LONDON, EVENING, OCTOBER 27, 1831. have watched the signs of the ,ast few weeks, with the attention :annot but have perceived that the ;l1 Reform is at hand ; that the to longer submit to be taxed, and :rushed, and paralysed for the pur ;ering to the scandalous abuses of )r ge d with wealth, and bloated and which is hourly bringing dis sacred cause of religion.

Far from it. We eply regret them ; but even while got with justice assert that they are - degree to be wondered at.

We will offer odds on the people to any amount, for " Thrice is be armed that bath his quarrel just, And he but naked, though locked up in brass, Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted." It will be seen by an extract from the Notting ham iltercury, in another part of our Paper, that the Duke of NEWCASTLE, in momentary ap prehension of attack, is barricading his castle, planting it with cannon, garrisoning it with troops, victualling it with provisions, putting it, in short, into a complete state of siege. Gracious God ! what a reflection is this one fact, on the conduct of that party which his Grace so des perately espouses ! Here we have an English Nobleman, of the very highest rank, compelled, actually compelled to live in a constant state of warfare with the people—mark, with that people who by prejudice, habit, and inclination, are re spectful towards, and proud of the aristocracy —because he will not condescend to listen to their supplications, or concede their just rights. Why, his Grace is positively in no better con dition than Don MIGUEL, whose exits and whose entrances to and from Queluz are inva riably marked by the presence of a regiment of soldiers ! The boroughmongers will of course urge this fact the other way, and roundly swear that the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S situ ation is a disgrace to the English people. We, on the contrary, aver that it is a disgrace, and an indelible one, to the Anti-Reformers. They alone, and not the people, are to be con demned. They alone are the cause of all the present dissatisfaction ; and surely ifthey choose to play the part of despots, they have no right to be offended if their vassals—for what are Englishmen but vassals to the boroughmongers ? choose to hug their chains no longer. Were his Grace Of NEWCASTLE, or others among the aristocracy who adopt his views in po litics, but in the slightest degree acquainted with their countrymen, with their wants, wishes, feel ;ngs, habits, and prejudices, they would play a far different game. But the majority of the Anti Reform Peers are as ignorant of the habits of the English people as they are of the natives of Timbuctoo. They confine themselves solely to their own circles, and look on all others as without the pale of civilization and humanity. They have few sympathies with the middle, still fewer with the lower classes. They are ex clusives in fashion—exclusives in habits—ex clusives in opinions—exclusives in each and every thing. They talk, indeed, of the people, but it is all chatter, nothing more. What can they possibly know of the wants or wishes of their countrymen ? For three months in the year they are boxed up in their palaces at the West end, among their own particular set ; thence in due season they are whirled down in carriages and four, inaccessible to the rude gaze of the multitude, to their different provincial re sidences ; where their acquaintance with the middle or lower classes is restricted to an occa sional condescending gossip with the parish priest, an approving bow to a punctual tenant, or a sporting stroll with an obsequious gamekeeper. This system is rigidly adhered to through life, and the majority of our Peers descend to the grave, in the even ing, as wholly unacquainted with the people, as they were in the morning, of their days. And yet these are tile men, this the class, that presumes to decide on a question involving the interests of the whole community ! Were they qualified for the arduous task, their de cision, however ungracious it might be, would, at least, be respected ; as it is, it is viewed only with contempt. The people cannot but be aware that their interests are op posed by a class of men who know nothing of them—who are independent of them—who have no communion with them—who have no sym pathy with them. They are consequently im patient under their yoke, and anxious for the hour of their deliverance. They ask nothing from the Peers but justice; they take nothing from the boroughmongers but that which is their• own by right, and which the Constitution entitles them to demand. And this right, this justice, they must and will obtain. The whole country is not in motion for nothing. It is engrossed with no child's play, to engage attention for the moment, and then to be laid aside and forgotten. No, no. The moral cholera of Reform is spreading from man to man, from town to town, from county to county ; it infects all ranks, all