THE SUN, LONDON. THU that Government bestows on the foreign debt, and this un pleasant feeling is increasing very rapidly. The other inter nal debts of the country, according to the tables of the same produced by M. Silva Carvalho to the Cortes, do not ex ceed 4,000,0001. sterling, namel— Permanent capitals (as they are called) Juros Permanentes Vitalicios, on an interest of 6,5, and 4 per cent., average 5 per cent., representing a capital of 5,923,897,920 Total of debt......... 18,151,554,292 Of which deduct, held by convention, already ascertained and supposed still to be ascer tained Leaving 16,601,554,292 which, however, must be paid in full ; but, as a by the new plan presented to the Chambers by the Minister, all these bonds will be received in payment of national and church property, there can be no doubt that the amount will dimi nish very considerably in the course of two years, to the ex tent of perhaps two-thirds. " I have not included the paper money, which, until lately was considered currency of the country, because the 6 per cent. loan contracted in England has provided the means for the extinction of such of it as is likely to come in, and the remainder will be received by Government for the part payment of the tobacco contract in the course of the next ten years, so that it may be considered as sunk, unless the Usurper were to come back, which does not seem likely. " As formerly hinted, the Government have issued an or der, granting the free admission of 25,000 fanegas of fo reign wheat, the preference to be given accordins , to the date of the entering of the ships at Belem, which is very fair ; the quantity on hand in bond was not small, so that much will not be required from abroad. " His Majesty's ship Revenge, 74 guns, sailed this morn ing to join the Mediterranean squadron. The British farce in the Tagus this day consists of the Hastings, Admi rit Gage ; the Stag frigate ; Nimrod corvette ; Leveret, Epoir, and Nautilus brigs. " LISBON, OCT. 25.—Another week over, and, under same pretext or other, nothing has been done in the C4embera although there has been a great deal of speak ing, and, as- customary, violent personal attacks on each o'her have been the order of the day amongst the Deputies. On Ministers bringing down a message to the House for a suitable annual provision to be made to the Queen, in con s Iquence of her approaching marriage, the Viscount de Foote Arcada stated that there could be no objection to make a grant for this purpose, but that it was absolutely necessary that the House should first be in possession of fie year's budget ; to which the Minister of Finance re pled that he was not called upon to bring it forward till the meeting of the ordinary Cortes in January next (you are aware that the present are called extraordinary Cortes) ; but that he would wave this privilege, and it should be forthcoming in the course of a few days. I understand that it was not brought forward on Tuesday last, be cause at the Council of Ministers previously held on the subject two of them were of opinion that it would per haps be better to postpone it for one month. M. Silva Carvalho, M. Freire, and the Bishop of Coimbra, strongly insisted that no time should be lost in making the nation acquainted with its real situation, as well as with its financial prospects for the future. This opinion prevailed at last, and am assured that it will be brought forward in the ensuing week. The Duke of Palmella brought down another com munication, relative to the expediency of the Chambers confirming- the late Don Pedro's decrees respecting the ex clusion of Don Miguel and his heirs for ever from the Por tuguese crown, as well as his being punished with death, if at any time found within the territory of Portugal. These proposals, as well as many others brought forward by seve ral deputies on a variety of subjects, were all declared very urgent, and as such sent to the respective standing com mittees to report upon, but in these committees everything seems to remain in statu qUo. On one of the articles, the 20th, of the law on the abuses of the liberty of the press passing, the opposition members, to the number of 42, have signed and published a declaration to the effect that they voted for the total exclusion of the said article. A great hue and cry was raised the other day, by the Opposition, because M. Vasconcellos; . the Prefect of the Beira Alta, had directed that marriages should in future be celebrated according to the customs of France ; in fact, that inde pendent of the church ceremony, they should likewise be civil contracts. The Government could only say, that until the Chambers determined upon the matter the practice should be discontinued. It is very seldom that the Ministers themselves ever reply at any length to the continual attacks of the Oppo sition. That task chiefly devolves on Messrs. Joaquim Antonio de Magalhaes, and Rodrigo da Fonseca de Ma galhaes, the latter of whom generally succeeds in silencing them. Upon Marshal Saldanha and others complaining in the Chamber that the Corps of Academico or University students had not yet been attended to, and that they were totally neglected, it was clearly shown, on the Ministerial aide, that •anitsof their number—say 146-73 had