LE DRAY'S "TREATISE ON LOSS OF Amon TEETH." more g the various di sor d ers o f t h e M out h , t h ere i s none t destructive than Scurvy, which on first entering the Gums causes them to bleed on the most trifling occasions, and pro duce t the most offensive and frequently putrid breath. A soft substance invariably accumulates around the necks of waste the Teeth, pe ne t rates into the Gums, which gradually away, and the Teeth then become loose, and drop out whole from their sockets, and it is well known thss the loss of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. On this subject a distinguished Lecturer makes the following ? I: nervations :—" When the disgusting effects of this accumu lation are consideresi, it would appear impossible that any per suasion could be necessary to induce persons to obviate so great a nuisance even on their town account : or if they are too de based to procure their own comfort and cleanliness by employ ing a skilful Dentist, they surely have no right to shock the fseuses of others, who possess more delicacy and propriety of eeling tha n th emse l ves. Y et, so i t i s ; and the sight and the "l are alike cons t an tly ou t rage d by the filthiness of some to the who seem to o b tru d e t h e i r f aces th e c l oser in proportion `° the disgust whirls they occasion."—Bell's Lectures, p. 199. anil Could such persons only see the horrid state of their teeth gums, or for a moment catch the odour of their own breath, they would not hesitate to seek immediate relief. To professional men, shop-keepers, and tradesmen generally, who l 'ave much intercourse with the refined and fashionable world, a good state of the mouth must be of the greatest importance Besides, is not an offensive breath, which in nineteen cases out If twenty proceeds from the bad state of the teeth and gums, V( IY much calculated to prevent the blessing of matrimony ? And how often, from in a d ver t ence or neg l ec t, i s th e h a ppi ness *f he (marriage state most grievously interupted by the same cause The incontseniencies attending the Loss of Teeth are too well known to require comment. but to those who have not ex perienced the comfort of Artificial Teeth, Monsieur Le Dray as desirous of showing some of the difficulties more or less en• - Jure(' by every Individual without them. When the Teeth are lu sts it is impossibl e to make use of solid food ; and if the the Sr!otnach i s t h en loaded with pieces without being masticated, patient is exposed to the most distressing indigestions, the stomach loses its power of contraction, and becomes weak in proportion as it no longer digests ; besides, when the Teeth asire g u ise, a great vacuum is left in the mouth, which occasions vety muscle i n the face to be distorted, and the whole features reit,torripletely d rawn f rom their original position. To insist on the importance of the teeth, whether in regard to the functions of digestion and articulation, to which they so are so essential, or to p ersona l appearance, i n which they are much co ncerned, must appear a waste of words, were it not obvious that there are man) persons who never give themselves the trouble to think upon the subject ; who seem scarcely aware that they possess teeth at all, while their gross and cul pable negligence renders tha fact too apparent to their friends 4441 associates. Ala.stification is the first process of digestion, and unless it he duly performed, the subsequent processes can never go on properly. So essential is this su - • preparatory process, that the neglect of it thcient to occasion indigestion, a disordered stomach, ner- Veils debility, depression of spirits, the skin becomes rough and ting e d o f a l ead colour, the eyes lose their brilliancy, the lips ftheir vermilli on hue, and, in a word, it i s no uncommon t hi ng or the wh o l e body to receiv e suc h a s h ock as to cause re blaxation of th e whole system, which produces an irritable Qper, qu i te foreign to the natural disposition, whereby becom e an annoyance to our friends, and a burthen to ourselve s . B ut I need not dwell upon the num berless concomitant evils which may thus owe their ori g in to i mper f ect mastication. It is sufficient to fonow that Monsieur Le Dray's improvements will be und t o b e many years in adva nce o f any system now in Eu heEpe, and th a t art i ficial teeth a: ts brought to suc h p er f ect i on, at tstablishinent, No. 60, Newman -street, Oxford-street, as to: perform this function in a manner equal in every respect to the natural teeth, aed may be used with every comfort. Tkey are so arranged as to restore the face to its former youthful "Os correctin g all deformities of the mouth, and entirely doirg away with the old system of springs, clasps, and wires. As an essential point of beauty, the teeth must ever sten -oe-eminent. No regularity of features, no brilliancy of •m- Plesion, no sparkling eyes, or silken braids of jetty hair can 'resider that lady beautiful, who when she opens her lips though they be of eoral), discloses a set of teeth irregular or t..'scoloured. On the contrary, even homely features and a salt s w complexion are embellished and rendered agreeable by a Rood s et of teeth. A mouth large and ill-formed will pass Unmeisol, when it contains teeth beautifully white and even. On the otter hand the effects of decay, the accumulation of lertar, the blackened and denuded fangs, and the taint of the breath, which is a common concomitant of bad teeth, will invariably prove disgusting and loathsome. Regular . esth, white, and free from all extraneous matter, tee an ornament equally attractive in either sex. Those per sons who do not nossess this natural advantage, should en deavour, by extreme care and cleanliness, and a timely resort to artificial sid, to remedy th e i m p er f ec ti ons, an d supply the defici enc i es of nature, in order that their teeth, if not an agree able object, may be prevented, as far as possible, from loccorning a:repulsive one. _ Monsi e u r LE D RAY, Surgeon-Dentist, 60, Newman -street, ' 4 9 l ! , xford- street, respectfully acquaints the Nobility, Gentry, le rgYt and the inhabitants of London anti its vicinity, that lie continues to restore Decayed Teeth with his celebrated Mine 111armoratum, so univei sally recommended by the Faculty % 4)1 "'gland, Fra nce , an d throughout the Continent, which Vista %nee he is side inventor and possessor of.

