MANNERS OF THE DUTCH. Gaouw, OCT. 12.—The Frisian peasant is early at his labours. He rises in summer at three, or half-past three, in the morning, whan the cows are milked, the butter churned, and the curds sent to the cheese-press. The hired la bourers assemble at five o'clock, and the opera tions of agriculture are carried on till eight o'clock. It is the custom-of some to dine at this hour, and then to rest til l ten o'clock, when they resume their labours till two o'clock, when they eat a slice of rye bread and butter, and drink a cup of tea. The others lireakfast, and at nine o'clock commence their toils. These dine at twelve o'clock. The labours of the day end at six o'clock in the afternoon, and at eight or nine o'clock the whole pea sant population is at rest. During the sum mer months the dinner hour is usually eight o'clock in the morning ; but on Sundays it is shifted to eleven o'olock ; while through the winter it is invariably at mid-day. The thresher is earlier at his occupation than the others: he begins his day at two or three e'cloals in the morning, and ends at the same hour in the after noon. The Frisians have their harvest home. It is held on the Saturday which follows the gathering in of the last of the crop. All are in vited who have shared in the toils of the season. The feast consists of routed mutton,. raisins, apples, prunes, &c.; and coffee, with Geneva and brandy, close the gastronomic interest of the festivity ; but dances and sports last through 4 good part of the night. The Sunday is almost without exception, a day of rest and enjoyment. The peasants go once or twice to the parish church, and after wards visit their relations and friends. They assemble in the evening at the publie-house, when their amusement is frequently a game called Knuppelen. A cat is enclosed inn._ barrel, and the sport is to hurl a stick from i certain distance, and so to break the barrel that grimalkin may escape. Many other feats are ,performed by throwing the stick. 'ln'awinteia cards are the amusement ; and,, on ' .smoking. The pipe is the eternal Compaisipas the The y‘fung peasants frequently sit up the whole night with their lovers, when the parents have retired to rest. I believe moral improprieties seldom occur in conseqnlrice. The fairs and markets. t 'Friesland are worthy of a word. The former ainair once a-year, in the principal towns and- , villagee ; seridsare inueli frequented. Dancers publie-liniisee, at tracted by itinerant musicians ; and there is fre quently a horse-race, in which nothing swifter than a trot is allowed, the prize being an orna mented whip or.a pair of sprthi. The fair is the understood rendezvous of lovers ; and here the youth displays his gallantry by his liberal expen diture. The sports are often tumultuous, last ing the' whole night long --tea, coffee, wines, and spirits, Are introduced. Tlie 'fanners habitually attend a neighbouring market once `s-week.-=- There are particular epochs yfhen the assemblage is almost universal. Such is that of the middle of May at Leeuwarden. This period is a very important one,. as it is then that sorsrents change their situations (the 13th of May, and generally take a holiday of some days, anti visit the-prin eipal taani of the district, wiaen a succession of dances and other amusements consoles them' for the anticipated toils of the' coming year. Marria f e, as I have before mentioned, is o nly a civil rite in the Netherlands. It belongs to the Magistrate, and not td Ole Prick. It is an affair that concerns the State and not the Church. As the laws make no distinction be tween sects, and are held to provide for the gene ral security, as they deem of equal importance that the birth, marriage, and death, of every in dividual, should be registered with equal care— all titles to property become of easy ascertain meat ; and the. history of every individual, as re spects the points on which society hae an inte rest, is registered by the officers of the State,— "What a contrast to the confusion which reigns in England, vrhare a child must belong to the Establishment to have its birth noted in the parish books, and the record is not of birth, but of baptism, where the grown persons . must married (however annoying the ceremonial may be) by theyarish priest, in order to obtain a legitimate evidence,---and where no Fltce but the parish church-yard can give their successor the privilege of a legal recognition of the fact of decease ! In one of the towns of Friesland I asked for the archives of the. inha bitants, and a book was shown me, in tvhicb the day of birth, marriage, and death was written of all parties to whom either of these e' eats had happened within the district. On the girth of a child (which the parent is bound to announce within 24, hours), its name is entered in an al phabetical list. When married, the date is re corded underthe ' a , ..ppropriate column, transferred from the Inuntopal'aepprt, and so, when dead, from the parochial return: ,The marriage cere- DI Oliial is iimplet IlettCttninent s aakee place a the weddie g parties attend, th e I .6urgoe fortnight before the - .frieliJS And near relatives of time nias ter declares