BRISTOL. TRIUMPH OF LIBERALISM. Notwithstanding the opprobrious epithets which have been applied to the Reformers of Bri-.3t01, on Saturday last they demonstrated to their ealurr,niators that they are not the contemptible faction, which, the hireling Tory papers have represented them to be. The City has been divided Into ten Wards by the Re vising Barr►sters. In fool of those Wards, at the east-end of the town, where the. 'monopolists in trade had but little influence, the inhabit, -Ants returned Reformers to a man— whilst in one of the, Wards (St. Augustus's), where the greater part of 4 :tie property belongs to the Dean and Chapter,'the Reformers, for want of organization, and owing to tha influence of this property, were completely deferitrA. In fact, in every place where Toryism was not corrzpletely dominant, the Reformers displayed a spirit that mint have convinced the Tories they must take a position, h anceforth, which they have never before held. I here with send you the official return, just announced by the Mayor—classed Tory and Liberal, as acknowledged by the turn parties ; by which you will perceive that the Liberals lif we a majority of two.

Sir,—The Whigs of this town have nobly done their -duty by electing 12 of their own choice, being the full num -I)er for the new Council. For the last five years they have manfully contested every point, whether they had a chance of success or not. Previously to that period they were completely Tory-ridden, but their exertions are at length rewarded by a most triumphant majority over their chop fallen opponents. The following were the Candidates, with the numbers each.polled Will Samuel Healing, maltster 174 L. Winterbotba-m, solicitor 173 T. Blizard, Gentleman 168 G.

Immediately on the numbers of the diffe rent Wards being announced, the bells of the different churches rang a muffled peal to the expiring Corporation, and then many merry peals for the new City Government. Hundreds of the liberated citizens ran through the city pro claiming joyously that " Bath was at length free." The old Tory clique hastily .left the Town Hall by different routes, and shut themselves up in their houses to avoid the jeers of the triumphant Reformers. COLCHESTER.-MONDAY. (From the Essex Herald.) DECLARATION OF THE POLL FOR NEW TOWN COUNCILLORS. This being the day appointed for the Mayor, Dr. Nunn, to declare the state of the poll respecting the election of aiew Town Councillors, a great number of people assem bled in front of the Moot-hall, to ascertain the result. Various rumours were afloat during the forenoon, as to which party would be successful ; but the general opinion was in favour of the Reformers gaining the ascendancy. Too much credit cannot be given to his Worship, the Mayor, for his arrangements on Saturday last, in having the polling-booths placed in the different wards, so as to prevent any tumult on either side. The day passed off very quietly to the satisfaction of both parties, and much to the credit of his Worship, who openly declared his determination that the business ..should be conducted in such a manner that should exonerate him from suspicion or blame. There was n6c a single case of disturbance, and at the closing of the poll the files of voting papers were carried to the Moot-hall, and placed in the Corpo ration chest, the key of which was given to George Sar will, Esq., as the Custos, till this day, and his Worship, the Mayor, took possession of the key of the closet in which the chest was deposited. This day, about two o'clock, an announcement of the poll was made, when the following statement appeared, from which it will be seen that eleven of the eighteen returned are Reformers : FIRST WARD. George Savill—R. ' Thomas Moore—R. R. M. Savill—R. William Smith—T. Bartholomey Brown—R. Samuel Green Cooke—T. SECOND WARD. J. W. E. Green—T. Thomas Grimwood—T. J. F. Mills—R. THIRD WARD. T. C. Eisdell, R. I Henry Kimber, T. C. P. Jarvis, R. James Barker , R. David Morris, R. , 1 Samuel Bloomfield, R. The Hall was crowded to excess, and his Worship, the Mayor, was loudly called for ; having made his appearance, he was much cheered, and eulogised by Mr. Philbrick and others ; and a vote of thanks, with three times three cheers, was unanimously passed, for his praise-worthy con duct during his Mayoralty.—His Worship and the different successful Candidates returned thanks. In this borough the lists are not declared. The Re formers, however, contrary to the boasting of the Tories, have succeeded in returning 12 out of 18 of thl Town Robert Barber—R. George Bawtree—T. Thomas Baker—T. Councillors. Now we are delivered from the old nuisance, and can return two Liberal Members, and fear not bribes or charities. LIVERPOOL. (From the Liverpool Albion.) Only two of the candidates, out of the forty-eight no minated by the Tories, have succeeded in carrying their elections, John Shaw Leigh, Esq., for West Derby Ward, and Henry Lawrence, Esq., for Rodney-street Ward. The Mayor, as returning officer, has the power of deciding be tween Charles Lawrence, Esq., and James Aikin, Esq., who are equal on the poll for Great George Ward, and between John Barton, .Esq., and William Stuart, Esq., for St. Paul's Ward. The general result of the election stands thus : Reformers returned 44 Tories Majority of Reformers —42. The Mayor will, it is probable, " split the difference" between the Reformers and the Tories, by giving one of the equal candidates to each. Should ,his Worship so de cide, or the scrutinies justify the expectations of the Re formers, the new Town Council of Liverpool will contain Forty-five Reformers. The forty-five will immediately in crease their majority by appointing sixteen Reformers as Aldermen, thus making the total majority of the Reformers in the Council Sixty-one. Huzza for Reform ! PRESTON, WIGAN, STOCKPORT, CHESTER, AND LANCASTER. (From the Liverpool Albion.) We have most gratifying accounts of the results in the boroughs - in this district. Preston, Wigan, Stockport, Chester, and Lancaster, have all thrown off the Tory yoke, and emancipated themselves from thraldom. In Wigan, the Tories only succeeded in carrying three of their candidates, the Reformers carrying not less than 27. The result has completely astounded the Tories. dared nving . 133 . 127 . 123 .. 177 .. 171 .. 166 ~ 163 .. 156 .. 15, of the ►rderly Mayor, rich he ,ed the will be ed and ler the public we than I have )orators 'us sent , formers .... 94 .... 91 . 80 .... 73 .... 69 65 . 65 58 114 109 102 90 90 88 79 from an Ins.

