LITE ATURE. THE NABOB AT HOME. 3 Vols. Colburn, London, 1842. There are one or two stirring incidents in this tale, and among the most striking, we may men tion the shipwreck of the homeward-bound East Indiaman, Snowdon, which gets among breakers in the Bay of Bengal, during a thick fog. The whole of this scene is described with great vigour and minuteness; indeed so minute is the descrip thin, that it seems to be less an effort of fancy, than a literal transcript from reality. The tale, on the whole, is clever, and the various pictures of life in India are touched off with spirit. The chief personage -is a Scotch Highlander, who, having made a fortune in the East, returns in the autumn of life to his native land ; his cha racter throughout is drawn with feeling and dis crimination. COMIC ALMANAC FOR 1843. Tilt and Bogue, London, 1843. The Comic Almanac makes its appearance—as if out of a considerate regard to its readers—just at the fitting season, when the fogs and frosts, and rains of November announce the immediate advent of winter. A hearty laugh is now a social luxury infinitely to be coveted ; even a grin is not to be despised ; and the volume before us will supply both these desiderata in abundance. Seat yourself in fancy beside us, gentle reader, at a bright, cozy fire-side—let the warm, flowing curtains be close drawn, and• the lamp newly trimtned—let a sparkling decanter embellish the table, by way of fron tispiece, while an uncorked, well-crusted black bottle stands, stiff as a sentinel, in the remote distance, un derneath the side-board—and thus snugly located, reader, let us laugh together at the ' droll fancies of George Cruikshank, as they exhibit themselves in every page of the present Annual, or rather Perennial. Pray, observe, in particular, the quizzical illustrations of the "Cold Water Cure!" Did you ever in all your life see anything more laughable than the face and figure of the old fool who is sitting, in the depth of winter, up to his knees in an ice-pail ? He fancies himself uncommonly comfortable, but you can see by the rough goose-skin creeping over his legs, that he is within an ace of becoming a petrifaction. Close beside him is a fellow who is lying in bed with a big lump of ice in his night-cap, while a German doctor is deluging the sheets with the contents of two watering-pots, by way of keeping up a healthy and refreshing mois ture in the invalid's system! Next, observe tho credulous youngster who is stretched, full-length, with his mouth wide open, right under the water-butt, because he has been told that cold water —the colder the better—drawn fresh and frisky from the butt, is an infallible remedy for the tooth-ache ! Distrust seems struggling with faith in his countenance—and well it may, for we can see by the convulsive movement of his hands that he has ju.tt got such a twinge as would set him roaring out like a bull of Bashan, if his mouth were not full of the cooling element. " Oh, Law !" is a truly touching illustration. The age has become moral, virtuous, and peaceable, and the lawyers, in consequence, are all ruined. The Courts of Queen's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer are advertised to be let or sold ; and of the three Chief Judges, one is selling apples at a fruit-stall, a second has turned street-sweeper, and is plying disconsolately at Charing-cross with his broom in his hand, and the third is hawking pies about Westminster. Such a set of scamps as they look We wonder how the police can have left them at large, for not one of the three but appears fully capable of petty larceny to say the least of it. " Distraining for Rent" repre sents a party of legal functionaries attempting to force their way into a house, to the infinite disgust and annoyance of the establishment, who are attacking them with all sorts of weapons. The cook heads the charge, armed with a gridiron, which she' has just let fall on the unprotected sconce of a thick-set sheriff's officer, while the scullion brings up the rear, flourish ing a frying-pan above her head, destined, we fear, ere long, to floor one or more of the advancing foes. This plate is in Cruikshank's most grotesque style, but, indeed, his genius appears to signal advantage throughout the Comic Almanack, which is this year better than it has yet been. POPULAR HISTOR Y OF BRITISH INDIA. Madden, London, 1842. Those readers who are desirous of obtainin. , an insight, however slight, into the history of our East Indian possessions, will find much to answer their purpose in this unassuming volume, which, without going deep into its subject, con veys useful information in a very agreeable man ner. As a school-book, for which indeed it seems chiefly intended, we think it very likely to be come a lasting favourite; for it skims the surface of oriental history with great ease and dexterity, and is penned in a clear, fluent, and concise style. The only fault we find with it is, that it gasses too slightly and cursorily over Clive's ex ploits in India, which, as they laid the founda tion of all our present power in that hemisphere, should have been dwelt on somewhat more in detail. FEROCIOUS STABBING NEAR ELLESMERE, SHROPSHIRE. (Abridged from the Shrewsbury News.) A most barbarous and cowardly assault was per petrated in the neighbourhood of Ellesmere on the evening of - Wednesday last, by which two human lives were nearly sacrificed, and for which the mis creant is now awaiting his trial in our county gaol, The circumstances as far as we have been able to ascertain, are as follow : On the evening in question, the prisoner, whose name is Edward Williams, and who was a sawyer, and resided at Penley, near Ellesmere, and a party of countrymen, among whom were the two sufferers, Thomas Judson and Thomas Mason (both labouring men), went to witness the performances of Van Amburgh, who had pitched his tent in that town. On their return home a quarrel took place between the prisoner and Mason, in which the former made use of violent imprecations, but no blows were struck. Judson, who was a friend of the prisoner, seeing him so much excited, endeavoured to persuade him to go home peaceably, but he turned suddenly round, and with a clasp knife stabbed his friend in the lower