The correspondence between Lord Sidmouth and Sir Robert Wilson, and the minutes of what passed in an interview between the latter gentleman and Sir Richard Birnie, will be read with lively interest by every one. The Secretary of State for the Home Department implies that in his Office there is a deposition, which it is known is founded in perjury, and he refuses to deliver it up for the purpose o prosecution—thus placing the /Egis of his official power between a villanous delinquent and the jus. tice of his country. This document, however, has been acted upon by Ministers (shrouded under the King's prerogative), and acting under the belief of its verity, they have advised the most unjnst, op pressive, and censurable exercise of a power which is " had and holden of the people" for their benefit. --The communication with the Chief Magistrate of the British Police is more ridiculous, on his part, than any occurrence we remember on the part of so high and mighty a character! He declares, (after having repeatedly asserted, during the inquisitorial proceedings towards the landlord of a public-house at Hammersmith, that depositions had been taken that " no information in writing had been taken ; " that the information was a verbal one, founded " upon a report at the Freemasons' Tavern of a " meeting having been held at Hammersmith, at " which an officer had been present ; but that, on " the examination of the tavern keeper at Hammer- LASt NIGHT'S 05ig8772.

Wilson is with out excuse, without palliation, but we hope it will not be without punishment—the popular feeling will more than remunerate him for any pecuniary loss, and as to the degradation that might have attended his dismissal for any misconduct..such misconduct not having taken place, that degradation recoils upon the head that contemplated it, upon the hand that was the means of attempting its comple tion. When Parliament meets, the business must, and will undergo a close investigation—.there are honest Members in the House of Commons, who vote with Ministers from a distortion of political vision, but we firmly believe that none but their perfect slaves—none but those whom they have the power to make and unmake, will allow their names to be disgraced by standing in eteuse of an act which even exceeds the general disgraceful littleness of the present system. Dutch papers to the 24th inst. arrived yesterday. We extract the news from Hanover. Hm.rovea, Orr. 13.—The bulletin of his Majesty' health on the 16th was as follows: •' His Majesty has passed the night without sleep.— In other respects his Majesty is as yesterday." On the ,17th no bulletin was published. His Majesty had had several hours rest, and was much better. On the 18th no bulletin. His Majesty had had a good night, and the paie had entirely left him. In the evening there was a large company in the saloon of the Palace, at which all the Princes and foreigners of distinction were present. On the 19th no bulletin. The Ring had a very good night, and is quite well. _ . We have the greatest pleasure in communicating to our readers the above [accounts of the 'Clog's health, which give reason to suppose that the ardeut wishes of four kingdoms are fulfilled. The military evolutions executed on the 16th were fa voured by the finest weather, and collected an immense crowd of spectators, who were enabled to form a clear idea of the nature of military operations, by a repiesen tation of a regular attack and defence. Ou ,the 17th the cavalry executed various evolutions. On the 18th, the anniversary of the battle of Leipsic was celebrated by • grand parade of all the troops. In the evening there were splendid fire-works in the gardens of lierrenhausen, where every body had free aslinittance ; notwithstanding the crowd, not the slightest accident or disorder occurred. Cards of admission to the inner Court were given to above 9,00 d persons. To-day is the great hunting party; in the evening his Royal Highness the Governor. General gives a grand ball BiRLIN, OCT. 76.—The Chevalier de Salmon, Spanish A inbasador to the Court of Russia, has arrived here coming from St. Petersbiirgh. Mr. Rose, the English Ambassador, is gone to Hanover, where he is arrived. The Pavillion at Brighton is to be forthwith lighted with gas. Messrs. Palmer and Green have received orders to fit it up for the purpose, and splen did chandeliers are now making under their direc tion. The lights for the music and hanquetting rooms, and for the grand entrance, are ordered to be ready 1:1 the Kings return. It is also intended to have a range of lamps, lighted with gas, in front of the Pavillion ; the effect of this must be magni ficent and brilliant in the extreme. As many as 150 lamps arc, we hear, already ordered. Two panncls in the splendid mask-room have been re moved, by order of Mr. Nash, for the purpose, as we hear of making some alteration in the flues of the apartment. The public cannot fail to recollect with what eagerness the Ministerial journals promulgated a story of Napoleon's having selected St. Helena for the place of his interment. We, however, are ena bled to state, from the best authority, that it is a gross fabrication. The fact is, that Counts Bertrand and Montholon, finding that their demands to the Governor that his remains should be removed to Europe fur burial, according to his will, were una vailing and fruitless, designated a spot which Napo. icon seemed to have had most pleasure in frequenting, prior to the restrictions imposed by Sir Hudson Lowe, by which he was only permitted to walk or ride upon the high road, and was prohibited front entering into houses, or even speaking to persons whom he might casually encounter. Napoleon's body was buried on the island, where he died, in consequence of an order of the British Government sent over in 1820. 