TO CORRESPONDENTS. The speech alluded to by " A Constant Reader" was noticed with praise in The Sun at the time it was delivered. It was published as a separate pamphlet. ft - it _Sulu LONDON: SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1841. For a considerable time past the faction, which would starve others and fatten themselves, have been depreciating manufactures, and exalting agriculture, as the most proper and most healthy employment for the people. They have de scribed manufacturing towns as sinks of moral and physical corruption, in which both soul and body are destroyed. It would now appear, from an account which a Correspondent has sent us of the proceedings of certain Chartists at Halifax, that they have eagerly adopted the opinions of the Starvationists. A Chartist missionary at the meeting declared that his " object was to per suade the manufacturing population not to allow the country to be made the workshop of the world." A large portion of the meeting held up their hands for the Charter, and for stopping the progress of manufacturing industry. " Triumph, glorious triumph!" will exclaim the landlords; " they are considerate and rational men, not to be led away by the ' lies' and inflam matory speeches of the Anti-Corn-law League. We knew we could trust the good sense of the people." Not quite so fast, good landlords. The Chartists ire in love with your Arcadian pictures, and anxious to realise them. You have inspired them with a taste for rural enjoyments, which they will call on you to gratify. ' They are "to lirect their efforts to OBTAINING POSSESSION OF P. HE LAND IN PORTIONS OF FIVE OR SIX ACRES A PIECE," to which end they are to obtain the Charter, and then they will be able to divide the soil. The Tories have taught them to 'ad mire a rural life, and the profit of the Chart ists on it is, that they will have an agrarian re public. This is another of those almost spontaneous effusions of the public mind, arising from circum stances, of which the blame cannot be laid on the Anti-Corn-law Press. It hastaught no agra rian doctrine. It has advocated the progress of manufactures; it has implored, conjured, and supplicated the landlords to allow the population to flow into the towns, by allowing the manufac turers to find food and employment for them. The landlords have been deaf to remonstrance and reason, and have stopped the growth of the towns' by stopping the supply of food. In Parliament, and out of Parliament, they have vaunted the beauties and the superiority of an agricultural life, and would on no account allow, much leEks encourage, the extension of manufactures. They are likely to see their wishes realized; the people will not make England the workshop of the world, but they will cultivate the land for their own happiness. How beautiful will it look to see the goodly domains of Stowe, the nice grounds ofDrayton Manor, the undulating hills of Goodwood, the stately walks of Belvoir, all laid out in nice plots of ground of five acres each, with a hut, a garden, and a rosy-checked fa mily on every one—and all cultivated by the spade, and by the cheerful owners, compared to the dingy shops of Manchester and Bolton. The Chartists have planned out a very paradise for England, and their scheme of agrarian feli city does justice to that love of the beautiful in their teachers with which the Tories always boast their writings exclusively abound. The clergy, too, will be delighted with the prospect of again reigning over a true agricultural flute-blowing population, having no neighbours with more than five acres to draw off the attention of their flocks from heaven by any display of worldly magni ficence. The Chartists are resolute men, as well as do cile pupils. They will endeavour to carry the lessons of their teachers into effect. Every man is entitled to live, they have been told, in the country i and as they are not allowed to live by manufactures, they naturally fall back on the land, the only other resource. They are good, practical logicians, and do great honour to their Tory teachers. They will soon realise the beau ideal of the landlords, and spread a happy rural population over the empire. At the period of the next Census, the Arcadians will have the un speakable satisfaction of knowing that the in crease in the agricultural has been much greater than the increase in the manufacturing popu lation. Perhaps the condition of England may then approximate to that of Ireland, before the clearing process began, when squatters and sub tenants divided the land into portions of one or two acres, and the nominal landowners lived abroad because it was not safe to live at home. Should the landlords catch a glimpse of that po ss ibility (and how they will reduce to ser vility the people whom they will not allow to get an honest living, we cannot tell) they will, perhaps, begin to suspect that they have in themselves much worse enemies than in the Anti-Corn-law League, and that a condi tion of society infinitely more offensive to them than would follow the repeal of the Bread-tax, may be the consequence of maintaining the law. It' they will not allow England to be made the workshop of the world, they may live to see their estates divided, on the Chartist plan, into tive-acre farms. l Th m e —orni nY - 0l •o p i r ti o c m /e 0 foundpromote emigration i .. o r u a t t i yesterday on i sn ot j that a large loan to u at pre sent so very desirable .

