To prevent disappointment an early applic ation for the humble orders of the Scottish p eo p le found them- seats ' selves intrusted with the guiding po wer in ecclesiastical Matters that there arose in this country for the first time the spirit of civil independence. In former times they fought like lions against foreign despots, but not against home tyrants. They had not the old English feeling ; and we find little trace of it in Scotland until the Reformation, which first gave to the inhabitants of this country that view of civil independence which they have since maintained. His lordship pronounced a warm enlogium upon the devotion which the common alty of Scotland had ever displayed—in the time of Wallace when deserted by the nobles, and subsequently both at the Reformation and during the previous eccle siastical troubles. Coming to the-Union he gave a graphic picture of the new phases which it developed in the career of the Scottish courtier. He thought the removal of the Court to London had one bad effect in creating that false shame among Scottish courtiers which arose from their nervousness when they were assailed with the sneers and taunts, and jeers of the English at Whitehall. Sir Per tinax Mac-Sycophant, who was "aye booing," was the embodiment of the Scottish character by the dramatists of the ISth century. But, unquestionably, great good arose to this country from the manner in which the re presentatives of Scotland in London had always asserted their claims to a share in those offices which the English wire at first disposed to regard as their own exclusive birthright. After eulogising the memory of Henry Dundas and the Scottish Jacobites his lordship glanced at three names as typical of Scotch character during the last century. The first, Duncan Forbes, of Culloden, about the greatest patriot and statesman Scotland ever had, who ought to be more revered and honoured ; the second, David Hume, who was emphatically the man of the last century, although the jealousy of the English people and the English constitution which tinged all his writings was the fruit of a hatred engendered by the quips and scorns to which he and the Scotehmen of his time were subjected in London; the third, Robert Burns, who had preserved in a classic form which will go down to our latest posterity that language which bade fair to pass into a barbarous jargon. In conclusion, he alluded to the great influence for good which had arisen from our gracious Sovereign having taken up her residence for a short period of each year in Scotland. More through that than any other cause the impressions of English men with regard to Scotland had been fairly altered. He likewise briefly alluded to the great cause of educa tion, particularly to the amelioration of the great masses of people which our commerce and manufactures had brought together. The question of the day was, how were we to provide that education which ought to ad vance in proportion to the population ? He could only say that every drop thrown into the ocean of general education was not to be despised, and might raise a train of thought which might ripen into powerful exertions for the common good. His lordship sat down amid loud cheers. THEATR,E ROYAL, HAYMARKET.

Yesterday forenoon Mr. Spurgeon, pursuant to notice privately circulated among his congregation, resumed the occupancy of his own pulpit in Park-street Chapel, South wark. A. great many persons were admitted by tickets before the doors were opened to the piblic, and when the preacher entered, every nook and corner, as well in the body of the chapel as in the galleries, was densely crowded by an eager auditory. Mr. Spurgeon was conducted to the pulpit by the deacons of his chapel. He appeared quite recovered from his recent indisposition. He looked serious, but there was nothing extraordinary in his countenance be yond that impulsive expression which seems to be the leading eharacteristic of features. The service commenced with a short prayer, after which Mr. Spurgeon gave out one of Watts' hymns, in which, it was declared by some present, one verse de picted the preacher's own state of mind : R OYAL OLYMPIC THEATRE.

