DRURY-LANE THEATRE The Siege qf Corinth, an English version of Rossini's Aelssedio di Corinto, was brought out last night with great splendour. This opera has been a very Protons in its variety of shapes. It appeared first of all at Naples, in 1820, under the title of Maonictto Secondo. The drama, founded on Lord Byron's poem, was written by the Duke di Ventignano, who was probably indebted to his high rank for a consider able share of poetical reputation. Though the composer was then in the hey-day of his fame, and the noble poet was admired by his countrymen as their greatest dramatist, the piece was coldly received, and laid aside. Three years afterwards it was revived at Venice, Rossini having en gaged to recompose the second act, which had been con demned as the feeblest part of it. The maestro, however, in his usual fashion, thought nothing of his promise, and, as the day of performance approached without any appear ance of his fulfilling it, the rehearsals became scenes of discord between him and the managers, which rose to such a height, that on one occasion they appealed to the Aus trian bayonets, and Rossini was conveyed to durance vile. The public were aware of these squabbles, in which they interested themselves with Italian ardour ; and on the first night of performance the audience were ripe for a row. The theatre was crowded at an early hour ; the general ery was that the managers had produced an old, condemned opera ; and when it was discovered that all Rossini's altera tions consisted of two or three trifles taken from his other works, the storm broke out in all its violence. The piece, however, was played out, the audience being determined to discharge their anger upon the poor performers, whom, from seven in the evening till three next morning, they hooted and abused without mercy. Our countrymen Sinclair, we bc ilieve, was one of the victims of this misdirected fury, wh i ch I : this country would never have been submitted to by a body or :lerformers who had no part in the offence. arils the Venetians could not bear For a long time afier;:' the name of Rossini, nor wc;:±kl listen to any of his music. In 1826, after he had taken up .!iis abode in Paris, he brought out a French version of his piece, under the title of Le Siege de Corinthe. It was considerably altered, both in the drama and music. Having met with success, the French piece was rendered again into Italian ; and L'Asse dio di Corinto is well known to the frequenters of the Opera house. Its success, however, even with the powers of Grisi, Tamburini, and Lablache, was by no means bril liant ; and, though it certainly contains a great deal of beautiful music, we never should have thought of selecting it for adaptation to the English stage. But the Drury-lane manager has thought differently, and perhaps wisely, if we may judge from its reception last night. The English drama is written by Mr. Planche, and fol lows Lord Byron more closely than the Italian or French pieces, instead of 114ahomet the Second being the besieger of Corinth, and the lover of the governor's daughter, Mr. Planche has introduced Lord Byron's own hero, Alp, the Venetian renegade, in these capacities, and thus has avoided the ludicrous absurdity of making the savage Ottoman Em peror enact the part of a preztx chevalier. At the open ing of the piece, the Turkish troops, commanded by Alp, are on the point of assaulting Corinth, which is defended by Cleomenes, the governor, Niocles, and a brave Greek garrison. Cleomenes wishes to bestow the hand of his daughter Francesca upon Niocles, but she had loved Alp before his apostacy, and is not aware of his present charac ter. The assault takes place, and is partly successful— the defenders being driven into the citadel, and Cleomenes and his daughter captured. An impassioned scene of re cognition takes place between the lovers, which ends in Alp setting the father at liberty, and retaining in his hands the daughter. In the second act, Niocles enters the Turkish camp on a mission of defiance from the defenders of the citadel ; and Alp, finding his mis tress resolute in her abhorrence of his apostacy, dis misses her along with Niocles. The third act differs entirely from the Italian piece,,and is much superior. Fran cesca, having sacrificed her love to religion and patriotism, returns broken-hearted, and dies of grief. Then the inci dent takes place which is so striking a feature in Lord Byron's poem. Alp, in his night-watch before the final at tack, is visited by the spirit of Francesca, who warns him of his approaching fate, and urges him to reconcile himself to Heaven. He is obdurate, and the spirit vanishes. In the morning he leads his troops to the assault ; the governor blows up the citadel ; and the assailants and defenders perish in the ruins. This piece has the attraction which the Italian Opera wanted, of beinc , a most magnificent spectacle. The sce nery is beautiful, and the assault upon the town and de struction of the citadel, are managed with extraordinary skill and effect. The music of the first and second act is almost entirely that of the original piece ; but in the third act the greater part of it seems to be new, and not at all in the style of Rossini. The most striking musical effects in this opera are contained in the chorusses and concerted pieces. The opening chorus of Greeks is full of fire and martial ardour, and contrasts finely with the pathetic trio, " Unhappy maiden," which mingles with it. The great est beauties of the piece are contained in the finale to the first act. None of the solos are very striking. Miss Shirreff's scena, at the beginninc , of the second act, is a bravura, composed, we think,° by Costa, for the purpose of showing off Grisi's powers of execution ; and