NEVENING EDIVIO- NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC. GENERAL POST OFFICE, Nov. 21, 1839 . I N compliance with the Orders of the Lc `rds of the Treasury, the following alterations in the R atea of Postage will take place, on and after the sth of December tif% t, The system of charging Letters by Enclosures is abolisl Teti ; all Lette,rs, therefore, whether General P ost, Forei g n, or Co • lonial, with the exception of local Penny Post Letters, am', of the l oca l L etters piss i ng through the Dublin a nd London I.ocal Post, will be charged by weight according to the fell , m i tis Seale : On Letters not exceeding Half-an-Ounce, there will b taken cant, who 'rules Lord Melbourne. Our readers may, however, judge what a truthful gentlemen this Mr. O'Connell is, who talks of raising half a million of wild' Irish in arms, "to protect the Queen against the Tories," as if the .thing could be done by the mere sound of his voice, or wafture of his arm. But whey► he wants precisely that number shillings he is obliged to cry shame upon them that seven millions of people should be wanting to such an effort. What are Mr. O'Con.. nell's millions of people worth for any purpose (save " occasional assassination and electing Members to Par liament) when to get a shilling out of each of them is an admitted. impassibility? Most assuredly it is so. The poor creatures have not a shilling nor a sixpence • to give to any one ; but if they have so much .as a penny or a halfpenny, O'Connell and the priests : will wring that out of them, that he may revel .. in plenty and in power, and that the priests may ' feed their hopes of trampling upon the Church of England. O'Connell and the priests . find no difficulty in obtaining millions of voters, because all the poor wretches have to do to become voters is to swear that they are worth ten pounds a year above what they are bound to pay for their land ; but to find millions who are really worth one shilling is a far more difficult task. If perjury could be coined into shillings, O'Connell might soon get more than enough even for his profusion.. The people who conduct the beggary further say as follows : " It is right to state that universal co-operation has been made indispensable by the fact that the aggregate re% sults of the collections, from and including the year 1836 to the present period, have been so dieproportioned to the unavoidable expenditure as to leave the' Great Reformer' LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1839.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. Two Rates of Postage. Ounces, On Lett ers a b ove One Ounce, and not exceeding Two. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The simplicity, propriety, and good taste of the terms in which her Majesty's declaration of her ap proaching, marriage was conveyed, have, as we believe, been generally .admired. Disappointed faction, how ever, sees everything through the medium of its own jaundiced condition. Nothing can be right or good, true or beautiful, while the Tories are out. A fault must be found ; an imputation must be cast ; an occa sion must be discovered or invented for pouring out afresh those choice selections from the slang dictionary of abuse, of which the vituperative force is pretty nearly evaporated by ceaseless repetition. The blemish de tected by the Times in the Queen's declaration to the Privy Council,, is that it flings a " new slight upon the Protestant Church and people !" What smothered and uncomfortable sensations of disappointment, bitterness, and malignity, are implied in the far-fetched ingenuity of this wonderful discovery! It will be just as reason able, when the desired results of her Majesty's marriage shall present an heir-apparent to the British throne, for the Times to exclaim on the iniquity of the royal child ever being allowed to say " papa," lest it should be construed into a recognition of Papacy, and be felt as another " slight upon the Protestant Church and people." The supposition is scarcely too absurd for this sore sensitiveness, or for its fraudulent affectation. But George 111., we are pompously re minded, when his marriage was announced, vouched for the Protestant zeal of the illustrious ancest ors o f his Four Rates of Postage. °n Letters above Two Ounces, and, not exceed; . ng Three PURSUANT to a Decree of the Hit h Court of Chancery, made in a Cause of ROBERTSON against SKELTON and OTHERS, the Creditors of JOHN SKEL TON, late of Chandos-street, Covent-garden, and of Portland place, Hammersmith, in the county of Middlesex, Warehouse man, who died in the month of August, 1830, are forthwith to come in and prove their debts betore Sir GIFFIN Witsox, one of the Masters of the said Court, at his Chambers in South ampton-buildings, Chancery-lane, London ; or in default there of, they will be excluded the benefit of the said Decree.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Secretary. Ounces, Six Rates of Postage. On Letters above Three Ounces, and not exci ceding Four Ounces, Eight Rates of Postage. And so on in proportion. Postmasters should bear in mind, how rever , that after the First Ounce in the annexed Scale, no dic,tinction is made between the Ounce and a Fraction of an Ounce. A Letter, kr instance, which turns the Ounce weight, is liable to Four rfaces of Postage ; and a Letter weighin .g a Fraction above TWO Ounces, is liable to Six Rates of Postage, and so on. This Regulation, however, will not affect the mode of charging trench Rates on Letters to or from France, and through Prance, as the present system of chart ;ing French Rates on such Litters must continue in force, viz., a Single French Rate for each Quarter of an Ounce, .exclusive. The Single Rate of Inland Postage on all General Post. Let ters, transmitted between places in the United Kingdom, will be the uniform Rate of 4d., except in those cases where the Letters are at present subject to lower Rates than the Sum Specified, and except in the case of Foreig n Letters transmitted by packet, on which the Rates of Inland Postage at present taken must be continued, although the charge must be cal culated in both cases by weight, as before` mentioned, and not by Enclosures. No Inland Rate of Postage will be taken on Letters between the British West Indies and the United Kingdom, or en those between Gibraltar, Malta, the lonian Islands, and the United Kingdom. This