classes, and even now compels the boroughmongers to believe and tremble. • The address of the Belgian Minister for Fo reign Affairs, in submitting to the Chamber the project of the Law of Acceptance of the Articles of the Conference, affords abundant evidence of the general bitterness of feeling which now per vades the Belgian nation at the treatment it has received at the hands of the Great Powers. M. DE MEULENAERE speaks in that subdued and pathetic tone which proves the conduct of the Belgian Government to be actuated solely by fear of the consequences of opposition, while it is deeply sensible of the injury that has been in- , flicted on the national honour and independence. It remains to be seen whether the Chamber of Representatives will sanction the ready acquies cence which the KING and his Ministers are disposed to yield to the will of the Conference. We still think the determination of the Chamber extremely doubtful ; for if, on the one hand, there is reason in the Minister's argument, that neces sity is the first law,--on the other hand, th e Chamber cannot overlook the strong feelin g o f their constituents, and, in fact, of the whole Belgian people, against submission to what they deem an act of cruel injustice. We are satis fied, from the tenour of the Belgic Journals for some time past, as well as from intelligence that has reached us from other sources, that the Belgians have been grievously disappointed and mortified at the course which their affairs have taken, under the guidance of the Conference, to the exclusion of their own participation in their management. King LEOPOLD is personally a very popular Sovereign ; but let us suppose he had shown a disposition to resist the will of his creators, and the enthusiasm of the people would have been without bounds. His MAJESTY may have taken the wisest course in seeking to avert war, but it is not certain that he has followed the right road to confirm himself in the affections of his subjects. The Carlists declare that the step he has taken has ruined him for ever—an exag geration which we should not think worth no tice, if we did not see cause for apprehension in every act of a Sovereign that is at variance with the wishes of his people. In England we are so absorbed by our internal politics, that neither Belgium, nor Poland, nor, in fact, any Foreign State, has attracted to it a sufficient share of attention, for the people of England to be ex actly aware of the justice or merits of its com plaints. What we think somewhat unfortunate, is the prevalent disposition in this country with regard to our foreign policy, to consider that whatever is, is right. Far be it from us to un dervalue the motives of the Conference of Lon don, but we really ought to be somewhat eau ' tious of diplomacy, when we have in the recent history of Belgium such an example of the vil lainous working of the Treaty of Vienna,—a Treaty which not only was the long theme of approbation with the Tories, but many of its provisions were highly satisfactory to the Whigs, —so that the Edinburgh Review reflected com placently on the Union of Belgium and Holland, calling it " the best Legacy of the Congress of Vienna." The effect of this now deservedly odious Treaty, ought to make people somewhat cautious in placing too implicit confidence in the justice of protocol-makers, and the more so, since the right assumed by the Great Powers over the affairs of Belgium and Holland, is pre tended to be derived from the circumstance of those Powers having been parties to that very Treaty of Vienna, which all politicians of com mon honesty, and not of the LONDONDERRY school, are now unanimous in condemning. By another and last Protocol, made since the transmission of the twenty-four articles, the Bel gian share of the debt has been very consider ably modified, with reference to information subsequently laid before Lord PALMERSTON. By a mis-translation of one of the twenty-four articles, it was made to appear that Belgium was to indemnify Holland for the expellees of the war since October last. No such thing • was ever intended, the expellees in question being relative to the arrangement of the debt, as will appear by reference to the articles in the French. No further news has arrived this morning from Brussels, where the Government is using every exertion to procure the acceptance of the Protocols, and is said to be confident of success with the Chamber. The fleet ordered to the Scheldt is in anticipation of the continued obsti nacy of the King of HOLLAND. A private letter, received from a respectable and influential gentleman at Halifax, says " the Americans, dissatisfied with the decision of the sapient DUTCH King as to the boundary lines, has unceremoniously overstepped them, meaning himself to fix them. An officer has been sent hence to ascertain the particulars, and to enquire if it be thought necessary to despatch a force from this garrison. We learn by the Brussels Papers that the citadel of Antwerp, like Clumber Castle, is de clared in a state of siege. By the Hamburg Journals, it appears that the cholera is still on the increase, though slowly, in that city ; and that it is supposed to have reached Altona ALTONA, OCT. la—The day before yesterday the wife of a citizen died suddenly under circumstances which the physi cians recognised, and declared to be proofs of Asiatic cholera. In consequence, a notice has been issued to-day that no pass ports with certificates of health will be delivered for the pre. sent. We have not heard of any other case. COPENHAGEN, OCT. 15.