should rally round the formers of Reform---( Hear, hear,) with that happy rapture of calmness, prudence, and determina tion, which, in trying circurnstane'es, is ever the harbinger of triumph.--( Cheers.) They 'seed been told that there was nothing extraordinary in tk e 'present state of affairs—that no thing had occurred Loft the ordinary exercise of the King's prerogative, and tht:.z it was rather indecent--( Loud laughter) .—.for such vi: is the phrase —to express any apprehension, and that the-1 had nothin g t o d o b ut to wait the course of events. iJut was there nothing extraordinary in such an exereis of his Majesty's prerogative, at a moment of profound peace abroad, and tranquillity at home, When the means of the country were improving, when taxes had been taken off, and there were hopes of a further remis sion of the burthens of the people—at a moment when Par liament was not sitting, and when Ministers had no opposi tion to embarrass them, and above all, when the Monarch bad not the means of applying to the great Council of the nation, was that a time to startle the nation as if by a thunder clap ? The Ministry had not resigned, but had been dismissed ; and some of its members first learned their dismissal from their acquaintance in the streets--so little ceremony was there in turning them out. The conse quence of such a step at such a time was, that ther e was no person to take o ffi ce, and on one man was deposit e d the whole responsibility of the Crown.—(Cheers.) During this time, the negotiations going on with France, for the purpose of en larging beneficial intercourse with this country,must have neces sarily been put a stop to. The state of our colonies, more espe cially those in North America, required at the present moment a most delicate and watchful attention, and all the preparations which were necessary to meet the Legislature in the ensuing Session must have been suspended.--( Cheers.) No great difficulty existed. Such might have been the case if the Emperor of Russia had his Cossacks at their doors, or if a civil war had been raging in Ireland • but in the present o r di nary c i rcumstances he must deprecate such a measure. Whatever the prerogealves of the Monarch might be, the present was an occasion when they had met to exer cise their indubitable right, as Englishmen, to express their opinion on the preseei posture of affairs—( Hear, hear, hear)—and in respc.-ctful, humble, but firm, language to represent to his Majesty their opinion upon past events, and what conseqw...nces they may lead to.---( Cheers.) It was their duty, if the monarch was misled, to set him right.— ( Cheers.) There breathed not a man who would dare to taunt him (Mr. Clay) with b e i ng a part i zan or ad vocate of the Whigs--( Cheers)—but ho would ask, was it for their misdeeds they had been dismissed from office ?---(Cheers.) Was it for their dalliance with the Tories, or for their complaisance to what in the House of. Commons they called " another place ?" The Whigs had mutilated all their measures to please the Peers, like, the tyrant, who tvished to make all men of the same size—those who were too long he cut a piece off, and those who were too short he drew them out.---(Laughter.) In this manner the Whigs bad mutilated all their measures--from some they had cut off all that was good, and others they had drawn out to such perfect tenuity, that all that was valuable was out of them.—( Laughter.) Was it for the Coercion Bill they had been dismissed ? For none of those things. The Cabinet had been twice reconstructed, and each time had been more approved of by the people. The- resolution brought forward in the House of Commons on the 27th of May, relative to the Established Church of Ireland, had induced some of the Members of the Administration to resign, and its new members were more decided reformers than those that were left.---( Cheers,) Did they believe that the late Cabinet had been dismissed because it had done too little, or that the present would do more ? There was not a man among them who was not steeped to the very lips in pledges against all those very questions on which they and the nation took so deep an interest. They had been told to wait; and that perhaps the Duke and his party would turn out very good Reformers after all.--( Cheers and laugh ter.) If they declared themselves Reformers, his ( Mr: Clay's) personal respect would be less for them ; he should never believe them, and he should fear that their measures were only in tended to make the treacherous or timid desert the banners cf Reform.—( Great cheering,) The Hon. Member then alluded to the Duke of Wellington's conduct with respect to Catho lic Emancipation, and contended that the sagacity attributed to the Noble Duke had completely failed him in that instance, because he had declared that he never would concede it. If flu:: claims of the Catholics were founded on right and based on the immutable principles of justice, where was his vaunted sagacity ? and if they were wrong he never should have 'granted Hear.) He had taught the people a dangerous lesson, for he said, that to right and reason we will grant nothing • but, to intimidation every thing.--(Loud cheers.). They should recollect that inti midation might be used to a bad as well as to a good pur: pose. If the same spirit was roused, the present Adminis tration could not refuse the repeal of the Union, or the confis cation of half the estates of the absentees of Ireland.._.( Cheers. ) Were those the men to whom the destinies of the country should be confided ? If the people would arise in their might they would shatter into fragments ten-fold the power of the Duke and his party.—(Tremendous cheering.) Men should concede while concession would be taken as a grace, and not wait till measures were forced from them.