It was resolved unanimously—That aßailway communication be tween the Metropolis and the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Nor folk, is now become expedient, in consequence of railways in every ' 'other direction out of London being either in actual progress, or on the point of being immediately undertaken. That the line of the Eastern Counties Railway, now proposed for consideration, appears to this meeting to be well calculated to contribute to the prosperity of all the towns within its range, and of theSe counties at large ; and more particularly so, from its afford ing the greatest facility for the transmission of fat sheep and swine to the London market, and from its deviating least from the ancient and existing course of traffic to and from London.

SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1835 Letters have just been received in the City from the • head-quarters of General CORDOVA, which state that General EVANS has received orders to act on the offensive. We presume, therefore, that the Portu guese Auxiliaries have formed a junction with the Legion. The more closely we' examine, sift, and compare the • immense body of evidence delivered before the Poor Law Inquiry Commissioners for Ireland, the stronger is our conviction that in - the evils of any given district will be found an epitome of the miseries of the whole kingdom. When ' these evils are found to embrace want of employment for three-fourths of , the season ; starvation for three months in the year ; the necessity of living constantly on potatoes, withotit the means • of tasting bread, meat, eggs, or other nourishment ; the absence of every domestic comfort derived from a water-tight cabin, plenty of fuel, abundant led-clothes, and the common articles of cottage furniture ; and when to these are added personal nakedness and squalor, for which even the Sabbath brings no momentary re demption--one is almost tempted to cry out in despair against any measures for performing what appears a work as miraculous as raising and quickening the dead. And yet, strange. as it may seem, our chief ground of hope is the unive,rsal pievalence of one class of evils - .' 7 !'wnmPxm 'VRE SUN, LONIRN. t SAT s tTRDAY, NOITEMI3ER 14, 1S:15. and payable, in the first instance, to: the agents of the Board ; or the Board might be empowered, on the petition of the landlords, to take all the reclaimable wastes into its own possession, for so many years as might be necessary to refund, by means of the rental, the sums expended in reclaiming them, together with the interest thereupon, at a rate of two or three per cent. higher than that paid by the Government for the money so expend ed. • This scheme is by no means difficult, and would, in our opinion, meet every 'objection raised by the Irish landlords against any system of Poor Laws which. would compel them to cultivate their estates, and which they only object to on the plea of poverty. Something must shortly be done to ameliorate the sufferings of the poor of Ireland. So far all are agreed. This necessary something can only be done by framing and enforcing a system of Poor Laws, which shall relieve 'the distresses and raise the cha racter of the Irish peasantry, by ensuring for them constant and remunerating employment. Brussels, Hamburg, and Frankfort papers have been received. , Extracts from them will be found in another part of The Sun. The whole of the Paris papers of Thursday have been received. The Moniteur of that date contains ,e - following offie'al announcement : The official intelligence received from different quarters agrees not only in denying the alleged vic tory said to have been gained by the Carlists on the 29th, but also in proving that on that day, as well as the preceding, the advantage . had been on the side of the Christino army. It now appears that Cordova's movement was merely intended as a diversion, whilst the troops that had left Bilboa were manoeuvring to join him. Thus is that General's retreat on Vittoria easily accounted for ; and the good order in which he effected it, bringing with him some Carlist prisoners proves that he succeeded in his operation, and that the. Carlists had not broken his retirinc , columns. " A t 'cl E espatch from Bayonne, dated Bth inst., announces that Cordova had re-entered Vittoria on the 29th, with 50 Carlist prisoners ; that he had gone on the 30th to Ochan dio, and had returned to Vittoria on the Ist, without meet- ing any obstacle. The movement of the 30th had, no doubt, for its object to meet the English division, which had made a large cir cuit for the purpose of joining the main body of the Queen's forces. " On the 31st Don Carlos was at Echarri Aranaz, and his army was stationed at intervals along the road between Pampeluna and Vittoria." " Letters from Bilboa of the 4th announce that on the 30th Gen. Evans had left that city with 8,000 English, and marched in the direction of Vittoria. Generals Espartero and Jauregui followed him with 3,000 men. Bilboa is gar risoned by 4,000 men and the Urbanos." There are advices from Spain in several of the French Papers, in all of which the QUEEN'S troops are represented as prevailing over the rebels in the Na varrese provinces. The following is from the Moni- teur of Thursday : " On the sth instant the Central Consistory and Depart mental Consistory of Paris waited on the King. M. Cre mieux, Vice-President of the Central Consistory, delivered an address to his Majesty, thanking him for havinc , discon tinued all intercourse with the country