down the river, in which case, there is no possibility of over taking a steamer. It can hardly be supposed that a Carlist vessel of war would put herself so much in the power of the Queen of Spain's al lies as to enter the port of Lisbon, except in a case of the ut most distress, to save the lives of the crew on beard, which does not appear to be the object of the magnificent steamer, which attracted the notice of all the foreign condottieris hero, some of whom were desirous of selling or letting themselves, body and soul, to his Highness Ali Mehemet Pacha for a good price ; and others were actually under a contract with Don Car los. But the respect due and shown to the British flag may have encouraged her to try the experiment. (FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.) LISBON, SEPT. 27. On Wednesday last, the 24th of September, at half-past two o'clock, P. M., his Imperial Majesty Don Pedro, Duke of Braganza, died at the Palace of Quelur, six miles from Lis bon. No doubt various characters will he drawn of a Prince who, for the last two years, has played so distinguished a part in the struggle for the Crown of Portugal, by abler pens than mine. I shall content myself by saying, that those who have road Colonel Hodges and Captain Mims's accountof him, will be able to form a pretty accurate judgment of his manners and qualities. He bad the good fortune to live long enough to see his daughter (I hope safely) seated on the throne, and, it must be admitted, principally by his own personal exertion. It is admitted that Don Pedro had not that cool and steady judgment which would have enabled him to command an army ; but his personal courage, suavity of manners, and the facility with which he was able to reconcile contending parties, gave him a high degree of credit and consideration amongst those who had immediate intercourse with him. He was the first Prince, either of Spain or Portugal, who introduced any thing like sociable and gentlemanly manners andhabits. Before his time every member of the Royal Family dined alone, and seldom axed a knife and fork. Forhis innovations he was much disliked by all the old servants at the palaces, whom he used to call savages. He retained his faculties to the last, and in great pain and suffering made many domestic and other ar rangements for the Queen's government. Within a few hours of his death he desired to be dressed in the uniform of Colonel of his regiment, the heroic sth Cacadores, in which he breathed his last, without making'any observation on the subject. With this anecdote the army are delighted. He has directed his heart to be embalmed and sent to Oporto. His body is to be placed near his father, in the church of St. Vicente. The funeral takes place this night, and some fears are entertained that some dis turbance may occur. The new Ministry, formed by the Duke of Palmella, and at the head of which he is placed, gives general satisfaction. The Noble Duke, whom to please the old Ministry it has of late been the custom to misrepresent, is un questionably the ablest statesman in Portugal. Should he be fortunate enough to retain the confidence and approbation of the Queen, in spite of every vile intrigue that is certain to be set at work against him, he will heal the wounds which the country has suffered during the civil war. Much benefit is expected to arise from placing the gallant and excellent Duke of Terceira at the head of the war department. He enjoys the full confidence of the country. Freire and Carvalho are retained for the present, but they must submit to a rigorous investigation of all their transactions, or the Deputies will not be satisfied. It is to be re g retted that the Marquis Saldanha does not take a part in the new Administration. Perhaps he may be Commander-in-Chief of the army. Reports say that he Is ill be at the head of a strong opposition to the new Ministry. The death of Don Pedro gave fresh hopes to the Miguelites and friars. Several friars have been killed in the streets in the soldiers. A Miguelite baker was killed yesterday by his neighbours. Not a single instance has yet occurred of the perpetrators being brought to justice, though well known. The Duke of Leuchtenberg is now . daily expected in Lisbon, to marry the Queen. The Duchess of Braganza is said to be very ill from the fatigue and anxiety of attending Don Pedro during his illness. Until the arrival of her brother, neither she nor the Queen have a single male relative to advise with, or for their protection. Don Pedro has bequeathed his sword, which he wore during the siege of Oporto, to the Duke of Leuchtenberg, to be presented to him on his arrival. It is reported he is in England. Probably he will not meet with a very cordial reception. The Portuguese have odd notions about the introduction of foreign Princes, and are not very friendly to them. (From the Gazeta of Sept. 22.)