last description of Letters must, how ever, b e addressed " via Falmouth," or tl ley will otherwise be- I come subject to the present Inland Rates, as they will be for warded through France, and be treated as Foreign Letters. As the rate to and from North Amert,ca already is an uni- i form rate of One Shilling for a Single L etter, the rate of Post age on Letters conveyed by Packet between the United King- 1 doin and all the British Colonies ( with the exce p tion of Let- ters to the East Indies, which are to be charged when they are sent or received via Falmouth 2s. 6d. as at present,) will be an uniform single rate of One Shilling, advancing on all Let ters exceeding half an ounce according to the scale of Weight already laid down. No Penny Postage will hereafter be charged upon Letters Passing through the General Post except on those which are ranked; Franks, however, will still be liable to the local rates of a Penny or Twopence, as at present, when passing through Penny Posts in the Country, or the local Posts of London and Dublin. The additional rates heretofore chargeable on Letters con ' I cYed by the route of the Menai and Conway Bridges, that of Milford and Waterford, and the additional Halfpenny on Let ors conveyed by Mails in Scotland, will be abolished. No Letter which is not franked, or which shall not be either despatched by, or addressed to a Public Department on the Public Service shall be forwarded when above the weight of Sixteen Ounces, with the exception of those from Foreign Countries or the Colonies, addressed to the United Kingdom, whether they shall arrive by Packet or by private Ship, and Deeds and Parliamentary Proceedings when addressed to the Colonies to be forwarded by Packet. The Letters will be delivered according to their address, but at the rates of Postage to which they will be liable by the scale before given. With respect to Deeds and Parliamentary Proceedings, they will be treated according to the existing' Regulations, and will be charg e d with the rates they are at present liable to, except where those rates are higher than they would be under the new System. Parliamentary Petitions above Sixteen Ounces within the United Kingdom will be treated in a similar manner. Let ters evidently intended to be franked, but which have become liable to Postage by wrong date, &c. &c., must be forwarded, even if above the weight of Sixteen Ounces, but at the rates already laid down. All Letters exceeding the weight of an Ounce (with the ex ception of Letters addressed to France) must have the Postage Paid in advance. Should the Postage not be paid in advance, the Letters must be charged with double the rates to which they would otherwise be liable. The Charge on Letters transmitted by private Ship between the United Kingdom and Places beyond Sea (with the excep tion of the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, and Places within the limits of the East India Company's Charter) will also be taken by weight according to the scale before given. The single rate of Postage on such Letters will be Bd. when posted or delivered at the port of departure or arrival, and Is. when Posted or delivered at any other Place within the United King dom. These rates of Bd. and Is. will apply also to Letters be tween this Country and China. The rates on Letters conveyed by private Ships between the United Kingdom and Countries comprised within the limits of the East India Company's Charter will be the present uniform ra se for Sea Postage of 2d. outwards , and 4d. inwards, for Letter s n ot exceeding the weight of three ounces, when posted °e delivered at the Ports of depa rture or arrival respectively, 'Pond that weight an uniform rate of Is. per ounce will be taken as Sea Postage. When, however, such Letters are Posted or delivered at any other Place than the Port of arrival I and departure, they will be liable to the charge of Inland Post ! age, calculated according to the new scale of weight, in addition to the Sea Postage before mentioned. L e tters transmitted by private Ships between Places within the United Kingdom must be treated in the same manner as Ge neral Post Letters forwarded by the regular Mails between such Places, and charged with the same rates of Postage according to the scale of weight before laid down. Letters conveyed by . private Shins between Great Britain and the Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man must be treated in a similar manner. All Letters that cannot be forwarded owing to their exceed ing the prescribed weight must be sent to the Dead Letter Office in accordance with the existing regulations. By Command, W. L.

ATENT BRANDY VERSUS COGNAC. —The celebrity of BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY, and its unparalleled extent of sale, with which the public generally are now well acquainted, would seem to render almost unnecessary any attempt to extend a knowledge of those Co.fa. Such, indeed, would b e the course that J. T. Betts and ‘, would pursue, were it not for the numerous and specious attempts to foist upon the world articles presumptuously offered as substitutes for the Patent Brandy, without the most remote pretensions to approach it in q ualit y ; attempts which, however short lived, impose upon J. T. Betts and Co. the ne cessity for issuing, from time to time, a caution to the Public to satisfy themselves of the identity of the Spirit which they pro cure, if purchasers would take only that simple precaution, and really obtain Betts's Patent Brandy, the complaints in cessantly m ule of the defective cha racter of Home-made Brandy, would soon cease to be heard. , So unbounded is the confid ence of J. T. Betts and Co. in tne sterling qualities and value of their production—and so en tirely is that confidence borne out by chemical analysis, by tnedical sanction, and by universal family support—that they have challenged their continental neighbours, the French Dis . tillers, to produce, amongst the finest samples of Cognac, an article of equal purity, or possessed of the same wholesome properties, as the Patent Brandy. The Patentees, as Distillers, cannot send out less than Two Gallons, w hich may be obtained; either p ale or coloured, for Cash o n Delivery, at Eighteen Shillings per Imperial Gallon, of the hi g h es t legal strength , at the Distillery , No. 7, Smithfield . bars, leading to St. 0 h - treet —the'r only Establishment.

