FOX-HUNTING A CERTAIN CURE FOR THE GouT.—A gentleman residing near Melton Mowbray has for some time been laid up with the r h euma ti c gou t, w h en h e thought of a remedy which might, perhaps, effect a cure, and which has had the desired effect. On Monday the 3d instant, Mr. Holyoake Goodricke's hounds met at Kirby-gate, when the gentleman went to see them throw off, but being a true bred sportsman, he followed the hounds to Cream Gorse, where they found a fine dog' fox, and went off in grand style for Garatree-hills, then round for Burton Lazars, and across for New Guadaloupe, and passed the navigation just below Sysonby, when pug shook himself, and rode off again for Sir Harry's cover, leaving that to the left , went in the direction of Melton Spinney, but was at length captured in a large field near to Lord Plymouth's lodge, after a sharp run of thirty minutes. The gentleman, forgetting all about his malady, was allowed by an eye-witness to have cleared more fen ces t h an any other sportsman in the field, and which, it is said, has entirely cured him of the gout. THE TEA TRADE. Thursday there was a very numerous attendance of the merchants and others connected with the China trade, at the Commercial Sale Rooms, Mincing-lane, in consequence of several large sales of teas, imported direct from Canton, Bombay, and Singapore, under the new system of free trade, and which were bonded for home consumption, having been announced to take place. Mr. W. FRY said he wished to call the attention of the trade - to a subject of some importance before the sales com menced. The trade were aware that considerable anxiety was felt as to the course the Directors of the East India Company would pursue to dispose of the remaining stock of teas held by the Company. A strong desire had also been expressed by the trade to know whether the Company intended to alter in any way the upset price. In order to ascertain the views of the East India Company on these subjects a letter had been addres , ;ed to the Court of Di rectors, to which an answer bad that morning been received. If it was the pleasure of the meetin g he would read the letter to the Court of Directors and their answer. The letter addressed to the Chairman . and Deputy Chairman of the Company was as follows : "We take the liberty of addressing you respecting the course which the East India Company intend to pursue in the disposal of the remainder of their teas subsequent to Decem ber. On this subject it is highly important that the buyers should be informed in order to enable them to regulate their purchases at the ensuing sale. We, therefore, request that you will, at as early a period as may be practicable, afford as much information as it may be in your power to give.—We are, with great respect, &c. ( Signed) J. SANDERSON, and the rest of the Nov. 10. Committee of the Tea Trade. To this letter the following answer was received : " East India House, Nov. 20, 1834. " Sir,—H iving laid before the Court of Directors of the East India Company your letter, dated the 10th instant, I am commanded to acquaint you in reply, that there will be no al teration in the upset prices of tea at the sale in March, 1835, and that the quantity of Company's tea that may then be of fered will be fixed -at the usual period, with reference to the state and prospects of the market at the time.—l am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, ( Signed) "P. AUBER, Secretary. " John Sanderson, Esq." The sales then commenced. A question arose on the teas imported ex Palambam, by Messrs. C. Hancock and Co., involving the policy of continuing the present. scale of duties. Mr. TRAVERS said before these teas were offered he really wished to have the opinion of the trade as to the correctness with which they were designated by the in spector of teas at the Custom-house. The teas now before the trade were allowed to pass as boheas, and, of course, with the bohea duty; but he called upon the trade to state whether they were not, in fact, congou .teas. This was another instance which showed the necessity of having a fixed scale of duties. Mr. Wybrow, the Government in spector, had called these teas bolieas. but in fact they were congous, and he would appeal to the most experienced brokers in the trade if that was not the fact. Here was, according to his opinion, another instance of the extreme folly of the present system of duties, for the Government inspector bad, from ignorance or negligence, determined that to be bohea which was to his mind congou, and no thing but congou—at least it was what he had been accus tomed to call congou ; that he had spoken to several persons upon the subject, who coincided in this opinion, with one exception, and he was bound to state it, but this ex ception indeed only made the case stronger, and proved that a variable duty, determinable by opinion only, was capricious and unjust. It might he very convenient, per haps, to buy this tea at the bohea duty, but the Govern ment would suffer greatly by it, and the uncertainty in which such a precedent must involve every future importer would prove most injurious to some parties and bring great confusion into the trade. He had no wish to raise any un necessary discussion upon this matter, but it was an impor tant point to notice at the commencement of a system, and it was quite worth while to put upon record the opinion of the trade upon such a subject, supposing that be stated the question rightly, " that one of the greatest evils in commercial legislation consisted in the uncertainty and fluctuation of those burdens which are affixed upon trade by the Government." Mr. -Tint, the selling hroki,7, replied fiat the question was, in his opinion, sufficiently of the bohea flavour to be termed bohea tea, and he had therefore entered it as such, but be admitted it was a case of difficulty. 