LORD BROUGHAM and MR. BULWER. In a late ntimber of the The 'British and Foreign Review, a publication of considerable merit, there appeared an article on the " State of English Literature," containing a notice of Mr. Edward Lytton Bulwer's novels. Mr. Bulwer has re plied to that notice in his preface to a new edition of " The Disowned," and certainly, for modesty and forbearance, the reply of Mr. Edward Lytton Bulwer is without a parallel. We cannot withhold fromi:our readers this retort of Mr. Bulwer, attd in cider that it may be more intelligible, we prefix to it the passage in the Review which has provoked him to put this extinguisher on Lord Brougham : " One writer of fashionable novels (says the Reviewer) has survived, and is distinguished from the class by a certain supre macy—which, by the way, he assumes, with no ordinary degree of self-complacent exaggeration. Mr. Bulwer chooses, we know not why, to be designated as the author of Pelham.' This is, we think, by no means the best of his novels. It is assu redly a clever work ; but the general design, the incidents, the characters, and the ethical remarks, which the author may be supposed to put forth in his own person, are uncommon, or out of the way, rather than original. A certain sort of talent produces the uncommon—the recherchj—but to be original and spontaneous requires capacity of another kind. He employs his fancy and ingenuity upon a world of his own imagining, and composes from it in laborious detail, instead of painting from nature and society. There is nothing natural and simple— there are no felicities of observation, humour, or character— none of those pointed and portable apophthegms, which arc easily remembered and often repeated. The author offends, not only by a constant tone of i effectation and nonchalance, but by a more offensive mixture orpretension and solecism. " Eugene Aram,' appears to us a work greatly superior : it is altogether in a different strain of intellectual power and feeling. There is, as usual in Mr. Bulwer's books, something forced, exaggerated, and pretending ; but there is a deep and curious sounding of human motives, and an able exposition of human nature and c harac t er. He sought inspiration—or his materials --among the ruins of Pompeii, in a fortunate hour. This novel is not quite the splendid production which it ap. (ears to the author's friends, and, doubtless, also to himself P' but it is gotgeous, imposing, and eloquent—in its way—with an advantage precious and peculiar in the author's case, viz., exemption from the inconvenient criterion of real life. Had he laid his scene at the same period in ancient Rome, he would be judged, and judged severely, by the abundant re cords of Roman life, manners, and character. It does not occur to the reader—or it occurs only to the thinking few—to apply the standard of Rome to his dramatic representation of the inhabitants of Pompeii, and the eye goes over--page after page—without being shocked by anything unfaithful, mistaken, or absurd. " Mr. Bulwer *has alio appeared as a professed essayist. There are the same efforts as in his novels, to impose some thing out of the way, or some forced combination of hetero geneous truisms, for novelty and depth, or to conceal penury of ideas by the glitter of words. His recent book, de omnibus :rebus, entitled The Student,' consists, we have understood, partly of reprints of his fugitive contributions to the Maga zines—partly of rejected miscellanies of which he wished to empty his portfolio. The publication bears decisive marks of crudeness, conceit, and rashness ; we have seldom looked into a book containiog so little that a reader of ordinary informa tion, correct taste, and sober mind, could assent to, or indeed comprehend. lie has treated of all imaginable, and, we bad almost said, of some unimaginable things— ' Quicquid agunt homines— nostri est farrago libelli—' and renounces upon all, ex cathedra% We will not attempt to divine the probable reception which would be given by those who know an% thief; of the matter to such writing as the fol lowing upon the character of Tacitus Every slave that fell graved in his (Tacitus's) heart a warning —every horror lie experienced, animated and armed his genius—saturate with %the spirit of his age. he has made that age incarnate to pos terity—actual, vivified, consummate, and entire—if, indeed, it be dread and ghastly, it is the dread and ghastliness of un natural life.'" Upon this Mr. Bulwer modestly remarks : " In a Review, recently set up, if report be true, by Lord Brougham and Mr. Beaumont (Arcades ambo), the writer of an article on the Present State of Literature has been pleased to speak slig':tingly -of my works. Let him—l can afford .nis censure.; but why should he mis-state as wall as cen sure He attributes to me phrases and expressions in ' Pel ham' which are never used in that work. 'ro be taught man nerr by Messrs. BroUgham. Beaumont, and Co., is a little toe good ! Th-y will be teaching me the classics next !—as they opviti• to be half inclined to do when they refer to the Last Days of Pompeii.' By the bye, what do the mean by talking of novels as ephemeral? Allowing mine to be so, dues not every one know that that there are novels, of this day, that will outlive all the latinizcd balderdash Lord Brougham ever wrote or spoke ? I should not be surprised if even " Eugene Aram' were remembered when the pamphlets of Mr. Tern kins, and the speech on Law Reform, are as things that were not. 'Splenetic pamphlets. long-winded speeches—and essays on Natural Theology ; these are the true ephemerals of litera ture ! The object of the Review is capital. Its prospectus declares it set up because " Literature is in a very low state :" (so one would think by such at proof): Mr. Beaallmont is to elevate and redeem it : good r. Beaumont I Fancy at fu tuture Schlegel arriving at the Intellectual History of 1835 --would he not write thus? "The English literatui-e, de graded by the teeming productions of Moore and Words worth, and Southey and Hallam, was, in this propitious year, suddenly restored to its pristine glory by the learning and genions of the immortal Beaumont, Esq., M. P., for the county of Northumberland !"—Ohserver. SI►_IPPING.-(THIS DAY.) FTIOM LLOYD'S.

