The LORD MAYOR and Sheriffs of Dublin were introduced to the ICING, for the PuTose of presenting an address of congratula ' Con on his MAJESTY'S accession to the Throne. - •We have some accounts this morning from the Whale Fishery, giving in some shape the causes of the recent failure. It appears a fifth part of the vessels in the trade have been anni hileted, but the loss of human life has been 4 4 14 )„ gi being confined to six or eight indivi (mak. The season, in fact, has been one of the most" ernbirrasaing ever known, from the Accumulated masses of ice by which the naviga don was impeded, the continued haziness of the weather, and the frequent gales of wind.— The ships arrived at the proper season in Mel ville Bay, where, by a strong gale from the south, they were blocked in, and compelled to remain twelve weeks. From this period nothing but disasters took place, which ended in the loss of 18 vessels. 'e have accounts from Havannah to the fiddle of S eptem b er , b ut t h ey b r i ng no news . 'the Exchange on London was 21 per cent. Pram. No cases of yellow fever had occurred on the shor e , b ut t h e di sease h a d b r ok e n o ut o n boar d a Spanish frigate, and 20 men had died.

National and merchant vessels are to abandon t he Ilse of forei gn li quors in three months after. At date; and any person who shall land or vend such liquor, besides suffering the confisca tion of the article, shall be punished. A decree of the Government, dated Lima, directs that all citizens from the ages of 15 to 50 years, shall erttlist the mse l ves under proper officers, in order to Dim bodies of militia, both cavalry and infantry.

Several of them have already lodged their plate at the Castle, fiir its more secure protection. Our correspondent adds, that hundreds of the lower classes of work men are provided with pikes, and that all partie s are looking forward to the KING'S speech with intense anxiety. A meeting of the Thames Tunnel Company was held yesterday, at which a Report was rend to the effect " that a declaration having been made at the last meeting of the Company, that Mr. BRUNEL'S plan was the best calculated to complete the important work of the Tunnel, it had been resolved, ' That the remainder of the Tunnel be completed on such plan when the necessary funds be obtained for that purpose.' The Board of Directors had, therefore, resumed their exertions to effect such object, being en couraged thereto by the success in the accom plishment of the work hitherto done, and by the perfect confidence gained that the work may be completed; The Report went on to state, that the interest which this bold, useful, and un precedented undertaking has universally excited, is a further encouragement, to hope for aid from the wisdom of the Legislature, and the Direc tors will seize the first opportunity which shall present itself of applying for such aid:" It gives us pleasure to find that this useful and mag nificent work is not to be altogether abandoned; that, in fact, there is a reasonable chance of its being completed in a worthy spirit. Equally gratified are we to find that Mr. BRUNEL, the engineer, is to be allowed to superintend the speculation, in which, but fur the interposition of circumstances, which at the time it was im possible either to foresee or to guard against, he would probably ere , now have succeeded. We always thought it was an act of injustice, on the part of the Company, to propose even to take the Tunnel out of the hands of this gentleman ; had lie bungled in his work, there might have been some excuse for such severity, but the irruption of the Thames was an accident, to which the cleverest engineer that ever existed would have been equally liable. So far as it has yet proceeded, Mr. BItUN B L's work has given very general satisfaction, and he (and he alone) should be allowed to superintend it to its conclusion. The Directors, we see, propose in case of need, applying to Parliament for as sistance ; we trust that such application will not be made in► vain ; as public grants have been awarded, and with no reluctant hand, for works a hundred times less national and valuable in their character than the Thames Tunnel.

The f►nances of the Government are represented to be more flourishing than for these two years past, though it is said that the troops were not only unpaid but that the ships Of war are lying at the Castle without a sufficient number of men to keep them free from water ; they consist of one of the line, a frigate, and some few brigs, not one of them fit for sea ; the soldiers in the interior, with the sanction of their Commanders, either beg or plunder; the trade with this place is rapidly declining." LIVERPOOL, OCT. 25.—We have had a fair demand for the better kinds of British plantation anger, although the prices may he quoted rather lower. The sales are about 850 hhds, In East India sugar nothing doieg. Cotton having continued so long flat some holders have given way about -id. per lb. in the price, which stay be consi dered a general decline; the sales of this week consist of about 2,000 bags. The demand for pine timber is only moderate. TIIN FUNDS. We have no arrival* of any importance, but the Dutch and Gilead steamers are expected in a few hours.

