The claimant's name appeared upon the rate made September 1834, but the Rouse was marked empty. The Collector stated that he bad so marked it, because he believed it was empty, but he afterwards ascertained that Mr. Darton had resided there during the entire period from Lady-day 1834, and the rates were paid by the claimant. Udder these circumstances, he (Mr. Tamlyn) was of opi nion that the rating was good, and the objection must be 'Edward Griffiths. —This case was nearly similar in its circumstances, and an objection bad been taken by the same I) artY. Judgment as abovo.—Objection disallowed. There were four other objections taiten by Mr. Rogers, oo the groun d of the claimants not being rated, which diedrenoatllozpeeda.r, In eight other cases of clai ms , th e partie s and their names were struck out of the list.

BEFORE MR, CRAIG. The Court again sat at half-past nine o'clock. . ST. BOTOLPH, ALDGATE. At the sitting of the Court, Mr. CRAIG gaveludgment in the case of 111 F. Thomas Dick, who had claimed to be : t ut en the register in respect of a house occupied by him N°. 3 . Circu s , Minories. The question b e f ore th e C our t ,vas, bad M r. Di ck claimed to be rated to the poor-rate, ; e in the form and manner required by the Act. As he the considered the case as one of much importance, and as decision in it would govern many other cases, he had "en tim e t o g i ve t h e case mature consideration. It ap- Zed from the' evidence, that previous to the month a , E October l ast , a 1 1 1 r. H oare, a gentleman who had co a very ac ti ve par t i n a paroc hi a l C ommittee, 'or so anxi ous t o h ave a ll persons pay i ng a rental be 1 5/. a y ear qualified to be put on th e reg i s t r y, th at 4made out a list of such persons in the parish who were 14 rated to the po or , an d a t th e next vestry move d t h at names in his li s t s h ou ld b e put on t h e rate -b oo k . Th e o terseers objected to this plan on the ground of its being waste of time, and that it would cause much delay in - "e Making of the rate. Mr. Hoare then proposed a few a rso ns by name , an d requeste d t h at they might be rated. e Overseers again objected, and Mr. Hoare protested t a rinst the d ec i s i on o f t h e V estry. I t di d not appear i n L e ., evidenc e th a t any o f t h e persons i n M r. Hoare ' s list `"'n authorised him to claim on their behalf to have their names put on the rate-book. There was no evidence either th at Mr. Dick was insertedin that list, and even if it was, was no evidence given to show that he had authorised a "' name to be so - in ser t e d a t th e ti me , or t h at h e h a d :Proved of it afterwards ; on the latter point the evidence cleatso show, m ere l y , th a t M r .

It was i mposs ibl e to cons id er m as good claim s i n th e a b sence o f ev id ence t o s h ow a uthorit y g i ven b y Mr. Hoare for the purpose. Under these:i ci rcumstances, h owever reluctantly, he was o b liged to ' s allow the claim. This decides many other claims made this Parish in a similar manner. IN THE CASE OF MOSES LYONS, j uo 4 r. CRAIG said in this case he was prepared to give his 'gment upon only one point—that was, whether a pay inent of a rate by a landlord on the part of the tenant (who 'vas rated) was such a payment by the tenant as would eKc ntitle him to have his name placed on the list of voters. `had consulted with his learned colleague upon the sub ect, and both he and his colleague were of opinion that it a s a suffi c i ent payment accor di ng to t h e l ega l max i m— Aus faCit per alium facit per se. He would give his judg ment on the other points to-morrow morning. a Mr. Archer claimed to be registered for the occupation of 3 'rd and steam-engine house. Th e rates , & c . were a ll r a g ) , and the claim was allowed. While Mr. Archer was niter examination, t , Mr. R owcro f t comp l a i ne d t h at some persons h a d prompte d ne witness, who was on his oath. Such conduct had been a :, very frequent that he felt it his duty to call the attention the Court to the subject, Mv. CRAIG said them could be no doubt that such con duct not only improper, but illegal. He had noticed it t re q u entlY, but F. 13 far as his observation went, it was by no earls confined to one side. He must desire that such im r'oPer conduct be not repeated. Q'eNTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

This transaction was perfectly honest. When asked if he bad any witnesses to character, he said he could not get a pen and ink, or he would have written to some respectable persons. The Deputy Gaoler said that the prisoner would have been supplied with pen, ink, and paper, if he had asked for them. Prisoner—l asked the people in the ward, but I was no better than a Toni No!! among 'em—they made quite a fool of me. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty against both the prisoners. The Court thought that a meet pr6per verdict. The prosecutor said the letter he had received told him he was robbed every morning, and described the eldest pri soner as the man who took the meat away. The COMMON SEncEANT said he could write anonymous letters too. Ho sometithes saw strange things early in the morning. PRINCESS VIGTORIA.—Mr. Watson, of the firm of Cooke and Watson, of York, had the honour of an au dieort o 1 the Princess Victoria, at Bishopsthorpe, on Friday week, in order to present to her Royal Highness— not an address. but a dress, or rather, the material of a dress, which had been sent to him for the purpose - by the manuracturers, Messrs. James Hargreaves and Co., of Kirkstall, near Leeds. It was a claret-coloured cachmere, embroidered in flowers of green, white, and maize, and of so eNquisitely beautiful a fabric as to rival the finest French merino ever produced. Tier Royal Highness most gra- ciously accepted this - offering of respect, and as well as the Duchess of Kent and all the Royal party, expressed the highest admiration at this superb specimen of the perfection of British manufacture.—Leeds Intelligencer. - MR. O'CONNELL'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.—As indicative of the prevalent feeling in Scotland amongst even those who were prejudiced against the Liberator, the fol lowing extract from the Kelso Chronicle, is taken from amongst numerous of such testimonies in his favour : Our Tory friends arc mighty wroth at the mention of this individual's name, and chagrined beyond measure that he is not turncoat enough to give them at times a lift, inveigh against him in Et . spirit bordering on demoniasm. No one could condemn in stronger terms than we uniformly did, some parts of Mr. O'Connell's previous conduct. We deprecated his Repeal ditttation, but are free to confess that his recent behaviour has altered our pre-conceived notions of him to a certain extent." A SPORTING ExPitt63.