Austria, ind Russia, upon the refusal of adbArence of William to the IA articles, have ithilrawn themselves from the Conference, by de latinr: that they would no longer recognise Bel riuni. and that they would re-enter into the stipti ;miens lf the Congrest of Vienna.—La Rem it 6,14. Pe1,..1(1! war is declared. Our troops start with rise of joy. Will it by an universal war ? Will t czar against Holland only ?Itis at Ber tha: that question will he decided. If Prussia tipporm Holland, it is universal war ; but if it 3rces an act of wisdom from the King of Holland, , eace is better assitretl than ever. It will prove :hen that Kings do not wish for 7.-ar, and that ,encefarth it will be nearly ininossible, since ar mies are in campaign and g ill not decide it ; since n the midst of all these violent passions, which :Tear ready to explode every moment, a spark ;ails. Ind falls without dawger.—Journal des Debuts. It aipears positive that a personage in the se- Teti' of the Cabinet of Berlin, has declared to a erson attached to the Belgian legation, that 'russia has not taken any part in the declaration 4* war of the King of Holism.:: and on the ether ;and it is affirmed th , t M. dv Werther, whose de arture has not taken place as was said, has been M. d'Appony at the first receipt of that strange iews, and had assured the Austrian ambassador, hat not only Prussia is completely a stranger to tin resolution of the King of Holland, but that is disposed to make the protocols be respected. if this be true. as there is reason to believe, we must expect the entry of a Prussian corps upon the Ilelgian territory, for, in any caF4e, Prussia would lot leave to France all the charge of this pro- Ttion.--, Le Temps. We are aware of the existence of a party in terlin favourable to war. That party surrounds :if. King, and in some degree masters him; his 'ourt, his very family belong to that party. It is IP party of the Princes. Will the King of Prus -3 re.;ist that propaganda? Many think he will. is then in Berlin that the question of universal will be decided. France, in marching to assist ,dgiiirn against Holland, merely supports the in epenclence of a state she has created, and conti lu sto it her protection. We do not commence niverAal war; we leave that responsibility to others; e only aid our allies, decided to await the event, li:ltever it he, with arms in our bands.—Journal Tho English journals last received do not say here Admiral Codrington's fleet is, but every Ling indicates w•e shall soon hear of it in the icheldt. If Leopold has called for the assistance ef the King of the French, lie cannot have neg lected to ask for aid from his Britannic Majesty, there is no doubt that the English force will bo ;:irected to Antwerp.—Journal du Commerce. What will be the effect of our situation upon tlecign Cabinets ? evidently an effect of fear, for such is always in the exterior the result of every agitation which is manifested iu France. The first rciort of the retreat of a Ministry which has so witch contributed to the maintenance of the peace of Europe, will appear a probability of war, and at the same time we shall be believed weak, because we shall be seen divided. Under this point of view the Cabinets of the Absolutists will much de ceive themselves. There is amongst us, at present, but a Parliamentary question, and in no shape a fundamental division, upon the principle of our revolution. In putting off the theories of a allepub !lean Minority of young brains, which has less con sistence now than ever, we see a nation confident an her fortune, in her sentiments of liberty, in her governmeut, and her representatives. No real division exists in the Chamber of Deputies under a national and liberal aspect, for the two candidates It the Presidency were both of them patriots of .Itily. That which has just taken place in that assembly expresses nothing else than the recency of its formation, which has not yet permitted its four hunched members to understand each other upon any political question. But there is, nevertheless, fur foreign Cabinets, a great leeseti in what has fas.sed amongst us, and especially in those cries of •• Vive la Pologue !" which echo from all parts el France, and which must be attributed to some thing much more noble in itself than party spirit. 'I lie Cabinets ought then to reflect ou this teneency it the French people.--Messuyer. After a year of peace, solicited in all the courts, war begins. The Sag which fell at Waterloo from the hands of Napoleon is raised again at the places where it sunk, and it is to be remarked, that rever has that flag been the standard of peace, that Lever has it floated upon the towers of Notre Dame without the Kings of Europe leaguing to boat it dos it, that never has it fallen without bringing upon France all the tomes of the Continent. Seven times has it conducted our armies to the rencontre r ith Europe ; twice its fall has opened to Europe the gntes of Paris. Those, then, who would hope to tinike it a sign of peace, and who send ambassadors tai slow it to the Kings as a symbol of harmony, either ate ignorant of history, or take its lessons as a vain and frivolous game. These profound men do cot then believe that there is a fate attached to three stripes of carious colours. We will leave Gent to reason non it, since they will see plainly crcaab that wor Las come. It is true that they stali of peace ; they would prove even, that war is a new