Mr. A ',THORPE explained that Mr. Calvert had stated he never would chnvass the electors, and it was the opinion of his Committee that he ought. At this stage of the proceedings a gentleman of the name of Carpenter presented himself from the bottom of the room, but was opposed, and a scene which would have disgraced a bear-garden took place. lie was ultimately heard, and asked r?h then it were true that Lord John Russell had not himself stated that there were circumstances which would preve►►t his Lordship accepting the representation of the borough of Southwark. Mr. PELLATT said, that at the meetingz to be held next Monday his Lordship would expliin the mat ter. This meeting was called to obtain the co•ope tion of the Dissenters in support of Lord John Rus sell, in the event of his standing. After some lengthened remarks from Dr. STYLES, eulogizing the exertions of his Lordship for his manly, independent, persevering, and successful efforts in the cause of civil and religious libettY, the resolution was adopted, and others to the effect that Lord John Russell Should be returned by the Dissen ters free of expense.

In hot climates, where Mule and Bilious Complaints are very prevalent, especially in the West Indies and America, these Drops, are, by extensive successful experience, proved to be in valuable.

REPRESENTATION OF SOUTHWARK, MEETING OF DISSENTERS IN FAVOUR OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL. Yesterday evening a numerous meeting of Dir. scoters and others was held at the City of London Tavern, with a view of devising the best means to obtain the co-operation of the Dissenters of London, who are electors of Southwark, to procure the re turn of Lord John Russell fur that borough, in lieu of the lute J. R. Harris, Esq. At half-past six o'clock, THOMAS WiEsoN, Esq. took the Chair. He stated the objects of the meet ing, and eulogized the conduct of the Noble Lord, in whose cause the meeting had been called. He considered that the Dissenters of England owed a debt of gratitude to Lord John Russell for his zeal in pressing upon the attention of the House of Commons the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts.—(Hear.)—Ministers were at present look ing much to public opinion as their guide, and he firmly believed that, as a reform of the House of Co:nmons must soon take place, that the people would effect that reform. Lo rd John Russell would not waste a fortune in his endeavours to get into Parliament for the borough of Southwark. The time, he hoped, had gone by when candidates were expected to enter the town with flags, On which were denoted the amounted they intended to give to each voter. He thought the borough of South wark would do itself honour by returning Lord John Russell, and he therefore cordially supported the objects of the present meeting. Mr. PELLATT, of St. Paul's church-yard, rend a variety of letters in support of the objects of the meeting; these were from Messrs. Hnnkey, the bankers; Rogers, Towgood, and Co. bankers; the Rev. Joseph Fletcher, and from some other clergy men of respectability in the dissenting world ; they all warmly espoused the cause of Lord John Rus sell, a debt of gratitude to whom was due by the Dissenters generally, for the great and successful exertions he made for a repeal of the Test and Cor poration Acts. T. WOOO, Esq., rose to move the first resolution : in doing so, he observed that the Dissenters ought to take shame to themselves for not having, long ere that time, testified their gratitude in a public manner, to the Noble Lord who had wrought such a change in their behalf by the repeal of the Test Acts ; that Noble Lord had upheld in the truest sense of the ward the glory of his ancestors, and shown that ho was a worthy scion of their house : it was a fact, con tinued the speaker,that a Government was at all times anxious to buy up talent at any price, but amid all the temptations thrown out by the Court, and all the temptations by which a young man like his Lordship was surrounded, he still nobly stood on independent grounds, and he was superior to every temptation. After glancing at his Lordship's recent defeat at Bed ford, and the late events in France, Mr. Wood con cluded by moving, " That Lord John Russell, by his noble exertions in the cause of civil and reli gious liberty, in bringing about a repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts, is entitled to the gratitude of all Dissenters."—( Loud cheers.) Mr. PEt.LATT seconded the resolution.. BENJAMIN Worm, Esq. (brother to Alderman Wood), rose to address the meeting. lie said he was not opposed to the resolution which had just been read, but he wished to set the meeting right, that it might not act under any delusion as to Lord John Russell's sentiment*.---( here great opposition to the speaker was evinced.)—He begged to read the following letter from Lord J. Russell : " Srit" Newnham, Aug. 29. have the honour to acknowledge having re ceived a letter from you, informing me of a report preva lent in the borough of Southwark that 1 had accepted an invitation to become a candidate fin that borough, and likewise apprizing me that although Mr. Calvert cannot become a candidate, he has protnised to represent South wark, if elected. You naturally wish, therefore, to know my intention upon the subject. " In answer to this request, I beg to assure you, that I have not received any regular invitation to become a candi date for the borough of Southwark, nor, had I received one, should I have thought it right to listen to it, until the death of Mr. Harris had eteati.d a vacancy, and Mr. Calvert had refused to supply that vacancy when called upon. Now that the calamity has occurred, and Mr. Calvert has avowed !dimwit' willing to serve, I can hate no hesitation in declaring that he shall nut have to encounter any prcten sloes of mine. Whatever other reasons I might have, either for accepting or declining the honour of being a candidate for Southwark, it is quite sufficient for me that you have already, in the person of Mr. Culvert, a gentle man of sound principles and independent conduct, who will again be prepared to testify in the House of Corn pions the attachment of his constituents to the cause of freedom—their hatred of corrupt government, and their seal in behalf of that indispensable reform, to which - the country has in the late elections given its sanction more decidedly and intelligibly than it had done for IA) years before.

