BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE. Mr. Huwr waited yesterday Nion the Lord Miger rAireilitt4neitaotaletA4teliiisettring disgraceful state of Blaclifriarfrbridge. He said tlie+ gentlemen who exeVel4riltutirii'rity there were, it was ' l true, constathly mending it, but they contrived to patch it with soft gravel, and the . heavy waggons sunk deep and made' ruts, which were fall of mud in wet weather, and of filthy dust in dry. The LORD nvott. said hi perfectly agreed with Mr. Hunt in the opinion that the state of the bridge was a disgrace to the authorities who superintended or managed it. He believed that the General Per pose Committee were the responsible parties, and the members of that Committee should certainly be apprised of the complaint, to the justice of which the public would bear testimony. Mr. HUNT slated that the old pavement of Flee-- xi:tett and Newgate-street, substituted by the new, would have answered the purpose of paving Black friart-bridge in an admirable manner. That pave ment was of granite stone, but was not now to be found, except on the premises of some of the won. thies of the Court of Common Council.--(A laugh.) —He knew for certain that the tan-yard of Mr. Tickner, the Common Councilman, in the borough, was paved with the granite stone which had been taken from Fleet-street. The LORD MAYOR asked how it was possible that Mr. Hunt could distingui.h between the granite stone of Fleet-street and any other granite stone? Mr. HUNT admitted that there was some difficulty but he happened to have his information from the ravior, who assisted in removing the atone to Mr. rickner's yard. Ho did not say that Mr. Tiekner had been guilty of any dishonest act in appropriating the old pavement, but the thing had an odd appear ance. The LORD MAYOR said the stone alluded to bed, he believed, been sold us refuse, and was not, consi dered applicable for the purposes for which it had been tried. It was the practice to convert articles which were set dawn as of no utility to the Corpo ration into money, anti to put that money down to the account of the city; but it was absurd to pre. itime that, in the disposal of it, a Common-Coun. • damn would be allowed to make a better bargain than any other person. • Mr. HUNT—Mr. Ticknet's yard is certainly paved with. the granite of Fleet-steet, and we are not pos. leased of the means of knowing on what terms. I dare say honestly enough. The Loao MAYOR said, he could not but believe that there were circumstances connected with the matter over which neither be nor Mr. limit could exercise any controul. Some years ago, when a contract was entered into to keep the bridge in re pair, there was no ground:4A complaint, but of late the bridge was in a most disgraceful state. Why the Committee were now so sluggish he could not at all guess. • Mr. HUNT said, it was a common current opinion that the bridge would be thrown down us soon as it should be thought fit to open London.bridge. Ile wished to be informed whom he should summon be fore his Lordship on a subject of so Orwell import ance to the public—whether he should AllEaffloll the General Purpose Committee, or Mr. Montague, the clerk of the works? To have it remedied he was determined, to prevent necks from being broken and other irreparable injuries from being inflicted. Lest year he had complained of the same terrible nuisance, and the newspapers bad noticed the complaint. 'flie consequence war, that the Authorities had done Komething in shovelling up for a few dap, but they fell back soon into their customary sluggishness. The necessity was now daily and hourly increasing, arid he hoped that some decisive conduct would be at once adopted. The Lotto MAYOTt said he thought Mr. hunt, if be summoned anybody, ought to summon Mr. Mon tague, and his Lordship poaitively declared that he would do all in his power on the part of the public. Mr. limo. then adverted to a report in the Morning Herald of the Sheriffs' dinner on Thurs day, the “Ottof September. bat report he con ',littered contained alibel upon his. Lordship, who sat on the occasion at the head of the table, inasmuch as it stated that pheasants formed part of the se eond course. It might appear to some very ialala.• torial whether pheasants were etiteit before or after the Ist of October, but certainly if any poor man killed a pheasant before that day, he would he sub ject to a severe penalty under the Game Laws, it could not be supposed that the Lord Mayor would sanction the violation of the Act. The Morning Herald must therefore have made an underhanded attack upon his Lordship, for which there was no foundation. The LOAD MAYOa. said, he abstained from eating the pheasants, precisely for the patriotic cause as, signed, because to shoot them so early was unlawful. Mr. HUNT said, that the rich, on occasions of ibis hind, showed an example to the poor, which they punished the poor far daring to follow. The Duke of Richmond had, some time ago, given en enter tainment at Staines, on ti 2d of September, at which pheasants abounded, and who could say tha• his Grace would remit the penalty, if a pour man was brought before him for shooting them ? He trusted that the Lord Mayor would be merciful to any unfortunate poacher who might be brought be fore him. The LORD Mav9R. hoped there would he no oc casion to put his feelings on the subject to the teat. Ile should not wish to be called upon to decide.