reason to believe in a general peace. air 50,000 net., they say. will not go further titan Amsterdam ; it is an affair a.4-rectl ot: between and NI. Casimir Perier, so well and compactly ogreed on, that M. Casimir Perier remains in the iii.stry, although he is a man of peace, par ca t tl.coce. For us, who have no Nlitiistry to support, c v believe in the probability of a universal war, of act war foretold since ever the tia; of our revolu tions and of our conquests has replaced our ancient colours. That which appears clear is, that the Ca binet of the Niels Royal, in declaring war with Holland, has been moved but by two thoughts, either the most absolute necessity for its own de fence, or the certainty of au easy campaign, nearly similar to that of Portugal. Every intermediate sup positico accords to our Cabinet a character of courage, which is absolutely against its nature.— If it is necessity, we shell not be long in learning it ; if it be the certainty of the consent of all the powers, it is possible that this military march will bring co serious change in our position, and it is good to-protect Belgium azainst the armed preten sions of her obstinate enemy.—L'Avenir. Up to this period the Ministry has not explain ed the situation in which the protocols of London hare placed Belgium. The fact is, that according to the terms of the protocols, this new state, ea well as its Sovereign. will not be recognized by Russia, Austria. and Prussia, unless the King of Holland shall hare accepted the eighteen articles of the conference of London, which will serve as the preliminaries of a treaty of peaco between Bel gium and Holland. The eighteen articles are not accepted by the King of Holland, Belgium, con sequently is not yet recognized by these three pourers. Thus the ambassador of Austria, and the Minister of Prussia, were assembled at four o'clock this afternoon, at the hotel of the Ambassador of , Russia, M. Pozzo di Borgo, in order to deliberate upon the entry of the French troops into Belgium, and agree upon the line of conduct which they ought to pursue. The English ambassador, as sisted at this conference, of which it cannot be Ir•Tig before we shall learn the result.—Le National. War is declared with Holland. William was not willing to submit to the eighteen articles of Lonlon ;it was his right. Belgium has accepted them ; it was hers. War will decide it. If Holland, in commencing hostilities, does not draw other powers in her train, it is impossible that she can resist the forces of Belgium united to those of France. But if William has received promises, and that NVarsaw sinks to-morrow, the armies which will meet upon the Scheldt and upon the Meuse will be but the advance posts of two camps, where the whole of Europe will have a rendezvous. The first cannon shot is fired, so far is clear; time will soon tell the rest. The news of war excited a lively sensa tion in Paris this evening. Generally, it was a sensation of joy, The uncertainty of war appear ing preferable to that cowardly peace which we have enjoyed for this year past, and the sentiments of justice push all minds to desire battles. We vaguely hope that it will triumph ; we mix in the common hopes for Belgium, Poland, and our own country. It is the first smoke of war ;it conceals always behind it glory, liberty, peace. We are sensible, we believe, that France has worthily acted, in lending succours to Belgium ; and that she will thus repair the long deceptions of which her ministry has been guilty, provided that diplo macy does not turn the victory against those who have earned it, and that it does not make even glory deceptire.—L'Aveair. France enters upon war in a new way, in the way in which her revolution opened to her, and before which our statesmen have recoiled for a year; France wages war. It is a war of inte rests, of alliance, which it agitates; thus rules diplomacy. But diplomacy will be wrong. It imagines that Europe is in accordance with us, and that it is to Europe that we throw the glove. Tho war of interests, from the day when France draws the sword, is a war of principles. We make a beginning at Antwerp, we shall finish— Where ? Our soldiers know well the way to most capitals.—Revolution. Nnthing again of Poland ; only the Corre spondent of Hamburg aunouoces the arrival at Raygood, of a corps of the 11;:ssian army, under, the orders of General Tolstoi, amounting to 20,000 men, and of 60 pieces of cannon. This corps is directed upon Ostrolenka and Pultusk ; it will be followed by another division of 15,000 men. These troops are without doubt destined to replace some one of those corps which have passed upon the left bank. This silence is difficult to explain. We conceive very well that the Polish Journals cannot arrive at Berlin; the possible investment of Warsaw by the Russians will render the com munications very difficult. But nothing can hinder us receiving news of the Russian army by the way of Thorn. The events of which the bor ders of the Vistula have been, or are now the theatre, will they be too contrary to the wishes of the Prussian Journalists ?