canton of Basle, owing to its having, in violation of treaties, prevented a French citizen of the Jewish persuasion from possessing immoveable property within its territories. His Majesty returned the following answer : " Yes, at all times I have deemed unjust and impolitic measures that establish among the citizens of the same nation differences of social qualifications, founded in the' variety of religious creeds. As a King I have up held that principle, and have several times expressed to you my satisfaction at its having been my lot to en force it with regard to you. I hope that the application of this principle will become general. I believe it to be the well understood interest of all nations ; reason must end in triumphing over prejudices, even as water falling drop by drop ends by piercing the hardest rock. Such are at least my hopes and wishes ; but I cannot interfere with that which passes in other States, unless French interests be thereby molested, as has occurred in the country canton of Basle. I confess I have rejoiced to have had that opportunity of proclaiming that under my reign all Frenchmen enjoy the same rights, and obtain the same protection from my Go vernment. I trust that my efforts will not be fruitless, and that in the affair itself which you mention, the Canton will revoke a determination as contrary to our treaties with Switzerland, as to the spirit of the age we live in. As for myself, I am happy to have set the example of your com plete emancipation, and I thank you for the justice you do to my acts and intentions. lam much touched with all that you have` just expressed to me." PARIS, Nov. 11.—The Spanish Funds continue to rise rapidly. We have just learnt that a report is current in certain circles that Don Carlos and his nephew have fallen back to Oyarzun with ten battalions. Oyarzun is about two leagues from the frontier 6f France, between St. Sebastian and Irun. This news, which may have been known on 'Change, has probably had some effect on this rise in the Spanish Funds. PARIS, Nov. 12.—The iWoniteur confirms the account of the Don Carlos being at Oyarzun. The Journals of the frontier confine themselves to speak ing of arrangements made to obtain the restoration of some boats seized by the Carlists at the mouth of the Bidassoa. A letter of the 7th says that Sagastibelza had promised to restore them ; there the affair rests ; and the troops which had been made to approach have returned to their canton ments. In consequence of the serious and it is feared mortal illness of M. Raguenaud de la Chenay, and of the unhappy affair of M. Bardel, France has no Representative at San tiago, Chili, and Valparaiso. It is to put an end to this state of things that the Government has appointed M. Donnerv, now Consul at Philadelphia, to be Consul- General and Charge d'Affaires at Santiago, and M.„Ca zotte, who has been Vice-Consul at Rio de Janeiro and at Lima, to be Consul at Valparaiso. These two agents will sail on board the corvette La Bonite, which is to leave Toulon at the end of this month. It will also take M. Barrot to Manila, and M. de Mandeville to Guyaquil, where he is appointed.— illessag er, Nov. 12. FRENCH FUNDS.—Pasts, Novismitza 19. Five per Cents., 108 f. Re. Sise. 90e. Four per Cents., 99f. Mc.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—ln your Journal of the 3d instant there is a brief review of the Narrative of a Visit to the American Churches, made by Dr. Reed and myself. I have no re marks to make respecting your opinion of that work ; but I consider it due to myself, as well as to you, to notice the closing passage in the review. _ . The reviewer says, after referring to the tables of statis " we should have been glad, for the sake of the work itself, that such tables had not been appended to it ; as by comparing them with official documents in our possession, we find them unworthy or the slightest credit. We have no doubt but that Dr. Matheson, by whom the statistical tables were arranged, was led into the error by adopting the returns made to him by the pastors of the several churches which he visited, instead of consulting the archives of the States." Now, you clnnot but perceive that the above passage con tains a very severe and sweeping charge, qualified, indeed, by giving me credit for honesty, if not for prudence. Would it not have been better for the reviewer to have pointed out the errors ? Let him do so, and lam prepared to confess that I have been incautious. Till he does so, I can neither defend my compilations, nor confess my fault, if I am in- It is impossible for me to say what official documents arc in the reviewer's possession. That they' are such as to throw entire or partial discredit on my - statistical tables, is to me very surprising ; when the documents, from which I prepared the Religious Statistics of the Twenty-four States of America, were furnished to me by the official persons in that country. The publications I refer to—the accredited documents of the different deno minations—are well known in America ; and, as far as I know, their correctness has never been called in ques- tion. I never heard of " the Archives of the States," and could not, therefore, consult them. Ilad they been in existence, I should probably have obtained them, and used them. I had no object in view, but to give as complete and correct tables as the publication I pos sessed enabled me to furnish. That errors may be dis covered, I admit ; but that the statistics are unworthy of the slightest credit" I cannot