entiments of their good conduct, European and Native, to his Excellency the Commander in Chief.—l have, &c. P. LINDE SA Y, Colonel, Commanding Coorg Field Force. Head-quarters, Camp, Madkerry, April 6, 1834. To the Chief Secretary to Government, Fort St. George. Sir,—With reference to my letter of the 15th instant, No. 30, I have now the honour, by order of the Commander in -Chief, to forward, for submission to Government, Lieute nant-Colonial G. M. Steuart's report of the operations of the eastern column of the Coorg Field Force, with an additional return of wounded.—l have the honour to be, &c.,_ T. H. S. CONWAY, Adjutant-General of the Army, Head-quarters, Adjutant-General's Office, Camp, Bangalore, April 16, 1834. To the Adjutant-General of the Army, Fort St George. Sir,—l have the honour to transmit copy of the report of the operations of the second division of the eastern column Coorg Field Force, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Steuart, which I request may be submitted to his Excellency the Commander in Chief. I have, &c., P. LINDE SA Y, Colonel, Commanding Coorg Field Force. Head-quarters, Camp, near Madkerry, April 13, 1834. To the Assistant Adjutant-General of the Coorg Field Force. Sir,—ln compliance with the instructions conveyed in your letter of the 6th instant, I proceed to report to you the opera tions of the column under my command ; and beg leave, in the first place, to state in explanation, that my only reason for not having done so earlier, arose from my having been so constantly employed from the morning of the 2d until the evening of the sth, that I imagined, that so long as the Brigadier commanding was put in possession of all occur rences, it would be immaterial through what' department my letter was forwarded. In obedience to instructions, I marched from Periapatam on the morning of the 2d, and about ten o'clock reached the Carwery, and found that the enemy were considerable force on the opposite bank. I immediately ordered up a gun, and in the meantime a fire had opened across the river between the enemy and the Rifle Company of the 36th. Regiment, which lay on the hither bank of the river. I theddirected two com panies to form on the left, to cross the rive?, and outflank the enemy on that side, whilst another party took them on the right flank. There were several shots fired from the gun with admirable execution, and the enemy quitted this strong barrier as our men reached the opposite tank. Their number probably amounted to about 300 men. They fled in every direction, leaving about 10 of their number dead on the field. The bed of the river, even at the ford, being so rocky and difficult of passage for guns, &c., I was obliged to encamp in the vicinity of the river, and the enemy, at periods, fired on us from the woods, without however doing any mischief ; ex cept harassing the troops, whom I felt necessitated, in conse quence, to order to sleep on their arms. I wes next day prevented breaking up my camp, until after mid-day, in consequence of the commissariat supplies not having been brought over the river the evening before, a de lay which I was quite unprepared for, as no report of the cir cumstance has been made to me by the overseer in charge un til the moment I was about to order the assembly. •• The guides furnished to the column having made off the day before I quit ted my encampment much perplexed me as to the route to be pursued. After marching about two miles a fire was opened upon the advanced guard from a high stockade,. but at such a dis tance as to prevent their doing any mischief, only a few' spent balls reaching the men at the head of the column. A. gun was brought up and served with the usual precision by Lieutenant Montgomery, whilst a party was detached from each flank to carry the break-work and barriers. The success of the manoeuvre was as complete as I could have desired ; the enemy evacuated their post as our men reached the crest of their immense barriers, rising one above another to the height of about fifty feet, overgrown with thorns, and so steep as to be very difficult of access. The enemy here lost seven or eight men, and amongst them a mo gul or putan, named Kurreem Khan, who had reinforced the place the evening before with a detachment of 300 men, in consequence, as we have understood, of our having forced the passage of the Carwery the day before, and on whose despe rate valour I have every reason to suppose the Rajah put the utmost confidence for the defence of this important post, which would appear to be the key of the country between the Rama gawmy Cannawye and Seedepoor, having in its rear a high road in excellent order direct to Madkerry. This road is not mentioned in the instructions, so I suppose has been hitherto unknown ; nor is there any road leading from the river up to the stockade. From an accident happening to one of the gun carriages, I was unable further to prosecute any route, and encamped be yond the stockade, which is a large square place measuring about half a mile across it, having in the first place destroyed some of the defences made on the Madkerry-road, at first from ignorance of its being the wrong road, and afterwards from a desire