The reason is, we apprehend, obvious. The possession of land in America, where it is abundant, was never, for them, accompanied by the advantages which did belong to the possession of land in Europe. We believe, however, that this passion is fast dying away amongst our money making classes, and a great number of rich men have latterly preferred the secure investment of the Government funds to being troubled with repairs, leases, and bad tenants. Nor can it for one moment admit of a doubt that a certain and inva riable income derived from the funds is, on many accounts, to be preferred to an income, about equal in amount, derived from land. It entails no trouble, is subject to no losses, and is equally secure. Never theless, though the sentiment is decaying, there is still amongst us, after the experience of more than a century, during which the State annuities have been regularly paid, fortunes have been made in trade and lost in estates, a lingering attachment to the possession of landed property, to which indi vidtruls frequently sacrifice many substantial advan tages. To trace this to its source will be a key to many ether such sentiments and prejudices, and may throw some light on our political opinions. .In the early ages land was the only means' of chaining a supply of food ; and our ancestors mi grated, or wandercd, to enlarge their hunting or pas r°teAroends, just like the Red men of the Americ an " 4 "eot. At that time the possession of land 'lles,„ esstatial t o su b s i s t ence . Th ere w a s no such 7 : .). 4. l': as livin g without it, and to acquire it was the ~. of general ambition. From this motive r chiefs led forth their followers, and the conquest equally of a field or a kin gdom was undertaken to ,0 tad to the means of subsisten ce , or the actual annual receipts of the invad ers We do not i ntend to e . the chang e to the present times in d eta il ; it will suffice for ou r purp ose to remark that the pr esent d esire to obtain land is one of the traditionary prejudices derived from that time and those circumstances, when the possession of land was the only means of living. Its influence is still felt, and still makes monied men buy land, when that possession is by no means necessary to procure a subsistence, nor even so advantageous as many other possessions. A great num b er of our desires and passions , like this for land, ared eti l v i e k c e l from 4i cu mstances which have passed away, and it, however just, rational, and unavoidable formerly, may now be denominated traditionary prßjudices. Such we hold to be the political prejudiceSagainst Popery, and in favour of the Church of England, are,gland to which the Tories continually appeal, which indeed, the foundations of their whole policy, but which, as we lately explained, on more than one occasion, and by a reference to several facts, are no more warranted by the actual circumstances of so ciety, th an t h e d es i re to possess l an d i s warran ted by the assertion that by land alone can any man ; p e t s In 'read.

GRATION ; being the Practical Experience of nearly Ten Years' Residnce in that Colony. By JOHN DIXON. Smith, Elder, and Co., 65, Cornhill. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5 1839 alchymists, as found their present policy on the cir- ' cumstances which justified the Liberals in the end of the seventeenth century, in making a sort of war against Popery. The present complaint of the Tories is that the Ministers favour Popery. Appealing to such prejudices, and to such traditionary feel ings as we have adverted to, which were jus tified by external circumstances, when they were formed a century and a half ago—when a concealed Catholic had sat on the throne, and was succeeded by an avowed Catholic, the Tories have rummaged up all the attacks which were made on our liber ties, and have re-quoted all the eloquent appea!s to freedom by which those attacks were repelled or stig matised as they deserved to be. That they go back wards for their arguments is pretty evident from the places where they are most successful. In corners :emote from intelligence they succeed best. Amongst the stationary Prebends of Canterbury, who are bribed by their daily stipends to hate Popery, they get vociferous applause. The retired, plod ding, and ignorant but honest yeomen, yield them a ready assent ; but all the efforts of hired writers and factious priests have failed to make any impression in the metropolis, in the seats of science, or in the great marts of the empire. It is not creditable for those who claim to be the leaders of the nation to found their power and influence on prejudices which every day are lessening, and which belong more to a past age than the present, and which in future can have no existence. While the Tories declaim against the Ministers, and institute comparisons between them and and JAMES 11., they forget to inform their readers that JA MES aimed at exercising a dispensing power while the Ministers only fairly carry into execution a law which the Tories themselves, for the public welfare, were compelled to pass. He forced Catho lics into the Universities, placed them in Churches, and gathered them in his Court, brow-beat the Mi nisters of Justice, and acted in defiance of the law ; the Ministers have only appointed one or two Ca tholics to offices which the law has expressly opened to them, and from which they have no more right to exclude them, because they are Catholics, than because they have black hair and are not six feet in height. They have forced no Catholics on the Universities, which, in fact, have an abundance in the Puseyites. They have placed no Catholic ministers in Churches, the Anglican Priesthood being forward enough to imitate in all evil the Ca tholic priests. The sum of the cffence of which the Ministers are accused is that they have not re fused to carry, as Sir ROBERT PEEL has done, his own Act into execution. But that, it appears, does not satisfy the Tories. He goes neither fast nor far enough for the mass of his followers, and Messrs. BRADSHAW, ROBY, ESCOTT, and other spouters at Tory festivals, as well as the Tory writers, repudiate both the man and his measure. They call on him to exercise a suspending power like that of JAMES 11., and to make the Emancipation Act a complete dead letter. The factious ranters and ravers, who call her MAJESTY the Queen of a faction, demand nothing less in fact than that an Act of Parliament shall be set aside by their authority. Their abuse of Ministers is founded on the pre sumption that they are right and the Act of Parliament wrong. Let them repeal the Emanci-, pation Act, let IVIr. BRADSHAW try his hand at a motion for leave to bring in a Bill