The Leaders laid down to rest, but they laid down with their armour on, and with their weapons under their pillow. As for their ern imaries, they never slumbered even for a moment; and while it was thought that this wicked fiction was rooted out of the country, it was raising new levies in the dark ; and the mischiert, opinions which were supposed to have worked their o destruction, by the frightful consequences whielt had feel , lowed them, were spreading as actively, and were received as eagerly, as ever. No one suspected that the repLl of tllc Conbination Lams would be the prelude to those insurrectionary move- ments among the workmen, which have followed, and' which threaten the utter annihilation of our prosperity as a commercial nation. Those wtio supported that meature are not blameable for went of foresight. The master manufacturers themselves, much to ti'e credit of their liberality, advocated tile repeal of those statutes. Out of upwards of sixty masters examined before the Setae'. COYXIT TEE, all,with the exception of three, gave their evi tdenee strongly in favour of the repeal. They showed, in sal doing, their attachment to those principles of justice, and 'lime tics of sympathy and humanity, congenial to the feelings of all-upright men, which bound them to the true interests of their workmen; nor were the majority of the workmen themselves backward to acknowledge this; but their Minde have been poisoned by the delegates whom this mischievous faction have sent amongst them. The ill dis posed, as be-g the most easily misled, were first drawn into combination, and they, in their turn were made use of to settlece and terrify the better classed' their brother work men to join the Union. The latter accordingly hive been hitherto compelled to go with the stream, and—in opposition to their own honest feelings—to desert every principle of gratitude and every sentiment of justice. The Bradford Committee, in their Address to the working classes throughout the kingdom, to which we advert above, produce in triumph the following letter, in proof that the Operatives will receive ample support in carrying on their efforts, and that they will not be compelled to make peace from the want of an energy sufficiently desperate to aid them in carrying on the war. There never was a crisis, when it was more important that the public should be fully acquainted with the real spirit and true character of the fac tion by whom the operative classes are at present so sadly and so fatally revolutionized. It is clear, from the language of this litter thro•.ighout, that it is not drawn up by a eurpentcr or a joiner.

THE BRITISH PRESS. LIirERARY GLEANINGS. ---i No. LV. Brants: , Conars.—A remarkable feature of the writ ings of the time of Bishop Corbet is the cheerfulness which reigns in nearly ail the compositions, whether of laymen or divines, of the metropolis or the Universities. They who were, by office, the gravest characters of the realm, were incessantly interchanging effusions of wit, gayety, and good humour, eulogy or elegy, congratulation or satire. Wit overflowed from songs, sonnets, pamphlets, acid sermons. The character of wit was universal about town, in tile church; at Cambridge and Oxford; in all ranks, from the monarch to the clown. RICOARD CORSET, successively Bishop of Oxford anti Norwich, was horn in the village of Ewell, in Surrey, in the year 1582: he was the only son of Beret, or Bene dicts, and Vincent Corbet. Of his father, whois highly praised by BEN JONSON for various virtues, little seems to be known, beyond the fact of his being, either by taste or trade, a gardener. He resided at Whitton, near 'Twicken ham, where his son, the Bishop, spent his declining days. Richard Corbet received the rudiments of his education at Westminster, and was thence removed, in, 1591-S, to Broadgate Hall, and the year following, was admitted a student of Christ Church, Oxford. in 140 S, he took the degree of Master of Arts. In 1612, upon the death of HerritifMrttree of 'Wales, the Universty deputed Corbet, then one of the Proctors, to pronounce a funeral oration, " who," to me the words c:f Antony-Wood, " very oratorically speeched it in St. Marie s church, before a numerous auditory." The oration still exists (in Latin), and is Printed in Mr. Gilchrist's edition. On the 18th March in the following year he performed the sane duty, in the Divinity School, on occasion of the in terment of Sir THOMAS .lioni.Ey, the founder of the libra.y known by his name. When King Janes Paid' a visit' to Oxford:15t101, Coen ET preached before him. The monarch presented him with a mark of his favour, in the shape of a ring, of which, during Kt sertnosr, - the Chaplain seems to have made an ostentatlons display. The Wits of the time did not lose so favout aid . e oppOitunitY of holding up to ridi cule a mats from whom alley bad so often suffered in a' similar way.

