This is a first-class frigate, and will, it is anticipated, prove herself an ornament to Ameri can naval architecture. The brig of war Dolphin, belonging to the Home Squadron, will sail in a few days on a cruise, to assist vessels in distress off the coast. There is a fine brig-of,-var on the stocks, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which will be ready for sea in the ensuing spring. The United States steamer. Missouri will make a trial trip down the bay in the course of the week. Her engine has already been tried, as she lies alongside the wharf, and found to answer all expectations. The sloop-of-war Ontario will sail shortly for New Orleans, to become the receiving ship of that station. COLOSSAL METROPOLITAN MUSIC-HALL. Mr. Hansom, the well-known architect of the Birmingham Town-hall, built by him mainly with referenee to musical purposes, delivered a lecture last week, in Store- street, expla planatory of the above project, and the means to be adopted towards its accomplishment. This project is not a mere splendid architectural hypothesis invented by Mr. Hansom, to amuse or astonish, but one which has its origin in the de mand occasioned by the advancement and ex tension of music among the million. Mr. Joseph Mainzer, a foreigner, has lately spread, in an almost magic manner, a wide and deep love, among the lower classes for this science. Thou sands of minds, hitherto rude and unhumanized, have been subjugated by, the spells of sound; arid Mr. Mainzer's clear, precise, and harmo nious system, has won to him, in an unprece dented manner, crowds of voluntary learners and hearers. Six months alone have brought five thousand under his superintendence, and the first time that the necessity of a larger music-hall than any yet constructed, appeared last December, when, at the first union of all the metropolitan classes, no hall capable of con taining so large a number of singers and per formers, with a correlative proportion of bearers, was anywhere obtainable. A hall half as large again as Westininst , ...r Hall, or nearly twice and a half larger than either Exeter Hall or the Birmingham Town Hall, has now become an absolute requitision, and the same sa gacity which discovered this first necessity, has as speedily led to adoptive measures for its exe cution. To the feasihiLy of Mr. Hanson's plans, there can be no diffidence; the fabric he pro poses to raise, as • a temple to o u r English Poly hymnia, however apparently immense may at first appear its dimensions, is not of magnitude or grandeur greater than demanded, seeing that her shrines are already planted in the hearts of a numerous people, whose new wants, improved pleasures, and moral condition, call loudly and peremptorily for the same.

S.—Bucks Neeld, John—Cricklade The proposed Colossal Music Hall will ex ceed in every respect that of Birmingham. Its form is to be a square of 150 feet, and its height 120 feet. The Birmingham Hall is 140 feet long, 65 feet high, and 65 feet wide, and contains in area 9,100 feet. Exeter Hall is not so long, but wider, and contains in area 9,956. Westminster Hall, the noblest apartment in Eng land, if not in the world, is 238 feet long, and 68 feet wide, thus containing an area of 16,184 feet; but the proposed music hall, being a square of 150 feet, will contain in area of 22,500 teet—that is, it will be half as large agai n as West m i ns t er Hall, and nearly twice and a half larger than either Birmingham or Eketer Hall ! In height, however, it will greatly surpass any one of the three above-mentioned buildings; in fact, it will be as high again as their average heights. It is always desirable to dispense with pillars in the interior of a music hall. But then. as such buildings should be large •in area, and lofty in height, the difficulty arises as to the means of supporting the roof. The architect of the pro posed music hall, availing himself of the use of iron, and of the advance of the mechanic arts, has discovered the means of erecting a flat, and almost imperishable suspension roof, the prin ciple of which has been folly tested, and by which he will be enabled to erect his building at a sum not greater, comparatively speaking, than the roof alone, upon the old principle, would amount to. The Colossal Music Hall will accommodate about 20,000 persons standing, and between 7,000 and 8,000 sitting. The design fin. the organ, which we have seen, and which has been pro nounced perfectly praCticable by one of the first organ-builders of the day, presents to the view a forest of pipes, and forms the crown, as it were of the orchestra, which will arise in an in dined plane, arranged with terrace-like platthrms and parapets, accommodating 2,000 or 3,000 vocal and instrumental perflirmers. The or chestra will he nearly 90 feet high at its summit, and 150 feet in width. The organ will be about 70 feet high, descending in some parts and in corporating with the architectural arrangements of the orchestra. It is intended to attach to the building a College of Music, to be supported by the admission-fees to the periodical perform ances in the hall, and-by the money derived by the letting of the room for great banquets, and other public purposes. The firm of the proposed building, according to the proportions fixed above, causes it to assume a shape nearly spherical, and consequently the best adapted to the reception of bodies of sound : indeed, we could propose to Mr. Hansom to observe this principle to a greater extent in °Oct particulars. Knowing. concaves and curved re cesses to be essentially the best recipients and retainers of sound, the•architect should here put himself in alliance with iicou.stie principles, and, at the same time that a. done-shaped roof should unequivocally be . adopted, angularity of corners should be avoided, and as much of spericity or ro tund form everywhere had in vogue. When it is considered that the cost ofthis colosial and national fabric is fixed only at -30,0001., at a day wren 80,0001. are expended upon royal stables, and that ground lies ready for the parpose, it would be shame if the sympathies or encouragement of the age were to act the laguard. The new awakened spell of music is slidaig into the souls of thousands, harping amid the bosom chords. and attaining to a beautiful, because gentle, humanity, the feelings of incalculable numbers, Who heretofore were hard of disposition and in corrigible, or, perimpg, reprobate of nature. It is one of those agencies in the present 4e which, with almost an apostolic power, es purifying. and • moraliSing- the natures of men and women, and those , who have listened to the choral exercires perfinaned by up wards of five hundred of Mr. Maiuzer's male and female pupils=the-propiiety of their vocal enunciation—the strength of harmony and per fect accordance which' they preserved--could not but discover a degree of cultivation and suscep tibility to the refinements of melody virtually surprising. The "I ueri Habivaorem," a chorus fitted for Priests and Levites, the gravitone pas s sage of "Flowers wherefore do ye bloom," and the hearty hilarity •of "Contentment," , gave abundant token of great vocal masteries that will be achieved hereafter. Independently as Mr. Mainzer is proceeding towards the consum mation of •his great desire, the erection of a fitting hall for his increasing numbers, by apply ing to that purpose the proceeds of his own musical exhibitions, his present plan ought to be known 'universally through the medium of the press. 'When 'being known, it is certain that the philanthropic and high-minded of the land will aid his endeavours, and thereby render moral and elevated, vast bodies of society, by assisting with their-Contributions and personal co-operation. • Neville, R.—Windsor Nieholl, J.—Caidift Norreys, Lord—Oxfordshire Norreys, Sir Denham—Mallow Northland,Viscouot—Dungaimon O'Brien, A,—N.

