DUKE OF ST. ALBANS' GRAND DAY OF FALCONRY. D'S. e j N.W.--Arr i . r ter" The Duke of St. Alban's, Hereditary Grand Falcon e,otofEngland, gave a gran d d ay o f F a l conr y, at Red !nrn!,.on W e d nes d ay l ast . A mong t h e party who were invited to partake of the entertainment were t he Mayor, Aldermen, Town Clerk, Sheriffs, and C oroners of th e county o f Li nco l n , the neighbour n gentry, and the tenants of his Grace. - At the summit of the old arch at the lodge, a green flag was hoisted, bearing the inscription of St. Albans', ktid, urmounted by the arms and coronet. On the e ast . side o f th e mans i on , an d o n the left of the road leading to the stables and outhouses, were placed the feathered vassals of the Noble Duke, consisting of eight tine falcons; they were each chained tol a sec tion of a Lone of wood, about fifteen inches in height and ten i nc h es i n di ameter a t th e b ase ment. They Were unhooded but belled, and mostly sat at the t op of their posts. Six of these were taken for the Voila of the day, the others being left to do garrison duty. , About 100 of the Duke's tenants assembled on h tir orseb ac k i n front of the hall, h ea d e d b y t h e Stow and bearing green favours (the hunter's imme morial colour) ; the Hereditary Grand Falconer himself ,appeared d resse d i n t h e o ffi c i a l costume o f hi s p os t, consisting of green jacket, a golden girdle, and gauntlets m a gn ifi cen tly tritamed ; Spanish hat I the Wande f _te k i ne (l up before, with a large white feather, bus nerchant .Drev o, ' n " e s, and g o ld s p urs . His Grace was mounted on a ado t chestnut hunter. The Duchess, the Ladies nith, from, . 11 0, ze auc l erk, and other ladies, came on the ground i n ; Margaret: e r bs k °Yen carriages and four. They were splendidly inks, from dressed in Lincoln green and scarlet shawls. The rrived the' tP , . c°lll Pany having proceeded to the ground, the fal et'arY commenced.. *r IST FLIG ved the Bea u , HT—A dog having pointed, a hawk was 00 itil freedom into n ooded and loosed; .. it rose with all the grace of traits • andj its native element, wheeling over the t headso f•l- ;, - ..he Hermes, ; sweeping to the right and to the left ; now ersburgh. 1 ; 11 l1ag into mid-air in the distance, and now atten ived the d i t 've to the hawker's call, gradually contracting its • 0 0. range of flight, and narrowing its, circles ; descend , red the . 0 : i l l ,suddenly to the surface of the earth, and the ng fi egain with equal abruptness. The partridge n ; and Port wasshed, and tlew with the wind, towards the company; the hawk marked it with apparent uncon -0- " cern, and as though little disposed to take the same direction, t yet, without exactly pursuing any track, Li • e gradually neared it to within a certain distance, ' ,. l • twrigAt ao ; a v/ . hen he suddenly . crossed on the bird's line of absolutely and, seizing It at a height of 30 or 40 yards, salted . s t r e st. )° , l : .bsolutely bore it in his beak, bleeding and scream it night, be • i ng, over the heads of the company, and carrying stated that . it I road, down into the belt of a plantation adjoining the uite sober, 01 00 1 0 The numerous company (400, perhaps, in Cartwright t :ter) were equally astonished and delighted with ird, and rou t :0 0 the singularity and the effect of such a bold and no and Jones l a vel action. The hawker brought the bird, which alarm, a . was quite dead, to the carriage of the Duchess, 0 With the hawk on his hand, pecking the bleeding hat the c otale bead_ with its powerful bill. It was ascertained to P ited them h i the " favourite hawk." I..nother pereo° o , gienge an d vio tot . 2D FLIGHT—As soon as the hawk was loosed, the ofr, aen qv wind carried it with great violence to the east ; and, though the hawker exerted his utmost endeavours, other man; the s oun d o f hi s ca ll did n ot appear to, reach the beer, and uh ei r beer or his rid,wbich kept wheeling in large circles, and mak ing for the east and north-east alternately. At length it crossed the road at a distance, and flew off almost in a tangent for the woods to the left of the Company. The Duke galloped. after it with some " drawers" or lures, attached to his girdle; and cleared several fences in the boldest style; he was followed by a number of other horsemen; and though they came up with it again, it changed its course, and got off out of all chance of being taken. A considerable time was spent in the pursuit, which was at length given up. From the bells attached to its legs (on which the Duke's name is engraved) it will be readily detected, and recognised as the serf of the Grand Falconer. 3D FLIGHT—Though it was evident, from the state of the wind, that there was great danger of losing the hawks by persisting in the sport, his Grace ordered. a third hawk to be tried. A bird was flushed, on which it darted almost immediately, and kilted in fine style ; a second bird arose, and - made direct across the large field for the company. The hawk was at a considerable distance, but bore ob liquely on the same line ; there was the fullest con viction that the bird would escape; when about balf across the field, the hawk being at the height of twenty yards above the partridge, flew rapidly, as though passing over it, when it descended in a sudden swoop, curving down with great force, and striking the bird, which had lowered itself, with a violence that made it roll over several times as it fell on the ground, about twenty yards from the corn- Pany. Yet the point of contact was not visible to tile eye; the motion when it was struck could not be traced; you only saw the effect. The hawk rose again, and crossed the road; but soon returned over th e spot where the bird lay trembling; the partridge again rose, and was cheered by the company as it crossed just over their heads, and flew down a lane ; the hawk followed it as though indolently, but soon made a second dart, striking the partridge with vio lence into the ditch ; and thus killing both its birds in good style. At the termination of the hawking the company Were entertained by the Duke and Duchess with a most sumptuous banquet, and a splendid exhibition of Are-works concluded the amusements.

