To the Dissenters be gave up the Test and Corporation Acts to the Roman Catholics he conceded emaneipats.cts, and to the nation cheap food ; only one political b att i t he may be fairly said to have lost, and that was one whicb,Lord DERBY intends to fight once more agai nst the people—the battle of Electoral Reform. For many years, however, the Duke himself has been a barrier which a ll th e b e tt e r part of the earnest Liberals did not lik to force ; in his person was con: centrated almost all the resp ec t th e y f e lt for the Hous of Lords. He was k nown t o b e a C onserv ative at heart, but his manly way of conceding, and of cor dially accepting when ha had done so, all the great liberal measures but one, had conciliated a large amount of esteem tor him with all fair-minded Liberals. They saw that he was no factious, no grudging politician ; and hence, al:hough differing widely from him, he was the ONE among the aris tocracy whom they would least willingly grieve. Then, again, there was considerable reliance on his practical judgment. " What will the Duke say ?" was a frequent expression from the lips of those who cared nut v. straw what any other duke might say. And it Iva.; not merely an inquiry into which scale his in fluence Would be th rown—there was a feeling also that what a mind so practical and honest would ap prove demanded unusual consideration. The opinion of one who had so often told the haughty peers of England, and told them . with almost military autho rity,wer e n ow that they to yield to the people could not but be an ?pinion Worthy of the people's friendly regard. And it had their regard. The po 'contrasting palace of late cheered him on every Public occasion, &though his indifference to their plaudits so s!rikingly with the "gracious b awa ” of his SovnitioN, mitt well have checked the ; While amongst the more educated classes respect appears to have grown wifil his yParp, wai seen to stand in a kind of paternal relation, " only to a rather unpopular Upper House, but also t o ourbeloved SovEarauti herself; and the man on whom such a female, in the solitary position of QUEEN, h ad BO often to rely Es a friendly rather than an official adviser, conciliated, perhaps, more kindly feeling to ward'him by that circumstance than by any other. If we owe, as we c.,rtainly do, to Lord MELBOURNE, national gratitude for imbuin g the mind of our young QUEEN so thoroughly with the spirit and principles of our co ns tit u ti on, we equally owe a like debt to the Duke of WELLINGTOX for enablin her, in critical junctures, t o app l y those principbsg successfully. It was not below the dignity of a comparatively youth ful SOVEREIGN to lean on the counsels of such pro longed experience, fidelity, and practical wisdom. Such a man was the very bulwark of Conservatism. He gave coherency by his authority in the Senate, and weight by his favour with SOVEREIGN and people, to the, opposition which the House of Lords could offer to the political elevation of the people. All that is now gone for ever. It is difficult to think of any one now in the House of Lords (with the excep tion, perhaps, of one benevolent northern Peer, and one or two pretty liberal ones) whom the more ad vanced Liberals would not gladly compel to bow to the popular will. The Upper House will once more be looked upon merely as something to be got over as an obstacle to be surmounted or removed, quietly, if possible, but to be got rid of somehow. The Lords will, more than ever, depend for their efficiency in the councils of the State, perhaps for their very existence as a house, not on their jealously obstruct ing every onward movement, and conserving to their own class every vested abuse and every source of emolument, but on their sincere, hearty, and obvious devotion to the interests of the people. Lord DERBY'S Cabinet may rest assured that the nation will now demand much which he considered himself installed in office to oppose. A great exten sion of law reform, notwithstanding his late unfortu nate Chancery appointment, he could grant with consistency. The County Courts' jurisdiction need not remain at .50/., nor other courts retain the bar barisms and technicalities, which have been so success. fully expelled from the former. The Ecclesiastical Courts are a condemned mass of infamy already —he need . not linger in destroying them. Doctors' Commons is not immaculate. All would support him in transferring the jurisdiction of testamentary affairs to a civil court. On the education question a sufficiently large really national party has yet to b e f orme d , b ut the vast another majority of the nati on are quite unanimous on educational que s ti on—the taxes on know ge_and a ll, w h ose op i nions are worth anything, led agree that to increase the allurements to