— " But," said his Lordship, " the offender in this ease is Mr, Charles Bleaden, of the London Tavern, end I have no objection to your summoning that gentleman, to show c4llBO why he served up those dercacies against the Act Parliament,"—( Laught er .) It is understood that Mr. Hunt will summon the worthy host of the Louden Tavern, if he can pro cure evidence, but it is said that Mr. Bleaden bought the pheasants as cormorant% CAPTURE ' OI;I - iiiii - BURGLAR. (Abridged from the Chebneford Chronicle.) The most effectual means were set on foot to re cover the prisoner, and he was on Tuesday morning taken at Chipping-hill, by Mr. Bretnall, constable of Witham, whose spirited conduct cannot be too highly appreciated by the public. Wo feel that to do Mr. 'lrenell justice we cannot better effect that object then by giving the particulars of the captuie of this man as related by Mr. Bretnall, in a letter to Mr. Cawkwell:— f , Witham, Sept. 20, 1830, MAU Slit,--On Friday, Sept. 24, heing, at Chelmsford Minket, I l earn t t h at Joseph Rust, desperate character, had escaped from your gaol, and I was by Mr. Smith shown where and how he bud broken out of the prison, with other information us" to person, dress, habits, associates, &c. and knowing that he had a sister married to a man named ho o t, Cole, w h o was then living at Chipping-lull, In Witham, 1 thought it very tkel y that sit some time about midnight he might fly to her, for shelter. accordingly watched the house, and on Monday night, rapt twelve o'clock, I saw a light in Cole house, which just ',before had been in dark ness ; shortly after I saw Jacob Cole come out; in about half an hour he returned With awns beer; I then walked Very softly to the hontte,end could distinctly hear Rust relating the man ner of . his escape from gaol; his sister, Mrs. Cole, was Weepieg and chiding him for his wicked and violent conduct. I also heard Rust tiny Out much to my r:ornfort) that he would nor be taken by any one or tw o men livin g . This latiguage,' however, did not deter roe from making the attempt; with rey assistant, I immediately rushed into the house, showed him My staff of Ace, and with a loaded iinard in each hand told him li was my prisener that h e hail wept& horn Chelmsford hiving nearly murdered the %vett:tinily, 'g a i t."' at the rienie, thee that ' if be moved 'ha or u o r rin f ulm would biovi out his brains. O n hea ting ' this Irt resolution forsook him, and he unlinitteti to b ;' handcuffed; I then searched his person, and in hi s oeket found a piece of iron about a raot. a small crow.* It being about one o'clock in ' morning when I had thus secured Rust, with Only one assistant, I did not consider him sufficiently uv !rived of the power of resistance to induce me to 'remove him to my own house; I therefore Avery. imprudently, as I afterwprds considered it) tient my tofilatant for fetters. flip had not left me more than' five minutes, when Bast rose from his chair, find said he wanted to g o mit t I told him he should not. I then heard him whisper to his brother-in-law, Jacob Cole, to open the door. Cole replied, "If I do, Brettiall will shoot me." Rust becoming more re solute in his desire to go out, I cocked both my pistols, and presenting them at his head, repeated my threat that if he did not sit down quietly I would blow out his brains. His sister and brother now became much alarmed, and by their entreaties and my firm declarations, he was induced to yield. in a few minutes my assistant came with the fetters, and I made my prisoner more secure. I then re moved him to my own house, where I kept him until I was prepared to convey him to gaol. I con sider it but justice to say that Jacob Cole and his wife (Rust's own sister) are both of them very honest and industrious poor people; they acted throughout this trying case very properly, and I am induced to think that notwithstanding the tics of kindred, Cole would not have secreted Rust, or aided him in eluding justice, beyond the satisfying his hunger. _ _ _ " I am, dear Sir, &e. &c. " ROBERT BRETNALL." This preyed to be one of the hooks by which the cave-trough in the yard next Rust's cell was supported, and by the assistance of which be removed the bricks, and broke out of prison. Rust has expressed his regret that he took such violent means to effect his escape. The watchman is fast recovering. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. itCCLICSIASTICAL rarrEnmExTs. Oxman, Oct. 2—The Rev.

