From the evidence adduced it appeared that in June, It lBsl , while plaintiff's cab was on Tower-hill, a car or igg o n belongi ng to the defendant came in collision Witt, it, and did considerable damage. The witnesses differed in opinion as to whether the accident occurred through reckless and furious driving., or whether the de fendant's horse ran away. The descent of the hill was Stated to be very steep, and that if, from any cause, a bore() with a vehicle attached started, it would be difficult t stop it.

No. CCCXXIV. THE LATEST PARTICULARS CON ( 7ERNING THE CESA.RE Mil. CLEARVVELL, &c. TO TILE EDl7'oli OF THE SUN. SlR,—The present week has only a couple of meet ings allotted to it: the one at head-quarters commencing to-day, and finishing ou Friday; and Perth on Friday and Saturday. The lormer, of course, will monopolise all attention. The fiPL! for the Royal Stakos will consist of LONG IIJNY. 1; Glenluce, or Pood!e, 2; Ilex, also, may run. Tht , Cit-arwell Stakes it is reported, will have the following at the post:—Orinoco, Estrella, Filbert, The Friar, Talfcurd, Ineens-, Mayfair, end one from Day's statde. Unihriel doe; Lot rui , ; and Stttingbourne, it is said, will he placid in the stne category; c(.ns, , quuntly 1511,11 look to ORINOCO and ESTRELLA to fid the first and sueußri places ; and expect to see Filbert very handy. _ . f The field for the Cestrewitch Sakes will be com , posed of Lsdy Ariosto, z), Joe Miller, Montsgue, Indian Warrior, Timid Fawn, Musician, Le I Jmf, Weathergage, L.dy Amyott, Marceioness, Knight of the Garter, King Charming, Conmore, Sharavogue, Phlegra, Merryman, Lindrick, Jullien, Mary Ann, Babette, and Dollond. The foregoing are all repleed eer;a . n starters. Th e li s t ma y b e i ncrea sed by one or two f - ons the following* batch of doubtful runners : Black Docter, Kiegston, Candlewick, Galvanism, King Pepin, Ilex, La Gaza.: Ladra, Richard Primmer, Ter magant, and the once tremendous favourite, Knight of the Shire. The public this time seem to bo upon the right scent ; for, unless Pble'ra wins, there is nothing that can, apparently, beat the money horses ; of whom there are no less thau Aix going to the post, to wit : Lady Evelyn, Ariosto, Indian Warrior, LeJuif, Weather gage, and Lady Amyott ; and to this lot, Phlegra, and, so far as calculation and information will allow one to arrive at a conclusion, the first three places must be filled by horses taken from this batch. Lady Evelyn has been doing her work regularly, and goes free as air; her friends are very confident of win ning, and Butler, I undersiand, has the mount. Ariosto enjoys the unlimited confidence of Messrs. Payne and Greville and a select circle; and not without reason, as he could not be fitter than he is. His weight, compa ratively to the other cracks, being favourable, and tooled by that first-rate artiste, Nat, he must obtain a place at the very least. Indian Warrior is a perfect picture as far as condition is concerned. He has been supported rather stiffly by his owner and immediate friends, but, comparatively with the other cracks, is very badly in. Le Juif's trial was of such a character as to make the race all but a certainty for him; as, giving weight to Doubt, he left,her and two or three others dead beat far away. His party have invested their cash in a manner which apeeka conclusively of their opinion of the trial. Weathergage's last trial was also of a first-rate description; and determined Mr. Parr and his party on supporting him strongly. Lady Amyott in her trial also accomplished wonders, beating Candlewick, Kite flyer, and another by ever so many lengths. Now as Kit flyer's performance at Chester was undeniably a first-rate one, his being defeated by Lady Amyott in the trial proclaims her chance to be anything but a forlorn one for the Cesarewitch. Phlegra shall be, what sport ing writers are very fond of calling their outside fan&es, "my cockboat." I have a notion that she will run very well indeed; she is in good condition, and doing strong work. My opinion with respect to the winner is the same as given last week; that is, LE JUIF or ARIOSTO, with a splendid race between the two ladies and Weather gage for the other places.—l am, Sir, &c., Oct. 11.