(From the Times Private Correspondent.) LISBON, SEPT. 27.—You are already prepared by my former communications of the 18th and, 20th for the event of Don Pedro's demise, which took place at Queluz on the 24th, at half-past two P.M. A marked improvement in health, the general precursor of death in such maladies, was visible to most of his attendants early that morning, and even the Empress indulged a hope that he might get through. The Royal sufferer himself thought differently, because about eight o'clock A.M. he sent for the Queen, and told her as a dying father he had a request to make to her, viz.—that after he should have paid the debt of na ture, a decree should be issued, setting at liberty all priso ners confined for political and civil offences, without excep tion ; which, of course, she faithfully promised to do. He was quite sensible nearly to the last, and appeared to be perfectly resigned to his fate, and happy in the actual position of affairs, and tranquillity of the country. He seemed anxious to take leave of every one of his at tendants, Ministers, &c., and very particularly so of M. Mendizabel, who remained in his bed-room the whole of the night of the 23d to the 24th, and whom he embraced several times, and thanked for the essential services which he had rendered Portugal. He requested that his funeral might not be that of a royal personage, but simply that of Commander-in-Chief of the Portuguese armies, and that his remains, or at all events his heart, might be conveyed for interment to Oporto, the scene of his glories. It is not yet exactly ascertained whether the Queen will agree to the former part of this request, or cause that all the ho nours of a Sovereign shall be paid to him ; but we shall know it positively about noon this day, as, in any event, the funeral is reported to be ordered for this evening. It will go from Queluz to the convent of San Triente, in this town, where his father was buried ; if as a military hero, then it is intended that his body shall be borne all the way by generals, officers, and men alternately, of those who served with him at Oporto ; and a steamer, escorted by some ships of the Portuguese navy, will convey the heart to Oporto. It i 3 to be accompanied thither by all his aides de-Camp, at his own particular desire. It now appears that ever since the 29th of August (I have seen him in his carriage many days after that) he had a presentiment that he would not live the month of Sep tember out, and that most likely he would expire on the 21st ; so much so, that he communicated it to the Empress, and made her promise that she would not leave him a minute, and that she would attend him as his only nurse, which Her Majesty has done with exemplary and soothing assiduity. The people seem to regret him much, and well they may, because at this particular moment it is no easy matter to govern this country without much firmness of character. Every respectable person whom you meet is voluntarily attired in mourning. The Gazette of yesterday, which I enclose, contains the post mortem examination of the body. The new Ministry was not formed until the evening of the 24th, although ever since the 21st hardly an hour passed away without assertions being made that it was arranged ; great difficulties no doubt stood in the way ; the object was to have the Duke of Palmella and another of his friends in, so as to secure the support of that party, and thus be able to cope, in every event, with Saldanha's or the opposition party. M. J. A. de Magalhaes was proposed by M. Silva Car valho for the Department of the Interior, and opposed by the Noble Duke. Count Villa Real was proposed by his brother-in-law, the Duke of Palmella, as well as by the Duke of Terceira, and opposed by the Silva Carvalho or ultra-liberal party, unless he previously agreed to certain conditions. It is next re ported, I know not how truly, that the Emperor had pe culiar objections to one of the new Ministers, and that until he actually expired, out of respect to him, the Administra tion was not declared to be formed. Be this as it may, it is now settled, and it stands thus : Duke of Palmella, President of the Council of Ministers, without a portefeuille ; Bishop of Coimbra, for the Interior an ultra-liberal, and President of the Chamber of Deputies A. Barreto Feraaz, for Justice, an ultra-liberal ; J. da : Silva Carvalho, for Finance, the Chief of the ultra-liberal party ; Duke of Terceira, for War, supposed to be an ultra-liberal generally ' - Conde de Villa Real, for Foreign Affairs, exceedingly moderate ; Agostinho Jose Freire, from the War to the Marine Department, an ultra-liberal. The whole of these appointments saving that of Count Villa Real, who is a very clever man, have been at the sug gestion of Silva Carvallio, and have given general satisfac tion in Lisbon. The Duke of Terceira is beloved by the army ; if not a very clever man, he is a very upright and honourable one, and with his former chief of the staff, Loureiro, as first under-secretary, he will prove a very efficient