UR Friends, and all those who may have to write N., to us, are requested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in HAMBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus lilt., 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in iwo notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham bur 711, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive Aloney from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may 'rat , ler be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS.

We have just received most important news from Cadiz and Gibraltar. The rebel GOMEZ and his bands were dispersed by General NA RVAEZ, at the head of an inferior force, on the evening of the 25th ult. We predicted this termination of GOMEZ'S campaign, from the instant we learned that NA It- VAEZ had been appointed to succeed ALAIX as second in command under the General-in-Chief. The details of this brilliant affair will be read with interest. General NAttvAEz is a fine fellow, full of enthusiasm, and in the very flower of his age. He is just the man to oppose to GOMEZ, who is as full of stratagems and tricks of every kind as an old fox. We have not the slightest doubt of the speedy extermination of the whole of the Carlist'rebels in the South of Spain. The QUEEN'S troops want only fair play to be vic torious everywhere, and that will be no longer denied them, if further changes be not suddenly made in the command of the army. It is barely possible that GomEz may succeed in escaping with his life back to the Basques, but the plunder which he amassed, toge ther with his followers, , are already lost to him. The instant NA It VA EZ and RIB EIRO have settled with the rebels in the South they will proceed with their united forces to pay Don CARLOS a visit in the North. We already know what must be the result, and so by this time does the CITIZEN KING. His :West Christian MAJESTY, as Sovereign of the Tele graphic Despatch Office, will of course carefully con ceal, for a few days at least, all intelligence respecting the successes of the QUEEN'S troops ; but will this alter the opinion which Europe has formed of his conduct with respect to the Quadruple Treaty ? With all his cunning he will discover in the end that " honesty is the best policy." The following arc the despatches just received from Cadiz : " OFFICIAL NOTICE OF THE MILITARY COMMANDANT OF THE PROVINCE OF XERES. " Marshal del Campo the Conde de Mirasol having yes day affected a junction of the troops under his command with those of the division of General Narvaez, has just ar rived in this city, and has communicated to me the follow ing intelligence Yesterday, the 25th of November, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the division under the command of Narvaez encountered the faction under the command of the rebel Gomez, near Arcos. The rebels were to the number of three battalions of Aragon, five of Valencia, and four of Castile, with 900 cavalry. Brigadier General - Narvaez•attacked them without regarding their strength, and drove them from position to position as far as the Sierra of Aznar, whi c h position the enemy, already benighted, also lost. The only cavalry under Narvaez, which consisted but of 210 horse, did prodigies of valour ; and the panic-stricken enemy, dispersed on every side, re-assembled about half past twelve at night, to the number of 2,000, at Villa martin. Brigadier-General Narvaez, with a thousand horse, marched after them on the 26th at three o'clock, to consummate his work, and will proceed this night towards Montellano, followed by General Rivero, with 9,000 infantry. Those who are acquainted with the Sierra de Aznar will appreciate the great merit of the division of Narvaez, in having carried by night this position, which was defended by three battalions. The troops of Narvaez saw perfectly the convoy of their plunder, which consisted of an immense quantity of baggage ; but the troops of her Majesty the Queen had only to seek out the enemy and exterminate t h em . All which I make known to your Excellency. "PEDRO BASA-DONNA. gc Xeres, Nov. 26, 18 36, at midni g ht: , REPORT OF THE THIRD REGIDOR OF TIIE MUNICIPALITY OF ARCOS TO THE COMMANDANT -GENERAL OF Tux PROVINCE. The 3d regidor of the Ayuntamiento of Arcos in an official despatch of this date has communicated the fol lowing ;- 4. General Narvaez remained last night encamped in sight of the rebels a little more than a leagu e f rom this town, and to-day he ha s e ff e cted a junction with General Rivero, who at the same time was at the head of the po pulation. The battle of yesterday was a glorious one for the Liberal cause. The faction suffered much loss, without abandoning its usual tactics of endeavouring to avoid an action ; but this did not save them from suffering a heavy loss. At the present moment, according to the same ad vices, they are attacked by General Alaix in the neighbour hood of Villamartin. In order that the defeat of the faction of the rebel Gomez may be complete, it is necessary that the National Guard should be on the alert to scour the neighbouring country, and seize the dispersed rebels, who must still be numerous, since I am assured that the faction consisted of' 2,500 men, and that half of these at least have escaped from the destruction which on all sides pursues them. The tri umphant troops of the Queen arc now conveying great num hers of prisoners to this capital. (Signed) " Xeres, Nov. 26. To the Commandant -General of the Province." in:addition to the above, letters have been receive " MANUEL PINO. in the Mc ity, stating that GOEZ, after e sca pi ng from NARVAEZ, was attacked by ALA Ix, near Villa Mar tin, from whence he made a precipitate retreat with only 2,900 followers. The rest were scattered in every direction. The rebel Chief had lost his baggage, and the greater pant of his military stores. At eight o'clock on the morning of the 26th, RIBEIRo's division effected a junction with the force under NARVAEZ, SO that NARVAEZ had completely beaten the enemy before RIBEIRO arrived. He instantly selected a thousand horse, and pursued the enemy, while RIBEIRO followed with the infantry. _ The following letter from Gibraltar is copied from a Second Edition of the Times. We have great doubts of its authenticity : " GIBRALTAR, NOV. 25.