LONDON : TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1837. PROCEEDINGS OF PARLIAMENT DURING THE PRESENT WEEK. As some ignorance prevails respecting the proceed ings of Parliament at its meeting, even among Mem bers, we have taken some trouble to obtain information on the subject, from the proper quarter. To-morrow the doors of the House of Commons will be thrown open, and all those who, upon being asked the question, declare themselves Members, will be admitted. At two o'clock there will be a Commission in the House of Lords, when the Commons, having been summoned to the Bar, and after hearing the Commis sion read, will be directed to return to their own House, and immediately proceed to the election of a Speaker, whom they will be directed to present at the Bar of the House of Lords on the following day, (Thursday). The Commons havincr returned to their House will immediately (no Member having been yet sworn) proceed to the choice of Speaker, and that having been done, the Gentleman upon whom the choice has fallen will be presented at the bar of the House of Lords on Thursday. He will proceed thither dressed in a small wig and dress-sword—not wearing his gown. The mace will then be carried up on the left arm of the Sergeant. The Royal approbation having been given to the choice of the House, the Speaker will de mand the usual privileges of freedom from arrest and of speech, &c.; which having been granted, the Speaker will then return—the mace being shouldered. On the Speaker's return to the llouse, he will take the oaths, and proceed to administer them to the other Members present until 4 o'clock. . The swearing in of Members will be continued daily from 12 o'clock until 4, and on Monday her MAJESTY Win open the Session for its proper business. Ohl Members of Parliament will see by the above that there is a marked alteration in the prrliminary proceedings with respect to taking the oath. Formerly the oath was administered to a number of Members before proceeding to elect a Speaker. Now all Members who present themselves by TWO o'clock, arc eligible to vote without being sworn. Such being the new state of things, it is, perhaps, hardly necessary to impress upon all true Reformers the imperative duty they owe to themselves and their constituents of being punctually at their post at Two o'Clock. For the information of the country generally, we shall report the names of all Members pre:cnt at the Election of Speaker, in our Second Edition. As the period of the meeting of Parliament ap proaches, the Tory public dinners increase in number ; just as if the Treasury Benches were only to be stormed by knives and forks. One of the leading or gans of the faction contains this morning reports of not less than three of these ovations, each of which is remarkable for the air of gloom and despondency—ill concealed beneath a show of bluster and bravado—that pervades the several speeches. At the Newbury dinner, in particular, nothing could well be more forlorn or discon solate than the tendency of the remarks which escaped from the lips of Mr. PA L M E 11, the leading spokesman of the evening. The genius of tribulation seemed to inspire his every thought—to sadden his every sentence. Once or twice he attempted to pluck up spirit, and even venture on something that bore an indistinct resem blance to a joke ; but the effort—and no wonder— was too much for him ; and he relapsed immediately into his old state of sullen discomfiture. All he had to say in favour of the Tories was, that " they were accused of assuming the name of Conservative, and of being ashamed of the name of Tory ; now he should be glad indeed to know what real abuse could be pointed out that the Conservatives -would not immediately set about reforming." There is a settled, quiet effrontery about this, infinitely amusing to those who remem ber the Manifesto of Sir ROBERT PEEL—that shilly-shally document, on which the whole faction pins its faith, and which !it may be remembered, ac knowledged the existence of abuses in one sentence, only to reject all remedies in the next. It is the mis fortune of the Tories never to see a grievance, except in their own removal from place and pay. They are stone-blind to everything that does not immediately -concern their own interests. They make their own personal p ros p er i ty a test of that of the country. They are the sublimest and most selfish of egotists, and would hazard a convulsion—as we saw in the memorable instance of the Reform Bill —sooner than make the slightest sacrifice to d u ty, h onour, or patriotism. Look at their conduct during the few months that their pet- Premier held office T. Did it not evinc e a disposition to retrograde, rather than to advance ? Was it not characterized by a cautious, but inveterate, hostility to the spirit of Reform ? And has it not been in oppo sition just what it was in office—purblind, narrow minded, and obstinately self-opinionated? And yet, N 7? rikkth we are to be told that these arc the men who will c`& l7 -prin4tfifilid gladly acquiesce in the removal of every k,,,...€# ,:2 - -tir6V44l*Sk? The idea is a perfect farce. The ( .... -- , - ,77,, , Fories,haiieliad every trial that they could possibly 0 'e..::'' r lia...'7e ---- :*eCts..4 ; and having failed in substantiating heir''Clainiik: public confidence, they have now no k 41 a . 