LITERATURE. ;~ HISTORIC ANECD 0 TES of the LEGISLA TIVE UNION between GREAT BRITAIN and IRELAND. 2 VOLS. LOXDON, 1833. Sir Jonah Barrington, who was himself no unconcerned spectator of the scenes which he here describes, has entered at considerable length, to a degree even bordering on the re dundant, into the history of Ireland, during its most memorable and eventful epoch—that is to say, from the year 1779 down to the final close of the 18th century. He enters copiously into all the details of the public events that characterized this excited period ; traces the rise, progress, and decline of the Irish Vo lunteers; of the influence they worked on the Irish Legislature, and of the means by which this latter body gradually (for a season) shook off' the trammels of British domination. In the course of these interesting details, Sir Jonah presents us with sketches of many of the most intelligent patriots, who pressed forward on this great occasion. We have full-lengths of Flood—Grattan—Lord Charlemont, Com mander-in-Chief of the Irish Volunteers, a well-meaning man, but feeble and incapable of grappling with difficulties, or " wielding at will the fierce democracy" of' such a body as the Irish Volunteers,—of Fitzgibbon, afterwards Earl of' Clare, first a patriot, then an apostate, and lastly (an almost inevitable consequence), a confirmed misanthropist—of Curran, whose wit and fancy, splendid and unrivalled as they were, were utterly devoid of judgment, carrie • , in fact, scarce an ounce of ballast—of Pon sonby—Conolly—the eccentric Bishop of' Derry (an Episcopal phenomenon)—the Duke of Leinster—Lord Castlereagh—Lord Norhury— in fact, of almost every Irishman of note, whether idolized as a patriot, or branded as an apostate, who stood out on the canvass in the front ground, during that extraordinary period in Irish history commencing with 1780, and closing ' with the year 1800. The subject that Sir Jonah has here volun tarily imposed on himself, is a difficult, a com plicated, and a delicate one ; but it is but jus tice to say, that he has executed it with temper and address. The bent of his mind is plainly manifest throughout; the couleur de rose glows in all his portraits ; still his likenesses, as a whole, are faithful. No one, for instance, can fail to perceive that the portrait of Grattan has been painted by the hand of friendship ; that the ruder lineaments have been softened down and the fainter strengthened ; but, at the same time, no one can fail to recognise the likeness, as we find it handed down to us in all the records—and though brief and sketchy, they are numerous—of the period. Curran and Flood, particularly the latter, are also among the author's favourites, though, as far as we can per ceive, truth of character has not been sacri ficed to warmth of friendship. The style of these volumes, though in some parts turgid and verbose, yet on the whole is graceful and agreeable, bespeaking the scholar and the gentleman. The embellishments are numerous : that of Curran is the best in point of likeness, though as works of art all are pretty nearly on an equality. At the pie sent crisis, the volumes will, no doubt, be read with the keenest avidity. The histo rian will refer to them for information, the mere reader for amusement, to supply him with anecdote and gossipry. We subjoin a character istic passage relative to the Bishop of Derry's visit to the Irish House of Peers, at the period when this eccentric Peer's patriotism was at blood-heat : " Previous to the meeting of the delegates, the Bishop of Derry had determined to convince the Irish people, that he was no lukewarm professor of adherence to their interest ; his character, already given, is confirmed by every act of his life when in Ireland. He took his seat among the Irish delegates, at the Rotunda, with 'the greatest splendour; and, to prove that he preferred the claims of the Irish Volunteers to both his English rank as Earl of Bristol and his Irish rank as a spiri tual Noble, he entered Dublin in royal state, drew up his equi page at the entrance to the House of Lords, as if he halted to teach the Peers their duty to their country, and then moved forward to take his seat at the Rotunda, as an Irish Delegate in the National Convention. Such a circumstance can be scarcely credited in England ; but had not Lord Charlemont's temporising neutralized his spirit, it is probable that the Con vention might have succeeded in its object. It is not, there fore, wonderful that a British Peer, an Englishman, and above all, a Bishop, taking so decided a part in the cause of Ireland, should gain a popularity that few before him ever had so fully, or perhaps more justly, experienced. He certainly was sin cere; his proceedings on this occasion were extraordinary, and not unworthy of a special notice. The Lords had taken their seats in the House of Peers, when the Bishop of Ddrry began his procession to take his seat in the Convention. He had several carriages in his suite, and sat in an open landau, drawn by six beautiful horses, caparisoned with purple ribands. He was dressed in