You will have seen, by my report of Friday's pro ceedings, that the Court had adjourned till Monday morning, then to continue the examination of the witnesses in the case of Zephaniah Williams, which is expected to be of considerable interest. Yesterday, 11.1wever, Roger Davis, who was apprehended in the house of his uncle, at Canterbury, was brought in ;' and also several other prisoners, some of whose cases it was necessary to go into at once, as is explained by my Re port annexed. In consequence of informatio❑ the Ma gistrates received from Cardiff, a hundred of the 45th have marcned for that town to-day (Sunday). I trust and confidently expect that this precaution will prevent any outbreak, though I am compelled to state that, for the last two or three days, there have been unfavour able rumours from that neighbourhood. The Tory prints still continue their system of violent outcry against the principals implicated in these unfor tunate proceedings with a view to damage the present administration, and, if possible, to raise their party to power, by sacrificing the lives of many of the poor creatures, who are now awaiting the issue of the Special Commission. Indeed, so strongly is this felt by the friends and legal advisers of the prisoners, that I am cre dibly informed that a memorial is about to be presented to the Home Secretary, praying that the Special Com mission may be stayed until the excitement and preju dice engendered in this neighbourhood against all who are suspected of the least taint of Chartism has sub sided ; and certainly there would appear to be some ground for such an application ; for, in addition to the matters urged against the prisoners so pertinaciously by the Tory press, there is a strong feeling of resentment existing in the minds of a'l classes here, not only on ac count of the evils which are always attendant on occur rences of this kind, but from the peculiar circumstances of the tradesmen being deprived of their usual monthly payments from the workmen, which fell due on the Saturday preceding the riots. With respect to the charges so unblushingly put forth by the Tory press, that Chartism has been fostered and encouraged by the Liberal Government, I bez to refer you to the following extracts from the Northern Star, which is edited by Feargus O'Connor, and adopted by his followers as their only organ : " To force the Tory party into power is the true game of the Radical Reformers, and where they cannot elect an undoubted Radical of Cohbettite principtes, they ought unquestionably to vote for Tories, to the ex clusion of Whigs ; however smooth-spoken, and however loud about liberality,' and the ' Liberal party ' (base fudge !) such Whigs may be. We have made use of the word' Cobbettite principles,' because at this juncture we would vote for a Tory rather than any self-called Radical who did not distinctly avow the principles of the late illustrious member for Oldham, and who would not pledge himself to drive out the Whig Ministers by any means, no matter on what question. If' such pseudo-Radicals as are now in the Ilouse, and there are scores of them, had been Tories, where would the Mel bourne-Russellite crew have been at this hour? At the people's feet ; instead of hatching rural police, poor law bastiles, spies, and hired Magistrates !" After this, there can be but little difficulty in identi fying Pianism with Toryism, whose affectionate off spring it most assuredly is. A gentleman who has known Frost for twer.ty years, and who was once his most intimate and familiar friend, ascribes his fall entirely to Tory influence. The un happy man was once a sound and constitutional Re former, and at that period of his life he was neither visionary i❑ his views, violent in his conduct, nor law less in his mode of obtaining that which his conscience assured him to be correct. In consequence, however, of some litigation, he formed an antipathy to Mr. Blewitt, the present Liberal Member of these boroughs, whose election he resolutely opposed. In this he was cor dially assisted and supported by many of those who are now crying out for his blood ; and it is to this period that his fall from the honourable position which, as a politician, he had previously occupied, may be traced. He caught the "No Poor-law" cry from his newly acquired friends, and repeated it till his own enthusias tic mind became impressed with a conviction of its injustice. The gentleman to whom lam in debted for the preceding information, and upon whose veracity the strictest reliance may be placed, has given me the following anecdote in confirmation :—At the period of the last election for the Monmouth boroughs, he had occasion to call on Mr. Frost, and, having ob tained admission through the outward doorway, he pro ceeded, as was his wonted custom, to the study, which he entered without having previously knocked for ad mission : upon his opening the door, he found Mr. Frost closeted with three of the most influential Tories (one of them a Magistrate for the county), and engaged in looking over some papers. The Tories soon afterwards left, and then Frost said, turning to his friend, " We have been looking over the poll-books, and Blewitt will be 40 behind." His friend, upon hearing this, expressed a doubt, to which he replied, in an exulting manner, " He will, for we have gone carefully through the lists." Several prisoners were brought from the hills yester day morning and last evening. Roger Davis, shop keeper, of Blackwood, for whose apprehension a reward of 251. had been offered, was brought down, having been taken at Canterbury on his way to Dover. Amongst the prisoners were Moses Horner, William Horner, and Thomas Davies, who, after evidence had been heard, were remanded till Monday. LAYING A GHOST.—A mechanic, named Tif ner, residing in Vine-street, Lambeth, was last night taken into custody, for frightening the lieges, by play ing at leap-frog among the tombstones in the burying ground of Christ Church, Surrey. The fellow was dressed in whine, and a large crowd had collected, to have a peep at the " ghost." The sexton, armed with a stout cudgel, took very effectual means to " lay" hit ghostsbip. The culprit will figure before the Magis trates to-day at. Union-Ball police-office. Within the last month two other persons have been caught practis ing the same freak. _ _ On Sunday morning, at about one o'clock, a man who had been found dead in Princes-steet, West minster, was taken by some police constables of the A division to St. Margaret's workhouse. He appeared to be of a very advanced age, and had scarcely a rag to cover him. Some persons who accompanied the body, said that the wretched man had died of hunger. On 11;s, person was found a card, and it a ppeared that his name was Briant. Many thousands of acres of land are inundated to the depth of several feet in the neighbourhood of Gains• borough, in- consequence• of the. incessant rains which have f a ll en . The marshes and the low lands have the appearance of a _sea, being one continued .sheet of water.