FURNITURE.— The great increase of business since the Pro- prietor discontinued the principle of selling Furniture on commission, has again induced him to extend this department.

EAU DE COLOGNE.— J. and E. ATKINSON, Perfumers, re- spectfully caution the Public against the deception generally practised of substituting an article . made in this country as Eau de Cologne. It has nothing of the original but the name and Outward appearance, and being made of strong alcohol, mixed with Prussic acid and hot essential oils, is extremely dangerous when used medicinally. The genuine Eau de Cologne owes its fine perfume and medicinal properties to the grape spirit, from which it is distilled, with herbs indigenous to the borders of the Rhine.— J. and E.

The King's Concert Rooms, Hanover- square, were on Wednesday evening attended by a large and brilliant audience to hear two new pieces of music composed by Mr. G. Perry, a gentleman who, we believe, until recently resided at Norwich, and for a considerable time took a leading part in the musical entertainments of that city. The compositions were an oratorio and cantata, and respectively entitled J'/ ie Fall of Jerusalem and Belshazzar's Feast. Many passages in the cantata supply evident proof of Mr. Perry's intimate acquaintance with the Masses and other sacred writings of Haydn and Mozart, and also with the dramatic works of Rossini, Auber, & c. The principal singers were Mrs. Bishop, Mrs. Seguin, Messrs. Robinson, Horncastle, Leoni Lee, and Parry, jun. The band, led by Mr. Francis Cramer and Mr. H. Blagrove, was excellent ; and the chorus, under the direction ol Mr. J. Surman, was equally worthy of commendation. Mr. Perry conducted, and upon the whole the per- formances were highly creditable to him. Great preparations are making at the Adelphi Theatre for the new Lent entertainments; Mrs. Fitzwilliam is engaged, and will appear m a new monopologue written by Buckstone. FRANCE AND AMERICA.— The packet ship St. James, which sailed from New York on the 20th ult. supplies us with the American President's Message to Congress on the subject of the dispute with France. In this Message General Jackson recommends the shutting of the ports of the Union against French vessels, and the prohibition of French manufactures. A s for any retraction of his former lan- guage, which had been required by the French as a salvo to their national vanity, before the money in dispute should be paid, the President rejects it with marked scorn. After saying that he has already officially disavowed all intention of appealing to the fears, rather than to the justice of France, he asks, " Does France want a degrading, servile, repetition of this act, in terms which she shall dictate, and which will involve an acknowledgment of her right to interfere m our domestic concerns? She will never obtain it. The spirit of the American people, the dignity of the legislature, and the firm resolve of their executive government, forbid it." He denounces as unworthy of a great nation, and insulting to America, the under- hand diplomacy of the French Government, to obtain an apologv by trick. He alludes to the naval preparations of France, and calls for large and speedy appropriations of revenue for the increase of the navy, and the completion of the coast defences, in case it should happen that these demonstrations should be directed against the States. On the whole the tone of the Message is that of hostility and defiance. " Come what may," says the President, the explanations which France demands can never be accorded; and no armament, however powerful and imposing at a distance, or on our coast, will, I trust, deter us from discharging the high duties we owe to our constituents, our national character, and to the world." .1 he mediation of Great Britain will in all probability prevent a war. NAPLES SOAP.— J. and E. Atkinson, perfumers, beg respectfullv to recommend to gentlemen who use Naples Soap, a very choice article ost imported, perfumed with the flowers of the rose, and will be sold ai a very small advance on the usual prices. They have also some equally tine perfumed a 1' Orange, au Cedrat, and various other periumes. As Naples soap, when fine and genuine, is beyond com- parison the best of all articles for shaving, they can with confidence recommend that which they import, it being procured from the best manufacturer in Naples, without limit to price.— N.

Lord DCNCANNON, in moving the re- appointment of the Com- mittee on the new Houses of Parliament, stated that four plans had been selected, and that the Commissioners would shortly be in a business of the Court of Chancery, preparatory to the introduction of measures for remedying the evils that exist in that Court.— Adjourned. TUESDAY. A conference with the Commons was agreed to, on the subject of printing the Parliamentary Journals. The Duke of CLEVELAND and Mr. HUME respectively conducted the conference on the part of the two Houses. The Earl of WINCHILSEA moved for a return of the various Com- missions of Inquiry that had passed the Great. Seal. On the motion of the Marquess of SALISBURY, and after some dis- cussion, a return was ordered of all persons who had been appointed on the Commission of the Peace since January, 1835, without pre- vious application to the Lord Lieutenant or Custos Rotulorum of their county.— Adjourned. WEDNESDAY. A few petitions were presented, and the report on the Capital Punishments Amendment Bill was received, after which their Lord- ships adjourned. THURSDAY. The Earl of RODEN put the_ question to Ministers, whether they were now prepared to supply him with the " information for which he had applied last Session, with respect to the application of the sums voted at the recommendation of the Commissioners on Education in Ireland ? The return he wanted to see was one which would have shown the numberof children attending the national schools in Ire- land, distinguishing the religion of each. This was, he conceived, a most, valuable return, which would support him greatly in his belief that the system of religious education adopted never could be satis- factory to " the feelings or to the principles of the Protestant popula- tion of that country.— The Marquess of LANSDOWNE rep lied, in substance, that the return could not be produced, because the Government was not possessed of it, the Commissioners not having deemed it necessary or expedient to prepare any such document. — The Bishop of EXETER contended that the documents were absolutely necessary to enable the Parliament to judge of the sound- ness of the conclusions and the propriety of the recommendations on which the Government had resolved to act.— After some further dis- cussion, in which Lords PLUNKET, CLONCURRY, andMELBOURNE took parts, the discussion terminated with an expression of dissatisfaction on the part of the Earl of RODEN at the continued refusal of the Government to afford the information for which he had asked. FRIDAY. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY, after a speech in which he took a review of the conduct of this Government with respect to the affairs of Spain, and strongly disapproved of the course which his Majesty's Ministers had taken, concluded by moving for returns of all the war- like stores, clothing, accoutrements, Congreve rockets, and artillery sent out from this country for the use of the Queen of Spain; also for an account of the naval stores forwarded for the same purpose, together with their value, and the names, rank, and numbers of all the Officers on half- pay in this country now in the service of the Queen of Spain.— Lord MELBOURNE did not object to the motion, but entered into a defence of the Government, which had acted, as he maintained, in conformity with the engagements of treaties, and upon the principles recognised by the Duke of Wellington.— His Lordship was answered by the Earl of ABERDEEN, who distinctly stated that the Noble Duke, finding tile treaty ratified and in force on his accession to office, had no alternative but to follow out the provisions of it; but that his Grace totally disapproved of the policy on which it was founded.— The motion was agreed to. The LORD CHANCELLOR subsequently brought in a Bill to alter and amend the proceedings in the various Ecclesiastical Courts, and to consolidate those Courts themselves.— Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY Lord JOHN RUSSELL declined giving a general answer to a question as to the measures of Church Reform contemplated by Government, but said that the subject of pluralities and non- residence would certainly be included in them. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then brought forward his motion for a Select Committee to inquire into agricultural distress. His Lordship alluded to the general desire that existed for inquiry, and to the wish expressed in many quarters that the question of the currency should be mixed up with the investigation. On the latter pointhe expressed very strongly the opinion of his cblleagues and himself, that no change ought to be made; but he was disposed, nevertheless, to leave the Committee perfectly unfettered as to the course of inquiry they might think it advisable to pursue. His Lordship was disposed to think that Parliament would be unable to afford the relief required. — The Marquess of CHANDOS expressed himself satisfied that the Committee was not to be bound down by any restrictions ; but could by no means agree with the Noble Lord that Parliament would not be able to devise some plan of relief to the agriculturists.— Sir ROBERT PEEL rose, and after stating that he was not very sanguine of any good result from the labours of the Committee, expressed his hope that they would direct their attention to the practical part of the subject referred to them, rather than wander into the consideration of theories.— Sir CHARLES BURRELL, Colonel WODEHOUSE ( who was happy to think the Committee would have an opportunity of ascer- taining the practical effect of the gold standard), and other Hon. Members folowed. After a discussion of some length a Committee was appointed, consisting of the following Members:— Lord J. Russell, Sir R. Peel, Sir J. Graham, Mr. S. Lefevre, Marquess of Chandos, Mr. Cavley Mr. G. Heathcote, Mr. A. Sandford, Mr. E. Denison, Sir E. Knatchbull, Lord Stanley, Mr. W. Miles, Earl of Lincoln, Mr. C. A. Pelham, Sir R. Price, Mr. R. Clive, Lord Francis Egerton, Sir W. Moleswortli, Lord Howick, Mr. G. Evans, Mr. Cooper, Mr. W. Gordon, Mr. S. Herbert, Mr. Bingham Baring, Mr. P. Thomson, Mr. Ord, Mr. Clay, Mr. Handley, Mr. Morrison, Mr. J. Loch, Mr. Dunlop, Mr. Young, Mr. M. Attwood, and the O'Connor Don. Leave was given to the ATTORNEY- GENERAL to bring in a Bill to amend the Municipal Corporations' Act.— Mr. Fox MAULE then obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the consolidation of turnpike trusts throughout England ; and Mr. HUME for one to regulate the expenses at elections.— Some conversation ensued on another motion, by the latter Honourable Member, for a Bill to vest the manage- ment of all lighthouses in England in the Trinity House. Leave was at length given to bring ill the Bill, after the' expression of a very general desire that it should not interfere with the pensions hitherto granted to aged and distressed seamen by the Corporation of the Trinity House.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER obtained leave to bring ma Bill for the amendment of the West India Compensation Bill. TUESDAY. Lord J. RUSSELL moved for leave to bring in a Bill for the Com- mutation of Tithes in England and Wales. His Lordship did not go into very minute details of his plan; he avowedly left them to be collected from the Bill: the leading outlines, however, were, that in the first instance there should be a Board formed, to consist of three persons, two to be named by the King, and one by the Archbishop of Canterbury; that such Board should have opportunity to nominate Sub- Commissioners to act in different parts of the country; and that they should hear and determine the commutations, subject, of course, to the revision of the superior Board. That all parties should have the opportunity of effecting voluntary commutations, by each repre- senting the case before the Commissioners ; but that if they did not voluntarily adjust the commutation, then the Commissioners should have the power of compelling a commutation, and deciding the amount of it. To ascertain what ought to be the amount of the com- mutation, an average to be taken of the tithes for the last seven years ; and 75 per cent, of that average to be the maximum of amount to be fixed upon as the rate of perpetual commutation. It being notorious that many Clergymen have for years received much less tithe than they ought to have received ; and there should be power in those cases to ascertain what ought to have been received, and then to fix the amount at not lower than 60 per cent., nor above 75 per cent. The amount of tithe- commutation to be ascertained in consequence of this Bill not to continue to be paid as now, but to be in the nature of a rent- charge, and to be payable by the landlord. His Lordship made some exceptions regarding new hop grounds, & c., which after- wards called forth some inquiries from Mr. Hume and others— in reply to which, his Lordship was understood to say that those grounds should not be liable to more than 15s. an acre charge, over and above what they would pay as corn lands.— Sir R, INGLIS considered the measure to be of a most injurious tendency, and that eventually it must very materially affect the revenues of the Church.— Sir ROBERT PEEL considered it as virtually a plagiarism ofhis Bill of last session, though differing from it in one material point. The Right Hon- Baronet had been anxious to offer every inducement to voluntary commutation, whereas Lord John Russell only proposed to allow six months for that purpose, and then to proceed at once to compulsory adjustment. This period Sir Robert thought^ not sufficient to afford a well- grounded experience of the working of the voluntary system.— Leave was given to bring in the Bill. WEDNESDAY. Several petitions for private Bills, and a few upon matters of a public nature were presented.— The sum of 2( 1,520,5501. was voted in Supply to pav off outstanding Exchequer Bills.— On the motion of Mr. EWART the Committee on arts and manufactures wasnominated after some discussion, in the couwe of which, the impartiality of his selection was questioned and defended.— Adj. THURSDAY. Colonel BRUEN presented a petition from certain electors of the county of Carlow, praying for inquiry into the circumstances con- nected with the election of Messrs. Raphael and Vigors.— Mr. O'CONNELL declared himself ready to second the motion for a Com- mittee to inquire into his conduct. Haying supported inquiry in the case of other persons, he would not resist it in his own. He com- plained ot the endeavour to wound his feelings by introducing the name ofhis son, John O'Connell, the Member for Youghall, into the petition, and appealed to those who had Sat with him on the Committee, to say whether he had not done his duty as an inde- pendent Member. He also complained that he had not been furnished with a copy of the petition. Mr. HARDY- presented a petition from Bath, to the same effect as the petition from Carlow, and disclaimed any intention of treating the Hon. and Learned Member with discourtesy, in having neglected to furnish him with a copy of the petition.— After considerable dis- cussion it was proposed that they should postpone further debate till Monday, and that in the mean time the petitions should be printed. Mr. O'CONNELL and others proposed that Tuesday should be named. — Lord STANLEY ( considering that Mr. O'Connell had made a per- sonal allusion to him, which, however, Mr. O'Connell afterwards denied), expressed his astonishment that Mr. O'Connell could con- sent to, or desire any delay of the consideration of such serious charges. He should have thought that there would have been resistance from such quarter of every hour's delay that was not absolutely unavoidable. Not knowing what use was to be made of the delay, he knew not how it could be sanctioned.— Lord HOWICK and others spoke, when the business was postponed.— Mr. HARDY'S motion for the Committee of Inquiry thus stands deferred till Tuesday. Permission was given to Captain PECHELL to bring in a Bill to . protect the British Fisheries, after the Gallant Member had very forcibly represented the aggressions exercised by French vessels, in our own seas, upon our own fishermen.— The other business was un- important, and the House adjourned at nine o'clock. FRIDAY. Several Bills for the construction of railroads were read a first time A long conversation took place in the course of the evening upon a motion of Mr. D. W. HARVEY, on the subject of Bills introduced into the House for the construction of railroads. The Hon. Gentleman ultimately withdrew his motion. Mr. CRAWFORD, Member for Lon- don, Mr. RIDLEY COLBORNE, Sir R. PEEL, and many other Members, took part in the conversation; and, though taking different views with respect to the general advantages of these new Companies, all agreed in deprecating the gross delusion and wild speculation that were prevalent on the subject at the present moment. Mr. HUME moved for a return of the names of Officers dismissed from the army since the peace, without having been brought to a Court- Martial; but, Lord HOWICK having represented the violation of private feelings that must follow the publication of the names of individuals so situated, Mr. HUME altered his motion, and, the word " numbers " having been substituted for " names," it was ac- ceded to. Lord J. RUSSELL then moved for leave to bring in two Bills; one for the establishment of a general registration of births, marriages and deaths ; and the other on the subject of the celebration of mar- riages, with a view to satisfy the prejudices of the Dissenters. As t the registration, he did not go into full details— he left them to the Bill; but on the subject of the marriage ceremony, he proposed that there should be no alteration regarding those who were connected with the Established Church— that Dissenters should have the op portunity of being married in their own places of worship ; and that as to those who viewed marriage as a civil contract, they could be' married after entering their names for a certain nnmber of days in a prescribed register, to be certified by certificate. The Bill would provide for a general registration of marriages. As to burials, he had no plan at present on the subject, but he hoped to produce a measure that would give general satisfaction, and enable Dissenters to have their deceased brethren buried in the grounds attached to their own chapels. With respect to degrees at Universities, there was no prospect of getting Oxford or Cambridge to concede degrees to Dissenters ; but the Chancellor of the Exchequer was preparing a Bill for a University that would concede degrees, and which it was hoped would remove the complaints of Dissenters.— Sir R. PEEL said if the Dissenters were satisfied he should not complain ; but if this Bill gave satisfaction, then he should be astonished that his measure had not been approved.— After a short discussion, leave was given to bring in the Bill.— Adjourned. We have another dreadful rail- road accident to record. Indeed, whether to workmen or passengers, whether in progress or in full traffic, scarcely a day elapses without some most revolting result from the unnatural and ruinous principle of rail- roads. The follow- ing occurred. Yesterday morning a shocking accident occurred at the Shaft, No. 4, of the London and Birmingham Railroad, in the tunnel on the north side of Primrose- hill. One of the men employed, named DAVID SOUTH, was in the act of stepping from off the forepart of one of the carts used in removing the excavated soil, and which had just been loaded, when his foot slipped, and he fell under one of the wheels at the instant the horse was started forward, and before the unfortunate man could scramble off the frame of the rail- road, or any of his fellow workmen render him any assistance, the wheel, which had jammed the limb against one of the iron courses on which the cars run, passed up the leg from the ankle to the hip- joint, and then transversely across a portion of his body. The poor fellow was taken un in a dreadfully injured state, and was conveyed on a litter to the North London Hospital; the ankle joint was found to be crushed in a very shocking and dreadful manner, and the thigh was extensively splintered; he had also received some internal injury. Hopes are, however, entertained ofhis recovery. We are glad to find that the projectors, or rather the dupes of the proprietors of these most odious gigantic follies are beginning to open their eyes. We see that the Directors of the Birmingham, Dudley, and Wblverhampton railway, have deemed it expedient to postpone their application to Parliament until next Session, when they expect that they will be enabled to introduce such a measure as will1 meet with the support of many of the present opponents The shareholders of the Gloucester Leehampton and Gloucester rail- road have done better than even this— they seem to have made a capital beginning— they have entered into arrangements for trans- ferring their rights and interests therein to the Cheltenham, Glouces- ter, and Great Western Union Railway Company, for the sum of 30,000/.; subject of course, to the contingency of the Bill for the formation of the Union Railway obtaining the sanction of Parliament The rage for Commissions is so great, that the conservency of the river Thames is to be transferred to Commissioners from the LORD MAYOR. Perhaps they are afraid that the next Lord Mayor may- set it on fire. We see, by an advertisement in our paper of to- day, that Captain MARSHALL, - the late popular Master of the Ceremonies at Chelten- ham, proposes giving a series of Balls, at the Hanover- square Rooms, under the sanction of Patronesses of high rank. We be- lieve the plan was eminently successful last year, and have no doubt it will prove, equally so on a second trial.

