The Great Powers, in intermeddling with the disputes of Belgium and Holland, disregarded the maxim of non-intervention, upon which, as a standing rule in regard to the concerns of other nations, so much stress has always been laid in regard to our foreign policy. It is by no means clear that there was ever a necessity so urgent as to demand the interposition of the Allies between the Dutch King and the Belgians, or that they were called upon to interfere either for the sake of humanity, as in the case of Greece, or by the demands of good faith, as in the case of the treaties between England and Portugal. Much less is it apparent that, hav ing interfered, the Allies have done justice be tween the parties; for, whether any weight is or is not to be attached to the complaints of the Dutch KING, the bitter feeling of discontent that pervades the Belgian nation is, we fear, founded in a deep conviction that the decision of the Allies has (lone them injustice in several respects, and especially in assigning portions of Luxem bourg and Limburg to the Dutch KING. We have never seen the shadow of a reason given for this latter proceeding, which would not also have warranted the Allies in giving to Holland the city of Brussels, or the provinces of Flanders and Brabant. After the late interpositions with the affairs of Greece, Portugal, and Belgium, it is hard to recognize any such principle in modern diplo macy as that of non-intervention, or to define, with any certainty, its limits or meaning. But the more the principle seems to be falling into disregard, the more important does it become to urge and uphold its observance, and to hand down to posterity a rule in politics, the violation of which has saddled Great Britain with the curse of a twenty years' war— exhausting her resources, and afflicting her people with evils under which they still suffer in the sixteenth year of peace. The time may come (which God avert) when the state of Ire land may afford to the European Powers as j ust a pretext for interference between Ireland and England, as they have had in regard to Bel gium and Holland. Whilst, therefore, we par ticipate in the satisfaction generally felt at the prospect, such as it is, of the Belgian question being settled, we cannot omit the opportunity of protesting against all meddling by the British Government with the domestic concerns of fo reign States, be they large or small, except only in the cases where we are bound by the faith of treaties. We have no more right, either moral or political, to do so, than any individual has to regulate the management of his neighbour's fa mily ; and by watchfully checking the Govern ment whenever it shOws a disposition so to inter ferelathe public money will be saved from waste, and the happiness of mankind be surely advanced. Mr. HumE is deserving of thanks for the plain ness with which he has spoken upon this subject. ''We have great pleasure in learning that the colliers of Dudley and the surrounding district s had agreed yesterday to resume their work. In fact a great portion of them commenced work in the course of the morning ; others were to begin to-day, and on Monday the whole will be in active labour, the same as if no disturbance had taken place. Despatches were received, this morning, at the Colonial-office, from Bermuda, dated Nov. 4, and from Halifax, dated Nov. 20. `We have received, by express from Paris, the Papers of Thursday, of which the following are extracts : (From the Journal des Debats.) " The Journal of Commerce, of Lyons, of the 4th inst. says Everywhere the Duke of Orleans went he was received with the greatest affection ; cries of Long live the Duke of Orleans and the King' resounded from all quarters. The Prefect made a speech stat ing that the rainbow bad appeared, which announces that the storm has subsided, and a pledge of recon ciliatimr. The Prince answered, that the expres sions and sentiments of the Corps Municipal of Lyons gave him great satisfaction. He also answered the Archbishop at the head of the Clergy, the Royal Court to the Tribunal of Commerce, and the Mayor of Croix Rousse." An Order of the Day was published from the Minister of War to the troops of the line, of all arms, and to the battalion of the National Guard of Saone and Loire, Ain, here, and the Drome, stating that the Duke of Orleans was greatly satisfied with their zeal and excellent discipline at the entrance of the Duke into Lyons. LYONS, DEC. 4.—Our town to-day presents a different aspect than the preceding day, and every thing has a better appearance. Letters from Lyons arrived this morning, announce that on the day of the 4th, a proclamation was posted en the walls from the Minister of War, to cause to cease in the departments of the here, Drome, Ain, and Loire, all for niationa of battalions of the Mobile National Guards. FRENCH FuNDs.—Three per Cents., for money, 68f. 40c. ; Five per Cents., 96f. 50c. The following are extracts from Frankfort Papers received this morning : Moscow, Nor. 17.