S 1,1 ARY OF VI E 1 7 j S AND tabliur Opitteon. " Who runs may read." POREIGN. The French Ministerial Journals are doing all they can to represent the condition of Spain as most frightful. Why, we know not, unless it be actually true that Louis Philippe has determined to send a French army into Spain under the pretext of putting down the Republican party, but in reality to overturn the established Go vernment. Notwithstanding the treachery of the French Govern ment, M. Olozaga, the Spanish Ambassador in Paris; has seceived from his Government a sum of 150,000 f. (6,00 a) to pay a portion of the arrears due to the officers and soldiers of the French Auxiliary Legion. PIIISILXC OPINION. The Chronicle has an article on the subject of some remarks that appeared in the Times of Monday, justi fying Sir Robert Peel's do-nothing system of policy. I rom this article we quote a passage or two :—" How complete rau:_t - have been the pitiful reliance of our present rulers . upon the chapter of accidents, when such occurrences as the misconduct of a clerk, and the breaking out of a fire, are seized use godsend for the demonstration of their wisdom. How )et more pitiful when even such accidents will not avail their eulogists, except in such a remarkable man ner' as remarkably fails of any effect but diegust and derision. The repairs of the • Tower will not employ the multitudes whom the Corn-laws keep out of work and wages. People must eat, notwithstand ing the demolition of the armoury. Nor will stomachs be filled, even though more bills should be ' coming in from Hong Kong and Australia.' How long will it take Sir Robert Peel to obtain leave from his mas ter to touch the Corn-laws ? And what sort of a hand will he lay upon them when leave is obtained ? Let those questions be answered, and his wisdom may be better tested than by all the fires and frauds in the metropolis. His prospect of success we take to be as vain in itself as his use of success, were it obtained, would be unsatisfactory and worth less to the community. The delay is a cruel delu sion. The attempt to justify it is a paltry mockery."— The answer to the Chronicle's question, what sort of a hand will Sir R. Peel lay on the Corn-laws ? is very soon answered. He will touch them with the gentlest possible touch, so much so as to be scarcely felt in its effints. No manly, vigo'reus grasp will a party Premier of his deli cate sensibilities dare to lay on favourite Tory measure like this. The very utmost we can expect from him is, that he will make a prodigious flourish of drums and trumpets, and a vast parade of effecting a mighty change, and end coolly and quietly by doing little or nothing. The herald says—" The colonial empire of Queen Victoria alone gives to her Ministers a great superiority in negotiating with foreign States commercial treaties. And seen through this medium, reciprocity on our part does not consist in offering to France, Germany, Rus sia, and the United States free markets in all British ports—including as such our colonial ports—for their exports, in return for free importations of our manufac turing staples, because under the head of British ports are included markets far more varied and extensive than any those countries can present. Our colonies, yearly expanding, give a preponderating influence to this country in the commerce of the world, which, if judi ciously and skilfully used, ought to be brought to act on the reduction of European tariffs hostile to our manufactures. We can exclude the wines, the brandies, the silks, and the Paris frippery of France, the stockings, the cottons, and the woollens of .Germany, the hardware of Belgium, the wines of Spain and Portugal, and the grey domestics of the United States; and in fact the staple product, be it agricul tural or manufacturing, of every nation, from. British North .America, from the British West Indies, from Southern Africa, from Australasia, from the Mauritius, Ceylon, and the peninsula of Hin dostan. 'We can in these colonies and dependencies, the population of which is rapidly becoming individually the largest consumers of foreign produce, retaliate for the high duties and maritime exclusion of European nations. But then Lord Aberdeen must not throw him self headlong from the advantageous position for nego tiating new commercial treaties which the colonies place him in, as did his free-trade predecessor." The following is from the Times :—" That there will henceforth be any serious fighting in China we cannot at all anticipate. C . ker fleet and troops, in adequate efficiency, are now lying under their walls in an attitude likely to prevent mistakes. The embroidered doll who plays the part of Emperor may possibly issue a few pas sionate proclamations, and may even take off a few Mandarins' heads ; but, to all the practical purposes for which the British expedition was undertaken, we feel quite sure that, under Sir i Henry Pottinger's manage ment, the whole dispute s virtually at an end. Thus, the menacing aspect of affairs, both in the eastern and western hemispheres, has at length brightened up, and yielded to more pleasing prospects."— If affairs are brightening in the East, of which there can be no doubt, it is not the Tories we have to thank for it, though they may reap the benefit. They have had no thing to do with the Chinese dispute, except, indeed, to render it as complicated as possible, by their factious conduct in opposition. They did not appoint Sir H. Pottinger—a fact which should be borne in mind by the public ; for we have no doubt that in the next Session the Tortes will dwell with infinite self-complacency on the settlement of the Chinese squabble, and endeavour to have it supposed that it was settled under their auspices, and that Sir 11. Pottinger was their protegee. als ls hs ll3 iste" ,, dutl ss) r e' ove . 0 051 1 -' C. l it 1 vie ACC comrazitcx.p.a. ircrortra. A public meeting of the inhabitants of St. Luke's, (to the number of nearly 2,000), was held on Monday even ing, for the purpose of forming an Anti-Monopoly As sociation. Colo►iel Thompson presided in the Chair. The principle of the Charter—Universal Suffrage, was largely advocated, and Mr. Wakley made a statement that " out of a population pf 260,000 inhabitants in the borough of Finsbury, and 13,000 voters, there were not 300, or at most 400 working journeymen who had the franchise." A Committee was then formed to complete the organization. kiILECTIONEEIUNG. _ _ Mr. Wigram having been appointed Vice-Chancellor, a vacancy occurs in the representation of the Borough of Hereford.

