E VI4NIN EDITION. The Rev. Mr. Coles—l should wish Mr. Frost to have every means of defence ; but we do not know that you ar e authorised, especially as Mr. Frost said he should defend himself. Mr. Geach—Yes, he said so then ; but I have since received a letter from him, authorising me. I have not the letter here, as I received it in Bristol. After some further observations, the examination re sumed—Mr. Frost desired us all to follow him to the Cefyn. When I got to the road leading to Abercairn, some of the people went towards Abercairn, and the others along the tram road. Mr. Frost said that Zo phanirth Williams would meet them at the Cefyn with 5 ,000 men. He said Jones, from Pont-y-pool, was to Tn'..?et them with about 2,000. I next saw Mr. Frost at .'ye Corner. On our way down we met a man near Risca, on a horse, with a lantern in his hand ; it was near M. Cross's house ; the man desired us to proceed on, for Mr. Frost was waiting for us with a body of men. Sonra of the men made remarks of what was the good of going there without arms, and a person re turned an answer that there were plenty of guns, bayonets, and ammunition there. We came up with Mr. Frost, and he ordered the guns to the front and the pikes on next. I ran up to him (Frost) and said, "In the name of God, what are you going to do—are you goin g to attack any pers on or pl ace ?" F rost sa id yes —they were going to attack Newport and take it. Frost said they would blow down the bridge to stop the Welsh mail from proceeding to Birmingham. He said there would be delegates awaiting the arrival of the mail at Birmingham. They would wait for an hour and a ha/.f after its time, and if the mail did not arrive for One hour and a half after its time, it would be a signal th a t an attack should take place at Birmingham, and fro m thence it would spread all through the North of F4ngland. On hearing this from Mr. Frost, I said to ) '''im, " You might as well lead us all to the slaughter house." 1 M:. Gcach here again interrupted. He felt it his duty to object to a course of evidence irrevelant and most unfair towards Mr. Frost. Examination resumed—l told him it was like leading a lot of lambs to the slaughter-house, and said " For God's sake desire the men to return to the hills." He asked me if I thought so, and turned away from me with a scornful look, as I thought. I tried to escape all the way down, and shortly afterwards I found an opportunity of doing so. Ido not know the prisoner. John Lewis—l keep the Tredegar Arms. I know the prisoner at the bar. I remember Sunday, the 3d of November. I saw him about eight o'clock on the next morning, the 4th inst. There was a rumour that day that the Chartists were coming dorm. The pri soner came into my house. I asked him what he thought of the Chartists, or what he thought of them now. I asked him because I understood him to be a Croartist. H e sa id i t was enoug h ! or every man to min 3 his own business. 'The prisoner here said he was quite innocent. The Rev. Mr. Coles then said the Magistrates were unanimously of opinion that he must stand committed to Monmouth Gaol, on the charge of high treason and sedition. The prisoner applied to have an interview with his wife, which was granted. The Court then adjourned. ZEPHANIAH WILLIAMS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. A man fully answering the description of Zephaniah Williams, one of the late Chartist leaders at Newport, and for whose apprehension a reward of 1001. and an additionalloo/., was offered making the reward 2001., was this morning taken out of the schooner, Vintage of Bristol, Captain 'Williams, bound to Oporto. Mr. Stockdale, the superintendent of police, having received private information that a suspicious character had taken his passage by this vessel, went on board about 4 A.M., tide time, and found him asleep in one of the berths. There was found upon his person 102 sovereigns, 15 Spanish Dollars, and 700 copper caps. He is now in strict confinement, and the Major has written to the authorities at Newport, to send a person over to iden tity hi m . Cardiff, Nov. 21, 1839. ONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS (THURSDAY EVENING.) POST.