The speech of Lord DURHAM—which will be found in another part of The Sun—at a public dinner given to him onWednesday last at Gateshead, was such as became an English statesman to make and an English assembly to listen to. A more frank, independent, and high-spirited one, we never read. It is worthy of the best days of British history. His Lord ship, with modest pride, avowed that he was the main individual engaged in drawing up the Reform Bill, for that Earl GREY intrusted it almost exclusively to his superintendence, know ing well, what every man in the country knows also, that it could not be intrusted to more vigorous or efficient hands. Yet, though na- 1 turally attached to his own offspring, Lord i DURHAM is no weak, over-indulgent parent. He confesses, with manly candour, that it is not without numerous defects; but then, as he truly says, the people have the remedy in their own hands. If they desire to perfect the Reform Bill, they can do so; the INlinistry is not deaf, like the Tories ; but ready and willing to turn an attentive ear to every reasonable suggestion of the people. How different the frank, straight forward boldness of this truly English senator, from the system of humbug and duplicity pur sued from time immemorial by the Tories ! His Lordship speaks out, sternly and deci sively. We never knew a Tory, under simi lar circumstances, who did not act upon TA LLEYRAND'S notion, that " speech was given to man in order to conceal his thoughts." One of the, most marked character istics of Lord DURHAM'S speech, is the utter absence of that cold, aristocratic hauteur, of which he has been so often (and we think un justly) accused. There is nothing of party exclusiveness, nothing of caste about it. It is the broad, enlightened address, not of a Whig aristocrat, but of an independent English .gen tleman, to his fellow-men. In a word, it is the A ppeal of intelligence to intelligence :- 0 I know of nothing," says his Lordship, " that the intellig,"nce of the country--and when I speak of the people, 1 s peak not of anything but the intelligence and education , not th e p ro p ert y , but the intelligence and edu cation of the country—l say I know of nothing which the intelligence of the country bas set its heart upon, and which it ought to possess, that it will not eventually obtain.—(Cheers.) I therefore say it is the duty of wise Statesman to examine the objects the people have in view, and what they are determined to obtain ; and when he is satisfied of their justice, he should not wait to be forced into the adoption of such measures ; he should not do it upon expediency or compulsion, but grant it freely and cordially; for believe me, that the boon granted upon compulsion, however the object may be obtained, loses half its grace, and very often all its value.—(Loud cheers.)" Already quite sufficiently vexed with his Lord ship, for the amazing inconvenience he has put them to, the Tories must be quite frantic when Oley read this declaration. It is the death-tick i n ear—the knell of all their hopes. Again, il s :lrd DURHAM strenuously insists on the adoption of a system of national education. 'Why, this is woe and worse ! It is not merely the knell, but the absolute extinguisher of the faction. Were the people still to con tinue ignorant, there might be some chance for them—for like blind moles they work best in the dark—but when once education becomes gene ral, as it will be, and that speedily, it is clear they will have nothing left for it but to cry out with CHESTER, "Good Night to Marmion," or with Wolsey, " Farewell, a long farewell to all my greatness !" Lord DURHAM'S speech is, in every respect, a marked sign of the times. Considering his connection with the head of the Cabinet, it may, we think not unreasonably, be looked on as official ; and viewing it in this light, we boldly say, it is an honour to the Whig. Administration. His Lordship throws himself, not on the mere ‘, property," but on the " intelligence" of the cokt9tly, for support. He implores his coun trylnen to keep their attention constantly fixed on the Government ; not to cajole, not to flatter - dun ° it ; but to set it right where it goes wrong ; to walk side by side with it ; to temper its move ments when it hurries too much in advance ; to quicken them when it proceeds too sluggishly. Mr. CUTHBERT RIPPON took an equally in dependent tone with Lord DURHAM. This gentleman is one of the sturdiest and most consistent of our reformers. He belongs not to the headlong, but to the temperate, move ment party. He is an advocate for the repeal of the Septennial Act ; for the expulsion of the Bishops from the House of Lords ; for every measure, in short, which has utility for its object. The spirit in which he spoke of the proceedings of the