I will stand only upon the actual facts that have occurred ; and without saying that it is possible for this House to afford any direct remedy upon the subject, I will say that it is fit that the public notice should be called to the case, in order that in consequence of the discussion which I hope will take place—in consequence of the condemnation (which I think will be general) of such an attempt to govern the elections —persons may not for the future endeavour to say " here are men who do not agree with us in opinion—hcre are men with whose religion we differ— here are men who go to consitute a majority against us ; for these reasons, and upon such pretences, we will raise the country for petitions to subvert them."—(Loud cheering.) Sir CHARLES DOUG LAS wished to know whether at the time before there was any coalition between the Noble Lord and the Hon. and Learned Member, who at the begin ning of his Parliamentary career was called the franking Mem ber for Ireland, but who since had been well-known as the temporary Member for Dublin—he wished to know whether at that time the Noble Lord was not aware that large sums of money were systematically collected to further the elections of that party to which the Noble Lord was attached ? The Noble Lord might think that Constitutional ; he ( Sir Chas. Douglas) did not. The Noble Lord and his Colleagues might very probably think their coalition with the Honourable and Learned Member of very considerable importance, and there fore, they continued steady to engagements, which many of them in their hearts wished they had never contracted. Their coalition was indeed as cl!sgraceful to themselves as their continuance in office had Leen pernicious to the country.— ( Laughter and cheers.) He repeated the remark, a!:(1 he thought that the majority of the House must agree with him, when he reminded them that the coalition of the Ministry was with one who could not speak of his own countrymen but as " hereditary bondsmen," nor of the people of England except as the most " priest-ridden" people in Europe. The question was then put and carried. The House adjourned at a quarter past ten. POS -HORSE ABUSES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUA: NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT. Sta,—My business repeatedly calls me to different parts of this island, to which there are no public stages, that is, to the towns of Yarmouth, Freshwater, Brading, Shaoklin, and Ni:on; my circumstances will not allow of my keeping a In rse and gig, and I can but ill-afford to hire one, and it tl erefore appears hard to me that I should be obliged to pay such a heavy duty, while my more affluent neighbour can keep his poney and chaise (as I am informed) without paying one farthing. The poney and chaise that I hire appears, and, I believe is one that some Don has driven till he was ashamed to drive it any longer; the boor thing's knees broken, the chaise making a most delightful rattle, yet this condemned concern, which in its best days paid no duty, before I can hire it is taxed as folows : —license, 7s. 6d ; assessed tax on the carriage 41. 10F. per annum ; then cne-fifth of all that the poney earns, or lid. per mi!e for every mile it travels ; the ex ciseman is constant in his visits, and his long Lordship gives every annoyance, actually, I hear, demanding Is. 9d. duty to Carisbrook and back, two miles. If Igo to Brading, 6s. for the proprietor, and Is. 6d. for tl:e exciseman, making it 75. 6d. ; if I keep it all day it is 12s. 6d., I Os. for the carriage, &c., and 2s. 6d., I must pay duty. Now Mr. Editor, I con sider this too bad; though I have yet not told you half the worst, which I must reserve for my next letter, fearing I should take up too much of your valuable parer. lam Sir, your's, A TRUE REFORMER.

