AMARRIEDCLERGYMAN, formerly of Trinity College, Cam- brige, who receives into his family six Pupils, has at present TWO VA- CANCIES. He is the minister of a most respectable congregetion at one of the finest towns in France, to which he is licensed by the Bishop of London. Having done with school, the young persons of this establishment come to France for the purpose of learning the French language; and, at the same time for the attain- ment of such other branches of liberal knowledge as are generally deemed indis- pensable. in the education of gentlemen, to qualify them for society and business. The advertiser has been engaged in these pnrsuits many years, during which he has never once found it necessary for a young man of assiduity and perseverance in study to stay with him more than 12 months, whilst in many instances, where a certain progress in the French language, and other useful things, bad been pre- viously made, 6 or 9 months, varying with circumstances, have proved sufficient. In these brief periods, and without neglecting their classics, his pupils have suc- ceeded in speaking and writing the French language well, and, as a necessery con- sequence, have become better acquainted with their own language ; to which, however, they have given every day an exceedingly careful separate attention, not only with a view to an enlarged and critical knowledge of its proper grammar, and to principles of composition, but, above all, to a pure and correct oral practice, the latter being, as he believes, an accomplishment that can gene- rally be gained only in the early part of life. They have also, and with peculiar pleasure to themselves, diligently applied to history and geography as inseparable studies, and have been introduced to an acquaintance with the laws and consti- tution of their native country, and with moral and political philosophy, after Blackstone, Paley, and other eminent and . attractive writers. The house affords to four of the^ e young gentlemen single bad rooms, and to two of them a large and comfortable double bedded room. Its position, on the side of a hill, covered with villas, is remarkably beautiful, and it has the advantage of being near to the best sea bathing on the coast of France, where everything is provided, at a trifling charge, that can ensure the safety and promote the enjoyment of the bathers, with their instruction in the art of swimming. A lady, who is a native of Paris, lives in the family to afford the pupils a constant opportunity of conversing in the French language. To a parent> who may desire that his son should learn this lan- gnage in a proper manner, and who might also approve of his passing a short time on the continent, with a view to that great and general improvement which, under prudent direction, is its common effect on the youthful mind, the oppor- tunity, it is hoped, would be found favourable in every respect. References will be given as to the success of the advertiser's pupils, and in testimony of the happy manner in which they have all passed their time with him. The terms are . i' 30 for three calendar months paid in advance, according to the custom of the country, but free from extra charges of every kind, except for washing, books, and stationery, if wanted, and 5s. in each quarterly bill for a seat at Church. Apply, post paid, to George Reynell, Esq., 3, Hans- place, Sloane- street, London.