Extract of a letter from the Agent, at Antigua, dated 13th Aug. :—" This Island was visited with a very severe hurri cane. The shipping have suffered but comparatively little. The gale commenced at three P. M. from N. W., and continued from that quarter till eight, when it veered to S.E., and blew with unabated violence till ten, when it gradually moderated, and was quite lulled by two. The Grace Jones, of Liverpool, dragged over the bar, with both anchors down, wind at S W., and dragged back again when it veered; her masts were then cut away. She is now safe at anchor. The Codrington, for London, rode out the gale outside Parham, and sailed to-day. The Harmony, M'Donald, for the Clyde, rode out the gale, but sprung her bowsprit, and lost her main-top gallant mast. The Commerce, for London, and Manley, for Liverpool, rode out the gale. " The following vessels were driven ashore, but were ex pected to be got off with trifling damage :—Schooners— Eleanor, lost fore-mast ; Portess, Sarah, Mentor, Pysche, all of this island ; Phoenix, and Mary James, of Barbadoes. ,Sloops—The Never Despair, Brisk, Comptroller, and Wil liam Hannan. PRESENT OF CUTLERY TO THE PRINCESS VIC TORIA.—We had the pleasure yesterday of examining a splendid morocco case, with a large gold shield, with the coronet and the lAter V. engraved on it, intended as a pre= sent from .Lady Milton to the Princess Victoria, and which was to be presented this morning (Tuesday) previous to the Royal party proceeding from Wentworth House to Don caster races. The case contains a variety of specimens of the different articles of cutlery made by Messrs. J. Rogers and Sons.—Sheffield Iris. ~. , ~y~; TRE SUN, LONDON, TilUitkoAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1835. which we have alluded above, we must class the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop GLOUCESTER. At an Epis copal visitation, held a few days ago by his Lordship at Cheltenham, he delivered a charge, in the course of which he admitted that the complaints urged by Dissenters against the Church, were well founded. " Pluralities and the non-residence of the clergy," ob served his Lordship, " which were charged as the chief abuses of the Church, had long been a source of con stant regret to all ranks of the Clergy. The impove rishment of some parishes, which rendered their union with others indispensable to provide adequate compen sation for the Clergy, was owing to the emoluments of those livings having been assigned ,to the Monaste ries under the Roman Catholic supremacy ; and those emoluments and revenues were subsequently, at the Reformation, granted to laymen, whose successors now possess the glebes, &c., giving to the Clergy only a small portion of the money payments. This is, in deed, a great abuse; but it is not an abuse on which Church Reformers of the present day delight to dwell." His Lordship's observations may be unquestionably most correct ; but we 'must which has taken place in stage coaelres. It appears that not any of the various kinds of springs have hitherto been subjected to accurate experiment. The cliptical spring is usually applied to carriages that have no perch, but the telegraph spring, which is a combi nation of four grasshopper-springs, is the one princi pally used for stage and mail coaches, with perches. Mr. MACNEIL stated in his evidence that the relative 1 advantage of springs could be tried by an instrument which he has invented, and " which is the first that has been practically used for ascertaining the best description of springs, of wheels, of axles, and the Mode of hanging car riages." Mr. EDGEWORTH'S ingenious contrivance was satisfactory to a certain extent, for it proved that by using springs, one• fifth of the power was gained. The principle, too, of Mr. GILBERT'S paper on the same subject, shows the advantage of the use of springs, and that the weight which is in the body of the carriage is allowed to keep a horizontal position, whilst the carriage-frame and wheels pass over any obstacle. Springs are of great service, not only by causing a diminution of draught, and ease to travellers, but " they cause carriages to last much longer than they would without them. A coal-waggon or a cart drawn at the rate of mail-coaches, would not last a month." With respect to wheels, our authority states : " The great point to be attended to in the wheels is that they should be as large as possible, consistent with the work they have to perform ; a wheel may' be n.ade