for that pur pose, before the Tories condemn the Ministers for not suspending its operation. To declare that eight or nine millions of the people shall be excluded from the Constitution ; to force the Catholics to make common cause with the Chartists—to add to the disfranchised and discontented labourers, amounting to four-fifths of the population, the ousted Catholics—to compel Mr. O'CONNELL to unite with Mr. O ' CONNOR—to enlist in one joint attack on the Constitution the Catholic priesthood and the leaders of the Chartists, would involve the overthrow of the Monarchy and the dismember ment of the empire. To such a policy the cautious Sir R. PEEL can never accede, and the late exhi hibitions of his followers must have convinced him, acz they have convinced the country, that his hopes of ever governing the State by the aid of the No Popery cry and the profligate crusade of the par sons against the QUEEN, are completely visionary. The gulf which separates him, with the bulk of the Tories, from office, widens every day ; and un less Lord MELBOURNE build a bridge for him, and assist him to cross, while he turns his back on his present friends, and denounces the disloyal, rebel lious, dismembering, dissocial, destructive doctrines of his present followers, he will grow old and perish in opposition. According to the reports from the City money is again becoming tight there ; at the same time the dreaded 4th of November seems to have passed without any serious defalcation. Various rumours, indeed, appear to have disturbed the equanimity of the speculators and money-dealers, and the market came to a close heavily, but in peace. The pressure, which is again felt, has revived the inclination to discuss questions connected with the currency, and the silver standard seems to find favour with several writers. According to the Courrier Francais the Emperor of RUSSIA is preparing large armaments at Odessa and its neighbourhood, and he is said to be gathering and hoarding money to be ready for warlike operations. We take it for granted, on account of its possessing great value in small bulk, that he prefers gold to silver, and abstracts from commerce that metal only which, unfortunately for us, is exclusively the basis of our currency. That is a reason why we should employ silver. But besides his demand for gold, which is ex- elusive of the wants of commerce, we apprehend that our demand for corn, and the exportation of bullion to buy it, have increased the wants of com merce very much. We hear complaints from various parts of the Continent of a rise in price where no deficient harvest warrants any such rise. The farmers, landowners, and merchants on the Conti nent who have obtained money by selling us corn do not let it lie idle. In the hands of some it be comes the germ of enlarged undertakings—in the hands of others, of a mere increase of expenditure; but in all it causes an extension of demand, an in- crease of business, and a general rise of prices, re quiring more money to circulate commodities. Money in this sense begets a want of money. In this way our Corn-laws inflict a double injury on the country. By compelling us to send bullion to buy corn, instead of buying it with our hardware and cloths, they derange our currency and increase the business of other countries, without causing any corresponding in crease of business at home. They abstract bullion permanently from England,promote industry abroad, and benefit the foreigner at our expense. We see that this demand for bullion has lately led to the exportation of considerable quantities of silver, which, by the returns published in The Sun of Thursday last, exceeded that of gold in the pro portion of fourteen to one in value. We may be sure, however, because of the greater expense of the exportation, that the silver is not preferred till its value has sunk in ourmarkets and risen in the markets of the Continent in relation to gold. Some time back we noticed the extensive importation of silver, and then remarked that it would be of little use to us, because it is not employed here as money, but or4y as change or counters. Our observation is verified, and by refusing to use silver for money we give the foreigner another advantage. Our stupid law deprives silver of a part of its inherent natural utility or value—makes it less useful or valuable here than where it is employed as money, and thus gives, as it were, a bounty on its exportation. Now, making silver a concurrent standard with gold would redress this inequality, and would keep silver in the country. At present our gold is taken from us on account of the convenience of transport, and to balance our trade ; and silver is taken from us be cause the l aw d epr i ves i t o f a part o f i ts u tility an d value. W e a dd t h ese considerations to t h ose w hi c h which recommending NHOP E, we bor rowe d a f ew d ays ago f rom E ar l STA standard, o. which have deservedly m et with a gre s a il t ve a r ttent n V .Ve have given, in another part of our paper, a ,ew extracts from the November Number of the Church Magazine, to which we would call the attention of the Wesleyan Methodists. It will be seen that this worthy organ of a persecuting Church I has followed up its last month's scurrilous and malignant attack upon that sect ) by a Seetlild out pouring of clerical rancour, fully equal to the first, Since our last exposure of the deadly feelings of hatred and hostility entertained by the Church towards the Wesleyan Methodists, an attempt has been made to undervalue the authority of the Church Mazagine. It has been asserted by the Standard, which cannot see the policy of offending the Methodists, who may be made useful instru ments in forwarding the views of the Church on such questions as the monopoly of education, that it cannot be considered as an organ of the Church of England, and that it does not speak the senti ments of the Church. The Editor of the Maga zine has taken good care in the present Number that there shall be no mistake on this point, for he has corroborated his own opinions, and those of his patrons, by the high sanction of an Arch bishop of his Church, from whose writings against the Methodists he has made copious quo tations, conceived in a spirit much akin to his---awn. He has also published a list of some of his pa trons and contributors, which we have taken the liberty to transfer to our columns. It contains the names of upwards of forty divines of the Church of England, among whom, we are sorry to find Mr. KEMP, domestic Chaplain to the Duke of CAM-. BRIDGE. There are other Chaplains in the list who ought not to have been there; and although JOSHUA KING, the spitfire parson of Bethnal-green, and