FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. .1 4 1 P &WE. PARIS, Oci. 21.—1 t becomes more and more difficult to appreciate the real state of things in Andalusia, We read this evetllng, in the Ministerial joutnais - -- 114 _7,7:: r ao l i,ows tile extract from the ri ammercio, relative to the defeat of " These particulars are indeed given by the E co, which may have picked them up on 'Change at Madrid, and printed them in an extraordinary supplement." The same journal says, that the troops of Estremadura were marching to Cordova ; that Rodil had arrived at Despenaperros ; that Quiroga had sent national guards to Jaen ; and that Alaix had passed on the 9th through Aluan dete and Baina. At the same time a report from Espi nosa announced that 5,000 rebels had advanced, by way of Fernan Nunez, towards Caeva. Espinosa, therefore, sent troops to La Carlota to cover Seville. As far as we can judge Gomez would therefore be advancing to the South, and the Queen's troops would occupy the position that he quitted. But Ire repeat it, all this is but conjecture, and it would have to be reconciled with the second news of the evening journals, dated Bayonne, Oct. 20, respecting the further progress of Gomez. An order of the day of General Harispe, while it praises the activity manifested on the frontier to prevent the smug gling of ammunition, recommends the officers under his command to do their utmost to hinder it, and ensure the execution of the ordinance of July 14, which prohibits the sending to the Carlists any supplies of men, money, arms, horses, ammunition, &c.—Journal du Commerce, Oct. 22.

OCT. 15.—The military news which has reached the capital this day, is of the most cheering description, and in the hope that it is true, fully compensates for the dark and anxious period we have latterly passed. The complete rout of Maroto and Ayerve into Catalonia, by the troops under the command of Guerra, forcing the rebels to seek the French territory for safety ; the repulse of Sanz from the walls of Oviedo ; and, above all, the announcement of the defeat of Gomez, in Andalusia, by the division of Alaix, have tended to dissipate the gloom which every post from the South during the last fortnight, bringing the intelligence of some fresh success of the rebels, had cast over the pros pects of the Constitutionalists. As the account of the affair in Catalonia has reached Madrid from Bayonne, having been telegraphed to that city from Perpignan, you will no doubt have received the full particulars before this letter can reach yoa. The fol lowing brief announcement in the Extraordinary Gazette is nearly, all that is at present known of the encounter be tween the Queen's troops and the rebels in Andalusia : " General Alaix, from Alcala la Real, on the 11th inst., writes to the Captain-General of Granada, that Gomez occupied on the 9th the town of Priego, and that the rebel desiring to know the true position of the Queen's troops, adopted the stratagem of sending a flag of truce to that General under the pretext of proposing an exchange of pri soners ; but General Alaix, aware of the object of the visit, refused to hold communication with the party, send ing them all, consisting of a Colonel, Adjutant, two lan cers, and a trumpeter, to Granada." The following statement is then given as the substance of various communications made to the Minister of the In terior from the Postmasters of different towns in the line of road from Granada : " The troops of General Alaix were on the 12th instant within view of those of Gomez, and according to a Post office courier arrived this morning, it appears that an ac tion took place between Alcandete and Priego, in which the vanguard of Gomez was routed. The same courier affirmed that General Espinosa had entered Cordova at the head of a brilliant column." From the reports that have come in from all quarters it seems beyond all question that an action has taken place. Some accounts state that 1,500 prisoners had been made, and that 1,000 of the rebels were killed upon the field, Gomez himself having offered to capitulate. The offer, however, it is said, was rejected, the position of the different divisions under Espinosa, Quiroga, and Rodil being such as to render escape impossible. I told you in a late letter that the lateral movement of Gomez, whereby he placed himself between Granada, Seville, and Malaga, would render his escape impossible if the local authorities performed their duty in giving prompt and exact information of his move ments to the commanders of the Queen's forces. I need not point out to you the vast importance of a vic tools of his own. He entertains views apart from his col leagues in the Cabinet, and he,. of course, seeks separate instruments to accomplish his objects. .In the present state of parties in §paini patriaisth is struggling at odds aaAiha. often and colitOaled trOason, much may be done by the means which corruPil" :'-!w..ays at itsdis- r posal ; and when a crowned head stoops to the task or suborning a people from their allegiance, fomenting disaf fection, and creating by the force of intrigue the very