say, that whatever might he the issue, they would submit not only without repining, but with pleasure, to any measures that might be resolved upon—because they had s full con fidence in the wisdom of his Majesty's Ministers, and in their honesty of purpose, which assured them that n . o change would be determine d u p on without due consi deration, nor adopted without a firm conviction that it would be conducive to the general welfare of the commu nity. Their excsllent representative for the Northern division bad alluded to the approaching Corporation Re form as a "consummation devoutly to be wished," as the final stroke, as the death blow, that was to destroy the monster Toryism. But (the Mayor went on) I must say, that Toryism bag been extirpated in our corporation already. --(Cheers.) Venomous reptiles generally have a tinge of " green" about them ; bu t " our" body is all "blue." --(Much laughter and cheering.) In the pride of my heart, I cannot help telling you, that the Premier of Eneland not only accepted the freedom of the city of Durham, but of the companyof which my friend, Mr. Burlinson, and myself are members. We did nut seek to do ourselves the honour of enrolling his illustrious name among our members, on account of his high rank or eminent station, but as a testimony of our gratitude to him, and to those who, with him, so bravely fought the battle of reform, and so gloriously won it.—(Loud sheers.) Mr. Young concluded by saying that he and a number of his brother Reformers had gladly come to Sunderland to join the people of that town in paying a deserved tribute of respect and gratitude to the virtues, character, and services of their noble guest, which they so justly merited, and sat down amidst thunders of ap plause. Mr. KIRKALDY proposed " The Reformers of Gates head." Mr. BROCKFTT-00 the part of the Reformers of Gateshead, I beg to return you my and their most sincere and heartfelt thanks for the compliment you have con ferred upon us this night. I assure you Ido not speak in the language of selfishness or flattery when I tell you there is no community in this empire more firmly atteehed to the constitution and institutions of the country, none more interested in the prosperity of those institutions, and none more determined to uproot the abuses that exist in them, than the community of Gateshead.—(Cheers.) They have been charged with being a violent, democratical, and revolutionary body ; but I can fearlessly refer you and my country to the history of their political acts, to show whe ther they have ever, in any one instance, in their united and political capacity, advocated one principle that his Majesty's Government has not been proud to boast of, and which the country has not confirmed by its unani mous and omnipotent voice.—(Loud cheers.) Obscure and debased as the borough of Gateshead was represented to be, many of you, perhaps, who feel an interest for the welfare of the community at large, may have paid some attention to the discussions to which its claims to represen tation gave rise in the House of Lords. Upon that ques tion, and at that critical moment, the noble guest whom you this day entertain came forward as the champion and defender of the people of Gateshead--the unsolicited champion of the people of Gateshead ; for never, I defy any man to say, was one word of application or solicita tion sent to that Noble Lord, to advocate their cause.— (Cheers.) No, be knew what they had done, and the principles upon which they had acted—he knew their hatred of Toryism, and of the enemies of their country-- and he came forward, as a grateful man and a patriot, to assert the rights of those who had fought for him and his country, and were entitled to a voice in the representa tion.—(Cheers.) There is only one circumstance of regret connected with the late visit of the Noble Earl to our borough—the reception he experienced from a most unworthy, contemptible, insignificant, and pitiful party --those harpies (as the Globe newspaper, the Editor of which is a very talented and independent man, properly expresses it) —those harpies who, like their predecessors of old, attempt to destroy every banquet they cannot en joy—'Cheers and laughter)--is did Mr. Attwood—that notorious personage in the political history of Gateshead, whowe adventures were so truly portrayed in the Durham Chronicle of last week—and his myrmidons of Blacken street and the Swalwell band, who have lately, I under stand, been applying for payment of their services in Gateshead ; but the ungrateful paymaster—who, I have PO doubt, is Chancellor of the Exchequer in expectancy —refused to issue Exchequer bills for that purpose.— (Laughter.) Such was the composition of the party that opposed the entrance of Lord Durham into the room where bus friends were assembled to meet him. That they were electors of Gateshead I declare to be a falsehood in the face of the world.—(Cheers.) It is a fabrication to say that they were electors of Gateshead, or represented any portion of the electors. They issued their anonymous hand-bill—their fire and faggot proclamations from the office of the NewcastlePress—(A laugh)--for the purpose of assembling all the ragamuffins of the neighbourhood ; and " the neighbourhood" was the party, not the people of Gateshead.