01k, • kg ‘,› ( . 77irf ) right to be surprised or to complain that an irrevocable verdict of Guilty has gone forth against them. We insert, in another column, a letter signed " A Clergyman," in which the abusive language applied to the Bishop of NORWICH by the Times newspaper is anitnadverted upon with just severity. The paper from which we extract the letter is an organ of Toryism, and the writer is a Tory ; yet, to the praise of both be it spoken, they have too much respect for the cause and the principles which they advocate, to suppose that these can be benefited by applying to a political opponent epithets which outrage all the decencies of life. It might indeed have been supposed that the Times, professing, as it does, the most ardent attach ment to the Church of England, would have been the last journal in the kingdom to vilify its dignitaries, even when it did not approve of their political conduct ; because the dignity itself is thereby brought into contempt, and*the Church at the present moment has not much popular favour to spate. Such treatment of a Bishop as that which the so-called " Conservative" Times bestows upon Dr. STANLEY, had it come from a Liberal journal, would have been denounced from Printing-house Square as a nefarious attempt to sap the foundations of the Esta blishment, and to prepare the way for the adoption of the voluntary principle. But that which deprives the Times of all excuse in this case, while it sets in the strongest possible light the-savage and undistinguishing ferocity by which it is actuated in its attacks upon those who happen to differ from it for the time being, is the character of the Bishop of NORWICH. Had this amiable man and genuine Christian been a furious partizan—had he wriggled him self up to his present high station by a time-serving line of conduct—at one time blustering and threatening to stir up the elements of religious strife as a matter of life and death—at another accepting the wages of a quiescent and accommodating conscience—then indeed there might have been some allowance made for the language in which the disgust excited in every breast by such an object naturally expresses itself. But Dr. STANLEY has done none of these things. He has never bcen a violent politician—indeed he can hardly be said to be a politician at all. For upwards of twenty years he has been engaged in the active and conscien tious discharge of his duties as a parochial clergyman, inculcating upon his flock, both by precept and example, the practice of that enlarged and enlightened charity which views all men as brethren—the children of one father, and the heirs of one inheritance—without regard to the narrow distinctions of sect or creed. He has, moreover, borne his faculties so meekly, both before and since his elevation to his present dignity, that he is beloved and esteemed by all who know him, whatever be their sen timents in religion or politics. Such a man can suffer nothing from the opprobrious language of any Jour nalist, much less from that of one who has so long and so greatly a;►used his privilege, that no weight is at tached to his authority, and whose only distinction is that he is the most foul-mouthed of his party. The following commcntary upon Mr. O'CoNN EL CS letter to the Clergy of the Established Protestant Church in Ireland-L-which letter appeared in our columns of yesterday—is copied from an article which the Post of thii morning devotes to a refutation of the arguments, and a condemnation of the plan of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman for the settlement of the Irish Tithe question : " The scheme set forth in the letter of Mr. O'Connell involves a fraud upon the Church. This fraud wears, how ever, a disguise, although it bee thin one. There is another fraud included in the scheme, which disdains a mask. It is an open, avowed, unblushing transfer, by Act of Parliament, of a large amount of property from the general body of the community of the three kingdoms to the landowners of Ireland. Mr. O'Connell would have the Consolidated Fund charged with the pay ment to the Irish clergy of the sums, after deduction of 30 per cent., which they now receive as tithe, without calling upon the landlords of Ire land for any contribution whatever, and would thus put into the pockets of this favoured class, at the expense of the nation at large, property of immense value ; augmenting in effect the estates of each individual of the class in ratios varying from 10 to 23 per cent." We yesterday approved of Mr. O'CONNELL'S plan for paying the Irish Clergy out of the Treasury. The reduction of 30 per cent. of their nominal income we estimated as a fair charge for the cost of collection. But as we knew that the plan would be opposed—and even stated our conviction of the fact—we deemed it a waste of time to treat of that part of it which related to the supplying a fund from whence to draw the sums necessary for the support of the Church Establishment. As the Post, however, has entered more fully into the question, we deem it of importance to state, that the Reformers are as strongly opposed as the Tories can