—The intelligence of the result of the Great Doncaster St. Leger race was brought to this town in an incredibly short space of time. Some arrangement having been entinell into by some of our sport ing men with Mr. Jotph Richardson, jun., of the King's Head Inn, Chapel-street, Salford, he undertook to bring the news express, being supplied for that purpose with seven horses, two of his own, and. five belonging to the parties. The result of the race was declared by the judges at Don caster shortly before four o'clock on Tuesday, and at four o'colck he started, and actually rode the whole distance of 53 miles (using the seven horses) in two hours and 33 mi nutes, being at the rate of about a mile in three minutes, or twenty miles an hour for the whole distance, including stop pages.—Manchester Gaardian. MR. THOMAS CAMPBELL.—The " Letters from, the South," by the Author of " The ,Pleasures of Hope,' which are about to appear in that very interesting Maga zine, " The New Monthly," are the suit of about fifteen months' Travels in Algiers and other parts. The Poet, we believe, left England in May, 1834, and returned in August of the present year. According to report, his Letters will be found not only highly amusing and anecdo tical, but will also throw much light on the moral, social, and political condition of the northern shores of the great African Continent. On Saturday, an inquest was held at Chalk Farm Tavern, on' the bodies of William Brooks, aged 23, and Mark Armstrong, aged 26, who. lost their lives on Thurs day evening, while working in the shaft of the Lcindon"ond Birmingham Railway, near Primrose-bill. appeared that the deceased had been working at the lower shaft of the tunnel, at the depth of seventy feet, when the earth gave way, and upwards of ten tons weight fell upon them. Two other men, W. Brown and Henry. Dewell, were also buried in the earth, but were dug out alive twenty minutes after the accident. The deceased were not dug out until half an hour after the occurrence, and were quite dead —Verdict, Accidental Death. Saturday an inquest was held in the Committee room of Newington workhouse, before Mr. Carter, on the body of a female child, eighteen months old, the illegitimate daughter of a young woman named Harriet Angliss, who was examined a few days ago at Union Hall, charged on suspicion of murder. The woman Angliss was brought from the county gaol, where she had been confined since Wednesday, and a man named Adams, a navigator, with whom she had been cohabiting for the last three years, vo luntarily attended the inquiry, to answer any charge which might be preferred against him. The Jury having beard the whole of .the evidence, returned a verdict—" That the child died a natural death, arising from disease, and neglect of the mother." ACCIDENT WITH A GUN.—A young woman named Rice, living in the family of Mr. Feltham, of Hamp stead, as housemaid, had nearly lost her life on Friday even ing from the dangerous and culpable practice of playing with fire arms. Mr. Feltham, jun., and another gentleman, had been out shooting in the early part of the day, and oo their return the former handed his gun to the footman, who car ried it into the kitchen and presented it at the cook and housemaid, saying, in a joke, " I'll shoot you." Not sup posing it to be loaded he pulled the trigger, when the gun went off and lodged its contents in the neck and breast of the poor housemaid, who is now in a somewhat dangerous state, although hopes are entertained of her recovery. The cook escaped by taking flight the moment the gun was pre sented. ALARMING FIRE.—A fire broke out about one o'clock on Saturday morning last, in a wheelwright's shop, New Inn-yard, Tottenham-court-road, in which arc seve ral small tenements occupied by many families of the poorer portion of the community. The firo burnt very rapidly for half an hour, when fortunately the engines arrived in rapid succession, and the firemen having obtained a most excel lent supply of water, they poured forth torrents on the burning ruins, and luckily prevented the extension of de struction farther than the premises where the fire originated. Notwithstanding the confusion that for a time prevailed, none of the inmates sustained any injury. The exertions of the police force present was beyond all praise, several of whom, on the alarm being given, were near the spot, and rendered the poor sufferers great assistance. The cause of the fire is at present unknown. It is needless to add, that the parties were too poor to have insured. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT MARGATE.-011 Friday evening an inquest was held at the Town Hall, Margate, on the body of Mr. James Steward, a retired officer of the navy, lately resident in Zion-place, in that town. The body presented a most horrid spectacle, one of the legs being broken, and the face horribly mutilated. Mr. Rosetti, oeMargate, on Thursday night was walking in company with the deceased and a lady on the Cliff, near the Jetty, where an exhibition of fireworks had been adver tised to take place. The deceased was nearest the Cliff, and had hold of the lady's arm. Witness suddenly heard a loud shriek, and the lady screamed in the most frantic manner "he is gone?' He looked over the Cliff, and saw the deceased lying on the beach beneath in a most muti lated state, his neck was dislocated. Miss Jane Creighton deposed that the deceased had led the party, in conse quence of the darkness of the night, too close to the edge of the cliff. He made a false step, and it was with great difficulty that she presented herself from sharing his fate. The Jury found that the deceased was accidentally killed by walking ,over the cliff. The deceased has left a wido.v . and a numerous family to deplore his loss. A MIDNIGIIT SERENADE.—We understand thati a lodger in one of the hotels of this city, on Saturday night was disturbed by a noise under his bed. He got up, and on examination found it to proceed from a box which ap peared to contain a livinc , animal. Nothing further was known on the subject until next morning, when it appeared from the noise within that the box contained a living rattle snake. It had been left, with some other baggage, by a traveller who lately occupied the room, and who left the city some days ago. The box was provided with holes to admit the air, and the snake occupied his snug quarters in quiet during the late cool weather ; but the heat of that night reviving his musical powers, his fellow-lodgers were complimented with a serenade. It would be proper that travellers who pick up such companions in their way, should have them labelled, to prevent mistake. A gentleman's baggage marked " Rattlesnakes—handle with care," would find some difficulty in obtaining accommodation in the pre sent crowded state of our hotels.