A RUNAWAY WA RD•ORDE V. ORDE.7 -••- • Mr. RUSSELL appeared on behalf of a Mr. Murray. upon a petition presented by him in this matter, to pray that his Lordship would be pleased to refer it to the Master, to inquire into Miss Orde's (now Mrs. Murray) fortune, and to approve of a proper proposal of settlement. The facts were these :—Miss Orde had finished her edu• ration. was eighteen years of age, and went to reside with Captain and Mrs. Calton, at Ramsgate, Mrs. Calton being her sister. Mr. Murray met her there ; an acquaintance took place, which ripened into an attachment. He courted her in the house of her sister, and in the face of the world. He wrote to Mr. Orde, in Scotland, the testamentary guardian, and also the guardian appointed by the Court, requesting his sanc tion to their marriage. Mr. Orde refused to consent to the marriage. The hero, however, nothing daunted, prevailed on the young lady to consent to marriage. They were married by banns, and off they started immediately for France. This was in the and of May last. Mr. M. had no property of his own ; his mother had the absolute controul of a considerable fortune, out of which she allowed him three hundred pounds a year. On hearing of the marriage, and of the honey-moon excursion, the guardian presented a petition to his Lordship, stating the circum stances, upon which the Court issued an order calling on the parties to appear. They had not appeared ; they were now in Brussels ; they had not been served with the order. By the order, all payment out of the lady's fortune was stopped. Mr. M. now came voluntarily forward with the present petition, undertaking, by his Counsel at the bar, to consent to any settlement which might he deemed proper by the Court. It did not appear that he was ignorant that the lady was a ward at the time he ran off with her, but the inference from the letter he wrote to Mr. Orde was, that he did not think it was necessary to apply to the Court on the subject. Mr. ELLISON was Counsel for Mr. Orde, and did not oppose the reference. His client had his own reasons for objecting to the marriage in the first instance, but he was now desirous rather than otherwise that the reference to the Master should take place, and he thought that the sooner the settlement was made the better. The LORD CHANCELLOR, under the circumstances, and after hearing what the Learned Counsel for the guardian had stated, consented to refer it to the Master to enquire into the nature of the fortune of the lady, the circutn stances of Mr. Murray, and what would be a proper settlement. He could not however discharge the order that bad been made in June, calling for the personal appearance of the parties, and therefore it was neces• sary for Mr. M. to appear in Court to purge his contempt. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. We are pleased, but by ..0 means surprised, to learn that the attraction of AUBER'S Opera of Gustavus in creases nightly. We hear, indeed, on good authority, that during the last week it has drawn no less than 2,500/. ! It is singular that the representation of this popular piece was attempted to be stopped at Paris, but Government was too wise to listen to the proposition of the Swedish Ambassador on the subject for an instant. We hear it rumoured that the new farce underlined at Drury lone Theatre is forbidden to be acted, because it is taken from the Camardo de Lit, which the Swedish Ambas sador also endeavoured to get stopped at Paris, but, as in the instance of Gustavus, was unable to do so.

