bead of the people, if ever any just and righteous , ' occasion should arise. —(Cheers.)—The Union,: then, made no attack upon the privileges of the Arietocrecy, and none upon the just prerogative of the Kingly office.—(Cheers.)—lt was against an: odious Oligarchy of 154 individuals, who, unjustly, deprived both the King, the Aristocracy, and the people, of their rights, that all the legal efforts of the Union were directed. It was, therefore, that they had adopted as the motto of their medals," The Con stitution ; nothing less and nothing more." They' only a.ked for the Constitution under which their forefathers flourished ; and when they had got that, it would be time enough to consider whether any improvements were necessary. Standing upon this righteous and holy ground, their cause was certain to triumph in the end. So long as they Claimed only their Constitutional and undeniable rights, and avoided all abstract and disputable improvements, and confined themselves strictly to legal and peace ful operations, they were secure ; neither the law yer, with his quibbles and his sophistry, no the soldier, with his sword, could make any impression upon themo—(Cheers.)—lt was, however, abso lutely necessary that the members Of the Union should keep strictly within the limits of the law, acrd then, he doubted not, but that they would shortly be enabled to take up a position where " the gates of hell could not prevail against them." .—(Cheers.)—Mr. A. concluded by proposing— " The people of Englandmay they speedily recover their lest rights, and he fully and fairly represented in their own house of Parliament." G. F. MuNTz, Esq. then' rose to propose the health of General IA Fayette and the National Guard of Faris; in doing which he claimed the Cent attention of the meeting, while he offered few remarks upon that great and extraordinary man. Though born to the title of Marquis, at the period of the first revolution, he renounced that honorary distinction in order to act in conformity with the general genius and feeling of the French people.— (Cheers.) -s—lie had the good word of all classes of the French community; and although, in principle, a stout republican, he had, nevertheless (convinced that, in France, a Constitutional Monarchy was best suited to its interests), sacrificed his own individual opinions upon an isolated and ill-understood question for the general welfare of his fellow-countrymen. —This was an example for English reformers.— (Cheers.)—The obstinate and impolitic manlier in which some reformers maintained abstract no lions of their own, in opposition to confessedly generally received doctrines of necessary reform, re minded him (Mr. M.) of an army laying siege to a fortress, who refused to take the citadel unless they all 'went in at different windows—(Cheers)—for getting that their strength lay in first making u breach at say one point which was vulnerable— (Loud cheers)—and then choosing, if they pleased, at what window they wished to amuse themselves. —(Cheers.) The great fault of all reformers was, they were too much wedded to favourite theories, in. stead of combining upon one common essential point. —(Cheers.) Mr. Muntz,after paying a well merited compliment to La Fayette for his connection with Dr. Franklin and Washington, concluded, amidst the most vehement cheering, by proposing " General La Fayette, sad the National Guard of France ; arid thanks to them for their noble conduct in the late glorious revolution." The CHAIRMAN—We are now come to die most important toast of the day. It must he in the recol lection of all that it was the workingelasses of Paris who first came forward and completed the great event which they were that day met to celebrate.— (Cheers.) Those noble fellows came forward spon taneously,almost without arms, and instantly wrested the sceptre from the tyrant's hands.