From their minute construe- tion, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed with the greatest facility. By their use the lowest whisper breathed at a public assembly vibrates on the organs of hear ing in such a pleasant manner, as to afford the greatest relief to those labouring under the distressing ailment of deafness. Mr. E. SOLOMONS' PATENT SPECTACLES possess the advantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as to render vision most perfectly distinct by day, or lamps or candles at night, conveying also a sense of coolness and pleasure to the organ, with the additional recommendation of being free from the per nicious attributes of common glasses.

HOLLAND'S BALSAM OF SPRUCE, the newly-discovered remedy for COUGHS, COLDS, INFLUENZA, INCIPIENT ASTHMA, and CON SUMPTION. Medical Science is daily producing new wonders, and among the discoveries which take place none are more deserving of public approbation than a remedy for those complaints which, in this variable climate, are so productive of fatal consequences to the comfort and lives of the public as Coughs and Colds. This Extraordinary Remedy relieves the most distressing symptoms in a few hours, and a little perseverance in its use will, in every case, effect a permanent cure. Coughs and Colds, accompanied by a difficulty of breathing, soreness and rawness of the chest, impeded expectoration, sore throat, and feverish symptoms, will be quickly subdued, while its use will assuredly prevent consumption from this prolific cause. Holland's Balsam of Spruce gives immediate ea , e in all Asthmatic cases, and particularly in Hoarseness, Wheezings, and Obstructions of the Chest; while those who have laboured for'eats under the misery of a coufirmed Asthma, have been enabled by its use to enjoy the blessings of life, and to pursue their avocations with a degree of ease and comfort they had been strangers to for years. Prepared by Charles Holland, and sold by his agent, T. Prout, 229, Strand, London ; and by at least one person in every town in the kingdom. Price Is. lid. a Bottle.

In comparing it with the we e kly d eat h s i n 1840, it must lac borne in mind that the metropolis in. creases nearly two per cent. annually ; and that, if tht population had been the same in 1838 as in 1840, the death would have been 1-27th part more numerous. General Register-office, Dec. 31, 1840. DISTRESSING SUICIDE.—On Saturday an in quest was held at St. Bartholomew's Hospital upon the body of a married female named Whcnman. The husbanr of tke deceased having been taken in execution for twelve shillings and costs, and confined in Whitecross-street Pri. son, she and her children were left starving at their mise rable lodging in Clerkenwell-close. The poor creature. was on Christmas night so overcome by her misery that she cut her threat with her husband's razor. The children who were in bed with her, being awoke by the gurgling in their mother's throat, called for assistance, and she was re moved to the Hospital, where she died on Friday morning. The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." Mr. l'EsteEtroNtaPPea;d for the plaintiff and said it was an appeal from a decision of the Supreme Court of Newfoundland uader these circumstances. On the 6th of August, IS3B, the plaintiff met with a Mr. Kent, who was a Member of the House of Assembly, in the streets of St. John, they had some disagreement, and a 1.., plaintiff was induced to apply some very harsh and se vere language to Mr. Kent. The plaintiff denied that the language applied at all to the House of Assembly or its proceedings, but Mr. Kent went on the same day and made a complaint to that body that Mr. Kielley had been guilty of contempt of the House. On the motion of Mr. Kent the House resolved itself into a Committee of Privileges, and without summoning or hearing any defence from him, they proceeded to examine witnesses, and then resolved that he had been guilty of a breach of their privileges, and he was ordered to be taken into custody. On the 7th the appellant was brought up to the Bar of the House, and he was ordered to make an apology dictated by the House, or to remain in custody till he did so. He declined to make the required apo logy, and he was again guilty of using some hasty words to Mr. Kent before the Assembly. He was remanded into custody. He applied for, and having obtained a writ of Habeas Corpus, he was discharged on the 13th. In the following tetra he commenced his action for false imprisonment, asa4ult-i- leant flattery. - The de ftfri dan t pleaded the resolution of tIA-11ouse of Assembly as a justification, and after bearing the facts argued upon demurrer, the Court, by a majority of 3 to 1, held the justification to be good, and in that shape the case now came before their Lordships. He had to contend that the appeal ought to be allowed-Ist, Because the House of Assembly did not possess by law the power of .r -resting and imprisoning, as for breach of privilege. 2d, That supposing the power to exist, it can, at any rate, only be exercised as against its own members, and not as against strangers, for alleged contempt committed out of doors. 3d, That no breach of privilege was in fact committed, or alleged to have been committed by the appellant before the first warrant was issued ; on the contrary, it is presumeable, from the tenor of the warrant itself, set forth in the pleas, that the appellant's conduct had no relation to the House, and could Lot amount to a breach of privilege ; and the Court below was not by law precluded from examining into the al leged contempt, to ascertain whether it were or were not a breach of privilege. 