Her Ladyship, who was third daughter of Henry first Earl of Uxbridge, and sister of the Marquis of Anglesey, Dowager Coun tess of Galloway, the Hon. Gentleman Sir Edward Paget, &c. was born 26th March, 1777, and married, first, the sth March, 1801,Lieutenant-General Sir James Erskine, Bart., who died 3d March, 1825, and se condly the Right Hon. General Sir George Murray, G.C.8., Master-General of the Ordnance , b y whom we believe her Ladyship leaves an only daughter. The death of this estimable lady will place a great many families of distinction in mourning—namely, the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, Marquis and Mar chioness of Anglesey, Earl and Countess of Uxbridge, Dowager Lady Templemore, Viscount and Viscountess Sidney, Lord and Lady Crofton, Lady Caroline Capel, Earl and Countess of Sandwich, Earl of Enniskillen, Sir Edward and Lady Paget, Earl and Countess of Gallo way, Right Hon. George and Lady Agnes Byng, Mar chioness of Conyngham, Dowager Countess of Galloway, Lord Graves, &c. We learn that a puncheon of the finest High land aqua rite, containing about 120 gallo ns , was on Monday put into her Majesty's duty-free warehouse, in London -street, from a celebrated Islay distillery, and that it was desp atched on its way to London to be depo sited in the roya l vaults in St. James's Palace, to be used, no doubt, at the festivities consequent on the chris tening of the Baron of Renfrew and Lord of the Isles.

The Reverend FRANCIS DIEDRICH WACK.. ERBARTII, Bachelor of Arts of Queen's Col lege, Cambridge ; Honorary Corresponding Member of the College of Civil Engineers; late Priest of the Anglican Church; now a Priest of the Church of Rome, and destined, in his "own opinion, to figure in the Rubric some two hundred years hence as a canonised saint and confessor, has just published a very extra ordinary pamphlet, under the curiously quaint title of " The Egyptian Bondage ; or, a Second Call to Union ;" dedicated to that mystical con coctor of creeds, ST. ATHANASI us, and addressed to the benighted people of England. Whatever importance might otherwise attach to this pam phlet, neither its subject, nor the reputation of its author (which, by the way, has yet to travel beyond his title-pages), would provoke us to no tice it, but for two reasons, which affect rather the accidents of its publication than the tract itself. The first is, that the Reverend author, a very short time ago, so abused the Editor of the Tablet for a supposed attack on his "brethren" the Puseyites, as to draw down upon himself the rebuke of one of his spiritual superiors in the Romish Church—thus manifesting, by his ill- timed zeal, the identification of his principles with those of the Puseyite sect. The second reason is, that he assures us in his Preface that this tract was prepared by him " while a member of the Established Church, and while it was his full intention to remain within her pale." Mr. WACKERBARTH, while a clergyman of the Church of England was a Puseyite, and agree ably to the principles of Puseyism he composed this pamphlet. Being manifestly, from his style of writing, a man of warm imagination, and more remarkable for zeal than sound judgment, he did not, like the Tractarians of Oxford, make his approaches to Rome by gradually but surely sapping the foundations of the Anglican Church. Naturally a fanatic, he could not drill his mind into the adoption of the zigzag shiftings and turnings of hypocrisy. What Puseyism pri- vately inculcated he thought it a sin not to pro claim and to practice. Hence his pamphlet is important as a real exposition of the principles of the Puseyites, and of those of many clergymen who, with intentions less pure than Mr. IVAcxEn- BARTH, are resolved to "live and d►e within the pale of a Church which compensates for want of faith by superabundance of pelf—which makes up for schism by rich benefices and ec clesiastical sinecures. Hear, then, how an An glican priest, resolved to " live and die" within the pale of the Church could write of the Lu theran Reformation : It is evident to every person who has eyes to see withal, that the Church of England, as at present con stituted, dyes not answer its purposes ; nor is this to be wondered at ; for while, instead of bwailing and la bouring to remove the deplorable schism which rends us from the rest of Christendom, the greater number of us will rejoice therein, and speak thereof as of a thing that is " glorious,"—while we hear on all sides among us such phrases as " our glorious separation from Rome," " our happy deliverance from Papal dominion," and the like,—while so many thousands in our communion proudly boast, like the Pharisee, of their own purity, and revile as antichrist our holy and apostolic mother, blindly thanking God that they are not as other men are, nor even as the mother church of Christendom,—it is indeed with but faint and flickering hope that we can look out for Heaven's blessing on our labours. The withering curse of Erastianism has eaten its way into the very heart of the people, and they have learned to look upon God's Church merely as an engine of the State, and are content with those sad fragments of the Gospel which the tyranny and rapacity of the libidi nous monsters of the sixteenth century have left them —nay, they will even rejoice in having lost the rest ; they will patiently, and even approvingly, look on, while the high dignities of God's Church are made the reward of the vilest political profligacy,—while