CpMMUN PLEAS.-(TIIIS DAY.) (Bcfol _.‘re the CHIEF JUSTICE and a Special Jury.) EASTIIOPE v. WESTMACOTT.—LIDEL. I,.‘i!r. Sergeant WILDE, Mr.. M. D. 1 - 11 . 1,L, and Mr. 11. 441 I t ; appeared for the plaintiff ; and Sir Wm. FOLLETT (•,..alt• KELLY for the defendant. wil4r. PERRY opened the pleadings, and Mr. Sergeant ILDE stated th e case. It w.,- 6 ; „,„"4 an action brought by Mr. John Easthopc, the F—a"; against Charles . Molloy IVestmacott, the de hfeifi,„dant ; and . the charge which the plaintiff' . brought against ta`gete'wraosfhtihseliaving published a libel reflecting on - the plaintiff. The The names of both the gentlemen were probably known to the Jury, Mr. Easthope being one the proprietors of the Morning Cliironick, and former! ) Pl'opa Stock-brOker in the city, and Mr. Westmacott being the rieto r of the Aqe newspaper. The action was brought Lo recover comperuation in damages for a libel published by the defendant in his newspaper ; and the part of the libel lilnPlaineil of, which formed the sole matter appearing 011 MO record, was not one of those attacks which the editors ',newsP4pers were in the course of making upon fuel, .E.(,),l.:t'setrh,ohpuet was one in which the defendant had pursued Mr. into his private transactions, and imputed to'llitri ;;?ndct grossly dishonourable, and sit - cii as must exclude 1111, fr o grossl y all honourable or respectable society, if true. 1. niertunatelv, now-a-days, there were some persons who il l . a whu ' it, hy, slande r and riboi—whose daily food and whose f',,, 1 . - existence was made out of attacks upon the nf I ,ngs, the interests, the honour, and the character eii4uldividuals. Whether the present was one of that .. s, it would be for the Jury to judge. One course 144°11 Y taken by persons of that description Was, that when, 'th e order to punish the libeller, an action was brought under .;:e for and fiction of a plea of justification to the libel, L. e defendant travelled into matter of a totally different cseription, and wholly unlike the libel, and having nothing I4lliccallincin with it as a justification, even if the matter „:eged it' the lwere true, that was done either ' oat the pea . and .. tralleous iitalrgteyir3c,omplaining might expose himself to an ex or, i from the real character of the libel itself ; f the party objected that that was no justification, tif.lat,it might be implied that be shrunk from some part 5. 4 ,. 1 ,ne attack made upon his character by the libeller. "u" Iv " the course that had been taken on the present ti t° libel imputed conduct of a certain &scrip wisi..to Mr. Easthope ; it was of that nature that no man s i t 4 .t," . tO preserve his character and respectability could „, quiet under. It was of that nature that the party, if ittg 4c Ying in respectable society, should demand an inyesti ou into the charge brought against him. Mr. East ,dintlirPee had brought his action for the purpose of giving M . , ,tt.Stniacott on opportunity, or those who might be behind with or inciting Mr. Westmacott to such a course, if a"pYausn,e.h there might be, or . if . Mr. Westmacott was acting t els own views, to give him an opportunity of coming w ° o r it w i a d r d in Court, and substantiating that charge, which t - throw the greatest disrepute and disgrace upon Mr. tq a3 r. l t x ,e, if substantiated. But, instead . of that, when : t ,_ t estmacott was charged with this libel, and challenged te tu i„ e u P r o . ef, he, under his plea, imputed a transaction of b ut "``,"Y different character—one not creditable, certainly, c " a totally different character. Mr. Easthope was e uns u an i 49 °fitly placed in the situation, either of going into . givatrY, of . something that formed no part of the ma irrq lib el —or if he demurred and said that the plea was i• :,,, 411 t and immaterial, andfurnished no defence, and that I:e7gat not to be gone into —and that even if true it would it - „,'"n(I to be no defence—if the plaintiff took that course lu g " nl d be found that in the Age newspaper of the follow aatSunelay it would be asserted that although the plaintiff 11,,,.tnet the first charge, the defendant had made another h w en ' Which the plaintiff shrunk. Mr. Easthope had ow . i n .giv en Mr. Westmacott the opportunity to make the tabliqeveliaryt,t,erafethearrtghee, action had been brought, not only . in . to but that which the defendant had origin ,,t':'i "un shed. He had given Mr. Westmacott the oppor -11:P44Y to do that which lie ought to do, unless his feelings ill%dievolence were stronger than his love of justice—he g i u 'eli him an opportunity, if he had been hasty, and % et in d naent of imprudence under false representations in reanen,,an injury, to retract it in a fair, open, and ' manly very '. 1. • But the present plea of justification stool on a 4ii, different footing from the original libel. An excuse h ag u t, he made for a statement made through inadvertence, tn i s t l axei or misapprehension, but a plea was always the re biad_nf deliberate consideration after inquiry . .had been ~ ", after legal advise had been obtained, and the a eans _, , _ MI I °l defence ascertained—it settled the point of wll et ler the defendant was a determined libeller, or jiether he sought to repair an injury inflicted in ollstiurnguarded moment. Mr. Westmacott had sought d to t ra - n Y the present libel, but in so doing he had imputed fir, of a totally different character to the plaintiff. th e '' 1-Casth did not shrink from the charge.

