RUMOURED DEATH LORD BROUGHAM NOT TRUE ! fat ;., • zllt> Thank God, Lord BROUGHAM still lives ! The report of his death turns out—as we hoped— to be unfounded ; and we may now congratu late our countrymen on their still possessing one of the most comprehensive intellects that ever graced it's literature, and one of the noblest hearts that ever beat high in the cause of freedom. We know not that we ever penned a sentence with more genuine satisfaction than this. A load seems taken off our mind—we breathe more freely—and bend in devout gratitude to Providence for preserv ing a life so dear to us all. At an early hour this morning—having previously distrusted the vague rumour of his death—we instituted the most active inquiries, and learned, on the authority of a private letter, not only that his Lordship received no injury from the overthrow of the carriage (which, by the bye, was not a hired one, but his own), but that he actually walked upwards of thirteen miles after the accident ! Thank God, we again say, for this providential escape ! Freedom—philosophy —science—all that tends to elevate, purify, and en noble the human character ; all that tends to make as good men and good citizens, and to raise us in the scale of thinking beings • all this is the better , for Lord BROUGILAM'S fortunate escape from death. While he lives, freedom still possesses a " tower of strength ;" fez he is the last of a race of Titans, whose u • nrivalled energies have nev e r y e t been exerted but for the advancement of the best interests of humanity. Not for himself has he " scorned delights and lived laborious days," hut for us. 'We are his debtors to an incalculable amount ; and not we, Englishmen, , only, but free men in every quarter of the globe owe him an immense amount of obligation. Even th e poor enslaved, despised ric4ro feels the tear of gratis ude start to his eye, and his heart throb with alivelier pul sation, when he pronounces the name of Bno uG HA M ! Though fully aware that this is not the proper season for panegyric, yet we cannot restrain the strong feelings that rise within us at the bare men tion of his Lordship's escape. His was among the earliest names that we learned to speak with reverence; an admiration of his surpassing talents —but still more of the cause to which he devoted them—c , grew with our growth, and strengthened with our strength;" we exulted in his successes, for they were the triumphs of humanity ; and grieved at his defeats, for, as in the instance of National Education, they checked the progress of intellect. We subjoin some extracts from the public jour nals of this day, by which it will be seen how pro found was the sensation that the rumour of his Lordship's death occasioned among men of all parties. Whig—Tory—Radical — all seem to have been equally grieved by it. From a letter that has been received in his Lordship's hand-writing, we understand that the carriage was broken to atoms, and that the coachman was most seriously injured ; but he himself escaped altogether, and was able to walk thirteen miles after the accident in three hours. An e:epress was sent off this morning to Lady BROUGHAM, at Brighton, with the happy ne%t's of his Lordship's safety. (Flom the Times.) A renort was very prevalent last night that Lord Brougham had been accidentally killed in West moreland by the overturning of his carriage. We are most happy to be able to contradict this dis tressing rumour. Upwards of 150 applications were made last night at his Lordship's house in Grafton -street, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the report - was true, and the answer re turned was that there was no foundation for it. (From the Morning Chronicle.) It is with sincere and strong regret that we an nounce the death of Lord Brougham. So far as the particulars have vet transpired of this unex pected and melancholy event, they are derived from a letter from Mr. Shafto, which we are informed was read yesterday at one of the Club-houses. It appears that Lord Brougham, with his Guests, Mr. Leader and Mr. Shafto, left Brougham-hall on Saturday, for the purpose of visiting some ruin in the neighbourhood : that the axletree of the car riage broke : the horses became unmanageable ; the whole party was thrown out ; and, after his Lord ship had received a severe wound by a kick from one of the horses, the wheel passed over his head, killing him on the spot. Mr. Leader, it is added, was severely bruised, but Mr. Shafto escaped with out material injury. Such is the account generally circulated last night. We have seen a frank of Lord 13rougham's dated on Sunday, and should have taken it as evidence, notwithstanding the frequency with which Sunday franks in particu lar are pre-dated, of the falsehood of the report, but for the distinct and circumstantial statement to which we have referred. Of the event itself, there is, we fear, no reason to doubt. It has been our duty of late to comment with some severity, though not mere, we think, than the occasion demanded, on his Lordship's last publication, and on the course of political action which it seemed to forebode. Whatever expecta tion or apprehension it might suggest is now stilled for ever ; and the feelings excited by that work are merged in those which embrace his whole life, character, and political career. In variety of attain ment, facility of expression, energy of purpose ; in the grandeur of forensic eloquence ; in the declamation that makes a debater impressive to his audience, and the sarcasm that