FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres, Oct. ls.) Pa ass, OCT. 14.-A Morning Paper contains the fol lowing paragraph :- " Some persons, who have lately arrived from Ponape luna, a ffi rm that they there saw proclamations p o sted up, which they read, and in which the soldiers were informed, that they will very soon enter France to restore the Go vernment of legitimacy with Charles X. " They are at the same time enjoined to observe the the strictest discipline, and not to ill-treat any person in French territory." Th es e statements, borrowed from the Sentinelle de Bayonne, are wholly fictitious. Another journal (the National) als speaks of the hostile preparations of the Spanish Gov o ernment, and an nounces that " On the '7th of this month, the police seized, at Bayonne, a secret despatch addressed to the Spanish Consul, and that this seizure caused a violent altercation between the Spanish Consul and the Sub-Prefect." We are able to assert that the Government has received no newts of this kind. According to all appearance, the National has been led into error by its correspondent. In general we must distrust these correspondents who amuse themselves in raising battalions and setting armies in motion in a country which wants both men and money. All these great movements of troops on the frontiers of Spain amount to no more than some changes of garrisons. The Messager, having dwelt on the importance of the debate upon the amendment of M. Merilhon, on which it says the fate of the new Peerage depends, and having highly commended the speech of M. Dupin, senior, adds the following :- " P. S. The ideas of Government so well laid down by the President of the Council, Messrs. Guizot, Barthe, Dusnon, Thiers, and especially by M. Dupin, senior, in the two sittings of yesterday and to-day, have obtained a complete triumph. Honour to the majority of the Cham ber ! M. Merilhou's amendment has been rejected by a majority of 58. " In rejecting the amendment the Chamber has conse quently rejected the system of candidateship. " Numerous marks of satisfaction were manifested by the great majority of the assembly when the result was declared."

We have just received the Paris Papers of Saturday, and the Messager and Gazette dated yesterday. The appearance of the internal situation of France con tinued to be rather gloomy. Several cases of assassination by the Chouans had occurred in the West, which, together with other proceedings of the Carlist party, would render strong measures necessary. The accounts of the revenue for the quarter just expired, present a surplus of about 72,0001. over those for the corresponding one of last year, but were not considered by the public as e stablishing that a positive improvement had taken o n oce. The discussion of the Peerage question continued ccupy the Chamber of Deputies. The amendment proposed by M. Merilhou for rendering it imperative on the King to select Peers from lists presented by the Electoral Colleges, was rejected by a majority of 58. Other subsequent amendments proposed by the opposition were equally rejected—in short, our original prediction will be accomplished—the projet pretty nearly as submitted by Ministers will be adopted. Lord Granville arrived in Paris on Friday night. The trifling fall that has taken place in the funds today is attributed to the adoption of M. Moshourg's amendment in the Peerage law on Friday.

STRASBURG (WEST PRUSSIA), OCT. s.—The Polish army has this day crossed the Prussian frontier, and laid down its arms at Jastizembien. When two divisions had already laid sown their arms, an action began between the rear of the Polos and the Russians. A Prussian officer was immediately seat to the Russian General, to acquaint him with the state of affairs, on which General Doctoroff, who commanded the van of the Russians, immediately put an end to the combat, and the passage over the frontier proceeded without interruption. The following is the state of the Polish army General in-Chief Rybinski ; Chief of the Staff, General Lewenski ; Intendant Gene ral, Dobiezki; Generals of Division, Dembinski and Woye aenski, and seven Brigadier Generals : three divisions of infantry, eonsisting of twelve regiments, six batteries; two divisions of cavalry, fifteen regiments, two batteries; a reserve of artillery of four batteries, a park of artillery, and one battalion of sappers. WARSAW, OCT. 4.—The Warsaw Gazette publishes officially the account of the military movements which led to the passage of the Polish army into the Prussian ter ritory. It also states officially the number of Generals and Officers of all ranks that return to Warsaw daily in masses; during the last two days it was above a hundred, not including those who, on leaving the Polish army, have either gone to the head-quarters of the Emperor's army, or returned to their families. The soldiers follow the ex :Ample of their officers, they lay down their arms by thou sods, and make their submission. Numerous functionaries, both civil and military, who had left this city, continue to return to it. The post from Thorn and Posen arrives regularly. The post between the city and Cracow has been re-established. Arrivals from Cracow say that Prince Adam Czar toryski is still in that ci'ty. BERLIN.— CHOLERA. New c:ses. Recoveries. Deaths. Oct. 8.