The only article of iniportance in the Moirid Jour nals of the 14th inst. is a circular from the .qinister of Justice, in the Madrid Gazette, with reference to the dispute with the Court of Rome. The circular says : " The Government knoWs that these fruitless attempts have for object to ,excite Spaniards to fail in the obe dience which; according to the" Gospel, pastors and con gregations owe to the constituted authorities, with the manifest intention of faVobring the pretensions of the rebel Don Carlos- 7 of rendering null the existing laws which, by the sale of n a ti ona l property , h ave create d new interests, and of condemning- all doctrines contrary to the interests of the Court of Rome, which, whilst it re ceives our money for granting apostolic favours, accuses of impiety the majority of Spaniards, and seeks to alarm their conscience." The,.' circular then goes on to say that, although the Regent feels convinced that the Pre lates of the Established Church will not obey orders from any foreign authority, he thinks it right to desire :In diocesan Bishops who may receive apostolic letters of the 22d ult., plemary indulgences, immediately to for ward them to the Minister of Grace and 'Justice, and to pay no attention to the injunctions contained in them.

A Ineetini, was held in the Guildhall, Norwich, on Tuesday, in opposition to this hateful tax, the Alayor in the chair. A petition to the Queen, and another to the House of Lords, were unani_ mously agreed to, and received in the course of the day a great number of signatures. At a meeting of the United Reform Club, held at Bradford yes. terday, strong resolutions were also passed against the proposed measure. The solicitors, an influential body, are about to make common cause in resisting the scheme. A Correspondent states that, taking into account the heavy stamp duty paid by solicitors, and the charge of HI. in the metropolis raid 81. in the country, a profes sional gentleman making by a country praCtice 2001. a year, would pay to the revenue in direct taxation...not less than 7 per cent. AN INQUEST BY ANTICIPATION LAMENTABLE CONSEQUENCES OF THE INCOME-TAX DEATH OF JOHN BULL, ESQ. - CORONER'S INQUEST An Inquest was held this morning (October sth, 1843), before Mr. WAKLEY Coroner, and a highly respectable Jury, on . the body of John Bull, Esq., who was found dead in his bed, and worn away to a shadow—in fact, picked clean to the bone, as much so, as if a parcel of hungry . vultures had been dining on his remains. The countenance wore an expres sidn of great discontent and anxiety, and a frown still hung about the forehead, as if the old gentleman had died .while in the act of launching an anathema against the "eyes" of his medical attendants, both of whom were present at the Inquest. After the Jury had viewed the body, they returned to the Inquest-room, when the following evidence was adduced : Doctor JOHN RUSSELL M.D., who was the first witness examined, deposed that he had been for some years in the habit of attending the deceased, who, though somewhat testy and wayward in his temper, generally enjoyed pretty good health. About the year 1830, he suffered severely from an inflammatory attack, well known to the faculty by the name of " The Reform Fever," but by cooling and aperient medicines, he (witness) restored him to his usual state of convalescence. Since then, however, as he still continued to be indisposed from time to time, he (witness) ordered hiin to 'be shut up in a nice, new, cool work-house, and • his wife to be taken from him, and locked up in a separate ward, so that he might have nothing to annoy him ! Deceased visibly improved under this treatment, especially as he had thin water-gruel twice a Week— CORONER—Pra y, Doctor Russell, did you ever taste this gruel yourself ? . Dr. RUSSELL (making a wry face, as if he were swallowing physic)—NeVer, thank God ! The truth is, it does not agree with 'some constitutions, and mine is one of them. But where it does agree, it agrees wonderfully ! . It answered exceedingly well (continued the witness) in the 'deceased's case; and he would no' doubt have become better than ever he was in his life, if he had not, in sudden fit .of caprice, called in a Quack Doctor—one Peel of Tamworth, since when he had never enjoyed a day's health. The witness added, with lively emotion, that he always predicted Dr. Peel would be the death of John Bull, for to his (witness's) certain knowledge, he had inva riably killed every patient for whom he had ever pre scribed ! Doctor ROBERT PEEL, M.D. was the next wit ness examined—He is a middle-aged man, of imposing address, but with something sly and sinister in the bland expression of his countenance. He entered the Inquest-room with the dignified - gait of a gander, and commenced giving his iviclence with "great buoyancy and alacrity of spirit," which, however, visibly diminished as the examination proceeded. He stated that he was called in, at the deceased's own particular request, and found him labouring under a complication of disorders brought on by the inju dicious treatment of the last witness. Dr. RUSSELL (considerably, excited)--That's a bounce, and you know it ! _ _ Dr. PEEL '(looking viciously at' his rival)—l was fully prepared for this factious opposition on the part of Doctor Russell. CORONER—Doctor Peel, will you be good enough to state the symptoms of deceased's case : Doctor PEEL—(stammering,_and looking greatly embarrassed)Symptoms !—Why, really—oh, the symptoms, you mean !