Mr. Nicholson, and other gentlemen who exerted themselves to get up the preliminary meeting held on Saturday last, on the subject of the distress of the inhabitants of the extensive district of Spitalfields, waited upon the Lord Mayor yesterday, for the pur pose of postponing the great meeting, of which notice had been given by paragraphs in the news papers. He stated that the gentlemen who had un dertaken to act had found it a harder task than they at at first considered it to be to get ready by Friday next, the day spoken of as the most proper to be appointed. They, therefore, waited upon the Lord Mayor with the following notice, to which they requested the sanction of his Lordship : " The distress in Spitalfields having been found to be of a greater extent than was in the first instance known to the gentlemen who are anxious for a general meeting in the City, it is considered expedient to postpone the meeting intended to be held on Friday next, to give time for the formation of Committees, and to enable them to collect the fullest information as to the nature and extent of the distress." " A number of highly respectable parties have already agreed to act upon the Committees, and their names will be advertised as soon as the list is filled up. " Subscriptions will, in the meantime, be most thank fully received by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." The LORD MAYOR approved of the determination to postpone the meeting, and expressed his belief that when it should be called, after the necessary preparations aad deliberations, it would prove to be one of great efficacy in accomplishing the object of the benevolent. Mr. NienoLsoN said that a strong feeling existed for relieving the poor, with whom the metropolis abounded, and he was sure that a vast deal more would be sub scribed than it would be necessary to distribute in the locality of which he spoke. When the father of our present Queen presided at a meeting for the relief of the general distress, an example was set which led to the subscription of two millions. The meeting upon the approaching occasion should be conducted upon the principle by which that to which he alluded was regu lated—complete freedom from party feeling. The LORD MAYOR concurred. in Mr. Nicholson's ob servations, and said that he would most willingly receive subscriptions until the day of meeting. BRITISH FIRE OFFICE. A general meeting of the proprietors of this Society, pursuant to advertisement, was held yesterday, at the Office, 429, Strand, for the purpose of declaring a divi dend. The usual routine business was gone through, and the meeting adjourned at ono o'clock. SIR JAMES GRAHAM AND SIR ROBERT PEEL.—I never heard Sir James and Sir Robert but once. It was when Sir Robert Peel was in office, and Sir James Graham was in opposition. George IV. was dead—but not buried. Sir James Graham chose that particular period to charge the Government, of which Sir Robert Peel formed a part, with fraudulently pilfer ing, for their own uses, some 80,0001. from the revenue connected with the West Indies. I shall never forget the indignation of Sir Robert at the charge, and " at the unmanliness of making it when the King laid dead in his palace." "It is too bad," three times reiterated the in sulted Baronet; and then he floored his accuser. I thought he had made an end of him. Row little did I then expect that those two Baronets would ever meet at the same Council-Board !—R.O.—Oastler'sFketpaPera. A breach of promise of marriage action, men tioned in the Globe a few evenings since, as ut t ying been brought by a lady, aged 18, against a gentlemen of ad vanced years, and in opulent circumstances, and in which the damages are laid at 5,0001., is made speci4l, and stands for hearing in the Queen's Bench, 7th December. The brief runs to 2,000 folios, and the case excites great interest. DOVER, Nov. 23.---(From our Correspondent.) Their Excellencies Sir Robert Gordon, Ambassador to Vienna, and Lord Burghersh, Ambassador to Berlin. arrived last evening with their respective suites, and proceeded this morning, in her Majesty's steamer, Widgeon, Captain Scrivens, for Calais. His Excellency General Sancho, appointed Ambassador to England from the Spanish Government, is expected here daily. Loss OF LIFE ON THE THAMES.—Yester day afternoon (Tuesday) about three:o'clock, the follow ing melancholy accident occurred in the river, close to Woolwich. It appears that W. Morris, of White Horse street, Stepney, with IL Jabez Partridge, both coal heavers, and who resided together in the same house, were em ployed by Mr. Pantsey to bring a barge of coals to Lime house, which they were doing, when Morris, who was assisting to scull the barge, let his hat fall into the water, Partridge caught hold of the hat with the scull, Morris attempted to reach it with his hand, in so doing be fell overboa rd, and almos t instantly disappeared. - GREAT FIRES.—The Moscow Gazette says, that the excessive heat which' has prevailed during the whole summer in the Government of Kiskama, has caused extensive fires in the forests, which continued till the middle of September, in spite of all the exertions made to stop their progress. FINE ARTS. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY IN LITHOGRA PHY.