The hymn sung, Mr. Spurgeon read and expounded a psalm, and then invited his audience to "wait on the Lord in prayer." It was now the first allusion was made to the terrible catastrophe of Sunday fortnight. After invoking a blessing on his flock, the preacher proceeded as follows : " We are assembled here this day with mixed feelings of joy and sorry—joy that we meet each other again, and sorrow for those who have suffered bereavements. Thanks to Thy name !—thanks to Thy name ! Thy servant feared he should not have addressed this congregation again ; but Thou least brought him from the fiery furnace, and not even a smell of fire has passed upon him. Thou hest, moreover, given Thy servant strength, and he desires now to confirm those great promises of free grace which the Gospel affords. Thou knowest, 0 God ! our feelings of sorrow. We must not open the sluices of our woe. Oh, God ! comfort those who are lingering in pain and suffering, and cheer those who have been bereaved. Let a blessing rest upon them, even the blessing of the cove nant of grace and of this world. And now, Lord, bless Thy people. We have loved one another—we have re joiced in each other's joys—we have wept together in sorrow. Tnou bast welded us together, one in doctrine, one in prac - ice, and one in holy love. Oh ! that it may he said of each that he is bound up in the bundle of life. Oh, Lord, we thank Thee for all the slander, calumny, and malice with which Thou halt allowed the enemy to honour us ; and grant that we may never give them cause to blaspheme with reason." Mr. Spurgeon con cluded wit h a personal reference to the various classes of his hearers, calling upon despisers to tremble, scof fers to weep, and bidding all true penitents rejoice. A psalm was now sung, after which Mr. Spurgeon spoke as follows in reference to the melancholy occasion above referred to :—" Now, my dear friends, I almost regret that I should have occupied the pulpit this morning b€ceuse I feel totally u nable to preach to y our profit. • I had thought, during the relaxation I have had since that terrible catastrophe, that I was thoroughly recovered ; but, upon coming beck again to th e same spot, and addressing you from this place, I experience the Fame painful feelings which well nigh prostrated me before. You will therefore, I am sure, my kind friends, excuse me if I make no allu sion, or scarcely any, to that subject. Indeed I ft el that I could not preach upon a subject at all allied to it. I should be overwhelmed by the torrent of my feelings if I recurred to that dreadful scene in which it was my lot to stand. God will overrule that event for good. It might not have arisen so much from the malice of men se from some simply wicked intention to disturb toe congregation. I cannot entertain for a moment the thought that there was any intention to murder those fellow-creatures whose lives were sacrificed on that me• lancholy occasion. God forgive the instigators of that horrid scene. They have my forgiveness from the depths of my so ul.

The discourse was almost entirely free from the strange me taphors which have rendered thie ,gentleman's preaching so notorious, and probably many who ca me to be amused may have gone awa y di sa ppointed. A great crowd awaited Mr. Spargeon'e departure from the chapel, and many eager admirers ran after his carriage to grasp the hand which be extended from the window of his brougham. MGR.

It is positively asserted that Count WALEWSKI - , the French Minister for are about to submit to the Board of Works is a wretched abortion, and the decision has been arrived at in a spirit unworthy of the responsible position they occupy. Whatever be tho expen- diture involved in the 'adoption of a plan which will answer the intended purpose, by carrying the sewage to a point from whence it cannot pos- Foreign Affairs, an d ~PYCStid rent of the Parisian ? )ir l ,ll a Pole, is to have Conferences —who is by the Polish Estates of his !amily—long since con fiscated by the Governme at of St. Petersburg— restored to him again, "for his services to the Thi a is, indeed, a startling " ser tvar.'' What al 13 these valuable C an z n ia o l u i n Th ce a m te e l n a t te ! vices," that are to be cotn pensated by so rich a reward ? Count WIALEWSKI was the Minister of France, on whom the chief responsibility for the mar. agement of the war rested. If he acted faithf ally to his adopted country he must have irrevocably cast off the allegiance due to the Autocrat, and to the best and utmost of his abPities endeavoured to pro mote a state of affairs by no means satisfactory to, or compatible with, the interests of Russia. And what is even of still greater importance, will be either president or a leading and influential member of the New Conferences, supplemental to those that effectuated in the Precious Treaty. The CZAR'S gratitude for important " services" during the late war may, therefore, be something analogous to that of sundry "waiters on Pn9vr- DENCE," which has been defined as a lively sense of favours to come. But whether the boon be for the past, the present, or the future, it is deserving of attentive consideration on the part of the English Govern ment. If Count WALEWSKI has indeed obtained possession