The French Ministerial arrangements have been at length com- pleted. M. Thiersis appointed President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs; Count Montalivet, Minister of the Interior; M. Sauzet, Minister of Justice and Keeper of the Seals; M. Passy, Minister of Commerce; and M. Pelet de la Lozere, Minister of Public Instruction. No allusion being made to the other depart- ments of the State, it is understood that Marshal Maison, Admiral Duperre, and Count D'Argout remain as formerly, Ministers of the War, Marine, and Finance Departments. In our last Monday's edition we gave some details of the execution of Fieschi, Pepin, and Morey, which took place on Friday morning at the Barriere St. Jacques. Fieschi conducted himself to the end with the same insane swaggering that had marked his conduct throughout. Pepin denied bis guilt; and the death of Morey seemed to be that of a man who felt himself to be innocent. The conduct of the whole affair reflects much discredit on the French system of cri- minal jurisprudence.— Thousands of persons attended to witness the execution, and the frivolous and even ferocious gaiety, too often dis played by a Parisian mob on similar occasions, was exhibited in the impatientand at the same time jocular criesof the spectators, several of whom loudly and laughingly exclaimed, " Hats of— drama is about to commence ! " The entire of the fatal ceremony occupied but the brief space of five minutes, it being exactly that time after eight o'clock when the reeking axe fell upon the last ofthe criminals. Dozens of pails of water were poured 011 the scaffold by the men who had assisted in the tragedy, and afterwards on the pavement beneath, which was for a considerable space deluged with blood. The remains of the executed men were then carried off under an escort; and the carpenters began to take down theguillotine and its scaffold, precisely the same that were used in the execution of King Louis Philippe's father, and of the thou, sand others guillotined during the first Revo- lution. The advices from Bayonne are to the 20th inst., at which period the Carlist Generalissimo, Count de Casa Eguia, continued at Sornoza. Operations appeared to be suspended at all points, owing to the great quantity of snow which had recently fallen. The report was afloat at Bayonne, but required confirmation, that the Algerine legion had alone been permitted to cross the French territory from the Aldudes to Ilendaye, in order to be conveyed from the latter place to St. Sebastian. According to letters from Corunna of the 4th, the Carlists had made a spirited attack upon the fort of Cerezal, the Commandant of which had been wounded on the departure of the courier. All letters from the United States concur in the opinion that the mediation of England will be accepted, and that the dispute between France and America may be considered at an end.— The Bill for granting a new charter to the Bank of the United States had passed the House of Representatives in the State of Pennsylvania, and no doubt existed of its becoming law. The renewal of the charter is for thirty years, and the conditions on which it is renewable are— to pay to the State of Pennsylvania a bonus of three millions of dollars ; to subscribe to certain railroads in that State half a million of dollars ; and to lend to the said State of Pennsylvania six millions and a half of dollars ; from all of which it would appear that the Legislature of that State has driven a hard bargain with the Bank. JAFHET IN SEARCH or A FATHER.— Captain Marryat is becoming every day more and more popular ; at this we are not surprised^ Perhaps less strikingly brilliant than his Peter Simple, and not so touchingly natural as his . Jacob Faithful, Japhet is, however, more reflective, contains a deeper meaning, and a thorough insight into the different phases of life. Incidents are introduced so naturally, and clothed with language so appropriate, that the reader at once acknowledges, that if they be not actually true, they bear the impress of the most palpable truth. The Captain may well be called the Smollett of his day. In Lady Charlotte Bury's forthcoming novel, The Devoted, it is said that the noble authoress has sketched to the very life a pompons Peer ridiculously devoted to etiquette— a titled lady devoted to am- bition, without any scruples as to the means by which she pursues is — a young Member of Parliament devoted, not so much to his con- stituents as to dissipation— a popular preacher devoted to love— and a confidential servant devoted to revenge against his employer. The idea is new, and there" can be no doubt of its adequate fulfilment in the hands of the able authoress of Flirtation. Captain Chamier's new tale ofthe sea, Ben Brace, the Last of Nelson's Agamemnons, is likely to become highly popular, not only among all grades of the naval service, but among all classes of readers. No kind of adventure is regarded with such deep interest by Englishmen as that connected with the perils of the ocean; for, as a maritime people, we are naturally curious about that kind of life and enterprise by which our riches have been increased, and our glory as rulers of the waves attained. In " Ben Brace," our great i^ val battles are vividly recorded, particularly those wherein Nelson wpn his immortal renown. We have seen nothing for rich humour, since the inimitable novels of Smollett, comparable to Tom's Wedding in this capital story. A project is on foot for erecting a monument to the memory of the late WILLIAM COBBETT. In reply to some observations by Lord ASHBURTOS in presenting a petition from St. John's, Nova Scotia, the Marquess of LANSDOWNE announced that Government had 110 intention to propose any altera- tion in the timber duties. A discussion then ensued on the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill. It was ultimately agreed, on the motion of Lord ELLEN BOROUGH, that the various petitions having relation to the Bill should be referred to a Select Committee. The Bill in the meantime was read a second time. TUESDAY. Lord WHARNCLIFFE brought forward his promised motion on the subject ofthe local Magistrates lately appointed under the Munici pal Reform Act. The Noble Lord went at considerable length into details to show that much political partiality had been exhibited in the nominations to the Magistracy, and concluded by moving for returns of the persons appointed.— Lord MELBOURNE, after attempt- ing to refute the statements of the Noble Lord who preceded him, acceded to the motion, except as to some minute particulars, which it was not in his power to furnish.— The Earl of WIKCHILSEA recom- mended Lord Wharncliffe not to withdraw his motion.— The Dnke of WELLINGTON, with his accustomed clearness and force, described the conduct of Government in managing the working of the Munici- pal Reform Bill. " The nomination of the present Magistrates," observed the Noble Duke, " has not given general satisfaction. The statements of the Noble Lord himself have clearly proved that it was a party nomination. ( Hear, hear.) Is there any man in this House who does not believe that it was a party nomination ? And these are nominations made by the Secretary of State, while the Lord Chancellor is the person who ought to have advised the Crown as to the appointments. This, my Lords, is a subject well deserving the serious attention of Parliament, because I do say that the conduct of the Noble Lord the Secretary o£ State is quite and irreconcileably inconsistent with the principle of the measure."— The LORD CHAN- CELLOR said a few words, and Lord WHARNCLIFFE replied, when the motion, as slightly altered, was agreed to, and their Lordships adjourned till Thursday. THURSDAY. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY gave notice of his intention to move, on Thursday next, that a message be sent to the Commons requesting a copy of the Report of the Select Committee on Orange Societies. The Noble Marquess stated that his object was to repel the base insinuations which had been elsewhere made against him. He treated with scorn the insinuation that he was capable of joiuing in a plan for changing the succession, and ascribed the whole charge to the malignity of party spirit. " He felt it to be is duty not to lose a single moment in giving notice of the motion with which he had prefaced his remarks ; and when he brought the subject forward, he should deem it also his duty to read the communication which had been sent to him verbatim, as well as the answer which he had re- turned ; and he believed he should be in a condition to show, that as far as he himself was concerned, never was there less ground for attack upon any individual, inasmuch as with the party connected with such societies he had no connexion whatever, good, bad, or indifferent."— Lord WYNFORD expressed his satisfaction that the Noble Marquess had taken up the subject, and intimated his inten- tion of having given such a notice himself. FRIDAY. The Earl of HADDINGTON presented a petition, praying that the time might be extended for repayment of the moneys advanced by Government for the building of workhouses under the Poor Law Act. — In reply to a question from Lord ELLENBOROUGH, Lord MEL- BOURNE stated that certain alterations in the same Act of Parliament were under the consideration of his Majesty's Ministers. An inquiry by the Earl of WINCHILSEA, as to the mode intended to be adopted by Government to " discourage Orange societies," then gave rise to a conversation on the subject of those societies; and His Royal Highness the Duke of CUMBERLAND came forward to state that, in obedience to the wish expressed by his Majesty, he had thought it his duty to advise the Orange societies of England and Ireland to dissolve themselves without delay.— The Earl of WIN- CHILSEA made the same declaration on his own behalf; and, after a few words from Lord MELBOURNE, the subject dropped. The Marquess of LONDONDERRY subsequently made some strong observations on certain parts of the conduct of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland; but the Noble Marquess did not conclude with submitting any motion on the subject to the House. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY A protracted and interesting debate took place on the general subject of railroads. The immediate question before the House was a motion by Lord W. LENNOX, for the second reading of the London and Brighton Railway Bill, which was at length postponed for eight days, on a division, ' when the numbers were— for the postpone- ment, 2Tf; against it, " 5.— This was the first division under the new system adopted by the House, and occupied above three- quarters of an hour.— During the discussion, Mr. P. THOMSON announced his intention of proposing a Committee on the subject of railroads. In answer to a question, M. RIDLEY COLBORNE stated that the Committee in the case of Mr. O'CONNELL and Mr. RAPHAEL had resolved to exclude the public, from a feeling that they would in that manner best promote the ends of justice. O11 the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL for the second reading ofthe English Tithes Commutation Bill, a long and desultory discussion took place, originating in a wish expressed by Sir E. KNATCHBULL and other Members for so much delay as would admit of a more ex- tended circulation ofthe Bill throughout the country, but ultimately, spreading into an examination of the details ofthe measure by several Hon. Members.— Sir. R. PEEL, after replying, with much animation, to some attacks on the landed interest by Mr. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY, stated that, while he approved of the principle of the Bill— the commutation of tithe— he objected to recourse being had to com- pulsion, before sufficient experience had been acquired, from the operation of the voluntary system, of the basis on which compulsory measures ought to be founded. The Right Hon. Baronet concluded by expressing, with marked emphasis, his hope " that no Bill would pass the House that did not full justice to the Clergy. "— The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed pro forma on next Monday week. Some conversation took place on the motion of the ATTORNEY- GENERAL for the second reading of the Bill to amend the Municipal Corporation Act.— Dr. BOWRING instanced a great " omission that had crept into the original Bill."— Colonel SIBTHORPE complained of the surreptitious manner in which it was attempted to pass the pre- sent Bill through the House; and other Members made different remarks, after which the Bill was read a second time.— Sir R. PEEL wished to know when the return of Municipal Magistrates would be laid on the table; and Mr. BARING said something in reply which, as usual with that Hon. Gentleman, was inaudible. or association, whenever or wherever assembled, having secret forms of initiation, and being bound together by any religious ceremony, and with secret signs and passwords for recognition of members of such bodies, and who shall not withdraw from such societies or associations on or before the expiration of one month after the publication of any proclamation which his Majesty mav be pleased to direct to he issued hereupon, forbidding their continuing to be members of such Orange Lodges, Societies, and Associations." — Lord JOHN RUSSELL, in a conciliatory manner, abstained from going through the multifarious allegations of Mr. HUME, and after some general observations on the dangerous" tendency of secret socie- ties, announced the intention of Government to consider the being a member of such societies as a cause for exclusion from civil or magis- terial office under the Crown. The Noble Lord concluded by moving, as an amendment, a resolution for an address to the King", praying his Majesty to discourage Orange associations and other secret societies. A discussion of some length followed, Col. PERCEVAL, Lord STANLEY, Sir R. PEEL, and Mr. SHAW urging the withdrawal of the words especially naming the Orange societies. Lord J. RUS- SELL declined to accede to the proposal.— The gallery was then cleared for a division, but none took place, and the resolution of Lord JOHN RUSSELL was agreed to.— Adjourned till Thursday. THURSDAY. Mr. ASHLEY asked whether the Government, in naming a Bishop- to the See of Durham, intended to separate the duties of the Sea from those of the Custos Rotulorum ?— Lord J. RUSSELL answered that the subject was under consideration. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then presented the following answer of his Majesty to the address of Tuesday last respecting Orange Lodges:— " I willingly accede to the prayer of my faithful Commons, that I will be pleased to take such measures as may seem to me to be ad- visable for the effectual discouragement of Orange Lodges, and generally of all political societies, excluding all persons of ; t different religious faith, using secret signs and symbols, and acting by means of associated branches. It is my firm determination to discourage all such societies in my dominions ; and I rely with confidence on the fidelity of my loyal subjects to support me in this determination., T Lord F. EGERTON presented a petition from paper manufacturers on the subject, of the paper duties, praying that they might be equalised, and the laws thereon revised.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated_ that the subject was one of great importance. He admitted that it had been and was under the consideration of Government; and that when he brought forward the financial state- ment for the year he would explain the views of Government. A long discussion then took place on a motion by Mr. LENNARB, for returns relating to corporal punishments in the army. The returns were ordered. Mr. LYNCH received permission tobringina Bill to repeal the Act of the Irish Parliament prohibiting Popish Priests from solemnizing marriages between Papists and Protestants.— Mr. Serjeant JACKSOJI and Colonel PERCEVAL concurred in stating their intention to oppose the measure in every stage; and Mr. F. SHAW thought the Bill took too narrow a range. Several divisions took place on the question of adjournment, which was ultimately carried, after keeping the House sitting till near four o'clock on Friday morning. FRIDAY. Mr. J. MAXWELL announced, on the part of the Duke of Cumber- land, the determination expressed by his Royal Highness in the House of Lords, with respect to Orange Ledges ; and Lord J. RUS- SELL read a letter from the Illustrious Duke, acquainting the Noble Lord of the same fact. Lord J. RUSSELL having moved the Order of the Day for the House to go into Committee of Supply, Mr. MACLEAN brought for- ward his promised proposition ( by moving that some papers should be laid on the table forthwith,) regarding the permission given by the Government to English subjects to mingle in the contests carrying on between rival parties contending for the throne of Spain. He maintained that it was, in fact, an interference on the part of this country in the Spanish war, aud as such most culpable, the pro- fessed policy of the Government being non- intervention.— Sir JOHK ELLEY, with graphic minuteness, explained all the operations of Col. Evan's legion. The Gallant Member observed that at this moment the hospitals were more crowded than the ranks, and stated his be- lief that, without a large numerical addition to its force, the legion would be found totally inadequate to its object.— Lord MAHON sup- ported the motion, and the views taken by the Hon. Mover. " If,"' said his Lordship, " Donna Christina be ( as is stated) supported by a great majority of the Spanish people, that majority is capable of securing her success; and, if she be not supported, upon what ground do we interfere ?"— Lord PALMERSTON contended that there had not been permission in the sense contended for by others r all that the Government had done was to repeal a prohibition that had been enacted, thereby leaving the subjects of the realm amenable to the common law.— Sir R. PEFT., in a most brilliant address, contended that there was nothing in the quadruple treaty requiring the repeal of the Foreign Enlistment Act; that its repeal was a proceed- ing of partisanship ; and that if such armies were triumphant, he should have some alarm as to the disposition of such force hereafter. After a few observations from Sir J. HOBHOUSE and Mr. T. Dux- COMBE, the debate was adjourned. COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS— The first, public assembly for the season of this erudite body, took place on their spacious premises in Pall- mall East, on Monday evening, and was crowded in the extreme. Long before the appointed hour of meeting, nine o'clock, the library, well as the gallery surrounding it, were thronged w'*' ---- » — TUESDAY. Mr. TULK moved the second reading of Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S Com- pensation Bill.— Mr. LAWSON exposed the system of canvassing that had been pursued in order to procure petitions in favour of the Bill, and moved as an amendment, that it be read again that day six months. — After a short conversation the House divided— for the postpone- ment, 125; against it, 81.— The Bill was of course lost. Mr. HUME, after a speech of great length, moved the following resolutions:— " That this House, taking into consideration the evidence given before the Select Committee appointed to inquire into the nature, extent, character, and tendency of Orange Lodges, Associations, or Societies in Ireland, and of Orange Institutions in Great Britain and the colonies ; and seeing that the existence of Orange Societies is highly detrimental to the peace of the community, by excit- ing discord amongst the several classes of his Majesty's subjects ; and seeing that it is highly injurious to the due administration of justice that any Judge, Sheriff, Magistrate, Juryman, or any other person employed in maintaining the peace of the country, should be bound by any secret obligation to, or be in any combina- tion with, any association, unknown to the laws, and founded upon principles of religious exclusion, that even if justice were impartially administered under such circumstances, which is in itself impossible, yet any connection with such so- cieties would create suspicions and jealousies detrimental to the peace and good government of this country. " That Orange Societies, and all other political societies, which have secret forms of initiation and secret signs, and are bound together by any religious ce- remony, are especially deserving of the severest reprobation of the House, and should no longer be permitted to continue. " That an humble Address be presented to his Majesty, that his Majesty will be graciously pleased to direct measures to be taken to remove from the public service at home and abroad every Judge, Privy Councillor, Lord Lieutenant, De- puty Lord Lieutenant, custos rotulorum, Magistrate, militia officer, inspector, chief constable ofthe constabulary and peace preservation force, every officer of police in Ireland, and every functionary employed in the administration of justice, and in maintaining the peace of the country, who shall attend the meetings of j any Orange Lodge, of any Ribbon Lodge, or of any other political club, institution, as tnrongea with visiters, except the space attbe east end, set apart for the President, and the more elevated in rank of the expected company. Soon after nine Sir Henry Halford entered, followed by a great number of distinguished persons, including Lords Melbourne, Lausdowne, Ilarrowby, and Westmoreland; the Archbishops of York and Canterbury, the Bishops of London, Hereford, Exeter, and Landaff; most ofthe Judges, both in law and equity, & c. After reposing for a few minutes in the President's Chair, Sir Henry, who was distinguished by the brilliant star of the Guelphic Order, rose and delivered an oration, the main subject of which was to call the attention of the hearers to the death- bed scenes of some of the most eminent English philosophers, and to the noble testimonies which they had given in their dying moments to the efficacy of the truths of the Gospel. In the last mo- ments of Bacon, Boyle, Newton, Locke, Addison, and Dr. Johnson, were traced evidences of piety as pure as their intellectual qualifica- tions were brilliant; and the subject was treated with a fervour and grace which reflected great credit upon the learned orator, who had chosen so well, and treated so ably, this interesting theme. In dis- cussing the character of Locke, he seized with peculiar tact upon the circumstance of that great man having been originally bred to the medical profession, as a proof that its studies naturally led the mind to those profound results which were so remarkably characteristic of Locke. ROYAL DISPENSARYFOR DISEASES OF THE EAR.— On Thursday last the twentieth annual general meeting of the Governors of this Insti- tion, was held at the Dispensary, Dean- street, Soho- square, when a highly satisfactory report of the operations of the Charity during the past year was read by the Secretary; after which a vote of thanks was passed to the consulting Physicians, Sir Henry Halford and Sir Mat- thew Tierney, and to John Harrison Curtis, Esq., the Director and Surgeon. The latter gentleman, in returning thanks to the meeting for the terms of approbation in which it had noticed his unwearied care and attention to the Dispensary patients during the year, said it was a source of much pleasure to him to learn from his niimerons foreign correspondents that the mode of treatment employed at the Royal Dis- pensary had; been followed with distinguished success on the Continent. There had been often as many as 100 patients ? t the Dispensary in one day; and the consciousness of having been the means of allevi- ating the sufferings of so many of his fellow- creatures, was very gra- tifying to his own mind. The medical profession, he continued, had now become impressed with the importance of the subject; and both Examiners and Students were now directing their attention to the Ear. It was the opinion of M. Itard that structural deficiency did not exist in more than one in three cases of deaf and dumb ; but Mr. Curtis thought structural defects much rarer than even this, and added that the works of nature were rarely imperfect, and that it w; as only in a few isolated cases that a real structural deficiency exists in the organ of hearing. In proof of this, several children, born deaf and dumb, have obtained their hearing and speech at the Dispensary.— 1 he An- niversary Festival of this Institution will be held on the 20th of April, at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's- street; the Right Hon. the Earl of Lincoln, Vice- President, in the chair. Among the list of Stewards we observe the names of the Dukes of Norfolk, Rutland, and Cleveland, as well as of several distinguished noblemen and gentlemen. Mr. David Thom, the oldest resident in Coupar Angus, died there on the 12th inst., aged 103 years, which he completed in April last. He often gave a lengthened detail of the proceedings he witnessed in the rebellion of 1745, being then about 13 years of age. He retained the use of his mental powers until within a few minutes previous to his decease. February 28 JOHN BULL. 67 NAVAL AND MILITARY.

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 increased use of Senna since the first introduction of the above induces the firesent Proprietor to make it more generally known.— Prepared only by Simkin, ate Sel way, Chemist to his Majesty, 2, New Cavendish- street, Portland- place.

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 spriiflrs 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. TilE TEETH.— GREIG THOMSON, Surgeon- Dentist, 25, New Bond Street, begs to call the attention of the public to the improvement he has recently made in gold stopping, for filling decayed teeth. The advantages arising from this improvement are, that it admits of the cavity being filled with out pain, effectually arrests the progress of decay, and resembles the teeth in point of colour, much more than any other invention now in use. Gold, from its being the only ductile metal that can resist the action of the acids of the mouth, has long been deservedly considered the only material with which decayed teeth can be filled with any certainty of a permanently beneficial result, this fact must he evident to those who have had the misfortune to have their teeth filled with any of those cements to which so many attractive names are given, and to which so many miracles have been attributed ; these cements being amalgams of mercury with silver, tin, or lead, are quickly acted upon by the acids of the mouth, which, in a short tine, convert the tooth and the stoppiug into one black mass, and ultimately dissolve both ; in addition to this evil the deleterious effects of mercury upon the mouth are too well known to require further comment. G. Thomson continues to perform all the operations of Dental Surgery, and to fix natural and artificial teeth on the most improved principles combined with the utmost moderation of terms. PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE, R EG E N T- ST It E ET.—• The Public are insufficiently acquainted with the vast difference which there is in the various Offices for Life Insurance. The professions of all are pretty nearly equal, but their disparity in performance is immense. Nearly all now offer a participation in profits, in terms more or less vague ; but as few of thein make any profits, uncertainty in that respect is of little consequence. A more m iterial question is, When the claim arises, will it be paid ? or, if inconveniently large, will objections be sought for, and expensive litigations raised to defeat it? Or else, if, after the contributions have been continued for a long series of years, and the Policv is drawing towards a claim, if, from anv accident or necessity, the an nual payment be omitted on the precise day, will the Managers take advantage of the omission, refuse to renew, annul the policy, and seize on all the deposit as a clear gain ? Recent disclosures have shown that the risk of the loss of contribu- tions in this way is greater than the risk insured against. It is therefore important to know, that the security and convenience of the public in keeping up their policies are amply provided for in the following condi- tion, which is peculiar to the PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE :—" If, from any accident or necessity, parties do not renew at the stated periods, they are entitled to repair the omission at any time within a year, on the payment of a fine of 10s. per cent., and proof of health." The profits in the Provident are divided a' the end of every seven years among the members, in proportion to their respective contributions. These have prone on increasing since 1806 to 40 per cent. Only an eighteenth part of the profits is taken by the Shareholders, in consideration of their advance and guarantee of a Quarter of a Million sterling, and their exonera- tion of the other members from any loss. As the effect of these divisioas of profit ® , in addition to the policies, may be better understood by a few examples, the following are extracted from the list of claims paid during the last year:— No. of Policy. 3,622 393 2,302 3,585 973 1,637 3,937 2,930 5,962 3,175 Number of Payments. 15 29 20 16 26 23 14 17 9 16 Sums Insured.