too heavy by being made too large ; but there is a certain point which should be attended to, as well as the width of the tire and the diameter of the wheel, that is, to proportion the wheel to the diameter and width of the axle ; the axle should be made sufficiently strong to bear the greatest possible weight that is ever likely to come upon it." A preference is given to COLLINGE'S Axle, which has been known to run 1,800 miles without requiring oil. Mr. MACNEIL thinks that mail coaches, con structed without a perch, are not so safe as others, by reason of the lateral motion which must take place be ween the hind and forewheels. We have inserted elsewhere an article from a weekly contemporary, from which it appears that hostilities are about to commence—perhaps we should rather say have actually commenced--between Lord BROUGHAM and Mr. EDWARD LYTTON BULWER. The lattergen tleman seems to us to have acted with singular indis cretion-in throwing down the gauntlet, in the way he has done, to Lord BROUGHAM, who, he cannot but know, posgesses a power of crushing, which few men of the present day—certainly not Mr. BuLwEß—could resist. Neither do we see the least ground on which so intemperate an attack can be justified, had it been safe in other respects. What, even according to Mr. BULWER'S own showing, is the amount of Lord BROUGHAM'S offence ? Merely this—that the Noble and Learned Lord is said to have been concerned in " setting up " a Review, in a late Number of which there is a critique on Mr. BULWER'S writings, not quite so complimentary as he could have wished I This appears to be the head and front of Lord BRouGHAm's offending; and for this, we should have thought, a milder remonstrance might have sufficed. Indeed, had his Lordship been the writer of the critique, which is not pretended, it would have been good policy in Mr. J3uLwER to have submitted to the verdict passed on his works—for an author and a reviewer never enter the lists on equal terms. As matters now stand, he has shown a sensitiveness which will be laid hold of, and through which he will be made to feel acutely the imprudence of which he has been guilty. The Paris papers of Tuesday, received this mon ing, bring no political intelligence of the slightest im‘ portance. It appears from a telegraphic despatch, dated the 6th inst., from Algiers, that ABED EL KEDIR, the Arab chief, was defeated in the vicinity of Oran on the 29th of August. The KING, QUEEN, and some members of the Royal household, set out on Monday evening for the Chateau d'Eu, in Normandy, where they are likely to remain for some The advices from Spain in the French journals are more important than the domestic intelligence. The following are extracts The Memorial Bordelais acids the following P.S. to the announcement of the late change in the Ministry. " The new Cabinet no longer exists : it has been for Spain a sort of Ministry of three days. " We learn, in fact, that Don AUGUSTIN An- GuELLEs has just been appointed by the QUEEN President of the Council, with orders to re-organise the Ministry. M. ARGUELLES was deputy to the Cortes in 1312 and 1819. In 1820 he was part of the Ministry known by the name of the. Seven Pearls ; he was the colleague of AMA.RILLAS during the insur rection in 1820, after which he became moderate, and was nicknamed the yinist er de las Vaginas. "He emigrated to England, where he remained during the eleven years of the restoration. He has no fortune. He lately published a memoir, in which he aims to show that the estata'to real is insufficient : he is the. Leader of the Opposition. " He is a man of probity, and opposed to the Invervention. The Courrier Francais says-" The following changes are confidently stated to be about to be effected in the diplomatic body : .--Baron de Barante, Ambassador at Turin, goes to St. Petersburg, in the room of Marshal Maison ; Count de Ru migny, Ambassador at Berne, - succeeds Baron de Barante at Turin ; The Duke de Montebello, Plenipotentiary Minister at Stockholm, succeeds M. de Rumigny at Berne ; Count Charles de Mornay, Resident Minister at Carlsruhe, goes to Stock holm, in place of the Duke de Montebello ; M. de Bacourt, former Secretary of Embassy at London, succeeds M. de Mornay at Carlsruhe ; Baron Hector Mortier, Plenipotentiary Minister at Lisbon, goes to the Hague, in place of the Mar quis de Dalmatia, who was resigned ; the Count de Saint Priest, formerly Plenipotentiary Minister at Rio Janeiro, suc ceeds M. de Mortier at Lisbon."