I will send you the poll on Monday. The Reformers have carried everything. This local Corporation is utterly dissolved. The result is that every Tory, and fractional part of a Tay has been shut out of the new Town Council. Our list, agreed to by the electors at a public meeting, is wholly successful. So stanch did the liberals hold together, that in the poll our first candidate is only 11 above the last. The Tories tried a schism between the Churchmen and Dis senters, but the Christian scheme failed, and we are rid of the Tory ex-Corporation. BRIDGWATER. Success has crowned the cause of the people in the west. At Bridgwater, which, up to this time, has been oppressed and insulted by a close corporation appointed by the Tory faction, not one of the old self-elected corporators has been chosen on the new Town Council by the rate-payers of the town. Is not this a proof of the value to be attached to the evidence given before the House of Lords, as to the great esteem in which the townspeople held their old eorporators ? For instance, a Mr. Trevor, who had been Town-clerk of Bridgwater, and whose son had succeeded to that office (through his own merit, of course, and not in the least be cause he was the old Town-clerk's son), declared in evidence that all respectable men in the town. honoured and re spected the old Corporation, were perfectly satisfied with all its acts, and would be sorry for its destruCtion. Turn now from the ex-Town-clerk's evidence, and hear what the rate-payers of Bridgwater have to say on the subject. They liked their self-elected corporators so much, that feeling for their infirmities, and wishing to relieve them from their arduous duties, they have not chosen one of them to form part of the Town Council. The success of the Liberal party in this election is the best thing that has happened to the town for a long time. There will now be some chance for the poor man, and for the man honestly professing and acting upon liberal principles, to obtain (what they never had under the old system) even-llanded justice from the Ministers of justice. CARMARTHEN. TRIUMPH OF REFORM AND SIGNAL DEFEAT OF THE TORIES ! ! C ARM ARTHEN, DEC. 26, 1835.—The election of the Town Councillors for this borough has just closed, and I lose not a moment in communicating the result, which will be gratifying to every true Reformer. The Liberals have fought the battle with great energy and effect, and have succeeded in electing NONE BUT LIBERALS, men of respect ability and character, and without exception attached to Lord Melbourne's Gove'rnment. The Tories in this town, as a party, are now completely annihilated, and come the next Parliamentary election when it may, we shall be in a con dition to return a Liberal M.P. instead of the present Tory gentleman from Llanelly. The .concluding scene of the day was most humorous, and at the same time a cutting satire upon the defeated party. Immediately upon the closing of the poll, the last funeral rites of the defunct Corporation were performed. A large procession started from the Committee-room and hotel of the Liberals, headed by a band of music, playing the " Dead March in Saul," followed by a coffin and pall, borne by six men, and also a large box, representing the empty Corpocation chest, with the words " for sale" painted in front. After perambulating some of the leading . thoroughfares of the tow, I am informed both coffin and chest were thrown into a ditch, there to rot and perish. I should add, not the slightest disturbance or breach of the peace took place. MALDON, DEC. '26. .al opinions was allowed to :e old Corporation.