BURGESS'S NEW SAUCE for general purposes having gained such sreat approbation, and the demand for it continuing to increase. JOHN BURGESS and SON beg most respectfully to ofifer thus their best acknow- ledgments to the Public for their liberal patronage of the same; its utility and great convenience in all climates have recommended it to the most distinguished foreign connexions, who have all spoken highly in its recommendation. It is pre- pared by them only; and for preventing disappointment to families, all possible care has been resorted to, by each bottle being sealed on the cork with their firm and address, as well as each label having their signature, without which it cannot be genuine.

COLLINS'S CORDIAL CEPHALIC SNUFF fully maintains its long- established reputation for the relief and cure of Disorders of the Head and Eyes. It dispels the common Headache, and is of singular utility in cases of Deafness: removes stoppages of he head, dimness of the eyes, giddiness, and drowsiness, and revives the spirits, tt is also a preservative against infectious vapours.— A most striking instance of cure of a Gentleman has recently been communicated to the Proprieters. The letter as sent by him is now printed in the directions.— Sold in canisters, price Is. lj^ d. each, by the joint Proprietors, Newbery and Sons, 45, St. Paul's Church- yard, London; and at the Printing Office, Canal, Salisbury. Sold also by all re- spectable venders of public medicines.— Be particular to ask for " Collins's Cepha- lic Snuff," and observe that the words " F. Newbery, 45, St. Paul's Church- yard," are engraved on the Stamp. CJELWAY'S PREPARED ESSENCE of SENNA.— The obvious and acknowledged utility of the Infusion Senna as a domestic Purgative renders any further recommendation unnecessary: at the same time it must be confessed, that considerable inconvenience attends the form in which it is Hsually prepared, and if not immediately used, is liable to undergo a chemical change, by which it not only loses its purgative quality, but acquires that of an opposite tendency, and is in consequence found to excite violent griping of the bowels.— In this preparation, the Senna is so combined, that the usual inconveni- ence is at once obviated, for it will be found to undergo no change whatever by keeping, and require no other preparation for immediate use than simple dilution with cold or warm water, or if preferred tea or coffee may be substituted. The increased use of Senna since the first introduction of the above induces the present Proprietor to make it more generally known.— Prepared only by Simkin, late Selway, Chemist to his Majesty, 2, New Cavendish- street, Portland place. Sold by him, and by Sanger, 150, Oxford- street; Willoughby and Co., 61, Bishops- gate Without; Winstanley and Son, Poultry ; and all respectable Patent Medi- cine Venders, in bottles at Is. 9d.. 3s. 6d., and 7s. each, ana upwards.

W THE KINGS ROYAL LETTERS PARENT.— The ECONOMICAL LAMPS.— The Patentee is anxious that the merit of these Lamps should be known to Ladies and Gentlemen, passengers to the East and West Indies, and other distant parts of the globe. Nothing can compete with them as lights for cabins, berths, passages, and all uses on board ship. They embrace, with perfect safety and the closest economy, brilliancy, sweetness, truly simple, and require replenishing with cotton only once during a long voyage, and continuance of light without trimming forty- eight hours if required. What renders them more valuable is, they perform admirably with cocoa- nut oil. Sold by the Patentee, T.

RUPTURES.— The PATENT SELF- ADJUSTING GER- MAN TRUSS, acting effectually without pressure or any complication, is recommended by the Faculty for the Cure and Relief of Hernia. The first mem- bers of the profession are convinced that pressure is not the merit of a good Truss, but a mechanical Resisting power, which cannot be applied to any Truss where straps are used, and that have a pad behind, or where spiral springs and other complications are introduced. J. EGG and CO., the inventors, engage to cure any reducible Rupture, if left to their management.— Manufactory, No. 1, Piccadilly. THE TRUE " I) R. STEER'S OPODELDOC," from its pene- trating quality, is found decidedly superior to any other external applica- tion in promoting the natural circulation when in a torpid state, arising from cold or other causes, and in giving vigour to the parts affected. When promply and copiously rubbed in, it cures Rheumatism, Chilblains, the Cramp, Sprains and Bruises, & c. If dissolved, and applied on the first appearance of Chil- blains, it prevents their breaking. The general use of this valuable Remedv has induced many persons to sell spurious imitations of it, which are without effect. That only is genuine which has the name " F.

