SPIRIT OF . THE PUBLIC JOURNALS The ceuntry will have observed, with the utmost in dignation, the hhughty, the unreasoning, unrelenting intemperance with which the Lords have treated the concessions of the Commons, with reference to the, amendments in the Corporation Bill. Lord Lyndhurst seemed almost beside himself, while triumphing in his late achivements, at the head of the oliearchical band who have accepted him for their champion and leader. The paeeeetic nee) his talents, his political sin, - 7erity, honour. and ceesistencv. pronounced on the occasion —anti on such au occasion .f—by Lord Brougham. must have, indeed, been peculiarly grateful to his feel• inos I No remembrance of the past democrat, no dis gust against abilities prostitwed to the purposes of a e. party hostile to all the early prineHee _of Ceelee. seemed to haunt the memory or of end - the taste of Lord 13roug,hain. white he was ui) the incense offering , at the shrine of this new god of his idolatry. We are not among those. who have any wislr.ever to see the honourable enmities or rivalries of public life disturb the course of private friendship. But there are seasons for all things. And we; must say that any effusion of adulation more unsea sonable as to time, more uncalled-for, more abrupt, more invidious in its terms, more unexpected from the _ quarter whence it came, we never heard or read, than this laboured, eulogy of Lord Brougham upon the mutilator of the Corporation Bill , at the very moment when that person was exerting all his powers to insult and degrade the Commons of England. How, for instance, did lie treat the amendment, permitting the Council to elect Aldermen for six years instead of for life ? The alteration, in fe.,venr of the latter precious scheme, was confessedly his own Invention. His silly followers applauded and carried it. The Commons. rejected it unanimously. When the Bill went back_ he still persevered in his scheme, but his precious dis ciples abandoned him. Still he adhered -to his offspring, until he found there was nothing to, be gained by his - obstinacy, and eventually he yielded--not to the voice of the Commons, but to the opinion of one individual "for whose opinions he entertained the greatest respect ! " Insolence more unqualified than this has no example in Par liamentary history ; and yet this is the man whom Lord Brcugham thought fit at the very moment, to elevate upon a pedestal for the admiration of all ages ! Amidst the strange alterations which are going on in the minds of some public.men, and seeing the immi nent hazard to which the public cause is exposed at this moment—looking to the dangers which the re cess may bring with it when possibly another Tory Ministry may lord it over us for a few months, and plunge the country into fresh agitations by a new dissolu tion of Parliament—we think that the people and their faithful representatives have an extremely difficult duty to discharge. On Saturday we expresged without reserve our opinion on the clauses introduced into the Bill by the Lords, and drew attention -- more particu larly to the mischievous character of the alteration by which the recommendation of Justices is ta!ien froth the Town-councils. We remain of opinion, that , the most mischievous consequences must flow from • both of the clauses thrust into the Bill by the Lords ; and should the Tories contemplate a repetition of the - trick or November last, the no mination of about a thousand Justices, with power of licensing, may give them in a fresh election a e power by which the Reform interest may be deeply injured. In the course of Saturday and yesterday we had oppor tunities of learning the sentiments of several influen tial Members of Parliament on the great question which is about to be decided. Ought the Bill as it now stands to he rejected, and the original Bill to be reproduced in its integrity next session ? The lan guage which they generally held was—What events may not happen before next session ? How do we know what coalitions may not take place, with the view of depriving our present honest, stedfast e and popular Ministers of the station which they now oc- ' cupy ?-- - --A station, we are quite confident, which no man of high feeling would retain - one hour under existing circumstances, who was not firmly convinced that his retirement would be fraught with calamity to the empire. It is manifestly the hearty desire of the Lords that the Bill shotiM never become the law of the land. They have done everything in their power to render it unacceptable to the Commons. They have sccirned the idea of conciliation. They disdain a comprorDissie They have been obliged to abandon their amendraht retaining Aldermen for life. 'They approve of Sir Robert Peel's alternative of a 301. and 15/.4ateage qualification, becatise they think it narrows the door of entrance to the Council, still more than their 'own - proposal; and it would seem, from the speech of the Duke of Wellington, that even if one man had stood up in the Commons' , ''r keeping the Town-Clerks in their offices for life, that t 'eenendment, too, would have been obstinately adheied to. fe very thing short of these points which is capable of minis tering to corruption they retain—the construction of petty wards—the nomination by the Crown, under Tory advice, as they hope, of the municipal magis trates. 117 e understand that, according to Parlia mentary.-s it age, there cannot be another Conference between the two Houses with respect to the Bill._ It will be for the Commons to accept or disagree to the measure as it is at present shaped. If they accept it, then it goes hack to the Lords, where it at once receives the Royal Assent, as it has already passed that House. But if the Commons make any alteration in the Bill-suppose, for instance, they restore the expunged clauses relative to the wards and magistrates, then the Lords may deal with the Bill as they think fit. 