—Revolutioa. The friends of the strong and generous policy of the government must applaud the determination which it has taken of sending immediately Mar shal Girard into Belgium, at the head of an army. This measure is but the consequence of the seccgnizance of the new kingdom of Belgium, a recognisance which was obtained and which ought to be defended by France; it is the application of the principles laid out in the diplomatic conventions subscribed to by the five great powers, and the entry of our soldiers upon the Belgian territory, sill be the most solemn consecration of the agree ment of these powers, and a proof of the veritable character which France will henceforth play upon the Continent. Far from being a signal of inquietude for the tranquillity of Europe, this war is in some sort a new pledge of peace. It is destined to prove to France, on the one part, that the disposition of the powers are of a nature to dis sipate the vain alarms with which it is inspired ; and on the other, that a country which can in tweuty-four hours thus put an army in march, ought to rest in security upon the preservation of its honour, of its dignity, and its independence.— /11cniteur. The gauntlet is thrown. There are immense complications of interests. • Behold the first blow at the treaties of of 1814 and 1815, it is the moment of proclaiming great truths, of truths which will be understood because they will be national. Every thing, in the treaties of 1814 and 1815, was made in the interests of England, against the interests l of France and against the repose of Europe. These ' acts placed at once all the continental powers in a subordinate and critical position. Great Britain rules by the fear of popular revolutions, and by the divisions which she is capable of sowing amongst others. Divide et impera is the axiom which she puts constantly in practice, and which she deposited in the stipulations of Vienna. We have seen the fruiu. Nothing favours the mercantile interests of Great Britain like revolutions, disorders, and divi sions. Whilst quarrels are decided upon the field of battle, she reigns sovereign: upon the seas, and she has but to agitate her trident to make laws to the world. She furnishes arms and ammunition to all the combatants ; she makes herself the ally of some and the arbiter of all, and when lassitude or victory has produced peace, conquered and con querers pay ransom to her, and she continues to reign by anxieties, disorders, and discord. The treaties of 1818 and 1815 disorganised Europe and only profited England. In drawing Prussia to France, they have formed of the kingdom of Frede rick the Great an incoherent state in Its parts, with out proportions, of an immoderate length, and which is neither Polish, nor German, nor French, but which is composed of these three elements. But it required to hold Fiance in respect towards' the Rhine without giving Prussia a consistence ca pable of deranging the views of the English ca binet, and Franco and Prussia were sacrificed. On the side of the Prussian fortresses were raised the ,Belgian fortresses, in order to bridle France, said Lord Wellington, and to bridle it by force, the British power, which surrounded these places with walls, became herself the inspector. Thus, upon all that line, was raised a wall of iron and bronze, upon which was placed, according to the expression of Mr. Canning, the artillery of popular excitations.— Gazette de France. LISBON, JULY 21. [OFFICIAL.] DEPARTMENT OF ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS AND JUSTICE. —The extraordinary effervescence shich existed for some days put in this capital, and which resulted from the general enthusiasm for the defence of the sovereign and the country, which was generally excited in the inhabitants by the entrance of the French squadron into the Ta gus having ceased, and thero being consequently no obstacle to prevent law and good order from entirely recovering the vigour and influence which they ought to have, his Majesty has resolved that your Excellency hall employ all the means in your power to prevent the repetition of certain ex cesses committed on the days alluded to by private persons against various other persons, who, they said, belonged to the revolutionary party. His Majesty is informed that these excesses were mostly provoked by some criminal acts of the persons on whom they were committed ; but law and jus tice, which alone can make the happiness of na tions, and maintain tho stability of thrones, do not permit crimes to be punished except by the com petent authorities and proceedings. Your Excel lency being thus informed of the will of his Ma jesty, must also be convinced that a recurrence of such excesses will be highly displeasing to his Majesty.—Lisbon Gazette, July 22. PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE. NOTTINGHAII7IFFICW, Alert:lE4 Mr. Buckingham addressed the inhabitants of Sheffield, in the Music Hall of that town, on Monday, August 1, with his usual great ability, on the subject adult approach ing privilege of sending representatives to Parliament. It fills above a page of this paper, and we can give but a few hP- Parailrap " I will begin, be says then, by stating, that when I first entered Sheffield, in order to call the attention of its opulent, I active, and enterprising merchants and manufacturers to the great importance of their joining the commuolties of other large towns in demanding that free admission to the mar kets of India, China, and the eastern seas, which is now so unjustly withheld from them by the East India Company's exclusive monopoly, I had not the most remote idea of my name being in any way connected with the representation of Sheffield in parliament. I delivered, as you remember, my introductory lecture on this subject, to