JOHM BULL. LONDON, FEBRUARY 14. THEIR MAJESTIES have returned to Brighton, and are not expected in town before the 22d instant. The Earl of ERROL has left London unexpectedly, after having made himself rather remarkable by cordially shaking hands with Mr. O'CONNELL below the bar of the House of Commons. IT is with infinite pleasure we are able to contradict, in the most distinct and unequivocal manner, the ridiculous stories put into circulation by the Ministerial Press, of a coolness or misunderstanding between the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir ROBERT PEEL. The most perfect cordiality exists be- tween those eminent persons ; and we are happy to add, that his Grace is enjoying the sports of the field with the greatest ardour and energy, and in the best possible health. MR. HARDY on Thursday brought forward his promised motion for an investigation into the transactions connected with the last Carlow Election, and if the badness of a man's cause is to be calculated relatively to his utter recklessness, Mr. O'CONNELL'S case must be indeed desperate. Those, however, who have been completely informed upon every circumstance of the case, as explained in the correspond- ence which has been for months before the public, will scarcely imagine the course Mr. O'CONNELL took for the immediate purification of his character, and the triumphant destruction of the allegations so distinctly made against him. It might naturally be imagined that he cried aloud for justice, aud pressed the inquiry, the result of which is either to leave him where he is, or sink him in a fathomless pit of disgrace— Not he: he cried aloud— and blustered, and whined, and laughed, and wept— but all these antics, each in its way most edifying, were played oft' in order to obtain a delay of the inquiry until Tuesday. For what?— As everybody who reads a newspaper knows all the circumstances of the case as published, Mr. O'CON- IVELL is in all probability as well informed of them as he will be next Tuesday; and if time be necessary to refute and overthrow the charge made against him, he might have devoted some of the many hours he has appropriated to poli- tical literature to the getting up of his case, which he knew would be brought forward iu the House of Commons imme- diately after the meeting. Mr. O'CONNELL makes a noise and a whining about his virtuous son JOHN, and implies that the introduction of his name in the affair gives a new turn to it. Mr. O'CONNELL has known, ever since Mr. RAPHAEL so justly and manfully exposed the trick which had been played upon him, that his son JOHN'S name would be mixed up iu it, and come under discussion equally with his own. This new light, therefore, requires no additional procrastination. One thing Mr. O'CONNELL says, which seems to have some- thing like justice in it— but it has not. He says, " If my son JOHN was an exceptionable person in the Committee, why was he not struck off?" It may be necessary to observe that an Election Committee is thus formed: thirty- three names are drawn, and of these, eleven are stricken off by the petitioner, and another eleven by the petitioned- against, and so the list is reduced to eleven, who form the Committee. Mr. O'CONNELL says, that the Conservatives finding them- selves so strong in the ballot that nothing could affect them, kept his son JOHN'S name 011 in order to make a show of impartiality. If that were the case, why did not Mr. O'CONNELL, who was present, and most actively engaged in marking off the names struck off, deprive the Conservatives of the advantages of their hypocrisy, by striking off his son JOHN'S name himself? We say he, because his activity upon the occasion was remarkable; nor did it cease with the im- mediate proceedings, for when he left the Ilonse, after they were over, he might have been heard to the remotest corner, rating the two BELLEWS, in his warmest manner, for not having come down in time for the ballot. The grievance, therefore, of keeping his son JOHN on the Committee, is 110 grievance at all; and even if it were, it would not require any additional period of investigation now. It was because Mr. O'CONNELL still hopes, by the aid of certain gallant and assiduous friends, to complete his delusions of Mr. RAPHAEL, by bringing about a reconciliation, and thus stifling the letters yet unpublished, that he asks for delay in a case, the immediate decision of which in his favour is vitally essential to his political existence. Mr. RAPHAEL has, in the fairest and most honourable man- ner, abstained from publishing a letter which he even yet con- siders confidential, until released by Mr. O'CONNELL from his implied pledge of secresy. To this appeal Mr. O'CONNELL has no more replied than he has to Mr. ENEAS MACDONNELL'S letter of the 23d of January. Mr. RAPHAEL, in entering into the negociation with Mr. O'CONNELL, did nothing which is not excusable in a man not familiar with the usages of Parliament, led on by an old Parliamentary stager and cunning lawyer; and Mr. " RAPHAEL has redeemed his error by defying the malice and malignity of his deceiver, and established his character as a man of honour, by withholding a document, which must either brand that deceiver as an'impudent im- jostor professing to have the disposal of honours and titles at lis command, without the power, or exhibit the Ministry to the country as the willing supporters of a man they had denounced from the Throne, in his wholesale efforts in the corruption of the purity of election. These considerations have operated upon Mr. RAPHAEL'S mind; but the compact which bound him is now dissolved. It becomes his duty to the Ministry to give them an oppor- tunity of vindicating themselves from the libellous allegations of the man, who boasts that he is their master— a fact less dis- putable, since we heard the animated shouts of Sir JOHN CAM IIOBHOUSE during Mr. O'CONNELL'S speech on Thursday, the 11th of February, 1S36, which, if he had made on the 11th of February, 1S34, the said Sir HOBHOUSE would have hooted and yelled at. Wc remember hearing Mr. O'CONNELL say, in the debate last year upon the Ipswich election, this—" Justice is not in this instance to be defeated ; bribery and corruption, such as were practised in the most rampant days of ancient Toyrism, have been revived, and ought to be subjected to condign punish- ment. We know how money has been sent, and if the present matter were sifted to the bottom, we should find more yet than the public has knowledge of— and I trust it will be so sifted, although some may find it convenient to mystify the case at the beginning, and prevent its being fully examined. I CALL ON HONOURABLE MEMBERS TO DO THEIR DUTY TO GOD AND THEIR COUNTRY ON THIS SUBJECT, AND TO DIS- COUNTENANCE THAT BRIBERY WHICH MANY MEN MAY BE GUILTY OF, BUT WHICH NONE BUT THE MEN OF IPSWICH CAN BE FOUND TO CALL HONOURABLE AND JUDICIOUS." .-. JY So said Mr. O'CONNELL, last year— so say we, this year. The speech of Lord STANLEY, which was heard with mute attention by a house of five hundred Members, was one of the finest pieces of Parliamentary oratory ever delivered— from its withering effects Mr. O'CONXF. LL will perhaps be suffi- ciently recovered to proceed on Tuesday; but as we have reason to believe that every expedient and evasion will be resorted to, to defeat the ends of justice, we beg most ear- nestly to impress upon the minds of the Conservative Mem- bers the absolute necessity of an EARLY and CONSTANT attendance on that day. MR. SPRING RICE told MR. ROBINSON, in the House of Commons, that the balance of the grant to the King of the BELGIANS had been transferred to the public credit— but Mr. SPRING RICE did not take the trouble to say how much the amount of the balance was. Quere— Is it 11. Is. 10| d. ? LORD JOHN RUSSELL— and we are really ashamed to own that the country is in such a state as to render the fact pos- sible— brought forward on Tuesday a Bill for the Commuta- tion of Tithes in England and Wales. When we say we are ashamed to own this to be the case, it is not because the indi- vidual in question lives and breathes upon Church property, for which he ought t'O feel a devout reverence and an inherent conservative principle, but because it is lamentable to see that such a person as the author of Don Carlos, the reviver of Sir CHARLES HANBURY WILLIAMS'S beastly trash, and the perpetrator of many similar nuisances, great and small, should, by the grace of Popei- y and O'CONNELL, have the power to bring forward anything in the House of Commons, as holding the responsible situation of a Minister of the Crown. Lord JOHN admitted that the machinery of the Bill was borrowed from Sir ROBERT PEEL— what, borrowing without leave of the original owner is, we leave to the Radical sup- porters of his Lordship to decide; but that the borrowing has been conducted on the most liberal scale, anybody who will take the trouble to compare it with Sir ROBERT'S speech of last year will see. The first proposition of the measure, is— as usual with the paupers— the formation of a Board of Commissioners, the majority of whom are to be named by the Minister, and one by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY. These worthies are to have— like the Poor Law Commissioners— their three and two thousand pounds per annum each : with the same power as the Poor Law Commissioners, of appointing Assistant- Commissioners. What this means, a reference to the London Gazette of the appointments of Assistant Poor Law Commis- sioners, will sufficiently show. The only difference between Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Bill and that of Lord JOHN RUSSELL is, that the one would have been calculated to save as much to the Church and the tithe- owner as Conservative liberality would permit. Lord JOHN'S pro- position is, to do as much to rob the tithe- owner as pos- sible ; nobody could exactly comprehend the little man's meaning, because it was quite evident on Tuesday that he did nof understand himself, although, animally speaking, he understands almost everybody else. From what we could gather, it Would appear that the prin- ciple of the commutation is to reduce tithes to a fluctuating rent- charge relatively to the prices of wheat, barley, and oats, in equal proportions. Then comes a proviso that a land- owner may agree for a commutation with the tithe- owner, and when the land is lease- hold, and the landlord has made an agreement with the tithe- owner, the landlord may take his place, and be considered tithe- owner for the purposes of this Bill. The fact is, that with the exception of the borrowed ma- chinery, the thing is a mass of confusion, out of which, all we could collect was, that if the tithe- owner had his right, he would have a hundred pounds: by Lord JOHN'S Bill, he would have at the utmost seventy- five, and in most cases sixty. This blunderheaded plan of robbery, which the little man announced with as much mawkish, maudlin self- satisfaction as if he were doing the most upright straightforward thing in the world, was not lost upon certain persons in the House. Up got one Honourable Member and proclaimed his satisfaction at what he had heard. " It was giving the landlord," said he, " a bonus of twenty- five per cent, out of the property of the Church," which ( without, we presume, recollecting how the family of RUSSELL exists) he considered public property, " and iu many cases even as much as forty per cent. It was making the class of land- owners friendly adherents instead of adver- saries to the Government," & c. This, we confess, sounded to us strange language for the House of Commons. What! the landlord has a right to twenty shillings an acre, and the tithe- owner to five, and you propose to give the landlord nearly half the tithe- owner's portion, and then hug yourselves with the consolation that you have made friends of those who pocket the difference. What renders this proposed system of wholesale robbery the worse, is, that the House of Commons is full of landlords, and the tithe- owners are excluded from seats in the House by the rascality of a Radical demagogue of modern date, and are un- able to raise a hand or a voice in behalf of themselves, or the Church of which they are Ministers. But surely there is some shadow of a pretext advanced for the spoliation. There is no blustering, swaggering demagogue in England to encourage or excite— for as yet there is none a resistance to tithes. What, then, is the excuse ? Hear it, believers in, and worshippers of, the present precious Ministry. " The Austrians, I am told, though they have 110 news- papers, stamped or unstamped, nothing of what my Learned Friend the Member for Dublin calls a peaceful agitation, yet have a great objection to pay tithes." Therefore, because the boors of Austria are extremely anxious to keep what is not their own, those who, if they exact their rights, have a full claim to the teuth of the produce of the land throughout England and Wales, are to be robbed, in most cases, of nearly half of what is justly their own, and of what affords them and their wives and families the means of existence, they being, as a class of proprietors, as a body, the most moderate, the most orderly, and the most exemplary in the State. Another Honourable Gentleman on the same side of the House exults in the proposition of the small Minister, with one qualification: he fears that the inferior Clergy would be so much impoverished by it, that the State would be obliged to provide for them, and so a waste of public money would be occasioned. So, that Honourable Gentleman entered his protest against my Lord's Bill in this particular respect, because the State might have to build poor- houses for the Clergy.