Brother Victuallers, The above Association has been formed by the Deputations from Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester, Bath, Hull, Roch dale, Stockport, and Stourbridge, who attended in London last August, for the purpose of watchirg. the Bill introduced into the House of Commons by Mr. Hawes. Ere the Bill reached the House of Lords, various alterations were made in it, and the sixth clause being particularly obnoxious and highly detrimental to the interests of the body at large, but mere especially affecting the country trade, t he members forming the above deputations opposed it most strenuous ly, and to their exertions are we indebted for that clause being struck out of the Bill. The want of union, however, amongst the various towns in England, was severely felt at that period to give due effect to the important duties which those deputations undertook. This Association has therefore been formed, to act as a Central Board, to watch any Bills that may be brouslst forward connected with the interests of the body of which we are members—and to rally the whole trade of the kingdom, should any further alterations be attempted, or any increased powers be proposed to be given to the Beer Bill of 1828. That this is a truly constitutional mode, no one will attempt to deny, for we seek no new privilege—we only ask to be allowed to stand as we arc, to enable us to recover frore the evils and ruin which that on asure entailed upon many. Brother Victuallers--A new attempt is about to be made in the cnsuing Session of Parliament ; let us therefore arouse ourselves, and be prepared for the struggle. The principal provincial towns have already formed themselves into branches to give support to princ:ples upon which the National Association is founded. I. Ilion we know is strength ; but when, as in the present case, it is bleuded with the cause of justice, we fear not the result, if we do but our duty to ourselves. By order of the Committee, G. S. KEYMER, Hon. Sec. London,tlBth Jan., 1837. TO ADVERTISERS, s•—'-; BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY—No. 11. Advertisements, Bills, &c., intended for insertion in the Second Number of this New Periodical Work, are requested to be forwarded, on or before the 23d inst.' to Mr. Bentley, New Bur lington-street. (*„" 5,000 Bills requ , red in the first instance.) 11AMBURGH, JAN. 10, 1837. ALL those who may have to write to us are re quested to direct HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGH, which is perfectly sufficient for the address, and letters directed in that way will reach us just as well as if directed, HEINE BROTHERS, BANKERS, in HAMBURG. Neither the deno mination of BANKERS, or any other, is required, and letters directed, HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURGII. will do without any further remark or description. We further request to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 101., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forwarl the amount in One Note, or one Bank Post Bill or Cheque; or having to receive Money from Hamturgh, to receive the same in the same way, whenever possible. As to re mittances from Hamburgh to England for large Sums, amounting tckmany THOUSANDS, of course they may rather be remitted in Bills of Exchange. All those giving orders for any Branch of our multifariousßusiness, that must be exacuted before FEBRUARY, are advised to lose no time in forwarding the same. HEINE BROTHERS in HAMBURG.

' ‘. out," cries one of the hacks of the Tory press. " There is no backing out of this," brays ano ther kindred spirit, " Sir ROBERT has nailed his colours to the mast." These miserable creatures are constrained to sink their own misgivings as to the speaker's mental reservation, for the sake of the effect likely to be produced by propagating a belief in his sincerity. _ It is impossible to cast even a glance at the late speech of Sir ROBERT PEEL without at once recog nising the prominent traits of the Right Hon. Baro net's character. An ostentatious affectation of can dour is resorted to, in order to conceal the insincerity that lurks beneath. There appears on the surface an off-hand frankness, admirably calculated to throw the unwary off their guard, and to make those who do not know Sir ROBERT believe that he is the very soul of honesty, while, in fact, he is entirely made up of insincerity. Having no fixed prin ciples to guide him—nothing within to direct him, his sole endeavour is so to adapt himself to external circumstances as to turn them most effectually to his own advantage. This has been his conduct since his first entrance into public life, and the natural conse quence of it is, that he has acquired a character for hypocrisy and vacillation which will stick to him to the latest hour of his life. His own party distrust and have abused him fully as much as that to which he has been opposed. But they cannot do without him, and both they and he know that right well. He is the only man they have capable, as a leader, of keeping their ricketty concern together. They are therefore compelled to take him on his own terms, and it is their interest to appear to be satisfied with, and to praise, every thing he says and does, however much against the grain it may be so to do. As an example of this, we may instance the loud acclamations with which their public organs have hailed the speech delivered at Glasgow, more particu larly that portion of it in which the Right Honoura ble Baronet is supposed to have stated the course he means t`o pursue during the ensuing session. Sir ROBERT'S well-weighed words are these—" I mean to supp or t the national