In pro posing the health of Lord MELBOURNE and the rest of her MAJESTY'S liberal administration, the MAYo ft observed that before the passing of the Municipal Bill, Bury had but thirty-seven electors—now that town could boast of six hundred householders enjoying the suffrage. Lord CHARLES FITZROY declared himself an advocate for the Ballot, which he maintained would enable us to retain and preserve all that was valuable in the British Constitution, without exposing the electors to oppression for the proper exercise of the franchise. He was of opinion that the Ballot would put an end to the exercise of sinister and unjust influence, and' therefore he was most anxious to see it brought into operation. This j declaration was received with thunders of ap plause—a fact demonstrative of the rapid progress which a conviction of the necessity of the Ballot is now making throughout the Kingdom. Sir HENRY BUNBURY warmly eulogised the policy pursued by Lord MULGRAVF. in Ireland. In less than three years his Excellency had tranquilised a country which centuries of misrule had maddened beyond a hope of pacification. To render justice to Ireland was one of the most sacred obligations of the British people—an obligation which he was convinced the Reformers would afford the present Government an opportunity of amply discharging. The fest:vities of the evening were kept up till a late hour. The whole of the French Journals of Thursday rave been received, in which the subject of the new creation of Peers is generally discussed in language remarkably temperate.- As the creation embraces men of all parties, it would be absurd in the p:utizairs of any system to assume that they were peculiarly objects of either Royal approbation or aversion. The .3loniteur has an article on the expedition against Constantine. The last of the reinforcements from France are to reach Bona about the Bth inst., when it is calculated that the season will not be . too far advanced to attack the fortress of the BEY. With respect to the preparations for, and the strength of, the expedition, the Moniteur says:— " All the preparations of the artillery and engineer de partments arc in a state of perfect completeness ; the means of transport and the victualling of the army have been amply provided for. A-reserve of a fortnight's pro visions has been formed at the camp of Medjez el Hamar, and victuals for twenty days are to be taken by the army on starting for Constantine. The force now assembled for the expedition, after all invalids arc deducted, amount to 9,500 iefrury, 1,100 cavalry, besides the irregular Spahis, 1,000 ,:rtillcry, 12 niGz,lntain-howitzer , , six fiel,l-pieces, and a battering train ; to which are to b e aided 700 sappers and miners, tnakitig a total of about 13,00 j men. Ti.e whole army iu the province of' Bona and Constantine may be reckoned at 21 000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry. The troops are full of the greatest enthuziasm, and show great ' impatience to he led against the enemy." The whole force of the BEY is only estimated at 13,000 men, exclusive of 5,000 Turks, repo:ted to hare been landed at Tripoli by the C'rpitaa l'ActiA, for the purpose of rein forcin L y, the Arab arms'. As no formal communication has yet been turtle by the SUBLIME PORTE to the Court of France, con demnatory of the premeditated attack on Coltman tine, we are not disposed to cred:t the story of the Turkish reinrorcentent. Were the SHLTA N I,) inter fere by arms it appears to us that it would be as a principal not as an auxiliary—the BEY of Constar,- tine being the recognised vassal of the PORTE. That MA lIMOUD disapproves of the attack on Con stantine is well known ; and it is equally well as,- certained that Russia has repeatedly ureed hint to re sent it as a violation of the general peace and an invasion of the Ottoman territory. But this is no just reason for supposing that his Highness would have recourse to a system of intervention ; and, in fact, were the report true, it would manifest in a new and hitherto unheard-of I;glit, the baneful influence of Russian intrigue. But the whole scheme of an expedition is had re course to merely to influence the elections. A new war in Africa will awaken the enthusiasm of the French people, and rally the electoral colleges round the Go vernment candidates. Were true glory the object of Lours PHILIPPE, what a rich harvest might not him self and his sons reap in the Peninsula ! Were the expedition designed to attack Constantine to cross the Pyrenees, and drive the Carlists out of Spain, how im mense would be the debt of gratitude which liberal Europe would owe to the ORLEANS dynasty ! But barren glory—useless conquests—are to employ the French army, because the grovelling ambition of the Court is confined to the anticipation of a pernicious triumph over the liberties of the people ! The following ere extracts from the Journals of Thursday : A letter from Rome of the 21st ult. says, that columns of dragoons have been sent into the Campagna to enforce the orders of Government, and to prevent travellers from being impeded. Numerous prisoners have been made of persons who have persisted in obstructing a free passage along the roads. The inhabitants of Foligno and Swoleto have had the terrors of an earthquake added to their dread of the cholera. On the 20th, thirty-two new cases of cho lera and seventeen deaths had occurred in the capital. 