'HE O'CONNELL TRIBUTE.—The parochial con 'nbuticms, added to those had from individuals, will realize Fo r Dahlia alone the sum of 2,000/. This exhibits a great increase on the produce for 1834, when this city gave but I ' l 3o/. to the fund, and the aumentation will be sustained t° the full in the parishes throughout the country, all of t l h ieh are prepared to come forward with more liberality an jo the preceding years.—Freeman's Journal. t T HE TURF—THE DISPUTED RACE.—The arbi- Pion of th e di spute d race b etween L or d Milt ow n and Mr. 'Ward Ruthven, M.P., was resumed on Saturday last, I):ltsuant to adjournment, at the Club-house, Kildare. There as a large concourse of members of the Club, and sporting and ,°ther gentlemen in attendance. t l it attings B urge ss Roll has made its appearance ; s numbers fall short of the list of Parliamentary voters.

The agricultnral gentlemen of Worcestershire have i °ermin e d to petition the King to save them from impend :ruin. To make the work complete, they should also Q4est his Majesty to restore those to prosperity who have already reduced to want. REDUCTION OF RENTS AND TITHES.—At Lord r il and's audit, lately held at Winterbourne Basset, the ii ?4'al sum of 20 per cent. was allowed by his Lordship to 1 1 4r,nerous tenantry on their rentals. The Rev. Stephen tei lams t of Penhow, Monmouth, and Rector of Llanfiha.n ith tVgiett, bas made a deduction of 20 per cent. in the t i o "of his parish. Earl Grey on his rent-day returned Per cent. to hi s corn tenan t s . At th e tith e - au dit o f the loli e ea t of ' Asap h, Asa h, at Cradley, the tithe-payers, without Cation, received a deduction of 10 per cent. At his 74 -audit the Rev. H. Lee Warner, of Tiberton Court, Na l'eford s hi re , re t urne d hi s tenants 10 per cent. on their g. „ following remarkable circumstance is said to e been elicited during the examinations relative to the attempt of July 28 :=--On the 27th, Fieschi and his asso- L ' l44 .es had a species of rehearsal of the act that was to be 14r% - rifled on the following day. Pepin, having mounted l h horse, passed' along the Boulevard in front of the amber, and thus represented the position of the King, w ii , Fieschi levelled at him his infernal machine. T he Dublin Reporter estimates the total Roman ecclesiastical revenue in Ireland at less than mi °,ooo/. per annum. of A. few days ago; on the occasion of the anniversary the marriage of the Marquis and Marchioness of Aber o who were giving a grand ball at Kinrara Cottage, in w:erness-shire, a singular accident took place, fortunately lg iont loss of life. The Marquis's carriage had been sent 6?ut four miles to the ford of the Spey, at Invereshie, to l i ;irg Mr. and Mrs. Ellice to the evening's entertainment. Wile the carriage was waiting, the day being very stormy, Postboy dismounted to replace one of the cushions f. tell had bee n bl o wn from the box, when the horses took at the storm,. and started off at full speed, the pos ti:.4 in vain attempting to overtake them. Continuing tC l i* course, they *reached the great Highland road, which "eY foll owe d f or - near ly 12 miles, when they turned off, aI, 4 4 4 te r m any windings and crossing a narrow bridge, t, 4 eled the ford at the Doune of Rothiernurchus, which, i s m the river being flooded, was declared impassable early th e . day. : Here the horses (being the property of her th e ford) the Duchess of Bedford, and well accustomed to ford) had the sagacity to take it at its proper place, and Y r aenlousl enough, gained the opposite side, notwith msta. th r mg the strength of the current, where they were found, D e_e hours after, a few yards below the usual landing of They had succeeded in passing the main ford (part woieh they must have swam with the carriage), and gull a gravel b an k, which intervened between it and a erller one, and in descending the side of this mound the i r ,riage had been upset, in which position it was found at y:"ed to th e -h orses , en t a n g l e d by a tree. The horses i t r e immediately released without injury, and the carriage e d i t to the tree for two days till the river subsided, when vas extri ca t e d w ith o ut being injured further than being ted I wo _ and a little scratched. The glasses were not even oo `en, and it is now, without repair, being used as histo r esbip's travelling carriage. What renders the whole k i ci re surprising is, - that the accident took place after dark, ti, e . 'lle horses were seen to strike fire with their heels in Ir heedless career along the road.—Scotsman. aLT Q /1, IRELAND.—A more extraordi- LIT list never befoie was made out. It is not only be 'fuse Oranemen and high Tories, bitter enemies of Re iii°4Orangemen and of the present Government, have, in twenty-nine I, s ,`Mees out of thirty-two, been placed at the head of the for each Irish county, that we reclaigi in behalf of the at io it „ against the judge-made catalogue ?” but we denounce J o 4 d ll ° ll the conservative principle, that_ the chosen of the T h ges dont represent property, and don't possess property. ~.e l' e is Leitrim.—The first on the list is Mr.. Westby s es ' ee val. This gentleman, we are assured, does not pos oo 3a foot of property in that county, and is not deemed sufficient consequence to be called, even by Orange I, l !ifis, upon the Grand Jury—although a Deputy Grand wi rer of th e O range I ns tit u ti o n. Surely this gentleman pa b e passed o ver by Lord Mulgrave. And who are the ho u t et-two gentlemen on the Leitrim list ? Mr. Percy does th e Possess an inch of estate in Leitrim, nor is he called on y.,grand p ane l ; an d th e thi r d, Captain Tennyson, is a fi nger son o f a ge ntleman of fortune in Roscommon, but se ,sses not a foot of land any where, and is at this moment ang his p a y w ith hi s reg iment in some quarter of the like. Are these persons qualified to be made High She of Leitrim ? and every word we have stated can all be I th : v ed, and will, we have reason to know, be submitted in eftcial form to the Lord Lieutenant in a few days. t i e e 'e was n o su it a bl e caus d for the selection of these gen tottlien; for 'in Leitrim there are gentlemen of large for lit,:'every way qualifiedlo be appointed High . Sheriffs -24 -441 8, it is true ; but surely that is no reason why they t kwl til d be put aside to make way for Orangemen of no for -4,1 ein their co u n try. So far for Leitrim. In Meath the eetion is equally condemnable.