TO 7'IlE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The Reformeis leive had a glorious day in Ilfra combe. The electors of the lifracornlye polling district dined this day at the Putlie Rooms Tables were laid fcr nearly ISO ; but the waiting-rooms and the reading-room were obliged to be used, the members being so many mere than e.:lculated upon. 243 dined ; and it is thought that upwards of 100 were unable to find accommodation. Joseph Davie Bassett, Esq., of Watermouth, was in the Chair, supported by Lord Ebrington and the Hon. Newton Fel lOM'S. N. I/ye, Esq., of Ilfrae-,mbe, in the Vice Chair, supported by J. P. B. Chichester, 1;:q., M.P., and other influential electors of the Northern Division. The town pre rated a most lively appearance. Scarcely a house but was decor:ted with laurel or Hags—the guns fired—the bells rung a ronry peal—and joy seemed to beam on every countenance, except on two or three Tories, which the town still boasts. The leading ones left the town pre viously to tl:e arrival of the cavalcade. You will have full particulars by the North Devon Jots , nal. I arts, Sir, yours, &c. A ILFRACOMBE REFORMER. IlfraLombo, Sept. 27, L 537. N AUTICAL ALMANAC. TO THE EDITORS OF THE UNITED SERVICE GAZETTE. Gentlemen,—As the Nautical Almanac for 1839, which has at length made its appearance, contains some unex plained matters regarding myself, I trust you will do me the favour of inserting a few remarks in your valuable paper. For four years I occupied the situation of head assistant to the Nautical Almanac office, and I need not explain to the st:perintendent's astronomical friends, nor to the computers, Low far the scientific portions of the Almanac have dependeci on my contributions and general manage ment. It is perlis;as not generally known, however, that in the month of February- last I terminated my connexion with Lieut Stratford, the superintendent, in consequence of some ill treatment I received from him during the preceding four or five months, the particulars of which I reserve for ano ther occasion. At present I only wish to make known what I have done towards the investigation of methods for conducting the calculations, and to relieve the superinten dent from responsibilities that in reality attach to myself. For this purpose I beg to present the following list of papers that I have from time to time drawn out in detail for the superintendent at his request :- 1. Methods of calculating eclipses of the sun and moon, and of the occultations of stars by the moon, printed in Ap pendix to 1836. 2. Arrangement of quantities given, and formula for cal culating the geocentric appearance of Saturn's Ring, printed at page viii. of the Preface to 1836. 3. Method of determining the moon's greatest libration, and the time of its occurrence. 4. Method of calculating the occultations and transits of Jupiter's satellites, printed in Appendix to 1835. 5. Method of calculating and mapping the configurations and diagrams a Jupiter's satellites, printed in ditto. 6. Method of ca:nulating an ephemeris of a comet, printed in ditto. 7. Formulre, &c., relating to Halley's comet, printed at page 539 of the explanation to 1835, or page 538 of the second edition. 8. Detailed account of the successive steps adopted in the calculations of the elements of occultations, and of the occultations for Greenwich. 9. Formulae used in the construction of the meridianal ephemeris, printed in the preface to 1839. 10. Detailed account of the mode of examination of pages XIX, XX, and XXI, of the month. 11. Detailed account of the various calculations relating to the orbit of Halley's comet, for Appendix to 1839. 12. Reduced formulae for perturbations, much simplified for calculation, printed at pages 194-5 of Appendix to 1839. 13. Reduced formulae for the precession of polar stars, printed at pages XIII. and XIV of the Preface to the Se cond Edition of 18:34. 14. Detailed account of the successive steps taken in my method of selecting a list of stars for the elements of occultations, &c. &c. &c. With respect to the discussion on the orbit of Halley's comet I may observe, that my reduced formulae (No. 12), which the superintendent has imperfectly given at pages 194-5, are transformations of those determined by M. Airy, in the Appendix to 1837 ; and that I was at con siderable pains to effect these transformations, as Mr. Airy's expressions were unfit for use. To avoid misunderstanding, it will be necessary also to observe, in justice to myself, that the article headed " Cor rection of the Assumed Elements" is the only one with the composition of which I have had nothing to do, and that it is entirely erroneous, notwithstanding the "cor dial co-operation" of Mr. Airy. The a.-2 1 , &c. should have been :71 _ 2 , ;s l --";', &c. through out ; and the paragraph At the foot of page 197 is exactly the reverse of the truth. The calculations were all per formed under my immediate direction, and the coefficients of the P, Q, R, &c., were not determined in the erroneous way described by the superintendent, which would have turned the whole of the calculations upside-down. The right ascension and declination in the original orbit were in all cases subtracted from those in the six varied orbits. It is further remarkable that when I quitted the office in Febt nary last the present volume was one-half printed, be sides' the entire cometary tables ; that the other half was printed off in April, and that the superintendent has thus delayed the publication of the volume for no less than five months, merely to arrange the explanatory part of the comet out of the materials with which I had supplied him more than twelve months before. In this time the superin tendent may possibly have forgot where the formulte, p.p. 194,:, had come from ; but certainly the cometary paper, which cast he of no real use for 60 or 70 years to come, affords but a aery ic,ufficient apology for withholding from the seaman a %olume essential to the safety of his navigation. I am, Sir, Your most obedient, servant, W. S. B. WOOLIIOUSE, Actuary to the National Loan Fund Life Assurance: Society. 