Tht• officer informed the master that, if he attempted to neat this port, he should make a prize of his vessel. Arrived off Port! end, the Meta, Gackin, and Grea Britain, Swinburn, from Quebec, at Liverpool ; Eliza Woodhall, from Smyrna ; SiriWalter Scott, from Quebec. at Greenock; Martha, Sweetland, from Newfoundland, al Dublin ; Thomas, Robinson, and General Douglas, Smith, FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. I from Quebec. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL prayed the judgment of the Court on the above named defendan►, who had pleaded guilty at the last Carlisle Assizes to an indictment charging him with having published in a periodical called the Citi zen, of which he was the proprietor, a false and scandalous libel, reflecting upon the character of Sir Moetyn Briscoe, Bart. The defendant appeared on the floor of the Court and put in some very long affidavits, in which he stated that he had travelled SOO miles to receive the judgment of the Court ; that since the libel was published his wife had died, and he had in consequence became greatly di.tressed; that he was so very poor that if the Court ordered him to pay a fine, it would amount to perpetual imprisonment, and if he was imprisoned it would be the . complete ruin of himself and family. The affidavits then went on to state that the Citizen was a small uustainprd paper, of a very limited eireulation—that the libel was inserted without any malicious feeling towards Sir M. Briscoe— that it was a communication sent to the defendant's office, and bearing the signature of " C. It."—that he did not know, nor could be ascertain, who was the author, and that he was not indemnified for costs of any legal pro ceedings—that he had published sub'equently a notice, calling on the author to come forward and avow himself as such, or otherwise he (the defendant) declared he would give up the manuscript copy to Sir Mostyn Briscoe ; but, instead of hie so doing, another • letter Was received signed as before. "C. R." refusing to give up his name, the dtfeedant in consequence looked for the letter for the purpose of handing it over to the prosecutor, but that he was unable to find it, and after using every pos sible exertion to find out the anther he had not succeeded. He therefore published an apology, in which be expressed his unfeigned sorrow and regret that lie should have given circulation to anything calculated to wound or injure the feelings of Sir M. Briscoe, and that he was willing in any way possible to make reparation for the error that he had fallen into. He further declared, that he did not publish the libel from any hatred or malice towards Sir M. Briscoe, and he therefore hoped, that an apology synth be a much better satisfaction, and satisfy justice better, than abutting him up in a prison. The ATTORNEY.G6NERA I. having left the Court, Mr. DMZ shortly addressed their Lordships in aggra vation. The Learned Counsel said the libel was of that nature, and so well calculated to injure the feelings of Sir M. Briscoe, that it would have been impossible for that gentleman to have passed it over in silence. The defen dant had put in an affidavit, stating that he had made an apology, but be (Mr. Erle) would read to their Lordships other libels subsequently published by him, reflecting upon the character of the prosecutor. The Learned Counsel was about to read from the Citizen, when Lord TEPTERDEN interposed, and said it was impossible the Court could bear any thing from a publication, when there was no affidavit to show that the defendant was at all connected with that publication. Mr. ERLE regretted that the Attorney-General had left the Court, as it war probable th a t he h a d an affidavit. In the absence, however, of such a document, he would not occupy their Lwrdships' time with any further remarks, but leave it to the Court to pronounce such a judgment as would protect Sir M. Briscoe from any further attacks by the defendant. The defendant .said• that be had no Counsel, and that he did not wish to make any observations himself ; but trusted entirely to the merciful consideration of the Court Mr. Justice J. Mime pronourited the judgment of the Court. His Lordship said it was no excuse for the de. fondant to publish an anonymotte libel, and afterwards to say that be was not aware whet was its author. No one who read the article could for a moment doubt but that it was a libel, and it was the duty of the Court to take care that such publications did not go unpunished. It was true that the defendant had published an apology but it was not an apology at all calculated to soothe the feelings of Sir M. Briscoe. written as it was with so much flippancy. The Court could nut listen to the statement