Mr. Betscoe, in returning thanks, was so overpowered by his feelings as scarcely to be able to find utterance to thank the 40 , mpany for th e ensus i astic feeling displayed on the mention of his name, and even on his entrance into the room. Nothing could cheer him so much under his disappointment as the good opinion and attachment which the electors of East Surrey still retained towards him. For himself however, personally, he felt no pain that he had not been successful ,• but on account of the great body which he formerly had the honour to repre sent, he did feel grieved, because he was deprived of the op portunity of ex emp lif y i ng h i s firm regard to their interests, his Unabated desire to promote their happiness, and his unflineb. t 3 ng ad vocacy of their eights.—(Loud cheers.)

"e- Berscos said he could have wished Mrs. Briscoe pre sent to witness the manner in which her name had been received, County of Surrey. Her grandfather sat in five successive aments, twice for Southwark and thrice for Surrey, and ~,,e r efore it was natural for him to feel warmly on the present b — o e t asi°ll , especially as he knew not what sacrifice she would I;,ftlnake in common with himself for the benefit of the t 3 7.—( Cheers.) He concluded by proposing the health chMlijor Beauclerk, which was drank with due honors. efaftajor BEAUCLERK, in returning thanks, said his joy was ened by the reflection that he was no longer the colleague that honourable individual with whom he had sat in Perna tent, and whose conduct he had seen and tried.--( Cheers. ) H e felt like a man who in the. exultation of victory was appalled bl Y ,the recollection twat his companion who had fought and Was by his side throughout a hard engagement. de lta left slain upon the field.--( Hear, hear.) He might be e„, i er aeol wrong by some, and charged with an oveNheated ima lti°n, but a better and an lionester man never stood up for County of Surrey than Mr. Briscoe.—( Cheers.) Having ZTi7 r eturned by a ma j or i ty o f t h e electors, he felt that he ad r u cuild put as id e all personal feeling, and join him whom they turned to serve with him in promoting the interests of th e i. e ountey.—( H ear .) H e should not nourish any hostile L e. i n _ •against him, and he was sure that his friend (Mr. h„ -sc "), although defeated, entertained none.—(" Hear, emitfrom Mr. Briscoe.)

He faction°lQ not go into the House of Commons wedded to any party or bondfor though his natural feelings led him to incline to the party, his father and grandfather being Whigs, he t remember that the sentiments of his constituents ought h ? have their due weight, and that he had no right to enlist fairly fas the votary of either Whigs, Tories, or Radicals, but to consider every question, and decide it in the way best calculated to serve the Country at large.—( Hear.) It had l o ) ten given him great pain to vote against the Whig party, e n etalise he e:i,eerned many men belonging to it ; for instance, eguld know Lord Althorp's character without respect t.}?° 1444 ; he was a real English gentleman, but unfortunately Yield e d too much to the opposite faction—and what was ote the r esult ?

The smallest coin in circulation here is medio (- cent.), though in Lima the cuartillo, equal to half that sum, is , found, but in limited numbers. To remedy this, a conventional law has made two eggs equal to a cuartillo : when the port has been a long time without visitors, the cur rency depreciates so much that three or four eggs are re quired to equal that sum, though this is less fluctuating than the currency of Brazil or Buenos Ayres.— Three Years in the Pacific. q,l/1 - TITE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 23, 1835. LITERATURE. HISTORY OF ENGLAND. VoL. XII. Valpy. London : 1835. CABINET CYCLOIVEDIA. VoL. LXLL Longman. London, 1835. A continuation of Sir James Mackintosh's History of England, by a writer who does not avow his name, but has no reason to conceal it, his work being penned throughout in a temperate, and in parts, in an eloquent, spirit. The character of Queen Elizabeth has been evidently a labor of love with the . author, and accord. ingly he has been successful in it. His details of the naval and military resources of this great queen are full of interest, and show marks of curious and painful research. A better historical volume has not yet ap peared in Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopxdia. SIR W. SCOTT'S PROSE WORKS—Vat. 9. Cadell. Edinburgh, 1835. We have here the second volume of Sir Walter Scott's Life . of Napoleon, terminating with the death of Robespierre, and the first essay in arms of the future dictator of Europe. The cursory sketches that the his torian gives of Damon, Marat, and the other blood thirsty leaders of the Jacobin Clubs—though objected to at the time, as being too highly coloured—are not. a hit too much so, as Mr. Alison has since shown, in his able work on the French Revolution. The volume is embellished with a map, neatly and carefully exe cuted, illustrative of Napoleon's first campaign in the North of Italy ; and two engravings, one of Brienne, where he was educated ; and the other, of the house where he lodged when he first came to Paris. EN CY CL OP-EDIA BRIT ANNICA, VOL. X. Black—Edinburgh, 1835. This is the First Part of the tenth volume of one of the completest works of the sort ever published, got up under the express superintendence