establishments that connect Protestantism with the State in these three kingdoms." This is lauded t.o the skies as one of the most straight forward, manly, and explicit declarations that ever issued from the mouth of a public man. " This is speaking Now, was there ever any thing more vaguely ex pressed than this vaunted colour-nailing determination ? What is it but an unmeaning generality, wrapped up in language of most oracular ambiguity ? To not one single point of policy does this explicit (I) declaration pin the Right Honourable Baronet down. To not an individual measure does it say aye or no. There is, in fact, nothing in it, in the least inconsistent with a cor dial support of his Majesty's Ministers, whose uniform object has been, in all their measures which touched our Protestant institutions, to support and invigorate these institutions, by removing from them those abuses and corruptions which not only obstruct their salutary influence, but even endanger their very existence. But as a man's actions are the best interpreters of his words, let us try Sir ROBERT by this test, and see what support he may, with a safe conscience, give to the MELBOURNE Administration,.after the Glasgow declaration. We have before our mind's eye a map of the Right Hon. Baronet's political course, and by tracing that course, we may perhaps find something like a clue to guide us in our speculations as to the future. We shall not go very far back. Sir ROBERT would not thank us, were we to say that this is the first time that he has declared him self a supporter of our Protestant institutions. We ad mit that the support of Protestantism has been his boast during the whole of his public career, and we unreluc tautly concede to him all the advantage which he can derive from the admission. Now, in 1828 Sir ROBERT, being then Secretary of State for the Home Department, and Leader of the Government party in the House of Commons, took up and carried a Bil repealing the Test and Corporation Acts, which had for a century and a half been regarded by the party with whom he acted as one of the safe-guards--in fact the principal outwork, of Protestantism. Sir ROBERT thought otherwise, and thought justly. The Right Hon. Baronet followed up this successful debut, as a true supporter of Protestantism, by repeal ing in 1829 all the then remaining Catholic dis abilities. The Tories were loud and bitter in their denunciations of this great measure. They did not scruple to say that Sir ROBERT by granting Catholic Emancipation, had swept away the very rampart of Protestantism ; but be was convinced that he thereby strengthened its foundations, while he at the same time paid due " homage" to its purity and truth, by fairly pitting it against its antagonist. And here we may remark, as a circumstance highly honourable to Sir ROBERT PEEL, that for giving this enlightened support to the Protestant cause he incurred the grievnus displeasure of the Oxford bigots, who, incapable of appreciating his merits, actually ousted him from the representation of the University. In 1832, Sir ROBERT PEEL gate his sanction to Mr. (now Lord) STANLEY'S Irish Temporalities Bill, and away went ten stout pillars of Protestantism, in the shape of so many plump Irish bishops. In 1835, during the very brief space that he was at the head of the clap-trap Administration, he brought in, or caused to be brought in, various Bills for supporting the Protestant institutions of the country, every one of which Bills deprived them of some emolument or privilege. Thus, Sir H. HARDINGE'S Irish Tithe Bill docked the clergy in that country of full a fourth Of their incomes, and the Bill for the relief of the Dis senters was intended to put them on an equal footing with the members of the Church, in the important particular of the celebration of marriage, hitherto mo nopolized by the established clergy. In 1836 we find Sir ROBERT voting for the English Tithe Bill, which not only cut off at a slash a fourth or more of the tithe now payable to the clergy, but also cut them off for ever from all the advantages derivable from ally future increase in the productiveness of the soil to which in law they had an incontrovertible title. He also agreed to the diminution—much too trifling a diminution, we confess—of the Bishop's stipends ; and though last not least, voted for the Marriage and Registration Bills, which, conceived in a truly Chris tian spirit, have relieved the Church from the degrading servitude of being the civil officer of the State—thus severing a main link of that unnatural connection which added no real strength either to the Church or to the State. Now, do we blame Sir ROBERT PEEL for doing all these things ? GOD forbid. So far from it, we look upon them as the most meritorious actions of his pub lic life. We merely allude to them for the purpose of showing what may be comprehended within the range of a declaration which binds a man to a support of the Protestant institutions of the three kingdoms ; and we think we have proved that in making that declara tion, the Right Honourable Baronet has neither made any very important disclosure, nor bound him self in very tight fetters. After what he has done while supporting Protestant institutions, it must be evident to every one that it would be the silliest affectation to bolt at relieving the Dissenters from the humiliation of washing the surplices of the Clergy. As to Irish Municipal Reform, that has no thing to do with the question—that point Sir ROBERT never once mooted in his speech. That question has been excluded from the catalogue of Protestant ones, both by him and by the Peers. He voted for a modified