Prayers tvere read by the Bishop of Oxford, oft •t which the Lord Chancellor, Earls Roslyn and Bathurst, Viscount Melville, end Lord Ellenborough, took their sub on the Woolsack; as Lords Commis.ioners. The LORI) CHANCELLOR then directed the Yetunnn Usher of the Black Rod to inform the House of Commons that their Lordships waited their attendance at the Bar. Shortly- of erwitrds the SPzAEz (the Right Hon. Chai les Manners Sutton), accompanied by nearly a bun dreil.llfetritseri, sppeared at the Bar., The SPEAKEa then addressed the House as fel - lows:—My Lords, I have to acquaint your Lordships, that in obedience to his' Majesty's commands his itfajery's faithful Commons have proceeded to elect a Speaker, and have done tae, my Lord*, the high honour of appointing me to - fill that important office. My Lords, lam well aware of the difficulties attendant upon the performance 01 the duties of this important office, and I cannot hut fiel sensible of my deficiency in the necessary qualifications for the discharge of its duties. But, my Lords, I AM at the same time perfectly satisfied that should it please his Majesty to disapprove of the choke of his faithful Commons, it would afford an opportunity for the selection of a person who would fill that important office with much more ability than I can do. The LORD CHANCELLOR—We have it is command from his Majesty to assure you, that Isis Majesty is so fully sensible of your ample and long-'tied sufficiency to execute the as sluous and importantdu►ics which his Majesty's faithful Commons have seleeted you to diseharge,that his Majesty does willingly approve and confirm the choice made by his faithful Commons, and has commanded his Cononiasioners in kis name to approve and confirm your election. The SI'EAKMR—My Lords, with the most profound sense of gratitude I bow to his Maje ty's command*. and it now becomes my duty, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty's most faithful Commons, to lay claim, by humble petition, to all their ancient and un- doubted rights and privileges—more especially those of freedom from arrest for themselves and their servants, free dom in debate, free access to his Majesty when occasion may require, and a favourable construction on all their doings; and should any thing take place at all displeasing to his Majesty, I tru►t his Majesty will attribute that to me, and not to his faithful Commons. The LORD CHANCELLOR-4ft. Speaker, we have it further in commlnd from his Majesty to inform you, that his Majesty does most readily confirm all the rights 'and privileges of his faithful Commons. With respect to yourself, Sir, though his Majesty feels sensible that you do not stand in need of that assurance, yet we are commanded to inform you, that his Majesty will always put a ftvour able construction not only on your words and actions, but oa those of hie faithful Commons generally, ' The. Settiottert then bowed and retired, fdlowed by the other Members who attended bins. The Lords Commissioners then left the Woolsack. Shortly afterwards the Lord Chancellor re-entered the House, when a few Peers took the oaths, end the House shortly afterwards adjourned till Half-past Two to-morrow. HOUSE OF COMMONS. At Twelve o'clock the Deputy Usher of the Black BM eurnmoned the attendance of the House to the House of Lords, to bear his Majesty's approbation given by Com mission to their choke of a Speaker. On their return The SPEAKER informed the House flirt his Majesty had been most graciously pleased to approve of their choice, and that in consequrnee he (the Spea!•er) hul chimed fur his Majesty's faithful Commons, all ancient rights and pd. vileges, which his Maje'ty, through the Lords Commis sioners, had [seen graciously pleased to grant to the full extent of any conferred by his Majesty's predecessors. The SPEAKER then said it is now my duty again to return my sintere thanks to the House, and to express my warmest gratitude for the high and distinguished honour that has again been cunferred upon me ; and also to assure the House that I will he faithful and diligent in its ser vice —(Hear, hear)—that I will strive to continue, and, if possible, to increase the confidence that has been reposed in me.—(Cheers.)—The first and only business before the House is for each Member to qualify himself accord ing to law. The oaths of allegiance and supremacy was then admi nistered to the Speaker, and afterwards to the other Mem bers patent. LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. PASUNGER V. HUNT. This waa an action brought against Mr. licnry Hunt to recover the value of a quantity of blacking bottler. The case came on for trial at the sittings before last term, when, in consequence of Mr. Hunt's w.trievee* not being in attendance, a verdict WM returned for the plaintiff. Mr. Hunt subsequently obtained a new trial, which now came on for decision. Mr. Ilirrcuntsnx and Mr. PLATT were for the plain tiff, and Mr. Hunt conducted hisdefence in person. The facts of the case were shortly these :—A traveller of the plaintiff's nhewed a sample of blacking tottlea to %lr. Hunt, and obtained from him an order for a large quantity, which it was admitted had been delivered, but it was con tended they were very inferior to the sample, and indeed entirely unfit for use, and therefore payment was resisted, and the presentaction.bronht. Mr. Hour