far from being so desperate as the disparity of our numbers would indicate. " Fellow Citizens, again we summon you to arms. Let us take the field, defeat Cos, take San Antonio, drive every sol dier from our limits, and thereby place Texas in a situation to become ere long what she is destined to be, a land of agri culture and of commerce, of laws and liberty, the pride and boast of our lives, and a legacy of price unspeakable to posterity. " 13. T. ARCHER, Chairman. "Wm. T. Austin, Secretary." " WAR. " Information was received last night by express, that Ge neral Cos landed at Copeno with four hundred men, arms, and ammunition. " An expedition is now raising in the lower country, to take the field at once. They are called upon to rendezvous at League's old place on the Colorado, on the 28th of this month. " Every man. in Texas is called upon to take up arms in defence of his country and his rights. Those who can join the expedition on the 29th are requested to do so, or they can join it at James Kerr's, on La Vaca, which will be the prin cipal rendezvous. " A corps of reserve will be formed to march to and sustain the advance. Those who cannot join the advance are re quested to unite with the reserve, and report themselves to the Committee of Safety in this place. " It is expected that each man will supply himself with provision, arms, and ammunition to march with. " Arrangements will be made for permanent supplies, as soon as possible. " S. F.

We hear that the bridges and mill-dams, for a considerable distance around, are almost universally swept away. The farmers on the flats of the Genessee River, and the streams contri butory, have sustained serious losses. Cattle and sheep have been drowned, and fields of corn and oats, which were unharvested, entirely destroyed. The oldest residents of that place say they have never known the Angelica Creek so high as it was on Tuesday last. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS Bank Stock .1034 t A i II I 3 per Cent.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Sunday have been received, together with the evening papers dated yesterday. The Chambers are convoked for the 29th of December—a fortnight earlier than the time pre viously specified. No cause is assigned for this, but it is supposed to originate in the apprehension of a war with America. The Madrid Correspondent of the Journal des Debats writes from that capital that no ',thing is spoken of there but the Royal speech, which to be delivered on the 16th,.—the day following the, date. of the letter. According to this writer, the speech contains an exact repetition almost of the pro .:gramme of Senor MENDIZABAL, but at the same time many of the points are more fully developed. The financial affairs of the country arc most completely dis cussed, and the QUEEN, while admitting the embarrass ment of the Treasury, and the disastrous isolation of the three rebellious provinces, which contribute nothing to- wards the national resources, is made to declare, tha neither the penury of the Treasury, nor civil war, wil force the, Government to have recourse to a foreign loan. The part of the speech touching on the rela lions of the kingdom with foreign Powers is, according to report, of a nature to give general satisfaction. It ,ailbunc'es that the Spanish Government continues to receive most decided assurances of amity from the allied 11•11111•1 THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1835. properly so called, it is universal. The landowners, indeed, to serve their own selfish purposes, have dragged the agriculturists into the field, and placed them, as it were, in the front of their battle. Every meeting got up, association formed, or petition con cocted, has the imposing title " Agricultural" con ferred upon it. By this contrivance the landlords hope to mask their intentions and proceedings, and to make the public believe that it is not they but the cultiva tors of the soil who are so eager in their importunity for legislative relief. Never was there a more bare. ,faced imposition attempted to be practised on public credulity. It cannot be called a good piece of acting. The trick is too clumsy for deception. Even the most ignorant are too sharp-sighted not to see through it. Go to the farmers where they are under no restraint from the presence of their landlords—converse with them at their own firesides—and they will tell you with one voice that the relief which they want—and the only relief that can do them any good—is a reduction of rent. If the rent of land were regulated as it ought to be —were it a reasonable proportion of the produce paid in kind, or converted into money at the market price for the time being—the case would be different as regards ;he agriculturist. He would then have no cause to com- plain of the rapacity of his landlord; and whether prices were high or low, seasons good or bad, both parties would suffer or be benefitted alike. Under such cir cumstances there would be a real community of interest between them. But when the landlord screws out of his tenant a money rent, fixed according to a scale of prices twice as high as can be obtained, where is the clodpate or thaw-bacon---as COBBETT used to style the farmers—who