—1 t is reported that part of the troops in garrison here will be employed in guarding the coast, as the country people, debilitated by the disorder, can no longer perform this service. It is not mentioned what disorder has afflicted the peasantry, but there is no account of cholera in Denmark. HANOVER, OCT. 15.—His Royal Highness the Viceroy is gone to Oldenburgh, on a visit to the Grand Duke. On his way back he will visit Bremerhafen to view the harbour, and Verdes to inspect the new dikes. LUBECK, OCT. 16.—The Nicholas I. steam-boat, arrived late yesterday evening from Cronstadt in the read of Traverounde, with twenty-one passengers. These will be put on board another ship in quarantine, and the steam-boat will return to Cronstadt on Saturday the 22d, being the last voyage for this season. Among the passengers are Count LudolL the Neapolitan Ambas sador, Dr. Cloquet, a French physician, Drs. Russell and Barry, and Mr. Bayley, the English Vice-Consul, &c. CHOLERA.—HAMBURG, Orr. IS.

Letton, Member of the Chamber of Representatives, and our Minister Plenipotentiary at Paris, arrived at Brussels yesterday afternoon. The fourth battalion of the 4th Regiment are going to join the army of reserve. A great number of cannon left Brussels this morning for Antwerp. The Chamber of Representatives is summoned for to-day, by letters addressed to the Ministers at their own houses, which say, " to receive a communication from the Government." The French Ambassador at Brussels despatched a courier from the Hague on Friday evening. We learn that he is ex pected to return every moment. Just as we are going to press we learn that a courier has arrived from Holland. BRUSSELS, OCT. 2.5.—8ar0n Stockmar arrived yesterday afternoon from London. He was in a carriage with four horses, preceded by two couriers. It is supposed that he was the bearer of important despatches. He immediately went to the King's Palace. _ _ . Two English and one Belgian Cabinet messengers set out yesterday afternoon with despatches,—one for the Hague, one for London, and the third for Paris. CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES, Oct. 4. The President announced that the Chamber had been in voked in consequence of the following letter to him from the Minister for Foreign Affairs : " Majesty having expressed to me his earnest desire that the Chambers might, without delay, proceed to examine and discuss the project of law relative to the twenty-four articles of the treaty of peace imposed on Belgium by the Conference at London, I have the honour to request you to convoke the Chamber of Representatives for to-morrow, in order to commu nicate to it the intentions of the King. (Signed) " DE MUELENAERE." " Brussels, Oct. 23." M. de Robaulx—ls this the communication announced to us ? The President—M. de Muelenaere is not present. M. de Rodenbach—ln Friday's sitting I asked that the treaty of peace sho dbe referred to the sections. I think we ought seriously to direct our attention to it. We are called upon to give up to our enemies half of Limburg, half of Luxemburg, with three or 400,000 of our brethren ; arid besides this ; to pay Ito our enemies interest to the amount of several millions. This merits reflection, and it will always be soon enough to make such enormous sacrifices. The Chambers ought to have time to examine the project of law in the section. M. Devaux said—This Seemed to be what the Minister de. sired, for his letter says to examine and discuss. After sonic farther conversation the sitting was suspended till the arrival of M. de 31culenaere, who said the motives for which his Majesty desires that the Chamber should take into conside ration, Without delay, the 24 articles of the treaty, originate in communications which haVe been made to me by Sir Robert Adair and General Belliard, and which are not quite proper io be published. I request the Chamber to assemble in a Secret Committee that I may acquaint it with them.