(TO BE CONTINUED ~'~- .. - MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-It is with deep regret that we record the particulars of a lamentable occurrence, which took place on Wednesday last, at Morley Park, in the liberties of Belper, Derbyshire. Mr. Frederick Carey, third son of Mr. G. Carey, hatter and lace manufacturer, Clumber-street, in this town, left home about seven o'clock in the morning, and with two young friends proceeded in a gig for a day's shooting at Morley Park. At one o'clock they were in a field about a mile from the village of Heage, but could not find any game, when Mr. F. Carey got upon a bank, intending to shoot at a bird. As he was descend ing the bank again, he unfortunately took hold of the gun about the middle of the barrel, and turned the muzzle towards his person. By some means the thorns in the hedge caught the trigger (the piece being upon full cock), and suddenly caused it to go off, and the contents were lodged in his bowels. Assistance was almost immediately obtained, and four surgeons attended him. The wound was fatal, and he died in about an hour and a half after. The melancholy intelligence reached Nottingham soon after two o'clock, when Mr. and Mrs. Carey set out, in the greatest distress, to Heage. A Coroner's inquest was held yester day (Thursday), when the Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." The deceased was in his 2'2d year, and was not only highly esteemed, but was much beloved by his family and friends.—Nottingham Journal. ~~~ ~~ .x#l Z i fle ~~ --~ LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1835 The Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA arrived at Ramsgate at twelve o'clock yesterday, and were followed by the King and Queen of the BEI, GIANS, who arrived there at five o'clock. Their Ma jesties had a rough passage, but looked in excellent health and spirits. At a Protestant Meeting which was held on Tues day last at Paisley, those twin-bigots, Captain GOR DON and the Rev. MORTIMER O'SULLIVAN—We wonder, by-the-bye, what has induced this last gentle man to adopt an alias, his real name being MURTOCH OriVl ULLAGHAN—again indulged in the most ribald abuse of Catholicism. Captain GORDON, in parti cular, carried away by the fury of his indignation, actually talked of Popery as being " the Devil's master piece," and then wandered into a long and rambling dissertation on the Council of Trent and the Nicene Creed, which, we will venture to say, not one out of the two dozen who composed his au dience, either understood or cared about. Doubt less the gallant Missionary thinks his phrase " the Devil's master-piece," a most felicitous hit, as applied to the Catholics ; but if he will look at home, instead of abroad, he may possibly find some one to whom it will apply with far more appositeness. Not the quiet, enduring Catholic, but the meddlesome, mischief-mak ing Protestant, is the " Devil's master-piece ;" he who, in direct contradiction to the first principles of Christianity, endeavours to stir up strife, promote in tolerance, and keep those apart and aliens, whom the common sympathies of humanity should bind in closest affinity to each other. When we compare the conduct of such notorious Protestant agitators as Messrs. GORDON and O'SULLIVAN, with that of the vast ma jority of the Catholics, who, when reviled, as they have daily been for the last six months, have reviled not again, the latter rise in our estimation—as they must do in that of every dispassionate man who has two ideas in his head—just in the same propor tion that the former sink in it. There is nothing so sure to defeat its own end as bigotry, as the Exeter Hall fanatics found to their cost last Spring, in Lon don, and as the rump of their squad must ere this have found in Scotland. Not the slightest effect have the ravings of Captain GORDON or the preachings of O'SULLIVAN yet produced in that country—a truth w hi c h none know better than themselves, and which ought therefore to induce them to husband their lungs, till some more favourable opportunity of making an Tession presents itself. Lord MULGRAVE, we understand, is winning ,c g olden opinions " from all classes of Irishmen. Even the Orangemen, who were at first so adverse to his appointment, are now beginning to find out that re. SDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1835. PI ICE OF STOCKS THIS Bank 5t , ...k — 3 per Cc:.

My ancestors bequeathed to me an honourable name. This I must transmit untarnished to my children. Calumny dies with a man of obsure condition, but it survives the public man, and stations itself audaciously upon his tomb, should a timid silence on the part of his contemporaries suffer it to erect itself there without opposition. Charles IV. is dead. Ferdinand has also descended to the tomb. They both belong to history. I am, therefore, permitted to speak out, and to soothe my troubled heart."—Memoirs, Chap. I.