---( Cheers.) He was sure that those whom he addressed were the lovers of order as well as the friends of liberty. They were not, he trusted, as they had been described, in an address to the electors of Fins bury, the components of sedition and rebellion in: all ages. Ile trampled the foul imputation under his feet.—( Here the Hon. Member flung the address from which he had been reading under his feet amid tremendous cheering.) He knew the men of the Tower Hamlets well, and he could boldly re fute the calumny. It had been said that these meetings had been got up for the purpose of restoring the Whigs to power, but they knew him (Mr. Clay) too well to suppose that he would become the partizan of the Whigs, and if the Tories had become such zealous Reformers ; they must be delighted with those meetings. The Hon. Gentleman concluded amid loud cheers. The cries for Mr. Hutis becoming very general, the Hon. Gentleman came forward and congratulated the meeting upon its unanimity upon one point, namely that they would have nothing to do with the Tories.--( Cheers and laughter.) Every act oftheir Government had been characterised by extravagance, corruption and misrule, and he agreed with Mr. Clay that they would be treated as apostates, if they now professed them selves reformers. On a previous occasion, when there were 200 nominees in the House of Commons lie had defied the Tories to/ take office ; and were they not much stronger now, when they had a reformed Parliament ?—( Cheers. ) The Honourable Member proceeded at some lengh to arraign, the conduct of the Tories when in power, and con tended th at t h ey had forfeited all claim to the confidence of the people. He also maintained, that if all the Members of all the counties in England, Ireland, and Scotland were favourable to the Tories at the next election, there would still be a tremendous majority against them in the House of Com mons. Mr. Hume concluded amid loud cheers. Mr. Hume having concluded, A GENTLEMAN, whose name we could not ascertain, pro posed a resolution, to the effect, " That in the event of a dis solution, the Constituency of the Tower Hamlets pledge themselves to oppose the Tories by every means in their power."—( Loud cheering.) The resolution having been seconded, was put from the chair, and passed amidst the most enthusiastic applause. Mr. CLAY, in moving the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman, took occasion to observe in reply to his wor th y an d excellent friend, th e M ember for Middlesex, that although he might appear to be mealy-mouthed that day, he was not so in the House of Commons, where the cause of the people demand et I a bold and fearless advocate.—( Loud cheers.) The CHAIRMAN having returned thanks, the meeting sepa. rated. MAR YLEB ONE. Last evening, a public meeting of the electors of the Eastern Division of this Borough was held at the Silver Cup 'Tavern' Cromer -street, Gray's Inn-road, at whi c h several spirited resolutions, in opposition to the Tories, were agreed to. In the course of the evening the Chairman read the fol lowing letter, which had been received from Sir William Horne, in answer to an invitation to attend the meeting:-- " SIR-I have just received your letter upon my retnrn from chambers, and am sorry that a professional engagement which I cannot put off, will make it impossible for me to attend to morrow evening. I regret it, however, the less, as I hardly feel I ought to attend such a meeting, having the intention of again offering myself as a candidate for the borough ; in the meantime let me entreat of you, and of the other gentlemen who may be present at the meeting, to believe that I am as firmly and honestly determined to promote the cause of Re form, and to resist all encroachments on the liberties of the people, as any man in the borough. " I am, Sir, yours, &e., " W. Hanshaw, Esq." ‘, WILLIAM HORNE. LONDON AS IT WAS.—.The` following letter, written by Ann Boleyn to a lady of her acquaintance previous to her nuptials with Henry VIII., now in the possession of a ce lebrated antiquarian, may perhaps lead many of our readers, in a leisure hour, to compare the past and present manners of the British nation. We have modernized the spelling and the idiom :—" Dear Mary--I have been in town almost a month ; I cannot say I have found anything in London extremely agree -able, we rise so late in the morning, seldom before 6 o'clock, and sit up so late at night, being scarcely in bed before 10, that I am quite sick of it, and was it not for the abundance of fine things I am every day getting, I should be impatient for returning into the country. My indulgent mother bought me yesterday, at a merchant's in Cheapside, three new shifts, that cost fourteen pence an ell, and I am to have a pair of stuff shoes for my Lord of Norfolk's ball, which will come to three shillings. The irregular life I have led since my coming to this place has quite destroyed my appetite ; you know I could manage a pound of bacon, and a tankard of good ale for my breakfast in the country, but in London I find it difficult to get through half the quantity, though I must own that I am gene rally eager enough for the dinner hour, which is here delayed till twelve, in your polite families. I played at hotcockles last night at my Lord of Leicester's : the Lord of Surrey was there, a very elegant young man, who sung us a song of his own com position, on the Lord of Kildare's daughter ; it was very much approved ; and my brother whispered me, that 'the fair Geral dine' (for so the Lord of Surrey calls his mistress) is the finest of the age. I should be glad to see her, for I hear she as good as she is beautiful. Pray take care of the poultry during my absence; poor things! I always fed them myself; and if Margery has knitted me the crimson worsted mittings, I should be glad if they were sent up the first opportunity. Adieu, dear Mary, I am just going to mass, and you shall speedily have the prayers, as you now have the kindest love of your own—Anne Boleyn."—How different from this would be the language of a modern beauty upon her first appearance in the metropolis.