Stenos Conner died July, 1635, and was buried at Norwich. "He was," says FULLER, "of a courteous carriage, and no destructive nature to any who offended counting himself plentifully repaired with a jest bison him." Several curious anecdotes are collected from MSS by Headley and Gilchrist, which illustrate hie character in our opinion, do honour to his memory, and form an amiable hi:inclusion to this alight compilation of the few particulars known of this joyous and amiable man. " After lie was Doctor of Divinity he sang ballads at the Cross at Abingdon ;on a market-day he and some of his comrades were at the tavern by the Cross (which, by the way, was then the fittest hi England ; I remember it when I was a freshman ; it was admirable curious gothic archi tecture, and tine figures in the flitches ; 'twas one of those' built by King complained he had no custom—he could not put off his ballads.

''.'l di BRAZIL. -a.- The following account of the Emperor and Imperial family of Brazil is published in the New York papers. It is stated to be extracted from the "Journal of a young ' gentleman engaged in commercial pursuits at Rio de Janeiro." Don Pedro the First, Emperor of Brazil, is the oldest son of the present Ring of Portugal. The Empress, Lenpoldina, is a daughter of the Emperor of Austria, and sister to Maria Louisa, widow of the late Emperor Napoleon of France. The Emperor is about 30 years of age ; is a well made, genteel man, in appearance, and has ei good looking Portuguese face. The Empress has not so many personal charms as Maria Louisa was reputed to possess, but she has a good natural German face, and as for her person, there is enough of it to make up for any deficiency of beauty. She has the reputation of being very amiable, and is much beloved. They have five daughters. (moor whom was born while I was at Rio, on the lit of August last; on which occasion, a hundred cannon an. nounced the joyful event, the bells rang a merry peal, the city was illuminated, and there was a total suspension of business on the occasion. for three days. And here I must give some account of the christening of the lit tle Princess.

A week passed after the birth-day, and then came the christen. jog, when there were again three more holydays. It took place on the Sth August, at The Imperial Chapel in the Palace square. At an early hour the Palace was thronged by the Nobility, officers, See. and the whole great square was crowded,with spectators. The doors and windows of all the buildings round were, hung with curtains of crimson satin damask; and along platforin, reaching from the Palace to the Chapel, was lined wish the some, inside the railing, and richly carpeted. Workmanship :—.4. description of dila tapestry is worth a chapter by itself, but, I cannet give it ; the de vices were scriptural subjecis, and the .figures wrought in them were as large as life. The interior of the Church, at all times richly furnished, was on thin occasion splendidly fitted up. The procession formed in the Palace, and moved along the platform, (above FOOtiCal) tO Ulla& :it was truly imposing lii aypdar. once. Millie court dresses and badges 'or distinction were worn on this °erasion; but no ladies moved in the procession except the Imperial Norse, who was covered wills lace and jewels. The infant was carried its the arms of a nobleman of high rank, under a canopy of white silk stuff, highly decorated, and supported by six other officers of state ; than a host of chard) dignitaries and others ; as the procession moved sere:al hundred magician., including two bands of hors and bugles, blew such a blast u almost set the Drina and Dignitaries dancing ! Several cannon roared, and a pro fusion of rocketa were let off at the church door. Such accompa niments as these, to the performance of a Christian institution, though Interesting, excite not religious feeling. The most hal lowed of almost any one observed in honour of the great Author of the religion we profess. contrasted very singularly indeed with the simplicity, and reverence, the devout and holy feeling which are manifested at the baptismal ceremony in a New England meeting house. I observed these fire-works and music on several occasions introduced to help out a church display in their celebrations, and they always seemed as much out of place, as a psalm singing so a • trainband. The residence of the imperial family of Brazil is called die Palace of Saint Christophe, situated three or four miles from the city, on slittle eminence in the centre of one of the richest sales in the world. This valley extends a few miles, when the country becomes mountainous and broken. Foreigners seldom make ex cursions furthe: than eight or ten miles from the city. Many of the most opulent inhabitants of the city have country establish ments in this vicinity, and to a stranger, in pardcular, it is a de. lightfuiride among them. The fields and gardens, in a high state of cultivation, ate planted with coffee and the sugar cane. the orange tree. plantains and bananas, the mamee apple, pines, &c. besides a profusion of the family of Flora, which an inhospitable climate discourages for ever from visiting their relations_ in cur country, unless with r promise of being tenderly nursed in hot beds. The palace of St. Christopher is a large massive pile, without any particular plan, and comprises every order in architecture. Except its size and location, there is nothing to admire, or of' princely grandeur in its exterior. 1 bad not an opportunity to see the inside of it : many panes of glom were broken in the front windows, and other things seemed to have less attention than the gentlemen's places in the neighbourhood. But it must be recollected his Majesty has had but little leisure since he set up in the business of Emperor. Don Pedro keeps up a pretty large retinue, and at times has his company of life guards, and many attendants with him ; but he frequently rides out in a plaits dress. The Empress often accom panies hint on horseback ; and perhaps some of my modest coun trywomen will scarcely credit me when I say she invariably rides astride and gallops off like a trooper 1 This fashion was probably brought from Austria: I saw no other Instance of it, either in Brazil or Portugal, but I have seen it before in Chili and in Pere.

