They mention that the Deputies of the Legislative Council of the Principality of Neufchatel have been received at Berlin in the most favourable manner, and have received an assurance from the King's Ministers, offi cially as well as privately, that his MAJESTY will never forsake them, for that the preservation of the principality is a thing in which his heart and honour are alike interested. The same papers mention also that the Allgenzeine lei lung of October 2, contains a long and detailed statement of the composition and strength of the Germanic Confederation. The Spanish Papers give official particulars respecting the death of FERDINAND, and the im mediate assumption of the Regency by the QUEEN, hut contain no additional intelligence. We see it announced that Lord ALTHORP'S early return to town has been occasioned by the associations which have been formed in the metropolis to resist the payment of the assessed taxes. We should be much grieved to find that the mistaken men concerned in them have been able to give his Lordship any serious uneasiness, for we are persuaded that they will never succeed in inducing any large body of the community to f o llow their example. There is too much sound sense among the middle classes, especially of the metropolis, to take up this Irish mode of settling a question of finance. Had they adopted it be- fore the Reform Bill had given them a voice in the Legislature, there might have been more plausible grounds urged in defence of the passive resistmce system of the Unionists. The house and window taxes must be repealed next session ; their forming part and parcel of the system by which the proprietors of land have endeavoured to throw all the burdens of the state upon the inhabitants of towns, is sufficient to condemn them. We grant that they are in principle taxes on property ; but the complaint always urged b moderate and sensible people The sport at the ensuing Epsom October Meeting is expected to be unusually good, under the spi. rited management of Baron de Tessier, the acting Steward. The races take place on Wednesday and Thursday next. OLYMPIC.--Last night there was a distur bance at this theatre in consequence of the absence of Madame Vestris, who was prevented, by illness, from un dertaking her p ar t i n t h e per f ormances . Mr. Vining attempted in vain to allay the storm, by exhibiting the certificate of a doctor, in proof that the excuse was not a mere pretext. Even Liston, with all his popularity, attempted to subdue the ill-temper of the house by his drollery without success. No apology and no person would be listened to. The police tried their hand at a pacification also, but they were not more successful than the performers ; for though they succeeded in removing a few noisy people from the gallery, the elements of uproar still remained. Miss Pincott was the substitute for Madame Vestris, and she endeavored to read the part, leaving out the music. But all would not do. The Prima Donna was absent, and her admirers would not he per suaded that she was ill. It was finally arranged that those might quit the theatre who pleased without fort: icing their money, and many were about to avail themselves of the understanding, when they found that they could only get orders of admission for another night, it being con trary to theatrical etiquette to return money upon any occasion. Here was a new cause for discontent and clamour. In short the whole evening was devoted to dis cord, which, by a sort of tunic, converted actors into au ditors, anti auditors into actors, front the moment that the fact of the heroine's absence became known. At eight o'clock on Monday morning an im mense concourse of persons assembled in the Market-place to witness a trial of skill in the sword exercise between 20 members of the Malineshury troop and 20 of the Devizes troop. The challenge, we understand, was given by one of the officers of the Malnnsbury troop, against the whole regiment ; and accepted, w'thout the slightest hesitation, by Mr. T. Estcourt, the Cornet of the Devizes troop. The result has proved that Mr. Estcourt had good grounds for his confidence in the skill of his men. The Maims - bury troop first per ormed their exercise, and, it is but justice to state, in a very creditable manner. The regula rity and precision, however, of the Devizes troop, left them far, very far behind ; and the umpire was not a moment in awarding his decision. The Cornet of each troop went through the exercise with the men. There was a bet depending which Mr. Estcourt very handsomely presented to the members of the troop engaged in the trial.— Devizes Gazette. INCENDIARISAI AT BASINGSTOKE.—WC deeply regret. that it has again fallen to our lot to record two diabolical acts of ineendiarism in this neighbourhood. On Tuesday night last, about ten o'clock, the farming stock on Apsley Farm, near the Earl of Portsmouth's seat, Hurstbourn Park, was discovered to be on fire. In a short time the whole of the stock and outbuildings was consumed, with the exception of one barn and the dwel ling-house. The loss is supposed to amount to 3,0001. The farm is Lord Portsmouth's property, and occupied by his tenant, Mr. Wood. A man on whom suspicion has fallen is in custody, and we sincerely trust the author of the act may be discover e d. O n F r id ay night Ls ' , a very large oat-rick, the property of Mr. Dii ker, of Bentwortb, was totally d estroyed by fire. This was also the act of an incendiary, and a large reward is offered for the discovery of the critninal.--Berkshire Chronicle. S DAY AT ONK O'CLOCK. PrticEs OF STOCKS Till Bank Stce K pe , Cent.

