Super royal Bvo., with Twenty heautirully finished Engravings, from Pictures, By T. Creswick, Esq., and D. APClise, Esq., A.R. A. London : Longman, Rees, Orme, and Co. HAMBURG, SEPT. 28, 1836. OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write to 113, are requested to be particular iu directing, HEM!: BROTHERS, in HAMBURG, and to observe, that a letter with one inelosure doubles the Postage only, Lot several inelosures would by far increase the same. Thus 11)1.. 201., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 101. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Peron having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note ; or having to receive Alone , : 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 rather bemade in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not to overlook these particulars. HEI NE BROTHERS.

We are indebted to our enterprising Contemporary, the Morning Advertiser, for a report which appears in his columns of to-day, exclusively, of a grand public dinner which was given on Wednesday last to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER by the Reformers of Limerick. At this splendid entertainment which comprised nearly all the intelligence and respectability of the neighbourhood, " the attendance," says our Co temporary, " was larger than at any other public din ner that has ever occurred in Limerick." What will Lord LYNDIIURST and his aristocratic Tail say to this ? What will the Conservatives generally throughout the country say to it—that egregious fraternity, who for the last two months and upwards, have been al most daily asserting at their feeds—'till, by con stant repetition they have actually come to believe the falsehood—that Ireland was indifferent to Municipal Reform, and that the Conservative cause was hourly making progress there ? The Limerick dinner will, we suspect, come on these purblind twad dlers like a thunder-clap. What, his MAJESTY'S Chancellor of the Exchequer received with enthusiasm in the second city in Ireland, at the very moment when they were so loudly trumpeting his unpopularity there ! Even so, gentlemen; and not only was he himself re ceived with enthusiasm, but every sentiment that fell from his lips met with equal approbation—especially that portion of his speech wherein he declared the in tention of Ministers to hold fast by the appropriation clause ; and not only this, but to urge it boldly for ward in the most comprehensive spirit of Reform. " Were they to be told," said the Right Hon. Gentle man, " that education was adverse to Protestantism, for it was to that purpose that any surplus was pro posed to be appropriated ? That was the doctrine of the present Government, and to it they were deter mined to adhere ; that was the principle on which the Ministry was founded, and under one modification or another, he trusted he should live to see it carried into effect ; but there could be no doubt of its success. They were told that the Upper House of Legislature would prevent it. Now, he would speak with every respect of a co-ordinate, though he doubt e d it s b e i ng a co equal, branch of the Legislature ; he would speak with respect of the power given to that House by t h e Con stitution ; but if experience derived from the past was true, it proved that if the cause was right and just, and was supported by the House of Commons, sooner or later it must be triumphant." We are grateful for the admission here volunteered by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, that of the two Houses of Par liament, the Lower is that which the Constitution has invested with the higher Legislative authority. It is an admission urged at a most seasonable period, and in the true spirit of Refor m ; an d w ill go f ar to dispel that absurd prejudice, the growth of years of bondage, which still exists in the minds of many otherwise in telligent men, in favour of the permanent powers of the House of Lords. It is, moreover, a sort of official hypothesis, the inevitable deduction from which is, th at Peerage Reform must be granted ; for if, as Mr. S pit lNG RICE justly intimates, the Lords, though co -ordinate," are not " co-equal" with the Com - on what principle of justice or common - ^ c oact: , 's it, that the latter should be compelled t. to give way to the former ?

