In, a Report of t:le grand dinner given to Mr. O'CONNELL at GlasgOw, which appears in another be found a triumphant re column of The Sun, will futation of the calumnies of the Tory scribes, that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was welcomed and en tertained only by the dregs of the Glasgow populace. gt A s zimptuous and expensive dinner," says our re port, “vvas provided for him at the Town-hall on Tuesday, where not less than four huDdred of the richest and .most respectable merchants and traders of the town, assen. , bled to feast with their distingin . ohed guest, and throu'ghout the whole evening, nothing could exceed the e nthusiasm which they evinced, not only towards the sent,'-iments he expressed, but towards himself personally." it. t this dinner, where it seems many of the most distingul'Aed inhabitants of Glasgow were present—men who have ;_x strong, direct, and per sonal interest in the maintenauce of good order, and will countenance no project that J . ,ends to its subver sion—Mr. O'CoNNELL spoke out on the subject of a Reform in the House of Lords with mole explicitness and energy than he has yet done. "My t ;uty," he ob served, "is to propose a reformation of the Upper Chamber ; and that, I confess, is the prime ob ect of my mission through England and this country. 'Tis now the leading object of my politico l life, .ancl therefore I disclaim occupying the principal portion of my mind with any other topic, until I see the oligarci:v in the House of Lords mitigated, and an effectual Refcrm introduced into that branch of the Legislature. This is my present mission, and I am, 0 as it were, but the bellows-blower to set the organ in motion." We are ,alighted to find Mr. O'CONNELL thus pledging himself to concentrate the whole energies of his comprehensive mind on one subject, and that, one of the most important that can engross the atten tion of the public. Let him not swerve from this in tention, for by prosecuting it ivith steadiness and re solution, at every convenient opportunity, he will be laying the surest foundation of his country's happi ness. The Lords, if not the sole, are at any rate, the chief, enemies of Ireland's welfare ; by insisting then on the reform of their institution, Mr. O'CoNNELL will be doing her a thousand times more practical good, than he could ever hope to accomplish by agitating such a frantic question as Repeal. In the one case, he has an enlightened majority of three kiflgdoms arrayed on Lis side ; in the other, he has precisely the same majority ranged against him. Indeed we know of no g r e,at public question which has made such rapid advances in so short a space of time, as that of a Reform in Ow House of Lords. It has sunk deeper into the mind or the people than even Triennial Parliaments, and the Ballot. But one short year ago it was the apparently hopeless project of a small mino rity ; it has now become the cherished wish of an over whelming majority. The country now sees that it has little or nothing to expect in the way of sound im provement, so long as the House of Lords is permit ted to exercise irresponsible authon.tY ; and know ing this, is resolved to reform thtZt institution, be the difficulties what they may. In his agitation of this all-absorbing question, Mr. O'CorlNEti, is act ing with more discretion than we ever gave him %credit for, as will be seen in his letter to the Belfast Re formers, wherein he declines their flattering invitation to a public dinner, " because," to use his own words, " th 3 state of party feeling in your town and pro vince such—the spirit of Orangeism is so much infused into a portion of the Protestant commu nity—that, in spite of all we could do, this fes tival would b..' looked upon as originating in party motives ; we who would meet only to celebrate the triumphs . already achieved, and to pro . claim the hopes of the Peaceable and constitutional Reformers—would be looi:d upon as congregated rather to insult the opinions ef others, than to assert ,our own." This is sound polic;', and can scarcely fail to inspire those who have hithel::o imagined Mr. O'CoNNELL to be too much swayed by impulse, with c onfidence in his foresight and the sobn,ety of his judgment. The Faris papers of Wednesday, received this mt.:ru ing, have the greater part of their columns devoted to the affairs of Spain. As the advices published by them are not of a later date than those which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, we find nothing in them, with the exception of editorial opinions and comments upon facts with which the people of England are not alretNly conversant. It is very evident from the tone of the IV.inisterial Journals that the French Government is seriously alarmed at the rapid progress made by the provincial Juntas, and still more at the apparent union which is about to be effected between these bodies , and the Madrid Cabinet. France was pre viously unacquainted with the fact that every part of Spain is fraught with the elements of a mighty revo lution. The Municipal form of Government which prevailed for more than two centuries past in every city large town in Sp ain—notwithstandin g the civ i l ' and •4, so frequently distracted the country— wars whi , •i n the hearts of the people a spirit . and has generated a has cherished . has fostered a growing desire for mofer ito r iotis independenceci vc - - - stint , itement of the elements of ethical zeal for the acqu 1--inwlenconeeicAble by those and political xi.