VIE SUN, LONDON, TUBSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1837. THE FUND.-(THIS DAY.) LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1837. In the American Journals to the 20th ult., received yesterday from Liverpool, we find a string of Reso lutions, which Mr. ADAMS has given notice that he will submit to Congress before the expiration of the present extraordinary session. Our present. business is only with one of them, which is sup posed, by politicians on the other side of the Atlantic, to glance obliquely at the mischievous colo nial policy of Great Britain, as regards the govern ment of the Canadas. We may be told that nothing more is meant than the mere settling of a disputed boundary. Such is the general conviction here, but a different opinion prevails in Washington. The fol lowing, is a copy of the resolution alluded to : " Resolved that the President of the United States he requested to communicate to this House, so far as the pub lic interest will permit, the correspondence between the Government of the United States, and that of Great Bri tain relating to the north-eastern boundary of the United States, since the Message of the late President to the Se nate of the United States of the 15th of June, 1836." Witnout wishing to attach to this document more im portance thas it deserves, we nay be allowed to observe that they are the best friends of the Ministers who point out the faults they are committing or allowing to be committed ; and, where it is evident to the whole world that their authority is used to inflict misrule over any portion of the Commonwealth. at home or abroad, it is the duty of their friends to make the same known to them, in the hopes that the corrective may be applied before it is too late. It is with much sorrow we are com pelled, by a sense of duty, to point out where gross misrule exists, which all the observing world knows— which the Reformers regret—hut which the Tories re joice at, as it must stop for ere; the complaints of the Whigs against misrule in the Colonies, if ever the Tories should come into office. The conduct of the Colonial Government, especially in Lower Canada, is advancing by rapid strides towards despotism ; and the Governor, Lord GOSFORD, seems, lry his education in Ireland, when the Orange System was rank, and the Orange chiefs were oppressing their Catholic neighbours, to have learned to follow their example in misrule. We really hope that Lord MELBOURNE will, whilst he has the power, stop those tyrannical proceedings which arc perpetrated under his authority and sanction, although we, who know his liberal disposition and principles, are confident that such unconstitutional acts as those of Lord GOSFORD in Canada are the offspring of the unnatural Tory system now acted upon by the Colonial office. It is not to be forgotten that the Colonial-office had the countenance of Lard JOHN RUiISELL last session is pass its tyrannical, rtsotutions in the ncitise of Commons against Lower Canada, aided by a large majority of r.'nfit house, who must now look back with shame a y,a withregret at their own proceedings in sui;ort of such acts. The House Assembly of of T d oWer Canada has scouted these resolutions of Lord j oHN RUSSELL, and laughed him to scorn for pro piing suelt raoiutionary measures as he has done. £he people, in every part of the Province, have met, by public notice, and approved of the proceedi ngs o f t h e i r representative,: in rejecting any advance in the way of coercion until their grievances shall be redressed ; and we Ire confident that there is not a good Reformer in the United Kingdom who does not approve of the patriotic conduct of the Canadian people. Instead of being terrified into submission by the overwhelming majority of Lords and Commons against them, the Canadians speak out plainly, and in a manner not to be misunder stood. They resolve and declare " that government is instituted for the benefit, of the people—that the doctrine of non• resi:;iatice to arbitrary power is slavish— that it is their right to meet and to discuss whatever r dath to their privileges and rights "—and, that they, if they cannot obtain good government, will only remain subject to England until there be an opportunity of rising in arms to throw off the yoke of England. In their public papers they inform the people that - the Government of Canada have tried to suppress all adverse eXpressions of public opinion— have dismissed magistrates, judges ) and officers who , have ventured to state ith opinion in opposition to the tyrannical proceedings of the Lieutenant-Governor. We hear much of organic changes being dangerous in England, and such words are found in the neotith of Lord JOitli RUssELL on all nUasions, when he wishes to stop substantial reform ; hut we must ask his Lordship whether any Radical ever has proposed in Parliament an inroad on constitutional rights half so great or tyrannical, as he proposed in the last Ses sion against the Constitution of Lower Canada ? He and