London : Longman, Orme, Brown, Green, and Longmans. •The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o' Clock. LONDON : THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1837 There will be found in ancther part of our Paper a communication from a Correspondent on the subject of Parliamentary Privilege, to which we invite the atten tion of our readers. This subject, it may be remem bered, was a good deal discussed some months ago, both in and out of Parliament, in consequence of Chief Justice DENMAN having, in the course of a trial in the King's Bench, wherein a plain tiff sued the printer of a Parliamentary Report for a libel, called in question the privilege of the House of Commons to publish that which the law of the land considered a libel. The view which we took of the matter differed from that which air our Tory and most of our Liberal Con temporaries adopted. The Hanoverian journalists were horrified at the deadly attack made by the House of Commons upon the liberties of the people, and ap plauded Lord DENMAN to the echo for resisting their unheard-of tyranny. Had the House of Commons been in good odour with the Tories at the time—had it been at the beck of a PITT, a LIVERPOOL, or even of a PEEL—we doubt whether we should have wit nessed so simultaneous and so enthusiastic a burst of patriotism from their organs. To us it appeared impossible to refuse to the House of Commons the privilege claimed, without admitting a train of consequences equally mischievous and absurd. It seemed not consistent with common sense, either that an inferior Court should sit in judgment on the acts of a superior one, or that the proceedings of the Court of King's Bench, however libellous, might be blown in every eye by every printer and billsticker in the king dom with perfect impunity, while the House of Com mons should be liable in damages for letting the people who elected them to their high office know what they are doing. Nor could we see, as some of our Contemporaries did, the great benefit which would result, in a constitutional point of view, from the gag attempted to be imposed upon the national representa tives, between whom and the constituent body we had imagined the most unrestricted freedom of communica tion should prevail. Our conclusion was, that although inconvenience or injury might occasionally accrue to individuals from the exercise of this and other privi leges of the House of Commons, these privileges were necessary to the due discharge of its functions —and, further, that the House, and it alone, must be the judge of its own privileges. We are gratified to find our views amply corroborated by various decisions of the Court of King's Bench, while it was graced by some of the brightest names in British jurisprudence. Our Correspondent " A Re former" has given, in the letter to which we have referred, a luminous sketch of the cases in which the privileges of the House of Commons have come into question in Courts of Law ; and the uniform result has been that the Court has no jurisdiction—the Houses of Parliament are the sole judges of their own privileges. The sale of the loyal Stud, about which Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has been making such a fuss in the Tory Newspapers, took place yesterday, at Hampton Court, and realized—will our readers believe it ?—the enormous sum of 15,0001.! This is the amount of the horse-flesh which, if dispersed, was declared by Old Glory to be preg naia with ruin to the country—was to in flict a blow as irrecoverable as if our whole Navy were destroyed. 01(1 Glory, we know, is not a con juror. He made that fact manifest enough when ► le welit to St. JOHN LONG to have the gout charmed out of his toes, by tickling his back-bone ; and every thing he has done since, down to the lerenziadc about the loyal Stud, has tended to confirm it. None of the horses brought great prices, " Colonel," the only really superior horse in the whole lot, fetched no more than 1,550 guinr: ds , and wa s bought by Mr. TATTERSALL. It ';iotlld not have been a matter of the least consequence had every one of them been transported and Old Glory along with them, Want of space alone prevented us from noticing earlier the proceedings at several public meetings re cently held nt Bheffield on the important subject of National education. The Dissenters, ever foremost iu nc'cive exertions to promote the moral and intellec tual improvement of their fellow -countrymen, and of mankind zencrally, have called several public meet ings for the purpose of petitioning Parliament in favour of a National System of Education, in the bleWngs of which all classes and sects may freely participate. From the report of a public meeting held at Sheffield on Wednesday last, given at great Itrigth In the Sheffield chronicle of Saturday, we regret to find that the Clergy of the Established Church are prepared to throw every obstacle in the way of the Dissenters, unless the latter consent to place the new system of education, together with the funds voted to support it, under their exclusive ma nagement. This is a COIICCSSiOII which the Dissenting • _« 4111 - ' l 4-‘ , _.. Eht au*. P ri-W SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1831. the projet_?,t,ol hilt the qUestion of religion is not settled.

