FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCA TION, for GOUT, RHEUMATISM, LUMBAGO, TIC DOLOREUX, SCIATICA, &c..—The Proprietor of FEAVER'S INFALLIBLE EMBROCATION (a compo sition of Vegetable Oils) fearlessly asserts, and will test it openly before the most eminent public men in the world, that there is not to be found a remedy a thousandth part so inno cent or efficacious as this specific,in justly celebrated for the cure of the above diseases. This assertion can be demon strated by evidences so invincibly . conclusive, as not to be op posed or doubted by fte most prejudiced sceptic. For inflam mations (no matter how virulent) it has no compeer ; in fact, there is no other remedy known that will arrest lock-jaw or inflammation which terminates in external mortification; and the Proprietor will forfeit any sum if it ever fails to wrest the fatal consequences of these riistressing dis• ewes, Which up to this time have baffled and rendered nuga tory the skill of the Most eminent practitioners in the civilised woad. In spinal diseases its efficacy is also undeviating, if applied when the spine is first pronounced to be labouring under disease. For Burns and Scalds it also stands pro-emi nently alone, extracting the fire the instant it is applied, by laying it on plentifully with a very soft brush. For Hopping Cough, Croup, Compression of the Brain, Brain Fever, Quin seY, Palsy, Paralysis, Erysipelas, Cramp, Spasms, &c., it will be found incomparable, by rubbing it on the parts affected.

JOHN WATTS, Deputy Secretary. Co RN-LAWS. S U PPR I: SSION of IN TEMPERANCE Last evening, Mr. Sidney Smith, the welt-known Corn law Lecturer, delivered a leAure upon the Corn-laws in the Temperance Hall, High street, Shoreditch. The hall was crowded to suffocati on some t i me before the lec turer entered, the seats being principally occupied by operatives. The raised seats in the Lail were occupied by a great number of well-dressed ladies, who seemed to listen with much attention and interest to the learned lectinw. Mr. Sidney Smith entered th. Ilea at about twenty minutes to eight, and was received with loud cheering. Soon after war d s t h e S ecretary to the Shore ditch Anti Corn-law A ssoc i at i on arr i ve d, an d th e busi ness of the evening commenc e d by Mr. BINGLEY moving that Mr. Solomons should take tine Chair, which being second'od, a person in the room, who we understood to be a Chartist, rose, and said he wished to ask whether Mr. Solomons was a friend to free discussion. Yesterday a festival and meeting of the City and North of London Auxiliary for the Suppression of Intempe rance, took place ttt the - Canonbury House, Islington. The extensive pleasure-grounds attached to the esta blishment were opened to the company at two o'clock, soon after which it was thronged by a number of re spectable-loolth ig and well-dressed persons. • Some of the company betook themselves to cricket and other athletic games, while the remainder either strolled through the grounds, and adjourned to where there was an excellent band of music in attendance, and tripped it merrily on the green sward until the hell announced, at five o'clock, that the tea and other refreshments were prepared fur the numerous visitors. . . PATENT LEVER WATCHES. ['ORTON and CO., WATCHMAKERS, &c., No. 36, Ludgate-street, St. Paul's (opposite Everington end Co.'s), offer to their Friends and the public their celebrated PATENT LEVER WATCHES, capped and jewelled in four holes, double bottom silver case , maintaining power, &c.. at Six Guineas, and with 3 / 4 plate Eight .luineas, of workmanship of the highest class of excellence, equal to those charged 25 per cent. higher.

Tea was laid in two large rooms communicating with each other, and every arrangement denoted a strict at tendance to the wishes and convenience of those present. As soon as the company had taken their seats, the Eight Hon. Earl Stanhope, who is President of the So ciety, entered and proceeded amidst loud cheering to the top of the room, where he was handed to a seat by the Stewards, and presided,as Chairman. After ample justice had been done to the mild beve rage which graced the table, and roll after roll, and round) after round had disappeared—[by-the-bye the waiters in attendance seemed stricken with something approaching to awe at the abdominal calibre exhibited by the Auxiliaries]—the company again returned to the pleasure-grounds, and resumed their amusements. The Noble Earl took his seat on a rustic chair at the upper part of the field, attended by several gentlemen, and seemed highly gratified with the joyous andanimating scene before him. NATIONAL LOAN FUND SOCI ETY FOR GRANTING LIFE ASSURANCES, DEFER RED ANNUITIES, &c 6 CORHILL. Mr. SoLomoNs said, if he would be silent for a few minutes he would answer him. The object of that meet ing was not for discussion. He (Mr. Solomons) was'an advocate fbr• free discussion at all times. He had always been so, and he trusted that he should never degrade himself as a man professing liberal principles.--(Cheers.) If it was the opinion of the meeting that he should take the Chair, he should gladly do so, but he must state that the object cf that meeting was a lecture, and not discussion.—(Cheers.) The proposition was then submitted to the meeting, and carried without a dissentient. The CHAIRMAN then rose and said that he was happy to see so large a meeting convened for the purpose of . furthering one of the most important considerations—one, indeed, in which all were deeply interested. His first duty was to ask for silence for the learned lecturer. He was satisfied that when he looked around him, and salt , so many of the fair sex, that -=would be a sufficient guarantee-thtt• 'the information they were atbitrto-re ceive, would be received with attention and good order. —(Cheers.) He asked them for their support, and told them again that the object of the meeting was. not dis cussion, and he hoped that no gentleman would forget the propriety of it, and interrupt the learned lecturer. He would, therefore, with their permission, introduce Mr. Sidney Smith to the meeting.—(Cheers.) And he was certain that the information they would receive on the great and important question before them, would tend very much to improve their minds and induce them to. draw conclusions whereby to benefit the whole esm munity:_.

