No. 14,027 IN KENT, A little beyond the Rural Village of WESTERHAM. A FREEHOLD PLEASURE FARM, called RED HILL, of 122 ACRES, with ORNAMENTAL GROUNDS and PLANTATIONS. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Atction Mart, on THURSDAY, the 19th of October, at Twelve o'clock, by direction of the Trustee, and under a posi tive power of Sale, AFREEHOLD PLEASURE FARM, di lightfully situate about three miles beyond WESTERHAM, IN KENT, 12 miles past Bromley, and 23 from London. It is a cireumstanee of rare occurrence when such a Property is attainable. THIS PARK, or rather PET FARM, must be distinguished from what usually bears that name ; for although the abode d ,- )es not pretend to accommodate a very large family, yet it is full of comfort, and the situation is so romantic ; indeed, it is altogether so irresistible, that Mr. Robins intreats all those who may need such a retreat to seek occular proof and without delay. It is seated on a verdant Lawn, adorned by myriads of American and other shrubs, and disposed in such extraordinary taste, that Repton would indeed be proud to acknowledge it as his own offspring. The Kitchen Garden is shut out by means of no in considerable tact, and ornamented by the Hermitage ; this with the luxuriant Orchards form altogether a delightful ensemble. The offices are capital, and very abundant, and those adapted to Agri cultural pursuits are so good as to leave nothing to be desired. The Villa is aided in its outward appearance by a Veranda, which encircles it. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-TWO ACRES IS THE EXTENT OF THE DOMAIN, Varied in every direction by the HANOING WOODS, and full-grown Plantations. The country far and near appears as ONE CONTINUED PARK; The society is capital, and there is no lack of good fellowship. The soil is adapted to add profit to the pleasure of superintending the farm. The second crop of clover may now be seen in great luxuri ance. Cows-are fatted on the pasture, and the hops new growing leave no doubt of the character of the soil. In conclusion, it may be affirmed it stands alone for its manifold advantages. It is on lease (shortly expiring) to Mr. Hartnall, a most respectable tenant, who farms admirably, at only 130/. a-year. Particulars may be had 20 days prior to the sale , at the best Inns at Bromley; the King's-arms, Westerham; of Messrs. Harrison and Dobree, Solicitors, Hart-street, Bloomsbury ; the Auction-mart ; and in Covent-garden. IN WARWICKSHIRE. - - THE MANSION, ESTATE, AND MANOR OF LEAM INGTON HASTINGS, NEAR TO DAVENTRY AND DUNCHURCH, AND ONLY EIGHT MILES FROM LEAMINGTON SPA. TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS, At the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, the 19th of October, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, by direction of the Trustees under the Deed of settlement, ASingularly eligible and VERY IMPORTANT FREEHOLD PROPERTY, admirably suited to a Capi talist who would invest in perfect security, and with prospective views of an augmented rent that will not be a little encouraging. It comprehends THE ESTATES OF THE LATE E. S. SITWELL, ESQ. which have long held a high place in the estimation of the War wickshire yeomen. It is a neighbourhood famed for good fellow ship, and the county has always been distinguished for flail superio rity of the soil. THE MANSION-HOUSE , IN DAYS OF YORE (in the time of the Trevors and Wheelers), was not a little conse quential ; and it needs only a moderate outlay, with a mixture of tact and judgment. to restore it at once to its original and legiti mate rank. Mr. Robins would prefer to inlist the attention of the reader rather to the comfort that presides within, than the precise order of its architectural form without. A noble row of elms FORMS A SPLENDID AVENUE EN'FACE. And a Lawn of some extent and beauty encircles the abode. There is a capital walled garden, of considerable extent, and prolific be yond measure—Covent-garden market is not needed as an auxi liary. There are thriving plantations, which give protection from the wintry cold, and the park grounds in front produce an ensemble of no ordinary nature. THE DEMESNE AND FARMS ALTOGETHER EXCEED THIRTEEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY ACRES; a large proportion includes some of the best land in the County. There is also a mixture of clay upon limestone. The splendid crops of Wheat and Barley of this year's orowth (and after a most unpropitious spring, let. it be remembered), prove beyond the power of doubt tke congeniality of the soil. The Estate is divided into SIX CONVENIENT FARMS, and in the list of tenants may be accounted some of the moat re spectable yeomen and bast farmers of Warwickshire. The present rental is near SEVENTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR. This includes the tithe. But it should be remarked, that the re spected late owner had a satisfaction in rating his tenants very low. The time is at hand when a new proprietor may