THE Bar.r.oT.—The Reformers of this town have called a public meeting for Tuesday evening ❑ext, to petition Parlia ment to give the voter the protection of the Ballot—Lord Yarborough having expressed himself favourably to it, will insure the return of the Liberal Members for the Borough, and will most certainly prevent the island being ntis-repre sented by a Tory at the next election. The inhabitants of the towns of Ryde and Cowes have for a long time wished to have their streets lighted with gas ; but our Tory Town-clerk, dreading the light, has succeeded in keeping them in darkness. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Szit—l understand that a private Band is about to be formed, as is the custom, for her Majesty's use ; and I am sure you will coincide with me in the hope that this depart ment, as has heretofore Lem the case, will rot now be exclu sively composed of Foreigners. I desire not to be invidious—but I ask, is it not a disparage ment of native talent—is it not an injustice to the Musicians of this country, that natives of no matter what foreign State should be exclusively employed by our Sovereign ? Our late respectable Monarch, seeing the plpable injustice of such a system, did in some measure seek to remedy it ; and I feel assured that the good sense her Majesty has evinced, in shew tug her anxiety for the welfare of all classes of her subjects,4 will point out to her the justice of extending a fostering hand to native talent of every description, and amongst the rest, I trust, the British Musician will not be forgotten. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant, A FRIEND TO THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF NATIVE TALENT. Dec. 1, 1837. ROCKINGHAM PEERAGE.— (From a Corres pondent.)--In the Morning Herald, and some other papers, it is stated that her Majesty's Government is about to create Earl Fitzwilliam, Marquis of Rockingham. We are in formed that the various patents of nobility of Thomas Watson, Earl of Rockingham, &c., are all limited to the heirs male of the family, who, it will be seen from national records, changed their name from Watson to TVentworth, to inherit vast be queathed estates ; and that Thomas Watson, a bumble member in the establishment of the Morning Advertiser, Fleet street, is a lineal descendant, and one of the male heirs to" Rockingham." If this be the case, we hope the \%hig Government, who lay claim to the character of " Reformers of abuses," will not pas sively sanction the usurpation or encroachment of one man's hereditary rights by another. The laws of inheritance in Eng. land are perfectly dissimilar, to the injury of ancient nobility. Thus, an heir to entailed lands will be barred if he is ignorant of his rights, and does net claim them within sixty years ; but now, by 2 and 3 of William IV., territorial claims are re stricted to twenty years ; whereas, on the other hand, no term of years can bar or deprive an heir to a peerage, nor is there any law to compel a perscn to take up his title or peer age in the House of Lords, as was exemplified in the case of the eccentric Colonel Hanger, by descent Lord Coleraine, the boon companion of George the Fourth, and relative of Lord Holland. One of the causes that prevents persons ap plying for their titles is, perhaps, the enormous fees charge able on peerage claims. It is not generally known that a bar rister is entitled to the fee of fifty guineas in moving in the House of Lords to prove a pedigree of a claimant. The country is aware that in the peerages of Willoughby de Parham, Marquis Hastings, Marquis Stafford, and others on • record, those titles %ere given away to favourites, without caution, or any investigation after the heirs of those respective ancient families. The consequence was, an inquiry was set on foot by the real heirs, and aft: r much toil and expense, they ultimately obtained their inheritances, not much to the honour Hof the parties who made light of their rights ; the last of those injured heirs was Lieutenant Francis Hastings, R. N., afterwards Earl Huntingdon. We hope, for the dignity of the Crown, and honour of the House of Lords, that the Rock ingham peerage will not be so hastily given away to the pre judice of heirs male, before due inquiry be made. JANE LOMAX ; OR, A MOTHER'S CRIME.—This new work, by the celebrated author of " Rejected Addresses," promises, from all we hear of it, to compete in interest and popularity with his " Brambletye House," which, at the time of its production, ran almost a parallel career with one of the 'most celebrated of Walter Scott's novels, which appeared at th sane time. Y et i ts character is said to be wholly dif ferent, and in no degree " histo , ical"—on the contrary, it is zul entirely original story, having for its object to illustrate the passions, the aff,ctions, and the humours of actual life in that most fertile source of novelty and interest_the middle rank of English society. " LOVE."—It is to be hoped, that at the commence ment of the reign of a youthful and lovely Queen, even the newly opening prospects of politics itself will be allowed to give the pas to such an announcement as that which has just met our eye—a new novel entitled " Love," by the loveliest woman of er day, and one of the most ch irming and atiraciive female writers of any day. If we mistake not, this most piquant an :nouncement was made nearly twelc e months ago. Why the :fulfilment of it has been so loog delayed, we have no means of :levowing ; but may it not be that the peculiar circumstances on 'hick the story is said to be founded were of a nature to make ttia delay politic at least, if not indispensable ?

