TIIE PUBLIC JOURNAL. ..-Searcely a week has elapsed since we translated from ~ the' Journal des Debuts a lona article on the state of the United Kingdom, in which Mr. O'Con nell was described, and with great justice, as the elo quent denouncer of the grievances of Ireland, as the prudent and successful supporter of the Ministry, and PS an opponent of the Oligarchy, whose hostility was trnlv formidable, and ought to be forthwith disarmed by concession. No opportunity has since occurred to the writers in that journal for speaking of Mr. O'Connell, in which they have not endea- Toured to get up, as it were, a re-action against the effect of the very article to which we have alluded. Jt has alteady become of vital importance to the preservation of our Constitution, that Mr. O'Connell should by some means (which they have trot descriLed) be checked in his fatal career. "If he be a fool (which they very well know he is not), )1e ought accorzlingly,' say they, " to be despised anti openly disavoy. - cd. But if he really possess all the influence of which he boasts, the English Govern ment is a hundred-fold guilty' in permitting him thus quietly to demolish , ,?tep , by step, the ancient fabric of that Constitution, wiiirh for a hundred and fifty years has formed the glory of England, and in shutting its eves to the triumphant progress of the Great Amitatorthro the three kingdoms—forsuch !.riumphs u constitute in fact .(1. revolution." Thus our Galheart ad visers, to whom we present our best acknowledgments for their friendly intcrpsition in our affairs, take it upon themselves one nay to declare that O'Connell ought to be disarmed by concession, and that the Ca binet is much indebted to ,him for his judicious assistance ; and in a day or two after, tuning the many=stringed instrument on which they play to another pitch, they proclaim, that if he be not checked in his career, disavowed or decapitated, the power and the glory of England are gone, and the Mi nisters deserve to be impeached I Here is another Times for you I—A Parisian rival of the London apostate I—A Gasconader, who manifestly knows no principle but the dictate of the divided and vacillating set of school-boy statesmen, who have thrust themselves into the Governoent of France by the profession of liberal views of doi"iestic and foreign policy, every one of which they have abandoned, and even opposed, without a blush. There is, however, one reason, per haps for the inconsistent courses which the Journal des Debuts has pursued on this occasion. A week ago, O'Connell's invective against the new laws of its masters had not been spread all over France, through the newspapers which still survive in that country. A week ago, the example of O'Connell, in fanning the flame of "civil courage" throughout these kingdoms, had not led to the assembly in la Manche, at which M.Odil lon Barrot pronounced that , masterly speech which we published yesterday—a speech which, if we mis take not, will be memorable in the annals, of that coun try. For uttering that bold, and eloquent, and truly constitutional address, the Journal des Debuts has changed the name of the Honourable Deputy to M. O'Barrot, and affects to ridicule him as the O'Connell of France. Ridicule is a dangerous weapon. If it fail to destroy the victim against whom it is aimed, it recoils upon the sa . crificer with an unerring blow. If M. Odillon Barrot will but follow up the course which he has so- well commenced—if he can but teach his countrymen that the age for physical revolutions is passed by, and that the only effectual mode for com pelling the Sovereign of the French to return to the spirit of the Barricades, and to perform the promises upon the faith of which be was elected to the Throne, is to be found in the strenuous and persevering imita tion of the Irish system of agitation,—he may then, indeed, merit the title—and it is one of which he or any man might well be proud—of the O'Connell, or, in other words, the Liberator of his country. The French are the allies of the English, the Scotch, and the Irish. We acknowledge that union, and rejoice in it. Treaties between Governments are made or broken by a breath ; but the sympathies between communities of men at tached to their liberties, " grow with their growth, strengthen with their strength," and ought to be inextinguishable. Could we but once see public din ners and assemblages for electioneering or other poli tical purposes become_frequent among our neighbours, we should not yet despair of their freedom. In the field we have met them as the bravest of our foes— in the camps of agitation they and we must always be the sincerest friends. They want no " courage' but that which begins by patiently diffusing through the kingdom the elements of that resistance which arises out of individual exertion of intelligence ; these ele ments, when matured by " agitation," will of them- k selves combine and form public-opinion ; and against the influence of that power no faithless dynasty, no infractions of the Charter can long remain to insult a determined people.