Now that we have accom plished that great object of obtaining a full and fair represen tation of the people, it will be our duty to impress on their re presentatives the necessity of such efficient measures as they have a right to expect as the result of that reform; and either in my present situation, or in any other in which I may be at any time placed, they shall be welcome to my best services in that cause so long as my health will enable me to afford them ; and I hope I shall not be found one of those who will at any time proceed to claim a worse measure of reform, in the vain hope of conciliating the natural and consistent enemies of all reform.—( Cheers.) I am sure I only speak the sentiments of every colleague with whom I have the honour to act, when I say that they are as anxious as the people can desire, to pro ceed with what they know the people require, and with jus tice, at their hands—they desire not only that they may be enabled to proceed with those measures with that deliberation, with that caution, and with that prudence which are necessary to adapt them to the great ends for which they are intended. My Noble Friend has permitted me to propose a toast, which I am sure no person in this assembly could do with a greater feeling of respect and attachment towards the individual whose name I shall mention to you, than myself—respect and attachment founded on what I have witnessed of his manly, efficient, disinterested, and independent services in Parlia ment. I allude to my excellent friend, Mr. Bannerman, who represents the Provost and Council of the city of Aberdeen. I wish to include in the toast the Town Councils of the other burghs of Scotland, most of which, I believe have representatives here on this occasion. -4 Applause.) I believe Scotland has spoken out with one voice —(cheers) and that, if the people were left fairly to themselves, that voice would not only be raised from every great city and town in Scotland, but from every county also. I believe that, in that case, we should have but one class of representatives in Parliament, and that they would be men determined to uphold and main tain the principles which we are assembled this day to express. I beg to propose, " The Lord Provost of Aberdeen, and the reformed Town Councils of Scotland."—( Cheers.) Mr. BANNERIHAN, M.P., returned thanks, and proposed " The health of Sir John Hobhouse." 'The toast having been drunk with enthusiastic applause, Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE rose and said—My Lord Rosebery and Gentlemen, the good fortune which has enabled me to be a spectator of this most interesting and instructive scene will be remembered by me to the last day of my existence. Gentle men, if I had before conceived a high opinion of the virtue and patriotism of the people of Scotland—if I had before been taught by history as well as by contemporaneous expe rience, to think that the people of this nation were perhaps distinguished amongst the foremost, as men who knew what public virtue was, and who, capable of appreciating, were de termined to reward it ; I say, gentlemen, if I had conceived that opinion of you before, how much must it be confirmed by the spectacle before me ?—by that spectacle which proves to me that which I was before tolerably well convinced of— namely, that what is called the ingratitude of the people is, in fact, nothing but the folly of those who attempt to decry public virtue (Loud cheers).—As the Noble Earl, who is the object this day, not only of your applause, but of that of the whole country—as he, I say, has told you, this occa sion will serve not only for a record of the past, but for a lesson for the future—it will not only tell what he has done for the public, but it will tell what other men who, at a humble and a great distance, endeavour to tread in his illustrious footsteps, may expect to earn from their fellow countrymen—it will teach them that if they try as well and deserve as well, they may be sure, according to their meed of merit,' to receive their reward—( Cheers.) I have not the honour, gentlemen, of any of those connections with you, or with the objects of your personal regard, which has attached to you those gentlemen who have been before noticed by you. I come among you here merely as one of your fellow-labour ers in the cause of reform ;—I come among you here as one of those who, in former days—l hope I may venture to say, through good and through evil report--struggled on in times when no man hoped to see any-happy day, far less such a day as that the termination of which we are now approaching_ (Great cheering.) When I first commenced my humble ca reer, what was the station then held by the Noble individual on my left hand (Earl Grey) ? Certainly one which might be en vied by an honest man, but which, for an ambitious man of the world, would have had few charms. That noble individual, at that period, wanted not the smiles of a Court to encourage him in his then apparently hopeless career; he was sure that there was then working for him in your minds that which was operating, and in full action, in his—a perception of what the people of England wanted, namely, a fair control over their own affairs ; and he was well assured that having obtained it, they would show by their conduct that they knew the value of the blessing. Gentlemen, have they not shown it to-day ? ( Protracted cheering.) Have they not shown that they are aware to whom, in the greatest possible degree, a vast reward is due ? Have they not shown in this northern metropolis that the great author, I may say, or at least the consummator of that great measure, will receive, and has received, at their hands that which he has so long expected, and for which he has so long arduously laboured, namely—the approbation of his fellow-countrymen ?