A Cabinet Council will be held at Windsor on the 20th instant, at which it is understood the day for the meeting of Parliament will be fixed. The Journalists that labour in the cause of Toryism have rather up-hill work of it. They roll the stone a little way, and then it rebounds upon their own heads. Still they are not deterred from the repetition of the same task, useless and endless though it is proved to he, for perseverance is the badge of all the tribe. They have gone on jabbering about the smallness of the Ministerial majority, and the impossibility of the affairs of the country being carried on by Ministers so feebly supported as they state the MELBOURNE Ad ministration to be, until, like the man who told the sauce lie in the same words so often that at last he believed it himself, they actually seem to have written themselves into a dream-like conviction of that of which every other person sees the absurdity at a glance. We reminded these self-flattering scribes yesterday that Sir ROBERT PEEL persisted in retaining office for three months, in opposition to a majority of the House of Commons, amounting to upwards of thirty votes. Does it then become the creatures of the Tamworth manifesto-monger to find fault with a Mi nistry for not immediately resigning when they find themselves supported by no greater a majority than forty ? Plus 40 is surely as efficient an instrument as minus 85, or the deuce is in it. But how do our opponents answer this plain position of our' ? They try to shuffle out of the dilemma by propounding as a sage discovery in political science the truism " that a party numerically strong enough for victory in oppo sition may not be strong enough to carry on the Go vernment." A majority of one is enough "to stop a measure," as the recondite writer whom we have quoted observes ; and if that small majority be con stant it also ought to be enough to oust a Ministry. What has that to do with the question ? We are not asserting that Lord MELBOURNE would follow the example of Sir ROBaRT PEEL in continuing to hold office though in a minoriti. We know that he has too nice a sense of honour, as well as too deep a veneration for the principles of the British Constitution, to pursue a course so much at variance with both. What we assert is, that a majority of forty, or even of thirty seven, as our Contemporary states it, is perfectly suf ficient to enable a Minister, situated as Lord MEL BOURNE is at present, to carry on the Government— aye, and to carry it on more energetically th an circum stances have hitherto permitted him to do. If it be not so, let us at least have something more than a mere ipse dixit for it. Let us have some reason stated to prove the contrary of our proposition. Let us know the exact number of the majority that will jus tify an Administration in retaining office. To keep harping on the same string—to he constantly dm ;ling in our ears that forty is too small a map r7ty—is neither one thing nor another. V 4 .111 fifty 4.10 ?—or must we have not less than sixty to secure the passing of liberal measures ? We want an answer -to these questions. If the an swer to any of them be in the affirmative, then we may perhaps be able to show that a much larger ma jority than any we have mentioned has failed to en sure the object aimed at. We shall probably be told that no majority, however great, of the House of Com mons, would be sufficient to carry some of the mea sures of the present Ministers, as long as the House of Lords remains true to its former solemn decisions. and to what it has proclaimed to be the highest inte rests of the country. If this be so, then we say, the question about a great or small majority is at an end. It is not the Ministers that ought to resign because they have a small majority, but the House of Lords that must be reformed, because it resists the will of the nation constitutionally expressed. What this Reform is to be, we think of little con sequence. As it cannot be expected that the Lords will assent to a remodelling of their House, the best way would perhaps be to adopt the method sanctioned by the practice of the last QUEEN that sat in her own right, on the throne of England—that of infusing fresh blood into the somewhat diluted and impoverished—it would be harsh, however true, to say degenerated—fluid that eirculates through the body corporate of the Peerage. Precedent is all in all with the advocates of Toryism. For this course there is a precedent, drawn, too, from an illustrious reign ; and pretend what they may, they are quaking under the apprehension that this precedent will be followed ; knowing, as they well know, that now Lord MEL BOURNE has only to state to his SOVEREIGN that such an exercise of the Royal prerogative is necessary —and the thing is done. The brutal attacks of the Tory Organs upon the Catholic and Liberal Protestant Constituencies of Irtland, fill the mind of th© great bulk of the Bri tish people with disgust and indignation. Among certain cliques of bigots and fanatics, the Munchausen fabrications of the Orange Press respecting the exis tence of Ribbon Societies