cit.. cumstances upon which he seeks to justify a predetermined policy, the danger to a country's luppiness is of no ordinary magnitude. _ _ _ Since writing the above I have heard that. M. de Cases has received orders to quit the Spanish territory, and that M. de Latour Maubourg has not opposed his departure. The attempt to establish him here is not the less deserving reprobation. SiVITZERLAND. EXTRAODINARY SESSION OF THE HELVETIC DIET. FIRST DAY OF MEETING, MONDAY, OCT. 17. At nine o'clock, the Deputies of the 22 Cantons of Switzerland assembled in the usual place of meeting. The Diet was opened by M. Tscharner (Avoyer in charge of the Republic at Berne, the present Vorort), who delivered a speech in pretty nearly the following terms : " Dear and faithful Confederates,—Scarcely was the last Diet dissolved, after the termination of its important la bours, among which was the adoption of a concluszn, cal culated, if ithfully executed, to secure repose and tran quillity to Switzerland both abroad and at home, when the Vorort, which had felt bound to bring a subject of grave importance under the cognizance of the Diet, previous to its dissolution, found itself compelled by the consequences which had resulted from that affair, again to convoke you together, in order that your combined efforts and knowledge might have the effect of procuring for it a satisfactory ter mination. This is now the only matter to which you need direct your attention, because, in consequence of the deci- sion lately come to by the Canton of Vaud relative to the conclusum, that Canton has, fortunately, set a noble exam ple, by making a sacrifice of its own strong convictions to the general advantage. The Canton of Vaud will hence forth adhere to the conclusum adopted by its co-states, and consequently the conduct of that Canton will not occupy your attention. The Vorort will present to you without delay its report respect:ng the execution of the conclusum relative to the refugees. I now declare the extraordinary Session of the Helvetic Diet of 1836 to be open. The Chancellor then read the eredentials . of all the de puties which were admitted without any observation. The deputies sent to the extraordinary session of this Diet are— For Berne—MM. Tscharner, Tillier, and Sinion. Zurich—MM. Keller, Hesse, and Zeheuder. Lucerne—MM. Amrhyn and Schnyder. Uri—MM. Schmid and Muller. Schwitz—MM. Hediger and &timid de Lachen. Unterwaldcn—MM. Spichlig and Ackermann. Glaris—M. Blurrier. Zug—MM. Heglin and Kaiser. Fribourg—MM. Maillairdoz and D'Eglise.

Valais—MM. Reidmatter and Mauguin Delapierre. Neuchatel—MM. Chambrier and 'forrissa. Geneva—M. Fatio and Rilliet Constant. The President then submitted to the Assembly, whether it would be more expedient to have, in the first place, a general discussion on the affair to be taken into considera tion, or at once to appoint a commission for the purpose of reporting on all the documents relating thereto. On the division taking place, the following cantons voted in favour of the proposition that the instructions should be at once opened :—Uri, Unterwalden, Zug, Neuchatel, Fri bourg, Schwitz, Bale (town), being six and a half votes. The following voted for beginning the proceedings by the appointment of a commission—Zurich, Soleure, Schaffou sen, St. Gall, Argon. Ticino, Valais, Geneva, Vaud, Thur garia, Grisons, Appezell, Bale (country), Glaris, Lucerne, Berne, being fifteen and a half votes. The deputation from Zurich proposed that the commis sion should be composed of seven members. The following are the names of the members of the commission, who were chosen by ballot :—MM. Tscharner, Keller, Mounard, Amrhyn, Kern, Maillerdez, and Nagel. The Diet adjourned at a quarter past 12 o'clock. lIOLLA.ND. THE HAGUE, OCT. 20. SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL. A message from his Majesty was read, announcinc , to the Chamber, that of the three candidates proposed to him for the office of President during the present session, M. L. C. Luzar was chosen, who, having taken the chair, ad dressed the Chamber in a short speech ; after which the sections for October were appointed, and chose their Presi dents. The sitting was then suspended for a short time, after which the Minister of Finance was introduced, and submitted the budget for the ensuing year. In the preamble of his speech he said— " Most ardently do I wish that I could have drawn your attention to the end of our political concerns, and with that to the new era, whose justice shall take the place of force, permanency of continual change, and when all the affairs of the kingdom may be considered in a more secure and durable point of view. For, however the Government, with your High Mightiness, and the whole nation, wishes for the arrival of that era, we must lament that our external situation has remained the same since last year, and that though, thinks to Divine Providence, we have not shared in the embarrassments which have visited some other na tions, we have not reached the end of the many cares and difficulties which are the inevitable consequences of the undeserved Belgian insurrection, an insurrection