of the defendant being too poor to pay a fine, or that itnprisonment would he ruin, as it had a duty to perform, and protect individuals from such injurious at tacks. It therefore adjudged that the defendant be impri soned in Carlisle gaol for the space of sir week►, and, at the expiration of that time to enter into his own recogni zance of 40/., and find two sureties of 20/. each, fur his good behaviour for one year. The defendant was then removed in custody. THE KING V. HUTCHINSON AND OTHERS. The Arroxwxv-Gstaaa 1. prayed the judgment of the Court nn Henry Hutchinson, George Stewart, and John Harris, who were convicted at the last Northumberland Assizes of assaulting a revenue officer whilst in the execu tion of his duty. The COURT sentenced Hutchinson and Stewart to nine months', and Harris to six months', imprisonment in Morpeth goal. THE XING V. 11ALT AND OTHERS. Mr. Entat prayed the judgment of the Court on John Malt, Joseph Sharpe, and Thomas Hodgson, who had been convicted at the Sittings at Guildhall, before Lord Tenterden, of a conspiracy to defraud. The COURT sentenced Malt and Sharp to twelve months' imprisonment in Newgate, and Hodgson to one month's imprisonment in the Marshalaea. CRIMINAL INFORMATION.--.THE KING It. GARDINER. The ATTORNEY•GRNERAL moved for a rule • to show cause why a criniinal information should not be filed against - Gardiner, a surgeon, residing in Wiltshire. It appeared from the affidavits that were read, that Mr. Gat diner was the parish surgeon, and was sent for to at tend a poor woman in her illness, From some cause or another, however, his conduct did not give satisfaction, and it was made the subject of a conversation at a public vestry. _ At the vestry a Mr. Basket made some observa- tion;which gave offence to .Ir. Gardiner, and the latter M consequence sent a letter to the former challenging him to fight a duel. It was this letter which gave rise to the present application. The Couwr granted a rule to show rause. No less than thirty Peers, seven Baronets, and 260 gentlemen of other ranks, in Ireland, have sub peribed to the " Declaration" against all attempts to agi tate the question of the repeal of the Union. DRURY-LANE Tli E A RE.---Last night, a new piece, intitled the Veaeran and Ma Dag, was pro duced at this theatre. It is a snoryeau of French sena. mentality, in which, as in the Dap of Monlargis, a canine performer is the soul of the denouement. The audience was very well satisfied, and, with the exception of a few hisses, received the announcement of its repetition with applause. The dog was a handsome one, of the New foundland breed. CONSISTENT CONTRADICTION.---011 the night after his arrival at the Abbey, the waiting-woman of Mrs. BYRON, in passing the door of the room where the corpse lay ► heard the sound of some one sighing heavily within, and on entering found his Lordship sitting in the dark beside the bed. She remonstrated with him for so giving way to grief, When he burst into teats, and ex claimed, " I had but one friend in the world, and she gone." Of the fervency of his sorrow I do therefore think there can he no doubt; the very endeavour which he made to conceal it by indifference, was a proof of its depth and anguish, though he hazarded the strictures of the world by the indecorum of his conduct on the occa sion of the funeral. Having declined to follow the re mains himself, he stood looking from the hall-door at the procession, till the whole bad moved away; and then, turning to one of the servants, the only person left, he desired him to fetch the sparring gloves, and proceeded with him to his usual exercise. But the seen 9 was preasive, and spoke eloquently of a grieved heart;--he sparred in silence all the time, and the servant thought that he hit harder than was his habits at last lie suddenly flung away the gloves and retired to his own room,— Galt's Life of Byron.

CHICHESTER AND ITS NEIGHBOURHOOD. (r•crrat OUR e11101E,4"—: rORRkSPONDENT. WEDNES 0.5 V EVENING, NO V. 17. This city and neighbourhood have been in a state of great excitement and alarm to-day, in conse quence of the inerease of those unequivocal demon strations of discontent amongst the labouring classes which have of late been observable throughout this Fart of the kingdom. This was the beast and corn market day, and the influx of farmers and others from the country was, as mind, very great ; but it was remarked that there were many douhtful-look ing men wandering about the Market-place, who were utter strangers, and who appeared to have no business to transact. This excited some feeling of suspicion, which was increased by the intelligence that two bodies of men, each amounting to about 300, were assembled, the one at Pagham and the