4th, That supposing the power of commitment to exist, the manner of exercis- ing it in the present instance was illegal, the Assembly having resolved itself into Committee upon the com plaint of the aggrieved party, and having examined witnesses against the appellant in his absence, and finally arrested and imprisoned him as a criminal, without first summoning him to appear, or call ing upon him for his defence, which, as the appellant submits, is contrary to every principle of justice, and cannot be vindicated on any pretence of privilege. sth. That the proceeding was also illegal, because the warrant did not purport to be found upon the offence of which complaint was made, and of which the appellant was declared guilty, but described the supposed offence in a diffaent manner. 6th. Because the appellant was ordered to be imprisoned tincif — he should make such an apology as the House should dic tate ; an order clearly beyond the power of the Assembly to make, even supposing it to possess the right of com mitment ; and, lastly, because, in point of pleading, several of the pleas are bad, as they purport to justify without confessing the battery. The Learned Gentle man said there was a very great difference between the colony of Newfoundland and the other provinces in America. The former was a settled colony—the others were conquered. It bad always been held as good law, that all settlers took the common law of England, and the very first principle of it was security to the subject against all power but the law. The Learned Counsel contended that any power or authority possessed by the House of Assembly of Newfoundland must have existed from its constitu tion in 1832, and that the Proclamation by which it was constituted recognised no such power. The House of Assembly was incorporated by the Crown for the pur poses of local legislation, precisely in the same manlier as corporations were conferred upon the city of Lon don, Liverpool, Manchester, and other large toe ns. The House of Assembly' giounded its authority upon its analogy to the House of Commons of that country, but ne one would assert that the House of Commons, as such, had the power of commitment for contempt ; nor could it be supposed that the Crown would dele gate so monstrous a power to a merely legislative body. The power of commitment possessed by the House of Commons was enjoyed by it in virtue of its being a part of Parliament, and in accordance with the law and custom of Parliament. The House of Assembly could not arrogate to itself the title of a high Court of Par liament for any such purpose. He was at a loss to know, therefore, upon what grouuds the analogy rested. The House of Commons was an ancient, immemorial Court ; while the House of Assembly was a body con stituted by the Crown for particular specific purposes. It never was contemplated, and indeed would be at tended with the most dangerous consequences, to en trust so large a {power to a remote colonial legislative Assembly. At four o'clock the Committee rose, and the further hearing of the case was adjourned till this day. THE BISHOP OF EXETER AND THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Relying on your courtesy, I have ventured to re mark, through the medium of your enlightened columns, on the exultation with which certain Journals are retailing the anecdote of the Duke of Wellington having said, at an education meeting, that unless the principles of religion (Query—which religion?) were the basis of a popular education, that the population would only turn out a set of clever devils. The Bishop of Exeter is reported to be the narrator of the sentiment at a late meeting in the west of England. After much converse with the intelligent part of the community in all parts of this kingdom and Scotland, I can venture to apprise the Duke of Wellington and the Bishop of Exeter that, however much..they may be re strained, from motives of respect or prudence, from giving an open opinion on the subject, the general sentiment among that class I have just mentioned, and whose opinion is worth having, is that man, even in this life, is destined for higher purposes than to be the dupe of priests of any persuasion, and that this opinion is rapidly gaining grouild. I am, your Subscriber, A TRAVELLER OF THIRTY YEARS' STANDING. Newark-upon Trent, Jan, 2, 1841. BURNLE Y. [FROM A CORRESPUNDSNT.] On the last day of the old year, the members of the Commercial News Room, at the Cross Keys-inn, Burn ley, held their second annual meeting, and after the business of the room had been concluded, the members sat down to an excellent dinner provided by the deservedly esteemed host of the house, Mr. George Rawcliffe. John Folds, E,q. of Danes House, presided, and Mr. John M'Veogii, of Habingham Eaves, occupied the Vice-Chair. After a number of loyal and patriotic toasts were given from the Chair, the worthy President proposed the health of John Sutcliffe Whithaw, Esq., of Oak Mount, who had gra. tuitously given his services as their Secretary. The toast was responded to with great enthusiasm. Other toasts and sentiments were given, and the party did not separate until some time after the merry church bells announced that another year had been added to the thousands which had gone before.