The We,tnzinster Review, in its notice of " Wade's History of the Middle and Working Classes," says incidentally upon this subject : "An ignorant selfishness still predominates to a la mentable extent; and the result of it is short-sighted policy. Some remarkable proofs have been given of this since the passing of the Reform Bill, among which it is only necessary to mention the cry for the repeal of the a.•sessed taxes. This measure, so loudly called for by the shopkeeper class, and for which the working classes have been prevailed upon to join in petitioning, has not even the redeeming merit of affording permanent relief to the parties who seek it. The relief would be of comparatively short duration to them ; and other interests and persons would ultimately reap the advantage. In those trades in which situation was an object, the landlord would be the ultimate gainer ; and in those in which situation was not an object, as expenses would be reduced, prices would als'a be reduced by competition." _ . No doubt, in many cases, the landlord would be the immediate gainer by the repeal of the house and window taxes, and, ultimately, per haps the only gainer. We verily believe with the Westminster Reviewer, that it is in " igno rant selfishness" that many have petitioned for their repeal. In ignorance, also, but not in selfish ness, for they can for the most part only reap loss, is the present system of passive resistance raised by the London tradespeople. We must deny, however, the conclusion at which the Reviewer would seem to arrive, that they are fit ►axes to be continued. As direct taxes they are in principle good, but as partial taxes they are bad. It is as partial, and, there fore, as unjust taxes, that we have con tended for their repeal. It is because they are a part of the system on which the corn law is established, that their repeal has been urged by the friends of the people. That some may have joined in the cry against them, thinking to pocket the difference between their present household outgoings, and what they would be minus the King's taxes, is, we again admit, true ; but that has nothing to do with the question of the justice of placing all property on an equal footing. By this justice Lord ALTHORP should feel himself bound, no less than by his promise given last Session. Upon the latter, we feel in clined to rely, and would advise the asso ciations to rely also. The course to be pursued by the Government towards them is plain ; it is one of coercion, for were their plans to succeed, no taxes whatever could be raised. Our contem porary, the Spectator, gives the people the same warning, with a conditional warning to the Go vernment. Last Sunday he says— " Unquestionably, the proceedings we speak of miy give the Government some trouble ; hut passive resistance, in order to be effectual, must be very general ; and we perceive no ground for believing that tax-payers generally will unite in this virtual opposition to the law. But then, the Government must take effectual means fur compelling payment from the recusants, or the resistance will become general. It would he quite as unjust in the Executive to permit the Lambeth grocers to smuggle sugar with im punity, to the manifest detriment of their brethren in the trade residing in other parts of the town, as it would be to suffer the threatened resistance to the payment of the Assessed Taxes to become effectual." MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. THE KING, ON THE PROSECUTION OF FRANCIS DUODALE ASTLEY, ESQ., AGAINST HENRY PALMER AND OTHERS, ON A CHARGE OF FELONY. Sift,-In your report of Saturday, under the title " Middlesex Sessions," Mr. Gordon, of Upper Seymour street West, is described as a person implicated in this case, and as a witness keeping out of the way to avoid being served with a subpoena. I am requested to inform you that this assertion is utterly false, Mr. Gordon having no concern, nor being in any stay connected, with any of the parties included in the above indictment. I likewise beg to state that Mr. Gordon has not bee❑ kept out of the way, nor has he ever been from home for the purpese, as alleged, of evading service of a subpoena, or any other legal process. The above report appearing in your widely-circulated journal, may be of serious injury to Mr. Gordon ; I shall therefore esteem it a favour if you will insert this contra. diction in to-morrow's paper. I arm, Sir, your humble servant, R. S. HAD WEN, Solicitor for Mr. Gordon. 