We .have I ad 4 great deal more rain with vy wind.

The wet made it begin to grow from the car. %' yesterday :26. per quarter in the London and the supply w2,s seaiity. It will rise we fear, next market day, and bread will .11)w the same course. The rational hopes of .1! public a week ago were poor and stunted, but .v they are completely blighted and at an end. "The very heavens," says the No.t-Confurmist, town upon Toryism, rebuke its presumption, A threaten to crush its power." But our State 7'. nrch preachers, who sec a miraculous interpo 'kun of Providence when some frail sinner who (Is forth to enjoy himself on the Sabbath • ~e ts with a misfortune, will see nothing tructive to Tory statesmen, whom the ,arch is bound to enlighten and restrain, _ this unseasonable weather. The landlords Al regard it as a matter of course, and never however palpable is the national distress, . e,oujunetion with the Corn-laws 'and with a i serLion, that the latter may be influenced by it enactment. Though they call themselves religious, they will learn nothing from the . a vens speakin to them in wind and rain; say that wet and windy summers are the order of nature, and that the season would boen equally bad, whether Corn-laws had . I,;;ted or not. Nay, they will go further, and : I se the Anti-Corn-law party for taking advan •T of all unfavourable season to excite a pre- ce a gainst them. Yet, if we are not mi.- i t may be shown, without supposing the Of miracles to be revived, or that the land :,„s are -worthy of a special interposition of 'avidence to save them, that the evils of the et season are caused by their law, and ought -be looked on by them, if they had a - just of all-pervading power, as a warn - lug continuing their lnjus Lice. r).lle certain consequence of that law is to li m i t , ar'vopulation very nearly to the resourcee of our eountry, and the certain consequences of .I(:Aviog free scope to the energies of mankind, Ic A lidbe a great increase of popula tion. Not urge that this increase of population might Aii&, as clearing away the forests of America f!i, some influence over our climate, and being the order of nature, may be required to cor . e.'g or compensate some peculiar state of the sphere, which those who control popula ek:nnot control,—it is quite certain that the • rea.'e of the people would tend to *tend the . _ :nand for meat, and as corn can be het r imparted from a distance than cattle, ie - proportion of pasture lands and green .)ps, relative to white crops, would be .creased. In that case the people would depend, o tar as our wet climate were concerned, more .An at present on green food for cattle than on heat, and a wet season, instead of making us -ead starvation, would fill us with joy front sup ying an abundance of food for our cattle. The ople, drawing the large portion of their sup .dies of meat from our own island, owing to the leculiar nature of cattle, and the adaptation of :r climate to rearing and fattening them, and jo king, more than at present, to other less humid imates for their bread stuffs, they would not lid, as at present, a wet season to Lea source of 1;c verty and sorrow. 'Without supposing 'any deviation from the :der of nature, it appears to us that, according ) its regular and ordained course, a cold 'wet :aeon like the present, destroying the harvest making it late and scanty, may be said to ad 'l,nnish the landlords of the evils they are cuis:n-. ...ley would have terrors foronr people, they princivally to England for meat, and were ley sure of obtaining a large portion of their ''),'end stuffs from an earlier and a warmer cli -..nate. We will not say, strange as it may seem, aula, the Corn-laws may not cause a wet season, . - >r-lv,e know not that some connection may not :Kist between climate and population ; but we will . latt the Corn-law turns a wet season, which be a blessin7, Lao a cup , e. That a law i l i c h arrests the progress of population may s , vie influence over eli:nate, is not harder k to believe than that the 7.. of +' ea.:th from the attraction of ths ibn.Av her course in the heavens. We fear, however, that neither the voice of philosophy nor of science will avail with our rent-owners, for they have already re sisted the more urgent and powerful demands of humanity and justice. Supposing it proved that the landlords are responsible for any evil caused by a wet season and a late harvest, their respon sibility will not extend beyond what at present rests on them. They are accused of causing po verty, crime, and death, and a heavier catalogue of offences cannot be thund. At the Guildhall yesterday, no less than four individuals were brought before Mr. Alderman KELLY, who committed offences for the mere purpose of gaining the temporary shelter of 'a station-house, and the chance of a crust of bread. Crime, therefore, is better off in England than •poverty. To be entitled to pro tection, shelter, and food, a man must be a criminal. Such a fact, though there were only one in a year, instead of crowding upon us four in a day, would be an unerring indication that our legislation requires revision. The process of debasement and degradation