—The English funds were nearly stationary throughout the day. In the foreign funds Active Spanish Bonds, with the overdue coupons,lleft off at 2.58 to 68, Five per Cent. Portuguese 32 to +, Colombian 303- to 1, and Five per Cont. Dutch at 978 to B+. The Globe of this evening Mentions, under the head " Madrid, Nov. 12th," that the friends of Count Toreno " gave it out, as settled, that he (Toreno) is to be the new Prime Minister, which alarmed the capitalists so much that not a single Cash operation took place for several days." The Globe is understood to echo the sentiments of Lords Clarendon and Palmerston ; and if this he the case, It is to be presumed that Count Toreno's return to Madrid is not viewed with satisfaction by their Lordships. The unpopularity of Toreno, even at d a is so great, that the bare mention of the name of the man, as in any way connected with the nt o vernment, has caused the capitalists to close their th e ° l lht s . Toreno was the Minister who pared down e foreign debt to two-thirds of its nominal amount, is -n ; the English and French holders of Spanish Stock "ye suffered by him greatly. The home debt was Spared, hut still the individual is not trusted, even by those he has favoured. In the event of Toreno be coming once more a Minister of Spain, it will be c urious to see how Lord Clarendon and Lord Palmer ton enter into negotiations with him. A failure has taken place in the City ; it is not, however, one of any importance. A West India firm was talked of, but the party whose names have been mentioned to us are shipbrokers merely in connection with the West India trade. A ba n ki ng establishment at Liverpool is said to have I ,l°PPed payment, and other cases of embarrassment in at quarter seem to be expected. No particulars have, go viever, yet reached. us.

In commercial matters we cannot quote any material alteration this afternoon. The Tea Trade remains brisk. The transactions in the 111 °neY Markets have been of little importance to-day. The Hebrews are specu lating in Spanish Stock under the expectation that Cabrera will not hold. out much longer.

The highly-important — intelligence has been re ceived in London that the Shah of PERSIA has yielded aq the demands of the British Government, that ample reparation has been offered for the in sults offered to our Ambassador, and that every cause of quarrel being thus happily removed the diplomatic relations between England and Persia are about to be resumed in a spirit more amicable than before. The SHAH, in proof of his sincerity, has offered to conclude a commercial treaty with Great Britain on the terms previously proposed by the Government of this country. This is another of the results of Lord. AUCKLAND'S wise administra tion in the East— .another triumph over Russia in Central Asia. We have no re collection of a popular outbreak n which the people were more completely in the wrong than in the Newport insurrection. Not one excuse can be assigned for the outrage, and not one voice through thew hole length and breadth of the land has attempted to apologise for it. It was connected with no specific grievance —it was pro voked by no immediate injury, and was not intended to redress any gr eat wrong. In secret, bands of men armed themrielves, formed a military force, pressed others to join them in their march, just as seamen are pressed to serve in ships, and, without any warning or summons, made a murderous at- ack on the authorities of a town in their own coun- try. They began a civil war, the most heinous of all wars, without any adequate cause. Such is the case in outline as it now appears, and the autho rities which shall proceed calmly to punish the per petrators of this gross and scandalous outrage, ac cording to known and established laws, will have the sympathies and the support of the whole com munity. It will he a great pity if those who have the ma nagement of the in vestigation should lose sight of these special facts, wander into discursive inquiries, make unwarranted investigations, and so turn the sympathies of any portion of the community in fa vour of the accused and against themselves. To institute a searching investigation into the causes of the wide-spread discontent which exists amongst the bulk of the people, to trace the leaders from place to place to ascertain the topics on which they appealed to their auditors, and by which they in flamed the passions of the multitude, to probe to the bottom those grievances which continually threaten the peace of society, is the duty of the Legislature, or Commissioners authorized for this purpose ; the ordinary Magistrates should confine themselves to investigate definite charges and specified acts of . delinquency. They have power to commit or punish