TWEINE, BROTHERS, Contractors, for the Li Great Lottery, published an d d rawn , b y authority and under guarantee of the Hamburg Government, beg to inform the public, that the 65th, Lottery of 10,000 Tickets will be drawn on the 18th of March, next ; and tickets are now selling at 108 marks Banco, or 8/. The prizes are one of 100,000, one of 50,000, one of 30,000, one of 20,000, one of 10,000, two of 5,000, four of 3,000, seven of 2,000, twenty of 1,000, forty of 500, and 1,500 of of 108 marks, which 1578 money prizes are altogether stated in marks banco, and payable witliott any deduction whatever. Four thousand tickets are delivered gratis to the holders of the 2,000 first drawn tickets, as per scheme; in consequence of which, those purchasing one ticket, at the trifling cost of Si., may obtain three prizes : and thus, if fortune prove favourable, gain 180,000 marks banco, at the present exchange, the fluctuations of which are of a very trifling nature, equal to 13,000/. sterling. Owing to the gratis tickets, the number of tickets on sale is a very limited one, so that, of course, they will be cleared off very ra pidly, and a rise in price occur very soon. Those desirous to pur chase at the present first price of Si., are requested to direct, by one of the first mails, but only for whole tickets, to the above named contractors, Heine, Brothers, in Hamburg. Those remitting a 101. note will receive an order for the balance of 2/., together with the ticket; on the contrary, those preferring to pay Heine Brothers' draft for the cost, are recommended to pay such draft im mediately when presented. A full scheme, and every desirable in formation, being always sent with the tickets, those giving orders will only have to write a line, ordering the ticket or tickets, adding the money, or an order for the same, or stating the mode of pay ment that may be preferred to the more convenient one of remitting bank notes, and giving their full and plain directions.

Lord STANLEY has not disappointed public expec tation : he has, we hear, declined joining the mock reforming Administration, even though solicited by a personage higher than the highest in the New Mi nistry. Whom next ? Bitterly will Sir ROBERT PEEL have cause to rue the day he consented to be made the tool of a party that, in the desperation of a final struggle, are pressing headlong on to ruin. He may think —and the thought is his best apology—that, from the circumstances in which accident and alternative have placed him, Eng land cannot move without Sir ROBERT PEEL. He were more or less than man to master the latent vanity of the human heart, which in his has been so power fully evoked. But upon this he may depend, that a day is not far distant when the darling conceit shall be shorn of Its present brilliancy. He is now like a man suddenly roused from a deep sleep, whose better sense has been bewildered by the strangeness of tran sition : soon, 1- lowever, will he recover from the misti ness of mind that the shock has occasioned. Is there in all Britain one sane person who in his conscience believes that the Duke will not lead the Cabinet of which he fills a nominally subordinate part ? Have the habits of his previous life been such as to dispose him to yield submission in points of policy, or to sit meekly under the despised promptings of of another? Are his opinions so plastic, or his years so young, as to give promise of any extraordinary pliancy ? No I Sir ROBERT PEEL would never have been tolerated by the Tories, as the head of the new Administration, had the Duke's name been received by the country with any demonstration less equivocal than what the necessary absence of the former was sufficient to make apparent. Nay more.: Sir ROBERT would not have been permitted to form even a part of it, but for the influence he was supposed to possess over the House of Commons—Tory as he was ! His Grace has been too long a ruler to be ruled. His political tenets are too fixed and unalterable—the perverseness common to advanced age too strong—and his contempt for " the people " too haughty, to allow him to submit to the guiding strings of one who, sprun g from the people, is not politically spotless himself. In the deep game of intrigue that has lately been played, it is possible the duped Sir ROBERT may not now see (though it will be palpable enough to his sight by-and-by,) that he has been merely used as a cat's-paw to pluck the chestnut from the fire ; he will one day or another wince at having undertaken such perilous and unprofitable work. Could he (unsupported by the party who once spurned him as an apostate,) maintain for one hour the high position which, not in love to him, but in fear for themselves, he has been by them thrust into p No, no ! Sir ROBERT has been magnified into a person of surpassing greatness by the cunning of others for their own wild purposes, and the assent alone to even join them bespeaks a moral weakness, that must still further tarnish his name as a Statesman in the history of his time. Can he, by any stretch of the fondest imagination, believe that the Duke and his Ultra party would succumb to the sentiments of Sir doing so ? The borough of the Tower Hamlets is the most populous and the wealthiest in the kingdom. The sentiments of its inhabitants, on the state of public affairs, must, therefore, at all times, command res pect ; at the present moment when a desperate though insidious attack is made upon the liberties of the nation, they cannot fail to be an object of interest to the friends, as well as to the enemies, of Reform. These sentiments were pronounced yesterday in a tone, and expressed in language, worthy of men whose struggles in the cause of Reform were not surpassed, if they were equalled, by those of any portion of their fellow -coun