the Rev. C. CATOR, Chaplain to the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR of London, figure with great propriety and all consistency, in this muster roll of bigots and calumniators of their fellow Christians, it may be a question worthy of consideration by the Rev. R. C. DILLON, D.D., whether he is likely to add to his popularity in Clerkenwell, what ever he may do at Pimlico, by figuring beside them. There are, however, other patrons behind the curtain, whom it does not suit to appear in public. GATHERCOLE, the Editor of the Magazine, has been highly patronised before now, for his useful exertions in support of the Church. CHARLES JAMES knows how to select his tools, and also how to handle them without injuring himself. It is for the Wesleyans to decide what claim a Church thinking of them, and acting towards them as the Church of England does, has upon their services. Of this they may rest assured, that in co-operating with her in her schemes, all of which tend to her exclusive aggrandizement, they are only enabling her, if those schemes succeed, to give greater effect to her innate and unchangeable spirit of intolerance. The accounts from Newport will be read with painful interest. The communication from our Cor respondent, and the details taken from the Morning Papers, all agree in the important fact, that the Chartists, in great numbers, and to a certain ex tent armed, were the aggressors, and that the Ma gistrates had recourse to the military to repel the attack. Though the Mayor and some of the citi zens were wounded, it does not appear that any of the shots from the misguided men were fatal, and if the numbers w•ete such as represented, we can only come to the conclu3ion that they were ill armed, and commenced the assault like mad men, without anything like order or plan. It is not surprising that such a melancholy catastrophe has been the result, when the ha- . bits of the colliers and miners in that neighbour hood are taken into account ; and a fearful respon sibility, therefore, must rest on the heads of those who urged on those excitable and lawless persons to their certain destruction. It would appear that after ail idea of physical force had been given up by the Chartists in England, recourse was had to Wales, and the passions of the people, and particu larly of the rude population of the mining districts about Newport, were worked on till they have committed themselves in this fearful way against the laws of their country. We have ever advised them to work out Reform only by lawful and con stitutional means, and warned them that if they attempted any other they would not only be speedily crushed, but their fall would retard the pro gress of Reform and set all the higher and middle classes in dire hostility against their Charter. These madmen in Wales are verifying the prediction. They are rendering the term Chartist odious to the public ear, and they are not only casting a stigma and bringing ruin on themselves, but they are to a certain extent involving in their guilt countless thousands of innocent men who profess the same political principles but abjure all ideas of physical force or rebellion. If Mr. FROST, the ex-Magistrate, led them on, we can only regard him as a madman, and a more fit subject for a lunatic asylum than a prison. John Thoro•ood has been confined in the common gaol of Chelmsford since the 16th of January last, for not paying a Church-rate of five shillings and sixpence. What a train of reflections does this simple fact call up? That a Christian man:should have been punished for so long a period with the loss of his liberty, in the mind of an Englishman", the most precious of blessings, because, in obedience to the voice of GOD in his heart, he would not subject himself to the guilt of supporting a system of worship for which he can find no warrant in the holy Scriptures, is surely enough to make men ask whether they really live in a land of religious liberty, or are the priest-ridden slaves of a domi nant sect. Would any one who hears the loud boastings which Englishmen are everywhere so fond of making about that freedom of all sorts, but especially that freedom of conscience which they enjoy,, believe it possible, unless he saw it with his eyes, that the laws of England leave a Dissenter from the State re ligion no alternative between a violation of his con scientious convictions and perpetual imprisonment,? This, however, is the truth—the lamentable, the humiliating, the degrading truth—and the case of JOHN THOROGOOD proclaims it trumpet-tongued. But what shall be said of the rulers of that Church calling itself Christian, who can resort to such inhuman proceedings against a fellow- Christian—who can rake up from the dust of ages the laws of barbarous times, and re-animate their slumbering energies with the spirit of persecution? Are these men ministers of the Gospel of Peace—. of that Gospel which breathes nothing but brotherly kindness and charity to all men, or are they not rather the ravening wolves, who, it was foretold, were to come in sheep's clothing and steal into the fold ? Shame upon their proceedings I They would disgrace heathens. No priests of Paganism ever displayed more sacerdotal insolence, greater intolerance, or more grovelling wordly mindedness, than do the ministers of the humblest, the most long-suffering, and the most purely spiri tual religion that ever visited the earth I Deep, however, as is the disgrace which the im prisonment of this poor and honest Dissenter, and other acts of a similar kind, reflect upon the eccle siastical establishment of the country, we can not acquit of great blame the influential body to which the sufferer belongs. Let it be remembered that this undaunted champion of the rights of conscience, has sacrificed everything to that great principle which the Dissenters profess to hold in the highest reverence, and which has been their rallying cry for nearly two centuries. Among many lukewarm he has been found zealous, among many faithless he has been found faithful. Rather than bow the knee to BAAL—rather than let go his religious integrity—he has exchanged home, with its nameless comforts and blessings, for the gloom and solitude of a 'dungeon , embittered not only by those hardships and privations which priestly persecutio n knows so well how to inflict upon its unhappy victims, but by that which is still more difficult to bear—the thought that his ' family were left without those means of subsistence which his labour alone had provided for them, and without that sympathy from others to which they had so just a claim. How the Dissenters can answe r to themselves and to the world for their marked neglect of a matt who