—( Immense applause.) These re-unions, if I may so describe them—for I believe this is the first of the kind in point of importance that ever occurred in the world, and I hope it will not be the last ; I say, gentlemen, these large meetings afford a great lesson to public men ; they teach them their duty. If there were anything wanting to tell a Minister what is expected of him at the hands of the people of the United Empire, we should learn it cer tainly from what has been addressed to us by a Noble Friend of mine, Lord Durham. I, for one, am most willing to accept what he has been so kind as to address to the King's Government in perfect good part. I do believe that it is the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to carry into full and effi cient effect, all those benefits which the people of England and Great Britain have a right to expect ; else why, Gentlemen, do I belong to the present Administration. On what other ground could I have joined it ? lam one of the people ; I belong to the people in every sense of the word; it is in order to carry into effect that which I believe from my conscience to be the real popular effects of the Reform Bill, that I have consented to Join the Administration. I am not, any more than my Noble Friend (Lord Durham) is, the least afraid of any lessons which the people may read to the Administration. ' I know very well that what was said by a great man of former days is perfectly true — namely, that although the opinions of the people may be often wrong, their feelings are generally and almost universally right; and without indulging in any vain or idle declamation, I think I can promise you that any mem ber of the present Government will at any time be too happy to meet any assembly of his fellow-countrymen, before them to lay open the whole of his public conduct, by them to be judged, to them to appeal, and from them to re ceive what he considers his best reward.—(Loud and conti nued cheering.) It does not become me to trespass any lon ger on your time.--( Applause, and cries of " Go on.") There are circumstances to which it would be indecorous for me to allude more particularly, which must for ever attach me with the warmest gratitude to the reformers of Edinburgh ; and having observed for now nearly a quarter of a century your brilliant and consistent career, allow me to congratulate you on the happy results of all your great, your almost unprece dent efforts. I recollect, gentlemen, very well, when the at tempt at gaining two freely chosen representatives for the city of Edinburgh was, as it were, the touchstone with respect to parliamentary reform, in the unreformed House of Commons Cheers) —and I recollect, well, that when that assembly would listen to—as they then called it—no sweeping measure of reform; they were, I will not say reduced, but somewhat persuaded by the arguments of my Right Hon. Friend and Colleague, your present member, Mr. Abercrombie, to confess, that there was something like a blot to be hit in the representation of the people—( Loud cheers and laughter.) Most happy was I, as a real, and—if I may presume to call myself—a Radical Reformer, to find that they would not listen even to your present representative, with a view to the amendment of this acknowledged abuse. It was a great card for the Reformers of England, gentlemen, that Edinburgh did not herself receive partial relief at that time. It enabled you to be partakers and enjoyers of that great triumph for which we have to thank the Noble Individual on my left hand. It enabled you to see a complete and thorough reform of the representation of England ; and, gentlemen, that you may politically and personally long enjoy the benefits of that great measare, is my most hearty and earnest prayer. I shall always, gentlemen, if I may be permitted to repeat it, carry with me a most grateful sense of the reception you have been kind enough to give me this evening. I shall never for get that it has been my good fortune not only to witness the great exertions of Earl Grey, but also to see those exertions rewarded in a manner which he has so feelingly and truly told you, is most acceptable to his generous and noble nature.— ( Great cheering.) The LORD ADVOCATE proposed " The Solicitor-General." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL returned thanks, and gave " The success of education throughout the empire," which was drank with great applause. Earl Grey, and the noblemen and gentlemen who accom panied him were most enthusiastically cheered on their retiring from the pavilion, and during their progress to the city. The company then departed, apparently much gratified with an entertainment of a most memorable nature, both with reference to the occasion itself, and the splendid and novel scale on which it was celebrated. We cannot conclude this report without expressing our admiration of the excellent arrangements made by John Gracie, Esq., to whom the arduous task of superintending the extensive preparations had been confided. We are under great obligations to that gentleman for his unremitting atten tions, and are most happy to have this opportunity of acknow ledging them. NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Several committees have been appointed, in which we recog nize the names of many .of the resident landowners, wealthy merchants, and respectable traders, who have come forward, and with a patriotic zeal that does credit to them, and shows their opinion of this vast undertaking, have expressed them selves ready to join and support with their best interests a pro ject, which is calculated, beyond all others, to bring into ope ration the latent and immense internal resources of wealth and prosperity which Ireland is known to possess, and which, from the long period of misrule and neglect she has laboured under, have hitherto been, if not totally hidden from her sight, at least completely withheld from her grasp. We see also, that in effecting this great change, a highly moral good must necessarily be wrought in the miserable slate of the working classes in that country. We have but to look to the effects produced in Scotland by the working of similar joint-stock banks, to be convinced of this ; and when we consider that, in that country, with a population of under three millions, there is now a circulation of 20,000,000/.—whilst in Ireland, with a population of nine millions, the circulation is only 7,000,0001., we cannot but at once see the wide field which is open for this grand project, and the immense good which may be expected to result to the lower classes, holding, as it does, the strongest inducements to industry and sobriety. We yesterday observed in St. George's church, many of the most distinguished members of the British Asso ciation. The Lord Chancellor was sitting with Lord Jeffrey ; and these early friends, as they walked from church arm-in arm, attracted considerable notice. The Rev. Mr. Candlish's discourse from Acts xvii. v. 23, " Whom ye ignorantly wor ship, Him declare I unto you," was particularly appropriate. In a very able manner he alluded to the scientific transactions of the preceding week, and contended that such investigations, so far from being hostile to true religion, tended to strengthen and establish it. He wisely remarked, that the ascertaining of truth could not be offensive to the God of truth.—Caledo nian Mercury. CHELTENHAM, SEPT. 16.—This place still con tinues as full of company as ever. Every morning the pro menade of the Montpellier is literally crowded with visitors. The Literary and Philosophical Institution have just com menced their session by a course of lectures on electricity and magnetism, by Dr. Simon, the first of which took place last night, and was numerously attended. Gustavus still conti nues to attract full houses at the theatre. FAMILY OF THE KING OF SPAIN.--The Prin cess de la Beira, the Prince d'Asturias, and the two Infantes last evening reached the residence prepared for them in Han over-square. Lord Vernon (whose touching at Lisbon we men tioned three or four days ago) has returned from his visit. to the Mediterranean, accompanied by his Lady, to his castle on the coast at St. Clair, near Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. The voyage was made in his Lordship's yacht, a vessel as large as a ten-gun brig. During the voyage his Lordship's surgeon died. REPRESENTATION OF PAISLEY.—We have seen it mentioned that Rome of the electors of Paisley are disposed to call upon Sir C. Wetherell, Mr. Croker, or Sir E. Sugden, to stand forward as the Conservative candidate for the vacant seat. They are all first-rate men. We believe, however, that Sir Charles is sure for Oxford, and Sir Edward for Cambridge at the next election. Mr. Croker, therefore, appears to be the most desirable candidate. —Edinburgh Evening Post. HAGUE, SEPT. 10.—A splendid fete and concert were given on the Bth instant to the Princess Albert of Prus sia by the Countess de Rossi, so well known as the enchanting Sontag: Upwards of 300 persons were present, including the corps diplomatique, the Dutch noblesse, &c. &c. The interest ing Countess, who is so constant a sufferer from weak ankles as to be unable to walk, was obliged to be wheeled in her chair to receive her distinguished guests, but delighted them by singing several favourite airs, in which her powers are un rivalled, proving that her voice had, if possible, acquired fresh force and sweetness since her marriage, when she retired from the public vices, and has since been resident at the Hague, where the Count de Rossi fills a diplomatic situation. LETTERS OF HORACE WALPOLE TO SIR I-10- RACE MANN.