'!lt-rY LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 11, 1837. In our columns of this day will be found copies of /z . ERNEST AUGUSTUS' letters-patent, abolishing th e Constitution of Hanover. The Royal Despot has "'us passed the Rubicon ; and it now remains to be teen whether the Hanoverians deserve to enjoy the blessings of civil liberty. If they crouc h under the %Omit of this tyrannical blow, they ought to be i f n . allacl ed , and condemned to work in t he mines for e ' None but the veriest slaves would submit t o such a l- A 'aring violation of their most sacred rights. ERNEST 14 a desp ot w h o ne i t h er fears GOD nor regards man. N ot has he hazarded the formal abrogat i o n of the Co nstitution but he has impiously and sacrilegiously Jared to absolve the people of Hanover from their °4 ths to m a i n t a i n it I Whence does he pretend to derive such a power ? He protests that he never 2.seegnized the Constitution, and the oath to main tai° it was neither imposed by him, nor taken sub ject to Lily condition which would m ake his will the Standard of its validity. He ca nnot, there fre, witho u t the most monstrous impie t y , attem p t meddle with it, or in any way repuliate its faithful obs ervance. B es id es , t h e doctrine that a SOVEREIGN i t w.

Irishman, and a crime to be baptised a Catholic." In another part of the Hon. Gentleman's eloquent de nunciation of this odious peculating party, a warning voice is sent forth to them, which, if they be not more deaf than the adder, or blinder than the mole, they will no longer neglect. " Let the Tories," he . impressively enunciates, " beware how they resort again to their dangerous courses and their rash leaders. Let them reflect that the National Association of Ireland comprises 25,000 members and associates—that we are united by a sense of injury and insult. Backed by the mass of the Irish people, and bound by a national oath of honour never to desist till we place the humblest of our Irishmen on a level in point (2f law with the proudest of the English, this Association, perhaps, may dissolve, re!) ing o n t h e virtues of our gracious Queen, and the good intentions of a Liberal Ministry : if we succeed, why then we shall smile if we fail, meet we must, and mget we shall, to show to time world that Ireland may be in jured, may be insulted, but cannot be terrified into submission ; that Ireland may be disqualified, but can not be degraded ; and that if she has hitherto had pa tience and philosophy enough to endure her wrongs, she still possesses spirit and courage enough to a ven g e them. The Paris Journals of Thursday have all been re ceived. They add but little to the intelligence com municated yesterday, and even that little is of no ge neral interest. The elections appear to have satisfied every body—a rare occurrence in times of general ex citement. The Doctrinaires, however, have lost ground ; and the number returned of the late Deputies who supported the September laws is very inconsider able. From Constantine numerous details of the con dition of the French army, before and after the capture of that city, have reached the Government, from which we can only gather that France will find it both a troublesome and an expensive undertaking to retain her African conquests. Provisions were scarce—the sick numerous. Singular, too, as it may appear, after their former disaster, the French army on storm ing the capital of the BET, had not stores for twenty-four hours remaining ; so that had the city only held out for a few hours longer, the French troops under DAMREMONT would have been.exposed to the same misery and disgrace which had previously befallen CLAUSECS expedition. The advices from Madrid are to the Ist inst. On the 30th, the Cortes voted sixty millions of reals out of the Colonial taxas, forty millions out of the sale of con- . vent property, and twelve millions out of the sale of the church bells, to the Finance Minister to enable the Government to carry on the war. It was currently reported that the . Cortes would be dissolved by the QUEEN REGENT in person on the 6th of November. Annexed are extracts from the French papers : We have noticed the decrease in the receipts of the Cus toms (luring the first nine months of the year 18:37. The Mini3try now informs us, that the month of October shows a more favourable result. The Charte says—" There is a considerable augmenta tion on the corresponding months of 1836. We already know that this augmentation, in the article of Customs alone, is at Marseilles 507,000 francs, at Havre 496,000, at Nantes 188,000, at Dunkirk 142,000, and at Bor deaux 124,000."—Le Tenzps, N0v..9. Pam, Nov. 9, Two o'Clock.—There are only 56 no minations, which are not yet known. The result of the elections, as known this morning, may be expressed by the following figures :-403 nominations, among which are 300 of the late deputies, and 108 new members, of whom sixteen have been deputies in preceding Chambers. Tho Doctrinaires and the Legitimatists have experienced considerable losses.—Le Commerce. A letter from Constantine of the 26th October, in the Messager, says—" The day before yesterday, two Ministers of the defeated Bcy came from him to make proposals, which were rejected. This petty sovereign has become very humble since his reverses, but it is decided to have nothing more to do with him. I told you, in my letter yesterday, of the nomination of a Cadi, a fine looking young man about twenty-five years of age, who appears to have some influence in the country. This young man, if France ap proves, will be the successor of Achmet. his installation as Cadi seems to delay our departure, which was fixed for the 28th. He asks us for a garrison for some time, to con solidate his authority. He guarantees us a daily corre spondence with Bona. It is said that he has set a price on the bead of Achmet, with the consent of our authorities, which is not probable."—.Tournal des Debals. FRENCH FUNDS. - PARIs, Nov. 9. Five per Cents., 1091'.

