though they must have been rare, as no Bishop coul! live upon the rents of his estate. The project of forfeiting the reversionary interest of the Bishops' tenants —an interest, the value of which must be obvious, from the wtoriety of their being allowed eight per cent. compound interest on their fines, and those fines calculated upon modera:e valuations—would be such an invasion of private property as I can designate by no other mane than that I gave it in my former letter. Your Lordship states that " I have one grand object before my eyes, what - vas most for the inte rest of a favoured portion of the Clergy, while you were looking to the spiritual wtnts of the people." My Lord, I call upon you to point out the part of my letter Igloo which you found this monstrous charge. I demnnd it. There is no pact of that let ter which hes any connection with the subject, ex cept that which relates to the incomes of the Clergy; and on referring to my letter your Lort'ship will find that I view those incomes only as they may he tbe means of inducing a class of pertoos to enter into orders who are educa'ed urn, and, as such, cal culated to be useful Ministers in the Cio-Th. I argue against an equal. distiihution of those incomes only on the groutot of its tendency to dimiohsh the number of weik - oalified Minister. What is there in this that can support the accu sation made against me of considering only the Clergy, and disregarditor their congregations What but the spiritual wants of the people am I considering, when providing that the Clergy shall be duly qualified ? Your Lordshi r States that the number of Clergy men is inadequate, and you form your caleul.,!ion upon the wants of a population of 7,000,000. Let me ask, would your Lordship think it useful at this moment to have Clergymen in Ireland, as numerous as will be wanted when the whole population is Pro testant ? Surely that would not be a , leantageou , , even were it possible. It seems to me cigar, that the object to be kept in view is to inert :no the number of Clergymen and the number er Churches, so as fu:iy to supply the wants ef the congregations we tau collect, and to meet tircry increase that may be added to our coa grefri.tions as quickly as it arises. This course has been pursued, since the Urion, with as much speed as our means afforded, and Pao• VIDENCE will ) I trust, ere long, enlarge our means to what they were till the assistance of Parliament was withbel,l. In obtaining a renewal of that assistance we thigh t have been aided by the laity with decisive effect; but they have thought fit, under your Lord ship's guidance, to pursue a different course. A considerable number of churches is wanted, as is evident from the number of applications for aid wh:ch vow lie before the Board of First Fruits; and that want shows that Clergymen also are wanted, and, therefore, I agree with your Lordship that the number of Clergymen is inadequate, but I diffe:• widely indeed as to the extent of that want. Of that inadequacy your Lordship cites the igno rance of the lower order of Protestants, and the in crease of Crime, as proofs. That crime has increased among the Protestants in Ireland I certainly enter tain very strong doubts. Looking to the number of criminals executed that are Protestants, I more than doubt—l disbelieve. That ignorance amongst the lower order of Pro testant; has diminishcd during the period to which I have so often referred—the time elapsed since the 'Union, and that in a degree greater than could have been expected—l am perfectly certain. I shall con fine myself tl one proof, as being connected with the exertions of the Clergy. The number of schools under the Association, which is particularly under their Ilireetion, that for discountenancing vice, and promoting, the knowledge and practice of the Ihris tian religion, has increased from three to upwards of 300; and the number of children attending cate chetical examinations, which, your Lordship will please to observe, are not limited to the catechism and its explanations, but extend to a very large pro portion of the Holy Scriptures, has increased from a few hontireds to near 30,000. reply to my observation upon your Lordship's Living called the Clergy " griping and covetous," you say that you " only made the charge against the woil(4-minded." The words to which I re ferred were, " that the Clergy were, in general, too griping ai.d covetous." This was a very compre hensive charge. Indeed, a more .comprehensive charge could not he made, unless it were stated that they were so without any exception. I turlerstood it P., a general charge, and to it, as such, I replied by referring to the very low proportion which the sums compounded for under the late acts bear to the real value of the tithes. Your Lordship argues " that the amount of the composition is no proof of the moderation of the Clergy, for they got as much as they could," now I beg your Lordship to consider that the limit of what they could get—and it is notorious that scarcely in any :list:trice did the composition reach the limit— waa O W amount of what they had been in the habit of getting f. r the preceding seven years—a very good measure of what had always been their habit, that is, iho accepting- much less than one-half, gene rally tine.; bi;.