believe, till this is shown by satisfactory evidence. With regard to the g.tatistics of towns and villages, I merely placed them in the order of the Journal of the narrative, copying them from the papers furnished me by Dr. Reed, and comparing them with the notes in my own Journal. When we pursued our journey separately, each furnished his own statistics. When information could be obtained from published do cuments, we availed ourselves of them in preference to oral testimony ; but in newly settled, or small towns, we had necessarily to depend on the information obtained in the places visited. This, in every instance, was received from respectable and responsible persons. I am sure that, as a public Journalist favourable to the investigation of truth, you will not refuse the inser tion of this letter ; nor deny me the privilege of defending myself if right, and confessing my error if wrong. I therefore respectfully call on the reviewer of the Ivory in question to support his assertion by evidence. I remain, Sir, yours respectfully, JAMES MATHESON. Durham, sth Nov. 1835. [A more extraordinary letter than the above has never been submitted to us ; and• we only regret that we have not time to notice it, and the work to which it alludes, in terms expressive of our convictions and feelings. The cool assurance of the Rev. Gentleman in telling us, that till we point out an error in his " compilations," he can neither defend them, nor con fess himself incautious, is more than we had expected from a person conscious to himself of having repre sented the religious state of a country on no better evidence than " oral testimony" picked up in every strag gling village, awl road-side lodging-house. Point out an error, indeed I Why, with the exception - of the gross population of the States of the Union extracted from the last decennial census, there is not a correct statement in the whole tables of religious statistics. Itis an error to leave it to be inferred that there are no Presbyterians in the States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. It is another error to state that there are no Congre gationalists out of these States, with the exception of those living in the state of New York. Error the third regards the number of Episcopalians in every State in the Union. Error the fourth concerns the Ro man Catholics. In page 525, vol. 11, purporting to be " Religious Statistics for the whole twenty-four States," Roman Catholics—one of the most nu merous religious bodies in America—are not so much as named ! In the following page, this body is mentioned among the " smaller denomina tions," and the whole number in the Union set down as amounting only to 550,000 ! Why, in one single State out of the twenty-four—Louisiana—the Number of Roman Catholics exceeds 213,000. These facts are sufficient for our purpose, especially as Dr. Matheson has prudently forborne to give the names . of the " offi cial persons" who supplied the " Religious Statistics" of the United States. Dr. Matheson calls for proofs. Would it not be as well for the Doctor to supply those necessary for the authentication of his "Compilations," as he very properly calls them ? The onus rests with him in the first instance ; when he has proved that his compilations are deserving of notice, by giving us the names of, and the appointments held by, the " official persbns" who supplied him with the religious statistics of the States, then shall we be prepared to bring for ward an authenticated refutation of his statements. But we are wasting time. Dr. Matheson seeks to cajole us, as he has the public.—THE REVIEWER.] INCENDIARISM —On Wednesday night last the wheat-ricks of Mr. Wm. Barker, of Claythorpe, Lincoln shire, were set on fire, and two out of seven were totally destroyed. - Five wheat ricks and barley rick were pre served by the exertions of the honest labourers in the ne;ghbourhood. There were, until within a late period, five daily newspapers printed in Dublin, but two of them have sunk after a three years' struggle, although the stamp duty is in Ireland only one half of its amount in Great Britain. There are yet three day and six weekly; papers in Dublin. No daily paper exists in Scotland. Last week, as some men were at work in the plan tations on Tetton Farm, Kingston, belonging to the Hon. E. Herbert, they found fifteen large adders coiled together between some stones. The discovery of so large a number of these reptiles in one spot is considered a very extraordi nary circumstance at this season of the year.—Taunton Courier. DII. ABERNETHY AND P-, TILE COME niA N.—P—, who was of a scorbutic habit, was, fin• a considerable time, the patient of Abernethy ; the guineas followed one another into 'the pocket of the doctor, and the actor got no better. At length, in no pleasant humour, he presented himself. "No better, Doctor !" " Urn," said Abernethy, " I'm afraid you don't strictly adhere to your regimen—vegetable diet." " Sir," said the enraged actor, " I've taken as much green stuff as a jackass, and yet I'm no better ;" and flounced out of the house. Aber nethy, Who was too eccentric himself to be offended by ec centricity in others, had a prescription made up, and sent it with his red pills to Mr. P—, with this direction : " Let the jackass take one of these per night, and go on with his hot mash of green stuff as usual."—New Monthly Magazine. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Nov. 12.—A respectable amount of business was transacted to-day at the prevailing prices of yesterchy.