— The gentleman to whom we allude was Mr. DANIEL W. HARVEY. The Bill, as described by its proposer, is in a state of such incongruity and confusion, that it requires few comments at present. It will come out, and then men may judge of it as they see it; in the mean time, we refer our readers to an able letter on the subject in another part of our paper, from the Rev. ARTHUR PERCEVAL, Rector of East Horsley, and one of his Majesty's Chaplains. In its progress, if it proceed far, we shall of course return to the subject. H. B., not the Baron BROUGHAM and VAUX, but the in- estimable personifier, sometimes adopts a hint for one of his graphic illustrations of British history— why should he not take DRYDEN for a theme ? That harmonious poet says— " See how he feeds the Iberian with delays To render us his timely friendship vain; And, while his secret soul on Flanders preys, He rocks the cradle of the Babe of Spain." This would do for a sketch of the noble middle- aged dandy — elderly Tory— juvenile Whig— the inimitable PALMERSTON, dressed in a mob cap, apron, petticoats, and ( of course) stays, thinking of the delights of Belgium, rocking Mrs. MUNOS'S dear little child, and soothing its slumbers with a lullaby by singing to it some of his Lordship's most lively contributions to the New Whig Guide. THE accounts of our miserable countrymen in Spain are most distressing. We have just seen a letter from Santander of the 4th of February. The men are without discipline, aud the Officers unable to maintain any, although the cat- o'nine- tails is iu constant requisition. Col. EVANS, possessing as he does the full proportion of the English soldier's inherent quality— courage, has evinced so complete a want of tact and judgment, that the men, shaken in their confidence, are debased into a coatless, shoeless, and generally shirtless, rabble— ill- fed, and worse paid, all their military clothing and accoutre- ments are gradually vanishing for the purchase of common necessaries of life, w hile the position of their officers is nearly as deplorable as their own; and to add to the melancholy- prospects before them, bills which they have drawn on England, probably on the faith of receiving their pay, are daily returned dishonoured, although in most instances their amounts do not exceed ten, fifteen, or twenty pounds— and then, in many instances, the victims of deception are dismissed the service for' ungentlemanly conduct. To carry on this system of misrule and mismanagement, Brevet Lieutenant- Colonel EVANS has five Brigadier- Generals under him, and a personal staff'of ten Aides- du- Camp. We recommend this tact to the notice of Mr. IIUME, as a case of needless expenditure. It is said that CORDOVA is out of favour with Mrs. MUNOS,, and that he is about to be superseded in his command by the- gentle- hearted MINA, and to be sent Ambassador to London. Other reports of a much more serious nature, implicating the British Legion, have reached us, but, as we are not certain of their accuracy, we shall abstain from mentioning them. We cannot congratulate Lord MELBOURNE upon the suc- cess of his reply to Lord LONDONDERRY. It had, however, the merit of variety and novelty in its statements, inasmuch as thev were entirely different from any others which have arrived from Spain since the departure of footpads and high- waymen from this country. THERE have occurred within the last few days two cases- in our law Courts in England and Ireland which certainly are without parallel during the last two centuries. We mean that in Dublin iu which the Solicitor- General, on the part of the Crown, appeared to resist an application for an attachment against a Major MILLER and a man of the name of MALONE,. for not doing their duty in aiding the Commissioners appointed under a commission of rebellion, iu the execution of a writ tor- tile recovery of tithe. Against this application for an attachment, the King's So- licitor- General appears, and pleads with all his ell quence and all the weight of his official authority. Would we had room for a report of the proceedings in this case, and the speeches delivered by the Learned Judges on deciding against the Government, which supported its own Magistrate and consta- bles in a dereliction of duty, and sent its own Solicitor- General to plead their cause. The Government, however, was beaten— the honour, independence, and integrity of the Judges were triumphant, and the attachment was ordered against the crea- tures ofthe Castle, although, out of pity and compassion to the poor tools of the Ministry, it was ordered that it should not for the present issue. This trial should be printed and published, and read in every town and village in the empire, in order that the people might duly appreciate the real state of Whig Government. The Warder, speaking of this splendid display of judicial firmness in file teeth of mock- majesty, says :— The firm, dignified, and faithful conduct of the Court of Exchequer, relative to the attachment moved for against Major MILLER and Chief Constable MALONE, for contempt against the KING'S Commis- sion of Rebellion, is a sonrce of cheering hope to the Protestants of Ireland, under the grievous wrongs inflicted on them and their deeply suffering and exemplary Pastors. Thank GOD that we still have Judges determined to maintain the supremacy of the law and vindi- cate the KING'S authority against his Ministers. The arguments in the case and the decision of the Court will be found amply, and at one- view, detailed in our supplement sheet, and cannot fail of attracting thedeepestinterestandwarmestadmirationof ourreaders. They will see a case equal to any of the most iniquitous recorded of the Irish rule of JAMES the SECOND; a case, exhibiting the hideous anomaly of the administrators ofthe law instructing their executive instruments to disregard and nullify the salutary operation ofthe law! Let these men remain a little time m, ore in power, and we shall have J udges, January 24. ' JOHN BULL. 31 bad as the Rices, the Nagles, and the Nugents of former days, occu Vying our Judicial Benches, and acting upon the dicta of the Crown not to the pure and just construction and power of the laws. Equal to the infamy of those names in Irish history, will be the honour, esteem, and reverence which will ever be entertained by the great and good for the names of the Barons JOY, SMITH, and FOSTER. The other case is even more recent, and closer at hand— we mean the trial of certain Radical vestrymen of the parish I WE are indebted for the following beautiful lines to a highly of Marylebone, for interpolating the overseers' closed list of valued and accomplished correspondent who has frequently qualified voters, and inserting therein the names of forty- two before honoured our columns by her contributions :— Courts of Law also be made the theatre where democracy is ostenta- tiously to play its part, and is the prosecution of gross and proved fraud to be denounced by the KING'S servants as persecution for party purposes ? It is time for those who hate tyranny to look about them. vestrymen, who neither had qualifications nor even tendered themselves as having any. Let anybody read the eloquent, succinct, and powerful speech of Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, in that case tried on Tuesday; let him examine all its circum- stances ; the evidence given upon it, and the verdict as relates to some of the defendants, and then recollect that the counsel for these corrupters of elective independence, these destroyers of the purity of election, was neither more nor less than Lady STRATHEDEN'S husband, Sir JOHN CAMPBELL, the rejected of Dudley, the received of Edinburgh, who, as King's Attorney- General, presumes to libel those persons who, in the King's name, prosecuted the defendants, by epithets which no gentleman would use in decent society, and which, from Ills MAJESTY'S representative in his MAJESTY'S Court of King's Bench, sound particularly harsh when applied to gentlemen prosecuting/ or his MAJESTY, from whose advocacy his MAJESTY'S Attorney- General was abducted at the sacri- fice of an additional fee. The Post is upon this, so good, so clear, so strong, and so cogent, that to its forcible remarks we deliver over Lady STRATHEDEN'S major- domo. This, we repeat, is a fit pen- dant to the Irish case already quoted, and cannot fail to raise the integrity of the Government of both kingdoms in the esti- mation of eveiy just and honourable mind. The proceedings before the Court of King's Bench on Tuesday are fraught with no slight degree of public and political interest. On the occasion to which we refer six persons connected with the parish business of Marylebone were indicted for conspiring to put certain names upon the list of electors for the county of Middlesex, names representing individuals who had no colourable right to vote; and for causing these names to be put upon the lists without the know- ledge of the parish overseers, and after the overseers had made out and signed these lists. A more daring case of fraudulent subversion of the rights and regulations established by the Reform Act than that described and set forth in the indictment cannot be imagined. A more flagitious attempt to defeat the honest intentions ( for such we are bound to consider them) of those who framed the Reform Bill, and to substitute the machinations of petty fraud for the due exercise of political liberty, could not have appeared before a Court of Justice. Strange to say, the King's Attorney- General was the leading Counsel for the persons thus accused. We say it was strange. It was perhaps not at all wrong that a lawyer, though a Member of that Ministry which constantly appeals to the Reform Bill as an evidence of its talent and integrity, though the husband of a lady whom that Ministry has thought fit to honour with a coronet— it was perhaps not wrong that a lawyer so circumstanced should take money for de- fending the persons charged with so gross a violation of the Reform Bill— but it is a fact worthy of being noted as curious. It is one among the anomalies which hereafter will distinguish the history of this most anomalous period of time. But however remarkable this circumstance may seem in future times, a much more important matter as regards ourselves is the manner in which this servant of the Crown deported himself as coun- sel for those who were accused of so grave an offence against the KING and the public. As soon as the evidence for the prosecution had closed, and after Mr. COVENTRY, the Revising Barrister for the county, had himself deposed on oath that in his judgment the names had been improperly inserted on the list, and therefore had been, by his order, struck out— after this up gets the KING'S ATTORNEY- GENERAL, and passionately exclaims against such a matter having been made the subject of a prosecution at all. The first words of the speech attri- buted to him are thes " And so the case for the prosecution has closed, and we know not who are the prosecutors. Are we in an English Court of Justice? There is some assassin in the dark, who has got up this prosecution, and who is ashamed to show his face as prosecutor. I do not wonder at it. No Englishman dares avow himself the prosecutor of such an indictment. I never condemned— navI admire— political zeal; but such a perversion of the course of public justice as this is, for party purposes, I abhor." We beg leave to submit that the Lord of Lady STRATHEDEN greatly forgot himself when he used such words as these. To borrow his own form of expressions we will say that we never condemned— nay, that we admire, the zeal of an advocate— even a paid advocate— for his client, but such a perversion of the real state of the case as was condescended to in this speech, for the gratification of party feeling, we abhor. We need not remind the ATTORNEY- GENERAL, for no one knows it better than himself, that the prosecutor was the KING, his master, and that the defendants for whom he appeared were charged with offences against the KING, his Crown, and dignity. This was the offence technically. In a popular view the offence was against the public— it was a very gross violation of that which has been called the maxima charla of the liberties of Englishmen. The fact that such a violation had been attempted was proved beyond the shadow of doubt, before the ATTORNEY- GENERAL began to speak. What mattered it then who brought the investigation into Court ? What justification was there for applying such a description as " assassin in the dark" to the person who called for the legal investigation of so gross an offence, which, it was positively certain, that some one had committed. Of the six defendants, the first two were found guilty of the offence with which the indictment charged them. They were, then, guilty; and yet the KING'S ATTORNEY- GENERAL describes the agent for bringing them under the investigation of the Court and the judgment of the law as " an assassin in the dark." We must leave the propriety and the decency of such a charge to the estimation of our readers. It is a pity that Sir JOHN' CAMPBELL does not seek to emulate the fame of Sir EHWARD COKE in some other particular than that of his indecent virulence when ATTORNEY- GENERAL. We are of opinion that this trial, the circumstances attending it, and the result of it, must make a deep impression upon the public. We already see how the KING'S servants who are not restrained by the rules and responsibilities of Courts of Law, think fit to use the authority with which they are clothed. We see Magistrates ap- pointed on account of their notorious " liberality"— that is, disposi- tion to political agitation. We see men dismissed from situations under Government because they will not politically support Minis- ters, and Representatives compelled to resign their seats in Parlia- ment where they have voted according to their conscience, as a con- dition of being allowed to serve the Crown in the professional posi- tions to which they are entitled. We see the Secretary for the Home Department assuming the direct nomination of the county Magis- trates, which hitherto has been left in the hands of the local repre- sentatives of the Crown.

