Delonlere-hoses, N orthwieb, Cheshire, Oct. 27. Stu—From the co►respondence which appeared in The Times of the 2Sth instant, I am convinced, that whatever crime may be laid to the charge of Sir Robert Wilson, the rondo's of hia Majesty's Government has been unjast and arbitrary in the extreme, in inflicting in severe a punith ment +cahoot allowing him the means of exculpation. I conceive it to be the duty of every Englishman oho talnes his civil rights, and especially of every officer whose com mission is purchared nnder the sanction of the Cornmentler and who ought not to hold his means of subsistence .by so preearious a tenure as is implied by the late violent vnearure, to p►otest spinet it ar a most ilsneerritis exercise of the Kist's prerogative. cyclone • Bank •etc of 20f, which I beg you will have the goodness to add to the sub seripthin.

[FROM A PARIS PAPER.] The funeral of the Caidin4l Talleyrand de Peri., gord took place on Saturday list, with a pomp cor4 responding with his august emir:ter. At half--past nine o'clock M. de Quelen, Archbishop of the capital, at the head of the Clergy of Notre Dame, attended the corpse. At eleven o'clock the proces set out from the Archbishop's Palace, in the fol lowing order : The Clergy of Notre Dame. Six Canon' of Saist Dents. Fifteen Bishop,. The Popes Nuncio. The Archbishop of Paris, with Iwo Grand Vicars, oar on each side. The Pastoral Cross of his Entioence, covered with crape. A Cahoot, carrying upon a cushion the Heart of the deceased. Four Priests, also carrying upon cushions the ecclesiastical sad civil iusignitt of his Enihseace. THE BODY, Placed upon a swegloficent hearse, drawn by sit bones covered with black. The coal. sas covered with his own Cardinal's robe, and mantle of a Peer of France. About one bemired poor persons mowed uu each side of the fusers! car. Then followed the family of the deceased, •iz —The Prince Talleyrand, the Prince Clialaia, the Duke de Dino, Count Rosen de Perigord, Count Auguste de Perigord, Baron Anatole de Perigord, and se•eral other relati•es. They were succeeded by a Brest number of persons of dis tinction, including the Duke of Richeli►u ; Count simeoo, Minister of the Interior; the Ambassadors of Austria and Naples ; the Dukes de Grammont and de la Chatre ; the Count Chabrul, Prefect of the Seine; a great number of Peer* of France, and Deputies; Lieulenant.General Count Defoliate, Count Rorbethouart, Deputations of the Kiug's Military Household and of the Garrison, and a great number of people in mourning. The procession advanced to the foot of the lighted chapel at the Cathedral, passed the little grate, the cloister of Notre Dame and Parvis. The Arch bishop celebrated mass—there was no sermon. At a quarter to two o'clock the body ass replaced upon the hearse; the procession their made a tour from the Quay of Cite to the Bridge, and returned to the Church. The body was then lowered into the vault, and placed at the side of the remains of Messrs. de Juigne and de Belloy, late Archbishops of Paris. A battalion of the garrison fired a volley of musquetry on the taking •p the body ou its en• trance into the church, and on its being placed in the vault. An immense crowd pressed forward to Notre Dame to pay the last d•tits to the eenetable Prelate. His eminence, it is said, has bequeathed almost the whole of hie fortune t• religious esta blishments, and the poor of the dioceses of Reims nod Paris. To his domestics he Ws left legacies proportioned to their length of service. i The Ex-Sheriff WILLIAMS, it is said, has Irafted!! The Ex-Sheriff bus bens recently made •• • Magistrate of Middlesex, and eujoyed the .honour of entertaining Lord SIDMOUTH at dinner at his house in Kentish Town. The Ex-Sheriff was one of the late Queeres staunchest friend,. Yesterday • Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Capt. A. CAMPBELL was sworn into the command of the ship Duke of York, consigued to Bombay and Chips. It will appear strange, but it is no less true, that one of the Editors of the official Noodle-ter exercises at the sume time the functions of • Censor, and attacks in safety, as u Ministerial Journalist, those whose articles lie expunges us a Censor. It is anxiously expected that Mir. TAYLOR'S Act will be amended in the ensuing SessiOu of radii men', by the addition of • clause for prXreuting the conveyance of stoop lees in 'urge quantities through the metropolis. Almo.t every 'light in the week a very large cart.full of this material drives through the Strand, emitting a most horrible and pestilen tial stench, endangering the health of the 'iambi taiits and numerous pasoeugers to that very populous part of the tow,,. In consequence of the new arrangement for the more expeditious conveyance of the North Mail lion% Loodou, which arrives at Huntingdon about an hour eadier, the mud from Bury St. Edmund's is now dispatched at half-past eight o'clock, to en. able the cross-road bags for the North to arrive at Huntingdon iii time for the wail from London. The Ipswich mail commenced running at a quicker rate on Saturday, so as to arrive in Norwich soon after ten o'clock in the morning, and set out again at five in the afteritotei, thus giving the very great accommodation of two hours additional tune for' replying to letters in the city, and enabling several I parts of the county to do so by return of post. The Bury mail cart is despatched at half-past three. At the Bedford Ploughing Match on the 19th ult. (which was numerously attended by the hest agriculturists of that comity) there was an unusual degree of interest excited. Twenty ploughs enter ed the field, but the principal competition lay be tween Messrs. BACHELOIt's, of Lidlington ; Messrs. Itxxsosties, of Ipswich ; and Messrs. ALLEY said JEFFERE'S, of London (called the wet and dry wea. ther plough). The prim , * were all decided in favour of RANSOME'S patent plough*. Norwich