Minister. The Bishop of Coimbra is generally re spected, and likely to have considerable influence over the mind of the young Queen. M. Barreto Feraaz is, accord ing to all accounts, a man of unimpeachable character. Whoever has paid great attention to the affairs of this country, particularly since the Cortes met, will have re marked that the Duke of Palmella was friendly to the march of affairs, and consequently cannot.be surprised at his joining M. Silva Carvalho, and a highly desirable event it has been. As to this latter gentleman, it was found utterly impossible to form an Administration without him, with out the risk of a general break-up. The bank of Lis bon made a communication to the effect that if that gentleman left office, their accounts with Government must be closed. M. Mendizabal did the same. The majority of the merchants, as well as of all the other inhabitants, both friends and foes of that Minister, took the alarm, and had it signified that it was for the good of the country that he should continue at the head of the Finance Department. Count Villa Real has few friends amongst his countrymen ; he certainly is a very moderate liberal ; he is even acccused by some of being a - Migxelite at heart, which I am con vinced is not the case. Some say that owing to his family connection with a favourite of Louis Philippe, the French Count Flahaut, who married Baroness Keith, he will be no thing more than a tool in the hands of the French Govern ment ; others go so far as to say that he is very partial to Stock Exchange operations, and that consequently he is not a fit person to be a Minister of the Crown ; and last of all they say, that being one of the six who voted the other day against the Queen's being declared of age, his appointment must have been forced upon her Majesty, or she never would have consented to it willingly. Now, in counterposition to all this, I can venture to say, that this nobleman is a highly honourable man, whose word may be relied on—no common thing here—and who will most faithfully do his duty to his country, according to the principles which may have been agreed upon in the Cabinet. He cer tainly is a sort of guarantee to the moderate party. The Duke of Palmella will continue in the Presidency of the Chamber of Peers, but a Vice-President has been named in the person of the highly respected Councillor of State Trigoso to supply his place, whenever his absence may become necessary, either to attend as a Minister in the Chamber of Deputies, or on other accounts. It is sup posed that the Vice-President of the latter, M. A. Marciano de Acevedo, will be the President in place of the Bishop of Coimbra, and in the mean time he has already taken the chair. On the Duke of Palmella acquainting the Peers on the 'cth of the formation of the Ministry, the Count de Taipa ambling and violent speech told his Grace got up, ,^nd in a u... , violent speec__ t h at i t was Wite evident that the present Administration was the same as the f ormer one, if not worse, excepting that it was likely to last longer ; which he proceeded to make a violent attack on M. Silva Carvalho, in the course of which he called him a thief and coiner of base money, ney, &c. Although most likely you ill not see any thing of this in the public papers , yet it is no less a fact. It is as well that you should know something of this Count de Taipa ; he is a very gentlemanly and honourable man, well instructed, has read and reads a deal, and has a good m emor , but he is very wild, visionary , and obstinate in his opinions, considering that he is only one who knows or who TAP SUN LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1934. can do any thin.. ; yet, after all, he is a very harmless m an, provided he be allowed to say whatever he thinks proper. At the time of making the like communication to the Deputies, the Duke of Palmella stated the principles on which the Administration would proceed, viz. :—" To do everything in their power towards the development of the constitutional institutions, as well as their consolidation ; to propose such laws as are still necessary, in. order that the charter may work well ; to adopt every measure which can be conducive to the upholding of the public credit, both abroad and at home ; and lastly, to unite all the Portuguese under the banners of the Queen, no matter what their opi nions may have been heretofore, thereby rendering effective the spirit of the charter." On the announcement of Don Pedro's death to the Chamber of Deputies, the acting President spoke to the following effect :—" Once clear of so many calamities which the nation has already endured, another has just befallen us, that of losing for ever the generous author of the charter, the Conqueror of the Usurper, the man who restored to us our political liberties ; nothing can be more just, decent, or worthy, than to suspend our labours for eight days, and to appoint a deputation of twelve members to attend the fune ral of the august Prince, of whom an early death has de prived the Portuguese nation, as