as treason able in its origin, as scandalous in its course, and pernicious in its consequences. " But if I can say nothing more respecting our foreign affairs for the satisfaction of our wishes, our domestic affairs, on the contrary, afford ample room for the grateful acknowledgment that blessing and prosperity continue to be our lot, and enable me to come before you with the con viction that our country is continually advancing in pro sperity, welfare, and moral strength,' His Excellency then proceeded to: comment on the flourishing state of trade and commerce and manufactures, the improvement of the prospects of agriculture, the good state of the finances, and of public credit, as noticed in the speech from the throne. His Excellency then stated the reductions that it had been possible to make, and pre sentted the budgets of the expenditure and ways and means for the year 1837. The expenditure' is : fixed at 44,617,013 florins. The sum of 530,000 florins . is placed at the King's disposal, for any unforeseen expenses that may occur in the year 1887. The ways and means remain nearly the same as last year. tory over the rebels in Andalusia at the present moment. The bad spirit of the populace in the southern provinces has been made painfully manifest since the entrance of Gomez into those quarters, and the effect of any success gained by him over the Queen's troops in the field would give an impetus to that spirit, which might lead on to results past all calculation. On the other hand, the de struction of the hordes of the Pretender who have pene trated into Andalusia, after traversing 400 leagues of the Peninsula, with but a single reverse, would make treason, which was beginning to show a formidable front, emboldened by the success of its leaders, again crouch to the earth. It is yet perhaps too early to anticipate the course that ought to be taken on the news above stated turning out to be true to the full extent. But the day of reckoning cannot be distant. If the Queen's Government is to be upheld, severe examples must be made ; and in great numbers, .I fear, in high stations as well as low. If the Government do not act with firmness, and without re spect to persons, upholding the authority of the laws, by letting fall the sword of justice upon the offenders, the work, it is to be feared, will be taken out of their hands, and for one victim twenty may suffer. Rodil, having passed the Sierra Morena, was on the 13th at Puerto Lano. Sanz, from before Oviedo, had taken the direction of Leon. General Peon was close in his pursuit with 5,000 infantry and 260 horse. Espartero has sent word to the Government that he will answer with his head that not a soldier of the rebel army shall cross the Ebro. The new French Ambassador, M. Latour Maubourg, arrived here yesterday. He has not yet had his audience of her Majesty ; but he has seen the Spanish Prime Minister, Senor Calatrava, to whom he has conveyed the expression not only of his own personal esteem, but also that of Louis Philippe, with the assurance of his Royal Master's undiminished affection for Spain, and his earnest desire to contribute to the consolidation of her liberties. The Ambassador did not disclose the effective measures by which the French Sovereign purposes to guarantee the liberal cause in this country, and, to judge by the company in which M. Maubourg has come to Madrid, it is more than probable that these measures will not transpire through his means. M. de Cases is the individual to whom I allude, and who, to the surprise of all here, has come in the train of the French embassy. This individual has. twice been sent out of Spain by the Government, on account of his_ alleged intrigues against the liberties of the country. The Liberalof tO-da; (a Government per) announces the arrival of this person as follows We understand that yesterday M. le Comte de Latour Maubourg arrived in this capital, and that under his pro tection has been brought into Spain a subject of France of more than doubtful reputation, who has been expelled once, or oftener,. from this country. If thi s b e t rue , we hope that the Government will not hesitate for one moment in ordering him to depart with the least possible delay, since his presence here, under existing circumstances, cannot be less prejudicial to the public interests than upon former oe-, casions.' The sentiment thus expressed is the echo of every in dependent mind. His coming under such auspices would at any time be deemed an insult ; but at the present mo ment, when the intentions of the French Government towards Spain are " more than doubtful," the selection of such an individual as a diplomatic agent is regarded as an undisguised avowal of the most sinister views. The pro ceeding is perfectly characteristic of the Cabinet of the Tuileries. M. Latour.

The Gallery of the History of Art painted in fresco, will not be ready for some years, and the collec tion of engravings will not be placed in the apartments as signed on the ground floor, in less than a year. The prospect for the improvement of the navigation of the Upper Danube is on the eve of being realized.

