The Hon. and Member, who described himself a s (( full flesh," threw off one of his usual r atld 0 Li ll err s philippics, first against the Coer .,,°l(ily'Which he pronounced " monstrous ;" 41 1e,,‘ C a gainst L or d A NGLESEA, whom he tt i et ex ecrable." Th e quest i on o f R epea l ev glanc ed at. Mr. FERGUS O'CON ; 13 1 , v 1 4 j e d fir s t fiddl e on t hi s occa itle :I t ch we are rather surprised at, u s: that repea l i s DANIEL'S own i lt possibly his "studies" on the sub- Iject are :not quite completed ; or he is waiting for further enlightenMent ; or he has the terrors of the Coercion Bill before him, which have evidently made a deep impression on his shrinking and sensitive nature. What with DANIEL on the subject of tithes, and FERGUS on the subject of Repeal, the St. Vitus dance of agitation is now, we suppose, about to take place as briskly as ever throughout Ireland. Certainly in this respect Mr. O'CoN- NELL has the best excuse for making his " voice" ! (as he assured his audience it would be)— " heard from Cape Clear toWestininster"—a pro digious vocal achievement by the bye, but nothing to one of his lungs—since "tithes" are really a legitimate grievance, which the Agitator does right in endeavouring to throw off the shoulders of Ireland ; but as for Mr. O'CONNOR and Repeal, all we shall say on the question is, that the advocate is worthy of the cause, and the cause of the advocate. In another column we have given, with the observations of a contemporary, an extract from a petition now in course of signature in the City, praying the London Bridge Committee not to mar the great improvements they are now making, by suffering the Banking I-louse of Messrs. SMITH, PAYNE, and Co., to stand almost in the midst of their new street. We concur with the Morning Herald in the wish it expresses for the success of the petitioners, but cannot see how their non-success will raise a suspicion in the public mind, " that a vast increase of jobbing, patronage, and profit is contemplated in the new scheme for pulling down the ancient churches, and desecrating the monuments and sacred ashes of our forefathers." Solemn absurdity is not an unfrequent founda tion for vulgar abuse, and those who are ac quainted with the peculiar turn of mind exhi bited in the columns of our contemporary, will not he surprised at the jumbling of the "sacred ashes of our forefathers" with the widening of a street near the Mansion House. Two dinners have recently been given in the North of England worthy of notice. The first was given yesterday week, at Halifax, to the Members of that borough—Mr. RAWDON BRIGGS and Mr. CHARLES WOOD, son-in law of Earl GREY. The speeches of both gentlemen, of course, defend their Parliamentary conduct. That of Mr. WOOD would have been interesting from the light which it may be sup posed to throw on the intentions of Ministers ; but it has been completely eclipsed by the more full and powerful address of Mr. MACAULAY at Leeds. The last named gentleman was on Wednesday last invited to a public dinner at Leeds, in conjunction with his colleague and the Members for the West Riding for the county of York. As the speeches there made contain everything that was said at Halifax, and something more besides, from Mr. WOOD, perhaps, being more fettered by his personal connection with the Premier than Mr. MA CAULAY, it is to the latter (an account of which will be found in another column) that we pro pose to confine our observations. It will be seen that the Secretary to the Board of Control spoke of it as certain that his Majesty's Government would, next session, bring for ward measures to do away with the Church rates, and to establish a general registry of births, &c., without reference to religious opin ions. The first is a measure of strict justice to all Dissenters, forced upon the Government by their refusal any longer to make rates for the repair of churches they do not frequent. Little thanks are due to Lord GREY, or to any one but the spirited men who have refused any longer to impose an unfair tax upon themselves, for this promised measure, and we must see it before our fears of anything but a boon being intended are removed. The re fusal of Ministers to consider the church rates of England, and legislate respecting them, at the time they relieved the Dissenters of Ireland from the payment of vestry cess, the objec tions to both being precisely the same, gives just ground for apprehension that they do not intend to give us, on this side the Irish Channel, the same measure of justice which was extorted from them on the other. The Bilf or esta blishing a general registry of births, deaths., and: marriages, will be one of real utility, which all classes, but more especially Dissenters, will be much obliged to the Government for introducing. Mr. MAC AULAY, besides defending his conduct as re gards the past, touched upon three