Miss Shirreff was rather unhappy in putting herself too much in competition with Grisi in one of her popular songs. The consequence was a failure. On the whole, however, Miss Shirreff sang charmingly, and exhibited great powers, both of execution and expression. Balfe performed the part of Alp with much energy; and in his singing reminded us strongly of Tamburini's in the corresponding part of Maometto. The scene in the last act between Alp and the spirit of Francesca (the words of which are Lord Byron's own) was very finely sung : but the composer of the music (whoever he is) has not been able to realize a wild and un earthly conception, which it would have required the genius of Weber to enter into. Templeton sang very well, and acted very poorly, in Niocles ; and Wilson did justice to Cleomenes. The choruses were well supported, and the magnificent orchestra did its duty admirably. In the second act there was a very pretty ballet, in which Mademoiselle Duvernay delighted the audience by the ex quisite grace and elegance of her dancing. Tke house was crowded, and the piece was received throughout, and announced fOr repetition, with the greatest applause. About the middle of the 18th century, a natural, named daft Jamie, lived in the neighbourhood of Denbolm in Roxburghshire, and was occasionally employed by the Laird of Cavers and his brother, Captain Douglas, who re• sided at Midshiels, to transport them on his back across the water, which flowed between their places of abode. One day, Captain Douglas, resolved to have a little fun at the expense of his brother, bribed Jamie with a shilling to let the Laird down in the middle of the water. Accordingly, having taken Cavers on his back, and proceeded with him to the middle of the stream, " Oh, Laird r exclaimed Jamie, standing stock-still, "my kuit's yeuky." " Well, well, never mind that." " Ay, but I maun mind it ;" and, notwith stand'ng orders entreaties, and threats, Jamie plumped the Laird down into the water, to the infinite amusement of the Captain, who stood laughing on the bank, like to split his sides. Jamie soon returned for the Captain, who, think ing of no other trick than his own, immediately mounted, and was carried into the stream. At exactly the same spot, Jamie again stood still. " Noo, Captain," said he, " an' ye dinna gi'e me twa shillings mair, I'll let you doon, too !" It is needless to say that Captain Douglas had to buy himself off from the threatened immersion, besides suffering the re tributive ridicule of his brother.—Kelso Chronicle. On Sabbath last, for the first time in this district of the country, the spectacle was witnessed of a Presbyte rian congregation (the Rev. Mr. Renton's of this town) observing the Lord's Supper without any of the extra sir mons or services which are common at the celebration of that ordinance, among Presbyterians of all denominations in Scotland. The preachings, as they are termed, on the Saturday and Monday, and even the additional sermon on the Sabbath evening, which are customary upon such an occasion, were all dispensed with. There was no plurality of communion services, and no assistant minister. The whole body of communicants, although one of the most numerous in the south of Scotland, engaged in the sacred observance at one time. The bread and the cup were not dispensed together but separately, and thanksgiving was offered before the distribution of the latter as well as be fore the former, according to the inspired words of the in stitution. All the services of the day were conducted by the minister of the congregation, and concluded within a few rainutes beyond the ordinary time alloted to public wor ship. We understand from several persons who were pre lent that the spectacle of so large a multitude communicat ing at ono time, together with the perfect stillness and order which prevailed th roug h ou t a ll the parts of worship, contrasting strongly with the movement and bustle so com mon at sacraments, w h ere t h ere are a num b er o f deta c h e d services, conspired to ren d er t h e e ff ec t o f th e w hole v er y impressive.—Kelso Chronicle. WINE DRINKING IN SPAlN.—Whatever may be said of the abstemiousness of the Spaniards, it must be ad mitted that no people on earth partake of the joys and luxuries of the table with more undisguised gusto, or drink more wine without its having the slightest visible effect ; not that either 3VN possesses that hibaceous propensity which this circumstance would imply, that strength of head or stomach must, therefore, ho in •sonic degree constitu tiodecanters of wino, flasks of n a l.Amidstchampagne, and e v.als;dr.efids o iced punch flying about, on this (a grand ball) and similar occasi ons , w h en t h e h our for re suming dancing arrived, not . one Spaniard could be seen even in that first stage of inebriety, ca ll e d " e l e vated," while ihany and many a British officer found in the fluency of his tongue all that be hi gl Jost in the steadiness of his gait in the " first set after supper." This seems an eYytra ordinary quality in the Spanish temperament, CHURCH-RATES AT BUN GAY ST. MARY. Yesterday (Tuesday) a Vestry Meeting was held, pur suant to notice, for the purpose of laying a Church-rate. The Dissenters abstained from attending, but deputed two of their number—one to protest against the proceedings, and the other to report them. Mr. COBB, the Deputy Curate, took the Chair; and when he had read the notice for convening the Vestry, Mr. SAMUEL SCOTT rose, and stated that the Church wardens had called the meeting in order to make a rate for their general legal expenses ; and in doing this he did not conceive lie was calling upon them to follow an unjust or un-Christian course. He intended to fulfil his duty as an officer of the Church in a Christian spirit, and he should not stop to notice the unjust imputations which had been thrown upon them of unjust or unworthy motices. He called upon the vestry to do that which they had a just and legal right to do. The expenses of the Churchwardens he estimated as under, and with the balance in hand, a rate of 3d. in the pound would be sufficient : Fees of Archdeacon's Visitation £3 4 6 Clerk, beadle, sweeping the Church, washing the linen, and bread and wine for the Communion, candles, coals, &c 2O 10 0 In the Church-yard, rent, mowing, and locking the gates Repairs in the fabric l3 0 0 Expenses of the Irestiqr, and of the Registries..." 