SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL' S-YESTIIRDA Y. So many noblemen and gentlemen are availing themselves of the short space intervening between the Newmarket races and the meeting of Parliament, in pursuing the sports of the field at their country seats, and the room was thinly peopled, and the betting very flat. A rumour has been set afloat that Lord Jersey's Cobweb colt is amiss, and as much as 12 to 1 is said to have been offered against him ; what his real price is we cannot state. No change will be found in the odds quoted below : THE DERBY. 9 to 1 agst Mr. J. Day's D'Egville—take 10 to 1 16 to I agst Mr. E. Peel's The Early Bird 16 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Grey Momus 17 to I agst Mr. Coombes's Cobham 20 to I agst Sir J. Mills's Volunteer 3000 to 45 agst Sir G.

To prevent mistakes it is proper to state that the odds quoted in the above and other races are the highest offered at the clo§e, unless specified to the contrary, and that without a stipulation to the opposite all bets made at Tattersalre are looked upon as play or pay. MANCHESTER.—I arD4Y EPENING. The result of the race for the Criterion Stakes, ran at New market on Monday (being in favour of D'Egville, a leading favourite for the Derby), has furnished the bettings with a leador. He ranks now decidedly premier; but until the return of several of our influential speculators from the south, and from the Derbyshire hills, uo definite business can be expected. D'Egville, since Mundig's race, has been touched upon at 8 to 1, but afterwards offered. Mr. Armitage's quit still gains friends. The following are as near the market prices as it is possible to give : THE DERBY. 17 to 2 agst Mr. J. Day's D'Egville—taken 9 to 1 apt Lord Jersey's Cobweb colt 16 to 1 agst Mr. E.

The Cheltenham Stag Hounds had another splendid day on Friday last. They met at Square Ditch Turnpike, in a field near which the deer was enlarged at eleven o'clock, and re ceiving a quarter of an hour's law the hounds were then laid on. He went away in glorious style in the direction of Sal perton, and then towards Farmington, but made a turn for Northlcach, where he was taken, after a tremendous run of more than an hour, and that too almost without a check. As on each of the former occasions the stag shirked the covers, and kept to the open country ; and it was perfectly beautiful in the large fields over whizl► he flew to see his pursuers, sometimes twenty abreast, topping the walls in the most gal gallant fashion imaginable. There was an unusually nume rous field of sportsmen, including all the crack riders of the neighbourhood. The Hounds will meet again on Friday. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVIIIMBER 7, 18.37. COURSING, The Manchester Club met at Chatsworth on Wednesday. The leading stakes were won by Mr. Bennett's red dog Ranger ; his Violet ran up. Mr. Moss won the puppy Stakes with ['rickey, and Mr. Allen (of Manchester) carried off the Chatsworth stakes with his white dog Long Tail. PASCAL BRUNO, EDITED BY THEODORE HOOK, ESQ.—In alluding to this very popular story, the Atheneum observes :—" How far Mr. Hook's editorial cares have ex tended over this volume it is impossible for us to guess ; be deserves, however, the thanks of all readers of romance for introducing to the English public this capital tale of sur prise and adventure. The life, capture and death of Pascal Bruno make up an excellent story of its class—one which, we imagine, will not be long ere it passes(if it has not already passed) into the hands of the melo-dramatist and the pro perty. man." Unquestionably a rich theatrical treat may be expected from the highly dramatic incidents and situations with which this exciting story abounds. At the Commission Court, Dublin, on Monday, a woman named Bridget M'Cullagli was indicted for poison ing a fellow -servant,- who, she suspected, had informed her mistress of her depraved conduct in admitting men into the house. The butler had also partaken of the poison, but recovered. The jury, after being in deliberation three hours, returned into Court, saying they could not agree. The fore man said if the punishment of death did not follow the ver dict they would agree to find the prisoner guilty. They wore again sent back, and a ft er f our h ours ' more delibera tion, cue of the jurors being at the time very unwell, they agreed to a verdict of guilty. The D u bli n P os t sa ys, "it was an awful scene at this moment ; yet the unfortunate prisoner was not at all disconcerted, but evinced the greatest firmness. Every one in Court was extremely affected, and the learned judge folded his hands and lifted his eyes to heaven in apparently great agony." GROSS OUTRAGe. LYON MAJESTY. The following additional particulars respecting the g:-ess outrage offered to her Majesty just previous to her entering the New Palace, on Saturday last, are from a quarter on which we have reason to believe every reliance can be placed. The words used by the in livid led in custody, be sides the opprobrious epithets already mentione9l, vv.:re, that her Majesty was a usurper, and that he would have her off the throne before that day week. Hi r Majesty, who dis