TO THINK OR NOT TO THINK. This is the title of a pamphlet lately issued in refer ence to the expulsion of students from New College, St. Jobn's-wood, on account of their theological opinions. With the religious views of parties, we, as journalists, have nothing to do, but it seems as if the commotions upon religious subjects were only growing, and will eventually, we trust, work out for good to society at large. Truth has ever survived the struggles and contentions of men, and will continue so to do. The defence of the pure essence of religion is the noblest, dearest standard under which to struggle, and it is a saddening sight to see frail man dictating to his frail brother as to the measure, form, and style of his thoughts. The writings of our ancient philosophers and thinkers must shuffle off whatever crudeness they may be clothed in, and be re-clothed and re• dressed with new growth and brighter utterance. There are sectarians who, acting as autocrats, would drag down and smother the thinking powers of a man when he would endeavour to soar higher. The aspirations of the spirit are not limited to space, form, or shape. The soul of man is free, and he who uses himself aright will think earnestly, yet humbly. We are all aware of the number of doctrines and theories which have been exploded and blown to the winds by the honest thinking and deep research of men to whom society is a debtor. It is with a desire to further the cause of truth and progress that we would advise our readers to peruse the pamphlet. It is from the pen of a Mr. White, of Bedford, written in a vigorous, homely, and manly style. It states the expulsion of three students from the college referred o, to be in consequence of their holding what are there considered unorthodox opinions, but which opinions were previously propounded and endorsed in the Biblical Review a few years since by the very men who have expelled them. It charges the officials of the college with either acting falsely, or cancelling the very opinions upon which perhaps some of them attained the position they now occupy. There is enough bigotry in the world without adding to it. The expelled acted honestly, and we would even add nobly in avowing at once their opinions. The quota tions from Milton, Shakspere, and Tennyson are in every way apposite. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Thank the Gods! justice has been speedy as well as sure, and the latest profanity attempted against this venerable temple of the drama has been expiated by the untimely demise of Mr. B o lt on ' s a b ort i ve auda city. So much for the entrepeneur, but, alas! for the company. Although it gri eve s, y e t i t b y no means surprises us to learn That not a hand on the establish ment got a shilling at the expiration of their week's labour. How any of them suffered th e mselves to be inveigled into the concern, in the face of such ante cdetits as ought to have been sufficiently noto rious to the profession in all its branches down to su pers and all, is rather marvellous. Really the com mittee ought not to countenance the chousiog of ac tors, the desecration of this noble theatre, and the flagrant insult offered to the playgoing world, by in viting them to witness performances that ought to be pelted off the boards of a barn, for the sake of pocket ing a paltry week's rent. They must have known that the " manager" in this instance is a wight who is possession of the ring of Gyge9, so that when after weary day rehearsals and night appearances his un fortunate dupes attend the treasury, and find "no effects" as their consolatory greeting, they may . far more profitably employ themselves in hunting for a needle in a bundle of hay, or studying to Fquare the circle, or chasing a pig with a soaped tail, than in striving to catch hold of that which is as impalpable as thin air. Now this sort of game must be put an end to as an intolerable disgrace and nuisance, and a scandalous and heartless cruelty; and we warn all such gentry as go dodging about vacant theatres in London on the humbugging system, that we shall keep a sharp look after their proceedings. Let them and their countenancers look to it, and we feel assured we shall not stand unassisted in this determination by the contemporary press. HAYMARKET THEATRE. An adaptation of a little Parisian piece,called Une Idee Fixe, and which i n the original was neith er ver y brilliant nor very intelligible, was produced on Sa turday evening. Mr. B uc k s tone's comic agility and immense flow of drollery rendered tolerable an affair possessing in itself neither humour, character , nor in telligible incident. The excellent actor who played the droll lawyer's clerk in The Lady I Adore—as how many droll lawyers' clerks bas Mr. Buekstone personated—managed to infuse life and spirit into the inane production, and, by the quaint delivery of catch words and those odd turns of expression which Mr. M. Morton knows so well how to write, as well as by his blundering in a fashionable ball-room — whither he is sent by a hoax, but where he contrives by pure inad vertence to rescue a couple of ladies from the clutches of a Polish swindler, whom they believe to be a Mol davian count—combines to brighten up the two or three scenes of which the piece is c omposed. There is a want of all coherence and interest in the plot, which makes the position of the actor one of real dif ficulty, but the style in which Mr. Buckstone extri cated himself from the awkwardness, and kept the attention and laughter of the house alternately on the alert, was itself a work of art. His account of being run away with by an old hunter and carried into the midst of the hounds, and his droll embarrassment when the servant takes away his bat in the ball room —not, however, before a solemn promise is exacted that he will faithfully return it—these two passages, managed with all Mr. Buckstone's drollery, were pro bably the best of the piece. There was some applause at the fall of the curtain. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY.

