LONDON jolllCr4;A'hfi.- ...45/1.114Y Extracts from tlZe, 4 ll9rAing P(Ters ) Dec. 3. . • [MORNI*I POSII We received last night, by express, French papers ,to . the Ist lust. and: the Etoile .of Wednes .day.... The latter contains'intelligence ..from-Ma. ,drill to the . Mit ult. It appears that consider.) able parties eCgtierillas have already shewn.them.) selves in various, parts, of Qtstille, - and he 'doubt 'is entertained of,their :uniting and forming strong corps as soon as the Army of Occupation shalt . have been withdrawn. At la Guardia and its' .neighbouritood,b baud of 80 armed horsemen had' levied contributiens, seized theturates. in every village within their reach, and, according to some. put them to death. This Band is said to be commanded by the former Pond .- cal Chief of Burgos, a- young man only twenty eight years of age. At La Puebla, within two' miles of Vittoria, the 'Royal Volunteers were called to arms on the 20th,inst..in . consequence of 'the appearance of thirty well equipped indivi duals who had also raised. contributions .iu .the Vicinity, and who retired to the mountains when they found theMselves threatened by a.snperier 'force. It was believed however that .they .be. 'longed to a larger corps, and the intelligence 611- the town of Vittoria itself with alarm. What increased the apprehensions of the friends to the present , system, w as, the, abundant supplies.of arms Which the Cuerillas reeeiyed, without its being ,knoorn whence they proceeded. Three mules had I“en seized near Miranda, laden with muskets, but AS 'their conductor had effected his escape, no light bad been thrown on the quarter from which they came,. It was hoped, hovever, that .this capture would lead to some important discovery, but discovery in one, part ot,,the country would only force the authors of the supply to change the channel through which they transmit ammuni tions and arms, without putting an end to the practice. Meanwhile the measures of the Go vernment.continue to he,calcnlated to exasperate instead of conciliating; During the existence of the constitutioe , a great, portion of the ,baro ren • lends :or commous which exist in, Spaitt s . under the name of IJaldios, had been distributed to veteran soldiers, or .sold to individuals, by whom they had. been cultivated ,and,,brought to a productive' state. An 'Ordinance has lately been issued,. commanding; cultivation to cease, and the.land to be suffered to returtitoits former condition. It i 8 the first time, and we tfotibt not will be the last, that a goveipment, calling itself civilized, ha's . adopted; Or will adopt measures so contrary tn'the principle of civiliza tion and to the interest and welfare or the people over whom it rules. The Madrid Papers of the' ‘2sth ultimo announce that nineCOnStitutionalisid had been executed at Corunn'n foe crime•s'illeged to have been committed in July 1843, that is to say, at a period which Was . covered by the am. nest)', imperfect as it was, which was granted a few months since,. • [THE TIM ES.] ft appears, from a paragraph contained in the the Ist instant, that soma executions have taken place at Corunna, on account of Po- Rica! offences. Nine men suffered for what may be called the Constitutional cause. The crime imputed to them was ; the.. condemnation, of 51 persons attached to the Despotism and Inquisition. AVe blame violence in either side ; exeopt when men are-opposed to.each other in the field ; hut we are not convinced of the truth of the charge alleged against the nine persons. w ho have recently . suffered on such authority as that of their enemies, One 'of the sufferers, high-'tnimided shoemaker, gallantly ::sung the Trogo/o, the song of his party, at the foot of- the : gallows. The other French papers of Tuesday, with the exception of tfin . lroni.tenr,• are chiefly filled with, literary criticism_ or political: speculation. That • paper contains the outline of an iniportant decree, creating a change in the Roman .code. of legal procedure, issued. by his Holiness on the mini-. VOPSaI'Y of his coronation. 'lt is rather singular that timid the presentabluirrence of change which the Holy Alliance . has inspired into persons - ,in power the Pope should start forth, as a reformer, thougl:t,ertainiy no stale of Europe, with the ex ception, perhaps, of Spain, stood more in need ,of reforMation than time dominions blessed With the preseimce of the Holy Father. His Holiness.may' have done as much as he personally could to attain time eStablishment 'of a hetter, system of judicial administration ; ,but that reform cannot he expect ed to he vet'y radical which uas adopted on the suggespotm of time Remnan lalyers, who profit by existing abuses, and is destined to maintain, in all its vigour, the secular obvier of the priesthood. EBRlTlifi IrRESS.) During Wednesda :t y sad yeaterday the rumours were,curren I the Ci ty, that dispatches had been reciiiited ; at the India House, overland from Cal cutla UllO though no one i could.give anypccu ratesciount of t heir contents, the general ifnpreS MOO Ives, .that they were unfavourable, 'and in consequence, of this impreasipis nAreat manr.sa les of gast:_Jpgiiii . .stock have taken place during these twe'ditys, at a depreciation of about tsiervo per cent.

