';` o 04 144,i, Olt CONSPIRACY AT BRUSSELS. The following reflections on the conspiracy at Brus sels are made by the Courrier Belge " When Europe reads the names and titles of General Count Vandermeer, General Baron Vandersmissen, Major-General Lecharlier, Colonel Parent, him who took the Louvre, Militai-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 herstlf--' This was a serious affair, it must have had deep root in the country, and, consequently gre:.t chances of suectss.' However, all this when viewed closely will be found to merit no other appellative than a Conspiralion 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 oilicers were the real instigators of the rebellion. Never, in truth, had any attempt at revolution less chances of success than this, and if, as was a tone time eontemplated, these petty Catilines had been suffered to make their appearance in the streets with their fi igs, one halt of them the Orange and the other halt the Radical colours, it would have been taken for a ridiculous masquerade, and treated as such. They ' were to act, it seems, in the night, and begin their work with fire and sword ; for most of them were men of courage and resolution, with nothing to lose but their own valueless heads, while they had millions of plunder before them. The most lamentable part of the affair is, that they had seduced by their doctrines, several months ago, some weak men of property, by promises of rapid advancements for their 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 Guides having been discharged for misconduct, he complained to General Vanclersmissen, who kept his papers, saying—' My friend, in a few days I shall hate a good place for you.' The conspirators intended to set fire to the military magazine of forage, in order to divert the attention of the police. In the mean• while the conspirators held their meeting outside the Namur Gate. They were to lay hands at one and the same 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 Minister of War, Count Vandermeer , the Comma nder - in - Chief Vander . missen, and Colonel Crehen, of the artillery, all of whom had promised themselves these high posts under their imaginary Government. We are sorry for the civil police ; for it is said to be owing to the vigilance of the Minister of War alone that the disco very was made of this conspiracy to overturn the pre sent Government, and establish a provisional one, until the comspirators should agree among themselves as to the character of that which was to be permanent ; for they were men of so many different opinions, that they had not been able to came to an understanding on this fundamental point. T nis, how ever, in all probability, did not much disturb the minds of these gentry ; for their most essential ob ject was to have the public treasury in their hands for 24 hours, and imitating the intention of B arcelona, to , " impose a forced loan of a few millions on our Moderados, who happen to be the most wealthy of these fishers in troubled waters." HOP INTELLIGENCE,—WORCESTER, Nov. s.—The supplies of new hops on offer from the planters at market on Saturday last, were vouch less than we have observed them fur some weeks past, which shows that the quantity left on hand is limited. Fine classes of new, and, indeed, all fine growths, are in request; and meet with a ready sale; but low sorts go off heavy. The quantity weighed on Saturday was—new, 584; 4,nd old, 17 pockets; and in the week, new, 354; and old, 172. Present prices per cwt. :—secondary low new sorts from 105 s. to 1265.; fine, 130 s. to 1475.; 1839'5, from 84s. to 1055.; 1837'5, from 60s. to 84s. Proud men never have friends, neither in pros perity, because they know nobody; nor in adversity, for nobody knows them.

The gentlemen cadets, having obtained permission, held a masquerade last evening, and the proceedings were conducted with great spirit and the highest satis faction to all parties. The Racquet Court was covered in for the occasion, a gallery erected for the accommo dation of their friends and the families of the officers and respectable gentry in the neighbourhood, and the whole space very tastefully decorated with transparen cies, a profusion of lamps and evergreens, and had a very fine effect. Shortly after eight. o'clock Major- General Sir George Whitmore, K.C.H., Lieutenant- Governor of the Institution, arrived, and was received by the band of Royal Artillery playing " God save the Queen," and the gentlemen cadets all standing unco vered. Dancing then commenced, and the evening was spent in the greatest harmony. The masks were excel lent, and the characters, well sustained, particularly three young gentlemen, who sung the Canadian boat song. There appeared to be every variety of costume usual on such occasions, and got up with great taste, considering the idea of the masquerade had been so short a time in contemplation. At half-past eleven the band again played " God save the Queen,' and the company separated after a d eli g htful evenin g's entertainments.