CONYNGHAM. , Mickleham Hall, Dec, 26, 10, " Sire,—A few days since the Chamber of Deputies brought to the Constitutional King the expression of it: political concurrence; it now addresses to the Head of the Great Family its unanimous testimonial of affection and respect. Our good wishes cannot separate from your Majesty that which constitutes the ornament and the future prospects of your throne ;—our Queen, whose virtues gain all hearts by the persuasive authority of be neficence and good example, and the young supports of 3 our crown, who cause your Majesty to taste the most noble enjoyments that Providence can impart to the founder of a new dynasty. Like yourself, Sire, we are happy to see the heir to the throne, and his brothers, rivalling each other in zeal for the service of the State ; some of them share the perils of our soldiers ; another devotes his life to our brave navy, so brilliant in recol lections, so rich in hopes. Our population in their emo tion will henceforth join his name to the memory of a national mission, accompanied with a piety and nobleness of heart worthy of the glorious deposit confided to his keeping, and of the King who received it in the miff e of France. While, Sire, your Royal Family thus repeats the examples set by your Majesty, the Chamber of Deputies ' labours at the improvement of our laws, at the maral and material amelioration of society. It associates itself with your generous initiative for the relief of the disasters that have called forth in every quarter a sympathy so consoling for those who suffer, and so honourable for the whole country, jet, the midst, however, o f thi s t as k o f none' oar great interests escape its attention, and it calm and firm attitude corresponds to the sentiments of France. France, Sire, after so many proofs of courage and wisdom, knows that her patriotism and the power of her institutions are sufficient for any situation. She trusts in the accordance of the great powers that she has given to herself : the union of the Crown and the Chambers is our first strength ; it insures against all trials the future state of our beautiful country." His Alajcsty's reply was as follows : I am profoundly touched by the sentiments which you express to me in the name of the Chamber of De puties for the Queen, for my sons, for my family, and for myself. To deserve your suffrages by the services which we have the happiness of rendering to France, is the s wettest recompence which we can obtain for them. I have felt, as you have so well expressed it, that France owed it to herself to get back the mortal remains of the Emperor Napoleon. I have been happy in restoring to her the remains of him who added so much glory to her annals, and in confiding this deposit to the worthy war riors who had so often fought under his command. Never was the concurrence of all the powers of the State more necessary. Never was it more important to show the perfect union that reigns among us for the real good of France ; this good does not consist in conquests or in glory too dearly purchased at the price of our blood and our treasure; war should not be undertaken except when the public interest renders it a rigorous duty. At pre sent, thanks to your support, we ha ve th e h ope t h at t h e long career of peace which we have gone through co honourably wall not be interrupted ; but on the contrary, will be continued, without the country having any thing to regret either for its honour or its dignity. It will always have reason to be proud of having preserved man kind from the dangers and evils which would have been the necessary consequences of general war.—( At this part of the speech the Deputies gave strong marks of ap probation. ) Receive the expression of my gratitude for the aid which I have always had from you in the noble task imposed upon me. I know that, devoted like myself to the honour, prosperity, and interests of France, you would have hesitated at no sacrifices, if they had bear ne cessary ; but I am happy that in the course which ice have adopted, we have been able to avoid them, and to preset ve repose and security for France. We have given to history sufficient monuments of our glory to have a right to add to our trophies that which is not less glorious, that of being the guarantees of the peace of the world, and the repose of mankind."--( Loud cries of " Vive le Roi !" followed the conclusion of the King's speech. ADDRESS OF COUNT D'APPON Y IN THE NAME OF TILE CORPS DIPLOMATIQUE. " Sire,—Assembled around your Royal person by the solemnity of the day, the corps diplomatique has the honour of offering to your Majesty its respectful homage and good wishes. During the year which has just passed, Providence has bestowed upon us new benefits : the maintenance of the political repose of Europe, and the protection which it continues to throw over the life of your Majesty, are precious favours for which we offer warm thanks. We arc happy in feeling that the wisdom of the Cabinets will know how to maintain the state of order and peace, and that, protected by their union, Europe will continue to advance in the path of progr:lss opened to its prosperity. Events dear to to paternal heart of your Majesty call for all our felicitations. Deign, Sire, to accept them with favour, and also the very sin cere wishes that we entertain for the happiness of France, of yourself, and of your august family." The King replied : " It is with great fulness of heart that I join with you in returning thanks to Providence for the benefits