—Morning Chronicle. Some of the Ministerial papers which less than a week ago were exulting that King Leopold was coming over in order to rescue his Royal niece from God knows what conspiracy of some Orangemen (I) in some un discovered place of Ireland, are now assuring us that the visit of the King and Queen of Belgium has no reference to any political object. Why, who but the boobies of' the Ministerial Press ever supposed it could have any political object ? King Leopold is no plotter, and still less his amiable consort, and have enough to do to maintain themselves against certain " Orange men" much nearer home than the shores of Ireland. Then who but these senseless scribes ever accused the Duchess of Kent or her Illustrious daughter of politi cal objects ? The first, a lady remarkable for her scrupulous and exemplary abstinence from all political intrigue ; the latter, an interesting child, whose whole time is dedicated, under her mother's anxious care, to the improvement of her mind, by the studies and pur suits appropriate to her tender age. Sir John Conroy, too, who is the State attendant of these Illustrious la dies, is a gentleman distinguished by excellent conduct and most courteous manners, but is as little likely to embark in any political plot as he is to write an epic poem. It was hardly worth while to notice such ab surdity, except for the sake of exposing those persons who, within a few days, attached the greatest political interest to a visit which they now pronounce to be one merely of a private family character.—Times. We commend the admirers of the Constitution as it is, and especially the admirers of the House of Lords as at present constituted, to a perusal of a document whi c h will be found in this day's paper, giving an ac count of all Bills, private .as well as public, which have passed the House of Commons, but have been, on various pretexts, rejected by the Lords. It is a " black list " in every sense of the word—black in intention—black in practice—and black as to the pos sible existence in future of any cordial co-operation bet‘een the Lords and the Commons, until the former have been reformed, and their hereditary wisdom brought to the test of responsibility.. It is possible some of the Bills may have been justly deferred, in order to render them more available to the public service; but examine them how we may, the majority of those rejected were unexceptionable in principle, and had they passed into laws, been of eminent ad vantage to the public ; while with regard to others which were laid - before their Lordships, not a first only, but a second time, such as that of the Great Western Railway Company, it is lamentable to think bow much time has been wasted in vain upon them, and how much money, without any other tarTible reason than that private interest should be-preferred to pu!dic advantage, and that of a faction to that of the nation at large. An evening Contemporary, who de plores equally with ourselves such a state of things, comes to the conclusion that " for the present opposi tion of the two Houses some remedy must be found," but that " what that can be while the Peers continue to regard themselves as the ordained check and bridle On the nation, and on the representatives of the nation, we are at a loss to say." Truly, this is a lame and impotent conclusion. "At a loss to say what' the remedy must be ?" As well pro,, pound, and with equally good reason, that fire is consuming you, and that you must not attempt to moderate its fierceness or extinguish it altogether, If the House of Lords be a curse upon the country, those who complain of it are either cowards or fools if they do not employ their utmost efforts to accomplish its abolition ; for the Lords are not a whit more an essen- tial portion of the Constitution, than were Gatton and Old Sarum, and other equally respectable places. ; : They were struck out of the list of privileged places, and their franchise trauscc•rred to others more cf:paVe of using it for the public benefit ; • and are we to be told at this time of day, that the Lords cannot he dealt with, if they prove refractory, after the same fashion ? What is there in their composition, personally or bodily, to entitle them to be gniltv of a perpetuity of mischief ? ? What is their. charter for such, abuse Are one hundred and seventy senseless and infatuated men to lord it over a nation of millions—and that nation the first in respectability, in wealth, in art, and in science—and vet no remedy ? Out upon the craven who could intimate a doubt, or hesitate to declare that the peo ple of England have only to intimate their will, in order to carry it into effect.—Morning Adverliser. THE REGISTRATION. CITY OF LONDON. COMMON PLEAS, GUILDHALL.—WEDNESDAY. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Mr. Benjamin S. Mountcastle's name was removed from the circumstance of the overseer inserting in his rate-book the name of claimant's brother. The party claiming had occupied the premises for a term of fife years, had paid rates, and was not aware, until the objection was made in Court, but that the premises were rated in his own name. Mr. Rowcroft objected to the name of George Mande ville, 7, Saville-buildings, being retained on the list, upon the ground of his occupying a house, the rates of which had been compounded for with the parish by the landlord. An arrangement had been entered into to pay for this house and others the sum of 11. 