of Professor Napier, who, if we mistake not, is editor also of the Edin burah Review. It contains the latest accounts of the latest discoveries in science, geography, mechanics, &c., from the pens of some of the most distinguished writers of the clay, and abounds in histories judiciously abridged, of the more important kingdoms of Europe. In the present part we have a correct and lucid disqui sition on the state of France during the dynasty of Napoleon, down to the period of his abdication in 1814, and the occupation of Paris by the Allied Armies, in which we scarcely know most to admire, the accuracy of the writer's knowledge, or the enlarged and liberal nature of his sentiments. The elaborate essay on " Gas-light," is another article that may be read with advantage, inasmuch as it proceeds from the pen of one who is evidently well versed iu such mat ters. The engravings attached to the part are chiefly illustrative of the art of fortification in its more ab struse branches, and are executed with much care. GREAT YARMOUTH. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) It will be recollected in the late struggle for the represen tation of this borough, the Conservative members Baring and Fraed were returned by a majority of 97, through the influ ence of a self-elected Corporation Conservative Fund, and an organised system of corruption. During the present East Norfolk election the resident freeholders at Yarmouth (consisting of a very large, and, indeed, the most respectable portion of the borough constituency) have, by their strenuous exertions, to a great extent retrieved the disgrace they expe rienced at that time. Although Mr. Windham, the late Mem ber, has been defeated by the small maj or ity of 92 in favour of Lord Walpole, (whose return was alone secured by the cir cumstance of his joining Mr. E. Wodehouse, the nephew of the Lord Lieutenant of the county) . yet of the 706 resi dent freeholders a majority of 137 voted for Mr. Windham, and but for the successful exertions of the Tory Magistrates, Deputy Lieutenants, and the Clergy, whose arbitrary power, equals, if not exceeds that of the Roman Pontificate, combined with Mr. Gurney's late appearance in the field, there is little doubt two Reformers would have been again returned for this district of Norfolk. SOUTH DERBYSHIRE ELECTION. In`reply to an address presented to Lord Melbourne, from a number of the inhabitants of Derby, in December list, his Lordship said, in reference to the relative strength of the Liberal and Tory interests : " Our political adversaries, after all, form a very large and powerful party in this country—a party powerful in number, powerful in property, powerful in rank and station, and, al_ low me to add, a party of a very decided, tenacious, unyield ing, and uncompromising character. You, gentlemen, I know, are stronger than they are ; you are strong in sense and spirit : you are strong in reason and justice, in instruction and in quiry, in the general sympathy and fellow-feeling of the com munity ; but you are not strong enough to be able to afford to be disunited. Let me assure you of that. A party of very inferior strength will ultimately be victorious, if it be conducted with singleness of purpose and unity of action. You are not strong enough to concede these advantages to your opponents, whilst you subject yourselves to the weakness which arises from division ' dissension, and discord." The force and truth of these sentiments have been exem plified in the contest for the representation of South Der byshire. The motto of our opponents has been " Divide and conquer"—they have succeeded by misrepresentation, and the calamitous and immoral, but powerful influence of intemperance in breaking that phalanx, which successfully resisted and overcame them at the last election. Discon. tent with the tardy progress of Reform, deprived the liberal party of much of that zeal and spirit, which gave life and energy to all their proceedings, and bore down effectually all opposition to the Reform candidates. This is, in fact, the principal source of the weakness of the Reform party —the cause that led the way to their defeat—although it is justly attributable to Tory opposition. To this is to be ascribed the lukewarmness of many, who have looked on with indifference, while defection was taking place amongst those electors, whom they mar shalled at the last election for the contest. A mis placed confidence on the party of some has also had a pre judicial effect on the reform interest ; the largeness of the majority of the electors of 1839. rendered many of its friends too secure, too confiding ; they thought it impossible that the Tory candidates could succeed in changing the opinions of so large a number of electors as composed that majority, and they were convinced of their error too late to gain the vantage ground they had lost. But these advantages added to the increased influence brought to the Tory in terest by Sir George Crewe's name, would not, we feel sure, have been sufficient to turn the scale in their favour without the plentiful libations poured down the throats of venal electors in honour of the Tory candidates.— Derby Reporter. FlRE.