Lieut.-Colonel George Macdonald, half-pay 16th regi ment, a veteran officer of thirty-years full-pay service, has accepted the appointment of Governor of Sierra Leone. LAW AND POLICE. On Monday, a military court of inquiry was held to ex amine into the conduct of the sergeant and sentry on duty at the Spur Gate, on the charges which had been made against him by the reporter of the Sunday Times. The Court, having attentively considered the depositions, was of opinion that the reporter was struck on the head by private Thomas Ellis, of the Scots Fusilier Guards, with his firelock, but that the said private acted in obedi ence to his orders, which he had not dared to have disobeyed under pain of death. • - A man of the name of Marriot was brought before Sir C. Marshall at Guildhall on Monday, charged with attempting to commit self-destruction by throwing him self from l3lackfriars-bridge. The prisoner said he had got drunk and did not know what he was auout ; and the Alderman, to give him time to become sober, com mitted him for trial. A woman named Thorne, the wife of a shoemaker, who had been married only three months, was also charged with attempting self-destruction by taking oxalic acid. On inquiry, however, it was found that she had taken only a dose of Epsom salts. The Alderman ad vised her husband to take her home and treat her kindly. WZNE ARTS. In return for the present of twelve magnificent columns of alabaster, which Mehemet Ali lately sent as a present to Rome, the Pope is preparing to send some splendid tables executed by the first artists in Ronie; together with coins and medals, some exquisite engravings, and copies of an elaborate work by the celebrated Orientalist, the Chevalier di Lanir. LITERARY AND scamvTiric. In one of the ancient chimney-pieces in Cawdor Castle there is a rude carving in stone of a fox smoking a tobacco-pipe, with the date 1510. As it is generally be lieved that tobacco was first introduced into this country by Sir Walter Raleigh, about the year 1585, it is singu lar to find the common short tobacco-pipe represented on a stone of so much earlier date. At the Royal Academy on Monday night, Mr. Green, Professor of Anatomy at this Institution, delivered the first of the annual series of lectures. The Professor claimed for the human skeleton the character of the highest beauty, " for though it . presented mankind certainly in the sternest aspect, to scientific eyes it was still beauti ful; and on contemplating it the whole form of man was clearly discerned, even as a Parthenon might rise from its ruins to the imaginative eye of an artist." COURT - PASHIONAXILE. The Duke of Devonshire left Geneva last week for the South. The Earl and Countess Grosvenor arrived at South ampton from Lisbon on Saturday, and on Monday they departed for Motcombe Park, after an absence of twelve months. The Earl told Countess of Carlisle are now at Castle- Howard, where they will remain till after Christmas. Fi e ld-Marshal and Viscountess Beresford left Caven dish-square on Monday for Bedgebury Park, Kent. Lord and Lady Dinorben intend to leave the seat of Sir John Williams, Bart., shortly, for Bute House, South Audley-street. ItedI3CMX.L. ANZOITS. Peals were rung on the bells at Radstock, Chewton, Mendi, and other Eplaces, on Wednesday last, being the day on which the Earl of Waldegrave finished his term of imprisonment. The fire which remained in the Tower, of very slight consequence, was finally quenched on Monday, and the engines have been removed. The Lord Mayor in more ancient times, seems to have walked in the civic procession of yesterday-, commonly called the Lord Mayor's Show." In the reign of Eli zabeth the Mayor rode on a "horse richly caparisoned," and that custom continued till the time of Charles 11. The custom of riding in the " gold coach " succeeded, and continues, as all know, to the present time. In his celebrated prints of the idle and industrious apprentices, Hogarth has represented the form of the old coach used on Lord Mayor's day. A Bristol paper states, that a most formidable rat has been lately killed in the neighbourhood, and is now in the Clifton Museum ; it measured one yard, and its weight was upwards of fi ve pounds."—This must have been nearly as great a rat as Sir James Graham.