offenders, but no power to remedy abuses or redress wrongs. The opinions of the Chartists, as we know by the gigantic petition presented to the House of Commons, or at least strong and we be lieve well founded convictions of injury which gave rise to that petition, are common to the bulk of the people, while not one in twenty persons, and perhaps not one in a thousand approve of Mr. FROST'S plan of obtaining redres?. On this account we regret to see that the examina tions concerning the conduct of JOHN LLEWEL LIN chiefly turned on meetings held at his house, some of them as long ago as New Year's Day, and his language and conduct at them. The only thing in the evidence which we can see at all to criminate him, or connect him with the flagitious outrage on that a meeting was held at his h ouse , Newport, is, on the Tuesday before the riots, the prisoner was present, and the room was full. No connectien between the persons meeting at that time and the rioter s was established, nor do we see any more con nection between the earlier meetings 'held at LLE vrELLIN's house, though FROST was there nomina ted a member of the Convention, and the recent dis turbances, than between them and the meetings of the Convention at London, or the meetings at Newcastle or Carlisle. At these, and at several meetings of the Convention, violent and unseemly language was used, and the Reverend Mr. COLES, with the other Justices, might as well inquire into the language h into the language held in L LE e i l v d E L a L t ni t ' ll s e m house a last January. On account of th ose meet i ngs , and the language used at the Vote by B a ll o t, m, in advo ror cating Universal Suffrage a n d LLEWELLIN was committed t o take his trial for sedition. With the principles he expounded hun dreds and thousands of men will sympathi se , we cannot but consider it extremely injudicious slid in the Magistrates, by such a course of examina tion, to run the risk of enlisting sympathy on the side of the outrages committed by FROST and his followers. I At the present day, it should be observed, treason Such of the Tories as have not lost their senses have endeavoured to disLlaim the speeches of Messrs. BRADSHAW and Itoßy. Even the Times, the great teacher of violent language, has been in structed by the moderates of its party to denounce them. They accord, however, so well with the sentiments inculcated by the Tories, that they must be considered as party orations. Where men are at liberty and accustomed to speak out, no hesitation occurs ; the speeches are gratefully acknowledged, and the authors thanked. Possessed for many years of a complete as cendancy, and having no one to check the ex pression of their hearts, the Corporation of Dublin ave conferred a vote of thanks, and the freedom o. the City, on Mr. 1311,113mA w, " for his splendid advocacy of Protestant principles." His violence, and the ascendancy of the Anglican Church, are identified both at Dublin and Canterbury, and both the applauding Clergy and the applauding Corporation have signed their assent to Mr. BRAD SHAW'S abuse of her MAJESTY. We are not surprised at the Tory Journals 3eing anxious to throw off the imputation of lisloyalty, which is now deservedly applied to them, "or devotion to the Crown is the only civic virtue they could ever claim. With the bulk of the people they hare no sympathy and no connection. They claim to be their masters, with an avowed resolve to be their tyrants. Popular improvement is their abhorrence. Of liberty they are enemies. They maintain the Church, and insist on tyran nizing over conscience. They hate education for the people, whom their whole policy goes to impoverish and degrade. As a party they can boast of nothing but their devotion to the interests of the Court. Hence the Tory Journals, the blustering Times, the whining Standard, the simpering Post, the scolding Herald, have all been in a fret and a fume because Elie Li beral Journals continue to hold up the beastly disloyalty of Mr. BRADSHAW and his " half-drunken priests militant," and .Mr. ROBY and his " military accomplices," to public reproba tion. We have no pity for them, and must con tinue, however painful it may he to the whole party, to declare that the Tories are all implicated by the conduct of their friends. Messrs. BRADSHA W and R OBY may have committed treason against the Tories by blurting out what they all speak, " beneath their breath," amongst themselves ; but what they spoke over the fulness