his colleagues need not now be surprised to learn, that these resolutions have been spurned and rejected, as they deserved, by every Reformer in that Province. It is somewhat singular that the Orange party in Canada, for whom his Lor4ship and the late Hou se of Commons were acting, have not approved of the inroad his Lordship has made, because it was so violent. We have before requested our readers to consider the dispute existing at this time between Lower Canada and Great Britain, as in reality the same as has ex isted for ages between Ireland and Great Britain. A small clique of Englishmen have in reality possessed themselves of all the offices, and of all the political power and profit in Canada—they refuse office to the Canadians—they refuse them honours—they refuse to pass any laws but such as will favour the few, and enable them to share more and more of the public taxes—of the public lands, and of the public offices, amongst themselves and their relations I ! These worthies call themselves Constitutionalists, and they have all the political power in the Executive and Le gislative Council, and in every respect are situated in Canada as the Orange faction were in Ireland before Lord MULGRAVE'I3 Government. The Colonial office in London supports these Constitutionalists in all their public and private acts of plunder and mis rule against the people, and leave the grievances and complaints of the people unredressed and un attended to. It is to every inquiring mind matter of very serious reflection, that the Reform Ministers in England should be professing to sympathise with the Irish Catholics against the Orange domination, whilst they support the Canadian Orangemen, and all their oppression in Canada, against the Canadian Catholics. In England and Ireland Officers of Militia, Lords Lieutenant, Meritbers of Parliament, and Magistrates, attend public meetings, end express their opinions freely on any and on all public measures, or of any act of the Ministers, public or private (and we know their language and epithets are none of the mildest), without the fear of Lord MELBOURNE or Lord JOHN RUSSELL taking any severe measures against them, to deprive them of their Commissions, or even of express ing their disapprobation of such language. We have seen a Lord Lieutenant, in Norfolk, denounce the Ministers as Revolutionists, acting with and aiding Papists and Infidels to overturn the institutions of the Government. We have seen Officers in the army and navy, militia, and Members of Parliament, attending public meetings, and denouncing the Ministers by every opprobrious epithet ; but we have not heard of any of these being dismissed from their Commissions. Not so under the Whig Governor of Lower Canada. He has issued proclamations, forbidding the people to meet and question the conduct of the Executive ; and he has cashiered officers of militia, judges, and magi strates, who have attended those meetings ! We never expected that a Member of Parliament would have been dismissed from his Commission in the militia, for attending a public meeting of the county he repre sented ; but such are the pranks now playing by the Whig Governor of Lower Canada, and so disgraceful to the Government. 'We do, indeed, express our sur prise at such conduct from Lord GOSFORD, who so long witnessed the reign of terror in Ireland ; and we, moreover, do express our surprise that Lord MEL BOURNE can give his sanction to such acts. As for Lord GLENELG, under whose orders all these acts of oppression are committed, we are, in charity, disposed to think that he does not know of them. The following extract from the Canadian newspaper will show what is going on there. It is an account of a public dinner of 517 persons, to do honour to the militia officers of St. Denis, who have been dismissed by Lord GOSFORD HONOUR TO THE DIiMISSED MAGISTRATES AND MILITIA OFFICERS. A public dinner was given on Monday last, at St. Denis, to the Magistrates and Militia of that sectio❑ of the coun try who have been lately dismissed by Lord Gosjbrd, for supporting the rights of this colony. Fire hundred and seventeen " good men and true," sat down to dinner. The nnmber on the ground was estimated at seven hundred. The greatest possible indignation was expressed against the head of the Administration. Lord Gosford has not yet seen the end of the storm he has aroused in this province. It will netr be allayed until he s mils down the St. Lawrence. One extract will also show the way that this system of terror is workin A - in that province ; and we ask her MAJESTY'S Ministers what they expect from such a system ? Matters have come to a fine pass when gen tlemen who desire to hold Commissions in the militia of Canada arc to be deemed in - famous. Think of that, Lord MELBOURNE! THIS IS THE WAY THE TERRORISM wonxs! The late dismissals from the Magistracy and Militia, by Lord Gosford, are producing very good fruit on the River Chambly. In the county of Richelieu, the people are in sisting that all the remaining