6), C,urro.llll, Sept. 13, 1537. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. -_ _~~ty.--_ BrwEsrLs, SEPT. 27.—The Moulton- is not published to-div. Above 50.000 persons were present to view the fire works last night, which were very splendid, and favoured by the finest ..seather possible. General Saregin is now at Brusse's. He has just pub lished several pamphlets, which demonstrate that the cele brated prosecution for polygamy which was brought against him was but a political pretext, of which advantage was taken to ruin him. The magistrates of Catanea, in Sicily, where the cholera is raging with frightful intensity, have just placed under quarantine for twenty-one days some English physicians whom the Got ernment of Malta sent to their assistance, These magistrates would probably prohibit the water which should be brought to extinguish a fire. We mentioned yesterday that some French and Tuscan engineers were visiting the principal manufactories in our province ; we may add that two Westphalian engineers have been engaged for this fortnight in examining the coal-mines in the environs of Leige. M. de Gourieff, Major of Engineers, in the service of Russia, has just left our city ( Liege), where he came with the invention of making himself acquainted with the mode of working the coal-mines. These visits from men of such eminence do honour to the manufacturers and to the Di rector of Mines in the province of Liege. VIENNA, SEPT. 18.—The Marquis of Monasterio has left this city and ,gone to Berlin. He has, therefore, not been sent, as some journals asserted, to Don Carlos to be his representative at the Imperial Court. We have re ceived accounts from Odessa, which state that the first evolutions of the cavalry assembled at Wosnesensk have been executed successfully. The Emperor Nicholas was expected very shortly at Wessa ; he will make hut a short stay there, and proceed immediately on his journey to the Caucasus. The Empress and the Grand Duke Alexander intend to mike a longer stay at Odessa, and then go to Moscow, where it is known that the Russia❑ Court will pass the greater part of the winter. FRANKFORT, SEPT. 20.—General de Lacy Evans has ar rived here from Brussels. It is said that communications and proposals have been made from the German Diet to the Government of this city relative to our r °Utical rela tions, which are supposed to be connected with the occupa tion of the city by troops of the Confederation. But it does not appear that any thing positive on this subject has transpired. CONSTANTINOPLE, Au G. 30.—The Austrian ate tie boat Maria Anna, which arrived here on the 26th, left to-day For Sebastopol, where it is to receive on board the Archduke John, after the reviews of Wosnesensk, and con vey him to this city. The French brig Argus, stationed here lately, sailed, it is said, for the Mediterranean. There have lately been two cases of plague on board the Russian corvette that has lain at anchor off Bujukdere, and this has obliged the crew to go on shore off the coast of Asia, where they are now under tents. The plague has abated here since the last post ; and, as we learn from Smyrna, has wholly ceased there. ST. PETERSBURG, SEPT. 16.—The great and brilliant reviews and evolutions at Wosnesensk were tolast 10 days. They began on the 4th, and ended on the 14th. They are the first of the kind which have been on so great a scale in nur country, and at which the European Sovereigns have been pleased to take immediate part, through their Repre sentatives, who have been sent there. Immediately after the close of the reviews, their Imperial Majesties would proceed on their journey to the South, to visit the Crimea, and even Tiflis, the capital of the Trans-Caucasian provinces. It is now positively affirmed, that on their return from this journey, their Majesties will reside in Moscow till the be ginning of the new year. The young Grand Dukes and Duchesses, who are still here, will go to join their parents at the end of October. The Emperor will thus fulfil an old promise which he made to the inhabitants of Moscow some years ago, at their repeated and urgent solicitations. This short absence of the Emperor will not occasion a removal of the Ministerial Department, or of the Diplomatic Body. His Majesty has given orders to expedite the building of the Isaac Church, which has not been going on for twenty years. To attain this end his Majesty has been pleased to order the annual sum of one million of rubles (Bank assignats), hitherto allotted to the expense of building, to be raised to three millions. GOTTINGEN, SEPT. 21.—We learn that his Majesty, in reply to the petition in favour of the state prisoners, said that the law for the present takes its course. BERLIN, SEPT. 24.—New cases from Sept. 22 to 23, 42 ; deaths, 22. New cases from Sept. 23 to 24, .50 ; deaths, 31.