—Why, he was labouring under, what in medical language is called, a decided hic, hcec, hoc, genitive, hujus, dative, huic, comment vous portez vous, quod erat demonstramlum, in saecula saeculorum, &c. A VOICE FROM THE CROWD—Exactly so; so he was, and I never heard the symptoms of his case so clearly explained before. CORONER—Who is that? A JURYMAN (looking round)-oh, its only an old woman named Sibthorp, a great adm'rer of Doctor Peel's. CORONER (with dignity)—Turn the old woman out! After the interruption occasioned by this lively sally of the old gentlewoman had been put an end to, the witness went on to observe, that when he had carefully considered the deceased's case for upwards of six months— CORONER—Upwards of six months ! And was the deceased's malady gaining ground all this time ? Doctor PEEL (looking exceedingly foolish)—l am sorry to say it was, but I never thought of that. When, however, I had sufficiently considered his case, I prescribed a corn plaster, on the homompathic prin ciple, in infinitessimal small 'qua n titi es , w hi c h unfortu nately only increased his irritation, whereupon I thought it best to produce a counter-irritation, so worried him with a parcel of tax-gatherers, in order to divert the excitement occasioned by the corm-plas ter. This succeeded admirably, but it happened tin luckily that the patient died, just as he was getting over t'he irritation produced by the plaster. CORONER — Pray, Doctor Peel, what is your usual mode of practice in ordinary cases of illness ? Dn. PnEL—Why, I have generally found that most patients' maladies originate in an organic derangement of the chest, so I always begin by cleaning that well oat! CORONER (impatiently)---The Jury have teardquite enough. Is there any other witness ? A stout, elderly gentleman, by name Daniel O'Connell, here stepped forward, and deposed that de ceased was his particular friend, and that he.had heard him declare, not three days before his death, that. though Doctor Russell had not done him quite as much good as he might have done, yet that it was the irrita tion occasioned by Doctor Peel's tax-gatherers that had " done his business for him." These, added the witness, were deceased's own words. Mr. O'Connell concluded by stating that if John Bull had taken his advice, he would have kicked off both Doctors, in which case he would now have been, " Great, glorious, and free, First flower of the earth, and first gem of the sea!" No other witnesses having been c - alled, , The CORONER summed up—le observed that, un accustomed as he was to public speaking, he should he brief in his remarks, for, the truth was, the case lay in a nut-shell. There could not be the slightest doubt that the deceased had met his death at the hands of Doctor Peel's tax-gatherers ; and addressing the Re porters, the Learned Coroner added, that he trusted it would go abroad that in all cases of serious indispo sition, a dose like that prescribed by Doctor Peel, must inevitably prove fatal. The Jury, after deliberating a few minutes, re turned a verdict to the effect that "Deceased died by the Visitation of the Tax-gatherer !" The deceased gentleman will, we understand, be buried next Tuesday, at the expense of his numerous friends, Doctor Peel having, in accordance with his usual mode.of practice, effectually cleaned him tut. The proceedings excited intense interest—indeed, such as has r. of been witnessed within the memory of the oldest living inhabitant! ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING IN PARIS, f m ru e m etiangjourney altogether which they I.ad The anti-slavery deputies have returned from Paris, dis appointed,useless. They were cordially received at a pu b l i c meeting of the French Abolition Society, which was numerously at beeuiuvitecderttuaiantltye,,nodf, the public uas at tended, and at which the Duke of Broglie presided. Here the several es . deputies pi • ented the credentials I an(other do cuments of which they were the bearers, and a long and in teresting letter from the venerable Thomas Clarkson was read ; and several of the deputies also expressed their senti• ments at some length, prominence being given to the moral arid religious views of the British abolit.onists, and a some what extended statement of the results of emancipation in the British colonies. In the evening of the same day, after a dinner to which the deputation had been officially invited, and to which there sat down about eighty gentlemen, including many eminent and distinguished persons, Mr. Scob!e addressed the meeting in a manner which excited great attention, and was followed by M. Lamartine with great cordiality. The deputa tion received acts of personal courtesy, not Only from the Duke of Broglie, the President of the French Abolition Society, M. Isambert, its Secretary, M. Lutteroth, and others of its mem bers, but oho from M. Gu'eet, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Upon these occasions they had the pleasure of meeting with many persons of distinction ; and upon them all the anti-slavery question was made a prominent topic of conversation. The deputies feel that the social intercourse with which they we re thus favoured was of a character decidedly useful and influen tial--perhaps more so, in the attitude of the good cause of abolitisn in France, than an y proceedings which could have taken place at a public meeting. During their s'ay in Paris, the deputies had the pleasure of exercising an act of courtesy towards the persons of colour (many of them students from the various colonies) cow resident in that ; 0 —ty, about thirty of whom were invited to a dejeune. Much interest was felt bi the deputies on this occasion, and much gratification in wit nessing those developments o f g ood sense, energy, and virtue, which afford pledges of the speedy elevation of the coloured nces to an equality in all respects with the.other portion of mankind.

