HAMBURGH, DEC. 12. ® N approach of the COMMENCEMENT of N... 7 JANUARY, all those who may have to write to us before that time, are requested to do so without delay, and to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 101 , 201 , or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is thgre fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive Money from Hamburgb, to receive the same in One Note, when ever pi.ssible. Of course remittances from Hamhurgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. We request not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGH. P. S. To persons having to remit Si., on receiving a Ten Pound Note, we return Two Pound in the cheapest way possible.

The Reform Dinner, which took place at Bath on Thursday last, is one of those important signs of the times, which Ministers will do well to take heed to. It is a d e t erm i ne d, s t ra i g ht-forward ex p re ssion of opi nion on the part of some of the most influential Re formers of th e day, who do not, however, merely speak their own sentiments, but those of the vast mass of the community. In the opinions broached at the Bath dinner, we read the opinions of the people—of that united, irresistible body, by whom the Reform Bill was carried, the Tories turned out of office, and the Whigs reinstated. 'Tis in vain to deny this fact. 'Tis in vain to Say—that Colonel NAPIER is merely giving utterance to the sentiments of Colonel NA PIER ; or that Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH and Messrs. LEADER and ROEBUCK are merely ex- pressing what should be, instead of what are, the feel ings of the community—every day's experience proves directly the reverse. And what is the tendency of the public mind as developed by these practised Reformers? Why, unquestionably, towards a prompt, decided move ment in the path of national improvement. There is no distrust of—no apathy towards—Ministers ; far from it : the present Government is in full possession of the confidence of the Many ; but only from a firm, popular conviction that it will take warning by the events of the last session, and pursue its course with steadiness, energy, and indomitable perseverance. Let but Mi nisters waver—let them but evince the slightest appre hension ; and from that moment their doom is sealed. We see a brilliant - career before them, if they will but dare ; but nothing but shame, sorrow, and disappintment, if they shrink back, when they should he pressing onward. Lord MELBOURNE, we sincerely believe, is honest ; others of the Cabinet, we hope, are so ; but all must give sound practical proofs 4 : l f their integrity, if they would desire still to rule the destinies of England. Whigs and Tories are not now .--whatever they may once have been—the only two keeognised parties in the kingdom. The Reform Bill has introduced into active political existence a third party—the people ; and from this, should the Whigs 'raver or play false, their successors—let the Court and the Clubs say what they will—will inevitably be Chosen. The people are bent upon real, not sham— 'llPeu prompt, not sluggish—Reform ; and this they bin have, though Whig and Tory should alike com e too ppose it. But as we said before, we enter tainno distrust of Ministers. We aecord them a ge ueroue,„ though not a blind, confidence. We question their sincerity, though we still keep our hands on our t nateh-l oc k s . We walk side by side with them, thou al l b We still walk armed, in case of surprizes. In critical periods it is always well to be prepared against reverses, fort hu s only difficulties are surmounted, and Zuccesses Placed beyond a doubt. If • r ightly interpreted , Ministers will re ad n othing in t he sentiments s poken at the Bath dinner but what is friendly to them, Colonel NAP:ER, it is true, spoke a few stern, h ome _ truths ; but this in no hostile, or ca pricious, or i as he would j aundi ced's • 't butsimply , advise and remonstrate with a friend in whose welfare he felt the warmest • interest. The Gallant Colonel never troubles himself with throwing out hints to the Tories ; no, he gives them up, f or he clearly sees they are incorrigible ;but of Ministers he has hopes—strong hopes ; hence his well-mea nt remonstrances. The same earnest, friendly spirit pervades the speeches of Messrs. ROEBUCK, LEADER, and Sir W. iTI Aft OLESWORTH, who, uttering the sentiments of the Many , frankly told Mi nisters, that they must away with hesitation and luke 'warmness ; buckle on their armour; put themselves at time the war-cry of "En Avant," and give battle to the Co nservatives, with the determination to contest the .field inch )y inch ; to fight hand to hand ; and not give way till their foes were utterly routed. Justly observ e d Si r W M . M OLESWOR T 11, Ministers must make the Ballot and Triennial Parliaments open questions. When we bear in mind the surprising pro gress that these two questions (the former especially) have made within the last few years ; and that the Septennial Act is a glaring violation of the forms of the Constitution—an Act passed hastily and for a particular purpose—when, we repeat, we re member this, we do not see how Government can do otherwise than act towards these questions as