augment his in come considerably. THE WARWICK AND NAPTON CANAL and the turnpike-road from Dunchurch to Southam pass through the estate, and the RAILWAY TO LIVERPOOL and London is at a moderate distance. The Church forms a pleasing feature in aid of the mansion-house, and THE RIVER LEAM is a boundary to the property, and is full of pike. There is plenty of good hunting, famous shooting, and the poor-rate is almost no minal. Such is a brief outline of a few only of the manifold qua lifications ; the rest is left for oecular demonstration. Particulars may be had, twenty-eight days previous to the sale, at the Dun Cow and Green Man, Dunehurch ; the Wheatsheaf, Da ventry ; the Craven Arms, Coventry ; Hen and Chickens, Bir mingham ; the Auction Mart ; and at Mr. George Robins's offices, London. To view the Estate, apply to Mr. Over, at the Lamb, Kytes Hardvvieke ; and to the respective COUNTY OF WATERFORD. THE COOLISHALL AND GLENMORE ESTATES. TWO exceedingly beautiful and highly improvable FREEHOLD PROPERTIES, including altogether nearly ONE THOU SAND TWO HUNDRED ACRES of PASTURE, ARA BLE, WOOD, and MOUNTAIN LAND, producing at Rents and annual valise upwards of One Thousand P ounds. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has; been favoured with the instructions of the Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at Morrison's Hotel, Dawson-street, Dublin, on SATIFILDAY, the 30th of September, at Twelve for One o'clock, TWO HIGHLY D FR ISTINGU EEHOLD ISH PRODE and VERY VALUABLE PERTIES, extensively known as COOLISH ALL ESTATE and DEMESNE of GLENMORE; It is styled EAST BALLYGALLY HOUSE ; and to which the attention of those who would invest in parfait, security is earnestly requested. These very attractive estates have for a lengthened period enjoyed the proud distinction of being re- cognised as PET PLACES OF THE LOCALITY - - which they adorn; they are happily situate upon THE BANI OF THE BLACKWATER, which abounds with salmon-trout, and the pure and limpid water of which NOBLE RIVER FLOWS BETWEEN THE ESTATES. They are also only three miles from the canal at Lismore, four from the quays of Tullowbridge and Tyreullen, on the river Bride, and twelve from the SEA-PORT TOWN OF YOUGHALL, ALL IN THE COUNTY OF WATERFORD. The situation needs no panegyric to those who are fortunate enough to have enjoyed ocular demonstration of its varied beauties; to those, however, who lack that advantage, a few brief observa tions will not be eut of place. THE SCENERY is MOST ROMANTIC and LUXURIANT ; THE RICHLY WOODED GLEN, And " PICTURESQUE FALL OF GLENMORE" Which is a portion of the Property, and considered one of its proudest features, forms the eastern boundary of Coolishall, and the river Araglin bounds it on the north ; the house and demesne have the Blackwater on the north, with private boats and walks to connect them with the FAMED GLEN AND WATERFALL OF GLENMORE ; and on the west are thick plantations. The walks and shrubberies are very extensive, adorned by thousands of the choicest fruit trees and flowering shrubs, and the Residence commands extensive views of the Grounds of GLENCAIRN ABBEY, FORT WILLIAM, THE CATHEDRAL, and CASTLE OF LISMORE, with many other seats of renown. The surpassing beauty of the ornamental timber renders the scene perfect ; indeed there are many who have likened this favoured property to ELYSIUM. If profit he in the mind's eye of the purchaser, he will find a suitable spot whereon to erect a mill or factory, with an UNLIMITED COMMAND OF WATER; and there are also numerous romantic and beautiful spots, admirably suited to the erection of villas; in fact, the temptation will be irre sistible for a building operation on a large and profitable scale. The Domain extends altogether to nearly ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED ACRES OF ARABLE, PASTURE , WOOD, AND MOUNTAIN LAND. The residence is replete with comfort, and ample for all the legi timate desires of a family of high respectability. Nearly the entire property is irrigated, there is an unlimited command of ing mountains lime-stone, limestone-sand, marle, and turbary ; all the neig abound in grouse, and the WINTER SHOOTING MAY BE ASSIMILATED TO THAT OF KILLARNEY," And the HUNTING and FISHING unsurpassed any where. It will not be amiss to state, with a view to remind the Irish, and to ILLUMINE THE ENGLISH CAPITALIST, to point out a few advantages, that have had but little weight in their estima tion heretofore ; it has been too much the fashion to talk of Irish property asof SUPPOSITITIOUS VALUE—the rental as exceed ingly difficult in its collection, and the tenantry poor an d dissatisfied. In some distant part s o f Ireland, where land is OVER LET, or rented by THOSE REAL OPPRESSORS OF THE POOR, THE MIDDLEMEN, it may be that the foregoing remarks will occasionally apply ; but on this property, situate in the very best and most civilised part of Irela aNc i t i ou d Dmi ,. efo a ocrft r lc e voi f s r l e sni i i hing contrast is presented.

