Thus the meeting would perceive that the letter 1), which the Courier had so much sneered at—(laughter)—was attached to a real subscription of 5001. that A was also so attached to a subscription of 5001.—and so on. Now, after the Courier should have seen these sums advertised as subscribed and paid into a banker's hand, (Mr. Weatherstuue) should still doubt that he would acknowledge his belief in the reality of the subscription ; for he was afraid that it was not that writer's wish ever to believe that to be true which proved to be of advantage to this couttry.—(Bear•) The remaining resolutions were proposed and carried unanimously. The Chairman then announced, that the following stints had been subscribed in the room ; viz• :—Mr. AVilliains, M.; " Down with Derry Down," II (laughter); to which suhscriptions, gentlemen, he con tinued, I beg to add my own name for 201.—(Cheers.) It was then announced, that the committe would sit from two to four in the afternoon, at the Three Tuns, to receive subscrintions. Mr Alderman WOOD could not allow the meeting hi break op without proposing that their thanks al Id be given to their worthy Chaiiman, for his able, impartial, and becoming conduct in the chair ; nor without advert ing, with great gratification, to the very temperate a nd excellent conduct of the meeting itsvlf. This resolution was carried by acclaina:ion ; and the Chairman in a few words having returned his thanks, (which were greeted with similar expressions of ap plause), declared the meeting to be dissolved. The meeting then separated, having been occupied exactly one hour; during which time, it is perhaps superfluous to say, meir demeanour had been, without exception, of the must correct and orderly character. - - -- FROM LIST mGlirs GAZETTE.

A meeting of the inhabitants of Southwark has been held, to take into consideration the dismissal of Sir 'lotion Wilson :—and similar meetings will be held in every place of importance where the ho nourable feelings of Englishmen have not ceased to *silt.

THE NATIONAL REGISTER would have disgraced any other Junta—to them it does honour as it supports their CONSISTENCY, in a line of conduct which, if pursued much further, will either conquer the British Constitution, or oblige those who are really attached to the vene rable fabric, to take means for its preservation, which may possibly overwhelm the reptile beings who have long been endeavouring to destroy it. In the late war Sir Robert Wilson rendered the most important services. He was presented subse quently to the battle of Bautzen, by the Emperor Alexander, with the Cross of the Russian Order of St. George, as a public and honourable testimonial of the Emperor's approbation of his conduct on that well-contested field. And the Emperor, in a letter witten with his own hand, referred to this occasion in these words When I decorated yon, in the face of my as my, with the badge of St. George, I did justice to the indefatigable zeal which, during the whole of the campaign, has constantly attached you to the advanced guards—to the brilliant valour and devotion of which I have been an eye-witness at the lualle of Bautzen ; and, finally, to many other prcafs of intrepidity, attested by en the brava war riors of the combined army." Similar testimonies to his transcendent merit were borne by the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria. And Prince Schwortzenberg, the commander-in-chief of the allied forces, officially declared to the English am bassador, that he considered the success of the al lies in the great and decisive battle of Leipsic to have been s;gnally promoted by Sir Robert Wilson's judicious disposition of the Austrian cavalv, and by his conduct on that glorious day.—And vet, be cause this excellent officer, who is as humane as he is brave, chose to beg of a brother officer that he would prevent his soldiers from firing upon his Ma jesty's unalined subjects, he is to be dismissed from the army, and deprived of that pittance he had earned by twenty years of heroic, assiduous, and successful exertion. Mails from Flanders have just arrived. The fol lowing are extracts : " BRUSSELS. SEPT. 29.—His Britannic Majesty, in one of the court carriages, drawn by six horses, went yesterday •i the palace of Lacken, at half past four o'clock. Lrod Claticarty fol lowed in another carriage. There was a grand o .,, ner, and then a play. When his Majesty returned to Brussels, the Alice Verte was illuminated.