TRAVELS TO THE SEAT OF WAR IN THE EAsT.—Tlic perpetual change of scene opened to the view of the reader in Captain ALTIANDXIOI volumes, and the freshness and rapidity of the sketches, impart that charm to the wok which all the critical journals love united in proclaiming. When once the testier enters on the present t►aveller's narrative, there is no escaping from the spell by which his mind is hurried on through the Netherlands, Part of Germany, up the Baltic, Finland, Russia, the Crimea, and Turkey, every individual place being stamped on his memory by details arising from ant! remark and youthful vivacity of expression. The description of the ;Russian campaign in Turkey is of the utmost interest. 'lt is a curious fact, that the Ramona steam packet, which brought the news of the appointment of Colonel VAX HaLts as Military Governor of limed., was named after the virtuous and intrepid female by whose assisaance Colonel VAN lIALEN escaped from the prison of the, Inquiiition at Madrid. PAYMASTER-GENERA r. OF lIIELANDe To our great surprise we hear that the Earl O'Netta, is no longer at the head of the Post-office. The circum vent:re which have led to his Lordship's retirement have not transpired, though report ascribes them to a personal difference between the Noble Premier and his Lordship,— The residuary interest in the Post-office patent, we hear, devolves on the Earl of Rosse; indeed, it could not be iterwite ; for, even Willi:line& which we do not think pos sible, this Duke of Wat,taNcrrom would scarcely commit suell an act of injustiec as to deprive of an appointment a Nobleman who, for many years past, has contributed his gratuitous services as joint Paymaster-General, without any reward but the mere patronage of the department; 'and the more so, as this last surviving branch of official Aistinetion in Ireland is to he soon extinguished under that system of retrenchment recommended by the Parliamen tary Commissioners, and which the Government of Great Britain have determined to adopt as soon as the assem bling of Parliament can permit. We also hear that, even during the short interval that is to take place before the tetel abolition of the office, the little patronage which is left does not continua with the Noble Eal.—Morninp Register. We regret to hear that u serious disturbance leek place at Stamford op Wednesday last (the day before yesterday). The Marquis of Exrrett having entered the 'High-street on horseback, solely accompanied by his groom, a mob of between 200 and 800 persons, a great part of whom were boys, teaselled his Lordship with cries of " True :,Blues for ever !" " True Blues for ever !" At length the mob so increased in numbers, and their violence became so 'great, that his Lordship 'wee obliged to seek refuge in a ; hotel. The alarm became general, and a number of special constables were immediately sworn in, under the direction `of Mr. Acocv. The populace showed every indication ot the most violent intentions. Scitortzt.n, one of the Marl borough-street officers, happened to be stopping for a few moments at an inn in High-street, on his way to Horn 'castle, on privete business, and, seeing the Imminent den. gee in which the Marquis of EXECKII. Was personally placed, he, in company with Mr. ACOCK, and other special con• stables Of the district, escorted his Lordship a considerable distance out of town, until, from the speed of his Lerdehip's horse, no danger from the violence of the mob could be ex pected. A very turbulent spirit prevaila in the town. Two nee/ newspapers are about to start, one to be called the " Bee," the other the ." Wasp," from whence it may be safely concluded that they are of diametrically opposite political principles. The above facts we have learned from a gentleman who left StaMford yesterday morning. ESCAPEOF A CONVICTIIIOrit A strong sensation was excited on Thursday in the above gaol, by the discovery that one of the convicts, named I)ellWrfit under sentence of transportation, had effected his escape, under circumstances at present the most mys terious. It ; is yanal for the prisoners at this gaol to as aeruhle in the Chapel every morning. Yesterday, as usual, they wetimustered, and the' convict was then with them. Shortly after the return of the prisoners to their wards, one of the werdsmen called a turnkey, and informed hint that Putwes was missing. At this time vieiters were about to be admitted, and an Immediate search was com menced, and continued throughout the vireo, but with out effect. It is clear that the convict must have effected his escape before this, as every one of the gaolers was in stantly apprised of what bad occurred, and the utmost minuteness was observed with every one that left the gaol. Two of the must active turnkeys were at the door at the time, and: the person of Putti,tes being - well known to them, he could not have passed through the felon's door. 