—0 n the let instant a regiment of Bashkirs, from Irenburg, arrived in this city, and after halting three days proceeded on its march to Warsaw. Several new regiments are to follow, which will be settled in Poland, do duty on the fror..kiers, and form military colonies. vv Since the taking of Warsaw, and since the cholera is no longer talked at, Moscow is the resort of numerous visitors, and many large houses have been purchased on speculation . ; especially since it has been known that his Majesty the Etnperor has granted to twenty-eight Polish Generals permission to reside in Moscow. From the preparations that have been in the Kremlin, it is hoped that their Majesties the Emperor and Empress will remain here six months. At the thanksgiving in the Cathedral for the termination of the rebellion in Poland, when more than 20,000 workmen and country people bad assembled in the Cathedral, a great many persons were brought by the gens•d'armes wholly insensible out of the dreadful crowd, and others saved from death. CONsTANTINOPLE, OCT. 26.—The Reis Effendi has very frequent conferences respecting Greece, with the Russian Ambassador and the Chief Secretary of the Eng lish Leeation. It is believed that the Porte will not agree to any farther cessions of territory, and it is reported that it has, if not wholly rejected, yet declared to be impracti cable, a new and very detailed protocol relative to Greece, which it has received from London. The Porte looks forward with uneasiness to the arrival of Sir Strat ford Canning, because during hie residence here he did nothing to acquire its good-will :he seemed on the contrary rather to take pains to mike himsen feared and hated. It is inconceivable how the Sultan could prevail on himself to receive him again, and still more so how the English Minister could make such a choice at this moment, as it can hardly have been for gotten in the Seraglio and the Divan that it was Sir S. Canning who was the cause of the departure of the Atubas- sadors, the consequences of which were7so momentous t the Porte. The Cabinet of St. Petersburgh has acted with much more prudence in choosing M. Von Butitiiefi for its representative. LEIPSIC, Nov. 22.—Princess Czartoryski intends to go to Switzerland, and thence to Srrasburg. She has alread% passed through Frankfort. She is about twenty-six years of age, and highly accomplished, but her health undermined by her mental suffering , . The President of the patriotic club, Casimir Pulaw;k , has been here secretly, in a condition worthy of pity. met with some support here and proceeded to France. T Polish emigrants are not alloWed to remain in Dresden. - MuNictr, Nov. 21.—Dr. Borne's " Letters 'fro Paris" are prohibited in Bavaria, as well as in the A strian and Prussian States, and all the copies have been seized by the police. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY. DUKE OF ST. ALBANS V. THE DUCHESS OF ST. ALBANS. The Loan CHANCELLOR was attended on the b enc h this morning by their Honours the MASTER of the ROLLS and VicE•CHANCELLOR, whose assistance his Lordship had called in to enable him the more satisfactory to dispose of a point of practice, appointed to be argued this morning in this case. Sir Edward Sugden and Mr. Romilly were on the one side, Mr. Pepys and another gentleman on the other. Sir Edward Sugden stated that the question was whether there could be what was called a second appeal before the Lord Chancellor. The present case was first heard before the Master of the Rolls while Vice-Chancellor. From his Honour's decision there was an appeal by the different parties to Lord Eldon. Lord Eldon heard the arguments at great length, but came to no decision hefi,re he retired from office. The case was again discussed very fully upon an appeal from both the parties before Lord Lyndhurst, who confirmed the decision of the Court below. The case was now attempted to be brought forward upon a second appeal, by one of the parties, the other party having altogether abandoned his objection to the decision of his Honour. The simple inquiry therefore now was, whether as regarded the jurisdiction of the Court, as it was at present exercised, the Lord Chancellor could hear, or rather re-bear, cr hear for a second time, that which had already been disposed of, upon an appeal by the Lord Chancellor. It was contended on Sir Edward Sugden's side that the Court had no jurisdiction to hear the case again ; on the contrary it wis agreed that it was entirely discretionary on the part of the Court whether the suitor ought to be shut out from haviug the benefit of a second Lord Chancellor's judgment or not, and upon a review of all the circumstances, that this was such a case as to entitle the parties to have their• appeal heard: The ques tion was not disposed of when we left the Court. ROLLS' COURT.