The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, loch a course was certainly open to any Honourable Member. th e resolution was then put and agreed to—" That e hereditary revenues of England, Ireland, and Scotland, Or anY other revenues which were the property of his late Ma i) Je st? at th e t i me o f hi s d ea th, s hould, d u ring the life of her 'tent Majesty, form part of the Consolidated Fund." "' r • HUME did not hear any thing in the Resol ution With I , ll respect to Cornwall and Lancaster. He wished to k now Wh ether the revenues of those two duchies were surrendered. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said They tcher!alnly were not. He had never for one moment considered t • tn eY were to be surrendered. The fact wa s that they did e tjass under the title of revenues of the Crown. tw i n'. HUME had great objections to the revenues of those t ° Duchies being excluded, but as the Chancellor of the I chequer had stated that they were so, he would not say o - eY thing further on the subject. There was one point, how ever, to which he wished to call the attention of the House ; 1 1 ,, at W 49 with respect to the droits of the Admiralty. He i t ecl that the time was now arrived, when the droits of the not ioiralty would be put an end to, as in his opinion there was wta more bare-faced robbery than the exaction of those dues. wh _was a robbery of the private property of individuals u had no notice of the existing state of warfare. t r ear.) The United States made a proposition to the i 'r States of Europe, by which the rights of property : ( cinging to private individuals would have been respected, ti ;.tt it was only agreed to in one or two instances. He t i Qn ght this a question that deserved the serious considers uf the House, and he hoped that early in the l in some measure would be introduced, which would W hich the country from the disgrace and opprobrium such a state of things attached to it.—( Hear, hear.) beheld it to be quite unworthy that the public service should carried on be such means, and he trusted that the House 1, °it 'd speedily take the subject into consideration. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET put some question t i . ° t he Chancellor of the Exchequer, but neither the ques 'en nor the answer could be heard in the Gallery. The House then resumed. _ SUPPLY. er HUME rose to give notice that before the House It go into a Commiitee of Supply, he should move that and emoluments instruction to the Committee that infixing the sa laries emoluments of offices in the department of the Lord c hamberlain and the Lord High Steward, reference be had 10 the charges for these departments previous to the y ear tb92, with the view to bring the expenses of such offices to e scale between 1786 and 1792. Mr. FIELDEN rose, and Lord JOIIN RUSSELL at the same time add resse d a f ew w ords to the Chair which were not au dible in the gallery. ci Mr. HUME—The Hon. Member for Oldham ought to be ti c t 'wd to proceed with is motion. He asked whether the Corn teee of Supply did mot h stand on the Orders? and if so it could AOt be postponed without a question. It was only fair that n that ques ti on the Hon. Member should have the oppor - Aity of bringing forward the motion of which he h ad g iven tree. L o T lie ( PE AKER was understood to say th at the Noble d Lord John Russell) had risen to postpone Order, and not to bring it on. The Order being Postponed, the Hon. Member for Oldham's notice would be P° liPoned with it. HLTME said that the Order could not be postponed 4hout a question; upon which question it was competent for "on. Member for Oldham to make his motion. After a few words from Lord J. RUSSELL and Mr. FIELDEN, t h e B Sir ROBERT Member PEEL said e did he notthoughto wish the interrupt t on. t ti u ght to com e to some understanding upon the new rcgula --(Cries of " Hear, hear.") If the Comm ittee of t Pply came on, it would be then, of course, consis ,lnt With the regulations that the Hon. Member's mo tion °Lild be brought on the Order of the Day ; but it would e ntirely sub ver t the regulations