tinctly heard the threats, immediately on alighting from her carriage, directed the Hon. Colonel Cavendish, her princi pal equerry, to cause him to be taken into custody ; but on his going outside the Palace for that purpose, the individual was nowliere to be seen. It was at first supposed, from his wearing a star on his left breast, that he was a foreigner of distinction, and a communication was accordingly in stantly forwarded to the head office of the Commissioners of Police of the occurrence, when &warlock, A 125, Was dispatched to the Palace to obtain a description of the indi vidual from the footmen who sat on the hind dickey of the Queen's carriage ; that description leading Shearlock to believe that the offender was Capt. John Goode, late of the 10th Royal Hussars, whom he had had in custody on the 24th of May last (her Majesty's birth-day) for creating a disturb ance and forcibly entering within the inclosure of Ken sington Palace, he proceeded in private clothes to the re sidence then given by the captain, at the house of Miss Blanchard, 218, Regent-circus, Oxford-street, to ascertain if he still resided there. On Shearlock seeing Miss Blan chard, he did not communicate to her the object of his visit, but merely inquired whether the captain still resided there, when she told him that he did ; that he had been out ail the afternoon, and that his friends were much alarmed re specting him, fearing from some expressions which had fal len from him that he meditated some act of violence towards her Majesty on her intended visit to the city on Thursday next. Shearlock, who ries accompanied by Harris, another policeman of the same division, although confident that Captain Goode was the individual of whom lie was in search, did not feel himself justified in apprehending him without an order to that effect from the Secretary of State; he, therefore, after forwarding the result of his inquiries to the Commissioners, remained with Harris during the night, and up to two o'clock on Sunday afternoon, on the watch in the Circus, that the Captain did not leave his residence. About two o'clock Inspector Pearce, of the same division, arrived at the corner of Regent-circus in a hackney coach, with the order from the Home-office, when all three proceeded to Miss Blanchard's house, and on the door being opened entered, without acquainting the servant with their object, who, becoming alarmed, screamed out for the police. She was, however, soon quieted by Harris, while Inspector Pearce and Shearlock immediately proceeded to the apartments occupied by Captain Goode, whom, on entering the room, they found standing in a morn ing dress, with his back to the fire. On learning their in tention to convey him away in custody lie became greatly excited, and denounced them as a couple of traitors to him self, their lawful Sovereign. He was then allowed to dress, and ultimately conveyed in the hackney coach, which had been kept waiting, to the office of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, where Sir F. A. Roe, Bart., the Chief Magistrate of Police - , Mr. Phillips, the Under Secretary of State, and other gentlemen connected with Government, were awaiting his arrival. When brought into the room he was placed behind a chair. opposite the table where Sir F. A. Roe was sitting, when he became greatly excited, and repeated the declarations he made when examined in May last before Messrs. Codd, Barlow, and Pilkington, the sitting Magistrates at Ken sington, that he was the only lawful sovereign of these realms ; that he was a son of George the Fourth. and Queen Caroline, born at Montagu-house, Blackheath ; and that if he could but get hold of her Majesty he would " !ear her into pieces." Upon every subject unconnected with the Royal Family he spoke in a most rational man ner, but whenever the Queen's name was mentioned he be came exceedingly violent. After the evidence of her Ma jesty's footmen and other persons who had observed his violent conduct, was taken, Sir F. A. Roe told him lie could not be allowed to act in so outrageous a manner, and must be detained in custody unless lie found security, him self in 1,0001. and two sureties in 500/. each, for his good behaviour. He then again became very violent, when, not being provided with sureties, he was remanded to the New Prison, Tothill-fields, for re-examination on Saturday next. When conveyed to prison he was taken in the hack ney-coach from the entrance to the Treasury in St. James's Park. On entering the coach he instantly smashed all the windows with his elbows, and screamed out to the sen tinels on duty, "Guards of England ! do your duty, and rescue your Sovereign !" to the no small astonishment of the bystanders. He is a fine, handsome-looking man, of dark complexion, and in his forty-first year. MEETING OF THE POLISH EXILES IN PARIS. (From the Journal des Debals.) A meeting took place on the 30th ult. of the Polish Li terary Society in Paris, attended by a considerable number of persons of eminence and distinction in that capital, con nected with and interested in the cause of Poland, in order to present to our high-minded countryman, Lord Dudley Stuart, with a copy of his portrait, engraved on