" The editor has deserved well of his country and of the church of God for his present undertaking." " A very high meed of praise is due to the pious mad bene volent editor for having, at the expense of a large sacrifice of money as well as if time, accomplished an undertaking to which hitherto only the exertions of an episcopal bench, and the ex penditure of national funds have been deemed adequate." " Sacred regard has been paid to the moulds of thought and expression which our venerable translators had used." " A multitude of the emendations are admirable, and while they bring out more fully the spirit of the original, they strikingly tend to elucidate the truths and facts of the sacred oracles." " The editor has impaired no doctrine of the Gospel ; has ventured on no conjectural renderings ; and has done no vio lence to the evangelical spirit of the inspired oracles. In not a few instances he has shed light on the sacred text by placing it in a clearer point of view ; while by better renderings he has removed many contradictions and indelicacies out of the way of the English reader."

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which is now presented to the public, ten thousand copies have been exhausted since its first appearance, has been very much improved and enlarged by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general principles, as also by the insertion of several new and highly in teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a class of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, have been either altogether overlooked, or treated almost with indiffer ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner. The proverbial and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who traffic on the health and credulity of patients, has been en couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the authors have fur a considerable time devoted themselves ex clusively to a certain class of diseases ; of the necessity of se doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex clusive and undivided attention to this department of medical practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of consumption, which, however, when traced to their source, are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more applicable than in medical practice.

The one at the suggestion of the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer—the other at the suggestion of the Lord Chancellor. The object of the first of these Commissions will be to inquire into the charge of collecting the public revenue, and of considering whether it will be possible to effect any reduction in that charge, either by the consolidation of offices or by the suppression of them, or by new ar rangements, for the receipt and transmission of the revenue. This Commission will also inquire whether any addi tional facilities can be given for carrying on the com merce and manufactures of the country without loss or risk to the revenue. We understand that Lord Granville Somerset, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Bingham Baring, Mr. Milnes Gaskell, and Mr. Pringle, have undertaken to conduct the inqui ries above referred to. Lord Granville Somerset, who will preside oche Commission, took a leading part:in the investigatiM on which the reductions made by the Duke of Wellington's Government in 1828, 1829, and 1830 were consequent. It is probable that the Commis sioners will visit some of the principal outports for the purpose of examining personally into the mode of con ducting business. The object of the second Commission, which the Lord Chancellor proposes to institute, will be to examine into the forms and modes of proceeding in the Courts of Equity, with a view of rendering the system lass cum brous, and the progress of a suit less tedious and ex pensive. We have reason to believe that Lord Langdale, Mr. Pemberten, and Mr. Wigram, who has been recently appointed Vice-Chancellor, have undertaken to lend their invaluable services for the conduct of this investi gation, which, like the other, will be carried on without any charge to the public. The preceding announcement, we are sure, will be , read with sincere satisfaction. Perhaps there is no very great pecuniary saving to be made by the sup pression or consolidation of the offices connected with the collection of the revenue ; but saving is not the sole object ; another and at least equally important consideration is the feeling of the public, who revolt not so much at the actual amount of the total yearly levy of taxes, as at the proportion of that levy which is withdrawn from the national ser vices by the expenses of collection. The impediments, too, which various branches of commercial dealing not unfrequently sustain from the operations of fiscal regu lation, are infinitely irksome to men of business, and the removal or modification of them, as far as may be prac ticable without loss to the revenue, will be a boon very highly "glued by all the classes connected with the foreign trade of die country. The direction of the in quiry is committed to a Nobleman eminently qualified by his official experience to conduct it with sagacity and judgment ; and the whole measure, unforced as it has been by any Parliamentary requisition or popular outcry, affords a most satisfactory earnest of the Government's sincere desire to administer the public affairs fur the public good. The other of the proposed Commissions, that which has been instituted for the purpose of examination into the proceedings of courts of equity, holds out