—Lincoln Mercury. . We differ with some of our Correspondents who argue that the present harv es t i s more deficient than that of 1816—the most frightf u l y ea r, perhaps, upon record. Nay, though the quality of the grain, parti cularly wheat, is much worse than last year, we are disposed to infer that, in quantity, the present year is, at least, equal to the last —some will assert superior, judging from the advance of the duties, and from the quantity poured into the market. We do not think that this would be an unexceptional criterion, because, though the last harvest was short, it was not damaged. What keeps the averages down and is raising the duties, at present, is the immense—the tremendous quantity of bad grain thrown upon the market,the extreme quotations, per quarter, for wheat, varying from 20s. to 735. But, of the quantity sold, the great bulk is inferior, not only in London, but throughout England. Had Ireland been taken into the system—that is to say, had the Irish prices been added to the English, and the average struck as it ought to be, from the entire of the produce of the United Kingdom, the wheat average last week, instead of being 675. 2d., would be scarcely 58s.—for, though wheat has suffered much in England, the damage is quit() inconsiderable compared with the deficiency in Ireland. Here three-fourths of the wheat has been sent to the markets in a damaged state—to such an amount, that the distillers, having supplied themselves in a great measure, have ceased to purchase, and the consquence is, that the deteriorated corn is falling, while the good grain still continues to fetch a fair price. Now, until the entire of the bad article is consumed —a consummation that will take place kefore Christmas —the averages will continue descending. We do not imagine, however, they will fall much lower, or that the duty upon wheat will be much higher than twenty shillings. But that as soon as the bad is out of the market, and out it is going fast, the averages will rise again, and the duties descend, there is no doubt what ever. This re-action may occur, and we think it will begin to manifest its tendency before Christmas. After, the thing is certain.—Dublin Evening Post. MINISTERIAL REASONS FOR THE DISSOLUTION OF THE SPANISH CORTES. "TO THE QUEEN REGENT. SENORA—Your responsible advisers would not worthily answer the confidence which you have reposed in them, if they did not in the present serious moment raise their voice to the Throne, to declare the evils which oppress and menace the nation, as well as the remedies which they think ought to be employed to prevent them. Your Majesty may recollect the state of the natio n when the present Ministry took possession of office with the hope of giving peace to the country. A war of five years had exhausted every resourc e ; without funds or magazines, the revenue was unable to meet the exi gencies, and the prolongation of the war rendered those wants more and more afflicting. The army suf fered infinite privations. Subsidies of blood in men and horses had been voted, without wherewithal to clothe, equip, or even arm them. The least demand could not be complied with. Contracts of supply had expired without possibility of renewal. The principal contributions, the extraordinary one of war, produced nothing for months but paper ; and all this at a critical moment, when an energetic force was requisite to procure those results which the salvation of the cause demanded, and which might be for warded by delay. The duration of the war had pro duced deep rancour and perturbation all over the Penin sula, reprisals and horrors, the result not of the Spanish character, but of the long struggle of five years. Our coasts were assailed by various enemies. Andalusia was threatened by rebellion, of which the occurrences of Alhucemas, Ceuta, and Melilla were certain symptoms. The enemy projected an armament to surprise the capital, and the greatest resolution and firmness were required to carry on the war in the face of such things. To terminate the war, and prepare such laws as might be discussed under such circumstances, were the efforts of the Ministry ; success or non-success being no proof of its loyal zeal. The Cortes might have given great support. The renown and patriotism of its Members were su perior to the difficulties of the epoch ; but their wishes in this conjuncture are known and thought to be for the best. Your Ministers cannot have the presumption to subject the wishes and acts of the Cortes to their judg ment. On the contrary, they would be the first to respect them. But the ardour of minds, and continued discus sions on irrelevant points and subjects not tending to the termination of the war, contradicted the Cabinet, and led to the intervention of the Royal prerogative. The campaign continued ; exasperation continued ; danger grew with impatience; general discontent began to appear, and_ a single act of imprudence and disorder at that time might have defeated all the plans and hopes of terminating the war. Other serious circumstances and causes were added. The success of the war was re tarded. The electoral question distracted, but did not tranquillise, men's minds. Attention was fixed to the war and its termination. Under this impression took pla ce t h e e l ect i ons . A Cortes was elected to finish the war. But by the time they met an unheard of event had changed the aspect of things. The condition of the . electi ons c h ange d. Ought the will of the nation in consequence to be again consulted ? Criticism and policy will decide, or has already judged, this question. After such a c h ange , it is c lear the na tion ought again to be consulted. Nevertheless, the Government convoked t h e C ortes , an d di scuss i ons opened ; still the Government was attacked, in despite of its having been most fortunate. The Ministry held in its hands the threads of general pacification. Could it have resigned, and thereby marred that pacifi cation ? Criticism and policy will decide the question. At the same time that Deputies and Senators arrived from the provinces, an infinity of documents arrived with them from these provinces, approving their Government. The Senate also approved the march of the Govern ment. But this satisfaction was counterbalanced by at- tacks from the other Chamber. It was not the Govern ment which created this conflict between the two Cham bers. Ministers offered to resign, and thus to put an end to the conflict between the two bodies ; they advised her Majesty to make use, though but for a limited time, of her Constitutional Prerogative, that is, to prorogue. But when this conciliatory resolution was taken and about to be published, one of the two Chambers, hurried en by zeal with a determination which complicated the question, rendered it inevitable to di,solve. Against the intention of the Chamber itself no doubt and of the electors, the question of non-payment of taxes was raised, and thrown in the way of the royal prerogative. This rendered the dissolution still more unavoidable. Your Majesty's Government felt it right not to omit any means for bring ing to completion the great work of pacification. Their duty is to preserve order, procure the means of final triumph, and tranquillize the Spanish people re specting the preservation of theii:institi4ions. Neither ' your Majesty nor your Majesty's Ministers can. have any other thought than the salvation of the State, and the preservation of the Throne and Constitution.