The Lord Chancellor this morning delivered an able and important judgment in the matter of the Liverpool Church Endowment case, in which the old Corpora tion, in anticipation of Municipal Reform, had ille gally appropriated 105,0001. to an increase of the sti pends of the local clergy of the Establishment. His Lordship, on an appeal on demurrer f►om the Rolls Court, overruled the judgment of the Master of the Rolls, and declared the illegality of this long-contested appropriation of the Municipal funds. HER MAJESTY.—An account has been sent to us with the formidable heading of " Attack on her Mai!sty's Life prevented." The account, which will probably occupy a leading position in the columns of sonic of our Contem poraries this day, was in most of its details known to us some days ago, but we omitted to mention it, lent it should create uneasiness in the minds of the illustrious ladies whose names were mentioned. The facts are simply these :—A German named Stuban, who had carried on business as a baker in Chelsea, but who had become unsettled in his mind from losses in business, took it into his head, six or seven years ago, that the Duchess of Kent was his enemy, and he was heard to threaten that he would take her life. For these threats he was taken before Sir F. Roe at Bow street, and held to bail in the sum of .5004 to keep the peace. Since the intention of her Majesty to visit the City was announced, he was heard to renew his threats, adding that he would also take the life of the Queen. For this threat he was again (on the 30th ult.) taken into custody, and after an examination of medical men, which left no .loubt of his insanity, he was sent to the Union workhouse at Kensington ; but that not being considered a sufficiently secure place, he was, by the very prudent suggestion of the Magistrates at Bow-street, sent, on Tuesday last, under care of an officer and a keeper, to a lunatic asylum in Itixton, where he is ❑ow detained. On Saturday, at the Sessions holding at Kirkdale, during the trial of a brutal-looking fellow, for assaulting a female and robbing her of a bundle, his counsel, Mr. Wil kins, after concluding an eloquent and successful appeal to the jury on his behalf, proceeded to call witnesses as to his character. The first witness he called, after stating that he had known the prisoner for a number of years, as a proof of the value of his evidence and the man's honesty, said, " I believe him to be a very honest man, for he has many a time had opportunities of robbing me when I was drunk, and didn't." The Learned Counsel, amidst much laughter, declined calling any more witnesses as to character. The jury could do no other than acquit the prisoner after this, and did so accordingly.—Liverpool Standard. OLYMPIC TIIEATRE.—We regret to state that Mr. Mathews was last night again taken ill while per forming at this theatre. Just at the conclus'on of the Country Squire, in the scene of the village fete, he suddenly left his scat, and it was observed, from the anxiety of the ' other performers and a little bustle behind the scenes, that there was something wrong. He came forward Oth Madame Vestris almost immediately ; but after paang across the stage, appeared to be seized with sudden faintness, and would have fallen if he had not been supported. Mr. Farren solicited the indulgence of the audience, and Mr. Vining begged, that as the piece was so near its termination the audience would allow the curtain to drop. The sym pathy of the audience was evinced by the warm approba tion with which they answered that appeal, and consented to the fall of the curtain. -- A contract has just been concluded for building a gallery on the London Ju nc ti on ra il way, intended to pass under over the gallery when built. t h o ragjolgton canal, w hi c h i s to b e di verte d an d PaPtmet 418 P eludes the building of a suspension bridge over the canal for joot pusenirrs , carried was, never dared to absolve his subjects from oaths taken before his accession to the Throne of his ancestors. As we have much to say upon this subject we shall frequently return to it. Meanwhile we shall look to the proceedings of the Frankfort Diet and of the people of Hanover with lively interest. We do not, how ever, attach any domestic British importance to the settlement of this question ; inasmuch as we are mo rally certain that under no possible circumstances would the people of England suffer the Imperial diadem to be polluted by the touch of ERNEST of CUMBERLAND. But the Legislature cannot, with out a gross dereliction of duty, and without compro mising the national honour, leave to chance or the chapter of accidents the settlement of this affair. In