steel by the distinguished Polish artist Olesczynski, and which has been effected by subscriptions raised among the Poles. Prince Czartoryski presided, and, in an eloquent ad dress observed—" It has often been asked with some surprise why Lord Dudley Stuart has borne so- great an affection, and has evinced so much interest in the cause of Poland ? Men, in general, are • led away by, and attach themselves only to, the fortunate ; they admire and surround those only who are successrul. He, however, is one of those superior individuals over whom misfortunes exercise a predominant influence. The advantages and the importance of the re-establish ment of Poland may be shown upon a mere calculation of the interests and dangers of Europe in general. Our lengthened misfortunes, and the state of destitution in which we appear to be, have chilled the sympathies of some, and shaken the sonvictions of Others. But those causes have produced a different effect on a higli and elevated mind, ani mated by an ardent sense ofju it ice. It is precisely because we are abandoned that he consecrates to us his time, his care, his exertions. On an occasion when it would be desirable to give utterance to expressions only of satisfaction, I wish I could say something consolatory to you on the state of our affairs. Unfortunately, however, the march of events do not permit the at this moment so to do. What conclusion is to be drawn from this? Is our cause to be despaired of? Assuredly not. It ought ri„ther to strengthen our conviction in this, that the true hope of. Poland is in ourselves. So long as the Poles shall continue to detest the yoke of the stranger, that they shall be determined to remain at any price a na tion, and ready to .risk everyth'ng in order-to reconquer the the independence of th,ir country, so long as they may look forward with sure and sanguine hope to the future. The ever-changing march of affairs is not checked ; great events may every instant arise ; but it is an invariable law appli cable to nations as well as to individuals, that there are no favourable events but for those who place themselves in a. situation to act by their own means and with their own energies." The venerable Niemcewicz then retraced with fervour the implacable and unheard-of persecutions' which Russia ILl rclentingly exercises over the whole population of Polanl, not exception women and children. Lord DUDLEY STUART addressed the meeting at its conclusion, and after having thanked the persons present for their flattering testimony towards him, he declared that his devotion would not be overpowered by obstacles, and that he would persevere, even against time and its most cruel vicissitudes. He assured them that though for the present he was not in Parliament, yet that he had left there many friends zealous in the cause of. the Poles. He re collected also that the question was now much better un derstood than it had been at the time of the last insurrec tion ; that the right, was now established too clearly to ad mit of discussion ; thst hereaft, r it would be necessary only to watch forthcoming events, and wait a favourable opportunity—to prepare and show beforehand to the world the imposing spectacle of an union of views and a concert in action, such as the cause may require and circumstances rendered most advantageous. We promised several days ago to lay before our readers a list of the persons who had rejected the invita tion of " the Entertainment Committee of the Court of Comdion Council of the city of London" to dine at Guild hall on the 9th inst.:--the Duke of Northutnberland, the Duke of Buceleuch, the Duke of Richmond, Lord Stan ley, Lord G.

Nov. 6.—The rate-payers of .the different parishes in the Isle of Wight, particularly of New Church and Northwood, the two principal (containing the towns of Cowes and Ryde), are at issue with the Guardians, or Directors and Guardians, as they are here styled, who were appointed under a local Act of Parliament, but have placed the parishes, as far as it was convenient for them to do so, under the New Poor law Act ; but, as they were not elected by the rate-payers, as directed by the 40th and 41st clauses of that Act, their authority is disputed, and no rate for the relief of the poor can be made. The Rev. F. Trestrail, Baptist minister, was summoned before the Magistrates at the Guildh a ll, i n thi s b o ro ug h, o n Saturday last,for non-payment of Church-rates. Messrs. Jolliffe and Odger, the churchwardens, proved that the de fendant was rated at 101. per annum, they demanded 2s. 6d. of him on the 31st ult., and that he refused to pay it. The Rev. Gentlemen stated to the Magistrates that he must decline paying the demand from principle ; he did not wish to offer any offence to them, but it was a most unjust im post, and one that would ever meet with his most deter mined opposition. Lord Yarborough regretted lie could not assist him. Mr. Trestrail said he was aware of that, and that a distress-warrant must issue against his goods ; lint he would rather submit to have all his property taken from him, than pay one farthing of so unjust a tax.—War rant ordered. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir —A short time before the death of the late King William, printed proposals were circulated for the institu tion of a Society lbr providing additional Curates for po pulous Towns and Districts, on applications from the local Incumbents. This Society, which is to be quite distinct from " the Pastoral Aid Society," is now proposed afresh. It is to the credit of the Bench of Bishops that liberal subscriptions are announced from various Prelates. The object in view is undoubtedly goml4tltoughlapporreltiehnadt that it may b e a tt a ined mor e e ffi cac i ous l y i n a way to which lam a b ou t t o a dvert. But, independently consideration, the plan of Government of the Society, as stated in the circulars, is equally unreasonable and impo litic. It is constructed on the strictest principles of a close borough. The two Archbishops are to be officially Pre sidents, and the Bishops officially Vice-Presidents. To these is to be added a Committee of twenty-four mem bers. But the whole Committee is to be appointed by the Archbishops ; thus all the members of the Committee are nominees of the Archbishops, and even if unanimous on any question, might be at any time outnumbered by the Episcopal Bench. And the subscribers at large will not have the slightest controul over the application of the money which they contribute. On such a plan, are subscriptions likely to be general, ample, and permanent ? It ought to be regarded as a vital principle in all insti tutions supported by voluntary contributions, that the body of subscribers should have a controlling influence in the disposal of the revenue which they furnish. This .is no more than the simple rule of justice. It is.also very de sirable that such an Institution should be situated as nearly as conveniently may be to the objects which it is designed to benefit. Instead of a distant Society in the metropolis, let there be formed in each diocese an inde pendent Society for providing additional Curates where needed within the Diocese. Let the Bishop be officially the President, and the Archdeacons Vice-Presidents. Let a Committee, sufficient in number, be annually chosen by the subscribers at a General Meeting. Such a Society will always be the best judge of the local wants of the dio cese ; and contributions will be the more readily supplied when the c ontributors shall thus possess their due weight in the a pplication of them, and witness the benefits which shall result. X. Y. - _ TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir—ls it to be wondered at that there is so much peculation going on at the Post-office ? Why do the Government permit the employment of the letter-carriers to trade in the " Post-office Directory" for the exclusive benefit of a recently appointed Clerk in the Inland' Office!!! The Commissioners have very properly advised the discon tinuance of all publications in this establishment—even the o Shipping List ;" but front some unaccountable circum stance, the "Post-office Directory" is still continued, when it is notorious in the establishment, that if the letter carriers were prevented hawking , the Post-office Directory into every merchant's counting house (diverting the atten tion of the men from their ostensible duty, and at the public cost, as far as their labour• is concerned), .the pro duction itself would be rejected by the greater proportion of the trades of this great city, as wholly inapplicable to their wants. - You r's, Nov. 7, 1837. ARGUS. " THE OBSERVER" OF SUNDAY, N0v.12, PRICE FIVEPENCE.—The Conductor and the Editors of The Observer will, agreeably to their usual plan on important occasions, give the most correct particulars of the Ceremo nies of the Queen's Visit on Lord Mayor's-day, which will be illustrated by Engravings of the Interior of Guildhall, and a Panoramic Sketch of the Procession.

CHURCII-RATES.—We have to congratulate the friends of justice and true religion on the triumph that evidently awaits .the determination of the friends of liberal principles to repel the efforts of the High Church party in Darlington, to perpetuate the iniquitous impost of Church rates on all classes and sects of the inhabitants. After a contest unexampled in the North of England for its dura tion, the zeal with it has been carried .on, and the bitter feelings it has excited, the pol is expected to terminate this day in the rejection of th, proposed rate.—Dui ham Chronicle. Oa Saturday afternoon an explosion of a quantity of fireworks took place at the manufactory of 'Mr. Wilson, 17, Hertford -street, Somers -town, which dreadfully injured several persons, and created great alarm in the mighbour hood. It appeared that the explosion occurred in cnnse (peace of the fireworks being placed too close to a fire in a room in which they were made. Mr. Wilson's two sons, a young Man nineteen years of age, and a lad aged eight years, with two other persons, were conveyed to the Uni versity College Hospital in a most pitiable condition. On inquiring at night, it was stated that Mr. Wilson's sons were not expected to survive many hours. In addition to the injury sustained by the unfortunate persons mentioned, the explosion set fire to the premises, but the flame; were speedily extinguished.