—(Cheers.) I am sorry to trespass on your attention; but there is one subject which I am anxious to mention to this highly respectable assemblage of the inhabitants of Sunderland. The Tories—those overgrown enemies of the people—pretend, in the purity of their hearts and the humility of their imaginations, they are vain enough, I say, to suppose they have persuaded the people that the measures which were carried during the last Session of Parliament were measures of concession from their mighty highnesses.—(A laugh.) But I say, that if any measures were pissed in which concessions were made, those concessions were from the people to them, and not from them to the people.—(Cheers. ) I hope and trust that spirit of concession, between power on the one hand arid the people on the other, may still be continued, and those fatal consequences averted, which will be the inevitable result of such political blindness. But woe to that power which would attempt to force the people into that concession! It is a spontaneous and not an extorted principle. I augur wed from the conduct of your noble guest ; and trust that, in his prophetic words, we shall live to see that conciliatory spirit reciprocally acted upon, that the powers of every branch of the Constitution and the powers Df the people may to pre• served in their pristine purity anti vigour.—(Cheers ) After some remarks on t' subject of Corporation Reform end the conduct of the Corporation of Newcastle, M,. Brockett sat down amidst the continued plaudits t f the company. Mr. RUSSELL Bowmir proposed " The Liberty of the Press." He agreed with Mr. Lambton that the Press, to be useful, must be virtuous. He blamed not the pitiful rascal wbo sold his filthy trash to drag out a wretched existence, but those who read his productions, and thus contributed to degrade and demoralise the Press. If every roan would say he would not read that which was false and scandalous, there would soon be an end to the licen tiousness by which the press bad of late been disgraced. Lord DURHAM, in rising to propose the health of the chairman, expressed his regret that the order in which the toasts had been arranged, had precluded him from having the pleasure of introducing it to their notice at an earlier period of the evening. To those, said the Noble Earl, who have known my Hon. Friend, it would be bliss in me to expatiate on the many qualities that endear him to us all--upon the integrity, probity, and cordial feeling towards his neighbours, which have distinguished him through life—that character which pointed him out, amongst a respectable and intelligent community, as the Net fitted to perform the responsible duties of returning offier for your borough ; and I believe I may apped to the experience of you all, whether he has not, under the most trying circumstances, fully justified the high eulogium which Ws a ppointment conveyed.—(Cheers.) As to my self, I h a t; peculiar satisfaction in proposing his health. I have been p et •sonally indebted to him for strenuous sup port in the most a:duous times; and I cannot omit the recollection of the many services my family has received from his. I am happy to kake this opportunity of express ing my gratitude to him ; and T will conclude by saying he must have felt a proud satisfaction in being as unanimously placed in the chair of this meeting, as ise was almost una nimously designated as the individual who could best give effect to your wishes in his official capacity as your return ing officer.—(Cheers.) When he looks around him, he may see the members of biz family enjoying an honourable independence in various parts of the kingdom, each at the bead of his profession in the place where be resides, all equally respected, all equally enjoying the .confidence of their fellow citiuns, and all alike placed far above the reach of those calumnies which proceed from &debased and ruffian pr ess , b u t which can give no pain when those against whom they are directed have the happiness of be ing supported by such friends as he new IMO around him. _(Cheers.) I will say no more t h an t o reque st you to drink with enthusiasm th e h ea l t h o f my exce ll e nt friend in the chair. The toast was drank with most en th us i as ti c c h e ers. ....a The CHAIR 3 I AN t is impossible for me to return thanks in adequate terms for the manner in which the Noble Earl has proposed the toast. I feel grateful to the Noble Lord for the manner in . which he has expressed himself towards toe and those with whom I am connected. I fear it is much too flattering f ish w deserts, I "ill only say--and I think I may say it with truth—that in every 'situation in which I and the members of my family ma) be placed, we endeavour to our duty, however, perhaps, in many cases, we may not succeed. Mr. ROBERT FERWICIC proposed the health of Mr. alph Lambton, which was drank with enthusiastic accla ration', a 'The health of the 'like Presidents" followed, and Mr. 041 DIN returned thanks. Lord DURHAM proposed " The Rector of the parish— the Rev. Dr. Wellesley." Mr. J. Ammo! . proposed " The Coal Trade." Mr. Alms gave " The Reformers of Durham," and Mr. FAWCETT acknowledged the compliment. Mr. CA RR proposed " The . Stewards," and Dr. BROWN returned thanks. Mr. FRATHIRSTOH proposed "The Reformers of South Shields," and Mr. BOWLBY returned thanks. Lord DURHAM gave " The Reformers of Newcastle," for which Mr. Partursoar returned thanks. At eleven o'clock, Lord DURHAM rose and said—The last toast on the list having been proposed, it now becomes my painful duty to take my leave of you ; and I beg of you to be assured, i❑ the strongest ter ms in which language can convey it, how deeply sensible I am of the kindness you have shown, arid the honour you have conferred upon me; and how grateful I feel for the opportunity you have afforded ice of meet ing you once more, and of renewing that intimacy, and cementing those ties of friendship, which formerly united us ; and which, whatever may have been the sensations in your minds, have ❑ever, so far as I have been con cerned, been diminished in my breast.