part of the abdomen in so dreadful a manner, that the bowels protruded from the wound. The prisoner, undismayed by his first attack, in stantaneously inflicted two other stabs on the breast of his victim, near the heart, the last of which would undoubtedly have proved fatal, had not the knife struck against one of his ribs. The prisoner then inflicted a wound s about four. inchea long and half an inch deep, at the back of the neck, and another severe wound from the crown of the head to the forehead, where the knife glanced against the bone. The hands of Judson were also dreadfully lacerated in endea vouring to parry the murderous thrusts which were made at him by the prisoner. Shortly after Judson had fallen to the ground, the prisoner started on his way home, and v. as followed by Thomas Mason, who told him he was no man for stabbing the wounded man in the cowardly manner he had done, and for having made use of the knife at all in a quarrel. The prisoner, without making any reply, turned round, and stabbed :Mason in the stomach. ,Mason ' the moment he found himself stabbed, knocked the prisoner into a ditch, but he ' jumped up immediately afterwards, and ran away; and while doing so was observed to throw something away. The place was searched, and a knife was found at a short distance from the spot where Mason was stabbed. The knife is a clasp one, very sharp, and the blade was much bent, supposed to be from striking against the ribs of Judson. The cut in Mason's thigh has divided the scrotum, and was within an inch of the femoral artery. The wounded man, Judson, was conveyed to the house of Mr. Moseley, surgeon, who considered his life to be in imminent danger, C. K. Mainwaring, the nearest Magistrate, attended, and took down the depo sitions of the woundedj man. Williams was captured in Ellesmere the following morning. He was taken the same day before C. K. Mainwaring, Esq., and fully committed to take his trial at our. next Assizes, on two distinct charges of stabbing with intent to kill and maim. He is a very powerful fellow, standing upwards of six feet high, and was taken to gaol on Saturday last. The hop duty is backed freely at 158,0001. A few days more and the matter will be at rest for the pre sent year.—Kentish Gazette. The Earl and Countess of Granville have arrived at Florence, from Germany. The Lord Mayor's ball at Guildhall on Wednesday evening last was attended by nearly 2,000 persons. At ten o'clock dancing commenced to Adams's fashionable band of 30 performers, which played in their usual style . of excellence. Several of Adams's new quadrilles were encored, and the dancing was kept up with great spirit until an early hour in the morning. RAILWAYS.—The number of accidents on the rail ways of the United Kingdom, arising from causes beyond the control ' o f, passengers, which occurred in the year 1841, was 29, by which 24 persons were killed and 72 injured. The number of accidents which occurred in the same period to individuals owing to their own negligence or mis conduct, was 36 ; by which 17 persons were killed and 20 injured. The description given of the seve ral cases in this class affords proof of the extraordinary recklessness of the individuals who have suffered. " Jumped off after his hat" occurs no less than three times ; " jumped off," twelve times; " run over, crossing before a train," occurs six times. There are al?o several cases of persons killed whilst lying asleep on the rails, and of others killed or injured by felling *frOm trucks on which theybeen had riding without leave.

The following edict, taken from the Pekin Gazette, was published in the Hong kong Gazette of July 7. It will be seen that the Emperor's brave troops have made short work of Sir Henry Pottinger and a Bri tish General called Pa, and wounded a great many barbarian chiefs, among others General or Admiral An-tih-che. It is needless to say that Sir Henry Pottinger, according to the last accounts, was alive, and actively carrying on operations which truly arouse the imperial ire : " The Imperial commands have been received as follows :—Yinhing, upon clear investigation, has sent up a document relative to warlike engagements, the attacking and capturing of traitorous natives, their examination and accusations. It appears that the rebellious barbarians have captured three cities, basely exciting confusion and disturbance. They, moreover, have leagued themselves with traitorous banditti, who prowl about spying into our military affairs. This verily is sufficient to cause the hair of the head to stand erect through indignation. It had also been represented that the rebel leader Pottinger attacked Tinghae during the sixth month of last year, but was killed by a gun fired by Howanfe. It is now said that this turns out to be false. It still appears, however, that during the at tack upon Tseke there was a barbarian British chief killed, and the barbarians dwelling in the city of Ningpo went into mourning for him. It was re ported that. the name of the barbarian chief killed was Pa (?) The rebel barbarian An-tih-che (?) received a wound on the arm, and a great barbarian chief re ceived some very severe wounds. There were five ship-loads of the dead bodies of the barbarians taken back to Tinghae, and there interred. There was further an important capture in the person of the traitorous native Chin-pan-keun and four others, who were clearly adjudged and executed. Besides the above, the report states . that a barbarian chief was caught, and many traitorous natives. At present there are well-known names of important personages among the rebellious barbarians who have either been killed in their ranks, or who have been slain by severe wounds. Those traitorous na tives who aided the rebels in their outlawed wicked ness, Yihking succeeded in capturing at different tunes. The barbarians employ those abandoned traitors as :spies and guides, and the traitors cram themselves with the profit of the barbarians ; and thus villany existing both within and without, arouses my Imperial vengeance and ire. The people and the mi litary being aware of the calamities being poured upon us, let them combine their energies and increase their exertions for defence; and let Yihking and his col 7 leagues lead on our forces to the extermination of the enemy, and the rigorous seizure of traitors. Let there he no remissness or delay, until the last traces of the rebels are swept clean from the face of the land, and traitors brought to submission, all of which will accord with the righteous vengeance of heaven.