He said 1 %4A !nee, in considering the Guebhard loan, might `4 It tee a question of justice, though it nugh perhaps be as just as the other loans contracted afterwards, but as a principle of right. The great object of the com mittee was to place in the power of Government the means of extinguishing the civil war. With respect to the Gueb hard loan, the committee thought that a petition ought to be presented to her Majesty on the subject. The Duke de Ribas desired to put a question to the Mi nister of Finance. He had seen in the French papers that the Bourse of Paris had come to a resolution having for its object to throw impediments in the way of the loan which the Spanish Government wished to contract. Now he wished to know whether such a resolution had been agreed to, and whether the Freneh Government had any share in it. The Minister of Finance said he could assert that the French Government had taken no part directly or indirectly in the resolution alluded to by the last speaker. The French Government was too much interested in the pros perity of the cause of the present Spanish Government to take any measures calculated to impede its progress. To be convinced of the truth of this observation, it was only necessary to recollect the course pursued by the French Government, with the view of rendering successful the cause of liberty, which all true Spaniards were so anxious to defend. With respect to the resolution itself, its effect would be more felt by those who have taken it, than by the Spanish Government. (Left sitting.) BAYONNE, OCT. 18. Mr. Bowring, who has been commissioned by the Bri tish Government to inquire into the situation of our vine districts, arrived here on the 16th. He immediately waited on General Mina, who is still at Cambo, and was accom panied in his visit to the Spanish patriot by Colonel Wylde, the successor of Colonel Caradoc. The General is won derfully recovered. Dr. Bowring, on his return to Bayonne, assisted at a banquet offered him by the Chamber of Com merce at the Hotel St. Etienne. General Harispe, who has just arrived from the Aldudes, where he inspected the battalion of the 18th regiment of the line in garrison at Baygorry, contradicts the report of the cholera having manifested itself among those troops. He states, however, that eight persons had died of the epi demy at Banca.. Four men who bad carried a coal-porter sick of the cho lera from Banca to St. Jean Pied de Port, were seized on the 16th, and two of them died almost suddenly. What gave rise to the report of the existence of the cholera at Baygorry was an application from the Colonel of the 18th regiment for medicines, and his having ordered a temporary hospital to be established for his men. I am credibly informed, and you may rely on the accu racy of the statement, that Zabala and Valdespinas, having disobeyed the orders of Don Carlos, have both been super seded in their command. The object of Don Carlos's visit to Biscay was to have an interview with those Chiefs, nei ther of whom appeared at the rendezvous. The following intelligence is extracted from a Carlist bul letin, dated Urdach, the 17th. " Z u malacarreguy has sur prised the advanced guard of Lorenzo's column at Abar- 1 zuza, consisting of 600 men. They had halted, and piled their arms, unconscious of any attack from the Carlists, when four companies of the 4th battalion rushed and seized on the . muskets. The Queen's troops attempting to es cape, were surrounded by two other battalions, who put them all to the sword. The main body of Lorenzo's forces then came up, and was in its turn attacked by the Carlists. The loss of the Queen's troops in the desperate engagement that ensued, is said to have been 1,000 men hors de combat. " Lorenzo, after this check, set fire to the village of Abarzuza, only sparing the houses of the parish priest and physician, which Zumalacarreguy burnt to the ground on Lorenzo's retreat. Thus the whole place has been con sumed." I have not been able to procure any other account of that battle. To-morrow, probably, I shall have the Chris tino version of the affair. Elisondo is a prey to famine and the cholera. BAYONNE, OCT. 20.—The column of General Lorenzo entered Pampeluna on the 16th, escorting a large convoy of wine, oil, vegetables, and corn. The Commander of the sth battalion of Navarre, in compliance with orders transmitted to him by Zumalacar reguy, arrested in different places 86 persons, among whom were 36 women, suspected of being partisans of the Queen. They were brought off to the valley of Ulzama, where 40 of them obtained their liberty on paying each a ransom of 1,000 francs. On the 16th the Carlists shot a young deserter from their ranks, on the square of Erraza, in the valley of Bastan. The columes of Oraa, Cordova, and Linares were, on the 16th, the former at Arroniz, the second at Dicastillo, and the third at Rieza—none of these places are more than two leagues distant from Estella. Zumalacarreguy was, on the same day, in the valley of Goni. The sth and 6th battalions continue to invest Elisondo. The column of Lorenzo is expected in the Bastan on the 20th. Don Carlos passed, on the 15th, a review of the four battalions and cavalry of Zumalacarreguy at Legaria, in the valley of Ega. Zumalacarreguy and Eraso both at tended. The Pretender had commenced a harangue to the troops, when suddenly bursting into tears he was unable to continue. A corps of insurgents presented themselves yesterday before Irun. After firing a few volleys into the town they retired to the mountains. BAYONNE, OCT. 21.