corporation system, and they, by sweeping the cor porations of Ireland actually away, declared in the strongest language that these institutions could not possibly be among the ‘, institutions that connected Protestantism with the State." The Oxford Tories, wishing not to be behind their neighbours, have been for some time past labouring hard to get up what they call " a Conservative Ma nifestation." The affair came off on Tuesday, and, if we may judge from the account given of it in the Tory journals, will not do much to strengthen the in fluence of the party, the object which no doubt it was intended to accomplish. Oxford, it is well known, is the head-quarters of bigotry, intolerance, and "all uncharitableness," both in religion and politics ; it was therefore to be expected, as a matter of course, that a considerable number of persons would attend a meeting, the end and aim of which were to oppose the march of improvement, and to perpetuate the reign of abuse and corruption. But it might also have been expected that a University which arrogates to itself the palm of superiority in learning would have, on an oc casion like this, turned out a literary giant or two, were it only as specimens to show the public that there was some sort of foundation for the claim set up. Yet we find none but pigmies pushed forward on the stage. The person chosen to represent the University at this dinner, was one Dr. MAusHAm, a vain, pert, dull, foul-mouthed bigot, and, therefore, in so far, we allow, not ill-qualified for the task assigned him. This sage, self-important personage, delivered him self of a long-winded and evidently premeditated effusion, into which he has contrived to stuff a greater quantity of malignant misrepresentation, than we ever recollect to have seen crammed into a speech. It may be truly designated an olio of malevolence, an omnium gatherum to which every evil passion,is made to contri bute its share. The Rev. Doctor's chief attack is di rected against Ireland. Ireland, and the Irish, because they differ from , him in religious belief, are the objects of THE SUN #, LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 19, 1837. his most vindictive hostility. The odium theologtcum, as becomes the cloth to which the speaker belongs, is here allowed full play, and is exhibited in its most en venomed and disgusting form. In his eagerness to vitu perate at all hazards, the worthy Warden of Merton Col lege sometimes stumbles upon an awkward two-edged truth. " Justice," says he, " the meaning of which is so well understood with us, means in Ireland, the tak ing from one class of men that which belongs to it, and giving it to another, who has neither claim nor title to it." There never, we will venture to say, was given a more correct description of that justice which the Irish people have experienced from England. We need only ask how the Protestant Church and the Pro testant laity of Ireland came by their possessions, but by that which belonged to one class having been taken from it, and given to another, without claim or title ? month of a Statesman. It betrays an inherent love of tyranny which can only exist in minds essentially mean and contemptible. Has M. GUIZOT forgotten all his rhetorical flourishes about the sympathy of France for the triumph of freedom in all parts of the world ? Has he forgotten his boasts about French generosity and French honour, wherever the voice of suffering huma nity was heard imploring assistance ? Is it to en lighten mankind still more, that the Minister of Public Instruction thus comes forward to puff into thin air the frothy lectures of the philosopher ? The rights of mankind ; the faith of treaties ; and a respect for public opinion, are, according to M. GUIZOT, of no moment in the estimation of the Go vernment of which he is a Member. What in sub stance says this official mouthpiece of the President of the " best of all Republics ?" Talk not to us of treaties. They exist, but they mean nothing. If you can prove they have a meaning condemnatory of the policy which we adopt, we will merely stop to ob serve that we won't change it. You ask why ? You shall he answered. We would pocket nothing by the change, and we risk nothing by remaining as we are. As for honour, and consistency, and generosity, and philanthropy, we are powerful enough to dispense with them. They form, in fact, no part of our system. Enough : we are the Government—we are the KING— we are France ! A " Great Conservative Manifestation"—as our Tory Contemporaries grandiloquently phrase it—was exhibited yesterday at Maidstone, in the attractive shape of a good dinner, at which a few ordinary Peers were present, and divers small Commoners. Viscount MARSHAM was Chairman, and a better selection could not have been made ; for his Lordship, by his inordi nate dullness and prolixity, effectually kept within bounds the hilarious feelings of the assembly, and cast over their proceedings a most decorous and dignified, not to say characteristic, gloom. One only speech re lieved the general insipidity of the evening, and that one was spoken by Mr. HOARE, a pretty orator enough, if we except his frequent and startling deviations into sheer nonsense. This eccentric gentleman out-Wetherelled WETHERELL himself, in his denunciations of the Papists, and all things Papistical. He was for repeal ing the Catholic Emancipation Act, and subjecting the professors of that creed to their old state of bon dage. " I can see," he said, " the apparition of Popery stalking before me, with rapid strides. She is covered with a snow-white mantle, which, however, does not conceal the foul stench which accompanies her