" f* OPRESTI'S DUKE OF GLOUCESTER'S SAUCE.— The Rj increasing demand for LOPRESTI'S SAUCES and EPICUREAN CON- DIMENTS, for improving appetite and promoting digestion, and for imparting those choice flavours and* wholesome piquancy, so much admired in superior cookery, has occasioned his REMOVAL to more central and commodious Pre- mises, 199, PICCADILLY, where maybe had, in addition to his genuine articles, Economical Receipts and Directions for Flavouring and Dressing Fish, Game, Poultry, Meat, and various Dishes, & c., so as to economise both time and money in every family.— C. W. Lopresti was many years Chief Cook to his hte Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, under whose approbation " Ijopresti's Cele- brated Sauces," < fcc. were first introduced, and C. W. L. confidently declares them to be without parallel, as regards quality and flavour, and real economy and convenience, either for table or culinary use.— Venders liberally supplied. FOR the HEAD and EYES. 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^ rt. each, by the joint Proprietors, Newbery and Sons, 45, St. Paul's Church- yard, London ; and at the Printin « Office, Canal, Salisbury.

Newbery, 45, St. Paul's Church- yard," are engraved on the Stamp. HE TRUE " DR. STEER'S OPODELDOC," from its pene- trating quality, is found decidedly superior to any other external applica tion in promoting the natural circula+ ion wiien 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 Remedy has induced many persons to sell spurious imitations of it, which are without effect. That only is genuine which has the name " F. Newbery,' engraved in the Go- vernment stam on each bottle. Price 2s. 9d. Sold by F.

