It will be seen from what took place in the Chamber of Peers, that the present government is not likely to encounter any dangerons opposition in that august assembly. The Marquis de MI RA:FLORES moved certain unimportant amendments in the Address, which only served to show M. MENDI7ABAL the strength of the party upon whose support he has hitherto calculated. M. MEN DIZABAL himself rose, and for the first time addressed the Chamber. If we may credit the reports transmit ted by correspondents of the Liberal Press of Paris to that. capital, the tiew-President of the Spanish Ca binet, acquitted himself with much ability. Of the the existing relations between the Governments of Spain and Great Britain, the Minister spoke in terms of enthusiastic approbation ; and he particularly dwelt upon that generosity in the English Government, so remarkable in its pecuniary dealings with other States. As an instance of his confidence in the in tegrity of the British Government, be stated that, when he entered the Ministry, he found the country in a state of war—in such a state, in fact, that nothing but a general armament could save it from the ruin. with Which it was threatened. He adopted this plan ; but, wanting arms, he applied to the British nation for 100,000 stand of arms, without even inquiring what was to be paid for them, nor within what space of time. The British Government acceded to his re quest ; and in twenty-four hours after it was made by the Spanish Ambassador in London, the order was given for carrying the measure into execution. He belieVed that the British Government would not make a traffic with the Spanish nation. He ventured to af firm, that it would not require more than it bad ac tually expended for the supplies furnished to Spain. He took upon himself this responsibility. We need not add, that he will lose nothing by his confidence in British honesty and honour. The Chamber appeared to be of the same opinion, for no Member taxed the PRESIDENT with having acted imprudently. The address of the Deputies is as liberal as could be desired. We must wait its adoption by the Cham ber, however, before alluding to any particular passage contained in it. As its discussion will developc the strength of the different parties in the Procuradores, we look forward to the result with some anxiety. Should Ministers be found in a condition to carry their mea sures without apprehension in that Assembly, we should have little fear of the speedy regeneration of Spanish independence. One of the first Acts of the Peers has been to present the QUEEN withfive thousand suits of uniforms for the troops, at an expense to the donors of 15,0001. This magnificent pre sent has been graciously received by her MAJESTY. The .Peers by whom the purchase money has been subscribed pray the QUEEN to regard this spontaneous oft'gui c ,, '' ci of their good will as an earnest of their zeal , hmiuppert of the throne of her illustrious daughter - ti;LA 11. 4>. .•- , ' 446thday of the youiig QUEEN has been cele -4", qi ' 4reat public rejoicings in every • part of ( . .Z.;z:.: • ,:"-- '''?,4• W-P,.'''.--, Spain, not under the control of the vtl their rebels . )a rtizans. i The new levy goes on well ; but it is rumoured that the whole of the troops will not be ready to take ;'he field for two or three months. The march of the Portuguese Auxiliaries has not been countermanded, notwithstanding the recent change of the Lisbon Cabinet. The advices from the North received in Madrid were altogether very favourable to the cause of the QUEEN and Constitutional liberty. The fears of an armed intervention on the part of Russia or Sardinia arc not entertained by any Member of the Spanish GovernmEnt. The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Sa turday have been received. Their contents are unim portant. The public mind is still engaged with con-. flitting opinions relative to the probability of a war be tween France and the United States. The firing of a gun by the garrison of St. Helena at a French ves sel, called the Edmond, has excited some attention in Paris. It is stated that the gun was shot, and might have done some execution, had the vessel been within range. We presume the Edmond sailed nearer the island than the Governor could, according to his instructions, permit with impunity, and consequently he bad no alternative. The Court of Peers in its secret sitting of Saturday resolved that It connexion had existed between the conspiracy of Luneville and the insurrection at Pad% The condemnation of several of the accused was also agreed upon, andthe sentences were to be pronounced in the public sitting, which v,as to commence at four o'clock in the afternoon of that day. The Memorial Bordelais of the 2d inst. has the follow :—" We have before us a circular letter, addressed by D'on Carlos to the several foreign Cabinets. We shall not give it at length, because we conceive that our readers can have no desire to read his dull disquisition on the solidity of the ties which unite all monarchical and religious Govern ments. They already know the