HINTS TO BRITISH PEERS, By 0. P. Q. I am not very fond of writing to my betters, or else I should be tempted to address a letter to the PEERS Of GREAT BRITAIN! Without 'Paning to offend them, I should begin my ad. riress to them somewhat in this style - Loans—l have the pleasure to inform you, t . t Air- friends and brothers, the Peers of France, 1 ,- hit yourd e d , b y a majority of THIRTY-THREE VOTES, th ve d eCi 7 RENCH PEERAGE SHALL NO LONGFit BE at the I.IY !! ! This decision my Lords, was "eREDITAnIy yesterday, the 27th December, 1831, d art er e ttroe to c,:thened and solemn discussion o f several a fen he French Peers were called upon to de- It Ys !

NTy PEERS said YES ;' and Six PEERS *ld SEV;;ve no opinion at all; and thus, by a ma - :I I TIIIRTY-THREE VOTES, it was decided that an Hereditary Peerage is incompatible with the age in which we live—with liberty, civilization, and the progress of the schoolmaster, whose lessons you , 40 cordially hate, and who se p r i nc ipl es , y ou w h o 'eve privileges and monopolies, have such good rea l% to fear." And if I were not afraid of offending my Lord Shaftesbury and my Lord Eldon—my Lord Londonderry, and the hereditary Duke of Newcastle, I should follow up my congratula tions with a word of admiration to the following effect "My Lords I. Learn from this decision five !—First, that you cannot resist the progress of Public opinion; second, that a Peer is but an unit as well as a Commoner, and that units have no chance with the millions ; third, that the French Peerage 'tis lost its hereditary character by opposing, for 1.5 Years, public opinion ; fourth, that you have now Your d a y of probation before the millions shall decid e upon your fate; and fifth, that if you con tinue to resist the progress of constitutioual freedom, s ad the granting of those ameliorations which would bysatisfy and cheer, you als o will be sw e pt awa y by torrent, and before the 27th December, 1832, liritish Hereditary Peerage may be a mere fact of uistory." If I so addressed the Peers of Great Britain, it Would be as their friend and their counsellor, 4 ,°(1 not a s their enemy or th e i r h a t er . l am no hat er of a rich man because he is rich, nor of a n obleman because he is a Peer ; but I am sure ° f one thing, that if rich men and Peers will not '°otribute of their wealth and influence to the gener a l good, the social revolution which is now organising in Europe beneath the surface of hu man society will sweep away those riches and , c °se titles, and leave their present possessors th Poor indeed !" It is because, then, I think , a t the gradations of society are desirable, and b ei , a ca the I wish to preserve, and not to destroy ; 4 1 'd because I prefer reparation to destruction, no w moderate measures to a revolution, that I say to the British Peers—" My Lords, 154 blic op i n i on i s t oo s t rong f or you — pu bli c opi vti.'°o demands Reform of Parliament ; make a ir lue of necessity, and yield—or else, in De t"lber, 1832, among the events of the closing 3 1 41. ) we shall have to record an historical fact— I!VMUCTION OF BRITISH HEREDITARY qRAGE!"--Morning Chronicle. t The person of the LORD MAYOR was regarded sacred in 1479, that ROBERT BYFELDE, one of the t baying presumed to kneel close to that Magis rf4c at St. Erkenwald's sh r i ne , d ur i ng th e ra g e of a :: 4 (11111 plague, was complained of to the Court of Alder t)' and fined fifty pounds towards the repairs of the conduits.

