The British Minister who shouid .dictate to France under the suggestions of the Holy Alliance, would be a traitor to the interests of his own country. We liave read with unmingled satisfaction a letter from the Earl of COVENTRY-which will be foUnd in another part of The Sun—in an swer to an application made to • him by some of the Tory Quidnuncs of Worcester to assist them in the manufacture of a Conservative Club. His Lordship declines having any thing to do with such an absurd project, for two sufficing reasons, " first, because he dislikes Political Associations altogether, from the dictating Unionist to the spleenish Conservative ; secondly, because he considers the plan more likely to irritate, and thereby do harm than effect good." It would puzzle the Ultras, we suspect, to give as sound reasons for getting up a Conservative Club, as Lord COVENTRY has here put forth for rejecting the proposition. The time .for such Clubs, as every quick.witted Ultra cannot fail to perceive, is passed no.w. The Test and Corporation Acts are no more ; Ca tholic Emancipation is carried; bigotry is at her last gasp, receiving extreme unction at the hands of a Reform Administration ; COBBETT and O'CONNELL—the last whisking about a fiery tail like a comet—are in Parliament ; and worse, Far worse than all, the poor, dear old Constitu tion—that Constitution which the wisdom of our ancestors had reared, and the wisdom of boroughmongery had matured--is dead and gone,. without hope of resurrection ! What then is there left for a Conservative Club to fight for ? It surely will not lead forth its troops to battle in defence of that which has no longer an existence ! It will not be so frantic as to die in the last ditch for nothing —for the mere abstract pleasure of giving up the ghost ! Such an exploit would be more maniacal than even Don Quixote's adventure with the windmills. Wisely, then, does Lord COVENTRY refuse to " march through Coventry" with the tag, rag, and bob-tail oi a Conservative Club. Wisely does he resolve to crush the chick in the egg-shell. But let us hear his Lordship on another branch of his subject. " Although of Conservative principles," says he (speaking in the third person), " Lord COVENTRY hopes ever to call himself a liberal Tory, and does not, in common with strongly biassed in dividuals on the aristocratic side, consider that the existing Government can do nothing right. He finds his rents very fairly paid, and on turning his eyes to the Funds, he finds them at 88, and really thinks that it is not a moment of such dreadful peril, as to make an association of this character necessary in this city or county." There is a sturdy, straight-forward John Bullism about this which we like exceedingly. The reasoning is that of plain, well-wearing, common sense. We take for granted, that it will have the effect of knocking, up the Conservative Humbug in Worcester altogether. The French Papers mention that the Emperor of RUSSIA has refused to receive Marshal MAISON as ambassador of France to St. Peters burgh, and add as a reason—and a more curious, or at least, a more ridiculous one, we never heard—for this refusal, that the Marshal showed infinitely too much revolutionary readi ness to escort CHARLES the Tenth to Cherbur g We have heard of children's reasons for refusing to take physic, or do anything that they hap. pened, in the whim of the moment, to dislike, but, in point of caprice and folly, imperial reasons beat infantine ones out of the field. The same authorities add that Sir STRATFORD CANNING is in the same predicament as the poor Marshal. A letter from Toulon, mentions that Admiral ROUSSIN, the newly appointed Ambassador of France to the Sublime Porte, " embarked, on the 20th instant, on board the Galatee fri gate, then in that port; that he was to have under his command the whole of the French naval forces in the Levant ; and that, in order to enable him to act profes sionally, without detriment to the public service, General GUILLEMINOT, whom he had been appointed to succeed, would be charged with an extraordinary mission to Constantinople, and discharge the functions of Ambassador until the permanent absence of Admiral RousslN from the fleet conld be dispensed with." German Papers give a deplorable account o the state of the SULTAN'S affairs. The late action between his troops and those of IBRAtirNi seems to have been quite decisive, even though the former were twice as numerous as the latter. Not only was the VIZIER captured, but almost the whole of the " artillery, baggage, &c., fell into IBRAHINI'S hands," who was also joined by many thousand deserters. " The only means of safety," say the autho rities we have just quoted, " for the SUL TAN seems to be a peace, purchased by unqua- lified assent to the demands of ATEHEMED ALI; and this is said to be the opinon of the moderate party in the Divan. If the SULTAN hesitates, ever, his life may be in danger, as an insurrection in the capital is feared, not without reason, should the Egyptians approach. But should he resolve on flight, in reliance on foreign aid, it is expected that IBRAHIM will take possession at once of both the capital and the throne. It is considered as cer tain that all the provinces which have not yet declared for IBRAHIM will follow the example' as soon as he shall be master of the capital." THE TRADE OF LEEDS.—The stock of goods generally in the Cloth Halls is getting low, in con sequence of the sales this month continuing good. Cloths are higher in price, and the raw material is on the ad vance; we hope it will continue, and yield a just remune ration to the industrious manufacturers.—Leeds Mercury. CRUIKSIIANKS has prepared some admirable and very appropriate embellishments for the new edition of the " Rejected Addresses," and the original authors themselves have, we understand, adeed some curious illus trative notes. HARLOWE, the artist, who " should have died hereafter," made a beautiful drawing of the portraits of the writers of this popular work, which will he engraved 14y the FINOENS, and accompany the new edition.