The gentlemen of the City, who have taken up the subject, are actively at work, and are to meet on Monday to fix on such measures as may be deemed necessary to promote the emi gration project. We infer their interestedness from their partiality. If we are correctly in formed, they included only Canada and the colonies of the Southern Ocean in the benefits of their scheme, till they were informed that, for the sake of decency, • they must include the whole of our colonies.

The Mi nistry embraced it with great delight, as a means of neutralizing many a staunch Whig in the City, and of diverting public attention from the pre vailing distress. To have the fingering of 20,000,000 i., extracted by hook or by crook from the pockets of the public, would be a prodigious pleasure to all the underlings of office, and all the jobbers of the City; and, when they can hide their rapacity under the ivask of pa triotism, they will unhesitatingly sacrifice the people to their own purposes. We have, however, now got a powerful auxiliary in warning them that mischief is intended, and that those whose duty it is to provide for their security and happiness at home, contemplate transporting them in order to stifle their com plaints. Emigration, we must again remind our readers, of itself may be a good thing, but emigration as a remedy for distress, caused by Corn and similar laws, will add to the existing injustice, and aggravate the existing evil. The public lately saw with pleasure two new Equity Judges appointed, and praised the en deavours of the Legislature to procure for the people a speedy settlement of their disputes. We always characterised the scheme as a mere bait by which solicitors and barristers would catch more causes, by a promise, no more to be fulfilled hereafter than heretofore, of quickly deciding them. Those gentlemen can file bills merely to take advantage of the delay, and in stitute suits never intended to be prosecuted, but to be suspended in terrorem. The evil is not caused by any want of Judges, but by the two large bodies of men in whose hands exclusively the whole business is placed—who claim it by a sort of Divine right, having an overwhelming pecuniary interest in hanging up causes as long as possible. Whether conscious of it or not, they are biassed in favour of delay, and delay they produce. That barristers and solicitors protract suits by their negligence, was shown by none of them being in Court on Thursday, the last day of term, so that the Court felt itself insulted, and declared the term at an end, while there was still business to be done and time to do it. If a surgeon causes damage to his patients by his want of skill or attention, the lawyers will punish him; and they ought, by the same rule, to be punished for the damage they may cause their clients by their negligence. Some council of discipline, or some special Court, should be instituted to punish, by heavy fines, those solicitors and barristers who neglect the interest of their clients; and unless that be done—unless it be made their interest to bring causes to a quick settlement, the multiplication of Jullges and Courts will only multiply litigation, and prevent justice being done to litigants. The news brought by the Levant mail from the Turkish capital is highly important, and de mands the utmost degree of vigilance on the part of the British Government. It is clear that King OTHO, secretly instigated by France and by the agents of Russia, has manifested such a determination to seize Thessaly that the Porte has considered it necessary to order a large military force to the frontier, and to direct a fleet of five sail of the line to pass the Straits of the Dardanelles. Diplomatic notes have been ad dressed by the Divan to the Great Powers, corn plaining of the bad faith of the Greek Go vernment, and representing the necessity the Porte is under of declaring war against Greece, unless she adopt a more honest policy. Lord ABERDEEN has admitted the justice of the complaint of the Turkish Cabinet, which may perhaps have the effect of checking the warlike impetuosity of that reigning parody upon royalty, King OTHO. The objects of France in stirring up a quarrel between Greece and Turkey are, firstly, to destroy British in fluence at Constantinople; and, secondly, to find some pretext for adding Tunis to her conquests on the coast of Africa. We repeat, then, that the utmost vigilance of our Govern ment will be required to prevent a war most disastrous to' the inhabitants of Turkey and Greece. The Paris Journals received this morning de vote their leading columns to comments upon the trial of M. LEDRU, the Deputy, for a libel upon the Government,wan interesting report of which will be found in another part of The Sun. The libel was contained in a speech made at a meeting of his constituents. The Jury acquitted him of the delivery of the speech, but found him guilty of authorising its publication, for which very questionable offence the Court sentenced him to three months' imprisonment and a fine of 3,000 francs (1201.), and the publisher of the speech