renders him most formidable to an opponent—in the untiring con tinuance of intellectual labour—in the fervent championship of many great objects of national philanthropy and improvement—and in that familiar personal acquaintance so important to the practical statesman, with the modes of thought and feeling that obtain through all the different gradations of society Lord Brougham stood pre-eminent amongst his political compeers. He well earned, by long toil, splendid effort, and gradual ascent, the elevation to which he attained ; not that, merely, of rank and station, but of celebrity and influence. Even before he achieved, and after he was divested of office, no man more surely fixed upon himself the attention of England and of Europe—of the old world and the new. And now, while " The extravagant and erring spirit hies To his confine" —there, we devoutly hope to repose in " the bosom of his father and his God"—we feel rising upon us .the recollections of many an arduous and vigorous struggle for the right ; for unrestricted commerce ; for the spread of knowledge ; for legal and repre sentative reforms ; for the suffering and enslaved African ; for freedom civil and religious ; for many a political victim marked for sacrifice ; for the per secuted Queen; and for the poor and ignorant— the injured and helpless—in our own land, and all the world over. Such recollections, in spite of all deductions and exceptions, which sink into disregard now that the great account is closed, will endear and enshrine his memory. The Legislature— the country at large—all parties, sects, classes must feel that a great public loss has been sustained. And on the future annals of our eventful times ; conspicuous and illus- - trious will stand the name of Henry, Lord Brougham. Henry Brougham was born in Edin burgh, on the 19th September, 1779. He first ss.t in Parliament in 1810, for the borough of Camel ford ; afterwards for Winchilsea ; and he was re turned for Yorkshire, in the memorable election of 18:30.'"'In this year he was raised to the Chan cellorship, and to the Peerage, by the title of Baron Brougham anti Vaux, of Brougham in Westmore land. He held office till the Tory restoration, in 1834. His Lordship has left an only daughter. The title devolves on his brother, William Brougham, Esq., Master iu Chancery. (From the Morning Post.) London was last evening stunned with horror and with grief at the news from Westmoreland of the sudden and violent death of Lord Brougham from an unfortunate accident. The full particulars of this most melancholy event are not yet authenti cally known, but of the fact of Lord Brougham's death we believe there is no doubt. What we have heard from one who long enjoyed the pleasure of Lord Brougham's intimate friendship, and who is now overwhelmed with grief for his loss, is as follows :—On Saturday last Lord Brougham was proceeding from his residence near Penrith, in a carriage which he had hired from an inn in his neighbourhood, to view an ancient castle at some distance. He was ac companied by Mr. Leader, the Member for West minister, and Mr. Shafto. In their journey the carriage broke down, and was upset with its occu pants into a ditch. One of the horses kicked Lord Brougham in the head, rendering hi m una bl e to rise, and apparently quite insensible. While in this state, the horses still struggling, the carriage fell completely over upon Lord Brougham's head, and crushed him to death on the instant. Mr. Leader, we learn, received such serious injuries that it was not supposed. he could survive them. Mr. Shafto escaped with comparatively little injury. We must confess to such a stunning of the spirits, and subduing of the heart, at the news of this frightful termination of Lord Brougham's life, that we fear we cannot write about the event as our readers may possibly expect that we should. We arc oppressed with awe at the thought that a vulgar ac cident of this kind should have suddenly put out the life of so wonderful a man—a man who occupied so large a space in the public view—whose indomitable activity associated him with almost every matter of public moment. We feel crushed by a sense of dread and of humiliation at the thought that in an instant, and by so ordinary a casualty, that aston ishing mind should be to all earthly appearance, and for all earthly purposes, utterly quenched— that mental fire, which burned with so intense a flame, be extinguished for ever. Well as we know that death must be the lot of all men— of the gifted and the brilliant, the great and the as well as of the most ordinary man glorious, that merely cats and drinks and lives—well as we know this, we cannot at the moment bring this philosophy home to the reason. The eclipse of a great mind darkens as well as saddens the realm of our conceptions. Lord Brougham was one of the greatest, and perhaps the most extraordinary, men of his time. The range of his intelligence was prodigious—the versatility of his mental powers amazing. But that in which lie was distinguished above all other men was in a long-enduring pas sionate energy. Other men have had' far more perse verance —more cool determination to do that which they had resolved upon doing ; but no man ever dashed onward, or kept himself for lone and long, at a fearful an d d esperate speed, as did Lord r ' Brougham. As an orator he, in his time, distanced all compe titors. There were far more eloquent speakers— I more skilful rhetoricians ; but in Demosthenic force and clearness, and i n t h e physic a l„ requ i s i tes f or cap tivating and conquering a great assembly by the We have now a word to say as to the sufficiency of the penny rate, which the Reviewer impugns as much as its uniformity. At present the number of paying letters annually distributed by the Post of ee is estimated at 77,500,000, which, at one penny a-piece, gives 322,9161. But the chargeable letters only form on an averacre one• fifth part of the weight of the letters, newspapers, and documents forwarded by the mail. If we assume that the letters alone cause half the whole expense of the Post-office, then, as the whole cost of the Post-office is 698,6321., one penny a letter, even without supposing that a single additional letter should be posted, would very nearly cover the half of the ex pense of the Post-office, or c over t h e w h o l e expense , of carrying letters. That is a good reason for A third argument advanced by this consistent advocate of Church-rates is that Dissenters enjoy the privilege of resting in consecrated earth ; they may be, and many of them are, buried in the church-yard. The practice of burying in church yards, in such populous towns as Leicester, is a very bad one, and we are happy to think that it is going rapidly out of fashion. But if any ambitious Dissenter be led away by the notion that he can attain the high distinction of rotting by the side of a Churchman, merely by paying Churchrates, he, or those who may survive him, will find that they have been labouring under a very serious delusion. Who does not know that a sum of money—often a large one —must be forked out to the parson of the parish before the sexton is allowed to put a spade into the ground ? And yet there are men, calling them . selves Dissenters, who can advocate submission to a conscience-oppressing tax, because, forsooth, they are permitted to pay for the privilege of being earthed up in a parson's freehold ! W e are sur prised that any man above the grade of an idiot, should have ventured to expose himself to the ridi cule of the public, by giving utterance to such ab suiditv.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUFSDAI, OCTOBLR, 22, powers of oratory, no man of his time was equal to Lord Brougham. Nor was he wanting in skill, though it was not precisely of the rhetorical cast. Even in the most terrific storms of passionate invective there seemed to be an under current of cool reason at work, inventing arguments, and sug gesting sarcasms. He had imagination to create, wit to combine, and a torrent of language at com mand, which suited itself to every mood and phase of intellectual employment. Upon matters of po litical opinion it has been our fate always to differ from Lord Brougham. Even of late, when others of our party were wholly with him, we felt that we could not be so. But we cannot dwell upon that now. He is gone—torn away by a horrid and vio lent death, while his mind was vet in its full vigour, and his spirits as elastic and buoyant as ever I We have no feeling now with respect to him but that of grief. The most wonderful genius that belonged to public life is no more, and we, as belonging to the public, are grief-stricken mourners over his un timely grave. (From the Herald.) In another column will nin e ; Herald.) found the rumour that prevailed, last night, as to the death of Lord Brougham. We trust that the report is unfounded. We venture to think, indeed, that had such a catastrophe occurred, specific intelligence on the subject must have been received at his Lordship's house in town. Should, however, the rumour, un fortunately, be confirmed, the public will have lost a servant of great and varied talents—as well as of a kindly and generous nature. To very many of Lord Brougham's principles and opinions we are strongly opposed. In many respects, we deem him to have been an unwise and dangerous councillor ; yet we are little disposed to ques tion the honesty of purpose with which he sought to carry his opinions into action. Whatever may have been Lord Brougham's rank as a statesman, few persons, at all events, will deny that his rank as a debater was very high. Few public speakers have acquired a larger measure of reputation. Few of those men who have, contributed in times past, to the general excitement and gratification, have called forth when they died a stronger sense of privation, in the public, than Lord Brougham will do, should the melancholy rumour now in circulation prove true. The death of Lord Brougham will not fail to produce considerable effects on the state of parties. True, his Lordship pos sessed no definite political power. He could boast of no party in Parliament. Yet even in Par liament he produced, at times, results of no slight moment. He, above all other persons, perhaps, has, for the last two years, contrived to " damage" the present weak and worthless Ministry. Lord Brougham's influence, moreover, over the opinions of the pro-educational, and anti-slavery parties throughout the country has never been shaken. " The web" of Lord Brougham's public life has, indeed, " been a mingled yarn—good and ill toge ther." But his impulses were of an honest kind ; and his death will not, in many quarters, be unat tended with deep and lasting regrets. We recur to the subject of a uniform penny postage, which the Quarterly Reviewer, with a hy pocritical pretension to a love of justice, opposes through many pages because it would be unjust. We showed in our former article that, in fact, it costs more, in many cases, to transmit letters short