Nor is it at all like-. ly that the Mithi•atiaiand Phida'rries,when they see us fully employed in the east,will remain peaceable. spectators in the west and, north. At this mo ment we cannot 'help thinking that the .factious of . the liouSe. would fed: their, .propeity, much safer, were the. distinguished Nobleman, whom they have treated with suc h ingratitude an, neglect, once ,more at. the, head of their. affairs `; And that if instead of attempting to cast obloquy on the name of a man who has done'mnre for thern than any Governor-General (not even excepting the Marquis Wellesley) ever did before, had they henotired him.. in his retirement, and fiestow,e'd upon him, in the shape Of an acknowledgment, one half of the sum they have expended 'in printing the ioluminous docu ment, to . impeach his., acknowledged integrity, ihey would have acted more. wisely as well as more justly. As it is, we may say with Guile /anus's. . , . Ye have made 'fine work of it." [Tim rttitmc The extracts, which We give from the Madras Papers, that have•reached uito the 17th of July, will not dispel the unpleasant sensations which previous airrivals.from India had created in the public mind. If they record no new cause of alarm, they mention .nothing calculated to allay the apprehensions previously existing. It- is stated, it is true, that the Bormese had evacuated Ramoo, .where our troops, it will he recol lected, suffered so severe a loss. - This statement is given on the authority of letters from Chittagong, which are ,dated on the 20th of April ; but letters of the 22d froM the same place do not mention the circumstance ; and others, dated.the 23d, are equally silent.— In all these letters some anxiety is expressed on account of • sonic. Europeans who had been seen in the enemy's.,carnp. With respect to their number, the accounts are cont r adict o ry ; but n o t a word is said to .shew, to what nation . they be long. It is the uncertainty which prevailed on this last point, th*at had evidetitlY imparted to the Matter so much'consequence,; lint, whatever sus. picion may haie suggested to our countrymen in India, it is probable that thole Fiaropeaws were the hostages token away from' Rangoon. EMORNINp HERAL6.3 An affair recently ,bronght..before a Magistrate in the Pity, and which is still pending, has called the public attention in an especial 'winner to the scandalous and detrimental practic e of . entering into' compromises with thi e v e s and robbers, for . "the restoration of their booty. A traffic of this kind proOeily belongs to au uncivilized and law less state of -society---a n d in such a state, is not quite to pernicious as in a moresettiesl cotrirnu. ;Illy,' The. first onestion is, where .the source of this monstrous abuse lies ?----some have said, in the law. Be how can this be, when there exists a sta tute specifying the very offence With. great arcu racy ? It must then be in those administrators 9f the law who are morolmniediately paid to protect the lives .and properties of the citizens—in other words„ with the police. FroM the general purity and propriety with. which the. pelice.of.the.:Me tropolis conduct themselves, they'should not be rashly condeinned,-,or even suspeCted.,.,They be sides received, i t ighternmendation from the Par liamentary Police Committee. The present case is one, however, which seemStocail fora revision of the Metropoliteta 3 olice Itepore. The frequent declarations of wretches capitally condemned for Bank forgeries, ,afford a strong presuMption that the police ollicers .could, if they pleased, easily bring greater criminals to judgrDottt,, ; Any, one who bus attended at the Old Bailey must frequently have heard wretches tried for utter ing forged, notes, retaliating upon: the Court and Jury by accusing poliCeMen of sparing. richer fe lons, still deeper guilty of,t he crime of forgery. Tlt4 mere , puppet is br o u g ht t o justice, and the 'director behind the curtain let live, as the Beg gar's Opera says, " another session - or two."