seems to be this : scarcity of employment and scarcity of food, as they are felt in class after class, make one class press down on the other, and squeeze out the lowest to utter destitu tion. Amongst the humble classes there is a great deal of charity; they help each other; hut when all find it difficult to live, they are obliged to deny succour to the most distressed, who are driven to commit offences that they may drag out their miserable existence a few days or weeks longer. We are much afraid that the misery which thus forces itself into public notice bears only a very small proportion to that which hides itself and perishes in obscurity. We are much afraid, too, that reckless despair in stead of blithe and careful hope is becom ing, from continual disappointment, the prevalent disposition of our people; and that those who deny them bread and a fair field for their exertions, will have to answer, not only far starving many put of existence, but for the moral debasement of all. Ours is a curious system. On the one hand we call for schools and education, and stimulate the mind of the people to unwonted activity; on the- other we enact laws to restrain en terprise, to bind down genius, and prevent those who have been trained to exertion from finding a reasonable mode of exercising their talents. If the present system of hemming in enterprise by la;vs be continued, it will be cruel to continue, at the same time, • the system of training the mind of youth to activity. If men are not to have free trade, and free scope for their activity, the whole political system should be adapted to that, and all mental activity should be nipped, not foqered, in children. At present we train them to be emulous and ambitious; compc. , tizion at school prepares them for compe tition in life, and, when they are ripe for exer tio;', find themselves walled in by restric tions, and unable to move. They cannot get bread by honest labour, and they steal or break the public lamps, as the least offence they can be guilty of; to ensure them a week's lodging in a gaol. We anticipated in our Afternoon Edition of yeseerday all tliv important news in the Paris journals of Tues&y, Private letters from that capital state that the. ex-Regent, Queen CHRIS- T:NA, is actively at work intriguing to effect the downfal of EsPAItTERO. Her MAJESTY meets with ail the sympathy she can desire from K nz• Louis PHILIPPE, and from that section of the French Legitimists whose polar star is the Pme.e. In the Spanish army CnaisaaNa has many influential partizans, some of • the priests arc willing to declare fbr her now that the cause of Don CARLOS is utterly hope less,.and in such an assembly as the Cortes it is to be supposed that there are many members ' liable to be dazzled by the smiles of Royalty, seduced by titles, and purchased by gold. CII RISTINA is rich, persuasive, and unscrupulous. Though her administration, while Regent, was decidedly liberal, the instruments by whose means only she could hope to be restored, would oblige her to pursue a retrograde policy. Her tools now are the Legitimists and the Carlists, and were another revolution to place her once more at the top of the wheel,. they would become her masters. England, there fore, has a deep interest in this question. As well might we have declared for Don CARLOS after the death of the Royal embroiderer of Vir gin petticoats, FERDINAND, of infamous memory, as to countenance in any way the claims of CHRISTINA to be restored to • the Re gency. So Liberal France there is no use appealing. The national vanity is too much flattered by the prospect of re-establishing the Court relations arising out of the old BOURBON finally compact, for us to expect any assistance in; that quarter. In the meantime these in trigues are fatal to the development of the re sources of the Spanish nation, and deeply inju rious to the Regency. Instead of extending com mercial alliances, fostering trade, encouraging agricultural industry, and promoting popular education, the Spanish Government has enough to do in providing for its own safety. • The great difficulty in contending against the intrigues of CHRISTINA in Spain is found in the want of men of commanding intellect in the ranks of the Liberals. No man has arisen on the Li beral side in Spain since the commencement of the civil war adequate to the direction of the Na tional Councils. There have been an abundance of smart, clever men, of limited capacities, but not one man of genius either in the field or in the Cabinet. The only men who at all soared above the herd of common-place respectability of talent, were ZUMA LAC:ARIL - BO UY and CABRERA, both on the Carlist side, and both feared and dis trusted by the sanguinary tyrant whom they served. ESPA RTERO is a man of industry, per severance, and considerable rigour, but as yet he has proved himself nothing more. His in tentions,ticaland however, are honest ; his views, poli oaonenninceereial, liberal and enlarged, and the perm of the power which he now sways is essential to the maintenance of consti tutional liberty in Spain. Let us hope, there fore, that the British aban don him now in his hour of trial.