42, Salisbury-square, Oct 7. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) J. S. Nunn, a coach proprietor, was summoned by Byers the informer, for allowing his coach to obstruct the street. Dingley, the informer's witness, deposed that on the 27th of September he saw the stage-coach No. 3,218, standing for twenty minutes opposite a booking.ofEce, without a driver being near it, or any one to mind the horses. During that time it took up neither passengers nor luggage. The summons was laid under the 7th of Gen. IV. chap, 77. The defence was that as it was opposite the hooking office, no offence was committed in standing for that space of time, though some one ought to have been there to guard the horses. Sir F. Rox, after consulting with Mr. Halls, said the magistrates of that office were now determined that the rule for the stopping of stage coaches at the booking offices should be, for a two horse coach ten minutes, and for a four horse one a quarter of an hour ; that, he thought, would allow sufficient time for taking up luggage and passengers, as well as for putting them down. If they stopped longer they must he fined. As that was Mr. Nunn's first conviction, and as it was done under a mistake, he would only fine him 20s. for leaving the horses unguarded. Mr. Cloud, the omnibus proprietor, was summoned for that, on the 30th September, his omnibus, No. 2072, stopped for five minutes opposite Northumber land-house, at Charing cross, during which time it neither took up nor put down any passenger. Mr. Humphreys attended for the defendant, and ob jected to the form of the summons. It charged the offence as having been committed in that part of the town under the control or management of the Commissioners for Paving Regent's-park. That was a rnisdescription ; it ought to have been the Commissioners of his Majesty's Woods and Forests and Land Revenues. The objection was held fatal, and the summons dis missed. A great many more were dismissed upon the same ground. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S. DEAL, OCT. 7.—Wind E., moderate.—Arrived from the river and remains the Manlius, for Lisbon.

We have no arrivals as yet from any quarter; not even a ship letter has come to hand ; consequently we are ex ceedingly dull in the City for want of intelligence, parti cularly from Portugal and Spain, which is expected to be of some importance. By the French mail this morning, the papers, speak ing of the projects of Don Carlos, aided by the assistance of General Bourmont, to obtain the Crown of that king dom, state, that the army of Spain, and most of the Captains-General who command in the provinces, are de voted to the cause of the Queen ; and, besides, there is no doubt that an attempt to a civil war will draw o❑ them the attention of France and her armies, and assure us that orders have been despatched from the Minister of War, to send off some regiments towards the Pyrenees, as well as from the south of France, as is is of the highest importance to France to watch the move ments and events which are on the eve of taking place in Spain. The Army of the Pyrenees is to be composed of two corps—one near Bayonne, and the zither at Perpignan, with the reserve at Toulouse. THE FUNDS. The Funds still continue heavy.

We do not apprehend any movement of consequence until after the funeral of Ferdinand, for which preparations were making at Madrid, by the statement of the second teleeraphic despatch received at Bayonne. Nevertheless, Don Carl.,B is on the alert, and has proceeded to the fron tiers of Spain, no doubt to give instructions for the com mencement of his taking the field ; therefore, in a few days, we may expect news of most important events from that quarter.

A letter from Prague of the 20ih of Septem ber states that the number of French lately arrived in that city was so great that it was with difficulty they could find lodgings.