late session, does credit to his manliness and sagacity. He agreed that it did much, but regretted that it did not do more• On this point there cannot be two opinions ; but then, as Lord DURHAM observed in reply, every candid—every generous mind will make some little allowance for the difficulties with which Ministers were thickly surrounded. Granted; but such allowance will only be made on the promise that the past conduct of Govern ment shall be no voucher for the future. Henceforth they must act, not hesitate. They are floating on the surface of a stormy ocean ; and it is not enough that they rest on their oars and wait for fairer weather ; they must be, every man at his post, and make all sail for port. Up to the present moment they have kept in credit on the score of the Reform Bill. That will avail them no longer. But we see quite enough in Lord DURHAM'S speech to justify us in predicting that Ministers will not be found wanting on the day of trial. Every suggestion that the intelligence of the country puts forth, his Lordship says, will be attended to. Well then : this same intelligence demands the repeal of the Septennial Act—it demands the ejectment of the Bishops from the House of Lords—it demands a revision of the Corn Laws. Shall these demands be granted? Aye or No, my Lord ? The reply we hope and believe will be, " The Ayes have it." The Paris Papers of Saturday, which arrived this morning, mention the arrival, at Bayonne, of M. MIGNET, on his way to Paris from Madrid. A telegraphic despatch from Bayonne states, upon the authority of M. MIGNET, that the road from Vittoria to Bayonne has been cleared of the rebels, in consequence of a defeat near Tolosa, where they had been attacked by CAS TAGNOS, at the head of a small force. The rebels had been driven as far as Mondragon. Another telegraphic despatch from Perpignan announces that tranquillity remained uninter rupted in Barcelona and Gerona up to the 24th. Nothing appears to have been known of Don CARLOS at the date of the last accounts received by the French Government, and we understand that our own Ministry are up to this hour equally ignorant of his move ments. Whether in the field or not, however, his cause is very desperate. He is probably, like a true Bourbon, waiting to see what legi timacy will do for him, before he hazards his own person ; but, even in Spain, the Legiti matists will not continue to risk their necks for a prince who aspires to a crown, without having courage enough to face the obstacles which stand in the way of his acquiring it. German Papers arrived this morning, but ,heir contents are destitute of interest.

A copy of the Speech of the Dutch Minister for Foreign Affairs to the States General on Thursday last has arrived in town. In this document, which differs but little, as far as the Belgian Question is concerned, from the Speech of the King, the Minister, after giving a history of the negotiations since the period of his last communication to the States General, and stat ing that the plenipotentiaries of the Dutch King had to encounter resistance at every step of the negotiation, thus wishing to have it inferred that they had been very desirous of bringing matters to a close, says— " I have now reasons to announce to your High Mighti nesses that within a few days a prospect has opened, not only of the settlement of the points in question (the garrison of Maestricht and the navigation of the Meuse), but also of the successful result of the endeavours to come to a general arrangement. " A mission from their Majesties the Emperors of Austria and Russia, and the King of Prussia, to the King, bears decidedly the stamp of their sincere friendship and real interest, that his Majesty has not hesitated immediately to reply to it with unlimited confidence on his part; and if the happy presages do not fail this time, we may expect to see at length a satisfactory conclusion of the efforts and deliberations with which the Government has conducted this difficult negotiation. " Were I permitted to follow my inclination, I might, perhaps, conclude my address with some observations cal culated to throw a light on the political embarrassments of our part of the world, and their influence on the foreign relations of our country. But there are circumstances which are rendered worse by being made the subject of remark. Who, then, will be so presumptuous as to attempt to draw aside a veil which will not bear to be touched, and which it may be salutary to respect ; and bow can I forget that this is not one of those epochs of rare good fortune extolled by the most profound of the Roman historians, when people are at liberty to feel what they will, and to say what they feel?" As, in order to understand the present state of the question, it is