reading, by cheapening it to the masses, is one unquestionable and unobjectionable mode of promoting education. With one of the prominent literary men of the day, too, as the very genius of his Cabinet, the repeal of the taxes on knowledge would be its most consistent, and we think, with posterity, would be its most creditable achievement. Then there are India and our colonies. Our colonies ! What a field for economy a nd,for:statesraanship. The Whigs have left it to the Tories, if they will but seize the golden moment, to unite every now disaffected colony in the bonds of national, federal, and loyal attachment to the British Crown, perhaps for ages to come. Taxation reform, and real reform of it, too, would harmonize well with the:past professions of BENJAMIN DISRAELI. Thus far might Lord DERBY go; and while devoting himself to these objects, no House of Commons dare to remove him from power. With the little difference which people generally perceive between Whig and Tory, the old cry of " Measures not men," would assuredly be heard louder than ever. Lord DERBY is safe, so long as he continues a reformer of practical abuses ; still he must be aware that reform will not stop there. The country will not, indeed, endanger the existence of a Ministry, while it is seriously and diligently labouring to forward valuable measures ; but the country is determined on having a more direct voice in the House of Commons. It will no longer be content with the boroughs which Lord JOHN spared, with less than household suffrage, or at least some bonii fide and large extension of the suffrage; and, especially, it will never be content again without the ballot. Lord DERBY may call such things democracy, others may raise the bugbear of republicanism, and some weaker heads even talk o socialism. It is no such thing. Never was the demand for an extension of popular power more intelligent, and, less passionate ; more loyal and conservative of all worth keeping, and less republican. With the exception of the nominees of Irish priests, the fa vourites of the people at the late election, whether successful or unsuccessful, may challenge with ad vantage a comparison in legislative qualifications with the nominees of pocket boroughs. There is a cool, deliberate conviction throughout the country that the present electors are intellectually and morally worthy of independent, i. c., protected votes, and that vast numbers of the unenfranchised are worthy to have them too. Against this conviction, to use the words of Mr. LOWE at Kidderminster, " it is not my Lord DERBY, nor my Lord MALMESBURY, uor Sir FITZROY KELLY, nor a thousand such men (long banded together against our commercial free ,lom), that would stop the onward movement of public opinion a single inch." Let his Lordship, then, look coolly on facts. He will ba cheerfully tolerated awhile if, as soon as the truce agreed upon over the Duke's funeral is past, he commences some valuable reforms and perfects others. Otherwise his tenure of office will be but short indeed. But while those re forms are in progress the growing demand for poli tical reform will not become less urgent. He must face it. No Iron Duke, no venerated and popular Duke will take him beneath the shelter of his wing. The relics of the Whigs, cured, we trust, of their family disease, will be united in healthier feeling with the men of the people, and ready for office ; and then it will be for the aristocratic Leader to say whether he will victimize himself, his party, and to some ex tent his order too, in a useless and hopeless opposition to an intelligent and determined people, or whether he will increase the real strength of the aristocracy, by leading it to cooperation, rather than to battle with the people. Ir he could but take the great Duke for his mode!, not indeed on this particular question of reform (on which he sustained his greatest public defeat), but in his general conduct; if, like him, he could know when to surrender, and surrender heartily when he did so, then might Lord DERBY, too, share in some measure the goodwill of the country at large and might become the true saviour of his order. What are the principles and doctrines of the Church of England, and in what respect do they differ from the Roman Catholic Church ? If the practices re cently introduced by some beneficed clergymen, and expressly sanctioned, or tacitly connived at by some bishops, be continued, the Reformation has been a nullity—the line of demarcation by which we are separated from the Papal authority has become i mperceptible, and we may be " reconciled" to Rome with all convenient speed. It has recently been Pointedly remar k e d , and there i s unfortunately but too truth i n th e o b servat i on, that " each prelate laims to be be a li tt l e Pope within his