—Freeman's Journal. 1 4 1"ATRAORDINARY OCCURRENCE. — During the t o Z ?fro.ertnightthe family of Mr. Archbold, the Barrister , who at 4, Linden-grove, Kensington Gravel-pits; aye tt i °een kept in a state of great excitement and alarm by h a e following extraordinary occurrence :—Mr. Archbold e xt ti eg-erected a large conservatory at the lower part of the o e , 4l ve garden, converted a portion of it into a music fl°ll;", in wich the female part of the family were in the ; f 'Y habit of passing some hours. On the 31st ultimo the c :,ses Archbold, who were practising as usual, were ex tio''ingly alarmed by a loud crash, and the falling of a por nof the glass roof, which fortunately did them no injury. i next•day 'another large portion of the roof was dashed 4,; ti ‘,ltlen an inquiryseas instituted by Mr. Archbold ; but I' w ,"g likely to clear up the mystery could be discovered. , ° l daYs afterwards another portion of the roof was dashed ivh w A "en Inspector Feltham, of the T division was sent for , e xamined the 'premises, but was unable to discover in o at manner the glass had been broken. During the three to four subsequent days almost the whole of the glass roof 04 bwith a similar fate, on . which Mr. Archbold determined Iti e , i tv ing a slated roof put on, which was immediately coin 11141j'ed ; but even while the workmen were employed in il oed ie g the alteration, the mysterious glass-breaker gl ea n the t he Work of demolition, by breaking the whole of the at e - e n One of the sides, to the great consternation of the th e ll en th e roof, who all declared no person had approached ii4i e nservatory. On Tuesday last, the annoyance conti gtaillohe i nspec t or w as again sent for, who placed con ,e to watch the outside of the premises , while Mr. th e olds foot-boy watched from a balcony at the back of I)4, 4 "use overlooking the conservatory, While at their hearing aloud crash, they all ran to the spot, when they ' w ere astonished to find not only another of the sides of o eQ nservatory broken, but also the keys of a valuable s4 a e e , which w a s erected in the music-room, displaced , and Islas 1."e1 of them broken. Since then, not only has more fro ti . ; en brok en in the same mysterious manner, but the e,f the organ has been opened, and the whole of the fo On Monday Mr. Archbold attended be 31.110,,l_essrs. Codd and Barlow, sitting in petty sessions , to e-! he narrated the above extraordinary circumstances , R•h ot said th a t h e h a d ve r y s t rong suspicions' that a person, e name did not transpire, - could, if compelled, throw .1 40 e iglu I, l i upon the affair. The Bench said that they ‘e14.., 14 4 ; be happy to assist Mr. Archbold in his endeavour to ;:i i: i'';." ll e the mysterioni transaction, and issued a summons ,ge tt ir l ng the attendance of' the party mentioned by that enlu l on Thursday next. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1835, Robert Marmers was third son of Charles, fourth Duke of Rutland, and the beautiful Mary Isabella, daughter of the foUrth Duke of Beaufort. - -He was born Dec. 14,1781. Lord Robert Manners was a Major-General of the 3d Dra goons, and- M.P. tbr the Northern Division of Leicester shire. It is expected his Lordship's remains will be interred in the new-mausoleum at Belvoir, which will make the third burial since its erection in 1827. BERANGER THE POET,—Beranger is . now lividg in great seclus!on at Fontainebleau. Two maiden aunts reside with him, at. a small country house close to the forest. His habits and mode of life are described as simple and Unpretending; and he is said to mix very little in society. We understand that Captain Westenra, of the 6th. Dragoon Guards, when on a visit to Mr. Wallace; of Kelly, last week, went woodeoek-shooting% He flushed 11 wood- cocks, of which he killed three brace, but lost one bird from the extreme thickness of the cover. This is another indi cation of a hard winter, as woodcocks are seldom found on Mr. Wallace's estate in numbers until severe frost sets in and for one gun, the above is rather good sport even for Kelly.—Greenock Intelligencer. - _ . • • • LADY BLESSINGTON'S NEW WORK.—We are requested to state that the Second Edition of the Countess of Blessington's new work, ." The _Two Friends," is now ready, and may be had of the publishers, Messrs. Saunders and Otley, Conduit:street, and of the Booksellers in Town and Country. CITY, TUESDAY.—The general opinion which prevails here now is, that by the terms of the quadruple treaty with Spain, the present Administration consider themselves strictly bound to support the cause of the young Queen of Spain and liberalism ; and it is credibly under stood that an application has been made by the Spanish Charge d'Affaires of Spain to this Government for an ex tension of the number of cruizers on the north coast of that kingdom, and two frigates were demanded ; we are, bon-- ever, informed, that four vessels have been ordered to that station. The premium on gold at Paris is 13- 1 - per which at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange •of 25 48k, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 55, it follows that gold is 13-50 per cent. lower at Paris than in London. By the advices from Ilamburgh the price of, gold is 4821 per mark, which at the English Mint price of _ _ 31. 