The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 20 minutes past Three o' Clock. • LOND ON : FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 3, 1837. We copy from our enterprising and liberal Contem porary, the !Vest Briton, a report of a Reform dinner which was given, on Monday last, at Bodmin, to Sir WILLIAM TRELAWNY and Sir WILLIAM 'MOLES wonTu. The speeches made at this dinner, wLich was attended by all the influential Liberals of the neighbOurhood, are remarkable for their spirited and sagacious character ; and will give—what, we giieve to say, is much wanted—a vigorous stimulus to Re form throughout Cornwall. Sir WILLIAM TR,- LAWNY, alluding to this subject, said—" In order to promote a further Reform, I would recom mend you to agitate—agitate at all your meet ings, at your vestries, your markets, your ordina ries, in the fiAd, and by the fire-side ; struggle on again for Reform in Parliament, for you have not got it yet." This is true. We have got the shadow, but we hare not yet got the substance. The Ballot is still withheld from us— Triennial Parliaments are still withheld from us—other equally important mea sures are still withheld from us; and while this is the case, it cannot be said of us otherwise than that we ate merely standing on the threshold of Reform. The Ballot, in particular, is a question which, if not promptly settled, will keep the country in an incessant state of agitation, most detrimental to the cause of all national improvement. "At the last election:* says Sir W. MOLESWORTII, " nut of five-and-twenty contests, the Liberal party was defeated in twenty three, and if the same causes of defeat continue to exist, probably at the next general election, hardly a single Reformer will ba returned for the agricultural districts of Eni.t6n,L" An'l yet, notwithstanding this, We are told to look on the Reform Bill as a merwdrf,‘ which has freed us for ever from Tory ! Why, th.a. t .• • ucsprmsm pretty 1 1Zarlf as formida',le as 84 ' 1 unless MiY.lsters actively bestir themselves, andsympathize more with the people, and less with the fe elings of the aristocracy than they hare hitherto done, t hey will assuredly be ousted from place, and a Tory Caovemment wilt be unposed upon us, which wilt render our prospects of Reform more precarious Than ever. What then do we require Ministers to 40 1 Why, just this--to take up a bold position, and Maintain it at all hazards, How can they justly corn- VII 6) that, during the past elections, the people sue t umhed to the threats and manoeuvrings of their landlords, when we find them giving way in pre tisely the same meek and submissive style to the aristocracy ? Can the poor, dependant elector, be blamed for yielding to the menaces - of his Rector, when Lord JOHN RUSSELL blinks the question of a thorough suhstantial Church Reform, from an equally acute apprehension of the spiritualthunders of the Episcopal Bench ? Let Ministers set the example of manly independence, and they may rely on it that the force of that example will not be lost . on the com munity. Well and boldly spoke Sir WILLIAM Mot,EswoaTH, on the subject of the Ballot. "To the party here assembled," he observed, " among tl:e desired reforms, the Ballot must appear the most ur-ent ; for von have just felt the undue influence and unscrupulous intimidation exercised by Tory landlords. You have witnessed how the aristocracy of this county compelled whole bands of tenantry to vote against their inclinations. The tenants were men fully as intelligent in political affairs as their landlords ; ne vertheless they were forced to the poll, com pelled to look. upon the elective flanchise—the highest privilege of a free man—fis a curse ; or to ex pose themselves and theit families to the malice of the persons on whom they are dependent. I cannot con ceive how any just persons, after the recent elections, can hesitate any longer on the que:.:tion of the Ballot." Mr. LE I DER, in a speech full of statesmanlike saga city, alluding to the policy which Ministers ought to pursue at the present crisis, said, " Let them relin quish the vain attempt to conciliate the Tories ; let them take out of Tory hands the com mand of the army ; let them employ their power in the State, and their patronage in the Church, to weaken their enemies and to strengthen themselves let them give to the people a free Press and a system of National Education ; let them show a willingness to admit the people to' a share in the selection of their representatives, and to make the House of Commons what it ought to be—let them do this, and they may bid defiance to the Tories, and remain for many years the most powerful and the most popular' Ministers that ever ruled this country." So say we ; but then in order that Ministers may be brought to adopt this beneficial tone of conduct, it is necessary, above all things, and before all things, that the people bestir themselves. Let them not sit looking in each other's faces, and crying out in tones of despondency, " What can one man do ?" But let each and all put their shoulders to the wheel, and by measures of mutual instruction, by combination, by frequent intercourse and communication of thought, do their utmost to en force what they consider to be their undoubted rights. Let the people but act in this