' ° eig ° pr _ eats b, by the countrymen. Desperate efforts, we know, are making by the Boroughmongers, to return a de tested Anti-Reformer for Cambridgeshire. Mo ney is flying about iii all directions ; a fresh tap of lies is broached ; promises, never meant to be kept, are put forth by the hundred ; every en gine of corruption is set in motion ; in short, the I3oroughmongers are resolved to make a stand in Cambridgeshire. Be it so ;it is their last ditch, and the sooner they die in it the bet ter. They have our most anxious, our most disinterested prayers for a speedy death and no resurrection. Freeholders of Cambridgeshire, it is your bounden, your sacred duty to resist to the utmost, the machinations of these men. You are bound to do so, as men, as citizens, as fathers, as hus bands, as patriots, nay, even as Christians. Would you brand your posterity with the stamp of infamy—of servitude ?—then support the Boroughmongers. Would you bind your country to the chariot wheels of despotism ?—then sup port the Boroughmongers. Would you be slaves yourselves, tax-ridden, priest-ridden, allowed to breathe only at the pleasure of your task-mas ters ?—then support the Boroughmongers. But you cannot—you will not —you dare not do so. Your free British spirit will rise in judgment against you. Your instinctive, unerring sense of what is right, of what is due to yourselves, your families, your country, will forbid the unholy alliance. Remember, the Duke of CUMBER LAND is at the head of the Boroughmongers ! Is not this quite enough to decide you ? But if you really desire—and who can doubt the fact ? —to be of service to your fellow-citizens, you must be quick, instant in your operations. The urgency of the season admits of no delay. lime presses ; you must decide and act at one and the same moment. Be just, then, to yourselves, and generous to your countrymen. Form your selves into clubs, committees, and associations ; grudge no expenec, hesitate at no labour, shrink from no difficulty, that may enable you to secure your triumph. Resolve to be victorious, and you will be so. The French Peerage Bill is now in the hands of the Chamber of Peers. The jurisdiction of that body, however, may be considered as more nominal than real in a question to which they are in fact, rather parties than judges. It is said in some quarters that the French Peers will follow the absurd example that has been set them in England, but the better opinion seems to be, they will not dare to risk the instant re sentment of the Chamber of Deputies and the nation, by rejecting the measure which comes to them rather honoris mail, than in respect of any real influence they possess either in the Legislature, or over public feeling. The alteration in the French corn laws may be considered a great step in their commercial. policy, when we reflect on the remarkable in sensibility to the arguments for a liberal system, that has hitherto characterized their commercial legislation. The abolition of total prohibition upon importation—the subjection of exported corn to a variation of duty—the substitution of two great divisions of the kingdom for a multi tude of small ones, for the ascertainment of prices ; the replacement of a duty by mea , ure, by a duty by weight ; are all changes of a highly beneficial tendency, which we should not have been sorry to see carried much farther, by the establishment of an entire freedom in the corn trade, subject to such fixed duties as, for the purposes of revenue only, might have been deemed necessary to be continued. It has been long a matter of complaint in the pro vinces, that duties upon rates determined for times of plenty should so long have been continued, though it has been for some years notorious, that the dearth of the crops has been gradually increasing. The complaint against the corn duties has probably, however, been exceeded by that against the duty on the importation of cattle, which under pretence of an encourage ment to agriculture, had been gradually en creased from 12 to 55 francs, in spite of the warmest remonstrances to the contrary, that were made to the Government from Alsace, and other provinces the most interested. A late petition from Strasbourg placed the hard ship and impolicy of this cattle duty in a very strong point of view. A vote of eighteen millions of francs has lately been granted, for the relief of the poor, by giving them employment upon public works. Such a grant may, perhaps, tranquillize, for the present, some districts ; but it cannot be sup posed that it can afford any permanent relief' to the lower orders. It was well remarked by M. OD tLf,oN BArtRoT, that mere giving on these occasions is a very imperfect relief; and it must be confessed that the plan bears a very near ap proach to the principle of our poor laws, which profess to give