LORD MAYOR'S DAY. Yesterday was as usual a busy day for the citizens of London. The far-famed " ninth" of November occurring on a Sunday, Mr. Alderman Winchester was sworn to the performance of his civic duties on Saturday ; but the lighter and more agreeable portions of that ceremony which annually delights the eyes of wondering thousands were fined to take place on the Monday. The weather was not propitious, but had it been much worse, we doubt if the ardour of the sight-loving denizens of the metropolis would • have been in the slightest degree abated. The new Lord Mayor, too, it was generally rumoured, would carry mat ters with a high band ; expense was not to be .spared. All that could give eclat to him and the city which thus honoured him was ordered to be provided. And well were these orders executed ; for in spite of foul weather, the pageant was a gorgeous and captivating one. By eleven o'clock all the civic functionaries were in attendance at Guildhall, and in a few minutes were marshalled in the usual order of procession. The cavalcade was of great length, embodying the -" pride, pomp, and circumstance" of the many Companies of the city. There were knights and pursuivants, beadles and aldermen, chaplains and barge masters, trumpeters and farriers, watermen and coachmen, clerks and gentlemen, banners and kettle-drums, armourers and esquires, standard-bearers and city solicitors, purse bearers and cup-bearers, common pleaders and judges, sheriffs and sheriff's officers, livery servants and marshalmen,in greater abundance than ever ; all of whom proceeded, followed by the Lord Mayor, "in his state • carriage, drawn by six horses, attended by the chaplain, sword-hearer, common crier, and water-bailiff," to Southwark-bridge, where they entered the various state barges and proceeded to West minster. At this time the weather became finer, and the sight was in consequence of a more agreeable character. The shore, on either side, as well as the bridges, were of course thronged, and ever and anon the cannon boomed along theVaterlioarsely announcing the demise of a Fare brother, and the advent of a Winchester to the high office of Lord May or of London. The usual ceremonies having been gone through, in the Court of Exchequer, the Lord Mayor proceeded to the different Courts to invite the Judges of the land to dine with him, which, being good judges, they of course readily consented to do. His Lord ship then proceeded to Lambeth Palace, no doubt on the same "hospitable thopghts intent," and then returned to Blackfriars'-bridge, and entered his carriage. Here his Lordship was joined by the Lady Mayoress in her new and splendid state carriage, by the foreign Ambassadors, by his Majesty's Ministers, and other persons of distinction, invited to the feast to be given at the Guild-hall. The procession being marshalled, moved on and arrived at its destination about four o'clock ; all the windows in the line of its route being graced by the presence of elegant and well-dressed femalOs. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1834. THE DINNER. In the evening, the usual banquet was provided in the ancient Hall of the City, which was fitted up, if possible, with a more than ordinary degree of splendour. The cam pony was equally numerous with that on former occasions, many persons being compelled to dine at tables laid out in the old court and other adjoining rooms. The sight was one of the most animating and splendid that could possibly be conceived. At half-past six, the flourish of trumpets an nounced the approach of the Lord Mayor, who entered the Hall and paraded round it, accompanied by the following guests :—The Lord High Chancellor, Lord Viscount Mel bourne, Lord Viscount Palmerston, the Earl of Mulgrave, the Duke of Richmond, the Speaker of the House of Commons, several of the Foreign Ambassadors, the Master of the Rolls, the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, the Recorder, Sir James Scarlett, the Right Honourable Charlei Tennyson, M.P., Mr. Cutlar Ferguson, M.P., Colonel Leith Hay, M.P., the Members for the City, and several of those for the Metropolitan boroughs, the late Lord Mayor, &c. &c. " Non nobis, Domine," having been sung, the LORD MAYOR gave, as the first toast, 4- Church and King," which was received at the upper tables with considerable applause, though with no little astonishment. In the body of the Hall there was a slight hissing. " God save the King! " was then sung by the professional gentlemen present, the company standing. The Queen" was the next toast, which was very warmly received ; and this was followed by " The Princess Victoria and the rest of the Royal Family," which was also cordially received by the company. " The Wooden Walls of Old England," three times three. The Loan MAYOR then proposed " The Great Captain of the age, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, and the Army," prefacing the toast with some observations, which were utterly unintelligible to us, and, as we afterwards found, to persons very much nearer to his Lordship. We are sorry to say that this was the case throughout the evening, not one sentiment which fell from his Lordship being audible in the place assigned to the Reporters. The toast was very well received. " The late Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Farebrother." Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHER was understood to express his warmest thanks for the great honour which had been conferred upon him by the company. He came into office determined to do his duty, fearless of all consequences, and he hoped that in retiring from that exalted situation, he might carry with him the assurance that he had not failed in the task he had imposed upon himself. All the high functions of that office he returned to them unimpaired, and be believed unsullied. He had his own principles, from which he had not swerved ; but in demanding respect for them, he would ever be willing to concede the same respect to the principles of those who might differ in opinion with him. He retired into private life, thanking them for the support they had rendered him, and assuring them of his unabated anxiety for the honour and prosperity of their city.—(Applause.) The LORD MAYOR, in a speech, not one word of which we could hear, but which elicited frequent applause from those more immediately surrounding him, proposed " The health of the Lord High Chancellor of England." On the Toast-master announcing it in his full, round voice, to the assembled Hall, the applause was loud, con tinued, and, as it appeared to us, very general. The LORD CHANCELLOR said—My Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, I rise to express to you, as well as I can, the great gratitude which I feel for the very kind reception which has been given to my name ; and, more particularly, to offer my especial thanks to your worthy Chief Magis trate, for the expressions which he has been pleased to couple with the toast ; and which, I faintriustsay, are.much too high for any services I have attempted to render to my country. Your Chief Magistrate has said that which I am, indeed, proud to think is quite true, that this is not the first time I have had the honour of being noticed in this I lall. I have passed, professionally, a considerable period of my time under this roof ; and within these walls I have bad the happiness to form habits of intercourse, of friendly and confidential intercourse, with many of my fellow-citi zens.—(Applause.) I have had the honeur, on occasions like the present, to meet men of the most distinguished abilities, of the niost unsullied character, public and pri vate ; and of this I can assure you, that it is always with feelings of warm satisfaction ~ and of honest pride, that I look forward to the day when I may again meet you and them in this the ancient Hall of your great and free city.—(Applause). And believe me, that those principles which first recommended me to your notice, and which ultimately gained me your confidence, are the same which now regulate my conduct—(Loud applause) ; that which I formerly advocated I now in nowise depart from. Believe me, I say the principles which were holden by me when out of power, have been holden by me since 1 have been in power, and that they will be ever acted on by me now that I am a member of his Majesty's councils. (Great applause). I may have the misfortune to differ in my opinions, and in my principles with some of my fellow citizens ; but granting to them the same integrity of motive which I claim for myself—believing that they hold their opinions honestly and from conviction, and ceding to them the free exercise of those principles and opinions, I must beg for myself and my colleagues that same manly consideration which we in fairness and in justice yield to others.—(Applause). This is true toleration —aye, and it is common sense too ; for the interests of the public are mainly thereby secured and promoted.— (Applause). Your Chief Magistrate has been pleased to allude to amendments which I have been instrumental in in various branches . proposing branches of our national institutions. My principle as a Statesman, as a Legislator, as a Judge, has ever been this—that the better you could make your laws, the more comfort would there be to the Judge in their administration, the more safety to the Statesman, and the more honour to the law-giver.—(Applause.) I will add only one word—that while abuse exists, it shall not be countenanced by me, but that with others I will seek out for a safe and rational remedy—(Applause)—and that while there is an institution in the country that can be improved. they who seek its improvement shall ever find in me—a feeble—that I will not deny, but most certainly a zealous and an honest supporter.—(Great applause.) 1 thank you again for the kind reception you have given me—it is only what I have always experienced ; and I sit down with the heartiest wishes for the continued and unabated prosperity of this great metropolis.—(Consid era bl e c h eer i ng. ) In a few moments the Loan CHANCELLOR rose again, and, after a brief eulogium, proposed the health of the Lord Mayor, which was drunk with three times three, and duly acknowledged by his Lordship. " Lord Melbourne and his Majesty's Ministers," was the next toast given from the Chair. It was received both at the hustings' tables, and in the body of the Hall, with con siderable applause. . Lord MELBOURNE said, that he deeply felt the honour which had been conferred upon him and his colleagues, all of whom, he could assure them, felt a strong interest in that immense and wealthy capital—the emporium of the world— ' hick, when the rest of the country presented a barren and uncultivated aspect, had shone forth as a cheering example, at once embellished by art, and dignified by learning. Happy was he to find the continued good understanding which pre vailed between his Majesty's Ministers and the inhabitants of that great city, a reciprocity which was of the highest importance to the best interests of the State, and which he, therefore, devoutly hoped would never be impaired or done away with.