W e may not, perhaps, have had our atten t.oll called so strikingly to such celebrations in times Past, but t h e reason is obvious. - While the Catholics Were a proscribed sect they were obliged, as the Dis senters %were und er s i m il ar c i rcumstances , to b u ild theu- ch ape l s how and where they could, and it was theiri., poli c y to a vo id t h e public gaze as much as possible. laPpily for the interests of true religion, as well as thes e th e peac e o f t h e country, that i s no longer t h e case . _ pre caut i ons are now no longer necessary. N o religious sect need hold down its head, or conceal its Proceedings, for fear of the legal consequences, now that the law has acknowledged the principle of uni versal tol erat i on—that great principle which runs ,throughout th e Christian system, and the neglect of w hich ha s pro d uced evils infinite in number, and in calculable in maanitude- Why th en s h ou ld t h e C at h ol i cs s k u lk i n secrecy ? W I e Say, let th em come f ort h an d s h ow t h emse l ves . Let th em use all the means that they possess to ad v -La nce th e i nterests of their religion and to propagate a belief of it.

This were to say, "we put down the catholic religion by the power of the secular arm ; we n ave k ept i t down by the same means, and now that thatl power is withdrawn, our only stay is gone. `Ve have no faith in the boast which we have been Const antlymaking of the truth of our religion, and no h ope that it will prevail, or even stand its ground, if it be left to be defended by reason and Scripture alone." If, the n , the Catholic religion is. making proselytes, let the ministers of the Protestant religion look to it. They are th e we ll- pa id g uar di ans o f th e n ational faith, a," it is thei r b us i ness t o en li g ht en the minds of the v e nple, and fortify them against the approach of error in every f orm.

Nevertheless, we entertain very ‘tlnfident hopes of its success. ti V iscount WALSH, editor of La Mode, has been ent enced to a month's imprisonment and a fine of 500 fra ncs, for publishing a portrait of the Duke of Bon t-4111 in that Journal. 4 Preparations for the marriage of the Princess l ikRY and Duke ALEXANDER Of WURTEMBURG, ‘ ll ' the 14th inst., are in progress.

The Pretender, continuing to flee by steep paths, has crossed the Duero to effect his junction with Zaratieigui ; he was on the 27th beyond Aranda, closely followed by Espartero. The Commandant Bonnett, of the moveable Arragonese column, has pursued General Moreno, taken the Chief Rena, 50 Carlists, and 200 muskets ; the re mainder have joined Cabrera, who re-entered Cantaviejo on the 27th, with 2,000 men. Oraa was at Teruel. " Guergue continues to threaten the villages on the frontier.' We have no additional news of any interest from the Peninsula this morning, save an account of the safe arrival of Colonel Lacy and his two companions in the Spanish capital on the 27th ult. They had suf fered a great deal from the Carlists, and very narrowly escaped with their lives. Had they not been released it was the intention of Mr. VILLIERS to have de manded their liberation in the name of the British Government, and to have threatened hostilities in the event of a refusal on the part of the Pretender. The number of suicides in Paris becomes multiplied in a frightful degree. On Saturday evening a man precipi tated himself into the Seine from the Pont d'Austerlitz, and all the efforts made to save him proved of no avail ; and on Tuesday a young and beautiful woman, handsomely dressed, was observed near that part of the Pont Louis Philippe leading from the Isle St. Louis to the Quai de la Greve. She appeared to have given herself up to the most violent grief. Her eyes were streaming with tears, and her cheeks inflamed with weeping. Suddenly she mounted the parapet, and threw herself into the river. A number of boatmen having, however, put bff to her assistance, they succeeded in rescuing her from a watery grave, and removed her without delay to the Hotel Dieu.—French paper. The Northern Meeting this season was the most gay and spirited that has been witnessed in Inverness ft r ten years. The nobility and gentry were anxious to infuse new life into a festival once looked forward to with great anxiety as a true " gathering of the clans," where families from all parts of the Highlands assemble to participate in festive amusement arid social interconrse. I❑ addition to the usual balls, dinner and supper parties, popular games were instituted on this occasion, and as a proof of their suc cess we may mention that from 501. to 1001. are already sub eribed for prizes next year. The picturesque shores of the Moray Frith never looked more brilliant or attractive. — Inverness Courier. On Thursday morning a fearful sensation took