On Friday last, the electors of Fortrose and its neigh bourhood gave a public entertainment in Mackintosh's Inn, to their representative, Roderick Macleod, Esq , younger of Cad boll. J. Carpenter Steavenson, Esq. Provost of the Burgh, in the Chair. The Chairman proposed the health of Mr. Macleod,wbich was drank with true Highland enthusiasm. Mr. MACLEOD then rose amidst great cheering, and de livered an admirable address, to which we regret that our limits will not permit us to do justice. The Hon. Gentle man, after bringing forward succinctly, in a strong light, the measures to which Ministers should direct their energies in the new Parliament, referred to the present position of the Cabinet. "On this point (observed Mr. Macleod) I will speak to you, according to the information I possess, with the. utmost sincerity. I believe that Government will meet Parliament with ample support to enable them to carry on the administration of public affairs ; or, to use the phrase of the day, that they will hare a working majority. I also hope it will prove an increasing majority.—(Cheers.) I cannot believe but that gentlemen who may have been elected with what are called Conservative predilections, will, on a nearer inspection of the measures of the Queen's Ministers, discover that they have been entirely mistaken in ascribing to them tendencies dangerous to the Constitution. When the strength of Government is perceived, then time will only add to that strength. I shall be egregiously mistaken if the present Parli anent do not contain a considerable quan tity of transferable matter—(Laughter and cheers)—and that the boasts of the Tories will prove in vain, and their predictions as fallacious as those which the last seven years have invariably witnessed. 1 cannot but believe that gen tlemen of candour, education, and moderate principles, when they come to consider the nefarious means which have been used by the Tory faction to carry elections, will begin to cLouht the soundness of the cause ;Odell required their as si,Lance." The lion. Gentleman then ably exposed the baseness and hollowness of the Tories, as evidenced by their getting up an ignorant clamour against the New Poor Law, us well as by the whole course of their wretched shuffling and slavish policy. Various toasts were given in the course of the evening, with suitable speeches. The meeting broke up about one o'clock. BIRTIT.--At Cheltenham, on the 27th of Sep tember, the lady of Norwich Duff, Esq., Captain in the Royal Navy, of a son. Most of the crops are now housed in this neigh bourhood ; and on the north side of the town all the fields are cleared, and the grain stacked. The oats seem a full average crop, but the wheat and barley, being Thin on the ground, do not stack so well. Oa Friday last, there was ,; . ntatubGrof sales of turnips ; and one lot, from the north part of znii Pty. brought upwards of 30/. per acre.—Edin burgh Advertise". religiOn as L:hrist is peace and goodwill—the religion of Christ en d om i s War ed —Landon. SHIPWRECK. On Sunday evening last, the schooner Cringeriand, Crook, master, of Alaryport. which has for some time een expected here from St.' Petersburgh, made Pile Lighi l.ouse, but as it was blowing hard, and the weather very hazy, Captain Crook thought it better to take shelter at Pile till the morning ; and with that view he stood in under double-reefed top-sails. Before it could be aeaomplished, however, the vessel .struck on the Foul Ground, anti knocked her rudder off. The anchors were let go ; but they came home, and the vessel got hard aground with a tremendous sea breaking over her. She continued to strike very heavily, and at length was so much damaged that she filled, and fell over on her beam-ends. This was about eight o'clock, and there was the whole of the dreary night before the unfortunate sufferers on board, who all sought safety on the broadside, in the chains, &c. We should not forget to state that the captain, unfortunately, bad his wife on board, and the unhappy couple were cling ing to the wreck somewhere about the after part. Piele, the mete, a tine weather. beaten specimen of the right Engl:sh school (whose conduct seems to have been as humane as it was brave cn this occasion), observing that the sea broke with less violence over the Lows than elsewhere, with great labour, and, at the hazard At his life, Conveying Mrs. Crook forward, requested her 4a permit him to lash her to the ring -bolts, but she could bet he persuaded to have that done, and Piele left her to assist her husband. At that moment a dreadful sea broke °ter the wreck and carried the mate overboard, but he suc ceeded in getting a berth in the cross-trees (for, although the weatht r-riggieg was cut away for the purpose, the masts did not go), and soon after he just caught one glimpse of Airs. Crook, but it was momentary, as a wave washed her away, and she was seen no more. Captain Crook, on wit nessing the loss of his wife, appeared paralysed, and it was in vain Piele shouted to him to make some effort to save