GERMAN PAPERS. FRONTIERS or BOHEMIA, OCT. 13.—The following is the speech addressed, in the name of the young Frercla Royalists, to the Duke of Bordeaux, on his attaining his majority:— " Sire,—French Legitimatists—your young country men—your faithful subjects. We come, on the day of your attainint your majority, to assure you of our de votedness, and to offer you our homage. Be pleased to accept our wishes, which are the same as those which we cherish for France, with respect to its deliverance and its happiness. Born to consolidate its destinies anew, it will owe to you all that it owed to one of your ancestors, and you will become, Sire, as you yourself have promised, the second Henry IV. of France. The Duke of Bordeaux answered as follows ,—‘, G en . tlemen,—l endeavour to the utmost of my power to make myself worthy of the important duties which my birth imposes on me, and of which you have now re minded me. I believe that I have thus found the surest means to show my gratitude for the sentiments which you express to me in the name of my young countrymen. I shall not be happy till I shall he allowed to unite my efforts with yours for the deliverance of our common country. Be convinced, Gentlemen, that I appreciate the motives of your journey. I shall be happy to retain your names in my memory, and still more to prove to you, one day, that I have not lost the recollection of them."—Munich Political Journal.

The constant endeavours of our monarch to make his people happy have been crowned with the happiest results, and, amid the many calamities that have recently occurred, no land has beets less visited than Ault.;.

Should this he con firmed, we may believe the report that Prince Philip of Hesse Homburg, now commanding at Gratz, will he appointed to the post in Italy filled by Count Radesky. The Prince of Hesse Homburg is known as one of the most able of the Austrian Generals, and was, in the years 1826 and 1821, employed in important diplomatic missions. We are waiting impatiently for news from the Hague It is hoped that Prince Felix Schwartzenherg will be successful in his mission, and that the Belgian question will he at length decided. It is no longer spoken of, as tl,e public attention is engrt,ssed by the more important events which are occurring I eyond the Pyrenees. Com merce, howev-r, which judge. of the effect of political events by the state of the Funds, still fixes its eye on Belgium, and seizes on all intelligence that comes from thence.

LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 2, 1833. A correspondent, who appears to be well ac quainted with individuals and parties in Spain, assures us that the English public are mistaken in their estimate of the political character of the Spa nish Prime Minister, M. ZEA BERMUDEZ. He says that M. ZEA, so far from being regarded in Spain as a partisan of the absolute system of government, is the object of peculiar dislike to the Carlists, who will never forgive the execution of BESSIERES, which took place under the Ministry of which M. ZEA was a member, and, as'it was believed at the time, at his direct instigation. He also adds, that M. ZEA owes a grudge to the Russian Court, which refused to receive him when he was sent as Ambassador from the Cortes, and concludes by expressing an opinion that M. ZEA is merely temporizing with the Carlists with a view to subdue them and introduce into Spain a Constitutional system. Our Correspondent is correct in his statement as to the execution of BESSIERES, and the re fusal of the Etnreror ALEXANDER to receive M. ZEA ; but he omits stating that the one act of vengeance against Carlism to which he alludes was lost in the multitude of executions upon Constitutionalists when M. ZEA was Minister. If the Carlist BESSIERES met a death from which M. ZEA could not, if he had been so disposed, have preserved him, it should not be forgotten that the brave EMPECINADO and fifty other Constitutional chiefs were brought to the scaffold, when, probably, M. ZEA'S influence might have, at least, ob tained the commutation of the punishment of their patriotism into banishment. True it is that M. ZEA, when sent as Ambassador to St. Petersburgh, was not received by the Emperor ALEXANDER, but what was the motive of the refusal to receive him ? The indignation of the EMPEROR against M. ZEA for the temporary abandonment, in the love of place, of the prin ciples which he had acquired at St. Peters burgh, where he commenced his diplomatic career as Secretary o f Count CoLomut, and subsequently resided a long time as Charge d'Affaires from the Spanish Government. M. ZEA may be, for aught we know, a Spanish Talleyrand—a despicable character enough as regards the man himself, but a shrewd politician, without fixed principles, and therefore useful to a nation from his willingness to follow a reason able impulse—but we must have some better proof of his not being devoted to Holy Alliance principles than the apology which has been offered for him, before we express any confidence in the assertion that he is merely temporizing with the Carlists, and that he has in view the improvement of the present system of Govern ment in Spain, and the amelioration of the con dition of the people. We have received the Paris Papers of Thurs day in due course. They contain no news of importance from Spain. In Catalonia a national guard of 15,000 men has been raised, and other Constitutional corps are forming. How will the QUEEN REGENT be able to maintain the principles of her Anti-Innovation Manifesto, with the constitutional portion of the popula tion in arms ? When the Carlists are put down, if she does not grant a constitution, MINA, ARGUELLES, and the other distin guished patriots now in exile, will have only to show themselves in Spain, to effect a glorious and bloodless revolution. A change of this sort appears certain, whatever the wishes of the QUEEN REGENT may be. A report prevailed in Paris on Thursday, that Don CARLOS had entered Estremadura, at the head of a party of 400 cavalry, and that General SAARSFIELD was about to be superseded in his command for not displaying sufficient energy in quelling the insurrection in the revolted pro vinces. This, however, can only be regarded at present as mere rumour. It was also said that General CASTAGNON had been forced by the Carlists to a retrograde movement. FRENCH FUNDS.—l'mus, OCT. 31.

