, PIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS The Duke of Wellington, in order to damage the late Ministers, has, we have no doubt, given his ver sion of the closet conversation between his Majesty And Lord Melbourne ; and a proper regard for their awn honour, as well as for the public interests, re quires that Lord Melbourne and his friends should give theirs. The indecency of the disclosure must be at the door of the assailant, not of the defendants. It would, indeed, be a little too much to expect that one side should have all the benefit of misrepresentation, and the other be denied the privilege of speaking the truth. We have no doubt whatever that the narrative in the Quarterly Review was an authorised state ment. We have no doubt whatever, that it was supplied by persons who had it directly from the Duke of Wellington. We had heard of the pre tended facts therein stated, before they appeared in print. We had also heard of a certain letter, written by Lord Melbourne to his Majesty, and now in possession of the Duke of Wellington, which letter has, by a most unconstitutional act of the Duke, been seen by other eyes than his own, and is represented as furnishing proofs of the disunion and inextricable em barrassments of the late Cabinet : nevertheless, we did not hesitate to say, that the narrative in the Quarterly Review was, in every essential particular, totally false and unfounded. We say so again, without the slightest fear of contradiction. We have given an equally po sitive denial to a still more gross fabrication, which appeared in the Standard; and with the same perfect confidence that we know, and are speaking the truth, we will now give a reply to certain questions which ap peared in the Times of Saturday. We have no doubt those questions were suggested by some person who had the materials for them from the Duke of Wellington. We might protest against this mode of arguing by interrogatory, as being manifestly unfair—we might answer these questions by putting others ; nut we pre fer answering the calls of the Times in the spirit which the Times requires of us. That journalist says " his interrogatories require to be answered otherwise than by fraudulent evasion or paltry abuse." He shall have no fraudulent evasion nor paltry abuse from us. We proceed at once to his queries. 1. " Did or did not Lord Melbourne acknowledge to the King, that with reference to two cases which he described as con stituting an unavoidable alternative, in one of them he must lose the support of at least Lord Lansdowne and Mr. Spring Rice, and in the other he must for feit that of Lord John Russell, Sir John Hob house, Mr. Abercromby, and Mr. Ellice ?" An swer. Lord Melbourne did not. He could not, for the best of all reasons ; the members of the Cabinet here mentioned had no difference of opinion upon any subject which was the topic of con versation between Lord Melbourne and his Ma jesty. 2. " Did or did not Lord Melbourne acknow ledge, when the question was put to him, that to re place such losses, and to fill up such vacancies, he must draw his substitutes from the camp of the ex treme Radicals ? " Answer. Lord Melbourne did not. Not a word was said about " losses" or " vacan cies in the Cabinet," except with reference to the re tirement of Lord Althorp ; nor. did Lord Melbourne make any acknowledgment of the probability of such vacancies being made by any of his colleagues in con sequence of disunion amongst themselves, for we re peat most solemnly, such disunion did not exist. 3. " Was it, or was it not more than hinted on one side, and acquiesced in on the other, that it had become no longer possible to go on with Lord Brougham, who had crowned his other perform ances by a flat refusal to affix the Great Seal to the commission for proroguing Parliament ?" An swer. No such expression as the Times had underlined was used with reference to Lord Brougham. His Majesty did give an opinion, which was not acquiesced in ; but respectfully controverted,, We do riot under stand whether or not what is said about the Great Seal is meant as having been part of the conversation ; if it is, we must contradict it flatly. 4." Was it not then a combined question of time and convenience whether the Ministers should go out at once, or after the disgrace and ruin of another rupture in the face of the assembled Parliament ? " Answer. If the preceding queries had been answered in the affirmative, this question must, of course, have received the same reply. But we have given a positive negative to all of them : we again most solemnly affirm that, as there were no dis sentions in the Cabinet, so that pretext was not the alleged cause of the dismissal of Ministers ; and we therefore, it is needless to say, dissent totally from the inference meant to be drawn from the last interrogatory. We know very well the origin of the mis-statement re specting Lord Lansdowne and Mr. Spring Rice. We know how the other names of certain of their colleagues, as opposed to them, happened to be mentioned in the Times. The difference alluded to is supposed to have existed respecting the Irish Church Reform Bill then in preparation. But we declare positively, that no such difference did exist, or was talked of by the King and Lord Melbourne ; and the names of other Cabinet Ministers with reference to that subject, were only mentioned in answer to a question as to who composed the Committee of Cabi net employed to draw up the Irish Church Bill--and those names are given wrong in the Times. One word as to Lord Melbourne declaring to his neighbours in Derbyshire that he did not consider himself personally aggrieved by his dismissal. There is something humi liatory in the confession of having suffered personal ill treatment, from which a man like Lord Melbourne would naturally shrink ; nor would such a man be likely to say publicly anything to the disparagement of his Sovereign and master ; but we utterly deny that that phrase can be interpreted to mean that Lord Mel bourne or any one of his colleagues admits that there was any just cause of complaint against them, or even any decent pretext for their abrupt dismissal. So far from any such acquiescence on the part of his Lord ship, Lord Melbourne would not quit the Pavilion without giving his Majesty time to reconsider his deci sion—nor without representing, respectfully but firmly, the inevitable consequences of so unusual and perilous a proceeding. How, indeed, could it be otherwise, when Lord Melbourne had repeatedly and earnestly assured the King, not only of his resolution not to abandon his Majesty, but of his conviction that he and his colleagues could carry on the Government wit success ?