to delude the enemy as to the route to be pursued in the morning. The next morning, as I was breaking ground, an Arab came in with a white flag, requesting me to halt my column at this place. I, of course, dismissed him, and declined receiving another individual, whom he represented as having a letter from the Rajah. This day (the 4th) there were a few shots occasionally exchanged, during the march, between the enemy and our skirmishers, but without any loss, I believe, on either side. The next day (the sth), I reached Veerajenderpett, without having been molested, and with scarce any cases of sickness in the camp. A list of individuals who have suffered from wounds is for warded herewith ; and I can only attribute the smallness of their number to the regularity and precision with which my orders were invariably carried into execution. The whole of the troops under my command behaved with the utmost steadiness and gallantry on every occasion. The detachment of his Majesty's 39th regiment surmount. ed all difficulties with the characteristic behaviour of British soldiers, nor were the native troops of the 36th and 48th less forward in maintaining their good name. Since the first day of operations I have been deprived of the services of Captain Smyth, of his Majesty's 39th regiment, who, although severely wounded in the foot, continued to lead on his men throughout the day, after forcing the passage of ' the river. To Major Wiggins, of the 36th Regiment ; I feel myself most particularly indebted for his gallantry before the enemy, as well as for his unremitting and zealous exertions during the few days we have been in the field, by forwarding my wishes and the weal of the public ser vice in every possible manner; in all of which he has been well supported by the men and officers of the regiment under his command. _ _ _ _ The small detachment of sappers under Captain Green have at all times cheerfully performed their constant and arduous duties. To my two Staff Lieutenants, Considine and Maclean, I deem myself to lay under great obligations, not only for the zealous manner in which their official duties have been per formed, but for the spirited manner in which they accompanied in ecolumns of attack. In conclusion, I beg leave to observe, that I should not have allowed myself to run into such prolixity of detail, were it not that I felt it due to individuals, who have so cheerfully and ably seconded my wishes in the performance of four days harassing duties.--I have the honour to be, &c .

Large and distinguished parties are assembled at Mr. and Harrsett Clive's, in Worcestershire ; also at the Earl of Beauchamp's, Madresfield Court; and at Mr. Edward and Lady Emily Foley's, Stoke Edith, Herefordshire. At the last sitting of the Cour d'Assizes de l'A in, at Bourg, a French General named Chastal was charged with having uttered certain treasonable expressions against Louis Philippe. It appeared that at the time of the recent dreadful occurrences at Lyons, the General and other individuals as sembled together, and uttered cries of " Vive la Republique, a bas les tyrans 1" and with having endeavoured to excite the citizens to march to-the assistance of the workmen at Lyons. The witnesses who were brought forward for the prosecution by the Procoreur du Roi gave their evidence very unwillingly, and the jury ultimately acquitted the prisoner. REV. JOSEPH WOLFF.—The following letter from this celebrated missionary has been received by a ladyresiding in Worcester; the journal which he intends publishing cannot fail to prove highly curious :—" Dear Mrs. —, I have not forgotten the kindness I have received at your house eight y ea rs ago, when at Worcester. Many things have taken place since. Dear Mrs. I have been enabled, by God's grace, since you saw us, to preach the tidings of salvation at Gibraltar, Malta, Egypt, Jerusalem, Cyprus, Thessalonica, Smyrna, Constantinople, Bythinia, Attalia, Galatia, Toxat, Erzeroom, Persia, Korassaun, even in the city of Meshed, Toorkinstaun, Bochara, Samarcand, Balkh, Cabool, Cash mere, Delhi, Calcutta, Cochin, Goa, Bombay, Musue, in Abyssinia ; and after an absence of three years, I am again with my dear wife and child, in Malta, and have pre pared my journals for immediate publication, and it will make one vol., and the price of it will be sixteen shillings. Y ou know that I am not supported by any Society ; that I take no thing from my wife for the expence of my journey. M y mis sion to Bochara did cost to Mr. Frere 5601., to my wife 1251. ; but as soon as the King of Oude had made me a present of 1,0001. sterling, I repaid, as well to Mr. Frere as to my dear wife, and with the rest I travelled back to Malta ; and I beg you, therefore, dear Mrs. to procure me. some ,sub scribers in England, and send the names of the subscribers to me, and their direction ; for with the money I get for my book I shall undertake a journey to Abyssinia, Timbuctoo, Cape of Good Hope, Lassa, capital of the Grand Lama, Yoxand, China, America, Kamtschatka, Petersburgh, Poland, and Prussia. I intend, however, to come to England with the October packet. Yours affectionately, " JOSEPH WOLFF, Missionary to the Jews. " Malta, 24th July, 1834."