place in Rathbone-place, Oxford-street, in consequence of Mr. Thomas Bird, an extensive livery stablekeeper in the neigh bourhood, putting a period to his existence, The cause of the melancholy event, which has plunged the family of the deceased into the most poignant affliction, is attributed to the affairs of the unfortunate man becoming of late very much embarrassed, and for some weeks before the commis sion of the rash act he was in a very low desponding state of mind, which was the more particularly noticed as pre viously he had been a man of remarkably cheerful, social habits. On Wednesday he was noticed to be unusually de jected, and during the day scarcely left his bedchamber. On Thursday morning he rose earlier than usual, and took a walk over his premises, which are very extensive. About eight o'clock, breakfast being ready, one of the ser vants made search after her master to apprise him of it. For some time he could not be found, but at length one of the stablemen discovered the unhappy object of their search suspended to a beam in one of the lofts by a rope. He instantly cut him down, and Mr. Adliug, a surgeon, of Ox ford-street, who attended the family professionally, arrived in a few minutes, and endeavoured, by bleeding and other remedies, to restore animation, but without success, life being quite gone. Information of the circumstance was forwarded to Mr. Stirling, who has appointed an inquest to be held on the body. RUSSIAN DIPLOMATISTS.—WC take it for granted that, except a few of the higher nobility, the whole of the Russian men of rank who travel through Europe are, under one form or another, spies. Thus we have Rus sian nobles who come over to this country as regularly every year as the swallows ; some smitten with the love of agri culture, others with an unrepressive taste for manufactures, others so enthusiastically fond of horse-racirr , and hunting, that they cannot live a season out of Melton and' Newmarket. They come over with dashing equipages, a strong hunting establishment, and a full purse. Their bettings introduce them, of course, among the patricians of the turf ; they are invited to the clubs, they dine at the houses of noble men, the bottle circulates, the conversation flows freely, the Court and the Ministry, the politics of the country, and the characters of public men, are talked off without limit and without disguise. Some of these noblemen, perhaps, are Ministers themselves, or at least acquainted with the objects of Government. Familiarity, capital claret, and long conversation, naturalli let out everything. The even ing at length is over, and the club retire to rest, the Rus sian retires to his portfolio, writes his despatch, sends it surcharged with the news of the day to his agent of corre spondence in the metropolis, and has done his duty as a diplomatist for the next twenty-four hours. We name no names, but the domino will fit a dozen of the best dancers of the mazurka, best players of ecarte, and best whiskered Meltonians in the living annals of hunting and horse-racing. —Blackwood. COACIIMEN.—" A coachman's a privileged indi widual," said Mr. Weller, looking fixedly at his son. "'Cos a coachman may do vithout suspicion wot other men may not ; 'cos a coachman may be on the wery amicablest terms with 80 mile (4' females, and yet nobody think that he ever means to marry any vun among 'em. A reg'lar coach man's a sort o' con-nectin' link betvixt singleness and ma trimony, and every practicable man knows it." " Wot you mean, they're gen'ral fav'rites, and nobody takes adwantage on 'em, p'raps ?" said Sam. His father nodded. " How it ever come to that 'ere pass," resumed the parent Weller, " I can't say ; vy it is that long-stage coachmen possess such insiniwations, and is alvays looked up to—a-dored I may say—by ev'ry young 'ooman in ev'ry town he vurks through, I don't know ; I only know that so it is ; it's a reg'lation of natur—a dispensary, as your poor mother-in law used to say." " A dispensation," said Sam, correcting the old gentleman. " Wery good, Samivel, a dispensation, if you like it better," returned Mr. Weller ; " I call it a dispensary, and its alvays writ up so, at the places vere they gives you physic for nothin' in your own bottles ; that's all."—Pickwick. Died, on the Bth ult., at Campagne Gros Jean, near Geneva, in the 75th year of his age, lamented and re gretted by all his numerous friends and acquaintances, Sir Samuel Egerton Budges, Bart., K.J., or, as he styled him self, " Per legem terra, Lord Chandos of Sudeley." His disorder, which was a lingering and painful one, he bore with exemplary patience and resignation. Descended from a long line of illustrious ancestors, of a kind and generous disposition, mild and unassuming in his manners, although gifted with extraordinary talents and brilliant genius, his loss will long be deeply deplored by all those who enjoyed his society. The inhabitants of Geneva, among whom he passed so many years of his long and eventful life, evinced for him every mark of respect and affection ; numbers of whom attended his remains to the grave. He is suc ceeded in his titlo and estates by his eldest son, now Sir John William Egerton Brydgcs, Bart., of Lee Priory, in the county of Kent. THE DUKE OF YoßK.