Upon , bond e4lt kel for '") 250/ was given up by Mr. 'ed--certain - notes ' also held by Mr. Allen were given up and cancelled, and the whole transaction was completed. In the month of April, 15:34, Mr. Alice said to Mr. Easthope, " You are now in a condition to pay me any demand I have upon you arising out of these part nership accounts, and I think you ought to go into them." Mr. Easthope replied that he had paid sum of money to avoid that.. Mt. Allen persisted in making the demand- while Mr. Easthope declined to accede to it, upon which Mr. Allen applied to the Corn mittte of the Stock Exchange, there bin a tothmittee which looked into transactions C . ritiCdea with bargains made upon that Exchange, and which Committee bad no nil authority, and could with as little propriety go into trans- actions between man and wife, because they roal1;' authority at all. Some feeling led the Committee entertain the question, atta they expressed an opinioi that Mr. Easthope ought to go into the partnershi l accounts. That opinion he (Mr. Uergeant Wilde) woult express his amazement and utter astonishment at. Mr. Easthope said, that if they so decided, although they had no jurisdiction, he would permit any merchants or bankers that might be appointed to go into the accounts, but he objected to the Committee of the Stock Exchange seein g the book s . Th e C ommittee thought that a rude defiance of their authority, and several merchants and bankers whom he consulted had advised him net to show the books. He apprehended that any brotter who submitted his bookS for public inspection btoke through a very high obligation, and ought not t 43 be considered a man of honour, and if he ought not to disclose these matters voluntarily how much less ought he to do so for his own interest. Mr. Easthope said " Let Mr. Allen say what sum he requires of me ; Mr. Allen claims a balance of 4,500/. of me, there's a cheque for the money." And thus Mr. Easthope paid the last farthing, which neither in honour nor in law he was obliged to pay, sooner. than expose his books. He (Mr. Sergeant Wilde) was in a condition to prove these transactions and the payment of these sums of money. These were the facts which he had stated shortly, omitting many particulars which were calculated to confirm them. What his Learned Friend's instructions might be, he did not know, but he had stated the case as it really stood. Sir \V. FOLLETT—After what had been stated by his Lordship and his Learned Friend he thought it right not further to occupy the time of the Court or Jury. He begged to be allowed to state the circumstances under which the libel was published. It appeared from the statement of his Learned Friend, that certain transactions had taken place between Mr. Easthope and his partner. That Mr. Allen had made a claim, and that Mr. Easthope had de nied his liability. That the matter had been referred to the Committee. of the Stock Exchange, and that the Com mittee had decided that the accounts should be gone into, and then the balance claimed had been paid by Mr. East hope to Mr. Allen. The consequence undoubtedly was, and his Learned Friend, he was sure, would accede to that statement, that there were certain rumours afloat. Mr. Westmacott had published the address to the electors of Lewes while labouring under a personal irritation—the conductors of the Morning Chronicle having made a personal attack upon him. The article was published in his newspaper, where several addresses of the same sort appeared, sup posed to be from the candidates themselves. In that address Mr. Westmacott certainly did represent the 'trans action as his Learned Friend had stated—he had sup posed a defaulter imploring his friend to lend him a sum of money, and then refusing to pay it. It was certainly due to Mr. Easthope to say, that Mr. Westmacott on inquiry had ascertained that the charge was without any foundation, and he believed that the statement made by his learned friend was a correct account of it. The article was pub lished under personal irritation, and when Mr. Westmacott was labouri ng under a m i sconcept i on. M r. Westmacott was satisfied , from investigation, that the charge was wholly and entirely without foundation, and that the statement of his Learned Friend, was a correct account of the trans action. lad no Mr. Sergeant WILDE begged to say, that if any attack had been made in the Morning Chronicle, it was without Mr. Easthope's knowledge or authority—he wholly disa vowed it, and if such an attack had been made he would be the first person to disapprove of it. The CHIEF JUSTICE—This is by far the best termina tion of the matter. tf • A verdict for the plaintiff for 40s. was then taken hymn. sent, and the Court rose. We regret to find the members of the Press making war against each other after this fashion. Whatever may be the political differences of our brethren of the broad sheet, they should not be carried into a Court of Justice, where the public do not enter into their feelings, and are but too apt to misconstrue their motives. CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Before Mr. Baron BOLLAND, Mr. Justice BosANQuET and Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) CHARGE OF RAPE.