rich benefices, prebends, deaneries, and, alas! even the thrones of the apostolic order, are lavished upon men without principle and without devotion, as the pay of simonious electioneering service, or the price of support in Par liament,—or, at best, as a provision for a pauper rela tive or hanger-on of some person in political power. " Amazement and horror are come to pass in the land ; the prophets prophesy in deceit, and the princes domi neer by their hands, and my people love to be so." I feel persuaded that there is but one way to put an end to this miserable state of corruption and secular bondage, and that way is to repent speedily, and return to the obedience of faith ;—to replace the Church of England under the dominion of Christ's appointed Universal Vicar, that the weight of his sacred authority may counterbalance the hopeless corruption of the State. I avow, then, once for all, that my object is to repeal the Reformation, which I maintain to be the vilest hoax whereby a nation was ever defrauded of its faith and freedom, or God's poor robbed of their subsistence,- -to recongregate my countrymen within the fold of God's shepherd Catholic—whence, for libidinousness and ra pacity's sake, the brutal tyrant Henry the Eighth de coyed them,—to free them from State-bondage in holy things, and to bring them once more to the enjoyment of that holy peace and Christian liberty which spring from unity of faith and righteousness of life. Such is my avowed object,—to which I desire to consecrate my life, my labour, and all that I have to offer ; albeit, as men's minds and notions are now formed, my prospect is but dark, and well nigh desperate ;—and it is with a heavy heart, and distant misgiving hopes, that I address myself to so great a task. The open avowal of such sentiments as these is not likely to please the cunning Puseyite, albeit written by one of the sincerest of their fraternity. Mr. WACKERBARTII next proceeds to expose and denounce the three " grand locks whereby the chains of the Anglican Church are rivetted." The Rev. Gentleman is certainly no great master of style, but that is his affair, not ours. These " locks" are, firstly, usurped patronage or inves titure, which Mr. WACKERBARTH would take out of the hands of Kings and Kings' concubines, and restore to the Holy See; secondly, the concu binage of the clergy; and, thirdly, impropria tions. It would be an insult to the good taste and Christian feeling of our readers to quote all the ribaldry against the Church of England which Mr. WACKERBARTH has written under these these several heads. The title of the second, " concubinage of the clergy," proves that it was written before he had made himself fully ac quainted with the doctrines of the Romish Church. That Church never charged our clergy with the crime of concubinage, because it has never been brought to admit that Holy Orders exist in the Church of England. This is one of the sorest points touched upon by the Puseyites, and the one which has given most mortification to Church of England divines. Thus, if a Roman Catholic priest enter the communion of the Church of England his ordination previously'is acknowledged valid, and he can at once enter upon the discharge of the priestly functions. But a clergyman of the Church of England on em bracing the faith of Rome, is but a layman, and before he can administer the sacraments he must bere-ordained by a Prelate of the RomishChurch• In the eyes, therefore, of Roman Catholic divines the Anglican priests are mere laymen, and there fore as well entitled to marry as other members of the community. This our clergy look upon as anything but a compliment; and perhaps no thing annoyed them more during the reign of ELIZABETH and JAMES 1., than an allusion by the Jesuits to the famous " Nag's Head Conse cration," at which the libellers of the early Re formers reported' that they consecrated Bishops by the imposition of the hands of a Pre late while in a state of intoxication. A ribald Papist poetaster, who assumed the name of WARD, wrote a doggrel history of the progress of the Reformation in England, in which he makes Queen ELIZABETH consecrate Archbishop WHITGIFT by the imposition of her MAJESTY'S fair hands:— She bade him kneel, and having spread All her ten digits on his head : " Take thou authority to preach " God's word sincerely, and to teach " Or force my people to become " In faith and worship uniform. " To bind and loose take thou the keys, " And rule thy flock with awful ways." This said, she bade the Bishop's grace To Canterbury haste his pace. Mr. WACSERBARTH'S blunder, therefore, about the concubinage of the clergy of the Church of England proves him to have been but a very shallow theologian, even while dandled on the knees of Dr. PUSEY. From what we learn of him from his pamphlets, we think the Church of England well rid of him. But we suspect that, before all is done, Rome will have as little cause to boast of him as she had of the famous CHILL LINGWORTH. He has made his first, but we by no means think his last, recantation. Be that, however, as it may, he has unmasked Puseyism, so that honest Protestants will henceforth know what to think of a system which is preying upon the very vitals of our Universities. In speaking of the " Deputation of the Short ime Committee," on the 12th instant, we said " it is certain that the Deputation was indeed a fraud." Since that date our statement has been amply confirmed. On Tuesday a public meeting was