England we acknowledge no hereditary Royal right in tyrants ; and if the New Parliament possess • only a single spark of patriotism one of its first Acts will be to set aside the claim of ERNEST Of CUMBERLAND, and his descendants, to the Throne of Great Britain and Ireland. There will be found in another part of our Para a communication from a Correspondent in Dublin, to which we have devoted a larger space than we can generally afford for the discussion of legal questions. There is, however, a great public principle involved in the case stated by our Correspondent, and under such circumstances, we feel it our duty to submit it to the public judgment at any inconvenience to ourselves. Into the legal argument advanced in the paper to which we refer, we are not competent to enter. There are so many quibbles in law, that none but " profes sional" men, and very few of them, can say what is and what is not law. The intention of the Legislature in passing the Church Temporalities Act, undoubtedly was to re lieve the Catholics from the payment of Church ccss, a burden which pressed heavy upon them in a reli gious point of view. It is, therefore, a violation of the spirit of this Act if a single Catholic is now com pelled to contribute to this ecclesiastical tax, even were any parish specially excepted from its operation ; but if no such exception has been made in the case of St. George's, Dublin, the letter as well as the spirit of the Statute would seem to have been infringed, by the decision of which our Correspondent complains. If, however, this decision should be found to be borne out by the judgment of a superior Court, or by the concur rent opinion of eminent lawyers, the only resource will be an application to Parliament for a Local Act, to o that for the parish of St. George, which has been done for the rest of Ireland. Our Correspondent, n e think, is mistake❑ in quot ing the case of SCALES V. PICKERING. In that case the 'point on which the East London Water works were defeated was, that the pathway in which they had laid down their pipes was not a public one, as the Act required it to be. They had laid down other pipes in pathways of the same de scription, and after the decision in SCALES'S case, they got a Supplementary Act to legalise what they had done. Among the many inquiries of great practical im portance which were suspended by the abrupt termi nation of the late Parliament, were those of the Com mittee which was sitting upon the state of the Metro politan Police. The minutes of evidence taken by that Committee have been lately published ; and al though the Report is, it seems, deferred till next Ses sion, there is enough disclosed in the evidence already taken, to show the necessity of considerable alterations in the existing Police system. That the Metropolitan Police has been a great improvement upon the old local constables and watchmen is indisputable ; and the excellent arrangements made on all public occa sions, (as for instance in the conduct of the late Royal Procession), by the Central Commissioners, is generally acknowledged. But it has been a great mistake to allow a separate Police Establishment to the City of London, which impedes the efficiency of the Metropolitan Force, and facilitates crime in various ways. This great metropolis ought to form one united Police District, under the charge of one directing authority. Nor is this the only defect of the existing system. The police-offices, lock-up houses, and vans, in which prisoners are removed to and from the gaols, are not only inconvenient, but the want of separation, and indiscriminate mixture of all sorts of persons, male and female, appear to be quite indecent, and must be truly painful to any respectable person whom accident may thrust into such society. We refer, on this, point, to the evidence of one of the Prison Inspectors, given in another column. Then, as to the system of bail—the system must surely require revision which consigns to gaol, for want of sureties, a class of persons quite unable to find them, and that, without any corrective discipline, and for very long periods. We should hardly have believed, if it did u - not appear as an official statement of an Inspector (Mr. Ward), that a man could be kept in gaol 22 years, for want of ball to keep the peace towards his own father. But we have not space to notice half the defects of the existing laws, to which the attention of the Committee was directed. The jurisdiction of the Police Magistrates is very incomplete, and it is extra ordinary that, with all the activity of the New Police, the flash-houses to which thieves resort, the low hells, and other haunts of more than doubtful propriety, con