COMB INATION.—We regret exceedingly that the fatal system of combination which Mr. O'Connell has de nounced with such eloquent indignation, has spread its deadly roots far and wide. In this city, which was formerly free from the contagion, the pestilence has arrived at such an alarming height that, if not met with promptitude and vigour, must speedily deal destruction around, and none more swiftly than .to those misguided men who think they are consulting their own interests in the mad career which they are pursuing. —Waterford Chronicle. There are at present upwards of nine thousand packages of foreign grapes in the London market, imported chiefly from Spain, Portugal, and Hamburg. English hot house grapes were sold in Covent-garden market in London by wholesale at the very low price of nine pence per pound. THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. Under the auspices of Mr. Manche and the manager. neammont and Fletcher, - strange to say, incurred a failure at this house last night. This happened from their play cf Bonduca , baving been made, under the title of Carartacia the vehicle of the grand spectacle which has for some time been premised from hencc to the excited anticipations of tla public. The plot of Caractacus is brief. The action opens with the preparations of that chieftain for an encounter with the Romans, under the propra3tor. Ostorius Scapula (Mr. King.) He takes part in a grand D.uidie ceremonial preparatory to battle-7fights—is defeated—loses his chief stronghold, and with it his wife and daughter—hcromcs fugitive with his son Hengo,--is betrayed to the Romans by a barbaric retainer a.-Qtreen Carthismandria—brought to Rome—paraded in a triumphal processio n ; and, l'y, for his magnanimity-, is pardoned by Claudius Cmsar. Two episodes figure in the action—first a young Ro:nan 'Tribune, Junius (Mr. Brindal), having fallen in love with the (laughter of Ca ractacus, and not thriving in his passion, tries in vain to ac complish a fall of another kind—v.z., in battle ; hut, as usual, cannot possibly succeed in so desira'de a nurpose—L commits his loyalty by saving his mistress and Caractacus from the swords of his -soldiers—is punished by being treated as a British slave, and finally shares the good fortune of the hero, and has every prospect of marriage with his &mica. The second episode is of a veteran general in Britain, Penius Posthumus (Mr. Cooper) who having been superseded in his command by his junior, Ostorius Scapula, is ex cee di ng l y wrot h, an d re f uses to o b ey or d ers to join in the battle, which ultimately decides the fortunes of Caracta cus. He prognosticates that the young commander will be defeated, but when victory declares for lim, mortifica tion and the indignatien of his own troops drive him to com mit suicide, which he effects after the old Ro:nan m anner , of perforatin g hi s t h orax with his own sword. Some few passages in the part of Caractacus, which was sustained by Mr. Butler, were - listened to and applauded, espe cially the scenes with his stripling son (a part well played by a young gentleman who never trod the boards in London before) : but the rest was, as we have stated, utter failure. The house at first took the matter in angry dulness, and then in angry mirth, insomuch that the prolix heroics of old Posthumus, and the melting pathos of Ju nius, were either enlivened by an epidemic accompaniment of coughing or laughter, both, however, greatly alloyed with the less agreeable" !sounds of disapprobation. Delays between the acts kept these feelings in full vivacity. The scenery and music of the piece were its best recommenda tion. The former did great credit, in sonic instances, to the Messrs. Grieve, and the latter, to Mr. Balfe. An en trenched camp of the Romans, " a British Dracontium, or .temple of the sun and serpent, designed foom a ground plan of the celebrated remains at Abhry and a Moun tain scene, the retreat of Caractatus, were each admira ble specimens of the scenic art —more esnecially the Dra contium, in which a number of' figures, drawn with great freedom of design, and coloured with equal power, were, peculiarly striking. This, with its druidical procession its inspired songs of the Druids, and the choruses of a large body of dtamatis perecmcc, was by far the best part of the whole piece. One chorus, " Ilark to his wheels,'.' w as warmly encored—it was a broad, bold, spirited comirosition. It was succeeded by another snore and less effec tive. The final scene of the whole, and the intended coup de vicloire was, we should say, but an indifferent pageant, crowded enough with glittering soldiers, horses, two or three chariots, a couple of small Brahmin bulls, a camel, and two elephants, almost as good as if alive. The scene was not felicitous, and the general effect of the pageant unreal, incomplete, and common-place. Several times during the evening, a summary verdict appeared about to be passed off - this production, and at the conclu sion, things looked so inauspicious and menacing, that no attempt was made to announce its repetition. OLYMPIC ; - • A new burletta was projuced here last night with the grand and imposing title Of .4 Dream of the Future ; but the sublimity ceases trial the title, for " the future" here alluded to merely unfolds some of the peculiar miseries as well of "single blessedness" as of holy wedlock, and the dreamers of the dream are only two young ladies (sisters) Just returned from a