—Seconded. M. Pirson—The Assembly seems to consent to the Secret Committee. I agree ; but would wish the Minister of War should be invited to be present. The remainder of the public sitting was occupied W ith dis: cussing the subject of three petitions, claiming indemnity for losses sustained in consequence of the war—such as the ruin of the Polders, the burning of houses in Brussels, &c. The Minister of War having entered the Hall, the President ordered the galleries to be cleared, and the Chamber remained sitting in a Secret Committee. It is reported that in the Secret Committee 31. de Muelenaere communicated a new Protocol (No. 48.), signed after M. Van de Weyer left London, which relates to the debt, not changing the amount to be paid by us, but altering its nature and partition. The Emancipation says despatches have arrived from the Hague. We believe we may say that, without announcing the assent of the King of Holland to the twenty-four articles, they are of such a nature as to give hopes that the news of his assent may be every moment expected. The Counrier, however, says :—" It is affirmed that the King of Holland has refused his assent to the twenty-four articles, and has hastened to signify his refusal to the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Powers at London, that lie may be at liberty to renew hostities at the expiration of the armistice." The entrenchments erected round Ghent are now provided with artillery. Every day additional pieces of cannon of large size are sent thither. The citadel also is in a formidable state of defence. The citadel of Antwerp is declared in a state of siege. This morning (the 25th) the Chamber of Representatives met in sections to examine the budget. In the evening there will be another Secret Committee. CHOLERA.—BERLIN. New Cases. Recoveries. Deaths. Oct. 16 61 14 36 17 34 16 22 18 50 23 26 19 39 7 22 Remain 191. PETERSBUItGH. New Cases.

A Court was held this morning for the despatch of city busi ness, and it was fully attended in consequence of some discus sion being looked for upon the subject of the regulations to be adopted in the city, to preserve the public health, in the event of the cholera morbus reaching this country. The following notice of motion was placed upon the notice paper : " That the minute of the Committee of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, dated the 2(lth of October, with the report of the Board of Health, in relation to the disease called cholera morbus, be referred to a Special Committee of this Court, to take such measures as may be deemed requisite to give effect to the suggestions therein contained." The LORD MAYOR having taken the chair, the proceed ings of the last Court were read. THE KING'S ANSWER TO THE CITY ADDRESS. The LORD MAYOR laid before the Court his Majesty';: answer to the address agreed to at the last Court, relative to the Reform Bill. The answer was read and ordered to be inserted in the minutes of the Court, amidst loud cries of " Hear, hear." On the question that the sermon preached before the Lord Mayor on the 29th September last, by the Lord Mayor's Chap lain, be printed, some conversation took place upon the sub ject. A Member of the Court hoped that the practice would never be done away with. It was of the utmost importance that all Corporations should have preached before them sound constitutional doctrines—(Cheers)—and the printing of these sermons would deter any man from difflising any principles op posed to religious or political liberty.—(Cheers.) A vote of thanks was then passed to the Rev. Mr. Smith for the sermon. THE CHOLERA MORELS. Mr. C. PEARSON rose and said he did so to refer the pro clamation of the Privy Council to a Committee of the Court. That proclamation had, no doubt, been read by every member of that Court, and he thought it necessary that some steps should be taken to prevent the disease from reaching this country, which had nearly depopulated other places. He diAl not wish to excite alarm, but he thought it of the utmost importance that measures should be taken to prepare for the arrival of that malady. lie should propose that Ward Committees should be appointed to look after the cleanliness of the lower orders. The Hon. Gentleman then referred to the reports of typhus in 1820, which had led to inquiries, and the result was, that St. Giles and other places were visited, and cleansed. A great moral good was then effected, and he had no doubt, should the cholera reach this country great good would be effected. It was well known that fear would predispose the poor, ill-fed, and unhealthy part of the people, to be infected. He intended that a portion of the funds of this Corporation should be applied to cleanse and to afford generous food to the poor. The use of spirits was stated as a cause to predispose the people, and the too freely engaging in the luxuries of the table was also injurious. He thought, therefore, that the Corporation dinners should be done away, and generous food given to the poor in the city.