10s. quarterly, but, upon ti:e examination of the collector, it appeared that a greater sum should have been paid according to the assessment than the contract agreed for. The name of this person, as also four others similarly circumstanced, were expunged from the list. COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX. BOROUGH OF THE TOWER HAMLETS. The list of St. Leonard, Shorediteh, contained 2,800 voters, beingtab, , ut 600 more than last year. There were 76 claims: arid only four objections. RIGHT OF ;,01/OEUS_ TO VOTE. Mr. William Faiicloth appe.2red to support his claim as the occupier of an apartment used !iv him as a counting house, in a dwelling-house inhabited by LIS 14odlord. He claimed as a lodger. Mr. Ware, the vestry clerk of Shoreditch, opposed the claim, on the ground that a lodger was not eligible to be rated, and, therefore, could not in law claim to be rated., Mr. MERIVALE said, that though the Reform Act gave the holders of rateable property a power to claim to be rated, the case of a lodger stood alone. There must be a distinct occupancy of a distinct building. The Revising Barristers sat yesterday, at the Vestry room, Limehouse, to revise the lists of All Saints, Poplar St. Anne's, Limehouse, Ratcliffe ; St. Paul's, Shadwell ; Bromley, St. Leonard's ; and St. Mary, Stratford-le-Bow. The overseer produced the poor-rate 'cooks, and prayed that the claimant had been duly rated, and that the rates Lad been paid. The assessor of the Y,ing's taxes was not - cal!ed by either party. TOSINQUET stated his rmoevis for holding the claim valid.—Vote allowed. Dr. Moore. and several other Prebendaries, were ob jected to on the ground of non-residence for the last six months previous to the 31st of July. It was admitted that he lived elsewhere, but he bad left his furniture in the house. Mr. Wilkinson submitted that this was not a residence within the meaning of the:Act. Mr. BOSANQUET considered it a sufficient residence, the house being kept ready for the reception of the family. Vote allowed. The whole of the names of the Prebendaries were then retained, the objections being nearly similar, and over ruled. TI-1141 SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1,1835. she became a termagant, and abused him, and had recently taken out proceedings against him for the debt in the Court of Requests. Since the prisoner's first examination before the magistrates it has been ascertained that the old woman had preferred the charge of bigamy against him solely with the view of having him taken into custody, so that when he was liberated he might be arrested upon a process issued against him at her suit from the Court of Requests, he having previously kept out of the jurisdiction of that Court. Yesterday having been appointed for his re examination on the charge of bigamy, and no prosecutor ap pearing, the magistrates were informed that two bailiffs were waiting ,t the door to make a capture of Allen the moment he was liberated. Mr. JEREMY, upon,being made acquainted with the fact, directed the bailiffs to be called in before him, and, address ing them, said that the woman Burgin had evidently made a criminal charge against the accused for the mere purpose of insuring his being arrested by the bailiffs, who were then ready to pounce upon him. The bailiffs at once admitted that they attended at the office for the purpose above-mentioned, upon which Mr. JEREMY severely commented upon the conduct of the woman in bringing so serious a charge against a man, and having him incarcerated as a criminal, with a view to serve her own purpose and have him arrested. The Magistrate then desired the bailiffs at their peril to take the accused, remarking at the same time that while within the jurisdic tion of that office they would not be justified in arresting him, particularly as the whole proceedings taken against him by the woman who preferred the charge of bigamy wore instituted with the express intention of having him made a prisoner on a civil process, from the Court of Requests. The bailiffs then withdrew from the Court, and Allen succeeded in getting away without being arrested. CURIOUS CLAIM FOR A COUNTY VOTE. The case of two claimants (Messrs. Venn and Hutchin son), who resided in St. Mary, Islington, and the consi deration of whose claim had been reserved from White Con duit House, was decided at the commencement of this day's proceedings. It appeared that Messrs. Venn and Hutchinson claimed in respect of two freehold fields detached from their houses, but in their own occupation. They were objected to on the ground that the lands, being occupied with houses within the borough, could not give a direct qualification, though the houses themselves were above 10/. in value. Mr. MARTIN said that the intention of the Act was only to exclude persons from voting in respect of freehold land which actually confers a franchise for a borough, which is not the case where the value of the house is of itself suffi cient. It was intended to prevent the same property in the hands of one person being twice represented—not to de prive a party of his separate votes for two distinct qualifi cations. He should, therefore, retain the names of these two gentlemen on the list. CLAIM OF THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE WEST INDIA DOCKS. -RIGHT OF A BARRISTER TO BE HEARD BEFORE THE REVISING BARRISTERS. Two Directors of the West India Docks (Messrs. Crof tesworth And Hankay) claimed the right of voting as shareholders of the West India Docks. They were ob jected to on the ground that they were members of a Corporation. Mr. MARTIN asked—Does any person appear in support of these claimants ? Mr. M‘Dowgal (a barrister)—Yes, I do.. I have a written authority from one of the persons objected to to ap pear in his behalf. • Mr. MARTIN—I cannot hear you, Mr. M'Dowgal ; you are a member of the Chancery Bar, I think. Mr. M'Dowgal--Yes, I am. But though I admit that the words of the Act direct that these Courts shall not be attended by " Counsel," I contend that I am not pre cluded from appearing here, because I do not necessarily appear as Counsel. Mr. MARTIN-But, Mr. M'Dowgal, I know you to be a member of the Chancery Bar, and unless you mean seri ously to contend that the wearing of the wig and gown alone constitute a barrister, I cannot for a moment listen to you.