been laid on her bed—convinced me that the' poor girl's sufferings were soon to terminate. was at a loss for a length of time to break the oppressive silence. Observing, however, her fading eyes fixed on me, I determined as it were accidentally, to attract them to the fatal letter which I then held in my hand. A fter a while she -observed it ; her eye suddenly settled on the ample coroneted seal, and the sight operated like an electoral shock. She seemed struggling to speak, but in vain. I now 'wished to Heaven I had never agreed to under take the duty which had been imposed upon me. I opened the letter and looking steadfastly at her, said, in as soothing tones as my agitation could command, " My dear girl, now don't be alarmed, or I shall not tell you what I am going to tell you." She trembled, and her sen. eibilities seemed suddenly restored; for her eyes assumed an expression of alarmed intelli gence, and her lips moved about like those of a person who feels them parched with agitation and endeavours to moisten them. " This letter has been received to-day from Paris," I cond. titled; " It is from Colonel Lord and brings word that—that—that—" I felt suddenly choked, and could not bring out the words. That my Charles is dead—l know it. Did I not tell you so ?" said Miss —, interrupting me, with as clear and distinct a tone of voice, as ever she had in her life. I felt confounded.— Ilad the unexpected operation of the news I brought been able to dissolve the spell which had withered her mental energies, and afford promise of her restoration to health. Has the reader ever watched a candle which is flickering and expiring in its socket, suddenly shoot up into an instantaneous brilliance, and then be utterly extinguished ?' I soon saw it was thus with poor Miss All the expiring energies of her soul were collected to receive this corroboration of her vision—for such it may be called—and then she would, " Like a lily drooping, Bow ber bead, and die." To return : she begged me, in a faultering voice, to read her all the letter. She listened with dosed eyes, and made no remark, when I had concluded. After a long pause I exclaimed— " God be praised, my dear Miss —, that you have been able to receive this dreadful news so firmly l" 44 Doctor, tell me have you no medicine that could make me weep ? 0 give it me, give it TIIC ; it would relieve me, for I feel a mountain on my breast—it is pressing me," replied she feebly, uttering the words at long intervals.— Pressing her hand in mine, I begged her to be calm, and the oppression would soon disappear. " Oh—oh—oh, that I could weep, Doctor !" She whispered something else, but inaudibly. I put my ear close to her mouth, and distinguished something like the words— ,4 I am—l am—call her—hush—" accompanied with a faint, flutter ing, gurgling sound. Alas, I too well under stood it. With much trepidation I ordered the nurse to summon the family into the room in stantly. Her sister Jaue was the first that en tered, her eyes swollen with weeping, and seem ingly half suffocated with the effort to conceal her emotions. " Oh, my darling, precious, precious sister Anne !" she sobbed, and knelt down at the bed. ride, flinging her arms round her sister's neck-z; kissing the gentle sufferer's cheeks and mouth. Anneb.lovel—darling!—Don't you know me ?" Sire , ;groaned, kissing her forehead re peatedly:"'could' help weeping ? All who bad entered were standing around the bed, sob hing, and in tears. I kept my fingers at the wrist of the dying sufferer; but could not feel whether or not the pulse beat, which, however, I attributed to my own agitation. 44 Speak—speak—my darling Anne 1 speak to me ; I am your poor sister Jane 1" sobbed the agonized girl, continuing fondly kissing her sister's cold lips and forehead. She suddenly started—exclaimed, " Oh, God, she's dead !" and sunk instantly senseless on the floor. Alas, alas, it too true ; my sweet and broken hearted patient was no more ! PARIS, OCT. 25. (From the Private Correspondent of the Timm) *ln my letter of yeaterdny I mentioned to you that the Council had then broken up without any final decision upon the modification of the present Ministry. Several propositions were made and discussed before the King. All the Ministers in fact offered to go out, if deemed no misery by his Majesty for the better consolidation of public opinion, but strange to say, in the reconstruction of an administration, nobody offered to come in. The public! Exchequer of France at this moment requires replenish ing, and every man in the path to political power wishes to stand away from -the approaching process against the Ex-Ministers ; the inducements to take office are not therefore as strong at present as in other times, Many names were, however, mentioned, .but the only authentic particulars which I have