The Moniteur publishes a royal ordonnance, pre ceded by a report from the Minis ter of Public Instruction, directing that catalogues shall be made out in all the public libraries of Fran ce (those on and of pre- Paris ex cepted), with a view either to their cl assification servation in their present localities, or to their transfer to other libraries, under circumstances to be determined between the Minister of Public Instruction and the local :iiithorities. The expenses of these operations are to be • paid by G uvernment. Tin: following distressing occurrence took place lately at Ecox Chanties, a watering place in the Hasse Pyrenees. A gentleman and his wife were taking a walk in the environs, and came to a chasm between two rocks. The lady dared her husband to leap over it. Being a better judge of distances and of his own powers he at first declined, but, piqued by her reproaching biln with cowardice, he made the spring, and fell into the space between. When taken up, it was found that his back was broken, and in a few hours afterwards he expired. The Intendant of the Civil List has given large orders to the Gobelins' manufactory for various new arti cles for the Royal Palacts, the church of St. .Germain. i rAuxerroip, and the Bishop of Algiers.

Beauvallet, of the Theatre Francais, was amus ing himself with his children, two days ago, in making and igniting trains of gunpowder. Through some inad vertency the fire caught a powder-flask in his right hand and caused it to burst, injuring the hand to such an ex tent, that it is feared that amputation will be necessary. The Bureaux de Bienfasance of the twelve Arron dissements of Paris have given orders for woollen gar ments for 80,000 indigent persons, to be distributed dur ing the ensuing winter. The Journal du Havre mentions, as a proof of the distressed state of the colonial sugar trade, that a vessel has just come into that port from Guadeloupe in ballast, not having been able to obtain any freight in sugar, the prices here being such as would have caused a loss to the growers. The Angers papers mention that after a review of the troops and National Guards at Laval, in the Maine et Loire, on the 29th ult., an officer of the line entered a cafe where there were several young men belonging to the National Guard. A dispute arose between the officer and an artilleryman of the National Guard, which became so aggravated that they went out into the street and fought with their sabres by the light of the illumina tions. Before they could be parted the officer had re ceived a wound in the arm, and another on the shoulder, which are severe though not dangerous. Two French Protestant Missionaries, as we learn from the Lyons Papers, have been arrested in the de partment of the Ain, for selling a lithographic engraving connected with their mission, which had not been sub mitted to the censorship. The Correctional Tribunal of Belley has condemned them each to 100 f. fine, and a month's imprisonment, being the niinimuin of the penalty decreed by the laws of September for that offence. - " Colonel Carmichael Smith," says the Augsburg Gazette, " passed through Frankfort from Malta a few days since. Whilst there lie distributed several copies of a pamphlet, demonstrating the necessity of founding an independent Christian state in Palestine, under the protection of the European powers. He had expressed a desire to distribute this pamphlet in Italy, but autho rity to do so was refused." KIRCHBERG.—NEWS or THE ROYAL FAMILY.—We e. the Gazette de France) have before us a letter from kirehherg, of the 28th of July. The news given yester day by the Frankfurt Gazette have no truth in them. Henry of France was in very good health. Queen Marie Therese had suffered severely from an attack of rheu matic: gout, which, however, had completely left her on the 28th.---Gazette de France. We have received letters from Constantinople of the 22d July. They state that the health of the Sultan is feeble, but that he is not suffering under any organic disease. We have received this morning the Toulouse Jour nals of the 7th. The Emancipation says, "We were mistaken when we said that our Attorney-General is in concert with the Extraordinary Commissioner intended to imprison Messrs. Arzac, Roaldes, and Gase, for the Moniteur Porisien, received this morning, announces that the thing is done, which proves that notice had been sent to the Moniteur that.it would take place." The arrest of the provisional municipality has not appeared to the Parquet so regular and simple an act that it might decide on it. Messrs. Arzac, Roaldes, and Gase are still at liberty.—Le Constitutionnel. Lieutenant-General d'Hautpoul, who is appointed Inspector-General of the infantry of the army of Africa, arrived at Algiero. on the 31st of July.—Le Commerce. The Austrian Observer gives news from Constanti nople of the 21st of July. There is nothing particularly interesting in them. On the 19th M. Christides, resi dent Minister of his Majesty- the King of Greece, who has been appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs, took leave of the Porte, and presented M.