officers of Militia (Magi strates there are none, now), should throw up their Com missions, as they consider it a disgrace to serve under the the present Government. One unfortunate Captain has hesitated to accede to the public wishes. The consequence is that he has been honoured nightly with a Charivari, which it is determined to keep up until he obeys. At the dinner the other day, at St. Denis, it was, we understand, solemnly resolved, to hold any man it fitmous who would hereafter accept a Commission in the Magistracy, or Militia, from the present head of the administration. The intention is seriously entertained in several Counties of this District, by the Canadians and the other Reformers, to throw up, en masse, all the Commissions which they now hold in the Militia and Magistracy, and to let the Gc vernment get along the best way it can without the aid of the people. But the following correspondence with Mr. A MIOT, Member of the 'louse of Assembly in Lower Cana:la for the County of Vercheres, will better explain how wild and tyrannical the pranks of a Whig Governor can go : ►'IVOGREtsB Or THE REIGN Or TRRLOR. Correspondence between the Civil Secretary and Pierre Amiot, Esq., J.P. Chateau St. Louis, Quebec, Aug. 8, 1837. Sir—The attention of the Governor-in-Chief having lately been called to a report, contained in the Vindicator newspaper of the 26th of May last, of the proceedings of a meeting held on the 15th of the same month, in the County of Vercheres, at which it is reported that you have taken an active part, and at which resolutions have been passed, the object of which was a violation of the laws which it is your duty to respect and maintain, I have re ceived his Excellency's orders to address you, as holding a Commission from the Crown, that you inform me if you wore or were not present at that meeting ; and, if you were, I must ask you if you have any explanation to offer in your justification.---I have the honour to be, &c., (Signed) S. WALCOTT, Civil Secretary. Pierre Amiot, Esq., J.P., Vercheres. MR. AMIOT'S REPLY TO THE ABOVE. Quebec, 18th August, 1837. Sir—l received your letter of the Bth inst. at the mo ment of my departure for Quebec. This is the reason that I have not answered it sooner. Be so good as to inform his Excellency that I did attend the meeting of the county cf Vcrcheres, which took place a long time ago, to wit., on the 13th of May last ; and in doing so, I considered I was exercising one of the most essential rights of a British sub ject. Convinced that his Excellency has no right to ask of me any explanations on this matter, I do not pretend to give him any. I s'-all confine myself to remarking, that as representa tive of the county of Vercheres, I believe it to be may duty to take an active part at a meeting, the ol?ject if which was, to protest against a flagrant violation of one of our consti tutional laws of the highest importance, and whit_th by ac cepting the trust of my constituents, I formally pledged myself to maintain in all its integrity. I have the hquvur to be, &c, PIERRE AMIOT. S. Walcott, Esq.. CIVIL SECRETARi I h Ia.IOINDER TO MR. AMIOT I S Chateau St. Louis, Quebec, Auguot ; 1.837. SIR—I have the orders of the Governor-in-Chief to ac knowledze the ft etAiit of your letter of the 18th ;;;.i int, in which you admit that you assisted at the meeting holden in the county of Verchcres, on the 15th May last, whilst you refuse to give those explanations which the Uovernor.in- Chief demanded of you in your quality of Justice of the Peace. It appears that smuggling, as well as other doc trines of ai illegal nature, was distinctly recommended at this meeting. Hi s E xce l! ency canno t a d m i t t h e expression and propagation of those doctrines as forming any part of the rights of a British subject. Under these circumstances his Excellency must conclude that you approve of, and par ticipate in, the sentiments which have been emitted at the meeting to which I have alluded. In confequence,he would be shrinking from his duty, as head of the Executive Go vernment of this province, if he permitted you to continue figuring in the magistracy or the militia. Your commissions will consequently be forthwith an nulled.-1 have the honour to be, &c. S. WALCOTT, Civil Secretary. Pierre Amiot, Esq. We ask Lord JOHN RUSSELL, does he mean to meet Parliament s and expect to have the support of sincere Reformers, if he sanctions such disgraceful proceedings as these, and also of other acts equally disgraceful, to which we shall recur? How can our colonies prosper ? How can peace exist under such a system of tyranny and . misrule ? How can they do otherwise than weaken Great Britain ? By the arrival of the Tagus steamer at Falmouth, on Sunday, we have received advices from Lisbon of the 4th, and from Oporto of the sth instant. The Tagus touched at Vigo on the 6th, to take on board the Duke of TERCEIRA and family, whose arrival in London is hourly anticipated. Since the date of the last arrivals, several important events