The amiatile family of the dim s have t Vicar consisted of himself, his wife, and two infant r children. The lady, who had not been married more j than four years, and who was remark able for an artless cock phefr — oo sf es , and unassuming simplicity of manner, which gained her nage, was 0 . 4. friends wherever she went, had of late much un of credeah , " • easiness to her husband and more immediate acquaintances, by a n apparent disregard of those peculiar duties apper taining to her station, the performance of which at ono time appeared her greatest pleasure and comfort. The vil lage sc h oo l where she had been wont to preside was ne glected ; the cottage of the poor and industrious pea sant was no longer visited ; and a visible restlessness appeared in her manner and disposition, at once pain ful and alarming. Still the causes of it were never str,-z;ised, until one day last week, when, having taken a i4iwnips walk, she did net return at the usual dinner hour, F.yen then, for some time, th e real nature of her absence was not for a mo• meat guessed at, but, as night approached, her wardrob e was examined, and it was then found that the more valuable portion of its contents were missing. Sus picion, which until this hpur had never had a place in the unhappy husband's breast, now occupied full sway, and, indeed, every fresh elucidation only tended to strengthen it, TIT most valuable of her trinkets were also missing; her writing cipsk had been completely ransacked, and every paper burnt and it was then stated by the nurse maid that her mistress bad cried a go o d d e eal,:f u o nst r g t e he last tw o or three days, when caressing hr yo infant. Two friends of the clergymen, from information TheY privately obtained, proceeded in a post-chaise on the road to and they soon learned that the object of their inquiries, accoMpanir4 by a gentleman, bad passed about al; houra berm tllegi, travelling at raid rate. further• pursuit was not considered necessary, aim the ill gitives continued their flight uninterruptedly.

Baron BuLow, the Prussian Minister, went on Saturday to pay his respects to the young QUEEN, to whom he WWI presented by the Mar q uis de BARBACENA. Her MAJESTY, owing to a cold, kept her apartMents yesterday. The inquiries after the health of her MAJESTY were very numerous throug,hok the day. Some of the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers, great numbers of foreigners of distinction, and many of the Nobility and Gentry, came personally to GAILLON'S Hotel to learn the state of her MAJESTY. The Russian and French Ambassadors had conference on Saturday with the Duke of WELLING TON andthe.Earl of ARERDYEN. The. Spanish (special) Minister had an inter view with the Earl of ABERDEEN on Saturday, at the officeof the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Lord Chief Commissioner of SCOTLAND visited the Duke of WELLINGTON at •the Treasury on Saturday. The Duke of WELLINGTON has left town for his seat at Strathfieldsaye. A Board of the Lords of the Admiralty was held on Friday, during the sitting of which Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON was introduced, and remained for a con siderable time with their Lordships. We have made the most diligent and anxious inquiries since Saturday in many quarters, in order to as certain the real state of his MAJESTY'S health ; but they have, we regret to add, all proved unsatisfactory, not as regards the character of our information, but the situation of his MAJESTY.. Everywhere the greatest concern is ex pressed, and rumours thicken hourly. Those who are of ficially in attendance on his MAJESTY speak favourably, but there are others who have equally authentic sources of information, and who make representations of a very dif ferent kind. His MAJESTY'S health is the * general topic of conversation ; and it is but reasonable, if the surmises which are current be unfounded, that the public should see them contradicted by authority.—Morning Journal. The Duke of SUSSEX arrived at Raby Castle on Monday last, on a visit to the Marquis of CLEVELAND. His Royal Highness is expected at Bt ancepeth on or about the 20th instant.--Durham Chronicle. The Mayor's (ROBERT TEBBOTT, Esq.) dinner last week at Windsor, was very numerously and fashionably attended ; among the guests were, Earls FIFE and MOUNTCHA RILES, Mr. WY ATTVILLF, the architect; the Provost of Eton, Dr. GOODA LL, and the Members for the Borough, JOHN RAMSBOTTONI, Dn., and Sir HUSSEY VIVIAN. At a late meeting of the Catholic Association Mr. SHELL contradicted the very general report that he had accepted 300 guineas for his professional services at the Clare Election; he did not, and would not, receive one penny.