PARIS, VITYIDNESDAY.—Le Journal des Debuts praise: the last London Protocol, which, it asserts, was unwil lingly consented to by England and Russia, but signed with a good grace by Austria, France, and Prussia, as putting a final termination to any power being allowed to preponderate in the concerns of the Turkish empire. Toulouse remained quiet, but the excitement in the public mind continued, and arrests were daily taking place. The accident which happened to the Duke de Bor deaux, by a fall from his horse, is confirmed. The young prince has had his thigh broken. The last bul letin of the 4th mentions, however, that his Royal High ness is doing well, and that no serious results will ensue. The Quctidienne quotes a letter from Kirchberg, at the 4th instant, announcing that the fracture of the Duke of Bordeaux had been reduced, that no fever had ensued, and that the Noble patient was doing so well that the Duchess of Berri, his mother, was preparing to return to Gratz. The Temps states, that the King and Royal family in tended to honour with their presence the fetes at Bou logne, for inaugurating the column of the grand army. Marshal Soult was to leave Paris on Thursday to kin the Court at Eu, and accompany their Majesties to Bou logne. According to the Siecle it had been debated in the Council of Ministers whether the whole of the French fleet should be ordered to resume its station at Vourla, but the idea was .abandoned ,in order to avoid exciting the susceptibility of Great Britain, and depressing the Stock market. The Un:cers asserts that the Minister of Justice, so far from having directed the Royal Court of Angers to commence a prosecution against M. Ladre Roldin for his speech to the electors of Mans, had written to re quest that tribunal to take no steps against him. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Constan tinople of the 22d ult., stating that the Sultan was very weak, but not suffering from any organic disease as had been reported. He had not appeared in public for a long time. He frequently went out, but always- in a state barge ; and on Fridays he visited only the mosques situ ated along the banks of the Bosphorus, Accounts from Berne, contained in the Debuts, state that the canton of Tessin was a prey to the vengeful acts and violent extortions of the political party then at the head of affairs, and called for the interference of the Federal Diet. The canton of Soleuro was likewise in a disturbed state. _ . . Le Siecle intimates that the Spanish Government might be brought to cede Minorca to France for a round sum, since it consents to sell Fernando Po to England for a mere trifle. According to Le Commerce, the opinion of some on the Bourso at Paris is that Queen Christina may possibly regain her footing in Spain. PARIS BOURSE.—Five per Cents. 116 f. 55c.; Three per Cents. 77f. sc; Spanish, 201. SPAIN. Letters from Madrid of the 4th inform us that the young Queen is much dissatisfied with the changes made around her by Arguelles—that Espartero was continually threatened, in anonymous letters,—that the Government was somewhat in alarm, but depended on the approaching festivities of the Ist of September, for bringing about a re-action in its favour. El Cas tellano of the 4th gives, however, the report that at the Puerto del Sol, it was said the garrison was getting under arms. The General commanding in the Basque provinces had apprised Government that he could not answer for the troops under his orders. The answer of the Spanish Regency had arrived ; it is made up of generalities, stating that the will of the Cortes is more imperative than the will of Fer dinand VII. _ _ Our private accounts from Madrid of the 4th inst. state, that the Regent had refused General Leon leave to repair to Paris on leave of absence. The troops stationed in the Basque provinces had been lately tampered with, and were becoming very disaffected. All the noblemen of the Queen's bedchamber bad resigned their functions. A panic still prevailed on the Bourse in consequence of the late failures. The Five per Cents. were done between 22i and 23 for cash, and 24i at 60 days. The Madrid Gazette of, the sth publishes the docree_for the reorganization of the army, which is hereafter to con• sist of 28 regiments of infantry, 15 of cavalry, and 50 bat talions of provincial militia. The Body Guards are sup pressed, with the exception only of:,200 halberdiers, and the Royal Guard is reduced to two regiments of infantry and two of cavalry. MANCHESTER CONFERENCE.—We have al ready given expression to our belief tharthe main object to be sought by the Conference is to produce a deep and wide-spread moral impression in favour of the repeal of the Corn-laws. It can hardly be necessary to suggest that the prevailing spirit and tone which shall pervade the meeting will greatly affect the ultimate result. Vague declamation, however fervid—bitter denuncia tions of aristocratic selfishness, however richly deserved —will not tell upon the public with half the effect of facts aptly brought out, reasonings fairly and fear lessly pursued, and conclusions calmly but unshrink ingly stated. The foes, both of cheap bread and un shackled religion, are anticipating with malignant plea sure, a violent effusion of ecclesiastical, or rather, cleri cal acrimony. We do not say we hope, but we are con • fidently persuaded, that both parties will find themselves thoroughly disappointed. Scarcely inferior in import ance will be a rigid exclusion of party politics. Any thing like an attempt to ring changes upon the patriotism ()flier Majesty's present Ministers, if it did not provoke irrelevant discussion—which most probably it would, would create suspicion that the whole movement is no thing more than an underhand trick of the Whigs to re tain or to regain office. The matter must be discussed without reference to parties L-quite irrespectively of, the men who ha ve a d vocate d e i t h er t h e one s id e or th e other. It is not in itself a question of party politics, and those who have attempted to make it so have done the cause infinitely more harm than good.-IVon-Conformist. Tna WEATHER.—The weather maintains a variable character, and much rain fell during the past week. On Thursday last it rzsitied, Friday and Saturday %rere fine, but early on Sunday heavy showers fell. Yes terday we had showers anti sunshine alternately.