SEPT. 4, 1835. lI EINE BROTHERS, CONTRACTORS of the STATE of HAMBURG'S GREAT LOTTE RIES, beg to decline any further orders for the 66th Lottery, the largest Prize being already drawn. Tickets for the 67th Lottery will again begin selling at £8 ; say Eight Pounds after the termi nation of the Drawing of the 66th Lottery. The largest Prizes of the 66th Lottery came up to the following Ticketst— 13ancomarcs, No. 8,673 a whole Ticket, with the motto " Heine Brothers, remit to Liverpool" 4,555 a whole Ticket, with the motto " Lots of Luck to Edinburgh" A printed authentic List of all the Numbers and Prizes, will ap• pear when the Drawing is over. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at Five minutes to Three o'Clock. imp ".. he 13,by no means the prejudiced, one-sided partisan that they had imagined him to be; but that his Govern ment is conducted with firmness, discretion, and a marked absence of all political prejudices. Hence, even in Derry, for so many years the head-quarters of inveterate Orangeism, his Lordship has been received with the most flattering marks of res pect ; and an address has been presented to him, which has received the signatures of many Orange men, expressive of high satisfaction at his conduct as a Viceroy, and stating a fervent hope that his " exer tions may be rewarded by the cessation of those jea lousies and divisions, which have continued to keep Ireland so far behind the other parts of the Empire." To this, considering the place where it was drawn up, significant and auspicious Address, the Noble Earl replied, "it has given me sincere pleasure to hear those fraternal sentiments which were first conveyed to me at the seat of Government, which have been since repeated to me in the extreme south and the far west, now cheerfully re-echoed in the north." H Lord MuLGRAVE only has the courage to continue as he has commenced, we have little doubt that he will become the most popular Lord Lieutenant that Ireland has known since the days of Earl FITZWIL LIAM. He has every requisite to ensure popularity among the natives of the sister-isle, and, combining skill with address and various useful knowledge, with a highly social and enlightened nature. The whole of the Paris Papers of Monday have been received. The i%foniteur contains the following important intelligence from Spain : " A despatch of the 25th inst. from Narbonne an nounces that on the 22d, at the news of the nomination of MINA as Captain-General of Catalonia, Barcelona was illuminated, and RIEGO'S hymn was sung at the theatre. Fresh disturbances were apprehended. They write from Valencia, under date of the 19th, that in consequence of a riot, the Count D'ALMODOVAR was forced to embark; 1,500 peasants, partly armed, entered that city on the 18th. A pillage was feared." It is no fault of ours if our readers fail to discover the connection between public 'rejoicing in Barcelona and the apprehension of fresh disturbances. An event worthy of being celebrated by illuminations and the singing of national anthems would be presumed, by persons less remarkable for their prescience than the correspondents of French Ministerial Journals, to augur peace rather than war—union rather than discord— social harmony, rather than party collision and personal violence. The veil of impenetrable mystery which hangs over Barcelona overshadows Valencia. The riot which drove the Count d'ALmoDovAR to seek shelter on board a vessel is merely mentioned, without even a passing allusion to its causes or consequences, beyond the precipitate expulsion of the flying Count. How one thousand five hundred peasants—the adherents of no party—could possess themselves of arms, or think of directing their march into Valencia, is still a greater mystery. We are informed, on the authority of the Moniteur's correspondent, that these armed peasants entered Valencia on the 18th, and that on the 19th— the date of the letter—a pillage was feared. What reason had the inhabitants of the town for such an apprehension ? If the object of the peasants was pillage, it is not likely that they would have remained a night in the town, without attempting the execution of their designs upon the property of the citizens. Such a handful of marauders could only hope to succeed by taking the inhabitants of the town by surprise. Besides Valencia is strongly garrisoned by command of the Junta, so that five times as many robbers could not quit the city alive did they attempt to invade the property, or to disturb the peace of the citizens. " Why then," it may be enquired, " are such indefinite announcements made in the Moniteur ?" We will answer this question. The King of the FRENCH sees in the patriotic proceedings of the Spanish Juntas the inevitable downfall of the despotic system which he is now establishing in republican France ; and hence every engine under the controul of the Government is directed against them with a view to bring them into contempt. The most effectual way to do this is, if possible, to have it believed that they are factious mobs congregated together for the plunder of the more peaceable inhabitants of the country. The Juntas are taking bold measures, some of which are certainly premature in the present con dition of Spain. For example the Junta of Cadiz, in a sitting on the 9th inst., voted Count TORENO guilty of high treason. This was outstepping the authority of such a tribunal, as the Constitutional Cortes are alone competent to pronounce the impeach ment of a Minister of the Crown. Besides, the crime of high treason against the people pre-supposes the existence of a Constitutional charter ratified by the Government, received by the people, and forming the only legitimate basis of all legislative enactments. Now the only document answering to this description in Spain, during the government of TOREN°, was the Royal Ordinance published by the QUEEN RE GENT at the opening of the last