distances, as in the examples quoted by the Re viewer of Louth and Edinburgh, than to transmit them great distances, when many of them are to be sent, which at once puts down his pretended love of justice, founded on his common sense view. Besides the element of the number of letters to be sent affecting the cost of sending each letter, and which the blind common sense of the Reviewer could not see, there is another important con sideration which justifies a uniform rate. In a great number of cases, as in those of Dublin and Edinburgh, whether the Govern ment undertake to carry the letters of individuals or not, it must keep up a continual communication. Its officers are scattered all over the empire, and if it do not now receive daily reports from them, that is because the public newspapers supply it with intelligence from every corner of the empire ; and if there were no newspapers, the Government must have daily reports, in order to be assured of the continuance of tranquillity and peace from most of its functionaries. Even now the Custom-house, Excise, and Stamp departments, with several other branches of the public service, transmit and receive daily an immense number of communications from various parts of the kingdom. The Govern ment, therefore, is compelled to be a carrier of letters for its own service, and consequently to carry those of individuals, whether one mile or 100 miles, can add very little, or nothing, to the expense. In truth, Government does not carry on much written com munication within short distances, and a great deal with long distances, whence it follows that the car rying of letters within short distances is an extra service which Government performs for individuals, which is not required for itself, and for which it might with propriety make individuals pay. Thus, astounding as it may appear to the ' 1 Tory common sense of the Quarterly Re viewer, it is a fact that it costs the Government, which must send to the extremes of the empire, more to carry the letters of individuals within the circle of the twopenny or threepenny posts, than to sendfliem to Dublin or Edinburgh. It is proved by Mr. HILL, whose calculations on this point cannot be disproved by the Reviewer, that it costs at present only one thirty-sixth part of a penny to convey a letter from London to Edinburgh. The Postage Committee, by compar ing the whole number of paying letters with the present actual cost of transit on the whole, come to the conclusion that it costs not quite two elevenths of a penny on each letter to convey all the letters which pass through the Post-office within the limits of Great Britain and Ireland to its destination. " It is not a matter of inference," say the Commit tee, " but of fact, that the expense to the Post-office is practically the same whether a letter goes from London to Barnet, or from London to Edinburgh. The difference is not expressible in the smallest coin we have." Such being the fact, the Reviewer will perhaps condescend to inform the publiC, if he charge a penny to carry a letter to Barnet, what further sum he will charge in order to carry it to Edinburgh or Inverness. Shall it be a penny. and the hundredth part of a penny for the former, and one penny-farthing for the latter, and must some new money be coined to suit the sense of justice, infi nitely more refined than the delicate feeling that lives in the insect's antenna, which has all at once become native to the Tories ? Let the Reviewer, on any supposition of the cost of conveyance at all consistent with the facts, seek to form a scale of charges which shall be exactly proportionate to the cost of conveying letters, including both the distance and the number of letters sent, and the hopelessness of his task will soon make him take refuge in one uniform rate. It is from the impossibility of framing any scale, varying with the distance and the number of letters to be con veyed, which shall be at all proportionate to the actual charge of transmitting letters, that a uniform rate has been chosen, and that a uniform rate, if any charge whatever is to be made, is just to all letter-writers. saying that the penny rate is sufficient ; more would be a tax--less could not well be collected ; though we have no objection to a halfpenny uniform rate if that will suit the Tories. Indeed we know no other objection to the penny rate than that it will in fact, if the number of letters materially increase, be a greater sum than is really necessary to carry en the service of the post-office, and will arnount,prc (auto, to a tax on communication,which we abhor. We have dealt only with the principle of the plan, and with the principle laid down in the Review. A great many of the writer's remarks ap ply to matters of detail, into which we shall not follow him, because we doubt if any of them would exist when the new plan, with all the improve ments of which it is susceptible, conies into . opera tion. False, however, as is the principle adopted by the Reviewer, so false are his details ; and the falsity of both is quite worthy of the hypocritical pretence that the Tory, who advocates the starva tion law, is anxious that justice should be done. Sir R. PEEL, in his letter which we published • yesterday, is extremely anxious to deny, and denies most positively, that he has given any assurance to any Protestant Irish gentlemen, or any other per sons, that there was no design on his part of pushing the exterminating principle in Ireland so far as actually to excite rebel lion. His