are greedily swallowed as a convenient justification for railing against the conces sion of liberal institutions to Ireland ; but really sen sible people feel indignant at such an unwarrantable and cowardly mode of keeping up the prejudices against the brave and generous population of the Sister Kingdom, which, to the disgrace of Eng land, are not yet wholly eradicated. For the clamour about Ribbonmen there is not the shadow of a foundation. There is not at this instant a Ribbon Sociely in all Ireland —No, NOT ONE. There was not a Ribbon Society in Ire land since the passing of the Reform Bill. Such Societies do not even exist in the imaginations of those who pretend to denounce them ; for there is not a Tory scribe in the British empire who is ignorant of the non-existence of Ribbon institutions in every part of Ireland. The agents of the Hanoverian faction have repeatedly ; since the passing of the Catholic Emancipation Bill, attempted the establishment of such institutions among the rural population of Ireland. Supplied with funds subscribed by the Orange Lodges, villains have travelled through the country for the express purpose of initiating the pea santry in all the mysteries of disloyal plots and con spiracies, in order to denounce them afterwards to the Government ; but their infernal mission was unsuc cessful. In 1835 several of them were seized, and on being examined before the Magistrates, confessed them selves delegates from the Orange body, of which they acknowledged themselves members. The only con spirators now in Ireland are the Orangemen—the Ha noverians of the North—who in their drunken orgies toast the murders of their Catholic country met,. It is the absence of outrage in Ireland that infuriates the Tories. They are in despair at finding that Ireland will no longer be duped, deluded, and en slaved—will no longer submit to the iniquitous domi nation of an alien Church, an absentee aristocracy, and a combination of convicted Hanoverian conspirators. Hence in a fit of ungovernable fury, the bigotry of the apostate Times breaks forth in an attack upon'the POPE, whom the religious luminary of Printing house-square asdenounces a " silly sverstitious old man," who " exhibits some dirty rags, and some chips of old wood at the " Vatican." This is rather a roundabout way of implicating the moral and political conduct of the Irish Catholics ; but it is nevertheless, in perfect accordance with the established Hanoverian system of sectarian calumny. The POPE is head of the Catholic Church ; the majority of Irish men are Catholics ; ergo, Irishmen having no guilt of their own to be held accountable for, are responsible for the superstitious practices of the Holy See. If the Catholics were to adopt this mode of reasoning, they might turn the tables on the Tories with a vengeance. If the morality of GEORGE IV. were adopted as exhi_ biting in the Head of the Church of England the practices of the members of both sexes, the picture would be far less to our credit than is the exhibition of rags and old wood at the Vatican to the Catholics of Ireland. The Tories do not disguise the object of their tru culent and slanderous attacks on the people of Ireland. They acknowledge that they are opposed to the exten sion of equal rights to Irishmen ; and by their efforts to prolong the social and political degradation of the sister kingdom, they likewise admit that the tools with which they work are falsehoods, and that their hopes of success are centered in the bigoted prejudices of the British people. Mark the admission of the Times : " Well, for modern times and for present times, we are willing to refer the inhabitants of Europe' to the Irish newspapers—to the fearful catalogue of Irish crimes pro duced during the debates on the Irish Coercion Bill ; and to the atrocities which, daily perpetrated in Ireland at this moment, outdo in cowardice and bloodthirstiness all that has been recorded of the most untameable savages which are not actual cannibals. Let the inhabitants of Europe here recognize the services and the virtues' of the O'Cuii nellites, their title to an equality of civil rights and privi leges' with the English." dastardly attack on the Irish Catholics as the following, which we extract from the leading columns of the Times of yesterday : " The Pope can make a Saint out of any stuff, though it must be confessed that in modern times the representatives of St. Peter have certainly not shown much disposition to manufacture them out of Irish timber. Probably their Holinesses have seen that the O'Connell saints were handed down to posterity in the Newyate Calendar, which rendered it unnecessary to immortalize them in the Red-book of Rome." The employment of such disgusting language as this by the Conservative Press; is one of the best ar guments that can be adduced in favour of an imme diateo repeal of the Union. In this ribaldry there is evidence of a deep-rooted hatred of the Irish name and nation—of an ill-concealed desire to drive Ire land to the commission of some act with a view of kindling a civil war between her and Great Britain. This