—(Cheers,) — During three days the whole city of Paris was placed at their mercy, but hi no single instance that he (Mr. A.) could learn, was their power abused. No murder, no revenge, no robbery, no violence, against the defenceless or the unarmed, tarnished the glory of these great days. lu the year 1789 the working glasses also behaved nobly ; but their conduct was afterwards stained with many crimes, much to be lirmented, but easily to be accounted for. The work ing classes of Paris had now, however, nobly re deemed their character. They had reconquered the liberties of their country, without the commission of a single crime, and then peacefully delivered those liberties into the hands of the House of Commons, in which House he trusted that sacred deposit would be safe.—(Cheers.) He would give them " The Working dotes of the city of Paris, who have nobly recleaned the errors of the first revolution, and given glorious proof that tyrants can be humbled without the aid of en aristocracy." Mr. G.EDsioNne said •he had a toast to submit to the meeting which he knew would afTord them great pleasure, and which they would drink with the tit most enthusiasm, Piz., " The patriotic Editors of the public Press of Paris, who first 'resisted the arbitrary Ordinances of the tyrant Charles X."— (Cheering.) It was a remarkable fact, that the whole revolution in France originated with gentle men of the Press, who, when the tyrant issued his triple ordinances, suspending the Press—annulling the elections, and abridging the privileges of the electors—nobly proclaimed their determined resist ante to those arbitrary edicts. The conductors of the public Press, particularly in England, had been charged with a want of principle, and with a ready subserviency to those in power. He did not believe those imputations upon the public Press and its conductors; and when ha saw so many patriotic Editors, at a period when the power of the tyrant was unabated—boldly denouncing the ordinances, and defying all the consequences of Royal venge ance, he could not but conclude that they must be men possessing the most exalted and noble prin. eiples—(Cries at the extreme end of the room, " W e it was quite impossibl e can't hear")--.and, in tact, that above one-third could hear what fell from the lips of the speaker, who concluded by stating that the London Press had mainly aided the cause o f gen eral liberty, and he denied that the conductors were that servile and corrupt body which they bed been so illiberally described.—(Cheers.) Mr. HADLEY said he rose for the purpose of prti posing a toast which ho felt persuaded they would drink with the honour which it deserved. Much at; he admired the toasts which had been given in ho nour of the National Guards of Paris, and the work in classes of that city, he could not refuse his warmest admiration of those 'brave French soldiers who re fused to imbrue their hands in the blood of the people. When he considered in what manner a soldier was educated—.that a blind, implicit, uncon ditional submission to the commands of his stye riot; wee the very **sauce of his duty--be was al most inclined to believe in the general opi n i o n, t h at m ilitary discipline extracted from the heart of the soldier all the feelings of the citizen, and almost every trace of humanity. But what was the trime phant fact, as exhibited In the recent • victory at Paris P.—that many of those brave soldiers, with a virtuoue indignation which did them immortal ho flour, threw down their arms and refused to fire on the people. They knew that their King, by his ty rannical ordinances, had violated the Constitution which he had sworn, on the altars of his country, to maintain inviolate, and they felt they were no longer bound to obey his arbitrary mandates. A more mad or wicked instance of a King violating a Constitution was oilier before exhibited to the world, and a just retribution has attended his tyrannical acts—the loss Of his throne, and the execration of mankind. Mr. Hadley then proposed--- Those brave Preach soldiers who refused to imbrue their hands in the blood of she people."-.-(Loud cheering.) The following toasts were next proposed, all of which were most enthusia s tic a llyappla u ded :•—• 0 May the soldier novo, forgot the duty of the citizen." " The British Lam -,..ruay he never rise n anger, nor Ile down In fear." " The heroic people of Wormle; et,il tney the futt Gowtrotsteut nifty nitwit their liLrrty t intteutly meet the 44 it fleserves.