—The Supreme Junta of the Car list government of Navarre, issued a decree on the 17th, directing that a contribution be levied throughout the king dom in the following manner : " All the inhabitants of said kingdom are to contribute 10 per cent. on the amount of the farm and house rent, or other rent which they may pay ; merchants of all classes are equally liable to a contribution of 10 per cent. on all their goods. Eight Commissioners have been appointed for the purpose of raising and collecting that tax. These are Messrs. Juan Angel Revalda, Fernando Lecea, Babil Torrecilla, Fermin Arbeloa, Francisco Iraneta, Saturnino Escurra, Luis Irayzoz, and Fray Luces Arcona. Those Commissioners shall each be entitled to an escort of ten soldiers." Zumalacarreguy has sent orders to the flying columns of Zubiri, in the valley of Esteribar, and at Olague, in the valley of Aune, to cut off all supplies from Huarte and Villaba, two towns situate within a league of Pampeluna. Any person disobeying this order is to be instantly shot. On the 16th, a countryman from Cilbeti, in the valley of Erro, brought to Pampelupa two horse loads of charcoal, which he sold for 12 piasters. On his return he was stopped by the column of Zubiri, and fined 60 ounces of gold, which he engaged to pay to save his life. It was reported in St. Sebastian that the Baroness of Carondelet had died of the cholera, and that her husband had been brought a prisoner to that fortress. Provisions are extremely scarce and dear in that town, the Carlists cutting off all the supplies. The taxes have of late been trebled. El Pastor had given a Deputy of Biscay an escort of 40 men to enable him to cross that province and proceed to Burgos. The sister of the Brigadier was of the party. The Carlists attacked them shortly after their departure, and put them all to the sword. The Carlists were in the habit of entering Elisondo every morning, and repairing to a particular house of the town where brandy is sold. The commander of the fort, Zugar ramurdi, being made aware of the circumstance, placed 100 men in ambush on three different prisoners. In the morn ing of the 19th the Carlists were coming up as asual, when the troops opened a tremendous fire upon them, killed 18 and wounded 30 ; seven others were taken prisoners. The soldiers had only one man killed and seven wounded. The Carlists belonged to the sth battalion, commanded by Se gastibelza. The following are extracts from a Carlist bulletin that has just come to hand : " Zumalacarreguy entered Castile on the 11th, with three battalions and the entire of the cavalry. Having met Colo nel Amor, at the head of 200 horse, between Cenicero and Montalvo, he attacked him, and took from him 30 horses, with several prisoners. The next day he entered Briones. The Urbanos of that place surrendered their arms, consist ing of 150 muskets. On being informed of the advance of the Queen's forces from Vittoria and Estella towards Haro, Zumalacarraguy retreated into Navarre, and slept on the 14th at Santa Cruz de Campeza. " The King was, on the 14th, within two leagues and a half of Bilboa. His Majesty having twice transmitted to Zabala and Valdespinas orders which they refused to exe cute, thought proper to deprive them of the command of his forces in Biscay. The troops of that province had long complained of the inaction in which they are kept by their commanders. They have been replaced by Batis and Si mon de la Torre. The division of Biscay is about being placed en a respectable footing, and will thus be enabled to to co-operate advantageously with the army of Navarre, under the direction of Zumalacarreguy, to whom this acces sion of force will be of the greatest assistance. " The new Chiefs enjoy the entire confidence of the people of the province, and justify it by their talent, their knowledge of the country, and their love and devotion to the King. " Espartero is closely pursued by the troops which his Majesty commands in person. An extraordinary birth took place at Houghton, near Market Weighton, a few days ago. A gipsey woman was safely delivered of three children, in a plantation, belong ing to the Hon. C. Langdale, of that place, who, as soon as he heard of the circumstance, ordered that every assistance should be given to the woman, who is now, with her offspring, doing well.