This took place on the 11th, and after a short resistance on the part of Don Miguel's troops, about 60 mills were destroyed. No other operation of any consequence bas taken place. TIIE FUNDS. The accounts from Spain and Portugal, received this morning, ate rather of interest, although nothing of a decisive nature has taken place ; but they prepare us for som e important blow, on the eve of taking place in the north of Spain.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. London, 44, Chancery-line, Nov. 23, 1833. bra,—l have read in the public papers the letters ad dressed to me in Ireland, the proceedings at a public meeting in Dublin, and the comments on my speech to the Electors of Hull. If any Member of Parliament addresses nae a private letter on the subject, I consider him en titled to an immediate reply, and he will receive from me : 11 explicit answer whether he is or not the individual I referred to on that occasion. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, M. D. HILL. The opposition and prejudice manifested Wass the London and Westminster Bank on its first an. 40 tineement, by parties apprehending injurious consequences from the establishment of a public bank in London, appear to have gradually subsided, as the principles and advantages ° l . joint.stock banks have been investigated and developed. We are informed that the Committee will be able to com keuce business in January. In fact they have purchased 44 eligible house in Regent-street, opposite to their present t tolporary office, for one of their branches. A paragraph has been going the round of the Pill: o cm stating that Sir Edward Parry is expected " very portly to arrive from New South Wales." This announce tent is premature. The earliest period at which Sir Edward can be expected is about the autumn of 1834. ' l e has already been absent from England nearly four years tod a half, and will have been four, not " three" years in „ . / ( ew South Wales, in the beginning of December next. Ile was engaged as Commissioner for four years, at 2,0001. 11 0t.1,0001. per annum, as erroneously stated. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, Nov. 21. *--Ve have had an extremely flat market to-day, notwith 4tOuding sales are to the extent of 3,000 hales. Prices are, : 54 the whole, a shade lower, viz., 1,000 Albamas 8 d. ; 50 0.Peenams 9J. to 9td. ; 700 Orleans 10d. to 101 d. ; 35 0 Babies Bd. to Sid. ; and 300 new Boweds at Bp. IMPORTANT AUCTlON.—Yesterday after boo4 at the Mart in the city, was disposed of by public "ale the following valuable, extensive, and highly. l ibportant property, comprising the Blaensvon Iron and coal Mina, a concern of the very first magnitude, within I tht miles of Abergavenny, South Wales, extending under 'heat 12,000 acres of land, containing veins of iron -stone, 'tat, and lime-stone, with fine blast furnice, steam-engines, a buts' houses, workmen's houses, &c., held leasehold of o t he Earl of Abergavenny for 63 years from 1806, at 8 i2251. per annum, and a further rent charge of 501. on 44 .loilling land, which, deducting certai n rece ivable rents, 'Ports a nominal rent on 9,640 acres of 1,4801.

NE EZEAT REGNO.BRENAN V. EOM'S. Mr. DIxoN moved for a writ of ne ereat regno to issue against the defendant, a pawnbroker, in St. Mary Axe, and beer-shop-keeper in Poplar. The plaintiff was the executor of the late Mr. Murphy, who carried on the busi ness of pawnbroker in St. Mary Axe. Mr. Murphy ap plied to the defendant for a loan of 500/. The defendant advanced it upon an agreement that he was to be paid five per cent. upon the sum, and also guaranteed the Payment of another debt due from Mr. Murphy upon condition of having half the share of the profits of the business. Mr. Murphy conducted the business ; some time ago he was incapacitated from continuing to do so from illness, and the defendant went into it for the purpose of managing it ; Mr. Murphy died a week or two ago, leaving the defendant in the exclusive possession of the entire business, books, and property. Mr. Murphy died in debt ; before his death he had expressed great dissatisfaction of the conduct of the defendant in the business. The defendant had refused to give up possession of the books, pro perty, or trade, although an indemnity had been offered to him to any amount that he might show himself entitled to from the effects of the defendant. He had removed 500/. worth of plate from the premises in St. Mary Axe to his beer shop at Poplar. He had declared he was prepared for law—his mind was made up for mischief, and if the plaintiff should proceed to legal proceeding, he (the defendant) would convert everything in his possession, both in St. Mary Axe and at Poplar, into money, and then cross the Atlantic ; that be was free, and would as soon go to America, or even to Botany Bay, as continue to remain in this country. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the writ to issue, and to be indorsed for 1,0001., with liberty to the defend ant to move, if he should think proper, before the Vice- Chancellor, to have the writ discharged. IN RE SUITORS. Mr. BEAMS supported a petition from the Master of the Report Office, the Registrars and Clerks i❑ the Re gistrar's Office, which prayed that the Court would order proportions of their salaries to be paid to theist from the 29 . 