BRIGHTON, Ort: o,—At three o'clock this afternoon her IVlajeSty rode out on horseback, and was tzecompanied by her illustrious mother, the Duchess of Kent. On her Majesty's right hand rode the Marquis of tiendfort ; andon her left the Marquis of Conyivl:am then ilatiwcd Ba roness Lchten i Miss billon, Miss Quinten, Sir George Quintem Mr, Foiard, and suite. The royal party rode through Castle-square, leading to the cliffs. Sir Philip Durham will take his departure to-Morrow. Tho Admiral intends payilig a short visit to Captain Peellell, at Castle Goring, from whence Sir Philip will proceed to Portsmouth by land, to resume the command of that port. Amongst the fashionable arrivals hem since the visit of her Majesty, are the Hon. Miss Vesey, Bishop of Chichester, Earl of Cork, Bishop of Nova Scotia, Admiral Sir John Wells, Hon. Miss Broderick, Hon. Mrs. Warrender, Sir Richard and Lady Hunter, Captain and Hon. Mrs. Pe chell, Colonel and Lady Cathcart, Lady Clifford, Sir G. and Lady Pocock, Dowager Countess of Poulett, Hon. General and Mrs. St. John, Earl of Westmoreland and Lady Georgiana Fane, Baron Gurney, Sergeant and Mrs. Goulburn, Sir Patrick, Lady, and the Misses Ross, and the Earl and Countess of Bosse. At the time the Queen attained her majority, a Com mittee was appointed to collect subscriptions for the purpose of erecting a fountain in the southern enclosure of the Old Steyne, in commemoration of that event. The demise of William the Fourth, shortly afterwards, put a stop to the arrangement, and other matters occupied the attention of the inhabitants. About 3001. however, was collected, and the inhabitants are now desirous of knowing vvh . at is to be done with the money. Some are for carrying the original project into effect, while others object to it on the ground of the continual expense of keeping it in play, and propose that some other structure should be raised which will not force the inhabitants to be continually putting their hands in their pockets. Since the erection of the rustic arch, at the northern entrance to the town, for the reception of her Majesty, an idea has suggested itself to the minds of some of the " Birthday Committee" that a permanent arch, con structed of stone, would be an interesting object at that part of the town, and one worthy of the event which it was designed to celebrate. A meeting of the Committee is to be held tomorrow evening to take the subject into con sideration. COURT CIRCULAR.

Asgsts IN TIIE COLONIES.—Amongst ihe tiumberlets griek7inces of Which the Colonies complain, then one—the holding of incompatible offices by the same per son ; and yet, the Colonial-office; that pest of Colonial Go. vernmcnts, ron4iis petffttly indifferent to the cdttiplaints O 1 the people. The following extract from a Lower Canada newspaper will show how matters stand in one province Nothing can equal tho practical beauties of Colonial Governments. The Hon. Mr. Odell is de/ k and member of the Executive Council of Neu, B unswick— master and man, at one and the same time! We should recommend Lord Glenelg to make Mr. Odell Governor of New Brunswick. It would be a great saving of human labour if he filled the three posts all at once." We put it to Lord Melbourne, and to Members of the House of Colimons, who give attention to matters of Government., how they would approve of having the office of Mr. Gre ville, Clerk to the Council, and also a Member of the Cabinet, taking his place and acting as Member and Clerk—yet such a state of things exist in our colonies! In the Spectator of last Sunday there is a paragraph stating that Mr. Hume had, on the previous Thursday, at tended in the Middlesex Court of Revision, to defend his claim to vote for the county ; and that the objection made against his claim turned out to be well founded in law—so Mr. flume's name was removed from the registry. This may be all correct as regards some Mr. Hume ; but we are requested to state, that it does not apply to Mr. Hume, M.P., whose vote for Middlesex has not been objected to, and who has not been in town for some weeks past. In that paragraph there is an allusion to the letter of Mr. Hume, M.P., respecting his vote for the borough of Mary lebone, which may lead our readers, generally, to believe that it was Mr. Hume, M.P's. claim for Middlesex which had been objected to. A new code of laws for Poland has been received in Warsaw, and will shortly be made public. It has been drawn up by the Councillor of State, Zaborowski. It will be published in Polish and Russian, and is said to be based on the principle of rigidly maintaining the distinctions of rank. The new citadel of Warsaw is now completely finished ; the new lac de pont of Praga is rapidly proceed. ing, and 15,000 workmen are daily employed on the forti fications of Modlin. In Brez-Litewski, Zamosc, and at the mouth of the Wieprez and Vistula, immense works are also in the course of construction, which has the effect of putting a good deal of Russian money into circulation in Poland. The Greek archi-episcopal church at Warsaw is a fins building, and the congregation is rapidly increasing. as in all cases of marriages between Russians and Poles the children must be brought up to the Greek Church. The Commission appointed to draw up a law for the emancipa tion of the Polish peasantry have concluded their labours. The result is that the present state of things will be main tained. This has greatly tended to tranquillise the nobility. —Leipric Allgemaine Zeitung. We are informed from good authority that General Fcheffkine, aide-de-eamp to the Emperor of Russia, accom panied by a young Russian gentleman, conversant with science, has very recently, by order of his Imperial Majesty, made a tour in the north of England, in order to become acquainted with the management of railroads and loco motive engines. We have also learned that most exten sive railroads are about to be formed in Russia, and that coals for these locomotive engines will be purchased in the Tyne and Wear.