if a motion of wh i c h notice kd been given upon the Order should be brought fo rward ti Pon th e postponement of the Order. Mr. WARBURTON'S understanding was, that on a I t iotion being made for the House going into Committee, or ; It n the postporn merit of a Committee , an o pp ortunit y should afforded to Members of stating the subject matter of a Petition, and of observing upon it. ,Lord JOHN RUSSELL agreed with the Right Hon. t ), ‘ l-I tleman opposite, ( Sir R. Peel,) that if this matter w er e rotas gone into, it ought to he upon the House resolving itself b ei _ a Committee of Supply, and not upon the Co mmittee Postponed Would U . F. YOUNG did not see that any inconvenience result from adopting the rule laid down b y the Right Bart. . 1 . 1 .• E begged to state that he entirel y ob j ected to the o o w i e Lord' s ro osition. If the :Members were to be shut from theopPportunity of making proper stateme nts on Ir oPortant questions on Mondays and Fridays, they must m ail themselves of the only other course that was ope n to tt hem—that of presenting petitions on every day in the week. ~Mr. P. THOMPSON concurred in the view taken by the 2obl o Lord, and that the Hon. Member for Kilkenny had m isrepresented the matter. Sir R. PEEL thought nothing was so important as that the r ules l a id d own f or t h e gu id ance o f th e H ous e should be in an im partial , and intelligible form. If the rule was that an Hon. Member was prevented from bringing forward his motion on poving th e O r d er o f t h e D a y f o r Supply, with a view to its rn ".Ponement, they would be in a worse position thanfor merlyThe Government had the power of postpo nin g the order to a late hour of the night, and then bringing it a ° rvcard ; an d th e r e sult would be that an Hon. Member who ; 114 " Supply," in the paper on Monday , would g ive a notice that night inste id of Tuesday or Thursday, and the Govern et'nt might say, " This is an inconvenient notic e ; we don ' t want th Pply to-night;" and byth at means the Hon. M ember would lose opportunity of bringing forw ard his motion. He did not 1„ much find fault with the regulation, as to point out the ne 'lisity of having these rules intelligibly framed.—( Hear.) Sir T. FREMANTLE hoped the House would come to B r'ine defi n i t i ve un d erstan ding on the subject. He always under ttood that m ov i ng the Order of the Day on Supply .gave Hon. Members, an opportunity of bringing forwar d their motions. N t 'l, -.1% P. THOMSON thought the rule of the House ar• The Hon. Member had given notice of bringing on tv l s motio n on going into Committee of Supply ; they th er e not going into any Committee of Supply ; e... 11 surely the motion could not be brought on. FIELDEN then rose to move for " a Return of the 114111 e . 5 . of any of the Metropolitan Police who may have been kat to Bradford, in Yorkshire since the Ist October up to th a 22d November—the number of days they have been so e rn tr Ployed—together with the order of the Commissioners i t ' Police and the precept of the Magistrates, commanding IV authorizing the attendance of such constables at l t dford."—( Loud cries of " Hear.")

Gentleman stated that he had this morning. received. )2' Pest a hand-bill, containing a copy of a requisition, sigt.ed fleet sr u 0 or 4 ,000 individuals, requesting t he Mayor to call a p i ing of the inhabitants, for the pu r p os e of petitioning t ti 4l :2 4 ttnent to inquire into the cause of the dis de o unces at Bradford, and for the repeal ( as we un h: had the Hon. Member) of the N ew Poor Law Bill. "ad no doubt many individuals would attend that meet ' and state pretty f:cely their opinions on the subject. ad the c i v il force been employed on the 29th of November, A ! sufficient number of special constables been sworn in , a s ee.' i onday last, when a public meeting on this subject had tad held, and perfect tranquillity had been maintained, the t l e!.

He intreated it,; indulgence of the House while he entered into some of fit r easons w hy the people of Bradford were dissatisfied p o g o the Poor Law Bill. The Hon.