—Hull Advertiser. The following extract from Galignani's Messenger of Thursday, translated from the Moniteur, will explain the points alluded to in the above letter : " GUEBHARD'S LOAN AND CORTES' BONDS. " The Government received by telegraph yesterday from Bayonne the following despatch, dated Madrid, October 18, addressed by the French Ambassador to the Minister for Foreign Affairs : " "The Chamber of Proceres to-day adopted the Bill upon the Foreign Debt, with the following modifications : " ' 1. The acknowledgment of Guebhard's Loan. " 2. An Amendment, according to which the interest actually in arrear will euter into the Active Debt annually, and by 12ths from 1838. " This applies to the interests of the bonds of " The first and second paragraphs of this despatch were posted upon 'Change at a quarter before 4, the third at 10 minutes past 4, and the fourth was interrupted by nightfall." The French papers of Friday contain nothing of im portance. With the Paris Papers of Saturday we have received the Bordeaux and Bayonne Papers of the 21st and 22d inst., together with letters from our correspondents in Paris and Bayonne. By a telegraphic dispatch published by the Moniteur, it appears that Zumalacarreguy had fled on the approach of the Queen's troops from Haro, where he was, to Santa Cruz de Campezo. Zavala has been superseded in the command of the Biscayans by Torres. The Junta was at Lesaca. The particulars relating to previous occur rences, which we find in the Papers from the south of France, and in our letter from Bayonne, do not show that any thing of importance has latterly taken place in the revolted provinces of Spain. Even the Carlist Papers are at a loss for news wherewith to keep up the spirits of their friends. They are reduced to a few on-dits, with the worth of which every one who takes the trouble to look occasion ally into their columns must by this time be sufficiently acquainted. Some of the Paris papers speculate anew on the chances of a war between the Sultan and the Pasha of Egypt, in which Russia may be allowed to play the lion's part. Our correspondent says something about a loan about to be con tracted for in Paris on behalf of Russia, which, considering that she can only want money to be prepared for a war, would show that the Court of Russia has reason to expect one. The Crown domains and confiscated estates of Po land are to be offered as security for the loan. Thus the resources of enslaved Poland are to be put forth, in order to procure the means which are to serve for the subjugation of other States. If any people in France and in England are foolish enough to lend their money for such a purpose, it is to be hoped that the fate which lately threatened the Guebhard lenders will await them.

TAILORS' TURN-OUT. This strike, which has now lasted eighteen weeks, is appa rently fast approaching its termination. We understand that 270 of the turn-outs, having at length seen the folly of their conduct, have withdrawn themselves from the Union, signed the declaration against Trades' Unions, and returned to their employment. Of course, they will no longer contribute to the support of those who remain out ; and the shops being more or less supplied in this way with men refusing to support others in idleness out of the produce of their own industry, a " stoppage of supplies" must, ere long, bring dissolution at once to the turn-out and the Union. Many of the old hands, in preference to subsisting on the scanty pittance afforded by the fast diminishing funds of the Union, have quitted the town in search of employment elsewhere ; many of those who re main have so conducted themselves, that, we believe, they will not be re-engaged by the masters on any terms (and, for tlis reason, they are the parties who labour hard to uphold and prolong the turn-out) ;so that the result of this, as of all such struggles, will be, that the majority of those who, at the outset, threw away the means of an honest livelihood, must seek one elsewhere, or become (with their wives and families), charge able to the parish, as their places will be filled by steady work men from neighbouring towns, who have had the good sense to keep aloof from those banes of the working classes, Trades' Unions. A letter, of which we subjoin a literal copy, has been received through the Post-office, by Mr. Jones, a master tailor, in Ducie-place. It is, no doubt, flora one of the Union jour neymen tailors of this town, threatening the apprentice, be cause he will not divulge the secrets of his master to them : " October 20, 1834. " Dere sir—We have rought this that you may tel your apprentise,to prepere for is doome for we have baught too Pistils for ,to shote him if we die next minite and we will abeidge you with telling you whot it is for, it is for doing us and himself an injury by keeping your secrets about the traid such as tacking traid out, and wold not tel us about it we just tould you, that you wold no wot we shote him for, for he is shoure of being shote as we that is go in to do it is alive if it is six mons to come we will do it, for we know with way he gose and we shall mete him for we have wached him home here bury St. Salford nothin will hindre him from it for I see that he is better ought of the world than in while the strick is."

