THE PAVEMENTS Mr. Payne, of High-street, Bloomsbury, the in genious inventor of the self-illuminating dials, has recently presented to the public a newly-invented rammer for the purpose of driving down the paving stones, which will probably supersede with much advantage the barbarous logs of wood hitherto used. From the sight of the model, with which we hare been favoured, it would appear that the frame of the rammer is about the size and shape of a large wheelbarrow, except that it rests on two wheels instead of one. Between the wheels are two up right posts, with grooves, in which slides a weight of about 4 cwt. of wood, loaded with iron or 'era This weight is suspended by a rope across a pulley, which rope is fastened on the other side to a long bar of wood, or lever, with two projecting handles for the men who are to work the machine. This lever rests on a fulcrum at the back of the frame, and two men, by depressing the handles, raise the weight with very small exertion, to a height of about seven feet, whence it falls sharply on the stone, gaining by accelerated motion many times its force. By slight variations in the length of the lever, or in the height of the pulley, the power could be very much increased, but the amount thus gained is deemed quite sufficient. The principal advantages of this machine appear to be simplicity, its por tability, for a boy may manage it, and the ease with which it may be worked. By calling into play the muscles of the arms and chest instead of those of the abdomen, the great danger attendant on the use of the old rammer is avoided. Its cost is but trifling, and it can be applied with advantage to the reparation of old pavements, without the tedious and expensive process of taking them up. A pave ment thus prepared, and afterwards grouted, would, we think, defy any weight that could be brought to to bear on it. The model is open to the inspection of surveyors and scientific men at Mr. Paine's house, THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

Pastor of a Chapl of Ease in this city was engaged in prayer, in the courfe of the forenoon eervice, he was interrupted by a man who rushed in from the street, and, taking his position immediately in front of the pulpit, looked him full in the face, and exclaimed, with a tremendous oath, " Give me the hundred pounds you owe me !" So unusual a crave, and while the clergyman was in the act of discharging one of the most sacred functions of his office, crested a sensation of horro r throughout the congregation, and the intruder was instantly removed by order of the minister. From some expressions which escaped him while leaving church, it is supposed he must have been labouring under insanity. 111 ought, however, to have been taken into custody.— Greenoch Advertiser. BRUSSELS PAPERS (From the Moniteur Beige.) BRUSSELS, Drc. 7.—The Commission appointed to take part in the commercial discussions which are going to be opened at Paris, met yesterday at the hotel of the Minister of the Interior. M. Compte Le Hon, our Am bassador at Paris was present. It was resolved the Com missioners should, as soon as possible, go to the provinces, in order to collect all information that can throw light on the questions which will be discussed at Paris, and then to complete the documents already collected by the Minister of the Interior, and which have been communicated to them. The Chamber of Representatives resolved yesterday to name a Committee of `Jnquiry to examine, in every point of view, the situation of the Bank with respect to the public treasury. The Chamber has thus taken the hest means of enabling all parties to form an opinion of what is now really owing to us by the Bank. The com position of the Committee is satisfactory. All opinions for and against the Bank are represented in it. BRUSSELS, DEC. 7.—ln the sitting of the Chamber to-day, the chief subject of discussion was the Convention of Zondhoven. M. Polentils showed all the advantages of the Conven tion, proved in what it violates the constitution, and in what it destroys all that our plenipotent iaries at London had at first demanded for Belgium. M. Melchamp defended the convention, and endeavoured to prove that there was no connexion between the con vention for the garrison of Maestricht and that for the navigation of the Meuse. M. Dumortier observed, that as there were four of the Minister. present he was surprised that none of them attempted a justification. The Minister of Justice said, these things had been often enough repeated ; it was better to be silent. M. Dumot tier, three several times, and then M. Huart, endeavoured to make the Ministers speak. M. F. de Merode opposed it. The Minister of War said, " An assurance is given that the garrison of Maes'richt shall not be augmented." But, said M. A. Rodenbach, where is the Ministerial responsibility? What if 15.0 or 60,000 men should be suff-red to enter Maastricht? The Minister of War repeated his answer. M. Dumortier read Art. 121 of the Constitution, and Art. 4 of the Convention of May 21, which he affirmed have been violated by the Ministry. He repeated what