SPEAKER, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE ASSEMBLY : " Being aware of the personal inconvenience to which many of you might be subject by being called together at a period of the year universally devoted to private business, I post poned to the present time your meeting, in the hope that the termination of the crop in most parts of the island, might ob viate, in great measure, any injurious results in consequence of your absence from your homes. The necessity, however, for the re-enactment of certain expiring laws, and the considera tion of some new measures of much importance, render further delay impossible. " The Bill establishing a permanent police, and tie Act in aid of the Abolition Law expiring on the last day of the pre sent year, it is advisable that you should reconsider them. It is with pleasure that I feel myself enabled to state from the reports which I have received, that the Police has attained a degree of efficiency, not to have been effected in so short a time, and without the assistance of inferior officers acquainted with military discipline. Had provision been made for the support of that force for a longer period, I could have procured either non-commissioned officers from the re giments of the line in this colony, or other persons rem England, duly qualified to organize it.

Let any sober-minded man contemplate the -" progress" which Mr. O'CONNELL is making through the North—let him look at the crowds of people that assemble in every town through which he passes, eager to do him honour, and at the splendid entertainments with which he is welcomed by the wealthy and the intelligent—and say whether he can resist the conclusion that the poli tical principles which Mr. O'CONNELL advocates are eminently popular. What, then, are the topics on which Mr. O'CON NELL dwells the most in his addresses to the people ? What parts of his speeches call forth the most rap turous applause ? Those in which he denounces the abuses which abound in 'our institutions ; and above all, that master-abuse, that master-grievance, which paralyzes all our efforts in the cause of national ame lioration. It is his condemnation of the House of Lords which is everywhere hailed with the most enthu siastic cheers. This is a sign of the times, pregnant with meaning, and we trust with benefit. Our readers will perceive, by the report of the pro ceedings at Newcastle, on Monday, inserted in another part of The Sun, that Mr. O'CONNELL met with the same cordial reception, by all classes of people, at Newcastle, as he had experienced at Manchester. He was met on the road by an immense multitude, and escorted into the town in triumph. Afterwards ad dresses from various places were presented to him, ex pressing approbation of his conduct, and urging him on to further exertions in the cause of Reform. In the afternoon he partook of a sumptuous entertainment, at which from 300 to 400 gentlemen were present. The speech delivered by 'Mr. O'CoLINNELL on his health being proposed is full of eloquence. He touches occasionally upon topics which he had noticed in his address at Manchester ; but so far are we from finding fault with this, that we hope he will in future lose no opportunity of inculcating them upon his hearers. The hypocrisy of PEEI I and the evils of hereditary legislation, can never Ice too often held up to public reprobation by one so capable of doing it well. A few of the Lordly dignitaries of the Established Church of England and Ireland have begun to admit, in unequivocal language, the existence of gross eccle siastical abuses which call for the interference of the Legislature. This may be classed among the greatest moral victories obtained by the people. Never would the clergy reform themselves—they never did, and hey never would, caress the necessity of any reform, un less they apprehended danger to themselves from with holding such a confession. It is a strange but undoubted fact, that we never have had a volun tary Church R.eformer, among Churchmen, who did not become so fr om some motive, of a nature entirely disconnected with the propagation of gospel truth. Even LUTHER., the great Apostle of the Reforma tion is not an. exception. Had the Augustinian monks been allowed to share with the Dominicans in the wealth and poi pularity accruing from the- sale of In dulgences, the h Teat event brought about by his agency might have suffi :red many years of delay. Fear is the motive by whi, ch the Church Reformers among the ecclesiastics of the present day are actuated. They begin to feel. a conviction that the people of England will not suffer die abuses of which they so justly com plain to continua ; and they know the consequences that must a rise fi.om leaving the whole of these abuses to be removed by a vote of the House of Commons. Among the m:inority of Ecclesiastical P r mers to be allowed to state that no body of men ever mourne, the existence of palpable and remediable evils more decorously, than did the clergy of the Established Church the evils of. pluralities and non-residence. Their grief must have been so intense as to stifle all attempts at utterance ; for we can safely challenge the Bishop of , GLOUCESTER to state a single instance in which the Episcopal Bench petitioned the Legislature for the removal of those abuses, over which the cham pions of the Church have shed so many tears of sor rowing self-humiliation. In the course of his charge his Lordship took notice of certain measures which the Episcopal Commission, appointed to inquire into the state of the Church, was prepared to recommend to the adoption of the