SUNDAY ND:MT.—The London train this afternoon brought a considerable accession of company, and many of the principal lodgings have been taken, but the town is far from full yet ; the inhabitants, however, are still confident of a good meeting, and eertainly the extraordi nary fineness of the weather is calculated to neutralise the indifferent character of the entries. Coronation ar rived yesterday at Sandbeck, and is as well as ever. Tearaway is here : he was out this morning, but at so early an hour, that the curious were disappointed. He is not liked, and 30 to 1 may be had without difficulty. Middlehatn is also here, but not in favour.

After the -Secretary' had read letters - from Severe — clergymen and gentleMen,' apologising for their non attendance, The Noble CnAIitMAN roiend said, he wished those who brought the cha'rge against teetotallers of being melanchilly and morose were present that day to witness what had passed, and they would find that tee totallers were able and . willinr , to enjoy the plea sures of life better than 'others—better, he would . say, because they could not be debased by drunk euness, theil- health or mental capacities injured by it, and they could not make themselves obnox ious to the company by those discords which too fre quently disgraced what are called convivial meetings, even in high places. They were told, on high and holy authority, that health is better than riches, and none dis pute the effect of temperance in preserving it ; therefore the improvement of health was in itself alone a sufficient recommendation for inducing persons to join those So cieties. When he became a teetotaller himself he strongly recommended other to do the same, because it improved not only the health of the body, but also the powers of the mind.—(Hear.) No man had a right to enter into any inquiry relative to the private habits of. another ; but he should say of himself, that feeling this . to be a great moral reformation, of infinite importance to the improvement of the people, he rejoiced to bear his humble testimony to the beneficial effects of tempe rance upon both.—(Cheers.) If additional evidence were wanting, he would appeal to the personal observation of every one who heard him ; he would ask the inmates of hospitals what brought them there ; he would seek the cause of the majority of cases,of insanity, and he would find that they were to be primarily attributed to the effects of intemperance. From these considerations, they were bound to be not only temperate them selves, but, as far as their example and in- LIFE ASSURANCE.

HAMBURCH, SEPT. 6.—The following is the Supple mentary Convention to the Treaty of Commerce and Na vigation of 29th September, 1825, between the Senates of the free Hanseatic cities of Lubeck, Bremen, and. Ha- Mr. SIDNEY SMITH then came forward. - and was re ceived with a burst of cheering. whiP_ l .l lasted for some minutes. He said h e was come'iliere, not so much fin the purpose of deliverinc, theta a lecture, , as for the pur pose of asking them h question. That was what had brought eua poor sho.f, 'faere ? Was it to say whether the d be fed—was it to say . whether labour should !Ef.v') its rights ? He would not insult their understand ings by such a supposition. He believed they had come there to act, for the time for action had come.— (Hear, hear, and loud cheering.) The merchant was bankrupt, the manufacturer was without business, the industrious mechanic was without employment, the agricultural labourer was starving, the revenue had fallen short of the expenditure, the Queen had ap pealed to her people, and her people had answered to the best of their ability ; and yet all had been of no avail, for classes of society were suffering distress and misery throughout the country, although this coun try possessed means of wealth not enjoyed by any to the same extent. In this great metropolis there were hun dreds of individuals that wanted the common necessaries of hie, and yet, with all this accumulated evidence of misery, they stw one class, and one class alone, in this country war owing in wealth, while the other was in a state. of destitution, misery, and despair. Tl:at class which did nothing for itself, which did nothing fur the country, and arrogated to themselves the power of making the laws .for the poor, were still seeking to in crease their power; so that the great end of Government was altogether reversed—the greatest happiness of the greatest number.—(Cheers.) If any one indulged in the hope that the Tories would give them more than the Whigs, he (Mr. Smith) thought the events of the last month must have completely undeceived him. What a specimen, they had of the Tamworth quack doctor, who said he would do nothing for the patient till he had received the fee.—(Cheers.) It' he were an honest man and a true patriot, he had it in his power to make this a happy country as well as a great one. Bat now that he had received the fee, he refused to do anything for the patient.—(Loud cheers.) He would turn to that individual who had been "introduced into the Cabinet without office that he might not be responsible to the people—he who was extolled from one side of the country to the other as having acquired his fame as being the best cutter of throats—that iron I)ukc, who gave up Salamanca to three days sacking, left the women to the violation of his atrocious soldiery, and, to crown all, he who had looked on the death of Two-t ,hinds of Profits divided annually amongst the Assured. DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT. By the plan exclusively developed by this Society, a single Defarred Annuity is made, not only to answer the same object, but to far exceed in amount the entire benefit of all the ad vantages heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes through separate investments in Savings' Banks, Be nefit Societies, and Loan Banks. 1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the most ample return for after life; thus-21. Its. per annum (Is. a week) at the age of 20, will give the policy holder the fol lowing option, at the age of 65 Annuity for remainder of life... .. £47 16 6 Cash Policy, without further contributions, of 466 0 at death. Other periods of life (of 50, 55, and 60) may be also taken with similar advantages. 2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a fund always available during sickness or want of employment. 