'We learn from Frankfort, 29th tilt, that the city is to receive a garrison of 800 Federal troops. The Legislative Assembly will meet early in November, and among other important measures will have to name a special director of police, to execute functions which have hitherto been en trusted to a Member of the Senate. A letter from Constantinople, .of the 14th ult., states that a firman has been issued to the Capudan Paella to re turn with the Turkish squadron to that port. The Czar had left Wosnosensk for Sebastopol, in company with the Archduke John of Austria, who intended to accompany him into Asia, as far as Mount Ararat. The French Government have sent an agent into Per sia, it is said, with a view to protect the interests of their commercial citizens who are resident in that country. The gentleman chosen for this purpose is M. Barrachin, who for 10 or 12 years has been in Persia. According to the last accounts from the camp of Hafiz Pacha, dated Mount Taurus, August 28, it appears that he had gained a series of victories over the Curds, and com pletely reduced those insurgent tribes. A steamer, which arrived in ten days front Trebizond, had brought intelligence of the march of the Schah of Persia against Herat. All the British officers had abandoned his service, on being in formed of his intentions. The English Envoy, Mr. 11 , 1'Neil, had declared to the Schah that the Prince of Herat being the ally of Great Britain, his advance on thtt country would be the signal far all the English officers of his army to quit the service of Persia. This expedition was consi dered a mad undertaking, which might cost the Schah both his throne and life. The Constitutionnel gives a letter of the 27th ult. from Logrono, which, after stating the junction of Don Carlos with Zaratieigui, halfway between Aranda del Duero and Siguenza, and the retreat of both towards the mountains, announces that Baron Carondelet had ordered his cavalry, supported by four battalions of infantry, to take the direc tion of Abeja, and to harrass the enemy, at the same time picking up the Carlist marauders. The Baron hirnself was waiting for General Lorenzo's reinforcements, which were at Medina-Rio-Seto, and also for orders from Espartero, who being likewise in pursuit of Don Carlos, might require the co-operation of' Carondelet's fresh troops. After the engagement at Valladolid, the Queen's troops seized and sent to Burgos 120 horses, which had been taken from the inhabitants by the Carlist General Ulibarri, who had marched from Burgos upon San Leonardo, had been compelled to take the direction of Calahorra and Asmede, to approach the Ebro, the Carlist Chiefs, Guergue and Uranga, being letermined to pass from Navarre into Castile. Genera! Oraa, who is stated to he at Teruel, had cut off from the corps of Don Carlos that of Cabrera, who was on his left, and who was endeavouring to takNrefuge at Canta‘ieja. Upwards of 1..000 Carlist prisoners and deserters were Oraa. All the disposable forces of Saragossa had marched in pursuit of the Carlists. A letter of the 26th ult., from Madrid, published in the Constitittioue/, states that on the previous evening 197 Car lists, mostly Navarrese, taken prisoners in the engagement of the 19th, had entered the capital in a most pitiable state, and under the escort of a squadron of national militia. In the sitting of the Certes on tha 2,5',11, after a liscafe..,:ea on the proposition of M. Vila, relative to the engagements existing between the Government and the commercial house of Guardamino, the debate was continued on the Liberty of the Press Bill, but the Chamber not being in number, the articles 11 and 12 were not put to the vote. The Chamber was expected in the sitting of the 27th to commence the discussion of a proposition denouncing as unconstitutional several acts committed or sanctioned by M. Pizarro, the Finance Minister. In the sitting the 2lst the Minister had obtained from the Chamber a vote of absolu tion on a similar accusation, but a new proposition to the same effect had been submitted on the 24th, and referred to a Committee, the report of which is published in the illadrid Gazette. This document, which is extremely hostile to M. Pizarro, expresses the opinion of the committee that he can no longer continue in office without serious detriment to the public interests, and that the order given by him on the 2d of September for the appropriation of certain Treasury Bonds to the use of the army was most unconstitutional, unjust, and injurious to the rights of property and the national credit. In a subsequent sitting, as our readers will have perceived by the telegraphic despatch above quoted, the report of the Committee was adopted by a large majority. SARAGOSSA, SEPT. 23.—The Commander-in-Chief of the column of operations of La Ribere, Don Felipe Fer nandez, writes from Atnbel that the Carlist Chief Cabrero, with his band, has gone in the direction of Tabuenga, doubtless to march to Arcanda de Duero. On abandon ing the fortress of Anor he left behind 100 muskets, some hundred pairs of shoes, and other effects, which have been distributed among the National Guards. We learn that the faction has taken Illueca, and then gone to El Fran :o ; it is also affirmed that most the Navarrese who followed Cabrero deserted as soon as they arrived at Moncayo, and rresented themselves to the authority of the Queen. • According to the accounts sent by the Governor of Ca latayud, Cabrero was yesterday evening at Villaroyu ; he seems to be marching to Atica and Arega. The detach ments of Carlist deserters and stragglers are already very numerous in Lower Arragon. The Military Governors of D iroca, Modinp, and Carinera were in pursuit of them.— Private Correspondence of the Constitutionnel. A letter from Malta of the 18th Sept. says : " In the night of the 7th, (between one and twn o'clock in the morning of the Bth) ee- had in this island a dread ful tempest, with wind, rain, and lightning, and very vio lent claps of thunder. It came from the west, and con tinued only one hour, but its violence was such that the of lest inhabitants do not remember such a one. We have ILA learned that any accident occurred on shore, except that almost ail the windows in the island were broken, and flew in shivers in all directions. The tempest re-commenced on the following morning ; the wind was not so violent, but there wet e torrents of rain and lightning. The church of the " Souls in Purgatory " at La Valetta was stiuck with lightning, and the large glass chandelier suspended from the ceiling by an iron chain, was loosened and fell amidst crowds of people, who were attending Divine ser vice, but happily nobody was hurt. One of the sides of the ve,try was thrown down, as well as 8 or 10 brick pillars 10 feet high, which were I.rokea to pieces in an instant fiening only a heap of rubbish."—Journal des Debuts. riIENCII FONDS CeT 5 live pe: Cetus., 111.