himself. Ile made some indistinct remark, and was swept into eternity with the next was e. The horrible situa tion of the survivors may be easily imagined. Clinging to the wreck of the vessel, with a long and dreary trig; t just. set in, the probability of the craft going to pieces long before its expiration, and the hope lessncsi of all human aid availing, the poor fellows had nothing to loci, to but the ruling hind of a merciful Pro vidence. That sari anchor did not fail them ; for the wind somewhat suddenly lowered, and the sea became compara tively calm. The mariners at first thought this was only ,1 full—the herald of harder weather than before ; but th r y were mistaken. The weather held fair, and in the morning the crew, taking to the jolly boat, rowed them selves to Pile, where they arrived safe and sound. The vessel had on board 100 casks of tallow, and the rest of Jeer lading was flax, and she was consigned to T. Giles, E s q . . of this town. The disaster happened at the young flood, ra ld on the tide rising the ve sse l fl oate d o ff . The next day st .'. e. not to be seen, and Mr. J ames Gil es pro ceeded in the John o Gaunt steamer in sear c h o f h er, b ut he was unsuccessful, and supposed the ve sse l h as gone ) to the bottom in Lune Minim!, as 418 was last seen near the north-west buoy on Monday . terpow),-Lancastei Gazette. Lord Fitzroy Somerset arrived in Stanhope-strisrt. Mayfair, on Tuesday last from Wahner Castle. A lady at sea, full of apprehension in a gale of wind cried out, among other pretty exclamations, " We shall all go to the bottom ; mercy on us, how my head swims !" " Zounds, madam, never fear," said one of the suilors, 's you eau never go to the bottom while your head swims.' THE LONDON, FP:tDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, H 37.

We regret this hesitation on the part of the Honourable IVlember, for on most other questions he is vigorous and decided enough. He wishes, for instance, to see Church-rates entirely abolished; the duration of Parliament shortened ; Mu nicipal Reform granted to Ireland ; and the rate paving clauses cf the Reform Act done away with. Why, being thus liberal in his views respecting these important measures, will not Mr. TURNER bring an equal measure of liberality to bear on his consideration of the Ballot ? Has he maturely reflected on the re sults of the last elections; has he perused the accounts which have been collected from all quarters, and in serted from time to time in all the liberal journals, of the schemes resorted to by the Tory parsons and Tory pensioned agents to corrupt the purity of election, and bear down by intimidation those whom they could not convince by argument ? Has the lion. Member for Truro perused this conclusive evidence ? We rather suspect not ; for if he had, sure arc we that he would not talk of the demoralizing" effects likely to accrue from the adoption of the Ballot, but come to the same conclusion that Mr. DENNISON has lately done, who having long been a sworn opponent to secret voting, has now publicly recanted his opposition, and stated his reluctant, but sincere, conviction that it is indispensable that the Ballot be granted. As for demoralization, the idea is a farce. Under any system we cannot possibly see more of it than we SAW during the last election, when voters, like cattle, were brought up in droves to the poll, headed by one ,Tory agent, and tailed by another I Any ohange iu a practice like this must be for the better, for it can nt be for the worse. We anticipate, therefore, with some confidence the day when Mr. TURNER will re cant his heresy on th e subject of the Ballot, and come round to the true faith. A liberal and active mind Re his cannot long retain its prejudices. As the Tories have not hesitated to give out that this gentle man is one of their fraternity, we have little doubt.that they have been urging the same accusation against other -Hon. Members; and if so, we can readily account for the formidable show, in point of "'umbers, which their Parliamentary adherents make in the columns of their accredited organs. L€tters and papers from Madrid down to the 20th , have been received. From these it appears that ESPARTERO moved from Carabanchel, in the imme diate vicinity of Madrid, on the 17th, and on the fol lowing day reached Guadalaxara, which, he states in a despatch, the Carlists had invested. On the approach of the Commander•in-Chief they raised the siege, and retired to the heights in the neighbourhood of the city, in which position they remained at the date of the first despatch, on the 19th. After closing his despatch, it seems he attacked the enemy with great vigour, for a second despatch of the same date, pub lished in the Madrid Gazette of the 20th, details a complete victory over the rebels, who were pursued by the QUEEN'S troops as far as Aran zueque, the Pretender still continuing his flight to Ravera. This, it must be observed, is the ac count that ESPARTERO gives of his own achieve ments, and therefore considerable allowance is to be