LONDON MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 30, 1837. tains the report of the proceedings at a Church rate meeting held at Rotherham, on Friday, at I. which the Earls of Erle I NGII AM and Furzwi 1.- i LIAM attended, to recommend the 4vving of a rate which had, been refused by the parishioners some months previously. The Chairman of the meeting which had refused the rate, Mr. lIA TT E lISLEV, at tended to oppose the discussion of the question before 'the expiration of the year; and though the rate was sitbseqncntly allowed, the •friefidS . Of the Establishment had no . reason to boast of their victory. Mr. Ilitlnntsr,Ey objected to the interfe rence of the Earl of Furzwi 1.1 - ,1 A Nt, because his t ii l .1-fpr,(l), 7 tiv , property . I .0,...; 1,, th, i loo t h, !,,:o. : hioe,ll tit.. holder ,f I 1..,r, h p.,t,,,,, . g ,.,, ~,,d .d.lOl th,,t evcly ..:.:ct had I .k'! t..nti I t.11;•r...1 mt. 14,11,“viii! , tik,l r.t tli 111(11i : '• 1;.,k 1 kiooka have you consider whether every sect has not a stro►►g interest in the wellbeing of every other sect. The Church of England man was interested individually in assisting the Dissenters to provide the proper means of public worship, and the Dissenters had the same in terest in seeing the Church of England men provided. • That place was not the property of the Church of England, as a sect. It was the duty of the Legislature to provide for that sect that should be an undoubted and permanent majority, in order that the people might derive the great est possible advantage from the public edifices. ft would be a legitimate ground or complaint for a Dissenter, that the. wrong form of worship was established there.—( Hear, hear.) If the Baptists or the Independents should be come seven millions out of the twelve millions of English men, the Anglican form of worship and , the Anglican Ministers would, of necessity, and almost without legisla tive interference, he superseded by the worship of the ministers of the then greatest sect. But while the mem bers of the Church of England were the largest sect, the Legislatum must, of necessity, continue to maintain the Anglican form of worship. He should very much regret to see that which was now public property, taken posses sion of by •a,y individuals. In these appropriating des, he w dezirous that this at least should be rescued from the grasp of individual rapacity. If that edifice were to be repaired by subscription, from that moment it would become the property of those who subscribed, in the same manner as the Dispensary over the way was vested in the subscribers. While the church was supported by the community they had still the satisfaction of thinking that something was saved from the hands of individuals.. On these grounds he was averse that a subscrip tion should be_ had recourse to,\and he was not sure that he so very much approved the plan proposed by Government, as a substi tute for the present mode of repairing. It was desirable that the community of each parish should feel they had an interest in the maintenance of the churches, so that they might claim them as their own, to the exclusion of any individual." Henceforth let the Dissenters be silent. The Episco pal party are merely keeping the Churches in repair till they can claim them by the right of a numerical majority. What says Mr. O ' CONNELL to this argu ment of the Noble Earl ? Are there now anything ob jectionable in the Irish Tithes—now that Earl FITZ WILLIAM declares them to be the property of the priesthood of the majority ? The Noble Earl is the champion of the Church party at Rother ham. Why ? Because they constitute a majority ; not because their religious tenets are better than their neighbours: We shall see whether he will give ex pression to the same sentiments when supporting an Irish Church Reform Bill in the House of Peers. But the argument of the , Noble Earl goes for no thing, inasmuch as the Dissenters want to have no reversionary interest whatever in the edifices now occupied by the Episcopal party. They are content to have nothing at all to .do with Churches or Church livings, being resolved to provide church-accoMmodation for themselves, and to main tain their own spiritual pastors out of their own private funds. This is one of the principles of their religion, and it really surprises, us, that a noble man of Earl FurzwiLLlAm's capacity and intelli gence could fall into such an error as to sup pose that circumstances might arise to enable them to avail themselves of their reversionary interest in tithe-supported ecclesiastical edifices without chang ing their creed. With the Roman Catholics, how ever, the case is different ; and to them we must .sup pose the Noble Earl was addressing himself, when he talked of the expediency of keeping up a reversionary interest in edifices which once belonged to them. The following is a detailed account of the rate granted ; and we put it to anyhonest reflecting C hristian—Whether se vetal of the items ought in decency to be submitted to such a meeting ? What are we to think of the piety —of the mere regard - to decency—of a Priest, who has the assurance to put a washerwoman's bill among the items of his ministerial expenditure ? Shame - upon such hirelings !