The Sub-Lieutenant Peter Wysoki, of the Polish troops, was one of the first founders, and having assembled some young men of the school of the ensigns, particularly C. Patzkiewii z, J. Drobiowlski, Char]. s Karanicki, A. Laski, and J. Ga rowski, he inflamed their inexperienced minds by sophism• on the political situation of Europe, kindled in their hearts illusory desires and hopes, as well as a passion for the most fatal convulsions. This meeting took place on the 15th of December, 1528. On the following day Wysoki in duced other ensigns to join his party, who were already known for their violent characters and bad opinions, such as C. Mockhnacki, S. Poninski, and S Ziechowski. This handful of insensate young men, who had not the smallest idea of the situation of their country, of its warm, or of its interests, representing in a false light all the events which passed in Europe, formed the plot which has just led Poland to the brink of a precipice, and plunged its capital as well as the provinces into all the horrors of anarchy and the evils which follow in its train. " United by a spirit of unbridled licentiousness, armed with fatal principles of revolution, these inconsiderate young men laboured to propagate their opinions, and what excites astonishment, found accomplices among men who, from their instruction and age, ought to have despised the intentions of these wretched enemies of order, and whose duty it was for the general interest to deliver them up to justice. Wysoki persuaded Captain Paszkiewiez, of the regiment of Polish Grenadiers of the Guard, to join this great society, and found in the battalion of the Sappers some officers equally thoughtless and inexperienced, whom lie succeeled in infecting with his detestat le principles, and whom be led to join his plots. Two officers of this battalion, the Sub-Lieutenant L. Przadpelski, and F. Nowsieslski, took upon them to lead their comrades and their soldiers from the path which honour and their oaths pointed out to them. "The members of the secret society encouraged each other into their assemblies, resolved to hasten the revolt by propagating their treasonable intentions among their fellow citizens, and had recourse to falsehood and deception, speaking in their conferences as organs of the whole army. Inhabitants, not less depraved and less thoughtless than they, answered on their part to these hot-headed young men, in the name of the whole nation ! A. Garowski, brother of the Ensign, assured Wysoki that the whole na tion participated in his opinions, and Zevierkowski, De puty to the Diet of the kingdom, confirmed him in this illusion. Thus deceiving each other, they indulged in flattering but absurd hopes, and misled in the army, as among the citizens, the credulous, the ignorant, the de praved, and men of a restless character. It is difficult to conceive how some Noblemen, who assembled at the re sidence of Gustavus Malachowski, could fall into the snare and give credit. " Wysoki and Nowsilski appeared alone in the Assembly, instead of the crowd of officers, whose answer was announced in the convocation. Nothing, however, was decided at this meeting, and the members only expressed a desire to propagate the secret society. " Irritated that some remaining reason still prevented the Poles from making any attempt against the legitimate autho rities, Capt. Paszkiewicz found one of these Noblemen, who he arbitrarily invested with the title of representative of the public opinion, introduced him to Wysoki, and these three made themselves judges of the destinies of Europe, of Russia, and of Poland, suited to the latter. After long debates they resolved to undertake nothing till he con vocation of the Diet of the kingdom, which they expected - - would be in the Tooth of April, 1829. In his ardour for the overthrow of the order which every where pre- vailed in Europe, Wysoki very unwillingly consented to this decision of his two colleagues. It is vet) , probable that a great nobleman laughed in secret at the avowed pro jects of the fanatical Sub-Lieutenant, and that a criminal pity alone hindered him from denouncing them to the Government. ' Among the names of the citizens ►which were mingled with those of the wretched founders of the Secret Society in the School of the Ensigns, is unhappily that of a man ►who enjoyed the public esteem. But this respectable octo genarian Niemeewirz, accustomed to indulge in illu sions, ►while he attended to the expresssion of cri minal sentiments, did not advise any act of oppo sition to the legal authorities. These young en thusiasts took the unmerited politeness with which this old man had received them for an assent on his side, and reported that he was an accomplice in their projects.