has been said of the Convention, and ag ain observed that it ma k es no mat t er , if th e Ki ng o f the Belgians, with the title of the " King of the Netherlands," is frequently repeated. h not Leopold as legitimate as King William ? M. Dumortier then spoke at great length against the Convention, which was warmly defended by M. Nothomb. M. Gendebien, in a speech of an hour, which was listened to with the most profound attention, compared the notes delivered to the Ministers of France and England with the speeches latelydelivered by the Ministers to prove that they have forfeited their word, renounced their former conduct, and shown that they arc unworthy of the confi dence of the King and the nation. We hear that Baron de Loe, who is a candidate to suc ceed M. Hennequin as senator, has been recalled to Bel eium, and that be has resigned the post which he held in Vienna.—Brusaels Pape? a, Dec. 10. GERMAN PAPERS. GOTTINCEN, Nov. 25.—A regulation has been intro duced, by which students are not to have passports to travel during the continuance of the lectures, except in cases of evident necessity. In the passports given them to travel during the vacations, the commencement and the end of the vacations are always to he stated. As soon as the vacations expire, they are to deliver their passports, duly signed, to the tribunal of the University, if they will nut expose themselves to unpleasant consequences, and even, according to circumstances, to expulsion from the University. WARSAW, Nov. 26.—His Majesty has ordered a levy of recruits for the whole kingdom of Poland. It is to commence the Ist of December, this year, and to include all males horn the age of 20 to that of 30 years. The exceptions are numerous, viz.,-1. Only sons. 2. One son in every family to be chosen by the parents. 3. The guardians of minor brothers and sisters whose parents are dead. 4. Foreigners and their sons not born in the kingdom. 5. Civil officers. 6,7, 8, 9. The Catholic and Greek clergy, the Protestant clergy, and the hloravians. 10. Professors and traders in the public schools. 11. The heads of manufactories. 12. Artists and Master Artisans. 13. Cripples. 14. Postillions. 15. Jews who have embraced the Christian religion. 16. Jew., the sons of Nobles ; inferior officers, and the civil officers.—Franh fort Papers, Dec. '7. • NAPOLI, Nov. 12.—The second division of the vo lunteers, levied in Bavaria, landed here a week ago, after a !Image of twenty-four days, without having a single in dividual sick on board. Like the first division they are entirely composed of fine young men. His Majesty in spected them on their landing. They will remain here a few days, and are, from what we hear, destined for Athens. The two squadrons of the third and fourth re giments of Bavarian light horse, quartered here, will on the 15th take their passage on hoard the vessels that brought the volunteers, to return to Bavaria. The King entertaining a proper sense of the excellence of their con duct, and of their attention to service, gave them an en tertainment before the gates of Napoli, on the Bth. Much enthusiasm was displayed on this occasion, both on the part of the military and the inhabitant.. FRANKFORT, DEC. 2.—An application has been made to the High Senate for the Eschernhesimer gate, and As chaffenbourg gate, in the Faubourg of Sachenbausen, to he guarded by the foreign troops stationed here. The ground for this is to render the hotel of the sittings of the Diet, and that called the German house, more secure. The application has been refused by the Senate. VIENNA, DEC. 2.—Five per Cent.

AMSTERDAM, DFC. 6.—The birthday of his Royal Highness the Prince of Orange is kept to.day in the capi tal with the tnost cordial feelings of joy and attachment to his Royal Highness and the Royal Family. THE HAGUE, DEC. s.—ln the Sitting of the Second Chamber yesterday a Royal message was received, with a new project of law on the land tax for 1834, in conse quence of the objections made in the sections to that pre sented on the 28th October, which his Majesty had or dered to be withdrawn. During the absence of Baron Verstolk Van Soelen, the office of Minister for Foreign Affairs will be again held, ad interim, by Baron Van Zuylen Van Nyevelt. His f xcellency Prince Potemkin, Minister Plenipoten tiary from his Majesty the Emperor of Russia to our Court, arrived here on Monday last. DEC. 4.—By the express desire of his Majesty arrange ments are making in the department of the Minister of War and Marine for an entire new organization of the land and naval force. The moveable schuttery is to be placed on a new and reduced footing. A different organization will be introduced also into the line, and each battalion be com posed of six companies. It is also said to he the ir,tention of the Government to withdraw a part of the table mo ney; and, lastly, that the fortresses are to be declared for the present, instead of a state of siege in a state of war. But this last requires confirmation. H•AILLENI, DEC. 6. —Yesterday but little business was done in our funds on the Exchange of Amsterdam, except in the Syndicate.