SIR-I am commanded by my tords Commissioners of the Admiralty, to transmit to you herewith, copies of a notice of the erection of a lighthouse on the Island of Hesselo, in the Cattegat, received from her Majesty's Consul at Elsinore. I am, Sir, your obedient servant. (Signed) SIDNEY HERBERT. _ _ To Wm. Dobson, Esq., Sec. Lloyd's. Hydimphic-office, Oct. 9, 1841. HESSELO LIGHT, CATTIIGAT. The Board of Customs at Copenhagen has given notice that a lighthouse has been recently erected on the Island of Hesselo, in the Cattegat, and will be lighted in the present month. It will be a revolving light, every revolution occupy ing one minute, in the following order:—.A very strong light will continue for 11 seconds; this will be succeeded by 19 seconds of a weaker light. The light then be comes altogether invisible for 11 seconds, but will again appear for 19 seconds previous to the return of a strong glare. The light being 85 feet above the level of the sea will be visible from all parts of the horizon within the distance of 14 miles. The building, which is 32 feet high, will be kept white-washed, and stands in lat. 56 11 45 N. and lon. 11 42 20 E. of Greenwich. LITERATURE, THE LAWS OF LANDLORD, TENANT, AND LODGER, 6^c. By John Pater, Attorney-at-Law. Stevens and Norton, London. _ _ This work-is-drawn up in a familiar style, in the form of question and answer, and contains much information on subjects• which interest nearly every person in the community. On the more intricate cases of ejectment the writer does not profess to enter, and properly so, as im perfect information in such instances might lead to ruinous law-suits, and the book being of a very limited size, could not contain one half of them. It is intended rather as a manual for private individuals, as well as for brokers and agents, embodying num erous decisions on the more ordinary disputes between landlord and tenant. It contains a copious in dex, with an appendix of forms for leases, notices. to .landlord or tenant, authorities from a landlord to another person to distrain i alsO_ the legal. mode of making out an inventory by the party distraining. The authorities for the points of law laid down are generally given. The fol lowing extracts respecting lodgings will be found useful : Before you take lodgings, particularly.those which are unfurnished, you should see that the rent of the house is paid up, and will likely continue to be paid; for if not, your furniture:land goods will be liable. You should also make inquiries on the subject of the housekeeper's landlord, and also of the tax gatherer and collector of the parochial rates ; for if distresses are levied for them also, it may cause you considerable inconvonienoti, though for the latter your goods havo - no light to be seized. If you take fixtures from an outgoing tenant, be careful to ascertain that you aro not paying for what in fact be long to the premises, and which the individual selling has no right to dispose of. There should alwa) s be a written agreement, specifying the terms of the letting ; the amount of rent; the time of entry; the length of notice to quit required, and such other matters as the particular circumstances of 3 our case may require. If the lodgings are furnished, it will be requisite for you to have a schedule of the goods they contain affixed to your agreement. Is a lodger justified in quitting apartments without notice, merely from a fear that his goods may be seized for his landlord's rent? No : however reasonable his fears may be, ho cannot remove without notice.—Rickett v. Tullick, 6 Carr. and Payne, 66. A person who verbally agrees to take apartments in the house of another, upon the strength of which the bill for letting is removed from the window, cannot be compelled to perform his undertaking, which is void within the meaning of the 4th section of the Statute of Frauds ; but it is otherwise if the party had paid anything in earnest, or entered on the premises, which would ap pear as part execution of the contract ; which, if so, would enable you to maintain an action of assumpsit against him for not occupying the lodgings pursuant to the undertaking.