The r sult of the Penenden Heath Meeting on d wto. not lotowr ::hen the evening papers put ° Press, and conseq u e: ,(ly we mutt be content to day longer in ignorwlce of the decision which the " Men of Kent" may be pleased to pro nounce on the great tpn.stion of civil and religious liberty. From the report of the Sun, however, which, so far as it goes, is incomparably the fullest and most satisfactory, it seems pretty evident that the Brunswickers possessed a numerical superiority, though, judging from outward appearance, (the re porter says) all the respectable portion of the meet ing was arrayed on the other side. But one man will count as well as another ; and as the sum of units will determine the victory, however contempt able these units may individually be, we think it probable enough that the Clubbists will carry the day. This is the more , to be regretted on acc oun t of the absurd and fact:ous importance which has been given to the Penenden gathering, both by the press and by the liberal party ; the for mer talking of it as if it were to decide z.r once between concession and eternal exclusion, and the latter having resolved to meet..their opponents in the field, and to show fight in defence of the good cause. The extravagance and folly of the one may easily be accounted for : in the present dearth of news, they were glad to find any thing about which they might raise a noise, and sell the "folio of four pages." But it remains to be seen whe ther the other have judged wisely in coming to the scratch upon this occasion. In such assemblages; argument and reason are utterly powerless ; num bers and clamour are to carry the day. Unless the liberal party be strongly backed, they have therefore committed a grievous ' error of which they may hereafter have occasion to repent. Left to themselves, the Brunswickers are simply contempt able ;--the ribaldry of Bacchanalian parsons, and the wild extravagances and capriecos of pot-valiant laymen, carry their own antidotes along with them. But men who are ridiculous or odious of themselves, become of consequence, nay, perhaps, formidable, when opposed ; and a triumph gained hi such circumstances is attended with a moral influence which may be productive of the most baneful con sequences. The aspect of this assemblage seems to have been equally picturesque and droll. A meet ing in the open air is of itself a novelty; and the strangeness of the grouping, which is well described in-the Sun, could scarcely fail to heighten its ef fect.. Among other marvels which it exhibited, one of the most prominent was, that hoary buffoon Cobbett, vociferating with all the force of his brazen lungs against emancipation ; while Peterloo, of patent blacking celebrity, stood at his elbow, uttering the responses. By the way, the latter has really a great deal of coarse effective wit about him, and, what is better, it is always ready for use. Some one handed him up to the waggon where he was stand. ing an empty blacking bottle, doubtless intending thereby to put him out, or turn the laugh against him. Hunt .took it very coolly from the hand that presented it, and said, with inimitable felicity : " Now this is exactly a type of the Brunswickers ; it basis forgery on the outside and filth within ;"—a retort, which elicited roars of laughter. But really this is not half so funny as an observation of that amiable young Liberal, Lord Winchelsea, who, with a solemnity of face which would iht v e disturbed the gravity of Trophonius, said—" He would appeal to those by whom be was known i whether he had ever shown himself intolerant ?"—an appeal which was answered by the most deafening shouts of laughter from " those to whom he was known," and who doubtless admired the ; modest assurance of the ".tolerant !.', youth ;from. whom it proceeded. The hero of Penenden. Heath, the black .Brunswicker, theCumherlend Clubbist, the man who in his heat: would wish that the Catholic's . .had:onli one neck that he might have the pleasure of cutting it through with his_ own -hand-this man cfnot intolerant 1" Jupiter! what does the man mean by " intoler ance I . " But we have 110 mind to wade through the ribaldry spouted by the Protestant maskers at this w;td carnival. In the speeches of the venerable Marquis Camden and Mr. Sine!, (who, with his countryman Mr. Shea, was present, and had qualifi ed by purchasing a freehold previous to the meetitg) the real object and aim of the " intolerants" of the Winchelsea school arc set in their true light ; and the Noble Marquis has shown, unanswerably, that they are attempting to intimidate, in the very-act of larraigning the Catholic Association of Ireland for practising intimidation. THE SPEAKING FRENCH GRAMMAR, Ey J. V. DOUVILLE, PROFESSOR OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE. No. 1, Soho-square ; and 2, Lawreneo.lane, Cheap Fide, Lon don. I. The Third Edition. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In preparing this edition of the SPEAKING FRENCH GRAMMAR for the Press, I have spared no pains in my endeavours to give the work the greatest possible degree of perfection. Every part of it has undergone a com plete revision ; many of the rules and observations have been simplified and condensed, so as to render them more dis tinct and easy of recollection ; while much additional and useful matter has been introduced. Extensive experience having confirmed me in the conviction that, unless a learner is early habituated to conversation, he will never be able to converse with a native of France, I have princi pally applied myself to facilitate the speaking of French to English persons. Now far I have succeeded in this great desideratum will be for the Public to decide ; and I indulge a hope that ir,!!vi:',7•ll , = will read and judge for themselves, rather than be influenced by any professions of mine. The work is concluded by a Grammatical and a Tread on French Prosody and Ver,iF, a_ tints ; besides a classified vocabulary : a Collection of Fa miliar Phrases, arranged under distinct heads ; and nume rous Models of Notes and Letters, with some forms of Bills of Exchange, Promissory Notes, and Receipts. In the exe cution of the whole, in short, the Speaking of the language has been the main object; and I flatter myself the present edition will be found much improved, and still more worthy of the liberal patronage by which the work has been dis tinguished.—l have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, London, Oct. 2S, 1828.