'They may, if they choose, agree to the restored clauses ; but if they reject them, then the Bill cannot go back to the Commons. It drops, and there is an end to it for this Session. Should the Commons run the haz'ard, for the sake of the two clauses in question, of losing theßill altogether for the present? Is it probable, that if they restored these clauses, the Lords would be so anxious to carry the Bill as to agree with time Commons on those points which they have so doggedly disputed ? These are serious ques tions, and require calm end serious consideration. We know that the country is indignant at the proceedings of the House of Lords The people of England see that the Peers are determined 'that they shall derive the least possible benefit from the Reform Bill. They see that if that Bill have diminished the power of the Lords to do mischief, the Lords, on the other hand, have still the power of preventing. the CoM mons from doing good. Were the Commons indig nantly to reject the Bill, the people would, we have 110 douht, warmly applaud them. But we ought not to conceal from , ourselves that the great battl e which must be fought, lwfore we hope for benefieial legisla tion, is the Reform of the House of Lords. - This battle may be fought by peaceable or by violent means. Now, evet y lover of his country' and its happiness, must wish to avoid violence, and to cornbat the Lords by constitu.itmal means. The question then is, shall we be aided or not by the Bill, as it has been left us by the Lords, in the contest next session ? The Bill has been dreadfully mutilated, but still the opinion of those who have bestowed most attention to it, is that it is capable of effecting great and vital ameliorations in the Municipalities of this country ; and the principle of popular election is a vast 'advantage gained to the popular cause. That pitineiple is to pervade the whole Townthe entire - Council. There is a new land-mark acquired for libertvit is , an advance—and a very great advance—in the right course of freedom. Having gained thus much—if we take advantage of it—we shall, un doubtedly, still move onward. Whereas, if from feelings of mortification, we abstain from availing our selves of the facilities now within our reach, we shall be exposed to the danger of losing them, perhaps, for a series of years. Such are, we believe, the views of his Majesty's Ministers with respect to the Bill. We anxiously wait thee - ilk - 4i of the Commons upon the advice . whichl e Cnr JONife 't3sell will tender to th em . e • this evemng—atiVice whiClie*atever way be thought , of it in othwOespeetSeno lii; slit .

But in that fate the interests and tranquillity of this great commercial country must not be implicated. We must proceed agaiust those enemicS of our rights and privileges step by step, until we are prepared to over whohn them in the abyss which they have prepared with their own suicidal hands.—ilioratng Cluorizcle. Our Skurday's paper contained the striking and powerful speech of Sir IL. Peel nt Tamworth, on the day preceding. In this vivid and sinewy address was contained a happy exposure of the sort of league vamped up between the Whigs and O'Connell, the myna] compliments between which worthies in the King's speech two year.; ago, and in tire Derrvnane letters to Lord Duncannon, were quoted hv rile Right Honourable Baronet with no common effect. Robert further reminded his audience of what the country would and must have gained by the mea ,:nres which he had prinred for. Parliament on the -D:ssent-rs - quest;on, adjourned sine die by the Whi:!;; the Church of England Reform Bill, adionined sine die by the `Whigs—the Church of Ireland Reform Bill, rendered impractiCable by the Whigs—and the Municipal Reform, Bill, impassable through Parlia ment, as at first framed by the Whigs. On all, these questions let the profit and loss be calculated, and see what the nation has gained by the overthrow of Sir R. Peel's Government, and the intrusion of the Whigs, with their revolutionary associates, into power.— It would seem by the tone of the Ministerial papers, and the observations made in the House of Lords, on Saturday, by the Minister himself, that the last amendments 'of the Lords are not likely to give satis faction to the Commons. Arguing upon general prin ciples, and with reference to constitutional 'considera tions alone, the amendments re-asserted by the Lords appear just and reasonable. But there is another way of looking at the question—the way in which Minis ters look at most questions— that is, through the me dium of party and with reference to its possible in fluence upon their tenure of place. According to this calculation, it is apprehended that the Conservatives may by posSibility get the better of their opponents, or, to express the calamity in its full and formidable extent, get the places of their opponents, through a system of manceuvering of which the amendments are supposed to be the foundation. Under an impression of this nature,it is scarcely to be wondered at that Ministers should make a difficulty of agreeing to the proposed compromise. But will the House'of` Com mons go along with them in resisting it ? We cannot believe that such a mere party speculation will influ ence the Representatives of the people so far as to pro duce the long-looked for " collision " upon any such grounds. At all events, we will not believe it until it has