—(Cheers.) And here he would beg to remind those who heard him, and many who were not pre sent, with whom he had formerly held, to him a valuable, in tercourse, that the situation he had then the honour to oc cupy, took him to other duties than these which formerly ap pertained to his office, and hence he could not have that frequent communication with them which he had been accustomed to. Were he, however, still to hold his former situation, there would not now be that absolute necessity for constant intercourse which at one time existed. They had their times of difficulty ; but, luckily, they were passed away, irritations which once fiercely prevailed were now extinguished ; but between the Home Office and the heads of the city there had prevailed—in all those crises, which they should all hope had for ever passed away, such mu tual confidence, and such cordial co-operation, that the public peace had been preserved without difficulty, and certainly at a much less cost than without such a happy union of feeling and of action could possibly have been the case.—(Applause.) He begged most distinctly to say, that from every lord mayor, and from every sheriff—what ever might be the different shades of their politics—he had ever received the most cordial assistance in the preservation of the public peace ; and that this good understanding and cordial co-operation might still continue under his Lord ship's jurisdiction, was his fervent hope and his full antici pation.—(Applause.) The LORD MAYOR proposed " The Duke of Richmond and the House of Peers." The Duke of RICHMOND, in acknowledging the toast, observed that he - had always looked upon the existence of the House of Lords in the light of an independent branch of our natural institutions, and as necessary for the uphold ing the just privileges and prerogatives of the Crown, and for the support and protection of the liberties of the people. —(Hear, hear.) He had always endeavoured to do his duty to his King and his country, and he should never dacken in those efforts.—(Applause.) Though retired now from office, and fulfilling on!y the duties of a country gentleman, he was ready to come forward when duty prompted him, and he could honestly declare that he would be one of the first to step forward in defence of the rights and privileges of that city, or in support of any . of the che- rished institutions of his country. There were many others in the House of Lords equally alive to their rights and in terests, for all of whom, as for himself, he begged to return the warmest thanks.—(Applause.) The Earl of MULGRAVE proposed the ,health of the Lady Mayoress, which was received in a very flattering manner. The LORD MAYOR proposed—" The health of the Speaker of the House of Commons."—(Considerable cheers.) The SPEAKER said, it was impossible he should not feel deeply the honour the company conferred on him, and the flattering manner in which they had received his name ; and it was equally impossible he should not feel great pride and gratitude at the terms in which it had pleased their Chief Officer to speak of him. As far as honesty of wish and honesty of endeavour to discharge his duties went, he hoped he had some pretension to what had been said of him.—(Applause.) Beyond that he dare not take ; but they might permit him to say, that there could not be a greater stimulus to a public man, than the recognition of his services by such a numerous and respectable assembly as that.—(Applause.) The following toasts were then proposed from the Chair The Judges"—" The Attorney-General and the Bar"—" Sir James Scarlett"—" The Members for the City of London"—" Lord Palmerston and Peace"—" The Al dermen who have passed the Chair"—and " The Sheriffs." A little before ten the Lord Mayor, and the majority of those present, retired. Dancing was kept up for some time, and nothing occurred to throw a c l ou d on what ap peared to have ben to many thousands a very happy and joyous day. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TA TTERSALL' S. DEI O .IIY. Although nothing was done there was so much anxiety ma nifested in two or three quarters to "get on" about the Pucelle colt that no one would offer more than 12 to 1 against him, and this price did not " suit the books." Coriolanus at 13 to 1 had no backers, Curtius being at present the " lion" of Scott's stable. We have quoted Silenus at 14 to 1, more from guess than from any thing that was said, as not a sixpence was laid cut upon either of the three favourites. Ascot, Curtius, and Ibrahim were backed at last week's prices, and Darioletta at two points less, with rather a strong party. A few small sums were laid out upon Aurelius, Varennes, Knobstick, and Leo poldine.

DESTRUCTIVE HURRICANE IN THE WEST INDIES. (From the Dominica Observer, Sept. 24.) We return our humble acknowledgments to Almighty God for his inestimable goodness, in having this day allowed us to resume our labours, to record a partial statement of the baleful effects of the storm of Saturday night ; we say partial, for to pourtray to the distant reader a correct pic ture of the dismal scene which Dominica presents, is a task which bids defiance to the ability of our pen, and paralyses the power of description. We scarcely turn our eye to any part of the town, but the mass of ruins that covers each street bespeaks the appalling misery of Dominica, which has never been equalled since the fatal hurricane of 1813. The unsettled state of the atmosphere for some days pre ceding Saturday, and which greatly increased on the even ing of that day, led us to anticipate rather unpleasant wea ther, to which we are not unaccustomed at this season of the year, but it was impossible for human foresight to di vine the impending danger which so immediatelythreatened us, or to predict the distressing tale of woe which we are now called upon to tell. From about six o'clock in