of their cups, is the creed of their party. But if any doubt could be entertained of their feelings and intentions, all is cleared up by their conduct to the QUEEN DOWAGER. They are parading her through the Tory territories as a rival of the QUEEN. They hold up Queen ADELAIDE as far superior to Queen VICTORIA, and add to their disloyalty the avowed desire to sow dissensions betwixt the QUEEN and her aunt. Not content with depreciating her MA JESTY, they exalt another, and arrogantly- insist on the QUEEN taking their lessons, and placing herself in tutelage to them. When they can use the Crown to their purposes they are loyal ; but the tyrants of the people can never be faithful to the SOVEREIGN. They are only intent on usurping her authority as a means of extending and securing their own beloved tyranny. We have inserted in another column a Letter on the imprisonment of JOHN THOHOGOOD, which is worthy of attention. We quite agree with our Correspondent as to the necessity of adopting energetic measures to get rid of such abo minable laws as that under which this victim of priestly; intolerance has suffered so long and so se verely. It is the duty of all who are attached to the principles of civil and religious liberty, whether they belong to the Church, or dissent from it, to exert themselves, in order to procure the abolition of laws which can be reconciled neither with jus tice, with humanity, :nor, of course, with the spirit of the Christian religion. But until this desirable change can be effected, and in order to effect it the more speedily, it is no less a duty to protect, as far as that can be done, the persons who, like THOROGOOD, prefer the tes timony of a good conscience to every .other consi deration, from being crushed by the persecuting malevolence of Ecclesiastical power. Let the Dissenters take heed to themselves ; their conduct is narrowly watched. They must support the cause of JOHN TIIOROGOOD, or their every of ow n cause will suffer for it. If th ey do not—if t h e y do not embrace the opportunity w hi c h i s now afforded them , of proving by deeds that they sym pathize with a sufferer for conscience sake, they mu st not, in future , talk about their zeal f or th e principles religious liberty. Th ey w ill b e to ld on convenient occasion, by th ose w h o owe them no good will, that to profess p r i nc i p l es an d not to practise them is the part of hypocrites. Nor must they imagine that poor TIIOR OGOOD will b e th e only object upon which the vengeance of the Church will be let loose if his case is not TILE suN, LONDON, PRIDA SOVEMBER 22, i 839. taken up as it ought to be. Acquiescence in one oppression naturally leads to another. Encroach ment follows encroachment as wave follows wave. The gaol of Chehnsford has closed, perhaps for ever, on one victim, and that of. Leicester, if it has not already received, is gaping'for another. Thus the indecision of the Dissenters, while it affords a triumph to the State Church, spurs her on to more copious outpourings of her intolerant spirit upon all who resist her iniquitous aggressions on the rights of conscience. .come of the Tory Journalists come to the rescue of their friends in a strange way. They launch out in coarse and and unmeasured invectives, denounce statements as base and abominable false_ hoods, yet in the most unfortunate way confirm the very accusations made against those they avow edly defend. The defence of the QUEEN DOWA GER, and the excuse set up for the Canterbury orgies, are cases in point. An Evening, asi well as a Morning Contemporary, are highly indignant that Queen ADELAIDE should have been charged with censuring the life led by our Most Gracious So'vereign, yet at the same mo ment, while. they, in a fit of passion, stigmatize the insinuations as a series of " downright untruths —mean, paltry, flagitious, and rancorous"—they admit that had the QUEEN DOWAGER said all that is imputed to her about " dissipated idleness, plays, balls, &c., she might have said no more than many parents would have been ready to sanction." Why thenlbe in such a rag e ? Th ose who out of charity doubted the accusation, have these doubts more than removed by the defence. The language which her defenders aver she might have used is ten times stronger and more particular than that imputed to her, and as they appear to know all that was said at Lisbon and Malta, the public, notwithstanding the disavowal, will pronounce that a truth which they denounce as a