The Debats of Wednesday affirms that it was accepted with a far better grace by France, Austria, and Prussia than by either England or Russia. In fact, the two latter Powers are hinted to have bolted it with as wry faces as we would make in swallowing a dose of the,Peel elixir. We doubt the truth of this, but such a rumour will make the treaty doubly popular in France. Arrests continue to take place in Toulouse. The city, however, was reported in Paris on Wednesday to be quiet. Of what use are these arrests ? What does the French Government propose to do with the disaffected ? Ciapitally punish them it cannot, and for men whom oppression has rendered so reckless, a few days of confinement has no terrors. Mrs. Glass's rule, "First catch your hare," is generally a good one, but a Cabinet cook might sometimes profit ably ask, " What can I do with it when caught ?" 'rhe report that the young Duke of Bordeaux broke his thigh by a fall from his horse, is con firmed, notwithstanding the contradiction of the Gazette de France, which we give in another column. Great political discontent prevails in several of the Swiss cantons. The little Queen of Spain, acting, no doubt, under the secret instructions of her Royal mother, gives all the annoyance in her power to her guar dian and the Regent. She sheds tears, pretends illness, and will only be pacified by causing poor old Arguelles to be summoned at all hours of the night to attend upon her. Maladies such es affect Queen Isabella arc best cured by the application of arch. It was a King who taught that he who spared the rod spoiled the child. It was reported in Paris on_Whlnesday, that the Royal Family of France would be present at the fetes at Boulogne. 3E , 1133 LI C OPXNXON. The Morning Post, alluding to Sir Robert Peel's dif ficulties, says—" Supposing that Sir Robert Peel be made Minister, is it not something hard that he should have to contend not only with the difficulties which belong to the time, but also with the financial deficiencies of one, two, and three years ago, which the Ministers of those periods ought to have remedied, but which they wholly neglected ?" It was a much harder task for the Whigs, when they came into office in 1830, to contend with the difficulties which the Tories had left them, by way of legacies. The country was then all but in a state of insurrection ; Swing blazed by night, and Revolt stalked abroad by day ; and so great was the popular ferment, that the Tories were actually afraid to allow the King to dine with the Lord Mayor at Guildhall ! If Sir Robert Peel have difficulties, they are in a great degree of his own seeking ; but when Earl Grey took office in 1820, he had no choice between that and revolution. It is sheer cant, therefore, in the Post to whine about the Right lion. Baronet's difficulties. The Morning Advertiser thus remarks on Sir R.Peel's studied silence :—" Were Sir Robert Peel to announce the leading measures he has in contemplation for re !icving the commerce of the country from its present state of utter paralyzation, the inevitable effects of that announcement would be, assuming the measures to be and good, to _restore public confidence, and to give a consequent mighty impetus to trade and commerce— even before the measures themselves had received the sanction of the Legislature." Had the Right Hon. Baronet really any serviceable measures in contemplation, he would not so long withhold them from the country. Men are not usually tardy in communicating good news : it is only when they have bad news to communicate, that they delay the intel:igence to the latest moment. The Chronicle says :—" Most newspaper readers remember the memorable announcement of the Times— ' The Whigs are out. The Queen has done it all.' Our Contemporary has made another revelation not less startling—' Peel is in. The Church has done it all.' The new Parliament is not the Parliament of the landlords, but the Parliament of the Church. The ministers of religion it is who have returned the majo rity by whom the people are to be starved. 