has suffered• so much in their - cause, and by that suffering done so much to rititantt iti *8 rite utterly at a loss to conceive. We have a Church rate Abolition Society, a Religious Liberty Pro tecting Society, and others, we believe, with the same or similar objects. What have they done for this deeply injured and most meritorious man Have they ministered to his necessities ? Have they " visited him when in prison ?" Have they done any thing at all for him ? We fear the an swer must be in the negative. They have left him to the tender mercies of his persecutors. Even if he had been a person of questionable character, this indifference would have been blame able, if not inexcusable, for persecution would hava entitled him to the good offices of all who wish well to religious liberty. But JOHN THOROGOOD has always borne an irreproachable character. We have before us letters from persons whom we know, and on whose authority we place the most perfect reliance, which speak of him in very high terms. One gentleman, a highly respected member of the Society of Friends, living in the immediate vicinity of Chelmsford, states that " for several years before his imprisonment, he had carried on his business as a shoemaker at Chelmsford, with a good character as a tradesman, and, for his circumstances, which are limited, has been quite an example to his richer neighbours." We have been told that many Disssenters have kept back, in the expectation that some of the Societies to which we have alluded, and which are supported by Dissentin g f un d s, would have taken up the case of THOROGOOD. Finding this expecta tion vain, it has now, we are happy to find, been determined to open a public subscription, with a view, in the first place, to " encourage him"--we use the appropriate words of one of the promoters of the undertaking, whose name were we at liberty to disclose it, would make the Tories stand aghast in his present state of hopeless incarceration, and to show the Church party that he is not with out friends under the severe privations, occasioned by their persecution ;" and secondly to save his affairs from total ruin. In our advertising columns will be found a list of subscribers, among whom ' we see, with much pleasure, Lord PETRE and R. B. SANDERSON, Esq., nephew and Secretary to the late Lord ELDON. We trust the result of the subscription will be such as, while it secures the objects intended, will show to the world that the Dissenting body kr,ow how to appreciate a noble stand in the cause of re ligious liberty. There is no news of any political interest in the Paris Journals of Sunday. The National affect s to think that the presence of Don CARLOS in France, who is daily receiving the homage of th e priesthood, may prove dangerous to the Throne of King Louis PHILIPPE ; and recommends that passports be given him for Austria or Italy, where he would soon be forgotten like his quondom associate in rebellion Don MIGUEL. Had the National the remotest idea that the pre sence of the Pretender in France would prove fatal to the Orleans dynasty, it would be the first to ex claim against any attempt to remove him. Much as it hates despotism, it abhors Louis PHILIPPE and the English alliance still more. But the truth is, that the National feels a conviction that the re lease of CARLOS would lead to a coolness which might end in an open rupture, between the Cabinets of Paris and London, and therefore it is that it feigns, such a loyal dread of the continuance of the Pretender at Bourges, where. he is in reality no more dangerous to Louis PHILIPPE, than if his ashes reposed in the vaults of the Escurial. The National has some very just remarks on the excessive cruelty with which political delinquents are punished in France, particularly in the dungeons of Doullens and Mont St. Michael. These re marks are followed by a statement addressed to the editor by one of the sufferers, in which the horrible treatment of the condemned is very feelingly de scribed, and its effects upon their minds strikingly elucidated. By this iniquitous system of punish ments the Government contrives to invest every paltry malcontent with the attributes of a martyr. On the 20th ult. the young Duke of BORDEAUX arrived at Rome where he was to remain for two days, and then proceed to Naples to join the Duchess of BERRY and the Spanish Infante Don SEBASTIAN and his wife. Were CARLOS to get loose there would be quite a gathering of Pre tenders and Absolutists in Italy this winter. Bankruptcies among retail traders to the amount of 6,000,000 of francs (240,000/. sterling) took place in France in the course of last month. The number of bankrupts is three hundred. The latest accounts from Madrid are of the 28th ult., but they are, if possible, still less interesting than the intelligence communicated by the Paris Journals. The only news from Catalonia will be found among subjoined extracts from the Journals. We have news from Morella, dated the 17th of October. The preparations made by Cabrera for the defence of the place are formidable. They are spoken of with astonishment at Madrid, and on the Spanish frontiers very few people think that Espartero will risk a serious attack before the return of fine weather ; how ever, he is advancing. The last accounts from Sara gossa, say that the first division of his army had arrived at Monroys, a town about four leagues from Morella. The letters say, that the cold was already severe in that part of Spain. El Castallano, a Madrid Journal, publishes a letter addressed to it from Vinaroz, dated the 13th. ,It an nounces that a Colonel and his officers had just arrived at Cabrera's head-quarters. They were commissioned to offer him from the Count d'Espagne, a reinforcement of 12,000 men, and 1,000 horses, if he thought that he needed them to oppose the numerous forces that are marching against him. —Gazette de France, Nov. 3. PAIIIS, Nov. 3.—The Senlinelle des Pyrenees of the 31st has the following letter :—" Saragossa, Oct. 28. Cabrera, reduced to despair by the disproportion of the forces against which he has to contend pursues his system of vengeance and cruelty. He causes the most absurd reports to be circulated in his army, in order to keep up the spirits of the soldiers. He has chosen 500 horse, who are placed under the command of Balmaseda, with orders strictly to watch the move ments of the head-quarters of Espartero. " All the Carlist battalions have received new stand ards. After having bad them consecrated, Cabrera made his troops swear to defend them to the utmost. " Notwithstanding all this there is no doubt that Ca brera will be vanquished, unless the snow and rain should oblige our army to suspend its operations.