6 of September, when their appointments ceased under the old Act, and the 26th of the present month, when the new Act came into operation. He hoped his Lord ship would have no difficulty in complying with the prayer. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL'did not oppose the allowance. The Loan CHANCELLOR would look at the Acts. He was not sure that he had the power to order the allow nce, but ir he ima va., ►hp netitioners would not be left r etnediless, becau,e they would be entitiea to .to nder the compensation clause of the Act. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) PRIVY COUNCIL BILL.-PRACTICE OF THE COURT. Mr. PEMBERTON wished to ask a question of his Honour, which was of considerable importance to Counsel who practised in this Court—whether it was his Honour's intention still to attend the Privy Council. Under the operation of the new Act a sitting had been amp dnted for Tuesday ; briefs had been offered to Counsel? end it was necessary to know his Honour's determination in order that they might know how they should act in the matter. _ . Hi, HONOIIR said he should not sit at the Privy Council on Tuesday. The late Act of Parliament coming into operation, and all the East India appeals being ap pointed to he beard there, the businesa of the Privy Council would be very much multiplied; but it was not intended that its sittings should interfere with the sitting, of this Court, except upon very special occasions. On such occasions, when anything of particular importance called for his (the Master's) attendance, the Lord Chancellor had agreed to give him notice, and the Bar should be made acquainted with it. Perhaps the Bar was not ac quainted with the great extent to which the business of the Privy Council would be augmented by the new Act of Parliament. It not only directed that all the Indian ap peals should be proceeded with there, but it also gave power to hear those appeals which formerly had been heard by Delegates and the Court of Admiralty. It would be a very different Court from what it had formerly been ; and he feared it might interfere with the business of this and other Courts. There were, however, additional Judges, appointed PrivyCouncillors, and added to the list, in order to prevent, as much as possible, the business of the other Courts from being interrupted. The Masxtrti of the ROLLS will hear short causes and petitions on Monday next, and take first such as are un opposed. His Honour will finish the petitions that may be left on Tuesday, at the Rolla, Chancery-lane, after swearing in the solicitors—on which day he will not sit till eleven o'clock. His Honour will then adjourn till Monday week. VICE-CHANCERY CO LJRT.-(THIS DAY.) His HONOUR proceeded with short causes to-day, none of which possessed any points of the least public interest. The petition in Wilson's Charity was ordered to stand over in consequence of the absence of the Attorney. General. The petition, it will be recollected, relates to a charity under the management of the Lord Mayor and other members of the Corporatio❑ of the city of London, for assisting young men newly set up in business with loans of money, not less than 1001., and not exceeding 3001. • • - KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The LOAD Claim JUSTICE, this morning, gave judg ment in several cases of ejectment, in none of which was there anything of public interest. THE KING V. 111.00 K. The defendant had been convicted upon an indictment at the instance of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, and was to have been brought up for judgment this term. Mr. TUESSIGER, this morning, stated that the defendant was dangerously ill in N ew g ate, wher e he had been con fined for five months , and it would be im possible for him to be brought up this ter m. He, therefore, w ith t h e consent of the Counsel for the prosecution, wished the Court to pass judgment in the defendant's absence. The COURT refused to take the case now, as other business pressed, and directed it to stand over. nEntinscom v. FRREBROTHER. This case came on again to-day, on an application for a new trial, and is likely to occupy the Court a consider. ble time. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) NEW POINT Or PRACTICE. In our yesterday's impression we omitted, in conse quence of being:unable to catch the title, to notice a ease, - ..k_. the decision of which is of some importance to the pro •ession "and to the public at large; and, being the first decision of the kind under the New Uniformity of Process Act, is not generally known. An action had lately been brouelt against an attorney and an unprivileged person jointly, and they both had been arrested upon a writ of capias. Before the above mentioned Act passed, an attorney subjecting himself to be sued jointly with an unprivileged person, lost his pri vilege, and might have been arrested upon a vailable cause of action ; and the reason thereof was, that the two de. fendants could only be brought into court upon the same process, it being irregular to issue a writ against the layman, and to file a bill against the attorney; but the Court, in the present instance, decided that an attorney did not now (under similar circumstances) lose his privi lege, inasmuch as under the above-mentioned Act a capias may issue against both parties, upon which the unpri vileged person may be arrested, and a copy of the writ only served on the attorney; which would have the effect of bringing both parties into court, and is now, therefora, the proper course of proceeding. RAMAGE V. AGSHEAD.