permanent relief when it is out of their power to bestow more than ephemeral alms. As the French Government have the management of the public roads, there was, so far, a good opportunity of giving subsistence to the unemployed poor, but, as a general measure, it is 1101 N well understood, that the employment of the poor upon public works is a very fallacious scheme as a remedy against pauperism, and so the majority of persons who have paid attention to the state of Ireland have already convinced themselves. Upon the whole, the alleged ne cessity of this grant does not augur well for the condition of the lower orders in France, who, by all accounts, have of late suffered grievously from the stagnation of trade, and the genera l want of employment, of which the Revolution and its subsequent scenes have , unhappily, been the unavoidable causes. Brussels Papers of the 22d inst. have been received. It will be seen that LEOPOLD is dis posed to accede to the treaty proposed by the Conference, and has accordingly submitted the matter to the Chamber for their sanction.' The question is now to be debated by them : BRUSSELS, OCT. 22.—There Was a Council of Mini sters yesterday afternoon. The King, by a decree of the 21st, appointed M. Syl vainVan de Weyer, Commissioner to present to the Cham bers, together with the members of the Council of Mini- skers, the project of law relative to the 24 Atticles imposed by the Conference at London. We learn that by a decree, which received the Royal signature yesterday, a new distribution of the army is to take place : it will consist of two divisions, a reserve division, and the division of East and West Flanders. General Gerard dined with the King yesterday, and lilt Brussels last night. The French Princes left yesterday afternoon. The Independent says, " We know at length the final and irrevocable decision of the Conference, to which we ►oust ►submit, on pain, as we hear, of having our ports blockaded, our territory invaded by a Prussian army, and our treasury subjected to a contribution of SO millions of florins to pay the expence of the occupitlm." Yesterday morning the first part of the Civic Guard of Mous and Tournay, which was to go to Namur, received orde►s to proceed immediately to Antwerp. CHAMBER OF REPRESENTATIVES. SITTING OF THE 2IST. After tl e journal of the proceedings of yesterday had been read and approved, and come other business tran sacted, M. Rogier asked if any communication from the Government would be made ? to which the President re plied, it was expected to-mortow. Son after which the Chamber broke up; but the Members had hardly risen, when the Minister for Foreign Affairs sent word that he had a communication to make from the King.— The President sent to call back the Members, who re. mained in the portico, in consequence of the rain, and the Sitting was resumed, and it was resolved to have an even ing sitting at eight o'clock. EVENING SITTING. M. Mu lenaere, Minister for Foreign Affairs, ascended the tribune, and said, " Gentlemen, after having laid before you, in your sitting yesterday, the course followed by the Government in the late negociations—after having shown you its persevering efforts, followed by a result so unexpected, and so contrary to its wishes, there remains fin• me now, as well as for my colleagues, who are, like myself, Counsellors of the Crown, a melancholy and pain fill duty to perform. The fulfilment of this duty we cannot avoid, placed, as we are, under the law of a necessity which cannot be mistaken, and with which it is impossible to contend, except by subjecting to incalculable chances the present and future welfare of the country, and perhaps by sacrificing the two con quests of our revolution, independence, and liberty. The treaty of peace determined on by the Conference stipu lates, in articles two and four,cessiona of territory in favour of Holland. The Government could not authorise its Plenipotentiary to sign this treaty ; the 68th article of the Constitution, which says, " No cession, no change, no act dition of territory can take place but by virtue of a law," formally opposed this, and at the same time pointed out to the Government the course it had to follow. It is to remain faithful to the principles of the Constitution, to fulfil an obligation which it imposes on us, that we come, Gentlemen, by the King's orders to submit to your consideration a project of law authorising the Government to, consent to the cessions of territory stipulated in the tteaty of peace, and to conclude financial arrangements. Amid the painful sentiments which affect it, the Govern ment will not le tee you in ignorance of the motives which have determined it to take on itself the respon sibility of the initiative which it now uses. The nation, whose destinies are now to be de finitively fixed, and