(l, of ‘vhat they were legally entitled to ; aid from that Net I argued that they were not griping no t eo‘otous. 1 our Lordsliip has supplied me with another fact, from Wen f tnake the t•amc inference, " that you nem. heard them complain of the composition they had made." That is, though they knew that they had not got nearly the one-half of what was really the value of their property, they yet did not com plain. What better proof could be had that they were not griping and covetous ? But your Lord-hip " has heard the parishioners complain bitterly." Did they assert that they had paid more than the real amount of their tithes ? If they did nqt, as most certainly was the ca , e, how were their complaints evidence that the Clery were avaricious ? With respect to there " having been various pe titions to both Houses of Parliament" against Cler gymen, for immoral conduct, your Lordship says that you spoke of the Clergy of England and Ire land collectively. Certainly you did, but this col lective charge included Ireland, and authorised me to ad: the question I did as to Ireland ; and your Lordship ha ring stated that you knew of" various petifons" to both Houses of Parliament upon the subject, I confidently asked what instances of the kind could be produced with respect to Irish Cler gymen; and I am . happy to find that I was not too confident, for it appears by your Lordship', letter that there were no such instances. Had I extended my enquiries to England, the " various petitions" ould, I believe, have been reduced to one—the rotorious case of an individual who has been de prived by the Ecclesiastical Court. General statements of criminal conduct are easily made, and that particular instances might be produced in a body consisting of upwards of *12,000 (for to that number the collective Clergy of England anti Ireland amount), can hardly be doubted. But such are ex ceptions, rare exceptions, to the almost universal cor rectness of moral conduct among the Clergy. My observations with respect to the Evoning Post amounted to this—that, having viewed the Cork Meeting as dangerous to the Establishment, I was confirmed in that view by the satisfaction expressed in that Paper, long the leading Journal of Popery, at its having been held. The enemies of the Establish ment, both in England and Ireland, have continued to echo the sentiments of the Evening Post, and by so doing have confirmed my original fears—that con sequences far from your Lordship's inteations are but too likely to follow from what was done at that Meeting. I have already apologised for the freedom of lan guage which I have used in this discussion, and beg that your Lordship will excuse what . has occurred in this letter that may be considered as going too near the limits of justifiable iraffr,o - hcc.--I have the ho nour to be, your Lordship's most obedient servant, THOMAS FERNS. The Duke of WELLINGTON return to town yesterday morning from Histkid, Hurts. LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1829. We have heard it reported that the East India Company have sent off despatches yester day by three separate messengers, who are to take different routes, and to proceed to India with all possible despatch. The nature of the despatches did not of course transpire, but they are supposed with reasonable probability to refer to the excited temper manifested by the army in consequence of the late obnoxious regulations. The French Papers of Wednesday have been received. -The hard conditions of the treaty of peace seem to form a principal theme for their contemplation and remark. Much is expected from the mission of Ilium PACHA to St. Petersburgh, but we think he will be disap• pointed, unless the remonst-ances of the English and French Governments induce the EMPEROR to relax in his demandS. The idea entertained by the PORTE, that France and England would buy off the Russian demands, is not more ridi culous than it would prove impolitic. If the indemnity were paid off by England and France, it would only be enabling Russia to return to the charge with renewed means of aggression, which is just the very thing that Russia wants. In fact, the policy of Russia throughout the s‘ hole business has been most masterly, for what with mock professions of moderation, military enterprise, and official deceit, she has completely overreached every Government.in Europe that placed any faith in the integrity of her intentions. At an earlier period of the war—or even before the war was commenced—English remonstrance, backed by English demonstration in the proper quarter, might have averted the catastrophe which we may now lament, but cannot undo. That much is • to be ascribed to the barbarous obstinacy of the Turks, cannot be denied, but as much is at least ascribAle to the hesitation or forbearance of more enlightened politicians. (From the Illessager des Chambres of Wednesday.) (SECOND EDITION.) PERA, sEr•r. 26. Though the peace is ratified, it is evident