—•When the Allied Sove reigns visited the University of Oxford in 1814, two young under-graduates, one of whom is now a worthy and re spected member of the Church, were closely following the brilliant cortege, and expressing to each other, in " stage, whispers," their curiosity and anxiety to identify the various illustrious personages then and there assembled. This being overheard by a gentleman who happened to be walk ing just in front of them, he turned about, and very kindly particularised the several royal, noble, and celebrated indi viduals, frequently interrupted, however, by the eager in quiries of his youthful auditors—" Who is this ?" " Who is that ?" " That," said the stranger, "is the Emperor of Russia—that, the King of Prussia. There stands Marshal Blucher—there, the Heiman of the Cossacks ; that is the Prince of --, that the Duke of ;" and, after going through a list of names, now the property of history, he good-humouredly concluded with—" and I am the Duke of York." HYDROPHOBIA.—OB Wednesday evening an In quest was held at Guy's Hospital, before Mr. Payne, Coroner for the City of London, on the body of James Ward Loring, who died of hydrophobia, which awful disease was brought on in the following extraordinary man ner. It appeared that the deceased, who was a fish-sales man in the employment of Mr. Low, of Leadenhall- market, in returning home from Bethnal-green about six weeks ago, was tripped up by striking his foot against a scraper, in a badly lighted part of the road, and whilst on the ground he was bitten in the left hand by a dog. He thought nothing about the matter for three or four weeks, until he felt severe pains and numbness in the arm from the injured part near the thumb quite up to the shoulder. He then, for the first ti m e, men tioned to his friends the fact of his having been bitten. On Saturday last he became much worse, and although tormented with thirst he found himself unable to swallow a drop of water. He therefore went to a surgeon, by whom h e was bl e d ; b u t as that operation g ave him no relief, he went, by the surgeon's advice, to Guy's Hospital, where he died in great agony, with the rnost violent symptoms of hydrophobia, on Monday morn ing, at five o'clock. On the post mortem examination no appearances were observed by which his death could be ac counted for, nor, according to the statement of the house surgeon, are any such appearances ever obs erve d i n case s o f death from hydrophobia. Verdict, Death from Hydrophobia, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1837. INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the Chief Commissioner and Mr. Commissioner Harris.) MUTILATING BOOES.—George Francis Hull, a tailor, late of Vauxhall, whose case was before the Court some time ago, again came up to-day. The insolvent's discharge was opposed personally by Messrs. Gabriel, woollen-dra pers, with whom be had incurred considerable debt under false representations. The insolvent was opposed on the ground of having abstracted leaves from his books, and inserting his mother as a creditor. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER asked the insolvent whether he had not inserted the name of his mother, as a creditor, for the purpose of deceiving his creditors The Insolvent said it might be so construed. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS said that it could be for no other purpose, and the Court would take care not to suffer a debtor either to mutilate or make false entries in his books without passir.g upon him a most severe judgment. Mr. Gabriel said he considered he had great cause of complaint. The Insolvent had acted in a manner through out the case which he felt convinced the Court would con demn and severely punish. The Learned CHIEF COMMISSIONER said that the insol vent bad offended against the most important Section of the Act. It was of the greatest consequence that creditors should be able to ascertain the true state of the affairs of their debtor. The insolvent in the present case had not only falsified his books for the purpose of deceiving his op posing creditors, but had mutilated them. For this offence the Court would adjudge him an imprisonment of six months from the date of his petition. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, OCT. 7.—Wind N. W. to S. S. W. Oct. B.—Wind W.