Old England ; and may those that ill-use it be *pee& kicked out of it." " Three cheers for our fair countrywomen." JOTIN BEAUDSWORTIIi Esq., next, in a short in troductory speech; proposed the health of their worthy Chairman, Thomas Attwood, Esq.—(The cheering on the announcement of this tout lasted for some minutes.) Mr. Al-moon—Gentlemen, I feel as a man and an Englishman ought to feel, on having my health received in this extraordinary manner. Placed by your favour at the head of this great Association, my constant study has been to endeavour to direct it well, I have neglected no possible means which I have thought calculated to give security, system, order, and success to your operations.—(Cheers.)— That my humble labours have given you satisfaction the honourable badge which I wear (alluding to the gold medal and chain which Mr. A. wore, presented to him by the Union, at a former meeting), and your conduct upon this occasion, are to me, very gratify ing proofs.--(Tremendous cheers.)--I have made many friends, it seems—(Cheers)—perhaps, some enemies. ---(Loud cries of " No, no.")—Certainly, I have had a good deal to contend with, and have had occasion for some little nerve. Many of my friends attempted to alarm me with all manner of terrible representations. They told me that I should set in motion a tremendous principle, which no human power could control—that I should, like a Franken skin, create a monster with gigantic strength, en dued with life, but not with reason, that would hunt me about the earth to my own destruction. Look around now upon this peaceful and magnificent as semblage--are we not all met here the friends of the law ?—(Yes, yes)and of the peace and order of society ? What possible mischief can arise from men animated with the same motives that animate you ?—And, as for me, what possible danger do I incur ?—(None, none; great cheering). lam like a father in the midst of a pretty numerous family— ( Laughter and great cheering)---or, like a General surrounded by his faithful soldiers.—(Cheers.) — Where is the man among you, who would injure me P—Where is the man who would not follow me to death' in a righteous cause ?—(The cheering was immense on the di livery of this passage, which lasted for some minutes, accompanied by cries, of " All, see, Gentlemen, your hearts are mine, and mine is yours; we will go on in our peaceful and legal career, and by Goers grace we will recover the liberties of our country—not by violence and anarchy, or brute force, but by the peaceful, organised, and Magnificent display of the will of the people. When the Barons of Runny mede recovered the liberties of England from the tyrant John, they took up the bow, and the spear, the battle-axe, and the sword, and they were justi fied in so doing. Thank God, we have no occasion now to take up murderous and destructive weapons like these, the progress of education and knowledge have changed the state of things—our weapons are union, truth, justice, and reason—our sword is " the sword of the spirit," which " is the will of the people."—(Cheers.)—And let no one doubt that this great moral sword is not sufficient for every just and useful parpose.—(Cheers.)—Look round again upon this assembly, and I will say, show me twenty such dinners as this, and I will show you the governors of England—not the governors by vio lence, anarchy,_ or brute force, but by the moral agency of public opinion, peacefully and legally in fluencing the opinions and the conduct of the Go vernment.—(Great cheers,)--I am now about pro posing the last toast, and I must request that, after it is drank, you will all retire to your respective homes. Your good conduct is our strength, and I beseech you to bear this great truth in mind, upon this and every other occasion. We will now part with the concluding toast— " Peace and good-will to all mankind." This toast ;HS received with great enthusiasm, in he midst of which Mr. Attwood, and the rest of he immense company, retired, the band again play ng God save the King." The following songs were sung in the course of he evening:— THE GATHERING OF THE BIRMINGHAM UNION. Over mountain—over plain, Echoing wide from sea to sea, Peals, and shall not peal in vain, The trumpet call of Liberty— Britain's guardian spirit cries, " Britons, awake, awake, .arise ! ! !" Chorus of the People—Britain's guardian, &c. Sleep no more the sleep of shame, Awake and break Oppression's chain; Lull'd by Freedom's empty name, Worse than slaves no more remain ; Freedom's rights, not Freedom's name, Learn to know, and dare to claim. Freedom's rights, &c. Shall honest labour toil in vain, While plunder fattens through the land : Still shall a tyrant's faction reign, People and king at once command ? No ! it may nut, shall not be, For we must, we will be free. No! it may not, &c. Will you still sleep, while, one by one, Each sacred dear bought right is lost; Rights which your fathers' broadswords won, Rights which your fathers' life blood cost. No'! it may not, shall not be, • For we must, we will be free. No ! it may not, &c, See rises from his bed of fame, Each chief of glorious Runnymede; With Hampden ! history's noblest name, They call us to our country's need. They call—and can we heedless be? No ! we must, we will be free. They call, &c. But not to war and blood they call, They bid us lift no sword nor gun. p eact ,fo, but firm, join one and all, To claim our rights and they are won. The British Lion's voice alone, Shall gain for Britain all her own. The British, &c.