They are, indeed, but short-sighted in their gene ration—they have only reached the threshold of in telligence—who merely see, in the Great Reform Din ner given to Earl GREY and his late colleagues in the Cabinet by the people of Scotland, an outward sign of a nation's gratitude for important public services. There is much more in the congregating of public and private men, for the exposition of principles and the avowal of purposes on the one part, and for the ex pression of thankfulness, gratitude, and confidence on the other, than meets the eye simply satisfied with gazing upon the external surfaces of things. When the governors and the governed come thus together, the one to prove the equity with which the sword and the balance have been adjusted, the other to listen with deference—to dissent with respect—and to ap prove with warmth, where gratitude is justly due— we may assert, without fear of contradiction, that the sceptre of despotism is for ever broken in England— that the Divine Right system, so dear to the hearts of a haughty aristocracy, is at last shattered in the United Kingdom.... This is the more important to be considered, as never before was the true principles of representative power so completely developed, or so effectually carried into operation. Formerly it was an act of wonderful condescension for a member of the House of Commons to accept a dinner from his con stituents, for the purpose of enlightening them as to the line of policy which it pleased him to adopt in his previous legislative career. But, lo ! the mighty change which in four short years has been effected I What in 1829 was a gracious condescension, of which the inhabitants of whole counties, and sometimes of a country, were expected to entertain the most grateful remembrance, is now a duty which the nation is already being taught by example to look upon as incumbent on his MAJESTY'S Government. Well may the Tories wail over this epitaph to the memory of their inhumed principles ; and much may the country rejoice 'at this triumph over feudal ignorance, and Aristocratic irre- sponsibility. We are not always disposed to examine too closely the motives of human conduct ; and therefore we will not attempt to investigate how far a desire of setting an example to future governments may have influenced those members of the late and present Cabinets, who addressed the people of Scotland on this occasion. It is enough that an example has been set, against the propriety of which, it will hencef or th b e i n va i n to pro _ _ test. The door has been opened, and no power on earth will ever again be able to close it. This is the main thing to be considered, because in it is involved a principle which is for the first time permanently established in England. In a word, we have now a Representative Government—a Government based upon the country's appreciation of its opinions, honesty, and declared purposes of future procedure. But we would not have it inferred, because we de cline to examine with a severe and searching scrutiny the motives of every member of the Reform Cabinet, who appealed to the population of Scotland in defence of the principles acted upon by the Whig Government, that therefore the principal personages were not impressed with a conviction of setting an example to future times. Far from, it. Earl GREY, in his address to the multitude by whom he was surrounded, assured them that the spectacle Which then filled all hearts with joy, was not so much " a record of the past, as it would serve for a lesson for the • future ;" and this sentiment, so worthy of a great, liberal, and enlightened Statesman, was repeated in nearly the same words by Lord DURHAM and Sir JOHN C. HOBHOUSE. After eulogising the manifes tation of public spirit—of political principles in Edin burgh—the Right Hon. Baronet thus dwells upon the imperishable bases upon which the conduct of the ti Government rested, and their future determination to regard it as the just and legitimate principle by which they would henceforward be guided : " As the Noble Earl, who is the object this day, not only of yOur applause, but of that of the whole country,—as he, I say, has told you, this occasion will serve not only for a record of the past, but for a lesson for the future--it will not only tell what he has done for the public, but it will tell whet other men,, who, at a humble and a great distance, endeavour to tread in his illustrious footsteps, may expect to earn from their fellow-countrymen—it will teach them that if they try as well and deserve as well, they may be sure, according to their meed of merit, to receive their reward."