We extract the following from the New York Papers to the 20th September, just received : ‘‘ MONEY MARKET, SEPT. 18, P.M.—The onward ten dency of the Money Market is unabated. Stocks are rising, Specie falling, Treasury Drafts coming down ; and the general tone of Wall-street getting better and better. This movement in commercial affairs may be attributed entirely to the course of things in Washington, and the recent elections to the eastward. An issue of Treasury notes to the amount of twenty million dollars, even-meets with the decided approbation of every respectable man of business. The re-union of the Government with the De posit Bank is maturing as fast as possible. The gradual approximation of specie and bank notes is indicative of har mony in the financial and political action of the country. Specie is down to 107 108." We extract the following from the Nero York Gazette of the 16th ult. : " A Memorial to Congress from the merchants lies at our desk for signature. The memorial asks-1. An ex tension of bonds prior to Sept. Ist, 1837, for an average:of 12 months, with interest to be added. '2. The like extension of the time for payment of duties upon all goods other than woollens in public store on the said Ist of Sep tember. 3. An extension of the time for which woolle❑ goods may remain in public store, without being liable to be sold for payment of duties, to a period of twelve months from the Ist of September." We take the following extract from the Canton Price Current of the 2d May :—" OPIUM—A recent capture by the Mandarins of a smuggling boat, with about 50,000 taels of Sycee silver, and a seizure of one of the parties inte rested, a Chinchew man, have had the effect of entirely stopping the trade for the present.

MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN El CHANGE. The arrivals of Wheat, Barley, and Beans last week were good, of other Grain inconsiderable, and of Flour fair. The trade for all sorts of Corn last week was very dull, and Wheat was cheaper. This morning there has been a good supply of most Grain, chiefly new, fresh up, and of Barley, Beans, and Pease there was a fair quantity of samples. Oats still come short, but an increase is expected soon. The Wheat trade has suffered a decline of 2s. to 3s. per quarter since Monday last, but to-day the best quotations of both old and new found buyers at no further reduction, but the tender new samples were extremely heavy. Barley is of various qualities, and steadily maintain last quotations for the finest. Old Beans are firm, and new, though dull, are not cheaper. Boiling Pease are unaltered. Grey Pease are again rather lower. The Oat buyers expecting larger supplies, decline purchasing, and the trade has been dull to-day at last week's rates. In the Flour trade there is very little doing, and the prices of ship parcels arc lower. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. .545. Ens. Beans, Small (new) 37s S „Us. 664. ~445. 4Ss.

Oats were in good supply, and new samples were Is. per quarter cheaper, though old sup ported late prices. For Rye there was no demand, and the few sales made were at a decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter on last week's rates. Malt is a free sale, and choice samples command Is. per quarter more money. In Barley there is little doing, as no new samples fit for malting have yet come to market. In other Grain we can note no change. Flour is a very dull sale, and prices full Is. per sack lower. New.