—Morning Chronicle. The John Bull of yesterday has a statement res pecting Sir Robert Peel's declared intention to take office, which throws an important light upon the ques tion, so interesting to the people of this country, whe ther the late abrupt dismissal of the Ministry was the result of pre-concert among the enemies of reform, or, as pretended, the spontaneous unpremeditated act of the Sovereign upon his view of the difficulties candidly submitted to his consideration by his chief Minister. John Bull says----" Some people affect to doubt whe ther Sir Robert Peel will accept the Premiership whi c h is offered him : we have no doubt whatever on the sub ject. Sir Robert Peel, before his departure for Italy, not only privately, but publicly, avowed his readiness to put himself at the head of the Ministry whenever his Majesty should see fit to command his services." Of the truth of this statement there is no doubt : and the question whi c h ar i ses upon th e fact — i s this—Upon what occasion did Sir Robert Peel thus " privately avow his readiness to put himself at the head of the Ministry" ? The answer is obvious. It could only have been upon some one of the nume rous occasions in which the fate of the Melbourne Cabinet was discussed, and its doom fixed. As - S - 1 7 1 ak speare says, the phrase " denotes a foregone conclu sion." It must have had reference to some definite point of time or purpose. Sir Robert was not ready in 1832. His readiness must have grown upon him since. When and under what spell was the change wrought ? Was it under the influence of the Con servative dream of re-action ? If so, it is very clear what are t o b e t h e pr i nc i p l es o f hi s po li cy ; an d as he is to be " the head of the Ministry," it is equally clear that the Ministry is to be exclusively Conservative in Its compositi on . Wh at, then, becomes of all the in nocent tales we have heard from the lying organs of the party . about his Majesty's unpremeditated decision for the dismissal of hi s C a bi net ; about the recom mendation of Lord Melbourne to send for the Duke of Wellington afterwards modified into his Lordship's ig candid admissions " of differences and difficulties, leading necessarily to that result ; and all such farrago of direct falsehood and false inuendo with which the town has been visited during the last fortnight ? The Times may now give up its whine over the pretended uncertainty of affairs until the re turn of the Italian tourist. The Post and Standard may give up their daily attempts to bolster up the lie any longer. John Bull has let the cat out of the bag, and the truth stands confessed in all its naked defor mity : the late breaking up of the. Cabinet was a planned affair. Nothing here said is meant to militate against the constitutional right of the Sovereign to exercise his royal prerogative, in such manner and at such time as to him shall seem meet and proper. The mind of the country, although alive to the importance and danger of the crisis, is not yet fully awake to the authors of its intended wrongs. When it shall come to know the full extent and depth of the plot which has accomplished the late change, and by what means the manly and confiding nature of his Majesty has been practised upon, their indignation against the conspirators will keep no bounds.—Morning Chronicle. We hope and trust that what we are about to state will be received by our readers with quite as many grains of allowance as they may think proper to con cede—and assuredly with as many more as our ene mies, or rather the enemies of our cause, may deem it proper, in pursuance of their malignity, to suggest ; but we believe that we state, on a most respectable, as well as a most discreet, authority, a very broad and a very undeniable fact—and that is, that the Duke or Wellington has not only declared that he will not ac cept the office of Premier in the embryo Cabinet, should it ever reach the period of infancy, but that he will not even accept an office in it. This, it will be said, is a death-blow to the inci pient government ; but pray, Reformers of all grades, do not give in too easily to the belief, that although the Duke of Wellington sees good reason not to put himself in the van of the battle, the victory has in con sequence been won. No such thing. The Duke is a good General, and means to lie in ambush at the Horse Guards, apparently Commander-in-chief of the army only, but, in truth, Commander of the Cabinet also. Its measures will be his measures, whatever they may be— and no mistake,—whatever veil may cover the face of the prophet. But this is not all. The moderate Tories have at length found out, as well as his Grace of Wellington, that their time is not yet come —that the country is too hot for them—and that with out an admixture of quasi Whigs they can neither face the present Parliament, nor venture upon a dissolu tion, which, as they are well aware, would introduce a Parliament more adverse to them than the present ; and what have they in consequence done ? Why, they have beaten up the quarters of the professed Whigs, but, in truth, renegade Tories, and, we hear, with success—that is to say, that they have all but succeeded, and feel certain of succeeding, in the concoction of a Cabinet, of which Peel or Stanley will be the