—This morning, about a quarter to one o'clock, a fire broke out in the lower part of the immense pre mises of Mr. Dean, hosier, corner of Duncannon-street, and opposite Hungerford-market, Strand. A policeman of the F division was on duty, and perceiving more than ordinary light in the shop his suspicions induced him to alarm the in mates. Some of them had retired to bed, but fortunately, with the assistance of the neighbours, they were extricated from their dreadful situation. Before one o'clock the Bed fordbury and County engines arrived, but it was some time before the firemen could procure any water, by which time nearly the whole of the stock and premises were consumed. About half-past two the fire was entirely subdued, and the affrighted inhabitants retired to rest. The property on the premises and building are insured in the Phoenix and Sun Fire offices. The house of Mr. Smith, tailor, in the Strand, has sustained some damage, but fortunately the Charing cross stables and tap have escaped, though the utmost alarm pre vailed for some time on account of their being so near the pre mises destroyed. We are happy to say that the business of the Golden Cross Hotel has not been interrupted. THE NFIV JUDGE.—It being considered rather too barefaced to pay Mr. Sergeant Spankie for his apostacy, pend ing the elections, Mr: Sergeant Coleridge, a lawyer without distinction in his profession, and little known in Westminster hall, but who had earned the patronage of the Tories, as the manager and editor of the Quarterly Review, previously to its passing into the present hands, has been appointed to the 'vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Justice Taunton-- Morning Paper The volume before us comprises that eventful period in English history which commences with the revolu tion in 1688, and closes with the death of George the Second, in 1760. It forms a portion of Smollett's continuation of Hume, and is embellished with two engravings, the best of which is the execution of Ad miral Byng, who is represented kneeling on a cushion, with his eyes bandaged, and a handkerchief in his handy with which he is just about to give the fatal signal to the men, who arc standing before him with their muskets at their shoulders, ready for firing. The engraving is by Rogers, and is of the average merit. WEST CUMBERLAND ELECTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The polling commenced here on Tuesday morning, and by dint of extreme exertion the nominees of the Earl of Lonsdale have gained a majority on the first day's struggle, but there is no doubt that the Reforming Candidate will stand in a very different situation at the close of the poll. The voters for Major Aglionby are all plumpers, and even those who vote against him admit that a more fitting representative could not be sent from any constituency. It is said that this contest will cost the Tories at least ten thousand pounds, and Major Aglionby nothing He has not canvassed himself, nor does he appear at the hustings ; so that the freeholders who vote for him do so entirely on principle. Every hole and corner of the kingdom has been raked for Tory freeholders, or at least for those who are any way under the influence of Lord Lonsdale, and some have travelled more than 200 miles to the election. I transmit you the state of the poll, as I promised, at the close of the first day. There are yet nearly 2,000 to poll, and I hope that the above majority will be diminished.—Yours, &c., Whitehaven, Jan. 20. B. H. STATE OF THE POLL FIRST DAY.—JaN. 20.

JAN. 14. —Sir JOHN JUDRIN FITZGERALD, one of the twelve Aldermen who in the good old Constitutional times used to elect the representative for Cashel, rose to propose Mr. Pen nefather, and spoke for three hours in order to kill time. He said, among other things recorded of him in the newspapers, that lie understood there were two people—he meant two gen tlemen—proposed for the representation of Cashel. The first was his friend Captain Pennefather, who resided constantly on his estate, and spent among his neighbours the riches with which the Almighty had blessed him. The next man we have is Louis Perrin, Esq., a gentleman deservedly esteemed, and high in his profession. Mr. Perrin, gentlemen, is his Ma jesty's first Sergeant at law and Judge expectant, gentlemen ; and, gentlemen, I wonder what great experiment he is on to come down here. Gentlemen, a seat in Parliament is a great as sistance in climbing up to the judicial bench.—( Groans.) And if lie gets in and all to this, he will get a retiring pension.-- Any place, gentlemen, will answer for him. He is not of this country.—( Great uproar, caused by the corporation rabble.) In looking to the addresses of the two gentlemen, excepting words, gentlemen, they are the same--( Laughter)—gentle men, I say, except in words, I see no difference in either of the addresses.—( Loud laughter and uproar.) Mr. Pennefather's address was first put forward, and, I believe, the Learned Ser jeant copied it.—( Continued laughter and confusion.) Gen tlemen, there is one paragraph in Mr. Perrin's address which has astonished me much. —lt is this —" The crisis demands all your energies. A powerful and long dominant party, the steady and uniform enemies of Reform and religious liberty have made a desperate effort to regain their sway and stem the current of improvement. We must resist and overthrow them, or be for ever fallen."—( Loud cheers.) Gentlemen, here is a gentleman holding a high situation in his Majesty's service. Were lin his situation, I would say, if I entertained those sentiments, " I am no longer able to be your servant—l resign my Sergeancy."