been pro vided for, and held appointments of various kinds, some of them very important, 6 others had died in the field of battle, and the remaining 67 were now entitled to an allowance, and should besides be provided for as vacancies occurred. The Portuguese Royal transport Princesa Real sailed for England, conveying about VO discharged British ma rines and sailors from the Portuguese service, who have all been paid in full, and every other claimant is now receiving, or about receiving, the amount due to him. Considerable dissatisfaction having been expressed by many people at the amnesty lately issued by the Queen, said to be at her dyinglather's request, not including such indi viduals as had already been sentenced to a certain length of close confinement either in Portugal, the islands, or the set tlements out of Europe, for political offences, a more ample one has just been issued which is extended to all these un happy persons. Upon further inquiry, I am informed that the Govern ment were not altogether to blame in their conduct towards Admiral Napier. He had been informed by Ministers that they intended to grant him the half-pay of an Admiral r rovided the Chamber approved of the same, but it appears that our gallant countryman either understood that he was ,to have likewise, or at all events claimed besides, the half pay of Major-General of the Armada, as well as that of Inspector-General of the Dockyards, &c., to which none of the Ministers would listen, not so much from their want of inclination to give it, as from the conviction which they entertained that it would never pass in the Cortes. Mat ters have been made up, the Queen has signed a Carta Itegia allowing the Admiral's half-pay, and it is to be sub mitted to the approval of the Legislature. The Admiral will sail forthwith for England, and he has once more as seined the title of Count St. Vincent. Besides this half pay he gets about 7,5001. for his gratuity of two years' full pay of all his appointments on quitting the service. About thirty-six of the principal wine growers in this part of Portugal, many peers and deputies amongst them, dined together on the 21st, for the purpose of devising same means of raising the value of their wines, improving their qualities, and finding new channels for their con sumption. They appointed a Committee of twelve from amongst them for the purpose of making inquiries, and presenting a report at the next convivial meeting. A solemn dirge was said yesterday at the Cathedral for the repose of Don Pedro's soul ; the Queen was present ; it was attended by deputations of both the Chambers, as well as by every high functionary in Lisbon, &c. The burning of the paper money referred to in mine of the 12th took place this day in the Rocio-square ; and the authorities at Oporto have been desired to do the same with 400 contos of the same kind which have been collected there. lam sorry to inform you that, although I believe the Government are perfectly willing to allow all foreign news papers to enter Portugal free of postage, yet they prefer waiting a little in order to avoid a new source of complaint on the part of the Opposition, who would most likely make a great outcry about new favours granted to foreigners, &c. To give you an idea of the extent to which this feeling is prevalent amongst that party, I should mention that it was the other day in contemplation at one of their meetings, to attack the Government on the privilege which was then re ported to have been granted to the British Steam Naviga tion Company lately established in London, for the purpose of keeping up a constant communication between England and Spain and Portugal ; by some chance or other they were prevailed upon not to bring it forward. Now they have no Portuguese steam-company ready to undertake the thing, yet such is their prejudice against everything foreign. The Gacetta Official of this day contains a proclamation of General Ramon Salvador, acting Captain-General of Spanish Estremadura, dated Badajoz, the 20th instant, acquainting the inhabitants that as it is ascertained that Don Miguel has joined the Spanish Pretender in Navarre, and may possibly attempt an ingress into Portugal, he offers a reward of 1,000 dollars to whoever shall take and hand Miguel over to the Spanish authorities, and if the captor should decline the pecuniary reward, the Government will confer some honourable one on him. The Government here, although not placing much reliance on this account, have taken every necessary precaution, so as to lay hold of the misguided miscreant if he should really attempt to enter the Portnguese territory. He stands no chance of raising any partisans saving a few bandits, because his former fol. lowers, convinced that he is a rank coward and heartless villain, would not again leave their quiet homes for the pur pose of forwarding his views. Lord Glenlyon has returned to England from the Continent to- the great satisfaction of his num erous Noble connections, who suffered so much uneasiness from his long absence abroad, without communicating with his friends, that they advertised him.• Lord Glenlyon is the heir presumptive to the honours and estates of his brother, the Duke of Athol, whose vast property ig administered by trustees.

