On Tuesday last, the Courts of the Col lege were full from seven in the morning till one, and bills were posted up in all directions recommending the different candidates.• Sir Thomas Brisbane was the fa vourite of the Professors, while Mr. Canning, and Mr. Campbell, the Poet, were supported by most of the Students. We went into the Hall, and matriculated, %herr the Professors told to what nation each of us be longed. We are in the Londoniani, comprehending the East Coast, South of the Frith of Forth, as far as the Water of Urr. Several of the elder Students speechified to us during the day, some for Canning, and some for Campbell, approbation or disapprobation being shewn by rulfing and hissing. Next day we went at a little past eight, and found all the Courts full, and a great crowd at the gate. In a short time, a man came up the street with bills for Cobbett in Ilia hands ; bat the Students flew at him, took them from him, and sent him down the street with his hat off. So the few de fenders of Cobbett had the pleasure of paying the ex pense, without getting any good of their bills, which were instantly torn in pieces, and trampled in the Courts. At ten o'clock the gates were shut, and the Students rushed into the Hall. At this time there was a man at the gates with a piece of cambric, on which was written " Campbell, Defender of our Rights."— It was said that whenever the Professors got their man to be Lord Rector, they got him to agree with them to UM up the College Gardens from the Students. We went into the Classroom with Professors Sandford and Hooker, who voted for Mr. Canning ; but Mr. Camp bell had it in our nation by one vote of majority. We then came out, and were joined by our fellow•students, the Transforthani nation, shouting " Campbell for ever I" We were, however, kept in suspense with re gard to the result, till the Rothsiani and the Glottiani came our, and then there was such a cheering, with tries of "Off hats for Campbell !"—for Thomas Camp bell, Esq. had really won the day. When we went into the Hall to hear him proclaimed Lord Rector, there was such ruifing and huzzaing. and " Off with hats," I thought they would have had the house down ; and his adversaries looked so queer, it was quite amusing." COVENT GARDEN THEATNL—The Drama of Deaf and Dumb was revived last night. It is amongst the very best specimens of the class to which it belongs. 'the story is of powerful interest, and the feature on which that interest is founded, is of a peculiarly striking character. It afFirds abundant opportunity for the seri timeht and pathos of sentimental comedy, without any of the feeble mawkishness by which that sort of com position is often degraded. The acting last night was excellent. YonNo in Dc CEpie, and CHARLES KES/BLE in St. Alme, left nothing to be wished. WARDS sustained the difficult part of D'Atknrout with vigour and judg ment. Miss J. SCOTT was the Theodore : she exhibited much grace and intelligence. The other characters, and especially that of Dominique, by ELANEUAND o were ably supported, and the fall of the cur tans was followed by loud and general applause. LivertrooL, TUESDAY EVENING —So far in this week We have had a better demand for cotton, and the sales yeAerday and to-day amount to three thousand bags, with a firm market, but no alteration in prices. Mntsciscs reit, Nov. 21.—1 n yarns there is no mate rial alteration this week: the demand is less, but still there is some buying for shipping. The frost, which set in for a s!:ort time, is gone, and the commonic 'Lion to Hull is open. The stead/ state of the cotton market has also a tendency to support the price of yarn ; from the low price of yarns bringing them into such close contact with the price of cotton, thereby leaving no room fur yarns to fall, without a loss to the spinne..— Goods ate decidedly lower; they were b.iught last Tuesday as low as ever they %tyre during the "I.,te panic."