VIENNA, OCT. 19. The Foreign Office has despatched au extraordinary courier to London. It is supposed that he is the bearerof a note from our Cabinet in reply to that which was lately sent to it by the English Government, relative to the affairs of Greece. It seems that the 'Political system of Great Britain with respect to that Camay, differs in many points from that hitherto adopted by our Ministry, principally in what concerns the future emancipation of the Pelopon nesus, independent of the supreme authority of the Porte. But it is believed that the Court of Vienna will not give its final declaration on the question of mediation between the Turks and the Greeks, till it is acquainted with the inten tions of France, Russia, and Prussia on this important subject.—BrussBs Papers, .Nov. 1. Advices received on Saturday, from Smyrna, represent the Greek cause as utterly hopeless, the patriots having only one fortress left in their possession. This, however, is certainly false, as the Austrian Observer, received the same day, admits diarist the date of the last intelligence from Missolonghi, the siege still continued, and that the place did not appear to be in any danger. The inhabitants of Smyrna are notoriously hostile to the Greeks, and any reports to their disadvantage are belived there. The pto hibition of the export of silk still continued. These letters state the prohibition would end is a high duty being im posed on the exports. Letters from the city of Mexico have been received, dated-29th August. '!'here is no political intelligence of any interest: trade was brisk ; the exchange had advanced from 49 to 36. At the latter rate the agent of an eminent Londou house drew bills to the extent of half a million of dollars. It is stated that a French officer named Courtois de St. Clair had been arrested, as a secret agent of the Go vernment of Havannalt, and the French Consul for the Island of Cuba. Ills correspondence, which has fallen into the 'hands of the Mexican Authorities, disclosed his errand. When interrogated officially, lie represented him self as a simple traveller, like Mr. Poinsett. I r: at appears by the following extract from a letter which we have received from an officer employed in the interior of India, 'that a serious disturbante has broken out in a portion of the 'Company's possessions, situate about 800 railed E.N.E. from Bombay : " 13r.Awn, NEAR 11117 . 501ELIIRAD, APRIL. es 1825. • " A serious affair has occurred at Ilhartpure. It seRIMI that the uncle of the young Rajah, whom Sir David Ochterlony placed on the throne, has had a dispute with his •Pripp Minister, which was provoked by the restless ambitions' views of the Minister, who would attempt to circumscribe. the rightful authority of the young Rajah. The consequence has been that a n um b er of the Minister's followers have already been sacrificed. The King's, Ilth dm. goons, 111th Lancers, the 14th and 59th Regiments, and /Cativo Corps from Delhi, Cawnpore, Mutira, Agra. and slisseerabail, are ordered to assemble at Illiurtpore immediately, *Ph the artillery from Agra and part Ircna Alisseerabad.

