SHROPSHIRE CENTRAL AGRICUL- TURAL ASSOCIATION. On Saturday last the Members of The Central and Ge neral Agricultural Association for Shropshire held their an nivercary dinner at the - Lion Inn, Shrewsbury. The Eall of Darlington, as President of the Society, took the Chair, and the Hon. R. H. Clive, M.P., and. W. 0. Gore, Esq., M.P., officiated a/ Vice-Presidents. After the customary toasts, the Noble Chairman said that, as President of their Association, he felt it his, duty to state his opinions as to the aspect of the times with respect to agriculture.— (Cheers.) As to the extent of the distress, there was very little difference of opinion among them ; but as to the cause and remedy there was much. Did he not think that Par-. liament had the power of in some degree relieving the dis tress of the farmer he should not now address them. He disagreed with those who asserted that the agriculturist must look alone for relief from his present situation. by an improved cultivation of the land, and by an adjustment of rent between himself and the landlord. He appeared be fore them as a Member of Parliament ; and first let him ask, what it was that the farmers most complained of? He believed they would_ all agree that it was the " low prices of produce."—(Hear, hear.) And, that being the evil, in order to remedy it they must have recourse either to some mode of raising the prices, or reducing the costs of production.—(Cheers.) He would begin by a conside ration of the latter remedy. The first and most material item, perhaps, in the farmers' expenses was rent. With re spect to those rents which were enhanced during the war, they had, generally speaking,been reduced from 30 to 40 per cent.; though certainly this was not the case as regarded all. If the landlord, however, were to be called upon continually to reduce his rents, he would shortly have none left at. all. Next came tradesmen's bills, machinery, .and implements. 'there had been very little diminution sink the war in these, nor did he see much prospect of their being further reduced. With respect to the costs of ‘laborir,-be had no dotibt but that the Poor Law Amendment Bill would ul timately prove very beneficial in this respect to the farmer, but it would of course be gradual. , The main feature of the Bill was to make the labourers support themselves and fami lies by their own industry, but in order to do that their wages must not be diminished, but rather increased. — (Hear.) He now came to the consideration of 'other bur thens, such as county rates, highway rates, poor's rates, and tithes. Of the latter he would only say that he was anxious for a commutation ; •but still the benefit in a pecuniary point of view to the farmer would not be very considerable, for the clergymen must still have his stipend. There was - every - reason to believe that Government would effect such an alteration in the county rates as to give some trifling be nefit to the farmer. It could not be much, for the county rates throughout the kingdom did not average more than 4d. in the pound on rent, and if all were to be taken off it would'be but as a drop in the ocean.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The highway rate certainly pressed very heavily, and he' believed the farmer would find himself much benefited by being relieved from a greater part of statute duty.— . (Hear, hear, hear.) As to poor rates, he thought it would be far better to make it a State tax, rather than a local .one ; but there was no hope of such an alteration being effected, unless it were introduced by Government, and he did net see much prospect of that being done. It was said by some that the fall in prides was caused by the sudden transition from war to peace. That certainly might have accounted for it in the first yea r of p eace ; but not in the twentyrfirst.—(Hear, hear.) The war virtually ended in 1814: The years 1817 and 1818 were years of as great prosperity as the farmer perhaps "ever knew or could expect to know. In 1819, what was called Peel's Bill was passed, having for its object the curtailment of the currency- Immediately prices fell, and continued to fall, until 1822, at which period the farmer suffered more than at any former or subsequent tune.