—George Benton, a labourer, aged 18, was capitally indicted with feloniously knowing and abusing Emily Anne Wickham, a child under five years of age. The principal points in the evidence are totally unfit for publication. Mr. PAYNE appeared as Counsel for the prisoner, and addressed the Jury at considerable length, observing that the crime imputed to the prisoner was one of the few which the wisdom of the Legislature had enacted should still be punished with death. Such being the case, he trusted the Jury would be very cautious before they returned a verdict which would consign the boy at the Bar to an ignominious death. The evidence in the case went to prove that the child and the accused had always been on friendly terms ; that he had treated her most kindly, and was in the habit of giving her apples and sweetmeats. The mother of the child, from the prisoner's kindness to her, had had no sus picion of him. I\t. Baron BOLLAND, in summing up, told the Jury that the evidence not being sufficient to support the capital charge, their duty would be to consider, as they had the power to do under the new law, whether the prisoner had been guilty of the minor offence of assaulting with intent, &c. The Jury, after a short consultation, acquitted the pri soner. Joseph Rogers, aged twenty-three, a cabman, was in dicted with Noniously harbouring and maintaining Robert Wicker, a convicted felon, well knowing him to have com mitted a felony. Upon the prisoner being arraigned in the morning, he pleaded not guilty ; but upon being placed at the bar to take his trial, he expressed a desire to retract that plea, and plead guilty. Mr. JUAiee BosANQuET asked the prisoner whether be acted advisedly in retracting his plea ? The prisoner said he did, as he was not aware, till he had been informed by his legal adviser, of the consequenecs of pleading not guilty, if he was convicted. Mr. Justice IiosANQUET observed that the prisoner must notgo away with the notion that in pleading guilty any favour would be shown to him. He should look into the depositions, and order that punishment which he thought the case deserved. Mr. DOANE, on behulfof the prisoner, wished to state to the Court that he was totally unaware that Wicker had been convicted of horse-stealing. When he ascertained that fact he instantly gave information where Wicker was to be found. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET ordered the plea of Guilty to be recorded. Richard Hall, a labourer, aged 20, was convicted o: stealing 11 sovereigns, one half-sovereign, and several ar ticles of wearing apparel, the property of Richard Collins, in his dwelling-house. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Mary English, 24, and Honora Prendergast, 28, were indicted, the former for stealing, on the 12th of September, in the parish of St. George, Hanover-square, two coats, one pair of trousers, and other articles, value .51., the pro perty of Henry Humphrey ; and th e l atter w i t h rece i ving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. It appeared that the prosecutor had lodged at a public house in Queen-street, Grosvenor-square, where English was in service ; and while he was absent on business, she took the clothes from his trunk, and gave them to the other prisoner, who was identified by the pawnbroker as having pawned the property. . . The jury found English guilty, and acquitted Prendergast. Jane Green was indicted for stealing, on the 4th Sep tember, one sheet, value 45., and a child's frock, the pro perty of William Weller. The property was hung out on a line to dry ; it was traced to a pawnbroker's shop ; and it was proved to have been pawned by the prisoner. Guilty. Frederick Martin and Wm. .7ardine were indicted for stealing on the 23d September, at the parish of Hayes, a pair of breeches, a shirt, and other property belonging to Geo. Deverill. The prosecutor deposed that on his road from London, he went into a public-house ; he went to speak to the ostler, and left the bundle containing the things named on the seat where the prisoners were sitting. When he re turned his parcel was gone ; he followed them to a house 200 yards off, where he found them and the bundle. They were both very drunk. Cross-examined by Mr. PAYNE.—When he claimed the bundle, they said, if it is yours, you may have it ; he got it, and they took it from him again ; it was done several times, and it appeared to be a lurk. He drank with them after he got the bundle, and was going away, when the woman who kept the beer-shop where they were, said, " no one shall go out of this house till the constable comes." He came, and the prisoners were given into custody. Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury for the prisoner Martin, and characterised the whole affair as a drunken lark. Verdict—Not Guilty. P 1114.! SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOI3ER 25, 18 ;7 AMERICAN AFFAIRS SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. COURT CIRCULAR THE QUEEN. E QUEEN'S VISIT TO THE CITY The preparations on the line of road which our youthful Queen will pass along to the City banquet have already • commenced with great spirit. At Guildhall a strong frame work for the triumphal arch was reared yesterday in a few hours, as though by magic. The skeleton of a gallery was raised in St. Paul's Churchyard ; and lastly, of the City work, the old gates at Temple-bar underwent a hammering and nailing up, which they have not had for some years, and which they will not be anxious to undergo for some time to come, or they will ultimately have to appear as old friends with new faces ; what with the new timber and the fresh paint, they