Lo h ] ti e rALNIERSTON should bear in mind, that " British subjects are to be insulted and injured b 7 foreign Governments, the Ministry of which 61 3 a member must not be surprised if it should e Xeite a feeling of contempt in the minds of foreign rulers. The Government which cannot Protect its own citizens, can never hold a very hi gh rank in the estimation of either the Go /eroment or the people of another State. The Leeds Mercury of Saturday contains the following he statement, which, in our opinion, bars the stamp of truth : " Fro m many facts which we have heard , we are led ' i n believe that the subordinate o ffices under Government, ' o th at home and abroad, are, for the roost part, occupied t l P" 1 ° ,11 , who, having been appointed by former Ad inistrations, and on the old system, are very unfit to i b litt Y into effect the intentions of a liberal Ministry.

Such was the assurance given by Palmerston in January last to Messrs.

Mr- HOPPNER, the late Consul-General at Lisbon, neither a Tory nor a High Churchman, and Yet no redress was obtained by him in the case to Which we have alluded, for the best of all re asons, that when he had apprised Lord PAL 144sToN of the contemptuous denial of redress by 'Jon MIGUEL, the demand was allowed to "l ° e l ) ) although Mr. HOPPNER himself was 4114°4 to vindicate the character of the nation which he had been authorised to represent.

The honour of the nation is illneerned, and Lord PALMERSTOA cannot be permitted by the representatives of a free people a people descended from ancestors who made th e nam e of England great even in the most a 4 ,,espoti c states--to sacrifice their honour and th eir int eres t s a t the shrine of diplomatic courtesy. e exp ec t bett er things at the hands of Minis tersV who pledged themselves, on coming into ()i ke, to assert the dignity of the English cha t4eter at home and abroad. - The Morning Post of this day says— Previous to the final determination of the King of t Ntrlands kte consent of the et at Fran . 0 el_ 'le transfer of to a as portion of Luxemburg Di to Belgium, kfort it : 411 expected that the Conference of London would renew wt dificussions as soon as that request was made. It is A otv uowever, arranged, we understand, that the Con .er r 2?eo will not re-assemble until an affirmative answer is 'elved from the Diet. tt , 4' There are, we believe, seventy votes in the Diet, con h'tuted b vote States. The leading States of Germany .ad I ve fours each, those of the second class two each, the inferior Powers one each, In some instances two te three of the small Powers are united, in order to form ta e vote in the Germanic Confederation." The Post is mistaken as to the intentions of t e Conf erence . Th e Ki ng o f H O LLAND was i t l il f°rlned, that until he could produce the con 411t of the Diet to the transfer of a portion of L uxemburg to Belgium, the Conference would r lot resume the negociation with him ; but there fl as been no pledge given that the Conference would not act, in the event of any unseasonable delay, without him. There was, for instance, a meeting of the Conference, on SAturday, a t v 'hich some important questions were discussed, 44 (1 other meetings will follow without regard t° the convenience of the King of HOLLAND. With respect to the probable decision of the t l et, we need only observe, that as the majority °f the votes are under the influence of Austria 4114 Prussia, there can be no doubt of its being 11 the affirmative, provided Boland, Austria, 4114 Prussia, be all anxious for the early settle 111ent of the question ; but, if either of the se 1, °wers is anxious for delay, a little intrigu e will suffi ce to accomplish the object. S ome time back we thought it our duty to ad dress a few observations to the working classes . 11 the usel e s sne ss of the attempts of combina ,- i :P° 3 or un i ons to k ee p up a rate of wages 10 er than th e demand for labour would 1 t i h at I lrahy establish. We endeavoured to show b "I that th e e ff ec t o f such combinations must e ' l l' the end, t o i n j u re themselves. A proof of . t his may now be found in what is I~ing Place among the Staffordshire colliers. col umn be seen, by a letter in another & r , tl , lll n) from a Dudley correspondent, that the th cottEequence of the late strike among b colliers of that neighbourhood has b e the influx of coals from other quarters ; and our Correspondent says, that its next effect must be to cause a cessation of work in fifte en furnaces. This will throw more labourers into the market, and, of course, still further depress wages. But supposing that for a time the col liers are enabled to force the payment of