march, nor hide from view the disgusting features which compose her horrible person. Her skin is black ; and instead of hair, serpents and scorpions are writhing round her brow. Her eyes dart living fire, and from her mouth proceed poisonous arrows ; in her right hand she holds the keys of the Inquisition, and in her left the instruments of torture. Her feet are red with the blood of martyrs, and yet soft is her step, and her voice sweet and pleasant to the ear." And who, does the reader suppose, trots behind this lovely goblin ? DANIEL O'CONNELL, Esq. ! Yes, DANIEL, it is, who, on Mr. HOARE'S showing, officiates as her footman in livery ; while close behind him walk his MAJESTY'S Ministers, two and two,—a procession which so paralyses the optics of the Kentish orator, that he calls on the " men of Kent" to rush out, and knock each Member of the Cabinet on the head, beginning of course with DANIEL ! And this trash, it seems, was received with acclamations, by its hearers ! A pretty condition they must have been, when they could have mistaken such frantic drivel for eloquence and energy ! Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL'S speech was better—much better; but even his, elaborate and premeditated as it evidently was, was by no means wanting in absurdity; for he talked of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Ministry not having been based " on exclusive principles," when it is noto rious that there was not an individual Member of his Cabinet but what was a decided Anti-Reformer at heart, whatever he might be on the hustings. We consider the Kentish Conservative manifestation as not a whit inferior to its predecessors in dullness and mise rable inefficiency. M. BERRYER, a decided Royalist of the old school, delivered a powerful speech in the sitting of Tuesday against the address. Though a zealous supporter of Don CARLOS, he failed not to denounce in the strongest terms the shuffling, temporizing policy of France. Perhaps that policy was never better exposed to the contempt of Europe than in the following ex tract from his speech : " There are but two things possible to establish in Spain—Don Carlos or democracy. The present Ministry dislike both. How can they then intervene ? Opposition would like democracy in Spain, but cannot intervene for this. Why, then, everything is impossible—the Ministry can do nothing—Opposition can do nothing—Spain nothing. From this springs the equivocal terms, the vagueness of the address. You speak in the address of executing the Quadruple Alliance. The Minister tells you he is bound to nothing by the Quadruple Alliance. It was made to expel Don Carlos from Portugal, and to let him establish himself in Spain. Very natural. He was a poor fugitive in Portugal ; to expel him was easy. But in his own coun try, surrounded by his partisans, you dare not execute the Quadruple Alliance, as far as it regards him. The sublime of the Treaty—according to M. Mole —was, that it en gagea France to nothing. And the great merit of the illustrious Talleyrand was to have signed this empty parchment. When Don Carlos did reach Spain, additional articles to this nothing of a treaty were concluded. And these were nothing too—nothing more for France than to keep the police of the frontier. Yet, Gentlemen, you make a solemn address, telling Ministers to adhere to this shadow of a treaty, in which the noble task of France is to play the gend'arme. Ah how degraded is France since the epoch of 1817. Even this mean task of shutting the frontier is hurtful as well as disgraceful. You have given England the noble part of the treaty. She secures her own interests exclusively in Portugal, and through Portu gal in Spain. And the treaty is a permission of activity to England ; to France a condemnation to shameful self abandonment. Yet the address bids the Ministry to per severe in adhering to such a treaty. For Heaven's sake, if you are against intervention, don't vote this. If you are for it, vote something more. The address contradicts it self—it is absurd as the expresssion of any one opinion or party in this Chamber. You make vows. Vows ! they are to be made by individuals, but it is disgraceful to a great nation to utter vows. It is derogatory to the national dignity." In this paragraph M. BERRYER has given expres sion to the sentiments of nine-tenths of all the people of this country, who take an interest in the state of public affairs in France. There is not an individual here who has read the address, and taken the trouble to express .an opinion about it, by whom it is not con demned as the absurdest of all conceivable productions. But how has it happened that all the orators who have yet opposed the article on Spain have declined to move an amendment upon it in some shape or other ? Something more than speeches are wanted to effect a change in the policy of the Cabinet. There is no other news of any interest in the Paris Journals. Letters from Bayonne state that the Chris tinos are making preparations for a grand and general attack upon all the Carlist fortifications in the Basques. In a few days, we expect to receive accounts of the commencement of active hostilities. We regret we cannot find space to-day for the Re port of the important discussion which took place yes terday at the Middlesex Sessions, on the Appeal of the Parish of St. George, Hanover-square, against the County-rate ; and we prefer the delay of one day to giving an abridged report on a subject which affects the interests of every householder in the county of Middlesex, as well as the County-rate payers through out the kingdom. We shall insert the Report, with our observations on