LONDON, FEBRUARY 28. THEIR MAJESTIES continue in town. On Tuesday the KING held a levee at St. James's ; and on Wednesday, being the day appointed for the celebration of the QUEEN'S birth- day, her MAJESTY held a drawing- room, which was most splendidly and numerously attended. The number of ladies present was not proportionable to that of gentlemen— a circumstance arising from the fact, that the female branches of fashionable families never think of coming to town for the winter, until the hot weather sets in. THOSE sceptics who even yet doubt the loving- kindness and pious veneration of his MAJESTY'S present Government for the Church of England and her Ministers, may, we think, now satisfy themselves to their " heart's content." It has pleased his MAJESTY'S advisers to appoint a Dr. HAMPDEN Regius Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxford, regardless of a host of remonstrances, and the follow- ing Address from the learned hotly itself, to which we beg to call the attention of our readers :— " We, the undersigned, beg to approach your Majesty with every sentiment of loyal and devoted affection, and to acknowledge with thankfulness the benefits which we have derived from the appoint- ments made by your Majesty's predecessors to the important office of your Majesty's Professor of Divinity in this University. " We would anxiously disclaim all wish to iuterfere with the exer- cise of this prerogative, which has been of so great benefit to our ancestors, and recently to ourselves. " We would, however, humbly submit that those who, ns has been reported to us, have recommended to your Majesty Dr. Hampden, Principal of St. Mary Hall, for this important office, cannot be suffi- ciently acquainted with the theological character of the individual whom they have recommended. " We regret to say that, from the statements of his opinions, put forth in his published works, we should appreheud the most disas- trous consequences to the soundness of the faith of those whom he would have to educate for the sacred ministry of the Church, and to the Church itself. We beg also to submit to your Majesty, that- it is verv essential to the discharge of the duties of the Regius Professor of Divinity, that he should possess the full confidence of the several persons engaged or interested in the education of young men in this place; which confidence we, unhappily, cannot repose in Dr. Hampden. " We would humbly implore your Majesty to be pleased gractously to listen to such representations as may be laid before you by the Heads of our Church, some of whom have themselves discharged the office of Regius Professor of Divinity. " We shall rely most confidently upon your Majesty's known attachment to the" Church and to the interests of religion that your Majesty will appoint a fit person for this weighty office; and we shall wait cheerfully your Majesty's decision in a matter which so deeply concerns the spiritual aud eternal interests of so many of your Majesty's subjects." In order to justify the statements made in this remonstrance, it may not be improper to subjoin a few extracts from Dr. HAMPDEN'S Bampton Lectures, delivered at Oxford, and -— CiibScq"""^ published. In the third lecture the Doctor says :— " The confusion of principles of different sciences in these promis- cuous inquiries is sufficiently apparent. But it was by such a vhilosophy that the orthodox language was settled declaring the Son begotten before all worlds ; of one substance with the Father." fBamp. Lect. iii.) " We hear of grace ' operating' and ' co- operatinggrace ' pre- venting' and ' following ;' grace of congruity, grace of condignity. But how erroneous is the conception produced in the mind by these several modes of speaking." ( Bampt. Lec. iv.) N. B. The Articles and Liturgy of the Church are here condemned. " It is important to observe accurately this physical notion of faith as an infused principle, the origin of a new life; because it seems to account for tlmt priority which is ascribed in such strong terms in our article to Faith among the acts of the Christian life." ( Bampt. Lect. v.) " From the scholastic distinction between the implicit and explicit Faith, we may trace the assertion, ' that the Fathers looked not for transitory promises, < ftc.'" ( B. L. v.) " An entire distinctness has been assumed for the soul as the living and thinking principle of man's nature. It was the established doctrine that the soul was in- fused into the body as I have before observed The notion of the separate existence of the soul has so incorporated itself with Christian theology, that we are apt at this day to regard a belief in it as essential to orthodox doctrine. Even in maintaining that such a belief is nbt essential to Christianity, I may incur the appearance of impugning a vital truth of religion." I cannot, however, help viewing this popular belief as a remnant of scholasticism." ( Bampt. Lect. vii.) " The definition, indeed, ( of a sacrament) given in the Catechism of the Church of England is exactly what the scholastic theory suggests." ( Bamp. Lect. vii.) " Articles of religious communion from their reference to the fixed objects of our faith assume an immovable character, fatally adverse to all theological improvement." ( On Dissent.) " Let the inveterate idea, that the Epistles are the doctrinal portion of Scripture, be for a while banished from the mind; and let them be read simply as the works of our fathers in the faith. The specu- lating theologian will, perhaps, answer by adducing text after text from an Epistle, in which he would contend that some dogmatic truth, some theory, or system, or peculiar view of Divine truth is asserted. But ' ichat is the chuff to the wheat ?' I appeal from the logical criticism of the Apostles' words to their apostolical spirit— from Paul philosophising to Paul preaching, and entreating, and persuad- ing."— Bampt. Lect. viii.) " Rightly, then, to understand the doctrine of the Sacraments in general, we must look to the theory of secret influences' on which it is ased, the mysterious power, conceived to belong to certain things, or actions, or persons, of effecting changes not cognizable to the senses, and changes as real as those apparent to observation. It is true, indeed, that in the Christian application of this theory, the power was not conceived to belong intrinsically to the things themselves. They were only subordinate instrumental causes by which the Divine agency accomplished its ends. The general belief in magic, in the early agency of the Church, may sufficiently account for the ready reception of such a theory of Sacramental influence. The maxim of Augustine—' Accedit verbum ad elementum, et fit sacramentwn,' appears to be, in fact, an adaptation of the popular belief respecting the vower of incantations and charms to the subject of religion This doctrine, however, of the Sacraments appears to have subsisted in the Church without questioning, and, consequently, without much precision of opinion on the subject, until the agitation of the controversies respecting the nature of Christ."—( Bampt. Lect. vii.) ' The definition, indeed, ( of a sacrament.) given in the Catechism of the Church of England is exactly what the scholastic theory sug- gests."—( Bampt. Lect. vii.) From these few specimens, out of many, the reader may form some opinion of the tenets and principles of the Reverend Doctor, who, in the teeth of such evidence, and in spite of the appeal from Oxford, has actually been appointed Regius Pro- fessor. We believe there never was a greater sensation of horror expressed than that which pervaded the University, when it became known that the Chair had been offered to this person. It had heen imagined, although the Professorship of Divinity had never before been bestowed with mere party views, that some moderate Whig of orthodox principles— if such could be found— would have been preferred to this most important post. For many hours it was not believed that Ministers could have ventured to insult the MONARCH, the University, aud even the national religion itself, by the recommendation'of Dr. HAMPDEN— it was at first treated as a joke, raised for the j o h n b u l l. purpose ttf creating a temporary laugh at the Government; but Ml en the sad reality Was ascertained, the address we have inserted was signed by seventy- five resident Masters of Arts, chiefly Fellows of Colleges, and transmitted to his Grace the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, proving, by quotations from his writings, the heretical opinions of the Reverend Doctor, who, as we have shown, represents the fundamental doctrines of Christianity as the vague dreams of schoolmen during the dark ages, and the most sacred doctrinal points of the Pro- testant faith as the delusions of supposed magic upon the minds of the ignorant and unenlightened. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY having been requested to submit this appeal and petition to his MAJESTY, his Grace, who uniformly acts with honour and candour, and being free from all guile himself, suspects it not in others, immediately waited on Lord MELBOURNE, and stated to his Lordship that he had such an Address to present. Lord MELBOURNE informed his Grace that it would be unnecessary to hurry the presentation, for that nothing would be done immediately. The Archbishop, satisfied with this assurance, retired, when, in two or three days after the interview, Lord MELBOURNE went down to Brighton, aud obtained the Royal assent to HAMPDEN'S appointment— the KING not having received the appeal from the University, and, consequently, not being aware that he teas sanctioning the appointment to the most responsible situation in the Establishment, to ichich his MAJESTY is devotedly and constitutionally attached— a man, whose business it would be, according to the principles he has asserted, and the doctrines he has avowed, to undermine aud weaken the FAITH, in support of which King CHARLES the FIRST was martyred on the scaffold, and for the mainte- nance of which Faith, this very Regius Professorship of Divinity was created and endowed. What the object of Ministers can be in forcing this Dr. HAMPDEN into the Professorship in spite of the remonstrance of the University, and we may add, of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, it is impossible to discover. It is true that amongst the many hungry Whigs who are gaping and gasping for the opportunity of grasping all the emoluments of the Establishment, it is somewhat difficult to find an orthodox Divine, or one who sincerely and purely loves the Church : but there are some few Whig Clergymen who do not absolutely hate the Establishment, and who are sound on the most im- portant doctrinal points. Why were these passed over in order to favour the most objectionable man in England, except Dr. ARNOLD ? Can it be that his MAJESTY'S Ministers, having declared war against the temporalities of the Estab- lishment, are now prepared to strike a blow at the FAITH of the country ? Have they resolved to undermine a belief in the doctrine of the Trinity, before they proceed, like the great Reformers in France, to proscribe Christianity altogether ? If these questions be difficult to answer with regard to the Professorship, what will be said or thought when it is known that in order to meet the objections against Dr. HAMPDEN, and at the same time to place him in a higher and wider field of action, armed with greater powers and invested with supe- rior dignity, Lord MELBOURNE has suggested that lie should succeed to the seat ou the Episcopal bench vacated by the death of the pious and exemplary Bishop VAN MILDERT ! If this be true— if this manifestation of hostility to the FAITH of the country has actually been made— we say to the Christians and Churchmen of England, laymen as well as Clergymen, from one end of the nation to the other, aud as it were with one voice, and that a mighty voice— SPEAK OUT ; nothing but the strongest cry, the cry of desperatiou, can save us. From the love or care of the present Government, the Church can expect nothing: we can only defend her, by showing that Ministers cannot attack the sacred principles and dearest hopes of Christian men with impunity. They must be made to feel, that after such a demonstration as that which they have made, the Church will, to a man, turn from them, and its whole weight be thrown into the scale of opposition. It is only to their fears we can now appeal. The question is not, whether a man be Whig or Tory— is he a Christian ? Is he a Trinitarian ?— Let no time be lost; let every Archdeacon call a meeting of his Archdeaconry— let heresy be denounced— let petitions be addressed to the KING, imploring his MAJESTY not to receive the nomination of his Ministers to a Bishoprick, until it has received the sanction of the Archbishop of CANTERBURY and the Bishop of LON- DON, in whom, until Lord GREY'S Administration, the power of a veto was vested. Let Oxford set the example— let a convocation be immediately summoned for this purpose, and to pass censure upon this Dr. HAMPDEN'S writings. CHRISTIANS OF ENGLAND ! BF. FIRM, BE VIGILANT, BE ACTIVE— YOUR COUNTRY, YOUR CHURCH, YOUR GOD, DEMAND THAT EVERY MAN OF YE SHOULD DO HIS DUTY. THE CRISIS HAS ARRIVED. IT will be seen that his MAJESTY has been induced to return a gracious aud favourable answer to the address of the House of Commons, aud express the Royal determination to suppress the order of Orangemen. That the establishment of Orange Lodges, founded upon the sacred principle of " FEAR GOD and HONOUR THK KING," should have awakened the most violent alarms, and excited the bitterest enmity of those men who do neither, seems perfectly natural; but that the KING'S Government should so joyously and readily accede to the abolition of a society, to the existence of which, in Ireland, very much of the very little security of life and property left in that country is attributable, cau only be accounted for as forming part of the system which they so efficiently supported, when they were pleased to disarm the Protestant yeomanry throughout the country. With respect to the speeches of those gentlemen who have belonged to the Orange Institution, we can only consider them as fresh proofs of the readiness which the Conservatives have, upon all occasions, exhibited to do away with any causes tor controversy aud irritation. AVe think our Irish fellow- countrymen may not, at first, feel disposed to agree in their compliance; but our opinion of the Institution leads us to believe that now— no matter under what circumstances obtained— the SOVEREIGN has expressed his gracious will and pleasure that it should cease and determine, its members will not for a moment hesitate in their obedience. It may cost the loyal aud affectionate subjects of a Protes- tant Monarch some pangs, to find their earnest and consistent endeavours in support of the Constitution which placed his MAJESTY'S Family upon the Throne, are so treated and so rewarded; but they know the influence tinder which they are insulted aud degraded, and they know, from the lips of that Monarch himself, what HIS OWN feelings and principles are, with regard to the support of CHURCH and STATE. As to the exposure of the unauthorised nonsense which February 28, was read to the House of Commons, it is not worth a moment's consideration. It is quite clear that Lord KENYON, than whom a more excellent man does not exist, acted incautiously in making confidences; but the Orange Institution is in no degree compromised by the letters of Colonel FAIRMAN, SO. curiously obtained by Messrs. O'CONNELL aud IIUME, and upon « liieh those excellent patriots laid so much stress. Lord LONDONDERRY and WYNFORD have given notice that they shall explain the circumstances with which their names are connected; we wait, therefore, for the explanation, with perfect confidence. That a faction disposed to insult the SOVEREIGN, to shake the stability of the Throne by the in ost daring inroads upon the Constitution, should glory in wounding a Prince of the blood, against whom the Master of the Ministers has dared to utter the grossest libels, is most natural. The fault of the Duke of CUMBERLAND is this— His Royal Highness is the bold, uncompromising champion of the prin- ciples which gave his illustrious ancestors the British Crown. He has neither guile nor deception in his mind or character ; he goes straightforward to his point and object, the mainte- nance of the Constitution ; and the consequence of this feeling* this firmness, and this resolution, has been the basest and vilest attacks of the lowest and most nefarious revolutionists. How has his Royal Highness met those attacks ?— With deserv- ed couteinpt up to a certain period, when it became iiecessary to exhibit to the nation the real character of his former inat- tention to such villainy: His Royal Highness goes into an open Court of justice, puts himself into the hands of a Jury of his countrymen, and receives from them the triumphant testimony of his honourable life and unimpeachable career. It is because the Duke of CUMBERLAND is the brave and fearless vindicator of his own honour, and that of his country, that these creatures lift their hands against him. If be con- descended to court their civilities— if, like the execrated father of the present liberal King of the FRENCH, he courted a mob, which, after existing upon his smiles, would be the first to work his ruin, his Royal Highness chose to command the shouts of the rabble, nothing ( with his Royal Highness's kind- ness, condesceusion of manner, good humour and affability) would be easier than for him to do so. But, no ! he is con- scious of the rectitude of his principles ; he knows that a sub- serviency to what are called liberal opinions, but which, in. fact, are revolutionary principles, ill become the son of GEORGE the THIRD. " That Monarch may be quoted— and thank GOD, has been quoted by our present KING, as an example to be followed by British Sovereigns. The Duke of CUMBERLAND was the favourite son of that excellent Monarch. Upon his principles ( from which, had the country never de- parted, the mischiefs now afloat would never have been engen- dered) the Duke of CUMBERLAND formed his character; and, as firm aud as uncompromising as his illustrious Sire was, so is HE. And, for this, his Royal Highness is attacked— by whom ? By the lowest and coarsest of libellers, and by Mr. JOSEPH HUME. This had better not have been. Mr. O'CONNELL, instead of settiug Mr. HUME up as the hero of the affair, and prompting him throughout his speech, and arranging the illustrative documents, already familiar to his eye, had much better have brought forward the case himself; because as a Roman Catholic nothing could be more natural than his attack upon a purely Protestant institution. In Mr. HUME'S hands the matter wore a different character, and the coarser nesses and violences in which he indulged, while vituperating the Duke of CUMBF. RLAND, might have appeared in the form of vindictiveness, arising from a contemptuous refusal some years since, on the part of his ROYAL HIGHNESS, to a pro- position which Mr. IIUME, when a Tory, ventured to suggest for his introduction into the House of Commons through the personal interest of the illustrious Duke in the borough of Weymouth. We confcss we are not without feelings of dismay at the progress of the REVOLUTION, which word, however much it may startle the reader, is the only one to use. Not only has the REVOLUTION began, but it has most effectively proceeded. The events of the last week sufficiently attest this fact; but we trust that, as the fiat has gone forth, so the Orangemen throughout the empire will feel it their duty to obey it, and not give their bitter enemies the opportunity they are evi- dently seeking, in order to fasten upon them a charge of vio- lence and intemperance. WE invite the attention of our readers to the debate upon Spanish affairs, which took place on Friday in the House of Commons, for a complete exposure of the real state of the English legion, and a perfect fulfilment of all our predictions touching the success of the legitimate Monarch, DON CARLOS. We would particularly notice the speech of Mr. MACLEAN, who deserves the highest credit for bringing forward the sub- ject, which he did in a clear and able manner, evincing a per- fect knowledge of his subject, and exposing the deplorable position of the dupes who are perishing in Spain for want of food and clothing, in the midst of sickness and disease. Sir JOHN ELLEY, in a most masterly manner, " reviewed" the proceedings of the absent representative for Westminster— his speech was in fact a master- piece of military eloquence, and during its delivery received the most marked attention from the House. Poor Lord PALMERSTON had, unfortunately for himself, to defend the cause of the absent hero and his own policy, in which laudable but difficult attempt his Lord- ship completely and entirely broke down. But the break- down was nothing compared with what followed. Sir ROBERT PEEL, in one of those speeches which we love to hear, not only as specimens of the most brilliant oratory, but as ex- hibiting to us that great Statesman roused to indignation by the madness and folly of our bitterest enemies, hurling on their devoted heads the thunder which too often, from a ifeel- ing of charity and commiseration, he keeps slumbering. One of the most absurd bits of self- gratillation in which the Noble Viscount indulged, was that, in which his Lord- ship took credit for his interference in Portugal during the struggle in that country. This display clearly proves that it is not necessary to be a wit, to have a short memory— for every- body, excepting his Lordship, must perfectly well recollect that, during the whole of the Portuguese struggle, the Noble Vis- count himself, and all his colleagues— his Lordship in the Commons, and Lord GREY in tlie Lords— declared solemnly and constantly, their rigid neutrality aud unshaken non- in- tervention. If, therefore, Lord PALMERSTON spoke truth on Friday, we may, we think, be permitted to inquire what it was that he spoke so very often, in denying that, which he now triumphantly asserts ? Mr. O'CONNELL contented himself with the recollection that he had been the first to call MINA a monster, and the reflection that he now called Don CARLOS the same. AVe January 24. ' JOHN BULL. 31 think it will be extremely agreeable to Captain PARKER, of the Rodney, to find the liero whom he entertained on board that ship, and received with yards manned, and every possible honour, denounced by the Master of all his MAJESTY'S Minsters, a monster. The debate was adjourned— and we do earnestly beg of the Conservative Members of Parliament to do their duty upon this occasion, and he will do it best who exposes iu detail the miserable state of our unhappy countrymen. Of theforce de- luded out of this country, between two and three thousand are now reported in hospital— we should say more, inasmuch as the reports refer only to general hospitals, whereas numbers of the victims are no doubt perishing either in the regimental hospitals, or in their own quarters. We say that the Government of this country has no right to barter English blood, in order to obtain the voices of the Liberals, and make war at the cheapest possible rate. This country, as Lord MAHON most ably showed, is not bound to interfere in the internal differences of Spain. If the QUEEN'S cause is so decidedly popular, it must triumph without foreign assistance; and if it be not, what right, what reason, has the British Government ( preventedby treaty from positive inter- ference) to sacrifice the blood and reputation of Englishmen by a tacit permission, and even more than a negative encourage- ment, in a conflict which is as uuworthy of, as it has proved unfortunate to, the desperate adventurers engaged in it; and which, according to the delivered opiuions of the most expe- rienced officers, never could terminate favourably, even if Captain and Brevet- Lieutenant- Colonel EVANS, with all the personal courage he is known to possess, and his taste and skill in drawing military maps, had ten thousand fresh troops, in addition to those he uotf is endeavouring to command. From the beginning of this enterprise we have foretold its results— so has Lord PALMERSTON. We think, without as- suming much upon the occasion, we may just venture to in- quire who is right ? THE efforts of a gallant General, in order to stifle the facts of the Carlow job, continue unremitting. Not only is Mr. ALEXANDER RAPHAEL incessantly assailed by persuasions and entreaties to decline making disclosures and giving evi- dence, which alone can rescue his name and reputation from obloquy and disgrace, but his brother, Mr. JOHN RAPHAEL, has from the same quarter been solicited, from fraternal feel ing, to urge this course of proceeding upon Mr. O'CONNELL'S dupe; because, should O'CONNELL be in any way dis- graced or punished for his conduct in the affair, the Ex- Sheriffs life will not be safe. This threat— which, if Mr. RAPHAEL really possess the spirit indicated by his proper exposure of O'CONNELL'S trickery and deceit, can have no effect upon his mind or con- duct— seems to us indiscreet and ridiculous; indiscreet in the highest degree, if considered seriously as implying that Mr. O'CONNELL'S partisans are prepared for the shedding of blood in revenge for a just punishment of their leader ; and, above all, ridiculous, considered in any way, inasmuch as the effect producible in England by the commitment of Mr. O'CONNELL to Newgate or the Tower, would not be greater than that which might be supposed to result from a speech of Lord PALMERSTON's in Parliament, or the rattling of a bird- clapper in a cherry- tree. One thing, however, seems more indiscreet than any other; we mean Lord MELBOURNE'S receiving the reports of these proceedings in Downing- street. L. ord MELBOURNE has de- clared upon his honour that he has never defiled himself by any personal communication upon political bargains with Mr. O'CONNELL. The offer of the Baronetcy cannot, therefore, hurt his Lordship personally; and the Minister it may damage, his Lordship can well afl'ord to part with ; but he had better get his intelligence brought to him somewhere else. WE remember to have read accounts in newspapers and magazines of the laudable efforts made in years of scarcity in this country in order to introduce potatoes as a substitute for wheaten flour. Bread was made of potatoes; potato pud- dings were daily exhibited in lieu of the virtuous " bread and batters." There wore fried potatoes as an entree, mashed Eotatoes, potato soup, potato curry, potato starch, and potato air- powder— in short, instead of toujoars perdrir, it Mas " toujours pommes de terrc.'' 1 This, however, was the result of prudence, advocated by necessity, and the plan was universally adopted by provident people with the best possible intentions ; and in those days a gentleman of feeling and morality, after having breakfasted upon potato muffins, takes luncheon of potato soup, dined upon potato curry relieved by pommes de terre < 1 la maitre ( Thotel, and consummated by a potato souffle, his fondd ac- companied with potato bread, betook himself into society, his frill— then fashionable— stiffened with potato starch, and his hair beautifully blanched with potato hair- powder. This saving system has most marvellously obtained during the present Session in the House of Commons, and appa- rently from the same reason: for want of bread we are day after day furnished politically with jiotatoes. Everything talked of, or touched upon, is flavoured by those valuable esculants. England, with her beef, is put aside to make way for the treats which are every evening served up for the enter- tainment of the country— entertainments, extremely like those described by a late Irish representative who, upon being invited by O'CONNELL to take a friendly feed of beef and potatoes, if he were not better engaged, accepted the invi- tation, telling him that his other engagement for the day was to partake precisely of the same diuuer, " barring the beef!" The consequence of this change of Parliamentary diet has been the entire absorption of the time of the House of Commons by questions strictly and purely Irish; and however important the welfare of the sister kingdom— or perhaps one might better call it the daughter kingdom, in spite of its magnificent anti- quity— it is quite clear that Irish business is thrust forward in a manner most injurious to the interests of England. The last week has been one of singular triumph, as far as conduct goes, to the Irish Orangemen, and of most extra- ordinary defeat as far as their deserts are implicated. Colonel BRUEN, who had been vilified by that foul- mouthed creature O'CONNELL, by whom the most atrocious falsehoods con- cerning the gallant Officer had been propagated, has clearly, distinctly, and triumphautly refuted every charge made against him in detail. Would we had space for the whole of the gallant Colonel's speech. AVe have inserted in another page as much of it as possible, because we believe it to be a staggering blow to false- hood aud calumny, which must most seriously damage and damnify the brazen front of the most insolent impostor that ever was permitted to bully a country and its Government. We only call attention to the PACTS— with us, they are everything. To those we refer our readers. Colonel BRUEN having seized the first opportunity of vin- dicating himself from the atrocious attacks made upon him, after some prefatory remarks, said, on Tuesday evening— Having premised so far, the first name that occurs is that of Bally- teglea. This case has been dwelt upon at every election at Carlow for these four years, notwithstanding the most absolute and unqua- lified contradiction as constantly given : I have at length succeeded in serving the necessary law process on Mrs. Nowlan's partner in the lease. If the House please, I will state shortly the facts. Her rent amounted to 861.8s. 5id. An arrear accrued of 3101.4s. 3d., any part of which she was unable to pay, neither could she properly cul- tivate the land. I sent for her, and represented this, stating the im- possibility of allowing the land to continue longer in her possession, not benefitting her or me. I offered to forgive the arrears ( cheers), and to make her a present of her cattle, stock, crop, and every thing upon the land, and a sum of money, to enable her to look out for and take another farm. ( Loud cheering.) She returned home to con- sider, was badly advised, and behaved with the utmost violence afterwards. ( Cheers.) A person named James Corcoran was ejected from the lands of Bohermore ; he abused his land, and allowed the buildings to fall to ruin; his rent was 581. 0s. 2id., arrears due 1041. 16s. Id., and this was the lowest arrear of any. Two persons named Terence and James Carty were ejected from the same place ; they likewise seriously injured the land; and the house, an old mansion- house, was so completely destroyed that it was found necessary to take it down; the rent was 501. 3s. 3d., the arrears 2261. Is. lOd. One of these men, being a well- behaved person, is allowed still to reside on the land, though no part of the arrears were ever paid. ( Cheers.) James Carty was ejected from the same place under the following circum- stances :— He became indebted to a money- lender in the neighbour- ing town. In my own defence, as landlord, I was obliged then to step in and serve ejectments. His father, an old man, he left behind. I have settled an annuity on him of 121. for his life. His rent was 651. 13s.; arrears 1901. 14s. lOd. ( Loud cheering.) The widow Harold, who, by the by, like many of the others, has been married for years, though she still retains, according ' to the custom of the country, the title of widow, was, with her husband, John Brennan, ejected from Kildrinagh, owing, at the rent of 741. 5s. 6d., an arrear of 3691.13s., her husband having previously sold the crops and run away with the money. ( Cheers.) A man named Mur- phy, holding seven acres, owing an arrear of nearly four years' rent, agreed to leave the land oil receiving a sum of money, and being forgiven the arrears. 1 afterwards made him a present of his crops ( hear, hear); for my own security ejectments were served. Long previous to my getting this land, his sister, a widow, had come from a neighbouring town, and taken possession of a shed or out- house by force. They carried on the war for a considerable time, each threatening the life of the other, to the scandal of the whole neighbourhood. At last Murphy forced her out, and threw down the shed— and I get the credit of it, although these facts are notorious to the whole country. ( Loud cheers.) One of the orphans, a young fellow, who had been ill, and to whom I, in consequence, paid a weekly pension, on his recovery, was employed by me to take care of some land, and keep off the cattle of a neighbouring farmer, w- hich were continually trespassing on it. That farmer very soon invited him to his house, and whilst my pasture was found very agreeable by the cattle, he made himself equally so to the farmer's daughter; so much so, that she robbed her father and ran away with him. Such is the history of this widow and orphan! ( Cheers and laughter.) I have been accused of destroying the village of Nurney ; there is but one vil- lage on my estate called Nurney, built by my tather, entirely at his own expense, and I have expended some thousands on it. _ The houses were slated, and neat gardens attached to each. Originally, I believe, the village was filled with Protestants. A great many- Roman Catholics have, however, since come in their place. They are asked for no rent ( cheers), nor ever have been, except in two or three instances, as a punishment for bad conduct. I do not suppose that the whole amounted to 51. Tliev have pulled down many of the houses, burned or carried away tHe woodwork, defaced the gardens, and torn up the fences. After repeated complaints of dishonesty and disorderly conduct, some few have been sent away; no freeholder amongst them. But of those who were sent away, some had houses provided for them in other places, and others got pensions. Some got nothing, owing to their own misconduct. ( Hear, hear.) I do not find the names of Ballyloughan, Knockthomas, or Knockallard, in this list of mine. The first of these was recovered by ejectment in 1827 from a farmer named Kelly, he owing more than 42 years' rent. It was let to one of the under- tenants residing on the farm, the brother of a priest, who afterwards rode about the county, at the head of a mob, canvassing against me. Twelve months ago this tenant owed me an arrear of two years' rent, and this arrear has not decreased since. I could ruin the man if I pleased; but notwith- standing my cruelty and bigotry, he remains on his farm still. ( Cheers.) Other people had cabins on the land, but received each a sum of money and went away. A11 this, however, happened nine years ago, before any political or religious dissensions had distracted the country. In Knockthomas I know but of one farm that has come into my hands for several years ; the tenant was a Protestant, and could not sublet. A Roman Catholic, however, got possession of it, and refused to give it up at the expiration of the lease. By way of annoying me, he collected as many vagabonds and poor families as the house could hold, and put me to the expense and trouble of a law process before I could get possession of my property. I did not feel myself at all called upon to do anything for these people. In Knock- allard, at the time of my leaving Ireland, but one tenant had quitted his farm. He received notice to do so, having repeatedly given me great cause for complaint; however, being an industrious man, and at the solicitation ot one of his neighbours, 1 desired my agent to make him a present of 501. ( Hear, hear.) Another man had received notice, and offered to go on receiving a sum of money, which I directed should be given. The town- land of Schahanrane, w- liere twenty- three families are stated to have received notice to quit, was leased to one tenant, who has been dead some years, at a very trifling rent. The last life in the lease, who was transported for forgery, before the rebellion of 1798, has . also been dead several years. These under- tenants have, as I am informed, paid each so much per annum for the concealment of this fact, but, as might be expected, they have quarrelled, and the truth has come to light; as a matter of course and neces- sity, I have, served notice to quit, and if they are all turned out, no man can say but that they richly deserve it. Oil the whole, continued Colonel BRUEN, then, I have ejected eight tenants in five years, being in the proportion of one out of 227 alleged in each year— each of these tenants on an average owing me more than four years and a quarter's rent. Not one of those mentioned in the petition was an eleetor; but I have ejected one who was a freeholder, owing arrears to a greater amount than any I have yet mentioned. This happened two years ago ; he has ever since resided in his house, paying no rent ( cheers), with his mother, a widow, and three brothers, desolate orphans of the tender ageof between X0andi0', strong able fellows, as capable of doing mischief, and as willing to do it, as the loudestclamourerforthe liberty of Ireland could desire ( loud and continued cheers), so much so indeed, that I shall be obliged to have them removed, and very possibly afford an opportunity for another petition. ( Hear.) I am accused of destroying whole towns and villages. ( Hear.) 1 have expended some thousands in building and repairing one, in endeavouring to make the people comfortable, and in educating their children at my own expense. ( Cheers from the Opposition " benches.) In place of being the persecutor of widows ana orphans, Jet any gentleman who may have any curiosity on the subject, inquire whether I do not support a very considerable num- ber of both who have no sort of claim on me. ( Cheers.) If, said the gallant Colonel, I were resolved on obliging Roman Catholics to leave my estates, merely because of their creed, 1 have, and have had for years, ample opportunity of doing so, of which, however, I have not yet availed myself. I have at this moment a considerable extent of land exclusively and for years occupied by them ( hear) without leases. ( Hear, hear.) Some of them owe large arrears. I have other tracts occupied by none but Roman Catholics, owing hundreds— nay, thousands of pounds, which the tenants could by no means pay, and which I could infallibly recover by ejectment. If I had that antipathy to them which is laid to my charge, could I not have long since gratified it without any one rea- sonably finding fault with me, unless it be determined that a man is to have no control whatever over his property, and to this point things are fast verging in Ireland ? ( Cheers from the Opposition benches.) But I rejoice to say that some of my warmest supporters are Roman Catholics, and this could hardly be the case if all that is stated were fact. ( Hear.) One townland, consisting of about 1,300 English acres, came into my possession ; three Protestants were the tenants, they did not reside on the laud, I took it from them, and gave it altogether to Roman Catholics. ( Cheers.,) This does not look very like religious persecution. With respect to the real character of the gentry of Carlow, perhaps the state of the country before agitation commenced there may afford no bad criterion— and a more prospe- rous, a more improving, happy, or contented population, could not be found in the empire. ( Hear.) A tolerable proof of this was, that crime or disturbance was almost unknown ; the best understanding subsisted between all ranks and classes, whilst the land, and all its produce bore ahigher price in the market, and the peasantry in general were better fed, housed, andclothed, than in almost any other part of the country. It was truly called the garden oflreland. The landlords have been so exceedingly moderate in their rents, that they often made a mistake against themselves of from 100 to 200 per cent, in the value of their farms, as a late committee must remember ; and this piece of information was obtained not from the landlords or their partisans, but from the oaths, repeated day after day, of a long string of respect- ably dressed witnesses brought ' forward by Mr. Vigors himself, under the superintendence of no less than three priests. The Carlow gen- tlemen, like others, may have their faults, but rapacity and cruelty have not been of the number. Our real crime is, that we will not bow down to the image which Daniel the king has set up ( loud cheers and laughter); and for this offence we are to be cast into the burn- ing fiery furnace of public indignation, which is to be heated one seven times hotter than usual by the ruined towns and villages, fanned by the shrieks and cries of widows and orphans. ( Cheers.) But the attempt will fail— we shall pass unhurt through these fires ; and if justice and truth be not a dead letter, our accuser will have the benefit of them himself. But if this be an offence, I must plead guilty to the charge. We are incorrigible offenders. But let us see, for a moment, how the electors and landlords of Carlow, who pre- sume to think for themselves, have been treated by those who now make this outcry against them— namely, the priests. No sooner did they perceive that the time was actually come that they had been so long watching for, than, like the soldiers of Cadmus, they started in an instant into view fully armed aud equipped ; they placed themselves at the head of the lowest, the most thoughtless of their flocks, the very dregs of the people. There, is one case ( said Colonel Bruen) mentioned as peculiarly atro- cious, and the most remarkable in point of numbers— that of Bally- tarsna. I am accused of driving from their houses there, in a wicked unchristian manner, 19 families, containing 101 individuals, with the usual liberal proportion of widows, < Src. Now, what will any honest man say when he hears that 1 never turned off one single human being, man, woman, or child, from this land? ( Loud and long- continued cheering.) That the power even to do so never was placed in my hands but once ; and how did I use it ? The House shall hear ; and now that I have told you what I did not, I will take the liberty of stating what I did do. This townland contains nearly 800 English acres. I receive 2211. 10s. 9d. yearly, not much exceeding one- fourth of the value. ( Hear.) The lease is for ever: as long, therefore, as the head rent was paid, I had no authority or pre- tence for interfering. I do not know that 1 ever was on the land in my life. The owner of this estate, who to the best of my belief I never saw, as he lived in another county, became exceedingly embarrassed, and was obliged to leave the country. Arrears to the amount, I believe, of 1,0001. were due, other creditors were pressing, and it became necessary for me to look to myself. Ejectments were therefore served; time ran on, no creditor " found it his interest to redeem, and 1 had every prospect of getting possession of the estate, and of adding many hundreds per annum to my income, and that without any Blame that by possibility could be imputed. And how did this desolator of towns and villages, this tyrant, bigot, persecutor, fiend— 1 use the exact terms of the Learned Gentleman ( cheers), with a countenance scarcely human— this tormentor of widows and orphans ( laughter), this modern Phalaris regaling himself with the shrieks of his victims— this Tory, this Orangeman, this Conservative— how did he behave? What did he do? The tenants on the land were, I believe, exclusively Roman Catholics. He ordered the ejectments to be with- drawn and the debt to be received by such instalments as the distressed tenant could conveniently pay. ( Continued cheering.) I have made the following memorandum on this point:—" The inhabitants have ever since been my most implacable enemies." ( Cheers.) Now, I beseech the House to msjrk the truly diabolical artifice by which a retreat is attempted to be secured here: for to this, I suppose, is to be applied the postscript, " One of these townlands not being in the possession of Colonel Bruen at the time the tenantry were ejected." Why, then, was it mentioned ? Would any man who had a spark of decency, not to mention honesty or good feeling, in his composition, have first deliberately charged a nother with committing a crime, have first coolly planted a dagger in his back, left it rankling in the wound, and then, in a sort of appendix, a second or third edition, have insinuated or hinted that possibly the accused was not quite so guilty, not having been exactly at that very time in a situation to commit the offence ? ( Hear.) But here again the character of the inventors and propagators of this atrocious falsehood breaks out— the cloven foot again appears. Thev well know every particle of the case, and that I have not, and never had, any authority over this land, some of the most misch; evous and active of their own followers residing on it. I think, moreover, that there is an additional false- hood. Father Phelan states, that Ballytarsna is in the same parish as the rest of the townlands, whereas, I believe, it is in Mr. Tyr- rell's; if, however, my supposition be incorrect, then it is in his own parish, and he must have known that every word he uttered was false, although his statements were made on a Sunday with his congregation around him, who must likewise have known the falsehood of the charge; tut that is a matter of small conse- quence, an occasion wan to be served, the end justifies the means. I trust I have co » '. inced the House, even from the im- perfect information I can coramand, that most of the charges in the petition lately presented, at e gross and wilful mistatements; and that the others are so distorted, perverted, and exaggerated, that they scarcely bear any resemblance to the truth. ( Cheers.) I now sit down, confidently submitting that I have redeemed my pledge, and shown that the assertions oFthe Learned Member, with respect to me, are as worthy of credit as those he is in the habit of making. ( Prolonged cheering.) We consider this speech of Colonel BRUEN to be most im- portant ; it gives the lie in detail to all the statements of the man, who himself tells us he has an influence which he could not possess in a well- regulated Government!— and yet he " reigns and rules, without control." AVE have already called attention to the article on the Division of the Chancellorship in the last number of The Law Magazine. We quote the following passage, on the results of popular elections, for the sake of the pregnant example it conveys:— " Even as things stand at present, the House of Lords con- stitutes the sole deliberative assembly we possess, and should the practice of exacting pledges, dictating instructions, and bullying Members at public meetings, grow into general adoption, it will soon be the sole assembly where any thing like an adequate representation of the talent, property, inde- pendent character, high principle, and real enlightenment of the country will be found. ' When ( says M. de TOCQUEVILLE) you enter the Chamber of Representatives at Washington, you feel struck by the vulgar aspect of this great assembly. The eye often looks round in vain for a man of celebrity within its bosom. Almost all the Members are obscure per- sonages, whose names present no image to the thought. They are for the most part village lawyers, traders, or even men belonging to the lowest classes. In a country where educa- tion is almost universally diffused, it is said that the repre- sentatives of the people do not always know how to read and write. " 1 Two paces off is the entrance of the Senate, whose nar- row precincts contain a large proportion of the celebrities of America. Hardly a man is to be seen in it who does not recal the idea of" a recent illustration. These are eloquent Advocates, distinguished Generals, able Magistrates, or tried statesmen. Every word that escapes from this Assembly would do honour to the greatest Parliamentary debates of Europe.' " The cause of the difference, as he explains it, is, that the Chamber of Representatives emanates directly from the peo- ple, and the Senate does not. Is it rationsd to fancy that the 594 JOHN BULL. February 28, same causes may produce similar effects in this country, when ( if ever) the counteracting influences shall be removed ? "— The Law Magazine, No. xxxi., p. 141. OUR readers are well aware of the opinion we have enter- tained of Railways, and most heartily glad are we that the House of Commons have, during the last week, taken these visionary schemes into their serious consideration. Among the many letters we have received on this subject, we have selected one, containing some most* sensible and ap- posite observations, and we give it entire, as it shows, while the people are ciying out against direct taxation from the Government itself, they are passively and silently submitting to indirect taxation to an enormous extent, from the monopoly granted to these Railway Companies by the sanction of Go- vernment and Parliament. TO JOHN BULL. Sir,— From the very sensible remarks I have some time observed in your valuable journal on railways, I have presumed to trouble you with a few remarks as showing the extreme baneful effects of such monopolies on the welfare of the community, and likewise to prove how much the greater portion of the public are deluded by these schemes, without calmly and dispassionately considering what the real consequences of such monopolies will be on the general trade of the country. Any undertaking requiring the sanction of Parliament to infringe upon or to destroy the properties of others ( as railways), in order to empower the projectors to fulfil their schemes, ought to be considered seriously on the three following points:— lst. As to practicability. 2nd. As to public utility. 3rd. As to the best means of rendering it beneficial to the commu- nity at the least possible charge, or tax. With regard to the first point, proof sufficient is generally produced to satisfy and justify the sanction of the Committee. The second consideration has not hitherto been in my opinion suffi- ciently attended to. Private and particular interests have exerted their influence :— local advantages have excited partisans to the undertaking; and the tact of getting up evidence, united with abundance of means to harass and overpower the opposition of parties whose property may be injured, have prevailed; and the question of public utility— or in other words, whether the advantages held out by the projectors for the public good, are so sufficiently and substantially proved to the Committee as to justify the House of Commons in sanctioning a private wrong, is completely forgotten. The two first essential points having been clearly established, it becomes highly important and seriously incumbent on the Legisla- ture to consider in what manner such schemes shall be carried into effect, so as to render them beneficial to the whole community at the least possible charge. I would here remark that, as Parliament seem now to be alive to the necessity of their interference in these matters, and the feeling of the House, although inclined to sanction these projects, is decidedly against more than one from any one place, it is very obvious that every railway sanctioned by Parliament re- ceives A GRANT OF A MONOPOLY, and, therefore, every fraction re- alized by the shareholders in dividends, beyond the rate of interest paid by the Funds, will be an indirect tax on the whole community for the benefit of a few individuals who have planned the scheme. I am well aware, I shall be here met with the observation, that these railways will reduce prices, & c. < fcc., and increase the general pros- perity of the kingdom— therefore the charges for freight and passen- gers on them will be nothing in comparison to the advantages. Into the question of the future good or evil of these schemes— in my opinion quite Utopian— I shall not digress, but regard them, as a wise and patriotic Conservative does the Reform Bill, and consider, that as railways are to be permitted throughout the kingdom, whether the ge- neral good would not be more wisely consulted, by carrying into effect these plans by different measures, to granting such monopolies to the different companies. In my humble opinion ( and I am fully prepared to enter into lengthened details) these railways ough t to be Government measures, and not joint- stock monopolies. When the two yw- rfpoints of PRACTICABILITY and of TUBLIC UTILITY are found, Government might easily raise funds sufficient by loan and creation of a Rail- way Stock, bearing 3i or 4 per cent, interest, with dividends payable at the Bank. The public, by such a plan, would really have the benefit of these railways, for it would only be necessary to fix the rates of freight, < fcc., at such a scale as should pay the expenses and the interest on the stock, and it must be clear to every arithmetician that the public would certainly gain the difference between 4 per cent, and 10 per cent., which is the lowest anticipated profit held out by all these projectors of railways, & c. A few observations on canals, which were in their origin similar to railways, will forcibly illustrate my argument. There are many which have paid enormous profits to the shareholders, and which profits, beyond proper interest on capital, I maintain have been in- direct taxation on the whole community, and might have been saved, if Government had formed such canals. Take the Bridgewater canal — it has been most profitable to the proprietors— in other words, the community have been taxed as heavily ( near 50 per cent.) as the goods conveyed between Liverpool and Manchester would bear. This tax is paid in the first instance by the manufacturer, and ultimately falls on the consumer. However, if it should be determined that these schemes are to be carried on by joint stock companies receiving the sanction of Parlia- ment, I certainly hope some restrictions will be made to guard against the future contingency of the railways being abandoned. There ought to be a restriction not to pay more than a certain dividend— the surplus revenue to be funded, so that the necessary and unavoidable annual expenses of the railway for repairs, & c., shall be hereafter provided for by the interest of such fund. This I conceive to be a most important and necessary precaution, as it is allowed that the annua! expense of repairs, dfcc., when a railway is finished and in operation, will be one thousand pounds per mile. If then the annual charge and expense, before any profit can ' arise on the LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM, or the GREAT WESTERN, will exceed ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS, surely Parliament ought to take care that the profits are not wholly divided. In the first few years, when every thing is new and in order, the wear and tear will be comparatively small; and on the other hand the traffic will no doubt be greater than subsequently, when other channels may open. But a few years hence, should the expenses increase, and the profits decrease, are the public to submit to the charges, & c., being raised, to keep up the enormous dividend the shareholders have been accustomed to receive ? Apologising for trespassing so much on your valuable columns, I will not now further pursue the subject, but will, with your permis- sion, at some future time; yet I trust 1 have written sufficient to prove that railways are monopolies, through which the public will be indirectly taxed to an enormous amount, unless Parliament wisely interfere to prevent such serious injury to every branch of theagricul- tural as well as commercial interests. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Greenwich, Feb. 23, 1836. E. C. Having given insertion to this most worthy letter, we beg to subjoin a versification of the miseries likely to be entailed upon us by the anticipated inflictions. RAILWAY RHYMES. IN IMITATION OF DR.