that it bestowed upon us in the course of the year which has just expired, and for the protection which it has again thrown over my life. lam much touched by what you have said on this subject. You know the value which I have never ceased to attach to the duration of the political repose enjoyed by Europe, and to the ►maintenance of the general peace. Convinced as I am that this state of things is alike the interest of France, and of all other States, nothing shall relax my efforts to co-operate with all the Sovereigns for the preservation of this great blessing to our nation, and I hope with you that in the year which has just opened to us, the wisdom of the Cabinets will effect its consolidation. I feel very sensibly the felicitations of the Corps Diplomatique, and the good wishes which you offer in its name for France, my family and myself." ADDRESS OF BARON PASQUIER IN THE NAME OF TIIE CHAMBEk OF PEERS. " Sire—This period, which annually brings to the foot of your Majesty's throne the Peers of France, was never more impatiently waited for by them never have they felt more strongly the desire of presenting to you their sentiments and good wishes—happy, when the clouds which have caused so much emotion have so quickly dissipated, at having only to return thanks to Divine Providence which protects a life so necessary to France, and which has just given a new pledge for the duration of your dynasty. May you, Sire, long continue to enjoy that public happiness which is at once your recompense and your work. May all French hearts comprehend the wisdom and exalted ideas of a government already become sufficiently secure in its own strength not to fear any parallel sufficiently national to find its source where others would have found nothing but danger. Honour to the King who, knowing that nations do not exist only by material well being and prosperity, but likewise by great examples and noble re collections, conceived the high thought of restoring to the soil of France the glorious ashes of Napoleon, and of completing, by the solemn inauguration of a national tomb, the public homage which had already been rendered to him, and to his age, in the sanctuary raised by the ge nius of Peace to all the glories of France. But while ad miring the past, the reflection of which is strong enough to dazzle the firmest eye, let us not be unjust towards the pre• sent—let us grant to each epoch its own character and its own grandeur. Does it not, in fact, appear that, in the designs of Providence, there is in a certain degree a certain brilliancy of martial power incompatible with durability, and that the glory of founding a dynasty, under whose shadow the fruits of order and peace are developed, is reserved for other hands than those whose victorious strength has been felt by the world ? To you, Sire, dues this glory belong. The Imperial Government existed by enthusiasm and intoxica tion, yours may pride itself on having sustained the diffi cult proof of the examination of a people who have re covered by a state of calmness the soundness of their judg ment, and who, in recently moving along that triumphal road, decorated with the names of a hundred victories, have more than once acknowledged that there was still one thing above warlike renown—the union of peace, liberty, and honour, under durable institutions, and under the sceptre of a good King. Enjoy, Sire, this testimony ren dered to your wisdom by the great voice of real public opi. nion, of which that of history will only be the echo. The country confides in you. It knows that its honour is as safe in your hands as its liberties, and that did it require any guarantee beyond yourself, it would find them in the noble family which surrounds you, and which so well knows how to identify itself with the generous sentiments of the country, in those homages of public sympathy which have accompanied from Cherburg to the Invalides the young and faithful depositary of the precious remains restored to France." The King's answer was—. " I have - listened to you with lively and profound emo tion. It is always delightful to me to receive the expres sion of the sentiments of the Chamber of Peers. lam happy to see that the efforts which I have made to secure peace, and the happiness and the liberty of France, have been so well appreciated. This is the only ambition my heart has ever known, and to hear it proclaimed by yc,u is a motive and an encouragement for me to hope that, in fol. lowing up this career, we shall prevent the detractors of France from representing it as a danger and a cause of perturbation ; whereas, on the contrary, the wisdom of the Government and the tranquillity which she enjoys ought to become a guarantee for the peace and repose of the world. lam delighted that it was reEerved for me to restore to France the remains of the Emperor Napoleon, and that it was one of my sons who received and who brought them home to the sanctuary and under the safeguard of his old companions in arms. I renew to the Chambers of Peers the assurance of the affection which I bear to it, and of my gratitude for the aid which it has constantly Obi ded me. lam very grateful for the sentiments which you ex press for my family and myself." THE ARCHBISHOP DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS TO HIS MAJESTY " Sire,—During the year which has just elapsed, God has softened the anxieties of your throne by twice making you partake of those family enjoyments which are most sweet to the heart of a father. He has given you a new