other im portant subjects which may be said to be still in fitturo. These are the Ballot, shortening the duration of Parliament, and repealing the Corn Laws. To the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's opinion, with regard to the first, we most de cidedly object. It amounts simply to this,—as long as we can keep our places without the Ballot, I shall oppose it ; but directly the Tories get the upper hand I shall advocate it. A reference to his speech will show that we have not misre presented the Hon. Member. He talks, too, of letting public opinion put down intimida tion ; but what cares the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and others of his stamp, for public opinion ? It has been practised, and so has bribery, ever since Members of the House of Commons were elected, in spite of public opinion. Both will continue to be so till public opinion has carried the only measure which can put bcth down, and that is precisely the measure which Mr. MA CAULAY will not adopt. His opinions upon the subject of shortening the duration of Parliament are more satisfactory. H e i s willing to vote for quinquennial Parliaments, which he thinks in practice would turn out to be Parliaments elected every four years. \Ve think it likely that such would be the case, and for the present would be well content to find a majority of the H o u s e of Commons in favour of quinquennial Parliaments. We are not without hopes that the avowal made by Mr. MACAULAY is symptomatic of the impression made last session by the large minority which voted for Mr. TEN NYSON'S motion. With respect to the Corn Laws, Mr. MACAULAY entered into an exceed ingly full and satisfactory explanation. We earnestly recommend his observations, with the interlocutory remarks of Mr. MAR suALL and Lord MORPETH, to the atten tion of our readers. Mr. MACAULAY sees the true state of the question, and the recommendation he makes, which we have printed in italics, will not, we hope, be lost. We shall return to that part of his speech on Monday.

The Luna, Dwy , r, frotn Newfoundland, drove from her anchorage at Madeira during a gale on the 12th oh., and it is supposed foundered—crew saved ; she had not die. charged. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A Lisbon mail has arrived this morning, but it is of the came date as previously received, namely, of the 27th ult., and from Oporto of the 30th, and, consequently, does ❑ot bring any fresh information. By the French mail this morning, accounts from Bor. deaux state, that Merino continues to intercept the couriers in the environs of Burgos, and take their de spatches from them. A report prevailed on the 'Clianze at Paris, that the despatches received by the Government announced the occupation of Vittoria by General Saarsfield, but the letters from Bayonne do not confirm the report, but state that Saarsfteld remained at Burgos, either to maintain his communication with Madrid, or to organisa an attack against the provinces in a state of insurrection, which, it is much feared, will not be reduced without much blood being shed. _ They write from Thrdeaux to the 3d November. Gen. Ctstagnon, who had advanced too far, and expected the aid of Saarsfield, was sui,ounded at Bergaru. At Bilboa, the greatest terror prevailed. A contribution of 8,000 reaux was ordered to be paid in three days, La this town furnishes powder, arms, and money to the different bands, which ar- considerably increasing. The Minister of War in Belgium has addressed the following circular to the diff,rent chiefs of corps in the di toy:— " Sir,—You will rause to be presented to you all the strangers in your companies, and to make ther.-$ sign their names, that they may proceed to Portug,.::. This is the only means that we have to get of the strangers who encumber ours tiny." THE FUNDS. The express from Paris has arrived, and brings the French Rentes about per C-nt lower, 74r. 75c. ; but there is no official news from Spain, which does not augur good. Had Sa trsfield taken Vittoria and Bilboa the French Government would have received a telegraphic t:espatch with the important event. We have experienced bad weather cl the Coast of Hol land. Seven or eight ships are on chore.. Gins°ls which left of yesterlay at SSi to -I, opened at 88 for the Account. Tbis being Lord Aliyot's day the city is in a bustle, consequently there is no business doing. Portuguese Stock, 601 a ; Spanish, 221 to 23 ; Dutch, 49i _ _ HALF-PAST ONE. We have seen several private letters from Lisbon, all confirming the accounts already published of several places havine declared for Donna Maria, and that Miguel's forces were blocked up in Santarem, where provisions were getting scarce, particularly bread ; in consequence of which all persons who could not carry arms were sent out of the town. Few persons are in attendance on 'Change, owing to the city festival. Consols have been the whole of the morning at 88A- for the Account, with no business. The Foreign Market is also inactive ; Portuguese Stock, 60 ; Spanish, 221 23 ; Dutch, 401 50. THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 88e MASTER AND VALET.