base falsehood. Call you that backing the QUEEN D O W AGE R ! the Cante r b ur y parsons and th e young T ory M em b ers may feel ingly— exclaim —the one party having but lately been described as drunkards and fools, and the other as gamblers and frequenters of Hells. The instructive account given by Dr. BOWRING at Manchester, of the nature and extent of the German League, and of the progress of manufac tures in Germany, will be found in another part of our paper. We also publish an account of the proceedings of the Manchester Chamber of Com merce after Dr. BOWRING'S address. It is most gratifying to find the inhabitants of Manchester adopting such liberal sentiments as to trade, though the process by which their convictions have been made intense has been one of considerable suffering. We have no wish whatever to encourage jea lousy of the Germans ; on the contrary, we believe that manufactures might flourish there and here together, to the advantage of both countries, were the Government of neither to misdirect, by foolish and wicked laws, the capital and industry of its subjects. We believe, too, that agricul ture might flourish in both more than at present were there no Corn-laws. We even suppose it might be quite practicable to unite in England, as in Germany, agricultural with manu facturing employment, were land not kept up to a high monopoly price by our unjust legislation. What happiness, in fact, is yet in store for the human race, cannot be conceived, and can never be realized till all the nations of the earth are per• witted freely and mutually to interchange the fruits of the separate advantages which nature has con ferred on each. On these considerations we shall not dwell, nor on the comparative advantages of Ger many. By free trade they might be made our own. The injurious influence of the Corn-laws over our cotton trade is so well described by the several speakers at the meeting that, referring to them, we shall take up another point of the question. We have frequently endeavoured to show that the Corn-laws are as injurious to the property of the farmers as to that of the manufacturers ; and we will now - add a few words to prove that they are detri mental to the independence of the farmers. All over the world the farmer is obliged to make great advances or becom e a debtor. He is engaged to pay heavy rates, taxes, and rent for his land, and he must cultivate it to get the means. He must pay his ploughmen, his waggoners, his la bourers, and all th e expenses of manuring and sowing his grcurid, for many months before he can gather in his harvest. These expenses being chiefly for labour, must be great in proportion as labour is high, and the money wages of labour will be augmented by the Corn-laws. The Corn-laws, therefore, increase the outgoings of the farmer for several months before he can obtain back his capi. tal. They increase the amount of rent he has to pay, and they increase all the expenses he is at in raising the produce to pay that rent. If the season be bad, the consumers of corn use substitutes as much as possible ; for the farmers' workmen appeals are made to him, and he never realises a price quite proportionate to his expense of production, and it f a ll s s h ort o f w h at h e s h ou ld obtain in proportion as his ex p ense o f cu l t i vat i on is great. If the season be good, because he has made these large advances, and must sell to carry on his cultivation, or because he is a debtor, the advan tages of the favourable season belong less to him than to the capitalist, who buys when the fanner is compelled to sell, and is the person to profit most by the abundant harvest. As the rule, the farmer having made large advances, and having no capital to command the market, is never the person to profit most by the variation of the seasons, and, not reaping that profit, whatever causes an increase of swarms of destitute refugees. the expense of cu:tivation adds to his neces sities, and places him more at the mercy of the monied capitalist. The Corn-laws, there fore, increase the natural dependence of the farmer. Facts corroborate this theory. The Corn-laws have now been in existence 24 years, and within that period every third year or so the farmer has been obliged to go, cap in hand, to his landlord, and supplicate an abatement of his rent. Co-existing with the Corn-laws has grown up and extended an extreme dependence of the working agriculturist on the land owner. He submitted, however, almost to be ruined before his independence gave way. In the Agri cultural Report of 1836, there are such passages as these. In the first report, Mr. BRICKWELL, who has been a farmer for 38 years in Bucks, stated that rents had been reduced 25 per cent., but the farmer still complained, and said there must be fur ther reduction.