BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUMELS, OCT. 26.—The Courrier Beige says—" The Independent contradicts what we have stated respecting the approaching recall of Sir Robert Adair to London. We can again affirm that Sir Robert Adair will cease his diplomatic functions in the course of this winter, to obtain his definitive retreat. We can likewise affirm that the pro posal to succeed him has been made to Sir Stratford Can ning- in the form that we mentioned ; only the latter has not yet accepted, and this is the point which we have not affirmed." To this the Independent replies :—" We must observe to the Courrier Beige, that what it affirms now is not the same thing that it affirmed the other day. Its article began with these words :—‘ Sir Robert Adair will be immediately recalled to London, and Sir Stratford Canning has already received the offer to succeed him.' This is what we de nied, and still deny. It may be that Sir R. Adair will cease his functions in the course of this winter, as any other diplomatic character may do ; but that it is already in contemplation is what we persist in denying, without, how ever, attaching any great importance to the fact in itself." The Minister for Foreign Affairs has returned to Brussels. Since yesterday, sentinels have been posted at the doors of the hotels of the Ministers of Justice, Finance, Foreign Affairs, and the Interior. This is the first time since the Revolution that sentinels have been placed at the doers of the Ministers. " We think," says the Courrier Beige, " that the twelve soldiers required to keep sentinel, night and day, at those doors, might be better employed." A letter from Nieuport of the 24th sa3s, " A dreadful storm still prevails on our coasts. This morning, at nine o'clock, the English brig Durham, Captain Thomas Clerk, from London for Stockholm, in ballast, saved itself in our port by a most skilful manceuvre." The Journal d'Anvers of the 25th says, " For these two days past the south-west winds have blown with such extraordinary violence, that we fear we shall hear of great disasters. The Pigeon, a Belgian ship from Malaga, having put into the harbour of Flushing on the 23d, in the afternoon, was immediately driven out by the gale with the loss of anchors and cables, and would certainly have been lost, but for the intrepidity of the Captain (Hin ters) and of the Flushing pilot, who got on board notwith standing the storm. Captain Hinters saw an American three-masted vessel at the mouth of the river at the en trance of the Huissche Gat ; the crew had been saved by a pilot. The ship was loaded with coals, bound from Shields to Philadelphia. A letter from Ghent of the 25th says that on the afternoon of the 24th lightning had struck the steeple of St. Martin's church in that city, to which it did considerable damage, but did not set it on fire.— Brussels, Papers, Oct. 27. FRANKFORT PAPERS. BASLE, OCT. 18.—M. Von Olfers, the Prussian Chara 2 d'Affaires, has lately returned from Germany to Switzer land. He brings communications from his Court, similar to those of M. Bombelles and M. Hertling. M. Von Dusch, the Minister of Baden, is likewise expected in a few days. Many French Carlists, who have resided in Switzerland ever since the revolution of July, resolved not to return to France till the elder branch of the Bourbons should be re placed on the throne, have now changed their minds, and are returning to their own country. They are now con vinced, that they must expect from time, how far their wishes can be fulfilled, and they think they can do this at home, as well as in a foreign country. Most of the Carlists do Louis Phillippe the justice to confess that he knows how to manage the French, and that he has given proofs of great ability, for which they would have highly esteem ed him, if he had contented himself with the post of Lieutenant-General of the kingdom, and not have seized the Crown of Henry V. Many of them even flatter themselves that Louis Philippe is labouring to destroy Jacobinism in France ; and that when he has succeeded in this, he will renounce the Crown in favour of Henry V. It is remarkable that this notion is entertained by many other wise judicious men, and that they cannot be persuaded to the contrary, notwithstanding the well known sentiments of the King of the French. 'rime will show whether there is any ground for such an opinion, which, were it not enter tained by sensible men, must be considered as absurd.— Frankfort Papers, Oct. 22. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, OCT. 27.—The Ministerial evening journal says —" The blockade of Elisondo has been renewed by the ar rival of a column of the Queen's troops. The fortifications of Plentia are continued ; Don Carlos has attempted in vain to stop the works ; he has retreated from before Bil boa. On the 20th he was at Ceanari." According to a Bayonne letter of the 21st, travellers from Spain arriving in that town state, that on the 14th Don Carlos was within three leagues of Bilboa, at the bead of 4,500 men ; that he had made an attack upon the small town of Plentia, which was defended by General Espartero, who ordered a sortie, in which both parties sustained a slight loss, but which in the end induced the pretender to retire. The Indkateur of Bordeaux of the 23d instant has the following of the 21st from St. Jean de Luz :—" A Spaniard from