—Sunderland Herald. The manner in which the French authorities watch over all matters connected with the public health contrasts strongly with the neglect of this important duty on the part of our own Executive. The moment that any dan gerous epidemic disease breaks out in any part of France medical aid is promptly supplied by the Government ; and we find, by a late number of a French journal, that the Minister of commercial affairs in that country has placed a sum of 40,000 francs at the disposal of one of the southern Prefects, for the purpose of affording aid in the localities the inhabitants of which are now suffering under cholera. —Lancet. " TO JOSEPH HUME, ESQ., M.P. , " Sir, —Entertaining a deep sense of the obligations un der which we, in common with every part of the empire, are laid to your honest, strenuous, and successful services, as an intelligent and liberal legislator ; as an enemy of oppres sion, misrule, and profusion ; as the bold and unwavering friend of civil and religious liberty, we consider the presenta tion of the freedom of the city, so justly voted to you by the Magistrates and Town Council of Edinburgh, as a fit opportunity for the citizens to manifest their unabated con fidence in your zeal and fidelity, and therefore request you will do us the honour of accepting of a public entertainment to be given to you in the Scottish metropolis, on the earliest day that will be convenient for you to attend." (Here follow 865 signatures.) " Bath, 29th Sept., 1837. " Sir,—My absence from London has occasioned some delay in the receipt of your letter of the 19th inst., accom panying the requisition of 863 inhabitants of Edinburgh and its neighbourhood, inviting me to a public entertain ment in your city. " I request you will express to those gentlemen who honoured me by signing that requisition, that I value this demonstration of liberal feeling among my countrymen the more highly at this time, because, from the loss of my seat for Middlesex, and the defeat of several excellent Re formers in other parts of England, the enemies of good government have taken occasion to assume a re-action of public opinion in favour of Tory principles. " I confidently affirm, that there is no solid foundation for any such assumption ; and I am pleased that there is even no apparent ground for such assertions in Scotland and Ireland. " The defects of the machinery of the Reform Bill have left the constituency too much at the mercy of their aristo cratical oppressors ; coercion and intimidation, I grieve to add open and shameless bribery, have had their baneful effects on the late elections, especially in the counties. I cannot, therefore, doubt, that our present Ministers will see the necessity of immediately applying a remedy to those crying abuses, which are, in fact, nullifying the intentions of the Reform Bill. The adoption of the ballot, and the ex tension of the suffrage, are absolutely necessary, to render the provisions of that Bill other than mockery ;—with these we may defy Tory influence and oppression,—without these we must soon again recommence the struggle for reform. "As to the Tory Lords, I fear them not. Let Ministers but propose good and efficient measures, they will be car ried in the House of Commons ; and the pressure from without will soon bring the misguided Peers to their senses. They will soon be taught that a great and intelligent nation will not long submit to the deprivation of national benefits, because an arrogant and interested faction of less than three hundred men oppose them. " Feeling those things deeply, I should have been most happy to meet so many public-spirited men, earnest, like myself, to demonstrate to the country at large their unal tered resolution to proceed in, and to perfect, the work of Reform. But considerations, chiefly of a personal nature, of which I need mention only the lateness of the season, and the near approach of the meeting of Parliament, oblige me, most reluctantly, to deny myself this gratification at the present time. 6/ I therefore request you to convey to all who have signed the requisition my grateful thanks for the honour intended me, and my sincere regret that circumstances do not admit of my availing myself of their obliging invitation. " I am, &c. _ " JOSEPH HUME. " To Thomas Ireland, Esq., Chairman of the Committee, Edinburgh." —Scottish Pilot SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TA T TER SALL' S—YEsraßner.