'The only idea that can be funned as to how he escaped is, that on the return of the prisoners from' chapel, he bad shmk back, and concealed himself for the instant, When an opportunity must have been afforded him to escape. To effect this he must have been mote than ordinarily daring, AS lie had to pass through two long peselgee, a s h or t er one, in which some of the turnkeys are always placed, by the bread-room, in which one or other of the gaolers is in constant attendance, and along another pas- Niger before ..he could reach the lobby, in which two of the turnkeys are plaeed.. Plittlays is an old offender, though yonng in years, and was tried and convicted at the \Vett inlmter Session% ) where he received sentence of transporta tion, end was removed to the above gaol preparatory to his lasing" Stilt on boatd the hulk*. CHILD MURDER AT SHEFFIELD. Some excitement has been occasioned at Sheffield and the neighbourhood for the last 4wp days, in consequence of the discovery of a ciipd *iv . * by tik,: young woman twenty-three yeari ofiage; at a Village called Ecclestield, on the road to Leeds from Sheffield. The accused person is Either Dyson, a deaf and dumb girl, working at a thread-mill at that place, a girl of exceeding good appearance, and re markably shrewd and cunning. THE INQUEST, On Thursday a respectable body of men assembled at the house of Mr. Ashton, the Black Bull Inn, in Ecclestield, near Sheffield, before Mr. B. BADGE, coroner for that district of Yorkshire, on view of the body of the child, when the following evidence was adduced : Ellen Greaves, the wife of Thomas °reeves, of Ecclesfie in the county of York, file-cutter, de posed--I know Esther Dyson, of Ecelesfield, single woman, who is about 23 years of age; she is deaf and dumb. I live next door to her, and she live. with her brother, who is also deaf and dumb. Three or four months ago I challenged her with being in the family way, but she denied it. She has sufficient knowledge, in my opinion, to know what is right or wrong, and I can make her understand by signs what I mean. About a month ago I again chal lenged her with being with child, and she seemed angry with me, and told me by signs that it • was some stuff that she had applied inwardly • and outwardly to her throat, which had made her body swell. I made signs to her to begirt and make some clothes for her child, at the same time showing her my infant, but site seemed to blow it away, making Signs sheaving that she wa: not with child; I was in the habit of seeing Esther Dyson daily. On Friday lust, the 24111 alt., I saw her about twelve o'clock, at her own house door, and she appeared quite big in the family way; I did not see her again till about nine o'clock on Saturday morning, when she was washing the house-floor, and she seemed pale, languid, and weak. On Saturday morning last, about nine o'clock, I motioned to her to know how she was; she then had a flannel tied round her neck. She motioned to me that she had thrown up a large substance, and it had settled her body. About three o'clock on Sunday last, the 26th instant, I went to her house, and her brother motioned to me that his sister was in bed very sick, but I did not go up stairs. About four o'clock on the same day, site appeared poorly and weak, and I desired her brother to make her some tea, end I stopped till site took it. I left about five o'clock on Sunday afternoon. From her altered appear ance I have no doubt that she had been delivered of a child. Hannah Butcher corroborated the above evidence► and said, that from her observation, us a married woman, she believed the-prisoner had been delivered of a child on the Friday. William Graham examined—l am a blacksmith. Know the prisoner, and I think her intelligent. On S►turday night last, the 2tith instant, oboist eight o'clock, I was returning home to Eccleslield from Wortley, and I met the prisoner in Lee-lane, in Ecclestield township, with something wrapped up before her apron. She was on a footpath leading from Beelestield to Wortley, and about GOO yards from the cotton-mill dam, where the body of a fe male child has been found. She having passed, I met Henry Woodhouse, and he asked me if it was not the dumb girl whom I had met ? and I said yes, it was. runny Guest, a gentleman's servant, who had been in conversation with Woodhouse, deposed to her having also seen the dumb girl pass her, with something under her apron. James Henderson, overlooker of the thread-mill belonging to Mr. Barlow, knows the prisoner and her brother, who is also deaf and dumb. They have worked in the mill eleven years. Is satisfied that the dumb girl is capable of distinguishing right from wrong. On Sunday last ssitness went to W. Dyson, the dumb man's house, and he willingly gave me his keys to examine the boxes belonging to rim. I