3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in case of premature death. N.B. Policies, as collateral money•security, for periods of one to five years. effected at lower rates than are charged by any other Office, (See Tables A. and B.), with option of con. tinuance for Life at the usual rates. F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec. burgh, and her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, signed at London the 3d of August, 1841. The ratifications were exchanged at London on the 28th of August, 1841 : " Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland on the one part, and the Se nates of the free Hanseatic cities of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh (each State for itsif separate) on the other part, bein g desirous of improving and extending the commercial intercourse between their respective subjects and citizens, have, with this view, and in confor mity with the stipulations of the eighth article of the Convention of Commerce and Navigation between Great Britain and the free Hanseatic Republics, signed at London on the 29th of September, 1825, resolved to conclude a CoUvention which shall be considered as Supplementary to the sbove-mentioned Convention of " Her Britannic Majesty and the said free Hanseatic 11:.publics have therefore named, as their Plenipoten tiaries for this purpose; that is to say— " Her Majesty the Queen ()folic United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Right Hon. Henry John Viscount Palmerston, Baron Temple, a Peer of Ireland, _ _ thience reached, to endeavour to promote tempe rance in others. Ile considered the spread of tempe rance amongst that class whose interests were the greatest of all, and whose rights he would ever advocate —he meant the working • men—to be of paramount im portance, not only to themselves, but to society in the aggregate. What this class spent in strong drink ought to be expended is'increasing not only the quantity but the quality of their food. He would appeal now to the middle classes of society and tell them that what is annu ally expended in intoximiting liquors is equal to, if -not greater than, the whole sum which is collected for the public revenue yearly. He would suppose the case of a man who did not consider himself intemperate, but who drank half a bottle of wine every day (and this was by no means an unusual quantity); that might pro duce no' visible effect upon him, but his annual expendi ture for wine would amount to 451. In all eases of ex penditure, the first question should be, can we afford certain items, and, if we can, the next should he, could we not turn diem to betterpurposes. If this expenditure were for an actual gratification, some excuse might pre sent itself, but it arose merely from habit, and that a habit which is snore or less injurious to health, and lays the foundation of intemperance, which shortened life, and prevented people from enjoy ing it, and prevented persons from making the full use of their mental faculties.

The Senates of the free Hanseatic cities of Lubeck, Bremen, and liamburgh, hereby agree, that British vessels coming from countries not being part of the dominions of her Britannic Majesty, shall hencefor- ward, together with their cargoes, - be admitted into the ports of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh; and such vessels shall on their admission pay dues not higher nor other than those which shall be paid, in similar circum stances, by " vessels belonging to Lubeck, Bremen, or Hamburgh. and the duties to be paid upon the cargoes of such British vessels shall not be higher nor other than if Such cargoes had bee. imported in vessels belonging Lubeck, Bremen, or Hamburgh. And in consideration thereat', her Britannic Majesty agrees that from and after the date of the exchange of the ratifications of the present Convention, the vessels of the said free Hanse atic ports shall, together with their cargoes, be admitted into the ports of all her Britannic Majesty's possessions; and such vessels shall, on their admission, pay dues not higher nor other than those which shall be paid in simi lar circumstances by British vessels ; and the duties to be paid upon the cargoes of such Hanseatic vessels *ill not be higher or other than if such cargoes had been imported in British vessels. " Art. 2.—ln consideration of the privileges extended to British trade and navigation by the first article of the British Convention, her Britannic Majesty further agrees that all goods, fares wares, and merchandise, being the produce of the States of the free Hanseatic cities of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh, or of the other States of the Germanic Confederation, or of the Sates comprised in the Germanic Union of Customs, and which may be imported in any foreign vessels from the ports of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh. or from any port situated on the Elbe or Weser, into the ports of the British possessions abroad, including Gibraltar and Malta, shall also be permitted to be imported from the said ports of the 'free cities of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh, into the ports of the said British posses sions abroad, including Gibraltar and Malta, in vessels belonging to Lubeck., Bremen, and Hamburgh, built, owned, and navigated, as stipulated in the fifth article in the Convention of Commerce and Navigation, con cluded on the 29th of September, 1825, between Great Britain, on the one part, and the free Hanseatic cities of Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh, on the other part ; and such goods, wares, and merchandise, being the pro duce of the free Hanseatic Republics, or of the other States of the Germanic Confederation, or or of the States • of the Germanic Union of Customs, and so imported in Hanseatic vessels into the ports of the said British pos sessions abroad, including Gibraltar and Malta, and all goods, wares, and merchandise, exported in Hanseatic vessels, built, owned, and navigated, as aforesaid, from the ports of the British possessions abroad, including Gibraltar and Malta, to any foreign country whatever, shall pay no higher or other duties than if the same were imported or exported in British vessels. " Art. 3. The present Convention, which shall be con ' sidered as supplementary to the Convention concluded between Great Britain and the free Hanseatic Republics, on the 29th of September, 1825, shall be ratified, and the ratifications shall be exchanged at London as soon as possibly within the space'. of six weeks.