it, in to-morrow's Sun. We have received the whole of the French journals of Tuesday. During the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, M.GUIZOT, Minister of Public Instruction, delivered his speech in favour of the ad dress, and in opposition to his ex-colleague, M. TIMERS. GuizoT's speech on this occasion was one of the very worst he ever delivered : it left every im portant point in the oration of the ex-Minister entirely untouched. In substance it amounted to this : That French intervention in Spain would necessarily involve the country in the expense of keeping a large armed force in the Peninsula during the minority of ISABELLA 11. That as that could not be contem plated, a less comprehensive system of intervention would be impracticable, and if practicable would be useless. That were these things not so, France would still decline to interfere, because she could derive no advantage from intervention. The Government would always take care of French trade ; and as for the friend ship or the hostility of Spain, under a despotic or a de mocratic form of Government, France could well afford to despise both. When Spain was the ally of Austria the case was different, but now that she stands iso lated and contemned by the other great Powers of Europe, it is of no moment to France whether she be honoured with her friendship or her enmity I But we shall afford the French Minister of Publix Instruction an opportunity of developing his own views in his own words. A single extract from his speech will answer this purpose : " There were equal reasons in the state of Spain to show that it was not the interest of France to 'meddle with that country. Of old, Spain was linked to Au.sitria and the great European Powers : now it is isolated and powerless to help or harm us. Another argument alleged was, that in ceasing to co-operate we lost the English alliance. This would have immense weight with me, for I believe the English alliance our prime interest ; and in 1535 we were told not to interfere, lest we should injure this alliance. He could not believe that the alliance between two great nations could be affected by causes such as these, which, change from year to year, especially such an alliance as that. between England and France, founded on sympathy, sentin2eint, interest, and on which the peace of Europe depended. France and its Government were attached to the English. alliance, but not subservient. They kept their freedom as England pre served hers. But then, it is said, you allow England to gain exclusive influence in the Peninsula. On this subject look at the past, at 1823, and still further back, and you will find that services rendered to Spain have produced neither advantage nor gratitude. Fear not but we shall take care of our commercial interests. It is ar gued that it is our own cause, that of the Revolution of July, for which the struggle is going on in Spain. We admit this. But we have for six years supported our policy and our system by peace and moderation, and we will con tinue it. Europe is no longer under the absolute impulse that it was. Counter-revolutionary projects have died away, because in France revolutionary projects have disappeared. Everything is the reverse of the state of things in 1791. And the grandeur of the July Revolution 'is to have ac complished this. People would force us from this path— would embark us again in revolution—would place us at the tail of the insurrection of La Granja, to give it ear support. There is no similarity between the Revo lution of La Granja and that of July. The legitimacy of this last revolution only -commenced after the ordon nance of Charles X. He hoped for the success of the Constitutional cause in Spain. He would not credit the success of Don Carlos. But even if he did succeed, and did reign at Madrid, Ferdinand had reigned there before him, since the Revolution of July, and the circumstance had not disturbed or menaced our liberties." M. GUIZOT braves, insults, and affects to: despise the Spanish Government. In his speech he speaks of Spain as " thrice conquered" by France, under Louis XIV., NAPOLEON, and Louis XVIII. ; and he taunts the nation with its inability to resent any course which himself and his Colleagues may think proper to adopt towards it.

THE MAILS.--Yesterday we received our country letters and papers at the usual hour, being the first time since our communications with the provinces were inter rupted by the late snow storm. According to a statement published in the Moni teur Algerien, the losses of the French army during the expedition against Constantine were as follow :—Officers, 4 dead, 7 killed, and 17 wounded ; sub-officers and soldiers, 160 dead, 209 killed, 74 missing, and 288 wounded. THE FORCE OF CONSCIENCE.—The following note, with the inclosure named, has been received through the Blackburn post office, by a gentleman of Accrington, whose father has been dead 21 years :—" I hereby restore to you five pounds, about which sum I think I wronged your father, by acts of injustice. This would have been done sooner if I had known where you lived. A. PENITENT SINNER.—May God make you a partaker of his grace." It is in contemplation to bring forward Mr. Ward, the Member for St. Albans, as a fit person to represent Newcastle at the first election that may occur. Letters have been received from our gallant repre sentative Captain Berkeley, dated on board the Hercules in Cadiz Bay, announcing that he hopes to be in England soon after Christmas, and as all chance of active service is over in that quarter (if the ship still continues there), he bas applied for leave to return home, that he may be enabled to attend to his parliamentary duties. The Hercules is hourly expected at Plymouth.