COURT CIRCULAR. The Marquis of Lansdowne arrived in town yesterday after noon from Paris. The Noble Marquis visited Viscount Mel bourne at the Treasury, and had a long interview with his Lordship. The Marquis afterwards visited Mr. Secretary Rice at the Colonial-office. Accounts were received in town yesterday morning of the decease of Earl Spencer, at Althorp-park, Northamptonshire. Intelligence of the event was immediately communicated to all the Cabinet Ministers. Viscount Altborp (now Earl Spencer) was at Althorp-park when the melancholy event took place. Capt. Ross transacted business yesterday at the Admiralty. The Bishop of Barbadoes and Colonel Doyle ( Secretary to the Marquis of Sligo, Governor of Jamaica), had interviews yesterday with Mr. Secretary Rice. Mr. Backhouse (Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs), who left town for Lancashire shortly after his late accident, with a view to the re-establishment of bis health, has unfortunately had a relapse, attended with fever, by which he is prevented for the present from returning to his duties at the Foreign-office. BRIGHTON, Nov. 11. Their Majesties and their royal relatives continue in the en joyment of good health. After luncheon yesterday his Majesty, accompanied by his daughter, Lady Mary Fox, took a carriage drive to Shoreham and back to the palace. His Majesty did not leave the palace owing to the inauspi cious state of the weather. The royal dinner party last evening included the Princess Augusta, Prince George, the Duke of Norfolk, Marchioness and Ladies Cornwallis, Earl and Countess of Sheffield, Earl and Countess of Brownlow, Earl and Countess of Chichester, Earl Mount Edgecumbe, Earl and Countess of Errol, Sir J. Woolmore, Colonel and Lady Mary Fox, Sir Philip and Lady Sophia Sidney, Captain and the Hon. Mrs. Pechell, Miss D'Este, Sir A. Barnard, Hon. Miss Eden, Sir H. Turner, and the Rev. Mr. Wood. At half-past eight o'clock yesterday evening the company began to assemble at the palace ; they were received by the Equery in Waiting and Sir A. Barnard, and conducted to the drawing-room, which was most brilliantly lighted up for the occasion. A few minutes after nine their Majesties, the Princess Augusta, and Prince George entered the drawing room, attended by the Earl and Countess of Brownlow ( Lord and Lady in Waiting), Hon. Miss Eden (Maid of Honour to the Queen), Earl and Countess of Errol, Earl Mount Edge. cumbe, and most of the royal suite. The company rose to receive them. Their Majesties bowed to their guests, then walked round the room, and, after a short period, took their seats. Refreshments, including every delicacy of the season, were laid out in the banqueting-room, of which the company partook. At twelve o'clock their Majesties and relatives re tired, and at a quarter to two the company had finally left. Her Majesty's band was stationed in a room adjoining the state apartments, and played some select pieces of music. The band of the Ist Royal Dragoons was also present, and added much to the hilarity of the entertainment. The weather this morning is exceedingly fine, and, in conse quence, the town presents a gay and animated appearance, the drives and promenades being crowded with the haut ton. The Duke of Norfolk had an audience of the King yesterday. His Grace came from town, where he had arrived a few days ago from his seat in Suffolk. Lord Cranstoun, who has lately been appointed attaché to the English embassy at Paris, is now here, and had the honour of spending last evening at the palace. The Noble Lord will leave in a few days for the French capital. The Earl and Countess Cowper are daily expected here fcr the season. Lady Clare and her daughter, Lady Isabella Fitz gibbon, have arrived. Sir William Sims is also here. . - The Duke and Duchess of St. Albans will arrive by the end of the week.

THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—SUCII has been the rapidity with which the temporary fitting up of the parliamentary buildings has been carried on, that already the roofs of both the House of Lords and that of the Commons have been completely formed and covered over with boarding. The slating of the House of Lords commenced on Saturday, and was completed yesterday, and by noon the plumbers were able to lay down the usual protecting sheet of lead along tke ridge of the roof. The roof thrown over St. Stephen's Cha pel is considerably lower than the former one, scarcely reach ing above the top of the large gothic window. The turrets and the space above the window have been restored. Baron Talleyrand, French Minister at Hamburg, has been recalled—Courier de Hamburg.

