THE .tiE 1' HISTORICAL ROMANCE. Now ready, at all the Lib rar i es , i n 3 vo l s., post Aro.. T E PALAIS ROYAL . AN HISTORICAL ROMANCE. By the Author of "HENRI QUATRE; OR, THE DAYS OF THE LEAGUE." Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Gres!. Marlborough-street. found in their writings of a more tyrannical, bigoted, crafty, and dangerous character, than was ever enter tained, or sought to be enforced, by that gloomy, despotic bigot, JAMES the SECOND. And these ob noxious tenets the Tractarians uphold, on the plea, forsooth, that they tend to the increasing and strength enimg of the religious spirit in England ! The hypo crites ! They may deceive others, but they are not themselves deceived. Right well they know that re ligion--in its more enlightened and elevated sense— has nothing at all to do with the question of their heresy, for in all their tracts—all their sermons—all their pamphlets and addresses, they keep but one ob they had had in the counsels and the measures of which the Chinese expedition was the fortunate com plement; and by some:observations on the true policy, as well as equity, of not exacting extreme terms from a languished enemy, which the moralist will advocate with enthusiastic earnestness, and the statesman may study with singular advantage. In our view of the case, it is the crowning felicity, as well as honour of Sir HENRY POTTINGER, practically to have exempli fied that moderation, the theory of which has found so eloquent and accomplished an exponent as Lord PALMERSTON.

Surely it is high time that the people should begin actually to bestir themselves against the in sidious encroachments of Tractarianism ! Delay serves only to disseminate the evil, and add to its virulence and power:— We regret to find from the Madrid journals of the sth instant that the accounts of the hurricane and earthquake at Cuba, which appeared in the papers some days since, are confirmed. Subscriptions are in progress at Madrid for the relief of the sufferers. The Quzmw had contributed 60,000 reals, the Qua lx- MOTHER 20,000, and each of the Ministers 1,000 reals. In the Chamber of Deputies the Finance Ali nister brought in a Bill for the maintenance of the clergy, and proposed a vote of 159,000,000 reals. The Gazette contains - a royal ordonnance, signed by General NAIXAEZ, depriving General CASTANRDA of his rank, titles, and decorations, as an accomplice of ZURBANO. " Principiis obsta sero medecina paratur, Cutn mala per longas convaluere moras." The Tractarians are an artful, intelligent, and, to a certain extent, influential body of zealots, whose efforts are exclusively directed to the supremacy of the priesthood, and bringing the people, as of yore, under the yoke of their uncontrolled, irresponsible dominion. They must, then, be boldly and promptly grappled with; and, if necessary, the QUEEN —as Head of the Church and Defender of the Faith— . THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPHI. Under the Direction of Madame CELESTE.

The French Opposition journals are constantly in veighing against certain writers of the London press Among the healthiest indications of a sound state who, they state, lose no opportunity of offending of public feeling, we look with profound interest on France, and thereby excite reprisals against this such manifestations as that w hi c h on %Vednesdey country.

They thus demonstrated as calculated only to overreach simple-minded French to the world that they fully appreciate the merits of men and trample on unoffending France. Indeed, this most successful diplomatist, and that, looking to the patience displayed was interpreted by some as the prospective results likely to ensue from the treaty symptoms of distrust in our own strength, in place of negotiated by him with so much ability, they can being regarded in its true character—a disregard, postpone to large ulterior views of public interest approaching to contempt, for all the bravadoes of the and national policy, their natural solicitude for the war party.

Bradney, who has officiated gratuitously for the last three years at the New Church, has just terminated his labours, to the great regret of his parishioners, by whom he is much be loved. • The Rev. Mr. Erle, who is appointed curate, a very young• man, has succeeded him, and in his first sermon after full ordination, carried out his now fully developed Christian sentiments by dealing damnation to all Dissenters. On the afternoon of the same day, the Rev. J. H. Bradney took; occasion to deprecate the tone and temper adopted by the curate in the morning, stating that he looked on all men as brethren, and on Dissenters, if good men, in quite as favourable a light as Churchmen. We hear that the Bishop sent for both sermons, and that, to the surprise of all well-thinking men, he intimated, through the vicar, to Mr. Bradney, that if he did not change his opinions as to Dissenters, he must leave the Church ! His farewell sermon was preached last Sunday, before a crowded audieece, who were much affected by the thoughts of losing their loved 'and respected pastor. The address made a deep impression, and will long be remembered by all who heard it. We are rejoiced to hear that Mr. Bradney, although he has ceased to officiate at the New Church, intends.to remain among us, and to act, as heretofore. in his magisterial capacity.—Frorp a Correspondent of i the Wiltshire Independent. .... 41, ...- • f <:.*T . ,, , .....L .