ball. The two young ladies, of course, ere provided with a lover each, but the two specimens of the genus belong to very different classes—the one is a captain, impudent, coxcombical, conceited, and in love rather with his mistress's fortune than with herself; the other is a young surgeon, but no fit representative of the fraternity ; for he is modest, diffident, bashful, and abso lutely in love. We deem it essential, in order to enlist any portion of the interest of our readers in a narrative so bare of incidents, that we should state • that Madame Vestris represented the dreamer, Miss Lee the sister, Mr. C. Mathews the doctor, and Mr. J. Yining the captain. We have little positive fault to find with this new produc tion from the pen of Mr. Dance, but we can also afford it but little commendation. The acting is so excellent that the piece could not fail to please for a time ; but that time will, in all probability, be short. ROYAL PAVILION. The tragedy of Othello Was " revived" hero l.►st night, and drew an immense house, the novelties in the cast being the first appearance of Mrs. Edwin Yarn°ld (late Miss Grove), as Desdemona ; Mrs. Campbell, as Emilia ; and Denvil, as Othello.. Mrs. Edwin Yarnold looked the " sweet Desdemona" to the life, and Mrs. Campbell was a successful Emilia. Laws gave a correct version of the amiable Cassio ; and Farrell made the flighty, yet lachrymose, Roderigo sufficiently amusing without being offensive. GA RR I C.K. This little theatre has been redecorated and made quite smart for the season, in addition to which the scenery has been put under an improved arrangement, after the French mode of managing. The proprietors have availed them selves of the services of Davis's beautiful and docile stud of 'horses, and havelvroduCed some of the equestrian pieces in very superior style. The Courier and his horse, a drama founded on a patch of Polish history, has run with immense applause for several weeks, and has now given place to the very celebrated military spectacle of the Battle of Waterloo, ivhich was acted for the first time last night. Mr. Davis was the person who originally brought out the piece ; and one of the proprietors, Mr. Gomersal, who was the original Napoleon, takes the same character. . BOULOGNE-SUR-MER, Nov. 2.—During the last three days, with scarcely any intermission, the wind has blown a perfect hurricane from the north and north-west. This morning, at five o'clock, the Leader, Captain Watson, an English three-masted vessel of 190 tons, bound from Cadiz to the port of London, laden with wines, quicksilver, and pomegranates, was driven on shore at low water at Am bleteuse, a small fishing village about.four miles to the north ward of Boulogne . .. Of the crew, consisting of nine, only three of the sailors were saved clinging to what is termed the " break of the leek," upon which they were washed ashore. The captain,. the first and second mates, and three seamen were drowned. Their bodies have not yet been found. The survivors state that the captain had mistaken a light (supposed the Cape Grinez. light) for the Dungeness light, and that under this impression the vessel was lying-to until daylight. The moment she struck on the sands the anchors were put out, which caused the veisel to swing round, and all hope of extricating her from her perilous situ ation was at an end. About three o'clock this afternoon not a vestige of the vessel was to be seen. Indeed she is a total wreck ; and in the event of her being insured, scarcely one farthing will be recovered by the underwriters. Some of the spars and broken wine hogsheads have been washed ashore, but nothing which will realise money has as yet been found. Eight o'clock, p.m.—Soon after six o'clock this morning a large vessel supposed to be a homeward-bound East Indiaman, was seen from the pier proceeding up channel in evidently a very disabled condition. It is just reported here that a vessel answering her description was driven on shore this afternoon to the southward. A French fishing-boat is likewise reported to have been wrecked this afternoon. Nine o'clock, p.m.—l have just been informed that the „Grand Turk, which left this port for London on Tuesday morning last, put into Calais yesterday afternoon (where she now remains), after beating about the channel for upwards of 36 hours. On Tuesday morning, Lieutenant S. T. Carter, in care of the L owes t o ff e lif e -b oat, rece i ve d i n f ormat i on th a t a brig had grounded on the NewcomeSands, and was show ing signals of distress. The wind was blowing a hurricane, and the fishermen could not put off to her assistance. Lieu tenant Carter, accompanied by Mr. Disney, of that town, after much difficulty, launched the life-boat, and with great lat.ou r and peril reached. the brig, from which they sue-. seeded in taking the master, W. Banfield, four passengers, and nine men of the crew. The gallant little crew had scarcely got all hands on board before the brig went over on her side, and the cargo was seen to float in every direc tion. The vessel was the Bytvell, of Newcastle, with a ge neral cargos, from London. On Wednesday not a vcts,tigo., of the wreck was to be seen.