MEETING.- The Provincial Meeting of the friends of Civil and Reli gious Liberty in Connaught, which takes place this day, w ill he, perhaps, the most numerously attended of any Meeting ever held in that Province. The Chair will be taken by JAMES LAMBERT, Esq., M.P. for the County. Mr. DOMINICK BROWNIj, of Alayo, and several other highly respectable Protestants will attend. It is not ex pected that there will be any angry politics. The resolu• tions are modelled on those passed at Clonmel, and it is understood that Mr. THOMAS MARTIN has cheerfully ac ceeded to the ph!dges, so that it is not likely that there will be any contest in the County Galway.—Dublin Even ing Post. KEAN arrived in town by the Glasgow mail, from his chateau in the Isle of Bute, on Wednesday, in better health than he has been for some time. At the end of the present season he intends to take another trip to Ame rica. KEAN played at Glasgow the character of Junius Brutus, in the tragedy called the Foll of Tarquin, for the benefit of his son, who acted with his father in the same play. The Northern critics say the effect they pro duced was " prodigiously great" The indefatigable Lessee of Drury-lane Thea tre, who seems " armed at all points" for the entertain ment of the public, has procured a copy of the Music of ROSSINI'S last New Opera, which he intends to produce as one of his early novelties, with the aid of BRAHAM, Miss &MIENS, and Mr. T. COOKE. The Bottle I m p, w hi c h h as pro d uce d so muc h grist to ARNOLD'S m ill, at the English Opera House, during the summer, is going to be acted at Covent•garden Theatre, under the superinteudance of the author, and with the especial permission of the Proprietor of the Lyceum. A number of theatrical amateurs, all persons of wealth, have, it is said, combined to purchase the Dub lin theatre, and to restore its original popularity by eagag jug, for different periods of the year, the best artists in the various departments of the drama that can Ise procured...— These gentlemen expect ample remuneration for the invest • ment of their capital, by the sale of the large unoccupied space which lies contiguous to the theatre, on building leases. BURY ST. EDMUND'S MUSICAL FESTIVAL. —This festival, the first which has been attempted in this place, commenced under very unfavourable auspices. In several families, from which great support was expected, there happened deaths and.other calamities, which not only prevented their attendance, but also the attendance of their distant friends. At the conclusion of the performances there appears to be a deficiency of about 1501, which, in all probability,- will be more than made up by donations. It is the general opinion of professional and unprofessional persons, that a more accurate .and splendid series of per formances have been seldom 'Nerd. CONSUMPTION. (From the London Medical Gazette, Oct. 11.) Nearly fifty years ago the newspapers and public journals abounded with advertisements, paragraphs, and letters, boldly asserting that a certain cure had been found for one of the most destructive diseases to which this nation iR subject—pulmonary consump tion. The names of persons of high rank in the peerage, those of men distinguished by literary and scientific pursuits, with a long enumeration of .ladies of rank, mothers of families, &c. were pub lished in attestation of the cures which were said to be performed by this remedy in their own families, and. among. their own friends. Some individuals did not scruple to assert, upon their solemn oaths, that they had laboured under true consumption, and had been cured by this infallible remedy ; and cases were detailed, describing with so much accuracy the symptoms of phthisis, viz. cough, quickness of pulse, spitting of blood, pain in the chest, emacia tion, night sweats, &c. as to deceive all the ordinary readers of newspapers. The evidence brought forward was indeed so convincing, that not a word was allowed to be spoken against it; and did it so happen that a physician ventured to express a doubt upon the subject—if he questioned the reality of the disease, or intimated a suspicion• that the patient was either a dupe or a knave, he was assailed with the epithets " self-interested," " illiberal," " pre judiced," &c.; or was charged with wilfully shut ting his eyes to the truth, or of attachment to antiquated notions, which would prompt him to let his patients die under the old regimen, rather than give them the advantage of new . remedies ; in short, he was looked upon as a hardened sinner, whose mind was incapable of being enlightened. Thus the fame - of this medicine seemed established as upon a rock : far and wide it was dispersed among multitudes, who really were, or who were supposed to be, consumptive; and the inventor soon accumulated vast riches. Meanwhile (as a reference to the bills of mortality will shew) con sumption continued its ravages unabated; nay, even , at the time when this wonderful medicine was at the height of its celebrity, when thOusands of bottles were yearly consumed, the annual average of deaths by consumption rather increased—a very convincing proof of