MACLEAN, Secretary. We have been favoured with a copy of the following letter : " Stu,—Since I had the honour to communicate to the Lords of the Privy Council the unanimous expression of the sentiments of the Board of Health, established at Sunderland, on the occasion of the re call of Dr. Dann from his official duties in this neighbourhood, the Board have been informed that Dr. Gibson, who succeeded him at Sunderland, but whose presence and superintendence were recently required at Newcastle, is now permanently stationed at that place. " Dr. Gibson was the active coadjutor of Dr. Daun in all his humane and well-directed exertions during the greater part of his residence in these towns. They laboured together and separately in visiting the patients afflicted with cholera at their homes, and when admitted into the hospitals esta blished by Dr. Daun for their reception. " But it was in the direction of the Sunderland Hospital, especially that Dr. Gibson displayed an intelligence, a zeal, and an assiduity, which seconded the views of the Board and of Dr. Daun, in the ablest manner. " Upon Dr. Gibson, for some time previously to the departure of Dr. Daun from Sunderland; was devolved the troublesome duty of drawing up the daily report of cholera cases, from the returns made by the medical practitioners of these towns; and the energy which he evinced when entrusted with the superintendence or every measure directed by the Central Board of Health, for checking the progress of cholera amongst us, proved the best substitute for the necessary absence of his friend and colleague Dr. Daun ; and deservedly entitles him to a distinct expression of their regard, and of their united thank s from the Members of this Board. " I have the honour to he, &c. &c. &c. (Signed) " G. ROBINSON, Chairman. " Sunderland Board of Health, Dec. 28, 1831. " C. C. Greville, Esq." We have just received, by Express, the Mes sager des Chambres, dated yesterday, from which we give the following : Considerable sales h we taken place at the opening of the Bourse, and the Funds have receded. It was soon, however, known, that the Syndical Chamber had paid their respects, or the money, to the Minister of War, and that the Marshal bad assured the deputation that they rnigh t enter upon the operations with perfect security, because th chances of war were less probable. such an assurance from such a source was well calculated to dissipate the unplea sant tumours which had been industriously circulated' for some days, when the abundant calls for money sock were in preference to gambling speculations. The priof the Three per Cents. .rose thirty-five cents. ; Five per Cents. the same. , The speech of the American PRESIDENT is a document which may truly be called refreshing, as it offers to a mind fatigued with the contem plation of the existing impediments to social happiness in Europe, the spectacle of the rapid progress of the Republic of the United States, towards that zenith of political perfection which the people of Europe still behold far away in the distance. It presents a cheerful picture of the happy results of a really free Government, and gives another triumphant refutation to the appre hensions of evil entertained by some, from the prospect of a state of things in which the people may wield in their own hands the substantial sceptre of power. In their foreign relations, the United States have, as usual, brought to successful issues the most part of their negotiations, because they have uniformly pursued that straight-forward course of policy, which a nation can only follow that is perfectly free from diplomatic entanglements. The end of the foreign policy of the United States is simply the advancement of the inte rests of the American people, and hence we see that a language is held to Spain and Por tugal, and has been used towards this country, manifesting a vigorous determination to disregard any other considerations than those which are forced upon the Government by the will of the American people. The sound policy of neu trality during European wars exposed American commerce to injuries at the hands of almost every European Power, and the negotiations carried on to obtain indemnity for those injuries have been most successful, because the American claims were, with some exceptions, founded in justice, and pursued with energy and vigour. The PRESIDENT holds out threats to Spain and Portugal which, it would seem, those Govern ments would do well to take warning from in time, for there can be little doubt that they have both dealt rather too unceremoniously with the property of American subjects. With other countries the American relations appear on the whole pacific, and it is especially satisfactory to notice the PRESIDENT'S an nouncement of the mutual good feeling and amicable relations with Great Britain, which he cordially hopes may not be interrupted —a hope in which we are sure the British Go vernment heartily concurs. The PRESIDENT concludes his Foreign Budget by recommending a revision of the Consular system—a revision which is equally needed by other countries, so as to adapt the Consular duties to the commercial wants of the present state of society, rather than allow their offices to remain expensive antiqua rian memorials of the usages of the middle ages. The removal of the Indians appears to be going on with rapidity, and all of the States will, no doubt, be soon " disembarrassed of the aboriginal population." There is something in the practice indicated by this phrase, a little re pulsive to humane sentiments, since we see the progress of civilization dispossessing by con quest the natives of the soil, and that such dis possession is rapidly leading to the extermination of the native race. It appears that the inter mixture with Europeans has constantly led to the extinction of Indian tribes, instead of raising them from barbarism to a state of civilization, and we are