recelvet are as follows, they are the whole of what can be depended upon, so late es half-past two o'clock this day :—The intended project is to include in the Ministry three of the Ministers with out portfolios—M. Lafitte, for Finance ; 111. Casimir Per rier, for the Interior ; M. Mignon, for Public Institution ; General Gerard to quit the War-office, to make way for either Generals Lamarque or Hero; Dupont de More, Moll, and Sehastiani, to retain their present offices; Louis, Guizot, Dupin, and .Broglie, to retire. This is the in. tended modification of the Ministry which is at present under consideration. There are to be no more Ministers without portfolio.. Other projects are circulated, but that which I have just written is the only one upon which you can rely. It is, in fact, authentic. Still every thing here is permitted to hang upon events. 'the Ministers one day all wish to go out ; the next day some of them express a readiness to remain. The Duke do Broglie is the only one who is heartily sick of being iu office. The great difficulty is, I repeat, the disinclination to amthset the impending prosecution, Every body wishes to keep Ids hands out of, it; and some, who are pressed to remain in by the King, but who know that their tenure of oilicm is not permanent, reply by the French proverb, that they do not wish to stop in the house merely " to dry the plaster." V. P.S. There is a complete cessation' of nocturnal dis turbances. The National Guards are every where punc- Wel to the duty which they have undertaken. Never did mortal hold the noblesse in such utter detestation as did the direcieur Swers. " When ever I meet a stranger," said he, " I ask him this ques tion--; Are you my equal ?' Should be reply in the negative--' Then you are a wolf,' I rejoin, ' arid as a wolf 1 will trent you.'

Aft. , • t'sie '64 4 1, 1 *11 LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1830. His MAJESTY will hold a Council at St. James's Palace on Monday next, when the KING'S speech for opening Parliament will be finally agreed upon. Our City Correspondent says,—" We are in formed that England, France, and Prussia—the nearest Powers to Belgium—are going to hold a Congress, at which they will form certain con ditions for the pacification of Holland and Bel gium. These conditions will be presented to the Provisional Government at Brussels for their compliance within a certain time, limited by the three Powers. At the expiration of that period, Should the Belgians not comply, the Prussian troops will immediately march into Belgium. The above is said to have been agreed to yester day by Prince TALLEYRAND 7 We cannot help expressing great doubt of the correctness of the above,—for what better right have the three Powers named to interfere in the affairs of Belgium—than other and the same Powers in those of France ? Is it that France is too mighty to be trifled with—and that Belgium must submit because her arm is not so strong as her right ? This is a forcible illustration of the boasted principle of non-interference truly—and well accords with the sense of justice hitherto practised by the Holy Alliance. But let them take heed—the first shot tired by Prussia in such a cause—may re echo from St. Petersburg!' to Madrid, startling the serfs of Germany and the slaves of Italy to a sense of their degradation—till the murmur of vengeance burst forth, and the war-cry of " Free dom and retribution " resound over Europe. We have perused in the last number, just published, of Blackwood's Magazine, an able article on the property and Gavernment of the Church of England, in which occur the follow ing important admissions :•"^.." The churchmen have sunk into a despised minority. To defend the church is to provoke popular derision and enmity, and in almost every struggle her party is defeated. The middle and lower classes have transferred much of the animosity they hereto l'ore entertained against the Dissenters to her clergy ; and with the higher ones it has become a system to stand aloof from her, and advise concession in every thing that affects her inte rests. One party attacks her tythes, another her rates, and a third her authority ; in both England and Ireland, the seizure of a large part of her wealth is openly advocated." 