ACCIDENT TO THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—A cor respondent mentions that the Lord Chancellor met with an accident on Wednesday. in the vicinity of his residence, Boyle Farm, Surrey, which, although not attended with any serious injury to the Noble and Learned Lord, was likely to have proved of a very different character. His Lordship was taking his accustomed airing on horseback, attended by his groom, when it commenced raining, and on putting up an umbrella the horse began to rear, and his Lordship was thrown to the ground. Beyond receiving some rather se vere brui ses , th e N o ble Lord was not otherwise hurt.

The fourth is the throwing a sop to the farmers, the shipowners, the colonial planters, by robbing the public for their benefit, because that will secure the support of the squires, the mercantile marine, and the colonies. Knowing that self-interest is much more zealous and active than patriotism, and that the great body of th e p eo pl e ca nno t f ee l that concern in public affairs which is ex perienced by those whose private fortune and pecuniary income directly depend upon the management of State a ff airs, th e Mi n i stry, as repre sented by the manifesto of Mr. Henley, fall back on the support of those who will be moat active at elections, and are prepared to devote time, money, and social influence to the game of politics. Their rule is to be regulated, not by the will of the nation, or the rights of the great body of the people, but by secu r i ng the help of institutions and class interests to over bear and out-vote public opinion, and the general in terests of the country. They are to be a Ministry of resistance. They are to endeavour to obliterate the whole history of England between the time of Castlerea g h a nd the year 185 2 . Their function is to be that of a gr a n d jury resolved on ignor ing all bills that are brought up to them from d'etat the people. In a small way th e y w ill attempt a leisurely coup in the sh a p e o f s y s tematic reaction. They will fall back to the old policy of outvoting the commonalty of these realms by means of classes and bodies whose selfi s h interests are directly opposed to those of the nation at large. In short, they will rely upon material forces to bear down and crush public opinion, under the old stale pretext of " maintaining our vene rable institutions," cherishing" ships, colonies, and com merce"—" repairing the wooden walls of England" —darning T at is the the union-jack, plain English and feedi ng th e B r i t i s h —and we think that presumptuous fools who can venture upon offering such an insult to the nation merit no " fair trial" whatever. They are re actionists, and, therefore, revolutionists, who must be abolished to prevent their crushing us by a conspi racy of State stipendiaries. We must close our ranks at once—and vow that, whoever else may rule, such mischievous old women certainly shall not. Nay, we must go further. We think Lord John Russell was a great deal too apologetical to the traditions of the constitution at Perth. In professing his devotion to the existing organization of the State, he professed his object to be only to perpetuate by repairing it, by changing its shape, so as to adapt it to the progress of events. Substantially that proposition is totally futile and unfounded. The loyalty of the people to Queen Victoria is far greater than to George IV. ; but the power of the Crown is practically much less. The nobility, before the Reform Bill, especially at the be ginning,of the century, were greatly more influential in society, and by the Constitution, than they are now, when they have been outgrown by the mercan tile and manufacturing classes. The Church, before the repeal of the Test and Catholic Disabilities Acts, was far . more influential than it is now, when it is overshadowed by dissent. It is absurd to say that the Constitution is the same; or, indeed, that it is possible that a Constitution, or the organism of a state, can remain unchanged when society progress es, and the relative state of classes changes. The nation, the public, the interests which have no recogniti on in the economy of the State, are greatly more politically powerful than those sectional denominations by whose support public opinion was overruled ; and unless Lord John Russell is prepared recognize this to fact, and to cease coquetting with a bloated and cor rupt Church, and to temporize with an aristocr ac y which has not yet been taught its proper place, he is not the man for this crisis, nor the leader for the people.— Weekly Dispatch.