Mr. WAKEFIELD was instructed to remind the Court that the prisoner, of the name of Baptist, a foreigner, and who could neither read nor write, still remained in New gate, notwithstanding his Lordship had before Christmas stated that he had spoken to the Commissioner about the prisoner; by whom he was committed. As no communi cation whatever, from that time to the present, had reached the prisoner, it was presumed the circumstance must have escaped the Commissioner's recollection. The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated that he would im, mediately attend to it. LEITH V. IRVINE. l The Court proceeded upon tite:exceptictis. Hirt v. Alsop, Wright v. Green, Bridge v. Bridge, Hay nes v.

Nothing of any public importance occurred in this Couri up to the time of our Reporter leaving. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) The COURT was this morning occupied in hearing ar guments upon motions for new trials, none of which pos sessed anything of public interest. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) STEVENS V. THE INHABITANTS OF BRISTOL. Mr. JEREMY moved for a certiorari to remove the assessment of damages in this case from the city of Bristol to the county of Somerset. The plaintiff had brought his action against the hundred of Bristol to recover com pensation for damage done to his property during the Bristol riots. By a recent Act of Parliament, providing for remuneration against the loss of property in that city, parties claiming might sue the hundred, the latter allow ing judgment to go by default, and leaving the only ques tion to be decided to be the amount of damage, and that was to be assessed by a Jury. However, so mail), had suffered by the riots, and so extensive had been the de struction of property, all of which must fall upon the city, that it was feared an impartial and disinterested Jury could not be had without going into the county of So. merset. His LORDSHIP granted the rule, and ordered the in quiry to take place before a Sheriff's Jury in the county 01 Somerset. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) _ _ CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. By the French mail this morning, accounts from Vienna state, that a Commission at Berlin is occupied in organizing the army of the Confederation in case of a war, and it will be divided into two corps crarmee, each to act separately. Accounts from Madrid state, that on the Ilth inst., at night, a great number of arrests took place, amongst which were Marino del Pont Novoa, Commissary of War; Count de Negrie, gentleman of the Red-chamber of Don Carlos ; General Grimartst, and Count de Prado Zemees. They are closely confined in the prison. By an extraordinary courier arrived at Paris from Ma drid, all was tranquil i❑ the above capital. It was re ported at Paris that the Prussian Plenipotentiary there, who was invested with full powers from the King of Holland, had come to an agreement with the French Cabinet, on a provisionary adjustment of the Milks of Holland, and that a note had been despatched to Berlin, containing the project agreed upon by the three Powers. Halifax papers to Dec. 13, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. BARIADOES.-We regret to observe, by a late Barba does paper, that the Legislature of that island has passed a perpetual Act laying an additional duty of ls. 6d. per ton on all vessels arriving at that island, and a clause in the same Act states that a further sum of Is. 6d. shall be levied for seven years. The Barbadoes merchants, in a petition to the House of Assembly, remonstrated greatly against the measure. - From the Halifax papers, the quarantine regulations established by the Governor and Council is suspended, with respect to all vessels arriving in the province, except from the United States.