The coursing was very good. a blemish. Mr. Hawkins performed " 0 Thou that tellest" in a very effective and finished style, and gained great applause by his just conception of the exquisitely pathetic air, "He was despised.' Mr. A. Novello and Leffler produced a favourable impression by their exe cution of the bass solos, " The people that walked," and " Why do the heathen." Mrs. W. Knyvett sang the recitatives, which follow the pastoral symphony, with real feeling, and was especially happy in the songs, " Come unto me all ye that labour," and " I know that my Redeemer liveth." In the quartett " Their sound is gone out," the soprano would have been more judiciously assigned to one of the Cathedral boys, as equality of tone is essentially requisite in part singing. Miss C. Novello executed but feebly the difficult song " Rejoice greatly," to which were added " He shall feed his flock," " How beautiful are the feet," and " But thou didst not leave." "If God be for us," was assigned to Miss F. Healey, who pos sesses an excellent voice, and displayed considerable talent. Mr. Turner had an arduous part to sustain in the song " Thou shalt dash them." Braham's great compass of voice and energetic tone rendered a com parison unavoidable, and in this instance unfavourable. The thanks of the public are due to the Committee who have superintended this Festival, and especially to Mr. Hoile, their Chairman, for their unremitting ex ertions to promote the comfort and gratification of the subscribers. An additional performance is, we under stand, contemplated ; and it is also intended to strike off a medal, for distribution to the performers, in com memoration of the enterprise to which they have con tributed their services.

The accused styles himself Louis Charles de Bourbon, by the Grace of God the legitimate and rightful Icing of France, and son of Louis XVI. Besides claiming to be acknowledged as Louis XVII., he styles himself Duke of Normandy and Baron de Richemont. There are several counts in the indictment against him, the principal of which are a plot against the life of Louis Phillippe, and the security and independence of the State ; the possession of clandestine printing -presses, and the publication and dis tribution of seditious writings ; the carrying arms without being legally entitled to do so ; and lastly, for swindling and obtaining money by false pretences. Among the papers that were seized at this individual's residenee is a document purporting to be signed by 'the Ministers and diplomatic agents of England, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, engaging to establish him (the pretended Louis XVII.) on the throne of France, for which service they were to be re warded by concessions of part of the French territory. The share of England, for her participation in this hopeful scheme was to be the full and entire possession of Calais and Dunkirk. This man is in the possession of rich reve nues, but he obstinately persists in refusing to tell from whence he derives them. The case excites the most lively interest in Paris, and the trial is expected to last several days. PORTUGAL. ( From a Morning Contemporary. ) " LISBON, OCT. 18.—The debates in the Chambers have not offered any thing worthy of paitrcular notice. The :6v , for the liberty of the-press proceeds, ;nal suppose that it will receive the Royal assent in the course of next week, Nearly the whole time of the Lower House seems to have been wasted up to this moment in presenting a variety of projects, some of them totally inadequate to the present state of the country, as well as by speeches made by some members for the gratification of their own personal feelings. M. Mousinho da Silveira very properly observed the other day, that if all that which was submitted to it was to undergo the consideration of the House, it would require much more than two years to dispose of it properly. Be this as it may, there is no doubt that several deputies begin to be tired of the idleness of the scene, and conse quently the muster is not generally so strong by 20 members as formerly, and it will most likely diminish every day, as they begin to ask leave of absence on one pretext or the other. At the time that the Duke of Pahnella was taking part in a debate in the Lower Chamber the other' day, one deputy rose to order, calling on the President to prevent that nobleman from taking any part in the discussions of that house, because as a Minister of the Crown, if such he really should ultimately prove to be (unless he be besides a deputy), he ought never to speak, excepti ng t o answ er any inquiry put to him, or to bring down any communication from her Majesty. A Committee of the DePattig§,-/11 3 n pointed for the purpose, has recommended a certain provi sion to be granted to the parish clergy, until they are other wise provided for. Their emoluments, arising from what is called Pie de Altar, christenings, marriages, and burials, are to be deducted from the same. "On the 14th instant, Alarshal Saldanha made a long speech in his own vindication, in consequence of the sundry reports that were circulated to his disadvantage, because he had brought in a proposal for the keepi ng u p o f the volun teers and fixos battalions on the war establishment, &c. He then took occasion to say, that such was his love of liberty, that the late General Lafayette loved him for him more than if he were his own son. Several deputies, amongst others M. Mousinho da Silveira, blamed the Go vernment for giving appointments to some Miguelitcs, and they each