— It is, however, not to blame a condenscension which he might have dispensed ►with towards these hot-headed young men, but we cannot believe that a well-informed and enlightened man can have given his approbation to plots, the object of which ►was treason, perjury, and revolt, and its consequences murder, pillage, and disorder in the ►whole country. There ►were, indeed, among the noblemen and officers, men ►who willingly listened to the speeches of Cie members of the secret society, and participated in their opinion, but a very small number of them consented to carry their criminal plots into execution. Tile news of the approaching coronation of his Majesty the Emperor as King of Poland, which was to fill all the Poles with joy, excited in the conspirators a gt.ilty ardour for treason. Lieutenant Urbanskie of the guard, who had joined them, became one of the most zealous promoters of the revolt, and contributed more power fully than any body to the propagation of the plot. A great number of Nobility had repaired to Warsaw, to he be present at the sacred solemnity of the coronation, and to enjoy the happiness of seeing a magnanimous Sovereign fulfilling the gracious intentions of his noble predecessor. The conspirators, on the contrary, took advantage of this circumstance, and of the crowd which it drew together, to spread their odious principles, and to gain accomplices to the r treason. Constantly assuming the title of organs and plenipotentiari,s of the army, and speaking in its name, they visited a great number of Deputies to the Diet, and other persons of distinction, endeavouring to draw them into their party, sometimes by threats, some times by flattery and persuasion. To get rid of their im portunities, and perhaps from fear of exposing themselves to the vengeance of the troops, whom the conspirators re ' presented in a false light, the Noblemen and Deputies con tented themselves with answering, that the time ►was not yet come. Only two of the Deputies, Trzscinski and Zwierkowski, entered into the plot, and advised that their absurd demands and illegal acts should be supported by arms ut the next Diet. But the triumphs of Russia in the late war against the Turks alarmed these audacious criminals, and checked the execution of their plots. " The Revolution of July in France revived the guilty hopes of the conspirators, gave them more boldness in their conduct, and thew into their party a multitude of restless and turbulent men and inconsiderate visionaries. They redoubled their efforts to corrupt the greatest pos sible number of soldiers. The troops were then en camped near Warsaw, a circumstance which gave the con spirators snore facilities to see the officers, to sound their opinions, and to inculcate principles of the conspiracy ; but their hopes were deceived, and they failed in their en deavours to organise a secret society in the army ; all they could do was, to gain souse thoughtless young officers and the students of the University of Warsaw, as well as a small number of inhabitants, all of them idle and unknown people. The conspirators divided among themselves the troops and the city ; from that time each of them acting in the circle assigned him, endeavoured to look out for men capable of forgetting their duties, and ready to indulge in every excess to satisfy their passions and their criminal desires. " The report of an approaching rebellion was spread at Warsaw about the middle and end of last September. The conspirators distributed invitations to revolt, menaces, and anonymous letters. " These disorders having attracted the attention of the Government, several of the most audacious conspirators were arrested, but those against whom there were only suspicions were not prosecuted. This clemency was cal culated to demonstrate ihe falsehood of the complaints of the discontented ; but every sentiment of honour was stifled in their hardened hearts, and they remained insen sible to all benefit.. The fear of being discovered, the hope of rising from their obscurity, of enriching them selves by pillage, the thirst of vengeance, and other de sires equally criminal, determined the conspirators to hasten the moment of the revolt which they prepared ; having at their head no chief known for his talents or his public services, they did not flatter themselves with induc ing the people to follow them. In this embarrassment they applied to Joaquim Lellewell, formerly a professor of history in the University of Vilna, and since Member of the Diet, a man well known by his works and his historical re searches. lle is the only one of the conspi ra t ors w h o enjoyed some reputation before this odious plot. It was the name of Lelewell which led into guilt the inexperi enced youth of the University of Warsaw. A ccompan i e d by Poronikowski, and some of his accompli ces, W ysok i waited upon Lelewell at a public library : they addressed him in a sarcastic speech, full of flattery, and induced this fanatic to join them. From that moment Lelewell became the soul of the conspiracy, and fixed Sunday, the 28th of November, for the day of the revolt. " The conspirators took the name of representatives of •lie nation and the army. After several meetings they •esolved that the rebellion should break out ou