tinue to exist in London, as under the old regime. There is plenty of work for the Committee in the ap proaching Session, and we trust that Mr. HA wEs, the Member for Lambeth, who has exerted himself already with considerable effect, will not let the subject sleep. We present our readers to-day with a long and elo quent letter, possessing peculiar and considerable claims to notice, upon the subject of Ireland's wrongs. It is addressed to Lord CLONCURRY, and is from the pen Of HENRY GRATTAN, Esq., one of the Members for the County of Meath—a county which " ranks amongst the first in its successful opposition to a Tory aristocracy"---having obtained a majority of seven hundred electors for the two Liberal Members, Mr. O'CONNELL and Mr. GRATTAN. The latter Hon. Member conveys to Lord CLoNCURRY his cordial concurrence with his Lordship, in the propriety of holding the proposed meeting of the Irish represen tatives, preparatory to the meeting of Parliament, adding, that he should certainly attend, if illness in his family did not call for his presence elsewhere. He truly tells his Lordship that the condition of his country is daily becoming better known to Continental nations ; that her interests are becoming more and more evident ; and that the death-day of misrule in Ireland is at hand. " A silent but certain revolution," declares Mr. GRATTAN, " Will be effected ; and then every man, whether Whig or Tory, will condemn the system by which Ireland has been governed." Of the truth of his assertion no doubt can be enter tained in the mind of any rational man. The state of the Sister Isle needs only to be known in order to be ameliorated, for good government Is the necessary result of progressing knowledge. We regret that the pressure upon our space as well as time, to-day, precludes the practicability of doing little more than simply directing attention to the admirable letter of the Hon. and enlightened Member for Meath. We quit the subject with xeluc tance, but beg to assure our rcadeie that .Mr. GR AT TAN'S patriotic letter will amply repay th e most at- tentive perusal, His portraiture of the Tories is to less faithful than vivid—forcibly and truly does he say of his party, " they made it a curse to be born au CHANCERY•COURT,-(THIS DAY) ATTORNEY - GENERAL V. ASPINAL. The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which came before the Court upon appeal from the de cision of the Master of the Rolls, allowing a demurrer put in by the defendant to the information. The information was filed by several of the inhabitants of Liverpool, for the pur pose of having it declared that a suns of .£105,1200 which had been appropriated by the Corporation of Liverpool for the im provement of the livings of the clergy of that town had been improperly applied, according to the provisions of the Mu nicipal Reform Act. Upon the information being filed the defendant put in a demurrer on the ground that the Court had no jurisdiction to interfere with the appropriation of that part of the Corporation property, inasmuch as the money so appropriated was not affected by any charitable trust. The Master of the Rolls, upon the case coming before him, allowed the demurrer, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. His Lordship, after going at considerable length into the facts of the case, stated, that t Act- great deliberation, and fully considering the whole circumstances of the case, he felt bound to differ from the decision of the Court below, lie should therefore over rule the demurrer, with costs. WEDDERBURNE V. i'VEDDERBURNE. The Court then proceeded trith this part-heard appeal, the arguments in which appear likely to occupy several days. ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY). Nothing of any interest occurred here this morning. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The VICE-CHANCELLOR took cause petitions to-day, but in consequence of Mr. Knight 13rucc being engaged in the Lord Chancellor's Court, his Honour was enabled to proceed with but very few cases, and rose shortly after eleven o'clock. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) TAYLOR V. PARSONS. This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 1001. which was tried before Mr. Baron Bolland on Wednesday last, when a verdict was found for the plaintiff. Mr. KELLY now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had on the ground of perjury on the part of the witnesses for the plaintiff, and surprise on the part of the attorney for the defendant. The learned gentle.man said inquiries had been made into the character of the witnesses for the plaintiff, and he believed that, upon another trial, the defendant would be able to prove them to be unworthy of belief, and that his defence of forgery was good. After some lengthened arguments, which we refrain from laying before the public, as they deeply involved the charac ters of several persons, and were fxparte, Mr. Baron PARKE said, as the defendant was alleged to be a resronsible man, he supposed there would be no objection to pay the money into Court. Mr. KELLY—Not the slightest, my Lord. The COURT—Then take a rule, the money to be paid into Court before it is drawn up. Their Lordships had gone through the Bar by one o'clock, and, no more business offering, the Court rose. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) DOOTII AND WARD V. IeKENZIE. In this case the plaintiffs are the proprietors of a patent for an improved cabriolet ; and the, present action, which ban not come to trial, is brought for an'alleged infringement of the patent right. Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK this day moved for a rule to shcw cause why the order of- the Judge in Chambers, requiring the defendant to add certain particulars in his objections against the plaintiff's patent, should not be discharged. He stated that previous to the passing of the new Act respecting patents, —that is, the sth and 6th of William IV.—in all cases of ac- tion, even respecting patents, the plaintiff and defendant both came into Court without any knowledge of each others' case; but now, in cases of patent, by the fifth section of the Act of Parliament before-mentioned, the defendant is obliged to state his objections to the plaintiff's patent in his plea ; and, if he do not give notice of his objections, tile Judge at Nisi Prius, will refuse to admit his evidence. It must, therefore, be the business of the defendant himself to see that his notice is good and perfect. A bad notice, or an imperfect notice, would in effect be of no more avail than no notice at all. The defendant might, if he thought proper, give in a new notice, or supply the deficiency of his first no tice, to give himself the advantage of new or more complete evidence at trial. But the plaintiff could not compel to give notice, or to set forth such and such particulars in his objec tions. The CHIEF JUSTICE —The defendant can apply to the Judge in chambers to call on the plaintiff to give explanations as to his patent. May not a case arise %%herein the plaintiff would be entitled to require explanations of an objection which was framed in an unintelligible manner, and for the purpose of deceiving ? If a notice was calculated to throw dust in their eyes, could not the Judge in chambers order it to be amend,d? Mr. Justice COLTNIAN —Perhaps Sir Frederick Pollock Dill state some of the facts of the present case, by way of illustration, Sir FREDERICK PoLLocK—This is a case of alleged infringe ment of the plaintiff's patent, for an improvement in cabriolets. The CHIEF JUSTICE—That is, a case to throw dust in the eyes....._( A laugh.) Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK—The order requires us to supply certain particulars in our oljections, as the names of the streets in which certain parties reside, and the numbers of their houses. The CHIEF JUSTICE—You have only said that you have not infringed the patent of the plaintiff, but that you are carrying out the patent of another man ; but you give no name. Sir FREDERICK PoLnocx—The Court can compel the plain tiff to give explanations. But the defendant does not come here of his own accord ; he is brought here to defend himself, and the plaintiff cannot force upon him a particular line of defence. If his defence be a bad one, he must take the con sequence. The COURT—Take a rule to show cause. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE came into Court at ten o'clock. THE QUEEN V. THE MAGISTRATES OF RADNOR. Mr. CURWOOD said he was instructed to move for a rule to show cause why a writ certiorari should not issue, calling upon the Justices of Radnorshire to remove into this Court a bill of indictment for felony. The circumstances connected with the case were as follow :—A man named Thompson, of re spectable connections, was indicted at the last Assizes of Radnor, and convicted of stealing a number of plates, and as the preamble of the indictment mentioned that it was " against the peace of our Sovereign Lord the King," the prisoner's att or ney took several objections against the indictment so framed. On calling upon the officer of the Court, he dis covered (although the prisoner had already been convicted) that the indictment had been amended, and instead of the foregoing words there had been substituted " against our Sovereign Lady the Queen," but leaving " against the crown and dignity of our Sovereign Lord the King" remaining.