force and meaning of these two words in the mouth of a Prince so enlightened as Don Carlos. We shall give only the spirit of this document. The Vagrant Chancellery of his Majesty Charles the Fifth writes to the Chancelleries of the Holy Alliance, to inform them that all which has been said with regard to the retro grade dispositions of the Carlist Government, in case it should obtain dominion over Spain, is pure invention. That Don Carlos, far from having the least intention of establish ing absolutism, proposes to restore the system of his well-be loved brother, Ferdinand VII., a system which, according to his ideas, has rendered Spain so free, so happy, and so prosperous. All this is said with the most perfect gravity. This manifesto has nearly the force of the Proclamation we lately cited, and in which the clement Charles of Bourbon, as he is called by the Official Gazette got up in his camp, condescends to assure his faithful and beloved subjects that if he should gain a triumph, reaction under his Government shall be confined within the bounds of the law. The writers of the Carlist Chancellery are certainly very clever fellows." PARIS, DEC. 15.—The Journal de la Meuse, of the 3d December says, " A few days ago an individual was arrested at Etain, whom there are strong reasons for suspecting to be an accomplice of Fieschi. He is a stranger to our de partment." The Quotidienne of this morning says, " A letter from Madrid received at Paris to-day, announces that Mendiza bal is already completely out-flanked by the revolutionary party, and that it is in contemplation to make Mina Presi dent of the Council." We do not know what fate is reserved for Mendizabal in future, but at present his system triumphs in the Chamber of Proceres, and the project of the Committee of Procura dotes is far from being unfavourable to him. BREST, DEC. I.—Great numbers of seamen of the seve ral classes arrive at Brest. _ _ - - Orders have been received to arm the Her»zione frigate. The maritime Prefect in person inspected on Sunday last, the sailors of this division that are disposable for ser vice. It is said he will also go on board the several vessels to inspect the crews already embarked. The greatest ac tivity prevails in the port The several vessels belonging to the squadron of the Antilles, are successively departing. The following two pie,e‘ al., , tc ll ;aenee are not easy to be reconcilod - - -- " Since the arrival of M. Berlin de Vaux at Paris," says the Courrier Francais, " and from the dispatched which he has brought, the Government thinks that the expedition will not meet with any more resistance from Abdel Kadir than was expected. Quite contrary to this, a letter from Algiers, dated Nov. 24, written to the National, says, that accord ing to the reports circulated by the agents of Abdel Kadir, that Chief will not wait for the approach of the French army, and that he has taken the resolution to retire into the deserts.

A public Meeting of_the various Lincolnshire Agri cultural Associations took place on Friday last, at Lincoln, for the purpose of considering the propriety of joining the agricultural combination now in pro gress, for the formation of a central Agricultural Board in London. On this occasion Sir EDWARD BROOM 7 HEAD observed that lie objected to any such proposi tion, for he thought that " having a Meeting of depu ties residing in the metropolis, and coming from all parts of the kingdom, appeared to bear a most uncon stitutional aspect. It was something very like a Con vention, and afforded a dangerous precedent, which he feared might be used to their disadvantage." There is much good sense in these remarks, and the agricul turists will do well to lay them to heart ; though, if we may judge from the case before us, but little attention will be paid to them ; for the Lincoln Meeting, after a speech or two from Colonel SIBTHORP, neither wiser nor more foolish than usual, came unanimously to the resolution that it was both just and fitting that they should combine with the Cent/al London Asso ciation. In the report of the proceedings in the Court of Exchequer on Saturday, will be found the particulars of an important improvement in the form of summon ing juries to serve in the superior courts in West minster, which was submitted to Lord ABINGER by Mr. LESLIE of St. George's, Hanover-square, foreman of the jury. Mr. LESLIE suggested that the Sheriff' should be instructed to place on the panel the names of a great number of jurors, in every parish, more than it is customary to do at present ; that out of these names xhirty-six, or three entire juries, should be sum moned to attend for each day ; and that having served for one day these juries should be dis- THE SUN, LONDON, MQNDA V, DECEMBER 7, 1835 charged, and a like number summoned to dis charge the functions of Jurms on the day follow ing. By this means the labour would be subdivided, so as to give to every person legally quali fied, an opportunity of serving as a Juror, instead of throwing the whole burden on the .shoulders of a few individuals in each