Legis lature. After stating that he was himself . a 'member of that Commission, and consequently fully cognizant of all the evidence which had come before it, the Right Rev. Prelate said :—" I can have no difficulty in thatsay it is • designed to make the revenues of the • Church more extensively available to Ecclesiastical purposes. The revenues of sinecure stalls in Cathe drals will, it is expected, be applied to the better en dowment of parishes ; all sinecure rectories will pro, bably become parochial benefices, and the Com missioners have hopes of being enabled to raise the emoluments of the smaller livings so as to afford a decent income to the ministers, without infringing on other rights of property. Pluralities, where still permitted to exist, will be regulated by the annexation of parishes so immediately adjoining as to remove all cause of complaint. The system of non residence will be effectually altered ; but not by such cruel measures as have been threatened. As the law now stands, although there are upwards of three thou sand livings which have no glebe house, or, at least, none in which a Clergyman - could reside, yet, if he cannot reconcile himself to living in the hovel whi c h i s called a . glebe-house, the Clergyman is set down as a non-resident, and assailed with Clamour. The asser tion contained in the concluding sentence is, we are persuaded, the very reverse of true ; and we are con fident that the Bishop of GLOUCESTER must hive been imposed upon, else he never would have given utterance to it. Clergymen residing within, and doing the duty of their parishes, are not, and have not been, " set' down as non-residents, and assailed with clamor." In fact, the people are universally over-in dulgent to the , Priesthood, and never give vent to a complaint, unless the neglect of duty in the Clergy amounts to a charge of public scandal. The " strange combination between the Dissenters and Roman Catholics, for the obvious purpose of se parating the Church from the State," seems to have seriouslyalarmed the good Prelate ; but if he would know the cause of this combination, we beg to tell 'rim that it is because the Church Commissioners did 'ot do ten years ago what they purpose doing next We will further add, that the only plea sure which the people of England derive from a knowledge of the Reforms which the Episcopal Cominissioners intend proposing next year, is the satisfaction of knowing that the Church is pre pared for some change ; and, consequently, the future steps taken by the House of Commons will not come unawares on the most bigotted friends and de pendents of the Establishment. The case would have been very different two years ago ; but the people having been once under the necessity of calling the attention of the Legislature to Church abuses, we are very certain that they will not be deterred from what they regard as a sacred and incumbent duty, by any promised Reforms, originating from an Ecclesiastical Commission appointed by the House of Lords. Tar. We inserted yesterday a copy of the last Report male by the Commissioners appointed to enquire into the Post-office department on the subject of Mail coach contracts. As we live in times of transition, and everything that relates to progression possesses a certain hold upon our attention, it will perhaps be read with some interest. It will be seen that a saving of 12,0001. a-year to the public ought to result from the new contract. The horse-contractors, however, and not the Post office, always paying the mileage to those who provide the carriages, the saving cannot, perhaps, in strict ness, be set down at that sum, although there cannot be much difficulty, say the Commissioners, in securing to the public the full benefit of the reduction. 'We are not disposed to over-rate the importance of this saving, still 12,0001. a-year saved is something; and if this sum can be gained in an infinitetessimally small branch of that immense and widely-ramified establishment, we may perhaps not unreasonably infer, that further and larger savings may be effected in some other department of the Post-office, without in anywise impairing its efficiency. The country is under deep obligations to the Ho nourable and patriotic Member for Greenock for the zeal and industry with which he brought to light the numerous faults, defects, and anomalies of a system which the public—solely, as it would seem, because the Post-office is a department of the State not quite so bad as some others—regarded with more indulgence and re spect than it deserves. Everybody knows that the entire business• of the Postmaster-General is done by deputy, and it may in time, perhaps, be dis covered, that this sort of sinecure may cease without any disadvantage to the public service. As affairs are now managed, we have a new Post master-General with every change of Ministry— almost with every post—equally well paid, and neces sarily ill qualified for any duty useful to the public. We recollect, last July, what a host of Postmasters- General took up arms against Mr. WALLACE for presuming to inquire into Post-office affairs. The patriotic Member for Greenock, however, challenged them all to a discussion, and although excluded from those official sources of information which were open to and made use of by his opponents, he still most triumphantly established the truth of his facts, and demonstrated the necessity of a thorough reform in the system. We are, however, digressing. To return to the Mails. - Scientific men, and indeed all persons who have had any experience of any kind connected with carriages, will fully