a large and respects ble auditory, in this hall, one of whom, in a newspaper of the following week, first made the suggestion °tiny supposed fitness for the trust adverted to, which was followed in the paper of the subsequent week by an article commending the suggestion, and giving to it the weight of his sanction and en couragement, in terms far too flattering for me to repeat, but which the high and well-earned reputation of the paper and its conductors would not admit of me supposing to be otherwise than sincere. Other observations were elicited on this subject from other pens, so that In the public prints, and in private circles, the topic has obtained so much of notoriety, that I felt myself bound, in courtesy to those who had thus honoured my name with such an as. sociation of it with the most important public duties that an Englishman can be called on to perform, and in due respect to the community of the town itself, to take some public notice of the matter before I quitted it. My first impression was to have addressed a letter to the newspapers bearing my own signature, and developing my own views ; but on re-consideration, it appeared to me that after the cheering and public plaudits whish bad marked the pro gress of my humble labours among you, on the subject of India and eastern affairs—after the c ordial and flatter ing manner in which so many personal civilities and hos pitalities had been extended to me during my abort stay in your society, it would be more becoming in me, as well as more gratifying to my feelings—more respectful to you, and more harmony with that fairness and candour which I have always endeavoured to exhibit In every action of my life, to come among you openly again—to meet you face to face—to submit myself to any public challenge or open in. vestigation that might be desired—and personally to tell you all I thought or felt on the subject so interesting and so important to all freemen, as to who should be their chosen representatives. " This suggestion of my being placed in Parliament, not more as a fit and proper representative of any particular town, than as a tried advocate of the general emancipation of our commerce from all existing restraints, and the promo tion of our commercial intercourse with the oriental world, may to some of you, perhaps, be now heard for the first time ; but to those who are in the habit of reading the news papers of other parts of the kingdom, I need hardly say, that there is scarcely any town of importance in which my exposure of the evils of the East India monopoly has been made, in the papers of which this suggestion has not been made and repeated. " it is a most valuable principle in the British Constitu tion, that every man is theoretically recognized as having a right to some share, as undoubtedly every man has a deep Intense, in the government of the cottony, and that principle is distinctly recognized in many of the acknowledged maxims of constitutional law, but in none mere clearly than that which says ' " No man shall be taxed without his own con sent, given by his Representative in Patliament ;" and in the statute, " De to lagio non eoneedesdo," made by Edward I. and justly characterised by De Lohne, as forming. with Magna Charts, the basis of the English constitution. In carrying this system into practice, It could Dever, of course, happen that the exact views of every individual among the electors should be entertained or advocated by the repreien. native, for that would be clearly impossible ; but the man so chosen by them, being the one, out of any given number over whom the range of their choice extended. who most nearly resembled in his general views on all great and im. prune topics, the majority of the electoral body, they would have the strongest assurance that by such an individual their wants, their wishes, and their interests, would be most accu rately and faithfully represented in the legislative assembly. In the first place, the local interests of the town, its com merce, its prosperity, should be well understood and care fully attended to ; and for this purpose I think you could not possibly do better than select from among your own fel. low citizens, the individual whom, in all respects, you deem most competent, most vigilant, and most worthy to guard those interests well. On this head it would be presumption in me to bay more. Whoever that individual may be, your means of ascertaining his fitness, your power of judging of his qualifications, and your discretion in the selection may, I have no doubt, be relied on ; and my hope, as well as my conviction, . is, that you will do honour to the worthiest, as by that you will do most honour to yourselves. But you will not, lam sure, stop there; you will reas ona bl y infer that when the legisla ture gives to every large town the power of sending two members to par liament, it is neither intended nor expected that boll, of them shall be local and resident members ' • for every town, besides its interest in its own individual welfare, has undoubtedly a d ee p an d i mportant sta k e I n t h e welfare of every other place, and in the happiness and prosperity of the empire at large. The second member therefore, e•cmtidi"ll, hi he well might do, the guardianship of the local interests to his resident colleague, and acting cordially with him on all occasions in which his counsel or his aid can strengthen any exertions made on that behalf, should