manner, and their just triumph is certain. But let them continue in a state of lethargy and indifference, and the Tories will be come their Task -masters, for a whole generation to come. We refer our readers to the accounts in another part of our Paper, from Liverpool. The :IVlunicipal election in that town has terminated in the return of 12 Liberals, and I Tories. This is a trumpet tongued comment on the late boast of Lord SAN DON, that he and his colleague were returned by the unbiassed suffrages of the constituency of Liverpool. The fact that these gentlemen owe their scats exclusively to the corrupt freemen, is, we think, now pretty clearly established. It is some comfort to think that these degraded wretches are rapidly rotting off. We are most happy to find that in every other municipal contest of which intelligence has reached town, the Liberal party hare been victorious in spite of the most desperate efforts on the part of the Tories. We find in our respected Contemporary, the Oxford Chronicle, a report of the proceedings at Wallingford, last week, when the Reformers of that borough gave a grand entertainment to THOMAS TEED, Esq., the late candidate for their suffrages. About 150 staunch friends of the good cause assembled on this occasion ; and a great many more would have attended had they been sufficiently independent to assert their genuine sentiments. There is, however, here, as in other places, a party of back-bone Tories opposed to all re form, and so inveterate are they in their political hos tilities--so little of the milk of human kindness, to say nothing of Christian charity, do they possess—that they do all in their power, to ruin every man in his worldly circumstances, whom they even suspect of libe ralism. The Reformers, however, have not only not succumbed to these would-be tyrants of Wallingford —these despots in a small way—but have fought the battle with them so manfully as very nearly to have gained the victory at the late election. It was to cele brate these noble exertions, and to pay a tribute of respect to the high-spirited gentleman who led them on against the hosts of corruption and intimidation, that the festival to which we have alluded was held. Mr. TEED made an excellent speech, in which he drew a very just if not a very flattering picture of Toryism, which he contrasted with its antagonist " pre sentment," in a happy strain of eloquence, displaying powers eminently calculated to promote any cause in which they may be exerted. We arc much pleased with every patt of Mr. TEED'S address ; but if there is one portion of it which delights us above the rest, it is that in which he declares him self - an uncomprising Ballotist. He is one of the many thousands who have been converted to the truth by oxperience—;he schoolmaster whose lessons always come home to the mind. Like multitudes of other men, Mr. TEED was opposed to the Ballot, because he had only looked at one side of the question -because while he saw some evils attending se cret votin , ,, he had not sufficiently considered the magnitude and the prevalence of the evils to which it would put a stop. The " working" of the Reform Bill, during the late election, has, how ever, swept away a host of doubts. and fears which seemed to emharrass the minds of many truly liberal and enlightened men. Such men were loath to relin quish the hope that the " Bill" would be found ade quate to the objects for which it was intended, without the introduction of a mode of voting different from that which custom has sanctioned. These hopes are now no more. The conduct of the Tories in savagely coercing every person within their power, in cor rupting those whom they could not intimidate, and in fabricating votes ad libitum, has proved to the convic tion of all reasonable minds, that we must either have recourse to the Ballot, or surrender our liberties to the 'relies —to those men whose delight it is to foster abuses, and whose business it would be to reduce freedom to a minimum, not only here, but in every quarter of the wodd where English influence could be made available. Between these alternatives, there is no room for hesitation in the breast of the most timid politician in existence. And therefore it is that the question of the Ballot has gained ground so amazingly within the last few months. One hears no other poli tical topic listened to with patience. The universal voice is " we must have the Ballot—there is no remedy but the Ballot." On this all-engrossing topic Mr. TEED thus addresses his friends at Wallingford. We need not say that we ceartily jlin in the hope that Ministers will take up this great question, for now is the time to do so effectually,. both with advantage to the country and to themselves : There were other questions that must speedily come be fore Parliament, and one—of vital importance—impelled forward by the force of events, and by the necessity created by Tory intimidation. That question was the Ballot.— (Cheers.) Before his (Mr. Teed's) coming to Wallingford, he was not an advocate for the Ballot. lie became a con vert from his e x perience on that occasion.—(Hear, hear.) That question had lately made more converts than any other question ever made in the same length of time. — (Hear, hear, hear.) He sincerely hoped that in the event of another dissolution, the Ministry will appeal to the coun try on th a t subject, and be governed by the result.