The steam-boat which was anxiously looked for, on account of the supposition that it would bring the answer of the King of HOLLAND, did not arrive last night. But it is understood that the answer has been received late this morning. Its nature has not transpired. It is, however, supposed that it will not prove at all conclusive. We understand, on what we have every reason to believe is good authority, that the Marquis of ANGLESEA does not go back to Ireland as Viceroy. It is stated in the diplomatic circles that some difference is likely to arise between Lord PAL MERSTON and the French Cabinet on the sub ject of the last despatches from Holland. His Lordship is disposed, it is said, to accede to certain proposals which it would be contrary to the interests of the French Government to ac cept, and which would be a violation of the as surances given by Louis PHILIP to the King of BELGIUM. If the proposals in question be such as our Cabinet can accede to without just ground of offence to that of the Tuileries, Lord PALMERSTON will do well to act for this country without reference to French interests or French feeling ; and, as we cannot conceive what right the Sovereigns of constitutional States, who ought to be the mere executives of the will of the people, have to make pledges to each other, without the concurrence of their respective nations, we should - not be sorry to see the private arrangements of Louis PHILIP and LEOPOLD, supposing that any have been entered into, set aside, provided it could be done without injury or discredit to those in whose name, but without whose au thority, their engagements were contracted. Considering, however, the direct and immediate interest which France and Great Britain hare in maintaining a cordial union, and how much it is the interest of despotic Powers to foment mistrust and jealousy between two free countries, we dread the idea of any difference of opinion between the British and French Cabi nets even on the minutest point. If they must, like man and wife, have their little bickerings, let them, at least, like man and wife, unite against those who would interfere with their arrangements. Nothing would gratify Russia more than to see disunion between Great Bri tain and France, and we may be sure that Count Pozzo Di Boßco, notwithstanding all his professions of amity, will neglect no opportunity of attempting the revival of the absurd national hatred which brought France to ruin, by the in vasion of hostile armies, and reduced us almost to beggary. The King of HOLLAND will, we have no doubt, under the instructions of his allies, offer concessions to this country which he would deny to France, hoping, in that way, to create a dissension which would keep the Belgian question open, and pave the way to the re•annexation of Belgium to Hol land ; but our Cabinet will act very un wisely indeed, to allow the intrigues of Russia to prevail over the sense of our true interest—a cordial and permanent alliance with France. We do not speak of an alliance between the two Sovereigns, or of a compact between Marshal SOULT and Earl GREY, or the respective Mi nisters for the time being, for it might happen that the Kings, or the Ministers of the two countries, might unite for purposes much op posed to the general welfare, but of a warm, frank, and sincere understanding between the people of France and Great Britain. Differences will, of course, arise ; but how easy will this be of adjustment, if the two parties reflect on the importance of union,"and turn their eyes towards THE FUNDS. Consols, which left off on Saturday 872-1 for the Ac count, opened this morning at 87 3 3 ;at present they are 87/1 buyers. The improvemerc may be attributed to the ri.e of the French Fundy of i per cent.-74f. 80c. ; as yet this sudden rise at Paris is unexplained. The information f:om the Continent, particularly from Holland, is of a contradictory nature; one day pacific, and the next .iay warlike. The fact is, they know nothing of what i, going on in London. The present state of the affairs of Turkey may lead to some important events in the east of Europe. Consols are now 871 I-. _ HALF-PAST ONE.

PROPOSED CONSERVATIVE CLUB, (From the IV , rcester Herald.) We understand it has been in contemplation for some time past to form a Corservative Club in this city, and circulars have been very generally addressed to gentlemen of Tory principle, earnestly soli c iti ng them to become members of the society. Applicaion ha v i ng b een ma d e to the Earl of Coventry, as one of the most ancient of the aristocracy of this country, to patronise the " association." the Noble Earl, exercising that sound discrimination and right feeling which he is well known to possess, has made the following manly declaration of his opinions on the inutility-of the project. Having been favoured with a copy of his L or d s hi p ' s commun i c ation, wi t h out any re strictions as to s ecrecy , eve h ave grea t pleasure in prestnt ing it to our reader*, feeling assured the sentiments therein contained are in accordance with those of every individual who is anxious to prorrote the tranquillity and prosperity of his country, and to allay that state of political excite ment which has of late unhappily prevailed:— " Lord Coventry presents his compliments to Mr. Gutch, and begs to apologize for not having replied at an earlier date to Mr. Gutch's letter of the 77th last month. " That communication, Lord Coventry perceive 3, refers to the subject of a " Conservative Association" intended to be formed in the city of Worcester; and Lord Coventry, amongst other noblemen, is requested to patronize it, as being in ac cordance with the line of politics he and his ancestors have usually adopted. Lord Coventry, however, thinks that in so