--COUrIt Mirabeau, brother of the celebrated orator of the Constituent As sembly, known by the name of 11Iitabeau Jonnean (cask), one morning desired his valet de chambre to come to him. " You are a faithful and zealous servant," said he in a word ; " I can but congratulate myself in having a ser• vant who so fully performs his duty, but I am about to dismiss you." " And for what reason, your Lordship ?" " Because you always get drunk the same day that I do." " And is that my fault, my Lord, when you get drunk every day ?" The Count could find no reply to this rea soning, and kept his valet de chambre. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) DELI , OSFIE V. CRAWSHAT. The Court was occupied the whole of the morninz in hearing the resumed arguments which were begun yester day in this appeal motion from an order made by his Honor the Vice-Chancellor, calling upon the receiver, Mr. Newton, in the cause, to pay upwards of 2,0001. into Court within three months. The arguments were still proceeding when we went to press. LORD MAYOR'S DINNER. The new Lord Mlyor made his appearance in Court at a litt'e after two o'clock, attended in due form by a long train of civic functionaries, and tendered, as usual on the 9th of November, an invitation to the Lord Chancellor to dine with him (the Lord Mayor) at the Mansion-house, this evening. JUDGMENTS. An intimation was posted at the foot of the Court, that at the rising of the Court the Loan CHANCELLOR would dispose in judgment of Winchester v. Lawes ; Lord v. Kellett ; Wiswould v. Gaetze ; Shore v. Lee ; and Turner v. Ford. --- VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY V. THE DUKE OF MARL- BOROUGH. This case, which was part heard yesterday, came before the Court, upon exceptions to the Master's report. On the petition of Lord Charles Churchill, a reference was made to the Master to enquire w"uether certain property, situated in and near Winchwood Park, was part of the pro. perty devised to the petitioner, or whether it was property to which the elder brother of the petitioner, the Marquis of Blandford, was entitled. The Master reported, 14 years ago, in favour of Lord Charles Churchill, and ex ceptions were taken a short tiote since to that report which exceptions now came before the Court. His HONOUR directed that an action of ejectment should be brought by the person possessing the legal estate, against Lord Charles Churchill, who had been in possession of the property since the report to try the right, no legal bar being to be set up by either party. SPILSBURY V. BURDETT AND OTHERS. The bill in this case was filed by the plaintitl, Mr. Spilsbury, aeainst the defendants, Sir Frances Burdett, W. Jones Burdett, J. Wilson, Anthony Harding, sad others, for a discovery and production of certain deeds of 1750 and 1787, for the purpose of enabling him to pro ceed with actions of ejecttnent he had instituted against the defendants. The defendants had demurred to that bill, and in that shape the ca. , e now came before the Court. The grounds of the demurrer were that, if the bill was one for relief, no equity had been shown, and if it were a bill for discovery, it was contrary to the practice of the Court to grant such an order as was asked on furtherance of a suit at common law. His Florroutt considered the Bill multifarious, and or dered the demurrers to be allowed. ARRIVAL OF THE LORD MAYOR. Shortly before three o'clock, the new Lord Mayor, attended by the lite one, the Recorder, Common- Sergeant, and other City Officers, entered the Court, and invited his Honour to the dinner at Guildhall this evening. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) The Court was occupied the whole morning with the case of Stebbing v. Lord Huntington, which was not finished at one o'clock. The Judges then retired, in order to wait the arrival of the Lord Mayor and other civic authorities. They again came into Court at a quarter past two o'clock, dressed in red robes (the Lord Chief Baron wearing his chain of office), and black caps. The Lord Mayor accompanied by the Recorder the late Lord Mayor, Alder men Winchester, Lucas, Marshall, and the two Sheriffs of London then entered the Court and took their places in the seat usually set apart for the King's counsel. The Recorder then presented the Lord Mayor to the Court, and, in a splendid speech, set forth the conspicuous events that have distinguished the year of office of Sir P. L .urie. The Loan CHIEF BARON then addressed the Lord Mayor elect on the nature of his official duties, and congratulated the late Lord Mayor (Sir P. Laurie) upon the manner in which he had discharged the