Portugal Gold, coin... 0 0 0 Fcreign Gold, in bars 3 17 101 New Doubloons 0 0 0 New Dollars Silverbars, standard - We perceive, by :a paragraph in the Paris Papers, that the f engineor, -appointed by the French Goveinment to prepare the plan of a railway from Pant to the French coast, hat reported in favour of a line to Bordeaux, with branches to Rouen and Orleans. The Minister of Public Works will, it is expected, recommend the adoption of this plan to the Chamber of Deputies, and little doubt is entertained but that the sum necessary for the execution of it will be granted without delay. If anything were wanting to urge the capi talists of this country to erect railways, the example of the French would, we think, suffice ; for if, in a country like France, the importance of this improved mode of communication is so felt and acknowledged, how much more so must it be apparent to the English, both as regards their own inclination to travel with speed, and the interest which they have in the speedy tran sit of goods. It is gratifying to know that although the French may keep pace with, they will not outrun us in the race of improveme n t . A railway between London and Liv er p oo l h as been decided upon, and will, in a f ew y ears , b e completed. Another, between London and Brighton, will probably be completed in the ' course of two or three years ; and another very important line—the WeAern—will, we are convinced, be complete within the same period of time. By an advertisement in the papers, it appears that the Directors of the Great Western Railway have resolved, in order that no time may be lost, and that the merits of their plan may gradually develop them selves, to commence their line at one of the two extremities, viz., from London to Reading, with a branch to Windsor, and from Bristol to Bath. The holders of shares on this partial line of railway are to have the option of taking an equal number of new shares upon the future extension of the subscription list. We do not entertain the slightest doubt of the success of this scheme, which will be at once a source of public benefit and individual profit. It has always been our anxious endeavour to impress upon the really industrious working classes, that no permanent improvement could he made in their social condition unless they themselves set their hands to the work. In spite of the demoralizing effect of the poor laws, and their forcing the industrious to part with their earnings for the support of the drunken and idle, it must be confessed that there is still a strong spirit of industry and independence kept alive in the breasts of the body of the people. Indeed, were it not so, pauperism would, all over the country, eat up rents an d capital (accumulated labour), as it is a c tually counties. One of doing in several southern the most gratifying outward symptoms of the spirit of independence, has been the undi minished amount of the Savings Banks deposits, and the perseverance of the people in joining Friendly Societies, in spite of the disappoint ments, occasioned by bad management, to which many of them have led. Several Acts of Par liament have been passed of late years, to guard the industrious and provident poor against the mismanagement of their savings. Not the least important of these Acts is that passed last Session to enable depositors in Savings Banks and others, to purchase Government annuities, through the medium of Savings Banks. Mr. PRATT, the barrister appointed to certify the rules of Savings Banks and Friendly Societies, has just published this Act, with explanatory notes, references, and an Appendix, contain ing different sections of the several sta tutes referred to, and applicable to a soci ety formed for the purpose of purchasing Government annuities. Mr. PRATT'S intro ductory remarks state the advantages of the proposed plan of annuities to the industrious classes so clearly that we cannot forbear quoting a portion of them. After noticing the disap pointments occasioned by the nonpayment of superannuation allowances by Friendly Societies owing to miscalculations, &c., and recommending them to confine their benefits in parishes where Government Annuity Societies are established, to relief in cases of sicknessand death, he says— "By the provision of the above statute a parochial society may be formed in any parish, provided the rector, minister, or vicar, or a resident justice is one of the trus tees. No unnecessary expenses are incurred in the management, which is wholly gratuitous, the trustees and managers acting as the agents of Government ; the amount of the annuity to be purchased cannot be less than 41., or more than 201. per annum, and is secured by Gavernment. No annuity can he contracted for on the life of a person under the ace of 15. The money to be paid may be either in one sum in the first instance, or by weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly payments, as may suit the convenience of the purchaser. The amount of the money paid down, or of the yearly instalments, will of course de pend upon the age of the party, and the time when he wishes tl.e annuity