—During the last four or five days we have been in a state of constant excitement by the appearance of General Gomez and his band in our im mediate vicinity, while the retreating Queen's troops from Ronda, Algeziras, and San Roque, came nearly under our guns. These were under the command of General Ordovez, Governor of Ronda, and in all about 1,000 or 1,200 men, but not more than 200 regular troops, whilst Gomez is stated to have had 14,000 of all sorts. On Saturday last it was known that the latter was draw ing nigh our neighbourhood by the people flocking towards Gibraltar, bag and baggage, and on Sunday morning masses wire assembled on the neutral ground, surrounded with trunks, beds, bedding, &c. None of these, however , w ere admitted within our walls, indeed it was a sad sight to see so many poor creatures, especially the women and children, in such misery ; but the benevolent feeling of the garrison has not been idle, and a large subscription, for the purpose of giving them soup and bread, has been made, and most seasonably administered to them. " On Monday we were in hourly expectation that the Carlists would make an attack upon the miserable Queen its ; but our Governor having sent Gomez a flag of truce, intimating that—if he came within our lines—he would be compelled to fire upon him, it is supposed prevented it ; for neither on that day, nor the following, did they show any disposition to do so. On Tuesday, about noon, the Carlists began to move off from our neighbourhood to Algeziras, to do which they have to pass two rivers de. bouchant in our bay, towards which our brig of war Jasseur, and a Portuguese corvette, Eliza, stood for the purpose of annoying their passage. They were too late to do so effectually ; but they peppered away at them for two hours, and it was thought had made great havoc ; but on in quiry we cannot learn that they did much damage, but they certainly prevented more passing by that route. During Wed nesday Gomez quitted our neighbourhood, and, as you will see, it was time, as General Ribeiro's division marched into San Roque on Wednesday night, and started again yesterday morning in his pursuit, but not before our Governor had time to ride out to San Roque and take a look at them, and they arc a very fair body of men, especially the cavalry (800), who were well appointed and well mounted, com manded by the same officers who gave them the thrashing at Villa Robledo. If the Queen's troops mean to fight at all, now is their time, and Gomez cannot escape. We shall see ; they are pressing him so hard now, that 50 or 60 pri soners were made of his rear-guard yesterday. " Our exchange upon London is 511. They have lately shipped off 30,000 Mexicans to Corfu ; they are not re lished here." We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the 25th Nov., from which we make the subjoined extracts : " From Los Barcos, Gomez last night pursued his march by the road leading to Alcala de los Gazulez. General Ribero had arrived at San Roque in the afternoon, and set out in pursuit of him this morning at 8 o'clock. His division is composed of between 7,000 and 7,500 foot, under the orders of General Pardo, and upwards of 800 horse under those of General Leon. At the moment of starting he received information that the Ximena militia had taken 400 men of Gomez's rear-guard. General Or doncz accompanies him. His own troops remain behind, though they have marched from the Spanish lines, together v.ith those under the Commandant General of the neigh- bouring district. " The Queen's authority has been re-established in Al gesiras and St. Roque. It is reported that five boxes, with spucie in them, supposed to have been shipped off by Gomez, have been seized in the waters of Algesiras by one of the Queen's armed vessels. A rebel officer, who was wounded the other day by the shot from the Jascw, is also stated to have died. _ " We hear , from Malaga, by the Calpc, that Brigadier Narvaez was by the last accounts in Algar—a town between Alcala de los Gazulez, Arcos, and Borgne, opposite the Cabra mountains, where he was waiting for the band, in case it should shape its march towards Puente Ojen. The same letters state General Alaix to have spent the night of the 221 in Monda, whence he proceeded to Ronda. " Gomez is leaving our neighbourhood. Ills troops arc seen from the rock, on the points which they occupied, in a westerly direction. The Cadiz Estafette has not arrived, but the Manchester has brought accounts from that city. Tho rebels being known to be in . the province, the Captain General declared the city in a state of war, and the division of Militia belonging to it had been stationed in the island of Leon. The country between Cadiz and Cordova must have been clear of rebels. _ _ _ ~ "Gomez on the 21st ult. entered St. Roque, but it being mail-day we had not time to alter the article. His num bers are variously stated at 8,000 to 9,000 foot, and from 1,000 to 2,000 horse. They are well clothed, well dis ciplined, and the leader alone levies contributions, the men being made punctually to pay for all they get. Their main body remains at St. Roque, and the Queen's troops in the Spanish lines. A few gun boats are lying at anchor in their wings. The latter have occasionally fired upon some small Carlist parties, which come down to the beach." The following intelligence from Lisbon—most im portant if correctly stated—appears in a second edi lion