of them exemplified their complaint by giving up the name of one or more parties so. circumstanced. As I anticipated the other day, M. A. Macarino d'Acevedo, the Vice-President, has been named President of the Chamber of Deputies, and M. Carvalho de Fortes as Vice-President. " In the Peers, Count Taipa made once more a most violent attack on M. Mendizabal, as well as on the Govern ment, for continuinr , their confidence and agency to him, but it did not lead to any thing, because the Noble Peers peculiarities are well known. " In consequence of a communication which he received on the 15th instant from the Minister of Marine, Admiral Napier struck his flag from the Don John VI., and returned his commission of Admiral in the Portuguese navy, as well as his patents of Viscount and Count, desiring that they might be placed at the feet of the Queen, as he could not think of paying so ill a compliment to the nobility of this country as to retain titles which he had not the means of upholding. You will perceive from the above, that this has been a quarrel about money, and I understand that it is because, upon retiring to England, the Government did not seem disposed to grant him half-pay or a pension—in fact, nothing but the continuance of his name as Admiral and Major-General of Marines in the Army and Navy List. The Government people say that , they conceive that he must have been saving money out of his pay and allowances (which are those of a British Admiral and General of Ma rines when in actual service), and that independent of his prize money, which will exceed 20,0001., he is entitled by agreement to two years' pay as a gratuity, amounting to upwards of 7,5001. more, and that they were not very dis tant from proposing to the Chambers to grant him an an nuity, but that they are not to be driven in this manner, &c. How the thing will end it is impossible to say, but of one thing you may be certain, and it is that his departure from Portugal, like that of every other foreigner, particularly Eng lishmen, now that the business is done, will be 'hailed with delight by all parties in power, out of power, opposition, and Miguelites, such is the dislike and jealousy which is entertained towards us. lam told that three letters have been forwarded to the Admiral from Government in the course of the last twenty-four hours, probably endeavour ing to make matters up. " I was guilty of a trifling error when writing to you the other day about the Divida Publica of this country, stating its amount at 400,0001. The amount now in existence, after deducting what was lately burnt, and that which is held by convents, &c., which by a decree of the late Re gent is to be considered as cancelled, is 2,400 contos of reis ; it is payable in paper, and consequently it is only equivalent to 1,920 contos metal, which is about 472,0001. Its. present price is about 28 to 30, so that if taken by the Government as proposed at 33 1-3 per cent., it will only require about 157,500/. sterling, and every one will be sa -1 tidied, provided however that it is done immediately, a s , I I t ' repeat there is very strong feeling on the part of the I people ' on account of the preference which it is pretended SHOOTING PARTIES.

DUBLIN, Nov. 2.—lt is rumoured, I believe with some foundation, that the Government has determined to remove the Marquis of Downshire from the Lieutenancy of the county of Down, on account of his connexion with the recent Tory and Orange meeting at Hillsborough. The protest against the meeting has been signed by one hundred and eighty most respectable residents of Down. The following public buildings are at the present time in course of erection in this city :—St. Mathew's Church, Kingsdown ; the Bridewell ; Brunswick Chapel, Brunswick square; Custom House; Excise Office, Roman Catholic Chapel, Meridian-place ; Blind Asylum. To these will shortly be added the Bishop's Palace, the rebuilding of which was de layed by the illness of the late diocesan. This duty will now devolve on Dr. Allen, and we suppose it will be commenced soon after he takes possession of his See.—Bristol Journal. The Duchess of Angouleme has left Vienna, to re turn to her family at Prague. She lived very secluded, dined only twice at Court, and did not appear at any place of public amusement. She is small in stature, but very active for her age (57 years), and pretty stout. In her meals, hours of rising, and going to rest, she observes an almost pedantic re gularity. We understand the Admiralty are about to adopt a new method of propelling steam-vessels by quicksilver, instead of the present custom.—Portsmouth Herald. FALmoumr, Nov. 4.—Arrived this morning his Majesty's packet Briseis, Lieutenant John Downey, from Ja maica, having sailed from thence the 24th of September, and bringing on freight about 80,000 dollars. The state of the island is represented as being perfectly peaceable at the depar ture of the packet, though, a short time previous thereto, the negroes in the parish of St. Anne still evinced symptoms of discontent and refractoriness, and it was feared the crops in that district would be materially affected in consequence. Lieut.-Colonel Doyle, Secretary to the Governor, comes pas senger by the Briseis, on leave of absence. Lieut. Downey states his having been within 500 miles of this port 15 days ago, but from the prevalence of light and contrary winds could not reach it earlier. ERRATA.—In our article on Saturday, on " Pro hibitory Duties," for ports, read parts ; for raw manufacture, read raw material. On Tuesday the MS.