Vittoria informs us, that on his departure from that city, 15,000 of the Queen's troops had arrived there, under the commond of General Valdes, and that these troops were to march the next day to reinforce the army of opera tion in Navarre and Biscay." The brigade of El Pastor, with a reinforcement of 3,000 men, is gone to Navarre, where the pretender remains. The village of Abbarzuza, near Estella, has been burnt down. This commune was occupied by a battalion of 1,200 men of General Oraa's division. The morning the batta lion went out to exercise, at the first halt, and while the guns were in piles, 3,000 insurgents came down precipi tately from the mountains and surprised the Queen's troops. An engagement at the point of the bayonet immediately ensued. They fought for about an hour with equal fury on both sides, and about 1,500 men were left on the field. The Queen's troops had at last the advantage, and the Carlists retreated in disorder. Immediately afterwards the Christinos set fire to the village, and caused the two remain ing houses to be destroyed. The Knights Templars held an encampment last week at their usual place of meeting in the Cour Damietta, to celebrate a funeral service in honour of Don Pedro, who was an honorary member of the order. The oration was pronounced by the Grand Prior, M. Campeaux. Admiral Sir Sidney Smith and several of the di plomatic body were amongst the assembly, which was very numerous. Sir Sidney laid upon a ceno taph raised in memory of the illustrious deceased, the insignia of the Tower and Sword, with which the Gallant Admiral had. been invested by the father of Don Pedro. A letter of the 21st, from Toulon, says—A telegraphic dispatch received here, directs a light vessel to be got ready to sail for Alexandria at a moment's notice. The schooner-rigged brig, La Fkehe, having been chosen, will sail to-morrow, to carry dispatches to the Consul-Ge neral, receive those he has to send back, and return imme diately to France. It is observed that the four vessels, Le Voltigeur, L'Eclipse, L' Artemise, and to day Le Fkche have been sent off at very short intervals to Egypt, cir cumstances requiring such repeated communications with that country. M. de Lalewell and Admiral Roussin also frequently send ships from the Levant squadron to Alexan dria, bearing instructions. A letter of the 18th inst. from Saragossa says,—" The rebels under the command of Zumalacarreguy, who passed the Ebro at the ford of Troneo Negro, between Logrono and Haro, appeared before the last named town, and sum moned it to surrender ; but the inhabitants showing a deter mined resolution to defend it, the enemy learning at the same time that the Queen's troops were in pursuit of him, and that two detachments had entered Logronn, repassed the Ebro by the bridge at Brines, and entered Alabo." Barcelona journals received to the 17th inst. state that the numerous bands of Carnier, pursued by the divisions of Aragon and Valencia, are so closely watched by the troops of Catalonia, that this bandit dare not enter that princi pality. Catalonia is perfectly quiet, although the Carlists continue to make useless efforts to revolutionise the pro vince. The bands being destroyed or dispersed, the chiefs are driven to keep themselves concealed in the woods. The Echo du Commerce We learn from Almeria that on the 12th i ns t. a s t eam -b oa t, b ea ring th e English flag, arrived and cast anchor at a short distance from Cape de Gata. She refused to make any declara tion, either as to her cargo, where she came from, or her destination, and the Custom-house guard fired upon her, but without producing any effect. She remained at anchor all night, and in the morning took her departure in the di rection of the Levant. The account being sent to the Governor, three vessels were despatched after her, but they were too late to overtake her. According to the state ments of some fishermen she was heavily laden. None of her crew went ashore, but some of them bought two fish for ten francs." The Augsburg Gazette of the 23d inst. has the following from Vienna of the 17th :—A Court mourning for seven weeks has been ordered on account of the death of Don Pedro. It is said that Charles X. is about to leav e Prague and take up his residence at Gratz, but it is not yet determined whether the Duchess of Berry will or will not join the King. Count Munch Bellinghausen has had his audience of the Emperor previous to his departure for Frankfort. Prince Metternich has taken under his protec tion the Society established in Trieste under the title of Austrian Lloyd's.' 4 ; YjE DMA, O cT. lB.