assent to Mr. MACNEIL'S asser tion, that " a great deal is to be done in the mode of hanging carriages." With, respect to the building of mail coaches, this gentleman is of opinion that no im provement has been effected correspondent to that S. ". ,4e, used every exertion in vain to obtain such assistance; but I am bound to state that notwithstanding this disadvantage, the police has been of such great public utility as to render its continuance absolutely essential to the tranquillity and main tenance of proper discipline on the estates. The law having taken away from the master the coercive powers he formerly possessed, it is necessary to replace it by one more suited to the new condition of the working classes, which you will see by the papers which I will cause to be laid before you. " The only new measures I would at present propose to you are an Act for the Legislative Union of the Caymanas with Jamaica ; and an Act for the encouragement of emigra tion. The recent changes in the relative positions towards each other of the two classes of his Majesty's subjects resident at the Caymanas render it expedient. " An Act relating to emigration appears to be absolutely necessary. The frightful mortality and other consequences attendant on the efforts which have 'been made for the intro duction of emigrants, are too well known to you individually. " I trust that the Legislature will feel the necessity of coming to some determination on the subject of my right of access to the correspondence between the Commissioners here and the Island agent in England. " MR. SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN OF THE ASSEMBLY, " The principle point to which I must direct your attention, as guardians of the public purse, is a grant for the continuance of the Permanent Police. lam aware that the vote for this purpose weighs heavily on the finances of the Island. " MR. SPEAKER, GENTLEMEN OF THE ASSEMBLY, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CCUNCIL, " I am happy at finding myself enabled to state that the Island remains in the most undisturbed state. The crops of the year have been got in in a much more favourable manner than could have been anticipated, considering the extraordinary change which has taken place. That it has fallen somewhat short is undoubtedly true, as I find by reference to the Custom House, up to the Ist of July, 1835, 68,001 hhds. of sugar have been shipped, shewing a diminution of 4,444 hhds., but I have not beard of a single instance of any canes remaining uncut. " With regard to the approaching crop on the coffee pro perties, it appears likely to be more luxuriant, but the prepa rations for next year on sugar estates are not generally as for ward as usual." CITY OF LONDON ELECTION. REVISION OF VOTERS.—THIS DAY. The Revising Barrister, Mr. TAMLTN, took his seat this morning at the usual hour. DRAPER'S COMPANY. Mr. TAMLYN said the case of a claimant, Lord Lowther, had been partly heard last night, and it stood over to this morning for proof of evidence. Mr. Trott—And proof of authority. Mr. W. H. Sawyer, who acted as clerk to Mr. Lawford, the clerk of the Company, stated that he had an authority, but contended that he was not bound to produce it. Mr. TAMLYN would give no decision as to whether proof of authority was necessary or not, but he would recommend Mr.- Sawyer to produce his authority. Mr. Sawyer then handed up a paper, signed by a person whom Mr. Sawyer stated to be a confidential friend of Lord Lowther. Mr. Trott objected to the authority, as not being signed by Lord Lowther himself. Mr. Sawyer contended there was nothing in the Act re quiring him to produce an authority ; independently of which Lord Lowther was not in England at present. Mr. TAMLYN, after looking into the Act, decided that the name of Lord Lowther being affixed to the claim, was sufficient. Mr. Trott hoped a note of his objection would be taken. Henry Smith, butler to Lord Lowther, deposed that his Lordship's town residence was 5, Cleveland-row, St. James's, and that he had resided there since the 14th February, 1831. His Lordship has a lodge at Newmarket, but has not been there more than three days within the last year. Mr. TAMLYN decided upon allowing the claim, subject to Mr. Trott's objection to the authority produced by Mr. Sawyer. The next claim was that of Richard Peckover Harris, re siding in Marsh-street, Walthamstow, which was objected to by Mr. Trott, on the ground that the claimant's residence was not within seven miles of the Guildhall. Mr. William Lane proved that the distance to Mr. Harris's house was not more than six and a half miles by the high road, and only six miles through the fields. The remaining claim, that of Mr. Hartshorn of Sydenham, was postponed until proof was adduced that his residence was within the limits prescribed by the Act. Mr. Trott contended that the claim should be struck out, as the party had not come prepared to prove it. Mr. TAMLYN thought it would be better to have the question of distance decided, and the claim was allowed to stand over. The Dyers, Fan-makers, and Felt-makers Companies lists were then revised, without observation. Mr. C. Suttley, clerk to the Dyers' Company, and the clerk of the Fan-makers Company, stated that they had omitted persons who had purchased their freedom and livery by re demption since the Ist of March 1831, as, in their opinion, they were not entitled to register. In answer to a question from Mr. TAMLYN, it was stated that the parties so excluded were not in attendance. DONCASTER RACES. (BY EXPRESS.) The Doncaster Stakes of 10 sovs. each, and 25 added.