have already undergone a metomorphosis which, but for the well-known standing they have got, would render them unknown even to the Turnham-green " buss"- men, who have passed them almost hourly for the last ten years. Above the gates on the north side, although so long before the time of the festival, a platform from which the curious can view the certainly most interest ing part of the pageant, viz., the approach of her Ma jesty, and the subsequent admission and tendering of the keys, was also raised ; the seats are covered with carpeting, and above is a timber ceiling, with tarpaulin ; each f ron t w ill b e adorned with festoons, corresponding with the general arrangements. The public at large are " beautifying and adorning" their pre mises out of the prospective profits by letting their apart ments, and some show strong symptoms of making dan gerous erections on the tops of their houses. The City authorities were on the alert, and by timely notice prevented either loss or just grounds of disappointment, by prohibit ing certain erections in the City ; but those evidently con templated in Westminster are such as would make acci dents more appalling. The authoritics ought to look to this before it is too late. Seats on the line of road vary, but very few ask exorbitant prices. First floors in Cheupside, with accommodation'for eighteen persons, fetch '2O guineas readily. CITY FESTIVAL—Her Majesty's Throne on this occa sion is precisely the height of that at the Royal Palace, and is made agreeably to its pattern. It will be placed on an elevated platform, from which the Queen will have a distinct view of the numerous assemblage of persons, and be seen by the whole company. The guests at the Queen's table will be the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge, the Duchess of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester, the Princess Sophia of Gloucester, and the Princess Augusta, who is expected to arrive from Hastings for the purpose. A specimen of the way in which Parliament is de ceived, when calling for Returns from the Clergy, is dis played in the amount given as the annual value of the Do native curacy of Breamore, Hants, diocese of Winchester. In the Parliamentary Return the annual value is stated at 540/., and not in chagre for first fruits or tenths. The ad vowson is advertised for sale, and the living' stated to be 760/. annual value. The useful Parliamentary paper ' Ecclesiastical Benefices, No. 439," should be in the hand of every person.. Lord Carrington left town this morning, for Dale Park, near Petworth. Lord Granville is on the point of returning- to England, to spend about two months lwre ; and Mr. Ash ton, during his absence, will assume the post of Charge 'A Ira ires of the English Government. Lord Sefton's health is gradually improving. Mr. Charles and Lady Caroline Townley left Arlington -street yesterday, on a visit to the Noble Earl, at Brighton. The Duke and Duchess of Buccleuch have arrived at Drunilanrig Castle, Dumfrieshire, from Perthshire. His Grace and visitors, and also the Marquis of Twcedale, the Earl of Selkirk, attended the Agricultural dinner at Dumfries. Lord Suffolk, who was among the Marquis o: Lansdowne's visitors to meet the Ministers at Bowood, re• turned to his residence at Charlton-house, near Devizes, et Saturday last. The Marquis of Hastings intends to hunt the country near lionnington Park, Ashby de la Zouch, three days in the week. The Noble Marquis liberally gave a grant of land for the site of the new church now building at Ashby. The Duke and Duchess of Richmond are entertain. ing the Earl of Aberdeen, Viscount and Viscountess Can ning, Lord and Lady Saltoun, Hon. Capt. Gordon, M.P., Earl Bathurst, Lords A. and H. Lennox, and a very nu merous party at Gordon Castle. 'PROPERTY SENT THROUGH TR E TWOPENNY -Amongst other Parliamentary returns, exhibiting a ;Teat amount of property demanded from the Post-office, in London, Edinburgh, or Dublin, as undelivered, we find one containing a list of property applied for In this way at the London twopenny post-office. Besides every variety of British money, bills of exchange, bank notes. acceptances, drafts, &c., we find some singular articles for transmit through the Post-office, no doubt so sent because that medium is supposed to offer the cheapest mode for the conveyance of property, any weight not exceeding 4oz. be ing charged as a single letter. For example—half a so vereign and a muslin handkerchief, a sovereign and black riband, jewellery, 4s. 6d. and a muslin collar, 2} yards of black lace, a pair of gold-mounted ear-rings, 3,256 francs (valued at 135/. 12s. 6(1.), copy of a lease, a gold locket, a white handkerchief, an Opera ticket, 10s. and a needle case, a pair of gloves, a metal ring, three dozen birds' eyes, a policy of insurance, a gold brooch, a silk cap, Regent's canal shares, bill of lading, a power of attorney, a blue purse with silver ornaments, two reform medals, a muslin apron, tickets for St. Paul's, a gold ring, and a will, gold lace, stock re ceipts, two pair of gloves. If such be the articles de mended, what a medley must there be of articles never in quired after, sent to parties " not to be found !" Indeed, the Post-office must have in its receptacles for unowned property, enclosed in unclaimed letters, a complete stock for the pawnbroker. • The Belgian papers state that the railroads in that country are begun to be lighted, which is partly accom plished by the fires from the engines, and partly from the watchfires and lanterns carried by the cantonniers, gate keepers, and watchmen. The heavy rain which began falling on Monday night will prove most serviceable to the farmers in forwarding the important operation of wheat-sowing.