Much curiosity was excited on Sunday morning, in the vicinity of London-bridge, by the unusual circumstance of a great number of persons actively employed, during Divine service, in unloading the cargo of a large schooner, lying near the Bridge-wharf. The vessel, which is called the Post Boy, had arrived on Saturday from Denia, with a cargo of dry fruit, and had hauled alongside the wharf, for the purpose of unloading. About four o'clock yesterday morning, the mate, having occasion to get up, stepped into the cabin, and instantly found himself ankle deep in water. An alarm was raised, and, on examination, it was found that the vessel had already made six or seven feet of wa ter ; she was, in fact, rapidly filling, and, had not the dis covery been made in time, it is probable that she would have sunk, and that the crew would have perished. It was stated that the leak was occasioned by a plumber, who had been employed the day before in repairing the water-closet, the leaden pipe of which he hed removed, without taking the precaution of stopping up the hole. It is supposed that more than half of the cargo was damaged. LIFE INSURANCES.-11l the competition of in surance offices it seems probable that the advantages of making a provision for future contingencies will be made manifest to great numbers who have not hitherto availed themselves of the opportunities within their power. One of the great obstacles in the way of persons of moderate circumstances laying out a portion of their income in mak ing a provision for their families in case of death, has been the uncertainty of being able to keep up the annual pay ments. This obstacle has been removed in a great measure by the plan of the National Loan Assurance Company, which permits insurers to borrow front the Association two-thirds of the amount they have paid in annual pre miums. Thus, a young married man insuring his life for .500/. may pay five or six years' premium, and thus accu mulate a fund, two-thirds of which may be available, either for present subsistence, or to pay the succeeding year's premium, if front ill health or any other cause he should suffer temporary want of employment. The office thus becomes one of the best of Savings' Banks a n d one of the best of Friendly Societies, while at the same time the insured family have a provision for them in the case of a wors7, contingency. Another obstacle with persons in middling circumstances has been_ that the pre mium has fallen in one sum, not easily raised, but by long and prudent foresight. By taking payments half-yearly, quarterly, and even monthly, a constant s'imulus is given to economy, and the sums fall lightly and almost unfelt. These peculiarities in the scheme seem likely to render it powerfully influential in promoting habits of steady in du-t•y and careful foresight amongst a class of persons who have either mull no provision for the future, or who have wasted their resources in contributions to friendly societies framed without the slightest regard to the con tingencies of life, and which have consequently failed to afford relief when it is mast wanted. We shall not go so far as to say that the advantages to large insurers arc su 13 to 1 agst Lord Jersey's Cobweb colt—taken 500 to 30 laid against each of the following in one bet :—Grey Momus, Cobweb, Early Bird, Volunteer, D'Egville, and Brother to Cactus.