— Respect this." BRIDPORT-W EDNESDAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Siu—l thought I would info rm you of the election of Mayor for the Borough. lam happy to say that Joseph Gundry, Esq., our highly respected and ta lented townsman, a Reformer, a thorough " good man and true," was re-elected without opposition. Proposed by T. C. Hounsell, Esq., and secondedby A. Nicholetts, Esq., a vote of thanks for the able man ner in which he had filled the Chair the past year, was carried unanimously, and the compliment ac knowledged by Mr. Gundry in a neat and appropriate speech, amid general approba ion. Mr. Hounsell, in proposing Mr. Gundry's re-elec tion, observed that he was led to adopt the rather un usual proceeding of proposing his re-election from the circumstance, that during the past year, when a va cancy occurred in the magistracy of the town, the Council proposed a list of names to fill the vacancy, including that of Mr. Gundry, the Mayor, and sent them to Sir J. Graham, when the appointments were made, and it was found that all the names sent from the Council, including the Mayor, than whom it were impossible to find a better man to fill the bench, had been passed over, and the appointments made from a list privately furnished. He (Mr. H.) considered the conduct of Sir J. Graham insulting to the Town Council and to his excellent friend the Mayor; and it was to mark his sense of such conduct that he came forward to propose his friend's re-election to the post of honour for the year ensuing he had so ably and satisfactorily filled for the year now ended. I may add that two of the gentlemen appointed by Sir J. Graham have not yet even qualified themselves for the magistracy. Such is the fact. W. S. A LESSON FOR SIR J. GRAHAM. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. am happy to inform you that the Town Council of this borough has to-day taught a lesson to the home Secretary with reference to his late ap pointment of Magistrates, which it may cost him some extraordinary brass to prevent his feeling , heartily ashamed of his renegade conduct. The bur gesses of Hull, as you will be aware from the pro ceedings in Parliament, had the right, prior to the Municipal Reform Bill, of electing the Magistrates, though, as the burgesses were generally Tories (or were made so by Tory " Jacks of rum" and money bribes), few but those of that kidney were eligible to the Bench. When the Tory leader of the Lords do prived the Municipal Bill of the clause empowering the Council to nominate Magistrates, Lord John Russell avowed that the Crown would always take the recommendation of those bodies. Disregarding this fair dealing, Sir James Graham, as everybody knows, tried to swamp the Magistrates (so to speak) popularly appointed, and by so doing was the utensil of those intriguing Tories in Hull who, in 1818, when he contested this borough a red-hot Radical, were his most violent opponents. Well, Sir, the Town Council to-day has taught Sir James a lesson, by electing as Mayor of Hull, John Atkinson, Esq., a stanch Reformer, but a gentleman not in the Commission of the Peace. Heretofore it has been the practice to select a Magistrate as Mayor, but this year the rule has been departed from, and thereby a Liberal Magistrate secured for two years in spite of Sir James Graham. May duplicity and recreancy ever meet their deserts. Yours,- in haste, Hull, Nov. 9, 1842. REFORMER. THE NEW TOWN OF SWINDON, ON TIIE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The new town of Swindon, si tuated in the vicinity of the station of that name on the Great Western Railway, has recently been making rapid progress. Out of the 300 houses Intended to be built for the use of the Company's officers and ser vants at this, their central establishment, a consider able number are already tenantable.

MAXIMS WORTHY OF PUBLIC ATTENTION.—" Men can bear hunger for a long time under the equator, but ,cold and hunger united very soon exhaust the body." The cooling of the body, by whatever cause it may be produced, increases the amount of food necessary." " The time' 'which is required to cause death by starvation depends on the amount of fat in the body, on the degree of exercise, as in labour or exertion of any kind, and on the temperature of the air." "As an immediate effect of the manifesta tion of mechanical force, we see that a part of the muscular substance loses its vital properties, its cha racter of life; and all experience proves that this con version of living muscular fibre into compounds des titute of vitality is accelerated or retarted according to the amount of force employed to produce motion." " With the external cooling the respiratory motions become stronger, in a lower temperature more oxy gen is conveyed to the blood; the waste of matter in creases, and if the supply be not kept in equilibrium with this waste by means of food, the temperature of the body gradually sinks."—Liebig's work on Animal Chemistry .

Huggett, read the Report, by which it appeared that the number of claims and objections made and sustained by Reformers this year greatly ex ceeded that of any previous year, as will be seen by a comparison' of the last three years. Reform objec tions 1840, made 255, sustained 185 ; 1841, made 657, sustained 492 ; 1842, made 788, sustained 594. The Committee likewise stated in their report that the cause of failure in many of their objections arose from the decision of Mr. Arnold in the " Chamber cases," he having decided, after mature consideration, that persons occupying chambers, though 'not in any of the inns of court, are entitled to be on the register. cellar And his having also decided, th a t w h ere h ouses are t e he is pr e o n p t r it ie le t d or to re v ta o i t n e i . n retaining But a room presumed or therein, u n derlet , he that if these decisions are fully carried out, it will be . highly beneficial to the Reform cause.

