an address to Lord Grey. But I was not present when he submitted it in private. In London I had an interview with him, and prevailed on him to give up the notion of moving it. Mr. WELLESLEY—State what you said to Inc in the House of Commons. This was addressed to Mr. Western, but Mr. HARVEY said " Yes, but I did not send the copy, as I did not intend to move the address." Mr. WESTERN—You promised not to move it, and I said so to many friends ; you declared your intention of reading it, but I objected to this, be cause though you may not put it, many people will say " put it, put it." The view taken of it by my colleague was perfectly natural, because he did not know your intention of reading it. There has been a misapprehension, but my Hon. Colleague is not to blame, and it would have been better had Mr. Har vey abstained from reading what he did not mean to propose. He announces to the Tories the existence of divisions amongst us. Let the matter rest. This distinctly I say, that any man who does or says any thing at this moment to annoy a brother Reformer, is, I won't say a traitor to Reform, but an injudi cious friend. Mr. DISNEY—On Friday last Mr. Harvey pro mised us, in the private room, copies of the address, but left us quite uncertain as to his future intentions. 1 got no copy, and thought the whole matter was ended. Mr. LENNARD, M.P.—Gentlemen, this meeting is convinced the whole affair originated in mistake. The general feeling is that the two gentlemen should make mutual explanations, and we pray them to do so, to submit to its commands.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear," from the whole meeting.) Mr. WELLESLEY—I detest disputes ; but I will state the course I had intended to pursue. At Stratfcrd I went to meet gentlemen, the majority of whom were not members of the Established Church, in order to discuss Mr. Harvey's address. I had it not ; I got no copy, and told them it would be un fair to discuss it, as he did not intend to move it.— (Here some one from the crowd confirmed Mr. Wellesley's statement.) lam no lawyer, and could not see the difference between moving and proposing it. Had I thought he would move the address, and make such a speech, I would have lain on my oars. If I have been in error in attributing to Mr. Harvey a violation of his premises, I withdraw the expression.—(Great cheering.) Mr. HARVEY—Nothing can be more satisfactory. Had I moved the address without sending Mr. Wel lesley a copy, lie would have been perfectly justified. I was hasty, and it is a warm retort but an Esglish one, to say it is not true. After what Mr. Wellesley has said, I quite withdraw the offensive expression.— (Loud cheering for some time.) Thanks were moved to the county Members, and both gentlemen made their acknowledgments. The warm thanks of the meeting were also given to the Chairman, who made a brief reply, and called upon the meeting not ►o separate without evincing their gratitude to our generous King. " I give you, gentlemen," said Sir T. B. Lennard, " the head of the Reformers, William IV., with four times four." The Chairman, with the meeting, then uncovered, and the cheers were given in the most rapturous manner, after which the meeting separated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.) PORTSMOUTH, DEC. 10.—His Majesty's steam vessel Coatiance, 2, Lieut. H. F. Belson, proceeded to Cowes on Tuesday, and returned the same day ‘s ith a detachment of the 14th Regiment, which were disembarked at Gosport, and marched to For ton Barrack;. His Majesty's cutter Cracker, Lieut. Roepel, was paid wages on Saturday, and is stationed at Spit head to prevent communication with ships or vessels arriving, which may be liable to quarantine. His Majesty's gun-brig Brisk, 3, Lieut. E. H. Butterfield, which sailed on Saturday, brought up at St. Helen's during the night. She sailed again on Sunday morning, but owing to strong adVerse winds, was obliged to put back a second time, and remains at anchor off Lymington Creek. She will proceed to the river Gambia the moment the wea ther shall moderate. Mr. H. Gammon, appointed Second Master of the Conflict gun-brig, goes out passenger in the Brisk. The Emerald was docked on Thursday, arid un docked on Friday, being succeeded by the Panta• loon, which was undocked yesterday. The Mada gascar was taken into dock on Tuesday, and out again on Friday. his Majesty's ship Revenge, 76, Captain D. IL Mackay, still remains. at St. Helen's, under sailing orders. The most absurd and groundless rumours continue in circulation respecting the cause of her detention ; among others the sickly state of her We are, however, assured from a good ource that no epidemic disease of any kind is pre valent on board her, and further that she is pro vided with a clean bill of health, having been visited while at Spithead by