- - dg cou e ntry i throu g h the medium of who only kno w that de booki; gui - and the journals of fashionable tourists. -rds know little or nothing of s cience, It is true the Spamt— • • as the term is understeDJ. 111 England. They know ~educed by the toe-bone m ore of the magnetic effects 1 . " . • a Saint, than they do of the ni..?6ll'CY's gm . pass. • • Of es.. $ z p '. , ctricity, unless the expression may be apu the magic g lances of bright eyes, they are wholly igno rant. Political economy, as the Benthamites un derstand, it has made no great progress among them ; . and their clumsiness in e use of dissecting instru ments, is a source of constant' regret among the more scientifical operators of London Paris. Their :tld wo men are but indifferent botanists, d never includ e drawing and sketching among the es sential re quisites for an accomplished housewife. But with at; these drawbacks—and we admit them to be very great—the bulk of the Spanish inhabitants of towns are as well acquainted with the true principles of Represen tative Government as the same class of per sons in either England or France. This is partly owing to the municipal institutions men ' tioned above ; partly to the enlightened efforts of the Free Masons—a most numerous and intelligent body—and partly to the societies called Communeros, which were established in 1820, and rapidly spread throughout every part of the kingdom. The object of this last institution was to teach all Spaniards that the King only held and derived his power from the people ; thgt what was the national will constituted the supreme law; that a nation to be free must have a constitu tion and laws to which all subjects should have equal access, and under which all should enjoy equal pro section ; that the Representatives of the people, pro perly chosen and elected by them, were only em powered to alter, amend, or interpret the con stitution ; and that all systems of Government, in which the principle of popular representation did not prevail, were despotisms. When doctrines such as these become general, we need not be sur : sed that the more reflecting and intelligent do no: strictly confine their application to politics. Hence the Spaniards heard, without surprise or asto nishment, the 2 nnouncement of the QUEEN I S Govern ment for the sui;pression of nine hundred convents, and the application (.4 the surplus property of the Church to the liquidation of the necessary expenses of the State. Once the " voluntary principle, as the Dissenters call it, finds its way into the human mind, all inaction ceases. With its introduction there is a complete revolution of the whole moral system. What was be fore adamant seems to have acquired the brittlends of glass, and every step is preceded by some inquiry bolder and subtler than the last. Republicanism, like yeast, goes on fermenting until the whole mass is imbued with it : nor is it possible to draw a line of impassible demarcation between the application of those principles of Government which apply to the body and the soul. As Spain becomes more free she will become less bigotted. Her Republicanism has taught her to rid herself of the Monks ; an increase of political and moral knowledge will induce her to fling off the spiritual yoke under which she has so long groaned. Recede she cannot ; and though every step in advance must, be made with caution—surrounded as she is by enemies— the hour is fast approaching when her people will be ranked among the most enlightened in Europe. France, under a liberal Government, would rejoice at the prospect of a speedy regeneration of Spain ; but under the despotic sway of Louis PHILLIPPE, she is ready to join the Carlists in extinguishing every spark of liberty which animates the bosoms of the Spanish populace. France loves to have all her neighbours of her own way of thinking. , Having bowed her neck to the yoke of an apostate BOURBON, she would, if possible, free herself from the necessity of listening to the voice of freedom. Do we blame the French people for this ? By no means. They will only merit censure when they quietly acquiesce in the justice of the despotical Government of Lours PIIILLIPI'E. That they will ever do this we cannot believe for a moment ; neither could we be persuaded that they are not at this very instant preparing to rid themselves of a tyranny more degrading than that from which they were deliver by the abdication of CHARLES X. In speaking of France, as vacil lating in her Councils-- - fluctuofing in her re solves—and despotic in her desires, we only include the King of the FRENCH and his Cabinet. France, as a nation, and taken in the aggregate, is too enlightened, too liberal, too high-minded, and too just, to give her sanction to the base acts of the political harlequin and adventurer who now sways her desti nies. We admire her greatness, and are proud of the growing intimacy between her people and the subjects of Great Britain, and therefore it is that we express regret for being too often obliged to couple her noble name with the acts of the apostate who now assumes the sovereignty of her people.