17s. lOid. the ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 13 8:1, and the exchange at Hamhurgh on Lon- don at short being 13 10, it follows that gold is 17-32 per cent. lower at Hamburgh than in London. About sixty of the principal Spanish residents and merchants in London dined together yesterday, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of celebrating the opening of the Spanish Cortes under the Administration of M. Mendizabal. The Ambassador was in the chair, and various patriotic toasts were given. Mr. Carbonnell pro posed "the British Public," and in doing so took occasion to mention that the subscription which has been set on foot for the purpose of forwarding military stores for the Spanish army had been contributed to most liberally, and that many English, both commercial men and residents at the :West: end, who had not been called upon to participate in it, had forwarded very considerable funds. We are authorised to state, that the following are the conditions to be observed by the candidates for the Lord blayor'•s Premium, announced some time since in this journal :--An honorary premium of ten guineas will be awarded in the year 1836, for the best Essay on the Life and Institutions of the English Legislator Offa, King of Mercia. The essay must be comprised within such limits that the public delivery of it will not exceed half an hour ; but it may be illustrated by notes and references to any extent. Each composition must be distinguished by a motto, and accompanied by a sealed paper, indorsed with the same motto, containing the author's name, and must be sent to Crosby Hall on or before September SO, 1836. The pre mium for the best Essay on the Life and Character of Sir Thomas Gresham, has been awarded to J. W. Burgon, Esq. MONEY MA RKET—TUESDAY.--The period fixed for the conversion of the Cortes Bonds having now ex pired, it becomes a matter of some importance to ascertain what the position of the Spanish Government is with regard to that debt, and what amount of the three descriptions of new stock, the Active, Deferred, and Passive, has been brought into circulation by the conversion. This it will be the duty of the Commissioners to make known as early as possible, but it is not in their power yet to afford any thing like 'Complete information on the subject. Conversions of Spanish Stack have, in the first place, been going on in Paris and Amsterdam simultmeously with that in London, from which places returns are to be made to the ,COmmis sioners here, which cannot be done for some days to come, and some difficulty and loss of time will" also occur in ascer taining what amount of Spanish Stock still remains out, and has not through various causes yet been brought in for conversion. Those who have not complied with.the condi tions by sending in their Stock before the 16th inst., will be subjected to the loss of all interest on the New Stock up to the ISt inst., but they will not, of course, be wholly ex cluded from the conversion. Small additions will probably therefore be made from time to time during the next 12 months, or longer, though the total amount remaining out may not be considerable, and the general opinion is, that such is the case. It is a remarkable fact, that not a single forgery of a Cortes' Bond has been discovered in conse quence of the conversion, though the impression at various periods was, that counterfeits to a considerable extent did exist. The worst feature of the whole transaction is the creatim of so much Deferred and Passive Stock, which must be injurious to the credit of Spain, by bringin g periodi cally s.) much New Stock into circulation, and the hope, in deed, the expectation is, of all concerned, that one of the earliest measures of Mendizabal's Ministry will be to devise some means for taking the whole of these descriptions of Stock oat of the Market. We feel pleasure in stating, that in consequence of the exposure of the shameful pilotage system at Newhaven, a reform is about to be adopted in it.—Brighton Guardian. WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES.—We understand that tome extensive English houses are making arrange ments to establish some branches of the woollen manufac ture in Perth. We can only wonder that something of this sort has not been set on foot long ago, as we are sure it could harJly fail of success. Perth, from its locality, can command a greater quantity of wools of every variety, grown in its immediate vicinity, than any town in Scotland. The eminent prosperity of a similar branch of trade, in less favourable circumstances, and at no greater distance than across the hills in Clackmannanshire, ought to be a sti mulant.—Perth Constitutional. _ COURT CIRCULAR. Baron de Moncorvo (the Portuguese Minister) tran sacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. Summonses were issued yesterday from the Home-office to the Cabinet Ministers to attend the Recorder's report to the King in Council. Lord Seaford; the Dean of Salisbury, Sir I'. Dich Lauder, 'Lieutenant-Colonel Bunbnry, and Captain Paget bad interviews yesterday with Lord Glenelg at the Colo nial-office. • Lord Holland entertained some of the Cabinet Minis ers at dinner on Monday evening at Holland-house, Ken- sington. I Lord John Russell and Lord Glenelg had interviews ye terday with Visbount Melbourne in Downing-street. BRIGIITON-TUESDAY. His ,Majesty, accompanied by Prince Ernest, took a carriage airing yesterday afternoon on the London-road. The Queen, accompanied by the Duchess of Glocester, Also took a carriage airing at 12 o'clock along the