the pros pect of advantages still more important. The delays and expenses of those proceedings have for centuries been a curse to the country, and a slur upon its jurispru dence. The names of the Commissioners, two of them presiding over courts of equity, and the third, the ablest and most eminent man whom the bar of those courts has boasted in our time, are sufficient guarantees that no half-considered, headlong changes will be at tempted ; but we trust, from their enlarged views and their elevated position, that they will feel them selves entitled to treat the subject boldly, and to recom mend a large re-casting, not, indeed, of the principles which regulate the decisions in Chancery, but of its general procedure—for instance, by an effectual curtail ment of pleadings, by a devolution upon the Masters of a variety of duties and powers now vested only in the superior Judges, and by an extensive substitution of parol evidence for affidavits and written depositions. Sir Robert Peel's reforms are not of the kind which fill the pockets of Reformers. The revisions here con templated tend on the contrary to the retrenchment of patronage and the reduction of expense ; and if they repay their authors, it will be only in the approbation and respect of the public.—Times. WOOLWICH—Nov. A. ROYAL ARTILLERY. Owing to the great destruction of muskets by the late fire at the Tower of London, it is intended to remove those at present used by the Royal Artillery and in store at Woolwich, amounting to 7,000, to the Tower, in case they should be required for particular service upon short notice. The gunners and drivers of the Royal Artillery will mount guard with swords, in the same manner as the men of the Royal Horse Artillery. PERC USSION SHELLS. It will be in the recollection of the readers of The Sun, that during the past summer we gave full accounts of va rious experiments made by several inventors of percussion shells in the marshes at Woolwich, the liberality of the Board of Ordnance having afforded every facility for that purpose. It now appears that nearly at the same time as these experiments were made here openly, similar experi ments were carried on in France by the students of the ' Polytechnic School, by order, or, at least, under the im mediate sanction of Louis Philippe and the French Go vernment, but so secret that they were not noticed by the press. Notwithstanding all the care that was taken to keep the experiments and their result secret, we know that the number of shells fired were 200, and that two -1 thirds of them succeeded, and that they are ordered to be introduced into the French navy.

TlMES.—According to a private letter from Macao, dated the 22d of August, and which is deemed in the City of very good authority, the following are the con ditions which Sir Henry Pottinger, under his instruc tions from this Government, is to demand from the Chinese as the basis of a treaty of peace between the two Powers :- 1. The opening of all the Chinese ports .situated on the eastern coast to all European nations without ex ception, who will be permitted to trade freely, subject to a moderate duty on the entry and departure of their vessels. 2. The abolition of the monopoly hitherto enjoyed by the Hong merchants. 3. The appointment of an English Ambassador to re side at the Court of Pekin. 4. Indemnity to the English merchants for the loss sustained by the destruction of opium and the abolition of the trade. As usual when the Government is in any difficulty on a point of finance, there are abundant suggestions as to the best means of getting out of it, and no topic has been more fertile in this respect than the affair of the spurious Exchequer bills. One suggestion which has been current to-day strikes us as both novel and inge nious, and as it proceeds from one of the most expe rienced members of the Stock Exchange, it comes with some weight and authority. The notion is founded on that peculiar state of the market existing at present, which has paralyzed the sale of Exchequer bills, but has improved the condition of the funded debt, and would ' have improved it still more, had not the public been constantly supplied with the new scrip. Hence, it is thought, that as the Government have at their disposal the stock of the savings'-banks, they might avail them selves of it for the purpose of taking Exchequer bills out of the market, and thus substituting one security for another, with a small advantage on their own side. It is thought there is the greater propriety in this, as the funding, though chiefly effected by Exchequer bills, still leaves this weight upon the market. The alarm produced yesterday by the statements that were believed in the very best quarters, of a number of spurious Exchequer bills having been bought and sold in the regular market, has, in a great measure, subsided to-day, having proved upon inquiry to be almost wholly without foundation. After the most careful research, it seems that beyond 8,0001., sold by the Bank, and that since the first alarm, only one spurious bill of 1,0001. has been discovered, which was purchased as far back as last May, and would appear further to have got into circula tion almost by accident, for out of a large parcel of spu rious bills, one perfectly genuine has been discovered. It is supposed that the party to whom these belonged, finding himself short by one bill, namely, the bill that got into circulation, supplied its place by purchasing a genuine one. Hence the former belief is restored, that all persons who purchased their bills in the regular mar ket before the 21st of October, may consider themselves I secure. CHRONICLE.