— (Cheers.) Many objected to the Ballot forsooth, because was un-En g li s h ! Th at cannot b e un-Eng li s h w hi c h existed and s till ex i sts i n many private and public societies in England.—(Cheers.) In the East India House, in the Bank of England, th e B a ll ot prevails, and was the ' only mode of election.—( Hear, hear.) In many, nay, almost all the clubs and societies o f pr i vate gentlemen , - the Ballot had been introduced.—(Hear, hear.) If then the Ballot 4 :l;tr - S, (n•• 411 - 11 k, ` , l 7Si-40 zhe 211111-' THE LONDON, FRIDAY, NrOVEINI 814111, 3, IS ii. m.vas essential to gentlemen of independent fortune and sta tion, bow much more important and essential was it to the poor man, to the tradesman, the mechanic, and the small farmer.—( Cheers.) The pride he felt in the number and respectability of the gentlemen assembled to meet him that evening, encouraged has to continue his exertions in the cause of Reform, and to endeavour again as before to become the standard-bearer of the burge3ses of Wal lingford—(Loud cheers)--and to emancipate that consti tuency from becoming the pocket borough of Mr. Black stone—( Loud and long-continued cheers.) The health of Mr. HOLLAND, M.P. for Hastings, having been drunk in connection with the Liberal ma jority in the House of Commons, the Hon. Gentle man addressed the meeting in a very spirited speech. In alluding to the course of policy likely to be adopted in the approael - ,ing Session, Mt. HoLLAND remarked, That important incasnrcs will then be introduced there cannot exist a doubt : what those measures will be could not then be known ; but he anticipated that the measures of the present administration would be equal at least to those previously introduced—measures which had been passed successfully in the House of Commons, but which had been rejocted by the Lords.—(Hear, hear.) It was supposed that those measures which had been al ready agitated and di,:cussed in the House of Commons would be brought forward first in the Lords. He bad no doubt hut that the Ministry would provide remedies against the present irksome mode of collecting the means for keeping the Established Church in repair.—(Hear, hear.) It was not the amount of which the Dissenters complained, it was the principle involved.—(Hear, hear.) His conviction was, that the Dissenter would in the next session be relieved from that irksome impost, and would not be called upon to pay what was contrary to his con science to contribute.--(Cheers.) Justice will at length be done to Ireland--(Hear, hear,) —justice which had com menced by slightly amendinr , the Irish Church.—( Hear, hear.) Ireland had never been so well off as she was nt present. A further justice will be extended to that people, by conferring equal municipal rights with those of England and Scotland.—(Hear, hear.) During the progress of those reforms the people had a right to look forward and exert themselves in supporting the present Administration, and not to admit to power those professing - principles hostile to them, however they may disguise themselves and say that they are neither Tories, nor Conservatives, nor party-men. —( Hear, and laughter.) The Tories conceal themselves and are ashamed of the name. For his own part he should be very sorry indeed that he was not a party-man ; for he was convinced that there were two parties in the kingdom, the one to continue and perpetuate abuses, the other to remove and dispel those very abuses.—(Hear, hear.) The measures over which the people should exert the ut most vigilance were those which had passed triumphantly in the House of Commons, and which had been rejected by the Lords, who arc universally known to be a Tory body. The next gentk.nan who was called upon to address the meeting was Mr. EYSTON, to whom thei Re formers of Wallingford, and the cause of Reform in that quarter, owe so much. Who is there that does not acknowledge the justice of the following admirable observations, with which Mr. EYSTON concluded his animated appeal to the judgment as well as to the feel ings of the assembly ? Under the Tory domination how many were the heart burnings that existed in this country ? Let the state of cir cumstances then and now be contrasted.—( Hear.) Much can be referred at the present day to the kindness and con ciliating spirit of the existing Government.—(Hear, hear.) Force and violence had been the vile instruments of that baneful party.—(Hear, hear.) The sister country derived every benefit from the present Ministers. Were it not for the mild and merciful administration of Earl Mulgrave, in stead of the "battle of the Diamond" becoming a toast, it would have been ere this put into operation on a bloody field.—(Cheers.) By the measure of Reform other coun ties have been benefitted. Without it liberty could not have been carried across the Atlantic to the degraded slave.—( Cheers.) Yet it has been asked what benefit has 'Reform conferred ? It has also been said that Re formers were destructives—that they want to destroy the House of Lords.—(No, no, unanimously.) It was not the object of the country to destroy the House of Lords.