does not see the injustice of such a claim, as well ,as the source of relief ? But the landlords are blind to their own interests, as well as to those of their tenants, when they -exact exorbitant rents and clamour for high prices. The plans which they have adopted, and to which they have obtained the sanction of the Legislature for se curing these objects, have signally failed. If there are any of them—as we fear there are not a few—who still retain their old prejudices on this subject, we strongly recommend to their attention the Address which Earl FITZWILLIAM lately published for their benefit. They will there find expressed in language suited to the most ordinary capacity, more good sense and sound reasoning, on the weightiest matters relat ing to their interests, than are contained, within the same compass, in any work with which we are ac quainted. ____ We have this morning seen letters from Falmouth, in which mention is made of the arrival of the Viper' from Lisbon. The writer says that the Master of this vessel informed him, that Marshal SALDANHA had tendered his resignation to the QUEEN, 011 account of her refusal to allow the troops to enter into Spain ; but the rumour was couched in so equivocal a manner, that some doubt existed as to its truth—more particu larly as almost all the Portuguese troops had already entered Spain. The Viper does not appear to have brought any letters or despatches for the Portuguese agents in this country, from any person in Portugal, apprizing them of this intelligence. Since the• above was written, we learn, by a second express - from Falmouth, that the Netley cutter has arrived from List)On, whence she sailed on the 14th instant. After the resignation of the Minis ter of War on the 13th, the QUEEN commanded the Marquis of LOULE and FRONTERA to form a new Administration. They returned to her MA JESTY on the same evening, and assured her that they could not form a popular Government ; upon which the QUEEN sent for the Marquis SALDANHA and Senor CARVALHO, and requested them to re-assume their places in the Cabinet. This they consented to do, after her MAJESTY had — satisfied them as to the causes of their dismissal. Thus appears to have ter minated a very foolish - affair, brought about by in trigues in the Palace. LITERATURE. MY AUNT PONTYPOOL. 3 Vols. Saunders and Otley. London, 1835. A " quiet and domestic story," to use the author's own words, the most amusing character in which, my Aunt Pontypool, a bustling, gossipping, good-hu moured old lady, always getting herself and others into scrapes, though with the best possible intentions, may, perhaps, remind the experienced novel-reader of Mrs. Norris, in Jane Austin's clever tale of " Mans field Park." My Aunt is our favourite character, as we believe she will be with most people. Considerable pains have been taken in developing her peculiarities, which, though eccentric to a degree, are in no respect overstrained. Of the other personages of the tale the best is Lord Methwyn, who has strong individu ality to recommend him. As for the hero and heroine, Charles Lacy and Helen Adair, both want " mark and likelihood." The story is laid about the period of the battle of Waterloo, of which an animated, but sketchy account is given. There is some good writing to be met with here and there in the pages, such as in the description of a day-break in London, with the thoughts that such a scene excites in a contemplative mind, which—though the main idea has evidently been suggested by a noble sonnet on the same subject by Wordsworth—is of more than average merit. A SUPPLEMENT TO MR_ M'CULLOCH'S COMMERCIAL DICTIONARY. London : Longman and Co. 1835. It is stated on the title-page of this pamphlet, that it supplies the deficiencies and brings down the in formation, contained in the author's great Commercial Work, to the month of October in the present year. We are unable to say anything, of ourselves, on the subject, as we have not yet been favoured with a copy of " INl‘Culloch's Commercial Dictionary"—from what cause we really are at a loss to determine. It is truly painful to us to be under the necessity of recurring, so often to the neglect of publishers in this respect. Of some books we receive a second edition, and having never seen the first, are requested to notice how strikingly the whole work has been improved. Of others we are favoured with an odd volume, which we are assured may be taken as a fair specimen of all the rest. And in the present instance, we are presented with the annual supplement to a work which we only know by hearsay. This must be remedied. MARGARET RAVENSCROFT, 3 Vols. London : _Longman and Co. 1835. The principal female personage in this tale is Mar garet Ravenscroft, a young lady of an impetuous, jealous temperament, though endowed with a world of virtues, who, after being betrothed to one man, has the misfortune to fall in love with another. This— which is by no means a novel idea—is skilfully worked up ; and many of the scenes which bear upon it, show that the author has considerable knowledge of the hu man heart, and is at home in pourtraying the passions. We know of few incidents in modern fiction—if we except the Nowlans of Banim—morc impressive than