S. STU BBS then rose, and said that it was perfectly evident a large sum of money had been l os t by the Proprietors, and he thought they.had a right to know how and where it had gone. There were 41,186 shares held by Manchester and Salford people , and the loss upon them would amount to 410 , 0001 : His own opinion was, that every Director who had had anything to do with the bank was bound to sell every stick and stone of his property to pay the rest of the Shareholders, as far as possible ; for it was clear that the Shareholders had been robbed; and swindled out of their property.—(Applause.) As he said before, it was necessary that they should know where the money was gone ; and, in the first place, he should like to know how much had been lost by the firm of J. 11. Heron and Co. ? The CHAIRMAN said the propertiy Heron and Ca. which would come to the bank from th e estate o was at present in such a state that it was impossible to answer the question. . Mr. STUI;DS—That is what I expected. Perhaps you will tell me what is the loss by Raleigh and t Co.?o. The CHAIRMAN—In th e p resen t state of a ff airs would be quite impossibl e t o answer th a t question. Mr. STuuns—Perhaps you w ill t e ll me what loss will be incurred by Burd e k i n ' s a b scon ding? I see, by a paper published on Saturday, that he is the owner of upwards of 1,400 shares. The CHAIRMAN—The defalcations of Mr. Burdekin will be more than made up by the securities. Mr. STUBBS—You will, perhaps, answer me the question whether he has go ne awa y with the cogni sance of the Board Th cognisance. not gone away with my Mr.e r. Cnlasi sTuannsiN—Perhaps has you will tell me whether any arrangement has been made between the bank and the celebrated Richard Robert s The CHAIRMAN—There has not. Mr. GREIG observed that there was no motion before the meeting, but he th oug ht th e s t e ps he was r iAi ta k 11)0;41114 - bring a mnti on b e f or e them -eeting...t He endeavoured at'the last charges which he b rou g h t meeting to prone 'certain the Managing" Directors, but he had not been able to elicit the in formation needed in consequence of one individual not being present. The individual to whom he alluded was now present, and he trusted that the Chairman would see the necessity of allowing the resolution for dissolving the meeting to remain in abeyance until that gentle man came forward and gave the explanations which, as Shareholders, receive were entitled to receive, and which they must before they entertained such dissolution of the Company. He had cha rges a gainst Mr. Roberts, brought question soma s et the i s t distinc t they ne t which he would repeat in his presence, and to which he expected that individual would return due and faithful answers.—(Applause.) He was aware that an attempt might be made to throw all the blame upon the unfortunate man (Burdekin) who had absconded, but, utterly worthless as he thought him, still he thought he was unable to have carried on successfully so complicated a system of villany as had been carried on. He should now charge Mr. Roberts with having, first of all, abused the trust and confidence reposed in him having abused the trust a r eposed re i c h tor hi ; m sec as on o d o ly e , o vv f it t h he Managing Com mittee ; thirdly, with havi n g deceived the Sharehold ers and the public ; and fourthly, he should charge him with fraudulently abstracting money from'the Ban k for his own private uses. He charged him with these acts, and asked him to stand uP before the meeting and disprove them:—(Applause.) Mr. MILLINGTON impressed upon the Shareholders the necessity of thoroughly investigating the accounts before they gave their sanction to the dissolution of the Company. Before they passed such a resolution he hoped they would take care to well understand whether or not they should be placed in a worse situ ation by so doing.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. GBEIG proposed that Richard Roberts should be heard, observing that if he did not come for ward and answer the charges he had brought against him, he (Mr. Greig) should submit a resolution against the dissolution of the Company. The CHAIRMAN said the object in calling the meet- I ing together was to inquire whether it was the wish of any one Shareholder to propose the dissolution of the Company. Mr. CURTIS (of the firm of Parr, Curtis, and Co.) rose to propose the dissolution of the Company, and argued that there were three parties to blame for bringing the bank into its present state. He consi dered that the Shareholders themselves bad not ac quitted themselves as they ought to have - done, in having received theostatements of the Directors at each succeeding half-yearly meeting without inquir ing into the particulars upon which those , statements were founded, and therefore the Shareholders them selves ought to come forward and bear a portion of the blame which jointly attached to them. - • - - After some further retuarka front •Mr. Curtis, Mr. GazzG'referred to the 74th clause of the deed of settlement, and said, so far as he could understand the words, it was not necessary in order to the disso lution of the Company that there should be either a mover or seconder. If it required a resolution at all, he should move an amendment that it by not enter tained at all till thebusineSs of the bank y vesex pi a i ne d. Mr. BUNKO gifterW 4l. 4l re 444. 14iv , deence of ' his conduct whilst a Director on the General Board, and also whilst a Managing Director. lie first alluded to the fact of his accuser, Mr. Greig, having only re cently become a shareholder, and therefore must have purchased his shares at a very reduced rate. Mr. GREIG said he paid 51.11 s 3d. for the 112 shares which he now held: Mr. ROBERTS then entered into a review of the cir cumstances connected with the management of the bank since he became a Shareholder, in 1831, when he was appointed upon the General Board. Fora con siderable period after he became connected with the management he had no account with the bank, and did not open one until the bank with which he had previ ously transacted business (Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co.), intimated to him, that as he was a director of an other bank, they did not think it right that he should be a borrower of them. He said that when he became connected with the bank as a Managing Director, lie was in easy circumstances, and attributed his subse quent losses to the badness of trade, and to the fact of his having paid npwards of 8,0001. to the bank as in terest. He also alleged that at the period of his re tiring from the bank in May last he was not aware that anything like the losses had been sustained which were now represented. He concluded by calling upon the Directors present to state whether they had any thing to allege to his charge which called in question his honesty and integrity. At the request of a Shareholder, Mr. Smith, the manager, read the statement of Messrs. Hilton, of Darwen, and of Messrs. Raleigh and Co., from the period of their opening an account with the bank to the time of their respective failures. It appeared that on the 31st of December, 1840, the debt of Raleigh and Co. was 169,1191. 