—(32o.) Tne reduction w as 15 per cent. from 1813 to 1822, and 25 per cent. since. There have been several changes amongst thef is exhaustedarmers,owin by paying the n owing todi s res s.— ( r 3 e 26 t s.) Their (355. capital ) Tenants h ave b ee n changed because they cou ld not they stand were er any obligednylon to la longer. T e he v. irecapitalbeing exhausted Steady, industrious men, and good farmers, were ruined. It took place chiefly since 1820.—(525-530.) s i nce 1833 t h ere had been o f s A t o g c a k in , , st a at N e l d r :t ß ha O t LFE, a farmer and appra i ser a contin ue d d epress i on , a loss of capital, and ru i n to the farmers. He knew farmers, hard_working, industrou s men, who were penniless ; Wu , the landlords to compel the payment of rents, they would have the land on their own hands. The tenants, to a great extent, hold their farms on sufferanc e only,t'and at the mercy of the landlords ; one-half o f t h e tenan t r y in his dist r i ct i s i nsolvent. The re n t h as b een reduced, how ever, something ike a fourth, but subsequent to the fall in the price I made in the estate of the latter ; and just in pro portion, therefore, as he expends money in making, improvements he becomes the slave of the pro prietor. Again, a Mr. LA NGHOME stated that the tenants of Lord TA NKERVILLE, in Northum berland, could not continue in their farms, for that, in a few years, they would be reduced to beggary. The rent at the same time had been reduced 20 per cent. Here, then, is decisive evidence that the work ing agriculturists have been reduced to a state of complete dependence on the landowners in conjunc tion with the existence of the Corn-laws. We have explained how that must be the case. They in crease the farmer's expense, but fail to give him a price for his corn increased in proportion. They seduce him by the promise of a high average price of corn which is never realised, while he can by no means evade the increase of expense they cause. The political aspect of this question now becomes important. It is a fact that the great advocate of the Corn-laws was the author of the 501. franchise for the tenants at will. But tenants at will under the Corn-laws are completely dependent on the land lord, and by introducing that clause the Marquis of CHANDOS knew he was proposing to confer so many votes on himself. Most of the landlords who take his view as to the Corn-laws, also agree with him in supporting the 501. clause. The two evils, then, go together, and the landlords support the Corn-laws that they may the more securely command their tenants' votes. Abolish the Corn-laws and the tenants will be it.dependent, and we might al most dispense with the Ballot. The Dul;e of ORLEANS has become a personage of the first importance in France. His bloodless exploits in Africa have succeeded in changing a clever young man, of respectable morals and retired habits, into a hero. But the French have a keen sense of the ridiculous, and if anything- can tend to render the Prince Royal ridiculous in the eyes of the French people, it is the publication by the Moniteur of such telegraphic despatches as the following, which are copied from that journal of Wednesday : MARSEILLES, Nov. 15.—The Duke of Orleans has just laid the first stone of the Chateau d'Eau, at Mar seilles, amid the plaudits of a considerable crowd. MARSEILLES, Nov. IG.—The Duke of Orleans has reviewed the troops to-day ;he afterwards visited the Prado, the principal barracks, and the hospital. As his Royal Highness passed through the old quar ters of the town, on his way to the hospital, he was greeted by the population in the most enthusiastic manner. MARSEILLES, Nov. 17, ONE P.3l.