BETHLEHEM HOSPITAL. .The Co mm i ttee of Bethlehem Hospital meets, it is stud, to-day. Bentham and Sydney Smith, meu ho started from two different points of observation, and who were guided in their investigations by principles totally different, came nevertheless to the stone con clusion as to the value of committees in general. They both thought that as committees met to transact busi ness, the chance was that the transaction of the busi ness before the committee would fall solely into the hands of the most practical man. Experience too often comes in to bear testimony to the correctness of the decision of both philosophers. Committees generally serve as scapegoats for the sins of one or two practical men. In the case of Bethlehem the small committee seems to have resolved itself into one man ----the Trea surer, and his sins have been heavy enough. But there are times when the matters brought be• fore a committee are of such a nature that the slum bering responsibility of each member cannot fail t o be roused. His own personal feelings are excited, and he refuses to put his conscience in the keeping of another, and vindicates his own right to come to a conclusion at dto act upon it. The late exposures of the treatment experienced by lunatics in Bethlehem Hospital are of a nature to warrant each person in a I committee appointed to watch over the management of this institution to exercise his own individual judg ment. If the members do not feel this responsibility end act upon it now, we can scarcely imagine that they have paid, as they ought to have done, attention to the extraordinary evidence brought before Lord Shaftesbury, and published, from the secret report, for the benefit of the whole country in the columns of the Daily News. Nothing has been done to shake the validity of this evidence, and we have therefore the strongest right to expect that the committee to day will do their duty, and act upon information which has been brought before them. The committee will in the first place be struck with the insufficiency of the medical staff, as testified by the facts brought forward in the evidence to which we have alluded. The evidence of the Treasurer, the supreme officer of the establishment, will be sufficient to prove this part of the case. "1 state to you in can dour," said this chief officer of the establishment where all these cruelties have been perpetrated, " with regard to the medical staff, that I have never from the first been satisfied that I had a sufficient medical staff. / feel that one resident medical officer is not sufficient for so large an institution. I ought to have two resident ones, who should take the entire control of the whole establishment, and it should never under any circumstances be without one." Tbere are few persons who have read the evidence taken before the Commissioners in Lunacy who will not echo the wishes of the Treasurer (a reluctant witness, be it observed) on this point. The insufficiency of general supervision is the next point that must come under the notice of the com mittee. It is utterly impossible—to take one solitary case—that such scenes as were described in the Daily 2\ews of Saturday could have taken place under a system of government which included good super intendence. In that report we read that in one de• partment of the hospital fifteen at least of the female patients are stripped stark naked before they are put to sleep on straw. Such a state of things could never have grown up under a sufficient medical and general supervision. It is scarcely possible, after having read the evi dence published in our columns, and comparing it with evidence of a similar nature respecting other institutions, to avoid coming to the conclusion that when establishments of this kind are not preserved from possible mal-administration and corruption by subjecting them to the direct influence of public opinion, they must degenerate. We have had suffi cient proof of this assertion in the evidence brought before both Houses on the occasion of a committee being appointed to examine into the condition of pri vate mad-houses. These asylums, while they were not subject to public supervision and control, were the abodes not only of misery, but of crime. The Legislature has now practically thrown them open to public supervision, and the consequence has been, that although there have been a few instances of mal treatment, the general conduct of these institutions has been good. The public eye should be kept upon Bethlehem, and the press should report the proceed ings of its managing committee. Another point which will need the sedulous atten tion of the committee is the amount of restraint and confinement to which the patients are subjected. Nothing is so well established by the whole history of lunatic asylums as the principle that mere restraint does but little, whereas effective superintendence does much. Hanwell is a case in point. In that asylum there is no painful restraint, but there is constant vigi lance. In other words, good keepers and not iron bars are needed. The private asylums for paupers, might, in this respect, give lessons to Bethlehem Hospital. There is no point, however, more worthy of the at tention of the committee than the revision of the medical staff of the hospital. Every one who is ac quainted with the working of the public medical in stitutions in London knows that, in many instances, the medical names on the list of the