COVENT-GARDEN TITEATRE. Last night was the first of the season at this theatre. The house in consequence was crowded at an early hour, though it was not so full as was Drury-lane on Saturday. A few alterations have been made, which greatly add to the beauty of the interior. As usual, on the drawing up of the curtain, God save the King was sung by the whole vocal establishment, and received with the usual applause. Miss TAYLOR then came forward and delivered the same address that was spoken on Saturday at Drury lane, and we were glad to perceive that she had corn pletely got rid of her affectation. The first piece was SHERIDAN'S well-known play of Pizarro, in which two competitors for public favour made their firs• appearance ; a Miss PLACIDE, from the American boards, and a Mr. KING, from Dublin. And, fit st, of th. lady. She undertook the boisterous character of Elvis and acquitted herself with sufficient skill and judgment to prove that she has had much stage practice. In fi4ure she is enbonpoint ; not unlike PASTA, though a little taller ; with a graceful, erect carriage, impressive action, and tolerably good voice. The audience received her favourably, but she must he seen in some better part before a decisive opinion can be formed on her merits. From first to last, Elvira is all rant an•l mouthing, and requires little more than a violent exertion of physical energy. Sheridan, we believe, meant the character to be an intellectual one, but he erred wide of his mark. It is in the worst style of melodrame. Of Mr. KING'S Rolla we can speak in terms of praise. If it was not first rate, it wa:, at least, above mediocrity. This gentleman is tall, slender, and apparently young, and like most young actors in a melo-dramatic character, too fond of throwing himself into, what he fancies are, pic turesque attitudes. In his eagerness to display his figure-- which, by the bye, has not yet attained its full maturity— Mr. KING was once or twice nearly thrown off his ba lance. Indeed, throughout his performance, he swayed dangerously from the perpendicular. This is a defect which he will, no doubt ; correct. The earlier scenes of his Rolla went off tamely and heavily ; but as the part deepened in interest, the actor's energies rose with it, and produced a decidedly favourable effect on the audience. His death scene was impressive, and his address to the retreating Peruvians, characterised by fire and energy. We have little doubt he will prove an acquisition to the establish. ment when he shall have learnt that valuable art—to husband his powers. At the close of the play he was unanimously called for by the house. Miss PHrterers' Cora, and Mr. Coorka's Alonzo, were both excellent pieces of acting; but they are so well known, that to en large on their merits is superfluous. The play was fol lowed by a clever farce entitled Hy Neighbour's Wife, which was remarkably well acted by Miss TAYLOR, Messrs. 13ARTLEY, COOPER, and MEADOWS, and kept the audience in an incessant shout of laughter. It was, as usual, a translation from the French, by Mr. RODWELL. The evening's entertainments were closed by GARRICK ' S dramatic romance of Cymon, which was got up in mag• nificent style, and in which the vocal characters were admirably sustained by MissTArLoa, Miss SHIRREFF, and Mies INVERARITY. Throughout the night the audience were in high good-humour. It is stated that Prince Taileyrand has lef Paris for his magnificent chateau at Valencay. This noble residence was the place selected for tile imprison men! of King Ferdinand in 1808, and Don Carlos end Don Francisco de Paula, his two brothers, together with then uncle Don Antonio, where they continued for six yews, The arch-diplomatist is stated to have solicited the honour of having that mansion fixed upon as the prison of sucl, illustrious personages. It is almost needless to add tha the mansion at that period resmbled more a fortress than the present chateau de plaisir. At the French Embassy in Hanover-square yeQterday, no preparations were making to receive Prince Tdlleyrand, who, it was retorted, had quitted Paris unex pectedly for London on Thursday night, in cons, qaenci of the telegraphic desp itch from Bayonne announcing thi decease of the King of Spain. Those of his Excellency'• establishment who remain at the Embassy state that the Prince may return at the end of the month. The Russian Ambassador and Princess Lieven entertained a distinguished party the day before yesrerda) at dinner at Ashburnham•house. There were present Lord Palmerston, Lord Melbourne, Lo d and Lady Cowper, Countess of Jersey, M. Baceurt, M. Dedel, &c. Prince and Princess Lieven left Ashburnham house yesterday for their villa at Richmond. Earl and Countess Cowper are expected to leave town to morrow for the Continent. The Countess of Sandwich arrived yesterday at her residence in Dover-street from Newnham Pak, for the purpose of being present at the marriage of Earl de Grey's daughter. Her Ladyship afterwards left town on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Bedford at Wooburn Abbey. The Duke of Wellington, it is understood, will remain a fortnight longer at \Valmer Castle, with the party now on a visit to his Grace. In consequence of numerous applications, received by the Duke, he has deemed it necessary, it is said, to prevent trouble and further importunities, to have a lithographic letter pre pared announcing that "be holds no communication with the Irish Government." The Marquis of Anglesea left town yesterday for Dover, with his family and their physician, Sir James Murray, on their way to Paris, Lyons, Nice, to winter at Rome. HANOVER, OCT. 1.