—Five per Cent Metalliques, 99} ; Four pei- CerifAlitto, 90i ; Bank Shares, 1,259. Extract of a letter from Spire dated the 22d inst.,— " Within these few days the agent of a Paris insurance company has been ordered to remove his tri-coloured sign, the authorities not choosing to have this revolutionary em blem exposed. A coachman has been summoned before the magistrates for cracking his whip to a patriotic tune. In short, no idea can be formed of the sensitiveness of the po lice. The numerous fires that have devastated our pro vinces, and the other circles of the kingdom, and which have been attributed to personal vengeance, appear now to have been caused by the associations of the Obscurantists, who leave no means untried to alarm the Government and the people. We are now also informed that the sup pression of the Manheim Gazette was caused by its having given too early intelligence of the new measures intended to be taken by the absolute governments." Extract of a letter of the 23d inst. from Avranches : " The prison of Mount St. Michael has just been destroyed by fire. Last night between nine and ten o'clock, the fire broke out in the room where straw hats are made, and the wind being high, the flames spread with alarming rapidity. Nothing could exceed the awfulness of the scene, to which was added the noise occasioned by the fall of the walls and arched ceilings. " It is believed to have been altogether accidental, and to have been caused by sparks from the flue of the stove in the guard-house having been carried to the straw by the wind. The prisoners, who were thus set at complete li berty, displayed great activity and intrepidity in endeavour ing to extinguish the flames. They are placed under the charge of the National Guard, till orders are received whither they are to be transferred. " A turnkey is the only person who perished, and he had escaped danger, but afterwards fell from a wall and broke his neck."-- 2 Galignad es Messenger. PARIS, OCT. 27.—The trial of M. Wattebaut, accused of having attempted in a duel, without seconds, to murder his opponent, M. Lethuillier, was concluded last night. At midnight the jury brought in a verdict of Guilty, with cir cumstances of mitigation. The Court then retired, and in twelve minutes returned to pass sentence. Wattebaut was sentenced to ten years imprisonment. General Guilleminot is still spoken off as the successor of Marshal Gerard, as Minister of War, if he still persists in retiring. As for the post of President of the Council, it would belong to M. de Rigny, who is the Senior Member of the Cabinet ; but it is said that the Doctrinaires favour M. de Broglie.—Commerce. The Courrier Francais also points out M. de Rigny for the post of President, but it says that Count Lebau is spoken of for the War Department. Why not General Bugeaud ? The Memorial des Pyrenees brings us the following do cument : DIVISION OF THE WESTERN PYRENEES. ORDER OF THE DAY. The Lieutenant-General has positive information that an important Envoy of the Carlist Committee at Paris, the Baron de Bergen, has succeeded in evading the vigilance of the posts on the frontier in getting into Spain by way of Sare. The Lieutenant-General is extremely desirous to hinder the mission of this individual from being completed by his return, and recommends the greatest vigilance on the whole line, to surprize him if he enters France again. In case of his being arrested, he is to be brought to Bayonne, to the Lieutenant-General. _ A copy of the present order shall be sent to all the Com missaries of Police in the frontier, and to all the Com manders of Cantonments. Done at the Head-quarters at Lacarre, Oct. 21, 1834 Count HARISPE. " We know positively," says the Memorial, " that the individual pointed out in this Order of the Day is the same that the Journals erroneously affirmed to be Don Mikuel.— Messager, Oct. 21. PARIS, OCT. 26. M. Dupin is a singular man, a very singular man. He is in politics what a young girl is in life—candid, warm, sincere and pure, but at the same time most in sufferably capricious, susceptible, changeable end timid. The comparison fails no doubt in some points : what comparison does not ? for M. Dupin has none of the feminine graces, being a rude, powerful man in his bearing and his oratory. But beneath the severe and rather forbidding mask of the ancient classic drama lurks, nevertheless, a feminineness of nature, that is deplorable to those who would admire and follow him. And such a dreadful want is there in France of high legal and constitutional character—such contrasts does the Bench there and the Cabinet present to the De L'Hopitals and Daguesseaus, that one is anxious and inclined to seize on M. Dupin, and clothe him in the high attributes of those men, or of Lord Somers. But, alas I those men had opinions, and held to them ; but M. Dupin, girl-like, has headlong feelings rather than consistency and tenacity of principle. For the last month he has allowed the press, that of his party, to venture forth on behalf of the amnesty, and give battle upon that ground. He thrust forward Marshal Gerard to the first place in the Council, and either approved or prompted his taking the same ground ; nay, his completely - making it his standard, and announcing. that he would rise or fall with it. The only difference was, that M. Dupin preferred to have the credit of such an act even by himself and the Chamber, than by the Ministry. Such opinions of the amnesty and of him did M. Dupin allow his followers to entertain. Now, however, a respectable journal having asserted that M. Dupin went to the King and declared against the amnesty, the especial organs of M. Dupin were obliged to evade rather than answer the question. No doubt, M. Dupin is a man of a legal conscience, one upon which the anomaly of an amnesty before trial must jar. But why not have declared this at once— why have coquetted girl-like, with the question, in order to draw all admirers after him, and then jilt them at the last moment with a capriciousness unpardonable in a girl, much less in a statesman ? If, too, this declaration, total or partial, against the amnesty and against the friends whom he misled, have taken place at the very moment, and not till the very moment, when the amnesty question was finally thrown overboard in the Council, what must we conclude were the motives ? But this is not the first nor the second time in which M. Dupin has summoned all his friends and forces, drawn up his line, sounded his trumpet for action, and then scampered off himself, leaving his friends to shift for themselves, and back out of a bad position as best they might.