The distinguished 'office which his Grace the Duke of Wellington now holds as Constable of the Tower, is of very ancient date, as the London historian, Stow, says— " In 1245 Sir John de Giser was Mayor of London, and in 1311 Sir Jelin de Giser, Knight, and Constable of the T o wer of .London; resided at the mansion of Giser's Hall, now corruptly called Gerard's H a ll, i n B as i ng - lane. The some historian also speaks of a high -roofed hall.. The crypt in which this high-roofed hall stood still re mains, in beautiful order, and is to be seen. It is 48 feet in length, and 20 in breadth, and is equally divided into two aisles by . six central round columns; these terminate 'above in gromed arches of the early pointed order, and Which spring from the same number of similar columns. The fine proportion of the vault itself—in short, the effect of the whole, resembles that of the crypt of some fine Gothic church. LORD MAYOR'S DAY. Yesterday Leing the day appointed for the swearing in of ' the Chief .Magistrate of the City of London at West minster Hall, as might have been expected every street, square, court, and alley, from London-bridge to that of Westminster, were crowded by anxious persons, of both sexes, to witness the imposing procession by water and land. About twelve o'clock the able caterer in proces sional departments made his arrangements in Guild. hail-yard. his Lordship, in his state coach, drawn by six horses, was preceded by the Bands of 11th Hussars, Prince Albert's Own, the 2d Life Guards, and that belonging to the 72d Foot, the recent Royal Infantry Guard at Windsor. The various City Companies took water in their State barges at various stairs, accompanied by bands composed of the Grenadier, Coldstream, and Scots Fusilier Guards, who played the most modern music in their usual effective style. The boats of the Thames Police and London Fire Establishment were also decorated in their gayest colours in honour of the day. The land procession was as usual grand in the extreme, as the cockneys believe, composed of the usual number of heralds, men in suits of brass, steel, and copper armour, escorted by a guard of his Royal Highness Prince Albert's Regiment. According to annual custom, the state barge belonging to the worshipful Company of Stationers was rowed over to the Palace of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the company on board received from his Grace the annual gift of a hamper of claret. The river Thames, from the fineness of the day, was crowded with boats of •various sizes, in which were elegantly dressed females, and the best order was kept to prevent accidents. fl The Rev. Sidney Smith long ago - rerriaaked that the whole order of nature seemed reversed in New South Wales, and he ;recommended all naturalists to hold their theories at single, anchor. But the most extraordinary'departure from the laws of nature in Europe is found, ac cording to the Edinburgh Weehlg Chronicle, in, New Zealand, where the river,,W, 4 ,* p, w t o r u ns u for 140 miles, to the lake TauPe t in vbich it rises, through a district of rich an teritile country. Nothing has been considered inSi l e t Vertain' ihan that a river runs down to the sea, and' to find one running up to its 'source •is cert a i n ly one o f the most extraordinary p hen omena recorded, even of the extraordinarYislands in th e sout h ern hemisphere. A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTs.—As an instance.of American " courtes y b y steam," the New York Herald positively a sserts that p as sengers who neg- , lvecetrmtoilpi Vermillion, , t o h n e i r passage money on board the steam er Lake Erie, are p..nteely flo gge d by the officer of that boat ! This is undoubtedly 4 , a new way to pay old debts," to take payment in lashes instead of dollars ! We find the following in the Gazette des Tribu-: naua :—" An English gentleman, very gallant, and a great admirer of the fair set, having a few days ago received his conge from a certain lady in the Rue Bour bon-Villeneuve, made several fruitless attempts to gain admission, and on Saturday last entered the lodge of the house in which she resides, and being told b),- the porter that she was from home, replied that he would wait until she should return, no matter at what hour. The porter, who knew that the lodger had closed her door against the Englishman, refused to permit his stay in the lodge, and a quarrel ensued, in which, after having been told by the porter that he uas master of his own lodge, he replied that he would see who was Master, and beat him severely. Some of the lodgers having b een attract ed to the spot by the noise, the En glishman , was taken before the Commissary o f Police, who remo nstrate d w i th him on his conduct.