—HULLMANDEL'S LITHOTINT IL LUSTRATIONS. A most valuable improvement has been made in lithography, by a German artist, M. Hull mandel, which requires only to be known, to be generally appreciated by all who take an inte rest in the progress of the Fine Arts. Like most important improvements, it is extremely simple; but simple as it is, it has baffled for a long series of years the ingenuity of the ablest lithographers in Europe, some of whom pronounced it im possible, and the majority, impracticable. At i last, after twenty years' sedulous devotion to the subject, M. Hullmandel has obtained the desired results ; and as his discovery is one likely to revolutionize the whole art of engraving, as at present carried on, we subjoin his own in teresting account of it :—"Ever since the infancy of lithography, hundreds of persons connected with the art, have endeavoured to produce im pressions from stone, executed with the brush, in the same manner as drawings are made with seppia or Indian-ink. It was natural enough that artists should make every effort to super sede the tedious and elaborate process by which alone a liquid could be rendered avail able for the purpose of drawing on stone ; all attempts, however, at producing variety of tints by using the ink thicker or thinner failed, the fainter lines either disappearing altogether, or printing as dark as the thick ones. In the efforts made to use ink as a wash, the result was still more disastrous, producing only one dirty mass of indistinctness, amid which the original drawing was scarcely to be traced. I also, among hundreds of other artists," M. Hullman del goes on to say, " for nearly twenty years, di rected my attention to the brush style without success, until about a twelvemonth since, when the means suggested themselves to me of ob taining results which had been previously de clared impossible. The whole of the prints now submitted to inspection are executed with a brush on stone, in the same manner as they would have been drawn on paper, with seppia, &c. Hence in these impressions all the raciness, the smartness, and the beauty of touch are apparent, hitherto only to be found in original drawings on paper, the natural consequence of a process which enables the artist to produce his ideas as they are conceived. These impressions are, in fact, all original drawings, and not the concep tions of men of talent, transmitted by the en graver. That no question may arise as to the possibility of multiplying them to almost any extent, I may be permitted to add, that the present drawings had been printed to the extent of eight hundred, before these impressions were taken, without any perceptible deterioration."-- The importance of a discovery like this to the Fine Arts is incalculable, and we can imagine what magnificent works would now exist in the collections of connoisseurs and amateurs, had Rubens, Titian, Vandyke, and other great mas ters of art, been provided with such means of ex tending and multiplying their productions. The extreme beauty of the tints are not among the least remarkable features in the discovery. Such lights and shades as it enables the artist to give ! Such force and richness, and rare picturesque effects ! How admirably would it not have suited the purposes of a Rem brandt, with his deep, broad shadows; or of a Claude with his sunny, lustrous perspectives! We shall confidently hope to see the master pieces of Wilkie transferred, by means of this in vention, to stone, for nothing can give a more vivid idea of his broad forcible colouring, and those exquisite touches of character for which he is so remarkable. Imagine copies of his " Chelsea Pensioners," " Blind Fiddlers," and "Penny Weddings," equal, or all but equal, in truth and vigour of effect, to the original paintings—circulated by thousands among the people, and ornamenting the humble dwellings of our English and Scottish labourers ! Here will be a revolution worth looking forward to—a quiet, social revolution, not brought about by bloodshed or the strife of contending factions, but by the ennobling and beneficent powers of genius; and whose imme diate effects will be, to improve, refine, and elevate the habits of the humbler classes of so ciety ! But it is time to give some notice of the various Plates that are now lying before us. Here is a sketch from a painting by Harding, which possesses, by means of the artful distribution of its tints, and the spirit with which they are laid on, as much breadth and force as the original itself. The subject is a ruined castle, standing on a wooded eminence which forms the intermediate distance in the landscape; in the front ground is a bridge, over which some peasants are passing, and in the remote distance, blending their faint grey summits with the horizon, are billowy ranges of mountains. Nothing can surpass the bold ness and vivacity of effect visible through out this sketch. The rich foliage of the wooded heights is not stiff and formal, and wiry, as it is so apt to be in engraving on steel and copper, nor sooty, as we often see it in the ordinary lithographs; but waving, and rest less, as we find it in nature, and varying in its shadows. Just between the ground, in a level meadow at the base of the hill, and the lower branches of sonic massive full-foliaged oaks; a little pool of water is seen, glittering like a sheet of silver in the sunshine ; and the light here thrown in, is quite dazzling in its effect, and has not often been surpassed even by oils. In another Plate we have a view of the interior of a ruined