—(Grear uproar.) I say he is not an independent man if he retains the Sergeancy. I perceive, gentlemen, by Mr. Perrin's address that he is for the total ex tinction of tithes; he does not say abolition, for he is a Mi- Wished Chur e L adequate competency for the ministers of the Esta blished of the Crown—( A laugh)—he says he is for giving a fair - and Hear, hear, from Mr. Perrin.) Gentle men, my worthy m enu f —hom I have had the honour o f pro posing says b e w ill give his vote or the settlement of the -.lemen question.—( G rea t disapprobation.) b et . — there is another subject on which I have to add ress y ou . Tie earned Sergeant contributed to the success of the Reform Bill, a BHA which Daniel O'Connell himself is opposed to.—( Groans.) The Hon. Sergeant is at the head of the Corporate Com missioners : gentlemen, he never accepted that situation with out being amply paid for his labour.—( Disapprobation.) Mr. FOGARTY (one of the Commissioners)—H e never re ceived a farthing for his trouble, nor would accept it when offered. Sir JOHN FITZGERALD—WeII ! It is a long time sire° that commission began, and a long time since it ended, and no one knows anything about it. Sir Robert Peel says he never saw it. Mr. Pennefather, by going to Parliament, wants nothing for himself or for his friends. They have enough already.— (A voice in the crowd, " The Corporation lands, to wit.") The Learned Sergeant, if he goes to Parliament, goes under different eir cumstances. If be does not vote according to his promises—which I say he has no right to do unless he resigns his Sergeancy—for if he does not, he will be treated as every other unfaithful servant is treated, he will be turned from his of fice with a bad discharge—( Laughter)—and he will then lose his chance of a seat on the judicial bench.—( Loud laughter and uproar.) Gentlemen, should the Learned Sergeant be re turned (which I confidently hope he will not), I am sure he will be very much obliged to you. He will thankfully take his leave of you, go into his carriage, and set off for Dublin to bag the briefs, and think no more of his friends in Cashel. Continued laughter.) I say that he will not be able to keep his promises, for they cannot be fulfilled. The sapient Baronet kept it up at this rate for an immense length of time, uttering things true and untrue, wise and foolish, favourable to his own side, and unfavourable, until the patience of his auditors was completely worn out. Mr. WOOD (not " Tom Wood"), in seconding the nomina tion of Mr. Pennefather, said he thought Sir Robert Peel was a sensible man, and should change with the times. Tempora mutantur, 4^e. Mr. O'BarEN, in a speech characterized by good feeling and an independent spirit, proposed Mr. Perrin to the electors amid great cheering. Mr. DOHINY, in a speech of great eloquence, seconded the nomination. Mr. PENNBPATHER addressed a few words to the electors. He said, " I hope and trust the people of Cashel will not de ceive me, and I will not deceive them. Come to the poll and place me at the head of it. My address is before you ; Ido not belong to any party." Sir JOHN FITZGERALD (nudging his elbow)—Say you will not vote for any Administration that won't be for the good of the country. The worthy candidate would not take the hint, but con eluded his address in " expressive silence." Sergeant PERRIN, amid l ou d and long-continued cheeri ng , presented himself. He would not detain them long at that late hour. We have business to do; and, with the blessing of God, we will do it.—(Cheers.) You have heard a long speech, which I have not time to dissect. It has been well answered by my eloquent friend, Mr. Doheny, and we will answer it again by the result of the poll.—(Cheers.) You have been told that lam a stranger. lam personally a stran ger to you, though born in your neighbourhood ; for I had the good luck to draw my first breath on the banks of the Suir, within a stone's-throw of Clonmel.—( Cheers.) If a stranger, I am not unknown to you and your friends—not unknown to those in whom you implicitly and deservedly place confi dence. I aridetiti'ai property to rely on—nothing to recommend me to you but my character. On that I rely, and on that I confidently lay my claims for your support.—( Loud ' cheers.) The Hon. Baronet has laid a great number of inconsistent dlidrgeS againk Me. Ile hat told you that I, a King's Sergeant, put forward in my address (which he also says is a servile copy of my honourable oppo net's)—( Great laughter) —that I will resist and endeavour to overthrow the present Administiatinn. lie did not, in that statement, go beyond what my opinions are.—(Loud cheer ing.) Ido here, before you, in the hearing of the electors of Cashel, avow myself the uncompromising enemy of that Mi nistry, th e w h o l e p o li t i ca l lif e o f every one of whom has been passed in opposing civil and religious liberty and refortn.— ( Great cheering.) Having briefly adverted to other topics in Sir John's rambling oration, and distinctly asserted, in con tradiction to one of that worthy gentleman's charges, that he had opposed the Coercion Bill, clause by clause, and every particle of it, the Learned Sergeant concluded by making a request—namely, that in this contest we shall be pedeetible, and quiet, and orderly. Let us act in the spirit of freemen.