(Before Mr. TABILY N. ) The Court sat this moiling at half-past nine, and corn me'aced with the revision of the l'st for the parish of ST. VEDAST, FOSTER-LANE. The claim of N. H. Codes, of Chcapside, was opposed by Mr. Goodeve, the Conservative agent, on the ground that the rate had not been paid for twelve months. The payment of the rate and King's taxes was proved, and the objection was disallowed. The name of Henry Kolle, senior, was struck out, he having retired from business. The claim of John Henry Koile was opposed by Mr. Goodeve. The claimant carried on business in the parish of St. Mary AMprmanbury un lq Christrngs last. and frpm 4110 • at la theaps a ide, t 'under the title of kolic and Son s He had paid aii the rt;;,:::: taxes *ince that time. father had retired from business, and he VMS now inyart nerohip with his brother Charles, although the original title of the firm vat* retained. He paid a rent of 420/. per annum. Mr. Goodeve contended, that the claim having been made in the name of Kolle and Son, was not properly made. Independently of this, the claimant had not proved that he had paid the rate for twelve months previous to the 31st July. It appeared on a subsequent examination that the King's taxes were not paid till the 14th of August, and the objec tion was allowed. ST. NICHOLAS ACONg. Mr. TAMLYN gave judgment in two cases in th's parish, which had been postponed from Monday last. The first was that of Mr. P. Grenfell, and it appeared to him (Mr. Tamlyn) that he had not resided for six month 3 previous to the 31st of July, and therefore the objection must be al lowed. The other was that of Mr. James Hodgson, to whose claim an objection had been taken by Mr. Trott. It _ _ was not satisfactorily proved.to him (Mr. Tamlyn) that the notice required by the Act had been given, and therefore the claim of Mr, Hodgson must be disallowed. WV, PEPPLetiIIV, The claim of John Bull, of No, 17, Newcastle-street was opposed by the Cpnservative party.—Objection disal lowed. John Bowles, of No. 11, Newcastle-street, was also ob jected to by the same party. The claimant resides in Gough-square, and his wife occu pies a portion of the premises in Newcastle-street, and another portion is let as lodgings. The portion occupied by Mr. Bowles is worth more than 101. per annum.--Ob jection disallowed. 'The names of Joseph Buck, Charles Bull, William Meek, Alexander M'Bride, and John Mcdbury, were also objected to by the same party. In every case the claimant proved his residence, value of premises, payment of rates and taxes, and the objections were disallowed. Mr. TAMLYN gave judgment in the case of Charles Botton, which had been postponed from yesterday. The objection taken to Mr. Goodeve was to the proof of resi dence. A witness had proved that the claimant had re sided on the premises for some years, but had never seen him actually in bed. In his (Mr. Tamlyn's) opinion, the proof of residence was sufficient, and the objection must be disallowed. Samuel Bateman—Objected to by the Conservative party. A witness proved that the house was rated at 81. per annum, but it was worth 12/. or 16/. Mr. Goodeve contended that the proof of value according to the rating was under the sum required by the act.— Objection disallowed. Mr. CRAIG resumed at half-past 9 o'clock, and proceeded to give judgment in several cases which stood over. The Rev. John Antrobus, Rector of St. Andrew Un dershaft, claimed to have his name inserted on the list of voters in respect to the rectory house, part of which he occupied. The evidence showed that there was an en trance to that part of the factory house occupied by the claimant from the church-yard, of which he kept the key. There was another door leading into Leadenhall-street for the use of the other inhabitants, but it was also occasion ally used by the claimant. The question in the case was, did the separate hblding of that part of the premises en tered from the church-yard, constitute a sufficient hold ing for the purpose of entitling the claimant to have his name put on the Registry. After citing the pauper case of the King v. North Col lingham, Ist Barnewell and Cresswell, and several