—A member of the Stock Exchange, who had been examined by the Committee touching his connection with Rapallo's speculations in the; Foreign Securities, and who stated during his examination that he lad committed his books to the flames about three weeks previously, as he did not suppose they would be wanted again, has, it is understood, since found his books, which, by some miraculous agency, have again been brought back to existence. It is understood that at the period of the attempt of Louis Napoleon on Bou logne, the Rapallo party were actual and optional Bears of 3,000,000/. of Consols. On the failure of the attack the Funds rose rapidly, which must have pun ished those connected with the speculation most severely. It is of no use for the bone fide holders of the Exchequer bills to hang upon their oars in the expectation that the Government will come forward to their assistance. Heaven helps those who help themselves, and they need not expect to be made exceptions. The impounding of the bills and the retention of them, to wait the directions of the Lords of the Treasury, showed very clearly that those bills which do not correspond with the counterfoil will not be returned to the holders, and that payment will be resisted of the whole as forgeries. The object of seeking for a committal of Rapallo on the plea of uttering forged bills, knowing them to be forged, is evidently to justify the Government in their determination to resist payment of all the spurious bills. From prudential considerations the deputation to wait upon the First Lord of the Treasury was postponed, fearing, we presume, that it might compel him to deli ver his opinion prematurely. That is a fault which he generally takes special care to avoid ; and even if the statement of the case of the innocent holders should have the extraordinary effect of inducing the Premier to be explict for once in his life, it would surely be better for those concerned to know the best and worst of it than to remain in their present uncertainty. The notion of any benefit arising to their case from delay is, we suspect, perfectly visionary. The bills which have been im pounded will be produced in Court, we presume, if the holders raise an action for payment, but not otherwise; and as the notice from the Exchequer gave distinct warning that the bills would be retained, we do not see that those who parted with their property under:such circumstances can complain of the impounding. We are not surprised that the Government shoull have laid such a trap to get the better of their own neglect, but we certainly are I ra ther astonished that so many people of sound s ense should have been caught by it. Some people, we believe, were induced to send up their bills, and others to remain quiescent in fear of exciting the hostility of the Government. Those well-intentioned gentlemen should consider, however, that the only way to obtain the good opinion of the Executive will be to submit quietly to the loss of all their bills. They will make no advance in the good graces of the Treasury by merely postponing their claims. They may injure them selves by that course, but they need not expect to get their bills paid by waiting upon Providence. The only course is to let the Government know the danger in which public credit is placed by the course they have indicated their intention to pursue, and that if it be ad hered to they must be prepared with 22,000,000 L of cash in March and June next, to pay the bills which will then. be sent in for payment, as the floating debt must in that case continue perfectly unsaleable and useless as a security for money. Our Contemporary the Post devotes more than a co lumn of its pages this morning to the cause of our ho nourable friend Mr. Tasker, and his everlasting Trea sury Bonds. The flood of virtuous indignation with which we are assailed in this fresh attack is irresistible. For our own part, we are fortunately used to it, but we should not be surprised if his Excellency the Spanish Minister of Finance really sunk beneath its force. and granted the preference to the Treasury bondholders over the other creditors of his country, which our Con temporary so eloquently advocates. We must hope for the best, however, and still trust that Senor y Bull will adhere to his bill of the Bth July, regulating the terms of admission of the holders of the Treasury bonds to the benefit of Gamboa's decrees. We see no dis crepancy between his letter to Mr. Tastier and the bill itself ; but we must repeat that on this point Mr. Tasker acts unjustly to himself and his constituents by withholding a copy of his letter to Senor y ' Bull, enclosed in his appeal to Lord Aberdeen. With out that document his fellow-sufferers, as well as our selves, are totally unable to appreciate the extent of their s oo t wr a. c t stated af informationdelinquencies.that small the - f. y t d e o t i l ll ti s d l consists l Tasker had " felt himself called upon as the Treasury bondholders, to inquire of Senor y Bull upon what principle it was he intended to proceed, so as to place them upon that footing on which it is admitted by him the special character of their claims entitles them to stand. We ought really to be favoured with a copy of this comtnunication to the Spanish Minister, which, to use the emphatic language of our Contemporary " makes everything, clear, lucid, and intelligible," instead of "our crooked way of interpreting things," whereby it seems that nothing can result but " discord and con fuson." We trust that our application may yet be lis tened to, and that this new statement of the ease of the Treasury bondholders may be made public. Being with out the benefit of the information it contains, we may labour under error, which its light would instantly dispel. There is one point on which it is our duty, in the meantime, to enlighten our Contemporary. He must not suppose, for one moment, that the " controversy has been revived," for this plain reason, that it never began. We have merely administered a little merited castigation to a few puny assailants, so much swallowed up in their own conceit, and in maintaining the " due and forfeit " of their bonds, that they could not suffer an opinion to the contrary. We have always satisfaction in pulling down such jackdaws from their perch. POST.