made for the propensity which all Spaniards, and the Conde de LUCHANA in particular, have to view their own exploits through a medium of considerable mag nifying power. It is also to be borne in mind that the journals being prohibited from communicating any in telligence respecting military matters, there is no way of checking the accounts from the army published by the Government. The whole amount of this boasted victory will probably turn out to be little more than an affair between the rear-guard of the Carlists, as they retreated upon their resources on finding themselves outnumbered by the Royal army, and the advanced g,itard of the latter in which neither party could claim any decided advantage. The following is a copy of ESPA RTERO'S dispatch : " ARANZUEQUE, SEPT. 19.—1 left Alcala this morning, to march against the enemy. On arriving at Anchuelo I perceived him, and calculating that if I delayed my ad vance 1 should allow him to gain too much upon me I set forward with the cavalry and a company of guides. This movement disturbed the enemy, and when I ordered the cavalry to charge, which it instantly did, with decision and energy, between San Forcar and El Pozo, the enemy broke, and fled in all directions. The infantry was successively dislodged from all the positions it occupied by the battalidn of Guides and a few field pieces. With this force and a part of my cavnlry, I pursued the rebels as far as this place, which the Pretender left in great haste at mid-day, going in the direction of Renera, whither his troops have followed him. The result of this affair is, the total dispersion of the rebel forces. We have killed many, and taken several prisoners, of whom it is impossible for me to collect the names or the numbers at this momer.t. The enemy left oil the field of battle horses, arms, and other effects. I hasten to inform your Excellency of this affair, and to re quest you will submit the intelligence to her Majesty. The Count de LUCHANA." ORA A had . not advanced beyond Cuenca on the 16th ; hether he was to proceed to the capital, or to join ESPARTERO, does not appear. Cuenca is between 70 and 80 miles from Madrid, and farther from Gua dulaxara. In the meantime ZARIATIEGUY is rang ing about unopposed in old Castile ; the capital of which, Valladolid, he seems to have made himself master of without resistance. He had not joined the Pretender, as was supposed probable before tlI arrival of the last accounts ; but will most likely do so, as the latter retreats towards the north. By a decree which has been issued on the joint autho rity of the QUEEN and the Cortes, property, of every - descripti on i s su bj ec t e d t o an extraordinary contribution. The deficiency in the Revenue is the cause alleged for this proceeding. The motion made in the Cortes on the 20th, declaratory of a want of confidence in the Finance Minister, M. PITA PIZARRO, was lost by a majority of fire, and not of three, as had been stated. The numbers were 53 for and 58 against it. M. PIZARRO, in the debate on the motion, expressed himself to the following tffect “ When I accepted the Finance Department I fore saw the enormous burthen which I imposed upon myself. Nevertheless, my devotion to the national cause de termined to risk all danger, with the hope of saving the country. I not only found the Treasury ex hausted, but I found that all resources were an ticipated for a long time to come, to the extent of no less than 187,000,000 of roals (1,800,0001. sterling). Iu thi ; s critical position—fearing that the army would become tetally disorganised, if the money which it wanted was no t placed at its disposition—for more than one military sedition has broken out, in consequence of the destitution in which it was left—l have been forced to suspend, by a Royal Order of the 2d instant, the payment of certain claims, for the purpose of devoting all the means to the service of the army. I imagine that such an Order is within the power of the Constitution, anti that it does not deserve the epithets which have been applied to it." We are sorry to find that the letters from Bayonne assert, that the prisoners taken by the Carlists at Andoain have all been put to death. The following are extracts from the French Papers received this day : PARIS, SEPT. 27.—An extraordinary courier, who left Madrid on the 18th in the evening, has arrived during the n ight, at the hotel of the Spanish legation. According to the accounts which he brings, Don Carlos occupied Tareja, four leagues north of Guadaxara. His intention is to re turn towards Madrid, after his junction with Zariateguy. The accounts from Madrid of the 18th do not speak of this junction as effected, nor of the occupation of Vallado lid by Zariateguy, though the fact is by no means impos. Oraa, coming from 'Valencia, left Cuenca on the 15th, and on the 17th effected his junction with Espartero, who occupied Guadalaxara at the date of the same news. General Carondelet, whom the telegraphic dispatches of the 24th stated to be at Haro, in Old Castile, 80 leap" from