—.2Voipic Chkonick. As a strong young fellow was driving a cart, drawn by three dogs, along Duke-street, on Thut'sday night, loaded with two sacks of potatoes, the dogs ran against another cart, which was coming in an opposite direction, with such force that the man, who sat on the sacks, was thrown to the ground, and the potatoes falling upon him broke one of his legs, and otherwise severely injured him. He was immediately lifted by soma persons who 'Sere upon the spot when the accident happened, p i nd carried to the hospital. The load seemed to much too heavy for the dogs ; and without the. weight of the driver, who np peared strong thi healthy, the poor animals must have bad a sallicieat IRELA ND. DUBLIN, No . . 4. GUNPOWDER PLOT.—We stated on Tae,day, that . on to-morrow the parsons would fire a general vol:ey from all the pulpits in Ireland, in honour of the Gunpowder Plot, as well as in celebration of the Landing of William I IL— both of which events occured on the sth November. Some of the country papers which titre ~ince retched our office conta . n similar intimations. If the follow . ng paragraph, which we extract from tI.O Evening Packet, Lc correct in i.orne of its ste.temelits— that it is not correct in all we have reason to believe— there can be no doubt that the parsons will proceed to execute their menaces : " Remember, remember, the fifth of November." A umour is current that the Rev Dr. Elrington his re sigred his chaplaincy to Lord Mnlgrave under the follow ineciicumstances :—lt being intimated to the Doctor that he was expected to preach in the Castle Chapel next Sun day, h: required .to know whether it was intended that the service fixed for the sth of November by Act of Parliament would be read, and being inforn - e I. in the negative, the anter at once declined becoming a party to such a vioh tion of law and of the formularies of the Church, as by law estahLs'n d, by tendering his resignation. The. Act, esta blishif g a certain form of prayer for the day, passed in the third year of King James the First, and that Act not only enjoins that the particular service shall be said, but directs that " the Minister of every parish shall give warn;ng to his parishioners publicly in the church at morning prayer the Sunday before, for the observation of said day." The form of prayer is thus introduced ; • " A form of prayer and thanks g i v i ng to be us e d yearly upon the sth of N ove mber—for the happy deliverance of King James the Fi rs t an d t h e three estates of England, from the most traitorous and bloody intended massacre-by gunpowder. And also the happy arrival of his Majesty King William on this day, for the deliverance of our church and nation." We rather incline to think the powers that be, slaves though they are to Popery, will on due consideration shrink from a violation of the statute law. The resignation of Dr. Elrington will probably bring them to their senses, and cause them to abandon their evil designs. If the statute should be repealed, let an Act for the purpose be passed ; but so long as it is the law -of the land, it should be obeyed, and respected by all, and above all by those placed in au thority over us. • We do hope that a Minister of the Church will not be found to lend hiMself to such a dis graceful proceeding as that of I iolating the law. What, if it should turn out that the Dean of Lb.:, Chapel, Dr. Vignoles, in answer to the inquiry of Doct or Elrington —acting, we have no doubt, under a mis'Apprehension of the usage—told the latter that the: Gunpowder Service would not be read, and that be made this communication 'to the Profesor of Divinity wi!..nout consulting his Excel len7 ? That Doctor Elrington resigned, and the resigna tion has been aceepted s is perfectly true. But, the material point, after all, will be the political and mad sermons to-msrrow.—Du3lin Evening Post. CITY OF DUBLIN PETITION.—SO then, it seems, that after having, for four 'menths, essayed by every art that could be put in practice to extract money from the Eng lish bigots and fools, who are stupid 'enough to belong to the anti-Irish faction, the honest gntiemen electors and supporters- of the Conservative e'..ididates have found out now that " there is evidence sufficient to justify the prose cution of the Petition" against Messrs. West and Hamil ton. This very suodued form of expression is all that " a minute and Larcrul investigation of the several grounds for petitim;'enables the gentlemen elector s t o a d o pt a t t h e i r ' meetir;„ held on Monday last, the ex-Attorney-General :Ina veteran chief of the party, the Right Hon. Wil liam &writ!, in the chair. Now, we have elso had some opportunities of acquainting ourselves with the details of the case, and we arc qualified to tell Mr. Saurin, and the party at large, that the defeat of the petition on the merits is as certain as that to-morrow's sun will rise, and that, in this instance, at least, the dupes who will be tre panned into subscribing will get no value for their money. As to subscriptions in Dublin, they will never be had in any thing like the amount requisite to carry on the peti tion. The fellows here have been brought up to the sys tem of inking; and giving, for public objects is unknown to their practice. On this principle, however, they will prove themselves admirable recipients of whatever contri butions their British brethren may be humbugged to supply. To these latter we cr', " Take care of your pockets ;" but the caution they have hitherto exhibited in this particular, will probably render our warnings wholly superfluous.— Ibid. MR. O'CONNELL AND THE BALLOT (Box).