The Court of Common Council has had the good sense and spirit to express itself on the subject of Puseyism with a firmness and unanimity that cannot fail to damp the mistaken zeal of those London clergy men who support this dangerous heresy. In a re newed discussion respecting a grant of two hundred pounds in furtherance of the erection and endowment of a new free church in St. Giles's-in-the-Fields, Sir PETER LAURIE'S amendment, that the consideration of the question should be deferred for twelve months, was put and carried by an overwhelming majority, only five hands, out of a Court consisting of not less than a hundred and fifty members, being held up against it ! This is a check more effective than any that the Puseyites—Tractarians, perhaps, we should rather call them, seeing that they have shot far ahead of Dr. PUSEY, and look upon him as much too mode rate and conciliatory in his views—have yet sus tained ; and if the laity in our leading towns and cities will but follow the example of the Court of Common Council, we have little doubt that the Trac tarian heresy, despite the insidious, indirect encou ragement given it by Dr. PIIILLPOTTS, will be de prived of much of the influence which it now exer cises, and be reduced to its fitting level in public estimation. Already in the cathedral city of Exeter the right spirit is at work, and the inhabitants, under the very nose of their Bishop, are protesting in the most strenuous manner possible against the sugges tions contained in his late Pastoral Letter. Not less than three psrishes met last week, and on Monday, at a meeting of the parishioners of St. Mary Major, it was moved, among other equally significant resolu tions, that " the members now assembled of the church of St. Mary, Exeter, deeply regret the changes introduced into our service, by command of the Bishop, as being highly repugnant to our feelings, and 'which we apprehend will have . a tendency to irotroduce more important innovations calculated to create disunion and strife where peace and good-will abonld prevail, to impair the us?fulness of the Church and the cause of true religion ; in fact, we regard it as the beginning of measures which must tend to un- Protestantise the State, and consequently endanger the succession to the Crown of her M tJETY'S Strong as are the terms of the above resolution, they are not a bit too strong. The direct, though not yet avowed, tendency of Tractarianism, is unquestionably to " un-Protestantise the State," and, by so doing, to .endanger the succession to the Throne. No one can doubt this, who has read the mere recent productions of the abettors of the heresy, wherein they take every opportunity of sneering at the Reformation as a pub lic calamity to he deprecated, thereby shaking, or en deavouring to shake, the very foundations of the Pro. testant fabric. While they thus aim their blows, now openly, and now in secret, at one time from the pulpit, at another time through the medium of the Press, which absolutely groans beneath the weight and mul tiplicity of their tracts, sermons, addresses, pamphlets, poems, &e.—while, we repeat, the Tractarians thus aim their blows at the Reformed Faith, of which they still profess to be the chosen ministers, they are never weary of sounding the praises of the antago nist Church of Rome, and even holding up its idlest mummeries as things worthy of public veneration. All that Protestantism abjures, these zealots make a point of reverencing. They strive to enforce the in vocation of Saints, the adoption of the Mass, the worship of the Virgin, and—what is the most inju rious heresy of all—the practice of Auricular Con fession. As regards the Bible, they are indisposed to the great charter of eternal life \amid much rather that it and that the :community direct from the priesthood, obsequious deference to their private judgment they are and sentiments may be the dv• 7 — a „ --- h 7 : 7 ;" .

(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) BaussaLs, DEC. 10.—The average price of wheat last week was 17f. 04c., and that of rye 10f. 43c. The duties on importation and exportation remain as before. We learn from Vienna that Count de Woyna, who is appointed Envoy Extraordinary from the Emperor of Austria to the Court of Belgium, is to set out from Vienna for Brussels in the course of next week. The Chamber of Representatives, in its sitting to-day, received a project of. law, the purport of which is to grant to the department of Public Works a credit of 12,500,000 f. for, the construction of a double line to the railways, and of the buildings depending on the stations, for the construction of a section of the railway from Ghent to Tervuren and the entrepots, for the construc tion of a navigable canal to the Meuse, from Liege to Maestrecht, and of a navigable canal to open a commu nication from Turnhout to the canals of the Campine. The 2d article authorises the Government to accept the subscription of the English Company (Mackenzie and Co.), for the construction of the railway from Tourney to 'rurbise, and from St. 'Frond to Hasselt. The necessary funds for these several undertakings will be provided for by the issue of Treasury bonds. - We are able to state that the King and Queen will .quit the' Palace of Lacken on Thursday next (for his Majesty's seat ,at Ardenne, as has been reported) for 'Paris, in order to be united with the Royal Family of France, to receive the Duke and Duchesa d'Aumale. Their Majesties are expected at the Palace at the Tuile ries on Friday next. The voyages of the steamer between Antwerp and Flushing are stopped by the ice. The numerous suicides which have lately occurred in Prussia, in the prisons for debt, have drawn the atten tion of the Government to the serious question of im prisonment. It has the opinion of the most eminent lawyers. It is now under consideration whether impri sonment for debt shall not be wholly abolished, giving creditors some of the security. • BELGIAN FUND3.—Batment.s. Deft 12.