held at the Music-hall, Leeds, to hear the report of the Deputation, when Mr. Hossort, the chairman of the meeting, stated that " on the 10th of October the Shore-time Committee re- ceived a communication from their friends in London, engaged in watching over, and promot ing, the interest of the factory workers, recom mending that deputations of the Short-time Com- niittee should be appointed to proceed to Lon. don, and there seek interviews with Sir Ro- BERT PEEL," &c. The Leeds Committee, on the 13th of October, took this recommen- dation into consideration, and thereupon " him self and Mr. FLEMING were - appointed as the Deputation from Leeds." The origin of the Deputation, then, was London, and some instru ments at Leeds of the agitators in London de spatched Mr. HOBSON and Mr. FLEMING as the representatives of the operatives of Yorkshire. They were not sent, as was admitted at the meet ing, by the operatives of Leeds or any other town, publicly assembled, although, after the flourishing reports which they got published in the Times, they obtained, by the help of a little trick, the sanction of the meeting held last Tues day. But the origin of the Deputation, and the character under which they were pre sented to the Ministers, clearly convicts the whole scheme of fraud. Such also is the expressed opinion of the Leeds papers on the subject. The Leeds Times designates it " The Short-time Hoax," and say's— A very neatly-contrived cheat has been recently got up for the entertainment of the public, by the self-con stituted " Deputation of the Short-time Committee of the 'West-Riding of Yorkshire." Five gentlemen, bur dened with self-importance, journey up to London (at whose expense nobody knows), and, heralded by the above high-sounding title, they obtain interviews with the principal members of the new Tory Administration —whom they lecture, exhort, and counsel on the sub ject of machinery, home colonization, and Ten Hours' Bill, with all the gravity of prophets sent to warn the man who " has a heart," of the impending fate of this devoted country. There is a gross and palpable fraud on the face of the whole thing. It is obviously got up to serve a purpose— to bolster up a party whom the great mass of the people distrust and despise ; to excite odium against the manu facturing and the trading classes ; to raise hopes on the part of many which are never to be satisfied ; and, not improbably, to draw off the working c!asses from a move ment to which they are deeply and devotedly attached. The Leeds Mercury says of it--- A ridiculous effort is making by the Tories and Tory- Chartists to get up a diversion from the Anti-Corn-law agitation, for the benefit of the Tory Ministry and filo landed aristocracy. The question they are attempting to set up for this purpose is a resurrection of the Ten Hours' Factory Bill ! To show how consummately absurd is this cry at the present moment, we only need remind our readers, and especially the suffering workmen, that the Corn-law has for the last three years been much better— or worse, as they or their families may deem it—than a Ten Hours' Bill for them. To most of them it has been, and now is, an Eight Hours' Bill ! To many it has been aNo Hours' Bill ! There is no prospect, we fear, of the mills being run more than ten hours for some time to come. So that the resurrection of the Ten Hours' agita tion at this time of day is really too gross a fetch to gull any but those who wish to be gulled, that is, Tories, or that section of Chartists who have on all occasions sup ported the Tories. However, as there is a prodigious demand in Down ing-street for some question to act as a counter-irritant, and, as supply always arises equal to the demand, under whatsoever difficulties, so now a self-elected coterie, partly residing in Yorkshire, and partly in London, call ing themselves the Short-time Committee, and consist ing of Tory-Chartists and Socialists, prompted by the old high Tory agitator of the Fleet Prison, Oastler, have put forward a demand for a Ten Hours' Bill, on behalf of young persons between thirteen and twenty-one years of age! At the meeting on Tuesday Mr. JONES, an operative, said— Let Mr. Fleming look at Paisley, where men could not get work at all, and then say if this was the time for a Ten Hours' Bill agitation. They wanted ten hours' work if they could get it; but they could not get five, or six, or seven hours' work. He would tell them what he thought, and he believed he should express the opinions of hundreds in that meeting, as to the publication of this report just before the meeting of Parliament. Mr. Flem ing said that the Tory papers praised the report; ought not that to make them look with suspicion on the plan? —(Loud cheers.) It was brought forward just before the meeting of Parliament to smother—what? His firm be lief was, that it was brought forward to smother the Peo ple's Charter.