11r. WILLIAMS, the senior broker of the trade, asserted on the contrary that it was congou and nothing else, and that there was not a particle of behea tea in it. Mr. GIBBS, Mr. WATms, and various other brokers and dealers, all concurred in the latter opinion, and this in deed seemed to be the prevailing opinion of the room, and the former gentleman stated that it was evidently a case of uncertainty, and one of those which he feared, as the trade have anticipated, likely to occur frequently, and in which the importer will be exposed to much vexation as well as great loss or profit, according to the humour of the in spector at the moment of pronouncing his fiat. Mr. HOOPER did not think it fair to raise such a ques tion at the merchants' sales, as such a point had never been urged at the sales by the East India Company, where teas of a similar quality to those now offered had been sold as bohea.. He thought it would be more fair to allow the sale to proceed. The sales were continued until Mr. IticuAnD Gums mounted the rostrum, and stated that some withdrawals must take place. Mr. TRAVERS asked why these lots were withdrawn ? lie had heard it whispered, and he was ware Mr. Gibbs would inform him rightly, that these lots having been en tered as congou tea, the Government inspector had deter mined that they were not congou, but, not being enabled to say what tea they were, he intended to class them as un enumerated tea, subject to a duty of 3s. per lb. Now, he would inform the trade that the very same tea had been en tered, approved, and sold as congou tea, only a week or ten days since, by another broker ; and how was it that the in spector—for it was the same inspector to each—had so sud denly altered his mind about it ? Mr. GIBBS cheerfully answered the question. What Mr. Travers had stated was perfectly true. It was the same tea that had been sold by another party at a duty of 2s. 2d ; and for his principal to be taxed with a duty of 3s. within so sh or t a p erio d, was certainly a great hardship. A remonstrance was now before the Board of Customs upon the subject, and it was on this account that the tea was withdrawn. Mr. ANTROBUS stated that the whole of this confusion arose out of a scale of duties. At this port it appeared the Government officers chose to term eongou tea either bohea tea or unenumei ated tea, at their pleasure ; thus making the importer pay Is. 6d. per lb., or i9s. per lb., ac cording to their caprice ; and in Liverpool the officers had made similar mistakes ; but there it had taken a different course, for they bad determined, in a parcel of tea just imported, to affix a congou duty to bohea tea, and this had, of course, produced a serious remonstrance from the importer ; but these things were slow of determination by the superior powers, and the importer in question was at this moment sufferirr , from the delay. He hoped, now that the whole question began to be better understood by the outports, that the tea trade of London would, at the next Session, receive their cordial support in obtaining a change of this absurd law. Mr. STYAN said that the evils arising out of this system were not confined to the cases referred to by other gentle men. There were many petty vexations and exactions practised which were not seen by the public, all of which would harass trade, and enhance the value of the article, for, in proportion as the importer suffered, the public must pay. A case had occurred to himself very lately. He bad entered as bohea a parcel of tea, being the very same, only to a different importer, as had been entered and 831 d by Mr. Thompson, only a week before, as bohea tea, and approved of as Bohea by Mr. Wybrow ; but, in his own case, Mr. Wybrow took the liberty of altering his opinion, and de termined it should pay the congou duty. And what was the result of such a change of opinion, but that lie (Mr. Styan) had been desired to pay a fine of two guineas for this alleged offence. Against this monstrous proceeding he had, as yet in vain, protested—but he feared there was no chance of success. Mr. Wybrow's dictum, it seemed, must be the law of the land.