have taken place in Portugal. After the surrender of the Chartists, the Cabinet took occasion to remind the QUEEN of the vote of the Cortes of the 31st of August, for dis missing SA LDANHA and TERCEIRA from the mili tary service, and praying her MAJESTY now to mark her approbation of the result of the conspiracy, by depriving them of their rank. The QUEEN actually refused—refused to deprive of their rank, officers under a sentence of banishment for high treason ! After expressing their surprise at a decision which proclaimed to the nation the Royal participation in the Charterist rebellion, the Ministers in a body tendered their resignations, which were accepted. The QUEEN has ordered the Viscount SA DA BANDEIRA to form a new Administration ; and until he cast suc ceed, the late Cabinet has charged itself with the ma nagement of the public business. The conduct of the QUEEN, in refusing to cashier SA LDA NHA and TERCEIRA, was equally dangerous and impolitic ; and Esc recommend the Cortes to adopt such measures as shall ensure the carrying of their re solution of the 31st of August into immediate effect. Queen DONNA MARIA has yet to learn the duties of a Constitutional Sovereign. Left to herself to adopt the councils of her husband and courtiers, she would soon ruin the country, in addition to depriving it of every vestige of freedom conferred either by the Charter or Constitution. After a debate of four days, the Cortes have re solved to establish a second Chamber, with a view of rendering the Portuguese institutions as uniform as the habits of the people will admit of, with those of Spain. A division took place on the question, when the advocates of a Senate triumphed by a majority of 64 against 16 votes. But the grand point remains to be settled—namely, whether the Senate shall be ap pointed for life by the Crown, or elected by the people for a certain number of years. Such an extension of the prerogative of the Crown of Portugal as the nomi nation of a Senate, we shall not advocate during the reign of Queen DONNA MARIA ; and we have but little doubt that the Cortes will see the question in a light different from that in which we view it. A So vereign capable of conspiring against the constitutional liberties of her people—of openly violating her own solemn oaths—of kindling a civil war in the heart of her kingdom, and doing all in her power to saturate it with the blood of her faithful subjects, is not fit to be entrusted with the uncontroulcd and irresponsible power of appointing the second branch of the consti tutional Legislature The Cortes have confirmed to Admiral NAPIER LiS original pension of 6001. per annum for life, in requital for his ►services. This is very handsome, considering the impoverished state of the National Exchequer. We trust an equal tneed of justice will be extended to General BACON and his gallant com panions in arms, and hitherto in neglect. The following order of the day purporting to have been addressed to the army by Viscount : N TAS, appeared in the Anti-English Journal the Nacional on the 30th ult. : " The 18th of September., 1837, in every respect equal to the Ist of December, 1640, shows the world that Por tugal still produces heroes ; since if the one gave to our valiant ancestors their independence, freeing-, them from a foreign yoke, and making the country a great nation, the other shows the state of our enlightenment, because it makes us recover our ancient immunities, despising the infamous policy, and the dangerous influence of the gold, by which the Cabinet of a powerful nation that, by its insu lar situation, makes subjects of every one, seeks, as it has done before, to corrupt our patriotism, and call us to obey its caprices as it might do to a colony which it had con quered." Our Ambassador, Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN, lost not an instant in calling the attention of the Go vernment to so infamous an attack upon England. The Ministers protested their ignorance of the whole affair, assuring his Excellency that they had never directly or indirectly sanctioned the publication of any document reflecting in other than the most friendly terms on the policy and conduct of Great Britain. This did not satisfy his Lordship, who insisted that this declaration should be made public, and likewise that the order of the day should he officially de n _unwed a malicious forgery—both of which terms were complied with, when it was seen that his Lord ship was really in earnest. Were such a tone always employed by our Government in Portugal, we should not have so often to complain of the insolent conduct of the Portuguese authorities, The same observation applies with equal force to the course pursued by our Government in Spain. The whole of the Paris Journals of Sunday have been received. Their contents are quite unimportant, with the exception of an article in the Courier Francais relative to the military strength of the Bey of Constantine which appears to have been greatly exaggerated. We quote it