—The circumstances brought to light by the examination of Smith and Rapallo, at Bow street and the :Mansion House, are such as to prove very com pletely that the whole of the Exchequer bills issued by the former, without auth or i ty , are f or geries. Smith, in his admissions, expressly states that he gave out the printed forms for the purpose of being filled up by an other hand, and the Government appear, therefore, to be fully released from the n ecess ity of treating with parties on the subject of i n d emn ifi ca tion- A claim is made in behalf of those who had the precaution to go to the Exchequer-office to get their bills verified, and who are assumed to have had no cause, from the statement there made to them, to doubt that they were genuine ; but these persons unfortunately addressed themselves to the criminal in chief, Mr. Smith, and who, of course, took care to satisfy all callers on that head. Many inquiries have to be made, and many points of law and commercial usage to be discussed, be fore the validity of such a claim can be conceded. The Times, after insisting with great earnestness upon the surrender to holders of the bill s d epos it e d for examina tion, under the mistaken idea that the forgeries were exe cuted by a Government clerk, and this within the walls of the Exchequer-office itself, now abandons its preten sions on that score, and, desisting from the factious at tempt to get up a conspiracy to refuse any further exchange of paper, and to demand payment in money, assumes to-day a tone that d enotes a consc i ous ness of over-precipitation. The Times says : " The confession of Mr. Smith to Mr. Maule, the So licitor to the Treasury, that many bills were given to Mr. Rapallo with the numbers only, and without the signature, is very alarming, since, as far as these bills are concerned, it is doubtful whether they would afford a chance of action against the Government, never having been regularly issued across the count er , b u t on ly acquir ing the power of circulation in the hands of the party out of doors who might haye added the signature." Our Contemporary Conceives that the chance of the holders of these counterfeits is "doubtful ;" but, with due submission, we contend that there can be no doubt whatever in the case. Doubtful, indeed ! We hear that scarcely a bill of the unauthorised emis sions has been actually sold; and this point being estab lished, it is clear that the holders at large must have held under the most questionable circumstances. Re straints were imposed which indicated in the plainest manner that the bills had not been honestly acquired. In the case of a genuine Exchequer bill there can be no occasion for mystery, or for whisperings, and conceal ment ; and where are we to look for parties among the self-called " sufferers" who obtained the forged instru ments by straightforward, open negotiation ? It is scarcely " doubtful," in our humble apprehension, whether individuals who knew, as these persons did, " what was going on" (for so Rapallo expresses it), ought, or ought not, to be severely dealt with at the hands of Governm•nt for the suppression of such proceedings. The Crown has far more to fear from the manifesta tion of a weak half willingness to connive at the gross immorality with which the Exchequer bill fraud is sur rounded, than f'om that O 4 firm and uncompromising determination to do justle•l The public now perceive that the floating debt has can subjected to much less official tampering than this', was, in the first instance, reason to suppose, and w• should consider it exceed ingly unwise in Government to give its sanction, in how ever negative a sense, to the daring liberties that have been taken with it. _ _ It has not, perhaps, occurred to the Times that those who proceeded to the Exchequer-office some time ago to got their bills tested, did so possibly will the full know ledge that Mr. Smith was the only person in attendance to whom they could safely submit them. Recourse might have been had to the expedient as a crafty method of placing them in the comparatively favourable position in which they now find themselves in the estimation of the public. Such extraordinary caution, though not ob jectionable in itself, certainly betokens anything but that simplicity of dealing for which credit is taken. The Morning Chronicle defends these forged Exchequer bill holders, on the ground that the forgeries are not, after all, greatly inferior to the genuine bills. Wo hare here his reason for the announcement of that generous conviction : " It is," he observes, " now established beyond all question that the spurious bills and the genuine are in all respects the same, with the sole exception of"—what is the reader prepared to hear?