you gentlemen who represent it in this place, shall be acquainted with all our thoughts. If even the courage to speak with frankness was neces sary, it is now, in reference to the weighty interests on which you will have to decide. To he silent or to dis semble at such a moment would be, I will not say weak ness in a Ministry, but baseness, Yes, gentlemen, tee question which the project of law raises is so mighty, that the whole future fate of the country is involved in its so lution. " If at another time proposals like the conditions now imposed on us had been made to Belgium, the Govern ment might have shrunk from the task which it now per forms; it would, perhaps, have said to you, " Reject these conditions, they are unjust and partial, depend on the goodness of your cause, on time, if need be on your arms, to obtain them." But, gentlemen, this language. which would then have appeared reasonable, because circum stances and facts gave it a force which it would not have derived from itself, is now no longer possible. Since then time has advanced, and Europe has witnessed events which by modifying the general policy could not but influence the question raised by our revolution. The support which we found in the idea of our strength, inspired into the Powers by our success in September, the perhaps more real support which the heroic resistance of the Poles gave to our cause, has wholly abandoned us. Poland, that interesting country, which never had its equal in glory and misfortune after prodigies of courage, has fallen. Can it be necessary to tell you the influence that its fail must have had on the policy and resolutions of a Power all whose motions were embarrassed by the revolution. But, besides these considerations there is another which cannot and must not escape you ; it is that the question which has been in dispute for this year past is not limited merely to our interests and those of Holland, but that it affects in many points the interests of Europe. Our patriotism, our national pride, wounded by the sentence of the arbitrators, who have just de cided between Holland and us, may revolt at this intervention of Europe. It is, nevertheless, a fact which we cannot do away with. This fact besides is not new, it has its sanction, it has precedents in history. Other people before us have had to submit to the conse quences of it. It is not the first time that whether with or without reason, political expediency, the system of the balance of Europe, have subjected a people for the general good, to those sacrifices which are submitted to, only from a conviction of the inutility of the efforts that might be made to escape them. The sacrifice which is required of Belgium is of the same nature, its whole excuse, its entire justification, for you who are called on to sanction it by your vote, is in the necessity, in the circumstances, whose influence in human affairs is sometimes so powerful that the Statesman cannot avoid it. The Five Powers agree together to support the decision which they have made, and which they think calculated to guarantee at the same time the maintenance of peace and the European system. This may be an error arising from the feeling of distrust unduly excited in them by regenerated Belgium. We be lieve it to be so, and you will bear us witness, Gentle men, that we have neglected nothing to dispel an error so fatal to our interests. Our efforts have not had the ex pected success, and the determinations of the Five Great Powers have interposed between our wishes and the hope of seeing them realised. The Powers (it w ould be idl e to attempt to dissemble it) act in toncert, and the decisions of the Conference, as the Note accompanying the Treaty declares, are final and irrevocable. These words derive especial force from the circumstances and time necessities of the moment. The uncertainty which for this year past has involved the affairs of Europe, in consequence of the protracted suspense of the Belgian question, cannot be prolonged without leading to the crisis which it is so greatly desired to prevent, and which every day's delay renders imminent. It is now for you, Gentlemen, to decide whether what is demanded of us, whether the cessions of territory, which are the price at which peace is to be offered to us, can be reconciled, I will not say with the in terest of the country (it is partially and violently injured,)—l will not say with its affections (no regard has been paid to them), but with its existence as an indepen dent nation,—for, gentlemen, how-ever melancholy it may be, we have now told you the whole truth. The question is now before you : it is our opinion : it is to be deter mined whether we will or not, whether we can or not, form an independent nation with the territory as it will be circumscribed by the stipulations of the