purple, his horses, equipages, and servants being in the most splendid trappings and liveries. He had brought to Dublin, as his escort, a troop of light cavalry, raised by his unfortunate and guilty nephew, George Robert Fitz gerald; they were splendidly dressed and accoutred, and were mounted on the finest chargers that the Bishop or their commander could procure. A part of these dragoons led the procession, another closed it, and some rode on each side of his Lordship's carriage. Trumpets announced his ap. proach, and detachments from several volunteer corps of Dublin joined his Lordship's cavalcade. He never ceased making dignified obeisances to the multitude : his salutations were enthusiastically returned on every side—' Long live the Bishop' echoed from every window ; yet all was peace and harmony, and never did there appear so extraordinary a pro cession within the realm of Ireland. This cavalcade marched slowly through the different streets, till it arrived at the por tico of the House of Lords, which adjoined that of the Corn. mons. A short halt was then made, the trumpets sounded, the sudden and unexpected clangor of which echoed through. out the long corridors. Both Houses had just finished prayers, and_ were proceeding to business, and, totally unconscious of the cause, several Members rushed to the entrance. The Bishop saluted all with royal dignity, the Volunteers presented arms, and the bands played the Volunteers' march. Of a sud den another clangor of trumpets was heard; the astonished Lords and Commons, unable to divine what was to ensue, or the reason of the extraordinary appearance of the Bishop, re tired to their respective chambers, and with great solicitude awaited the result. The Bishop, 'however, had done what he intended ; he had astonished both Houses, and had proved to them his principles and his determination—amidst the shouts and cheers of thousands, he proceeded to the Rotunda, where, in point of dignity and importance, he certainly appeared to surpass the whole of his brother delegates. He entered the chamber in the greatest form, presented his credentials, took his seat, conversed a few minutes with all the ceremony of a temporal prince, and then, with the excess of that dignified courtesy of which he was a perfect master, he retired as he had entered, and drove away in the same majestic style, and amidst reiterated applauses, to his house, where the Volun teers had previously mounted a guard of honour. He enter tained a great number of persons of rank at a magnificent dinner, and the ensuing day began his course amongst the Delegates as an ordinary man of business:, The East India Company's ship Canning arrived off Dartmouth the 4th inst., Failed from China the 25th of October, in company with the George the Fourth, arrived at St. Helena the 22d of January, and left there the 25th of the same month, in company with the George the Fourth. The Edinburgh arrived in China the 18th of August, and the Earl of Bulcarras the 16th of Sep tember. The Duchess of Athol was expected to be de spatched from China about the 16th Nov. General WOOD, the new Lieutenant of the Tower, in the place of Lord FREDERICK FITZCLARENCE. is an officer 70 years of age, and has held his present rank 14 years. The Gallant General is likewise Lieutenant- Governor of Kinsale. PRICE. OF STOCKS THI Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

It is stated this morning in the Ministerial circles that Earl GREY is determined to press the Irish remedial Bill with the same vigour as that for the suppression of disturbances in Ireland, and that he has announced his intention of re sisting every attempt at modification which shall in the slightest degree affect its principle. It is stated in letters from Rio Janeiro that his British Majesty's ship Gib was to sail from Rio Janeiro on the 27th ult., for the Falk land Islands, in order to take " sovereign pos session" of these islands in the name of his Britannic MAJESTY. Another report states that the object of the C/io's visit is merely to examine into their present condition, and report thereon. The first statement, however, is likely to be correct, for we remember that about six months ago, when a Lieutenant of the British Navy, who had been appointed as an agent for the disposal of land, by the soi disant Governor of the Falkland Islands, applied to Lord Go- DERICH to know whether he could proceed safety in the business of his agency, his Lordship replied that he could not do so, as the British Government laid claim to the islands in question. The person who now holds them is a Spaniard, who had large claims upon the Buenos Ayrean Government, which it dis charged by making him a grant of possessions to which it had no title. It is quite true, we understand, as stated in the city article of the Times, that an attempt is making by a particular party in the House of Commons, to force Ministers to some change in the currency ; but it does not appear that a club is to be formed for this purpose. Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD and his brother MAT THIAS, two gentlemen whose political opinions are so widely different that they were never known to agree on any one point except the currency, are at the head of this party. Mr. THOMAS ATTWOOD, it is said, some time ago, addressed a long paper to Earl GREY on this subject, and he has been indefatigable in his efforts to increase the number of his party, but he has not been very successful. The Morning Herald, alluding to the recent interview between Lord GODV.RICH and the Committee of West India Planters, says— " It is generally current in the city, that the West India Deputation, at the recent interview with Lord GonEßicH, did not have any actual measure placed before them, but were required to furnish their opinions upon certain subjects relative to the slaves, which they have since sent it]. The intended plan of Ministers how ever, rumoured to he—ist. The immeriiat: abolition of slavery in the colonies. 2d. The compensation to the slave owner, at a fixed rate per head, for every slave. 3d. The raising of a lean for such compensation, to b^ paid off in 30 years. 4th. The manumitted slave to be compelled by the magistrates to work five days out of the seven, except when in crop, when they would work for six days. sth. Two days' amount of wages to be deducted and paid into the compensation fund, it being considered the remaining three or four days, as the case may be, as to in crop or not, would he sufficient for the support of the slave. It is said the West India body are anxious to learn the extent of the compensation, upon which their approval will mainly rest. We give the above without vouching for its correctness, merely stating it has been ►mentioned in respectable circles." This is merely a repetition of what we stated in The Sun a few days ago, from a source on which we had reason to place reliance. We are now enabled to add, that although the West India Committee has expressed great readiness to accede to the principle of the abolition of slavery, they are not satisfied with some of the details of the Ministerial plan ; and, in consequence of their representations on the subject, Lord GODERICH has consented to modify it. ft is expected that in the course of a fortnight or three weeks, his Lordship will have made such progress with his measure as to be able to make a communication to Parliament respecting it. We have not yet heard whether the amount of compensation to the slave owners is to be at a fixed rate per head, without regard to locality, or to be determined by Commissioners, according to their value in the different islands. A return has been laid before the House of Commons, on the motion of Mr. ATTWOOD, showing the sums paid in and drawn out monthly by the Commissioners for the redemption of the National Debt, on account of Savings' Banks, and Friendly Societies, from the 28th January, 1832. It appears that, up to the 9th February, 1833, the total amount of principal paid in was 761,3681., whilst the amount drawn out was 1,264,1181. 7s. 7d., being a difference of about half a million. We are, however, in clined to hope that this result does not arise from any great deterioration in the condition of the contributors to Savings' Banks and Friendly Societies. The foundation of our hope is, that we perceive the greater part of the drawing out took place during the agitation of the Reform Bill, and chiefly when fears were entertained by all but ourselves of a Tory Ministry coming into power. This will be made clear by the follow ing extract from the account : United Kingdom. Principal Paid In. Principal Paid Out. .t. s. d. _£. s. d. Four Weeks to 1832, Feb. 25 58,385 0 0 55,985 0 0 Ditto March 24 46 : 8I1 0 8 93,747 17 8 Ditto April 21 23,447 0 0 107,534 4 4 Ditto May I ( 96,345 0 0 114,677 8 9 Ditto June It 3 25,515 0 0 238,976 19 3 Ditto July 14 47,574 0 0 140,632 19 9 The alarm was at its maximum during the ten days the Whig Administration was out of office. From that time the account shows a gradual increase in the sums paid in, till they amounted, for the four weeks ending 26th o f January last, to 111,7011., and for the two weeks ending February 9, to 72,4801., which, supposing the remaining two weeks are equally favourable, will give, for the last month, 144,9601. The principal paid out decreased every month in a corresponding manner, with the exception of the January month, which pre sents a slight increase upon that which preceded it, being 43,6661. 17s. 4,1., whilst that ending 29th December presented a sum drawn out of only 31,881/. 12s. 6d. Confidence, however, seems to have been quickly restored, for the two weeks ending 9th February present us only with a sum of 12,965/. drawn out. The shock experienced by the fund in the spring has never, however, been completely got over ; and it is to be feared that the poorer contributors, having been fright ened into drawing out their hard-earned savings, were afterwards tempted to spend the greater part of them. This indicates, however, but a small portion of the sum of loss and human misery which may be laid to the door of the reckless conduct of the Tories. HIS MAJESTY'S LEVEE.