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1834. RIGOUR OF MAHOMMEDANISM. About twelve years since a person who had violated the law, proceeded to the palace, and, in the presence of the King stated his crime, and demanded justice ac cording to the Koran. The singularity of an indivi dual appearing as his own accuser, induced the King to direct him to be driven away. The man appeared the following day with the same tale, and was again turned out. He repaired a third time to the palace, repeated his sins, and upbraided the King for his remiss ness in declining to dispense justice, which, as a be liever of Mahommed he intreated it might lead to his punishment in this world instead of the next. The Ulema, or congress of divines, was assembled ; death was the punishment ; and the man himself, who was a Moollah, was prepared for this decision. He was con demned to be stoned till dead. He turned his face to Mecca, and, drawing his garment over his head, re peated the kuluma, (" There is but one God, and Mahommed is his prophet !") and met his fate. The King was present, and threw the first stone ; but he had instructed his officers to permit the deluded man to escape, if he made the attempt. When dead, the King wept over his come, ordered it to be washed and buried, and proceeded in person to the grave over which he read the funeral service. It is said he was much affected ; and to this day verses commemorate the death of this unfortunate man, whom we must either pronounce a bigot or a madman. An incident similar to the above happened within this very year. A son who had cursed his mother appeared as a sup pliant for justice, and his own accuser. The mother solicited his pardon and forgiveness ; the son demanded punishment ; the Ulema directed his death, and he was executed as a criminal in the streets of Bokhara. A merchant lately imported some pictures from China, which were immediately broken, and their value paid by the Government ; since it is contrary to the Ma hommedan laws to make the likeness of any thing in the earth beneath. On some subjects their notions of justice arc singular. An Afghan plundered a caravan sari, and was sentenced to die, but permitted to pur chase his blood according to the law if he exiled him self from Bokhara, because he was a foreigner. Be fore the arrangement had been completed a second rob bery occurred by a party of the same nation ; the clergy directed their death ; and since they thought that the punishment of the first offender, together with the others, would present a more salutary and impres sive example, they returned the blood money, cancelled the pardon, and executed all the offenders.—Burn's Travels into Bokhara. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1834. There are few subjects which require to be handled with greater delicacy than the personal differences which unfortunately too often arise between public men, equally honest in their intentions, and equally desirous of promoting the prosperity of their country. The difficulties which the umpires in such cases have to contend with are rather increased than otherwise, when the parties disagreeing have only imaginary grievances to cc:nplain of ; for strange as it may seem at first sight, the less cause there is for the indulgence of unfriendly feelings, the more are we disposed to cherish them. As it is with the diseased body, so is it with the distempered mind : and as physicians all agree that no complaints give them such trouble in the eradication as those which most strongly exist in the fancies of the patients, so in like manner, no diffe rences between individuals are so hard to be reconciled as those which, in point of fact, are either wholly ima ginary, or originate in some breach of etiquette. By the country generally, matters of this kind, so unworthy of statesmen and philosophers, would be regarded as occurrences below public notice, were it not that the best measures are frequently retarded by them, which affords a temporary, and sometimes dangerous, triumph to the common enemy. We, in common with the majority of the liberal press and people of the United Kingdom, sincerely lament that Lords BROUGHAM and DURHAM should have so comported themselves of late, as to afford room for rejoicing to the Tories here, and the organs of the Holy Alliance on the Continent. We regret this untoward event the more, because we are convinced that the difference be tween these Noble Lords, if properly understood, would be found to consist in a misunderstanding of each other, which each would endeavour to be the first to rectify. The breach between them happens most unluckily at the present moment, as the country never stood in greater need of the cordial co-operation of both in endeavouring to amend our laws, and reform our institutions. It is a pity that both cannot see the undignified position in which they stand, by