CONFECTIONARY, PRESERVES, AND HOME-MADE WINES. THE Season having arrived when supplies of Brandy are required for the above preparations, it is right that the superior merits of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY should be borne in mind ; as, from its extreme purity and perfect freedom from those acids which exist in French Brandies, it is, in a peculiar degree, adapted to those purposes. It is also strongly re oommended by the Faculty, and particularly at this season, as a substitute for Beer or other fermentable liquors, when diluted with water in the proportion of one to six or seven ; in which state the price but little exceeds that of Malt Liquor.

Previous, however, to entering Into the hallowed obligation of marria g e, it becomes an impressive duty not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from -those impurities which the freedom of unrestricted pleasure may have e ntailed upon it. Luxurious habits w ill effeminise the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially does the premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the natural dignity into a state of inanition, from whence the agonised sufferer mere than doubts the chance of relief. To all such, then, we address ourselves,. offering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which concentrate the nuptial wreath—for the female habit is often cos. s titutionally weak—yet it can be strengthene d, and deficient energy un proved into functional power.

Austell... Itodmi , n Liskeard Launceston Camelford Penzance THE L PRICE sd. CTION The result of the late election, and the noble conduct of the electors of East Cumberland, are the theme of exulta tion and of praise in every part of the kingdom ; and have afforded to almost every newspaper in the empire a fruitful subject for comment and commendation. It was a struggle of no ordinary importance ; for it turned entirely upon prin ciples of government and morality ; and the intense anxiety with which its progress appears to have been watched by men of all parties, proves how vast must be the influence its result will have upon the future. On the side of the Liberals the battle was fought under many disadvantages. Sir James Graham had long been a favourite in the county ; he had bearded the power of the Lowther faction in times of difficulty ; as a magistrate he had aided materially in reducing the county expenditure and checking the presumption and extravagance of offi cials, and he had been of material service in throwing open the " private" business to public inspection. These were services which ought not to be, and were not forgot ten ; and it was nothing but the strong feeling of indignation excited by his political tergiversation, the barefaced breach of the promises he had made upon the hustings in 1835, that could have moved the yeomen to stir a step against him. Then he had all the Tories to aid him : the whole power of the house of Lowther, openly or covertly was exercised ; and following in its train were the small Aristocracy, the Musgraves, the Hassells, and all the other parasitical plants which feed and flourish under the genial influence of Low ther Castle, (and by whom, strange to say, he was but a few years before most zealously opposed)—he had all these unscrupulously exercising whatever power they possess — threatening, intimidating, and worrying their tenants to ac quiesce in their views. He had the great bulk of the clergy on his side, with the Bishop at their head, who, though a Peer of Parliament, was not over fastidious in the exercise of his power. Besides these advantages, there was another of no small moment. It was not a mere contest of Blue and Yellow — of Whig and Tory, under the ancient and acknowledged leaders of the respective parties. Sir James had certainly all the Yellows, that is, all the Tories, but in addition to these he had all his own tenantry and personal friends—to the amount of at least 500, who had always hitherto been blues, and who were still Liberals—supporting him merely as their landlord. In a contest with mere Tories, Sir James Graham out of the question, these men would one and all been on the Liberal side ; and thus taking the num bers as they stood on the poll, it appears that the Tory strength in East Cumberland is about 1,100 ; the Liberal strength about 2,800. Sir James Graham complained at the outset of the con test that he was taken by surprise and without warning. This is a somewhat singular complaint from one who so far back as April, 1836, sent retainers to every attorney in the division who would accept them, offering terms which showed how high a price he set upon the seat, and how de termined he was to be ready against all comers. To make up for their recent loss, we find the party are about to commence a campaign of agitation, under that dis tinguished commander, Major Wilde, of the famous West Suffolk militia. There was a mustering of the forces on Wednesday last, at Carlisle, summoned by an elegsntly in dited " private" circular, signed by General Wilde. The circular is too good to be lost, and as it elucidates the movements of the party, we here present a copy : [Private] " Carlisle, Aug. 14, 1837. " DEAR SIR,-A meeting of the friends to the Conser vative cause in Cumberland and Eskdale wards, will be held at the Bush Inn, Carlise, on Wednesday, the 16th in stant, at twelve o'clock at noon, for the purpose of taking measures to promote its future success, which you are par ticularly requested to attend. " As local information relative to the circumstances of the voters on the register, and to those of friends to the cause, not on the register, is particularly required, it is deemed of the first importance, that you, and others who possess this information should attend, in order to afford the necessary materials for making the register as complete as possible ; and unless some particular cause should happen to prevent your attendance, it is earnestly hoped you will not fail to meet us on Wednesday. " The favour of your answer is requested, which may be directed to me at the Bush Inn.