cliff. The. Landgravine of Hesse Homburg,. accompanied by the Baroness Stein, left the Palace yesterday morning at 12 o'clock for Bognor, where she intends staying a short time at the house of Alis.'Sthith, sister of the Countess of Mayo.' _ Prince George, who is perfectly recovered from his slight indisposition, rode out on horseback yesterday morning, and in the afternoon walked out in company with his pre ceptor, the Rev. Mr. Wood. Major-General Sir James Cockburn was yesterday ho noured by his Majesty with an audience. Lord Ashbrooke left the Pavalion yesterday for town. The Royal Dinner pzrty last night comprised Sir F. Lamb, Countess Cowper, Lord and Lady Ashley, Earl and Countess Jersey, General the Count and Countess of Star hornberg and Major-General Sir James Cockburn. Lieut. Sir William Houston, the Groom in Waiting, was the only addition to the Royal table on Sunday evening. There was no band in attendance that night. Major-General Sir A. Clifton, Sir Capel Brooke, Major- General Trevor, and the Hon. Captain Crofton, R.N., were amon ,, the calls yesterday. Lord and Lady Beresford arrived at the York Hotel yesterday evening. - The Master of ,the Ceremonic.s' Ball last night was at tended by nearly 200 persons of rank and fashion, including the Officers of the Coldstream and Dragoon Guards. The Duchess of Gloucester, attended by Miss Wilson, took a carriage airing this day at noon, as also did her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta. Prince -George rode out on horseback this morning, accompanied by Lord Falkland and Sir Andrew Barnard. _ His Majesty this morning honoured Sir George Shiffner and Sir G. Harrison with audiences. The expected meeti❑g of the Privy Council to-day did not take place. The Marchioness and Ladies Cornwallis, Sir Neil Douglas Colonel Rolt, and Baron D'Ompteda, have been invited to dine with their Majesties this evening, when the Queen's band will attend. may be offered to •the Senate during Dr. Lamb's year of office, and it is probable he would reject it ? Surely this is to carry party feeling to an unreasonable and unjustifiable, .if not a dangerous extent ; and is an un advised, if not wanton, exercise of power. We cannot but hope, however, that when the present political excitement shall have a little more subsided, the heads themselves will adopt a line of conduct more worthy of their position in the University, and take a sounder view of their " preli minary duty." FROM LAST EIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, Nov. 17, 1835. The King . , taking into His royal consideration that, upon the *ease of William late Viscount Courtenay and Earl of Devon, which happened in, the month of May last, the title and dig nity of Earl of Devon devolved upon William now Earl of Devon, as cousin and next heir male of the said William Viscount Courtenay and Earl of Devon, whereby, according to the ordinary rules of honour, the younger brother and sis ters of the said William now Earl of Devon cannot enjoy the same titles; rank, and precedence, which would have been due to them in case their late father, Henry-Reginald Lord Bishop of Exeter, had survived the said William Viscount Courtenay and Earl of Devon, and had succeeded to the said title and dignity of Earl of Devon ; his Majesty hath been graciously pleased to ordain and declare, that Elizabeth Courtenay, spinster, sometime one of the Maids of Honour to her late Majesty Queen Charlotte ; Catherine, wife of Edward Berens, Clerk ; Frances-Charlotte, wife of Edward Bouverie, Clerk; and Thomas-Peregrine Courtenay, Esq. , one of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, the only surviving younger children of the said late Henry- Reginald Lord Bishop of Exeter, deceased, by the Lady Elizabeth, his wife, eldest daughter of Thomas Earl of Effingham, and sister • and coheir of Thomas and Richard successively Earls of , Effingham, also deceased, shall henceforth have, hold, and enjoy the same titles, place, pre-eminence, and precedence as if their said late fa ther had survived the said William Viscount Courtenay and Earl of Devon, and had succeeded to the said title and dignity of Earl of Devon. And his Majesty hath been further pleased to command, that the said royal order and declaration be registered in his College of Arms. WHITEHALL, Nov. 14.

It is rumoured that one of the supposed causes of the fever which broke out at Wentworth House with such fatal effect, soon after the Princess Victoria's visit, was the covering over an interior reservoir, which, from containing a number of lichens and much vegetable accumulation, gave off a deleterious gas, which soon developed itself in typhus fever.

DEATH OF . LORD ROBERT . MANNERS.—It is with feelings of deep regret we have to announce the death of Lord Robert Manners, at Belvoir Castle, about half past five o'clock r•m., on Sunday, 15th inst. Lord Robert's death is a blow that comes -unmitigated by the warning of previous illness. He was in the field with Lord Forester's hounds on Thursday, and pursued a hard day's shooting 011 Friday, apparently in his usual health. - On Saturday morning, when his servant entered his bed-room, be found his Lordship labouring under evident and alarming indispo sition. No time was lost in summoning the family surgeon, Dr. Mather, from Grantham, and also Dr. Bland. These gentlemen, from the very first, pronounced the ease a hope less one ; a prediction which the result too fatally realised. The Ladies Elizabeth Norman and Adeliza Manners at tended the death-bed of tl.eir noble and m uch-regretted relative. Expresses had been sent to the Duke of Rutland in London, and to Lord Char:es Manners, near Newmar ket ; but these summonses came too late for their arrival at Belvoir ere the occurrence of their brother's death.