the little actual value of the celebrated ve getable balsam. Is there now to be found a single individual who professes to believe that this medicine will cure consumption ? Subsequently several other empirics followed in the wake of this giant balsam ; and if the advertisers' assertions were to be credited, pulmonary consump tion, in its most aggravated form, was to be cured by their nostrums ; every symptom of the disease was to yield, one after another, to the all-powerful remedy ; and he who, to use the vulgar phraseology, was " coughing up his very lungs one month," was sure to have them completely regenerated before the end of the next. Unfortunately for the proprietors of these medicines, they had neither peers of the realm, nor members of parliament, nor philosophical and literary men, nor scientific ladies, to attest the efficacy of their medicines ; so that they soon fell into deserved oblivion, and the projectors were disap pointed of making fortunes. That medicines, invented by men ignorant of every principle of the art, should fail to cure consumption, ' cannot excite much surprise : but were these the only proposers of remedies for this disease ? Most .certainly not, Physicians of the highest character and attainments have entertained and held out to the world hopes of curing, by various remedies, this afflicting malady. Unfortunately their most san guine expectations have been disappointed. The broad line of distinction, however, between the honest physician and the Charlatan, has always been observed : the physician has published to the world the method he has been induced to adopt—the Char latan has always enveloped his proposed remedy in impenetrable darkness and secrecy. A new aspirant to tile honour of having discover ed a cure for phtbisis has lately appeared, and the consequence is, that many who are, or who are sup posed to be consumptive, have been placed under his care. Whether he be a mere pretender, or whe ther he be in possession of any means of curing thil complaint, time will discover ; one thing is certain, and it casts a most woful suspicion over the whole business—hefears the scrutinizing eye of inquiry— he dares ndt open his method to investigation. lAAPANOPC2I.IOI:.

The East and West India Trades have in the first three quarters of the present year been much more active than in the corresponding quarters of last year. The encrease in the imports of East India produce has been . most remarkable; of Indigo 30,950 chests have arrived, against 13,020 up to the same period last year. The increase in the import of East India Cotton has been 7,000 bales ; of Coffee, 13,000 bags ; of Mauritius Sugars, 112,000 bags; of Rice, 21,000 bags; of Raw Silks, 1,400 bales ; of Ginger, 4,400 bags, and of Cloves, 1,000 bags. The imports of Saltpetre are 7,000 bags less than last year ; of Pepper, 44,000 bags ; of Cinnamon, 7,300 bags ; and of Sugars (not Mauritius) 27,000 bags. Of West India Sugars, the importation this year has beers 138,847 hhds. and tres., being 20,000 hhds. more than arrived in the first three quarters of last year. The stock of Coffee is nearly equal ; of Rum, 28,272 puns. ; of Cotton, from 5,000 to 6,000 bales more than last year; West India Sugars are from 9s. to 10s. per cwt. lower than in last October, and Coffee the same ; Rum bears about the same value; East India Coffee, Rice, Saltpetre, Indigo, and Raw Silks are higher; while Spices generally are lower than at this period last year. There are rumours afloat in this city of serious disturbances, through military aggression, having taken place at Carrick - on-Suir on the evenings of Monday and Tuesday. We had a letter yesterday from an active and intelligent Magistrate of that neighbourhood, and which bears the post-mark of that town ; but our esteemed correspondent makes no allusion to any such unpleasant occurrences.—Leinster Journal.

The Secretary read the report, which afforded a very gratifying picture of the ad vantages which this Societ y has bestowed on the widows and orphans of sea officers, a class of individuals eminently deserving or national- sympathy and commiseration. The cases of several applicants for relief were disposed of, and the name of Sir BENJAMIN HALLOWELL added to the list of Vice-Presidents; after which the meeting adjourned. .The London smack, while steering her course, at eleven o'clock on the night of the 9th instant, was run down by the Soho steam-vessel, 180-horse power. The crew and some officers of the detachment cut the boat down and cleared the wreck. Captain MacxErtzlE, on going on deck, immediately silenced the confusion amongst the soldiers, and in.tiae most cool manner, after the lady passengers refused to go below until the boats should be along side, sent a serjeant and men to detain them inside the cabin. Notwithstan d i n g his b eing hurt by the tille r rud der, the great stabili t y of his c ommand, and the cries of women and children, he was cool, and went on board the steam-vessel and insisted on taking• the passengers and troops on board, detaining the mate on board the sinking, ship until his requisition was peremptorily obeyed.