to commence. The annuity is pay able half-yearly, viz., on the sth of January and sth of July, or sth of April and 10th of October. But if a party wish to have the annuity payable quarterly, he may effect his object by purchasing one half payable in January and July, and the other in April and October. Provision is also m a de f o r continuing the annu a l p a yments or re ceiving the annuity at any other society than the one at which the contract was originally entered into ; and if the annuitant die after the payment of the annuity has com menced, his executors, &r., will he entitled not only to all the half-yearly arrears due at his decease, but also to one-fourth part of the expired annuity in addition there to, provided the same is claimed within two years after his dere Ise. " Independently of the advantages which are thus afforded to the industrious classes to obtain by small pay ments a certain provision in old age, or at any other stated period, secured by Government, and of which they cannot be deprived, either on account of miscalculation it: t.. 4 -gt instance, or afterwards by the fraud or mis managetnent of those who have the conducting of the affairs of the noel the tables of contributions have been so calculated, that if the purchaser of a deferred annuity die b. fore th. ime arrives at which the annuity is to coo - mence, the whole of the money he has contributed will be returned, without any deduction, to his family. And it it does not exceed 501., it is not necessary that pro bate or letters of administration should be taken out. But if he has left a will, or administration is taken out, no stamp or legacy duty is payable in respect of the sum so returnable, if the whole estate, &c., of the member is under 501. ; and again, if a purchaser is incdpable of continuing the payment of his yearly instalments, he may, at any time, upon giving three months' notice, receive back the whole of the money he has paid. No annuity granted /lo ha uhi.", Gum' , itku, ROF yen dm same, be transferred or assigned, but must continue to be the property, or be received for the benefit, of the party by, or for, whom it was purchased ; but in case of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the purchaser of an annuity, the same is to be repurchased by the Commissioners at a valuation according to the tables upon which the annuity was originally granted, and the money will be paid to the assignee for the benefit of the creditors. " A parochial society is not confined to the parish in which it may be established, but any person, wheresoever resident, may subscribe thereto, and will, on application at the office where the business of the society is transacted, receive every information he or she may require, and be furnished with the fetus of certificate of birth, &c., which must be produced before the contract for the annuity can be entered into. " On reference to the tables, &c., it will be sees that the purchaser of au annuity, from a society established under the statute 3 Will. IV, c. 14, if he live to the age at which the annuity is to commence, will be entitled to receive an annuity equivalent to the value of all his pay. ments with the accumulation of compound interest; if he is unable to continuo his yearly instalments, he may have back all the money he has paid ; and if he die before the commencement of the annuity, his family will receive the whole of the contributions he may have made previous to his decease." The advantages of the arrangements here described must be obvious, and we recommend the industrious and provident workman, who knows the ennobling feeling of independence, to turn them in his mind, and endeavour to take advantage of thew. The drunken, the idle, and the debauched would also do well to weigh the benefit of making the same attempt ; for they may depend upon it, that the system under which their idleness and improvidence has been nourished at the expense of their more honest fellow-citizens, will not long be permitted to go on unchecked. Let them consider that the price of a glass of gin per day would purchase them an annuity, which would maintain them in comfort and independence in their old age. ASSESSED TAXES. It was expected, in pursuance of announcements at several meetings of associations which had lately been held for obtaining the abolition of the assessed taxes, that several deputations from those associations would meet this morning and march in processio❑ to Lincoln's Inn, from whence they would accompany the procession of the Lord Chancellor and the Judges to Westminster Hall, where some of the parties had been served with process to appear, this being the first day of term. Their Lordships met at Lincoln's Inn Hall at the usual time, and left there at ten minutes to one o'clock, to proceed to Westminster Hall. The opening of term passed off in the usual quiet manner, none of the deputations having at tended as they had expressed their invention of doing. Soon after the Courts opened, however, Mr. Savage, and several others connected with the associations, arrived, but all was quiet. STEAM TRIP TO BIRMINGHAM.