is really one of the griat objects of the Tory faction. The insults heaped upon Ireland — the indignities offered to the religion of her inhabitants—the menaces hurled at her in the event of her offering the least resistance—are so many goads employed to drive her into a state of rebellion, in the hope of rivetting the chains which she is preparing to cast from her. But the good sense and the grow ing intelligence of the Irish people, will render this blood-thirsty scheme of the Tories, as abortive as the PADDY IVI'IIuGH machinations of the Imperial Grand Orange Lodge. They will continue to adopt the advice of Mr.O'CONNELL—to banish dissension from among them—to press on boldly but peaceably for their rights, and—as an inevitable consequence—they will, they must obtain them. If remonstrance fail they have only to have recourse to passive resistance to put down every abuse resulting from three centuries of British oppression. The Paris Journals of Monday are quite as unim portant as those of the three preceding days. On the Sth the garrison of San Sebastian marched towards Tolosa. They were opposed by a large body of Car lists at Urnieta ; but the rebels were defeated with con siderable loss. In Guipuscoa, Brigadier-General O'DONNELL had a brush with the Carlists, whom he likewise put to flight, after a stout resistance. The latest advices from Madrid are to the 3d, and from Saragossa to the sth instant. Don CARLOS had re-entered Cantavieja, hotly pursued by Generals ESPARTERO and ORAA. CABRERA had not been shot, having made his escape, after mortally wounding VILLAREAL in the presence of the Pretender. H e carried with him a large quantity of rich booty. The following are extracts from the French Papers:— Our correspondent at Toulon writes on the 7th—" A report is in general circulation in the city that the expedi tion to Constantine will not take place ; and the report ap pears to be not wholly destitute of foundation. It seems that on the 28th the two parties were on the point of coming to an agreement. The telegraph is at work." The English and German Journals, and after them the French, have said a great deal about a mis s ion t o E ng l an d, c onfided to M. Dc Rumigny, the King's aide-de-camp, by Louis Philip, the object of which was said to be relative to the affairs of Spain. A French Journal has gone so far as to say that M. De Rumigny had had a conference on the subject with M. Matueschewic, the Russian Ambassador at Naples, sent to London by his Sovereign for the same pur pose. This story is entirely false. M. de Rumigny set out on the 24th of last month for Amiens, where he attended all the sittings of the Council General of the Somme, of which he is a member ; he then came to Paris on the sth of this month, and since his arrival has not quitted the capital for a single moment. He is even row on duty ebout the King, while he is said to be travelling and negotiating diplomatic arrangements.—Le Constitu tionnel. The resumption of the negociations seems to be Affirmed by the Semaphore, which we have jurt received by express. It says—" A steam-boat has just arrived from Bona. According to reports, the accuracy of which I cannot warrant, the negociations had been resumed, and this time it is said an officer of the Bey had conferred with the Governor, and the difficulties which caused the rupture of the negociations at Busnach have been removed. We look with impatiunce for the confirmation of this news."—P,ivote Correspcndence of the Journal du Commerce. TOULON, SEPT. 7.—lt appears from the reports of se veral ships, that the squadron of Admiral Lalande, after parting company with the Hercule, entered the Tagus, and that it is there that the Fulton steam-boat delivered to it the order to proceed immediately where it must be at this moment. The precautions which the Government has taken to protect the Bey of Tunis, our ally, have made a favour able impression here ; it is an act of rigour that we did not expect. .The asimiere steam-boat is waiting for the signal to depart for Tunis with dispatches from Admirals Gallois and Lalande. The English Journals, which have given news from Lisbon of the 28th, have not noticed the presence of Admiral La lande in the Tagus.—Le Commerce. An English Engineer has arrived at Havre, who is going to Paris to lay before the French Government a project for constructing a passage to cross dry-shod from Calais to Dover. The whole town of Havre have been to hear Mr. W. Coppett (this is his name), explain the nature of his plan. Mr. Coppett asks of France only one million, and as much of England. With this sum he will make cones like those employed at Cherbourg between fifty and sixty years ago. If the Government do not approve of this system, he has in his pocket three or four others. For instance, he will make a tunnel under the sea from Dover to Calais, introducing from one end to the other cast-iron pipes, 18 feet in diameter. This last mode of communica tion, according to Mr. Coppett, would cost only one mil lion, to be paid in equal portions by both countries.—Le Commerce. FRENCH FUNDS.—Psuts, SEPT. 11.