the .19tli of November, and traced the plan of it as followst— They were first to seize the person of the General Duke Gesarewitsch ; 2d, to oblige the Russian cavalry to lay down their arms; 3d, to seize the arms and deliver them to the populace ; 4th, to disarm the Russian Regiments of the Guard of Lithuanian Volhynia. The object of all these criminal acts was to overthrow the paternal system of Government, given to Poland by the Emperor Alexander, and confirmed by the Emperor Nicholas, in order to establish another Government, the fruit of chimerical illusions, and of which the conspirators themselves were to fill the principal offices. The means of executing this frightful plot were perfectly conformable to the odious object, and the perver sity of the conspirators. Conflagration was the, com mencement of an act which was to end in murder and pillage. The signal of revolt was given on the 29th of November, at six o'clock in the evening, by setting fire to a brewhouse not far from the barracks of the Russian cavalry. At the same instant detachments of Polish troops, seduced by the conspirators, left their barracks to proceed to the points previously assigned them, while a horde of the most determined villains hastened to the Palace of Belvidere, where his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke then was. " At the moment when these villains went to the Belvi dere, Wysoki, accompanied by Lieut. Schlegel and Lieut. Joseph Dobewolski, entered the school of the Ensigns. All the pupils were then assembled in the hall, taking a lesson in tactics. Wysoki entering like a madman, abjured these young men to hasten to the succour of their countrymen, whom the Russians were niass3creinz without pity. Another conspirator who had remained at the outer gate cried "to arms," and these youg men, partly from pity, partly inflamed by the 1 inguage of Wysoki, seized their muskets, and placed themselves under his command. " The total number of the Ensigns amounted to above one hundred and sixty ; they first fell on the regi ment of Miens, of the guard of the Grand Duke, whose barracks ; they attacked and caused seine disorder, but were soon repulsed, proceeding to the city after having escaped in the barracks of Randsicoil, from the cuiras sier regiment of the guard of Podolia they succeeded in entering Warsaw, where the conspirators had already had time to raise the populace. The major part of the Fourth Regiment of Infantry were the first to tread under foot the duties imposed on it by honour and its oaths, assisted by the populace, it took possession of the arsenal. The rebels were joined by the battalion of sappers, which had massacred some of its officers, who remained faithful to their duty, as well as by a part of the Polish regiment of grenadiers of the guard, and by all the Polish horse artillery of the Guard. Then began excessess of which, according to the Polish Gazettes themselves, neither Paris nor Brussels had afforded an ex ample. The furious populous, joined to the soldiers, after indulging in drunkeness an-I pillage, barbarously massacred the innocent victims who were given up to them by the private vengeance of the conspirators. Blood flowed in torrents in the streets of Warsaw, where the carnage was continued during the whole night. Guided by young officers, the greater part of the soldiers of the Polish regi ments joined the iebels. It is affirmed that not a single person of any distinction took part in the rebellion, that not a single General, Colonel, or even Captain, was seen in the ranks of the rebels; and that the companies were commanded by young Lieutenants and Sub-Lieutenants, In their efforts to keep their inferiors to their duty, the officers of the Polish troops were killed by the rebels, others were taken prisoners, or driven away by the re volted soldiers. " During these tumults the following; officers were killed : —Of the Polish troops, General Count iLtucke, Count Potocki, Tizem Vicki, Serventkowski, Ruiner, and Nowicki, Colonel Mieciyewski, and the Russian Co lonel Taihoac. A great number of Russian officers, who had not bad time to join their troops were kept as pri soners by the rebels. Providence saved the Grand Duke ; the villains had penetrated into the inner apartments of his Imperial Highness, wounded a great number of his ser vants, massacred Lieutenant-General Gendre, and gave to the Vice-President of the Police, Labowicki, thirteen bayonet wounds. In the midst of these horrors the Grand Duke found means to escape the search of the assassins, who, not having been able to discover him, took flight. His imperial Highness then gave orders to the Russian troops, as well as to the Polish regiment of Light Horse of the Guard, who had remained faithful, to go out of the city, and repel every attack made ; but abstaining from every offensive demonstration, i❑ order to prove by facts the falsehood of the reports spread by the conspirators and the rebels that the Russians were mas sacreing the inhabitants