officers give any thing but a true indication of the working force of the establishment. It is considered right and proper that each hospital shall have on its staff the names of as many celebrities as possible, and a committee will very frequently willingly dispense with the active services of an eminent medical man if he will but allow his name to figure on their list. It is notorious that in some instances such persons have allowed their names to be put down upon the sole condition that they are never to be called upon to act. This should not be allowed. One of the first steps towards making Bethlehem Hospital take its proper share in the medical treatment of lunatic patients, is the require ment of actual duties from each member of the staff. Let there be more doctors for work and less for show. It may be impossible to get the great medical authorities in cases of lunacy to give up a larger portion of their private practice in order to attend to a public asylum, but this difficulty may be met by increasing the number of working medical men, and leaving to the others the duty of actual superintend ence. So much for the details which it will be the duty of the committee to investigate to-day. In the mean time it must be remembered that a no less important duty devolves upon the City of London. The city is the guardian of Bethlehem and its patients, and it is incumbent surely upon all those who have so im portant a trust, to take care that none hut good and fitting men should be chosen to fill important offices. An appeal to Parliament must be made if the city authorities are unequal to their duties. We speak now only of suggestions that may be acted upon to-day. It rests with the committee to atone for past misdeeds or to prepare for future and heavy condemnation. From the number of letters which have reached us upon the subject we feel how completely the general public sympathise with us in the desire to obtain better treatment for the unhappy patients confined in Bethlehem. One universal feeling of surprise and disgust has been manifested by those who now learn with startled horror how the 20,000/. a yenr is spent by the governors who rule over the lunatics in St. George's fields. It is difficult at first to believe such atrocities possible in a civilised country in the middle of the nineteenth century—to believe that the most pitiable of all human afflictions should subject i a victims to still heavier pangs—that those who have lost their reason and their liberty should be further punished to gratify the diabolical malice of the servants especially paid to wa t c h over their weakness, and to minister to their wants. The cruelties in Bethlehem have been so abominable, that it takes time to appreciate the full enormity of these offences against afflicted humanity. A still stronger feeling must inevitably succeed to that already existing on the subject, unless the committee take to-day such steps as will show a determination to prevent the recurrence of these madhouse sins and scandals in future. —Daily News.

THE MEETING OF PAELIAMENT.—That very re spectable authority, denominated " Rumour," has been cir culating with his hundred tongues during the week a state ment as highly probable that Parliament would be called together for the " Dispatch of Business" some week or two before the intended day, namely, the 11th A November. There is no authority whatever for this report, It is a mere guess. The subject of a change in the day ori;inally named has not been broached. It will be considerec fully at the first meeting of the Cabinet on Friday next, the 15th inst., and the result will be published at the Privy Council to be held at Windsor on the following Monday, the 18th. There is no more reason for supposing that the Parliament would be called together on an earlier day, beyond the impression that very generally prevails that the discussions and preparations for the funeral of the Duke of Wellington will naturally con sume a week or two of the time, already short enough, before Christmas for the very important decision for which the new Parliament is especially convoked. The question of a more early meeting than was first arranged will therefore very naturally arise. The arrangements for the funeral of the Duke of Wellington cannot possibly be completed under a fortnight, and every one feels that the time between the commencement of the ceremonies, and the last sad scene that will consign the illustrious hero to his final resting place on earth, would be no fitting time for party con fli ct. I t is im possible to foretell what decision the Cabinet will come to. Parliament together; but we believe it w ill t no, and that It is generally felt t hat an earlier day ought to be named f ur callingat the old arrangement will stand. There is evidently no haste to hurry on the important decision, so l o n g deferred, but which, with whatever reluctance, must come at last.-- Sunday Paper.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY, OCT. 10. By the clipper ship Bella we have advices from Pernambuco to the 9th tilt., being nineteen days later than those received by the last steamer. The Royal mail steamer Tay arrived at Pernam buco on the '2d ult., after a passage of 24 days, from Southampton. There is no political news of importance. The business transactions at Pernambuco, Maceio, &c., had been on a limited scale after the arrival of the Tay, her advices being unfavourable.