2 7 0 Collecting and confirming the Rate £43 1 10 ROBERT BUTCHER, rsq., moved that a rate of 3d. i❑ the pound be granted. Mr. W. COCK seconded it—and it was immediately passed. Mr. JoIIN WEIISTtIi said, that he rose for the purpose of protesting, in the name of the Dissenters in the parish, against this rate, as an unjust and wicked impost. The present proceedings were directed by the spirit which had shed all the blood, and urged on all the persecution for conscience-sake, since the time of the eighth Henry. The history of the Church was written in tears and blood, and Churchmen were now consistently manifesting the same spirit which it had shown in the times of their worthy King Henry, Elizabeth, Charles whom they called a Martyr, and his successor Charles the Second. Mr. B. SAYER—That have nothing to do with it. Mr. WRBSTER—Gentlemen, this act is a purely volun tary one on your part, and it is you who impose it upon us.' Mr. SAYER—If the Dissenters complain of the Church rate, they should petition the Board, and I dare say they will take it off. Mr. WEBSTER—I am astonished you should take steps like these, after what has passed all over the kingdom. Mr. P. WALKER—I am astonished you should have the absurdity to oppose it. A collector of the rate wag then appointed, and Mr. W. Coo; rose, and addressing Mr. Charles Childs, said, that as he was reporting what took place, he hoped he would only state what was said. He held in his hand a report of the last meeting, in which expressions were im puted to him which he had never used. It was printed thus :—" You can't complain on both sides of the church wardens for proceeding against Mr. J. Childs, and not against Mr. Robert Childs. You can't say it is hard on both sides to enforce the rate from one, and ex. cure another." But what he had said was, that if Messrs. Childs complained of persecution against Mr. J. Childs, they could not complain of it in the case of Mr. R. Childs, who had not then been made to pay it. They could not complain of both. Mr. CHARLES Cimos replied, that he was unable to see any difference, in spirit, between the report and the present statement ; but that, if Mr. Cock would allow him to take down his words exactly, or furnish him with a written copy, he would give it publicity—which, however, Mr. Cock de clined. He added, that the whole report complained of had, before publication, been submitted to the inspection of a gentleman of acknowledged impartiality, who had been present, and it was by him entirely approved. This was the first time its accuracy had been questioned, and he could not perceive the value of the correction. Mr. W. DYBALL—Besides, it is very unpleasant to have what we say scrutinized, and sept out in this manner. It was not used to be so ; we used to be quiet and comfortable. Mr. C. CHILDS—I will take a note of your objection. A collector was then appointed, and the rate signed. During the meeting a messenger entered, and inquiring for the Chairman, presented a letter, directed to him. Mr. ROBERT EBBAGE stated that that letter was from Mr. John Childs, for he had seen Mr. Childs give it to the person who brought it ; whereupon the Chairman, without breaking the seal, turned round and threw it in the fire ; and Mr. John Bobbit, the well-known ex-churchwarden, turn ing to the messenger, said—There, you have got your answer. The letter contained a copy of an address which Mr. Childs has written to the Churchmen of St. Mary's, solemnly cau tioning them against the contemplated injustice, and was prefaced with the following note.—" Mr. Childs wishes to leave to have the parishioners assembled in vestry without excuse, if they persist in passing a Church-rate, and lest any person in the parish should not have seen the enclosed letter, Mr. Childs requests the chairman will read it to the meeting. " To the Chairman of the Vestry, St. Mary's, Bungay." A meeting of dissenters was immediately afterwards held, at which it was resolved, 1. That a Church rate having been laid in this parish, we decline voluntary compliance with a demand so ini quitous, and pledge ourselves to adopt all such measures as the law itself furn►shes for resisting its collection. 2. That Delegates be appointed to communicate with the central Church-rate Abolition Society, and to attend the proposed meeting in London, for conference with His Ma jesty's ministers. 3. That Mr. Childs and Mr. Delf be such delegates. CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP OF RIPON. YORK, NOV. 7.