—(Cries of " True," and loud cheers.) We need add nothing to these extracts ; they fully establish the true character of the Deputat ion. The Times may now see the propriety of ex plaining to the public, whom it has been instru mental in deceiving, how it came into possession of the manufactured Report, and why it described these few self-appointed gentlemen as the repre sentatives of the working people of the manufac turing districts. We must inform the public, also, that the Times is accused b the Leeds Times of having inserted, on WedMday last, a report, which " is a piece of the most barefaced trickery in re porting that it ever recollects to have met with." That report described the resolution for thank ing the Short-time Committee as having been carried by a vast majority;and it implied that an amendment, moved by a Mr. BROOKES, in favour of the Charter, had been rejected; when the facts are, that Mr. BROOKES' amendment was in corporated with the motion of thanks,—that the great majority of the meeting was in favour of the Charter,—and that the mover of the vote of thanks to the Deputation was glad to acknow ledge the Charter as a means of carrying hi s motion. Either our London Contemporary has been most egregiously imposed on, or it has wilfully misrepresented the course of proceed ings at the meeting at Leeds on Tuesday, to pro. duce an impression on the public—as the Leeds Times says—that the working men of Leeds have unceremoniously thrown the Charter overboard, in order to engage in this Ten Hours' Bill agitation. The melancholy termination of the expedi tion to the Niger, conceived in the most phi lanthropic spirit, fostered by men of the highest reputation for piety and worth, sanctioned by the foremost statesmen of both parties, and promoted with all the zeal and art possible, is sufficient, we think, to make the gentlemen who projected it somewhat mistrustful of their own i 4 deceitful hearts." They. have, too, according to Sir FOWELL BUXTON'S own statements, aggravated the horrors and increased the amount of the slave-trade, by the they have recommended to sur- ,wean are compelled by such - ' rt,ress 4, We trust their polio.'' ~i r eut tu stam,ces to mis ing ' At this moment it is involv in serious contentions with the United THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1842( States, which may end in war. In the Consti tutionnel, also, of the 21st instant, the case of a French vessel called the Marabout, which was captured by the Rose, Captain Christie, and car ried into Cayenne, is the subject of some impas sioned remarks. We will admit, though the French journal strenuously denies it, that the Marabout is justly captured and, admitting it, we ask is the cause of humanity likely to be served by provoking serious contentions between the French and the English? Will it be served by alienating that people from us? Will it be served by provoking a war with America? When we see these possible, or even probable, consequences of the zeal for the sup pression of the slave trade , we bsgin to fear that, asintheucsasaestroafyt. w the Niger ought to rest satisfied,iger Expediti on , zea l is leading possibly, with abstaining from the horrid traffic ourselves, without proceeding a step further, and from our great anxiety to make other nations as virtuous as ourselves, incur the risk of kindling the worst passions of human nature, and per haps of plunging the civilized world into war. The speeches of MM. GUIZOT and TIIIERS upon the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne, occupy the leading columns of the French Jolrnals of Friday. M. TRIERS, the ora- Dr, is a mighty favourite With the French public; but M. TRIERS, the statesman, has almost gone quite out of date. All admit that he is clever, but nobody believes biro to be honest. The policy which lie reprobates now as ruinous to France he would adopt to-morrow, if Minis ter, at the bidding of the KING. M. TRIERS spoke for two hours in the Chamber on Thursday, and the Deputies loudly applauded him ; but when it came to the vote he found himself in a miserable minority. His eloquence kicked the beam when weighed in the balance against M. GUIZOT'S honesty. It is ever thus in the long run. Talent, like the hare in the fable, may outstrip all competition at the outset, but public honesty, like the Tortoise, is sure to be first at the goal. It would be a waste of time to attempt a reply to the sophistries of M. TRIERS. While the Eastern question remained unsettled, we were not behind any of our Contemporaries in the ex- pression of strong and decided opinions about it. Nothing that can now be written upon it can change its character as a& . accoruplished fact; and therefore we shall leave it as it is, and as we earn- estly sought to make it. M. THIERS is disaffected, and rails accordingly ; we have nothing to object to, and can therefore afford to be silent. M. DE SALVANDY has made his appearance in the Chamber of Peers. The Ministers looked as if they could well dispense with his pre sence, but the learned pink of diplomatists is a favourite at Court, and can therefore afford to be eyed askance by M. GUIZOT. M. DE SAL VANDY disappointed and deceived the Cabinet, because he had secret instructions from the KING which he prefered following. PARIS, JAN. 22.—The Moniteur of the 22d publishes in its official part, a Report of the Minister of the Inte rior, dated the 7th. In this document, which fills twelve columns of the official paper, the Minister lays before his Majesty a statement of various instances of courage and devotedness, for which he proposes to grant hono rary medals of gold or silver to the persons mentioned in his Report, which his Majesty has approved. The Journal des Debuts of the 21st says :—" The re ports which have been spread on 'Change respecting the King's health are totally unfounded. With the excep tion of a slight cold, his Majesty's health continues to be very good ; he has not ceased to attend to public busi ness, and dined to-day, as usual, with the Royal Family. The Editor of the Journal du Bourbonnais was con demned to six months' imprisonment, and a fine of 4,000 francs, by the Court of Assize. The Madrid Journals of the 14th and 15th, received to-day, say that entire tranquillity prevailed in all the provinces. The cold was very severe all over Spain, even in those provinces where the temperature is usually extremely mild in the winter.