trymen. The Speeches, the Resolutions, and the Ad dress to the King, all breathe the same ardent devo- Eon to the cause of Reform, and the same un compromising 'hostility to the Tory men and their Tory measures. The honest, straight-forward, people of the 'rower Hamlets have not yet imbibed the new doctrine. Their sturdy common sense will not allow them to believe, that the man can be sincere who preaches one thing and practises another. The inhabitants of the Tower Hamlets will, we trust, feel highly honoured by the omission of all no tice of their proceedings both by the Times and the Herald. We apprehend that the Crisis is not yet over, judging by the number of political appeals which crowd, upon us : CAN THE TORIES TAKE OFFICE AFTER ALL ? THE TORY PARTY-ARE THEY NOT TO BE FEARED? A FEW FACTS ADDRESSED TO THE ELECTORS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. ON TIIE PRESENT CRISIS ; An Address to the Electors of North Derbyshire. By T. GISBORNE, Esq., N.P. These are the titles of pamphlets just published by RIDGWAY. Our limited space will not allow us to go into a minute or even separate examination of their merits. They are all well calculated to do good at a period like the present, when so many arts are used by the enemies of liberty to deceive the people, and to mask their own nefarious purposes. The hypocritical pretences of the Tories are exposed in their proper light, and the people warned of the fatal consequences that must result to them, from reposing such confidence in the sincerity of those who have been so suddenly converted, as might lead them to relax their exertions in the cause of Reform at the ensuing election. Brussels Papers have been received this morning. The extracts are given in another column. Advices from Syria state that Marshal MA RAIONT, on an Embassy from the Court of Russia, arrived at Alexandria on the 10th of October. He was lodged in great state at the public cost, and was repeatedly visited for an hour together by MEHENIET ALI. Let England and France mark this. The Paris papers of Wednesday have been received, together with accounts from Bayonne of the 7th inst. The Parisian journalists are renewing the discussion on the Ministerial interference of the KING ; and many of them are loudly protesting against the late vote of the Chamber of Deputies. They further pledge themselves, in the name of France, never to give peace to Louts PHILIPPE, till he restores to the nation the spirit of the Charter of 1830. • A circular letter addressed by the Government of the Canton of Berne to the emissaries of the Helvetian Republic at foreign Courts, appears in several of the Paris Papers. It appears from this letter that:Austria had learned that a meeting of some Germatiefugees had been held in the Canton of Berne, in which the conduct of the EMPEROR was severely censured; and in consequence thereof, the Imperial diplomatic agent had been recalled, thereby intimating that ulterior proceedings might be anticipated. The letter is meant to explain the untoward cause of this event ; to show that the EMPEROR was mis- informed as to the character of the meeting referred to, which was neither numerous nor politi cal ; and to disclaim on the part of Berne and the Republic any wish to interfere in the internal Government of the Germanic Confederation. It likewise breathes respect for the person of the EMPE ROR, and regret for the mistake which has so unwit tingly occurred. The intelligence from Bayonne is favourable to the cause of the CIuEEN. The particulars will be found under the head of French Papers- THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1834. ROBERT PEEL ?-or, believing, can he consent to be made the tool of another, because that other is the Duke ? Let him look well to his present short cum., or his fall will be as terrible as his present elevation has been sudden. In the measures of the HUDSON ADMINISTRA TION, (for it cannot be called PEEL'S, and it may not be the Duke's—why, therefore, should we not desig nate it by the name of a person who has figured so conspicuously in its formation), the Duke's dearly cherished political principles are solely to be consi dered : they are wrong or they are right ; but right or wrong they have grown and strengthened with his years—they have become interwoven and incorporated with his very being. At the age of sixty-six, he proudly proclaims them before all the world ; as a man of honour, then, can he forsake them ?—as a man of honour can he -in one tittle allow them to be violated ? His courage, moral and physical, no one doubts ; and having the power to carry them into execution, will he, or dare he, foi his fame's sake, neglect the means of We are told by his admirer's, (though not one word have we heard officially from his Grace in corrobora tion,) that he will bow down before the clamorous de mands of the people ; he may—but the stoop will not be the less debasing to his pride, nor revolting to his principles. The Conqueror may be conquered, but there will ever after lurk in his breast the desire to avenge his forced prostration. In proportion as we hate the evil which (contrary to the Divine edict) we do, that good may come of it, and, in over-saintly peni tence, become more rigorously strict for the future, so surely will the Duke feel bound to show his repent tance by ulterior acts more in accordance with his creed. For any one concession to the wishes of the people, contrary to his own, depend upon it he will consider himself in duty bound to devise, (and to enforce, if we grant him a continuance of power to do so,) some act of retributive justice to his outraged principles. Knowing this, will the nation permit the HUDSON ADMINISTRATION to exist beyond the first day of March next—if it die not a natural death before ? LITERATURE.