— ( Laughter.) The COURT enquired what was the object of the motion ? The Learned CouNsEl. replied that it was for the purpose of showing that the alteration in question was not made by the authority of the Court, but by the officer alone. Since the passing of Peel's Bill no judgment could be arrested under such eireumst.inces, although it might be done by de murrer; but he apprehended the present case would not be a,:sisted by that Bill. He did not mean to cast any imputation on the officer of the Court of any criminal intention, but it was a question of vast importance to the country at large that the public records should not be tampered with. The CoUßT—\Vas judgment given? Mr. Cuitwoon—Yes, my Lord ; the prisoner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. The COURT-Then you had better move for a writ of error. Mr. Cvnwonn—The Chairman's notes which were taken at the time would explain the objection. Th e c e u ß T_The Chairman's notes prove nothing ; for the mistake must be corrected by affidavits. But suppose your motion is granted, what then? . . . _ _ Mr. Ceawoon—Then the indictment would be quashed, as the alteration should have been made by the Grand Jury. If the record was produced, then the Court would clearly see the alteration. The COURT—The Chairman's notes would be very different from a copy of the depositions taken at the trial ; and, under all the circumstances of the case, the better course to pursue would be to refer you to a full Court. Rule nisi granted. Cause to be shown in a full Court. THE QUEEN V. THE MAGISTRATES OF POOLE. Mr. BARSTOW moved for a rule to shlw cause why a man damus should not issue to compel the Magistrates of the Borough of Poole to show cause why they refused to sign warrants for the co ll ect i on o f a rate to defray the expenses of lighting and watching that town. A rate had been made, and although several attempts had been made to levy the same, the inhabitants refusal to pay any money. Warrants were in consequence applied for to enforce payment, and none of the Magistrates would consent to give their signature except the Mayor ; and the inhabitants, perceiving that no proceedings could be instituted against them, refused to contribute, and the town was therefore in total darkness. The COURT —Marc the recusants been summoned before the Magistrates ? Mr. 'l3' Artsrow—The Act of Parliament does not require such a proceedinrr. The COURT--.l't is usual, on such occasion!, to summon such persons as are defaulters to shots cause before the Ma gistrates why they refusNl to comp'y. However, take a rule to show cause.--Rulo granted. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, YESTERDAY. —The sales since our last have day by day been consi dcrably, chiefly to the trade, in the middling, and fair quali ties of Americ an ; speculators have run upon the low high coloured quality, and upon low Surat. The most active buying Was yesterday, when the refused parcels of the were eagerly bought up. Our importer's are all firm, and free sellers, but our stock is now chiefly in speculators' hands, some of whom. are now realiz'ng, and the future state our Market seems to depend upon the immediate wants of the trade and the delay of imports. The z..uctions were ill attended, nNirly all withdrawn ; 5,800 A n, 1,400 Surat, 200 Egyptian, 150 Pernams, on speculaticn ; and 350 American and 400 Surat exported. `here height of the th ermometer i n the open a i r , on Mon lay ai.el Friday - mornings, was a difference of full 20 degr( es in tl.e " WE MUST CHEER THE DUKE." BY A DYSPEPTIC TORY. " It is notorious that persons were going round among the Tories, on the day of the Queen's procession. saying, We must get up a cheer for the Duke of Wanton.' " — Morning Chronicle of this day. Sound the trumpets and beat the drums, Fur the hero of heroes eastward comes He comes to dazzle Guildhall with hl3 glory, Aud show how the City doats on a Tory; So cheer him—cheer him, ye rabble rout, Let hats and handkerchiefs wave about; Cheer him—cheer him, ye Tories all, Whether within, or without, Guildhall— Up to the sky with your wild acclaim, Till Gog and Magog blush for shame, And the long-eared tribe, in dulcet tone, Chime in with a bray so like their own. What, not one theer-'—not one hurray, For the Duke of Dukes on this proud day For him who, greatly to his praise, Opposed that curst Reform of Grey's ; Made a Bishop of Phillpotts, the meek of.mood, ( As artizans carve a block from wood); And, by way of a Tory illumination, Set Swing ablaze throughout the nation ? Oh, shame I it chills one's blood to stone To see the Tories so cast down ; When each should set up a deafening cheer, And his lungs crow out- " like chanticleer—" But we've fallen on evil times ; Reform Drives all before it in cloud and storm ; The good old days of factious schism, High Church, and rampant Toryism, All, all are gone ; and of Wellington's name (I say it to my country's shame, Who long such base neglect will rue) There's nought remains but--Waterloo ! THE SUN EXPRESSES. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO TIIE CITY.—The particulars of this interesting visit, so national and so gratifying, reached us by post yesterday morning, owing to the extraordinary exertions of The Sun London Evening Newspaper, which in its Second Edition of Thursday cvning, gave twelve Columns of the Details of the Preparations, Progress, Banquet at Guildhall, Illuminations, &c. &c. &c.—Bucks Herald. The particulars of her Majesty's Visit which we have elsewhere given, arc abridged from The Sun newspaper, for a copy of the Express Edition of which evening journal, we are indebted to, and are happy to acknowledge the cour tesy of, its spirited and active proprietor.—Noryolk Chron. It is but justice to state that we are indebted to the proprietor of The Sun newsp. , per for the greater part of the foregoing account. The spirit of enterprise with which that popular journal is conducted on occasions of this kind, has ever given it a deserved - pre-erninence.— Suf,lk Chronicle. — The Coventry Herald courteously acknowledges the oc press edition of The Sun, containing the ample report of the Queen's visit to Guildhall. " ExpaEssEs."—W e are glad to perceive that The Sun newspaper is about to commence its spirited exertions for forwarding the earliest intelligence of public events to the country. The importance and interest attached to the approaching meeting of Parliament must render this peculiarly desirable ; and we trust the enterprising pro prietor will be well rewarded for his zeal and energy. We of the provinces derive immense benefit from his la bours, as we are frequently put. in possession of news a day sooner than by the usual course of post.—lnver ness Courier. [Thanks.] COURT' CIRCULAR. The Queen gave amlience • yesterday at the New Palace in St. James's-park to the Marquis Conyngham, the Earl of Albemarle, and Viscount Melbourne. The Lord Mayor called at the palace yesterday. Her Majesty had a small dinner party last evening,. Among the company were the Lord Steward, Viscount Melbourne, Viscount Alorpeth, Lady - and the lion. Miss Dillon, the Countess of Mulgrave, lion. C. A. Murray, Lord Lilford, Vice-Admiral Sir Robert Otway, the Hon. Colonel Cavendish, Colonel Buckley,.and Colonel %Vemyss. The Duke of Cambridge left Cambridge House, Picca dilly, at half-past nine o'clock yesterday morning, for St. Leonard's, near Hastings, on a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager. The Princess Sophia Matilda came to town yesterday from her residence on Blackheath. Her Royal HiglinQss visited the Duchess of Cambridge in the afternoon. The Duchess of Cambridge, accompanied by the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday at Gloucester-house. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office. It was attended by Viscount Melbourne, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount Duncannon, Lord John Russell, Viscount Palmerston, Lord Glenelg, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Minto, Sir John Hobhouse, Lord Holland, Mr, Poulett Thomson, and Viscount Howick. The Council met at half-past two o'clock, and sat nearly three hours. The Earl of Mulgrave and Captain Napier had inter views with Viscount Melbourne yesterday, in Downing-- street. Count Sebastiani, the French Ambassador, transacted business at the Foreign-office yesterday. • Major-General Napier, Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, had an interview with Lord Glenelg yesterday, at the Colonial office. Sir Henry Seton, one of the Grooms in Waiting on her Majesty, has been seriously ill for some weeks past. Four of the Queen's Pages, Messrs. Whiting, Kinnaird, Loades, and Ballinger, attended on her Majesty and the Royal Family at Guildhall, on Thursday. STOCKPORT REFORM FESTIVAL. The arrangements for this highly interesting event pro gress rapidly towards completion—as will be manifest from a simple statement of facts. The Victoria Pavilion has arrived from London, and is now in course of erection on the ground, a solid flooring having been laid on the site to be thus occupied. The Committee have decreed a public entry to Messrs. Cobden and O'Connell. Our worthy resident Member, Henry Marsland, Esq., accompanied, by William Barlow Worthington, Esq., Mayor, the Town-Clerk, the