An Hereditary Peerage has ceased to exist in France—in that country which is within three hours' sail of the English shores. The Paris Papers mention that the question was brought to conclusion on Wednesday evening, when the entire law was put to the vote, and passed by a majority of 34, the number for the abolition being 102 : against it 68 ! The final settlement of this great question has created, comparatively Speaking, but little sensation in the French capital, for it had been long since determined by th e people that the Hereditary Peerage should go ; consequently the majority in favour of th e Ministers was looked on merely as a matter of course. But if France be indifferent, England (at least the Aristocratic portion of England) will not—cannot be so ; for the British Peers cannot but be well aware of the fact, that no great popular question has ever yet been carried in France without producing directly or indirectly, a deep, powerful sensation in the rival country. The abolition of the French Aristocracy—for as respects superior influence, it is as completely abolished as if it had never existed—will, we trust, act as a sort of warning to our British Peers, and in duce them by timely concession to demands which can no longer be justly or safely withheld, to avoid bringing on their Order the disgrace and th e danger which cannot fail to attend it, should it resolve on coming into collision with the people. The House of Lords exists for the benefit, not for the detriment, of the country. It is, and ever should be, a conservative, not an op pressive institution. Let this fact not be for gotten.

The late statement of SAMUEL COOKE, de signed to show the deficiency of the Irish eccle siastical contributions to the First Fruits, has every appearance of accuracy, and, if it at all approaches the truth, presents to the world the most singular picture of a Church, calling itself Christian, that history has yet recorded. Here we have the details, proving the revenue of the Irish Church to by little short of 1,00,006/, per annum, whilst the total number of the mem bers of that Church (putting Catholics and Dissenters out of the question) cannot possibly exceed, if they amount to, 600,000. So that the ratio of the ecclesiastical burthen is to the population as 2/. a head for every man, woman, and child, belonging to the Church, who are the only persons that can justly be called upon to support it. If, therefore, the Members of the Irish Establishment desire that such establish ment should he maintained, they ought to be prepared to bear the burthen of this charge• For not only is it repugnant to every principle of political justice, but it is contrary to the no torious and declared feeling of the Irish people, (the bigotted of the Protestant churchmen ex cepted), that they should be made to pay any longer the expenses of keeping up a religion which they believe to be a false one. The career of Protestant oppression seems to have been brought to a full stop, and the arduous task remains for the Legislature to place things on such a new footing as may be conducive to the safety and welfare of the Irish nation. In the event of the Tithe Committee recom mending a permanent commutation, which is the utmost length to which it is likely to go, it will still leave undone the most material part of its business, if it does not consider the mode of application of the payment, or of the land, for which the tithes would be to be commuted. It is plain that a commutation will be no benefit to the peasantry and labourers, unless it relieves them from the double contribution which they are now forced to pay to the Law Church, as well as to their awn. If, therefore, out of the proposed commutation money a provision tanta mount to an establishment were made for the Catholic Clergy, and the Catholic Clergy would accept such provision in substitution of their present more uncertain emoluments derived from their flocks, things might be brought somewhat near to the proper footing on which an Esta blished Church ought to rest. But the conve• quence would be that the Protestant Establish ment must be reduced, in that case, to what is barely sufficient to maintain the Protestant wor ship for the supply of the spiritual wants of the half million who belong to the Protestant Law Church. A project to reduce the Church to this state would, however,ike opposed with fire and sword by the Orange aristocracy of Ireland, and we are far .from fancying that any prospect exists of carrying it into effect by peaceable means. Yet until it is done, there can be no hope of the establishment of social peace in Ireland, conve niently with the maintenance, on the most re duced scale, of the present Law Church. But, after all, whatever schemes of this sort may be set on foot, the possibility of realising any of them must turn upon the practicability of collecting any thing at all under the natne of tithe, commutation, church rate, or other such compulsory payment, from the Irish people. It is in vain for Parliament to substitute a tax called A, for a tax called B, if the people are united in their determination to resist both tile one and tile other. Many, who know Ireland well, are of opinion that the Catholic Clergy will strenuously oppose all projects of ecclesiastical Reform, short of one which would re-establish their Church in the authority and dignity of an institution recognised by law. It is but too na tural for the Clergy