UNIVERSITY OF LONDON.--A paragraph having lately appeared in several of the London and country newspapers, stating that the University of Edinburgh had passed a resolution that they , would not receive the certifi cates of the Medical Professors of the University of London, because it has not a Royal Charter, we have authority to state, that the University of Edinburgh have not passed any such resolution. The certificates of the Professors of the University of London will have equal consideration with those of any of the lecturers at the London Hospitals. --By the Statuta Solennia de Doctorates in Medirina as qualifying for exa mination, in Academia Edinburgena, no c er tifi ca t es o f at eddlivered in an u n i vers i ty t m etd a a t n io c o n e , i t i m l i e tl e:i t i h ri e is se a l r i e uv r e e b ce e i e s n e - which grants the medial degree.

By the same Statute, four years' attendance upon tie lectures in the University are necessary to qualify for examination; but students from any of th e gr ea t London hospitals are allowed to graduate after three years of University study, and the same privi lege will attach to the students of the University of London.

FORGET-ME-NOT-AMULET-JUVENILE SOU VENIR-JUVENILE FORGET-ME-NOT: Lox Dort, 1829. It was a graceful and classical idea to mark the approach of winter, and smooth away No umber's frown, by such delightful little gifts as the present. It alMost makes us long for the . coming on of the season of gloom, when we feel that it is to be heralded by such Annuals. To attempt, however, any minute analysis of their various styles of excellence, whether pictorial, literary, or typographical, is beyond our power ; as much so as if in a garden of a thousand sweets, we were to attempt to inhale the perfume of each individual flower. All that we can pretend to do, in the present very circumscribed state of our columns, is to convey in few but impartial words, a tolerable idea of their nature. Of the ones we have yet seen, wegive with some hesitation the preference to Ackermann's " Forget-me-not." It has one transcendently beautiful print, which, with much judgment, is placed ad captandum opposite the title-page. We refer to the en graving taken from one of Martin's paintings, entitled " Marcus Curtius leaping into the Gulph." The finish of this master-piece of the art is really perfect in its way, and though in miniature, the engraving possesses an air of int pressive, not to say thrilling, majesty. The architectural portion, as usual, is replete with all Martin's acknowledged power, transferred by an artist of kindred talent to his engraving. Of the rest of the illustrations, as we have mentioned them before, we shall merely add that they are worthy of Mr. Ackermaun's well-known taste and enterprise. With regard to the literary de partment of the '' Forget-me-not," it is pass able ; the verses by James Montgomery, en titled the " Retreat," are the best. The " Amulet" deserves also high praise for the - very superior character of its illustrations. Who can see the engraving by Graves, of Mu rillo's sweet " Spanish Peasant Girl," and not feel struck by its extraordinary beauty ? Next perhaps in merit comes the " Moutain Daisy," being the sketch of a lovely girl from a painting by Sir T. Lawrence (to which Mrs: Hall has appended a simple and elegant tale.) The eyes of this rustic beauty alone are worth a good half hour's rapture. The " Temple of Victory" is splendid and imposing in the extreme. In his editorial capacity Mr. ; Hall has done every jus tice to his Amulet, he has absolutely left us no thing to carp at, nothing that may enable us to show off our powers of condemnation. Now this is really a grievance, and not to be thought of without pain. Having thus despatched the gentleman, we proceed—a more welcome task— to the lady. Mrs. Hall has striVen hard from a generous principle of rivalry to outstrip her hus band in the race. She hal brought forward the " Juvenile Forget-me-not," in opposition to his " Amulet." Can the polite reader think of asking us which of the two we prefer ? Suffice to say, that tenderness, elegance, and a refined feminine polish distinguish the contributions of the one ; energy tempered, but not injured, a grave devotional spirit, the other. Of the engraN iegs, we prefer that admirable one of the " Prin cess Victoria," from a bust by Behnes. What eyes I what lips ! what a sweet dimpled chin The Juvenile Souvenir does as much credit to Mrs. A. Watts, as the Juvenile Forget-me not, to Mrs. Hall. Both ladies have shed over their respective works the most attractive charms of juvenility. Its ease, its sprightliness, its arch innocence, its perfect freedom from cant or cun ning. Assuredly, if the rising generation do not become perfect patterns of taste, devotion, and morality, they have only themselves to blame; though (so much of the old school still clings, in spite of our