A Special General Meeting of the members of thie cor poration was held yesterday at the Rooms of the Hor • tieultural Society, 21, Regent-street, for the purpose of electing a President in the room of Admiral the Right Hon. Sir George Cockburn, G.C.8., M.P., resigned. The meeting was attended by a considerable number of military and naval officers, and others connected with the institution, amongst whom were Sir W. H. Gage, and Sir George Seymour, Lords of the Admiralty. Admirals Young, Griffiths, Sir R. Dobson ; Captains Sweeny, Forbes, Dickson, Currie, Evans, Fead. Holt, J. B. Smith, Sackett, hops, and Lambert ; Doctors Domville, Tweedale, Vitch, Mitchell; Lieuts. Henderson, Saunders, and Gardiner; Messrs. Morris, Jessoie, Le Geyt, Marks, Sec. Sir G. Seemoun took the chair, and called on the Secretary, Mr. Hops. - , to read a letter from Sir George Cockburn, tendering his resignation, in consequence of his appoint ment as one of the Lords of the Admiralty, whereby he would be prevented from giving the requisite attention to the duties of the office ). President of the Society. In conclusion, he begged to assure the Society that his best services were ever at their command. The Secretary then read the advertisement calling the meeting together. Admiral GRIFFITHS proposed the first resolution, " that the letter just received from Admiral the Right Hon. Sir George Cockburn, tendering his resignation as Presi dent of the Royal Naval School, in consequence of his appointment as a Lord of the Admiralty putting it out of his - power to give the requisite attention to the duties of that office, this meeting, in accepting the resignation of Sir George Cockburn, unanimously record their high sense of the advantages which hare accrued to the insti tution from his occupying the important office of President, which he kindly consented to accept at the unanimous request of the supporters of the institution, assembled in May 1840; and this meet ing is desirous of expressing its heart-felt thanks to him for the deep interest he has taken in the institution ever since its commencement, but more especially for his active exertions during his able Presidency, and they beg to tender to him their sincere acknowledgments for the kind and courteous manner in which he has tendered his resignation, as well as for his liberal offer of future assistance and support, which entitles him to their gratitude." The resolution being seconded without comment, was then put, and carried unanimously. Vice-Admiral Sir WM. GAGE proposed the next reso lution, which was seconded by Rear-Admiral GRIFFITHS, " that Vice-Admiral Sir Chas. Ogle be elected President of the Royal Naval School, in the room of Admiral the Right lion. Sir George Cockburn, G.C.8., resigned." Captain DrcKsoN spoke to the resolution, and eulo gised the character of Sir Charles Ogle. His (Sir C. Ogle's) exertions had been very great in the cause of the institution, and he would give them one fact in proof of it. When Sir Charles was at Brighton, a meeting of the Society was held, and he at considerable inconve nience came up to London to attend it.—(Cheers.) He merely mentioned the fact in proof of the fitness of Sir Charles Ogle for the office of President of the Royal Naval School.—(Hear, hear.) The resolution was put, and carried unanimously. Captain FEAD proposed, and Captain LAMBERT se• conded a resolution conveying the thanks of the meeting to the Horticultural Society for their kindness in grant ing the gratuitous use of the room for the purpose of that meeting.—This resolution was carried. A vote of thanks was then passed to the late Trustees, Sir Geo. Martin, Sir Charles Ogle, and Sir Henry Digby. The CHAIRMAN said that as that was but a mere routine meeting there was no further business before it. He could say with truth that this was a most auspicious day in all respects.—(Hear, hear.) The thank; of the meeting were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. CORONER'S INQUEST. The examination of witnesses in the adjourned inquest on the body of Michael Aungier, found dead in a cab on Saturday morning last, was resumed yesterday at two o'clock, at the Grapes public-house. Charles Pearson, the servant boy in the employment of Mr. Paccard, was then sworn, and gave his evidence, which was to the same effect as that which we reported in The Sun of Saturday. The servant girl, the cabman, and the policeman, were also examined, but their evidence furnished no ad , ditional information. Charles Jones Snitch was then sworn, and deposed as follows :—I am a surgeon, residing at No. 33, Brydges street. On the morning of Saturday last, at about a ! quarter past five o'clock, I was called to the station house, and I saw a man, then placed on a stretcher, quite dead. The body was just warm, so that I should judge, from his having been exposed to the cold air, that he might have been dead about an hour, his hands being perfectly cold, and the trunk only warm. The pupils of the eyes were dilated. It was useless to try any means to restore him, such as bleeding, &c., and I therefore made no attempt. Having received your warrant for the post-mortem examination, with an analysis of the contents of the stomach, I proceeded to execute it on the Sunday afternoon, assisted by Mr. Brooks. The following is the result of that investiga tion :—" Externally the body presented no marks of violence. It was intimated by a gentleman present at the examination (Mr. Coates, I believe) that he thought he perceived a red line round the throat ; but, upon examination, it proved to be nothing more than the usual appearance of accumulated blood, probably arising from the position in which his body had been plaeed in the cab. On removing the calverium or 'Anil cap, the following appearance presented itself :—The blood-vessels of the outer covering of