'The Con ,ervatives may depend upon it,' says the Times, that the confidence of the Church is the real secret of their power, and that the re-action by which they have been borne buck to ascendancy has been essentially ha work.' We never doubted the agency of the Church in ressisting to swell the monopolist majority, but we hardly expected this bold avowal of it. The Established Church of this country has no popularity to throw away ; and though the political zeal of the clergy is often fully as conspicuous as their piety, and sometimes gets the better, of their prudence, yet it would argue an utter absence of the latter quality if we could suppose that th 3 avowal originated with them." That the advocates of the starving system should be lifted into office on the broad, square shoulders of Mo ther Church is no more than might have been expected; but the avaricious old dame will expect handsome wages for her labour, and the Tories can only honour her de, mands in full by setting at defiance all the best interests of the country. The Times insists that it is imperatively necessary for the. Tories to rule Ireland with a high hand, observ ing, " the Government which shall do its duty to Ireland will not have to subdue a nation, but only to• repress a faction." We presume this is a sort of feeler, put forth to prepare the sister-country for aaother Tory Coercion Bill. The Herald is singularly diffuse on the subject of what Sir Robert Peel will not do, when he creeps into Downing-street ; but says not a word on the sub ject of what he will do. He will not, it seems, slander women—depend On a cabal—or affront the pecuniary sensibilities of Mother Church ; but we do not learn that he will promote Reform—loose the shackles of commerce—or extend the suffrage. Even his warmest and most enlightened adherents do not hint that he will do any thing of this. 'They merely under take to answer for his negative qualities. —.The Cheltenham Examiner, writing on the subject of the Speakership, says :—" We are within about a week of the meeting of Parliament, and the only point on which the State Physician has hitherto allowed the nature of his prescriptions to transpire, is in the election of Speaker. It seems that on this great point the treatment is to be of a soothing and anti irritating nature—the constitution is affected with febrile symptoms—the aspect is flushed—the pulse strong and excited—and Sir Robert Peel, good physician as he is, puts his cane to his mouth, and recommends the soothing system. So far, so good.; we are sure we have no fault to find with such a course. But what will the loafers of his own party say, at thus loosing one of the snuggest gifts, and most certain iniatory steps to a Peerage, which the Minister has to bestow ? We may judge of their feelings as expressed though their organs." The Dublin Evening Post observes, in allusion to the remedial projects of the Tories: The The remedies for the present distress are various. Tbe Duke of Dick ingham and Sir Robert Peel are all for the Sliding Scale—Mr. Walter and the Times for the Repeal of the New Poor-law Act—Mr. Bennett, of Wilt shire, • for converting the Manchester manu facturers into hale field labourers—the Standard would burn the manufactuiing towns 7 the little Lairds of Scotland, and some of the great Lords, too, would ship off the population at the public expense, as if the public had any money to spare—while that conceited, Germanised person, Carlyle, coolly recommends a whole sale murder of the Innocents." rfLONET-TILADZ-COIVIIVIZACX. The consumption of sheep in the Welsh iron-works is less by 2,000 per week than it was twelve months ago, owing to the resolution of the men not to give more than 41d. per lb. The vineyards near Bordeaux yield yearly a mil lion of hogsheads of wine, of which 100,000 are con verted into brandy. LAW AND•POLICZ. The Learned Commissioner of the Bankruptcy Courthas delivered his decision in the important case of the Vauxhall Gardens. The dispute arose out of certain trade and tenants' fixtures, claimed on the one hand by the mortgagees (Mr. Reynal and others) as pass• ing to them under the mortgage; and on the other hand by the bankrupts' assignees, as part of the possessions of the bankrupts (Messrs. Gye and Hughes)in their power and disposition at the time of bank ruptcy. Commissioner llolroyd considered that though the articles in question were of a nature to be held. movable as between landlord and tomtit, yet they passed to Mr. Reyna' and others by virtue or the deed under which they had been decreed equitable mortgagees of the Vauxhall Gardens, and he thought no distinction could be made between these articles, which were affixed be fore, and those which were affixed after the mortgage. The mortgagee was entitled to the security of the pro perty in its altered state, by t4ie appeptiop pf TriczaTxuc.a.x..