(From the Edinburgh Evening Courant.) A public dinner was given at Hawick to the Earl of Minto, on Friday, by about 300 of the Reformers of that town and neighbourhood. The Chair was filled by John Goodfellow, Esq., senior Magistrate of the burgh, sup ported on the right by the Earl of Minto, Robert Pringle, Esq., of Clifton, William Gibson Craig, Esq., younger of Riccarton, Sir Wm. Scott, Bart., of An crum, Sir David Brewster, James Forrest, Esq., of Co miston, Capt. J. Murray, of Philiphaugh, - Stewart, Esq., of Glenormiston, the Hon. George Elliot, and George Main, Esq., Bailie of Kelso. On the left by Walter Wilson, Esq., James Elliot, Esq., of Wolflec, Lord Melgund, A. Jerdon, Esq., of Bonjedward, George Cleghorn, Esq., of Weens, Rev. D. Aitken, of Minto. Peter Wilson, Esq., junior Magistrate of Hawick, of ficiated as croupier. After the usual loyal toasts, the CHAIIIMAN gave the health of the Earl of Minto, which was received with loud cheers. Lord MINTo, on presenting himself, was most cordially greeted by the meeting, and also by the ladies in the gal lery. On silence being restored his Lordship said—l am sure you will give me credit for speaking no more than the plain and sober truth, when I say that words cannot convey to you my sense of the compliment which you and my fel low-citizens, here assembled, have this evening paid to me. Believe me, Bailie Goodfellow and citizens of Hawick, I truly appreciate the value of your disinterested approba tion, well knowing that, as a burgess of Hawick, I am as sociated with those whose talents, independence, and public virtue would do honour to any station ; and let those who may, Gentlemen, affect a proud indifference, I will frankly avow that. I neither envy nor applaud the feelings of that man who can disregard the good opinion of his friends, his neighbours, and his countrymen.—(Cheers.) Much has passed since I last had the honour of meeting you in this place. Our opponents had then possessed themselves of a short-lived power, and with many fair words sought to win your confidence and support, as the friends of Reform. Measures and not men, was the cry of their partisans, who fairly outbid us in large professions of liberality ; for they who do not pay can afford to bid high prices.— (Cheers.) I then endeavoured to expose the fallacy of this silly jargon, contending that such measures as might proceed from them, however fair on the surface, would ever in spirit and effect be found to bear the impress of their authors. And I cautioned you—l believe, indeed, most unnecessarily—to distrust these large professions of new-born zeal for reformation and improvement, Look at the history of the two succeeding sessions of Parliament, and tell me, did I wrong their liberality ? Trace the pro gress of the English Municipal Reform Bill, contended at every stcj where it was possible to maintain a fragment of ancient abuse, and finally greatly impaired its efficiency and character. Look at the insult offered to Ireland by these friends of free institutions and of corporate reform, who, when they found it impossible any longer to maintain the impure constitution of Irish corporations, resolved that Ireland should, at least, obtain nothing better in their place, and endeavoured at one blow and for ever, to extinguish the principle of municipal government in that country, re serving, however, to the individual members of those cor rupt bodies, which they suppressed, as much as possible of the patronage and influence that had been so scandal ously abused in their hands. I might refer you to the Irish Church Bills, to the Charitable Trusts Bill, to the long list of wholesome measures rejected in the mere wantonness of Toryism, and to many examples of the pertinacity with which our opponents still cling to all that is most unsound in our institutions, and most grievous to the people—but the proceedings of the last Session of Parliament are fresh in your recollection, and I need not detain you further by dwelling on them in detail. I leave the facts to speak for themselves ; and if at some future period a Tory Ministry should, with many fair words, again claim your confidence and support, I shall only ask you to deal with them accord ing to their acts which you have witnessed.—(Cheers.) For myself, in, as out of office, my course in all these things has been direct and uniform. Warmly attached to those great principles of liberty and order, so happily blended in the British Constitution, it has ever been my object to con ciliate the rights of the people with the integrity of Parlia ment and the prerogatives of the Crown. It was, indeed, a great error to imagine that the active, intelligent, and high minded people of Scotland would longer consent to be cx- eluded from all concern in the management of their own interests—from all participation in the government of the .. . country in which they had so deep a stake. This was felt and recognised when the great Constitutional measure of Reform was conceded to you—the great charter of Scottish liberties, which, for the first time, admitted us within the true pale of the British Constitution. In this just cause I had the happiness to cooperate with you, and such as I then was I trust you will ever find me—(cheers)—the firm friend of rational liberty and improvement, though no advocate for wanton innovation, or for lightly tampering with our ancient usages and laws.—(Cheers.) And here let me ap peal to any unbiassed judgment, which party most justly claim the title of Conservative—whether it be we, who, by enlarging and fortifying the basis on which they rest, give stability to all those institutions which are inseparably bound up with the Constitution ?—or those who, rejecting its es sence, and the pure principles upon which it is founded, cling only to the blemishes and defects which time and change of circumstances have produced, and acknowledge the Constitution only in its corruptions and anomalies?