that the p arties are le ga il y un i ted as soon as they have professed their mutual wil lingness, he reads the article of the Code which declares the oblikitions of the marriage state. All the parties withdraw to a feast prepared at.the house of the bride's friends. Every guest bringe apresent. Epithalamiums are freq uentl y re p eated ; songs and dancing often last till the morning dawns. On time birth of a child, or ratheroti the ninth day alter the birth, notice is sent to all the fe male friends of the mother, and they assemble frequently in great numbers, and sometimes to the serious inconvenience of the convalescent. Even amongst the lowest classes, tea, coffee, wheat en bread, bum, sugared brandy, and rai sins, are given to the guests, each of whom. brings some present for eating or drinking. . 'Hie 'funerals are remarkable. So much im portance yeas, attached to the " pomp of death," that it has been necessary for the authorities to interfere, indirectly, a n order to prevent the su perfluous and ruinous expence attached to them. ° An immens e number of pers o n s are invited to follow' the body to the grave; the village Parson ; walks at the head of all the his wife Men pre cedes all the women ; then f ollow the relations of the deceased, clad, :f he were, of aespece able situation, in Ana black cloak s . Th e women wear a large black vein When the. p ace of burial is distant, the corpse is conveyed in a carriage, and the relations follow iii . other car riages. As soon as the church-yard is reached, the corpse is carried once, or more, 4)1 round the church, it is lowered into the grave, a few clods of earth are thrown on it in the preSei" of the assembly, and the whole company returns to the house recently occupied by the deceased, where a feast is prepared in almost every room. The parson and his lady take the head of the table, and range near them the relations of the defunct in the order of their proximity of .rela tionship., He utters a prayer at the commence- anent, another at the close of the entertainment, in one of which he makes the proper allusions to the character of the dead, and gives his les son on mot tality. After the feast pipes are brought in, and it is late ere the company disperses. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Go,lette de Fiance, dated Nov. 9.) CONSTANT) OPLE, OCT. lo.—The news which the Porte has received from the army in Bulgaria come down to the sth, both feom the camp at Shemla and Varna. The Grand Vizier, after having passed the Balkan, had arrived on the other side of the Kamzick, and had made several attempts to relieve Varna. Soar_ thousand men under the command of Omer racha Triune had been sent from Sltumla. Towards the and of September there had been a series of engagements, in which the Turks, notwith standing their efforts, had not been able to dislodge the Russians from their strongly entrenched position on the south side of the Bay of Varna. The warmest affairs were on the 26th and 30th of September. The Russians had lost many men, especially of the Guards, and; everal of them Generals. The despatAes from Shurala say, that on the 4th Alisch l'acha, having been on the road to litazardjik, was returning with booty and prisoners, when he was surrounded in a wood by a party of Don Cos sacks. He took the desperate resolution of massa creing the prisoners, who endeavoured to rejoin their comrades, and his cavalry charged the enemy with evict fury that they gave way, and so the Pacha re turned to Shurnla without further obstacle. This time the Porte has not published any bulle tins of these events, as it did on former occasions. Private letters from Shamla say, that Halil Pacha, who had distinguished himself several times at the head of the regular troops, had been removed on ac count of some indiscreet expressions, which might create jealousy between the reviler and irregular troops. He has been to Demotika. In Asia, General Paskewitch had, after the taking of Kars, mace. himself master of the fortresses of Alkalkalaki, Ghewisi Ackalzik, and Asgur, and had obtained signal advantages ever the Turkish troops Resembled in those countries. Galib, Pattie of Eroeropm, whom his great age renders incapable of properly defending that Impor tant province, has been removed ; and his son, Jalib, Pacha of Maden, been appointed in his room. Several distinguished officers, and one of the bravest of the Capidgi Bachis, have just been sent with considerable reinforeemeoto to the army in Asia. The sultan is still in the camp at Ramis Tchiaik, but it is tho iglu he will soon set out for Adrianople. The mos complete order reigns in the capital, thanks to tle indefatigable vigilance of the police, which does rot relax in any respect, notwithstand ing the Absence of the Sultan, from whom it every day receives precise orders. No excesses have been committed. On the eoutrary, the Alepires have obtained pe!mission to return to their homes in Pera and Constaltinople, which they were obliged to aWndon at the time ("1 the persecution against the Armenians. This favour of the Government has had . a very Good effect 9!) the public, as it may now be hoped that the Admistration, better informed of the real state of things, will relax in its rigour towards those unfortunate Armenians. Th ardiniun Envoy, Marquis Gropallo, took leave to,day or the Reis Effendi, intending to ac. company o the Dardanellps his family, who are going to return Genoa.