—Yesterday having been appointed for the consecration of Dr. Longley, the first Bishop of Rip on , our ancient city presented an animated appearance. The day, although cold, was a fine one, and the sun shone out pleasantly. At an early hour vehicles and equestrians were seen entering all quarters of the town, and at about ten o'clock the avenues leading to the minster, where the cere mony was performed, became thronged with persons anxious to obtain places in the Cathedral. At ten o'clock the gates of the choir were thrown opon, and that part of the church appropriated to divine service was soon filled, excepting the pews which were kept locked (con. trary, if I mistake not, to the law) for a considerable tim e after the service of the day had commenced, for privileged persons. The Lord Mayor and a great portion of the Al dermen and Common Council were present in their scarlet mantles and decorations, and some lawyers attended in their wigs and gowns. The archepiscopal throne, the pulpit, the communion-table, and the desks were hung with crim son velvet ornamented with gold, and a gorgeous service o f altar plate, apparently go ld, heightened the magnificence of the scene. When I add to this a congregation of beauti ful and elegantly dressed women, the brilliancy of whose eyes of course eclipsed all those fine things, "as daylight doth a lamp," you will form some notion of the scene that burst upon the astonished eyes of the candidate for "lawn sleeves " on being conducted from the robing-chambe r into the church—that is, if you can fancy such an assembly in the finest building in England. York Minster is indeed, as Byron said of St. Peter's at Rome—" a fit temple for the Deity." Nothing can exceed the magnificence and g l or y of the eastern window. Its radiance ') dazzles and astounds you at first sight, and you contemplate it with redoubled rapture every time you regard it. The whole is " A Combination and form indeed " Where every God did seem to set his seal." If the ceremonial of consecration failed to produce an effect there, it must be insipid and intolerable elsewhere. At about eleven the archbishop, accompanied by the Bishops of Lincoln and Chester, followed by Dr. Longley and about a half dozen of the minor clergy, entered the church. The bells pealed their merry notes, and the or gan of the cathedral " brayed forth the triumph" in an an• them as the princes of the Church approached. The morning prayer having been read by the minors, the Arch bishop and Bishops proceeded to the altar ; and as soon as the epistle and gospel had been read, the Rev. Mr. Short, appointed to preach the installation sermon, ascended the pulpit. He took his text from Zachariah. It was to this effect—" Not by power, nor by might, nor anything I can do, but by the spirit." The discourse of Mr. Short was remarkable for nothing but brevity. He alluded in a general way to the important duties of a bishop, but as the subject was a delicate one, did not enter into particu lars. He spoke of the CRISIS of affairs in the Church ; how much its existence depended upon the bishops ; but whether in combining with Lord Lyndhurst in the House of Peers or otherwise, he left us to surmise. Once he appeared as if he meant to speak out. He said that there are two sins to which the clergy of the Church of England aro more than any other class of men in the realm exposed, v iz., a varice, and the desire of personal distinctions. There, however, he halted ; the sermon ended ; the bishop elect, vested with his rochet, was presented to the Archbishop, who sat in a chair facing the audience, by the attending Bishops. His Grace demanded the King's mandate, which having been read, the oath of §tremacy and the oath of obedience by the Arclilltsbop o York was taken by Dr. Longley. The prescribed prayers having been read, the Archbishop catechised him, and Dr. Langley replied that he was persuaded he was called to the bishopric " accor ding to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the order of this realm." Dr. Longley then retired and soon returned, dressed in full episcopal habit, still however without a wig. The translation of " Veni Creator" was then sung, the hands of the 4rchbishop and the two other THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 9 18:36, Bishops were laid on his head as Ire knelt, and he arose " Bishop of Ripon !" Tue Dissenters who were present looked upon the exhi bitiln as " flat Popery," as Oliver Cromwell would say, and any person who had seen the consecration of a Itomish Bishop must acknowledge the correctness of the descrip tion. It wanted the dignity and correct getting up of the C. t'iolie pomp, and had far too much of attempt at efict for flose who reject such things as oTensive and profane. It was Flat Popery! The sun on the east oriel shone Thro' slender shafts of shapely stone, By foliaged tracery combined, Thou would'st have thought some fairy's hand 'Twist poplars straight, the osier wand In many freakish knot had twined ; Then framed a spell when the work was done, And changed the willow wreaths to stone. - the light so pale and faint Sham'd many a prophet and many a saint, Whose image on the glass was dyed_ Yet notwithstanding all this, not ten people left the church who were not tired and disappointed. IRELAND. _ DUBLIN, Nov. 7. We perceive by the Mail of this evening, that an inves tigation has been held at Shinrone, informations taken, and warrants issued against sixteen persons charged with the murder of Hogan, the process server, who recently fell at Dunkerrin. Eight of these unfortunate individuals have, it appears, been apprehended, and five of them thrown into the County gaol, and three remain in Birr Bridewell--the rest have fled. The informations are sworn by the police. The alleged fact of some of the poor men accused of being accessory to the death of the process-server will not excite the least surprise in the mind of any man who remembers the gross and revolting injustice which, under the name of law, has been so long and so extensively suffered by the oppressed people of Ireland. It is natural enough that even to innocent men the law, as it has been seen there, should possess terrors fully sufficient to deter men from putting themselves in the way of its operation. J. H. SHELL, Ese.—The Lord Chancellor has appointed J. H. Sheil, Esq., a Mag'strate for Westmeath.