happened. But a few hours will decide what no speculation can venture to do under existing circum 'stances—Morning Herald. The Parliamentary session about to terminate will be memorable for circumstances even more important than its unprecedented duration and the passing of the Corporation Bill. The principles of the English Constitution have not only rallied, but triumphed. The independent authority of the Upper House of Parliament, to the exercise and influence of which we have, in so many periods of our history, been indebted for the maintenance of our rights and liberties, has during the present session been asserted by its native and essential strength alone, and will, we confidently hope, be this night again virtually and significantly ac knowledged by the further and judicious compliance of the House of Commons with those salutary amend ments to which the Peers have wisely deemed it their duty to adhere ; and the propriety of which they know to be sanctioned by the opinion of the people. It is undeniable that in the late events there. is much to cheer the heart of every lover of his coun try, and every admirer of those ancient institutions which have alike formed, and sprung from, the na tional character ; and which, like all institutions founded on so sound a basis, are invested with a re markable and a happy power of adapting themselves to the wants and wishes of the society which they re gulate and protect. At present the people of England have a wiser trust in the practical wisdom of Alfred the Great than in the verbose and windy theories of Jeremy Bentham and his utilitarian disciples ; and as long asathis - be — the — ease we shall adhere to our laws, our customs, and our institutions. They have made this realm "the inviolate island of the sage and free," and we should be base fools indeed to de sert. our Constitution—ay, our still unrivalled Consti tution, for such we hold it, and to which we are in debted for all our famous liberty, and more "than Tyrian wealth, and blaze of intellectual glory. We are not ashamed in this cold-blooded, coxcombi cal nineteenth century, to praise the Constitution of England ; and, if all dared speak of it as they, deem, the good old times would soon re turn, when we were grateful to Providence for our flee and famous Constitution as for the beau teous and fertile land wherein we dwell. But se rascally rabble of - jobbing sciolists have of late Tears been distilling their leprous poison into the ungti7srded ears of our generation. We love our Constitution, we honour it, we cherish it, and we understand it. But as for the utilitarian sophists, who, for the last few years, in public and in private, in press and market-place, senate and saloon, have been gab bling against the institutions, and sneering at the wis dom of our ancestors— s they know nothing about the Constitution ; .they are absolutely in the dark respect ing the very subject they criticise ; every observation they make, when they descant on the English Consti tution, would apply as well to the Aulic Council, the. Hungarian Diet, or the Divan itself. We have seve r-al times of late taken an opportunity in this journal of exposing the flagrant fallacies which these persons make when they venture on the sacred ground they too often violate, and indulge in their constitutional com ments and criticisms. We have already destroyed the great " discovery" of the utilitarians, to wit, " the anomalous irresponsibility of the House of Lords," and on which blunder one-journal has lived for the last six years, and dinned the noisy nonsense every week into the ears of the lieges. It may truly be said of the Lords, that " Sutiday shines no Sabbath-day on them." This mighty discovery, we repeat—this pompous axiom, which is regularly enunciated with such prac tised complacency—we have already proved to le S no thing more than a big mare's nest, the Peers of Fig land not being one whit more irresponsible than the Commons of England. The next mischievous misre presentation that the utilitarians have taken much pains to pass current is that the House of Commons is " the people's House." But although this state ment has passed current it is nevertheless base, for as we have before slime', the House . of Commons is no more " the people's House" than the House of Lords. The third artifice of the revolutionary school is their abuse of the word " people" altogether. We have proved that all the elements of a great people are en listed in the cause of the Constitution, and in ana lysing the elements of the Conservative party we have demonstrated that, instead of a party, it is in fact a nation. So much for the utilitarians : they are miserable successors to the Girondists. But the utilitarians are deep enough for the Whigs, when the Whig Leader, who has written a book on the English Constitution, describes our most gracious Sovereign, in the assem bled House of Commons,oas one of the three estates of the realm. We venture to say that, considering the quarter from whence it emanated, this was the grossest blunder ever made in a Legislative Assembly. But it is a very instructive blunder, people of England —and we do not speak to the Peers and Commons merely, but to the whole people—this we say is a very instructive blunder for you.; for, by Lord John Rus sell's knowledge of your Constitution, you may judge of his ability to amend it. The man, who ie even now ignorant of what the three estates of tlsaerealm really are, was, five years ago, selected by th e Whigs to reform one of them: We are only sur prised that he did not fix upon his Majesty % 9 r niis tal:e. But to•day we are disposed to treat, the Whigs with lightness.