---- If there ever was a time when the people of thil country could regard the " Established" Clergy as safe guides either in matters spiritual or temporal, that time is certainly - not the present. As spiritual directors they have become incapacitated for the proper discharge of their duties, by that leaden influence which an establish ment must, from its very nature, sootier or later, shed over its ministers, and by a greater accumulation of those abuses to which ecclesiastical systems are sub ject, than the world haS ever seen elsewhere in so shod a space of time. Languor is the presiding genius of the pulpit ; spiritual•mindedness is banished both from the Church and her ministrations public and private. The so-called minister of the Gospel passes through the cold and lifeless. routine of his duties with - as much indifference as the lazy school-boy through his alloted task. We do not say that there arc no exceptions ; but here, as in other cases, the exceptions tend to confirm the rule. Let a minister, who really feels the importance of the trust confided to him, dare to break through the fetters which his bre thren have forged for him—let such a man venture to disturb the repose of the pulpit, and to evince that there and elsewhere his ambition is to devote himself to his Master's service to the exclusion of all worldly objects— and what is the consequence ? Do not the whole pack open in full cry against him. Is he not denounced as a schismatic who reads the New Testament when he should be studying the Rubric—as a fanatic who is labouring to undermine and destroy the Establishment, by dispensing with those formalities, which constitute the essence or a State religi'on, and introducing a spirit fit only for the taliernaele or the meeting-house. If, however, the Clergy are remiss and indolent in matters spit itual, they make up for it by their activity in the " temporalities." Here they are at home. Hera all is bustle, life, and energy. Arc the corn sheaves to be set out in the farmer's field, the pig-sties to be visited, or .the hen-roosts examined, who so nimble at these exploits as the parson ? Is there an election contest going on—then, indeed, he is in his clement, scampering about the parish, canvassing, stirring up strife, and doing every thing that he ought not to do. Tho vote was in favour of the grant of GO. for the repairs of the fabric, and 11/. for sacramental wine. The next items were 21. 2s. for a new warplicc, and 21. 105. for washing and repairing surplices. These were negatived, Mr. Clark voting against them. The following items were then allowed : bell ropes, 3/. 103. ; proctor's fees, 15s. Gd. ; parchment for regis ters for six years, to be sent to the diocesan registrar, 301. 1-Is. ; and cleaning the church-yard, Si. ss. The next item was for coals, &c., 8/. Bs. ; but on Earl Fitzwilliam declaring he should vote against that, the churchwardens withdrew it.' The following items were then granted :—ringers' salaries, 21/. ; for ringing a bell at six, twelve, and eight o'clock each day, hL ; attendance for the clock, 71. 7s. ; a tope necessary for the ringing of the quarter jacks, 21. 25., and for copying registers, JO/. Several of these items were carried unani mously. There was another item on the list of 101. for peram bulation expenses. After some discussion it was put that 51. should be allowed. The Chairman declared this to be nega tived. The decision was disputed, but it was not pressed to a division." Lettcrs and Papers from Madrid, of the 21st inst., and from San Sebastian, of the 22d, have been re ceived. On the Calabrian coast General O'DONNELL and Brigadier JOCK MUS have succeeded in taking the town of Guctaria, with some important military posi tions in its neighbourhood, hitherto occupied by the Carlists. O'DONNELL has likewise cleared the coun try round about Hernani, so that the rebels cannot blockade that fortress, as there is not a roof left to cover them within more than a mile of the garrison. From the capital the news is not of well importance. His Holiness, the PO: E, haS renewed for seven years