for the information of such of our readers as take a lively interest in the re sult of the Af r i can ex p e di t i on t --- Advis es have been this day received respecting the forces of the Bey of Constantine, which prove that there has been great exaggeration in almost all the information hitherto published, and among others in the Arab letter which has been published. The Aga's camp, according to the advice', does not reckon 8,000 cavalry, and the Bey's itself has not 5,000. It is calculated that Achmet has not assembled round his standard 9,000 2avalry in all. " The soldiers shut up in Constantine may amount to 4,000, but they were far from being all of them Turks, as has been said. There are not a thousand ; the remainder are Moors, Koulouglis, and Arabs. The old Algiers lin nissaries—these come from Tunis in spite of the prohibi tion==-and those sent from Tripoli, amount but to a few hundreds. We have heard, indeed, that others have been lately landed at Tripoli, no doubt to proceed to Constan tine ; but all accounts rate the men landed at only between seven and eight hundred men, and they c a nnot yet have reached the Bey!s edibi3: Notwithstanding his efforts; it does obi appear that Acbmet has gathered a siiilidient OW - fillet big gannets for his artillery ; such of his pieces as have proper earrlitges are few in number, and he trusts very little in that means of re sistance. lie hopes above all that the march of our troop; will be delayed by the difficulties of the ground, the cuttings which he has caused to be made in all directions, and even the bad season, which approaches. Such is the whole secret of his late negotiations. As for the foot soldiers composing the bulk, not the strength of his army, it is iitiiineible to calculate their number ; they are Kabayles, whose numbers increase or decrease according to circumstances, and who make war for their own account. A more important point is that of knowing with whom the intermediate tribes will side. If, as we may hope, the cholera do not re-appear—if the weather continue fine, and some success mark our first marches, it is probable that those tribes will at least oh se a neutrality. According to a correspondent of the Constitutionnel, Don CARLOS is in a dying state. The following is an extract from that Journal of Sunday : W e have received a private letter, which announces an important fact. Though it comes from one of our corres pondents, whose information invariably proves to be correct, we think that the news requires confirmation, on account of its importance : " MAnalu, SEPT. 80.—The disorder after the Carlists retir ing from the capital is a fact too notorious to require me to speak of it ; but a piece of intelligence which comes to us from good authority is that Don Carlos is on the brink of the grave. The fatigue of an incessant flight, and grief at the failure of his plans, has impaired his health to such a degree that it is necessary to carry him in men's arms, and in the moment of the most urgent danger to have him sup ported on his horse by fire or six of his attendants. Persons vrho are about him despair of his being able to live till he arrives in the Biscayan Provinces, where he intends to take refuge." The death-bed of the PRETENDER, if he be not al ready dead to every feeling of remorse, cannot fail to be terrible beyond conception. The following extract from the Ultra-Royalist organ, the Gazette de France, we leave to speak for itself. The French Legitimists will never forgive England for having been the first Power in Europe to congratulate France on the success of the Revolution of 1830 : The following fact, which we extract from a private letter from London is of the greatest importance, because it contains the first disclosure of the policy of England with regard to our possessions in Africa. This fact calls for an explanation from the Government. It is necessary that people should know whether in fact England does not recognise Algiers as a French possession. These explanations may enable us to appreciate the con duct of our diplomacy, and they may perhaps assist us to comprehend the manner by which our affairs at Algiers have been directed since 1830 : " A French vessel came to take in a cargo of coals for Algiers ; the English Custom-house officers demanded a duty of four shillings per ton ; the captain appealed to the treaty of navigation between England and France, which stipulates a reciprocity, and according to which there was no duty to pay, because he was going to convey those coals to a French possession. The Custom-house officers on the spot answered that he might apply to the Commissioners of Customs at London. The Commissioners have decided that he must pay the four shillings. because Englaad did not consider Algiers as a French possession."