other near Goodwood. Upon receipt of this infor mation the Magistrates met in consultation, anal thf regular business of the day ceased. The 'Magis trates having determined to go out and meet the malcontents, fifty of the gentlemen of the city and farmers were sworn in as special constables, and proceeded, headed, by Lord George Lennox and George Farhill, Esq., to the pl►ce where they were assembled near Goodwood. On coming up with the men the Magistrates addressed them, and upon an assurance that if they would depute a few from their body to wait upon the Bench, their communications should be attended to, succeeded in ' prevailing upon them to disperse quietly. By similar means the assemblage at Pagham was also dispersed. All now is quiet and ordefly here. Most of the gentlemen's houses in the neighbourhood were visited last night by small parties, who demanded provisions or money, and the alarm was incessant during the night. A burn full of corn, the property of Mr. Thomas Amoor, at Angmering, near Arundel, was last night burned down ; and, in short, this district is in II very alarming state. FAREHAM. Extract of a letter from our Correspondent at Fureharn, dated Nov. 17 " Plament to inform you that the diabolical acts df in cendiaries are spreading themselves in this neighbourhood. Last night some stacks at Wallington, near this town, were burnt ; and the alarm amongst all persons who have any property of that kind, is excessively great." DREADFUL INUNDATION AT MANCHESTER. (FROM OUR MANCHESTER CORRESPONDENT.) WEDNESDAY MORNING, EMIT o'cLocr. Many thousand aorta of meadow land have been laid under water, and property to an enormous amount has been destroyed. On Monday evening last the rain fell in torrents, and during the succeeding night there was a storm, such as Gas not been expel ienced in this part of the kingdom for upwards of 50 years. Till twelve o'clock yesterday the rain continued, and apprehensions were justly entertained of serious results. In the afternoon of yesterday the river Irwell rose up wards of 40 feet beyond its usual level. Many hundreds of acres of land in the vicinity of Broughton were laid under water, and in one field no less than eleven cow* were drowned. Towards four o'clock the river !meil presented an awful scene. The wrecks of houses, cottages, bleaching works, &c. were seen floating down the tide. Upwards of 100 large casks, of about 4.0 gallons measurement each, passed through the arches of the various bridges in this town, announcing the destruction of the large print-works and dye-houses of Messrs. Ramsbottom, near Bury. Towards' Warrington, the effects of the storm were ter rible. The coaches from that town were detained for se veral hours, the road being inundated. It is impossible to form a correct estimate of the loss sustained through this appalling flood, but it must cer tainly exceed 100,0001. You will receive further particulars to-morrow. RYE. Extract of a letter from our Correspondent a Rye, dated Nov. 17 You are pretty well aware of the extraordinary trans. actions of last week, in this place. Our Rev. Borough. monger himself is becoming alarmed for the Way of him. self and property. • I suppose he is conscious that there is a screw loose, and is therefore on his guard, being seldom seen, except at night once or twice.

But as fur this man's property, it is nut, I am convinced, in the slightest danger !" PROPHETS IN YORKSHIRE. (FROM OUR SIIRFFIELD CORRESTONMMT.) During the last fortnight excitement and curiosity have pre aile d in Sheffield, in consequence o f t h e arr i va l and exhibition of two individuals, under the cognomen of Shiloh and Elias. Their first appearance was on Sunday week, in the Riding Establishment in Eyre -street. The place was crowded to excess, although, from the motley appearanee of the audience, it was evident that the majo rity were drawn together from mere curiosity. Shiloh commenced by reading his authority for appearing before the assembly—namely. a licence from the Archbishop o f York to frorship God in that place; and those who offered any disturbance or violence were liable to be punished. In this "new order" there is no singing or prayer at the commencement. The Bible was opened, a chapter se lected (t h e e x 2 which the two alternately pre p3odutoldf.haiEt, who seems to be Shiloh's bull dog, stated that it was probable some of them had seen a ptragraph in the Papers. saying their objeet was more of a political than a rtliyious character, and dennlncing them as spies and incendiaries ; but they were not—they were the especial inspired servants qf God ! His friend on his right was " the Christ," who alone could explain the Scriptures. Popes, Bishops, Priests, and 111inivacts of every denomination, were