the evening the rain commenced to pour down in heavy showers, accompanied at intervals with smart gusts of wind, shifting occasionally from the North to the South, until near eleven, when the rain gradually subsided, but the wind continued to increase to an alarming degree, and must have done some damage during this time. At about midnight, a dead calm ensued, and the weather appeared to be so far abated as to encourage sanguine expectations that we were once more safe ; but alas ! it was but a visionary dream ! the too often excited anger of the Most High—the invoked displeasure of the most indulgent of Fathers could not be thus easily appeased! The storm had ceased only to receive fresh vigour ; in about a quarter of an hour after the wind raged in every direction, and ere the clock had struck the hour of one the work of devastation was com pleted ! The lofty cocoa-nut and other trees, the strongest of which the country could boast, unable any longer to bend under the huge force of the mighty winds, " tossed to and E.() like the withe,' snapped in two, or sprung from the earth with terrific noise—the smaller houses in the town, no longer capable to withstand the raging blast were soon measured on the ground, every building on the garrison has either been crushed to ruins, cr has suffered considerably. The spacious hospital, lately built on an improved plan, has been partly unroofed, and the Barrack-master's and Adju tant's offices have been entirely destroyed, and it was with great difficulty that the troops escaped without loss of life. The other side of the Government House was blown down, and the other parts of the building partially damaged—the office of the Auxiliary Commissioners of Compensation ad joining those premises has been materially injured, and a great many of their original documents destroyed. The new Corninissariat building—the Custom-house—the Court house—Market-house—the gaol and the Protestant church, and almost every other building in town, have suffered con siderable injury from the effects of the hurricane. The mer cantile houses of Messrs. Thomas Laing and Co., Messrs. James Garraway and Co., and T. W. Doyle, Esq., on ac count of their proximity to the sea, have also experienced most heavy losses. We devote but a short space to the mention of the dead. The next point to which we turn our mind is the distressing situation of our now entirely ruined planters. As far asthe miseries of the town are confined, the eye might find some object of diversity to attract its gaze for a while ; but so soon as we leave the limits of Roseau, one expansive field of waste opens to the view. The beautiful foliage which but a week past so gracefully bedecked our mountain tops, is now no more to be seen fanning with its gentle leaves the passing stranger, but in its stead, the withered shrubs are left as the emblem of despair. Although we have not yet received the whole of our accounts from the distant parts of the country, yet such as we have received are most ap palling ; and as far as they reach we can vouch for their an-. thenticity, for we have spared neither means nor pains to ascertain their correctness from the proprietors and others in charge of these properties—if we can now call them so. The following account of the damage sustained on the estates mentioned, has been kindly banded to us. At Prince Rupert's, the garrison has suffered severely. At Grand Ance the greater part of the houses are levelled to the ground, and there is good reason to believe that se veral lives have been lost. At Sugar Loaf estate the great house (one of the most substantial buildings in the colony) is flat to the ground ; nearly all the negro houses and buildings the same ; the river has done serious injury, and the negro grounds all destroyed, and, worst of all, four lives lost. At Layan Valley, there is one scene of desola tion throughout. Hillsborough House is totally demo lished, with the works and nearly the whole of the negros' houses ; five people killed, and some others seriously in jured ; the sick are all carried to the chapel at Layou. Clarke Hall, and York Valley, have been seriously da maged. WALL. HOUSE.—Negro house and grounds nearly all destroyed and washed away. The buildings on the Union, Aberdeen, Champigny, and Charmont estates, are nearly all destroyed. GENEVA. —We believe only five, out of nearly 360 negro Douses, are standing ; the works and other'buildings are en tirely ruined. At Souffriere there is scarcely one building left in a sound state. At Belvidera nearly all the stock killed and the buildings destroyed. BEDMINSTER.—Works completely unroofed. Still House partly down. Great House and Sick House down to the ground, and only six negro houses standing, which require thatching. P RO VIDENCE.—The silk-house and overseer's house, horse-stable, and ofithouses, completely unroofed, farine house down, and only five negro houses left standing. Ma gas house unroofed, and some of the pillars thrown down, the canal spouting down, mill house roof shifted, boiling house roof partly untiled, curing house roof fallen in, and the whole of the. canes level with the ground. EMSALL.—The building all blown nown. St. Aromant, n ot a house standing. GOODWILL.—Part of the negro houses blown down, and ' the cane pieces washed away. RESOURCE. —All the buildings, except the great house, demolished. E DE N. —Some of the stock killed, and some of the build ings severely damaged. CIIECK HALL.--Buildings blown down, and nearly the whole of the canes washed away. Fortnaws.—Buildings injured, and a great quantity of the canes washed away. I%IACOUCHERIE.