the Apostolicai powers granted by the Holy Sec to the Patriarch . of Spain. As the Dceretal for the renewal of the Archiepiscopal jurisdiction, makes no allusion to the yrstion of succession in Spain, and is not conceded as a boon the faithful, who might suffer from the non•administration of the sacra ments, it has been received with great joy by the Court, as a tacit acknowledgment of the QUEEN'S authority. • A specimen of this pernicious activity is afforded in the paragraph which we quote below from our Con temporary, the Shcffidd Independent. We find here the Clergy secretly advising their parishioners to set the law at defiance. Can such conduct be matched for infamy ? It rcquires no comment : " 'I lie Grand Jury having found a true bill against the defendant, John Wainwright, of Garden -street, for re fusing to sign his name to the information he had given to Mr. William Clark (the Registrar of Births and Deaths in the north district of Sheffield), of the birth of his daughter, contrary to the 28th Section of the Registration Act, the defendant on Friday morn ing came to surrender himself, and pleaded guilty to the charge. Mr. Baines stated, that he appeared on behalf of the Registrar s of the Sheffield Union, who had preferred the present indictment for the purpos e of showing to the public that they were compelled to comply % - iith the Act of Parliament. Th e prosecutors were actuated by no vin dictive feelings ; but so many impedirnehts had been thrown in the way of the duties of the Registrars, that they had no option but to institute the present prosecution ; and as the defendant expressed his contrition, and stated that he had acted under advice which misled him, the prosecutors were willing to rec ommen d him to mercy, and to re quest d that a an nominal punishment only might be i n fli cte d . The efend having pleaded guilty to the charge, tile Chairman asked him why h e b a d refused. Ilis answer was, that he was authorized by tic Church ;' that they told him when he took the child to be christened at the Church, it was not necessary to register, and that he need not sign the book. The Chairma n sa id, .` Y ou arc a great fool for your pains.' Ile further observed, that as the object of the prosecution was answered by convincing t h e public that they were bound to obey the law, and as the prosecutors asked for a lenient sentence, he should only fine the defendant 6d., but this was the only reason for the lenient sentence. It was the bounden duty of all to obey the law, and the excuse of the defendant was no excuse." The Siffoa Independent of Saturday last, con- Thu following despatches from General ESPAR TER° to the Minister of War are copied from the Madrid Gazette of the 13th and 21st inst. consecu tively. It appears from .tl;e second, that one division of the Pretender's army under ZA lATEG fir has already re-crossed the Ebro, with the intention of wintering in the Basques. The despatches are as follow : " TO MS EXCELLENCY TIIE MINIaTER OF WAR. Head Quarters, Ontario del Pinar, Oct. 15,1837. " Excellent Sir—Through my communication of yes terday you will be informed of the glorious action of Hu erta del Rey, on the evening of that day. In that com munication I informed you of the complete dispersion of the cavalry and infantry of the rebel army in different directions. I was, therefore, undecided which course I should take this day ; but seeing the state of complete dis organization in which the enemy was, I resolved on march ing on this place (Ontario dcl Pinar), where I understood the Pretender to be. The moment he learned, through some of the factious who were dispersed yesterday, of this new defeat, he fled in the .utmost precipitation and fright to Quintanar de la Sierra, where he was this morning, after having been marching- the whole night. " Last night they gi ve or d ers t o re - un it e the dispersed, and sent a small fo rce f or thi s purpose i n t h e di rec tion of _ia tlega- The troops which they bad in San Leonardo fled with similar precipitation, passing by Alice during the night, and marchi ng withouthalting Velviertre, a short league y from Q u i ntanar.

" Excellent Sir,—After the glorious action of Iluerta del Rey, on the I.lth of this month, I prevented, by my movement on this point (Ontario), the union of Zariategui's faction with the Pretender's. The latter, as 1 already in formed your Excellency in my last communication, ac quainted with the result of the action referred to, fled in the direction of Quintana ; and as I calculated that Zaria tegut, after assembling his routed soldiers, would endeavour ibc Prctcrid , :r, I marched urn ,i,• I— Iht 'W.., 3 / 4 /1d 11 1.