of the city. "The rebels, in superior numbers, several times attacked the Russian and the faithful Polish troops, but were always repulsed and put to flight. The regiment of guards of Volbynia, being stopped in its march by the 4th regiment of infant, y, intrepidly repulsed all its attacks, and arrived at the rendezvous which had been assigned it, after having bad about thirty men killed and wounded." (The report here commends the conduct of Lieutenant Gorecki, who remained with the Grand Duke with only six men, and has received frem the Emperor the order of St. \Vladimir of the fourth class. On the next day, the 30th of Nov., the carnage and excesses of all kinds had not ceased, the furious populace had not yet had enough of blood and pillage. The city was in the greatest danger, all the peaceable inhabitants plunged in actual apprehen sions, expected every moment inevitable death. No au thority was recognized, the voice of the favourers of the revolt guided the licentious hands of the populace. I n this desperate situation, the Council of Administration judging itself unable to put an end to the disorders, thought it advisable to call to its aid the persons who seemed to enjoy public confidence, such as the Senators, Prince Adam Czartoryski, Prince Michael Radzevail, Michael Koehavowski, Count Louis Pae, Julian Numecaritz, Secretary to the Senate, and the retired General Chlo pieki. But at the same time there were meetings of the roost violent partizans directing the people whom they had raised. They opposed all the good intention of the Council, and obliged it to dismiss some of its ancient Members, nominated by the Emperor. With (huggers in their hands they forced their way into the Hall of the Assembly, and threatened the friends of order with certain death. The Council owed its safety to J. Niemiewicz and General Scirawski. While General Chlopieki having succeeded in persuading part of the armed citizens, succeeded in re storing apparent tranquillity in Warsaw.) "Here terminated the exertions of the Counsel of Admi- ' nistration, and was new organised. Prince A. Czarto syski was made President. All the old members named by the Emperor were dismissed, 'except Prince Lubecki, Pro fessor Lelavel, Messrs. Ostrowski and Malahowski. "The chief command of all the armed force was given to General Chlopieki, who accepted it only in the name of the Emperor King of Poland. He quieted the troops in some degree, but seeing that the perverse authors of the revolt endeavoured to resist all his measures, he took the title of Dictator, dispersed the violent assemblages of the rebels, caused several of them to be pot to death, and re stored temporary tranquillity. " On the 2d of Decemberlthe Deputation from the Coun cil of Administration, composed of Prince Czartoyiski, Prince Lubecki, and the Deputies of Ostrowski and Lele well, waited on the Grand Duke, who was at Werzbv, three worsts from Warsaw, with the Russian and the faithful Polish troops. This deputation showed his Impe rial Highness the entire want of power in the Council, and begged him to allow the Polish troops that had necompa nied him to return to Warsaw, to maintain public tran quillity, which had been only apparently restored by the rigorous measures of General Chlopieki. This deputation also begged his Imperial Highness to tranquillize the people's minds, by publishing that no hostilities should be undertaken against the city. In order to avoid fur ther effusion of blood, which the small number of his troops would have rendered useless, his Imperial Highness re solved to return with the Russian troops within the boun daries of the empire, and to authorise the Polish troops, which began to partake of the geneeel agitation, to return to Warsaw. His Imperial Highness's Polish Aide-de- Camps, Vincent Krazinski and Kurnatowski, who com manded the latter, gave in their resignation immediately after having led them back to the capital. " The criminal authors of the plot, who have led a part of the troops, and the inhabitants who have made them abjure their duties and their oaths, now fearing just Punishment, endeavour to inculcate their own detestable principles. They flatter the credulous by false news and fallacious hopes, threaten the whole population with the vengeance of the Russians, call them to to arms in order to escape deserved punishment, by shel tering themselves behind the masses whom they have so cruelly deceived. Sensible of the greatness of their crime, and not hoping to escape the punishment of it, the con spirators, the favourers of the revolt, endeavoured by all possible means to carry the whole nation with them. I n violation of all the regulation', the Diet soon as sembled by its own authority, and after having recognized General Chlopieki as Dictator, with unlimited powers, closed the Session in the same manner. These are the last official accounts received by the Government." The following are extracts from Prussian and Dutch Papers, received thi s morn i ng : ST.