ORDNANCE SURVEY OF IRELAND.—The survey of the county Lei: rim will be commenced in the ensuing sum mer, when the elevation of the lakes (from which the Shannon takes its rise) in that county will be accurately measured; and in the course of this survey levels of this river, along its whole course, will be minutely laid down in the maps, which will be hereafter of the greatest use in improving the extensive inland navigation of this stream, of which hitherto so little advantage has been taken. A serous cause of difference exists between the Al gerines and the French authorities. These insist, according to their law and practice, to visit the bodies of the dead, pre vious t o inhumation. The Arabs consent, though reluctantly, to have the bodies of males booked by the medical officers, but they will not hear of the remains of women being so treated. —French Paper. A physician attending a lady several times, had re ceived a couple of guineas each visit; at last, when he was taking his departure for the last time, she gave him but one, at which he was surprised, and looking on the floor, as if in search of something, she asked him what he looked for ? " I believe, Madam," said he, " I have dropped a guinea."— " No, Sir," replied the lady, " it is I that have dropped it." Ten stocks of bees now standing in Mr. Nutt's apiary at Moulton Chapel, near Spalding, have produced 80Slbs. of honey in the present season ; and hives averaging similar quantities may also be seen in an apiary at Gedney.

Mackenzie to be Second Captain, vice Victor. Second Lieut. H. E. Allen to be First Lieut3nant, vice Maeken. zie. Oct. 26, 1834. Yesterday there was a very full attendance of the mer chants and others connected with the tea trade in the large rooms in 'Change-alley, the first public sale of teas imported direct from Canton under the free trade system for home consumption having been announced to take place. The teas were imported in the Charlotte, Captain Smith, from Canton, and formed part of the first consignment to this country on private account since the abolition of the mono poly of the East India Company. The sale was under the management of Messrs. Thomson and Co. Mr. THOMSON, on ascending the rostrum, said there were some points to which he wished to draw the attention of the trade before this the first sale of teas direct from China, and imported under the new system, was com menced. He considered that it was highly important that the trade should commence these sales upon the best terms, and he, therefore, in the first instance wished to state that as allowing discounts for money paid before the prompt day had been found inconvenient, the present teas were intended to be offered to the trade without any allowance as dis counts. A matter of much greater importance, he consi dered, was the quality of the teas imported under the new system. The teas now to be offered were a consignment by merchants at Canton, and therefore he had it not in his power to make any further allowances than those usually granted by the East India Company, as the teas were ex ported without the knowledge that any such allowances as those now required would be demanded. Mr. COUSENS said he wished to know in what respect the plan of allowing discounts had been found incorrect. Mr. THOMSON stated that he had been informed by parties largely engaged in the tea trade that the plan was inconvenient. Mr. SANDERSON said it was important that every exer tion should be used to protect the trade of the port of Lon don. At Liverpool it was intended to allow discounts ; and, unless the same concessions were made here, the trade of London would be materially lessened. Mr. TRAVERS said it would be the interest of the sellers as well as of the buyers to allow interest. le, however, thought that it was of more importance to consult the ge neral interests of the trade. Mr. NicHoLsoN did not see that any very serious incon venience would arise in allowing the discounts. He thought that the trade ought to follow as far as possible the plan of the East India Company.—(Cries of " No, no.") The Company were allowed interest. The country trade would, of course, participate in the advantages that would arise by the allowance of discounts. The trade could not, however, refuse the right of the merchant to put up his goods on whatever terms he might think proper. Mr. Fa Y said the question was one of very considerable importance to the port of London. It was intended to make the allowance at Liverpool ; and, as the midland counties were - already somewhat indifferent whether they would take their supplies from London or Liverpool, no im pediments ought to be placed in the port of London to the trade.