341 NORTH EASTERN DISPENSARY. TO Tkii EDITOR. SIFt..-4 have before me a Circular which has been very generally distributed through the parish of Islington (of which 1 am an old inhabitant) purporting to be a Report of what took place " at a numerous and highly respectable meeting, convened on Thursday, Oct. 11th, 1821, at the Angel Inn, Islington, for the purpose of considering the best means of establishing a Dispensary at Islington, for the relief of the sick poor, in that neigh bourhood, and in the adjacent district." I cannot but lament that the notice of an intention to hold such a meeting was not as extensively circulated as the account of its proceedings, because, had it been so, 1 do believe that some of the resident inhabitants, who might have at tended, would have prevented the passing of resolutions which give the whole business the appearance of a gross job, and which resolutions must be rescinded before pro bable success can be expected in the attempt to establish a Dispensary for the parish and immediate neighbourhood of Islington.—l solicit yew publication of my ob jections to the proceedings hitherto had, because I know • that your Paper is generally taken in the vicinage of the intended establishment. This meeting was held pro. lessedly " for the purpose of considering the best means of establishing a Dispensary at Islington, for the relief of the sick poor in that neighbourhood, and in the adjacent district." A man who, in point of respectability, is trot,' to any inhabitant of the parish, was voted into the chair, and under the sanction of his name resolutions were passed, by which the Physicians, Surgeon, and Resi.kuit Apothecary, were elected, although the meeting, which, in the Circular before me, is designated as a meeting " for the purpose of considering the best means of esta blishing a Dispensary at Islington, for the relief of the , sick poor in that neighbourhood, and in the adjacent district," was, properly, only preliminary to a general meeting, at which a committee should have been ap. pointed, and which committee should have published notices of the intended election, at a future period, of the officers of the establishment. In order that the vro ceeditigs of this first meeting might be consisten,ly invmsistent, it is notified at the foot of the Address, twat " a general meeting of the Governors will take Alice at the Angel Inn, Islington, on Tuesday, the 30th instant, at seven o'clock in the evening, and it ie earnestly re quested that all persons friendly to the institution will be present." Nuw ' Sir, I can find no trace of the apiao fit ment of any " Governors," and being anxious for the successful establishment of a Dispensary in my district (because I consider it a most unobjectionable means: of beneficially distributing the donations of the diluent, and the least of all liable to the impositions of the nude sereina), I fervently hope that at the projected meeting motion will be carried for rescinding the former reselu. tions—for cancelling the premantre elections, and for commencing, de novo, upon a plan which, from its appa rent fairness and impartiality, shall be above any sort of suspicion. _ am, Sir, your constant reader, AN OLD ISLINOTONIA.V. Llighbury, Oct. Sii, RAMO/erg, 0111 T. 23.—About eight o'clock this morning, one of his Majesty's messengers arrived here on his route from Hanover to London, ttith " highly important" despatches for the Foreign office. He left Hanover on Wednesday, the 17th, and arrived at Calais on Sunday afternoon, the '2 st • inst. None of the regular packets were ready to sail, or likely to leave till the next day, even s;•.;s posing the wind should look fair; and as the ur gency of the messenger's mission had been iin. pressed on him, he engaged an open boat, with' seven men to convey him across the channel. This boat started from the harbour of Calais about tour o'clock on Sunday afternoon, and made towards Dover. The weather was then fine. and the sea' steady, though somewhat contrary; but after being out at sea about two hours there came a vioielit storm. To make for Dover was found to be dan gerous, as well as useless, to make for Deal.—. The wind blew uncommonly hard, and the Inca, began to despair of even getting so near Deal as to to enabled to raise the customary signals for boats vs come out, This object, however, was eventua'♦ accomplished, after having been blown about fhr a long time; but on making the usual signs, they were answered by the firing of guns, that the boats could not venture out, owing to the severity of the gale. The boat kept out at sea, and after be.:ti•ig about for a considerable time it laid to, and ca afterwards made for Ramsgate. With great dab-, culty it was enabled to make Ramsgate pier, and eventually to get within our harbour about ei;„lit o'clock this morning. The perilous ►ituation of 'he boat had been observed for some time, and it gave great satisfaction to see it at last regularly snaking for Ramsgate pier. The whole party, who h.al thus been beating aoout in an open boat for 16 h( 4 , N, while the ordinary passage occupies only three r four, on landing, were, as you may imagine, ;,•rearly exhausted. The sea had been beating ever them for hours, three or four of the men occupying therwelves in bailing out the water. The messenger ►ery soca afterwards proceeded in a post chaise for Lunde% wet as he was.