—Le Commerce, Jan. 22. A letter from Constantinople of the 29th ult. in the Augsburg Gazette says :—" A few days ago Baron de Bourquency had a long conference with Izzet Mehemet Pacha, on the subject of the appointment of the new Pro testant Bishop of Jerusalem. The Ambassador is said to have complained that no information had been given on this subject to the King of the French, who, he said, ought to have been consulted. It would appear from this that the Protestant innovations which have taken place at Je rusalem have caused some uneasiness to the French Go- vernment. The Grand Vizier is reported to have replied in the most amicable terms to M. de l3ourqueney." Other advices of the same date in the Austrian Observer state that Admiral Bandiera had left for Smyrna. Izzet Me hemet Pacha had given to him, when he call©d to take leave, the sabre which he wore when in command of the Ottoman army in Syria, as a memento in having made the campaign together. Schekib Effendi, late Ambas sador at London, had been made a Councillor of the Em- pire. The small-pox was raging.at Constantinople, and had carried off many elderly persons.—Constitutionnel, Jan. 24. The day before yesterday, M. de Gerente, Adminis trator of the King's Privy purse, was called upon to answer the following curious claim, made by a M. Le bian, upon the King, and which he attempted to enforce by a civil action in the Tribunal de Premiere Instance. M. Lebian is a most indefatigable, and, as he believes himself, a most ingenious engineer and mechanist. A few days ago he invented an engine, whereby, according to his own prospectus, 45,000 bullets might be discharged at once against an enemy, by a machine worked by one man, and capable of being moved by two hones only. M. Lebian applied to the Prefect of Police for permission to exhibit this warlike engine, but the experiment was thought too dangerous, and was not allowed. Upon this the engi neer sent a model of his machine to the King, and after a time delivered a bill of sale for 400,000 f., as a price agreed upon. No such contract had, however, been made, and the machine was soon after returned to its inventor. M. Lebian then directed his genius to more pacific pursuits, and sent to his Majesty an apparatus in bronze for preserving the trees in the Tuileries, and at the same time embellishing the garden. For this he claimed the more moderate sum of 2,800 E This being likewise declined, he addressed num'erous petitions to his Majesty, in one of which he had the modesty to write—" Sire, I conceived that my money was secured as by a mortgage on a mine of gold ; but I find it is even more difficult to obtain payment from Kings and Princes than from private men." Having at length de sisted from his claim as a right, he made an appeal to his Majesty's munificence, and received a donation of 200 f. Since this act of bounty, M. Lebian renewed his demand of 2,800 f., and at length brought it into Court. The claim, however, was easily rebutted, and N. Lebian's suit was dismissed, with costs. The warrant for the execution of Serein, the murderer of the two children, arrived at Orleans on Monday. On being informed by his Confessor that his last day was come, he said he was prepared, and immediately went to the chapel, and heard mass, beating his breast in sign of compunction. While the usual ceremony of cutting off his hair was being performed, he suffered this exclama tion to escape him—" Only think that they are going to sever my poor body." At twelve o'clock he was taken to the scaffold, which he mounted with firm steps, and in a moment after justice was done upon him. An immense crowd was assembled on the occasion. NEW LIGHT-HOUSE AT CALAIS.—The French Govern ment has given notice, that on the Western Jetty Head of Calais Harbour, which has been recently extended 269 yards, a small fixed light is now exhibited, and is visible at three miles distance; but in bad weather it may be impossible to approach the extreme end of the Jetty, and in that case it wit! not be lighted. Until the Ist of May next this light will be shown, and extinguished at the same time as the tide light on Fort Rouge; but after that date the new light will continue all night. The Havre Journals mention that on Tuesday, the ' town was enveloped in an almost unparalleled dense fog, so that at four i n th e a fternoon no object could be seen in the streets a t a f ew p ace s off ; even the shop and gas lamps were invisible. It was completely a ground fog, for at an elevation of ten yards the sky was tree from clouds and the sun shining. it was also entirely confined to the town, for at the end of the pier the weather was perfectly clear. On Wednesday morning the town was free from the vapour, which seemed to have been carried by the current up the river. A skate was sold in the fish-market of Antwerp, a few days since, weighing upwards of 801bs. The Journal du Havre gives the following extract of a letter from the Captain of the Ferdinand, dated Guade loupe, Nn-. 20 :—" On October 9, when within eleven leagu es o f O ussant , I f e ll in with the E n g lish shi p Ho rns, totally dismasted.