About three weeks afterwards I saw the horse at Hampstead ; he was sot then so lame, but the foot was still contracted. I again saw him on the 9th June, still lame, and the contraction as before.

Besides, as ottr 'Able Contem porary, the Sheffield cimmtkfe Says, the Dissenters are not the party to make concessions. They have WO richly endowed Universities, no tlcli beneAeo, ito bishoprics, deaneries, pluralities, an'd cAthearal stalls, for titled drones --nod such f.; wed worldly morsels as tithes and Easter-offerings. When the .1 7 ,*,tblIShed clergy strip themselves of then tvelusive pastoral comforts the Dissenters will start even with them ; but until then it is natural that those who suffer from their enjoyment of 1:o much should not Concede them more. While we write a meeting is holding at Manchester for the same purpose as the meetings referred to at Sheffield—the national educa tion of the people. Its proceedings, as well as those of every other meeting on the subject, shall hence forth receive our earliest attention. The following account of its object is copied from the Manchester Times of yesterday ;--. ,‘ We understand that the immediate practical object contemplated by the promoters of this movement is an Educational Society, to be composed of the friends of a national system, who will at once collect and disseminate information calculated to improve and extend the present means of education, and to pave the way for the effort of the legislature, whenever public opinion shall have forced a comprehensive measure from the Government. We are convinced that such a society might, by making more efficient the means already available for purposes of popular instruction, confer a very great benefit upon this and the neighbouring towns." We see by the Cardiff Chronicle, that the Anniver sary of that great Welsh National Festival, the Cym rcigyddion, was held at Abergavenny on Wednesday and Thursday last. As the object of this National Festival—at which Welshman of all classes and par ties in politics meet together in good fellowship—is to encourage the native music and literature of the coun try, it gives us pleasure to learn that it is yearly in creasing in popularity. The meeting of Thursday was the best attended of any that has yet taken place. Among the assembly was Mr. GUEST, who, at the close of the proceedings, made some excellent obser vations on the propriety of giving every possible en couragement to modern And ancient Welsh Literature. The Paris Journals of Tuesday contain no inte gence of any interest from Africa, and nothing what ever of a later date than the despatches announcing the fall of Constantine. The KING has commanded a statue of General DANIREMONT to be executed, in order to have it placed in the National Gallery of Versailles. The following sketch of his military career and character is from the Journal de Paris of Tues day : Governor Lieut.-General Count de Damremont has found beneath the walls of Constantine, and at the entrance of the breach of the conquered city, the death of a soldier, in his 33d year of military service. One of the children of that military school which, ever since its first establishment, has paid so glorious a tribute upon every field of battle, he served through his inferior grades in the campaigns of the empire, and distinguished himself in all. As aid-de-camp to the Duke of Ragusa, in 1814, together with General Fabvier, he was one of those who signed the Treaty of Chevilly. The restoration found him Colonel, and gave him, in 1830, the command of a brigade of the etpeditionary army of Africa, under the orders of M. de Bourmont. He obtained from the present Government the command of the eighth territorial division ; and the firmness and modera tion, the calmness of temper, and presence of mind, which were the characteristic traits of his character, maintained order, and re-established tranquillity every time that anarchy or counter-revolution attempted revolts in the south of France. When appointed, in 1836, to the Government of the French possessions in the north of Africa, his conduct was such as to make his administration generally esteemed, and his character appreciated. As general en chef he fully de veloped those qualities which distinguished him as adminis trator, in the prudence of his measures, and his immovable firmness. He was advancing to inscribe his name with glory upon the annals of French history, when a Turkish bullet arrived to terminate a life, which had been ever a military one, by the death of a soldier. In the midst of the general anxiety, and the fears which all those must feel who have brothers, friends, or children in the French army in Africa, the death of the general en chef is felt by all as a public misfortune. It is, in fact, paying dearly, far more dearly, than was t h oug h t, for the reparation of last years disaster. General Count Damremont may be considered as the type of those officers, unfortunately so little known, who, to bold, calm, and austere manners, unite a modest reserve and a completely disinterested character—qualities too often, eclipsed by noisy emptiness, and an exaggerated ex pression of devotion to their Prince. Characters of this stamp, true models of soldiers, ought to prove th a t rea l mi litary excelle nce cons i sts neither in ostentation of courage, nor in over excess of zeal. Serious, modest, quietly ob serving, General Damremont, was always as he may have last been seen in the high command he held. The mode ration of his feelings and opinions rendered the execution of his military duties easy to him, under whatever circum stances these duties placed