to two months' imprisonment and a fine of 2,000 francs (801.) The Liberal press is indig nant with the Government for proscuting a De puty for faithfully discharging his duty towards his constituents. Yesterday, Messrs. Guizot, Duchatel, and Martin du Nord, remained in conference at the Tuileries in the King's cabinet from twelve to two o'clock. At two o'clock M. Mole succeeded the two Ministers. At three o'clock the conference was not over. Yesterday was the thirty-second anniversary of the marriage of King Louis Philippe at Palermo, to Queen Amelia. Workmen began yesterday to get ready the jail of the Luxemburg, where Quenisset And the other prisoners are to be confined. A journal says, that a great number of workmen in metal have left their work, and that the police yesterday arrested several who excited their comrades to join in a combination. Messrs. Antic, Gase, and.Roaldes, left Toulon on the 21st for Pau, where they are to appear before the Cor rectional Tribunal. They were accompanied by their counsel, M. Joly, Member of the Chamber of Deputies. It is affirmed that the Prefect of the Loiret gave a grand dinner on Sunday last to O'Donnell and the other Christian Generals who are now at Orleans.—[Will the Government dismiss this meddling sympathiser ?—ED. Sun.] The Diario de Roma of the 16th of November an nounces the arrival of Prince Ypsilanti and his family at Rome.— Constitutionnel. A letter from Toulon of the 20th November says : " We have now to announee that there is no intention whatever of diminishing the effective force of our army in Africa. The troops that are going to return to France will be fully replaced by others, for orders have just been received at Toulon to make every necessary preparation for the conveyance of about 20,000 men, before the month of March." We mention after the Gazette des Tribunaux the seizure of two smallcannon, said to have been discovered on Monday last, on the landing of the goods from the Industriel steamer. It seems that this discovery was made as far back as the 18th of this month, and that there was nothing mysterious in the matter, the cannon being directed to one of our great manufacturers, whom nobody certainly will take for the head of an emeute. However, the inspector thought it his duty to have them deposited iu his warehouse. He made a report to the Prefect of Police, and on Monday the cannon were taken to the Prefecture by order of M. Delessert, who will probably have them delivered to their owner. This plain statement will put an end to all the conjectures formed on the first discovery of these harmless arms.— Commerce. _ _ ...... The trial of M. Delaroche, the responsible editor of the National, on a charge of having, on the 18th of Sep tember last, inserted an article tending to excite hatred and contempt of the Government, took place yesterday before the Court of Assize. The Procureur-General, M. Hebert, addressed the Court at some length, and read the incriminated article, observing, that to call the Go vernment a faction, and say it was placed between shame and anarchy, and was only a body in a state of dissolu tion and ought to be rejected with contempt, as the Na tional had done, was an attack calculated to bring it i nto discredit, and an aggression not less dangerous than armed violence. M. Jules Favre, the counsel for the National, denied that his client had offended against the law, and disclaimed in his name all participation in the doctrines which had excited the late emcutes. Hein formed the Jury that if the National were on this occa sion to be condemned it would be liable, having already been once condemned, to be suspended by a decree of the Court. The Procureur-General having made a sign in the negative, M. Favre thanked him in the name of the pre ss , an d hi s own dignity for declining to avail him self of such a power, which M. Favre said was contrary to the spirit of the age. He then complained that the National had b ra n t a k en by surprise, and was unprepared forits defen ce ; b ut h e was h ere ca ll e d to order by the President, who said the fact was not true. The Procu reur-General having replied, the Jury retired, and, after a deliberation of twenty minutes, returned with a ver dict of acquittal. The Tribunal de 'Premiere Instance was again en gaged yesterday with the affair of the property of the Fr b o l eu i u s e : shs ll r a he r sa y , ; teAo commenced lateg grant n t s uoift the a s i n u s m t t 0 1 i f e 2 8 1 a 4 r , 0 o o n o il t e , secured to the Baron after the death of the Baroness, in case he should survive her, by their marriage contract, which grant the Baron assigned to the Hospices of Paris and Nimes, and the sufferers from the inundations in the Garde and Ardeche, of which departments he had the military command. The demand of nullity is founded on the ingratitude of the Baron, in having procured the judgment of divorce from bed and board in 1824. Before pleading to the declaration, the Baron moved that Mr. and Miss Dawes, being foreigners, should lodge a suffi cient sum as caution money, to answer any costs they