—Amtrian Observer, (From the Journal des Debate.) PARIS. Nov'. B—A terrific event happened on Tuesday evening, near Versailles. At the hamlet of Pcti:-Chesnay, a quarter of a league from the city, a .uarrel took place between the horse grena diers a, d the Swiss of the Royal Guard. There ;e or six men killed, and from twenty-five to thirty wounded. It is to be hoped that at length the C overntnent wilt be convinced of the dagger of allow the soldiers to keep their arms when not on duty for that converts the most frivolous suarrela into ::)Ic, , dy contests when they occur zurong urunken HOle, 41'5, who then know no other law but that of the sabre at their aide. The horse grenadiers aura th,. Swiss of the Royal Guard are in garrison at 1 7 (.rsailles. The former had seJecteci for their ren- &avotis a public...bowie by the uanie of Chesney, to v,hieh they resorted frequently, conceiving that this place of amusement was more especially appropriated 5y their body. On St. Charles's Day they repair ed, after an absence of two menthe, to their usual rendezvous, but during their absence from the gar rison the Swiss had taken possession of their quer tera.; words arose, ak insult was given by a Swiss to a grenadier, and this was the signal for a tight. Bleod was she. on both sides; and, as we have said, several were wounded, and five killed. Another account states, that on the day of the King's fete, the Horse Grenadiers of the Jet Regi ment went to drink at Petit-Chesney, a quarter of a league from Versailles; and some soldiers of the Swiss Guards, also in garrison at Versailles, were drinking at the same place. There were in parti cular many of both regiments at the public-house ff Grace de Dieu," kept by M. Leveille, The Swiss were 4ancing, when one of the grenadiers enter4d, covered wish Wood, and a large wound in his fore head. "'ro prms, Frenchmen," cried he, " the Swiss are murOeritig ma." At these words foreigners and Frenchmen: drew thei;: sabres ! a terrible quarrel ensued, tables, jugs, bottles, were all broken; and outside of the public-house soldiers were seen pur suing their opponents, with a candle in one hand, .and a sabre iu t!Le other. The landlord jumped out of the window, his wife escaped in another direction. Rage and drunkenness mitered the soldiers to such a degree, that the poor fiddler would have been massa need, had he not implored mercy on his knees, At the beginning of the affray the Guards were beaten, a reinforcame,Ut At as sent sufficiently strong to seize and carry oil tile combatants.

The accounts from Constantinople are only dated the I.oth October, and they conse quently refer to events which took place seve ral days previously to the. fall of Varna. The reported surrender of Silistria is not yet confirmed by any illyiligence from the usual channels of communication with the seat of war ; but such an event is by no means improbable in le present juncture of Russian affairs in tha varier. The Turks are well aware of what importance Silistria is to their cause, and the Russians are impressed the other way. The advanced state of the season urges the ne cessity of increased enterprise on both the belligerents ; and though the act of pos session is strongly in favour of the Turks, yet the security obtained by the Russians, in consequence of the fall of Veins, will serve ma• terially to confirm their confidence, and stimu late to much daring,—added to which, the ne cessity of protecting their right wing, by the capture of Silistria, is a conclusive argument. Under these circumstances, we shall not be at all surprised to hear that Silistria has fallen into the hands of the Russians, either in the ordinary course of places besieged, or by storm. • The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 4th inst. con tains a long article from the Courier of Sinyrna, which is highly favourable to the Turks. It speaks in a strain of much confidence of the' military fervour so long dormant, being rekindled by the energy of the SULTAN, who proves him self on every occasion a man of deep discern tnent and magnanimous resolution. The new system seems new to become as great a favourite with the Turks as it was formerly obnoxious. So it is with all national prejudices—the first step is generally the most objectionable, if not the most dangerous. But the SULTAN has passed 'the " Rubicon " of Reformation, and now only wants the return of peace to consoli date the great purposes of his reign—the rege neration of his people—a work which will not be more beneficial to Turkey than conducive to his own individual glory : AUGSBURGH, NOV. 3. The Courtier de Smyrne of the 4th Oct., has the fullowing paragraph : " The camp of the Sultan at Ramis Tchitiik pro tects the capital on the North-west side, while the Seraskier, Mehemed Chosrew Paella, still occupies the position of Daud Pacha, which covers Constan tinople on the South side. The