A meeting of the citizens of Dublin took place on Wednesday last, to consider the danger arising from the last combinations of workmen, when Mr. O'Conn •1l addressed the meeting at considerable length on the subject, and expressed his doubts as to whether such combinations existed, adding, that if there were any, the arm of the law was quite strong enough to put them down. A few cases of cholera having recently oc curred in the suburbs of Helston, the Board of Health at that place have published a report, from which it appears that there have been but five cases in the whole, and that of these three have died, and two have recovered.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, which did not arrive yesterday in consequence of the violence of the weather, and also those of 'Wednesday, have reached us this morning. They do no contain any important news from Spain, but it was rumoured in Paris on Wednesday afternoon that a telegraphic despatch had been received from Bayonne with favourable news. The partieularF, however, had not transpired. A Paris Correspondent, in a letter dated Wed nesday, says that very serious apprehensions begin to be entertained at the Tuileries, lest the affairs of Spain and Portugal may yet lead to a rupture between the Great Powers of Europe, and that the Congress of Ministers to be held at Vienna will interfere in the Swiss ques- tion, and thus compel France to assume an energetic attitude. As the writer does not state the authority on which he makes this assertion, we must be permitted to doubt its correctness. Affairs in Spain have gone too far, we think, for the Northern Powers to make them the ground-work of a rupture at this moment, however desirous they may have been in the first instance that they should prove a source of difficulty and embarrassment to the French Government. The French Papers state that the Carlists of Biscay and Navarre, to the number of 7,000 men, had intrenched themselves at Onarsun, with the intention of giving battle to General VALDEZ, who was advancing against them at the head of a smaller but well organized force. These papers also state that an expedition against Constantine, to consist of 20,000 men, under General CLA UZEL, will sail from Toulon early in April. This is a larger force, perhaps, than the service demands, but the French Go vernment find the war in Africa very useful as a means of keeping the French army in practice. The Paris journals contain extracts from the Warsaw papers of the 26th ult., stati ng the execution there of four more Polish officers, and that a new levy of recruits had been ordered by the Russian Government in Poland.

The attention of the public has been called by the Times of this morning to the conduct of Austria in encouraging the arbitrary proceedings of the King of SARDINIA against his sub jects, and in endeavouring to obtain from the French Government its consent to the interven tion of Austria in favour of the petty despot of Sardinia, in the event of an application being made by him to the Austrian Court for aid. The answer of the French Government has, we are glad to find, been in the negative, and we may reasonably conclude that, after such an answer, the Austrian Government will not dare to interfere. All the encroachments which have hitherto been'madelhy the Allied Sovereigns on the principle of liberty, as affecting other states, are to be attributed to want of firmness in the British and French Governments. If they had spoken out, not only would no new attempt have been made by the absolute Powers of the Continent, upon that principle, further, perhaps, than as regarded the internal regulations of their own dominions, but political freedom would have taken a high flight—ltaly would have shaken off the Austrian yoke, and Poland would have been free. We cordially concur with the Times in repro bating the detestable act of oppression and per fidy perpetrated by the Holy Alliance against the Genoese in 1815, and in saying that the Government of France would be perfectly justi fied in interfering with Piedmont in the event of Austria lending assistance to the King of SARDINIA for the subjection of the remnant of liberty enjoyed by the people who by fraud and perfidy have been brought under his control. There are, however, many other parts of the globe on which the principles of despotism have been enforced by the Northern Sovereigns, and respecting which a declaration, similar to that which has been made by France in the case of Piedmont, ought to be made at once by the British and French Courts. How has it hap. pened that the Belgian question, after discus. sions and negotiations for two years, remains al this moment in as unsettled a state as it was when those discussions commenced ? Why is Don MIGUEL still Sovereign de facto of a great part of Portugal, and why has the intellect of Spain been kept down so long, whilst bigotry and superstition have been striding triumphantly through the land ? If there had been no inter vention by the Allied Courts in favour of the King of HOLLAND, the Usurper of Portugal, and the priesthood of Spain, would the prin ciple of liberty have been so long stationary ? But for this intervention—a diplomatic one, in deed, but not on that account the less successful —the moral