parish. Mr. LESLIE calculates that if his plan ware adopted, the time required for the personal attendance of each Juror. would not exceed one day in the year; whereas under the existing mode of summoning Jurors, he has himself been obliged to serve eleven days, from the Ist of November to Saturday last. Lord ABINGER promised to submit the suggestion of Mr. LESLIE to the consideration of the twelve Judges. We confidently trust that it will be adopted. Under the present system many tradesmen in London are great sufferers by being annually called away from their busi►less, for weeks together, to serve as Jurors in Westminster. Nor is if so much the ,umber of days which Jurors are called upon to serve that is the main subject of complaint. It is.the un certainty which attends the service and the being compelled to give unremitting attendance upon the Courts, that injures and irritates men of business habits, and pursuits. The Judges themselves are aware of this, and we have no doubt but that they will gladly adopt so simple and efficacious a remedy. The respectable tradesmen of London owe much to Mr. LESLIE for his well-timed, and very excellent proposal for amending this important branch of the Executive. We trust Government will take an early opportu nity of investigating the circumstances connected with the late melancholy shipwreck of the female convict ship Neva, by which upwards of two hundred and twenty-six lives were lost. This is the third catas trophe of the sort that has taken place within three years. The Amphitrite was the first that was wrecked ; next came the George the Third, and now we have the Neva; and we fear that in all these three instances it will be found that the frail and crazy nature of the vessels was one of the chief causes of their going to pieces. These matters should be thoroughly investi gated at head-quarters, for there is no principle of economy that can justify the wantonly sporting with the lives of so many human beings. We know not who is to blame ; but that there has been great remissness somewhere, is, we suspect, but too evident. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Wheat, Barley, Beans, and Flour, last week, were considerable ; of Oats, owing to the boisterous weather, the quantity was small. The trade during thc,week was heavy for every article. This morning there has been a good fresh supply of Wheat, Barley, and New Beans. The quality of the Whetit comes worse, being affected by the wea ther. A feW samples, firm and dry, maintained their value, hut other qualities arc Is. to 2s. per quarter lower. Barley, also, is full Is. per quarter cheaper. New Beans are declined Is. to 2s. per quarter, and many parcels of Ticks left unsold. The Oat trade is firm, having few at present here, and the demand has been slack, the buyers preferring to wait for fur ther arrivals. The Flour trade remains extremely dull, at the late low prices.

NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—SIX hundred quarter shares, which remained over the three thousand set apart for the holders of original shares, were tendered for and disposed of on Tuesday last, at par. A railway from Preston to Carlisle is projected. We regret to have to announce the death of M. Pelissee, one of the Directors of French Plays. The event took place on Saturday morning at his residence in Tich field-street. We fear that the bad success of the under taking during the past season, and the unpleasant conse quences resulting therefrom, have contributed to this early termination of a life which had been signalized by the amuse ment its possessor afforded to the dramatic world. The Jewess has -in its first eighteen nights drawn considerably more than 7,5001., a sum unprecedented in theatrical attraction. THE LATE STORMS.—The disasters at sea in the recent storms occupy a considerable portion of the Glas gotu Herald. Dreadful sufferings must await the crews of nine (or, according to another account, of eleven) whalers locked up in the ice. Some thieves attempted on Saturday night to break into Bridge-house, Vauxhall, occupied by Mrs. Waylett, no doubt thinking (the fair songstress being in Ireland) the house was shut up. The servant fortunately heard them, threw up the window, and her screams made them decamp, leaving one of their implements behind them. There have been numerous robberies in that quarter lately. On Saturday an inquest was held at the Castle Inn, Woolwich, on the body of Thomas Cuthbert, a con ict on board the Narcissus hulk, whose death was caused by a bone sticking in his throat. This took place on the 25th of last month, and all efforts to extricate the bone proved fruitless. From that time until Monday he could not swallow anything, and he suffered great pain. On that evening the bone was forced into the stomach, but inflama tion had ensued, and he died on Wednesday.—Verdict ac cordingly. This day is remarkable for being the anniversary of the sacrifice of Algernon Sidney, who was beheaded in 1683. It is also the anniversary of the day on which the unfortunate Marshal Ney was shot in 1815.