be a man of very general and extensive Information, and amid reside, if possible, either in or near the seat of go. vernasent itself, so as to be upon the spot at all times when urgent affairs required his presence; and thus to attend to that continued stream of public business, which no local member could so accurately understand, or so conveniently follow up,. as one- whose residence, whose connections, whose acquaintances, and whose habits was Strictly metro. politan ; and who, when in London, would be in every sense of tin word at home. " The qualifications of such a member should be manifold; and embrace. aa it appears to me, the following prominent characteristics at least : First—be should be a person of very varied and extensive erperience—his mind Noted with an ample knowledge of facts; mere especial)) , those bearing on the political, corn. menial, and social interests of his country and of mankind. Experience is the soundest basis of wisdom, and the safest guide in legislation. Secondly—Next to large and general exthe re-1 pruswitative should have the capacity to thi nly, and meson jusdy, upon the facts within his cognizance. Thirdly—lt le equally necessary that he should possess the power of communicating the experience acquired and the reasoning applied, to other persons by whom be should be' surrounded: for without this faculty, these advantages would be limited to himself. He should undoubtedly be able to give ready and powerful utterance to his thoughts,' in a style at once rapid, clear, and intelligible, winning and persuasive t for all these qualities would be in daily re quisition. Without this faculty, the wisdom of Socrates and Plato combined would be unavailing; the thunder of Demosthenes and the lightning of Cicero are wanting, to rouse the apathetic, to terrify the iniquitous, and to purge the political atmosphere of the constantly collecting cicuds which impair its healthiness, and render the tespirations of freedom less light and airy, and elastic, than they become after their dispersion before the purifying bolts and shafts of eloquence and truth combined. Fourthly--Again, in addition to this extensive experience of all men and things—this power of accurate thinking and this faculty to give persuasive utterance to such thoughts, should yet be supercdded the possession of robust and vi gorous health, a power of enduring fatigue, a fortitude to sustain defeat, a perseverance to renew the conflict when beaten, a seal that nothing can abate or tire, and such an entire exemption from all other claims and duties, as would enable the representative to give the full powers of his mind and body, and all the most valuable portion of his time as well as attention to the business committed to his care. "I pass from personal topics to say a word or two on the general line of policy which I should be anxious to advocate and pursue, should it ever be my lot to form one among the members of the British Senate. " I should lay it down as a maxim, that it being better to purify than altogether to destroy the settled institutions of the country, it would be wise, wherever practicable, to begin with this effort at purification, and to change only that which was found too -corrupt to be really capable of restoration or improvement ; and the particular branches of our policy to which those reforms ought first to be directed, should be, I think, the following : First—Reform in the Representation. This is the founda tion of all the good that can be hoped for, and without this be first laid, no superstructure raised upon the present rotten basis could possibly endure. The Bill before the House of Commons will effect this object to a very great degree. It is not, either in its principles or in its details, precisely the bill which I myself should have framed, had the task been com mitted to my hands; and no doubt there are many among its present supporters who see and feel that it has its de. fccts. But notwithstanding this, it is so signal an improve ment, on the previously existing system—it sweeps away so much more of the strong-holds:of corruption, titan the most sanguine could have anticipated, that I conceive it would be treason to the best interests of the state, to hazard the fate of that bill, by objecting to any of its de tails, or opposing or delaying its progress for a single mo ment through either House. Let it pass—let it be tried. Secondly—Reform in Taxation. This will undoubtedly be the very first thing that will press itself on the new Par liament, whenever it shall be chosen. The great error has hitherto been, that we have taxed poverty, and exempted wealth, imposing the greatest weight of the burden on those who are least able to bear it, while those on whom its great l i - est weight would have pressed , but lightly, have been suffered to go free. In all this there must be a great and immediate change. We must tax persons, and not things • and these persons not according to the amount of the com modities which they consume, but according to the property they possess, on such a graduated scale as would take from the poorer classes some five or ten per cent. of las income, and from the richer classes forty or fifty per cent. at least ; so graduating the intermediate links, as that, while the most opulent paid the largest proportion of their in comes to the service of the state, the men of moderate for tunes should contribute a moderate proportion of their