cathedral, with its broken, mildewed columns strewing the ground, and the rays of an evening sun shining in through its Gothic windows, making desolation, if possible, still more desolate. Facing the spectator is a solitary individual who is busy digging a grave, and has just thrown up a skull, on which the sun's rays directly fall, giving a terrible reality to its ghastly whiteness. The old man seems well placed in such a situation; for he, too, is a ruin, as we see by his wan, decrepid figure, and the relaxed energy of his features, in which extreme age and weakness are most effectually shadowed forth. A third Plate re uprmebserangtseoau umbrageous, sylvan Glade—one sketches, wof which w oseh o u u sl v ie e d r. is ~ mans so loved to paint. A fine vista here visible through an opening in the wood, and the perspective is managed with the utmost adroitness. In the foreground, a tumbling brooklet is seen making its way in foam over small rocks and mounds of earth ; but otherwise, all is stillness—perfect stillness—the repose of the grave without its gloom. In a fourth Plate, we have a spi r it e d sea sketch, whose freshness and nature will in stantly remind the spectator of Rnysda e l and Vandervelde. A brig is scudding full sail before a brisk wind, while the risen waves are tossing her about, as if she were a mere cork on the wa masses, there broken' ter. What a spirit of life and animation breatheselouds throughout this fine sketch ! The shiftin g them_ ) s. detached fragments, • with gleams Illiperieuctoonhig,rieitg,ated in heavy tell us of sunshine bursting through that , it is a bracing, autumnal day, and that the vessel is making her way safely and rejoicingly, despite the mad waves that dash over ter prow. Of a far different character is the Plate representing a mother watching b the sick-bed of her child, which • y is as full of quiet pathos, as the sea-piece is of b • boisterous rejoicing. The room is lit only by a si • ngle rush-light, and the farthest corner of it is consequently in deep, black shadow. At the foot of the couch, near a table on which stand one or two physic bottles, is seated the solitary figure of the mother, h w ose face is turned from the spectator, but we can readily guess at its expression, when we glance at the features of the restless invalid, which seem worn down with pain and disease. The anxious parent evidently fears that the shadow of the Destroying Angel is already falling upon her child, else wherefore that crouching figure, that downcast head, and that hand spread out, as if in the agony of despair? We have mentioned some of those Plates that have most struck us by the skill and spirit of their execution, _but all of them deserve notice, for they are dashed l off with an ease and a freedom unknown, till now, to the lithographic art. Mr. l and most will gain great celebrity by them; deservedly so. for his discovery will be the mean s , ments ; and diffusing a taste for the 03 . of multiplying our intellectual Fine Arts, in their most unadulterated fort':, among thousands sterling, who hitherto have never devoted so much as a thought to the subj . eet When our leisure serves, we may perhaps take the opportunity of again referring to these Plates. DARING OUTRAGES IN HERT FOR. A long inquiry took pla D ce SHIRE before the Hon. Captain Hotham, and a full bench of Magistrates, at the Shire hall, Hertford, on Monday, into the circumstances of a daring assault and robbery, that took place in the neigh bourhood of that town on the evening of the 13th inst. In addition to the offence which was the present subject of inquiry, th e p art i es in custody were suspected of being concerned in another outrage of a similar character upon a gentleman named Fo r d, b e l ong i ng to the East nalnedinawCheonllengne hisat i ll va a y ile fr j o 'b ln ur n y, er u tf h o o rd was tn tshteopcnpendegeby, and knocked down and ill-treated by them. The proceed ings, in consequence, created a good deal of interest, and the hall was filled by the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood during the inquiry. The prisoners, Frederick Francis, alias Farley, Wil liam Aylott, alias Naylor, and William, alias Tucker Smith, were charged with feloniously assaulting and rob bing William Edwards upon the Queen's highway. The prosecutor, who is a veterinary surgeon, residing at Puckeridge, stated that about a quarter to six o'clock in the morning of Saturday, the 13th inst., he was riding on horseback, about a mile and a-half beyond Benger, on the road to Little Munden, when he came up to four men, and as he passed them he wished them a good night, and almost at the same instant one of the men seized his arms, and another dragged him from his horse and pinioned him to the ground, and one of them placed his hand over his mouth while the others rifled his pockets, and took from him some gold and silver money; and also a silver watch and some other articles. The men turned his horse loose, and when they had ob tained what they wanted they told him to go about his business, and they then went towards the town of Hertford. Having secured his hone witness proceeded back to Benger, and gave information of the occurrence. In answer to questions from the Bench, the prosecutor said he was positive that Aylott and Francis were two of the men who robbed him. He said that they both assisted to pull him off his horse, and when he was upon