and political influence of Great Britain and France would have been extended for their own security, and•for the happiness of mankind. It is high time for England and France to use a higher language, not only against projects of armed intervention, but against Court intrigue—it is high time for the British and French Cabinets to open their eyes not only to the despotic principles of Austria and Prussia, as regards the immediate object which they have in view, but also as respects the great fulcrum upon which they are moved. If the King of HOLLANIO, the Usurper of Portugal, and the Pretender in SPAIN are puppets in the hands of Austria and Prussia, those Powers are not less puppets in the hands of the Autocrat of the North. The Cabinet of Russia, the most subtle and skilful of all the Cabinets of Europe, has been steadily and rapidly pursuing its course. Whilst Austria and Prussia have carried on the work of op pression in their own states, and upheld despotism in Spain and Portugal, thus occupying the attention of Great Britain and France with diplomatic notes, Russia, the prime mover, has been hourly strengthening herself in Persia, in Turkey, and in Greece, and pre paring the means of striking a fatal blow not only at the political influence but also at the commercial greatness of Great Britain and France. It has become, therefore, a question of personal safety with us to resist the encroachments of Austria and Prussia as the instruments of Russia, against whose intrigues and almost open defiance we have much more reason to be on our guard than we had to be against the ambition of the Emperor of FRANCE. NAPOLEON in the height of his power, and amidst the roar of can non, had never made half the progress towards undermining our political and commercial great ness that Russia, with her intrigues and those of her instruments, has silently achieved. Every act of tyranny by Austria and Prussia over the principle of political freedom at home and every act of intervention by those powers in favour of the principles of despotism abroad, is a step in favour of Russian ambition and spoliation. Whilst we are wasting our time in diplomatic remonstrances with Austria and Prussia, in which by far too much courtesy is mixed, Russia is waxing stronger and stronger in the means of annoyance and political crime. There is but one way of defeating the ambi tious schemes of Russia—let the Cabinets of Great Britain and France assume the tone which they ought long since to have held towards Austria any Russia, and those Powers will either cease to be the instruments of Russia, or they will be compelled to throw off the mask, and will meet the chastisement which is their due, and which Great Britain and France united would find it easy to inflict. It will be seen from a circular in another part of T he Sun, that Lord ALTHORP is proceeding to obtain information upon the subject of tithes. It is clear, therefore, that Ministers are resolved no longer to incur the risks that must result from longer delay in the settlement of that important question. We cannot forbear taking this oppor tunity of warning the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER not to fall into the mistake he did last session, when attempting to legislate on this intricate subject. It will be recollected that the principle upon which his Lordship's Bill went was to take the average payments for tithes for the last seven years, and make those payments a kind of perpetual composition, subject only to a deduction of ten per cent., at the judgment of certain valuators. This would evidently have been productive of monstrous injustice both to landowners and clergymen. It is notorious that many landowners have been for years paying larger sums in the shape of tithes than they ought fairly to have done, in the hope that the Legislature would at length deprive litigious clergymen of the power to oppress which, in various parts of the country, they have shown too ready a disposition to exercise. On the other hand, many clergymen, having property of their own, were able to afford to take less than they were by law entitled to take, and have actually for years taken less. In cases of the latter description, and we believe they are more numerous than those of the former, the landowner would, by making the payments of the last seven years perpetual, obtain an undue advantage not simply over the clergyman but over the public, whose pro perty the tithe is. This is one reason why it is possible that our legislators, who never forget their own concerns, whilst settling the affairs of the nation, may agree to a less advan tageous arrangement for the public, than they otherwise would. The only reason why Lord ALTHORP was not able to pass his compulsory measure of composition last Session, was, that the parties who have been for years plundered by the clergy, were rather more numerous than he an ticipated, and made a most unexpected outcry at the proposed confirmation of their grievance. The fact is, and it would be a folly to blink it, that nothing leSs than the system of valuation and commutation, proposed in the case of Irish Tithes, will have any chance of decidedly settling the question in England. Had Mr. GoUL BURN, when he brought in his Tithe Composi tion Act, been