SIR,— As I conclude you will give some of your time and space to the exposure of the odious appointment of Dr. HAMPDEN to the Regius Professorship, I think it may be as well to inquire of yourself, or any of your correspondents, how that person will reconcile himself to signing the Thirty- nine Articles, which he must do before he is installed ?— Will he venture to subscribe, and then write a vindication of his conduct in doing so ?— I am, Sir, your's, truly, O. C. SOCIUS. TO JOHN BULL. Henley, Feb. 22, 1836. Sir,— The harmony and social feeling hitherto existing among all classes in the beautiful and peaceful town of Henley- on- Thames are likely to be banished for ever by the baneful effects of that incubus of modern political economy— the Municipal Reform Bill. Instead of the appropriate discussion on market days of crops and stock, all is excitement and schism. From our insignificance we are out of the pale of the first and direct operation of the Bill, and gladly would the most respectable and influential of its inhabitants have wished Henley so to remain, feeling that the true interests of the town and all its neighbourhood would be best consulted, by allowing the present municipal authori- ties " to pursue the noiseless tenor of their way," in promoting the real prosperity of all; but unhappily for the quiet spirits of this most beautiful spot, the system and perseverance of Radicalism have pre- vailed, and by the joint efforts of a few bankrupt shopkeepers, client- less lawyers, and ferreting Dissenters, who have neither real pro- perty nor influence of any description in the town, a petition to Par- liament has been concocted, and the signatures procured secundum artem, of all such manoeuvres, praying for the benefits of such Bill for Henley- on- Thames. That 1 should trouble you with the events of our little world, you may perhaps deem intrusive; but, as the champion of Conservatism, I have thus trespassed on your valuable columns, anticipating that this petition from Henley- on- Thames will be presented by some Radical Member, as expressive of the sentiments of the respectable inhabitants, which is CONTRARY TO THE FACT, and the names of the parties attached to the petition will prove this assertion of Your constant reader and admirer, AN INHABITANT OF HENLEY. It is now certain, after all that has been said about the occupation of the new Palace by the KING and QUEEN in May next, that their Majesties will not quit St. James's this season. At the new Palace in St. James's Park are now deposited all the valuable armoury, pictures, plate, books, china, glass, and other furniture which formerly adorned Carlton Palace, and which, when that edifice was taken down, were removed to the mansion in Pall- mall, once the residence of Mrs. FITZHERBERT. The Brighton Gazette says :— Ministers are indeed " going the whole hog." We refer to the letter of our Chichester correspondent for another illustration of Whig liberality. Mr. FREELAND, one of the Magistrates recommended by the New Town Council, has, it seems, been dis- placed by our mag- nanimous Home Secretary, on the pretence that he is a solicitor, but on the real ground of his " being a Conservative. How this extraor- dinary decision was received in Chichester, where Mr. FREELAND is no less esteemed in his private character, than for high official standing, the subjoined address, which was in a few hours signed by no less than four hundred persons of the highest respectability, and of all parties, will sufficiently show:— " My Lord, — We, the undersigned inhabitants householders of the city of Chichester, having just learned with feelings of extreme re- gret that your Lordship has thought it advisable to erase the name of J. B. FREELAND, Esq., from the list of Magistrates for the city, beg respectfully to express our most earnest hope that your Lordship will be pleased to retain the name of that gentleman, as we unhe- sitatingly declare that we know of no individual within this city in whom this important trust could be so safely reposed, and- whose ap- pointment would afford more entire satisfaction, as a proof of which we beg to state that Mr. FREELAND, on the day of nomination, re- ceived the votes of every member of the Council, and that for many years he has most efficiently discharged the duties of a Magistrate, with high credit to himself, and with great advantage to the inha- bitants of this city." — The reply to this address has been the confirmation of Mr. FREE- LAND'S supercession, and the appointment of a Mr. EASTLAND in his stead— a new and striking proof of the regard paid by Lord JOHN to the fitness of candidates for office, and to the strongest demonstration of popular opinion— whenever it does not happen to coincide with his own. The Liverpool Standard has'the following A LITTLE JOB.— It is stated that the Town Clerk has appointed JOSEPH PARKES his agent in London, and that JOSEPH has consented to take Mr. RUSHTON'S nephew into partnership. Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S Compensation Bill has been ejected; this might have been anticipated— Ministers would not venture to support their supporter. The Warder says:— If any commentary were wanting to the extraordinary advocacy of the Law Officers of the Crown, in the case of MILLER and MALONE, tried in the Court of Exchequer, it is furnished to us by the Castle Press. The Post, the principal organ, has put forth the monstrous doctrine of the prerogative of the Crown being opposed to the law of the land, and to the nullification of its power and decisions ; but lest this authority might not sufficiently encourage insubordination and disaffection, we have it repeated in a journal of greater circulation, and particularly among the lower classes of Papists. The Post is not the only hireling organ of the Castle ; a Morning Register of ( ids week has the following paragraph:— " We have good reason to believe that in any case where a writ of rebellion shall hereafter be attempted to be executed, the police will receive peremptory orders not to take any part in the matter. And in case attachments shall issue and be enforced by the Learned Barons of the Exchequer for contumelious disregard of their commands, the Government are fully prepared and determined to interpose the prero- gative of pardon vested by the constitution in the Crown, and to liberate those acting under their authority, if they shall be imprisoned." — We must say we disbelieve the veracity of this statement. The Cambridge Chronicle of Friday contains the following obser- vations on the Registry Bill, which will be found in perfect accord- ance with the opinions upon the subject which we have all along expressed:— We wish to call the attention of all who possess property in any shape to a Bill now before Parliament, by which it is intended to establish in London one central Register office, in which the originals of all wills are to be deposited. Several towns have already petitioned against this centralizing scheme, and we earnestly hope that their example will be very exten- sively followed. As the Bill will have passed the lower House in a few days, there is no time to be lost in getting up petitions against it. There are so many objections against establishing one general Register office for wills in otty place, and particularly against pitching on the metropolis to put it in, which must be. obvious to every one interested in the security of property, that we shall dismiss the subject in a very few words. By adopting a system like that now proposed, in the first place the expense of searching for wills will be materially increased ; and in the next, the transferring to London- attorneys such an extensive branch of legal business as that of testamentary dispositions of pro- perty, must be attended with great pecuniary loss to the present race of country practitioners ; neither will this attempt to confine them to the mere mechanical part and druggery of the profession tend to raise the standard among them either of intelligence or respectabi- lity. There is, besides, should this plan be persevered in, one perpetual great and well- founded cause of alarm to the owners of property, lest in times of political excitement, a victorious mob should take it into its head to plunge everything into confusion, by destroying at one blow these valuable documents, which would thus be collected to their hand, purposely as it were, to be destroyed whenever the hu- mour took them. Now, if eight or ten district Register- offices were established in different counties, and an index of the whole were kept at some one or two of them, every advantage would be at once gamed which the supporters of this new scheme hold out as its chief recommendation, unaccompanied by any of the mischiefs we have - eon speaking of. But it is not to be hoped for or expected, that our Whig'Radical Mi nistry could be content with so simple a plan, and one which at the same time is so effectual in its working as this would be. Universal centralization, and the consequent creation of places and salaries without any end or limit, is the only system of legislation which finds favour in the eyes of'our patronage- abhorring Administration! The Gazette de France gives the following account of the death of the husband of her Majesty, Mrs. MUNOZ :— MADRID, FEB. 8. — MUNOZ, the Ex- Body- Guardsman, whose name has acquired a certain degree of notoriety, died yesterday. CHRISTINA, as may be well imagined, is plunged in the deepest grief. Innumerable contradictory reports on this event are in circu- lation ; the following, however, appears to be best founded. MU- NOZ had for some time lost his reason, and given unequivocal proofs of insanity. This was occasioned by an attempt to poison him, the immediate consequences of which were prevented by prompt anti- dotes. But, whether from the effects of the poison, or from the dose administered to counteract it being too strong, the QUEEN'S favourite became mad, and his alienation resisted all the succours of art. The ultra party, who abhorred MUNOZ, and dreaded his supposed influence over the mind of the QUEEN, are loudly accused of having caused his death. The following is from the Dublin Evening Mail:— As Lord MULGRA VE is fond of contrasts, we beg he will contrast the following facts, occurring in Tipperary, with the statements made to him in the Radical address from that county, recently presented to him, and likewise in his ownanswer to that address " MICHAEL RIORDAN, A DRIVER OF HENRY MASSY, ESQ., OF TIP- PERARY, WAS SHOT YESTERDAY WHILE IN THE ACT OF DISTRAINING FOR RENT!!! " We rejoice to have it to announce, that three of the ruffians who some time ago committed a barbarous assault upon some keepers of Lord LISMORE, as stated some posts back in this journal, were yes- terday brought into the gaol of this town, fully identified."— Tippe- rary Constitution. As we ourselves are fond of comparisons, we take permission to compare those facts, with the answer of Lord OSSORY to the requisi- tiomsts, and the very petulant commentary which Lord MULGRAVE passed upon the High Sheriff's reply. We quote the passage fo which we refer:— " Sir,— I must decline being in any manner accessory to an address of congratulation to a Lord Lieutenant, whose period of misrule has been hitherto marked, in the county of Tipperary, onlu by a continu- ance and increase of outrage and disturbance.— I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, " OSSORY, High Sheriff, " Boom HaU, Londonderry, Jan. 30,1836. " To Mr. Hackett." Lord MULGRA VE'S comment thereon in his reply to the Tipperary address:— " I do not mention these circumstances from any desire to notice more particularly an extraordinary document connected with the object of your meeting. It becomes me to let such slander pass un- heeded by; and I can well afford to leave to the judgment of public opinion the conduct of an individual, whose ignorance of the observ- ances due from an officer of the crown to a person holding the high situation I at present fill, was only exceeded by still greater ignorance of the facts on which his accusation was founded. The real object I have in view in calling your attention to the present state of districts of the county of Tipperary is, that you should convey to those thou- sands of sturdy yeomanry who participated in the expressions of per- sonal attachment to myself, which 1 have this day heard from you, my anxious desire that they should co- operate cordially with a go- vernment in which they profess deserved confidence, in removing fromi Tipperary the attempted stigma with which a few evil doers can yet afflict their thriving and beautiful county." As for the " ignorance of the observances due from one officer of the crown to another," we cheerfully refer that matter to the cour- tiers and masters of etiquette— but the " ignorance of the facts — the total ignorance of the state of Tipperary which dictated either Lord OSSORY'S letter, or Lord MULGRA VE'S remark— we boldly put the cases above recorded— namely, the barbarous assault on Lord Lis- MORE'S- keepers ( himself, by the way, chairman of the Tipperary meeting) and the murder of MICHAEL RIOBDAN whilst distraining for rent— into his Excellency's hands, and let himself declare whether the High Sheriff of Tipperary, or the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, have displayed greater ignorance on the occasion. We will not say thatthere was a wilful misrepresentation on either side. The barefaced jobs of the Ministry appear at length to have put to the blush even those who have been most loud in its praise. The Courier of Monday last had the following:— The Portsmouth journals received to- day announce that the three ships of the line about to be commissioned are to be commanded by the Hon. Captain BOUVERIB, the Hon. Captain Sir A. MAITLAND, and the Hon. Captain BERKELEY! U The Portsmouth journals are generally well informed respecting naval appointments; but on the February 28, JOHN BULL. present occasion we are sure that their announcements cannot be cor- rect. We will not pay the present Board of Admiralty so had a compliment as to suppose that skill, and gallantry, and long services are not to lead to promotion and favour unless united with hereditary rank, nor that the Board at any time have entertained the intention of confining the appointments at present in their gift to the sons and brothers of British Earls. The Admiralty know well that the num- ber of names of brave Officers, tried in the day of danger in the service of their country, not a few of them severely wounded, to be foundin the Navy List between the names of Captain BOUVERIE and Captain BERKELEY, is great. Details are in our possession, and details we must give should we eventually find it to be necessary ; hut we believe it to be absolutely impossible that the Admiralty are about to set aside the well- founded claims of many Officers, who, with their families, have for twenty years past been subsisting on their half- pay, in order to make way for those who have no addi- tional recommendation but that of hereditary rank. It is with deep regret that we have this week to record the death, after a painful and protracted illness, of the Right Rev. WILLIAM VAN MILDERT, D. D., Bishop of DURHAM, which took place at Auckland Castle, on Sunday last, at- nine A. M. This truly estimable Prelate, who had attained the 76th year of his age, was the son of a merchant, of Dutch extraction, and born in London about the year 1765. After receiving his education at Merchant Tailors' School, he was removed to Queen's College, Oxford, where, in 1787, he took the degree of Bachelor of Arts, and in 1790, that of Master of Arts. Soon after he had been ordained, he became Rector of St. Mary- le- Bow, in which capacity he was sued for non- residence, but claimed exemption from the penalty, because there was no parsonage- house in the Rectory. A verdict was, however, obtained against him, from the consequences of which, as many other Divines were in a similar predicament, he was relieved by an Act of Parliament. In 1804, he delivered the Boylean Lectures; which, about two years afterwards, he published under the title of " The Progress of fnfidelity." The orthodoxy and learning which he displayed in this production procured him the preachership at Lincoln's Inn, a sure stepping- stone to a Bishoprick, with a living in Surrey, and Regius Professorship at Oxford. In 1813, he accumulated the degrees of B. D. and D. D., and about the same time obtained a Canonry of Christchurch. In the following year he preached the Bampton Lectures, which he published in 1815, under the title of " An Inquiry into the General Principles of Scripture Interpretation." In 1820, he was promoted to the Deanery of St. Paul's, and at the same time to the See of Llandaff, from which in 1826, he was translated to that of Durham. In his public capacity he was estimated as a profound scholar and a good preacher. In private life he was greatly esteemed for his amiable maimers, and his loss will be deeply fel t both among the Clergy and the laity— the rich and the poor. Besides the works already enumerated, Dr. VAN MILBERT published " A Sermon on the Assassination of Spencer Perceval,"" A Charge to the Clergy of Llandaff," and " The Substance of a Speech, delivered in 1825, on the removal of the Disabilities of the Roman Catholics." Sir WM. FOLLETT has been appointed one of the standing Counsel to the University of Cambridge, in the room of the Master cf the Rolls. The Court of Directors has appointed J. B.