—New York Advertis<r. i ---1 1678 ;: -S. HE SUN, LONDON, MONIDAY I SEI"TEMBETI, 28. 1835 MR. O'CONNELL AT GLASGOW. GLASGOW, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 23. This mornin g ; at ati early hour; Mr, O'Connell repaired to the Baptist H Chapel, in d ope-Atileet, to feeeiw an ad dress voted to him by the Negro Emancipation Society of Glasgow. When the readitig of the address was concluded, ascended d tall platform which had been el'eaed l 1116 htibagibli; afttl cortimetieeci an address, which he extended to tonsiderable'length, and in which he discussed every. triple to.nnected With the subject of negro slavery. Tie *ished to iliipresia tiPon the meeting the ne cessity of urging upon the Legislature the immediate abo lition of the apprenticeship. Alluding to the Americans, the Hon: and ,Learne#l Genpanianol?served, that in conduct towards the slaves they Were iila;taii!tt.4tht , . tqtrm,of human liberty, foul detraoors of the democratic principle. and blasphemers of.that great and sacred name which they pretended to FB6Bg.filAC:-;;;-(4Pplaii0e) in reprobation of that • disgraceful conditet his voice had been heard atra§g the tide and deep Atlantic; Like the thunder-storm in its strength tart it had efed against the brecie; afttied sOtit the lightning of Christian truth.—(Applause.)

And oh, — but perhaps it Wa§ hIS Bride that dictated the hope—that some black O'Connell might arise attlaiig the Slaves--great would Agitate, agitate, agitate," till the two millions and a half of his fellow-sufferers learned the secret of their strength learned that they were two mil lions and a hult--(Grcat applatisq The conclusion of the tin. and Learned clentleman s ObSdrittitltiO Were listened to throughout with a breathless attention. After a few observations from . the CHAIRMAN, the meet ing broke up, and Mr. O'Connell returned to his Hotel, to partake of some refreshment before he set out for Paisley, PAISLEY, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. Mr. O'Connell arrived at Paisley between one and two o'clock, and was loudly and heartily welcomed by many thousands of the•inhabitants. He proceeded at Mtge to the Old Low Church, which was crowded in every part, although sixpence a bead was demanded for admission to the area, and three pence a head to the galleries. Provost Hardie presided, and Mr. Pearson read the address which had been prepared for the occasion. Mr. O'CONNELL then ascended the reading desk, and addressed the meeting for nearly two hours. His speech consisted chiefly of the same topics that he had previously discussed at Glasgow and Edinburgh. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman discussed at considerable length the several topics of Irish Church Reform, Triennial Parlia ments, and Vote by Ballot, all of which he said would be easily obtained but for the perverse conduct of the House of Lords. In conclusion, the Hon. and Learned Gentle man recommended the meeting to petition Parliament on the subject, " and your petitions," said he, " may be signed by females as well as males ' • for why should the lovely young women of Paisley be prevented from petitioning against the old wives in the House of Lords."—(Great laughter and cheering.) After votes of thanks to the Provost, Mr. Speirs, and Mr. O'Connell, the meeting, in which the utmost order had been observed, quietly dispersed. Mr. O'Connell immediately afterwards left the town, and took the road to Kelly House, the scat of Mr. Wallace, M.P. for Greenock, where he. is expected to remain for a couple of days. GREENOCK. (From the Greenock Advertiser of Thursday.) This day, at half-past three o'clock, Mr. O'CONNELL ad dressed a meeting of the inhabitants from a hustings erected in Kilblain-square. He came from Kelly House in com• pany with Mr. Wallace, and was met at the toll; on the Low Gourock-road, by a processiosi of the trades with 37 flags. On the Motion of Bailie STEWART, Mr. Wallace was called to the chair, who, in a short speech, introduced Mr. O'Connell to the meeting. Mr; IL INnt.Et rtatl an address agreed upon at the Tratits Meeting, after which Mr. O'CONNELL said he neter felt or experieticeti tuff; of entatie sitie he titst Net his lbt,t bii etittish ground,than he did now, for the moment had at length come when he could fulfil the dearest object of his mission, which was to thank the people of Groetfock for having sent a friend of Ireland, and of humanity, to the British Legislature.—(Great cheers.) Mr. Wallace was the only living Scottish Member who had never voted against Ire land. He had joined heartily in opposing the Infernal Machine of Lord Stanley, the Irish Coercion 13111. I-le hoped they would allow him to thank them, for he could never sufficiently thank their representative,, and from his heart he did thank them for sending to Parlia ment a true Wallace to fight the battles of Ireland. —(Loud cheering.) Passing from this topic, upon which he could exhaust language, without expressing a millionth part of what he felt, he said he was glad they had called this meeting a " demonstration," for such it really was, of their determination to work upon the fruits of the Reform Bill, and to prevent an Oligarchy of one hundred and seventy Lords from being the masters of the British nation. There was not one sentiment in the address, nor one topic of improvement to which it alluded, with ich he did not only agree, but he pledged himself to advocate to the utmost. The first topic was the extension of the suffrage, and he held that every man who obeyed the law had a right to a voice in the choice of the Representatives who were to make the law. But what chance was there of this so long as the House of Lords stood in the way ? He was in favour of shortening the duration of Parliame n t s ; for they had the authority o a proverb, that short accounts kept long friends.—(Laughter and cheers.) And when a man knew, that he would, ere long, have to face his consti tuents, ho would he careful what he did behind their backs, that they might have one act with which to reproach him on meeting them. The constituents were their masters ; and another proverb said that the masters eye fattened the horse—a saying which had a' meaning in reference to more things than horse flesh.—(Continued laughter.)