We have this week had shown to us a sample of cotton yarn, No. 22's Water Twist, spun, as the ticket imports, by Collett and Smith, of the Hamilton Factory, Paterson, New Jersey, which was purchased in New York for account of a manufacturing house in this town, and has been laid down here at full three half-pence per pound less than it could have been bought for in this market. The thread of the yarn is (ap parently owing to an inferiority in the carding,) not so even as that of good English yarn of similar counts ; but it is quite as strong, and appears to be made from a better quality of cotton. It is only fair to observe that this yarn was probably pur chased under the influence of the serious depression which the recent crisis in their monetary and banking system produced in the United States, and that the price of 22's water twist here has of late been decidedly higher than it was for some considerable time previously. Nevertheless, after making all due allowances on this score, there will remain in the transac tion abundant ground for becoming sensible of the great importance of a timely removal of the duty on raw cotton. It may be observed, as a further motive to this step, that cotton yarn imported from the United States is subject to no duty whatever. At least the yarn we have seen, after full time for inquiry and consideration had been taken, was passed at the Liverpool custom-house without charge ; and as these are times when the imposition of a tax, obviously not intended for purposes of revenue, would be by no means popular, there would be a difficulty in subjecting it to any. The cotton manufacture has now attained so vast a magni tude that everything which concerns its well-being is of first rate national importance. It is the duty of Government, in order that the means of subsistence of a very large mass of the labouring population may not be placed in jeopardy, to watch narrowly the earliest indications of the growth of a successful rivalry with this branch of the national industry ; and to give those who are engaged in it all the facilities which it is in their power to offer, to enable them to sustain or over come competition in whatever quarter it may manifest itself; and on this ground we claim, on behalf of the spinners and manufacturers of this kingdom, the repeal of the tax on their raw material. —Manchester Guardian. THE DE CLIFFORD ESTATE. (From the Cork Evening Herald.) We believe we may-now say, that the whole of the De Cl ford Estate in and about Kinsale has passed into new hands It rarely happens that a breaking up and distribution of ancient property among new purchasers, is matter of general public satisfaction—but the fact is so, in the instance immediately under notice—which must be referred to the wise and judi cious manner in which Mr. W. W. Simpson discharged the difficult task of the sale which had devolved on him. Not only are the purchasers pleased with their bargains, but the general sale has produced a larger sum by several thousand pounds, than could reasonably have been expected. This agreeable, but very uncommon, result, to all parties, can only be ascribed to the very judicious manner in which the lots were made by Mr. Simpson —to the liberality and good feeling with which the business was begun and conducted throughout, to the confi dence which all classes had in the Agent's integrity, and his intelligence in the matter in hand. In all his excellent objects Mr. Simpson found in the resident Agent, W. Newman, Esq., a colleague in every sense congenial with himself—not to be outdone in profess►onal knowledge, ability and zeal, and as little in the feelings of a gentleman and a humane and honor ' able man. It is very pleasant to see the selfish details of busi ness where various interests, and sometimes opposing interests, actuate the parties engaged, wound up and brought to a con.; elusion of this kind. The satisfactory explanations as to title by Thomas Wing, Esq., solicitor, we had before to advert to and highly to commend. The sale of the Fermoy Estate is committed to Mr. Simp son—which is simply the consequence of the superior manner in which he executed the trust of which we have been speak ing. His reputation for lotting and valuing lands has gone so far abroad, that he is likely to have as much business in both ways in this country, as he can possibly transact. It is to be presumed that in disposing of the Fermoy Estate—which will be seen by our advertising columns produces a sum of 5,3001. per annum —by sale under the management of Mr. Simpson, the Commissioners will prefer the most promising course in a general way ;--if they do, we should conclude they will ap point this city to be the place of sale instead of Dublin. They will find this a better market than the metropolis—and a better return on the general produce of sales of the land. We feel ourselves bound to say what we have, in commendation of considerable