head, and which will include the Duke of Richmond, Sir James Graham, Lord Goderich, and all other seceders from the Reforming Cabinet of Lord Grey ! We would not mention this matter—so disgraceful is it, in every respect, to the parties concerned, were it not that the communication is duly authorised, and that we might refer to a very high (we will not say the highest) legal authority in proof its accuracy. To the effect of this information on the public mind we attach no importance. The same measures which Peel might honestly propound with re gard to the Church, Stanley and Sir James Graham might very conscientiously support ; for they are all Tories of different denominations and grades—all sworn against Reform—all determined that the Reform Act shall not avail to the uprooting of abuses, and the improvement of the condition of the people. In case of such a Cabinet being formed, therefore, there can be no change in the opinion of the people. If any, it should be that their fire against Toryism should be re doubled,. instead of being slackened—their exertions, instead of being intermittent, should be continued— and that the enemy being determined to give battle, they should be constantly on their guard. It is given out, but from the same suspicious quarter, that there will be no dissolution :—our advice is--believe it not.— Morning Advertiser We trust that one of the first measures adopted by Sir Robert Peel on his assumption of office will be the annihilation of all those absurd Commissions which, in order to put money into the pockets of brief less Whig Barristers, half-pay Radicals, and needy de pendants of the " Ministry which governed withozit patronage," have been saddled upon the country. We are not at present going to enter into details which we are satisfied would most perfectly justify our anxiety upon this point, but the day is not far distant when we shall take leave to lay before our readers the number of such Commissioners—their names, their services, and their salaries—and then leave the admirers of Whig independence, disinterestedness, and economy to draw their own conclusions.—Morning Post. Meetings have taken place in some of the great towns of England to declare the sentiments of those who attend them upon the late change of Ministry. At Birmingham and Manchester the same spirit shows itself as had appeared at Edinburgh and Glasgow. The Birmingham meeting is described as one of " the electors," and had for its object to express " their re gret at the recent dismissal of his Majesty's late ad visers," and to appoint a committee to promote " the return of reforming members for the borough and North Warwickshire." The latter purpose of the meeting assuredly is one which all honest men will do their utmost to encourage. If a majority of reformers be not secured in the House of Commons, we have long ago stated that there will be no healthful pressure upon the Government, whether Whig or Conservative, to induce it—if the former, to expedite and complete or accommodate to the public feeling its own plans of political amelioration—if the latter, to prevent the revival of its ancient policy, should any of that nature be con. templated, or to enforce the introduction of any mea sures, approved of by the nation generally, to which habit, prejudice, or imagined interest, might render a Tory Statesman repugnant. The thing contended for by us and those who think with us has been on all occasions, that the Reform Bill, if worked with skill and energy, furnishes ample means of self government to the people of England, including the means of con stitutional resistance to, and control over, every con ceivable Administration which might be selected by the Sovereign : but no one has contended, or can ra tionally affirm , that if the Reform Bill be not put into active operation by the people—that if they abdicate the powers with which it so abundantly invests them, and if they do not stir themselves to secure the election of Members of Parliament who really do represent their wishes, enjoy their confidence, and sympathize with their attachment to Reform--they can hope, under such an entire neglect of their own political duties, to draw from the Reform Bill those benefits which it was intended and is qualified to yield them. The natural state of England after a Reform of Parliament should be one of perfect security, as to the full enjoyment of all its derivative blessings---of entire repose in the guardianship of a legislative body, the great bulk of whose members, or at least a numerous and effective majority of them, had been chosen to Parliament for their devotion to the cause of good government—that is, to the rights and well-understood interests of those who sent them thither. But if the people will not so exercise their choice—if they will not take the trouble of doing that to which the Reform Bill invites them —if they assume that the law is to execute itself, not figuratively but literally, without the help of human diligence—,all we can say is, that they forfeit their own security, that freedom and power have been vainly wasted upon such triflers, and that they deserve no thing better than the old borough Parliament, from which, or any other evil, the wisdom of archangels could not rescue them without their own active co operation. Let this consciousness, no matter who may be Minister, remain uppermost in the minds of the constituent body at the approachin g and every future election—it is the only safeguard of enlightened government and of progressive justice. To the latter part of the first resolution therefore passed by the meeting, conformable as it was to the spirit of the requisition, we see not what fair objection c an b e • made. Nor is the first part of the same resolution censurable, in so far as it merely expresses regret for the dismissal of Lord Melbourne's Ministry. But it appears from the eontext of the speeches, and of the whole proceedings, that the term " regret" implied also a reflection upon the