We learn from Termonde that it is in contemplation to establish speedily a boarding-school for young ladies, to be conducted by Nuns of the Order of St: Benedict. The ancient convent of the Capuchins has been purchased for the Benedictines of Afflegham for 30,000 francs. The buildings will be entirely demolished except the church, and a new very spacious edifice will receive all the monks belonging to that - abbey. The restoration of the abbey is with the entire approbation of his Holiness Gre gory XVI., who himself belongs to the order of St. Bene dict. This is the third abbey of the Benedictines which has been rest orNl within a few years ; the two others are that of Piaalia in Bavaria, and that of Solesnes in France. The Chan b3r of Representatives discussed the remain ing articles of the project of law relative to the Post-office. They concern the establishment of offices in country towns ; and the sixteenth and last article fixes the Ist of January, 1836, for the time when the law is to be in force. There having been some amendments, the final vote was deferred till Monday.—ll de la Belgique, Nov. 16. BERLIN, Nov. 7.—Great attention has been excited here by the ungracious answer which the Emperor of Russia is said to have given to a Warsaw deputation, at his late visit to that city. He is reported to have assured them that he gave no credit to any professions of fidelity ; and that the citadel of Warsaw was built to destroy the city, on the first appearance of rebellion. FRONTIERS- OF POLAND, Nov. 4.—A letter from War saw says that the Emperor of Russia, during his visit to that city, had received deputations from all the authorities, the citizens and the guilds, and that he behaved to them with great condescension, except to the deputation of the Municipality. The Emperor, it is said, did indeed receive the latter deputation, but forbid it from making the usual address to him, as he should be sorry to hear sentiments expressed which the Municipality of Warsaw did not en tertain towards him. His Majesty is said to have added, that it was, in fact, the Municipality that encouraged the unhappy insurrection which had brought such misery on the country ; and yet, only one year before, the Municipality had spoken to him (the Eiriperth) of their devotedness and attachment, and cherished no more ardent wish than that of long enjoying peace and prosperity under the shadow of his Government ; that he (the Emperor) had, indeed, done _everything that he thought calculated to promote the hap piness and prosperity of Poland ; he had governed with mild ness and conscientiousness, but had met with ingratitude in re turn ; and he therefore believed that he did the municipality a real service if he spared it the necessity of uttering words which were a vain spew, but not their real sentirlients, which the deputation would take good care not to express. Ne vertheless' the Emperor assured them that he would wil lingly forget what was past, as soon as he should be con vinced that they were sincere with him ; in this he would most readily hear the deputation, and be glad to see it, as well as all the other deputations. When the Monarch hereupon dismissed the deputation, he is said to have en joined them to take well to heart what had been said, be cause he had spoken without reserve ; that the troops in the citadel were instructed by his order, upon any move ment of a revolutionary tendency, to reduce the city to ashes ; a misfortune, which in that case, 'Warsaw would have to blame itself for. VIEN NA, Nov. 6.—Marshall Bourmont has returned to this city from Bohemia. The report that Count Aleudia, agent to Don Carlos, was gone to Italy, is unfounded : the Count is still here. VIENNA, Nov. 7.—Five per cent Metalliques, 1018 ; Four per cent., 100 ; Bank Shares, I,3B2.—Allgerneine Zeitang, - Nov. 12. PARIS. COURT OF PEERS.-MONDAY. The Court was to have met at eleven, but the prisoners were not brought up until two o'clock. The Hall had un dergone a complete transformation since the last Session, and been reduced to about one-half its priscentive size. Several tribunes have been altogether suppressed, and amongst others those of the National and Municipal Guards, and that reserved to the public, into which admission was procured without tickets. About ten places had also been cut off from the gallery of the journalists. The accused were brought in, escorted, as formerly, by Municipal Guards, whom they followed without any re sistance. The prisoners, from their appearance and dress, seem all to belong to a respectable class of society. The young sub-officers of the category of Luneville, who entered last, were greeted on their arrival by their comrades, whom they had not seen since the month of May last, having been confined separately in the military prison of the Abbey. They were dreSsed in civilians' clothes, and were only dis tinguished from the others by the small cockade they wore in their hats. The primers took their seats in the greatest order, and remained silently waiting for the Court, which entered the Hall at half-past two. After the prosecuting officers had been introduced, the 'Recorder called over the names of the Members of the House, who were about. 140 in number. The President then proceeded to interrogate the accused. Offroy, the first he addressed, refused to reply. The President admonished him, but to no effect—he declined returning any answer. Pommier, the next prisoner, made no objection to state his name, age, and profession ; after which, M. Martin du Nord, the Attorney-General, rose, and demanded of the Court to divide the accused into three classes, and try sepa rately, first, the sub-officers of Luneville ; second, the ac cused of Arbois, Marseilles, St. Etienne, and Lyons ; and lastly, those of the category of Pais. The prisoner Offroy, on twing called on by the President to state his Christian name adsurname, refused to answer. -The President warned the pi isoner to desist from a line of conduct so contrary to the interests of his defence. The prisoner said it was useless to address him—he should not reply. The same question was put to several other prisoners, some of whom refused to reply—the others stated their names, &c. The Advocate-General addressed the Court, and stated the order of the proceedings, as set forth in the requisition, and which would be the same as that adopted with respect to the prisoners of Lyons. It bad been decided to com mence with the trial of the Luneville prisoners, and the others in the following order—those of Epinal, St. Etienne, &c., and finally those of Paris. M. Tonna, the advocate who had been appointed by the Court to defend Offroy, declined savir o s any thing in his defence, as the prisoner had refused to recognize the juris• diction of the Court. • • The prisoner Gilbert refused to state his name, profes sion, &c., contending that the Court was not definitively constituted, and that the prisoner had not had a free choke of counsel for the defence. The requisition of the Advocate-General was then read, and the Court retired to deliberate thereon. .. - Sergeant Andrews, it is Understood, is to act as Chairman of the Middlesex Sessions pro tem., until the legal proceedings between Alderman Winchester and Coun sellor Rotch are brought to an issue. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT.—A public meeting of the burgesses of the borough of Newport, was held at the sireen Dragon Hotel on Thursday evening last, to con sider what measures should be taken to insure the return of eligible persons as members of the Common Council. he return of nine Councillors for the South Ward by the Reformers is considered certain ; and there is a probability of four being returned by them for the North Ward. A decided majority will be obtained by the Reformers. VICTORIA THEATRE. A short piece, entitled The Post Chaise Companion, was introduced at this theatre last evening. It contains but few incidents. Two brothers start in business about the same time ; one is fortunate and conducts himself well, the other meets with adversity ; and in the course of his varied life Ihrms an acquaintance with a profligate adventurer called illanderil, who persuades him to start with him in the character of a highway robber. They meet with the fortunate brother at an inn, unknown to them at the time, and the adventurer, with the reluctant concurrence of his companion, resolved to rob him of a large sum of money, which he had ascertained to be in his possession. The pro digal brother in the mean time learns that the intended victim is his brother, resolves to defend him, and, while the attack was about to be made, Men:devil is surprised ant shot by a Bow-street officer.- Some of the acting was good—the part of the Waiter particularly was well per formed by Mr. Marshall, and the piece was announced for repetition with 'approbation. WESTERN INSTITUTE,LEICESTER- SQUARE. - Last night Dr. Epps gave the fourth and last lecture, on the subject of Phrenology, at the Literary 'and - Scientific Institution, Leicester-square. The three former lectures were delivered on the three preceding Thursdays. On each occasion the theatre was remarkably crowded; and, owing to the enthusiastic manner in which the Doctor en tered into the defence and illustration of the doctrines of Phrenology, the interest increased with each lecture. The mental " fortune-telling" seemed to gain many converts ; so many, that it was tolerably obvious that many who " came to scoff," were obliged to listen very attentively, and went away with their previous notions somewhat disordered. We cannot pretend to give even the outlines of four lectures, occupying as they did upwards of an hour and a half each, the Doctor's oratory being rapid, though remarkably clear. He adverted to the importance of a knowledge of the human mind, and then to the gene ral propositions on which phrenology is based. He sub mitted—l . The brain is the organ of the mind. 2. That diffe rent parts of the brain have different functions (illustrating his opinion by the heads of 'Hume, Franklin, O'Connell, Ste.) ; 3. That the size of the organs is an index of the rela tive power of the faculties ;—also, showing his opinion by the display of different heads. He- next contended, that the external form of the head is an index of the form of the brain. This was most . interestingly supported. He after wards examined and answered the objections to phrenology, and proceeded to enlarge on its advantages, as 'applied to the purposes of life, " in choosing servants, friends, relatives, parochial officers, Members - of Parliament, in rer.rdating education, and encouraging Christian liberality." This divi sion of the lecture was at once shrewd, merry, instructive, and characterized by great knowledge of persons and skill in the science ; and the series afforded opportunities for information, - moral, instructive, and scientific elucidations, that could not fail to impart knowledge—to make the wise wiser—to confirm the benevolent in their benevolence— and to convince all that this study of the brain is calculated to advance medical skill, and the benefits and comforts of mankind. EXCLUSION OF DR. LAMB FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLORSHIP. (From the Cambridge Independent of Saturday last.) From an article in yesterday's Chronicle, it appears that the heads did not nominate Dr. Lamb as one of the can didates for the -office of Vice-Chancellor (as according to the usual, practice they ought to have done), because he is favourable to the admission of Dissenters to degrees in the University. And it may be inferred from the same article, that Dr. Davy, the Master of Caius College, or any other bead who might advocate the same cause, would in like manner be . excluded. .That the heads have' the power to nominate any Members of the Senate they please, no one pretends to deny ; but to deviate from the ordinary custom in the exercise of that power in such a case, and for such reasons, appears to us in the highest degree arbi trary and unjustifiable, not to say dangerous. It is one• of those instances of the-abuse of power which saps the foun dation of the power itself, and paves the way for its ulti mate overthrow ; for if experience, and recent experience too, teacheS any lesson to small bodies of men invested with extensive powers and privileges, it is this—that it behoves them to -be very circumspect in the use of those powers—that they no not strain and put them to the proof on every occasion which promises a little immediate advan tage, whilst at the same time 'they, give offence, and estrange the minds of large bodies of favourable and up-, right men from them. , Nothiter l e ads so effectually and speedily to the destruction of exlsive privileges in a free country like this (as ifs recent history proves), as needlessly confining them within a narrow and exclusive party basis. That the exercise of the power invested in the heads was at least unadvised and uncalled, for, if not wanton, we hope to : prove _to . the •sAtisfaction of every unprejudiced mind. The office of Vice-Chancellor is undoubtedly -one not only of honour, but also of considerable power in many respects ; but that officer has no power, whatever either to adinit Disienters to degrees, or to - pass laws iu any way in.their. favour. He is not even one of the