— (Cheers.) Our watchword shall be " Liberty t " and freedom we will obtain.._( Loud and general cheering.) The show of hands was declared by the Mayor to be in fa vour of Mr. Perrin. A poll was demanded, and the parties polled one each, when the Court adjourned. THURSDAY.—The polling proceeded very tediously; and at the close, the numbers were, for Pennefather 56 Perrin FRIDAY.—Mr. Pennefather was exhausted yesterday, and the polling now was entirely in favour of his opponent. But a petition having been threatened, on the ridiculous plea that the Catholic voters had qualified, by swearing the accustomed affidavits before the Magistrates at Quarter Sessions, it was deemed advisable to keep the poll open during the whole time allowed by law. Yesterday ( Monday) it was finally closed, when the num bers were declared, for Pennefather Perrin And the latter gentleman was of course duly 'elected. In k ndletdh,e whichevenin g a t h p e a t d o w m n a l; s s t r i a l t l n r a . t e F d i , t rig and a a i d b , o w n e p w r o a s . o c e f e thedin g p t e o cro e e x .... t i nt ke i p s h e , e i b e r y s t 1.1,e hßutelp omf r. t h p o s e e r r n op i n u l t a e r r f guardians prevailed on the people, to remove it without the interference of those gentlemen. A bright fire was then kindled on the top of the rock of Cashel, where it blazed away, unmolested by any dog in office, till morning—" t h e cynosure of Tery eyes."y The faction is enraged at this victory, and the Evening Mail has some egregious lies upon the subject, which will be duly copied into the Standard and Post, to, comfort the good souls who love Corporation plunder in,England. Among other fictions it is stated, that the priests went out on Sunday last with crucifixe s in their hands, calling on the people . to vote for " Perrin and their God." It is a sufficient exposure of that atrocious falsehood to state, that the voting was all over before Sunday ! But it is by such pious frauds that old women (of fiboth sexes) are terrified into a good Conservative alarm, very t for the purposes of the knaves who fatten upon them One word as to petitions. The war of bribery is to be fol lowed up by the same honest party, and of course out of the same funds, by a war of petitions. Every member whom the unbought suffrages of the country have placed over a Tory competitor is to be harassed with petitions. Ruinous expenses are to be heaped on his head. He is to be impoverished per fas et nefas, and the chance of the ballot tried for a good Tory Committee, to despatch him outright. Nothing, in short, can be more audacious than the open-mouthed profligacy of the vile crew, who flatter themselves that they havo regained the absolute rule and sovereignty. SIR R. PEEL AND THE DISSENTERS The Patriot of last night gives the following account of the interview between Sir Robert Peel and Dr. Pye Smith and Mr. Clayton, to which allusion was lately made by the Record : " It is true that both the Rev. Dr. Pye Smith,and the Rev. John Clayton severally received a letter from Sir Robert Peel, requesting them to call upon him ; and that each 6f the two Rev. Gentlemen, though surprised at the communication, felt that they could do no less than wait upon the Premier, agree ably to his request, each supposing the interview would be private. When the Learned Doctor arrived, he was surprised to find his brother Clayton already there ; and it afterwards appeared that Mr. Edgar Taylor had also been sun.moned to the conference. The'only topic upon which it appeared that their opinions were wished for related to Dissenters' mar riages. No other subject was adverted to. The Rev. Gen tlemen, in expressing their sentiments, explicitly stated that they must be understood as conveying only their personal opinions; adding, that in those opinions many of their brethren might not entirely coincide. And we understand that Dr. Smith, with his characteristic manliness and simpli city, avowed that his political opinions were in accordance with those of his Majesty's late Ministers. We say no more of the interview, than that Sir Robert Peel did not by any means seem prepared to go as far as any reasonable Non conformist ought to desire' on the point in question, and that nothing could be gathered from it as to the general intentions of the Government in other particulars. The conduct of Sir Robert Peel we must regard as anything rather than frank, open, or statesmanlike. Had he wished for infor.nation as to the sentiments of the Protestant Dissenters, tile natural course would have been, to open a conference with their accre dited delegates. The Rev. and Learned Gentlemen who were honoured with Sir Robert Peel's summons to: his extra ordinary conference were placed in a very delicate and invi dious predicament. The interview had a clandestine, without being of a confidential, character; and it could not but be wholly unsatisfactory to all parties. " With regard to the Marriage Bill, we are convinced that, apart from a national registration, based upon broad principles, no efficient or acceptable measure can be devised. Half of the difficulty relates to registration ; and if this is to be left in the hands of the clergy, we are sure that no party will be satisfied. On the other hand, a separate registration for Dissenters' marriages would be open to serious objections, which every lawyer will appreciate, and would only graft fresh inconveniences upon a vicious system. " We have had no communication with either Dr. Smith or Mr. Clayton on the subject of this article, but we arc well per suaded that they would both resent the insolent compliment paid to them by the Record, at the expense of their brethren. Mr. Clayton is understood to be in politics more of a Con servative than the learned Doctor; but we know no one who more happily unites a firm, uncompromising attachment to liberal principles, with suavity of temper and high-toned piety, than Dr. S m ith ; an d we b e li eve we s h ou l d do him no wrong by ascribing to him an entire communion of sentimea with the feelings expressed in the masterly addresses to uhich Mr. Thomas Wilson's name is subscribed as chairman." 