—( Loud cheers.) In whatever situation of life I may be placed, I shall ne ver forget the happy hours I have spent in your com pany, the support you have always afforded me, and the interest I must ever feel in everything that affects your welfare.—(Cheers.) You cannot confer a greater favour upon me, than giving me as opportunity of proving the gratitude 1 am proud to avow, for the warm and affec tionate support you have afforded me in every situation. —(Cheers.) I have come back to my native county, after an absence of three years, under circutustances calculated to inspire the most painful feelings, and to remind me of events which almost embittered existence; but at the same time I enjoyed one consolation— that whatever misfortunes afflicted me, the sorrows I have felt were sympathised in by you.—(Cheers.) The know ledge of that has been communicated to me most faithfully, and I acknowledge it most cordially. I know and feel grateful for the interest you have taken in my cares and afflictions—and well I may; for all the consideratio❑ I have in this world—everything that has placed me above my fellow citisene—l owe entirely to your countenance.— (Cheers.) I owe it to no feeble merits of my own— though the most persevering exertions and laborious application to my duties were never omitted by me—but to the proud position, the elevated pedestal, on which I was placed by the free and unbought suffrages of the inde pendent and intelligent electors of this great and enlight ened county.—(Cheers.) Having thus given expression to the sentiments that animate my heart, I beg leave to retire—wishing you once more every blessing that this world can afford. #,The Noble Earl then left the table, and was loudly cheered as he quitted the room with the Chairman and his friends. The Mayor of Durham was also honoured with a hearty cheer as he withdrew. THE CIVIC BANQUET. Saturday being the inauguration day of the Lord Mayor for the ensuing year was celebrated by the customary banquet in Guildhall. The Hall presented an unusually brilliant appearance, being illuminated in every part by gas lights, arranged in a variety of tasteful and novel devices, and decorated by an unusual complement of suits of armour, standards, and other national trophies. The tables, which were placed, as usual, lengthways, five filling the width of the Hall, were abundantly provided with every po,sible variety of luxury; and so admirable were the arrangements of the committee that not the least confusion as to places or precedence occurred. At about seven o'clock the work of devastation commenced, grace having previously been given by the City Chaplain. Among the distinguished guests present we remarked— Lord Brougham, the M irquis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Richmond, Lord J. Russell; Viscounts Melbourne, Palmerston, and Althorp ; Lord Auckland, the Vice Chancellor, the Right Hon. E. G. Stanley, the Earl of Surrey, Sir C. Wetherell, Sir E. B. Sugden, Sir James Scarlett, Mr. Spring Rice ; Messrs. Grote, Lyall, and Crawford ; Captain and Commander Ross, several Foreign Ministers, the principal City Magistrates, and many Members of Parliament. The total number of guests assembled amounted, we should think, to between nine hundred and one thousand. The first toast announced from the chair was that of " The King."—Drank with three times three and applause. The LORD MAYOR next rose to propose, " The health of the Queen," with three times three.—(The announce ment of this toast was the signal for a gederal burst of applause, which lasted for many minutes.) The Loan MAYOR next proposed " The health of the late Lord Mayor."—(Marked and general applause fol lowed the announcement of this toast.) Sir PETER LAURIE returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The health of the Lord Chancellor." . The LOAD CIIANCELLOR returned thanks. He felt exceedingly grateful for the kind manner i❑ which his Lordship had proposed, and in which the company had received, his health. He confessed that be was somewhat surprised that he should be singled out by his Lordship, and th it his health should be proposed independently of that of his Noble Colleagues. Ile, however, attributed the honour to the fact of his possessing one advantage over moat of his Noble and Hon. Colleagues—that of having been a citizen of London longer than they bad. He had now the honour of filling a situa tion very different to that which he held when he had first the happiness of being enrolled amongst them. He should only say that, as he now held a situation in which it was the interest of his fellow eiiiz ns to watch his conduct, he should endeavour so to execute the law as to make it respected, and so to amend the laws as that they might deserve to be loved as well as respected. He begged to take the liberty of proposing to them their excellent Chief Magistrate, with whom his acquaintance was not of yesterday, aid whose talents, industry, and worth commanded the esteem and respect of all who had the opportunity of knowing hitn.—(Cl.eers.) He begged to propose " The health of the present Lord Mayor," with three times three.