TILE ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY.--A meeting of this so ' ciety took place on Thursday last at their house, Kildare street—Sir R. Shaw, Bart., in the chair. The report from the Special Committee relative to the correspondence with the Treasury during the recess, and on the report and re solutions of the Select Committee of the House of Com mons, extends to a great length. The tone and character of the report may he readily imagined from what the Mail says of it, This factious organ of intolerance, illiberality, and sinister exclusiveness, describes the lengthy document as being, " although very temperate, sufficiently firm, and couched in language suited to the dignity of the Society, and, at the same time, of respect to the Government." The Mail labours hard, by taking some answers from the evidence of Mr. Hamilton and Captain Portlock, to prove that religious intolerance had nothing whatever to do with the exclusion of Doctor Murray; but that Dens's work and the primate's politics led to his rejection by the Society. According to our Orange contemporary, "the direct causes that led to Doctor Murray's exclusion, were the desire to keep clear of a strong political infusion, and the introduc tion of agitation, and also a sense of indignation towards the patron of Dens's abominable Theology." Of course neither bigotry, party feeling, nor prejudice —nor, indeed, any unworthy motive whatever influenced the immaculate Society in their rejection of Dr. Murray. They did not desire to wound and insult that gentleman, nor to beard Lord Mulgrave's Government—not they. DINNER TO DENIS C. BRADY, ESQ., M.P.--This enter tainment took place on Wednesday last. It was conducted in a manner which reflected nearly as much credit on the hosts as on the guest. The spirit of harmony and patriotism which pervaded and characterized the proceedings do honour to the north, and convinces us that even there the principles of genuine liberty and universal philanthropy are making rapid progress. COUNTY or DUBLIN.—In allusion to the information we communicated relative to the early reassembling of Parlia ment, the Mai/ says there must be an election in January, certainly in February. He is quite sure that a Conserva tive will then be returned for the county of Dublin—" if timely exertions be made !" notwithstanding " the atrocious (I) and unjust (!) order issued by Lord Mulgrave, enabling claimants from Swords to register at Ballymore-Eustace, and residents of Rathcoole to repair to Kingstown, has given the Radicals a majority on the last recristrat; .on. ” People do not ordinarily get into a passion, and ' use h ar d words, when the prospect of their s uccess certain ; and we suspect that the Mail knows and fe will not in any event return a Tory..

Ytterday Mr. COVENTRY first gave judgment in the rase of Mr. Thompson, who was objected to in the parish of St. Luke's, Chelsea, as being a mere sub-lessee, not in possession. It appeared, however, that he occupied in con junction with another person, and his goods were on the premises, liable to his landlord's distress ; he should there fore allow the vote. Mr. COVENTRY then gave judgment in the case of the forty vestrymen, who claimed a vote for the county in re spect of property belonging to the parish of Marylebone. The only question he had to decide was, whether the claimants were a corporation. In reference to the pro perty, they had all the attributes of a corporate body, and they could not exercise or enjoy any power or inte rest connected with the estate, except as an entire whole. They were not separately or personally liable for any tax or duty which the estate incurred ; nor could they indi vidually enjoy any privilege belonging to it. This being the case, he must regard the claim only as one entire indivisible whole, and as individual members of a corpo ration, he could not admit them to separate voices in elec tions. There was one of the parties on whom no notice of objection had been served, and there was no power under the Act to erase his name, which must therefore remain.

DISQUALIFICATION I3Y CHANGE OF RESIDENCE.—Mr. KNOX said it was clearly the intention of the Act, that, where the name of a person was entered on the list, it was only necessary for him to show that he still possessed the qualification. He should, therefore, admit all persons who had been objected to upon the ground of change of residence, wherever he was convinced that they continued to possess the qualification for which they had been registered.

On the 21st ult., a dog in a rabid state, which had followed one of the London coaches into Monmouth from some part of the neighbourhood, made a co‘nplete circuit of the town, snapping at every dog which he mat with. The cry " mad dog," was instantly raised, and a pursuit after it commenced by all the boys in the parish, in the course of which a lad in the employ of Mr. Evans, baker, received a bite from the animal on his hand. Surgical as sistance was promptly procured, and the affected part was cauterised. The dog was ultimately driven into Chippen ham Mead, and there destroyed.