he to the trans fer of the Tithes from the pockets of the parsons to those of the landlords,—and we believe no such transfer will ever he made by a British House of Commons. The robbery, in the event of such a transfer, would not be a robbery of the Church, but of the nation—to which, in reality, all Church property belongs. Tithes are neither the property of priests or landlords—they belong to the nation ; and it is the busi ness of Parliament to prevent their appropriation by either the one party or the other. In recommending, therefore, the payment of the Irish clergy out of the Consolidated Fund, we would be under stood to advocate the payment into tuch Fund of the amount so advanced out of the Tithe Reve nues of the Irish branch of the Established Church. But the discussion of the details of the Tithe Ques tion is at present premature. The Irish clergy will neither be taught wisdom by friend or enemy. It will be time enough to point out the errors in Mr. O'CON NELL'S plan when Irish Churchmen manifest an in clination to prefer peace to rapine, anarchy, and bloodshed. The Paris Journals of Sunday have all been re ceived. The Moniteur contains lists of the promo tions in the army engaged in the taking of Constan tine. General VALLEE has been promoted to the dignity of a Marshal of France, and the Duke DE NEMOURS to the rank of Lieutenant-General. Major- Generals TREZEL and It ULIIIERES have also been raised to an equal militaryirank with his Royal High ness. The other names in these lists are not known in this country. All the elections have closed, with the exception of two, which are fixed for the Ist of December. The Siecle gives the following, as its analysis of the losses and gains of the several parties into which the French Chambers are divided : " The Radical opposition has lost 15 votes, and gained 16. " The Dynastic opposition has lost 20 votes, and gained 30. " The Legitimists have lost 12, and gained 14. " The Thiers party have lost 13, and gained 19. " The Ministerial centre have lost 53, and gained 60. " The Doctrinaire centre have lost 28, and gained 3." He was on the 30th at Onda. There was great misery in Valencia. " Baron de Meer was on the 4th at Barcelona, which is tranquil. " BAYONNE, Nov. 9.—The present Cortes were closed on the 4th. The new Cortes will assemble on the 19th. _ . " Oraa arrived at Teruel on the 4th, and Cabrera en tered Caspe on the sth." The ad-vices received from the north of Spain repre sent the affairs of Don CARLos in the most gloomy light. The Navarrese pursue the Carlist officers with clamours, demanding the restoration of the gallant bands that joined the Pretender at the commencement of the campaign. To quiet the populace reports are spread that all the missing are in Castile ; but the notorious falsehood of such assertions only increases the irrita tion of the Supreme Junta, which begins to manifest an unwillingness to sanction the promulgation of de , crecs obviously intended to dupe the people. The Navarrese have declared that they will not again cross the Ebro ; and that they consider themselves bound to support Don CARLOS as the protector of their fueros— not as King of the provinces south of that river. This declaration has filled the Pretender with rage and despair. The following extracts are from the Papers : " Advices from Bona;of the Ist inst., state that the two Princes (Nemours and Joinville) were expected there every day. General Trezel and Colonel Tournemeine had arrived with a convoy of wounded under a large escort. The road was perfectly free ; parties of 25 or 30 soldiers safely travel between Bona and Constantine. No new case of cholera had occurred for some days in the former city, but there ere still 900 sick in the hospitals." By the arrival of the Braganza steamer at Falmouth on Sunday evening, from the Tagus, we have received advices from Lisdon of the Bth, and Oporto of the 9th inst. The QUEEN had not succeeded in the re construction of a Cabinet. Viscount DAc ANTAS had been applied to by Baron BOAIFIM, but the con queror of the Chartists refused to exchange the actual command of the army for the War Department. Vis count SA DA BANDEIRA made an offer of the same department to CXSAR VA SCONCELLOS, but that gen tleman refused to have anything to do with it, unless funds were immediately placed at his disposal for pay ing off the arrears due to the army. As this could not be done, the negotiation ended. It was, however, expected that the Ministerial list, when completed, would run thus : _ _ Viscount Sa Da Bandcira—President of the Council and Foreign Affairs. Baron Bomfim, or Viscount Reguendo—War. Baron Bomfied—Navy. Gomez da Sa Sanchez—Grace and Justice. J. Oliveira—lnterior —J. A. de Campos—Finance. In the districts of Guardo and Castello Branco, the Miguelites have recently committed so many out rages, that the Cortes have been applied to for authorizing the proclamation of martial law in all the towns where the rebels are supposed to have partizans. At Cavilhao the insurgents attacked a division of cavalry, of whom they took 27 prisoners, together with 161 of the National Guard. The latter contrived to make their escape the next day. At Fundao the Miguelites were attacked in theit turn, and