The House of Loans did not meet yesterday. In the HOUSE OF COMMONS the 66 SpormsvvooDE conspi racy" formod, almost exclusively, the subject of the night's discussion. The speeches on both sides, it will be seen, were sharp, and the proceedings throughout were characterised by more than ordinary animation as well as by much interest and importance. After an announcement from the SPEAKER re lative to some Election Petitions, Mr. O'BRIEN, the Member for Limerick, presented a petition from himself, complaininu of the SPOTTISWOODE subscriptions, and of the conduct of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT in referonce to them, which gave rise to some smart discussion. Ultimately the House divided, when the motion was carried by a majority of 31. Lord JOIN RUSQELI, then brourzht forward his motion, fixing the time at %Lich the Election Petitions arc to be taken into consideration. He moved that the first upon the list be con sidered on the 6th of Fctoruary. The Noble Lf.,rd then brought up the second port of the Commission of Inquiry into -Church Accommodation in Sc,tllnd. On the motion of Mr. S LEFEVRE, the Highway Rates Bill was read a second time, and referred to a Select Com mittee. The Municipal Officers Declaration Bill was read a third time. The second reading of the Custudy of Insane Persons Bill was postpoecd till to-day. Lord Jour; RUSSELL obtained leave to bring in a Bill "to regulate the terms of payment of rates and taxes by Parlia mentary electors, and to abolish the stamp duty on the ad mission of freemen." Sir R. PEEL gave notice that he should bring forward a motion for the postponement of Mr. C. BULLER'S Bill relat ing to Controverted Elections. Mr. BLEwIT r moved his five resolutions relative to the subscriptions raised by the Tories in aid of petitions against the return of the Liberal Members. The Hon. Member for Monmouth, however, after some lively discussion, consented to withdraw them, since the whole subject would come before the House this evtning on the presentation of Mr. SbIITII O'BRIEN'S petition. In a later stage of the proceedings Lord J. RUSSELL took occasion to announce to Lord STANLEY, " that he was not to leave the House with an assurance that the con federacy formed for the purpose of collecting money by sub scription, to displace Irish Members, and Irish Members only, was to remain unnoticed by Pailiament." The House adjourned at a Quarter-past Ten o'Clock. The proceedings in the House of Commons last light are highly interesting, assuming, as they do, ;hat character wlich blends amusement with edifica ion. It may, perhaps, appear to some to be a de parture from senatorial dignity to exhibit any signs of human frailty in the august assembly of the Repre sentatives of the people ; but we do not carry our no tions of legislative decorum quite so far. We like to see a natural burst of individual character now and then making its way through the dull artificial haze which pervades the regions of legislation. It is an agreeable variety, if nothing else. To begin with Sir EDWARD SUGDEN. Is it not refreshing to recognize in the conduct of this Learned Gentleman, last night, the effects of disappointed ambition, work ing upon a temper proverbially testy ? Sir EDWARD is now never happy, but when he is snarling and snapping. Then comes our old friend Colonel SIBTHORP, terrible in form as a " whiskered Pandour, or a fierce Hussar," but exhibiting all those symptoms of mental innocuousness which have hitherto characterised his political hostilities. Who is not pleased to see the beautiful developement of the black-letter bump on the cranium of Mr. WILLIAM WYNN, as he strains his throat on the subject of order and ancient privilege ? Can any one mistake the thick-headedness of a KNA TCII BULL for that of any other human being ? And does not GOULBURN stand confessed in last night's debate, as in all others, the dullest sayer of nothings—the most tedious of Parliamentary twaddlers ? The SPOTTISWOODE gang, and their backers in the House, were in the end taught a lesson which we hope they will lay to heart. Their attempt to screen " Old Glory" from the consequences of a participation in their conspiracy, ended in a division in which the numbers on the Ministerial side were 234, on that of the Opposition 203, giving to the former a majority of 31. The demeanour of Sir F. BURDETT on this occasion, was such as might have been expected from that half-crazy old man. He seems to retain as much sense of his degradation as to render him ex tremely irritable when any allusion to it is made, but not so much judgment as to prevent him from accus ing others of those things of which he himself has been guilty to a greater extent than any other living man. Gracchus complainin g of sedition is but a faint shadowing forth of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT deprecating agitation. It will hardly be believed that the renegade Baronet, in a state of great excitement of course—actually charged Mr. O'CONNELL With " agitation II" Nothing the dereliction of reason could more c l ear ly s h o w than this circumstance ; for every one knows that the Baronet's public life, up to the time that Mr. O'CONNELL'S. to xering genies ec , lipsed the glimmer of his fe e bl e intellectual ray, was one scene of agitation and tumult. There is, we are aware, a mighty difference in the object of the agi tators. Mr. O'CoNNELL''s agitation is directed entirely to the good of his country-. It is to the last degree dis inrerested and patriotic. Sir FRANCIS has proved that his agitation was altogether personal, and adopted as a means—the only means he possessed— of gaining that notorie:y which his heart longed for above all things —and which, it is evident, it still longs for, even amid the vrrock of his faculties, and the extinction of his political character. We cannot here omit noticing a circumstance that occurred just before the division took place. Sir FRANCIS. after his ;frantic display of imbecile rage against Mr. O'CONII,ELL, h o bbl e d out o f the THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1837. House, bowing with a mountebank sort of courtesy to the Chair, when the SPEAKER happened, just at the moment he reached the bar, to call out " Stran gers will withdraw." There was a general roar of laugh ter at the expense of the Hon. Baronet. A public meeting took place yesterday at the Lon don Tavern, of the Reform electors of the City, for the purpose of considering the steps necessary to be taken, in consequence of the petition presented by the Tories against the return of the four sitting Mem bers. At this meeting, which was crowded to an overflow, and at which the greatest ardour and unani mity prevailed throughout the proceedings, it was re solved that a subscription should be entered into, to defend the return of those liberal and influential Representatives whom the Tories, by dint of a long purse, and all sorts of plausible calumnies, are endeavouring to deprive of their seats in Parliament. On this point Mr. TRAVERS observed, " I have read the Tory petition somewhat carefully, and I can state without hesitation that it is full of allegations, as false and absurd as they are scandalous. We are there charged with bribery and intimidation ; with per jury and the subornation of perjury ; with false per sonation ; and everything that is black in the catalogue of political crimes—and this to come from the Tories at any time I But I think I can solve the riddle for you. These men having been at the late election somewhat more inti mate with such practices than they ought to have been, are willing to anticipate a difficulty which may fall back on themselves ; arid therefore they accuse you first of those things with which they are, I believe, themselves exclusively chargeable." Mr. TRAVERS has here hit the right nail on the head. Their own internal consciousness of the bribery and corruption of which they have so recently been guilty, to an extent almost without parallel, compels the Tories to believe that their opponents have been equally guilty. " The thief (loth fear each bush an officer ;" and in the return of every Liberal Mem ber this corrupt faction fancies it can recognize a return brought about by the same unconstitu tional influences A 5 enabled Sir FRANCIS BUR DETT to defeat Mr. METHUEN in North Wilts. But the Tories will not profit much by their petition, as respects the City of London, for the Reformers have a strong case in their favour, arid, from the zealous and resolute spirit manifested at yesterday's meeting, we are quite convinced that the requisite funds will not be wanting on the day of action. Montreal Papers to the 14th ult., have been re ceived this morning. The Lieutenant-Governo r was adopting precautionary measures against any future at tempt to disturb the public peace, but it does not ap pear from the papers that the PAPINEAU p arty in tend to push matters to extremities before every other mode of obtaining a redress of grievances fail them. The following proclamation was issued by the Mon treal Magistracy on the 10th ult., for the purpose of putting a stop to the drilling of corps of young men bdonging to the Liberal party, who, for some time past, were in the habit of meeting to perfect themselves in military exercises : Whereas information under oath has been received, that bodies of men are in the habit o f assem bli ng toget h er for the ostensible purpose of performing military manoeuvres, and whereas such meetings are contrary to law, and calculated to create tumults and disorders, and to lead to other disastrous consequences, the Magistrates do hereby strictly enjoin and command all persons to abstain from taking part in such un lawful assemblages, and do give notice that they will employ all lawful means to suppress the same ; and the Magistrates do hereby prohibit all public meetings and processions which are of a nature to distuib the public peace, and they do call upon all loyal and well-disposed citizens to abstain from acts which arc likely, in the present excited state of public feeling, to endanger the peace of the city. " By order of the Magistrates assembled in Special Ses sions of the Peace, " DELISLE AND DELISLE, &c. " Montreal, Nov. 10, 1537." It is gratifying to those who wish well to Portugal to find that the Representatives of the People and the Government, during the arduous struggles in which they have been engaged for the last fifteen months, have continued to conduct themselves with such firmness and moderation, as to defeat all the pro jects and disprove the mal:gnant assertions of their bitterest enemies. After the change which took place in September, last year, prophecy followed prophecy from these interested accusors—there was no hope of safety from such a Constitution, and such a demo cratic Government, and nothing could be ex pected by any rational being but anarchy and plunder, the extinction of monarchy, and the abrogation of the best institutions of the country. Within that period, the energy of the Government, backed by the people, put down without difficulty two formidable conspiracies—the Legislative body went on quietly remodelling the Constitution, and within these few days have brought their labours to a conclusion —very properly leaving one point which affects alike the Crown and the Senate to the deliberation and decision of the next Legislature. Hardly could triumph be greater or vic tory more honourable, when on the one hand we look at the excited state of the people, caused by the hostility of the Court, the nobles, and the priesthood ; and on the other, at the humanity of the ♦ictors, the total abstinence from sangui nary revenge, and the moderation of the Re presentatives in limiting the power of those whom they have still reason to dread. Such has been their prudence, and so steadily have they steered a course between absolute Monarchy and Democracy, that these false