Parliament, shewing the sums levied in •it •by :the Grand Jury . , Preientinents, and the manner In which they have , been ex , pended. The _Representatives of the Country would then ,be pnssessed of authentic informa, tion, and might ; use • their influence in pre, venting qppressive., exaction or improvident expenditure. The diminution of the gross amount of this species of, taxation, and the ju dicious application of all that . was levied,.. would' afford some relief to the oppressed tenantry. But' when the taxation is to be re-modelled, and the• attention of a Parliament, which enjoys more of the confidence of the country than its prede cessors have done for many y ears p as t, i s d rawn • • to the affairs of Ireland, it becomes requisite to . notice every source from which oppressive esac, Lion may arise. The very excellent evidence.given . by ,Mr..,Spring Rice, in.this. Report, exemplifies. completely the evils of the present townland 50- tern.. ,The, Returns and Evidence•shew the ex , cessive inequality of the townlands, that in some places no townlands exist, that their boundaries are sometimes unknoWn, and that a reparation of the cess among the individuals in the townlands must follow, even if: the towulands were all accurately surveyed and. valued. The new measure will then, if completely successful, as far as it is at present contemplated, only rernedy a part of the existing evils for a very short period. When the valuation .is effected, each townland would' pay what it ought to do ; .and when the first improvement takes place, a new inequality will arise. The reparation of the tax among the indi. viduals in each townland is, according to Mr. Rice's evidence,-the greatest source of oppres sion, and this is to remain untouched: At least it does not appear that a survey and valuation of a whole townland can prevent the Barony Col. lector from making any hon es t, industriousinha bitant of it responsible for his . improvid e nt neigh bour, and thus effecting his ruin. [NEW TIMES.] The Meeting of the Equitable Society to which we yesterday adverted was held at the time,ap pointed, and was one of the largest ever assem bled on a similar occasion. The state of the concern appeared to be fully as favourable as we had been led to believe ; and, indeed, exhi bited a proud monument of the effect of British judgment, economy, prudence, and moderation. The actually realised Assets in Stock and . Money amounted in value to the immense sum of ,nearly Ten. Millions Sterling.! To this are to be added the Premiums on existing Assurances (being above 106,0001. in the last Quarter), whieh, before the whole of the Poli cies can become claims, must accumulate to many Millions more. An erroneous idea prevails with some persons that the Ignitable ,Society has dis. continued the effecting of Assurances. This is not tie case. The Society does not appear indeed to wish its Assurances to be very rapidly augmented, but seventy-five ne w A s . surances were effected in the course of the last quarter, and the premiums upon them amounted to between 6 and 7,000/.---It will be se en that we were right in supposing that °Wee- s existed against b y, the proposed pl an o f divid ing the p no actual mo ne y payment .— rofit Other modes, h o wever, hav e b een suggeste d for the same purpose ; and among thoie the one re ducing the p rem i ums on t h e exist which appeared- , to be most, f avoura bl y rece i ve d proportio n t o • their antiquity. I n i w n a g s p t o h l a rc t ie o s f fact, those parties who have been long insured have paid _a much larger sum in the .premiums than would have been necessary to cover the fair risks . of their original claims. The cele brated 1)r. Price, on whose calculations the Society originally proceeded, entertained 'an erroneous notion that our population was de creasing, and therefore provided for a much more rapid succession of claims than has . ,actually taken place. It is also to be observed, that in his calculations he only assumed the money to be improved at three per cent, whereas during the chief part of the time it has been improved at five per cent. Upon the whole, some distribu tion of part of the profits will undoubtedly be made ; but the mode of doing it is referred, in the first instance, to the deliberation of the Di rectors. POACIIERS.