—(Cheers.) We must take another opportunity of pointing out the importance, and of dwelling upon the patriotism which distinguished the several speeches delivered by the Noble Chairman, and the local authorities of Scotland, who presided at this great national festival. The subject is by far too important to be passed over in a single article, the more especially as it embodies the sentiments of an ancient kingdom, of an enlightened, educated population—now a large, integral, and most independent portion of a powerful empire—on all the great principles . of Government, and the liberal policy which has recently been pursued by his MAJESTY'S Ministers.. Even among the individuals who were present at.the banquet, there may be many but imper fectly acquainted with the effects of the expression of their sentiments, and of the spirit in which the rest of the country is disposed to attend to them. It is further important that the demagogues, who are at this moment disturbing the peace and endan gering the safety of Ireland, should be made fully aware of the support which Ministers may calculate upon, should- it be found necessary to extinguish the sparks of sedition which are now being scattered, by the coercive arm of the law: - The rival factions that have hitherto made a political scape-goat of the Ministry, must be taught that they dare the vengeance of a power as strong to repress evil—as powerful to suppress incitement to rebellion—as mighty in the maintenance of just principle—as independent of a necessity ito conciliate the authors of out rage by forbearance, as the whole united energy, power, and influence of England and Scotland can make it. This, in all likelihood, is something more than the BOYTONS, BERESFORDS, and O'CONNELLS have anticipated. The past week has been a proud one for Edinburgh in every sense of the word. To say nothing of the thousands of liberal and enlightened spirits that have been thronging into it from all quarters, for the pur pose of paying their disinterested tribute of respect to Earl GREY ; the Scottish metropolis has also been the resort of many of the most distinguished men of science of the day, foreigners as well as natives, among the former of whom we may notice M. ARAGO, the well-known French philosopher, who came to Edin burgh for the two-fold purpose of receiving and imparting instruction. It is an ennobling—a heart-stirring sight, to see the distinguished spirits of other countries thus holding out the hand of fellowship to us—thus willing to fraternize with us—thus making one of ourselves, in the glorious endeavour to promote the interests of science and philosophy. It is by means like these that the cause of humanity is best helped forward—its weak points best strengthened. Intellect is the fine, subtle, but firm ligature which links nations as well as men together in the bonds of one common brother hood. It is the redeeming portion of our nature, without which we should be more abject than the brutes that perish. It serves as a foil to the false pride of birth ; smooths down the acerbities of party spirit ; removes the lines of demarcation by which the prejudices of habit and circumstance separate one kingdom from another ; brings them together ; and forms of them one vast and amicable family. It is for these reasons that we have read with the deep est interest of the scientific proceedings that have lately taken place in the British Assisciation at Edin burgh. There we find men of all nations assem bled, not as mere spectators—not coldly and dis dainfully standing aloof in the pride of superior pretensions—but each vying with the other in his generous zeal to contribnte to the general stock of in tellect. These are the true philanthropists—these the true conquerors of the world, whose victories will en dure when those of CJESAR and NAPOLEON are for gotten. Dutch Papers of the 17th inst. have been received late this afternoon. They state that the remaining portions of the Schuttery had returned to their several localities, and were cordially welcomed by their friends. It appears that the Dutch bondholders of Spanish stock have imitated the example of their French neighbours, and have addressed the QUEEN REGENT of Spain to recognise the various loans negociated at Paris, Amsterdam, and London. The Address is got up by the Directors and Committee of the New Commercial Society of Amsterdam, in the name of the merchants, bankers, and commissaries of Amsterdam, holders of Spanish Stock.

Register. We recommend those of our readers who are fond of seeing rich and elegant dresses, to call in at Messrs. Swain & Co.'s, Fleet-street, and see the suits of state livery that they have made for the servants of A. Raphael, Esq., Sheriff Elect. They are certainly of most surpassing beauty, particularly the gracefiLl and flowing ease of the vine branches around the whole of the coats, embroidered with gold on a bright blue cloth ; also the eagle (the worthy Sheriff's crest, we believe), worked in like manner in the skirts of the coats. We understand that Messrs. Swain & Co. had a carte blanch of Mr. Raphael as regards both the plan and the cost of these clothes ; what the cost may amount to we do not know, but we have seen some of a former Sheriff's that we know cost upwards of five hundred pounds for three suits, and which were nothing in point of richness and elegance when compared with these from the workshop of Messrs. Swain & Co. On account of the present cheapness of apples on the one hand, and the pressure of the malt tax on the other, cider is taking the place of beer in counties where it has never hitherto been heard of as an ordinary beverage.