merit. Our avocation directs us to the consider ation of all subjects which affect the public, mediately or im mediately—we care not for buyers, or sellers, or agents, as such ; but when we observe an ordinary transaction made im portant and interesting by the manner of its execution, and the good sense and intelligence which presided while in pro gress to that end, we cannot prevail on ourselves to let such things pass without a word of approbation. We mean what we say, too, as encouragement to all parties ; for we foresee that there will be before very long, some absentee estates thrown into the land market of this country. We ought not to admit acknowledging, that our own private opinion receives very considerable confirmation from the tenor of the following letter, addressed to us by an inhabitant of Kinsale, who will please to accept our thanks for the obliging expressions he makes use of towards ourselves : TO THE EDITOR OF THE EVENING HERALD. Sir,—As we consider the Evening Herald to be as much our own journal as if it were published in this our town, I use the freedom of making it the medium of the prevailing sentiments of my fellow-townsmen. I am sure you will not deny us the accommodation of your print, to express how much we feel indebted to W. W. Simpson, Esq., and to our townsman connected with him in the sale of the estates be longing to the De Clifford family, for the able and upright manner in which he has executed that great trust. He has consulted our capacity for purchase by'all his wise and judi cious arrangements, by which this property has been trans mitted to local possessors, and the interests of his employers consulted with a rare and valuable fidelity. The opulent classy are pleased, and the poor benefited. The public spirit of this ancient and loyal town has been reanimated by the re sults of his liberal conduct—and instead of divided and trou bled feelings among the inhabitants, as are but too visible in other places, opinion and speculation now run in wholesome channels, and the prosperity of our town has become a com mon principle among us, and embarks all feelings, wishes, and desires, in one general and uniform course. This is a great deal to effect, by a wise method of discharging an ordi nary description of trust—but it shows what may be dose by honest men, animated by justice and integrity, where widely extended interests are concerned ; and how much more effec tive a plain and honest way of proceeding is, than the hollow ' speculations of selfish incendiaries in political speculations, that delude, but never yet servo or satisfy anything connected with the welfare of the country. You see those matters so clearly, justly, and impartially yourself, that I have no need to dilate further upon a matter, which I conceive to consti tute an era in the regeneration of this respectable and inde pendent town. A,NIBI2N4.HABITANT OF KINSALE Kinsale, Oct. 21 STATE OF WEAVING IN PERTH.—FOr several months past there has been a full supply of plain work of va rious kinds, at the advance put on at that time. Of umbrella ginghams the same may be said ; but of late the common harnesses have given way almost completely. Most of the hands have been compelled to dismiss their draw-boys, and betake themselves to plain work.—Perthshire Advertiser. ~..,' .--.- w weex ere 4uantlty of last week 'tl lions of o f all des" i n e Whea t 'i n the ta le L!es remain per gu ar • •- is a 5 lack e d s.

The Prince was loudly cheered by the troops, with whose appearance and discipline he was highly satisfied. BERLIN, OCT. 18.—The visit of the Grand Duke of 01- denburgh is supposed to be for the purpose of some nego tiation similar to that which has ended with the cession of the principality of Leuchtenburg to the Prussian Crown by the Duke of Saxe Gotha. We have before alluded to negotiations with some Princes for the cession to Prussia of certain districts on the other side of the Rhine, at a distance from their other possessions. Prince Augustus is so far recovered as to be able to leave his room. ST. PETERSBURGH, OCT. 11.—The Emperor arrived at Kaluga on the 29th of last month.

His Majesty went yesterday to visit their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, at Bagshot Park, and afterwards returned to the Castle. The Queen did not go out. This morning Divine Service was performed in the pri vate chapel in the castle to their Majesties and household, by the Rev. Mr. Gossett. The Queen is expected to attend the service at St. George's Chapel in the evening. The Princess Augusta, who has been indisposed, is much better. The Duke of Gloucester is expected to go to town on Wednesday, to attend the investiture of the Military Order of the Bath, which the King will hold on that day at St. James's, for the purpose of bestowing the vacant ribands. • His Royal Highness will return to lgshot in the evening. The Prince Talleyrand is expected on or about the 20th of November.