of that ancient faith, which oppression has rendered the more venerable in the eyes of the people, and whose ancient splendour can never be effaced from historical memory, to labour for their restoration to the place from whence Protestant violence drove them at the Reformation. Unless, therefore, a measure can be fallen upon, tending to conciliate at once the Clergy and people of Ireland, and to put down Orange oppression with a strong hand, there are but small hopes for that unhappy island ; and we regret to confess that the more we look at the question the less prospect do we see of its being brought to a satisfactory arrange ment. The fnllowing are extracts from Hamburg and other German Papers received this morning:— FROM. THE RUSSIAN FRONTIERS. —Since the submit. sion of Poland, many public journals make it their business to pass erroneous judgments on the policy of Russia, to spread false news, and to blame the pre-intended systema tical harshness and rigour of the measures of the Govern ment with respect to that country ; other journals, less fertile in invention, copy such statements with especial pleasure, in order not to be behind the spirit of the age. Thus, it was lately affirmed, that the Polish peasants were deprived of their axes and scythes. They do not say, that the measure in question was the disarming of the scythe bearers, and the taking away of the scythes, which had been fashioned into instruments of war. After a rebellion which commenced with murder, treachery, and pet fidy, these gentlemen think fit also to attack the Russian decree of amnesty, though it excludes as liable to punishment only those who are known and convicted of being the prin cipal transgressors, or those who have disregarded the fre quently repeated warnings and exhortations to return to their duty. The infatuation and partiality of the pre tended Liberals go so far as to require that even the most guilty shall be unpunished. Very incorrect judgments have also been found in the reform of the schools which has been ordered in Poland. It is evident that the schools required a better organization, after the revolutionary Go vernment had given them teachers actuated by the same spirit as the insurgents : it is also clear that a knowledge of the Russian language is more necessary to the Poles than the learning of foreign languages ; if, therefore, the Government has found by experience that the teachers from France inculcate only false doctrines to the ruin of youth, the refusal to admit them should be considered as a benefit, but it would not be a proof that the language and literature of France are to be condemned. In these false statements of the public journals we see, therefore, either narrow views or partiality. Equally strange is it when assertions are made respecting the still secret' policy of the Russian Cabinet relatively to the 24 articles in the future fact of Poland, which are founded on merely arbitrary conjectures. The public, therefore, can not be sufficiently warned against reports spread either by malevolence, ignorance, or partiality. All well disposed persons, after manifestly seeing the bitter fruits of the revolutions in France, Belgium, Italy, andiPoland, ought nominally to look up with the highest confidence to a So vereign who has given so many proofs of his clemency and magnanimity; the prejudices against those whom they call the northern barbarians ought at length to vanish. A Governmtnt, distinguished for its judgment, activity, and good intentions, a people, animated by genuine love to its Sovereign, and evidently advancing in the career of moral and intellectual improvement, an army which, after immense exertions and sacrifices, takes the capital of the rebels by storm, and enters it without plunder, without vengeance, listening only to the voice of humanity and discipline, undoubtedly belong to the civil'zed world; they merit respect and admiration. POLISH FRONTIERS, DEC. 4.—We hear nothing of the Polish army, such as it was before the Revolution in No vember last year ; but it is said that the Russian Govern ment intends to form the Polish soldiers who have re mained in the kingdom, and those that now return from Prussia and Austria, into several regiments, which, for the present at least, will be commanded by Russian Co lonels, and be stationed for a time beyond the frontiers of the kingdom. This plan, which it is thought will be speedily carried effect, seems to be the only means of ern, ploying and duly superintending the soldiers, who have been alienated from all their former habits, and who, un used to agricultural employment, and without landed pro perty, would be in the most deplorable situation if the Government did not do something for them. But in the Russian provinces their services might be the better turned to account, because there would be no danger in it, and they would supply the place of the troops employed in the occupation of Poland. Imrstc, DEC. 12.—General surprise has been caused here by the prohibition in Prussia of the historical pocket book, published in this city by Brockhous, because it con - tains an admirable article (but written without any reserve) by Raumer, on the subjection of Poland. In general, all the accounts given by the Prussian booksellers indicate that the censorship will be snore rigorously exercised. Here, in Leipsic, this rigour has been relaxed by superior authority, only some violent demagogues find various ob stacles.