sustained a severe defeat. Twenty-seven of them were killed, and one hundred and fifty-three, who were made pri soners, were shot a few hours after the engagement. We have no account of the present state of public opinion in the capital. The KING and QUEEN ap pear reconciled with the course those events are tak ing, of which they so vainly and so dangerously struggled for the direction. Of commercial news all that is interesting in these advises will be found in the following correspondence from Lisbon, which ap pears in a second edition of a Morning Contempo rary : " A decree of the Cartes, imposing additional duties to those established in the respective custom-house tariffs, upon the following articles of foreign produce for one year, ‘•.hiell is to come into operation on the first of January next, has received the Royal Assent, viz. : « Rice, per arrobe (of 321 b . ) White sugar, ditto Brown ditto, ditto Dry Cod Fish, ditto • Cocoa, ditto Coffee, ditto Cocoa-nut oil, ditto Train oil, per almude (of 43 gallons old mea sure) Castor oil, per arrobe (of 321 b.) l4O Copaiva, ditto 4OO Linseed, ditto 2OO as also another establishing certain assessed taxes, in part revising those which were adopted in the year 1801 upon horses, servants (not husbandmen), and 4 per cent. upon the rent of all houses, to be paid by the tenant, which exceed 30,000 reis per annum in the cities of Lisbon and Oporto, 15,000 reis in villages which contain 400 houses and upwards, and 10,000 reis in all other parts of the kingdom. Dry cod fish having previously paid 800 reis, equal to 4s. sterling per quintal (of 1281 b.) ; the additional duty of 100 per cent. now imposed by the preceding de cree, making together rather more than one-half of the average of its selling price in this market, amount to a pro hibitory duty of this article from Newfoundland. A pro position has been laid on the table of the Cortes for a new stamp duty, which was carried, and which measure it is supposed will considerably increase the revenue, principally bearing upon commercial papers and documents, such as bills of exchange, charter party, bills of lading &c., even to the stamping of each sheet of counting house ledgers and journals. Her Majesty the Queen has been pleased, through the representation of Admiral Napier, to grant to the two sisters of Captain Goble, who was killed in the battle off Cape St. Vincent, on the sth of ,July, 1833, an annual pension of 451. sterling each, to commence from that date, and also one to the widow of Captain Frederick George Macdonough, who fell in the same action, the sum of 90/. per annum." BrUssels . and German Papers of the latest dates have been received. Their contents are of no political interest. The Belgian Chambers are engaged with the Tariff question ; and the German Courts with speculations on the military achievements of the French in Africa. rELGIAN 1 UNDS-15nussus, Nov. 11.

We have seen with satisfaction the 'Working Men's Association in this country, and we are satisfied that until the people bestir themselves, and convince the governors of the land that they know their rights, and are determined to have them, they will obtain little of reform or improvement. The grown up population become often averse to those exertions which are abso lutely necessary to shake off the burdens from their shoulders ; and it is gratifying to us when we see the young, active, and sanguine in their hopes, take a part in the politics of the State. Every meeting held by the people must be productive of good, as the igno rant are instructed by the wiser part of those present, and the real interests of the multitude are often by these means brought before the meeting, and good re solves made thereon. The state of the Canadas at this time, suffering under the delegated oppression of the Colonial-office in Downing-street, is a disgrace to a Reform Ministry, and a reproach to the people of Great Britain, who seem altogether indifferent to the maintenance of the constitutional rights of the people of those Provinces. The conduct of the late Parliament, in agreeing to the revolutionary resolutions of Lord J. RUSSELL against Lower Canada, has not been equalled of late years, except by the Coercion Bill of Earl GREY against Ire land. We are, therefore, pleased to see that the young and active—the thewes and sinews—of Upper Canada, sympathize with their oppressed brethren of Lower Canada, and boldly declare their own grievances. At a meeting of the " Young Men's Political Asso ciation in the County of Prescott, in Upper Canada," on the 16th of September last, the following resolu tions were unanimously agreed to. The language is sufficiently plain to mark their detestation of the tyran- From Spain the news received to-clay, is not of a later date than the accounts communicated yesterday. We copy, from the official columns of the Moniteur, a series of telegraphic despatches, of which the sub stance was given in yesterday's Sun : " BAYONNE, Nov. 7.—Espartero has appointed Alaix Viceroy of Navarre, and by his order Ulibarri has marched towards Larraga with his division. " Brigadier Leon has been appointed to the command of the Ribera garrison, which will consist of 800 cavalry, with artillery and infantry.