Spanish Passives We direct the attention of the benevolent to the fol lowing observations on the Shipwrecked and Distressed Sailor,' Asylum, which we have much p!easure in ex tracting from the column.t of a Morning Contemporary. So strong an appeal to the best feelings of the British public cannot be made in vain. The distressed sailors have peculiarly great claims upon the gen.:roue sym pathies of a nation so commercial as England ; inde pendently of which, be it always remembered that '' he that giveth to the poor, lendeth to the LORD " "This excellent institution will, in all prob.thility, be shortly called upon, as the winter approaches, for a rene,,val of its humane and charitable exertions ; and it will, no doubt, be satisfactory to the public to know in what manner their contributions have been already rpdlied. The institution has a two-fold object—First, to afford a place of refuge to all shipwrecked and distressed seamen, and to supply cloth ing to such as may have been wrecked and lost their all, taking due care that such men shall remain in the establisl:- ment no longer than absolutely necessary. Second,-to af ford lodging, free of expense, to seamen who, on their arri val, bring their chest and bedding to the As 3 lum, and pre fer such accommodation to the haunts of vice and plunder which await them on their arrival in port. For this indul gence the only payment required is a trifling sum for fuel and the use of cooking utensils, as such men must board themselves. It appears that since the first of July, 1836, 7,639 meals and 3,541 nights' lodgings have been granted, at an expense of 2461.25. Ild., and since November, 1829, 39,336 nights' lodgings have been granted. As the expen diture 'has been 2461. 2s. 11d., the average cost of each meal is 7d. In this sum is included every expense of the institution, the vouchers for which are submitted to a quar terly meeting . of the subscribers. There is a chapel attached to the Asylum. Sittings are also secured for the inmates in Trinity Chapel, Cannon-street-road, in connection with the Church of England, where they regularly attend morn ing and evening on the Sabbath-day. The Asylum is capable of lodging 150 men nightly, and it might be rendered still more commodious. The Committee feel anxious to enlarge the building (formerly an old cooperage, and much out of repair), by erecting a pay-office, savings' bank, and other additions. For this purpose, however, extended means must be obtained ; and we trust that the real usefulness of the charity, and the economy with which it is administered, will induce such exertions on its behalf that funds will not long be wanted." DEATH BY FlRE.—Last night, about 8 o'clock, Mary Seale, a widow, residing at 13, Byfield-mews, Tot tenham-court-road, having occasion to go out, left her child, aged three years, locked in the room. During her absence, the neighbours being alarmed by the smell of fire, and screaming of the child, burst open the door, and found her completely enveloped in flames, which they soon extin guished. Mr. Thomas, surgeon, promptly attended, but the little sufferer expired in less than an hour. It appears she went too close to the fire, and the flames caught her clothes. The mother is in a state bordering on distraction. DEATH OF SIR PATRICK WALKER.—We re gret to state that this gentleman, her Majesty's Heritable Chief Usher of the White Rod for Scotland, died on Tuesday evening, at his house, Drumsheugh, after a short but painful illness. Sir Patrick having for many years taken an active interest in all matters of local improvement, his demise will in many respects be a public loss. In private life he was warm-hearted, and ever ready to oblige, and his friendships were sincere and lasting. The Hon. Knight was unmarried.—Edinbur g h Courant. A child belonging to Mr. G. Buckhurst, butcher, Sheerness, cut one of its fingers on Saturday evening last, and in consequence thereof died on the following morning. An Inquest was held on the body on Tuesday, and a ver dict returned—" Died through involuntary bleeding." Thursday morning about half-past eight o'clock, as William Lock, the proprietor and driver of a cab, sas pro c2eding in his vehicle at a brisk trot along Fenchureh-street, oile of the wheels came in contact with that of a heavy cart, whereby the cab was overturned, and the driver thrown on the stones with great violence. The unfortunate man was taken up in a state of insensibility, and removed to St. Bar tholomew's Hospital, where it was ascertained that he had broken his collar bone and fractured several of his ribs. FALMOUTH, OcT.4.