Spanish Differed New Differes, The basis of this insulting and atrocious declaration is a single outrage, and against this one breach of the laws, England during the late election can boast of a clear Tory balance of upwards of fifty. Irishmen are not yet base enough to accept two pounds . "a head as the price of their liberties. They have not arrived at that point of Conservative indifference, when they might be safely treated with for the sale of their coun try. Neither are they so indifferent to their religion as to select as their representatives men who have vows—not in heaven, but in hell--for its extirpation. Ireland will either have an equality of civil and reli gious rights with England and Scotland, or she will have a domestic legislature. This is her determination, and we would despise her did we believe her capable of swerv ing from it. If she be but true to herself—if she but follow the counsels of her tried and faithful servant, Mr. O'CONNELL, she may laugh to scorn the false hoods and the threatenings of the Tory faction. The thunder of the apostate Times can produce no more mischief than would the squeaking of a penny trumpet, so long as Ireland continues to maintain her present dignified and commanding, attitude. Indirectly the Tory organs are fighting as hard as they can the battles of the Irish Liberals. The brutal at tack of the Times yesterday on the Catholic religion has excited the disgust of hundreds of the Conserva tives themselves, who have the sagacity to perceive that such a mode of warfare will at once enlist on the side of Ireland the honest feelings and generous sym pathies of the British people. What feelings' but those of contempt and disgust could be felt for a faction, that through its official organ could stoop to such a THB FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Halifax Papers to the 8t1; of August, and New Bruns wick to the 18th of August, have been this day received. The Halifax Nova-Scotian says, " Our Bank pays specie again, and confidence and good feeling have taken the place of bickering and distrust." THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1837.

The only mail in town this morning is French ; that por tion of its mercantile contents which are of public import ance will be found below. The imports at the port of London are not just now ex tensive. The chief articles are British Plantation Sugar, Coffee, Rum, and Irish Butter. There are about twenty West Indian vessels now in the Downs with Sugar and Coffee aboard, and one Mauritius vessel with 6,000 bags of that Sugar. The wind being favourable, these may soon be expected up. The exports of Colonial produce are good, and so are the deliveries of most Colonial commodities for home consump tion. The season will soon tell against the export trade : but a good home trade has every prospect of being secured. A good deal is doing in our Colonial market privately. SUGAR, both British Plantation and Mauritius, quoted yester day as held for Is. to Is. 6d. per cwt. higher, in consequence of the hurricane, have established that advance by actual tran sactions; but the market is rather quiet to-day, and the Re fined is 325. 6d. for fine crushed. COFFEE.—The only thing worth notice in this commodity is that there is rather more inquiry for Foreign. Good ordi nary Coloury Brazil has sold at 395. BARBADOES GINGER has established an advance of ls. to 2s. per cwt. ; and Rice ( East India) of 6d. per cwt. Innmo.-- - -Although East India Indigo cannot be quoted as having positively established an advance upon the advanced prices quoted yesterday, it must be regarded as still looking up, and so is Spanish. WooL.—The public sales progress. Some good fleeces have been sold, in addition to the low and middlin g kinds in stanced yesterday, and these have fetched Id. to 2d. per lb. advance. No fine wool has yet been put up. COTTON continues to be in good demand in the London market, and prices are rather stiffer. METALS.—Spelter is now down to 131. 15s. to 141. per ton. Iron and Lead are both brisk, and the reply to several orders for Iron sent into Wales is, that such Is their present engage ments that they cannot execute them. PaovisioNs.