LON DON, THE REVENUE FOR THE No. I.—An Abstract of the Net Produce of the Revenue of G the 1 MONDAY WHAT DOES DERBY OFFER ? The lessen taught by the French Revolution of 1848 had been learnt, by anticipation, by Sir Robert Peel. His party desired, like Louis Philippe, to rule by mere marshalling and manoeuvring of Par liamentary majorities; and he, himself, had disco vered that all the power of the Legislature was ut terly worthless unless endorsed with the imprimatur of public opinion. It is true that, in the reign of Queen Anne, and even of Castlereagh, the masses had scarcely a political existence. They knew, in deed, little, if anything, of politics. Communication was, physically, difficult. The right of public meet• ing was practically ignored by the legal traps which surrounded the exercise of the privilege. Corre sponding societies were indictable for treason—so that the people were prevented from knowing and con ferring with each other. The press was virtually under a censorship of the Attorney-General, who, by ex-officio informations, could at any time turn the ar tillery of the law upon the most just, true, and neces sary exposures of Ministerial delinquency. The population was less than half what it is now ; and the same, or even a larger staff of persons in the pay of the State in the army, navy, customs, excise, church, law, and local magistracy, constabulary, &c., overawed the neutral p or ti on o f society in their respective neighbourhoods. Rotten boroughs and pocket counties existed universally, and a large military and militia force was kept perma nently afoot. But society has long outgrown th ese influences. Catholic and dissenting emancipation, re form, and free trade, have made them all of very small account. Dissent is too powerful to afford any play to the arrogant pretensions of the Church to as cendancy. The press is still in such a position that a single est officio information would hurl the Govern ment which directed it at once into irrevocable dis grace. The patronage of the State is reduced t o a sum of sixteen millions per annum ; and all sinecures, as well as many law abuses, are at an end. Even 13,000 established parsons are a very small and unin fluential body among twenty-eight millions of people, whose knowledge has been enlarged and wits sharp ened by cheap literature, railroads, and newspaper s o f a description infinitely superior in intelligence, ability, freedom of disquisition, size, and cheap ness to what they w ere e ve n at the beginning of the century. The nation far overshadows the slate. The British race has burst the bands and boundaries of its public institutions. The bulk of the population so overreaches the influences of the executive, that daily the power of Government by great families becomes less by the increasing forces of the popular momentum. The distribution of pee tronage in the hands of railway directors already amounts to nearly one-half of that at the command of the Queen's Ministers —and their influence in the House of Commons is not greatly inferior. We saw the Anti• Corn-law League, an empire within an empire, raising a large voluntary tax for the avowed purpose of dictating laws to the Legislature—and more lately we have witnessed the merchants of London shaking the late Cabinet to its centre by an onslaught on their management of the Board of Customs. It is true that the traditional methods of getting and keeping power superficially appear to be yet adequate to their purpose. The Church puts forth still a kind of galvanic energy and epileptic strength. Squires still arrange the representation of counties, and Peers overawe the boroughs which lie near their country seats. The plain non political public cannot be everlastingly pestered with party interests ; and, when the people sleep, politicians go to work. But whenever any great national question demands a settlement, woe to the Itlinister who ex pects to dispose of it in the old way of mere counting ofnoses. Now, it was the error of the late Ministr y that, although they got into office by preaching this doctrine, they utterly disbelieved it in power. It is true that Lord J. Russell, at Perth, once more un folded the old sound opinions on the philosophy of government on the progressive theory, which first led to the achievements of the reform party. Bat his declarations only convince us that his colleagues were opposed to and thwarted their leader—and that, for the sake of the mere Parliamentary support which they could bring him he committed the grave mistake of per mitting himself to remain in office with a set ofmen who had tamed their backs upon their professions. When they had given up the appropriation clause—resisted any inroads on the Reform Act, added largely to the public expenditure, and guarded profusion from re renchment—paid their court to the clergy, and pro tected the delinquents of the Church from merited retribution, they showed that they were contented to jog on with the old system of counting of noses, and hoping en a party division to have a " balance of in fluenza in their favour"—they had abandoned the idea of