This man was. Leing beslobbered by Whig,.and Tory, by the aristocracy of both parties, as a demigod. Let them listen to what he was about to read, as the statement of this man, at the very time When the party that do nothing for themselves, or any body else, are lauding him to the skies. What did this man say at a time of the deepest distress, when the poor labourer •was starving in the streets, and who dared not go home, for fear of being driven to distraction by the cries of his children for bread ? He says. "He i had in the course of his life been in various countries n diffe rent parts of the world, and had opportunities of know ing the circumstances of the various classes of their in habitants ; but in his whole experience, England was the ~only country in which he had ever found that the poor man, if possessed of honesty and industry, would be quite certain of acquiring a competence. Instances of the truth of this offered themselves every day to every body's observation, and it was only last week that a signal illustration occurred. In the very lowest ranks of life., not only could a competence be ac quired, but immense riches might be accumulated : " Thus were the men who were starving insulted by this statement, which was no more than saying that every poor'man must neither be a drunkard or idle, or he would be well ofil—(Cheers.) It was only for. them to rise in their strength, and teach Lords, Marquisses, Dukes, and sliding scales—(Cheers)—their places. The time was come when they would no longer submit to their tyranny.— (Loud cheers.) They had been able to wrench from them Catholic Emancipation, and they were able to wrench from them these atrocious laws. The same • strength which had raised the Revolution in 1688 could again crttsh the Aristocracy. The Learned Lecturer then took a very extended view of the working of the Corn-laws, entering very largely into details. He con trasted the price of provisions in America with England. In America, where there were no Corn-laws, provisions . were less than one-half the price they were in Englrnd. • The Learned Lecturer read to the meeting a weekly bil of a family residing in Cincinnatti, contrasting it with a bill of the same articles in England. In America the • prices were— _ S. d. 3 stones of Flour, at Is. lid. 2oz. Tea, 10.; +lb. Coffee, 21d 0 4 I ilb. Sugar, at sd. 41b. Beef, at 4d I 4 31b. Mutton, at 2d. 21b. Bacon, at 2(1. 21b.

Bacon, at Bd. 2 lb. Butter, at Is. Id. 17 7- The Lecturer then wept on by facts and arguments io prove that the Corn-laws were equally detrimental to the agricultural labourer as to the manufacturing one. The Corn-laws, he said, were only invented and maintained for the purpose of raising and keeping up the rents of the landholder. The landholders motto was— -- - That crime is great in man or woman, • Who steals a goose from off the common ; There is a crime which still was worse— Stealing the common from the goose ! • —(Laughter and cheers.) The Learned Lecturer then concluded a very long lecture of nearly three hours, having been listened with attention to throughout. The CHAIRMAN proposed a vote of thanks to the lec turer with three times three, which was responded' to most heartily: Mr. SIDNEY SMITH briefly returned thanks, and called • upon them to come up and enrol their names as Mem bers of the Branch Association. He was glad to see so many of the fair sex at these lectures. They were in deed interested in this question, for he.believed that the Corn-laws caused more you n g men to remain bachelors than anything else.--(Cheers and laught er .)

A cheer, as Mr. Sidney Smith said, always did his heart good when he heard it. It was a true British cheer, well worthy of the object. The meeting then separated.