Not so. Having the authority, it is our duty to exercise that authority, and either to force the Lords to retrace their steps, or else to make such in novations on their Institution as shall preclude the possibility of its perpetrating any very se rious mischief for the future. One of these things we must do—and that, ere another year has rolled over our heads ; for such is the pre sent state of affairs, that to halt is ruin—to re trace our course a moral impossibility. As for the " sooner or later "—a phrase, by the bye, of which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER 15 somewhat too lavish in his speech—we are not in a condition to rest satisfied with such vague and distant assurances of improvement. Our wrongs are pressing—prompt, therefore, must be their remedy. Doubtless, if Mr. SPRING RICE were labouring under an excruciating fit of the gout, he would not apply to that physician who should promise him a cure " sooner or later ;" but to him who should go at once to work in a vigorous, unflinching spirit. And in this spirit must Ministers also go to work, if they desire to retain their influence with the people. They must act up to the expec tations they themselves have held forth. The Re form Bill being their's, it is their's to put the right interpretation upon it. If Peerage Reform be imperative—and who can gainsay it ?—Peerage Re form must be granted. Evade—trifle with—the ques tion as we may, again and again it must recur to us, and derive fresh strength from every discussion. We are not now on the banks of the Rubicon. We have passed it. Shall we halt, then, in our career ? No, we must on ; but not like the specious tyrant of old, to the destruction of a country, but to its moral and political regeneration. The Reformers of Stockport gave a public dinner on Wednesday to their excellent Representative, Mr. HENRY MARSLAND, which we are happy to state was very numerously and respectably attended. A full report of the proceedings appears in the North Cheshire Reformer of yesterday; but owing to the crowded state of our columns, we have been under the necessity of abridging most of the speeches. It is not a little re markable, that most of the gentlemen who spoke on this occasion, dwelt more upon the urgency of a fur ther Reform in the Ho'use of Commons—a more ex tended suffrage, and the Ballot—than upon the Reform of the House of Lords. They appeared to think that the Reformers want additional strength in the House of Commons—that the people do not exercise a suffi cient control over their Representatives—and that we can only hope to attack successfully the abuses of the Peerage, when all that is necessary to be done in the way of a complete Reform of the Commons has been accomplished. It is appa rent, from the report of their speeches, that Mr. MARSLAND, Mr. POTTER, and Mr. HINDLEY entertain such a conviction. We think differently from these gentlemen on the great question of Peer age Reform—honest and straightforward Reformers though we . know them to be. The Reform of the Lords is the first great thing needful. It ought to form the rallying point of the whole Reform interest, inasmuch as there can be no difference of opinion respecting it. The Ballot is a most important measure—we have constantly advocated its adoption ; but as differences of opinion upon it exist among the most enlightened Reformers, it ought not to be made the test of a party in such a political crisis as the present. What we seek—what all honest Reformers seek—is a measure respecting which there is, and can be, but one opinion among the Liberal interest—and that measure is, the Reform of the Upper House. It may be ob jected, that demanding so much will be followed by the loss of reforms really attainable, among which may be classed a further reform of the Lower House. This is not the fact. The more the people ask the more they will get ; and to insure respect for their peti tions, let them begin by asking something which all may unite in demanding. Let the reform—the speedy reform of the Lords be the universal watchword of Whigs and Radicals, and we shall have nothing to fear from the intrigues of the Tories. `We have much pleasure in extracting the following short article from the Liverpool Telegraph, a new paper just started on liberal principles in that town. The writer puts the tendency of the Municipal Elec tions in its true light, while he exposes the affected disinterestedness of the Tories as to the result. Like a certain congenial personage—" they believe and tremble :" " The Reformers are up and stirring, and their exertions are worthy of the occasion. Perhaps there never will a period occur again, when the result of the Municipal Elections will exercise such an important influence on the character and des tiny of a Ministry. Conscious of the danger of connecting the present elections with political considerations, the Tories affect a disinterested desire to keep the character of the councillor free from the taint of the political partisan ; and yet with ad mirable consistency insist that the principal claim of their can didates for public support consists in the circumstance that they are good Conservatives. The hypocrital denial that the present contest involves