A meeting of the Proprietors of Bank Stock took place to day, in the Court-room of the Bank of England, for the pur pose of considering of a dividend, and other business. There was also one of the Quarterly Courts under the Charter. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, The GOVERNOR (R. M. Raikes, Esq.) stated that the pre sent was one of the Quarterly Courts appointed by the Char ter, and also one of the Half-yearly Courts, for the purpose of. declaring a dividend. The 'Court of Directors, after considering the state of the Bank account, thought it would be expedient that a dividend of 4 per cent. should be granted, if it met with the appro bation of the Court, for the half-year ending the 10th of Oc tober next. Mr. SELWYN wished, before the question of dividend was put, to know whether comparing the rests of the present' year with the rests of the last the result presented an increase or a decrease ? The GOVERNOR—An increase. Mr. SELWYN wished also to know whether there had been during the last year any extension of the branch bank establish ments ? The GOVERNOR said there had been a Portsmouth branch, that Plymouth was open, but Exeter was closed. Mr. SELWYN also wished to enquire whether by comparing the accounts of the Branch Banks they presented in their re sults a profit or a loss ? The GOVERNOR said, that upon taking the average of the whole, they presented a profit. Mr. YOUNG, before the putting the question of Dividend, wished to inquire of the Governor as to the state of the affairs of the Bank. Very important measures had taken place with the approbation of a speeial Meeting, and he wished to know how thoie measures hud been carried into effect ? The GOVERNOR stated that they had been effected by the purchase of annuities for'6 years, to the amount of 212,7831. per Annum. Mr. YOUNG thought, that on reference to the Minutes that had just been read, it would be found to have been the inten tion to have purchased 3 per cent. Consols at 90. The GOVERNOR said that it certainly had been the intention to purchase in the 3 per cent. reduced,. but, upon consideration, it had been thought best by the Court that the investment should be changed into annuities, which would not be subject to the fluctuation of the funds.—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. YOUNG thought that the Court ought to take care that its capital should be kept entire. The GOVERNOR said that that had been done, as a redeem ing fund would be set apart for that purpose. Mr. YOUNG thought that the capital would not be so easily acquired again as if the money had been invested in three per cents. He thought that the fund might have been invested more advantageously. • The GOVERNOR said that that had been a subject that had taken up a considerable portion of the time of the Court. It was possible that in the next twenty-six years the fund might be much more advantageously invested, but at present he did not think it could be. Mr. YOUNG hoped the legal gentlemen of the bank had taken care that every difficulty had been cleared away, and that the Bank had only done that which legally they had a right to do. There was a question agitated before the Court last March with respect to a loan to the East India Company, on which interest.was paid; he wished to know whether the inte rest continued to be paid upon it. The GOVERNOR said that it did upon one million, but that would cease in October next. Mr. YOUNG wished to know whether the issues and deposits advertised comprehended the issues and deposits of the Branch Banks ? The GOVERNOR said that the publication of the issues, deposits, and bullion of the Bank included the deposits, and circulation, and bullion of the Branch Banks. Mr. FIELDER wished to know whether the sum set apart for redemption would be sufficient to redeem the whole of the capital ? The GOVERNOR observed that it would.—( Hear. ) Mr. FIELDER enquired whether in setting apart the fund for the redemption, they had taken into consideration the fall or rise of the funds. He wished to know the opinion of the Directors as to the probability of the funds being higher or lower at the end of 26 years. The GOVERNOR could not give any opinion upon that point; he thought they probably would be higher. Mr. FIELDER—But, in all contingencies, the fund set apart will be sufficient. The GOVERNOR. --It will. Mr. BLACKBURN thought that, with respect to the question of dividend, some general statement ought to be made to the Court as to the condition of the Corporation, that they might know the grounds on which they were recommended to vote a half-yearly dividend of 4 per cent. Since the Court had last met., an Act had passed by which the whole revenue, instead of being paid into the Exchequer, would be paid into the hands of the Bank. He thought it ought to be stated to the Court whether that was a benefit or a detriment to the Bank. The' GOVERNOR observed that the Corporation felt it their duty as bankers to title Government to afford every facility to the transaction of public business. The GOVERNOR then put the question whether the Court would agree to a dividend of four per cent., when— Mr. WINTER rose for the purpose of moving a resolution declaratory of the approval of the Court of the conduct of the Directors in opposing the London and Westminster Bank Bill, and