of a Tory Morning Contemporary : " LISBON, DEC. L—All minor topics are thrown into the shade by the important intelligence that the long ex pected Miguelite expedition has at last made its appearance. It consists of two steamers and a large sailing vessel, all of which were seen off Lagos, with the old Portuguese, or, as it is called the Miguelite, fla g c , flying, by the French brig of war Orestes, which arrived here this morning with the news. The Orestes chased them, but they soon contrived to get out of sight. As there are two Portuguese ships of war cruising off the coast, and as the chief measures of precaution have been taken in that quarter, I should not be at all surprised if their appearance there should prove to have been a mere feint, the really intended point of de barkation being somewhere in the North. The Govern ment, whatever they may pretend to the contrary, are greatly alarmed ; for they know very well that the troops, especially the cavalry, are not to be depended upon, and that the people are generally disgusted, and would gladly accept any Government that would release them from the miserable thraldom in which they are kept by the clubs and the National Guards. The force in Algarve does not amount to 2,000 men, and the whole of the army falls short of 10,000. " A decree was issued for a recruitment of 8,700 men. It is rather droll that they should think of raising more men when they cannot pay those they have got. The soldiers are all five months in arrears—the officers double that time. The navy have nearly given up all hopes of ever more me in.- the value of a penny piece. The Friars' titulos for their stipend are at a discount of 85 per cent. The Monte Pio, or pension tickets, are valueless in the market, and altogether there is about as Lmuch wretchedness and starva tion here as there ever was. The discontent created by all this is highly favourable to Don Miguel's views." The speech of his Excellency the Lieutenant-Go vernor of Upper Canada, on opening the Provincial Parliament on the 9th of November, will be found in another part of The Sun. Its language and tone— with the exception of one paragraph—is firm with out arrogance, and conciliatory without meanness. In the paragraph to -which we take exception, the Lieu tenant-Governor informs the Canadians that the Le gislature of Upper Canada " is not imbued with power to alter the Constitution imparted to it by the Impe rial Parliament ;" and he then goes on to repeat a de claration made by him on arriving in the province, to the effect that if the inhabitants of the whole province were simultaneously to petition him to alter a single letter of that solemn Act, he had "neither the power nor inclination so to do." Now, if the agitated state of the public mind be seriously taken into considera tion, and if th e f e elings of high excitement under which t hi s declaration must necessar ily b e rea d b e take n fully into account, it must be granted that such a declaration as the above is calculated to drive the already disaffected 'to a state of frenzy. The Pro vincial Parliam ent of Upper Canada is much more c ompetent to decid e upon the extent of its own powers t h a n is Sir FRANCI S B OND HEAD ; and as for the inclinations of the Lieutenant-Governor, apart from the authority appertaining to his office, the people of Canada sought not to be ma d e acquainted with them. We have frequently ex p r essed our admiration of the HEAD conducted way in which Sir FR ANCIS B OND the affairs of Canada ; if we have a prejudi ce, it i s i n his favour ;- but we cannot pass over in silence such a very unwise and uncalled - for declaration, on the part of the representative of our Gr acious SOVEREIGN, in an address to the representatives of his people. The Canadians are a people not to be intimidated. Th _..ey know, as well as we do, that the moral power of their Legislature is only bounded by the physical strength of the people who voluntarily acknowledged.it, as the organ k i \ t t. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1836. of their opinions and sentiments. We must also bear in mind that the Canadians, like the people of the United States, have British blood in their veins, and will not therefore be bullied into an obedience to any form of Government . of which they do not themselves approve. We are honestly opposed to the separation of the Canadas from the mother country, and therefore it is that we condemn whatever has the appearance of a menace, if addressed to the Canadians. It is too late to talk about " firmness," assuming a " lofty tone," carrying matters " with a high hand," and all the other jargon employed by the Tory journals. It has come to this : We must either reform the abuses in the Government of the Canadas, agreeably with the recommendations of the Houses of Assembly, or we must give them up altogether, despite of ourselves. A petition signed by every inhabitant in either of the Provinces must have more weight with us than fifty Acts smuggled through the Imperial Parliament at the beck of a Minister of the Crown, if we would retain the Canadas as de pendencies on the Crown of England. It is with this view, and in this spirit, that we have always sought to impress upon the Government the absolute necessity of reforming the Legislative and Executive Councils. If this be not done in time, the Canadas will follow the example shown them by the United States. We copy the following paragraph from the Morn ing Advertiser of this day. Our Contemporary, 1 will be seen, talks of a split having taken place be ,ween Lord LYNDHURST and Sir ROBERT PEEL How this may be we know not, but, considering the relative position of the two parties, we think it very likely to have happened. What more natural than that a whole-hogger and a half-hogger should fall to logger-heads ? The Baron is all for' no surrender ;" the Baronet for a plausible compromise. The Baron has turned his back for ever on the woolsack ; the Baronet has still a discreet eye to the Treasury Bench. The Baron has nothing to lose ; the Baronet much to gain. The Baron is a Tory and "something more ;" the Baronet is a Whig and "something less." The Baron will swear roundly that black is white ; the Ba- ronet will only say that, to the best of his belief, it is a dark brown. The Baron is reckless ; the Barone discreet. What wonder, then, that where such dif- ferences exist between two such amiable statesmen,. an open rupture should be the consequence ? Lord LYNDHURST, we have reason to believe, has been long angling for Sir ROBERT PEEL ; but finding that the wary fish will not take the bait, he has gone off in a huff, swearing that the prey is not worth catching. However, be this as it may, it is but just and proper that we congratulate the Reformers on this rumoured split between the two leaders of the moderate and im moderate Tories. When the political Peachurn and Lockit quarrel, the consistent and straight-forward class of the political community may expect valuable revelations : " We cannot help feeling that our contemporaries of the daily press attach an undue consequence to the political and personal movements of Lord Lyndhurst. The acci dental importance which the events of the last Session served to give the Learned Lord, were mainly attributable to the miserable deficiencies of the great body of the Peer age. Perhaps in no other assembly of equal numbers, could the limited abilities and superficial acquirements of a character something more than equivocal, have raised their possessor from the congenial obscurity of so many other extinguished luminaries of the law. Since, however, the yes dune et regni novitas require that the proceedings of this very slippery personage should be watched with an at tention which more worthy objects claim in vain, we have taken some pains to ascertain the correctness of certain statements which have been lately canvassed with consi derable acrimony. The daily advocates of the Tories have for some time been instructed to proclaim, usqzte ad nau seam, the unbroken harmony of purpose which distin guishes the leaders of their party, and which forms so advantageous a contrast with the discord which they as serted to prevail in the ranks of their adversaries. The falsehood of the latter part of this assertion, of which we had direct personal knowledge, naturally led us to doubt the correctness of the rest of the statement ; and the result of our inquiries has convinced us that the boasted unanimity of the Conservatives is as purely imaginary as the dissensions which they so obligingly manufacture for their antagonists. A short recapitulation will at once serve to show the chosen depositaries of Conservative confidence, that we have oc casional access to sources of intelligence in their own camp, not always open even to them ; and that we shall require something more than the brazen effrontery of what they call an official contradiction to satisfy us that we have been misinformed. We begin, then, by re-asserting, that there has been a serious misunderstanding between Sir Robert Peel and Lord Lyndhurst—that the difference is of some duration—that it took its origin in Paris—that it still exists —and that, according to present appearances, there is little probability of a reconciliation. We believe we state the exact fact when we say, that the cautious and temporis ing policy of the Commoner was the reason assigned by the Lord for an abrupt and unceremonious termination of an interview held in the French capital, not accidental, as was at the time stated by the Tory press, but the consequence of a fixed previous arrangement. W e believe, moreover, that to overtures for reconciliation an unfavour able answer has been returned, and that so far is it from the intention of the Learned Lord to join the great Tory re-union at Drayton, that his return from the continent is indefinitely postponed, and he has dismissed a considerable proportion of his English establishment, and has ordered his house in town to be let. We shall be told perhaps that some of these circumstances are of no importance, and others incorrectly stated. To this we reply, that the Tories attach importance to every thing connected with their immaculate champion, and for the substantial accu racy of our facts we rely implicitly on our sources of in formation. To conclude, we have every reason to believe that Lord Lyndhurst, though anxiously desired, will not, for reasons which we need not state, make his appearance in this country during the next Session of Parliament. Lord Brougham will have, reluctantly, to walk over the course." The Tory journals have carefully availed themselves of all opportunities of deprecating the ruinous system of loan-contracting to which MENDIZABEL has had recourse since his acceptance of the Portefeuille of Spanish finances. They have taxed their arithmetical knowledge to discover how many times he has ruined the kingdom ; and the product of the interesting in quiry has been rung in the ears of the monied interest six days in the week for months together. As for Don CARLos' loan system, there was not one word about it. He had money in abundance, without sad dling his people with debts. Like Elijah fed by the ravens, Providence supplied him with all that he wanted except muskets, and these his followers took the liberty of borrowing from the Christinos. Such was the impression which the Post and Herald sought to make upon the public mind. We shall leave its cor rectness to be infered from an extract which we shall here make, from a letter addressed by Baron de HABER to our Contemporary, the Chronicle, the pur port of which letter is to show that the Baron was . not epsetaroefd Mr. HAWKlNs—the par in The Su n