AN ENGLISHWOMAN. child- murders and suicides, all arising out of this detestable- measure, while the Gazette periodically announces the ap- pointment of pauper Whigs to Assistant Commissionerships, as a set- off, we suppose, to the ruinous consequences of the Bill to paupers who have no political feelings, or if they have, are not worth providing for. One grievance connected with this inhuman measure is noticed by the Cambridge Chronicle, whence we extract the following passage:— A petition was presented last Tuesday to the House of Lord » T complaining of a provision in the new Poor Law Bill, which materi- ally affects the relation between landlord and tenant, particularly where property is occupied under short leases, or by tenants at will- By sections 23 and 24 of that Bill, overseers are empowered, with the consent of the majority of the owners of property and the rate- payers entitled to vote, to borrow any sum, not exceeding the average yearly amount of the parish rates, for the purpose of building or enlarging the workhouse of the Union in which theparish is situated f the sum borrowed to be repaid within ten years. We need not point out to our readers how injuriously these clauses would work to ^ he- unfair advantage of the owner, and the grievous wrong of the occupier- The petition a'so asserted, that while the Poor Law Commissioners get the money from Government at two per cent., they lent it to the Unions at Jive per cent. As might have been expected, Lord MELBOURNE knew nothing either of the clauses in the Bill, or of the extraordinary proceedings to which they had given rise. He promised, however, an early attention to the subject. THE KING in his speech was made to say— and owing to the negligence or design of Ministers, who, as the jokers say, are determined to keep his MAJESTY in the dark upon all occasions, made to say, twice—- something extremely compli- mentary to the success of the Poor Laws. The provincial papers are full of outrages, of distresses, of WE wish to call the attention of the House of Commons to as neat a little job as ever Whig or Tory jobbed, which took place shortly after the separation of that Honourable House for the vacation. A Bill had passed through Parliament, authoris- ing the appointment of a new officer to the Court of Bankruptcy, to be called " THE ACCOUNTANT IN BANKUPTCY/' This was a Government measure, and supported by it in every shape and way, although Lord BROUGHAM liad over aud over again declared ( having at the same time, when in office, ac- tually promised the then proposed place), that in his judg- ment the appointment of such an officer was unnecessary and uncalled for. The Bill, however, as we have said, was passed,, and pointed out " a person conversant in accounts"''' as proper' to hold the place. We thought that this descriptio personee pointed out Mr. PAGE, the Chief Clerk, by whom all the practical part of account- keeping in bankruptcy was then done. We regretted that a lawyer could not, in our judgment,, hold the situation ; especially as there were two in the Court of Bankruptcy at that time, the joint continuance of whose places, after the appointment of the Accountant in Bankruptcy, the identical Act of Parliament, so passed as aforesaid, declared to be useless, inasmuch as the duties of such Accountant had heretofore been performed by one of them ( the Chief Registrar, Mr. Seijeant LAWES), who would thereafter have very little to do. The Deputy Registrar of the Court of Review, Mr. GREGG, is the other person we mean ; and the Act enacted, that, on the appointment of the Accountant, by reason that there would be so little to da on the death, resignation, or removal of such Chief or Deputy, the vacancy occasioned thereby should not be filled up, but the duties of both be performed by the one remaining. The Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal, however, did not entertain the same opinion as we did. They did not think Mr. PAGE the person described as one " conversant in ac- counts,"''' though he must have known more about those accounts than any one else; nor did they think that a lawyer could not hold the situation. Although the duties of such new officer had been previously performed by the Chief Re- gistrar of the Court, they did not think him a person so conversant in such accounts ( who, except Mr. PAGE, could be better?) as to justify their appointing him;— nor did they think proper to appoint the Deputy, be- cause he, we suppose, had never had anything to do with such accounts, and because, moreover, the appoint- ment of either Chief or Deputy, would have occasioned the actual vacancy not to be filled up, and consequent saving of money which the Act contemplated ; and because, moreover, and to a Whig, for the best reason of . ill, there would then have been no new place to give away. Well— passing over these three persons, Mr. PAGE, a person conversant in accounts ; the Chief Registrar, who was something conversant in the accounts in question ; aud the Deputy, who knew nothing at all about them, but whose promotion would have saved the public money, and made no vacancy in the Court— what did the Lords Commissioners do? Did they give the situation to the promisee of Lord BROUGHAM ?— No. Did they select a person more conversant in accounts generally than Mr. PAGE ?— No. In these accounts, than Mr. Serjeant LAWES ? or one, whose appointment to the situation would have occa- sioned a greater saving to the public than that of Mr. GREGG ? — No. Did they select a mercantile man ?— No. But of all the birds in the air aud the fishes in the sea, who have they given it to, but Mr. BASIL MONTAGUE, one of his MA- JESTY'S Council. As far as he is concerned, we rejoice, and wish him a long life to enjoy his promotion ; but as far as the Lords Commissioners are concerned, we wish they may be able to explain their conduct on this occasion. The case with the public stands thus:— Mr. MONTAGUE, as an old Commissioner of Bankrupts, is entitled to 2001. a- year for life, which merges in his present salary of S001. His appointment, therefore, costs the public 6001. a- year additional, with the addition of Mr. PAGE'S salary of 4001., we believe ( making 1,0001. a- year), for that which would have been done for 4001. additional only, had Mr. PAGE been appointed, If Mr. Serjeant LAWES had been appointed, the new 8001. a- year for the Accountant would have been entirely saved, for that is the amount of his present salary, and the joint continuance of his place and Mr. GREGG'S is now declared unnecessary; and had Mr. GREGG been appointed ( to whom the same observation applies), his appointment would only have cost the public 2001. a- year ad ditional, for his present salary is 6001. a- year. The appointment, therefore, of Mr. MONTAGUE over the heads of those three other officers of the Court, besides the enactment as to the now joint duration of two of the places held by them, by no possibility could have done more than saved the public 2001. a year, and must have cost it at least 6001. In one way, the new duties might have been done for 2001. a year, iu another for 4001. ( as we believe), and by the Chief Registrar for nothing. Mr. MONTAGUE is an honest and excellent man, and a first- rate bankruptcy lawyer: but are his services, we ask, as a mere accountant, better worth paying 1,0001. a year for than Mr. PAGE'S at 4001. ?— 1,2001. a- year instead of Mr. GREGG'S at 2001. ?— or 1,4001., instead of those of Mr. Seijeant LAWES, for nothing beyond their respective present receipts of income ? A WORD of remark from us upon the state of the Canadas would be superfluous— the most cursory perusal of the jour- nals from those most valuable and important colonies will* 51 j o h n b u l l; February 14. te to exhibit tlie state to which they are reduced, or rather < c£ e* afed. We submit a letter received by us— which has in TjfocrS appeared in the columns of our excellent contemporary Sinning Post— which we have reason to know, speaks the [ ratli upon the subject. Extract of a Letter from Quebec, dated 20th December. ever you turn your attention to the affairs of this country, have long since seen enough of Mr. PAPINEAU'S audacious and the weakness and timidity of the KING'S Ministers; fest js ® could never have supposed them'wicked enough to have sent Commissioners, at an immense expense, for the sole purpose of ffi^- r- s up, to a petty French faction, all the powers of Government, am*: the means of carrying it on according to their own pleasure. ? S* » « Sicer of Government in this colony has received any remunera- HiKi rirr his services during the last two years, yet has the KING'S iBf5 « ¥ seatative been instructed to pay twenty- two thousand pounds feirIlls contingencies of the two Houses, without the concurrence ttl 9> e Legislative Council,* and knowing that a great part of contingencies were for the hire of a Member of the British Btefiament to calumniate the most respectable men, and whole • Jnsses of men, in the province, and to incite the great mass of SILT- j'Pople to insurrection. Lord GOSFORD not only obeyed these Sssimetions, but his expression was, that h « did it' cheerfully.' You w3i, 1 think, approve ot the spirit of the Constitutionalists— they are, JH5- S » pi>, getting on rather too hastily at Montreal. The Coustitu- ^ aisa^ isls in Quebec are more calm and dignified in their proceedings, set less determined; and if the Ministers refuse to listen to their snsi grievances, they will lose not only this province, but the whole of . America, in a very short time. The inhabitants of British • rsgia are at present loya), and most anxious that the connexion them and the mother country should continue; but those "* r3w » are living in this province are determined not to live under a Fie ® eh Republic. Their countrymen in the Upper Province declare Hrveifhes ready at any moment to come down and assist them if it be found necessary to resort to arms ; those of New Brunswick Nova Scotia, it is conjectured, will do the same, for their trade « r » jrid he mined if it teas left at the mercy of the French Canadians, * rj* il$ rother Jonathan is quietly buying up seigniories and mill seats, on tit borders of the St. Lawrence, ready to take advantage of circum- € es. In short, the affairs of this country cannot remain long as tiitj are. No Supply Bill has yet passed ; it is now supposed that - will be sent up, but so unconstitutional in its nature, that it « * 3zat to be rejected by the Council, in which case it may be long He*/:- IT the officers of Government receive anything. To many, this of things has unquestionably been fatal, and there is 110 dou bt fri'S that the great majority of placemen here will never get the tatter of the difficulties ill which they have been involved, even fi aD their emoluments should eventually be continued to them. " 3T5i?* © are certain expenses in every family which must be paid in money, and you have no idea of the ruinous means to which ifc" aaost respectable families have been obliged to have recourse in • r !)> obtain it." Such have been the effects, public and private, of that miserable em of concession which has so long been adopted by the Goveru- • ararat » f this country towards the most contemptible of all factions— tj& e FA? 3NEAU faction of Lower Canada. Let Ministers, however, be informed, in the profundity of their i? 5* r » nce, that the factious spirit which they so greatly fear is - viy confined to those 80 individuals who constitute the Assembly « t ihs " Lower Province, and that even if it extended to the body of t&*?- people, it is only in Lower Canada that the French Canadians cs^^ ose the numerical majority. In both Provinces the power • fyi ^ erty, of education, and of the sword, is in the hands of the .. Ciasaaans of British extraction. The truth of this, the amusing *' « 54isieiitalists in Downing- street are about to be convinced of, in a asaiaer which their mild and gentle and conciliating natures but Sstk- anticipate. Theywill ere long be andinthe properway, Mtaw they should fear ; and when next their muddy understandings * rr iwwildered by the effect of terror, they will perhaps recollect that dterxsg the last war with the United States of America, it was the mrniri of the Canadians of Upper Canada— of the inhabitants of Bri- OiM wigin— which was mainly instrumental in repelling the attacks sff* Republican invader. Let this be always remembered when we Xssw » f the loyalty of " the Canadians." X. V. Z.