" The English foreign merchants recently solicited a diminution of fees, and on this account delayed entering the port. Again, last year, they clandestinely brought foreign women to the factories, and, by stealth, conveyed muskets and guns to the city of Canton. Immediately after they themselves came to repentance, and did not per severe to the end in their refractory opposition ; but the barbarians' disposition being deceitful and crafty it is abso lutely necessary to carry into effect prohibitions and orders with severity, and to give importance to guards set up by old regulations. Present and former circumstances are not the same, and these are thus suitable or not according to the times. The said Governor and others have agreed on certain additions and diminutions to be generally obeyed and maintained, and have ordered civil and military of ficers, soldiers, and police, to be faithful and active in keeping a constant search and guard ; also the Hong mer chants and linguists are required to be faithful and trusty in watching and searching to supply checks and controul. " It is hereby ordered, that the regulations contained in the eight paragraphs agreed on in Council be carried into effect. " The said foreign merchants have, on former occasions, repeatedly opposed interdicts and orders, but since they came of themselves to repentance, let, through clemency, their punishment be waived. But it is absolutely neces sary to order them to obey, and hold fast the old regulations. How can it he that they will again oppose and transgress ? still, if they be allowed daily to increase in arrogance and insolence, in a trifling with and contempt of the laws, in indulging their irregular disposition to perverse refractori ness, and gradually going to an increased exhibition of their pride and want of self restraint, what eventually will the appearance of things be ? Let the said Governor and others, be strict in enforcing our internal customs, and so eradicate the disturbance of foreign barbarians. It is al together incumbent, not to lose the Celestial Empire's res pectability in governing. Then the management will be supremely good. Take this edict and order it to be known. Respect this." To this the Chinese Minister, Governor of Canton, adds, " In obedience to the Imperial will, we send forward this letter. The above coming to me, Minister and Go vernor, I forthwith issue orders requiring obedience thereto. On my orders reaching the Hong merchants, let them immediately communicate the orders to the Eng lish nation's foreign merchants, and to the foreign mer chants of all the nations, for their reverential obedience thereto. There has been repeated disobedience to interdicts and orders. Hereafter it will be necessary absolutely to yield implicit obedience to the laws and regulations of the Celestial Empire, and adhere strictly to old arrangements. If again any dare to oppose or transgress, and again create disturbance, then assuredly, in adherence to the Imperial will, a severe scrutiny shall be made, and punishment in flicted. Decidedly there will not be the least clemency or forbearance shown. Tremble at this intensely—intensely are these comands given. (Signed) " TAOU KWANG. " Eleventh year, 4th moon, 11th day." THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK. The Dutch steamer has arrived this morning ; as yet we only hear that the Dutch funds come per cent. higher ; in regard to political news nothing has as yet transpired. To the present hour we have no other arrivals. THE FUNDS. What we stated in our City Article yesterday of an express from Paris, with a majority in favour of the French Ministry on the debate of the Peers, is this morning con firmed ; but the private letters from Paris state that it is the intention of sixty or seventy Peers to resign their Peerage, and enter a protest against the new law. This is of no consequence, as it is in the French King's power to create as many new ones in their stead as he thinks proper; but the Parisians appear to get rather alarmed in regard to the fortifying of Paris. Citadels are to be erected on the heights, near Montmartre, from which at any period Paris could be bombarded, and at any time sweep the plain of St. Denis. Mont Louis, above Pere la Chase, is also destined for a fortress. These fintified frontiers may serve for two purposes, to keep the capital under military subjection, and in case of an invasion by a foreign force these fortresses must be taken before an enemy can enter the capital. Although the French Mi nistry have carried their point, nevertheless the French funds have lowered. This may be attributed to the Dutch still continuing to strengthen their army, as well as fortifying their coast with 500 pieces of cannon, which no doubt gives uneasiness to the French Cabinet, as they must keep their army in the North on the qui vice. Our Funds remain steady at present, and opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 84i to fur the account, with little doing. The Belgian loan-hunters are on the alert, as they expcct the letters to be out this morning. HALF-PAST ONE. The ✓'ournal des Debats of Wednesday, under the bead from the " Russian Frontiers," states that the news from Lyons has caused the greatest joy in the superior classes, and which they manifest publicly, (this is a proof of the antipathy