—lrish Butter is inclined to go down in price. Dutch Butter is Is. lower, and the best may now bo bought at 105 s. ; Bacon is very firm at 655. for the best. TALLOW is 40s. 3d. to-day on the spot, and for delivery. . . TEA. --The sale progresses with spirit, but shows no va riation from our report of yesterday. The accounts received this morning from the Continental Markets are of very little stirring commercial interest; never theless, they are so far favourable that the recently noticed re. vival in trade continues to gain in strength and extent, and the reports from all places that have reached us, state a good and steady business doing, at fair and firm prices. In Holland, Belgium, and the North of France, seeds for crushing are held for higher rates, which the crushers at some places had paid but reluctantly, and only buying for immediate want ; it seems to be the general opinion amongst the crushers on the Continent, that, although the prices of Oil have advanced, and are advancing, the raw material seeds, in consequence of the low rates at present current i►► all the Baltic ports and the in terior of Germany, will not in proportio❑ participate in the improvement, as large supplies are known to arrive during the latter part of the year, and that these will pour in so as to enable the crushers to supply themselves according to their owl actual want, and at their own prices, thus remov►ng the necessity of keeping the stocks with accompanying expenses from them to the importers, which, if this be the case, natu rally will be more at the mercy of the crushers than generally is the case. We have received accounts from the fishery at Newfoundland, describing the catch of Cod to have been very plentiful, and the supplies of Cod Oil are consequently expected to prove good. The intelligence of the fruit season at Malaga and Alicante state the crop of Raisins and Almonds to look exceedingly well; and, as the orders for - the United States this year, for kuown reasons, fall considerably short of what the former years have been the custom, it was expected that lower prices would be paid, and the greatest part of the crop go to England. The continued fine and seasonable weather in France has checked the speculation in Wine, which for some weeks past was noticed; buyers were holding back, and the quotations lit tle mere than nominal. The vintage was expected to begin in the neighbourhood of Bordeaux the 15th or 20th instant, and the grapes looking promising. We have Mauritius Price Currents to the 23d of May ; the exchange on London for Government Bills of GO days were at par, the demand slack. The exports of Sugar from the Sqtember to the 15th of May, amounted to 59,843,0331b5.

On inquiry it was ascertained by Mr. Burgess that a large 'vessel filled with pitch, which had lately been. placed in the shop, had ex ploded and ignited, and the fire fearfully spreading ; but in consequence of the timely information given to the fire bri gade stations of Chandos-street and Crown-street, the men and engines from which were in immediate attendance, the serious destruction of property at first entertained was prevented. After a Tory tea drinking at Ratcliffe, the follow ing toast was proposed ;--" May all the females present bring forth 12 children, and may they all be Tories."

We learn, with great regret, that a formal separa tion will be arranged in a few days between a Noble Lord and his Lady. All prospect of accommodation, founded on the hope of altered conduct in the offending individual, is unfortunately at an end.—llforning Post. The Queen has graciously intimated her intention of becoming the patroness of the London Ophthalmic Hos pital, Moorfields. The announcement of her Majesty's in tention was conveyed by Lord J.

Celeste, the celebrated actress and danseuse, is engaged to perform a few nights at the Grand Opera, prior to her departure for the Theatre Royal Drury-lane, London, where she is to appear on the 30th. She will afterwards return to Paris for a series of representations. The new Hungarian theatre at Pesth was opened on the 22d ult. The performances commenced w►th a piece de circonstance, from the pen of a M. Von Voeroes marty, under the title of Arpad Ebredese, which was fol lowed by a translation of Schenck's Belizarius. A M. G. Barentin of Leipzic, lately invented a method of preparing thatched roofs ►n such a manner as not to be liable to danger from fire. The Saxon Government have had M.