might be adjudged to pay on failure of their suit. The Court granted the Baron's motion, and ordered Mr. and Miss Dawes to make a deposit of 10,000 f. Upon an application from M. Hebert, the Procureur- General, the Tribunal of Commerce at Versailles has issued a rule of Court, declaring that hi future every person who becomes a bankrupt shall be committed pro visionally to the town prison. This severe measure has been induced by the alarming increase in the number of failures, which for many years did not exceed three or four per annum, but which within the present year has amounted to fifty. This new rule has been already acted upon in one instance. _ _ The grand concert given by the Duke and Duchess of Orleans yesterday evening was very brilliant. The King and Queen dined with their Royal Highnesses, and en tered the saloons with them. Selections from operas of Gluck, Lully, and Rameau were performed, and the cho ruses were selected from the singers of the French and Italian operas. Among the numerous and distinguished, guests, French and Foreign, were Queen Christina, his Excellency the British Ambassador and Lady Cowley, the Neapolitan Ambassador and his Lady, the Papal In ternuncio,: Marshal: Soult, and the Duchess de Dalmatie, the Ministers, Marshals Molitor and Sebastiani, Count and Countess Montalivet, Duke and Duchess Decazes, Count and Countess Toreno. Duke and Duchess de Massa, Marquis and Marquise de Gabriac, and Count and Countess Darriule. It was the anniversary of the mar riage }of the King and Queen, which was solemnised at Palermo thirty-two years ago, and was chosen by the Prince and Princess f o r th eir first grand entertainment of the season. Marshal Soult, yesterday, visited the baking-establish ment for the army, on the Quai de Billy, which he in spected in all its details. 40,000 rations of bread are there made every day, and the magazines contain three months' provisions for a force of 40,000 men. A mill worked by steam-power is constantly at work, which is capable of producing 140,000 metrical quintals of flour per year; During his visit, Marshal Soult ordered seve ral important ameliorations to be made in the establish ment. The Bordeaux papers state that the crowd at the en trance of the Theatre des Varietes in that city was so dense, a few nights since, when the Grace de Dieu was to be performed, that a young man was suffocated in the throng. There was so heavy a fall of snow, a few days ago, at Belfort, that the Municipality was compelled to invite the inhabitants to co-operate in placing it in heaps in the streets, in order that it might be carted away. A letter from Troyes, of the 22d inst., states that a man named Pottejoie was to have been executed there that day, and an immense crowd had assembled to wit ness the execution, but, it being discovered that the guillotine was out of order, this melancholy ceremony was postponed, and the crowd, after waiting several hours dispersed, says the letter, uttering expressions of dis content.

A poetical correspondent has sent us some lines from Leith, entitled, "ON READING THE SUN ' NEWSPAPER THAT SE VERAL COPIES OF THAT PAPER HAD BEEN STOLEN WHILE TRAVELLING VIA POST." Were it not for lack of room we would give the whole ; the two first stanzas, however, will show how the jocular author treats the subject of his fancy. " Who saw The Sun to-day ?"---SnAItsrEARE,, Ah ! who would steal the blessed Sun That lightens all the land ! It surely were a burning shame When Globes there are at hand ! - Who steals the Star steals trash, and he Who filches Times away Commits a petty theft to those Who'd steal the god of day ! &c., &c. LYNN.-At a meeting of the Court of Guar dians, held at the Town-ball of Lynn, on Thursday, the unusually high rate of is. 9d. in the pound was made for the support of the poor for the coming quarter. SUMMARY OF MEWS AND 13 a '';.l tic Optiaton. " Who runs may read." PORLXGN. The Levant Mail has brought the important intelli gence that the Porte has officially addressed the Govern meats of England, France, and Russia, on the subject of the machinations of Greece. The Divan is eager for a war with King Otho. The Maronites and Druses are cutting each other's throats in Syria. We fear it will be very long before order can be established in that distracted country. • The inundations of the Nile have done a great deal of damage in Egypt. The European Consuls are still at Cairo. Alexandria is very unhealthy, and reports were afloat that the plague had re-appeared in Egypt and Syria. The Paris Journals are exclusively occupied with the trial of M. Ledru Rollin, Deputy for the department of Le Mans, and M. Haureau, editor of the Courrier de la Sarthe, for a seditio us lib e l, consisting, however, merely of the language held by M. Ledru Rollin at the late elec tion for the departmerit he represents. M. Ledru Rollin was acquitted by the jury of having uttered the words which constituted the libel, but convicted of publishing them, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment, and a fine of 3,000 f. (1201.) M. Haureau was also