The return has been ' made - of the election which took place on Saturday, and contains twelve Liberals and six Tories. The return of one of the Wards is, however, dis puted, and it is expected that another Tory will be ousted. Only two of the old corporators have obtained seats out of nine Corporation candidates ; and the paty who have so long usurped the authority of the town, ar i now miserably chop-fallen, as they have practised all sorts of intimidation, and treating to no purpose. The burgeises have behaved admirably, and from the stanch liberal sentiments of the Town-Councillors, there is no fear of their stultifying their principles by appointing a single Tory Alderman. The liberal inhabitants look forward to a new era of just and economical Government, and the election has given great public satisfaction. NEWARK, DEC. 26. We expected the three wards would divide and beat us, from the local power and talents you .know in this dukery. But we have given the Tories a thorough thrashing, as you will see to-morrow by the ward lists. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 26. seven belonged to the old corporate body of 1832. Ply mouth has, therefore, displayed a decidedly Liberal spirit. The new Council is composed of men of busineSS habits and independent character, and the change is unquestion ably for the better in all respects. The few Tories lected have been chosen from circumstances altogether unconnected with politics. The real Tory candidates . were in a miser able minority. A complete revolution has taken place in the municipal body of Plymouth, and the result will, be a great increase of strength to the popular party. On the Tory side, in that ward, the highest number of votes was for J. Williams, baker, and James Banner, 88 each. WARWICK, DEC. 25. Sing, rejoice, and be glad ! The conquest is nobly gained over the old municipal self-elect of Warwick. Behold the following list for the parish and ward of St. Mary : SUCCESSFUL.—W. Collins, 314 ; Jos. Sanders, 344 ; C. Lamb, 330 ; Rd. Jaggard, 331 ; Rd. HiOrns, 332 ; J. Smith, wine-merchant., 328 ; *Kel. Greenway, 310 ; *Jo seph Phillips, 308 ; John Enoch, 295 ; *John Wilmshurst, 287 ; John Twamley, 28.5 ; John Lamprey, 281. UNSUCCESSFUL.—Rose, vestry surgeon, 258 ; Henry Smyk, 260 ; George Stowe, 251 ; Jones, late alderman, 277 ; Ebenezer -Heathcote, 270 ; Edward Greaves, banker, 262 ; J. C. Docker, 276: Samuel Burbury, tanner, 24.5 ; W. Blenkinsop, surgeon, 279 ; Ward, late Alderman, 276 ; W. Tibbets, late Alderman, 278 ; Edwards, Jury-street, 261 ; Morris, late Alderman, 16 ; Malloy, present Mayor, 13 ; Dr. Wake, I ; Wm. Staunton, Esq., Longbridge, 1. # Those marked thus are Tories and late Aldermen, the only old members elected. The Town Council of this ward, therefore, consist of nine Liberals, and three Tories. It• is understood that neither of the latter will act. Greenway, the banker, the Castle people say, will give a cheque for the fine, and re tire in disgust. Wilmshurst claims exemption under the Apothecaries' Act ; and-poor Phillips (a man much re spected, I believe, by both parties) will not " sit alone in his glory." ' WARD OF NlCHOLAS.—Councilmen elected : John Smith, 124 ; John Goodhall, 123 ; Theophilus Taylor, 118; Job Richardson, 118 ; J. .Cattell, 117 ; Wm. Cookes 114 ; all Liberals. Of the 18, therefore, for the.borough, 15 are Liberals ; a majority of 5 to 1. After such a signal defeat (declared by the Mayor this morning) the Tories are completely down. Their old spirit is broken. The merry lads of the successful party have held an inquest this afternoon on the deceased Body Corporate. The proceedings were conducted with great decorum :-Ist, The Jury sang a melancholy dirge, in stantly followed by " 0 dear ! what can the matter be?" Each of these appropriate pieces being writ ten expressly for the occasion. Then the Jury re ceived evidence, and it was at first expected that the ver dict would have been very serious, no less than wilful murder against Joseph Parkes, the Secretary of the Cor porate Commission, and a native of this borough, but it being proved that on Thursday evening each Alderman ordered his gown to be sent home, I threw out a hint that such an act might be taken as proof that the Corporate Body meditated self-murder, and very naturally wished to die decently in their gown:.• The Jury consulted together, snd'at length decided on the following verdict : • " That the Body Corporate having bad their consciences disturbed by one Joseph Parkes, whereby the stings of re morse were rendered more and more unbearable, did on Saturday last destroy their existence by their own hands— therefore the Jury return a verdict of Felo de se, and the Coroner directs the body to be buried in t 4 highway." The burial, with a muffled band, is expected to take place to-morrow. FRANKFORT WARD—Reformers : Dr. Cookswortby , H. M. Gibson, attorney ; Wm. Jacobson, attorney ; Col. Elliot. Tories : Mr. Bone, purser, R.N. ; Mr. Whiteford, attorney, late Town•clerk. DRAKE'S `'YARD.—Reformers : W. Prance, gent. ; D. Derry, banker ; Mr. Aldham, manufacturer ; Mr. Frean, corn-merchant ; Mr. Tanner, tanner ; and Mr. Shepheard, stone-cutter. BRIDGWATER, DEc. 28. Our abominable old Corporation is gone to the tomb of the Capulets. It is all over with them, and they have po litically expired in the lump. The paralytic stroke of the Corporation Act has been their death. Of the 24 late self-elect 22 were bitter Tories. They had only ten of their decayed body eligible to be re-elected ; viz., nine Tories and one Whig, who were all candidates, the others not being resident or householders. The nine Tories are all thrown overboard and swamped, and the Whig Cor porator, being in the Liberal List, was returned a Town Councillor. The North Ward contains 192 Burgesses, out of which number the Reformers polled 99, and the Tories 73 ; the South Ward contains 208, of whom the Reformers polled 107, and the Tories 86 ; so that the Re formers liave in both Wards a majority of 47. Some cross voting which took place may somewhat alter these numbers, but not materially. From the close of the poll on Satur day until 12 o'clock of that night all the cannon in the port were firing, and the bells ringing ; and these rejoicings have been resumed this morning. The new Council are now in the Hall to commence on their duties. DEAL, DEC. 26. Notwithstanding the unscrupulous exertions of the To ries here, and all the leading Tories of the neighbourhood, the Reformers succeeded in carrying their entire list, all Liberals. 'W e have done this by organization and union, a power taught us recently by the Conservatives. Fas est ab hoste doceri. CHESTERFIELD. Daniels (T) Towndrow (R.) Hopkinson (T.)