0 FRENCH PAPERS. The English journals have stated, and the French jour nals have repeated, that the Charge d'Affaires of France at Lisbon, and the Spanish Ambassador at the same Court, were not present at the ceremony of the marriage of the Queen of Portugal. We, however, are authorized to de clare that this statement is entirely false, and that both these diplomatists were present at the ceremony, as well as all their colleagues.—Journal des Debats. The Belgian Commissioners appointed to make the pre liminary arrangements for a treaty of commerce between Frame •Lnd Belgium are expected at Paris towards the end . Some difficulti es , w hi c h h ave hi therto of the present -ri:2.ntl! impeded the conelusica; of this treaty, are sa id to b e i n a way of being removed. A very correspondence on th e subject has been going on between the :W 0 Governments for several months past, and it seems that the mission of M. Azevedo was connected with this affair. The Indicatcur of Bordeaux of the 18th instant, givei the following extract of a letter from the Bastan, dated the 15th :—" Yesterday, and the day before, the Carlists kept up a firing upon the fortified houses at Elisendo, but with no better success than heretofore. There is no other news from this quarter. The Carlists make only trifling military promenades ; and this petty warfare, which ends in nothing but slight skirmishes, is best suited to their means and organization. A letter of the 13th from Pampeluna states, that the Queen's troops having escorted a convoy into that fortress, marched out again to meet the Carlists at Puete. Zumalacarregui is in the Borunda. It appears that some decisive blow is about to be struck, since Gene ral Mina, whose health is improved, is about to place him self at the head of his troops." The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of Bayonne of the 17th inst., has the following :—" On the morning of the 15th, a great number of waggons, laden with arms and ammunition, passed through this town on th, it way to the frontier, and It is believed they. were destined for the Queel 's army in Navarre." We have just learned from the fro . .itier that, in the night of the 14th, an Englishman of note was ar rested beyond Montdarrain, in the attempt, with seven or eight others, to make his way into Spain. The latter fled into the interior, leaving behind them two handsome cavalry sabres, and a very rich Cloak." The Ministerial evening journal has the following " According to the Carlist bulletin, the Grenada provincial battalion was very severely cut up. Its Colonel, the Mar quis de Campo Verde, was able to save only a few of his mon. There is evidently in this bulletin, as in all those issued by the Carlists, a great deal of exaggeration. It however appears to be certain that the battalion was sur prised by Eraso, and that it sustained a considerable loss. General Mina has just organised 19 battalions for forming the active army. It is hope that he will be shortly able to to take the command in person. Letters from Madrid, dated the I lth, state the apprehensions of a change in the Ministry have given new force in the public opinion to M. Martinez de la Rosa and M. de Toreno." The Augsburg gazette of the 17th inst. has the follow- ing from Rome of the Bth :—" An ordinance has just ap peared, which attaches a Chamber of Discipline to every Tribunal, fixes the dues of the Treasury, diminishes the fees of advocates, and orders a more rigorous examination for the clerks. The Reglamenti Legislalivi contain no new laws ; in fact, they are merely a collection of those al ready in operation. The amounts of the farmed product of the local entrance duties have been published, as follows : —Rome, 778,240 crowns ; Bologna, 195,000 ; Ferrara, 65,000 ; Paoli, 59,000 ; Ravenna ; 49,000. Total, 1,146,240 crowns. The Bavarian Charge d'Affaires in Greece has arrived here, on his return to Germany." The Gazette quotes the funds at Vienna on the 12th— Five per Cent. Metallics, 1001 ; Four per Cents. ditto, 924 ; Bank Actions, 1,301. Letters of the 12th inst., from Vienna arc by no means satisfactory as to the operations of the Diet of Transylva nia. The spirit of party has hitherto prevented its coming to any results ; the Members have been whole weeks dis puting about insignificant forms, and after having been as sembled for six months, the Diet has not yet been able to constitute itself so as to enter upon the important questions submitted to it by the Government. In the meantime, disturbances have arisen in several places, in consequence of the rivalry between the people and the magisti acy. The Government will be forced to interfere, and it is said to be already decided that several battalions shall be sent into Transylvania.