well as to offer their con dolence to her Majesty the Queen, for the death of her august father." The deputation was accordingly named, consisting of Marshal Saldanha, Generals Aviles, Caiola, Saraiva, and eight other deputies. M. F. A. de Campos, and another opposition deputy, proposed on the 23d instant, in the Chamber, that inquiry should be made into a transaction in base coin arrived from England, in which the Government were implicated. Hav ing taken some pains to ascertain what this extraordinary statement could have reference to, I find that at the time of contracting for the loan raised for the specific purpose of withdrawing the paper currency, M. Mendizabel, finding the slow rate at which the mint here coined, determined to have a large amount of cruzados coined in London and not finding any new cruzados, in order to serve as a guide, he collected such as he could find in London of different years, one of each, and caused an average to be struck of the exact value of them, and according to the result, so he had the sum in question coined. He informed the Government of what he was doing, but they wrote him to the effect that it must be all on his (M. Mendizabel's) responsibility, until the money arrived here, and had been approved of at the Mint after due investigation, to which that gentleman assented. The money arrived ; four boxes were sent to the Mint on trial, and it was found that the cruzados did not correspond to the new coin now in circulation, upon which the Government ordered that it should be re-coined. The affair will come on for discussion at the opening of the Chamber, when it is reported that Ministers will be able to reply triumphantly, and with do cuments, to the imputations attempted to be cast on them on this account. The Soho steamer has arrived from England in order to• ply between this and Oporto. A very large steamer, bound for the service of the Pasha of Egypt, put in here yesterday on her way from London to Alexandria. I am sorry to say that several Miguelite persons of some note have been murdered this week in Lisbon, amongst them two friars or monks yesterday, and two officers on Wednesday. M. Mendizabel does not intend to start for England for some days, intending to make some further arrangements with Ministers. A. 0. PRICES OF STOCKS TM Rank Stock 3 per Cent. Red'. C shut, 3 per Cent..

THE SUN IS NOW THE LARGEST DAILY PAPER IN LONDON. is:. 0 00,:t7 y Zile nu+ LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1834. The death of Don PEDRO, after his gallant bear ing, his undaunted courage, his heroic exploits, and his immense personal perils and sacrifices, he had just completed the liberation of Pottugal from the phy sical and mental bondage of centuries, is among those unforeseen and inscrutable manifestations of the Divine Will, which seldom fail to fill the human mind with melancholy reflections. Don PEDRO (his early edu cation and exalted rank considered) was one of the most remarkable men of modern times ; and if our me mory do not fail us, one of the most extensive Royal Reformers recorded in the annals of Kings. It is true he did not live. to give a code of laws to his people, but he lived to over throw the throne of despotism, and to overturn the altars of superstition—he lived long enough to raise Portugal from a helpless victim struggling in the bloody grasp of a tyrant, to the dignity of a great, nourishing and contented nation. We question if ever any man rendered more important services to the world than Don PEDRO did, from the period of his landing at Oporto, to secure the throne for his daughter, to the stay of his death. His sufferings were unexampled, for the hum- blest soldier who fought under him encountered not a danger to which the Ex-Emperor was not exposed ; added to which were the mental pangs which, as a sovereign, an exile, and a father, none could share with him. V The following article from the Revista, a Lisbon Journal, is a little overstrained in some parti culars, but, taken altogether, it is as just as it is well expressed " Don Pedro d'Aleantara, Emperor of Brazil, King of Por tugal, Regent of that Kingdom, and Duke of Braganza, &c., departed this mortal life at half-past two o'clock on the after noon of the 24th of this month. " This Prince, of whom our country and the friends of li, berty have so soon been deprived, was born in the Palace of Queluz, the 12th of October, 1798. From his very infancy he was familiar with misfortune. The French invasion, and the execution of the Treaty of Fontainbleau, determined the Royal Family to abandon their ancient capital, and to fix the seat of the Monarchy in Brazil. Some time after the emigra tion of the Royal Family to the new Empire, the education of Don Pedro was confided to John Radenak, a respectable old man, who had long been Ambassador froth Portugal to the Court of Denmark, and who was master of all the languages of of Europe, and endowed with vast knowledge and rare virtues. The progress of the young scholar corresponded to his docility and excellent parts, and the