— (Hear, hear.) That House ought to be the governing branch. The real dclugers or destructives were Mr. Pitt, Mr. Addington, and Lord Liverpool. In his pocket he (Mr. Eyston) held the proof, if any proof were wanted. That proof was to be found in a number of the Times news ptper. That paper has been accused of wearing two faces under one hat.—( Hear and laughter.) It may be asked, what face was that then worn It was the face of 1832. —(Laughter.) .In the paper of that date there exists an elaborate account of the Peerage deserving alteration. By that document it appeared that the total number of Peerage additions by Tory Administrations from the year 1760 to 1829 amounted to the modest amount of 325! The total number of Whigs amounted to 37 I— (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Reformers of the pre sent day are delugers or swampers of the Lords indeed 1 Pitt created or manufactured 65, in order to carry on the French war. Addington produced 55, and Liverpool in 14 years created 88. Liverpool was truly prolific—(Laughter) —and reminded him of a lady who honoured her Lord with twins, and being complimented, said she expected next time to have a litter.—(Hear, hear, and roars of laughter.) He attached much weight to that matter, as the Tories— real sinners as they ever were—charge others with the crimes of which they themselves have been guilty.—( Hear, hear.) Such has ever been the custom of pickpockets.— (Hear, hear.) Civil and religious liberty he did not de mand for his country alone—he demanded liberty from Ca tholics to Protestants in Catholic countries—(Loud cheer ing)—and he should be ashamed not to give to others that amount of liberty that he claimed for himself.—(Tu multuous cheering, every one ruing as if actuated by one spirit.) Mr. Eyston concluded with " Civil and religious liberty all over the world."—(Chrers.) We regret that we are obliged, by want of space, to curtail an extract which we had intended to give from the excellent speech delivered by Mr. STo No it, the unsuccessful candidate for the representation of Ox fordshire. The following passage, though short, is long enough to shlw that Mr. STONOR is a man of sterling English stuff : " Constitutions of exclusion on the ground of religious opinions was an exploded doctrine.—(Cheers.) Look to Catholic Belgium with a Protestant King—(Cheer:)—to France with a Catholic Minister. Yet such would be the i rinciples and conduct of Mr. Blackstone if Tories were in power !—(Hear.) Look to the speech of Lord Durham, and see the liberty that existed in a country confessedly less civilized than E ng l an d. R uss i a was i n to l erat i on f ar su perior to English Toryism.—(Cheers.) Could not Mr. Blackstone find any aggressive act on the part of a Protest ant in Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) lie is reported to have said that he too was for justice to Ireland!—(Laughter.) If he were for real justice, he should bring his accusations against both, or not against either.—( Hear.) When that speendi was delivered, loud applause followed—the audience was wo thy of the orator, the orator of the audience.—( Hear, hear.) The toast whielt he would have the honour to propose was one which he had no doubt would be acceptable to the Assembly—"justice to Ireland"—justice founded on com mon sense ; justice towards the Established Church, and justice which shall be acceptable to the people of the country.—(Cheers.) The Corporations of Ireland were ten times worse than in England—( Hear, hear)—and all privileges should be extended to both countries alike.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) This principle was founded upon the Act of Union. The subjects of our part of the empire should nut be treated in a different manner to those of ( n iace g i ee t ci h itit a i soo t anl U st r ne , i aa o nd n de . conspiraciesacgcoaCn en h l s e u t e d r t s Ini ) eot nw ' t y_ h o e np( r c e e e r should s.) the other.—(Cheers.) new argument s h ou ld b e fur d ed ro fo p o o t sio t g o nullifyl)!A ie l s eod S t ef t o ho h n ar e o rr r ge l ep r a i e s l 'a l i t u f i l " Justice to Ireland."--(Loud cheers.) We beg to direct public attention to an-important letter from that terror of Post-office peculators, and scourge of Post-office abuses, Mr. WALLACE, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The Hon. Member for Greenock has touched the most sympa thetic chord in the bosom of an Englishman. He has sounded to its depths the tender philosophy of the pocket. He has weighed purses in the balance, and found them wanting. In the brief period of eight years he proves by evidence the most unanswerable— the evidence of facts—that the nation has lost nearly a million sterling, in a department hitherto cried up as a model of perfection. This is putting the question of the " admirable working" of the Post .office on a basis the most intelligible to the matter-of-money com prehension of Englishmen of all ranks, classes, and professions. We trust he will persevere in these investigations. Whatever be his own opinion, or that of his constituents, we can assure the Hon. Member for Greenock that he cannot render a greater service to the country than by continuing to investi gate and expose, with a view to reform, the abuses which impede the salutary working of the Post-office Establishment. This observation