—The Duke of Orleans has just left us. The weather is beautiful. On leaving us he received the most marked proofs of the sympathy of the population, which bad assembled from an early hour to cheer him as he departed. The Carlist refugee, the Marquis of LABRADOR, who treated the memory of NAPOLEON with such contempt, in a letter addressed to one of the French journals a few weeks ago, has been ordered to quit Paris, with several others of his countrymen. Or ders were likewise issued by the French Govern ment to direct the Spanish refugees refusing to avai} themselves of the amnesty, to enter the Foreign Legion and embark for Africa. Those who chose to return to their own country were to have all pro per facilities alloWed them. This harsh measure is forced upon France by her inability to feed such ---- The Conznzerce, a Paris Journal, of Wednesday, states that letters had arrived in Paris from Barce lona, announcing that an engagement had taken place between CABRERA and ESPARTERO, in which the former was defeated with great slaughter. It was rumoured that CABRERA was killed in the battle, but our Gallic Contemporary yields no credit to this part of the report. The Paris cor respondent of the Times, in a postscript to his letter of Wednesday, dated 5 o'clock in the after noon, thus communicates the same highly im portant intelligence : " I have this moment had from a respectable quarter an assurance that the French Government received this day a despatch, stating that Cabrera has been defeated in Arragon. " This intelligence is further stated to have been de rived from soldiers, who affirmed that they had escaped the carnage made by the Queen's troops. " This despatch is said to have contained a confirma tion of the rumoured assassination of the Count d'Espagne by his escort." Letters from Martinique are to the 3d of October. Official information of the reduction of the duty on sugar had just been received : " We had another earthquake on the night of the 20th of last month. Many persons alarmed at the oc currence of this phenomenon passed the remainder of the night out of doors. The shocks were slight and did no damage. 'This state of things contributes to the ruin of our unhappy country, which is now in a very precarious situation. " The Evelina, the first ship that left Havre with the ordinance concerning sugar, arrived at Sante Pierre on the 3d day of October. The news brought by the Evelina has produced a great sensation in the colony. The ordinance has been read publicly, and was re ceived with enthusiasm by the planters."—Journal du Havre. A letter from Italy says " That Don Miguel has played Don Carlos a sad trick. The friends of those Princes had collected large sums, which they entrusted to Don Miguel, that he might make a landing in Por tugal, which would have created a diversion favourable to Don Carlos, but the latter having fallen before the other had made his preparations, Don Miguel has kept the money, and will nut agree to share it with the Carlists.—Le Commerce. of corn. ,WEBB HALL sa y s , ;;!alrn oil t he land . thaltnt i t l l e ie te s i 7 i o n n ts d i,a re v p e o i r l t o Mr. lords for any improvements the former may have BOURSE.--PARIS, WEDNEfIDAY, Nov. 20. ,- - - First Highest Lowest Last Price Price.

Accounts had reached the capital that the inhabi tants of Saragossa, Seville, Valencia, Grenada, Cordova, Malaga, and Cadiz, had resolved not to par the taxes if the Corks were dissolved. On the Stock Exchange prices were rather on tile d ec li ne on the 13th, although a good deal of business was i clone. The Five per Cents. opened at 3U for cash and closed at 30. RURAL POLICE.—A me e t ing of the Castle and East Wards of Northumberland was held in the Moot-hall on Friday last, to take into consideration the propriety of adopting the p rov i s i ons of the Rural Police Bill for those divistons . of th e county. After consider able discussion, it was agreed to appoint one superinten dent and ten constables for the Castle Ward, and one superintendent and twelve constables for the east ward, the superior officers to be mounted. Some conversation took place relative to a chief constable, but as only a portion . or the cou n t y i s to havp the benefit of the p o lice, it teas con.idered not necessary to have a chief constable at present. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. DOVER, Nov. 21, 1839. His Grace the Duke of Wellington has passed another good night, anti is again better to-day. He has decided on leaving Walmer Castle to morrow morning for Apsley House, and, it is said, hopes to be able to attend the Privy Council at Windsor Castle on Saturday. Lord Fitzroy Somerset, Sir Astley Cooper, and Dr. lime, will accompany his Grace to London. We are glad to learn that, according to accounts received at Apsley House this day, the Duke of Wellington is considerably better. He has not yet arrived in town. LLOYD'S SIIIPPING.-(THIS DAY.)