—l remain, dear Sir, " Your obliged and faithful servant, W. WILDE." " N.B.—lf you can procure a copy of the Overseers' List of Electors for the present year, in your parish, be so good as bring it with you on Wednes da y ." This circular produced a consider able " gathering of the clans," and there was much speechification from the Rev. William Graham, the brother of Sir James, and we under stand the party talked very loudly of what they would do next time. All we shall say is, " let them try." Never did men speak more confidently, or boast more lustily of the certainty of success than did the same persons up to the last hour of the late contest ; and if the result of that con test is to be taken as a criterion of the value to be placed upon their words—few indeed will be found to give car to them. Of one thing, however, this circular warns us. Sir James Graham has now thrown himself wholly and entirely into the arms of the Tories—" Conservatives," as they wish to designate themselves ; and the county is to be kept in agita tion until he can again be reseated. Those who have voted against him are to be struck from the Register if possible—if money or trickery can accomplish it ; and their place is to be supplied by men of more pliable metal ; such being the English of the gallant Major's epistle when duly translated. Be it so. The Liberals can have no ob jections to meet them on this ground ; and we now call upon our friends in every part of the Division to be active and vigilant—to watch the Registry narrowly, and give us notice of the enemy's movements. The yeomanry of Cum berland have attained a position from which they cannot be dislodged ; and from whieh they will not be beaten by un fair practices.—Carlisle Journal. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.--.A letter from Ma- I drid of the 16th instant has the following :—" For a year past we have had here a German painter named John Baes. He had come commissioned by the Duke of Brunswick to make a copy of the splendid Raphael which adorns our Museum. On finishing his picture, which connoisseurs pronouuced to be not without merit, he deemed it so different from the original painting that, in a fit of despair, he has destroyed himself. The occurrence has made a considerable impression here even amidst our political agi tation." It is a remarkable circumstance that the unfortu nate gentleman, the only life that was lost by the burning of the 21fedway steamer, was lately assured in the Argus Assurance Office for 1,0001., by a party who had an interest in his life. The circumstance, if it were needed, must con vince every person of the advantages of life assurance to an intelligent and enterprising community ; whether it be in a man snaking a provision for his wife and family against pecuniary distress by premature death, or in a creditor se curing the payment of a debt, dependent upon the perso nal exertions and character of the debtor. In the present instance, here is a gentleman in the prime of life, 39 years of age, and in excellent health, by one of those occurrences which no human being can foresee or prevent, now repos ing in the silent tomb. Much to the credit of the office where the assurance was effected, on the result of the coroner's inquest being made known, the amount assured was immediately paid. EARWIG3.—At Burford, Oxfordshire, the fields and even houses are swarming with earwigs, whilst other insects are comparatively scarce. The former are more numerous this season than ever remembered, and have for some time been devouring the leaves of the Swedish turnips, especially near the wall fences, in which they shel ter themselves. The earwigs have also been troublesome in the gardens this year, destroying the wall fruit, particu larly apricots. The following plan has been successfully adopted for their extirpation :—Cut lengths of hollow reeds from dried hemlock, easily obtained in the hedges, in pieces about seven or eight inches long, and slanting at each end, so that the reed may be placed under a small branch of the fruit-tree against the wall, and afford every facility to the earwigs to enter ; early in the morning wi th a mine the trees, and blow thr ou g h each reed into a jug a few inches of hot water in the bottom, which will force the earwigs into the water ; replace the reeds, and repeat the visit every morning till the insects are exterminated. A NEGRO SERMON.--I attended one of t 1 chapels, open every evening, and found the audience, prin. cipally black women, sitting on bnches acket and, and list en blac ing k at vest, ten tively to a stou t negro in a white j who delivered with c onsiderable animation a discourse on faith. His enunciation was very thick ; and I could make out little else than this. " Suppose you hab massa, and he give you cow to keep, and you let eat up all guinea grass, you go sleep. Night time come, you go ask wanes, and massa say, you get no wages, you get fioggee. So Lord Almighty give you bible, and tell you believe in Jesus Christ, and you go for bad : how go heaven after that? You go see hell fire.