acquiescing, he should not be acting wisely—lst, 73ecause he dislikes Political Associations altogether, from the dictating Unionist, io the spleenish Conservative. ?dly, Because he considers the plan more likely to irritate, and thereby do harm, than effect good; and, lastly, Because, in subscribing to such a measure, he would be compromising, in a great de gree, that liberty of action in public life, which it will ever be his ambition to maintain ! " Again, although of Conservative principles, generally speaking, Lord Coventry hopes ever to call himself a liberal Tory, and does not, in common with strongly biassed indivi duals of the Aristocratic side, consider that the existing Government can do nothing right. He finds his rents very fairly paid, and in turning his eyes to the funds, he finis them at 88--and really thinks that it is not a moment of such dread ful peril as to make an association of this character necessary in this city or county, exciting jealousies, and keeping up party spirit, which, whilst matters go so, it might be quite as well to tranquillize. " Lord Coventry is much flattered by the denomination of him as one of the most patriotic and Conservative Noblemen in your county, and has to hope that he will be losing nothing in your estimation from this open avowal of his feelings, or be supposed to have deserted a course which could alone pre serve the Constitution, when he affirms, that in his humble judgment, he does not see any cause for the establishment of a Conservative Association in the City or County of Wor cester. " Severn Bank, Worcester, Jan. 24, 1833. J. M. Gutch, Esq., Bevere." THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. There were moderate arrivals of all kinds of Grain last week, and also of Flour ; but the trade, Upon the whole, was dull, with no alteration in price for almost every article. The fresh supply of this morning consisted of a large quantity of Wheat from Kent and Essex, but not much from other parts. The millers purchased W heat cautiously, and this article met a very slow sale, at Is. to `2s. per quarter reduction for most kinds. Barley remains heavy, and hardly supports last terms. Beans and Pease meet sale with great difficulty, and are again rather lower. Oats remain as last reported, with a full demand for such as are fine and sweet. The Flour trade is not so lively as of late, and prices are unaltered. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) -s. -a.

DRURY-LAN THEATRE, On Saturday evening, a :„rye in two acts, called The Nervous Man, was produced at this theatre, and Arent off exceedingly well. This clever and ingenious 'rifle is ascrib-1 to the pen of Mr. BERNARD, the success. ful author of 'several pieces now performing at the minor theatres. It was admirably acted, especially the part of Aspen, the nervous man, by FAREEN, and M'Shane, an Irish personage, in physical and moral qualities the very antipodes of the other, by POWER. The plot of the farce is as follows Aspen, a wealthy merch.nit, and nearly approaching his fiftieth year, is paying his ad- Tresses to Emily Vivian (Miss A. MORDAUNT), the daughter of his friend Vivian (Bunromn), a Wiltshire gentleman. Aspen's name is happily indicative of that -xtreme sensibility which is'his prominent characteristic; i n on e of his excursions to Margate he has formed an ac.- qoaintance with 111'Shane, who, with that easy and gen. tlemanly impudence for which his countrymen are pi-o-= cerbi d, invites himself to dinner, and becomes, subse quently, an unceasing annoyance to Aspen ; borrows his money, tricks him out of his seat in the mail, -akes possession of his estate at Harewood Hall, In Wiltshire, which Aspen had just purchased at Garrg' way's. At this seat he is joined by Lady Leech (Mrs; C. Jones), and Lor i Lounge (Mr. BRINDALL), to wilt& he had introduced himself in town. His authority at Harewood 11.11, however, is but of brief duration, for Aspen has gone down by post, and arriv es just as M'Shane is about to entertain twenty friends to dinner, when a very laughable eclaircissement takes place. Aspen now in the neighbourhood of his mistress, prosecutes his suit with ardour; but, although favourably received by the father, the lady, like most other young ladies, having a will of her own, and, besides, a more agreeable lover in the person of Mr. Merton (Mr. BAKER), negatives the proposals of the quingue-genarian lover, to which is so peradded an invitation by Merton to fight a duel, but from which Aspen escapes through the intervention of Df Shane, who, on the part of Aspen, resigns the young lady to her more youthful inamorata The humour of the farce lies entirely between EMMEN and POWER, who both evidently liked their parts, and did them ample justice. The piece was exceedingly .cell received. NEWSPAPER STAMPS.-DECISION OF MINISTERS. Mr. Bulwer then proceeds to state that Ministers do not intend to include in the privilege of cheap po.•tage, any tracts, pamphlets, or, in short, any other than periodical works. He urges several weighty reasons against this " financial reservation ;" and he also states his objections against another part of the plan of Government, viz.