Although the sales appear small ,the mar ket is more firm, in consequence of speculators evincing a disposition to purchase low Ala bama under 7d., and a good deal has been thus cleared off. The Cotton Market has been rather dull and heavy this week. Considerable change has taken place in the value of new Boweds, which were selline , at 11 id last week, and are now worth only 10Id. The inferior sorts of American have also been sold at very low prices. They have been almost nominal of late, but 61d. to bid. was established for them, and indeed 6d. for very inferior. We reduce our quotation accordingly, observing, however, that middle and good fair qualities have not suffered to the extent of one eighth ; they and difficult of sale, but can hardly be called lower. The depression in Brazil and Egyptian has also been very trifling. More serious attention is beginning to be paid by mercantile men to the differences existing be tween the United States and France, and we trace some effects of this important subject in the withdrawal of se veral heavy lots of Cotton from the Market. This affair is of momentous interest to the Cotton trade, and deserves the best attention of all parties interested. Speculators have taken 2,100 American, and exporters 400 American, and 100 Surats, besides 800 Bengals forwarded to London. Sales this week, 17,070 ; imports in this week, 20,468 ; sales this year, 801,500 ; imports this year, 815,472 bags.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury.) • THE KING V. LUCAS, ESQ. , . This was an indictment against Frederick William Lucas, a gentleman residing at Kensington, for having indecently exposed himself in Kensington-gardens on the Ist of August No Counsel appeared for the prosecution, the witnesses being examined by the Court. For the defendant there ap peared the Attorney-General, Mr. Maule, Mr. C. Phillips, Mr. Adolphus, And some others. John Turner—l am a corporal in the Coldstream Guards. I have been five years in the service. On the Ist of August I was on duty as sentry outside the Princess Sophia's green house in Kensington-gardens. On that day I saw Frederick William Lucas, the defendant. He passed and re-passed several times, and kept making motions, rubbing his bands about his person. He went a few yards, and then indecently exposed his person. The Princess Sophia came up, and he then went behind the green-house, in the direction of Bays. water-gate. The Princess's carriage drove into the Palace, and I told Mr. Jones, her Royal Highness's porter, of the circumstance. I also told Mr. Bishop, the keeper of the Park. I saw the defendant again the same evening, and had him taken up. Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—Before I joined the service, I worked in Chadwick's cotton factory at Ashton-under-Lyne. I worked at Harrop's factory for three or four months after leaving Chadwick's. I knew John Handwick a constable—he never was after me. I was in the Derbyshire or some other militia as a substitute before joining the Guards. I was sworn into the Guards, but cannot say that I was sworn into the Militia. I was sworn into the . Guards at Oldham, and was asked on my oath if I belonged to the Militia, and said I did not. I cannot say whether that answer was true or not. I re ceived 2/. 10s. bounty from the Militia, and 21. 10s. from the Guards. I never joined the Militia. There is an iron railing with a shrubbery round that part of the gardens where the Palace is. Aly:beat is ten yards from the sentry box—the time I saw the defendant was between 12 and 1 o'clock in the day. The witness was here examined at great length as to the locality of the place where his sentry-box stood, and the direction of the different walk s , o f w hi c h h e pro f esse d en- Ire Ignorance. Tile foreman of the Jury here intimated to his Lordship that if there were no other witnesses, the case need not be proceeded with any further. Lord DENMAN said it was better first to see what the other witnesses could prove. Robert Jones—l am porter to her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia. On the day in question the witness Tur ner made a communication to me similar to that given in his evidence. It was about three quarters of an hour after the circumstance occurred that the communication was made. He described the person of the defendant. Robert Bishop, gate-keeper—l was told by a working man, named Plant, that a soldier had been insulted by a gentleman. I afterwards saw Turner, who was on duty. He beckoned to me, and described the occurrence. I did not know the defendant personally, but saw him in the evening before the Magistrates. Thomas Rice, policeman T, 65—1 was sent for to the gate-house at Kensington, and saw the defendant, who was given in charge by Turner. Mr. Lucas said at once that ho would go to the station-house. I believe he is a gentleman residing at Kensington. John Collingford, serjeant of the Coldstream Guards, was informed