DINNER TO SIR S. ' AND BENJAMIN H 11,1„ ci Yesterday the it efottirert of tin hot °ugh of Nlai I entertained their Representatives, Sir Samuel Whalley and Benjamin Hall, Esq., at a public dinner in Lot'd's Cricket ground, St, John's Wood, in celebration of the great triumph they achieved over the comics of liberty and po pular rights in that borough, by the return of these two popular Members. Three o'clock being the hour announced for the commencement of the festivities, at that time a vast concourse of people had assembled, who evinced the greatest enthusiasm in the pro-medings. T. E. HOVEN DEN, Esq., presided, and Dr. HARRISON acted as Vice- President. The cloth having been removed, The CHAIRMAN rose and said, that it had been said by a Tory print that the Reformers of that borough were split ; but the manifestation of union which the spectacle before him afforded, showed how futile it was for any man or party, or clique, to think for a moment that they could retard the progress of Reform or the political re generation of the people by dictating to the rest.— (Cheers.) He for one could say that lie disclaimed any such arrogant pretension. The time had been when the people were obliged to struggle against the influence of the Crown, but now the Crown was with them.—(Great cheering.) " The Queen, may she always reign in, the hearts of the people"—nine times nine. Song—" God save the Queen," by Mr. Giffard," the whole company standing and joining in the chorus. " The Duke of Sussex, and the other members of the Royal Family.' —( Cheers, and cries of " Leave Ernest out.") Mr. POTTER rose to propose the next toast, which he did in a brief but suitable preface—" Her Majesty's Mi nisters—may wisdom guide their councils to deserve the confidence and secure the support of the people of Great Britain and of Ireland." Sir SAMUEL WHALLEY rose, and was greeted with long continued plaudits. Much as they had cause to rejoice at in their triumph in Marylebone, they could not but regret that the Reform Bill had not gone far enough. With the exception of a few large towns, such as Birmingham and Manchester, the metropolitan boroughs were the only new constituencies which had successfully battled for the rights and privileges of the people. In other places the old leaven was still at work, vitiating and destroying the most vital principles of liberty ; and never was corruption more rampant than during the last contested election. He did not arrogate too much when he said that the metro politan boroughs had done more than any others for the popular cause. It could not be denied that the Reform party were weaker in this Parliament than 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 which would be engraven on their hearts in characters which he hoped would wear long, that it was only owing to the want of the Ballot.—(Cheers.) The Ballot would not only enable, but compel them to give a pure and upright vote.—(Continued cheers.) As to the extension of the Suffrage, whatever effect it might have in towns, it would not be productive of so much good in counties. There was one unfortunate clause in the Reform Bill, which gave the franchise to tenants at will, and it surprised him much that many good Reformers had given it their support. They might have well known that tenants at will would be electors at will.—(Cheers.) It was not because the Ministers had done too much in the last Session of Parliament that they found themselves in some measure deserted by the people at the late election, but it was because they had not gone far enough ; but he trusted that in future they would proceed more vigorously. Let them dissolve the present Par liament when they would, he would venture to predicate that the ranks of Reform would gain daily accessions of strength. There was no necessity for either despondency or despair. The great political theatre would soon open. England, or he should rather say the whole world, would form the audience, and the chief actress had enlisted all their sympathies in her favour. Mr. HALL then presented himself, and was received with thunders of applause. He saw that what he was always anxious to attain was now consummated—namely, the union of the Reformers of Marylebone. Previous to the last- election, the only thing which had given him any sorrow or vexation was an accusation that had been made against him of wishing to split the Reform interest, and give an opening to that party, to whose political doctrine he had been always firmly and conscientiously opposed. It had been pretty well known, that, previous to that occasion, he had made many sacrifices in the cause of Reform, and for the purpose of cementing its interests, and he was ready to do so again.—(Cheers.) With re gard to the Church -rates, he would merely say that he had been the first person who had brought for ward that question.