own diocese, demanding the greatest latitude for himself, but en deavouring to compel a slavish obedience on some points from the subordinate clergy, while on others he allows them al most u u o n rm bo it u y nded license." Th e r e c ertainl a ppears no mod e by which nif any thing approachi g of opini on — we h a d y, at n present to , a l mos t written soundness of doctrine —can be secured on the episcopal bench. The extra-judicial inquiry recently held at Pl conduct of th e mouth into into the Rev. Mr. PRYNNE, EXETER to show that , s o far as the Bish o p is concerned, the practice or auricular confession but highly approved. is not only sanctioned, Let there be no misconception on the point. and Pent i not. - merely the outpourings of a sinful tent heart, seeking eatin.,.el and comfort from a pious minister, that is thus recognised , but rathe r th e earching cross-examination into the most secr e t Thoughts—the suggestion to women andh a d no female pre vcu h o dren of ideas of which th e y m i g ht hal conception, and the knowledge whereof must neces sarily injure that purity and innocence which consti tutes the chief feminine charm. What husband, father, or brother, would consent to such interroga tories being administered to his relatives as those scribed to Mr. PRYNNE, in the statements - on which the investigation was instituted ? What really pure minded female would subject herself to such degrada tion ? If such proceedings should become general in the Established Church, we can easily conceive that there would be a very numerous addition to the ranks of dissent, and that it would spiedily cease to be the "Church of England." doubt o n in order to pre ven t th e ser i ous evils that mulOwtnecessarily arise from an y m i sun d erstanding or the subject, it is exceedingly de sirable that the really Protestant Bishops of this Protestant e . ountry should explain, and that without "Y delay, their opinions on the any unnecess pro ceedings which th e ~ Bishop of EXETER apparently such unfeigned admiration, 7 r e e s g p a e r e d t s i h he emphatically declared that ' -141A-,\ 4. , -4, • g he acquitted Mr. PRYNNE "of anything like presumption or of holding doctrine not in accordance with the Church of England, even of indiscretion in receiving confession;' adding, " no one knows how many young sinners may have been recovered from their wickedness by that means. Be that as it may, I most certainly think that Mr. PRYNNE stands forth—to me most undoubtedly, and I should hope to all present here this day—free from all blame." Such has been the conclusion of this anxiously looked for inquiry — a resu l t which m i g ht well excite the astonishment of the auditory. The matter cannot, however, rest there. An extra-judici a l i nqu i ry is not suitable to the magnitude of the occasion. An investigation must take place before an unprejudiced tribunal, and with every accessory that may give weight and au thority to the final judgment. Conscientious mem bers of the Church of England must now perceive that the Establishment is not 20 much endangered from hostile a tt ac k s from without, as from theinsidious attacks of its own children. There is always greater danger from treason in a camp than from the most energetic efforts of open and acknowledvd enemies. That principle should be clearly understood, and if there is no adequate mode, under the existing Ecclesias tical code, of freeing the Church from in ternal enemies, who, though nominally holding its doctrines, are practically little better than emissaries from Rome, the sooner the omission be supplied, and a suitable remedy provided for the flagrant grievance, the better. Tractarianism has already received too much countenance from persons holding high offices in the Church. The time has arrived when they must speak out openly and unequivocally, and array themselves boldly under the banners of Rome or England. We can respect an honest and undisguised opponent, no matter how greatly he may be mistaken, but can have no feeling, save that of contempt and indignation, for a treacherous adherent, who is only prevented from deserting to the opposing ranks by pecuniary' mo tives—a base and sordid hankering after the loaves and fishes, an inordinate love for £ s. d. ti As no personage could, by his demise, have left a more remarkable void in the long catalogue of the illustrious subjects of the British SOVEREIGN, than his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON—so there was assuredly no one whose death could necessitate a more extended series of alterations in the distribu tion of honours, dignities, emoluments, and preroga tives. The changes here referred to as inevitable on the decease of the great warrior are of a nature, moreover, such as will require their instant considera