battalions which he commands are constantly exercised by A. M. Gail lard, Instructor General of the infantry, and the ma noeuvres are very frequently directed by the Sultan himself. Ramis Tchiflik and Daud Pacha are only a league from Constantinople. As the Sultan, so long as the standard of the Prophet is out of the walls of Constantinople, curios return thither even incognito, he performs his devotions in the Mosque of Ejub, which is not in the walls. The Porte has hired several ships to fetch corn from Alexandria, the coasts of Syria, Salonichi, Volo, and other places, where there are large magazines. It has been confidently affirmed that a great part of the naval force of the Viceroy of Egypt would come this autumn, to Constantinople, ao that united with the ships still at the entrance of the Bosphorus, and with those that were building at Boudroun and Mitylene, they might form in the next campaign a naval force capable of opposing the Russian fleet. The lurks are said to . be now so passionately fond of the new militaay system that companies of young soldiers, who have come from the interior of Asia, are seen exercising by night, that they may not be told by the instructor, on the fol slowing morning, that they are behind the others.— The feeling :of qatjoplil prirle has never been extinct in the Turks, bnt a skilf ul hand has long been want ing to give it a proper direction ; this is pow found ; the nation wakes from its slumber at the voice of its Chief, and its ancient energy , rapidly returns." In conclusion, however, the Courrier advises the Sul tan, as he is now fayonred by fortune, to be the first to offer peace, and the c4Funce of the Bos- AMA might be lixed for the meeting of the two. Sovereigns. The Cour*r de Suzyrne, in its numbe r . of the 27th of September, hits a long articleits usual acrimonious style, on the ' affairs of Greece, the substance of which is, that ,Colonel fleidegger and the President support each the to b fi el r i t gwtitehso9iineeimtaoribste 11.0114, other in sal and military, with, foreigners; o !ivho have the good fortune the latter with Cor fiot Counts. To be of any consequence a man must be a foreigner, and have letters of recommendation from a German Noble to Colonel Ueidegger, or f rom an lonian iN,Qble to the President. .The Cowrie?' enumerates a great many places in the array, naval, and civil departments, filled by foreigners unknown by their services, useless as far as their talents are concerned, indebted for their places to their birth or for their country, or the influence of distant protectors. " Discontent is loud, and every one culls for a National Assembly. Every one exclaims, that such important questions as those to be discussed in the Congress at Poros ought not to be treated by the President alone, without the representatives of the nation; that he cannot continue to exercise dic tatorial power without exposing himself to a re action, and Greece never intended to confide its existence to his bands. The circumstances are critical ; they call for great prudence in the Presi dent, and perhaps an entire change in the spirit of his administration." VIENNA, OCT. 30.—Metalliques, 94 ; Bank Shares, 1,083. The LORD MAYOR'S Fete passed off yester day with un u sua l ec l at . F rom t h e *L ORD • MAYOR'S connection with several of his MA ' JESTY'S Ministers it was strongly, but not wisely, ; expected that some allusion would be made by the Duke of WELLINGTON to political events of a foreign or of a do mestic nature, but in these expectations the knowing ones were, as they now own, grie _vously disappointed. Equally disappointed were the Ultra Tories of Manchester at Mr. PEEL'S determination to think and act for himself, by not choosing to step out of his way to dissipate the doubts or satisfy the mis givings of fearful but interested individuals. However much we may differ with public men on, public matters, we always hold it proper to let them enjoy their private opinions, which should be held sacred from party bickerings or political animosity. If the Duke of WELLING TON, Mr. PEEL, or any other of his MA JEsTY's Ministers, had made any allusion to passing events at a convivial entertainment, we think they would be stepping not beyond the modesty of office, but beyond the propriety of official responsibility. The convivial table may be the fit scene for gentle courtesy and reciprocal compliment ; but it is not the proper place for the Ministers of a country to lisp obit the secrets of Government, merely for the gratification of the curious, or the satisfaction of the vain glorious. That Ministers are at present deeply engaged in schemes for the general pacification of the coun try—particularly Ireland, we know; but then the premature disclosure of their plans would not expedite the business, though it might se the table in a roar. INliramichi Papers, of the 28d Sept., mention that it was understood his Excellency the Lieu tenant-Governor did not intend to go to England yet, unless he received despatches by the next mail requiring his early attendance in England; but Lady Dour,As and family take their passage' to Glasgow in the Allan, GILMOUR, from St. John's.