has reference to the the department gcnerally—nut to management of mere details which involve no principle, and sAhicll, if changed immediately, would only effect a saving of a paltry salary of a few pounds a year to the nation, at the risk of starving some 1)0Jr - devil with a large family, and no other means of support. The great pint is to make the Post-office responsible to the [louse of Commons and the country, as ,well for its internal and external management, as for all losses incurred by individuals having recourse to it as a safe medium of monetary transit. Were this great object effected the lesser .reforms, now so difficult of accom plishment, ‘vould follow as a matter of course, and with comparatively few sacrifices of the interests of indivi duals. The responsibility of the Post-office woad soon remove every objection to the establishment of a Money-letter Registry-office, on the plan adopted by Sir EDWARD LEES' in Dublin. For its own sake the Post-office would take care to prevent the frauds which now so scandalously disgrace its internal management. We therefore sincerely trust tliat Mr. WALLACE will bear this great distinction in the nature of the abuses to be investigated fully in mind during the prosecution of his future inquiries ; and likewise, that he will con fine himself principally to the reform of an establish ment, the evils of which he understands better than any other Member of the Imperial Legislature. The Directors of the Bank of England have promptly and wisely announced their intention of present ing all bills due on the 9th, on the Bth, in accordance with the wishes of the public generally, in order that se rious matters of business may not interfere with the grand celebration of the QUEEN'S visit to the City. Lord Mayor's day will, on this occasion, be a real holiday. It will be seen by Mr. O'CONNELL'S subjoined letter, published in the Pilot of Wednesday last, that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman asks Lord CLOY CURRY to sanction a postponement of the intended meeting of the Irish Peers and Commoners until the 16th of this month, and the change of place to Lon don instead of Dublin : TO LORD CLONCURRY. Merrion-square, Nov. 1, 1837.. MY LORD,—On my arrival here, I discover that, under existing circumstances, it is impossible to have so effectual a meeting of the Irish Liberal Members of both Ilouses of Parliament as the all-important crisis of our affairs impera tively requires. Not a few of the Irish Peers and Com moners, whose presence would be most desirable, arc already gone to England, and some arc actually on the Continent. having communicated these matters to your Lordship, I anticipate the readiness with which you will sanction a postponement of the intended meeting until the 16th of this month, and the change of place to London. The Houses of Parliament meet only for formal business on the 15th, with the exception, in the Commons, of the election of a Speaker, which will take place on the last mentioned day. The Session will not actually commence the real business of the nation until Monday, the 20th. We shall therefore have three days to devote to the mak ing of such arrangements as ►nay appear best suited to ob viate the evil and injustice which the Spottiswoode gang of conspirators intend, aided as they arc by—to their eternal disgrace—so large a body of the Parsons of the Established Church. I have the honour to be, my Lord, respectfully, your faithful servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL. We have received the Paris Journals of Tuesday and Wednesday—the latter being the festival of All Saints was a close holiday on the Bourse. They bring no news save what is contained in the following brief extracts : The Mini sterial Journal of this evening completes the tele graphic dispatch which was begun yesterday. We subjoin the whole : BORDEAUX, OCT. 20; 6 P. m. A fter the affair of the 11th, Espartero succeeded in placing himself between the Pretender and Zariateguy. The latter is pursued by Lorenzo in the di rection of Villa Franca, while Espartero, having returned from Barbcrdillo and Salos de los Ontaria, was on the 18th marching against Don Carlos, who was retiring by way of Caboleda to the province of Soria. While the Government, with the most imperturbable sang froid thus publishes a telegraphic dispatch a day behind the 'ordinary mail, we receive letters from Bayonne, also dated the 26th, like those from Bordeaux. They inform us that 64 Carlist battalions, composed of Navarese and Biscayans, with the Infant Don Sebastian at their head, had arrived at Estella on the 22d. The cause of this retreat was said to be the refusal of the troops to keep the field on the other side of the Ebro. According to the same account the Pretender had remained with only the old Castillian battalions, and the new ones composed of deserters from the Christinos, and of the prisoners who had enlisted under his banner. But another account says that Don Carlos is on the banks of the Ebro, about Haro. The following is an extract from a letter, dated Logrono, 20th ;—" Zariateguy passed the Ebro this morning, at ten o'clock, at the ford of Revcnga, in the greatest disorder. General Lorenzo is marching rapidly in pursuit of him. Es partera arrived on the 19th at Montenegro, near Villastada. The Pretender is in the Secrra with four or five thousand men. Espartero was marching against him. If Don Carlos takes the route toSoria it is doubtless to proceed toLowerArragon ; if he turns towards Catahorra it will be to pass the Ebro." It was also said at Bayonne on the 26th, that the permission for some Spanish troops to pass over the French territory, in order to go from Irun to Valcarlos, had been received by the preceding telegraph. The first refusal, which was yielded to the arguments of General llarispe, had been communicated by express to the Carlist Chiefs, by their friends at Bayonne. OCT. 31.