gains, the people of smaller incomes less still, and the la-' bouring poor be entirely free from any demand upon their scanty pittance, and already insufficient means. Thirdly—Reform in the Church. This Is scarcely less necessary than either of the two preceding. The mon. strous inequality, not to say gross misappropriadun of wealth, in an establishment. the very essence of which ought to be temperance, chastity, self-denial, and humility, is so revolting to all our notions of Christianity, as they rue taught and exhibited in the Evangelises, that it appears to rue the best interests of sound morality, and religion would be served by demanding an equalisation of the wealth of the church among all its functionaries. and its appropriation to every purpose for which it was originally graitsd, so as to relieve the public or the state from the slightest addition to its funds. Fourthly—Reform in the law. This Van A nitwits% stable that needs as much cleansing as the defiled temple itself, and which it will require as great an effort to accomplish. Aly sentiments on this head may be very bricily told. If I were asked to give a short and clear definition of law, I should characterize it as a collection of rules for the guidance of human conduct, the observance of which should secure men from evil, and the infringement of which should subject than to punishment and pain. Now the first zequiiiiie in such rules is, that they should be clearly Intelligible, easily accessible, and so void of ambiguity, that every wan called upon to shape his conduct by them, may be able to have them by heart ; for, without this, how can he regulate his actions by what he can neither possess, read, nor uadentand 1 And yet, such is the cha racter of our law; more than half of it unwritten, existing ' I only in traditions, and dicta, and usages, and precedents, and decisions, constantly contradicting each other, and con. 1 stantly changing according to every varying interpretations of every succeeding judge; and the other half filling more than a hundred printed voumes, and written with so much studied obscurity and ambiguity, that no lawyer, whose whole life is devoted to its study, can be at any time sure of knowing the exact law on any given cage, without references, indexes, cobsultations, opinions, all purchasable only by large fees ; so that no man not a lawyer can be otherwise than at the mercy of the craft, to whom the " glorious un• certainty" of their interminable rubbish is its chief reams. mendation, as they live by its ambiguity, fatten on its de. lay, and triumph over plaintiff and defendant, over the victor and the vanquished, by making each party, the inno cent and the injured, as well as the guilty and the benefited, pay largely for the injustice received at their hands. My opinion is, that this is no other than organised and legalised plunder; and my conviction is, that it can and must be altered. Fifthly—Reform in Education. This, which I deem of equal importance with all the other reforms, would be the crowning blaming of the whole; and upon this I feel so strongly, that I should my it is a subject of deep and de. served reproach to any government whatever, to have a sin. gle human being within its dominions who could not read and write, and understand arithmetic at least. You will, perhaps, be startled at this, and ask me whether I would really make this an affair of the government to bring about I answer unhesitatingly, yes—and by the simplest of all modes. No cathedral, no church, chapel, meeting-house, synagogue, or other religious edifice, for assembly at public worship should be permitted to exist, without a free school for children of either sex—to the superintendence of which, should be appointed and paid out of the funds of such church, • male teacher and assistants for the boys—a female teacher and assistants for the girls—and that, by these, in separate apartments for each sex, gratuitous educa tion should be given to every child of their par ticular sect or community, between the ages of five and ten. Who among us all shall dare to say that they are too bumble, too insignificant, and too helpless to aid this great design of Providence, In becoming instruments to hasten that re generation *bleb the earth requires, and on which haven itself will beam its smiles of approbation ? Be ye, then, as parts of this great universe, imbued with that which cements, inspires, and beautifies the whole. Add to yourselves others of congenial minds and hearts—be united in your means, and faithful to your end,—then shall you find, that if know. kge be power, it is union which gives to It its highest degree of strength. Be firm, and you shall triumph. Be naked, and you shall retain the conquest you may win. Be virtuous, and you shall be hap. Be immutable in your jostles, and you shall be honour ed while living, and remembered nod revered when dead." (At the close of this speech, *Mich in its minim was marked by the most enthusiastic plaudits of sympathy and Admiration, the cheers were loud e r and l onger continua dam wore ever before remembered to have been heard witkils tae Hall in which it was delivered.] " Before I quit you, then (said Mr. Buckingham in cluyion)permit roe to leave behind use,as something that may be deemed worthy, perhaps, to be engraves on the minds of your children, as well as yourselves, an image or an a m , tier of the farce of that onion, which 1 so estnestly recom. mend.