---( Hear.) He could state that the largest importers of tea from Canton had determined to allow discounts. Mr. TRAVERS considered it would be politic on the part of the parties interested in the teas to make the allowance. The port of London ought to set an example which he had no doubt would be followed in other places. Mr. SANDERSON said he could state that the consignees of the other teas by the Charlotte would allow discount at the rate of four per cent. Mr. THomsoN said his principals, who were in the room, bad desired him to state that they were ready to make the concession, but in doing so they were desirous not to be considered as establishing a precedent.--( Hear.) They were anxious to leave the trade to settle the question. As to the intentions of parties at Liverpool or any of the other out ports, he felt convinced that if an example was set by the port of London, it would be followed. The sale then proceeded with animation until a few lots were offered as " Souchongs," and a question was asked of the selling broker what duty they would pay ? Mr. THOMSON replied that the 3s. duty would be im pused. He also felt it his duty to state that he had ob tained information that it was intended in future that all teas partaking of the Souchong flavour should be subjected to the high duty of 3s. per lb. This statement created a considerable sensation in the Sale Room. After some pause, Mr. Twzraso inquired who was to decide what teas partook of the Souchong flavour ? Mr. THoMsoN said the Government officers. Mr. TWINING appealed to the room whether this could be submitted to. What was to becoma of the great bulk of fine teas imported by the East India Comp:lny,?.The plan would hold out an inducement to the importaiizqi of low teas. The measure was fraught with the most serious c'oll - to the trade, as well as to the revenue.—(Hear.) Mr. TRAVERS fully concurred in what had fallen from Mr. Fry and Mr. Twining, and much regretted that the trade had been-plueed in such a painful situation: The sale then proceeded. The quantities offered were as follow :-100 chests of Bohea, 99 chests of Congou, 249 chests of Campoi, 19 chests of Souchong, 21.5 chests of Caper, 200 chests of Twankay, and 60 chests of Gun powder. Boheas realized Is. 11 d. to 18.1.11 d. per pound ; Congou, 2s. lid. ; Campoi, Is. 9d. ; Souchong, 2s. Id. ; Caper, 101 d. ; Twankay, 2s. lid. ; and Gunpowder, 45.4 d. and 6s. per pound. The teas were fair in quality, and realized full market price. THE EAST INDIA TRADE. Yesterday a numerous meeting of the merchants, brokers, and others, connected with the East India trade, assembled at the East India House, for the purpose of proceeding with the sales of saltpetre declared by the East India Com p*, and by the Committee of East India Merchants. The attendance was the more numerous in consequence of an expectation that was entertained that discussions would arise as to the mode of conducting transactions in East India produce, in order to give security to the members of the trade who are buyers ; the adoption of a safe system being considered essential for all parties interested in the trade. The East India Company's declaration consisted of 500 tons of saltpetre, and was chiefly sold at from 255. 6d. to 265. per cwt., the prices obtained varying between 2 to 6 per cent. lower than ,the quotations reali ze d a t th e last quarterly sale. The Committee of East India Merchants had declared for sale 2,490 bags of saltpetre, to, follow the East India Company's goods. Before the private sale commenced, however, a most animated discussion arose relative to the responsibility which ought to exist for the completion of contracts entered into at the sales of East India produce on the system that had been adopted to succeed the sales by the East India Company, and which will shortly wholly cease, pursuant to the India Bill passed last Session, by which the Company was deprived of its commercial privileges and character. _ _ Mr. KUM' wished to be informed by the Committee of East India Merchants as to the extent of the responsibility of buyers