prophets now ask what has been gained by the overthrow of the Charter, without seeing the diffi culty in which they are placed, by admitting that the Government have not been guilty of the changes im puted to them, and that the Chartists twice risked a civil war for no earthly object but to restore themselves to office. They know well, however, and the people know, that the labours of the Congress have not been in vain. They have laid a foundation for measures to curtail the too extensive prerogatives of the Crown, and the hitherto almost uncontroulled influence of the Nobility and Clergy ; and they have established the fact that the people through their Representatives may be en trusted with drawing up a plan for a limited Monarchy, notwithstanding all the " abominable intrigues of exiled Republicans and Radical clubs." The result has shown that these clubs had not the power, if they had the wish, to commit the excesses charged to their account. Affairs have-now assumed a more settled aspect, and what has occurred within the last twelve month leads us to hope that the BANDEIRA Ministry will be able to preserve order, and take the necessary steps for extricating the country from its financial diffi culties. Letters and Papers from Madrid, to the 28th ult., have been received. A Royal Decree appears in the Gazette of the 27th, accepting the resignation of Don RAFAEL PEREZ, late Minister of the Interior, on the plea of bad health, and appointing ULLOA, Mi nister of Marine, to discharge ad interim the duties of Home Minister. A second Decree appoints Don MIGUEL CABRERA DE NEVARES Political Chief of the Capital. The Madrid Journals speak confidently of the appointment of the Marquis DE ESPEJA as the Representative of Spain at the French Couit ; and notwithstanding the known incapacity of that Nobleman, some of them insist that it would be diffi cult to select a person better qualified from among those who enjoy the QUEEN S confidence. On the 27th the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne was read in the Chamber of Deputies, and a debate ensued which was not concluded before the mails left Madrid. Only two days previously, the diligence which runs between the capital and La Graiva was robbed by fifteen mounted Carlists, who carried away the four passengers prisoners, after politely requesting the driver ' to inform the Government of what had happened I Outrages of this description are now committed in neatly all the provinces of Spain with impunity. " The KING'S name is a tower of strength" to such " roving commissioners" as prefer plunder extorted from the defenceless to the produce of honest industry. We have no news of any political interest from the North of Spain, save a confirmation of the report that the PRETENDER had arrested his principal officers on aclia w r . g a e s of to conspiringhzgoationsctoliiliiten. to terms w i t h the The obj ec t o f t h e plot QuEEN'sGovernment, and it is added thatEsPA itTERo and a number of the moderate party were privy to it; and had assented to its principal provision , . Be this as it may, Don CARLOS was greatly enraged, and expressed himself determined to come to no accommo dation with the QUEEN, unless her MAJESTY de scended from the Throne, and proclaimed him its law ful and rightful occupant—a condition which there is no probability of her ever fulfilling. On the 19th General ORAA defeated the Carlists near Arcora, under the joint command of CABRERA, RUM, and FORCADEL. The Christinos in this engagement took 300 prisoners, including several officers of high rank. RIBERA'S division entered Los Arcos, and CABRERA, with the remains of his shattered forces, retired to Onda, where he was busily engaged in throw ing up defensive works. ESPARTERO is still idle at Pamplona ; and Don CARLOS remains at Amunio. The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all reached us. They are filled with political speculations re specting the line of policy which the new Chambers will adopt. According to one organ, the interest on the Five per Cents. will be reduced ; another hints at an active Spanish intervention ; and a third is posi tive not only of the maintenance but of the extension of the French power in Africa. The election of the Vice-President and four Secretaries of the Chamber is likewise discussed with considerable animation. On Tuesday a high mass and solemn funeral service was performed at the Church of the Invalides for the repose of the soul of General DANIREMONT and the French killed at the capture of Constantine. The Duke of ORLEANS and some other members of the Royal family were present. All passed off quietly. A letter from Corfu, of Nov. 4, has the following account : In the night of the 2d of this month, a band of pirates landed on the north coast of our island, and proceeded to the village of Ifacheria, where they broke into the house of a per un, named Baster, maltreated hi s amity, and carried off a pretty considerable supply of m o n e y ; they &so did much damage to the house and furniture. The Castor English frigate was immediately ordered to cruise on the coast of the islands on the scene of the robbery, and to explore the isle of Celestina, and the hay of Aviona. This search was in vain. The Captain then sent Lieut Kerr, with several boats to explore the envi rons of the port of Palermo. While they were engaged in searching a ship that lay at anchor in the port, they were sud denl% assailed by a very brisk fire of musketry from behind the rocks and the baths on the shore. But at that moment the frigate came up, took possession of the ship in question, which mounted several guns, and brought it hither. The captain of these pirates is the celebrated Margariti Colin, who lately landed and committed various robberies on the coast of Naples, near Otranto. None of the crer' of the frigate were wounded. —Le Commerce. FRENCH FUNDS. -PARTS, Dac. 5. Five per Cents., 106 f. 95c. 107 f. 10c. 15c. Faun per Cents., 101 f.