Yesterday a Meeting of the Inhabitants of Renfrew shire) for so it is styled, wa s h e ld at Paisley (Mr. Clark, from Greenock, in the Chair), in order to petitioh Par• liament to Reform itself, to abrogate the Corn Laws, to cut down all our Establishments, to take off almost all our Taxes, and fo cut off our Nation'al Debt, &c. &F. ) The late hour last night at which we received the pro ceedings and the Petition, which is of considerable length, puts it out of our power to insert either in this day's publication; but of the nature and proceedings of the Meeting our readers may form a toleribly correct idea, when the following.clause, with others' of a similar nature, were adopted. Amongst the speakers we per ceive the names of Mr. Maxwell, M.P. Mr. Wallace of .Kelly, and Mr. Bogle " That the fictitious money, which for a long period has almost superseded that consisting of the precious metals, from its liability to fluctuation in quantity, renders the possessienrof property alto gether uncertain. That the use of it has a tendency. to deteriorate the morals of the people, by holding out strong inducements to imprudent speculation; and besides might, under certain circum stances, endanger our existence. as an independent nation; and that it appears to your Petitioners that the staple of this country will enjoy no permanent prosperity, nor any real security for property and independence, till the restoration of a metallic curlency. But your Petitioners are well aware that this necessary change cannot be efl'ected without still further diminishing the total amount of money in circulation, and that the relative value of the remainder would consequently be enhanced. It is therefore undeniably just, that there should be a repeal of greater part of the Taxes, a reduc tion of the interest if the National Debt, and a curtailment of the Government Expenditure in every branch, and also a revision of all pecuniary contracts correspondent with the encrease in theralue of money which has already taken place, and which will yet take place to .a certain extent, before the complete renovation Of the certency." :An article from Hanover, under date of the 3d of No vember, informs us, that the grand review of the troops in the preceding month had drawn a vast concourse of strangers of distinction to the city, amongst whom were Prince WILLIAM of PRUSSIA, the two sons of the late Marshal Nay. the Prince of ELCHINGZN, and Prince of MositwA. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE was so highly satisfied with the conduct of the inhabi tants of the city, in their mode of entertaining their illustrious visitors, that he publicly returned them thanks for their hospitality. A Bombay Paper of the 24th of June mentions a re port of the death of RUNJEET SINGH, the most impor tant, on account both of his force and his position, of the native Princes with whom we are in contact in India. It was added, that a civil war had commenced between two of his sons for the Musnud ; the third, from incapa city, remaining neuter. ACCIDENT FROM A SPRING GUN.—•Capt. CRIAI'ORTH, of the 10th Royal Hussars, we regret to learn, has met with an accident which had nearly been attended with a fatal result. Friday morning last, Captain C. went at an early hour to his father's estate at Annesley, in this county, intending to enjoy the diversion of shooting. Upon inquiring for the gamekeeper, he found that the person was absent; be, however, took his gun, and pro ceeded to the woods, and being unaccompanied by any one who could point out to him where the spring guns were set, he unfortunately trod upon one of the wires; the shot froth the gun struck him in the thigh, but the wound, we are happy to learn, is of a slight _nature. All the papers were led into error as to the numbers of the division on Tuesday night; betides, during the exclusion of the Reporters, there were two divisions. On Mr. Hums's amendment the numbers were—Ayes 24 ; Noes 170 (not 107); Majority against it 146. Oo a se cond amendment, pledging the House to inquire into the state of Ireland, &c. the numbers were—for it 58 ; against it 135 ; majority 77. The original Address, moved by Mr. LIDDELL, was then carried without any division. The House of Commons has resolved, for the regula tion of its private business during the present Session of Parliament, that it will not receive any petition for a private Bill after Friday, 23d February, 1827 ; that no first reading of a private Bill shall take place after the Ist March; and that it will not receive any Report of Committees on - such private Bills after the 14th May, 1827. NATIONAL SOClETY.