—The Reindeer packet, Lieut. Dickens, arrived here this morning from St. Thomas's, whence she sailed on the 4th of September ; and the Ale; t packet, Lieut. Norrington, from the Brazils, having sailed from Rio on the 17th, Bahia on the 27th of August, and Pernambuco on the 4th of September ; the former with the small freight of about five thousand pounds, and the latte r with specie to the amount of eighty-seven or eighty clgiit thousand pounds, besides thirty-three passengers. She is n o t th e h earer of anything new or interesting beyond the last accounts received fronf those quarters. At St. Tho mas's, Barbadoes, St. Kitt's, &c., the inhabitants were still much occupied in repairing the losses occasioned by the late hurricanes, which appear to have caused more damage to the shipping and sea-side property than to the crops and pus ..;essious on shore. In Rio de Janeiro matters were pro gressing much as usual. Trade rather inanimate. Ex u hai:ge :29: 1 ,, and Stock 83. YARMOUTH, OCT. 4.—The catch of herrings this arch: has been immense. It is estimated that not less than Hio lasts were hauled on our beach on Tuesday. Such a I,asv, j:)yous, animated scene has not occurred there for many years ; and to those who had an Opportunity to wit ness the sight it was gratifying in the extreme.

LONDON : SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, IS3 As the time fixed for the meeting of the first Parlia ment under the new reign approaches, the organs of that faction, whose principles every good and loyal man detests, exhibit more clearly the symptoms of those uneasy forebodings which must necessarily occupy the minds of men situated as they are. The new reign, in spite of their hypocritical endeavours to put a bold face upon the matter, they know and feel to be a new order of things. They are fully and keenly alive to the mor tifying fact, that the hand of Providence has deprived them of the onlypeg on which they could hang a hive, o r the shadow of a hope, of wriggling themselves into office —the favour of the Court. In the education of the QUEEN lies a stumbling-block, which they can neither remove nor surmount. That this education has been effectually conducted—that it has not been like water spilt upon the ground, as education too often is, but has had the effect of fixing in the Royal mind principle s which never can harmonize with Toryism —they have had proofs many and melancholy —too many to leave a doubt on their minds, and too melancholy to leave a smile on their faces. They find, in short, the avenues to power barred against them both by the SOVEREIGN and the people. This being.the happy predicament in which the party are placed at the present moment, can we be surprised that it has rendered •a set of men, who hare at all times spurned the controul of principle, furious, and even desperate ? Thor attempt to unseat the Liberal Members of Ireland by an indiscriminate attack upon their purses, and those of their constituents, through the medium of election petitions to the House of Commons is, with- out exception, the most barefaced defiance of constitu tional principle that the annals of party record. We have no chance, say these profligates, in the fair and open field of political contest with our opponents: we must therefore have recourse to the assistance of a general subscription to deprive of their seats, by means of expensive litigation, those representativ.es whom the suffrages of the people have returned to Parliament. Nor is this an after-thought, as some may suppose. The organs of the party had the folly, as well as the impudence, to proclaim this infamous plan of operation before the elections commenced I And what has been the result ? How have these infernal tactics succeeded ? Look at the list of the sub- scriptions published in the columns of the Great Apos tate. We see evidence there of a complete failure, after all the labours of the whole scribbling gang in the pay of the Tories for more than a mouth. The Journalist who has taken the lead in this crusade against the rights of the Irish people, as well as against the principle s of justice and good faith, declares to (lay that they " are in want of fifty-times five such lists !" This is the proper reward of such baseness. We are indebted to the kindness of the conductor of that spirited and patriotic paper the Siff)lk Chro;ricle, f,r zl report of the speeches deliver ,td at the great Reform dinner at Bury St. Edmunds yesterday, which ap peared last night in a second edition of that Jour nal. Owing to the limitation of our space, we cannot give the report before Monday ; and now re fer, to it, rather to account for the delay, than to make more than a passing., general albt , ion to time object of the meeting, and. the purport of the speeches delivered at it. The dinner was given by the Refor mers to Lord CITA RI,ES FITZROY, the Liberal" re preNentative of Bury, and was attended by upwards of five hundred gentlemen, including the noble guest, Earl EUSTON, Sir HENRY BL'NBURY, the Hon. Mr. PETRE, and most of the infltiential Re forme►s of the Western div:sion of Suffolk ~.. 91% `. - ..6 15 PRICES OF HUSH STOCKS, DUBLIN, OC ['OBER 5 3 ,n.r Cent.