—(A laugh.) lam willing, hoWever, to hear any evidence, or to receive from you any information on this question. This proposal Mr. M'Dowgal declined, but instructed Mr. Gregory on the point, who proceeded to argue that the lands out of which the Directors claimed were vested in them as Directors, and that they had a freAold interest therein. Mr. MARTIN—I'II just ask you one question, Mr. Gre gory. How is this property transmitted—by conveyance ? Mr. Gregory—No. Mr. MARTIN—Then it is transmitted by succession, and that is conclusive as to the incorporation of this'Company. I need scarcely add that by a clear provision of the law members of a Corporation cannot claim out of corporate property. I feel bound to make this remark also upon this case, that i dle claim does not appear to me to have had the shadow of a shade of reason to rest upon. At the close of the day the numbers in Mr. Martin's Court were as follow : • ST. PAUL, SHAUWELL.—Tories, 12 ; sustained, 3 ; Oveseers, 5 ; sustained, 5. ST. MARY, STRATFORD-LE-BOW.—Torks, S ; .sustained, 1 ; Overseers, 13 ; sustained, 12. - ALL SAINTS, PorLAß.—Tories, 20 ; sustained, 2 ; Overseers, 22 ; sustained, 12 ; adjourned, 1. KENT (EAST.) CANTERBURY-WEDNESDAY. BEFORE MESSRS. HOLLIST AND GURNEY. Wednesday morning, the Revising Barristers for the Eastern Division of the county of Kent, presided together at the Guildhall in consequence of the arrival of Messrs. BOSANQUET and RYLARD, the Barristers appointed to re vise the lists for the city of Canterbury. Thomas Wanstall, of Eddington, was objected to, on the ground that be was not possessed of freehold property of the annual value of 40s. It appeared that the claimant was entitled to afifth share of seven cottages at Eddington, which had been bequeathed to him and his four brothers, and yielded an income of 401. per annum. He had claimed for a " freehold house." One of the brothers was insolvent, and had transferred his property to trustees. Mr. GURNEY said, although the claimant was entitled to the fifth part of the produce of each house, he could not claim for any one of them until the property had been le gally divided.—Name expunged. The claims of the parish clerks of Littlebourne and Pel ham were expunged, and that of Hoath retained. Thomas Head, residing in St. John's Hospital, Hacking ston, claimed to vote for freehold land, known as Brother hood Farm, which is attached to it. George Austen Prior proved that he (Head) derived 81. per year from the freehold, in addition to 1/. as. which he considered the wood was worth that was annually dis tributed to the brothers. The claim was allowed. After the disposal of a few cases ofno interest, the Court broke up, and the Revising Barristers for the county pro ceeded on their way to Ramsgate. TILE CITY OF CANTERBURY. Yesterday A. RYLAND, Esq., and S. R. BOSANQUET, Esq., the Barristers appointed to revise the list of voters 'for the city of Canterbury, opened their Court at the Town Hall, which was crowded to excess, the most lively interest and the deepest anxiety existing amongst the citi zens as to the result of the registration. At the last elec tion a contest took place for the representing this city : a petition was presented against the return of S. Lushing ton, Esq., *but be was dec►ared duly elected. The majo rity, however, was small, and ever since then both parties have been using every exertion'to strengthen their ranks— nearly 600 persons have been objected to, out of which about 120 are freemen. (Before Mr. RYLAND.) The Learned Barrister was occupied the whole of the day in hearing the cases of the freemen who had been ob jected to i but no case of interest transpired. Several were objected to, 44 the ground of having received pare relief. (Before Mr. BosANoupv.) THE PREEEIIO4AJES OF CANTERBURY c#74Emup. Dr.. J Evelyn Boseawen, pne of the Prebendaries of Canterbury Cathedral (who had been declared entitled to a vote f..2r the county) now claimed to be registered as an elector for the c:`;; right of a freehold house attaphed to his prebendal stall. Mr. Wilkinson opposed the registration, and examined Dr. Russell, who appeared on behalf of DA Boscawen, EAST SURREY-HUNDRED OF WALLINGTON, CROYDON-BEFORE MR. KNOX. The Revising Barristers for the above division of the county was opened in the Court at Croydon yesterday morning. Mr. Bedford made a claim as trustee of a public school, situated in - Croydon, Wright of certain freehold property, of a yearly value of 1001. and upwards. Mr. Knox said that the deed which was produced hav ing given the whole value to the use of the trustees, and there being no endowment to the schoolmaster or, others to reduce the value of the property,' he must allow the claim, which gave 15 votes to the liberal party, Mr. Battersbee claimed as a 501. tenant at will, but was objected to as having sublet his house so as not to have the portion in his own occupation of anything like the value of 501. Mr. KNOX said that the Judges had decided in the case of a man taking several parcels of land, and letting out a portion of them, that occupation was thus established. As the object of the Reform Bill was to extend, not to limit the feanollige, ho should in this as well as in any other casos where there was a doubt, retain the name on the list. Mr. Bisb, M.P., was objected to on the ground of the place from which he claimed being No. 4, Cornhill, whereas his residence was No. 8 ; but as. notice of the objection had not been given, the name was retained. James Hoare wag