I3.—The Princes are expected from the army on Saturday, in order to be pre.ent at the opening of the Session of the States-General on Monday. We hear that the financial laws which are to be proposed have been drawn up and submitted to the Council of State. It is expected that taxes will be imposed on some articles that have hitherto been exempt, for instance turf and coals. A commission has been appointed by Government to go and examine into the nature of the cholera at Berlin. It consists of Professor P. Hendriksz, of Groningen ; Dr. Becker, principal physician to the hospital at Utrecht; and M. Aunlzencus, local surgeon to the militia of Am sterdam. They are on the point of setting out, and are to remain six weeks at Berlin. Though the Java Journals last received make no nata tion of any troubles in our Eaat India possessions, it ap pears from private letters that there have recently been disturbances at Padang, in Samolia, though not of so serious a 'nature as represented in the English papers. The following is the substance of these letters, which come down to the 17th June ;—• " Both the Malays and the Padries, who have often manifested hostile dispositions towards our Government, took advantage of the small nicumbfaer ed of our throeps to ma oilyke attacks at different parts, whh il n object through their own want of courage. In December last year the chief of the thirteen kottas, an extensive district in the interior, came with a numerous suite to Padang, to demand in arias the redress of some grievauces which they complained they had suffered from our Govern ment. The Pesident having come to an agreement with them, they were ready to depart, but their attendants, who had come with the hope of plunder, were not satisfied, and began to commit excesses in the neighlmur hood, on which the two troops at Padang went out and at tacked them, and succeeded in putting them to flight, but the communication with the thirteen kottas was in terrupted for some time. " About the same time a rebel chief had fortified himself in a kampong, near Priaman, so strongly, that an attempt of our troops, supported by seamen from the Pollen, to expel him from the kampong failed, and no further at tempt had been made. " In Jana the fort of Ayer Bangies, between Natal and Priaman, was attacked by a strong body of Padries, the Commander, who was a serjeant, and his corporal having been killed, a private soldier took the command of the gar rison and preserved the fort, alter an obstinate defence of several days. as Some time afterwards Natal was totally burnt by the Padries, and the g arrison and inhabitants obliged to re treat into the fort, where they were besieged on the land side by the Padries, and on the sea side by Malay and , Aehen boats. They, however, made a vigorow. sally, and drove away the enemy, so that the siege was already raised on the arrival of the reinforcements from Padang. Meantime there is nothing to he feared for Padang, as Lieut.-Colonel Elout, the new Resident, has arrived there' with 300 men. These disturbances, however, are very detrimental to trade—and the more so from the want of ships of war to clear the coast of pirates. The latest letter from Padang, of the 17th of June, says:— " I have the pleasure to announce that the Govern went is taking serious measures to restore tranquillity in this colony. A new reinforcement of 600 troops has arrived with the achoner Cork,' which will remain stationed on this coast. Our troops have made them selves masters of most of the fortifications raised by the Malays, without much resistance, but few or none of the rebels were taken. A reward has been offered for the head of the chief insurgent, but hitherto without effect." BERLIN, OCT. 10.—The accounts from Warsaw, which are to the sth, are of course of less importance than they used to be, and this time there are little more than reports respecting the retreat of Prince Czirtoryski, the arrest of Professor Lelewels, &c. The cholera having appeared at Magdeburg and Bres law, the King has ordered the sanitary cordon in Silesia, Brandenburg, and Saxony, to be abolished. AMSTERDAM, OCT. 14.

This will do away with all remonstrances respecting the enteiance of Russian troops in the neutral territory.