'HE SUN, LONDON, TUESL)AY, NOVEMBER 14, 1837. nical conduct of Earl GOSFORD in Lower Canada, and the no less oppressive sway of Sir FRANCIS HEAD in Upper Canada. But the Resolutions will speak for themselves : THE YOUNG MEN'S POLITICAL ASSOCIATION OF VAN- 'LEEK'S HILL, COUNTY OF PRESCOTT, UPPER CANADA, MET ON THE 16TH OF SEPTEMBER, 1837, WHEN THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTIONS WERE UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED : Resolved, I.—That next to our humble devotion to the great Author of our being, and the innate love we bear to our common country, is our respect and veneration for the Hon. L. J. Papineau, and the majority of the House of Assembly of Lower Canada, who, with a constancy and ability in any age or clime never surpassed, amidst perils the most appalling, and persecutions the most cruel and revolting, with Roman firmness sustained, inviolate, the sacred cause of their oppressed and insulted country, against the hostile and adverse power that threatened the annihila tion of the liberties of the people ; and that their late ad dress on the state of the Province is a production masterly in its style and composition, and replete with those manly sentiments which none breathe save those embued with an ardent love of country, conscious in the rectitude of their intentions, and strong in the justice of the cause they so patriotically defend. 2. That the great majority of the people of Lower Ca nada, who thus far have supported their representatives both in and out of the House, and at their elections, beheld their innocent fellow-citizens wantonly massacred by an armed force, urged on by corrupt, implacable, and unre lenting officials, responsible to no power save that of a corrupt and usurping Government, withstood the shock with a courage and fortitude worthy of men struggling to be free ; they are justly entitled to the sympathy of sur rounding nations, and of the sister colonies in particular ; and our admiration and praise, humble as it may be, is kindly and gratefully tendered to them, in the anxious hope that they will continue firm and immoveable until they at tain their end and aim, the security of their rights and liberties, established on the broad and solid basis of elective institutions. 3. That it is with the liveliest satisfaction we have be. held that the principles of government, and the series of resolutions adopted by this association on the 29th of July last, have received the countenance of the liberal presses, and the approbation of many distinguished individuals in the country ; and we are particularly gratified to learn that the young gentlemen of Montreal hastened with becoming zeal to form themselves into a similar association, and have, with a spirit of liberality which characterizes youth as well as age, paid us a compliment we had not flattered ourselves that our humble production would merit, and we assure the young men of Lower, as well as Upper Canada, that to whatever extent our talents and abilities may be surpassed, we, nevertheless, feel confident that our sincerity and zeal (based as they are on the love we bear to the land of our birth) will remain unrivalled, and we conscientiously believe that in the hour of trouble (which may the wisdom of man avert) it will be to the youth, as well as the sage, that the acts which define a tyrant will hereafter cease to contaminate our soil. _ _ 4. That Lord Gosford, in issuing his celebrated procla mations, with a view to prevent the people of Lower Ca nada from assembling in a peaceable manner to discuss the public affairs of the province, made a wanton and foul attempt to abridge their constitutional rights, and we must say, that the proclamations justly merited the contempt they received, nor can we refrain from denouncing his Lordship's conduct in questioning the Officers of Militia, Magistrates, and Commissioners on account of their poli tical opinions, and then unceremoniously dismissing them from office ; and that the proclamation-law, coupled with the late dismissals, arc acts so.odious and despotic, that they may be justly considered as worthy of the heart that con trived and the hand that executed them. 5. That we arc at a loss for language sufficiently strong whereby to express the satisfaction-we feel, that all, indis criminately, from the Colonel to the Subaltern, and from the Magistrate to the Commissioner, repelled the insult offered them by the head of the Executive, by plainly tell ing him that " when vice . prevails and imperious men bear away, the post of honour :s a private station," and that they valued more their rights as citizens than commissions and slavery. 6. That although we have formerly expressed our utter detestation and abhorrence of the me asures of the British Ministers and Parliament towards Lower Canada, we feel ourselves again called upon to expreas our deep-rooted in dignation, as well as the just cause we have to feel alarmed at the declaration of Ministers, and the vote of Parliament, to pay the modest sum of upwards of 142,000/., firstly, out of the English 'Crean:, y, to distribute in Lower Canada among the howling officials in discharge of arrearages of salaries, (long and constitutionally withheld by the repre sentatives of the people), thereby pledging the Ministers, the Parliament, and the people of England to become in terested in our oppression, an act of tyranny so daring, that no colonist, unless he be an enemy to his country, would quietly submit to it. 7. That we highly applaud, and unequivocally approve of the resolutions and declaration of the Reformers of To ronto of the 31st of July last, to their brother Reformers throughout the Province, and we do, therefore, in the fullest sense, adopt the same ; and we cannot too highly praise the spirited and able manner in which the Reformers of the Home District have followed up the resolutions, and adopted the declaration of their brethren of Toronto, an eaample that the inhabitants of every section of this Province are, in duty bound, as they value their rights and future happi ness, to imitate ; and we humbly conceive that it would cast this liberal and patriotic county in the shade, should the inhabitants thereof neglect to follow so glorious an ex ample. We are therefore of opinion, that the friends of good, cheap, and responsible government, just legislation, and civil and religious liberty, should, in due time, assemble together at some convenient place in the county, for the same purpose as the Reformers of the Home District have already done. • 8. That it is with grief and concern we have seen the accounts of the gross violence and wanton cruelty practised by bands of armed ruffians (led on by a herd of mercenary and merciless officials in the interest of the Executive) to wards the peaceable Reformers assembled at Albion, Churchville, and other places in the Home District, for the laudable purpose of discussing, in a constitutional manner, the affairs of this impoverished and degraded colony ; and we applaud the determination of the Reformers to prepare themselves at all future meetings with the means of self-defence. 