WENLOCK, DEC. 21.—1 n this straggling rural Corpora tion Boundary, we could not face the country Tories ; but in our Madely Ward we returned six Reformers. No more darkness or dirty work. KIDDERMINSTER, DEC. 28.—1 this borough you will regret to hear we are no- successful in our struggle against the Tories. Of 18 only two reformers are crrrisd. But the old corporation is destroyed, and respectable suc cessors appointed. CHESTERFIELD, DEC. 28.—This borough has gallantly defeated Toryism. It has victoriously returned 9 Libe rals, and only 3 Tories. I subjoin the poll for the 12 Town Councillors :—T. Daniels, 170 ; R. Towndrow, 163 ; T. Hopkinson, 146 ; R. Robinson, 141 ; T.

Of the thirty-six Town Councillors, the Reformers carried THIRTY-Foua Yes, indeed, our Town Hall is washed out. No more Tory revelling and election plotting for Members of Par liament. Eighteen out of the old corporators bad the assurance to present themselves as candidates. The num ber re-elected is five, three being Liberals, the Reformers returning them. Our Ward Polls are not printed. No more corruptly-returned Tory Members .for this emanci pated and Corporationzdelivered city. We are all over joyed with our success. A Cathedral force of Tory cleigy could not avail the Tory candidates. Our Town Couticil lors are highly respectable—how much .respected, the poll proves. The Tories are dismayed, and have not yet been able to account for their defeat in all the wards. ROCHESTER, DEC. 27. We hare had a desperate conflict here, and a tie, 9 and 9. Still the old system is destroyed, and the 18 will be a sufficient check to one another, under the control of the Act. How they will agree in the choice of mayor or alder men we cannot telt. SANDWICH, Dec. 27. I cannot send you the poll-lists accurately till to-morrow. But every Reformer named by the Patriotic Association has beaten the Tories. STOCKPORT. In our borough `we had to return forty-two council lors. The poll has been most glorious. I do not be lieve that above four, at the utmost, of the Tories, have been chosen, and indeed, it is not certain that there is one. The beer-barrels and brandy-bottles were in vain applied by the Tories. We did not " treat," and our men freely and purely voted. The soldiers are under arms, and the town might be supposed to be besieged, but all is quiet and peaceable. Our electors are sober, though overjoyed. I will send you the polls on Monday. In Congleton our friends write that all is safe for the Re form cause. SUDBURY. In this borough, you will be glad to hear, we have soundly beaten the Tories, who boasted of returning all the Town Council. The remit of this election is eight Reformers and four Tories. Four Aldermen are to be elected by the Council. The old Corporation consists of a Mayor, six Aldermen, and 24 Common Councilmen, self-elected, and all, except one, Ultra-Tories, acting in strict unison. The rates upon the whole of the cottages in the town, under 61. per year, are compounded for by the landlord, not under any Act of Parliament, but by private arrangements ; their tenants are let off half the rates, in consequence of the landlords consenting to pay the other half. The number of voters on the burgess list now, in consequence of this, is only 255. Every Tory means was exerted to carry this election. 242 voted; 13 did not vote. REFORMERS ELECTED. .