'These remarks, proceeding from a clever—influential—High Cory publication like Blackwood's Magazine, are signs of the times, which cannot—and indeed which ought not—to be overlooked. Conced ing to the writer the strict truth and accuracy of his observations ; agreeing tot° cede with nim that in both England and Ireland he seizure of a large part of the Eccle siastical wealth is openly advocated, (a fact which none can lament more deeply than ourselves, who desire to see the Protestant establishment regenerated, not despoiled) we would ask him why is this ? What has, occasioned this general alienation on the part of two kingdoms towards their national Church ? The reply is obvious. It is the pluralities of that Church which has occasioned its present almost un precedented unpopulariv. The doctrines of Christianity—that is,tif pure Primitive ,Chris tianity ; of the Christianity that is professed, not that which is practised—admonish its pro fessors that they are to consider, and never to lose sight of, the wholesome fact that their kingdom is not of this world, that their chief and best recompence is to be looked for in things spiritual, not temporal. People cannot forget these doctrines which they are taught from youth to age to reverence, nor can they be less blind to the fact that they are wholly lost sight of by the modern professors of Christianity. Instead of contenting itself with a moderate sufficiency, such as may best accord with its " decent splen dour," the Church, gorged as it is with plurali tics, is hourly hankering for more. clothing seems to satisfy its uneasy craving for the Mammon of unrighteousness. The Provincial Journals are perpetually filled with accounts of squabbles be tween Rectors, &c., and their parishioners, where the former, on being inducted into a living, (no matter how well provided for before,) instead of entering on it in the spirit of peace and justice, make it a means of rendering themselves ob noxious to the latter, and sowing the seeds of discord for six days in the week throughout their neighbourhood, while, on the seventh, they incul cate the necessity of living in charity with all men It is impossible that such a system of oppression on the one hand, and of forced obedience on the other, can long continue. The very first prin ciples of reason and of nature rise up against it. Equally impossible is it that the doctrines of pluralists can meet much longer with supporters either in or out of Parliament. What would be thought of the common sense of a Govern ment, which at a moment of emergency could think of allowing one Admiral to hold Jour naval appointments ? Suppose, for instance, that the same officer was on the same day to be gazetted as Admiral, Commander-in-Chief in the English Channel—Vice-Admiral Com mander-in-Chief in the East Indies—Rear- Admiral Commander-in-Chief in the West Indies—and Captain of the Fleet in the North Sea ? Would not such an appointment meet with universal contempt, ridicule, and oppo sition ? Yet it is a plurality not a whit more absurd in its provisions than many of those now permitted in the Church, where one clergyman may hold at the same period of time a Bishopric in the North—a Deanery in the South —a Rectory in the West—and a Prebend in the East of England—together with a few extra livings in Ireland, thrown in by way of making up the deficiencies of his fortune, with out ever visiting one of these snug births from the moment of his introduction to that (much regretted one) of his death, These are unde niable facts—and for the sake of an establish ment which we cannot choose but reverence— we regret that they are so. Much, however, may yet be done in the way of purification : the twelfth hour has not yet struck, and the Church may still preserve its character for integrity and virtue by openly declaiming against the injustice—the monstrous incredible injustice—of elevating a certain Clergyman to the Mitre, whose sole recom mendations are his apostacy—his Rectory of many annual thousands—and his singularly pro lific family. Papers from Cordova to the beginning of August contain intelligence from the Govern ment of MENDOZA of a new catastrophe in that province. The Ex-Governor CoRBOLAN, with the force of OMHEIRA, moved towards the city, and on reaching a place between the Chacay and Rio Garde, the Indians attacked his di vision, and made so terrible a slaughter that only a small body escaped. CORBOLAN was killed, with a number of other officers. A vessel from Santa Fe had brought news that General MANELLA. bad been taken prisoner in that city, and was saved from execution by the interposition of his friends. The Finance Com mittee of Monte Video had reported a Bill, pro viding for the classification► and liquidation of all the State debts of a privileged and executive character. Under these terms were to be in cluded all such as were formed for the deliver ance of the country from foreign domination. We have received intelligence from Monte Video, by which it appears that the revenue of the Republic of Buenos Ayres for the first half year of 1830 was 5,908,000 dollars, and the expenditure 5,014,000. The debts were 19,713,765, the credits 5,317,000, and the de ficit, or floating debt, 14,397,727. It appears that his Majesty's ship Beagle, which had lately surveyed the coast of Terra del Fuego, from the western entrance of the Straits