the brain were distended with congested, that is, congealed blood, the membrane adhering very firmly to the bones of the skull. The blood-vessels in the brain were in the same gorged and distended state. On removing a por tion of the brain, a quantity of water (it might be about two ounces) was seen in the ventricles, the na tural quantity being but a drop. There was also a slight rupture of some of the minute vessels, and a few drops of blood effused. The chest was next exa mined. The heart, small in size, but perfectly healthy, was somewhat flat, the lungs gorged and distended with congested blood. The external surface of the stomach, the small and large intestines exhibited the blood-vessels in the same full and distended state as those of the brain, being charged with congested blood. The liver looked perfectly healthy, and proved so on examination, from which I infer that the man could not be a drinker. The contents of the stomach were entered into a bottle. The internal condition of the stomach was next examined, and its coats were found to be particularly thin, and that more so in some parts than others. The blood vessels ex hibited the sane full state as the other organs. Its whole complexion indicated some degree of inflammation. It was next washed, and the water deposited in another bottle. These two bottles I carried to a gentleman of the name of Wonfor, who has made scientific chemistry his study. This gentleman has submitted the contents of the stomach (the quantity in it being about a pint) to various tests. The following is the result of his observa tions:—` I have submitted the contents of the two bottles to a careful examination, and do not discover the existence of eny poisonous matter. But the ingesta consist of rum, beer, and animal matter. I have submitted my results to Dr. Pereira, and it is his opinion that no poison has been given.' Under such circumstances, I can come to no other conclusion than that the deceased died from a state strongly bordering on apoplexy; but whether caused by the excess of spirits, wine, or malt liquor, or whether the result of his age, lam not able to say. If unaccustomed to drinking, that would be very likely to lead to such a termination." In reply to a question from a Juryman, Mr. Snitch further stated, that if the party had been drinking to ex cess, his, death would have been accelerated by his being driven about in a cab. In reply to a question from a Juryman, Mr. Brooks stated that he was of opinion, after his examination of the body of the deceased, that his death might have been caused by excess of drinking alone. The Jury, after a short deliberation, returned a ver dict to the effect, that the deceased Michael Aungier, had been found dead in a cab on Saturday, morning; and that his death appeared to have been caused by exces sive drinking, and accelerated by his haVing been driven about in a cab, where he fell. They would leave it to the friends of the deceased to take any proceedings they might think fit against. Messrs. I'accard and Kennet, with whom the deceasad had passed the night. DESTRUCTION OF BAWDSEY CHURCH.—On Friday, the sth instant, the church of this village was burned to the ground. The accident was Caused by two men going on the steeple with a turpentine-ball, which they set on fire, and a part of the ball falling on the thatch of the_church it immediately ignited. All exer tions to put out the fire were fruitless. The men were taken on the following day before R. N. Shawe, Esq., and Mr. Norton, and after undergoing a long examina tion they were liberated, upon condition that they would appear at the Woodbridge Petty Sessions on Wednes day (this day).—lpsivich Express. is Sir Arthur Aston, i t said, has presented to Queen Isabella an autograph letter from her Majesty Queen Victoria, congratulating her on the failure of the attempt of the 7th. The young Queen, it is stated, was most sensibly affected at this mark of affection on the part of our most gracious Sovereign. BELFAST QUARTER SESSIONS. Nov. 1.-- SWINDLING BY GHOST-RAISING.—George Bradley was indicted for obtaining money from Mary Coburn, of Bel fast, on false pretences. The facts of the case are briefly these :—The prisoner's sister (Milliken), already con victed and transported for her share in the offence, so wrought upon the credulity of the prosecutrix, through the agency of a servant girl, her relation, that she made her believe her house was haunted by the ghosts of her two deceased brothers, one of whom she pretended to conjure up. She promised to have the " spirits" laid for a certain sum, but postponed the business, from time to time, till she obtained upwards of 2001. from the victim of her schemes. After her feigned death, the prisoner took up the remainder of the plot, and, by pretending that ' he was entrusted to deliver to Mrs. Coburn a quantity of plate, and other valuables, bequeathed by another brother ,in Now Orleans, also swindled her out of a considerable sum. The f a cts were fully proved, and the prisoner con victed. The Court sentenced him to be transported for seven years.—Dublin Evening Mail. COAST OF AFRICA.