addressed the Jury at great length. During whi c h he said, that he had never during the whole course of his life rued a man in a court of law, neither had he ever defended more than one action beride the present, and that was one brought against him to recover p ar t o f the expencea in erecting hustings in Covent-garden,wh en he was a candidate to represent the City of Weettninster in Parliament. He had often put up with extortion, sooner than seek lewd redress, and be would have done so in the present instance, but it wan teally too flagrant an attempt to extract money from his pocket. He had plenty of „witnesses to prove that he agreed to give a fair price for the bottles, and that when they were received they were entirely unfit for any purpose whatever. Mr. Hunt then called a witness, who deposed tq the bad quality of the bottles, and also that when the plaintiff was told in what condition they were he offered the witness a bribe to push them off in some way or the other. After the examination of this witness, Lord TENTXRDEN asked Mr. Hutchinson if he could re sist such evidence ? In his (Lord Tenterden's) opinion there was no case for a Jury. Mr. HUTCIIINSONIt depends on the credibility of the witness. Lord TENTERDIN•••••I yea nothing to doubt in the evi. deuce that he has given. Mr. Hunt—l do not wish you to atop the case, my Lord. I have a number of other witnesses. Lord TENTitanxx—Bat I have a duty to perform, Mr. Hunt, in not allowing the public time to be unnecesertrily occupied. His Lordwhip'then directed the plaintiff to be nonsuited. ADMIRALTY SESSIONS.-7-(THIS DAY.) At ten o'clock this morning Sir C. Roarxsox, Mr Baron ROLLAND, anti Mr. Justice BOSANCIUST, took their seats. on the Beech, and proceeded with the trial which 'occupied the whale of yesterd ay. The ten mariners, who were partly tried yesterday on a charge of , mutiny and other unseaman-like conduct on board the Inglis East Indianan, were again placed at the bar this morning. The prisoners being called upon for their defence, Mr. C. Pulturs rose to address the Jury on behalf of Lally, Rivers, Jordan, Wells, and Harrison. He coins mom! ley mentioning the excitement that this case had naturally made on the minds of all who had heard of it, and the anxiety that must exist as to its result. He Was not sorry, front the eiMurostances alluded to by hie Learned Friend (Dr. Lushington) relative to the notice the public press had taken of the proceedings in the case. He rejaimd in the hope that as long as the liberty of the press continued in England she would continue a free country, and he hoped that blessed press would ever continue to he employed in detecting error, exposing tyranny, and sympathizing with the op . pressed ; at the same time he agreed with his Learned Friend in deprecating that any proceeding. so published should ever have a tendency to prejudice the minds of those who're duty it might be ter try the issue. He was certain those gentlemen whom he now had the honour of atleiresw ing, were incapable of imbibing for one moment such pre judices. They he was sure would decide this important ease by the evidence., anti evidence alone, they hat heard. He congratulated the unfortunate men at the bare for, whatever might be the result of this enouirle they now breathed the pure atmosphere of a British Court of Justice. He also congratulated them that they stood at that bar to answer such serious charges before British Judges, who would not punish them without hearing their defence, and under the safe guardianship of a British Jury, who would not convict them on an ex-parte state ment, and without the fullest investigation of their case. How different this tribunal to th e one on b oar d t h e laglis , Eastlmbliy4Tun'oath. w here and oh a atrges the discretion h ad bte n thi b rought the g Judge h t unsup ported o that precious Cuddy Court" (Captain Dudnasu), they had been punightd there with Meature,. but with out mercy. The Learned Counsel here eulogised the manner in which his Learned Friend Dr. Lushingten, had conducted the prosecution, and with the humanity he had shewn, which was otoly commensurate with hie ability, hut there were some points on which he differed from the Learned Doctor, which he was sure he would not have laid down but for that gross Misrepreeentation which had been banded to him. As advocate for the prisonere, he did not stand there to deny the necessity of wholesome punish. ment by captains of vessels, but he believed strict disci. pline was necessary. It should be remembered, however, that the compact was mutual. Goovernm:tot would not inflict poinishment without inquiry, but in a merchant's vessel ell power was vested in the hands of the c optain. But, Gentlemen, the same duty which hinds the crew too obedience, binds the con►mander to humanity and pro- pricey, and if he ontateps there heundarite he heroines amenable for all the breach of duty which may arise in consequence. The Learned Counsel then appeeled to the Jury, and asked them whether this mutual compact bad been observed on beard the Inglis, or whether the most insupportable tyranny had not been ruling there. not these men been charged niti► mutiny and conspiracy. lout had they not been proved too be obedient, until by severity ofpunisloment goaded nature could submit En} longer. It hail b en stated yesterday that Captain pudmen had treated his crew with coinpassiou, but aftor the evil: nee that had been adduced, that expression would not he reiterated by his Learned Friend, for hail there been ever such unparalleled tyranny and cruelty heard of before this inquiry ?