necessary to know what the mission is which the Emperors of AUSTRIA and RUSSIA and the King of PRUSSIA have sent to the King of HOLLAND, we are happy in being enabled, from an authentic source, to communicate the facts to our readers with an assurance that they may rely implicitly on every part of our statement. The Mission of Prince SCHWARTZENBERG to the King of HOLLAND was as follows. He was charged, in written instructions, copies of which were immediately given to Lord PAL MERSTON and Prince TALLEYRAND, to repre sent to the King of HOLLAND, not by note, but verbally, the desire of the three Powers to have the 1, / t.igian question brought to a speedy conclusion—t o state to the KING that he, as well as the three Sovereigns, was aware that the peculiar state of Enrone, and other circum stances of moment, rendered the s.ett r lement of the Belgian questio n necessary, an d t h at if he relied on any support from the three Powers, he would find himself ,disappointed, as they had resolved not to countenance any of those pretensions by which the negotiations had been procrastinated. The Prince was fur ther instructed to add, that even on those points respecting which the three Powers had expressed a wish that matters might be arranged between the Dutch and Belgian Governments by mutual concessions, they withdrew all countenance from th e King of HOLLAND, leaving it to Bel gium and Holland to conclude them as they could, without being influenced by other Powers. In these instructions the three Powers make no promise that they will not suffer any armed intervention, by France and England, against Holland ; nor do they give the remotest reason for believing that they would oppose such inter vention. Such was the mission of Prince SCHWART ZENBERG to the KING of HOLLAND, and as that Sovereign is now made to declare, through his Minister, that the mission in question has opened a prospect of the successful result of the endeavours to come to a general arrangement, we are justified in supposing that the five Powers will tie him to his declaration, and that his professions will be put to the test as speedily as possible. The important fact that the three Powers have pledged themselves to Great Britain and France not to give either direct or indirect countenance to any of the pretensions of the King of HOLLAND is fully established. If the Dutch King, after this, should attempt, either by open resistance or secret intrigue, to delay the settlement of the question, Great Britain and France will be bound to adopt coercive measures, of the result of which little doubt can be entertained, as Austria, Russia, and Prussia cannot in honour, and would not in prudence, interfere on be half of the King of HOLLAND. We are not, however, quite satisfied as to the sincerity of the professions of the King of HOL LAND. He has been too long a waiter on Provi dence for us to believe that he will yield other wise than from necessity. At one time he held off, because he thought the Tories would come into power in this country ; at another, because there appeared to him to be a probability of a convulsion in France, which would prevent that country from giving assistance to Belgium ; and now lie is in hopes that Carlism will triumph in Spain, and that the three Powers will lay hold of the opportunity of bringing the question between absolutism and freedom to a fierce and decisive struggle. In his present hope he is doomed to be as much disappointed as he has been in other instances ; but he will not yield whilst hope, however glimmering, remains to him. Whilst there is a chance of any Power coming to the rescue, the King of HOL LAND will hold out, but the chance is feeble indeed, and in a few weeks will, probably, have disappeared even from the brain of the Dutch Sovereign.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Bombay Papers to the 16th June, have been received at the North and South American Coffeehouse. (From the Papers of the 15th June.) Positive orders have been received for making extensive re ductions in the Indian navy, to be in operation from the first proximo. The superintendent's salary to be reduced from 3,500 rupees to 2,000 a month ; the storekeeper's department to be entirely abolished, and the force of the Indian navy to be cut down to four ships and a steamer; all the officers whom this measure will throw out of active service are to have their choice, either to retire on the pension of their respective ranks, or to hang on as supernumeraries. Great reforms are rumoured as likely to be enforced in other services. The steam subscription at the Presidency has now reached 38,000 rupees.. THE FUNDS. The information from Spain is rather of a vague description, and nothing official to be depended upon as yet ; but upon the