— Another . proverb said,' " if you want a thing not done, send ; but if you want it done, go yourself." Now they went themselves when they made their representatives come to them, and render an account of their conduct. (An old man here called out something about the O'Con nell tribute, but he was very promptly called to order. Mr. O'Connell himself very politely requested that he would wait till he was done.) He was decidedly in favour of vote by . ballot, without which they would never have honest votin g . They might, indeed, in a manly place like Greenock, do without this, but never in the counties. The Scottish burghs had done well; only one Tory, Mr. Cumming Bruce, having been returned by them. But the counties had returned a good many, and this neigh bourhood had some of them too.—(Laughter.) A Tory might he an honest man, but he could not be a clear sighted one ; if well-intentioned, he was merely a good natured blockhead.—(A laugh.) Some, however, were neither good-natured nor fools, and, therefore, they might, with much propriety, be called rogues. Perhaps they did not know that the meaning of the word Tory meant a rogue, and not only so, but an Irish rogue.—(Continued laughter.) The Tories had of late been rather shy of this name, and called themselves Conservatives ; but he thought it would be best, after this, to call them by the more short and appropriate name.—(Laughter and cheers.) He was in favour of the ballot, for it would put a stop to all threats ; for they would threaten in vain, when the landlord could not know how the tenant voted, nor the merchant how the shopkeeper gave his suffrage. It would also put a stop to bribery, for even if a man was rascal enough to take a bribe, he would also be scoundrel enough not to earn it.—(Cheers.) He was glad the address al luded to Law Reform, a subject Which their Representa tive, though a layman, had done more to effect, than any other Member of the House. He had attempted to clean that Augean stable, and a filthy stable it was. He would ask how it happened that the inhabitants of a nation like. Britain, who had taken the lead of all others in literature, science, arts, and arms, should submit to the continuance of a system of law, so complicated and absurd, that a man, however well informed and intelligent, could not under stand what he was doing, but was obliged to have recourse to a conjurer like himself (Mr. O'Connell) on the most simple question of jurisprudence. He congratulated them on having, in their Representative, one of the most assi duous Law Reformers, who had eagerly laboured to have law made conformable to the principles of common sense.—(Cheers.) In all the other points to which the address referred . he completely concurred ; but still he would ask them what chance there was of having them car ried, so long as the Lords stood in the way to stop every measure of salutary improvement ?—He differed with the phraseology of one port of the address. He meant that which expressed a desire for such an alteration in the system of taxation; as would prevent the labouring man from paying more than is due share. He thought they ought to pay no share at all. The burdens of the country ought to be thrown upon its property, and all those, to whom God had given nothing but the power of labouring, ought go free.—(Cheers.) All the necessaries of life ought to be untaxed. Malt and Corn ought both to be free. It was a crime—a monstrous injustice, to tax corn. It de prived the mother of the loaf which she ought to have had to bestow upon her children, and make rich the land lords at the expense of the working classes.—(Loud cheers.) The Lords, however, would not listen to them on any of these points, and, therefore, he (Mr. O'Connell) had been travelling through' England and Scotland preaching at the Lords, and endeavouring to intro duce the. system of representation_ into that Ho se. SOMQ 4 however, s a id " W e h av e reformed the House of CO9II'6OIIE, and surely that is enough ;" hosakl it was only doing one half of the work, and Scotsmen, be felt as- o' surcd, would never rest satisfied with a half done job— they would not be content to have their work botched. Mr. O'Connell then went on to ridicule, in the terms he used elsewhere, hemlitary legislation—and asked if any man out of Bedlam would employ a man either as a tailor or a doc tor, simply because his father had been one of these. He then mentioned the various Bills which the Peers had had thrown out during the last session of Parliament, many of which they agreed were good, both in principle and detail, simply because they had the support of one— Daniell O'Oonnell.—(Latighter and cheers.) He bad told the peOple of Glasgow, while alluding to this subject, that he bad foetid d +lay to get them to pass such Bills as he :'nproved of, and that Wag to declare himself hostile to thot s an d , ; ,;;:Tared conduct to that of the pig driiigu tr Poimiryinan of own, which was persuaded to go to one town by tiii3 lielieve it was going in an opposite direction. The wfiCh! trw . isr.llol,;:yer, was too sad to be made the subject of a joke ; tr. 4 be ie;;, perfectly perseaded that it was hopeless to look for any good measures till there should be a Reform of the House of Lords. This was the point to which all their ex ertiOni blight to be directed, and he hoped the Political Unions, at the head at rthicl) his friend, Mr. Wallace, had so frequently figured, would agglu wisitate for its accom plishment, But, above all, let them re - Member Ireland. The Irish Members have never been backward wlitsu any measure beneficial ie Scotland was in progress, and be could assure them that if now they could secure the liber ties of that unfortunate country, they would never find its represetitatites ungrateful. Let them,rally together to put down the Lords. He then referred to the Irish Church, and asked if it was right that 7,000,000 of people should pay for the religious instruction of 700,000 ' I f they we r e asked to pay for another's butcher or baker, they would laugh at it, and lie taw not that it was a bit more unrea sonable to compel one to pay for the fattening of another's body than for the cure of_ his soul. It was , however , in vain to try to carry this on any longer. Paddy had a trick - of not paying when he had made up his mind to it.—(Loud latighteb) What was then to be done ? They carry him to law---Paddy won't pay. They send the Police—Paddy won't priy. They send for hone; foot, and artillery, and shoot them by the dozen, but still the won't pay.