SlR,—Your London is the :place for exhibi tionsjrom a fasting man to an earthquake, from any - dust•to • " devil's dust!' 'All are sure of at tentioit and admiration. A Mr. - Ferranti has been showing off his talents in' the wonder way to the wisdom " of the nation ; and verily he has contrived to make a considerable stout-, liberally mixed with a commodity of his own invention, but to which he has attached the name of a worthy not celebrated for hi: strict adherence to truth. Whether the nomenclature is to be con sidered a casual circumstancOr as the result of any smirking sympathy fitr 'the:characteristics of the g ood father, does not appear. But, seriously, it is lamentable that a matt, professing to be a legislator, should be capable of such buffoonery as this Mr. Ferrand, and still more so, that a British House of Commons should be found so ignorant about the manufactures of the country, as to listen to.his wild and childish harawrues. This Member is evidently a young man, bent on showing how little he requires to know of any matter to enable him to talk on it; but that his displays of vanity and lack of common in formation should have elicited applause from many others, is truly remarkable. What was it lie told them ? Just what anybody could, to better purpose—that flour was used for stiffening calicos, and that woollen rags were reduced to materiel for making coarse cloth of, and that, when made, the manufacturer sells them ! Does this gentleman know anything. about the price these stiffened and "devil's dust" fabrics are sold for, or does be suppose that all cloths are one and the same price? One might think so, if the charge brought against the makers is to be taken for aught else than idle vapouring. It is not held a crime for a party to manufactui e coarse goods, unless he palm them on the buyer as of good quality, and take a price accordingly. Had this wondrous wise gentleman stooped to think of the money paid for the,starched calicos he treated Lord 'John RusSisll and Sir. Robert Peel to specimens of, even he might have been led to consider it as somewhat astonishing that, at such prices, they were there at all. But that was a trifle beneath his notice. Enough for him to prove the main fact—that he could produce a piece of cotton cloth starched with flour. Why does he not pull up his shirt collar, and at once demand a Select Committee to investigate the wickedness of his laundress fkir Stiffening it with flour! The one case lies more; at least, in his way, than the other, and would be equally edify ing or diverting. But then the very sapient and Honourable Member has discovered, that in preparing these fabrics some dust, aye, "devil's dust," is let loose, and seems •to think that no one but himself has a right. to - raise any dust in manufactures of a small value. Such exhibitions are disgusting. It is no wonderindeed, that the Legislature has little respect from the country, but it is only surprising it returns any, when such fantastic tricks are suffered_to be played by its Members, nay, applauded by, many of them. What are we to expect froth such men? Are we to be asked to repose confidence in them? Carlisle, March 9, 184'2.. X. INCOM.

COSTA CABRAL HERO OF THE LATE PORTU GUESE REVOLUTION, BY WHICH THE CHAR TER REPLACED THE CONSTITUTION. His Excellency Bernardo Antonio da Costa Cabral was born at Villa d'Algodres, of very low origin, and took his degree a t the University of Coimbra. In 1828 . he was at Oporto when the revolt broke out against Don MigUel,.• and the unfortunate result of that affair drove its authors , ' from their native land, and with them Costa Cabral. He emigrated to France, whence he arrived at Oporto, forming part of, Don Pedro's expedition. As soon as the civil war was at an• end, he was appointed by Silva Carvalho (then Minister of Finance) to the post of Ma gistrate in the Azores, and ultimately was elected Deputy to the last Chartist Chamber, which was dissolved in 1836. In 1837 he sat in the Constituent Con4ress as a Deputy, and gave his adhesion to the party which supported the revolution and the Passoz Ministry, which he abandoned, as being too moderate for him. In July, 1837, a part of the 4th Regiment of Chasseurs, pro claimed the Constitutional Charter of 1826 in the village of Barrea, and in the month following Marshals Saldana and Fer reir also declared themselves for the same charter in the village of Loriez ; but not being sufficiently supported, they were obliged to fall back upon Villa Franca. On the 22d of August, the Constitutional Congress pub lished a manifesto against the Chartist revolt, and the Deputy, Costa Cabral, who had so lately declared himself in favour of the Charter of 1826, signed the manifesto against the Chartists. General Bomfim was sent against the insurgents, and then Costa Cabral, doubtless wishing to see revived the good old days of the French National Convention, offered to accompany the Septembrist army which was going to defend the constitu tion of 1838. In his manifesto, dated Oporto, Jan. 27, 1842, Costa Cabral declares that this same constitution did not pos sess the sympathies of any political party whatsoever. By dint of Costa Cabral's exertions the Chartists were de feated at the plains of Feira. They then proposed an armis tice, and accordingly a meeting of 'the - Commissioners, ap pointed by the two parties, took place on the 30th of August, at Alzuburrota, in order if possible to make arrangements for the termination of the civil war. The Commissioners wbo represented the Marquis Saldanha, proposed " that the consti tutional charter of the monarchy, accepted and sworn to by the nation in 1c26, should be proclaimed, and that the Cortes con voked by the terms of the same charter, should be authorised to make the necessary ref°, ms." Costa Cabral, as Commis s oner representing the September revolution, replied, " that alteration should be made Li the constitution of 1838, ex cepting such act should emanate from the constitutional Con gress." Hostilities recommenced on the 18th of September, on the plains of Reivaez, when the Chartist army laid down theirarms, and accepted the conditions dictated by the Viscount Das Antas. Costa Cabral thus crushed the Chartist revolution, and on arriving at Lisbon he became the idol of the patriots, who placed implicit confidence in his promises. In the Chamber he became a violent democrat, declaring that the September revo lution was in danger of being betrayed, and at length became the popular speaker of the day. Without the walls of the Chamber he let loose his thunder upon the moderate party, and went about the cafes, exciting every one to revolt, until at length the Ministry had the weakness to appoint him to the post of Civil Administrator of Lisbon. General Bomfim, who was the Minister of War, had pre sented to the Queen a list containing the names of officers who deserved promotion for their good conduct displayed on several occasions against the Chartists. To this her Majesty refused her sanction. The battalion at the Arsenal became incensed at this refusal, and assumed a hostile character, but being obliged to desist from their pretensions, they were disbanded