FRANCE, PARIS, NOV. 7.—The Mniiteur says nothing of the re solution not to send Prince Louis Napoleon before the Court of Assizes, which the .Tournal de Paris announced yesterday as positive. La Pai.r (of this morning, the 7th) gives some details of the arrests that have taken pliv:e in the Sardieian dominions. It has the following letter from a correspondent at Turin Turin, Oct. 25.—For some days past the police had been on the alert, and the public were at a loss to guess the ground of the alarm. Yesterday a report was spread that Abbe Rapelli, having returned from a journey to France and Switzerland, had been ar rested at Milan, and delivered up to the Sardinian autho ritiei. In the night 20 persons were arrested. The fol lowing are the names which I know :—Malieno, a physician, and his son, who has a place in the war office ; the Abbe Marachetti ; Mr. Michael Due, merchant ; M. Ragetti, advocate ; Messrs. Cantara, brothers, who were prosecuted in 1830, and escaped at that time, have had the same good fortune on the present occasion, and I hope they will be in safety in a few days. It seems that these rigorous measures have been adopted in consequence of the reports of agents whom our police employ abroad. It is entirely unknown whether there has been a plot. Ido not believe it; but is certain that these results will not hinder the Proi r .ess of public opinion." " All the persons arrested have been sent to the State prisons of Fenestrelles and Serie. A's the Fusillades of 1833 have not raised up friends to the Government, it now confines itself to Lettres de Cache] till th ese un h appy persons experience th e same fate as the Garde du Corps, Busane, who has been kept a dose prisoner ever since the accession of Charles Albert." " GENOA, OQT. 2.5.-1 wrote to you about the end of September that numerous perquisitions had been made here ; while at Alexandria several persons had been arrested. Our turn is come. Tal. Agussi, Physician, was arrested yesterday as he "Was leaving the theatre. M. Vico, a young Neapolitan, who has been here for some days, was arrested during the night. They are not the only prisoners.

Extract of a letter from Berne, dated the 3d inst. : " The Committee appointed to draw up a new draught of an answer to the note of the French Ambassador made its report to the Diet to-day, laying before it two proposals— one from the majority, which was composed of six members, and another from M. Tscharner, who stood alone. The following is the DRAUGHT or THE MAJORITY. " France and Switzerland, who have been united for centuries, find the good harmony which has so long sub sisted between them compromised by a misunderstanding. Both States must be desirous of a re-establishment of their ancient connection. As the difference has arisen from er ror, candid explanations are the only means of putting an end to it, and of restoring the former relations be tween the two countries. In the note of September the 27th, the Government of the King of the French complains of the steps taken by the Diet in the af fair of the man named Conseil. Before the Diet, which did not give birth to this incident, could make any communication, the intercourse between the two coun tries was interrupted by an order of the French Govern ment. Switzerland has felt the greater pain from this mis understanding, as she never could have had the least inten tion of doing anything which should, in the slightest degree, affect the friendly relations that subsisted between her and France. The Duke de Montebello, by his note of July 19, pointed out to the federal authorities the person called Conseil. The Directory transmitted to the Diet the do cuments relating to this person, who had been arrested. The Diet, conceiving upon this that the Duke ought to have withdrawn his note, and having referred to a Corn ' mittee the note of July 19 and the documents selected, de cided that the latter should be sent to the King's Govern ment, without any covert design, and without any inten tion of offending the King's Government or his Ambas sador. It never meant to annex to these the report of the Committee, because it only expressed the sentiments o f it s members, related solely to their relation with the Di et , an d likewise contained one opinion f r o m a majority, and another from a minority. Grcumstances have since made k nown to the Diet, that, contrary to its intentions, this de c i s i on h as met with an unfavourable interpretation from France, and it has consequently resolv ed not to pursue Septemb er '27 con t a i ns rsue the su bj ect . Th e on t t e e r b4l ol state ot of the C on f e d era ti on . serious f terrorshe asDuke to de the l\ l in Th e Diet might repel, with fact s , a ll egat i ons w hi c h are without foundatio n ; itmight find p roo f s i n t h e soc i a l con stitution of the Cantons, as well as in their physical and moral co ndition ; but it w ill not enter into the discussion. The Helvetic Cantons cannot admit that any foreign State has a right to , superintend thei r i ns tit ut i ons , to contro l th e ac ts of their Government s , or interfere, directly or indirectly, in the deliberati ons o f t h e C ouncils of the Confederat i on. Switzerland owes it t o h erse lf, o n t hi s su bj ect, to ap p ea l t o the . principles of th e r i g h ts o f nat i ons an d t h e t rea ti es by which she i s ac k nowledged to be an indepen d ent S tate . For the rest, the Diet, after the explanations it has just given, hopes th a t th e rel a tions of a mity between France and Switzerland, which have been cemented by time and usage, will he re-established in the interests of the two countries and of justice. She flatters kcrself with the belief that the bonds of an ancient alliance, which have been for a moment relaxed, will be drawn more closely and firmly, and that the temporary differences which have arisen will on ly serve t o make both nations feel more sensibly the reciprocal advan tage of a union which ought never to have been disturbed." THE DRAUGHT OF M. TSCHARNER.