A rumour prevailed there that the names of two of the most meritorious and independent Special Justices (Colonel Blake and Major Bishop) have been erased' from the Commission of the Peace. Upon inquiry, says the paper, we find there is some truth in the report. The Government broker has been purchasing Consols, on account of the West India compensation, to the amount of 165,0001. for the island of St. Kitt's. This caused Consols to improve from 90i Ito 901.7 7 for the Account, and 90, ; Omnium 3 i premium ; Exchequer Bills 16 18 ; India Bonds 4 6.

The Governor, accompanied by the Deputy Governor and several of the Directors, entered the Court-room at 12 o'clock. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, , The GOVERNOR stated that the present was one oft e General Quarterly Courts appointed by the Chart er, and ao one of the Half-yearly Courts appointed by the bye-laws consider a dividend. The Court of Directors , looking to theo general assets of the Company, had considered that a divi end d might be declared of 4 per cent. for the half year ending the 20th of October next. Mr. SELWYN said that before be could express his assent or dissent to the proposition of the worthy Governor, he thought it necessary to put a few questions to him on the present occa sion, to which he should require full, distinct, and satisfactory answers. In putting those questions he trusted that the worthy Governor would not suppose that he was imputing anY thing to him personally, for it had been his habit up on former occasions to put similar questions to his proceedings, and be in some instances be had put thirty times the num ber. In the first place, he should be glad to know up to what tiro t the accounts were made up on which the rate of the presen dividend of 4 per cent. had been calculated? The GOVERNOR answered up to the 10th of October. Mr. SELWYN observed, that that time not havi n g yet ar rived, he thought there must be some misunderstanding of his question. What he wished to know was , up to what time the balance had been made upon which the rate of the dividend had been calculated? Upon former occasions it Wos made up to the 31st of August. The GOVERNOR observed that it was so now. Mr. SELWYN said that the next question he wished to Pu t was, what was the amount of the rest at that time ? The GOVERNOR answered, 2,740,000/. Mr. SELWYN next wished to know whether the profits whic h , had accrued to the concern during the last half year exceedeu d or fell short of the amount of the dividends which wutli become payable on the 10th of October next? The GOVERNOR said that he had fully anticipated that s question like the one put by the learned proprietor would be put. He could assure the Court of Proprietors that the Di' rectors were most anxious that every information should be given to them.—( Hear.) The earnings of the last helf-Year fell short 19,0001. of the amount of the dividends that the Court of Directors proposed to make. On the other hand, however, when thy considered that this 'sa s . the first year of their new charter being brougn' into operation, and that it was also the first Year ante which they had to make a reduction of 150,0001. a-year , °- that they had only fallen short of theldividend, as he had told tbe last Court, 10,0001., and the present 19,0001., making 30,0001, the Court of Directors had thought it advisable and best to recommend to the Court of Proprietors a continuation a that dividend ; because when they considered the large the capital of the Bank, upwards of 14,000,0001., and, when they considered that circumstances might occur i i he did not mean to say that they would occur--w 1; would enable the Court of Proprietors to continue the ah'; dend, it was but fair that time should be given for the purpe,se of considering whether they would be enabled to continue oia dividend or not.—( Cheers.) The Directors therefore 1185 thought it right to continue the dividend. If the Directera, should find that they were not able to continue the divid e n • they would come to the Proprietors and ask for a lower di i r; dend, but in his opinion the experiment ought to be tried. deduction was to take place he trusted it would be a specific el l b , e ' not varying from year to year, as fluctuation was highly amount (01, jectionable.