the ground Francis pinioned him while the others took the money from his pockets. He could not speak posi tively to the identity of Smith, but he had very little doubt that he was the man who first seized his horse. William Sheffield, the landlord of the Globe public house at Benger. proved that on the night of the rob bery the prosecutor came to his house, and informed him of what had happened. He was covered with mud, and his clothes were very much torn, and his pockets were turned inside out. Witnesses were then called, who proved that on the night the robbery was committed, the prisoners had been seen going in the direction of the place where it occurred. The prosecutor was recalled, and, in answer to a question from the Bench, he said that, upon being in formed by the police that some persons were in custody, on suspicion of being concerned in the attack upon him, he went to the police station at Hertford, and he saw all the parties separately, and he immediately identified Francis and Aylott. Mr. Knight, the Superintendent of the Borough Po lice, and Inspector Driscoll, of the Hertfordshire.Con stabulary, having proved the apprehension of the pri soners, the Bench were inform©d that this was all the evidence that could be produced on the present occasion in support of the charge. The prisoners then called some witnesses for the pur pose of proving an alibi, but the evidence was not of a satisfactory description, and the Bench ultimately re manded all the prisoners to the county gaol, in order to afford the police an opportunity to make further inquiries. MASONS' STRIKE. An adjourned meeting of the masons now on strike was held last evening at the Craven's Head, Drury-lane, for the purpose of receiving further Reports from the different delegates feom the Trades' Unions of the metro polis. Mr. BUTLER took the Chair at nine o'clock. Several delegates delivered in their Reports, all con taining resolutions still to support the masons in their present struggle. The SECRETARY then read the correspondence which has taken place between himself and different unions, throughout the country all eulogising the conduct of the masons, and embodying resolutions of the various so cieties to support them. Several members of different Unions delivered in their subscription papers, with the amount subscribed. Mr. LOVATT said he had a resolution :to move, that a deputation do wait upon the Members of Parliament for the City of Westminster, to solicit their co-operation to bring this struggle to an honourable conclusion. He moved this resolution, as charges, and those serious charges, had been brought against the public authorities, and the Members fur Westminster ►ere the proper par ties to apply to, to take the clatter up. Mr. DUNNING briefly seconded the resolution. He thought this was a course they ought to pursue. People must see the freshness and reality in a statement when that statement was founded on truth ; therefor?, they ought certainly to bring this subject before Parliament. The resolution, after a short discussion, was put and carried. A resolution was then proposed to the effect that two of the masons should be appointed as a deputation to at tend at the Westminster Hospital, to ascertain fully the facts connected with the man who had received an injury in the service of Messrs. Grissell and Peto, and who had been refused work subsequently by them. This resolution was also carried unanimously. We subjoin a list of the contributions received at this meeting:— _ Society of Tailors, Three Doves, 51.; Carpenters Ist Society, Marquis of Granby, Castle-street, Oxford street, 51.; from Wm. Wate, the sum of 175.; Mr. Alston, Painters, Horse and Groom, Great Portland street, 101.; Mr. Millett, Cabinet-makers, Bald-faced Stag, Worship-square, Finsbury, 101.; Messrs. J. Marsh and Baker, voluntary 10/. ; party of Jewellers, per Mr. Nettleton, 55.; men in Mr. Brassy's employ, per Mr. Aldridge, 10s.; Painters and Glaziers, New Coach makers' Arms, Long-acre, voluntary, 31.; a few Friends, per A. Hatton, 3s. Bd. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned at Half-past Eleven to Wednesday next, at Eight o'clock in the evening. Rubini, as we learn from Madrid, has been elected a member of the Acadamy of that capital in the Section of Music, and has had a grand dinner given him by that body. STATISTICAL SOCIETY or LONDON.--A full meeting of the Fellows of this Society was held on Mon day week at their Rooms, 4, St. Martin's-place, when a long list of donations which had baen received during the recess were reported. An abstract of a paper on the Burman empire was read, by which it appears that the population of the empire, which was computed by the old geographers in former years at 30,000,000, was, in 1826, only 4,230,000. On Monday last three hundred and fifty men and fifty women of the parish of Carrigera, and of the temperance body, assembled on the lands of Clonagh, near Newmarket-on-Fergus, and dug out and pitted a field of potatoes of seven acres, belonging to Thomas O'Donohoe, Esq.

It has been stated to us that no one of the name known as connected with the Money Market has had bills of this description in his possession, and there must be a mistake, therefore, in the description of the party. There is a report current that Mr. Young is about to revisit the glimpses of the foot-lamps, and to go through a round of his principal characters.