the Quarantine Medical Officer. She received her orders to sail yesterday morning, and will accordingly sail, wind permitting, this day. His Majesty's ship Success, 28, Capt. W. C. .lervoise (recently returned from the East India sta tion), will be paid off in ordinary on Wednesday. His Maj, sty's ship Isis, 50, Capt. Polkinghorne, still remains at Spithead. She is ready for sea, and is only awaiting the arrival of Rear-Admiral F. Warren, C. 8., to re-hoist his flag, when she will forthwith proceed to the coast of Africa and the Cape of Good Hope. The Rear-Admiral has been expected since Wednesday last, but we have riot yet heard of his flag having been struck on board his Majesty's ship Talavera, or his resigning the com• wand of the fleet in the Downs. crew. The Clinker gun-brig, which left this port on the 25th ult., on her way to the river, in tow of his Ma jesty's ship Shannon, has, by the violence of the weather, we hear, been with much difficulty got into Ramsgate, having broken adrift. is Majesty's ship Britannia, 120, Capt. Peter gainie6 f",.8., is still in dock, making her defects good, and perfecting her complement to the full peace establishment. She is not expected to be Featly for sea these two months. His - Majesty's gun-brig Brisk, Lieut. Butterfield, left this port on the 4th, put into Yarmouth ,oat thz sth, and sailed on the following day for the „:oast of Africa. His Majesty's ship Barham, 52, Capt. Hugh Pigot, which sailed from this port on the 30th of October, arrived off Gibraltar on the 14th ult. The Hope, transport, Lieut. Ryder, Agent, will iiirogeed in a few days for Sheerness, with stores for that dock-yard. The Wanderer, transport, Lieut. Voting, Agent, will also proceed for Deptford. His Ikijesty's ship Madagascar, 46, was yester thy re-commissioned by her former Captain, E. Lyons. Donna 3laria's schooner of war, the Isle of Ter ceira, which has received a thorough refit at this port, went out of harbour on the 2d inst. and hav ing taken on board a number of pas sengers , got under weigh for Brest, to join Don Pedro's expedi tion, but was obliged to put back to Spithead, and on the following day the weather compelled her to return into harbour. At St. Helen's—Revenge. At Spithead—lsis. In Harbour —Victory, Britannia, Royal George, Melville, Madagascar, Success, 4Etna, Pantaloon; Contiance steamer; Cracker, and Emerald cutters. PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.— Capt. Ed mund Lyons, C. 8., is appointed to his Majesty's ship Madagascar, ordered to be recommissioned.— Capt. Samuel Warren, late Commodore at Wool vvich, is appointed Commissioner of that dock-yard. Mr. J. C. Otter, late of the Madagascar, is promoted to the rank of Lieutenant.—Mr. John Munro, Su. pernumerary Assistant-Surgeon of his Majesty's ship Victory, is appointed Assistant-Surgeon of his Ma jesty's ship Stag. The following Alldshipmen were found duly qua- Led in seamanship on '1 hursday, on examination on board his Majesty's ship Victory, by the Captains of his Majesty's ships Britannia, Melville, and Victory, viz :—Mr. J. T. W. French, of his Majesty's ship Magnificent; Mr. Henry Saunders, of his Majesty's ship Prince Regent; Mr. S. W. Grandy, of lis Majesty's ship 'Winchester; and Mr. Thomas H. Page, of his Majesty's ship Britannia. Mr. Francis Cole, Clerk of the Cracker, was also found competent to discharge the duty of a Purser in the Royal Navy. Capt. Samuel Warren, late Commodore at Wool wich, has been appointed Commissioner of Wool wich Dock-yard with an increase to his salary of 200/. per annum. A more wortl.y man, or one more competent to fulfil with effect the duties of this dis tinguished post, could not have been selected. There has been no Commissioner at Woolwich since the removal of Commissioner Cunningham. The Establishment of Clerks in the several Dock yards is about to be considerably reduced. Two clerks employed at the Navy-office, but borne on the books of Woolwich Yard, together with three others from the latter Arsenal, have been placed on the superannuation list. Two extra clerks, lately employed on warrant officers' accounts, with four others at Chatham Yard, are likewise to be placed on tile retired list. With regard to our local esta blishments, five clerks, and two temporary clerks will be reduced in this dock-yard, as well as three clerks at the Royal Clarence yard, and one at Haslar. We understand that a reduction is exnected in the Royal Marine corps, by the discharge of all men under five feet six inches high ; but in what way it is to be effected we are not exactly aware, though we presume that all men of a certain standing in the service, will either receive a graduated pension, or else a commuted allowance on discharge, according to character and length of servitude. This will in all probability be followed by a