almost brought to think that some races of mankind are never destined to rise from that state of subjugation to which their physical in feriority to other races appears to have condemned them. We, therefore, do not partake in the PRESIDENT'S hopes of civilizing the red men, but fear that destruction, not civilization, awaits that unhappy race of creatures. The financial accounts are, as usual, as gra tifying as under a system of real economy may be expected. Within four years the national debt of the United States will be wholly extinguished, and steps are to be forthwith taken, in anticipation cf that event, to re model the tariff and materially to reduce the taxation. Then will the United States present an enviable contrast to the heavily indebted States of the old world, and to none more than Great Britain, upon whom the tre mendous eight hundred millions are a continuing incubus, pressing with a heavy hand upon the energies of the industrious portion of the nation. The law of imprisonment is to be modified, so as to restrict its operation to cases of fraudulent concealment of property, which may remind us how greatly we are behind the United States in regard to our inconsiderate and mischievous law of arrest. In regard to the proposed sim plification of public accounts, and the extension of the Judiciary system to distant provinces, as well as the consideration which the PRESIDENT recommends of the Bank monopoly, we may also take some casual hints from the tenour of the Message. The proposed amendments in the election and term of office of the PRESIDENT and VICE-PRESIDENT of the States are such as will probably receive a considerable share of dis cussion. It is important, on the one hand, to secure to those Magistrates, especially the former, the dignified superiority to ephemeral applause, which the present mode and term of election do not, perhaps, afford, while, on the other hand, nothing can be more material than to resist strenuously any encroachment tending to endanger the preservation of that entire repub lican freedom on which the integrity and prospe rity of the United States (so interesting and im portant to the old world as well as the new) must, under GoD's blessing, always mainly depend. The people have yet their ledger in which they have just entered to the debit of FERDINAND of Spain the death of Toaavos and his fifty-two companions. Pa tience !—Lc Corsaire. AN ITCHING PALM.—It is not to be won dered at that the Bishops, from a habit acquired by fte quent confirmation, have an itching for laying their hands on every thing that comes in their way, for this kind of imposition has always been one of their principal functions. VICE-CHANCERY COURT-(THIS . DAY ) His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR, notwithstanding his great assiduity, will not be able to dispose of all the bankrupt petitions set down for hearing before him, as wa. anticipated, to-day ;it is now expected that his Honour will sit during nearly the whole of next week, having in his list of to-day nearly thirty petitions, and several heavy ones are specially appointed for Monday week. Nothing of the slightest public interest came before the Court this morning previous to our reporter's leaving. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(TIIIS DAY.) An old man, named John TVooller, was indicted for as Phoebe, his wife, on the 9th instant. The complainant, who seemed at least her husband's junior by twenty years, related a long list of grievances during the seven years they had been married. lie we. a pensioner, and always spent his pension in liquor; after the money was gone, he was in the habit of taking her clothes and pawning them ; no less than eleven times bad she been obliged to redeem the articles, and besides all these he was in the constant habit of beating her. On the 9th instant be came home drunk, knocked her down, and gave her two black eyes because she had no money to give him. She was now deterinieed to live no longer with him, and she claimed the assistance of the Magistrates in affording her protection from his ill-treatment. The CHAIRMAN asked the prisoner what he had to say to the charge ?—The poor old man seemed quite con founded at his situation, but at length stammered out an apology to his wife, and solemnly promised never to be guilty of the like conduct again. The CHAIRMAN advised the complainant to accept the apology, with the addition of security against further vio lence, to which she with evident reluctance complied. The defendant was found guilty, and ordered to enter into sureties in the amount of 501., to keep the peace for two years. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(MS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, DRC.

The only article they contain worth noticing is as follows : Extract of a letter from Vienna, dated Dec. 13:— " General Count Clamm has returned from Berlin, where he was despatched on a special mission. The greatest friendship prevails at this moment between our Court and that of Berlin, a circumstance of the highest importance fur the repose of Europe, and, above all, for Germany." Charleston Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee.house to the 4itii December, three days later. FRO3I SUMATRA.—The ship Candice, which arrived on Monday from Sumatra, reports that the natives and Malays on the coast had been much embol dened by the success of their attacks on the ship Friendship, of Salem, and appeared to beleve that the Americans had the disposition but not the power to resist the trade with them. The ship Augusta left Qualls about July for Padang, ignorant of the attack on the Friendship, and the preparations making by the natives to attack her. The Barbadoes Papers state that up to the 7th of October the subscriptions amounted to 12,843/. Friday, the Bth of October, was to be observed by the people of Barbadoes as a day of solemn thanksgiving. nil: FUNDS.