The stay of the Court did not exceed a month, at the Pavilion. The late King, and his illustrious Consort generally resided there four months in each year. The Dowager Queen Adelaide continues to take her usual carriage airings at Hastings when the weather per mits, and, we are happy to state, continues to improve in health. His Grace the Duke of Wellington having ad dressed a petition to the Queen, entreating her Majesty " to take under her gracious protection and patronage, and to be come the Patron of the United Service Museum," her Majesty has been graciously pleased to signify, through the Secretary of State, her assent to his Grace's request. Mr. 'Winston Barrow, M.P., and a deputation, had an interview yesterday with the President of the Board of Trade, respecting the increased duties imposed in Portugal on fish imported from Newfoundland. FREEMASONRY.—The Grand Lodge in London have determined that the Asylum for the aged Mason is de serving the support of the Craft. A celebrated preacher used to tell his hearers that there were three companions with whom a man should always keep on good terms—his wife, his stomach, and his conscience. In consequence of the pressure of business her Ma jesty will not be able to leave Buckingham Palace much be fore Christmas, and the 23d is now the period fixed for the re moval of the Court to Windsor. Sr. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Mr. Braham last night produced another successful novelty, called Wanted a Brigand. The plot is as follows :—Lauretta (Miss Rainforth) an Italian lady, having taken an aversion to all common-place lovers, and being filled with a romantic admiration of brigands, &c., the Count Julian de Beauvais ( Braham), disguises himself as the celebrated Fra Diavolo, in hopes of gaining her affections by that method. On the evening of a grand ball he enters her window, and, pretending to be pursued by the police, holds a pistol to her head, and demands safety. She ac cords it, and he thereupon dresses himself in her brother's clothes and joins the party. The lady's maid, finding the cast-off brigand's suit, searches the pockets, and discovers papers whicli prove that he is really Count Julian. Lauretta revenges herself by calling the police into the house, and thereby terrifying the pseudo brigand out of his wits. After teasing him awhile she bestows on him her hand, and the cur tain falls. A comic part is introduced in the person of a minister of police, acted by Harley. A number of airs are introduced and sung by Braham, Miss Rainforth, and Miss Julia Smith, the minister's wife. The burletta is a pleasant little piece,and it went off with much applause. POST-OFFICE REFORM.—We observe that public meetings have been held in a number of towns throughout the kingdom, and that petitions are in course of signature in favour of Mr. Hill's economical system of postage. CHURCH RATES.—After many attempts for car rying Church-rates, at Sutton-in- Ashfield, the voluntary prin ciple has, at last, been adopted. The town of Blackburn was thrown into a state of some excitement on Thursday morning last, in consequence of the dead body of a young woman having been discovered in some water near Mr. Fielden's factory in that town, under rather suspicious circumstances. It appeared in evidence be fore the Coroner's Jury, who sat on Thursday, that the de ceased left her parents' house early on the morning of Wednes day, with the intention of going to her work at Mr. Fielden's. She did not return at the proper time ; and as she had left home in good health and spirits, it was thought she had taken a journey out of the town. On Thursday morning, however, she was found as we have stated. The part of the water where she was found is several hundred yards out of the road to Mr. Fielden's factory. When taken out of the water there appeared on the head of the deceased several contusions, and behind the left ear a large