convicted, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and a fine of 2,000 f. (801.) The whole of the Liberal Press denounce the prosecution as tyrannical and the verdict as infamous, which it is. The defence was conducted by the most eminent men in France, viz., MM. Berryer, Odillon Barrot, Arago, and Marie. The Frankfort Journal of the 23d speaks of the re ports current as to the formation of a European Con gress for the settlement of Spanish affairs, and mentions Vienna, Frankfort, Paris, and London as the probable places of meeting, but agrees as to the great chance of Frankfort being selected. Count de Flahaut and M. de Fontenay are parties designated as the representatives of France; Lord Granville, Sir David Montague, and Lord Erskine, for England; Counts Fiquelmont and de Bombelles, for Austria; Baron de Bulow and Count de Kuster, for Prussia; and for Russia, Baron de Brunow and Count Paul de Medem. We are somewhat of opi nion that there will be no Congress upon the affairs of Spain. The great Powers will think better of it, and leave Spain to manage her own affairs. A Correspondent from Hanover writes to the Consti tutionnel that the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge have sent in a protest against the measure taken in organizing a Council of Signature for the Crown Prince of Hanover, as having been entered into without the consent of the agnates of that Royal house. The protest has been for warded to the Germanic Diet, and communicated to the Courts of Berlin and of Brunswick. The number of students entered in the faculty of law in Paris for the lectures of the academical year is 2,872, viz.:—Candidates for certificates for capacity 120, stu dents of the first year 880, of the second year 961, of the third year 785, of the fourth 126. Out of the 2,892 candidates for the baccalaureate in letters examined in August last throughout France, 1,471, or 54 per cent., obtained their diplomas. The examinations in composi tion ended in the rejection of 657, or 23 per cent., and in the oral examinations 764, or 34 per cent., were turned back. PUBLIC OPINION. In a leading article on the subject of naval and' mili tary promotions, the Morning Post makes the following remarks :—" England is superior to any other country in the world in the commercial marine, which is the only natural, and always indispensable, source of an efficient naval force. It is to this, we imagine, com bined with the vigour and steadiness of the national character, which British sailers and soldiers share alike, rather than to any superiority in the system of one ser vice over that of the other in respect to the promotion of officers, that the more prompt and constant supe riority of our naval force over every antagonist is to be ascribed. As to the system of promotion in the two services respectively, if we may judge from the number of complaints arising in each, we should certainly -be led to conclude that the system of the army is infinitely the better of the two. Nor is this conclusion in the smallest degree invalidated by the fact that our military force being less intimately connected with the peculiar character, habits, and resources of the nation, and con stantly opposed to the formidable military arm of other countries, has not been as invariably triumphant over every foe as our naval force." The Times, referring to Sir Robert Peel's Irish policy, observes as follows :—" It will henceforth be clear to the whole of Ireland upon what principles Earl de Grey means to govern. To consolidate, and not to divide, to pacify and not to exasperate, to fuse together all parties, and not to favour one—this will be his policy, this his august function. The curse of Ireland does not lie either in the numerical. preponderance of her Roman Catholic population, br in the superior endowments of the Church recognised in the State, but in the deadly distractions, feuds, and animosities which struggles for an exclusive pre-eminence have created. Let the Irish Protestants, on the one hand, welcome the majority of their coun trymen to their full share of influence and civil privi leges, to which nature, reason, and the law of the land proclaim their right—let the Irish Roman Catholics, on the other, respect the conscientious obligations of the Imperial Legislature, and the established settlement of property, and a new era of peace and prosperity will dawn upon their common country."—lt is not from Earl De Grey's policy—at least if it is to continue as it has be gun—that these desirable results can be anticipated. His Lordship, it is true, hoists the flag of impartiality, but he is not true to his colours, and acts under the banner of party. What else, however, was to be expected from a member of a temporising expediency Government ? The Herald thus pathetically bewails the present sec tarian disturbances in the University of Oxford:—" The present aspect of the University of Oxford exhibits a most deplorable picture of theological strife and debate. The University which has heretofore been considered the rock and fortress of our Protestant Church is now, alas ! split, into conflicting sects and factions—some call ing out for the admission of Dissenters, and others for the union with Papists. The quiet haunts of academi cal study are now beset with the struggles of Puseyites and Liberals. Even the vacant chair of Poetry is en compassed with the demons of discord, and Dr. Pusey scares away the Muses with the trumpet of a polemic. The prototypes of all this double double, toil and trou ble,' are to be found in the concoctors of that logic which glories in the name of Dr. Whately, but which was equally the child of Newman."