According to the Brussels correspondence of the Com merce, the nine Russian officers implicated in the con spiracy in General Geismar's corps had been arrested at Luxemburg by the Prussian authorities, and, after being in prison ten days, were sent under escort to Ber lin, but at four leagues from Nlaestricht were set free by thu population, and they then took refuge at Sedan, in France, but were sent by the authorities again into Belgium, where they now arc, the , French L egat i on re iiisiog to v i se t h e i r passports for Irance, and the Bel gian authorities equally refusing to give them passports for England.

CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY,) 74isibAY e. The Lei nil CP;r4c.Ei.i.ork: gave j:ucfg/tiorrt to-day in this case, which cane fiefore his Lordship upon ',weal from the decision of his lion6tfr the Vice-Chancellor. The bill was filed by the plaintiff; tiho *as a tenant of the defendant, Colonel Jolliffe, who, somelittie since, represented the Borough of Petersfield in Parli arrietit i for the purpose of dbittinitiK the decree of the Court for the specific performance of an tigr@ectient for a lease. On the case coming on before the Vice-Chontellor his Honour dismissed the bill, on the ground that there was no evidence of an agreement for a lease, and that even if there was, the course pursued by the plain tiff with respect to the cultivation of the land had ren dered it void. His Lordship, after carefully considering the case, was satisfied that an agreement for a lease had been proved, and that the defence set up had wholly failed. Such being his opinion, the decision of the Vice-Chancellor must be reversed, a decree made for a specific performance, or reference must take place to the Master to settle a lease, and the defendant must pay the costs of the suit. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (THIS DAY.) Unopposed petitions, of no interest except to the parties concerned, occupied his Honour the greater part of the morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) CRIMINAL INFORMATION.-THE QUEEN V. THE FRO- FRIETORS OF THE MANCHESTER CHRONICLE AND SALFORD STANDARD. Mr. THESIGER said he had been instructed -to apply to the Court for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against the printers, pub lishers, and proprietors of the Manchester Chronicle and Salford Standard newspaper, and also against the editor of that paper, for a libel upon Sir Charles Shaw, Chief Commissioner of Police for the boroughs of Man chester and Salford, and a Justice of Peace for the borough. He would read for the Court the articles of which Sir C. Shaw complained, and then he would call their Lordship's attention to the affidavits which ex plained the matters therein alluded to. The first article appeared on the 14th September, only eleven days after the appointment of Sir C. Shaw. The article com menced by stating that Sir C. Shaw, Knight of the Tower and Sword, ex-Colonel in the service of Don Pedro, and plaintiff, in an action for an assault, when he had been unmercifully horsewhipped by a Mr. Haw kins, had inserted in the Guardian a memoir evidently drawn up by himself, for the purpose of prepos sessing the inhabitants of the borough in his favour. It then went on to state that he had never attained a higher rank in the British service than that of Ensign —that finding no prospect of success in the service, lie quitted it, and became a wine merchant at Leith—that in consequence of a squabble from a charge of foul play at cards, he had been obliged to quit Edinburgh and join the Isle of Dogians, where he found a more congenial atmosphere—that he had had various disputes and quarrels with his associates, and they had some re collection of his having submitted to personal indignities —that Lord Palmerston had offered a gross insult to his Sovereign in permitting Colonel Shaw to sport a title which he had acquired as being the unscrupulous advocate of anarchy and revolution—that an opinion existed that Colonel Shaw was in some degree con nected with the gallant officer (Colonel Shaw Kennedy), who had formerly held a similar situation ; but there was no connection between them, and they would, under other circumst ances , bl us h t o assoc i a t e th e lurking Pe droite in the same page with that gallant officer. On the 31st September another article appeared in the same strain, stating that he had joined the Spanish Auxiliary Legion, but that his commander (Colonel Evans) had contrived to get rid of him, and that he seemed to have served in turn every job-master of free companions in Europe—that they regarded his appoint ment to the office of Chief Commissioner of Police, as a wanton and gratuitous insult to the town, and a de fiance of public opinion. The article concluded by stating that Col. Shaw had compiled two bulky octavos, and had attested his own firmness in the endurance of flagellation. Now Sir Charles Shaw, in his affidavit, most positively denied that he had inserted any article in the Guardian or any other newspaper. He admitted that he had never attained a higher rank in the British service than lieutenant, but he was then a young man only twenty years old, and had retired on half-pay. That he then became engaged in a most respectable concern with a wine merchant at Leith, bringing a large amount of capital to the concern, and carried on the business till 1829, when he sold his share for 1,0001. Now it was attributed to him that he had been compelled to quit the wine trade from an unlucky game of cards, clearly imputing to him unfair play. The explanation on the contrary reflected the highest credit upon Sir C. Shaw. He became unfortunately acquainted, in Edinburgh, with a person whose name it would be unnecessary to mention, and who induced him, for the first time in his life, to play. He lost to this person the sum of 3001., and, having been subsequently informed that there was foul play, he taxed the person with it, threatening an exposure, and induced him, under that threat, to refund the money, which, instead of putting it into his pocket, he gave as a donation to the Royal Infirmary of' Edin burgh. Some friends of that person afterwards had a meeting, and Sir C. Shaw attended, and satisfactorily explained the part he had taken, and received the thanks of the inhabitants of Edinburgh for his conduct. The same person subsequently brought an action against Col. Shaw, and there was a verdict for the defendant. How was it possible, therefore, to say that there was anything in that transaction reflecting upon the charac ter of Colonel Shaw. In 1831 he joined the army which assisted Don Pedro in Portugal, where he rose to the rank of Colonel, taking part in all the most me morable actions, being highly distinguished, severely wounded, and receiving the thanks of his commanding officer, and the Government ; and also