--(THIS DAY,) His Honour the MASTER of the Row, in consequence of having to sit in Lincoln's-Inn Hall with the Lord and Vice Chancellors, did not t ,ke his seat in Court till after one o'clock. His Honour immediately proceeded with tie cause paper ; but up to the period of our reporter leavirg nothing possessing the least public interest hat come be fore the Court. VICE-CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.) LORD ANSON V. HODGES • Immediately upon his Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR taking his seat, which did not take place till after one o'clock, the arguments in this part-heard tithe cause were returned. The case is one of great bulk and importance to the parties, and appears likely to occupy the Court for several days ; but, as is generally the case with tithe causes, the facts are extremely dry and totally uninterest ing to the public. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The Court were occupied the who'e of the morning in trying the case of " Scarth v. Gardiner," which was an action of libel brought by a solicitor against a magistrate of the county of Berks. It is suspected that the case will last all day. THE FUNDS.—(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.. New York Papers to the 17th November, by the Lon don line of packet ship, Capt. More ; New Brunswick Papers to the 12th of November ; and Prince Edward Island Papers to the 16th November, by the Halifax mail, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house this morning. (From the New York Papers.) The schooner Fleachas, which arrived on Saturday af ternoon from Tampico, brought us letters of the 13th in stant, by which we learn that the city of Mexico conti nued to enjoy perfect tranquillity, and the Government are using every exertion to maintain it. We have a general statement of the revenue of the Custom-house from July, 1830, to the 30th of June last Dollars. Amount received 1,438,213 Duties on importations remaining unpaid." 1,449,051 2,877,265 QUEBEC, Nov. 7.—The parts of the gr'ain crops threshed out are less productive than were expected. Oats prove very inferior, and have greatly risen in the market. The weather has been unsettled for these last two weeks, with damp and cold easterly winds. NEW ORLEANS, OCT. 27.—We have received files of Jalapa Papers to the sth of October. The Federal Go vernment have been authorized to contract for a loan of 2,000,000 of dollars. From Vera Cruz of the 29th September we learn that a courier bad arrived from the interior, and a state of great tranquillity prevailed, with the exception that dark rumours existed in Mexico, which impair confidence and awaken suspicion. (From the New Brunswick Papers of Nov. 12.) Extract of a letter from Barbadoes, received at New Brunswick :—" My poor brother-in-law has lost almost every thing, and with his family is obliged to live in a kitchen. Thousands of families are completely beggared, and some who have been in affluence have been obliged to apply for charity. My brother, who is one of the com mittee for distributing relief, has on his list frmiles that lived in the hi,gbest circles." (From Prince Edward's Island Papers.) BERatuna.—A special Session of the Colonial Parlia ment was held on Thursday, to consider the best means to aid our suffering fellow colonists of Barbadaes. The sum of 1,0001. has been. given for this humane purpose. The Governor of Martinique despatched a corvette to I3lr badoes with an offer of assistance. At Grenada the Legis lature voted 1,0001., and the private subscriptions amounted to 7461. At Trinidad the Council gave 1,0001. and the Cabildo 1,000 dollars. The private subscription was 1,819/. With the money raised at Trinidad, t wo vessels have been despatched with supplies to the scene of devastation and misery. The following is extrnted from the Madras Papers of the 31st of July : " Owing to the intelligence from China business was rather dull. Tire Cashgar insurgents still give trouble, but they had raised the siege at some places, and fled at the aprioach of the imperialists. There was a report that the imperial troops had been defeated in two battles by the insurgents, and that an insurrection had broken out in the island of Ilainai." THE FUNDS. To the present hour the Funds are in a state of stagna tibra—sctircely a bargain having been done. The specula tors are waiting the arrival of an express from Paris, to learn the price of the French Rentes before they com mence operations. We have no political news. Consols, which left off yesterday at 831, sellers, for the account, opened at the same price this morning, at which they continue. Nothing doing as yet in the Foreign Market. Two 0' CL 0 CK. Consols continue to the present hour at SZq for the ac count, with little doing. It would appear that the monied interest in France think favourably of the loan which has been concluded there for the Pope. Of late foreign countries have taken the start of us, who used to be early in the field when foreign loans were to be contracted for. We cannot help thinking the great amount of unemployed capital at present in this country ought to, be made available on such undertakings, where it can be done safely. Thus the financial resources of foreign countries aught, 24 it were be made tributary to English capital. But we are fond of extremes. We lend our money to new unfledged republics, and refuse it to old established European Go vernments. _ ..... In the Foreign Market nothing doing. THREE 0 CLOCK. Consols, 83:i.