The following letter exhibits a curious proof ,of the admatage of releasing men from penalties: even the most reasonable will refuse to abandon an error, if they are contumeliously treated Ott account of their opinions:— BATH, AUG. 30. I yesterday attended at the celebration of mass in the Roman Catholic chapel of this city, and was not a little surprised at hearing from the pulpit a written address, which exhibits (in reference to the subject-matter) the most remarkable sign of the times that has occurred within my memory ; and of which I therefore beg leave to communicate to you the substance. The address began with stating that the number of holydays appointed by the Roman Catholic church was much less than that of the days set apart for religious observances amongst the an . - dent Jews and Pagans ; that, notwithstanding, the Roman Catholics of modern times were less diligent 'a observing the lesser number of their festivals than the ancient Jews and Pagans had been in celebrat ing their more numerous holydays, and that the sub ject had been considered worthy of being submitted to a meeting of the English Vicars-Apostolicel, who assembled in London during the month of No vember, in the last year. The result of the des liberatmus of this right reverend assembly was a supplication to the Pope upon the point above stated, as Well as upon some other parts of disci pline; and his Holiness, upon the supplication of the Vic.as-Apostolical, was pleased to issue a decree, of which the general effect was to abolish various holy days altogether, to modify the observance of some others, and to annul the prohibition of eating flesh meat on Saturday, excepting only such Saturdays as have been appointed fast-days by competent autho rity. As causes justifying this extensive awd volun tary demolition of a discipline so long established, and hitherto so pertinaciously maintained, the ad dress enumerated, in addition to the one indicated above, the greater difficulty, which the poorer classes are obliged in this generation to encounter in pro curing a subsistence, and the consequent necess ity to which they are reduced of devoting a larger num ber of days in the whole year to that purpose, toge. ther with the improvement which had taken place in the state of the laws regarding the civil eights of the Roman Catholics of this country, which provement had induced in the minds of the heads of the Roman Catholic Church a desire to remove as much as possible the religious differences that ex isted between them and their Protestant fellow christians. The ordinance introducing these conci liatory and reasonable alterations into the Roman Catholic discipline is to take effect in this district from about the end of this month. It was dated from Prior-park, and signed by Dr. Haines, the VicarsApostolical of the district. I shell not pre sume to trouble you with any observations upon this document. That such measures would follow the emancipation of the Roman Catholics was, I think, often stated in the leading articles of the 'Ames; that such consequences would one day or other spring out of a Relief Bill, l in common with other Roman Catholics had anticipated. lint 1 confess that the rapidity of the operation has as much surprised me, as I believe the communication will surprise many of my fellow-religionists. It may very soon appear that Dr. Doyle's hint* of the pos sibility of conning to an accommodation upon th e subject of clerical celibacy, was not very premature. * In his letter proposing a union of the Protestant and Roman Catholic churches in this country, and addressed to - Robertson, Esq., M.P. The Inverness-shire election is now over, and has added one more triumph to the cause of civil and reli gious liberty, in returning the Hight Hon. CHARLIS GRANT as the representative of the people to the House of CORIIIIO[IB. ID England, the native land of freedom, the event would have passed without particular notice ; but in Scotland, the " Goshen" of Me Ministry, ry Me powers that be, such a result must be hailed as the harbinger of better feelings; and proud indeed may the freeholders of Inverness-shire feel upon having led the van, as it may be hoped, of independence, in a country hitherto devoted to the most abject submission to his Majesty's Ministers, be those Ministers Whoever they may lrippen to be. On this occasion Mr. GRANT 111$ triumphed over the whole weight of ministerial influence within doors, backed by the old, and every where else ex ploded, "No Popery" cry without. slay this be the last expiring struggle of bigotry ! this victory be the prelude only to the general diffusion of liberal awl inde pendent feelings in Scotland THE NEW POLICE.—it is understood thit, in consequence of the jealousies and biekerings - existing be tween the constables attached to the several police-ottices, and the new police, that the former will be placed upou a similar footing with the latter, having regard to the seve ral ranks they now hold. A deriorable event has occurred within a few days at Nantwich, whereby a respectable female lost her life, and other individuals are sulfuring from the same cause. On Thursday last Mrs. SHAW, wife ofT. Saaw, draper, boiled a kg of mutton, for the dinner of her fa- tally, in a saucepan which had some few days previous been used to boil arsenic, for the purpose of destroying vermin. As the saucepan had been well cleaned, and water had been boiled in it several times, it was supposed to be perfectly free from the poison, and that ne danger wet to be apprehended. When the dinner was prepared, , Mrs. SHAW sent part of the broth to a young man who WAS unwell in the neighbourhood, and partook of some herself. The Rev. JOHN Maass, Wesleyan Minister, having called in, was invited to dinner ; he and Mts. SHAW sat down, and were in the act of eating sonic of the broth, when Mrs. SHAW was taken suddenly ill, soil, SS the use previously made of the saucepan in whioh the broth was prepared returned to her mind, she desired them to eat no more. A me.eenger was instantly de. spatehed fur medical assistaem but considerable time elapsed before any eould be procured, and the unfortunate sufferer lingered in great pain until Sunday evening, when she expired.