—We are not surprised to see a third edition of these bewitching volumes, which not only deserve a place in every library, but also claim the perusal of every one who wishes to possess an intimate knowledge of the politics, lite rature, and fashion—the wits, statesmen, and kings of the last century. The curious facts here disclosed are rendered still more interesting by the spirit and elegance with which they are written. Walpole's vivacity was indeed invincible. The present edition has the advantage of being much cheaper than the two former impressions of this new work of the "prince of epistolary writers." FRENCH PAPERS (From the Journal des Debats.) We have received letters from Madrid, and the Revista of ne date of the 9th. The Ministry received a fresh defeat in the sitting of the Procuradores of the 9th. A change of Mi nistry appears more likely every day. The Finance Committee was expected to make its report on the 11th or 12th. It is still asserted that they have determined, as we stated yesterday, by a majority of 5 against 4, to acknowledge fully and entirely the loans from 1820 to 1823, and to annul completely the loans since 1823. The following is an extract from the Revista of the 9th :—" The Chamber of Procuradores was this day occu pied by the consideration of the petition of rights. The 4th article, which is to the following effect—' The law has no re tro-active effect; no Spaniard shajl be tried by commissions, &c.' was adopted. The discussion on the sth article, which establishes the inviolability of every man's house, was adjourned, and the Chamber passed to the consideration of the 6th arti cle, which is as follows :—' The law is equal for all Spaniards ; consequently it protects, rewards, and punishes equally.' On the first paragraph of this article being put to the vote, it was adopted by a majority of 72 against 23. M. Martinez de la Rosa and Count Toreno voted against it, and their votes were received with murmurs. The second paragraph was rejected by a majority of 52 against 34 ; M. Martinez de la Rosa and Count Toreno also voted against this paragraph. From the Indicateur of Bordeaux.) ST. JEAN-DE-LUZ, SEPT. 11.—We have heard that an en gagement took place on the sth of this month at Vergara. The garrison of that place, combined si ith the Urban Militia, opposed with a truly courageous resistance the rebels, who were repelled with loss. On the 7th the rebels endeavoured to get possession of the position of Amesqueta, but they also failed in this fresh attempt. It is said that Zumalacarregui was slightly wounded in this action. The rebels were under the command of that chief, who bad with him Ithurraga, Sagastibelza, and another brigadier. The success obtained by the Queen's troops was yesterday announced by bulletin to the troops cantoned at Irun. Several Jesuits, who were staying at the Passage to preserve the materiel of the college, have re ceived an irrevocable order from the Spanish Government to quit the Peninsula in the space of two hours after the receipt of such order. They accordingly departed, and on the same day passed through our town on their way to Bayonne. It appears that they have resolved to form their establishment in Savoy. (From the National of 1834.) We are informed by letters from the frontiers of Poland, dated the 17th of August, 1834, that "the persecutions in Poland and Lithuania have reached to an incredible height. In the single government of Grodno there are upwards of 400 citizens in prison, principally for having given an asylum to the emissaries of the emigration. The reception of one of these unfortunate individuals is considered a sufficient reason for throwing people into dungeons, or dragging them to Si beria. The Diet of Grodno lately sent a petition to the Em peror, praying for the preservation of the language of the country in the courts of justice and in schools, and also for the liberation of some prisoners. The Governor of the pro vince, a being devoid of all feeling, seized the petition, and the principal authors of it were subjected to incredible perse cutions ! At Warsaw the Poles are treated with similar ri gour. A young man, 14 years old, named Kalylinski, has just been sent to Russia -to serve as a private soldier for life, for having taken a branch from the tree which overhangs the tomb of the brave Zawina, who was hanged by the order of the Vice-Czar Paskewitch. All the efforts of the agents of Russia are directed to the introduction into Lithuania of the schismatic Greek religion, of which the Emperor is the su preme head. To effect this result the Catholic churches are suppressed in all villages containing less than 300 families." (From Galignani's Messenger.) The King, Queen, and Royal Family returned to St. Cloud at half-past 7 o'clock last evening. They left the Palace of Compiegne yesterday at half-past 12 o'clock. All the troops of the camp were drawn out, and formed a double line, as when the Royal party arrived. The King rode his horse, ac companied by the Duke of Orleans, to the end of the line, when his Majesty entered his carriage, and his Royal High ness took leave and returned to Compiegne. The King and Queen of the Belgians returned to Brussels on Saturday, from their tour in Flanders.