obj ected to on the ground that he claimed nut of a 50/. property, held under two different landlords, and that he did not therefore in the words of the Act pay a rent of 501. The Barrister overruled the objection, as being merely grammatical, He would take that opportunity of stating, that an Act of Parliament would bp introduced next ses. pion to adjust and fix these provisions of the Reform Act upon which the Revising Barristers have come to conflict ing decisions. BEFORE MR. LENNARD. Michael Edward Fell, who claimed for a freehold house, Park-lane, Mitcham, was, objected to, on the ground of his having (as it was alleged) let the property during the last twelve months. But as it could not be proved that there was any interruption of tenantcy, the vote was al lowed, Mr. Lennard laying it down that a mere permissive occupation was no disqualification. ARUNDEL, Sr.rr. 29. The revision of votes for this district of West Sussex com menced to-day before Mr. BULLOCKE and Mr. TYNDALE. Mr. Charles Murray, of Midhurst, and Mr. James Beau ment, of London, appeared for the West, Sussex ,Conser vative Association ; and Messrs. Whitter, Dennett, French, and Powell on the opposite side. The result of the day's revision was as follows :--- ' Conservative objections, 19 ; sustained, 10 ; postponed, 2 ; failed, 7. Liberal objections, 15 ; sustained, 6 ; post. poned, 1 ; failed, 8. FATAL STAGE-COACH ACCIDENT Yesterday an inquest was held in the Board-room of St George's Hospital, Hyde Park-corner, before Mr. Higgs, on view of the body of Mrs. Eliza Vasey. aged 50, a respec table married female, whose death was caused by the upset ting of the Telegraph Worcester coach, under the following circumstances : The calamity was not solely confined to the death of the unfortunate lady, the coachman and several other passengers being more or less injured ; one female having been removed with the deceased to the above institution, where she re mained some days, and then was removed to her own resi dence. On the arrival of the Coroner, the Beadle banded him a medical certificate from Mr. PastOr, a surgeon, resid ing at Oxford, stating that Fossey the coachman was so se verely injured (several of his ribs having been fractured) that he was unable to take a journey to give evidence at the inquest on the deceased.—Mr. Charles Hawkins, house-surgeon to the hospital, deposed that the deceased was admitted on the 31 of last August, with a severe lacerated injury on the left node ; she received every proper attention, but notwithstanding amputation of the limb was deemed indispensably requisite as the only hope of preserving life ; the operation, however, proved too much for her constitution, and she rapidly sunk, and died on Sunday last.—Joseph Collett, the guard to the coach, deposed that they left the Bull and Mouth Inn about six o'clock on the evening of the 3d of August ; there were eleven outside and four inside passengers, exclusive of Wit ness and the coachman ; there was a quantity of luggage on the roof of the coach, which reached to the height of the passengers' heads;. the coach proceeded at the usual rate until it arrived at Hanwell, in Middlesex, where the axle tree broke, the result of which was that the near fore wheel came off, and the coach fell over on the near-side ; the whole of the passengers were precipitated into the road ; witness escaped with a few slight contusions ; the deceased and other injured parties were removed into the Coach and Horses, nearly opposite to where the accident happened, and three surgeons promptly attended, and having rendered every assistance, the deceased and another female were re moved the same night to this Hospital ; Fossey, the coach man, had several ribs broken, and received other severe in juries ; when the coach overturned, the deceased was sitting behind the coachman. The husband of the deceased, a re spectable middle-aged man, who was present and appeared ,deeply affeAed, was asked if he bad any questions to put to the witness, who replied in the negative. The Jury re turned a verdict of Accidental Death—deodand Is. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Charles Goodlad, a vender of water-cresses, who, on the . „ night of Monday week last, was charged at this office with the wilful murder of his wife, Sarah Goodlad, aged 65, was brought up from the New Prison, Clerkenwell, yesterday, and placed at the bar for re-examination. A Coroner's Inquest was on Wednesday last held on the body of the deceased, when, the parish surgeon refusing to make a post mortem examination without being paid for it, the Jury returned a verdict "that the deceased died of inflammation of the lungs, caused by a broken rib." Mary Ann Goodlaa, - aged 21, the prisoner's daughter, resided with the deceased and the prisoner, at No. 2, Smith's-buildings, Bell-street, Lisson-grove. On the night of Thursday, the 10th of September, she returned home, and, on going into the parlour, found her mother, who was sitting on the bed, and the prisoner quarrelling. Prisoner desired deceased to go to bed, in reply to whi c h s h e sa id, " No, you old ,1 won't." The prisoner then took 'up a half quartern loaf from off the table and threw it at her, and it struck her in tbq sign. The deceased .did not com plain till she went to bed, when she said to witness, who slept with her that night, " I think he has broken my ribs." In the morning the prisoner, who had sat in a chair all night, went out as usual, and after breakfast deceased went to the dispensary, where she was told that one o f h er r ib s was bro ken. She returned home; and