The image then is this—the power of the cable in the ragi ng storm. Of what is it composed ?

But wind these fries fibres into r. thread, combine the requisite number of these tc form the strand, weave these again into the united rope, and cast the anchor from it into the fathomabk sea.

In the language m the psalmist, " They mount up to the tremens, t h e y go down again to the depths." But though the shit. treed bark shall touch alternately the very verge of heaven and earth • and though, to th e terror-stricken stranger, destruction seems inevitable ; the united weakness which forms the cable's strength, is the anchor of the sea . man's hope, and he sleeps in quiet, while the billows rock his cradle, and the tempest sings hi s lullaby, in th e conf i . dens rep osed on that tried and faithful emblem of fragility made force, which holds his vessel firmly to her anchorage, till the tempest subsides again to calm. Be ye, then, aura united, and you will triumph over every threatening storm,' POLICE REPORTS. lliannottoUGH-STREET. To st-sattn-Jsaav nto. Messrs.

It appeared that Sir Joseph had been brought up in a monastery abroad, that his family estates were gone, and that the complainant, who was distantly related to him, had sup ported him for some time, until, weary and unable, she held her hand. Of late, the unfortunate man, certainly through his own imprudence, has been wandering about town with scarcely a rag to cover him, and sleeping out in stables, and under gateways, and wherever be could thrust his head in. In the condition just described, be called on the complainant on Saturday, and having received the little that it was in her power to give him, he endeavoured to get into the house, an attempt in which, if he had succeeded, it would have been impossible to get him out again until, as the complainant described it, he should have eaten her out of house and home. In the attempt, however, he was foiled; sod exas perated to • great degree, be waited in the neighbourhood, until she had occasion to leave home, and then COMMeneed abusing her, and ultimately gave her • severe blow on th. breast. The assault was witnessed by a policeman, who, at the complainant's desire, took him into custody. Mr. Murray said that pest pains had been taken in th, ease of the defendant, who although inheriting a title tem his ancestors, yet was without the means of supporting it. Situations had been procured for him, and he had been also assisted with money, but he (Mr. Murray) was sorry to say that the defendant had contracted such habits of idlereas and unwillingness to do any thing to earn his own subsist. cam, that all those individuals who were anxious to be of service to him were prejudiced against hins v arerbag an the disposition he had all along evinced. The complainant having declared that dm Imo iherfel the defendant would renew the attack upon bee is the eves .4 his liberation, the Magistrate inflicted a lino on Yak and In default of payment, he was committed for one month to gaol The Defiance and Subscription Exeter conches recently performed the 17 miles between Staines and Los. don in b 8 minutes.

STEAM VESSELII.--It appears that in the year 1543, a certain sea officer, called Blue* de Garay, fiend to exhibit before the Emperor Charles V. a machine, by means of which a vessel should be made to move without the assistance of either sails or oars. Though the preposai appeared tidicaloas, the man was so mach in earnest, that the Emperor appointed a commission to witness and report upon the experiment. It consisted of Don Enrique de To ledo, Don Pedro Cardona, the Treasurer Ravago, the Vim Chancellor Grail., and many experiment! seamen. The experiment was made the 17th of Jane.. 1543, on board a Veenl called the Ttinidad, of two Misdeed barrels' Larder, which had lately arrived with wheat from Colibre.