political consequences, is too bare faced to deceive even the most unthinking; and the Reformers are acting most judiciously in applying political tests to the different candidates, in order to show the enemies of the people the real nature of that re-action which the Tory press has trumpeted forth to their delighted readers for the last twelve months. " The Reformers have it now in their power, by a masterly use and combination of their resources, to set the final seal to Tory self-delusion, by lessening even the meagre number of Conservatives who found their way into the Council, by acci dent, at the last election." The French Papers of Thursday have just been re ceived by express. The following telegraphic dispatch appears in the official columns of the Moniteur :•••• BAYONNE, OCT. 11.—Gomez has entered Übeda, in the Guadalquivir, where he has found resources of every kind. The Captains-General of Seville and of Grenada, are to collect troops at Ecija. Troops come from Caceres and from the camp of St. Roch. Rodil is still at Rude. Alaix is marching by way of Ofeja. The Carlists announce that Sanz entered Oviedo on the 29th. This news requires confirmation. On the 10th General Lebeau returned to Pam peluna. The English attacked the position of Amezagana on the Bth, without any result. Annexed are extracts from the Journals t—. PARIS, OCT. 12.—The news of the capture of Cabrera seems to be confirmed. At the beginning of this month, it was said at St. Sebastian that the Carlist Chief had been taken prisoner in Aragon, and that his band afterwards dispersed. If we may believe private letters, the band of Gomez had entered Andujar, and was to continue its march to Argona a town situated in the environs of Cordova. A courier from Estremadura arrived at Madrid on the '4th, and brought the news that the Captain General of Andalusia had declared that province in a state of siege. It was reported at Valladolid on the 30th Sept., that the band of Carlists which lately entered the valley of Soba had just ex perienced a defeat from the division of General Peon. A letter from Alicant (to the Garde National de Marseilles) says that a ship called La Reine des Anges, bound from Marseilles to Oran, having touched at a little port in Spai n i n the oc cupation of the Carlists, had been plundered. PARIS, OCTOBER 13. General Denys Davremont left Toulon two days ago. His ostensible mission, as has been said, is to take the command at Oran. His real mission is clearly to explain to Marshal Clausel what the Cabinet requires, and on what conditions he may retain his command. In the first place, he must address an apology to the Minister on the subject of the offer of his resignation, as the Cabinet does not think fit to have condi tions prescribed to it. Then General Davremont is to report to the Marshal, that what is to be done in Africa is to pre serve, not to conquer. If the Marshal thinks fit to compre hend the state of the question, and if the consents to give the General the letter demanded for the Ministers, we may expect that M. Davremont will not ma k e a long stay in Africa ; but as it is possible that the Marshal will refuse, General Davre mont has in his pocket an ordor of command (un Ordre de Connandernentl, which he will produce....-,journal du Coot merce.—Messayer, Oct. 13. We have received by express advices from Madrid o the 9th inst. The following are extracts from letters of the Bth and sth inst. We shall await the arrival of the journals before offering an opinion upon them : Extract of a letter, dated Madrid, October 8 : " The action of Villa Robleda, or rather surprise, proves in a great measure fruitless, Gomez marching into Andalusia without being pursued. After the action of Villa Robleda, he marched by the Sierra de Segura and the towns of Orica and Baeza. On the 23d of September he entered Villa Neuva del Obispa, in the province of Jaen, thence to Übera and Baya by a counter march, entered Andujar on the 27th, and following the high road, entered Cordova at noon on the Ist of October." Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated October 5 : " The last accounts from Andalusia left Gomez, Cabrera, and the other Carlist Chiefs at Übeda and Baeza, where they were committing the most terrible excesses, robbing and murdering in their usual style. The condition of the rebels is described as wretched in the extreme : they are more than half naked, and the coverings they have are of the most motley description. The military enthusiasm of the Andalusians seems to have been roused by the incursions of this fero cious horde. Not only in the vicinity of Jaen, Cordova, and other of the towns more immediately threatened, but from Grenada and the more distant points, the provincials were collecting to put an end to the ravages of the long ter rible band of Gomee. The Carlist chieftain is in a critical position. He must now either 'do or die,' for the brigade under Alaix is within two days march of him. The mountains of Toledo are closed against his flight, and a retreat by the passes of Segura, or into Estremadura, would be equally des perate. I firmly believe that within a week we shall hear of his utter annihilation." BELGIAN k UNDS—Bausens, OCT. 12 Actual Debt, 2% per Cent.