In consequence of the late heavy rains, many of the low lands of the county have been completely flooded, and much stock has been injured or destroyed. Several small bridges have also been damaged by the swelling of the rivers. In some places where fords run across public roads, there has been great danger in cross ing them, and a few days since an accident, nearly at tended with fatal consequences, happened at the ford across the Cohn, between Huxham and Stoke Canon.

ALLEGED FORGERY.— The investigation of an extraordinary case of alleged forgery is now going on before the connty magistrates at Chandos House, in which the parties implicated, who come from the neigh bourhood of Frame, stand charged with forging leases and letters of a dministration, & c., for the purpose of raising a large sum of money, which, it is said, they have obtained by means of the device. The deeds and documents are said to be executed with so much skill and exactness as to be capable of imposing upon any member of the profession. We think it imprudent to name particulars until the investigation is closed._ Bath Herald. The Chartists are tnaking some stir in the vicinity of Manchester, and the Northern Star, O'Con nor's paper, recommends the holding of another Na tional Convention. LOYALTY .—Many Societies of secret orders and other Benefit Societies, in Kendal and its neigh bourhood, have already begun to renovate their old and get new regalia, to show their love of loyalty to our youthful Queen in the splendid processions which are expected to honour the forthcoming nuptial-day of her Majesty and Prince Albert. This is as it should be, and, we doubt not, will be general.---Lancaster Guar dian. - • In the iron works may be found men of all the races which Britain can number among her children. English, Scotch, and Irish, in all their countless provincial vane ties, are of course attracted to those districts by the facility of obtaining employment, and a talented corres pondent calls our attention to the fact that the watch words used were English. The secresy of the proceed ings is attributed by the London papers to the use of the Welsh language, of which the upper classes are mostly ignorant ; but this supposition is completely answered by the number of people of other tongues arrested on charges connected with the lamentable affair. We think that it is by no means difficult to account for the ease with which an immense body of people, spread over a wide tract of country, were able to conceal their common intentions. It has been so much the habit of the aristocracy of this country to view with suspicion every attempt made by persons of the middle class to enlighten their working neighbours on political or other subjects, that the two classes have become completely isolated ; for any man, dependent on trade for his livelihood, to attempt to in struct his fellow-countrymen in political knowledge, was to be put down for a demagogue and persecuted accord ingly. The result of this suicidal policy is now seen ; the working men have been consigned to the leadership of men of desperate views, who have been able to con ceal the workings of their designs as effectually as if car ried on in a foreign country, And we fear that the evil ends not here—an unnatural and bitter feeling of animo sity between the different classes of our people has been sown, and which the late events will in nowise assist to eradicate.—Silurian. We can say this for our countrymen, that, upon the whole, they are well disposed to profit by any instruc tion that may be afforded them by tht State, being by nature and ancient habits religious, grave, earnest, and full of gratitude. It ought by no means to be inferred from what has just taken place at Newport and in the hill districts, that the Welsh, from having been the most loyal and patriotic people in the whole empire, are become the reverse. Not at all—they have been be trayed into error—they have missed the right way—but their feelings are warm and pure still, and they require nothing but knowledge in order to re-assume their former character. We trust, therefore, that Ministers will no longer defer the performance of their duty, as it regards the education of the people. We say their duty, because, from the first foundation of civil society, it has always by wise legislators and statesmen been esteemed a principal object of Goverment to provide for the moral training and intellectual enlightenment of those under its rule ; and if this were true in ordinary times, in seasons of peace and tranquillity, much more evident is its truth now, when the greatest wisdom is needed to check the rapid tendency towards political dissolution.—Cambrian. The alarm felt at Cardiff on the memorable 4th and sth of November displayed itself exactly in the way we should have anticipated, from the inhabitants of that respectable and important town. Tories, Whigs, Ra dicals, Liberals of every grade, were all on the alert to make common cause in defending property, and up holding the laws, by which both property and person arc protected. Not a word was heard in defence, or even extenuation, of the physical-force Chartists ; no thing but execration against the outrages, and the authors of the outrages, at Newport, even among 'tnen known to espouse Chartist politics. The Cardiff men may well con gratulate each other on the most efficient and formidable of political unions—the union of loyal and tried men of all parties, against every attempt at the subversion of law ful government, and every act of aggression upon the peace of the community. Great fears prevailed in the neighbourhood among the peaceably disposed workmen, in consequence of the terrorism practised by the Chartists, who pressed men into their ranks, without compunction, and by the most reckless violence. In many instances, men quitted their habitations, and lurked among the Hills all night, out of the way of these lawless vi sitors : so great was their aversion to such fellowship, that they preferred braving the night-winds and the chilling rains of this inclement season, to encounter ing the hurricane of these turbulent spirits, beneath the shelter of their own roofs.—Merlin. The Torp prints make a great vapouring, about the necessity of inquiry into the origin and extent of the Chartist insurrection in South Wales, implying that her Majesty's Government will be reluctant to institute such inquiry. We ardently hope the inquiry will be prompt and searching, whatever be the result. With out a minute analysis of the causes which produced so extensive, dangerous, and injudicious an organiza tion of discontented 'masses, public confidence cannot be permanently restored. We have our own theory upon the subject ; and if facts should bear us out, all we choose at present to say upon it, is, that the Con servative demagogues of our day, will have no cause to congratulate themselves on the investigation.