the next day took to her bed, where she lingered till Saturday, the 19th, when she expired, a few minutes previous to which she called the pri soner to the bedside, and, offering her hand, said she for gave him for what he had done. Rachael Read, the wife of a •shoemaker, No. 36, Bell street, saw the deceased on her return from the dispen sary, when she said, " That old villain has killed me at last—he has broken my ribs." Witness saw her no more alive. _ _ Mr. RAwoNsoN asked the prisoner if he had any-thing to say ? Prisoner--Nothing. Mr. R AwL iNsoN— Then you are fully committed to Newgate fnr trial ; but I tell you that, happily, it will not affect your life. The prisoner, who seemed very dejected, was then re moved to the lock-up. UNION- HALL. Yesterday Thomas Pearson was brought before Mr. Je remy, charged with obtaining money by repr esen ti ng him self to be an officer of this establishment. The prisoner denied that he had represented himself as an officer, and said that he demanded a shilling of the old man for going about and making inquiries for him. The prisoner was then committed. An aged man, named Allen, was examined a few days ago at this Office on a charge of bigamy, preferred against him by an old woman, to whom ho was married nearly 40 years ago, and from- whom he had been for some conside rable time separated. When they were married prisoner had another wife, and the complainant had another husband alive, and both par ties were aware of the circumstance ; yet, in defi ance o f the law, they becarae . plan arid vyife. 'pie prisoner, how ever, and the complainant 'led an unhappy life, and they at length separated by mutual consent, hp promising to make ber wpekly all9w4pco for her support . was in the habit of calling upon him of lat.b`and trying to get money from him, and upon these occasions, if he refused, FRENCH PAPERS. (From Galignani'a lifesssenger.) Lord Granville had a long conference yesterday with the Duke de Broglie, at the Hotel of the Minister for Foreign /Mira. The Moniteur du Commerce states that " letters from Modena announce the arrival of Don Miguel in that city, and that the Portuguese Consul at Genoa had received or ders from his Government to demand his passports. The same letters announce that the Pretender to the Throne of Pcirtugal appeared to be making preparations for an expe dition. The Indicaleur of Bordeaux of the 26th inst. has the following :—" A conspiracy has recently been discovered at Sebastian, through the vigilance of the Colonel of the Regiment of Jaen. The Governor of the citadel and t,'.10 Commander of the Regiment of Oviedo have been. trrested. They were the only military men , engaged in the plot, and the garrison as well as the majority of the inhabitants arc indignant at their treachery. Their ohjeot was to deliver up the place, which, since the expedition to Bilboa, has been deprived of the largest portion of its garrison, i n t o th e hands of tbo Carlists. Cordova is marching against the Carlists, who have drawn near Bilboa." The &nanolle des P,yrenivs of Bayonne of the 24th inst. has the following of the 22d from the Spanish frontier : This morning several balls were fired from the two pieces of cannon placed at the inarotto of Behobia against the three houses occupied by tho Carlists, who returned a shower of balls upon our territory." PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. EILBOA, SEPT. 22. Since the departure of General Alava, on Saturday last, for Madrid, little of importance has occurred in the British Auxiliary Legion. It is now divided into four brigades, viz. The English Brigade, consisting of the Rifle Corps, the 6th Regiment, and the 9th (Munster) Regiment, under the command of Brigadier-General Reid. • The Ist Brigade, consisting of the Ist Regiment of In fantry, the 3d Regiment of Grenadiers, and the 7th (Irish) Light Infantry, under the command of Brigadier-General de Lacy Evans. The 2d Brigade, consisting of the 2d Re g iment and the Bth ( Highland) Regime n t, un d er th e command of Brigadier- General Chichester. The 3d Brigade, consisting of the sth (Highland) Regi ment and the 9th (Irish) Regiment, under the command of Colonel Charles Shaw. When the whole of the troops shall have arrived, one or two other brigades may be formed. The artillery and cavalry have not yet reached this city. The Carlists continue in this neighbourhood. Don Car los was, at noon on Saturday, at Ochandiano, with one bat talion of Guides, and was going on Sunday to Durango. The Biscayan rebels were on Sunday at Zornosa, and said to be about to move, but not known whither. The Carlist battalions of Navarre, Guipuscoa, and Alava, as well as those under Cuevillas, to the number of 14, with 400 cavalry, arc stated to have been on Saturday at Quincocez, coming from Espeja as if with an intention to attack Espe leta's division a second time, but he now proceeds with more caution. That division spent Friday night at Villasanta. The column under Castaneda was about to move towards the valley of Mena. Cordova, with the greater part of the Queen's army, remain at Puente Lai% on the Ebro. The Carlists are stated here to have lost much courage since the arrival of the British legion, and the defeat of the column on the frontier of Catalonia. The change of Mi nistry at Madrid is also considered favourable to the cause of the Queen, for much confidence appears to be put in the integrity of General Alava, and in the abilities of aenor Mendizabel. There are daily desertions from the (arlists to this town. Yesterday eight more came over, and in the evening more. I