From the uncertainty which at present prevails as to how many and what will start, there has not been any betting on either of the stakes. Green Mantle, however, if she runs, from having won the July Stakes, will no doubt be a favourite (she is in both stakes), and Will-o'• the-Wisp will also be a favourite, if he starts. The Lion has twice run a winner this year, and will no doubt be backed. The Oatlands is in the list for Wednesday, with 19 subscribers; the horses are to be named to-morrow; the weights fixed by half-past twelve on Tuesday, and the forfeits declared in half an hour after. If ten remain in, there will be two classes; and if fifteen,• a third class will he made ; it is expected that it will form two classes. The whip challenge and snatch for 200 am., between Lord Cleveland's 'Memnon and Colonel Wilson's Lamplighter, lOst. each, 8.C., is not expected to be run, as the Colo nel, we believe, will have the whip instead of his horse : we are induced to state the probability of there not being a race, from the report in June last, that Memnon was put out of training, and would net again appear in public, otherwise we should think that he would have a good chance against Lamplighter, being a year older, carrying the same weight, and over a ten mile course. Since the last London quotation, nothing of consequence has been done in the Derby or Oaks, for which the fa vourites occupy the same places in the odds as they did a week back. Some changes, however, may be looked for after the ensuing week's races. Of the races in the list for to-morrow, the most inte resting is the Garden Stakes, of.loo sous. each. T.M.M., for which the weights are fixed thus : Duke of Richmond's Alderman, 6 yrs, Bst. 10lb. Mr. Payne's Shakspeare, 5 yrs, Bst. 1016. Lord G. H. Cavendish's Rapid Rhone, 4 yrs, Bst. 61b. Lord Verulam's Brocard, 4 yrs, 7st. 131 b. Lord Sefton's Bobadilla, 3 yrs, 7st. 81b. Mr. Stonehewer's Kildare, 3 yrs, 7st. 81b. Mr. Pettit's Rough Robin, 3 yrs, 7st. 81b. Lord G. Cavendish's Ridicule f., 3 yrs, 6st. 111 b. Duke of Grafton's Nutmeg, 3 yrs, 6st. Mb. It will be seen by this that the young horses are very fa v ourably handicapped, and so think the betting men, who have Brocard first at 3 to 1, Bobadilla ball a point snore, and offer 4 and 5 to 1 agst any other. If the light weights are to have it, we should say that Bobadilla, from public running, ought to have the call of Brocard, for she proved at Ascot, where she beat ail the crack horses for the Cup, that with a favourable weight she could run two miles as well as the best of them. If either of the old horses wins, it must be from superior strength. - Besides this stakes, there will be three or four others ; a match for 200 sous. A.F., between Lord Southampton's Lepanto, Bst. 81h. and the Duke of Portland's brother to Emilius, Bst., creates some interest ; the former having run a good horse in the Craven Stakes, and an excellent second to Cadland for the 2,000 guineas stakes, in which he was beat by a head only ; the other won the Riddles worth, without beating any thing goad, and has since per formed very indifferently. Lepanto is of course the favourite, as nothing can give Emilius a chance but the allowance of 81b. ; there is also a match for 200 sovereigns each, over the T. M. M. course, between Mr. Forth's Grey Surrey, Bst. 31b., and Mr. Weatherley's Tokay, 9st. sib. ; neither of the horses is of any note, nor does the match excite the least interest. Mr. Pettit's Zoe pays 75, sovereigns in her match for 200 with Mr. Payne's Belzoni. For the one-third of a subscription of 25 sovereigns each, for three year-old colts, Bst. 91b., and fillies, Sst. 61b. A. F. (bona fide the property of subscribers), the follow ing horses were named at the King's stables yesterday morning : Colonel Wilson's gr. c. by Young Gohanna—Spotless Duke of Grafton's Turquoise Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Jersey, Lord Egremont, and Greville, did not name. Two or three fresh matches appear in the list ; one for Thursday, between Lord Tavistock's e. by Tiresias, out of Governess, and Earl Grosvenor's Daystar, by Phantom, out of Moonshine, both two-years old, Bst. 71b. each. T. Y. C: 50 sovereigns, h. ft. For Friday, 200 toes. each, between Mr. Payne's Oppidan and Lord Sefton's Bobadilla, carrying Bst. 71b. each. D. M. h. ft. The match for 200 sovereigns, between Mr. Payne's Belzoni and Mr. Pettit's Rough Robin, will not be run, the former receiving 75 sovereigns forfeit. Among others of the Nobility now here are the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, the Duke of Rutland, Earl and Countess of Sefton, and the Ladies Molyneux, &c. The weather is fine, the turf in good order, and there is every appearance of a busy meeting. HUNTING INTELLIGENCE.