whole we are convinced that the insurrection in Spain has not gained much ground, and is still confined to the northern province. If we can credit French accounts, Don Carlos has resumed his former position in Portugal, where, perhaps, he will make the best bargain he can for himself with the Queen of Spain, as it is evident he has not sufficient force to com mence any serious operations. In respect to Portuguese affairs, we have no direct arrival as yet. A Morning Journal states that the Spanish Ambassador has received an express from Falmouth stating that Don Miguel with his army had retreated to Santarem ; this may be correct, but to the present hour it requires confirmation. The dark cloud, which for a length of time hung over the Dutch affairs, appears now to disperse, and we may expect soon to hear of its coming to a final settlement, in consequence of stock, and the improvement of the French Rentes. The British Funds have a more bright appearance than for some time past. _ . Consols which left off on Saturday at 87%is for the Ac. count opened at 8714 %, at which price they arc at present, with the market looking up. The Foreign Funds have also a more favourable appearance; Portuguese New Stock 59 to lA ; Spanish 22, !( 2 . In other securities little doing as yet. The great smash which we announced last week among some of the bill-brokers in the City causes some anxiety on 'Change, as one house has been let in for a very large amount, and the whole is of a very black description. HALF-PAST ONE. We have no confirmation, as yet, of the reported despatches from Lisbon to the Spanish Ambassador. Had a steamer ar rived at Falmouth, no doubt we should have known it in the City ere this. The Funds are not quite so good as in the early part of the morning, when Consols reached 87} fur the Account; but they still maintain the price of 87j j, with little doing. The Foreign Market has also receded a little—Portuguese New Stock 59} ; Spanish 22 %; Dutch 49 %. In other foreign securities nothing doing. We have no reports worth communicating at present. We have this moment received the Hamburg Reporter of Friday last. FUNDS.—The accounts from Spain operate favourably today upon prices. Discount 2 per cent.

The steward asked him what was the matter? Tu which Plielirn answered, " Oh, your honour, the unknown tongue was beard in our chapel. On being asked to ex plain himself, he said, " Your worship, the priest, after praying in Latin, and preaching in Irish, told the people in plain English, which was unknown to 'em all but myself and his reverence, that if they did not behave themselves better, something terrible i❑ troth would visit the parish." EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCE. .A potatoe, dim' out of the garden of Mr. Daniel Bown, officer of excise, at Clutton, a few days ago, produced no less than 142 tubers. The Select Vestry of Marylebone have determined to apply to the Legi s l a t ure f or a Bill empow ering them to ma k e their own gas, to the exclusion of the Companies by which they are now supplied. We know not what are the prospects of advantage which the pro jectors of this scheme bold out to the parishioners, but, judging from all former parochial speculations, we should think it very likely to turn out a job for the benefit of a few individuals. EXTRAORDINARY PIG.--A pig was killed l as t week at the Forston Lunatic Asyl um , we i g hi ng 15 sconeand llbs.

A numerous meeting of this Society was held on Saturday evening, at their rooms in Great Windmill-street, for the pirpose of taking into consideration the following notice of notion given by Dr. Gregory—" That at the next meeting of the Society, the opinion of the Members be taken on the sub je,:t of the resignation of the physicians and surgeons of the General Dispensary, with the view of giving the thanks of the Society to those Gentlemen, for their conduct on this occasion, and of expressing, at the same time, the feeling of this Society relative to what virtually amounts to the sale of appointments." Mr. Pettigrew, the President, in the Chair. Dr. Gregory spoke in general terms of approval of the resignation of the physi cians and surgeons of the General Dispensary in Aldersgate_ street, and moved a resolution to the effect, that it is the opi nion of the Society, that for the interests of the sick poor, and the respectability of the medical profession, appointments to public charities should be free from suspicion that they are open to purchase. It was carried unanimously. Other resolutions were adopted, one of which was, a vote of thanks to the Gen tlemen who had resigned, and another of thanks to his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex for having also resigned his situation as President of the Dispensary.