We should think that the Managers of the Central Bank at Ply mouth can hardly be aware of this, as we know they have always been jealous of allowing the influence of their establishment to be used for political purposes, rightly judging that such conduct will not be the means of extend ing their circulation. We arc,- however, happy to state that the cause of Reform will be triumphant.—,E.retcr Western Times. WARWICK. We hope that the Reformers have succeeded in obtain ing a majority in the Town Council. We have no doubt that we have returned the whole six Liberal candidates in DUBLIN THEATRE. Such a combination of talent and such varied and ex cellent entertainment have seldom been offered to the Dub lin public, as Mr. Calcraft produced on Tuesday last. Bel lini's magnificent opera of La Sonnambrda, adapted to the English stage, after a long preparation, was produced in a style not inferior to its best representation at Drury-lane or Covent-garden: In addition to this splendid opera, we had the pleasure of seeing the French company perform in a theatre suited to the full display of their Trowers. They played two vaude villes, one preceding and the other succeeding the opera. Some, if not all, of the exquisite composition of La S 0711• nambula must be well known by the majority of the lovers of music ; and those who have listened with pleasure to the chaste and finished style which pervades the music of Bel hill in this opera, must feel that pleasure, not unmixed with pain, on reflecting that so gifted a genius should have been so early snatched away. If such was the dawning, what would have been the meridian splendour ? Having paid this passing tribute to the memory of the composer, we must hasten to speak of the performance of his music. Miss Birch was the prima donna. Her chaste, correct, and finished execution of the music allotted to the character of Amine, has proved equal to the performance of the most difficult music of the Italian school. She now undoubtedly stands in the proud station of one of the first female singers of the English stage. The other parts were well filled, Mr. Wilson beinr , in himself a host. The choruses were most effective, and the dresses and scenery appropriate and com plete. The opening aria, "Oh love, for me thy power," is in the bravura style, and is followed by a beautiful duet by Miss Birch and Mr. Wilson—" Take now this ring." This was succeeded by a splendid chorus, and another duet in a playful style, " Yes; I am jealous, when thy flowing tresses." The act concludes with a full chorus. The music of the succeeding acts is also very fine, and there is one exqusite bravura by Amine after she awakes. The great beauty of the entire composition is its excellent adaptation of the sound to the sentiment. Nothing can surpass the music connected with the scene when Amine walks in her sleep. Such was the effect of Miss Birch's singing, that at the dropping of the curtain there was one simultaneous burst of applause ; and, on Mr. Wilson's appearing to announce the performances for the succeeding evening, so loud and general was the call for Miss Birch, that he was compelled to retire, but he shortly returned, leading in the lady, who respectfully acknowledged the warm congratulations of the audience. [We have much pleasure in inserting the above spontaneous tribute to the talents of Miss Birch. From what we have heard from several quarters, we are persuaded that this young lady will be an ornament to the English stage.—ED. Sun.] PAVILION THEATRE. After Dibdin Pitt's drama of Wilkie the Weaver, a new pantomime was presented on Saturday, under the title of jack Straw's castle, or Harlequin and Dame Durden, and if the boisterous mirth of the audience may be taken as a criterion of its merit, the affair must be said to be excel lent. Farrell is the inventor, and has availed himself of all the means peculiar to himself, to do for this piece what is seldom done for similar pieces now-a-days—he has given not only something in the shnpe of a plot to the opening, the developement of which is exceedingly amusing, but he has likewise contrived to keep up the links of the whole of the comic scenes, from the transformations to the end. All the performers exerted themselves to the utmost, and were rewarded accordingly. T. Hill is a capital clown ; he is not, perhaps, so fond of attitudinizing as some of his competitors, but his natural broad and rich humour, and the peculiarity of his gait, enables him to give an entirety to the character that others attempt to accomplish in vain. Miss Rayner's Columbine, though inferior in some points to that of her predecessor, Miss G. Reekie, who is now at Drury-lane, is upon the whole deserving of much commen dation. Chapino and Toungman filled their respective parts—Harlequin and Pantaloon—very efficiently. The new tricks are all effective, and several of them told admi rably against some of the new-fangled foibles of the day— those aimed at " gin-palaces," and the " Mustachio puppy ism," were loudly applauded. Of the scenery, particularly Telbin's, Gordon's, and Brunning's, it is impossible to speak too highly—a Diorama of the Seasons, and a pictorial view of Ascot Heath Races, with a view of the Royal party's arrival at the Grand Stand, are really beautiful productions. The house was crammed, [THE COURT JOURNAL.] —The first Number for the new year of this popular Journal will appear on Satur day next, and those who may desire to avail themselves j:lf this favourable opportunity for commencing the publication are requested to forward their orders immediately to their respective booksellers or newsvendcrs.