STAG HUNTS. - --- - A beautiful Stag was turned off on Thursday, near Pen rith, a most numerous field, and, after a smart Chace of about 16 miles, was taken at.Phinapton Low-street. A grand Stag Hunt took place at the Engles Nest, Kil larney, on Wednesday se'nnight, in honour of Lord Nu gent's visit to,the Lakes.. It is said to have been the best witnessed for the season, which is now drawing to a close. --Cork Southern Reporter. Miss PHILLIPS, the young lady who has made so powerful an impression in - the character of -Claudia in Miss MyrFoan's tragedy of Rienzi, has been for two years under the private tuition of a female of great expe rience in acting. The Lessee of Drary-lane Theatre was determined to produce Miss Putuars on the London stage in an original character, to avoid all invidious comparisons , and give the youthful debutante " fair play." She acted a few nights during the Summer in the theatres ut Bristol and at Norwich. She will perform ,Juliet, after the run of N 144 AlurogLl'l tragedy. SPIRIT OF THE LONDON JOURNALS. The principal topic,p hap the n confession of THE er TIME i s.) Ministers and supplication for forgiveness, is, that " they have left undone arose , things which they ought to have done." But let not the public ima gine that the quantity of positive mischief is less, or its effects less destructive, because it springs from mere inaction. Ireland is kept in a state of agitation the most fearful that can be imagined, because Mi nisters, and particularly the chief of them, will nei• Cher do nor say any. thing to tranquilize that coun try. The Lord Lieutenant acts, indeed, and he acts wisely, up to the extent.of the Vice-Regal powers ; but still the agitators know that there. is an authority beyond his, to which. the_ country must, look for a permanent settlement : and ._if meanwhile a tempo rary tranquillity prevails, it is. owing to the people themselves, and. to the ex-official ex-constitutional rulers to whom they have devoted their fealty.— Thus, indeed, is Ireland governed ! she has taken herself out of the hands of the King and his )11inisters, and governs herself, ad interim, by a power of which the law knows nothing.— Next; with respect to foreign policy,—what do Mi nisters do ? Nothing. They have " given an opi nion," indeed, with respect to the operation of au illegal blockade upon the commercial interests of the country ; but was there ever an occasion before, when a belligerent would have interdicted more than 1,000 miles of coast to the mercantile marine of England, and expected submission from its Govern ment to the monstrous edict ? The hired defenders of Ministers—for they now can hardly be said to have any adherents from principle in the state — charge the country with wishing its Government to take part in the contests which are now carrying on in the Levant and in Portugal. T he very contrary, the absolute reverse of this, is the truth. The coun try wishes not to take, or at least not to bear and steer a part in the contests which are carrying on. Do we bear and suffer nothing in having our com merce with the whole of the Black Sea suspended, upon pretence of excluding provisions from a city which ►s' not besieged, and which a hostile force has not approached, and cannot approach, for months — perhaps for years to come ? We assert that in this contest we are made to bear a most onerous, afilic- tive, and disgraceful part ; and if the blockade be broken, it will probably be by our naval officers upon the station themselves, who like the victor at Na varin, have not yet learned to lower their courage to the level of the pusillanimous councils at home. Again, do we bear or suffer no part in the distress ing contests in Portugal, where our fellow-subjects are imprisoned without cause, and sent to mock trials ; and from whence they are expelled by un just decrees, being obliged to leave behind them the establishments which they had formed, and the pro perty which they bad accumulated on the faith of ages of unbroken friendship with that State ? Is this taking or bearing no part in the Portuguese contest ? Let the people of England speak for themselves on the subject. Are they not conven-. ing meetings throughout the country " to implore" —(we copy the words of one of their resolutions) — to implore immediate protection for the persons and property of British residents in the kingdom of Por tugal ?" Was there ever a time - known before, when the people at home and