To this it may be an. swered, see what they have done ; and having done as they have, the next question is, how ought they to be served ? This :I will not answer at present, on account of the agitated state of the public mind. I will recommend, however, to their noticc the question that is now before the French Parliament, whether or not the Peerage should be hereditary. The recent conduct of the English Peers will be urged as a reason by those who are against a hereditary Peerage, that it is better that the Peerage should be for life only, as then the probability is, that such men as the Marquis of Londonderry, Lord Wharncliffe, the Earl of Winchilsea, the Duke of Newcastle, Lord Bolton, the Earl of Portsmouth, the Archbishop of Canterbury, with his twenty clerical companions, and the other imbeciles in the House of Lords, would never have found their way into it ; and it is a moot question whether the nation should or not, when the public mind becomes settled, send petitions to the King and the lower House of Parliament, stating it to be their opinion that the Peerage should be only for life ; and the Bishops to be sent to their House of Convocation, and to be permitted to debate only on clerical affairs. We call the Chinese ignorant and unlet tered, but we may take a lesson from them at present; they have three orders of nobility, called mandarins ; the inferior order are chosen by the people themselves ; if one of the second order dies, his successor is chosen from the inferior order by the members of that order ; and when one of the superior order dies, his place is filled from the second in like manner. So that those who are to be governed elect their governors, a most just and proper method. If we knew the reason why each of our spiri.. Vaal and temporal Peers were made, it would give us a great deal of information much wanted at the present time. As to the spiritual Peers, they are of such recent elevation that almost every one now alive recollects it. The Archbishop of Canter bury may thank his rise to the pride of the Abercorn family, and his well known speech in the House of Lords, asserting that the King could do no wrong legally or morally. The Bishop of Durham was translated to his See by the late Earl of Liver pool, in order to avoid a collision between the Legge and Pel ham families. The Bishop of Winchester was so made for rea sons which the Marchioness of Conyngham can best explain. It might be said that very many of the Upper House were made for reasons that would not bear the test of examination. I hope, Mr. Editor, that Earl Grey having seen the bad spirit which has now shown itself so strongly in the House of Lords will act with it in the same unceremonious manner which Mr. Pitt would have done ; let him turn out of office every Peer who has voted against Reform, such as Lords-Lieutenants of Coun ties and Colonels of Militia, and also all Pittites of every de scription in all offices under Government. Let him re flect that whatever delicacy he may have towards them, they have none towards him. They will oppose him in and out of Parliament, and as Sheridan of " all the ta lents," said, that they had built a wall to run their heads against, so I say, that by letting these remain In office, they leave so many stumbling blocks to throw them out of power, and who will be a nuisance while they remain in office. Mr. Pitt said that he that is not with me is against me, and acted accordingly ; and by so doing he kept himself in office, and left as a legacy to the nation the lump of the majority of 199 who have shown themselves the willing disciples of such a recreant master. CATO. CITY—SATURDAY EVENING.—A good deal of discussion has taken place in the City to-day rela tive to the report that it is the intention of the Ministers to prorogue Parliament till after Christmas, and conse quently to defer the Reform Bill till that period. We know not whether this be the intention of Ministersor not, but this we do know, that it is almost universally consi dered a moat unwise project. No one doubts the sincerity of Ministers, or fears the success of the Anti-Reformers by such delay. All, however, do fear that it may risk the popularity of the Government, endanger the peace of the country, and lead to the introduction of measures of a much more sweeping and democratic nature than is con sistent with the preservation of our excellent Constitution. Besidee, providing none of these things should take place, the nation will be kept in a state of excitement almost un bearable, while business, as a necessary consequence, will be nearly wholly suspended, A day's more delay, in bringing forward the great measure, than is absolutely required, is pregnant with a degree of danger which those who are not acquainted with the mischief that its long discussion has already worhed in the trade of the country, can form no idea of. Indeed, as tradesmen and manufacturers justly observe, the nation cannot be kept much longer in a state of suspense. The stopping of business, which is inevitable upon delay, will of itself bring about a crisis too dreadful to be contemplated. For our part we hope and trust that the report we have alluded to is wholly unfounded. In fact we have reason to helieve that it is so, having been as sured by no mean authority, 4;4 the prorogation will cer tainly not exceed three weeks.