for this breach of discipline. _ _ _ . _ _ On the 13th of March a portion of the National Guard fol. lowed in the wake of the battalion at the Arsenal, and a skir mish took place in the streets of Lisbon, between the troops of the line and the National Guards. Several were killed, and a great many wounded on both sides, but order was at length, with some difficulty, re-established: Another emeute took place in the month of June, and the 7th, Bth, 14th, 15th, and 17th battalions of the National Guards were accordingly disbanded. All theie revolts had been prerii ously organized in the masonic clubs by Costa Cabral. He was the author of all these disorders, es well as of those of Mach 13, as his object was first to compromise the National Guards, and then to get them out of his way effectually, by causing them to be disbanded. The Extraordinary Cortes opened in December, and Costa Cabral took his place as a Member, having resigned his post of General Administrator at Lisbon. His position in the Chamber was excessively equivocal, as he found himself obliged to fight single handed against the attacks of all parties. Things went on this way until Nov,mber, 1839. The Saborosa Ministry being completely undermined by in. trigues, was compelled to give way, and the Fonseca Alagalhaes Ministry immediately replaced it. Costa Cabral obtained the portfolio of Minister of Justice. .His first act was to rid him self of his old colleague the Count'de l3omfim, who was then Minister of War. He substituted in his place the Count de Villa Real, as he found himself continually thwarted in all his projects by the presence of honest and honourable men. He next enlisted in his service all the officers who had been dis missed by the Convention of September 18, 1837. With this band of malcontents he inundated the country, filling it with mischievous secret societies, by which means the army was corrupted, and a train laid for the events of January last • and on the 21st of that month, without having ever resigned his post in the town of Oporto, supported by his bayonets, he pro claimed the Charter of 1826. For some time previous to these events, Costa Cabral had been the mainspring, the life and soul, of the Ministry. He was all and every thing; but his ambition was not yet gratified. There was a power still above him upon the throne—he as pired to be Dictator. To obtain this post he knew he must play most foully—he must stir up the raging billows of revolu tion over his country. But he was not a man to stick at trifles. The Minister of the Crown, who had sworn to serve faithfully and to protect his Sovereign, abandoned her—put weapons into the hands of her own soldiers to fight against her. She resisted ; but in order to save the effusion of blood, she deter tnined to make a noble sacrifice, and allow herself to be crushed by the traitorous rebel. Even at the'last moment the daugh ter of Don Pedro addressed these words to the traitor Minis ter :—" Were my august father still alive, he would have re fused to listen to traitorous propositions, supported by corrupted and misguided troops He would have displayed the same firmness which he Manifested under similar circumstances at a memorable period of his life. I will never yield to the abusivs exigencies of any party, and I cannot tint consider as such pretensions which are founded in fraud and dis order, and supported by violence. I can never recognise as true friends to their Sovereign those who attempt to dic • tate to her; and I am therefore determined to resist your pretensions to support the dignity of my Crown, and to re fuse my adhesion to aught that may compromise the esta blished order of things." The voice of the Sovereign was however, unheeded amidst the din of rebellion, and the traitors triumphed. It is in vain that Costa Cabral attempts to justify himself—none of his protestations can be listened to ; his pro mises are sneered at, and, traitor to all parties, he is detested, mistrusted, and despised by all shades of political parties. Even the Janissaries, who have raised him to his present bad eminence, will find themselves kicked off, laid aside, and be. trayed, as soon as he has no longer any occasion for their venal services. Who would have thought, in 1833, that the noble blood which was then shed under the walls of Oporto, would have prepared the way for another revolution? We fear not far the people—a people cannot be easily wiped away from the face of the earth—but we cannot repress our fears for the safety of the Throne, for the daughter of the Duke of Bra , anza, who is now compelled in her palace to receive the peremptory crders of a plebian dictator, who, on the plains of feira, wantonly shed the blood of the noble defenders of the 18 0 6 charter, the self-same identical charter which he has lately dared to bind himself with the solemnity of, an oath. The page of history may be turned over in vain to find so flagrant an instance of atrocity. Surrounded by his mercenary troops, Costa Cabral compels the Queen of Portugal to swear to a code, the pages of which have all been dictated by him. A re-action here is inevitable--it must sooner or l a tter take place, as all that is brave, noble, and l o y a l i n th e land detest and despise the traitor, who has in his turn con scientiously betrayed every party who had confided in his pro mises, and lent him their support. The greatest insult you car , h ea p upon a man in Lisbon at present is to accuse him of being a friend of Costa Cabral's. His only present supporters are his mercenary soldiers, and their support is ever open to the highest bidder. They have lately proclaimed liberty and absolution, and to-morrow they would declare for the Grand Turk, if they were well paid for their trouble. lie bas just purchased. the services of the Baron de Santa Maria, by the grapd cordon of the order of Christ., but we hear that this brave soldier is stil standing out for something more, in the hope that he may exact better terms. , The Memorial of I'au states that rumours still prevail on the Spanish frontier of an invasion of Spain by the refugees, sup ported by a French army ; and that emissaries from the Go vernment of Madrid have been sent to the frontier, and even to Bayonne, Ustarits, and St. Jean de Luz, to watch these sup posed movements. - The Constitutionnei quotes a letter from Macao, dated 10th October, and written by a French Officer, which describes the resistance of the Chinese as much more courageous and obsti nate than it is stated to have been by the English journals, and the fatigues and privations of the English troops as almost be yond belief. There were, says the letter, several English ves sels at Macao unable to complete their cargoes ; but the Ame ricans had contrived to smuggle on board a large quantity of tea, and were generally turning to their own profit the dispute between the Chinese and the English. Very few French trading-vessels were on the coast of China, which the writer regrets, as he says that they might have profited by the war be. tween China and England, as well as the Americans. Two French ships of war were expected to arrive at Macao toward s the middle of