— (Cheers.) And now, one word upon the prospect before us. Much yet remains to be effected in the steady pro • spect of improvement—something in Scotland—something in England—everything in unhappy Ireland ; in all these things success is in your hands, if pursued with con stancy, with energy, and with patience ; for the settled, sober, rational will of the people is irresistible, when calmly and constitutionally urged. Constitutionally, Gen tlemen ; I love to &ell upon that word, denoting the true light by which alone we may safely walk. Disap pointments have occurred, and will doubtless again be ex perienced, but day by day some progress is made, and every year is marked by some improvement. Nor is this tardy progress peculiar to our times—such has been the invariable course of British legislation. The exclusive privileges of the East India Company—the monopoly of the Bank of England—the revision of our criminal code, —it would be easy to enumerate many more examples, have afforded occupation to many successive Parliaments — the abolition of the slave trade—and the crowning uwa sure of Parliamentary Reform, each occupied nearly the whole lives of the illustrious men by whom they "re achieved. I look then with patient confidence to the fu ture. We have now a House of Commons which speaks the voice of the country. We have a Sovereign upon the throne wit() has no desire so near his heart as the happiness and welfare of his people. I speak this not in flattery, but as the homage d ue t o t ru th,is no I say that theres no man in this empire, be lie high or be he low, whose every thought is more devoted to the prosperity of Eng land than that illustrious Monarch, under whose seep , tre the Reform Bill became our law.—(Loud cheers.) We have indeed a House of Lords which does not syin- pathise with the people—but even there, we find upon its benches men whose splendid talents and high at- tainments are devoted to your cause, and whose influence and example must finally prevail.—(Loud applause.) For, be assured that in this country there is no authority so high, no power so great, that it can continue long and safely to set at nought the interest of the public, and the oninion. Gentlemen, once more allow tee to re -tfelt ack, vledgmcnts for the honour ^ you urn you my Lord Minto sat down amidst lave done me this Cti2lini•—( great cheering.) Lord Mingo again rose, and perp ,6fed the health of the Maiistratos. 'l he CHAIRMAN returned thanks , and prwsc(.l the health of Sir William Scott , Bart. , of Ancrum, the Liberal cleettits of the County of Roxburgh, with all the honours.--(Applaus.) Sir WILLIAM Scorr returned thanks, and proposed the health of Earl Grey, which was drank with all the honours. The CHAIRMAN had now the honour to announce, as 'a toast, the health of Lord Melbourne, and the Ministers of the King.—(Loud cheers.) Lord b MlNTo, in acknowledging the toast, said—l once more present myself to your notice, to return you my warmest acknowledgments for the manner in which the toast has been received, and at the same time to thank you in the name of my colleagues and myself, for the liberal allowance you have made for the difficulties in which we were placed, and for your kindness in overlooking all our imperfections. What were the professions of the Gover nment ? Abroad the preservation of peace, and a jealous assertion of the widely extended rights and interests of this great empire in every part of the globe—at home the ad vancement of civil and religious liberty—a just regard for the honest wishes of the people in the reform of abuses, by which they felt themselves aggrieved—deep reverence for the Constitution, which they were resolved to maintain in violate—rigid economy in the public expenditure—the en couragement of commerce, and an anxious care for every branch of our national industry.—(Cheers.) Look abroad, then, and you will find the pacific policy of England not confined to her own shores, but extendin g its interest to remote nations, and gratefully acknowledged by those powerful States, who have sought our mediation, to compose their differences ; at home, what depended upon itself the Government has achieved—taxation has been re duced, the revenue has improved, commerce and industry have flourished, and they are manifest in every class of society—the surest indication of prosperity. These things are not at least characteristic of bad government. What depended upon others was attempted, and the failure does not lie at our door. Though many important measures, however, were defeated, the last Session of Parliament was not absolutely barren of improvement, and some good laws were enacted—amongst these one especially gave me much satisfaction, as affording relief to the consciences of many who dissent from the Church of England—l mean the Bill for regulating marria g es and the registration of birth and funerals in England. These, howeyer, are in truth but trifles of small account, for whilst the grievances of Ireland are unredressed, England cannot hope to obtain full security and repose.—(Great applause.) I know that, in saying this, I expose myself to the taunts which have been so freely lavished upon us, as the disciples, or rather the puppets, of O'Connell. Now, let me say once for all, that great as I value the support of the Government by Mr. O'Connell, and which I think highly honourable to him, and I trust is not dishonourable to us, yet that no man more strongly condemns than I do many of the doctrines of that gentleman, and still more the language in which they are conveyed. But do not fall, gentlemen, into the error of supposing that Mr. O'Connell is the author of Irish agi tation—do not confound the cause with the effect. Mr. O'Connell, with that great talent which he so formidably wields, is himself but the creature of circumstances—but the consequence of his country's wrongs. Do justice to Ireland—cease to insult her people as aliens unworthy of the privileges which have been fully conferred upon us, and Mr. O'Connell is subdued ; or, if he wishes to retain his popularity, must cease to agitate.