—Gloucester Paper, CHANCERY COURT.-(THI S JUDGMENT.-EDWARDS V. KYNASTON. In this case, which was an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, allowing the demurrers which had been put in to the plaintiff's bill for want of equity and mul tifariousness, his Lordship dismissed the appeal with costs, and confirmed the judgment of the Conrt below. IN RE LUDLOW CHARITIES. Mr. TEMPLE applied to his Lordship to allow this case to stand over till to-morrow. The bankers having sent up the deeds, the solicitors had gone to deposit them in the Master's office ; and he believed this would prevent the necessity of any further argument. Mr. KNIGHT said, that the deeds being produced, there would be an end to the question ; but he wished to state on behalf of Lord Powis and Mr. Clive, for whom he ap peared, that they were not at all mixed up with these transactions ; they happened to be named as petitioners, but they had no documents of any description relating to the matter in their possession, and had had nothing what ever to do with the deeds in question. The deeds had been deposited with the bankers in Mr. Clives' name, without his knowledge or consent ; and as soon as he heard of this, he desired the bankers to deposit them with the Master. The Loan CHANCELLOR said, nothing could have been more proper than that step. The case was then ordered to stand over till tomorrow. VICE-CHANCERY.--(THIS DAY.) His HoNoun was occupied the whole of the morning with motions devoid of interest. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) BANK OF ENGLAND V. WESTMINSTER BANK. Sir F. PoLLock appeared at the sitting of the Court this morning to apply for an injunction against the Westminster Bank. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped the Court would ap point Saturday for the hearing of this application. Sir F. POLLOCK did not see upon what ground his Learned Friend could interfere on the present occasion. The Court of Common Pleas, upon a case sent to it by this Court, had decided in favour of the plaintiffs, and he therefore considered the present application almost as a matter of course. Lord LANGDALE-I cannot grant the injunction as a matter of course. I must hear the defendants on the reasons assigned for the judgment of the Court of Common Pleas, because, after all, I must act on my own judgment, assisted as it may be by the opinion of the Court of Com mon Pleas. If you press for it, I won't say that you have not a right to be heard now ; but even then, it will be for me, after I have heard all you have to urge, to say whether I will hear them immediately, or give them any time they may ask to prepare their arguments. The best way would be to have a day fixed which would suit both sides. Saturday next was ultimately fixed for the further hear ing of the plaintiffs' application. After a few motions of no public interest were disposed of, the arguments were resumed in the part-heard case of Fielder v. Fuggle. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The COURT was occupied this morning in hearing Counsel on a new trial motion, in an action of ejectment. It did not possess any point of public importance. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have received Charleston papers to the 11th of De cember. They only mention that sales of damaged goods were daily taking place at Heywest from the wrecks of the ships Ajax and America, both vessels having bilged with a large quantity of merchandize on board ; also that no re cent intelligence had been received from the expedition against the Indians under Lieut. Powell. We have Madras papers to the 18th of September. By the last accounts from Penang and Singapore, we learn that Capt. Strud, of his Majesty's ship Andromache, has been very successful in his operations against the pirates. We learn from Calcutta that Lord Auckland had for warded 1,000 rupees to the Captain of the Windsor, to be distributed among the jlnior officers for replacing their kits. The Calcutta Courier of the Ist Sept. says, " We learn that the Jeypoor trial terminated on Saturday the 10th July, when the following verdict was returned :—That the whole of the charges preferred against the prisoners as set forth against each of them, individually, in the several in dictments, are fully proved, 'and the Court, do accordingly pronounce the prisoners guilty, and sentence them to suffer death as the penalty of their crime."

Mr. Hay's resolution to that effect was carried by 85 to 9. The House was engaged, on the 3d, on a motion by Mr. Draper, for disposing of the Clergy Reserves. The general impression seemed to be, that they would be sold, and the proceeds divided among the principal religious denominations, in proportion to their number. THE FUNDS.

Letters have been received from Bilboa this morning of the sth inst. Up to that period, 30 cannon had been brought into that town, part taken and part found buried in the snow. Espartero was making every preparation to commence hostilities, which was expected would take place efter his interview with General Evans, who was to have left St. Sebastian on the 10th inst. to arrange with him the plan of operations. Consols, which were very buoyant in the early part of the morning, and reached at one period 911 for the Ac count, are not so good at present ; the market has taken rather a heavy turn, and Consols have receded to 91i for the Account. This decline is not attributed to any unfa vourable news being received, but parties realizing their profits. Money appears plentiful, both for commerce and speculation.