partizans, however, have pushed it fully that length, and insist on its being driven completely home. Now, as he does not say one word against them, as he denies having repu diated their doctrines, and does not repudiated the doctrines themselves, he must be held to approve of them, as we said on Friday, in reference to the contradiction previously given by the Times to the article in the Observer. The Right Hon. Baro net is prepared, according to his own statement, to push the exterminating doctrines preached by his supporters to the utmost extremity. He goes the whole hog with the the politico-religious fana tics. The Times was authorised to contradict the Observer, and must be considered as the crgan of the Right Hon. Baronet, as it is of the politico religious and whole-hog gentry. That Journal threatens the " Papists and Whigs " with a day of rcekonin2, and calls them " criminals." To exterminate criminals is held by many lawgivers to be a duty, and on this principle we understand why the Times, the Protestant fanatics, and Sir ROBERT PEEL, are ready and willing to push the exter minating principle, so as to provoke rebellion, and have a pretext for wholesale slaughter. It would have been more humane, though less factious, in Sir ROBERT PEEL to have adopted the version of the Observer rather than that of the Times, and con fessed himself a poor politician intriguang for place, rather than seeking power on the principle of shedding his country's , blood. We believe all wickedness of the Tories as politicians ; for those who doom a portion of the people to starvation cannot commit a greater crime. We beg to call attention to a letter inviting the public to form an Anti-Interference Society. The intention seems to be to endeavour, by the ordi nary and usual practice of co-operation, to attain an end which the several individuals and classes who are now annoyed by sabbatical and other puritans, cannot reach by themselves. To us it appears that if such a Society were properly or ganized, it might be of great public service, and we recommend the letter to the perusal, and the plan to the support, of the public. In looking over the Report of the proceedings of the Church-rate meetings at Leicester, which we noticed yesterday, we observe that in one of the parishes, the most strenuous advocate of the motion made for levying a contribution on the Dissenters for the support of a system of religion against which they feel themselves bound in conscience to protest, was a Dissenter. The reasons assigned by this sapient personage, why the " nefarious exaction"—to use the expressive phrase of the Times—should be saddled upon him and his brethren, if not very profound, are at least curious, and therefore we allude to them, as they may afford our Dissenting readers a little amusement. First, then, argues Mr. RozzELL, the churches, though in the possession of the Episcopalians, who happen at present to be the majority, may at some future time be handed over to the Presbyterians, Independents, or Baptists, supposing any of these sects, or each of them in turn, should gain a numerical superiority over that which now domineers over all. it is therefore a point of in terest, and of sound worldly discretion, in the Dis senters to pay Church-rates that they may keep up their title to the reversion of the Cathedrals and other ecclesiastical buildings when these shall be evacuated by the present tenants. Whenever this happy era arrives, we may confidently assure this far-reaching gentleman, the Dissenters will not require any such argu ment as this to justify their occupation of the churches. It will be a sufficient answer to any one who shall then object to their entrance into posses sion on the ground of non-payment of Church rates, to say that. the least that those could do who have had the use of the national fabrics rent free, was to keep them in repair. The fabrics themselves, as well as the ground on which they stand, belong to the nation, and may be converted to any purpose that it may determine. Mr. ROZZELL'S second argument in favour of Church-rates is the benefit which the Dissenters derive from the ringing of the church bells. When a Non-conformist in Leicester is called to his long home, the passing bell, it seems, tolls for him as well as for the Churchman. Be it so. Does the bell toll for nothing ? Let the undertaker's bill be examined, and it will answer the question. But were the sound of the passing bell never heard, we should not think the Dissenters would much regret the silence of its consecrated tongue. The ringing of the bell, when a death takes place, is nothing else than a remnant of super stition—a rag of the garment of the old lady of Babylon —and one of its objects was to give notice to the faithful that a soul had passed into eternity, in order that they might afford it the benefit of their prayers. It also served to frighten away evil spirits. For this latter reason, bells were baptized in Catholic times, and are consecrated in our more enlightened Protestant days. result of the meeting, sufficiently show that they have no sympathy with such folly. Letters and papers from Madrid, oE the 13th inst., have been received. On that day there was no sitting of the Cortes, and a rumour prevailed that a change had taken place in the Cabinet., which would render the dissolution of the Cham bers inevitable. It was possibly premature, but the mails departed before any inquiry could be made upon the subject. During the sitting of the Cortes on the 12th, the