9. That the sympathy of the working men's association of London, as formerly manifested by their spirited resolu tions against the atrocious measures of Lord John Russell and Co. towards Lower Canada, and in their late manly address to the people of Canada, places us, and all the people of these colonies, under the most solemn obligation to the working men of England ; and we cheerfully respond thereto—and in sympathising with them, we sincerely regret that many of the working men in the United Kingdom are so grievously oppressed by the same aristocracy that are preparing chains for us, that they dare not speak their honest sentiments in behalf of their oppressed fellow sub jects in this remote part of the empire. 10. That the conduct of Sir F. B. Head, since his ar rival among us, in administering the government of this province has been of the most deceptive, unjust, and arbi trary character, and that his conduct in regard to the Bill granting the sum of 50,0001. for the improvement of the Roads and Bridges in the several Districts, has been, from first to last (since it came under his nod), most . . . . in as much as, at the eleventh hour of the second year he turns the people off, bankrupt fashion, with the miserable pittance of five shillings in the pound, of their own money too ; all which coupled with his other prevaricating acts, has rendered his administration the most withering and con temptible of any that have heretofore been inflicted on this unfortunate, degraded and oppressed province. And this same Sir P. B. Head (if he had a head) would now see that his parish of Upper Canada is not a sleeping volcano (Dead Beaten)," and that the domain is as extensively mortgaged, and its income as seriously incumbered as is that of many an English Commoner," and that his admi nistration is any thin. , but palatable to the paupers that in habit it ; and he would also perceive that his departure from the parish would relieve the hearts and dry up the tears of the paupers who would then rejoice as did their brethren of Kent on his exit from thence. 11.

The young person who was so dreadfully burnt at Lakenham last week, and the two men who suffered in their humane and successful efforts to extinguish the flames are all, we are happy to say, in a state of recovery.—Norfolk Chronicle. Last night a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Finsbury was held at the Crown public house, Clerkenwell-green, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament for an act instituting a local Court of Requests for the recovery of debts not exceeding 10/. LEAD.—A correspondent who has visited the diffe rent mining districts in Derbyshire, last week, reports that the trade in lead is as prosperous as it has been known to be for a number of years. The demand was steady and he price remunerating, being about 19/. per fotber, LIVERPO The decision of the Lord Chancellor on the question of the endowment of the Churches by the old Corporation of Liverpool arrived here yesterday morning, and afforded the most unmixed satisfaction to the Reformers of this com munity. A more impudent and barefaced job than that which the judgment of the Lord Chancellor has declared to be il legal—whether considered with reference to the circumstances under which it was perpetrated, or the object which was aimed at by,the parties who were accessory to it—has sel dom seen the light. The facts are briefly these :—ln No vember, 1835, when the old !..self-elected Corporation of Liverpool was on the eve of becoming defunct, by the operation of the Municipal Reform Bill, the Members of that Body, who had previously in volved the town in a debt exceeding 800,0001., deter mined to .give a finishing stroke to their policy by still further increasing that debt to the extent of 105,0001. To this end they pawned a most valuable portion of the borough property, in order to raise the wind, for the purpose, as they alleged, of endowing the Churches, and thereby advancing the cause of religion. But their pious motives cannot be sufficiently appreciated with out its being told that the old Corporation were all Tories, High Church and King men, nearly all related to each other by blood or marriage, and that the Churches at tached to their trust were all filled with their own sons, nephews, and other immediate relatives. When this impudent project was first mentioned, there was a general burst of indignation throughout the town, not un mingled with disgust at the nefarious proceeding. In de fiance, however, of the protest of many respectable parties, and the open reprobation of every disinterested individual, the job was consummated by the old Tory Corpora tion in about three weeks from the day when they were finally drummed out of the Liverpool Town Hall to a certain unpleasant tune—never to return to it. The case has occupied the attention of the lawyers ever since, and it is gratifying to find that the highest law authority in Great Britain has seen the case in the same light as every impartial person conversant with the facts viewed it, and has called upon the offenders to disgorge. It would be impossible to convey an idea of the feeling of gratification which the Lord Chancellor's decision had produced. The Tories talk of carrying an appeal to the House of Lords ; but as the out lay, together with the previous costs, must come out of their own pockets, people are disposed to regard this threat as mere moonshine. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CK. We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the 3d inst., but their contents have been anticipated. From Cape of Good Hope papers to the 24th November, we extract the following : " The news from the frontier this week are, that with trifling exceptions, and those only rumours, all is well on both sides the border. Copious and seasonable rains had fallen in Albany, and in Caffreland the crops were looking well. " On Tuesday evening the Royal William, attempting to enter Table Bay after it was dark, ran on the rocks at Green Point. The passengers were taken off in boats, and part of the cargo will be saved ; but the ship is irrecoverably injured. When the ship William Nicol, with emigrants for New South Wales, arrived in Table Bay, it was discovered that a very serious amount of distress existed on board, arising from causes which we have not been able as yet to ascertain. The vessel was crowded with passengers far beyond the legal number, and an unusual number of deaths had occurred amongst the children, whilst on the countenances of many that remained death seemed to have his seal." We have seen letters from Lisbon of the Bth inst. At that date all was tranquil in the capital, but the Ministry had not as yet been formed. It appears that M. John Oliveira was to maintain his place. THE FUNDS. Consels closed rather heavy yesterday at 93i, sellers for Money ; for the Account, buyers at the above price.