—(Hear, and " Shame"). The sales then proceeded to their termination. The teas imported by Messrs. C. Hancock and Company realised the highest prices. The flowery pekoes fetched 4s. 10d. per lb., and the Padre° souchong from ss. lid. to ss. sd. per lb. The other teas sold well. It was remarked that the result of the sale fully supported the observations made by indi viduals who took part in the day's discussion relative to the scale of duties, the bohea teas selling from 2s. 11 d. to 3s. did. in bond, while the ordinary descripti9ns of congous fetched only from Is. to ls. 6d. per lb. ; the former being liable to the duty of ls. 6d. per lb., and tly: latter to the duty of 2s. 2d. per lb. Lord Stanley entertained the Duke of Richmond, Sir James Graham, and a sale party at dinner at Knowsley- Hall on Friday last. BAIL COURT, N0v.22. TAE KING U. BANBURY. A mandamus had been moved for a few days since, calling upon Mr. Banbury to take upon himself the office of Cham berlain to the City of Coventry, to which he had been duly elected. Mr. Banbury had refused to serve the office, and sent notice to the Mayor to that effect. By the bye-laws of the Corporation any person elected to that office is liable to a penalty of 201. for refusing to take upon himself the office ; and notwithstanding this fine he is not excused. Mr. Banbury had not paid the fine, and the Corporation were most desirous to have that gentlemen's services. Mr. HILL now moved for a rule to stay proceedings, in order that the books of the Corporation might be inspected, that the origin and validity of this, bye-law may be ascertained. The Town Clerk had refused the inspecti ni of the Corpora tion books.—Rule granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 22. WATSON AND ANOTHER V. BEACH. The plaintiffs in this case were the assignees of a bankrupt named Levy, a coal-merchant, who bad carried on business at the Phoenix Wharf, Whitefriars. The defendant was a barge builder and letter. The bankrupt had sold the defendant some of his barges, and then hired them of him again, along with others. They had upon them the bankrupt's name, and were registered in his name at . the office of the Watermen's Com pany. On his becoming a bankrupt the defendant obtained possession of them ; but the assignees sued him for them, as being property in the order and disposition of Levy at the time of his bankruptcy, and therefore, under the Bankrupt Act, the property of the assignee. The defence set up was a custom in the trade for coal-merchants to hire their barges, and that per sons dealing with the bankrupt would not conclude., from seeing the barges in his possestion, that they were his prOperty. The jury affirmed the custom to be proved, and found for the de fendant. Early in this Term a new trial was moved for, first on the ground of misdirection, and next that the verdict was against evidence. Mr. Sergeant COLERIDGE now showed cause against the rule. Mr. Sergeant TALTOURD spoke in support of the rule for a new trial.—Rule for a new trial discharged. COMMON PLEAS. (SITTINGS AFTER TERM.)

LOVELACE. This information arose out of a very singular bequest in the will of a merchant of the name of Lovelace, who died at Ma laga, in Spain. This gentleman appointed two friends, of the name of Ward, in London`,Aepositaries of all his property, which he directed to be invested in the British funds ; and after a bequest of an annuity of 100 guineas, he directed his trustees to use their endeavour to apply the proceeds of the remainder of his property towards the proper education and maintenance of all such poor youths as should be related to him, and towards that of those who should be in indigent cir cumstances, it being his intention that the necessitous should be relieved ; and should any poor female relative of his hap pen to marry, and there was an excess of income, that there should be 501. or 100/. given to her according to her neces sities ; but that must be without interfering with the education of the youths, as in such case the same should be withheld until the funds should have produced a sufficient income for tht3 purpose. He then directed a loan from the capital not exceeding 5001. at a time for the advancement of any youth. By the Master's report it was ascertained there were six next of kin and thirty relations of the testator interested in the will. All these persons having been made parties to the suit, the cause now came on to receive the further direction of the Court. Sir WILLIAM HORNE (with Mr. LYNCH), for the Crown, contended that this was a charitable bequest. Sir EDWARD SUDDEN, for the next of kin, said it would be singular if a gift to relations should be confined to persons within the statute of distributions, and a gift to poor relations should be extended beyond that class. His HONOUR observed, that where a testator means a dis tribution, to all times, of a fund of an eleemosynary nature to an extensive class of a particular description, there is cha rity. A reference to the Master was directed, to approve of a scheme for the management of the charity. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Nov. 22. THE KING V. HALLS AND MINSIIVI.L. Sir J. SCARLETT applied to the Court for a rule to show cause why a mandamus should not be issued, commanding the defendants, two Magistrates of the county of Middlesex, to issue warrants of distress against the goods of certain in habitants of St. Martin's parish. It would be in the recol lection of the Court, that there had lately been several trials as to, the validity of the select vestry system in this parish, and that the verdict in the last case was against the exist ence of the select vestry.—Rule granted.