other cases bearing on the point, the Learned Gentleman said he was of opinion the claim had been made out ; the name was accordingly added to the list. Mr. J. S. Lilley claimed in respect of a house, situated No. 63, St. Mary Axe. The evidence in the case showed that, early in the year, the claimant had occupied a shop and premises in Leadenhall-street, but afterwards moved into the premises, out of which he claimed—both premises were in the same parish, and therefore the occupation was con tinuous. The objection was, that the claim of Mr. Lilley did not describe itself as for a continuous occupation, or make any mention of the premises occupied by him in the early part of the year, as required by the Act. Mr. CRAIG said there was nothinc , in the form of the notice of claim as set forth in the Act, or in the form of the list of claims to be made out from those notices, that would induce any person to suppose that any such descrip tion was necessary, and for that reason he should allow the claim. The name was accordingly inserted in the registry. Mr. Elias Aime Linds had sent in a claim to the over seer in these words, " as being a householder in your pa rish," without statiog his residence or the premises out of which he claimed. The form In the Act was, "My qua lification consists of a house in street, in your parish." Mr. CRAIG thought this notice insufficient. The claim was therefore disallowed, Mr. Rowcroft inquired whether this decision would establish a precedent. He called the attention of the court to the 79th section of the act which states, " That no misnomer or inaccurate description of any person or place named or described in any schedule to this act an nexed, or in any list or register of voters, or in any notice required by this act, shall in anywise prevent or abridge the operation of this act with respect to such person or place, provided that such person or place shall be desig nated in such schedule,' list, register:, or notice, so as to be commonly understood." Mr. CRAIG said he had read that clause of the Act, but in the case just decided there was no inaccurate description, but an entire omission, and it could not be said that such a notice would be " commonly understood." Mr. Rowcroft had not the slightest intention of com plaining of the decision of the Court. He was perfectly, aware the point was one of great nicety. A shade more evidence would have warranted a different decision. Mr. CRAIG could not decide otherwise than he bad done, arm 0 . as he was with such limited powers ; and most pro bably the decision would be of ultimate advantage, as it would induce parties in future to pay more attention to the forms of the Act when they sent in their claims.—Claim disallowed. The claim of Mr. Joseph Simpson, in which the same objection applied, was also disallowed. The case of John Stephenson, which was of the same na ture as that of Mr. Lilley's, was decided in the same way. Name inserted. Mr. Thomas Anti - -y Watts had claimed as a " house holder in the parisu" merely, and the claim was held de fective. There was the case of Mr. Herbert Marly. He occu pied four rooms of a house in London-Wall, his landlord occupying the other part of the house. There were three doors upon one landing, and there was a wicket gate 21 feet high in front of them. He kept a servant there, who opened the door when be rung the bell. The landlord g'e• nerally used a side-door, but he had the same right to the front door as the claimant. The question was, whether these rooms were to be called, or could be called, a house. Mr. CRAIG was of opinion that there was no ground for calling this a house—that was destroyed by the fact of there being nothing to prevent the landlord from using the front door as well as Mr. Manly. He did not think the wicket. gate made any difference, for it was in proof that there was no lock upon it, and any man might put over hill arm and open it; —Claim disallowed. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE EDGEWARE-ROAD kURDER.--.THE UNFORTUNATE STANYNOUGHT. This being the day appointed for the trial of the unfor tunate Stanynought, the Court was crowed at an early hour.