duties of his office, and returned thanks to him in the name of the public for the distinguished manner to which he had so discharged those duties. The usual oaths were then administered to the Lord Mayor. CHARLES J3rowN, EsQ., was then put in as the City Solicitor in the Court of Exchequer, which was duly recorded. The late Lord Mayor was then sworn to his accounts, and the procession retired in the way it entered. CAPTAIN ROSS accompanied the authorities in uni , orm, but unfortu nately was not known till he was half way out of the Court. It appeared to be regretted by Lord Lyndhurst that he Was so late informed of the presence of so interesting a personage. COURT OF KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) THE KING V. WM. MORTON PITT, ESQ. This was an appeal by the defendant, the proprietor of certain land that had been allotted to him upon the enclosure of a common in the townehip of Tan&ld, in the county of Durham, against a poor•rate. The ques tion came before the Court upon a special case, as to the construction of the local Act of Parliament. The particulars of the case were wholly uninteresting, and the Court, after hearing the arguments of Counsel, affirmed the rate. The LORD CmEr JUSTICE, in the course of the morn ing, briefly gave judgment on the following cases which had stood over. BROOK V. CROWTHER. In this case a rule for a new trial was granted. DOE DEM. TIIE BEDFORD CHARITY SCHOOL. V. nAT- Tlf IA SON. His LORDSHIP, is granting a rule for a new trial in this case, said, as the circumstances were of P. peculiar nature, it should not be placed on the new trial paper. DOE V. KINGFOOTE. nil LORDSHIP said, as the Learned Judge, who tried this calm, v,ought the verdict to he against the weight of evidence, the rule for :-, new trial mu-t issue. SMITH V. WILKINS. The Court thought that the application for a new tria: in this case must be refused. THE KING V. GREGORY. The defendant in this case his been convicted under a local Act of Parliament for erecting a nuisance, viz , for electing a house in the county of Surry, wi , hin the dist ance from the road prohibited by the clause of that Act. The case now came before this Court by wiy of ap peal on the ground that the building was only erected on the site of a wal: which had stood there f.r many years. After bearing the arguments of Mr. Paws fir the ap pellant, and Mr THESSIGER for the trusters of the roads, the Court confiruled the judgment of the Court below. MARYLEBONE OFFICE.-(THIS DAY.) ATTEwer OF A PATH Fll. TO DROWN HIS OIVN Sox.-111S morning William Martins, a shoe-maker residing in Camden -town, a fellow of ruffianly aspect, was brought before Mr. Hosxnis by Police constable 208, S, charged with throwing his s'in, a boy about ten years of age. into a deep miry ditch at the back of his house. The boy being questioned about the father, tremblingly replied, that his lather dropped him into the ditch, but whether by accident or desi2n he could not say.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta,—ln a former letter I ventured to impugn the accuracy of his Grace of Wellington's statement respecting the purchase of commissions in the army, and threw out a hint that this originated limn a desire on his part to ad vocate the interests of a particular and exclusive class—of those " men of fortune and education," to use his own words, who have some connexion with the interests and fortunes of the country besides the commission which they hold from his Majesty." Unfortunately for that cottony, the connection in question has too often been with the pension list, through the medium of a selfish and profligate party in the state (well known to his Grace from being one of the Aristocracy), and oozing through a multiplicity of channels, which will require the collected energy 0 1 : a Reform Parliament to purify, considering the source from whence they emanated. He is, however, still more un happy iv his calculations respecting the military govern ments; so much so, as to excite my surprise that the " Select Committee" should have allowed th•-ir respect fir a great name to blind their eyes to the obvious inle curacy of a document to which they appear to attach much importance, unless we are to consider this as a mere passing compliment, since they have wisely avoided at tending to its recommendation. But I must not, in the spirit of his Grace's " Memorandum," make assertions without proof, and will, therefore, proceed to unveil a little of the disingenuous mystification practised by the Tories, when their beloved sinecures are at stake. " There are about thirty of these governments," quoth his Grace ; but I assert, without the fear of contradiction, that there are upwards of twice that number, exclusive of the Colonial ar.,l other Governments in which actual duty is performed. lam aware that many of these situa tions are otherwise designated, but they