of his hereditary estates he is the vassal of Russia, and may be recalled at any moment when he is not sufficiently sub missive to the will of his Autocratic master. It is therefore his interest to conciliate the Govern ment of St. Petersburg, and it cannot be sup posed that he will hold the scales with an im partial hand in his position as President of the forthcoming Conferences. In such a position a man should bo "above suspicion," and as that cannot possibly be the case, Count WenEwsKr should be relieved from further labour, and some person substituted not affected by so many con flicting influences. Complaints have already been put forward on the part of Russia respecting the continuance of the English fleet in the Euxino ! And it is more than hinted that France has not very cor dially concurred in the policy of the PALMERSTON Cabinet ; that she is drawing more closely the ties by which she is connected with Russia ; while those cemented by the blood of her own gallant soldiers and those of England have been perceptibly loosened. There are said to be serious differences of opinion between the diplomatists at the Porte, but whatever may be the case, and no matter who may be opposed to it, the British squadron cannot leave the waters of the Black Sea until Russia has fully and fairly performed her part of the contract, and the rectification of the Bessarabian frontier has been completed. The case is altogether different from that of the Austrian occupation. England cannot by any possibility be even suspected of sinister designs respecting the acquisition of territory. She only looks to matters of " European" interest so far as the Principalities are concerned. Besides, the sailors are not supported at the expense of the inhabi tants. Their presence is hailed as a welcome boon, not an almost intolerable burden. They may protect—they cannot oppress—or injure the people. The final arrangement of the form of govern ment in those important provinces is indeed a matter of deep interest. But it can scarcely be satisfactorily arranged so long as the Austrian troops maintain their hold and tyrannise over the people—we might just as well expect a fair elec tion in Kansas as in Moldavia or Wallachia. If left to themselves the people would arrive at a pro per decision. They are not of Sclavonic origin, and although many of the magnates may have yielded to the gentle persuasions of Russia, and although many profess " the orthodox creed," they would still, under judicious arrangements, act as a barrier against Muscovite aggression, and divide it from Provinces where its arts might, in consequence, prove far more injurious to the peace and tranquillity of Europe. The issue is, indeed, one of vast weight, and it should receive the calm and attentive conside ration it so eminently merits from persons of whose disinterestedness and impartiality no rea sonable doubt can be entertained. sibly return to pollute the Thames and load the air of the metropolis and the adjacent towns with noisome exhalations, that purpose is well worthy of it. We disdain—all right-thinking men must —setting a money value on human life. We leave that to the slaveholder ; and we cannot suffer it to bo taken for granted that the entire burden of carrying the sewage to Sea Reach will fall on the metropolitan ratepayer. Neither can we admit the possibility of a plan of deodorisation being discovered by way of excuse for inaction. The duty of the Metropolitan Board was to decide on a plan equal to the occasion, and to appeal to the justice of the Government for the aid they had a right to seek. It is not to be believed that aid would have been refused. The evils to be remedied, if to a large extent matter of local concern, to be remedied by local effort, are of national interest also. The pestiferous effiu_ via of which the metropolis is to be rid though specially injurious to the poor, surges over and beyond the confined alley, area, and square. It penetrates the abode of royalty, invades the seats of legislature and judicature, and is fraught with danger to the most eminent of all classes in the land. Of this the Government cannot fail to be aware, and, being so, are not likely to evade a responsibility in the due exercise of which every individual member is personally interested. Nor is this the only source of aid to which the Metropclitan Board have a right to look. The drainage to be carried out to sea must pass through tracts of marshy land, to the value of which a well-considered plan would greatly contribute. The owners could not expect to have this done for nothing—indeed, it is said, they would be but too glad to pay a fair modicum towards the taxa tion. Are do not see why Greenwich, Woolwich, Gravesend, kc., should not b 3 now or hereafter called on to avail themselves of the metropolitan sea outlet ; and, of course, if they do so, to contribute in due proportion to the cost. The more, in fact, the question of expenditure is examined, the more invalid will appear the plea on which the Metropolitan Board would justify their perverse inaction, for not a man of them but is well aware the plan they have decided on will not be carried out. We may seem to press too heavily on the Board—but a moment's reflec