pease, of Worksop. They were both on horseback, and agreed upon a race on their way home. During the contest, and just when they reached the turn out of the Rotherham into the Worksop road, the former gentleman was thrown from his horse with such violence against the shutters of a house, as to cut off the upper part of the skull, which only remained attached by a small portion of skin. Death was the immediate consequence.— Sheffield Courant. \ ALGIERS.— At a meeting of the African Commission held on Mon- day, some doubts were at first entertained as to the advantages of retaining Algiers, but the powerful arjpiments and representations of one ofthe members overruled all the objections, and at length led to a decision in the affirmative ; in which, in the evening, the President of the Council expressed his full and absolute concurrence.— Gnlig 9ia? ii's Messenger. Lloyd's book records many more sad losses at sea. Three East India vessels have suffered most considerably during the past gales, and their cargoes have received much damage.