Colonel Tynte gave a splendid entertainment on Wednesday last at Halswell Park to the Officers of the West Somerset Yeomanry. The magnificent gold vase lately presented to the Colonel by the officers of the corps was displayed upon the occasion. INSANITY.—M. Esquirol, one of the most cele brated physicians in France for the treatment of insanity, in a recent publication on the Statistics of tke Royal Lu natic Hospital of Charenton, which is under his superinten dence, ascribes more than one-half of the entire number of cases admitted under his care to moral causes, which, as they operate more generally in a civilized than a savage state, account for the preValence of insanity in the former condition :—" The influence of our political misfortunes," says Esquirol, " has been so great that I could illustrate the history of our revolution, from the taking of the Bastile to the last appearance of Bonaparte, by describing in a series the cases of lunatics whose derangement was in con nection with the succession of events." There are mad people in whom it is difficult to discover any hallucination, but there are none in whom the moral affections are not disordered ; in this particular Esquirol says he never met with an exception. A fatal accident occurred on Monday week, as the company were returning from Uttoxeter race course, to a Mr. Woodward, of London. One of the race horses, it is said, ran away with his rider as he was coming along the turnpike road, and at a short distance from the town rode over Mr. Woodward, who was so dread fully injured that he died in about an hour afterwards. It is remarkable that he had been knocked down by the same horse on the course, and was stunned by the fall. More than a dozen people were knocked down at the time, some of whom were smartly bruised. We believe the horse would not take the hurdles, and being alarmed at the noise set up by the populace, became unmanageable. We understand that arrangements for the entertain ment to be held by the friends of national education are proceeding satisfactorily. A Committee of about a hun dred persons, comprising many of the most respectable and influential individuals of Manchester and the neigh bouring towns, has been formed ; and as accessions are daily making to the list, we have no doubt, that when the plans and arrangements shall be advertised next Saturday, they will come recommended to public approbation and support, by a very powerful array of names. The Tally-ho coach, from Birmingham, which left the Swan at eight o'clock on Wednesday morning, was upset about two miles on the Dunchurch side of Coventry, and several of the outside passengers were hurt. A lady, with a child about four years old, which she protected in the fall, was left where the accident occurred, and it is feared she had received considerable injury ; a gentleman was also left behind, supposed to have his collar-bone broken. The cause of the accident was an unquiet horse, which ran the coach against an embankment in a narrow place where the road is being altered. One of the Devon county magistrates, Edward Lee, Esq., was carried off by apoplexy very suddenly on the 23d ult. He was in good health and spirits, and transacted business with his usual vivacity, not twenty minutes before his decease. On the evening of his death, about half-past six, he was seen in a place called the Middle Field, near Sidmouth, returning home. When he came to the iron bridge which crosses Woolbrook, he was observed by Mr. Morey to stop, lean over the rail of the bridge, and make a motion as if something was the matter with him. He then opened the gate and went over the bridge into Western Field, towards his own house. A few yards from the bridge he began to and continued to do so for ten or twelve yards, when be fell to the ground. Mr. Morey, who knew him, immediately ran to his assistance, and raised him up. His teeth were clenched, he foamed at the mouth, and blood issued from the nose. Medical aid was promptly procured, but the unfortunate gentleman was dead when the surstaa" . a rrived. M r .

This theatre opened for the season on Saturday night. During the recess no pains or expense seem to have been spared in restoring, and in many instances, such in parti cular as the gilding, entirely renewing the costly and ele gant internal decorations, and the effect of the whole, when lighted up, and adorned by the presence of " stores of whose bright eyes shed influence," is splendid in the highest degree. The corps drantatigue comprehends many per formers of considerable eminence in their respective branches of the profession, and the orchestra is of extraordinary mag nitude and power. Mr. T. Cooke conducts, and Mr. Elia son leads the band. The house on Saturday was crowded in every part. Not above two private boxes were unoc cupied, and before half-price not a scat was to be had in pit or boxes, except a few in the slips. At the rising of the curtain the stage appeared occupied by the whole strength of the company, who twice sang "God save the Queen" in the finest style. The Merry Wives of Windsor was the comedy selected to begin the season with, and it is to be hoped that a judgment in selection equally good may be dis played