t tion will show we do not. What have they done in other matters ? Where is the new street from Southwark to Westminster ? Where any improve ment called for of any moment ? The Board, to all intents and purposes, are sunk in the sewage, and that flood would. be a godsend that carried them, one and all, out to sea. They ara not the men we took them for, and, what is more, they are not the men wanted. They are talkers, and not doers ; great at squabbles, but little where great deeds are to be done. Away with them, and let us have fresh men in their place. We eannot possibly lose by such an exchange. It i 3 to be hoped the Chairman of the Metro politan Board is familiar with the process said to be in vogue among the genus Tartuffe—to wit, facial flat ironing, or we may have the actors laughing at the farce—which is to come off on Wednesday next—during the performance. On that day Mr. THWAITES, accompanied by Mr. BAZALGETTE, the Engineer and the Clerk to the Board, is to wait on Sir BENJAMIN HALL, the Chief Commissioner of Works, and submit for his approval what the Metropolitan Board have done in relation to the sewerage. The fun of the affair (doleful enough) is—this is in decided antagonism to what the Chief Commissioner is bound to insist on, and as perverse an evasion of duty as it is foolish, both parties being fully aware that it is so. A thorough command of countenance would seem to be indispensable to either, in presenting or receiving a plan which, after being twice re jected, has again been decided on. It is just possible, however, Sir BENJAMIN HALL may see no fun in the matter, and while taking the onus attempted to be thrust on him may administer a stern rebuke to the miserable incompetents whose petty spleen directed against him will infallibly recoil on themselves, because injurious in its effects to the public. The head of the deputation, if opposed, as he is said to be, to the plan, can hardly be further mortified, and certainly so far as the members are concerned reproof was never better deserved. Sir BENJAMIN cannot well ad minister it with too great severity, provided he does so in a manner divested of all traces of per- sonality. The members of the Board will find themselves to have been grievously deceived when they de cided on so disreputable a course. The cry of economy, on which they expect to evade the duty with impunity, is not likely to serve their turn. The real animus of their procedure is seen through, and they must not look for sympathy from the intelligent population. It was not to indulge in squabbles or set themselves in perverse hostility- to the Board of Woiks they were re turned by the Local Boards.. It was to grapple with mighty evils—evils affecting the health and welfare of a population larger than goes to consti tute a European kingdom—evils whose ravages may be seen in many a wasted form and many an untimely grave. It was to render London a healthy metropolis, worthy of the greatest calm try on the face of the globe—a task worthy of freemen, involving the highest credit to those who achieved it, and the deepest disgrace to those who proved themselves unequal to it. That the Board is not in the way of earning the honour, but has already achieved the disgrace, will hardly admit , of doubt, The plan they have decided on and zassed through the streets on their departure, I can inform you that his Majesty was in no very laughing mood." The Vienna correspondent of the Times (second edition) in bis letter of Oct. 30, says : " On the 14th orl.sth inst., the Allied Powers forwarded to St. Petersburg a note, or notes, in which it was said that they must still insist on the cession to Moldavia of the new town of Bol grad, which lies at the north-eastern extremity of the Lake of Yalpucd. There cannot be a doubt that Russia has attempted to take undue advan tage of the incorrectness of the map which was used at the Paris Conference, but the allies, and more particularly France, are so very desirous to get the frontier question settled, that they are willing to cede to Russia a rich valley which lies between the rivers Yalpuck and Yalpujek, if she will make no further difficulties about the cession of New Bolgrad. It seems that France pro rosed to cede the territory in question as an . " indemnification," b u t E ng l an d , A ustr i a, an d Turkey objected to the use of the word, as it would have been an indirect confession that Russia had some claim :to New Bolgrad. It not believed that the Russian Government will consent to let the Bessarabian frontier line pass to the North of New Bolgrad—that is, be tween Bolgrad (Tabak) and the new town on the Lake of Yalpuck ; as it must be perfectly well known at St. Petersburg that very serious misun derstandings have recently arisen between the allied Powers. The Vienna papers have received instructions not to say anything which could give umbrage to the Emperor Napoleon, but still the relations between the Austrian and French Go vernments are far from being satisfactory. A person who is perfectly well-informed of what is passing in the political world tells me that the foundation for an alliance between France and Russia is already laid, and that the fact is as well known in England as it is in Austria."