—Morning Herald. The efforts of the House of Lords to 4pfeat the wishes of the nation are as vain and foolish as was the attempt of the monarch of old to bind the waves of the ocean by throwing fetters into them. As good often emerges out of evil, we have no doubt that the machinations of the Lords will ultimately recoil upon their own heads— that they will be shorn of their power, 4nd be taught that if they wish to maintain their " order" and station, and to secure the ponfidence, esteem, and gratitude of the county, they must keep pule with the increasing intelligence and growing liberality of the age, and show that they have no objects or interests distinct from those of the community at large. We apply this remark more particularly La the Bishops, who Wye made themselves exceedingly obnoxious by the vote which they gaye with regard to the Bill. We understand that placards have movie their appearance in all parts of the country calling upon the people to resist the payment of tithes and rates of every kind, although we denounce all unconstitutional opposition to every law that is ye,t unrepealed, we are by no means sorry to learn that public in,clignation has been excited against the " Right Reverend and f,earoad jlench of Bishops ' that the propriety of their connection with the House of Veers is undergoing discussion, and that the state of their "venerable establishment" is made the sub ject of strong reprobation. We hear much of the infide lity of the Press, but we are not of the tti,e' ptical and " age of reason" number, who delight to ridicule the dignita:ics of the Church, and the system of which they are the mitred and titled beads. It is because we wish to see the Principles of religion honoured and inculcated by the Bishops that we would remove them from the arena pf politi> al discuseions and translate them to their diocesan charges and duties. !t is because they have almost uni formly opposed the rights of the people and given their support to every system of error and abuse that we would deprive them of the power of doing further discredit to their own chamters, and of inflicting additional injury upon the nation, and that we would confine them to a sphere in which they are too little found, and in which they might da an immensity of good. iLt if because we desire the prosperity and prevalence of our "most hell faith" that we are pleased to contemplate the part which they have taken against the inettiP/1 of Reform, for we predict that it will be the means of basce4in the day when the impurities and abominations of which they baye so long been the abetters both in Church and State will be completely removed,--,Liperrol chronicle, SHIPPING INTEL: ,LIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

During the late hnpripane at Aux Cayes, the sea rose to a tremendous height, 404 occasioned the loss of 600 persons. Great apprehensions are again entertained in the city respecting the progress of the cholera moiling. Itseems tobe generally a s there fearedis great reason to believe , it ;4t if the disease has real l y got tto Hamburg, will be nearly impossible to prevent its reaching this country. The only circumstances from which some hope is entertained that we may escape this scourge, are our insular position, and the neutralising powers of the sea air on the misasma which has baffled every kind of impe diment hitherto attempted to be opposed to its progress over land. The only case known yet in which it is sup posed that the cholera was hronbt by a sea conveyance, I 8 that of Abo, in Finland, which we ineotio4ed some days ago; but it does not appear that its communication by the mean? gsted has been very satisfactorily ascertained ; and it ought to be rewerphered that the distance between Abo and the places which were previously infected, is a great deal shorter than Hamburg is from England. From Aevel to Finland'across, the passage is only of a few Tines, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—We have had a week of great anxiety and excitement. We waited till yesterday before a meeting was convened, in the mean time the firmness of ithe King and House of Commons Materially tranquilized the public feeling. The meeting was much greater than we ever had in this town. The address to the King and resolutions were much to the effect of those agreed to at the Mansion-house, with the ex ception of the strongest expression of detestation at the Jesuitical conduct of the Bishops; the meeting exhibited a firm confidence that the Bill would shortly be passed, and that it was the duty of every one to prevent any acts of violence. I am, Sir, yours obediently, J. C. The Bishops have given a mortal blow to the Established Church. GREENOCK, OCT. 13. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Strong as the excitement may be in England at the rejection of the Reform Bill, in Scotland this feeling is doubly intense, the gloom that pervades all ranks baffles description, in fact the people are merely kept from acts of violence, by the hope that the King and the Ministry will stand by them. The influential Reformers, in the West of Scotland, are most assiduously inculcating the propriety of order. God forbid that a resignation of the Ministry should take place, for in all human probability disorder and anarchy would ensue. Then the infatuated 199 Lords, who have dashed from the lips of the sons of the mountain the cup of freedom, will assuredly, as the sunsets, regret their rash steps : their act may be constitu tional, but is no less daring, as it is an act in defiance of the petitions and entreaties of a united people. When the announcement of the fate of the Bill took place here, the astounding exclamation from thousands was what shall be done, what shall be done? And to allay the forthcoming storm, an address was instantly got up to his Majesty, recom mending our beloved Sovereign to stand by his Ministry. At the same time our town band struck up the dead march, when thousands walked in procession in solemn silence. Sir, so determined are all classes in this quarter, to have what we call Grey's Bill, that there is no act, however desperate, but they would undertake for its accomplishment. The formation of a national guard is about being formed, while I write the walls of the town are placarded, urging the propriety of this measure, so that lives and property may be pro tected. In conclusion, let the King and the Ministry but say march, and the West of Scotland will assuredly send forth legions that are not be contemned by the Hero of Waterloo, and his satellites the boroughmongers. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, A SCOTCH REFORMER. thiETER, OCT. 15. In accordance to a requisition to the Mayor, signed by 106 of the most respectable inhabitants, a meeting took place this day, for the purpose of " taking into consideration the best means to be adopted in support of the King and his Ministers, in this im portant crisis, in consequence of the House of Lords having re jected the Reform Bill." The Right Worshipful the Mayor took the chair. Sir H. P. Davies, Bart., with much eloquence, moved the address to his Majesty, which expressed a loyal devotion to his person and the utmost confidence in his Ministers. It was seconded by Captain Buller, who exhorted the meeting above all things not to in any way break the peace, but added, that he did not by his exhortation, for a moment advocate that peace which implied non.resistance to oppression, or passive obedience to in justice. Colonel Molesworth, who enjoys a pension from the East India Company, proposed an amendment. He declared himself a warm advocate for Reform, but, on saying the Bill had been nobly resisted in the House of Lords, groans and hisses burst from nearly the entire multitude. Mr. Stennaway, in order, as ha said, if possible to unite the citizens on this impor tant occasion, moved another amendment, which only went to express disapprobation of the franchise being given to 101. house holders. A third amendment was proposed on the second, to the purport that those who were disfranchised, by being below the proposed rental, should be exempt from all taxation. This, evi. dently intended to catch the applause of the multitude, was only hailed as a trap, and was not seconded. The amendments ss ere lost by a large majority, and on the original address being put seven hands only were held up against it, and four of those were Parsons. Counsellor Tyrrell addressed the meeting with much ability. He gave an epitome of those Lords who had voted against the Bill—first commenting on the twenty-one holders of boroughs, and secondly on the twenty-one Reverend Bishops. Of the latter, he said they put him in mind of an old lady of his acquaintance, very shrewd in her way, but who, although en joying:wealth, health, and every comfort, was still very unhappy, fearing a change, and most sensibly fearing also that no change could do her any good. J. W. Buller, Esq., M.P. for the city, was present, and on thanks being voted to him for his able and consistent support of his Majesty's Ministers, addressed his con stituents in a very powerful speech, expressive of his full confi dence of the ultimate success of the measure so insolently re jected by the House of Lords. It was one of the fullest city meetings ever known, the Guildhall being crowded almost to suffocation. The known Reformers were loudly greeted with cheers as they entered the Hall ; and cheers were repeatedly given for his Majesty and his Ministers. Three groans were given for the Bishop, for Lord Rolle, and for Mr. Buck, the other Member for the city, who however was not present. The Mayor having declared the meeting dissolved, the multitude dis persed in the utmost order. BRISTOL, OCT. 15. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sra,—My attention has been directed to a calumnious article in a recent number of an obscure Journal# called the Standard, purporting to be a report of a meeting of the Bristol Political Union, held on Monday last in Queen -square. I 'can, without any great effort of imagination, give a shrewd guess at the au thor of that report. It is, perhaps, a misfortune for Bristol that we have a political Janus in the city—a spy in our camp, to whom Oliver Cromwell's words are peculiarly applicable, "You would, like Esau, sell your country for a mess of pottage, and, like Judas, betray your God for a few pieces ofsilver ; ' and it is, perhaps, still more to be regretted that the creature I have referred to !sin a situation well calculated to afford many oppor tunities for treachery to his friends and supporters, and syco phantic servility to his assumed opponents. The man who is a traitor to the cause he professes to espouse--the dependent on one party and the hireling of the other is he " whom tempting friends would pitch upon to do such deeds as make men lift up their hands and wonder who could do them." That the pre tended report is a tissue of glaring falsehoods is not surprising, for I can assure you that the orators were not slowly wheeled into the square in " a dung cart"—that there was no occasion for their waiting for the mechanics to return from " dinner," and, as to a "good dinner" with the particular class of honest men of whom I speak, they have, since the age of Tory misrule, been wofully out of fashion. The manifestation of popular feel. ing was astonishing, and had the thousands of spectators who were compelled to leave the square, from their inability to hear the speakers, remained upon the ground, there could not have been a much less number present in my opinion than 20,000, and in this opinion I am not singular, as many gentlemen calcu lated the numbers and brought their calculations to a similar conclusion.t The following extracts from the Bristol Liberal newspapers will give a moderate and fair idea of the meeting:— " Although only six hours previous notice was given, the mul titude in the square between one and two o'clock could not, we think, be estimated at less than from 12,000 to 15,000 men, all animated with the greatest enthusiasm, and anxious to testify, at the same moment, their love for a popular and gracious Monarch and their disgust at the treatment of the Reform Bill in the Upper House of Parliament. There were a considerable number of banners on the ground, some of which belonged to the trades, and were half-mast high." With regard to Mr. Herapath and Mr. Ham, I will leave their reputation in the hands of their fellow citizens, who best know how to appreciate their worth. That they are men of considerable talent cannot be doubted— that their exertions have been eminently calculated to improve the minds of their fellow citizens no one can deny, and that those exertions have been patriotic and successful, the vitupera tive attack of the " hireling scribe" "whose praise is censure, and whose censure praise," will sufficiently attest. With regard to my being a "surgeon's assistant," (I am assistant to my father), willing as lam to give this lying reporter every cre dit for the possession of more than ordinary folly. I cannot conceive him to be so outrageously stupid as to charge it against me as a crime, although I am said to be " very young." I do think it probable that this narrow.minded being has fallen into a similar error with Mr. Walpole, who taunted Mr. Pitt afterwards Lord Chatham, with his youth. The reply of the British Demosthenes was so conclusive that, conceiving it to be singularly applicable, I will close this leiter with a quotation from it I trust I maybe one of those whose follies cease with their youth, and not of that number who are ignorant in spite of experience. Whether youth can be imputed to any man as a reproach, I will not assume the province of deter mining ; but surely age may become justly contemptible if the opportunities which it brings have past away without improve ment, and vice appears to prevail when the passions have stib sided. The wretch that after seeing the consequences of a thousand errors continues still to blunder, and whose age has only added obstinacy to stupidity, is surely the object of either abhorrence or contempt, and deserves not that his grey head should secure him from insult. Much more is he to be abhorred who, as he has advanced in age, has receded from virtue, and becomp more wicked with less temptation—wno prostitutes him self for money which he cannot enjoy, and spends the remains of his life in the ruin of his country." I am, Sir, &c. G. F. P. _ 9, Cumberland-street, Drunswick,Square. • When I was informed of the existence of this calumny, for more than six hours (from eleven till half-past five) did I search various parts of the city, in the vain hope of obtaining a sight of the Standard ? not a " beer-house politician" took it in—not a 44 hole and corner`' was there in which I could End it until at last, at the suggeStion of a Rev. Friend of mine, I obtained a view of it in the Commercial-rooms, where it was perfectly disengaged. t In calculating a meeting, persons should bear in mind that , thirty..thr,Ge persons in each of four lines forming a square, will Lt I form a b6dy who solid of 1,0 a).