—(Hear, hear.) " The distress, indeed, was universal ; it rang in the cars of • Parliament, and .the Government at length took up the subject, and by a forced issue of four millions from the Bank. quickened the circulation. All pric - es immediately rose, and in 1824 and 1825 agriculture was flourishing After this, they went up and down till 1830, with no great . complaint from the agriculturists, but ever since that time things have been getting much worse, the reason of which was, that the latter - part of -Peel's Bill, prohibiting the issue cf country bank notes, took effect in 1829, and pro- Eluced, the effects now unhappily so apparent, to all. He would take that opportunity of correcting a mis-statement which had been made in both the Shrewsbury papers, with reference to what he said at Bridgnorth. I3e was re ported to have said that he wished the currency to be placed on the same footing as it was in 1815—that was, an issue of Bank notes without any responsibility. Now, no person could deprecate that system more than him. self. What he wanted was,-that there should be an al teration in the standard, instead orbeing compelled to abide by a gold standard only, and that too at a fixed and .arbitrary price, even though it should end in utter ruin.— (Cheers.) Ile wanted an alteration of the standard from gold to silver, which he believed Would be productive of the best results. He would listen to no other basis for our cur rency than a metallic one.: There was one other point to -which he wished to allude before he sat down. The prin cipal distress was amour* the small farmers—men who had - but 1 ttlp capital, and who were ,often compelled to take their produce to market at the most unseasonable time of the year. Now this of course operated most injuriously. The time at which there was the greatest,glut of corn was between harvest and Christmas, and he thought it would he a great relief to the small farmer if the landlord ;would ascertain the amount be wanted to raise by takin g his stock into the market, and instead of suffering him to do so, place so much to his credit, until a suitable season, when h 6 could take his grain to market, and obtain a better price. His Lordship sat down amid loud cheers. Several other Gentlemen addressed the meeting in the course of the evening, The Chairman left about ten o'clock, and the company immediately after broke up. GERMAN PAPERS• NAPLES, OCT. 24.—The variations in the temperature which have been observed this year were at no time 20 sensi ble as in the month of October. On the 9th, the mercury in Reaumur's thermometer was at 21 deg., 5 m. ; on the - 16th, it had fallen to 7 deg. ; on the 18th, to 3 deg., when the summit of Vesuvius was sprinkled with snow, and the mountains of Avella completely covered. This is very ex traordinary for our climate. , The day before yesterday the mercury rose again to 16 degrees and a half.—Journal of the Two SiciLies, Oct. 24. HUNGARY, OCT. 31.—A resolution just published in "the whole kingdom, announces that a period of two months, commencing on the 29th, has been granted to the Diet, to conclude its labours. This resolution is ascribed to the in fluence of the Archduke Palatine, who is universally beloved by Hungary. On, the day- before yesterday His Royal Highness convoked. a sitting of the two Chambers united, at which he communicated two royal resolutions, one rela tive to the proposal of the Estates for the introduction of the Hugarian language in all judicial proceeding ; the se cond to the preceding proposals of the States respecting tie law for the incorporation of the peasants. In. the latter resolution, the King granted the above prorogation of the Diet for two months. VIENNA, Nov. 4.—His Majesty the Emperor addressed to the Princess Dowager of Schwarzenburg the following letter from Toplitz, dated Oct. '2 " Dear Princess Schwarzenburg,—Among the many glo rious deeds which rendered the year 1813 especially memo rable, the combat victoriously sustained by the Russian Guards the day before the battle of Kielm, deserves an honourable place. In commemoration of that glorious and important victory I have ordered a irronument to be erected near Prieston, the first stone of which was laid by me, the Emperor of Russia, and the King of Prussia, on the 29th September, this year. In memory of this interesting victory I have had a medal struck, which I send you with this letter. I wish thereby to do honour, even in the tomb, to the Commander-in- Chief of the allied armies, who can justly claim a share in the glory of every victory gained by the troops under his command. , May this monument give you a proof that the great merits of the late Field-Marshal will never be effaced from my grateful recollection, (Signed) ' ' " FERDINAND." FRANKFORT, NOV. Ll.—Our senator, M. Bansa, re turned last night from Berlin.—Frankfort Paper, Nov. 11. SERES IN MACEDONIA, OCT. 16.—Within these few days a numerous band of coiners has been discovered here, in consequence of which many persons have been arrested, in which however many innocent persons are included; as every body who found offering a piece of lead coin was immediately taken up. It is thought that this band, the chief seat of which is at Malenico, has manufactured and put into circulation gold and silver pieces, current at five piastres, to the amount of a million. Our Metropolitan Gregory is summoned to Conitanti nople, where the dignity of Greek Patriarch is intended for hint. It is said that the late Patriarch owes his deposition to parV intrigues, in which some think Princh Milosch was concerned, which others however deny. MUNICH, Nov. 9.