DUEL.—Yesterday morning, at day-break, an " affair of honour" took place in a field near Notting Hill, between Capt. B-n and G. F. D-d, Esq. The principals, accompanied by their respective friends and a medical gentleman, arrived at the ground in hackney coaches. A dispute arose respecting the distance at which the gentlemen were to be placed, Captain B. insisting on having the usual ten paces, while Mr. D. desired to be placed at thirty paces, with the option of advancing within ten paces. The dispute was adjusted by lot, and the affair settled at ten paces. On the signal " fire !" being given, the Gallant Captain received his opponent's shot in his right shoulder and fell, his own pistol having missed fire. The ball was extracted on the spot, and the wound pro nounced to be severe, but not dangerous. Both parties then left the ground without having come to any " amicable arrangement." The cause of dispute was a bet made on the last " Derby." M. Mendelssohn Bartholdy paid a visit to the large organ in Christ-church, Newgate-street, yesterday morning, where a numerous and highly respectable band of amateurs had congregated to hear his performance. Some idea may be entertained ofithe inexhaustible powers of his genius from the fact that for nearly three hours he sat at the instrument, and during the time extemporised no less than six fantasias, besides executing some preludes and fugues of Sebastian Bach. Nearly every member of emi nence in the profession was in the church, and the vigour of his mind, the freedom and independence of his fingers and feet, and the inimitable ease with which be played, were themes of unmingled delight and gratification. His last attempt was grounded on a subject n which he requested the it he dis organist of the church t o played the readiest commagnid ov eve him, r a:1 all in treating the internal resources of the art. M. Mendelssohn is u nquestionably the most perfect organist who has visited this country. He expressed himself much pleased with the organ, and more particularly wtii the swell, where the double stop has a magnificent effect. Lord Rayleigh is making great improvements at the family seat in Essex, Terling-place, so many years the abode of his mother, the late Baroness. M. Hurel, the manager of the theatre of the Porte St. Martin, is at the same time tenant of a large portion of the adjoining house. At a loss how to accommodate some fifty-odd fair damsels, who appear as an Amazonian army, in his new spectacle La Guerre des &realties, he had con trived, by means of a partition, to construct a kind of green room for his amiable recruits on the landing-place in front of his apartenient. Madame Carbonnet, the owner of the house, has commenced an action against the manager, cal ling upon him to abate what she describes as an intolerable nuisance. The cause is likely to be decided in as few days. sPOL,TING INTELLIGENCE. CURRAGH MEETING.—SirranAr.

Besides the excellence of the ground, the numerous stands and refreshment booths have been much improved. The roads are in capital order. AQUATICS. Towne. REBATTA.—The nineteenth annual regatta for a new wherry, and other prizes, took place yesterday. Below bridge matches are invariably hardly contested, and the amount of subscription is generally greater than that raised for con tests above-bridge. The donors on this occasion were the ofi cers resident in the Tower, and the inhabitants in its vicinity, and the wager vas confined exclusively to six free watermen belonging to the 'Power-stairs, to row a sculler's wager. The assemblage was immense ; the craft was literally covered, as were the barges which had been moored off for the accomnr: dation of the subscribers. The match was in five heats, W. 1%! six - pairs of sculls ; and in consequence of some fouling wit!" occurred last season, it was ordered that, should any fouling take place by either the wagermen or their cutters, the heat should be considered a false one, and be started again, and that if it should a second time occur, that they should be thrown out of the wager. The following were the names and colours .of the competitors :—Henry Crouch, dark blue ; John Murgit royd, green ; Robert Ellem, red ; Job Johnson, yellow ; Au gustus Vans, light blue ; John Elliss, pink. The first h eat started at twelve o'clock, and that, and the three following,' occupied until five o'clock. At a quarter to seven, pink an d yellow started for the grand heat, the distance being to start from buoys off the Tower, row twice round the eel chain, and round the lower beacon facing St. Katharine's Dock, and The to the Tower to finish ; to go twice round each heat. Th,.e start was very excellent ; they were scull and scull, but p ins ' drew a length a-head, and rounded the first boat in advance' yellow then lay down to it. and rowed up to his bin thwart, and directly afterwards passed him, and won by a few lengths. COMMUTATION OF TITHES• Yesterday a numerous meeting of landowners and tithe payers resident in the parish of Tottenham, was held at the parish workhouse, pursuant to a notice which had been served on them by the authorized agents of the Rev. T. Newcome, Vicar of Tottenham, for the purpose of ma king an agreement for the general commutation of tithes within. the limits of the said parish, pursu an t t o th e provisions et an Act passed in the 6th and 7th years of the reign of his late Majesty, intituled " An Act for the Commutation of Tithes in England and \Vales." The CHAIRMAN said the object they had met to decide and ascertain was the Vicar's demand and what be was l e " gaily entitled to, and be hoped they would discuss it with impartiality and good feeling. The VICAR considered he had made them a most fair and equitable offer of commutation of his tithes—which, if n °t complied with, he should be obliged to resort to compul sory means. Mr. DEAN (one of the agents) read the report of the average of tithes between the years 1829 and 1835 : in the year 1829 they amounted to 9971. Its. 9d., and in the year 1835, 7901. 