thieves, nacre, murderers, sod adulterers. During this disgusting harangue frequent interruptions took place, when Elias, with the most con • ruminate coolness and impudence, exclaimed, " Take no tice, toy friends, and you will observe that those who are most loud in their opposition are either professors of reli gion or some of the black-coated gentry themselves. They are afraid of their trade, as the time is coming ( the latter day) when ptiestcraft will be abolished for ever." Elias continued, amidst the most vehement shouts—" This place is licensed ; we will not be interrupted ; and if there is a constable present who will seize the disturbers, we will stand between him and the law." They were allowed to go on a little while longer, when they concluded by say ing, that any person wishing to ask them questions would have an opportunity, at their lodgings, Carver -street, but in Mat place they would not. The assemblage in the afternoon was more numerous, a great proportion of wham were boys and young men, who had provided themselves with crackers, &e., evidently with the intent of creating a row, which continued the whole of the time, although Shiloh and Elias exhibited the most determined confidence, repeatedly emleaVOuting to proceed. Oa Sunday last the drama was resumed in the presence of a still more crowded audience, and, if any thing, still more disgraceful. One person, who interrupted Shiloh's ravings, was quickly shouldered out into the street, where a regular " Bet-to" took place between the oonstattilos and the people, to tLe total overthrow of the former, and the alarm of the neighbourhood. After quietness had been re stored, Elias, with the utmost gravity, assured the people that " Shiloh was the anointed of God, and had Iteen sent to reign Kin over all men." Th ere was no hell but is there own consciences ; and if there were a place in the skies to go to after death, the balloon gentry would have found it out long ago. It was, however, too absurd to give credence to ; and to show that we are not alone of this opinion, we will adduce the fact, that those who can it, deposit their relatives in soldered lead erns, from whence it 1* imposeible to esca p a therefore the folly and absurdity o f hiaat as " resurrection" and <, regions 9,1 Was." " Aye," says an old fool behind us, ways th'ought so," It appeared from what Elias said to-ziak that many had availed themselvee of the inv;tailoa to meet awl question them, o much so th a t h e considerably qua lified the term,. 1 ' It was," he said, "of no use ignorant or illiterate persons troubling them ; for the future !hese seeking suchan interview . mus t be profeseed : Va C her i of the Dible- ! -;thrWtin g hl y acquainted with its contents. " A WW I, here cried out, " 1 Will stud, an one do ?" " No," ftli o l " he is only a fit companion for a gibbet." In the afternoon the 'woe was one continued uproar, during which the churchwardens came in, and ordete4 , . . " Pro Ohets" down. Elias, who seems to be Shiloh's bottle liolder, gave them a look of nowt Sovereign contempt. , %thlrem-ing one, he ['aid, " Sir,---If 3ott do not know your duty, it is high time you did. Co and tell your master, I ant your master's master." The noise continuing they were forced to give in, and soon after retired. We have made some inquiry in to the character and history cl Shiloh and Elias : they were formerly shoemakers, and are now living upon the credulity of the public. 'I his is the fifth year of Shiloh's reign ; but where he has been all that time we could not learn. They are neat and genteeley fretmed, seeming neither to want food nor clothes. How or by what means these are procured is a mystery, as there is no money taken at the door; and, from the ap pearance of their followers, we should think them very. unable to keep the " Prophets" in idleness. At one time Shiloh had something to du to maintain his gravity : we fancied we saw the laugh ready to burst front his lips when Elias was agsuring the gaping crowd, that that was " the Christ" before them, who alone understood the Scriptures ! MASTERS.