saw two this morning, who assured me that the greater part of the Carlists, who have been forced to enter the ranks, are only anxious for an opportunity to return with safety to their homes—an opportunity which the presence of the British troops insures to many of them. There are also several corps of volunteers who have offered their ser vices to fight under the command of the British Generals. General Evans, like many of the officers, has been during four days slightly indisposed. The change of climate and the damp weather account easily for the indisposition. He wail, however, on Sunday afternoon sufficiently recovered to be able to make a military promenade . on the tops of the mountains and hills immediately to the north of the town. There are several vessels of war now cruising on the coast to intercept the ships coming with ammunition and volun teers to Don Carlos. The Spanish Admiral, Chacen, who has several vessels of war and gun-boats under his orders, is much talked of for not preparing an expedition' and taking possession of Bormeo, a small port now in the pos session of the Carlists, and within seven leagues by land of this town. But this old Admiral, who has never shown . much enterprise, is rather a weight upon the proceedings of the Queen's troops than an advantage. His removal, and the appointment of a bold daring young sailor, would be productive of much benefit. TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 22. The mail having been delayed for four hours, I have an opportunity of stating, that on Sunday last three soldiers of the British Legion, who had been taken prisoners by the Carlists, were shot at Zornoza. The six musicians, who were also taken, are in prison, as not having been taken with arms in their hands. One of the lads belonging to those musicians has been made bugler to General Maroto. The Water Witch has arrived, and brought intelligence of a steam-boat and another vessel of war being about to come in to strengthen the squadron here. A few Carlists have been seen on the hills in the neigh bourhood, but no force of consequence has appeared. The country people appear anxious to give supplies to the legion. Various offers have been made to M. Faxardo, the Commissary-General, of meat and other provisions. The certainty of being treated with justice and kindness by the British chiefs has already gained the good-wii of many. BRITISH''AUXILIARY LEGION.

It is not supposed that he will be admitted to take part in the conferences, or even allowed to enter the town, as none of the Sovereigns has sent ; him an invitation, or re cognized him as King of Portugal. The public mind in Italy is much interested in the proceedings of the Congress, as some assert that not only the affairs of Spain and Por tugall will occupy the attention of the Sovereigns, but that those of Italy will also be brought on the tapis. It is added that his Holiness intends sending a Representative to the Congress, but this statement' is very improbable. " LEGHORN, SEPT. 18. " The cholera has greatly diminished here, particularly it) the central parts. The disease has spread towards the north-west, and subsequently to the south-east. In the latter direction it h a s ravaged Montenovo and Rosignano, 18 miles from this city. The communications with the rest of Tuscany are free, although the disease has not extended so far as Pisa. It spared no class nor sex in this place ; however, its ravages were principally amongst the poorer portions of the population, singling out comparatively few victims in the large and freely ventilated parts of the town. The states adjoining Tuscany have adopted a most rigorous system of exclusion with regard to us. It is now almost impossible to travel in Italy. The steam-boats no long* touch here. The navigation at Civita Vecchia is conse quently more active, but the most abundant objects of im portation consist of monks and religious persons from Spain. " The following is a comparative statement of the num ber of deaths from cholera in this city ;—Sept. 4, new cases, 70 ; deaths, 68—Sept. 17, new cases, 33 ; deaths, 15." . DINNER TO MR. WILLIAM WIL LIAMS, M.P. FOR COVENTRY. A public dinner was given last Monday to, Mr. Williams in St. Mary's Hall, Coventry, qt which wowards of three hundred gentl emen were present. 12 1 , 3vious to the dinner, Mr. Williams addressed the people f:com the balcony of the Half Moon Inn. After allud'-ng to the mutilatiot) made by the House of Lords in the Municipal Reform Bill, he said that Sir Robert Pei 'ooasted of bringing forward a measure to reform tho r::nurch of England. What was it 2 Why, forsooth, ilat the tithe-receiver and the tithe payer should. meet and agree in which way the amount should he paid.—(Laughter.) Would the Dissenters be satisfied with this ?--(No, no.) Another of Sir Robert's extensive reforms was that of the Dissenters' Marriage Act, in which he proposed that the Dissenters should make mar riage a civil contract ; that they should first go before a cagis!trate, and the n go an d b e marr i e d according to the ~;rrns of their respective churches. The Church people, however, had no occasion to go before a magistrate, and there was therefore still a distinction made between them, and where there was a distinction there would be a slur cast upon one party. 