We have received, by an extraordinary express, a copy of Le Charivari, with the following report of the proceed ings of a Council of Ministers upon the affairs of Switzer land. The official character of Le tharivari leaves no doubt, we presumo, of the authenticity of the report : M. Mole—Gentlemen, we have assembled for the pur pose of—. Guizot, for what is it we have assembled? M. Guizot—For :the purpose of taking into considera tion the best means of entering upon hostilities with Switzerland. M. Mole—Oh ! so it is ; how stupid I am, to be sure. Well, gentlemen, you have heard for what reason we have assembled. M. Rosamel (Minister of Marine)—Pshaw ! I have no , thing to do with that. I shall go an have a game of bil liards with Montalivet. M. Martin (Minister of Commerce) —Nothing to do with it ! Do you not see, Rosamel, how important is the subject we are about to discuss ? Are you not Minister of Marine ? M. Rosamel—Pshaw ! man, to be sure I am. But what this to do with the Marine ? A beggarly country like Swit zerland, in which there is not a cupful of salt water. Will you join me, Bernard ? M. Bernard (Minister of War)—Oh, nonsense, Rosamel. Do you think the Minister of War can be absent from a discussion involving the commencement of hostilities ? M. Retornel—Pshaw ! The thing can be quite as well managed without you. However, do as you like ; for my part, I shall go and have my game. [Exit M. Rosamel. M. Mole—Well, we shall now begin. Guizot, how shall we begin ? M. Guizot—We shall begin by determining what diplo matic measures it will be necessary to take. M. Mole—Oh, so we shall. What an ass I am. • Well, gentlemen, I have told you how we are to begin. The di plomatic measures,—in whose department are the diplo matic measures ? M. Guizot—Your own, Sir. M. Mole—Oh, so they are. Lord! Lord! how stupid I am. Well, I shall give orders to all our ambassadors, consuls, and agents to break off their relations with Swit zerland. That will be the best means of making war upon Switzerland. M. Bernard—Well, and what am Ito do ? M. Guizot—You ? M. Mole—You ? M. Bernard—Yes, me. It is a question of war ; and I think it concerns me, as I am Minister of War. M. Guizot—But don't you see that it is a question of diplomatic relations, and that it belongs to the department of the Minister for Foreign Affairs ? M. Bernard 7l —Ah! Yes, yes!_ Molc—Well, in the second place, we have to proceed to —. Guizot, what have we to proceed to in the second place ? M. Guizot—To the question of the " blockade." M. Mole—Well, gentlemen, I have told you what we have to proceed to in the second place. In whose depart ment is the blockade ? M. Duchatel—ln my character of Minister of Finance I shall order all the custom-house officers to " hermetically blockade" the frontiers of Switzerland, in order that all communication may he completely cut off. This will be an excellent means of carrying on the war. M. Bernard—Well, and what have Ito do ? As it is a question of war, it ought to concern me. M. Guizot—But you see clearly it is a question of the Customs, which concerns the Minister of Finance. M. Bernard—Certainly, certainly ! M. Martin—And I, in my character of Minister of Com merce shall give orders that all commercial relations be brozen off with Switzerland. Our treaties of commerce shall be considered as non-existing, and all merchandises shall be driven back to the frontier. Nothing shall enter Switzerland—nothing shall leave it. This will be an ex cellent system of carrying on the war. M. Bernard—Well, and I--. As it is a game of war we are about to play, it strikes me that I should fill the principal character. M. Guizot—But do you not see that it is a question of commerce, and, of course, that it concerns the Minister of Commerce ? M. Bernard—Ah ! Of course I do. M. Mole—We have yet to discuss—Guizot, what is it we have yet to discuss ? M. Guizot—ln order to render the blockade perfectly hermetical, it will be necessary to raise some barriers, and to fix some positions for the custom-house officers. M. Mole—Ah, so it will. Well, Gentlemen, you have heard what we are now to discuss. In whose department is this ? M. Martin—ln my character, as Minister of Public Works. I shall order the immediate construction of these buildings. This will be a good means of carrying on the war. M. Bernard--Well, and what am Ito do? You are continually speaking of " war," and