—lt is a curious complaint of our Contemporary that Puseyism and Liberalism are the results of logic—that is to say, of the reasoning fa culties. Had he complained that they resulted from the non-exercise of reasoning, there would have been some thing in his complaint. The Chronicle says:—" Lord Nugent is a Corn-law Repealer, and advocates free-trade principles, but dis• approves of some of the Anti-Corn-law League, to which body his Lordship was sent as a d e l ega t e by the Mary lebone Vestry. He therefore tendered his resignation; but, at the desire of those whom he represented, agreed to continue to act on their behalf. His Lordship's dis satisfaction, not with the objects of the League, but with some of its means, might be well or ill founded ; but, passing that question, his course, first in resigning and then in resuming his appointment, appears to us straightforward, honest, and patriotic. The Times, however, characterizes it as one of frailty," im becility," stultification,' and, by implication, as not ' honourable.' His Lordship will probably not be greatly moved by this soft impeachment,' even though he be the Duke of Buckingham's uncle,' and continues to act as the representative of Marylebone in the Anti-Corn-law Parliament.' But there is more in the censure cast at him than a personal reflection. It assumes, and is directed to enforce, a principle of politi cal conduct which we know very well that the Times re pudiates for itself, but which it would gladly see applied by the public to the Corn-law question ' • or, indeed, to any other question by which its party is likely to be em barrassed. The principle amounts to this: that we ought not to co-operate for the attainment of a just and pa triotic object, unless we approve of the mode in which others are actively labouring for the attainment of that same object. A very comfortable doctrine would this be for the possessors and abusers of power, and a most con venient shelter for the . most iniquitous oppressions." MONEY-ThA.DE-COMMERCE. A public meeting bf deputies from the clothing dis trict of the West Riding of Yorkshire will be held on the Bth or 14th of December, to take into consideration the distress which prevails from the operation of the Corn-laws. The cotton district will meet at Manchester on the 16th of the same month for the same purpose, and all the great manufacturing districts in Lancashire are to adopt the same plan. On Wednesday a meeting was held at Liverpool of the Lancashire Shareholders in the Paris and Rouen Rail way, when a ;most satisfactory report of the state of affairs was made by the Deputation which had visited France, every assurance given of the correctness of the estimates, and the certainty of an opening in 1843. The Manchester and Birmingham Railway will open to Crewe, that is, the remaining distance throughout, in Dlarch next. At the quarterly meeting of the iron-masters of York shire and Derbyshire, held in Sheffield, on Wednesday, the following prices were fixed for pigs :—No. 1, 4/. 12s. 6d. ; No. 2, 44. 7s. 6d. ; and No. 3,4/. 2s. 6d. It was represented that the market was firmer in Staf fordshire. ECCLESIASTICAL. On Wednesday thirty persons were summoned before the Magistrates at Bradford for refusing to pay Church rates. After a lengthened discussion between the Ma gistrates and the non -ratepayers, the Bench decided that the whole of the cases should be adjourned, without pre judice, till an eminent counsel's opinion should be ob tained for their guidance. NAVAL AND MILITARY. Patrick Rogers, an old soldier, died at Lisburn, Ireland, some days ago, aged 101. lie had been an out-pensioner of Chelsea Hospital upwards of 71 years. • Yesterday the workmen employed at the Tower in clearing the ruins reached that part of the Armoury where the train of artillery was situate, and found that nearly the whole of the old guns, some of them cast so far back as the year 1548, were complotely destroyed. LAW AND POLICE. In the Rolls' Court yesterday, a motion was made to restrain Richard Kelly from negotiating two Bills of Exchange for 2,3921. 3s. each, accepted by Lord Coch rane, eldest son of the Earl of Dundonald. According to the statement of Counsel, the interest charged was from 60 to 70 per cent., amounting altogether to 623/. 14s. 6d., and the young Lord swore that for the two bills amounting to 4,784/. 65., he had not received more than 6001. He, therefore, demurred to the judgment. His father had offered to pay the defendant the full amount of his advances, with 10 per cent. interest ; but the defendant had refused to accede to these terms, and had commenced an action in the Queen's Rench.