WARSAW, JAN. 10.-Our Journals contain the fol lowing " official" news : " On the 7th of this morvh, at three in the morning. Lieutenant-Colonelnylozynski, who was sent by the Dic tator to St• Petersburgh, arrived here with despatches which are directed to M. Sobolivoski, former President of the Council of Administration, and announced the speedy re turn of M, Jesierski, one of ti'e members of the depu tation. On this the Dictator issued, on the following day, the following Proclamation : " To all and every one whom it may concern. It is hereby made known, in consequence of the urgent neces sity that the Representatives of the people should deliberate ma the means of securing the national existence, and take measures necessary for this object, according to the 6th article of the Decree of the Diet of the 20th of December, last year, and on the representatlon of the National Council, the two Chambe?s of the Diet are convoked to the 17th of this month, at Warsaw. As soon as the Senators and Deputies are assembled, the Dictator will fix a day for the opening of the Diet." The Commercial State Gazette adds to the above, that Lieut.-Colonel Byluzynski was received on the Russian frontiers by an escort, which accompanied him to St. Pe tershurgh and back. The same journal cont,ins the Emperor's Proclamation of 24th December. The Warsaw Gazetfe says that the Dictator intends to increase the standing army to 100,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry. The Municip .1 Council of Warsaw invites volunteers to enlist in the addit,onal contingent of 2,400 foot and 480 horse to be furnished by the city. The Professors of the Warsaw Schools are to form a corps of engineers and ar tillery of the national guard. Those officers of all arms who have not yet received any desti,ation are invited by General Woyeynski, Governor of Warsaw, to pre sent themselves to the Commision of Govern ment, from which they will receive instructions on the 6th. The retreat of the Ex-Vice-President Ludo widzki was supposed to have been discovered in a convent here ; it was surrounded, and a strict search made, but only his wife and children were found. Our Journals say that the French General Lallemand is expected in this city. It is also said that Generals Regmer and Pelletier will come hither. The latter was General of artillery during the time of the Duchy of Warsaw. BERLIN, JAN. 13.—St. Schuld Seh. 4 per Cent. 88 ; P. Eng.

It is added that his Majesty is requested by the Congress to suspend hostili ties, and that M. Van Lemburg Sterum is gone to the army with orders for that purpose. Connt 0. Van Lem• berg Sterum arrived yesterday from London. It seems that the Prince of Orange intended to come home this week, but it is affirmed :hat his Highness will remain some time longer where the interests of our country yen '.er his presence necessary.— The accounts from London respecting our affairs seem not :o be unfavourable. Numerous couriers arrive and leave this place, and the Council of Ali❑isters meets daily. Mr. 11. Wellesley, SecretAry to the English Legation, passed through Breda, on his way to Brussels. It seems that up to the 9th nothing further had passed before ALiestricht. THE HAGUE, JAN. 18.—Her Majesty the Queen and Princess Frederick arrived yesterday evening from Berlin. AMSTERDAM, JAN. IS.

We have no arrivals, with the exception of the Dutch we have seen a letter from Konigsburg nmfaitlheby7th instant, which states to a certainty, that Prussia will not interfere in the affairs of Polan.l. Every t hi ng ! vas quiet in that part of Prussia, and not the least apprehensions were entertained of insurrections. She hut ,, , however, a large army to act in case of any necessity. But the most important part of the letter is, that the Prussian Government, as well as that of the French, are en deavouring tc mediate to settle the affairs of Poland. THE FUNDS.

First, that four expresses had arrived from Paris, b r inging accounts of commotions there, and another that Mr. O'Connell had been arrested for high treason; but these are only reports and require confirmation : at present it i s too soon to ascertain the real cause of the fall.

After making inquiry weQ;;;firidthat any express fro►n Paris has arrived, therefore the report in the early part of the morning that four expresses from Paris had arrived must he void of truth. The arrest of O'Connell for high treason also rests on slender grounds. The pri. sate letters from Holland state that things there are of a ►nure cheering appearance. Business is reviving, and money more plentiful ; they depend greatly on the meeting of the States General. Sonic of the letters state that the Russian troops have orders to surround that part of Po land which is in a state of insurrection, and that the Em peror has prohibited all kinds of grain from being exported. Two Rits , ian regiments are said to have deserted to the Poles. Consols are at present 81i to for the Account, and 81111 for money. In the Foreign Market Spanish Bonds are lower. THR_EE 0' CL 0 CK.