the distinction of the Knight of the Tower and Sword. In 1835, after the termination of the war, Colonel Shaw was residing at Lisbon, where he came into collision with several of his countrymen, whom he had been obliged to dis charge for various instances of misconduct. There were charges brought against him, and threats of violence, and the result was, that on one occ a s i o n, which Colonel Shaw now regretted, he was induced to give one person a hostile meeting. The mode in which Colonel Shaw acted towards those individuals, induced his officers to oiler him one of the highest compliments upon his courage, and lie thought it due to his character to embody that in his affidavit. Colonel Shaw returned to England in 1835, and found himself appointed to a brigade in the Spanish service. While there he re ceived thanks, rewards, and honours, and retired when others left the service. During the time Colonel Shaw was in Portugal, he had been compelled to bring a Mr. Hawkins, whose name was introduced - in the article, to a:court-martial for cowardice. Colonel Shaw was a witness on that occasion, and Hawkins conceiving himself injured by his testimony, chose to commit an as sault upon him on the pier of Ramsgate, being assisted by a Mr. Frazer. Colonel Shaw exhibited on that occasion great forbearanc e , an d h a d t h e courage, which the ar ticle termed cowardice, to appeal to the law for redress, and the result was t h at M essrs. Hawkins and Frazer received the sentence of the Court for that assault. Under these circumstances Sir C. Shaw came b e f ore their Lordships for protection, which he trusted would be extended to him. He had also the affidavit of a highly respectable per son , th a t hi s c h aracter h a d b een seriously injured in the neighbourhood by the state ments in these articles, and that his sphere of useful ness was likely to be diminished if they were not re futed. An application had been made to the proprie tors of the paper, who had stated that they were re sponsible, and subsequently a letter had been received from a Mr. Dyer, representing himself as the Editor, and expressing himself ready to give any satisfaction, information, or explanation, which was not inconsistent with the cause of truth, or the honour of the journal he conducted. The object of that letter was evidently to induce Colonel Shaw to demand a hostile meeting. Lord DENMAN—His name has been introduced in order to make him a defendant ? Mr. THESIGER—Yes, my Lord ; he avows himself the author. Lord DENMAN—Take a Rule. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice LITTLE DALE.) THE QUEEN V. TIIE JUSTICES OF LANCASHIRE. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a writ of certiorari should not be quashed under these circumstances :—By the 13th Geo. 3. c. 81, s. 44, authority is given to appoint four Overseers for Manchester, and the 47th section gives power of appeal against anything done under the Act. The appoint ment of four Overseers took place under the Act, and there was an appeal against it to the Quarter Sessions, when the appointment was quashed. Application was made to the Quarter Sessions for Lancaster for a case, and the Court agreed to grant one if there could be a certiorari. On the 24th of September a writ was mowed for before Mr. Baron Maulc and granted, the Act of Parliament most probably not having been brought before his Lordship, for the 49th section clearly took away the certiorari. His LORDSHIP granted a rule nisi. TIIF. GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAY COMPANY V. BEN- SUSANS. Mr. SwaNN applied to his Lordship in this case to set aside a demurrer under a rule of Court. The de fendant had pleaded several pleas, and the demurrer was to the replication to one of those pleas. An action was brought by the Company against the defendant to recover a sum of money due from him for calls on shares of which he was . the proprietor. One of the sections of the Act enabling the Company to declare that the defendant was indebted in respect to the shares by being a proprietor at the time the call was made. The defendant pleaded that he never was indebted, that he was nct a proprietor, and thirdly, on which the present questiou arose, that notice of the call was not given by advertisement in two or more of the London new:Tapers, as required by the Act. The re plication stated that notice had been given in two of the London newspapers, and the demurrer was that the replicatio ne did not ment i on t h e names o f th e newspapers. This he (Mr. S.) submitted was not at all necessary. His LORDSHIP did not object to granting a rule to show cause, but was not quite clear that it would be successful. Hit LORDSHIP then sat at Nisi PIiUS. BECK V. LAW. This was an action - broughti; 3 l the plaintiff against Mr. Richard Law, the manager of the " Imperial Bank of England," at Manchester, to recover the amount of three bills indorsed by the defendant, and Mr. Whit tsobury, the cashier to the bank. The bills were for 5731. 10s., 167/. 31., and 651. 15s. Mr. BUSBY appeared for the plaintiff. The action was undefended. After the examination of three or four witnesses, the Jury returned a verdict for the amount claimed. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (THIS DAY.) BANKRUPTCY OF JOHN HAMSON CURTIS. The bankrupt is the celebrated aurist residing in Soho-square. It appears that for some time past he has been engaged in bill transactions to a large amount. This being the first meeting under the fiat, the business was confined to the proving of debts and the choice of assignees. Debts were proved to a consider able amount. THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.) HUNGERFORD MARKET. The supplies at market, excepting Fish, were very good, and the demand to a fair extent. Turbot, 6s. to 40s. ; Cod, ss. to 20s. ; Soles, Is. to 4s. per pair ; Lobsters, I Od. to 3s. 6d. Beef, 7d. to Sid.; Mutton, 7d. to Bid. ; Veal, Bd. to 9d. ; Pork, 7d. to dd. Vegetables in fair supply and demand : prices as before. BILLINGSGATE MARKET. There were very short supplies of most kinds, and prices were high. Turbot, 103, to 405.; Cod, 2s. 6d. to 20s. ; Salmon very scarce and dear ; Lobsters, 10d. to 3s. 6d. ; Oysters, 12s. to 40s. per bushel ; Soles, led. to 41. per pair ; Whitings, 6d. to Is. ; and Haddocks, Is. to 2s. 6d. HAY MARKETS. There was but a moderate supply, and the demand was by no means pressing, but prices have not given way to any extent. Hay, 50s. to 05s. ; Clover, 80s. to 1155. ; Straw, 325. to 425. per load. TEA SALE, SECOND DAY. The attendance of the trade was good, but the present high prices necessarily limit purchases. Not above one-third of that put up sold. Prices are 1 1 /d. per lb. higher on an average than those of the Octdber Sale, but not higher than the pr.- vious market prices. There was a great deal of what is called " scratching."