The artful representations of the Tories and their agents in the rural districts, that if the Tories were in office, corn would soon advance in price, though they im posed upon the farmers in the country, have had quite a contrary effect in the cities, towns, and boroughs, as is proved by the returns under the Municipal Corporation Act, there not having been a single rcturn in favour of the Tories, who have been everywhere defeated by overwhelm ing majorities. • LISBON AND GERMAN PAPERS- LISBON', DEC. 15.—The Mario contain: a noticc . i . orrr the Minister of Justice, stating that the District Judge of Moura had sent word that on the ,3d of thii month the prison of that town had been broken into by six armed men, wearing masks, who assassinated Jose de Paula Pacheco, tonio Pedro Thomas, and Francisco Jose Ravalhas, prisoners confined there for political offences. Whether the persons assassinated were criminal or not, it. is only for the law to 'Amish them, and the pernicious pre tence of pritale vengeance can never be tolerated, as it disturbs the order of society,. and, as in the present case, removes the per Sons assassinated from the ekes of criminals to that of victims of barbarity and of rebellion against the legitimate authority. tier Majesty, therefore, orders , the said Judge to do his utmost td discover and bring to pal nishment the authors of this crime. _ DEC. 16.—An official notice from the civil Governor of the town of Villa Real to the Minister of the Intl Tier, an nounces the destruction of the Guerilla of the notorious Lopez, which-infested the province of Lugo and Corunna ; it was completely routed on the river Ulta, with the loss of sixty prisoners, thirty-three left dead on the field aad drowned in the river, and the remainder were closely pursued. The Minister of War, in an official notice to the army, announces that the engagement of the 2d Regiment of the Queen's Light Infantry having expired, her Majesty was pleased to dissolve that corps, expressing at the same time her grateful satisfaction for the services performed by the Regiment from the time that it made part of the liberating army, which so gloriously put down the Usurpation. DEC. 18.—Tbe Ministe'r of the Interior, in a report to her Majesty says :—" Faithful to the principles I profess, that votes of confidence given by the Cortes to the Govern• ment, are an exception to the regular course prescribed by the Chamber, and consequently that the Government must use those votes with the greatest reserve and scrupulous ness, I have the honour to call your Majesty's attention to the following points : By art. 3 of the law of 25th April of this year, and art. 1 of the law of 29th December, 1834, your Majesty's Go vernment was authorised to dispose of the sum of 100 con tos of rees per annum, besides the sum which should be fixed by the estimates for the execution of useful public works ; and the Government was also authorised to make the necessary loans (at London or elsewhere) for giving greater activity to such works, especially the making and improving of roads. The Minister says, that in order to carry such plans into effect a mass of knowledge, of general and local information, is required in the Administration, and particularly in the Minister within whose department the affair is, which it will be difficult to find in an individual ; and though there may be men in Por tugal possessed of such knowledge, he, in concert with his colleagues, frankly confesses that he is far from being so qualified ; and he adds that the interposition of a sin gle opinion instead of the united wisdom and knowledge of the Cortes, exceeds his powers, and is contrary to his conscientious conviction. Had the preceding Ministers, however, acted in conseqnence of this vote of credit, the present Administration would not willingly have interrupted useful works already begun, but this not having been the case, the present Ministry having found no plan ready, and having been too short a time in office to form one themselves before the opening of the Cortes, he proposes to her Mn jesty a decree revoking the votes of confidence in question. By the decree to which her Majesty's sanction is given, the decree of the 16th of July, authorising the Ministers to raise at London or elsewhere, a capital amounting to the annual sum of 100 contos of reis, to be employed in improv ing the roads of the kingdom, is revoked. No similar con tract shall be made without the assent of the Cortes ; the members shall receive all proposals to be made to them, and shall arrange them, and collect all possible information on the subject that may be laid before the Cortes in the clearest manner possible. Any works already commenced shall be preserved, that the abandonment of them may not cause additional expense in case they should be approved by the legislative body. PALACE OF THE NECESSIDADES, DEC. 12, 1835. DEC. 19.—A decree of her Majesty orders all plans and proposals for the improvement of the roads, &c., to be re ferred to the Commissioners for the Internal Communica tion.—Lisbon Paper to Dec. 19, inclusive. CLAUSENBURG, DEC. 2.