—(Laughter.) And why do they not pay 1 Solely from a sense of the injustice of demand made upon them. (He then, in the same terms as he had employed in Glasgow, gave Widow Ryan's descrip tion of the finding of her sons's body after the slaughter of Rathcormac.) heSe thine ought not to last, and he was happy to say, in his progress through Scotland, from Ber wick to Greenock, he had heard one shout after another which assured him that they would not last.—(Great cheer ing.) He thanked them for the assurance which that cheer gave him of their agreement with him in opinion, and he would comfort the hearts of the people of Ireland on his return, by telling them of the sympathy felt for them by the people of Scotland. Many a noble Scot§dlett, since he came to this country, had grasped his hand, and by the ex pression of his tduntenance before he spoke, assured him that he deeply telt for the wrongs of, Ireland. For this, Irish children would lisp their prayers for the unconquereci people of Scotland, who had baffled their Roman and Saxon invaders, and driven back with defeat England, when in the pride of power, she attempted to enslave them.—(Great cheering.) He urgently desired their assistance to achieve a victory over the House of Lords. lie then alluded to what had been said of the House of Lords, as an ancient institution, and stated that fish oil and the distaff were both ancient, but that was no reason why gas and the spinning jenny should not be preferred. His was purely a mission of peace. He preached no vio lence ;he preached no turbulence. He never saw any good proceed from them, and far less from bloodshed. He was a disciple of that sect which believed in the resistless power of moral influence for effecting all necessary im provements. He thanked them for the kindness of his re ception—for the patience with which they had listened to him, and in particular be thanked them for the representa tive whom they had sent to parlirment. It was delightful to think that under the auspices of a Wallace, the work of freedom was still going on. "Wha' wad lie it traitor-knave ? Wha' wad fill a coward's grave ? Wha' sae base as be a slave ?'! Nest one, he was sure, of those who now surrounded him. This was the wet-song of Wallace, and ought to be the motto of Greehoeli, Their Representative inherited the blood, and followed in the footsteps of that great man, in a intlfe peaceful sphere, for the times bad changed, but with the same unconquerable love of freedom, and willing, if ne cessary, to meet the same fate.—(Great cheering.) He concluded by again telling them of the gratification which the results of his Scottish visit would confer upon the peo ple of Ireland. Mr. O'CosINELL had no sooner ceased, than from ano ther hustings erected at a short distance, Mr. John Orr, whose ministrations on the streets we have more than once laid before our readers, begun to hold forth. He had barely time, however, to exclaim, " Hear the Word of the . Lord," tylien he was saluted with tremendous shouts. He conti nued to gesticulate, but nothing could be heard, and lie was pushed off the hustings with a flag-staff, and was ulti mately marched away under an escort of police officers. A vote of thanks was given to Mr. Wallace for his con duct in the Chair. Mr. WALLACE then said, they had heard a great deal of instruction since they met together. He was sorry to say that he felt he did not deserve the compliments which had been paid him, but he would endeavour to deserve them. The procession then escorted Mr. O'Connell to the Tontine, from which he soon afterwards set out for Kelly, in company with Mr. Wallace. DINNER TO MR. SERGEANT WILD BY HIS CONSTITUENTS AT NEWARK. ( Abridged from a Morning Cotemporary.) On Friday Me Blues of Newark gave a dinner to their highly-esteemed representative Mr. Sergeant Wilde, whose name is now become identified with their cause by reason of the strenuous and finally successful efforts made by that gen tleman to rescue them from the political thraldom of a New castle, whose only rule of domination consisted in that pithily expressed, but, to its author, somewhat fatal interrogatory— " May I not do what I like with my own." • The chair was taken by Wm. Dobbs, Esq. ; on his right were Mr. Sergeant. Wilde, Joseph Humphries, Esq., T. H. Massey, Esq., Northouse, Esq., and others ; and on his left, James Norris, Esq., the Rev. Mr. Parry, Thomas Gilson, Esq., and others. Two sons of the Learned Ser geant, Claude and Montague Wilde, and Charles Wilde, his nephew, were also present. Upwards of 170 persons sat down to dinner, about 150 of whom were electors. The following- toasts were then proposed by the Chair man : • ~ "The King ; and may he never forgetshe principles which placed his family upon the throne."--(Musical hurrahs by the professionals.) • " The Queen; the amiable consort of our beloved Mo narch."—( Subdued cheers.) "The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria, the heiress presumptive to the throne, and may she be an example to future ages."—( Enthusiastic cheers.) " The Mike of Sussex; the ornan.ent of loyalty and friend of liberty".—( Rapturous applause.) The Cliainmat4—l give you without further preface, Thomas Wilde, Esq., the Liberator of Newark, and the consistent Advocate of Constitutional Reform."—(Tremen dous cheering for several minutes.) Mr. Serjeant WILDE returned thanks in a speech that occupied two hours and a half in the delivery. Gentle men (said the Learned Sergeant) Sir Robert Peel's late speech at Tamworth is a very remarkable one. To read it off one would be apt to think it a good and candid speech ; but read it deliberately, and it will be found dealing as much in generalities as possible. He says he came into office actually to carry into effect the measures the former Government had contemplated ; he took it for granted, therefore, the House would support him. But if this were so, for God's sake why turn out those Ministers.