that in its opinion it was an infraction of the Bank Charter. In doing so, the Honourable Proprietor stated that the conduct of the Directors had been most praise worthy, and that if any doubt was entertained of the mea sure being an infringement on the Bank Charter, that doubt was set at rest by the admission of Lord Althorp in the House of Commons, and Earl Grey in the House of Lords, where the measure died a natural death. The present Premier had also admitted the measure was an infraction of the Charter. As he wished that the conduct the Directors had Pursued should be known to the public, he would move the following Resolution : " That this Court considers the application of the London and Westminster Bank to Parliament, to enable them to sue and be sued in the names of certain persons, to be an infraction of the charter, and that this Court therefore approves of the conduct of the Directors in resisting the application, and trust they will persevere in their resolution." Mr. YOUNG, in seconding the motion, thought it the duty of the C our t t o remonstrate very strongly on such infringe ment being made. As large responsibility had been cast upon the Bank, he thought what privileges they had left should not be taken away.—( Hear, hear.) If your stock banks were to have the privileges that had been tried for on the case of the London and Westminster Bank, then adieu to all protection to the Bank of England. He had no doubt that that measure had been introduced with the spirit and for the Purpose of putting an end to their protection. He was glad that it had been defeated, and cordially seconded the motion. Mr. SELWYN thought the Court, by adopting the resolu tion, would be taking too much upon itself without time for reflection. The resolution, as it at present stood, was cer tainly a most harsh one. If the former part was omitted, and the commendation of the Directors only retained, he should have no objection. He would conclude by moving that the former part be expunged. Mr. FIELDER i n secon di ng th e mo ti on , s t a t e d th a t if th e r e was any censure attributable to any one, it must be the House of Com mons . H e was as much against Joint Stock Com panies as any man, not only for his own interest, but for the interest of tho se un h a pp y crea t ures w h o go t i n t o them.—( A laugh.) But he thought the Court had no right to censure any set of men for asking the Legislature for that which they thought they had a right to obtain. A PROPRIETOR considered it high time for the Bank to look about them, when such large majorities had voted against the Bill in the Commons. It was was probable by and bye that House would vote their heads off.—( A laugh.) He could not but express his surprize at what had been stated by the Hon. Pro prietor below him (Mr. Selwyn). Mr. SELWYN did not feel at all astonished at the surprise expressed by the Honourable Proprietor, when he re collected that things were done now with a sort of steam engine dispatch. He considered the resolu tion calculated to throw an imputation on the proprietors of the London and Westminster Bank. Mr. \\ T INTER had no intention of throwing any imputation on that body. They had as much right as any one to set up a bank, but even Ministers themselves had ad mitted that the bill would have been an infringement on the Bank charter. In the words embodied in his resolution, therefore, he was only confirming their statements. He had heard it said—and he wished for information from the Governor on this subject—that the bank at St. Albans had drawn bills on the London and West minster Bank, and that that establishment had accepted them. If that was so, it was clearly an infringement of the charter of the Bank. Tt o said that there were such bills—that the Di m as an infraction of the Charte r , thehadhGraeGOdfvelErorßoeNkdOeßdon h subject to their legal advisers.---( Hear. ) A PROPRIET OR subm i t ted wh et h e r, without going into the seem points of law , it would be expedient to put such a r eso l u ti on ? It e would to him to imply that the establishm en t o f any o ther Company than the London and Westminster Bank would not be an infringeme nt of the Charter. Mr. FIELD ER t rusted the Dir ectors did nothing except the regular ro utine business of the Bank, without c onsu lti ng t h e i r legal advisers. andrc h r e s The GOVERNOR stated they did not. Mr. YOUNG was afraid that if even there were a shadow of indifference shown on the subject by the Court, it would be considered out of doors, that they thought it of no impor tance. The Bank of England incurred the whole respon sibilities of the country, and it ought to have its charter po te ‘ d V . ILLIAMSON moved the p rev i ous question. FIELDER could not suppose th at any person could think so tilnumerous a Meeting as the p resent could be unmindful pf their e own M r . SELWYN thought , the ve r y di scuss i on that had taken p l ace to-day would convince the p u bli c t h at there was no indifference on the subject. A PROPRIET OR could not accede to th e s t a t ements j us t m ade. Lawyers had always their own interest at heart.--( A laugh.) rl‘lrre:interest. If the present opportunity was passed by, the House of Com mons would say the Corporation was indifferent to their own charter. For his, part, he .would not listen to any interested lawyers.