The Marquis of Abercorn is making a tour of the Lakes of Killarney. —On Monday evening a grand Entertainment was given by Mr. L. and Lady Jane Peel, at their residence in Kemp-town, Brighton, in celebration of the christen ing of their infant daughter. MISCELLANEOUS. The friends of Reform met in Rotherham on Friday last, for the purpose of forming a "Parliamentary Reform Association." Rules were adopted, and a Committee appointed. A meeting of Reformers w•as held on Tuesday last, at the Royal Exchange, Dublin, to consider the most suitable testimonial they could present to Lord Mor peth, in gratitude for his services to their country. The Irish Repeal Association, as we find by the published Report of their Committee, have come to these, among other resolutions:—" Never to support any Mi nistry that does not leave the question of Repeal an open one to the Irish people," and " never to support any Mi nistry but one that avows further Reform, and disavows Finality." The Welsh coal-fields extend over 1,200 square miles, with 23 beds of workable coal, at an average thickness of 95 feet. Each acre will yield about 100,000 tons, being at the rate of 65,000,000 tons per mile. Al lowing largely for waste, these would supply England with coal for 2,000 years after all the English mines were exhausted. Ghosts, it seems, are coming into fashion again. On Friday night last, two servant-maids at Cambridge were horror-struck by a phantom—" a thing of head and legs," as they described it—coolly walking at midnight into the nursery, where they were seated, and making " several strange and mysterious noises." They rushed out immediately, assistance was called in, but it had va nished, leaving behind " a curious odour." We doubt the genuineness of a phantom that walks into the private apartments of servant-maids at midnight. Flesh and blood, we suspect, had more to do with the matter than spirit, unless indeed it were the spirit of wine ! " We esteemed it our duty," says the Cambridge Advertiser," to send a reporter to the Newmarket Tory Dinner ; but the speeches were so surprisingly stupid, that we spare our readers the infliction." Our Contem porary deserves the lasting gratitude of the political world, for this kind consideration for their feelings. We cannot, however, account for his being surprised at the stupidity of a Tory dinner speech. We should have been surprised had it been otherwise than stupid. - Yesterday morning a labourer in the West India Dock was bit through his breeches by a centipede. A Morning Paper says—" It is not a little singular that in London men who become ruined and are penni less, immediately commence money-lenders to any ...mount." This is new to us, for we had always till now imagined that such men' were rather money-borrowers. A meeting within the few last days took place at Liverpool, to promote the formation of a railway to Edinburgh. The principal promoters of this measure are the Liverpool and Manchester Railway and the Grand Junction Railway Companies. • The question of Church-rates was violently agitated on Thursday week, at Cheltenham. A poll AN a 3 de manded, when a majority of 157 was obtained against the rate. At a Tory dinner given on Wednesday .at Reading, the Rev. S. W. Yates congratulated the com pany on "the noble stand which the Church had made against the Government plan of national education?' It is certainly a noble boast for the Church to' make, that she has resisted with all her might the diffusion of knowledge, and done her utmost to continue the people in a state of besotted ignorance ! A Church like this is admirably qualified to be the mainstay of a Tory Go vernment. They are an amiable pair, and worthy of each other! ILT.: 'YOUM.:3 TY: E 7, n.a-sr. We understand that Sir Robert Peel is nearly wor ried to death by the clamours and importunities of his hungry Tory subalterns, and bids fair, like Actmon, to be torn to pieces by his own hounds. We hear it rumoured that Sir Francis Burdett is at Drayton Manor, fishing for a Peerage. It is whispered at the Clubs that Mr. John Wilson Crokcr has offered his services to Sir R. Peel ; and that he is not particular about what place he takes, provided the salary be handsome and well secured. TORY FEARS AND TORY PLANS. " The work goes bravely on." Some of the Ultra- Orange faction, who are looking forward to the restora tion of the Tories to power, as yielding them a fair chance of placing their iron heel on the " sur pliced ruffians " of the Times, cannot make out what business the Duke of Wellington had at the Whig Duke of Bedford's. These men, not being very well versed in the Peerage, and unaware that by the marriage of some of his family, his Grace is dis tantly connected with the noble house of Russell, attri bute the visit entirely to political motives, and, with the recollection of 1829 before them, are bawling at the top of their voices, " No surrender." This and the recent meeting of the Protestant Asso ciation which is understood to express the sentiments of a considerable body of the Tories towards Ireland, af fords a tolerably fair clue to what will be the Lyndhurst- Stanley policy, in conducting the Governpaent of " the gem of the ocean." If there is any truth in the rumour that, under pretext of settling the Boundary Question, one of the first acts of the Tories will be putting twenty more sail of the line in commission, John Bull, between this and the necessary measure of doubling the army in Ireland, will have a nice reckoning to pay at the end of 1842. TESTIMONIAL TO J.BELLA MY, ESQ., CLERK OF ASSIZE OF THE OXFORD CIRCUIT.