—(Cheers.) What does this admission disclose ? Does it not show that it is a contest to try whether the Tories shall again take possession of office, and perma nently administer the patronage and power of this coun try ? Does it not prove that the Tories are willing to get possession of power and patronage upoil nay terms, aye, aye, even on the terms of carrying measures which they had always hitherto opposed ? Sir Robert Peel says. " If I had been permitted to state in detail my mea sures, I have no doubt the country would have been satis fied !" What prevented him from doing so ? He was turned out, ho says, before he bad an opportunity to give details. Quite the contrary. He was turned out because be would not give them. In short, the Tamworth speech is full of fallacy, and of most incorrect representations of -the state of almost every public question. Sir Robert further says, " I was sure of support to my Whig measures ; and as to the Radical party, I was quite sure they.would never unite with the Whigs in opposing me." Indeed ! What did they ever differ with the Whigs in ? Did they ever deny that reform was required up to a certain extent ? They differed only when the O'Connell party wished to go beyond what the Whig party thought wise and safe. When I look at this late speech of Sir Robert Peel, I cannot discover any son why Ile should not have detailed his intended measures, but two ; first, if he had told what his intended measures were, in all probability they would not. haV'e satisfied the country ; and secondly, it is not convenient, when out of office, to tell what may be your acts when you come in. Sir Robert said he would give Corporation. Reform, founded on justice. What is his measure of justiCe? Let me see if I can find it. Lord Lyndhurst was his Chancellor, and the Duke of . Wellington belonged to the Cabinet ; surely we need not be at a loss to know what Would have - been the measure justice in llis (Sir Robert's) corooratier r • reform. His measure of justice would have consisted in keeping up the old corporations, in order to corrupt the new. lid alto would give you ecclesiastical refornv—pre cisely what is not stated ; but when, think You, he would have given it to you ? I suppose at the millenium, for his words are "in proper time.' When the time would be proper in the opinion of a conservative, no prudent man would venture to predict. The lion. and Learned Ser geant then animadverted upon the very inadequate mea sure of relief proposed by Sir R. Peel to be afforded to the Dissenters. He considered no measure a relief which left the Dissenters in a state of degradation. He demanded for them the most perfect equality in civil rights. Sir R. Peel is now out of office ; but be assured (said the Learned Ser geant) if you do not support the present Government, he will speedily be rarttmg you again. There is no want of disposi tion. The Tories hate been a little hasty this time, but no doubt they will manage their affairs better the next. The HOtiOliTatity and Learned C:entleman, again adverting to the Cotporation Reform Bill, observed that it might have been more shaple and efficient ; stir it was quite as good a 4 the Ministers had the remotest prospect of passing. After statit:g the course taken by Ministers prev:ous to bringing in the Bill, and the progress of the measure through Parliament, he said that he was satisfied the House of Lords never intended that the Bill should pass at all. But he thought the Bill was of immense importance, as it would break up the association between the corporations and the .aristocracy. But the Bill was not only valuable as, a reform Measure, but as a conservative measure. No means were so well calculated to put an end to meetings of large masses of the population as the formation of town councils. But (continued the Hon. and Learned Gentleman) to what has that measure given rise ? We are undoubtedly ar rived at a fearful crisis. We have had a very serious contest with the House of Lords. We are about to meet again—whether to renew that contest, I cannot say ; but at least we have arrived at this point—the Commons and the Lords do not merely differ as to the character of individual measures, but, according to my opinion, we have arrived at the point when the two branches of the Legislature have determined to legislate upon totally distinct principles. It is said you must reform the House of Lords. That is easily said ; but any Government that shall bt.: established on the principle of reforming the House of Lords, will find it no easy thing to accomplish. I have considered the sub ject, and the result of my consideration is, that it would be impossible, though that form of the legislature may be open to many objections, to form any other less objection able. It seems to me, if you only remove from the Lords all exclusive objects, you have the most useful second branch of Legislature that can be devised. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman then adverted to the importance of Reformers confining themselves during the next session to measures of real practical good, upon which they were all agreed, and not to embarrass the Government by bringing forward va rious minor propositions, upon which a difference of opinion existed.—(Great cheering.) Other toasts were drank, and the conviviality of the meeting was continued till a late hour, when the company retired amidst mutual congratulations on the success that had attended their united exertions in the general cause of Reform. LORD JOHN RUSSELL. BATH, SErf. 25,--The deputation appointed by the Taunton meeting to preitent an address to Lord John Russell, consisted of Sir Thomas Lethbridge, Bart., the Rev. W. P. Thomas, Drs. Blake anal Kinglake, J. Snow den, R. King, A. Crosse, J. Beauchamp, ao.d J. Bunter, &c., Erqrs. They proceeded on Wednesday ia...st to the residence of the Rev. Sydney Smith, at Combe EPreY, where Lord J. Russell was on a visit. His Lordship returned the following answer : " Gentlemen,—l beg to return you, in the name of my col leagues, as well as in my own, our warmest thanks for this mark of your approbation and regard. " The support and confidence of the country, which are at all times necessary for the successful administration of affairs, were at no time more required than at the moment when Lord Melbourne was recalled to the service of the Crown. "That confidence and support have been, I am proud to ac knowledge, generously and largely given to the present ad visers of the King. " It has been our endeavour to combine the progress of use ful and practical reform, with the maintenance of our institu tions,- the continuance of tranquillity at home, and the preser vation of peace abroad ; nor do I see any cause for hesitation, far less for despondency, in the prosecution of that en deavour. No authority, however venerable—no power, how ever established—can long long resist among us the force of public opinion when enlightened by discussion, and matured by deliberation. I trust that the provisions of the Act which has just passed for regulating Municipal Corporations, will lay the foundation of many improvements in the management of Corporate funds, in the administration or justice, in the maintenance of order; above all, it has the inerii of substituting popular re presentation for self-election, in the go vernment of our towns. It is a change, of which the consequences will be felt exten sively by the present age, and remotely by posterity." s SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HEATON PARK RAGES, FRIDAr.