resting their rule upon popular support, by ceasing to propose anything worthy of popular sympathies ; and rather than fall back upon the nation by callin g into their councils that Radical party who represented public opinion, they threw up their cards, and handed the odd trick over to the Tories. We read Lord John Russell's statement at Perth as an implied exposure of this Ministerial disunion, and his exposition of the necessity of recognising and obeying the democratic spirit as a declaration that he never had any sympathy with the policy which was dictated by his Cabinet. At all events he and his party may rest perfectly assured that that policy and its abettors will never receive any countenance from the country again; and that unless he proposes to do homage to the advanced opinions of the Radical party, his own reign has finally closed. The Tories tell us that at last they have settled the principle upon which their Government is to be founded. Like Balsam's ass, they have been cudgelled until they have found a tongue, and mauled till they have begun to pro phesy. Mr. Henley's jaw-bone has been on this occasion chosen to smite the Pnillistines of Reform ; but,judging from the result ,the Samson who wielded it must have had his eyes put out before commencing the ap plication of his weapon. Conservatism, if this latest of its proclamations is to be credited, is to be just what old Tory ism was. It is to rule by material , forces, in contradistinction to moral and intelligent influences. It is to be that which Louis XIV. or Philippe relied upon, the mere brute powers of pa tronage, finesse, and state dependents. Its cry, like that of the crazy Red Republican, is to be "No nothing." It is to fight the battle of the constitution in Registration Courts ; which means, by sheer dint of attorneys, pettifogging in the list of voters, and grubbing for objections to electors before the revising barrister, it is to gain a Parliamentary majority, not by general acceptance by the nation of the Tory Government, but by quirks of registration law, and sharp electioneering practice; and then, being in a condition to reckon on a numerical majority in the Parliamentary divisions, it is to dispense with public ()pinion altogether. Mr. Henley has no idea of recon citing the House of Peers with the House of Com mons. No: his idea, and that, too, as a representa tive of the people, i 4, that the Commons most some how or other contrive to reconcile themselves to the registration of the decrees of the House of Lords. He gently hints that the Upper House will never consent to an extension of any modification of organic reform, by way of preparing the country for h his party's determination never to use the remedy pointed__e out by the constitution of creating new Peers. announces, therefore, the first Derbyite principle to be the inviolability and ascendancy of the draws a of the House of Lords, b ecause he a portion of his support in the Commons from that source. The second is resistance s toevery change in the Church, or any reform of i the parson, clerk, sexton,a . n . d beadle,t abuses,arebecause elec. tigneering staff lA , every Pari s h, and return so many Members to the House.

A court-martial will take place to-day, we under stand, on a warrant-officer belonging to her, for drunkenness.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Bittern, 12, Com mander Vansittart, arrived at Spithead this morning, and the Daring, 12, Commander Napier, arrived this evening, from the Nore. Each saluted the Comman der-in-Chief on bringing up. These vessels left the Nore in company at one P.M. on Friday, and had a trial of sailing on the way to see which should make Spithead first. In this trial the Bittern (one of Symonds's sloops) has shown great superiority over the Daring, having come to the anchorage about ten hours before the latter, which is the celebrated experimental brig built by White, of Cowes. The Bittern goes to the East and the Daring to the West PROVISIOES FOR THE NAVY. The following are the terms upon which the Government contracted last week for the yearly supply of beef and pork for the navy :—Beef, 3,050 tierces and 5,050 barrels; pork, 2,400 tierces and 2,200 barrels. The beef was taken at 51. 2s. 6d. to 51. 16s. per tierce for Irish, and 51. 16s. for American ; the port was taken at 51. 12s. to 51. 19s. per tierce for Irish, and 51. ss. for Hamburgh. Of this quantity Messrs. Allen and Anderson took 1,300 tierces and 800 barrels of pork, at 31. 17s. to 51. 18s. 10d., and 1,600 barrels of beef, at 31. 16s. Bd. to 31. 19s. l ld. A match between the yacht America and the new Swedish yacht Sverige (on a challenge from the owner of the latter), for 400/., is to come off to-mor row in these waters, provided a seven-knot breeze be blowing at the time appointed for the start (11 o'clock). The course is from Ityde through Spithead, 15 miles outside the Nab-light, and back to Hyde. This match was appointed to take place yesterday, but the stipu lated-for breeze not appearing, the trial was postponed until Monday. PLYMOUTH, OCT. 9.