— (Cheers.) The Court of Aldermen had taken up the sub ject, and he trusted that, as the proclamation stated all Courts would be opened, that the Aldermen would go on with a honest rivalry in endeavouring to prevent the spreading of the cholera in this country. There was no doubt now that the cholera was a communicable di, ease, and, as prudent men, they would not do their duty if they did not take active steps. London now was what it was previously to the fire of London—at that time the terror which prevailed caused the disease to spread. Lord Clarendon, on coming back to London at that time, said that all his friends had fled, as had the well-fed pastors. He trusted this would not now be the case. He prayed Heaven that the mea sures they would take would not prove useless—but cleanliness was next to godliness, and great good would ensue. He should propose that members of the 'Wards should form this Committee. He said again that he would be the last man in the world to excite alarm, but he thought now was the time to take pru. dential measures, as, when the disease came, if it should come, then would fear be excited. He concluded by moving the ap pointment of a Ward Committee. Mr. PEACOCK seconded the motion. Mr. TICKNER fully coincided with nearly all that had fallen from the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. C. Pearson). It was necessary to take measures to prevent, if possible, the insi. dious disease. The motion will be carried no doubt unanimously. The Committee are to report from time to time. THE FUNDS.--(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK. Up to the present hour we have no arrivals of consequence. A Dutch mail has arrived, but it is not of a recent date, and only brings letters and papers of the 23d. A private letter has been received by the above conveyance, of the 23d, stating that the King of Holland has refused the treaty, and will not accept of any thing but the eighteen articles ; but we attach great suspi cion to the above letter, and do not credit its assertion. The King of Belgium has accepted the treaty, and there is no doubt but the King of Holland must do the same. The public are anxiously waiting the arrival of the Dutch steamer, which no doubt will throw some light on the subject. A letter from Ant ;cop states, that they did not expect the decision of the Belgian present.at % Congress to take place until Thursday, but that a Belgian vessel consequence 64 f. oc., o u r o fot Fondsh pe e F n e ,opened e h n aa c yt h e: F 2 i i n : d wo s ve c e dn o t m was suffered to pass the Dutch squadron after the armistice had igherby ah the tl expired. up Ciuogn t o hs e w ft-c h s i tao c priceye st yesterday a a t r B: fetltne, caooun withitii ,g,at 82% % HALF-PAST ONE.

The apology—and sad it is that tine conduct of Rishope, men who should furnish examplegfor oorrect in others, shnnli need an apology....—of oir correspondent, who would fain screen Dr. Carr from the odium which him enmity to Reform has coat npon hire, is in the following words t— _ _ "When the see of Worcester was offered t him by Lord Grey, he expressed his willingness to accept it, if it were to be considered in performance of the pledge made •o him by his late Majesty, which was, that be should hare the first Church preferment which became vacant ; but if nit acceptation of the Bishopric was to be conside re d a. an earne.t. that hP should support the Reform Bill, he ehonid then decline it." It will be gathered from this defence, that the only ef fort made is to avert the charge of ingratitude. Ttl Bishop's adtocate writes his client down an enemy to Re form, the being which we consider an act of irgratirmie to the country at large, but more particularly ton certain class of persons in Brighton an I Chicnes:or, who are not only Reformers from erinciple, but have been most bad gent to this said Bishop, who, mark! world only consent, " good, easy man," to accept the vacant Bishopric of Wor cester, as a fulfilment of a pledge—a pledge! (was it not a promise?)--of the late King. Dr. Garr, therefore, based his promotion, not on his own Inerits—not ac a reward for his humble labours in promadog piety and learning and honest dea'ing to all his neiehbours—het on the pleake of a deceased Monarch, unequalled in our nuelern history for his patronage of those the most wanting in virtues. Dr. Carr's friends assert that his moistest is not dis pleasing to Earl Grey, nor to his Majesty ; and iu proof, they say that the Bishop 1611 remains in favour at the Palace, and still continues Clerk of the Closet. We trust that this matter will be put beyond eliepate; and it now rename to he seen whether Earl Grey did reallj subscribe to the condition atipulced ny Dr. Carr. If so, it will but prove that Anti-Reformers we mot very": " disgra. cious :" if, on the contrary, it was implied that the Bishop of Worcester should promote the King's wishes And assist the people in regaining their rights, his Lordship is bound to use influence to c:ase the removal from ahout the King's person of one who Las deceived the ju.t expecta tions elan indulgent Minister ; because, this is very clew, that Dr. Carr's limited acquirements would never hare raised him to a Bishopric.—Brighron Guardian.