yet my turn is not come yet. M. Guizot—But do you not see that it is merely a ques tion of civil works, and is, of course, in the department o the Minister of Public Works ? If it were a question o. fortifications, then indeed you would be concerned. M. Bernard—Ah ! so I should. M. Gasparin—As to me, in order to second the measures, of my colleagues, I shall intimate to my prefects and sous prefects to put their police on the alert in order to prevent smuggling. Moreover, I shall forbid them to deliver pass ports either to Frenchmen wishing to enter Switzerland or to Swiss wishing to return to it. This, in my opinion, will be an excellent method of carrying on the war. M. Bernard—And what am I to do ? M. Guizot—Do you not see it is a question of passports and police, which is in the department of the Minister of the Interior ? M. Bernard—So, I have nothing to do with it, eh ! Very well. M. Mole—There is nothing further to detain us. Is there, Guizot ? M. Guizot—Certainly not. This combination of mea sures constitutes an excellent system of coercion, and not less glorious for France than the wars of the empire. M. Bernard—Zounds ! do you take me for a blockhead ? What Here is a question of war, and you are all con cerned in it except me, who am Minister of War. Each of you has to take a part in these hostilities ; while I, the Minister of War, must look on with folded arms. Odds triggers ! gentlemen, you are making a fool of me ! M. Guizot—May it please your Excellency not to give way to anger, but rather to consider. M. Bernard —And you call that making war? If you make war in this way, choose a custom-house officer for your Minister of War, and take tax-gatherers for your generals. M. Rosamel (entering joyously)--I have blocked (bloque) Montalivet three times. M. Bernard—And, in faith, I should have done better had I gone with you to block at billiards, instead of losing my time listening to these gentlemen blockading Switzerland. M. Guizot—Patience, my dear colleague. It is now your turn. We learn that the operatives are combining in the department of the Loire Inferieure, under a pretext that they are starving. Assemble the army—put it in motion. Order the officers to charge and to sabre them if necessary. Here is what concerns your department. M. Mole—So it is. You hear, Bernard, what I have told you. Be now convinced that you are employed when anything is to be done which really comos under your de partment. M. Bernard—Ah !— a .A ter l mabonnein nbi hlliaerudsr .e A Society was formed on Wednesday night, at the Crown and Anchor, Strand, for the purpose of advancing the interests of botany in London. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS. (THIS DAY.) Messrs. MYLNE and CRAIG, the Barristers appointed to re vise the List of Voters for the City of London, held their first Court to-day at Guildhall. On taking their seats Mr. MYLNE stated that the course they proposed to take was this :—ln this Court (the King's Bench) he (Mr. Myine) would revise the List of the Liveries ' - and his Learned Friend Mr. Craig would sit in the Court of Common Pleas to revise the List of Householders. After revising the Lists of the Livery, he (Mr. Mylne) proposed to proceed with the Lists of the Householders, beginning at the letter N.—the Court sitting every day from ten till four o'clock. _ _ A GENTLEMAN suggested that it would be convenient that the Court should not proceed further than receiving the Lists to-day. Mr. MTLNE said, with respect to the Liverymen, he thought he should be enabled, in addition to receiving the Lists, to dispose of several cases; but as to the Lists of Householders, no doubt his Learned Friend would be occupied the whole day in receiving them. Mr.' CRAIG said that it occupied him the whole day last year, and it would probably take more time this, as he should have to ask in every case, in consequence of the Act passed in the last Session, whether the list had been made out by the 31st July, instead of the 31st August. One of the Solicitors in attendance suggested that it would be more convenient if Mr. Mylne, after he had disposed of the lists of the Livery, was to proceed with the lists of the house holders, beginning at the' letter Z, and proceeding backward till he met Mr. Craig. After some discussion the arrange ment was agreed to. All the lists having been received, Mr. Mylne proceeded to read the names in each