and sellers under the terms proposed for the sale of East India produce. No answer having been given by the Registrar, Mr. COOKE, of the firm of Truman and Cooke, said it was evidently the desire of the trade to know upon whom the responsibility rested, and he would ask if the Registrar had not some information upon this point ? Mr. JOHNSON, the Registrar, said he had a legal opinion upon the subject, which, if the trade wished, he would read. • Mr. COOKE said, unless the case was also read it was of little use to read the opinion. As a great change was about being made in the mode in which public sales have hitherto been conducted in the port of London, and as it was of the utmost importance that everything should be done to give stability and confidence to that trade, it was most essential to know the amount of responsibility which existed on the completion of the public transactions in pro duce. He applied his question to sales generally under the proposed change ; but with regard to saltpetre he "zould suppose a case. Saltpetre was now only worth about 255. Per cwt., but should war arise it would advance to 355. In that case, would the managing broker, under the proposed terms of sale, be bound to deliver the goods ? If the weight notes were not delivered within three days after the sale, as proposed, would the owner of the goods be enabled, in consequence of the non-delivery of the weight-notes, to take advantage of the rise in the market, and refuse to deliver the goods ? He contended, that a managing broker under the new system was not bound to deliver goods under such circumstances. Mr. JOHNSON said the legal opinion he had received did not state th a t t h e managing broker would be so bound. Mr. COOKE said that was the point he wished to arrive at. The public, then, would not be protected under the new system. Here the Committee of East India Mer chants refused to take that responsibility, which in other cases devolved upon the selling broker. If the plan adopt ed by the Committee of East India Merchants for con ducting the sales of produce was adhered to, the greatest in jury would be the result to the trade of the port of London. Mr. JOHNSON, in reply to a question, was understood to state that the managing broker in the first instance was considered as being held responsible for the sale of goods ; but if a difference arose then, a reference would be made to the principal or owner of the goods. Mr. FIRMAN considered that importers of goods offered for sale under the new system, were responsible to the buyers for a proper delivery, and not the managing broker. Mr. COOKE said the stand now made was upon principle, aril for the sake of protecting the trade generally. Mr. CORRIE considered the legal responsibility for the proper delivery of goods was imposed upon the auctiloneers, and not upon the managing brokers. Mr. ORn expressed a similar opinion.—(Hear.) Mr. CARROL thought at least that the responsible varties erould be stated in the conditions of sale. Mr. WILKINSON (a managing broker for goods c .ow of fered) said he was placed in a delicate situation. He had been entrusted with the management of goods for sale, and he did not see how he could withdraw them. As to the responsibility, the trade would be guided by the custom. After some further discussion Mr. FIRMAN withdrew the saltpetre entrusted to his management for s ale. Mr. HOWARD (of the firm of Tucker and Co.) expressed a hope that every means would be resorted to in order to crush the attempt of the St. Katharine Dock Company to obtain advantages which would be prejudicial to the brokers of the port of London, and ultimately to trade. The whole of this proceeding was, he contended, the work of the St. K a tharine's Dock Company. Who was it, he would ask, put their on the flaw in the East India Company's Charter respecting private sales but the St. Katharine's Dock Company ? What. was this done for ? Not, most certainly, for the interests of th public, but in order to en able that Company to raise up a monc: , oly more odious and more disastrous to the public than any otnzr- He trusted that the trade would be enabled to defeat the designs of the St. Katharine's Dock Company.—( Hear.) Further attempts were made to proceed with the sale, but there were no bidders, and the whole of the saltpetre declared was withdrawn amid much cheering. The sale was then adjourned.