—The Welshman. In the midst of the terror and alarm which the late insurrection has caused, and which is constantly repre sented in the English papers as " The Rising of the Welsk»zen," it is consolatory to remark, that—however many of our misguided countrymen who understand English listened to and followed the insidious reason ings of those sowers of Chartism, Frost and Vincent— Chartism is not the production of Wales, nor planted there by the Natives ; nor do we believe the leaders of it have ever been able to establish it firmly where the Welsh language alone was spoken, from the impossibi bility of making their opinions palatable to the ❑atives. But where they were sufficiently acquainted with Eng- lish to be led astray by the arguments of their corruptors there it took the firmest hold ; but, happily, their eyes have opened to the horrible consequences of the experi ment they were induced to try, by the fatal effects of their first step in the road of bloodshed and sedition. INlay our people rest for the future, contented with their own legitimate interests (their music, their language, and their poetry), and never more be seduced by the specious tongues of English rebels, whose only objects are anarchy and confusion. It is not long since a letter appeared in these columns, saying that " if Chartism was not to be encouraged," then it was highly necessary the heads of the Church should provide Welsh pastors for the people ; and we are confident that if the Welsh had not been deprived, in too many instances, of their native clergy, the evil would not have spread as it has done.—South Wales Advertiser. " THE MARINE OFFICER," By SIR ROBERT STEELE. The spirited and highly amusing Sketches which constitute the chief portion of the above-named officer's new work, will doubtless excite much - attention Among the United Services, and particularly among that important branch of them to which many of the details more immediately relate., But the absolute reality of everything which is told by the gallant knight of his va rious adventures " by flood and field," and still more the numerous reminiscences of the most important and striking events, both naval and military of the late war, will give to these volumes an attraction as universal as the interest and excitement of the stirring times and themes of which they present so entertaining a series of illustrations. EXTRAORDINARY CASE. —A man and a woman were brought up at the Borough Court, Man• chester, on Thursday last, and, from the evidence given, it appeared, that an incestuous intercourse had existed. between them, the female being the wife of the male prisoner's brother. A. child was, it seems, born on the sth instant, one of the fruits of this intercourse, and afterwards taken away from the woman by the man. On the man being asked where the child was domiciled, and whether he was disposed to tell all he knew about it, he replied, that it was not in Manchester—that it was among his friends, but, that he would not, let the con sequences be what they might to him, give any further information. The Court remanded him till the next day, and intimated that his liberation, or otherwise, would depend on the information he then might give. The man with great earnestness, replied, that he would not, under any circumstances, ever g ive any further informa tion. If there is any truth in Lavater, or in phrenology, he will, to all appearances, keep his resolve. LLANDOVERY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.— The annual General Meeting and Cattle Show of the Llandovery District Agricultural Society took place at Llandovery, on Wednesday, the 13th inst. Several excellent and instructive speeches were delivered by th e President and other friends, elucidated by facts which had proved the beneficial results of an union between theory and practice, in the pursuits of the several branches of agriculture, particularly in adhering to tur nips and other green crops draining, manure, &c. " Cultivate your ground well—it will furnish you with good food for your cattle, and your stock will improve accordingly." The hilarity of the evening was kept up with much spirit to a late hour, and before the company separated the annual ploughing match (which gave so much zest to the Society last February) was announced to take place some time next February. The proceed ings o f the day passed off with much eclat and will long be held in remembrance by all present.—Canzbrian. PENNY POSTAGE.-- An erroneous impression seems to have been taken up in some quarters, that the fourpenny rate is substituted for the - penny rate.

It would have been rather outre for her Majesty to have pledged herself for the sound Protes- tantism of Prince Albert's progenitors. The precedent is not in point. In the secluded education of a young Princess, the religion of an " illustrious line" may be reckoned upon as a family inheritance. A man like Prince Albert must answer for himself. Amongst many other amiable qualities, report assigns him that of boing a devout Protestant. But unless her Ma jesty's choice was decided by that °not very peculiar or rare circumstance, neither precedent nor propriety required any allusion to it. The impudent assertion of a Tory newspaper, that her Majesty spent her time at Windsor in " amorous dalliance with a Papist," had not sufficiently answered the purpose of its infamous fabricators to require a contradic tion. When George 111. ascended the throne, there were many circumstances leading to his allusion to the Protestant family of his intended bride that have since ceased to exist, or been altogether changed. The great political colli s io n between Governments adhering to the old ;:religion and to the new, yet agitated Europe. Protestantism and Popery were the basis of alliances, or the occasions of warfare. The policy and power of this country, as they had descended from Elizabeth through Cromwell and King William, still marked her prominent position in the Protestant party of nations against the Catholic. The later years of Queen Anne's reign had furnished cause of alarm to those who prized freedom of conscience as not the least precious portion of their Protestant religion. And there existed a Roman Catholic Pretender to the Crown, patronized abroad, and as subsequent events demonstrated, formi dable at home. The grumbler in the Times writes like an Ephesian sleeper, who is not sufficiently awake to remember that the present time is not the middle of the eighteenth century. He needs to be reminded that the revolutionary wars swamped the old theological demarcation of States ; that alliances are now cemented by very different aims and inte rests from those which then prevailed; that the last of the Stuarts has long slept with his fathers be neath the monument raised to him by George IV. ; that Toryism, by extending toleration to Popery, has testified to an inevitable change of domestic policy ; and that the complaint, therefore, of her Majesty's