The Whigs and the Honsg of Commons have acted wisely ; they have done Drell ; very well, inched. Th-y have not suffered themselves to be misled by the rant anal riot of a party insignificant in po.•.nt of number—more insignificant in point of influence and talent. The House of Com mons will, we doubt not, accept this evening. all the important amendments -of the House of Lords, save one, and cue only, to the modification of . which the Lords have consented, in deference, not to the Govern ment, but to the wisdom; experience, and moderation of the eminent leader of the Conservatives of Eiujaiid, -Sir Robert Peel.—Morning Post. a difiiculty to pull it over my forehead the first night we came together. that I never tried it since.

The man and wife then (lop Irtel at it :toot' Of the course which the Ministry and the House of Commons. are about to pursue on the su)ject of the Corporations Bill, as again amended and mutilated by tiie House of Lords, we are utterly ignorlint. We disgteicd with the concessions which have been already made; and we fear that we shall be disgusted again by concessions more disgraceful, because re peated and swallowed unnecessarily • for the second time. Our opinion is, that there ought not to have been any compramise of any great principle involved in the Bill, even upon the occurrence of the first col lision of opinion ; and we groUnd this opinion, first, upon the ascertained fact that the House of Lords is hostile to all popular Reform ; secondly, that the : slightest compromise on the part of the Commons is calculated to flatter them into an exaggerated opinion of their own importance as a necessary branch of the Legislature ; and, thirdly, because any agreement to take ajhrthiag for the present, when full payment is all but certain, will terminate in baulking the creditor of his just claims, and is the most impo litic course which could be pursued. Our view of this matter may be wrong, and if so, the public.will deal with it accordingly ; but notwithstanding • that we arc aware that many true and sound Reformers are in clined to belicVe that the Corporation Reform Bill, even as amended by the House of Lords, would be a treat boon to the public, and be the means of not only going far towards the prevention of a dissolution, but of strengthening the power, and thickening the rank§ of the Reformers in the House of Commons, in case of any uncalled for dissolution, we must in justice to our selves say that after the utmost deliberation we feel bound to dissent from them. That it would be a boon, we do not deny—that it would strengthen the hands of the Reformers, we also admit ;. but time Reform Act itself is a case in point to prove that a great measure, once admitted to be law, is only susceptible of improve ment after years of discussion and struggle. The fifty pound clause in that Act—the Tory proviso, by the bye—still remains on the statute-book, and will re main, we doubt not, for years to come ; and what rea son is there, therefore, to hope that the equally noxious amendments of the House of Peers, if once conceded by the Commons, will be of more easy removal from it? In the case of all great abuses there ought to be but one motto for a reforming Ministry and a reforming people to back it—and that is—" Delenda est Car thago." Uproot the abuse, and make no terms with the enemy which do not include a total surrender of his pretended rights to the citadel.--Morning Adver tiser. HATTON-GARDEN. EXTRAORDINARY AND MYSTERIOUS CASE.—A ger tleman, about 28 years of age, who, from his appearance and manner, had evidently associated witli persons of rank. canie before the Magistrate, Mr.';'ENETT, in company with Mr. Flcwer, of the firm of 'Alderman Harmer and Co:.; to solicit advice under the following most extraor dinary and mysterious circumstances :—lt appeared from the appli can t' s s t a t emen t that shortly after the French Revolution of 1792, his father; who was a Nobleman of that country, was obliged with his lady to emigrate to England, where he continued to reside for several years. having at length made his peace with Napoleon, he re turned to Paris, but he was obliged to leave his wife here, some of her near relatives having given great offence to Bonaparte. The most 'ardent attachment existed between his parents, and his father used to take every