seriatim, beginning at the APOTHECARIES' COMPANY. No objection were made to any of the names on this list. ARMOURERS AND BRAZIERS. Mr. RowcaoFr objected to the name of George Marshall, Pagent's Wharf, Rothorhithe, on the ground that he did not reside within the limits prescribed by the Act. No person appearing to support the vote, it was disallowed. BAKER'S COMPANY. The vote of James Brown, 16, Cooper's-row, Tower-hill, was objected to on the ground that no residence was affixed to his name on the printed list. Mr. MYLNE directed the official printed list to be produced, and his same and full address appearing there, the objection was withdrawn. The vote of Wm. Boswell Frostick, Road side, Edmonton, was also objected to, but the notice of ob jection not being sufficient, it was overruled. The objection to the vote of George Galaway, Silver-street, Edmonton, shared the same fate. The vote of John Reed, Harrow, was objected to by Mr. Rowcroft, on the ground that his address exceeded the limits prescribed by the Act of Parliament. Mr. MYLNE thought the objection invalid, inasmuch as no proof had been shown that Harrow was upwards of 7 miles from London. Mr. ROWCROFT was prepared to prove it was. Mr. MYLNE—But the Act of Parliament has stated that you shall not be at liberty to prose auything until you have shown your service of the notice of objection was valid. Now in the present case it clearly is not. Mr. ROWCROFT submitted that the fact of the voter residing without the limits prescribed was quite sufficient. Mr. MYLNE was of a contrary opinion, and disallowed the objection. Mr. ROWCROFT observed, that there would come a case before the Court, in which the party was described as residing at St. Petersburgh ; and in that case it was of course impos sible to serve the party with the notice of objection. If what the Learned Gentleman had held was to be considered the proper course to adopt, in many instances persons would have votes that ought not. Mr. MYLNE—I cannot help it, it is the fault of the Act. Mr. ROWCROFT—The Act is a bungling affair in many re spects. Mr. MYLNE—I must interpret it as I find it, however faulty it may be. Before R. D. CRAIG, Esq., in the Court of Common Pleas. The Overseers, Collectors, and other officers of the various parishes were in attendance, with their books with the lists of claims and objections. The Overseers were sworn as to the correctness of the lists, and that they had in all respects com plied with the provisions of the Act of Parliament.

THREE O' CL 0 CK. Consols for the Account, SBi. A gentleman of the name of Lloyd, who resides at Camden -town, was passing along the end of Tottenham court-road on Wednesday morning, with a young lady in a gig, when the way was impeded for a few minutes by a mud-cart on the near side of the road, and a chain of ve hicles on the off side. While the gig was detained, some dirt was thrown on the lady twice, and on its being done a third time IVIr. Lloyd detected one of the fellows himself. He alighted to know the cause of so gross an offence, when the fellow, supported by his fraternity, menaced Mr. Lloyd, who from the irritation of the moment turned to, and in about five minutes gave the dastardly offender such a thrashing as will probably deter him from committing a si milar offence for some time. His head was hideously dis figured, to the no small amusement of the spectators, when Mr. Lloyd stepped into his gig and drove off amidst shouts of applause. STEAM PADDLES.—A recent experiment has proved that the supply of water to the paddle-wheels of steam-vessels does not come from the surface of the water, or from the sides of the space through which the wheel moves at each evolution in the water but from beneath. It was proved as follows :—A steam-vessel was moored in deep water, the surface of which was for a considerable distance round strewed (it being calm weather) with saw dust. The engine was then put in motion, and it was ob served that the sawdust all around, and everywhere, except immediately behind the paddle-wheels, remained undis placed. SIMILE.—A preacher, while descanting on the im possibility of the sinner retracinc , his steps after he had gone a certain length, used the following striking illustra tion of his position :—" My brethren, it it a very easy task to row a skiff over Niagara falls, but a tremendous job to row it back again I"—American Paper.