not repeating or imitating the words of her Royal grandfather is alike fictitious and factious. Our Contemporary demands whether it be desired " to cast misgivings across the people's joy, and cloud the prospect of a Protestant succession ?" The voice of the oracle is mysterious. In the visible horizon, no cloud appears over the prospect of a Protestant succession. The star of Hanover, in deed, is dim ; and hence the " misgivings" of those who look towards it with wistful e y es , clouded by their grief, and hopeless of any Protestantism so well fitted to their peculiar taste as that of the ex-Grand Master of Orange Lodges. Perhaps, too, they deprecate a time when the pretence of loyalty can no longer claim shelter under its heartfelt " recognition of the rights of the heir-presumptive." The chief reason assigned for blaming the alleged omission in her Majesty's declaration ' is a very singular one. It is confessed, in the strongest terms, that not the slightest ground of suspicion or apprehension can exist as to the Protestant faith of her Majesty or that of Prince Albert. But it is argued that a Protestant " pledge" would have been very satisfactory and gratifying to those " extrava gant and wine-warmed individuals" whose speeches, applauded by a disloyal faction, have excited the notion " that there exists among the Conservatives an ultra- Protestant wish to see the present heir presumptive in actual possession of the Crown." Our readers will ad mire, in this quotation, the exquisite gentleness of the Times vocabulary. Treason, civil war, forced abdica tion, and foul usurpation, only answer in its candid co lumns to the " soft impeachment" of being " ultra- Protestant." To imagine and " wish to see" all this enormity, is simply reckoned, by cur orthodox Contem porary, a rather excessively religious spirit, a sort of being " righteous over-much." And he contends that, on the late occasion, it. was the " bounden duty" of Ministers to have introduced into her Majesty's decla ration something to conciliate these amiable " ultra- Protestants." Yes, something to conciliate the Brad shaws, the Robys, the Thomases, the Smythes, and the Greggs! Something to "disabuse that mistaken class !" An apology, as it were, frnm the Sovereign to them, in return for their having made her unsullied name the mark of slanderous and seditious speeches! They would have travestied Shylock's complaints into a royal declaration— " Fair Sir, you spit at me on Wednesday last; Kicked at me such a day ; on such a day You called me dog ; and for these courtesies" I tender you my " pledge" that myself and my in tended bridegroom are both of your " ultra" religion. And by the omission of some such " gratifying refer ence to Protestantism," we are assured that a " new slight" is " flung upon the Protestant Church and peo ple." Without further reference to the monstrous im pudence of the claim thus made, we cannot but rejoice that the Royal declaration is not disfigured by what could only at best have been an impertinence. The religion of the illustrious parties is out of question, and beyond questio . n. Why introduce it when it could give no additional assurance to any reasonable person, but when it must have impaired the universal feeling of unreserved and heartfelt gratulation? Very ill adapted was the occasion for reminding millions of true subjects that the Sovereign is, both by national law and personal convic tion, of a different religion from that which they hold , and very ill adapted for any occasion would have been any Royal notice of, or concession, to, the " extravagant and wine-warmed individuals," who cherish the " ultra- Protestant wish to see the present heir presumptive in actual possession of the Crown." (From the Morning Post.) The man whose political influence is all-powerful with the present Ministers of Queen Victoria—the man whose influence is such that these Ministers do not dare upon any occasion to mention the Established Church with respect, or to omit any occasion of deal ing heavy blows and great discouragement upon Pro testantism—has recently appeared in Dublin in his true character of an audacious heggarman. He has not, in deed, the honesty and straightforwardness to come out into the streets with his hat in his hand and solicit halfpence like other beggars, with inferior powers for mischief. No, he does not do this—he hunts his bea gles, and has his private theatricals at his house in the country, from whence at business hours he despatches his missives to control the Government of Queen Vic toria, and to heap injury and insult upon the national re ligion of England. But while thus occupied in busi ness, or amusement, he has his creatures in Dublin actively engaged in preparing for the grand day of combined intimidation and beggary, which is fixed for the Bth of next month. On that day (being Sunday) the " Tribute" for 1839 is to be collected. Three persons, who sign themselves Trustees and Se cretary, have sent forth their authoritative notice on i the subject of this begging business. They noti y the day for the new beggary, and state, or affect to state, the result of precedingbeggings of ;he same kind. They say that the gross amount received for 1836 and 1837 was 14,7271., and " from the latter year to /: k o vember, 1839," 10,6 531 . Then they .begin to remark upon what they call " the deficie nc y " in the following strain, which we think may be considered prodigious impudence even for Irish beggars to have ventured upon : " The deficiency is attributable not to any reduction in the collection derived from those parishes which sustain the funds with patriotic continuity, but to the total absence of some localities whose permanent support had been con fidently calculated upon. The default is, however, known to have arisen solely from temporary circumstances. It will in the present instance be fully repaired,' and a total , s qual at least to the joint amount of the two sums set forth above cannot fail to be realised. Indeed, one shil ling each, had from one million of persons, would achieve fifty thousand pounds; and be. it remembered that the Liberals of Ireland exceed seven millions." How modest the tone of the above ! How humble the expectations of these beggars ! Only five-and :twenty thousand and some odd hundred pounds " con fidently.calculated upon" for the mendacious mend'. or two in the Raphael robbery Tine of business. (From the Morning Advertiser.) The present deranged state of the Money Marbet, and the consequent injury which trade and conlnvwse are suffering, have directed public attention in a speioikci manner to the subject of our currency. It seems to le admitted on all hands, that a metallic currency is not adequate to the exigencies of so great a commercial country as Great Britain ; and that a recurrence must be made in some shape or other to a paper circulation. The only point on which a diversity of opinion exists, is as to the principles