Bentley. London, 1t534. Often as we have read about the Canadas and the United States, we know not that the subject has ever been brought before us in a more attractive form than in the present volumes. Mr. Arfwedson, to whom we are indebted for the publication, is, a traveller of the right sort—active--inquisitive—eager in the pursuit of novelty, well-stored with useful knowledge, and gifted with a keen apprehension of the beauties of external nature. Hacknied as may be the theme, we can safely assert, that we have read his brief but masterly sketch of the " Falls of Niagara" with as much relish as if the subject were wholly new to us. The author's details of his voyage to New York, when the packet-ship in which he embarked was overtaken by a storm—of the crew sitting up throughout the night in the dimly-lighted cabin, endeavouring to keep up each other's courage by telling frightful stories of " battles, sieges, hair-breadth 'scapes, &c."—and, in particular, of the old American Republican, who, when revolutionary anecdotes were brought on the Lapis, could not contain himself, but burst forth into an uproarious " Yankee-doodle" that almost out roared the hurricane that was whistling about the vessel ;—these details are full of those little graphic touches which constitute the great charm of real narrative. Equally dramatic in its way is the sketch of the American pilot who comes on board, just when the welcome cry of " land" is heard from the mast-head. In his description of the rising city Of New York; Mr. Arfwedson is remarkably minute, perhaps too much so, considering that the majority of his readers are as familiar (from the multiplicity of descriptions they have read .on the subject) with the Broadway and the American boarding houses, as they are with Regent-street, and the manners of the middle classes in the metropolis. The author's narrative of his voyage up the river Hud son, of which Washington Irving has made so much his " Tales of a Traveller," teem with interest—a t praise which we may accor d a l so to his description of the city of , Boston, memorable for its early struggles during the revolutionary war ; of the manners of its inhabitants ; and its somewhat paradoxical " Tempe rance Societies." The main recommendation, how ever, of Mr. Arfwedson's volumes—and we know of no greater recommendation in books of voyages and travels—is the air of uniform truth and impar tiality that pervades them. They are filled neither with rancorous abuse of the Americans on the one hand,nor with i , discriminat e eulogy in the other, but keep a safe and happy medium between the two. Those who desire u to obtain a fair insight into the nature of transat lantic manners and institutions; and who desire also to be amused as well as enlightened, should peruse these volumes with attention. We are limited in space or we should go more at length into the subject ; so for the present, must content ourselves with the fol lowing brief sketch of a storm in the neighbourhood of the Niagara river : About seven miles from this great natural wonder, we were overtaken by an awful storm, such as is frequently expe rienced in the American hemisphere, and of which only those who have witnessed it can form any conception. I have re peatedly seen storms of a terrific nature on the Alps and Apen nines ; but such a convulsion in Nature as that which I now encountered surpassed my imagination. The heavens were clothed in a sable mantle, apparently so heavy, that it seemed to rest on the tops of the trees. The reflection on the stream gave it a sad and gloomy cotour, such as the sea presents when the waves open their bottomless abysses. A kind of darkness, neither dusk nor night, covered the scene—only now and then Interrupted by flashes of lightning, visible in every direction, as if they were waging war against each other. It was not imagination that made the atmosphere feel extremely oppres sive, almost obstructing respiration ; even animals felt its in fluence—the horses of the stage would scarcely move. This oppressive state of the atmosphere continued a long time, and was a ‘ source of great annoyance to all the persons crowded to gether in the coach. Nothing makes travellers so silent and dejected as a storm : th e mos t lively and talkative assumes a serious look, when his eyes are blinded by lightning. Con versation ceased as soon as the storm became serious--every otie probably communed with his conscience. I only per ceived the heavy breathing when the thunder ceased for a few seconds. All communication with each other was suspended, for the crashing of the thunder was deafening, and continually in creasing. None of the females had, as yet, shown any symptoms of fear, whatever they felt ; but, when the flashes of lightning followed in such rapid succession that all around appeared in a blaze, accompanied by awful peals of thunder, cries of anxiety were heard in the coach. Our situation was rendered still more disagreeable by the rain pouring down in torrents, and penetrating, without difficulty, the roof and doors of the coach. Who did not then wish himself under some hospitable roof ? But where was such a one to be found ? The driver had, on the first appearance of the storm, been desired to stop at the nearest house, and assured us it was at only a short dis tance ; but this short distance, it was found afterwards, meant a few miles ; so that it was not till the worst part of the storm was over that we saw signs of a human habitation. Here we Waited till the weather cleared up. The air became by de grees lighter and cooler; and Niagara at last resumed its empire, by raising its powerful voice, which is heard for several files round."