Letters dated the 4th ult. were received on Thurs day from Odessa, but still without finally determin ing the question of peace or war. They had advice" which had ken only seven days on the journey r..um St. Petersburgh, yet the most important filet that transp'•ed was, that the English Ambassador had the honour, twice in the week, of dining with his Imperial Majesty. No doubt is, however, enter tained of the amicable termination of the difference between Russia and the Porte, as c; ;ht regiments of Russian troops had receivel orders to retreat from the frontier : and the commanding officer at Sebas topol had been directed to discontinue fitting nut the fleet. The appointment of another ambassador to Constantinople, it is supposed, will be tae mode in which the pacific views of the Emperor Alexander will be first manifested to Europe. A letter ;*.oin Smyrna, of the 29th of August, mentions a fact of great importance, if its truth can be relied upon. It states, that the amnesty of the Turkish Sultan had been communicated to the Greek fleet in the Archipelago, and that many of their ships had determined to accept it, and to aban don the contest. This information was given at Smyiaa by a small French vessel of war, the master of which declared he had met several Greek ships of w.ir returning to their respective islands to disarm. 317 gir Robert Wilson's case is not the only one of a similar nature. Serjeant Cummins, after 16 years service in the army, two of which he served as Cor poral, and nine a Serjeant in the Royal Marine Artillery, was some time ago dismissed without court-martial, or any inquiry at which he was pre sent, merely for proposing in a company the Queen's health, after that of the King had been drank. For this heinous offence this meritorious soldier, whose conduct, although a subaltern, has gained him an Order from the Emperor Alexander, has been dismissed after 16 years service, without pen sion or any remuneration whatever ! Thus are a brave man and his family left to perish, merely be muse he had humanity enough to wish well to an injured, heart-broken lady. It would appear, then, that the idea entertained by soldiers that they have a right to pension, after a certain number of years service, if guilty of no offence, is altogether an illu sion, as they may at any time be discharged without cause, and without the sentence of a court martial, which is countered as a bar to any claim of pension. Soon after the death of her late Majesty, the Rev. Mr. Einmott, of Yam, a dissenting minister, longing to the Stockton circuit of the IVesley i al Methodist connexion, being appointed to preach at Stockton, refused to do so, because the pulpit of the chapel was not hung with any emblem of mourning befitting the solemn event to which we have alluded, observing that the absence of such customary indi cations of honour on the demise of any branch of the Royal Family, was a tacit acknowledgment that her Itijesty was guilty of the accusation of her eneudea, But, in consequence of repeated solicitations, he waved his objection, and consented to preach ; and he preached accordingly from the following passage: —" Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked; between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not."—Malachi, c. id. v. 18.—The reverend gentleman from these words delivered a most excellent discourse, which was so pathetic in parts, as to draw tears and sot's from the congregation, concluding it with the Queen's own emphatic observation, " They have destroyed me." A letter, in the French papers, from Marsala, in Sicily, states, that six slaves at *lnnis lately formed and successfully executed a plan for robbing the Dey of his own arms, which are of exquisite work manship and great value. They embarked on board a small vessel, and stood for Sicily. The Dey having discovered the rubbery, sent one of his cur sairs atter them, but which did not come up with the fugitives until they had got within the canoe of the Sicilian batteries. Both vessels entered" ('Sc port of Marsala together,. where they arc put uncL:r quatiintine. The magistrates of Marsala have thus time to consider what they should do in this case. Extract of a letter from Havre, dated Oct. 2 " I am sorry to inform you that the commereial notifies between the United States and France out Lc settled so easy as was first imagined, awe according to the present appearance, will con:in: - .e much longer; in consequence of which the Aineri ! eon trade inuat continue to be carried on by Englith %roads." Extra , t of a letter from Madrid, dated Sept. 17. " Eta Replateur, a French jour nal, which is pub 'fished in this capital, having printed and circulated n paragraph in one of his last numbers, the Minister Plenipotentiary of England passed a note to the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs, demanding the imprison ment of the editor, M. Chapuis, a Frenchman, and the cessation of the journal. The Minister replied, that his authority was bound by the laws ; that he could not impose any punishment, nor any way int. pede the press. Upon this the British Minister car ried his complaint befixe the competent tribunal, and the passage was translated before the Jury of Accusation, who dismissed the complaint. The greatest obscurity prevails in regard to the events which have caused the recal of Gen. Riego from his , command in Arragona. He uud all his friends repel in the most positive manner, the accusation of republicanism. Saragossa, Valencia, alai all the towns in Spain have displayed great enthusiasm in favour of the General, and loudly blame the Minis ter, who elvelopes in mystery an affair which involves the mest illustrious name in our revolution.--- The Count (le Montezuma, the last descendant of the ancient Emperors of Mexico, has resolved to aspire openly to the throne of his ancesto.s. He has enrolled at Baurdeaux many persons to aid hia in his cnterpt ise, and many officers of merit quit the Spanish setvice to follow the standard of this Pre. tender. The Spanish emigrantsat Bayonne have o ga !Used a band of one hundred aimed mon to enter Spain, and excite the inhabitants against the Cobsti tutionel System.