—" with the sole excep tion of the signature ; the signature of Monteagle, which the Deputy-Comptroller states he can at once detect to be forged, as it is neither in his own handwriting nor that of the Comptroller-General." Our Contemporary alludes to the conflicting statements of Smith and ltapallo. Rapallo is so far at issue with his ally as to declare in the teeth of the latter that he had the bills from him in a complete state, yet this the Chronicle deems of little consequence, so long as another momentous assertiou remains untouched—namely, that the stationery is the same. He says—" Be that (the die crepancy in the statements of the two prisoners) as it may, we now see clearly that the whole of the bills al leged to be forgeries are in all respects identical with those admitted to be genuine, with the single exception of the signature." But a little farther on we find that there is also some slight discordance between the forged bills and the coun foils : " The paper, printing, and stamp, are all confessedly the same in the genuine and spurious bills. There is no attempt to dispute that fact. There is nothing in ques tion but the signatures, and the technical point of agree ing with the counterfoil." Our Contemporary goes, as usual, strongly for th e " broad, equitable principle," and accordingly winds up with the comfortable conclusion, that " even if the bills were not signed by him (Mr. Smith) the case of the in nocent holders is still entire, and, in every equitable point of view, clearly irresistible." The same fertile genius has favoured the world with many amusing essays on the purity of financial economy, but, on this occasion, he surpasses him self. He writes in the true spirit of the modern free-trade school. Monopoly is his abhorrence, in whatever shape or guise it comes before him. Even a monopoly of signatures is incompatible with the temper of the times, and no l o nger to be endured. What is this moral we are to draw from his strictures on this Exchequer bill fraud? It is neither more nor less than that, if a merchant's clerk should think fit to put his employer's name to the draft of a bill, as a name more current than his own, he mast be careful only to have the right material for the purpose. "The paper, print ing, stamp," and such like important particulars being strictly in rule, the bill may be safely discounted by any body that oen furnish the oath for it, as it must unques tionably ba paid at maturitx. The time ham gone by for any absurd boggling &bow fignaturua " The case of the innocent bolder is still *Eire, and, ill ivory equitable point of view, irresistible." All things connected *dab this business hare be come a matter Of intense public interest, and we trust that the inquiry in progress will be kept open until the whole of the infamy attaching to the stock gambling system is very thoroughly exposed, and ripe to be submitted to the Legislature for correction. It is affirmed that one of the parties who have negotiated largely in Exchequer bills only eight or ten years ago returned from Brazil so impoverished by unsuccessful mining speculations, and so destitute in consequence, as to have been obliged to take his passage before the mast. It is further stated that another of them is a clerk to a concern in which most, if not all, the delinquents are large shareholders, and which concern has absorbed some 400,000/. of British capital in the pumping up of water and breaking of stones by slave labour. It is added that the clerk referred to, although employed on a salary of 2001. per annum, has, during the year, built or purchased several houses at a fashionable watering-place. The Committee of the Stock Exchange sat again to-day, but their proceedings are kept private. The forgeries are said to be the work of a female. We are informed, upon authority in which we have every reliance, that important changes in the Stamp office are under the anxious consideration of the Treasury. ADVERTISER.—Connected, as Mr. Smith has been, with Rapallo, and as it is known that the latter had large speculations afloat, the favourable issue of which de pended at one time upon the success of the attempt of Louis Napoleon to revolutionize France, it is thought now rather remarkable that the same parties who were Bears of Stock to a large amount before the news of the Boulogne affair was made public, should have been ex tremely active in predicting a fall in prices immediately before the fires broke out in the dockyards at Sheerness and Devonport. Th e writer of this article was assured the day before the fire at Sheerness that something would be made public within twenty-four hours that must leal to a fall in Stocks. To say the least of it, these transac tions had a suspicious appearance. To-day there were various reports as to certain parties having met in the City to concoct the Exchequer bill fraud, and the relative one, it is said, has left this country with some 40,0001, of the proceeds. It would be unsafe to particularize. Inquiries have almost hourly been made to learn the fate of the Exchequer bills. The anxiety upon this sub ject may be conceived when it is stated that one firm has held not less than 80,0001., another 60,0001., another 45,0001., and many others smaller sums. That the in vestigation now proceeding at the Exchequer -office must be very protracted is certain, as bills of the aggregate amount of 22 millions sterling have to be compared with the counterfoils of this department. We are not enabled to confirm a statement made a day or two since, that the Chamberlain of London, Sir James Shaw, holds a large amount of these bills.