SHOPLIFTER IN HIGH LIFE..—A French lady who resides in William.strcet, and is supposed to be worth 50,000 dollars, was lately detected in stealing a cap from a store, after having previously stolen another cap from another store. One of the police officers went to her residence and found a room, the floor of which was covered with a most incongruous assortment o f it em s—d ea d fowls, ladies' shawls, gentlmen's caps, cakes of soap, Caro lina potatoes, pieces of muslin, and an almost endless variety of small matters of one sort or the other, which, as she could have had little or no use for, it is supposed they have been all or the greater part of them stolen. She was held to bail,—New York Paper. The Gazette of Tuesday night publishes the decree of the Portuguese Government, for the abolition of the African slave trade. By the third article of the decree, any planter, whether native or foreigner, who removes from one part of the Portuguese dominions in Africa to another, is exempted from the operation of the articles against the exportation and importation of slaves. Mr. F. G. French, a respectable coachmaker, died at Colchester oh Friday last, under very distressing circum stances. He was on Tuesday confined to his bed with an attack of influenza, and rose to take a draught which had been sent him by his medical attendant. He, however, drank some hartshorn by mistake, and was almost choked. The usual remedies were used by two medical gentlemen without delay, and they left him under no apprehension of danger, as he stated he had swallowed only half a table spoonful. Unfavourable symptoms, however, again and again presented themselves, and lie expired on Friday in spite of all that could be done for him. SUN EXPRESS EXTRACIiRDINARY. EXTRACT OF A LETTER. English Newspaper Office, Paris, Jan. 17. DEAR SIR,—It was not until after the arrival of your extraordinary express at half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, with copies of your Sunday edition of The Sun, containing the proceedings at the Glasgow banquet in honour of Sir Robert Peel's installation, that I received by the ordinary Post-office estafette, your letter of the 13th of January, written in London, at the very moment when the Lord Rector elect was in the act of delivering his after dinner speech to the Conservatives of the North, so that the continental branch of your series of expresses made such good speed compared with the English mail, the Go vernment steamer, and the French malle estafette, as to save all the time that had been consumed in writing the report, in bringing up the manuscript to town, in preparing it for press, and in printing and dispatching it. It is true that the storm in the Channel had caused the mail due in Paris on Sunday to fail altogether, and had retarded that of Monday by two or three hours ; but after making the most liberal deduction for this accident in your favour, the feat you have achieved is justly considered by those who are best versed in such matters, to be far beyond all prece dent. I need not assure you that the papers were not many minutes in my possession until they found their way to most of the regular readers of The Sun in this capital. I enclose the extracts from Galignani's Messenger, the Paris Sun, the Courtier Francais, the Journal du Commerce, and the Quolidienne. To-morrow I shall do the like by any other papers that may have availed themselves of your express. The Suns, with special addresses to the King the French, the British Ambassador, the Minister of the Interior, and Lord Lyndhurst, were delivered instantly on the arrival of the express, as were also copies for the Pre sidents of the two Chambers, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Duke of Sutherland, and a number of other distinguished individuals.—Yours, faithrully, Agent. EXTRACT OF A LETTER. BOULOGNfi, JAN. 16.—DEAR SlR,—Your express ar rived here on Sunday. As no one was at our Office at the time, half an hour was lost before it could be for warded. Measures were, however, immediately adopted for its dispatch, and the courier enjoined to travel quickly.'.. It was not until after the express had been dispatched that your letter of the 13th, advising us of its intended arrival, came to hand. If this letter had reached us as it ought to have done, the evening before, we should have had time to have made the necessary preparation, and thus have pre vented the delay taking place. Blame ought to be attached to the English Captain, who, on other occasions, has been the cause of similar delay, by persisting in going to Calais instead of coming to Boulogne. The mail of the 14th arrived here yesterday (the 15th), and entered our port without any difficulty ; and the Captain who had your let ter might, of course, have done the same, if he had not thought proper to prefer going to Calais.—Your's faithfully, * * * By the kindnes3 of the conductors of the London jour nal, Tke Sun, we have been favoured with an express copy of that journal published on Sunday morning, with an account of the dinner at Glasgow, and the speech of Sir R. Peel, which was dispatched to Paris by express. This is not the first time the spirit and enterprise of the proprietor of our London Contemporary has called forth our acknowledgments, but the rapidity with which this account was transmitted from Glasgow, and pub lished in The Sun, appears unexampled ; the distance of that City from the British Metropolis amounting to 404 miles, and the speeches reported having been delivered, many of them, at a late hour on Friday night. We regret that the large portion of our columns already this morning devoted to Sir R. Peel, being the report of his admirable inauguration address as Lord Rector of the University, compels us, in justice to the important intelligence which at this moment presses upon us from many points, to defer