throughout. We trust that, having so excellent a Fal staff as Dowton, the manager of this Theatre will take case that the play just alluded to appears pretty fre quently in his list of presentations for the season. Mr. Dowton dressed the character to perfection, and executed the scenes with Mistress Quickly, with Master and with Mistress Ford in particular, with true Shakesperian feeling. Mr. Compton, as Master Abraham Slender, 'kit the true point of imbecility. We look upon his personification of this character as masterly. Mr. Cooper's Ford was a highly me ritorious performance, and these personages were thoroughly well acted up to by Missaomer and Miss S. Came as the Mete yWives,:and Mrs. Jones as accurate a Dame Quickly as we could wish to see. Miss Poole was a very " sweet Ann Page." The other performers in the comedy did their best in honour of its author ; and the result is a warm desire on our parts to see. the same play acted by the same actors again and again. Several of Shakspeare's songs, as set by Bishop and others, were introduced with admirable effect. After the comedy, a new drama, by Mr. Planche, as we understand, was produced, under the title of The Chihl of the IVreck, and was quite suc cessful. The scene lies in Hamburg; Maurice, the hero of the piece, (Madame Celeste), is the child of an unknown lady, who, twelve years previous the opening of the drama, was shipwreck off Heligoland ; Maurice is the only person saved, and he adopted by Coun sellor Tremens, of Hamburg, and in the family of the widow of this benevolent person we find him, at the com mencement of the piece, a youth of twenty. He is dumb. From the earliest years he has been tenderly attached to the daughter of his benefactor, Louise (Miss Fitzwalter), and she returns his affection, but as she imaginJs with only a sister's feelings. She becomes, however, enlightened as to the true state of the case on beholding his despair when she informs him, on her return from Berlin, that she has been affianced by her mother to her cousin Albert and that the marriage is to take place on the morrow. Maurice, upon these tidings, without communicating the secret of his love to its object, determines upon instant flight from the home which has become miserable to him, and he arranges with an attached tenant on the estate to accompany him to America as a common sailor. At this juncture of affairs, Albert (Brindal), a young man who has been led into the vortex of gam bling, and who has forsworn play at the urgent prayers of his father Hartemann (Cooper), intercepts a letter to his father, from a person to whom, notwithstanding his promise, he has just lost a thousand florins at play, and who threatens to disgrace him if the sum is not paid before night. Maddened with the apprehension that his father should discover his transgression, Albert abstracts the re quired sum from the cash-box of Greindel (WY. Bennett), the steward of Madame Tremens (Mrs. C. Jones), with the intention of replacing it next morning out of his bride's portion. The theft, however, is discovered, and suspicion is thrown by the malignant steward on Young Maurice, who, on his way to meet the Captain of the American vessel, has been seen at night by Greindel in the apart ment next to that in which the cash box was deposited. Under these distressing circumstances it is that Mr. Ilartemann, by means of a portrait which Maurice wears, discovers in this youth the son of a lady whom he had, some twenty years before, married and deserted for the wife chosen for him by his father. Ultimately the real culprit is discovered, and Maurice, received into his father's arms, is acknowledged the heir of his wealth, in exclusion of the son who has disgraced him. The mute action of Madame Celeste as the Dumb Boy is highly graceful and expressive. Mrs. C. Jones was exceedingly amusing as Madame Tre mens, a lady of nerves, and the other characters in the piece were well sustained. COVENT GARDEN. The Bridal was brought out at this Theatre for the first time on Saturday. The principal characters were sup ported by Mr. Macready and Miss Huddart with, if pos sible, more spirit than at the Haymarket. Mr. Anderson also played his part in a natural and effective style, and promises from what we have witnessed to become an ex cellent actor. The play was given out for Thursday next by Mr. Macready, amidst thunders of applause. Mr. Macready and Mr. Anderson were both called for, and presented themselves, when the curtain dropped. One of the revenue police stationed at Manor hamilton, under command of Mr. Byrne, has just succeeded to a property near Tuam, amounting to 1,5001. per annum ; the estate was litigated by an eminent attorney in Dublin for another branch of the family, who did not succeed in proving his title, and it has thus unexpectedly fallen to a young man in humble life.—Limerick Chronicle. On Tuesday night, soon after ten o'clock, three of the prisoners confined in the Scotland•street gaol effected their escape by making a hole through the wall which sur rounds the prison yard. The breach in the wall was dis covered directly after the men had effected their escape, and in time to prevent the rest from following their example Mercury.