Gentl e m a n then drew the attentio n of the House 15 4 4 ; great nu m ber of hand-loom weavers there were in %eh -t ?ciand its neighbourhood, and said t hat the wa g es which I W ° ' them earned did not amount to more than from four likvitrigs and sixpence to five shillings per week, most of them t l i tst n r to o, three or four children. And these were the men t he House was ' entirely throwing upon their own resources. re raa ,een said that there was great ignorance prevailing in bi rig of .",tlfaturi g districts with respect to the beneficial work '4ltt L ia te new Poor-law, in places where it had been adopted. answer to that was to be found in the immense num- .- ~ THE SUN, LON DON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1837. ber of petitions which, from those very places where it was in operation, had of late been presented. Among those petitions there were 122 which were signed by as many as 63,796 persons —( Hear, hear) —praying for amendment in the new Act, and 104, signed by many thousands for its repeal.— ( Hear, hear.) That was his reply to the statement that ignorance prevailed upon the matter. Independently of these petitions, he wished to call the attention of the Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) to one which he had during the va cation received for the purpose of presenting to that House, from Stroud, from the constituents of the Noble Lord him self—( Hear, hear)—in which the petitioners prayed for the repeal of the new Act, objecting to a measure which separated the husband from the wife, and the parent from the child; to a measure which gave an almost unconstitutional power to a body of Commissioners, and in which the clauses relating to bastardy were decidedly calculated to lead to —nay, offered a premium to—infanticide. They declared their opinion that such a Bill was opposed to the principles of the Christian reli gion -4 Hear, hear)—and as for any decrease in the poor rates that might be expected from it, such a supposition was a fallacy, for that the rates would for some time to come be very much increased, owing to the great expenses of erecting workhouses, Ste. But what was there to complain of in the north, at least, in the administration of the old system of poor laws? No law ought certainly to pass that House un less it was shown that it was called for by the existence of some real grievance, rendering its enactment neces sary. As far as he had been able to learn there had been nothing to complain of in the old system, except that it was rather too severe on the poor, and that they did not ob tain that to which they were entitled. The Hon. Gentleman then entered into some statements respecting the expenditure on the Poor-rates under the old system, as contrasted with the same under the present, and said that in the West Riding of Yorkshire, of which district Bradford was about the centre, the expenditure on the Poor-rates in 1831 was at the rate of five shillings and a penny per head, whereas now in the same part of the country it only averaged three shillings and eight pence.—( Hear, hear.) What, then, was there to complain of? The Poor Laws had been well administered in the North ; and, if such was the case—if, as it appeared, the rates had been gradually going down during the last few years, it surely was most unnecessary to persist in their endeavours to carry into effect the New Poor Law Bill in the Northern dis tricts of England. The Hon. Member concluded by moving for the above returns. Mr. WAKLE Y seconded the motion. Lord J. RUSSELL had already stated to the Hon. Mem ber for Oldham his readiness to give the returns for which he moved, with some slight modifications. He would shortly state the reasons why he did not think the names ought to be given. The Poor Law Commissioners had called on the in. habitants of Bradford to form a union, and proceed to the election of a board of guardians for other purposes than the introduction of the new Poor Law. The course advised by the Poor Law Commissioners was adopted, and the conse quence was that the parties who had acted on their recom mendation had been pointed out by placards and bills posted about the town and neighbourhood as marked men. In these placards and bills they were designated as tyrants and op presiors of the poor, and in some of the paragraphs of those placards and bills nothing short of assassination was aimed at. —(Hear, hear.) This being the case, he ,was unwilling to concur in so much of the Hon. Member's motion as regarded names. The new Poor Law had, he believed, been introduced into several places in the north by desire of the boards of guar dians. This was the case at Sheffield; and, if he recollected rightly, also at Wakefield. Now, with respect to Bradford, there was no intention to make any change in the way in which relief was administered, further than to place the power exercised by overseers and vestries in the hands of the Board of Guardians. No rule or order whatever was sent down by the Commis sioners to control the discretion of the Board of Guardians : but, of course, they would not be at liberty to act otherwise than in conformity with the new law. He stated last year that if force were to be opposed to the introduction of the new Poor-laws into any of the manufacturing districts, be should feel it his duty to resist all such proceedings, and when he learned what had taken place at Bradford, and the means that were used to excite the people of that neigh bourhood to interrupt the meetings of the Board of Guar dians, he felt it necessary to direct that a military force should be in readiness to support the civil power.