THE HARVEST IN WALES. —Much injury has been sustained in North Wales, in consequence of the wet and tempestuous weather, having now continued during three weeks. In the upland parts of Montgomeryshire, Merionethshire, Flintshire, Denbighshire, and Carnarvon shire, the greater part of the corn crops is still not har vested. Much that has been harvested is in bad condition. Between Ruthin and Wrexham several fields are not yet reaped, and lamentable is the condition of numerous fields of oats and barley that , have been cut many days, but are still ungathered. Near Oswestry race-course eighteen acres of barley are =gathered. A warning to farmers, in a fickle climate such as that of Wales, not to neglect the advantage. of even one s unny day, occurred last week near Maent. wrog. A large field of barley was ready to be carried to the stack-yard, but the farmer was anxious that his team might earn a few more shillings by carting slates from the quarries ; the consequence was that " the rain descended and the fllods came" -----the river overflowed its banks, and the farine4ks's crop was f i P ltirely swept away. — Shr ewsbur y • aronicle. t .~ FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. SPAIN. THE MADRID PRESS ON THE • OPINIONS PRES I; EN O T E OF THE COUNTRY., .1. tte of September 18.) (From the Madrid Gaz.:. The exposition of the Minister f Finance to her Ma jesty the Queen Regent , graciously teet,lived and adopted by the supreme authority , contains an entire system of go vernment, for it comprehends elements most e'ssOtial and necessary to our present situation—to wit, the throne of Isabel 11., the fundamental laws, the union of the Spanish people, the homogeneousriess and responsibility of fhe Mi nistry, and the termination of the fratricidal war which now afflicts the country, without other than national means ; enshrinement in wise laws of the rights which emanate from the very essence of representative government, and which serve for its support ; the definitive and honourable settlement of the situation of the individuals belonging to the corporations of regulars, and the creation of the public credit. Indeed, it appears to us that not one of the vital questions which now agitate European society is omitted to be touched upon in this programme. It has been by some objected to this exposition that it ; 6 nit sufficiently detailed ; but in a document of this sort, in a Ventral declaration of policy, it is impossible to descend to pa-rtiodar.:. It is enough, if it manifest the tendency and spirit, ‘ o,lcil is to animate the Government in all its operations. The nail ieularity, the absence of which is com plained be the, object of the laws about to of, will natural ) y . be proposed nod discussed, And when the time arrives, the subject matter of those laws Will be analized even in its most minute bearings. As a general principle, it is right to draw a distinction between the end of Government and its ;nodes of action. It is a duty to declare the first freely and wiihdistinctness —as has been done—though in no greater d egr ee than to satisfy those inclined , to join the Government will be di rected. Hence the promulgation of the programme of the policy of the Government, before the complete for mation of the Ministry. It is considered necessary that the immediate agents of supreme 'power, should under stand the line of policy adopted, and the end to which all the operations of the Government are to be directed, before they form a part of 'the Administration. It is indispensable that they should know the feelings of the Throne, before connecting themselves with it ; for such is the distinctive character of representative Governments w here the system of policy is first declared, and is followed by the selection of men whose opinions coincide with the spirit and 'tendency of the declared policy. But truly, while as yet all the members of the Government have not been brought together, and while one of them, indeed, is employing in the Basque provinces his eminent services in our cause, it is impossible at the present moment to publish a detailed programme of policy, or to perfect the work of Ministerial organization, which, even in countries further advanced in the career of politics, demands a deliberate and impartial consideration of circumstances and of men. The modes of action, that is, the particular measures and laws which have to be adopted, in order to insure the de sired end, cannot be struck out on a sudden ; nor do they exclusively depend on the Government of her Majesty ; for though they confide, and justly confide, in the assurance of their propositions meeting the approbation of the Cortes, with regard to those details the declaration of which is de sired, there may be so much divergence of opinion as to render indispensable the modification of their measures, if not in essentials, at least in points of minor importance. And how can a Government provide against all these mo difications ? Simply by not descending to particularize, nor offering, nor pledging what it is not certain of performing or fulfilling. The Government of her Majesty is firmly resolved to ad; up to its programme, and this assurance should satisfy those who are friendly to the throne of Isabel 11., 6:pub lic liberty, and the prosperity of the country. The means of carry in these principles into effect will be developed g and discuseed as the Ministry advances upon its difficult but glorious career. The maintenance of the public cre dit will be the paramount and constant object of the thoughts and cares of M. Mendizabel : versed in those difficult combinations which now-a-days form the ground work of the political porver of nations, he trusts that .the experience