'The present Ministry brought for ward many important measures, but owing to the opposi tion of the House of Lords they have not been enabled to carry them. This state of things could not go on beyond another session. It was useless for people to send repre sentatives to Parliament if their acts were to be rendered nugatory by a handful of Peers. It is notorious that many of them have not a penny except what they receive from the people through the taxes. There is one of them, the prime mover of the amendments in the Corporation Bill— one, who at one time would have put even the Radicals to the blush in _his advocacy of Radical principles, who could not, were he called upon to do so, qualify himself under his own qualification clause for one of the council of the city of Coventry, were it not for the taxes.—(Cheers.) Mr. Williams concluded his speech amidst great applause from the assembled crowd, which jvas calculated to amount to 3,000 persons. The dinner passed off with much conviviality, and seve ral excellent speeches were made by Messrs. Hadley and Edmunds (of Birmingham), Mr. Hands (the Chairman), and other gentlemen.

Our express left the heath immediately after the Hopeful Stakes, and before it was declared to be a false start, in con sequence of the jockies having started without waiting for the signal from the starter. A second race took place for it, sto 4 being offered agst Sister to Nonsense, and 4 to 1 agst The Athenian; Colonel Peel declared' to win with Sister to Non sense. The second start was effectual, without any change in the result. Sister to Nonsense took the lead at a good pace, Alfred, Partner, the Royal Oak colt, and The Athenian lying well up till near the bushes, where he tired ; Alfred now went up and at the cords was abreast of the mare, at the same time looking so well that Pavis joined them with the Royal Oak colt, so as to be ready to tackle him in case the mare failed ; this, however, did not occur, although the finish was so close that the Judge decided it in her favour by a head only ; the Royal Oak colt was not beaten more than a neck, and Partner barely half a length ; Glaucus was beaten off three or four lengths, and King Lear twice that distance. It is worthy of remark that, but for the declaration to win with the filly, Part ner could have won the first race and the Royal Oak colt the second. The following race was decided after our account left 100, h. ft. Half mile.—Colonel Peel's Swallow, 7st. (Pavis), beat Sir M. Wood's The Glauca, Bst. 101 h., Betting-6 to 4on the Glama, and 4tol in running. Won by a length. Grand Duke Michael Stakes.—Albania made running at her best pace till near the bushes, where Ibrahim and Oak Apple came out ; the mare, however, lived only a f ew str id es, and Ibrahim won easily by f our lengths. Buckenharn Stakes.—Wish made play to the bushes, where Zenana (the Fille de Joie filly) challenged, and, after a midd ling race, won by half a length. • Amongst the arrivals arc the Duke of Portland, Duke of Rutland, Duke of Grafton, Marquis of Exeter, Marquis of Tavistock, Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, Earl of Albe marle, Earl of Jersey, Lord G. H. Bentinck, Lord W. Paw lett, Lord Villiers, Lord S. Osborne, Hon. General Grosvenor, Sir M. Wood, Sir L. Glynn, Hon. - B. Craven, Colonel and Lady Alice Peel, Messrs. C. Greville, C.

Craven, and Mr. Irby. A DEARLY-BOUGHT FANCY.—Tradition speaks highly of the splendour of this mansion (Modbury, Corn wall) and of the magnificent manner in which the Cham pernounes lived, and particularly of their keeping a very fine band of musicians, which band, if report may be credited, was the occasion of the family's ruin : for that Mr. Cham pernoune, taking it on the Thames, in the time of Queen Elizabeth, her Majesty was so delighted with the music that she requested a loan of it for a month ; to which Mr. Champernoune, aware of the improbability of its ever re turning, would not consent, saying, " that he hoped her Majesty would allow him to keep his fancy." The Queen was so highly exasperated at this refusal, that she fimnd some pretence to sue him at law, and ruin him, by obliging him in the course of the proceedings, to sell n o f ewer t h an 18 manors.—B ur k e ' s History of th Commoners. MACKEREL.—MackercI were first allowed to be cried through the streets of London on a Sunday in 1698 ; and the practice prevails to the present time. In May, 1807, the first Brighton boat of macketel sold at Billings gate for forty guineas per hundred, 7s. each, reckoning six score to the hundred ; the highest price ever known at this market. The next boat load produced but 13 guineas per hundred. Mackerel was so plentiful at Dover, 1808, that they were sold 60 for a shilling. The succe ss o f th e fi s h ery in 1821 w as b eyon d a ll precednt. The value of the catch of 16 boats from Lowestoffe, June 30, amounted to 5,252/. ; and it is supposed that there was no less in amount than 14,0001. altogether realized by the owners and men con cerned in the fishery of the Suffolk coast. In March, 1833, on a Sunday, four Hastings boats brought on shore. 10,800 mackerel ; and the next day two boats brought 7,000 fish. Early in the month of February, 1834, one boat's crew from Hastings deared 100/. by the fish caught in one night and a large quantity of very fine mackerel anopted in the Londpn market in the second week o,f the Same month. They were cried through the stroots of Lon don three for a shilling on the 14tH and 2-2 d of March, 1834, and had then been plentiful P IT a month. The boats engaged in fishing ATO . nsually attended by other fast -sailing Y?aSelß % whioh are sent away with the fish taken. From some situations, these vessels sail away direct for the Lon don market ; at others, they make for the nearest point ' from which they can obtain land carriage for their fish, Yuma's History of British Fishef.