him. Among all, of whatever political opinion, of whatever rank in the army, he had sin cere and grateful friends. His loss will be severely felt ; and even if the death of a general thus buried in his tri umph were not to be deplored, we ought, at least, to ren. der homage to a life so well passed, so gloriously termi nated. . A 'le Dcum was celebrated at the Church of Ver sailles on Tuesday, to return thanks for the recent vic tory in Africa. All the Members of the Royal Fa mily at present in Fiance accompanied the KING and QUEEN. Most of the Great Officers of State were in attendance on their Majesties. The following article from the Courrier Francais, accounts for the coolness of M. de BA RA NTE's recep tion at the Court of St. Petersburg. It will, perhaps, be remembered that when M. de BA RAN TE announced to the EMPEROR the marriage cf the Duke of OR LEANS with the Princess HELEN of MECKLENBURG, his IMPERIAL MAJESTY was reported to have an swered, " Very well, M. de BA RA NTE, Russia will give a Princess to the Duke de BoRDEAux." To this the French Ambassador answered, that he re quested to be informed whether his MAJESTY made such a communication to him in a Ministerial or indi vidual capacity ? The EMPEROR replied, "In either, or both ; as you please." The Courrier Francais is of opinion that NICHOLAS is not influenced by the marriages of the ORLEANS family, but by an irrecon cileable hatred of the Monarchy of July. We hold a different opinion. It is not the Revolution of July, but the growing power of France, and the recent liberal policy of the KING, that alarms the EMPEROR. While the Court remained in opnositien to the country —while France remained distracted with reports and fears of plots and conspiracies —while the law officers found work for the police, the guillotin e and the gal leys—and while the Royal family had its alliances spurned by the branches of one of the oldest Imperial houses in Europe, NICHOLAS was the dear friend of LOUIS PHILIPPE. But the King of the FRENCH discovered the madness of his own career—he cooled in his attachment to Carlism—and conceded to the nation the right of its omnipotence. The heir -ap parent to the French throne advocated a liberal policy in his interviews with the Russian Plenipotentiary, and the Protestant Courts of Germany offered to pro. vide consorts for the Princes of the House of Orleans —thus indirectly acknowledging their conviction of the stability of a dynasty resting on the new order of things. Hence, in our opinion, the sudden outburst of hosti lity on the part of the CZAR. The following is the article to which we are referring:— " The Legitimatise journals aro too precipitate in announcing, the approaching marriage of the Duke de Bor deaux and the Grand Duchess Olga of Russia. It is true that in August last there were some communications on " A letter a the 10th inst. has been received from Oran, stating that on the Ist plots of ground were distributed to the three regiments in garrison at Oran, in order that the troops might make experiments for naturalising the potato in the province. The entire regiment of the Saphis had been ordered to encamp at Misserghine. The natives had been recommended to take their families with them, and land was to be given to them to cultivate, in order that they might form a village. The number of Arabs who come to the French market with provisions of all kinds, was daily augmenting. Abd-el-Kader was said to be per paring some presents for the Royal Family of France, and amongst the number several handsome bournoug or. Arab cloaks, ornamented with gold and silk, and manufactured with great care at Mascara. The Emir is said to have re jected several ostrich plumes which he consitlered not suffi. ciently handsome, and to furnish which, as well as some lion and tiger skins, all the tribes of the Sahara had been put under contribution. It is also stated that Abd-el-Ka der's representative at Oran has communicated to General Bugeaud a curious document, being the bulletin of a suc cessful expedition, headed by the Emir in person, against several tribes of the Sahara." There is nothing in the Moniker this morning. The Madrid journals of the 15th, which are expected this morning, had not arrived when we were going to press. The Indicatcur of Bordeaux says—" The Spanish Consul of Bayonne has just received am from Pampe luna of the 17th, and from Valcarlos of the 20th. Col. Iriarte, with four battalions, attacked the day before yes terday the Carlists, who, with six battalions and four pieces of cannon, occupied the heights of Larrasoana, and drove them from their positions. The Colonel left a battalion at Larrasoana and proceeded to Erro, from which he also compelled the enemy to retreat. In conse quence of this attack, Valcarlos is at present delivered from the enemy that besieged it. According to the Memorial Bordelais of the 21st. the Captain commanding the artillery at St. Jean, Pied de Port, went to Arnegny'on the 19th, to choose the site of a bat tery to be erected, in order to cause the Fren c h t err i tory t o be respected, in case the Carlists should approach it. A letter from Tudela of the 14th, in the Phis, e of Bayonne, says, " According to a letter worthy of credit, which we have before us, it seems that the faction of the Pretender and our troops occupy the same positions as on the 9th. There was great desertion among the Rebels, and some of them presented themselves every day. A de tachment of the garrison of Soria had taken a band of 39 Carlists, with its Chief (Remigto), who was shot, with two of his partisans." --Le Commerce. FRENCH FUNDS.—PAEIB. OCT. 24.