a perti nacious adherence to expressions dropped in speeches delivered in the heat and excitement which always must prevail at public dinners, at which the orators are the greatest strangers. Lord BROUGHAM might say as much as he pleased about the caution which ought to be observed in the correction of abuses—he might declaim as frequently as an opportunity would be allowed him against any undue precipitancy on the part of the House of Commons—but it would not be fair to argue from such declarations of the necessity of mature deliberation, that his Lordship was not most soli citous to uproot every abuse which at present disgraces the constitution of this country. Let any one who pre tends to feel alarmed by the cautious tone assumed by the CHANCELLOR, look to the notices of reforms which he has given for the ensuing session of Parlia ment—mark the number of Bills which he prepared since his acceptance of the Seals—and see the un sparing hand which he has outstretched against the mal-practices of his own Court—which, if they could derive sanctity from age, might rank with Divinities ; and having carefully noted all this, let him then say whether Lord BROUGHAM deserves to be suspected of falling to the leeward, when he talks of the necessity of steering cautiously, sounding frequently, and guarding against rocks and sand banks ? On what occasion did Lord BROUGHAM'S caution lead him to desert the cause of the people ? What Bill, having for its object the extension of popu • lar liberties, has not had from him the most strenuous advocacy and support ? We answer none—no, not even the so much talked of 'Warwick Disfranchisement Bill, which he approved of so long as he was not con vinced that it was based on defective evidence. It is, therefore, an act of injustice towards the CHANCEL LOR to maintain, that he is not most anxious to im prove whatever is defective in the institutions of the country. The character of Lord DURHAM is equally high in the estimation of all who have paid proper regard to his past public conduct. His Lordship's conduct, on the whole, has been that of a sound and consistent statesman, who very wisely suffered not his own private opinions on many great questions to impede the progress of national improvement. We cannot, therefore, but deeply regret that the success of many most important measures are allowed to be en endangered by a difference between these distinguished statesmen, so utterly below regard, that we are ashamed to mention it in the same sentence with themselves. They are both to blame in this affair,—Lord DURHAM in commenting upon a casual expression which fell from the CHANCELLOR, and Lord BROUGHAM in thinking it necessary to defend that expression, which he might have given •up without the least blemish on his reputation. We think, too, that Lord DURHAM would have acted in a more dignified manner, had his Lordship not taken that notice of the article in the last number of the Edinburgh Review, which called forth the letter from the Editor that ap peared yesterday in our columns. However, all that now remains is for each party to examine well, whether he can reconcile to himself a standing aloof which must naturally impede the progress of Reform, and perhaps end in the overthrow of every liberal project contemplated by the present cabinet. The Ober-por ta9nts Zeitung, a journal which advocates the princi ples of the Holy Alliance, dwells with peculiar satis faction on the division between Lords BROUGHAM and DURHAM, which the Editor expects will even tually lead to the triumph of Toryism in England. We earnestly counsel both Noble Lords to remove all pretence for such baneful inferences. They are at present engaged in a contest precisely similar to that of the two Knights about the gold and silver shield, of which both repented, when a Dervise showed them that both were right, and both wrong. Let them take more than a one-sided view of the question at issue, and we are confident that their only surprise will be, how they could have so strangely mistaken each other. The inquiries and discussions now going on in France, relative to her tariff, may perhaps serve to make us sensible of our errors with respect to our own. We can see the absurdity of France in maintaining a system of prohibition from which we ourselves, how ever, have only lately departed ; but we still cling to excessive duties upon import, for which we blame her; but which in our case, as in her's, operate mainly as prohibitions upon the import of articles of great bulk with heavy weight, and give rise to the smuggling of articles of little bulk and light weight, operating in either case to the injury of the general industry of the country. As regards our lively neighbours, also, we can perceive and descant most learnedly upon the injus tice as well as impolicy of benefiting one interest at the expense of another, which we ourselves, never theless, continue to practice, and also upon the absur dity of sacrificing industry to income ; but we are un willing to perceive how we continue to sacrifice industry to income ourselves, though we ought long ago to have found out that increase of income depends upon the increase of industry, and that one interest cannot be benefited at the expense of another, without limiting and repressing general indus try, upon the increase of which the well-being of the community depends. We can at once perceive the injury which France does to her agriculture by pre venting the importation of iron, and the heavy burthen she imposes upon the whole community of France, by th e increased and increasing price of fuel, occasioned by the enormous consumption of wood in the smelting of iron, and the further injustice committed upon the consumers of fuel by her prohibition of the importation of coal, in order to benefit still more the proprietors of forests ; but we do not choose to see, at least we do not act as if we did see, that we have brought a similar burthen upon the community of Great Britain, by levying a duty of 271. upon one description of Baltic timber, when we levy only V. 17s. 6d. upon the like description of plantation timber, or 21. 