-20WEN V RAMARE. Mr. IlmilAßDs, on behalf of the plaintiff in the last suit, had obtained a rule to show c 'use why the defendant should not pay over to him a sum of ill., being the sum in Court paid in by the Sheriff, the sum levied by him in the former action, the costs of that action, the costs of the subsequent action, and the costs of that application. Mr. Sergeant TALTOURD appeared for the defendant , and said he did not mean to oppose any part of the rule except that of it which called upon him to pay the costs of that application. It appeared th it the Sheriff of , Staffordshire levied in the former action on the 25th a February ; the levy was disputed at 11 o'clock, on the ground that Bowen had got an assignment of the goods before the levy. The Sheriff paid the money into Court under the Interpleader Act, and made the plaintiff in the former action the defendant in place of himself. It now appeared that the plaintiffwas right and the other partywrong but in conseruence of the working of the Interpleader Act, the costs were now enormous, and he trusted that under all the circumstances, his client would be relieved from the costs of the application, for he would not have appeared had not the rule called him before the Court, by asking for these costs. Mr. RICHARD* was about to support the Rule, but the Court decided that the rule should be made absolute, except as to the costs of the application. The Rule had been too largely drawn, upon the ground that though the party was entitled to all the other costs he had no right to force the other party now to appear, by calling for the costs of that application. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.-(THIS DAY.) (In Equity before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) EX TARTE ROSS AND WIFE. The defendants in this case were brought up upon a writ of habeas corpus, in order to show cause why they refused or neglected to put in their answer to a hill filed against them. They were brought up from Whitecross-street Prison, and appeared to have reached the lowest depth of poverty. They said that while in prison they met with an attorney, who promised that he would put in their answer for them in the course of six weeks; that time expired, but they never saw him again, and they were now too poor to have other professional advice. They were ordered to be recommitted, but, by the advice of Mr. H. Twiss, Ross asked to have an attorney assigned to him by the Court. His LORDSHIP doubted whether he had the power to do so or not, but on the Acts of Parliament relative to the case being laid before him, he ordered a reference to the Master to see whether the defendants were as poor as stated, they to be committed to the Fleet in the meantime, end to be again brought up when the report was made, and if the Master found it was so, he would then assign them an attorney. COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAY). (Sittings in Banco.) LALAM V. OVER. Me. Sergeant ANDREWS in the early part of the term obtained a rule to show cause why the bail bond should not be delivered up to he cancelled. The defendant had been arrested for a sum of 701. and upwards due for principal and interest upon a bill of exchange; bail was put in ; and the ground on which the motion was made for a rule to show cause why the bond should not be delivered up to be cancelled, was, that the balance of principal due was not sufficient in amount to warrant the arrest, and that the interest charged, which together with the principal remaining unpaid, was charged upon prin cipal that had been received. Mr. Sergeant \Vans showed cause against the rule. The COURT made the rule absolute for cancelling the bail bond, on the ground that, under the circumstances of the case, it was impo.sible to determine whether the ba lance due of the principal sum, 1001., was not less than would justify an arrest, the difference being made up of interest. The affidavit of debt did not set forth the date of the last payment ; nor did it distinguish the balance of EXCISE COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Before the Commissioners the Hon. Wm. Percy, the Hon. B. Paget, and Sir John slortlock. Thomas Front, whose case was adjourned from last Saturday, to allow him time to call witnesses for the defence was convicted of the common offence of keeping a privat e still, in a house in which he lived in Oxford Arm :Passage, Newgate-street, for the illicit manufacture of wines and spirits. The Court convicted him in the mitigated pe nalty of 501. He was again indicted with alias of David Sadler, for the like offence with a woman with whom he cohabited at a house in Fleet-lane, and the same penalty was awarded. - - INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT. The Matters of the Petitions and Schedules of the Prisoners hereinafter named (the same having been filed in the Court), are appointed to he heard at the Court House, in Portugal Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, on FRIDAY, the 29th November, 1833, at 9 o'clock in the Forenoon.