—At Coisey, neat Norwich, on the morning of Sunday week, Lord Stafford's gamekeeper, Robert Thurtell, being on guard with one of the regular watch, named John Woods, between three and .four o'clock, heard the re port of fire-arms, and soon afterwards met, two poachers near the bridgain the park. On the keeper. approaching one .of, the wen for the purpose of apprehending him, the fellow struck him a violent ,blow on the head with a.gurr.--. A severe. scuffle then ensued between Thurtell and the poacher, who literally broke his gun, at the second blow, on : Thurtell's head ; the latter, however, rushed- upon his antagonist, and they fell together. Whilst they thus were both struggling on the ground for the mastery, the poacher contrived to tegain possession of the butt-end. of. his broken gun, and with• ilinflicted several more dreadful contusions on Thurtell's who, feeling faint with the loss of blood, relinguished his hold of the poacher. On getting up, the gamekeeper per ceiied his .antagonist running •ftway, and. was pursuing when Itroods, Itta assistant, who had during thin Interval been occupied in taking 'and securing the second poacher, called out to . Thurtell to come back and .hbld him. Thurtell's late antagonist, on, hearing this, quickly returned by a circuitous route,, and going up to Woods, dealt him else several terrible -blows with the sammunlerous weapon (alio butt-end) on the back of his • head. This enabled. the other . rioacher -to free himself from Wood's grasp; and , both the offending pottiest tit+. camped, leaving the game•keeper aud. the WALChui , an lying on the ground. . During the conflict, tho joeOple at the.:Park beds alarmed by Thurtell's cries for help, rose from the ir Farm, and proceeded towards :the spot;' but old not arrive there in time to ,be efany further service than that, of conveying.the twO Attoret#4 to the 10dg,.: for Ahem surgical ; ~.Thitrtell; when filitrice,'vi t ie in and.o!naining Shaking condition the 1)),n titan butt rOeivgdAi%.or adieu twain" the chin, eheek, forehead, a nd tog of the head; ,c he flop of the temples was very much 'ilneerited, and face and clothes covered with 100,1.

At eleven o'clock the RECORDER took the Chair, and the . Actuary read the minutes of the last.COurt. • The RECORDER then informed the meeting, that the Di. rectors had prepared a report, which, with , the permission of ihe Court; would be now read for the information of the Members. • _ _ Mr.,Busu WAN rose amid loud cries of " Order !" and having said‘that it was upon the point of order he meant to speak, silence was obtained. He then explained, that agile intended to with draw the notice of motion which he had given, and which had, he believed, led to the assemblage of such an unexam pled attendance of members, he submitted whether there was any necessity of hearing.the report read as a preliminary part of their proceedings, when it was known that other gentlemen meant to give notices of motion, calcUlated to bring the whole state of the Society on affinity occasion under the consideration of the I members. He unwillingly withdrew the notice of motion which he had himself given, becauie lie was advised that the objector it could not, consistent with the by-laws or the Society, be legally, carried into effect. There were, they all knew, three classes of assurances effected by the Society : one class insured in the year 1016, and alive in the year 1020, had become enti tled to a great addition upon their policies; a second class, who were insured subsequently, had certain contingent additions; and there was a third class who insured after 1820, that might 'be involved in something like a breach of faith, if the contem plated arrangement were, under existing circumstances, pressed upon them. Under the legal operation of these circumstances, he begged leave to withdraw the motion of which he had given notice, and to leave the matter in other hands. Mr. SWEET said,.that.he had a notice of motion to make which he requested leave shortly to explain. His desire was, . that the attention of the Court of Directors should be called to certain specific points, for the purpose of the better elucidation of the a ff airs of the ompany, in the event of any new arrange ment being deemed eligible. He wished, in fact, to arm the Court of Directors with the additional weight of the authority of the.mernbers at large, for, the purpose of giving more effect to whatever consideration the former were called upon to devote to any, specific- object. The intention of his motion was simply this T