NAPOLF,ON'S JUDGNIVNT. Bonaparte felt great repugnance to reverse a decision, even when aware of its ittjustice. little as in great things, nothing could induce hint to withdraw a step ; to recede was, with him, to lose. Here hts heart was at variance with his conduct; he felt this, too; but his good dispositions were silenced by what he regarded a 3 a political exigency. Never, perhaps. did Bo naparte say, " I have done wrong ;" his itvuu rite expression was, " I begin to suspect all is not right." Nevertheless, and in Opposition to this maxim, more becoming a disappointed theorist than the head of a governtherit, BOA , parte was neither rancorous nor vindictive, • :character was not sanguinary. I cannot, of course, justify all those sentences drawn . front him by the imperious law of war, .and the cruel necessity of circumstances ; but I am able to say, that, in this respect, mankind have often been most unjust towards him. Outrageous fools only . could have given him the a pp e lla t i ons o f Nero and Caligula. There 'existed nothing in his actions or character which ought to have ex posed him to such insult. I believe I have re. marked with sufficient sincerity on his real faults to be taken on my word ; well, then, I Cali assure the reader, that, setting aside political considerations, Bonaparte was feeling kind, ac cessible to pity : he was very fond of claim ; and rarely does a wicked man show such an attachment. In the habits of , p rivateho , nau—yes, the word is not too Stro ng,---la had touch benevolence, and,,grest2 . 4indulgenee for human weakness. A contrary opinion is toil deeply rooted in some minds, that I-411mM flatter myself with being 'able' entirely to remove the impression. 1 shall have, it is to be feared, some opposers; but I address myielf to those who seek for truth. I lived in the meet unre served confidence with Bonaparte for, six-and• twenty years, and I advance nothing lightly.. .At all events, allowance must be made for difference of times, circumstances, and characters. no Collegian must be distinguished from the General, the Consul from the Emperor, if we would pronounce an impartiarjudgment.--,Con strible's Miscellany, Vol. ERUPTION OF ETNA, A.U. UM. The lava, after overflowing fourteen towno and villages, some having a population of be. twcen 3,000 and 4,000 inhabitants, arrived at length at the walls of Catania. These had been Tpurposely - raised to protect the city ; but the urning flood accumulated till it rose to the top of the rampart, which was sixty feet in height, and then it fell in a fiery cascade and. over whelmed part of the city. The wall, however, WAS not thrown down, but Was discovered long afterwards by excavations made in the rock by :he Prince of l3iscari,; so that the traveller may now see the solid lava • curling over the top of the rampart as if still in the very act of fulling. This great current had :performed a course of fifteen miles before it entered the sea, where it was still 600 yards broad and forty feet deep. It covered some territories in the environs of Catania, which had never before been visited by the laves of Etna. While moving on, its sur face was in general a mass of solid rock ; and its mode of advancing, as is usual with lava streams, was by the occasional fissuring of the solid walls. A gentleman of Catania, named 'Pappalardo, de siring to secure the city from the approach of the threatening torrent, went out with a party of fifty men whom he had dressed in skins to . protect them from the heat, and -armed with iron crows and hooks, They broke open one of the solid walls which flanked the current near l3elpasso, arid immediately forth issued a rivulet of melted matter which .took the direction of Paterno ,• but the inhabitants of that town,' being alarmed for their safety, took up artrisand put a • stop to further operations. As another illustra tion of the solidity of the walls of ani advancing lava -stream, we may mention an adventure re lated by Recupero, who, in 1766, had ascended a small hill formed of ancient volcanic matter, to behold the slow and gradual approach of a fiery current, two miles and a-half broad ; when sud denly two small threads of liquid matter issuing from a crevice detached themselves from the main stream, and ran rapidly towards the hill. Ile and his guide had just time to escape, whet? they saw the hill, which was fifty feet in height, surrounded, and in a quarter of an hour melted down into the burning mass, so as to flow on with it. But it must not be supposed that this complete fusion of rocky matter coming in con tact with lava is of universal, or even common occurrence. On the site of Morripiliere, one of the towns overflowed in the great eruptiOn above described, an excavation was made in 1704 ; and by immense labour the workmen reached, at the depth of thirty-five feet, the gate of the principal church, where there were three statues, held in high veneration. One of these, together with a bell, some money, and other articles, were ex tracted in a good state of preservation from be math a great arch formed by the lava. It seems very extraordinary that any: works of art, not -en cased with tuff, like those Ilerculaneum, should have escaped fusion in hollow spaces left open in this lava-current, which was so hot at Catania eight years after it entered the town, that it was impossible to hold the hand in some of the crevices.--4.ye/ts Geology. • The new road, which commences at St. Jail's wood Chapel, in the parish of kit.