opportunity to visit her secretly; and while she was resident in Lon don she gave birth to applicant and a daughter, but their existence was kept a profound secret, for this reason —that it should not be known her husband had quitted France, as by having done so he had rendered himself liable to be beheaded: or shot. At the age of seven he was taken from his mother (whom he had not since seen) to a school at Chelsea, and thence to one at Putney, where he remained a year and a half. He was thence ,removed to the house' of a well-known clergy man, and continued there for two years. At that pe : iiod, from some cause or other, a proposition was made to apprentice him to a trade ; but the Rev.' Gentleman sus . pecting that 'he was highly connected' by birth, declared that he would adopt him and bring him up, rather than allow him to be degraded. Through this determined oppo• sition the scheme was abandoned, and he was sent to a public school, from which he was eventually taken by the clergyman, who removed him to a College at Oxford, where lie took his degrees. His removal to Oxford was quite unknown to his Noble relatives ; but as soon as they be came aware of the circumstance, every expense was lavished upon him, through the hands of Messrs. Hoare, the bankers, by order of a Peer of, this realm (Lord -- and his Lady.) In 1826, applicant purchased a commission in the. British army, and held it until 1832, when he sold out, with a determination to devote his whole attention to dis cover to whom he was indebted for his birth, and the rea son he was debarred _from a communication with them. After the utmost perseverance, he ascertained, principally through a quarrel amongst his family, that his mother is now residing in Paris ; that his father is dead ; and that two sisters, who were, he believes, born before his parents took refuge here, had married two _of the French nobility, one / of whom is a Prince. Of his sister, who was born in Lon don, he could gain no tidings further than that she is at present alive, and her being kept . from him preyed more, heavily on his mind than anything else, especially when he had been given to understand, and had every reason to believe, that she was as hardly dealt with as himself. To his brothers-in-law he had lately made himself known by proceedings against them in the Courts of France ; but they pretended never to have heard of him before, and, still wishing to keep the matter secret, they had offered him a princely fortune to remain in the dark respecting his family. These terms he having indignantly rejected, his allowance from the Peer alluded to was totally stopped, and he thought the Magistrate could assist him by granting summonses against certain Noble persons, to compel them to produce docu ments to strengthen the foundation of his claim to patrimony in France, and, above all, to obtain an account of the dis posal of his sister. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, SEPTEMBER 5. Lord DENMAN took his seat on the woolsack at 4 o'clock. On the motion of Lord DUNCANNON the Consolidated Fund Bill, and the Militia Pay Bill went through a Com mittee without amendment. The Piers (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Workhouse Property Bill, and the Forgery (Scotland) Bill, were read a third time and passed. The Excise Incorporation ( Scotch) Bill went through Com mittee. Mr. BENETT observed that it was one of the most mys terious and remarkable cases he bad ever heard of ; and Mr. Flower said he would take upon himself to speak to the truth of the statement, adding that a vile conspiracy existed to keep the applicant from inheriting his father's property. Mr. BENETT said he could not see any ground to justify hind (Mr. Benett) in int*fering, and the only course that the applicant could adopt was that which Mr. Flower re commended, namely, indictment for conspiracy ; and at the same time the actions in the French Courts of Law for the recovery of his rights might be pursued. The applicant, Who was much excited, then thanked the Magistrate, and left the office. MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER, and other Me. - nbers, brought up the Sasino ( Scotland) Bill, and the Small'Debts . (Scotland) Bill. MUNICIPAL REFORM BILL. Lord ELLENBOROUGEI read the resolutions agreed to by the Committee of their