—(Great cheering.) This toast having been drunk with marked applause, The LORD MAYOR returned thanks. He had arrived at the rank he now enjoyed, not through high birth or distinguished talents, but through an inviolable regard to truth and honesty of conduct.—(Hear, hear.) His revered parents had taught him that if he followed this path he might consider no honour as beyond his attain ment ; but they still taught him to regard a clear con science as the greatest reward lie could possibly obtain.— (Cheers.) In conclusion he begged to propose " The health of the s.larquis of La.usdowne and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers." The Marquis of LANSDOWNE returned thanks. He felt a deep interest in the welfare of the city of London, with which he had for some time been individually con nected. He bad long been a member of one of in most honourable companies; but, even if he had not been thus connected with it, be could not, as an Englishman, but feel that the welfare and prosperity of the city of London was of the highest consequence, not only to this country, but to the world. He begged to propose what he was sure would meet with a warm reception— " The health of the Lady Mayoress." Drunk with three times three, and loud applause. The Loan Maros having returned thanks for the honour paid to his lady, begged to propose, with three times three, " The health of Lis Grace the Duke of Wellington."—(This toast, on its announcement, was received with the most marked applause from every part of the hall.) The next toast was that of " The Lord Chief Justice and bis Majesty's Judges." The Lo CHIEF JU:iTICE returned thanks on behalf of himself and his Majesty's Judges." The Loan MAYOR then proposed " f.nt'd Viscount Al thorp sad the Members of the House of Commons." Lord ALTHORP returned thanks in a very low tone of voice. He thanked them for the unexpected honour which hasl been done him in singling him out by name, more especially when his name was coupled with the Reformed House of Commons, He hoped that House would obtain the confidence of the country, and he felt that the best means of deserving such confidence was by faithfully representing its wants and wishes. The Loan IlAyom, again rose, to propose " The health of Captain Ross." It must be highly gratifying to the whole nation, to find that they had among them that intrepid, energetic, and noble-minded seaman, Captain Ross. His wonderful return, he felt sure, would be hailed by them in the heartiest manner. He had heard with great satisfaction that the gallant Captain intended shortly to lay before the public the details of his important discoveries, acid the result of his unheard-of labours and onesufferings i n t h e cause o f h uman i ty an d sc i e nc e . Every must be aware niche immense privations this gallant and devotedly generous Captain and his crew suffered in their eliorta to do gogd to the hurna l race, and to raise the glory of British naval enterprise. It was, therefore, with the warmest pleasure that he proposed to them to pledge " Health, success, and long life to their gallant countryman, Captain Ross." The toast was drunk with three times three, and an, companied with loud and long continued cheering, in which the ladies warmly joined. Captain Ross rose to return thanks, which he did very briefly. The Gallant Captain was very indistinctly heard. He said, in substance, as far as we could collect, that nothing tended more to excite his feelings and respect than to hear his name pledged by his Lordship, and so kindly received by the citizens of London. He begged to assure them that he was truly and sincerely sensible of the honour that was just conferred upon him ; and it was highly gratifying to him to feel fully persuaded that such an honour would not have been conferred upon him if he had not done something to merit it. He bad done his best; and when a British seaman said that it meant something ; be had done as much as he could, and a generous people could not expect more. He assured the distinguished and numerous assembly present, that his future life should be dedicated to promote the welfare and glory of his native country ; and he felt determined to prove to them hew willing he was to show that in some way be merited the honour and applause his countrymen were so ready to bestow on the efforts he had already made to advance the science and national glory of the country to which he was so proud to belong. —(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR, in proposing the next toast, said they bad present three of the Members who had the great honor or representing them in Parliament. He begged, there fore. to propose their healths in conjunction with that of Mr. Alderman Wood.—(Drunk with three times three.) Mr. GROTE, M.P., briefly returned thanks. The next toast proposed by the LORD MAYOR was— " The Solicitor-General and the Bar."--(Drank most cordially.) Sir J. CAMPBELL returned thanks. The next toast was that of " The Magistracy of the City of London."