A Court of Common Council was held this morning, at Guildhall, at which the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, seven Aldermen, the Sheriffs, and other City authorities were present. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and confirmed, the °Ricer of the Court reported that applications had been made to Parliament for Bills for the establishment of the South London Market, the South Metropolitan Gas-light Company, the London and Greenwich Railroad Company, the London and Birmingham Railroad, and the Gravesend Pier, when committees were appointed to watch the proceedings in the several bills before Parliament, and report the same from time to tune to this Court. A petition was presented by 134 deputy sea -coal metres, complaining of the operation of the new Coal Act in preventing them the opportunity of obtaining adequate employment, and soliciting compensation. The matter of the petition was under consideration when our reporter left. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) COLEMAN v. SMITHIES, &e. The LORD CHANCELLOR sat to-day in his Court at 10 o'clock, and, it being the fifth seal, he heard motions. The above causes occupied a considerable portion of time upon dis cussions respecting the costs. His Lordship promised to look back to his notes to ascertain what he intended on giving judg ment, and would then let the parties know. Nothing of any public interest came on in the course of the morning. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE GUIDE TO KNOWLEDGE.-CROUCHLEY t•. EDWARDS AND OTHERS. Our readers will recollect that, some time since, the plaintiff obtained an injunction restraining the defendant, who is the publisher of "The Guide to Knowledge," from publishing a map of London, which the plaintiff alleged was a piracy of a map published by him. Mr. ANDERSON this morning, on the part of the defendants, applied for the dissolution of that injunction, first, upon the ground of the want of copyright in the plaintiff; his map having been compiled, with the exception of a very small portion, from other maps ; secondly, that the defendants had not included in their map that part which had been attached to the plaintiffs from actual survey ; thirdly, the non-sienilarity between the two maps, that published by the defendants being much smaller ; and, lastly, that even if the plaintiff had the copyright, he had forfeited the protection given him by the Acts, in not having complied with the provisions, by putting the date of the publication on the snap. The Learned Coun sel contended that, independent of any other point, the omis sion of the date of the publication on the map, which was re quired by all the Acts on the subject, would at once entitle him to the dissolution of the injunction, leaving the plaintiff to seek his remedy at law. In support of that point, the Learned Counsel cited the cases of Newton and Cowie, Nicholson and Barfield, and several other authorities. Mr. KNIGHT, with whom was Mr. RICHARDS, on behalf of the plaintiff, contended that the Acts applied to prints and not to maps. His HONOUR could not see how it could be contended that there was no originality in the plaintiff's map on the ground of its being compiled from others. According to his under. standing of the case there had been a piracy by the de fendants, and the case would be clear for continuing the in junction but for the point which had been raised of the omis sion of the date of publication; there appeared so much ground however, for upholding the law laid down in the case of New ton v. Cowie, that although the Court agreed with the argu. mcnts of the Counsel for the defendant, that maps did not stand on the same ground as prints, yet it thought it right that the opinion of a Court of Law should be taken on the subject. His Honour would therefore continue the injunction, directing the plaintiff, forthwith, to brilig an action. Mr. KNIGHT, on behalf of the plaintiff, undertook to de liver a declaration of action within a fortnight, to be tried in the Court of Exchequer. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

The following was posted at the North and South American Coffee-house this morning : " Ship Colombia, off Penzance, March 2. " The wind being light, and our arrival at Portsmouth rather uncertain, 1 have forwarded you a few American papers. We left New York on the 10th ult., and have had a very stormy passage. Passing Scilly I observed a large ship on shore, ap parently an East Indiaman." By the above arrival New York papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 9th ult., but their contents are not of much importance. Also Quebec papers to the 2d of Feb., and Sydney to the 30th of Sept. BOSTON, FEB. 7.