are not the less :inecurtis, unless we descend to the paltry equivocation of adhering to the mere formality of a name, an I leave the Lieutenant Governors, Deputy Governor, C iptains of Forts and Castles, Szo., out of calculation ; a petty sub terfuge, scarcely worth noticing, had it not bee❑ made with the apparent intention of deceiving. Let me, however, make the matter more evident, by stating the number of these sinecurists —perhaps not with perfect accu racy, but approaching it as nearly as possible in the absence of the necessary documents. There are 40 Governors, 18 Lieutenant- Governors, four Deputy. Governors, five Cap tain, or keepers of forts and castles, a Constable of the Tower, with a Lieutenant and Deputy-Lieutenant, and, though " last ❑ot least," a Constable and Lieutenant of Windsor. These situations are held by three Field Marshals, 22 Gene rals (17 of whom have regiments), 14 Li, uten int-Generals (five of whom have regiment:), nine Major-Generals (one having a regiment), nine Colonels, eight Lieutenant- Colonels, and six civilians. Observe, Mr. Editor, that I have excluded from my enumeration, the Lieutenant-Go. vernors of Portsmouth, Plymouth, Jersey, Guernsey, Gib raltar, Ste., because, although these places have governors, they are non resident ; the Lieutenant-Governors, there fore, being the persons to whom the responsibility of the situation is attached, ought not to be classed under the same head as their principals. " There are 30 of these governments," quoth his Grace. I think the above detail will prove that those " rogues in buckram," the holders of the aforesaid 30 governments, have, like Falstaff s, multiplied exceedingly ; and I cannot sufficiently express my astonishment that his Grace should have ventured to make a statement so much at variance with the actual facts of the case, He appears, however, to have been looking through the reverse end of the tele scope, by which means the objects have been proportion• ably diminished, and some 50 or 60 governments reduced to 30; but the public are not to be deceived by so retro grade a process, and will, I trust, see their way clearly in spite of those Tory cuttlefishes, who blacken the water in order to hide the abuses of the "good old times" from observation. It is a remark of the Duke's, that many of these go vernments" are essential to the service ;" but I think I can easily prove, if a position so evident requires proof, that out of the whole of those I have enumerated, there are scarcely twelve to which any duty or responsibility is attached. To show this more clearly, I will point out a few instances, from whence the manifest absurdity of these situations, which the Duke, nevertheless, maintains "are essential to the service," will become evident. The Isle of Wight has a Governor (the Earl of Malmesbury), a Lieutenant• Governor (General Archdall), a Captain of Cowes. Castle (General the Marquis of Anglesea), a Capt lin of Carisbrook Castle (Major General Sir W. Paterson), one of Sandown Fort (Sir W. Wynne), and another of Yarmouth Castle (Major• General Sir J. Waters). Are all these " gentlemen pensioners" essential for the protection of an island scarcely fifty miles in circumfer ence, and which appears to have possessed, like the polypus when divided, the power of imparting vita lity to its scattered fragments ? Why, Sancho's government of B irataria was nothing to this ; and yet, forsooth, the Duke says they are essential. They are unquestionably essential to the pockets of the holders, but in what way they are essential either to the " service" or the public, notwithstanding his Grace's eloquent " memorandum," remains yet to he proved. But to proceed. We have a Constable of the Tower (the Duke of Wellington), a Lieu tenant of the Tower (Colonel the Earl of Munster), and a Deputy Lieutenant (Col. Sir T. H. Doyle, Bart.),— " three misbegotte❑ knaves in Kendal green." I beg his Grace's pardon—l was thinking of Falstaff. We have also a Constable and Lieutenant of Windsor (General the Marquis of Canynghain), but no—the most noble Marquis is defunct, and his situation now held by the Earl of Munster, who has been replaced in his Lieutenancy of the Tower by another—these comfortable sinecures being quite aristocratic and kingly in their nature, and never dying. That must surely be one of paramount import ance, which, on the demise of the general who held it, devolves upon a young colonel, who is chiefly indebted for his present rank to the somewhat dubious honour of his birth, which poor Savage little thought, when he ironically described its advantages, would, in aftertimes, lead the fortunate possessor to riches and distinction. But I will dwell no longer on the subject, having, I think, said enough to prove that these situations are not in any way essential to the service; being merely excrescences arising out of a corrupt system, evil in