—(Drank cordially.) Sir C. HUNTER returned thanks. Other toasts succeeded, and at about half•past nine, the LORD MAYOR, accompanied by the msjority of his guests, retired from the Hall, and proceeded to the reception room, where, contrary to the general expectation, and evidently much to the delight of the fairer portion of the company, every requisite preparation had been made for dancing. Weippert's band was in attendance, and, under its auspices, quadrilles were kept up until a late hour, the Worthy Chief Magistrate and his Lady frequently setting example to their more junior visiters by mingling i❑ the dance. We observed many of the Foreign Ministers evidently gratified observers of the festive scene which took place. At half past eleven the Lard Mayor and his family retired, and the Hall was shortly after cleared. The arrangements throughout the entertainment were excellent, and seemed to give very general satisfaction. GERMAN PAPERS. It is stated in the Hamburg Papers that Russia is suf fering at this moment in the most dreadful manner from the total failure of the crop in many parts of the Empire. The northern parts of Sweden and Norway too are suffer ing from a bad harvest; but in the southern provinces the harvest was abundant. A letter from the frontiers of Italy, in the Allgemeine Zeitung, says that recent events in Spain have produced the greatest sensation in Italy. " The fire is, it seems, ready to be kindled in Turin ; the authorities have received directions to redouble their vigilance. Travellers are subjected to additional vexations in the Sardinian States." At Constantinople, after a review of the troops, the Sultan gave an entertainment, in the European style, to the Ambassadors of France, England, Russia, Austria, and Prussia, and their wives. The French Ambassador proposed the Sultan's health, in the name of his colleagues, which was received by three rounds of applause by the whole company. Two vessels are to be freighted for North America with the Polish fugitives in Prussia, who are to receive from 50 to 60 dollars each, on landing, from the Russian Charge d'Affaires. HAMBURG, Nov. 4.—Accounts from Cuxhaven of the 2d say that N-uwerk was laid under water by the violent storms ; the embankments near the battery-house are said to have been much injured. The ships Societat, Captain Scinuers, and Esabe, Captain Inskey, both from Amster dam and Hamburg, were stranded near Cuxhaven, with loss of cables and anchors, and must discharge in order to get afloat.

It was the Government steamer Confiance, Lieutenant Waugh. She sailed from Lisbon on the 3d instant, and from Oporto on the 4th, with mails. The intelligence varies but little by this ves sel from the last received, and in no part of its substance can a belief be gleaned otherwise than that the civil strife is to be kept up through another winter, unless the aid of some European Power be interposed for the establishment of peace, by at once, with force, crushing the power of the Usurper and his partisans. The Aliguelite army continued their occupation of San tarem, and the Constitutional forces were still besieging them in their fortified position. From accounts received in Lisbon it was expected that the Duke of Terceira and Count Saldanha would first direct their attention to the taking of a number of windmills, situated on a com manding eminence to the eastward of the town of San tarem, and forming the means of entrance without opposition from the artillery of its strong defences. The attempt of the Queen's troops must be attended with loss, as a considerable amount of Royalists now protect the mills ; but should the latter become dis possessed of that position, it is believed that the capture of Santarem will be easily effected. The attack was daily expected to be made. Considerable numbers of cavalry and infantry had again left Lisbon, to co-operate with the main body of the army. Account■ bad reached the capital, on the 15th ult., of the taking of Alcacer do Sal; but the declaring of Coimbra and Leira for the Queen had not received confirmation. In the Tagus, the Don Pedro Portuguese ship of war, a frigate, corvette, and two transports, were in prepara tion to proceed to Madeira, for the purpose of blockading that island. They were to sail on the 28th. TheAlgarves continued in disorder; many of the guerillas had been taken and shot, but great fears were felt by the population of the province to make known their sentiments. From Oporto, the accounts represent that city as being badly protected, being left so deficient of troops. A party of 1,000 men, under the command of Brigadier Pacheco, marched on the Coimbra road on the 31st, with a view of taking possession of a convent, but they were unexpect edly surprised by a strong body of Miguelites who forced Pacheco's column to quickly fall back on Villa Nova with trifling loss. The Belgian and German Governments have recognised Donna Maria, as Queen of Portugal. Lisbon continued tranquil. The Leveret is the next ex pected vessel from thence with mails. latsßox, Nov. 2.—We have had no account of any movement of importance either of the besieged er the besiegers at Santarem during this last week. All intelli gence from that quarter, however, appears to confirm the reports we bad previously received of the great distress the Miguelites were suffering from scarcity of provisions, and of the probability that they would soon make an attempt to evacuate the place. Fresh troops, both infantry and cavalry, have left Lisbon within the last few days to join the army. The battalion of Riflemen, No. 10, left on Thursday ; Don Pedro accompanied them from the Palace of the Necessidades to the arsenal, where they em barked for Villa Franca, manifesting the highest enthu siasm for the cause in which they were engaged. De spatches from Lieut.