Prices since Friday have advanced fully -id. per lb.

PRIVATIONS.—" At this time they are in a state of want, and strive to live when they have not half enough to cat ; for one meal they cat in comfort they cat two in want ; when one stone of potatoes would do them, they must be satisfied with three-fourths of a stone." During the summer of 1822 upwards of fifty persons died [in this parish] of disorders brought on by hunger." " The poor exist, they draw their breath, but that is 211." MORALITY.—" I never knew an instance of a person committing a crime for the purpose of being sent to gaol and supported ; want never causes them to keal." " The frequent recurrence of want will break down a man's spirit ; the more hope of improvement the more a man will exert himself ; but still the man without a jacket will work like a slave." PA RISII OF TUAM.—EMPLOYMENT.—" There are some periods of the year at which the labourers in many cases are out. of employment. If a labourer has land, he is not re duced to fewer meals at this period ; but the meals of those who have not, and are out of employment, when buying at the close of the summer, must be more scanty. Potatoes, in or out of employment, are their constant food. There is no fund for their relief, when thus unemployed." PRIVATIONS.—" In summer, when the man goes from home in search of employment, the wife and children gene rally beg for a time each year." " The poor are frequently in the habit of obtaining pro visions on credit, I should rather say at the rate of the most un-Christian usury ; not only provisions, but the seed necessary for the soil. It is a common practice with many landlords in this province (Connaught) and with the agents of others, to seize the crops of their tenantry, or to force them to sell them in the winter season, in order to buy their crops themselves, and then when the Spring comes round, to sell at double price the very grain which the tenantry were obliged to send to their stores. This prac tice continues from year to year, so that, besides the rack rent of the land, the landlord or his agent contrives to ex tort an usurious profit of cent. per cent. upon .the . crops which are reared by the labour of the wretched tenant." MORALITY.—" I have never known any persons to com mit crimes for the purpose of being sent to gaol, except in the case of poor diseased prostitutes." " do not know many instances of people stealing, to relieve themselves from present want ; I question whether I recollect one." " Numbers would rather starve than expose themselves to the shame of a prison, a feeling, however, which increasing distress is wearing away. " I have not observed that the labourers are in a reck ess state." The evidence, as far as regards the condition, mora and physical, of the last-mentioned parish, is extracted from returns made to the Board of Inquiry, by the Pro testant Archbishop, and the Catholic Bishop of the diocese of Tuum. No two men differ more in their general sentiments than the Most Reverend the Hon. POWER LE POER TRENCH, Archbishop. of Tuam, and Dr. MACIIA LE ; but on the qtlestion of . the con dition of the poor, they are of the same opinion. Both express themselves most favourably of the moral sen timents of the great bulk of the people, not only within the limits of their respective spiritual charges, but throughout the country. The Archbishop says ex pressly, that the midnight associations and illegal com binations into which the labourers are too often led, originate solely in a hope cf thereby bettering their condition, and not in depravity of disposition. This we believe. However unfortunately such combinations terminate, or whatever outrages are committed by those who belong to them, they have their beginning in a laudable desire to im prove the habits, and better the circumstances of the members ; or in an attempt to make head against op pressions, to which the poor are particularly obnoxious. Much must be done, before any very striking im provement can take place in the social condition of the poor of Ireland ; but the first thing is to find them plenty of employment. Without work, all efforts to eradicate the evils which afflict that country, must be unavailing. We are borne out by the testimony of most respectable persons, conversant with the internal state of Ireland for more than a quarter of a century, in saying, that the best educated man, obliged to live by his labour, could not provide against periodical seasons of extreme hunger, in any part of the pro vinces of Munster and Connaught. Education, there fore, is not the fist remedy demanded, by Ireland. We know that education among the mass, would en able them to compel the Legislature to accede to their just claims ; but the process of relief would go on too slowly for the pressing distresses of the people. The people want bread in the first instance—books after wards. None value the blessings of .a sound- system of