—lnman and Stamp, Stark 12. • CORONER'S INQUEST. On Saturday an inquest was held before William Carter, Esq., the Coroner for Surrey, at the Kentish Drovers, Old Kent-road, respecting the death of Mr. Thomas Atkins, one of the inmates of the Licensed Victuallers' Asylum. The deceased had arrived at the advanced age of ninety-four years, and the circumstances of the case were very extraordinary. Mr. James Seaward stated that he had been a licensed victualler, but now resided at No. 54, in the The deceased lived at No. 53. On Monday night wit ness went to bed at eleven o'clock-, ana soon after he of a chair. Instantly afterwards a wards noisehe heardlikethe dr fali dreadful groans, and they seem e d to have come from some one who was in an adjoining room. Ile and his wifo got up, and were soon alarmed by Mrs. Grafts, one of the inmates, knocking at the door, and calling out, " For God's sake come down, there is something the matter, and I believe it is Atkins." They instantly went to his house, and could not find him either in the parlour or bed room. Witness, upon looking round, discovered that the window was open, and he again distinctly heard groan ing. Before looking out of it he saw the deceased lying on the pavement and moaning bitterly. lie went down to his assistance, but the deceased said, " Let me alone 4 Witness, with the assistance of his wife, conveyed him to his house, and Mr. Ward, the surgeon of the Institution, having been sent for, most promptly attetidett There was a severe wound on the temple. lie and witness was with him-for konie . ,tu'i. - ' • By the CORONER—In • consequence'' of thti Aee@t(Ws advanced age the Governors had directed'a ntntsi teicon stantly attend him.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sit:—l observe in your paper of Tuesday an appeal to the public ,on behalf of the unemployed compositors and pressmen in the metropolis, by Mr. Bicknell. As=s person who has been long and still is connected with the press, and who has had ample opportunity of know ing the arduous nature of the employment, I sincerely hope that the appeal now made will meet with a hearty and ready royp But while such is my hope, I think the present is a fitting moment for bringing under the notice of the printers in connection with the appeal now made to the public, the great hardship which their " combination," for to all intents and purposes it is a " combination," inflicts upon the employers, and the disadvantage it entails upon themselves. One passage in Mr. Bicknell's address is apt to mislead. He says, " In the composing branch upwards of 1,000 are seeking employment in vain, and besides about 500 more ave raging ten shillings a week." Now, it may be supposed that this is the average allowance for the week's work, while the truth is, that it is the remuneration which will be earned in less than two days. It may be said that this does not lessen the distress arising from the want of sufficient employment. It does not; but it leads me to say, that sooner than accept of a reduced rate of allowance, compositors will go about idle. In the pro winces no journeyman is allowed to accept of less than a fixed rate of wages, and neither will the employer be allowed to exercise his undoubted right of employing as many apprentices as he pleases. I have known of in stances where the workmen have come in a body, and told the master that the apprentice he had intro duced, being one more than the " trade " allowed, he must be dismissed, otherwise they would strike. In most businesses a threat of this kind can be resisted (as wit ness the late strike at the new Houses of Parliament) by the employer. He may let his work stand, and throw himself upon the indulgence of the parties who have contracted with him for work—but the proprietor of a newspaper is powerless. The salvation of his pro perty depends upon the publication of his paper by a cer tain day and hour ; and to keep up a warfare with the hands upon whom he depends for the accomplish ment of this is out of the question. I have no hesitation in saying. that these arbitrary rules have. tended in a great many instances to sour employers towards their workmen, and to put a, dog on speculations calculated to create employMe7st. Many newspapers and publications would haw been started had it not been for the obstruc tions thrown in the way of conducting the mechanical department in an economical manner, and booksellers and others would have added " printers" to their other avocations, had they seen the prospect of a profit. At present in provincial towns there is no hope for a man establishing himself as a printer, unless ho be able and willing to work at the business with his own hands. Now look at the effect. A practical printer commences busi ness for himself,. takes as many apprentices as he likes— the rules of the " trade" cannot reach him, because he has no journeymen upon whom the rules can be brought to bear. A newspaper proprietor again, who employs a number of journeymen on the newspaper and on job printing, has to compete with his neighbour over