of the twelve years he has passed in England and France will not be found unserviceable to his coun try. Public credit, like a timid (I;unsel, flies the presence of disorder and licentiousness, and iziggard of its gifts, dis tributes them only where union, concord, and the mild em pire of the laws prevail. (From the Journal des Debats, and apparently written by M. Thiers.) It would be difficult to specify in what manner the pro vincial movement, which has determined the formation of the new Ministry, has even conduced to an extrication from the difficulties amidst which the Queen's Government seems to us placed. If even we compare the condition in which M. Martinez de la Rosa left affairs, on resigning, with that in which M. Mendizabel finds them, the comparison will certainly prove favourable to the former, though the war was not prosperous in Navarre and Biscay. We think that M. Mendizabel may succeed in his task ; but it is a very heavy and uncertain one. The difficulty he already meets with in forming a Ministry proves it. It is avowed thai. among the men already - selected, or with whom negoti tions i i ,;,vebeen commenced, there exists rather a unanimity o f f ee ling k lian of system ; that is to say, that the happiness of Spain, liberty. the union of Spaniards, the august and in nocent Isabella 11., are spoken of with an effusion of the heart, but that no understanding has been come to as the practical means'of sec urin g that happiness, organizing dietliberty, liberty, and consolidating the throne. That is clearly owing to the arrogance of the juntas, against which a declara tion is impossible, and which must be induced to lay down their arms, since to disarm them, or censure them for having taken up arms, is not contemplated. Those Juntas, on the other hand, arc at variance as to the objects they aim at. M. Mendizabel's manifesto and expositions will be well re ceived by them, since those documents exclude nothing, and admit of any construction. It is when ay application of their contents shall be come to that we shall be able to judge of the Ministerial system, if any exist. However, we shall applaud the men that extricate Spain from the present chaos, whoever they may be. We had our own notion of Spanish affairs—our personal preferences and systematic predelictions ; but the independence of Spain has always been respected, both as concerns men and poli tical systems. Whatever may have been urged to the con trary, France has neither constructed .nor subverted any Ministry at Madrid. It is - a justice to be rendered to the able Ambassador to whom the interests of France in Spain remain entrusted. Though we have our doubts about it, M. Mencliza l ael is perhaps destined to restore the finances pf Spain, to fix with firmness the boundaries of power and liberty, to reconcile the authority and safety of the young Queen - t; Throne with the developement of her subjects' freedom. ?Such a rpcars to be his object, and it is our dearest wish. • The wak:s of affecting these objects are se condary points ; but Frakice: has a right to hope (and if it should be necessary, she vv,auN know how to prevent the contrary), that those means 0103 present nothing opposed to her interests and her policy. (From the Ministerial Moniteur du Commerce —a Journal under the controul of M. Guizot anti his friends.) M. Mendizabel is situated just like de Toreno, and is now compelled to oppose the untraetable supporters of the Constitution of 1812. It is attempted to explain, and represent as a mere omis sion, his, impolitic silence with regard to France, in his letter to the Queen. For our part, tine .do not put up with such an excuse in presence of the pompous culogium he has passed on England alone ; but the French Government will not abandon an allied and unfortunate people, launched by the manufacturers of co nstitutions into a deplorable anarchy ; and, in spite of M. Mendizabel's - admiration of a hazardous system of reforrit, founded upon Radicalism, we are far from a,ppreheutling that England would afford efficient assistance to a reform effected in Spain under the influence of the con stituents of 1812. We have warmly inveighed against the negative answer of the French Government to the formal demand of an intervention twice made by Maria Christina's Government ; yet, such is our conviction as to the necessity of that intervention, that we have threatened M. Mendizabel with France's noble vengeance, when he shall have ex hausted all his abilitiei in combating the two anti-national factions. That vengeance he will have to submit to, if he have to appeal to ti.o magnanimity of the allied Power, which he has so disdainfu-1y omitted to mention as an The ample of a generous , and, above all, a frez nation. day that Spain shall be a ble to e.njoy, under the shield of France, the slightest part of our liberiies, she will have re covered her rank in Europe as a nation, and to 14. ranee only shall she be indebted for it. The Fire-offices in London calculate upon one alarm of fire every day, and 32 serious fires every year. STRASBURG.—A violent storm has greatly in jured the magnificent cathedral of Strasburg. Columns were sheltered, and masses of stone torn off by the light ning-, fragments of which struck the neighbouring houses, and caused considerable damage. The cost of the neces sary reparations is estimated at 7501. sterling, A iet Com mittee has long been appoi nted to ascertain the propry of erecting a conductor to this beautiful edifice, which has been so often injured in th e same manner, and now, proba bly, their deliberations will be conclusive. During 1834, there were imported into Russia 300,000 volumes in foreign languages, which is . 20,000 more than in 1833.