Lordships appointed to confer with the Commons on the amendments made by that House to their Lordships' amendments to the Municipal Reform Bill. After reading the various resolutions, the Noble Lord said, the Committee had felt it their duty to add the following sentence to the Report:—" The L'ords participate in the anxiety manifested by the House of Commons to maintain a good correspondence and understanding between the two Houses, as of paramount importance to the public welfare ; the Lords are deeply sensible of the spirit by which the Commons have been actuated, and, in proof of their having been actuated by the same spirit, they have abstained from insisting upon many amendments which they thought necessary to the good working of the great measure of Municipal Reform, and they entertain a hope that, with the amendments made by both Houses, the measure may produce peace and contentment throughout the country, and good and quiet government in the towns." Viscount MELBOURNE said he thought it his duty to state, that having always opposed th e se amen d me nts con.• scientiously, he could not concur with the reasons by which they were to be supported. He maintained the very same opinions still, and he could not but repeat, that the insisting upon these amendments would be attended with consequences which all may regret. On the motion of Lord ELLENBORO LIG H the Report and Resolutions were ordered to be printed.—The House then adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. AN AGREEABLE HoNEYMoON.—On Saturday an el derly man, named Patrick Mack, was.brought before the LORD MAYOR, charged with having beaten his wife three weeks after marriage. Ellen Mack stated that she had for some years contrived to support four children which she had had by a former . husband, who died about three years ago. Her chief source of maintenance was the half of a lodging-house, in which she let beds to a couple of men, and also endeavoured to, accommodate a female or two who might be in want of a little sleep. The defendant had for some time inhabited the back garret, and she took him for a very steady sensible man, and when she gave, him to understand so much he made the most of the information, and prevailed upon her to change her condition once more. They were married ; but the defendant at once began to play off the airs of a su perior, at the same time - that he sat down and swore that he would never work while he had.one of the inferior ,spe cies to work for him. This was disagreeable enough, be sides another matter in which she experienced a heavy dis appointment, which she did not think proper to Mention ; hut Mr. Mack suddenly became jealous of one of her lod gers, and because she laughed at such folly and discouraged it, he struck her a blow under- her left eye that struck the fire out of it, and she had, never .been fit to be seen since ; besides which, he had sharPened a knife to cut her open, as he said, more easily.—(X laugh.) The LORD MAYOR—How could you, defendant, so brutally violate, your honeymoon ? Mack said he was ready to swear upon a thousand Bibles, that no man that had'nt the temper of an angel could put up with such con duct as he. had been obliged to bear. It was no more than the truth that he was a steady sensible man when he was alone, and he would have: continued so if his - wife had had common decency ; but - what could be expected froni a woman who would leave her house with a Don Pedro volunteer, they call Jack -I.3ubbs, and stay out drinking with him till two o'clock in the morning ? The LORD MAYOR—Is it true,, Mrs. Mack, that you left your husband for a f o ll ower o f D on P edro ? Mrs. Mack—l don't know what he had \ to do with my acquaint ances. The poor man Carrie to pay me money that he owed me, and I asked him to sit down, but Mr. Mack " u l t ra : receive him as Err acquaintance, so I was obliged to take him where pooplv Tyc,ren't so particular. I don't see what Mr. Mack had to do with that, Mack said that when his .wife returned from her enter tainment nothing would satisfy her but she must pull all t h e d ot ,h g pif his bed, and wrap herself up in them on the floor. - He was asleep at tliP liMe, and she stripped him so softly that he knew nothing about it till he awoke from dreaming that he fell into a ditch. He felt about, but the the e bed. floor.