They are constant visitors at the Tuileries. The Earl and Countess of Sefton returned to Stoke Farm on Saturday. On the 6th of next month the family will go to the North, on a visit to Lord and Lady Grey, at Howick. The Earl of Verulam and Viscount Grimston ar rived in Grosvenor-square on Saturday morning from Gorham bury, and in the evening the Countess and Lady Emily also arrived. _ _ The Earl of Albemarle has renewed the lease of his town residence in Berkeley-sqare, and the most extensive im provements are going on therein. The late Sir William Hamilton's fine mansion is about to be converted into a house of entertainment, to be called " The Green Park Hotel." The splendid mansion of the Marquis of Hertford, in Piccadilly, is about to be converted into chambers upon the principle of the late Duke of York's mansion, now called the Albany. Captain Berkeley and his bride have returned from their tour, and resumed the occupancy of the official resi dence of the Gallant Officer in the Admiralty. On the 23d inst. died, at his seat, Whitcomb Park, in the county of Gloucester, in the 83d year of his age, Sir William Hicks, Bart., who for nearly fifty years had been an active and upright magistrate. He is succeeded in his title by his grand-nephew, Michael Hicks Hick Beach, Esq., of Wit tiamstrip Park, in the same county. INTENSE COLD.—The thermometer, yesterday morning, at eight o'clock, stood so low as 38 degrees, only six degrees above freezing point. HAWK-TRAINING.—On Saturday morning the following printed notice was exhibited in several shop windows in Highgate --" The public are respectfully requested not to shoot or throw stones at eight hawks belonging to the Duke of St. Alban's, flying over this neighbourhood for the purpose of training." DEATH OF THE DUCHESS DOWAGER OF NEW CASTLE.—Died, on Saturday last, at eight in the morning, after four days' illness, at her,seat at Ranby Hall, near East Retford, Anna Maria, Duchess Dowager of Newcastle. Her Grace was the fifth and youngest daughter of William, second Earl of Harrington ; was born on the 31st of March, 1760, and married on the 25th of January, 1782, to Thomas, third Duke of Newcastle, who dying in 1725, her Grace remained a widow until 1810, when she was again united in marriage to Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Cranford, G. C. 8., who died in 1821._ Nottingham Review. THE LATE EARL OF DERBY.—The mortal re mains of this venerable Nobleman will be deposited on Friday next in the family vault at Ormskirk, Lancashire. The fu neral will be attended by the present Earl, his three sons ( Lord Stanley and the Hon. Captains Stanley), the Earl of Wilton, Lord Skelmersdale, the Misses Hornby, &c. The establishments of the late Earl in Grosvenor-square, of the present Peer in Upper Grosvenor-street, and of Lord Stanley in Carlton-gardens, will go into mourning on Friday next. The late Earl of Derby formerly passed six months every year in Grosvenor-square ; but in consequence of his increasing infirmities his Lordship had not been able to visit town since the summer of 1832. EARL SPENCER.—SeveraI of the London journals have during the week stated that Earl Spencer had been takes alarmingly ill, and that an express had been received by Lord Althorp requiring his' blirdship's immediate attendance at Althorp. Such reports are the very reverse of truth. Earl Spencer, we are happy to say, enjoys good bodily health, but is subject to those infirmities usually attendant on persons of his advanced age. His Lordship visited this town on Tuesday. Lord Althorp left London on Monday on a visit to his father, and is still at Althorp. Lord and Lady Lyttleton and family are also visiting Earl Spencer. We hear that it is Earl Spencer's intention to receive more company at Althorp be tween now and Christmas than his Lordship has done for some years past.—Northampton Herald. The General Steam Navigation Company's Mai' . . . packet, the Ramona, from Rotterdam, arrived Off the Custom house, at four o'clock, p.m., Oct. 26 ; also the Earl of Liver pool, at five, from the same port. Forty-nine very handsome and well bred hounds, a present from his Majesty to the Duke of Brunswick, were shipped for Hamburg on Saturday morning, by the General Steam Navigation Company's mail packet the Sir Edward Banks. THE KING'S THEATRE.—Notwithstanding the protest of M. Laporte, the assignees of Chambers closed on Saturday a treaty with Severini, Robert Rossina, and a Pari sian banker for the lesseeship of the Italian Opera for the en suing season. The four last-mentioned individuals are also, we understand, the lessees of the Opera Italien in Paris, and much advantage is expected from the junction of the two com panies. Rossini is to preside over the musical department. It is to be hoped that he will overcome his indolence, and add to his high reputation by the production of some more operas. Madame Malibran is at Milan. NEW ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—An entirely new grand opera, the composition of Mr. John Thomson, of Edinburgh, is forthcoming this evening ; it is entitled Her man, or The Broken Spear, and is founded on a period of the history of the Italian States in the early part of the seven teenth century, when the licentious armed force denominated the Condottieri kept the whole country in alarm by their atrocities. H. Phillips and Miss Healy sustain the principal characters. OLYMPIC THEATRE.