Con sidering the ordeal of fire and water through which they had to pass, they are singularly well preserved. ANECDOTE OF THE LAIRD OF LOGAN.—One day Logan happened to dine, along with some English gen tlemen, at the Earl of Eglinton's, when the conversation chanced to turn on the comparative fruitfulness of the northern and southern divisions of Britain. The Laird, who was always a sturdy stickler for the honour and general superiority of Scotland, displayed on the occasion the full bent of his national predilections. One of the gentlemen, however, wishing to come to particulars, requested to know how much wheat an acre of the best Scotch land would produce. Logan wishing to astound his opponent, named a quantity which he thought would have that effect. " Pooh pooh I" said the English man, " that's not more than the half of what is reaped from the very commonest of our lands in England. But now," con tinued he, still addressing the Laird, "what quantity of beans will the same extent of ground produce ?" " Na, na, frien'," said Logan, seeming piqued at being outdone, " lee about is fair play—it's your turn to speak first noo."—Kilmarnobk Journal. TELL US WHAT YOU CAN'T DO.—A party of, Oxford scholars were one evening carousing at the Star inn, when a waggish student, a stranger to them, abruptly intro duced himself; and seeing he was not " one of us," they all began to quiz him. • Thi s p u t hi m u p on hi s me ttl e , an d, besides boasting of other accomplishments, he told them in plain terms that he could write Greek or Latin verses better, and was, in short, an even match for them at anything. Upon this, one of the party exclaimed, " You have told us a great deal of what you can do : tell us something you can't do.', Well," he retort e d, " I'll t e ll y ou w hat I can't d o —l can't pay my reckoning !" This sally won for him a hearty welcome. DREADFUL FIRE, ATTENDED WITH THE Loss OF LIVES, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF FIFTEEN HOUSES.— Early this morning a fire broke out in the rear of the European Tavern and Tea Gardens, in the Lower Deptford-road. The old buildings in Jamaica-row, Clark's Orchard, and other dense courts, soon ignited, and a respectable man of the name of Fox, a shoemaker, fell a victim, in consequence, it is said, of his having ling ere d i n ,hi s f r agile tenement in order to save some "household stuff." His wife, scarcely less fortunate, threw herself from a parapet wall, and broke her thigh ; she was conveyed to the Hospital without any sign of life. The number of victims cannot at present be ascertained, and per haps never will be, as some of the inmates were River-men, who only engage lodgings for the night. A young man was seen by the spectators in the midst of the flames, imploring aid in vain, with uplifted hands, but he soon sank to rise no mere. The engines arrived very opportunely, or the devasta tion would have been greater, and so would the loss of lives, but for the bravery of the firemen, who rescued infancy and decrepitude from death at the risk of their own lives. The a mount of distress through this event is truly melancholy, as the sufferers are chiefly poor industrious people, who have lost their all. MARCH OF HUMANITY.--At a recent ineeting of butchers at R---, after discussing reform and the corn laws, the subject of railroads was brought forward, when. one of the orators spoke enthusiastically in praise of the improve ment. " Among other advantages," said he, " look at that which affects the piss brought to market ! They will be saved the fatigues of their journey, poor things ! They will not, as now, min down all their flesh, poor things ! They will not, as now, run down all their taste and flavour, poor things !" (Loud cheers.)—Hull Observer. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT BILL. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The following letter from Mr. Charles Phillips gives so clear and so satisfactory an account of the circumstances in which the Central Criminal Court Bill originated, that if any person has attached the least importance 'to the absurd charge in the Times against Lord Brougham, with regard to the Bill in question,-the•perasal'of this letter must disabuse him : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. " November 5, 1834. " SlR—The introduction of my name in your paper of to-day, on the subject of the Central Criminal Court Bill, must be my excuse for explaining the origin and progress of that most important measure. In consequence of some unfortunate occurrences which had taken place at the Middlesex Sessions, the Lord Chancellor intimated to me, as one of the Bar, his deep regret, and his anxiety, if pos sible, to prevent their repetition. Amongst other things, in the course of conversation, his Lordship suggested the propriety of transferring much of the jurisdiction of the Justices to the King's Judges—of creating a permanent court for that purpose, and of concentrating within its control all the dense population for some miles around the metropolis, without distinction of counties. This idea originated entirely with himself. I