Mary Smith, alias Harding, a nymph of the pave of the lowest grade, was indicted for stealing a purse, con taining six sovereigns and some silver, the property of Francis Cohan Kelly, from his person, on the 29th of July last. Francis Cohan Kelly, the prosecutor, stated that he re sided in the Hampstead-road, and was a clerk in the house of Messrs. Walkers, of New Inn. On the night of the 29th of July last he went into the Acton Arms public house, in the Kingsland-road, for a glass of beer and to in quire his way to Islington. At that time he was not tipsy, but had been drinking with a few friends. Three women followed him into the house, of whom he believed the prisoner was one, and called for a quartern of gin among them. Witness put his hand into his pocket for some change to pay for the beer he had had. Finding that he had no silver, he took out his purse and gave the land lord a sovereign, who previous to giving witness the change asked the women who was to pay for the gin? to which they replied the prosecutor was. To this, however, Mr. Kelly demurred ; but ultimately agreed to pay it, fearing a disturbance. He then put the change in his pocket, and went away. All the three women followed him, and the moment he had got out of the door one of them seized him by both arms, another came to his right side and one to his left, and upon his attempting to get away the woman on his right side unbuttoned his pocket and took away his purse, containing six sovereigns, one half-sovereign, three half crowns, a shilling, and a sixpence. They all then ran off ; shortly afterwards one was taken, who had been tried and transported. Witness would not swear positively to the prisoner being one of the women. _ A servant at the Acton Arms public-house swore posi tively to the prisoner being one of the women, and that he saw her hold the prosecutor round the waist when he was outside the door. Mr. Freeman also swore positively to the person of the prisoner. The prisoner, in her defence, denied having anything to do with the robbery. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET summed up, and The Jury immediately found the prisoner Guilty. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET said that she must expect to leave the country. Henry Kellerman, a sailor, was indicted for stealing one jacket, the property of John Thomas, and two stockings, the property of William Birch, in the dwelling-house of Mary Ann Hall, and for burglariously breaking out of the same. From the statement of the prosecutrix it appeared that she kept a lodging-house in Old Gravel-lane. The prisoner had been her lodger, but had quitted the house by the de sire of the prosecutrix shortly before the robbery. On the morning of the 23d of last month, she was called up by her lodgers, and informed that the house had been robbed. On going down stairs, she discovered the prisoner in the custody of a policeman in the yard, and upon his being searched a pair of stockings was found upon him. John Lord, one of the lodgers in the house, stated that on getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning in question, he discovered the prisoner getting over the pailings into the next yard, witness followed and called him, but he did not answer. Witness then alarmed the house, and the pri soner was secured, and the property found upon him. Witness had secured all the doors of the house the previous night, and he supposed that the prisoner must have got in at a window that looked into the yard. The jacket was found in the yard. _ _ _ _ _ _ 'The prisoner, in his defence, denied the robbery and said that he had got into the yard to seek a night's rest, having been wandering about the streets for the two nights' pre vious without knowing where to go, his landlady having turned him out and taken his coat and watch from him. Mr. Justice COLTMAN summed up at some length, and The Jury acquitted the prisoner. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Thomas Smyth, aged 30, was indicted for stealing, on the 17th October, a watch and chain, the property of Edward Wm. Baynton. Mary Porter, servant to the prosecutor, who resided in St. John's-wood, deposed that the prisoner called at the house to inquire about lodgings. He was shown into the drawing-room, where the watch was safe. The witness went to call her mistress. After her appearance he said he would call again. In ten minutes after he went the watch was missed, and no one else had been in the room. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the watch. He had pleaded guilty to stealing a jug, which was the only offence be had ever been guilty of.—Verdict, Guilty. The COMMON SERJEANT said there were two bad cases against the prisoner, who it was evident had seen better days, and had come there under a false name. If he could call any one to character, the Court was disposed to show mercy ; if not, it would be his duty to sentence him to transportation. The prisoner said he had come under a false name, as he was very desirous that those with whom he associated in former days should not know what he had done. He had been for two years a soldier in foreign service, and on his return he found all his relations and friends dead. He had committed the first crime for the purpose of getting transported, but since he had been in prison, he had felt changed, and if the Court would extend its mercy to him, he would never appear there again, and would go out of the country as soon as possible by some other means.

His Grace the Duke of Devonshire will arrive in town on the 7th of next month from Chatsworth, his seat in Derbyshire, having accepted the invitation of the civic authorities to dine at Guildhall on the 9th. The Earl and Countess of Harcwood are receiving a distinguished party. Lord and Lady Holmersdale and Lord and Lady Stourton arrived the beginning of last week. The Western City Glee Club commenced its season last evening with a musical soiree. The selection comprised ' some of the best compositions of Haydn, Calcott, &c., and the madrigal, " Flora gave me fairest flowers," which were well performed by Misses Birch, Woodyatt, and M. 13! Hawes, and Messrs. Atkins, Dando, Novello, and Turner. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.—Last week a hay stack at Newark, Selkirkshire, actually took fire of itself'. The reason assigned for this singular occurrence is, that the hay had been put into the stack shortly after it was mown, and before it had been properly dried by the rays of the sun. Had not Francis Binnie, one of the servants, given the alarm, and a considerable number of the adjoining inha bitants almost instantaneously lent their aid, it would have communicated throughout the whole stack-yard. A plen tiful supply of water being close at hand, the fire was extin guished before much damage had been dono.—Edinburgh Advertiser. DUNDEE, OCT. 21.—There has heen• rather a limited demand this week for flax yarns, but a good deal has been done in dowlas and osnaburgs, and there have been orders sent to this market for fine goods, which are not to be had. As coarse fabrics are quite neglected, we hope our manufacturers will turn their attention more to the description now in demand and not to be had. Of flax 360,000 poods had been shipped off from Russia, leaving 200,000 poods on hand. This information tends to keep prices firm here ; and our importers may hope to obtain some good bargains in Russia during the winter. BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS BRUSSELS, OCT. 25.—Mr. Virgil Maxey, Charge d'Af faires of the United States in Belgium, has arrived from America. Baron Rothschild set out this morning for Paris. The Chamber of Representatives continues the debate on the Tariff, but has not ended the discussion on the duty upon hosiery. In the sitting of yesterday it agreed ito a project of law for a vote of credit of ten millions for con tinuing the works of the iron rail-roads. The second vote on this law was fixed for Wednesday. FRANKFORT, OCT. 20.—Sir Robert Peel set out this morning early for Munich. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 4.—(Austrian Observer.)—Hi s Imperial Highness the Archduke John arrived this morn ing with Prince Adalbert of Prussia, accompanied by the Austrian Field-Marshal the Prince of Windischgratz, and a numerous suite of officers, on board the Marianne steam boat, from the Crimea. The weather was extremely stormy during the voyage, so that the arrival of his Imperial High ness was delayed one day, without any accident, however, to the steam-boat. The Archduke alighted at the Hotel of the Internuncio, where everything was prepared for his reception. Prince Augustus of Prussia had to-day an audience of the Sultan, at which Duke Maximilian of Leuchtenberg was also present. Some days ago General Von Butenieff, the Russian Ambassador had his audience of leave and left Constanti nople to-day, returning to Russia on leave of absence. The sanitary state of the city continues to be satisfactory. FRANKFORT, OCT. 21.