Many vexed questions still remain which must be finally and satisfactorily _disposed of before the Precious Treaty can be regarded as anything better than a mere temporary armistice —a suspension of hostilities sufficient to enable Russia to regain her exhausted strength, and RI sow dissension between her two most formidable opponents. With France and England cordially united she knows that she is unable to cope either by sea or land. But what she cannot ac complish by force she strives to achieve by fraud, and is little solicitous as to the means, provided the object ba gained. She is playing a cunning game—not trusting entirely to the fickle goddess, but lending mate rial assistance to the vagaries of her " humorous ladyship." She assumes a variety of rrotean shapes, in order to discover and experimentalise on the weak points of those who may be worth winning.

It was fortifying the environs, of which it had obtained possession after having defeated the Affghans, 6,000 orwhom had surrendered. VIENNA; SUNDAY, Nov. 2. On the 23d October it was definitively settled at Constantinople between the Porte, England, and Austria, that the occupation of the Black Sea and Danubian Principalities should be prolonged. The Bisorgintento, of the 30th ult., has the fol- lowing : " Several chests filled with arms, and addressed to Leghorn, have been siezed at Avenza. The whole of the officers of the Customs have recently, by order of the Government, been incorporated with the troops of the line ; great numbers com plain of the arrangement, and demand their dis charge. On the 6th several young men who had belonged to the British Italian Legion were arrested at Frizzano, to which place they had had the im prudence to return. What will Lord Normanby, who appears to be on such excellent terms with the Duke of Modena, say to this !" According to a St. Petersburg journal of the 20th, the garrison of Nicolaieff now consists of 10,000 men. A letter from St. Petersburg of the 25th ult., in the Deutschland of Berlin says : "It appears by a letter from Nicolaieff that the greatest activity prevails in the building-yards in that port, where not only vessels of war, but mer chant vessels are being constructed. The ships of war which are to be stationed in the Black Sea and in the Sea of Azoff, will be strong. They will be composed of three divisions—that is to say, of 12 vessels, frigates, corvettes, and others, all screw steamers, constructed on the most approved system." We learn from St. Petersburg that, to "oblige France," the Emperor of Russia has not prohi bited the export of corn from the Sea of Azoff. The export of corn is prohibited in all the ports of the kingdom of Greece. The Paris correspondent of the Post (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " Whilst the Emperor of the French appears to be entertaining his Court at Compiegne with hunting and feasting, very grave political questions are being settled, which are interesting to every country in Europe. Lord Cowley was invited to remain there from the beginning until the end of the fetes, an honour which no other ambassa dor has received. This may be taken as a mark of regard and confidence towards England, and a proof that his Majesty wishes the English Minister to be present on all and every occasion when foreign affairs are discussed, The Em peror has generally a motive in his proceedings, and in all probability his desire to unite the representatives of foreign countries round the Imperial table was intended to create a good understanding between their respective Govern ments. To-morrow the Russian Ambassador will arrive at Compiegne, and I have reason to know that his Excellency's visit will not be confined to amusement only. It is probable we shall hear some satisfactory explanations have taken Place ; or, on the other hand, that France has no longer the slightest hesitation with re ference to the Serpents' Island question, or the necessity of occupying the Principalities with some force—Austrian, or a combined con tingent from England and France united with that which already garrisons the Principalities. The Emperor is perfectly aware that the execution of the treaty of Paris is as necessary for the honour of France and the future tranquillity of Europe as her Britannic Majesty's Government, and there can be little doubt of the Imperial will failing when it is demanded by justice and honour. All depends on the Emperor ; he gives little latitude to his Mi nisters, nor do they influence him on great occasions. Sometimes, indeed, his instructions are not carried out precisely in the spirit which dictated them. Of this foreign Courts never fail to avail them selves, as well as of the peculiarities of particular Ministers —seeking even to create jealousy be tween England and France. This is the most which the people of both countries have to fear ; and this may be materially counteracted in head quarters at Compiegne, where many weighty ques tions will assuredly receive a solution. I can hear of nothing which is not likely to find that solu tion favourable to an united