In consequence of these move tnents I ordered General Lore:.zo to march with the second corps of the army in pursuit of Zariategui's faction, and to spare no means until he destroys it. With the' same ob ject of pursuing and completely destroying the faction 'of the rebel Prince, I have returned to this place, and shall continue my march to-morrow upon Soria, in case he should proceed in that direction ; otherwise I shall follow him wherever he goes to reap the fruits of his disordered condi tion. 6.,d preserve your Excellency, &c. - • " LIJCHANA." • Baron de MEER - has succeeded in restoring tran quillity in Barcelona. To restrain the incursions of bands of Carlists commanded by the rebel chief PA mums, the province of EstremadUra' has been. de- . clared in a state of siege. _ _ A Royal decree has been published, to the effect that all Spaniards resident abroad, who shall not take the oath of allegiance prescribed by the Constitution of 1837 within three months, shall be deprived of all rights as Spanish subjects. Such a decree is quite uncalled for, and cannot in any way tend to consoli date the power of the Constitutional Government. The whole of the Paris journals of Friday and Sa turday have been received this morning. They are almost exclusively occupied with details of the cap ture of Constantine, the official report of which we have copied from the columns of the Moniteur. The works in the Chapel of the_lnvalides for celebrating the funeral obsequies of General DAMREMONT, and the French who have fallen in Africa, have already com menced. The ceremonies will be on the same scale as those observed for the victims who perished by the fire of FIESCHI'S infernal machine. The following are extracts from the journals : The German Courier says that it is certain that Baron d'Ompteda has sent in his resignation to the King of Ha nover, because the question as to the Constitution has been decided in a manner to which a Minister who had sworn to maintain it could not concientiously accede. The States, it was supposed, would not be convoked according to the Constitution of 1833, as that would amount to an explicit acknowledgment of its force. The States, under the Con stitution of 1819, had only a consultative voice. According to a letter of the 12th inst. from Naples the King had returned that day from Calabria. The middle classes of the inhabitants of Naples had been suffering for a fortnight from a continuous bale of wind, which prevented the arrival of packets and other vesels bringing strangers, from whom they gain a great part of their living. The sanatory cordon had been withdrawn from the frontier of the Roman States, but vessels were still subject to qua rantine. _ _ _ The Munitcur Akelien gives the following of the sth inst. from Bugle :—" Three of our men having deserted, and made known to the tribes the weakness of our garrison from sickness, the Kabailcs have shown a disposition to be hostile.• They have come down in the night in the hope of surprising our sentinels and earning off cattle, and have killed a corporal and wounded a soldier. Colonel Chem boulcron, having received information that we were to be attacked on the 4th or 5,h, went to the line in front of Fort Clause!, with four companies of the 2d African Bat. talion, a detachment of the Foreign Legion, some sappers, and a howitzer. At daybreak the Arabs attacked us with vigour, and a brisk fire of musketry commenced. Three hundred horse, ‘sho had laid themselves in ambush, during the night, contrived to surround our reconnoitring party of the morning, and the cattle ; and, seeing the plain clear, made an attack on our left. An engagement ensued, and lasted half an hour, during which the Arabs had many men killed, while we had only nine wounded. The Arabs kept up their fire for nearly two hours." " It is generally known," says the Messager, " that for some time past personages of distinction in Russia have been prohibited by their Government from residing in Paris, or in any other part of France. The only exceptions made to this general rule have been in favour of a few individuals of the highest rank, and some elderly persons of both sexes who have been settled in, France since the commencement of the restoration. Some rich young men, of good fa milies, have hitherto eluded this arbitrary measure by ob taining their nominations as attaches to the embassies of Counts Pozzo di Borgo and De Pahlen ; but of this facility they are now deprived, as, by a late decree, the Emperor Nicholas has suppressed all the appointments of attaches, not only to the Russian embassy in Paris, but likewise to all the other Russian legations or embassies. This decree, according to a recent letter from St. Petersburgli, has caused great discontent against the Autocrat's Government.* LLOYD'S SIIIPPING-(THIS DAY•) DIAL, OcT. 2S.— Wind ._S. W.—Oct. 29, W.