—The boiling-house roof stripped from the rafters, and the front wall much shaken, the curing house roof blown down entirely with all the passage parti tions, the still-loft roof partially stripped--the other build ings seriously damaged. ROSALIE.—AII the buildings destroyed, and the canes completely ruined. T ADEDD y.—Buildings and sugar works much injured. CASTLE BRUCE.—The dwelling-house has suffered mate rially ; almost every thing in it blown away. The roof and sides are standing ; the two out-rooms have not suffered much, but all the other buildings on the hill are completely down to the ground. All the negro houses, except three, are completely down. The chapel down ; overseer's house and kitchen completely destroyed. Hospital slightly in jured ; curing-house and still-house down—walls and all nearly to the ground, in some parts. Boiling-house partly unroofed ; mill-house slightly injured ; both magass-houses down ; stable and the whale range of buildings down— walls and all quite to the ground, in some parts ; all the pens down. The LONDONDERRY and MELVILLE HALL ESTATES are, with a few exceptions, completely ruined. The following vessels, which were lying in the harbour at the time of the gale, have been unfortunately lost : Sloop Antelope ; crew saved, except Captain Pitman. Sloop Dolphin ; the Captain and one sailor lost. Sloop Catherine, of Barbados ; the Captain, Mr. Law less, and three boys, saved. Captain Lethridge, and five of the crew, lost. Sloop President Musson, of St. Lucia ; Captain and crew saved. An American schooner laden with lumber was driven on shore at Sand Bay, without any person on board ; it is sup posed that all hands must have perished before she reached the shore. To detail more minutely the effects of the hurricane is almost too tedious to go through ; but, from the above statement, the reader may conceive an idea of the situation to which this island is reduced. Every hope is now cen tered in the Legislature, who, we are confident, will not fail to exert every endeavour to afford us what relief they can ; as some of the measures necessary to attain that end, we should wish that the Executive could concur in the propriety of declaring the port free, and, if possible, that the Customhouse duties should be lessened for the present, not losing sight at the same time of that burdensome im post—the tonnage duty. The following proclamation has been issued by the Go vet nor of the colony, in consequence of this awful calamity : " PROCLAMATION. " Whereas it hath pleased Almighty God to visit this island with a most awful and disastrous hurricane, whereby the houses and buildings, plantations and estates, the provision grounds, and almost every species of property of all classes of his Majesty's subjects, have, in many cases, been totally de stroyed, and in all materially and ruinously injured ; and in order to avert, as much as possible, the evils of famine and de spair, and to enable the inhabitants to erect anew and repair their houses, buildings, and works, I do hereby, by virtue of the power in me vested, and by and with the advice of his Majesty's Council, permit and authorise the importation into this island, in the vessels of all nations, duty and tonnage free, of the following articles, the growth, produce, or manufacture of any f ore i gn country whatever—that is to say, flour, shingles of all descriptions, staves of all descriptions, pitch, white and yellow pine lumber, lumber of all other descriptions, wood hoops, beg, pork, and all species of salted, dried, and pickled fish ; such importation to be permitted for the period of six months from the date hereof.—By his Excellency's command, (Signed) " HOWARD LLOYD, " Lieut.-Governor's Secretary. " Duly proclaimed in the town of Roseau, this 27th day of September, 1834. " HENRY NISBET, Pro, Mar. Gem" (From the Barbadoes Mercury of Sept. SO.) A meeting of the inhabitants, agreeably to public notice, was this day held at the Town-hall, at half-past eleven o'clock. The Hon. It. Hamden in the Chair , when, after, some prefatory remarks by G. N. Taylor, Esq., one of the Representatives for this parish, seconded by E. - B. Holy, Esq., and cordially assented to by our other Representa tive, R. B. Clarke, Esq., several resolutions were proposed and adopted, expressive of the deep and sincere regret fe:t for the truly distressing state of the suffering people of Dominica, and also that subscriptions be opened for their rcli.l—at the head of which we are proud to find a liberal and munificent donation from our much-esteemed and highly-respected Governor, Sir Lionel Smith, of 1561. ss. currency, and other subscriptions, we are happy to say, were going on upon the most benevolent scale. Our country.. men, and the community in general, we are all well aware, stand not in need of example in the race of praiseworthy acts ; but we are certain that our worthy Governor will, if possible, lend an additional stimulus to all. To the above subscription, we have also to add the handsome sum of 7501. currency, voted by the House of Assembly and the Hon. Board of Council, highly to the credit of both branches of the Legislature. GERMAN PAPERS. NAI'OLI, SEFT. 22.