popular instruction more than we do ; but when the question is, whether it be the first duty 'of a Govern ment to provide bread or .books .for its subjects, we unhesitatingly answer, let the most pressing wants be supplied first—fasting for a week will destroy the body; neglect for a year may be remedied by the growth and culture of mind—the bread by all means. To relieve Ireland, by supplying the bread for the .sustenance of her starving population, the Govern ment must frame a system of Poor Laws for that coun try, based on the principle of the statute of EL IZA.. BET 11. This law must be efficient for the prevention of vagrancy—one of the greatest moral curses of the kingdom. It must also make—for a certain number of years at least—the support of the poor, able and willing to work, but destitute of employment, a charge upon the land—the heaviest part to be borne by ab sentees neglecting to employ any part of their tenantry. A tax should also be laid on all wastes, thus compel ling the landlords to cultivate their estates, and thereby giving employment to the able-bodied labouring po pulation. To effect this in every instance it might be necessary to establish a Board, which should be empowered to take possession of all wastes, by per mission of the landlords, holding them in the name of the Government for so many years, as might be ne cessttry to cover by the sale of their produce, the ex penses incurred by reclaiming them. A few words, developing this scheme, may appear not uncalled for by the public. Many of the Irish landlords are poor—many of them are deeply in debt—and many more have their estates mortgaged to the last farthing they can raise upon them. None of these could clear wastes or drain bogs ; and a law to compel them to give employment • to their tenantry would be virtually a law for the confis ii cation of their estates, inasmuch as the entire rental would not defray the wages cost of labour. Now, for the benefit of these classes of landlords, a Board might be esta •blished with powers either to advance certain sums of money, chargeable on the rental of reclaimed wastes, SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. We are again deprived by the Easterly winds this morning of arrivals of consequence—we have only one French and one Hamburgh mail. The only information to which any importance may be at tached is the express from Paris, by which we have various ac counts of the positions of the contending armies in the North of Spain to the Bth inst. Up to that date, it appears, that no battle had taken place ; and the junction of the English troops with Cordova had not been authenticated. According to ac counts from the frontiers, two divisiOnz of .the Carlists, under General Gomez, had proceeded to intercept them. A re port prevailed at Paris, that Dona , _Carlos had solicited the French Government to mediate between him and the Queen of Spain ; and by this last information he appears to be retir ing towards the frontiers of France. Great importance is at tached to the meeting of the Cortes at Madrid on the 16th instant, as well as to the Queen's speech.

FREDERICK WILLIAM 1., KING OF F R USSI ,4 I The King expected every one who spoke to him to 10° him full in the face, for he thought that lie could read , every one's eyes whether the story he told was true or n''' He was therefore very .angry when persons who saw b in : coming endeavoured to avoid him. A poor dancing - a ll ' te one day tried to escape the usual compliments by scaolAPil; ing as fast as possible into a neighbouring house. .° Kin.. perceived him, and sent one of his pages to fetc h back ; and, in order to he quite sure that he was ishat represented himself to be, the King obliged him on the spo t to dance a sarabande. A still harder sentence was Pas s on another French dancing-master, who 'Met the bling,,,; horseback on the public road, and set off at a ga ll°r t without paying any attention to the King's desire Or he should stop. The King despatched a page 3 , fi f t , him, who at length found him secreted in a When brought before the he passed himself ° as the travelling agent of a commercial house at I\lar, seilles ; but this story having turned out to be false, , King sentenced him to cart rubbish for one mouth the rebuilding of St. Peter's Church. A Jew boy I°' in order to avoid meeting him in a very narrow s treet , er, deavoured to get away as fast as possible, was overtak en v ) the King. " Why do you run away ?" said he to " Because lam afraid," replied the trembling Jew. ``% ° ,l should not be afraid of me, you ought to love me," rek ) ,', °- 0 1 the King, at the same time letting him feel the weig"' - 0 his cane. Persons, however, who knew bow to return,Y, answer, often made their fortune. The King one: 4 l, stopped in the street a young student in theology, andl hi ing that he was a native of Berlin said, " Ah, the - 13er kb . e ..people are good for nothing !"