ROME, OCT. 12.—Letters from Naples say that the ap pearance of the French squadron in the roads had at first caused much alarm, as differences had for some time ex isted between the two Governments, especially in respect to the steam navigation. They were speedily and ami cably settled between the two Governments. We hear that the Cardinal Secretary of State has spoken strongly . against the system of sanitary cordons. showing how useless they have proved to he, and how pre judicial to the people. It is said to be in contemplation, as soo❑ as the cholera shall have wholly vanished here, not to have any more blockades of this kind, nor to allow any town in the whole country to follow that system. The cholera has disappeared in the neighbouring towns and vil lages, and nearly so in the provinces. There is now no cordon either on the north or the south, so that the Ro mans may expect many visitors in the winter. The break ing up of the cordon towards Naples saves the Treasury 40 or 50,000:scudi per month, which in the present state of the finances is very welcome. BELC,IAN I. UNDS—Baussus, OCr. 24.

Accounts from Oahu, Sandwich Islands, state that touch excitement prevailed there in consequence of an in sult to the British flag recently perpetrated by the natives. The flag was publicly burnt in the streets. The typhus fever, which was lately raging in seve ral districts of. the metropolis, has now almost wholly dis appeared. The Fever-hospital at King's-cross has not more patients than the average number. A few weeks ago it was crowded. - The prices realised for hops at the late Weyhill fair are stated to have been—Farnham, 71.t0 81.; country, 51. 10s.; Sussex, nominally, 4/. to 4/. 4s. A new weekly paper is announced under the title of the Railway Times. Its politics arc, of course, those of the movement. Within the last fortnight upwards of twenty houses, in the lino of the procession, that were untenanted, have been lot on terms very favourable to the landlords, the par ties who have taken the premises expecting to clear half a year's rent, or more, on the 9th of November.

It is in agitation among the merchants and bankers in the city to obtain an order in Council, to declare the 9th of November a general holiday, to celebrate her Majesty's visit to the city ; but as some difficulty will be experienced respecting Bills of Exchange falling due on that day, it will be a difficult task to overcome the obstacle—no person being compelled to pay Bills before they are due ; and numbers, perhaps, cannot raise the wind until that very day ; but 'tis expected that some plan will be adopted, that the merchants and bankers will be able to avoid this diffi culty.

The sales are 3,000 bags ; no alteration in prices. The House of Commons is now filled with work men, who are renovating the interior, preparatory to the commencement of the session. The men arc engaged in re-painting, white-washing, and re-cushioning the seats of the Members, and five new Committee rooms are also in a state of forwardness. The agent of the Church-rate Abolition Society (Mr. Boykett) has been in Leicester and has had an inter view with some of the principal Dissenters, and we under stand that it is intended to hold a public meeting sometime in next month, with a view to forward the interests of Dis senters in the ensuing Session of Parliament by the aboli tion of Church-rates.—Leicester Mercury. On Friday the half-yearly general assembly of the Company of Proprietors of the Margate Pier and Har bour, was held at the Town-hall. It was announced that 1,343 passengers more this year than the last, had paid 1 s. each ; and that a balance of 3,425/. was now in the Trea surer's hands, being a few pounds less than last year, aris ing from a falling off in the duties upon coals. The steam boat Companies made an offer to run boats during the winter, at sixpence each passenger, pier dues. The Direc tors mean to take this proposition into their consideration.— Canterbury Journal.