and shining proof of his protection, and to us new motives for detesting those horrible attempts which are excited by abominable doctrines. The victims of the late inunda tions, which, on the very theatre of the disaster, have been the objects of so much devotedness, have everywhere found generous imitators of the royal beneficence. In afflicting us with this terrible scourge God has consoled us with the spectacle of great acts of charity, At the coin mencement of this new year, we intreat you, Sire, to ac cept with goodness our earnest wishes for the happiness of yourself and your august family. May th e L or d d e i gn to continue to bestow upon your Majesty the paternal care of his providence, remove for ever from our country the cala mities by which it has been desolated, appease all its dis sensions, and make it more powerful and more prosperous, by rendering its children united ! Such are the wishes of every true Frenchman, such are the graces which th e clergy and Archbi s h o p o f Paris will never cease to implore from the Supreme Dispenser of all good ! To this his Majesty replied— " I receive with great satisfaction these expressions of the good wishes of yourself and the clergy of Paris. It is always delightful to me to see you assembled around me. You know that I have long desired, and I now seize with eagerness this, as all other occasions of testifying how much I desire to maintain the clergy in that high consideration, the preservation of which I estimate at the greatest price. The more the task of Government is diffi cult to me, the more I need the moral support and con currence of those wbo wish to maintain order and the reign of the laws. It is, above all things, this moral sup port and concurrence that will prevent a renewal of those odious attempts upon which you have just expressed your self in a manner which has deeply affected me. It is this moral support, with the concurrence of all good men, which will give to my Government the strength necessary for the fulfilment of the duties I am called upon to P erfo rm , and I place i n th e fi rs t ran k of those duties that of causing religion to be cherished by combating immorality, and thus showing to the world that whatever the detractors of France may say, respect for religion, morality, and virtue is still among us the feeling of an immense majority." We are assurer' that a great number of Deputies com _... us not having-ytt receiveti any document on the pro ject of law relative to the fortification of Paris. Persons who arc well-informed state, however, that the War de partment might have distributed several days ago litho graphic plans of all the details of the systems of defence, which will be shortly discussed in the Chamber. The Report of M. Thiers will be made in the beginning of next week. We copied from the Presse the statement that M. Bil. ling was appointed the King's Commissioner to act as arbitrator in case of disagreement between the English and Neapolitan Commissioners on the sulphur question. The Journel des Debuts contradicts that statement, and says—We have reason to believe that the choice of the Government has fallen on M. Lurd, Chief Secretary of Legation at Constantinople. —Le Constitutionnel. We did not receive till to-day the Echo de 1' Orient, published at Smyrna on the 12th of December, which brings news from 'Constantinople of the Bth. .This journal says that Mehemet Ali as forfeited all claims to the clemency of his Sovereign, and that, if out of c)mmiscra tion for his grey hairs he should be spared the disgrace of complete ruin, it would be pure generosity, and it would be much if the Pachalic of Egypt were left him for his life, to be disposed of after his death ; and without allow ing him to keep up any force by sea or land, unless on a very limited scale. The Echo de!

" Venezuelans,—The Republic of New Grenada, our friend and neighbour, is now suffering from the conse quences of lamentable dissensions. Her internal peace has been disturbed.

We are informed by an eye-witness of, and active agent in, the proceedings of this borough during the past week, that Mr. J. B. Smith has already attained a very promising position. The change of candidates (Smith for Lyttelton) is decidedly favourable to the chances of defeating Mr. Gladstone, inasmuch as that if Mr. Liyttelton had gone to the poll a considerable number of t h e A nt i - C orn- l aw e l ectors would have been butindiffer ent or lukewarm in his behalf, if not altogether opposed to him. There are strong complaints of the fact that an inexp er i ence d young man, without a definite opinion upon so all-import ant a question to a manufac turing community like Walsall, as the Corn-laws, should have been sent to fight the battle (the electors did not invite Mr. Lyttleton.) It is understood that Dr. Buwriug would, in the first instance, have willingly fought the battle. Why, then, was not the Doctor, or such a man, originally offered to the electors, instead of this young cornet We are enabled to correct several of our Contemporaries with regard to the assertion that the interference of the Anti- Corn-law League alone dismissed Mr.Lyttelton from the field. Before the arrival of the League's Delegates in in 'Walsall, several electors had seceded from Mr. Lyttel ton upon the discovery (elicited by their own questions) that he would not pledge himself to vote for the repeal of the Corn-laws. We earnestly hope Mr. Smith will pro ceed. At all events we trust the Liberal electors of Walsall are fully alive to the fortunate honour which, if they triumph, will be theirs, in returning the talented President of the National Anti-Corn-law League, and of the first Chamber of Commerce in the world. SOUTH AMERICA. MONTE VIDEO, SEPT. 29, IB4o.