—A Philadelphia paper rejoices that the cloud of civil war has been arrested at the very moment it was about to burst upon us. It adds thus :—" The shock which has been expected with such fearful anxiety, has been, at least, for a while, averted. South Carolina has re ceded. Many of those who opposed all conciliation, as a de parture from the dynasty of the Government, will welcome, with joy, an act which removes the fear of bloodshed, and relieves the General Government from the necessity of severity. (From the Quebec Papers.) The New Orleans bulletin states that a gentleman, who ar rived from Mexico, states that order had been completely re stored in Mexico, General Pedraza having been placed at the head of the Government, and General Santa Anna having re tired to his seat in the country. YORK, UPPER CANADA—An important document, date .l the Sth of November, 1832, from his Majesty's Secretary of State for the Colonial Department, was laid before the Assem. bly by the Government, on the 19th inst., in answer to the petition carried home by Mr. M`Kenzie. It is stated it occu. pied two hours in reading it. It will probably give an insight into the views of the Ministry in matters interesting to all the North American Colonies. (From the Sydney Papers.) It is said the American ship Tyber was only sent out here on a speculation trip, for the purpose of establishing the right of the Americans to a free trade with this in common with the West India Colonies, and that we may look forward to visits from brother Jonathan. THE FUNDS. We understand that the Dutch funds, which were as high as 4634, have gone down to 45 This information has been received by the Flanders mail. A statement in a Morning journal, that Count Pozzo di Borgo has failed in his mission, we hear, is not correct. Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday, 88 fi for the Account. HALF•PAST ONE. The Funds are rather heavy this morning, which may be attributed to a prevailing opinion that Ministers do not intend to take off any of the taxes in their approaching budget, which will no doubt greatly disappoint the public, particularly the middle class of society and trades people who, in the present critical situation of commerce require some kind of relief. Consols, which were in the early part of the day at 88% for the Account have receded to 88 and for Money 88 to M, with little doing. In the Foreign Market little speculation except in Dutch Securities. THREE O'CLOCK Consols for the Account, 88 U %, MRS.

" 5111,.....1 beg leave to sugg.st, throu g h the medium of your columns, a very ready method to reify Ireland without coercion, arid also to restore the confidence of the country. I presume there is little doubt that the Howe of Lords will reject the " Irish Church Reform Bill" as proposed by Earl Grey, and, consequentty, thar He Lordship and Colleagues will then ' , sign. Now, we all know the anxiety of the ' 6 Great Captain" to return t.l office upon almost any terms. I would, therefore, suef est that his Majesty be petitioned to bond for the Duke, uho would assuredly accept the premiership, and undertake not only to bring in, but to carry successfully this sa'd " Irish Church Reform Bill," or any other Reform BA', provided he could but once mere occupy the high station I.n so ardently desires. I need not remind you, Sir, of the many obstacles to the passing of the Catholic Relief B 11— yet we saw how adroitly the Duke, with the assistance of the apostate Peel, managed that Bill, when they were in office. The country will nem forget the factious oppo sition to the Reform,Bills, by these two consistent states men, when out of office—and the perfect readiness with which the " Great Captain" was shortly afterwards dis posed to accept office, and bring forward a Reform Bill more efficient than that of Earl Grey's, which he (the Duke) hail voted against, and denounced as ,' horribly destructive! ! . I. ' Now, after all these acts of consistency, who can doubt his bring at thi+ time equally anxious (if in office) to reform the Irish Church—t! e fish Juries —to abolish tithes—adopt poor laws— yire employment to labourers—and otherwise ameliorate the sad c.ii.dition of the Irish generally, that he might with safety abandon the abominable Coercive Bill to the winos! ! ! Let us, there for-, petition his Majesty as above stated, end I will prog nosticate that his Grac • would accept office (perhaps wi• li out pay), and not only adopt all those remedial measuie. , , but would, if required, agree to impose a tax of 25 per cent. on the property of Irish absentees, or even upon all the real property of the high aristocracy in the United Kingdom. ~ T s+_~- fki * : :1 ONE OF THE DUKE'S SUPPORTERS. THAMES TUNNEL. The general annual meeting of this Company was held at the City of London Tavern, on Tuesday last, fur the purpose of receiving the report+ of the Auditors, Ens gineer, and Directors for the past year. The Auditors' report was not very favourable. It stated tbat the expenditure exceeded the income by 7001. per annum, and that the cash now in the hands of the Company was only 1,600/. The report of the Engineer (Mr. 13runel) stated that during the past year the mound, or artificial covering, which bad been formed in the middle of the river for the pr tection of the works had been removed, being no longer required, and also, that the quantity of water now cm:a.