A book so rich in thought, so varied in information, and so elaborate in detail as the volume now before us, is seldom to be met with among the works of modern tourists. Captain Boid is not a mere traveller, who contents himself with reporting road-side conversations, or describing a group of dirty little urchins on a village green, to satisfy the sentimental, of his qualifications for novel-writing in the slip-shod style. He handles his subject as he ought . to handle it—as a naturalist, a moralist, and a politi cian. The only fault we find with him is in his style, which is frequently stilted, and sometimes approaches to bombast. He is too fond of parading his know ledge of what the ancients would have reckoned among the occult sciences—Geology, Mineralogy, and Botany. Hard words may be great proofs of a writer's scholastic attainments, but at the same time they betray a crudity of taste which impairs the value of their works in the estimation of more practised authors. Still the book before us is rendered so interesting by a number of spirited descriptions of the manners and customs of the inhabitants of these islands, and the history of their connection with the Crown of Portugal, that to us it possessed all the interest of an Oriental tale, inde pendent of its literal truth. The Azores are a cluster of islands in the midst of the Atlantic Ocean, which are here proved to have been produced by the action of fire. The following is the opening description of the soil and climate With respect to the climate of this Archipelago, nature appears to have been prodigal in bestowing on it all the ad vantages that a fine atmosphere and a pure air can impart either to the animal or the vegetable world. The tempera ture is most delicious, and there is a spring-like softness in the air, throughout the year, with no greater variation than 25 degrees of Farenheit's thermometer, whose average range from January to December is between 50 and 75 degrees. The vi cinity of the sea, united to the mountainous elevation of the general surface of the land, and incessant absorption of hu midity which the volcanic nature of the soil induces, tends to temper and mollify the extreme ardor of the sun in this iso lated spot of the ocean. From the indication of the thermo meter it will be seen that extremes are never felt : that cold can never be considerable even in winter, or in the heats of summer intense. The general mildness of temperature is in deed so marked and peculiar, that no provision is requisite for the poor against the inclemencies of winter; and the facility of procuring the means of sustenance is so great, that, in combination with this peculiar mildness and the nature of the government, a constitutional aversion is almost engendered to those efforts necessary for the improvement of cultivation. Nothing can be more enchanting or lovely than the spring : vegetation shoots forth with a rapidity and vigor that is quite astonishing, whilst there is a fresh verdure in the herbage, and a brilliance, beauty and fragrance in the flowers, eminently or namental to the different gardens and parts of the country where they abound." The inhabitants of such a delightful region might well 1 to possess every happiness of which man can be capable. Yet the people are poor, ignorant, and often profligate in their conduct. Neither is the number of the inhabitants at all adequate to the means of sustenance which these islands are capable of affording, with even an attempt at cultivation. The 'following are the causes assigned by Captain Boid for the comparatively wretched state of the inhabitants of the "Western islands : " In the first place, the miserable, arbitrary government policy of both church and state that has hitherto paralyzed the elements of industry wherever its baneful effects have been felt : for whilst church policy has, through priestcraft and loading men's consciences with superfluous weight, kept the people in a state of moral debasement, checking the growth of intelligence, and practising its greedy exactions on indi vidual property—that of the state has established a kind of physical degradation by the following means ;—namely, a military despotism, and a code of laws which, instead of securing the person and property of the subject, and encou raging both industry and talent, has tended to expose the one and restrain the other. Hence has resulted, on the part of the people, a state of apathy, indolence, and recklessness cha racteristic of every oppressed and misgoverned race. " In the second place, the ruinous operation of the laws of primogeniture, particularly as three-fourths of all the culti vated lands of the islands are entailed ; which laws, so long as they exist, must place insuperable obstacles in the way of civilization and prosperity. The owners of these large estates can in no country undertake to farm and cultivate such ex tensive properties themselves, and much less here, where both capital and entorprize are wanting. They have, therefore, recourse to leasing it out in small grants to ignorant farmers on whom they exercise the most grinding tyranny and ex action ; and such is the impolitic system of short leases, that the poor farmer is discouraged from doing that benefit to the ground he otherwise might : indeed, to make the best of a bad bargain, he drains all the virtues out of the soil, and yields it to his master, at the termination of his lease, in almost a sterile condition. The great proprietors of these entailed estates are called Morgados, which title is appended to the name of the person as that of Esquire to an Englishman's. Many of them are in the annual receipt of as much as 40,000 crowns from their lands, and reside -in Portugal, whither their rents are transmitted in the form of produce. ***** * . * • * " In the third place, must be noticed the total absence of practicable roads for communication with the interior, and by which the produce of the country might be transported at a cheap rate to any general mart : the result of this is, that the central parts of these fertile islands, amounting to full two thirds of the whole superficies, are unconverted to any pro fitable purpose, and lie deserted in a state of uncultivated waste, or are impenetrably covered with underwood, briers, wild shrubs, stunted cedars, &c., leaving nothing but a mere belt of land, bordering on the sea, that is either peopled or brought under culture." We have further to observe that this book is embel lished with several very handsome views tolerably wel executed. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.-THIS DAY. A numerous meeting of the Common Council was held this morning for the purpose of considering the answer re turned by his Majesty to the Address from the Court. The LORD MAYOR, accompanied by the usual city officers, took the Chair a few minutes after 12 o'clock. There were only four of the Aldermen present, viz., Aldermen Kelly Harmer, Venables, and Laurie. The Mi nu te s o f th e l as t Court having been read, The LORD MAYOR informed the Court, that on the 2d December he had attended his Majesty with the address of that Court, to which his Majesty had been pleased to return a most gracious answer. He handed it to the Recorder, who read it (as it formerly appeared in The Sun), the Court all standing. Mr. ASIIURST moved that his Majesty's answer be entered in the minutes of the Court. Mr. FIGOINS moved as an amendment, " That his Majesty's gracious answer be entered in the minutes of the Court." A scene of great confusion arose which lasted for two mi nutes, during which both motions were seconded. Mr. DIXON said a few words, but they were lost to us from the noise which prevailed. Mr. GALLOWAY said no one would for a moment suppose that the Court would do its duty if the answer were not re corded—but he must say that whatever the words of it might be, whether gracious or not, there could be no doubt at all as to the ungraciousness of the manner. ( It was known beforehand what objections were going to be made upon this head, and it is impossible to .describe the up roar that instantly ensued upon Mr. Galloway's pronouncing that word.) Sir P. LAURIE rose to order. There was nothing g all about the manner then before the Court, nor did he see how there could be. Surely that Court were not to turn critics upon manners ? Mr. ASHURST denied that the Hon. Gentleman ( Mr. Gal loway) had made the question one of manners at all. He was raising an argument which was perfectly open to him upon the motions then before the Court. The LORD MAYOR said there was certainly nothing before the Court, by the consideration of which it could come to any conclusion as to his Majesty's manner ; even if it were possible to bring anything, he did not see how he could allow it to be proceeded in. There was a written document for the conside- ration of the Court, and therefore he vrould not suffer tiiea;- gument begun by the Hon. Gentleman to be used in that Court, in his presence. It was due to the Sovereign, as well as to himself, that he should act so, and he trusted he should be supported while performing his duty. Mr. GALLOWAY proceeded. He had the most sincere re spect both to his Sovereign and to the person filling the office of Lord Mayor, but while he had the honour of a seat in that Court, he would not be dictated to by any one, as to the way in which he should perform his duty, or give utterance to his sentiments upon any question.—( Cheers.) He considered it was then as much a part of his duty tocomment upon the con duct and manner of His Majesty (During the whole of this speech the Lord Mayor was call ing upon Mr. G. by name to desist—to sit down—the Court being all the while in the utmost confusion. At last the Lord Mayor rose apparently much excited. He said a fe w wor d s , but it was impossible to catch even their purport, from the noise that prevailed.) Mr. Deputy BROOKS trusted the Lord Mayor would be sup ported in the performance of his duty. Mr. ASHURST—SureIy the Lord Mayor can take care of himself; he does not need the protection of the worthy De puty.--( Laughter. ) The LORD MAYOR said he appealed to the Court whether such a line of argument as the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Gal loway) persisted in, which appeared to him (the Lord Mayor) as most indecorous and most impertinent—( Loud cries)—should be allowed to go on. He would not allow it to be done in his presence. If the Court supported him, well and good; but if not, he could not help it.—(The remainder of the threat was lost in the immense uproar that ensued.) Sir P. LAURIE again rose to order, and appealed to the Court whether their proceedings would give it any addition of dignity? Every word of the answer was open to their com ment, and might be criticized ; but with the manner in which it was delivered they had nothing on earth to do. If he had the honour of sitting where the Lord Mayor did, he would not suffer one word to be said upon the subject. Mr. GALLOWAY said much time had been lost, but the blame rested not on him, but on those by whom he had been so often interrupted. He meant not to say one word upon the wording of the answer, but he must positively deny that the manner in which it was delivered was, or could be considered as gracious. ( There was here another storm from all parts of the Court. ) The LORD MAYOR rose and said, if Mr. Galloway did not submit— Mr. GALLOWAY—These interruptions The LORD MAYOR—Mr. Galloway, I say again you may criticise the answer so long as you please, but if you presume cheering)—to criticise the manner of its delivery, I am sure I will be supported by the Court. Mr. Galloway and several others attempted to speak, when The LORD MAYOR, raising his voice, said you may do as you please, but if order is not restored, and if the objection able arguments are persisted in, I will take the sword and mace and break up the Court.