Despatches, dated the 17th inst., were received yesterday, from the British Ambassador at Lisbon. Despatches were forwarded yesterday from Downing• street, for Lord Melbourne, at Brighton. BRIGHTON, OCT. 24.—Her Majesty returned to the Pavilion from her excursion yesterday, at half -past four o'clock in the afternoon. Monsieur de Dedel, the Dutch Ambassador, arrived at the Pavilion last night, and was immediately honoured with an audience by her Majesty. He had also the ho nour of forming one of the royal dinner party in the evening. In addition to her Majesty's suite, the Royal dinner party of last night comprised the following distinguished individuals :--Lord Melbourne, Lord Palmerston, Baron Stockmar, Admiral Sir Graham and Lady Moore, and Monsieur de Dedel. The band of the Gth Dragoons Guards was in attendance during dinner. The weather this day has been so very unpropitious that her Majesty has not quitted the Pavilion. It never ceased raining for a moment the whole day. An object which attracted considerable attention, upon her Majesty's visit to the pier, was the splendid pier vase which was presented to Captain Brown, R.N,, by the Commissioners, inhabitants, and visitors of Brighton, when the pier was opened in November, 1823. The cover is surmounted by a figure of Britannia ; the first belt con tains the inscription encircled with chain cables, invented and introduced into the King's service, by Captain Brown, in 1810. The handles of the vase are formed by two im proved anchors expressly adopted for the use of chain ca bles. Round the body of the vase is a perspective view of the chain pier in the finest workmanship. The vase is supported by a tripod of dolphins—the ancient Brighton arms. The vase holds three imperial gallons, weighs 360 ounces, and cost 3501. The inscription runs as follows: " Presented to Captain Samuel Brown, R.N., by the Com missioners, inhabitants, and visitors of Brighton —the testi mony of his public spirit displayed in the construction o the chain pier." COWES-ISLE OF WIGHT. Captain the Hon. Dudley IV. A.

It is calculated that after the opening of the Southampton Railway a person may make a trip to the Isle of Wight and back again for twenty shillings, and, in one day, that full one thousand persons will land at Cowes on a Saturday during the summer months from the great metropolis. The passage from Southampton to Cowes is expected to be made for sixpence on account of the groat numbers that will go into the island by that route. Cowes, Oct. 24, 1837. (Fusther Extracts from the New York and Quebec papers, received to the 3d inst., inclusive.) WAR IN FLORIDA. (From the Se. Auyusting Herald, Sept. 15.) IMPORTANT CAPTURE --PHILIP Af VFIIEE BILLY TAKEN-- DEATH OF LIEUTENANT WS :ILL We hate the gratification of announcing to our rendera the capture of the nOted Indian Chiefs, Philip and Uchec Billy, together with several warriors, squaws, and children, by the forces under General Hernandez, on Saturday and Sunday last. The Ithele number captured amounts to 35, who were brOght into town yesterday, accompanied by the whole battalion. INDIAN TREATY.—On Friday last the treaty entered into between the Secretary of War for the United States and the deputation of Sioux Indians ts-as signed at Wash ington by the contracting parties. While the Indians were standing around the Secretary, before signing the treaty, several of them addressed him with great earnestness, begging that they might be paid in dollars and half-dollars, and no other kind of money ; that their white missionary might be permitted to remain among them, and that their father the President, to whom they have given the signi ficant cognomen of the " Little Fox," would be pleased to send among them a fair dealer to trade with them. They complained of the impositions which the traders had previously practised upon them, and hoped to be freed from their exactions. They hoped that the great father and his people would hold fast the bonds of peace ; and, after each of the Chiefs had taken hold of the pen as directed, they concluded the treaty, shook hands with the Secretary and every one upon the platform, and then left the church. COUNTERFEITS.—W C learn that counterfeit notes on the Bank of Virginia arc in circulation in this city. They consist of 10 dols. of the Petersburg Branch, dated July, 1832, payable to John F. May, and signed by J. Brock enbrough, president, and W. Dandridge, cashier. It will be remembered that Mr. Dandridge has not been cashier for many years. Also 5 dols. of the Lynchburgh Branch, payable to Norvell, and signed by J. Brockenbrough, president, and W. Dandridge, cashier, dated in 1819 ; and S dols. of the Charleston Branch, signed by J. Brockeii brough, president, and A. Robinson, cashier—the latter without numbers or letters, and well executed.—Richmond Whig. COUNTERFEIT BILLS.