MONEY ANDCOMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK._ LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MONDAY.—The de mand for Cotton to-day has been to a fair extent. The sales 4,000 bags, at, in some instances, an advance on American descriptions of -id. per lb. The statement put forth yesterday, in some of the Morning Journals, that the Bank Directors were going to borrow money or make loans at 6 per cent., does not appear to be correct. The report originated from the following circumstance :—The Bank having discounted last week bills to a large amount for a first-rate money broker, who, after a day or two, found that he had more cash by him than he required for the present, re turned to the Bank Directors, and proposed to discount part of the bills that he previously discounted with the Bank, which was accomplished at a low rate of interest. The above transaction, which caused during yesterday some excitement in the City among the monied interest, begins to disappear. We are again disappointed this morning in the arri val of the Liverpool steamer from New York, so anxiously looked for by the merchants, whose inquiries were numerous at the North and South Americas Coffee-house, fully expecting she was at Liverpool ; but, according to the letters received from the above city, she has not even made her appearance as yet. The day for the payment of the numerous Commer cial bills having passed, as yet we have not heard of any failures, and money, which was very scarce during yesterday, in consequence of the great amount required for the payment of the above bills, may be expected to become more plentiful in the course of a few days. The intelligence of the riots at Newport has not had any effect on the Funds as yet ; a proof that it is not thought of any serious nature, and that they cannot stand against the military.

DEATH OF ADMIRAL SIR HENRY TICOLLOPE,G.C.I3. —We regret to learn that this gallant officer terminated his existence on Saturday evening about 8 o'clock P.m., by shooting himself, in a moment of temporary derange. ment. The melancholy event took place at Freshfield, near Bath, where he had been residing for some time. He had for the last forty years been subject to the gout, which latterly affected his head, and was no doubt the cause of his committing the rash act. His friends had taken every precaution against such an attempt, by re moving his fire-arms, but unfortunately without effect, as he succeeded in committing the deed by applying a powder-flask ignited to his head which was blown to atoms. He died in the 84th year of his age. On Monday the 4th inst., a General Assembly of the Academicians, was held at their appartments io Trafalgar-square, when Philp Hardwick, Esq. was duly elected an Associate of the Royal Academy of Arts. At the same meeting, Charles Robert Cockerel!, Esq., R.A., was duly elected Professor of Architecture of that Institution, in the room of William Wilkins, Esq., R. A., dec!ased. THE LATE DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT PIM LICO.—DISCOVERY OF ANOTHER BODY.—This morn ing the workmen engaged in digging the ruins dis covered the remains of another sufferer—not yet identified. It is, however, considered to be the body of the youth William Odell, who has been missing from his mother's house since the day on which the dreadful calamity occurred, and who left home for the purpose of assisting Stcinkopff, alias Harding, in the manufacture of fire-works. It is considered that there arc other sufferers, whose bodies have not as yet been discovered. Darrynane Abbey, the seat of Mr. O'Connell, has been very gay during the autumn months, lots of company, and private theatricals also. One of the latest performances was Sheridan's admired comedy of the Rivals, which went off with great eclat. She , Stoops to Cou?ner is in rehearsal.—Limerick Chronicle. MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.— This morning, shortly before eleven o'clock, the follow ing dreadful and fatal accident occurred near the Man sion House to Mr. Ripple, a master plumber, living Et Hackney, at the above hour. A very spirited horse in one of " Hanson's" patent safety cabs took fright, and started off at a frightful pace towards Cheapside, and at length got on the pavement ; the unfortunate man stood in the gateway of the King's Arms Tavern for safety, when, melancholy to relate, he was so violently crushed by the horse against one of the door-posts as to instantly deprive him of life. An inquest will be held this after noon on the body before Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, at the above tavern. EVENING EDITION. ALARMING AND FATAL RIOT. FOURTEEN CHARTISTS KILLED AND S.E VERAL WOUNDED. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) NEWPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE, NOT. 4. With the most intense grief I have to announce that the delusion of Chartism has led to a lan rent able tragedy in this town. Reports yesterday reached the Mayor, T. I?hil lips, jun.,) and the authorities, that the Chia'lists employed at the works about Tredegar, ,and other establishments on the hills, were arming, and would march upon Newport. Every precaution which could be adopted in the interim was ti ken by the Mayor. At at an early hour this morning hundreds of colliers and other mining workmen, were seen approaching the town, numbers, armed with pikes, some with guns and pistols, and' the great body with heavy bludgeons ; at about ,nine o'clock in the morning an immense body of these infatuated and unfortunate wretches assembled me nacingly