on which a paper currency ought to be established ; at least from ten to twelve theories on the subject. We have not space to enter into the various notions which prevail as to the principles .on which a paper currency ought to be grounded. Nei ther is this necessary, as some of them carry the impress of absurdity and impracticability on their very face. One of the most feasible schemes, on the first blush of the matter—though even to it, with the limited consi deration we have been able to bestow upon it, we are not prepared to commit ourselves —one, we say, of the most feasible plans which have been proposed for esta blishing a healthier and safer system of currency is that which was originally put forward by /gr. T. Joplin in 1523, and which that gentleman has repeatedly brought before the public since that period. In a very able and intelligent pamphlet, entitled " Our Monetary System," which he has published within the last few days, Mr. Joplin again brings under the consideration of the community the same system, with some slight modifications. We will allow Mr. Joplin, who, we ought to mention, is the author of various talented treatises and pamphlets on similar subjects, to develope his views in his own words. He proposes— " 1. That on a certain day all the bank notes in the United Kingdom, whether issued by private or joint-stock banks, including those of the Banks of England and Ire land, shall become the current money of the realm, she same as the metallic currency. " 2. That parties holding them may receive cash for them at the Bank of England, or may obtain from any of the banks by which they are issued, a draft, to be termed a bullion bill, upon the Bank of England for the amount of them ; for which draft or bill he may either receive coin or bank of England notes, at his option ; or he may present it to any other bank of issue in the kingdom and receive their notes for it. " 3. That notes received in purchase of a bu!lioh bill shall be cancelled ; and that such bill, if not paid in coin or bullion by the Bank of England, shall be paid by a fresh issue of notes, either .by the Bank of England, or by any other bank of issue in England, Ireland, or Scot land, to which it may be presented. " 4. That the Bank of England shall purchase all bul lion presented to it by a fresh issue of notes, or by A re ceipt, which shall be an order upon any other batik in England, Ireland, or Scotland, to which it shall be pre sented for payment, to be paid by a fresh issue of notes. " 5. That each bank shall become indebted to the Go vernment for the amount of its circulation, and such fur ther amount as may be necessary for its till. "6. That a Boa - rd of Commis - sioners shall be established in London, to settle and conduct the details of the plan, on such conditions, and with such powers, as Parliament shall determine." Mr. Joplin then proceeds to snake some explanatbry observations, and to point out the results which he con ceives would flow from the adoption of his plan " The general proposition (he says) embraced in this plan is, that the power of issuing notes at pleasure is to be taken from the banks by which the currency is at pre sent issued, and that hereafter there shall be no alter:Kim in the amount of the circulation, except such as would be produced by an importation and exportation of the pre cious metals, if the currency were metallic: and this prin ciple being adopted, the great object will be obtained. I have proposed the arrangements with respect to bullion bills, &c., with a view to simplify the practical application of the principle ; but any other arrangement may bo equally well adopted that shall appear more convenient. " The advantage of making the existing issuers of the currency the future agents in the management upon it, upon terms advantageous to themselves, is obvious. It will prevent anything like derangement in carrying the plan into effect ; the public will know no other difference, than that the bank notes they may hold will possess a higher degree of credit ; while, from the moment the plan is adopted, all further derangements in the Money Market, from the operation of the exchanges, will be at an end; as the influx and reflux of the precious metals will take place, totally independent of, and unconnected with it." As we observed before, we have not bestowed suffi cient attention on the subject to be able to pronounce any decided opinion on the merits of Mr. Joplin's plan. This, however, we can say with confidence, that it is oae which, not less from its seeming feasibility than from the author's reputation as a writer on such sub jects, is entitled to the serious consideration of the Government and the Legislature. What strikes us as the greatest objection to it is the complicated ma chinery by which Mr. Joplin proposes to carry his views into effect. To make all the banks throughout the country banks of issue, would, we apprehend, be attended with great inconvenience. We doubt exceed ingly whether this part of Mr. Joplin's plan would work with the regularity and produce the beneficial re sults which he anticipates. Why, above all tinge ; include the private banks among those on whom he would confer the privilege of issuing notes, when it its clear that in a very short time they will be all swallowed op by the joint-stock banks ? Private banks are obvi ously unsuited to the spirit 'of the age and the progress of commerce in this country. Would it not, moreover, be a much more preferable plan to have one great Go vernment establishment, to be called a Nation:l Bank, which alone should have the power of issuing notes, the issues being, of course, made under proper regu lations? This, it appears to us, would greatly simplify the thing, and insure a far greater regularity in 'air monetary system than could be effected by any other plan. Mr. Joplin does not expressly state whether his system of an improved currency includes a recurrence to a small note circulation. We presume it does ; for a gentleman of his intelligence on the subject of our monetary system must long before now have perceived that without the re-adoption of one-pound notes, no plan for improving our currency can be effectual. Mr. Joplin's pamphlet, which is published by Mr. Ridgway, appears at a very seasonable moment. It cannot fail to attract attention, add it will certainly well reward the most careful consideration which can be bestowed upon it. (From the Morning Herald.)

In deed Ministers copied the very words of the last sen tence of the address of that Monarch to his Council, although they shut their eyes, and also closed the Queen's lips as to the pledge of fervent and unalterable attachment to the Protestant religion, contained in the sentence that preceded it. We say " the Ministers,' because it would neither be true in fact, nor constitu tional in principle, to treat the address of her Majesty as other than the composition of her responsible ad. visers.