—Gazette de France. By the Eleanor, LAIDMAN, letters and papers have been received this morning horn Calcutta to the 3d of June. The plague, according to the latest advices, still prevailed extensively in Marwar, but its malignancy had considerably abated. A great action had taken place between the Aff ghauns and Sikhs on the Ist of May. It commenced by an attack made by the Sikhs under the command of HURREE SINGH NULWA, on the fort of Jumrood. A breach was made in the walls, and HURREE SINGH'S force attempted to storm it, but were driven back with:con siderable loss. HURREE SINGH received two sword and one gun shot wound, and fell fighting. He ap pears to have behaved very gallantly, and is reported, when dying, to have told his attendants not to men tion his death until they had deposited his body in the heart of the enemy's citadel. The Commander of the Affghauns, MAHOMMED UFZUL KHAN, was also killed in action. Seven thousand men on both sides are said to have been slain ; the victory was dearly purchased by the Affghauns. The Affghauns had since commenced a retreat. The following are the only extracts which we can give to-day Ave.—We understand that authentic intelligence has been received from the capital of Ava to the 2.-Ith April, to the effect that the Prince of Tharawadi has gained the entire ascendancy, and taken on himself the administration of the Kingdom. The capital had been invested and taken by the Prince's force, and the revolution was complete ; it appears to have been fortunately marked by an absence of bloody executions. Combining this with the intelligence that the Prince's flag was flying at Rangoon, it is clear that his authority is now very firmly, and widely esta blished. The British Residency was safe, and had been duly re •pected.—Calcuule Courier, May 27. FIRES IN CALCUTTA.—During the last week, the fires in Calcutta have been far more destructive than for many years past. The extreme drought which has rendered every thing combustible, may in part account for these extensive fires. Still, however, there is reason to suppose that some incendiaries must have been at work. The following ac count of them we extract from our Contemporaries : No less than twenty deaths occurred on Thursday. Three within the town, and seventeen in Moonshee's Bazaar. The latter number all in one house, which was situated in the centre of a bazaar, surrounded with straw out-offices. The building was pukah, and the different bazaar people immediately ran for protection there, when in an instant the whole of the houses round about were in flames, and in a short time the building came down with a crash. The property destroyed must be great. Many gentlemen have suffered, some of them all that they are worth. Mr. Reed had his own house burnt to the ground, with all his furniture. The value of the property destroyed he estimates at 30,000 rupees. Mr. Hayes, Captain Forth, Mr. Fabian, Mr. Augustin, and Mrs. Rebello had their several houses partly burnt ; also Baboo Bissonath Mooty Loll had several of his pukah houses destroyed. The number of huts within the town burnt yesterday is as follows, viz. : Gooreeab Tulloh llO Puddoopooker 5OO-1 boy and an old woman burnt to death. Taultulla lOO-1 man do. Mirzapoor and Moocheepara 1,000 From the latter place the fire crossed over the ditch, burning Moonshee's bazaar and proceeding in a straight line to the new canal, where its progress was arrested. . We hear that the engines returned at four o'clock in the morning, having been employed 16 hours. Captain Birch, Mr. McCann, and the police constables were out all that time and exerted themselves. We further hear that the superintendent saved the life of an old woman, by running into a house blazing at a fearful rate. He first threw him self into a tank, with a blanket, anti then run in, and in a few moments after was observed coming out with the old woman under his arm. He then threw himself a second time into the tank and landed safe with his burden. At the fire across the water two women were burnt to death, one of them in the family way. Another destructive fire broke out to-day in Short's Bazaar, which we hear:consumed about 500 houses. We will give particulars on Monday.—Engl. Apr. 29. FIRES.—Four large fires have broken out to-day in So babazar, Mirzapore, Brijotollah and Jaun-bazar. There were also one or two fires in Calcutta yesterday, and in the Cantonments at Barrackpore, the lines of the 73d N. I. are reported to have been entirely burnt down. In all di rections the most grievous distress has been produced by these extensive conflagrations.