November. A letter from France, dated Ist inst., in the Augsburg Ga zette, says :—A san4ninary scene has lately been enacted on the frontier of Montenegro, in the direction of the ilerzegodine. A troop of Turks made a sudden inroad upon the territory o; Gralsow, which is considered as neutral, and is inhabited b' Christians. They decapitated seven shepherds, and carried o; forty other inhabitants, with numerous head of cattle. Re prisals are expected to be - made by the Munteneris. Prince Vasevich, the English Vice-Consul at Modi Baz g ar, n is not only confined there, but, in consequence of orders from Constanti nople, is treated with increased severity. Prinve Mavrocordato, says a letter from Athens, embarked on the 23d ult. for Constantinople, to assume his functions as Ambassador to the Porte. The Gazette de France has a letter to the Editor, signed by Professors Recamier and Cruveilher, and inclosing a corn inunication made to them by Dr. Delaunay, on his return from a tour in Germany, where he had the honour of visiting the Duke of Bordeaux. Dr. Del iunay states thht the Prince de sired him to convince himse:f, as a medical man, of the real state of the fractured thigh, and to communicate the result of his examination to the above mentioned professors. He ac cordingly proceeded to comply with the Prince's desire, and says, that " net only is the consolidation perfect, but that (a very suprising thing in fractures of this kind) this consolida tion has been effected without the slightest shortening of the limb, and without the foot being in the least turned outwards. " On the 21st of February, when this examination toolr place, the Prince was able to walk, leaning slightly on the arm of an other person, and scmetimes without any support ; and the only remaining effect of the accident was a little weakness and stiffness in the joint, the inevitable consequence of the long state of rest, which was necessary, and which will soon be re moved by exercise and the use of mineral waters. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS ! FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF WEDNESDAY. GLOBE.—The anhounced intention of Opposition to oppose the income tax at every stage is abused, as an unhearchof piece of factious obstruction, by every goose (itti ll and as ,-jaw in the service of Ministers. The propriety or impropriety of the most determined opposition to this impost must depend (in public opinicn)'on the view taken of its real nature. We do not hesitate to say that we regard it as a measure of confiscation of the property of some classes, for the supposed ease and advantage of others. Now if the measure is of this nature, it is one against which the classes aggrieved by it have the clearest-right to be heard by petition, or counsel at the bar of the House, before that HouSe commits itself to a single step in the course of iniquity. " Obstruction" to the recognition by Par liauient of a wrong principle, till those who will be wronged by acting on that principle can make themselves heard, is simply obstruction to taking classes by surprise in order to pick their pockets. And what are those classes ? Precisely those which landed legislation already impoverishes. Precisely those which the long-predicted effects of- monopoly, aided by the seasons, already disable from aiding so effectively as they have hitherto done to keep up our commercial and consumptive powers under our burdens. The revenue fails, because the fiscal system is already disadvantageous to commerce ; and the remedy proposed is not to remove the principal disadvantages, but to leave them (with:one exception, timber) almost as heavy as ever—to make a splutter with minutiae, which will have no effect worth calculating, but that of throwing many of our labourers out of work—and to add to every existing disadvantage the monster grievance of an unequal and inquisitorial impost on commercial capital, struggling for • existence. If this is not a measure to be " obstructed" from its first stage to its last—if this is not a measure against a hick time should be gained for those classes by whom its immediate injury will be felt, to petition for justice— then we admit that the course of Opposition deserves all the names bestowed on it. But what name shall we give to the conduct of Government in pushing such a measure without the slightest attempt to amend, or defend its obnoxious features ? We are told that Opposition should wait for its details, before denouncing it. We sty that the Minister should have stated details (if he had such to state), capable of reconciling the public mind to a tax known and abhorred. STANDAlZl).—Parliamont has been sitting about seven weeks—or about one-fourth of an average session —and what has been done? The period is, perhaps, one which allows of an easy and slow progress of affairs. We are involved in a war with more than three hundred millions of peopL—an insignificant war with only three hundred millions ! We arc involved in a war in central Asia, in which an army has been cut off in the defence of the gate of our vast Indian empire— that gate by :which every conqueror since Alexan ders's time has advanced to his conquest. Another insignificant war, in the authoritave opinion of Mr. Benjamin Hawes. The state of our relations with the continent, of Europe and with the North Ame rican republic is, to say the least of it, anxious ; and at home the people are suffering so severely, that seven months ago it was made a subject of bitter complaint, that a single hour should be lost in taking measures for their relief ; add to this, we have a deficient revenue, with a deficit constantly augmenting. Such was our condition at the meeting of Parlia ment, and such is our condition at the end of seven weeks of the rarliamentary Session. Ought Parliament to have thus slumbered in such circum stances ? Is there in our history, or in the history of the world, and example of like folly and crime on the part of the legislature of a great and free people ? Here are we, then, at the end of seven weeks, in a crisis of unexampled delicacy, with absolutely nothing done for the public service. Well, but our prospects are better--something will at length be done. The Haweses and the Wards, the Brothertons and the Cobdens have had their speeches, the mass of obstructive rubbish has been cleared away, and the busi ness of the country is now about to be commenced in good earnest. No —now, at the end of seven weeks, we have instead of a promise or a hope that the public service shall at length be prosecuted, an impudent avowal of an organised factious opposition prepared to impede that service. The system of obstruction, factiously and successfully prosecuted hitherto, is now openly de dared. Nothing has been done, and• it is now threat ened nothing shall be done, that factious opposition can prevent or retard ! How long will the country endure this wanton and wicked outrage upon its best interests, this calumny upon representative government, which is almost enough to make thinking men fly from a form of Government that may be so odiously and so mischiev ously abused, even to despotism itself ? What is the use of a Parliament if it is only to exhibit itself thus as the instrument of obstruction to whatever is required for the general safety and the general happiness? FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. STAN DARD.