It is said that the King of En yland it dewl,and that a revolution has tuhen place in France. We shall look with anxiety for further particulars." The littal illness of his late MA. JISTY was not publicly announced in • London until the Vith of April ; and when the mail which arrived in India on the 3d of March left England, it was not even whispered that his health was affected. The news of the revolution in France cannot reach Calcutta Inc two or three months to come. We eau eanilS , imagine the Bur priite of the Calcutta editor to find the rumour, which leached him ho long ago, so surprisingly confirmed in both particulars. Casmat.t. speaks of com►ng events coking their shadows beibre thein ; but a shadow of four or five months is an extraordinary one; to be sure, it had to travel from Paris to Bengal. Wh a t will Sir W....vratt SCOTT hay to the Calcutta► rumour? Wilt he lapse into his old FRENCH PAPERS. THE FRENCH NATIONAL GUARD. SECTION I. " Art. 1.

Royal ordinances will determine the organization Of the battalions and companies, the number and rank Of the officers, and the composition and installation of the council of administration. " Paris, Oct. 9. (Signed) " LOUIS PIIILLIPPE." The Minister of the Interior bad scarcely de scended from the tribune, when General Mathieu Dumas claimed to be heard : " Gentlemen," sttitidte lion. Member, " the law constitutive of the National Guard has been expected by you with the liveliest impatience. The state ment of the motives and the project of law, which you have just heard, leave no doubt in your minds respecting the importance end need of that code, without which this great raising up of all the virile portion of the nation could not be regulated, end wisely directed towards the two-fold purpose of the confirmation of public order and the d e f ence o f t h e country. Every one of us, Gentlemen, immedi ately informed of the patriotic efforts of his consti tuents, can bear testimony to them. For these mo tives of urgency, I have the honour to propose to the Chamber to nominate immediately a commission of 18 Members directed to examine the two pro jects of law presented by the GovernMent. I think that the commission should be extended to that number, in order that it s l a b ours may not be inter rupted by the absence of some of the Members called away to the electoral colleges, and that as soon as the Chamber is completed it may be ready to make its report. " Gentlemen, never was a more serious subject submitted to your consideration. It is nothing less than the whole of France standing up armed, or de manding arms. By a wo n d er f u l concord, the French people, after having regained th e i r lib erties, bold themselves ready to defend them, bath within and without, in the same, spirit of union, of confidence in themselves alai in the Government which they have chosen. They manifest a most decided wish to see the laws prevail. They pray you, they urge you to give them that which must be the surest gua rantee of their faithful execution, Of all the prodi gies produced by love of liberty, the greatest, with out doubt, is the spontaneous formation of more than a million of National Guards. And this is not a tumultuous movement; but rather a regular organi zation, carried back almost everywhere, to the first bases of this great institution. " Gentlemen, good laws strike their roots so deeply into the French soil, that the commotions which subvert empire% could not remove them. " The law constitutive of the National Guard of 1791 has been entirely regarded, followed, and pro- visionally executed, and the vivifying principle of the free election has been entirely adopted on the ap pearance of the tricoloured flag, at Ab out 2,500 battalions are organized on these principles. The elments of in' approximative eaten lation, which give me confidence to present these results, are the returns already furnished by the Commanders of the National Guards, for more than 400 cantons, taken in different circles, and formin g a seventh of the 2,800 cantons into Which the terri tory of France is subdivided. " The effective force of these 2,500 battalions amounts to not less than 1,300,000 or 1,400,000 men, and as their organization proceeds in the rural communes with more or less of local difficulty, we may presume that on receiving their full complement of men on the returns, it will reach the figures which we have stated. " In this number of 1,300,000 inscribed Na tional Guards, we have ascertained th►►t 500,000 are armed, and about 320,000 are dressed and equipped. The Minister of War, in concert with the Minister of the Interior and the Commander•in- Chief, have taken measures to complete and increase by degrees the general equipment of the National Guards of the kingdom. Every battalion has some companies d'elite. One hundred companies of ar tillery are already formed, armed, dressed, equipped. Some have already received, and others expect with impatience, the materiel which the Minister of War is anxious to place at their disposal. 