most strenuous efforts to shake it off, to our judgment), we must confess, that in our view of the case, that invaluable " Diurnal," the " Birch," is far more effective than the most faultless " Annual." That scientific Professor of flagellation, Dr. Keate, is, we are convinced, of the same opinion. ST. JAMES'S PALACE. Whatever may be the nature or extent of the pro jected alterations now going on in that part of St. James's.Palace appropriated to the Duke of Cum berland, we can state, upon an authority which we have every reason to believe, that those alterations were began without waiting for the sanction of the King ; that, in fact, his Majesty never was con sulted on the subject at all; and that it is very far from having his approtation. If this be true—and that it is true we have no doubt whatever—we can only.surmise that the Duke of Cumberland took upon hinisqf to order the alterations; and that they arc only suffered to proceed upon an understanding that his Royal Highness shall disburse the cost out of his own pocket. Indeed, we have heard that his Ma jesty expressed himself peremptorily to that effect ; at the same time observing, that he would not allow any of the public money to be used in patching up au old palace at a time when so touch was expend ing upon the new ones. If we recollect rightly, the late Parliamentary ad dition to the Duke of Cumberland's income, was granted to him upon the express condition that his son, Prince George, should be educated in this country ; and therefore it is likely that a permanent residence will be wanted for that purpose. The place needed repairing badly enough, we believe ; and if his Royal Highness pays for it out of his own proper purse, John Bull will have no reason to com plain, however he may question the tasle of his Royal Highness in setting about an extensive al teration in one of the Royal Palaces without con suiting the Sovereign.—Morning Paper.

The plan of the buildings is very simple. There are three ranges of shops and offices, running, as the sheds do at present, from east to west. On the north side of the middle one is the fruit market, Partly. protected from the weather; and on the south side is the green market; the other two ranges form the northern and southern boundaries of these; and the potato-market and the waggon areas retain their present positions at the outside. Each of these ranges contain 38 fruit shops, or fruit salemen's counting-houses, of about ten feet square, placed back to back, and possessing a room of the same dimensions above, and, a vaulted cellar below. The exterior elevation of the north and south ranges is embellished with a colonnade of granite, supporting an entablature, and terminated by a massive balu strade, the first floor being lighted from above. The columns, which are twelve feet high, are placed eight feet from the wall of the shops, thus affording ample protection to purchasers during inclement weather, and effectually preventing the encroach ment of horses and waggons, a nuisance severely felt at present. The interior elevations of all the ranges are simply but neatly ornamented with pilasters; the windows of the upper floors being in the walls. The most prominent feature of the whole, however, will be the splendid colonnade and terrace, facing Great Russell-street. This will be nearly three times the depth of the lateral ones, and besides the row of columns common to all sides of the square, will contain a considerable number more•for the sup port of the terrace above. There are three passages or alleys which perforate the area longitudinally, and three which cross it ; of these, the two middle ones will be respeetively embellished at each end by a co linntiar gateway, surmounted by a pediment. BRISTOL. ASSIZES. BRISTOL, MONDAY NIGHT. The Assizes for this city commenced this morning before the Recorder, Sir CHAS. WETHERELL. After the preliminary business had been gone through, the Recorder addressed the Grand Jury (a most highly respectable one), at considerable length. He com menced by alluding to the sedulous and unremitting attention which had been devoted by his Majesty's Government to the revision of the laws, and to the more effective administration of justice, and stated that a similar spirit of improvement had actuated the Corporation of this city, in adopting the determina tion of holding two gaol deliveries in the course of the year, instead of one, which hitherto had been the practice. The Recorder concluded by glancing at the different cases contained in the calendar; after which the trials proceeded as follow : Joint Shipp, and Margaret, his wife, were placed at the bar, charged on a Coroner's inquest with 'killing and slaying William Ball on the 51st of May last. William Thomas stated that he had known the deceased for twenty-eight years ; Ball had taken a severe cold at Birmingham ; he came to . Bristol in the earlier part of last May, when he took lodgings at the prisoners' house, in the Narrow•plaiu ; he had only lived there a week before he died; during ;his time he *as supported by the subscriptions raised for him by witness; his complaint was asthma; witness had seen him the Wednesday previous to his death on the Saturday, when he had been bled, and appeared to have been considerably relieved. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Siiirrnt but no further fact of importance elicited. Dr. Fox, one of the surgeons of the Infirmary, had attended the deceased. Robert Johnson, a chimney-sweeper, stated,.that on the day mentioned in the indictment, he had been called in by the prisoner, Margaret Shipp, to stop up a chimney. When he received ii s directions both the prisoners were present. 'Mrs. S. said there was a flue communicating with the parlour chimney from an underground kitchen, which she wanted to hav° stopped up, and sbe gave witness a piece of old blanket for the purpose. Witness stopped up the flue as desired, and asked the prisoners what they wanted it done for, when they said that they had lodgers in the house whom they wanted -to get rid of. There was a great smoke issuing from the flue when witness stopped it up. This was between twelve and one o'clock in the day. shortly after wards witness was again sent for to come and open the flue again. On arriving he found several per sons running down stairs. lie went down too,.and found the room so full of smoke that it was impos sible to breathe in it. The deceased was lying gasping for breath. The prisoners told him to run and take out the blanket, which he did, at the same time exclaiming " Good God, you have made me kill the man I" Whilst witness was taking the blanket from the hole the man died. The room in which the deceased laid was a very small one. Both the prisoners and the wife of the deceased were pre sent when he died. Jane Ball, a very decent looking woman, the wife of the deceased, deposed that she and her husband had lodged in the prisoners' room a week previously to his death. The prisoners knew that her hus band was suffering ui.der a dreadful asthma when they took the lodgings. His breath was so short that he was obliged to stop repeatedly when he walked out, and on one occasion the female prisoner had been obliged to lend him a chair to sit down in after he had been out, before he could get down stairs to his room. He had walked a considerable way on the day before he died. On the morning on which he died, the female prisoner cAme down into their room, and gave them notice to quit. Witness paid for their week's rent. and said that they would remove as soon as ever her husband was capable of getting up. The prisoner then took the key from the door, saying that she would take good care nei ther of them should pass another night in her room. Witness i.hen made a lire, and got the deceased his breakfast, of which be partook heartily ; after which she went out to get some one to come and sit with hi m as he was too ill to get up. Ott opening the door of their room when she returned, she found it so full of smoke that she could hardly breathe; she cried out, " Oh, my God, my poor husband is smothered !" when, by a convulsive effort, le clasped round her neck, hut in attempting. to drag him out of the room, both fell backwards into the smoke : th© deceased never spoke afterwards. - The prisoners came down, and helped her to place her husband on the bed. Witness had told prisoners when she took the lodgings that her husband was too ill to work : nothing was said about the notice at the time. The witness's examinatiou at the Council lloteze, at the time the prisoners were committed, was here put in anti read. In this site did not impute any malice to them, but attributed her husband's death partly to the circumstance of his having eaten more heartily titan usual the day before, when lie had dined at his brother's house. After a severe cross-examination by Mr. SMITH, in which no new fact of moment was elicited, the Learned Counsel submitted to the Court that ;.here was no evidence to prove a felonious intent. He then called a number of witnesses to character. The prisoners, in defence, said, that owing to the poverty and iliness of the deceased and his wife, they found that they would be very troublesome lodgers, and had accordingly given them notice to quit the day after they had taken the lodgings; and further, that when they offered to send for a doctor to exa mine the deceased, his wife begged they would not c (c_ o at s h. o, ;he was convinced he had died a natural The Jury retired for about half an hour, after %Oa they returned with a vet diet of " Guilty of man slaughter against both the prisoners," hut recom mended them to mercy. Sentence--Twelvemonths' imprisonment, arid hare labour. The trial of this case occupied the Court for up wards of three hours, and excited the deepest in terest.