The facts, however, which it contains • m.- g& t to find their way into every paper in England.

Olh. ' * » • • * The Upper House of the Provincial Parliament. 3R has been said that Mr. O'CONNELL has been coarsely VM-' ii by the Conservative press, and that everything which « wStI have been raked up against him, true or untrue, gKsaine or exaggerated, has been exhibited in the columns *$ iiie adverse papers, to render him odious and abominable. IF e will say nothing of Mr. O'CONNELL ourselves— and, Sagged, of ourselves, we have seldom said much— because, wpon our established principle of fact before argument, we prefer, in illustrating character, that which a man says liim- to anything which anybody else can say of him. In order, therefore, to justify in some degree those who have lies violent in their denunciation of the person in question, wt srill extract from a letter addressed to the People of Eng- 3BK4 and Scotland, by Mr. FINN, not what Mr. FINN says of SSJB— because for that, powerful and mortal as it is, we have no omw— but that which Mr. FINN quotes from Mr. O'CON- » E& i's own lips, as exemplifying the gentleness, piety, modera- tssw, humanity, and total absence of party feeling ( of which dragged in the House of Commons ou Thursday), which tfiistieguish him above all other living men, and which, it is asgaed, ought to have secured him against the savage re- y/ isashes of such coarse and vulgar- tongued men as Lord 2' U. FINLEY, Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, and a host of their iri- SrnOTs, who have ventured to think that Mr. O'CONNELL was aeifter quite so amiable nor so gentlemanly as he might be. >! r. FINN selects a few extracts from Mr. O'CONNELL'S own speeches, classed under different heads, to which we call the abention of our readers. He begins with Mr. O'CONNELL'S e- nrses" as publicly delivered by him— here they are :— HIS FIRST CURSE. " If a man be villain enough to vote against his country, let nobody Sbs- ynr him for the remainder of his life. Let him live in the midst of S » - (,- ountry in a state of civil excommunication."—( Pronounced Nov. 1, at the Anti-' lory Association.) HIS SECOND CURSE. " Let the people stand shoulder to shoulder, and mark as their bit- ferpst foe and worst enemy him who would give a single vote to a a^ vporter of the PEEL- WELLINGTON Administration. Let them look hi She earth such a miscreant. Let such a man be avoided as a plague — him le regarded as a political pestilence. Let the women gaze vp& v him as an object of detestation, and cursed of his kind must he hi I'Aom they detest. Let his children abjure the day that gave them jsvi a parent. Let the miscreant appear the hatred of all mankind. Srf- t him live a signal example how degraded one can be WHO BASELY am 1FFICS to serve his passions or his party."—( Ibid, Dec. 20.) Tiie third curse quoted— he did not pronounce, but as 3Kr. FINN says, " few people will doubt the paternity of the /" eat mendicant." Mr. O'CONNELL has denied this pub- " t.- iied— not spoken— curse, with a laugh, and a declaration Hiat it was a " hoax." There is, we must confess, a strong fcw'ily likeness, and although we give it under protest, we pxe it:— HIS THIRD CURSE. " Electors of Kerry— Our county election takes place on Tuesday , Kerry— « ay, Ireland— expects that every man this day • mi, l do his duty. And, waiving all prologue, I declare at once that * tiitever creature, clothed in human nature— whatever base wretch, political renegade, or hireling ruffian, ( oh, the weakness of language to describe him !) should be found so vile, treacherous, and corrupt, as to vote for the Knight of Kerry, or any such sham reformer— a man who circumscribed the spirit of patriotism within the wizard circle of the Protestant interest— who was brought over to side with the Minister by burgundy, kind words, or closeting, or by bribery, intrigue, and a pension list expansible ad infinitum— should never he seen in public hut as a loathsome object at which the slow, unmoving finger of scorn shall be pointed at: Amen.— May his conscience prove the worm ever knawing upon his vitals, until he be reduced to that degree of emaciation that a surgeon might practice osteology on his carrion frame : Amen.— May a sea of dreams, tumultuous and spectral visions, nightly fright the placidity and calm of his sleep ; and may he nightly repose himself in sheets contaminated and adul- terous : Amen.— May his children prove ungrateful and disobedient; and, should he need a crutch, may they pluck it from their old limp- ing sire, and with it beat out his brains": Amen.— May his daughters, to general filth, becoming ****** : Amen.— In fine, may his country disregard him, his friends and neighbours despise him ; may the young children shout him as he moves along; may domestic strife drown him in perpetual riot and confusion ; and when the angel of death shall hover over him, may the awful reflection blast him in his last hour—' I might have saved my country— might but did not!'— Readers, all say— Amen, amen, amen.'' For Mr. O'CONNELL'S curses, we suppose reasonable people have as much regard, as they have for his patriotism; but what follows are infinitely more important, because, addressed to the numerous tribes by whom he lives, they may have, and perhaps have already had, the most tremendous effect. Reason- able people can only laugh at Mr. O'CONNELL'S incomparable absurdity and impudence ; but the paupers in England, who live by his support, and the paupers in Ireland, by whose sup- port he lives, fancy him a great and influential man. Here Mr. FINN favours us with his menaces of assassination— they follow.— ASSASSINATION MENACES. " FINUCANE only talks of being against tithes. This is a gross de- lusion. If any mail vote for him, let his name be posted up."— ( Anti- Tory Association, Dec. 34.) " There are some fiery patriots, I am told, in alliance with Mr. TOTTENHAM. If these traitors persevere, let a wall of brass be drawn round their houses ; and if they follow their present course in New Ross, let their names be given to the public."—( Ibid.) " There is not a Catholic in the county of Kerry who will be base enough to vote for the Knight of Kerry, who " shall not have A DEATH'S- HEAD AND CROSS- BONES PLACED ON HIS DOOR, TO SHOW WHAT A MISCREANT HE IS."—( Ibid.) " I intended to have got an ass's head with a squint in it, painted and sent to JOHN DAVID LATOUCHE ; but I think a CALF'S HEAD IS MUCH BETTER.—( Great laughter.)—( Ibid.) " As to the crawling, wretched, contemptible, slimy creatures, who voted for the Orange candidate in Carlow, he ( O'CONNELL) thought it was not blood, Dut the ichor of insects that ran in their veins ( cheers). The words should BE WRITTEN OVER THEIR DOORS. He would not. put over them the Brunswick arms— that is, " a death's- head and cross- bones"— nor the marrow- bone and cleaver— nor even JOHN DAVID LATOUCHE'S emblem, an ass's head with a squint in it— ( laughter)— but he would inscribe over their doors bribery and black- guardism ( laughter.) He wished that some fellowin Carlowwhohad nothing else to do, WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ONE OF THESE BRIGHT NIGHTS AND PERFORM THE JOB ; at least he trusted that the lijtle boys and girls would be taught to cry it after them as they walked through the streets. Nothing could exceed the baseness of the conduct of these electors of Carlo'w. It was said that ST. PATRICK drove away from the land the venomous reptiles which once infested it; but now" the venom and poison, which no longer belonged to the adder or toad, seemed to be concentrated in the hearts of these ORANGE CATHOLICS, WHO ARE MORE NOISOME THAN THE ADDER, MORE SLIMY AND VENOMOUS THAN THE TOAD. OH ! THAT THE TOAD AND ADDER WOULD BE PAINTED ox THEIR DOORS. But their names ivere on record, and, instead of calling a man a scoundrel or rascal, they should in future call him PAT FINN, just in the same manner as LUTTRELL was applied in Wexford ( laughter). For the rest of his life, where a man should COMMIT ANY ATROCIOUS CRIME against Ireland, he would brand the despicable fellow with the name of PAT FINN—( cheers and laughter) — and this class of traitors should be called the Finny tribe ( great laughter.)"—( Ibid.) As we have professed to say nothing of our own, or of Mr. FINN'S upon the present occasion, but to leave Mr. O'CON- NELL to speak entirely for himself, we add nothing to what we have already quoted. But, we repeat our opinion, this of itself is sufficient to show the nature and character of the gentleman, who no longer ago than Thursday, in the House of Commons, derided the idea of " party feeling," " personal enmity," or " political violence." TO JOHN BULL. Sir,— I would beg leave, through the medium of your journal, to submit to my brethren, the Clergy, throughout England and Wales, as the trustees of the endowments of their respective Churches, the propriety of presenting to the KING and the Houses of Parliament a solemn protest and remonstrance against the proposal of his MA- JESTY'S Minister, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in the House of Commons, to reduce those endowments from 25 to 30 per cent., on the pretext of effecting a permanent commutation of tithes. I do not suggest this with any hope of averting the meditated invasion of the rights of property in the persons of the Clergy, but for the purpose of saving our characters in the history of our Church and country, that our children, and our children's children, may know that we omitted no step which it became us, as subjects of the Crown and Ministers of the Church, to take, to prevent an act which will stamp the nation with injustice and sacrilege, and inflict directly extensive injury, not upon us only, but upon the poor who are de- pendent upon us. Many of us at present are at the chief or sole cost of schools and other charities in our respective parishes, to a very large amount. When one- third of our Clerical income is transferred to the landlords, how will it be possible for us to continue to do as we have done ? It is possible that, in particular instances, the landlords may take upon themselves the maintenance of the schools which the Clergy, by the act of the KING'S Government, shall be incapacitated from continuing to support; but none can imagine that this will be the case generally. And who then will be the sufferers by this measure but the poor of the land, who have most claim upon the protection of their Sovereign ? Sir, I have the less hesitation in stepping forward to speak upon this subject, because the private means with which Almighty GOD has supplied me, will probably save me and my family from the immediate pressure of this proposed act of tyranny: but all who are acquainted with the slender incomes of too many of those who wait at GOD'S altar, will know too well the privation and inconveniences to which they will be subjected by it. Sir, when the Clergy in CHARLES the Second's reign acquiesced in the surrender of their power of taxing themselves, which had been their constitutional and practised right from time immemorial till then, express reservation was made, in the Acts of Subsides, of all their rights and privileges. Are the conditions of that compact now to be broken? and is it to be declared to the world that a nation's faith, when pledged to the Church of CHRIST, may be violated without a scruple ? We, Sir, who wait at GOD'S altar, are the trustees and stewards of those offerings which the rich of other days made at it, for the main- tenance of those who serve Him. Can men, who believe in the reality of that religion which they profess, indeed think it amatter of indifference in His sight whether that which has been set apart for His religion shall be religiously maintained, or recklessly perverted to other purposes ? Sir, if there is no help, and on the pretence of satisfying the morbid craving of those who are desirous of change, our rights are to be vio- lated, anda precedent for the insecurity of property established, isit unreasonable to ask that some i quivalent should be bestowed ? Either that the landlords, who are to be invested with so large a portion of our property, should be invested likewise with the paro- chial taxes which we have hitherto helped to bear ? or that, in con- sideration of the injury we are to sustain by this ( avowed) conve- nience to the public, we be exempted from the land tax which now f res ; es heavily upon us ? My land tax now, is more than 10 per cent, upon my income; when one- third of that income is to be given to my neighbour, am I still to pay the laud tax upon it ? Sir, when a road or canal, for the convenience of a company or the public, is to be cut through another person's property, a jury is im- pannelled, and they whose convenience is sought are called upon to make reasonoble compensation to the party whose property is to be injured. When, for the convenience of the landlords or of the public, alteration is to be made in the property of the Clergy ( an alteration, which, even if it secured the same amount of income, I should con- sider a very great injury, as affecting the character of their property, and cutting off a link of connexion between pastor and people, sanc- tioned from the days of Melchisedek downwards), the analogy of justice would require that, after impartial inquiry had, the public and the landlords should be called upon to make some reasonable compensation to the parties who are to be injured by their conve- nience. Thus, justice would require that the landlords should pay an addi- tional per centage upon the full fair value of the tithes, for the conve- nience of leaving their lands exempted from the liability of tithe in kind. Instead of this, Lord JOHN RUSSELL calls upon the injured party to pay thirty per cent, of their property to those for whose conve- nience they are to suffer. Will KING, Lords, and Commons indeed sanction such a principle ? Sir, the Clergy will be content to bearwhateverinjustice or oppres- sion their Heavenly Master, for the trial of their constancy and of their faith, may suffer others to inflict upon them; for they are not their own masters, but His servants. But being His servants, and by Him appointed as trustees of those earthly means which have been provided for the better and more efficient maintenance of his reli- gion, and for the instruction of the poor, to whom especially it was intended that the Gospel should be preached; it does, I conceive, become them, and is a part of that duty which may be required- of them in discharge of their stewardship, to offer respectful but firm and solemn remonstrance against any proposal from any quarter which is calculated to injure those means, and in any respects to pre- vent the gracious designs of their trustees as regards the poor, from being accomplished. It is with this view that I have written, and I shall be happy if my brethren shall regard it in the same light, and leave upon the records of our country the united remonstrance of our body against the proposed scheme. I will not conclude my letter without expressing publicly my admi- ration and thanks to Sir ROBERT INGLIS, the firm, high- principled, consistent, and conscientious advocate of the rights of the Clergy, for his conduct, when the scheme was broached. He has learned, in the Church which he zealously endeavours to support, that lesson, which nothing but Christian faith can enable a statesman to learn, namely, that to adhere to principle, is the only safe and sure road to expediency. According to the promise, seek ye first the kingdom of GOD, and his righteousness, and all these things, shall be added unto yon. 1 am, Sir, your very obedient servant, ARTHUR PERCEVAL. East Horsley, Feb. 11, 1836. TO JOHN BULL. Sir,— Is it not passing strange the East India Directors should take such infinite pains to continue at variance with their constituent body ?— like petulant children who have lost their cake, they bestow vengeance upon their best friends, and obstinately refuse to be com- forted. The last General Court, on the 3d instant, gave to them a golden opportunity for reconciliation, and it is much to be deplored they had not the moral courage to accept it; the word has passed their lips— an appeal to their conviction and a probe to tlieir feelings were alike in vain— they had previously " determined not to alter one iota of the Minutes before the Court." Every candid mind, unac- quainted with the merits of the question, would naturally infer these sapient gentlemen, acting ministerially as trustees of the funds, and kingly as guardians of the honour and dignity of the East India Company, whose character has hitherto been ennobled by virtuous practice, were on this occasion governed solely by a love of justice: Alas! will their conduct throughout this Compensation Scheme war- rant such conclusion ? For what purpose did they send in an esti- mate of 1,500,0001. to the Board of Control, if 800,0001. were alone to be required ? Why at this time have they gone aside from the usual practice, when a ballot has been demanded ? The same reason is applicable to both— to mislead, and both are equally at variance with the truth. They state they " deprecate the measure, as tending materially to extend the compensation." The assertion is contrary to fact— in the very estimate alluded to, 20t, 0001. was an item set apart for " special cases;" the framers and movers of the original compensation plan, iu August, 1834. Sir CHARLES FORBES, Mr. WEEDING, Mr. SWEET, and other Ho- nourable Gentlemen, have declared it was the spirit and intention of that scheme, to admit " special cases." The evidence of Lord GLEN- ELG and Mr. MELVILLE, before a Committee of the House of Com- mons, declared " special cases" might and ought to be entertained— so also said the unanimous resolutions of one branch of the Legisla- ture. Will any man believe the people of India will have to contri- bute one grain of rice towards the debts due to these officers ? Do the Directors believe it themselves?— No! Why then urge it?— to mislead. But they owe a duty to the great body of the Proprietors — how do they perform it ? In violation of their recorded votes, a majority of 248, in August, 1834, which in strict fairness ought to go- vern the right now asked under the third resolution, then passed by a total disregard of the repeated majorities of their deliberative and le- gislative body ? Do they not seek rather to mislead the Proprietors, that inconsistency may be recorded against them— which would fol- low, if they were to have these ill- used gentlemen in the minority on Wednesday next. Some Proprietor may ask, would it not have been better if these gentlemen had received the Directors' offer? Let me ask, could gentlemen receive charity to a feiv for justice to all? Ten officers, of comparatively short service, are the only ones who could have partaken of such extended benevolence, while the remaining claim- ants are men advanced in life, having served from twenty to thirty years; they are possessed of means sufficient to place them beyond I January 24. ' JOHN BULL. 31 the degrading need of beggars, but, consequently, without the reach ofthisprofferedboon. I must not indulge, Sir, any more on your time and space, than hoping the Proprietors will not allow themselves, by special pleading unworthy so great a body, to be entrapped into an act of inconsistency that would be recorded against them, did they allow these injured officers to be placed in a minority on Wednesday next' their claims under the Act are as strong as any that have been conpensated. AN OLD SUBSCRIBER. IN connection with the case of Messrs. MILLER and MALONE, for not enforcing the authority of the Exchequer process in Ireland, we think it will not be amiss to submit the following comparison of the oaths of the constabulary, with the orders of the Under- Secretary Reform- boundary- regula- ting half- pay Navy Lieutenant DBUM. MOXD, and his col- league, Lord MORPETH, upon the same subject :— Oaths prescribed by 3 Geo. IV.