said it was a curious coincidence ; but that really Mr. Alley had, a few days before, mentioned to me some such plan as having been 30 years ago in the contemplation of Sir John Sylvester and Mr. Shelton, and that he believed some memorial of it might be found in the papers of the latter gentleman, then in the possession of his nephew, Mr. Clarke. The Chancellor naturally expressed his surprise, as he had not been personally acquainted with either of these gentlemen ; he said, however, that he would consult Lord Melbourne, then at the head of the Home Department, and if that Nobleman agreed with him in the absolute expediency of the Government's interference, I should hear from him again. In the course of a week, accordingly, at his Lord ship's desire, I atten4ed him ; when he informed me that Lord Melbourne had at once recognised the great utility of the principle, and would gladly co-operate in carrying it into effect. He added, that if Mr. Clarke could find any such document as that to which I alluded, it might be useful with respect to the details. I asked whether I had his Lordship's permission to make use of his name ? He said, Certainly ; there was no occasion for secrecy ; and I was to give his complime n t s , an d say h e wou ld feel much indebted for any suggestions on the sub ject from so experienced an officer.' I executed my commission. Mr. Clarke gave me a copy of the rough sketch which remained in his uncle's handwriting, with that ready courtesy for which he is remarkable. That gentle man knows there was no stipulation whatever for secrecy ; he was at liberty to mention what had occurred to all the world ; and if he did not do so, was only restrained by that innate modesty which every one who knows him must know is his characteristic. No two things can be more different that that mere sketch, and the matured measure prepared and carried by Lord Brougham. I ought, in justice, to add here, that the Chancellor expressly told me he meant this measure merely as an experiment ; that if it succeeded, he would extend its advantages to the entire country, but that he wished first to ascertain whether its operation would turn out really beneficial. I mention this now, in order that if he should be enabled hereafter to reduce this great design to practice, he may reap, without cavil, the credit which shall appertain to it. The principle of the Bill having been thus recognised by the Cabinet, it is quite true that the Lord Chancellor occupied himself in rendering its details as per fect as possible. To my own knowledge, he was nearly three months actively employed on it. It is quite true that he did not trust implicitly to his own judgment. He consulted the law officers of the Crown, he consulted the Learned Recorder, he consulted Mr. Clarke, he consulted every one who could give him any practical information—he laboriously weighed their various suggestions, and at length introduced his mea sure with a speech of such surpassing power, that neither in Parliament, nor out of Parliament, from any party, was there heard a dissentient voice. To Lord Brougham, and to Lord Brougham alone, are the public indebted for this vast improvement. Even suppose Mr. Shelton's bill had been adopted by him, and carried without any amendment—the very reverse of truth—the country would still owe him all its gratitude for having called it into activity. But for him, it might have slumbered peaceably for another thirty years, amid the dust of the Old Bailey. But, I repeat, the bill, as it is, is Lord Brougham's bill, embracing, in its conception and details, the rare combination of his industry and genius ; and destined long to remain, I hope, a monument of both. "So much have I felt myself called on to state, in strict justice to the Lord Chancellor, utterly regardless of any imputation to which I may be subjected. Lord Brougham knows better than any one else, whether I am justly chargeable with any unworthy motive. He knows that I have never shown myself solicitous for his favours, though there can be no one who feels more than I do, both gratified and honoured by his friendship. " I am, Sir, with great respect, CHARLES PHILLIPS." If Lord Brougham had found a Bill drawn by Mr. Shelton in so perfect a state, that, without ma terial alteration, he could have at once submitted it to Parliament, no rational person would think of blaming the Chancellor for his readiness in giving the country the benefit of the Bill. But Mr. C. Phillips informs us, that "no two things can be more different than that mere sketch (left by Mr. Shelton) and the ma tured measure prepared and carried by Lord Brougham." Mr. Phillips adds, that the Chancellor told him that he meant the measure as an experiment, and that, if successful, the measure would be extended to the whole country. The Standard, in an able article on the subject of this strange accusation, after dwelling on the immense advantage to the country of this Bill, in " the more certain punishment of the guilty, by bring ing them to trial while the evidence of their offences is still fresh in memory—before witnesses can be con veniently tampered with, and