It commenced shortly after eleven o'clock, and continued with scarcely any intermission until about half-past three o'clock, the rain during that period descending in torrents, flooding the streets and roads, and rendering them nearly impassable. It came up from the south-west, passing nearly to north-east, and was most severe about Hanwell, Ealing, Acton, Willesdon, Harrow, Edgeware, &c. At the com mencement the heavens presented a most awful appearance, the clouds hanging in huge black masses of such density, that they resembled black rocks piled one above the other, and to the westward, after the first two or three flashes of lightning, which were extremely vivid and forked, they be came tinged with a deep red. The thunder was also very loud. A cerrespondent says that near the seat of the Earl of Mansfield, between Hampstead and Highgate, a fine large bull which was grazing in a park with cows, was killed by the lightning. The same correspondent adds, that a horse was killed at the same moment, and from the same cause, while drawing an omnibus in the new-road. A great deal of damage was done to the trees in Caen wood, many of them being struck by the electric fluid, and shi vered to pieces. " THE MAN OF BUSINESS."—Women have for for some time past been the gr?at patronesses of modern fictions ; but Mrs. Gore has just produced one which we suspect will be read quite as much by the male as the fe male sex. We allude to her " Stokeshill-place ; or The Man of Business." In this admirable fiction the authoress quietly but deeply shadows forth the mingled contempt and hatred which the country aristocracy bears towards a new man, and hits hard the disposition in this country to post pone the enjoyment of life and the ties of affection to the reputation of a man of business. She also sketches in a masterly manner one of the social nuisances of the time— the ‘. worst possible style of young men." The character of Shoreham, the representative of this class, from his first ap pearance to the last we hear of him, is a perfect bijou as a piece of painting, and his uncle Gustavus Drewe, with his brother Parson Drewe, the modern sporting, slang Di vine, are equally good. All the characters are evidently drawn from the life. Between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturday night upwards of forty men, principally costermongers, living in Mill-lane, Deptford, proceeded along the banks of the river Ravensbourne for the purpose of having a pitched battle. Police constable Rose 154 It, told them they should not fight upon his beat, when one of the party exclaimed, " Let's throw the into the river." his police N which hKhi:rb brought g c h am t They instantly s e ized him by the arms and legs, and constablesstaii ce, to who tspr spot.ung were about to carry their threat into execution, vvhen came to o hisassi The mob then pulled down a large quantity of garden fence and armed themselves. Sergeant Osborn we nt to the station-house for further assistance, and in a few mi nutes returned with the men in reserve. A desperate conflict ensued, but, after great difficulty, the ringleader (who was conveyed, on a stretcher to the station-house in a state of complete nudity), another man, and a woman, were secured. Several of the police are svverely injured, and it is a miracle, from the determined che.racter of the parties, that no lives were lost. CHURCH RA - TES.—In consequence of reprsenta tions to the Bishop of London, as to the condition of the Church of St. James, Clerkenwell, Archdeacon Putt sent the usual monition to the churchwardens, calling upon them to adopt measures for the necessary repairs of the. edifice. In pursuance of this monition, a vestry meeting of the inha bitants was held on Friday evening, in the church, Mr. Hayward, the senior warden in the chair, when a% rate of twopence in the pound was moved by Mr. Nicholson, and seconded by Mr. Jones. The rate was supporte dby Mr. Lovell, Mr. Thomson, and others, and opposed. by Mr. Beasley, Mr. Frost, Mr. Mullins, and Mr. Mafien.. The vestry, after a discussion of five hours, divided on. an amend ment of Mr. Frost, to adjourn the question ibr twelve months, which was carried by a large majority.. The day s before yesterday (Tuesday) a hrutil fight took place for five pounds aside between a baker named Hibbins, a Conservative, and Ashley, the landlord of the O'Brien Arms public-house, Stamford, a Radical, w ho had a political quarrel a few days before. The parties wt :nt into the county of Rutland, where the ring was just Formed, when they were compelled by the Magistrates co leave that county. The fight took place at Collyston -vrood, Nor zbamptonshire, and lasted for upwards of an b our, when Hibbins was declared the victor, after having bur -st both of the eyes of his antagonist Ashley, who is thus rent lered blind for life,—Stan ford Mercur,y.