that the Porte will find it difficult to pay the indemnities promised to Russia, and a question arises whether the great powers will advance money to the Porte, or whether the Russian troops win occupy the provinces till all the expences of the war are paid? In the latter case, it would be long before the Sultan would recover his authority in those provinces, and would besides be deprived of his best resources. In the other case, the European powers who made the ad-. v.lnces must dispense with all formal security, and con sider them rather as a free gift than as a loan, which mould be very difficult fur the English and French Go vernments, on account of the responsibility of their Mini sters. The Reis Effendi has long since given the Eng lish and French Plenipotentiaries to understand that the Porte depended upon their Governments, and on their pecuniary assistance ; but the answers of the Plenipoten tiaries on this subject have never been satisfactory. Under these circumstances it is not probable that the peace will restore to the Porte the prosperity which some persons hold out to it. On the contrary, its situation will be more critical than ever, and the burthens of the country will progressively increase. The mission of HAI Pacha seems to hold out some hopes of salvation, its object being to prove to the Empe ror of Russia that it is impossible for the Porte to pay the contributions. Great reliance is placed on the generosity of the Emperor, and it is hoped that he will renounce the in demnity of 10 millions of ducats, and that be will order the evacuation of the Turkish territory next spring. Gen. Muf fling has given every body here such a high opinion of the Emperor of Russia that nobody doubts the success of Ilalil Pacha's mission. Among other presents which the Sultan sends to St. Petersburgh by that Ambassador, are, a cloak of crniire, with an agraffe of diamonds for the Emperor, and the Turkish shawls adorned with pearls and brilliants for the Empress.—Augsburg Gazette.

An article from Berlin, in the Allgemeine Zeitung, gives a deplorable picture of the state of affairs in Turkey, and is evidently aggravated in order to make the prolonged stay of the Rus sians more indispensable. Such scenes as are here detailed, present themselves more or less in all countries overrun by an invading army : BERLIN, OCT. 16. The present state of Turkey is represented by eye wit nesses as most melancholy, so as in fact to claim pity. It has l:een confirmed, that in Ru [Lelia also the greater part of the population consists of Christians, who call them selves sometimes Armenians, sometimes Bulgarians. All these believed nothing less than that Russia was carrying on time war for the sake of conquest, and would take. them und,r its trotection, witich ist.be more p ationalde, as they. were not acquainted with the Russian declaration of war The population therefore, even of Adrianople, openly ex pressed their joy with tire appearance of the Russians, whem they considered as their deliverers. The Russians will withdraw ; the people will fall again under the domi nion of the Sultan, who will hardly fail to exercise the most dreadful vengeance. It was hardly ventured to ac quaint the people with the melancholy necessity of the re treat of the Russians. Already in their fears they see scar f dds crected in Adrianople, and the Sultan fix his head quarters there. Whether these appearances will be re :zed to their full extent, remains to be seen. Some confidence is placed in Russia, which has come for ward as the kind protector of the distressed ; and it is hoped that it will strictly enforce the stipulations in favour of the Christian population. The ruin of the Turkish army, we may say—the dissolution of the Turkish empire, :s without parallel. The regular trocms threw away their :trans in whole bodies; the generosity and humanity of the Russian General had conquered them more than the bravery and the perseverance of his soldiers: The irregular troops fled with their arms (their most valuable property) as far as they were able, and positively declared they would fight no mere. Abdurrhaman Paelia, a native of Erzerouni, whose wife and his whole harem in that city were taken prisoners by the Russians, had commanded the Turkish cavalry of the right wing ; when he reached Araba en his retreat, he had wit]; him 500 or 600 men on tried horses, who refused to tight against the Russians. Near Constantinople a body of about 25,000 fugitives had assembled,whom the Sultan did not venture to admit into the city, only a fewhattalions of regular infantry, that had not yet seen the enemy, found a stable point in this miss of con fusion. In the villages and towns, the women who are otherwise confined in their houses, were seen running with cries of terror about the streets, to save and secure their children ; a consternation had seized the Turks, which made those who witnessed shudder. The accounts from the head-quarters of Genet& D:ebitsch (now raised to the dignity of Field-marshal) arc more pleasing. There was abundance of every thing supplied by the inhabitants. The Count has had Te Dents