Sir—l beg to transmit to you, for the information of the Un der-writers at Lloyd's, the inclosed notice, issued by the General Board of Customs and Trade of Copenhagen, under date of the 10th inst., from which you will observe that a Light and Noe Vessel will be stationed, towards the end of this month, off Dragoe, at the entrance of the Sound, from the Baltic, where she will remain till the 21st December, and resume her station on the Ist March each year, unless prevented by the ice ; and I have to request that all possible publicity may be given to the said notice.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your 'most obedient, humble Servant, FRANCIS C. MACGREGOR. W. Dobson, Esq., &c., London. LIGHT VESSEL OFF DRAGOE. The following notice for the information of Shipowners trading to the Baltic, has been issued by the General Board of Customs and Trade at Copenhagen, under the date of the 10th October, this year : For the greater security of the navigation through that in tricate passage called the " Grounds," between the islands of Amago and Saltholm, on entering the same from the Baltic, a light and pilot vessel will be statioded at the end of this month off Dragoe. This vessel (which has two masts, schooner rigged, and is painted with red sides and a white cross), will be moored to S. W., about 400 fathoms from the Quarters ground, in a depth of 45 fathoms, and to the S. E. (magnetic bearings) strice, eight Danish miles from Dragoe haven, and to the E. S. E. three-sixteenth miles from the Sand-reef buoy. The fire apparatus consists of nine lamps, with reverberators, placed round the after-mast, at an eleva tion of 25 Danish feet above the level of the sea. The lamps will be lighted at the same periods as the other lights on the Danish coast, viz. in the season from Michaelmas to Easter half an hour, and in the summer season from Easter to Michaelmas one hour, after sun-set, to be kept burning till sunrise. In hazy and foggy weather the_ ship's bell will be rung, continuing for ten minutes, after an interval of five minutes. A red flag will be displayed in the daytime, and in stormy weather a red jack hoisted on the vessel's foretop. Drape pilots will be stationed on board of the light vessel, fur the purpose of piloting such ships through the " Grounds" as may make the usual signals. A list of the ships which have employed pilots will be published weekly, for the infor mation of underwriters end shipowners. The light and pilot vessel will remain at her moorings until the 21st December, and she will return to her station on the Ist of March of every year, unless prevented by the ice. The crew are not allowed any intercourse with vessels passing the Sound (beyond putting pilots on board) except in cases of distress, or immediate assistance being required, when such will if possible be rendered.

The state of trade at Manchester continues very dull, both in goods and yarns, which, it is feared, ail! continue to tire end of the year. • By the Dutch mail we have accounts that the treaty of com merce arranged with the Dutch Government has been received by the British Ambassador at the Hague, which is advan tageous to both parties. It was generally expected this morning that we should have had numerous arrivals from all parts of North and South Ame rica, as well as from Lisbon ; but the New York packet of the Bth inst. has not arrived, nor the steamer from Lisbon. These arrivals are anxiously looked for by the merchants. , THE, rumps.

' Last night, about ten o'clock, two children, belong ing to a labouring man, named Michael Connell, residing at No. 30, King-street, Drury-I ._ne, were incautiously sent to bed with a lighted candle. by themselves in the garret, where they commenced playing with it, and the clothes of Mary Connell, a fine little girl about eight years of age, caught fire, and before the flames could be extinguished the whole of her body and legs were dreadfully burnt. She was taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where she now lies in a very hopeless state. Lady Howard de Walden's. departure from Lisbon is expected to take place on Monday next. Her Ladyship will pass a few days with Loid Seaford in Audleysquare, and then leave town for Welbeck Priory, the seat of the Duke of Portland. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. V.—The Sugar Market has not been brisk ; thc•prices demanded by the merchants preclude an extensive trade. What have been sold, have realised the full advance, at which ►►ll de scriptions remain stationary and very firm.—Bristol Mercury. Ou Saturday the Marylebone vestry were occupied with the discussion of the best means to be adopted, since Oxford-street is not to be paved, to obtain an equalization of the rating on the part of the other parishes in which the street is situated. Mr. Biers moved a resolution to - tho effect that Parliament be petitioned on the subject. Mr. Gibson seconded the motion, and Mr. Large opposed it, on the ground tint Parliament would not interfere, ,the ques tion being one of a pecuniary nature. Mr. Gibson wished to be added to the resolution the words " or any other sub ject which may be deemed necessary," which was agreed to by Mr. Biers. A long discussion ensued, but the motion was carried; and the vestry, after some furtnet business, adjourned. On Tuesday last, Oct. 24th, was shot by Mr. S. White, of Cam, a very fine woodcock, weighing rather m ore than 13 ounces.