—Not to lose the thread of the events that have taken place since the changes in the Re gency, I recapitulate in a few words what you have already received more in detail. The change itself surprised and confounded some, while it rejoiced others, but displeased many Greeks, jealous of their independence, as a foreign interference in the course of a Government which has been considered independent. After the first shock of this poll tical earthquake was over, and the edifice remained stand iug, every one endeavoured to collect himself as well as circumstances would allow. The first step was to put an end to the miserable affair of Maina by an amnesty, and withdrawing the troops ; the towers (that is to say, the dwelling-houses which had been taken for forts) remained, viz., 182 out of 200 ; the Mainotes retained their arms, their exemption from tithes, and 1,000 of them entered the service of the Government, and were very useful in Arca dia. Then the Rumeliot troops and Bulgarian cavalry, under their old chiefs, were called into action ; and there was a rising against them in Arcadia, which was not without re verses at the commencement, and more bloodshed than the journals state. It is said that 6000 of the old Palicari are again under arms ; they seemed to come out of the ground like locusts. The next thing was the resolution to raise more recruits in Bavaria, in order to obtain a counter poise to the national or irregular troops by increasing the regulars. Accordingly, at the very commencement of the new Regency, 600,000 drachms were assigned to Baron Von Eichthal at Munich for the new levies. Infantry, es pecially workmen (ouvriers) Artillery and Cavalry, with horses and equipments, and 50 waggons, were required. May the selection be more fortunate than in the first de tachments that were sent. We do not exactly see what we are to do with the waggons without roads, with the German horses without fodder for them ; but we shall see. We also wish that no more officers may come, for their number, especially that of the young and rapidly promoted, is legion. In the internal organization there was a new law on co lonization, which was sent to the Ministry in the second week, with a declaration that it should be promulgated in twenty-four hours, or at least that any observation that might be thought necessary should be presented. Koletti answered that he would not even read it in twenty-four hours, much less consider and judge of it; however, we could see at the first glance that it was, in principle, con trary to his conviction, that provision must be made for the Greeks before strangers were thought of. He therefore believed it best to let the matter drop till he was ready with his plan for colonization. This has been done, and we hear no more of the foreign colonization and civil con scription. On the whole, I advise that there should be no precipitation in the immigration of strangers. For the dislike, nay—the hatred of foreigners in creases as respect for them decreases, and the Greeks in fact wish to have none in Greece except the King and a few who are more Greeks than Germans ; and their opinion has now much weight, for it must not be dissembled that by the wretched affair of Maine, the foreign powers or the fo reign elenzent of the new power is broken and the native or national power prevails. This is important, and the conse quences will soon be seen. In other respects things remain pretty much as they were. The municipal law does not advance, that is to say, the execution of its complicated ma chinery and authorities, balancing and controlling each other, and if it is not soon given up, it will change Greece into a vast nest of intrigues, dissentions, and passions. The Schools, the Chambers, the Marine, the Tribunals, do not advance a step, and the country, almost two years after the arrival of the Regency is still without civil tribu nals or the administration of civil justice. What are the consequences? A total want of credit, of security for pro-' perty, the depression of agriculture and commerce, and the public revenue of the first year, declined to six and a • half millions, instead of having increased, as was boasted, to ten or twelve millions, and this with an expenditure of 13 millions! In the finances an ordinance was published, designed to relieve the " beloved subjects" from the dread- ful extortions which the farmers and receivers of tithes, appointed by Mavrocordato subjected them. A new law on the duties of customs is to be expected. M. Zurier lein, a young man from Munich, is appointed to draw it up, and to take as the basis the Prussian and Bavarian tariff. But. thu :most important point of all is the removal of the seat of Government to Athens. •It is to take place on the Ist of January. It is said that Messrs. Von Kohell and Von Kleuze, chiefly contributed to this decision. That Athens must be the capital of Greece was a geogra phical and political necessity ; but now ? Will it be already time on the Ist of January to leave the Peloponnesus, in which is the principal population, the main strength, and the real difficulties of the situation of Greece, where parties are more busy than ever, passions powerful, and dissentions increasing, to settle in Athens, which is distant from the real strength of the country, and peopled by Phanariots, Chiots, and speculators of all nations and shades ? Added to this we leave a maritime town and a good fortress, to settle in an inland and unfortified town, and while things are in this unsettled state,—and why ? I fear there is much that is amiss in this precipitation and architectural considerations,—the Propylma, the Parthenon, have had more influence than they ought. May the spirits of the great Athenians, who as M. Von Kleuze says repose under the ruins, and come forth extending their arms to protect the venerable remains, also protect the inhabitants, who, with a generous confidence, settle among them. I should have thought it better to remain for the present within the walls of Napoli, protected by the guns of its Cyclopedian fortress, and by the fleets of the maritime powers on the road, in, the heart and central point of our powers prepared to meet all events, than to think already of an aesthelic, archeological, architeclonical Promenade to the Parthenon, the Lyceum, and the Academy of Departed Spirits. It is always time enough to go to a feast. VIENNA, OCT. 30.-5 per Cent., 99k ; 4 per Cent., 92; Bank Shares, I,264.—Allgemeine Zeitung. DUTCH FUNDS—AMSTERDAM, Nov. 7. Actual Debt, 254 per Cent.