16s , showing a decrease between those two years of about 2001., but the average for the seven years had been 921/. 15s. 9d. ; and the demand of the vicar was, that he should be entitled to receive any sum between 9751. and 923/. per annum, as a fair and equitable conaa" tation of his tithes. Mr. RHODES contended the demand of the Vicar was unjust and extortionate. They had a line chalked out fo r them by an Act of Parliament, and he contended it would be acting in defiance of it to do so. The Rev. G. HODSON had read the Act of Parliamen t ' and though he would not wish to overule the superior judg went of the parishioners ; he considered common sen t ' would tell them, that it was necessary some mode should be adopted to make a new assessment of the land, stating w hieb was titheable and which was not. The TITHE COMMISSIONER said the Act stated that the assessment should be conducted by the Church wardens and Overseers, accompanied by a valuer, appointed by the Vicar , and another on the part of the land owners. Mr. TURNER considered the most equitable manner would be to appoint a Committee in conjunction with the Over seers and Churchwardens, to make the assessment ; and that the decision of the meeting should be deferred until they had made a report upon it, stating the actual amount the assessment would produce, and then decide upon the legality or illegality of the Vicar's claim. Mr. DEAN seconded the proposition. The CUAIRMAN said he thought the motion wa s the best one which could be adopted, and he had no doubt w ould meet with the concurrence of the Vicar. The VICAR having assented, the motion was pat a n a carried. na A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman a the Learned Tithe Commissioner, for the information he had afforded them, and the meeting then adjourned. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Yesterday the annual election for the admission of thirty five children into that most excellent institution , t he Licensed Victuallers' School, took place at the School, Kennington-lane. Never did we witness a more interest' ing scene than the proceedings on the occasion exhibited, The attendance of the friends of the various candidates wa g unusually great. There could not have been less tha° 3,000 persons present. B e f ore t h e b a ll ot commenc ed, an , d while it was proceedi ng w ith, l arge num b ers o f i n dividual s went through the institution, and all of them expressed themselves in terms of the warmest admiration of the in terior arrangements, as well as the exterior appearance' of the magnificent building. Nothing could excee d the animation of th e scene from ten till two o'clock, th e , period during w hi c h t h e b a ll ot i ng laste d .

Th e b a ll ot i ng was car ried on wlt t L i l i great spirit, th e var i ous gentlemen and ladies vying w each other in th e i r zea l for the different candidates on whose behalf they appeared. This was a most gratifyirff part of the spectacle, as every one was actuated by W' noblest motives in his efforts to obtain votes for th e parti cular orphans and other distressed children whose interests he sought to promote. A feeling of friendship and consi derations of humanity were the only stimulants to action p : Greater zeal could not have been manifested in p rocuring votes had the canvassers, instead of simply befriending help less orphans and the children of parents in decayed (..tircu!n .. - t s e ta re n s c t e s s . , been jta l l a e b c o l u o r s i e n g of t theo promote ballot, thet e i Governorown pecuniary and .. in terests. s in e i ititoeoel.prorcoomeeodieitihferomuotylise, er C omm ittee-room ti,eanxious to fr t ie h n e d s s p o si f ew th u e s velaerciotiuosn.candidates assembled to hear the result of the The SECRETARY having read the list, Mr. WELLS, the Governor, declared the first thirty-five children duly elected, and congratulated their parents a nd friends on their success. He could assure them that not r only would the children. rec eive the best education, but every attention would be paid to their comfort in all other respects. He hoped that thos e who had been unsuccessful ye ar, on the present occasion would be more fortunate next and that their parents and friend s wo uld have the happiness, of seeing them in a school which deserved to be considered as the first institution of the kind the country could boast of.—(Cheers.) Mr. WARD proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Wells' the Governor of the institution, for his most excellent conduct in his official capacity ; which was seconded by Mr. Hook, and carried amidst acclamations. Mr. WELLS returned thanks. Mr. Hoop proposed a vo t e o r t h an k s to the Trustee,' and Committee of th e I nst i tut i on, w hi c h was sec onded a n carried amidst great applause. Mr. PASiMORE returned thanks. Mr. WELLS proposed a vo t e o f th a nks to the SecretarY and Solicitor of the Institution. G ov ernor Mr. BLAKE returned thanks ; after which the adjourned the meeting.