1,700 sappers and miners, equally well dressed, armed, and equipped, represent our force .of engineers ; more than 400 companies of cavalry are mounted, equip ped, and in the finest order. " In every quarter is displayed the same spirit of independence and of submission to the law, the same emulation to receive and benefit by instruc tion. In every quarter is this free election of about 50,000 officers the command has been offered to the ancient military officers or a üb-officers, who themselves sought that honour as a new recompense for their services in war. To what other chief, gentlemen, could the King in his wisdom confide this immense stationary army, and the care of organizing its va rious fractions, than to our honourable colleague General Lafayette ? He who has consecrated his entire life to the worship and defence of liberty was assuredly the person most worthy of fulfilling that .extraordinary commission. " In a word, gentlemen, it is from this mass of citizen soldiers, exercising and improving every day in the use of the different weapons which they mield, that the moveable National Guard will b• taken,—a powerful and valuable assistant to our 'grand army of the line, eager to rival the glory of their b►ethren, who have sprung from the same bosom with themselves, mid proud to march to gether• under the command of a Citizen King, who made his first essay in arms with their sires, and under that same colour which has just raised liberty from its prostrate condition, and which is now the best protection of the Crown." (From Le Temps.) THE CITIZEN KING. We gave yesterday some information respecting the new peek/ de loi for regulating the National Guard, and particularly respecting the arrangements which relate to punishment and discipline. We are credibly informed to-day that the presentation of that projet de lai was retarded for some days by a scruple on the part of his Majesty, which may be considered as the outward expression of a deep so- licitude for the nation who was the object of it. At the moment when the Ministry was designing to submit the law to the Chamber, and when one of its members even held in his hand an expose of the reasons in which it originated, the King desired to be made more fully acquainted with all the ar ticles of that code, which had been already dis cussed in council. He meditated upon it for some hours, and thus the severity of the punishments to enforce discipline, stated in our yesterday's journal, attracted his attention. He was particularly dis satisfied with the proviso which deprived of his civic rights the citizen, who, after repeated acts of disobedience, persisted in refusing to go upon ser vice. He expressed his fears with great vivacity to the Minister of the Interior—he entered into va rious statements, all full of the kindest consideration for the Natiohal Guard, which was engaged, he said, in a service proving at once its generosity and its devotion; he enlarged upon the danger of spread ing discontent by a disproportionate severity of pu nishment among citizens naturally unnacustomed to the heavy yoke of severe discipline. Assuredly there is no solicitude more noble, more popular, more fitted to excite the gratitude of the nation ; but in this conjuncture we can only applaud the opinions of the venerable Lafayette, who, in vited to this conferenc e , i ns i s t e d, as we state d yes terday, on the necessity of punishing severely for the general interest every person who failed in the civic duties which were individually and legally im posed upon him. It is added, that in spite of the conviction of M. Lafayette, the Kiwi wished to have this important question submitted to more mature consideration, and that such was the sole cause of the delay which we noticed in the presentation of a law which has been expected with such lively impatience." (From the Messager des Chambres, Oct. 11.) SPAIN. [EXTRACTED FROM A PAIVATIC TATUM.) MADRID, OCT. 1. The Society of the Anilleros, which is the organ lef the moderate part of the nation, has just com pleted its labours on the Council of State. It ap pears that the system of the illustrious Chancellor de l'llopital has prevailed, and that the council will be composed of fifteen members. The following are the candidates who have been selected to be presented to the Monarch for this choice:— " Lieutenant-General O'Farril, formerly Minister of War, who has long been a resident at Paris. " Auguel Muriel, formerly canon of Seville, die tinguished by his political and literary talents, who has also resided at Paris since the last peace. " Evaristo Perez de Castro, formerly Deputy and Minister of Foreign Affairs. Calatrava, formerly Deputy, and Minister at the time of the separation of the Cortes in 1823. " The Count de Torten°, Deputy to the Cortes in 1812 and 1820, where he was remarked for his brilliant eloquence. " Vadillo, formerly Deputy and Minister. " Count d'Ofalia, formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs, and at present Ambassador at Paris. " Ballasteros, Minister of Finance since the re storation. " General Alava, formerly Deputy.