higher wages than they have hitherto obtained, the masters must raise the price of their iron-ware. The furnaces may thus go on for a short time, without much apparent injury, but pre sently the other places, having equal facilities for smelting iron, will run away with the Dudley trade, when, of course, both furnaces and pit s must come to a stand still. Our correspondent says, " In Gloucestershire, and other counties, the dealers in coals are, to the detriment of this vicinity, drawing their supplies from Shropshire." They do so because they can thus get their supplies cheaper than in Staffordshire ; and if the iron trade follows the fate of the coal trade, the colliers will soon find that, along with their masters, they have ruined themselves. This is on the supposition that they succeed in their object ; but the probability is that the masters, after submitting to loss for some time, will obtain fresh hands from other quarters, and thus make the situation of the unionists worse than ever it has been. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of Wheat, Barley, and Beans, last week, were considerable, but of Oats very small. There was no variation in the trade from the previous Monday. This morning there is a fair fresh supply of Wheat, in better condition than last week ; and the finest descriptions have sold at the terms of this day se'nntght, but other qualities have met a heavy trade, though prices are not lower. The quantity of Barley at market last week was large, and the trade was very heavy, but today their being little fresh up, the best qualities have well supported last quotations. Beans remains at the terms of last Monday, with a fair sale. Pease of both kinds are unaltered. Oats are in limited supply, and such as are dry and sweet are rather dearer, and other qualities maintain last quotations. The Flour trade is dull at last prices. PRICES ON BOA RD 01. SHIP.

Charles Mathews, the comedian, whilst he was " At Home" with his friends at Cheltenham, received a Deputation from the Authorities at Oxford, entreating that he would give the Gownsmen of the University a " touch of his quality," previous to his return to the me tropolis. The invitation of these " sage grave men" was too flittering to be resisted, and accordingly he dispelled the gloom of the cloisters during three evenings. The large assembly room was, on each occasion, attended by the fashionable and dignified residents of Oxford. Extract of a letter from Pampeluna :—" All communications between this and Iron are interrupted, and it is probable we shall not for a long while be able to heir from your quarter, or, indeed, from any other. Had I not met with the courier, who will hand you this, I don't know bow I should have m anage d to convey you any intelligence of our situation.

Officers have been commissioned to ascertain the number of ho rses i n th e town which the Gov ernor could dispose of in case of necessity." Several projects are said to be in contempla tion for the improvement of the public morals of Paris. In the first place, it is reported that the licenses of the gaming-hot.ses are not to be renewed after the expiration of the present term ; that the minimum of the sums allowed to be ventured in the lottery is to be again con siderably augmented ; and it is also said that after the Ist January ladies of a certain character are not to be allowed to parade the streets and public walks. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) HEARING OF MOTIONS. Today the Court proceeded to bear motions, and a long list appeared of the motions now pending, according to their dates. The LORD CHANCELLOR, upon taking his seat, and seeing the list, complained of its inaocuracy. When on Saturday be intimated that he would proceed with the hearing of the motions, he most distinctly stated that it was the list of motions which was left unheard when the Court rose for the recess that was now to be taken, but that no new list of motions was to be made out. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said, that the list which had been delivered out had put the whole of the Bar to sea. Mr. FRY, the Registrar, observed, that the list contained a correct statement of the motions that were unheard at the rising of the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR was quite sure that that was not so. He named several cases in the paper that had been beard before the vacation, stating likewise the very days of the week on which they had been heard, and concluded by directing that the identical list which he himself had bad before the recess, should be found for him for hie present use. NUGENT V. NUGENT. This part-heard motion occupied a considerable part of the morning in further discussion. It was an appeal from an order made by his Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, di recting Lady Nugent (a married woman) to deliver up, or cause to be delivered up, a certificate of Libranza, and to give a certain hood of indemnity for the payment of money. The arguments were put an end to by the proposition of a gentleman behind the bar. fie ap. peared for Mr. Cock. He had been the means both of instituting the suit, and of c4rrying it on to an available issue, upon an agreement with some parties interested in the cause, that he should have ten per cent. on the amount of the money recovered for his trouble, &c. 2,8001. had been recovered. He was in possession of the Libranza. He was now willing that it should be referred to the Master to inquire what ought to be paid to him for the trouble and expense he had been at, and that upon being paid the amount which might be reported to be due to him, he would deliver up the document. Lady Nugent ac kt,owledged the agreement, and was willing to consent to this arrangement. The LORD CHANCELLOR could not act upon any claim of ten per cent. being allowed on what might be recovered in any suit. That was a sort of agreement which ought not to be heard of in a Court of Justice, nor, peobably, anywhere else. The BARRISTER said that Mr. Cock was not a solicitor, but a commercial agent, and he submitted that such an agent was at liberty to enter into an agreement of that de scription out of Cour t. He had been put to great expense ; much of his time bad been occupied by the conduct of this suit, and it would be extremely hard if he were now to be left remediless. Mr. JACOB, on behalf of Sir J ,mes Nugent, assented to such a termination of the present proceedings, and Sir EDWARD &win/4 also agreeing to it on the other side, The CotraT ordered that it should be referred to the master to inquire and state what ought properly to be allowed to Mr. Cock, including his costs ; that all the other parties should have their costs out of the fund ; and that the fund should not be taken out of Court until after the master had made his report. His Lordship observed that if the case had proceeded, he should have felt great difficulty in ordering a married lady to enter into any indemnity that must have been against common law policy. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY. EDMONDS V. DOWNES. This was an action upon a promissory note, tried before Mr. Baron GURNEY, at the late asmizes for the county of Salop, when a verdict was fouud for the plaintiff— Damages 100/. Mr. JERVIS, King's Counsel, now moved for a rule to show cause why that verdict should not be set aside, and the amount of the verdict paid into Court to abide the event of the rule. The bill was dated January 19, 1 8 19 . There was an endorsement on it, dated in March, 1826, in the handwriting of the defendant, stating that the inte rest was paid up to that date; that, however, would not take the case out of the Statute of Limi tations, which was pleaded, as the action was not commenced till after March in the present year. The plaintiff relied upon a letter which was stated to have been written in October, but there was no date upon it, and he contended, that if parole evidence was admitted to prove the date of a paper, the statute of 6th Geo. IV., would be rendered nugatory. He further contended that the letter was not a promise such as was required by the Court ; for though it said in the opening—" I will pay you both principal and interest, as soon as convenient," it went on to say, " that he would pay no wore interest until a final settlement of the accounts had taken place. He cited the case of Janner and Smith as one strongly iu point, and The Court granted a rule Nisi. STOKES V. WHITE. This action was tried before the Lord Chief Baron, at the London Sittings after lost term, when a verdict was found for the plantiff, damages 101. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD this morning applied for a rule to show cause why a nonsuit should not be entered or the judgment arrested. The plaintiff was an attorney re siding in Guernsey, and the defendant one of the side clerks in the Exchequer, who was engaged as agent to re cover a sum of money from Stokes. He sued out a writ of special capias of privilege, which was given to an officer, who arrested him in Bristol, to which place he had come to attend a trial ati the assizes. He brought his action on the ground of his having been arrested against his pri vilege, both as an attorney and as a witness. The Learned Sergeant contended that the question of privilege as an attorney