treaty. Gentlemen, we have not concealed from ourselves the objections that may be made against the project of law laid before you, we have especially foreseen the arguments which it will be easy to draw from the condition in which those of our countrymen, of our brethren, will be placed whom the treaty separates from us. Nobody appreciates better, or shares more warmly than we do, the regret and the grief excited in the soul by those forced separations which tear from our affections,from our sympathy,those who formed with us only one family, and who so powerfully aided in the conquest of a patrimony which they ate not to be allowed to enjoy with us. Far he from us the idea of weakening by our words a sacrifice, the extent of which we fully com prehended. But placed between our affections and the preponderating interest of the country, having to choose between time abandonment of some of its members and the annihilation of the whole family, our choice has not been free. We have been compelled to enter upon the course in which you see us, and we may all be allowed to say, that in acting thus, we have reckoned on your suf frages—on the generosity of even those of our brethren, to whose expatriation we are obliged, unfortunately for our selves, to subscribe. 'We said to ourselves, that though frustrated of the hopes of sharing with us a common country, they would not, however, from personal motives desire to draw on Belgium the misfortunes which would accru e to it from resistance to a decree which must be sub mitted to : that they would not wish to see the country which they quit entirely effaced with them, that there should be no more a Belgian—a Belgic nation. Can we lave deceived ourselves, Gentlemen, in ascribing such -entimeuts to our brethren ? No ; and we defy the future to refute.our words! If recognising the necessity which presses,us, you sanction the project of law which is proposed to you when the fatal day of separation comes, while they address a painful and sad adieu to this country, which necessity oblig , s us to abandon, they will form wishes tor its glory, its prosperity, and its happiness, and confi dently relying on its future destiny, they will appeal with us to time and Providence to reform an injustice which on our part, allow us, Gentlemen, to repeat it for the last time, we bitterly deplore. "Leopold, King of the Belgians, to all pros nt, and to come greeting : " By the advice of our Council of Ministers, we have charged our Minister of Foreign Affairs to present to the Chambers, in our name, the project of law, the tenor of which follows ;—Cimsidering that by their acts of the 15th of Oct., the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Great Powers assembl d in the Conference at London, have res. Iced on the basis of a separation between Belgium and Holland, that the tic ity, containing according to the decla ration of the plenipotentiaries, the final and irrevocable conditions as imposed on Belgium and Holland ; seeing article 68 of the Constitution, we have, with the common consent ofthe Chambers, decreed and ordained a s " ONLY ARTICLE.-The King is authorised to con clude and sign the definitive treaty of separation between Belgium and Holland, agreed to on the 15th of October, 1831, by the Plenipotentiaries of the F.ve Great Powers assembled in Conference at London, under such clauses, condition, and reserves, as his Majesty shall judge neees sary and useful to the interest of the country. (Signed) " LEOPOLD. " Brussels. Oct. 21, 1831. The Ministers of Foreign Affairs, War, Justice, and Finance, " D. MUELENAERE, " RAIKEIL " DE BROUCKERE, COGIIEN." After re tding this project of law, the deepest silence prevailed for some time in the Assembly. M. A. Rodenbach—lf the report just made to us by the Minister were favourable to the interests of Belgium, I should be of opinion that we should hasten to vote on the project of law accompanying it. But it is otherwise, and we must gain time. For this reason I propose that it should be printed, and referred to the nation, The President—The proposal being seconded, the pa pers will he printed, and examined in the sections. The Chamber adjourned till to-morrow at noon. P.S.—OcT. 22.—The printing of the papers leative to the treaty of peace not being completed, the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives has been adjourned inde finitely. RIO DE JANEIRO, AUG. 26.