the officers abroad were thus obliged, as it were, to take the Govern ment out of the hands of the King's Ministers, and prescribe a policy, and adopt measures for hem selves ? It is said that the Duke of Wellington is not a statesman. He said so himself in 1827, and was then taken at his word. The truth of his con fession we now feel most sensibly, and do verily be lieve that he does nothing, for no other reason than because, as not being a statesman, he does not know what to dO : he holds but little communication with his colleagues, and under his system of inaction , this is natural, for what has he to communicate ? Or what have they, as a body, to talk about ? Nothing. Ireland is in com motion ! " Well ; what , then ?—Nothing." The Dardanelles are blockaded. " What then ?—No thing !" British subjects are treated as enemies in Portugal. Oporto is converted into a second Ver dun ! Mighty well ! What' are we Ministers to do on this occasion ?—Nothing!" The deliberation ends as soon as the fact is stated. But the Parlia vnent must meet ; we suspect not till after Christ- . mas : but yet it must meet. What will the Duke of Wellington say then ?—Nothing! he is no talker! But Ireland may be then in flames I And then— aye, then—he can draw the sword, of which if he had but sliewn one inch from the scabbard to the Rus sians, and to that animal, Don Miguel, the naviga tion of the Levant would have been free as that of the Atlantic, and our commercial relations with Por tugal as flourishing as before the French troops first entered the Peninsula in 1808. His Grace but seldom goes to Windsor, and then, we are assured, only when he is forced. But why should lie go thither ? The events of the world and the occur rences at home, his Maiesty will best learn from the public papers, and his Ministers have nothing to do with them ; they take no steps upon them ; they bring them about by no antecedent measures. Their "opinions" of the probable result of those events, and their effects upon the subjects of these realms, are theoretic, like " opinions" on the tides or the orbit of a comet : they do not sway the movements. (FROM THE SIORNING CHRONICLE.) The Liverpool Mercury, of Friday last, has the following statement : " We have just conversed with a very intelligent and experienced gentleman, who has recently returned from France, and who fully confirms what we previously suspect ed, both from the tone of the foreign Journals and the proba bility of the existence of such sentiments. Nothing he as sures us, is more dreaded in France, than the possibility that the British Government will concede Catholic Emancipa tion; and the late symptoms of approaching conciliation are viewed by them with apprehension exactly proportion ate to the advantages which we should derive from the cor dial cooperation of millions of British subjects, who are now disaffected, and who would, indeed, lack gall to make oppression bitter,' were they not rebels at heart.' We have before us a most e xtraordinary work, lately pub lished in Paris; and, what is as singular as it is signifi cant, printed in English, for the purpose, most probably, of being circulated in England and Ireland. No British publisher, we presume, would venture to reprint it in this country; nor is it our intention to say snore of its nature and tendency, at present, than that it treats of the very tick lish point of Irish independence, assuming, naturally enough, a disposition for separation on the part of the Irish. We hope Mr. Peel and his fellow-Ministers will procure a copy of this work, which may serve to enlighten the mental darkness in which, unhappily for Great Britain, they have been so long enveloped. The arguments of rea son and justice have long been tried upon them to no pur pose ; that the argument of fear may be more efficacious, we have a right to presume, from the fact that no boon, as it is called, was ever obtained by Ireland, except when some danger menaced England." Perhaps the work alluded to by our Liverpool contemporary is the publication of Colonel Roche • Fernley ; of which some account was given in the letter from Paris in the Chronicle of Saturday last. t 'W h v e e I h r a i s v i e l C m a o t r h e o t l l i t c a s n o d r e ice n o e t x pressed i s , s , c e d se t i b i t e (oat; thatl,e idea of separating themselves from Englandi B d how long they may be of this wind ' the ep e a n on the course pursued by Government .h 'n ands that the crisis.