question of a new loan was discussed, but no resolution was taken about it. The following are the articles of the proposed law as presented by the Minister of Finance : " 1. The Government is authorised to issue bonds, payable to the bearer, with interest at five per cent., and to the extent of 20,000,000 of reals on account of the loan of 500,000,000 of reals as decreed by the law of 1837. " '2. These bonds are to be exchanged for inscrip tions, which will be delivered as soon as the loan is effected. The Government, however, will not have the power of negociating these bonds ; it can only deposit them as a guarantee, in part or in totality, for the secu rity of private contracts, which the urgent wants of the military service may render necessary. On the other hand, the contractors will be required to give security to Government that they will not dispose of the s;141 bonds, except on condition of their being paid off at the expiration of the stipulated period, and by giving pre vious notice to the Goverment." The accounts from Arragon, received in Madrid, represented CABRERA and the Count D'ESPAGNE as resolved to hold out to the last. To CABRERA several of the QUEEN'S Generals proposed that no quarter should be given. He was preparing at Cantavieja for a most vigorous resistance, and few fortresses in Europe were in so good a pos ture of defence as his head quarters, perched on a high rock, and unasailable on three sides. ESPARTERO was on the 11th at Mu niesa, at the head of the first brigade of the first division. The second and third brigades of the same division were at Cortes, and the remainder of the Army of the North at Huesa, l'iloneva, Ma yuela, Calanocha, and Monreal. The grand struggle will, therefore, shortly commence in good earnest. CABRERA has taken his stand, and fly he cannot. Our report from the Mansion-house, heated Flying Public-houses," may instruct the whole body of meddlers, if they he not insensible to rea son. In order to prevent people obtaining a dram in the usual way, the law shuts up public-houses, and the consequence is that flying public-houses are established, hackney coaches, barbers' shops, and the corners of streets become the resort of gin drinkers. Immediately, then, two ofFences are created. Before the law passed it was no offence either to sell or drink gin, now it is ; and as people persist in selling and drinking, the law is obviously the cause of the double crime. But further, the City Mar shall bore testimony to the seized spirits being exe crable stuff, so that the law moreover gives a bounty on cheating, which cheating immediately takes place. The object is said to be to protect ti:e lower classes—the real effect is to expose them to fraud, and to make them pay a higher price by the premium necessary to cover the risk of violating the law. The Anti-Interference Society will find in such cases many arguments against the meddling policy. The French Journals of Sunday, the whole of which we have received, arc still barren of political news of anv interest. Among the arrivals in Paris, we find those of the Princess LIEvEN and General MARoTo duly announced. The Princess proposes passing the winter in Paris, and has taken apart ments at the Hotel of the late Prince DE TAL- LEVRAND. A letter from Toulon, of the 15Lh instant, states that the Ocean, Neptune, Suffren, Souverain, Al ger, Marengo, Seipion, and Nestor ships of the line, now fitting out in the French ports, and which will all be soon ready to put to sea, with several corvettes, would form a squadron of reserve, carry ing from ten to twelve thousand men. It was ex pected, however, not to sail before the spring, ow ing to the inclemency of the winter season in the Mediterranean. The Minister of Marine had like wise glum orders that the marines on the coast of Spain should be landed, in order that they might be transferred to ships of the line. The sugar refiners and beet-root growers have held a meeting at Lille, at which the Royal Ordi nance, reducing the import duty on colonial sugars, was denounced as ruinous to their interests. A Committee was appointed, with powers to protest against the Ordinance as illegal, and the payment of a tax on home grown sugars, which the law does not authorize. The people of Lille were not, how ever, by any means so distressed as the inhabitants of Strasburg, in consequence of the decline of the cotton trade in that city. No fewer than six manu facturing establishments had been compelled, in the course of a few weeks, to suspend their works. The Journal de Debats of Sunday, has a long article in which the question of granting pasports to Don CARLOS is examined, and the immediate libe ration of the Pretender urged as quite a harmless measure. If the Debats speak the language of the Government, it is easy to see how very little the pacification of Spain troubles the repose of the French Cabinet. France connived at the escape of CARLOS before, and inflicted on the Peninsula six years of civil war, with all its train of attendant horrors`; and now his release is advocated with every prospect of perpetuating these calamities ! Parliament is to be further prorogued on Thurs day next, to Thu r sd a y th e 12th December. A Council for this purpose was held at Windsor yesterday, at which her Majesty was present. Most of the Ministers were present, but Lord John Rus sell was absent on account of the death of the Duke of Bedford. DEATH OF THE DUKE OF BED- FORD. His Grace expired at the Doune, in Perthshire, at ten o'clock on