brilliant qualification of the master. When the Duke of Braganza was deprived by death of this master, he was intimately acquainted with the works of Filangieri ; he had composed numberless poetical effusions of great brilliancy and harmony ; music was his ruling passion ; and all the mechanical arts were familiar to him. A dexterous and undaunted driver, he often drove six. horses.: The chase, however, was his favourite exercise. He at last devoted himself principally to military studies, and the combinations of the higher parts of strategical science. " About this time the general peace opening a new era to Europe, which had long been agitated, the Royal families were enabled to renew their ancient alliances of relationship. Don John VI., of blessed memory, conceived the project of marrying his august son to Donna Maria Leopoldina, Arch duchess of Austria. " The great qualities of our Prince, which began every day to display themselves more and more, obtained for him in the same ratio the love of the people and the hatred and jealousy of the courtiers. The Duke of Braganza was eager to prove to Brazil the great interest he took in its happiness, and an account of the Revolution of the 24th of August, 1820, reach ing the new world, he found an opportunity of satisfying his desires. On the 26th of February, 1821, he took the oath to the Portuguese Constitution, in spite of all obstacles; and from this period we may date his political celebrity. Shortly afterwards, Don John the Sixth embarked for Por tugal, and all Europe from thenceforward admired the consummate policy, knowledge, and courage, which tho august Prince displayed in the difficult trust of governing Brazil; the prudence, dexterity, and liberality with which he directed the Constitutional movement, and neu tralized the intentions and efforts of noxious factions ; and the degree of consideration and prosperity to which he elevated the new empire, which could no longer continue a part of the Por tugese monarchy. On the death of his august father, Don Pedro was successor to the Crown of Portugal ; but he abdi cated in favour of our Queen, Donna Maria 11., restoring to us generously our ancient liberties. The government by charter was unable to resist the plots of the absolutists ; the usurpation followed, and with it the emigration, and its dis asters and glories. Little or no hope remained to the Por tuguese patriots, when a great event and a new abdication, brought to Europe the magnanimous Duke of Braganza. " Cabal and diplomatic intrigue exerted themselves stre nuously to draw the Prince from the noble enterprise of saving the country ; but the numerous and extraordinary obstacles which he had to encounter never overcame his heroic perse verance, or caused him to despair. He succeeded in landinf , the liberating expedition on the shores of Portugal ; and the ' twelve historical months of the siege of Oporto, the most glorious of modern times, and the whole series of wonderful events which followed, till the final annihilation of the usurpa tion, earned for our Liberator a more brilliant crown than all those that had adorned his august brow. " The rapid and varied crisis of active and agitated life, the fatigues, obstacles, and difficulties to which he was exposed during an arduous struggle, and perhaps also the ingratitude of some degenerate Portuguese, shortened his days—in a conjuncture, in which Portugal, divided into parties, required the aid of his strong arm to give impulse to the new system, and of his energetic voice to impose silence on the factious. The Portuguese are indebted for more benefits to the short and tempestuous period of his Regency than to the long reigns of the twenty-five monarchs his predecessors. He was the model of the Princes of his time for public and private virtues. The country never can cease to be grateful for the advantages derived from the Prince her li berator, and who came to close his eyes and sleep the sleep of the just in the land of his birth ! Close to the city, which was the immortal theatre of his glory, rises a hill, an eternal monument of patriotism and valour ; there it is said will be deposited the heart of the august Prince—that heart, which, while it beat, felt only generous, patriotic, and liberal affections—that heart which never gave way at sight of perils, that rose above them, and that was alone accessible to the ambition of glory acquired by benefits rendered to the libe rated, independent, and happy people. The shade of the great man will then appear terrible to the enemies of the country ; generous hearts will repair thither to pay the grateful tribute of admiration and reverence ; and future generations will learn from his tomb to detest tyrants, and to love liberty ! " His Imperial Majesty expired in the arms of a spouse worthy of him—a model of conjugal love, of constancy, and of every virtue. The widow and daughter of two great men, who lived in the agitated sea of political tempests, she now laments the loss of her husband in the palace of our kings, beside the august