considerable reduc duction in our naval and military establishments. We understand that an order has been given by Major-General Sir James Cockburn, Bart. and K.C.H. (the Inspector-General of Royal Marines), that the period for the change of uniform in the officers of that corps, which was fixed for the Ist of January next, is extended to the 23d of April follow ing, at which time the new annual clothing will, as usual, be served to the non-commissioned officers and privates. His Majesty's Dock-yard, at Deptford, is to be done away with, and the stores therein to be re moved to Woolwich. Captain Warren, as Com missioner of the latter yard, will superintend the removal, which, it is supposed, will occupy about three months. The Deptford Yard will, we believe, be converted into a depot for troops, such an esta blishment being much wanted in the neighbourhood of London. By a late order from the Admiralty, no Midship men are in future to be examined in navigation until after a service of six years, and the names of those who may be found deficient in this essential branch are to be reported to their Lordships. The Lords Commissions of the Admiralty have directed that in future all men who may volunteer for his Majesty's ships shall, in addition to the usual overhaul by the medical officer of the ship, be sent to the Naval Hospital there, to undergo a rigid exa mination, in order to ascertain the nature of any dis ease or infirmity under which they may then be la• bouring, with the view to render the crews of the different ships more efficient, and for the better re gulation of their pensions. The magazines of his Majesty's ships, we hear, are about to be altered again. The passages and enclosures for handing up powder, and for passing down the empty cartridge boxes, are found to be so entirely without ventilation, that the men's lives are in danger to such as happen to be occupied in them. We understand the frequent alterations that have al ready taken place in ships' magazines, have incurred an expense of many thousand pounds, and it will now take as many more to restore them to what they were originally. The present Naval Secretary at the Admiralty proposed a very simple and effi cient plan for a magazine, when serving at this port. Would it not be wise to adopt it, now that an extensive alteration is contemplated ? In consequence of the many reports which have been prevalent during the week, as to the state of health on board his Majesty's ships at this port, we have been at some pains to ascertain the truth of the matter, and we can assure our readers of the follow ing fact, viz. :—that in twelve sail now at this port, the total number on the sick list does not exceed thirty, and these are afflicted with sickness which is common at this season of the year. The Neva, transport, Lieut. Adamson, agent, ar rived at Rio de Janeiro from Valparaiso, on the 12111 August last, and may be daily looked for in England. The Coast Guard Station at Swanage,under that indefatigable officer Lieut. Moore, R.N., seized, in Durleston Bay, at two A.M. on the sth instant L'Espoir, French smuggling lugger, with 155 casks of brandy, three of tea, and one of glass, which have been delivered over to the Custom-house, at Poole. The Poole district, which is at present highly dis ciplined, has been, within the last few months, very successful in the suppression of smuggling. Much anxious feeling is beginning to be ma nifested by our merchants, particularly those connected with the south of Europe and the Mediterranean, as to the effect which may take place on our trade through those quarantine regulations and restrictions of intercourse which have been almost universally adopted in conse quence of the admitted existence of the cholera morbus in this country. Many contracts have already been thrown up, and orders countermanded, through the difficulties which now present themselves to their regular execution. A merchant, to instance one example only, who ships goods for the north of Spain, and calculates, in the ordi nary state of things, on snaking his returns within two months, must give up all such commissions, when he is exposed both to the delay of a quarantine at Port Mahon, a further voyage, perhaps, of six weeks more, and to the damage and pilfering his property may be exposed to when there, and undergoing the process of purification. He and all those who are in the like situation suspend, of course, their :orders to the manufacturers ; and hence all those branches which depend upon them must look in a short time for a nearly total stagnation. It is impossible to estimate how far the mischief may extend, but its effects, according to the general opinion on 'Change, are only just beginning to be felt. In Portugal and Spain particularly, but also in Italy, Sicily, the islands, and the African coasts of the Mediterranean, the most strict pro tective regulations are to be looked for.