The demand continues very languid, and the market flat, sales being effected in Egyptian and Brazil at a decline f 1.1., and in American, of qualities below fair, at id. per lb. la India there is not any change of moment. Sea Island is held with mare firmness, and selling at very full prices. Speculators have taken 750 bales American, and exporters 250 American, '2OO Surat, and 120 Madras. The sales to-day arc only 1.500 bags of all kinds. Between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock on Thursday night, as a y o ut h name d Marshall, a paper stainer's apprentice, was crossing the Curtain -road on his way home to his parents, he was run against by one of the Homerton omnibuses, and the pole striking him with tre mendous force on the side of the head, knocked him down underneath the horses' feet, and the fore and hind wheels passed over his body. He was directly conveyed to St. 'Bartholomew's Hospital, iund on being placed in one of the wards, sighed heavily once or twice, and expired. CHELTENHAM, OCT. s.—The following include the latest arrivals :—The Earl of Dueie, Lord and Lady Dufferin, Countess of Camperdown, Lord Andover, Count Metaxa, Hon.

Mrs. Thornbury, Captain Pettatt, Hon. Mr. Trencher, Major Hawkes, Col. and Mrs. Pittman, Col. Alston, Cul. Graham, &c. We are glad to find that our remarks on Mr. Tur ner's speech last week, have drawn from him an explanatory letter, which we have no doubt will be quite satisfactory to the whole of his liberal supporters. We never had any doubts of the honourable gentleman's intention honestly to support the policy of the Melbourne Cabinet, but as the passage on which we more particularly animadverted was in our opinion liable to be misunderstood, we were anxious that a meaning should not be attached to it which we were persuad e d it was never intended to convey. Mistake is now impossible. Mr. Turner, without giving an opinion of measures which he has not had an opportunity of ex amining, avows himself a supporter of Ministers " so far as their policy has yet been developed."—West Briton. ADhLPHI THEATRE.-Last night, after the eighth representatio n of Rory O'lliore, and of the more serious drama of The Pocket Book, Mrs. Yates made her second appearanc e in The Actress of All Work—a trifle of slight yet pleasant construction, not less calculated to excite the surprise of the audience than to elicit its applause in behalf of the fair performer, whose versatility of talent it is prin. cipally intended to display. The heroine of this trifle, Maria (Mrs. Yates), is the beloved of Frederick (Mr. Sa ville), the son of the Manager (Mr. Cullenford), who is at first opposed to the match on the score of her total inapti tude to the stage, but who subsequently relents, and finally agrees to their union, on finding, as he does by her persona. tion of totally dissimilar characters, that she is not an ac tress only, but a company. The parts 'personated are Bridgett, a country gawky ; Flourish, a first-rate London actress, her cousin ; Goody Stubbins, a deaf amorous old lady, Bridget's grand -aunt ; Lounge, a literary fop, in triguing with Bridget, betrothed to Flourish ; and Mdlle. Josephine, an opera singer from Paris. In the whole of these personations Mrs. Yates exhibited very considerable talent, and her performance was th r ou g hout received with very general approbation. The house was crowded in every part. The body of the gentleman drowned from a bathing machine at Ramsgate (son of Mr. H. Kingsley, Camberwell-grove) was picked up on Thursday by some Dearboatmen, near Sandwich Flats, and brought in here to his disconsolate parent, who offered 101. for the recovery of his body, but it was in such a mutilated state as scarcely to be recognized ; it was deposited in the bathing establishment, waiting interment, and the arrival of more of his friends. Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'clock, a labouring man, named Holmes, while working on board of the London Trader, lying just below bridge, advanced too near to the handle of a winch that was revolving with great rapidity, and was struck underneath the chin by it with such force that he was twisted off the deck and thrown to the distance of' between three and four yards. His jaw bones were shattered in a most dreadful manner, and the flesh of the lower part of the face torn to a considerabl e extent. He was removed to St. Thomas's Hospital, and remains in a precarious state. Anaccident, ending fatally, has lately occurred to the coachman of the Rev. Robert Corry, rector of Tarrant Hinton, near Blandford. He was riding one of his master's horses, when it suddenly fell, and the unfortunate man was dragged some distance under the horse. His left leg being in clue contact with the ground, was dreadfully injured im mediately a bove the knee-cap ; and although the wound went on favourably from day to day, Mr. Daniell, the sur geon, was from the first apprehensive that the case would terminate in locked jaw —a result which unhappily took place nine days after the accident. The poor man suffered dreadfully from spasms of the muscles of the back, which produced violent con% ulsions, of which he died just one fort- night from the time of the accident. Persons cannot be too careful, however slight the wound may he, if laceration has taken place, to procure immediate advice.