The prisoner had 'mounded himself severely, but not mor tally. The liter which was a dd ressed to this witness by the prisoner was read ; it requested him to break his fate to his wife quietly, and ascribing all that he had done to the state of his head. Witness had another conversation with the prisoner, in which he spoke most irrationally. Witness had not the slightest doubt at this time that the prisoner was in an unsound state of mind. Mr. Finch recalled—The prisoner was in good circum stances. The prisoner's letters to his wife were also read, in which 'he begged her not to mourn over his death s son, as it was the will of the Almighty, and that they werend that of his son, as it was the will of the Almighty, and that they were unfit to li ve , Mr, M'Murdo, the surgeon of Newgate, had no doubt of the insanity of the prisoner. During the time he had been in Newgate he appeared in a placid and tranquil state, and seemed to feel no remorse for what he had done, which he considered an indication of insanity. Mr. Baron GURNEY here addressed the jury. In the present case that a young and innocent child had been murdered by his own father there could be no doubt ; and the only question for the jury was, whether at the time the act was committed the prisoner was in a state of mind capable of accounting for . his own actions. The jury had it in evidence that the child was between nine and ten years of age, an affectionate and well-disposed child, the prisoner was also an affectionate father, doating and fond of his child. Such being the case, what could account for the dreadful act that had been committed? Why, the jury had heard from the evidence of both the medical men that they had no doubt whatever that at the time the prisoner committed the act he was of unsound mind. In the opinion of the Learned Judge, and his Learned Brother, more decisive evidence of insanity had never been brought forward in a court of justice. If, there fore, the Jury agreed with him, they would have to find the prisoner " Not Guilty," but if they wished the case to pro ceed further, he would go on with it. The Jury consulted for a few moments, and then re turned a verdict of " Acquittal," on the ground of insanity at the time. Mr. Baron GURNEY said, that a representation of the case would be made to the Secretary of State, in order that, for the sake of society, he should be taken care of The prisoner, who sat during the trial and appeared to tally unmoved, was then removed from the bar. NEW COURT. CONCLUSION OF THE CONSPIRACY CASE. This trial, which has been unprecedented in this Court for duration, was brought to a conclusion this morning. The Common Serjeant commenced summing up at half past ten, when the jury retired to consider of their verdict ; and after an absence of two hours returned with a verdict of Guilty against all the defendants. The COMMON-SERJEAN T then left the Court to consult the Judges as to the modicum of punishment. At one o'clock the COMMON-SERJEANT took his seat again on the bench, and passed the judgment of the Court on the defendants :—That John Bolton and Richard do pay a fine of 1001. each to the King ; that Robert Bird, Thomas Bird, John Cowderoy, James Hill, Josiah Parkes, and Joseph Johnson, do pay a fine of 50L ; that Richard Carpenter, John Newell, Samuel Pearce, and Philip Sellick, do pay a fine of 30/. ; Thomas Corbett, Edward Sylvester, 201. ; and George Dodd, William Gulliver, John Gough, Th omas T revett, John Sylvester, and John Smith, 51. ; and that each of the defendants be imprisoned -in Newgate until those fines be paid. Mr. Bolton instantly tendered a chock on his banker for the ivhole amount. SHIPPING.--(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, SEPT. 24.—Wind W. N.

LITERATURE. BRITISH CONSTITUTION. Orr and Smith, London. 1835. Alien is much of sound, practical utility iii this little unassuming treatise, which is not encumbered with verbiage, or defaced, as is too often the case with such dissertations, , with showy paradox and specious theory. The authors style themselves " Members of Gray's Inn," but there needed not this express avowal of their vocation to prove that they have professionally studied, and made themselves masters of the peculia rities of the British Constitution. The mind of a diligent and comprehensive lawyer betrays itself in every page of the Essay. VAGARIES IN VERSE. Hunt, Bath. 1835. A very silly work, wherein the ambition to write witty poems is more apparent than the capacity. The author, we perceive, takes as a motto for his work, the well-known Shakesperian sentence, " trifles light as air," a question which to a certain extent is strictly applicable, for his poems are really "trifles;" but then instead of being " light as air," they are " heavy as lead." We cannot possibly imagine what could have induced him to perpetrate so trumpery a production ! BOSWELL'S LIFE OF JOHNSON. Vor,s. 6-7. Murray. London : 1635. Of all the various re-publications of the day, we know of none more attractive than this. Though