—The departure of his Majesty for Greece is fixed as we hear for the 21st, before which day it is hoped to receive news from Rome, and a decision for the removal of the obstacles which the quarantine in the Po, on account of the cholera, throws in the way of travels lers. This is the more confidently expected, a's the places through which his Majesty will have to pass have not been visited by the cholera. His Majesty will be ac- OE; JPeompanied by his Excellency Baron De Gumpenberg, a the Intendant of the Household, by Count Paumgartin, Visdhig 'Aide-de-Camp ; Privy Counsellor Von Wenzel, his physician ; Professor Gartner, architect ; and M. Farn bacher, Secretary. At Ancona there 'is an English fri gate turd a steam boat which are placed at his Majesty's disposal, who as we hear will go down next to Corinth. On the East side of the Isthmus he will find another steam boat to convey him to the Pireus, where his Majesty will land about the beginning of December. We remember that the King when be was Crown Prince bad resolved to see Greece, the land of his ideals and of_his wishes. In 1818. every thing was prepared for the journey from Rome, when the Prince obeying the summons of the Kinghis father, hastened back to Mumch to be present at the completion ad sanction of the Constitution which had been just then drawn up. The events of the last eighteen years have in their rapid course changed every thing in that country also, and King Louis will now find his second son reigning over the classic fields of Greece, which he would then have found under the Turkish yoke.—Supplement to Allgenteine Zei tung,Nov..ll.

And upwards of 1,000 of the most respectable Agriculturists, Mer 7 chants, and inhabitants of the county and town of Cambridge. It was proposed by William Thurnall, Esq., and seconded by R. J. Eaton, Esq., M.P., that Christopher Pemberton, Esq., take the Chair ; which was unanimously agreed to. After some discussion as to the expediency of having a Railway, it was . moved by the Rev. George Jenyns, and seconded by Edward Ball, Esq., Resolved,—lst, That this meeting is impressed with the strong conviction, that unless the County of Cambridge and Isle of Ely are placed on an equality with the other parts of the Island where Railways are now in progress of formation, the Agriculturists of this County and Isle of Ely, and the inhabitants of the town of Cambridge, will not be able to compete, in celerity of transport and cheapness of price, with those parts which will in a very short time have the advantage of a Railway communication. The . Master of Downing College (Mr. Sergeant Frere) then moved the 'second resolution, which was seconded by William Thurnall, Esq., 2d. That the line of Railway most advantageous to this county and town, is that proposed by James Walker, Esq., proceeding from London to Cambridge and York ; and from Cambridge to Norwich and Yarmouth. To this resolution an amend ment was moved by Samuel Wells, Esq., and seconded by the Rev. George Jenyns, to the effect — That, in the opinion of this meeting, it was the interest' of the public to support the line proposed by Mr. Gibbs. Mr. Walker was then called on to explain his line ; and Mr. Gibbs was also called on to explain the line proposed Whim; which they did at considerable length ; and Mr. Rowe oft, the Secretary ' to the Northern and' Eastern Railway Company, and Mr.- Croggon, the Secretary to the Company proposed by Mr. Gibbs, explained the situation and prospects of their respective Companies. A long ' discussion then ensued, when Mr. Wells proposed to withdraw his ' amendment, but it was decided that the amendment should be put ; it was put accordingly, and negatived by a majority of at least 10 to 1. The Resolution in favour of the line of the Northern and East ern Railway Company, as laid down by Mr. Walker, was then put and carried almost unanimouslY. Proposed by R. G. Townley, Esq. M.P., secended by R. J. Eaton, Esq., INI.P. That the thanks of the meeting be given to Christopher Pem berton, Esq., for his able and impartial conduct in the Chair. HARIBURG, OCTOBER 1835.

TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1835. The Journal des Debats of Sunday, which we have received, together with the other Paris papers of the same date, contains another editorial commentary upon the speech delivered by the Emperor of RUSSIA at Warsaw. These repeated attacks upon the policy of the Autocrat arc producing a great sensation in Paris. The Count DE PAHLEN complained of the HE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 17, i 8 misrepresentations of a print presumed to speak the sentiments of the GoVernment, and threatened that un less Ministers satisfied him on the -subject, to reject the newly appointed French Ambassador, just about to proced to the Court of St. Petersburgh. The Duke DE BROGLIE adopted the only course, in his power ; especially as the Debats takes good care to steer clear of the rocks and quicksands which threaten the very being of liberal sentiments. He sent for M. BERTIN DE VAUX ; remonstrated with him ; and concluded by - requesting him to publish a second manifesto of principles, declaring his journal totally unconnected with the Government. This M. BERTIN DE VAUX very properly refused to do ; neither, in fact, could he do it, without being guilty of an untruth. The articles in the. Debats which have given such offence to the agents of Russia, were written at the dictation of a Member of the French Cabinet ; and there are more than two of the French Ministers who would not regret the rejection of M. DE BARANTE by the Imperial Court. Assuredly no explanations will be given by France which shall compromise the dignity of the nation. The KING dare not restrain the popular will with respect to Russia ; and he has the sagacity to perceive that a successful war carried on in conjunction with Great Britain, would firmly establish the now tottering dynasty of Orleans on the throne of France. This conviction—when it has taken deep root in his bosom—will remove all other obstacles to a war with the Autocrat. The Crown — the undisturbed peaceable possession of the Crown, and the unrestrained exercise of the power which be longs to it—are the darling objects of LOUIS PHIL LIPPE'S policy. He raised no arm to cheek the per fidy of Russia when she carried fire and sword into the heart of Poland ; because then he feared to en danger the newly-established monarchy of the French. His extreme caution was mistaken for pusillanimity by Russia ; and hence 'the CZAR, in the presence, too, of his own Consul-General, denounced himself and his kingdom as confederates in treason and rebellion. The King of the FRENCH will not tamely submit to Isuch an outrage. France is prepared to hurl defiance in the teeth of Russia; and there is not a reflecting mind in Europe, which is not convinced that a war with Russia is the only thing that will firmly fix the ORLEANS' dynasty on the throne of France. Thus, private interest on the part of the KING, and a love of liberty on the part of the nation, co-operate in hailing she commencement of a war—which, how ever it may be delayed—is eventually inevitable. France can have no national interest in this matter, which 'is not common to England. France signed the Treaty of Vienna, the first article of which declared Poland an independent kingdom—so did England. France witnessed her power despised, and her independence menaced by the perfidious violation of that treaty—so did England. France was de nounced by the EMPEROR as a hot-bed of treason and rebellion—the penal settlement, of all rebels— so was England. Poland, prostrate and bleeding as she is, raises her lacerated arms in sup plication of French juStice and good faith ; half her prayer is addressed to England. In a word, we are bound by every tie of honour, of good faith, and of sound policy, to make 'common cause with France in preparing the way for the regeneration of Polish independence, and for effecting the permanent triumph of liberal principles in Europe. If ever there was a just war—if ever there was a war undertaken in defence of the rights of mankind—that war will find a parallel in equity in the- war about to ensue between the free Governments of the West and the despotisms of the North of Europe. . It will be a war between liberty and tyranny, truth and perfidy, civilization and barbarism. On the one side will .be -ranked all that ennobles human nature ; on the other all that debases it to a state lower than that of the brute creation. Its termination will be very different from those wars in which England was a party during the greater part of the last half century. Wars were formerly the games of Kings—the only pastimes in which Princes, . Prime Ministers, and Royal cour tezans vouchsafed to take a part. Blood flowed like water ; nations were robbed and - beggared to supply funds for the support of armies ; and when peace was proclaimed, eacfr belligerent State found itself in a worse condition than it was when hostilities were first commenced. But the war with Russia will . be a war, .not of Kings, hut of the people, for the liberties- of -the people. It will be a war of principles . ; not a conflict Of Ministers and Royal mistresses, to be ter minated by ' a genuflexion or an embrace. From NICHOLAS, no terms can be received which shall not proclaim the independent nationality of Poland, and which shall not