the way, who works with his own hands, and is aided by apprentices. The one must pay a certain sum to his journeymen, and employ only a certain number of ap prentices, the other can do as he likes,—he is beyond the reach of the combined compositors. Is not this an obstruction to enterprise in the printing business ? Is it just or equitable that the printers should convert into a lever to raise wages, the peculiarity I have noticed in the newspaper trade ? In the English provincial towns, 245. must be paid to every journeyman, no matter what his abilities are ; in Scotland 20s. is the smallest sum. If you engage a journeyman you engage a man " protected" at all points. First, his wages are fixed ; and, second, his station must be kept up by an embargo on appren tices. His capabilities are the only thing about which there is any doubt. It may be said, well, look at our condition even with the limitations we have fixed, what would it have been had we allowed the competition to ex ist which arises from an unlimited number of appren tices ? This looks specious, but it is hollow. Evers:: thing which cramps the efforts of employers is pure to operate, sooner or later, against the employe , ",,, My im pression is that had the non-restricts'--, policy not been in operation, the wages of good In : - orkmen would not have been less than they are at. -. present, and a greater demand for hands would hinse ex i ste d, as well as a more friendly spirit betw'.._,-en the employer and the employed. While I allinv the right of every man to sell his labour at the best market, I deny as firinly his right to adopt other than legitimate means to effect his object. As regards the question of " relief," the necessity of affording it rests up the existence of distress, and there can be no doubt that that distress does exist to a touch ing extent. Nov. 3, 1841. FAIR PLAY. A LESSON TO POLITICAL CON- SPIRATORS. - In the tnonth of March, 1840, Robert Pedie, William Broke, Paul Holesworth, and James Drake, were tried at York, among others of the " Chartists," upon the charge of "conspiracy to raise insurrections," &c., in Bradford, and the two former had been committed for high treason. An important part of the evidence was supplied by John Ashton, an accomplice, and James Harrison, who admitted himself to be a paid spy, and that he had been instrumental, to a certain extent, in for warding the design which he came to prove. The four defendants were found guilty, and sentenced as follows : Pedie, to be imprisoned three years in Beverly House of Correction ; Brooke, three years in Northallerton ; lioidsworth, three years in Northallerton ; and Drake, eighteen months in Beverly. On the 23d of last month (October) the James Harrison above mentioned was tried at the Preston Q uar t er Sessions, upon the charge of stealing a horse, the property of Stephen Fawcett. He was found guilty, and sentenced to be im prisoned, with hard labour, in the Castle of Lancaster, , fur two years. He had once been a turnkey in the Pres ton House of Correction, and was subsequently well known in that neighbourhood as a common informer. It was proved at the trial that Harrison's offence had been effected by a scheme of singular atrocity, and quite in keeping with his previous habits. He had employed two young men (who did not clearly appear to have any guilty knowledge in the matter) as his agents, to lead the horse to a place at which he appointed to meet them, and pay them for their trouble. He then informed against them to the police, telling an officer such an account as might ensure their detection ; at the same time, however, suggesting to him that he should not be too hasty in making known the guilty parties, as it was most likely a " reward" would be advertised, if sufficient time were allowed ! The agents, Edward English and William Lambert, were accordingly apprehended and committed for trial. But finally the tables were turned on the informer, who this time stood in the dock, in stead of the witness-box, while the two young men were brought as witnesses against him, and were afterwards discharged from custody, and so luckily escaped the trap that had been laid for them. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE COURT OF CHANCERY—NEW JUDGES. As the Bill entitled " An Act to make further Pro vision for the Administration of Justice," originally pre sented to the Ilbrds, but afterwards originated in the Commons-, - lia account of money clauses, must now be : 11 e7v!'!, as the law of the land, a fuller abstract of it, as it finally passed, than has yet appeared, may be accept able and useful.