MPROPRIETOR._. s. —oanunisnedlivifodrualthestoNeVke.shtmolidnesrt,eranßdahnakd. H e appeared there only suggested a course which he conscientiously believed would be best for the Court to adopt. Mr. FIELDER trusted that Sir ,J. Scarlett, who was pre sent, would not take it amiss, if he requested him to give his opinion as to whether the transaction referred to by Mr. Winter, was an infraction of the charter according to the Act. Sir J. SCARLETT then came forward and stated that he un derstood the question to be, whether the acceptance of certain bills of exchange, at a date of less than six months, was an infraction of the charter. He should say that the question turned entirely OR the meaning of the words, " owe money upon their bills." There might be an ambiguity whether the acceptance was the bill of the ac ceptor. But that question had been decided by the King's Bench in the case of the Manchester Water-works. In that case the Court held that the bill was the bill of the acceptor, and taking that as an authority, he should say that if any person at St. Alban's should draw on the London and Westminster Bank, it would be the bill of the acceptor, and would be a violation of the charter. After some observations from Messrs. WINTER, YOUNG, and BLACKBURNE, the resolution approving the proceedings of the Directors—in opposing the London and Westminster Bank Bill—was carried unanimously, Mr. Winter consenting to ex punge that part which had been objected to. The meeting then broke up. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY. This morning a Court of Common Council was held al Guildhall. The LORD MAYOR, attended by. Aldermen Kelly, Cowan, and Harmer, took the Chair at one o'clock. Several petitions were presented of no public interest : they were referred to the Committee for General Purposes. The Report from the City Lands' Committee, with respect to Smithfield, was brought up and read. After setting forth the labours of the Committee before the Committee of the House of Commons with respect to the Islington Market Bill; which terminated in its rejection, it recommended the widen ing and improving of Smithfield Market, by purchasing certain houses on the north side, at an expense estimated by their sur veyor at 71,1001. The CHAIRMAN of the Committee moved that the Report be referred back to the Committee to be acted upon, and the recommendations carried into effect. The motion was seconded, when Mr. JONES hoped that a report of such vast importance would not be hurried through in such a hasty manner. He would move that it lay on the tahle till a future day, in order to give time for the Council to receive the Report of the Finance Committee relative to the intended new street from the end of Farringdon-street. From his local knowledge, as well as from information received from the salesmen in the market, he fully believed that the much better plan would be to make the improvements on the western side in place of the northern, as that would give greater facilities_ to the immense droves of cattle every day driven off towards the west end, and also join admirably with the intended new street, while, by the plan proposed by the report, no other ob- ject would be effected than the mere enlargement of the market. He trusted his motion would be agreed to, for the Court could not be so well acquainted with its details as they ought to be before agreeing to it. He then moved, as an amend ment, that the the report do lie on the table. Mr. WIRE seconded the amendment. The CHAIRMAN of the City Lands Committee then rose, and was left speaking. A SUB-EDITOR. I wonder what the word implies with the generality of readers. The humiliating first syllable that seems to fra ternize so readily with those pariahs among words, sub mission, subjection—and all the slavish family connected with them, would naturally leave one to supp ose , th a t th e thing called a sub-editor was an animal made to be snubbed, a sort of lackey in the courts olliterature, an errand-boy well stricken in years, to the slipshod muse of a magazine, a humble official to stand behind the back of genius, with a paste-pot suspended round his neck, and a pair of scissors in his right hand—in fact, a piece of literal prostration, that any man who has got as far as his as in prcesenti would honour by " voiding his rheum on ;" in short, an inky per sonification sometimes tolerated among booksellers, of con sideration only among printers' devils, and great only in his own estimation. It is good to undeceive the world. In the sub-editor the fable of Atlas is verified. His unlucky shoulders bear the weight of all errors, all mistakes, and all accidents : whilst the editor himself is actually the moun tain upon those overburthened shoulders, his head thrust into the skies, catching every ray of glory, and revelling in the eternal sunshine of reputation. There is such a thing" as truth in the world : indeed there is, let the Bishops say what they will about our moral depravity. It is a very