CARICATURA.—Dantau, who has been termed the Scarron of plaster-of- Paris and the Sterne of sculpture, has lately been among us " taking notes," and if not to " prent 'em," to imprint them upon the minds of all the loungers of the French capital ! The House of Commons and the House of Lords from the hand of Dantan ! • Lords Grey and Eldon, O'Connell and Cobbett ; we scarcely dare hint at all he has given to the contemplation of the flaneurs of the Parisian Exchange.— Court Journal. EXPORTATION OF ICE.—A cargo of ice, forming part of the surplus stock of the salmon fishers from last year, is now being shipped here, as we are informed, for the King of the French. The moderate price which his French Ma jesty is, we understand, to give for this cargo, is two guineas per ton, besides paying 100/. for freight to Havre. The sal mon fishers must be very confident of a supply this winter when they thus part with their stock.—Aberdeen Herald. Mr, Turner, late of the firm of Trumpherey and Turner, wholesale grocers, of Horsham, recently invited a large party of friends to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of his wedding day ; a few days after he was seized with a fit, in which he expired, on the 29th ult., in the 84th year of his age. A WELSH PATRIARCH.—There is now residing , in the hamlet of Gwynfe, in the parish of Llangadock, a per son of the name of Thomas Rees William Bowen, once hold ing a farm, and now in his 108th year, who walks to and from the Episcopal Chapel every Sabbath, in good health, and in full recollection of past events.—Carmarthen Journal. AN INFIDEL.—A Florentine Ambassador, just before the restoration of Charles 11., is said to have written to his Court, " Some say the Protector is dead, others that he is not ; for my part I believe neither the one nor the other." STEAM NAVlGATlON.—Notwithstanding the ex traordinary celerity and accommodation obtained by steam navigation and railways, we have this week to record another feat which serves to prove that dispatch may be (indeed is already) obtained, which is such as to exceed all previous cal culation. That fine steam vessel, the Majestic, left the Tees on Thursday afternoon, at four o'clock, arrived in London on Saturday, discharged her large and valuable cargo, took in another cargo, and arrived again in the Tees on Monday, about one o'clock ; thus accomplishing both passages, a dis tance of about 700 miles in little more than 90 hours, includ ing ten hours whilst at anchor waiting for daylight in the upward passage. In about one hour after landing, several of the passengers were conveyed sixteen miles by the railway train to Darlington, and meeting the coach, were safely at Newcastle by 8 o'clock the same night.—Newcastle Journal. On Sunday evening last, as Phillip Quinlin, of Knockfelough, parish of Sollihead, and barony of Clanwilliam, a respectable farmer, and a most upright and well-conducted man, was returning to his house, he was waylaid and beaten in such an inhuman and ferocious manner with stones, that his mangled and mutilated body was left on the road side without the least symptom of animation being apparent.

FACTORY LABOUR.--We are glad to record a fact which reflects great honour on one of the principal houses of Leeds. Messrs. Hives and Atkinsons, flax-spinners, have just made an arrangement, the effect of which will be to give their numerous work-people three hours a week. They pay for sixty-nine hours, and they grant three hours of that, which will be carried to the account of holidays and breakage. The re sult is, that while sixty-nine hours are paid for, sixty-six are only worked; in other words, holidays and breakages are not deducted for according to past custom. The expense to the firm will amount to a larger sum than many persons may feel disposed to believe; so much, we understand, as 1,0001. a-year. —Leeds Paper. PARTRIDGE SHOOTI NG.—On Wednesday, at noon, as Mr. Williams, woollen-draper, Lord_ , treet, was sitting in a back room, he was much surprised at obseving a fine par tridge in the yard, busily engaged in picking zip some corn which happened to be about. He went for his gun, loaded it, gently raised up the window, and shot the bird on ;he spot. It is supposed that the partridge must have been blt.swn over, during the late severe gales, from the Cheshire side; aid that, tamed by hunger, it ventured among the crowded anti busy haunts of men.