Only a portion of her machinery can be saved. When the vessel struck on the rocks she fell with her keel towards the shore, and her deck exposed to the full has been alread- y wash of the waves, and under s',len circumstances it was almost a miracle that 41:iy of her crew were saved.

At the dinner which has just taken place, one of the sons of this lady, in proposing her health , predicted that she would live eight years longer to com plete her century. She replied—" My dear children, may your prediction be accomplished. I am very con tented in this world, for you render me the happiest of mothers. I recommend to all young couples what God recommended to the first man, in the earthly paradise : 'lncrease and multiply."' After the dinner, the old lady joined in the dance for an hour with her children, some of whom were nearly 70 years old. BOURSE-PARIS, FRIDAY, JAN. 21. -- --- First Highest Lowest Last Price Price.

Thirty.seven ----(r, SUMMARY OF NEWS AND public Opinion. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Journal des Dsbats comments with much severity, because with much truth, upon M. Thiers' speech upon the Eastern question, delivered in the French Chamber of Deputies. The Debats shows that for six years M. Thiers laughed at every position which he now lays down as immutable. The Presse is even more severe on the ex-President of the Council than the Debats. According to that jour nal 111. Thiers is only influenced by a desire to regain office, having no regard whatever to principle. The National considers M. Thiers' speech clever and patriotic, but adds, that the orator is himself not to be trusted by any party. Office is the only loadstone which has attractions for the noisy, bustling historian of the Revolution. _ _ _ Some rumours having been circulated that the King was unwell, the Debats says :—" These reports are to tally unfounded; the King's health continues to be very good, with the exception of a slight cold. His Majesty has not ceased to transact public business. The Temps states that sixty-nine Journals of depart ments have given in their adhesion to the " declaration" published a short time since by the Paris Opposition papers. The Comte de Rohan Chabot, French Consul-General in Egypt, has arrived at Marseilles from Alexandria. Not motive is given for his visit to France. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times has an article on the subject of the Niger Expedition, the object of which is to show that the whole thing was a mere delusion, and that its utter failure might have been anticipated. " Not a single item," says our Contemporary, " in the whole catalogue of splendid impossibilities has been realised ; but lives of more value than the whole genus of Buxtons and Stephens have been sacrificed in making the experiment. The frothy speeches and the unmeaning applause* have thrown families into mourning ; the lavish expenditure of public money has made, not one freeman in Africa, but many widows in England." The Advertiser is of opinion that if Sir Robert Peel adopt any plain, definite principle at all, he cannot but help on the cause of Reform ; and adds that if he con tinue submissive and docile under the hands of the Richmonds and Buckinghams ; adopt the landlords' in terests, and echo their insane cry of no surrender ; how ever he may gloss over his course with specious and artful phrases, the triumph of Sunderland will be fol lowed by a long list of similar successes that will waste his strength in Parliament, and leave him only the mi serable shadow of power. The Herald congratulates its readers on the appoint ment of Dr. Gilbert to the Bishopric of Chichester, re marking that on personal grounds this nomination is very satisfactory, but that in the existing condition of the Church it is invaluable. The chief reason for our Contemporary's satisfaction is, that the new Bishop is a staunch Anti-Puseyite., The Chronicle states that the time is close at hand when Sir Robert Peel must have done with vague pro fessions and generalities, and speak boldly out as to what he means, or does not mean, to do. "He must let us know," adds the Chronicle," whether he is for, or against, any effectual relaxation of the Corn-laws--whether he means to hold by, or give up, the New Poor-law—whether he means to restrict the use of machinery and the hours of adult labour—whether he is for Lord Stanley's Registra tion Bill, or against it. It will be a fatal moment for the Tory Ministry when they have thus to declare them selves." The Post scouts the idea that the Tories are anxious to repeal the Reform Act ; and states, "if we read our Conservative Prime Minister aright, nothing which does not find favour with the public, will find favour with him. We do not praise him on that account—far from it. He will find plenty to do so, and will not miss our voice." The Liverpool Journal observes, in an article on Mr. Cresswell's retirement from the representation of that. town:—" We are on the verge of the assembling of Par liament, and nothing is known of the intentions of the Ministry beyond the notorious fact that they do not know their own, and that secret dissensions in the Cabinet sup ply the place of interminable debates in the House of Commons; while every reflecting man is impressed with the conviction, that