--ROYAL NAVY. TO TUE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. Stn,--I beg leave to offer to your notice some remarks on the neglected state of Master a in the Royal Navy, where merit and services are generally acknowledged, but who have been far from meeting with that encouragement and protection the highly important ditties of their station give them a jest claim to. The duty of Master in the Navy is both constant and arduous, he not only navigates the ship, but bears a very conspicuous part in battle, has charge of Boatswain end Carpenters stores, and all others in the holds, signs the Purser's accounts, .hip's books, &c. &c„ and he is also ac countable for ships of war when lost or stranded, and is always tried for such loss, and in general censured or punished in some way or other, as being held responsible for ships and crews, when all other officers I emain unim peached; and in fact, with propriety, it may be said, that the trust vested in the Master is greater than any other officer in the Navy, Captain and Admiral excepted ; yet this officer is degraded in rank, and placed under te..tric tions totally different to all other officer. in the British navy, having to undergo roue or MORE strict examina tions to qualify him for the highest rate of pay and half pay, all of which must take place in London, at a very considerable expence, when the Midshipman by ONE simple examination is made a Lieutenant, a Commander, a Captain, and an Admiral, and is entitled to pay and half-pay by seniority in EACH of these ranks, ach cum stance which must appear strange that the Master should be thus perplexed with these severs! expensive examinations, when the Midshipman by ONE passed examination should be qualified fur an Admiral By some it is deemed very necessary, by this mode, to keep Masters stationary, because they are useful to young and unexperienced Commanders and Captains, the very reason in my opinion which en titles them to superior rank with pay and half-pay by seniority. I therefore should propose the incorporation of Masters with Lieutenants, committing the duties of the former, as now established, to the Second Lieutenant of the ship, or making them common to all except in time of action, when they should devolve on the Second Lieutenant. I am certain that we should, if that was the case, have many more thorough-bred seamenandjirst-rate navigators than we have, as every officer must then depend on him self and his own nautical knowledge, without having the Master to consult ; or to allow them, after six years' ser vice in the navy, to become eligible to obtain the rank of Commander whenever they had distinguished themselves. or their services had merited ouch promotion. With such encouragement there would be no difficulty in getting a sufficient number of men, of the.first information and experience, to serve as Masters in the navy, which could not be obtained during the lust war and unless they are men amply rewarded by the country, that difficulty will ever exist, as may be seen by the present Navy List, where there are more than THREE Captains, including Commanders, to ONE Master, the former being in number ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-SIX, and the latter wily Ilya HUNDKED AND TWENTT.SIX,, which most be considered a very great disparity when each ship of war in commission requites a Captain, a Commander, and a Master, which evidently shows that those officers do not meet with that encouragement they merit, other wise they would not stand much the smallest in number of any other officers on the Navy List, It has long been the opinion of many dirt:nguished characters in the Navy that 11Iaters were men of great trust, possessing superior nautical skill , and ought to be allowed regular promotion, instead of being thus degraded. 1, therefore, approve of requesting you to insert this letter instead of addtessing myself at once to the First Lord of the Admiralty, in the hope of its attracting the attention of many besides, who may lodge of the merits of the case, and yield mental benefit to the naval service, and of course to the nation al large, by due regard to its contents. I ant, Sir, A FRIEND TO NAVAL MERIT, November 15, 1850. MEDICAL EDUCATION. TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. SlR,—Another verdict of Manslaughter hart teen pro. nounced by a Coronet's Juty ag find that successful im postor, John St. John Long. That uptight body of men has fearlessly performed its duty, and all England will wait with intense anxiety, the result of his trial, and his consequent sentence. Will the sentence again be a nominal one? Will this wholesale destroyer of his Majesty's subjects be again fined the sum of 2504, as the price of another le:low crecure's life? (This is a method of advertising quite new in this country, and one which bids fair to become very general as it is both an expeditious and chap way of obtaining celebrity.) We shall next hear that St. John Long makes it a rule to put by the earuingu of one day out of every week, as a sinking fund, to be appropriated to the purpose of purchasing fresh notoriity at the death of every subsequent patient ! lleaveo forbid that such a state of things be allowed to continue. Four patients have been sacrificed at the shrine of in fatuated imposture within the short apace of three months ! Thank Out they have been of that class of beings which The San of Friday calls "Persons possessed of more money than brains." If the public cannot be aroused to a sense of billow, for permitting the existence of pretenders to medical skill, by encouraging them, the profession must nut akimbo', and quietly submit to be I tughed at by a rice of tit. john Longs. They ought at once, and in one tasty, to petition the Legislature for redress; and there is no doubt hut that a proper appeal will be listened to with that serious at tention which the subject so richly merits. There cannot be a hotter time than the present fur giving the de.