— ing the Tunnel was much less than heretofore, so much so, that instead of working the pumps nine hours per day, they were only required for three flows. " Most of the Proprietors (said the report) are, no doubt. aware that nearly all the water which has for some time been ad. muted into the Tunnel has been snppd ad by spritig49 and not by infiltration from the river, and that td prevent these springs from rising to the aurfac- of the bed of the river, anti thereby loosening the artifie al bed which had been formed, it was considered desi , able to admit them for a period into the Tunnel, and incur an ex t ,ense for pumping, rather than the ri+k ni injuring that solid mass of earth which protects the weeks."— Mr. Brunel also informed the m• sting, that the 600 feet which had been finished, was in a moot perfect state of repair; that there had not, been the slig‘:te•t sett]: rent Cati work, and that, amidst the trying circunistanr 8 through which they had pissed, there was,olie eonsola , iute to be found in the delay—that it bad Owen titre to prove the durability and solidity of the work they had completed. The report of the Doectois lamented that they cnu d not place before the Pr"prietors a more favourable account of the finances of the Company. It stated. that during the past year the Directors, through their Chairinr, Mr. Woolaston, had applied for assistance to the C , m(cf , s , oners for issuing Exchequer Bills as Loans to Poetic Works, and that, in their opinion, these applications had not bee& _ successful, on account of the peculiar nature of this un. dertaking not allowing them to enter into those arrange ments with the Commissioners, for the repaym-nt of the loans, which the Dii ectors of most public works were able to do; but that some of these difficulties would be re moved by the introduction of a clause into the Act of Parliament they sere now applying for, and which Act is necessary to extend the period for con; (sting the work. The new Directors, in the pl ice of those g ing nut by rotation, having been chosen, the other business of .he day completed, and thanks having been given to the Chairman, the meeting separated The Russian Ambassador and Princess LIE• TEN Rave a grind dinner party the evening before last, at Ashburnham House. Amongst the company present were Earl GREY and Lady GEORGIANA GREY, Count POZZO Di Bosco, Marquis and Marchioness of LcisnowNE, Marquis and Marchioness of CLANRICARDE, V;ieount MELBOURNE, Earl ansl Countess COVETER, Visc,unt FORD. WICII, Magni. and Marchioness of STAEFOKD, &c. Count Pozzo DI BORGO is expected to leave town this morning at an early hour. We learn, from a source on which we can place reliance, that his Excellency has failed in the special object of his mission, and I as ex pressed more than ordinary regret on this subject. Upon being asked by an intimate friend whether there was a probability of any settlement taking place of the Dutch and Belgic question, his Excellency is stated to have re plied, . 4 How is it posiible for any adjustment to take place so long as one party wished to have it all their own way?" We need scarcely add that the party alluded to is not Holland or her representative. Lady BROUGHAM gave her first party for the season on Monday evening. It was brilliant,- at tended. Amongst the company were, Count Pozzo DI BORGO, Prince TALLETRAND, Duchess de DINO, Princ, and Princess LIEVEN, Duchess of SUTHERLAND, Earl and Countess of JERSEY, Marquis and Marchiuness of STAF FORD, Marquis and Marchioness of LANSDOWNE, Lady L.

We are sorry to learn that the Soiree which was to have been given at the residence of the French Ambassador, Hanover-square, on Friday the 6th March, will not take place, in consequence of the slight indisposi tion of the Duchess DE DINo. Died, at half-past five on Tuesday morning, at Norwood, the Earl of DUDLEY, in the fiity.•econd year of his age. The Earldom and the Vi,counties of Dudley and Ward died with his Lordship. The Baronies of Dudley and Ward go, with an entailed estate of about 40004 per annum, to his cousin, the Rev. HUMBLE WARD. The Earl, by a will drawn up about two years ago, settled the rest of his estate, to the valor of 80.0001. per annum, on the eldest son of Mr. HUMBLE WARD ; but it is said that this will is to be contested by the heir-at• law, the Earl FERRERS. We hear that Mr. BANNERMAN, of Aber leen ; Mr. STEWART, of Alderson ; snd General SHAAFIC, have been required by their constituents to fulfil the pledge they gave of resigning their sears in Parliament, in conse quence of their having declined to support Mr. Huste in the abolition of sinecures. We expect soon to be aide to give copies of the correspondence that has arisen between these gentlemen and their friends in Scotland.