B., do swear that will well and truly Sovereign Lord the the office of Chief ( or Constable, or stable, as the case without favour or malice or ill- will will see and cause his jesty's peace to be kept and preserved, and that I will King, in Constable may be,) affection, ; that I Ma- PREVENT, to the best of my power, all offences against the same, and I Circular to the Police Constables. Dublin Castle, Nov. 14, 1835. SIR,— It has been signified, in answer to an application on the subject, that when disturbances have arisen during the process of distraining for rent or tithe, the best and it is intended to proceed with the distress on some subsequent knowledge, occasion, if a Magistrate receives information upon oath that dis- discharge all the duties thereof turbance is likely to be renewed, he is authorised to require the at- shall continue said office, I will, of my skill and that while to hold the to in the execution of warrants, and otherwise faithfully accord- ing to the law. tendance of the military or police, at some convenient distance, in order to act IF such disturbances should take place. His Excellency cannot allow their ACTUAL PRESENCE ON THE SPOT TILL A VIOLATION 01' THE PEACE SHALL CALL " So help me God." FOR IT. I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient, humble ser- vant, MORPETH. After this comparison of the terms of the Act of Parliament, with the directions of Messrs. DRUM. MOXD and MORPETH, it is clear that unless the constable is a I'ajiist, his soul will be as much in peril as his body, by the discrepancies which arise between them. If he be of that convenient religion, one shilling and twopence at Easter will settle the whole affair. The Brighton Gazette says:— Another example' of that benevolent disposition by which the QUEEN is so eminently distinguished has recently come to our know- ledge. In the course of the last season her MAJESTY visited the Albion Baxaar, on the Grand Junction- road, and made some pur- chases of one of the standholders, an elderly female, lately deceased. • About a month ago her MAJESTY again visited the Bazaar, with the intention of purchasing some more articles at the same stall, but find- ing it occupied by a young person, tier MAJESTY made some inquiry about the former occupant. On learning that she was somewhat re- duced in circumstances, the QUEEN expressed her sorrow, and shortly afterwards 411. was forwarded to the female in question, which in- cluded a donation of 101. from the QUEEN, 101. from the KING, and other donations from the Princess AUGUSTA, the Duchess of GLOU- CESTER, tfcc., amounting to the above sum. We understand that it was the dying request of the object of her MAJESTY'S bounty that this generous act should be made known. Intelligence reached Paris on Tuesday of the death of her Majesty the Queen of NAPLES, who had just given birth to an heir to the throne. We regret having to announce the death of Sir JAMES COLQUHOUN, of Luss, who died on Wednesday the 3d inst., after a lingering illness of some months' duration. Sir JAMES devoted his time to the pur- suits of agriculture, and residing principally on his estates, set an example to landlords well worthy of imitation. The Lords have decided, regarding private Bills, that they will receive no petition for a private Bill after Friday, the 26th of Febru- ary ; and no report from the Judges upon such petitions after Wednesday, the 20th of April. The KING has conferred the Guelphic Order of Hanover upon Colonel PARRY, M. P. for Carnarvon. The City of Dublin Election Committee resumes its sittings on the 29th inst., to enter on the consideration of the voluminous mass of evidence accumulated since its adjournment by the Commission which sat during the recess in Dublin. Lord GR4NTLEY has been unanimously re- elected Lord High Steward of the borough of Guildford by the new council, which is composed almost wholly of Conservatives, and which office his Lord- ship has again kindly consented to accept. It is said that Mr. ROTCH will be again put in nomination for the Chairmanship of the Middlesex Sessions— with what success, it remains to be seen. It is stated by the Ministerial papers that Mr. BANIM, the author of the O'Hara Tales, is to have a pension of 1501. a- year. The late constituents and friends of WILLIAM ASTELL, Esq., at Bridgewater, have presented him with two very elegant candelabra, as a testimony of their high regard of his public conduct during the twenty- six years he represented the borough of Bridgewater in Par- liament. It need scarcely be said that Mr. ASTELL'S principles were, and are, a firm attachment to the Constitution in Church and State. The opening Speech of the session was printed and published in the Dublin Evening Mail of Friday, at half- past three o'clock, within twenty- four hours and a half of its being delivered, at a distance of about 330 miles— the whole of the land journey being made over formation and guidance of the Police Establishment. The Petty Session Act having directed that the Constabulary shall not be employed in the levy of rents by distress, except only in cases in which forcible resist- ance has been actually made, and is proved by information on oath, it is objectionable in a single Magistrate on the verbal unsworn statement of an individual, to give orders for the attendance of the serve our police in cases where distresses have been made. THE ACT OF PATROLLING IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD IS SUBSTANTIAL- LY ASSISTING THOSE WHO HAVE DISTRAINED, and in all cases in Sub- Con- which assistance is required, un- less where forcible resistance has been made, and is sworn to, the propriety of directing it to be given shouldbe referred toGovern- ment. The police should understand that their DUTY oil such occa- sions is strictly limited to the preservation of the peace, and that they are not to take part in the proceedings. T. DRUMMOND. Dublin Castle, Oct. 26, 1835. roads covered with snow, and the voyage, in consequence of the un- favourable state of the weather, occupying three hours more than the usual time. Madame SHROEDER DEVRIENT, the celebrated cantatrice, died at Vienna on the 26th ult. The Rector and parochial authorities of St. Mary, Whitechapel, have addressed a letter to Mr. CHARLES WALKER, on the occasion of the death of his brother, the late estimable Police Magistrate, in terms of high and deserved praise for the great benefits which the parish had received from his invaluable services. These gentlemen intend also placing a tablet to the memory of the respected deceased in the parish Church. The mortal remains of Lord STOWELL were removed from his residence, Early Court, on Wednesday se'nnight, and consigned to the family vault in Sonning Church, in a manner corresponding with his elevated rank and station in society, followed by the distinguished members of his family, and a numerous company of the resident gentry of the neighbourhood. The Edinburgh livening Post sajs :— The Whig clique in the Western city ( Glasgow) is attempting to cram Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK down the throats of the liberal electors, who are resolved to have nothing to do with his Lordship. Accordingly, a complete split has taken place amongst the Whigs and Radicals— the latter" of whom are talking of bringing forward either Mr. STIRLING, a respectable man, though a Durhamite, or Air. MILLS, jun., whose qualification is that he is the son of the Provost! Where is the Glasgow Gander, or loyal PETER M'KENZIE? It is hardly possible that both of these pa triots have been bribed by the Whigs; one of them, therefore, should take the field. The Hon. Sir THOMAS PAKENHAM, G. C. B., whose death was prematurely announced some months ago, died a few days since in Dublin, at tbe advanced age of 78 years, as we have already stated- He was senior Admiral in the Royal Navy, and the last of the heroes who commanded ships in Lord HOWE'S memorable action on jthe " Glorious first of June," 1794, in which engagement he was Captain of the Invincible, 74 ( of which ship the late Sir BENJAMIN HALLOWEL CAREW was First Lieutenant), and was principally instrumental in the capture of Le Juste, 84, which ship he afterwards had the honour to command. The Invincible had 45 men killed and wounded. Sir THOMAS wore a medal in commemoration of this battle. He was pro- moted, in 1798, to the rank of Rear Admiral, but never hoisted his flag. He held for some time the office of Master- General of the Irish Ordnance. In the American war, his adm rable defence of the Crescent frigate added a laurel to our naval history ; but Sir THOMAS was better known in the Royal Navy by eccentricity and broad humour, governing his men and keeping up a strict discipline, rather by the excellence of his temper than the severity of his punishments,— and his " Pakenham boys," as he usually called his " men," were always in good order. The Pakenham family have been long celebrated in the Royal Navy. During the late war Sir THOMAS lost two near relatives in the service— viz., Captain E. PAKENHAM, in the Resistance, when that ship unfortunately blew up, in the straits of Banca, on the 24th July, 1798, and all the crew, ex- cepting four, were lost; the other, his nephew, the Hon. Captain WILLIAM PAKENHAM, commanding the Saldanha frigate, which foundered on the coast of Ireland on the 5th of November, 1811, when every soul on board perished! Sir THOMAS was great uncle to the present, and uncle to the late Lord LONGFORD. By his death a naval insignia of a Knight Grand Cross has become vacant. The Lords of the Treasury have ordered that the race- horse duty should not be enforced in respect of horses used in the yeomanry cavalry. What a boon!!! The Carmarthen Journal states that the Worshipful Town Council of that borough have appointed a Town Clerk, with no salary; but they are trying to get up a most fructifying law- suit, with the county, touching the right to the Guildhall. Moreover, the same respectable body, who debate often in Welsh," and do not admit a reporter, have granted a lease of the Guildhall to Mr. LLOYD HALL, their Recorder elect, for three months, at the rent of one shilling.— IVorcester Guardian. A GOOD SHOT.— A. HUGHES, Esq., of Bideford, whilst shooting last week in a canoe on the Barnstaple river, made four extraordinary shots. The first was at a flock of teal, killing seventeen; the second at wild ducks, killing six; a third at widgeon, killing fourteen; and the fourth at golden plover, killing thirty- six: making together, seventy- three head of wild fowl. This must have been done with a long bow, we suspect. Monday afternoon an inquisition was ' taken at the Middlesex Hospital, on view of the body of the Rev. SAMUEL LOREY BARKER, M. A., aged 56, Chaplain to his Royal Highness the Duke of CAM- BRIDGE, who was killed in the Regent- circus on Friday se'nnight, by the kick of a runaway horse. The deceased was formerly Chaplain to the Duke of YORK, and has left three daughters. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. SPRING RICE, has in- formed Mr. BARNABY, M. P., that it is not the intention of Govern- ment to make any reduction in the hop duty. As this is the case, the following extract from the Kentish Observer, exhibiting a mode of reducing the original expense of hop cultivation, may not be unin- teresting. That which is good for Kent, must be good for Surrey, Hereford, Worcestershire, and every county where hops are grown. The Kentish Paper says:— At a season when the purchase, either for stock or replacement of hop- poles, is likely to take place in this county, we think we cannot do better service to our friends and neighbours, than call their at- tention to the unquestionable and unqualified advantages derivable from the adoption of the process for the protection of dry- rot, for which a patent has been procured, and the working of which is now directed by a company, consisting of gentlemen of the highest rank and consideration, in the City of London. So much has been said, and so much proved, by the most scientific and practical men, of the efficacy of the process, that we shall not occupy our space in a recapitulation of the evidence adduced before a Committee appointed by Government to inquire into its merits. Professor FARADAY'S dictum has established its infallibility, and when such a man as Sir ROBERT SMIRKE, who invariably adopts it in all the great public buildings of which he is the architect, says, in evidence, that he CANNOT ROT svood or timber prepared with the solution, we have little left to do, but to see how its effects can be advantageously applied to the purposes most benficial to each peculiar interest in the empire. We believe, speaking of hop- poles, that when new, they vary from 10 to 18 feet long, and last from 2 to 10 years. We will, from data which we have before us, suppose a case, which we think will be found pretty correct as to its averages:— Average length of poles 14 feet. diameter 2j inches. durability 6 years. Cost per hundred 28s. 6d. Entire Stock 3,000,000 poles Present annual replacement .... 500,000 poles Now, the cost of 3,000,000 poles, at 28s. 6d. per 100, will be 42,7501. The cost of 3,000,000 poles, at the same price, will be, when pre- pared by Kyan's patent, at 5s. 4d. per 100, 50,7501. ' But now comes the annual charge for replacement of unprepared poles- Purchase of 500,000 poles, at 28s. 6d. per 100, £ 7,125 0 0 Interest on original purchase, 42,7501^ at 5 per cent. 2,137 10 0 9,262 10 0 Let the poles be prepared according to the patent, and see the difference— Interest upon 50,7501 £ 2,537 10 0 Purchase of 100,000 poles, at 28s. 6d 1,425 0 0 Preparation by the patent 267 0 0 4,229 10 0 By this comparison of the relative advantages of prepared and unprepared poles, it is shewn that the first cost of the unprepared poles, according to the price therein stated, is 42,7501.; while th*< rf the prepared poles will be 50,7501. But, on the other hamf, a » annual charges for the unprepared poles, at the same raw, ire 9,2621.10s., while those for the prepared poles are 4,2291.10s.— ant one- half the amount; this important difference arising froca » ue average duration of six years of unprepared poles being increasaJ. Sgr the preparation, to an average of thirty years; thus requiring s » keep up the full stock, only one- fifth of the number annually SQ^ jfesJ previously. The practical planter of course knows precisely the nnnfter poles required for each acre of ground, and the result is, rttEttass expenses of hop cultivation will be reduced by so much per un, is will be saved by the adoption of this most important aud vaisaMs discovery. . ' The process has been adopted with triumphant success in in warehouses, in palings and fencings, and in every case where is exposed to the influence of time and climate. In all the recsafi Eublic buildings it has been adopted by the leading architect ssil nilders of the day; and we cannot conceive any application el Bfc likely to be more " useful and advantageous to individuals, thjsa. sfetS which we have just recommended to the hop- growers of oar car ® fertile and beautiful county.