—A postscript to the Sentinclle des Pyrenees of the 28th, confirms the arrival of Dun Sebastian and Zaria teguy at Estella on the 22d, with fourteen incomplete batta lions worn out with fatigue, and in a state of the greatest des titution. The most numerous of these battalions does not amount to 300 men. According to a letter from the Commander of the Queen's army, published in the Noticio, of Saragossa, of the 233, Lorenzo had passed the night of the 19th at Be fordo, and Espartero passed, on the same day, through Mas terio, in close pursuit of the Pretender, who was only three hours' march in advance of him, and had with him only 4,000 men. The same journals believe that the delay of the march from Madrid for three days is owing to a band of 1,500 men from Catalonia, which infests the high road, and interrupts the cc mmunications. It is affirmed that General Oraa is gone to Old Castile, and has left Nogueras and Dors() di Carminati near Car.taviega. General Lopez is appointed Governor of the Isle of Cuba. —Le Commerce. Letters from Madrid, of the 23d ult., state that the QUEEN was about to re-place MENDIZABAL at the head of the Finance Department. The Cortes were then engaged discussing the Report of the Committee on the Quicksilver Mines Contract. The typhus fever had appeared in the capital. The following extract from a letter from San Sebas tian, dated the 26th ult., is from the private correspon dence of a Morning Contemporary. We have no political news from the same quarter, and, as for the surmises of individuals, they are really worth nothing when the subject of them is the future conduct of the Spanish belligerents:— The battery at the lighthouse Iguelda was the scene of a most shocking catastrophe last • night about nine o'clock, at which hour it was struck by a flash of lightning, accompanied by one of the loudest thunder-claps I ever heard, by which one soldier was killed and ten others so dreadfully wounded and burned that little or no hopes are entertained of their recovery; many others have been more or less injured; the building itself is shaken to the very foundation ; indeed I have never witnessed a sight so horrifying as the remains of the poor fellow killed presented • the injuries of the ten others would be disgusting to relate. The most extraordinary part of this dreadful calamity is, ha the room above that in which all the Spanish soldiers were injured, w as quartered a detachment of the Royal Artillery employed upon the works ; and although the men were scattered about the room, not one was hurt. A store of thirty barrels of ammunition was also in the same room, and, most strange to say, escaped, although the lightning struck within a few feet of the place where the barrels were piled. Colonel Colquhoun, of the Royal Artillery, who has been in defatigable in his exertions from day light to sunset in superin. tending, and even assisting in completing, the fortifications at this point, has this morning resumed his labours, and, notwith standing the dreadful calamity that has happened, and its con sequent injury to the works, together with the present unfa vourable state of the weather, the battery will be completed in a few days. I am sorry to have to add that Santa Barbara was also struck with lightning last night. The injury to the works -has been inconsiderable, but the sentinels have been severely scorched —there is no danger of their lives, and they have been placed in the general hospital at St. Sebastian. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, YESTERDAY.- Thero continues to be a br:sk demand for Cotton, and the sales to-day are 7,000 bags, at very full prices—say 500 Pernams at Sid. a 91d. ; 200 Bahias 74d. a Bd. ; 1,600 Surats 4d. a 50., and the rest American 6d. a 7/d. per lb. ; 1,500 bags American, and 700 Surats are rather on specu lation.

ROLLS -COURT--(THIS DAY.) This being the first general petition day, the Mister of the wp.s occupied the t hiehe rncrning tvith consent petitions. ROniscuum v. ct.-NNINotiAm. This petition came before the Court under the following circumstances. A plantation in Jamaica, v.ith slaves, be longed its moieties to Lord James O'Brien and a gentlem - An of the name of llosford. After the death of Mr. llosford, Lord James O'Brien li:inf.; one of his trustees and exacutors, ti e whole estate in 1816 was put up for sale, and sold for 1,800/. 