divest him of the sovereignty of every foot of territory acquired from that kingdom by the in famous alliance of CATHERINE 11. with the Empe ror of AUSTRrA and the King of PRUSSIA — when the Imperial and Royal plunderers, perfidiously parcelled out Poland among them. In restoring the independence of Poland, England . and France will take care not to leave her in a condition to be ever again overrun by hordes of- Cahnuc barbarians. For this purpose her ancient terri tory must be again restored to her. Austria and Prussia must severally relinquish the Grand Duchy .of Posen and Gallicia ; and the Calm= _ hordes, with their Imperial Chief, must be driven back to the re gions which produced them. The dOmestic intelligence contained in the French journals principally relates to the expected trial of FIESCIII and his accomplices. On Saturday the Court of Peers assembled to arrange the preliminaries of the trial, which will be preceded by that of the pri soners of April, now confined in the prison of the Luxemburg. The following account of an extraordi nary.trial for murder, before the. Court of Assizes of the Department of the Seine, on Saturday last, is ex tracted from: the correspondence of a Morning Con temporary. The newspaper accounts of FlEscHl's melo-dra matie bearing, have inspired our French assassins with the ambition of taking him as their model. His al leged sang froid under the examination of his Judges, his philosophic indifference to the doom that awaits him, his cool superiority over his part ners in 'crime, have all been evinced in a trial with which the Court of Assizes has for some days been occupied, and which terminated last night, or rather this morning, at half-past one o'clock, with the conviction and condemnation (to death) of the two principal parties accused. • The hero in chief -of this judicial drama, the most re markable, perhaps, that has attracted the . curiosity of the public since the memorable case of LA Rou or ERE, is named LACENAIRE, and the crime which he will shortly expiate on the scaffold,- is the murder of a widow and her son, in addition to a subsequent but fortunately an ineffectual attempt, to commit another assassination on the person of a banker's collecting clets. The criminal, who appeared for the first time at the bar Of the Court on the 12th instant, is thirty five years of age, and neither his language, manners, nor the expression of his features, give the slightest indication of that reckless ferocity which,must be in seperable from the man who, like him, has long earned his dailytread by shedding the blood of his fellow crea tures. His family is respectable, he himself has had the advantage of an excellent and even classical education, quotes Latin authors, and - particularly HORACE, at his fingers' ends ; has travelled as well as studied much ; reasons justly and forcibly on most subjects, and is, in short, a most accomplished and intellectual cut throat. It is certainly a striking moral phenomenon, that the intelligence—the mens divinor of such a being should be unable to, save him from his own diabolical propensities. ,A specimen of LACENAIRE'S sang froid and readineiS of r'eply will be found in a remark which he made to the President of the Court, N'vho for a moment lost sight of the graver charge of murder, and questioned him as to some comparatively insigni: ficant peccadillo, such as forgery or swindling, of which he had been guilty. " You remind me of a surgeon, said LACENAIRE, " who when about to cut off a patient's leg amuses himself by first trimming his corns." The Moniteur of Sunday contains the following official announcements :—The 'Baron de BARANTE is appointed the. KING'S Ambassador at the Court of Ruisia ; the Marquis of RUNIIGNY is named Ambasiador to the Court of Sardinia ; and the Duke of MONTEBELLO, Ambassador to the Hel vetic Confederation; Baron MORTIER, the Count de ST. PRIEST, and the- Count CHARLES DE MORNAY, are . 4 'appointed . Extraordinary Envoys and Plenipotentiaries to the Courts - of Holland, Por tugal, and Sweden. _ M. de LEGRENE and M. de BACOURT are appointed Resident Ministers—the former at the Court of the King of GREECE, the lat ter at Carlsruhe. Count H. de la atocirgroucAuLT is appointed Charge d'Affaires at Darmstadt. M. PAGEOT, French Charge d'Affaires ,at Washington; is recalled. The following is an official.private letter from Madrid, dated 7th November " The public expectation is awakened, waiting for the arrival of the 16th inst., and on which day the Cortes will be assembled. They will be opened by the Queen in person. Various preparations are getting ready, in order to celebrate that day with the greatest joy to all the well-wishers of Spain. No words can express the enthusiasm which pre vails in this capitalliand in the provinces. All are waiting for the meeting