MALT AND BEER.—The repeal of the duties on these articles will not enable the labourer in London to get good beer at a moderate price, unless the brewers' monopoly and the arbitrary licensing system be also abolished,— unless, in fact, a fair competition compel p ublicans to sell a good and cheap article. At present those who sell at 4d. a pot, enable themselves to do so by diluting the. beer, which is done in manner following :-41bs. of burnt sugar, 2lbs. of salt, and 20 gallons of water to one butt' of beer.

We believed Joe ES to be dead ; but we were mistaken. He still lives, and has friends still. We have seen a private letter from him dated the I 1 th instant, in which the old leaven is mani fest. " Conceiving," says JONES, " that one of the most effectual means to promote benevolent habits, and restrain men from tyrannising over their own species, is to inculcate forbearance from acts of wanton cruelty towards the helpless and unoffending part of the brute creation, I am about to publish"—here we must stop, wing the fear of Mr. MACQUOID before our eyes. We i simply wished to inform those who laboured under the same delusion as ourselves, that JOHN GALE Joe ES is still alive—is quite well—and at work. We have received papers from Cartha,gena in Colom bia, to the 14th of October, relative to the revolt of General CORDOVA, and the means taken to suppress it, but we find that they contain no intelligence of a later date than the accounts which we copied from the New' York papers more than a week ago (or Tuesday, the Bth instant), and confirmed by private letters in our city ar ticle of Saturday last. This revolt, it would appear, began en the 12th of September, at Rio Negro, in the province of Antioquia. CORDOV A was at first joined by l the Governor of the place called JARA iid um), and his brother along with twenty men. With this small force, he prOceeded to Medellin, where he encountered no op position. On the 13th, he sent a despatch to the Go vernor of the province, in which he described the object. of his insurrectionary movement, and invited him to call a meeting of the authorities, and servants of Government, to swear resistance to the pretensions of the Li enasroa, and fidelity to the constitution of Cucuta. On the 15th of September this meeting took place, and Co inov A presented himself before it, denouncing the Li Beesrolt,l and painting in strong colours the calamities which he had brought on his country. The Governor of the pro vince joined CORDO V A in these calumnies and misrepre. mutations.

His deep blue eyes, u they tenderly sho• e, Had no fond beam o' lave that was na' my ain ; An' their how delighted our glances unia•d— Oh were na' my heart light I wad die Ili' gay, gladsome brow, and his manly form, An' bis smiles o' joy that the coldest might warm! When be said that be loved me;to rapture he moved me Oh, were na' my heart light I wad die. The vows o' passion that other men breathe, Are like sighs i roses wi' serpents beneath, But he loved his airs Mettle, aye dearer than any— Oh were na' my heart light I wad die. As ruddy as health was his cheek's bright glow, An' his lips might vie wi' the coral, I Crow, An' his neck diselosen, was snow new frozen— Oh were na' my heart light I wad die. But an early blight, like the first Spring frost, Came o'er his youth's blossom—an' my hope was lost— I watch'd him declining and leisurely pining— Oh were na' my besrt light I wad die. Slow were his pangs—but his soul shone through, Like the gleaming that liptens the long night's dew, But his struggles were over. ere Man could discover — Oh were na' my heart light I wad die. He sank still and soft, as in silent sleep, And I knew be was dead—yet I could na' weep— But I clung to his bosom, as loth to Ithe him— O were na' my heart ilgbt I wad die.

THE THEATRES.KEAN is still pre-eminently suc cessful at Drury-lane ; and with respect to the other places of resort, a play-goer informs us that the Elephant fills the house much better than Miss KESIBLE. Some time since we noticed a correspondence between a foreign gentleman---M. MEIRELLEs.—and the Deputy Comptroller of the Foreign Post-office, on the subject of alleged overcharges on the transmission of newspapers to Rio; and other irregularities—more especially in the detention of letters addressed to Bankrupts. We are again requested to publish a letter on this subject, which we must decline. We presume that Mr. MEIRELLES is charged no more for his newspapers than other people ; and as he informs us that he has " commenced actions" on this and the other matters, " against Sir FRANCIS FREELINO and the Postmaster at Liverpool," we think he had better patiently await the result of these actions. At all events, after carefully perusing his statements, we again decline publishing them, believing—in which be lief all will agree—that the publication of cx parte statements, pending a trial, does no good to the com . plaining party, and is manifestly unjust to the party , accused.