session of the Cortes. This document was only intended as an outline of the new Constitution, and as far as we can judge, was never violated in a single article by TORENO or his col leagues. If the Cadiz Junta presumed to pronounce Count TOREN° guilty of high treason, by virtue of any article or articles of the Constitution of 1812, then we say that such a proceeding was as ridiculous as it was unjust, inasmuch as Count To RENO, as President of the Council, did not acknowledge the legal existence of such a guarantee for public liberty. There are two requisites to the constitutional declaration of Ministerial high treason—first, a Constitution, on certain defined prin ciples of government which Ministers have sworn to observe inviolate ; second, 'a competent tribunal to pronounce judgment upon them. It is a foolish as sumption of an illegal power on the part of the Juntas, to take notice of the personal acts of any member of the late Government of Spain. When legislative bo dies assume the exercise of judicial functions, moderate men are inclined to suspect their prudence or their patriotism. The Junta of Arragon has published a Manifesto, in reply to the Ministerial Manifesto published in the Madrid Gazette of the 16th instant. The following passage from it is quoted by the Journal des Debats, as a proof of the confusion of ideas which prevails among the Spanish Federalists : " The legitimate throne of our beloved Queen, ISABEL 11., shall be saved by her faiteful subjects, composing the majority of the nation, from the abyss in which it was intended to precipitate it. The im prescriptible rights of the people shall be established on an indestructible basis, by a wise combination of legal liberty with the essential prerogatives of the Crown ; but opinions are divided respecting the mode by which that desired end is to be attained ; some wish the Cortes to be convoked, agreeably to the elec toral system of the Constitution of 1812 ; but that system offers great difficulties, as the partisans of the Pretender might avail themselves of it to return a fac tious majority, which would compel us to have re course to a second insurrection. Others insist on the necessity of proclaiming at once the Constitution ; but the danger would be the same, since a new election is indispensable. " According to the same system, a third party pro poses to restore the state of things existing in 1823. They require that the Deputies returned at that period shall resume their legislative functions, and that the '`~- provincial electors shall specially empower them to effect the called-for political reforms. The Junta w ill examine that point with the attention it deserves, and communicate its observations to the other Juntas, in order that they may all agree on a general programme, calculated to secure the rege neration of the cou.ntrY• " ISABEL 11. is the Constitutional Queen of S.pair'' Her name is identified with liberty, and on that ba.sis we shall found a code of laws worthy of the nation." Now, with all due respect for the opinions of the Journal des Debats, we cannot for the life of us pet ceive any confusion of ideas in the above Manifesto, The end proposed is one and the same—the means of accomplishing it is only canvassed in a spirit of un common fairness and liberality. The Junta declares that the nation has one end in view, and that as the people have different opinions about the means of ac complishing it, the Junta will take the subject into its serious consideration. The following account of the conduct of the Junta of Granada, since its installation on the 31st of Au gust until the 6th inst., is from the Constitutionnel of Monday : Ma " 1. The Junta opened a corres p ondence with that of laga, and those of the othe r p rovinces, claiming their part pation in consolidating the Constitutional Throne. "2. It reformed many public functionaries. "3. It ordered the Royal Court to sit permanently., le order toterminate, without delay, all pending suits and trials, and cause its sentences to be executed. "4. It reduced by one-fourth the duties on articles enter ing the city. "5. It formed an Ecclesiastical Junta of five member s ' which proposed the dismissal of all the clergymen of the pro vince unworthy of public confidence. " 6. It decided that the said Junta should administer the ec clesiastical revenues. "7. It ordered all the convents to be closed. " 8. It placed at its own disposal all public moneys. "9. It ordered the enro lment into the National Militia of all young men disposed to take arms for the Constitutional cause. " 10. It suppressed the police. " 11. It caused all the funds belonging to the Tithe Junta to be registered, and directed t hat no payment should be made without an express order from that Junta. " 12. It decreed that all the arrears of the taxes be forth.' with paid. " e' 13. It ordered that the Comm anders of the .Royalist V lunteers should give up the arms that still remained in their pos . session. v " 14. It obliged General Camp ana and Don Jose Maria t° account for the funds they had administer ed ; that Generalist/ besides arrested, and will, in all probability, be brought tO tr i '' for the numerous victims of the Liberal party he immolated ig6 Cadiz. " 15. It compelled Count Ximera and Don Manuel Rom er° Saavedra to furnish returns of the sums exacted by them, fro .° the National Militia, for their armament. " 16. It caused an inventory of all the property belongisg to the monasteries and the province to be made out. " 17. It also decreed that a ret urn of all the arms in the prl yince be drawn up, and made an a pp eal to all the citizens ° Granada to enrol themselves in the National Militia." The following are extracts from the Evening Pape ° • of Monday, just received :---- (I PARIC, SEPT. 28.—We learn from' Vienna, that M. ~: Montbel and M. de Bourrnont inte nded to g o to Toplitz, w" that the Emperor of Austria opposed it.