I should also say their charges against me were brought after the strike, in a letter addressed to the Earl of Lin coln, and sent by him to Messrs, Grissell and Peto, and who, so far from refusing to look into the matter, insti tuted a most searching inquiry, and which extended to their other agents here, and they were fully convinced that the bitter persecution of me by the Union arose from my bringing before them the limitation of the amount of labour by the Unionists, and their fining those who did more than the prescribed quantity.

SlR,—Finding in the Weekly Dispatch of Sunday last an article headed " The Masons and the Dispatch," wherein it is stated that the masons have come to the formidable resolution of discouraging the circulation of their paper, on account of its being an enemy to the working classes,—in answer to this we beg leave to state, that it was at the meeting of Trades' Delegates, held at the Craven's Head, Drury-lane, Oct. 27, when that resolution was passed, on the ground that the Dis patch is not the friend of the working man ; so that the Editor of that paper will perceive it is not the " wrath or froth of the masons," as he calls it, that passed that resolution. The Dispatch feels very indignant at being put in such bad company as the Times, and conceives that " men must be sadly dosed with ignorance or stupidity that can class the Dispatch with that paper ; inasmuch as it is violently opposed to the Times upon all subjects concern ing the working classes, except one." So is the Globe, Morning Chronicle, and others of the same stamp ; they are all opposed to the Times, but that does not consti tute them the friends of the working classes. His op position to the Times, we believe, is perfectly well under stood by the thinking part of the working men; and they also understand that that does not prove the Dispatch to be their friend. The Dispatch may rest assured, whenever it is found amongst bad company, and acting a dishonest part, it will be classed alonc , with the rest of that company ; an d an ope* and avowed ' enemy, is better than a pretended but deceitful friend. The Dispatch makes a mistake, when it asserts that we say it refused to insert the two communications sent to it by us—the fact of their haying been inserted, is sufficient to prove to the contrary; and the reason we sent nothing more for insertion, was in consequence of its attacks and misrepresentations which followed those it did insert. And we beg to call its attention to its remarks following our letter on Oc tober 10, in adverting to thatpart of Messrs. Grissell and Veto's, where they allege that, " the real grievance which we complain of is, that Allen paid a man five shillings, being the amount of a fine imposed upon him for working too fast, and that there is a. compact that masters should pay the same wages to a bad as a good workman, as also a compact to prevent any man from taking task work." The Dispatch follows this up by saying, " This is a grave matter, which the masons ought to answer." If the Dispatch had been as indus trious in fibs attention to our answers to those gross and scandalous falsehoods as it has been in its attention to those falsehoods, it would have known that we have an swered them. We have challenged them through the medium of some of the daily journals to come forward and prove those charges, but they have invariably shrunk back. In the same article the Dispatch asks " Why should a tailor who can earn 2h a week be restricted to 305., be cause a majority of his brethren can earn no more ?" Now the direct inference which the public would draw from these remarks, would be that we have prevented individuals from making the best of their abilities, which is as untrue as it is ridiculous. In their remarks on the 3d October, in speaking of the conduct of Allen, the Dis patch says, that " necessary severity is often mistaken for tyranny." We beg to submit a few acts of tyranny, nay of cruelty, to the consideration of all reasonable men, and ask if they can be considered necessary severity. Can it be considered necessary severity to tell a man, after having his leg broken, and upon hies return to work, that he (Allen) did not want any such el—el hobbling fellows as him there ? Can it be considered necessary severity to tell * man, who was absent a few days in consequence of sickness, upon his return that he (Allen) did not want any but sound men there. Can it be considered necessary severity to tell a man who had been to close the dying eyes of his wife, and see her respectably interred, upon his return