the Russians have to the French). They write from Berlin of the 16th December, that the Prussia❑ Government will not deliver over by force to the Russians the Polish refugees, and they have the liberty to remain. The French Consul at Dantzic is charged to deliver to them provisions and succours, and to superin tend their embarkment in the spring. Travellers coming from Poland estimate the Russian army there at 150,000 men. Most of them are distributed in cantonments on the frontiers of Prussia, and the troops are persuaded that they will march against France in the spring. We have heard that the letters of refusal of the Belgian house to those persons who wrote for a slice at the Stock Exchange, have been delivered this morning, and many have been disappointed. The other letters, complying with the request of the writers for a slice, are to be delivered this afternoon. Report says that the loan will be issued at 75, with an allowance of 4 per cent. on prompt payment, which will reduce its price to 744, and it is expected it will bear a premium of 2 per cent. Consols have continued most part of the morning at 84- t i to I, with little doing. At present the speculators are doubtful how to act, the Continental information being so contradictory in regard to the future condo. t of Holland and Russia, in the pending grand question of the ratification of the treaty.

(From the Limerick Chronicle, Dec. 24.) By a letter received this day from Templemore, we are informed that his Majesty has been pleased to release Lieut. Pocock and Ensign Thompson, 74th Regiment, from arrest, and to reinstate them in their former rank in the 74th. Lieut.-Colonel Jackson, second Major of the Carbineers, left this city on Thursday for London. He is to succeed Major Burrows as only Major of the 17th Lancers ; the latter is to be appointed to a Lieutenant-Colonelcy unattached. Captains Jenes and Ponsonby's troops of the Carbineers leave this garrison after the 2d of January, and exchange quarters at Cahir, with Captains Hay and Brown's troops, under Major Stephenson, who are to be added to the strength of this garrison. The Hon. Lieut.-Colonel Dundas, commanding the 83d Regiment at Castlebar, has left that garrison for Edin burgh, to assist at the Court-Martial upon Colonel Elring ton. 47th. An order has been received by the Commanding Officer of the 32d Reserve at Tralee, to report to Government what accommodation could be afforded to an increase of military force in that town. The officers' mess of the 68th Light Infantry in Galway is now restricted to the Lieutenant-Colonel and one subal tern—all the other officers of that corps in garrison being married. The following we have received from a military corres pondent at Barbadoes : " GENERAL ORDER. " Head-quarters, Barbadoes, Oct. 18, 1831. " It is with feelings of much gratification that the Lieutenant-General begs to express to the troops in this command his sense of the benevolence which they have evinced by their contributions for the relief of the sufferers in this island, under the consequence of the late tremendous hurricane. Sir James Lyon most fully appreciates their generosity, and he takes this opportunity of requesting the officers and men of the several corps, the individuals of departments, who have by their donations equally shewn their sympathy for distress, to accept his warmest thanks. He feels it also a duty to mark in the same public manner his sense of the disinterested conduct of the troops in this garrison, who not only declined receiving a liberal subscrip tion, especially contributed to their relief by their brother soldiers serving at Antigua, but out of their own necessities gave largely to the general fund raised for the destitute and homeless poor of Barbadoes ; and he cannot conclude this order without begging Lieutenant-Colonel R Nickle, 36th Regiment, to express to the garrison of St. Ann's his approbation of their soldier-like conduct from the first scenes of the late calamity up to the present hour, and which he has already had the satisfaction of communicating to the General Commanding-in-Chief. " By order of the Lieutenant-General Commanding, (Signed) " THOMAS HAMILTON, Captain, " Deputy-Assistant-Adjutant-General, Acting-Dep.-Assist.-Gen." The following, on the arrival of the 69th Regiment in command, will be the stations of Regiments :—Royal Regiment, head-quarters St. Lucia, a detachment at Do minica ; 19th Regiment, bead-quarters Trinidad, a de tachment at Tobago; 25th ditto, Demerara; 36th ditto, Barbadees ; 65th ditto, bead-quarters Berbice, a detach ment at Demerara ; 69th ditto, head-quarters St. Vincent, with a detachment at Grenada; 86th ditto, head-quarters Antigua, and detachments at St. Kitt's, Montserrat, and Tortola ; 93d ditto, Barbadoes ; Ist West India Regiment, head-quarters Trinidad, with detachments at Barbadoes, Demerara, St. Lucia, Dominiaa, and Grenada. The 35th Regiment Wall inspected on the 10th October inst. by Sir James Lyon, who appeared much pleased with it. The 36th Regiment was inspected by his Excellency on the 11th, and acquitted itself equally well. The former Regiment is under orders for England. The troops throughout the command are generally healthy. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of all kinds of Grain this week are large, and of Flour considerable.