the suicide of Margaret, occasioned by an unfounded apprehension of the faithlessness of her lover, Percy Montague, which has been instilled into her mind by a nocturnal visit which she pays to a Zingara, or wise woman. The description of the mingled feelings of love, jealousy, remorse, and despair, which agitate her frame, and work her up to a state o€ perfect phrenzy, as she stands at midnight on the fatal pa rapet, possess all the vivid force of reality. But in deed the author (Mr. St. John) assures us that the ground work is founded on fact ; and that the catas trophe which lie has so powerfully described, actually took place §ome years since, in a certain distinguished family, whose name, however, from motives .of deli cacy, he refrains from mentioning. The character of Helen Ravenscroft is admirably contrasted with that of her sister Margaret_; one sets off the other, and re lieves the novel from that insipidity which, except in a few special cases, is the inseparable accompani ment of love-tales. In justice to the author, we must observe that, though he deals much, as in duty bound, in sentiment, yet there is nothing puling or lackadaisical in his delineation of the tender passion. His heroine is not a Charlotte, nor is his hero a Werter. Both are creatures of real flesh and blood, and make love according to the promptings of nature, instead of after the fashion of the Circulating Library. Senti ment, too, is not unduly prominent in the volumes, which display much knowledge of actual life, and,_ in places, not a little shrewd and curious metaphysical speculation. On some more leisure day, we may be tempted to quote the author's reasonings on the sub ject of the love of old men towards their grandchil dren, which are marked by truth and eloquence ; also his cursory reflections on the mystery of life and death, than which there is nothing more gracefully and feel ingly expressed in the " Student" of Mr. Bulwer. We have little doubt that " Margaret Ravenscroft" will find its way into the hands of a large class of readers ; for all who love high-wrought incident, well developed character, and eloquent description, will find much to attract them in its pages. We should observe that the style throughout is as carefully po lished as the later works of Godwin. We subjoin a brief extract : " Margaret, for a moment, appeared to sympathize with nature. Her sorrows, instead of agitating and scorching her brain, found a vent in tears ; and, had any friend been then at her side, to whisper one kind word, and knit up the ravelled tissue of her affections, her fate might, perhaps, have been averted. But the mercenary, ignorant and with out the authority of love, stood aloof, not daring to utter what even she felt. " The garden ran along the edge of beetling cliffs, and a gravelled terrace, furnished with a low parapet, occupied its extreme limit. Here Margaret now walked. Sometimes one train of ideas, sometimes another, swept over her mind. The struggles of love and despair, which she had already maintained, were again renewed with redoubled vehemence and impetuosity ; until reason gave way, and passion, which, in its excess, differs little from madness, reigned without controul. " Signorina exclaimed Paolina, oh, walk not, I be seech you, on that narrow parapet. A single false step would plunge you headlong down the fearful cliff. My head turns giddy, even here. Dearest signorina, take my hand, though 1 tremble to approach so near the brink.' " lam fearless, Paolina, and could walk steadily on the verge of hell " Holy Virgin ! you terrify me.' Have you heard any other person speak of it ?' " Of what, signorina ?' Why, you know, dull thing ! What you spake of but now. • dd I spoke of nothing but the dreadful cliff on which you stand.' What ! do you barb your words with death, strike me to the heart, and next moment forget it ?' Merciful God ! I struck you not.' " You did.' " Oh, not I, signorina.' Said you not that he no longer loved me ?' I know not what I said. Heed it not, I conjure you. I am a poor fool, and meant no h arm. B ut, s i gnor i na ! bend not so over the gulf ; your foot may slip —your head grow dizzy—oh, let me hold your dress—l shudder to be hold you. See, how the sea- mews w h ee l b elow ; the depth freezes my blood.' Touch me not for your life, Paolina ; but listen. I have approached the bourne of my short career—eternity rolls its unfathomable waves beneath my feet—think of me as one already belonging to.the dead ; my grave is dug— my winding-sheet spun—the worms put forth their heads out of the earth, as if they snuffed their prey—death spreads its arms for me below among the rocks ; to-mo rr o w , if you look for me , my place will be empty. If they should bathe me in tears, I shall not wake ! Yet say to my father that— but I dared not—l would have kissed him before I died. And my sister—and my mother ! A n d— o h , l ast and dearest in my thoughts !