o f y es t e rday. aticccuelsasrosryortowhtihche arrest After alluding to the destitute condition of Don CARLOS when he arrived in this country, and the as sistance rendered to him by the Baron himself, the Noble writer continues thus : " I regret to be obliged to allude to these proofs of the attachment and zeal which I have ever entertained for the august family of his Catholic Majesty. Farther, having advanced a large sum against a contract of a public loan, I had, in justice to myself and to the public, a duty to per form, viz., to see that those intereste d in the above-men tioned loan should always be protected. " 1 frankly, at the time, represented to the Minister of his Catholic Majesty, the fears I entertained of the non-success of the projected loan ; unfortunately my fears were too soon verified, and the excellent King now suffers most cruelly through the delusive promises made by those who had pro jected this financial operation. His Majesty, since the month of March last, out of a nominal loan of seventeen millions and a half pounds sterling, has not received more than 50,0001. ; which is, upon the total sum, not more than one-third per cent., or Gs. Bd. in every 1001. Had it not been for this fatal circumstance his Majesty and followers would, long ago, have been relieved from their many severe privations and hardships. lam prevented at present pub lishing the details and delusions practised upon that vir tuous and courageous Monarch, and on that venerable and excellent prelate the Bishop of Leon." What will the Tories say to this system of borrow- ing. A loan of seventeen millions and a half realize only 50,000/. ! Verily the DON is a prodigy of economy. A Conservative Association has, we perceive, been endeavouring to rear its head in Reading. The thing will never go down there, so the sooner its projectors give it up the better. The political opinions held by Mr. Sergeant TALPOURD faithfully represent those held by the enlightened and respectable majority of the borough. True, a few desperate, square toed, old Tories may still be found in Reading; but they are in a miserable minority there, and look just like so many fossil remains of an extinct species. Among the most respectable of the squad is Mr. SIMMONS the banker ; but even he, deservedly esteemed as he is, will be able to do nothing with the Conservative Association. A dozen superannnated Ultras, with powdered hair and pig -tails, big gold chain and seals dangling half way down to their knees, and immense buckles on their shoes, will be the very utmost number that he will be able to bring together. Perhaps an adver tisement in a county paper may swell the dozen to a score ; but even this we doubt ; for such animal curio sities arc becoming uncommon scarce in Berkshire. For instance, an old Tory was detected the other day tottering along Friar-street ; and the people stared after him just as if he had been a Chimpanzee I They had heard and read of such phenomena, but this was the first perfect specimen of the breed they had seen since the year of grace 1832. Does Mr. SIMMONS then imagine that he will be able to fill a whole show-room with these curiositi2s ? Impossible I As well might the first Commissioner of the Woods and Forests hope to people the Regent's Park with giraffes We beg to draw the attention of our readers to an excellent letter, signed " A Churchman," in another column. The public expectation was miserably disa pointed in the small modicum of Church Reform which last Session produced ; but what was to be ex pected from measures founded on a Report of Tory Commissioners, which Report was itself founded on materials, collected without any wish for accuracy on the part of the collectors, or any responsibility on the part of those who furnished them. It is, however, some consolation that only a part of the plot laid by the PEEL Administration,for juggling the country out of Church Reform, was carried into effect. Thanks to Mr. HumE, and some other staunch friends of the people, the trick was discovered in time to arrest the progress of two out of the three Bills which it was in tended to pass last Session. Before anv other mea sures professing the same object are introduced into the House of Commons, or at least before'thcy are allowed to pass, we are quite sure that Hon. Members will sa tisfy themselves- that the evidence on which they are . grounded is such as to justify them in sanctioning le gislative proceedings. Let the wealth of the Church be thoroughly investigated—not from answers given at random by parties 'interested in concealing the truth, but in the way and on the principles which are adopted in all other investigations which precede legislation. Until this is done we hold it to be the bounden duty of the honest representatives of the people to oppose every measure which pretends to re-model the finan cial department of the Church. , Lord Claude Hamilton has left Argyll House to join the circle assembled at the seat of his brother, the Marquis of Abercorn, Baron's Court, Tyrone, where a grand entertainment to the nobility and gentry of the county is expected to take place on the 15th inst.