—" The Diet hav ing become more enlightened by an examination of the docu ments on which the conc./town of September 9 was voted, ~:. ... and by the results of the late discussions in the i _,......4,./ f,' Council of Berne, approves of the documents reldin 0 -..- I.kk cr this affair not having been sent to the French Gove:teintr,• . ';:\ - ,i ': and decides that no further steps shall be taken. The Didir::::-.1 regrets that this unfortunate incident should have initts4.....L•: , rupted the relations which have ever subsisted between France and Switzerland; and declares that it was never ill intention to offend either the Government of dui Ring of tnet French, or his Ambassador accredited to the Confoderotl o n, As the Swiss States have the solo right of superiV.anding their own institutions, and controling the meafttir'es of their Governments, the net does not feel itself b d . i! c d upo n fa enter into explanations as to the opinion 'which the Frtnch Government has formed as to the internal state of th Confederation. It is convinced that its deliberation*, as well as its firm determination► to maintain scrupulously in, ternational relations, will be sufficient to disabuse, in thiti respect, the ancient ally of Switzerland." PO f. 7 /UGAZ, by the events r 4 :. LISBON, OCT. 2P,.—The alarm and excltement c ause d of the min the evening of the 26th and following day, pected arrival of the several British and French vee / ....3 of war, have greatly subsided. O ne of the current 'amours of the day consequent upon this apparent foreign intervention is, that conferences have within these few past days been held, which have led to the Marquis of Sal danha being called t o t h e P a l ace to form a new Adminis tration, and the three following persons are spoken of as being chosen to act in conjunction with him—viz., Count Farrobo, M. Luis de Vasconcellas, and Pinto—the latter a professor of mathematics. This at present is but mere report, although in very general circulation. Another ru mour is, that a re-action will in the course of five or six days take place in favour of the charter of 1836. There does not appear much feasibility in the ;titter rumour, unless the National Guard evince the, i`leonsistency and vacilla tion of suddenly turning rourA and undoing a measure they so recently brought. atout4 with such impetuous en thusiasm. This being the artniversary of his Royal Highness Prince Ferlt aan d, the f'Jreign ships of war, 15 in number, of which. 'fine are ships of the line, heir).- gaily dressed is their lively coloured flags, and at one o'clock each firing a Royal salute, the Tagus presenting a majestic and animatin g sight. No levee, however, was held on the occasion, notwithstanding it was ordered by a decree of the 13th of May last, to be kept as a grand gala day. The reason assigned is, that as the Count de St. Priest, who is to be succeeded at this Court by M. Rois le Comte, the present French Envoy at Madrid, was to take leave of the Queen at mid-day, on his departure for France ; that it would be attended with in convenience to her Majesty to hold a Levee afterwards. A dinner party for 40 to celebrate this anniversary, w as to have taken place this evening, but from some cirer.in stance or other has been deferred. Her Royal Higl - .ness • the Infanta Donna Isabel Maria, gives a grand musical . fete this evening, which is to be attended oy the Queen, Prince Ferdinand, her Imperial Majesty's corps diplo matigue, &c. M. de Caesar Vancellos Correa, f or w h om the office of the Secretary of State for the Marine Depart ment has remained so long open, has declined rAceepting it, though he gives an assurance of his adhesi.an to the Queen, and his readiness to make any sacrifi• ze for the present regime of Government. Lieutenant Bosanquet, the Commander of the Leveret brig of war, who by his well timed co-operation with the authorities of Mozambique in ,Tune last, restored the Queen's Government at that Plate':, which had been subverted by a Miguelite insurrection, is I am told to be decorated with the military order of the Tower and Sword, and that her Majesty has it in contemplation to forward an autograph letter to his sr; Tannic Majesty impressive of her deep sense of the imporf.ant services rendered by him, and to request permissicm for him to wear the same ; as also to recom mend Wra for immediate promotion. It is highly gratifying to vill'aess that acts of this nature are so warmly appre oie.ed by the youthful Sovereign. 