diplomacy forcing Russia to observe the articles of the treaty of peace." The Paris Correspondent of the Times (second edition), in his letter dated yesterday, says : " Notwithstanding the rumours that circulated yesterday respecting the probability of a change in the King of Naples' sentiments, I much doubt if any hope of the kind is entertained in official quarters here. King Ferdinand seems deter mined to exemplify in his person the well-known maxim about madness preceding ruin. What interval will be allowed Between these two stages of his career remains to be seen. His Majesty and his Majesty's advisers have amused them selves a good deal at the expense of the Al lies ; Neopalitan ingenuity has been exhausted in ridiculing oar intervention and our retreat. Perhaps our position is not the most flattering, but the wits of Naples should not forget the old proverb, Elm le mieux qui rira le dernier.' When the representatives of France and England PERSIA. We extract the following from a letter dated Constantinople, Oct. 23 :—"The news from Persia is serious, and this is a ground on which England will probably encounter Russian diplomacy. It is now certain that England has sent an ultimatum to Persia, but the Shah does not seem muck dis posed to yield. The Persian Government was all along aware of the preparations of the English in India for the expedition to the Persian Gulf. All this, however, did not produce great sensation at Teheran. It was not believed that they would advance into the interior of the provinces, or would go beyond Bender-Bouchir, whiel. was formerly a very flourishing city, but now in ruins. Though the English expedition is only composed of about 15,000 men, it is doubt ful whether, if it passes the Bakhtir mountains and advances into the province of Shiraz, the Shah's army can offer any serious resistance. But Rus sia, who so often interfered in the affairs of Persia, would probably oppose the march of the English army. The latest advices were to the effect that Herat was on the point of falling into the hands of the Persians. M. Buhler, a French officer, who directs the siege works, does not doubt of success. All the strong positions which surround the town, from Pouchenga-Denhoy and Isfigar to Ziarclyn, were occupied by the Persians." FRANCE , . PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING. The Patrie says that the Ottoman Ministry, whose resignation the Sultan recently refused to accept, has at length definitively retired, and a new Ministry, with Reschid Paella at its head, has come into power. For the moment, remarks the Patrie, the policy favourable to the continued oc cupation of the Black Sea and the Principalities by England and Austria has triumphed. Saturday being one of the greatest holidays in the year (All Saints Day), the Bourse and public offices were closed, and there was no evening papers. The morning papers did not contain a line of news. Most of the shops have been closed all day, and the only exception to the universal character o; the fete was the assemblage of the little Bourse, which met in considerable force for a couple of hours in the morning. RUSSIA. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. I.—Count:Walewski, the French Foreign Minister (a Pole), is to have the Polish estates of his family restored to him again for his services to the Czar in the late war. In Moscow, during the coronation, the Russians al ways spoke of M. do Monty, the French Ambassa dor Extraordinary—behind his back—as a fortunate speculator. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 27th contain no political news of interest. The Railway Gazette sags that it is not true that the credit companies in Spain have, as has been reported, protested against the decree suspending, the sale of the national property. The Danish minister, who had been dan gerously ill, was considered likely to recover. A let ter from a ministerial source says :—" The rumours that have been in circulation during the last two days as to a ministerial crisis are un founded ; the Queen continuos to place con fidence in Marshal Narvaez. Several Paris journals have published letters and articles which assert that the Queen had demanded chat the property belonging to the clergy should be restored, and that the Marquis de Viluma had been summoned to form a ministry in the room of Narvaez. But there is no truth in these statements. Large quantities of wheat have arrived from the provinces, and a fall in price in this city is to be expected. It was reported that 100,000 bushels have been pur chased at Marseilles. There is a rumour of esta blishing, under the presidency of M. Mon, an association for promoting the cause of free trade in this country. In addition to the in corporation of the provincial m iliti a in the army, the Government thinks of forming a re serve, which will be ready to t a k e arms at the first summons. The news from C a t a l on i a continues to be satisfactory, but two leading democ ra t s be longing to the province have been exiled to the Canaries." AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, Nov.' 