Columbian, 1824 Russian Spanish WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) Daniel Humphrey, a silk-weaver, was indicted for violently and wantonly assaulting police constable Epps, No. 63, division N, in the execution of his duty : two other counts in the indictment charged the defendant with a common assault and riot. It appeareC.from the evidence of the prosecutor, and two other witnesses, that on the 12th October, when the numerous parish meetings went up in procels 'Aion with their' 'octillions to his Majesty, Epps was on du r in St. .James's ; while there one of th e i nspec t ors his division delivered a person into his custody, and or dered him to take that person to the station-house. Before he got out out of the Park a number of persons, among whom was the defendant, surrounded him and violently rescued his prisoner. Having done that, they commenced an attack on Epps, who en deavoured to escape from them, and proceeded out of the Park by the Pall-mall entrance ; he had just got on the top of the steps, when the defendant gave him a tremend ous blow, which knocked him down the first flight of steps, and while he was down he was beaten and kicked in so dreadful a manner, particularly in the abdomen, as to make him insensible, and he did not recover his senses until he found himself in the hosp:tal. He had ever since been under medical care, had not attended his duty, nor did he ever expect to be able to do so. One of the injuries he received was a severe rupture. It was also sworn that the defendant was one of a number of persons who that day attacked Mr. Mayne, one of the Commis sioners of Police, Mr. ARNOLD made a very eloquent defence for the de fendant, and while he admitted the shocking treatment experienced by the constable, stated that he should be able to prove that his client was not at all concerned in the transaction. A respectable-looking person, named Child, who wit nessed the assault, swore positively that the defendant did not touch the prosecutor, but that three persons, dressed like plumbers, were the only parties concerned in it. The Jury acquitted the defendant. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GARI There was a great supply at trade was sluggish.

ALICE PAULE T.—This work, it has been observed, might have been called " The Art of Choosing a Wife." The Baronet who is the hero of the novel seems to have brought the whole experience of an active life, during which he bad penetrated all the mysteries of modern society, to bear on this point as the summunt bonum. The manner in which his election is made is amusing and edifying, and accounts at once for the popularity of the volumes among the fair, who forgive on this account the satirical vein of the writer. THE GAME LAWS.--A few days ago, while l oo king in at the window of a fishmonger, who has com menced to retail game, an elderly respectable mechanic came up , and after regarding the bares for some time, he sa id, " Ob, it's a good law, you've been calling for it a he then added, with tears in hi s e y es , " h a d it long time ;" been s o twenty years ago, I should have, been a happy man ; my son was a good lad, but he began with poaching, and soon ended with transportation."—How many hundreds in this county may say the same !—Nottingham Review. BLESSINGS OF THE TYTHE SYSTEM.— " At Man of Kent" writes us :—A this moment the small tithes are being exacted in this parish, with the utmost rigour and severity ; the cottager for his cab bage-garden is called en for half-a-crown ; the butcher fur his patch of land, about half an acre, is requested to pay the moderate sum of Bs. for the agistinent of his sheep ; and the pauper, whos e cow i s hi s p r i nc ip a l su pport, which obtains the greater part of its food by n ibbli n g the grass growing by the way-side, is visited by a blessed cull for 1 in the name of tithes of milk, pro duced by the poor half-starved beast.

Toe production of the new Drury-lane drama of The Bride of Ludgate (played on Thursday) has been delayed (writes a correspondent) by the extraordi nary official sensitiveness of Mr. Deputy COLMAN, who refused to license the piece until Charles the Second (one of the dramatis personw), who was made by the author to disguise himself as a parson, should masquerade it under another less objectionable character ! A King appearing as a priest seemed to Mr. COLMAN as savouring of irreve rence towards the bench! This, monstrous as it may seem, is a true story !

It is conveyed under the name of " The Victim," and appeals as the communication of a Medical Student, who was acquainted with the young lady that realized in her hap less fate the appellation given to the tale. The silk trade at Middleton is in a state of great depression.