SIR,—A most respectable and numerous meeting was held here in the Guildhall of this city yesterday, which was after wards adjourned to the Cornhill, owing to the hall not beinglarge enough to hold thepersons assembled ; two waggons were brought as temporary hustings. The Mayor was in the chair, and Mr. Heneage, one of the city Members,was also present. The meeting had been convened by a requisition to his Worship, most respec tably and numerously signed by the inhabitants of Lincoln, for the purpose of preparing an address to our most Gracious Sovereign, and to petition the House of Commons on " the temporary failure of the Reform Bill in the Upper House of Parliament' I never witnessed at any former meeting of the citizens so much good humour or enthusiasm on any subject before—all were una nimous in the resolutions formed, that an address to his Majesty should be forwarded through the Secretary for the Home Depart ment, and a petition to the House of Commons by Mr. Heneage, M.P. for this city, signed by the male population of Lincoln. As the newspapers have reported that a petition from Lincoln, against the Reform Bill was presented to the House of Lords by the Duke of Wellington, one of the speakers asked if any man present, either wearing broad-cloth or a slop-frock, had seen or signed such a petition ? It was answered, " No, not one !" Be. fore the meeting separated , " God save the King" was sung with great feeling, and in good style, by the whole meeting, and three times four hearty loyal cheers, for good King William the Fourth. I am, Sir, your's faithfully, AN EYEWITNESS. ROYAL PREROGATIVE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Stn,—As the public mind is now so much alive to the neces sity of an increase in the number of Peers, and as many of your readers may wish to ascertain to what extent the Crown's prero gative has been usually exercised in that respect, I will thank you for insertion of the following : From collections now lying before me, I am enabled to form a calculation on this subject; and do find that, from the death of James 1., in 1623, to the Revolution of 1688, upwards of 173 Peerages were granted by the Crown ; and that, from the year 1688 (when, as some would have it, our Constitution was settled, and the prerogative restricted), to the accession of his late Ma jesty George IV., 575 Peerages were conferred, including ad vances and special remainders. The total number thus granted by the Crown amounts to 748, and though this calculation excludes all Scotch and Irish• titles, as also all those persons who were called by writ to the Upper House within that period, and though many creation patents may have been lost, or at least never enrolled, and others, indeed several others, may probably have escaped close research, still, however, we have an average of upwards of 93 English Peerages conferred by each of the eight Monarchs who occupied the throne between the years 1623 and 1821. The collections on which I ground the above average were made by me from the recorded evidence of creation patents, and such documents in the several public departments, and it must be satisfactory thus to find, by indisputable data, that his Ma jesty can yield to the pressure of a great national exigency, not only without exceeding the bounds prescribed by the long esta blished usage and practice of his predecessors, but also without exhausting those favours to which the eminent and deserving must be always thought entitled.—l am, Sir, &c. Jermyn-street, St. James's. W. L. • Of Irish Peerages alone there were upwards of 100 created in each reign from Charles I. to George 11. LORD WHARNCLIFFE. (From the Leeds Mercury.) The following document, signed by about three-fourths of the First Doncaster Troop of the Southern Regiment of West Riding Yeomanry Cavalry, was transmitted to Lord Wharncliffe, the commander of that regiment, on Thursday last, and would be received by his Lordship yesterday morning. Similar memorials are in course of signature from the other eleven troops of Lord Wharncliffe's regiment, namely, Wakefield, Pontefract, Barns ley, two Sheffield, Rotheram, Keaveton, Wentworth, Hatfield, Tickhill, and second Doncaster. This is a proceeding of more weight than even the opinions of the shopkeepers in Bond-street quoted so prematurely by his Lordship, and will effectually con vince him under how great an error he was labouring when he declared in the House of Lords, that he did not, in his con science, believe that the great mass of the people were in favour of the Reform Bill :" . To the Right Hon. Lord Wharncliffe, Colonel Commandant of the Southern Regiment of West Riding Yorkshire Yeo manry Cavalry, We, the undersigned members of the troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, with undiminished loyalty to our gracious Sovereign, with increasing zeal and anxiety for the peace, welfare, and hap piness of our country, as staunch advocates for the Bill of Re form (as passed by the Commons House of Parliament), being anxious to continue our services to the country at this fearful crisis of the nation's affairs, feel we cannot consistently continue those services under the command of one so diametrically op. posed to our sentiments and t,he best interests of our country. We therefore respectfully hope, that when your Lordship per ceives that you have forfeited the confidence of your troops, you will also perceive the propriety of resigning the command, that our services, however inefficient, may be continued under the command of another, whose sentiments and wishes are more in unison with our own, as with those of the great majority of the nation." COURT CIRCULAR. Their Majesties entertained the Princess Augusta, and Mr Van Buren, the Minister from the United States, Viscount Pal merston, the Marquis and Marchioness of Carmarthen, the Mar chioness Wellesley, and a select party, at dinner, on Saturday evening, at the Palace at St. James's. The King and Queen attended divine service at the Chapel Royal yesterday morning, and heard a very excellent sermon by the Rev. Mr. Randolph, from the 19th chapter of the Gospel of St. Matthew, and the 22d verse. The Rev. Dr. Hughes was the Clerk of the Closet in waiting. The church service was read by the Rev. Mr. Barham, and the Rev. Mr. Beckwith, jun. The Communion Service was read by the Rev. Mr. Holmes, the Sub-Dean. The Musical Service was Aldrich's, in A., and the anthem " Sing 0 Heavens," by Kent, was sung by Messrs. Wild, Neild, and Walsh. Sir G. Smart presided at the organ. The Marchioness Wellesley and Miss Eden were the ladies in waiting on the Queen. Among the nobility present were—the Marquis and Marchioness of Winchester, the Earl of Harrowby, the Earl of Gosford, Lord Suffield, Lord Haddington, &c. The Duke of Sussex and the Princess Sophia visited their Ma jesties yesterday. The King gave audiences yesterday to the Hanoverian Mi nister, Sir James Graham, and Mr. Stanley.