GRANI; DINNER LEIGI-T, t:0 L7°., ~~-.-__ : which the stewards arc By an admirable arrangement, yty entitled to great praise, by placing five taties..:: n g thwa y -s down the room, one cross-table at the head, and othertable: in the gallery and orchestra, accommodation was afforded to 520 per sons. The dinner was intended to have been a cold one, but venison poured in in such quantities from the higher class of Liberals, that it was determined to have hot soup and hot venison, with cold provender of every description. Although so many persons were present, all took their seats without the slightest confusion, and at four o'clock the chairman, W. H. flyett, Esq., M. P. for Stroud, entered the room, accompanied by the following gentlemen, who were severally greeted with the loudest plaudits :—Lord Segrave, the Hon. Craven Berkeley, M. P., the Hon. H. Moreton, M. P., the Hon. A. Moreton, M. P., J. Martin, Esq., M. P., J. Phillpotts, Esq. , M. P. 'G. P. Scrope, Esq , M.P., C. H. Tracey, Esq., M. P., M.. Wood, Esq., M.P., C. H. T. Leigh, Esq., D. Ricardo, Esq., Captain Harward, R.N., Major Snow Paul, Captain Gray, Captain Jenner, Captain Prohvn, J. A. G. Clark, W. S. Evans, E. Holland, C. Hanford, T. Kingscote, D. Maclean, E. Sheppard, E. Sheppard, jun., J. Watts, H. Wyatt, Esqrs-• Rev. Messrs. Capel, Hayward, Hawkins, Smith, Wilks, Thomas, &c., &sc. W. H. Stanton, Esq., officiated as Vice-President. Besides the above, the Mayor and several members of the Corporation of Gloccster were present. On the cloth being removed, The CHAIRMAN rose and addressed the company. Gen tlemen, I give you " The King, his Majesty William IV." —( Hisses and cheers.) Gentlemen, " The King."—( Cries of " No, no ;" ultimately, however, the toast was drank with four time four. ) The ClisseatarA—l now give you " The Queen."—(Cries of " No, no," 'and hisses and uproar completely drowning the very few cheers.) The CHAlRMAN—Gentlemen, I have now to propose ano ther member of the Royal Family, " The Duke of Sussex"— ( Tremendous cheering)—an illustrious individual, who has been at all times, in public life, as much the strong advocate of the rights and liberties of the people, as in his private life he has been the indefatigable patron of science and literature in this country. Gentlemen, " The Duke of Sussex, and the rest of the Royal family."—(On the latter part of the toast being added, the cheering very much diminished.) The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said—Gentle men, I now rise to propose the toast of the evening, " The health of Mr. Leigh."—( This was received with tremendous shouts, and cries of " Again, again.") The Chairman having pronounced an eulogium on Mr. Leigh, the health was drunk with immense applause. Mr. LEIGH, in returning thanks, said, " Gentlemen, though I was not to represent you, I did hope the Melbourne Admi nistration would have existed, and that we should have en joyed the very important consequences which we anticipated from the Reform Bill. Those hopes are at an end for a time, but I cannot believe for a permanency—(Loud cheers)—for I never can forget that the rod is in your hands since the passing of that great measure, and that this is merely an exhibition of what I believe to be real weakness ; and, however, the elec tions may turn up in the event of a dissolution, I have no doubt the strength of the Reformers, as established by the Reform Bill, will eventually ensure the triumph of those principles for which alone the Reform Bill was enacted."—( Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN again rose. Gentlemen, the next toast which stood on my list a few days ago was the " Ministers of his Majesty." The toast which I am about to give is " His Majesty's late Ministers"--( Loud cheers)—and I confess that I shall not give the latter With less confidence than the former. I believe those Ministers to have been men who were anxious to carry into practice every sound, rational, and practicable measure of reform which lay in their power, but that they were surrounded by difficulties—difficulties which no previous Administration ever had to contend with—difficulties which, I firmly believe, have not yet been fully appreciated by the coun try. Opposed in the House of Lords by a large majority— (" Hear, hear," from Lord Seagrave)--who were at any time able to defeat any measure introduced, and put an end not only to every measure, but to the Administration—opposed in the House of Commons by two parties with equal violence, but agreeing together in no one point, except in opposition to that Administration—wide as the Poles were asunder--exposed to to the double suspicion of leaning to one and the other, I be lieve their only intention was to steer a sound, a practicable, and a middle course. Such, however, gentlemen, is never a very easy task. Mr. Moreton said this day, that all did not know the difficulty of steering between Scylla and Charybdis ; there were rocks on one side, and whirlpools on the other, and it required a steady hand to hold the helm ; but when, in addi tion to this danger, persons rushed on the pilot, and over whelmed him, one crying, " Now you are on the rocks," and the " are in the whirlprsol " ; t rn A tter of wonder that the vessel became a wreck ? It is true our pro gress in correcting abuses is for a time postponed, but I think the ultimate success no less inevitable ; I trust I see brighter days beyond. It is very true another Administration is formed on very different principles—principles so different as to make it totally impossible for that Administration to meet the pre sent House of Commons—(Cheers)---a dissolution then must ensue—( Cheers)---and upon the selection the people then make of representatives will depend the destiny of this country— ( Cheers)—and if the constituency of England have the courage (which I sincerely believe they have) to resist the temptation and intimidation to which I know they will be exposed, all may yet be well.