6s. 7d.; on the 30th of June, 1841, it was 183,8761. 15s. 2d.; and in December, 1841, it was above 235,000/. ; and on the Ist of March last it was 225,8071. 195. 10d. Mr. Smith said that in the present state of the affairs of Raleigh and Co., it would not be prudent to go fur ther into the particulars of the debt. Mr. ItonnsCrs entered into a lengthened explanation of the state of the law accounts, the particulars of which had been read to the Shareholders, and said, as regarded that of Hilton's, he had yet to be informed as to whether or not the. bank was in possession of security to a very large amount, and which he be lieved would nearly cover the whole of their liabilities. It was not his business as Director to investigate those securities, hut the duty of the then solicitor of the bank. That account was taken up in 1836, and there appeared to be a good working account, and, as far as the Directors knew, up to the time of his (Mr. Robert's) leaving the bank, the securities were good and adequate to the debt; and when the Report was made in October, 1841, it was his honest opinion that the account of Joseph Raleigh and Co. could have been paid to the bank. Mr. Robert's explanation oc cupied a considerable time, but afforded no satisfac tory explanation to the Shareholders, a part of it being a justification of himself; on some charges brought against him by some of the newspapers. After some further discussion, Mr. STUBBS moved that the meeting be adjourned till 'Wednesday, at eleven o'clock. Mr. WALKER moved an adjournment for three months, as an amendment.' The CHAIRMAN then put the amendment, which was carried by a considerable majority.—After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting separated. OPENING OF THE BELGIAN CHAMBBRS. SPEECH OF THE KING OF THE BELGIANS IN THE ROYAL SITTING OF NOVEMBER 8. SESSION OF 1842-43. The following is the speech delivered by the King of the Belgians on the afternoon of the Bth : " Gentlemen,—l congratulate you, in the name of the country, upon your long and labourious session, ended a few weeks since, and during which you hare resolved so many important questions. " The short interval which separates us from it has been employed by my Government in the execution of some of the laws to which you have given your as sent, and to the preparation of others which we are coming to. " The loan that you have authorised, and the con clusion of which was urgent, has been contracted at an advantageous rate that attests our credit. " The law on elementary instruction has been re ceived everywhere in a manner which gives me a plain confidence in the facility of its execution, and presages the favourable solution of questions of the same nature. " You have been eager to answer to the appeal that I made to the national sympathies in authorising my Government to concur with the provinces and the commonalties to perpetuate the memory of men who have illustrated the Belgian name. The exhibition of pictures and sculpture has given a new proof that our country has maintained the rank that it has acquired during three centuries. " The direct negotiations opened during the year with the Cabinet of the Hague, have been brought to a conclusion satisfactory for every interest; all the difficulties relative to the separation of both countries have been simultaneously resolved : this treaty, a com plement of the treaty of London, will be undoubtedly the first object of your deliberations. " It is without intermediate party, and inspired by a mutual sense of conciliation, that the two Powers are come to place themselves definitively in a normal situation ; the first consequence of this accord has been the signature of a convention of internal navi gation. " This result, in regulating our relations with the Low Countries, will have a favourable influence on our connexions with the other Powers which have con stantly given to us proofs of confidence and amity. "The negotiations with Spain have brought up, as a first result, a convention which will be submitted to you, and which opens anew this ancient market to one of our principal industries. " In prosecuting other negotiations, it is impossible not to consider certain measures of internal legislation as necessary. " Several products, which are the basis of our ex portations, are submitted by law to export duties which nothing can longer justify. " Other articles of foreign importation may be sub jected, without any grievance for our commercial con cerns, to an increase of import duties, for the sake of national industry and of the public treasury. " You will have to decide also upon the conclusions of the Commission of Inquiry * which you have in stituted, these two years, and the operations of which I have contemplated with great interest. " Perhaps in order to encourage our exports for re mote countries, we shall be led to recur to an institu tion to which the present laws of nations oppose no more the obstacles which existed in other times.t "'lnternatiOnal questions relating- t:o#cuatoins, po lice, and post-oftces will be brought up on account o, our railway havingipassed over the frontiers of France; and being on the point of reaching those of Germany the Government will probably have occasion to de mand special powers for their solution. " The province which has been laid out of this great system of communication has received with gratitude the compensation that you have allowed to it ; another province,§ a victim of the precedent of di plomatic necessities, is in expectation of the law, which will realise one of the boons of your last session. " Independent of the projects of law which are yet lying before :you, you will examine several proposi tions, some of which are designed to maintain tem porary laws that are coming to their end, and others have for their object the improvement of legislation and the protection of children in manufactories. " If the preceding session has been signalised by the importance of the questions which have been de bated, and by several acts of national equity, these resolutions, though they do not compromise our financial situation, require, however, the creation of new ways and means, for the purpose of bringing the public revenues to a level with the charges. " Several financial laws have been presented to you, others will be presented at the same time with the budget of ways and means. Provisional resources for 1843 have been regarded as indispensable until these laws, designed to increase our income and to do justice to the claims against several imperfections of actual legislation, be adopted and enacted. " The new legislative dispositions have given the opportunity to modify .advantageously the situation of our army, and have forwarded promotions lawfully attained. " These measures have stimulated a noble emula tion, which, added to the discipline, instruction, and devotedness of which the army gives proofs, continue to render it worthy of my confidence and of your in terest. " Gentlemen, you will now resume the course of your deliberations momentarily interrupted ; I have but one wish to offer, it is that, in all respects, the new session may be, for the country and for myself, the continuation of the preceding one."