before the Westgate Hotel, where the Mayor and Magistrates were assembled. They soon commenced an attack upon the premises, breaking the windows, and firing at the soldiers, a detachment of the 45th. The Riot Act was , im mediately read by the Mayor, and the soldiers were ordered to fire, but not until several of the •C her tists had broken into the hotel. The work of death then begun ; fourteen Chartists were killed on the spot, and several wounded ; and I lament to in form you that the Mayor, whose coolnesS and bravery are above praise, was severely woundedin the arm, Mr. Blewitt, M.P., and the other Ma gistrates, distinguished themselves by their Ca" tress and efforts to avert the calamity. W e are in a state of siege. (From the Times.) NEWPORT, MONDAY, 11 O'CLOCK , P.m' The Chartists have almost entire possession of the town. There are 7,000 or 8,000, who marche d in from the hills, and attacked the Westgate Inn , where the Magistrates are sitting. I have hearhd 30 or 40 shots fired, and learn that several of. te Chartists as well as soldiers are killed. What the end will be God only knows ; they are firing 00° _," I write by post, but fearing the mail maybe stop ec " I send this in addition. NEWPORT, 1 O'CLOCK, P.M' I was mistaken in saying that any soldiers 8r e killed. There is one (Sergeant Daly) wounde d with some slugs in the forehead, but not dan gerously. Of the special constables, there are only two wounded, viz., Mr. H. Williams, iron.: monger; a shot had penetrated the foreheade and passing obliquely under the scalp, rar n out at the side of the head, vvithout injOrtri the bone. Fe is also cut upon the knee, a." stabbed in the side. A Mr. Morgan' al also wounded by a ball, but I hope notdangernuall• Of the Chartists, nine lie dead in the yard of . the Westgate Inn, besides several others, whom I _ .d ra per, i s myself seen, whose worind3 will prove mortal. Th e all 45th Regiment put the Chartists to ght in t h_ r?, w directions ; they were so discomfited as to away many of their weapons, between 200 and 54,. 0 of which, consisting of pikes, muskets, piSto,lb, &c., have been picked ups They were head b i , Y e John Frost, who, I regret, is not y e t taken. Mayor, Mr. T. Phillips, jun., is shot through the arm and wounded in the thigh, but I ho p e not da.l'ir t gerously. I fear that to-night they will come Tel he forced, and that it will be worse tita n this in ow from morning. A large party of Chartists ar e g one-rr Merthyr to Brecon, but I am informed that there are 400 soldiers in Brecon, so that the)' wi ll .be warmly received. , r . (From the Morning Chronicle) NEWPORT, MONDAY a te This F Tzaluct,Y• This morning about 1 , 000 of the most desperte of the Chartists, headed by the notorious Frnet' the Chartist delegate, assembled from the oiligl" bouring hills, and made a most determined atta`crir, c ommencing with the Westgate Hotel. T he T wer all well armed with muskets, guns, swords, and a sm piece of cannon. The Magistrates were holding , were sitting at the Hotel, and the military (45th) immediately called out, and fired upon the mob , and put them to flight in all directions. Nine men have already been ascertained to be killed and many wounded ; they left a vast q uantity of arms on the ground. The Mayor,T.Phi lh P , Esq., is shot though the thigh, and wound ed the arm. Mr. Williams, Mr. Morgan, and sables, other respectable inhabitants, special constabl es ' have been wounded ; but it is impossible to ascer tain the extent of the mischief in time for this con veyance. It is reported, and generally credited, that a large body of Chartists have marched on Brecon. (From the Morning Herald.) BRISTOL, NOY. 4, EIGHT O 'CIMC IC I have just received by express from Newport particulars of the following alarming riot NEWPORT, Two o'CLoCK• The Chartists are in possession of the town . This morning about 8,000 of the most desperat e t headed by Frost, the ex-Magistrate and C hartist demagogue, marched into Newport from the hills, armed with muskets, guns, pistols, pikes, swords, and other offensive weapons (and, as I have bees told, two small pieces of cannon), and commenced a violent attack on the Westgate Hotel, where the Magistrates were sitting. The military were called out, and as their attack was of the most fe rocious and bloody character, they were obliged t° fire upon them, and several have been killed, ac counts vary from between ten and twenty. I have myself seen several in our yard. It is reported that some of the soldiers are killed, but I cannot fin d how many. I know that a sergeant, named Daly' was wounded with slugs in the forehead, and anoth er wounded in the arm, but I hope that neither of ther n are dangerously injured. Seine of the special consta bles have been wounded. Mr. H. Williams , ir °ll l monger,was shot in the head—the slug had pe aetrate d ( the forehead, but passed obliquely under the scalf" n t came out at the side of the head, fortunately wit° ll e injuring the bone. Mr. Williams has also a •€; a u r , cut on the knee, and several severe contosioosa• Mr. Morgan, draper, was also wounded by a b % from a musket, but hopes are entertained that rig life will not be lost. Besides the nine Charti sts ' have seen dead, I have since seen several whose wounds arc such as would almost certainly pr,°'l mortal. The 45th soldiers acted bravely----ions acted like men ; and but for their noble the town would probably by this time have bee.nar, mass of smoking ruins. They charged the tists and put them to flight in all directions, lea v" several hundreds of their weapons in the streets.