—The motion was granted. THEATRICAL. The Duke of Rutland, Sir Robert and Lady Peel, Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, Countess of Jersey, and the Ladies Villiers, occupied the Queen Dowager's box, last night, at Covent-garden Theatre. COURT-PASHXOTTAXI363I3. The Duke and Duchess of Beaufort have been enter taining a select circle at Badminton, Gloucestershire. The Marquis of Downshire has returned to Hills borough Castle, from Dublin. The Earl of Surrey arrived in Hyde Park-place on Thursday last, from Arundel Castle. The Lord Chancellor, Lady Lyndhurst, and Miss Copley, leave town to-day, on a visit for a few days. We understand that the marriage of Prince Nicholas Esterhazy to Lady Sarah Villiers is fixed for the 10th of December. The whole of the interior of Strathfieldsaye is about to be re-furnished in a splendid style, in consequence of an expectation of a visit from her Majesty and Prince Albert early in the ensuing year. Viscount Templetown has left Berkeley-square, on a visit to his estates in Ireland. At a meeting held at Birmingham yesterday, addresses to the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Duchess of Kent, on the birth of the Prince of Wales, were carried by acclamation. MISCELZANEOUS. On Tuesday evening last, a meeting of the working classes was held at Truro, for the purpose of forming a Company to supply the industrious classes with the necessaries of life, especially flour. About 500 persons were present; of that number 250 working men enrolled themselves as members of the newly-formed Company. Sir Charles Wolseley having invited all his tenantry, and the farm labourers, with their families, of the town ships of Wolseley, Bishton, and Colwich, to commemo rate the birth of the Prince of Wales, upwards of 350 persons assembled on Tuesday at the hospitable mansion of the Baronet, where they were abundantly regaled. Fireworks, ringing of bells, &c., closed the festive day. A Morning Paper states that the Duke of Wellington, since his arrival in town, has been constantly occupied with business ; and then, as a proof of his Grace's sedu lous attention to business, mentioned that he went with Lady Burghersh and a party to Covent Garden Theatre last night ! Her Majesty the Queen has presented to the Numis matic Society an extensive variety of specimens of the Anglo-Saxon and Continental coins discovered last year on the banks of the Ribble and Cuerdale, in Lancashire. They are chiefly of the Mint of Bury St. Edmund's, Archbishop Plegmund, Alfred the Great, and of contem porary Continental Princes and towns, and are in many instances of the utmost rarity. Few persons are aware of the circumstance that the Royal Infant, in addition to his other titles, is also born " Viscount Launceston." The Reading Magistrates, in the excess of their legis lative wisdom, have committed Bernard Cavanagh to the tread-mill for refusing to starve himself to death; just as, years ago, some equally sapient Magistrates im prisoned M. Chabert—the Salamander, as he called himself—for refusing to bake himself to death in an oven! The Thames Tunnel and an eminent M.P. (late of the Surrey Theatre) are alike remarkable as being the two greatest bores in Christendom. On this day, in 1703, Bishop Kidder was killed at his Palace in Wells, in consequence of the fall of a stack of chimneys, occasioned by a great storm, which was felt all over the kingdom, when the Bishop and his lady were unhappily killed in bed. They were privately buried in the Cathedral of Wells. RUMOURS OT THE DAY. A Canada paper states that a Colonel Wood, of Natchez, is said to have sailed for England with docu ments in his possession which, he believes, will prove that he is the rightful heir of the late James Wood, of Gloucester. The authorities of the Tower intend to have a bazaar in the White Tower next week for the sale of relics, at fixed prices. It is to be hoped the relic. worshippers will be made to pay well for " their whistle." MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 26.—There has been an improved demand for American and East India Cotton this week, but without any alteration in prices of either descriptions, and we therefore adopt our last quo tations.

The state of the commercial markets this week does not call for much remark. As Christmas approaches, business in produce is narrowed. The heaviest sales have been those of Tea, and we are promised more in a few days. Although the holders, therefore, make a show of firmness, they cannot abstain from realizing. Coffee participates in the heaviness of • Tea, but Sugars keep up their price. Abroad mercantile mat ters, as the reported failures prove, are not in a very satisfactory state, but the accounts to-day from Hungary are cheering. The union of Austria with the German Customs' League, is seriously adverted to in the accounts from Hamburgh to-day. Consols, Money, 89i- ; Ditto, Account, 8914 ; Mexican, 25H ; Spanish, 23H.