Madrid, had. 45 well as gril : eff4ted hls junction with Fl4parte'f•Q• Madrid was, on the 18th, in as complete a state gf dOPPPP a; could be wished. ()titer letters say that gspartero, after his junction with Urfa, was going towards firielmega at the head of :;0,000 men. A battle seemed inevitable. Don Carlos was on the 17th at Mondejur ; on the approach of Oran he has tened to pass to the opposite bank of Ilemires. It is atiirmed that the Minister of Marine has received to-day several telegraphic despatches from the Maritime Prefect of Toulon, announcingg that the cholera had broken ont, not only in the city, but also on board the vessels in the road of Toulon. The Maritime Prefect ascribes the ap pearance of the cholera at Toulon, which had hitherto been free, to the arrival of the I•_'th regiment from Marseilles.— Le Commerce, Sept. •?7.

The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Aldermen, and other City func tionaries. went in procession to the Church of St. Law rence, Jewry, for the purpose of attending divine service, and at half-past one o'clock adjourned to the Guildhall, where a numerous body of the livery were assembled. The Lord Mayor having taken the Chair, The RECORDER came forward, and stated the objects for which they bad assembled. The new Lord Mayor would be elected under most auspicious circumstances, her Majesty having been graciously pleased to promise that she would dine with him on the first day of his Mayoralty.—(Loud cheers.) After expressing a hope that no change would ever take place in the constitution of the Corporation of London, which would deprive the citi zens of London of a voice in the election of their magis trates, the Learned Gentleman retired amid much cheering. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then retired, and the Common Sergeant called over the names of those Aldermen who were qualified by having filled the office of Sheriff, and declared that the show of hands was in favour of Alderman Cowan and Alderman Wilson. . The names of these two gentlemen were then sent up to the Court of Aldermen, and in about a quarter of an hour a message came down announcing that the Court of Aldermen had confirmed the choice of the Livery by electing Alderman Cowan. This announcement was re ceived with loud cheering. . The election of the other Corporate officers was then proceeded with, and the meeting adjourned. CITY REGISTRATION -THIS DAY (Before Mr. Ml4.Nx.) Mr. Hewitt, Secretary to the Reversionary Interest Society, claimed to have his name put on the list of voters ; but the claim was disallowed, he not being the tenant, but merely occupying the premises as the servant of the Society. No case of public interest occurred before Mr. Craig. It is expected that the Revising Barristers will conclude the revision of the lists by to-morrow, but they will return on Thursday next, for the purpose of disposing of a few cases that have stood over for further consideration. INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY (Before Chief Commissioner REYNOLDS.) THE PERNICIOUS ACCOMMODATION-BIL L SYSTEM.— Henry Goodhall, who described himself as a furniture broker, applied upon his petition to be discharged. The insolvent was not opposed. The insolvent attributed his difficulties to having ac cepted bills for the accommodation of other parties. Some time since be had been a bankrupt, and shortly after he had passed all his examinations, he was arrested. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER condemned in very strong terms the system of accepting accommodation bills—a sys tem which, the Learned Gentleman stated, bad occasioned innumerable insolvencies. In his opinion, any man who put his name to a bill, and was unable to meet it when due, was most properly dealt with if he was sent to prison. What right had any man to incur a lia bility for another, when he could not pay his own debts ? The Learned Commissioner felt convinced that the greatest mischiefs occurred to society from the ac commodation bill system ; and if the insolvent indulged the propensity he appeared to have of accepting bills for the ac commodation of others, and again appeared in that Court, he would not, supposing its powers to continue, obtain any benefit from it under the term of five years, without he had the consent of his creditors. The insolvent said that there was not the least fear of his coming to this Court again. —(Laughter.) The insolvent was ordered to be discharged. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.' CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English Grain and Flour this week have Leen moderate, and there is another good supply of foreign Wheat, the best of which pays duty. The Wheat trade con tinues very dull, and prices are Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper than Monday. Barley and Pease are unaltered. Beans are rather lower. Oats find few buyers to-day, and the rates of Monday are unaltered. In the Flour trade dullness prevails, and ship parcels are selling for less money. Who At .