BRISTOL AND LONDON RAILWAY.--On reference to the advertisement of the Grand Western Railway Committee, it will be seen that an important alteration has been made in the plan, which will enable the projectors of the line to commence operations at once, without staying for the filling up of the original subscription list. It is proposed to commence the line at the two extremities, and to carry it on the Bristol side as far as Bath, and on the London side as far as Reading; the advantage of this will be that operations may be almost immediately commenced, with every prospect of an immediate return for the capital invested ; thus adding a sti mulus to the completion of the line which did not previously exist. Our own conviction is—that by adopting this method the whole line will be much sooner laid down than if the Com mittee had determined to pursue the original course and com plete the road at once.—Bristot Mercury. The post of Storekeeper in the Stationery Office, to which the Key job gave such notoriety, is now filled up, by the appointment of a competent person, totally unconnected with the stationery business ; and re commended only by hi s respecta bi l i ty, ass i du i ty, an d busi ness habits. The individual is Mr. Huntley Gordon, who was privately employed at the Treasury under three suc cessive Secretaries and four Administrations ; and has re cently had the superintendence of the Newspaper depart ment at the Stamp Office. He received the appointment without any solicitation of his own, or the influence of friends, and solely on the ground of his efficiency and merits. Mr. Gordon will be remembered by some of our readers as the private secretary of Sir Walter Sc o tt, b y whom he was esteemed, and treated with much kindness and confidence; in fact, be was the principal depositary of the secret of " the Great Unknown." Mr. Gordon, we believe, was educated for the Church ; but a deafness with which be is afflicted, and which obliges him to use an ear trumpet, prevented his being ordained. This infirmity, however, will not affect the proper performance of his duties at the Stationery .Office; which (i n a ddi t i on to re sponsibility and trustworthiness) require only a clear sight a nd a nicety of touch,—senses which, in Mr. Gordon, have been &sther sharpened than otherwise by the dulness of his hearing faculty. He will be as keenly alive to the q ualities of stationery as he is deaf to contractors..— Spectator.

LONDON 1833. The article in this Number which will ex cite the most attention, and which is evidently meant to act as a sort of monster-mortar to batter down the Whig trenches—as a Congreve-rocket to burst and spread dismay in the Whig citadel— is the one on " the Reform Ministry and the Reformed Parliament." From the praises it somewhat fulsomely lavishes on his osAn saga city, we attribute this bright effusion to the pen of Mr. Croker. It speaks of his Burke-like prescience in foretelling that the Reform Bill will, one day or other, develop a revolu tionary tendency, in the same triumphant man ner in which another Croaker, in the " Good natured Man," alludes to his own similar powers of prophecy. " I told the old lady she would die one day or other, and now you see I am right." One day or other, too, Mr. Croker will be right ; for this reason, that his prediction is of such convenient latitude that it is impos sible it should eventually be wrong. If we ex cept this display of unerring sagacity, the article possesses not one iota of merit. It is noisy and blustering, but inconsistent and inconclusive. It is also sour, morose, and by no means scru pulous in its regard for facts : indeed it deals so largely in fiction, that it reads like a romance, in which light we shall proceed to view it. The plot, then, of this wild fiction, though evidently got up with great care, i 3 full of perplexity. It perpetually teazes us by promising an unravel went which it never fulfils. The characters are still worse. Lord Brougham, who is the mon ster of the piece, is a weak imitation of Franken stein. The author, whose avowed object is to work out a fine Tory moral by disgusting the reader with his Whig hero, has the ill-luck to mar his intentions at every step of his progress He strives to create a prejudice against him by hinting in every scene that he is the avowed patron of corruption, apparently not being at all aware of the inference to which every clear sighted reader must come, namely, that if such had really been the case, no Tory romance writer would have put pen to paper against his Lordship, for this reason, that he would have been advocating Tory principles—playing the Tory game. In a word, Mr. Croker has taken " sling and stone," and singled out the Lord Chancellor for attack, :not because he is the patron, but because he is the foe, of corruption But the issue of the conflict will be against the poet of " Talavera." He is no David, though his adversary is a Goliah. Among the minor personages of Mr. Croker's