tion so soon as the grave has closed over the remains of the extraordinary man recently departed. Several of the offices held by him up to the moment of his disappearance are of a character likewise so pecu liarly important, as involving the welfare of con ! siderable classes in the community, that it becomes a matter of immediate interest to ob serve the selection made among those who are regarded as not altogether unworthy of being nominated his successors. Foremost among all the vacant appointments of course is that of Com mander-in-Chief of the Forces of the United King dom—a post which had been occupied by the Hero of the Peninsula uninterruptedly through very many changes in the national Administration. In the appointment of Viscount HARDINGE to the direction of affairs at the Horse Guards we have already ex pressed our cordial concurrence. Pending the vacancy of that elevated and onerous post numerous candidates for its duties were the objects of public conjec ture. Conspicuous among them were veterans whose services would appear to evidence high claims to be chosen to this responsible and elevated office. People acquainted with the secr e t w i s h es of the profession were not long, for example, dumb us to the distin• guished merits of the Earl of STAIR, any more than they were blind to the eminent services of the Earl of COMBERMERE, or deaf to the honourable reputation of the gallant and chivalrous Marquis of LONDONDERRY. A different band of speculators as to the future Commander-in-Chief of the army of Great Britain had turned their attention with no trivial degree of solicitude to that renowned Captain whose fame as a conqueror was assuredly among living me n only second to that of the late Duke of WELLINGTON —but w hese splendid achievements have hitherto gained him little more than the glory resulting to his arms from the great victories of Meanee and Hyde rabad! Whatever the ingratitude of the country towards that renowned chieftain whose valour ren dered him the victor of Scinde, as his genius afterwards constituted him its administrator—it can never be forgotten in the military annals of England that, at a period of extraordinary emergency, when suc cess seemed for a while to have forsaken our banners beyond the southern frontiers of the Punjaub, the Duke of WELLINGTON offered that ever -memorable tribute of confidence and admiration to his illustrious brother in-arms when, on being asked to suggest three names to the Board of Directors in Leadenhall-street, as those of men fitted to repair the broken fortunes of the campaign, he wrote—" Sir CHARLES NAPIER, Sir CHARLES IN APIER, Sir CHARLES NAPIER." Upon Lord FITZROY SOMERSET, as the military secre tary during so many years of his Grace the late Com mander-in-Chief, it was conceived by many that the profession mantle had directly fallen from the shoulders of the Duke of WELLINGTON. A different class of observers, on the other hand, awaited with confi dent anticipation the nomination of the chief command at the Horse Guards of no less important an aspirant than a Prince of the Blood Royal, in the person of his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE. How evermuch the latter suggestion might be depreciated, moreover, by the sticklers for precedence to veteran candidates—it must, at any rate, be admitted upon all sides that the claims of his Royal Highness, as an in telligent soldier, devoted heart and soul to the pro fession upon which his name has been now for many years enrolled, his services (for a time of peace) were in no way inconsiderable, and his claims were consequently in no respect insignificant. As to the supposition at one period prevalent to the effect that his Royal Highness the Prince ALBERT might, in the event of a change such as that consequent upon the death of the Duke of WELLINGTON, be considered eligible to the position of Commander-in-Chief—we felt as sured that one moment's reflection must be sufficient to show that the conjecture was one altogether prepos terous. Elevated as the post of Commander-in -Chief undoubtedly is in itself, it could not by possibility lend any additional lustre to the rank of one so elevated in position as his Royal Highness the PRINCE CONSORT -- but would, on the con trary, tend rather to derogate from the dignity of the Second Personage in the United King dom. Simultaneously with that necessity of selecting a new Commander-in-Chief, which has been so hap pily met by the DERBY Government—the mem bers of Convocation at Oxford find themselves sud- denly called upon to nominate a new Chancellor of the University to the chair rendered vacant by the unexpected death of the Duke of WELLINGTON. Three claimants .broughtr names of that high honour have ahead; seriously under the notice of the members of Convocation.