by Turner of the circumstance about one o'clock, and in the evening, when going the patroles along the Ken sington-road, Turner, who was with him, pointed out the defendant, who was coming towards them rea di ng a news paper, as the person who had insulted him. I asked him was he positive that the defendant was the man, and he said he was. Turner then took the gentleman into cus tody, and brought him to the lodge in the gardens. I asked the gentleman his name, and he gave me his card. He appeared to be between thirty and forty years old, and he requested that his father might be sent for. I saw nothing remarkable about him, but he was trembling and shaking after he got to the lodge. This was the evidence for the prosecution. Lord DEMNAN, addressing the Jury, said, if they were still of the opinion they had already given expression to, it might be as well if they said so. There was nothing incon sistent with the statement of the principal witness in the evidence of the others, but there was nothing that could be considered directly corroborative of it. The case rested entirely upon the evidence of the soldier Turner ; and if they were still of the opinion they expressed, that they could place no reliance'upon his testimony, there was no necessity to go into a defence of this detestable charge. If, however, they had the least doubt upon their minds, it would be much better that it should go on to the close, than to have it prematurely put an end to. The Jury having consulted for a short time, the Foreman said they were unanimously of opinion that they could place no reliance whatever upon the evidence of Turner, and immedigtely acquitted the defendant. The ATTOREY-GENERAL, in justice to the defendant, would observe that he had witnesses to rebut, in the most complete manner, several material points in the evidence of the soldier ; he had upwards of 100 most respectable wit nesses to testify to the irreproachable character of Mr. Lucas ; and he had just been handed the attestation of Turner on joining the militia. LONDON SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) This morning the General Sesssions of the Peace for the City of London commenced before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the Sheriffs ; Aldermen Birch, Kelly, Har mer, and other of the Municipal auth or iti es . _ _ _ _ A Mr. Morris who had been summoned on the Jury, sent an excuse that he was wedded on the day the sum mons was served, and had gone into the country to spend the honey moon, and being married he could not come. The LORD MAYOR excused the applicant. The calendar contains only six charges, viz., one for furious driving, two for common assaults, and three for keeping houses of ill-fame. Richard Woodward, the driver of one of Cloud's omni busses, was indicted for furiously driving down Cheapside, and overturning the chariot of Mr. Greenwell, a wholesale linen-draper, and endangering his life. Mr. CLARKSON stated the case for the - prosecution. The case was clearly proved, and the defendant was found guilty. The COURT sentenced him to be• imprisoned fourteen days in the Compter. SURREY SESSIONS,-(THIS DAY.) This morning the adjourned Quarter Sessions for the county commenced, before Robert Hedger, Esq., Chair main, and.a full Bench of Magistrates. The CHAIRMAN addressed the Grand Jury on the na ture of their duties, and observed that the charges were merely of the usual descriptions. The calendar is numeri cally heavy. . _ Up to our going to press, nothing of any interest had occurred. It gives us great pleasure to see that Sir Egerton Brydges' edition of Milton is in the course of publication in weekly numbers. We are glad to find that his labours are now likely to meet with a wider circulation ; and that the possession of the most beautiful and generally unexcep tionable edition of Milton we have yet seen published, is placed within the reach of nearly every reader. We ob serve an attempt at competition made in something of an ungenerous fashion, by the raking up of some old illustra tions of the Bible by Martin and others, and affixing them to a common reprint of the poet. Sir Egerton Brydges can afford to smile down this " rivalry."—Examiner. At the time of our paper going to press last night, the writ for the election of a Knight of the northern divi sion of this county had not been received by the Under- Sheriff. It was, however, expected to arrive this morning. In that case, we are autherised to state that Tuesday, the 13th inst., will be appointed for the day of election.