--In the afternoon of yesterday.this distinguished gentleman visited the Chamber of Commerce, followed by a person bearing a newly-invented Ballot-box, which appeared to afford per fect security against fraud of any kind, and to ensure se crecy completely. The large table, at the side of which Mr. O'Connell placed himself, was immediately surrounded by the mercantile men of all parties, to whom be explained, in great detail, the advantages of the piece of mechanism. 't'o this object he devoted upwards of en hour, answering the objections which were made by several persons to the plan of the box ; but the proceedings were rendered highly amusing by the conviction which " th e L ec t urer " seeme d to.entertain that th e p i inciple of the Ballot was so certain of bziog conceded as to lease little to settle now save the 2n aciiitztu through which the suffrages should I.)J received. The box was, we believe, forwarded from London by Mr. .Grote, for the purpose of being exhibited in the manner adopted by Mr. O'Connell. It bad been previously "on view" in the lobby of the House of Commons, and was much approved of there. THE EARL OF DURHAM.—TIie newspapers of " the two extremes," natinue to attack the Earl of Dur ham's speech—the Tories with the . rabid ‘iolence of blind and' undiscriminating hostility—the Ultraißadicals, for the greater part, with somewhat more moderation, but in the querulous tone of men who, without having a tangible ground for quarrelling with the Noble Earl, yet venture .4 to hint. a fault and hes:tate dislike"—while others of them broadly denounce his Lordship as one in whom con fidence ought no longer to be reposed. Temperate and reflecting observers—steady, practical, honest, and inge nuous Reformers—will know how to estimate these ebulli tions of corrupt and factious hatred on the part of the Tories, and the no less unmerited and unjustifiable inuendocs and as)ersions breathed against the character of the Noble Earl by the opposite party ; who, professing to agree with the enemies of all Reform in no one article of political faith, yet rush into an ungrateful and unprincipled alliance with them, to decry every man who does not reach the standard they have established as the test of wisdom and virtue—though his whole life may have been employed in extending and consolidating the liberties of the people. It is worthy of remark that the miters of " the two extremes" concur in another respect in this crusade. In all the at tacks upon Lord Durham that have fallen under our notice, with regard either to local or national politics, we have not seen one in which the passages of his speech selected for criticism have not been distorted to suit the purposes of tho commentator. It is a hie' compliment to the Noble Earl that his detractors, finding nathing in his conduct or lan guage t hat, by an honest iepresentation of the one, or a candid interpretation of t le other, would render him amen able to the judgment they have evinced such eager haste to pronounce against him, arc compelled to have recourse to practices utterly oppos:•(1 both to honesty and candour. It is gratifying to koow, however, that far the greater num tor of the public journals supporting the cause of Reform have united to do justice to Lord Durham's integrity and the statesmanlike ability and foresight which have marked his whole political career.—Durham Chronicle. EIRE AT Bow.—On Friday night, about half past ten o'clock, a communication was received at the Eastern Engine-station of the Fire-Establishment that a most destructive fire was raging in the village of Bow. The engines immediately started to the spot. On tlTir arrival the fire was discovered to be at the oil and varnish works belonging to Mr. Poulson, Bromley New Town, Bow-common. It appeared that the. fire commenced in the manufacturing-room, and, by the negligence of the workmen n, who hatj caused the bailers to be over-heated, by which the combustible liquid they . contained b ecame ignited, and in a very short time the boiling-house was en veloped in flames. 011 the arrival of the Wellclose-square engine, which .was on the spot within twenty minutes after the alart*had been given, the flames had extended to the warehouses and storehouses at the eastern part of the fac tory. The engines worked from the canal ; and although every exertion was used to stop the fire, by eleven o'clock the entire_range of buildings were in ruins, and the whole of the contents consumed. We understand that this is the third time This year that the premises it question have been destroyed by fire, and on each *ccasion has been at tributed to the carelessness of the persons employed therein.. A horrid case of murder has occupied one of the Provisional Tribunals in France. A mad of the name of Maze, a farm servant, had married a widow, who possessed some little property, but who was also possessed of what was less welcome to the fellow—five young children. He appears to have made several attempts to murder these children, and one of them is supposed to be in a decline in consequence of his ili-treatment. One of his attempts p7oved completely sueces,ful. He had ascertained, on one occasion, that a violent kick which he had given one of the childr-ort io the belly had left no mark behind, and, specu lating on this observation, he actually kicked the poor child to death. His only object appears to have been to relieve' himself of the expense of maintaining the children. Tee French papers mention the remarkable character of mild 112SS wbieh distinguishes his features. He has bceag con demned to death,