was settled by the cases of Cameron v. Lightfoot, and Walker r. Rushberry, reported in Sir Wil liam Blackstone's book, where it was loid down, that a clerk in that Court had a perfect right to . arrest an at • torney, for his privilege, set against the privilege of the other, rendered it null. Then, as to the other question, the privilege of a witness, Mr. White was surely not liable for the act of the officer. He had sued out a proper writ, which was placed in an officer's hand ; and then, he contended, the defendant's liability ceased, as he was in London, and not setting the officer's in motion at the time the privilege existed. Rule granted. ROBINSON V. BAMFORD. This was an action winch already has been before two Juries; the first time a verdict was found for the plaintiff, and the last time, which was before Mr. Baron Bayley at tie late Croydon assizes, the verdict was the other way, 11r. Sergeant Andrews now moved for a rule to show cause why there should not be another trial, on the ground of the verdict being totally against the evidence. The plaintif, Mr. Robinson, is a putleman of pi operty, re siding at Great Bulked in Essex. He was acquainted with an attorney, named Keeling, who bad been cast in heavy penalties for usury. Keeling went to the plaintiff, and stating that he was in distress induced bin to pur chase his furniture, but without telling him that he was selling it fur the purpose of avoiding payment of the de fendant. The sale took place early in May, when possession was given to the plaintiff, but as he had to dispose of his house in the country, he allowed Keeling to reside in the house till the Ist of June, when the defendant seized. All this was proved at the trial, and the defendant did not call upon a single witness, yet the Jury almost instantly found a verdict for the de fendant. Mr. Baron BAYLEY said be moie readily granted the application, because o❑ the trial el letter was sent to him respecting the case, and ca , .ting imputations upon the plaintiff and his friends. Rule Nisi granted. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY COLLEY V. KEYNIAR AND OTHERS. This was an action of trover, to recover the price of cer tain parcels of indigo, which had been purchased by Messrs. Nevett of Liverpool, from the defendants for the plaintiff, who had paid Nevetts for them. It appeared that before the indigo was delivered out of the defendants' hands to be trans ferred to the plaintiff, the house of Nevett failed, at which time Nevetts were indebted to the defendants, who, in con sequence, refused to deliver up the indigo to the plaintiff. The plaintiff; under the direction of the Lord Chief Jus tice, who tried the cause at the sittings after last tern} in London, was nonsuited, leave being given by his Lordship to move the Court upon certain reserved points why a verdict should not be entered for the plaintiff for the sum of 2991. Mr. F. POLLOCK this morning moved for a rule calling on the defendant to show cause why a verdict should not be en tered for the plaintiff for 2991. The four chests of indigo were sold to the plaintiff through Nevett, in July, and the invoices were delivered but not the warrants. At that time in the running account between the defendants and Nevett, their was a balance in favour of the latter, and that balance continued in favour of Nevett until October, when, from some of Nevetts' bills becoming dishonoured, the balance turned ma terially in favour of the defendants. As, however, when the four chests were purchased, the defendants were indebted to Nevetts, the Learned Counsel contended, that the defendant s were bound to deliver them to the plaintiff; because, if Nevetts had in July demanded them and been refused, they might have been able to maintain an action of trover for them if there fore, Wevetts could have maintained trover, it must be clear that the plaintiff as principal was entitled a►so to recover. Their Lordships said they would take time to consider their judgment. 8739 PERRY V. MAY AND ANOTHER. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, for the defendants, applied for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial in this case. It was an action to recover 1,6601. for repairing a house belonging to Lord Winterton. The plaintiff was a carpenter, and the defendants were architects, and by an agreement be tween them the plaintiff was to stand in defendants' shoes as to the profits, but that the defendants were to receive the money from his Lordship, and, when received, to be payable to the plaintiff. The plaintiff contended that the defendants had broken their agreement, and brought his action against them. The defence was that Lord Winterton had not paid them, and therefore the money was not payable to the plaintiff: The Jury had found a verdict for the plaintiff, which he (the Soli citor-General) contended was contrary to the agreement. The Court granted a rule to show cause. BLUSTER AND ANOTHER, ASSIGNEES OF HILL, V. PRITCHARD. This was an action to recover some property alleged to have been transferred by the bankrupt to the defendant, in contem plation of bankruptcy, and a verdict was found for the plaintiffs. Sir JAMES SCARLETT now moved, on behalf of the defendant (upon a point reserved by the Lord Chief Justice), for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a ver dict entered for the defendant. It was proved that the de. fendant had been apprenticed to Hill, and on the expiration of his apprenticeship his aunt, wishing to set him up in busi ness, and Hill wishing to dispose of his business, with a view of retiring, the aunt purchased it for the defendant, paying the full value for it. There was no question of the sale having been a bona fide one on the part of the defendant and his aunt, but after Hill got the money he absconded to America. It was contended for the plaintiffs that the sale was a fraud on the part of Hill towards his creditors, but Sir James Scarlett contended, with much confidence, that the sale was not in fraud of the creditors, because as Hill got the full value of his goods, he was in as good a condition to pay his creditors as he was before. The running away afterwards with the money might be an act of bankruptcy, but that did not do away with the legality of the previous sale to the defendant. Their Lordships thought it was a case which deserved con sideration, and granted a rule Nisi. THE KING W. THE PARISH OFFICERS OF HALSTEAD, ESSEX: Mr. JESSOP moved for a mandamus directed to one of the parish officers of Halstead, Essex, commanding him to concur in making a rate for the relief of the poor. The parish was a very populous one, and had a great number of poor who would be now wholly unprovided for, but for the advances which some of the parish officers made out of their private funds. It appeared that a rate had been agreed to by a large majority of the parishioners assembled in vestry, but owing to one of the parish officers refusing to concur in it, the Magistrates assembled in petty sessions could not allow it, and the consequence was that there was no rate for the relief of the numerous paupers. The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE said that possibly the objectins of the one dissentient might be very tenable, and therefore it would not be the most prudent course to issue a mandamus against him only. The best way would be to issue a mandamus against the parish officers generally, commanding them to make a rate, and then the Court would see what return was made to it. Mr. JESSOP consented to take his motion in that form, but hoped, as the case was very pressing, the mandamus might issue forthwith. Their Lordships ordered it to issue immediately. Mr. PRICE, on being called on, said he had a very urgent motion to make, but he had not his papers now with him. It was, that a prohibition might issue to restrain the execution of a sentence of Courtmartial. He only mentioned it now that he might be able to bring it on early. The Court passed the Learned Counsel over, until his papers had arrived. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

Montreal Papers to the 6th October, and Quebec Papers to the 4th October, have been received at the North and South American Coffee.house. A meeting has been convened in the town of Hamilton, Upper Canada, to prepare an address to the Provincial Legis. lature on the necessity of establishing a bank company, by the name of Gore Bank ; the capital to be 100,0001. (From the Quebec Papers.) . . His Excellency the Governor in Chief is expected to .. - arive in Montreal this day from his visit to Upper Canada. TUE LOWER CANADA LAND COMPANY.—LettPis from Lon don have put an end to all doubts on this Company's going into immediate operation ; the Colonial Office have come to an understanding on the price of the land to be sold to the Com pany ; the number of acres is 550,0e0, at 3s. per acre for the un. surveyed, and 3s. 6d. for the surveyed, one half of the money to be laid out on the roads. Accounts have been received from Jamaica, via New York, to the 15th ei September. The crops throughout the island promise well, and the slaves were perfectly quiet. A letter from Bordeaux, dated Oct. '2% at eight o'clock in the evening, states, that Merino is surrounded in a village by three hundred Calabineers, and there is no doubt that he will be made