LONDON : FRIDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 29, 1837. In another part of The Sun will be found the Message of President VAN BUREN to the_ Congress of the United States. As the Congress was as sembled in consequence of th• unprecedented pecuniary embarrassments in which the States were involved, it was natural to expect that monetary affairs would oc cupy a prominent place in the Address of the PRESI DENT. There is in fact no other subject treated of. M. VAN BUREN begins his discourse by an attempt to trace he commercial disaster which lately befel his country to This, he hesitates not to affirm, was an ex cessive issue of paper currency, stimulating speculation to an extravagant height. The banking capital of the is stairce. United States, which in the beginning of 1834 amounted to 200 millions of dollars, had on the Ist of January, 1836, increased to 251 millions ; the bank-notes in circulation, from 95 millions to upwards of 140 millions ; and the loans and discounts of the banks from 324 millions to 457 millions. T. this in crease are to be added many millions of credit acquired by foreign loans and accommodations from foreign mer chants. Upon these data the PRESIDENT founds what may be called his theory of the American crisis. " The consequences," observes he, " of this redun dancy of credit, and of the spirit of reckless specula t. on engendered by it, were a foreign debt contracted by our citizens, estimated in March last at more than 30,000,000 dollars ; the extension to traders in the interior of our country of credits for supplieg, greatly beyond the wants of the people ; the investment of 39,500,000 dollars in unproductive public lands, in tl►e years 1835 and 1836, whilst in the preced• 1g year the sales amounted to only 4,500,000 dollars the creation of debts to an almost countless amount, for real estwe in existing or anticipated cities and villages, equally unproductive, and at prices now seen to have been greatly disproportionate to their real value ; the expenditure of immense sums in improve ments, which, in many cases, have been found to be ruinously improvident ; the diversion to other pursuits of much of the labour that should have been ap plied to agriculture; thereby contributing to the expert diture of large stuns in the importation of grain from Europe—an expenditure which, amounting in 1834 to about 250,000 dollars was in the first two quarters of the present year increased to more than 2,000,000 ds.; and finally, without enumerating other injurious results, the rapid growth among all classes, and especially in ourgreat commercial towns, of luxurious habits, fouUded too often on merely fancied wealth, and detrimental alike to the industry, the resources and the morals of our people." To these causes the PRESIDENT adds another which had, we believe, never, in this country at least, been considered in so - serious and important a light— namely, the losses sustained in the fire that took place in New York in 1835. On a cursory perusal of the Message—for we have not yet been able to read it with the attention which it deserves—there appears to us to run through the whole document a desire to magnify the dangers of a paper currency, aLd to exalt the benefits of a metallic one. This was perhaps to be expected from Mr. VAN BultEN's known sentiments on the subject; and from the hints thrown out in more than one part of the present Address, there can be no doubt that it is the intention of the PRESIDENT to fol low up the financial policy of his predecessor. It remains to be seen whether the Conress will not interpose its authority to prevent the adoption of measures to which many persons, both in America and England, are disposed to attribute a considerable effect in producing the commercial calamity with which both countries have so lately been visited. We have just received horn our intelligent Contem porary, the West Briton, a report of a Reform dinner given on Monday last, at Truro, by his constituents, to Mr. TURNER, the Liberal Member for that borough. At this dinner the Hon. Gentleman took t h e uppc.ounity of stating that he had been designated a Tors, and ranked among Ow mitAor of tho4e would support the interests of the faction in Parliar mrnt, Now this, he said, was a most unfounded ARRIVALS.