Great interest was attached to the proceedings at Guild hall this morning, as it was understood that the friends and supporters of Alderman Farebrother would make a grand effort to show their strength. But few of the Livery, however, came forward to oppose the Lord Mayor and the cause of Reform. Fur the Lord Mayor and Alder- . man Kelly the polling was rather brisk. Mr. Alderman Farebrother has as much chance of success as Sir Peter Laurie had. At twelve o'clock the numbers were:— The Lord'Mayor l3O Kelly 725 Farebrother 177 COURT CIRCULAR. The Princess AUGUSTA came to town yesterday morn ing from her residence at Frogmore. Her Royal High ness left her residence in the Bailee, at St. Jimes's, in the afternoon, on her return to Frogmore. Baron ZUVLEN DE NYEVELT, on a special mission from the King of the NETHERLANDS, had an interview with Viecount PALMERSTON, at the Foreign-office yesterday. The Right Hon. Sir STRATFORD CANNING and Lord COWLEY transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Lord DURHAM left town yesterday morning for Brussels. Lord HOLLAND left town on Tuesday for Brighton. Their MAJESTIES will leave .Windsor on Saturday for the Pavi!ion at Brighton. Despatches were received this morning at the Colonial•office from Barbadoes. There were no arrivals at the Foreign-office this morning. Prince LIEVEN, the Russian Ambassador, is said to have asserted, that according to the official returns, the number of deaths, taken as a whole, du: ing the preva lence of the cholera at Moscow, was absolutely less than in ordinary times. This is attributed to the people refraining from drinking, and other habits of dissipation. We may add, that where the disease has raged most violently, the average number cf deaths has never been more than doubled. —Times. BIRTII.—On the 26th instant, in York terrace, the lady of ADAM Duni-, Esq. of a son. We have great pleasure in stating that their MAJESTIES are expected to he at their Palace at Brighton on Saturday, probably for several months, but with such absences of course as the important affairs of State may im periously call for.—Brighton Guardian. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY arrived at his seat, Wynyard.pai k, in the county of Durham, on Monday last. A ludicrous scene occurred yesterday after noon at the south portico of the Royal Exchange. A gen tleman, who had ordered his carriage to be in attendance for him, found his coachman so drunk as to be unable to drive him home. He made him, therefore, dismount from the box, and, taking the reins himself, drove off, leaving coachee, in a smart new livery, exposed to the laughter and ridicule of the mob, which his situation naturally excited. We understand a communication has been re ceived in Exe'er, from a Magistrate in Somerset, stating that there appears good reason for thinking that delegates on foot are moving from the north, westward, in order to excite riot and disorder. We trust the inhabitants of this city are too enlightened and well disposed to Ind them selvea to the artful and evil designs of tbese men. Western Luminary.-lytidge!] EMIGRANTS.—Fifteen thousand emigrants had arrived in the western districts of Upper Canada since the opening of navigation in the spring to the 10th of September. We regret to hear that the typhus fever is at present very prevalent at Alnwick.— Tyne Mercury. CLERKENWELL POLITICAL UNION.—A meeting of the inhabitants of Clerkenwell took place at the John's Gate, St. John's-square, yesterday evening, for the purpose of con-iderint the propriety of forming, in that pettish, a Political Union. Mr. GREGORY was eta-d to the Chair, and bri , fly explained that the object of the meeting was to consider the propriety of forming a Politi cal Union to promote Reform, preserve peace, and protect property by all legal and proper means. Mr. Mottrlix, after a brief speech, moved, •‘ That it is expedient to form a Clerkenwell Royal and Patriotic Political Union, upon the b sis of the Birmingham Political Union." The re solution was carried. A Committee of seven persons was appointed to draw up the rules and regulations, to be communicated to the Society at some future time. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. THE BISHOPS IN 1641..—1 t was the con stant aim of that united and " compact phalanx," the Bishops, to prevent all reformation in Church or State ' during the reign of CHARLES the First, and to support him in al! his arbitrary views and artifices. It was this which induced the Presbyterians and Puritans to get a Bill passed through both Houses of Parliament for the ex clusion of the Bishops from their seats in the House of Lords—the question of their right to sit there having, in deed, long previously been agitated. This memorable Bill p:ssed the Commons on the 11th of March, 1640-1, and passed the Lords on the 27th of Miy following. The Act for the exclusion of Bishops from the House of Peers, which passed in the reign of CHARLES the First, was re pealed on the restoration of CHARLES the Second, namely, in the year 1661.—Norfolk East Anglia. " Within the last few days, " says the MeSSager des Ckambres, " a great many English have arrived in Paris. They state that many more of their countrymen, particularly of the higher classes in their native country, not f ee li n g themselves free from alarm, .have resolved upon a temporary absence frotn England, and will come and reside in the capital of France." [The fact that a considerable number of English have arrived in Paris is perfectly true; but we need scarcsly point out the utter absurdity of the reason assigned for it. Happily, no apprehension can rea sonably exist, either as to the physical or moral state of England. The cholera continues far distant from her shores, and every post brings us accounts more and more satisfactory of the tranquility of the whole country.]— Galignani's Messenger. CHURCH OF IRELAND. (Prom the Morning Chronicle. ) We are much mistaken i 4 the symptotos described ire the following article, from the Dublin Morning Post, he not the expiring throes of the Prutestant Church of Ireland. Let that of England take warn;tig in time COLLECTION or Thurs.—The following is extracted from a letter, which appears in the Eeenin, Mail, pur porting, and we believe truly, to be written by a Clergy.. man of the Established Church, resident in the emanty of Kilkenny. We have struck out what may be called the stuffing of the letter, which contists of abuse against the Catholics of Ireland, Bishop Doyle, and his Majesty's. Mi nisters. We give the marrow of the r iefle, however, be cause we have reason to know that the sta:ement of facts is substantially correct; but chiefly, however, for the re commendation with which the letter conchae!, as the necessity of making the Government of the country to: great ti he collector. We believe it is elifheult enough to collect the taxes, or county rate.', and we imagine that Mi nisters will not volunteer in the new office which the Church of Ireland seems so ready to aasign them. The following are the excretal' 1 — " The state of the Queen's County, Kilkenny, Wex ford, Carlow, and parts of Kildare and other adjoining counties is simply this :—an organised and systematic re sistance to tithes exists throughout them—a resistance carried on by every possible means, either of open hosti lity, or avowed intimidation. The consequence le, that in many parishes the clergymen are at this moment in the greatest distress, the majority of them having large fa milies. The Protestant clergyman has no other resource but either to starve in contented penury, or if he doer seek to obtain those rights to which the laws entitle him, to bring down upon himself the perseeurion s and vengeance of every Papist, infidel, and radical, who, however they may differ in other respects, agree in making common cause against him. I po i nt eat many pstiotiee. where the clergyman would hardly dare to ask any of Isis Catholic parishioners for tithes. Intimidation has used to such a degree that I may almost say the clergy man stands alone. Any man that has the manliness air courage to assist him, is denounced at once. hie person en dangered, and his property injured and destroyed. The consequence is, that it is new almost impossible to obtain a Proctor by any means, either to value, receive, or hays anything whatever to do with tithes. Is he to