performed in the principal Greek church, and a thing unheard of in the annals of Turkey, he and his Staff have trodden with their Chris tian fret the pavement of the celebrated great mosque. The Turkish priests voluntari:y opened to him tke doors of their holy temple of Murad. Much praise is bestowed on the discipline of the Russian army, and the polished manners cf the officers. Even the Cossacks have become witch more civilized since the great war against France, and there are few instances in the present campaisn of their having committed any cruel excesses, but many anecdotes are related of their simple honesty. The following has been received this morning from our Paris Correspondent : " PARIS, OCT. 28. " The negociation of a new loan by the Aus trian Government, at the moment when they find themselves able to afford the reduction of seve ral important branches of the public revenue, has given rise in Paris to a variety of speculation s on the probability of a renewal of hostilities in Europe. As yet, however, they have not as sumed any very distinct or intelligible form ; but every thing at all calculated to favour the idea is eagerly seized on, and forced into the service. It is said, for instance, in letters from Ancona of the 11th instant, that there is still a very ac tive interchange of couriers between London and Corfu ; and this is urged as an additional ground of apprehension. Two such couriers had left Ancona during the preceding week with despatches for the Lord High Commissioner, and on these and other grounds, perhaps not more worthy of attention, it is generally believed that preparations are making for some important event, which is materially to affect the future destinies of Greece, on which it is now believed that England has fixed its attention. The gar risons of the lonian Islands arc said to be con stantly receiving reinforcemews, and 4,000 fresh troops had arrived at Malta within two weeks of the date of the letters from Ancona. " In the meantime the Government of France appears to have lost all its Philhellenic predilec tions. A loan for the Greek Republic is at present proposed on the exchange of Paris, but such is the urgent necessity for an immediate supply, that a deputation of the friends of Greece, with Mr. Eynard at its head, has lately arrived in Paris, for the double purpose of negociating the loan and of interceding with the French Government for a temporary supply of a few hundred thousand francs, until the loan itself can be arranged on satisfactory and advantageous terms. The support of the cause of Greece is decidedly a favourite object with the French people, and the refusal of this temporary accom modation, at a moment when the supply was so necessary to the Greek cause, has excited a new feeling of hostility against the present Cabinet, which will of course be kept alive for some time to come by the restless conductors of the Libe ral Press. A long letter on the subject has ap peared in the Journal des Debats of this morn ing, bearing the signature of M. Alexandre de Laborde, one of the Deputies for the depart ment of the Seine, of which the following is an abstract : " Ist. That the Greek Government has applied " to the French Ministry for an immediate and last " assistance, on the footing that all the branches of " the Government were about to be stopped for " want of money, and that the internal and exter " nal enemies of Greece would avail themselves of " the consequent disorder to compromise their happy " deliverance. 2d. That notwithstanding the reiterated prayers " of the deputation, the necessary funds were abso " lutely and definitively refused by the Council on " Sunday or Monday last. " 3d. That one of the deputation fearing that " the necessary amount would not be obtained, bad " himself proposed to the French Government to " advance the one-half of the sum required, pro " vidvd the French Government would advance the " other; but this generous proposal bad also been " rejected, and it had been finally decided to give " nothing. " 4rh. That Mr. Eynard had in consequence de " termincd to make the whole advances now re " quired by Greece from his own funds, and had " restricted himself to a request for a King's ship " to carry it. " The fate of this last proposal is, I believe, not yet ascertained, but it is clear that the letter of M. de Laborde is in the nature of au appeal from the resolution of the Ministry to the gene ral feelings of the French people. " The rumours so often repeated of changes in the French Cabinet have lately acquired some accession of credit, in consequence of the return of the Count de la Ferronays from Florence to Paris, although so lately appointed as the suc cessor of M. de Chateaubriand in the Embassy to Rome. 'M. de Rayneval also, in place of pro ceeding immediately from Berne to Vienna, has just returned to Paris, and has thus given greater currency to several of the reports in circulation. That which has obtained the most general belief, is the accession of Count . Roy and the Count. PRICKS OF STOCKS THIS DAT AT ONE O'CLOCK. 13. ink to 1 r<7 Cf: "r. t. ;led. 3 per .'is.r.t. Coos.