The case had been very fully argued on both sides, as well in regard to the matter of law (the most important) as to the admissibility of certain evidence ; and after the fullest consideration his Lordship had come to a determination to direct an issue to be tried at law. The principal grounds of argument at the bar of course formed the grounds of the judgment of the Court, that judgment proceeding upon the belief that there was subject matter of investigation meriting further in quiry. If the Court saw there was hardly a pos sibility of the party succeeding who applied against the Crown, directing an issue would be only a form—nay, worse than a mere form, because the trial of it might lie attended with ruinous expence, and of course his Lordship would refuse to grant it. The principal piece of esidense sought to be submitted to the consideration of a jury was a document written by a person of the name of John Trout back, before his death, of all the information and circum stances affecting his relations he seemed to have been able to collect. It was clear that John had a brother called G eorge ;--John was not proved to have been related to Samuel, and the important qts stion was whether Samuel also was the brother of J. hn. An objection had been taken to the admission of declarations of the rela tionship ;of a third person, unless it was proved de hor the declarations that the relationship existed.— To say A being related to B, that di claration could not be received ; that C was relwel to B, was against ah principle and sound reasoning; therefOre the objection failed. Neither could the Court go with a great put of the Attorney- General's argument (against the application) f.undail upon this, that declarations to be received must be cotemporansous declarations. It was morally impos sible that this argument could stand, for it was utterly out of the question to suppose that a man could have personal knowledge, for instance, of what his own grandmother's maiden name was. As to the restriction of the admissibility of evidence in respect of the subject matter in dispute, the party must (where pedigree was the question) be shown to be related in some way or other, and then the documents from him might he received. The distinction between admissible and non• admissible evidence was very clearly laid down in Pycroft v. Baker, 13 Vesey, by Lord Eldon, as well as in Drummond's case in Leech's Crown cases. The declaration of a party was not to be rejected, because he stood in pari passe with the individual seeking to take the benefit of the declarations. It was necessary that the declarations should he anti litem motem—the natural effusions of the mind, if proved to have been made with a view of benefitting either himself or those who were to follow him, then they were to be excluded. The same rule applied to written as well as oral declaration, and if it were shown that the document now before the Court had been m ttle post litem motem, fabricated or manufactured for the purpose of benefitting the writer or some succeeding persons, then it could not be re ceived, but no such proof appeared in this case. In " Goodwright on the demise of Moss," Cooper, 591, - the doctrine was detailed respecting admissible pieces of evidence, in which were included entries in a family Bible, a ring worn in public hearing an inscription of the death of a party, 'inscriptions on tomb-stones, and a pedigree that had beeen hung up in the mansions house of the fa mily. Another restriction in the admission of evidence urged was, that hearsay could not be heaped upon hear s ty; that is, that a witness could not state in evidence that be had heard a deceased person say what he had heard another person state. There was, however, no autho rity for such a restriction. A person was at liberty to state what he had heard another person declare he had beard a third person say, provided he believed it, where the reputation of a family was at stake, otherwise the tradition of a family never could be perpetuated. Mr. Justice Buller had expressly laid this down in the " Duke of Athol v. Ashburnhain," in his Nisi Price reports, in the 14th year of the reign of George 11. The next im portant consideration was, whether the plaintiff had pre sented a sufficient case to induce the Court to call for the assistance of a verdict of a Jury? If the document referred to were admitted upon a trial at law and the evidence given by an affidavit of Catherine Wilson, supported by other circumstances, there was a ity, and not a remote one, that Ssmuel would be found to be the brother of John. If that verdict was returned upon evidence, but afterwards to be disturbed, then the claimant would succeed, and there would be an end to the case. Upon the whole this appeared to be ex actly a case for the opinion of a Jury :—•' A Jury was an instrument well contrived for the consideration of many cases—for the assessing of damages, and for giving compensation in respect of those damages, and finding a way for the Court which it was ultimately to decide through a mass of conflicting testimony. The diversity of the minds of the Jurymen, if they were taken without any experience in Juries—their various understandings—their general knowledge of things.—their discussing the matters submitted to them among tivmselves—the very fact of their not being liwyers, but men—believing, feeling, and acting as men, than a capacity to aid the Court in the elicitation of truth, which no single Judge, be he ever so largely endowed with learning, ever so learned from past experience, could possibly accomplish without such assistance." The Court then directed the isssue, whether Catherine Troutback and Barbara Hawthorn were the next of kin, or of the next of kin of John Trou•back, at the next York Assizes, without in the slightest degree anticipating which way the verdict will be ELECTION FOR CITY CHAMBERLAIN (THIS DAY.) The most active exertions are being used by the sup porters of each candidate to bring up the Livery to the 111111; but this is rather a flail day as regards electioneering matters.