—The Howe of Commons has ad journed to the 4th of next month, leaving the im portant business of the country precisely where it stood on the first day of the session, as far as the House itself is concerned. This is the work of the very same men who were so patriotically impatient for an adjustment of the Corn-laws, and for an arrange ment of our disordered financial affairs, five months ago. Reversing the maxim of the philosopher historian—" Priusquam incipias consulto, et übi consulueris mature facto opus est." They clamoured to begin without inquiry, and now retard, by every honest and dishonest means, the time of seasonable action. The Ministers have, how ever, done their part ; they have calmly and industri ously inquired and deliberated, and now they urge with unexampled energy, and with an ability rarely equalled, the measures which they consider necessary for the safety of the State. They have cast from them selves the responsibity -for what evils may result from delay. A reflecting man will not regard these evils as light, if he fairly looks the emergency in the face. Every revolution of modern times, ex cept the last revolution, in France, which, however, may be treated as but. _the necessary sequel of its predecessor, may be regarded as wholly or in part the result of long accumulating financial difficul ties. Each of these revolutions might have been obviated by taking things in time. This is a consideration which we would press upon all who have anything to feai.,from revolution. Suppose Sir Robert. Peel defeated, or . his measures so long and so vexatiously delayed as to be worth less in regard to the actual emergency; in either case he will retire from office. This he has pro mised ; and without his promise, we must know that, as a man of sense . , and honour, he must retire from office in the case supposed. What is to follow ? The return of the Whig 7 ltadicals to-power. There may be those who amuse themselves with the prospect of another Conservative Cabinet ; but let such reflect, that another Conservative Cabinet. must take office with all the difficulties by which Sir R. Peel is con fronted, and, by their own act, disarmed of those just and efficient financial measures by which, if fairly supported, he will triumph over all difficulties. We are very far from saying that there are not in the Conservative party materials for many good Cabinets, and—although all will readily concede to Sir Robert Peel the first place among the statesmen of our day—for many Cabinets, on the whole as good as the present—but this is not the question. The Con- K‘rvative Cabinet which shall succeed to Sir R. Peers must, in order to carry on the Government with a broken party and impaired resources, be a much better Cabinet—an equally honest and a much more able Cabinet than the present; and this is a Cabinet which any one will find it extremely difficult to construct. We, therefore, surely do not assume too much in assuming that Sir Robert Peel's retirement must be followed immediately, or at a very short inter val, by the return .of the Whig-Radicals to power their return in extreme weakness, it is true ; but, while their ill dispositions re main the weaker, they would be so much the worse. This is what must follow a change in the administration as certainly as such a c h ange mus t follow the defeat of Sir Robert Peel's financial plan. And why is that plan to be defeated '.l3ecause touches the breeches pockets of the rich—a point in. which we blush to be obliged to say it, some Conser-1 vatives seem to be almost as sensitive as their political opponents. . . GLOBE.—By the- proceedings in the house of . Commons last night, it will be seen that Sir Robert Peel will be compelled to wait until after the reel ss for the vote which he hoped to have obta'ned pre viously to the adjournment of the House. This a(- ford time for the country to become awake to the elan mous amount of injustice sought to be inflicted upon it by the monstrous proposition, and to the hatefully inqui -- sitorial nature of the instrumentality by which the pro- . posed tax must necessarily be collected. When to these powerful objections to the project is added the fact, fully supported by irrefragible evidence, that no ne- . cessity existed for so extreme a measure, as the wants of the Exchequer might have been easily and effect ually supplied from other legitimate sources of reve nue, we discover sufficient reason for the impatience of Sir Robert Peel to bring the discussion to a close. The leading Tories maintain a sullen silence. The Premier is evidently afraid of his own colleagues, and undertakes, in his own person, the laborious task of encountering the Opposition. The debate of last night produced some unmistakable indications of the effects which protracted discussion of the measure will produce on his own party within the House of 'COmmons, and which will encourage opposition out of doors. The Herald, one of the organs of the Right Hon. Ba rone t' s G overnment, thus speaks of ominous symptoms of dislike to the measure, the precursors of disaffection and desertion, in the ranks of his sup port( rs "lhere was from behind the treasury benches a very general denunciation of the injustice and odiousness of a tax on income ; and though the Right Hon. Baronet is not threatened by secession from the ranis which enable him to bear down . political and factious oppo,i don, he must by this time clearly sec that much zif the sup ,lort which he receives is from hands and not .from hearts —is given on compulsion and not with free will—is ac corded from consideration of party necessity, and not from mental conviction. Such support, no one knows better than the Premier, is most dangerous to place re liance on." Sir Robert Peel himself has conceded the point, and has thus made out a case against himself, that this obnoxious impost ought to be regarded as a last re source—an expedient held in reserve for some desperate national extremity, 'to be employed only when every other means had failed. It is absurd to pretend that the nation is in any such extremity at the present time. We have had an outbreak in Canada, and a necessity for forcible intervention on the coast of Syria. We have a war with China, and a contest with the bar barous tribes of Affghanistan. But the example of the ransom of Canton shows that the former may well be made to pay its own expenses; and all the charges of the latter, on which Sir Robert Peal laid so much st:ess, h:.ve hitherto been defrayed by the local go vmr:nent of India. DR. REID'S LECTURES ON CHEMISTRY. Dr. Reid, aware of the technicalities which, in chemistry more than any other science, perplex in lint,ne, announced at his third lecture at Exeter Hall, that he should fix a time and place in the fol lowing week, where and when those students who we:e willing, might hear explained from him in private the initiatory cabbala of the science, so as to comprehend without lack of lucidity, the