-Colonel Da Silva, of the 9th regi ment, dated from Alcacer do Sal, announce the taking of that place by the troops under his command on the 25th October. The enemy were 600 strong in Militias and Realista•, besides 40 cavalry and one piece of artillery. Colonel Da Silva embarked at St. Übes in two steam boats, and other vessels, under the command of Captain Henry, and, proceeding up the river, disembarked at Fayas, about a league distant from Aleacer do Sal. The enemy, hearing now of their approach, were put in no small commotion, not expecting their advancement by the river, and, after a slight resistance, were soon put to the rout, and took to a shameful flight, leaving behind them their piece of artillery, eight killed, four prisoners, and four men who came over to the service of Donna Maria. The approach of night prevented further pursuit. His Majesty's brig of war Leveret arrived here on Thursday from Cadiz, touching at Lagos. The distress of this last•mentioned place, from scarcity of provisions, is reported to be very great, in consequence of the state of siege in which it has bee❑ so long kept. It is to be hoped that some further assistance will soon be given to the brave garrison of Lagos, who have held out so long amid so many privations and difficulties. The regular forces which Don Miguel has on the south of the Tagus, in Almeit im, and that vicinity, are not so many as were at first stated, which was 1,000 men, infantry and cavalry ; as it appears by communications from Aldea Gallega, that their real amount does not exceed 300 infantry and 40 cavalry. From a respectable individual, who reached town yes terday from Castello Branco, it appears that Do❑ Carlos entered that town on the 21st of October, at seven o'clock in the afternoon ; and on the 22d, at nine in the morning, the Infanta Donna Maria Francisca arrived on foot, with out any state, excepting merely ten soldiers and an officer of police. On the 24tb, an Ambassador arrived from the Queen of Spain, to intimate to Don Carlos that he should imme diately leave for the destination assigned him by Ferdi nand VII. His guards, who were Spaniards, denied him under any other designation than that of King. Don Carlos, however, at length gave him audience, but refused to receive the despatches ; thereupon the Ambassador re tired, but on leaving the Court an attempt was made by the guards to kill him, hut he was saved by the inter ference of Carlos himself, and Magessi. He immediately returned to Spain. In consequence of a conference which took place on Thursday, between two Counsellors of the Treasury, and two Bank Directors, the litter have consented to take at par what remains of the loan of 800 cantos of rein. OPORTO, Nov. 3.—The forces in Oporto having long been strangely overrated at 12,000 men, and reproached with remaining in a state of torpid inactivity, the Superb steamer on Tuesday, the 29th ult.,:brought orders from the Emperor• to General Stubbs to make a movement with his troops to the southward, to second the risings at Coimbra, A'cobaca, and Leira, and erribaik others and send them to land south of Figueire. One thousand eight hundred men, under the command of Bento Franca, were embarked o❑ board the Superb, and some other vessels on Wednesday, the 30th of October, and sailed before day light on Thursday morning, the 31st, whilst General Stubbs himself, with 900 men—infantry of the 10th and 18th regiments of Queen's Volunteers and Fixos, and all the cavalry lie had, as well as two pieces of artillery—the whole commanded by brigadier Pacheco, marched over the bridge on the Coimbra road. When he got as far as Grigo (two leagues and a half) he found the inhabi tants had fled. Sir Thomas Stubbs ordered Brigadier- General Pacheco to halt at Carvalhos, and remain there that night, he himself returning to town, the lines having been left very bare, and Major Bravo, with 600 men and sore: gun-boats, detached up the river to Arrullas. At five o'clock, p to., General Stubbs returned to token with his aide-de-camp and a single orderly dragoon, and some hours afterwards a report reached him from General Pacheco, stating that a Miguelite force, from 6,000 to 7,000 had fallen on his flanks,issuing from the pine woods, where they lay under cover and unseen, and had com pelled him to retreat to Villa Nova, pursuing his column to within one mile of it. The Constitutionalists bad 20 men killed and wounded, among the former a subaltern, and among the latter a Captain. A picquet of five men is also stated to have been taken, a fate which might have befallen both General Stubbs and Pacheco, as well as to their own column. Unsuccessful as this expedition has been, it will have the good 'fleet of proving in a high quarter that the garrison of Oporto has been by far too much reduced to admit of its attempting such operations, which amounts to almost an evacuation of the place. The fate of the 1,000 men embarked on board the Superb steamer, was just beginning to give some uneasi ness yesterday morning, when intelligence arrived that they had sarely landed o❑ Friday morning at Mira, a little bay half way betweea Areiro and Coimbra, and found four vessels of war with 2,000 men from Lisbon before it. The Miguelites were yesterday morning still in their position at Soto Redondo, which would hardly be the case if a disembarkation had been effected at Mira. On the north side a detachment of their mounted Lancers was yesteid y at Vallonga, and for some days past we have ❑ot had any deserters from them. Two steamers, with troops from England, have passed the Bar within the last three days for• Lisbon, but none are left here, (From the Times.) FALMOUTH, NOV. 9.