' l ,l^ lar4 de la Ferronays to the Cabinet., in the plate of the Count de la Bourdonnaye and the Count de Bourmont, who, it is said, are to retire. " The change would undoubtedly have a con siderable effect in relieving the French Ministry from a portion, at least, of the bitter and un compro►ni.:ing hostility with which it continues to be assailed. De Bourmont, in particular, in spite of his late attempt to conciliate the good will of the army by a considerable addition to the half-pay, is still the object of undisguised and invincible dislike, not merely among the rapidly diminishing Napoleon party, but ►among all those who entertain the ordinary feeli►►gs o repugnance to a person who has been guilty of betraying the cause of his master. In allusion to this subject, M. de Norvins, decidedly the ►est historian of the reign of Napoleon, while treating of the battle of Waterloo, makes the fol- lowing remarks : " The army 1 20,000 strong, with 330 pieces or " cannon, was tmitcd on the 14th unknown to the " Prussians. Every thing had succeeded to our wish, and on the evening of the 14th the most " perfect security was reigning at Brussels, Charle " roi, and Namur. Blucher was about to be sur " prised , but General Bourmout, the commander of " the third division of the fourth corps, who had " been employed, on the pressing application of the " brave and worthy General Gerard, deserted, with " Colonel Clouet, of the engineers, and Wil " lontrey, the chief of a squadron, and has " tened to carry to the enemy the secret of " the Emperor's intentions. Blucher availed him , " self of this valuable information by drawing " nearer to the English army; Napoleon on his side " foreseeing the changes which would be produced " by a discovery so unfavourable to him, and know " lug the enterprising character of Blucher , pro " ceeded to make new dispositions, with reference to " those expected from his adversary, and on the fol " lowing morning, at day-break, the French army " prepared to pass the Sambre at three different ". points." Vol. IV. p. 350. " When on this subject I may as well direct your attention to what is said by the Count de Las Cases in his Memorial of St. Helena, as a report of the words of Napoleon himself. " Singular campaign ! in Which in less than a " week the secure triumph of France, and the settle " ment of her destinies escaped three times from my " hands ! But for the desertion of a traitor, I should " have annihilated the enemy at the opening of the " campaign."—Vol. 4, p. 305. And again, in the account of the campaign written at St. Helena, to Napoleon's diction, it is said that on the 14th, in the evening, Lieut.- " Colonel B—, Colonel C—, and NV—, an " officer of the staff, deserted from the 4th corps, and went over to the enemy. Their " names will be execrated as long as the F ench " people continue to form a nation.' When these words were written, the fallen Emperor could scarcely have supposed that the deserter whom he thus stigmatized, would one day enjoy the supreme controul of the affairs of that army which had so long been devoted to his interests ; and it really is not wonderful that an individual who has raised himself to power by such unworthy means, should become an objet of repugnance and dislike to a great and generous nation. " The contraband proceedings under the ad dress of the English Ambassador had not been finally arranged, when a new instance of the same kind, and conducted with similar delibera tion, has been discovered in a recent shipment of goods, apparently the property of the Prince tie Polignac. This affair has been announced in a letter dated the 21st of October, from the Chamber of Commerce at Calais, to M. Boiel dieu, the Inspector of the Customs, in which it is stated by the Chamber, that they had received information of there having been at that moment in the Custom-house no less than 80 packages, which had arrived in the port of Calais by the ship Nereide, to the address of his Excellency the Prince de Polignac, which the bill of lading, dated from London, on the Bth of October, had described as containing furniture, effects, and books—but that, abusing the seal of the Etn_ bassy, these packages had contained a great quantity of English lace ; prohibited by law.