15s. upon another description in the one case, and only 10s. in the other; thus depriving all who have occasion to use timber of the benefit of the best description at a low price, and confining them to the use of the worst sort at a high price, in order to give high profits of freightage to a few British shipowners, and to enable a few Canada merchants to charge a monopoly price. What we ourselves experienced from preventing the exportation of wool, enables us to see more clearly the impolicy of France in preventing the exportation of silk, thereby sacrificing the silk weavers to the silk manufacturers, while her prohibition cannot fail to have the same result in France that attended our prohibition of the exportation of wool ; that is, other countries will improve in the growing of silk as other countries have improved in the growing of wool, and France will then become dependant for a supply of the finest raw material for her favourite manufaCture, as we have become dependant upon foreign countries for a supply of the finest part of the raw material necessary to what was once our staple manufacture. But we still continue our errors with regard to the manufacture of silk. Until lately we prevented, as far as absolute prohibition could prevent, the importation of manufac tured silk at all. The prohibition enabled a few manu facturers in Spitalfields and Coventry to make fortunes a monopoly price for bad arti c l es , b u t th e by charging manufacture languished as a branch of industry. Since the prohibition has been withdrawn, the manufacturers of Macclesfield and Manchester have left those of Spi talfields and Coventry far behind ; and the silk manu facture is extending and improving in every part of the Kingdom ; but it is still suffering from a system of heavy import duties, which h ave b een su b st i tute d f or absolute prohibition. Thirty per cent, which is ra ther less than, the. duty paid upon the import of the finest and-lightest fabric, brings the smuggler into competition with . the British manufacturer, who is thus beat down by the smuggler to a losing profit; for all the vigilance of the Preventive Service, or any other service, to prevent smuggling, where duties are exces sive, will not avail to prevent smuggling. If our ma nufacturers could be prevailed upon to believe that from 51. to 10/. per cent. upon importation would ena ble them to maintain a successful competition with fo reigners, then industry in this and other manufactures would not be injured and repressed, as it now is by a competition with smugglers, or those concerned with smugglers, which no industry can withstand. Our silk manufacturers admit that they are behind their French neighbours in all that relates to taste in pat terns, the change of patterns, and the adapting of machinery to them ; and that they cannot im prove without (or at least do improve with) the use of French patterns, which they can have only by the importation of French fabrics. So the ma nufacturers of earthen ware in France agree that they are altogether behind England in all that relates to designing and colouring ; and that they are careless, from the want of competition, which the in troduction of English earthen ware into France would produce. Still, even those who are not for absolute prohibition, are desirous that very high duties should be imposed. In this way they would no doubt have the competition, but they would have it in a way to injure industry in this manufacture, not to bene fit it by exciting care and skill. On the con trary, care and skill would be deprived of their reward, by being exposed to an unequal competition with smug glers. It is singular that in two manufactures, e 7, quiring taste in design and the assortment of colours, the one suffering in England and the other in France from excessive duties, the manufacturers in both coun tries should have come to the same conclusion as to the benefit to result from a communication of what re lates to the beauty of either manufacture. But our French neighbours have gone beyond us in their im pressions in regard to competition. They admit that competition with the English would stimulate them to improvement in designing and colouring. A whole some conclusion has been thus arrived at upon one point touching the manufacture of earthen-ware in France, and when the inquiry shall be resumed, we trust further wholesome conclusions will be arrived at. The French Papers received this day, talk of the resignation of Marshal GERARD, and a probable change of Ministry, in consequence of the resolution to which the Cabinet has come on the question of a