—Yesterday, the General Com mittee of the National Society for the Education of the Poor in the principles of the Established Church, held their Meeting at St. Martin's Vestry-room, the Bishop of EXETER in the Chair. Eighteen fresh Schools were united to the Society, and ten grants of money were made towards the erecting, enlarging, and fitting up of School-rooms. The new and extensive wing adding to the Blue Coat School, the first stone of which was laid by his Royal Highness the Duke of York, iu April twelve months, is now nearly finished, and begins to assume a very hand some appearance. Sunday evening, between six and seven o'clock", a fire broke out in the Dove, Yarmouth trader, lying close alongside Mr. Mashiter's premises, Iron-gate Wharf, St. Catherine's. The flames, which first appeared in the fore part of the vessel, soon gained such an alarming ascendancy, that its destruction, and likewise the exten sive premises of Mr. Mashiter, seemed inevitable to every one present. At this most critical period the London Assurance Floating Engine fortunately arrived, and by the active exertions of the firemen OA board, it was speedily brought into play, and a tremendous body of water was thrown upon the devouring element, which ultimately had the effect of subduing ir. The cargo and vessel were considerably damaged ; but had not the floating engine arrived at the moment it did, the flames would have communicated to Mr. Mashiter's wharf, which is chi, fly composed of wood, and consequently must have been consomed. We regret that there are not more floating engines kept on the River to protect the vessels lying below London bridge. LIVERPOOL, Nov. 21.—Yesterday evening, soon after nine o'clqck, an alarming fire broke out in a large warehouse in Tablet'•street, comprising seven stories, and raged with such violeme, that in the short space of an hour, the whole of the interior was one mass of flames. Great fears were entertained for the safety of three warehouses adjoining, one of which was occupied by Mr. Aspinall, sail maker; but by the exertions of 1 the firemen and others, they were saved. The lower room, where the fire originated, was occupied by Messrs. Morris, Smith, and Co. coopers, and the upper stories were filled with bonded corn. The engines were on the. spot shortly after the fire began, but there being no water for nearly an hour after wards, and even then only a scanty supply, they were rendered of little use comparatively to what they might have been. The Mayor was on the spot, actively engaged in giving di recrions to the firemen and other persons employed in the preservation of the property removed out of the adjoining buildings. COURT OP KING'S BENCH--Tkits DAT. JUDGMENT ON SMUGGLERS. William Snow, William Hone, and W. Hetherington, three' smugglers, appeared en the floor of.the Court to- receive judgment. The information charged the several defendants with illegal traffick ing i 4 smuggled goods, on the. Sussex coast, and also with endea vouring to bribe one of his Majesty's Revenue Officers, stationed there; in the execution of his duty. Mr, Justice &Tun% after asilmadvertlog very strongly on the MUMS nature of their offences, sentenced Snow and Hone to.lB months, and .Hetherington to 15 months imprisonment in Horsham Jail, and at the expiration of that period * to enter into sureties for five years; themielves in 401. and two of 201. each, HIGH COURT OF ADMIRALTY, Nov.ft 11111111P1UPZ MIAOW PIRATICS. The KING'S ADVOCATIL said, that this motion related to a claim for head-money, fou n d e d upon the capture of a piratical vessel and two canoes, by a part of the crew of his Majesty's cutter Grecian. The Captain of the Grecian made of that in November, 1823, he commanded a King's cutter on the Jamaica station,and received intimation from a merchant named Macgre gor, that a piratical schooner was off the coast of Cam peaehy,and had done considerable mischief to merchant . vessels. Upon this information the Grecian went in pursuit of the piratical.schooner, which she came up with off the Island of San Pedro. Upon the Grecian nearing her, the crew of the pirate drove their vessel on shore, and then endeavoured to escape in two large canoes. The Captain of the Grecian then procured a I Spanish felucca, which he disguised as a merchantman, and patting.ten of his crew on hoard, sent them on the same course-all the canoes had taken, by way of a de coy,.intending, if the felucca should be attacked, to send the boats of the cutter to her assistance. A heavy gale of wind, however, suddenly came on, and the Grecian was forced off shore. In the mean while, as had been anticipated, a crowd of boats came off from shore, with two large canoes, well manned, who at tacked the felucca with fire-arms. As soon al the attack commenced, the crew of the felucca (which con sisted of Spaniards) ran below deck, and left the ten Englishmen, who were on board, belonging to the Grecian, to defend the vessel. The felucca bad one car renade on board, with which the men of the Grician kept up so smart a fire, that they beat off the canoes, and pursued them towards the shore.Tbe pirates dragged the canoes on land, the felucca continuing to fire on them, by which fire three men were killed. The rest of the pirates endeavoured to.escape to the woods, but being pursued, they returned to the shore, and again. taking to their bats, endeavoured to get off to sea. In this attempt one of the canoes was successful ; but the other, with fifteen men, was captured, and ten of those men were subsequently hanged as pirates in Jamaica. Under all the circumstances, the King's Advocate submitted, that as this was a most gallant action on the part pf the ten men belonging to the Grecian, the Court would take their valiant conduct into consideration, and decree head-money for thirty-six men, which it was proved were in the two canoes. It was quite in course that the Court should decree bead-money for the three men killed, and the fifteen men afterwards captured; and the only questipn was, whether the Court would grant head money on the crew of the canoe which had escaped, and which consisted of eighteen men ? Lord Semext.r.