Corn Market on Saturday was rather thinly attended, toad old Wheat was about Is. loner than last week. Other grain much as before. —The Cattle Market was well supplied, and large flocks of lambs, &c. were offered tot sale ; little or no variation took place in prices. On Thursday last at Stowmarket. during the lime of market. a horse in a cart set oil in the .aidst of the people who were assembled in the street, and killed a youth on the spot. There was a child ia the cart, which was fortunately solidi:her' out. The unfortunate buy was 14 years old, son of a labouring Milk of the name of BARIUM, who lives in the Hun. thresh' of Essex, and 'Deploy* of Mt. NUNN, a jobber, at Shintoist. The horse and cart belong to Mr. Moons, of Newton (late of nucleoli), and were kit by the servant, whilst he s'epped into a *hop. To the EDITOR flf The BRITISH PRESS. LONDON, OCTOIIIIII 31,11121. the alaaervalions on the foyer, or plague at Dareelona, of your Correspondent " Noweiwn." in your Paper of yester day, are deserving of poblie ettention,aud very general con rederition ; their good sense, science, sod good purpose, are • secompanied by a modesty of pretension soil candour, which area the beat association in such disquisitions. It seem, to he high time that the European public, or at least all its professors of health, should ascertain and agree that these visitations of mortal sickness are not contateluos. They are endensfal distempers, arising from stmospliTrical influence, of moist or dry, brought and spread by miasma, vapour, or wind; iota affecting the population generally, as they find subjects disposed to their netioii, by the change of season, by diet, irritability or debility of habit, or other conditions of liability to such attack. These diseases spread without personal tweet, and do not attack those must expo.ed by contact, or propio qtiity to their contagion. Mourn, nurses, priests, physi ciana, and the attersdants on the dead, escape for the mast part. Fear, apprehension, the nervous irritability which these affections <mite, are a potent ally of the ruling Wee tie. ; neglect of reiwrily or ass , stanee is another. Imagina tion even is a great propagator of infectiotti distemper in all cases. We have, however, now rather to look to preventives or remedies than to the causes or nature of this melancholy and mortal visitatiuti. In the cholera minims of India, opines and alcohol have heel proved to he very powerful and avail ing remedies, which any person may prove here on himself or others 111141P1 the attack of the dysentery, which is so com mon is the change of semon in the autumn and spring of our own climate. That affection of the throat, lungs, or sternum, which we call cold, sore throat, or catarrh, and which has become so common, and of late, in many instances, so fatal with us, in the damps or cold of our atmosphere, might, with as much reason as the fever in Spain, be deemed contagious ; as soon it would, if it unhappily became at any time more general. This is cadential, arising from the conflict of temperature, on delicate, or inflammatory and irritable organs, too much acted on by sudden or long-coutieuedtexposure. A suggestion is here offered, tbet ill the action of " Mal aria," of damp and cold air, and generally of all atmosphe rical miasma or Matteis, may be mitigated or neutralized by a merely mechanical and simple guard or preventive; that of a screen or veil, depending from the ries of a hat, and pro jecting two to four inches from the month and aostrils— fur this purpose a woollen light fabric or map. is, perhaps, the best suited. In this seam of remedy the scientific may refer to the principles and mechanical action of Sir H. Davy's ingenious and invaluable safety lamp. Every one can conceive easily, that Winds this screen there will be foaled an Mesosphere, densined and confined, of the breath of the iodividual, through which the common air most pus with nossechange of its temperature, and some arlaarlare, thee ia,o l 4lselicia of its quality, the thing re quired when its tAion is malefic; it will probably be en tirely neutralized; to which acids, aromatics, or campho rated applications to the gauze could much conduce. ITe all instinctively apply this kind 14 defence, in an im pet feet manner, with the hand or the handkerchief applied to the month and nostril', In screen from severe cold or noisome eerie; but we have another habit, very ill-suited to the purpose it is designed for s this is, to tie up the /broad with flannel, ur other bandages, to defeed the lungs from the attack of cold or damp, which is made on them by the orifice of the mouth, and through t h e aostrils. This hint is offered without any pretemien to medical wiener, to those who may know how to appreciate it, and can have the opportunity of proving its me and value, by the best evidence, that of experiment and practice.

Gleed and Kennedy, the police officers, pro duced a great quantity of base half-crowns, shil lings, and sixpenny pieces, which they found in the Prisoner's room at the time of her apprehension. They also found upon her person the money which they had furnished to Isaacson, and which they had marked. Mr. the Solicitor to the Mint, who has filled that situation thirty years, proird the whole of the cobs produced to be counterfeit. It was made of base metal, alightly covered over with a wash. The silver would be robbed off in a cir culation of two day.. The Prisoner called a witness to speak to her character, who failed, however, in establishing any thing to her credit. The Jury found the Prisoner Guilty, and The te'ouxtott SERJEANT sentenced her to be imprisoned twelve calendar months, and admonish ed her to adopt a ditfeient Millie of life whets the term of her sentence should have expired, as, if she were again convicted at that bar of a similar offence, sentence of death would inevitably follow.