THE POST-OFFICE OF IRELAND.—We understand that his Grace of RICIIMOND, since his ap pointment as Postmaster-General for Ireland, has been indefatigable in making himself acquainted with all the details of that department, so far as he can do by corres pondence. His Grace, we hear, is in daily and active communication with his Irish Secretary, Sir E. Lacs.—. His Grace has called for numerous returns, and Las evinced an assiduity in the discharge of his important functions which affords the best-;rounded expectation that the many imperfection* in the arrangement of this branch of the public service, so strongly com mented on by the Commissioners of Inquiry, against which it would appear, from their nineteenth report, Sir E. LEES so long and so arduously remonstrated, will be speedily and effectually remedied by this independent and bigh-ruiuded Nobleman. WEST INDIA COLONISTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. slavery, by L or d Na pier SlR,—Your very judicious observ a ti ons w i t h respect to the question of proceeding with th e W est I n di a co l on i sts emboldens in. to beg room for a few w or d s . l am one o f 'hose who did not until lately distingui s h b etween t h e abo lition of the slave trade, as advocated by Wilberforce and as advanced IC.ylamik:noyn,atanpdretsehente.ntilret was abo welllition of observed pier in Parliament, that many came to make i representa tions on the subject of slavery, " with a he n their right hand." I was present at a meeting convened at the Hems' Tavern, Kennington, to get up petitions to the Govern ment for the immediate abolition of slavery, and heard such statements of the treatment of negro slaves, which, if true, must, as admitted by many near where I sat, soon depopulate the colonies; consequently, ruin the planters who cannot now import new slaves into theßritish colonies. But the most extraordinary statement made was, " that nothing had been done for the amelioration of slaves since 1823 or 1824 !" although no longer ago than February, 1830, an order in Council was promulgated that "slaves should be permitted and encouraged to marry," (which, indeed, the planters must desire, if they hope to keep their estates stocked with labourers,) instead of living " in sin," as one of the speakers with doleful countenance told the young ladies at the Horns—planters generally do. The said order in Council also provides, that the property which negroes acquire shall be secured' to them, except property in other negroes (the greatest punishment a planter can inflict on a refractory negro being to sell hint to one of his own race), also exemption from Sunday la bour, and some other day to be appointed for marketing instead of Sunday; that negro evidence should be admis sible, and that they should be eligible under certain regu lations to serve on juries, and many other similar arrange ments. Now, Mr. Editor, w:iat are all these but civil rights, and what must that man have in " his right hand" who denies that the negroes are at all in a condition of iniprovement ? How has the yeomanry of this land be come free? How long is it since " Gurth was the bont thrall of Cedric the Saxon." What has in other countries been the work of ages, some of the sanguine movers now a.days want to effect in a few years, before the parties can ap; reciate the benefit. A much wiser and more humane measure would be to urge the Government to put down the slave trade, which, it appears from papers before Par liament, is at this time carried on to a greater degree than when this country was engaged in it, " one commander " alone having recaptured more than 20,000 ! The con tinuance of this traffic is a disgrace to humanity, an injus tice to the British colonist, a prevention to the improve ment of the negroes in the neighbouring colonies to where they are imported, and a bar to the civilisation of Africa. A great deal of the feeling on slavery which exists at the present time is excited by making it a religious ques tion, whereas it is strictly a civil one. ANTI.HUMBUG. COURT CIRCULAR. Prince LEOFOLD returned to town on Wednesday even ing from Brighton, where his Royal Highness had been staying, on a visit to their MAJESTIES. His Royal High ness left town yesterday for his seat at Claremont. The conference of the Representatives of the great Powers respecting the affairs of Belgium, held at the Foreign Office, on Thursday afternoon, lasted till past nine o'clock in the evening. Another conference was appointed to be held yesterday afternoon. About ball-past three o'clock yesterday after noon the following Ministers assembled at the Foreign Office:—Prince EsTEttitszv, the Austrian Ambassador; Prince LIEVEN, the Russian Ambassador; Prince TAL-. LEYRAND. the French Ambassador; Baron BuLow, the Prussian Minister ; Cennt MaToesnEWITZ, and the Baron on WarssrNnuan. The Ministers