—(Loud cheers.) It was then a question little understood. He had proposed the total repeal of that tax ; and when met by Lord Althorp with a proposal for making a substitute out of the Civil List, he opposed it. He had hoped that on a question of so much importance they would have had no compromise whatever, and that the Dissenters would have had the satisfaction of seeing themselves relieved hem a❑ impost which they could not conscientiously pay.—(Cheers.) Ile himself lived in a county almost altogether peopled by Dis senters, and he had the satisfaction of knowing that for his own place of worship, they were never called on for a single penny—as ha was desirous that every man should worship God according to the dictates of his own con science, and he, as a member of the Church of Eng land, could not suffer his dissenting neighbour to pay for his comforts and conveniences. —(Loud cheering.) He looked forward with great hope and anxiety to the next session of Parliament. He hoped, because he put the most unbounded trust in her Majesty's Ministers, and his anxiety arose from the eagerness to know what course they should pursue. He knew they had the power, and if they acted up to the doctrine which they professed they would have with them the people of England, and the enthusiasm of 1832 would come forth and greet them if they only cherished their political exist ence. Allusion had been made to the Corn-laws. He would assure them that, although a landlord, he was nut desirous of deriving profits from sources that would affect the , interests of his fellow-men. He had therefore sup ported the repeal of those laws. Mr. Hall sat down amid loud cheers, and rose almost immediately again ; when he proposed the following, toast : " The Reformers of Mary lebone, and may the virtue of the caus;s in which they were embarked be equalled by their virtue and ptriotism." Dr. ELLMORE proposed " Daniel O'Connell, add justice to Ireland," which was received with tremendous cl;!2ers. A number of other toasts were given, and several exee- , lent speeches made. After which the company arose and adjourned to the ball room, where the ladies anxiously awaited the arrival of the revellers. Dancing- then con►- mence:l, and the festivitieewere prolonged until a late hour. A treaty of commerce highly favourable to this country has lately been entered into between the British Consul- General and the Peruvian Government, and has been forwarded to London to receive the sanction of Mini..tcrs. _ _ _ It is currently reported in this neighbourhood that Mr. Bowes, M P. for the Southern Division of this county, is to be raised to the Peerage ; and there arc some circum stances which give an air of probability to the report. It is also rumoured that Mr. Hutt, Mr. Bowes' father-in-law, is to be brought forward as Mr. Bowes' successor. Should such be the case, the Conservatives are determined to bring fi rward Sir James Graham.—Duthanz Advertiser. LOWER CANADA.—We learn, from undoubted authority, that the British Government have directed Lord Gosford, the Governor-General, to pay the civil list arrear age in that province, the amount of which has been accu mulating- for some years, in consequence of the refusal of the provincial Parliament to make the necessary provision for the same. An officer from the Commissariat Depart ment of Canada has arrived in this city for the purpose of obtaining the necessary funds by the sale of draughts on the British Government at 30 days' sight. The amount, we are told, is very considerable.—New York Morning Courier of Sept. 18. THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. —The number of passengers to Boxmoor last Sunday was more than three times as large as it has been for many weeks past, in spite of the very unsettled state of the weather in the morning. This was accounted for from the circum stance that a report (we believe unfounded) has got abroad that on the opening of the line to Tring, which takes place to-morrow, the fares will be materially heightened to all the stations. The train which left Boxmoor at five o'clock in the afternoon, consisted of about twenty carriages, each containing on an average sixteen or seventeen passengers, and yet, notwithstanding this immense weight, the twenty five miles were accomplished in a few minutes beyond the hour, including a stoppage of three minutes at each of the intermediate stations near Watford and Harrow, and at Kensall Green, to take in water. Although on arriving the night was cold and dark, hundreds were waiting in the fields round the depot to witness the train come in. CRIM. CON. IN IRELAND. --.A very disagreeable denouement, which took place this week in a southern county not far from the metropolis, affords the lovers of scandal abundant food for talk, and will give the gentlemen of the long robe employment during the next Term. Mr. P., a gentleman of great respectability in a northern county, was lately invited to spend a short time with his friend Mr. C. While in the house his attentions to the fair hostess were more than the laws of hospitality war ranted. The husband, suspecting strongly, resolved to have confirm ition, and accordingly he made a feint to go to Dublin, but returned unexpectedly at one o'clock in the morning, when he found his bedroom-door locked. The gallant had to leap out of the window to save himself from the enraged husband, and, sans culotte, fled some miles to a public-house, in which he concealed himself until clothes were provided for him to enable him to return home. SPAIN. MADRID, SEPT. 30.