This, it appears to us, is sufficient in all conscience for one publisher, in one season.—Athencrum. Wcyhill fair, the largest annual Monday mart for sheep and hops, commences this day ; the pleasure fair continues nearly the whole of the week. Corsica, that classic land of vengeance and assassi• nation, has recently been the scene of a double tragedy, in which two families, united by marriage, and consisting of father, daughter, mother, and son, figured as the principal of the dramatis person . . The parties in question were the widow Antomarchi, her son, Pietro Paulo, Diogenes Bona vita, and his daughter. The latter was married to Pietro Paul. The widow Antomarchi, though arrived at the steady age of 42, " when the hey-day of the blood is pissed," had, it seems, become pregnant, and malicious fame had repre sented Diogenes Bonavita as the seducer of the elderly ma tron. Pietro Paulo, desirous of effacing the stigma cast upon his family, had, through the agency of a bandit, named Rinaldo Franchi, forwarded a letter to Diogencs Bonavita, threatening him with assassination if he refused to marry the widow Antomarchi. The bearer of the letter having been arrested, the whole truth was discovered, and Pietro Paulo appeared before the Court of Assizes at Bastin, on the capital charge of aiding and abetting in sending a letter with threats of death. He was found guilty with extenuat ing circumstances, and condemned to five years' imprison ment. His young wife, the daughter of Diogenes Bonavita, was in Court when the sentence was pronounced, and fainted on littering the fate reserved for her husband. At the se quel of the melancholy tale, we are obliged to add, that the bandit, Rinaldo Franchi, but too faithfully fulfilled his sanguinary menace against Diogenes Bonavita. The let ter, on proceeding to Bastia, to solicit a commutation of pu nishment in favour of his guilty son-in-law, was met by the outlaw, who fired upon and mortally wounded t the object of his threats. The unfortunate man a few days afterwards breathed his last.—French Paper. Th e D o vrpger Countess of Listowell has returned to her residence, Kingston House, Knightsbridge, horn Leamington Spa. The Marquis 1.1114 Mare- hi .'oness ot Abereorn did not arrive at th e ; !: 'residence on Carlton-terrace on Friday from the north. They are still at Lord Aberdeen's at Haddn House, whence they are expected to set out before the end of the month on a four months' tour in the south of Europe, ac companied by Lord Claude Hamilton. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPEF BaussEns, Ocr. 7.--Their Majesties the King and Queen will set out on Tuesday for Paris. A new English Journal, of large dimensions, to.be called the Mciehry, is !zoing- to be published t.vieQ a week hire ; the prospectus will appear in a few days. The Chamber of Representatives in its sitting yesterday wa3 engaged with the reports on the electims or the new Members. HANOVER, SEPT. 24.—The convocation of the Estates of the Kingdom appears to draw nearer as the people's minds become more calm. The Opposition will not pursue a new course, but rather that which it has hitherto done ; still less will it be the old one than one newly formed, by an exchange of parts, and east of all is it likely to choose for its spokestnen, those who were the most determined to become so, before a general conviction prevailed that ;he King's will is to leave every one in the enjoyment of his rights ; that he gives ear to every body who has the carrying on business, and exerts himself more than his health allows. It requires no acquaintance with law to know that he, as well as every other person, on succeeding to a brother, should possess and keep his patrimonial inheritance without a my es sential diminution. Now, it cannot be indifferent to him whether he shall merely tolerate and approve, as a matter of form, the administration of the domains, or whether he shall direct and determine it ; but it is indifferent to the Chambers by whom he has the domain managed, if they arc but managed well. Pecuniary embarrassment is quite out of the question, unless it be the embarrassment how to dispose of the surplus re:enue, which is the greater the better the rich harvest is managed, as the corn is good, cattle dear, and as our wool, most of which is course, is sold well. It is a good sign that our funds have been, from the beginning of the reign, above par, and continue to rise. It is worthy remark, that one journal giving its opinion of the last artful letter of O'Connell, declares his plans impracticable, and hopes for a satisfactory issue in England, in the Conservative spirit, but passes over in silence his abuse of more than Hanoverian despotism. In truth it is more easy to believe in the revels of the Devil on the Blocksberg, than in despotism in this country, which all persons in office would unanimously declare to he an im possibility, and reject it as such. The King has not in fringed any rights even in the slightest degree, but be has put an end at once to the former uncertainty that the views of the Court here might not agree with those of the Court in London, and that which had been approved here,lnight be disapproved there. No change is made in things them selves, but a very great one in tone and manner. The public business is executed with rapidity ; persons in office are every day to be found at home after dinner, engaged with their papers, and on Sundays the church is more at tended by