were engaged with Viscount PALMERSTON till eight o'clock last evening, when the sitting concluded. Previous to attending the conference yesterday, Vis count PALMERSTON had an interview with Earl Gast at the Treasury. A Cioinet Council was held at four o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the Loan CHANCELLOR, Earl GREY, Viscount MaL BOURNE, Viscount GODERICH, \'i count ALTHoRP, Lord HOLLAND, the Right lion. C. GRANT, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM. The Council sat in deliberation upward■ of two hours. Mr. FREDERICK C. lawn has been appointed engraver of drawings to his MAJESTY. Despatches were sent off from the Colonial Office on Thursday evening for the Earl of DELMORE, the Governor of Jamaica, and Sir JAMES LYON, the Governor of Bar badoes. Despatches were sent off last evening from the Foreign Office for Lord PoNsoNar, at Brussels. The KING'S ADVOCATE-GENIRAL transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office. BRIGHTON, JAN. 21. His fiLursTr took a carriage airing yesterday in a cha riot and four, with outriders, along the coast ; previous to which Colonel DowrtatAN had been honoured by his MA .) FSTY with an audience. The QUEEN did not leave the Palace in the course of the day. Their MAJESTIES entertained at dinner his Grace the Duke of DEVONSHIRE, Mr., Mrs., and Miss CAVENDISH, the Earl and Countess of CARLISLE, the Marquis and Marchioness of BRISTOL, Lords A. and W. HARVEY, and Lady VERNON. The calld at the Palace were numerous. The county of Galway has been convened by the High Sheriff to petition for a Reform in Parliament. PHILIP HENRY SHELTON COLSON, a sur geon, late of Finsbury-square, was opposed yesterday in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, by a butcher named MEnway. It appeared that the insolvent's debts amounted to 7381. contracted since March, 1529, of which he owed the op posing creditor 251. for meat. The butcher being unable to obtain payment for his bill, sued the insolvent, who pleaded to the action, and put Mr. MEDWAY to 121. ex pence. The insolvent stated, that his attorney had pleaded to the action without his knowledge. Mr. Commissione: HARRIS said the defence to the action was vexatious, and the insolvent was answerable for the act of his attorney. He was adjudged to three months' imprisonment. It is scarcely necessary to state, that the person mentioned in the above report is not in any way connected with Mr. WILLIAM COULSON, of Charterhoose-square, surgeon. LORD AIORPETII AND SIR JOHN JOHN STONE, BART.—On Monday last Lord Mosterrn and Sir JOHN JOHNSTONE arrived at the house of T. W. TOTTIE, Esq., Leedti, and were still here last evening. There are various reports afloat as to the object of their visit. It is certain that they professedly conic in their capacity of County Members, and it is probable that they have an eye to a speedy dissolution of Parliament, and are therefore anxious, by an early coalition, to guard against a coup de mai?, on the part of Messrs. SYKES and STRICKLAND, should these Hon. Gentlemen feel disposed to try their fortune for Yorkshire at the next General Election. But the Noble Lord and Hon. Baronet have other objects in view. They may be considered Ambassadors of the Ministry. They wish to put their friends in possession of their own views, and to hear the opinions of others in return. They likewise seek to obtain commercial infor mation ; to learn the state of trade and of the working classes ; to ascertain the general political feeling on great questions of political policy ; to inquire into the opinions of the inhabitants as to the limits of the franchise, for it is unquestionably a settled point that Leads is to have the benefit of the two Members in Parliament. Numerous guests have been daily invited to meet the Members; but we understand there is a marked shyness of the circle which comes under the designation of the Leeds low party. —Leeds Intelligencer. ELOPEMENT.—A professional gentleman, who has been of late frequently seen sporting his gig and tandem through Dorchester, attended by a train of black servsnts, in livery, on foot, and assuming as much dignity and importance as if he had been a Prince of Hayti, or, a King of the Cannibal Islands —was distracted, on Friday last, at the sudden disappearance of his beautiful and ac complished wife. It turns out, that the gentleman bad, a few days previously, given a bull nod supper at hia mansion, in honour of his lady's birth day, ,ind one of the guests, taking a great liking to Mrs. Tabitha—his frail rib, prevailed on her to elope from the peaceful habitation of her honoured lord, taking with her "at one fell sweep," property to a large amount, viz. 31. and upwards in ca,h, which he had carefully laid by in a napkin, to defray his expenses to London, where he is about to proceed on bora ores of importance.