—From the few ei_ei;en list- e Bich have been yet received here, as well as is: ~:u tLo e',' racer of their contents, it is extremely difficul . he fu ture character of the next Congress. The Moderados rni Exaltados respectively, from these circumstances, claim is majority in favour of their party. In Madrid, where the former have been certainly beaten, it is said to be their intention to dispute the legality of the election in conse quence of some infraction of the electoral law. It is with the sincerest satisfaction I have to inform you that Colonel Lacy and his companions, of whose fate such just apprehensions were entertained. have this moment ar rived safe in Madrid. The ferocity of the factious has un expectedly respected the British name, and after detaining these gentlemen for some time, took the prudent course of permitting them to pursue their journey to Madrid. The elections terminated in Madrid on the 26th. The scrutiny of the votes is not yet completed ; but the lists already published are much in favour of the " Constitu tional" party, which you arc aware is the party of Reform, or of " Progression." SARAGOSSA, SEPT. 29.—1 n Old Castile, notwithstanding the shameful abandonment of Valladolid by Espinosa (a General who never ought to have had a command, after his equivocal conduct in Andalusia at the time of the juntas), the faction of' Zariategui have been thoroughly beaten by the Baron de Carondelet ; and it is to be hoped the rebels have been made to disgorge the booty they carried off from Segovia. El Cabanero, who, profiting by the temporary absenee of the Queen's troops from Aragon, had been overrunning ant plundering parts of the province where he had never before ventured, is being closely pursued by the moveable column sent from this city for that purpose, whilst divers parties of national guards, free corps, &c., are in motion for the same object, and for the purpose of capturing the fugitives from Cabrera's and other bands. The commandants of the dif ferent battalions of national guards of Saragossa have offered their services and that of their corps (at the request of the members of them) to the provincial deputation, to set forth against El Cabanero and other rebel corps. In Aragon the utmost energy and patriotism is displayed by all classes. The active little column under Colonel Fernandez is doing its duty. By a despatch, dated yesterday, from the Calatayud, we hear that the column arrived the evening before in that city ; that until midnight they were rationing the troops, and completing the men and hoses with shoes, which had been instantly supplied by the patriotic exer tions of the ayuntarniento. Having also been augmented by a portion of the garrison, twenty of the cavalry of the National Guards and twenty infantry of the same, well acquainted with the country, the whole marched at four o'clock in the morning in the direction of Munebrega and La Vilnena, where El Cabanero and his factious had rested for the night. These two places are about four leagues from Calatayud to the south-east. Tile Governor of Ca latayud received a verbal communication at eight, a.m., to the effect that the factious were at the above two points at day-light. It is therefore probable that Colonel Fernan dez's column will catch them. OCT. I.—Cabrera, with forty horsemen, entered Cama rillas, a days march from Fortaneti and Cantavieja, at 11, a.m., on the 26th, and the remainder of his force, reduced to 2,000 men, arrived there the next day at noon. There is a rumour that General Oraa had taken the greater part of Cabrera's cavalry ; this needs confirmation ; yet his having entered Camarillas with only forty horsemen, and only having been joined afterwards by 2,000 infantry would seem to give consistency to the report. The entrance of Cabrera into Camarillas is officially stated in a dispatch from the Governor of Alcaniz, dated on the evening of the 28th, and his having proceeded to Cantavieja is mentioned in Colonel Boni's despatch of the 27th, from Montalban. By accounts from Old Castile, we learn that, after en deavouring in vain to establish himself at the Hermitage of San Isidro, near Valladolid, Zariategtti fled, pursued by Carondelet towards Aranda de Duero. General Lorenzo was also making forced marches upon Zariateg-ni ; besides • which, there is the corps from Santander proceeding with the same object by Burgos. The Carlist chief Tena has been captured ; Espartero has taken 180 cavalry from the Pretender, and other prizes." SARAGOSSA, OCT. 2.