able to carry the plan of com mutation, brought forward by Mr. STANLEY, the year before last, the Tithe question would in Ireland have been long since dead and buried. But the clergy were not then sufficiently frightened to see the necessity of so effectually se curing their property by a sacrifice of a part. Our readers will probably recollect that the plan pro posed for Ireland is to value the tithes and then allow the landowner to redeem them at so many years purchase, allowing him a discount in creasing according to the earliness of the period at which they are redeemed ; the sums thus accumulated being set apart to pay the clergy, in fair proportions, for the discharge of their duties. It is in this way that the Government may have a chance of preserving tithes in England. Any less liberal measure will render it as difficult to rescue them from the gripe of the land lords as it has proved in Ireland. The plan would, no doubt, meet with some oppo sition even from the clergy whose interest is most concerned by its being carried into effect, but the more enlightened portion of the community would be in its favour, and there are clergymen (the Rev. Mr. JONES, Professor of Political Economy at king's College, for instance), who have written in its support. That a full and efficient Reform of the Church in other matters, besides Tithes, will be insisted upon by the people, may be inferred without ' much difficulty, from the temper of a vestry meeting, which took place yesterday evening, in the parish of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, to peti tion Parliament to repeal the Local Church Act, together with all Acts respecting tithes and com pulsory payments for the support of the hierarchy. Only four hands were held up against the petition ; and can we wonder at the parish being tolerably unanimous upon the subject, when every man in it knows that the rector receives 2,0001. per annum for undertaking to do the duty, and pays two curates 1501. each to perform it ? Brussels Papers to the 10th inst. arrived this morning. Extracts from them will be found in another column. A letter has been received from Prince TAL LEYRAND, announcing his intention of returning to London on or before the 20th inst. His niece, the Duchess de DING, is to arrive in London on Tuesday next.

LONDON, 1833. • A collection of Portraits of the most beat' tiful females among our English Nobility,. 0 1 forming altogether a galaxy of beauty, such, ' we verily believ e , no o th er country i n t h e wo e° can equal. The work is popular, and deserve s to be so. FINI)EN'S -ILLUSTRATIONS to BYRO II filler XX. LONDON, 1833. This part consists of four landscape illustts' tions and one portrait. The landscapes ar ° views of Seville, Cephalonia—from a desigi i furnished by Turner—St. Mark's, Venice, at Constantinople, from Pera. The portrait, 1s that of William Gifford, the late caustic and learned editor of the Quarterly Review, and Is no other way remarkable, than as exhibiting an, es' traordinary absence of anything like intellectua l expression. The lips are thick and sensual ; the forehead low and retreating ; the eye dull, v a ealit and glassy ; and the nose as clumsy and massive as a bludgeon. It would be a most unjustifiable quiz to exhibit a picture like this at the Royil Academy as the " Portrait of a Gentleman." it looks just like that of a carcase-butcher at Hogs Norton. As an engraving, however, it is very highly-finished production. TURNER'S ILLUSTRATIONS TO ;RO , GERS'S PLEASURES OF MEMORY, iv.

Montreal papers to the 16th November, Singapore to sth ofJuly, and Newfoundland to the 22d of November have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Montreal and Singapore papers are void of any news of consequence. The Newfoundland pipers ewe that the yacht Forte arrived there in seven days from Quebec, with the Chief Judge, Bolton, and family on board. The mystery Which long prevailed, with respect to the increase in the number of the Council, is at length cleared up, official communication having been made that his Excellency the Governor had received the mandamus from the Colonial Office,:calling M. B. Garland, William Tho mas, and Dunacomb to a seat in his Majesty's Council. The Montreal Papers, of the 16th November, state that the continuation of the emigrants tax will probably be. come the subject of discussion during the ensuing session of the Provincial Parliament.

We have received accounts from Cadiz, stating that the Queen was proclaimed there, and every thing was tranquil. Console continue stationary at 88j i for the Account, with little or nothing doing.

A NEW WINE.-The following is a transla tion of an advertisement which appears in a French paper (Le National), ornamented with a woodcut of Noah's ark :—" Noah's Wine.--The vine which produces it is to be traced, according to tradition, to that which the good father Noah planted when he came out of the ark. In order to make it known at the soirees which are now com mencing, it will be sold at present for four francs a bottle, but afterwards the price will be raised to six francs. Nec tur,—ambrnsia,—are nothing compared to this wine. It made the good father Noah tipsy, which is saying every. thing. The patriarch was not a man to get tipsy on bad wine."