unwholesome practice, that of judging from what we find at home. I do not mean the naked truth. We are now too decent, too much refined, to allow such an abomination as that to walk about in our civilized times. To suffer that, would be almost as shocking as tolerating the naked lie. Yes, there is such a thing as truth permitted still among us, provided it be decently clothed. I have not done with the editor yet, and, in order that he may not have done with me, if he should see it, I am going to offer another truth to my falsehood-abhorring readers, but very decently clothed in a simile. Look at the church clock, view its broad and burnished face, mark the golden indices. In all this accumulation of display you see the editor, the observed of men, the praised of women ; but the delicate little wheels, where are they ? and the powerful and ever elastic mainspring ;—obscure,d, concealed, unnoted, like the unvalued invaluable Sub-Editor.---Monthly Magazine. DIAMONDS. The first mine of this substance is supposed to have been accidentally discovered by a peasant. Diamonds are, in deed, said to have been known previously to the Christian era ; but the art of cutting and polishing them was first put, into practice by Bouis de Berguen, a native of Bruges, in the year 1450. The finest diamond mines are those of Gani and Conloor, near Golconda ; Raolconda, near Visa poor ; Latavar and Somelpoor, in Bengal ; there are also some productive mines at Borneo, in the Brazils, and at Malacca. The value of a diamond is estimated by its weight in what are called carats. The carat, which is a weight em ployed by the lapidaries, is divided into four grains, each of which is again subdivided into sixteen parts. The finest diamonds are those which are most free from colour and most transparent, and which are crystallized in octahedral prisms, terminating in a point. ' Some stones are yellowish, others bluish, or of the colour of steel, some are greenish, and others are black. The diamond burns with a flame ;it is consumed and dissipated in a crucible at a less degree of heat than is required to melt pure silver. It has also phos phoric and electric properties. The following are the finest diamonds of which we have any account : - Ist. That belonging to the Great Mogul. It weighs 279 carats 9-16ths. It is of the most perfect water, and its form is that of an egg cut through the middle. Its value is estimated at about 512,890/. 2d. The diamond of the Grand Duke of Tuscany, weigh ing 1392 carats. It is pure, and of fine form, but has a slight shade of yellow. In consequence of this blemish, it is not valued higher than about 119,114/. 3d. The Sancy diamond, which formerly belonged to the crown of France, was named after the Baron de Sancy, French Ambassador at Constantinople, who brought it to Lewis XI V. It cost about 26,2501., and is thought to be worth much more. 4th. The Pitt, or Regent Diamond, so called from the name of its possessor in England, from whom it was pur chased by the Duke of Orleans during the minority of Louis XV. This stone weighed 400 carats when rough, and nearly 135 after being cut and polished. The charge for cutting it amounted to 4,5001., and the diamond powder employed for that purpose' cost 1,4001. The small pieces cut from it were worth 8,000/. The Duke of Orleans paid 135,000/. for this diamond. - sth. The diamond purchased by the Empress of Russia in 1772, which is the largest known, being of the size of a pigeon's egg. The following is its history :—A French private soldier, who was serving in India, having deserted, and entered the Malabar service, found means to steal one of the eyes from the famous statue of Sheringham, in the temple of Bramah. This was the diamond. He fled with his treasure to Madras, where he sold it to the captain of a ship. The captain, in . his turn, sold it to a Jew, from whose possession it passed into the hands of a Greek merchant, and was ultimately purchased by the Empress of Russia. It is placed in the imperial crown, just below the eagle. It weighs 779 carats, and was purchased by the Empress for a sum far below its real value. The Berkshire Musical Festival is postponed till next year. - The long projected street leading from the end of Oxford-street and Tottenham-court-road, through the heart of the worst part of St. Giles's in its line to meet the new street which will come from Waterloo-bridge to Broad-street, St. Giles's, is now likely to take place. A survey and estimate of the old houses to be pulled down for that purpose is now being made. The improvement will remove the whole of that dense neighbourhood known as " the Rookery of St. -Giles's," and reflects great credit on the Commissioners of Woods and Forests. . • • SO A few days ago Mr. Smirke, having visited King's College to see the works in progress, found none but the whitewashers at their labour, the bricklayers having struck ; in consequence of which he dismissed the former, being deter mined that the work should not be done piecemeal.