DOTTEREL.—SeveraI flocks of these highly-prized birds have been noticed lately' on the downs and slopes near Amesbury, where very seldom, except in rigorous and severe winters, is the dotterel observed in that locality. When dotterels are seen upon the downs, the old shepherds say they are sure of a sharp winter. The golden plover, a bird of the same family, abounds this year in the sheep walks along the downs, and both these birds occasion ally flock together, their feeding, haunts, and habits being similar. A gentleman at Andover, last week, at one discharge of his fowling piece, at a flock of golden plovers, passing him on the wing, succeeded in bringing down ten of these choice birds, and one dotterel.—Salutbury Herald. . SERVIA. A notice of this province, as regards its population, position, and means of defence, will not be considered inopportune, at a moment when its peace is threatened to be disturbed by rival interests. Servia, one of the leading provinces of European Turkey, extends about 190 miles in length, by about 100 in breadth, its superficial area being computed at 19,000 square miles. The Danube and Saave wash its borders on the north, separating it from the Aus trian dominions; the Turkish territory of Nyssa, the Sangiak of Sophia, and Albania on the south; the east finds it bounded by Bulgaria, and the west by Bosnia. The aspect of the country is highly mountainous. On the west it is covered by ramifications of the Dinaric Alps; an extension of the range of the Balkan skirts it on the east and south ; the chain known by the name of the Haiduka mountains being the eastern most. Plains of a large and ample expanse incline towards its northernmost borders, while the river Morava, which traverses the country from south to north, runs through a wide and open valley. The variety of its mountains, hills, and valleys, and the wild nature of its forest scenery and desert heaths ren der it a highly picturesque country. Cotton thrives in its warmer valleys, and its soil produces abundantly all the grains, with flax, hemp, and tobacco. The chief resources of Servia, for export, are wool, skins, a spirit made of prunes (of which a great deal is sent to Hungary), and swine,which are bred in the forests with very little care, and left to feed on acorns. They are of a diminutive species, covered with hair rather than bristles, but amazingly numerous, and so easy to rear that they constitute a main portion of the Servian's wealth. The manufactures of the country are con- fined to inferior cottons, woollens, and coarse hard ware. British goods ar eas y e t little known there, having been limited to small supplies from Trieste, through the Austrian territories ; the opening of the steam navigation, on the Danube, will, however, greatly for ward this, without doubt. With regard to the character of the Servian race, they are pronounced to be brave and hardy. Inferior, at present, to the European Turks in intelligence, manners, and general humanity, they are nevertheless far superior to them in activity a n d V industry ; while they offer, in the very independence of their character, the finest material for the silent operation of peace and civilisation. They profess the Greek faith. The population of Servia is stated to . be about half a million—a comparatively thin population, arising out of the devastating wars which have from time to time visited it. With regard to the appearance of the Servians, travellers have observed a great resemblance between them and the natives o f th e Swiss Highlands. Of the country generally, it may be said, that it is in a state of progress. In addition to the great improve ment of steam-navigation, Prince Milosch lately opened a wide road across Servia, from Nyssa on the frontiers of Roumili to Belgrade. Among other signs of progress, elementary schools have been established in the various districts. In Servia also, every able bodied man is a soldier, and has his own arms. Servia, by its settlement of affairs s i nce 1830, p ays a fixed amount of tribute to the Porte, which is yearly de livered by the Prince into the hands of the Pacha. The natives of Servia are allowed to trade all over the Ottoman empire, when furnished with Servian passports. The principal towns of Servia are-1. Semendria, or Sant Andriga, situated at the confluence of the Jessava with the Danube, a fortified town with about 12,000 inhabitants, and the residence of the Arch bishop-primate of Servia, and the place of assembly of the Senate. 2. Belgrade. 3. Zabatz, or Scha bacz, near the Saave, a fortified town. 4. Usicza, near the borders of Bosnia, a town of 6,000 inhabi tants, carrying on a considerable trade. 5. Vallievo, a place much frequented for its markets. 6. Kragoje watz, a small town in the centre of Servia, where a diet of the representatives of Servia proclaimed, in 1830, 11ilosch and his heirs Princes of Servia. The Superior Court of Justice of the Principality sits at Kragojewatz, which is also the common residence of the Prince. As Belgrade may be considered the Rey of the country, and the first place at which military opera tions would commence in case of the outbreak of those hostilities which appear to be threatened, this fortress requires to be particularised : Belgrade is by the Servians called Abba Grmca, by the Turks Darol Dshishad, or the House of the Holy War. It stands about two miles south-east of Semlin, at the junction of the Saave with the Danube, and on the right bank of both these rivers. " These two majestic streams, blending their waters at this point," says Fricke', " expand into what might be mistaken for the ocean itself, and the spot where the Saave pours itself into the Queen of European rivers is clearly perceptible from the diversity of the tints. Belgrade was founded by Dushan, King of Serria, in the year 1372, and is divided into four quarters, the most conspicuous of which is the Citadel, which forms the centre of the town, and is constructed on an ac clivity, about a hundred feet high, jutting out into the Danube. The first objects that meet the eye on enter ing the fortress are the arsenal and magazines erected by the Austrians during the last century, when Belgrade vas in their possession. The garrison, at present, is said to be of the most miserable description, it being the Pacha's interest to maintain as few troops as possible, and at as low a cost as practicable. In all there are three ditches to it, the one within the other, besides mines and bomb-proof casemates. Belgrade contains the palace of the Greek Bishop, fourteen mosques, the fish and other markets, an arsenal, spacious barracks, and the custom-house. The northern and eastern sides of it are protected by a ruinous wall of earth, eight feet in height, the two outlets through which are protected by wooden towers. It is much more strongly fortified to the south, in which direction is a stout wall of masonry and brickwork : this wall is or namented by a very solid gate, opening upon the road that leads to