three estates (if we may so speak) of the , University. Ex officio he is a member'of the Caput—a body consisting of six persons, each of whom possesses the same power as the Vice-Chancellor, ',viz. a veto. And every question, after passing, the ordeal of the Caput, must also pass the white-hood and black-hood houses separately, before it can be the law of the University ; and We are told by the writer in the Chronicle that three-fourths of the members of these houses are opposed to the principles of Dr. Lamb. What danger then can arise from his being Vice-Chancel lor? It m a y b e sa id, that as a member of the Caput he would reject petitions to Parliament against the admission of DiTsenters. But from what •we know of Dr. Lamb's character and principles we arc of a different opinion, and believe that he would be slow to.exercis4.:his power of veto on such questions, preferring to leave them to the decision of the Sen a t e ; B u t even if .it should be otherwise, is the rejection of petitions by the Caput to be confined in future to one party ? Is Dr. Lamb to be stigmatised by some of ; his brother heads as unfit for the office ef•Vic-i-Chancellor ? Are wholesome precedents to be departed from ? Are those Members of the Senate who think with Dr. Lamb to be set at nought ? Is a schism amonzA tht: heads them selves to be iisked (for they are not unanimous on this point)? Is all this to ba done, to say nothing of other evils, because it is possible a petition against Dissenters LAMBETH' ANCIENT CHURCH.—In despite o the mean opposition of the Destructives, the venerable tower of the ancient Archiepiscopal Church of St. Mary, Lambeth, ,which forms so picturesque an ornament_ to the Palace, as , viewed from the water, is undergoing a most complete and satisfactory repair froth its very foundations. The upper portions, which were most decayed, have been entirely removed, and the workmen arc now engaged in laying new courses of a durable kind of stone, obtained from' quarries in the vicinity of Bath. The work is already considerably advanced. The burial-place of the Fitzwilliam family is at Marholm, near Peterborough ; and it is supposed that Lord Milton's remains will be interred there next week. The son of Mr. Betty, who is about thirteen years of age, and whose father was distinguished about thirty years ago as the infant Roscius ,is also, it seems, poSsessed of much precocious theatrical talents, and has acted Selim in the Gravesend Theatre, and Tancred, which his sire per formed when about the same age in the Liverpool and Co vent-garden Theatres with much effect. When Master Betty has - more exnerienee, - he will make his appearance in Covent-garden or Drury-lane Theatre, as his services would be acceptable in either. CAPTAIN COOK.—The discoveries of. the. great English circumnavigator were owing to a particular marked shilling. Yong Cook was a native of Yorkshire, and served as apprent►ce to a , merchant and shopkeeper in a large fishing town in that county. Some money had been missed from the till, and to detect the delinquent a very curiously marked shilling was mixed with the silver; which was accurately counted. On examining the till shortly after, this peculiar shilling was missing, and Cook was taxed a ith having taken it out ; this he instantly acknowledged, stating that its particular look had caught his eye, but affirmed at the same. time that he had put another of his own-in its place. The money was accordingly counted . over again, and found to agree exactly with his statement. Although the family was highly respectable, and there-. fore Capable of advancing him in his future prospects, and also much attached to him, and very kind, yet the : high ..spirit of the boy could not brook remaining in a situation where he bad been suspected ; he therefore ran away, and, having no other resource, entered as a cabin boy in a collier. SEALS IN THE RIVER TWEED.—It is • generally supposed that the seal lives in salt water only, but for some weeks past several of these have been occasionally seen playing their gambols in the Tweed, much to the astonish ment of most people. About a fortnight ago . they were first observed at Upsetlington, in the shallow stream that runs below the ford, and where their bodies-were but half covered by the water. Soon afterwards, two seals were seen in the deep water belew Milne-Graden House, about four miles below Upsetlington. The fishermen think they had come up the river in pursuit of salmon, of which, it is said, they are . fastidious gourmands. This is not the first instance of seals being discovered in the Tweed. Several years ago there was one which frequented the river opposite to Norhani Castle. It was observed for many successive evenings at nearly the same spot.—Berwid; and Kelso .IVardm SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. There is but one sentiment in every circle, and in' • every journal of any influence in this capital, as to the - Character and tendency of the Autoct at's extraordinary. harangue to the Municipal Deputation of Warsaw. In the course of the observations which w • 1 Ma( 111)0I1 it on Saturday, we felt not even a monteneary doubt as to its authenticity. It has that fierce peculCarity of lineament, that unmeasured anger, that rapacious egotism, that insatiable thirst of revenge, which be speak at once its genuine Calnmc origin. Warsaw, the scene of so much Polish gloty, the very name • of which is historically identified with Polish in- • dependence, kindled the fiery wrath of its Im perial visitor. Forgetting all that his diplomatists have been saying for the last five or six years • about his " maenanimity," his " disinterestedness." his '' clemency," his •" parental solicitude" for his people, and a thousand other fine qualities, • which they decked out in flowing phraseology, he thew off the mask which he no longer vote in the • presence of Europe, end revealed himself, such as we • always thought him to be, au unprincipled despot, the : merciless chief of a barbarian horde, \vim, having • learned from foreign tutors the manners of civilized society, has • been performing the pat t of a Royal Tartzege, until his e passions have at length outrun his • hypocrisy. He stands now before the world the suet • successor of Constantine—than which it was im possible to pronounce a name more detested by Pe land—by all Europe—until that of Nicholas came to supercede it, in the execration of mankind. The copy of this memorable effusion—which has reached our Government—and of the authenticity of which - not a shadow of doubt can be entertained, — differs, in one particular, from that printed by the !Arrow/ des Debats. In the copy