Secretary Caballero said, that in accordance with the rules in the standing orders, two committees had been appointed, one to examine the draft of law on the monetary system presented by the Minister of Finance, the other to examine the draft of law to be this day presented for the exclusion from the succession of Don Carlos de Bourbon and his de scendants. The draft was then referred to the committee appointed for its examination. PETITION OF RIGHTS. Secretary Trueba read the fourth article, which was now the subject of debate. It stated that "the laws should have no retro-active effect, and that no Spaniard should be tried by commissions, but Only by the forms of law established prior to the commission of his offence." Senor Cosio did not oppose the principle embodied in this article, but its application only, since it might be inferred from it that the laws of Spain were opposed to that maxim which was acknowledged by all legislators. Secretary Gonzales professed himself of quite a different opinion, insisting that the article was useful, and detailing some instances in which the principle it involved had been infringed. In order that such violations might not in future occur, he thought it proper that the article should be approved in all its parts. Senor Torremejia thought the first part of the article should be held to be a principle, and not considered as a law, and suggested that the article might .be amended thus :—" No Spaniard shall be tried but by laws promulgated and tribunals established prior to the commission of his offence." The article in its original form was then put to the vote and agreed to. An addition was then proposed by Senor Domecq, to the effect that the same principle should be applied to " civil causes." Martinez de la Rosa said that nothing had been more com mon than to apply to the authorities for the removal of causes pending before the tribunals, and for suspending their course in virtue of a Minister's order. The present Minister of Grace and Justice had for some months past been endeavouring to check this abuse, and the proposition of Senor Domecq would therefore be an advantageous introduction into the petition. Senor Lopez thought the insertion might be found difficult in the terms proposed, and suggested the following form : " The law shall have no retro-active effect, and no Spaniard shall be tried by commissions, but only by the tribunals esta blished for civil or criminal causes prior to the commission of his offence." Senor Torremejia thought, that as so much difficulty had been started as to the inditing of Senor Domecq's proposition, it had better be reserved till the consideration of the ninth article. This was agreed to, and the proposition postponed. The fifth article was then proposed. It stated that " every Spaniard's house is an asylum which cannot be violated except under the circumstances and in the forms prescribed by law." Senor Medrano disapproved of the article altogether, as in deed he did of the whole of the petition, believing it inoppor tunely introduced at the present time, and under existing cir cumstances. Senor Trueba spoke warmly in defence of the petition. Its opponents had admitted that expediency might require the temporary suspension of social rights ; but this very admission implied the previous existence of those rights. Count Toreno was of opinion that the article as altered was more admissible than before, but even in its present shape he scarcely saw the use of adopting it. The principle it embo died was acted on in almost all countries, nor was the power of entering the houses of the citizens stretched anywhere beyond the limits prescribed by the established law. After some further discussion, the article was agreed to, and the 6th article proposed. It stated that " the law is equal for all Spaniards, and consequently equally protects, rewards, and punishes all." Martinez de la Rosa observed that the present alteration and the mode of its introduction, betrayed the weakness of the position endeavoured to be maintained in the article, which— like all the rest---was false when considered in its practical application. " All Spaniards are equal before the law ;" this was a clear principle, since the laws should not partake of the character of partiality. That the law equally rewards, punishes, and protects, was by no means so certain a proposi tion, and to proclaim it would be to set the people in oppo sition to those very principles on which society is based, and on which the Spanish, like all other monarchies, is founded. In all monarchies there were established certain hierarchies, which were considered necessary ingredients in that form of government. In Spain the dignity of a Procer is maintained, - not with the view of favouring persons, but because the general good of the Stat e requ i re d t h a t th e Proceres should be in some respects independent of the laws which affect others, in order to guarantee the security of their persons and the freedom of their votes. In the same manner, and. for a like reason, ex emption was made in favour of the Procuradores. Was not the heir to the throne more an object of protection by the laws than any other individual of the State ? Were not certain classes of society in the enjoyment of certain privileges ? Did not a privilege for the military exist? And was it not, there fore, absurd to have one law to affect all equally, and to pro claim those maxims which were sure to show themselves applicable when put to the test of practice ? Such conduct, he contended, was placing in an inconsistent position the Spa nish people, who obeyed laws with pleasure and readiness when they were just, and respected privileges which were inviolable and indisputable. Senor Lopez.