—( Hear.) With re spect to the sending of a military force to that town, he had no hesitation whatever in avowing that the whole responsibility of such a step rested with him, and he thought that the re presentations made to him on the subject fully authorised the course which he had taken.—( Hear, hear, hear.) When the Board of Guardians met, their proceedings were not only interrupted, but an assault was made by the populace on the house in which they were. Many of the persons composing these mobs did not, he bad reason to believe, belong to Brad ford, but had been brought there for the special purpose of rioting.—(Hear, hear.) When, however, it was found that the proceedings of the Board of Guardians could not be pre vented, the people dispersed, and all went off quietly and with out further disturbance.—(Hear, hear. It was not his wish to enter into the question as to the introduction of the new Poor laws into the manufacturing districts. This, however, be would say, that, although the abuses under the old system were not so great in the north as in the south, still, as there were places in the north in which abuses did exist, it was ne cessary to correct those abuses as far as possible. He thought also that it was desirable to have one uniform system pervading the whole country ; and certainly, as far as he was concerned, he would do nothing to discountenance such an attempt, no mat ter where it might, be made. At the close of the last session he stated to the Lord-Lieusenant of the West Riding of York shire, that it would be best not to introduce the new Poor Laws into any places of the north except where there was a facility for doing so, and to this opinion he still adhered.— ( Hear.) With regard to the correspondence mentioned in the latter part of the Hon. Member's motion, as having taken place between Mr. Power, the Board of Guardians, and the Commissioners, all he could say was, that there was no record of any such correspondence in the office of the Commissioners. Of course, it would be out of the Commissioners' power to give such a correspondence ; but still, so far as the correspon dence which had taken place, and of which they were in pos session, could be produced, without injury to the public ser vice, he had no hesitation in saying that it should be laid on the table, if the Hon. Member desired it. Mr. FIELDEN would withdraw so much of his notice as related to the names of the London policemen, but he must press for the production of the correspondence, in order to ascertain who the parties ,were who were responsible for the assembling of a military force at Bradford. Lord J. RUSSELL had already stated that he was the party responsible for the employment of the military on the occasion referred to. After some conversation as to form betwken the SPEAKIR and Mr. FIELDEN, Lord J. RUSSELL withdrew his motion for going into Supply, in order that Mr. Fielden's notice might stand as an original motion, and then moved, as an amendment, the omis sion of the names. Mr. BRISCOE said there was one fact stated in the course of the discussion which had struck him with great force. It appeared that in the district of Bradford there were 95,000 hand-loom weavers who were able to earn no more than from 4s. 6d. to ss. a week. These parties must have been allowed relief under the old system or they could not have lived, and therefore their resistance to the new, which would deprive them of all relief, was a matter almost to be expected. It was perfectly idle to suppose that hand-loom weavers could compete with the power-looms, and until these persons were induced to abandon their trade and seek employment in other pursuits, he could see no means by which their situation could be bettered. Mr. G. F. YOUNG, though opposed to the new Poor.laws had felt it his duty not to interfere with their operation. They might answer in agricultural districts, but certainly they never would in the manufacturing districts, where large masses of the labouring population were frequently thrown out of em ployment suddenly End without notice. He thought it any thing but right to send the metropolitan police on missions of this sort to different parts of the country. They were in tended for insuring the peace and tranquillity of the metro polis, and the inhabitants of London paid 60,000/. a year for that purpose. Mr. BROTHERTON had opposed the new Poor-laws on the ground that they ought not to be made applicable to the manufacturing parts of the country, and because everything he had heard had convinced him that their introduction in such places would be imoracticable. Mr. GRIM SDIt CH read returns from certain northern districts, to show that the number of persons who received parochial relief in these districts, were so great, as to prevent the possibility of their being contained in any workhouse, how ever large. Mr. DARBY thought that some alteration of the new Poor-laws must be made in favour of those who had married under the old system. If no other Honourable Member took the subject up, he would feel it his duty to move for leave to bring in a Bill, either for altering the allowance system in this respect, or taking a portion of the children of those who had married, uder the faith of the old law, into the work house.