Sunday. He had been residing with his family for some weeks in that favourite retreat of the Duchess, and on Friday last was at tacked by paralysis, which deprived him suddenly of the power of speech, which he never recovered. His Grace succeeded to the title and estates on the death of his brother Francis, the great patron of agricultural improvements, on the 2d of March, 1802. He was born July 6, 1766, consequently he died in the seventy-fourth year of his age. He married first Georgiana Elizabeth, daughter of Viscount Torrington, by whom he had issue, the present Duke of Bed ford, Lord George William Russell, and Lord John Russell. George married second Georgians, youngest daughter of Alexander, Duke of Gordon, by whom he had a numerous family. He has left vast property, said to be worth at least 250,0001. a year ; a considerable portion of which will be divided among his children. His Grace was a liberal, distinguished, and con sistent Whig, never deserting his party, or even the leader of his party, from whim, caprice, or even for reasons which some other Whigs considered sufficient grounds for desertion, as his fidelity to Fox proved. He was a long and steady patron of education on the most liberal principles, a hearty coadjutor in that great cause of Lord Brougham, (who, we rejoice, still lives) and one of the most li beral contributors to the fund in aid of the British and Foreign School Society. pr es Duke is ukrye is in the 51st year of his age, and the honorary title of Marpis of Tavistock devolves on his son, n Lord Rus e ll, th e present M em ber for Tavistock . _ . CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Thomas' Buckmaster, a labourer, was convicted for breaking and entering the dwelling-house of William Snosswell, a watch and clock-maker, in Farringdon street, on the 15th of the present month, and heitig an old offender, was sentenced by the Learned Judge to transportation for 15 years. Joseph Holjjhead and John Arber were indicted for stealing a sack of oats, the property of Henry Mug gridge, his master, of . Holyhead, in the course of the present month. The Jury acquitted the prisoners. The prisoners were again indicted with a similar of fence on a subqucnt day. The Jury acqi:ted the prisoners on this charge. Mr. Sergeant ARABIN said the Jury had viewed the case of the prisoners with great leniency, and they might depend upon it, if they•came there again, they would be transported. John Allen, aged 22, Ann Coupland, aged 35, Thomas Allen, aged 30, and Edward Coupland, aged 37, were indicted, the two former with stealing a bag, one dressing case, and other articles, the property of the Hon. Stephen Edward Spring Rice, the son of Lord Monteagle, and the two latter for receiving the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. It appeared from the evidence that the proiccutor, Mr. Rice, came up from Newmarket by the Telegraph, Norwich coach, on the 2d of September, and the bag was stolen from the hind boot of the coach while stop ping to set down a passenger at the corner of Fetter lane. Mr. Rice identified two hair brushes, some shirt studs, a razor strop, two silk handkerchiefs, and a pair of knee buckles, which were produced, as being his pro perty. The remainder of the articles that were in the bag, comprising - the dressing case, a quantity of silver and jewellery have not been discovered. Mr. Phillips appeared for the prisoner Edward Coup land. The other prisoners were „unchttended. There was no evidence of guilty knowledge on the part of Edward Coupland, and the Jury therefore ac quitted him, but the other prisoners were found guilty,. and were sentenced to six molths' imprisonment in the House of Correction, the last three weeks to be solitary. NEW COURT. William Thompson aged 73, and John Hazard, two old Greenwich pensioners, were indicted, the former with stealing 381bs. of - cheese, value 258., and the lat ter with receiving it, knowing it to have been stolen. The Jury acquitted Hazard, but found Thompson guilty. They, however, strongly recommended him to mercy. It appeared that Thompson had been con victed before, and the Court therefore sentenced - him to six months' hard labour in Maidstone gaol. iVIIDDLESEX COUNTY. COURT. - - Mrs. Emma Florice, a young married lady, of re markably attractive appearance, accompanied by a dark eyed sentimental looking young man, with his hair nicely parted and hanging in ringlets down the sides of his face, preser.ted herself before Mr. Commissioner Do nors, to demand compensation for a white chip bonnet, alleged to have been spoled by Mrs. Wilson, a bonnet maker and cleaner. " Before I left town," said the charming complainant, in a silventoned voice, " I sent .a bonnet, which I had recently bought at Tremaine's, and paid three guineas for, to Mrs. Wilson, to be cleaned: The bonnet I sent was not quite so small as a Victoria, but much less than an Adelaide, and one of the sweetest shapes in the world. Wasn't it, Mr. Tracey ?" (appealing to her companion with the love locks.) Mr. Tracey—Oh ! it was immensely becoming. Plaintiff—When I returned to town I found this odious thing had been sent home as my bonnet. Mr. Commissioner Dusoss—Pray, madam, how do you know it is not your bonnet ? Plaintiff—Because it makes me look a perfect fright, Don't it Mr. Traccy ? Mr. Tracey—Hag t. it does make a norrid sort of a halteration. Defendant—lt's the same bonnet I received from you, and if there is any difference in the shape it is because it has been pressed. Plaintiff—l'm