saw nothing suspicious in his room. 1 then ex amined the prisoner's room, and I found blood on the chamber floor, and blood partially wiped off the floor. The wall was also sprinkled with blood. I withdrew the curtain of her chamber Window, and observed marks of blood on the window bottom. I opened a band-box, and found two aprons and a skirt, on which appeared as if a substance had been laid upon them, the blood having run through the skirt. The prisoner canoe up stairs, and, by signs, desired mu to conic away, and not search. Being convinced that something wrong had been done, 1 1 1 sent for the vestry clerkond in his presence searched the prisoner's box, and 'found several articles, from which it was evident that they belonged to a person who had beep delive re d o f a c hild. On Monday last, about an hour after the child had been found in the dam, it was brought to the Ecclesfield work house, and laid down by her. I asked her in her brother's presence why she blamed him ? She then satisfied me that ho bad nothing to do with it, but that she had done it herself. She told her brother in my presence that she did not throw the child into the dam. She merely laid it in. I conceive the prisoner to be a shrewd, clever Woman. Ann Briggs examined—l am the wife of Thomas Briggs, cutler, of Ecclesfield. The piece of green cloth produced by William Shaw, the constable, and in which the child was found, is a part of a sofa cover belonging to Wm. Dyson, prisoner's brother; I took the body of the child out of the cloth, and then to the workhouse; I also, at the same time, took the head of the child also found in the dam,. out of a separate piece of green cloth, which also belonged to the sofa alluded to. I have practised as a midwife for upwards of twenty years, and it is my opinion that the head of the child had been cut off by some dull instrument. Mr. Thomas Yeardley, who has a dumb child of his own, gave me some books, which are published for the purpose ,of in structing deaf and dumb children ; for, upwards of twelve months 1 instructed the prisoner In making signs and learning her the dumb alphabet, and she has obtained that instruction that I am convinced she can understand me; sheds of very quirk tips prehension. On Monday last I went to the pri soner, and asked her to explain the manner to m e hoW she was delivered of the child. I said to her, " The child's head is cut off." I have seen her several times since, and .she still insists that the head came On reproving her with throwing it into the dam, she showed me that she had not thrown it in, but had laid it in pretty and nice., James Machin deposed that, in consequence of information given to him on Sunday night, he went to the prisoner's house, and found it in the state de scribed by the other witnesses. I, assisted by W. Shaw, the constable of Itcelesfield, searched the dam, and pulled out the headless body du fine full-gown infant—a female. Thu witness went on to Corrobo rate the testimony of Henderson and Graves, as to the appearances in the prisoner's bed-room. Sarah Ingham deposed-4 am th e governess of. the Buell:40d workhouse. I went to the house of Dyson, and received from Henderson certain articles wrapped in a bundle; they w ere a ll saturated with blond - . The articles produced are the same, and have been in my care ever since. I examined the breasts of the prisoner, and found a deal of milk in them. She told me the same story as to the man ner in which the head cameoff, the she did the Other witnesses. I produced a knife to her, and showed by signs that she had cut the head off. But she threw herself on one side, and shunned the idea. Willi a m Shaw, the constable of Ecchisfield, con firmed the testimony of Machin. Mr, William Jackson, Lecturer on Anatomy, stated, that on the 28th day of September last, he examined Esther Dyson, the prisoner, and she had every appearance of hying recently been delivered. H e was decidedly of opinion, -from the eutminatiou, that the head, of the child had not been torn or screwed off by the mother. lie also had no doubt, from the particular examination made of the body of the deceased, and from the appearance which it exhib;ted on, that examination, that the child was barn alive. Mr. Joseph Campbell, surgeon, having also ex atnirted both the wan and the child, fully corro- Imitte4. cstimon y. i m on the: CoRONEw trimetl p, The Jury retireAsi dntl in a few minutes returned with a verdict of " Murder against Esther Dyson." The CottoNEß then issued a warrant for the un fortunate woman ' s comm:t tal to York Castle, to take her trial at the ensuing Lent Assizes. HOP INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK, srn. 25. The plan adopted as an experiment last season, of giving information respecting the crop of Hops by public ad vertisement, instead of sending circular letters, having