The Noble Earl then contrasted the superior physical powers of the Mahometans to those of Europeans, which he attributed to the abstinence from ine enacted by their religion, and continued, that he knew a gentleman who, determining to be very temperate, owlet ed his servant to bring only a certain quantity of brandy mixed with water daily, but his palate be coming gradually snore accustomed to it and requir ing stronger stimulants, he went on desiring the servant to increase the quantity of brandy and decrease the water, until at last, one day, upon giving the usual order to the servant, he was told it was impossible to decrease the water further; as he had just got the brandy as it came from the rectifier's.(Laughter.) It was thus that habits of imtemperance grew imperceptibly. After some further observations the Noble Earl concluded an able and eloquent address amidst loud cheering. Mr. BUCKINGHAM, the well-known temperance dele gate, addressed a long and eloquent speech to the meet ing. which we regret space only permits us to give an abridgment. In alluding to the statement in the speech of the Noble Chairman, that as much was spent on intoxicating liquors as equalled the amount of public revenue, he said, if there was one thing snore than another-in which-Great Britain was more proudly pre-eminent amongst other nations of the earth, it was for her public charities ; yet statistics proved, beyond doubt, that the -income of them did net amount to more than one million—one-fifth of the amount spent upon intoxicating liquors. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Buckingham concluded by saying, the meet ing ought to be proud of the Nobleman who honoured them by taking the chair that night. He was the friend of the poor man as well as the Peer, or of the magnates of the land. He therefore felt proud in pro posing a vote of thanks to their Noble Chairman. Earl STANHOPE having returned thanks, and several other gentlemen having addressed the meeting, it sepa rated. "CHEAP FOOD MEANS LOW WAGES."—The Air and Calder Company have just reduced the wages of their boatmen one-fourth ; and this at a time when bread is almost at a famine price. Here we have another practical refutation of the miserable Tory sophistry, that, high-priced food means high wages. Be it remembered that this reduction in wages is effected by a company whose wealth knows no bounds. Would, or dare they, have attempted such a step, had food been cheap and trade brisk ? Answer, ye blue•smock'd slaves, who to a man do the tyrant Company's bidding at the Municipal Elections. Would ye not have spurned the tyrants, and sought and found another market for your labour? When will the working man open his eyes ? Here we have the disgusting exhibition of a Company actually wallow ing in wealth, and whose shares are paying more thanloo per cent. interest ; the first to take advantage of the times, and 'grind down the wages of the poor !—Leeds Times. THE SOOTHING SYSTEM.—Captain Mac onochi, Superintendent of Norfolk Island, has lately made an experiment upon the 1,850 doubly and trebly convicted felons there, which is worth the attention of the advocates of the silent and separate systems at home. On the occasion of her Majesty's birthday, the Captain ordered fresh pork to be issued, instead of salt meat, rum and sugar to make punch, a play to be act( d by the convicts (whether th e Beggar's Opera or Jack Sheppard is not said), and fireworks to be let off at night. In the morning, the whole 1,850 men played at cricket, and other games; at dinner, every man had a bumper of punch to drink the Queen's health, after which the air was r:nt by three tremendous iouts, Captain Moco nochie standing by and seeing every glass ser% ed out. The men then resumed their sports, and in due time the play was acted in the large mess-room. At eight, every man retired peaceably to the barracks. Not a single in stance of tumult, disorder, or accident occurred during the day, nor was a single man in confinement that evening or next day. It may be thought that Captain Mace nochie had gone too far ; that he was incurring a most tremendous risk by letting loose 1,850 felons in a small secluded island, with the very trifling means he possessed of resistance ; but he had exacted from them on the previous day a pledge that decorum should be preserved ; and that every man at eight o'clock, when the bugle sounded, would retire to his quarters. lie had told them solemnly, that on redeeming their pledge his I future confidence and their welfare would depend ; and he had a full reliance that an indulgence never before granted on the island would not be abused. The event proved that he was not deceived.—Quarterly Review. „ IJUNKELD.—LARGE SALMON.--On Monday last the Hon. Mr. Drummond, of Srathallan, killed a salmon with the rod, in the Tay, to the westward of our bridge, which weighed 411bs. imperial. This fine fish must have been the monarch of the stream ; as accord ing to the testimony of the oldest ” knights of the pint," this is the largest salmon that has been caught in this quarter for the last half century. There is preserved about the kitchen of Dunkeld House the outlines of a tremendous salmon cut on a board, killed nearly,a cen tury ago, which weighed 561bs. Dutch. The anglers of the present day have to content themselves with less weighty results.—Perth Paper. PETITION THE QU EEN.—A correspondent says :—Pray urge on your readers the importance of petitioning the Queen as well as the Houses of Parlia ment on the distre ;s of the nation, and repeal of the Corn-laws. The Queen may otherwise 1 e deceived by the Tories as to the feelings of the count] y. PRICE 5d THE RE-ELECTIONS. TAM WORTH. MONDAY EVENING, SIX O'CLOCK.