—John Mitchell Livingston was last Saturday evening arrested for having uttered two counterfeit 10 dol. bills on the Bank of Pensylvania. The counterfeits in question are payable to the order of H. Clay, dated April 16, 1833, signed by J. Trotter, cashier, and Joseph Norris, president. On the evening mentioned, Livingston called at the store of Mr. Michael Madigan, No. 83, West-street, and tendered one of the two bills in payment for a hat which he there purchased. Livingston exhibited a third bill on a Baltimore bank (believed to be also a forgery), which he threw away while on his road to the watchhouse. BANK OF THE UNITED STATES.—It is stated that Mr. May Humphreys has been appointed agent to reside at Liverpool. It is in contemplation to send an agent to France. No selection, however, has yet been made for this appointment. These arrangements must prove very advantageous to the banks, in every point of view, and will save them a large amount of money which they now ex pend in the shape of commissions to the Barings, of Lon don, and Hottinguer and Co., of Paris.—Philadelphia Commercial Herald. GOLD IN VIRGINIA.—The Fredericksburg Arena of the 26th says—" We were shown last week twelve bars of gold, weighing 1,800 dwts., and of the value of about 1,900 dollars, the result of the last month's work at the Culpepper Mine, with a very moderate force. NEWSPAPERS.—There are about 1,200 newspapers established in the United States, from which arc issued, at a moderate calculation, 100,000,000 printed sheets annu ally, which, if in one continuous sheet, would reach four times from pole to pole, and, if embodied in a book form, would be equal to issuing six volumes as large as the Bible every minute in the year. The yellow fever is really in Natchez. By passengers on board the steamer Atalanta, arrived this morning, we learn the deaths from the disease are from 10 to 14 daily— no great mortality for a place like Natchez.—Picayune, Sept. 21. The fever, we arc told by physicians, is declining ra pidly. The new cases have decreased very much in num ber; the disease does not appear to assume the malignant type which is usual as the season advances ; most of the attacks are of a mild character, and yield to gentle reme dies.—New Orleans Paper, Sept. 24. STEAMER NEW ENGLAND SUNK.—The steamer, New England, when four miles below Gardiner, Maine, on Fri day afternoon last, on her passage to Boston, struck a rock on Bailey's Point, and filled. Passengers, crew, freight, and baggage saved. TEXAS.—The Texas Telegraph of the 22d ult. states, that a young man, named Jackson M. Parker, had been killed by the Indians near the Neuces, and that a large party of the Camanches were laying waste the whole country for many miles west of Rio Grande. Nearly all the wealthy Mexicans were removing with their families to Zacatecas, fearing the approach of the Texian army. Mr. Buchanan, of the firm of Hensley and Buchanan, had also been killed by the Indians, near the Sevilla. It appears that this gen tleman and Mr. Hensley went out to catch their horses, and, while thus occupied, were assailed by 15 or 21 In dians. Mr. Buchanan was instantly shot down. Mr. Hensley fortunately made his escape, after revenging the death of his partner by shooting down at his side one of the foremost of the murderers. Two men, supposed to be Messrs. Ross and Stevens, have been found murdered and scalped near Goliad. They had fallen probably under the hands of the Tipans, as a party of those Indians had long infested that neighbourhood. Governor Houston has issued a proclamation, calling to gether on Monday, the 25th ult., the senators and repre sentatives at Houston, for purposes connected with the boundary question. PERNAMBUCO, AUG 15.—Since the accounts have been received here of the bad state of things in England, little has been done in the shipping of produce, and the remit tances have been chiefly made in specie ; the late packets from Rio to England, which at this time of the year call here, also the vessels to Liverpool, have taken a great deal of silver and gold. Notwithstanding the great demand . there has been for silver, the premium has risen but little above what it has been at for a long time ; say 1 400 for dollars, the price is 1 529 for Mexican dollars, and 1 580 for Spanish ones ; and still there continues to be a great demand, but when the sugar crop conies in there will be a demand for it in the European markets. QUEBEC, SEPT. 2G.—Various rumours were yesterday afloat in this city, after the arrival of the mail from the Lower Provinces, respecting the movements of the militia of Maine on the disputed territory, to enforce a settlement of the boundary question, and effect the release of Greely, who, having returned to Madawaska, has been arrested, and at the latest dates from Fredericton was a prisoner in the gaol of that city. Some reports went so far as to as sert that the Maine militia had actually entered the Mada waska settlement, and that a collision having actually fakes) place between them and the troops of her Majesty, the Lieutenant-Governor had proceeded to the scat of war to repel the invasion. Such arc the various reports which have been in circulation. We believe, and on good ! grounds, that at the latest dates matters stood thus : Greely had been arrested, and was in limbo at Fredericton ; the Governor of the State of Maine had threatened to send another agent, supported by a military force, to complete the census, in the making of which Greely had been inter rupted ; that two companies of the 43d Light Infantry had been sent from Fredericton, the one to Woodstock, the other to the Grand Falls, to be in readiness to act if re quired ; and that a company of the same regiment had, con sequently, been sent from St. John's