given very general satisfaction, it is the intention of the undersigned Hop-merchants to continue it. The Mid and East Kent districts, where the hest class of Hops are usually grown, have suffered this year by the disease of mould to a greater extent than was ever known ; so that the quantity grown of choice Hops is very limited. In the Weald of Kent and Sugsex the crops are better ; a large pot tion, however, of these districts rem tins to be picked. The crops of Worcester, Farnham, and Essex are very bad. There has been rather a plentiful supply of Kent pockets in the market, of which the best sorts have been freely bought at advancing prices; very few Imp have been on sale, and no East Kent in bags or pockets. The lateness of the picking has kept short the supply of Suss,x pockets ; these that have been offered have found a ready sale. Old Hops, particularly of the growth of 1826, 1827, and 1828, are much in demand, and at improved prices. The duty is estimated at 94,000/. CURRENCY. L. a. s.

On Thursday last a meeting of gentlemen was held at the Clarendon-rooms, Liverpool, when it was agreed to present a requisition to Sir ROBERT PEEL, in viling•him to permit himself to he put in nomination as a candidate to represent that town in Parliament. The re quisition received the names of a number of respectilde and influential persons, and it will he forwarded to the Right Hon. Gentleman in the course or the ensuing week. As Soon as it was known that a requisition to Sir ROBERT had been agreed on, Another meeting was held, at which a requisition to Mr. CHARLES GRANT was unanimously voted, inviting him to become a candidate for the seat, which is now vacant l.y the death of his friend Mr. MS. NISSON. The only candidate who has announced him self is Mr. WILI.I.Vbt F.wattr, who, though a promising young man, seems not to possess sufficient ability to re• present a town which has numbered CANNING and nes- KISSON among its Members. Sir STRATEORD CANNING has been mentioned as another candidate; and there is little doubt, were he to offer himself to the choice of the freemen, that he would receive a very general support. 'We hear, however, that Sir STRATFORD does not think he should he justified in addressing the electors, being a stranger t 4 them, unless he were invited to become a can didate. The death of Mr. flusetssow, it is worthy of remark, has entirely broken up the party of which he was the head. Several of his most influential friends at tended the meeting, at which it was agreed to invite Sir Roister Prim to become a candidate; whilst the re mainder immediately resolved to invite Mr. CHARLES GRANT. The latter gentleman is at present in Scotland, and thither a deputation will proceed on Friday. MILITARY DISCIPLINE.-011 WedltOliday rooming, at nine o'clock, ions HA wromA4s EDMONDSON', a private in the 3d battalion of the let regiment of root Guards, commanded by his Grace the Duke of Wnwsa- TON, was brought out from his place of confinement into the Armoury-pull, St. James's-park, in older to undergo the punishment awarded to him by a court martial. The nro . urtanate nun, it appears, about three months ago, was on duty at the Tower, and was standing sentry at a place called the One-Gun Battery, and was detected asleep on his post. He was placed in confinement, and a court martial was held. It was not until Wednesday last that he was brought out to hear the sentence of the court martial, which wee read over to the Regiment, and be was to receive 500 lashes. Ho was immediately tied up, and after having taken 155 lashes, he fainted away. The blood spirted from the wretched man's back on the drummer's face, and it was found necessary to stop the punishment, and he was taken immediately to the Military Hospital in Rochester-row, Westminster, where his back wfts stressed. A case of shocking barbarity has, lately oc curred in Peyden (Aratrica,) A negro fellow, known by the name of ASAliti, nearly cut off the tongue of one of his own children. The sufferer .wita a girl aged eight years, and bad offended tier father by committing the enormous crime of picking a cucumber froM the garden. ASABEL was absent at the t►me, but was infoimed of it on hit return, when he seized a knife, went to the child who Was asleep, and slashed the tongue considerably more than half off. It is said the child bas a long time been abomi minably abused by built parents; and living in dread of their auger, revealed the deed to nobody. but a fortnight after, having found a bottle of rum in the field, she drank to intoxication, and was found by a gentleman lying on the ground, with her mangled and now almost petrified tongue banging oat of her mouth, Medical aid was im mediately procured, and the child, whose life was threat coed by her horrible conilitioa, is now out of danger, though her tongue will ever be nearly useless.