—The enemies of monopoly (having resolved on bearding the Doctor in his own borough, and wringing from him, if possible, a prescription fur the evils of the country which he has undertaken to govern) appointed Mr. Acland to contest the election in this borough, rendered necessary by Sir Robert's accession to power. That gentleman has been consequently, during the last fortnight, actively engaged here, and had demonstrated beyond the possibility of doubt, that the great battle now going on, or which may be said to be only commencing, is one of might against right—of power and wealth against poverty and the masses. Mr. Acland held many meetings, and addressed larger assemblies in the Market-place, last week, than were ever known to have been collected in the same place for any political purpose. He was listened to with marked attention, and the manner in which his speeches were received proves that if the people of Tamworth were free--if they could exercise their rights according to the dictates of their conscience—Sir Robert Peel never would again misrepresent " his lovely Tamworth." As this day (the time fixed for the election) approached, the morning was ushered in by nothing more alarming than the ordinary bustle of an electioneering movement. At half-past ten o'clock, Thomas Buckenfield, Esq., Mayor, arrived at the Town-hall, and immediately after the Hon. William Peel, brother of Sir Robert Peel, and the Committee of the Hon. Baronet entered. Mr. Acland was accompanied by .Sir Charles Wolsley and others. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, S. TYLECOTE, Esq., came forward and said; he would only remark that if any person came forward to oppose the Hon. Baronet, he would treat him with indignant silence. He knew that one great principle which actu ated all these walking heroes was almost similar to that which actuated men who went about setting fire to men's - houses. They' S - et fire to every man's mind that they I could reach. They were men of that description, and he would have them set down. WILLIAM ROBINSON, Esq., seconded the nomination. A working man named Vaughton, a shoemaker, then came forward and said, having been an elector in that borough for the last 50 years, he thought he had a right to propose a candidate, acid he begged leave to propose James Acland, Esq., as a fit and proper person toirepre sent that borough in Parliament.—(Loud groans and laughter from Sir Robert Peel's party.) . A working man named FosTEn then came forward and was received with loud hissing and groaning by the same gentlemen, after which he said he seconded the no mination. The Hon. 'Wm. PEEL then rose and said it might perhaps he as well that he should then state to them the course which he meant to pursue, standing there as the representative of the Right Hen. Sir Robert Peel. When they should have re-elected his Right Hon. relative, he should in his name, and at his request, express to them his most sincere and grateful acknowledgments for their uniform kindness towards him for the honour they con- ferred upon him, and more particularly for the very great kindness he had received at their hands since her Majesty the Queen had been graciously pleased to sum mon him to her councils, and since, by his acceptance of office, his seat had become vacant. He trusted it was unnecessary for him to say he would act no part in the very absurd farce which had been got up for the purpose of offering a vexatious annoyance to Sir Robert Peel, and to the immense majority of the electors of that borough. Mr. ACLAND then came forward, and was received with loud hissing from Sir Robert Peel's friends and cheers from the people. Mr. Ackland then proceeded, amongst the most discordant yelling from opponents to deliver a few sentences, which increased the fury of the party. He said their conduct was only in accordance with their despotic principles, and he could not expect better from men who were the occupants of a rotten borough. This last observation sensibly affected the respectable supporters of the Premier, and two of the most respectable of the party rose and called upon those.present not to allow Mr. Acland to proceed. The request was sought to be complied with, and, for at least one hour, they kept up a constant yell, interspersed with the most insulting language. Mr. Acland, however, was not to be intimidated, or stopped, and with the utmost coolness and courage, he continued his address, and went through the whole of those general arguments against the Corn-laws with which the country is now pretty well acquainted. lie dwelt with much force upon the awful distress which prevails in many parts of this kingdom. His description of the state of the poor rather scorned to increase the ire of his opponents, and called forth renewed bursts of dis approbation. He continued his adlress upwards of two hours and a half, which produced a strong impression upon many who heard it. At the close of his speech a show of hands was called for by the Mayor, and declared in favour of Sir Robert Peel. Mr. ACLAND then said he had been instructed that if he dissented from the declaration of the Mayor it would part m Aaven. is go to a poll - without him (Mi.. Acland) de manding It. 'rue sown Clerk,decided that such was not the case; ,/)-,1 the Mayor - accordingly declared Sir Robert Peel duly elected. :ale lion. W. PEEL then returned thanks on behalf of the Right Hon. Baronet, in a speech of some length; after which the hustings were soon cleared. Mr. ACLAND then went to the window of a public house and commenced addressing a considerable body of people.

It is probable that his Majesty will also visit Warsaw. The health of the Empress Alexandria is better than it has been for the last three years. This happy circum stance is chiefly to be ascribed to the use of medicated baths. A Joint-stock Company in England has obtained the Emperor's permission to make an iron railway from Moscow to St. Petersburgh, and will begin its operations perhaps this autumn, but certainly in the spring. Five years are allowed to complete the whole line, which will be 33 miles longer than the common road between Mos cow and St. Petersburgh, because it is to pass through to Bybinsk, in the Government of Yaroslaw, on the right bank of the Volga, because that town carried on the most extensive corn trade with St. Petersburgh.