—(earn H ) Lord J. RUSSELL said the workhouse test had hitherto been found to answer wherever it had been tried, and he was afraid that it would only lead to fresh difficulties if they were now to relax that test. After a few words from MT. DARBY, Mr. BROCKLEITURST, and Mr. BRISCOE, the motion, as amended, was put and agreed to. The Order of the Day for going into Committee of Supply was then postponed to Wednesday next. SHERIFFS COURTS (SCOTLAND). The LORD ADVOCATE obtained leave to introduce a Bill to regulate the constitution, jurisdiction, and form of pro telensins a i nn also Sheriff' n bt s n n C e o d u rltesa ve t S n c o i r t . l t a r n ai d n . e T a h B e i Ito Right r n l a i k o n n . G en certain_ alterations in the duties of the Lords Ordinary, and in the establishment of clerks and officers of the Court of Session and Court of Commission for Teinds in Scotland, and to ro duce the fees payable in those Courts. POOR LAW AMENDMENT ACT. Mr. G RIM SD ITC H moved for a return of the population of each of the several unions formed under the Poor Law Amendment Act, which comprise the manufacturing towns of Nottingham, Manchester, the Potteries, Stockport, Maccles field, Oldham, Ashton, Bolton, Bury, Blackburn, and Preston, the respective dates when each of these unions was established, the number of workhouses used in each union, the number of paupers relieved in each union during each quarter up to tin 29th of September, 1837, distinguishing the number of pau pers who have received out-door relief and those who have been relieved in the workhouse in each of such unions. Also, a statement of the expense of in-door and out-door relief res pectively during the aforesaid period. The motion was agreed to without opposition. COURT OF SESSION (SCOTLAND). Mr. WALLACE wished to call the attention of the House to the petition of Mr. Henry Jones, complaining of the dila- tory proceedings of the Sessions Court in Scotland. They had a discussion a few days ago about the Danish claims, and he thought that they would find money enough to satisfy those claims within five years, if they appropriated to that purpose the salaries of the useless Judges in Scotlar.d. They were to have a Committee upon the Pension List, but they ought to have a Committee to inquire into the sinecure offices of the Judges of the County Courts in Scotland, as well as to those who were not required in the Court of Session. There were in all fourteen Judges who did not sit more than five months in the year, not longer, on the average, than two hours a-day, during that period. These Judges were, moreover, far ad vanced in life. One of them was between eighty and ninety years of age, and the others were of far advanced years. The statement of the present petitioner was, that he was an inhabitant of Upper Canada, and that the lawsuit which brought him over to this country had been pending for four years, and that he suffered great inconvenience and Injury from the dilatoriness of these proceedings. He had had reason to expect a trial of his case during the Christmas recess, but he now found that the trial was to be postponed to March next, which would make it altogether four years since the commence ment of the proceedings. This delay wes the more extraordi !lag as in criminal cases they had a very efficient and prompt jurisdiction. The Honourable Member proceeded to complain that, though a law commission for Scotland had now been sitting for several years, yet they had only made two reports, although so far back as February, 1837, they had been pro mised another report, which had not yet made its appearance. He concluded by giving notice that he should move that the present law commission for Scotland should be dissonti• nued, and that it should be referred to a Select Committee to inquire into the nature of the jurisdiction of the Civil Courts in Scotland. Mr. BROTHERTON moved the adjournment of the House. The LORD ADVOCATE said, the Hon. Member was quite mistaken in his statement respecting sinecure Judges. There was one eminent Judge of great age, but remarkable for preserving undiminished his great powers, and that Judge, feeling himself perfectly able to do so, still continued in the performance of his duties. He did not think that whilst a Judge was competent to the discharge of his duties he should be expected to resign them ; and the Hon. Member ought also to recollect that when that Judge retired from his office he would be entitled to a retiring pension. Now, with respect to these sinecure Judges, he would remind the Hon. Member that a Select Committee had sat to inquire into the duties and salaries of those Judges, and that Committee had reported that those salaries were inadequate. With respect to t Law Commission, he believed the Commissioners themselves would be the last to object to be relieved of their duties. During the whole time they had acted gratuitously, and whenever their report was laid before the House, he was sure that it would be found to be a great boon and a great advan tage to the country. The House then adjourned, at Eight o'Clock, to this day. NEWSPAPER STAMPS. On the motion of Mr. Bulwer, a Return was ordered " of the number of Stamps issued by the Stamp- Office for all Newspapers in Great Britain and Ireland, from 30th June to Ist November 1837; specifying each Newspaper by name, and the number of Stamps issued each month during that period to each Newspaper."