of the Cortes, in which the Ministry will have a majority of more than two-thirds. lam assured that _the Queen's speech will be a very important document, and not similar to what Kings say on such an occasion. The Electoral Law will be presented to the Chamber without delay, and Lhave been informed that it is framed in a manner which will give cause for little discussion. M. Mendizabal is using every exertion to get ready for the Ist December 40,000 `men, at least, out of the 100,000 men that have been de creed. There is no recollection of any Minister who has en,- joyed so great a popularity. I may say that almost all the monied men here have put their capitals at his disposal. He has given assurance that, notwithstanding the expenses necessarily incurred for the keeping of so large an army on foot, Spain will not apply for anyilioan within six months at least.- Many persorrs expect that after the meeting of the Cortes, M. Mendizabal will, give up the Presidency of the Council to M. Arguelles, in order to be able to direct the whole of his time to put into practice the many financial operations he has in view. " We are expecting to hear of the junction of General Evans with General Cordova. Two of the English lancers have been sent here with despatches, and were very much admired for their deportment and splendid dress." Letters and papers from Madrid to the Bth inst. have been received. All was then going on favoulably in the Spanish capital. By the latest intelligence from Bayonne, we learn that General EvANs has commenced operations on the offensive at the head of the British legion. The Carlists were greatly distressed. The last calumny which the Tories have thought fit to propagate, namely, that no respectable banker, mer chant, or capitalist, attended at the dinner given the other day to Lord JOHN .RUSSELL at Clifton, will be found triumphantly refuted by a Correspondent, who has addressed a letter to us on the subject, under the signature of " A Merchant of Bristol," wherein he gives the names of not less than eighteen gentlemen, eminent in the neighbourhood for wealth, intelligence, and respectability, who attended the dinner in ques tion ! We are surprised that the Conservative Jour nals should have dared to hazard a lie so easily de tected and exposed. Having 3erved such a long ap prentice Ship to, the trade, they should have known better than to commit themselves in such a bungling, unworkman-like a manner. • DUBLIN, NOV. 14.—Earl Mulgrave has returned from his sporting lodge at the Curragh to the Viceregal lodge. Directions have been received for the reception of Lord Aylmer, the new Coinmander of the Forces, at the Royal hospital, and his Lordship is expected ih the course of next week. . The Earl of Delmore, accompa nied by Miss Lowry, arrived at Castlecoote on Tuesday, from Kingstown. His • Lordship intends only to sojourn a few days, when he will take his departure, for Kings town, owing to the regretted illness of Miss BrOoke. The Bishop of Cork and Cloyne has left Dublin for the Pa lace, Cork. Mr. Justice 'Foi4cris has not left London for Dublin, as has been erroneously announced. Lord and Lady Huntingdon and suite have arrived at Waterford on their way from Lord Carew's to their scat, county Cork. The Rev. H. Hoskins, rector OfFrome St. Quentin curn-Evershot, at his late tithe audit, as well as at that held at Easter, without solicitation, returned to the payers 10 per cent. Notwithstanding the very recent reduction of 17 per cent. in the rental of the farms at Streatlam Castle, belonging to Mr. Bowes, M.P., the further sum of 7- per cent. was generously returned to his tenantry, at • the last audit, in consequence of the continued low prices of agri- cultural produce. BANFF.—TOWN COUNCIL ELECTION.-AftCr the extraordinary exertions and boast of the Tory party at the late Registration Courts, the late, trial of strength is most gratifying to the friends of liberal government. The' , Tories had been preparing for the battle , week s before, in secret, while the Liberals were, as usual, cotifident and supine. The factor of Lord Seafield was early at his post with prepared lists for those holding land under that inte rest, and a voter was actually carried up the Town Council stairs upon another man's back, to tender his vote for the cause of Toryism. But all the " wealth and weight" which they could muster wcs in vain.--4-Aberdeen Herald. AUTHORS IN GERMANY.