of Magellan to Cape Horn, in its accomplishment underwent great danger. For seven months and ten days the crew never saw a sail, and depended upon their guns for fresh meat. Observations were taken from the summit of Cape Horn, and specimens of natural history have been procured. It was generally supposed that no quadruped but dogs existed in the island of Terra del Fuego, several guanacos were, however, shot at the most southern part of it. The accounts from Patagonia, received at Monte Video, were satisfactory, all were quiet, and the Indians from 30 to 40 leagues distant. The Governor of Lakioja, Don GASPAR VILLAFANE, had become very enthusiastic in favour of General PAZ. He had despatched envoys to the other provinces to cultivate their friendship. The letters from Cordova contain no news. The Chili advices state that the pas sage of the Cordilleros was closed from the frost. The Governor of Monte Video had re voked several of the decrees, which circum stances had rendered necessary, and had re established the liberty of the Press. The war , like preparations had been discontinued. Letters from Panama represent the Isthmus as perfectly quiet, and with every prospect of a continuance of Constitutional order, notwith standi►►g the efforts of the demagogues to the contrary. In the south they were in anxious expectation of the meeting of the Congress. General FLORES ,had despatched General MO RALES and General G OER A as Commis sioners, the former to the Government of Bogota, the l►►tter to Venezuela, to regulate the manner in which tl►e diplomatic relations of the three States, that are to constitute the future re public of Colombia, shall be conducted. The former disembarked at San Buena Ventura, the latter at Panama. The accounts from Carthagena are not with out interest. The provinces of &mono, Nerves, and Cucuta, have, in consideration of the argu ments presented by the Minister Plenipotentiary commissioned to treat with them, agreed to re• cognize the Presidency of Mosquera. The pro vince of Cassanare persists in the purpose of form'mg an independent state, or annexing itself to Venezuela. Other provinces of New Gre nada were manifesting a similar disposition fo r independence. We have accounts from Honduras, by which we learn that the prohibition to the entrance of American vessels and cargoes at Amoa, had been removed, and the intercourse again renewed, on conditions even more favourable to commerce than before the restriction. The tonnage duty, which was formerly 7s. 11d., Jamaica currency, being now reduced to ss. per ton register mea sure. American vessels were allowed to enter the port, stop twenty-four hours, and depart, without being subject to any duty or tax of any sort, on condition that they do not break bulk. We direct attention to an article in another column, on the alarming state of Kent, which we have extracted from the Kent Herald. It is a truly melancholy picture of misery driven to desperation.

The holders still re main firm, and as the buyers are not disposed to take any parcels beyond their present want., business continues on a very limited scale, viz. about 1300 lads. The refiners gave from 565. 6d. to 595. for low and good brown work ing sorts of Jamaica, &c. There has not been many gro cers in the market, their attention is now principally turned to the fresh arrivals of Fruit. Foitztax SUGAR.—A public sale of 1054 boxes white and yellow Ilavannah took place on Tuesday, but the de• mand being very slow increased the disinclination for busi ness, and the above being from Trinidad da Cuba, which are not in such general favour as the Matanzas or Ha vannah, met a very heavy sale. The sound whites, owing to the lateness of the season, found no purchasers, and were bought in ; low and good white 345. to 40s. ; the wasted sold at 265. to 315., being 3s. to 4s. below former purchases. Yellows sold 6d. cheaper ; there were a few strong lots of good yellow, which brought 235. to 241. ; the remainder low and middling sold from 225. to 234. There is nothing at present doing by pri vate contract. EAST INntA SUGAR.-9,731 bags of Mauritius have been brought to market by public sale, of which 4,485 bags on Friday last were chiefly of low quality, and sold heavily and somewhat lower, some lots of brown bringing only 425. 6d. to 435. ; but the greater proportion of this parcel was washed, and not a fair criterion of the market; the remainder of the 5,246 bags sold on Wednesday last being an improved assortment had a more ready demand, and obtained steady prices. Browns 435. 6d. to 445. 6d. ; low and middling yellows, 47e. to 51s. ; and good yellow front 535. to 545. ; there is a small arrival to-day of 840 bags : 969 bags low and good white Bengal have been likewise sold by auction, 265. to 31s. 61, being 64. to 1.. 64. below former prices.