Members of the Municipal Council, and all the Officers of the Corporation will as semble in the Market-place of this Borough on Monday, for the purpose ot proceedin g thence to meet our future Representative, Rich a rd Cobden, - Esq., and Daniel O'Connell, Esq., the Member for Dublin, and of escort ing themto the Victoria Pavilion, where the Dinner will take place, and the live-long night be devoted to the feast of reason and the flow of soul—the Mayor in the Chair. The demand for tickets having far exceeded the ori ginal issue at 2s. 6d., the Committee authorised the sale of some hundreds of additional tickets, at five shillings, and those remaining after Friday night, will not be parted with under half a sovereign. As it is, the Pavilion will be of insufficient dimensions, and the Committee are erecting galleries for the further accommodation of the friends of freedom and justice, in which arrangements, as will be seen from a perusal of the advertisements in another column, the gratification of the ladies has not been overlooked. On Tuesday evening there will be a Grand Bali. On Wednesday evening possibly (that is, if all the legs be not incapacitated by previous exertion) another. On Thursday evening a great meeting (convened by the Worshipful the Mayor on a numerously signed requisition) to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for 'IKE BALLOT. And on Friday evening another great meeting for the purpose of promoting the establishment of a NATIONAL SYSTEM OF EDUCATION. It will thus be seen that the coming week will be one of momentous importance —one calculated to raise Stockport above the low level of Tory domination—one designed to elevate the population of this Reformed Borough to their proper station•as men and as rational beings—one to be enjoyed at any sacrifice—to be remenbered with pride so long as memory shall recall the shadowings of by-gone pleasure and the realities of duty discharge d. If we judge rightly of the people of Stockport, tens of thousands will greet the noble patriot of abused Ireland, and the enlightened advocate of every liberal measure, with the hearty welcome to which such qualities are so richly entitled: It is right we shonld undeceive Mr. O'Connell as to the sentiments of the industrious population of England to wards his native land. He must no longer be permitted to. deem us lukewarm in the cause of the oppressed. We, who have scarcely emerged, thanks to O'Connell and his Ir;bh Colleagues that we have emerged, from Tory usurpation and injustice, may well avail ourselves of this glorious op portunity of tendering him our grateful co-operation towards the extension of a like justice to our sister island, the mother of his patriotic affection and devotedness. Men of Stock. port ! one of the master-spirits of his age and ours, is about to become your guest ; receive him as he deserves ; giv him an improved idea of British justice : he is the chum pion of our many rights yet withheld—he is the g eneral under whom our battle for th ose r i g ht s h as to be fought he it is whom Tories and traitors abuse—he, your invitet. guest. Remember yourselves-=and remember too— " We ne'er may look upon his like ;pip." —North Cheshire Reformer.

A South Australian Gazette of the middle of June has been received, from which it appears that the settlement was advancing in prosperity, and the Governor h a d a d opte d every means to protect and conciliate the n.Ltivo population. He issued a proclamation, stating that it was his duty to apprise the Colonists of his intention to take every lawful means for extending the same protection to the native population as to the rest of her Majesty's subjects, and his determination to punish, with severity, all acts of violence or injustice which night be practised against the natives, who are to be consi dered under the same safeguard of the law as the Colonists.

It gives us much pleasure to be able to state that her Majesty has been pleated to confer a Baronetcy on Matthew Wood, Esq., M.P., Alderman of the city of Lon don. From the deserved popularity of Alderman Wood, acquired by a long-continued and . effective a d vocacy o f t h e Liberal cause, and devotion of his energies to promote the public good, this act of royal favour will be peculiarly ac ceptable to the people. It must, indeed, be highly grafi f, ing to all the friends of liberal principles to see the ho nourable and consistent conduct _of Alderman Wood thus rew-rded by his Sovereign. Lord Duncannon transacted business yesterday at the Home Department. Mr. Poulett Thomson and Sir John Cam II •b -house transacted business yesterday at the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Office.
