COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. ..as theatre was last night crowded to excess to witness etragedy o f O t h e ll o, the powerful cast of which, and the prices of admission, being temptations more irresistible than John Bull could well contend against. Previous to the performance, owing to the excessively over. crowded con dition of the house, a temporary uproar ensued for want of r oom ; upon which the stage-manager (Mr. H. Wallach) Fame forward to appease the tumult ; but. what he stated being deemed unsatisfactory, Mr. C. Kemble subsequently addressed the audience, and finally Mr. Macready, who succeeded, by proposing to such as chose to leave the the atre the return of their money, chargeable to his private account. The performance of the tragedy afterwards pro ceeded with deserved commendation, its principal characters being so ably supported. Of Mr. Macready's representa tion of the Moor—which had many noble and redeeming qualities —we will pronounce no unfavourable opinion, be cause his costume did not please us ; nor will we infer, therefore, although it was pie -bald, that it indicated the character of the performance ; but we cannot help thinking that he exhibited singularly bad taste in attaching the black j Face and hands of an African, to arms, body, and logs of European colour. The tragedy was succeeded by .Bernard's very laughable farce of The Nervous Man, played some three years ago, with the greatest success, at the rival establishment. Farren resumed his original cha racter of Aspen, and sustained it in his happiest style. Mr. H. Wallack, in M‘Shane, though wanting the innate ,mo desty in mien and manner of his predecessor in the part, gave it efficient support. Pritchard and Mrs. W. West Played well in Lord Lounge and Lady Leech ; as indeed did Mrs. Garrick in Mrs. Clackett, the landlady of the " Lion." This piece was throughout received with ex cessive laughter and applause.

(From the Great Metropolis, an interesting and gossiping work just published, by the Author of " Random Recol lections of the Lords and Commons.") The advertisements of a London newspaper have always appeared to me to constitute a very interesting part of its contents. It you would study human nature under cir• cumstances most favourable for an accurate judgment, go by all means to the advertisements of a London news paper. There you will find it exhibited under all its varied phases. Advertisements arc infinitely better instructors, as to the opinions, habits, and tendencies of the human mind, than the works of our most profound philosophers. The latter only describe human nature speculatively ; in the ad vertising columns of a London newspaper, you see it prac tically exemplified. I take a morning paper of the 20th of June—the clay on which I write this—and what do I find in the department filled with advertisements ? Were Ito attempt to do justice to those advertisements, it would take up a volume as large as the one now in the hands of the reader. Let me glance at a few of these advertisements. My eye first rests on a column in which I find no fewer than eighteen governesses all wanting situations: A go verness ! In most cases the term is but another name for slavery . and indignity combined. I can easily perceive , from the tone which pervades their a dvertisements, that these young unprotected creatures are, in the majority of cases, the daughters of men who have moved in a respect able sphere of life, but have either been reduced in circum stances or been removed by death ; and therefore they are obliged to support themselves. I can also easily per ceive that they are of a modest and retiring disposition, and that nothing but dire necessity compels them to appear in the columns of a newspaper. There are, however, excep tions to every rule ; and, among the advertisements to which I refer, I observe one young Miss, who has the most exalted notions of her own qualifications—ten times as great, I will answer for it, as the mother of the daughters whom she may be employed to teach will have when she has had two or three months' trial of her. She is, taking her own word for it, perfectly mistress of the French, German, Italian, and all modern languages—which she speaks with the purity of the - natives. Her musical talents are not to be surpassed ; and in drawing she is perfectly unrivalled. To crown all, she is of a most amiable disposition. Conceit, the ruling passion, is as strong in the dozen lines her advertisement occupies, as it were possible it could be made appear in that limited space. In the immediate vicinity of this advertisement I find another, intimating that " A French governess is wanted. No English lady need apply." Here is stupidity. What English lady would think of applying when a French one was wanted? Farther down the column I observe that a gardener and his wife are wanted. The latter must not be under forty five years of age, and there must be no " encumbrance." Encumbrance, it may he right to mention, here means children ; and, to make assurance doubly sure against any future encumbrance, it is expressly stipulated that the wife be forty-five years of age. Here are prudence and economy combined—blended, it may be, with somewhat of the Malthusian philosophy. What comes next ? " Mr. Morgan has removed from 42, Davies-street, to 24, Baker street !" Behold the aristocratic disposition ! Theophras tus would have sought no better proof of Mr. Morgan being a man of a proud and haughty mind. He is a surgeon, but he is ashamed of his profession ; and yet he is so poor, that he must inform his patients of the place to which he is removed, lest they should not take the trouble to inquire, and lie be consequently deprived of the privilege of bleeding them. I use the word in a double sense. His pride will not allow him to convey the in timation in the courteous terms becoming his dependent condition. It would be a sad shock to his imaginary dig nity to use the words, " Begs leave respectfully to an nounce," &c. "M. C. wants a place as housemaid, where a footman is kept !" The plain English