—( Loud cheers.) It was probable that many might think the old Ministers could have done more ; but let them in common honesty review the actions of those Ministers. He maintained that the calm and deliberate actions of the last, compared with any previous Administration, entitled them to the thanks of the country.—( Cheers.) He then proposed " The late Ministers of his Majesty."—( Loud cheering. ) Mr. 'beano° begged to give " Lord Grey, the Father of Reform."--( Cheering.) The CHAIRMAN rose with the greatest pleasure to propose the three Liberal Peers of the county—Lord Ducie, Lord Sherborne, and Lord Seagrave—( Cheers)—with a sincere wish that the House of Lords was composed of more members of the same stamp, for under those circumstances the Re formers would have advanced considerably further in their progress, and not have been in their present difficulty.— ( Cheers.) With respect to Lord Ducie, he was extremely sorry to say that lie was at that moment in bed, with a fit of the gout; with regard to Lord Sherborne, he had received a letter from him, stating that this was the third year that he had promised Mr. Coke, of Holkham, to spend the Ist of No . vember with him, and that he was bound to be there at this period; and Lord Sherborne added, " Tell our Whig friends I am staying in a county wherein in early youth I was sojourn ing with Charles Fox, and was one of his greatest admirers." He (the Chairman) was sure Mr. Moreton would speak for his father, Lord Ducie ' • and with respect t o Lord Seagrave, he was certain he would speak for himself.—" The three Li beral Peers of the county."--( Loud cheering.) Lord SEAGRAVE then said, it had been said at some Tory dinners, and had been dwelt upon, that the present reformed House of Commons was not better formed, nor better calcu lated to confer benefits on the people, than the old House was; this had been a subject on which they had dwelt. That Par liament had not done its duty he would admit, but he contended the fault lay with the Peers, and not with the lower House. There were some omissions of which the present House were guilty, but still lie hoped to see the error retrieved ' • but he doubted whether, if the present House of Commons had been a little more active (though he doubted whether it would have suited his taste), that would have recommended it to the Tories ; for instance, and he said it with great deference, because he knew some persons were disposed to think differently, but still he had his own strong opinion on the subject, that the reformed House of Commons ought not to have rejected an inquiry into the state of the pension list.—(Loud cheers.) He had been a long time in public life, and had experienced some annoyances, and had felt some great gratifications, but among all, he had never felt any gratification so great as to see the name of his two brothers in that honourable minority. There was one other observation he must make on the present state of the House of Commons, because he would contend that, with all its imperfections on its head, it was a blessing to the people, such as had never yet been conferred upon them, and for this small reason—that if the present House of Commons had not progressed in the path of reform so much as had been expected, or had not been very active in the removal of abuses —at all events, they had not so acted as to prevent a recur rence of them. No more jobs, no more sinecures, no more unmerited pensions, would take place under the present House of Commons. It had been said at some of the late dinners, and praise had been claimed for the Tory Administration on that ground, th a t th e T es t an d C orpora ti on A cts were repea l e d during the Administration of the Duke of Wellington. That was perfe ct l y true ; b ut to say t h ese were t h e acts of the Duke of Wellington, would be just as wise as to say it was the act of the ass t o have the paniers put upon him, which were thrust upon his back.—( Cheers and laughter.) He was obliged to grant it in spite of himself, and not of his own wish. It was in consequence of the enlightened spirit of the age, of the rights which Christians of all denominations felt they had, that the Duke was obliged to give way, perhaps assisted also by a tone of intimidation adopted by O'Connell; but intimi dation was the last thing that should be had recourse to ; that which could be obtained by good sound argument should never be effected by threats. But the taking credit for passing these measures, was the most comical thing that ever was. Let them look at what happened to Sir Robert Peel, who had for years represented that nursery for half-grown Tories, the University of Oxford ; his talents were splendid, his attain ments were great, and his private character was unblemished ; but in spite of his talents, i n s pite of his attainments, and in spite of his private c h aracter , t h e University of Oxford had tried him, and found hi m gu il ty of le_ening towards the Catho lic Relief Bill, - and the bond 1- oetween him and alma mate ,. had been dissolved for ever.—( Cheers.) They had been told that one of their f: sults was a w an t o f orgae ization in their eetiv trtae 1 movements, and part', culariy at the l as t election. It had been said on the other :and that organ i zat i on wou ld no t create a force, but could not dis eet one—that was esse but suppose one party, Eargstniaeci, asol the other did not', what would he tile onsequence ? Why, that the :;:t -y, lectinss r e .t,t fail. Th e y s h ou ld b e up and doing ; it wax Ine possible to say what might happen, and what the consequences of the formation of the present Administration might be—whe ther it would stand, or what it might do, depended in a great measure on them. He would recommend them unanimity, to resist their enemies, and to beware of false friends.