the Tories acted towards Catholic Emancipation. We do not call on Ministers for any lavish display of gene rosity—for such a word is not to be found in the vo cabulary of Statesmen, expediency being uniformly its substitute—but we do call upon them, and call confidently, too, for justice. We ask them to solve worthily that great political problem, the Reform Bill ; to bear in mind its scope and tendency ; and above all, and before all, that it was intended for the protection of the Many against the usurpation of the Few. By making open questions of the Ballot and Triennial Parliaments, Ministers will be only doing justice to themselves as Reformers, and confirming the sagacity of the people, who expect, and with confi _ _ _ dente, thus much at their hands. Mr. LEADER'S observations on Peerage Reform, were in the shrewdest possible spirit ; and never did he speak more correctly, or to the point, than when he said that the events of the last Session ,had convinced the country that this Reform could not be much longer staved off with impunity. Yet, let us not forget that it is not the people who have brought this question so prominently forward, but the Lords ; who, idiots as they are, first hack away at their own throats, and then charge others with the murderous assault. If the Peers exist, as an irresponsible body, much longer, they will bring political suicide into fashion. By all means, therefore, let them be shorn of their unmerited privileges, and public morality will be the gainer. We cannot close these hasty remarks without again impressing on all Reformers the necessity of union. Away with all petty distrusts—all petty jealousies. They only weaken the cause they would fain give strength to. Let us fraternize, and place reliance on each other. Why should we differ on trifles, when on all great cardinal points we are united ; and when the only result of our captious differences is to place arms in the hands of our worst enemies ? United, we are irresistible. Divided, we are at the mercy of the Tories. Up to the hour at which we write (half-past two 'clock, P. NI.), the French Papers of Thursday have not been received. The Reformers of Ayrshire lately gave a public dinner to Mr. DUNLOP of Dunlop, the Representa tiVe of the county. The attendance was numerous and highly respectable. The Hon. Gentleman to whom this mark of respect was paid, on his health being drunk, made a speech, of which, with the ex ception of one important point, we cordially approve. In alluding to the progress of Reform,Mr. DUNLOP expressed the opinion of every true Reformer in th kingdom, when he stated that much less had been done by Ministers and by Parliament than the Re formers at the passing of the Reform Bill expected would be done. Did the Hon. Gentleman therefore lay the blame of this inadequate result of the Reform Bill, and of the mighty popular exertions made to achieve it on Ministers or on the House of Com mons ? Far from it. He declared that neither were to be held responsible for this disappointment of the pub lic expectations, and the declaration was loudly cheered by the Reformers of Ayrshire. To whom then is the blame to be attributed ? What has stopped the progress of national improvement? Mr. DUNLOP answers at once as every other honest man would answer—the Lords . " It must" said he to the people of Ayrshire " be fresh in your recollection that various measures introduced for the amelioration of the condition of the people, both of this country and of Ireland, have been carried, as far as it was possible for the Government and the Commons to carry them, but have been lost in another place."—(Cries of " Shame.") The speaker then went on to point out the course that a patriotic House of Lords should follow, namely " That they should study to legislate for the benefit, not of a few, but of the whole country, and with sincere and deep consi deration for the welfare of the people at large, inde pendently of all party politics." The loudest applause followed the utterance .of those sentiments. The charge brought against the MELBOURNE Ad ministration, that it is carried away by fanciful theories instead of studying to bring forward practical mea sures, Mr. DUNLOP met by enumerating a few of the more prominent measures of the Government. " There is no theory," said the Hon. Gentleman, "in the repeal of fou: millions of taxation.— (Cheers.) There is no theory in the amount of salaries saved, 259,0001.,—there is no theory in the many other reductions which have been effected—there is no theory in the abolition of slavery, that crowning measure of benefit to the general cause of civiliza tion and humanity—there is no theory in that measure which recognises Churchmen and Dissenters as one and the same body (Cheers) all equally the subjects of the Crown of Great Britain. We wish to do justice to England and Scotland, and are determined to do justice to Ireland.— (Loud ap plause.) Had we suffered a party who had been baffled in Scotland and defeated in England, to dominate in Ireland, there would have been fewer attempts to play upon the fears of the timid—there would have been no cries so earnestly re-echoed of the Church in dan ger.'