'rho Portuguese corvette Don John 1., and cutter An dorinha of war, sailed on the 28th with scaled orders, it is presumed for the Azores. Two corvettes and a brig of war are getting ready for the coast of Algarve, all to watch the movements of Don Miguel : from the latter quarter, cu rious to say, there is very great dearth of news. Nothing is known of the Guerrilla chief Remechido, or of the foreign officers so lately landed there in a steam-boat from the Mediterranean. The British squadron that came to anchor in Cascaes Bay, on their way to Cadiz, under the command of Rear- Admiral Sir Charles Paget, was instructed by the Admi ralty, on his way thither, to communicate with Rear-Admi ral Sir William Gage, the Commander-in-Chief on this station, who not thinking such an additional reinforcement to his already strong squadron necessary, they sailed yester day on their destination. His Majesty's corvette Pearl, which went from hence to Madeira on the 27th instant, did so at the request of the Portuguese Government, they not having a ship of war at that island. The Liverpool steamer arrived on the above date from England, last from Falmouth, in four days, bringinc , for the Bank silver bars and Mexican dollars, to the value of 8,0001. sterling. Arrived this evening the Espoir packet, with the mail of the 22d ult., and French frigate Duad, from Cadiz ; sailed the Liverpool steamer, for Cadiz, Gibraltar, and Malaga. The following ships are in the Tagus :—The Hastings (flag ship of Rear-Admiral Gage), the Cornwallis, Mala bar, Russell, Minden, Pembroke, and Talavera, British line-of-battle ships ; the Camelion and Partridge brigs, and the Camden, Alert, and Espoir packets ; also the French line-of-battle ships Jena, (flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Hu gon), and Ville de Marseille ; the Dryad frigate, Diligent corvette, Lc Oreste brig, and Meteor steamer ; and the Brazilian corvette 2d July.

OCT. :31.—The packet has been detained until this day at noon, at the instance of Viscount de la da Bandeira, Secre tary of State of Finance and for Foreign Affairs, to convey to England some resolutions which they were about to enter upon relative to the financial embarrassments of the country, recently augmented by the very great disappointment which they have experienced from the unexpected measure of M. Mendizabal respecting the payment of the dividends of the Spanish debt, on whom I am informed they relied for con siderable assistance in the payment of their own, now fall ing due. Three councils of Ministers have been held, on Saturday evening, yesterday (Sunday) at mid-day, and last. night, for the express purpose of devising sonic measures to enable them to raise sufficient money to meet the payment of the said dividends, in consequence of the above disap pointment ; but, as there appears to exist a very extraor dinary secrecy on this subject, I am unable at present, from the shortness of the time, to acquaint you with the result of their deliberations, but which I will endeavour to find out and communicate to you by the first conveyance. Rumours are in circulation, that an early attempt will be made to recover the charter of 182.6, the supporters of which, in the full confidence of their expectations, snake so light of the necessity cf preserving secrecy as to the mea sures aboat to be adopted to effect this end, that they do not hesitate to avow that they will met with the most cordial and ready co-operation of the British naval forces in the river. His Majesty's ship Talavera sailed yesterday for Eng— land, and the Pembroke is to take up her station oft the Prara do Commereio. Within an hour after the conclusion of the late Chi chester Sessions, the prosecutor in the last trig;, with his only witness, were committed to prison by tli:e Mayor, on a charge of highway robbery. - - • EXTRAORDINARY.-At a r'cent meeting of the Warwickshir e S oc i e tY o f Natural ' History and Archwolo g y, rofesso r Buckland stated tbla he had discovered at Guy's Cliff the remains of an e7.tint species of animal, which had never before been foP:ad or mentioned by geologists. The Professor said----" he had commenced his studies by col looting fragments of Carisbrook Castle, Corfe Castle, and Warwick Castle ; and little did he then dream that he should ever have an opportunity of saying that the stones of Carisbrook Castle contained a species of fresh-water fish, long extinct ; or that, in the distant progress of time, he should have to assert that the Castle, Collegiate Church, and town of Warwick, were built upon a stratum utterly unknown to English geologists. Ten years ago, he had ob tained certain specimens from Guy's Cliff, which he had cherished up among his masses of ignorance, and stored amidst difficulties, in the hope that some ray of light might dissipate the darkness which enshrouded them, and enable him to acquire some accurate information respecting them. Within the last two hours that darkness had been dispelled, and he was able to say that at Guy's Cliff he had disco vered an extinct species of animal never before found, and that those portions of rock which were upon the table be fore him were from a quarry, the name of which had never been uttered in England. Another discovery which he had made was that the town of Leamington rested on the re mains of animals which had existed in other times ; and this fact was not hastily acquired, but was founded on strict logical deductions. It was, indeed, true, that under the. foundations of houses at Leamington (where there had been previously one immense lake) there were to be found the remains of elephants, hippopotamuses, byamas, tigers, buf falos, and a string of ' l O other animals which he could enumerate." LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The sales of Cotton tom day are about 2,000 bags; the market is without any n ew , feature, but steady prices have bun paid for the different qualities offered.