inserting the account of this Conservative ban quet until our next publication. The banquet hall erected for the occasion appears from the description to be one of the most magnificent temporary edifices ever raised in so short a time. The company amounted to about 3,500 persons, Henry Monteith, Esq., in the Chair, supported by nearly ail the distinguished Conservative Noblemen and Gentlemen in North Britain. The speech of the Right. Hon. Baronet was received with th e utmost enthusiasm. After a well-timed and graceful appeal to the national. feelings of the company, he introduced the subject of Re— form, the Ministry, and their supporters, against whom heo called upon the loyalty of those around him to defend their ancient institutions. The Right Hon. Baronet, ii con— demning revolutions, quoted the noble passage in M. Guizot's late address to the Institute, in which that States— man described the morals of society in revolutionised France ; and also quoted M. Tocqueville and other authorities, upon the United States ; and, contrasting the proud pre-eminence , of England with her ancient Constitution of King, Lords,. and Commons, with the position of other countries, he con— jured them to stand by their native land, their old establish— ments, their ancient faith. This address was responded to by long demonstrations of adhesion, which continued for some time after the Right Hon. Baronet had resumed his seat. Several other gentlemen afterwards addressed the company, and a number of Conservative toasts were given, after which thvompany separated.—Galignani's Messen ger of Jan. 17. We yesterday received from the office of the London Sum, a Sunday edition, published by the spirited proprie.- tors of our liberal namesake —containing eight columns and a half of the proceedings at Glasgow on Friday last, at the complimentary dinner to Sir Robert Peel, as the newly elected Lord Rector of Glasgow University. The dinner commenced at about half-past five, and if we consider the' mastication to have occupied an hour and the speechifica tion five hours and a half, we shall bring our time account to midnight of the 13th. Suppose the copy of the reporters prepared in six hours, and that this copy left Glasgow at 6 a.m. on the 14th, on its journey of 404 miles to the Bri tish metropolis. When the intelligence reached The Sum Office in London, it had to be composed, read, corrected, and printed. This must have occupied at the lowest cal culation eight hours ; and as we received our copy of The London Sun at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the express can only have had 50 hours for its transmission of the re port 650 miles (from Glasgow, by London, Dover, and. Boulogne, to Paris)—which is at the rate of 13 miles per hour for the entire distance—delays, and accidents of every description, inclusive. This needs no eomment ; and, least of all, in a country where men, horses, and vehicles are made for the roads, instead of the roads being made for them. We subjoin the speech of the honoured guest ; and hope we shall be considered fairly to have discharged our duty as caterers for all tastes, in this arrangement of our overflowing supply of interesting intelligence. After the routine toasts had been disposed of with due honours, ver bal, musical, and vociferous, the Chairman (Henry Mon teith, Esq., of Carstairs) proposed the health of Sir Robert Peel, which announcement was received with loud cheers, which continued for several minutes.—Paris Sun of Jati. rt. PARIS, JAN. 17.—We received an extraordinary num ber of The Sun published on Sunday morning, and s ent hitlicr by Express. It contains a full report of the pro ceedings, not only at the installation of Sir Robert Teel as Lord Rector, but also at the banquet at which that States man was entertained at Glasgow on Friday evening.--- Journal du Commerce. The promised express of The Sun newspaper, with the speech of Sir Robert Peel at the Glasgow dinner, which was expected in this city last night, did not arrive until this day at 2 o'cloek. The bad state of the road over a dis tance of nearly GOO miles, has no doubt impeded our con temporary's arrangements. As it is, however, we may consider it the most unprecedented despatch that has ever occurred, and the proprietors of The Sun have in this in stance eclipsed themselves by their extraordinary exertions. Owing to the arrival occurring as we were going to press, it is impossible to give more than the following brief ac count of this glorious meeting.—Western Luminary. We believe that The Sun was the only London paper of Tuesday evening last that reached Jersey, with the' Brevet Promotions" by Thursday's packet. In consequence of which, the members of one of our reading rooms requested the proprietor to accommodate them with that Journal in future, instead of the Globe, or the Courier. For our own parts, from an experience of several years, we are satisfied that The Sun is decidedly the best of the Metropolitan eve ning papers, and it would appear, by the following an nouncement, that its spirited proprietors are determined to maintain its high character for energetic despatch and priority of intelligence. " During the Eventful Session now at har4 The Sun will endeavour to outdo its former ext. ertions, in giving the very latest and fullest Reports of Par liamentary Debates, up to the hour of post, and, when ne cessary, by express on all the great Lines of Road."-- - Jqrsey Argus. For no early copy of Sir R. Peel's Speech, we are its debted to the spirited exertions of the proprietors of TN' Sun. The speeCh was delivered in Glasgow on Fridiri evening, and was published in London--a distance o f 4040 miles, in an extraordinary edition of The Sun, soon after midnight on Saturday! We are sure that exertions like these cannot fail to be duly rewarded by the public—Ha" lifax Express, NI Ns a 1-