—Liverpool Albion. NEW MATERIAL FOR ROPES.—TOULON, OcY 26.—A Superior Commission was present yesterday at a series of trials made here to ascertain the comparative strength of cables made of hemp and of aloe from Algiers. These trials all turned to the advantage of aloe. Of cables of equal size, that made of aloe raised a weight of 2,000 killogrammes, that made of hemp a weight of only 400 killog,rammes.— National. Yesterday morning, between 11 and 12 o'clock, a gentleman named M'ellant, who resides in Charles-street, Berkeley-square, was proceeding on horseback along the Ken sington road, and when near to Knightsbridge the horse sud denly stumbled, and came down with great violence. throwing its rider off with much force into the road. Mr. Mellant fell on his head, and struck his forehead a very heavy blow. On being taken up he was found to be in a state of insensibility, bleeding profusely from the mouth and ears. He was directly conveyed to his own residence, and on a surgical examination of the injuries he had sustained, his skull was found to be ex tensively and dangerously fractured. His life is at present considered in great jeopardy. READERS.—In a lecture delivered upwards of twenty years ago, at some hall in Fetter-lane, Coleridge di vided readers into four classes. The first he compared to an hour-glass, their reading being as the sand ; it runs in and it runs out, and leaves not a vestige behind. A second class, he•said, resembled a sponge, which imbibes everything and returns it in nearly the same state, only a little dirtier. A third class he likened to a jelly-bag, which allows all that is pure to pass away, and retains only the refuse and the dregs. The fourth class, of which he trusted there were many among his auditors, he compared to the slaves in the diamond-mines of Golconda, who, casting aside all that is worthless, pre served only the pure gem. FIRE.-This morning, about five o'clock, the ware houses of Messrs. Izons and Co., extensive manufacturers of iron pots, &c., College-hill, near Southwark Bridge, were discovered to be on fire. Such was the rapidity of the flames, that they communicated with the adjoining prZ•lcases of Messrs. Blythe and Winkfield, at the corner o f m a ;,lfenlane, and the interior of the former was one come plete sheet Of fire in less than half an hour. There were nine engines on the sp:,t in r full play, so that the fire was arreste 1 in its progress, and' weedily subdued. Great anxiety was excited lest some extenve oil, paper, and cotton ware houses in the immediate vicinity' should catch fire ; because, if they had, the mischief would have bc.•?n dreadful. The upper stories of the premises which are destroyed were filled with hops, which, with every commodity capable of ignition, were speedily consumed. It is stated that the premises ws9re insured. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.-About a quarter before six o'clock on Saturday night, as one of the clerks of the Branch Bank of England in Queen -street, Norwich, was going from the bank of Messrs. Gurney and Co. to the joint stock bank, in Surrey-street, in crossing the Castle-ditches, ha was met by two persons unknown, dressed like some of the London " swell-mob ;" by one of whom he was knocked down by a severe blow on the face. Both then fell upon him and rifled his pockets, 'from which they took checks on the Nor folk and Norwich joint-stock banking company, to the follow ing amount, and drawn by the following persons :-Barnes, 10/. Bs. ; J. Rudd's executors, 101. Bs. 3d. ; S. Batley, 91. 18s, ; G. Read, 781. 15s. 10d ; W. J. Bayes, 15/. ss. ; G. Murrell, 52/. ; W. Warren, 71/. 19s. 6d. ; J. Carman, 281. 3s. 4d. ; T.

Notes of the same bank, amounting to 740/. ; and also four five-pound notes of the Yarmouth bank of Lacon and Co. ; and 158 light sovereigns ; altogether amounting to 1,431/. 18s. 7d. Every exertion has been made to discover the parties concerned in the robbery, but hitherto without suc cess. Sheriffs' officers were immediately on the look-out for strangers, and two were dispatched for London. The par ment of all tho checks and notes was immediately stopped, and one hundret' pouuds' reward offered for the conviction of the offenders. They are supposed to be Londoners, but no clue wli4tcvcr is &tt present obtained. OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, Nov. 10, Corps of Royal Engineers. Second Captain C.