The supplements to the Hamburgh papers of last Saturday, received yesterday at the Baltic Coffee- house, announce the fall of Varna. This important intelligence is presented, on the above authority, in the shape of a letter from before Varna itself, which is dated on the 11th instant, and states, that on the morning of the same day, the fortress had sur rendered at discretion. " Our army," says the writer, "is now entering the place." The doubts which, under different circumstances, might have been entertained of the accuracy of this information, cannot be reasonably indulged, since we have dis covered that the previous and positive assurances given to the public by the German papers of the retreat of the Russians with their whole army from before Shumla to - Bazardjik, were absolutely void of truth. Had Count Wittgenstein been forced so far north of Varna as Bazardjik, and so early as on the 15th ult., it is clear that the besieging army under Count Woronzoff might, between that period and the Ist instant, have been much em barrassed by strong detached corps from Hus sein Pacha, if not placed in imminent dan ger of being cut off. But the ascertained falsehood of the first accounts con f ers a prima fade probability on the pre:7cnt ; an d we see no cause, in the nature of the intelligen c e, or in the date assigned to the surrender, for doubting. the authenticity or correctness of the Verna letter. Thus, then, have the Russians gained what they must have felt great need of throughout their pre ceding operations,—a powerful support to the left wing of thei:• army, in its further advances against the Turkish capital. Varna will be to them a se- cure depot for stores, magazines, and the mate riel of invasion. With this great fortress in their hands, their army cannot be tamed during its attack upon the Balkan, unless (what is difficult to con ceive) the Pachas of the north-western provinces should be able to bring down a powerful force to the neighbourhood of Shumla, keeping in check at the same time the Russians on the Cower Danube. This is the first time, we believe, that Varna has been successfully besieged by a Russian army; nor had Silistria and Giurgevo, which still hold out, escaped in previous instances. The capture of these important bridges over the Danube will now, of course, be vigorously pushed ; and Russia, it she seeks a continuance of the war, will be quail& ed to commence a second campaign with . a more perfect basis for her movements than she ever. could boast of on any former occasion. It is unquestionable that the Turks have shown great bravery, and even considerable skill and enterprise, in several actions of the eampaigs, which now seems about to terminate so unfortunately. .But they were in every case except one, viz, the simultaneous at. tacks on thie army before Shumla, which resulted in the recovery of the post of Eski Stamboul--detached and isolated conflicts, where military knowledge on a large scale had no field for full exertion. In a general battle we suppose that no army which the Porte could muster would stand half a day before 80,000 Rnssians ;. and if the ,negociations of France and England fail during the winter to bring about a peace, - the forces of Nicholas will undoubtedly try what can be done by numbers as well as discipline, in the open country of Romelia, before the end of next April. How other countries are likely to lie affected by this new change in the relations of the belligerents is a serious questiOn;and may prove difficult as well as painful in the solution. Accord, ing to the known sentiments of the military Prime Minister here, any decided superiority gained by Russia over Turkey, so as to alter the great landmarks and boundaries of the . Ottoman em pire, will be a circumstance which Europe can by no means " look at with indifference."