of this is, that Mary wants a husband, not a place. However, she will accept the latter, to pave the way for the former ; but she will take care that no situation " suit" her where the foot man is married. Immediately below the notification of the housemaid, is another to the effect, that " A respectable young woman, aged thirty, wants a situation as cook !" Here we have the proverbial reluctance of a single female to acknowledge her real age after she has passed her twenty fifth year. Molly is forty years of age, though she sets her self down as only thirty. lam perfectly certain, that if I knew any one who had been acquainted with her for the last ten years, that person would say, if appealed to on the subject, as Fontinelle did in the case of the French lady, under similar circumstances—that he could not deny she was thirty, having constantly heard her say so for the last ten years. And yet, observe, she calls herself " young." Yes, but who ever heard an unmarried female admit the applicability of the term " old" to her ? Next comes " a good cook" in quest of a situation. She is " a woman of sober habits !" As she mentions no other good quality but that of her sobriety, it is as clear as any proposition in Euclid, that she is a confirmed tippler—a frequenter of the gin-palaces, and, in all probability, a native of Ireland. Some one has got a capital set of chambers to let in Furni val's Inn ; " for particulars apply at the porter's lodge !" It is manifest as the noon-day sun, that the advertiser is a par simoniOus man. He will n ot even give the " particulars in general," as an Irishman would say, because it would put him to two or three shillings more expense. However, let him take his own way of it. He will find in the end, that lie is one of the penny wise, pound foolish gentry. Had he stated something regarding his set of chambers the chances were some one might have inquired after them ; but who will trouble themselves to go and interrogate the porter on the subject ? " Andrews and Co. have just published a Guide to persons commencing Housekeep ing ; to be ,had gratis, at their Complete Furnishing House, Finsbury-square." Here the ingenious and the cunning are blended in equal proportions. " The Guide" means nothing more than a recommendatory list of the advertisers' own articles. Not only does " the Guide" recommend no article which they have not for sale, but you may stake your existence on it, that it strongly recom mends as indispensable to a properly furnished house, every article which they have to dispose of. See, again, in the very next advertisement, or " ad." as the printers call them, the pompous and inflated address of the empiric. He cares not for pecuniary reward—not he ; be is ac tuated by the noblest and most disinterested motives in announcing to you that he has for forty, or some other very lengthened term of years, been the means of an nually restoring to life and happiness so many thousand human beings, when on the very brink of the grave, and when given up by all other physicians. It is from sheer humanity that he forces, if he can, his medicine down your throat, provided you will not be prevailed on to swallow it of your own accord. And there is no disease which he cannot cure. He undertakes to do everything short of re storing animation after the vital spark has fled. To throw you off your guard more completely as to his real charac ter, he is sure to denounce all other professors of the heal ing art as " heartless pretenders." He thus traffics in hu manity. Flo does not kill you by violent means, in order that he may rob you ; the law in that case would reachhim ; but without a cornpunetious visiting he will trifle with your life, and quietly administer his poison, till he has sent you to your grave, in order that be may extract a few pounds from you. Do you see that advertisement at the top of a second column, headed, " An Appeal to the Charitable and Humane," and c ontaining a long detail of the calamities to which the advertiser has been subject ? Take care, if you are your own friend, of your pockets. It is a thousand to one but it is either from Mist Zouch herself, or some one of the same class of persons. MORTALITY,&C.INLONDoN.—The annual number of deaths in London is, in round numbers, 30,000. Dr. Clark, in his late treatise on consumption, incomparably the best work which has ever appeared on the subject,—says, that taking the aggregate population of Great Britain and Ireland, a fourth part of those who (lie from natural causes, are carried off by consumption. From some statements I have seen of the various causes of death in the metropolis, it would appear that fully this proportion of persons die of consimiption. From this fact it appears that this disease is making alarming progress both in the metropolis and in the country ; for in Dr, Arbuthnot's time it was calculated, that out of every ten persons who died in London, only one was carried off by consumption, The yearly number of births in the metropolis exceeds that of the deaths by 2,000 or 3,ooo.—The Great Metropolis. ARDUOUSNESS AND PRECARIOUSNESS OF THE DRAMATIC PROFESSION.—There is no profession in the world so arduous and precarious as that of the stage. Both 4.120 mental and physical powers of the actor are constantly on i. t ." 4 rack. It is only by the most severe and unremitting exertion that ho can hope to attain any measure of distinc tion ; and the same exeraon is necessary to preserve it. Audiences are very capricious and very ungrateful :—the least thing—the , si:ghtest defect in acting-- ,, v 4e444 h o wever meritorious the actor's previous performances may have been. The most distingn4had success for a lengthened series of years is up extenuation, in their for one night's failure. Our actors are in exactly the same predica greyhound in the fable, that mws.sent'inthis c severely beat by iyts the s master, because it failed to catch the hare for the hundredth time, though it had been sue , i --sful in the chase n the previous n i ne ty-nine oases,—Thc _ Great 21.fetru .r ..:. - I, ililding opposite Hyde.