Paddy% hear you."— (Great laughter.) The Loan MAYOR—I must acknowledge that this Is one of the most bitter honeymoons .I ever heard of. I am afraid, Mrs. Mack, you have been rather aggravating your h.usk)an4. Mrs. Mack—He's jealo;is mild fool, your Lordship ; and, I must say he's not the sett of perpn I wants. - - What right has he to make himself busy with my'friencjs . 9 Mack-,,,Why, please your Lordship sh - e was called twice in church to this very man that §he gE:!es to dream about ; tould me a word about him nor any body else, —4,4 49 Imarried her. All , I want is .5 ne but I've heard enoi.,, never to clap eyes on her again. Mrs. Mack—That's just what I want, you old foo.. See if you don't find it a hard matter to get on your night cap after this. Mack—By my sowl, you're quite right ; I found such DINNER TO LORD AUCKLAND. Saturday night a splendid dinner was given at the Albion Tavern, .Aldersgate-street, by the Directors of the East India Company, to Lord Auckland, previously to his Lord ship's setting out for that conntry on his appointment as Governor-General. Mr. Stanley Clarke was in the Chair. Among the com pany present were Lord Melbourne, Lord John Russell, Lord Minto, Lord Howick, the Chancellor of the Exche quer, Sir "John Cam Hobhouse, Lord Abinger, Lord Den man, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Palmerston, and a great number of Noblemen and Gentlemen connected with India. The company sat down to dinner at half-past seven. After " The King," " The Queen," and " The Royal Family," and the other usual loyal and patriotic toasts, the Chairman proposed " Lord Auckland and the Navy." His. LORDSHIP returned thanks for himself, anti for that branch of the public service with which he was connected, and which had uniformly had honour paid to it from all quarters. The CHAIRMAN then gave " Lord Hill and the Army." In his Lordship's absence, Sir RUFANE DONKIN, as his senior brother officer, returned thanks, and bore testimony to the . wise and munificent conduct of the East India Company towards its subjects. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " Lord Melbourne and his Majesty's Ministers."--(Drunk amidst loud cheers.) Lord MELBOURNE, for himself and his colleagues, re turned thanks. His Majesty's Government had much at heart the interests of all his Majesty's subjects, both at home and abroad. There was a good understanding be tween his Majesty's Government and the East India Com pany, -and he hoped it would long continue. There was between them the same reciprocity of opinion upon matters in general that there was in regard to the appointment of his Lordship to his present situation. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The health of Lord Auck land," which was received with loud cheers. The Court of Directors had selected him as one well entitled to the countenance and. support of his Majesty's Ministers, and they had observed with much pleasure the ardour with which he had directed his attention to the obtaining of in formation on all, the leading and useful topics connected with the Government of India. Lord AUCKLAND felt the compliment paid to him as an avowal of confidence in him, and as a demonstration of affectionate regard from his surroundinc , friends. He should leave his native country to which he had a great attachment, with many regrets ; but still he would confess 'he looked forward with great exultation to the new pro spects which bad been opened to him, as affording him an opportunity of doing' good to his fellow-creatures, of ex tendiog knowledge, and of improving the administration of justice, and extending good government to millions. What his course might he he could not say ; but he would at least endeavour to do his duty, and he was sure he would yield to none in a zealous and -assiduous attention to the interests of the Government with which he had been on. trusted. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of John Cam Hobhouse, President of the' Board of Controul. He returned thanks. Several other toasts were afterwards given, and the com pany separated at a late hour. THUNDER, STORM--- ,, During the thunder storm o f Friday week, the lightning struck the gable of a house in t h e parish of Wamphray, occupied by John Little. The said gable was thrown from the perpendieular,.and the whole family within felt the shock, althott:h they fortunately escaped, almost, it finny he said, without injury. In a "iglibouring plantation a tree was struck, and so sadly m utilated, that it is merely the ghost of what it was. At the farm- house of Lochwood, portions_ of the eleetrie fluid de .scended with a loud hissing noise, and fbr a moment or so the family were at e'ilOP petrified with terror, and placed in gre4 t4t possible danger. A few sheep were killed on the farm of Hazlebank ; and between Moffat and Dum fries, two persons who were travelling in a gig, became so stupified, as well as their &teed, by the sea of flame that flashed aroarid them, that both were thrown out by jolting, or some other'aceident, and as they rolled on oppo site sides of the road, were heard shouting as to one another's personal safety. Still these are trifles as compared to what took place on the llth current. About ten o'clock of the night, we believe of that day, two men, while driving a flock of sheep through the farm of by the parish of Applegarth, syere E.:Jr - qt.:l; to the grnund at the sank moment, and w ith no ono to a i d them, actually lay in a periloils trance till two o'cl oc k t h e next morning. At that hour they awoke, more like soon risen from the grave than persons refreshed by nattr4l AlePd, and when daylight dawned, discovered that out of the flock committed to their charge, 12 lambs had perished during the storm, none of whom exhibited the slightest trace as to where the deadly levin had done its The Willi Of the 21st seems to have raged with dread athned its of was A n k n i a l n l e d a d l o e n , w as at height, a eweh‘ivl h l e n n e a t r h G e itiuernnbic ful fury in every part house.—PunifriFs az(ricr, PRICES OF CANALS, DOCK Srl'oCN_t ASSURANCE COMPANIE ., , &c.