Queen, whom she also loved as a daughter, and whose mind she adorned with all the endowments she possesses. " This day, the 27th September, the mortal remains of the liberator of the country, the worthy rival of Don John 1., will be transferred to the ancient monastery of St. Vincent in this city, and placed beside those of his august father. Great in life, and perhaps greater in death, which he expected many days with the serenity of a Christian philosopher, his Imperial Majesty wished that his funeral should not be that of a prince, but that of a soldier—the first soldier of the Liberating Army ! " Portugal will long mourn the loss of so great a man. Li berty owes more to him than to any Prince of the last or pre sent age ; history will entitle him the First Liberal Monarch. " The Duke of Braganza will live eternally in the hearts of the Portuguese. The virtues of his august daughter our Queen, the imitator of the great dualities of her august father, will always keep alive among us the grateful memory of the benefits wnich the nation received from Don Pedro IV., head of the Liberating army, and Regent." By the arrivals to the 2d, by the 4frican, from Lis bon, we learn the exact formation of the new Cabinet The following is the order of the Ministerial Ap pointments : The Duke of PALMELLA President of the Counci The Bishop of COIMBRA (President of the Chamber of Deputies) Minister of the Interior. Senhor CARVALIIO . Minister of Finance. Conde de VILLA REAL Foreign Affairs. Duke of TERCEIRA .. War. Senhor FREIRE Marine. Senhor FERRAZ Justice. These appointments are such as we were prepared to expect from the well-known character of the Queen's advisers ; and they show a grateful recollection, on the of the Sovereign, of the great sacrifices made in the Constitutional cause. The Portuguese are highly pleased with them. We have received by express from Paris the French Papers of Thursday, with private intelligence from Bayonne, dated the 28th of September. Our worst fears regarding the Spanish loans have been rea lized. The Chamber of Procuradores rejected the whole of the Guebhard loans, and the consequence is, that thousands are involved in utter ruin. This was increased by the French Government having published half of the telegraphic despatch from Madrid, declaring the whole of the foreign debt recognized, and not making known the resolution of the Chamber, by which the Guebhard loans were an nulled. We abstain from making any com ments on this disgraceful transaction till Monday, but the following extract from the Constitutionnel will show some of its melancholy consequences : ‘, New disasters again break in upon us ! New victims of the infamous practice of stock-jobbing in the Spanish Funds, grounded upon the contradictory news which seems to have been solely invented for the scandalous profit of the privileged men of the Exchange and of the telegraph, and which results in the ruin and despair of the greater number, have been made Guebhard's loan has experienced a tremendous fall in conse quence of a telegraphic despatch having announced the rejection of that loan, and the third article, which divides the debt into active and passive. Now, before the despatch was placarded on 'Change, we can affirm that sales were effected by per sons who, no doubt, had received previous information. When the news was spread, and the loan fell with ter rific rapidity, it is impossible to describe the desolation which prevailed on every side, and the bursts of in dignation which succeeded. But this is not all : a private courier from Madrid, who left on the 26th, arrived at Paris yesterday morning, after having performed the journey with inconceivable speed. A courier, presumed to belong to the Government, quitted at the same time, but unfortunately broke his leg in the mountains of Arragon. The former courier, on his arrival, brought an account currently reported in Madrid, that an arrangement had been entered into between Toreno and the OpPosition' to give the command of the Na varrese army to General Mina, and to annul the Guebhard Loan, both of which have been done. In return for these two concessions the majority was to vote for the acknowledg ment and payment of the Perpetuelles and Cortes' Bonds, at least in part. M. de Rayneval must have been informed of this, and could not have neglected to dispatch intelligence of such vast importance. This contradictory news must have been the result of deliberate calculation, either at Madrid or at Paris, for the purpose of enabling certain indivi duals to realize enormous profits. This scandalous affair must, however, be brought to light. An end must be put to these odious tricks, which compromise the interests of a nation and the honour of a ministry. This disgusting issue of iniquity must, doubtless, have been woven at Madrid, but its accomplices in Paris should be discovered. Public opinion demands satisfaction ; and the only means which the Ministry possesses of proving its want of participation is to _make known the guilty parties." FRENCH. FUNDS.—Paats, OcT. 2.