Great preparations are making for illuminations on the night of the day on which her Majesty intends to honour the civic festival at Guildhall with her presence. Four re spectable tradesmen i❑ the Strand have united and are to have the fronts of the houses illuminated with gas, to be supplied from the same pipe, with great splendour. Yesterday afternoon, between three and four o'clock, a fire broke out in the upper part of the house of Mr. Voyer, Gilbert -street, Oxford-street, which for a time threatened the most serious consequences to the adjoining neighbourhood. In a short time the King-street, Crown street, and other engines of the London Fire Establishment reached the spot, but at first the difficulty of procuring water prevented them all being put in operation. In a few minutes the flames extended to the second floor, When ad ditional assistance arrived, and the firemen having conveyed the hose of their engines through the adjoining houses, for tunately confined the damage to the upper part of the house. The inmates were absent from home when the fire broke out, and no account can be obtained as to its origin. TFIE MELTON AFFAIR.—This matter, which had apparently been quite forgotten, has again been brought forward by a local magistrate, and the public will ere long, we have no doubt, have the whole of the particulars be fore them. It will be in the recollection of our readers that an indictment was laid against a Noble Marquis, which was removed by certiorari into the Court of Queen's Bench, and it appears that nothing has since taken place. It is now stated by the Magistrates at Melton that if the constables do not prosecute, they will take the proceedings into their own hands. Our advices from Nassau state that the recent gales had been very serious there and in some of the neigh bouring islands. At Grand Bahama the crops on the coast had been washed away by the sea. At St. Salvador se veral houses were blown down and the growing crops de stroyed. At Long Island, in addition to houses and crops destroyed, a number of cattle and sheep were carried off by the sea. At Rum Key one man was killed and the da mage to property was very great, no person in the island having escaped without considerable loss. A meeting of the inhabitant householders of Birmingham is to be held on Monday next, to petition the Queen in Council for a charter of incorporation for the borough. • Intelligence was received at Vienna on the 18th inst. of the safe arrival of the Archduke John of Austria at Constantinople. • NOVEL UNDERTAKING.—The match to row from Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, sooner than a man could run it, to Lyon's, the boat-builder, took place on Tuesday, and turned out contrary to the expectation of some of the very good judges. Jem Parish, the waterman, of Strand-lane, was selected as the sculler, and a tailor, named Raper, a York shireman, was the runner. The amount of stakes is not yet known ; but there was a good deal of money in small sums laid out upon it, at 6 and 7 to 4 on the waterman. At a few minutes after one they started from the Yorkshire Grey Stairs. Raper went off admirably, and pursued his course through the Colleg e , J ew ' s - row, Pimlico, through St. James's Park, and out at Storey's Gate, up Great George-street, and over Westminster Bridge, to Stangato. The work on the water was very difficult. It was at a left-hand labour down to the Spread Eagle, and then ex ceedingly hard work on the right. Although in Mr. Julius's boat, Parish's exertions were of no use. He lost by a minute and twenty-seven seconds. The runner performed his distance in sixteen minutes. Both worked exceedingly hard ; but Parish was terribly baked, The tailor is open to run against any Waterman, FINE ARTS.

Had we ever entertained a doubt whethei or no Turner was a poet, that doubt would be Olvre by his Illustration of those well-kno wn lines 0 1 t ' " Pleasures of Hope," where, alluding to the And es ' Campbell says— " Andes, giant of the western star With meteor standard to the winds unfurled Looks from his throne of clouds o'er half the wo rld." f Every one must remember, that in the old e ditions c l a " The Pleasures of Hope" this giant was rep resel by the figure of an enormous man,' palpable and sub stantial as a ticket-porter at the India Hou se, who wais, squatted on the summit of a mountain, hold in g a tor e in his hand like that which link-boys carry at I I theatco,. and , looking- just as if he wer e ill t he act ° crying out ! , vatit a light, your Honour !" No w the l r i, is nothing of this v u . l , , , sar, literal, m atter•of-fac t, LJ tarian spirit in Turner's i;!iistration of the same suvio ject. He very properly leaves ti.; g iant to our ° suit imagination—which can alone invest him With able grandeui—and contents himself with sinlePiy pourtraying the icy summits of the Andes, r-,1), ing up their stern, haughty fronts, far abOV° e t 1 clouds which girdle them half way, a s if, lik e Titans of old, they were about to invade the inaiestYs h e of Heaven.

So far picture is impressive enough ; but why, i n the itt, of Heaven, has the arti.lt marred its effect , by the naked feet, dicrous introduction of-tWai squat, upturned , of true Dutch build, which, being placed in ground, are the very first objects on which the eye res h t o Death, the skeleton, becomes merely a burlesque W placed in juxta-position with the two great tc' es 0 , substantial humanity.