—We regret to say that Ma dame Vestris was so unwell on Saturday that she was not able to perform. Handbills were put up stating that Fighting by Proxy would be substituted for The Retort Courteous, which was played on Friday evening for the second time, with the greatest possible success, to a most brilliant audience. Parties who had taken places and paid for tickets were offered others for any night, which was considered a very liberal proceeding. Very few, however, availed themselves of it. We hear that Medora Byron, a natural daughter of the noble poet, is about to emerge from obscurity, like a young eagle from its shell. She intends to wing her first flight at the drama it appears, and, taking the exile Knowles's vacated ground, the Victoria Theatre, she sent (anonymous) the MS. of a musical dramatic romance. Glossop and his managerial adjuncts, without knowing the author, immediately accepted it for representation, and we see by the playbills it is to be brought out this evening. Pabnam qui meruit ferat. MR. BULWER'S NEW ROMANCE, " THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII."—" Mr. Bulwer has achived a great triumph in this book. He has, indeed, rebuilt for us the city of Pom peii, not in its walls alone, but in the passions that once dwelt within them—not merely in a vivid portraiture of learned man ners, which change with changing time, but in that of the heart which is universal and never changes. He has breathed a life again into the City of the Dead ! Every house that is familiar to the antiquary and classicist he has made familiar to all—to the ignorant and the learned, the young and the old. The house of Diomed is peopled to our association now, and we can retrace the lives, th e little passions, the envies, and the loves of the skeletons that were found there. The house of Sallust has an inmate henceforth, who shall be an in mate of our hearts also—a kindly . and welcome one. Above all, however, the house of the tragic poet is now familiar to us, full of memorials as beautiful, intellectual, cordial and kind, as it was before peopled with stately and sublime wonders. We are intimate with its master, Glaucus. We can now, in deed, consider Pompeii as a place reanimate, rescued as it were with passions and life from the gulf of eighteen centu ries. Mr. Bulwer's book is most masterly. The scenes in it, in which the gladiators are introduced, are striking to the last degree. They are the Alsatians of Pompeii, humorous, desperate, coarse, or low, but characteristic always. The or dinary current of life is also admirably given in the Diomeds, the Clodiuses, the Sallusts, and the Julies. The graceful love and poetry of existence that live again in Glaucus and lone—the sublime and terrible, and overawing passion in the lofty Arbaces. He prepares us throughout the whole book for the fate of the devoted city. Nydia stands alone in fiction, an exquisite creation. She is blind, and in her blindness at last centres the only hope of safety for those who have inte rested us through the dark horrors of the day of the great eruption. She alone walks safely in the (to her accustomed) gloom. Her death has no precedent, and scarcely a parallel in pathos. In conclusion we must add that Mr. Bulwer has described the eruption itself with extraordinary power, render ing the sublime more impressive by details, which would seem to belong to reality alone. In the author of P o mpeii' the author of ' Pelham' has found a new and still more illustrious title." Morning Herald. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOU Considerable disappointment has been various quarters, on grounds religious, as tical, at the manner in which Lord Me commenced the disposition of his Church patronage. Since his accession to his present office, two prominent pieces of preferment have fallen—the See of Bristol, and a Canonry of Windsor. The former he has given to the tutor of Lord Althorp, of the name of Allen ; the latter to a member of some noble family of the name of Moore—both names undistinguished in the walks of theology and literature, and entirely unknown as belonging to the supporters of those liberal principles, upon the continued ascendancy of which, the Administration alone can preserve its power. Lord Grey was condemned for his conduct in this particular in too many instances ; but it must not be forgotten, that he promoted such men as Tate, Maltby, Sidney Smith, and Whateley, who were recommended to him only by their per sonal reputation and the independence of their characters. A tutor of a Chancellor of the Exche quer may, indeed, reasonably expect to derive some benefit from his pupil's advancement ; but Dr. Allen had been already amply preferred. In 1807, Lord Spencer procured for him a prebend of Westminster, which, at 1,4001. a year, must have netted him little short of 30,000/. As part of the patronage of the Dean and Chapter, he claimed the vicarage of St. Bride's, in Fleet-street, having previously obtained from Lord Spencer the valuable living . of Battersea : from these sources he cannot have received much less than from his stall. Of course he was a non-resident pluralist, without the excuse of a scanty income to jus tify his having the prebend and the country benefice before he took the town one. The case of Dr. Web- [bourne ber (the non-resident minister of St. Margarets') stated a few days ago—an individual equally undistinguished— is not a more striking instance of favouritism than Dr. Allen's. Of