--The determination of his Majesty the King, with respect to the proposals of the States, concerning the fund imentsl law of the king dom, was received this day by the Ministry, together with the royal rescript, dated the 26th of September.— Hanoversche Zeitung. Lord Ernest Bruce and Major Baring, of the Ist Life Guards, are gone to Marlborough, where they will be present at a grand dinner to be given to them, as representatives of the borough in Parliament, by the electors. The entertainment takes place to-day, at the Castle Inn. LORD GREY'S COUSINS IN GAOL.—On Monday last an omnibus was observed to stop at the door of our county gaol, and two persons were conveyed into the prison. Every one was on the gui rive, in conse quence of a report that the individuals had been committed for poaching, and were cousins to Lord Grey. It seems they have bee❑ rambling about the country on a sporting expedition, and with but one license between them. Se veral cases were substantiated against them before the Magistrates at Daventry, and they were committed. There is something very mysterious in this affair. All that we can say is, that we have (very reason to believe that the relationship in question is one create d by mar riage. We conclude the prisoners will be speedily re leased.—Northampton Herald, (an Ultra-Tory Paper). Within three miles of the Post-office, news papers and letters are received at the twopenny receiving houses until five every day, without any postage extra being charged. It is rumoured (but we do not vouch for the accuracy of the report) that their Maje,ties contem plate sojourning three or four days at St James' Pilace, previously to their visit to the Pavilion at Brighton; in which case, it is added, their Majesties will visit each of the patent theatres. A gentleman in this neighbourhood has now in his possession two horses and two ponies, whose united ages exceed 80 years, and three of them are in constant work.— Cambridge Chronicle, Last week a woman of the name of Kinsman was publicly sold by her husband, in the market place, Okehampton. She was put up at 2 d. , and, after some spirited bidding, knocked down to a man named Furse, for 3,6 d., the purchaser receiving back 6d. for luck !--Both Chronicle. THE DUCHESS OF BERRY.—General Der moncourt gives the following sketch of this Lady I— " Marie Caroline, like all Neapolitan girls, has received scarcely any education. Witb her all is nature and in• stinct. She is a creature of impulse ; the exigencies of etiquette are insupportable to her, and she is ignorant of the very forms of the world. She allows her feelings to carry her away, without attempting to restriin them ; and when arty one has inspired her with confidence, she yields to it without restriction. She is capable of sup • porting the greatest fatigue, and encountering the most appalling danger, with the patience and courage of a soldier. The least contradiction exasperates her—then ;,er naturally pale cheeks become flushed ; she screams, and jumps about, and threatens, and wee,,s, by turf's, like a spoiled child ; and then again, Lke a chid, the moment you give way to her, and appear to do what she desires, she smiles, is instantly appeased, and offers you , er hand. Contrary to the general nature of Prances, she feels erafi_ tude, and is never ashamed to own it. Moreover, hatred is foreign. to her nature ; no gall ever tinged her heart, even, against those who nave dune her the most injury. Whoever sees her fur an hour becomes 1%7E11 acquainted with her character; whoever sees her for a whole day be- : comes acquaint e d wi t h a ll t h e qualit i es of her heart." ;PIPIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The diplomatic note pr,sented to the Confer ence on the 28th ult., and read a few days ago by General Goblet in the Belgi c Chambere, shows more than any previous manoeuvre of the Cabinet of the Hague, its shuffling policy and its artful duplicity. It is generally known that t'or the last three months considerable activity had prevailed in the Belgic negotiations, and it was expected that they would soon be brought to a sati , factory conclusion. After discussing the same points for three years, and after having consigned an agreement upon them to a tre dy with the chief P owers of Europe for about two, it did not, of course, excite any surprise, that when the suspended deliberations of the Con ference were resumed, they would proceed ra eidly to a dose. The territorial question was .onsidered as already settled, because previous to the capture of Antwerp the