Last week a meeting was held at the Monteith- rooms, Edinburgh- Principal MACFARLANE, in the chair, to fix on a spot for placing a statue to the memory of the late Sir WALTER SCOTT, Bart.; when, after a very lengthened discussion, George- square, as being a very eligible situation, was selected for the purpose. Mr. CLARKSON, one of the Revising Barristers at the last registra- tion, has been appointed a Magistrate, and succeeds Mr. COOMBE, who has officiated at the Thames Police Office since the death of Captain RICHBELL, three years ago, and who goes to Lambeth- street in the room of Mr. WALKER, deceased. Mr. CLARKSON is not related to his namesake who practises in the Old Bailey Courts, or to the proctor in Doctors' Commons. The Conservatives of Marylebone have determined upon giving a grand festival in celebration of the spread of loyal and constitutional feeling in that borough. It will be held on the 16th of March, at the Freemasons' Tavern, and it is expected that upwards of SOOmembers of the Loyal and Constitutional Association will be present. The excitement among the Radical party in the borough is extreme) the recent verdict in the Court of King's Bench on the indictment for conspiracy has driven into absolute insanity the parties who main- tained the justness and propriety of the interpolation of the forty- two of the " right sort" into the list of voters for the county of Middle- sex. Such was the wild feeling among the party at the Marylebone vestry on Saturday last that Lord DENMAN was accused of ignorance, the Jury of political bias, and the witnesses of " perjury up to the ears;" one of the witnessesjwas called, " a hoary- headed old villain." Tuesday a petition was presented to the House of Lords, from EDWARD BOURCHIER HARTOPP, Esq., of Little Dalby, Leicestershire ( the petition having been previously presented to his MAJESTY), " to determine the abeyance of the Barony of Vaux in his favour, by commanding a writ to be issued, summoning the petitioner to attend in Parliament by the style and title of Baron Vaux, of Harrowden.: The petition was presented by command of his MAJESTY, and their Lordships ordered it to be referred to a Committee of Privileges. It is intended to unite the following four parishes under the Poor Law Act, namely, St. Clement's Danes, St. Mary- le- Strand, the Savoy, and St. Paul's, Covent- garden. The riavy estimates for the year 1836- 7 amount to 4,689,6511., being 443,9281. more than last year. The Select Committee appointed to inquire into the state of the Record Commission, met pro forma on Monday last, in Great George- street, when Mr. C. BULLER was elected Chairman. The Committee commenced their proceedings with the examination of Mr. PURTON COOPER, the Secretary. EXETER WESTERN CONSERVATIVE SOCIETY.— A meeting of the members of this society was held at MOORE'S London Alehouse on Monday evening last, the room being decorated with a handsome King's Arms, & c. Colonel MOLESWORTH was called to the chair, and there was a very numerous attendance. The meeting was addressed by the Chairman and other members in support of Con- servative principles; a number of loyal and constitutional toasts were drunk; several songs were sung; and many additional new members were added to the society.— fVestern Luminary. Mr. JOSEPH ADY is at his old tricks again. A Scotch paper says:— We have received from a gentleman near Linlithgow a letter, ad- endowed" as to have been obliged, not many years ago, to lay a tax of six shillings a- year upon each and all its members, except sizars, for the purpose of supplying its library with books ? Does he forget that, even so lately as last year, this " richly endowed" body was further obliged to have recourse to the pockets of its wealthy friends, by way of a general subscription, to enable it to commence the work of rebuilding its Library?