MEDICAL EXTORTION AT PARIS. THE CASE OF THE COUNTESS OF LINCOLN AND THE DOCTORS KOREFF AND WOLOWSKI. TRIBUNAL OF THE FIRST INSTANCE. The proceedings in this cause, adjourned from the Ist inst., were resumed on Friday. The Court was even still more crowded than during the first days' proceedings, and the seats reserved for the Members of the Bar were unceremoniously invaded by the public. Several persons of distinction were present, and amongst them we remarked the Marquis of Dou glas, at the right hand of whom was Mr. Oakey, Counsel of the British Embassy. The Earl of Lincoln was absent, hav ing, as we have already mentioned, returned to England with the Countess, to attend to his Parliamentary duties. After the disposal of two or three unimportant cases, this cause, which excited the most intense interest amongst the public, was called. The circumstances of the case have been already stated. M. Chaix d'Est-Ange and M. Cremieux having addressed the Court for Doctor Wolowski, and M. Berryer having re plied for the Earl of Lincoln, The Court pronounced a judgment, of which, omitting the merely formal part, the following is the conclusion:— From these motives, the tribunal, finding no room to decide on the demand of the security, judicatum solvi admits the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton to intervene may on the de mand of the Earl of Lincoln, tending to the delivery of the notes confided to the physicians, puts them out of the cause fur the surplus, gives acknowledgment to Doctors Koreff and Wolowski of their having detistrd from their demand for payment of fees, gives acknowledgment to the Earl of Lincoln that, in remitting, or causing to be remitted, to Doctors Wolowski and Koreff, the said sum of 24,000 francs, lodged before the proceedings with Messrs. Frerrcre Laffitte, and destined specially by the family to the said Doctors Wolowski and Korff, the latter will be more than justly and amply rewarded for their fees and salaries on account of their medical attendance on the Countess of Lincoln, avid drawing up of the journal of her malady, and by means of this offer declares the Earl of Lincoln liberated, and the demand of Doctors Koreff and Wolowski unfounded ; authorises the Earl of Lincoln to withdraw from the hands of Laffitte the 6,000 f. exceeding the 24,000 f. offered; condemns Doctors Koreff and Wolowski, to deliver to the Earl of Lincoln the compliment of the journal of the Countess of Lincoln's malady, the notes written by the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton, the Earl and Countess of Lincoln, and the brother of the latter, and even those which may have been partly written by the physicians, decides that the said delivery shall take place within a fortnight from the notifica tion of the present judgment, if not, and in the event of their failure, to make it within the said delay, condemns them in solido to pay to the Earl of Lincoln, the sum of 100 f. for each day's delay, and during a month, at the expiration of which time and in default of execution, proceedings shall take place; declares the Earl of Lincoln's demand for da mages unfounded, and that, of the mass of expenses, one eighth part shall be supported by the Earl of Lincoln, and the . surplus by Doctors Wolowski and Koreff, each to the a mount of one half.