—Take a decree for the three men killed and the fifteen men taken, and I shall consider Whether the Court can pant head-money for the eighteen men who escaped,. TXI SUMER. Mb cause was called, but not argued. It regards a salvage award of a very large amount, to which the RCYCLIite Depnialtilt it understood to haws taken some exceptions. Lord Srowar.t. desired it should stand over, THE MINSTREL. Dr. Luanniarom stated, that the question in this matter was, whether a mariner, who had proceeded for the recovery of wages due, was entitled to have his costs paid into Court, which costs be eliimed.—This case was also_ordered to stand over. TUB ATL/M The Registrar then called the case of The Atlas, re specting as our readers may recollect, the validity of a bottomry bond ; to the condition of which (stipulating for payment of the amount hypothecated, even in the event of loss of the ship), it WAS objected by the Court, on a former occasion, that such condition pre. judiced the lender's title to the interest always granted on these bonds as the perieuli protium, and removed the pretence for demanding maim maritime. The general question as to the nature of this bond, however, was re served in Trinity Term last. The case having been called on a former Sasion of the present Term, and again deferred, was expected to have been discussed to• day, and much interest was excited about it in the City. Lord Browns, ordered that this matter should stand over, TUX MALTA. This was an action for wages by a mariner of the ship Malta, against a Captain Young, recently tried at the Admiralty Sessions of Oyer and Terminer, on a charge of slave• trading, and acquitted. The summary petition set forth the facts of the party having been engliged on board ; of the vessel's proceeding in the prosecution of a trading voyage to the coast of Africa; and of the Captain's having, while lying in the River Danger, on the western coast, taken aboard four black girls, whom he was alleged to have detained, in the first instance; as security for the delivery of certain goods and gold'dust, which some natives had bartered against a - part of the Malta's cargo. These girls, it was then set Wtth, *ere subsequently sold by Captain Young 'to the master of a Spanish slaver for a sum of dollars ; and the Malta herself prOceeded to Pi ince's Island for a cargo of coffee. She was there seized, under the Slave trading Acts, by Captain Willis, of his Majesty's ship Bran, ati4l carried into Sierra Leo ne,: w where she was eoadepilled . ita a good and lawful prize. Dr. LUSHINOTON, for the seaman, stated that be bad *ever re. calved the wages he bad stipulated (sr, and POW Proceeded for them against the Captain. Di. JEN NED did not at present dispute the facts, as laid in the summary petition, .excepting ip so far as to I observe that Captain Young had been acquitted of charge it exhibited against him. But the Learned Counsel contended, that by reason of the seizure of the ship, and hcr subsequent condemnation (from which sentence, indeed, an appeal was now/ in progress), the property and ownership had passed to the mews, or to the Crown ; and that to them the petiticmer most look for relief. Dr. LUSHINGTON had always understood that a mariner had his option of three remedies for the recd• very of his subtracted wages ; he might proceed against the oa tiers, the master, or the ship. His client had chosen the middle course; and if the facts, as laid in the summary petition, should be proved, the Learned Counsel held there could not be a shadow of doubt that he must be entitled to tecover. Could this be doubted in the case of a ve.set seized by reason of the illicit practices of the master, in smuggling without the privity of the mariner, a few pieces of-silk, or lace, for ex- I ample? Snould it be said, that after such vessel had been se zed to the Crown, the seaman could sot have his remedy against the niastri or tlio:Asitters? Lord STOWELL was decidedly of opinion tbat at least here was a • tialicitnt case laid to go to proof,and admitted the summary Pet ition. -. LA 1 , 27111 1,11170/11$ This case has been often before the public. Of the 'two questions comprised in it—(ile one touching the grant of the Court's Warrant of Attachment against certain parties, charged with obstructing the High Ju risdiction of the Court, by ill treatment of the racer who served its process on the French Captain. bnd others & and the second, relating to the quantum of the salvage to be awarded to the salvors of the vessel)--the former only came on for discussion to-day. Dr. JENNICR and Dr. LUSUINOTON, on behalf of the Captain and crew, and Mr. Horsburgh, a Magistrate of the Borough of Weymouth, in Dorsetshire, con tended, that they had acted with much forbearance to •wards an unauthorised individual, calling himself the Messenger of this Court; or if they had in any degree erred, had only erred in pardonable and trifling re spects, such