—THE SLAVE -TRADE. —From letters just received from H.M.S. Fantome, it appears that she has taken another prize, being the thirteenth, which shows the horrors of the slave-trade in another light.. The prize was a schooner 30 feat in length, by 9 feet beam, and had on board one hundred and five slaves, all children, besides the crew. The vessel was scarcely of 20 tons burthen, and the deck, on which the slaves were literally stowed, was only eighteen inches clear from the mat they lay on to the deck be tween the beams. It is a curious circumstance that the whole of the prizes taken by caTtain Butterfield have been captured:on Sunday. , CHURCH-RATES—CAMBERWELL. An adjourned meeting of the Camberwell Vestry was held on Monday night in the dining-hall of the Camberwell Workhouse, to resume the discussion of the proposed rates to be imposed upon the parish for the rebuilding of the church, &c. The original meeting was called a fortnight ago, when an attempt was made to pass the Report of the Church Committee, involving a demand of 27,6001., when, after a long discussion, the meeting was adjourned till the following Monday, to consider the different clauses of that report setiatint, when, after discussing whether 3,000/. -should be granted for en larging the burying-ground, a di - vision took place at twelve o'clock, when a poll was demanded, and the vicar decided that the minority had the right to decide how and when the poll should be taken. They determined that it should take place then, when, by the operation of Sturges Bourne's Act, the clause was declared carried by a majority of 41. The opponents of the rate pro tested-agaiost the decision, and are to apply to the Court of Queen's B. , nch to set it aside. The meeting held on Monday night was called to dis cuss the clause whereby 18,6001. are proposed to be expended in the rebuilding of the church. The Vestry was a very crowded one, and much interest was mani fested in the proceedings. The Rev. J. G. STOREY, the Vicar of the parish, took the chair, and opened the business of the meeting by reading the clause in the Church Committee's Re port now to be taken into consideration. Mr. BLACKBURN said that before entering on the discussion proposed, he begged to call the attention of the Chairman and the meeting to the manner in which the poll had been taken at the last meeting. The me thod then pursued he held to be illegal and unjust. He protested against it at the time, and he now begged to hand in another regularly written protest, signed by many who were not present at the meeting in ques tier. The Honourable Gentleman read some extracts from a work of Mr. Prideaux's, on parochial law, militating against the principles by which the poll had on the former occasion been regulated. He also quoted the case of the King against the Churchwardens and narishioners of St. Mary, Lambeth, by the judgment - delivered in which, he contended that it was decided that it was illegal to confine the poll to the parishioners in vestry assembled ; but that when a poll was de manded, it should be kept open to the whole of the rate-payers of the parish. He thought that it was of great importance that the question as to the taking of the poll should be gone into. The CHAIRMAN said he had heard nothing to induce him to alter the opinions -or the course they had already decided upon and acted upon. He thought the majo rity by the show of hands had no right to demand any further method of arriving at a decision—the minority could, however, demand a poll. Mr. BLACKBURN, after some further remarks, moved " That the consideration of the clauses imposing rates be postponed until the legality of the method of taking the last poll should have been settled in a court of law." The CHAIRMAN declined putting the motion amid great uproar. A. PARISHIONER said that by the rule now laid down, the Chairman could put down any motion he wished not to be discussed. The CHAIRMAN—TneO I will be answerable. After a scene of great excitement and confusion, Mr. CURLING rose to a point of order, but was in terrupted by the Chairman, whose conduct he charac terised as unfair and ungentlemanly. A scene of the greatest confusion and turbulence ensued. Mr. CURLING for a long time, amid the outcries of the church-rate party, attempted in vain to be heard. Mr. BLACKBURN moved an adjournment of the Vestry until that day week. After a quarter of an hour of outcry and uproar, Mr. CLARK said that they would be guided in the imposition of the rates by the votes of the parishioners generally.—(Great cheering and uproar.) Mr. CURLING again attempted to make himself heard, and was again put down by the Chairman, who declined hearing him. Mr. Churchwarden PEU then, amid great confusion, proposed a motion, to the effect that a rate of fourpence in the pound should be levied for the raising of 20,000/., to be expended in the various works connected with the proposed new church.—(Great excitement.) Mr. Cox moved an adjournment until the 16th inst Amid much uproar, several parishioners spoke strongly in reprobation of the conduct of the Chairman at the last meeting. Mr. PEU then proceeded, amid frequent interrup tions, to speak in favour of his motion. Mr. BRETT having moved an adjournment, Mr. B. P. SMITH contended, in a long speech, that the estimates and plans proposed by the committee were more expensive and- extensive than were required in the parish. He concluded by moving that a sum not exceeding ten thousand pounds be expended in re building the parish church. After some discussion on various matters of detail connected with the building of the proposed church, the original motion and the amendment proposed by Mr. Smith were put to the meeting, when the latter was lost by an immense majority. Apoll of the parish was then demanded. This demand was put to the meeting, when it was decided by the voices of the majority that no poll of the parish should be taken. After the transaction of some other business con nected with the proposed new building, the meeting separated at a very late hour. RAILROAD BETWEEN DUBLIN AND CORK.