—(From the letter of a Tra veller.) —Already when I was in Prussia, and still more at ' Vienna, a very formidable description was given me of the state of fermentation which prevailed among the people of Transylvania. Even at Pesth, where I was so much nearer to the alleged foCus of the insurrection, people looked very serious when I spoke of going to Transylvania. I was accordingly in a state of some anxiety When I arrived at Clausenburg, the capital of the province. There I found everything in the usual state of order and profound tranquil lity. The Archduke Ferdinand,who had been sent to the coun try as the pacificator, drove through the streets in as quiet a manner as at Vienna and Jevery, where we saw proofs of the respect and affection that is felt for him. However the remonstrances which were made a year ago by the Diet of Transylvania, and the rather severe ordinance of the late Emperor which ensued, excited some sensation in the diplo matic circles. But the differences which are already old, arc on the point of being settled. One disadvantage, in deed, which this affair has produced, will not be so easily repaired. A number of distinguished men who held public offices, gave them up because the loudly expressed opinions of the people had in a manner proscribed them, so that it will be very difficult to find perions equally eminent to fill those offices, for the Transylvanian is as jealous of his own honour as of his right.—Supplement to Ailgemeine Zeitung, Dec. 23. _ ST. PETERSBURGII, DEC. 12.—His Majesty, while at Kiew, addressed the following Ukase to the Senate : " Directing our attention to the present state of the provinces restored by Poland, we have found, to our great dissatisfaction, that the nobility of that country, for the most part, avoid serving our armies, or in civil offices, and persist in idleness. Hence, in the elections, a great part of the posts in the service of the internal Government is confided to individuals who have not been employed at all, is only for a short time in the service of the State. In this manner privileges which were granted to the nobility and the provinces of Great Russia for their fidelity, and sacri fices in the service of the country, are here used as pre texts, to share in advantages of this kind without any merit, and to fill the elective offices, with individuals wholly inexperienced and incapable, and sometimes not worthy of confidence. In order to remedy this evil, we have thought to ordain as follows : ,Henceforth no person in the Governments of Wilna, Grodno, Minsk, Volhynia, Podolia, and the province of Byalistok, has a right to hold posts which arc filled by elec tions of the Nobility, unless he has been ten years in the. Military or Civil service. 2. An exception is made in favor of those, who without having been in actual service, have already filled for three years successively elective offices. 3. Should no fit person be found for the vacant posts, they are to be filled up by the Minister of the Interior, or by the Committee, created by the 18th of August, 1814, but according to the opinion of the Minister of the Interibr. The Directing Senate will not fail to adopt measures to carry this decree into effect."—Dated Kiew, October 24, 1885.—Frankforl Paper, Dec. 23. MADRID. Dcc. 19.—The spirits of the adherents of the Quee❑ have been much elevated since yesterday morning. A courier arrived with intelligence from General Palarea, dated from Molina, in Arragon, on the 15th, in which he states, that after 35 days' march in wet and cold, he and his troops had succeeded in catching the rebel bands under the command of Cabrera, the nicknamed " Commander-in- Chief," Forcadel, Quilez, and others, in number about 7,000. His troops, in number 3,000 men, although much exhausted, and some almost barefoot, attacked the rabble twice, once on the heights of the Tejeras, opposite to the town of Miralgon, a league and a half distant from it, and the second time on the heights over Molina, on both occa sions with the bayonet. The rebels lost 400 men dead on the field, besides various cases of ammunition. He had also_ the good fortune to resue 200 of the sappers taken pri soners on the- 12th, and among them two officers of the Soria detachment, who were to have been shot by the rebels on that very day. The dispatch represents the whole of the rebels to have been defeated and dispersed. This dispatch, which was immediately published in a supplement to the Gazette, and distributed to the members of both Estamentos on their assembling at one o'clock, was read by them with great avidity. The dangers that threatened St. Sebastian have also passed over, for intelligence has arrived that the gross body of the assailants had given over the bombardment, in con sequence of some movements made by Generals Espartero and Evans in the neighbourhood of Vittoria, and of Gene ral Cardova near Logrono. The highest praise is bestowed on the efforts of the British men-of-war, and of the steam boats, in the timely succour afforded that important place, the taking of which would have produced the most extra- ordinary results, for it is said here that Don Carlos would have been then recognized by the Northern Powers. So satisfied does the Spanish Government appear to be with the efforts of the British navy in behalf of liberty and of Isabel 11., that yesterday the Prime Minister, acting on behalf of the Queen, is said to have signed a'request to the British Government for permission to bestow the star of the distinguished order of Charles 111. on Lord John Hay, whose gallant and prudent conduct as the senior British officer on that station has gained the applause of all. Col. Wylde will, as it is expected, receive another decoration of a military description. The efforts of M. Mendizabal to put a speedy period to the civil war do not in the slightest degree relax. The whole of the districts frequented by the - rebels in Navarre 70 7 1:" , rf +~~ S j I:- '~. ~. and the Basque p, be d by General Cordova in a state consequekve Q& which is, that no ,p( Ail* lOr this part of Spzi.ia can proceed thither.