prisoner. The New York packet ship South America is arrived off Liverpool, in seventeen days. The letters and papers have not as yet been received. We have no later intelligence from Lisbon at present than the accounts brought by the Athol to the 29. d tilt. ; by which it appears that the Miguelites are going to fall back on Elvas, where they would have a rallying point for the Carlists from Spain, and also be furnished with supplies. There has been some smart skirmishing. On the 14th, 18th, and 19th, at Villa Franca, a Miguelite post was defended by 2,000 of their troops, and after Don Pedro's troops were repulsed in the attempt to carry it, the Irish Brigade took it by the bayonet, under the command of Major Anthony. THE FUNDS. We have no arrivals as yet of any importance. The express from Paris only brings us confused accounts of what is passing in the north of Spain. At Madrid it appears that several lives have been lost in disarming the Royalist Volunteers. Consols, which left off on Saturday at 88 to I for the Ac count, opened this morning at 877/ s to 88, owing to the French Funds coming near one per cent. lower. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Bonds rather higher, 23N ; Portuguese Stock, 60 to 3. In other Foreign Securities little doing as yet. HALF .PAST-TWELVE. A purchase has just been made in Consols of 120,000, which has had the effect of keeping the market steady at 88 to for the Account. We have accounts from Rio Janeiro, two days later than the the last. Exchange on London 41 lA. All was tranquil there. The Finance Minister has it in contemplation to make a loan in this country of 1300,0001. to pay off the Sinking Fund. HALF-PAST ONE. We are still without any arrivals from Portug4l, to the great disappointment of the merchants and speculators in the City; and the Dutch Mail also continues due, in consequence of which we have no news or reports. Consols, which were in the early part of the day at 88 for the Account, may be quoted at present 88 3‘, to i, with little doing. In the Foreign Market, Portuguese Regency Stock, 60f ; Spanish, 2.31 ; Dutch Stock, 561 to t. In other Foreign Se curities little or nothing doing. THREE O'CLOCK Consols for the Account, BSI to I.

We stop the press to give publication to a letter received by William Fagan, Esq., (the appointed chairman of the dinner,) from Mr. O'Connell, announcing his intention of being here on the 4th, and two or three hours before dinner time. The letter will be read with interest, inasmuch as it puts an end to the rumours of Mr. O'Connell being about to take office under the present Ministry. Darrynane Abbey, Oct. 26, 1833. Div Damn Sue,—l should have replied to your letter, but that I had answered it by anticipation. I beg leave now to inform you, that it is not my intention to be in Cork before Monday, the 4th, but I will take care to be in town a courle of hours before dinner time—say about three o'clock. I have had my two months' play-days, and I am as ready and as willing as ever to agitate for Old Ireland. We must get every parish to petition for abolition of tithes, total and unequivocal; and, above all, and before all, for Re peal. The experience of the last session proves to me two things,—First, that Irishmen lose much of their value when transported out of their own country; and, secondly, that there is an anti-Irish feeling so predominant amongst the English Members, as to render them totally unfit to legislate for Ireland. I cannot describe the insolence of this anti-Irish sentiment. They would treat us, truly, with kindness and compassion, if we would only consent to be mere slaves; but, if we attempt to dispute their right to be our masters, why then coercion, courts-martial, and gagging are to be re. sorted to. I never was a bitter Repealer until I was made so by the conduct of the " Reformed Ministry, and Reformed Parliament." Before the Coercion Bill, I looked upon the " Repeal" as a means, and not as the end to be sought. I now know that there are no means of serving Ireland, or of giving Irishmen the security of self-protection, save a domestic legis lature. Before the Coercion Bill I did believe a compromise possible. To be sure I thought, although possible, yet so highly improbable, that its possibility existed principally in metaphysical contemplation. But the Coercion Bill con vinced me that nothing solid, substantial, or paramount could, in the nature of things, be done for Ireland, without an Irish Parliament. Indeed, I take the Coercion Bill to be the test to try men's souls. He who forgets or forgives the Coercion Bill is, in my mind, a miscreant Irishman, upon whom harsh words are thrown away. He should