— Times. SAILORS' OAI EN s.—Sailors, usually the boldest men alive, are yet on their own element very super stitious. At the present day they account it very unlucky to lose a bucket or a mop. To throw a cat overboard or drown one at sea is the same. Children are deemed lucky to a ship. Whistling at sea is supposed to cause increase of wind, and is therefore much disliked by seamen, though sometimes they themselves practice it when there is a dead calm. THE DECCAN PRIZE-MONEY.—Not a week passes by without bringing us half a dozen letters from unfortunate claimants on this fund, requesting us to direct the attention of Parliament and the public to the shameful manner in which the distribution has been retarded. As far back as the 23d of March, 1830, Mr. ARBUTHNOT, one of the Commissioners, declared that the weole money would be paid immediately, and that no obstacles could possibly occur which would delay the distribution beyond a month or two. Not two months, but two years, have now elapsed, and those who find it their interest to continue in the management of the fund, and who have a number of clerks and agents receiving salaries, under the pretence of inquiry, still put off, on various pleas, the distribution which has been so often promised. We have lately beard a whisper of losses and defaulters; and there fore, without tiking into consideration the hopes and suf ferings of the claimants—for that, we fear, will have little weight —we think those who are intrusted with the ma nagetnent of the prize -money are bound, for tbesake of their own character, to offer some explanation of the delay ; and we hope that Parliament, should the Commissioners still hesitate, will require satisfaction.— Observer. In the Excise Court on Saturday, WILLIAMS the " Butkite," murderer, was charged upon information by the name of Tnomas Hear), wi t h h av i ng carr i e d on an illicit factory for making glass at No. 2, Nova Scotia gardens, Bethnal-green. An excise officer proved the seizure of goods used in the manufacture of glass at the house of the person charged, and that WILLIAMS, or HEAD, was in company with Brsttoc. The Court condemned the goods seized, but did not inflict the usual penalty, 50/. The seizure was made in August last. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Moniteur of Friday, Dec. 9.) The official part contains the promulgation of the law relative to the distribution of the reserve of the Bank of France, consisting of two articles:— " 1. The profits of the Bank of France, belonging to the shareholders, and reserved from the Ist of July, 1820, to the 30th of June, 1831, conformably to the law of the 22d of April, 1806, amounting to the sum of 9,974,398 francs, shall be distributed among the holders of the 67,900 shares actually in circulation. " 2. The profits retained conformably to the law of the 24th Germinal, year 11, and those which shall ensuefrom the third ordered to be retained by the law of the 22d of April, 1806, shall remain in reserve till otherwise dis posed of by law." A Royal Ordinance of December 6 announces several judicial appointments in the tribunals of the departments. (Non-official part.) PARIS, DEC. B.—His Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans and the Marshal Minister of War are expected on Sunday or Monday. M. Gasparin, Prefect par interim of the Rhone, has en tered on his functions. (From the Messager des Chantbres, Dec. 10.) " PARIS, DEC. 9.—Marshal Molitor has arrived at Marseilles : the greatest tranquillity prevails there, as in the adjacent departments. We do not yet know,' says a letter from Marseilles, whether the Marshal will wake a long stay among us.' " Marshal Monier, Duke of Treviso, is expected at Paris on his return from Strasburg to-morrow. " The post from Lyons has not arrived this morning. " Colonel Magnan of the 49th regiment of the line writes to us from Lyons, under the date of the sth of December, that he has neither fled nor been put in prison, as we announced after the Journals of the Rhona and the Ain. " ' I have not fled, because I had no reason to get out of the way. lam not in prison, because I have done nothing to be put there. lam merely under arrest in a room of the hotel du Parc. I hare deserved this arrest to which the Minister of War has sentenced me, and for this reason :—I ventured to appear at Lyons in uniform on the 24th of November. There was perhaps some danger in doing this. I went to offer to the magistrates the co-operation of the regiment which I command,—to restore the military authority of the King at Lyons, and to assist in maintaining order. I was compelled to this step by a feeling of devotedness to the King, of patriotism, and noble ambition. " I did not remain in the line of regular