nothing but prompt and vigorous commercial reform can avert total and overwhelming ruin." The Glasgow Saturday Post, speaking of the recent application of the Derby and Nottingham stocking weavers to Prince Albert, says—" When the great mass of the middle class, purchasers of silk hosiery, are com pelled from poverty to descend to woollen hose, and whilst those who purchased hose of woollen manufac ture, hare to dispense with the use of hose of every kind, the manufacturers of Nottingham and Derby have gone on a wild goose chase, to a certainty, when they expect their depressed_trade to be resuscitated by the introduc tion of a new fashion at Court, just as if some new con sumption of the tens could replace the withdrawn con sumption of the thousands." The Scotsman remarks :—" It is plain that the corn lords will resort to the most desperate shifts, rather than consent to a timely and honourable surrender. One would have imagined that if unable to escape from the trammels of the Buckingham faction, the friends of Sir Robert Peel would at least have attempted some sort of justification, some show of argument for maintaining . a position so clearly proved to be untenable without ruin to the nation. But no. Their simple cry is for protect ion." We take the following from the Leeds Times :— The entire legislation of this country has been converted into a means of making the poor men keep the rich. The object of government has been completely lost sight of ; and the ends for which it exists have been entirely frus trated by the aristocratic class to whose exclusive ma nagement it has been committed. It oppresses far more then it protects." The Dublin Evening Post thus alludes to the prospects of the Orange party at the approaching Dublin election:— " There is a considerable stir amongst the Guilds, the Lodges, and the Conventicles. Tongues are wagging fast enough—but no money is coming in. Even the Orange papers do not pretend that they are very well off in regard to cash. The freemen, who, generally speaking, will do nothing for nothing, are looking ingut sitively at the election agents of Young Hopeful. ' The following is from the Bristol Mercury ::—" The present Government can only be carried on by a union of force and fraud. The fraud will doubtless be sup plied in abundance by the tricksters, trimmers, and apostates to be found in its ranks, whilst the force will be duly furnished by those high-minded gentry who wish to go a point beyond the Duke of Newcastle's pfin ciple, and to do what they like' with what is not their own.' " IVIONNY—TRADE—COIVIDIERCE. Two hundred thousand men are about to be dis banded from the present Austrian armies, to be em ployed as workmen on the great railways. Nottingham, it is stated, never witnessed such distress a mong the working-classes, as at the present moment; emigration is adopted through despair. The cloth trade of Leeds is dull and stationary ; at Huddersfield the market-days are had and deplorable ; at Rochdale the same. The Bradford piece -market is a little better. The Manchester cloth-market ieugain de pressed. A clerk, belonging to a public establishment in Exeter, has absconded with about 1,0001. with which he was temporarily entrusted for a specific purpose. A number of ladies of Leicester have formed them selves into a society for the purpose of administering relief to destitute female emigrants. The ladies of Hinckley have also organised themselves for the same purpose. Bowring stated at a meeting of the Mitcham Anti- Corn-law Association on Friday, that in Bolton at the present minute there were 9,000 persons whose weekly earnings amounted to no more than Sid. per week. On Wednesday next a great district delegate meeting takes place at Birmingham, to take into consideration the dreadful destitution of the neighbouring parts. Every place of importance within 30 or 40 miles of Bir mingham will have its delegates present. The mechanics at Bromsgrove, chiefly employed in the making of nails, have recently been put by the prin cipal manufacturers on short work, who also allow them only to earn a fixed sum per week, not more than two thirds of their former earnings. At Leicester the distress is greater than at any former period • there are upwards of fi ve hundred inmates in th e Union ! Workhouse. The Lord Mayor has issued a notice recommending_ that to day all city business be suspen ded in honour o f th e Christening. Guildhall, the Governme nt offices, pu blic f Bank, South Sea House, and Docks , a s all other establishments, will be closed. ELECTIONEERING. The Tory candidate named for Liverpool in the - I. °M l of Mr. Cresswell, is - Sir 'Howard Douglas; formerly Com missioner of the lonian Isles. -He was candidate for the ' borough once before, when he was defeated. NAVAL AND r/lIMITARY, - ---- The three ships Fantome, Brisk, and Waterwitch, after a cruise of two months on the coast of Angola, for the suppression of the slave-trade, have captured 33 slave vessels, and liberated 3,427 negroes. Two Naval Grand Crosses of the Bath are vacant by the deaths of Admirals Sir J. Wells and Sir J. Rowley; and one Knight Commandership by the decease of Sir G. Scott. _ It is stated by a gentleman who has been on board the steamers of the expedition to Africa, that the cabins were almost like baker's