that it should be referred to the Court of Direc tors to consider and report, whether it would be advisable to cease to effect assurances upon the footing of their, exist ing system ; and whether it would be advisable to revise and open a new system for the new members who may be acquired, without prejudice to the present Members, and having regard in their pecuniary arrangements to the existing price of the pub ' lie funds. In giving notice of this motion, he should refrain from pronouncing any opinion which was likely to lead to • pre mature discussion, all he desired being to have the attention of the Directors brought to the specific consideration of a new ar ran A very long discussion then arose upon the point of form, whether this notice of motion should be inserted on the minutes, and published and advertised in the circulars sent to Members. &Vera' Gentlemen from the country observed, that being out of the limits of the twopenny post, they were left without notice of the Special Meetings of the Society, in which they were so interested, and they desired that they should be furnished with.letters, the postage of which they would themselves p a y, apprising them of special meetings. To this it was replied, that a great hurden would be .imposed upon. the office, if 4,000 additional letters, which would be the number required, were to be constantly sent to country members;. it was, however, hinted, that any individuals who desired notice might have it by leaving their names with the clerks. Mr. SWEET'S notice of motion was then entered on the mi nutes, and an' Extraordinary General Court was ordered to be summoned for its consideration this day fortnight.. It was then proposed that, for the purpose of securing the efficacy of the intended Motion, by the requisite confirMation the business of one General Court by another, there should be convened another Extraordinary General Court on the 23d of December next. This led to some discussion, and the notice for convening the Court on the 23d of December, was abandoned, on the ivotmtl that they could not, as at present advised, anticipate the deci. sion , at the Court to,be. held . this day formight ; and that when . that was known, and not .before, it, would be time enough to call for the confirmation of another Court. • • • These matters being disposed of, the RECORDER said, that it was for the Meeting to consider whether the report prepared by the Directors shotild.be then read. This led, to , much fur. filet , discussion,.btit . the report was ultimately postponed until the next Meeting, it being said, that us- the report was founded upon the intention of a Member to make a motion, ,which he had afterwards withdrawn, it was premature, as matters stood, to consider of it. Mr. SLADE gave notice of a motion for the next court day, to render valid two policies of insurance assigned over by two individuals who had gone to Smerica, without giving the requi site notice, upon the payment by the holders of the additional premium, and satisfaction being given that they took immediate steps for doing so upon being , apprised of the departure or the parties. The Court adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock. OLD LIAILNY, DEG. 2.

IS, gives a distressing account of the late terrible inundations in that quarter and some other places on the Continent :-- 66 During the last 100 years," says our corre spondent, " the city of Hamburgh has only four times experienced such dreadful flooding!) as those that occurred on the 3d and 15th•instant. The last great flood was in 1792, when the depth of the water was 20 feet 6 inches. On Monday last it was 19 feet 3 inches. In several of the streets both waggons and boats were employed in removing persons and property. Though se veral accidents happened, nothing truly Serious took place. The . alarm, however, wa s very great. The neighbouring Islands of,Willitto• burg, Neukof, &c. appeared to the eye to be wholly under water, except the mere roofs of the houses. A great deal of property has bee n de stroyed, but we do not hear of the loss 'of any lives. Persons 85 years of age say they do not recollect such a terrible rushing forw ard of the waters at these Islands as took place the re on the 15th. • • " The accounts from Holstein are also of the most distressing description. The dykes of the Eyder were broken down by the force of the waters, arid the river Stoer overllowed its em bankments.