--.We understand that an accident at Finchley delayed the pro greys of the steam coach for some time, and it was not expected to reach its destination till very late. The road front Birmingham was lined with anx i ous v i s i ters who were very curious to witness so novel a spectacle. The people of Birmingham went out in thousands some miles to meet the " new corner." ANTEDILUVIAN REMAINS.---A supposed Antediluvian Forest has been lately discovered by some men whilst digging sand on the banks cif the Salcomb, a mile from a village of that ❑ame, and about twenty miles from this pace.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat in his Court in Westminster (this being the first day of term) to-day, at half-past one o'clock. He was attended by his Honour the Vice•Cbancellor, and Masters Wingfield and Roupel; who, after paying their respects, as usual on such occa sions, immediately withdrew. THORLEY V. BURN. Mr. ATTORNEY-GENERAL was instructed to recall the attention of the Court to this case, which re lated to property that had been left by a gentleman for the support of the slaves he had left on his estates in the island of Antigua. There had been a good deal of difficulty about it, and his Lordship was pleased to send out a gentleman of the name of Wick, for the purpose of collecting the property. The Court at a subsequent period intimated that a receiver must be appointed, but no one had been nmed. It was of the utmost im portance that something effectual should be done for the preservation of the property. Sir EDWARD SUDDEN appeared on the other side. He was equally anxious that some available step should be taken. He feared, from a letter that had been received from Mr. Wick, that the property had not been secured. A Mr. Owen Pell had been proposed to be the receiver by the parties ; both sides considered him to be an unimpeachable and extremely fit person to fill the office ; he was acquainted with the island ; he was about to return to it, and was willing to undertake the duty. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL agreed in the statement that Mr. Pell was a most proper gentleman to be ap pointed, and suggested that it might be desirable that his Lordship should see Mr. Pell. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he should be happy to see Mr. Pell, and that his oecretary should be instructed to appoint with Mr. Pell a period for the interview. MOTIONS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL did not know what was intended to be done about the motions. When the Court rose there still remained a number of motions in the paper unheard. The LORD CHANCELLOR was quite aware of that, and thought the better way would be, provided it was conve nient to the bar, to proceed now with the hearing of those remaining motions. The Bar were not quite ready to go on with those mo tions, but the time was occupied in hearing such motions as could be selected, in which Counsel on each side were prepared. VICE•CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) This being the first day of Michaelmas term, his Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR sat in his Court at Westminster. In consequence of having to breakfast together with the other Judges, Masters in Chancery, and King's Counsel, with the LORD CHANCELLOR, in Lincoln's-inn Hall, his Honour did not take his seat till half-past one o'clock. The Court proceeded with motions, but up to the pe riod of our reporter leaving nothing of public interest had occurred. In the course of the day Mr. Balguay was called, by his Honour, within the bir, having been ap pointed King's Counsel. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships, having, as usual on the first day of Term, breakfasted with the Lord Chancellor, did not arrive in the Hall till half past one o'clock. Soon after, Lord LYNDHURST, Mr. Baron BAYLEY, Mr. Baron VAucuArr, and Mr. Baron GURNEY, took their seats on the Bench. Mr. l3alguay appeared i❑ the costume of a King's Counsel, and was called upon to take his seat within the bar. The COURT otherwise was engaged, up to the time we went to press, in hearing the justification of bail. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) At half•past one o'clock the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice J. Parke, Mr. Justice Taunton, and Mr. Justice Patteson, entered the Court and took their seats. THE KING V. THE MAYOR OF WELLS. The S , Licrron-GENERAL moved for a quo warrant°, directed to Francis Brazley, Esq., calling upon him to show by what authority he held the office of Mayor of the borough of Wells. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE interposed by observing that he understood a similar application had been wide and granted in the other Court, and therefore it would not be proper to h ,ve it again applied for in tins Court. The Court then proceeded with new trials. INSOLVENT COURT.-(THIS DAY.) TL , Cwirr Commtssxoriza and Mr. Commissioner BOWEN sat at the Court, in Portugal-street, to-day to take motions, none of which were interesting to the public. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)