THE LIVERPOOL CHURCH ENDOWMENT QUESTION.— At a mecfajg of the Common Council on Wednesday week, the question of endoi5r5rss? the Churches was brought forward by Mr. BOLTON, who moved " IKSL an instruction be given to the town- clerk to take prompt and effiei^ S; measures, under the direction of a committee of the council, for sea- ting aside the late endowment for the parochial and other Cleigy of this borough, by a mortgage on the rents and profits of certain" j>! w- perty therein."— Mr. BLACKBURN seconded the motion, which vss carried by a large majority, only five members of the council aa& ag against it. The following is the result of a poll of the parish of St. George in the East, Middlesex, for a Church- rate of a penny in the jxmadz— For the rate 526 ; against 303. Majority for the rate, 223. A vestry meeting of the inhabitants of St. Paul's, Deptford, held on Thursday week, to make a Church- rate of 2d. in the posai- After the motion for the rate had been made, the anti- Church forty moved an amendment, that no rate should be granted. Upon a shaw of hands being taken, there appeared a majority of 10 in fav « cr « f the amendment— viz., 25 for the rate, and 35 against it. The ChcrsA. party then demanded a poll, and at the close on Friday evening fee numbers were, for the rate 182, against it 84. The following appears as a note, in the Rev. W. DANSET'S WSRIFC on Rural Deans:—" There are three ecclesiastical anomalies inflse deanery of Chalke. To one of them there is probably no counterpart in all England;— it is a parish wherein a Roman Catholic Peer is both lay Rector and lay Bishop, and appoints, or not as he choose*, a stipendiary Chaplain over many hundred Protestant souls. He Church is ruinously dilapidated ; and its doors have been closeS against the Church- going population for nearly two years." TJe parish above referred to is that of Ansty; and the correspondent < a » contemporary states he " was informed by aperson who resided in tjfcs immediate neighbourhood, that but for the timely interference of ties Rural Deans, the Church of Ansty would have become extinct. By their strenuous exertions it has again been opened, and is nowserssa everv Sunday by the Perpetual Curate of the adjacent parish .•£ Swallowcliffe, for whom, through the liberal con ributions of 4hs charitable and benevolent, they have been euab'ed to build a SEK£ parsonage, and thus to establish a resident Minister in a district containing 703 souls, before almost entirely destitute of spiritasi comfort and assistance." The writer aids—" One tact is wortki* hundred arguments. From this case we ma/ clearly see what srffi become of the Protestant Church's when left to the care and ! iii « - s: - of Romanists.

The Consol Market has been very inanimate during the week, but 5 » th yesterday and to- day the Market has been rather more buoyant, and the quotation for the Account at the close of business this after- noon was 91K 56. Exchequer Bills during the week have been at 1" to 19, but they have since rallied to 18 to 20; and India Bonds are steady at 3 to 5. in the Foreign Stock Market there is nothing of moment to notice, the general appearance of the Transatlantic Bonds is flat; Chilian Uonds are 49 to 50; Columbian Bonds are 32% ; and Mexican 36^ 37. The Northern Bonds fully support the prices of last week ; •• tint the speculation has been on a very limited scale. Belgian Stock is I03J£ ; Russian Bonds are 109!£ 110; and Dutch Five per Cents. 1035aSpanish Bonds have attracted some little notice, but little • variation in value the closing price this afternoon was 47$£ 48. In Portuguese Stock the market is rather tinner than for some time past, 83K Yj: was the closing price of the Five per Cents. In none of the other Stocks is there anything doing.

On the 29th, the Senate voted 600,000 dollars for the construction and equipment of floating steam- batteries, and passed a bill for the increase of the engineers. They resolved that whatever sums may be necessary for the defence of the country should be placed at the - disposition of the executive Government. The Assembly of the - State of New York has most warmly taken up the question at issue between the United States and France. On the 23d of January, that body agreed to some angry resolutions of which the following" is the most important:—" Resolved, that however highly we may regard the importance of commercial intercourse with Frauce; and " however much we regret and deprecate any occurrence that may have disturbed the friendly relations existing between the Govern- ments, yet we cannot hesitate to justify and support the administra- tion in the stand it has assumed, declaring that an apology to a foreign nation for the performance of an official act in any commu- nication from one department of government to another, in this - country, is impossible. The President's Message has been received in Paris, and the funds at once fell i per cent. The French papers of Thursday, however, do not entertain any very serious apprehensions of a ho'stile result, but most of them regard the intelligence as likely to carry the late Ministers back into office. WEST SURREY CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION.— A numerous and lighly respectable meeting of noblemen and gentlemen, freeholders - of the western division of the county of Surrey, was held on Friday at the Swan Inn, Chertsey, for the purpose of establishing a branch Conservative Association.

The meeting was addressed by the noble • Chairman, Mr. Barclay, Colonel Stapleton, and other gentlemen, in speeches of very considerable eloquence and power, showing the ab- solute necessity there existed for the establishment of a branch asso- • ciation, with a vii w to the protection of the Conservative interest in that division of the county. A series of resolutions to effect this object were agreed to amidst general approbation. The Gazette of Friday contains the order of the Speaker, in pur- suance of the Act of the 42 Geo.