GAS.—In consequence of the expected com petition in the price of lighting with gas, a considerable reduction in the charge made for stipplyiog it has already, in many districts, taken place. In the parish of St. Mary lebone there is now a project, which will be soon carried into effect, for the parish to erect its own gasometers to light the streets and supply the inhabitants, by which it is expected there will be a saving of 30 per cent. LITERATURE. UNCLE PHILLIPS CONVERSATION WITH CHILDREN. T. AND T. TEaa, LONDON, 1834. We like the matter and manner of this little volume exceedingly. It is one of the best children's books we have met with since the days when the two Edgeworths (father and daughter) did not think it beneath them to write works of instruction and amusement f o r the benefit of a generation, long since grown up to man's estate, and which, by the bye, is the very one that has just wrested Reform from the hands of an oligarchy. Old Edgeworth (who we believe was a Tory) little thought that this, among others equally important, would be the result of his efforts to expand the intellects of the youngsters of his time. The old gentleman would have been horror struck at such a consummation—at the idea of having been, no matter how indirectly, an accessary before the fact, to the murder of boroughmongery. The volume before us, though not equal to Edgeworth's " Parent's Assistant," or " Tales for Children," is yet full of instructive novelties, told in that simple, easy winning manner which is sure to take with young people. Uncle Phillips tells all his anec dotes about " birds, beasts, and fishes" with a smile on his face, and a buoyancy in his manner, as if his own young days were come back again. His mind sits on the same stool with his school boy readers. He is no Dominie—no austere superior, but addresses them as their equal and schoolfellow. His Introductory Letter is very conciliatory and juvenile. In his preface to parents he says, " in my simple view, Christianity is a very quiet and gentle thing, which eschews strife, and promotes prac tical goodness." Uncle Phillip is here unduly modest. For " simple view," he should substi tute " comprehensive view," for in one little unobtrusive sentence he has given us the whole essence of Christianity, as we find it summed up in the Sermon on the Mount. The book is in the form of conversations, and the chapter of contents of each of these reads as amusingly as the titles to the chapters of Rabelais. All our young readers must make haste and get ac quainted with Uncle Philip. They will find him a very talkative, obliging, juvenile old gentleman. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

MORE SEIZURES FOR ASSESSED TAXES.- Yesterday the :Jtficers of the Sheriffs of Middlesex pro ceeded to the house of Mr. Hutchinson, of Gray's Inn lane, the Secretary to the Association, in St. Andrew's Holborn, for the assessed taxes, and made a seizure for arrears of assessed taxes. The goods were carried away without any opposition, some of the neighbours merely expressing their dissatisfaction by groans. Similar seizures were afterwards made at the houses of Mr. Lovick, plumber, and Mr. White, surgeon, both of Red Lion street, Holborn, who are directors of the poor of the united parishes of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, and who convened a meeting on Monday la,t to take into consideration the situation of thirteen of the parishioners, against whom Exchequer writs were out for bwh t h yae e drDeb n ae o vem n ins - a p rfac a onr . t m eitdch e i pen into ite o aod f i nt t ah h une e pd op house orb Dr. White. and window duties.

EXETER---FATAL ACCIDENT.--About 11 o'clock on the night of Saturday last, Mr. B. Creswell, of Rock's-lane, in this city, returned to his house, when he found his wife had retired to rest. He had been troubled with asthma for some years, and it is supposed opened and placed himself at the window for the sake of air. Of course precisely how occasioned can never now be known, but out of this window he fell into the court lage, fracturing his scull so severely that the brain protru ded, and his death must have been instantaneous. About five the following morning his wife awoke, and missing him became alarmed ; she provided herself with a light, and coining from the bedroom into that her husband had last been in, the open and broken window led her to fear the worst, and in the courtlage, as before mentioned, his dead body was found.—Sherborne Journal. COMMITTAL Or A MINOR.—In the Court of Chancery yesterday, the Lord Chancellor directed that a g entleman who h a d recent l y marr i e d a war d in the Chancery, and who would not be of age for three years, to be imprisoned for contempt of Court. The gentleman's name, we have heard, is Thetwood. A similar judgment was pronounced against the young lady and the witnesses to the marriage —Dublin Morning Register. CHOLERA.—During the past week several deaths have taken place in this city, according to public rumour and the opinion of some medical men, from Asiatic cholera ; but almost all the cases have occurred in persons of enfeebled constitutions, or in necessitous circumstances, and less alarm is felt than formerly at the suspected pre sence of this mysterious visiter. The general state of health in this city is by no means worse than is usual at this autumnal season. An air of burlesque has been thrown over the whole affair by a paper war between the doctors and the butchers as to the digestible qualities of " brawn" and " boar sausage.".—Kent Herald. BRIGHTON, Nor. 22. Yesterday afternoon his Majesty, accompanied by Lady Sophie Sidney, drove out as far as Rottingdean. The Queen took her favourite exercise on horseback, accompanied by Lady L.