—Gloucester Journal. TAKiNG OF CONSTANTINE. The report informs us that proposals have been made to Achmet to treat on the samq terms as before the opening of the campaign. Yet then the breach had been effected, the General in-Chief • killed ; millions had been expended, and General Vallee required only to enter Constantine for the honour of our arms. Here the secret escapes of the dis graceful policy of the Ministry, in which the new Governor so closely unites, that it has been necessary to suppress the considerations which terminate the report of General Vallee. The Cabinet is compelled by public opinion partly to renounce this system, but the electors are warned, and ought to require from their representatives, the most formal engagements for tl.e preservation of the whole of the Re gency of Algiers. Our letters from Toulon add no particulars respecting the taking of Constantine, to those we gave yesterday ; but they confirm Clat reinforcements arc going to be sent to Bona. "Since the arrival of the last packets from Bona," say our letters, " the greatest activity is observed in the arse nals and the road. It is strongly reported that three regi ments will be embarked in a few days, one at Toulon, one at Marseilles, and one at Port Yendre, all destined for Barra. It is said that the Mare steam-boat, which arrived here yesterday, is to set out again to-day, to carry this news to Bona. 'lle 20th regiment of light infantry will be one of those that will cross the sea. It is thought these three regiments will be embarked on board the ships of the line of Lalande's squadron, and the steam-boats. The de spatches have just been sent on board the Phare. The repair of the Styx steam-boat is hastened as much as pos sible, that it may be able to depart with the other. The Crocodile has just entered the port - , but will make a very short stay. The Vautore, Chimere, and Tartare are all ready to put to sea, and wait only the telegrirp.hic despatch to know their destination."--7-Le Commerce. FRENCH FUNDS.-Psitis, Ore, 27 .

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice BosANQUET and Mr. Justice COLTMAN.) lVillinni Redshate, a rather ropectable young inan in ap pearance, was indicted with robbing Frederick Hazel', a foct mats, of a gold pin, a silk handkerchief, and 93. 61. in silver, on the 18th of Sepumber last. Mr. Jones stated the case for the prosecution. From the statements of the prosecutor, it appeared that on tl.e even-, ing of the .Atli of September, r:hile walLiz,g down Black friars road, he was accosted by the prisoner, who said that he had known the prose c utor some thee, and had often seen him in Blackfriarg-road. The prosecutor said he did net know the. prisoner, to which he again replied that he ell The prisoner then asked the proSecwor to take a glass of ale with him, which 'he consented to do after several re fusals. For this purpose they went into the Prince of WaleS public-house, where the prisoner called for ?, — pint of ale. After they had been there same time, the prisoner said he want ,-.,1 trust the pros cater asked pri,“ , sr that, did not . tuat tei; 1.1 ,\ :5, it; tttid the ! t in, 1,;-.0.1,! 4,l:nrg, i,;11 min:lowa] at the that it taa uu it eio.ar hi lifthy it, he hail chc pro:. Gt ho came exceedingly alarmed, and stated to the prisoner that he had not so much money with him ; to which the pri soner said he wanted money, and would have it, add ing, give me all the money you have got, your gold pin and silk handkerchief, which the prosecutor did, fearing that the prisoner would put,his threat into execution, and fol low him home. The prosecutor had seen the prisonn three times since the transaction, in company with another person ; and in consequence of what took place at the last interview, he gave the prisoner in charge to a policeman. He did not give him in charge on the first occasion, as he was fearful of the consequences. Thus things rested until the 12th of Oc tober, when, as the prosecutor was returning home from Fitz• roy-square, he was again accosted by the prisoner and another person, and gave them money. The prosecutor was similarly accosted by the pr:soner several times. The prosecutor was cross-examined at great length by Mr. PAYNE, on behalf of the. prisoner, but nothing was elicited from him, to shake his evidence. The Policeman, who took the prisoner into custody, stated that when he did so, the prisoner was in company with another man, named Page. When witness charged him with the offence, he \ said that Page was the man he wanted. Dianna Haines, of Little Surrey-street, Blackfriars-road, stated that the prisoner lodged in her house in the months of September and October last. He had, no employment but that which she occasionally gave him. The Policeman, on being re-called, stated that when be took the prisoner into custody, he found upon him a duplicate of a gold watch, and writing-desk, together with twenty eight shillings in silver. Mr. PAYNE addressed the Jury on behalf of the prisoner. Mr. Justice BOSANQUET summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. THE MARKETS-4THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There was a moderate supply of English Grain and Flour la4t week, and a large quantity of Oats from Ireland. The trade for good Wheat and Barley had an upward tendency, but Oats were lower. This morning there has been a small fresh supply of all kinds of Corn. The sales of Wheat to day were free, at an advance on all qualities of 2s. per quarter since this day se'nnight. Barley, if fine, is rather dearer, but the stained parcels are very difficult to sell. Beans, both old and new, maintain the terms of last Monday. Boiling Peae are again lower. Grey Pease also are somewhat declined. In the Oat trade transactions have been limited, and this article is Is. per quarter lower than Monday se'nnight. The Flour trade remains slack, but late prices are supported. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. its. 61s.