—The long-deferred official visit of the new Lords of the Admiralty is to take place on Monday, the 11th inst. Her Majesty's brig Linnet, 8, was placed at her moorings on Wednesday, masted on Thursday, and commissioned to-day for Commander Henry Need. The Seagull, 8, and Scout, 14, were docked on Thursday for breaking up. Thirteen hired labourers were discharged from the gun-wharf on Monday. The Cork Steamship Company's paddle-wheel steamer Prussian Eagle, Captain Tooker, from Lon don for Plymouth, was, at half past five o'clock on Friday morning, abreast of the screw Australian mail-packet Melbourne between the Needles and Beachy-head. The paddle-boat arrived at four roc, the screw at half-past five r.m., wind northerly. The Prussian Engle used her fore and aft foresail and jib; the Melbourne had her jib, forestaysail, fore and att foresail, mainspencer, and mizen. Captain Tooker reports a very large flet of outward-bound ships off Dungeness at six P.M. on Thursday. Between the Bolt-head and the Start tile Prussian Eagle observed floatit g on the water the body of a stout man in sandy red trouser!, white belt and boots, no jacket or cap. The Belfrit, Seem Company's screw steam-vessel 04car left Plymouth on her ordinary voyage to London on Sanday last, the 3,1 inst., wind blowing strong tram the southward. Off Beachy-bead, on Monday night, the master, Mr. D. M'Kinlay, was about to go below, when a heavy sea struck the ship ; he caught hold of the cabin door for security, but the hinges gave way and he was washed overboard, and never seen again. SDRERNE.Si, SUNDAY, EIGHT A.M.—Her Majesty's screw line-of-battle ship Agamemnon, 90, Captain Sir Thomas Maitland, has been warped to the swing ing moorings abreast the dockyard wall, preparatory to being placed underneath the shears in the fitting basin, to be masted. Two officers belonging to her have been sent to Plymouth and Portsmouth to open rendezvous for the entry of seamen. Her comple ment, inclusive of marines and marine artillery, is to be 820 officers and men. Her Majesty's ship London, 90, advanced ship, Cap tain G. R. Mundy, has entered upwards of 40 men, since ordered to increase her complement to 445. Her removal to Portsmouth for the winter is not yet posi tively determined on. Her Majesty's paddle-wheel steam-vessel Lizard left port for Chatham yesterday at nine A.M., and re turned in the afternoon with Mr. C. Morgan, chief clerk in the Pay-office, in charge of public money. Her Majesty's screw steam-frigate Aniphion, 34, has struck topmasts and sent down lower yards for the winter months. The screw steam guard•ship Horatio, 22, Captain the Hon. S. T. Carnegie, is making preparations for the same purpose. Both vessels will shortly proceed to the Mouse and back, to try their engines and machinery. The good service pensions enjoyed by Captains John Edward IValcot and James Hallway Plum ridge, as also the naval Aide-de•Campship, held by Captain Norwich Duff, are placed at the disposal of his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, First Lord of the Admiralty. By the death of the Rev. Hugh Salvia, Chaplain, R.N. (1823), the Greenwich Hospital living of Alston, in the gift of the First Lord of the Admi ralty, has become vacant, and must b. conferred on a naval chaplain, who, in addirion to the emoluments derived from the preferment, will still be in the re ceipt of his half pay. The committee of naval officers appointed to adju dicate on the relative strength of the " trial anchors' will embark on Thursday next in the Port-Admiral's yacht, and proceed to Woolwich, to be present at the breaking of the anchors on Friday and Saturday, the 15th and 16th inst.

It is specified in the grant that goods conveyed by these channels to the Baltic are not to be chargeable with Sound dues. The esti mates for the first section, as fixed by the statutes, show the cost to be 540,0007., or 8,3001. per mile, including land, rolling stock, stations, &c., ready fur efficient working. Advices from St. Petersburgh of the 2d instant state that owing to the large shipments of produce, and es pecially of tallow, the rate of exchange was again less fa vourable for this country. Freights were extremely firm, and there were no vessels disengaged. The details are also given of the failure of Podsossoff and Sons, the largest tallow dealers in that city. Their liabia.es are for 400,0001., but the creditors are chiefly local. The houses connected with England 10:e a little, but none more than 5,000/. M. Pod sossoff had other occupations, the principal of which was gold washing, and in this he is supposed to have sunk a largo capital, although the business is said to pay. If allowed to continue it, he hopes to meet all his debts in five years, but an immediate liquidation of his estate would yield, it is feared, only 25 per cant. The speculative losses by which the present event has been brought about must, it is presumed, have been spread over a considerable period. The Teviot Brazil mail steamer on Saturday took out spout 35,000/. in foreign gold coin for the River Plate. 1 . ~ ~~~~ \_ , •,; orted ered • urirg 8; is 1847, ?igs. 339 a 11$ .98 ;93 70 30 into is of