gash, neither of which injuries, it is supposed, could have been inflicted by the stones at the bottom of the water. When she left home she had on her bonnet and shoes, whieh have not yet been found. The inquest was adjourned. —Manchester Guardian. Friday morning, between ten and eleven o'clock, as a servant girl, named Ann Pearce, was cleaning the win dows on the first floor of the house of James Broughton, Esq., of Gower-street, Bedford-square, she overbalanced herself, and fell upon tl.c iron rails beneath, on one of which she hung until lifted off by some persons passing at the moment, who conveyed her to the hospital in a fainting state from loss of blood, where she at present remains in a very precarious con dition. _ A sprightly couple appeared before the hymeneal altar at Crosthwaite Church, Keswick, on Monday last, and when the ceremony was performed it proved to be the eleventh time they had, between them, appeared for the same purpose ; she being to him a fourth wife, and he to her a seventh hus band, he having actually interred three wives, and she having done the like to six husbands. The bridegroom's name was William Winder, and the bride's name Margaret Welsh, both of Thornthwaite, near Keswick.— Whitehaven Herald. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) MORRIS V. DAVIS. Mr. SPENCE resumed his reply this morning in this appeal, but had not concluded when we left. The appeal has already taken four or five days in argument. CHANCERY COURT.--(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR did not attend his Court at Lin coln's Inn Hall to-day, having to attend the House of Lords to hear appeals. VICE-CHANCERY.-(TIIIS DAY.) LLOYD V. BIGNOLD.-NORWICH UNION OFFICE. Mr. WICIRAM, at the sitting of the Court, stated that an ap plication had been made in the above case a short time since for an injunction, which the Court refused to grant—since that period a meeting bad taken place at Norwich, the result of which was, that with respect to some of the charges, on in formation and belief, contained in the affidavit that was read, the gentleman making that affidavit was satisfied that some of them were unfounded, and with respect to the other, the party against whom they were made disputed them altogether. All parties, therefore, agreed that all the proceedings should be taken off the file without costs. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE—Every charge that has been made is considered as withdrawn, and such as the parties are not satis fied with is put in a train of inquiry. lam anxious that your Honour should understand that this is the case with respect to the Norwich Union. All parties now are upon the most friendly terms, and every one is desirous that all the proceed ings which have taken place in this Court should be removed from its files without costs. The VICE- CEIANCELLOR—If I had been persuaded to grant the injunction, I am afraid we should have had an endless dispute. Mr. KNIGHT BRUCE I think that is more than proba ble, Sir.

Accounts from Manchester this morning state that there was an improved demand for almost all descriptions of finished goods; and for all the lower number of yarns, at prices somewhat higher than those obtained on and previously to that day; though scarcely at rates which would remunerate spinners and manufacturers for the increased price of cotton. Advices have been received from Swaii River, which state that the colony was rapidly improving. The wages of com mon labourers were from 4s. to 6s. per day, and mechanics could earn from 7s. 6d. to 10s. Rumours are already afloat in Paris of the King's Speech at the convocation of the Chambers. Among- these, are that the conversion of the 5 per cents. would be recommended ; also, an intervention in the affairs of Spain. Now, that France has resumed her influence in the banish councils, these rumours produced an unfavourable effect on the Funds. TILE FUNDS.