THE CHOLERA AT GATESTItAD AND NEWCASTLE. (FROM OUR ovvx cunazaroximPr.) NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Dsc. 29 I am rejoiced to be able to state that the cholera at Gateshead is much less virulent than it was. The report of this day, Dec. 29th, it is true, states that there are twenty-nine new cases, but there are fif een recoveries, and only eight deaths. The panic is now greatly subsided, and I hope we shall every day re ceive more favourable accounts. It is remarkable, and deserving particular attention, that the wind here changed on Saturday night, and became due North, continuing the same on Sunday. 'Till this change there was not even a case of suspi pic;on at Gateshead. Immediately after it the cholera burst out with unexampled fury. The wind to wards Monday evening changed a little to the East, and the dis,ase reached Whickham and the neigh bourhood. The conclusion appears to be inevitable that the miasma was conveyed by the wind. I have always stated that the filth in many of the streets, the ill-feeding of the lower class, and the great drinking of bad spirits, more especially on Christmas eve, in my opinion were the immediate pred:sposing causes to the ready reception of the disease. To this I may add that many intelligent persons here attribute much of the mischief which has been occasioned by the cholera, both in Gates head and in this town, to the fact of the food of many of the poor people consisting almost entirely of tea and other slops, the tea being in many cases a villainous and deleterious compound, with scarcely a particle of the plant in it the name of which it bears. That such opinion is in a great measure well founded you are compelled to believe from the uniformity with which the complaint seizes persons who live on such miserable food, while those who have more nourishing diet, and are temperate in their habits, escape. The report for Newcastle to-day states that there are twenty-two new cases, fifteen recoveries, and eight deaths, leaving sixty-six cases under treatment. But of these sixty-six it is acknowledged eighteen are in the township of Bykern, so that properly there are not more than forty-eight in Newcastle. A very considerable portion of these are cases of diarrhcea, as you will be convinced from the follow ing copy of a handbill, which was issued this morn ing CHOLERA. " It being the opinion of the medical member, of the Board of Health that cholera frequently commences with diarrhoea, it is earnestly recommended that every indivi dual, on being attacked with the slightest complaint in the bowels, should instantly apply for medical aid at some one of the Hospitals, or at the Dispensary, where medical gen tlemen will be in constant attendance. " The Dispensary is in Low Friar street ; All Saints Hospital is at the North Shore ; St. John's Hospital, St. Andrew's Hospital, and the Westgate llospital, are at St. John's Poor-house ; the St. Nicholas Hospital is at the Old Castle, in the Castle Garth. " Mayor's Chamber, Dec. 28, 1831." Another handbill has been issued by the paro chial Board of All Saints parish, entreating that all poor persons attacked with the cholera may be con veyed to the Hospital without delay. The only chance of recovery undoubtedly is in receiving irn. mediate medical assistance. COURT CIRCULAR.

Von Anercho was chosen superintendent of the navigation of the Rhine, took the oaths and was installed in his office. As the Committee, in one of its preceding protocols, declared that it would break up at the end of the year, it is not likely that the points that are still under consideration will be settled by that time. The French Commissioner is et Pads and will not return here till the Rath. The Prus sian Commissioner is also absent, but is expected to return to he present at the concluding sitting. The price of corn has been failing far some market days, which is attributed to the hope that peace will he maintained. CAssate, Dee. 15.—You have, of course, heard ;Tom some of your correspondents of the disturbances that took place here on the ith inst„ which have endangered the tranquillity of the whole country, and unhappily caused a breach between oar young Regent and the people. Party spirit runs so high that I have waited a few days to send you the following report :—" A public testimony of respect intended for the Electresa (mother of the Regent) had drawn together a greet concourse of people, about six o'clock, near the theatre, who meant to receive her with all demonstrations of respect, on her arrival, and to accompany her with torches when she should leave the theatre. It was publicly known the day before that this plan wag in agitation, and nobody ought to have been sur prised at it, becanse the inhabitants of this city have fre quently shewn their respeet for the Princess in a similar manner. Certain laersons, however, in the confidence of, the Prince, seem to have seized on this as a welcome op portunity to excite in his mind apprehensions of a distur bance ; for which reason orders were given to the troops on the 7th in the morning, or, as some say, on the day before, to bold themselves in readiness. The Electress on her appearance was welcomeel with the liveliest ac clamations both by the audience in the theatre and the crowd at the door, The troops immediately were seen to leave their haeracks, and to occupy several of the streets leeding to the theatre. All the troop had bell cartridges. This unconatitutional intervention of the mie litary without any reason, even before the civic guard v-as called out, which hail always been found efficient in criti cal tnomentse excited more surprise than fear, and it was therefore deemed quite ridiculous when the Director of the Police, M. Grisler, read the Riot Act to a few people near the Palace who dispersed readily. The few people assembled near the Palace were for the most part drawn together as usual to see the Prince drive to the theatre. This however had no connection with what occurred at a different place two hours later. The Director of the Police bad called on the Commander of the civic guard to call it out immediately. The latter, thongh he saw no reason, ordered the drummer to leeet to atm.% but the civic guard, dispersed it all parts of the city, could not of comese avemble so quickly as the sollaers from their barracks. Huwever a sufficient number Came to clear the streets near the theatre. The police immediately ordered the C omman der to drive away the citizens near the theatre, :and oblige them to go hteine He, however, hesitated as the people were perftazily quiet, and th ere was no reason for the violent Intemperan ce of the armed force. It was certainly irregular to call on the Civic Guard after the troops had been draw,;, out, as the duties of the Guard cease when the 'troops are called in. The Director of the Police affirms that he now read the Riot Act several tim,s, aeunitmidtyisscuesrpteati.tned y th a i n twhat with the noise of the crowd an d the troop s , an d t h e trampling of t h e horses of the cavalry, very fe w , if any, could hear. All at once, however, when evil, just as the people coming out of the theatre greatly increased the crowd, orders were riven to the shades du corps, anti the trump e t s soun d ing they-galloped down the street i n close columne, and cut at tll that came in their way —men, women, and children, vithout distinction."