to the seat of Govern ment ; and his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor, with the Hon. Lady Harvey and their daughter, Miss Harvey, were about to proceed to the Grand Falls on a visit to Sir John Caldwell. These movements arc mentioned in letters from wellsinformed persons in Fredericton, dated the 16th of September, also in a letter dated the Grand Falls, and we give them to our readers as the most correct informa tion which has reached our city. otl ? The packets at Fahnouth have within the last fort-. night occasionally gone out of harbour for the purpose of exercising the crews in naval gunnery, This is said to have been ordered in consequence of the appearance of formidable piratical vessels in the West Indian seas and the Gulf of Mexico, preteading to sail under the flag of the Texian Government, They have captured several vessels and sent them into Matagorda and Galveston, where they have been held for ransom or gutted of their contents. The Eliza, a British vessel from Liverpool, bound to Cam peachy, was captured under the pretence of having Mexi can property on board.—Devonport Telegraph. At a late hour on Sunday night, a man whose name has since been ascertainsd to be Richard Brown, a journeyman baker, was discovered by the police lying ex tended on the footway pavement in Holywell-lane, Shore ditch, in a complete state of insensibility. He was removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where it was discovered that he had received two blows on the top of his head, which must have been inflicted with tremendous force with some blunt heavy instrument, such as an iron bar. He has since continued in a state of stupor, and is not expected to recover. A RADICAL'S REASON FOR OBJECTING TO A CONSERVATIVE'S VOTE.—On Saturday last, in the Re vising Barrister's Court at Sutton Coldfield, Mr. Solomon Bray, when asked why he objected to the vote of a Con servative landlord, gave as his reason that the landlord treated his tenant at the rent day to two bottiof; of port ! It is a foul and scandalous libel upon eight millions of British citizens to assert that those laws and insti tutions which " uphold peace and order," and " con stitute social comfort among. men, and render existence tolerable," are maintained in Ireland, any more than in Ea g ,',snd, by armed force. The assertion is as false as the source h r .rom which it proceeds is infamous. It is absurdity and inius:ice alone that in any country in the world require the bays:net to support them. We said that the Established Churcia in Ireland " is sup ported by the bayonet," because, in its present condi tion, it wants the supports of reason and justice. t is precisely because it is not, in its present form and dimensions, an institution that " upholds order, con stitutes social comfort, and makes existence tolerable," but diametrically the opposite of such an institution— it is precisely for this reason that we are forced to keep on foot a special standing army of some fifreeen thousand men to sustain it against the universal sense and feeling of the country. The English Church, surrounded by the affections of a numerous body of the people, exists with out protection from the Horse-Guards. The Scottish Church, entrenched behind ins popular character and usefulness, would not be in the s;ightest degree endangered were every soldier in the ?Me cashiered to-morrow. The foundations of both of these establishments are broad and national, and hence we see their altars secure without artillery, and the reve nues of their Ministers collected without the sabre. Suppose the high privileges and splendid endowments of the Established Church in England violently trans ferred to one of the numerous sects of which the great body of English Dissenters is made up, a sect counting, we shall say, only a million of followers -we suspect the bayonet would be a convenience to the new establishment; we suspec!. its Ministers would have reason to bless Heaven for the fi:vention of gun powder ; we know very little of the Englisb charac ter and spirit if we are net the very last nation on the face of the globe who would submit for one hour to the system which we tax ourselves enormously to sup port in Ireland, for no other object—certainly with no other effect—than to murder the repose of our fellow subjects, and place a permanent and impassable ob stacle before the march of the Protestant religion. Imagine Saint Paul's gorgeous structure turned upside-down—its vast foundations in mid air— its sole basis the square foot of pavement on which you may fancy the ball to rest—and you have a just figure of the absurd and perilous situation of the Church in Ireland, resting (if such a position can rest be called) upon scarce a decimal of the people. The conveniency, as a place of worship, of the in verted cathedral, is a perfect image of the national utility of the establishment in question ; while in the comfort and security which we may suppose to reign amongst the inhabitants of St. Paul's Church-yard, with that stupendous pile of masonry nodding and swinging over their heads, you see, not inaptly illus trated, the easy condition of the Irish people under the shadow of an institution in which they see nothing but a glaring absurdity and a great oppression. The bayonet alone can sustain such an institution ; the bayonet alone can support an establishment so utterly anti-national—a Church that exists neither " in the people, or