But allowing that he over ' estimates the ease with which the separation can be . e ffected, and allowing also, for the sake of argument, ar e unable to that England co u ld always crush the Catholics, the persuasion that we are vulnerable in that quarter I must be of the utmost prejudice to Its in our foreign f relations. The Prince de I _ague says he never knew a coward die a natural death, for th e persuas ion of his passiveness leads every one to take liberties with him, and, in the end, he is forced to turn on his as sailants. It is not our opinion that England is unable to take the field against any Power in Eu rope ; but if it be generally believed on the Con tinent that we are not able, this very circumstance must lead Foreign Governments to- venture on liber ties with ours which cannot be passed over. There can be no 'question, therefore, that the persnasion of our inability to make war must greatly increase the chances of our being forced into a. :war: Now, circumstanced as this country is, with a debt which presses with an almost insupportable weight °n us, a war may be necessary, but- can never. be welcome. Taxation has - -its limits ; conse. -d-debts-cannot be augmented ad iqfini -1 um. But this ought always tO be borne in mind, that the pe o pl e of this country will • never suffer the Nationaland all other Creditor the - t p .o ro b p e erty sufferer will,erer and f tl i iat beoiTt to - suffer as much: as. the;Annitities. , The Aristo cracy must n?t. flatter • themselVes that, in case of u land exigency, their estates shall not be taken into ac cotint. These consideration s , no doubt, force then - s. selves on Ministers, as they must do on all men ca pable of the least reflection. But the curse of This country is, that we have a Mob G„veriinitit. The House of Lords rules the State,-and the opinions of the House of Lords must necessarily be the opinions on which Ministers act. When we consider the composition of that House, we we are not with out apprehension lest the time for advantageous ar rangement be suffered to pass by. . The Members of the House of Commons will often be among the be.t of their order, and possess some qualities calculated to conciliate the favour of the electors ; but a betedi tary assembly includes the proportion of imbeciles tot dotards, which will always. be found iu any given number of men, and the circumstance in which this particular assembly is placed tend strangely, to Oak• those to whom nature has given, a fair share. of brains in an inability to use them. It is well observed by a contemporary (the Examiner), that " ignorance and vulgar prejudices are to be found in all orders, and too frequently in the very highest, where the exereise of.the understanding is almost or quite as rare a , ; iu -the- lowest, for the Noble whose ease excludes the stimulus to the mind is pretty nearly in a parallel in intellectual sloth to,tbe potter of Scripture, who bendeth his mind down to his work,' or to the husbandman whose talk is of bullocks,' and who lacks .the wisdom coming of opportunities of leisure'. . . :The House of Lords, therefore, we should be disposed to describe as one of the vulgarest assemblies in the land, not vulgar in its clothes,-its equipages, its manners, Ste., but ,vulgar in that which is of. main relation to its business, namely, its understanding. At an ale-house penny-club the members will be worse. dressed, they wilt sit • in a mean -chamber, and smoke and spit, and perhaps,. if --the-. Sunday .Schoolmaster has failed in his - duty,- -display as much ignorance and- prejudice Lords. The grain of the men's minds is essentially -the same; and the rest are but lacquered over with the,.world's- advantages." We had written thus. far whea we received the Paris Papers -- of Friday, in cite- of which, the Courier Francais,* there -is. an article en a project said to be-now -entertaitted French .Ministers for making, the titleof certain -Tigers descend to col lateral relations,,the Peerage at present going only to direct descendants., The French Journalist ob serves, " Ministers ought. to consider4hat the mak ing the Peerage hereditary has rdreadydepristed the Crown of much influence, : It only through the vacancies of seats that it can regain . that influence, by communicating this great favour to the new fa milies, which time and. circumstances bring on the stage of the world.

If with- the moderate foitnnes of the french Peers, and their superior industry as from that circumstance, it he, notwithstanding, found that in the interval which has elapsed sinee I 14 dullness and imbecility have made great way in the Chamber, what must the amount of stupidity and imbecility be in a certain other Assembly ! With all the pains taken to conceal the nakedness of the land, by the creation of able Commoners, who, with one or two exceptions - , monopolise the debates, still our Hereditary House forms a strange- spectacle. But this body, so fesrfidly and wonderfully made, rules our destinies. IVell it is for. us - that we are protected by oar insular situation, and can afford to commit greater blunders than any other State. (FRO)I Tlls MORNING vosr.) While the enemies of England, both at home and abroad, are using every, endeavour to under-rate her character, and exhibit what 'they are pleased to call her weakness, we . have the more grateful duty of directing 'attention to the state of the Revenue, which we.had the - happiness of exhibi t i ng in our paper of Saturday. This it is that interests the public—this it is which can best answer. the slander ous calumnies of the discontented or disloyal—thi, it is which proves to the Powers of Europe whether the pacific policy of the Duke of Wellington lia-: been caused by tiny other motive, or influenced 1w any other means, than a.sinceee desire of reserviw the general happiness and. repose of Erlr i >p e .

It must be truly gratifying, in the present state of Europe, to know, that our resources are so extensive ; and the next source of gratifica tion is, that we haVe not a -Quixotic Government, hnnting after unnecessary and wanton Projects, or amusing the world with threats of letting loose the " furies" o f eve ry state to prophane the altar and upset the throne. That such n onsense could have been uttered by a Statesman is remarkable; but that it could have found advocates and admirers i, beyond the limit of common sense to believe. The fashion of that day, however, is now fast falling into desuetude; a better taste is daily gaining ground, and we indulge the hope that its progress will be rapid and decisive.