EXETER, SEPT. 13.—This was the day appointed for the election of a Member, in consequence of Sir W. Follett having taken office. The election was fixed to be holden in the Guildhall at ten o'clock. The hall will hold about 600 or 700 persons when densely filled. The High Sheriff (Henry Hooper, Esq.) entered the hall just before ten, accompanied by the Under-Sheriff. The business having been opened, . Sir W. Follett was greeted with hearty cheering by his friends; and the preliminaries having been all completed, JOUN CAREW, Esq., the Mayor, rose to propose Sir W. Follett, which he did in a temperate and able speech. J. B. SANDERS, Esq , seconded the nomination, and both proposer and seconder were received with cheers. There being no other candidate, Sir W. FOLLETT rose, and was received with much cheering. He said: It is true, gentlemen, that a short interval has indeed passed since you did me the honour, at a contested election, to return me as your Member at the head of the poll. But during that period, as your respected Mayor has said, an important political occurrence has taken place— the Parliament met soon after the late elections, when an appeal was made to the sense of the country, and the first step that has been made by both Houses of Parlia ment has been to declare by very large majorities, larger than ever existed in a parallel case in the history of our country—that the late Administration did not possess the confidence of the country. I did feel it my bounden duty, as a Member of the House of Commons, to give :ny v , .,te in favour of that proposition. Gentlemen, the result of that vote has been the formation of a Conserva tive Ministry ; and I do venture to hope and believe that the country will now have the benefits and advantages which it has long needed of a firm and efficient Ad minisiratton, possessing not only the confidence of the Crown, but the confidence of both Houses of Parliament and the country.. —(Hear, hear, and cheers.) I know that that Administration will be conducted on this occasion upon principles, on the maintenance of which the prosperity and happiness of this country de pend. The lion. and Learned Gentleman concluded by thanking them for the honour conferred on him. The meeting then dispersed. He will be chaired at one o'clock. WESTMORLAND. " THE TRICKY AND SLIPPERY ALDERMAN."- - We have stated elsewhere that Lord Lowther has been called to the House of Peers. His Lordship, with that care which becomes the " father of his people," has, it seems, provided his successor to the representation of West morland ; and who should it be but Mr. Alderman Thompson !—a gentleman who has not left himself a rag of consistency. Yet this is the man whom Lord Low ther selects and sends down to represent the honest grey-coats of Westmorland. If they submit tamely to such an insult, they deserve to be branded as serfs and slaves during the remainder of their lives. SUNDERLAND. S UND ERLAND.—thi Friday afternoon Lord Dungan non arrived in the borough, but instead of proceedir g with his canvass, as was expected, a consultation of his friends took place at the Thompson's arms, which ended in the publication of a hand- bill, stating that as he found, on his arrival in the borough, Mr. Matthias Wol verley Attwood was ready to come forward, he begged to - resign in consideration of that gentleman's superior qualifications to represent a shipping and commercial town. It is stated that Lord Dungannon was given to understand there would be no opposition; and on learn •. q: th,t Lord Howiek had come forward, declared that he would not stand a contest. Mr. Attwood, who was staying at Newcastle (having come from London with Mr. Alderman Thompson), was immediately in the town, and addressed a number of his friends on the same evening in the large room of the rhompson's Arms Inn. . Both in his speech and printed address he has been silent as to the Corn !aws—a very prudent course; but silence on this subject he will not be able to preserve. At eight o'clock a meeting of inhabitants, convened by the Chartists, was held at the Temperance Hall. It was announced by Binns, that his colleague, Mr. James `Y';,iams (who. it will be remembered, was tried Zr c sedition at Durham). had gone to London to bring down with him, if possible, a gentleman who would said, sup port the five points of the Charter ; and, he sar ,_ r. was very probable their great 'ender himself, 3l Feargus O'Connor, might Nine forward . as a candidate he _ nthe for Sunderland.

The Secretary-at-War will not be opposed. The Duke's (Northumberland) ponderous influence with some, and a " mess of pottage" with others, places Mr. Collier's, or any other Liberal-minded Anti-Monopolist's chance of a successful contest quite aside: Sir Henry's address has ap peared—it is not worty of comment. The East Corn wall election will probably come on on Thursday week, and on Thursday week, and in this district, from the opention of the Chandos clause, Lord Eliot's return is secured without opposition. It might be added, more over, that his Lordship is extremely popular hereabouts. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.--The acceptances of the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Banking Company have been disho nom ed, their London agents having refused to meet them for want of sufficient funds. This joint-stock bank commenced business in April, 1834 ; the nominal capi tal was 500,0001., and at the -end of 1836, since which date, we believe, there have been no adcitional pay ments, the amount of capital paid up was 81,450'. Their branches are five in number. They had engaged in a very extensive business, and a large amount of the bills which were dishonoured on Saturday, were drawn by a house in New York. Although the bills were disho• noured, the London agents continued on Saturday to pay the notes issued by the bank, which were generally of a small amount. To day, however, the notes which were presented in an early part cf the day the agents declined to meet, requesting the presentees to wait till the close of business. The Directors, who are in town, have been busied during the day in endeavouring to come to ar rangements with various banking-houses, offering to transfer