—Cul. Cour. Apr. 29. We had the pleasure of noticing lately a splendid entertainment given by the Reformers of North Devon to Lord EBRINGTON. That entertainment was the occasion of eliciting from the Noble Lord a speech which, judging from the abuse since poured upon the speaker by the Times, must have been very galling to the Tories. Lord EBRINGTON, whose character and talents must give authority to every thing that he litters, paid some high compliments t° the Q.U.Et:N's Ministers, and stated his fixed determination tosupport them in their Irish policy, which he considered the only policy by which Itch;id could be tramptilliied, or even preserved an integral part of the empire, utterly regardless of the cry that might possibly be raised that he was d joint of the " O'Connell tail." Berein lies the secret of the:;r rilous attack made upon his Lordship by the apostate organ of Toryism. It has been in the cootant habit of twitting every Member of the House of Commons that vvaS desirous of doing justice to Ireland, with being nothing else than the subservient tool of Mr. O'CoNNELL—ready to do his bidding on all occasions, and at sill hazards. It is possible that the fear of this accusation may have had some effect upon the minds of timid men, and that the base purpose of the Times may have been answered to a certain extent, Lord EBRINGTON, however, is tfiJi a man of that stamp. He spetiio the sentiments too of the Whigs in the House of Commons, and it is therefore doubly dis tressing to the Times to find its favourite weapon o f assault set at defiance, and the decided course of the moderate party announced by the man who may, more justly than any other, be called its leader. If we re member right, there was a time when the Times wished " there were 500 EBRINGTONs in the House of Commons." The EBRINGTON dinner has given birth, we pre sume, to what was intended to be a similar manifesta tion of respect on the part of the Tories to their representative Sir T. D. ACLAND. This trumpery affair—for such it was, notwithstanding the importance attempted to be given to it by some of the Tory or gans—took place at Barnstaple last week. We wish the North Devon Tories joy of the exhibition which their Member made of himself on this occasion. If their intention was to prove to thq world that they have been careful to avoid the imputation of send ing a representative to Parliament who would set the Thames on fire, we can assure them they have succeeded to a miracle. A more satisfactory proof of this could not possibly be afforded, than the speech delivered by the Honourable Member at this fes tival. For example, when Sir T. D. ACLAND attempts to explain his views of the course which the New Parliament ought to pursue, we find the following luminous winding up :—" lle (Sir T. ACLAND) however, saw little hopes of that good Government being attained, unless moderate men on both sides could be brought to lay aside mischievous extremes." Such is the strain in which the blundering Baronet goes on from beginning to end of a speech by no means deficient—in length. Our readers will find in another part of the Sun of this day a report of a dinner given yesterday to Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY and Mr. HALL by the Re formers of the borough of Marylebonne. At this dinner both the Hon. Members took occasion to con gratulate the company on the perfect unanimity that prevailed among the Liberal electors of the borough, thereby refuting the slanders that the Tory journals have been circulating for some time past with so much zeal and activity. Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY observed, "It could not be denied that the Reform party were weaker in this Parliament than they had been in the last ; but this circumstance was far from making him despair, as it would teach the people a great moral lesson, that it was only owing to the want of the Ballot." This is just the light in which to regard the results of the late elections. Had the Ballot been then in existence the Tory faction would have been all but extinct in the House of Commons. It is a ques tion therefore that cannot be too often brought before the public eye. It has been stated by an Evening Paper, " that her MAJESTY has signified to the Council of the King's College that she takes a warm interest in the pros perity of the institution, and has commanded that her name shall be recorded as its Patroness." We do hope that her MAJESTY takes an interest in the pros perity of that and of every other establishment for edu cation, and we hope that under her auspices a system of education, comprehensive enough to include all classes and all sects, will soon appear. In the mean time we express our doubts that her MAJESTY would go out of her way to give preferable countenance to • an institution which was established in opposition to the London, now called the University College, and thus inflict an insult on the University. We will not believe that her MAJESTY'S advisers, some of them original supporters of the London University, would recommend such an insult as her MAJESTY'S patronage to the King's, and the passing by the Uni versity College, would be. We have rejoiced at the establishment of both Colleges in the metropolis, where they were so much wanted, and we wish them both to prosper ; but, if a preference is to be given to one of them, we must say that the University Col lege, which admits all sects of religionists, deserves the patronage of a liberal SOVEREIGN in preference to the King's College, which is the place of education for one sect or class of Christians—namely, those of the Church of England. It