PARIS, OCT. 24.—The Moniteur has no official part this morning. Prince Galitzen has just died at Paris. A journal says, that a report of the death of Prince Talleyrand was spread yesterday ; it adds, that it is true that three eminent physicians aro gone from Paris to Va lencay, but there are other distinguished persons at the Chateau whose health may have .required aid of medicine. An extraordinary courier arrived at Bayonne on the I 9th, at three in the morning ; the purpose of his journey is not officially known ; but it is ascribed to fresh occur rences supposed to have taken place at Lisbon. The tele graph was in motion as soon as there was sufficient day- ligh t.—Sentinelle. A letter from Cordova of the 9th, says that since the de parture of the insurgents, the city has remained without any authorities. A junta, consisting of six members, has been formed provisionally, and has lost no time in re-establishing the communications.—Sentinelle. The Madrid journals of the 16th have been received by the ordinary conveyance. They speak of the defeat of Gomez, but without any new particulars. It may be hoped that the day will not pass over without some new commu nication by express. The Sully steam-boat, which left Naples on the 15th, arrived at Marseilles on the 19th. It brings no political news, whence we may conclude that there has been no dis turbance in Sicily ; for it is not possible to have information of a more recent date than by this vessel. The Helvetic has the following article :—" Porentruy, Oct. 2.—The blockade, which was enforced with great rigour on our frontier has ceased. The Prefet of the Upper Rhine was at Delle yesterday ; he has given orders for the renewal of the communications which have been interrupted for a fortnight.—Journal du Commerce, Oct. 24.

AIADRID, OCT. 16.—The account published by a second edition of the Eco yesterday, respecting Gomez's total defeat, is premature, and only a small force, composing his advanced guard, was defeated, and sixty or seventy of them taken prisoners ; but his position at Priego, aecording to the last reports to the 12th, was critical in the extreme, and General Alaix writes from Alcala la Real with perfect confidence of obtaining a complete victory, securing most of his men, rescuing the treasures, horses, and prisoners, which he took from Cordova, as he is in sight of them with a part of his forces, keeping the others at the last-men tioned place, in order to be ready upon a rapid and unex pected move. General Espinosa bad entered Cordova, leaving a strong force at Erija and another at Seville, so that, with the 3,000 that General Quiroga has at Grenada, there are upwards of 23,000 men in the neighbourhood of the spot occupied by the Carlist chief, independent of the 8,000 men marching with Rodil towards the Pedrochos le Cordova. Ministers are in constant expectation of a courier arriving with accounts of an engagement. Sanz's position in the Asturias is not very pleasant, according to the accounts which we have from thence, to the 11th, and General Alvarez, the Captain-General of OLlCastile, writes from Leon under date of the 12th, to the effect that, closely pursued by General Peon, Sanz intended to march to that city, passing through Lostariegos, but that he was there ready for him, and hoped to give a short account, whilst the two Portuguese brigades had placed themselves, covering Villa Franca del Vierzo, Cacabellos, Membibre, and Astorga, and I can add from private but positive information, that Baron del Valle, the Portuguese Commander-in-Chief, is perfectly confident that his men will fight to the very last extreme. The Guerilla Chief, Sambreigo, who was going along with Sanz, has been taken, and about 120 Carlists have gone over to General Peon. Maroto's defeat in Catalonia is announced as most important, the four members of the Junta being among the 600 prisoners, and Baron Ortafa among the 500 killed. The parish Priest of Munoneillo, province of Segovia, has raised a guerilla of thirty men in favour of Don Carlos. _ . _ Six pieces of artillery marched yesterday from hence for Toledo, being the competent number for the corps of ob servation which is forming there. The political chief of Cuenca acquaints the Government that 360,000 reels, about 4,0001., have been found concealed in one convent and one church. PORTUGAL. LISBON, OCT. 18.