discipline adds M. Magnan. I have been punished for it,—l de serve to be so,—but I should he more cruelly punished if you misled opinion. " The annexed proclamation, which was to have been posted up at Lyons the moment my regiment entered, and which was all written by myself, was delivered to the Minister of War on the 26th of November. " Brave Lyonnese—The 49th enters your walls to co operate with you in the maintenance of order and tran. quality-. You have heard the voice of your Magistrates, listen also to mine,—it is that of a soldier, a man of ho nour. Reject the instigation of Carlists or republicans, and remain faithful to Louis Philip, the elect of the people. " The Colonel of the 49th, MAGNAN." To-morrow the Court of Assizes will have to try the action brought against the publishing Committee of the Friends of the People,-Messrs. Auty, Thouret, Blanqui, Bonias, Delauney, Gervais, Hubert, Juchant, Raspail, Rillieux, and Trelat,-first accused of a plot against the safety of the State, &c., are accused, as well as the printers, Barbier, Pierot, Rivnel, and Chaigneare, of having endeavoured to excite hatred and contempt, and the subversion of the King's Government, in a series of writings published in the name of the Society of the Friends of the People. Dr. Gervais is farther accused of resisting with arms a Commissary of Police ordered to seize one of thole writings. FRENCH FUNDS.-PARIS, DEC. 9.-Five per Cents., 96f. 80c. 7Cc. 80c. 75c. SOc. 85c.

BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, DEC. 7.—A boat, laden with 150 sacks of wheat, three tuns of beer, and three new stoves, on its way to the citadel of Antwerp, has been stopped by our troops near Burght. - - Messrs: Osy and Rettweger have just arrived here on their return from London, where they have been to nego tiate a loan. DEC. S.—Yesterday evening there was a drawing room at Conrt. The Senators and Representatives were admitted to pay their compliments of condolence to the King. We learn that the French Generals Picquet and Nempde are on the point of returning to France. General Grund ler has left Brussels. It seems that the Dutch continue to erect batteries at the entrance of the town of L'Ecluse. DEC. 9.—The Moniteur Belye has the following P.S. " We learn from good authority that the Prussian troops which were in our frontier are gone to repass the Rhine. About 18,000 men of the 4th corps are on their march for the right bank of that river, and will be cantoned in the province of Munster. On the other hand, an order of the day was read on Sunday, the 4th instant, to the Dutch, troops cantened on the frontier in the environs of Baxtel, to the effect, that, on account of the armistice, the troops were going to fall back to the distance of six leagues from the frontiers, and that the soldiers would have successively fourteen days' furlough. From 25 to 40 men per company set out on the same day to return to their homes." General Belliard and Sir R. Adair hat the honour of a private audience of the King yesterday. In the evening a Deputation of the Municipality was admitted to offer to the King a fete on the 31st of December, which his Ma jesty was pleased to accept. The Chambers have been chiefly engaged i❑ financial discussion.—Brussels Papers, Dec. 10. WARSAW, Nov. 27.—Prince Paskewitscb, Governor of Warsaw, issued on the 22d the following proclamation, in the name of his Majesty the Emperor and King : " 1. By command of his Majesty the Emperor and King, all resolutions and ordinances which were issued by the Revolutionary Government during the whole period of the rebellion, and which can no longer subsist after the re-establishment of legal authority and order in the king dom of Poland, are declared henceforth and for ever null and void. "2. In consequence of the annulling of these resolu tions and ordinances, everything is abolished that could subsist by their authority ; consequently are abolished— " (a) All institutions introduced by the Revolutionary Government. " (b) Dignities secured or ordered during the revolution, " (c) Offices; (d) Orders; (e) Insignia; and (1) Salaries. " From the publication of this notice, nobody is allowed to wear orders or insignia granted by the Revolutionary Government, or to use the titles attached to military or civil offices granted by it, on pain of incurring the utmost rigour of the laws. " 3. It is also the will of his Majesty the Emperor and King that henceforth no person in the kingdom of Poland shall wear the Polish cockade alone, but that instead of it the cockade of the Russian Empire, with which Poland has been united ever since 1815, shall be worn." Large supplies of provisions continue to arrive at War saw from different quarters. A considerable sum in gold and silver has arrived from Hamburg and Berlin for the Polish Bank. BERLIN—CHOLERA.