—(Con tinued cheering. ) The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of " Mr. Henry More 'en, the disinterested and highly-spirited representative of the easfern ! division of the county."--( Loud cheers.) . . _Motr7oN thanked them for the way in which The Hon. at. name at this crisis; it was a crisis, they had received hh. z .. ^ous one, but it was one he had though he trusted not a dang ' ,. :2lared, that unless there long foreseen, for he had openly u use of Peers, no was an infusion of liberal blood into the L i .? liberal administretion could stand. It had beei: said he had broached unconstitutional principles, but whether so o: not, it was his opinion, and it had proved to be a correct one. 1...'d his Grace the Duke of Wellington, whom he might call his Highness, this triple secretary, this multiplied Cerberus— did he suppose they were such a foolish body, that after the struggle they had made to obtain the Reform Bill, they were going to stultify themselves, as he (the Duke) bad made the House of Lords stultify itself, on the Reform Bill ? Did he suppose he would suppress agitation in Ireland by continuing the same church system? Did he suppose that he would in duce them to look with more favour on him by paying them with miserable portions of potatoes? It was impossible it could last, more especially when they saw that they made use of the very measure which had been suggested to them, and seeing that the very_men who opposed that measure were making use of the precise means which had been offered as a security to the clergy; or were they to suppose that this tripartite man, this triple being, would propose the measure of Church Reform in the House of Lords ? If he did, they would he much obliged to him—if he carried it through, they would thank bins for the manner in which he had done it, and for the inconsistency.— ( Cheers.) They had heard much about keeping up the inte grity of the House of Lords—he had driven all the Tories out of the house on the Reform Bill, to keep the country quiet— he wondered whether he would drive them out again ? He (Mr. Moreton) wondered whether the Noble Duke thought the Protestant Dissenters were going to sit still with their hands in their pockets?—(" No, no."), Did he think they would place confidence in him—that they would expect from him those measures of relief that were still due to them ? If he did, he would be much mistaken. He would conclude at once by saying he trusted, and he would say to them as con stituents, let them do their duty throughout England, and they were sure of obtaining the necessary reforms, and the Dissenters were sure of having that relief more sure and more certain than ever. If there had been a mistake made by men, it had been made by the Tories; they had magnified their strength, they saw substance in shadows, these shadows were grown larger, but the reflecting observer knew that the Tories sun had nearly set, and that that which they thought to be a sub stance would prove to be a shadow.—( Loud cheering.) Mr. H. TRACY proposed " the health of Captain Gray."— ( Cheers. ) Captain GRAY said, if they desired to continue the advant ages which Reform bad brought into existence, they had only one line of conduct to pursue, that of waging open war with out end against the evil - genius of Toryism, which had been rocked in the same cradle and nurtured in the same bosom with bigotry and intolerance. Let them then hope, after many a long year of despotic misrule, it was destined to breath its last, and with them to be interred, unwept and unhonoured, in the same unhallowed grave. This might be deemed by some an extravagant and useless hope, at the very moment when the Conservative party had succeeded in taking by storm the Government of the country ; but he for one was nothing daunted or dismayed by that event ; as good often arose out of evil, so he ventured to predict that the progress of Reform will resuscitate and promote it; the seals of office might be trans ferred at the will of the Sovereign from one set of men to another, from Whigs and Liberals to Tories and Conservatives; but they could not transfer from them the power of working a miraculous conversion of public opinion. Let then the Re formers remain true to themselves—let them pull cordially together, and they might still bid defiance to that gigantic adversary; with the present House of Commons, if the slightest degree of faith might be reposed in the honesty and consistency of public men, it would be impossible for a Tory, Administration to carry on the affairs of the state. They must from such necessity be driven to dissolve the Parliament, and appeal to the sense of the nation. On the result of such an appeal he would not speculate, but the question which was to be asked he apprehended was this, whether they would be go verned by men of liberal principles, who considered the well being of those whom they governed and represented as an object of their personal concern, or by men educated in the Tory school, who endeavoured as much as possible to circum scribe the liberties of the people. Let our situation be what it might, or whatever parties remain in power, the Tory princi- Tle could not long be 13eedominant in the councils of this na tion. If the Tories retained oniee,Ar - Intrst b. through ..i.,..n. donment of principle. In their measures they must stoop to