They are obliged to dwell in the Jews' Quarter (the Ghetto), and even those opulent members of these tribes who have pur chased houses in other situations, have found their attempts to be excused 'obeying this order all in vain. They are ordered to wear a particular mask of distinction—the men a yellow covering on the upper part of their hats, and the women a yellow riband on their breast.—Freneh rarer. Is is stated in a letter from Jamaica, that Captain Forrest, who is returning home invalided from the Isis, has in his possession two rare and valuable antiques, which were presented to him by the Governor of Sacri tidos (near Vera Cruz), two figures of human appearance, in height about ten inches, of most beautiful delicately white transparent markle. They were dug out of au ancient felt or fortification, where, it is believed, they were buried in the Sixteenth century, when the Spa niards, under Cortez, landed in link°. Captain For mat has also an farthen pan, of a circular form, about twelve inches high, which was dug up by the Indians; and an arm chair of most singular workmanship, said to have belonged to Monteznina. INUNDATION IN SWITZERLAND. A letter from Lausanne states, that the night of the 18th ult: was a night of very great distress to the inhabitants of the banks of the Arve. Thirty hours heavy rain hes over. flowed many parts of Lower Fancigny, and, in tiarticulsr, ravaged the beautiful plains about Bonneville. Fragmen t of timber, furniture, dead cattle, are still collected in the environs of Geneva, which have been brought down by that river. The wooden bridge of Carouge has been much da. maged, and the passage over it was obliged to be stopped for some hours. The loss of timber and tine wood, i e . tended for sale, and ready to be floated down the river, i 9 estimated at several hundred thousand francs. The low grounds at the conflux of the Arve and the Rhone, neat Geneva, are entirely covered with mud. IRISH CATHOLIC MEEI`ING. A meeting took place at the Great Rbowt in the e O , l Exchange, Dublin, on We last, at whi c h Il i, O'Connell as much as in the report fills two colte.,. u . and a half. Further description of the proceeding is cessare ' • but, perhaps, our readers may be amused to how the New Association is annoyed by the Act passed , u the last Session, and the awkward and exhausting eflurts by which they attempt to defeat it:— " That act, (says Mr. O'Connell), renders it impossible .for tit to meet With that order and organisation which we ccsold desire; bqt it does not take from us those energies which it is our duty exert lestill leaves us the duty of strainifig all our faculties t , procure opr redress; nay, it renders it doubly incumbent am us to exert all the means which are still open to us, of obtain. kg full and effectual relief. It is on account of that statute the: we net dow tact in the manner in which we are at present a,„ sembled.

Colombia, with an income of CROW. and other emoluments.—Glehe cf Saturday. The first meeting under Mr. S. Williams's commission was held on Saturday at Guildhall, when several creditors attended to prove their debts. We are happy in being able to state, from good authority, that this failure, which has excited so much astonishment and alarm in the commercial world, is not likely to be attended with the disastrous ef fects at first apprehended from it, but, on the mount, that a very large and speedy division is expected to be nude ' among the creditors, and that a very slight deficit will mately be experienced. THE COMET STEAM PACICET.—The preparations is raise the Comet proceed as quickly as the stormy and t:. settled state of the atmosphere will allow. Chains attached to hudys have been drawn under the keel of die vessel, and were the weather only to moderate for any length of time, the object' in view would, it is expected, he speedily mem. plished. The bodies which were last found were, many of them, severely injured. The eyes of several of them were eaten out with shell fish, some of which were found stick ing on various other parts of the bodies. The Cork Southern Reporter says, in reference to the loss of the boat going to Skibbereen, " we have received a letter, from which the following is an extract :—A morn ing paper states the loss of lives on the occasion a between forty and fifty ; but we have every reason to confide in the accuracy of our correspondent's accounts, Which !et down the number at seven.

NEW PACLIAMENT•RY MEWS.—The enclosed goal behind Great George-street, Westminster, will he arcs. pied with an entirely new mews, destined for the secomiric. dation of the Members of both Houses of Parliament during the Snsion.