King, as if his Ma jesty had been eager to pronounce that dismissal, and had no reasonable or fair inducement, either in the po sition of the Cabinet collectively, or in the personal conduct of Lord Brougham, whom there unfortunately was not resolution sufficient in any quarter but the King himself to displace, and whom, we repeat, in the most unequivocal terms, it had become impossible to go on with. Upon each of these points it is necessary to say a word or two, because of the misconception under which some persons appear to labour with regard to them. 1. It might be true that Ministers were agreed as to the measure respecting " the reform of the Irish Church which they intended to submit to Parliament," and yet it might be altogether indisputable that there are most important questions not comprehended under the term " Reform" of the Irish Church upon which their opinions differed. There were, for instance, questions affecting the appropriation of those revenues for which tithe is to be commuted, on which it is known that the Cabinet was by no means unanimous. 2. It may be true that the Cabinet had agreed upon what measure they would as a Cabinet submit to Parlia ment ; yet as members might be anything but of one mind as to the manner in which they would respec tively vote i n case o f cer t a i n measures affecting the temporalities f the church, being brought in by per sons not of the Cabinet, no matter on what side of the House. 3. We have been well informed, and are fully convinced, that Lord Melbourne, on being pressed to state how certain contingent vacancies in his Govern ment could be filled up, did admit that he had no re source but in the extreme Radical party. 4. With re spect to Lord Brougham, it is true that his formal refusal to affix the Great Seal to the Commission for proroguing Parliament was not given until after the dissolution of the Ministry, that is, until after the King had come to town, because the formal requisition to do so was not made at any earlier opportunity. Yet his intention to withhold the Great Seal was declared, and, we have reason to believe, communicated to his Majesty, before the dismissal of Lord Melbourne, at Brighton ; so that the Cou rier has drawn a faultv inference in asserting that the refractory conduct of the learned Lord " had nothing whatever to do with the Ministerial dissolution." Had Lord Melbourne taken Mr. Pitt for his model, and dealt with the late Chancellor as Lord Thuriow, a far greater lawyer, and on far less provocation, was dis posed of by the Prime Minister of that day, he might • have protracted for three or four months the existence of his Administration. The Manchester meeting ex hibited a trial of strength between the Liberals more immediately connected with the late Government and the ultra-Radicals, at the head of whom was Mr. Fieldcn, M.P., for Oldham, the result of which was, that the latter party carried a resolution damnatory of the Whig Cabinet, for sundry sins of omission and Commission. As a set-off against, and to avoid mis construction, Mr. Prentice moved and carried another resolution, to the effect that if the Whigs were bad, the Wellingtons were worse, and after a cartload of abuse upon the Whigs, the assemblage broke up, and went quietly about their business.— Times. DILEMMA OF THE DUKE. ( From the Examiner.) When the Devil was sick, The Devil a Saint would be ; But when the Devil got wel. The Devil a Saint was he The best that the Duke of Wellington's . friends can say of him is, that he has the wisdom to obey a necessity ; now, then, is the time for him to prove the justice of this unique recommendation—let him obey the necessity which the voice of the country imposes, and abandon his attempt to govern. In knowing what he cannot do, the Duke will know a very vast volume, and in the first page of it is writ ten : " Thou can'st not dupe the people of Egland." The short of the matter is, that the country will not have him. It says, plainly enough, " We quarrelled with you as an honest Tory, and we will not shake hands with you an apostate." This may appear excessively unreasonable to the Duke—we may all appear stark mad, in his eyes, to refuse so excellent an offer ; but the resolution, he must per ceive, creates one of those necessities, in obeying which his wisdom is said to shine. Under compulsion, it is surely as easy to turn out as to turn coat, when it is clear that he will turn coat to no purpose, and be turned out after all. But what is the Duke to say to the King—the case is certainly an awkward one, for what has become of the long-boasted reaction to Toryism ? The charlatan who engaged to raise Use dead, being, in the midst of one of his flourishes, invited to prove his skill on a subject passing to the tomb, and having, accordingly, performed his conjurations till the spec tators were weary, flew into a violent passion, saying, " Never before did I meet with so obstinate a dead body." And, as for cajoling the Reformers, he must inform his Majesty that so unreasonably fastidious are his loving sub jects, that they insist on being served by men with clean hands. They close with the argument, that Government, no matter how composed, must grant Reform, by saying, then let us have the Government of the friends and pro moters of the principle. If none but a Reform Ministry can exist, why not a sincere instead of a counterfeit Reform Ministry ? Why trust the advancing steps of Reform to the guidance of the hand that would have strangled it in the cradle ? If the Tories are sincerely convinced of their error, what is the obstacle to a Government of Reformers who have the confidence of the country ? Supposing the mutineers to be penitent, is it wise to give them the watch, and turn down the true hands ? If the Duke of Wellington designs the adoption of those principles which he has combated as inevitably ruinous to the country, we ask, to what miracle his conversion is re ferable ? Only to the miracle of the loaves and fishes can it be attributed. Does he pretend to bow to the spirit of the country—that spirit now spurns him, and forbids him to put his hands to the work he would have destroyed. He described Reform as the Upas of the land, and now he asks, " Let me help you to the fruit ?"