professing to be merely the biography of Dr. Johnson, it is, in reality, the domestic history of the literature of the eighteenth century, of which " surly Sam" was the great boast and main-stay ; and is so fertile in anecdote, so graphic in its style, so happy in its de lineations of men and things, as to constitute almost the only book in the language of which it may justly be said, decies repetita placebit. Unlike the generality of biographies, it shows us its hero, not attired in his full-dreSs suit, but in his dressing-gown and slippers : we are admitted even into the privacy of his bed-cham ber ; and are made partakers of his most confidential and familiar moments. Nor is the narrator less a sub ject for curious and interesting speculation than the subject of his narrative. Two such originals in their way, as Boswell and Johnson, the world never saw before, and may possibly never see again. Honour then—eternal honour to Bozzy for the treat he has afforded us by his incomparable biography ! We can not hear him spoken slightingly of with patience, so grateful are we for the disinterestedness which has in duced him to " write himself down an ass" for the benefit of posterity. Some one has sneeringly observed that he has not, in his own person, said a single goe,ij thing throughout his whole Life of Johnson. ?;; ow we must beg leave to enter our protest against, this, for, in the seventh volume, we find him (on the sub ject of death) thus expressing himself to Dr. Johnson : —" True, Sir, we may carry our books in ottr heads ; but still there is something painful in the thought of leaving for ever what has given us pleasure. I remember many years ago, when my imagination was warm, and I happened to be in a melancholy mood, it distressed me to think of going into a state of being in which Shakspeare's poetry did not exist." In a note at the bottom of the page, Mr. Croker sneers at this remark as a conceit, but we can assure him that there is far more warmth of fancy and feeling in it than in any production we have ever seen of his, whether in prose or verse. It has the merit of being something better than common-place, which is more than can be said for his " Talavera," which is verse only by virtue of its rhymes, or for his criticisms in the " Quarterly," which are effective only from their ill -nature, lt , i s curious to observe how in every page of his ;,-.lquant biography, Boswell is constantly ridiculing; in Gold smith the simplicity which forms so int'gr e a portion of his own character. NevertheleF:.;despite his jibes jibes made poor Goldy's bonhonzmie and, unworldliness, he has made him, with his P eac ti-blossom coat, and his ludicrous ebullitions of envy and 1 jealo us y — two pas sions which never 'assumed Iln amiable form, till they met in his 1)M - son—tip:, most loveable and delightful ch 'racter, in a beak teeming with all possible varieties of literary nature. There is nothing even in his own Vicar of Wakefield," richer in its way, than his affected indifference when Johnson was repeating to an attentive audience the circumstances of his celebrated . interview with George the Third. The Doctor who knew him well, esteemed him highly and loved him more, chiefly however from that want of discretion, knowledge, and presence of mind which left him so cOmlctely at his mercy in all wit -encounters. We can always afford to love those, from whom we have nothing to apprehend in the way of rivalry. It is our equals and superiors that are apt to call forth our scorn and detestation. The present edition of Boswell, from its elegence, its completeness, and its reasonableness in point of price, is an honour to the literature of the country.

At one o'clock the last tender was received, and their Lordships sat in close deliberation until half-past two, when Mr. White, who was said to be con nected with the firm of Robarts and Co., was called in and declared the contractor for the whole. The secresy ob served in such cases, and the extreme caution which was previously adopted by the present Lords of the Admiralty, prevented us from obtaining officially the prices at which this large contract has been taken : but from what we could learn the beef went off at Si. 13s. and -the pork at 4/. 12s. 6d. per tierce, a considerable reduction on the prices of last year. The quantity contracted for last -- was 6,500 tierces of beef, and 8,500 of port- ,ear crease on the present occas i on i c --sand the in duced state of the s.^-' • attributable to the re mew-- in the different victualling depart .siroughout the kingdom. The bidding for this con tract is considered to regulate the prices of live stock, ge nerally, throughout Ireland, so that if it was so difficult for the parsons to extract any great amount for tithe when the prices were what might be considered remunerating last year, what will be their situation during the current year ? And yet the Lords threw out the Bill that would have secured to them an adequate remuneration for their spiritual labours, , 4. COURT CIRCUL4R.