We have received the Guiana Chronicle to the 14th August, from which it will be seen that the state of affairs in that colony is any thing but satisfactory : " The accounts from the Essequibo portion of the colony continue as gloomy as ever. The return of the steam-boat which conveyed his Excellency and the grenadier company of the Sfith regiment to that district, gives us intelligence that the disaffected negroes, who had taken possession of the parish church had been dispersed. Our accounts from this dis trict are brought down to twelve o'clock yeterdaY, when mat ters remained in the same state. It is painful to add, likewise, that the destruction of property amongst the cane cultivation, plantain walks, and provision grounds has been immense. " Along the west coast matters do not in the slightest degree improve. District courts continue to be held on different plantations. " The accounts from Bertice of yesterday's date represen - • that in that portion of the colony the same stubborn resistance of law and authority exists amongst the labouring population." We have Barbadoes Papers to the 20th August, at which time the greatest tranquillity prevailed. Mr. O'CONNELL is uneasy about the Rent. This is a clear case. His letter to SHARNLAN CRAWFORD, on the subject of tithes, betrays his inquietude in every line. He feels that his Duncannon epistles showed too strong a Ministerial bias ; so now, to right theba lance, he comes forward with as strong a display of Ministerial antipathy. " For seven hundred years," says he, " tyranny has been the means resorted to by our English rulers, to tranquillize Ireland. These are, alas I the only means which they have to this hour, aye, even up to this hour, employed to produce the peace of this ill-fated land. They are, Ido really be lieve, as ready to repeat the atrocious experiment, as if seven hundred years of similar misrule had not proved, that although the exhibition of discontent may be sup pressed for a season, yet that it, after a short pause, shows out again in renovated and increased rage, vigor, and wildness of revenge." Fine words these, and with what marked propriety they proceed from one who was among the foremost to sign the Address to Lord ALTHORP, requesting him to continue in office ; and who but the other day told Lord DUNCANNON he was all that he should be as Home Secretary; and that in consequence of his accession to office, he had himself become a Ministerial man I We neither know nor care what Mr. O'CONNELL may be as a private man ; but as a politician, his name is a syno nym for treachery and tergiversation. There is no keeping—no harmony—not even the shadow of a principle—in his public character. "He turns his back on himself"—as Lord CASTLEREAGII would say—at least -six days out of the seven. If this were the mere result of a vivid imagination, liable to be car ried away by generous but mistaken impulses, we could make allowances for it ; but with Mr. O'CONNELL it is far different. He is, and has ever been, (whatever his admirers may urge to the contrary) a keen, calcu lating man of the world, who knows on which side his bread is buttered ; and what course of policy best suits his own interests. As for trusting him, we would as soon trust a cat with a canary. All his movements have but one object—tend to but one end—the aggrandizement of Self. Let Ireland .go to ruin—let England be dismembered—what cares he, provided the " Rent" still flourishes ? This is the spirit that pervades his article to SHAR MAN CRAWFORD--that points its style, and lends meaning to its absurdities. The abolition of tithes, he finds, is now more popular in Ireland than Repeal ; accordingly, Repeal is thrust in the back-ground, and Tithes brought prominently for Ward. But, least Mini sters might take this grievance out of his hands, and so cut from under him one of the great props of his popularity, Mr. O'CONMELL pur posely rushes into the extreme of red-hot Radi calism, and suggests to them a series of propositions which no English Ministry ever did, or ever will be able to carry into effect. And thus acting, lie calls himself a patriot I And so he is. But in the sense that JACK CADE was a patriot, who would have no King but himself—no Minister but himself-- no laws, but those which he himself promulgated, and of which he himself was to reap the chief advantage. We make no extracts from Mr. O'CONNELL'S letter ; for though just as absurd as ever, it is dull to a de gree, bordering on the supernatural. " Oh, what a fall is here, my countrymen I" From a Merry-An drew to a proser I Yet such is the present degenerate condition of the " Member for all Ireland !" ~~, ~ HAMBURG PAPERS.