never be trusted. That Bill was I the grossest insult ever offered by proud domination to a power. less, because an unorganized, divided, and unprotected people. I know nothing more daring in principle, as a violation of na- tional rights, perpetrated upon Poland by Russia, than the per petration of the coercion law by the British Ministry and their minions in Ireland. Yet how comparatively harmless is the Act, as passed, com pared with the Bill as brought into the House of Lords, by that noble patron of his family, Lord Grey, and by his equally consistent compeer, Lord Brougham ; and yet the newspapers in both countries amused their readers by gr avely stating that I was about to take office under these men. Give me an Administration that will impeach Stanley and Lord Anglesea, and then, indeed, possibly I may think of accepting office, if I see that by so doing I can serve Ireland more than by standing out to watch the proceedings even of that Administration. This is my first act of renewed agitation—l raise the peace ful, the consitutional, the ever unstained and bloodless standard of REPEAL—I nail the colours to the mast. Repeal, nothing short of Repeal—Repeal, undisfigured and undisguised by any one partizan or sectarian feeling. Repeal, not for sectarian or party ascendancy, but for all the people, of every class, grade, sect, and persuasion. Repeal—to secure the possessions of the rich, and to reward the industry of the poor. Repeal—to establish the equality of the civil rights of all Christians, and to promote the genuine spirit of Christian charity amongst them—a spirit which cannot exist in genuine purity wherever one sect is placed in superiority over another. Repeal—to enable us, as a nation, to express our scorn and detestation of the coercionists, and to render it impossible again to deprive us by Act of Parliament of the protection of a civil consti. Our means to procure " the Repeal" daily accumulate—the Protestants are joining the Catholics—the Dissenters are com bining with the rest of the Irish nation ; Sharman Crawford gives us strength in the north, where we were weak. Yes, we will repeal the Union. Yes we will re-establish the Irish parliament by the peaceable, legal, and constitutional combination of Irishmen, to which legislators yield, in order to obey a sentiment not to be resisted, because universal Ire. land will set another example to the natioils of the world of the mode in which great political changes ought to be brought about—that is, without a crime or an offence—without sacrifice of property ; and, above all, without one drop of blood. I have the honour to be, my dear Sir, your faithful and obliged servant, DANIEL O'CONNELL. Wm. Fagan, Esq. THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—We understand that at a recent meeting of the Directors of the Mecha nics' Institution, a letter from Lord Brougham to th, President, Benjamin Heywood, Esq., was read, in which his Lordship expressed the gratification it will afford to him to be present at a meeting of the subscribers to the Institution, on his return to the north at Christmas. We believe that the meeting has been fixed to take place on the 234 of December, when the usual prizes will be dis tributed.—Manchester Chronicle., DON CARLos.—(From a second edition of the Wakefield JournaI.)—WAKEFIELD, TIL LT USDA V NIGHT.—Much doubt has prevailed of Lite respecting the " whereabout" of Don Carlos, and the whole host of cor respondents of the London papers have been at fault on subject. We ha,e just been favoured, however, with the sight of a letter to a highly respectable gentleman re siding in the neighbourhood of Wakefield, a magistrate of the West Riding of the county, from a Lieutenant on board the Castor frigate, who states that that vessel takes out Don Carlos from the Tagus to Rome. _ The Judges at Boulogne have decided that Mr. Long Wellesley is liable for the debts Mrs. Wellesley has contracted in Calais, as well as for those which she may hereafter contract. We hear from good authority that the stay of the Court at Brighton will not exceed the 20th of Fe bruary. The King rises every morning regularly at eight o'clock. His Majesty passes his mornings in busi ness connected with the affairs of the State, and in tlt e afternoon he takes an airing for two or three hours. The King retires for the night generally at eleven. DUBLIN, OCT. 31.—Colonel Blacker, ex- Deputy Irish Treasurer, has been dismissed from the Com mission of the Peace for the county of Armagb. Dean Carter had been previously superseded. The men who accompanied Captain Ross in his late expedition, although at first privately engaged, are, we understand, to receive an allowance, amounting to double pay, from the Government. This gift, calculating the time of service, will give each man about 2001. EXTRAORDINARY HIGH TIDE IN THE RlVER.