Ile was seen about ten o'clock at Vauxhall-bridge, when he drove off in a chariot towards Pimlico. He had with him a travelling bag, and was dressed in his usual way. From the information the po lice have received it is not likely he will escape. SWINDLING.—The frequent swindling impo sitions practised upon the public in the purchase of horses, induce us to insert the following information which has been placed in our hands by unquestionable authority : A❑ officer in the army was lately the dupe of an exchange, in which he gave his horse and SW. in money, for another horse not worth 51. This transaction was effected by a gang of swindlers who constantly advertise horses for sale as the genuine property of noblemen and gentlemen, and the purchasers never fail to lament a dealing in which thee are always sure to be swindled. Information has been given to the police of the names of the persons who com pose this gang, and of the stables at which they usually keep their horses. They are, for the most part, publicans and self-styled captains. About half-past five o'clock on Thursday, caocKFoßD's establishment was thrown into great confu sion, by the discovery that a person named GLASSBOROUGII had made an attempt to commit suicide under the follow ing circumstances :—E irly on Thursday morning the pri soner (for he was immediately after the attempt taken into custody) received a note, on reading which he appeared extremely distressed. Shortly after he went to his drawer, where a considerable quantity of plate was deposited under his care, and then left the club-house, saying that he should return in about an hour. About five o'clock he came back, and went to JOSEPH HOWARD, one of the persons engaged at the Guards Club-house, who, from his conversation, be came convinced of the prisoner's intention to destroy him self, and seized him. An officer Was sent for, and the prisoner handed over to him. It was now discoverer that plate to the amount of 100/. had been stolen, and 0, searching the prisoner's lodgings it was discovered that 1., had pledged a considerable portion of the missing plate. He underwent an examination at Marlborough-street yes terday, when the above facts were detailed, and the pri soner remanded for further examination. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

INFLUENCE OF OCCUPATION UPON THE DURATION OF LIFE. Amongst men of genius, or those who have distinguished themselves in science or literature, life is, at least in modern times, of rather a short duration. Mr. D'lsraeli, in his estimate of the literary character, mentions the excitement which all eminent men are accustomed to feel, and which, by acting physically on the brain, tends naturally to abridge life amongst such persons. But the late Niehuhr, the Roman Historian, we remember, observes in one of his philosophical chapters, that nothing tends more to longevity than the contemplation of projects which one has one's self conceived, in their progress to a successful development. Hence Generals, who have retired from the field, after having attained the objects of their warfare according to their wishes, are long-lived—and the historian ad duces as an example of what he says, the case of Camillus. We can ourselves quote many mo dern instances to confirm this opinion. Marl borough, one of the most fortunate leaders that ever commanded an army, lived rather too long for his own reputation. Perhaps it is for a con trary reason that we see so few British statesmen live long in office. Those who lead a party, and are unsuccessful in their plans, die almost always prematurely. Witness Pitt, Fox, Can ning, &c. But the great Bacon died in his sixty-fourth year; Newton, at eighty-four; Harvey (the discoverer of the circulation), at eighty-eight ; Linn:ens, at seventy-one ; Leibnitz, at seventy ; Galileo, at seventy. On the contrary, Bichat, a modern, died in his thirty-fourth year; and Davy before he reached sixty. Amongst 1,700 cases of persons in all classes of society, who have reached the age of one hundred, only one literary man was to be found, and that was Fontenelle. We have be fore us a list of nearly three hundred persons, men and women, in all parts of the United Kingdom, who had attained to a great age (in no instance less than one hundred), during the term of years beginning with 1807, and ending in 1823: and we cannot discover throughout the whole catalogue a single name that has linked itself with an expression or a deed worthy of being remembered for an hour.— Rather a curious confirmation of Niebuhr's doctrine, just mentioned, is to be found in the ages of all the successful painters. Tl►e Italian artists, with very few exceptions, lived long :—Titian was ninety-six ; Spenello was nearly one hundred ; Carlo Cignani, ninety-one ; Michael Angelo, ninety ; Leonardo da Vinci, seventy-five ; Calabresi, eighty-six ; Claude Lor raine, eighty-two ; Carlo Maratta, eighty-eight ; Tintoretti, eighty-two ; Sebastian Ricci, sevent3 eight ; Francesco Albano, eighty-eight ; sixty-eight ; Guercino, seventy-six ; John Baptist Crespi, seventy-six, Giuseppe Crespi, two ; Carlo Dolce, seventy ; Andrew Sacchi, seventy-four ; Zucharelli, eighty-six ; Vernet, seventy-seven ; and Schidon, seventy-six.— Monthly Review.

SMYRNA, OCT. 27.-4 , Since last post-clay of the 19th instant, we have had 4,000 cases of chol:•ra, and upwards of 3,000 deaths.

Dr. GRANVILLE'S little work 44 The Cate chism of Heath" which has been widely circulated and re commended by several of the district committees for the preservation of health in the,metropolis, has been adopted by the Boards of IlealtlVestablislied in various parts of the kingdom in consequence of the impending epidemic. The plain and simple rules laid down on all questions connected with health, level to the humblest capacity, render this work of great practical utility to every family. It is a striking proof of the unhealthiness of the present year, that in this city, the burials have in creased one-fifth, as compared with the average number in the two or three preceding years. No doubt this in-, crease is not peculiar to Worcester. The mortality way the greatest in the spring months.— Worcester Journal, CREwKERNE.—LUCK IN A CUSIIION.—A, girl in this town on Saturday was making use of an old pincushion, and finding her needle impeded by a hard sub stance, opened the cushion and found eleven onneas some of them were of ancient coinage, and one bearing the date, &c. of Qaeen ANNE'S reign.