--The petition, according to the terms in which it is conceived, does not refer to any thing but the maintenance of equality in the eye of the law, and is in no way adverse to the order of the hierarchies established by society. It recommends that both high and low should be dealt with alike when they violate the laws ; and, far from there being any circumstances or considerations favourable to the former (as Senor Martinez de la Rosa vainly imagines), the high, in case of such violation, ought to be considered most culpable, as owing to their ele vated station and superior education, they may be sup posed to be better acquainted with the law, and their dis regard of it is therefore the more criminal. A robbery or a murder may be committed by men of high as well as ob scure rank, but justice, which in such cases takes cognizance only. of the motives which instigate to crimes, and the evils which ensue from them, cannot permit that the punishment of one individual should be mitigated on account of his rank or wealth, whilst inflicted on the other in its full extent, because he is less favoured by fortune. Senor Martinez de la Rosa has quoted as an example to the contrary, the parti cular privilege enjoyed by the Proceres, and which we our selves enjoy ; but I must be permitted to observe that this is stopping short half way, without coming to the point in ques tion. But s in both instances, as well as in that of the military law, which has also been referred to, the rule by which the case is judged and the actions qualified may be different. However, the moment must arrive for executing condign punishment, and then there ought to prevail for all, and in all cases and circumstances, the general maxim that in the eye of the law there is no difference or inequality among criminals. Senor Martinez de la Rosa added, that the law affords greater protection to the minor than to the major; but this is satisfy ing oneself with a very superficial reflection without examining the matter in its full extent. The law, it is true, provided that, generally speaking, no one under 17 years of age can be con demned to death ; but this exception is not a privilege, as Senor Martinez de la Rosa has erroneously stated it to be ; but is sup ported on another principle of true equality—an equality which would vanish if one rule were applicable to both per sons ; for a minor cannot be expected to possess the same un derstanding as one of mature age, and punishment would be very unequally dealt between them, if an exact proportion were not observed between the major and minor culpability of the offenders. The petition has not been opposed on any other ground, and therefore I think it unnecessary'to occupy • • the attention of the Estamento on a matter so clear. • Count de Toreno observed that the last speaker had taken a wrong view of the question when he maintained that the prin ciple of equality was founded in nature, whereas nothing was more unequal than man in a state of nature. Senor Lopez replied that he had been misunderstood, for he had said quite the contrary of that which was attributed to him. It had already often been stated in that chamber that men were by nature unequal, and that the true end of society was to establish equality among them. The subject being declared sufficiently discussed, Senor Ro driguez Paterna proposed, and the Estamento agreed, that the proposition should be divided, and the parts put to the vote se parately. This decision caused much agitation in the gallery. The question was then put on the first part which was car ried by 72 to 23. On the contrary, the second part was rejected by ,#2 to 34. BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 15. —His Majesty before he left Ostend gave audience to the local authorities, to whom he said that he was extremely satisfied with his residence in that town. His Majesty also sent valuable presents to all those in whose houses the principal persons in his suite had lodged. Several ladies are to receive the iron cross for the care they took of the wounded. The committee is now completing the examination of the claims which some writers may have to the national reward for having combatted in the ranks of the ancient opposition to the Dutch Government, without having acquired additional claims since the resolution. There was yesterday a preparatory meeting of the electors for the purpose of preparing candidates for the nine vacancies in the municipal council of the city. The most remarkable incident at this meeting was, that on the proposal of several,and on the special application of several merchants and rich proprietors, of the Jewish religion, M. Adolphus Haumann, the eldest son and partner in the great house of Louis Haumann and Co., booksellers, and now President of the Israelite Consistory of Belgium. was approved of as one of the candidates, chiefly on the following grounds : The Israelites have now at Brussels a pretty numerous community, and their worship is daily established. The im portance of the commerce which many of them carry on, and the value of the (real) property which they possess, entitle them to have some small shares in the Municipal Government. It is becoming the capital of Belgium to give the first instance of an. act of distributive justice which the freedom of religious worship and the liberty of opinion, established by our institu tions, seems to recommend. It is to be expected that such a choice would undeceive foreigners, and especially the Germans, respecting the results of our revolution, and it may induce wealthy Israelites to leave Germany when they are subjected to grievous disabilities, and come and settle among us. It may be remembered that the election of M. Engler, a Pro testant, as a member of the Senate, had a very favourable effect both at home and abroad. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 16.—Nothing has yet transpired respect ing the success of the Commission appointed to negociate a commercial treaty with France. We learn that M.