—The Diurio c.mtains a Decree of the Government against the numerous Portu guese enemies to. Brazil, who opposed, and even took arms against its independence, and were yet scandalously con sidered by the late Gov,rnment as Brazilian citizens; and also many others who have since arrived, and have been allowed all the rights of eitizms, merely because they have taken the oath to the Constitution : all civil, mill tary, and ecclesiastical authorities, in whose department there are Portuguese employed, are strictly to examine whether they are in fact Brazilian citizen, adopted or naturalized according to the Constitution. Another decree orders the dismissal of all foreigners em ?loyed in the public service, except foreign officers in the army and navy. SAILING OF THE FLEET FROM PORTS- MOUTH, OCT. 25. A King's messenger arrived here, this day, at ten o'clock and immediately waited upon Sir James Graham and the Board of Admiralty now here, and in enut one hour orders were given for the following ships :—Revenge, Talavera, Wellington, line of battle ships ; Galatea, Stay, Curacoa, Tweed, Imogene, frigates ; Recruit, Charybdis, gun brigs, and Viper, schooner,to proceed with all possible despatch to the Downs. The we ith?r has bern so very boisterous that it has not been possible for more than the four following, viz. :—Strrg, Galatea, Imoyene, an d Viper, to get away this day. To-morrow they will dep trt severally as soon as ready. The lVellesley will be off first. Sir E. Codrington struck his flag yesterday, and immediately left this place. Rear-Admiral Warren will hoist his flag in the Dosvns in the Revenge. Tar Tribune will be placed under his command. Captain Colby, of the Talavera, is at present Commodore. Nothing is known as to the cause of this sudden and un expected order ; but from the circumstance of two three deckers being left behind, it is naturally supposed the ships ordered away are intended to proceed to the Scheldt, as there is not water enough there for such large ships. PUBLIC SALES-(THIS DAY.) AT THE AUCTION 31 4RT. By MR. MILLS.-A valuable and desir,ble leasehold property, being No. I, Park-tert ace, Highbury-park (part of the estate of Mr. George Hadley Simkins, comprising the whole of Park-terrace, consisting of 25 substantial residences, the whole of which are to be brought to the hammer), comprising an excellent family residence, built in a very substantial manner, with shrubberies, conser vatories, offices, carriage-way, &c. The lease was granted in September last for a term of 93i years, at a ground rent of 11/. per annum, and was sold for 5501. By MESSRS. BROMLEY AND SON.—Two excellent brick-built messuages, being Nos. 2 and 3, Ebenezer street, Kennington-lane, which are let for 421. per annum, ground-rent and taxes amounting to Si. Is. 6d.—was knocked down for 1921. ELECTION OF LORD NIAYOII. (THIS DAY.) In consequence of the eceision of the Court of Alder men, whia again was adverse to the declared will of the Livery, as express,4l by a majority on two occasions, a Common Hall was held this day for the purpose of select ing two Aldermen to be returned to that Court, that they might choose one to serve the office. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor passed through the Hall, accompanied by the city officers, and wag most loudly cheered. A few mi nutes after the Lord Mayor came on the hustings, attended by rite usual city officers and Aldermen Waithman, Lucas, liarebrother, and Winchester. The Recorder came forward to open the Hall in the usual form. He was received with great hissing and hooting. The Lord Mayor and Aldermen then left the Hall. As Alderman Farebroth!r passed across the hustings, he was received with great disapprobation. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON cause forward and renewed his protest against the present election, and claimed for the Livery all the benefits of the first one. The CommoN SERJEANT felt it is duty to say that the Livery at present had only to obey the precept is sued by the Lord Mayor, their present duty %vas only a ministerial one, and in no way interfered with the 14w of the case as raised by Mr. Pearson. He then put up the names of those Aldermen who have not passed the Chair. Mr. STEVENS came forward to propose the Lord Mayor. No man regretted more than he did that the Livery were under the necessity of again attending to sup port their just rights. It was no fault of his or those who acted with him, that such an inconvenience had arisen, but the fault lay with in lividuals who arrogated to themselves the right of controuling the wishes of the whole of the Liverymen of London. In such a year as the one about to commence, it was the duty of the Livery to select a tried Reformer for the Civic Chair, and who was more fitted fur it than Sir John Key, who had, during his year, shewn himself a friend to all the rights of the Livery. The Livery could not now, (after what had taken place) re f use to go on, or t h e i r r i ghts would b e a nnihilated, would be swallowed up by these 13 or 14 Aldermen. Mr. PEAttsos spoke on the same subject, after a long speech he said, he would not second the nomination of the Lord Mayor, as it might prejudice after proceedings— be would only say they were determined to go on for months but they would succeed. Some gentleman on the hustings then seconded the ❑omination. A chew of hands was called for, when there appeared for Sir P. Laurie 3 ; Alderman Farebrother 30 ; and for the Lord Mayor and Alderman Kelly a forest of bands. A poll was demanded on behalf of Alderman Farebrother bylll.lr. Deputy Routh, Mr. Weston, and Alderman Atkins. The Hall :72, adjourned for an hour, when the polling was to commence, and continue to lour o'clock.