— The Chamber of Commerce proceed to say, that i❑ consequence of the abuses of the same kind which had lately taken place, they felt themselves bound to take measures for preventing their re petition—and that, for the general interest, and for that of the manufacturers of lace in parti cular, they required the Inspector of the Customs not to forward any of these packages to Paris, until they had been opened, and subjected to a strict examination ; or at least, if his instructions did not admit of such a verification at Calais, that the packages should be sent to the Custom house at Paris, under the seal of the Chamber of Commerce." The Denzerara Chronicle, of the sth of Sep tember,,eontains a most appalling statement cur rent there :—About May last a Dutch sloop of' ; war fell in with a ship off the Isle of Saba, which having no papers to show was taken possession of. Soon after a schooner, strongly armed and manned, appeared, and, hailing the Dutch ves sel, claimed the ship as her prize, pretending to he a Buenos Ayres privateer ; but upon examin• ing her commission, it was found to have ex pired long since, and she was also taken posses sion of, and, with the ship, carried into Saba; but the authorities there being incompetent to decide both, were utimately taken to Surinam for adju dication. The ship proved to have come from Brazil, on a slavery voyage to the coast of Africa, and a few days after Has captured by the schooner. The crew that left Brazil with her are missing, and the pirate gave a very unsatis factory account of them. From one of the crew of the schooner, however, it transpired that these unfortunates had been put into a boat, fired at, and sunk. The ship was condemned at Surinam as having a slave cargo on board, amongst which was a number of hogsheads of pork, which were publicly sold, and when opened by the purchasers, were found to contain human carcases cut up into pieces and salted among the pork. On many parts of these was traced- that species rf s !_::,:oing used by se men on their bodies. It was not known whether the human flesh was mixed up at first with the pork, or whether it was the work of the pirate. From the dilatory mode of Dutch law, it was feared these monsters would escape, as bribery was so usual and bore so potent a sway at Surinam. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TwKr,rg o'CLoca Accounts from Alexandria, in Egypt, state that all the Members of the Council, which received orders to assem;,le there to examine a project for a general change in the com mercial administration of the country, have been there during three weeks, holding their sittings almost daily, and the general opinion was, that some affairs of greater im portance than the commerce of the country occupied their attention. The Viceroy has in agitation two principal objects—to augment consid , ralily his forces by sea and land ; the second, to increase his revenue to covi.r his ex pences. The frontiers are fortified, and Lis fleet is becom ing daily more numerous. Accounts from Constantinop'e of the same date as last received, state that the capital remains tranquil and exe cuti:ms less frequent. Commerce begins to revive. The occupation of Enos by the Russians has caused frequent conference's between the English and French Ambassadors, who require its immediate evacuation by the Russians. The D wish Minister in the shave capitd has freighted seven Austrian vessels, to take on board lOS I Russian prisoners for Sizeboli, The folowi.tg Decree eras issued at Bogota : BOOOTA, JUNE 3.—To the Prefects—A delay having occurred in the receipt at the office under my charge, of the Decree issued by the Liberator at Quite (,n the Bth of May last, relative to the duties on importations, which was published in the Gazette of Colombia, and its circulation and publication having, from this can-e, been delayed, in consequence of which the term within which its Operazion was to commence is too short as regards produce intrusted in vessels comiag from the United States and Europe; the Government has determined that the provisions contained in the said Decree shall not take effect in respect to the former until the lit of January, 1830.

The Bulls im mediately took advantage of this circumstance, and bore down furiously on the Bears, purchasing about one hun dred thousand Consob, when they wale at 9O for the Account, and 904 for Money : this caused a reaction, an.l Consols recovered again to 914 for the Account ; at present they may Fie quoted 9l fur Money, and 91* I for Account.

A new play, tinder the title of Shakspeares Early Days, was brought out last night at this there It is a lively amusing piece, full of incident, but presenting few or no opportunities for criticism. The chief points are the stealing of the deer by young Shakspeare in Sir Thotnns Lucy's park, the vision of the great dramatist's future glory on the banks of the Avon, his appearance at the Court of Elizabeth with the tragedy of Hamlet, his ad ventures in London, where he saves the life of Lord Southampton, who was riding on an unruly horse to the Globe. Theatre, his interviews with the actors Burbage and Tarleton, the former of whom consents to perform his tragedy of Hamlet, his in'roduction to the l e arned Doctor Orthodox, a licenser of plays, who criticises his Hamlet most unmercifully for its impudent violation of the unities, and who advises him to give up writing plays and stick to the plough-tail, as he was confessedly ignorant of Aristotle and the classics ; and lastly, his poetical contest, before Queen Elizabeth, for a valuable portrait of herself, to which he is declared to have fully entitled himself, in preference to the redoubted Doctor Orthodox, whose rhyming pane7yric is declared by the Queen to be