to work, that he might go back and die with her, and be d—d? Can it be oonsidered necessary severity to prevent any man from paying the last tribute of respect to his de ceased parent, by seeing her respectably buried ? Good God, what is to become of British mechanics if such acts of atrocity as these are to be considered necessary severity? And will the Dispatch insist upon being the working man's friend, and yet tell us if we succeed in the removal of this man from his situation, which his character and disposition unfit him to fill, " that it will be the policy, the duty, of employers to treat th eir workmen severely ?" The Dispatch also states in an article of last week that it " should be deserting the cause of the poor and be traying that of the working classes most culpably, did it not denounce certain proceedings on the part of the masons, which are vile, unjust in prin ciple, and most powerfully injurious to an industri ous population of every degree." Why say " cer tain proceedings" why not name those proceed ings which would justify the denunciation of the Dispatch? Is it because we have refused to suffer our feelings to be outraged by such acts of inhumanity as those we have just named that wo are to be denounced ? If so we can treat all such denunciations with that con tempt they justly merit, and we believe every honest man will do the same. The Dispatch cordially acknow ledges the right of combination, and argues " if the ill treatment of an individual is systematic, let his brother workmen join him and make a strike." This is just what we have done ; the advice of the Dispatch upon that subject is very good, but rather late. But from ether statements the Dispatch has made it would have the public believe we have forced some other body of men in some other part of the country, and be longing to some other trade, to leave their,work, which will bo seen from its own words, where it states, " but to say that because one or more masters are tyrannical or unkind in any trade, that the workmen under those masters that are indulgent, kind, and generour, must strike, to the injury of their employer or benefactor, is a piece of folly and absurdity, ingratitude, and even villany, which shall never be defended by us." No, nor advocated nor defended by us. But it has not shown where this has been done ; it makes assertions, but gives no proof that we have interfered with other trades or with employers, " a hundred miles off."

M. Delcourt, the examining Judge, is appointed to investigate the charge against file persons arrested on account of the late conspiracy. The investigation is proceeding with all possible diligence. It is believed that among the persons arrested, there are only eight or ten at most against whom there are any serious charges. The son of Vandersmissen was set at liberty yesterday evening. Messrs. Delcourt and Bemelmans have directed several arrests. BRUSSELS, Nov. s.—The King transacted business successively with the Mini►ters of the Interior and of Foreign Affairs. The civic guard of the capital will be reviewed by his Majesty, on Tuesday, the 9th, the day on which the Ses sion of the Chambers will be opened. Some Journals have related a pretended answer of the King of Holland to the Burgomaster of a town in Lim burgh, who is reported to have said, " Without Belgium we are ruined." To which the King replied, as is al leged, " Yes, but this little inheritance is not lost for ever." To this the Independent says, "We know something of this fact, and we boldly affirm that neither the Bur— gomaster nor the King expressed themselves as repre sented. What really passed was as follows. The Bur gomaster of the village in question, after explaining to King William the deplorable condition to which the cession had reduced the right bank of the Meuse, said " The Belgians have cheated us." To which the King replied, smiling, " So, that is not pretty of the Belgians." This is what was said. We warrant the correctness of the fact. The cause of Messrs. Cauty, Vergelds, and others, ac cused of destroying public monuments, of defading statues, breaking lamps, &c., on the night of the 16th of October, will be tried on Saturday, the 6th. Four teen witnesses are summoned for the prosecution, in which the city is plaintiff. The three leaders arrested on the frontier, and conveyed to Brussels, one of whore was Madame de Bart, have been set at liberty. The Independent says, "No treaty of commerce has been concluded between Belgium and Austria. The Augsburg journals, so well informed, have this time been led into error."