become Whigs—they must condescend to wear the livery and do the work of reform. There were certain questions which it was impossible they could shuffie—lreland must be paci fied, not by harsh measures, but by those of justice, and a liberal constitution of the church establishinent in that country ; and in this, also, it must be reformed—(Loud cheers) —tithes must be commuted, the Dissenters must be relieved; law reform, municipal reform, and ecclesiastical re form, must proceed, in despite of their reluctance to permit them. To endeavour to compel the people to return, or stop and end all that had been done within the last four years,would be morally impossible. It was equally impossible that the people should stand still exactly where they now were, when so many grand improvements were still pending—the machine must move onward. Happen what would, let them be pre pared for the worst alternative, seeing that the most certain control they possessed over the actions of one Ministry was that exercised through the representative body.—( Continued cheers.) Mr. E. Siteprosan proposed as a tpast, " The Members of the Western Division of the County."—( Loud cheering.) The Hon. AUGUSTUS MORETON said—lt bad latterly been the custom of the Tories, when canvassed, to ask what good the Reform Bill had done for them—had it taken off their taxe s? and tha general answer was, that the party knew of no benefit he had derived. But he would tell what the Reform Bill bad done ; and whether this Ministry was in one year, one Month, or one day--( Cheers)—they must under that. Bill, and adopt liberal and reform measures.--( Cheers. ) The Hon. H. MORETON gave " the health of those Mem bers who had done equal honour to themselves and to those who had sent them there, Mr. Hyett and Mr. Scrope."—(lm mense applause.) The CHAIRMAN returned thanks. Mr. SCROPE rose amidst the most deafening cheers. The question at this important crisis was, what in the name of hea ven was to be done ? He had come amongst them, hoping to meet a large body of his constituents, to ascertain their opi nions, not to trouble them with his own, but to accept his in structions from them, as to the course of conduct be should pursue—( Loud cheers)—not to declare that he was predeter mined on any; but at the same time it gave him great plea sure to hear a most universal concurrence of opinions with those he sanctioned most. It was now or never ; it was the time,for Reformers to make a struggle, which they had thought was over, but which they were now called upon to renew, to obtain a reform in the abuses of the Government, the redress of every grievance, and the amelioration of every one of their institutions. Let them not be deceived by promises held out to them, but trust to themselves, and give not up that which they now possessed. Let them recollect that a Parliament of seven years had a power of reforming the Reform Bill itself— (Cheers) —and that, too, while they looked upon it as the bul wark of their liberties.—( Cheers.) Mr. Scrope then proposed " The health of Mr. Ricardo, and aieo the gentlemen to whom they were deeply indebted for acting as stewards on this occa sion."—( Cheers. ) Mr. RICARDO returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN then proposed " The heeltb of that veteran in the cause of Reform, Colonel Kingscote"--(Cheers)—who was in his 85th year, and too unwell to attend. Mr. THOMAS KINGSCOTE returned thanks oat behalf of his uncle, and hoped he should follow in his steps. The Rev. C. CAFE' , proposed " The health of Mr. Phill potts, the liberal and inJependent member for the City of Gloucester."—( Cheers. ) Mr. PHILLPOTTS said they stood at that moment in an un precedented situation—they stood at that moment: a country without an Administration—they stood in the powee of one man, a dictator, who was appointed by the King to rule over them, and who bad all the powers vested in him. Was that a situation with which they ought to feel satisfied ?—(No, no. ) Were the rights and liberties of the people of this vast empire to be committed to one individual—( No, no)—were all the seals of office to be used at his discretion--( No, no)—were they to be subject to military law ?—( No, no, and vast cheer ing.) Our ancestors at Runnymede had wrested from the tyrant then on the throne Magna Charta ; he trusted that the march of intellect had not dimished the force of their feelings ; he trusted that Britons would be Britons stql, and then by their exertions they were certain to succeed. Their present unexpected situation had spread an alarm through the country, from which they had hardly yet recovered. It grad almost pa ralyzed their immediate exertions ; but they w ere beginning to awake, and to feel that it was their bounden duty to be up and stirring. The city of London, and various places near the m etropolis, had already given notice of meetings for the purpose of addressing the throne ; he trusted Gloucester shire would not be behindhand in these meetings.--( Cheers. ) He trusted that there would be a meeting in the (7c unty-hall within a few days, to convince the King that there set s no re action in the minds of his people. and to convince tistese who had taken upon themselves the helm that their situation was held against the wishes of the people. When at Westminster Hall, on the news being first promulgated, an old Conserva tive told him it had been determined on some days (" It came from Germany 1") and he must say he firmly believed it ,had been a previously concerted measure, and that it had not beon determined upon so suddenly es was generally imagined. This might afford a clue to many of the acts of the late Ad ministration e they had been crippled in their actions.