" Aranjo, a rich landowner at the Havannah, formerly Councillor of State, and possessing - great influence in We 'own country. " Erre, formerly Minister of Finance, afterwards in the Council, where he enjoyed immense influence. " Cap Arguelles, formerly Deputy and Minister of Finance, at the time of the Administration called las side perlas (the seven pearls.) " Roman Felin, formerly Minister of the Interior, in which he gave proofs of a firm and decided cha racter. Lastly, py it M.

"The Marquis de Casa hugo, Director of the Bank of St. Ferdinand, would perform the functions of Secretary-General to the Council of State. All the Secretaries of State to be in right and in fact members of the Council of State, so long as they retain their portfeuille. In a word, it is intended to support the Government by the most remarkable talents of all parties. The first act of the new Mi nistry, it is affirmed, is to be a general amnesty for a ll those who are exiles from their country on ac count of their opinions, what ever they may be. " Several other changes are going to be proposed to King Ferdinand for his approbation. Thus the general direction of the naval department would be confided to Lieutenant-General Cayetano Valdes, formerly Deputy and Rege nt ; t h at of the Ordnance to Count Quequi, formerly Viceroy of America, Lieutenant-General Abisbal would be Inspector- Gentral of the Infantry, and Lieutetiant*General Ballasteroo, an emigrant, Inspector-General of the Militia. The Caisae d'Amortissement will, it is asserted, be confided to Messrs. Encimo Piedra, who is actually in place; Isturbez (formerly Deputy), an emigrant, and Zelutta, likewise formerly a Deputy, and an emigrant. They will be invited to present without delay, a general plan to unite all debits of the State, and to consolidate the national credit. " Every body agrees in saying that M. Andre Coballero, banker, at Madrid, formerly direclor of the Bank of St. Ferdinand, will be invested with the direction of the Treasury. It is added, that the King intends to choose four aides-du-camp from among the most esteemed and most able General Officers, who will be attached to his person, and charged with the important and delicate missions which his Majesty may please to confide to them:s (From the ConstitutionneL) PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. ALGIERS, SM. 18. The state of uncertainty is protracted. The country is without a chief of the civil administra tion, and its internal and deliniti7e organization is suspended. We are still expecting M. Volland. What,can keep him away ? If we were less ac quainted with the capacity of General Clause!, we might also be uneasy at the stupration of military affairs. How, indeed, can we help being astonished at seeing 20,000 disposable troops resolve to remain confined in a circuit extending only a league from the place, beyond which line we cannot pass with out running the risk of being struck by an enemy's In order to form a correct opinion, we must recol lect the situation in which General Clausel found affairs on his arrival. The army was weakened by diseases—the mind of the soldier depressed by melancholy reflections. He saw the fruits of Victory escape him by the egotism of his chiefs, and the unfavourable light in which they were received by the new Government. By suf f ering the magic influence of victory to be dispelled without profiting by it, the inhabitants of the, country had acquired a fatal confidence in their strength which seemed to be respected. Those in the capital no longer thought themselves safe, though protected by a victorious army, which might abandon them at a short notice. Lastly, the Jews triumphed, thanks to the seduction sowed by their chiefs; and the shameful superiority which they were suffered to affect, equally incensed all the sub jects of the old regency of every class. It was in the midst of these numerous causes of weakness and discouragement, that General Clausel appeared and revived the hopes of all. He firat at tended to what was most urgent, and it was evidenk, at once that he was equal to the task, as soon as he was seen to resist the importunities with which he .was surrounded, and weaken the Jewish influence, which offended every body. The first measures are generally approved. The army is being re-organized, the vacancies are filled up with numerous promotions; confidence revives, and the observer may easily judge that in a short time decisive operations will justify the delay that has hitherto taken place. Another cause induces us to presage the speedy submission of