be the seller and the buyer, and the asctioaeer, and the pound keeper, all at the same time, and to oppose in his own person, or perhaps with the assistance of at most one or two more, an angry mob, for he can olot,in no assistance from those around him, nor call open the police to protect him until a breach of the peace has been committed ? I really do not know how there Clergymen who are alto gether dependent on their livings (which the great majo rity are) will be able to exist, if Government withholds its interference. The idea of litigating (even though suc cessful in the end) every individual sans eine for tithe throughout a parish, would be as impracticable, as during the proceedings it would be impossible. 'Where is the money to do so to come from, and what is the Clergy man and his family to subsist on in the mean time? The very means by which a successful terminatien could alone he expected, is the matter in dispute; and I see no other rem iurce for a Clergyman, except to become an actual mendicant for any portion of his own property which his plunderers may think fit to spare. Mr. Stanley is re ported to have asked, what were the Government to do ? If be is sincere in asking the question, let him adopt a suggestion, wiiich I will take upon me to say, will meet with the approbation of most of the Clergy. Let Govern ment collect the tithes, each Clergyman giving th' m a power of attorney recallable at pleasure, to do so, and paying a suitable collection. I ere bat one course Ict for the Protestant Laity as well as Clergy in Ireland, and that is, a systematic and organized emigration from this un happy country to distant and more peaceab'e shores." Emigration, no doubt, if practicable, would be a good plan; and the Clergy reserves in Canada would furnish convenient retreat.--having this advantage besides, that t e Parson would have still fewer souls to superintend than in Ireland, there being no inhabitant, in or near nine-tenths of those forret lands. This, in itself, would be a great good, fur there would be no one to fielt withal, but the wolves anti bears. But as to the transportation of the Protestant Laity, we must say it is an extravagant proposition, and would not, If carried into effect, con tribute very materially to the advantage of time Clergy, the Protestants being infinitely more opposed to tith ea than the Papists themselves—a proposition which may be demonstrated from Swift, from History, from the re solutions of the Irish House of Commons, front experience, anti from the writings of the late Doctor Phelan, directed, an the latter are, with special vehesntreee, against the Irish landlord.. But seriously, the condition of the incumbent, in se veral parts of the country is deplorable ening". They alive rendered themselves, we admit, extremely unpopular. But waiving all considerations of this kind—we are satis fied that the period is at length at hand, of a great change in the Church. The system cannot muck longer be carried on. It is falling into ruins by its wrn weilAt— ruit mole sun. We would wish to tare the actual incum bents. We would secure to every M3ll all that lie has right to, his actual income for life. Indeed we never met an honest and sane Reformer who had any other inten tion. And the Bishops' Lands would be amply snikeient for this purpose. If the Church be not taken in hands in time—the dies ins, dies ilia will envelope it in one wide spreading ruin. THE CASSOWARY.—An instance of the faci lity with which this clan of birds swallow hard substances took place a few days since, in a fine adult bird at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. Carpenters bad been employed! in erecting palings round a paddock intended for this bird, the tops of which bad been sawn off, consistieg of pieces from one to two inches in length by an inch in thickness, most of them cut with extremely sharp angles. Thirty one of these pieces, with a piece of brick about the stole size, and a tenpenny nail, had been picked tip by the bird, the whole of which passed through the stomach at ons time, without any apparent inconvenience. The Augsburg Gazette of the 16th inst. con tains the following, dated Passau, Oct.