—( Hear, hear.) He trusted , however , that tu Jit would still be able to keep up the dividend as it at p rese n t, existed. He thought under all circumstances , persons c°o netted or acquainted with banking affairs would deem that t, Court of Directors, in the course they had adopted in re e,- mending the continuation of the dividend to the Court of r" prietors, had acted most properly. FAUNTLEROY'S BANKRUPTCY. e 0 Mr. SELwYN observed that the concern had sustainedag, loss by the forgeries of Pauntleroy—upwards of 360,n,%, The public Journals had informed them that the Cou rt-of Ge ri rectors had entered into some compromise with that O n b a t to which Fauntleroy belonged ; and it had been stated t ier the composition which that body (the Bank of England) eitre, had, or has to receive, amounted to 90,0001. He wished , th e , l 4 fore, to ask whether, in point of fact, that report w as fottu or not in truth ? ee l The GOVERNOR said that the Court of Directors had W a ith to take 95,0001. in lieu of all claims upon the partnersh i p which Fauntleroy was connected. Mr. SELWYN wished to know whether the 95,000/. money to that amount, or only a dividend on that sum? The GOVERNOR—It is money to that amount.—(Ch o '' Mr. SELwYN rejoiced to hear it. The GOVERNOR—And it has been received.--(Chee rs. o Mr. SELWYN—StiII better.—( A laugh.) lam glad 1, enormous loss has been reduced 25 per cent. rnE BRANCH BANKS. bu d Mr. SELwYN wished to know whether any alteration taken place in the branch banks since the last meeting The GOVERNOR observed that there had not. 'se Mr. SELWYN wished to know whether, upon tak in g s ,, count of those concerns, they occasioned a profit or a 10' The GOVERNOR—On the aggregate a very great prolit'iiel Mr. SELWYN thought the Governor was fully eritiliest to the thanks of the Court of Proprietors for tbe,.. m a." ) and distinct answers which he had given.—( Loud " — e st. He congratulated them upon the dividend of four Pe r i .; er which had just been declared, and he would conclude VI pressing a hope that long might it continue. Mr. YOUNG begged to know whether the 95,C00/. obtl c3 o from the firm of Fauntleroy and Co. firmed any part of th , e ll3' / fits out of which the present• dividend.of four per cer' been declared? The GOVERNOR—It does not.—( Hear, hear.) for' Mr. YOUNG—Then I think we are justified i n loolth i g wa Mr. t SO rd o better times 115 0 WILL . begged to know whether the stirPaico 40,000/., - which had been declared in the year 1831, h a carried to the profit of the present dividend ? tb i3 0 The GOVERNOR—It has been carried to the interest - dividend. Mr. WILLIAMSON did not understand, under these co l , a 3 stances, why there should be a deficiency of 30,000 .0.11, stated by the Governor, because according to his (I°oo liamson's) calculation, and deducting the 120,0001- the Governor alluded, there should be a surplus of 8 0, ' It 4 stead of a deficiency of 30,000/. The GOVERNOR explained that there were two item wgittP deducted from the supposed surplus—one was the gal boor, amounting to 70,000/. ; the other we did not distinctLY4 But he would again repeat that the present dividend s "' 3 ' out of the profits.—( does it Hear.) form OOP Mr. YOUNG—And not any part of the 9- The GOVERNOR—It does not. - I Mr. WILLIAMSON—I have another question to -; to know whether the rest is as large as it was last yea r ` il tas The GOVERNOR—The rest is rather better than '" the P M the ye ar 1825. f r. WEEDING—If the 95,000/. forms no part 0- sent dividend, what way has it been disposed of? The GOVERNOR stated that there was a fund lelv,r"iitstk meet losses, to which that sum had been paid over. had been always represented in the accounts of the tlbitt and the present sum would go to the diminution of de r count. He hoped he had: made himself suffieienq pe, stood. A sum of 350,000/. had been lost by the If f oir e , and against this they had written off 250,000/., ich eli lance of 100,000/., and the 95,0001. which they b ail ceived, would be set off against that sum to meet it. ert Mr. WEEDING—Then that sum of 95,000/.2 forn ls lo t the general assets of the Company ? The GOVERNOR—It was received only w ithin j „ oai' few days. l° Mr. BLACKBURNE observed that so far as he coa ,te` stand, after a few years experience of the new eras triottli,roo nothing in it upon which the Company could CO I themselves. It was natural that persons should re,J.tiolstl any observations which might be calculated to i'tbstyr money-value of their shares ; but it appeared to lin o d i d'' Proprietors knew as little of their concerns as they „ e re di d the old era, except that they did know that they sere Glaring a dividend larger than their profits could afford; 0 0' that upon reasons which appeared to him extremely I sive.