(Cheers.) Persist in withholding justice from Ireland, and, whatever may be his fate, fresh O'Connells will never be wanting for the work of agitation. "If Philip should die," exclaimed De mosthenes to the base Athenians, whom he rebuked, "if Philip should die, ye yourselves would raise another Philip."—(Loud cheers.) Mr. WALTER WILSON gave the health of Mr. Pringle and the Liberal Electors of Selkirkshirc. trusted they would never return such a man who called - for a reform of the Peerage, although it was their duty to see that every thing was done to make the voice of the people be heard ; and there was no doubt that public opinion would be irresistible. He thought he could not better con clude than to drink the health of Captain Elliot, their late representative, and may lie soon be their representative again.—(Loud cheering.) b The Rev. Mr. AITKEN said, the toast which I have to propose, is the health of one of the most distinguished indi viduals, not only in this great co7intry, but I might almost say in the world of living men.—(Applause.) TIN toast is the health of Lord Brougham, associated with the edu cation of the people.--(Loud cheers.) You will not ex pect that I mean to enter on the eulogy of Lord Brougham, if I did, I should not know where to begin ; nor, having be gun, should I know where to. end.—(Cheers.) For whether ; regard him in his Parliamentary career—as a proficient irt polites2iterature—or as one who bas successfully trodden the more Abstruse works of science—or as the intrepid sup porter of thos:.` measures which we agree in considering best calculated to culrance the welfare of society, his merits seem to Ibe so varied, and almost unbounded, that I con sider the best tribute I can •pay him, is to leave theirs to your own sense and conviction of their greatness. All, or the greater part of you, must still recollect the period when he almost stood alone in advocating those popular rights, which are now, and mainly through his assist ance, in a great measure triumphant.—(Great applause.) While in another sphere, in that most important associa tion formed for the d iffusion of useful knowledge, Le was one of the earliest, as he has ever been one of the ablest of its supporters. And even in a higher capacity still, when placed in the most august station which a subject can occupy, as presiding over the justice of this mighty empire, we find him sustaining the duties of this high office with credit to himself and advantage to the laws and judicial proceedings of his country. But, while eminent in the various stations h e has successively filled, perhaps his highest and most distinguishing claim is that of the consis tent and indefatigable assertor of the rights of the people at large. I cannot, however, sit down without saying a word or two on the °Teat cause with which his name is now connected in the toast int into my hands—(Cheers) —I mean the education of the .people.- And Ido so the more, from professional considerations, seeing that an im pression has sometimes gone abroad, that the education of the people is adverse to their best interests ; that, though it may cultivate the understanding, it is unfa vourable to their religion and morality. This I hold, both on speculative grounds, and from observation, to be the grossest of all delusens. I will not trouble you with abstract reasonings, but, r ask, can the increase of knowledge, the propagation of any tras 4 h, the exercise of the higher and nobler faculties of the mine; be otherwise than most favourable, so far as their influencer operate on the moral and religious character ? When other lands, I have invariably found, that religious sentimerfts, the practi cal virtues of morality, and all benevolent and humane af fections, have borne some proportion to the education of the people. Indeed, so close is the connection, that an intelligent observer, often, in passing from one state to an other, without much farther knowledge of the inhabitants, might determine the extent of their education from the visible signs, that come in his way , of the ir reli g ious habits, th correctness of their morals, and the indica tions he discovers of domestic order and happiness. Truth is ever in agreement with itself, one and the same ; no particular truth can be advanced without some benefit done, one way or other, to other truths. Religious truth is part of this great whole. Every thing, therefore, that serves to elevate and improve the human faculties will have a tendency which so far is favourable to the integrity and virtues of life—and hence the education of the people, and especially of the working classes, must be hailed with satisfaction by every intelligent and enlightened Christian, and is an object to which, for my own part as a teacher of religion, I desire all success. It will long afford me heart felt satisfaction that I have had the honour, in a large as sembly of this kind, to propose success to so good a cause, and also to couple with it the health of one who has la boured so ably in its behalf.—(Drank with applause.) Among the several toasts which were given, were " Sir James Gibson Craig," " Mr. Abercromby," " The Liberty of the Press," &c. At half-past ten Lord Minto retired, and was followed by all the other gentlemen. Mr. PRINGLE returned thanks. The CHAIRMAN proposed the health of Lord Mulgrave, coupled with justice to Ireland.—(Cheers.) Sir WILLIAM SCOTT, in proposing the next toast, said, while they had a careful eye to the independence of their own county, they should not forget that their sympathy was due to the inhahitants of another distinguished district, who were now engaged, and he trusted with success, in estab lishint, their freedom. He meant to propose the health of Mr. William Gibson Craig, the Liberal candidate for the county of Mid-Lothian.