OLIVER TWIST, BY " Boz."—" In the story of " Oliver Twist,"(now in course of publication in Bentley's Miscellany,' edited by the celebrated author of " The Pick wick Papers), there is a sustained power, a range of ob servation, and a continuity of interest. The popularity of Mr. Dickens has been fairly earned without resorting to any of the means' by which most other writers have suc ceeded in attracting the attention of their contemporaries. He has flattered no popular prejudice, and profited by no passing folly ; he has attempted no caricature sketches of the manners or conversation of the aristocracy ; and there are very few political allusions in his works. 'With the ex ception of occasional extracts in the newspapers, he has received little or no assistance from the press ; het in a very short time from the appearance of Mr. Dickens as a writer, the whole reading public were talking about him. This is only to be accounted for on the supposition that a fresh vein of humour bad been opened ; that a new and de cidedly original genius had sprung up ; and the most cur sory reference to preceding English writers of the same order, will show that, in his own peculiar walk, Mr. Dickens is not simply the most distinguished, but the first. His genius is, indeed, rich, vigorous, and versatile enough to en sure him a high and enduring reputation."—Quartedy Re view for November, 1837. Mr. Gleig, _ the well-known author of " The Subaltern" and other popular historical fictions, has just produced a work called "Chelsea College and its Tradi tions." In this the annals of the hospital are traced from its foundation in the reign of Charles H., to the present day, including records of the adventures of its inmates, a s derived from the traditions of the place, or from the lips of such of the veterans as are now living. In the former three are graphic recitals of conflicts under the execrable Colonel Kirke—of the wars of the Duke of Marlborough, snd other famous Generals. And in the latter the reader is presented with reminiscences by the private soldiers of the Peninsular Campaign, the Battle of Waterloo, &c. The early part of the history of the College itself em braces some original and curious anecdotes of the Courts of Charles 11. and his successor James, in the former of which Nell Gwynn is made to figure in a new and plea sant light. FIRE.—On Saturday a fire took place in the farm yard of R. Thomas, farmer, of Culdicot, when, we regret to say, all the bay and corn was consumed. The origin of the tre is unknown, but it is supposed that it was caused by the children of Thomas, he and his wife being from home at the time.—Merlin. L 1 T FitA T URE. QUARTERLY REVIEW. No. C rig. lilurray, _London, 1 e 37. The merits of Mt. Theodore Hook - as a hurriourist are ditsussoil at sonic length in the Number befoie in an article Qll the subject of the " PicLivick papers.