the agency in case the needful assistance were afforded. In the course of the day they made remit tances to their present agents for the express purpose of meeting their notes of issue, and thus these, it is under stood, have been entirely paid off. In the meanwhile the acceptances, which constitute the bulk of their re sponsibilities here, arc still unpaid, and to the close of business it does not appear that the Directors have been able to effect an arrangement with any of the banks, pri vate or joint• stock, in the city. CHRONICLE. Intelligence of an unsatisfactory character has transpired to-day regarding the position of the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Joint-Stock Banking Company, whose drafts on. Messrs. Barclay, Tritton, and Co., their London agents, were refused on Saturday. The head-quarters of this establishment are in the town of Nottingham, and their branches and places of issue are at Newark, Mansfield, Worksop, East Retford, Tuxford, and Loughborough. The nominal capital is 500,0001., and the paid-up capital something about one-fifth of that amount. 'The Shareholders are .about 350 in number ; several of them are said to be wealthy. Considering the large amount of nominal ca pital in comparison with what has been paid up, we cannot suppose that the public could suffer any loss, even if the establishment should not find it prudent to con tinue business. We had occasion the other day to express our belief that M. Surra y Rull, the Spanish Minister of Finance, fully intended to carry out his plans for the payment of the interest on the Indemnity Bonds, and for the capi talisation of the Coupons into a Three per Cent. Stock. Events have since proved the correctness of the belief we then expressed, founded on the " upright and firm conduct" of the Spanish Minister. Our Madrid corre spondent states that the bills for payment of the Indem • nits Bonds have been forwarded to London along with prt.posals to Mr. Thornton, Chairman of the Committee of bondholders, requesting him to act as banker to the Sranish Government, and as such to undertake the con y, rsion of the Coupons. The duty thus sought to be thrust upon the Chairman of the Committee of bond holders is, no doubt, an onerous and a difficult one; and we shall not add to either by offering any premature opi nion. Bat we trust that he will, on no account, relinquish the proffered office without due consideration, and with out being convinced that the interests of the bondholders would be improved by his delegation of the trust to other hands. ADVERTISER. The anniversary of the S'ave Emancipation, the Ist of August, had passed off tolera bly well in Jamaica, but not entirely peaceable. In Spa nish Town and Kingston there had been crowds of pea santry from the country to make purchases for the cele bration of the grand day, but no disturbances, nor any interruption of the public tranquillity, had occurred there in consequence of this great influx. In one locality, however, matters did not go off quite so well, for on Pie Adelphi estate, the negroes refusing to put their hands to a stroke of labour on their holiday, the overseer him self was obliged to turn the proprietor's cattle into }lie pasture set apart for that of the negroes, who conse— quently manifested extreme indignation, fell upon the overseer, whom they beat rather severely, and other wise conducted themselves in a riotous and tumultuous tianner. The offenders, however, were certain to meet the punishment of the law for having thus disturbed the harmony of so auspicious a day. The weather seems to have been favourable for the crops in nearly all the cola nies but Barbadoes, Inhere it was again too dry, and it was apprehended that the Indian corn harvest would suf fer therefrom, and rove very deficient. The P,arbadians their food so cheap as they did. _ SUN.—In expectation ofirioney becoming easy upon the release of the foreign corn from bond the Money Market is assuming a more tranquil and buoyant appearance. In the Stock Market, however, there has been very little going to-day. There is only one unfavourable feature at pre sent, and that is a fall in the price of gold at Hamburgh, accompanied, as it is, by a decline in the exchange on London. The tbrmer of these occurrences, viz., the cheapness of gold, may act. as a counterpoise to the latter, and ere long casion a retiux of bullion to this country. Consols for immediate transfer were marked at S9l to and for the Account, 90k to I. The unfunded debt remained at a premium of 12s. to 145., and East India Bonds were steady at 3s. premium ; the New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 98 to i l, and East India Stock was at 2461, being rather lower for the latter, though we only heard of one bargain. Spanish Active Bonds were a trifle higher,. viz., 211 to 4, and the Three per Cent. Portu guese Stock was done at 181 to 1. The South American Bonds are neglected. Colombian of 1524 are at 21 to 201; French Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted at 77c. 25f.; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, 511 to a Belgian. Bonds, the Old Five per Cents. were steady at 103. For Great Western Railway Shares the price has been 14 to 131; for the New, 4'l ; for the York and North Midland, 25; for the London and Birmingham Quarters, 17k, and tbr the South Western, 194 to 111 premium; Brighton Shares were 4, Blackwall 14}, Croydon Mid land Counties 25, and North Midland New discount. National Provincial Bank of England Shams were Ito discount. MORMONISM.—It is truly lamentable, in an age overt'owing with intellectual light and learning, that anything in the shape of superstition or delusion should be countenanced for an instant, or that any set of wr n should be found so base as to practise deceit, under the garb of religion, upon the mor e i gnorant and, limits. pecting of mankind. A branch o f thi s new Sect, the Mormonities or Latter-D a y -S a i nts, as they 'are pleased to style diemselves, has arisen here I and from the superstitious, delusive, and ab.urd. notions in culcate d by the American Saint, its founder, it is not perhaps so much to be wondered at that a few ignorant and silly-minded individuals should be led away.