—The only intelligence of impor tance up to this hour is, that General Oraa entered Daraca yesterday with his division. lie had ordered the cavalry that was at Carinena (about 200) to join him, and it is supposed that he is determined to take Cantavieja ; whither, as you will have seen by my letter of yesterday, Ca►trer<t had gone with the wreck of his division, 2,000 infantry and about 40 cavalry. We are justified in looking forward to the speedy de struction of Cantavieja, the liberation of the prisoners take❑ in the action with Buerens, and the relief of the surround ing country from a scourge by which it has so long been afflicted. The capture of the rebel chief Tens, announced to you yesterday, is most important. Ha was one of the most active and cruel of his trans-humating Majii , sty's chiefs. . Sr. SEBASTIAN, OCT. I.—Although the news from tha South continues to be most •favourable to the cause of the . Queen, yet the troops here are in bad spirits, as we now begin to feel the loss of rations. Brigadier-General Tens, one of the Members of the Royal Commission, appointed for the settlement of the affairs of the Legion, has returned from Madrid, charged with the embarkation of the Sccc.n 1 Lancers, which corps he is authorised to pay up to the 10th of June, and issue three months pay to the officers of that corps. lam sorry to say, that lie has brought an authority to draw on the Treasury, in place of the money, and I doubt very much whether he will be able to raise money upon the bills he hag authority to draw for. Tena also brings with him a Royal order, dated the 16th of August last, approving of the proceedings of the Royal Commission, composed of General Tena, Colonel Wyldo, R.A., and Lianas, except their memorandu n authorising paymasters to estimate for pay of officers until such. time as they are settled with by the Government. Tnis exception is not only unjust, but it will place many of the officers now remaining here (in the expectation of being settled with) in very distressed circumstances ; for what ever debts they may have contracted, in addition to being now without money, they must pay before les%ino this ; for if their creditors choose they can prevent the departure, and officers must draw upon borne, not only for the means to take them there, but sufficient to liquidate their debts here for subsistence and clothing. Bills upon the Treasury of Madrid are about to be offered to the officers to the Old Legion, through Brigadier-General Tens ; but they hill not be saleable for sonic time, e'ven at large discount. Our prb,ent pesitieni here arc the same as before the Bth of last m u nth, with five battalions in reserve, which can be brought to any point of attack upon our lines in less than two hours. WESTMENjTER AND BLACKF ItIA RS BRIDGES.--. Tne repairs of the former bridge are now completed ; must of the cut-waters and piers have been refaced with Brantley fall-stone, and the top of the piles, which are exposed to the action of the water, and the increased rapid current of the river, in consequence of the removal of old London Bridge, have been eased with stone. Nearly the whole of these works were executed under water by the diving bell. Tiro facim: of never ;l of the spandrili have also been obliged to he rebuilt, which bulged out, in consequence or the interior of the spandrils lorded with louse rubbish, so that every time a load passed over the bridge, the vibration was transferred through the loose rubbish to the spandrils. Blat k'riars Bridge is almost being rebuilt ; two more piers are now surrounded with coffer dams for the removal of the decayed stone work, and to he refaced with Bramley-fall stone. The centre of Cue bridge is to be lowered about three feet, and the balustrade and cornice is being removed, and instead, a plain parapet is substituted, with the cornice as before, m ide rather thinner than the old cornice ; the co lumns are shortened, and the cut-waters r ased, which is coniidered a decided improvement. It appears that tlie spandrils and top of the old arch is loaded with rubble , g. oute I with lime. On Saturday afternoon information was given of the following singular robbery :—lt appeared that about three weeks since Mr. Thomas Reynolds, a gentleman of independent property, advertised for a wife in one of the Sunday journals, which caused him to rece;ve a number of applications, and amongst them one from a female named Cive. To this person he paid his addresses, with the ulti mate prospect of marriage, and toge ther they visited every theatre or public place of amusement. Having missed se veral family relics, with other arttcles, on which he placed some value, he instituted strict inquiry as to hes character at the place' given to him as references, when, to his utter as tonishment, he was informed that they know no suc h per son of that name or description, He immediately hastened home ; but it proved unfortunately too late, for the wos man, haying anticipated his return, had 1,41, the houtts taking with her every costly article of plate or jewelary that she could find.