The troops of Busi amount to - abotiv, 16,000 men, but the fortress of Berat, in the posses sion of the Government troops, was sufficiently provided with provisions, and had nothing to fear from an attack of the insurgents. Several Beys had assembled in Scutari, in order to deliberate with Hafis Pasha, the Governor of that place, relative to the means of restoring order in Albania. A postscript, dated Dec. 27, states that intelligence had been received by the Ottoman Consul-General from the Pasha of Janina, that the rebels had evacuated the town of Berat, and the Consul was of opinion that tranquillity would be completely restored."

When the Globe talks of candour, it pufs 'us iii mind of Lady Blarney's dissertation upon virtue. " Virtue," says her Ladyship, " is worth any money:; but where is that to be found ?" So it may be said " the candour of the Globe, like that of the Whig- Radical faction, is worth any money ; but where is that to be found ?" Certainly not in the columns which marshal every day, under the name of Reformers, a large majority of violent and pledged thick-and-thin opponents of all measures, good and bad, which have not the sanction of the Melbourne and Brougham Ad ministration of " do-little and do-less memory "— a majority that only exists in . the writer's im ag i na ti on , or somewhere in the terra incognita of the m oon . The Globe may give us what party Kickname it pl eases . We are content to be tried and judgeci by our acts, as we trust the King's Ministers will be. We are not ambitious of being distinguished, like our Contem porary, for that versatility of genius which made it figure as the most servile Tory and anti-Reform paper under the Duke of Wellington's former Administration ;—the no less servile Whig and just inediumist Journal under the Whig Ministry, and the obsequious oracle of Whig-Radicalism and O'Con nellite agitation during the " crisis," which it ex pected would restore its late patrons to power, and to what was to them the most precious parts of patriotism, the command and distribution of the loaves and fishes, with all the " baskets of fragments" which their no less patriotic sycophants were accustomed to gather u'p. When the Globe was a Tory Paper we advocated the same principles that we do now, when that Journal has got so far on the road of Whig-Radical doctrines as to acknowledge its sympathy with the cause - of the repeal-agitator, with the begging-box in one hand, and the skull and cross-bones in the other. Let the Evening Journal of both Tory and Whig Governments talk as it will of its devotion to liberty and liberal principles, we cannot forget that it defencled, and even eulogised, all the despotic and sanguinary proceedings of the Doctrinaire Government of France, including the state of siege, the military tribunals, and their sentences of death, which the Court of Cessation sub. sentiently annulled; the massacres of Paris and Lyons, and all the police cineutes which have disgracefully distinguished the reign of the King of the Barricades. We recorded our opinions in opposition to the Whig Journals on all these topics, as well as on the skameful apathy with which the liberty-loving Whigs beheld the struggle and extinction of Poland, and the slavish sub . - mission to the Russians' Autocrat which they dis played in assisting that object by the Russian-Dutch Loan job. When we were advocating under the Whig, as we did under the Tory Government, a full and efficient reform of the Criminal Laws, we found no such opposition offered any where to that species of reform as was offered by the Globe. Day after day we were called upon to expose and refute the miserable sophistries which that Journal put forth in defence of those cruel and barbarous punishments which create sympathy for the crimi na l an d di sgust fo r t h e law—re volting to the reason of enlightened men, and opposed to that moral power with which judicious legislation would invest the majesty of justice. Yet, as soon as it was ascertained that the Whigs were out of office, the same Journal ex claimed, " Will the country trust the working of the reformed criminal law to the advocates of cruel and sanguinary punishments ?" But we tell our contem porary, though he applies to us the epithet of " Tory," because we do not become factious for the Whigs in their disgrace, whom we never bowed down before when in power, that we are not yet as well satisfied with the reform of the criminal law as he appears_to be, and shall not be satisfied, whoever may regulate the political destinies of this country, until the penal code shddl have become, in all respects, worthy of the Christian civilization of England. To all other measures of reform and improvement which we have at any time supported we still adhere, and, in due season, will prove that political vicissitudes