-- Northampton Mercury, Dec. 5. A meeting of some electors of Westminster will be held to-morrow evening, at seven o'clock precisely, at the British Coffee-house, Cockspur-street, to take into conside-- ration Burdett's Letter to Brookes's Club. On Saturday morning, about two o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. Lawres, 21, Chiswell street, Finsbury-square, which was occasioned by a spark from a candle falling among some straw. Several engines were shOrtly in attendance, but before the flames could be extinguished a great portion ofthe premises was consumed, and damage done to the amount of 2001. An insurance had been effected in the Sun Fire•office. The body of Mr. Townsend, whose mysterious dis appearance took place so long ago as the 20th of October last, was discovered in the Sutton Lock Pool on Thursday. The body is much less decomposed than might be expected. There are several bruises on the head, which have every appearance of having been made previous to death, and there is reason to believe the skull is fractured, but of this nothing can be stated with certainty till a proper surgical examina tion has taken place ; such, however, is the impression that Mr. Townsend was murdered, that five persons have been apprehended on suspicion. . RECORDERSIIIP OF GLOUCESTER.—In our last we stated that the Corporation of this city had electeiJ John Phillpotts, Esq., as Rec Order, on the resignation Earl Somers. We have since been informed that the Ca binet, under the present conjuncture of time and circum stances, has declined confirming the nomination.—Ghnt. cater Chronicle, ?d5,42 NORTHAMPTON. The writ for the election of a Member for the Northern • Division of this county, arrived here yesterday morning's and Tuesday, the 15th, is the day appointed for the point' nation, which will take place at Attering. Both parties Teem to be pretty still at present ; and were it not that we occasionally hear of something being done for the "good old cause" by some village parson, we should have nothing, in connection with the election, that would remind us of our political existence. We do now and then, however, hear of a country gentleman—such as the Tory candidate, the Knight of Thorpe Malsor—cutting off the corner of a church-yard, by way of !raking for himself a more convenient drive ; and another of the same kith and kin—a. parson, forsooth !—levelling the graves, in older that he may save himself a few paces in his walk from his parsonage to the church. The Rev. Mr. Macpherson, the Rowell parson, has a lso furnished the county with something to enliven its dullness. Several of the Rowell band, who were also singers in. the church, having accompanied Mr. Maunsell with their music while on his canvass, thought they would please themselves when Mr. Hanbury came, by going round the village with him. They (lid so ; and the result is, that they have been ordered never to enter the church, as singers, again. They now sing at the Independent Chapel , and the pious clergyman of the Establishment has expressed , in a letter to the Tory Committee, his determination to have none but true churchmen in his congregatio - a The singers were not the only persons who offended. this dignitary. The ringers thought of showing an er ioa l re spect to the Reform candidat e as t o th e T . a 'Tory, „d accor dingly assembled to give him a peal. The parson, how ever, sent the constable down to the (..litrech, .who s oon stopped them. Knowing that two person?, there had Votes , Mr. Macpherson afterwards went down to the church, just about the time that he knew Mr. Han'oury would be going there, and waited at the door till that gentleman came uP,9 when he, in the, most insulting manner possible, banged the door in his face! Conduct such as this cannot be pal" bated; but there is no occe.sion to make any comment, upon it. There will be littl e t o won d er at if R ow ell should soon abound with Dissenters--despite the influence of Mrs. Barbara Cockaigne, or the piety of the Rev. Mr° Macpherson. The best refutation of the Tory lie of the Standard, (which was reiterated Iry the Northampton Herald), about Mr. Vernon Smith hr.ving used the influence of the Ladies Fitzpatrick amongst their customers at Oundle, in order to obtain votes for the Liberal candidate, is its unqualified contradiction by the editor, in the latter journal, yesterday The threat of an action for libel soon brought the Hera' to its senses. Dec. 6., 1835. IRELAND. One of our Dublin Correspondents has called our atter tion to the following diabolical manmuvre, which is but characteristic of the party that has so long misgoverned an d oppressed Ireland : " Several landlords throughout Ireland have served and are serving ejectments, to be tried at the approaching Jazzed Sessions, against such registered electors as are compelled to obey the mandates of the priests, and who owed on the firs t day of November last one year's rent. The cost of the eje t _., .e t " ment does not exceed 305., and th e ev i c ti on re fl ec t s no caw hardship upon the def e nd a nt th an th a t o f t a ki ng hi m out of the hands of the agitators, by legally invalidating his vote." Thus saith the Dublin Evening Post, the organ of that party which with so many religious protestations declared, not ten months ago, that the farthest thought from their hearts was that of either