GRANTHAM, DEC. 14.—DEATH OF LADY TI10.• RALD.—We are concerned to announce the death of Lady TIIO RA LD, after a somewhat protracted indisposi tion. This afflicting event occurred last evening, about nine o'clock, at Sir Joint HAYFORD THORALD'S resi dence, Syston-house, near Grantham. Her Ladyship was the eldest daughter of the late, and.sister to the pre sent, Sir CH ARLES KENT, Bart. of Ponton-house, Lin colnshire. Lady THORALD'a loss will be moat severely felt by her family, by her numerous dependents, but most of all by the neighbouring poor, to whom she was a liberal benefactress in the most extended sense of the term. She has left an only son, aged 14, heir apparent to this very ancient title, and the large estates connected with it. According to a letter front Marseilles, serious distur bances have recently taken place at Tunis.

Private letters of the 30th ult, from Madrid, announce that fears are entertained that no act of amnesty will be published, as individual marks of favour are conferred daily by the King.

There is a good deal of saucy wit in Lord By aow's anecdote of the fair astronomers.

We recently mentioned a serious disturbance at Toillon, betweea a party of soldiers of the Bth regiment of the line and a party of sailors. By letters of the 4th instant from that town, we learn that the dispute was renewed on the preceding day, when several sailors and tuo of the soldiers were killed. General alarm being spread through the town, the patrols were doubled ; at the same time the remainder of the Bth regiment was called out from the barracks, and parading the streets, took into custody all the disputants they could meet with.—Paris Paper.' To show the great difference of the estimated value of landed property in different parts of England, we give the result of the sale of two estates yesterday in theCity.—A freehold farm in the parish of Godatone, Surrey, compns ing a good farm-house, numerous agricultural buildings, gardens, orchards, and 229 acres of meadow, pasture, amble, and wood land, and producing a rental of 1501. per annum, was sold at Garraway's for 3,730/. --At the Mart, a freehold estate, producing the same rental, situate in the parish of Great Glenn, Leicestershire, consisting of a sporting residence, farm buildings, and 97 acres of land, was knocked down at 4,8501.—A leasehold house and shop, Strand, two doors from Arundel-street, held for 21 years at 151. ground rent per annum, was sold at the same time for 1,2101. LEGAL FRACAS Various incorrect rumours have been afloat within the last two days, with ref recce to the awkward misundur-tend ne . and consequent unpleasant language that toek place in the Court of Chancery on Friday morning last. between Sir I dward Bur handsaw Sendai. the present Solicitor-General, and Sir Chinks Wetherell, the late Attorney-General. We are enabled from a , gold source, to stare all that occurred respecting these genii- - men, in the natter subsequently to whet passed in Court. Its a remarkably short time after the disagreeable proceesibig in the Court. but not before the two Learned Gentlemen in question hid retired from thence, a good deal of curiosity and surmise were c eded by the appearance of Mr. Plank, the chief officer of Marlbo rough-street Police-office,accompained by Clements and Ballard,' wo other officers belonging to the same office.who were seewpo ying ab Stone buildings, and seemingly with a very watchful eye, directed to Lincoln's Inn Hall. They did not, however, it was clear, then effect any thing, for after waiting about until the Court rose, they de parted with great speed s taking different directions, and evidenly much disappointed as to some object they had in view ; and that object, from the following particulars which we have since learned, could have been no other than the arrest of the two Learned 61 si demen in question. We understand that in a very short time after th officers were seen to quit the neighbourhood of the Car t, the house and chambeta of the Solicitor-General were each visited by Plank : but he in vain inquired for the Learned Gentleman him' self, of whom or when likely to be met with, neither clerks servants, itor any one else, could give any