CORONER'S INQUEST THIS DAY.—)—RE PORTED SUICIDE OF MR. LARTER, OF NOTTINGHAM-STREET.— This morning an inquest was held on Mr. Robert Larter, a very extensive builder, at his residence, No. 2, Nottingham street, Regent's Park. It was currently reported in the neigh bourhood that the deceased had poisoned himself in conse quence of being a very considerable loser at the late Doncaster St. Leger. From the evidence of the several witnesses ex amined, it appeared that the deceased had remained out later than usual on Thursday night, and on the following morning when his foreman called on him to receive orders, he seemed indisposed ; and on Friday at one not having risen to breakfast, fears were entertained that he had come by his death, and his bed room door was burst open, and the unfortunate gentleman was discovered in his night clothes lying on the bed as if he had fallen down dead while in the act of rising. Messrs. M'lntyre and Byam, surgeons, were of opinion that the de ceased died from an attack of the gout on the chest, which complaint he had for sometime laboured under. Verdict— " Died by the visitation of God." MAGAZINES.-(CONTINUE D • ) CNITED SERVICE JOURNAL. The " United Service Journal" is in full uniform , this month, with drums beating and colours fly in g , and turns out as showy a body of troops as have ever ar peared on the literary parade. The titles alone of the d different papers are of the most tempting kind; au, truly we opine with old Bernard Lintott, no simp .. 6 ~eight in the mysteries of the trade, that a goo d title.ls more than half the battle ; but when, as in this numb er of the " United Service Journal," a good book is ap; pended to a taking title, the reader may deem himself exceedingly well treated by his boekseller. It 1) /1 : fact, an excess of liberality which, as he h ad no rig to expect, so he ought to be truly grateful for it. Having a mortal antipathy to all the race of touristsii some few notable specimens alone excepted , we sha commence our extracts with an anecdote highly trative of the genus. It is from An Excursion t Ithaca in 1830 :" v allef " When we got to the top of the ridge betwe en ta ~ero and the fountain, the sky being cloudless and the a tmosr of clear, we had a fine view of several islands, dcpendenelest to Ithaca, though at a considerable distance and more adjeenotit.. the continent of Greece, of which also we saw t he faint , s 0 9 line, especially of the high land forming the promontar:nl 0.0 each side of the entrance of the Gulf of Lepanto. j e gi reached the spot where this interesting and extensive, 3b, burst upon our sight, the Resident, to give an id ea of tieeivo, surdity of some of the T.

To which the gcntleronodeej as Cicerone, and who was a bit of a wag, replied - l• ous t then I'll thank you for a peep through your glassy, wr"woardi, be an excellent one to enable you to do that.' And e i, te be s ore° with an air of modesty, told him he fancied there Ta ns " lig , trio small mistake in what he advanced; but the trac'.. e - ma ined had read a great deal and trusted to his memory , ' firm in his position. The acting Cicerone, who re al .