The Duke of York steamer, from London, had passed the Straits on the 16th, and landed Dr. BRA DFOOT and lady in a boat. She pro ceeded for Genoa, and on her return would call at Gibraltar, about the 10th of November. The Superior Board of Health, of the kingdom of Valencia, officially announced that on the 27th ult. (Sept.), a man had died of the yellow fever at Torre Viga. Three medical practitioners were still ill, and we are sorry to notice among the deaths, Miss YATES and Mr. COCHRANE. Up to the 20th, no heavy rains had fallen, and which were most anxiously looked for, as the only alleviation expected from the dreadful mortality. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CIT Y, Twavt YR 0' CLOCK.

A Yerwori was returned for the plaintiff, with'one mazes. The grounds upon which he now con e io i new trial were th ese : --Th e d e f endant himsel f 1,0 actually boasted of having done the very thing j o t was imputed to him. The matter became p and gave rise to some angry correspoudence• . 0 4 publicatio n o f w hi c h b ecame the ground 'of ant The action was brought against three parties, oil,' whom was a' Mr. Stafford, who had nothing ever to d o w i t h t h e lib e l . Upon the trial the r tiff contented' himself with proving the pablid and left it to the defendant to justify it if het Me (Sir James Scarlet') produced evidence ipv tification, which . he thought to be tolerk it l complete; but, as there wa s no evidence& all affecting Mr. Stafford, he applied for his ictunet acquittal in Order that he might give testin 3 rw towards est a bli s hi ng t h e j ust ification.

He replied that was there by accident.

He was lastly asked it he had bad communication with the plaintiff, and he positiee'V denied that he had. Now he (Sir J. Scarlet') I° the affidavits of forty or fifty persons, all resPecr able, sonic of them Magistrates, stating that Mr. was a gentleman of unquestionable veracity, anal a meeting of the inhabitants of his neighbourho° an attestation of his character was signed by the° all. He had also en affidavit from three perso° who were w i tnesses f or the plaintiff stating, that tl4° night before the trial Brown was at the Mitre vern, and was closeted there in a private room vet the plaintiff for two ho urs an d a h a lf , an d the 1116; thing the plaintiff said to Brown, when they perm:: was " Well, you will meet me again to-morrow' f He had al so ev id ence o f t h e previous declaration the plaintiff himself, tkat he had put Stafford in el a defendant in order to shut out his evidence, wbie" would destroy hi s cage and that h e was i n a stela of alarm, as was a l so his solicitor, lest he shoul lose his case if Stafford was allowed to give evidenoe' It also turned out that Brown had some pecuniari transactions with Stafford, which he (Sir J. Scarlet') did not seem it safe to examine into on the trial , because be was not exactly aware of their nature. , Lord TENTERDEN—Supposing Stafford's te sti: mony to have been good, would it , have establishe d a justification ?

The only thing against Mr. Stafford wit° that be had seen the copy in the lady's room, and did not tell her of it because he had promised secrecy. It was also an extraordinary fact, that Brown had formerly given evidence in a cause, and his evidence , led to his being indicted for perjury, and the prose' cution was foregone upon his signing an abject deela' ration that his evidence was false, and paying all the costs of the prosecution, as well as the coats of, the . cause in which he had given evidence. In addition to this, he was also informed that he was an tower' tificated bankrupt. The verdict was only for 0 5 ° shilling damages, but still, under the circumstances of the ease, the defendants determined to set aside the verdict. The COURT granted the rule on the ground that the verdict - was obtained by a fraud. LEFAILATION..—PICIER ING V. .70XE9.

In this case damages to the extent of 7504 bad been recovered by the plaintiff for au injury ell' tained by him in consequence, of the falling of al4 I of wool from the storehouse of the defendants. TO Judge in hi,s charge to the Jnry said, that if the plaintiff in consequence of seeing the bag of 'wool despending had lost his presence of-mind so far as to run into, instead of out of the' Way of danger, is would not destroy his claim for damages against the defendants, Sir J. SCARLLTT now moved fora . rule to AO' cause why a new trial should not be' 'granted, up 9 1 . 1. the ground of misdirection on the part of OP Learned Judge who presided in the parti (Aar 0 05 e above stated.