certain it's not the same bonnet, and so 'Mr. Tracey said as soon as he saw it on. Now look, gentlemen, and say if you ever saw such a fright of a thing. Hold my bonnet and boa Mr. Tracey. The fair plaintiff whipped off her own very becoming bonnet and clapped on the renovated chip, and from a pretty piquante lady-like creature, she was instantly metamorphosed thereby into a sort of strolling gipsy or Irish apple-woman. " There, gentlemen ! Now I hope you are convinced that the bonnet is not mine," said the plaintiff, throwing off the bonnet indignantly, " my husband and Mr. Tra cey were with ma when I chose the bonnet at Tremaine's, and it isn't likely they would have let me disfigure my self with such a dowdy affair as that." " But you should recollect, madam," said the defen dant, " that you wore blond whiskers, and that makes a great deal of difference in the look even of the same bonnet." Plaintiff—l can send for my husband to prove I b.ld tulle bows only when I went to buy the bonnet, but he's got a head, and so has a pin. You'll know best, Mr. Tracey, what I had on. Had I tulle bows or blonde whiskers ? Mr. Tracey—Decidedly bows! Mr. Commissionm- Dcao:s--We have a number of these cases before us. Ladies send their bonnets to be cleaned, and the process sometimes makes such an al teration that the owners are willing to swear thcy have been changed„ - and they then bring the cleaner here. Defendant—l have brought proof that the bonnet is the same I received from the lady. 'White chip always shrinks in cleaning, and, of course, the shape is altered. Mr. Commissioner DCTIOIS-4 do not think the plaintiff can fairly doubt that the bonnet is not the same after what she has heard. " Well, its very provokirg," said the plaintiff; " reckoned on this bonnet, with new trimming, to last me the winter, and I'm sure my husband won't let me have another. Do you think lie will, Mr. Tracey ?" Mr. Tracey leaned forward, and whispered something which occasioned the plaintiff's face to brighten up. " Make the best job of the bonnet you can, Mrs, Wilson," said the complainant, " and when it is done send it home, and I'll pay you the expense." . _ Saying which Mrs. Florice laid hold of Mr. Tracey's arm, and left the court. SURREY SESSIO:S.—(T - HIS DAY.) (Befffe 11. HEDGER, Esq., Chairman.) Mary Buckner was indictc d for stealing, on the 13th inst., a sovereign, a crown, half-a-crown, and eight shil. iings, the property of Wm. Grieves. The prosecutor was induced to go home with the prisoner en a Saturday night, after receiving his wages ; he had some suspicions, and there being no lock on the door, he took a gimlet out of his pocket and bored it through the door and door post. In the morning he was dosing, and the prisoner took his clothes from un der his pillow, took the money out of his pocket, opened the window, and made off before he could dress him self. He gave notice to the police, and she was taken on Monday evening, dressed out in new clothes, or Or rigged out in heWr dudds, as he called it, no doubt the produce of his money. In answer to the prisoner he s lid he was not quite asleep, but neither was he so wile awake as she was. He thought the gimlet would have secured her, but he was mistaken, as the bird flew by the window. Verdict—Guilty. The CHAIRMAN said she had been once convicted there before, and had suffered six months' imprisonment, and she had also been twice summarily convicted. After so many warnings, which bad proved of no use, she must leave the country. The sentence of the Court was—That she be transported for seven years. Sarah Trew was indicted for stealing a shawl, value 33., the property of Mrs. Taylor. The prisoner was helping to carry the goods of a person into Mr. Taylor's house, and took the shawl off the banisters. The prisoner acknowledged the taking, but z.ttributed it to deep distress, occasioned by her husband's desert ing her, and taking up with another woman. Several witnesses spoke to the distress of the pri soner, and she was sentenced to seven days' solitary confinement in Brixton House of Correction. Charles Allen was indicted for stealing a coat value 21. 10s., the property of John Arnold. The prosecutor said he left his coat in his chaise cart, and it was taken away. The woman who saw the pri soner take the coat did not a ppear, although called upon her suhpeona.—Acquitted . The other cases cisp o sed of in the morning were of a very trifling nature. MANSIO N.HOUSE-(THIS DAY.) EVENING EDITION. Mr. Puller said the robbery could not have been committed without the knowledge of Wanstall or Skat , ...s, for it wm the duty of Skates to remain in the wnrchouse until Wanstall came from breakfast. at half past eight, and then to go to breakfast himself. The prisoners were remanded until to-morrow. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) Dinah Owen was brought up, under the following circumstances : Benj. Bregezzi, an Italian, stated that about a fort night ago he met with a girl, and accompanied her to a house kept by the prisoner, in Field-lane. She subse quently introduced a second girl. In the morning he discovered that he had been robbed of upwards of 101. The prisoner &DIM all knowledge of the robbery, and said that no second girl was introduced. One of the officers said the house was a most noto rious one, and Mr. Alderman LAINSON directed the prisorscr to find bail to answer any charge at the Sessions. He also directed the officers to look after the girls. - .....regnermannownwrgrt HATTON-GARDEN.—(THIS DAT.)