—(Cheers.) At the last election for a Member to represent that county, they were aware that his excellent friend was defeated ; but he hoped to be able to state that on the next election he would be returned Member. In mentioning the name of this gentleman, it might naturally be expected that he should dilate on the merits of his honoured father, Sir James Gibson Craig— (Applause)—whose words have ever operated as a talisman for Reformers under Tory domination—who has been the rallying point, and refuge of the destitute, and shelter of the forlorn in former times, when the most strenuous advocates of liberty almost gave up every hope, and hung their heads like bulrushes. On such trying occasions, Sir James Gibson Craig never desponded ; he held it as a matter of absolute necessity that sooner or later the good sense of this nation would have its natural sway ; and he could not help think ing that the great success which has attended the cause of reform is not a little to be attributed to the indefatigable and unshaken perseverance of the Hon. Baronet. He did not mean to set aside the merits of his respected friend, which were of a higher order, but he had no hesitation in saying that his success had been much increased by those of his esteemed and respected father. Without further remarks, he begged to propose the health of Mr. Gibson Craig, with every success to him in his canvass. He could assure him that the news of his success would be bailed with unmixed joy and satisfaction, not only by the liberal constituency of the county of Roxburgh, but of the whole eountry. Mr. GIBSON CRAIG, in acknowledging the toast, said he was exceedingly embarrassed in returning thanks for the honour which had been done to him, and embarrassed in deed he was, and must feel, when he considered the number and respectability of those now present. He could not help asking himself why such a tribute of respect should he paid to him ; he was only aware of two reasons, one of which had already been given by his esteemed and honour able friend, Sir William Scott, namely, that he had his fa ther's character before him, which had introduced him to their notice. The next was that sympathy which they, as Reformers, must naturally feel for every one engaged in a struggle against the enemies of the liberty of his country. He could assure them that he never was more highly flat tered than when he received the invitation from the gen tlemen of the committee to attend this meeting. He had long been anxious to meet with the Reformers of Hawick, who bad established a. name all over Scotland for their firmness to the true cause of liberty. He was also most anxious to witness the tribute of respect, which they had met to pay to their excellent and noble guest, a man whom, from his earliest years, he had been taught most deeply to reverence.—(Cries of " Hear, bear," and cheers.) This tribute is not more honourable to him than to them, for he was certain, in all Scotland, they would not find one who, from his talents and political consistency, was more entitled to the respect, which be had this day received, than the Noble Earl.—(Loud applause.) He (Mr. Craig) stood in that unhappy situation of being a can didate for the county of Mid Lothian, and of being en gaged in a most painful contest ; but, whatever may be the result, he could assure them, that, in Mid Lothian, there existed as true a set of Reformers , as in any county in Scotland, and, if they were not swamped, by fictitious and unconstitutional VOWS, they must finally be successful.—(Loud cheers.) In all the districts of the county the Tories have, by every means in their power, endeavoured to keep u p their corrupt ascend alley. If the sentiments of the real electors were not overpowered, by such unconstitutional means, be had no hesitation in saying, that however unworthy the person may be who might present himself as a candidate for the representatio n of. the county, th ere cou ld b e no doubt of success. And even as it was, he did think that there was still sufficient spirit in the county of Mid-Lothian to resist a Tory candidate ; and he hoped' that the electors of this county would show them a good example in the same spbere.--(Applause.) These were 110 doubt, perilous times. They had seen the Reform Bill a lmost become a dead letter, in consequence of a party ruling the House of Commons by the influence of the Peerage, arid who now either set aside the decisions of that House, or attempt to nullify its proceedin g s by a vote of the House of Peers. Thi s is a position in which no House of Commons can go on. It is absurd in politics to have two Houses of Parliament, the one legislating on diff eren t prin ciples fro m th e ot h er ; hut the question is, how is this to be remedied ? There is only one obvious way, and it was in their hands. Strengthen the House of Commons and the Ministers of the Crown, by returnin g liberal and patriotic Members, and the House of Peers dare not oppose them. It was m e rely from the comparative weakne ss of the majo rity of the House of Commons, though they Clad not yet been overcome, that the House of Peers bad dared to use' the language which they have done. This cannot be longer tolerated.—(Cheers.) It appeared in some parts of the • country they had returned Members who propose a reform ) in the House of Lords, All he could say was, that he BRUSSELS. BRUSSELS, OCT. 21. —The Courrie r Beige, on the autho rity of a letter from Arlon, announces that the provincial Council of Luxemburg, at the close of the sitting of that day (the last of the Session), had adopted the following resolution :—" The Council, as the faithful organ of the sentiments of all the LuXemburghers, protests against the execution of every act tending to partition the territory of the province."