2. The Royal mail steamer Niagara has arrived with advices from Boston to the 22d ult., and $255,374 specie on freight. The Niagara passed ou the 31st the Baltic, hence for New York. The Arabia, hence, had arrived at Halifax, and the Delta, from Havre, at Boston, on the 22d. The majority of the Fillmore and Donalson Com mittee in Pennsylvania had refused to unite with the Fremont party in joint electoral ticket. This would divide the Opposition votes. In norida the Democratic Governor had been elected by upwards of 4,000 majority. According to the Herald, the Congressional elec tion so far showed a gain of 52 Ettembers in ten States for the Democratic party. A despatch from Cincinnati of the 21st ult. says:-- " Returns from 88 donaties in Indiana, partially offi cial are rec e i ve d. Th e D emocra ts claim Willard'a elec tion by 7,000 majority, while the Republicans give in 5,500. The Democrats have six Congressmen and the Republicans probably five, but the returns are still in complete, and we cannot give the positive result for Congressmen." Another despatch says : " The Congressional vote in Ohio shows the election of eight Democrats and 12 Republicans. This does not include L. D. Campbell's district, as the election of th a t gentleman is to be contested by his opponent on the ground of illegal voting. The Union Convention to form an anti-Buchans4 electoral ticket assembled at Harrisburg on the 21st: Most of the counties in the Senate were repre sented. A committee was appointed to form au electoral ticket, who reported the same ticket as agree dupon by the Union C omm i ttee of Phila delphia. A session of the Episcopal Convention was held at Philadelphia on the 21st, at which Mr. Bucha nan attended. The House of Deputies was notified that the House of Bishops had erected Kansas and Nebraska into a separate missionary diocese, and nominated the Rev. Dr. Clarke, of Waterbury (Connecticut), bishop. A debate ensued and much opposition was manifest e d t o the erection of the diocese, as it deprived Bishop Kemper of a portion of his missionary field. A resolution was offered declaring it inexpedi ent at t h e presen t ti m e to create the diocese. This resolution was negatived. Judge Chambers, of Maryland, submitted another resolution, declaring it expedient to form the diocese, the mover's object being to defeat the mea sure, as he expressed a determination to vote against his own resolution. A spirited debate en sued upon the motion, pending which a recess was taken till the evening. The returns (unofficial) from Pennsylvania indi cate that the Democrats have carried the State by no less than 4,000 majority. " The victory of Buchanan (says the Herald) and a Democratic majority in Congress, sweep at once to the winds and to oblivion all the efforts of the North in re ference to slavery, and all their aims with regard to its non-extension. It will confirm and inaugurate the doctrines of the Ostend manifesto, and proclaim to the world that the Government of the United Stater, with the full and deliberate sanction of the people, was prepared to wrest Cuba from its rightful owners. The Herald ascribes the check received by the Fremont party to a variety of flaws in the organisa tion and discipline of the R e p u bli c an party rtself. Under the heading " Never Flinch," the New York Tribune says : " Republicans,—The last report from Pennsylvania leaves no doubt of a Bachanan majority at the State election. The State ticket of that party is chosen by some 5,000 majority in between 400,000 and 500,000 votes. That majoiity can be overcome at the Presiden ial election just at hand. We do not say that it will be. Thousands of votes are polled illegally by the winning arty. They may or may not be able to repeat the ope ration. On the other hand, there are thousands Of Quakers and other quiet citizens who will vote for Pre' , ident who did not vote at the State election. On at (east two former occasions the gains to our side between he State and the Presidential election were amply la r g e ,nough to secure us a triumph. Now, it may be so ,gain." The Washington correspondent of the New York Uerald states that the Secretary of War had trans erred nearly all, if not quite all, the troops from the ports on the Virginia coasts to other stations :--- " Strange and startling as it may appear, I am 101 ;hat this has been done for political effect. It is "' enable th 9 democracy of Virginia, by an apparent peP°' tar insurrection, to seize those ports about a week before ,he election, as an indication and earnest, indeed, of what Governor Wise, Jeff Davies, Governor Adams ° south Carolina, and their followers, intend to do if Fre' nont shall be elected to the Presidency. It is a trick to frighten the North." Carpentier, the Northern Railway of Franc„. e swindler, had been captured near N e wburg wh i l e in bed at night. He was worki ng on a farm' disguise. In Kansas 250 emigrants, men, women, an d children, had been stopped near the Nebraska I ', o. by a deputy marshal, disarmed and placed und er surveillance.