The F r eich Government, which is stated to have a from apprehe,ision of Jonathan and Russia, to conciliate the good will of Jo.lin Bull, has filmed right round, and •now supports the cause of the Queen, 'without at least any _appa rent deceit. These Successes have foiied many of the intrigues which, are seer Sly at work against M. ICI: mclizairal. His &sin— ' i.e-resteciness and surprising activity .I)ewilder the most pert, for they as yet know not on whi , :..11 side to attack him ; that c 5 his not being able to fulfil, the duties of four Mi nisters attinars as yet to be the only point on which they consider Liar vulnerable, and, therefore; there have been fre quent comments made thereon. His integrity being above taint is unassaikble, and of disinterestedness he gives the most signal proofs. • The complaints of the want of' mormy to pay the current expenses has also been spoken of, but 11:5,reply is known to be—" I have - been three moaths in office; - and I have paid three months to all the claimants. It cannot be expect e d ! that in the present state of Spain I should pay• the arreas due by my predecessors." This fact is undeniaMe. It is! further asserted, and on the best authority, that on the 10th of January he will have in the bank of San. Fernando, in this city, 60,000,000 reals,—a sum which no Govern ment during the last 60 years had at the beginning of any year at its disposal. The Estamentos proceed with due caution in the examination of the laws proposed to them by the Government. Yesterday the law respecting Ministerial responsibility was read in the Chamber of Proceres, and re ferred to a special committee. In the Chamber of Pro o radores the law for the liberty of the Press was read by the Minister of the Home Department. It is a very long document consisting of 71 articles. One of the objects of Mendizabal's Ministry. being to •engage the members of both Estuneptos, who talents are well known, to support the cause of justice and freedom, there have been several :meetings of the most influential Proceres and Procuradores at the Foreign-office, when the Minister explains fairly his views to them and asks their opinions. The question of the American Colonies was two nights ago discussed in that manner at a friendly meeting, attended by Martinez de la Rosa, Arguelles, Galiano, Isturiz, Ofalia, Garelli, Gil de la Cuadra, the Duke of Rivas, &c., when all declared their determination to sup port the measures which the Government should propose. The meeting lasted from nine to two o'clock in the morning. In consequence of the arrest of a Franciscan friar at Logrono, a correspondence has been detected which im plicates him as a channel for sending maney to the Carlists in the north. Among his papers were found some which implicate several of his brethren in the great Franciscan convent in this city. Arrests have been effected there, and guards have been stationed around the building. :.! . CU ,ro of fit , sWtrc - , erson frwth Alf LITHOTOMY AND LITHOTRITY. (From the Kilmarnock Journal.) Da. COSTELLO.—On Saturday last, the celebrated Dr. Costello, of London, who has been for a short time in Kil marnock, in the course of a professional tour, performed the operatioas of lithotanty and lithotrity, and afterwards de livered an able and Interesting lecture in the Town- Hall, in presence of a large assemblage of the medical gen tlemen, not of this town only, but also of the other towns and villages in the county. The patient who was subjected to the usual operation of lithotomy, or cutting for stone, is a little boy, about seven years of age ; he bore the opera tion which was as carefully as it was skilfully performed, and occupied only a few minutes, remarkably well ; and the case has since been going on so very favourably, as to give assurance of speedy and complete recovery. Litho tray, or crushing the stone, so as to admit of its discharge in fragments, was exhibited upon two aged individuals, who had, far many years, been martyrs to this most agonising dis ease. This mode of removing stone, though it has only of late years attracted the attention of the profession, is likely, we are satisfied, soon to supersede, in a great proportion of adult cases at least, the more formidable method by cutting, which has been hitherto in use. No small share of the - honour of this, which may be regarded as one of the most splen did improvements in modern surgery, will fall to be ac corded to the subject of our present sketch ; as, although t`le original invention is to be ascribed to M. Civiale, of Paris, Dr. Costello is entitled to the principal merit, pot only of introducing it into this country, and of working out for it a favourable reception from British practitioners, but also of bringing the necessary instruments to such a state of perfection as to render the operation comparatively easy of performance to the surgeon, as well as painless and safe to the patient. The skill and astonishing dexterity which he displayed in the cases of the two individuals referred•to, and also in that of another gentleman in town, now almost entirely cured, and that at the expense of very•little suit fering indeed, and of scarcely a day's confinement from his usual avocations, afforded to all who witnessed then the highest gratification which operative surgery had perhaps ever yielded them. It was certainly enough to make them proud of their art, and confident in its resources, to see so signal a manifestation of its power . over one of the most dreadful " ills that flesh is heir to ;" and it set before them a cheering example of what talent, per severing study, and enthusiastic devotion to their pro fession may effect ; raising, as these have done, this cele brated operator to the proud eminence to which he has so justly attained, and earning for him the high character of a benefactor to his species. The frankness and courtesy with which Dr. Costello exhibits and explains his surgical im provements, are - beyond all praise, and have endeared him as much to the profession in this place as his general scientific acquirements and amiability of character have secured him the respect and esteem of all who have enjoyed the honour of his society. His visit to Scotland at this time, besides having for its object the recommending his favourite litho trity to more general acceptance, has also, we understand, been undertaken with the view of procuring co-operators in the preparation of a Cyclopedia of Surgery,—a work in tended to comprise treatises upon the several departments of operative sur g ery, by those of the profession most con versant with them, and to embrace all the improvements most recently introduced. Such a publication has been, fQr some time, felt to be a desideratum ; and will, we doubt not, with such an able editor, and such distinguished coad jutors as he has secured throughout the kingdom, prove a most valuable addition to our medical literature.—From a Medical Correspondent..