directly or indirectly meddling: with or violating the principles of the Reform Bill. Ye' now they proclaim themselves about to disfranchise ever , ' Roman Catholic freeholder in Ireland ; for such is the plain and obvious meaning of the words. To o bey the mandates of the priests is the same in the Orange vocAtbir lary as to agree in opinion with the priests as to the choice of Representatives, which Roman Catholic voters generally do. The course of proceeding avowed here is in the highest degree rigorous and oppressive, though to the mind of an Englishman it may not appear so ; for in England the tenant who suffers his rent to run a whole year in arrear considered and is really a bad tenant, and not entitled t°, any indulgence, setting all political notions entirely out 0 ' the question : but here some of the best tenants of the land are included in this Orange proscription ; for it is the immemorial usage with such landlords to allow what is called a hanging half year ; that is, they do not demand one half year's rent until a second is due. The May rent is paid in the November following, and the November rent i 0 May ; and thus at the return of each gale day the tenants are legally indebted in one year's rent to their landlords' This case applies to the most affluent as well as the poorest farmers in the land. The hardship, and - if I may so nsP it, the villainy of the proceeding announced in the Mail this—a whole year's rent is now suddenly demanded ; 1 10 what a time too to require it, when with the utmost labou r and industry the occupiers of the land fi n d it mos t difficult to make up the usual instalment ! Now when whea t is not a shilling a stone, the whole year's rent is de' mended, not because the landlords expect to receive iti not because they wish to receive it, for their tenants conk' not possibly meet so unexpected a requisition, unless by irretrievably ruining themselves ; but because they want t ° take advantage of a form of law to convert the tenantry into serfs, as dependent as the Russian boors are u pon s very similar gentry, and to reduce all Ireland into an Orange borough. They boast of the cheapness of the law, which will assist them to perpetrate this gross invasion o f the rights of election. Yes, it is cheap ; for it is a law wad e r by a Boroughmonger Parliame n t f or th e conven i enc e 0 ' gentlemen, in cases where the costs might fall upon them' selves. When they wanted to inflict costs upon their onl )° ' nents, they made Stanley's Tithe Act, by which it is exult' ingly stated, that a defendant may be punished, in a JO' days, to the amount of a hundred pounds. Thirty shilling s suffice a gentleman to reduce an independent, voter to nonentity. A hundred pounds are necessary for a fanne r ' who would hesitate for a week about paying an exorbitan t and obnoxious impost.

SHOCKING OCCURRENCE ON THE RUIN'S ASHBURTON-HOUSE, PUTNEY HEATH.—On Saturday ternoon an inquest was held at the Rose and Crown 11 " $ : Putney, on view of the body of Mr. Thomas Fisher, tat". proprietor of the above inn, whose death was caused by $ part of the northern wall of Ashburton House, lately dr stroyed by fire, falling upon them, under circumstances 0 1 , $ very frightful and a ffl icting nature. In addition t o th e (1001 of Mr. Fisher, two of th e wo r k men , n ame d Wilki n s gm' Elliot, received such injuries that at present they are il l ti very dangerous state. The evidence taken upon the me" lancholy occasion was as follows :—Mr. Williams, a builder, deposed that after the destruction of the noble mansion'''. fire, the ruins were purchased by Mr. Dunby, a malster, r"' siding at Putney, for the sum of 4001. Witness, was e`' .. gaged by Mr. Dunby to superintend the removal of tl je same. On Tuesday the workmen were employed in Put, ing down th e wa ll by means o f l ong ro p es , w hi c h wer e a r fixed round them. Mr. Dunby and the deceased were ne ar the spot conversing, and witness, seeing th a t a ver y big . ' wall was on the point of falling, gave an alarm, and M r ; Dunby and the workmen made a precipitate retreat o ut 0 ' the reach of danger. A great portion of the wall, boo' ever, fell upon the deceased, and he was completely c e : vered ; a vast quantity of bricks also- fell upon the otho two men. After much exertion the lifeless body of M r ; Fisher was taken out of the ruins in a dreadfully mutilate° condition. From the cross-examination of Mr. WilliaMs by the Jury, and also from the testimony of other witncsses' there did not appear to be any blame attachable to enl i party, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Accident 3, Death." The deceased has left a widow and six orpha n ' to lament his loss. Yesterday afternoon, a vast crowd assembled opp°' site the premises of Mr.. Reid, the undertaker, in T o ttelv ham-court-road, to witness the funeral of William Dav,i 6 ' who perished in the late calamitous fire in the *above ncif bourhood on Tuesday last.