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—On Tuesday evening an inquest was held at the Committee-room, St. Katharine's, on the body of a female, name unknown, found opposite Iron Wharf. The body when found, presented the ap pearance of a fine young woman, about 18 years of age, five feet five inches in height ; her hair is dark, end she was dressed in a dark merino gown, with but one shoe and one stocking on. She had no bonnet or cap on her head, but a striped handkerchief was fastened round• her neck. There was no ring on her finger, and nothing on her person by which her identity could be discovered. From the state of the body, there was no doubt it had been many days in the water.' No trace whatever had been discovered of the friends of the deceased. The Jury returned a verdict of " Found Drowned ;" at the same time expressing their anxiety that the description of the deceased should be made public, as the only means of clearing up the mystery in which the death of the deceased was involved. The following is a further list of vessels condemned by the Mixed British and Spanish Court of Justice, esta blished at Sierra Leone, under the treaty with Spain of the 28th of June, 1835 :--Schooner Golendrina, Aug. 10, 1836 ; brig Luisa, Aug. 10, 1836 ; brig Tridente, Aug. 23, 1836 ; brig El Cazador, Aug. 23, 1836 ; schooner Mosca, Sept. 7, 1836 ; schooner Feliz Vascongada, Sept. 7, 1836 ; brigan tine Diligencia, Sept. 7, 1836 ; schooner Eliza, Sept. 26, 1836 ; brig Maria Mamula, Sept. 20, 1836. None of these vessels had slaves on board. The following truly affecting case of family bereave ment has just bee❑ related to us. About six weeks ago a tradesman, residing in Charlotte-street, died of an inward complaint, leaving a widow and four children. Two weeks ago the eldest of the children, a girl six years old, was seized with the measles and died ; on Wednesday evening last another of the children, a twin, also died of measles ; on Thursday the other twin died ; and on Saturday the second eldest daughter likewise died of the same disease ; thus leaving, in a few short weeks, the female head of the house a widow and childless. Three of the children were interred yesterday.—Glasgow Paper. Notwithstanding the unusual severity of the weather for some weeks past, a pair of throstles have recently built a nest on the estate of R. H. Greg, Esq., of Quarry Bank, near Wilmslow, and the female is now sitting on two eggs. —Manchester Guardian. LAW AND EQUITY.—.•" Pray, my Lord," said a gentleman to a late respected and rather whimsical Judge, " What is the distinction between Law and Equity Courts ?" —" Very little in the end," replied his Lordship ; " they only differ so far as time is concerned. At common law you are done for at once ; in equity you are not so easily dis posed of. The former is a bullet, which is instantaneously and most charitably effective ; the latter is an angler's hook, which plays with its victim before it kills • it. The one is prussic acid, and the other laudanum." PROPORTION OF CRIME TO POPULATION.—AC cording to Colonel Forsell, who has recently published a valuable work on the Statistics of Sweden, the offenders against the laws in different countries bear the following proportions to the entire population : In England as one to Wales ....... Ireland .......... Scotland ........ Denmark 1,700 Sweden New South Wales The United states 3,500 During the late storm a large walnut-tree, at West Dean, Hants, was levelled with the ground. By immense exertions, however, during the following three days, it was drawn up again, and now stands as erect as heretofore. A few days ago a young girl, the daughter of one, of the overseers at the hospital des Invalides, having deter mined upon destroying herself by means of ? the fumes of charcoal, conceived that she had got rid of every body and every thing that could oppose her project. She accord ingly lighted the charcoal, and had already become insen sible, when a singular and unlooked-for agent appeared to frustrate her purpose--it was her cat, which, either alarmed at the state of her mistress, or not liking the fumes of the carbonic gas, jumped through the window, and by her cries and strange boundings about, excited the attention of .the neighbours, who, suspecting from puss's vagaries that all was not right, burst open the door in time to save the young woman's life.—French Paper. Two thousand five hundred soldiers are sufficient to preserve peace in Scotland. In Ireland there are more than " thirty thousand armed men." 'The Ohio Observer mentions that Mr. J ames Orval was in the woods" a-gunning," and while loading his own rifle he heard the crack of another at s«,me distance ; and coeval with the crack he got a whack on the ear, which laid him down horizontal." Upon recovering himself he found that a neat round hole had been bored through the gristle of his right ear by a small rifle ball ; and there being nothing else the matter, he shouldered his piece and began to progress homeward ; but seeing the operator at a dis tance he walked up and " thanked him pretty stiff."

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, - 7'll' EL . V E O'CLOCK. A French Mail is due ; likewise the Ostend, Dutch and Hamburg Mails. Our arrivals since yesterday are one French Mail, and one Ostend ; and ship letters from Lisbon, Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Oporto ; Quebec, Honduras, Bahia and Maranham. Advices are likewise received from Calcutta of the 2d July, and from the Cape of Good Hope of the 13th October. _ . The Jamaica Papers to the 30th October state that a uniform system of labour was to be introduced into the colony, which it was hoped would tend to increase the good feeling between the masters and their apprentices. A scar city of provisions in the colony is complained of. By the accounts from the Cape of Good Hope, to the 13th October, it appears that the Coffers were again be coming troublesome on the frontier—much excitement prevailed amongst the native tribes. Beyond the northern frontier, several farmers and others, who were out hunting, were attacked by the savages, who killed three or four men, three women, and some children, carrying off 1,000 head of cattle, a number of sheep, oxen, &c. A military 'order had been issued to prevent the marauders entering the Colony, several of whom had come in without orders. Letters have been received from Lisbon of the 2d inst., but they do not bring any news of importance ; all was tranquil there. THE FUNDS. Consols opened this morning at 88-1 for the opening.