JAMES BLENK- ARNE, Vicar of Great St. Helen's, Bishopsgate, whose death we announced last week, was a pleasing example of the affectionate respect and regard, inspired almost constantly among the flock of a faithful Pastor: every house in the parish was closed, and the inhabit- ants and schools of St. Helen's, and also those of St. George's in the East ( at which Church the Reverend Gentleman had been Lecturer nearly forty years), spontaneously attended the mournful ceremony, in grateful remembrance of the pastoral care and personal piety of their late Vicar. A highly respectable meeting of the Sub- Committee of the Ports- mouth District Church of England Society, comprising the parishes of Warblington, Havant, Bedhampton, Farlington, and Ilayling ( North and South), was held at the Assembly Room, Crown Inn, Emsworth, on Monday, the 15th inst., G. A. SHAWE, Esq., Vice- President in the Chair. The subjects discussed were the advantage to the members of the Church of England of associating fiir the pur- pose of mutual conference and assistance at periods of difficulty, or for resisting any uncalled- for aggression, and the means of alleviating the present distress of the Clergy of the Established Church in Ire- land. The meeting was severally addressed by the Rev. Messrs. Mountain, Norris, and Alder; by Captains Bigland and Pierson, and by Messrs. Baines, Loftin, Smart, Harrisou, and H. Stevens. At the conclusion a considerable addition was made to the sums already collected in those parishes for the Irish Clergy. Bv the death of the Rev. ROBERT DICKINSON, Vicar of Ilfracombe, the Sunday afternoon Lectureship of St. Mary's, Newington Butts, is vacant. The election rests in uie. parishioners. POPISH PROSELYTISM.— We understand, from very good authority, that a number of Roman Catholic Priests have been for some time engaged in studying the Welsh language, with the intention of com- mencing a Roman Catholic mission in the principality. In further- ance of this object also a Popish Mass book has been printed in Welsh, and no doubt active means will be taken to undermine the faith of the simple minded Cambrians, whose ignorance will only render them an easier prey to the wiles of the enemy .— Manchester Courier.