—and be felt happy that the East India Com pany were not the prosecutors itt this diabolical raw—it reflected honour on that respectalde body of British suer chants. It was not hard to guess who was the real pro secutor, fur Captain Millman and his officers ;were all liable to actions for their cruel conduct,.antl these meu had an into rest in convicting the prisoner's to screen themselves from the cons, quenees. The Leal ned Counsel then remarked at - considerable length on the evidence oof Captain Dudman, - and upon his Cations acts of ct uelty. A man tt its the Bible and the Prayer-book in his Lands on the . Babbash.lay, 14eaching the doctrines and exitoit ing the mercy of a dying sinner to his crew, and an the week day inflicting cruel tortures uptOn theirs, upon a charge made by a lying Chinese, for, under a vetr tieal sun and in a scorching climate they bad taken a little water to cool their parched tongues. If such had been the conduct nt the immortal Neleon, be would not have had a boatswain stepped between him and the drawn sword of an enemy to save his vnlualole life. After resnarkine upon the conduct of Captain Millman in a strain which ,otoserbed the attention of a crowded Court, he con tinued to remark in very mewl terms upon the evidence of the other witnesses for , the prosecution, Ile coneluded a speech replete with eloquence, and which evidently produced a sensation in a Court crowded to suf facation, not easily described. Mr. 041o:sox then commenced addressing the Jury cm behalf of the prisoners, Steele,• Cole, Morrie, Carter, an I M'Cannon. The Learned Counsel was speaking when our Reporter left.

It is making rapid advances towarda Muacow ; it is already at Sinebiask, 'l)aritzigur, Siretaff, and Pewza. At As trakhan, the Governor (Nireion) and almost every officer of pollee have rrished, and the other deaths are at the rate of about a hundred daily. If the disease once reaches Moscow, there can be little doubt that it will spread to St. Petershurgh, Warsaw, and from thence into Germany. " This will be much less extraordinary than its regular pr►gress from India to the CAUC4VI4N, and from thence into the southern provinces of the Russian Empire. It ap pears to be of a very deadly nature, and to have all the character of the real Indian cholera. " I have the honour, &c. (Signed) " " The Right Hon. the Earl of Aberdeen, K.L" We understand that accounts have been received subsequently, stating that the disorder had reached Moscow, where it was making frightful ravages. The Russian Government is making all possible efforts to stop its progress. Besides directing the attention of medi ca l science ut home to the sultject, a large reward has been offered in foreign countries for the discovery of any effectual mode of treatment.

Stn,—The calk of the disturbances in Kent is not sufficiently under*tond ; aud, en long ss that is the case, they will continue, until they have extended over the kingdom, or they will be from tune to time renewed, till the worst consequences ensue. Kent prtieipstres in the general distress of the country ; but it presents also a peculiar, a proximite, or exciting cause, which is of the most alarming nature to all who, like toe, can closely witness its operatiim. Ilundre , la (and, if we include the neighlouring coun ties, thousands) of seafaring men every night visit the opposite shires of the continent for tlir purpose of smug gling ; and, along with other contrab and goods, these men certainly bring over French testes anti inclinations, for the intim try thus kept up between people of the opposite coasts is almost a dome.tic one, Still this is not the greatest evil. To remove their contraband goods—tea, spirits, wham, silk, ribbons, lace, Sle. from the beach, many thousands of countrymen from the interior are employed; and, by various accidents, these men have lately been thrown into a st.ite of idleness, for, on assisting the smuggler, they mainly depend for subsistence. Two of these accidents I have witnessed, and may describe. First, it some ,months ago occurred, that (in conse quence, I believe, of some information of the state of things on the coast reaching Government, and reports appearing in the newspapers of reforms in the preventive system) some alarm was excited in that corrupt service, and some little effort at strictness was mole. The consequent dis tress, both of the seafaring people and the innumerable men they employ, was excessive, but, happily for them, it was of short duration. Secondly, the rrlap•e into security and the relaxation which billowed this effort of the preventive people, enabled dill smugglers to to glut the market with contraband goods, and particul•uiy with silks, ribbons, lact, Ito., that the further sale of them was of late scarcely possible, even at loss than the original cost; for, at that rate, they have been offered to myself by many of these men. In con. sequence of this, the host of dependents on the emugeler were again unemployed ; and it is from this immediate cause that the present distresses and disturbances more directly arise. The demand