The whole is evi• dently a contemptible fabrication, for which the author deserves to be pilloried." Capt.

A Buenos Ayres mail has arrived, sailed the 13th of August ; also one from Mexico, sailed from Vera Crue Sept. 1, which brings dates from Rio of the Ist September. Posted at the North and South American Coffee-house. " FALAffiI;TH, OCT. 25.—1 beg to inform you that V e Sped packet arrived this morning from Mexico with a freight of 650,000 dollars on merchants' account, and no passengers." Buenos Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 14th August. (From the Paper of the 13th August.) We are without news from the interior, at least of any recent date, which is accounted for by the great scarcity of horses in the provinces ; the next arrivals will probably convey intelligence decisive of peace with the province-, upon which the Unitarian force had retreated, and tie intentions of its Chief. The House of Representatives of the province of Buenos Ayres held a sitting on the Bth inst. The chief busine,s which came before it was the reading of various notes from the Government, accompanied with the estimates of the ordinary service of the province. A motion was made that Government should appoint a Committee, consisting sif lawyers and merchants, to revive the Commercial code upon the basis of the most recent Spanish code. Exchange on England, 71 to 71. From Chili they state of the middle of June that the National Congress was installed on the Ist of June. The message of the Government thereto says that unanimity among all classes of citizens had succeeded to the horrors of civil war ; that the Legislature had found it necessary to invest the Government with extraordinary powers, which it had used with moderation, and that Chili was not only at peace within itself, but with all nations. France had acknowledged its independency. Hopes are expressed that the distinguished individual at the head of affairs in Great Britain would likewise ac. knowledge the independence of Chili. Our agent in Lon don had received instructions to treat with the holders of Chilian bonds relative to the payment of the dividends. Gold and silver is collecting at Coquimbo to provide a di vidend, and ord.ers have been given to make remittances as soon as possible. The private letters from Rio Janeiro are favourable-- all was quiet there. The exchange was 24i ; their stock 50 to 52. We hear that the Mexican packet hts brought eighty eight thousand dollars, on account of the dividends. Mexican Papers have been received to the 81st of Au gust, but they do not contain any news of importance. THE FUNDS. The whole of the numerous reports which were put into circulation yesterday have vanished this morning, with the exception of one, which gains ground, that a part of Sir E. Codtington's fleet is to proceed to the Scheldt. The Gland Duchess Helene has embarked in great haste for Holland, and it is stated she proceeds to the King of Hollan I with the above information. Mynhecr continues obstinate, and will not give a decisive answer, waiting first the decision of the Belgians ; but we have no doubt that this obstinacy will be of a short duration. Up to the present hour we have no further news either from Belgium or Holland, which is anxiously looked for. Both the Hamburg and Dutch stearneta are expected,—being obliged to perform quarantine causes a delay of one day in the information. Consuls still continue heavy. They left off yesterday a , 132 R, opened at 824, went down to 82k, and at present they are 524, with little doing. The speculators are wait• ing for the prices from Paris. HALF-PAST ONE. We have received by express the French Papers of Monday. The following Irons Brussels is most import (From the Constitutional.) BRUSSELS, OCT. 21.—The sitting of the Congress of the 21st (simnel at half-past eight o'clock in the evening, when the Minister of Foreign Affairs brought the following message frosts the King to the Chambers. " LEOPOLD, KING OF THE BELGIANS, " To all present greeting—With the advice of our Mi nister of Foreign Affairs, we present to the Chambers in our name the following project of law :—Considering that by an act dated Oct. 15th, the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Great Powers united in a conference at London, have come to an agreement upon the basis of the separation of Belgium and Hall and and that this Treaty, according to the declaration of the . , Plenipotentiaries is final and irrevocable, both as con cerns Belgium and Holland, referring to the 68th article of our Constitution, we have, with the consent of the Cham bers, agreed as follows.