The remains were carefully deposited in a stable upon some straw, and a per son despatched to the police station to acquaint the officers of the circumstance, Some of them repaired instantly to the spot, but before they arrived, a professional gentleman had been aqi, l itted to examine the remains, who pronounced them to be the legs and paws of a hear, which it appeared had been killed by a perfumer in this town for the sake of the grease, and s kinned.—Brightpx, Gazette. ST.

(PROM OUR OWN CORRESTONDIINT.) NEWCASTLEXPOIi-TYNE, Disc. IS. Though the cholera is still vely virulent, and pre vails to a great extent in Gateshead. The report issued to-day, as compared with yesterday, is deci dedly favourably: it is as follows : DAILY REPORT OF CHOLERA AT GATESHEAD, 10 A.M. Dac. 2S. Remained at last report 49 Nem cases 44 Total g3 Recovered l2 Died l3 ltemain ...... ... ..... ........... CAS Yesterday's report shewed that there were thirty two deaths—to-day's shows that there are thirteen, and in this thirteen the twelve I mentioned in my last letter, as derived from the Surgeons, Morris and Stubbs, after the regular report was issued, ale included; so that from yesterday afternoon till this morning, at eight or nine o'clock, only one death appears to have occurred. Forty-four new cases is undoubtedly rather startling. I know that several of these are mild cases : indeed some of them, as well as some of the old, are nothing more than diarrhoea cases. At Gateshead Fell, however, which forms a part of the parish of Gateshead, and consi dered a very healthy situation, there have been ten cases and five deaths. In the parish of Whickham, which adjoins Gateshead, there are nine cases. I am convinced that my conjecture as to many of the persons attacked having been addicted to spirit drinking, is well founded. There are, I believe, few places of the same extent where more liquor is con sumed. The observation I made before as to the great majority of the sufferers being women, may still be repeated. Some of the people are so infa tuated as to imagine they will find security in drink ing ardent spirits, and when you would suppose people would be carefully avoiding the habitations of the cholera sick, their friends and neighbours are thronging into their rooms after fortifying them selves with rum and gin ! The consequence is that they but too often add to, instead of lessening, the number of patients. Happily the medical gentlemen seem now to be quite on the alert, so that I hope no more lives will be lost for want of timely assistance. There is no doubt that the chance of recovery is mightily increased by the disease being properly treated in its commence ment. The parish of Gateshead, including Gateshead Fell, comprises about 15,600 inhabitants; at least 12,000 of these are poor people, and a large propor don of them are very ill off. This want of sufficient wholesome food and clothing, notwithstanding the efforts which have been made to supply them, the filth which exists to a great extent in Gateshead, and the spirit drinking, are sufficient predisposing causes to give a ready reception to a disease already in the immediate neighbourhood. The Board of Health of this town informs us to day that there are in Newcastle 39 new cases, nine recoveries, six deaths, and 67 cases remaining under treatment. It is admitted, however, that eight of the new cases are in the township of Byker, and I um satisfied that a considerable proportion of the whole are diarrhea cases and ordinary bowel corn plaints. P.S. I am sorry to say that I hear there are three cases of cholera and two deaths at Haddington, which is only seventeen miles from Edinburgh. PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 29. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slit,-Since the publication of the correspondence be tween William Hulton, Esq., of Hulton Park, and Lord Althorp, I have been anxiously looking at your Pape: for some explanation to part of the worthy Magistrate's letter of the 14th instant, in which he says, " First, as to the loss of lives, two people were killed in St. Peter's field, one a woman, who having personated the Goddess of Reason, was trampled to death in the crowd ; the other, a special constable, who was cut down unintention ally by a private of a dragoon regiment." He seems to consider this a very trivial affair, but it may be some in. formation to the readers of your Paper, if they could be told how this poor woman was trampled to death, whethet by the horses of the dragoons, or by the people assembled, and how it was the unfortunate constable was uninten tionally cut down. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, JUSTICE. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