Gentleman proceeds to Stockport, with the Reformers of which town he clines this evening. Dur ring his stay in Liverpool, Mr. O'Connell received visits from all the distinguished Liberals in this town and neighbouthood. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET.—YESTERDAY. —There has been a good demand for Cotton to-day from the trade, and the sales are 5,000 bags, with rather a dearer market than on Friday last, except for Egyptians. The business consists of 600 Egyptians, 80., 9d., and up to 10-0. 500 Surats, 31(1. a 51d. 700 Maranhams, 9d. 300 Pernams, 9d. a 10d , and the rest American, from 6d. to 7d. per lb. ; 400 to 500 bags are on speculation. On Saturday morning, between seven and eight o'clock; a Polish officer of the name of Nicholas Gorbos wiski, residing in Lisle-street, Leicester-square, was disco vered lying in one of the plantations on the north side of the Regent's-park, in great agony, having swallowed a large portion of laudanum. It appears that he had been out at a gaming -house, and had lost all his money. He was con veyed to the hospital, where, by the aid of the stomach pump, the deadly poison was ejected from his stomach, and hopes are given of his recovery. An inquest was yesterday holden at the committee room of the Whitechapel workhouse, before Mr. Baker, the coroner, on the body of James Hanson, a fine young man, 28 years of age, who had been for many years a coach and omnibus driver on the Blackwall road. It appeared that on Saturday, at about eleven o'clock, the deceased, while walking along High-street, Whitechapel, apparently in the enjoyment of the most robust health, fell to the pavement, and was instantly a corpse. A verdict of " Natural death" was returned. An agricultural correspondent of the Dublin Free man's Journal represents the late harvest in Ireland to have proved very deficient. In the county of Louth the defi ciency is said to be four barrels of wheat per acre. It is calculated that the whole produce of Ireland will not be more than sufficient for the consumption of that country. The petitions for the Ballot have met with a hearty reception in Lincoln. Nearly a thousand signatures are already appended to them.—Lincoln Mercury. We regret exceedingly the good sense of our fellow townsmen, and the admonition of the authorities had not the effect of preventing the mischievous exhibition which took place on Monday night last. The town for several hours presented such a scene of riot and confusion as was very disgraceful.—Monmouth Merlin. On Thursday evening, about a quarter past seven, the nursery maid of Mr. Ferer, of Ferer and Co., woollen manufacturers of Ludgate-hill, met with a serious accident in St. Paul's Church-yard. She had only left her master's house an hour before, unknown to the family, in order to view the illuminations, leaving her master's child in the arms of a lady who was on a visit to the family. As she was on her return through St. Paul's churchyard, the first trumpet was sounding, announcing the order for the Life Guards to clear the way preparatory to her Majesty's return ; in obedience to the order the cavalry made a sudden movement, and, by some un accountable accident, the girl was knocked down and trampled on by one of the horses of the troop. A gentle man, an acquaintance of her master's, picked her up, and upon discovering that her leg was broken, caused her to be carried by two of the City Police to her master's residence at the foot of Ludgate-hill, the cavalry clearing the way, and evincing every sympathy for the unfortunate girl. STATE OF TRADE.—There was a rather brisker demand for strong goods on Thursday than has been for some time, Several of the extensive bleachers in this neighbourhood have had larger orders during the week than they could fulfil. We have heard of one very large con cern near Bolton which had nine carts and four waggons employed in bringing goods from Blackburn, on Monday. We are very glad to learn, that several branches of the muslin trade show symptoms of revival.& There has not been much done in counterpanes since last week.—Bolton Free Press. As a gratifying proof of the steadiness of the trade of Greenock, we may mention that although the gross falling off of the Customs Revenue of Greet Britain during the past ye ar was 1,793,937 /., and for the last Quarter 917,6611., the total deficiency of the Customs of this port during the three quarters which have elapsed of the present year is only 6271.----the revenue being to the 10th October, 1836, 304,3771., and to the same date i n 1837, 303,7.501. As the deficiency on the general cus toms of the country was nearly one-eleventh, had the Greenock deficiency kept pace with that of the rest of the kingdom, it would consequently have amounted to from 25,000/. to 30,0001. We are happy to add that the falling off in Glasgow is also very trifling.