The Foreign Market is rather brisk, particularly Spa nish Active, owing to the accounts from Lisbon a nd Cadiz, of the 26th, with the information of the defeat of Gomcz by the Queen's troops, a few leagues from Xeres. Great alarm prevailed at Xeres on the 24th, fearing that Gomez would have entered the town. Several hundred:prisoners, the letters say, have been taken by the Queen's troops.

Earl Spencer left Spencer House, St. James's street, yesterday for Althorp Park, where Lord and Lady Lyttleton, from Hagley Park, Worcestershire, and the Hon. Captain and Mrs. Frederick Spencer, are expected on a visit to his Lordship. Six of the whalers sent from the different Northern ports in the spring to Davis' Straits, are still missing, and the probability is, that they are beset in the ice--Halifax Express. A Tory Association has been formed at Reading, stimulated thereto by their unexpected success at the last municipal elections. The first meeting was held on Tues day, Mr. H. Simmons, formerly Mayor of the borough, in the chair. The other parties who seem (for—Tory fashion —the whole thing was kept snug) to have taken part in the proceedings were Captain Gilbert and Dr. Ring. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, DEC. 7.—The cotton-market has appeared rather tame than otherwise to day ; in prices there is no alteration. 3,000 bales are esti mated to have been sold—viz., 700 Cearas and Pernams, 10Id. to 12id. ; 200 Bahias, 9d. to 100. ; 300 Maran hams, 101 d. to 13d. ; 350 La Guayras, 90. to loid. ; 100 Manillas, 10d. ; 100 Surats, 40. to 70. ; the remainder American, lid. to 114 d. On Tuesday, about 12 o'clock, there was a dis astrous inundation at the Old Wharf, Birmingham; no lives were lost, but great injury to and loss of property have been suffered. Yesterday morning the ship Mary Possey, a large vessel (which. about a fortnight since quitted the London Docks, with a number of emigrants, for New York), was towed up the river into the London Docks, having sustained such severe damage by the late gales as to render her almost a wreck, and her masts and rigging were obliged to be cut away, and thrown overboard ; but, by the skilful manage ment of the Captain , he succeeded in saving the lives of his crew anti passengers, who are in a most exhausted state. The vessel became so leaky, and made so much water in her hold, that she was hourly expected to founder. The passengers have all landed, and appear highly gratified at being once more safe on shore. An alarming accident occurred yesterday morning to Elizabeth Beecham, a young woman in the service of Mrs. Box, a lady residing in the Alpha Cottages , Dorset square. The footboy, a lad, on Sunday night last, loaded a pistol with small shot, for the purpose of amusinc , himself, by shooting a t a num b e r of cats that infested the garden. Yesterday morning he brought the pistol into the kitchen to withdraw the charge, when he accidentally struck the trigger with his hand. The muzzle pointed towards the unfortunate young woman, and the contents entered her back and neck. Mr. Dowell, a surgeon, was immediately sent for, who succeeded in extracting a number of shots, and hopes are entertained for her recovery. Our correspondent at Keswick, of yesterday's date, tells us that the weather among the mountains is excessively cold, and that the lakes and rivers, owing to the recent heavy rains, are considerably swollen beyond their usual limits. We also learn from the same source, that on an elevated piece of ground, situated between the mountains Skiddaw and Latrigg, at the distance of about two miles from Keswick, there is at this time—the sth of December— several hundred stooks of corn standing !—Cumberland Packet of Tuesday. _ _ _ The Reformers of the parish of St. Pancras are be stirring themselves in the matter of the 1001. verdict a gainst Mr. Douglas, arising out of a paragraph connected with Church-rates. A meeting is to be held to consider the the steps to be taken to protect the Reformers of the parish on this account. A gentleman residing, near Taunton says, that, standing at his house door, he saw fifteen fine apple -trees yielding in rapid succession to the force of the late gale, like a pack of cards bent by children in their sport.—Taunton Courier. CHANCERY LOCKE V. COLEMAN. The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with this case, which was a motion for a new trial ; the Jury having found, upon an issue directed by this Court, that Susannah Locke was the customary heir of Robert Mark, according to the custom of the manor of Taunton Dean. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY•) REYNOLDS V. CONCANNON. This was an application upon motion to dissolve an in junction granted by his Honour in June last, restraining the defendant, who is the Secretary of the Royal Mining As sociation at Truro, from cutting off the supply of water to the Wheal Friendship Mine, until after the trial of an ac tion, or till the defendant should fully answer the bill. From the statements in the bill and the affidavits in EUppOrt of the applicant for the injunction, it appeared that the defendant and the plaintiff had both of them tin mines on the same stream, and that some disagreement s taking place between them, shortly before the application ' for the injunction, the defendant, accompanied by a large 'body of persons, proceeded to the works of the plaintiff and cut down the ancient dam of the stream, whereby the works of the plaintiff were completely stopped ; Concannon en couraged the men to this work of destruction by a promis e of 2/. to spend in drink, desiring them to bury alive all that stopped them, saying he had come from London on purpose to make a riot and shed blood, and that he would do so before he returned ; adding that he would send lead through the first man that opposed him. By their answer the de fendants denied that they had diverted the ancient water course of the river by what they had done, but that the course pursued by the plaintiff had effected it. The case had not concluded when we left. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) This being the second seal after Michaelmas Term, the Court took motions. SANDERS V. HOWELL. In this case, on the motion of Mr. PEmainToN, which was opposed by Mr. KINDERSLEY and Mr. GiaDLssToNx , a receiver was appointed of the rents of certain freehold messuages at Chepstow, in Monmouthshire. • V. FARR. In this case an attachment had been issued against Nir. Farr for want of his wife's answer. He had put in his an' swer, and Mr. GIRDLESTONE now moved that the a ttach" ment might be discharged, and that the wife ought to be ordered to put in her answer separately.—Order made. LTD' V. HALL Mr. PEMBERTON moved that the orders made in this cause on the 16th of May and the 19th of December, 18 35, might be discharged. The bill was filed by the plaintiffs, who were the assignees of an annuity of 3001. a year, pay able to the defendant, Mrs. Hale, to which she was entitlei out of a pension fund, called " the Civil Fund of Bombay'. Her husband having been an officer of that establishmen t, on his death she became entitled to the annuity. Mrs; Hale mortgaged or sold to the plaintiffs, Messrs. Lyde an", Foam, a sum of 2001., part of the annuity. The fu n ' was received by remittance tol the house of Colville, Crawford, and Co., and they had been in the habit of payi . ng the annuity as received from time to time. Mrs. Hale being abroad, and acontinuance of payment to Messrs. Lyde and Co. being refused, the plaintiffs filed the bill. against Colville and Co. and Mrs. Hale, when she should come within the juris diction, to have the arrears of the annuity ascertained , and paid out of the monies in the hands of Colville and Co. The cause came on for hearing before Lord Cot tenham when Master of the Rolls. Messrs. Colville and Co. appeared, and submitted whether the annuity was in its nature assignable ; but they principally insisted th at the Court could make no order with regard to the fund , Mrs. Hale being out of the jurisdiction. Lord Cotten ham came to the opinion, that in the absence of Mrs. Hale, he could make no decision, and the cause was or dered to stand over. The plaintiffs obtained an order that service on the clerk in Court of Mrs. Hale, might be deemed a good service, and were preparing to take the bill, pro confesso. The order of the 16th May stated that the cause was to stand over for the purpose of adding parties , which Mr. Pemberton said was clearly wrong, because there were no parties to add. Then an order had been °lr . tamed on the 12th of November, 18 3 5 , ordering the bill to be dismissed, unless Mrs. Hale was made a party en or before the second day of Michaelmas Term. The Learned Counsel therefore considered that what he asked must, as a matter of course, be granted. Mr. TINNEY and Mr. Nom." for the defendants, Messrs. Colville and Co., submitted that it would be neces sary to have a re-hearing of the cause before the order could be discharged. They further contended that the suit was defective for want of parties, and that Lord Cotten ham had considered the trustees of the Fund ought to have been brought before the Court, Messrs. Colville and Co. had no interest in the matter, and were merely desirous of having the Bill dismissed, that they might not be subjected to any further costs. Mr. PEMBERTON replied. Lord LANGDALE considered that if he refused the pre' sent application, he should be doing great injustice to the plaintiffs, who appeared to have an equitable claim. The re had been some mistake in the drawing up of the first order ; and under these circumstances, the best way would be t° discharge the order of November, 1835, and to vary the order o f May by striking out of it all the words except that the cause was to stand over. The plaintiffs, ho c ' ever, were to pay the costs of the present application. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prim, before Lord DENMAN, and a Common Jury.) MAYNELL V. NOSS. Sir F. PoLimo( stated the case. It was an aet o brou g ht by Edward Francis Maynell, a gentleman of f°r tune residing at Newmarket, to recover a balance of 6° ''' being part of the purchase-money of a chesnut ge ldiag' The defendant bargained to give 120 guineas for the hol e / and paid down 501., but afterwards refused to pay the d; ference, alleging that he was not aware of his being a ge l l ing at the time of making the purchase. The Leara c ji Counsel observed that the action was brought, not so ma', with a view of recovering damages against the defend 9ll4 as of vindicating the character of the plaintiff from the in putation of having given a false representation of the anial a at the time of sale.