—Saturday morning, about a quarter past four o'clock, in consequence of the extraordinary and unusual height to which the title rose in the river, the lower parts of the houses on the bank of the river at the following places, eiz., Bankside, Holland-street, the lower part of the Strand, Abingdon-street, Stangate, Lambeth, and Vaux hall, were completely inundated to the depth of, in man) instances, several feet. The inmates of the houses were thrown into a state of indescribable confusion and alarm, and were awoke out of their sleep by hearing a trecnen. dons noise below stairs, and, o❑ getting up to ascertain the cause, they discovered the water rushing in in all direc tions, and chairs, tables, &c., floating about in their kitchens. It appears that the water flowed up the sewers with such violence that many of the drains were burst open, and the flood then poured into the houses in such torrents that even doors whirls were securely fastened were burst open, and considerable damage was occasioned. In some of the houses where the kitchens were occupied as sleeping apartments many narrow escapes of the loss of human life occurred, some of the inmates being awoke by finding themselves immersed in water, which then reached above their bedsteads. We, however, believe that no serious catastrophe transpired. The premises of 1 1Ir. Long, of Northumberland-street, Strand, baker, were completely flooded, and the water rushed so suddenly into the bakehouse that one of the journeymen got into the dough-trough for safety. Mr. Peters, the butcher, at Charing-cross, bad a sheep drowned, and it was extremely fortunate that that was the only one left in the slaughter-house. At Lambeth Palace the cellars were filled to the depth of between eight and nine feet ; and along the Bishop's-wail:, where lately has been erected a vet) , strong iron railing, nearly three inches in diameter, let into some solid masonry, based upon brick-work, the tide poured in with such over whelming force and rapidity that the iron•work wa snapped in many places, and the massive stone and brick work, together with a great portion of the bank, to the• extent of between ten and twelve yards, swept away into the river. Luckily no persons were passing at the time, or their destruction must have been inevitaWe. The oldest waterman on the river does not recollect the tide reaching ever• so high before, or indeed any thing near to it. It is described as one of the spring tides which are occasional in the river, but has appeared touch earlier than usual, which is said to prognosticate a winter of unusual severity. The General Steam Navigation Company's packet, the Mountaineer, sailed on Wednesday from Shore-' ham harbour, and returned on Tuesday evening. The chain pier having received such repairs as to enable pas sengers to land and embark with perfect safety, and with out the least inconvenience, the packet will come alongside of it as before, instead of going from Shoreham harbour as has been done since the late accident. Among the pas sengers who arrived were Air. Hope, M.P. for Gloucester ; Mr. Austen, Mr. and Mrs. H. King, Dr. Urs, ace,— Brighton Herald. DRURY•LANE THEATRE. Miss TREE'S Rosalind ind Mr. MAcarAny's Jaques. in As You Like It, attracted an excellent house here on Saturday night. The l a dy performed the part of the fair nfoersess,tearndwith sung much the c e ha rac r e m , sprightliness,ing ballad " When daisies pied" with such agreeable expression, that 'she was warmly enchored. MACREADY'S Jaques was a thnuehtful, intel lectual piece of acting. We never heard the " Seven Ages" more appropriately delivered. Mr. Coovxa was respectable as Orlando, and HARLEYPOMEWhat too much of a caricaturist as Touchstone. The other characters were passably represented. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. Mist; ATirmsox mule her second appearance here on Saturday night as Rosina in the Barber of Seville. She sang with much skill and sweetness, sod gave the well known " With grief no longer bending" in such a brilliant and masterly style as to call forth a unanimous encore, which continued even after the curtain had fallen. This young lady evinces considerable promise, and will, with care and close study, become an acquisition to the stage. Her third appearance was announced for to.morrow (Toes day), amidst general applause. The house was well filled at half price; and the striking scene in the last act of the Ferry and the Mill went off with the usual eclat. COURT CIRCULAR.