have worked no change in our principles or opinions. As we have never advocated measures of destruction, under the name of improvement—as we have never preferred speculative innovations and new-fangled de mocratic doctrines to the good old tried principles of our mixed Constitution—we do not intend to begin now to follow in the path of destructive councils. Ou object is to repair—to beautify—to restore—not to pull to pieces and destroy in the rage of rabble excite,- ment, or the wantonness of " philosophic " experiMent. The reform and preservation of our national institu tions, and the improvement of the moral and social condition of the gre4t mass of the people, are objects of far more value in our eyes Alan any thing connected with the struggles of political rivalry, and the conflicts of party ambition. The nicknames of party may hive charms for others. We judge of politicians by their acts alone ; and by that infallible test, in spite of the clamour of a selfish faction, who dignify their avarice of power with the name of patriotism, shall we. judge of the merits of the existing Administration.--Mora. ing Herald. It is stated, and we apprehend with truth, that ac tive communications have for some time been_ going forward between his Majefy's Ministers and those of the Established religion, wfth a view, at least on the secular Government, to an extensive and substantial reform of the Church, in what concerns its temporal administration. There seems to us as little benefit'as there would be virtue in denying that the temporal church is eaten up with abuses, which, if they operated no further than upon the rights and interests of the ia dividuals themselves who compose the body of the clergy, would demand an immediate remedy ; but re acting, as they do, upon the whole of society, and de feating in a measure the great ends forwhich a Church was instituted, they call still more loudly for correction: The entire temporal Church of England is disfigured by blemishes and administrative errors. Thom the bishop to the curate much is out of joint : from the_ bishop, whose position too frequently permits him la do wrong with impunity, to the curate, who • too fre quently suffers it without redress, the hand of thellegis lator is required for purposes of restraint or of . protec tion. In any process of Church reform, therefore;' it is that no portion of the cstablislint should be left by its framers out of their serionscon- - templation. If the appointment, the condition, and 'co - 1) - 37 duct of the highest order of clergy, with all thei4atY&ll 7 .- dant circumstances, be not adverted to, and all abu.ies- - relating to them provided against, as well as .those which concern the unfortunate parochial drudges, the Reform will be but nominal, or at least but partial and insignifi cant, and held in utter disapproval and contempt by the laity. The Right Reverend Bench, it is understood,. are .busied with the consideration of a variety , of mea sures under the head of Church Reform. We hope that these venerable persons will begin by a full inves tigation, and a frank avowal of whatever facts are cal culated to throw the clearest light upon the temporal . stain of the Right Reverend Bishops themselves, their emornnieriLs their powers, their patronage, their duties, ? and that there Nv2 l be no shrinking, either from:the de tection of grievance, pr the application of a remedy. There is an enormous inequality in the sees of . Bishops and in their incomes, which, taken together : with. the practice of translation, opens a field, while it offers a bribe, to endless intrigue, and its characteristic weapons , servility, duplicity, cunning, and a selfish indifference to the spiritual duties of the see. An • absolute equalization of episcopal revenues in all instances would perhaps be not easily practicable, nor altogether justifi able. But there ought to be an equalization in Many-in stances, and a greater approximation in all. The Arch bishoprics, with the Bishoprics of London and Durham, might have larger incomes annexed to them than .any of the other sees, and all the others be as nearly as possible equalized in the amount both of their duties - and their emoluments. The episcopal holding of livings in cornmendant is one of the corruptest abuses of the times of Papal oppression : it is one of the worst species of pluralities, and forces the Bishop who holds it to neglect either his cure of souls, or the ma nagement of his diocese. He cannot, we -suppose, administer his see by deputy, and he ought not to set the bad example of instructing his flock by proxy. The system which is known by the name of Dean and Chap ter estates must be revised and rectified. • ..fi 7 o reform of the establishment will deserve the name which does not apply a searching hand to these hitherto much-abusedte. venues.