for these commodities, however, is again on the ri.e, and this may relieve them, Sincerely do I desire that it may ; for, injurious as this option is to the home manufacturer, if, at such a time as this, 100,000 of these men (and I am sure they could twister double that number) were driven to desperation, to march on the capital, a secret would come to light %bids neither you nor they underettnd at present. These men ore the most robust and powerful in the kingdom ; they are all skilled in the use of arms, that which they use most dexterously being a sort of flail with a long handle, and short body bolded with lead, which breaks the scull as surely as it timehee it; with fire-arms they are perfectly acquainted ; they are innured to danger and scorn it; in short, be alone can conceive how formidable they are, who bait seen then, thus prepared for accidents, pass bins, in hundreds on the roads, at night, to receive a cargo of goods. But the worst circumstance in this dreadful state of things is, that it is called into existence by the prem. tire system, of which the men universally enrich them eaves by the duty which is paid them by the smugglers. Each of them has his smuggling friends, who f o llow him wherever be moves. A great number of the men in that service are will known even to have shares in the'smuggling boat*; and they can always ensure the safety of these, by their being eae!► of them, during six hours, and that alone, on their watch ! A preventive man will often make from IN. to 1001. in the course of a night ; and I have myself had the curiosity to count five landings of goods in one night, in a small bay, in this neighbotirhoml. Surely the injury both to our own manufacturers and to the revenue, which is caused by this practice, must be immense ! while the public clinger is greater than any but en eye witness can imagine I I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Sandwich, Oct. 23, 1830. 7.ACH.

THE MANNERS OF THE DAY.--The follow. • iqg frump regarding this novel is extracted from a work published early in last June We hare reason to know that it has been pronounced a model of good breeding and elegance,' in several circles of the highest ion; and that this opinion has been recently confirmed by the au thority of the highest personage of the realm,—decidedly the most eminent judge in point of refinement of the exist • ing ' tuannera of the day.' The delicacy is such as could only have been expected from a fernrle pen. The interest is strong like the glance of the ratt!e-snake there is some thing fascinating in disclosures of moral obliquity ; but we entertain a confident hope that the publication of this novel will not only amuse a large class of readers who may be ignorant of the ' Manners of the Day,' but that it will go far to reform such manners altogether. In this expectation we know that we are joined by the illustrious individual alluded to." There are private letters itt town from Ant warp of the date of Saturday, which describe the situation or that piece as IfiniPt singular. The ap,Mirettt contradic tion in the previous accounts is now explained by the feet, that though the Prince of OaANtilt, hi order to conciliate the Provisional Government at Brussels, had issutd Orders fur the evacuation of the town by the Dutch hoops, General CiIASSRIt, the Commaridant, had refused to pay theta until duly authorised by the Knvt: to du so. It eves eoniidered that to long as the Dutch troops held Antwerp, there wee no danger of its being taken by the Belgians, as they were not provided with the requisite force, and even in that case its reduction would occupy several tuouthe. 11 was thought that the Prince of ()Rano* had since found cause t o regret, and to consider as premature, 11a declare.. thin in favour of the Provisions! Government, for whose decision, about which the utmost uncertainty existed, he was waiting with great anxiety's... Times. ME ANNUALS Poll laat. WINTER'S WREATH. The Illustrations to this Annual are iery beautiful, and have been prepared apparently without any regard to cost. Our favourite is the " Bandit's Home," a wild s and romantic landscape, which reminds us forcibly of the sublime, rugged scenery to be met with in the neighlrourhood of Snowden and Beth-pled. The literary contributions are well selected— many of them are excellent--and the majority of them above mediocrity. This is high praise for an Annual which chiefly trusts to engravings for its popularity. THE IRIS. As a work of art, this is a very creditable publication ; though we object to see religion disguised in the dandy fashion of an Annual. The Prints have been chiefly engraved fro► the ►matchless worhs of the old Scripture Painters, with the exception of one or two fiom the late President West. The literary department of the work is pays►ble. It is restricted, almost exch►sivel), to evangelical topics. THE CAMEO. A very graceful publication. The priutg, though not new, are many of them exquisitely beautiful ; the one in particular illustrative of Sir Walter Scott and his family it. 4 in the highest style of rot. The illustrious Baronet's own prose description of (this print—which we should observe is from an original by Wilkie—is at tached to it; and though it first appeared in print a year or two since, will bear republishing from its ease and natural playfulness.