articles of the treaty of November, 1831, relative to that part of the arrangement, had met with no opposition on the part of Holland. An idle misunderstand ing, however, which was studiously brought forward, opened again even this part of the settlement. For that portion of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg which was to be ceded to Belgium the King of Holland, as its Grand Duke, was to receive an indemnity in the Belgic province of Limburg. The artful Dutchman then raised the question, or rather required the Conference to solve the question pre viously raised, whether the indemnity in Lim burg was to be conferred upon him in his qua lity of King of H o ll an d, or as G ran d D u k e o f Luxemburg. Th e C on f erence , i t wou ld appear, decided that the kingdom of Holland should have the benefit of this accession to its territory. It then became the duty of his Dutch Majesty to procure the assent of the very august persons who compose the Diet at Frankfort, and of the collateral branches of his own family, to this arrangement, he, as Grand Duke of Luxem burg, being both a member of the Germanic Confederation, and a representative of the Ger man Nassau, in exchange for whose German possessions it was alleged that the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg had been conferred upon him. This, of course, was a mere piece of " fudge'' from beginning to end, as the Germanic Diet could have no objection to a nominal change in t! - .e ter ritories of one of its confederates, effected with the concurrence of all the great Powers which had originally converted the Belgic province into a German Grand Duchy, and as the German aAnates of the Dutch family had neverbeen consulted when the original arrangement was made at Vienna, or when in 1816 or 1817 his Dutch Majesty in. corporated Luxemburg with the kingdom of the Netherlands, by fixing the indemnity of the younger branch of his family, entitled to the German inheritance, on the revenues of territorial property in Holland. The pretended necessity, however, of procuring the consent of these par ties to the arrangement, was a sufficient excuse tOr a further delay, and, accordingly, the Con terence proceeded with the other articles or mo difications of the treaty to allow his Dutch Ma jesty time to go through the farce. Without the same number of protocols as formerly, or without the same profusion of diplomatic cor respondence, most of the remaining articles of he treaty were examined and adopted by the Dutch and Belgic Plenipotentiaries. The latter then, together with the members of the Con ference, began to inquire what steps his Dutch Majesty was taking to procure the superfluous consent of the august parties in Germany, whose interests were about as much involved in the affair as in the late treaty between the Grand Seignor and the Pacha of Egypt. The answer was, that no advance had yet been made to these oarties, and that none would be made, till cer tain other points in dispute were settled to the , atisfaction of his Dutch Majesty. The Cabinet of the Hague, upon this, neglected to send instructions to its Plenipotentiaries to settle the minor points in dispute, so as to be able to engage in the pretended negotiations with the German Diet, and refused to engage in the latter till the former were conceded. Thus the affair of Luxemburg, which in the earlier part of the proceedings was not dreamt of as. an obstacle, has been adroitly employed to give checkmate to all further progress of the diplo matic game ; and th us are t h e operat i ons of the Conference susp en d e d during the good pl easure of the old pl o tt er at the Hagu e . Are the Dutch, who desire peace with all the world, and who are more anxious to be finally separated Irom the Belgians, on equitable terms, than the Belgians are from them, such dolts as not to see the ambitious and anti-national projects of their Sovereign, and his fixed resolution to sacrifice their interests to the aggrandizement of his family, so long as the chapter of accidents permits him to contemplate the re -conquest of the Belgic provinces, and the restoration of their ill-starred union ? Are they such fools as not to perceive that the people of Holland are the greatest sufferers ?—that, by compelling their King to accept of the modified treaty of No vember, 1831, they would be put in possession of a large territory, and participate in an exten sive trade, from which they are now exclude.' ? It must now appear evident, even to the dullest native of Holland, that their Sovereign is keep. ing up a numerously expensive army for no purpose of theirs, and that nothine- can induce him to abandon his projects of foreign conquest, but the menace of internal disturbance.— Times. The Treasury writer who was so unfortunate as to revive the subject of the annexation of the stall in Westtninster Abbey to the see of Here ford, for the benefit of Lora Grey's brother, does not seem very well pleased at the light which we have thrown upon that exalted example of Whig purity and disinterestedness as to the disposal of Church patronage.