PETERSISURGII, Nov. 21.—The Nicholas 1., being detained by contrary winds in the Gulf of Finland, arrived in the cord of Cronstadt on the 14th instant, after a dangerous voyage of fourteen days. The next day it was towed up the Neva by two steam-boats. The quays and Isnacs-bridge were crowded with spectators, admiring; three enormous blocks of granite lying on the deck of the vessel; the largest, which is intended for the base of the column in honour of the Emperor Alexander, is 23 feet 4 inches square, by 9 feet four inches high ; it is estimated to weigh about a million of pounds. On the 19th there was a new case of cholera; on the 20th another, and one recovering; so that on the 21st there remained one patient. Henceforward we shall pub lish the accounts of cholera only once a week. Letters from Moscow of the 14th, say that the exhibi tion of Russian manufactures in the Kremlin, approved by his Maj,-sty, had beer. got ready in ten days, and that it is extremely brilliant, Above 200 manufacturers, artists, &c. had contributed to it.—St. Petersburgit Papers, Nov. 23. ELBERO, Nov. 24.—The Prussian Colonel sent hither to regulate the departure of the Polish troops has written a letter to the Polish General, in which he states that the Emperor of Russia had prohibited the Polish Generals and officers to return to Russia or to Poland, but had re- served to himself to make exceptions. The Kin.. o f Prussia bad therefore ordered him to repair to the places where the Polish troops now are, and to learn from the Generals and officers whether they are inclined to solicit the clemency of the Emperor. If they are, be is autho rised to take charge of the written applications of those gentlemen, that they may be forwarded to the Emperor. Those who decline to make such application are informed, that they will not be allowed to prolong their stay i❑ the States of his Majesty the King of Prussia, and are to in dicate the place to which they will go. Should there be any Prussian subjects in the army of the Polish General, the Colonel is to send a list of them to the Minister of the Interior. The officers are to remain in their present situations till a resolution is taken respecting them. The Colonel hopes that his Excellency the General, and all those whom this measure concerns, will be convinceclthat it proceeds from his Majesty's kind intention, and he will be happy if he shall bring this affair, entrusted to him, to a happy conclusion.—Hamburg Papers, Dec. 2.

They contain little that can im mediately interest our readers. The federal Goverment have been authorized to contract for a new loan of 2,000,000 dollars. The following paragraph from a Vera Cruz Paper of the 29th of September we submit to the reflec tions of our readers, while we confess that to us its import is not exactly intelligible, inasmuch as we Lave no prior data to judge of its correctness. " The courier from the interior has arrived ; every thing continues in a great state of tranquillity, with this exception only, if letters which we have seen can be re lied upon, the dark rumours are abroad in Mexico, which impair confidence and awake suspicion. Why this new luan of 2,000,000 of dollars? What can be the object of a movement of troops which has been announced ? Are they to concur in the establishment of sanitary measures? Peace, blessed peace ! Heaven forfend that thou shouldst be disturbed. Tie mining works have been generally and actively re sumed, and promise most beneficial results in various loca lities. Iron mines, yielding abundant ore, have beers dis covered ❑orth of the city of Durango, in the State of that name, and are now being explored with satisfactory suc cess. There is an exemption of duties, for the space of ten years granted by the Mexica❑ Congress, for all iron extracted from these mines. The establishment of a large fac t Dry in the neighbourhood of Mexico is in conternplotion. CUBA.—The New York Redactor contains an official tabular view of the population, commerce, &c. of the island of Cuba, from which it appears that the island con tains 804,487 inhabitants, of which 112,023 reside in Havannah. In addition to these numbers, the military forces in garrison amount to 26,075. The ratio of popu lation is 201 i to the square league. The amount of ex ports is 10,063,761 dollars. The revenue amounts to 8,553,895 dollars ; the expenses of the Government to 9 ,140,550 dollars.