The meeting on Monday in the Commercial Rooms, respecting the railways westward, was attended by the most influential gentlemen engaged in commercial matters, in this town. There was only one opinion expressed regarding the necessity of supporting the in terests of the Company formed for the construction of the railway from Newry to Enniskillen, which was re garded by the meeting as an extension of the Ulster line from Belfast, which would pass through almost th e on l y manufacturing di s t r i c t s o f t h e west. The advantages of the line to the agricultural interests of the west were very pointedly stated. The improvements effected in the navigation of the two Loughs Erne, which now allow steam communica tion, in a direct line, for upwards of fifty statute miles, render the formation of a railway from Enniskillen—“the key of the t wo L oug h s—to Belfast and Newry, unques tt)irlaecbti y m t o h r e e twoiil i kely to best ports retso In n iin y thee east remunerativtoaste to shareholders and all other parties concerned, ',Lan any other Irish rail way speculation with wnich we are acquainted.

ANTI-PUSETISM IN THE -CITT.—A meeting of the electors of the Ward of Aldgate (preliminary to the annual civic elections) was holden on Wednesday; it was resolved that their representatives be instructed to op pose the grant of 200/. towards the endowment of Crip plegate new church, and to support Sir Peter Laurie's amendment to postpone the consideration of the sub ject for one year. The members of the ward voted with Sir Peter Laurie on Thursday, and in accordance with those instructions. BRIGHTON.

A precog• nition being taken by the examination of one of the principals, farther proceedings were delayed till the following day, when a special meeting of the Justice of Peace Court was held. It came out, on examination, that twenty-four persons had been engaged in the strike. An offer had been made by the masters that the men should retarn to their duty, which was refused; but on the three first examined being sentenced, two of them to fifty, and the other to forty days' imprisonment, the re• n3aming four of the seven succumbed, and promised to return to their labour, while the other three were imme liately dispatched to Ay r.—fler Observer. CAUTION.—On Thursday; in the immediate neigh bourhood of Chiswick; a boy named Bennett, aged 14, was killed by his cousin and brother, by te gun, while engaged in shooting small birds.

T William Cripps, Esq., M.P., preside d, and entered chairman, into very full details as to the progress and state of the Society's affairs. A report and balancersheet were then read, from which it appeared that the assets of the Company, on the 31st October , 1844, amou n t e d to 4t10,9 let, 15s. Id., and the liabilities (including the proprietors' paid-up capital) to 351.2691. 4s. ld., leaving a surplus of 79,6491. 14s. The report stated that a revaluation of the assets and liabilities would be made in 1845, when the directors had reason to believe it would be found, if the events of the intervening year were ordinarily favourable, that the surplus above stated was still further augmented, and that they would be, at the next general meeting, enabled to recommend the distribution. of a very satisfactory bonus. Thomas Devas, Nathaniel Gould, and Robert Alexander Gray, Esqs., were re-elected directors in lieu of the gentlemen retired by rotation ; and Thomas Bod dington, Esq., one of the auditors, was also elected to a vacant seat in the direction ; John Deedes, Esq., and John Wheelton, Esq., were chosen as auditors ; and the thanks of the proprietors having been unanimously voted to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated.— Morning Herald. PROCLAMATION OF OUTLAWRY.—On Thursday County court of the Sheriff of Middlesex was held at the Sheriffs' Court, Red Lion-square, when proclamation of outlaivry was made against John Robert Duncan, Frederick Hawkes,Charles John Attwood, Spalding, Aaron Jolly, Henry Brown, John Scott Lillie, Arthur Selby, Edward Benjamin Lake, James Tongue ; and the Court was then adjourned. THE Moons.--Yesterday closed the year for grouse, black game, and ptarmigan shooting. To such as pre ferred a walk on the frost-covered hills to fire-side comfort, a quiet stalk among the crowing old cocks would secure a few brace to lay on the Christmas table. For all varieties of Highland game, the ipast has been a most. productive season. From several of the homeward bound sportsmen, during last month, we gleaned the fol lowing notices of their success on the moors :—The Kinrara party numbered 800 brace of grouse, 300 head of other game, two roe-deer, and 40 salmon. The Foyers party had 500 brace of grouse, three red-deer, and three roe. At Abererder there was 1,403 head bagged. Mr. Johnson, at Gruids, 400 brace of grouse, three deer, and six salmon. Captain Inge and friends, at Lochcarron, had 750 brace of grouse, 100 brace of ptarmigan, eight deer, and 17 roe. Captain Inge had three times double shots at red-deer, killing and lefteach time. At right 40 brace black game, four stags, and a hind. Mr. Gonne and Mr. Beale, at Culrain, counted 600 brace of grouse, and 100 head of other game. At Coignafearn the birds have been much spared--only about 1,000 brace were shot—this being the last of a nineteen years' ,ease of that far-famed range, held by Lord Saltoun and Affirck Fraser, Esq. It was one of the first shootings let in the North, long before there was such a general dethand. Next year we hope again to see the familiar faces of our sporting friends from the sunny South, to whom we. have been often indebted for notices of their doings in the rivers, corries, and mountain glens of the -Highlands.— Inverness Courier of Wednesday.

The edit! Continued very intense at Paris. On the morning of Wednesday the thermemeter marked 19, the Sine was completely covered with floating ice, and in twenty-four hours would be frozen over. Sledges were seen in the streets, and the basins in the gardens of the Tuileries and the Luxemburg were covered with skaters. All the accounts received from the provinces concurred in describing the cold as most severe. " It is confidently stated," says the Constitutionnel, that M.