—oh, let Montague know that, in spite of his faithlessness, his image, like a seraph, lighted me to the chambers of death. Tell him that I loved him to the last !' Oh God ! stay, signorina, for a moment. Hear me, first. I have much to say. They will think I murdered you. Oh, advance not over that sharp angle. Stop ! holy Virgin ! I will mount the wall, and snatch at her dress. Ah ! she has escaped me. How fleet she mores over the dizzy brink of the precipice ! See she waves her hand, to bid me farewell—she leans forward—she loses her balance,— her footing gives way—she plunges headlong—down-- down—down. Hush ! she rebounds from the sharp rocks ! Oh, that fearful shriek ! It has pierced my brain ;it will ring in my ears for ever. The best, the kindest, the most noble and generous of mistresses is gone. May the Virgin, and all the saints of heaven, have mercy on her soul !' " And Paolina fell senseless on the terrace. When she again came to herself, the grey morning had already appeared in the east ; and, trembling, bewildered, fearful, she made her escape from the grounds, and took refuge in the nearest convent." STATISTICAL IN Q UIR Y into the PRE SENT STATE OF THE MEDICAL CHARITIES OF IRELAND With Suggestions for a Medical Poor Law. BY DENIS PHELAN, M.D. London : Longman and Co.- 1835. The author of this work has rendered an important service to the cause of humanity ; and we trust his suggestions will be appreciated as they deserve by the British Legislature. The subject of his book, though most important in itself, is of such a nature as to pre vent us from entering minutely into its various details ; neither do we think that an analysis of it, such as we could give, would materially serve his purpose. In the event of any legislative measure being adopted, with regard to the medical relief of the poor in Ire land, the volume before us will serve as a text-book. ON THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OF GERMANY. BY G. P. B. JAMES, ESQ. London : Saunders and Otley, 1835. This is a reprint of a series of letters addressed by the author to Lord Brougham, in 1834, on the sub ject of popular instruction in the several States of Germany. The republication of these letters has not been undertaken by Mr. James with a view to derive any emolument from the sale of the book ; but solely to supply the public with information, of which he believes the legislature to stand in considerable need—. if we may be permitted to draw an inference from what he tells us respecting the noble and learned Lord to whom his letters are severally addressed. The perusal OTTITCSe letters has not realized our expectations from them; but they may be studied to some advantage by those who have not given much time to the subject of popular education. The author's opinions are liberal, and generally bear the impress of a sound judgment. FINE ARTS. THE BOOK OF BEAUTY. Tilt, London, 1835. We have here as fine a show of lovely female counte nances, as is to be met with in Hyde Park or Kensington Gardens on a fine spring afternoon, when all the world is abroad, and trooping towards the West. Some are blondes, some brunettes, some neither fair or dark, but who hit the happy medium between " intense" expres sion on the one hand, and insipidity on the other; but each face, in its respective style, is beautiful. Our favourite—though Where all are matchless, it is diffi cult to make a selection—is the Countess Ross:, who, as Mademoiselle Sontag, set all the fashionable world love-sick a few short years ago. The ex pression of this lady's face is full of that winning sweetness which, when heightened by modesty, and an appearance of shrinking timidity, constitutes what we most love and admire in women. Whe ther the portrait be a resemblance or not, we are not prepared to say ; we are willing, however, to be lieve that it is. The " Dilemma" represents an arch, pretty young girl (now for the first time in her life serious), who is sadly bewildered, in consequence of the receipt of two love letters, which she holds in her hand. She evidently cannot make up her mind as to which of her two lovers she could select for a husband. We wish we could assist her. " Alice "—" Amina "—the " Reverie " and " Agnes," are, next to those which we have already noticed, the best among the Illustrations. ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE KEEPSAKE. Tilt, London. 1835. We have been favoured with an early impression of these Illustrations, and, on casting a hasty glance over them, find that we may honestly speak i►► terms of warm praise of the majority of them, though a few are certainly little, if at all, above mediocrity. The Engravings are nineteen in number, and have attached to them the names of some of the most accomplished artists of the day. Among those which we like the least—though with its defects the engraver has nothing to do—is the design by Chalon, entitled the " Brighton Beauty." It is the half-length figure of a female attired .in the most gaudy style of fa shion, with her stiff front-locks dropping down on her neck, just as if they were so much wire-gauze, and her tawdry satin or silk gown hanging around her in such confused, voluminous folds, as wholly to conceal the proportions of her figure. The face is pleasing, but it is not in keeping with the dress, which is the very extreme of bad taste. " The Last Look" is exquisitely beautiful. A young girl, with " ir resistible eyes," as Coleridge somewhere says, has just stolen down, no doubt while Papa and Mama are both