THE FAMILY OF THE EARL OF DERBY.—Let ters were received at the family mansion in Grosvenor-square oa Saturday from Knowsley, announcing that the present Earl had been appointed by his Majesty to succeed his late noble father in the Lord-Lieutenancy of Lancashire, of which county his Lordship has been long Vice-Admiral. The Noble Earl continues in the deepest affliction for the loss of his venerable parent, and is said to have entirely secluded himself from so ciety. Lord Molyneux and the two Hon. Captains Stanley, have returned to town from attending the funeral at Orms kirk. Lord and Lady Stanley were still at Knowsley. The Marquis of Westminster and Lord Skelmersdalc had left for their respective seats. A second edition of Mr. Morier's new Turkish romance " Ayesha," will be published in a few days. The talent discovered by this popular writer in this work has added still more to the well-earned reputation he had previously ac quired by his " Adventures of Hajji Baba," and " Zohrab." That an enquiring voyageur like Mr. Morier should be able to present to us such admirable pictures of Turkish life, manners, and customs, is not surprising, considering the experience and knowledge he must have accumulated durin g his travels and long resid ence i n t h e O ttoman em pi re . " Ayeska," indeed, is not only a charming romance, but also a work of great informa tion and instruction as regards the East. DISASTERS OF THE MANX COAST. The Queen of the Isles, which arrived yesterday morning from Couglas, has brought accounts of the loss of several vessels on the coast of the Isle of Alan during the late gales. The following is an extract from the agent's letter :—" Accounts received from Ramsey last night report that a foreign ship, laden with salt, and two sioops, aro on shore. The sloop .E,nulous, Springer, from Whitehaven to Ramsey, is lost, with all hands. Seven of the nands of the foreigner are also lost. I have just heard that a large American ship, outward bound, from Liverpool, was lost last night on Scarlet Rocks, near Castletown, crew saved : could not learn her name."— Liverpool Albion. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALn. The last Lord Mayor gave a Conservative com plexion to the entertainment at his entering on office ; and the present Lord Mayor would seem to wish to improve on his predecessor ; for a toast, which has not been given for many years, we believe, at public dinners in the city, was given yesterday—" Church and King." His Lordship, probably, thinks with Dr. Southey, that " a Dissenter is but half an English man." The Dissenters, however, in the City Parlia ment will not thank his Lordship for placing them in the dilemma of being obliged to appear deficient in their loyalty, or to pledge themselves to an in stitution to which they . cannot consistently be at tached. However, it is for the . citizens them selves to show how they feel on this subject. It has always been usual for some of his Ma jesty's Ministers to honour the civic entertain ment with their presence ; and on this occa sion Lord Melbourne, the Lord Chancellor, and Palmerston, &c., were present. The Lord Chancel lor's rank gives him precedence ; and his health was, of course, first given. We suppose our contemporary (The Times) will be astonished, after the numerous thunderbolts lately discharged at his Lordship from Printing-house-square, that he should dare to piesent himself at a public entertainment ; and still more astonished to find that, on the announcement of his health, the applause was loud, continued,. and very general. This ought to teach our contemporary that the task of writing down a statesman, who remains true to himself and his principles, is not so easy as in :ts overweening conceit it may have conceived. The public, to judge from the reception given yesterday to his Lordship, do not seem to have lost any portion of their regard for him ; and when he emphatically declared, " And, believe me, that those principles which first re commended me to your notice, and which ultimately gained me your confidence, are the same which now regulate my conduct." This was received with loud applause. He added, " What I formerly advocated I now in no wise depart from ; believe me, I say, the principles which were holden by me when out of power have been holden by me since I have been in power, and that they will be ever acted on by me now that I am a member of his Majesty's Councils." The de claration was received with " great applause." It could not have been otherwise. Were an assembly of Englishmen ter turn suddenly round on a popular statesman, because a newspaper, from private motives, suddenly chose, from being his abject panegyrist, nay, flatterer, to become his daily assailant, what reliance could any public man have on the tenure by which opular favour is held ? The Chancellor has too well-grounded a confidence in the good disposi tions of the people to doubt for a moment the justice of their award, should he act up to the principles he professed before he took office. By endeavouring to improve our laws and institutions to the utmost, and never remaining satisfied while any thing in the way of remedy of abuse remains to be effected, he may safely trust himself to the justice of his countrymen. To continue to do good is the best answer to calumny. The Duke of Richmond having been associated with the House of Peers, his Grace, in acknowledging the toast, said, he had " al ways looked upon the existence of the House of Lords in the light of an independent branch of our national institutions, and as necessary for the upholding the just privileges and prerogatives of the Crown, and for the support and prote c ti on o f th e liberties of the people. His Grace is naturally enough an admirer of the independence of the Lords ; but independent Lords can only exist with dependent Commons, and he ought not, therefore, to have made the Commons independent by means of the Reform Bill. However, in such a case wishes must go for nothing. It will soon be ascertained whether we can have an independent House of Lords and an independent House of Coin mons at the same time.