—The packet Fawn ar rived yesterday morning from Buenos Ayres, and really the accounts that she brings are appalling. Rosas is carry. ing everything before him, shooting and slashing right and left. Lavelle is no one knows where ; but the way in which he has compromised his party in the province is most shameful. The best manner in which I can picture to you the state he has left the province in is the following—it ap peared in the Gaceta Mercantil of the 23d of September, the day previous to the sailing of the packet : " Article I. By authorisation of his extraordinary powers, he declares especially responsible the goods, move ables, sad chattels, rights, and suits of every class or de scription, either in the town or country, belonging to the traitorous savage Unitarians, for the benefits, and to make good the losses caused in the fortunes and propel tics of the true " federals," by the hordes of the disnatu ralised traitor, Juan Lay..lle, for the extraordinary wants of the public Treasury, to meet the barbarous invasion of this execrable assassin, and for the premiums which the Government have accorded in favour of the soldiers of the line, militia, and other brave defenders of the liberty and dignity of our Confederation, and of America. " 2. Threatens that any person who evades the above edict by now changing or transferring his goods will be punished as he thinks proper (of course with death). " 3. Threatens any notary public who certifies any pub lic document of this tenour with the same punishment. " 4. Includes the brokers and stock-jobbers also in the same. " 5. Includes the justices of peace in the country dia_ tricts also, and holds them personally responsible for any transfer of the above. " 6. Orders the publishing of the decree. FELIPE ARANA, " AUGUSTIN GARRIGOS. " September 16, 1840." You can see by the above decree that my long prognos tications to you are now about to be realized in the destruc tion of the present aristocracy ; they will be completely despoiled of their property. I can give you no better de scription of how he proceeds than what is contained in the following copy of a letter which I received yesterday from a friend of mine. " BUENOS AIRES, SEPT. 21.—1 merely write to say that I am in the land of the living, and only so; it is im possible to describe the horrible scenes which we are daily witnessing. The police carts are constantly going from the barracks and prisons with the slaughtered. Your old friend, Don Lucas Gonzales, was shot on Tuesday last, a few hours after his apprehension, in consequence of the capatas of his estancia joining Lavelle. A son of General Viamonte, the former Governor, a lad about 18 years of age, has also been shot, and several others arrested. All the country seats about town belonginc , to Unitarians have been literally torn to pieces by the M'ayorce headed sol diery ; the doors,. furniture, crockery, and kitchen uten sils, are selling at any price they can get for them ; the soldiers tell us plainly that all the property of the Unita rians is theirs. The awful sight of beating women and painting and tarring the heads of respectable females is horrible ; this was done by largo parties of officers sta tioned inside the doors of all the churches yesterday. " The above is quite true. Roses has now completely brutalized the people ; he has them like a flock of sheep, and now that he has, I may say, got clear of Lavelle, will cajole the new Admiral Makau into a dishonew-able peace for France, as advised in my last. " The new Admiral Mackau arrived on the 23d; he caused a good deal of stir here; he keeps his mind to himself, but from all appearances is going to fall into the errors of his predecessors, as he has taken lodgings on shore here, instead of going up at once; Roses will conse quently suspect that he is intriguing here with the others, and will be prejudiced against him. A large Swedish ship arrived a few days ago with coal for the steamers, which are hourly expected—they are landing them here. What lots of money this blockade is throwing into Monte Video-3,000 or 4,000 men, even suppose they only spend their pay. " Roses has no doubt proved himself to be one of the most extraordinary characters that ever existed his name will live for centuries. How he manages to sustain him self is almost incredible. Surrounded by enemies by land and water, without money or resources, half the population of the country he governs against him, without a friend to whom he could intrust the execution of an order, and yet he is obeyed as if by magic. A man without a single virtue, he will talk to you like a courtier, at the same time he will be planning your destruction. " This blockade has given Monte Video a great im petus ;it has advanced it 50 years. There are thousands of these French artisans—blacksmiths, carpenters, &c. who will remain. " I have made inquiry about the French force in the river, and I find it to amount to 53 vessels in commission ; this of course includos frigates and schooners all told; the force they might probably be able to spare on an emer gency would be 2,000 men. Four steamers are certainly hourly expected, but even then the force is far from being sufficient." NEW GRANADA. We have received the Venezuela Gazette and other Caraccas Papers to the 18th of