—Sherborne Journal. TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. SlR,—The Committee appointed at the public meeting held at the Freemasons' Hall on the 29th of May, to pro mote the free access of the people to all public edifices con taining works of art, are happy to find that an example has already been set by the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral of Norwich. The following order is highly satisfactory, and deserves emulation from every Chapter in the kingdom : " Ordered—That the Cathedral be opened to the public for one hour each day (except Sunday), in addition to the usual hours of service, and that the subsacrists be ordered to attend in turn to preserve order, for which they be paid in addition to their salaries." Norwich is known as the first provincial city distinguished by the establishment of a Society of Artists : its exhibi tions commenced in the year 1805, and an academy, with a considerable number of casts from statues and vases, has been since added. It. has produced many talented artists ; and it is pleasing to find that after they leave their native town for the metropolis, a spirit of liberality and a taste in art remain, and it may be hoped that as its annual exhibition was followed by others throughout the country, the example of its Dean and Chapter may spread wherever there is a Cathe dral that deserves admiration, or a monument in commemo ration of virtue and greatness ; that the inhabitants of our towns may at least have a choice in the hours of recreation between the haunts of idleness And dissipation, and the re• positories of national honour ; for there can be little doubt that before any considerable lapse of time has supervened, the decorous behaviour and moral improvement of the working classes may lead to a further extension of liberality, and that their admission to the Cathedrals on Sunday afternoon may be considered highly conducive to re ligion, as it would be an efficient corrector of debased habits. The report of the speeches at the public meeting just published and circulated by the Committee, is well calcu lated to throw light on this very important subject, from the varied liberal opinions of so many speakers of every shade of political opinion who are agreed upon this, how ever different on other subjects. I remain, Sir, your very obedient, G. FOGGO, Hon. Sec. to the Committee. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY ACCOMMODATION BILLS. Charles Lloyd, a messenger in the Customs, applied on his petition to be discharged. The insolvent, who was not opposed, was supported by Mr. COOKE. The case exhi bited one of those scenes which so often take place in. the Court, of the evil results arising from accommodation bills. . The insolvent, whom it appeared had suffered greatly from indisposition, and had been the inmate of the infirmary in Whitecross-street prison during the greater part of his in carceration, was arrested upon a Bill of Exchange that he had accepted for the accommodation of a friend. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER observed 'that no man de served pity who made himself liable as the insolvent had done, to oblige a friend. No person had a right to accept a bill without be could take it up. He was sorry, however, to say that the practice was carried to a most frightful ex tent, and had been productive of the greatest mischief. The Insolvent said that the friend for whom he had ac cepted the Bill, was labouring under severe illness at the time. Mr. CooKE told the insolvent that that was no excuse. No party had a right to raise money upon bills which he could not afterwards take up—the Court always set its face against such transactions. The insolvent was ordered to be discharged. It ap peared that he had a salary of only 651. a-year, and had been, according to the orders of the Commissioners, sus pended from his situation. The accommodation bill system is carried on to so great an extent as loudly to call for some legislative enactment to put an end to it. There can be no doubt that one third of time insolvencies that take place are attributable to so pernicious a system. The Duke of Richmond, accompanied by the Earl of March, left. Gordon Castle on Monday last, to visit IA estates in the Highlands. Among other parts of his pro, perty which he has not yet seen, his Grace will, on this oc, casion, visit the famed solitudes of Glen Avon, perhaps the wildest and most secluded spot in Great Britain, with the peaks of Cairngorm and Ben Mac-Dhuie, towering so high above, that, in winter, the sun never shines on the bosom of the Lake. The Duke, it is believed, will entertain his Highland tenants in Glenlivat at dinner before returning to the Lowlands, and will take this opportunity of presen ting his son, the Earl of March, to them in the garb which they love best—the dress of a young Highland chief.