—and promises liberal measures—of what ?—of poison, by his own showing. What is to be thought of his wisdom, if he was sincere in his first and often-repeated judgment ?—if he was not, what is to be thought of his truth and trust-worthiness ? No man was ever cramped in so close a dilemma. Again we ask, what prodigy has converted him ?—what thunder from a serene sky ?—what warning spirit ?—it needs no ghost to tell it was a vision of office. We are reminded that the Duke has turned before, and to some good purpose ; but it is also to be remembered that he turned back again, and threw the whole county into commotion. It is true that he saw the necessity of sett ling the Catholic question, but did he see the necessity for yielding Parliamentary Reform ? If the perception of the first expediency is to be carried to the credit of his saga city, how much must be detracted from it for his blindness in the second instance, so incomparably more important ? Are we to trust ourselves to the guidance of a man who deliberately walked over the edge of a precipice because, forsooth, he once avoided knocking his head against a wall ? He went right once, but how often has he gone wrong ? and he now offers to forward us on the' road which, ac cording to the finger-post he has set up, leads, as straight as an arrow, to destruction. Good man ! obliging crea ture ! His advertisement is—Cheap and expeditious tra velling to ruin. He says to the people-- " My dear fellow-countrymen, I have, over and over again, told you that you are hurrying on to destruction, but, if you insist on going to the deVil, for the love of heaven let me drive you, for I may as well have the half-crown as another ; and I pledge myself to carry you on towards the bottomless pit at as good a pace as any other driver can promise you, taking care not to delay you by an upset in a journey to such a hopeful end." This is being what is commonly called " too good." The King, too, has been assured, by the same conductor, that he must inevitably crack his crown on the same road. Such an Undertaker of reforms should appropriately drive a hearse as the national omnibus. But who will travel by him ?—those who like the road (knowing the falseness of his character of it) don't like his driving, nor believe that he will go to what he absurdly believes to be perdition ; and those, on the other hand, who like his driving, think with him, that the road leads to ruin, and therefore will refuse to take the journey. The Tories abhor the direction, and the Reformers revolt against the whip. Certainly, except in the funeral sense of the word, we cannot conceive how the Duke can become an undertaker of reforms. Where, but to their tomb, can he be disposed to forward them ? Since what time has he had a call to reform ? There were no signs of grace at the close of the session, and his is not an age for new lights. Some years ago an old woman, Joanna Southcote, per suaded some good folks that she was pregnant with the re generation of the world. While her followers were living in hopes of a Shiloah, however, she died of the dropsy. The Duke of Wellington is the Joanna Southcote of the present day—big with disorder, the old crone gives out that it is Reform. To borrow a Homeric figure, we will believe him when olive-branches sprout from his marshal's baton—but not till then. The Duke's friends complain that he is refused a fair trial—why, how many trials would he have, or to how many trials would ho put the country?—he has been tried once, and cast. But this plea is not original. When Barring ton was tried, he turned his defence on the badness of his character, he told the Judge and Jury that it was impossible THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1834. they Could •give him a fair trial, for all of them must from the notoriety of his character, be preconvinced of his guilt, and he therefore called upon them to acquit him, as their prejudices could not allow of their well and truly trying him according to their oaths, as to the facts charged in the indictment. This equally ingenious and ingenuous defence did not move the Jury to a verdict of " Not guilty." NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Hampshire Telegraph.) This morning the Maria (Colonial Vessel) arrived from St. John's, Newfoundland, in 23 days, bringing home Sir Thomas Cochrane, the late Governor, with Capt. D. Buchan, R. N., High Sheriff of the Island. The recal of the Governor is at tributed by the Newfoundland papers to the machinations of the Roman Catholic Priesthood, and their cabal representa tions to the Government, through Mr. O'Connell. The re gret at his departure is publicly expressed, with strong tokens of esteem and regard. Capt. Henry Prescott, C. 8., the new Governor, assumed the command on the 3d inst. The Champion, 18, was to sail on her return to England on the 7th. The accounts from Halifax are to the 29th ult. ; they state that the cholera had entirely disappeared there, and that at St. John's, New Brunswick, only one fatal case had oc curred in four days. The packet ship Canada, from New York, on the Ist No vember, landed her passengers here this afternoon. The Pluto steamer, Lieut. Sullivan, arrived on Monday, from the Coast of Africa, last from Plymouth, and sailed again on Wednesday for Woolwich, to be paid off. Admiral Warren, who arrived here on the 21st in the Isis, struck his flag on Sunday morning ; and that ship sailed on Wednesday for Chatham to be paid off. The greatest feeling of regret was expressed by all the officers and ship's company (we arc informed) on the worthy Admiral and his kind family quitting the Isis, where, by their attention and kindness to all on board, they made themselves truly beloved. The Admiral