THE GEM AND BRILLIANT.—The great match between these beautiful boats, was appointed to take place on Monday next ; the usual below bridge distance—from Greenwich to Graves end and back. The match is made at odds, in consequence of the very superior sailing of the Brilliant in light air. Whe ther she is so stiff a boat as the Gem, is yet to be proved ; at any rate, 301. to 201., the odds coming from the Brilliant, savours a little of over confidence. Considering the boats are each of the same tonnage (eight), betting is 5 and d to 4 on the Brilliant. It is more than probable that there will be a stiff breeze out. Should it be so, the Gem will be suited admirably. PHELPS AND WATTS...—It appears evident, in this long talked-of contest, that Phelps h as ver y littl e i nc li na ti on t o oppose himself to the superior tactics of the Waterloo man. But a week since, Phelps's letter declared his intention to row ; but he then expressed a desire to have a clear straight away wager, and p ro p ose d p u t t i ng d own hi s money. O n t h e meeting of the men, before a very full attendance of the ama teurs, it was evident that they could not come to terms. Watts very justly observed that, as scullers, they ought to do what all others had done before them—row a fair waterman's wager, exerting all the generalship they knew. Phelps de clared that he could not make such a wager, he wanted no fouling. Watts explained the difficulty that must necessarily arise ; if the sculls touched it would be deemed fouling, and the umpires would have considerable difficulty in such a match. After a general dispute, Watts gave an undertaking not to foul if he could prevent it, and the final consideration was left until Mr. Layton, a gentleman well known as a liberal patron of river sports, had been consulted. Watts has received the answer—that Phelps will row nothing but the clear wager. It is to be regretted that either, of the men should differ on a point which does not appear of very material consequence. Phelps has been the victor, and ought to concede a little. They have both served their time as watermen, and have dis tinguished themselves in a great many wagers. To have a clear wager rowed, is a very difficult matter. The last thing of the sort—with Ellis, Byford, and Newel—was a wrangle, and the money has not yet been given up. Newel would not row out of the way to let Byford pass him, and the latter fouled a raft. It was then contended that Newel had gone out of his course to " pick his adversary up." It would be a better plan for the men to row the match against time, each starting from the same arch ; one going away five minutes be fee the other. THE NEW DIANA AND THE ALARM.—A match has been made between these very fast fours, for 201., from Westmin ster to Putney against tide. It will be rowed on either Mon day or Tuesday. THE MESSRS. GoutNos.—The large establishment of these gentlemen is to be opened within a fortnight ; and to give more eclat to the entertainment, a rowing match, with two pair of sculls in each boat, twelve boats, will take place. The brewery is on the Surrey shore, facing Hungerford. The session of the Dutch States-General opens on Monday next. Lord Sefton is at present at Frankfort, and occu pies, with his family, a suite of apartments at the Hotel de Russie. Lord Brougham intended to leave Brougham Hall .his day for London. Yesterday a deputation from the serjeants and con stables of the G division of police waited on Mr. James Dixon, their late superintendent, to present him with a handsome snuff-box, as a testimonial of the high esteem and respect to which his upright and considerate conduct en titled him during his superintendency. Among the recent arrivals at Bath, in addition to those named three or four days ago, are Baron Von Lech tenstein, Sir William Clinton, Sir Charles Wetherell, Sir M. and Lady Blackiston, Col. and Mrs. Chatterley, Major Fetheringten, Capt. Tyson, Rev. Messrs. Mogg, Powell, Stuart, Wilson, &c. ; Mr. and Mrs. Cook, Herbert, Lees, Elwell, Platt, Archibald, Alexander, Wigford, Quinan, Kuyston, Burrell, M.P., Labouchere, Frere, &c. '0 GREAT DINNER AT LIMERICK T THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHFVER. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Limerick, Thursday Morning, 1 o'clock. This splendid festival has this moment concluded, An d the proceedings cannot fail to prove in the highest degreee satisfactory to the friends of good government, mo re esp _ cially as it will be recollected, that until lately there was considerable difference of opi n i on between the great Int rity, not only of the citizens of Limerick, but of the in a bitants of the county, and th e Chancellor of the Exche quer, whose sentiments were not considered by them heretofore to be sufficiently liberal. The dinner of to-daY, however, has exhibited, perhaps, more stronglY other occurrence of late, the determination of al l sincere Reformers to unite for the purpose of procuring t he g reat . ends which the Reform Bill commenced and conte m p lated The most respectable and influe n ti a l persons in the count,Y' and the principal portion of the commercial wealt h of ti,' town—men of all shades of lib era l opinions—assem bled on to the o'er: the present occasion to pay a merited tribute than anY e tions of his Majesty's Government.

As it was, every nook in w hi c h a s id e table 031 be placed, was occupied, and the result was, that the tbroni was absolutely inconvenient, the attendance being larger than at any other public dinner that has ever occurred l° Limerick.