Nov. 4.—(From the Handelsblad.)— " The circular addressed by the Minister of War to the governors of the provinces, the object of which is to call into actual force the militia men of the anterior levies,- caused yesterday some sensation in our capital. We therefore thought it our duty to procure a copy of this circular, which we have done, and lay an extract from it before our readers ; it will be seen that the uneasiness which it caused was unfounded, and we have only to add that this measure is merely to raise the force of the corps of infantry, as decided by the late organization, to its minimum, below which it has fallen in conse quence of the unlimited furloughs that have been granted. of late.

The following reflections on the conspiracy at Brus sels are made by the Courrier Beige :- 0. When Europe reads the names and titles of General Count Vandermeer, General Baron Vandersmissca, Major-General Lecharlier, Colonel Parent, him who took the Louvre, Military-Intendant Van Parys, the Commandant of the wounded of September, and of others who made themselves illustrious during our glorious days, Europe will say to herself—' This was a serious affair, it must have had deep root in the country, and. consequently great chances of success.' However, all this when viewed closely will be found to merit no other appellative than a Conspiration des paniers perces. They are all men who had nothing to lose, and every thing to gain, by a general overthrow. They may all be enrolled in that immense legion of fallen angels who are in constant revolt against Heaven. One might say that the Tribunal of Commerce and its. officers were the real instigators of the rebellion-- Never, in truth, bad any attempt at revolution less chances of success thaw this, and if, as was a tone time eontcmplated, these petty Catilines bad been suffered to make their appearance in the streets with their flags, one half of them the Orange and the other half the Radical colours, it would have been taken for a ridiculous masquera de, and treat ed as such. They w ere to act, it seems , in the night, and begin th e i r work with fire and sword ; for most of them were urea of courage and resolution, with nothing to lose but their own valveless heads, while they had millions of plunder before them. The most lamentable part of thee advancementssome affair is, that they had seduced by th e i r d oc t r i nes, severalweak men fo o r f th p e r i o r pei, bseyv promiseeeral m o months ago,rapi rapid chil dren. It is said that several manufacturers of Ghent were to discharge their men on the day for executing the conspiracy. One of the band of the corps of Gui des having been di sc h arge d f or m i sconduct, ho complai ned to General Vandetsmissen, who kept his papers. saying— , My friend, in a few days I shall have a.. good place for you.' The conspirators intended co set fire to the military magazine of forage, is order to divert the attention of the police. In the mean while the conspirators held their meeting outride the Namur Gate. They were to lay hands at one and the sane time on the Colonel of Gendarmerie, the Com mandant of Brussels, and the Minister of War, whereby they would paralyze the garrison, gaining over the non-commissioned officers, by proclaiming them all officers, in the name of the new Minis ter of War, Count Vandermeer, the Commander-in -Chief Vander missen, and Colonel Crehen, of the a rtillery, all of - ' whom had promised themselves these high posts und er f their imaginary Government. We ar e e w singo rr t y o :re r the civil police ; for it is said to be e that the disco very was vigilance of the Minister of War al on made of this conspira c y to over turn th e pre.. sent Government, and establ is h a provisional one, until the comspirators should agree among themselves a s to the character of that which was to . be per manent; for they were m en of so many different o pi n i ons. that they had n ot been able to come t o an. understanding on this fundamental p oint. This, how ever, in a ll probability, did not much disturb tire minds of thes e g entry ; for t heir most essential ob ject was to have t he p ublic he treasury in their hand s f or 24 hours, and imitating the intention of Barcelona, t o impose a forced loan of a few millions on our Moderados, who happen to be the most wealthy of these fishers in. troubled waters."

Mr. Poole, this month, not only continues his admirable story of Phineas. Quiddy, but delights with a separate social skit, entitled "The Advantages of Belonging to a Club," in which the growling spirit of a discontented clubite is most face tiously pourtrayed. The club is the Pangrowlean, and the paper consists of the memoranda of one of its mem bers, who has the pleasant nomenclature of Elector Boreall.' "—Morning Post.