The sales of cotton to-day are about 5,000 bales; we have no change to note in the prices, although the market has been void of animation ; 400 bales Surat have been taken on speculation. Saturday, whilst two servant girls, named Coyle and Melley, went to bring some water from a well in Lifford, as old wall, which they had to pass on their way, fell upon and killed them both on the spot. SHORT . VVORK.--A young shopkeeper of this city ( Chester) having paid his addresses to a young female of his own station in life, gained her friends' consent to his union with her, and the Thursday in last week was fixed for the marriage, when on Monday he received a letter from his be trothed, tellinr , him she would never s e e hi m mor e, in conse quence of his having been seen on the day previous to kiss his servant Peggy. Mortified at the discovery, and anxious to punish the indignant lady's anger, he procured a license, and was married to Peggy before twelve o'clock on the same day. —Chester Courant. Two labouring men, named Thomas M'Keevor and Michael Murphy, were suffocated on the night of Wednesday, the 29th., at Castletown, near Dundalk, in consequence of fire, placed in a pot, having been incautiously and improperly introduced into the room where they slept, the apartment being at the time without any means of ventilation.—Drogheda Journal. Yesterday morning Elizabeth Reed, who was tried at the last summer assizes for the murder of George Burgess, at Waddington, and acquitted on the ground of insanity, since which time she has remained in custody, suffocated herself in a pail of water. She had been left alone in the yard by the other prisoners confined with her, and during their absence she plunged her head into the pail, and in this situation she was discovered lifeless about nine minutes afterwards. The poor creature was about 70 years of age.— York Herald. At the City of London Sessions on Tuesday an ap peal on the part of the London Missionary Society against an award of the Magistrates, rendering them liable to Church_ rates due to St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, was affirmed. The ground of opposition was the absence of beneficial occupation. The Bench allowed a special case to be argued in the superior Court of Westminster. Three other persons were on Saturday committed to York Castle, to await their trial at the next Assizes, for tak ing pint in the disturbances at Bradford, on Monday week.— Halifax Express. _ The largest cask of wine ever imported into Cork is now on the Quay; it is an original vat of nearly 500 impe rial gallons ; it is in its way a perfect curiosity. Henceforward newspapers will pass free by the London Two-penny Post, except where printed within the limits for the time being of the General Post delivery. Money orders are in future to be subject only to a single postage, in addition to the poundage of Bd. for the order. The Post-office have also made arrangements to remunerate pilots and others who land letters, &c., from homeward bound ships. TITHE OF WOOL.—In the Exchequer Equity sit tings on Tuesday, Baron Alderson gave judgment in a case where a farmer, occupying two farms, one of which was tithe free, drove the sheep which were usually kept on the other farm to the tithe-free farm to be sheared, in order to avoid payment of tithe on wool. His Lordship said that it was evident the sheep had been driven to the tithe-free farm for the purpose of defrauding the Rector (the Rev. Mr. Hall, of Houlton, near Buckering, Lincolnshire,) of the tithe of wool, and he must decree that an account be rendered of the amount of wool thus improperly removed. ABSTINENCE.—There are two methods of being sober: one is by moderation in drinking intoxicating liquors, and the other total abstinence from them. The moderation plan is difficult, unsafe, and uncertain. The abstinent one is easy, safe and sure. A PARTICULAR DIRECTION.—A short time since a letter bearing the following curious superscription, was put into the post-office in Manchester :—" For Mr. Colwell that ai in keeps the shop in Back Anderson-street, to be gave to Jack Timlen that keeps the pigs in his own seller Back Ander son-street—the Irish man that has the large family that bgs the mail from Mr. Colwell and milk to Bolton." IRVINGISM.—This sad delusion of the mind has received a shock recently at Milford, near Southampton, which may tend to open the eyes of some of its votaries. One of their prophets, a Mr. Ballard, for some years a chief supporter of the sect, went to their principal Chapel there, and declared to the assembled people that they were all in a fatal error, and if they persevered in it they would be lost. He ordered them to leave the Chapel immediately, which they did with amaze ment ; some of them he was actually obliged to force out. He then ordered a builder to raze the Chapel to the ground. He has acted in a similar way in two different places of their as sembling in adjoining parishes. According to a letter from Gottingen, the statue of William IV. in that town was, on the morning of the 25th ult., fund to have been decorated during the night with a crown of laurels, as a testimony, it was supposed, to the memory of the founder of the Constitution of 1833. In the memoirs of the late Bishop of Norwich, edited by his son, we have, from the pen of the Bishop, the follow- I ing short but correct character of the first man of the age : " The Duke of Wellington," say. the Bishop, " is an un daunted soPier, an indefatigable officer, and a man with- i out vanity, possessing the expanse of an Alexander, the ver satility of a Caesar, and the native genius of a Marlborough." COURT CTE C ULA.R. DEC. s.—The Princess Sophia Matilda;isited her Majesty yesterday afternoon. Her Royal Highness also paid a visit to the Duchess of Kent at the new Palace.

Dr. Addams having concluded hia address, Sir Herbert Jen ner gave judgment on the part of their Lordships, reversing the decree of the Court below, but, under the circumstances, without giving costs. Mr. Tinney, Q. C., addressed their Lordships during th e remainder of the sitting on an appeal f rom th e Court of Chan cery on " St. Vincent Robert Stratton and others v. Ja mes Sy rnon. " Lord Brougham notified, at the rising; of the Court, that tio appeal must stand over, as their Lordships could not natne l : day for the further hearing of the case, some Indian app ea ,. and several Ecclesiastical ewes having been fixed for the lowing days.