is by its rules an exclu sive establishment, and therefore can only benefit one class of the people ; whilst the University College ad mits all ^nd benefits all who choose to attend. We again say, that we will not believe that her MAJESTY has acted on such limited and narrow grounds as to prefer the exclusive and pass by the liberal institution. We think such statements as that which we ❑ow notice from an Evening Paper ought not to be made unless correct ; and that we do not believe. It is currently reported in Vienna that the Aus tri in Government intend in the course of November to publish an official account of the revenue and expenditure of the whole monarchy. The merit of this important inno vation is attributed to Count Kolowrat. During the Emperor of Russia's stay at WO3- nesensk, on one occasion, the bands of all the regiments encamped for the manoeuvres were united, forming en orchestra of upwards of 1,500 performers. They then exe cuted the loyal melody, " God preserve our Emperor," and the effect is described as surpassing all conception. The Cracow Gazette contains a resolution of the Senate by which the 7th and 11th articles of the Constitu tion of the Republic are changed ; and by another resolu tion of the Senate an additional article is appended to the Constitution, on the subject of the administration of the police. On Saturday morning a gentleman named Rollins, of No. 10, Dudley-grove, Camberwell, cut his throat with a razor. Death immediately ensued. No cause is as signed for the commission of the rash act. MELANCHOLY AND SUDDEN DEATH.—A tall gentlemanly person, who has lodged for some time at Mr. Josling's, Red Lion, London-wall, was this morning found dead on his bed, deluged in blood. We are authorised to state that the correspondence which took place between Lord Dundonald and Mr. Henry Brooks, whose name appeared in one of our recent police reports, related exclusively to a loan of 30/. requested by the latter, upon the allegation this sum was required as a deposit in consideration of an excellent situation he was about to obtain—the Noble Lord had wished him success. but it was success in obtaining the lucrative situation of which he had spoken.—Morning Paper. Our excellent Bishop (Dr. Copleston) is still la bouring under severe illness.—Merthyr Guardian, Sept. 30. The well-known Joseph Wolff, in his unceasing wanderings, has again reached India ; much altered, it is said, for the worse in bodily health, and for the better in spirit and demeanour. He had suffered severely from fever in Sennaar and appeared milder and much less impetuous on hie return to Bombay, than he was when, two or three years ago, when he left it.—Bengal Hurkeru. A melancholy death occurred last week, in the case of a child at Murrayshall, in the neighbourhood of Perth. The tea-kettle having been taken off the fire, the infant put its mouth to the pipe, and sucked out the boiling liquid, which caused almost instant death.--Edinburgh Evening Courant.

HALF-PAST ONE. Extract of a letter from an officer of the old Bsh Legion, dated September, 1837 :—" I am just informed that General O'Donnell is on his way from Madrid, with money and bills for the Legion ; and when he comes be will be a little surprised to find half his Legion , with 14 officers, all murdered. They had a severe action y esterday (Sept. 13). I went out to Andoaine, about ten miles from this place (San Sebastian) to see it, and had left Andoaine to go to a height to have a better view, when in less than 10 minutes our men were surrounded by about 3000 Carlists, and all from the cowardice of a Spanish regiment. I have just learnt the fate of five officers and about thirty soldiers, who defended themselves in the church of Andoaine, the town where the action took place. These poor fellows were ing duced to surrender under the promise of the enemy givn them quarter, and quarter they gave them, with s! vengeance. They were all taken to Tolosa, situated about six miles from Andoaine ; and, at the ba ck of the Convent in that town, were brought out on the folio" ing morning, and were murdered in the follow ing manner, with the other poor fellows looking °°' They were brought out, one by one, by four soldiers, tvc° in the rear, who with the butt end of their muskets beat out their brains, and the other two in front, stick" ing them with their bayonets ; and the women, w ho were equally if not more inveterate, pelting them wi t " stones. The remainder of our poor fellows were mur dered on the ground. We have lost about 150 Eng lish soldiers, and about 400 Spaniards ; this loss as occasioned by two Spanish Regiments running away wwith: out firing a shot. General O'Connell has just returee?, from Madrid, and has brought nothing but promises. 45" soldiers, and 119 officers of the old Legion are now remain" ing without any means of getting to England." Up to the present hour both the British and Foreig? Markets are in an inactive state, and up to 12 o ' only one bargain in Consols was done for money.