comfortably snoring a domestic duct in bed, to bid a last farewell to her " sweet-heart" (who we take for granted is a handsome young Irish officer standing upwards of six feet in his shoes, and proportionably broad in the shoulders), though from the expression of her counte nance, notwithstanding its settled resolve of purpose, we are fully persuaded that the " look" she is now about to bestow on her favoured Milesian will not be the " last," for of course he has a post-chaise in wait ing to escort her to Gretna Green. The engraving is a very delightful one, and the young girl just such a one as a poet would like to write sonnets to. Her " Last Look" might inspire even a stock-broker. The " Escape of Finella" is a subject dangerous to look on in the dog-days ; but in this chilly, blighting weather, it may be gazed on with impunity. A beau tiful girl, of a voluptuous, oriental cast of features, is busy making her escape by a ladder of ropes up a high wall, and gazing back with a look of affright into the gar den from which she has just eloped. While in the act of raising herself, the folds of her " tempestuous pet ticoat"—as our English Anacreon i old Herrick, calls it—undulate in such a way as to show the symmetrical proportions of a leg, whose rival is only to be seen at the Olympic, when Madame Vestris plays the part of " Don Giovanni." " Calais" is a spirited sea piece, from the pencil of Vickers. It is engraved by Brandard, and is in his best manner. " The Smuggler's Boat" is in the same style, and of equal merit; though what a grave, clerical looking figure, not unlike Dr. Phillpotts, can want in a vessel of this description, we cannot for the life of us imagine. Possibly, when the literary portion of the Keepsake reaches us, it will clear up the mys tery. " A Fire at Sea" is from one of Turner's most striking designs. It is worthily engraved by Will more. Of the remaining Illustrations---we have se lected the best—we have no time to say more, than they are of the average order of " Annual " excellence. MONTREAL, OCT. 30.—Comparative statement of the years 1834 and 1835, to the 27th October:— Vessels. Tonnage. Passengers. 1834 1835 The best prime fat mutton is selling at Crowiand, Peterborough, every Saturday, at the low price of 4d. rer pound. Powers, who, not satisfied with expressing their desire for the consolidation of the throne of ISABELLA IL, display every moment an increasing eagerness to draw closer the bonds which unite them to Spain, and to give to the treaty of quadruple alliance a more enlarged and more efficacious interpretation. The QUEEN was next to advert to the Estatuto Real, and the important duty devolved on the Cortes. It would seem, from certain phrases said to be contained in this part of the speech, that a revision of the funda mental compact is in the contemplation of the Go vernment ; and in confirmation of this idea, people refer to the memorable expressions of MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA relative to the Estatuto Real—" Here is the cement, it is for you to build." Such is the outline of the speech given in the Debats ; but whether it be correct or not, we are yet without a means of judging. There is no intelligence of any importance from the North of Spain. Various rumours are afloat ; but in truth they are merely rumours—nothing more. The speech of the CZAR is still the subject of much angry discussion. The German Journals have ranged ;hemselves under the sable banner of the AUTOCRAT PARIS, Nov. 21.—The Temps publishes this morning a piece of intelligence, which would be of importance, if it should be confirmed. It says— " If we are well informed, a very curious event in the history of the world is now preparing —it is the approxima tion of the independent Republic of the United States, to Russia governed by Nicholas. The Russian navy, which is so unskilful, has felt the necessity of securing the sup port of a maritime power of the first order ; and it is posi tively affirmed that a secret treaty of alliance has been con cluded between the Government of the United States and that of St. Petersburgh—a kind of act of union, against all future contingencies. " We do not yet believe this very extraordinary piece of intelligence, but it was asserted in the highest circles. We will merely mention, in support of it, that Europe has not paid sufficient attention, for the last three years, to the numerous commercial treaties which have been concluded between Russia and the 'Americans, for the trade of China and the north of Asia, which treaties have doubtless led the way to the political approximation." We have just learnt that the Polish General Pae, has bequeathed 50,000 francs to support the Polish cause, and also a large sum for the formation of a Hotel des Inva lides at Warsaw, on the model of that in Paris. A letter from Noirmontie of the 15th of November says that the cold was very severe and the ice already two inches thick. An eagle, measuring with the wings ex tended eight feet, had just been shot. The arrival of this bird in the island, where none such had ever before been seen, indicates that the cold in the north must be very great. In anticipation of the possibility of a rupture with the United States, our divisions are going to be reinforced. Rear Admiral Mackau, appointed Governor of Martinique instead of Rear Admiral Halgan, will sail at the begin ning of next month. In case of war he will have the command of our forces in the Antilles both by sea and land. Three ships of the line and three frigates are going to join the vessels in those seas for the protection of our commerce.