Meanwhile the mote coveted anlOrig the badges of knighthood, and other costly baubles of nobility, lie in unaccustomed profusion at the com mand of the Earl of DERBY in his capnity as the First Minister of the Crown—insomuch, indeed, that st the present moment there are no less than two Garters at the disposal of the PREMIER. Everything considered, the responsibilities devolving upon the Noble Earl in this remarkable emergency must be viewed as immeasurably more than counterbalanced by the opportunities which those very responsibilities in reference to the distribution of honours, dignities, emoluments, and prerogatives necessitate of extending the influence of his Cabinet and of consolidating the energies of his Administration. THEATRE ROYAL, PLYMOUTH. Mr. T. C. King has been performing at Plymouth with great success. Last week he appeared in the principal roles in Richard the Third and Virginius. The other characters were very well supported. In a melodramatic spectacle, Wallace the Hero of Scot land, and in Katherine and Petruchio, Mr. King, Miss Page, and Mit., Fanny Huddart sustained the chief parts. Prenez Garde, a ballet pantomime by Mr. Le Clercq, was very prettily got up, and afforded an opportunity for the talented Le Clercq family to exhibit some of their best dancing. The exceeding brilliancy and finish of Miss Louise Le Clercq's per formance excited great admiration. If this accom plished young lady were to appear at one of the prin cipal metropolitan theatres she would at once assume a first-rate position in Collet, and become one of the most popular danseuses on the English stage. MRS. PARKE' S CABINETS AND PAINTINGS. We were favoured, on Saturday, with a private view of this tasteful and valuable collection, which Mrs. Parkes announces for distribution among her subscribers on the 18th of November next. Some of the allotments (to one of which each guinea subscriber is entitled) are very valuable, among which the first rank is to be given to Johnston's noble painting of " The Introduction of Flora Macdonald to Prince Charles Edward, after the Battle of Culloden." The value of this much-admired picture is five hundred guineas, and several beautiful engravings of it are among the allotments. There are also M'lnnes's " Visiting the Bothie," furnishing excellent portraits of the Royal Family; and "Highland Courtship," by the first -named artist. Among the many engravings, the most exquisite is, in our opinion, that of "Jesse Bourn and Colin Grey," the subject taken from Crabbe's thirteenth tale, by Mrs. Southgate, of which one thousand impressions will be placed in the scheme of 7,000 allotments. There are also cabinets richly carved and decorated, and furnished with a hand somely-bound collection of volumes ; and engravings and prints without end. The scheme well deserves pa tronage, and we feel confident that Mrs. Parkes will not fail to obtain it. 'We recommend our readers to judge for themselves by a visit to her establishment in Golden-square. U NIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. THE VACANT CHANCELLORSHIP.