may retire to the bosom of his family with the gratification and conscious feeling of carrying with him the best and warmest wishes of all those who have served under him, and the bless ings of thousands of the natives of Africa whose interest he has always had at heart, and whose rights have been more at tended to, and condition bettered during the period of his command on the African station. We are sorry to hear that the Isis suffered much from sick ness, which was contracted during her stay at the Gambia. Twenty-two cases of fever occurred on board, six of which, we regret to say, proved fatal ; one of the number was Mr. Henry Lacon, mate, whose death was regretted by all on board. The Isis was detained at the Gambia nearly three weeks, waiting the arrival of the Thalia (her relief), and it was the sickly season there. It is hoped that the Admiralty will in future devote a little more considerate attention to the time and sea son of the year when they order ships abroad as well as to re turn home, particularly in these peaceable times, when the service will admit of such an arrangement being made. The Isis landed twenty-two men sick at the hospital, Haslar, since her arrival. Since the Isis left England she had only nine teen deaths on board, six of these were accidents. The mor tality being so small out of the many sick she had is fairly attributed to the skill and humanity of the medical officers of the ship. They had had no less than 100 cases of bowel complaint within the last ten months, forty-nine of them marked cases of dysentery; not one death occurred on board. The skill, attention, and humanity of Mr. Gunn, the Assistant Surgeon, is gratefully remembered by all the officers and ship's company. In Harbour—Victory, Excellent, Royal George, Admen, Salamander, Curlew, Water Witch, and Buffalo. At Spithead—Victory, outward-bound Indiaman, for Madras. The Sylph and Gossamer, which have been some time em ployed as tenders to the flagship here, are to be sold out of the service ; and the Fanny, Admiralty yacht, and Emerald, tender to the Royal George yacht, are to be transferred to the Port- Admiral, as tenders for his use. PLYMOUTH, Nov. 27.—Arrived on Tuesday, the Nimrod, 18, Commander M'Dougal, in nineteen days from Lisbon, to refit. Arrived and sailed again on Tuesday, the Columbia steamer, with detachments of troops from Woolwich, for the West Indies. The Talavera, 74, Captain Edward Chetham (having been relieved by the Malabar), is to return from the Mediterranean to this port to be paid off. Passed down the Channel the Royal Tar armed steamer, belonging to the Queen of Spain, for Ferrol, to intercept Don Carlos's supplies. The Pique is commissioned by the Hon. Captain Rous, and the Rover, 18, by Commander Eden. Remain in Hamoaze, San Josef, Pique, Spitfire. In Barn pool, Nimrod. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.—Lieutenant W. D.

The old hackneyed saying:" the gloomy month of No vember," has for the present one lost all claim to that deno mination ; we, therefore, shall begin with terming it the delightful, fine, and mild month, which has not been alto gether unseasonable for wheat tillage ; a considerable por tion was completed in the early part of the month on the soils of moderate fertility, and on the uplands where the seed was not sown last month. But on the strong, warmer, and binding soils, the work has been much impeded for the want of rain, which was but scantily supplied until the last week or ten days, since which great progress has been made on the rich and lumpy soils ; these soils, without a few occasional showers, great labour is required with drag and roller, as well as extra ploughing—which ploughing should be followed immediately with seed and harrow, or the ploughing would be labour in vain. Many wheat-growers are too fearful of sowing their wheat too early ; this we hinted in our last report, and the continuation of dry weather up to the middle of the month, amply proves the correctness of the remarks therein made on that sub ject, thus showing that delays are dangerous, as every day increases both labour and difficulty, therefore per severance is the best mode to pursue, as the season is passing away. Every day gets shorter ; the heavy drenching rains might be daily looked for ; frost and snow may shortly follow, with cutting winds, which must prove in jurious to the young and tender plant just peeping out of its icy bed ; whereas if the labour had been followed up in October, the seed would have gone into the ground in a dry and wholesome condition. In many instances the soil has been in the most desirable state to receive the seed, but, as we have before stated, as the farmer thinks the season not being sufficiently advanced, and the want of rain, they wait and wait until those contumacious soils are become so dry and hard that it is almost out of the power of the plough, with its minor implements, to perform their requisite uses ; the consequences are, the season for this work of husbandry is far gone by, the earth soon becomes soddened with wet, and instead of being in that freed,state as it was found in the preceeding month, is, at the end of November, in danger of being like so much mud and mortar, which state possibly may not be recovered the whole winter ; then you may expect a useless crop of grass and thistles, and not what has been laboured for, a luxuriant piece of the staff of life. The early sown wheats are looking strong and healthy, ;he latter sowings are also looking well, thanks to the ex ,raordinary favourableness of the weather. The yielding of barley is various, according to the variableness of the soils and situation ; the malting samples are considered better than was expected. Oats in some districts arc called inferior, but high in prices for the quality. Vetches or tares are looking strong and well where the soil is good. The weather has been most favourable for the housing of turnips for the winter, and extra workmen have been em ployed