general amnesty. We do not know on what data the rumours afloat on this subject are founded. The news from the North of Spain is of the same undecided cha racter as hitherto. Since we last week noticed the atrocity, as the Athenceum justly calls the facing Norwich Castle, we have made some further inquiry on the subject, and we have considerable satisfaction in finding that Mr. 131.0 RE is at last to be employed "to survey and re port upon the present state of the Castle, and the best mode of proceeding with the repairs, and to report thereon at the next Sessions." Up to the present moment the chief injury that has been done, is the destruction of a very curious old basement story of flint-work, and two large arches of alternate Car and Caen stone (the only specimen in England), which have been swept away—and the wall, which at the base is about twelve feet thick, faced with a plain coating of softish York stone, and two plain rims sub stituted for the arches in question. The only way in which we can account for this change is, that the flint-work was so nearly perfect, that there was no plausible excuse for removing it to substitute similar materials ; and that, consequently, in order to give the mason a better job, and to put the county to greater expense, it was needlessly pulled down, and its place supplied by stone. Now we have a word or two to say to Mr. BLORE, on what he may expect to find on his arrival at Nor wich. He will find a parcel of country Justices ex tremely galled at having been dictated to by the citizens of Norwich, and he will moreover find, that since their expression of disgust at the proceedings led the majority of Magistrates to vote that he be called in, for his opinion to be taken, the workmen at the Castle have been hammering away, to do all the mis chief in their power before his arrival, and this of course under orders, that they may render his journey to Norwich, if possible, of no use, as being too late. But, from what we understand, it is not too late. We trust that he will confine himself to the main question—namely, whether or not it be actually neces sary to pull down the present facing, either for the security of the walls, or for the safety of the public ? He is called in to save, if possible, a noble relic of antiquity from being barbarously and needlessly de stroyed, and several thousand pounds of public money from being shamelessly squandered ; and it will re dound infinitely more to his future fame to have put a stop to the atrocious and ruthless Vandalism which has been begun, than if he were to expend five times the money by restoring it stone for stone. The inte rest of Norwich Castle is, that it is a thing sui genesis. The beauty of Norwich Castle arises from the decay of its peculiar structure. Reface it ever so correctly, its interest is gone. Reface it in the slovenly manner in which it is commenced, and it will have neither interest nor beauty. We are convinced, from the inquiries we have made, that a slight palisading would have saved the entire expense, with the exception, perhaps, of here and there a few stones being supplied, and some other partial repairs, which would have in no way detracted from the interest or beauty of the building. The only plea which is given for the measure is, that now and then a portion of a stone crumbles away, and perhaps, if persons were walking under, might injure them by falling upon them ; but no one ever sees these things—no one has ever been hurt—and, as we have said, supposing there were danger, a few pali sades would have prevented any one going so near as, by any possibility, to receive injury. In short, the whole affair is a scandalous piece of business. We hope it is effectually checked. We can assure Mr. BLOKE, that we look with anxious expectation for his decision ; and we beg to inform the gentlemen of the Gaol Committee, that we shall keep an eye upon them and their proceedings.

EINE, BROTHER S, Contractors, beg to inform the Public, that it would now be too late for ordering Tickets of the Sixty-fourth Great Lottery, and that Orders can be given for the succeeding SIXTY-FIFTH LOTTERY. In former Lot teries they have received several applications for TICKETS OF A NUMBER ANSWERING TO THE NUMBER OF BANK NOTES REMITTED. It is of course impossible to attend to such requests, if the orders are not given BEFORE THE COM MENCEMENT OF SALE. They therefore now beg to inform the Public, that the Tickets of the Sixty-fifth Hamburg Great Lottery will begin selling on the 26th of NEXT MONTH, and all Orders for Tickets OF THE SAME NUMBER AS THE BANK NOTE SENT WITH THE ORDER, must reach them before that day, and Bank Notes, to answer that purpose, must not bear a higher Number than 10,000. Those remitting a Ten-pound Note, will receive an Order for the Balance and a full Share, together with the Ticket. Should the desired Number be already disposed of, the Bank Note will be returned by the First Mail. Orders of this description must be directed without delay to HEINE, BROTHERS, CONTRACTORS, HAMBURG. 4 , - L. \?. , A '""'" Z/Ilv DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK New 5 per Cent — India Stock — 25 pm.

A young soldier was sent home because of such colossal stature, and so stout that he could not march in an infantry regiment, and so heavy that in the cavalry his weight would destroy any how he might be put upon.