—His Majesty's steamer Confiance arrivedthis morning from Lisb on , b r i ng i ng a d v i ces f rom thec city up to the 3d, and Oporto to the 4th instant. Nothing of importance had occurred since the last account. The Miguelites still held possession of Santarem. There are several reports afloat, but experience shows that passing reports from Lisbon are not to be credited except when confirmed by the correspondence. It is reported that General Stubbs, who was marching with his division to Coimbra, has been obliged to fall hack upon Villa Nova, in consequence of a superior Miguelite force having been collected on the line of his march. The James Watt and Soho steamers, with stores and troops, had arrived in the Tarp. LISBON Nov. 2,—The Commission of Ecclesiastical Reform, whose power extends from the Patriarch of Lis bon down to the humble lay brother of a monastery, is daily removing from their benefices all those priests and friars who take open part with Don Miguel, or seek to delude the people by means of confession or pretended miracles and revelations. Although all religious houses whose inmates have fled with the enemy are instantly sup pressed, and their property incorporated with that of the nation, the petticoated brotherhood foolishly oppose a fruitless resistance, and furnish good pretexts to those who aim at depriving them of their wealth. The friars of Carnota have abandoned their monastery, which will be suppressed, and let out to other occupants within a month, and the former inmates may either attach them- selves to the order of mendicants, or embrace some indus trious mode of gaining a livelihood. These stupid friars do not know when they are beaten, and seem blindly to seek their own extinction. The army of Don Pedro re. mains in the same positions, or nearly so, as whe❑ I last wrote. Its force extends to Torres Novas, on the left bank of the Tagus, and the road of Alemtejo is cut off to the enemy. The main force of the Miguelites is at San tarem, and Don Miguel and his sisters are at Abrantes, with about 4,000 men. The Miguelite force between the Douro and the Mondego is diminishing daily by desertions. Official intelligence of the recognition of Donna Maria by the Regent of Spain and the King of Belgium has been published here, as well as a private letter from Castello Branco, describing the entry of Don Carlos into that place lon the 21st ult., and his reception of the intimation from the Spanish Court. The William IV. steamer has arrived from Glasgow with 150 recruits for the army ; and this evening the James Watt steamer, with passengers, has entered the Tagus. A lady of the first nobility has been removed from the Palace, it is said for having given anti-liberal impressions to the young Queen. The Marchioness Chamberlain Mor, and her daughter, the widow of Don Thomas Mas carenhas, are now placed at the Queen's side. The Em peror has created three Chamberlains for his daughter— the Duke of Terceira, the Marquis de Santa Iris, and the venerable Thomas de Mello Breyner, all of the highest blood, and honest Liberals. The Bank of Lisbon has taken the remainder of the loan of 800 contos that was still unsubscribed for at par. The Chronicas contain the sentences of the vessels lately condemned in the Admiralty Prize Court. The Superb steamer has just entered the river from Figueira; she left that harbour on Wednesday last, having on board the almost incredible number of 809 men; 250 men were likewise embarked on board a schooner which the steamer had in tow ; the whole belonged to the 10th and 18th Regiments of the Line, and volunteers of the battalion of Donna Maria Seguntla. Both vessels got under weigh at 2 o'clock, a.m. on Thursday last, and had not proceeded far when it was discovered that the schooner had neither sails, anchors, nor cables of any description on hoard. Although the weather was remarkably fine, the rope used in towing broke several times, to the great danger of all hands, and the steamer not being able to furnish another rope, and the schooner making much water, it was determined to take the men out of her on board the steamer, and to sink the schooner, in order to destroy the ammunition with which she was partly laden, and which the captain refused to take on board. On arriving off Figueira, where the troops were to have been disembarked with the assistance of the Queen's ships of war, which were to have been cruising there, no vessel of that description was to be found, and as no sort of com munication could be had with the shore, it being in pos session of the enemy, General Bento da Franca, who commanded the forces, determined to proceed to San Martinho or Pederneira, where he had instructions to effect his landing in case he could not succeed at Figueira. The weather continuing very fine, the vessel kept on her passage, and at five o'clock last evening, when off Peder neira, five leagues from Figueira, fell in with a fishing boat, and learning that place to be entirely free from the enemy, a landing was immediately determined upon ; the fishing boat was sent on shore with some officers to bring off other boats, with which, and the assistance of the peasantry on the coast, who appeared very well disposed towards them, the landing was effected. By six o'clock this morn ing all the troops had been put on shore, as well as some ammunition - that had been shipped on board the steamer ; the Superb then proceeded on her voyage, and anchored in the Tagus at seven o'clock this evening. (Fom the Lisbon Papers.) Lisporr, OCT. 27.