account. The dicers, how ever, it seems, was not to be baffled in the end ; for after. as is said. tracing the Learnt I Solicitor through various windings, hr came up with him about it o'clock the same nig, t • at the re-idence of Mr. Jemmet, se bo, we believe, is the broth. t - in-law of the learned Gentleman, in Bedford-place, Beolfo-.1- •qu ore, when, in the parlour, as we have beard, the officer found both Sir Edward and 14. Jemmett carefully essmining , some paper'. Plank immediately, as we learn, announced his name and business to the former gentleman, and requested his presence helot e a Magistrate; but the Learned Gentleman peremptorily refused to accompany him, and declared that he was not bound t.* attend before any Magistrate in the kingdom, but it was the business of a Magistrate, if he wanted him, to conic to him. The officer, we understand, remonstrated against the Construction of the usage of Magi trate., and as the Learned Gentleman seemed still reluc tant. and almost determined no - to yield, produced his ' warrant and told the Learned Gentleman, that under t hat oncestrity lie must be excused for not suffering the Learned Gill dawn to leave his sight until he conveyed him before the Magi - trate who bad issued that warrant. Sir Edward now, seeing that any attempt to shake off or evade the officer was vain, co-as-toed, by the advice of Mr. Jemmet, to give way, and at nearly twelve o'clock on Friday night, be al peared in custody of the loffic r. before J. E. Conant, Esq. the resident Magistrate at Marlborough street, where he, and one gentleman besides, as his surety, were bound in heavy recognizances, that the Learned Geraleor:,n should not commit any breach of the peace towards any f his Majesty's subjects, particularly Sir Charles Wetherell. after which the Learned Gentleman departed, with Mr. Jens met, in his carriage. Great as was the difficulty which, it seems, Plink had in tracing out the object of his search, much more difficulty, or rather delay, took place with the other two officers, who had been despatched in pursuit of Sir Charles Wetherell; for this gentleman, it seems, gave all his domestic*, &c. to undersold that he would be at his chambers all that even ing, while, in fact, he never went near his chambers, but, after remaining from home to a late hour, was taken into custody at two o'clock in the morning, and instantly conveyed before the same Magistrate at that hour, and he, too, as well as a gentleman as his surety, bound in equally heavy recognizances to keep the peace towards all his Majesty's subjects, particularly Sir Edward Burton shaw Sugden. This, we believe, is an accurate statement of what bas occurred as to this unpleasant matter. The watrants for the apprehension of these gentlethen were issued, we understand, on the sworn informations of one of the highest personages in the country. It is to be hoped that the example of his Majesty, in insisting upon being supplied with butcher's meat at a moderate rate, will be followed by all his subj , ?cts ; the butchers at Windsor have lowered 2d per lb. At the fair of Blaye, held on the 29th ult., a great number of knives, pictures, snuff-boxes, &c., brarins the effigy of Bonaparte, were seized by police officers..

Mr. Esdai:e expatiated on the quantity of labour which min could ptsform by the prepr appropriation of titue. Of this be could adduce a remarkable example in himself: " I beg to state (said the Rev. Gentleman) that a few months ago I killed a salmon and wrote a ser mon before breakfast !" It is generally supposed by those aberwise well in formed, that the circumstance of Bishops, or other Eccle siastics, having seats in the Legislature, is peculiar to England. This is a mistake. This feature in der Constitution is one which was characteristic of the Scot tish Constitution for centuries previous to the connection with England---so far hack, indeed, if not much farther, as the 12th century. It is stated in ancient documents connected with the history of the county of Elgin, the authenticity of which cannot be doubted, that the abbey of Kinloss was founded by King David 1., in January, • 1150, and that the Abbot was mitred and had a seat in Parliament.