VIENNA, SEPT. 6.—lt is expected that several members of the Imperial Family who reside in other provinces, for instance the Archduke Joseph Palatine of Hungary, the Archduke Raina, Viceroy of Lombardy and Venice, &c., will meet here. Prince Metternich is gone back to Boden and will come to Vienna with his family on the 9th to stay for the season. Na mik Pacha, the Turkish ambassador to London, who arrived here yesterday, had audience to-day in company with Prince Mavrojeni of Baron Von Ottenfels. Letters from Scutari of the 14th August say that four regiments of regular Turkish infantry had arrived there ; that a report was imme diately spread that the Porte, in vi o lati on o f th e p r i v il eges lately promised to the inhabitants of Scutari, intended to in troduce into that province the new system of recruiting the army and levying the taxes. Though this is improbable, and it was affirmed by persons deserving of credit that these troops were only on their march to Bosnia, extraordinary uneasiness and dissatisfaction were manifested by the whole population, so that the Pacha was apprehensive that tranquillity and order might be interrupted. He therefore had recourse to a strata gem, called together the principal inhabitants under the pretext of having an important communication to make to them; and, when more than a hundred had as sembled, he shut them up in the citadel, declaring that he must keep them as hostages for the preservation of tranquillity. This perfidious conduct had only increased the fermentation, by greatly confirming the opinion that the Porte really had some intentions hostile to the inha bitants, so that it was every moment . expected that their dis content would openly manifest itself. Every thing was, how ever, quiet when the letters came away.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Sept. 12. DRESDEN, SEPT. 5.—A Royal decree was communicated to the Chambers to-day, stating that the session will be closed on the 30th October. M. Von Polenz made a report to the First Chamber of the estimate of the expenditure for the war department for the year 1835, amounting to 1,163,078, which will be a saving of 118,516 rix-dollars effected by the Government, which is a considerable larger reduction than was expected. The military journal lately gave a view of the military budgets of several European States, showing the expenses of each man, officers, &c. included. It showi that each soldier costs in France 350 - florins, Prussia 324, Hanover 188, Hesse Darmstadt 147, Wurtemberg 134, and Saxony 202 ; but according to the new estimate it will be only 160.—Frankfort Papas, Sept. 13. Business at the port of Griinsby appears to be on the increase ; three steam-mills have been lately been erected there, for the purpose of crushing seeds and bones, grinding corn, and dressing flour ; and after an investigation into the accounts of the Dock Company, at their annual meeting held on Monday week, (the Right Hon. Charles Tennyson, M.P., in the chair,) it also appeared that the Dock dues had increased a few hundred pounds more than the preceding year.—Hull Observer. _ ----- IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.—We have much plea sure in directing attention to an invention recently discovered, which promises in a considerable degree to increase the public comfort. Mr. F. A. Bernhardt, a distinguished architect and civil engineer of Berlin, after many years' application, has found out a method of constructing fire-places, so that they shall not emit smoke either in the chamber or in the street, at the same time that a current of warm air is diffused throughout, the building, which in purity is equal to atmospheric air. By_ this invention, without altering the stoves as at present colt:, structed, two-thirds of the fuel now used will create the neces sary degree of warmth. It has been applied with the most complete success in Prussia. The Royal apartment s o f hl Prussian Majesty's Palaces at Berlin, Potsdam, and Charlot; - tenburg had for ages been extremely unwholesome, in consi quence of the great quantity of smoke which escaped from thq chimneys into the chambers. This, and inconveniences of .a similar nature in the Royal Post-office at Berlin, and in other public and private buildings in that city, in the princely villa at Glienicke, in the Royal Post-coach Manufactory at DusseL, dorf, in various houses in Magdeburg, and in many other part of Germany, have been completely remov e d by thi s di scover y.. We have seen testimonials of the efficacy of Mr. Bernhardt' invention from his Excellency Baron Bulow, the Prussian Ambassador ; from other Ministers of the King of Prussia, particularly Baron Von Schuckman, Minister for Commercial Affairs ; from Baron Von Maltzahn, the Superintendent 4 the Royal Palaces and Gardens ; from Baron Schoning, Lord' Chamberlain; from General Baron Von Nagler, General Post-' master ; from Schinkel, Chief Architect and Director of the Public Works ; and from the Chief of the Senate of Magde burg. We need scarcely point out the importance of such a discovery in its application to this metropolis, and to all manu facturing towns, or i t s value as a source of economy, health, and convenience. • DONCASTER RACES.-(BY EXPR SS.) • •.• DONCASTER, WEDNESDAY AFTER The Four-year-old Stakes of 50 slvs. each, 20 ft., and 25itddisti.