1,300/. WaF pair! on account of the purchase money, and the •residuo (3,(100/ ) for sorry time rcina;ned unpaid, but was filially paid by the late Mr. Nathan Moyer Rothschild Mes.irs. Hindman and Cunoingham, the pu..clizsers, and Lind James O'Brien and the execu'ors and trustees of Mr. Ilorford, concurred in conveying the plantation and slaves hy dLed dated July, 1830. to Messrs. Chatfield and Co., in trnst to se cure 3,0001. to Mr. Rothschild, and subject to that mortgage in trust to Hindinan and Simes, the owners of the estate. In 1831 those gentlemen became bankrupts, the mortgage of 3,000/. and interest remaining unpaid. In this state of tilings the Slave Emancipation Act, of the sth and 6th of William I V., was passed, and the Commissioners under that Act awar;led between 2 000/. and 3,000/. as compensation fur the slaves upon the estate purchased by Hindman and Cunning ham. The present suit had been unitituted by the executors of Mr. ROthschild against various persons in Antigua, v+ho had brought forward claims to this compensation money, and the object of the suit was to realize the money due to Mr. Rothschild, and to have those sums of money paid. Mr. PEMBEhTON, now appeared in support of a petition by the executors of the late Mr. Rothschild and the trustees of the mortgagee, praying that the payment of the compensation money to the defendants might be stayed. Lord LANGDALE thought the money ought not to be paid out without notice to the plaintiff; but, of course, any further order could be male on the appearance of the plaintiffs. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) Ilis Honour the VICE-CIIANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with unopposed petitions. QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. FRANCIS KING EAGLE, ESQ...-..CRIMINAL INFOR• hIATION. Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK had been instructed to apply to their Lo:dships for a rule to show cause why a criminal in formation should not be filed against Francis King Eagle, Esq., a Justice of the Peace for Bury St. Edmund's, under circumstances which he should shortly state to the Court. It appeared that the election for Bury St. Edmund's was fixed for Monday, the 24th July, and that on Saturday, the 22d July, two days before the election commenced, Mr. Eagle had committed to prison upon an order of application, ten years a person whom he knew to have a vote, and whom he had canvassed in vain to vote for the party for whom he (Mr. Eagle) was interested. He bad committed him without having issued any summons, which, as the Court was aware, it was the duty of the magistrate in such cases to issue ; and being himself a Barrister of many years' standing, he could not have been ignorant of the irregularity of what lie was doing. The committal had been made out upon the application of a person who was not himself an overseer, or an assistant over seer, but merely an officer of the Board of Guardians, of which Mr. Eagle was a Governor ; and he must therefore have known the character of the man, and that he was not an over seer, although he was certainly so described in the warrant. It was stated further that no application was sworn in the presence of the individual committed, nor were the informa tions read over to him : and all that had been done, after ano ther magistrate, who was not a learned gentleman, had refused to interfere, on account of the staleness of the order, and the proximity of the election. It was known that Mr. Eagle was believed to be aware of these circumstances. Lord DENMAN—When did the refusal by the other Magis trate take place ? Sir F. PoLLocK—I believe the very same day—the 22d July. The affidavits set forth, further, that it was believed the Magistrate was influenced by sinister motives. Lord DENNIAN—Does your affidavit say that it was believed to be for the purpose of preventing his voting ? Sir F. PoLLoex—Certainly, my Lord ; and it sets forth the active interference of Mr. Eagle on behalf of ore of the candidates, and the dismissal of a watchman for not voting as Mr. Eagle required him. COURT—Was the voter actually in prison at the time of the election ? Sir F. Poi.Locx—No, my Lord; in point of fact ho did vote. COURT-But the deponent believes that he was sent to prison for the purpose of being kept out of the way ? Sir F. POLLOCK—YCS, my Lord. The election began on Monday, and the polling took place on the following day. * COURT—How did he obtain his liberty ? Si, F. PoLLocK—I presume, by paying the money. COURT—We think we ought not to trouble you with going into the particulars of these affidavits, presuming that you have fairly stated their contents, and you have entitled yourself to the rule.—Rule granted. CRIMINAL INEORMATION.-THE QUEEN V. THE PRO lET 0 11. AND PUBLISHER OF TIIE NEWCASELE JOURNAL." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had been instructed to apply for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the proprietor and printer of the .Newcastle Journal, for a libel published in that paper. His application was made in behalf of a gentleman named Russell Boulby, an attorney of that Court, and he had been compelled to make the application in vindication of his own character. Mr. Boulby resided in Sunderland, and whatever might be said in the public papers respecting his political principles was, he ad mitted, a fair subject of controversy; but in the present case the most unfounded aspersions were thrown out upon his reli gious principles, or rather his want of religious principles. Their Lordships, he trusted, would not allow a newspaper warfare to be carried on with such poisoned arrows ; and no thing was more likely to do that, than to introduce charges which were calculated to degrade a man in the opinion of his fellow-men, by attributing to him a want of religious princi ples. The imputation thrown out against Mr. Boulby was no less than that he was an Atheist, whereby, of course, he must be looked upon with suspicion and hor ror by ail who were connected with him--by which his temper and interests would be seriously affected—and if the imputation were true, be would .be incapable of serving upon a Jury, appearing as a witness, or taking an oath. At the election fur Sunderland, Mr. Boulby seconded the nomina tion of one of the candidates, a gentleman named White, and after the election, there appeared in the Newcastle Journal some account of these transactions in two different places, tie: der distinct heads, showing that it was done deliberately. In one part it was stated that Mr. White was " supported by a reputed infidel," meaning Mr. Boulby ; and in another part of the newspaper it was- stated that ho was seconded by Boulby, the Radical Agitator, who had written the letter to Lord Durham, and that he was " a man without a Gel." Now, although the newspaper might have been privileged to denounce Mr. Boulby as a Radical Agitator, they had no right to follow up that assertion with a direct imputation that he did not believe in the existence of the Supremo Being. Ile (the Attorney-General) had the affidavits of Mr. Boulby and others, who had known him all his life, which would satisfy their Lordships that the imputation was wholly unfounded. COURT—Take a Rule. COMMON PLEAS.--(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) After their Lordships took their scats on the Bench at half past ten o'clock, the officer of the Court administered the oaths of allegiance and abjuration to the Lotto CIIIEF JUSTICE and Mr. Jthtice VacOnAN. HEATH V. ELLIOT. Mr. PLATT moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be entered for the plaintiff. It was an action for trespass, and was tried at the last Assizes at Sus sex, before Mr. Justice Littledale; when a verdict was had for the defendant, with liberty to move to enter a verdict of the sum of four guineas for the plaintiff. At the trial the plaintiff pleaded at bar that there were two downs; aimed llowton Down and Berry Down, the former of which he pos sessed, and that the other was part of the property of the Duke of Norfolk, part of which he v, as also in possession of; and then he justified that the cattle wandered from one down to the other arinst his consent; and that there never had been any separation or division in the lands from time immemorial, and the replication denied the immemorial one of the common. On the trial several witnesses were also called to sho..v the common use of the two downs ; and it further appeared that sheep h a d wan d ere d f rom one common to another, and that the only Inund was an imaginary line through s'.:veral posts which had been fixed at diff:rent places, and the defendant relied on the non-existence of the common in question. The Learned Judge, however, did not think that made any dif ference, and in his summing up directed the Jury to find for the defend int, and if he was wrong in his decision the Learned Counsel would set it right. Mr. Platt then cited several cases in support of hif argument, and submitted that the act of driv ing back the cattle established the right to a permanent in. closure. The Loan CIIIEY JUSTICE—Take a rule to show cause.— Rule granted. EXCHEQUER CO U R r. —(r ms DAY.) KOBEP.TS V. HOMY. Mr. F. KELLY moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of prohibition should not issue in this case for the purpose of prohibiting the Court of Requests at Bath from e:itcrirg up a judgment. The defendant was a gentleman residing at Bath, who objected to the plaintiff's name remaining on the register. The objector appeared before the Revising Banister, where the plaintiff alio was, and after hearing evidence the vote ms reta . n.:d. Theplaintiff was detained from his work for hale an hour, a nd summmoned the defendant to the Cou r t o f R equests in order to obtain compensation for his loss of time. That Court entertained the question, and awarded a sum of 10s. By the, 43d Goo. 111., which is the local act constituting the Court, the Cornissioners bad po wer to d ec id e " all disputes and differences between party and party, and all actions and causes of debt or assumpsit or returns" for quantum meruit, but did not give them any power to decide questions concern ing unliquidated damages.—.. Rule granted. Mr. Charles and Lady Wood have arrived at their residence in the Admiralty from a Continental tour. THE MARKETS-(THIS ~'.}-_- CORN EXCHANGE.

A few days since a little boy named Rogers, who se parents live in the Bower-road, was watching a carpenter, who, with a pair of compasses in his hand, was standing (1 1 /1 a stool, measuring some work. The stool unfurtun atel gave way, and threw the man to the ground, still holdinF the compasses, one point of which struck the child in hlg cheek, and was forced through the front of the upper i into the mouth. Frightful as was the accident, we ,re re say the poor little fellow is in a fair way of r id . ' cowry.