—On Friday evening last, a numerous and respectable body of Solici tors and other gentlemen connected with the Oxford Circuit, presented to J. Bellamy, Esq., their highly and deservedly respected Clerk of Assize, a testi monial of their regard and esteem for his professional and private character. The testimonial consisted, of a splendid silver salver, two smaller ones, a pair of elegant candelabra, and a pair of dishes. On the largest salver was the following inscription, "To John Bel lamy, Esq., Clerk of Assize of the Oxford Circuit, in tes timony of sincere respect for his professional and private character, and as a mark of personal esteem contracted and confirmed during a period of lengthened intercourse, this salver (with two smaller ones, a pair of candelabra, and a pair of dishes) is presented by his professional and other friends to perpetuate their sense of the promp titude, urbanity, integrity, and learning displayed by him in the discharge of the onerous, important, and ar duous duties of his office for nearly 30 years. August 6, 1841." The duties of the presentation were ably per formed by Thomas Davis, Esq., of Gloucester, solicitor. THE BAREBONES PARLIAMENT.—,(FIOM a Correspondent.)—ln one of the Morning', Tory ;Journals the Conference of ' Ministers at Manchester, in order to endeavour to procure a repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, is designated a "Barebone" gathering. That designation may with great propriety be applied to their opponents, who admit the bare-bones (for manure) at a mere nominal duty, whilst they prohibit their im portation with the flesh upon them. Should the present Parliament resolve to continue these unjust lawslit may, with the greatest correctness, be denominated a second Barebones Parliament. _ The population of Edinburgh was, 'according to the Edinburgh Advertiser, 136,054 ; it is now, according to the recent census, 138,194, showing an apparent in crease in the ten years of 2,140. But at the same period the population of the Castle was not' included, and, deducting its present amount; 1,022, the real in crease of the Edinburgh population in ten years is only 1,118. SINGULAR SAGACITY OF A BIRD.—On Sa turday last, as three mowers were engaged cutting hay on the farm of Heap, in the neighbourhood• of Hawick, one or their scythes came in contact with that rarely seen bird the Landrail, or Corn-trail:, and cut off a part of one of its wings, and a small portion of the scalp, but the skull was uninjured. The men looked for a little at the rare bird thus mutilated, and then set it free in its natural haunt— "'Mang fields of flowing clover gay," and thought no more of it. Next morning, however, as a cottager and his wife, who live at the end of the field, were sitting at breakfast, they were agreeably surprised by the entrance of the maimed emigrant into the cottage. It walked deliberately into the middle of the floor, and latterly retired below the bed. It now occasionally ven tures out, and seems fond of flies and small reptiles and even at times accepts of a few crumbs of bread. It is going on well, and appears quite contented with the do mestic station it has chosen for itself, being probably aware that it cannot this season wing its annual way— " Frae our cauld shore." Should it outlive the winter, it will pc,Thaps be the first of the species ever domtatipated, and will readily receive it:; liberty co its tribe arrives in spring.—Kelso For weeks past during the gloomy weather, many persons have complained of difficulty in their re spiration and of being otherwise °Meted. Medical men of experience attribute the cause to the want ofa due portion of oxygen gas in the atmosphere, and the air bot being properly rarified, occasioned by the absence of sunshine fur many days.

RAILROADS IN IRELAND.--A majority of the Grand Jury of the County of Kerry have signed a petition in favour of the Government plan of railroads for Ireland, E N- NrG S 1 , , N. cz.T-,-IF,P l '"'"-_' (.1:077 -- 7 (1 1 7.7.1: P i A.7. 7 1 The action was brought for the balanco of the amount of costs upon an action which the plaintiff had defended for the defendant, and the defendant pleaded the general issue. The expenses arose from a mistake having occurred in the pleadings to the firmer action, fraud and covin being the necessary plea, and it was argued that this mistake arose from the negligence and ignorance of the defendant's attorney. It was also attempted to be proved that a Mr. Smith had given instruction for the com mencement of the action,as he had introduced the defendant to the plaintiff, the action having been brought by a loan society, and the debt having been incurred for the benefit of Mr. Smith. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF summed up the evidence, and said that it was not absolutely necessary in law that an attorney should know what special pleas should be placed on the record, as it was customary to go to a special pleader, and therefore he could not see how an answer could be made to this action that the principal costs of the form e r action arose from the ignorance of the attorney engaged. The bill of costs had been delivered in full arid sufficient time to have it taxed, if the defendant had thought proper. Verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 51. Os. 6d. INSOLVENT-COURT,-THIS DAY.