' The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria and suite, left Norris Castle, in the Isle of Wight, on Saturday, in the Emerald yacht. Their Royal Highnesses landed at Ports mouth, and immediately proceeded on their journey to Clare mont, where their Royal Highnesses are expected to pass some weeks. On Saturday, the Archduchess Helena and suite visited the Panorama of Madras, painted by Messrs. Daniell and Parris, with which they expressed themselves very much gratified. The Conference of the Ministers of the Five Powers on the affairs of Belgium, held at the Foreign-office on Friday after noon, broke up about six o'clock in the evening, but re-assembled between ten and eleven at night at the Foreign-office, and con tinued their deliberations for several hours. The Belgian Mi nister was occupied for a considerable time at the Foreign-office on Saturday afternoon with Viscount Palmerston. After the departure of his Excellency, the Ambassadors and Ministers of Russia, Austria, France, and Prussia, again assembled at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and held a conference with Viscount Palmerston. The sitting was not finally concluded till past five o'clock the following morning. A Cabinet Council was held at two o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl Grey, Viscounts Melbourne, Palmerston, Goderich, and Althorp, the Earl of Carlisle, the Right Hon. Charles Grant, Lord Holland, Sir James Graham, the Duke of Richmond, and Mr. Stanley. The Council broke up soon after four o'clock. Lord Erskine transacted business on Saturday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affiiirs. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland has left town for Dublin. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. SUNDAY AFTERNOON.—A better race week than the last is expected, the termination of the debates on the Reform ques tion enabling the principal supporters of these meetings to par ticipate in amusements of which they have been deprived during the greater part of the season, Several hacks and grooms have been sent in, and the attendance, without being very numerous, bids fair to be highly respectable. The race list extends to Friday, but does not promise any thing extraordinary either in the nature or extent of the sport. The only races of any im portance to speculators are the Garden, the Clearwell, and the Prendergast Stakes, the two tut-named being for 2-yr olds. The Garden is better filled than usual, and will, no doubt, be a good betting race, the stakes being for all the money (100 sovereigns each), several horses will start. As yet there is no quotation of odds the stake is 900/. There are 40 subscribers to the Clear well stakes, which is singularly deficient in public runners. Mar. grave and Landgravine are alone entitled to be noticed; the former won a stakes at Stockbridge, beating Eleanor, Revealer, and Nannette. For this running he was backed for the Derby at 12 to 1, like Washington, who, belonging tq the same gentle man, won the same stakes, was irrde an immense favourite for the Derby, got beaien at NeWmarket, and finally turned out one• of the arrantest impostors that was ever nick. named a race horse. It remains to be seen whether Hargrave is a horse of another colour. In the meantime let it be recol lected that Eleanor won the stake at Warwick in a canter, and was defeated easily at Abingdon by Nannette, who ran fourth at Stocktfridge. The running altogether is of a`very doubtful cha. racter. Landgravine's pretensions are superior; she won the Levant stakes at Goodwood, beating Dryad, Sister to Tom Thumb, Jest filly, and Tarquin, in a canter, The. Prendergast stakes has an entry of 23, and the only winner in it is Beiram.— The result of these stakes will operate on the Derby betting, which at present is extremely languid. Six matches are down for decision, but do not excite much interest.