VIENNA, OCT. 2.—Princess Rosa, the youngest daughter of Prince Paul Esterhazy, has just been married to Count Cavriani. Her father has given her an annual income of 40,000 florins. Count Cavriani is one of the richest noble men in Austria. It has lately been reported in some Journals, that the treaty for fixing the boundaries between Silesia and Poland, had not been carried into effect. This, however, is by no means the case. Since December last year, the Prussian and Russian Commissioners have been constantly engaged THE GREAT AURORA BOREALIS. Most of the journals of the departments which have been received to-day in Paris speak of the aurora borealis referred to in our number of yesterday. It is astonishing that this phenomenon, which was seen simultaneously at notes, Strasburg, Troyes, Rennes, &c. was not observed in P a i:is.—Courrier Francais. A splendid aurora borealis appeared last evening about half-past S o'clock in Rennes, and spread for a moment some alarm in the city. The brightness from the clouds was such that it resembled a large fire breaking through the roof of an edifies?. Cries of " Fire " caused the guard to turn out, and the soldiers ran in the direction of the street Aux Foulons, and the square of St. Anne, to offer their services to extinguish the fire. The ponipiers were putting their engine in order, when it was discovered that the cause of the alarm was a magnificent aurora borealis, which illuminated the sky during several minutes.—Auxi liaire Breton. STRASBURG, OCT 19.—Last evening, between eight and nine o'clock, a rather extraordinary phnomenon caused a general uproar in our c,ty. A dazzling light suddenly spread over a large extent ef the sky, which soon appeared totally on fire. The alarm it, occasioned was very great, when it was discovered to be all aurora borealis. It was a beautiful sight ; two immense c olumns of light rose to a considerable height in the atmosoliere, in opposite di rections, like two columns of fire. The light was at first pale, but soon after the whole mass appeared to vibrate, and the light became by degrees more intense. The phe nomenon lasted nearly half an hour, so tat we had full time to contemplate the surprising spectacle.--C'ourrier du Bas Rhin. Mr. John Tait, editor of the Glasgow L.l6erator, and long known as the able and unflinching advocate of the trades in the west of Scotland, died of fever this morning, at six o'clock. Mr. Tait, from the prominent and liberal part he took in all the political and municipal topics of the day, was known all over Scotlandi. His loss will be severely felt by the numerous body with which he closely identified himself.—Glasgow chronicle. NEW TAX UPON NEWSPAPERS.—We see that a paragraph is going the round of the Tory papers, stating that " the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes, satisfied that their patrons, the Whig Ministry, in reducing the Newspaper Stamp Duty, have been fishing for popularity Only, without regard to the effect on the revenue, have de termined to make up the defic ienc y from any source within their power, and that an intimation has accordingly been given to the Liverpool papers, that the insertion of the corn-market reports in a second edition will suliect the newspapers which print such editions to the payment of double duty for every a dvertisement ;"•upon which we have authority to say, that the order alluded to from the Stamp office was issued in misconception, and that on the matter being stated in its true light by the proprietors of the Liver pool papers and their friends, the order was immediately re scinded, and the Liverpool and other papers allowed to print their second editions as usual, without any extra charge. It is a happy thing for a country when they have at the helm of public affairs states:nen who seek popularity by di minishing the burdens of the people. If the Tories, during Mr. Pitt's long administration, had sought popularity in the same way, we should not have had our present enormous load of national debt, nor taxes to the amount of nearly thirty millions a-year to pay the interest of that debt, which will always render Tory rule very dear to the country.—Leeds Mercury. The North Durham registration, at Durham and Wickham,' gives the following results :—Objected to by Liberals 2G, struck off 19.; by Tories 66, struck off 8 ; new, claims allowed, Liberals 23, Tories 7. The revision of voters in Sir Robert Peel's own bo rough of Tamworth has, according to the Stalbrd Exa miner, been this year decidedly in favour of the independent interest ; several Peelites having been struck off the list. The Reformers are prepared to carry the election of one . of their own party there on the nex t occasion ; they feel themselves sufficiently strong they ought to try for Beth seats. ALARMING FIRE AT RlCHMOND.—Yesterday, a little before twelve at noon, a fire, which threatened to be very destructive in its consequences, broke out in the work-- shops at the rear of the house in the occupation of Mr. • Pigott, upholsterer, George-street, Richmond. Upon the first intimation of its discovery, as it was a very crowded neighbourhood, the greatest alarm was excited, and messen gers were instantly despatched to the neighbouring parishes, as also to London, where, at the head station-house in Wat ling-street, information was received about one o'clock, in consequence of which an engine was from thence despatched, with Mr. Braidwood and several men of the brigade, who reached Richmond in about fifty minutes. Three other en gines of the establishment also left London, but by the time they reached the fire had been overcome. Engines ar rived from Sion House (the seat of the Duke of Northum berland, at Isleworth), and from Twickenham, Islaworth, Ealing,&c.;when, by the activity of the authoritie s of the town, and by the assistance of the townspeople and the labouring classes, aided by an abundant supply of water, the conflagration was fortunately checked, though not without doing - much damage to the back of the houses in King-street, as well as to the work-shops next door. Had the fire broken out at night the consequences might have been most disas trous. The cause of the fire has not been ascertained. The property is insured in the Pheenix office. The greatest praise is due to the exertions of the inhabitants of Richmond.