— Elgin Paper. The remains of the Dowager Countess of Guild ford were removed from Highclere, the seat of the Earl of Carnarvon, on Monday last, to Wroxton Abbey, and deposited on Tuesday evening in the family vault at Wrox ton. The body was followed by Colonel and Lady Susan Doyle, the Marquis of Bute, Earl and Countess of Car narvOn, Earl of Sheffield, Lord and Lady Francis Sandon, Lord Willoughby de Broke, Miss Balvaird, Mr. Percy Doyle and tenantry. The funeral service was performed by the Venerable Archdeacon Norris. Lord Vernon has succeeded to vast estates in Che shire and Lancashire by the demise of his mother, the Dowager Lady Warren Vernon, of Poynton Hall, near Cheshire. Her Ladyship only survived her Lord two years, his Lordship havied died on board his yacht, the Harlequin, off Gibraltar, in 1835. Mr. Arkwright and Mr. Pemberton have bought houses in Eaton-place, for their town residences, and Lord Gardner one in Eaton-square. Prince and Princess Von Gagarin and family ar rived at Harris's, Mersey Hotel, at Liverpool, on Monday last, and thence proceeded, accompanied by Mr. Wil loughby, of Buckenhead, to Chester, and expressed him itslf much gratified with his visit to that-ancient city. His - Highness, after making a tour of the principal towns in the north, will return to the London Hotel about the 18th inst. Woburn Abbey, one of the great show houses of the kingdom, was viewed by the Prince and Princess on their way to the North. The funeral of the late Lord Templemore took p'ace on Tuesday last, the 3d inst., at the parish church of Sunbridge, Kent. The service was performed by the Rev. Dr. D'Oyley, the Rector, and was attended by the relatives and friends of the deceased : His Lordship's two eldest sons, the Marquis of Anglesey, the Earl of Ux bridge, Sir Arthur Paget, Sir Edward Paget, the Hon. Berkeley Paget, the Marquis C on y ng h am , th e H on : G eo . Byng, David Baillie, Esq. ; James Kibblethwaite, Esq., &c. Lord and Lady Ernest Bruce have arrived at Bu chanan Castle, Dumbartonshire, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Montrose, where a numerous circle has as sembled. By the will of the deceased poet, the late Sir Eger. ton Brydges, Bart., the copyright of all his works, is be. queathed to his second son, the Rev. A. E. Brydges, M.A. The Journal de Paris states that the marriage of the Princess Marie with Prince Alexander of Wurtemberg will be celebrated at St. Cloud, upon which occasion bril liant entertainments will be given at Court. - A general meeting of the Refdrmers residing in the Crediton registration district, North Devon, was held in the new market-house on Tuesday last, for the purpose of forming a Reform Association. It was numerously and respectably attended. Sir H. P. Davie, Bart., was unani mously called to the Chair. The formation of the Asso ciation was decided. Sir H. Davie was elected President, and J. Sillifant, jun., Esq., Vice-President. A Committee of Management for attending to the registration, and for the general objects of the Association, was also formed, and members appointed to attend the central meetings at South Melton. We have to announce the death .of another book seller—Mr. Fenn, of Charing-cross —a name well known to those who have interested themselves in the parcichial re forms of the metropolitan parishes. His undaunted per severance at a great pecuniary sacrifice in resisting, and at last destroying, the usurpation of a self-elected select vestry has been followed by those beneficial results he always con tended would follow ; namely, a very large reduction in every branch of the expenditure of his parish, and conse quently a great diminution of parochial taxation. His memory cannot fail to be held in very high and very de served respect by his fellow parishioners of St. Martin, for the important services he has rendered them. A handsome Gothic monument has just been erected in the little village of Laverstock, near Salisbury, to the memory. of the late Sir James Burrough. The monument bears the following inscription in old English characters :—" In memory of Sir James Burrough, Knight, late of this parish, and of Bedford-square, in the county of Middlesex. He studied the law with industry, and pra c ti se d it f or man y years w i t h suc h integrity, ability, and suczess, tint he was created in 1816 one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. In 1828, he retired from that office to a private life, and enjoyments arising from benevolence, charity, and a cheerful temper, increased by the attentions of his family and friends, and died on the 25th of March, 1837, in the 88th year of his age. His remains were deposited in the vault of the Temple Church, London. Tnis tablet was erected by Anne Burrough, his only surviving child. We beg to draw the attention of our readers to a work, the first number of which Mr. Bentley has issued this morning—Thiers's celebrated " History of the French Revolution.' The engravings (judging from that which accompanies this first number) will indeed be exquisite : they will present to us all the great events o f th at memora ble epoch. Th e publication cannot fail to be universally acceptable, on account of its elegance and its cheapness. erre LTT.FRATUTtE THE BOOK OF GEMS. Whittaker, London, 1837. This splendid work, of which the present forms the third volume, is now, we suppose, completed.

A s a spec i me n of Wils on too, we sh ou ld h ave expecte d to h a ve met with the addr ess to " t h e Wild D eer ," f or it is the most characteristic and spirited of all his coraP . °: sitions i n verse .