—Messager, Nov. 22. We have received a file of Quebec papers to the Ist inst., with a copy of the speech delivered by his Excellency the GOVERNOR-4N-CHIEF on opening the Provincial Parliament of Lower Canada on the 27th ult. It is almost as long as the longest of President JACKSON'S Messages at the opening of Congress ; while its whole contents might be summed up in a dozen of'lines. His Excellency informs the Cana dians that the supplies have not been forthcoming, and that the Executive cannot go'on without money. This is intelligible. He also promises a redress of grievances, awl guarantees that his IVIAJEsTY's American subjects of every denomination shall be placed on an equal footing. This is sound policy, and deserves to be hailed as a happy indication of the paternal feelings of the present Govern ment. His Excellency further pledges himself to abolish pluralities in official appointments, where the duties are incompatible, or where the emolu ments arising from one office are sufficient for the main tenance of the person nominated to discharge the func ' tions appertaining to it. Here again we have a tnanifes tation of right feeling on the part of the Supreme Go vernment. The measures about to be taken for facilitating the intercourse between the KING and. his Canadian subjects—for preventing unnecessary delay in obtaining the Royal sanction to the Acts of the Provincial Legislature—and for supplying the Mem bers with the facilities of contrasting the expenditure of the Province with the amount of the. taxes levied on the inhabitants—are all such as ought to give universal satisfaction to the Colonists. But there is one paragraph in this speech, to which it would be culpable neglect not to call particular at tention. It is that in which the GOVERNOR-IN-CIII EF offers to all parties an oblivion of past differences. This offer is truly paternal ; and unless the Canadians are blind to their best interests, will diffuse general joy throughout the whole Province. We are most happy to see that the experience of the past is not without its influence in the Councils of the British Cabinet ; and we trust that those individuals who have hitherto roused the indignation of the Canadians against the representative Government, will do all in their power to convey to the colonists correct views of the amicable spirit thus manifested by the mother country. During periods of great political ex citement, excesses will be committed, over which it is the duty of a truly paternal Government to draw a veil. States, like private families, are frequently cognizant of ofrences on the part of excitable mem bers, which it is safest not to examine too closely. In the case of Lower Canada we are glad to see this rule adopted by the MELBOURNE Administration. There were faults on all sides ; and the wisest and best course is to enter into a covenant of mutual regret and forgiveness. We thank the Government for this new proof of its wisdom, moderation, and paternity. When the Emperor CHARLES V. had taken the POPE prisoner, he ordered prayers to be offered up in all the churches for the deliverance of his Holiness from captivity. The Imperial hypocrite could have accomplished, by a single word, that for which the interposition of heaven was to be implored ; but it was very important to his interest to retain possession of the POPE'S person, and no less so to avoid the re proach of impiety which he knew such a proceeding would draw upon him from the whole Christian world. He therefore had recourse to the notable expedient we have mentioned to reconcile the contending claims of interest and piety. The landowners of England are, we think, among the most successful imitators of this species of policy. They are rending the air with the most piteous com plaints of the sufferings of their tenants, and with tears in their eyes imploring from Parliament that re lief which they themselves can grant by a stroke of the pen. They may be assured that they deceive none but themselves by this course. They may get up meet ing without end, clamour till they are hoarse, and agitate (!) among their vassals who dare not refuse to say as they say, and do as they do ; but it is all in vain---utterly in vain—they must reduce their rents. That is the conclusion to which every man who is capable of forming an unbiassed opinion on the sub ject has long since come. It is not to be evaded by petty subterfuges. Quibbling about the effects of 'PEEL'S Bill, and the benefit of a silver standard will not do. The conviction, that the adaptation of the rent of land to the value of the produce which can be raised upon it is the only remedy that can or ought to be applied to agricultural distress, is all but universal. We may venture Ito say that among the agriculturists, THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY, T WEL VF O'CI,OCK.