—Morning Chronicle. The Marquis of .Downshire has been convicted by the O'Connellite Press, of seditious opposition, if not high treason, to the supreme authority of Daniel the Dictator, by attending the Protestant meeting at Hills borough, to defend the Protestant Church and British connection against-the avowed enemy of both. Judg ment of official extermination has passed upon him, and the Anglo-Irish Government is called upon to execute the sentence awarded by Dan's Star-Chamber tribunal. Does Lord Melbourne hesitate to give the necessary instructions to the Irish Viceroy ? Does he ask the law-officers to furnish him with a precedent ? He need not. It is supplied to him by a repeal-patriot habited in the robes of a King's Counsel. Can he hesitate any longer ? In the volume of the book it is written, which Mr. Shell opens for the edification of the Whig Cabinet, that the late Earl Fitzwilliam was dismissed from the Lerd-Lieutenancy for attending a meeting of re formers in Yorkshire, to demand inquiry into the dis graceful and revolting circumseance of the Manchester massacre. It is true that dismissal, as the Courier observes, was the work of Lords Castlereagh and Sid mouth, and was vehemently protested against by all the Whig leaders as a violent and vindictive exercise of the regal prerogative. No matter. Mr. Sheil gives the Whig Ministers credit for being fonder of Tory precedents than Constitutional principles. In the same volume, and about the same time, .he may find precedents for the employment of spies, who, for the price of blood, hunted their victims into toils which they had spread for their feet. Mr. Shell's volume of precedents must, therefore, be of inesti mable value as a political vade MUM, and source of instruction to a liberty-loving and purity-of-pr;nciple Administration. If we supposed Mr. Sheil to be that sort of humorist familiarly called " a wag," instead of a melodramatic orator of the most sententious gravity, we should be inclined to believe that his letter to the Marquis of Wellesley was a sarcastic hit at the political incon sistencies of the Whigs, and an experiment to try how far the names of Castlereagh and Sidmouth, so ab horred by them when out of office, can exercise a charmed influence over their apostate tendencies in power. But the buskined orator of repeal agitation is no humorist. His advice is serious and solemn : an active, though minor juggler in the drama of repeal patriotism, he starts upon the stage at the stroke of the great necromancer's wand. "Do the disciples of Fox and the compatriots of Grey want a precedent," he asks, " for the dismissal of the Marquis of Down shire from his honorary office—let Castlereagh be their instructor, and Sidmouth their guide,' they will find the dismissal of Earl Fitzwilliarn to be a case in point." We admit that it is . pretty nearly so. Like that Nobleman, the Marquis of Downshire was the constant advocate and supporter of the " Roman Catholic claims ;" like him, too -we borrow the words of Lord Grey—" A man who had been distinguished by his constant support of the Crown, on every trying difficulty--a man of high rank, extensive influence, and princely possessions— beloved and esteemed"—a landlord of the most kind and liberal disposition—a patriot, whose crime is the avowal in a season of danger of his sincere attachment to the principles which placed the House of Bruns-. wick on the throne. But a Noble victim is required to appease the wrath of the offended Daniel, at the very moment when the outstretched toe of the said Daniel spurns the Whig Ministers, Viceroy, Secre tary, and all, for having the meanness to solicit his patronage of their Government in Ireland, by the go 'twcen agency of Mr. Littleton, whom, having dan dled for his amusement, as the mischievous monkey dandled Gulliver, now lets him down with the com plimentary declaration that he is " a driveller, with too much cunning to possess any intellect, and too variable to have any political principle. The same Daniel, whose propensity to make Guys of his Whig friends grew very strong upon him as the " rent day ' and the fifth of November approached, has re cently repeated his qrotesque descript ion o f L or d Brougham, " sticking, to use his own elegant phrase, " a fool's cap over his Chancellor's wig." He has stripped Lord Duncannon of the piece of the Libera tor's mantle which lie had thrown over his official dress, and placed upon his breast a broad label of " Character—gone for ever." He has pictured, for the amusement of the repealers and rent-payers, the "do tage of Wellesley dozing in Viceregal dignity;"—and for all this, and various other merits equally prominent, he is to be soothed, propitiated, caressed, and, while he roars the angry lion with all his might, instead oldetect j ing his true n a t ure by some un li on lik e c h arac teristics that I peep from beneath his Nemean skin, it is thought neces .