ladies of distinction than the theatre. The clergy are distinguished at Court. The Abbot of Loccam has been made Commander of the Order. The Queen turns the conversation on religious subjects, and on the charitable institutions, which she liberally supports. The creation of au institution for the blind excites peculiar interest, because the defect in the sight; of the Crown Prince is serious, and it is doubtful whether it can be cured. Otherwise the fairest hopes may be entertained of him : he makes himself beloved wherever he goes, and it is more than love—it is o . : account of his misfortune, a tender family interest is mani fested for him. When the Constitution was discussed, the possible contingency of his blindness was as well known as it is now ; the Estates in their debates purposely avoided all reference to uncertain family matters, but left theni to the Family Statute, to which the Constitution accordingly refers. Now the Family Statute expressly calls the de scendants of the present King to the Throne ; it decides other disputed questions—for instance, respecting the pos terity of the Duke of Sussex, and it was passed with the consent of all the collaterals. Now, as it is not doubtful that a man may be blind and yet in full possession of all his faculties, and capable of governing well, it can likewise not be doubted that a man does not lose either his understanding or his Throne, when he loses his eyes. As the Family Statute takes it for granted that the heir to the Throne is in full possession of his faculties, and expressly imposes no condition on him except. that he is descended of a suitable marriage, and, as our Crown Prince not only has all his faculties, but makes the best use of them, and is de scended from the marriage of his father with a Princess of suitable rank ; it does not appear why the most unhappy possible case of his remaining totally blind should be as sumed, and why his capability of succeeding to the Throne should be discussed in the assembly of the Estates, when the rights of the collaterals cannot be decided upon. lIELGIAN li UNDS-1111i73gELs, OCT. 7.

Herald. _ _ _ Yesterday morning, between nine and ten o'clock, a youth. named Samuel Cross was amusing himself on the barges off the wharf of Messrs. - Bovill and Co., coal merchants, of Milford-lane, Strand, when he discovered the body of a man lying on his back on the mud between two barges. The boy immediately gave information of the circumstance at the house of Mr. Bond, the Bull, in Mil ford-lane, when some coal-porters. who were present went down to the water side and brought the body to the above house. Judgin,g from appearances, the unfortunate man could not have been in the water but a very shirt time. He is in stature about five feet six inches, and of a dark com plexion ; he was dressed in a black body coat, black waist coat with a rolling collar, black trousers, Blucher boots, chocolate-coloured silk cravat, with a fine linen shirt, drawers, under flannel wais!clat, and white cotton stock ings there were no initials on the linen ;on the middle knuckle of the right hand a wart is apparent ; no papers or documents were found on the person of the deceased to trace his identity, nor was any cash or other property dis covered when searched by the police at the House of Mr. Bond. Information of the discovery was forwarded to the Coroner for Westminster, who has appointed an inquest to be held on the body this . day. -..-- -.. ...- -, ....- .....,.. LODGING-HOUSES OF TIIE LONDON BEGGARS. —ln those lodging-houses which were formerly open to the begging fraternity promiscuously, and where business was carried on on a large scale, it was found, from experience, necessary to take certain precautions against the abstrac tion of any of the articles of furniture. Mother Cum mings, who died a few years since, and who for a long pe riod kept a lodging-house in a low street in Bloomsbury, always made a point of turning the key on her customers w h en th e y went to bed, and then unlocked the door with her own hand in the morning. By this means she pre vented any of them making away with any articles of fur niture in the course of the night ; and as she witnessed every one of them quit their hovels in the morning, the idea of felony in the case of her property was out of the question. I may here mention, that Mother Cummings, while she was alive, kept by far the most extensive lodging house for mendicants, of any of her contemporaries. She has been known to have had, on repeated occasions, up wards of eighty lodgers in one night. And, strange as it may seem, it was proved to be a fact, that she had one round bed in which, when there was an unusual demand for accommodation, eighteen or twenty persont have been huddled together for the night. Mother Cummings made always a distinction between fly:: bette.. and inferior class of mendicants. With this vie,,v she ',lad two prices for ac commodation for the night. The charge for a bed in or idinary cirentustth lees was t wo -p e nce per night ; but if any olio 01(7se to indulge in the luxury of clean straw, the charge was four-pence. The charge, therefore, of the different up plinants for lodgings, in the matter of their bed, enabled her at once to range her customers into two classes ; and both were treated by lier with a measure of attention cor responding to the place they occupied in her estimation.— Sketches in London. bg the Author of " - Random Recollec tions." iA ~~y '\