A Royal Message was read, accompanying a project, by which, considering the uncertainty that exists whether circurustaaces will allow the men of the National Militia of the classes 1826 and 1827 to be discharged in 1832, special provisions are made respecting the levy of recruits fur 1832, which is fixed at one man out of every 300 souls. The time of the levy is not to be anticipated. The remainder of the sitting was occupied with hearing and discussing reports from the Committee of Petitions. The sitting of Saturday, Dec. 3, was likewise occupied with petitions. THE HAGUE, DEC. 4..—His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange arrived here last night from the army. His Majesty, by a decree of the 25th ult., has authorised Colonel Kleerens to raise a corps of Yagers. A number of officers who served with the Colonel in the East Indies, and a great many soldiers, have already of to serve in this corps, which is annexed for the present to the 2d bat talion of Yagers. Admiral Ziervogel is appointed Commandant at the Heider. _ The Department of the Marine by his Majesty's com mand, has determined, that from the Ist of December, this year, to the end of Februrary, 1832, all ships liable to quarantine, and appearing before the Muse and the Goree roads, shall be refused admittance there, and shall be sent to the Texel to perform quarantine in the Nieuwe Diep, and that during the above period no use shall be made of the quarantine ports of Wieringen and Gemeten. THE HAGUE, DEC. 6.---The birth-day of his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange is kept to-day with the usual testimonies of public rejoicing. The reserve battalion of the 13th division of infantry, coming from Nitneguen, passed Dordrecht in steam-boats, going to Helvoetsluys. We learn that the first ban of the m i l i t i a o f Breda and of that of Bergen-op-zoom, which w ill go to Breda for the purpose, are to march to Bois-le- Due, and join those of the latter town, so as to complete the battalion of the militia of the towns of North Brabant.

IMPROVEMENT in STEAM NAVIGATION. MANSION-HOUSE. It will be recollected, that about seven or eight weeks back, numerous complaints were made to the Lord Mayor relative to the accidents, which were constantly occurring in consequence of the rate at which steam-vessels proceeded in the river ; many wherries and barges having been swamped in the swell left by their paddles, and many lives thereby sacrificed. On Saturday a gentleman named Stevens, accom panied by several watermen, presented himself to his Lordship, and said that he had discovered a remedy for the evil complained of. He then exhibited a very beautiful model of paddles, which in their ope ration would have nearly double the power of the paddle-wheel, and which would leave the water per fectly smooth in the vessel's wake. A single glance at the model is quite sufficient to demonstrate even to a person wholly unacquainted with mechanism, that it must accomplish this very great desideratum in steam-navigation, while its extreme simplicity excites astonishment that it has not before been thought of. Mr. Stevens apologised for intruding upon his Lordship with a matter of the kind ; but The LORD MAYOR said that the object to be at tained was most important in every point of view, and for his own part it would give him great pleasure to witness the success of any plan which tended to the protection of life and property. His Lordship, after examining the model, observed that it appeared to be extremely simple, beautiful, and efficacious. A Common Councilman who was present ob served, that the plan was precisely similar to the eccentric wheel of a steam engine. Mr. Stevens said that in its operatio❑ it was so, while it avoided the friction of an eccentric wheel ; and added, that it not only left no backwater, but had also the additional advantage of avoiding that vibration which is alike disagreeable to the passengers in steam-boats and injurious to the vessels themselves. The Water-bailiff of the Thames, who happened to be present, said that this was the very thing that was required; and if the steam-companies in ex istence refused to adopt it, vessels ought to be started in opposition to them. Such a course would soon compel them to give up the paddle-wheel ; for if the vessel with the new paddles could get to Mar gate, an hour or two before them, and with a far less expenditure of fuel, they would meet with no en couragement from the public, particularly as the new paddles would obviate all the objections to steam navigation in the river. Mr. Stevens said that he applied to the LORD MAYOR, as the Chief Magistrate of the City, to lend his sanction to an improvement which must lead to a great saving of human life. He had not himself the means of placing a vessel on the Thames ; but lie thought that where the improvement was so ob vious, the City would not be backward in enabling him to bring his paddles into operation. He did not seek for pecuniary assistance; but, as an individual whose means were limited, he felt that his only chance of bringing his invention into use was by public application to the highest authority in the City. The LORD MAYOR intimated that this was a case in which the public Press ought to interfere, and he had no doubt that it would do so as soon as it learned the great utility of the invention. It was most cer tainly very simple