by those who practise that commendable work ; the practice is good, and the lands are sown with little labour and expense to wheat ; and by good management no harm can arise by such a mode, but many landlords are opposed to the plan, but let its usefulness in a hard winter be the judge. The practice is much followed in the West of England. The summer through has been an excellent one for cleaning the various soils of weeds and troublesome grasses, which all arable lands are subject to ; but we fear this ne cessary labour has been much neglected by a large portion of the needy for the want of the needful to defray the ex penses of that extra work, therefore, this with many other improvements are left undone, to the prejudice to all who are depending upon their arable productions, and the want of employment of many hundreds of agricul tural labourers ; it is quite distressing to see and hear of such numbers of this class of society perambulating the roads in idleness ; therefore, can it be wondered that the spirit of incendiarism prevails to such an alarming extent ? If the land-owners would turn a favourable ear to this great object in rent and tithes, to the benefit of the agriculturists, and enable him to call on the half-starved but willing la bourer to work for the means of satisfying the calls of his distrissed family, the word incendiarism would be erased from our memory. Many of the markets in the counties have been well sup plied with wheat ; but, the millers have generally deter mined to lower the price of sour to 425., the sale, in conse quence, is but dull, at a decline of Is. on the best, and more on the ordinary descriptions. Barley rather steady ; if any thing, a little lower. Beans are lower Peas remain steady. Oats—a large quantity has been received from Scotland, and the trade dull. At the annual sheep fair at Andover 8,000 were penned, dealers numerous, and the greater part were sold at an ad vance of 2s. a head upon the price obtained at the late Appleshaw fair. Pigs are low. Wool has had a quick sale, but little advance in price. Nearly 19,000 quarters of various descriptions of foreign grain have arrived in the London port ; and the quantity of grain remaining in bond is reported at 1,199,712 quarters. Flop duty 172,0001. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. CHARGE OF FORGERY.—A young man of very respect. able appearance, named Benjamin Neck, was brought be fore the LORD MAYOR in the custody of John Forrester, jun., upon a charge of forgery. Mr. Bush, the solicitor to the Committee of Bankers for the prevention of forgery and fraud, attended for the prosecution, and stated the facts of the case as they were afterwards given in evidence. The forgery it appears was not discovered until two or three days after it had succeeded. Mr. Richard Bcscoby, one of the clerks at Messrs. Bar nett and Hoare's banking-house, stated that a person who put the name of " Joseph Boyd" on the back of the bill as a receipt applied for the amount of a draft, which ap peared as if it had been signed by the Baroness Rehausen for the sum of 54/. The following is a copy of the check : " Stockholm (date not legible). " Seventy-five days after date pay to the order of Mr. Thomas Perry the sum of 54/. " H. L. REHA USES. " Accepted, Oxenford and Alcock, London. Payable at Messrs. Barnett, Hoare, and Co.'s, London." On the back were the names of Thomas Perry and Jo seph Boyd. _ _ _ Witness paid the money in sovereigns to Mr. Boyd, who put his address upon the draft. Upon finding that the draft was a forgery he went to the house of Mr. Boyd, who was not at home when he called. He, however, saw Mr. Boyd's wife, who said that her husband had received the note from the prisoner for the purpose of having it cashed, with the direction to put the name of Perry or Perrin upon it. Mr. Boyd, however, had very properly put his own name upon it, and it was therefore easily traced. Mr. William Oxenford, of the house of Oxenford and Alcock, No. 27, Great Winchester-street, deposed that he knew the prisoner, who had been a clerk to the firm. The prisoner, who had left his employment about three years ago, was intimately acquainted with the business of the house, and had frequently seen witness's acceptances. The acceptance was not in the handwriting of witness or of his partner, or of any person authorized by him to accept in the name of the firm. The Baroness Rehausen was not at Stockholm at the time the draft was drawn. The house of Oxenford and Alcock received the Baroness's dividends ; she had never drawn upon them, but ordered her bankers to do so. The LORD MAYOR—Did the prisoner know that the Ba. roness had dealings with your house? Mr. Oxcnford— Perfectly well. John Forrester apprehended the prisoner in his house on the River Bank, in Croydon, near that of Mr. Boyd. Mr. Bush stated that Mr. Boyd was from home when in quiry was made for him, but would no doubt attend on the next examination. The LORD MAYOR—Prisoner, have you anything to say why you should not be remanded till Tuesday next ? Pri soner—Nothing whatever. Remanded till Tuesday. GUILDHALL. COMPLAINT AGAINST THE OPERATION OF THE POOR ACT.