How.-ver, the receipts must have been considerable. Mrs. Ricardo will give a grand ball this evening, at her residence in Marine-square. The Baron and Baroness Dimsdale purpose giving a series of splendid ente►tainments here during the present season. The late hurdle race having caused so much amusement to the fashionable world here, has induced its promo.ers to get up another, which comes off on the 20th of next month. There are already tea subscribers at 5/. each ; one mile and three quarters, over the new course ; each horse to carry 12 stone, to be rode by gentlemen, and to be the property of gentlemen ; to start at the winning post, taking three hurdles going out, and three coming home: any horse following in tbe gap another horse may have made to be considered distanced ; heats. The Earl of Errol and the Earl of Uxbridge act as stewards. Much sport is anticipated. Their Majesties continue to enjoy excellent health. COURT CIRCULAR.

MR. D. W. HARVEY AND THE BAR.— The Benchers of the Inner Temple met on Tuesday even ing last, by appointment, to hear Mr. Harvey's renewed application to be called to the bar. At seven o'clock the Masters, among whom were Sir J. Scarlett, Sir G. Rose, Sir E. Sugden, and Sir C. Wetherell, assembled in the library, for the purpose of hearing Mr. Sergeant Wilde o❑ behalf of Mr. Harvey. No other persons were admitted to the room, except Mr. Harvey, his solicitor, a shorthand writer for Mr. Harvey, another for the Masters, and the witnesses, as they were severally required to give testi mony. Mr. Sergeant Wilde, having opened the case of his client, proceeded to call witnesses to vindicate his pro fessional character from imputations which hail been cast upon it by the refusal of the Benchers to admit him to the liar. At half-past ten o'cl ick thi! heating was adjourned, and resumed on Wednesday evening. Other witnesses were examined, and Mr. Harvey himself entered into ex planations, and replied to various questions put to him by some of the Masters. Sbortly after ten the hearing was again adjourned to this evening (Friday), at a quarter after seven o'clock. It is expected that the case will occupy more than one more evening. We need scarcely add, the proceedings excite the deepest interest i❑ the county of Essex, and also among the legal profession generally...._ Chelmsford Chronicle. FINE WRITING.--We copy the following unique specimin of fine writing, from the " Private Correspondence" of a morning contemporary. The com parison of the " demon of despotism" with a " wounded Titan" and an "exoculated Cyclop" is a glorious touch of the sublime. It has also the merit of originality—n rare qualification in this age of common-place :—" In Spain as well as in Portugal the demon of despotism and priestcraft seems to be on the point of being for ever overthrown, and reels already to and fro like a wounded Titan. Staggering about with the unsteady strides of an agonised and exoculated Cyclop it succumbs under the baby blows of infant Liberty, which, on the principle of iteration, only can finish its gigantic but worn-out anti• gonist, unab'e to accomplish this glorious task by giving him the coup- de. grace." DEWSBURY.—The blanket trade here is very flat, and there seems to be little hopes of i•B recovery fur some time.—. Wakefield Journal, SPIRIT OF TIIE PUBLIC JOURNALS In the conduct of the German States within the last eight or ten days we find subjects for ave remark, if not for serious apprehension. The Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt has dis mised Legislative Ch a mbers, with strong expressions nsofhis dissatisfaction at their resist ance to the censorship of the press, and at their objections to the interference of the Diet in the internal affairs of the duchy. In \Virtemberg the Ministry has been defeated in its appeal to the popular branch of the States, and has been obliged to close the session by a solemn petition to the King to abolish the censorship, and to maintain the rights of his people against the encroachments of his despotic confederates. And in the Grand Duchy of Baden, the States con secrated their last sitting to the adoption of an address, in which they set before his Royal Highness the Grand Duke the dangers with which European tranquillity is threatened by the resistance of the governing party to popular rights,—the injustice of the Princes of Gerrnat.y in delaying the constitutional improvements which they promised to their subjects at the end of the war,—the unjustifiable pretensions of the Diet in limiting the freedom of the press,— and the probability that a dreadful reaction will take place, if the will of the people is not speedily consulted, or their grievances redressed. This assembly even adverts in its address to the inauspicious reign of Charles X. in France, and hints at a catastrophe like his from an imitation of the measures which he pursued. Here we have the representatives of more than 3,000.000 enlightened Germans courageously corning forward with the expres sion of their opinion in favour of an extended liberty, and particularly in support of that in strument of all intellec , ual and political improve ; ment—the freedom of the press. Nor is the feeling thus expressed likely to be evanescent or transitory ; it has already animated the deli:nes of several sessions—it has presided at several elections—it has inspired several changes of deputies—it has acquired strength from resist ance, and it has become more vigorous as the States were dispersed to their homes among their fellow-citizens. In this catalogue of re monstrants we do not find included the Legis lature of Bavaria, which, though not now sitting, partakes the sentiments of ha liberal confederates; but we find in the German papers a decree of the Bavarian King, which shows how little he is capable of learning anything from the events passing around him. At the very time that popular changes are demanded, more alarming than the " eclipse which formerly perplexed monarchs," he seems to he thinking only of an inverse mode of exalting his legal dignity, by degrading his subjects, as the follow ing paragraph will show " On the 7th inst. an ordinance was published here founded on a Ministerial rescript of October 29. The first article of this ordinance forbids all carriages, me matter to whom they belong, and all riders on horseback, to pass carriages in which th it Majesties are ; and, when the King is on horseback, it is forbidden to pass or remain before him. The second article orders all carriages and horsemen who may meet their Majesties to draw up immediately, and halt till they have passed by." In Germany there is in general no lack of respect or reverence to persons of rank, or to persons in office. There is rather, on the contrary, a too profuse or prodigal expenditure of tokens of regard, and of observances of ce remony. It is not likely, therefore, that t crowned head should be the only exception, or that his Bavarian Majesty has been denied the usual courtesy with which he was formerly received by his subjects, and consequently it can scarcely be supposed that there could be any necessity for issuing a Royal ordinance to enforce customary civility. The regulation is thus likely to be entirely new, and cettainly does not appear a happy omen of a sincere constitutional reign. The present period is nut exactly the time for trying humiliating experiments in Court etiquette. From the Royal pedant,who was formerly a Liberal, and who still is vain of his liberal verses, better things might have been expected. One would be tempted to believe that the throne of Greece had changed his temper and his intellect more than those of his less ex perienced son. Such an extravagant piece of folly could scarcely have occurred to any consti tutional Monarch, not a candidate for Bedlam. Who shall enforce the ordinance thus promul gated without the form of law ?—and what penalty shall be awarded for its transgression ? —are questions which must occur to everybody, and the solution of which (according as the ex periment is successful or the contrary) must show the absolute weakness or the positive tyranny of the Government. The most insane and un worthy despots have always been the most severe exacters of personal homage. That mad auto crat, Paul of Russia, ordered, by an imperial ukase, that all persons who met the Emperor's . carriage the streets should fall down on their knees and take off their hats as it passed, and a peasant who did not observe the regulation, because he did not know it, had his hat nailed to his head by order of the imperial savage. Is the King of Bavaria, the inditer of German sonnets to liberty, disposed to imitate the northern tyrant, and prepared to enforce his order by any similar rigour ? We suspect that the States must take some notice of his conduct, though it refers to mere ceremony.— Times. Messrs. O'Connell and Co. have begun to realize their threats of agitating Ireland over again. The text chosen for the new discourses of the missionaries—not undoubtedly messen gers of peace—are twofold, as in the last cam paign—" Abolition of Tithes, and Repeal of the Union." There is beyond all question deep room to regret that the former of these two subjects has been kept open to the present hour. A mournful omission it has been that the one great evil of the tithe system, which comprehends so many others, yet remains an instrument in the hands of unprincipled men, whereby they may inflame at pleasure the pas sions of a vehement people, and enlist not merely the impatience of suffering, but in some measure the sense of justice, and the suggestions of foresight, in a league against B r i t i s h con nexion. " Support me," says the Agitator, " in my repeal of the union, and we can jointly and speedily effect the abolition of tithe. What must be thought of the wisdom of that policy which places at the disposal of such a man a bribe to the Irish multitude so vast and irresistible ? But that is not all. Tithe is not merely a thing hated by the people : it has been formally denounced by the King and the House of Commons, as an institution which could not any longer be conti nued, and in lieu of which some more expedient substitute must be found for maintaining the Irish as well as the English clergy. From such high o a l i u t r o i e f t s i a p t e l o e p a l s e of Ireland may surely b e f org i ven f or h av i ng on the, t a a n d ti e c c i l p a a r t a e t d io: voefrysuecahrlyhi we hope they would not be unpardonable fo i ~.:.