Constantinople. More immediately to the south-west of the citadel runs a long range of suburbs, beyond which is the Rascian, or Servian town, and the Palanka, a further line of suburbs. Independently of the Turkish garrison, which sel dom exceeds five or six thousand men, the inhabitants of Belgrade do not at present amount to more than twenty thousand. THE SHIP CARPENTERS OF LIVERPOOL. The scarcity of employment in the ship-building yards of this town has for some time past been very great, and we believe that it has recently increased, so that in some instances the hands who have been for years umployed in one establishment, and who were looked upon as the most steady and efficient workmen, have at length been discharged. This deplorable state of things seems to have driven the journeymen be longing to this town into the adoption of a foolish de termination to endeavour by all means in their power to drive away from Liverpool all the ship -carpenters who have - served their time here. Yesterday, three came ship-carpenters applied to Mr. Rushto n un d er t h e fol lowing circumstances :—They stat e d th a t w hi lst en gagedseTera at individualsl their work on belonging Saturday, to tle in tra de the graving .l L t o d t o h c e k m s and, stating that they (th e men of Li verpool) had come to the determination that no strangers should hereafter be employed in the town, ordered them to ft knock off work, l ' adding, If you don't do it by air means, we'll mak e you do it by foul." The first person thus served with this imperative order said that he belonged to Chester, and that he remonstrated with the men, and refused to leave work, whereupon they threw stones and bricks at him. The second was served in a similar way. In the third instance, when the man was ordered to desist at once from working, and the resolution of the trade made known to him, he replied, " How can you call me a stranger, when I ha ve been twenty-seven years in the town ?" The reply was, " Well, you have been here twenty seven years too long." He refused to comply with the order, and was not then molested ; but subsequently, a crowd of carpenters came, and threw a shower of stones and bricks aboutl4i head. Mr. Rushton said to one of the carpenters; " And do these men really announce their determination to drive away every stranger from the port ?" The answer was in the affirmative. Mr. Rushton—What madness! because if they were to drive away all the people who are not natives of the town, there would be very few left." As none of the parties throwing stones could be identified, Mr. Rushton granted warrants for threat ening against the men who had ordered the appli cants to " knock of? work," and said to the three proscribed strangers, " Tell the ship-carpenters of Liverpool that the end of this will be to involve them in trouble, and to get many of them into gaol for the Magistrates, they may depend upon it, will no permit such proceedings as these."—Liverpool Times ADMIRAL N U GENT.—We are happy in being abl e to state, from inquiries made at Charing cross hos pital yesterday-, that Sir Charles Nugent i s go i ng on very favourably, and little doubt now remains but that the Gallant Admiral, notwithstanding his ad_ vanced age, will fully recover from the effects of his late severe accident. - THE COLONIAL . ' BISHOPS.—The Bishops of yen Diemen's Land and Antigua are expected to leave England for their distant dioceses in the course of a very few days. The three others, who were conse crated last August, have already taken their departure. The Lord Bishop of Barbadoes, Dr. Parry, left on the 16th of September. The Right Rev. Prelate has appointed the Rev. Charles Laws'on, M.A., morning preacher at the Foundling Hospital, to the Archdea conry, and has nominated the Rev. W. Chamberlain, M.A., to the incumbency of the principal church in the island of Tri n id a d . Dr. Tomlinson, Bishop of Gibraltar, sailed on the ?oth of last month, accompa nied by his two chaplains, the Rev. Philip M ules ' M.A., fellow of Exeter College, Oxford ; and the Rev. James Lonsdale, ILA, fellow of Balliol College. Dr. W. Piercy:Austin, Bishop of Guiana, set sail from Falmouth on Thursday LAW INTELLIGENCE. CO&RT OF CHANCERY, Nor. 10. TAYLOR V. RITNDELL AND OTHERS. This case was partly argued before the long vaca.. tion. It came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, allow. ing ( xceptions taken to the sufficiency of the answers made by the defendants to certain interrogation s . The defendants are three of the Directors of the Ge. neral llining Company, and also trustees of a lease granted by his late Royal Highness the Duke of York of certain mines in Cape Breton to the Com pany. That lease contained special covenants, by which they were bound to give every information that might be required of them with respect to the working of the mines. A bill of discovery was filed by the executors of the Duke of York against the defendants, and to that bill they - pot, in an answer, which was considered insufficient Cer tain interrogations were then put to them, and the answers to those interrogations were also considered insufficient. The defendants stated that they could give no other answer as the other Directors of the Company refused to allow them to have access to those .documents of the Company which were neces sary to enable them to give more distinct answers. The Master had reported the answers sufficient, but exceptions were taken to that report, and those ex ceptions were allowed by the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the arguments, gave the defendants liberty to put in a fur ther examination, and allowed them a month to do so. SMITII r. THE DUKE OF BEAUFORT. -- This case came before the Court upon an appeal motion from an order pronounced by - Vice. Chan cellor Wigram, by which he .directed that the Duke of Beaufort should produce for the inspection of the plaintiff certain documents in his possession. Th e Duke of Beaufort, as Lord of the Manor of Kik, in Glamorganshire, claimed the toll of 4d. for every weigh of coals, containing 48 bags, each bag con taining 3 bushels, carried across Swansea bar. The Duke sought to enforce the claim by an action at law, upon which the plaintiff filed his bill of discovery, alleging that the Duke was not entitled to the tolls, and that he (the Duke) had documents in his pos session which would show that he was not. the plaintiff sought the production of the documents, which the Vice-Chancellor Wigram ordered, and from that decision the present appeal was brought. Mr. LOWNDES was heard to-day up to the rising of the Court on behalf of the noble defendant, and the further consideration of the case was adjourned till Thursday next. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Nov. 10. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) The Court w•as occupied in hearing motions. ELOGGAT BRYANT. Mr. BETIIELL moved, in this case, for security for costs from the defendants, against whom a verdict had been given. The plaintiff was a resident at Bodmin, in Cornwall,. but on application he was not to be found at his residence, but he was afterwards traced to, and discovered, in a solicitor's chambers in London. The application for security for costs was made, on the ground of the inability to discover him at his residence. Mr. STEWART opposed the application. The de fendant resided at Bodmin, and his residence and pro perty were still there ; and he contended that the mere fact of his coming to London, and—not himself but only his hat being found in an attorney's cham bers, was not sufficient to warrant a security for costs. lie: had actually brought himself more within the jurisdiction of the Court, for the purpose of filing a cross bill. He had certainly removed his hat and head from Bodmin to London, but he was still a householder of the former place, paying scot and lot ; and the mere fact of his being absent from his home was not to be taken as abscond ing, or sufficient to warrant the application.' Mr. BETIIELL said, when he first opened the case he was not aware of half its enormity. The defendant had brought into Court fourteen or fifteen un fortunate individuals, who, before they could pro ceed a step, were, by the order- of this Court, com pelled to pay no less than a thousand pounds for the office copy of the bill, which amoupted to the enormous number of 1,618 folios. (The office copy was produced, and excited some laughter from its enormous size). In addition to the fact that he had left his residence, he had admitted that his house had been stripped of all the property in it. The pretence that he was putting in a cross bill w as a perfect abuse of terms. He was avowedly an insol vent, lurkin ,, from the pursuit of legal proceedings, and attempted to evade the consequences of his acts by putting in three bills, one of 1,618 folios, and the others of 700 and 800 each respectively. His HONOUR allowed the application in the usual way. Ile could not arrive per saltem at the conclu sion, that the enormous bill before the Court was al together a fraud, whatever it might appear, should it ever be his misfortune to read it. (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) MOORE V. DEARDON. In this cause, the hearing of which occupied two or three days, his HoNona gave judgment this morning. His HONOI:li said there had been great delay in the prosecution of this suit, the bill having been filed more than 20 years ago. He had not heard any satisfac tory reason why the cause had not been heard, or the bill dismissed, in the lifetime of Mr. Deardon, the only one of the original parties not now living. Hav ing:regard to all the circumstances of the cause, and the state of the pleadings, he could not all?%v the plea which the defendants had set up in opposition to the plaintiff's title. Ile thought the case was (me for further inquiry. It was incumbent on him, whatever regret he might feel, occasioned by the long period which had already been passed in litigation, and the inconsiderable amount of the property, to desist from further investigation. His mind had fluctuated be tween a Jury and the Master's office. In proposing the former, he had been influenced by the con sideration that the evidence to be laid before a Jury would he as extensive as that which could usefully be laid before the Master, and must ultimately come under the review of the Court. On the whole he thought it better that there should be an issue tried in Lancashire at the ensuing assizes between Mr. Per rand and the present Deardon as plaintiffs at law, and Miss Moore as the defendant. Ills Honou r th en di rected five issues to be tried at th e nex t L ancaster assizes. DI:PUT r. TRUMAN. In this case, Mr. RUSSELL moved the Court on behalf of the plaintiff, Sophia Dupuv, for an injunc tion to retrain Matthew Truman from selling out or disposing of certain Bank stock at present standing in his name. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to state the case at length, when The VICE-CHANCELLOR inquired whether the de fendant wished to make any immediate use of the stock ? Mr. SIMPKINSON, for the defendant, said certainly not. The defendant is only anxious for the most minute investigation. His HoNona said he thought all he could do at present was, to make an order by consent without prejudice protecting the fund, the plaintiff undertaking to accelerate the cause. If both parties consented that he should adjudicate upon the merits, or direct an issue after hearing the motion , it would be his duty to hear the motion ; otherwise, all that he could do was to make an order for that which was the sole object of the motion. Mr. SIMPXINSON thought he would best discharge his duty to his client by assenting to hisHonour's pro rty to b o either u nd to party accelerate posal. The VICE-CHANCELLOR —Then by consent of th e defendant, and without p re j udice t o the q uestio n in the cause, let an ord er be issued in the terms o f th e lie would notice of motion, consider mi each th p liberty a cause in every possible way. PINNOCII V. RIGBY. In this motion the point to be decided wa.s, wheth e r cclesiastical Cou r t f rom granting the the Court of Chancery could grant an Injunction to re r s rat Mr. Cooper and Mr. Wallett app eared in support of the motion, and Mr. James Pa r k er opposed it. The VICE-CHANCEL LOR sa i d that this question was p i e n o t f he al E vill. one of such great importance, that he should be un willing to decide it upon interlocutors- motion. It would be much more satisfactorily decided at the hearing, lie threw out this for the consideration of Counsel. After a short discussion, it was ultimately agreed that the motion should stand over until the first seal after term : the defendant undertaking to take no pro ceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court in the mean time. (Before Sir JAMES WIGWAM.) PINKETT r. WRIGHT. The hearing of this cause was continued during• tho whole of this day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nev. (Sittings in Banco.) CASE OF CAPTAIN DOUGLAS. IN THE MATTER OF AECHIDALD DOUGLAS, A rm. SONER IN THE CUSTODY OF THE KEEPER. or TOII• HILL: FIELDS RRIDEWELL.-11ABE•S CORPUS. The prisoner in this case is Captain Archibald Douglas, a military officer in the service of the East India Company, and the Company's Resident at the Court of his I lighness the Raja of Tanjore, and was this day to have been brought up, in order to have the cause of his imprisonment inquired into. The prisoner, it will be recollected, was committed on Friday last by a Magistrate as a deserter from the East India Service, on the ground that having leave only to go to the Neilgherry Hills, he had taken ad vantage of that leave of absence to quit India and to return to England. It was hinted at the examination before the Magistrate, that there were sundry charges against th e prisoner in his political capacity, which, however, had nothing to do with the charge ott which he wa.l committed, namely, Quit a do!