PLYMOUTH, DEVONPORT, AND EXETER RAIL WAY.--On Friday last a numerous meeting of the influen tial merchants and landholders, and others, in this neigh bourhood, was held at the Guildhall, to take into considera tion the propriety of forming a railway from this port to Exeter, in connection with the line proposed to be brought to that city in conjunction with the Bristol and London Railway.

NOVEL CASE—EX-TARTE GREENHILL. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD appeared to show cause agains t a rule obtained by Mr. Sergeant Wilde, to set aside ac order made .by Mr. Justice Patteson to deliver up three male children, of between the, ages of five and a half and two and a half years, to the custody of the father. the would feel no difficulty as regarded either the law or the practice of the case, but he felt that there were difficulti es which necessarily arose out of the circumstances, and i" which all the best and finest feelings of our nature were concerned. It was impossible for Mr. Greenhill to -vicar cate his character from the aspersions that had been eo t upon it, and which had pronounced him unworthy °f having the charge of his own children—it was h o possib le for him to vindicate himself from chargei wb armed all the best feelings of human nature against 11101 ' without bringing the present unhappy matter before their Lordships. The hardship of the case was, that whe n the facts were presented by a powerful mind, they were t!'" fortunately coloured by representations most deeply 11 rious to the character of Mr. Greenhill. He did n ot these observations complain of his learned friend, but the); were some of the difficulties which naturally arose at et the circumstances of the case. He would now shortlyi state to the Court the facts upon which the decision ° their Lordships would depend, without entering unneees: sarily into the details set forth in the affidavits on bon' sides. It appeared that this lady and gentleman had be,ce, married some years, and it was nearly true, as stated on the other side, that the lady had a fortune of 10,000/. ; tb fact being, that Mr. Greenhill had received 5,000/. on marriage, and Mrs. Greenhill was entitled to 5,000/. more °,°, the death of her mother. But it mattered little Whether the ln° ' had a fortune of .50,0001., or whether she brought no other dowry than her beauty and her virtue ; it was enough that tho lived happily for several years, and were blessed with three children, whose case was now before their Lordships. Th e j, residered at Noel Hall in Somersetshire, and in the re°" of July last they went to Weymouth ; and Mr. Gree nhill was sometimes absent in his yacht, occasionally taking 14rs i t Greenhill with him. Shortly afterwards Mr. Greenhill le. Weymouth for London ; and on the 24th September , In Greenhill received information that her husband had fo ra ' e a connection of an improper nature with a Mrs. Grahal l. Mrs. Greenhill naturally felt great indignation ; but, wi t ty , out further inquiry or explanation, on that day she left ",- husband's house, and having sent her brother, Capt. Ma u : nald, to fetch her three children, took refuge with than her mother's house at Exeter. It was stated that Mr.Gree"' bill had left his wife in a state of miserable destitution; but such was not the fact. Accidentally she bad die much money, and her husband sent her a small of .5/. on her application ; but be left her in full and P e i? '" feet credit, with a family of guests in the house, a nd S u sequently paid nearly 300/. for the couple of months thelYe resided at Weymouth. An attempt had been made 00 t e other side to allege that the visit to her mother was by f o r sanction of her husband, but this was not true ; although they had been invited to her mother's, there v",l no intention of going on Mr. Greenhill's part, and he ba t e actually taken a lodge for - twelve months in the Reg;l l :,. Park, which he bad brought Lady Chambers and "'`, - 1 1 S M'Donald, two relatives of his wife, to look at. ` l ,'" e , was the state of the case between the parties. hearing of the unhappy connection her husband L ' 1 " 1 . formed, Mrs. Greenhill took her children with Pe,' and left her husband's house ; and she now see k 'ei, retain them, not denying him access to them, but "i drawing them altogether from his authority and COntrec: The question simply then was, whether the eircurn st ri e p of the husband being engaged in an intrigue, wool"' o r point of law, justify Mrs. Greenhill in taking possession r the children. Overtures had been made by the defe nd" ; but they had not been accepted, and statements of °`, 1 1., tures on the other side had been made, which were usi' tinctly denied by the defendant. A writ of habeas coif r , to produce the children having been moved for before Justice Patteson on a simple affidavit of Mr. Greel