as the Court would never interfere to punish. Dr. Donau): and Dr. J. ADDAMS insisted, that the individual was quite authorised for the purposes of that process, and bad been grossly ill. used. Dr. LUSHINGTON severely reprobated, on the other hand, the harsh and inhospitable treatment which these poor Frenchmen bad met with from the inhabitants of Portland Isle. Ignorant of our language, and almost shipwrecked, it was a cruel termination of their diiasters to get involved in a needless squabble of this kind. Foe his own part, he could not imagine a set of foreigners more unfortunately circumstanced, unless, indeed, they had happened to have fallen in with some people worse than their Portland friends; some Philo-Frenchthen for erample—(a laugh)—wbo might have put a finishing - hand to their calamities, by raising a loan for them—. (Laughter.) The case to be proceeded with neat Court day. BRIGHTON, NOVED4IIIIt . Lord Romano has renewed hit subscription at Ononn's Library ; this augurs favourably of his Lordship's intention of prolonging his sojourn with us. The Duke of Bannon* seems to improve in health ; his Grace did not take his usual bath and equestrian airing yesterday, owing to the repulsive humidity prevalent. The Earl of IJSZURNE has eemoved front the New Steyne Hotel, and returned t• London. The Earl and Countess of WINTSILTON are prolonging their stay at this Hotel. Col. de BUROM left the Royal York Hotel this morning, for t•wa A project is on foot for erecting a new iron bridge across the Thames from Lambeth to the Horse-ferry Road ; the whole expense of which is calculated at only 163,5001. , Lately, at Bruges, Capt. GARTH and Lady ASTLET entered into the holy bands of matrimony. Sir JACOB ASTLEY has purchased two packs of hounds, and two packs of harriers. They are cad to be the finest dogs in the kingdom. Colonel THORNHILL having in consequence of his wounds retired from the command of the 7th Hussars and from the service, the Officers of that celebrated Regiment have voted him a piece of plate of the value of two hundred guineas. The Marquis of HASTINGS has had an accdent, which has occasioned serious alarm to his family. It appears, however, by the latest accounts, that danger was over, and that his Lordship was'gradeally recovering from the effects of the accident, although Ise was still confined to his couch.

THE TOR HlLL—There are few eras in the compass of English History, more abundant in the alternate predominanci of reason and superstition, gaiety and gloom, or, in a word, in all the materials coveted by the liomance-writer," than the reign of the Eighth Henry. This truth is ably illustrated by the writer of The Tor Hill, who has just given another proof of that talent in the living presentment of character, which has secured to his Bram bitty* House such extensive popularity. After giving a delineation of Baronial manners, and a picture of religious seclusion in Eng. land, as manifested In Glastonbury Abbey, just before the Re formation, the Novelist changes the scene to London, and we are presented with Sketches of " Life" of various kinds, from the idle Apprentices of Cheapside, the skulking Vagabonds and sin. pier Characters lurking in the Sanctuary of Westminster, the fashionable Roysterers, and the Debauchees ef the Court—to Car. dinal Worm, the ill-starred Queen C,'Amsann, and. Hinter the Emery himself, and his Mistresses. The invented Agents of the Plot are also strongly coloured, and are worthy of companionship with the historical personages. An Inquest was held at the London Hospital, on the body of W. Beck, late a labourer in Messrs. Smith's distillery, who was suffocated by carbonic acid gas, while attempting to draw a sample of won from a' quantity, then in a state of fermentation.... Verdict—Accidental Death. The remains of the Princes of the House of Lorrain 'have been transferred . to a chapel at Nancy, whence they were ejected at the time of the revoletion. A Gentleman, just arrived from Lisbon, mentions an interesting circumstance, which occurred at the opening of the Cortes. The Princess Royal was seated on the Throne, prepared to deliver the Speech which had been 'drawn up for the occasion, when the express arrived from Vienna, that the oath to the new formal' Govern ment had been taken, by Prince Miguel. Her address was consequently delayed, and the business of the As sembly suspended, the PA incess remaining on the Throne until this important event could be introduced into the Speed. The Princess Royal is described as' a woman of attractive person and engaging manners, blended with the dignity proper to jeer high station. She is about 25 yeura of age. • According to the Journal du 'Commerce, there is likely to be a aeriottsruptine between France rind Algiers. The French Government have demanded from the Day an explanation on thosubjeet of the visits made on the French packet boats by Algerine vessels. The Day is inflexible in his pretensions, and it is hinted that a French Beet might bombard the City, to bring the ob stinate despot to reason. . . A leper earlier at Manchester has been apprehended upon a charge of stealing letters containing money. A Usiddleaged man has been apprehended at Man `f,,bester on a charge of forgery.