ovens, and must have been far too hot to be healthy. The conversion of the Warspite, 74, which was never a handsome ship, into a ranee, will, it is said, add both to her beauty and speed. MAW AND POLICE. John Gough, the ninth of the South Wraxallburglars, and who is believed to have been the man who pointed the pistol at Miss Awdry's head, is now in custody; close pursuit is also being made after other suspected parties. Baron Parke's severe attack of gout confines him at York, and hinders him from attending his duties in the Court of Exchequer this term. Delahunt, on Thursday last, made a full confession of his murder of the boy Maguire. Three incendiarisms have taken place within the last week—one to a barn in the parish of Potton, Bedford, insured ; a second in the stack-yard of Mr. Meakin, farmer, at Burrowash, Notts, destroying wheat and farming implements worth 801., and wholly uninsured ; a third at Kirton-Lindsay, consuming two wheat-stacks belonging to Mr. Barnard. This last is the second which has occurred within the last month in the same town. PINE ARTS. Four full-length portraits, and three historical pictures, have been ordered to be painted by M. Alaux, the French artist, for the Grand Chamber in the new palace on the Quai d'Orsay. The portraits are to be of L'Hopital, Etienne Pasquier. Nicolai. and Colbert. The pictures of events which have been transacted in that Chamber by St. Louis, Napoleon, and Louis Philippe. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. Of students from King's College, London, one appears in the list of honours just put forth at Camliridge as a Senior Wrangler, and fire others as Wranglers : among the. Senior Optimes also it claims fire. MUSICAL. The Promenade Concerts were resumed by M. Lau rent at the English Opera House, on Thursday, under the direction of Signor Orsini. The Melodists' Club will hold its first meeting on Thursday next. Mr. Braham left for Boston on the 21st ult., where he was to give a concert on the following day, THEATRICAL. M. Deshayes, and part of the corps de ballet, arrived from Boulogne on Friday, and preparations for the new baltet on the opening night, the 26th of next month, have already commenced. In addition to Grisi, Per siani, Mario, Runconi, Lablache, and Loewe, the direc tor has secured the services of Madame Frezzoleni Pozzi and her husband. Preparations have already commenced at the Italian Opera for the new ballet, which is to be brought out on the opening night. Madame Molteni will be first singer at the commencement. SPORTING. In the Royal Parks on Sunday the ice was in excellent condition. The numbers who skaited on the Serpentine exceeded, it is supposed, 3,000. The ornamental water in the Regent's Park was also thronged, and not less than 20,000 persons must have entered the enclosure. A landrail or corneraik, a very unusual bird to be killed in winter, was shot by Rigby Wason, Esq., M.P., on the lands of Drumlamford on the 10th. Six couple of prime fox-hounds were recently sent to Canada., by Sir John Power, of Kilfane, and are now hunting with the garrison of Montreal. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. Lord Melbourne has transmitted 101. to the Mel bourne Mechanic's Institution, now in course of formation. A new Corn-Exchange is about to be erected at Cam bridge. The Earl of Hardwicke has subscribed 501. towards it. COURT-FASHIONABLE. The Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert and Lady Peel, and several of the Cabinet Ministeri, leave town to-day for Windsor Castle. The Duchess of Northumberland left Alnwick Castle on Tuesday last, and ar► lye(' in town on Thursday. The Duke of Rutland comes to town to-day from Bel voir Castle, to be present at the Royal Christening. The Earl and Countess of Cardigan's party at Deene Park broke up on Saturday last. The Earl of Denbigh left town on Saturday for his residence at Bushey. Lord Lyndhurst and the Hon. Miss Copley arrived in George-street on Friday from Turville Park for the sewn. MISCELLANEOUS. The damage done to the Reform Club-house by the late accidental fire is not more than 8/. or 101. Lady Louisa Murray, wife of Sir George Murray, Master-General of the Ordnance, died on Sunday, at the age of sixty-five. At the age of forty-one she married Lieutenant-General Sir J. Erskine ; and leaves by her second husband, Sir George, an only daughter. A violent attack was made on the Socialist members at Whitehaven last week ; the chapel where the lectures were delivered was assailed by . a crowd of infuriated men and women, and every thing demolished within. Thompson and Buchanan, two Socialists, were savagely beaten, and their clothes torn, and the houses of other Socialists in the town partially destroyed. One reason for the attack is reported to have been an insult received by a female from a Socialist. No re-decoration of Buckingham Palace has taken place for the reception of the King of Prussia, as was reported. Sixty-six addresses of congratulation on the birth of the Prince of Wales were registered in Friday night's Gazette. Bunny Church, Nottingham, was attempted to be set fire to on Friday week. One of the pew-doors was smeared 'vith combustible liquid, and bits of deal, staves, &c., had been ignited, but fortunately gone out. The incendiary remains undiscovered.