We are to have no disarming ! This appears now to be very generally admitted; and even the Illu niteur has ceased to console its tremulous and agi t aced :readers (the rentiers) on this their prolific source of miscalculated hopes and excessive expec rations. Russia is not the sole obstacle. Holland is not the sole obstacle. Portugal is not the sole obstacle. France—her internal position and danger —is not the sole obstacle. Here are already four obstacles : but they are not all ; Russia cannot dis ,rm for fear of Poland—for fear of Lithuania—for fear of the military provinces; and, mark that, for fear of the French revolution. Prussia cannot dis arm, for fear of a war betwen Holland and Belgium —for fear of a new insurrection in Poland—forfear of Posen, which begins to excite in her some alarm ; and for fear that, in the spring of the year, Russia may carry into effect the original plan of attacking the revolution of July, 1830. Austria cannot disarm for fear of Hungary and Bohemia—for fear of Ve netian Lombardy—for fear of new revolutions in the Venetian States, as well as in Parma and Modena, and for fear of movements in Poland, in Gallicia, in Posen, and in Cracow. Austria and Prussia are also un able to disarm in the present disorganised condition of the States of the German Confederation; and although the King of Prussia is advised to be pacific in his policy, and give liberal institutions to his subjects, he dares not do so at this moment, for fear of exciting the displeasure of his Allies. Hol land of course cannot disarm for fear of Belgium, nor Belgium for fear of Holland. Spain is occupied with the affairs of Portugal, and hears, besides this, to the revolution of July the most deadly hatred. Thus the project of disarming is like a house of cards. It will amuse children and gratify the idler and the bavard; but men of sense well know that a Zephyr, and not a hurricane, will blow to atoms this baseless fabric. We may then take it as a fact that we are not to have a real and a general dis arming ! ! ! So then France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, and Poland have been sacrificed for the pleasure of keeping up in the time of " peace" a military establishment of five hundred thousand men ! This is the Perier system ! We have a sick Ministry ! I do not mean morally sick, though if I did I should mean no more than the truth ; but I mean naturally sick. Our Presi dent of the Council is much indisposed—our Minis ter of Foreign Affairs has been dangerously ill, and is very little better—our Minister of Commerce is indisposed, and our Minister at War begins to feel that age has its infirmities as well as office its cares. In fine, the Ministry is sick. The health of M. Perier has of late been seriously attacked. He is a man of strong passions, and delicate frame. His pas sions are too powerful for his body, and the political system he has adopted is fast hastening him to the grave. He believes he is right—he sitraki that all who oppose him are wrong—he feels convinced, that if his system should triumph, France would have peace and commerce, and he cannot imagine. bow a country can fail of being great with two such. blessings secured to her. He gets into a passion , night and morning, with his family, with his clerks,, with his secretaries, with his dependants —at the Chambers, at the Council, before the King, at 'Os Levees, with Ambassadors and Diplomatists, ' nv is constantly talking in alto, and he i s a l ways clrliunt ing heroics. His letters, hi s e i reu ; trs, h i s specsshes, and hia conversations, all br eat h e the name not merely of passion, but of colere . He cannot bear contradiction, and yet he is contradicted by facts us well as by persons every hour of hia life. All this is killing him by inches-1 ,nd he will bleak down under his system, perhaps soener even titan his system from under him.