It is diffi cult to judge of the extent to which a similar feeling as that embodied in these addresses may prevail throughout Ger many, since, owing to the slavish subjection in which the press of that country is held, no newspaper dare give insertion to such documents : TO PROFESSORS F. C. DAHLMANN, E. ALBRECHT, JACOB GRIMM, WILHELM GRIMM, H. GERVINUS, H. EWALD, AND WILHELM WEBER, AT GOTTINGEN. GENTLEMEN—The undersigned inhabitants of Kiel have been favoured with a copy of the declaration made by several members of the University of Gottingen with regard to the patent of the reigning King of Hanover, with the date of the Ist Nov., 1837, and deposited in the curatorium of this Uni versity on the 18th of the same month. The undersigned are not, it is true, natives of Hanover, nor subjects of the Prince who has thus arbitrarily taken from the country the rights bestowed upon it a few years ago by the justice of its then government. But they inhabit a German land, which has claimed its right to a funda mental law, such as that which has just been abrogated in the neighbouring state of Hanover, and which for more than a century has belonged to Schleswig Holstein. They claim to be Germans—Germans by birth, by sentiments, and by that love for justice and truth which animates the rest of their countrymen, and for the rights which have at all times belonged to German states, and which have lately been gua ranteed to them by royal promise. They await the fulfilment of this promise, strong in hope and in patience, as it is becom ing to Germans. In the name of Germans this declaration is made, so that Hanover, before it arrives at the full know ledge of all the circumstances of its position, may have the example of the past to guide its conduct in a matter wherein its dearest interests are involved. In this inquiry the name of that man will guide them on who was once a citizen of this town and member of the Schelswig Holstein University. and who always stood forward the bravest in defence of the country's rights in all its struggles. What he could not con qu r for our ancient fatherland, his decided and steadfast opinions will aid in obtaining for the new. These are the motives which have induced the undersigned to make the pre sent publication of their sentiments. We are prevented from making known our thoughts in this matter to all the natives of Germany by the deplorable con straint under which the German press at present lies. Even in the journals of free Hamburg the publication of your de-. claration was denied. Under these circumstances, we hereby send to you, most worthy end noble Germans, this acknow ledgment of the deep sense we feel of the benefits you have conferred, not only upon the freedom of Hanover, but of the German people in gene ra l, by y our patri o tic and manly declaration ; and our best wishes for a satisfactory conclu sion to the good work you have so well begun. The injustice which has been inflicted on Hanover by the par tial abrogation of the Constitution is deeply felt—we dare not doubt of it—over all Germany ; and this much at least has been evident from the remarks of the press since the remission of the patent of the sth of July. In spite of reiterated assurances to the contrary, we are convinced that we do not delude ourselves, or make any over-estimation of the feelings with which the inhabitants of . Hanover regarded the overthrow of their Constitution, as well when such a con summation was as yet but feared as when the threat had ripened into fulfilment. But from feeling to doing is still a wide step I You are those whom your fellow-citizens look up to for one act which you have accomplished without fear ing the consequences which might have accrued to you-selves. Taught by your example, these subjects whose rights have been thus infringed by the Sovereign see the course they should adopt, and the legal weapons they ought to employ, in order to reconcile the duty they owe to the Prince with that which they owe to their country. Such is the impression made upon us by the discreet and measured tone of your declaration. Most fully do we share your views, that the efficacy of University teachers depends as much upon the philosophical worth of their instruction as upon their personal blamelessness, and as deeply as you do we feel that the self-esteem of men, and their outward honour, can never be so much degraded as when, acting against justice and their own conzcience, they trifle with their oaths. Receive our thanks for the honourable deed, whose high value we feel in the innermost recesses of our bosoms. The will that leads men on to deeds it is which can alone judge what is to be the result. We know this, that your high minded self-immolating action increases your individual worth, although the consequences you anticipated may not ensue. At all events, accept our sincere good wishes that it may not have been in vain. May your good action and example become as well known over all Germany as they are here, and may their consequences be richly beneficial in other States and nations; then will the power of monarchs who have infringed liberty, be obliged to give way before the unanimous feeling of their people, and not only Hanover, but otheir German States, place, forever beyond the reach of danger, the rights for which the German people have made so many painful sacrifices.