Mr. Moore, nothing can be said, for nothing is known. The Tories pursued this course of patronage as part of their system ; but in the Whigs, and especially under a Government that was understood at its re-adjustment to be even more liberal in its views than Lord Grey's, it is not more incon sistent and offensive than suicidal. The Church, as a body, never can be propitiated by any Ministry friendly to reform. The attempt to win them over by neglect ing the fair pretensions of the political friends of Government, is not more unprincipled than hopeless. The clergy constitute a large portion of the Conserva tive meetings, where their speeches are remarkable for the bitterness of their sentiments, and their implacable hostility towards the present possessors of office. Their activity at elections is exerted with the most fatal effects in the agricultural districts ; and wherever the liberal candidate has failed, the success of his competitor may be attributed to their influence, indefatigably exercised in his favour over the minds of a class of voters most susceptible of delusion. It is not only most unjust to pass over the few clergymen of known per sonal merits who have professed liberal opinions during the prevalence of Tory. domination, and thereby esta blished the disinterestedness of their conduct and the sincerity of their opinions ; but it is the height of im 7 policy to encourage opponents, whose rancour never will be diminished, until they find they can only in dulge it at the expense of all their chances of profes sional promotion. It is stated that the new Bishop will generally be found in the ranks of opposition. Away with the cant of disregarding political conside rations in these appointments. As long as the laW permits Bishops to have a voice in Parliament, so long must their political principles be important; and if Mi nisters are in earnest in their professions of an anxious desire to carry certain measures that are nbt pala table in the House of Lords, as we believe them to be, they should carefully abstain from adding to the formidable force that is already there arrayed against them. It is to 'be hoped Lord Mel bourne will give no further occasion for the dissatis faction that has been felt on this head ; and that the Lord Chancellor, whose opportunities are so frequent, will confound his slanderers by making a selection for his church patronage among those only who are as well known by the profession of those political principles, which carried himself upon the full tide of popular favour into place, as by the claims they individually possess on the high grounds of their fitness for advance ment. It would be idle to express any hope of a ge neral amendment in the disposition of episcopal patro nage. At this critical conjuncture, when the eves of the public are scrutinizing every act of the Bishops, Dr. Van Mildert gives one of the golden prebends of Durham (vacated by the event that made void the see of Bristol)—that should be sacredly reserved as the reward of the highest merit—to an obscure person of the name of Douglass, now heard of for the first time ; but the Bishop is a leading Conservative, and has a right to do what lie will with his own.—Mornino• Chronicle. The Dutch papers to the date of Saturday contain 'ample reports of the proceedings on opening the Ses sion of the States-General upon Monday lait, the Speech of the King of the Netherlands on that occa sion, and the Address of the - Minister of Finance on presenting - the Budgets for 1835 on the Thursday fol lowing. The announcement which we have just made would insure to the two discourses now presented in our Journal all the attention which their intrinsic im portance merits, and any remarks which we feel bound to make on the subject would almost appear as intru sive, were it not for the unavoidable reflections which must strike every observer on a perusal of the interest ing statements of the Monarclr and the 'Minister. The Revolution of September, 1830, in Brussels, as a mimic representation of the " three glorious days" of July, has now reached four years since the period of its breaking out, and we find that in Belgium an ancient Nobility, after the occurrences of the late riots, has either left the country in disgust, or is still more determined not to recognize the mushroom Royalty of a revolutionary origin. Trade has dwin dled to its last extreme of depression, for the emigrants who sought the towns of Belgium under. the paternal sway of the House of Orange as places of residence, having having ascertained the amount of protection to be derived from the new order of things, have prudently sought other asylums for the prosecution of the indus try and economy. Manufactures in utter decay, and commerce completely paralyZed, sufficiently indicate how far an independent nation can be created from such hollow materials, as those which have placed in the map of Europe a nation by name, but which would be better described as an appendage to France. How different is the situation and condition of the brave Netherlanders, the worthy descendants of the indus trious- men who snatched Holland from the sea. The encroachments of the ocean are guarded against by dikes, the preservation of which forms so heavy an item in the annual expenditure of the country. But if the insidious advances of the waters are thus carefully attended to, there is no neglect evinced' to meet the approaches of " liberality."