PALL OF A HOUSE —NINE PERSONS WOUNDED.-- This morning, just before three o'clock, the most painful anxiety was experienced in St. Giles's, in consequence of a loud crash having been heard in Queen-street, which was found to be occasioned through the failing in of the house No. 27, the landlord of which was a man named Steward, who let the house to various lodgers at a cheap rate. After the dust had somewhat cleared away, some of the F divi sion of police, at all hazards, ventured through the remains of the passage to the back of the premises, when they heard faint cries for help. Shovels and pickaxes were soon ob tained, and by the great perseverance of thoss present, under the direction of an inspector of the F division of police, nine persons, males and females, were removed from under the ruins to the surgeries in the neighbourhood; b u t they were all so much more or less bruised, that it was found necessary to convey three to Charing-cross Hospital, and the other six to St, Giles's workhouse. THE CASE OF THE SISTERS SHARPLEY.---0 11 Sa turday a petty session was holden at the board -room of Marylebone Workhouse, before Mr. Trupp, county magis trate, to ascertain the state of mind of the Misses Juli a an d Harriett Sharpley, the unfortunate ladies who attempted to starve themselves to death consequent on their being reduced to the most abject want. The ladies had been ex am i ne d professionally by Mr. Obr6, of Lisson-grove, surgeon, but who expressed a strong conviction that, although upon some points they were extremely obstinate in opinion and strong minded women, they were not insane; and he, therefore, could not certify. Mr. Squires, the chief surgeon of the in firmary, held quite a different opinion. The Misses Sharp ley were brought before the magistrate, and on being in terrogated, stated in the most reasonable manner that they refused public charity beeause there was a proper channel from which they were entitled to relief as a right. 'They both declared that, when they were reduced to their very last resource, they themselves asked Mrs. Turner, their landlady, to apply to the workhouse for relief. The Magis trate positively refused to sign the usual form for their re moval to a lunatic asylum, and they will now remain in Marylebone workhouse, and be passed to their own parish, Windsor, in due course, DEATH OF SIR DIGBY MACKWORTH, BAR T .-- This Baronet, for many years known as Aide-de-camp to Lord Hill, died on Friday last, at his seat, Glen Usk, county of Monmouth, aged fifty-one. Sir Digby was a strong advo cate of Protestant principles, and in support of them he con.- tested the representation of Liverpool in 1847. He also contested Derby and other constituencies. The deceased served throughout the Peninsular war, and was at the battle of Waterloo. He is succeeded by his son Digby, a lieute nant in the 50th Foot. The family is of Derbyshire ex traction. Four Members acted as Esquires to the Black Prince at Poictiers, and by a strange coincidence four of their descendants acted on the staff of L9td Hill at Waterloo THE SHARE M A.AKETS. 133LX171331 IMILIVALTSI Railways.

The iron trade is reported to be very active in Staf fordshire, at advanced rates. The railway meetings announced are the following:— Belgian Eastern Junction, 16th Oct., Brussels.

The following note has been received from the secre tary of the North British Railway, concerning the alleged issue of an interdict against the payment of the partial dividend recently declared on the Six per Cent, Preference Shares:— "In reply to yours of the 18th instant, I beg to inform you that at the general meeting on the 10th instant, a protest against the payment of the preference dividend was given in on behalf of an original shareholder, and his solicitor intimated that ho was instructed, if neces sary, to follow it up by legal proceedings to interdict the Payment. This he hes not yet done, but should ho do so before the 10th proximo, the directors will have no alter native but to delay payment till the question be discussed.' The American adviecs are, upou matters of trade, particularly satisfactory. Tho " fall " demand was large for most imports. At New York the total value of imports for the week was less than 3,000,000 dollars, and the value of dry goods put upon the market was 1,333,753 dollars. Regarding exports, the increase in wheat during the year ending Sept. I, from all the ports of the United States to Great Britain, was about 250,000, barrels, so far compensating the falling off in flour. There was not oven a rumour of failures. The accounts from Canada notice a long debate on a motion to address the Queen in relation to amending the Navigation Act of 1845, and praying that she will recommend to Parliament to impose duties on the pro ductions of such foreign nations as tax the pro ducts of Canada—meaning that England shall put a tariff on breadstuff.; from this country going into the United Kingdom—with a view of forcing our Government to adopt the reciprocity views of the Canadian Government. After the close of the debate, the Committee of the Whole reported progress on the resolutions, and the subject for the present was laid aside. Mr. Thomas Baring was in the United States, and his visit excited some attention, although not diplomatic. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 25th inst. was without much alteration. Spanish Bonds were firmer, but Russian, Austrian, Mexican, and Portuguese were lower. By the ship Med way, for which Messrs. Marshal and Edridge are the agents, 65,051 ounces of gold have come to hand from California. The dates being of May are not so late as those previously received.