— A meeting of the Committee, appointed in 1835 to aid in the promotion of the then contemplated railway commu nication between the metropolis and this City, took place on Thursday, at the Commercial-buildings, Samuel Lane, Esq., in the Chair, when the project was revived, and an unanimous expression given of concurrence in the vast national advantages that would arise from the undertak ing. It would appear, from what passed, that active measures are being taken to ensure the aid and counte nance of Government in carrying out the provisions of a Bill, making Limerick the terminus of the communica tion. A deputation was appointed to wait on the Earl of Bandon, at the Imperial Hotel, who received the depu tation, and entered warmly into their views of the specu lation, and intimated his willingness to preside at a public meeting of the landed and mercantile interests of county and city, to be held on Thursday, the 25th inst., in the City Court-house, and the deputation retire.— Cork Southern Reporter. .‘ I'LL Lc, IT AGAIN."—The horse of a good man living in one of the States of North America hap pening to stray into the road, a neighbour of the man who owned the horse put him into the pound. Meeting the owner soon after, he told him what he had done, " and if I catch him in the road again," said he, " I'll do it again." " Neighbour," replied the other, " not long since I looked out of my window in the night, and saw your cattle in my meadow, and I drove them out, and shut them in your yard ,• and I'll do it again." Struck with the reply, the man liberated the horse from the pound, and paid the charges himself. " A soft an swer turneth away wrath." . NEWSPAPERS.—De Toequeville, in his work on America, gives this forcible sketch—" A newspaper drops the same thought into a thousand minds at the same moment. A newspaper is an adviser who does not require to be sought, but who comes to you of his own accord, and talks to you briefly every day . of common weal, without distracting your private aflairs. News papers, therefore, become more necessary in proportion as men become more equal, and individuals more to be feared. To suppose that they only serve to protect free dom would be to diminish their importance ; they main tain civilization." FREDERICK THE GREAT.--A work entitled " Frederick the Great and his Times," is on the point, we understand, of making its appearance, wider the dis tinguished auspices of Mr. Thomas Campbell. The sub ject is one of such romantic interest, historical import ance, and intellectual excitement and curiosity, that it cannot fail to attract unusual attention. We understand that a large proportion of its personal details (which ex tend to nearly all the distinguished individuals with whom Frederick and his eccentric father came into con tact) will be entirely new to the English reader, being culled from sources which have only recently been disco vered and opened by Continental writers. The epoch in question combines in a singular and anomalous manner the barbarism of the Middle Ages, with the false refine ment, and still falser philosophy, of the school of Vol taire and Diderot ; and a just delineation of its features is still a desideratum which we understand, the forth coming work will furnish. Tug POET MA.SSINGER.—Poor Massinger The world was not his friend, nor the world's law, and b e took all opportunities to wreak his bitterness on both. Who can blame him ? S e tti ng as i de his plays,only tw striking memorials of' the man have reached posterity o The one is an abject lett er o f di stress, imploring the ad . vance of 31. to release him from prison. The other is an entry in the parish register of the churchyard of St. Saviour's :—" March 20, 16 39 -40--buried Philip Masin ger—a stranger." In the land whose language he en riched by his writi ngs, be lived--a hunted beggar. His life was one long, wintry struggle ; and no one knew, no one cared to inquire, how he died. You hear of paupers for the most part, that they go to bed in a very flattering state of health, and never get up again. So it was with Messinger. "On the 16th of March, say his biographer s , " he we n t t o b e d i n a ppa ren t health, and was found dead in the morning in his lodging on the Bankside." CONNECTIONB y. ET B W y lEi m BETWEEN A BUNDANCE OF FOO M. ELIER.—rn this me moir, which was rea d a t th e Academy of Medicine of yaris, on the 7th of September, the author established, by numerous documents drawn from the histories of various countries, that the number of deaths always cor responds with the price of food. " Whereve r there's a loaf added, there's a man born," said an economist ; and nothing is more true than this metaphorical expression. If we represent the variations of the general mortality and those of the price of bread at drent times, by two curved lines which rise- anti-faik.vviih ffe all the fluctua tions or these particulars, we shall find all their curva tures exactly, and with ;he most perfect regularity, ocor responding.

The operations are to be confined in the first instance to the conveyance of heavy merchandise from the West India Docks—the great emporium o f suc h comm odities—to London ; subsequent arrangements will extend through out the whele line, namely, from the Brunswick wharf at Blackwall to tho terminus in Fenchurch-street. it is proposed to attach one or inure loaded waggons ter every passenger train (which, as our readers are aware, run every quarter of an hour thrcughout the day), and arrangements have Leen made which will obviate the possibility of delay- from this cause. The goods will be delivered at the doer of the consignee in the same vehi cle as will be used on :he railway, the vehicle being lowered into the road so a; to render unloading and ieloading unnecessary. It is calculated that at least 2001. per week will thus be added to the Company's revenue—an estimate which we do not think is by any means ovemted, when it is considered that no extra power will be required, and consequently no further ex pense incurred, except keidentay. Wi:h respect to the passenger traffic, although it is yet far from being what it was expected to be, and what we are convinced it ultimately will be, the gradual and steady improvement which it has experienced, augurs well for its future results.