with the people, or for the people," but without the people and against the people—a Church from which, not the mere majority, but the vast bulk of the population derive no more advantage, temporal or spiritual, than they do from the muftis of Turkey, or the Priests of Juggernaut. The Irish people are not Protestants, but Catholics. The population of Ireland is divided as follows: Roman Catholics.. Members of the Established Church 852,064 Presbyterians, &c 664,164 Putting the Roman Catholic population altogether out of the question, time Church in Ireland would have no more than a bare majority of the Protestant popu lation within its pale, and could not with any propriety be called a National Establishment. We hear a great deal of Protestant Ulster, the Protestant North, and so forth. We dare say many Englishmen labour under the delusion that in that part of Ireland, at least, the Established Church embraces an over whelming majority of the people. Now what are the facts ? The population of the ecclesiastical province of Armagh is thus classified in the last census : Roman Catholics 1,9.55,123 Members of the Established Church 517,722 Presbyterians, &c Thus, in the most Protestant part of Ireland, the very head-quarters of Protestantism, the members of the Establishmeut are little more than a fourth of the Catholic population ; nay, - more, they are in a mino rity of nearly 150,000 as compared with the Presbyte• rians and other Protestant Dissenters. The Presby terians alone amount to 638,073, exceeding the members of the Established Church by more than 120,000. We find even in the province of Armagh no fewer than 131 parishes, each containing lsss than fifty members of the Establishment, and 29 parishes without so much as a solitary old woman to mutter the responses after the parson. Now, when we add that to maintain the Church of this diminutive mino rity, its priesthood arc endowed with a revenue of 800,000/. per annum, and possess domains to the vast extent of nearly 800,000 acres, is it marvellous that we have to add to the naked burden of the institution he expense of maintaining fifteen thousand bayonets o perform the office which iu England and Scot ' 's performed by public opinion and popular affec- Who, then, are the friends of this Establish ncnt, and who are its enemies ? There is evidently Jut one way of manifesting friendship towards it, by reducing, by modifying, by reforming it. Reform it liberally, substantially, and, above all, speedily. The undertaking may be difficult, but it is worth a trial ; for there is certainly no other way of preserving the fabric from total do wnfal. Flagrantly disproportioned as it is to the numbers of its members and the re sources of the country—utterly destitute as it is of all support of a moral nature—answering no purpose, po litical or religious, on which a Church Establishment has ever been advocated—commanding no general respect, homage, or affection ; but, on the contrary, challenging the utmost degree of popular hostility ; :ievcr,•certainly, was an institution in a position of so much danger; never, certainly, were the friends o f a ,: institution so imperiously called upon to bestir thesnselves in its cause, and by timely reform avert total ruins We said so me t ime s i nce t h at " there was no such thing in strict Constitutional parlance as an Irish question." The Standard ac cuses us of a departure front this principle in a late article upon the present subject, and asks " what ground there is for separating Irelm:!1 from England in this matter ?" We make no such separation ; on the contrary, there is no question in which we hold the interests of the two islands to be so closely arssl in dissolubly bound up to ge th er . W e k no w no • question more emphatically British than that of the Reform of the Church in Ireland, and it is solely for its Re form that we contend. If the peace and welfare of a third of the empire and the honour and advancement of the Protestant religion are British questions, as suredly Irish Church Reform deserves the appellation. However, as our Contemporary, considers the opinion* of Mr. Hallam "nonsense," it is little surprising that he should have misapprehended the object with which we quoted them.—Morning chronicle. Lord Durham's speech at the late meeting of his toadeaters, if not an able exhibition, was at least a curious one. It was a speech which did not confine its disclosures to those points which the speaker was ostensibly desirous to bring in a prominent manner before the public eye. His Lordship did, it must be admitted, state broadly enough, and with a view to a certain purpose, his anxiety for some formidable changes in the ancient law of the country, affecting the relation between the upper and lower classes of Englishmen. He declared himself for short Parlia ments, household suffrage, and the ballot ; and this answered extremely well for the Radical gobemouches of Durham, who had, it seems, relaxed in their alle giance to the Noble Lord, from suspecting him of some slight tendency to incline towards moderate and sound 4inions. But the Noble Earl, in his eager ness to display one object, left open to public detec tion others which he would gladly have concealed. He forgot that, while stating principles, he was actually recording pledges against himself and his own fu ture free agency. He forgot that, while strength- FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE CHANGES.