ir , a postponement was requested by the other side. go Chambers, the uncle of Mrs. Greenhill, said the chilfir were at his residence at Coram-street, Russell-square, ' a ' o f would be forthcoming at any time,, and the attendanq t b, Mrs. G. and children at future hearings was dispensed The second hearing came on, and be regretted that it O t l ie hostile one on bath sides ; it was unfortunate that to suggestion of the Learned Judge, that some arrang ec ' e by should be made, had not been acceded to, and thc re ly prevent those unhappy disclosures and that painful Pi a licity which may prevent -a future union. On the 0 00 day there was a hearing before the Vice. Chancellor' de' petition founded upon _the same affidavits, and the u„o ciston of his Honour was that no case for his interfere n:3 had been made out. This having failed, his LO O l , Friend, Sergeant Wilde, then moved for the present Old If this was not a case in which the Court of Chali c . could interfere, possessing as it did an equitable ju ris t tion as Parents patri. • if that Court could not interte'.l a fortiori, it was not a case in which the Co urt !, King's Bench could interfere in arresting the e aurse pi writ of Habeas Corpus. The Learned Sergeant 1)71; ceeded to cite several cases in support of his ar,g 4 ment, which we can merely enumerate, Ist Blackstone, 4;:t0 —the " King v., Manningen," sth East 2 20— e x-P3 e , M'Clelland, Ist Dowling, 81 ; ex-parte Skinner, 9th Ml le 278 ; and the celebrated decision of Lord Eldon, is case of Wellesley v. the Duke of Beaufort; all of wh i ; o fully bore him out in asserting that there was not hing t` the present case which deprived the father of his ri g h authority and control over his children. the Lord DENMAN said there was a strong inclination ocli.cb part of the Court to suggest some arrangemen t sc e l rt ' would prevent the case proceeding further. The Goole were inclined to direct that the order should stand for her delivery of the children to the father, allowing the tO t ' access to them at all reasonable times, and without Prei dice to the rights of the parties. • After a lengthened discussion, in which Mr. Sergelat Wilde, the Attorney-General, Sir William Follett, ° le, Mr. Platt, made some observations in support of the 112 01 3 11? it was arranged that the further hearing of the case ' p et stand over till to-morrow, and that, in the mean t'`,lo counsel on both sides should endeavour to fix upon sl- sc o eligible place in which the children might be properly tli•cty care of, and in which the mother could without impr o r visit thern.—Rule enlarged till to-morrow. • EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DO. ROBERT'S V. WILLIAMS. Oi Lord A BINGER said the question for the consideratiellee the Court in this case was, as to the sufficiency of a °°t,,lbo of action served upon a Magistrate. The attorner,,„ signed the notice had offices in the borough of Rutilbo• while his dwelling-house was without the limits of the 0 rough. The question was, from which the notice sbe,lot, - be dated. In the absence of any decisions upon the Pe„ce, the Court had inquired and found that the general prac-at• and with good reason, was to date from the office of ° o af torney. Take, for instance, the case of a partnership / . 0 0' consisting of three attornies, with offices in the City of Y 4.06 don—all the three having residences in diff eren t parts I'o l county of Middlesex—unless their notices were to be eo n' from their place of business, it would give rise to m uch c fusion. The rule in this case must be discharged. THOMAS V. SHILLIBEER. This case was tried before Mr. Baron Bolland 00 - TV nesday, when a verdict was found for the defendant. facts then appeared in The Sun. Mr. CROWDER this morning applied for and obtaitieue rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground of the case ea, t ; ing been properly left to the Jury by the Learned-Ju l*. AGAR V. BLETHIN. Mr. Sergeant LUDLOW appeared to show cause t 2 P - , of rule calling upon Messrs.

First there was a n e n - t lie r brought against them by the defendants ; and on ti le ' a til e hand, the plaintiffs also brought an action for the, seder money—they applied to the Court under the Interebenv Act, and the parties were left to contend the matter tn,rti selves. It was settled in the Courts of Equity tha t 3 rirol/1 under a bill of Interpleader was entitled to his costs the funds. Mr. Sergeant MEREWETHER appeared upon f*l'd rule, on the part of the defendants, the trustees 0 ' A 0 15 Burdock or Agar. He contended that as the husbay'roel' now clearly to take the money, after an absence of f o e years, during which time he left the woman to do w e (P e she could, he must take it, subject to all its liabilities:l.lrd of which was the costs which the defendant had in the defence of the woman.