—Elizabeth Land complained against the parish of St. Bride, Fleet -street, for stopping an allowance of 2s. 6d. per week for the maintenance of an illegitimate child, now three years old, the parish holding a Magistrate's ord e r on the father for the payment o f th a t sum, and the father being well able to pay. Mr. Carylll; the assistant overseer, said the trustees or parochial board had, under the new Poor Law, adopted a resolution not to relieve any illegitimate child out of the Poor-house. The complainant had been duly informed that her allowance would be stopped, and that she might, if she pleased, send her child up to the workhouse, where it would be taken proper care of ; but she had travelled up from Suffolk without the child, in the hope that she should get the pension renewed. The trustees, however, would enforce the rule, and he could only offer to take the young woman into the workhouse as well as her child. Mr. Alderman KELLY said such a - course was mischie vous to the parishioners. The child itself could not be brought up at the weekly charge paid to the mother ; and what should be said when the maintenance of the mother as well as the child was incurred in preference to paying 2s. 6d. a week? Mr. Carvill ought to look to the cheapness of the latter course, especially as there was no imputation on the young woman's conduct, and she appeared capable of training up her child properly. He might have added that the resolution of the trustees was obviously impolitic in another view ; that workhouse children grew up inveterate paupers and begetters of a race of paupers. Mr. Carvill said he could no nothing contrary to the rule, that no other relief than maintenance in the poor-house should be afforded to any bastard child. The Clerk said if he had no power to deviate from the rule he was not a fit person to attend upon the magistrates. The trustees ought to come themselves and not shelter them selves behind walls. The mother said, she did not wish to be immured in a workhouse, and she would suffer anything rather than part with her child. VVby could not the overseers make the father pay? Mr. Alderman KELLY recommended the overseer to state his opinions to the trustees, hoping that they would alter their resolution. Mr. Carvill offered the mother an asylum in the work. louse till next Board-day. UNION HALL. Jeremiah Mahony was charged by the parish officers of Bermondsey with refusing to maintain his wife. The defendant said the marriage by compulsion, and therefore she had no claim upon him. " You know," said he to his wife, " that we were married by an excommuni cated priest ; and you know what happened in• Cork gaol." The wife said that she did know that ; and proceeded to tell the Magistrate that Mahony had committed a felo nious assault upon her in Ireland, that he was taken into custody for the offence, and that she got him off by consent ing to marry him. Defendant—l don't deny it ; and I married you to save my neck. The priest, though, that married us, as it was afterwards proved, had a wife and children himself, and you know that the ceremony was not lawful. The defendant complained that on one occasion she left him for upwards of twelve months. The Magistrates said they should leave the case in the hands of the parochial authorities. SKETCHES OF THE CORTES. CHAMBER OF PROCURADORES. EL CONDE DE TORENO. Imagine a short thick man, with a bead like a young bull, a determined ferocious eye, an awkward carriage, a repulsive manner, and you have the outward signs of the Minister of Finance. Add to those, quick mental vision, great determination, perfect intelligence, and a sound un derstanding, you_have the inward characteristics. Toreno is an able man, perhaps one of the most able in Spain, al ways seeing his way clearly before him, never deceiving himself as to the means in the end. Confident in his own resources, and careless of public opinion, he is just the per son to take a lead and to hold it, if the world believed him to be sincere ; but all the moral pre-eminence to which Mar tinez has attained, and which is the secret of his power, Toreno is deficient in, and therefore do what he may, his ath will be one of doubt, and his position uncertain. He has not been fortunate in his private affairs, and there was something in the management of the debt due to the house of Hope of Amsterdam, which has left a sinister influence on him since 1823 ; and some trafficking in the silver coin age of that period has also preserved an unfortunate recol lection. His circumstances in France further led to some evasive conduct, and it cannot be denied, whether these ac cusations be well or ill founded, that there is a prejudice against him, and he, of all other men, requires to be pure, for suspicion is ever alive, and any unfortunate financial event, however accidental, will be attributed to his creation for his own proper purposes. He is a man of business, and the usual procrastination of the Spanish character is not to be found in him, except when he does not wish to pay his debts, as Mr. Rothschild has lately found out. There he can say, " Manana," as fluently as any other Minister. He is not as eloquent as Martinez de la Rosa, but he is a much bet ter business speaker, and if both were to be transplated to the House of Commons, he would create a name while the other would lose it. He has a hard serious manner—goes directly at his object—and seems to hammer it into the Chamber. He laughs at opposition —sneers at declamation —and grounds himself on his will and the public convenience. He is the reverse of elegant in manner, and appears to shun the graces as a pest : but he has a full measure of good words to express the abundance of his ideas, and though he never rises to sublimity, he often produces fine impassioned bursts, which deserve and obtain applause. In general he sits wi'h eye cast down, in a sulky John Bull sort of hu mour ; but when anything touches his spirit, he is up like light, and seems disposed to annihilate in a rage, or to blast by a sneer the unhappy object of his anger. After rising to speak, he rests with both hands on his desk, keeps his eyes half-closed, and then lets fall a few sentences of no im port ; but he soon becomes eager, drives without order into the midst of the subject, cuts and slashes about him, spares neither friend nor foe s and almost dares the Estamento to ' vote against him. He is a strange compound of eu np ; and ob s ti nacy . B e f ore h e j o i ne d t hi s Administrationwas the b eau id ea l o f Radicalism, and the movement.P:P) were almost i n t ears , because they could not contrivelhi, squeeze him in.

Such is the strange influence of hiss im' racier, no man will t rust him, yet all combine to ,P ( 111 phcit faith in him. Hi s ambition is restless, an d °"" he must be at the head of affairs.