The lamented death of Sir John Jervis, Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, has given rise to much conjecture in legal circles as to his successor, and, as is usual in such cases, many names are mentioned, embracing men of both sides of politics. Tho rumour most prevalent, and which we think most to be relied on, is that the seat has been offered to the present Attorney-General, but that for certain reasons that learned gentleman has thought fit to decline its acceptance. The refusal of Sir A. Cockburn, and the scarcity of men of eligibility to occupy the seat from those who are supporters of the present Government, has rendered it necessary for the Government to look elsewhere, and it is not at all improbable it will be in the di rection of Sir F. Thesiger, and that if he will ac cept the seat it will be bestowed on him. It is difficult to say at present what has induced the learned Attorney-General to pursue this course. It is a great disappointment to more than one legal gentleman, and had he accepted the seat, report states that the present Solicitor-General would have filled his place as Attorney-General, and that Mr. Collier, Q.C. and M.P. for Plymouth, would have succeeded him as Solicitor-General. MONETARY AFFAIRS. The state of monetary affairs in this country con• tinues to be very remarkable. By the last Bank Re. turn the bullion had again decreased by 379,5851., and the total amount was 9,760,4821. In the panic 0f,1847 the amountof bullion for several weeks stood at between seven and eight millions ; we have, therefore, not much more than a million more bullion in the Bank than we then had. _ _ But circumstances have in the meanwhile changed. The greatest change arises from the immense gold dis coveries of California and Australia. These inspire a confidence in renewed supplies of gold which nothing else could give. However great the exportation there is a strong persuasion in the public that importation will supply the deficiency. The Bank, moreover, ap. parently acting in this belief, has not thought it neces sary to adopt such stringent measures as would other wise be requisite. In the meanwhile the monetary alarm in Paris has by no means subsided, nor can we, at present, see any sound reason for expecting any im portant improvement in the state of affairs. While we are ready to admit that extensive corn purchases, and the large foreign undertakings of the Credit Mobilier and the exportation of bullion to the armies in the Crimea, may have bad their effect, it ap pears to us that the great reason of the drain of silver bullion from the French Bank, and the consequent drain of gold from this country, have arisen from the very unwise enactments which are allowed to remain in France with respect to the silver coinage. It pays in France to melt the coin and sell it as bullion. Thus it has been a trade to get coin from the bank, melt it down into bars, and sell it again to the bank at a profit. Can human absurdity with regard to money get beyond this ? And why should such a process stop? As long as it is profitable to melt down silver and sell it to the bank, or export it, why should there be a' cessation of this process ? The French government is trying indeed to put down this traffic by legal penalties. The common sense method is to render the exporta tion in melting of money an unprofitable business. But this at present the French government, either from ignorance or timidity, have neglected to do. And the commerce and trade of the co untr y suffer accord ingly. The people are beco min g disaffected and the government unpopular.—Deebyskiee Courier. - - THE LORD MAYOR ELECT,—Mr. Alderman Finnic, the Lord Mayor elect, attended this morning at the residence of the Lord Chancellor, accompanied by the Recorder and the other officers of the Corporation, when his lordship was introduced to the Lord Chan cellor by the Recorder, and received her Majesty's ap proval of the choice of the livery.