as long as a lawyer's bill. These points were ably and spiritedly worked up, and joined with the excellent acting of the performers, each of whom exerted himself and herself to the utmost, gained considerable favour from the au dience. The scenery was unusually striking, consist ing for the most part of views on the banks of the Avon, in the neighbourhood of Stratford. The panoramic vision, illustrative of Shakspeare'a Genre glory, was parti cularly well contrived, and represented in splendid style, a series of moving sketches of some of the most important characters and incidents in the great Dramatist's produc tions. The audience chamber in Elizabeth's palace, and its decorations, was also an impressive scene. Among the actors we cannot refrain from singling out Mr. C. KE3181.7., whose performance of Shakspeare‘vas marked by much spirit and discrimination. The house was crowded, and the play announced for repetition on Saturday, amidst loud and unanimous applause. THE INDIAN ARMY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) Much anxiety Laving been created by recent publica tions, as to the extent to which reductions in Pay and Allowances have been carried in the Army in India, the following statement has been communicat ed to us, con taining •he real facts of the case, and we believe it may be relied upon. At four stations of the Bengal Army, viz. : Barrack pore, Dam Dunn, Berhampore, and Dinapore, the Officers are, on the next relief, to receive cantonment, instead of field allowances. The clitfcrence will appear from the following state ment : NATIVE INFANTRY. Field Cantonment Differ_ Allowances. Allowances. once. Rupees Rupees Rupees per Month. per Month. per Mo. Lieutenant-Colonel 1,020 S2O 200 Major Captain and Surgeon 4ll 371 4O Lieutenant anti Asst. Surgeon 254 224 3O Ensign 2OO 180 2O The amount of the difference to Officers of other branches vf the scrvice•is the same as that to the Officers of Native Infantry. The number of Officers to whom the arrangement app'ies, bears but a small proportion to the whole number (about one-seventh), and applies to those Officers, only, whilst serving in these particular stations. When, in the ordinary course of relief, they are removed, they immedi ately come into the receipt of field allowances. This is the only reduction which has been made, or which is intended to be in:de, in the regimental allow ances of Officers in India. No reduction in the allowances of the Native Officers and Men has ever been contemplated.

OLD COURT. James Cummins, aged 38, was indicted fur =alit:loll-4Y cutting, with intent to kill and murder, his wife Cathr . rine, on the sth of August last, in the parish of 64 Air. C. PHILLIPS stated the case. ..2• Catherine Cummins (who at first refused to he swot* but afterwards consented) was then called up by Idr: Baron Garrow. She appeared ready to sink, and - stet& to the Court that she began the assault with a flat and dared bins to hit her. Mr. Ilsron GARROW-Prosecutrix, you are brough t here to perform one of the must painful duties that can b i performed in administering justice ; Ivlsicb duty, however' you are bound to pet form, even if it affects the life of Y! lit own husband. The prosecutrix (supported by her nurse) was affecte d ,' almost to fainting; she answered that she knew she rove tell the whole truth, but she knew that she was much in fault. She was then examined by Mr. C. PHILLIPS-She livet with the prisoner at No. 8, Church-lane, in the parish St. Giles's; was, on the sth of August, cutting some veal for her children; the prisoner was there; be came i s 11 ' eleven o'clock, with two shillings and four pence; ask e ' bins why he did not bring in more money ; he said dial' he was coming in first to have something to eat, a s lit could work better after it; she began to jaw at him ; Ise called her souse out of the way name, and she struck hint with a fiat iron ; he said he had a good mind to strike her again with it ; she dared him to do it, and he then strut her ; she took her own part es wril es she could, aol screamed out; she fel!, but she did not exactly know srh a caused her to fall ; she had been examined before the Ma.• gistrate, but she was then almost insensible, nod did not hardly know what she said. At this stage of the case, Mr. Baron GAIMOW intimatel to Mr. Phillips that he did not think the indictment c aul sust:inchl, as, to support the present charge, it was net cessary tba the crime should have been murder, if the per" sun assaulted had died. The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE then told him that, from the et duct of the prosecutrix on this occasion, he was bound future to show more than the usual tenderness expec' between persons in the married state. The prisoner and his wife appeared much affected dill : the whole cas e ; but, wh en • the prosecutrix ascertrtil l A that her husband was acquitted, she clasped her hands, Fi cried with joy; in fact, there was hardly a female in C° ° r . , who did not follow her example.