The start was appointed for a quarter past three o'clock, at which time the horses were mounted. Plenipotentiary was the lion of the day, and every eye was fixed on him as he took his preliminary gallop before the Grand Stand. Shilelagh was also watched with no small anxiety, on account of an old prejudice that horses trained by the Chifneys are generally too light ; he looked all that a racehorse should look, and none the worse for having Chifney on his back. General Chasse was greatly admired, and many augured that if the pace was not too strong he would not be far off. Warlaby Baylock also attracted a good deal of attention, but scarcely anybody be stowed a glance upon Touchstone, and those who did favour him with a look only became more eager to bet against him. Betting.—At a late hour on Monday night a good deal of business was transacted ; 5 to 4 was laid on Plenipotentiary to a large amount, 5 to 1 about Shilelagh, and Bto 1 about Warlaby Baylock being taken quite as eagerly; Chasse was at 10 to 1, and Touchstone at 30 to 1. This morning Shile lagh and Warlaby increased in favour, and large sums were laid out upon them : Plenipotentiary, as a natural consequence, declining. Immediately before starting, the prices were 11 to 10 on Plenipotentiary, 7 to 2 agst Shilelagh, 6 to 1 agst Warlaby Baylock, 11 to 1 agst General Chasse, 20 to 1 agst Bran, 25 to l agst Lady le Gros, 33 to 1 agst Louden, 40 to 1 agst the winner, and 50 to 1 in running. At the third at tempt the horses got off, Bubastes taking the lead, followed at about a length and a half by Lady le Gros, Bran, Warlaby Baylock, and Valparaiso, these four being close together; Plenipotentiary and Chasse laid in the middle, and Shilelagh last of all till they got over the hill, when he took a position nearer the centre. In this way they went to the Red House, where a most significant change took place. Plenipotentiary was already in difficulty, and Conolly called on him in vain ; whip and spur were resorted to, but there was no response. Plenipo, the pride of the south the terror of the north, was actually beaten three-quarters of a mile from home. Luckily for him Mr. Chishoim's filly had already cut it, or he would have been last. Having disposed of the crack horse we may return to the Red House, where we find Bubastes about to give up, having run quite as far as the Bla,cklocks generally do. Lady de Gros now came in front, Bran, Warlaby Bay lock, and Valparaiso still in front, and General Chasse just on the point of joining company. On reaching the last turn Touchstone, who had hitherto laid very patiently in the centre, went up to the leading horses, and at the distance was alongside Lady le Gros and Chasse ; Shilelagh also got nearer, but was never able to reach them; even at this part of the race it was quite evident that Touchstone was safe to win. Half way up the distance he went right away from his horses, and although Gen. Chasse and Bran did make a struggle, .it was only for second place, which Bran obtained by about a head; Touchstone defeating him by nearly two lengths. Shilelagh was beaten about three parts of a length from the third; behind him were Louden, Lady le Gros, then Warlaby Baylock, Bubastes, Valparaiso, and Plenipo (last of the lot), and, as whipper-in, the Partisan filly, but a terrible long way astern. It is difficult to re concile this result with public running, unless we assume (as many do) that Plenipo was upset by the severity of the pace through having been short of work ; had he been third or fourth we might have believed that the Derby was a mistake, and that the south country horses had been overrated, but coming in last but one we must enter our protest against this being looked upon as his running. We have all along de scribed him as a very superior horse, and it will doubtless be thrown in our teeth that we have made a " mistake." Our calculations, however, have been founded on public running, and we have this consolation, that we have sinned in good company. The Stakes were worth 2,0751.

Early in the forenoon of yesterday the result of the race for the St. Leger Stakes was known at Tattersall's, where several sporting gentlemen and others were anxiously waiting for the arrival of an express from Doncaster. The issue of the race when announced occasioned infinite surprise to all, and great disappointment to many who betted largely on Plenipo, which horse, with Shilelah, fell far short of the expectations formed of them by their backers, who had not the most remote idea that Touchstone would have been the winning horse: Large sums have been won and lost on the race. 'Tattersall's pre sented yesterday a scene of great bustle. Great astonishment existed at the positive statement in the Times that Plenipoten tiav had won. SWIM TV SBURY RACES, SEPT. 16.