But these are mere matters of taste, consequently n ot to be in sisted on. O n t h e who l e, Mr. Hall has executed a_ difficult, and w e may a dd, a d e li cate tas k , w i t h infinite skill and judgment. Nothing can be more felicitous than his s e l ect i ons from Campbell, Leigh Hunt, Barry Cornwall, Alf re d T ennyson, Croly, and Mrs. H e " mans. In his Memoirs, which contain much discreet criticism, we find little or nothing to object to, excePtf , perhaps, th at h e i s rat h er too severe on Byron and Peter Pindar. Neither of them were so malignant as he seems to imagine they were. The former was throughout life the,slave of impulse—which no really malignant man is or ever can be ; and as for the latter, what other was he than a broad, laughing humourist ? As for the " obscurity" of which Mr. Hall speaks, Peter's Razor Grinder, and portions of his " Lou siad," will be remembered as long as a taste for " merry malice" exists among us. In the " M e " moir of Lamb," we are told that he " died at his residence in Islington." This is a slip. Il e died at Edmonton. We are assured also that his " John Woodvil will almost bear comparison with t he , happiest efforts of our d ramat i sts , i n t h e hi g h and palmy days of the drama." This is pure fudge ---3 surrender of judgment to the prejudices of coterie. John Woodvil has scarcely one dramatic requisite- - o e character—no incident—and but one solitary poetic passage, descriptive of forest sports. It is as a critic , and subtle, witty essayist, that Lamb will be remelt . '" tiered. As a poet, lie is defunct already. The fol lowing criticism on Professor Wilson is well done :-- " The Professor's contributions to Blackwood's Maga zine, which are too strongly marked to leave any doubt . of their auth ors hi p , h ave esta b l i shed for him a high and endur ing, reputation. The conduct of this periodical is so 'Ai' versally understood to be in his hands, that we may consider ourselves justified in describing him as its editor. He ha ; I long upheld its supremacy ; the best supported Magazme s have failed in competing with it ; because there is no living writer whose talents are so versatile. His learning i s both profound and excursive ; his criticism searching and sound ; his.description s of scenery exquisitely true • his painting' of hum an c h aracter and passion admirable' ; his wit at d humour d e li g h t f u l, w h en it does not degenerate into "fun ;' and no writer of modern times has written so many eloquent passages. The mind of Wilson is a remarkable blending of the kindly with the bitter ; his praise is full and hearty, his censure almost unendurable. To us, among all the grea t men we have ever beheld—and they have not been few- - there is no one who so thoroughly extorts a mingled sensa tion of love and fear." In criticising Crabbe, IV.Ir. Hall says "He has neither eye nor ear for the beautiful sig hts spa delicious soun d s o f i nan i mate nature. To him the breae is ever harsh and unmusical ; seldom moving except to pro duce wrecks ; and hill, stream, and valley are barren, muddy, and unprofitable. The consequence has been that Crabbe never was a popular poet. Yet the rough energy of his descriptions, the vigorous and manly style of his ver sification, and his stern maxims of morality—with a little more of a kindly leaning towards humanity—must have se cured for him universal admiration." • This is true in the main • but the first part of the paragraph is overdone. The embellishments to the ... '' Book of Gems" are numerous, and of the most ex- quisite character. Indeed, it is by far the most splendid work of the season. THIERS'S HISTORY OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. Bentley, London, 1837. A 'translation of M. Thiers's History is a work that has been long wanted. It is unquestionably the best that has yet appeared on the subject of the French Revolution, being shrewd, dispassionate, and scrupu lously accurate in its details ; and, above all, free from those subtle metaphysical speculations, in which M. Mignet is so constantly indulging. We are glad, therefore, to see this translation, which' so far as we can judge—for the present is only the opening portion of th e wor k — i s ably rendered ; and has the additional advantage of being copiously illustrated with notes, and anecdotal reminiscence s illustrative of the private and public .characters of the early leaders of the Revolution. We are all of us intimate with the names of Mirabeau, Dan' ton, Egalite, Robespierre, Marat, &c., but few of us know anything about their private characters; and the present work will—as we understand from the preface —attempt to supply this deficiency. The number be fore us contains a brief, biographical sketch of t he celebrated Mirabeau, and of the Duke of Orleans , whose memorable vote for the death of the King, h is relative, occasioned, it may be remembered, a shudd er even among the blood-thirsty adherents of the M l tain. It con t a i ns a l so an Introduction in which the,_ various se con d ary causes t h at helped to prec i p i tate the Larful struggle are slightly glanced at; and is ere be r t s t r iki ng lished with a engravng descriptive of the mu der of the Deputy Feraud.' We trust in the future parts ____each of which, it seems, is to contain at least one plate—that we shall be presented with portraits .t of th e mos t em i nent l eaders of the Gironde a nd the Mountain. If th us recommended, we will not permitper ourselves to d ou b t f or an instant of the success o f this the French translation, f or t h e materials for illustration are I) abun dant.

Yesterday, about a quarter before one o'clock, a dreadful accident occurred in Regent-street to Lady Mary Copthall, wife of Sir William Copthall. It appears that her Ladyship was crossing Regent -street at a hurried pace, to avoid a light cart that was approaching her, in doing which, from the slippery state of the carriage road. her feet slipped beneath her, and she fell at the moment a cab was preceeding at a quick rate ; unfortunately the wheel ran over her ladyship's chest, the cab driver having no possible opportunity of pulling up, or even seeing her coming in a contrary direction. She was immediately con veyed in a coach to her residence in Upper Baker street. The injuries, it is hoped, are not of an tdarva ing description.