—Greenock Advertiser. ENTERTAINMENT COMIVIITTEIL (From the Morning Advertiser.) • f orth We have hitherto refrained frorn'touchiag a t any 'e upon the extraordinary conduct of the Entertainment mittee, for the recent feast to her Majesty, at GuildhallOtno. limiting the invitation cards to the metropolitan pro s e three morning journals ; and we did so advisedly, c u ll '3 S we were anxious to ascertain whether what mighte termed the partial feeling which we might be s uppos d_ t o entertain upon the subject was supported by gentlemen le capable of bias than ourselves, but at the same time equally alive to what was due. "to the journals eluded from the feast. We have new/Icached the end of our inquiries, and it affords us satisfaction to be of c able to state, that the conduct o f the Entertainment- Committee has excited an universa l ex p ression the ot: tempt—not on the part of Liberals only, but onuncil part of Tories—not on the part of the Common Co men only, but on that of a!inost all of the Alderm en also-- and finally, of all the readers of thi s j ournal and first of the .31 - oozing Post.

" No, your Majes thotYu is our reply, th e men who spent thousands up on sands, however usefully we will not say, could not save two places for two gentlemen to report to your loyal and affe c ." tionate subjects the hearty welcome which they were do rous of giving you." But the insult to the public thus indirectly conveyed to the people, out of whose pockets the price of the enter tainment is to be paid, did not rest here. The Guildhall was to be thrown open for public inspection, and it wa,. naturally expected that those who had been disappointed 01 the dinner would not be disappointed of seeing the decora tions and trappings of the feast—but mark the result--tbl days of inspection were not only limited, but the cards admission also, as will be seen from the following circular TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING ADVERTISER. c Sir,—Being one of the inhabitants of the Ward Cripplegate Within, I beg to refer you to the apologY the other side, and hope you will spare a small sp ace yo valuable journal to the exposure of such mean power. 1" "TO THE WORTHY INHABITANTS OF CRIPPLEGA TE WITHIN.

Sir Robert Peel and family left Paris on Friday last ' for London. Lord Lyndhurst's departure was fixed f or Thursday next. A few days ago, Mr. Inett, of Barmby Mo or, sen t the following extraordinary present to his sister , at Melton Mowbray :—A turnip grown upon his own f:trtn (hollowed, out), containing half a dozen pigeons, two braces of p art ' ridges, and a hare.—Doncaster Gazctle.

This lady died suddenly last wee' The notoriety of this unfortunate individual emanated from a cause which has excited the sympathy and compassion °I the feeling-hearted part of the community. At a n earlY period of life a beloved brother, who held a highly respell' sible situation in the Bank of England, transgressed the lilw fr of his country by committing forgery : and, notwithstanding the most strenuous exertions in his behalf, by personees in high power at that time, the unhappy man suffered the e s ' trenie penalty of the law at Newgate. His connexions , v vil( ' moved in the first class of society, were plunged into tb i e most poignant affliction, as may be easily imagined, a n after the lamentable event, left the Metropolis, w ith t he exception of the sister whose sudden dissolution has .iul t occurred. Since the fatal day of her unfortunate brother?. ignominious exit from the world, she had been in the ha bit • of visiting the Bank almost daily, and loitering about the immediate neighbourhood. Her melancholy story be il4 well known, she attracted the attention of many of the (ner" chants and bankers on 'Change, and, as her means w ere re duced to comparative poverty after her brother's death, th c f.. kindly administered to her necessities. She be came marked person about town, owing to the singularity of b e d appearance since the event which broke her peace of ni,n. in d and happiness for ever. She was accustomed to b e habde in very deep old fashioned mourning. She was never in --a instance known to deviate from tis style of dress; and her heart was so completely stricken that, when young interesting, she rejected all advances to change h er on Sa t tion in life. Her habits were remarkably secluded, o nd s seldom or never entered into social society or conversatioins At the time of her death she lodged in Mason-str eet , °,„ Kent-road, and it was known that, whilst there, sho quently performed the melancholy office of visiting her grog, ther's grave in Greenwich church-yard.