Ministry in August, 1836, and a military revolt has put it down in August, 18;W, after a reign checkered with successes a nd disasters of one year and three days. The former was effected by sergeants and non-commis sioned officers, the present by generals, officers of the guards, and foreign diplomatists. On Wednesday, the 16th, Espartero marched, or pretended to march, against the enemy at La Granja and Segovia, when. 60 of his officers, in the village of Pozzuela de Araveca, refused to head their troops unless the Ministry were removed. Upon intelligence of this untoward event being sent to Madrid, the Ninisters, who had - remained all night at the palace; bolding a Cabinet Council at M. Calatrava's office, resigned by Thursday afternoon, the 17th. The Queen Regent, no doubt acquainted with and duly prepared - for such an event, affected to hesitate to accept the resignatiffici"fe-ndered, but, after some coquetting, her Majesty sent yesterdayaftertiOon-for M. Mendizebal to coun ter-sign the Royal decree of tier ItO eptin g Calatrava's re signation, and appointing Don Euesebio Bardaji y Azara as Foreign - Secretary in his place, which appeared in the Gazette of this morning,,and the rest of the appointments in a supplement to the - same . late in the afternoon. Some of the offices were delivered' up yesterday evening to their new tenants, and at 4 p.m. M. Calatrava formally took leave of all his chefs de bureau, &c., when each of the ex- Ministers removed their personal effects, Court dresses, &c., from their different offices, where they kept them to be enabled to wait on the Queen at a moment's warning, for, according to Spanish etiquette, they are not admissable to the Royal presence in plain clothes. BRITISH NAVAL ASSISTANCE. Her Britannic Majesty's Government, at the request of its ally, the Queen Regent of Spain, has reinforced her Ma jesty's squadron on these coasts with the following ships of war :—The Princess Charlotte, 104 guns ; the Vampire (Vangual d), 80 ; the Rodney, 92 ; the Russell, 74 ;the Asia, 84 ; the Talavera, 74 ; the Barham, 4 - 0 ; the Dido, 18 ; the Childers, 16 ; the Clio, 16 ; the Harlequin, 16 ; the Nautilus, 10 ; the Rapid, 10 ; the Orestes, 18 ; which squadron is under the command of Admiral Sic Robert Stopford, cruising between Barcelona and Gibraltar. As soon us th aforesaid Admiral learned that the band of Tristany was about to attack some points of the coast of Catalonia, he ordered the Vampire (Vanguard) and Childers to begin hostilities against it, an operation which was realized with the best effect, as Tristany abandoned Villanueva, and marched to Sitches, where the Captain of a British ship of war landed 300 men, occupied the town, and contributed most efficaciously to the rebels being put to flight. When the bands of Sans and Forcadell entered Grao, in Valencia, the British frigate Barham not only afforded pro tection to all who claimed it, but fired 105 cannot-shot at the band, doing them much damage, and finally compelling them to abandon the place. (From the Madrid Gazette of the 19th of August.) " ROYAL DECREE.