The Number opens with de tails of the action of the 13th December, 1813, in front of Bayonne, sustained by the right corps of the Allied Army, under Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland Hill, accompanied by an engraved sketch of the ground. This is followed by an able article on Colonies and Colonization. The next paper is the commencement of an intended series, under the title of " Traditions of the American War of Independence." It is from the pen of the late gallant General Samuel Graham, Lieutenant Governor of Stirling Castle, and cannot be read but with intense—with breathless interest. It forms indeed one important chapter of the history of that most important contest which terminated in the separation of America from the parent state. Duc Charles of Anhalt has espoused a Princess of Schleswig-Holstein. GRAND BALL IN AID OF TIIE POLISH RE- F uGEEs.—We have great satisfaction in announcing that ad vantage is about to be taken of the splendid fittings up in Guildhall, to give a grand ball in aid of the fund for the benefit of the Polish refugees. The gentlemen with whom the idea originated have exerted themselves with great zeal to carry their object into effect. Application has already been made to the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, who have, in the handsomest manner, granted the use of the hall and fittings ; and a very numerous meeting of the friends of the proposed measure has been summoned to meet at Guildhall TL IS DAY, At twelve o'clock, to form a committee to make the necessary arrange' ments. Deeply commiserating the sufferings of these unhappy exiles from their native land, we trust that such an appeal to British humanity will not be made in vain. Many of the sufferers are persons of the highest distinction in their own country, and of cultivated minds and feelings of refinement, which, by enabling them to appreciate the whole extent of the evils which now desolate their ill-fated country, must add in creased poignancy to the bitterness of poverty and want. We sincerely trust that the proposed ball will be patronized as it deserves ; being, at the same time, well persuaded that the scene selected for the festive display wiil afford to all who may mingle in it a gratification fully equal to the expense they may incur, in addition to the more elevated pleasure, arising from the consciousness of having promoted one o f the most meri torious objects, on behalf of which the aid of public charity can at this time be invoked, / Afr SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. As a Chancellor of the Exchequer must, of ne cessity, be a Member of *at House of the Le gislature which holds the purse-strings of the nation, and as the financier, who was Lord Ai torp by courtesy, is now Earl Spencer of right, a new Chancellor of the Exchequer and leader of the House of Commons must be sought for among the Whig politicians, or must be supplied, like the Chief Commissioner of the Malthusian pauper go vernment, from the ranks of their Tory adversaries. Whoever may be chosen to fill the high and important office, the public have the consolation to know that if a better financier than the late Lord Althorp be not selected, it will, at all events, be impossible to find a worse. His first budget raised a universal uproar of resistance. The subsequent ones were more absurd than mischievous. The " tile and taxed-cart" budget, and that which " retrieved the distresses of the agri cultural interests," by giving relief from taxation to sheOerds' dogs, will not soon be forgotten. They will be memorable, like the protocols of Lord Palmerston, for, Jike those diplomatic productions of the genius of the settler of the unsettled Belgic question, they are sacred to the ridicule which attends upon acts of high pretension that are laboriously abor tive. In his character of leader of the House of Commons, however, his Lordship was more successful than in that of a Minister of Finance. Indeed a more successful leader has not appeared in our time within the walls of Parliament. If the Ministry feel his loss at all it will be in that capacity. So great was his in fluence that we doubt if Lord Lonsdale f in the high and palmy days of Toryism, could be better obeyed by his 10 or 11 nominees than Lord Althorp was by the reformed House of Commons. When the representa tives of the people did for a moment become restive and disobey him, their repentance was sudden—their repa ration full and effectual. Their conduct with regard to the malt tax—the Factory Children Bill, and some other important questions, exemplified their crime and their contrition ; while their votes on the pension list —the Septennial Act—military flogging—the as sessed taxes—impressment of seamen, and other " re cognised „grievances," which had been the objects of Whig and Reform denunciation for many years, proved that the bland and beseeching appeals of the purse bearer of the nation were stronger than the obligation of electioneering promises, and more facinating than the charm of principle. Nor did this implicit obedi ence arise solely from the servility of the present House of Commons, though that has a good deal to do with the matter. His intellect was level to that of the House iu general—kindred spirits have congenial tastes, and, as far as difference of station will allow, a mutual admiration. The present House of Com mons is so deficient in commanding talent—in political wise wn—in reach of mind and extent of knowledge, that it is no wonder it venerated a leader in whose capacity it saw its own intellectual image reflected ; for him, whether insisting upon the right of splendid pau pers to national charity, or cutting off the relief of the humbler poor, reformers were ready to vote " black was white," and his departure to the Upper House must render them perfectly inconsolable.