Owing to the strong north-west winds we have not the arrival of a single foreign mail this morning, consequently we are without any information at present. The private letters received yesterday from Amsterdam state that the King was expected there to review the troops ; also, that a new loan was to be brought forward to the amount of sixty millions of guilders. Console, which left off yesterday very heavy at 84 for the Account, opened at 84 to*, went up to 814, and at pre sent are 84 to I.

It appears by accounts from Milliner that that place has been pot in a respectible state of defence, and numerous corps of Delgiaa volunteers had arrived there from Tarte moot, Campene, and Duffle, and the contending parties are only divided by the river Nether ; therefore we may expect soon to hear of some desperate actions, particularly when the Belgians learn the late decree of the King of Holland.

This elegant little annual is equal to the very best of its predecessors. Nothing can be richer or more varied ;than its numerous illustrations. The " Esther" of Martin, in particular, which has found a worthy engraver in Finden, is ex quisitely beautiful, and is very properly made the frontispiece of the volume. The prose which accompanies this little gem, is from the a writer who has m us h energy and corn pen of mand of language. The Italian scene, from the pencil of Barrett, also deserves praise as a work o f art. It is highly finished, and has quite an air of romance and poetry about it. Of the remainder of the engravings, we have only time to particularize the showy and splendid one of the Japanese Palace at Dresden. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE --(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

The House of Commons met at One, and the House of Lords at Three o'clock-, for the purpose of administering the oaths to Members. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF KING'S BENCH. LIABILITY OF TAVERN-.ILIEXPICRS ....CAIII4II/LL V. BUSBY. Mr. FKEDIRICK POLLOCK, (with whom WAS Mr.WAT. 6024) stated that this was an action brought to recover the value of a great coat, and other articles, that had been lost from the hoube of the defendant. It appeared from the evidence that the plaintiff, who is a gentleman of fortune, arrived in England on the 17th of last March, and immediately proceeded. in company with his brother, to the Ship tavern, Water-lane, Tower street, of which tavern the defendant is landlord. He had with him a great coat, a shawl, and a foreign pipe, which, when he retired to rest, he took up to his chamber with him. In the morning be brought them down, and hung the coat on a peg in the coffee-room. When the plaintiff was about to leave the house, the coat and other articles could not be found, he, in conse quenx, mentioned the circumstance to the head-waiter, and inquiries were made of all the servants, but nothing could be heard of the coat. At length, however, the waiter said that he thought a gentleman who visited the house, and who resided in the neighbourhood, had taken it away by mistake. However, such did not turn out to be the case, and the plaintiff, from that day to the present, had heard nothing of his lost property. The Learned Counsel said he was at a loss to conjecture what defence would be set up, as not the least doubt could exist of the legal responsibility of the defendant; and it was neces sary for the protection of the public that hotel and tavern keepers should have persona about them of sufficient dili gence and honesty to take care of the property of persons visiting their houses. . . . _ Th; plaintiff's brother deposed to the above facts, and stated that the coat cost 71., the shawl 125., and the tobacco-pipe 21. 11s. On their leaving the decadent's house they left their address with the waiter. On hiscross-examination, the witness said be would swear positively, when the coat could not be found, that he never said that perhaps they did not take it to the house, but left it in the baggage warehouse. Mr. J. WILLIAMS addressed the Jury at some length for the defence, He admitted, that if the coat had been lost at the defendant's house, be was bound by law t• make good the loss. The Learned Counsel then called Three waiters, the porter, and the chamber-maid, who all stated that, when the plaintiff and his brother came to the house they had no great coat with them, and also that they said, when it was mentioned, that they must have left it at the baggage warehouse. After this evidence had been adduced, Mr. POLLOCK called Major Mallagan, who stated that he called at the de fendant's a few days after the coat was lost, by desire of the plaintiff; that he then saw the head waiter, who ex pressed his sorrow for the loss, but certainly never men tioned a syllable about the plaintiffs having suggested that be might have left the coat at the baggage warehouse. Lord TINTERDEN having briefly summed up, the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 71. No other cute posse+sing any point of public interest came before the Court during the morning. Several causes were struck out of the paper, in consequence of the non-attendance of the solicitors engaged in them. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. henry hide, aged 28, stood indicted for stealing on the 12th of October last, from Richard Townley, his master, gold neck-chains and sundry other articles, to the value of la Mr. Richard Townley, a jeweller, resided at No. 6, Cursitor-street, Chancery-lane. The prisoner lived with him from August last as clerk and warehouseman. On the 12th of October the prisoner left his employment, without having given any previous notice. He did not return at night, as was his custom, to sleep; he suspected something wrong immediately, and went to some pawn brokers where articles of his (the prosecutor's) were found, and the prisoner was taken into custody next day. Six or eight pawnhrokers produced hair or neck-chains which had been pledged with them by the prisoner (whom they identified) at various times. The prosecutor had no doubt that the whole of the pro perty was his. He had never authorized the prisoner to pawn any part of the goods..—. Guilty. Mr. Serpent ARABIN made some inquiries of the pro secutor after the prisoner bad been removed from the bar, as to his former character, the result of which satisfied the Court (as the Learned Serjeant raid) that it would be ne cessary to send the prisoner oat of the country. Thomas Jackson, aged 22, and John Wood, 19, were indicted for stealing two saws and some other tools, the property of James Watts, which he had left in the house from which they were taken, and in which he had been working. The - prosecutor and three or four other carpenters, proved that they had lost the tools specified in the indict ment. The prisoners were seen coming out of the house carrying the articles, were pursued by an officer, and taken into custody immediately. There was no doubt as to their identity.—Guilty. The COURT here also intimated that both prisoners should be sent out of the country. Laurence Powell, a mason, aged 48, was indicted under Lord Ellenborough's Act, for maliciously assaulting and wounding John APDonough, on the 25th September last. One count stated that it was with intent to murder ; a second, to disable; and a third, to do the prosecutor some grievous bodily harm. The prisoner applied to have his trial put off, that he might have the opportunity of seeing some witneasts to character. John M'Doneugh sworn—Was on the 25th of Septem ber last a watchman, and at the same time kept a shop in Berwick-street, Westminster ; had known the prisoner for three or four years. About six months previous to the 25th of September last hail a quarrel with the prisoner, and they fought together. In September met the pri soner in Berwick -street, and asked him how he was.— Prisoner replied, " Very well, but you shall be very ttn well." Prosecutor observed, " If you say so again, I'll serve you out, as I did you before." On the former occa sion he (prosecutor) had knocked him down. Did not ie collect that on the 25th September last he accompanied his expression with a blow. lie might have struck the prisoner first, and drawn blood from his nose, but not as he knew of. Could not say whether he had stretched out his fist towards the prisoner, before the prisoner struck him or not. Was struck on the occasion in question by the prisoner, rendered insensible, and carried into a surgeon's shop. Mr. Baron GARROW, with the entire concurrence of Mr. Justice Parke, considered it his duty to stop the pro. secution. From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared quite doubtful whether or not the prosecutor bad not pro voked the prisoner to act as he had done; and clear, that if M'Donough had died, it would only have been a case of manslaughter, and not of murder.—Not John Steptoe, aged 21, a labourer, was indicted for stealing, in the month of September last two sheep, from Mr. Beckett, a beast salesman, living near Aylesbury, his property. Mr. Putwrs conducted the prosecution.