and very beautiful. The Common Councilman observed, that its power must be infinitely beyond that of the common paddle, and the circumstance of its leaving no swell in the wake of the vessel rendered it invaluable. The only thing to be overcome was the prejudice which existed against every improvement, however valuable -that once accomplished, it must come into general operation. Another gentleman said he was present when the experiments were tried with the paddles, which proved the superiority in every respect over the paddle wheel, which was also corroborated by the watermen. Mr. Stevens then presented to his Lordship copies of testimonials in favour of the invention from Pro fessor Millington, Mr. Toplis, Captain Low, R.N., and various other scientific and naval gentlemen, and obtained permission of his Lordship to renew the subject at an early period. FISHMONGERS' COMPANY. On Saturday, the 10th, an elegant entertainment was given at the Albion, Aldersgate-street, on the occasion of admitting Lords Althorp and John Russell, Members of the Company. Before the company proceeded to the dinner-room, Mr. MILLS stated, that the fishmongers bad always been friends of liberal principles, and supporters of Parliamentary Reform; that at different times they had presented the freedom of the Company to public men, whose conduct was directed by these principles, to mark their approbation of such conduct and principles. That the Duke of Sussex, Lord Spencer, Earl Grey, Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Brougham, and some Members of the House of Commons, had been admitted to the fraternity on these grounds ; and he had the pleasure to state, that the Court had unani mously elected Lords Althorp and John Russell, for their exertions to carry into law the Bill for effecting an efficient Reform in the Commons House of Parliament, which, al though delayed, he hoped would soon become the law of the land. Lords Althorp and John Russell took the usual oath on admission to the Company, but made no reply to the Prime Warden's speech. The company then proceeded to the dinner-room. Charles Mills, the Prime Warden, was in the Chair, supported on his right by the Duke of Sussex, Lord Althorp, Admiral Sir Charles Middleton, Sir Thomas Denman, the Hon. Mr. Bouverie, Mr. Alderman Wood, M.P., &c. &c. ; on the left by the Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord John Russell, Messrs. Hume, Warburton, John Waid, and Easthope, M.P., and about seventy other Members of the Company and their friends. The dinner was most sumptuous, and the evening was spent convivially, with appropriate speeches from the prin cipal characters there, all expressive of their attachment to, and determination to support Reform. Lords Grey, Holland, and Brougham, and some other fishmongers, expected to have been present. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. y o u have fallen into a gross error in stating that Lord Althorp said on Friday that " a treaty of commerce and navigation between France and this country was in a forward state, and that he E4l, every reason to believe it would soon be brought to a satisflasry conclusion." My question referred to the trel r /Inciuded in 1f426, for regulating the navigation betWeenliie two countries, which had been violated by France from"the'time it came into operation, and since submitted to by ns to the great prejudice of our shipping interest. In the last Session of Parliament I was informed that the differences grow i ng out o f t h at treaty were un d er dis cussion, and it now appears that they are not yet brought to any satisfactory conclusion. I agree with you, that " nothing can be more absurd than to suppose that our national prosperity must increase in proportion as that of our neighbours decline"—except, perhaps, the supposition, that our manufactures may soon expect to reap the fruits of better counsels, which to operate beneficially, must be reciprocal. 1 should not have troubled you with this statement, but that it appeared to me desirable to correct an important wis -statement. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Adelpbi, Dee. 10. G. R. ROBINSON. We understand that Don PEDRO and Louis Prim'. have really discussed the propriety of a treaty of marriage between Donna Manta and the youngest son of the French KING, but that nothing positive will be suf fered to transpire unless Donna MARIA should recover the Crown of Portugal, and the Cortes consent to annul the law which prohibits marriage with a foreigner. The fortune which Louis PHILIP would give with his younger son in marriage in this case would, it is said, be 750,000 francs per annurc.—an enorit.ons sum for Portugal.— Count Journal.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sfa,—Shortly after the Asiatic cholera appeared l e Sunderland, I wrote to the Board of Health there, gifi r l a description of the hot air bath, and recommending to use, having (as expressed in my letter in the Bath 1 1 ! raid) treated what I term a similar complaint in Ind' s ': with similar means and the wished-for success. The lowing extract from the Sunderland Herald dated 1 4 ° 1r. 19, has been my only reply I beg leave to remark that I have constructed an air-heat i . n ,‘, apparatus, for the use of cholera patients, a gre ea bly to the o i, atructions kindly given me by Captain Carden, R.N., which savers the purpose most effectually.