while there is less likeli hood of business or casualty removing them from the jurisdiction of the Court," and." the abridgment of the unjust suffering or the innocent," proceeds to observe— " We need say the less of the merits of .the Metropoli tan Bill, because there seems to be no second opinion upon the point ; but it is necessary, in' justiceto the Chancellor, to recite these merits more specifically, because they are, in fact, the objects which his Lordship had pursued in a mea sure of a much more comprehensive description—pursued, we shall ever regret it, unsuccessfully, but certainly with sincerity and ardour. The Metropolitan Bill is, in fact, but a circumscribed application of the principle of the un lucky Local Courts' Bill ; and of that principle it cannot be denied the Chancellor was the original patron ; and as far as a man can be called author of a principle, the original author. The case, then, just comes to this— the Noble Lord has obtained for the Metropolitan dis trict, that which he would have obtained, if he could, for the whole kingdom. That in adapting his principle to the Metropolitan district, he availed himself of the Crown office experience of Mr. Shelton, of the legal learning and Home-office experience of Mr. Secretary Phillips ; and of the learning, talent, and, if we may make another distinction, forensic experience of Mr. Charles Phillips, seems to us a just topic of praise, rather than that of apprehension. Our fault, with Lord Brougham, is very much the same which he finds with the Houses of Parlia ment. We think he is always doing too much ; that he undertakes more than he, or any other man is, ever was, or ever can be, competent•- to ; and we are happy to find that, in thiS case, he has preserved one attribute of a great mind—namely, not to occupy himself with details, without preserving which, ten greater men than Lord Brougham could not- usefitill -65inplete one-half of all he undertalthi.. We should, indeed, have thought meanly of his Lordship if we had found him meddling with the par ticular clauses of the Bill. #* * * * Mr. Chas. Phillips has, in the course of a few years, by the mere force of his talents, obtained the undisputed lead in the Court about to be modified ; and obtained that undis puted lead from men of great learning and talents, many, very many years his seniors. Let us' add, that as he has won his position well, he wears it honourably, and with the full and respectful approbation of the competitors whom he has left behind—a felicity of success rare anywhere, most rare, we fear, at the bar. As this gentleman's name has been brought in question, we owe it to the cause of truth to give our humble testimony in support of his great talents ; the sincerity of that testimony cannot be questioned when its nature is known. Upon an occasion when we thought that it might be necessary to defend the liberty of the Press against a criminal prosecution, with the whole Bar before us to choose, Mr. Chas. Phillips was the advocate of our choice. It would be unbecoming to say more, but it would be ungenerous not to say so much. Now, if in new-modelling the metropolitan criminal court, the Lord Chancellor had overlooked the suggestions bequeathed by Mr. Shelton, or neglected to avail himself of the aid to be had from Mr. Secretary Phillips and Mr. Charles Phillips, how much would lie have been to blame And yet, that he did not deserve this blame, seems to be the main ground of accusation against him." The malice of the Times has thus only served to draiv forth testimony to the Chancellor's merits, and to place them more conspicuously before the public. Balaam went to curse, and was made the instrument of blessing the children of Israel. If Lord Brougham remain true to himself, he may pray for a succession of such attacks as those in the Times of Monday and Tuesday last. . . , . BRIGHTON, Nov. 5. The Queen, accompanied by Lord and Lady Brownl&w, left the Palace this morning in an open carriage, preceded by outriders, for an airing before luncheon. Her Majesty was looking remarkably well. The Princess Augusta, accompanied by Miss Wynyard, walked through various parts of the town this morning before , luncheon. - • The Earl and Countess of Erroll and Lady Harriet Hoste had the honour of dining with their Majesties and the Royal suite yesterday evening. The Marchioness and the Ladies Cornwallis arrived yester day, and this evening will have the honour of dining with their Majesties and the Princess Augusta. The Bishop of Chichester has just arrived, and paid his respects to their Majesties. To-morrow he will consecrate a piece of ground which has recently been added to the Old Church burial-ground. The calls at the Palace continue to be very numerous, evincing a great influx of visitors. The latest comprise— The Dowager Lady Langham (from Worthing), Sir G. and Lady Shiffner (from Combe-place), Lieutenant-General Sir R. and Lady Jones, Mr. J. and Miss Jones (from Warwick House, Worthing), Colonel Mahon, Captain Y. Martin, 67th Regiment, Mr. and Mrs. J. Dorrien Magens, from Hammer woo Lodge, near East Grinstead, the Marquis of Exeter (who has recently joined ;the Marchioness and family on the Marine Parade), Mr. Masterton Ure, Lady Rycroft, Vice- Admiral Sir Graham Moore, Major-General Sir L., Lady, and Miss Otway, Viscountess Maynard, Sir J. and Lady Fellowes. Colonel. Sir James Hope, Captain Nesbitt, Dr. Anderson, and Mr. and Mrs. Polhill are among the latest arrivals at the Marine Hote!. The Countess of SaldwiCh is expected at the Bristol Hotel next Saturday, to join her friends, Mr. B. and Lady Caroline Baring. The Marquis of Exeter has arrived, and joined his family on the Marine' Parade. _ _ Lord and Lady Beauchamp took their departure this morn ing for Worthing. Lord Wharncliffe has engaged a house on the Marine Pa rade, and Lord Clarendon has taken Lady John Townshend's house on the King's-road. Prince George of Cambridge, the Rev. Mr. Wood, Sir P. and Lady Sidney, Sir H. and Lady Taylor, and ail the Royal suite have added their names to the Chain Pier subscription list. Major-General Sir L. Otway, Lady, and Miss otway are among our arrivals. ST. LEONARD'S, Nov. 4. The journey of the Duchess of Kent and the Princess Vic toria from the Wells here has more resembled a triumphal procession than any thing else to which I can compare it. Every village—nay, almost every cotta ge on the whole line of road, has exhibited some emblematical decoration expressive of their feelings towards the illustrious travellers. After leaving Tunbridge Wells, their Royal Highnesses proceeded through Frant, Wadhurst, and Ticehurst, a new line of road, I believe, but certainly a very pleasant one. At each of these villages there was a profuse display of flowers and shrubs round the several entrances to the cottages, or whatever post could exhibit them to the greatest advantage. It seemed, in fact, a gala day for all descriptions of persons, adults and juveniles. At Wadhurst, the Castle (the residence of Major Hailly) displayed the Royal Standard. The Queen's Head Inn was also very tastefully ornamented with flowers and shrubs, and there was a variety of home-spun flags dis played, manufactured for the occasion. At Ticehurst a tri umphal arch was erected across the road facing the Bell Inn. The Crown Inn also exhibited a crown made of flowers, and the several garden gates in the village were decorated with charming bouquets. At John's-cross a variety of flags and streamers gloriously fluttered in the breeze. At Watlington green, about 40 or 50 gentlemen and yeomen, principally tenants of Sir Godfrey Webster, Bart., were drawn up on each side the road, with white wands decorated with white satin ribands, and formed an escort for the Royal party into the venerable town of Battle, at the entrance of which was erected a very handsome triumphal arch, covered with evergreens of every description, with the Royal standard, &c. ; and on the top a band of musicians was stationed, playing the national anthem and other patriotic airs, as their Royal Highnesses passed under it. A great number of the neighbouring vil lagers and the towns-people were assembled to greet them ; and the Royal party were met at the entrance to the abbey by Lady Webster. They remained here for some time, and then proceeded on their route to this place. About four miles, after leaving battle, along the road to Hastings, there was no thing but a succession of arches and processions to meet the Royal party ; so that it would require a volume of no small size to attempt detailing them. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm that prevailed among all classes. The town of Hastings was decorated with flags of all nations, every house presenting some symbol of loyalty and affection towards the Royal travellers. The mayor and jurats of Hastings, with an immense number of gentlemen on horseback, and the sere) al trades and benefit societies walking in procession with their banners, met their Royal Highnesses about a mile from the town, and then accompanied them to the Marina. at St. Leo nard's, where three houses are engaged for their Royal High_ nesses and suite. To describe the enthusiasm with which they were received here by the assembled thousands would be impossible. Immediately after entering the house the Duchess and Princess came into the balcony and repeatedly acknow ledged the hearty cheers that long and loudly rent the air. In the evening a very brilliant illumination was intended ; but, owing to the boisterous state of the weather, much of its effect was completely spoiled. Edlin's Royal St. Leonard's Hotel would have been ix blaze of light, but for the rude and unfriendly visit of old Boreas. Soon after eight o'clock a very brilliant display of fireworks took ”lace in front of the Marina, under the superintendence of M. ,Ernst, which, without a pun, re flected great credit on him. .11; fact, the whole arrangements were well made, and every thing was conducted in a highly creditable manner. In the evening the Mayor and Corpora tion of Hastings, with the gentlemen forming the committee of management, dined at the Royal St. Leonard's, and mine host did not forget to give them a dinner worthy of the occa sion which caused them to assemble.