—Morning Herald. Cardinal Mazarin has left to posterity an unrivalled character for sagacity and finesse. Although a stran ger in the kingdom of France, without a friend beyond those whom he fed, despised by its nobility, tolerated, yet not loved, by its middle classes, lampooned by the wits, and hooted by the populace, Mazarin still con tinued to hold fast by the throne. From this station, with eye ever directed towards the political horizon, he observed each forming cloud and rising storm. Such was the singular address of the statesman, that although parties were continually forming to force power from his hands, he ever contrived by wiles to get amongst them, to mar their plot by creating mutual dis sensions, and then, having gulled each, shook them loose again, when they had become harmless from hav ing lost in the contact all character for consistency and politicalworth. The French historian of the nineteenth century will have a story to tell, and a character to il lustrate, which displayed even more than Mazarin's address, without showing the weakness of Mazarin's vices. Let us cast a short retrospect on the state of things in France. A formidable party, gathering toge ther from all sides, threatened to unite in one formida ble band of opposition against the will of the Govern ment. There was Dupin, the great legist and orator, the chosen President of the Chamber, and the soul of its majority, insisting with emphasis for economy and Legality,denouncing Soult, his ex p en dit ure , an d hi s 409,000 soldiers, and menacing citizen-royalty in its most vulnerable point—the purse. There was Gerard, the conqueror of Antwerp, the soldier of Napoleon's fields, who, contented with seeing the foes of Govern ment lie vanquished, insisted on pardoning instead of continuing to trample on the conquered. He and Dupin understood each other. Then there was a knot of high personages in the Upper Chamber, who were as power ful there as M. Dupin in the Lower. There were others whom we have not room nor need to enumerate. They might have terrified, or forced from its un bending line a less determined will. They might have triumphed over a less wily one. The first attack was directed against the knot of personages so puis sant in the Chamber of Peers. There was an insur- 1 73 ction of artisans and vagabonds. It was swept from t h e streets by grape-shot, and quenched in blood. But it's dregs, the least guilty and most wretched, were packed up, and dispatched to the address of the Chamber of . Peers, to examine and judge in their case. It was amub - lug . to see how the real nobles pah'd and put their kercefs to their noses at such dirty work being given then. But they could not refuse. A committee of prosecution was formed, a president ap pointed. Arrests, domiciliary visits, inquisitorial acts, followed ; and, lo I the noble Chamber and its leaders had drawn upon them, .ere a week had elapsed, all the mingled odium of a star-chamber and a police office. As soon as they perceived the pit into which the Chamber had I llen, the leaders strove to extricate themselves by proposing an amnesty, which would not only have relieved them from trouble, but unpopularity. The mouth of one was instantly stopped by an eminent place ; that of another by a promise, and so on. The next desirable point was that Gerard should shake off Dupin, mid that their political friendship should be dissolved. Such an union in the Cabinet would have given the law to Royalty; or, in opposition, might have shaken any Minister. By liberal hints and words, Gerard was led to hope for the possibility of a large and liberal Administration. He accordingly spoke with the great parliamentary leaders—with Barrot and others far be yond the limits of the Tiers-Parti. The circum stance was instantly conveyed to the ears of M. Du. pin, the most jealous, susceptible, and, at the same time, least suspecting of men. The President forth with set his foot in the diligence, rolled up to the capital, and did not rest until he obtained an in terview with Royalty, when he uttered what was expected of him—a disapprobation and disavowal of Gerard. Nothing could have occurred more opportune. The obsequious portion of the Mi nistry was giving way before the moral force of Gerard. Dupin 's protest came to give them strength. Instead, however, of Gerard's yield ing, when he felt himself alone, and resuming the docile part expected of him, he remained firm, and resigned. The incipient and forming limbs of Oppo sition having thus been severed by an adroitly-given blow, the remainder of the obsequious Cabinet pro to complete itself. They were allowed to do this in perfect liberty, for who could they choose, or who would consent to be their Chief, save one as obsequious as they ? However, there were difficulties —there were quarrels—not, indeed, statesman-like dif ferences, but the rivalry of convent-boarders. The twin orators of the Ministry were jealous of each other. One would not stoop to his neighbour, nor suffer his elevation. It was , therefore , requisite to look abroad into the hi g h-wa y s of public life to find somemock wranglers.Presidenthonest T p i e s y did s and er a moderator b e t ween t h e two -b y , who would consent to b e a look out ; but no one could be found to accept the task. No one would associate politically with the squad —none would lead them. This was unexpected and mortifying. Had the extreme difficulty of replacing Gerard been fore seen, he would have been allowed to reman : even Persil would have.been ,sacrificed to. him: But.