EDINDUltati, SEPT. 27.—0 n l'hursclay the Russian Government steam-ship Bebe ' bound from St. Petersburgh to Odessa, arrived in Leith harbour, 'consider r ably disabled, having encountered the dreadful gale of Sunday last, and put in bore for repairs. 'This is the first foreign steam -vessel that has come to Leith, and the coin cidence is not a little striking that she was built at the Russian capital by a native of this town, named SiNCLAIR, and the engineer also belongs to Leith. A beautiful bronze fiche, with her cup, adorns the prow, and the vessel alto ther is elegantly finished. She has been five days from Christian Sound, and will proneed to Odessa as soon as refitted, between which place sad the Asiatic she is in tended to ply. 'General CLARKE, of the Imperial Russ sign service, and family, are passengers. This morning, Saturday, a young female, not much above 17 years of age, whose dress and appea rance c t; f in a look t h e water, plunged in at the moment, and provid en ti a ll y saved ke much respectability, flung herself into th e cana l at .1r and would moat certainly have perished but f or bespo "imerit, . t o l o ie t e h ter o t a i v o i n g s a o ti f oo tt , man flamed partGt.o o s.rxß f h'er keeperlo the her from an early grave.

(From the Gazette de Prance of Weltteld 'y.) PARIS, SEl•Tpinutt 28.-,A prosecution is to be instituted against us having published the explanations of a noble Peer „respecting his re fusal tb take the oath—explanations the evident object of which was to make known to his coantry the reasons for the political deprivations which he thought himself obliged to incur. We did no' resolve on publishing them till after having care fully examined the principles of the new Constitu tion which governs us, and which requires the free publication of all opinions as an element necessary to the formation of that national will which, ac. cording to their principles, as become the legiti mate Sovereign in France. If there were a single .opinion the publication and discussion of which were prohibited, we should be under the govern ment of arbitrary power, and the new Charter would no longer be a truth. Respect for all opinions is the sentiment which predominates in France. This is the most remark able difference that exists between the revolution of 1830 and that of 17109. At all the banquets—in all the toasts—this sentiment has found organs to ex press and to applaud it. We await with confidence the issue of a law-suit, which, bt•tter than all proclamations, will give all the French an opportunity c,f knowing under what regime they are placed. " TO TIER EDITOR. " PARIS, SEPT. 28. " Stop--I have just read in the lifoniteur of this morning a strange piece of news. You and the Quolidienne are to be prosecuted, the litter for having published a letter from M. de Kergolay to the President of the Chamber of Peers,—yon for having repeated it. I confess to you that lam con founded at this. Where are we, then,—in what re public do we live,—if the liberty which the victo rious party grants youconsists in mentioning nothing contrary to its opinions or its interests ;—if history itself becomes seditious when it relates facts which the party would have arranged otherwise if it had been in its power ? For this is history,—it is a fact which you have recorded. M. de Kergolay, called upon by the new law to take an oath within a certain fired time, refuses this oath. _ . " The same reasons which order the journalists to notice the acts of assent, doubtless order them also to keep an account of the refusals; and the same rea sons which require the publication of the reasons for which some assent, require also the publication of the reasons for which ethers refuse. These reasons are inseparable from the fact ; they are the fact itself, since it derives from them its morality,—since it is determined by them. And besides, what will be gained by suppressing the motives, if the fact rt.