—(Article unique.) The King is authorised to conclude and sign the definitive treaty of se paration between Belgium and .Holland agreed upon on the 15th of October by the Plenipotentiaries of the Five Great Powers in London, under such clauses, conditions, and reserves which his Majesty might think requisite and necessary for the interest of the country." The Minister prefaced this proposition in a speech, and lamented the necessity of conforming to the award of the Five Powers, and protesting at the same time that there was no alternative left them. M. Rodenbach, the first speaker on the project, said this is the law of nature, the weakest falls to the ground ; if we were strong, I should say let us refuse, but we are weak, and I say let us try to gain time. Consols are at present 81 to 4, for the account ; for money the same. THREE O'CLOCK. Mr. IRVING.-SPECIMENS OF THE UN. KNOWN TONGUES. Mr. Irving'a church, in Regent 7 square, teas atterded on Monday morning by great numbers of Persons, who flocked thither from all parts of the inetropolir, for the purpose of hearing those " manifestations of the Spirit," which formed the chief topic of the Rev. Gentleman's discourse nn Sut - day. The interest excited by these " manifistations" may ..e judged of from the fact, that although the service com menced so early as half.pa't six, and the morning was bleak and c,ild, the body of the church was filled with re spe.lab'e people of both sexes even before the appointed is ur. Whilst Mr. Irving was engaged in reading a chap ter from the Acts of Apostles, the voice of a min was suddenly heard, who harangued the congregation in the unknown tongue, and concluded by interpreting the words he had uttered. Shortly afterwards a woman raised her nice, and gave another specimen of the operation of the Spirit," which was also fo'lowed by an interpretation. The next part of the service was a very long prayer from a gentleman, who beseeched the Almighty to restrain the scoffers, whom he warned that whilst they imagined them selves mocking human creatures, they might, in fact, be mocking the Holy Spirit ! At the conclusion of the pryer, a lady, whom we understand to boa Miss Caraden, or Ctrs dell, commenced an address or oration, and we were ena bled to catch a few of the words:—" O retention a honos kolo odo nontas kahelion Otnana te;dess halion." After a short pause we were favoured with the interpretation, part of which was se follows :—" 0 resist not the love of Jesus-0 you doubt it ! 0 you doubt it !oit is grievotio that you should doubt his love! He is love! He is love 0 draw nigh to him—draw nigh to him ! Your Fa *ther's arms are open—your Father's arms see open ! He will receive you. He remembers the weakness of bieerea. tures : he knows that they are but dust," &c. There was nothing unearthly in the tones in which this was spoken ter sting, but the voice was powerful and sonorous, and, re sounding through the church, was well calculated to in spire the hearers with a feeling of awe. The female part of the congregation were evidently much affected, every sound of the speaker's voiee seeming to prodnce a thtin rd honor among them. At one planed an elderly ivisieaM cried out, " 0 save us !" and it was supposed by anise who occupied seats in a remote part of the church that afte kad been suddenly endowed with that gift of shaking in A« tongues, and had committed the mistake of feeginning with the known before the unknown language ; but it soadbe catne evident that the poor woman cried out from a teeing of sheer terror.—The whole service was conclueted with a solemnity well calculated to snake a deep impression. Yesterday morning the church was again well tilled at the same hour, half-past six o'clock. In the course of the morning Miss ,Carsden, tar Onset% raised her voice— " Coortorna ruramur psoah chambels mentara tsow." We add part of the interpretation :---" You need it—you need it ;—you need the word of the Lord to comfort you ; for it is a time of perplexity. He is about to rise, and He shall speak terribly to the nations;—He shall arise--Hue shall arise ;—He shall do his strange work. The wicktol shall not always prosper. Rejoice / rejoice! for he cometh,—your Kira cometh. Fear, ye that cannot bear the eye of your God ! Be not deeeived,—be not deceiver!. It is the Holy One that is coining ! He cannot ahiee iniquity;—He stretches nut his hand," lac. The whole of this was forcibly delivered, particularly the wards whirls we have marked by Italics, which were given with great power, vehemence, and even dignity, and with electtical effect upon the auditors. Miss Hall then addressed the congregation, with an effect little inferior to that which was produced by Miss Carsdell. In her interpretation this lady exclaimed, " Oh, refuse not—refuse not to listen to His voice! 