NAVIES. 70 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. The Sun of Oct. 23 you state that a great many of our small line-of -battle ships are to be reduced to 50 gun frigates, similar to the Dublin, Winchester, &c., so a s t o compete with th e l arge f r i gates of Amc rica and France. You are mistaken in supposing that the Winchester, Southampton, President, and many others of the same class are of a similar force to the Dublin, Warspite, &c., though they mount the same number of guns. To explain this clearly I will go back to the late American war. In consequence of the American frigates, which carried 2 4-pounders, taking three of our large frigates, mounting 18-pounders, seve ral ships were built about the same size and force as the Then first class American frigates. The Winchester, Southampton, Portland, and others are of this class ; they are about 1,400 tons, and until the late change in the armament mounted long 24-pounders on the main deck, with a complement of 400 men. The President, of the same clasp, v as built on the plan of the American President, which ship we captured. Still taking the lead in having N ery large frigates, the Americans dis continued buieling any of similar force to those they possessed, and haee ever since built a still larger class, nearly 1,800 tons, mounting 54 guns, long 32-pounders, on the main deck, having ports on the gangwaes to en able them (when required) to me= 62 guns. To meet this class, and also the new French double-banked frigates of 62 guns, the Bsrham, Dublin,and about a dozen. other small line-oebattle ships were cut down, and one (the Vernon) built. They mount 50 guns, long 32_ pounders, on the main deck, and ate about 1,750 tb m . They are as far superior to the Winchester class as that class is to the old 18. pounder frigate. As much ignorance exists on these points, I am anxious that the non-professional publ;c should have the subject explained to them, that they may not again form such wrong opinions respecting naval actions as they did when two or three of cur frigates were captured by the Americans in 1812. I know it is difficult to make those ignorant of the subject understand that one frigate of 50 guns may be far inferior in force to another frigate of 50 guns ; but when they know that one is 1,400 tons, mounts 24-pounders on the main deck, with a crew of 400 men, and the other 1,750 tons, mounts 32-pounders on the main deck, with a crew of 500 men, they will see what a great difference really exists. By the new armament in our service the 24-pounders in the second class, and the 18-pounders in the third class, have been changed for 32-pounders medium guns, of the same weight as their old guns, but of course tnuc h in ferior in rang e and effect to long 32-pounders. This does not alter the class, as the President can only be considered an equal match for ap American frigate of the same size, whether she moteats medium 32-pounders or long 21-pounders. To make all this 0 3 ;erer, I wi.l endeavour to put the classes in a tabular ¶urm FIRST CLASS r RIGATES. Tons. Guns. American .andywine 1770 54 long 32pdrs 550 '''..

The French were, I believe, the first that did so. The calibre of their guns is a little larger than ours., their 301 b. shot being about 33e11e. English weight. By this table it will be seen that each class of Ame rican ships has a fair match, in a corresponding class in our navy ; but to expect either of the smaller classes to contend successfully with ships of the class above them would be expecting more than our navy ever did (with one or two exceptions) throughout the last French war. That we should attempt it, and sometimes succeed, I have no doubt, particularly with our present system of gunnery ; but should the attempt (which it sometimes would with much inferior force) prove unsuccessful, it must not be supposed that our navy is inferior to what it once was. This should be determined only by ac tions between ships of the same class; and should a war with America be forced on us, on no point will a clear understanding of the force of our ships be more necessary than on the two classes of .50 gun frigates ; for if one of our second class was captured by them, they would gladly seize on any statement in an English paper that went to prove that class equal to their largest frigates. The fear el this has made me trouble you with such a long explanation. Oct. 25. AMIGO. ~'~glish American English American English Men. P.S. Should a war break out, a table showing the class and force of our ships, compared with those of the enemy, should b 3 published, th it in case of either suc cess or failure the public would be able to form a just opinion on the merits of the case, COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE AND liumounisr FOR NOVEMBER. EDITED BY THOMAS HOOD, ESQ.—Hood, who is now fairly plunged into the editorship of this periodical, seems determined to keep up its stock of laughter, and retains all the comic writers in his train. Mrs. Trollope disports her iniaart satire; Mr. Jerrold revels in that peculiar sarqastn bines the: ludicrous with the painful in so .:.". gree; Mr. Hood himself grows fresh with neW: re, told in his own unrivalled style of quaint andiv• ing freedom ; and last, not least, PooleotWilfis genuine and gentlemanly humour, wakes all sorts of pleasant merriment in the reader's mind. 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 diseontented 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 'lector Boreall.' "—Morning Post. NEW COIN.—We have been enabled to ex amine a new " five-pound golden piece," the production of William Wyon, I;sq., R.A., which, for chastity of de sign and beauty of execution, far exceeds anything that has been hitherto issued from her Majesty's Mint. The head of the " Royal lady" is clear and carefully defined ; and on the reverse Mr. Wyon has happily identified the exquisite fable of Una guiding the Lion with our own Queen. The likeness is preserved in both face and fie•ure. When the coin comes into circulation, no cabinet of English coins can be without it. We sincerely con gratulate Mr. Wyon on this chtf-d'cruvre of his art : his pure and classic taste is of great value to the country ; and everything within the sphere of his influence takes a high moral tone worthy his occupation. We must bear in mind that, above all others, the medallist labour% for posterity ; his works are tests of the truth of history ; they mark the period and semblance of the age. It is pleasant to think that such labours cannot fail of being " time-honoured." —The Art-Union.