-It has been calculated that out of a population of 42,000,000 in Germany, there are 12,.500 writers ; or one author to every 3,200 indivi duals. The number of sheets printed has been estimated at 187,000,000 per annum, which gives 47 sheets per head, exclusive of periodical works. The ex-Commissioners of the late Colonial Audit Office (Whitehall -place), receiving pensions of 8001. per annum each, are Sir John Conroy, Sir John Osborne, and the lion. Edmund Byng. The lucrative military appointment of Licutenar Governor of Plymouth, lestOr;:ed at the Horse Guards on Major-General Sir Willoughby Cotton, K.C.H., brother in-law to the Earl of Coventry, is to be held for five years certain. Sir Willoughby has appointed his son, Captain Corbet Cotton, of the 94th foot, to be his Aide-de-Camp. It is stated that between Liverpool and Manchester the traffic on the canal has rather increased than diminished since the railway has been in operation. Last Sunday, after divine service in the Catholic chapel here, upwards of 301., were contributed, in anticipa tion of the great collection which is .to be made next Sun day. We are told that the enthusiasm displayed on the day exceeded all that had been observed on previous oc casions.—Londondery Journal. POOLE'S COMIC SKETCH BOOK.—A new and cheaper edition of this most amusing production is, we ob serve, announced to appear immediately. We know of nci work that presents so much genuine food for mirth and laughter, and we defy the most saturnine reader to take it up without immediately falling upon a Sketch or Recollec tion infallibly calculated to excite his risible faculties. Poole's genius is essentially dramatic—be doats on striking exhibitions, and placing his characters in strong relief—he is a perfect " Paul Pry" in his scrutiny into men's humours, and paint's them with Liston's force and breadth. PACKET STATION--RAILWAYS.—A preparatory, meeting of some City and County Gentlemen has been held at the Commercial Buildings, on the subject of a Packet Station Harbour, and connecting Railway, at which the re lative merits of Valentia, Crookhaven, and Cork Harbour, were di s cussed.--Freeman's Journal. THE FIRST JEW JUROR.—It may be noted, as a novelty, that Mr. Joseph Hess, silversmith, of Lord-street, was the first person of the Jewish persuasion who ever dis charged the duties of a juryman in any of the Courts of' this c ounty ; that gentleman, after being4worn on the Pen tateuch, form►ng one of the grand jury panel at the Kirk dale Quarter Sessions.—Liverpool Albion. CIO . . 3404 4 - ..,:e / V - t , _4t • 4, .„'"' s> • ROLL'S COURT.(THIS• DAY.) STICKNEY V. SEWELL. This case came before the Court upon exception to 'the Master's Report. The bill was filed for the admi nistration of the testator's estates. Under the decree an account had been directed and' a reference made to as certain ivhether certain sums had been advanced on good security. to the defendants Sewel and Wolsley. The tes tator, by his will, gave his executors power- to place out the whole of his personal property, which he directed to be realized, on the security of the Government funds, upon real pro2erry, or' upon personal security. The executors under the power advanced a sum of 3,0001. to the defendants on, the security of certain property, which at that time was valued at 4,5001. The great decrease of the value of property since the war, had affected the property en which the .money was lent in such a degree, as to ren der it insufficient, at the present time, to pay off the mort gage ; and the question seas, whether the executors were or not liable for the difference between the present value of the property and the amount of the mortgage. The Master had decided that the eucutors were liable to make good the difference, on the ground that executors could only invest safely money on mortgage, in the proportion of one third of the value of the seedrity. To this finding of the Master the present exceptions were brought. • Mr. PEMBERTON appeared - in support of the exceptions, and Mr. BICKEBSTETII and Mr. BOUPELL in favour of the Report. • The MASTER of the ROLLS thought the question in volved in the case one of great importance to executor's, and therefore postponed judgment to consider the case further. BRISTOL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR—I cannot permit the unfounded assertions which have been propagated through many of the journals of the past week, without giving you the opportunity of denying most unequivocally the statements of there not having been any respectable banker, merchant, or capitalist atten dant upon Lord John Russell , a t the dinner given to that distinguished Nobleman on Tuesday last. To those con nected with the city of Bristol, it is quite needless to prove the high respectability, wealth, and station of the majority of those who supported the proceedings of that day. Th e publication of the names, Sir, in our provincial papers, has been amply sufficient to deter any individual here, however annoyed at, or inveterate against, the successful result of that entertainment, from attacking the respectability of the parties engaged in it ; but in order that wilful misre presentation may not mislead those at a distance, or give erroneous impressions throughout the country, I have given the names of a few individuals who attended upon that occasion, whose characters and station amongst their fel low-citizens will bid defiance to any attack, however theY may differ in a political point of view : James Cunningham, Esq.