- mains ? Do not all the persons who refuse the oath, declare by that alone that they are not convinced of the legitimacy of the order of things for which that oath is required ? M. de Kergolay expresses eloquently, in two pages, what several of his colleagues have expressed ener getically in a single word : this is the whole dif ference. But I make a reflection. The Quolidienne and the Gazelle are not the only Journa's which contain testimonies contrary to the establi.hed re gime. The Moniker is as guilty as they are—the Monileur, which publishes this very morning the refusal of the Duke of Narbonne, the Duke of D'Usez, and the Marquis de Is Suze. If these gentlemen refuse the ()Nth, it is apparently because they reject the principle on which the oath is founded. lint why mention the Monileur? Has not the proces verbal of the Chamber of Deputies equally incurred a legal prosecution ? Is it not se ditious, like the Monileur " You may read at full length in this graces verbal a recent letter of M. de Fourmont, s hich, laconic us it is, says at least as much as M. de Ker golay. Here is plenty of work cut out for the King's Attorney-General. M. de Broglie certainly did not reflect that this prosecution of facts tends to nothing less than to dry up the sources of truth, and to annihilate history. For a minister of public in struction this is passing strange." (From the Message,' des Chombres of Srpt. 30.) PARIS, SEPT. 29. Symptoms of disorder have manifested them selves m the electorate of Hanover. At Luneberg a letter threatening the Governor, M. Von Decken, has been posted up, and at Uelexen the receiver of taxes was obliged to escape in his shirt. Similar movements have taken place at Celle and Hildes helm. In the latter town they are otganithtg a Burgher Guard. The Hanoverian regiment of Guards is marching to the frontiers of Brunswick. REPORT TO THE KING. " consequence of the project adopted , for the decorating of the definitive Chamber of the sittings of the House of Deputies, three large paint ings are to be placed at the end of the Chamber, one over the President's chair, and the two °theta on the right and left at the same height. The sub ject of these paintings was not decided upon by the former Government. " The moment is arrived that the choice of a sub ject ought to be decided upon, and which is to figure in a 'Chamber where the greatest questions are di.- cussed, and where the publicity of its sittings will influence every part of the world. " Wishing to submit my ideas for the approbation of your Majesty, I thought it necessary to confine myself exclusively to our legislative history during the French revolution. It is there where the De puties ought to choose their examples, as France is anxious to see them advocate the cause of liberty and constitutional institutions. The accession of your Majesty to the throne, and the oath taken in the presence of the two Cham bers, is a sufficient guarantee for our political right-. " A painting, representing , the Royal Sitting of the 9th of August, 1830, at the moment when the King takes the oath, will b e pl ace d over the Presi dent a seat. 0 The resistance of despotism and sedition are the bounden duties of a Deputy. Two subjects, intended to represent the two most striking proofs of the exercise of their duties, appear the most ap propriate to accompany the solemn ceremony of the King taking the oath—Micah/lan, in replying, in the name of the C;onatitutional Assembly, to the Grand Master of the Ceremonies„ at the sittings of the 23d of June, 1780; and lousily d'Anglas, in saluting the head of Deputy Feraud, which re presented the preirial revolts : such are the subjects that have appeared to me to represent in the most forcible manner a double duty, as they will have the exclusive advantage of being the means of deve loping the art of historical painting. " Such paintings, of so national an interest, can not be proposed by the Government without excit ing -the rivalry of the most distinguished artists. A public competition for the task can be the only means of satisfying the ambition and claims of all. " I beg of your Majesty to grant your approbation of the subject* above-mentioned, and to the mode of competition which I propose for their execution. "I am; &e. The Minister of the Interior, GUIZOT. " Approved on th e 25 t h of Sept 1830, LOUIH PHILIPPE." (From the Constitutionnel.) PARIS, SEPT. 29.—The events in Belgium have turned out as the friende.of public liberty amid pated and desired,•-.-1111 oppressed people, who had made every sacrifice for public order, driven to des peration by the imprudent arrival of a military force, fired upon the troops, resisted, and at the price of their blood freed their capital from military occupa tion': nothing is more natural or legitimate.