The total number of passengers carriqd on the rail way in the sistsen months that have elapsed since its opening, has been upwards of 2,700,000, and this with out loss of life or limb, or any serious accident whatever. The number of passengers embarked at the Bruns wick Wharf, Blaeksvail, during the fifteen months end ing in September last was not ►ess than 780,000. We have no doubt that nest year even this large number will be greatly increased.—Railway Times. ADDITIONAL NEWS FROM THE AMERICAN PAPERS. LATEST FROM TEXAS.—Yesterday morning, sa y s the New Orleans Picayune, the steam•packet Kingston, Captai❑ Boylan, arrived from Galveston, bringing us dates to tie 10th instant. The election returns are not yet complete, but as far as heard from, the vote for President stands 3,151 majority for Houston over Burnet ; and for Vice-Pre• sident, as far as received, Burleson's majority over Hunt is 829. There is not the least doubt of the suc cess of Houston and Burleson. The Austin Gazette says that some Shawnee traders had arrived at the settlement on Red River, and state that a " large body of white rnen had fought the In dians on the Upper Brazos for three successive days, and defeated them." This body is supposed to be the Santa Fe troops. The Gazette of August 23 has the following ".The schooner of war Campechana arrived nt Gal veston on the '2d ult., with Colonel Peraza, as Envoy Extraordinary from tha Government of Yucatan to the Government of Texas, with proposals to furnish 200,000$ tor the immediate equipment of the squadron to co-operate with them against the Cor4tralists. Colonel Paraza had gene to Austin. A proclamation has been issued by Arista, for a'l the male inhabitants of 14 ears and upwards to assemblo at Monelova, for the purpose of forming an army for the invasion of Texas early in October. This information has been imparted to the Govern ment at Austin under affidavit. The cities of Houston and Galveston still rernaia healthy. A duel was fought at Galveston on the sth ult., be tween Dr. Garden and Lieut. Lansing, both of the navy, in which the latter was severely wounded. They fought with pistols at five paces. The clothes of each were repeatedly pierced with balls, and on the sixth fire Lieut. Lansing was wounded in the right thigh. Gen. Houston is cllcted, according to the Houston Star, by a large majority. LATER FROM MEXICO. By the bark Ann Louisa, Capt. Clifford, we have Vera Cruz papers to tha 14th ult. The Censor of the 10th contains a spirited cornrnu nicAtion from General Santa Anna, dated the Bth, to the Governor of the Department, in the nature of a manifesto, in which he denounces the acts of President Bastamente, and declares his cordial adhesion to the " plan" of General Paredes and Valencia. The Censor of the 14th contains a still longer cora , munication from General Santa Anna to General Almonte (Bustamente's right hand man), dated Fort Perote, September 9th, complaining particularly of the course of the President in declaring the capital in a state of siege, placicg himself personally at th• head of the army, and subjecting the civil power to the military. He concludes by saying, " I accuse , you and his Excellency General Bustamente, of - having violated the Constitution in the matters spoken Of ; and in consequence thereof, I no longer acknowledge the authority of said General, either as the head of the army, or as President of the Republic ; nor do I ac knowledge you as the legitimate organ of the Govern ment for communications relative to the Ministry of War." The " plan of Paredos," as it is called, 1. e. the re volutionary project broached by that General in the latter part of August, finds many adherents. The de partments of Vera Cruz, Guanaxuato, Queretaro, Zacatecas, &c., are represented to have pronounced in favour of the movement. General Paredes, by the last accounts, was in Guanaxuato, at the head of 4,000 men, in connection with General Costazar. There were rumours that Tampico had pronounced, but this is doubtful. The city of Mexico has been the scene of some dii turbances—a part of the garrison having revolted—but the Government maintained its position. The extra ordinary powers of Bustamente were conferred, or as surned, in consequence of the revolutionary movements ; but the assumption of such powers seems to hare in creased the opposition to his administration. A public meeting was held at Vera Cruz, Sept. 11th, at which resolutions were adopted having in 'view the formation of a Provisional Government for the Re- C te r le sor p , u o b f li S c e a p a t o . 3 0 t f b atthees nthewatsptahpeerDsicintatthoer Re public, in lieu of that of President Bustamente. be suspended, except th e B o l etin, which was c o a r pdTietrhaeel to d issued for his own purposes.

Sugden and John Fox, both in the employ of the Low Moor Company, met an awful death at the pit near the Chapel House Inn, Low Moor. They were descending into the shaft early in the morning, one of them being employed to tend a - pony which hurries the corves in the pit, when the rope broke and they were both precipi tated to the bottom—a distance of about sixty or seventy yards. They were, of course, both killed ; but the most lamentable part of the circumstance is that there can be no doubt that they have been deliberately sacrificed, as it was immediately ascertained that the rope had been cut nearly through, and the part cut covered, so as to pre ' vent its being discovered. Many reports are in circula tion which, for the ends of justice, we withhold. Sugden ha„, left a wife , arid nine children, and Fox had been only a f ew weeks married. —Boltdn cc' Prue.