The first measure which they will pro pose will not be a repeal of the Reform Act, because that would be too monstrous a proposition for even a Tory to at tempt ; but you may rely upon it one of the first measures will be by some means or other to fritter away the power of that act, to render it inoperative, and place you in the situation you were in before the Reform Act took place—in the power of the aristocracy of this country. Mr. Phillpotts then alluded to the several commissions which had been issued for inqniry into abuses, and then said—These are the causes which have led to the dismissal of the late Administration. Let us all exert our own strength to regain that which had cost us so bird a struggle to obtain.—( Loud cheers. ) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the health of " The Vice President, Mr. William Stanton," who having briefly returned thanks, the meeting broke up. TO CHARLES TRACEY AT STROUD, NOV. 21. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Ilamoshire Telegraph.) Po RT:4110 ur ft, Nov. 2 0 .--We have received by the Spitfire steamer, which arrived at Falmouth on Monday, letters from Malta and other dependencies in the Mediterranean to the Ist instant : " MALTA, OCT. 31.—The Medea steam frigate, Commander Austen, arrived on the 17th inst. with despatches in the incom parably short passage of ten days and five hours from Plymouth, during which the fire was put out seven hours to cleanse the boilers. She is the first steam.vessel that has made the - voyage out without stopping. at an intermediate port for coals. The Medea sailed on the 21st to join the squadron at Vourla. The Nile steamer (built in England) arrived on the 9th in charge 01 ..Captain Hindmarsh, R. N., and sailed on the 14th for Alex andria._ Captain H. is expected to remain in the Egyptian service as High Admiral of that Navy. The Nile is the largest steam : afloat, being 90S tons, upwards of 190 feet in length, and is easjy convertible to purposes of war. Having room for 1,200 troop.: in light marching order, she would speedily transport a body of men on an emergency to any re fractory spot. Her speed is great, at times e'leven and a half knots an hour.

In the Sound—Buffalo THE LAST DAYS OF PoMPEII.—" This new work of Mr. Bulwer is pure, classical, and original. It owes nothing, to commonplace ; but illuminating the depths of the past with poetry, it makes all the graces of invention sub servient to the cause of truth, and appears to refine upon reality without weakening its force. In these pages we live in the luxurious Pompeii, with its baths, its amphitheatre, and its forum ; we feel the silken flutter of a race that mocked the Roman sternness, and affected all the virtues of the imperial city, while they eschewed its stoical harshness ; we have As pasia again before us in the crowded revel and the volatile and witty dialogue. The attempt to paint the manners of a people who perished off the face of the earth in the year 79 A.D., knowing them only through the scanty hints of Pliny, was not easy of accomplishment ; but Mr. Bulwer has suc ceeded, and we have here the best fiction, perhaps, in any language of modern Europe that is based upon a classical foundation."—A tlas. LESLIE.—The Earl of ItOthes lately sent a large turnip to one of his tenants who is famed for his superior crops of turnips, awl the extent and rich produce of his dairy. The bulb seemed to be very large and was uncommonly heavy. On further examination the top was lifted off, and a large bare was seen in the inside ; puss was pulled cut by the ears, and then a leash of partridges, a pheasant, and a snipe, were succzs sively taken out of the hollow of the turnip, which had been carefully scooped on purpose.—Fffeßhire Journal. THE FRENCH PEOPLE.—" It is surprising, that that with so small a sce between them, the E n g lish an d French nations should be so totally dissimilar in character, manners, and customs, and this, too, in spite of the constant intercourse between - the people of each, which a peace of 20 years' duration has facilitated. Any investigation which shall tend to develop the causes of so remarkable a distinction, cannot fail to attract the curiosity and attention of English readers. We hail, therefore, the appearance of Mr. Henry Bulwer's ‘. France" with much satisfaction. The opportu nities possessed by him were of a most favourable kind, arising from a long residence in France, and front the position he held as a Memter of the British Embassy at Paris. After a brilliant and graphic sketch of the French capital, the author describes the c haracteristics of the people, .as manifested in their politeness gallantry, vanity, wit, gaiety, frivolity, and crime. Ail these various and interesting topics are discussed with great spirit and discrimination, and the work will doubt less be extensively read, and highly appreciated."--Globe g./ O Fe;' * 6' •