itself, anal therefore producing evil. A remark of the Duke's, however, at the conclusion of his " memorandum," must not pass without observation. " That which is under consideration," he says, "is whe ther the King is to be deprived of the power of rew,rtling, in the way long practised in the service, 30 officers, at an expense comparatively trifling." Thirty again ! but let that pass. Has his Grace then forgotten the situations of Commander•in.Chief—Alaster General of the Ordnance, Adjutant and Quartermaster General, Commander of the Forces in Irelend, General Officers of Districts, Governors of Colonies, the Commander-in- Cnief in the East Indies, and G"nerals of the various Pre•idencies, the Governor-in Chief of Canada, the Woods, Malt 1, Gibraltar, &c. &c., with the end less multitude of staff app dattnents connected with these, in addition to the 120 regiments to which I before slightly alluded. Surely this very imperfect enumeration of the military situations in the gift of his Majesty, will prove that our gracious Sovereign is by no means limited in his power of rewarding those who have served hint faithfully ; and the Duke's fear lest the King " should be under the necessity of seeking the sanction of Parliament previous to conferring such reward,," viz , the sinecures in question, can only b 3 considered as the querelous com plaint of one who has ever been the strenuous upholder of those abuses which a Reform Ministry are now endeavour in 4 to remedy. As to "the evil consequences which would attend this novel mode of proceeding," and wi,icl his Grace so pathetically deprecates, they are the mere creatures of his own imagination ; since the system recom mended by the Committee, without being the mettle co withholding an adequate reward front those who had per formed distinguished services, would unqutnionably ope rate beneficially to the country, by preventing its bounty limit being capriciously or unworthily bestowed. V INDEX. At Jedburgh, on Friday List, an old man of the name of William Wilson, more generally know n, per haps, under the designation of " the Jeddart poet," died ii, great agony in consequence of having fallen during the preceding night into the file of the room in which he was sleeping. He had, it appars, risen out of b,il fir the purpose of procuring some water to drink, and on doing so had fallen against the grate. Stunned by the fall, an' besides, it is feared, under the influence of liquor, he was unable to extricate himself from his situation until his head and one of his sides had been so severely scotched as to render every remedy unavailing.— Kelso Mull.

The Rev. I. Temple, the perpetual Curate of Lane End, Staffordshire, has resigned the living. On Thursday a meeting of the trustees was held to appoint a successor. Much uneasiness prevailed for some time amongst the con gregation, in consequence of an attempt made by some of the trustees, before a vacancy, to elect the Rev. B. Vale, formerly Curate of Stoke-upon-Trent, to the exclusion of the Rev. J. Kingsmill, the officiating minister. A vast concourse of people assembled on Thursday, partly to know the result, and partly to see the Duke of Sutherland, who on learning the wish of the congregation, promised to attend (his Grace being a trustee, and having two votes) in favour of Mr. Kingsmill. The trustees in the interest of Mr. Vale did not attend, but by their a.torneys prc tested against the illegality of the proceedings, contending in favour of the validity of the former dee ion, and inti mated that the Court of Chancery would be moved on the subject. The trustees present unanimously elected the Rev. J. Kingsmill, and thus the nastter terminated. His Grace was most enthusiastically cheered. —Slafforcl Paper. (ADVERTISEMENT.) BEULAH SPA, NORWOOD. Mr. Colburn has addressed the following letter to Mr. S.nith, the owner of the estate of B-ulah Spa : " Great Marlborough-street, Nov. 7, 1833. " Sir,—ln consequence of having bad my attention drawn to a paragraph in the New Monthly Magazine for November (under the head of ' Monthly Comm.ntary,') in which the writer states his belief that the water was prepared every morning from seine well -regulated recipe of an experienced chymist, I hasten to express my gnat regret at the insertion (however inadvertently allowed) of a suggestion of so unfounded and unwarrantable a nature. " I beg at the same time to inform you, that in con'or rnity with your wish I have thought it right to commission a Gentleman, competent to the task, to examine accurately the Beulah Springs, although from their already well known value and ascertained proporties such a measure was perhaps quite unnecessary. The report thus ob tained fury confirms the an lysis of Messrs. Hume and Faraday, and justifies the favourable opinion of the various eminent professional persons who have already given their testimony in favour of the water.

LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTION. OILY-HYDROGEN ithcitoscorz —On Thursday eight this wonderful invention, the result of the great discovery of the intense light capable of being produced by an ignit.•d stream of oxygen and hydrogen falling on lime, was exhi bited at this the itre to a crowded and admiring audience by Mr. Shea, the inventor of the apparatus used on the occasion. One of the greatest recorded effects produced by the oxy-hydrogen lime light was by Lieutenant Dun mond, who, in the trigonometrical survey of Ireland, exhibited a light on a mountain 2,000 feet above the level of the sea, within fifteen miles of Londonderry, which was distinctly seen from the Devis-hill, ne ir Belfast, a distance of 66 miles. Lieutenant Drummond's apparatus hers been lately sent to the Commissioners of Northern Light.houses, to ascertain its applicability to light-house purposes, and to compare its egrets with the lenses use?, in the French light.houses, the light from which has been distinctly seen across the channel. Previous to the commencement of Mr. Shea's exhibition, Mr. Hemming explained the manner in which the light was produced, by projecting a jet of the mixed gasses ignited on lime, which produced a globe of most brilliant radiating light, that excited the highest admiration. The whole exhibition was alike entertaining and instructive, and was warmly applauded by the crowded company who filled the theatre, amongst whom were several of the fair sex.

His Royal Highness arid his attendants, wishing to travel as privately as possible, occupied two plain car.. ri ages, but it having been rumoured at Holbeach that so illustrious a personage was expected, some twenty or thirty personages assembled around the carriages, anxious tat catch a glimpse of Royalty ; the Duke very politely bowed to the byst imiers, but left Holbe +eh almost immediatr4, l'his visa of his Royal Highness is probably the fir , ; t rhos any member of the English Royal Family hats passed through that part of the country since the time of King John, who lost hie baggage in crossing the Washes, and, after a narrow escape himself, took refuge in Swimshead Abbey.

DRURY LANE THEATRE.—Mr. War(le last night sustained the arduous part of Othello. His per tnrmance was eenerally judicious and sensible. It wan such as we should expe,it from a long and well tr.ined actor. If it never rose to the sublime it never descended to the ridi. culous. We were not thrilled by any bright fl vibes of A enius, neither were we annoyed by any very gross mis , ; prehension of the character. Y et we th i nk that Mr. Warde's performance would h ave b een b etter if, in the hind act, Othello's rev e ngeful feelings h a d b een expresse d in a less vociferous manner, and those of a more melan choly nature hid been given with less of womanish tear fulness. In attempting to make a great deal of Othello's ueautiful valedictory speech, we think that Mr. Wards i'ershot the mark. He was " like Niche—all tears." Doubtless Othello feels deeply ; but he is a warrior, an d •ven in the depth of his affliction some touch of the war rior should still be observable. He should not he all woman. To speak as a whole of Mr. Wanle's Othello, we think it highly honourable to his talent --t o his study --to his industry : of genius we say no king. Mr. theready bas a true conception of the character of /ago, Ind that conception he fully embodied. The c larae•er of Cassia was, fir the most part, well represented by Mr. Cooper. But, surely, there is no necessity for roaring out Those hits of morality which occur after his drunken trans gression. S .ch a noise ought certainly to have drawn Othello from his bed a second time.