0 beware, ye mockers ! beware of despis ing the work of the Lord ! 0 return unto the Lord ! Ile will have mercy upon you !" At the close of the' Service this morning Mr. Irving addressed a few words t► his hearers on the subject of keeping order in the church. He observed that mounting on the benches was wholly inconsistent with the decorum of a Christian con gregation, and could ant be 'permitted. He entreated them to keep their seats and listen. It was evident, however, that all the confusion arose from the anxiety of the individuals present to see as well as to hear, as the female orators, instead of standing up, continued to sit iu their pews while discoursing " in the tongues." As to the words with which the orators commenced their harangues, we can by no means goaractee the ac curacy of the specimens we have given, .end we dare say that we have made sad work of the orthography. These unknown tongues are fearful matters for a reporter. The English parts are generally considered as as interpretation. Judging from their length, as compared with the brevity of the unknown portion, it would teem inure probable that they are given by way of commentary. Mr. Irving has been preaching on the subject of these " manifestations" for several months, awl the scenes which we have attempted to describe are the fruits of his exertions. It is rather strange that although he has been so successful in obtaining the gift for others, he snakes no pretensions to any skill in it himself. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

LIVING IN FEAR.—On Monday, a decently dressed but singular-looking ma■ went to Chamber House and after having partaken of his Grass's cheer, requested to speak to the Duke of Nxwcasmx personally, as he had some information of great importance to communicate to him. The man was suspected, and having peen ques tioned, said that he came from Nottingham to offer his services to the Duke in finding out the chief rioters at Nottingham with whom he was well acquainted. He was taken to Blith for further examination, and was afterwards sent to Nottingham, where he will be again examined.— Nottingham Mercury. We understand that Sir HENRY PARNELL is about to proceed to Paris in the course of a few days.— The object of the Right Hon. Baronet's visit to France is wiid to be connected with the system of finance in that country. A Borv-GUARD.—The Dublin Morning Register alludes to the getting up of a " body-guard" t,i protect Sir CHARLES WETHERELL is Bristol, and adds, quaintly enough—" The only body-gnard of which Sir CHARLES stands in need is a pair of suspenders, to close the immense apertnrebetween his vest end nether garment." Amongst the sufferers at the capture of the Polish capital were two respectable Englishmen, whet had established an extensive brewery in the suburbs of War saw. The Poles availed themselves of this building, which, from its strength and magnitude, formed an ex cellent position fur repelling the assailants. The Russian troops made numerous attempts to carry the place, but were invariably repulsed with great loss, and they finally abandoned it, until other parts of the vicinity fell into their possession, and it became a more easy capture. The indignation of the Russians was excited by the resistance made, and the losses they had sustained at this spot, and, in consequence, they vented their rage in the destruction of the property. A large quantity of porter, with the materials and premises, have been destroyed, and the pro prietors nearly ruined ; they have come to this eountry, to seek redress through the medium of the British Govern- • inent and Russian Embassy, but with what chance of euc ceeding we are unable to say. THE Blsitors.—The Bishops arc an amphi bious sort of beings, " neither fish, flesh, nor fowl, nor good red herring." " Their idols are Over and gold.. eyes have they, and see not ;" but I cannot add with the !loyal Poet, " they have hands, and handle ant." How to propitiate such things is difficult, or rather it is less difficult than expensive; but even the Liturgy of their own composing makes theta hard of manazement. See how the prayer to "send down on oar Bishops the health ful spirit of thy grace" is introduced. It begins with this prudent invocation to the Deity, thou " who alone wotkest great marvels." It is asked as almost a hope !esti matter, and it has turned out entirely so, a . witness the eyes that see not," and the total want of " grace," in the r e cent muster directly against the peace of the com munity, and indirectly against their own welfare.