=As respectable a West India mer chant as'any in the city of Bristol. W. P. Taunton, Esq., and J. G. Smith, Esq.—Two of our provincial barristers of the highest respectabili t y . Thomas Stock, Esq.—A gentleman standing higher in th e opinion, of his fellow-citizens than, perhaps, any other. T. R. Guppy, Esq.—A very extensive merchant. Jolm Mannirgford, Escf.—A partner in the extensive banking establishment of Messrs. Stuckeys and Co. Thomas Harris, Esq.—The proprietor of the largest distillery in the West of England. Michael Castle, Esq.—A gentleman connected in partne rship with the most extensive merchants in Bristol, Messrs. Acraman and Rush. J. A. Sanders, Esq., and G. E . Sanders, Esq Two very opulent and independent gentlemen. Messrs. Alexander—General merchants upon a very extensive scale. Dr. Bompas—A highly respected physician, brother to So' geant Bompas. Bev. M. Lediard—A clergyman of the Church of England. onville Were, Esq.—A gentleman of fortune, and high l l esteemed. Henry A. Palmer, Esq.—A solicitor of reputation, asl universally esteemed. A Of Robert Bruce, Esq.—A Merchant of lo n g standing an d respectability. Edward Bowles Fripp and Charles Bowles Fripp—Both gen tlemen of highly respectable families , Frederick Ricketts—A gentleman of as wealthy and as high' riY • I ‘ respected a family as lives in Bristol—aTav out° of all parties here. John Hare, jun.—The proprietor of one of the largest manw factories in the city. Messrs. Thomas—Gentlemen of the Quaker persuas ion, and respected by all their fellow-citizens as upr i g ht wealthy people. If I were to enumerate all that attended the meeting equally as respected as the foregoing , it wo uld take 00 re room than you would be pleased to allow ; and as 11l object will have been gained, of proving the utter groin" lessness of the attacks that have been made, by publishing he foregoing, I will not trespass furthe r u p on y our time ,han to subscribe myself your obedient servant, Nov. 16.

QUEEN OF OTAHEITE.—The government of this island is at present in the hands of a young Queen, about twenty years of age, niece to the late King Pomare. Her complexion is muc lighter than that of the ordinary natives ; her hair, of a jetty blackness, flowing in graceful ringlets on her shoulders, is generally surmounted with a tiara of natural flowers ; her appearance is altogether prepossessing, if not beautiful, .and she forcibly reminded me of Lord Byron's Neuha.—Nightingale's Oceanic Sketches. MORAL MURDER.—WC, unsophisticated people on this side of the Channel have not reached the refine ment in committing murder which distinguishes our Gal lic friends. They murder upon the most scientific prin ciples, and watch with the eyes of connoisseurs the gradual operation of the poisonous ingredients administered. A girl has lately been tried for poisoning her landlord with a pleasant decoction of arsenic given in the smallest quantities, so that her victim endured no sudden and vio lent death, but gradually pined away. As he was much attached to brandy, many were inclined to ascribe his death to the too liberal use of it ; but circumstances brought the servant's guilt to light. She was cool and de liberate to the last, and asserted that her intention was quite innocent, as she only wished " to cure him of his pas sion for liquor." She succeeded certainly ; but the re mody proved worse than the disease.—Kelso Chronicle. THE LIVERPOOL ENDOWMENT JOB.—WC con gratulate the public on the defeat of the most impudent, the most scandalous attempt of the existing Common Council to mortgage a large proportion of the corporate estate for the benefit of the churches and the clergy. The Master of the Rolls granted on Saturday last an injunction, restraining the Corporation from appropriating any portion of that es tate for such a purpose. A copy of the injunction was, last evening, served on the Mayor ; and as there is every reason to believe that the transaction had not been comple ted up to Saturday night, the misapplication of the corpo rate funds will by this act be prevented. Thus the Coun cil have incurred the criminality as well as the odium of hav ing attempted to violate the law of the land in their shame ful scheme of endowment. Several of the members of that ' body are candidates for seats in the new Town Council. We trust, however, that not ote of the supporters of so disgrace ful a job will succeed in carrying his election.—Lipeipoo/ 9 Albion. .~ A Meetii terested in man of ills Th attended.