-- It is not, therefore, too ranch to assume, that if the Duke of Wellington be a consistent per: on, his Grace is comprehended in that same Europe which will not look with indifference a. such successes over the Turks as may lend to any further territorial aggrandizement of their powerful enemy. Nor is it probable that France would look on and leave Russia unmolested mistress of this game of empire. There is no reason to disbelieve the daily representations front' Paris, that the spirit of the French people has undergone a certain change since the campaign be tween Russia And Turkey opened,--,a change which leads them to meditate Greece less exclusively, and Russia with more active jealousy, than at the outset of the war. The success of iitissis, therefore, if carried far,—and it has been conshlerable au-an-Ist Asiatic Turkey,—tends to approximate the policy of France and England : if there have been diGrences between these two Governments, to compose them ; and if not, to strengthen their spirit of harmony and cooperation. Of the details of those military.oe eurrences which must have preceded the capitulation of Varna, and produced it, the short account through Hamburgh leaves us in entire ignorance. They will soon, we take it for granted, be supplied by a Russian bulletin, and other communications from Turkey.— Times. We know not whether the Duke of Wellington still thinks a County Meeting afarce; but he must be satisfied that a C ounty Meeting may give ri. , e to many a farce. Our Contemporary of the Courier talks it in good heroics :—" Why ((midi he) should Somerset be silent ? If it cannot boast a Knatclt hull, it may be proud of a Lethbridge. Wh y should Devon be dumb ? If it can look for no help from its Representative, it can ut least afford him a hi n t. Why should Dorset be backward It has tr Bankes in its service. Why should Gloucester be unheard ? It hits a Beaufort to speak in its name." N tS V E l ruic a ;d e ). De ` Cornwall, and Dorset, and the rest doing:" says another er why co n r t l e o l t u p i ( 1 ) 1: . I i indeed to Heaven, that they hall a Winchelsea in each to Devon, rouse them." Kent has a Knatchbull and a Win chelsea, and the heroes elsewhere are few and far between. Winchelsea is one of those few great men who gains golden opinions from all sorts of nett. Mr. Cobbett seems to have been quite carried away with his appearance and deMeanour. " His argu ments," he says, " were not all Satisfactory, to be sure, but his demeanour was the best that can pos sibly be conceived ; his person tall mid stout, hia voice good, his manner unaffected." This is t h e very man for a popular idol. The Protestant religion will not, indeed, have_ portly 14 representative in Dorset , mitt then Air. bbett, tyho says he gave Lord Winchelsea tlle tr vre j tory , ', could throw his protecting sh i e ld also °araies ; for after Lord Wi n chelsea, anti I t; _ 3 Bankes, an d Sir Thomas Lethbridge to preserve the P rott sthut Constitution intac t, they will of course be ready to ass i s t him in putting an end to rotten boroughs, and tithes, and sinecures. It tvill be amusing to see Sir Thomas Lethbridge backed by his old anta gonist, Mr. Hunt, and by Mr. Cobbett. The Church surely is no longer in danger ! The lug Journal takes a very' odd way of impressint). via with a high idea of the polititld wisdom of the Sages, who went through their exercise so dex terously at Penenden Heath :—" Mir Sheil (we are told) came to vindicate the Catholic Religion agamst its assailants. But what did the - people of Kent impute to the Catholics 1 They detest the Catho lic religion, they detest the Catholic patriots, they hate Irish rebels and Popish njests, and they only demand, that against the ma;:hinations of these in-. eendiares the British Constitution, fc:; established 1688, shall he protected.

We have no doubt that this ; F . ; a ver y correct exposition of the views of the most of those who sincerely oppose Emancipation. " They know nothing of, they care nothing for Ireland," but they must have a Protestant Ascendancy, whatever be the cons,cpence.

For the first time these eight years JOHN MARTIN trek a benefit to-day. The attendance was pretty fair. Most of the supporter* bring of the Fancy in Martin's heat fighting days. The sport gave unusual satisfaction. SAM FOOTE and Jaw LATIIAM opened the sports, anti were followed by COLLINS and the BRISTOL BAKER. This bout produced thunders of applause, and what was better, a good shower of coppers. SMITH then rattled away upon the cast-iron phiz of Deaf BueNE, but was beat to a stand-still at the conclu sion. Burke is now too good to spar with a light one. DICK CURTIS and JEM RAINES then prepared for a dis play, and were well received. Dick, however, either from motives or weakness, had none the best of his oppo nent, instead of, as was expected, taking the spar out of him. At the conclusion be said that many wanted to fight him, mei he would make a match with any man, and give half a stone, for 2001. or 5001. Or he would fight any man of his weight, and bet 6 to 4 in hundreds. DICK COOPER.