—We have strong reason to believe that the rebels in Santarem, having exhausted all their re sources, and being afraid to face our troops, intend, as their only means of safety, to go to the south of the Tagus. The consequences of such a step may be foreseen. The usurper may for some time desolate Alemtejo, but the army which be has sacrificed will be soon undeceived, and may take a terrible revenge ; snore than one tyrant has had the fate of Vitellius. Nov. I.—Conformably to a report from the Minister of Finance, his Imperial Majesty has been pleased to form a commission to examine the public debt, contracted from the Ist of October, 1822, to 31st July, 1833. It being of the greatest importance to complete the li quidation of the accounts of the subsidies presented to Portugal by the British Government during the Peninsu lar war, and all the members of the Commission which was appoiutA for that purpose being dead, his Majesty has authorised other Commissioners to proceed with all due speed to the arrangement of this important subject.— Lisbon Chronica, to Nov. 2, inclusive. YORK CITY ELECTION. The corrupt and thirsty freemen of this city cannot bear an election without the usual quantity of bribery and guzzling, and, accordingly, incited by a placard published on Tuesday, on Wednesday, the nomination-day, unex pected and violent opposition was displayed to Mr. Dundas, the truly independent Whig candidate. The placard, in the most impudent way, stated that York must have fallen low indeed, if an election were to take place without the candidates spending their money " like gentlemen I." and the author, to prevent se monstrous a calamity, pro posed that Mr. J. H. Lowther should be nominated next day. The freemen took the hint, and the next day the Guildhall resounded with their hooting at Mr. Dundas's manly speech, and their applause at the nomination, by two freemen, of Mr. Lowther. Mr. Dundas's friends were quite taken by surprise, and were accordingly left in a great minority on a show of hands. Mr. Lowther was not present, ner could his proposers be got to guarantee the expenses of the election. Ultimately, however, the sheriffs were told that this would be done by subscrip tion. In the evening the old Tory faction assembled to take advantage of the proceedings of the freemen, and some of them addressed the mob in his favour. Mr. Dundas, Mr. Tennyson, M.P., and Sir W. Ingilby, spoke from Etridge's Hotel, calling on the electors to support the Liberal cause.—Leeds Mercury. York, Saturday Evening, Six o'clock. The poll finally closed at four o'clock this afternoon, and the following is the result : FRIDAY. Mr. Dundas Mr. Lowther 560 SATURDAY. 1,540 Mr. Dundas 358 Mr. Lowther 284 Majority in favour of Mr. Dundas 494 The above was announced by the Chairman of Mr. Dundas's Committee, when the Hon. Thomas Dundas, accompanied by his Committee, proceeded down Coney streAetb, , I) nad ve o t t le tta nt u , ,i C c o , ll w ie i r t g h ate b , att & n c e . t „ s to is tbe no t w av p er a n ra . ding the streets, and all is joy and exultation. The Sheriffs will meet at the Guildhall, on Monday morning, at nine o'clock, to regulate the books, and at twelve they will announce the numbers, and declare Mr. Dundas's splendid triumph. It is not yet finally determined what will afterwards he done as to a procession, chairing, &c. Mr. Henry Hope has returned to Duchess. street, from a short tour on the Cuntinent. The Committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society have unanimously appointed the Rev. G. Browne, of Clapham, to be their Secretary, in the room of the late Rev. Joseph Hughes. We regret to learn, that Lord Grenville has been again attacked by apoplexy, and from the state in which it has left him, he is considered to be in the greatest danger. The Sunday Observer of yesterday contained upwards of three folio columns of the Procession and Banquet of Lord Mayor's Day. The Observer is regu larly published at five o'clock every Sunday morning; also an edition for country readers every Monday after noon, at four o'clock, in time for Monday's post.

His Lordship calls upon the ele ct body to be true to itself, and to appreciate : e 4 l use the power they poses. He truly oho' of that it will be their fault if they are cajol eci ef 9 again enslaved by the prostrate boroughmongioit The electors must use well the new distribtitp, of power intrusted to them by the Reform 13 ge before they can claim or receive with adonti,o any further extension of franchise. 1 3 ° nevertheless feel assured, from the recent P` j d declarations of Lord DURHAM, that he tle s ' i oo a more perfect measure ; and that if, fro° I V, mutilations of the original Reform Bills (biv Tories in its difficult progress through the gislature) additional protection to the v °te ptr required, his Lordship will honestly Pr°itlof other reforms, whether in the mode o f eoti7 s , in any new arrangement of the electoral e l 3 ,or In 1822, Lord Dunn Art, when Mr. . 1 ) i ' 0 0 1 TON, moved for leave to bring into the 11 of Commons a Bill for the Reform of th e ) presentation, the draught of which eonta ine ' the most valuable principles of the recen ot ll l and, further, limited the duration of Pritli3o,V f to the constitutional term of three years. ta i; popular enactments—for the election 0 1.re ,ic 7 ing-officers, and a more quick and eeon(ij;'' mode of taking the poll—were also eontairietio`i the Bill ; and its declared object was to V I the right of voting, to put down bribery o ti o f ruption, and generally to secure the freed _,( purity of election.