►th blow to quackery. I propose, Mr. Editor, that the following be submitted to the consideration of your readers ; and . I hope that some one (whose time and talents are not fully occupied) will rake the subject up, end that, ere long, we shell have the pleasure of saying, in reference to a year or two peat, " There were quacks in those times." I think, if she following proposition were adopted it would tilietually arrest empiricism, viz.:--" That every ttarsan who is in practice at present, or who shall Uereafier practlee th e profession of Medicine or Surgery, be obliged to pass au examination at olio of the Colleges in the kingdom inatis toted fin , that purpose." They who have already letsite.i through one or more ordeals of that kind, AO who have, in consequen c e, b ee n admitted 1111014k4,11 of the various College., will not, perhaps, be otiligad to go through them again; if co, they will cheerfully submit; and, having once been Annul cotapetent to undertake the responsibility of their profesakm, they will, of course, enjoy the Rood satisfaction of having acquired additional vt aiit, On the other hand there are, many, very wady, who have not been enrolled members of any College (a ride. through some of the iashionable watering-phicca in Kent, for will furnish many a hitneasatd e ex . ample),; anti although a few of them may he considered c•iaier, the public ought to he told who are competent to take charge of the greatest of who are nut. Surely ivy proposition is not a very hard one. They whew abilities will curry them through an eutuinatiou will be admitted with pleasure to the soeieSy and rank of the reepectable part of th e professinai and they who can not pass that ordeal AN Sorely very unfit persons tc, le entrusted with qv ; liaaVy and awful reiponuiluilitg a a practitionv ti medicine or surgery. Till attar ail act as ON he passed I would advise every pew* entering a It'eth neighbourhood —a waterilv-plave, fur example.— to consult a list published yeArty by the 'Royal College of Surgeons in LonAc i a„ sod they will soon find to whose , care they cc„u eunfide the health and liv es o f themselves,r sn families. A " College List" should be kept at every library or reading.room, for public i,wuatuiptn. As persons can only reflect upon li ‘ ql;asialves (if, after having perused a " List of %aeons," they employ a man whoa name they do uncut with in that list), they will only have thewselves to blame in the event of neglect, or want of a ill ; which, sooner or later, they are sure to finol w men , w h o ,„ cation often commeneet woukhoute, or a brick-field, end ends in a prisna ; us will some day be the ruse Saint ,lei o Lang or his followers. While I 1111 Oil the subject ' it yvir i t wit tg, don what, I believe, is not generally knoWn, viz., that although a penmen, not a menther of any of the Colleges. may icceive an apprentice, and hie fee (his education it ! quite out nf the questinn), that apprentice cannot, legally, be uthuitted to an examination, even at Apothecaries'. hall. So, suppose a master, like St. John .Long, has his name published in the daily Papers for the manslaughter of such en one, hi. apprentice (who may have left Ilia service Iwo years previously, and have passed that time at time Hospitals, &e.,) will be told, upon presetting hint.elf fur examination—" Your master is not an educated man, his name is not in our list, &c. ; and we cannot admit you to be examined until you have served five years more, with one who has pursued a regular educetiou." I ant aware they do often pass, but these circumstances are not, at the time, known to the examiners. 