romance, William Cobbett figures with peculiar effect, as an angel of light to contrast with the demon darkness of the Chancellor's character. As for Sir E. Sug den, he is introduced and dismissed in a paren thesis ; but then, to make up for this defect, we have a fine full-length of the Duke of Wel lington, grim as life—and about as sagacious. As a specimen of the descriptive powers of this romance (which we doubt not will soon be dramatized as a farce for the Adelphi), we sub join the introductory passage. Though a mani fest plagiarism from one of Mr. Cooper's best scenes in the " Pilot," it is not without merit : " His Majesty's Government have fitted out a vessel for a long and perilous voyage of discovery. Some experienced shipwrights and sailors, who witnessed her equipment, pronounced that she was unfit for such an arduous service —that she was ill-planned, ill. built, ill-formed, ill-stowed —and so crank and overmasted that, in anything like a stiff hretze, she would be found unable to carry her royals. Well, she leaves Deptford, and drops down the river—she is found not to answer her helm—twice she runs aground and is backed off by main force, but, favoured by the weather and the tide, she at last, after a greater expense of time and labour than was ever before known, is an chored at the Nore ; and then her constructor turns round in triumph and asks, whether she has not disproved and refuted all the unfavourable prognostics which were made about her ?—as if passing Gravesend were doubling Cape Horn— as if floating one tide down the Thames were a voyage round the world." " Great Britain in 1833" is a smart vituperative notice of poor Baron d'Haussez's late production. We have no fault to find with this spirit of this article ; though not a little surprised and diverted at finding a puff on our old unreformed Con stitution as the " admiration and envy of the world" —we had hoped this Tory cant was de funct—thrust into the very heart of a passage discussing the comparative merits of French and English cookery ! Perhaps the thoughts of his own constitution, as influenced by the gastro nomical peculiarities of the two rival countries, led the reviewer, by a natural train of reasoning, to indulge in a sympathetic reminiscence of the constitution of the body politic. In this article occurs the following amusing anecdote : " We recollect being once present in a club dining-room, when a gentleman, who had lately been in the north of Europe, called before dinner for some dried fish, cheese, caviare, or other articles, which we generally eat at the close of dinner. ' Bless my soul !' exclaimed old Lord Alus kerry, who was sitting by, ' there is a gentleman eating bis dinnentoackwurd.' " " The Duchess of Berry in La Vendee" adopts rather a liberal view of the question, and treats the late Carlist crusade of the frantic, but generous and high-spirited Royalist with marked contempt and reprobation. The Judas who betrayed her is spoken of as such an unadul terated scoundrel deserves. Speaking of this wretch, :General Dermoncourt, a stanch revo lutionist, who arrested the Duchess, well ob served— "I should never pass him in the street without bestow ing a horsewhipping upon him, did I not think my horse would be degraded by being afterwards Hogged with the same whip." " Cunningham's Lives of the Painters" no tices an able, or, at any rate, an amusing work, in temperate, guarded terms of praise. The private, as well as the public character of Sir Thomas Lawrence, is well pourtrayed in this review. Despite what his biographer alleges to the contrary, we cannot but look on the late President as a male coquette. He had little heart but lots of sentiment, which, in the fashionable world, we believe, answers the purpose quite as well, if nof better. He had a smile, a soil whisper, and a squeeze of the hand, for every woman—affection for none ; not even for his first love, Miss Siddons, or the last object of his " Platonic flirt ation," Mrs. Wolfe. " Life and Parliamentary Works of Archdeacon Coxe," is chiefly remarkable for a singular revelation it makes of one of a celebrated statesman's (g r ' Pelham) most marked peculiarities. He v° addicted, it seems, " to the vice of blushing It ; Was any thing so uncourtierlike ever heard n i • We believe Mr. Pelham was the first (vie are quite sure he will be the last) statesman again st whom this heterodox accusation was ever brough t ' In the Review of " Madden on the Infirmities of Genius" the author says that the public ar e , Indebted to Mr. Croker's e diti on o f Bosw el for a detail of the circumstances relative to th e murder of one of Foote's (the celebrated (Ir' matist), uncles by his own brother. This is n° t the case. The whole history of the affair may be found at full length in a life of Foote, writte n many years before Mr. Croker was born. On t b , e , whole, the present number of the " Quarterly is of more than average excellence. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.