superstructural portion of his lectures. Some general observations relative to various good study-books and manuals proper for the young chemist, preceded the learned lecturer's continuation of his remarks upon gases. His former exemplification of their pressure upon substances, and the delicate adjustment of their particles, was followed up by remarks upon the mo • tions of those invisible atoms, and an experi ment, in which a tier of candles, placed within a glass receiver, had their lights consecutively extinguished, demonstrated the circular motion going on among the - particles of gas, when put into movement by a disturbing cause; a similar effect to which, he ob-. served, was proceeding in the atmosphere around us, in which ten thousand different currents of air were perpetually in rotation. Another quality of gaseous substances was their power of diffusion, or of gene , trating each other, and so amalgamating ; but in the same manner that gases possessed this diffusive property, solids and fluids, on the other hand, condensed gases, which was exemplified by the illustration o f a b a ll o f platinum, capable of .condensing two hundred times its own power of oxygen. Prom this cause arose cases of spontaneous combustion, in which porous bodies, condensing in themselves vast quantities of gas, were afterwards acted on by the air, whereby sudden ignition ensued. Dr. Reid next proceeded to the subject of atmospheric air ; he explained, for the sake of simplicity and clearness its component parts, and then presented to view four simple and compounded gases, two of which were the primitive oxygen and hydrogen, and the third the " int ox i ca ti ng gas," dis covered by Sir Humphrey .Davy, containing one part of oxygen and one of nitrogen.- This gas, on being placed in a glass receiver, and brought into contact with atmospheric air, assumed the appearance of a ruddy compound, completely colouring the sides of the glass. Dr. Reid explained the nature of .its action upon the human frame to be that of producing excqs sive muscular strength in some, while on others jt acted with a stunning shock, causing thcm. ently to drop dead. A fourth gas was exhibited, which had for its component parts one of oxygen and two of nitrogen. To show the various operations of the air upon inflammable substance, the duration of different flames in the same atmosphere furnished a curious test. In a box containing twenty cubic feet of air, a common candle, after 'Arming two minutes, was completely quenched ; oil in three minutes ; gas, from five to nine • while the lectur e r hi mse lf was forced to quit it after an expiration of seventeen minutes. This circumstance, as connected with the theory of respiration. Dr. Reid promised to enter into at his succeeding lecture. KOOlll KALI, ONE OF THE CASTLES ON THE ASIATIC SIDE OF THE HELLESPONT. We had some difficulty in prevailing on the old chief to let us see the interior of the castle; he, however, at last acceded to our importunities, and deputed the com mandant of artillery, our drunken friend of the preceding evening, to conduct us thither. The garrison consists of about a hundred men, having little to boast of in point of military appearance— being mere boys, small in size, of a slouching gait, and apparently extremely ill at ease in the Frankish dress and accoutrements: the former con sists of the fez, drawn in a most unsoldierlike fashion over the ears, a dark blue shell jacket with red facings, white linen trowscrs, and half boots ; their arms and appointments are in a wretched state, and the sentry at the portcullis was carelessly lounging up and down with a rusty firelock, which could not even boast of either flint or bayonet. The fort of Boom Kali is an oblong, walled in to about two hundred and ninety yards in length, by one hundred and ninety yards in breadth. It con tains a dense mass of closely-wedged wooden buildings, separated by streets, whose breadth does. not exceed four or five feet, a couple of mosques, and the barracks imme diately in rear of the principal battery facing the Darda nelles, and raised about four feet above the level of the water. This is mounted with eighteen large brass guns, about twenty 'feet in length, and carrying enormous stone shot. They were embedded in the masonry of the building, but preparations were even then making to put them into a more efficient state, a vessel !laving ar rived from Constantinople with a cargo of timber car riages, on which they were being mounted. Besides the principal battery, a flank face with four guns com mands the entrance of the Straits, and wall-pieces are placed on the projecting turrets towards the land side. "By the time we had inspected the interior of the fort, as the day was advancing, we took a friendly leave- of its worthy commandant, and, with the promise of paving him shortly another visit, mounted our steeds and took our departure, highly pleased with the first specimen we had of Turkish manners.—Northern E xcursions. THE ARMY IN IRELAND. The following Regiments intended for early embarkation for India are to be completed to their new establishment respec tively, as at foot. The► volunteers are to receive a bounty of thirty shillings on j ining their new corps, which is to pay for alterations in their equipments., One married man will be allowed to volunteer for every twelve. The age restricted to thirty-two. 10th Regiment.—From the 58th Regiment, 60 volunteers. 25th Regiment.—From the Ist Depot (Ist Bat.), 50 volun teers; 35th, 50; 46th, 50 ; 70th, 50; sth, 50. 29th Regiment.—From the 14th Depot, 50 volunteers; 43d, 50 ; 56th, 30 ; 76th, 50 ; 89th, 50. 84th Regiment.—From the 64th Depot, 50 volunteers 67th, 50 ; 69th, 50 ; 74th, 50. 86th Regiment.—From the lst Depot (2/21 Bat), 40 volun teers ; Bth, 50 ; 27111 Depot., 50 ; 3.3 d, 20 ; 36th, 50. The 29th Regiment, now recruiting in Belfast, had to hire. on St. Patrick's Day, a party of showmen to " beat up" for recruas, as there is no supply of Arnais and fifes allowed. The clown and his motley crest marctied in front of the military t• the tune of St. Patrick's Day. The late Dr. Wilson, senior Fellow of Trinity Col lege, Dublin, though a very grave man himself, was very fond of quizzing and puzzling the country people who came to inquire after their friends or rriations in the college. One clay seeing a man standing in the court with a letter in his hand, gaping and staring about, and not knowing where to go, he walked gravely up to him, and inquired what he wanted ? The moan an.,wered, " Sir, can you tell me where I may find Mr. l)clahunte ? "Yes," said the Doctor, " do you see that building be fore you ? "Yes." "Then crucify_this quadrangle and take the diameter of the plot beyond it ; enter the open ing before you, and ascend the tigrcousgrades; then turn to your left, and you will find him either peripatoonting in his cubicle, dormitating in his lectuary, o r peiresco pounting through his fenestra." The poor man who un derstood nothing of all this, and remernbcred not one word but the last, said, "And pray, Sir, what is the fenestra ?" To which the Doctor rep lied "It is an orifice in an edifice to admit luminous partieleS."