of the latter we read the following sentence :—" I thus tell you the truth, in order to throw a true light upon our relative positions, and that you may know upon What you have to depend—for I am now seeing and speaking to you for the first time since the disturb ances." The other copy to which we allude adds these words :—" And fir the first time, too, you are to ob serve, as the Emperor qf Russia, no longer the King (ye Poland." This is as much as to say, in the fan g o uaae familiar to Napoleon, " the kingdom of Poland has ceased to exist.' No such kingdom do I any longer recognise. Ido not even acknowledge You as subjects of the Duchy of Warsaw. You are henceforth the inhabitants of a province of my empire, and of a province, too, which I shall ever hate, because I ant convinced you hate mc. Such language as this, from a Christian Sovereign to a Christian people, is so of fensive in every point of view in which it. can be con sidered, that we arc almost convinced, with some of our Contemporaries, that it must have been the result of a paroxysm of that madness to which it is known the Imperial family is subject. It was the early develop ment of this hereditary taint which induced Alexander to exclude Constantine from the succession to the throne. It is possible that a stronger degree of bodily health postponed the fatal disclosure of a similar malady in the temperament of Nicholas. Several recent circum stances fortify this conclusion. The camp at Kalisch, for instance, must have been nothing more or less than the device of a mind wrought up to frenzy by its morbid fears of the revolutionary spirit of Eu rope. That camp was formed at an expense which, as the event proved, the Russian treasury was ill able to afford. It was evidently a sudden thought, intended to be realised in an imposing array of Rus sian, Austrian, and Prussian troops, who were to remain embodied throughout the winter. Under the impression, that the Autocrat's resolution would be the law of his allies, he set his legions in motion, and proclaimed the object of their march, before he made his arrangements with the two other sove reigns. The prudent refusal of Austria to join in this ridiculous demonstration against public opinion is well known. Equally well known is the deep re luctance with which the King of Prussia yielded to the folly of the Czar. He knew, as every man of common sense did, that such an exhibition of mili tary power was a mere waste of resources—that it could produce no tangible result. But the absurd de cree had gone forth, and it could not be recalled. We remember, too, the wildness of manner which Nicholas is said to have occasionally betrayed in the field; the gaiety which he assumed at 'rapine when conversing with his consort, who showed by her care-worn inoks and tremulous lips the terrors that were brooding over her mind ; that inexplicable and hasty visit to Vienna, of wh e ich even his own em bassy was unapprised—above all, these words that broke from him at Warsaw—and then his rapid jour ney to m convent, where, after the delivery of such passionate menaces, he knelt in the dark for two hours—his improvised meeting with. Lord Durham at Kiew--who certainly had no idea of enjoying that honour until after his arrival at Pe tersburg—all these circumstances indicate a state of mental excitement, which it is fearful to contemplate in a person who, by the accident of birth, happens .t,o have confided to his hands the destinies of so large 'a multitude of our fellow-beings. Let this be as it may, the Warsaw speech solves several questions which • have hitherto been veiled in considerable obscurity. It is quite impoasible that any man in his senses can any longer doubt the propriety of saving Turkey from the supremacy. of such a Protector as Nicholas has now shown himself to be. That. speech will determine the Sultan to take a fixed and invariable course, such as• may enable England to extricate him from his present equivocal and ' embarrassing condition. That speech will be read throughout Prussia and Austria, and especially throughout Hungary, with feelings akin to our own. It may be recollected that the Hunga rian Diet petitioned their King in favour of the Poles.. Prussia and Austria can no longer act with Russia, • scenic the contempt which the Autocrat has expressed for the Treaty of Vienna, and for every European . Power but his own. They must eec that they can no longer march by the side of the Tartar, unless they wish to forfeit their growing civilization and to risk their tranquillity, Without an object that to them would be productive of no sort of advantage. The Warsaw oration has therefore completely isolated Russia. , She must henceforth exist in a sphere of her own. She is cut off from the European family, and has no- , thing now to do except to seek for alliances amongia , the Esquimaux.—Mmoring Chronicle. Agricultural associations, and meetings in stipport of them, furnish topics to which we have a more lively pleasure in drawing public attention than to party dinners and their usual appendages=—to wit, the critni nation of political -adversaries, the widening of breaches and perpetuating of hostilities between those who might better serve their country by a hearty co-opera tion in the general management of her affairs. Three great agricultural meetings have taken place within these few days—one at Aylesbury, where the Marquis - of Chandos presided--' -one at York, under the name of the YUrkshire Central-Agricultural Association, of which the Chairman - was Mr. Caylev, M.P. for the North Riding, the proceedings of which Nve reported yester d a y—and a third, at Shrewsbury, Lord Dar lington in . the chair, with an account of whiche we this day present our readers. Lord Chandos, i s , we make no doubt, a conscientious and well meaning Nobleman. But one amongst our reasons. fur rejoicing at the progressive increase of these agricultural societies is the frequency of discuesion , • •l amongst agriculturists themselves, winch must result.'' from such institutions, and the consequent opportu nity which will thereby be afforded for correcting threa errors of respectable men, whence the Noble Marquia,l himself', perhaps, mav not be the last to profit. Lord Chandos, to do him justice, does not propose any fresh quackery w ith the circulating medium, as if the currency question were at all involved with 'that of • what his Lordship terms the " distresses of the fat met." But the Noble Lord, w e conceive to be as far astray on the other side, when be starts as an im portant question " for the House of Commons," how that assemble proceed to legislate with a view . to obtain relief for the farmer.