November, which contain some articles relative to the state of the neighbouring re public of New Granada. The extent of the insurrection is not explained, but it appears that so late as the h at of November it still was not suppressed. A letter had been rec e i ve d a t P uer to Cabello, said to be from the Governor of Curacoa, the contents of which are thus stated : " New Granada is again in complete disorder. A v as ,. sel has arrived from Rio Ilacha, bringing intelligence that Santa Martha, Savanilla, Barranquilla, and other towns, have constituted themselves Federal States, under the title of Nlanzanares. " On the 18th of October a Commissioner was sent by the insurg e nts to Rio B ac he to persuade th e Govern or of that city to declare agains t the Gov ernment of Bogota' which, however, did not then suceeed." The Liberal of the 17th of November, the latest date we have received, says— W e have received a letter from Puerto Cabello, which states that the P ronunciomen to of eth agena as a federal state, by which General Marino is invested with the com mand, has been printed at Curacoa. Ii appears to us that this news requires confirmation." The Venezuela Gazette states, that Colonel Malagarejo remained at the head of an imposing force in Arauca, and the Padre Quintero already mentioned, who is curate of Arauca, had been taken prisoner; his companion, the one-eyed gentleman, also mentioned before, had fled to A pure, wishi ng to take refuge in the territory of Venezuela. Bat, whatever the extent of the insurrection may be, it IRELAND. DUDLIN, SATURDAY AFTERNOON. About four o'clock this morning a fire broke out on the printing premises of Mr. Folds. A considerable portion of property, consisting of printing materials, paper, books, Bee., were saved. The fire, it is supposed, commenced on the first floor, and from the inflammable nature of every thing lying about, soon raged with such destructive fury that the types were speedily melted, and came pouring through the building, to the imminent danger of those who were trying to save the property. The amount of pro perty destroyed is estimated at upwards of 5,0001. The Dublin Evening Post this evening devotes a large portion of its apace to the registry proceedings now taking place in the various parts of the country. The contests continue to be fought with all the energy of a disputed election ; and the Tory landlords arc everywhere banding themselves in a league against the franchise. Lord Listowel has sent the subjoined letter to the Cork Regis tration Society. The Post says that it is an example to the Whig gentry, of the practical man in which they ought to cc-operate with the people ir nit the common enemy :--. " Convamore, Dec. 26, 1840. " Sir—l beg leave to enclose a check for 201. as my subscription to the Reform Registry Association of this county. The slightest apprehension that this county might be the scene of such a disaster as has lately oc curred iu Carlow, ought to rouse every Liberal man within its limits, and I trust that the resolutions which you have circulated will be zealously responded to. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " R. V. Roche, Esq. " LisTo‘r E L." The proiect of establishing railroads in Ireland, on the principles set forth in the ably Report of the Commissioners appointed by Government, is once more to be urged upon the consideration of the executive and the Legislature, during the approaching Session. A requisition for a meet ing of the citizens of Dublin upon the subject, addressed to the Lord Mayor, has already received the signatures of a considerable number of the landed proprietors of all parties, including the Duke of Leinster, the Earl of Charlemont, and the Earl of Glengall. This meeting will take place about the 20th instant ; and arrangements arc in progress for convening several town and county meetings, for the promotion of this great nitional object. In connection with the establishment of a grand trunk railway, in accord ance with the Report of the Commissioners, it is in con templation to urge the adoption of the best and most rapid line of railway communication, on the English side, in order to shorten as much as possible the journey between London and Dublin. AGGREGATE MEETING OF REFORMERS. The friends of peace and good government in Ireland— the Reformers of every shade, are cordially uniting to ren der the meeting on the 15th a demonstration suitable to the crisis—a demonstration which must prove to Sir Ro bert Peel—if it fail to convince Lord Stanley—that the Irish people, headed and supported by the Liberal Nobi lity and Gentry, arc determined to resist, by every means which the Constitution permits, the attempt to transfer the franchise from the constituency formed under the Irish Reform Act to the Orange oligarchy. That meeting is convened not alone to resist inroads upon our stinted pri vileges, but to demand a perfect equllity of rights with England and Scotland. The requisition, we are hapyy to announce, already numbers upwards of twenty Peers, and three hundred Deputy- Lkutenants and Magistrates of Counties. Amongst the names rcctived since our last, arc the Earl t,f Arran ; Lords Cremorne, Lismore, Strafford, Acheson, Firench ; Count de Salis, the Lord Bishop of Tuatn ; the Right Rev. Dr. Higgins, Catholic Bishop of Ardagh ; Right Rev. Dr. Healy, Catholic Bishop of Leighlin and Ferns; Sir James Crofton, Bart. ; Sir John Burke, Bart. ; Sir David Roche, Bart. ; Mr. Thomas Focteseue, M. P. for Louth; Mr. H. M. Tuite, of Souna, Mr. D.