—( Immense uproar.) Mr. Wire rose to order. The terms in which the Lord Mayor had indulged were most unworthy of any one who had the honour of being President of that Court. The LORD MAYOR decided that Mr. Wire was out of order, for he was not speaking to it, and another was in possession of the Court. - • Mr. GALLOWAY regretted very much that he had been the cause of so much disturbance. I meant to say a very few words, and would have been done long ago if I had been allowed to go on. I was about to refer to what the conduct of his Majesty had been, and if I have called it by any name displeasing to your Lordship, and in which you could not agree, I am sorry for it ; but I gave it the only name which I thought it deserved. (Great cheering.) Mr. STEVENS said if any thing unpleasant had arisen, those only were to blame who had moved the amendment. The original motion was, " That his Majesty's answer to the Address be entered on the minutes of the Court."—Now surely they had the choice and the liberty of speaking freely upon the motion before them. The answer was before them, and to enter it upon their juurnals appeared to him to be quite sufficient, and that the amendment was uncalled for.— ( Cheers.) His decided opinion was, that the original motion was a proper one, and ought to be carried. He would freely give it his support.—( Applause.) Mr. FIGGINS said he bad not seen the necessity for the noise and confusion that had taken place. He was most firmly of opinion that the answer was a most gracious one, and one which ought to be most conso latory to every man of good feeling —(laughter)—and he confessed he was astonished to find that any Reformer could find fault with it.—(Great laughter.) His Majesty had said, " It ever was, and ever will be, his most earnest desire to correct all abuses, and improve the condition of the country." That he had been most anxious to do so no one could doubt, for he had given them the Reform ,Bill.—( Cheers.) He did think that it was undeniable that to him they owed all grati tude for that great measure, which was the means placed in the hands of the people for the correction of every abuse.— (Great cheering.) With it, what had they to dread from Torryism ? It never could prevail. Then his Majesty fur ther said—" He trusted that the Ministers whom he had chosen would carry those wishes into effect"—that was, that they would go on and reform.—( Great laughter.) He did not say he was confidedt they would do so, or that you may rest assured they will do that—but then did these words not imply that if they did not, he would withdraw his support from them.—( Much laughter.) He said it was the first wish bi 4 heart—they had had proof of that, and therefore, 9.'1 the answer altogether, he did not see how It „sig ni ) deserve the character of being ungracious.---( llear ' He was not so fastidious about reform as not to receive it frog' any hands and in any manner--(Cheers)—but he trusted thei would all unite against the common enemy of Reforrn.-:t ( Cheers.) His Majesty had pledged himself that the b,- wishes of his heart were to correct all abuses in the country; ( Great cheering)—and the King having given that assurill ig he trusted that the C our t wou ld en t er u p on the minutes gracious answer. He l oo k e d upon th a t an swer as a P ledge of his Majesty's intention to correct every abuse. %fa, Sir P. LAURIE trusted that the Court would place his jesty's gracious answer upon its minutes. Some of the cleni: hers had stated that there was no dependence to be placed uPl'i the new Ministry ; that assertion he considered too rash ; „ they asked for was fair play, which he hoped would be g iwe ; to them, for if it was, he was sure they would satisfy &Al': pectations of the country.—( Cheers and disapprobation .) greatest Statesman in the world had now been called to ,bt head of affairs, and under his fostering hand be had no d'lu that the prosperity of the country would increase. . 61 it Mr. AstitTasT stated that as the Lord Mayor lied 55 , 1 f was competent for any person to comment upon the vor,“ s „ ° T t the answer to the address, he was anxious to ask the whether that answer applied itself to the address—( ne : g t hear.) It was true that it professed to answer it, but it 1a .,. be evident to every body that it gave it the complete go' void ( Cheers. ) It was anything but a gracious answer, and be vgrhe therefore not consent to vary the motion he had made., actions of Princes were to be tried like other men.— (C ne t".,„a The King was but a trustee for the people, a nd on sPel; of his conduct as trustee, the people had a right to trea t as any other man.--( Cheers.) It had been stated at the ;it Court that the King ought to be honoured—he would that, but he thought truth ought to be honoured much In -( Great cheering.) A the The REC9RDER then put the original motion, an - t he amendment, and declared the show of hands in favour of amendment. a di- Strangers were then ordered to withdraw and upon Lange,. vision taking place, there appeared— For the original motion 3B For the Amendment' 46 Majority • the On our admission we found the RECORDER pUtling m question—Whether the word most should not be added to;r, word gracious, the insertion of which he declared to be c vied by the show of hands. TOASTS AT THE CORPORATION DINNERS. Ct 110t1 Mr. JONES wished to know why the motion, of which had been given, relative to the toasts at the Corporation .vall ners, was not in the paper ? He considered its omission h'r , impr T oper. he LORD MAYOR said the reason iihad been omitted 97 , a5 ,, 5 at he, as first officer of the city, presided at these dinners, anal', be liberty according to all ancient usage to give what to ast s s o pleased, without being called upon to give an account f° doing, either by that Court or any body else.--(Gre at fusion.) Mr. C.