—(Cheers.) We would not rest our claim to the confidence of the nation on the several measures we have yet effected, but on our avowed object of do ing justice to every man."—(Cheers.) Mr. DUNLOP, we are sorry to find, is not yet a con vert to the Ballot, and he openly states the fact to his constituents. This is honest and straightforward deal- big, however much the opinion itself is to be regretted. Mr. DUNLOP thinks that as the franchise is a trust, it should be exercised under the responsibility of publicity. But this aroment has no force whatever in our view of the case, because, with the protection of the ballot, the voter can have nothing to bias hid opinion, or to make him swerve from following the dictates of his conscience, and the good of his country. Snow-storms are fatal to Toryism at home and abroad. Every body remembers how a snow-storm served poor Sir ROBERT PEEL upon the opening of the last Session of Parliament. His Premiership's majority of a hundred " staunch Conservatives" were buried in it, and their luckless remains are yet to be discovered. The result was the downfall of the PEEL Administration. This is indisputable, inasmuch as the Times declared it was the snow, and not the Liberals , that swamped the majority of England's pet Premier. What the snow did in England for the Liberals, it is stated by the Times and the Post—a pair of precious authorities truly !—to have done in Spain for the Christinos. " But for the snow," shout these wor thies in concert, " Bilboa would have been taken by the Carlists." Very possibly, were the Christinos not to come to its relief. But was not the circum stance of a heavy fall of snow more favourable to the Carlists, quietly entrenched in their quarters, than to the Christinos, who had to march for several leagues, to force the passage of two rivers, and— knee-deep in mud—to fight an enemy ensconsed be hind breastworks ? Every circumstance of the weather and the night was in favour of the Carlists. They had suffered no previous fatigue—they came fresh to th e conflict—and frightened, of course, not by the Christinos, but the snow, they fled I This is the Tory version of the affair—and a droll one it is. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1837. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) NEW COURT. James Wishart was indicted for intermarrying with Sarah E. Lishman, on the 18th of February, 1833, and afterwards, on the 3d of September, 1836, with . having contracted a marriage with Miss Jane Powell, at Islington church, the said Sarah E. Lishman being then alive. Mr. PRICE appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. CLARK SON for the defence. Mr. Williams, the clerk of St. Mary, Newington, pro duced the registry of marriages, which confirmed the alle gation of the first marriage. He could not swear to the identity of the prisoner. Joseph Roberts proved the celebration of the second mar riage, on the 3d September, 1836. Jane Powell deposed to her having being married to the prisoner, on the 3d September, 1836. For the defence it was contended that the first marriage was illegal, as Sarah E. Lishman was at the time a mar ried woman, whose husband, a Mr. Collins, was then alive. It appeared she described herself in the registry as a spinster. The Jury found the 'prisoner guilty. After which the Common-Sergeant said he understood Wishart was the man who had married five or six women. He ordered an in quiry to be made, before marking the sentence. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

In 1835 the arri vals of British ships, in the year ending on the 12th, were 2,484, the tonnage 421,978 tons ; and of foreign ships 544, tonnage 108,678. In the past year 2,253 British ships en tered the port of London, with cargoes of the tonnage of 465,099 tons ; and 901 foreign ships, of the tonnage of 156,563 tons. It will be observed that the principal in crease has been in foreign vessels, which is 357 against 169 British ships.

Houghton Forest, an extensive beach wood belong ing to his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, and situated three miles northward of Arundel, has been the resort of immense flocks of wood pigeons far beyond the powers of computa tion. These migratory birds arrived just before the gales we lately had from the S.W., and migrated on Friday se'n night westward, immediately before we had wind and snow from the N. and E. The flavour of these birds is very de licious ; they are very fat, from the quantity of beach-mast there is this year in the woods, a food to which they appear to have entirely confined themselves.--Brighton Gazette. COURT CIRCULAR. A meeting of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt,was held yesterday at the Treasury. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Governor and De puty-Governor of the Bank of England were present. Mr. Higham, Secretary to the Commissioners, was in attendance.

The journal hoped that it would be speedily effected, and that the day might not be far distant when " their land would not pos sess a custom-house or a revenue officer, when trade would be as free as the waters that washed their shores, and when ships of all tongues and nations would be free to come and go without having to pay one sixpence of duty."