The Bishops, however, « , hold their jurisdiction over their Clergy, excepting only in criminal proceedings, in which it is proposed to abolish it altogether. The jurisdictionmmatters of tithe is also to be taken from tbe Ecclesias- tical Courts, and is to be transferred to the Court of Exchequer. The jurisdiction of these Courts in respect to Church- rates is also to be abolished, and all disputes connected with those payments subjected to the same course as those connected with poor- rates— viz., an ap- peal to the Quarter Sessions. The Bill also abolishes the authority of Ecclesiastical Courts in the repression of immoral practices, which are to be left to the ordinary operation of the common or statute law. The Bill likewise regulates the mode to be pursued in the sequestra- tion of livings ; a matter of great importance to Clergymen, and to all connected with them. On Monday, the 15th inst., ameeting of the Clergy of the Deaneries of Bath and Bedminster, took place at Bath, for the purpose of peti- tioning the King to grant his license to the Houses of Convocation of the United Church of England and Ireland, to proceed to the dispatch of business. The meeting was ably addressed, and a petition was unanimously agreed to. The parishioners of West Hackney on Friday presented their Curate, the Rev. JOHN FLO WERDEW COLLS, with a very handsome ser- vice of plate, in token of their high approbation of the manner in which he has discharged his clerical duties among them, and as a memorial of their respect and esteem for his private character. The scholars of the Collegiate school of Winchester have subscribed for the purpose of presenting their head master, the Rev. Dr. D. WILLIAMS, LL.

THE PICTORIAL BIBLE: being the OLD and NEW TES- TAMENTS according to the authorised Version, illustrated with many Hundred Wood Cuts, representing the Historical Events, after tbe most cele- brated Pictures ; the Landscape Scenes, from Original Drawings or from Authen tic Engravings; and the Subjects of Natural History, of Costume, and of Anti- quities, from the best sources. To which are added, Original Notes, chiefly explanatory of the Engravings, and of such passages connected with the History, Geography, Natural History, and Antiquities of the Sacred Scriptures as require observation. •„• The principal feature of " The Pictorial Bible" is defined by its Title. It is to make the Objects described orreferred to in the Holy Scriptures familiar to the 6) e of the general reader. At the present time a " Picture Bible" ( Bilder Bible) is publishing in Germany with remarkable success. The present work, however, differs considerably in its plan from that and other illustrated Bibles. The immense treasures of art which the great Painters have bequeathed to us on Sacred Subjects will be here opened to all, as far as they are capable of being diffused through the medium of wood- engraving ; the Landscape Scenes will be represented with that fidelity which wearenow able to realise through the labours of recent travellers; and the other objects, whether of Natural History, of Costume, or of Antiquities, will be delineated with equal accuracy. These llla- trations will of themselves be as Notes ofthe most interesting and important el aracter. The printed Notes will have precisely the same principle in view ; they w ill be chiefly devoted to an ex- planation of theobjects mentioned in the Sacred Text. It is the wish of the con- ductors of this 44 Pictorial Bible" to render it a work universally acceptable to all denominations of Christians. While, therefore, the critical reader of the Scrip- tures will have to seek in other editions for comment, of a theological nature— and such editions are as numerous as they are admirable— the Notes of the " Pictorial Bible" will be limited as we have already described. That such explanations, conceived in a spirit of sincere piety, and with due reference to their connection with the higher allusions of the Inspired Writers, may lead many readers to a more diligent perusal of the Scriptures, there can be no doubt; and some of the labours of the most learned commentators have been accordingly devoted to such points. The Notes to the " Pictorial Bible" will be written by several persons, each well acquainted with the branch which he undertakes; and the whole will undergo the most careful editorial revision. The Illustrations of the Book of Genesis are about Forty in number. Tbe Work will be completed in about Twenty Parts, forming'three handsome super- royal octavo volumes. It will be printed on fine thick paper, with a new type. London : Charles Knight, 22, Ludgate- street. Sold by all Booksellers and News- venders, and wholesale by the Agents of the Penny Magazine.

STOCK EXCHANGE;— SATURDAY. The Settlement of the Account has occurred since onr last report, and it passed over with little notice and without difficulty. Since the adjustment, the Market has worn a firm appearance, and at the close of business this afternoon the price for the New Account was 917S 92. Exchequer Bills have slightly advanced, the premium eing 20 to 22, and India Bonds have been steady at 3. In Spanish Stock, at the commencement, of the week, there was a complete panic, and the quotation after the regular hours of busi- ness, in the coffee- houses contiguous to ' Change, on Monday was as low as 44. Since then there has been a reaction, and the price this afternoon left at 45, V. There has been little done in Portuguese Bonds, the Five per Cents, are at 83%, and the Three per Cents. 52^. .

Some anxiety is expressed on account of Marshal Clause), who had marched for Tremecen more than a month ago, and of whom nothing had been heard.

OXFORD.— The following resolutions were adopted unanimously, as we are informed, in very crowded meetings of Members of Con- vocation, and extensively signed by the Professors, Doctors, and Tutors of the University:— " At a meeting of Members of Convocation, holden this day, it \ va. s unanimously resolved— That a respectful requisition be signed, and presented to the " Rev. Vice Chancellor, praying that he will be pleased to convene a Meeting of the Heads of Colleges and Halls for the purpose of con- sidering the propriety of submitting to Convocatiou an Address from ~ the University of Oxford to the Most Reverend the Archbishops, and the Right Reverend the Bishops of the United Church, to the following effect:— " ' That their Lordships would be pleased to accept from can- didates for holy orders a certificate of attendance at the Lectures of the Lady Margaret's Professor of Divinity in the University of Oxford, in lieu of the certificate of attendance at the Lectures of the Regius Professor of Divinity in the same University, so long as the chair of the Regius Professor of Divinity continues to be filled by one, in the soundness of whose doctrinal opinions the University can place no confidence.' " Oxford, Feb. 24,1836." " At a meeting of Members of Convocation, holden this day, it • was resolved unanimously, " 1 hat a respectful requisition be signed and presented to the Rev. the Vice Chancellor, that he would be pleased to summon a meeting of Heads of Houses, to take into consideration the best means of giving Convocation an opportunity of disavowing and condemning the evil principles and doctrines contained in the Bampton Lectures and - other writings of Dr. Hampden.

CLASSICAL CHAMBER CONCERTS.— The first of the second series of these delightful concerts was given at Willis's- rooms on Thursday last— and, if we may judge from the crowded state of the room, with increased attraction. Of two of the selected pieces, it is impossible to speak in too high terms of praise. We allude to the Quintet of Onslow in C., and the Quartet of Haydn, Op. 80, both of which were admirably performed. _ THE C OUR T JOURNAL, and GAZETTE of the FASHIONABLE WORLD, of Saturday, Feh. 27, contains, besides a full account of her Majesty's Drawing- Room, and all the Gaieties and Novelties of the Week :— Hints to Young Ladies who visit the Opera — The Beauties at the Court Ball at Brussels— A Curious Edition of Separation; a Tragic Comedy— A Visit to Madame Letitia Buonaparte— The Queen of Spain's Favourite— Numerous Anecdotes, Facetiae, & e. The object of " The Court Journal" is not political— it is rather intended as a light and entertaining miscellany, touching on the state of manners and society, on the amusements of the Fashionable World, the Fine Arts, Literature, & c. ; its columns comprise a great number of amusing original papers, grave and gay, by some of the first writers of the day— its object, in short, is " to present to society a Journal that may tend not only to elevate taste and refine manners, hut to keep its readers ingood temper with the world and with each other, by finding out a sunny pathway even in the dullest season." The Court Journal is published for Henry Colburn, at the Office, 19, Catherine- street, Strand, and supplied, free of postage, by all Booksellers and Xewsvenders. Part V. ( to be complete in Six), price Is. WESTALL and MARTIN'S ILLUSTRATIONS of the NEW TESTAMENT. Containing Eight Engravings— namely, Christ's Entry into Jerusalem. ' " Christ Raising the Widow's Son.

CATHEDRAL ANTIQUITIES.— The Anthor and Publishers, on completing the Volume devoted to WORCESTER CATHEDRAL, and examining the Stock of the whole Work, find that only a very few volumes of some Cathedrals remain unsold ; and as this Work contains delineations of the most interesting Examples of the Architectural Styles and Details of all Ages, from the 11th to the 16th century, it will be found peculiarly useful to Architects, Builders, and Antiquaries. The Architects who have lately made designs for the NEW HOUSES of PARLIAMENT admit that they cou* d not have effected such drawings as they have sent in, but for the numerous and accurate prints in this publication.— Gentlemen desirous of making up Sets of the CATHEDRAL ANTIQUITIES, or of having any parti- cular Volume, or Numbers, are advised to order the same without delay, to se- cure good impressions of the Plates. The Cathedrals published, at the following prices, are— Salisbury .. Norwich .. Winchester York- Lichfield 3 3 2 10 3 3 3 15 1 18 Oxford ..