There are few adventures I the " Arabian Nights" so marvellous as many °f those which befall Mr. Hook's heroes and heroinesin°s; who in this respect may be considered as the romantic writer of the day. But his characters sue . admirably delineated ; we seem to have met them 'Al . ' the other day in company, and to have been struck with those very peculiarities which their creator dev r lopes with such unrivalled gusto. Who having ob e read, can ever forget the unsophisticated country gen tleman in " Jack Brag," who supports his every re mark—no matte r h ow trite or common-place it thaY • be—by the authority of his wife " Mrs. The Reviewer observes that " Mr. Hook'ss names with in in themselves a j es t" — an assertion which appl ies w ` t e far less propriety to Hook than to Peacock, wh°s- country banking firm of " Messrs. Airbubble, shadow and and Hopthetwig," with their Secretary " William Walkoff," is worthy to vie in wit and : r f positeness of name with the " Queen Wh it ' s °, Rabelais, and is a thousand times superio r to similar designations in the " Sayings and Doing s ' Quitting Mr. Hook, the Reviewer gives a brief Pas.s . in g criticism on Sidney Smith's peculiarities tts • a wit ' and quotes the following note from his " peter P l Y ni‘ ley's Letters," which we too subjoin as a racy S p eCilnell of that broad humour in which Wolcot was so cessful and i n the " In tho third year of his present Majestv t hi r tieth of his own acre, Mr. Isaac Hawkins -Browne, then upon his travels, danced one evening at the Court of Nal)l„,' His dress was a volcano silk with lava buttons. Whether '— the Neapolitan wits said) he had studied dancing u nder . St.; Vitus,• or whether David dancing in a linen vest was b e l h model, was not known ; but Mr. Browne danced with t o f inconceivable alacrity and vigour, that he threw the Quee!' Naples into convulsions of laughter, which terminated 1 . 0 a miscarriage, and changed the dynasty of the Neapollie Throne." We are next introduced to Professor 'Wilson , the quality of whose humour is well defined , though the:s Reviewer says nothing of—what we conceive to b e It f leading feature—its unexpectedness. In the mids t 0 some essay, or eloquent description, bestrewed over tall with the rich lights of imagery, out comes a of and such a joke--it has all the, effect of a flash ° r lightning ! Those who have reed the " Noc test the " Hints for the Holidays," will at once see than we have warrant for our opinion. The following er tract is amusing : , and " Professor Wilson's fun is altogether peculiar to bilitt - 1 to th e . full as characteristic of the physical as of the intelleettl! constitution of the man, being the result of high animal sI. rits, an ever-teeming fancy, and a rude, rough, frolicsome sciousness of power. A - joke flies from him like a cork front i heated bottle of champagne, or bounds off like a ball ffon l ., - , cricket-bat in the hands of a player like himself, and is Pr e :' nearly as di ffi cult to stop. He was oae day engaged in ee meat discussion as to \the Generalship of Napoleon . and irea Duke of Wellington—' You will allow, at all events,' urg„ e his antagonist, ' that Napoleon surprised the Duke at 1 `,. 8 ; terloo ?" Aye,' exclaimed the Professor, ' but did'ot t h e Duke astonish him?' The half-angry thoroughly-.in-eariria manner with which this retort was given, made it irresisub at the moment—but things of this kind are comparatively tarn° at second-hand, and it is di ffi cult to induce his friends or f a ; roily to reproduce them. ' What on earth'—be once broke ou• in our hearing, after vainly appealing to the m emory oc ti f circle,—' what on earth is the use of a man's having ha lf- a' dozen daughters. if they won't remember his jokes ? .`:".,-, readers of the ' Noctes Ambrosianm,' however, will requ' ; '; no further illustration of his manner, and our only regreg ~; that all reference to these is already assuming a retrospect"- character— . Why slumbers Gifford ? once was ask'd in vain, Why slumbers Gifford ? let us ask again.' " ,i i The Reviewer, as we anticipated, entertai ns a I t opinion of Mr. Dickens as a htimourist, and corrobo rates an assertion which we made some mo nths si l in The Sun, that his " Oliver Twist" bids fair to be a l ot af'- Master-piece. But though we think this , we eann give up—as his critic seems disposed.to do—his ro terly sketch in the Pickwick Papers, of t h e elder Weller, which bears evidence in every lin e of ha d i been drawn from the life. We have been mud' Cl vetted by the subjoined passage which occurs la c: 7 dentally in some remarks on Mr. Dickens' first wor k : " You may hear the cad of an omnibus composedly WI; ing the driver that he is to take up' two elephants a nd a f ,br i- ti , layer,' meaning two passengers at the Elephant and L s- l e o: and the Bricklayer's Arms ; the chambermaid answers ill landlady's enquiries about the lady who arrived list !Ot t ' r'' stating that she is changed from ' twenty-seven to fiTtl- - - -11 t o the head waiter at a chop-house calls to his o su bordina teg o look sharp, because ' a boiled beef and greens' has justulaa down stairs without paying ; and the landlord o f a $",,--dies tea-garden shouts out, ' I'm blowed if there arn't two bra! and-water grtting over the pale l' " 'flak of the imagination of Wordsworth ! °else, is nothing in all Wordsworth equal to the above Pa, g If sage, Which is full fraught with characteristic itntYty, —and with imagery, too, of the most daring origiDall it, as in the picture—so marvellous apparently, 'Tette( reaiity so natural—of the two ~ brandies-and-wa ays climbing over the pales of a tea-gardens !