1, myself, knew it case the other day, where a young man mirumgell to f i r,t through his examination at the Hall ; and a week after wards his late master (a man 20 years older then him. self, and of 14 years standing as an empiric !) requested him to show him how to perform one of the minnr opera. dons in surgery. These timings, Mr. Editor, must not he tolerated. I would also remind a parent that he should not always be satisfied that his son was kept at bar./ work behind the counter tinting his apprenticeship : that is not neressary; and it will only be insisted upon where the master is twm superficially educated to sit down occasionally for an hour with his pupil, and answer those questions which natu rally present themselves to an inquitiug mind. Ido not mean to say that an apprentice is not to make up the me dicines fur his master's patient., and to du every thing that his psoiesaion may require to be dene; hut I maintain, that many an intelligent young tm.n has ter minated his apprenticeship, without knowing any' thing of his profession; from the absence of information in these painters and lieutenants, who have crept into the prohataion, and with whom it has been tin it lot (un fortunately for them) to have been obliged to live. With many apoloeire for the length of ail letter, I rola tin A AIEMBER OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE'. OF SURGEONS. Nov. 16, IRSO. THE GRAND DUKE, (From the BrigAton Qat,:U.) Iti 1827 the Duke of Wellington supported th e Coin Hill in in; early stages, but by a dexterous amendment in a subsequent stage threw out the Ilill.—lrs 182 e, ' when Pr;rne Minister, he brought in anti carried a Corn Hi 1 similar in substance to the !till he had thrown out the pre ceding &ashy. In 1827 he said, " I know that I Uri disqualified for • being placed at the head of the Government, and I should hav e been mad, and worse than mad, it I li.l ever enter tained the insane pt eject ;" yet in 1828 be accepted the flirt of Prime Minister. Up to 1828, inclusive, the Duke had been the open, avowed, and active opposer of Catholic Emancipation, anti in the 'minuter and autumn of that year he held nut no prospect to ft lends or enemies of any relaxation of hia op. position ; on the contrary, lie bullied Lord Anglevea for favouring such an idea ; and in 1829 he mad. Catholic. Emancipation a Government measure. In 1880 he expressee a resolution not to listen to any measure proposed fur Putliattuntary Reform, and thereby excites opprobrium against him throughout the United Kingdom ; and if he had not gone out %Vr should have had him veering round, and probably been himself the p•rson to propose such a measure, rather than resign the other of Autocrat. Field Marshal—he a Soldier, and nothing vise !! ! THE MONEY MARKET. (From the Morning lierahl City iteri c i e .) 'There hat been little or no exeiement in the city tn.day l'Wedneaday)--e proof that the change of Ministry is ooked upon with satisfaction, Or at any rate with inddli.c. ence. There are, of course, numerous rumours as to the person. who will form the new Administration. Some of the Evening Papers tell us that Earl Grey hat undertaken to snake out a list for the approval of his Majesty. This, we are informed, is not the care. Hie Majesty, it is al leged, sent for Earl Grey, and altered hint the Premier ship, but that his Lordship, considering himself too ad vanced in years to fill so important an office, respectfully declined the appointment. The Sun rays that Earl Grey, on declining the Wended offer, advised his Majesty to send for Earl Spencer, It is said in the city that something of this kind has occured, and it is inferred by some persons that, as Earl Spencer, is also an aged man, that there is a probability Of his son Lord Althorp, being the Premier. Far our part, we think it highly probable Lord Altharp will be iu the new (alines, but very unlikely that he widetat Premier. Tere are many persons who say--and they are by no means h ill-informed, that She Doktrof Ritshmand and the Earl of Wineldlsest will (urns 11` pan of the thew Administration. This *pinion is laughod.at thd Libe rals, who assert that they are bigoted Tories, and. quite unfit for the wisdom of the present Itittuta, As for their bigotry, we believe they have given en evidence of such fueling, except voting against Catholic Emancipation may be considered as a proof of it. It should be recollected that they have both declared themselves friends of reform and retrenchment, and that they are Noblemen of very con siderable abilities, and of the best private characters—no mean qualifications for Ministers of State. In addition to the preceding rumours, it is said 614 Sir Robert Peel will probably retain his office. We need scarcely say that this rumour is not believed. There is another report that Lord Lyndhurst will retain the office of Lord Charreellor ; and, so far as we have had an opportunity al judging, nublio Opinion appears to be decidedly favourable to such an arrangement. The daove is a specimen of the rumenr* and speculations in the city ; hut, at we have intimated before, people take much less interest in the change of Mi nistry, now that the thing is actually atutounceil, than might have boar ex; eeted.