We are now able to give the speeches of the deputations o the University of Gottingen, and of the magistrates and citi zens of that city, to his Majesty our most gracious King, on the 30th of last month, at Rotenkirchen, and also his Majesty's answer to them : ADDRESS OF M. EBELE, CHIEF MAGISTRATE OF GOTTINGEN, AS MEMBER OF THE DEPUTATION OF THE MAGISTRATES AND CITIZENS OF GOTTINGEN TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING. " The deputies of the magistratestiii; town of Gottingen approach your Majesty, in order to express, in the name of all the citizens, the sentiments of devoted attachment and invio lable fidelity (which no circumstances will be able to shake) to your Majesty's august person, and, at the same time, to de clare their sincere sorrow that some professors of the George Augustus University, wholly mistaking their position, have taken steps which are universally disapproved by the citizens. We beg your Majesty to be pleased graciously to accept the assurance that the citizens of Gottingen, who feel happy at being subject to the sceptre of so gracious and just a Monarch , will ever make it the object of their most zealous endeavour to show themselves worthy of your Majesty's gracious intentions." His Majesty was pleased to answer : " GENTLEMEN have never doubted the loyal sentiments of attachment to me of my beloved subjects, and particu larly those of Gottingen. If some professors of that Uni versity, unmindful of their situation and their duties, have expressed their disapprobation of my patent of the Ist of this month, and it has even happened that an Address of these professors, intended only for the Curatorium of my Univer sity, has been made public, my paternal heart could not but feel regret, especially for the interest of the University ; however, I rely too firmly on the good disposition of the citizens of Gottingen, which, in 1831, suffered, and was made to waver, by foreign influence only : and it is, therefore, espe cially agreeable to me to receive from you, gentlemen, the assurance that the citizens of a city in which I passed such happy years in my youth are animated towards me with the sentiments which are always the brightest ornaments in a Monarch's Crown. I request you to acquaint your fellow citis,ns with what has passed here." ADD tESs OF THE PRO-RECTOR OF THE GEORGE AUGUSTUS UNIVERSITY, AS DEPUTY FROM THE LATTER TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING, IN PRESENCE OF TIIE DEANS OF THE FOUR FA CULTIES. " The University of Gottingen, but lately gratified by your Majesty's goodness at the celebration of the Jubilee, feels itself bound, by the inconsiderate step of some of its professors, to which neither the pro-rector nor the deans here present had any previous knowledge, to express to your Majesty, by the organ of us, its deputies, the sentiments of unlimited confi dence in your Majesty's paternal intentions, and of inviolable fidelity to their Sovereign. " Though it might be safely assumed that these steps of the professors in question did not properly originate in in, will, but rather in want of reflection and momentary excite ment, and if, also, the conviction of the deputies who have the happiness to appear before your Majesty is, that the publication of the memorial of the seven professors o? the Georgia Augusta, lately addressed to the Curatoritim of your Majesty's University, did not proceed designedly from these professors, but may be ascribed to an inconsiderate com munication to third parties, the Georgia Augusta, in feelings of the most faithful attachment to your Majesty's august per son, must deeply lament what has taken place, but, at the same time, believe it might cherish the cheering hope that your Majesty will continue your undiminished favour to the University." ANSWER OF HIS MAJESTY. " GENTLEMRN—Your appearance here at the present mo ment is a guarantee of your sentiments ; I have enter tained as little doubt of their sincerity as of the loyal attachment of the University of Gottingen. The more disagreeably, however, was I surprised at finding prin ciples expressed by seven professors of tha University in a memorial lately received by the Curatorium, by which not only untenable, erroneous notions according to which these professors would consider themselves in some measure as a third independent power in the State, with the socation to criticise the acts of the Sovereign, and even, according to circumstances, refuse to recognise them, but bad inten tions, would be clearly manifested, if it could be assumed that the memorial presented by these seven professors to the Curatorium, which appeared in public journals, namely, the French journals, before it reached the Curatorium, had been published by themselves. The necessary proceedings against those professors on this account will be immediately insti tuted. I must deeply regret that these steps of the pro. fessors may easily throw an unfavourable light on the Uni versity of Gottingen, or lead to consequences prejudicial to it. I must the more regret this as it is my earnest desire to maintain the ancient reputation of the University, where I spent such happy years in my youth ; but you, gentlemen, will yourselves be sensible that I cannot leave men who have expressed such opinions as those professors to inculcate those principles which they have advanced into the minds of youth. lat least, as a father, would never send my son to a university whose there are such professor s. However, I re joice that, as far as I know, there is only one native Ha noverian among these seven professors, who, as foreigners, can have no knowledge of what the welfare of the country re quires, nor can have the same love for our country as native Hanoverians. " I have also, in the sentiments which you, gentlemen, ex press a welcome pledge that the infatuation of smite can have no bad effect on the good spirit of the venerable Georgia Au gusta."—Hanover Gazette, Dec. 7.