— tbe intention not to make any alteration, at present, in the advertisement duty of three shillings and sixpence upon each advertisement Mr. Bulwer thus concludes the paper in which he has conveyed this most cheering intel ligence, and to which, as it will be published in a day or two, we refer our readers for further information : " We have advanced these remarks because we trust that, if on financial principles alone, the candid and en lightened Chancellor of the Exchequer may be yet induced to re-consider the propriety of excluding light works from the benefit of the postage, and retaining the present rate of duty in advertising. For the rest, he has exceeded our hopes; and insured himself, in his concession of the worst, the most odious, and the most demoralizing of all the taxes on opinion, new claims to the gratitude, the respect, and the love of all those who think, not only that knowledge is power, but that it is the only power which the people cannot abuse." . ()--.. We may, therefore, consider, receiving the announce ment as we do from such authority, the question upon which so many have been so long speculating, as com pletely set at rest._ . - The duties on Newspaper Stamps are to be repealed in Coto—the Advertisement Duty to continue as heretofore—. and each newspaper, when transmitted through the post, to be subjected to a small postage--a postage, as we under stand, of one penny. * • Since the above was written, we have learnt, from an other source, that it is in contemplation to issue from the Stamp Office stamped " slips," as envelopes to the news papers to he forwarded through the post. The inconveni ences of this plan cannot have been perceived by Lord Al thorp. He will easily learn their nature and extent from any practical man. We also imagine it will be found necessary to enact some penalty for the transmission of papers except through the post ; otherwise they will, for the most part, find their way to the provincial agents through cheaper channels of conveyance. We, of course, write under the impression that considerable gain to the revenue is anticipated from the postage. We cannot hut regret, however, that this course is to be adopted. If it be expedient to communicate knowledge in the cheapest form to the metropolis, it is of still greater consequence to render it cheap to the country. In London there arc ample means of acquiring information almost without any expense_in the provinces it is not so ; moreover, the pro vinces stand in greater need of information. We shall hereafter state the reasons why we regret that no reduc • tion is to be made on the advertisement duty. The first intimation conveyed to the Marquis of STAFFORD of his elevation to the Dukedom of SUTHER LAND, was by his MAJESTY himself, in the most gracious manner. At one of the dinner pArties, the week before last, at the Pavilion, the KING called for a bumper from his guests, amongst whom were the then Marquis and Marchioness of STAFFORD, and, after a brief, but very energetic, eulogium on the noble pair, he proposed their healthy, as " Duke and Duchess of SUTHERLAND." In the district from which the title is selected the most exten sive preparations are in progress to celebrate the event.— Court Journal. The reception of Mr. WESTERN by their 3liazs-rlEs at the palace at Brighton, to which he wa. .peeiall invited, previously to hie receiving the dib tinguished honour of the Peerage, was gracious in the extreme. The Noble Baron dined at the royal table, and in the course of the evening was frequently honoured with familiar conver sation both by the KIN. and QUEEN. BURKE'S PORTRAIT GALLERY OF DIS TINGUISHED FEMALES. --We are requested to state that the third number of this work, to be published on the lst of February, price 2s. 6d., will contain Engravings of Countess of BELFAST, Lady W.

It is with feelings of the highest gratification we are enabled to announce the detrrunination of Ministers—at no distant period after the assembling of Parliament—to take off the whole of the stamp duty on newspapers. Our au thority for this most welcome intelligence is Mr. 13ultver ; his authority is, we take for granted, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Balmer has been kind enough, in reply to a request publicly made to him for information on the subject, to forward an unpublished sheet of the New Monthly Magazine. We have been favoured with a sight of this paper, and are thus relieved of all anxiety on a matter so deeply inieres•ing and important. and enabled to communicate to the public news that will gladden the country from nnrtk to south, and Irum east to west. Mr. Bulwer thus writes :..... " Deeply interested as we are in the removal of the taxes on knowledge, having ourselves taken so active a share in promoting their repeal—considering the consequences which lie beyond the surface of the question of the gravest importance to the virtue of the operative classes, to the proper direction of industry, and ultimately, through ex tended inquiry into the distribution of labour and capital, to a relief of our financial difficulties themselves, we can not express the pride, the dtlight, the gratitude we expe rience, when we announce to our fellow-countrymen that it is the intention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to take off the whole Stamp Duty on .Newspopers— substituting a cheap postage in its stead. W e ar e con vinced that this great measure—the fearlessness it evinces of the expression of opinion —the hon st confidence in the vigilance possessed by instruction—the wi.e desire for per manent improvement in morals as in circumstances—wil d o more to confirm the upright and exemplary statesman who thus widens the sphere of knowledge in the hearts of the people, than even the courage with which he sup ported our late Constitutional Reform —the patience with which he defeated opposition—tbe integrity with which he retired from office when the cause was in danger— his sympathy with the public interest when the triumph was obtained. That question, once our own (under what different circumstances!) we now resign to the hands from which the boon ought naturally to come. Of the first systematic Parliamentary advances, of the principle it embodies, we may perhaps be entitled to say ' Hos ego teci ;' willingly shall we add when the principle is carried, Talit alter honores.'" ~! ` . 1