the tribes nearest to Algiers. For tune has undertaken to do what prudent policy could not effect. The Jew who causes himself to be panegyrized in some obscure French journals, which do not fear to represent him as the Providence of the army, is going to be deprived, by an act of legal justice, of the means of corruption which he has so successfully employed up to this day. With his money he will lose his friends and protectors, and will no longer hinder the inhabitants from sin cerely joining the French cause. All the Consular offices are eagerly opened to furnish proofs of his misdeeds ; our 's furnished yes. terday two overwhelming documents, on which the new tribunal will immediately decide. The magistrates will be installed, and have their first sitting on Monday next. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held at the The Court was occupied in considering the im portant subject of the rapid progress of the steam vessels tip and down the river. The LORD MAYOR, in presenting a petition on the subject, commented upon the very great hazard to which the liver and properties of the public were ex posed by the dangerous speed of the steam-vessels, the owners of which, or those employed by them, seemed wholly to disregard the regulations made by that Court for their direction. Mr. Honwonn begged to refer the honourable Court to a paragraph in the Time newspaper, in confirmation of the opinion that the steam-vessels continued to pass along with unabated velocity. lie had outside the owner of a coal-barge, which was stated in that paragraph to have been sunk in the Thames, and there were other evidences of the awful danger to which the public were thus subjected. But he was convinced that the Court would take the important question into their most serious deliberation. The Court then referred the petition to a Com mittee, and we were given to understand that most decisive measures were to be taken by the Hon. Members of it. We direct the attention of the charitable to the case of a poor widow, named ELIZARKTII HARRIS, (her petition will be found in our advertising columns) who, it appears, has pecuniary claims on the late Duke of Your to the amount of 1321. 21. 4d., which claims have been acknowledged as just, but have not as yet been paid. The case, as set forth in the advertisement, is an unusu ally hard one. We hope the Executors of his Royal High. ness will look to it. The poor woman asks only justice; surely, this, at least, she is entitled to. TILE OFFICIAL KALENDAR, BY MR.

THE QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS. --- This morning the dividends on the several portions of the public debt, which became due on the ith instant, corn. menced paying at the Bank of England, The London Bankers signed for the dividends en stock they hold yes terday. The amount of the dividends to be paid to the public was between six and seven millions sterling. The dividends are payable on Reduced Annuities, the Three and a Half per Cents. of 1818, the Three and a Half per Cents. Reduced, the Four per Cents, of Long Annuities for 30 years, and Bank Stock. Judging from the full attendance of the holders of stock ut the Bank this morning, it. would appear that money is rather in demand. The Royal Society is at present the scene of much division on the subject of a future President. Many of the members have long desired to have the Duke of Sussex in their chair, nut only on account of his illus trious rank, but because his Royal Highness is a known zealous patron of learning and science, and has space ►vithal at Kensington Palace to have select meetings, and otherwise to entertain them in a distinguished manner. Others wish to continue D. Ctrative, Esq. (Sir H. Davv's successor)-...while a third party is mentioned as being desirous to elect Mr. llgascim. In this state of things Mr. GILBERT has written to the Society, that as be understands the Duke had been applied to on the subject, and that hie Royal Highness had consented to be proposed for the Presidentship, he (Mr. G.) declared that he must abstain from allowing himself to be put in nomination in apposition to the Royal Duke. The subject is one that is exc►ting amazing deal of interest, especially amongst the F. R. S. 'e. There is a well-known story of the Dutch relligg gunpowder to their enemies: in their late &atingle with the Belgians, they-appear to have thrown their eon rap into the bargain, LONDON; WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOOR, 1f0" -- ` •• L . the By an Extraordinary Express receirSs‘el Herald this morning from its coirelpeo44".