MADRID, AUG. 19.—At half-put two in the afternoon of the 16th, Espartero marched towards Segovia, and spent the night about two leagues from Madrid. On Friday morning some heavy artillery were sent to Segovia, it being then supposed that it was the intention of the factious to defend it. The collection of provisions in the town, and the fortifications commenced there b) them, have turned out to be a ruse, as it has since been ascertained that they evacuated the place, without so much as leaving a knapsack behind them. The intelligence of the abandonment of Segovia was only forwarded on yesterday to the Govern ment by Espartero, though the factious had left it two days previously. This account furnished by him indicates a sad neglect, on the part of the Christino Generals, of watching the movements of the Carlists. The dispatch in the Gazelle of this morning states, for example, that the Conde de Luchana was, just after receiving information on the 18th that the enemy had left Segovia, having spiked the cannon, and leaving but a few sick and wounded there_ General Vigo, it adds, was in pursuit of the rebels, whose direction was, according to some, towards Aranda ; accor ding to others, towards Atienza. flow the march of 6,000 men could be a matter of doubt to Mendez Vigo, whose head-quarters at Abadas was almost in sight of Segovia, is a matter of surprise to all. The General-in-Chief, Luchana, spent the night at Colmenar Viego on the 15th, about six leagues from Madrid. A dispatch from the General-in-Chief of the Army of the Centre, dated Cilla, August 15, states that the Pre tender, with nearly all the factious of Valencia and Aragon united, was at Camarillas, and that having given instruc tions to General Buerens, he marched the following day in search of the enemy towards that point. 'rhe Cortes were informed to-day of the resignation of' the old and the appointment of the new Ministers. San Miguel undertook the duty of explaining the intentions of be new Ministers, stating that they would continue in ;be progress of Reform, and respect the law for the conti uance in office of the Cortes until the new Deputies were returned. The Funds continue depressed ; the five per Cent.. are quoted at 19i on account, and little business transacted. The sub-secretaries of Finance and of the Home De partment, Senors Saenz and Armendarez, have both re signed to-day. The alcalde of Villaviciosa has reported to the political chief of Madrid that two hundred nen and officers belonging to the division of Espartero passed there yesterday at eleven o'clock, to join their respective batta lions. It is supposed that . these are the men who disobeyed orders to march at Alcorcorcon, a suburb of Madrid, un less the Ministers were dismissed. PORT UGAL. LisßoN, AUG. 20.—Events are treading fast upon each other's heels. The Duke de Terceira has at last gone off, not to join Saldanha, but to establish an additional rallying point for the charterists, some say at Mafra, others at Torres Vedras. lie started the day before yesterday afternoon from his house in a chaise with the Duchess for Cintra, where having left her, he and his two Aides-de- Camp, Lopes and St. Maur, proceeded to Mafra on horse back. The fact %las soon known in the town, and in the course of the night he was joined 'by not less than 500 persons from the city. Amongst them were 40 dismounted lancers, who broke open the royal mews and provided them selves with horses, between 20 and 30 soldiers of the mounted National Guard, and the whole garrison of Fort St. Julian, consisting of 120 artillerymen, who before they went took the precaution of locking up the governor in his bed-room. This last desertion, howe,ver, had already taken place the night before, and the Duke may more properly be said to have joined them than they hian: A fresh garrison, drafted from the celebrated 15th battalion of National Guards, and commanded by Mantas in person, has been sent to replace the fugitives, who, I omitted mentioning, carried off three field-pieces, and spiked all the heavy guns of the fortress. Another detachment has been sent to Caseaes, the troops at which place have deserted too. Two companies of the arsenal battalion were ordered on Thurs day to embark for Santarem (sixty-five miles up the Tagus), but refused in the most positive terms to go. " All of us, or none," was their answer. That town is considered a very important position, and the Government are so anxious to secure it that a part of the garrison'of Abrantes has, e been removed there. i was nearly forgetting to state dust the Duke de Terceira has been supplied with money to the amount of about 5,0001., subscribed by several merchants here. Oporto has been declared by its governor to be a state of siege. The Lisbon municipal guards, who had been sent there as a reinforcement, have come back in the Terceira steamer, their assistance not being considered hocessary. Such is the ostensible p lea ; but the real motive is evidently that their assistance cannot be dispensed with here. The bombardment of Valenca has commenced. Nu merous families have quitted the place, and the dansage is said already to be great, considering that there: axe only four mortars playing upon it.