The following has been received at Lloyd's from the Trinity House : PROPOSED FLOATING LIGHT NEAR THE SHOAL CALLED THE KENTISH KNOCK. " The Elder Brethren of the Trinity House have deemed it right to bring this subject under the notice of the Merchants, Shipowners, and Masters of Vessels therein interested, and to state their readiness to cause a Floating Light to be placed in such situation, should it appear that the trade generally is desirous of its establishment, and willing to contribute such reasonable toll as shall be requi site for carrying this measure into effect. " It is considered that all vessels crossing the latitude of the said light -vessel on the Kentish Knock to the east ward thereof, on voyage to and from ports or places to the southward or westward of the North Foreland or of Cape Griney, and no others, should be liable to the toll referred to, save and except all vessels belonging to the United Kingdom and foreign privileged vessels when so navi gating wholly in ballast." MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCam. LIVERPOOL, COTTON-MARKET, NOV. 21.—We have experienced a filling off in the demand for Cotton to day. The sales are 4,000 bass, chiefly American de scriptions, at a decline of -A-d. per lb, ; 1,000 have been on speculation. The British Queen, from London to New York, was spoken the 9th instant, lat. 46, long. 46. Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend mails, and ship letters from 143guayra and Calcutta, of 224 June, old dates. A _ccounts have been received from Monte Video, to the latter end of September. Great alarm prevailed there, in consequence of the advance of the troops from Entrerios, more numerous than the forces of Rivera, the . present chief of Monte Video. It was reported that a division of 400 to .500 marines were to be landed from the French blockading squadron, to garrison the city ; soma private letters state that they had landed. A strong appeal had bee❑ published by the Government of Monte Vi deo, to the French residents, to arm and join in the defence of the city. It was stated that the plan of the commander of the Entrerians was not to storm the town, but blockade it. On the 2d September, General Lavalle's division, comprised of 1,000 men, sailed from the island of Mar tin Garcia in two divisions, one of which landed at the port of Landa, and the other at Don Basilio. afterwards both divisions united, and were marching upon Guatequay ; this would cause a diversion against the invasion of the Entrerian troops, whose rear they would threaten. There was a talk at Buenos Ayres of a fresh issue of paper money. The dates from thence are of the 12th September. The exchange was 31 to 34. We have received the Journal of Anlwcrp of yester day's date. Accounts from the Hague of the 19th November state, that the moment the Avondbode was going to press, they learnt that several mem bers of the two Chlmbers had made known their displeasure at the communication made from the de partment of the Colonies, respecting the loan of 56,000,000. ANTWERP, Nov. 20.—A report was spread on 'Change, that one of the most ancient banking-houses in Amsterdam had suspended payment. It is stated that intelligence of an important nature has been received from Persia ; that the Shah of Per sia had complied with all the demands of the British Government ; as yet, the above intelligence has had very little effect on the British Funds.

The prisOner pleaded intoxication, and she was fully committed to Newgate for trial. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. Thera have been moderate arrivals this week of both Corn and Flour.

DEAR SIII,--1 have hitherto abstained from address• inn to you any beyond mere formal communication; on subjects connected with your late office, from having been informed that it was considered essential to the safe progress of your recovery that you should be kept as perfectly tranquil as possible ; but I need no longer delay assuring you of the pleasure it gives me to state that I have received her Majesty's gracious sanction to offer you the honour of Knighthood, as a mark of the high sense the Que( n entertains of the peculiar merits of your individiv I exertions:in maintak n; her Majesty's authority, and presermg the lives and proper ties of her subjects, within the borough committed to your charge, upon the occasion of the late daring out• break. I have marked this letter " private," in case, from any personal or family circumstance, you might wish to decline this particular mark of her Majesty's favour ; but in the more probable event of our accept ing it as a record of your Sovereign's opinion of your admirable conduct, when an opportunity, fortunately so rare, occured of distinguishin g yourself, there can be no possible reason to prevent your at once mentioning the receipt of a communication which it has given me the most sincere grat:fication to make. Trusting that your convalescence is proceeding as your friends would wish, believe me, dear Sir, yours, very faithfully. NORMANBY. To Thomas Phillips,jun., Esq. Newport., Nov. 16, 1889.

I have the honour to be, my Lord, your obliged and obedient servant, T. PHILLIPS, JUN. DRUICY-LANE THEATRE.