—The Cortos ere to meet on or about the 18th of January, 1837, and the elections are to commence on the 10th of next month. The deputies are to be elected in the average proportion of one in every 30,000 souls. The whole number of representative s will be 126, making a difference of ten lesss than those returned by the late charter. Notwithstanding, more will actually assemble, as the Constitution of 1820 provides as a sub stitute one-third of their number to be in readiness in case of any sudden or unexpected circumstance that might im pede any Deputy from performing his Parliamentary du ties, as also to prevent the delay that otherwise might arise in issuing new writs during the session. The electoral di visions for the kingdom of Portugal and Algarve stand as follows, viz. : Brag,anza Braga Penafiel ... 5 Oporto 6 Feira Aveiro Vizeu ... 4 Lamego Guarda 3 Castello Branco 3 Loire ..... .. ..• 4 Thomar 3 Santarem 3 Alemquer Lisbon ... ...... 10 St. Übes 3 Portalegre Evora 40 37 33 Total, 110 ; the remainder will be returned by the Azores, Island of Madeira, the Cape de Voids, and the African possessions. M. Caesar de Vasconcellos Correa, the Minister of Marine, has recovered from the indisposition he was labour ing under when appointed to that office, and came to town two or three days since. It is stated that M. Manool da Silva Passos, the Minister of the Interior, is about to resign his post in favour of his brother Jose, in order to become a candidate at the ensuing elections, it being incompatible with the Constitution of 1820 for a Minister of the Crown to belong to that assembly, or even to be elected while he holds that office. The paper entitled Portuguez Constitutional, containing an article on the Portuguese funds in England, led to the following observations on the subject. (From the Portuguez Constitutional, Oct. 10.) " Sir—l have just read in your paper of the 7th instant, an article entitled English Funds,' and the perusal of that article, which certainly could not have emanated from your pen, induced me to inquire from the competent authority, as I am a holder of Portuguese stock in England, and a capitalist of this city, if the opinion of the Minister of Finance is in accordance with the argument advocated in that article. Happily, in an interview which I had per sonally with the Minister, he frankly expressed his opinions to me, which are in unison with my own, and as they affect the interests of public capitalists, I have not hesitated to publish them without the slightest fear of contradiction. " These opinions are as follow 1. :olio h e ,a tt atalpth e Government Lntlt a;s based ha n :J og admitted 0, 5 nn un erringthe national credit made by the preceding flaministration sh a ll b e f u lfill e d, as this Government have officially declared, shall be sacredly adhered to by the present Administration.

BERNE, OCT. 2I.—A Report of the Directory, relative to the execution of the conclusum of the 23d of August, was communicated this day to the Diet. This document, which contains a list of the refugees expelled from the Hel vetic territory, is concluded as follows: The Federal Directory cannot help expressing its con viction that a great deal still remains to be done, in order that the conclusum may be fully and strictly executed in a manner re-assuring for Switzerland, and agreeable to inter national relations. On the other hand, the Directory feels bound to state that a good deal has already been done to wards the execution of the conclusum, but that .the appli cation of the measures recommended by that decree has met with many obstacles in certain States of the Confederation, whose institutions and administrative forms are opposed to the establishment of a general r)liee, on the plan of that instituted i❑ other States, governed by different political laws, for the protection of citizens. The Directory, con s.-.‘quently, entreat! DX the st4tgi to brio° such measures as are compatible with their respective cantonal constitu tions, and in complience with the principles set down in the federal compact, in order that Switzerland may soon be restored to that state of tranquillity which can only result from the complete and general execution of the conclusum of the Diet." _ After a short discussion, which offered no interesting in cident, the Diet unanimously resolved on appointing a com mittee \of five members to examine what remains to be done to insure the full execution of the conclusum. The Conser vative party obtained a majority in the choice of the Com missioners, who are—Messrs.

The Diet is not to meet until the 25th or 26th inst., to give time to the committees to prepare their reports. The coercive measures enforced by the French authori ties along the frontiers have ceased altogether, since yester. day, at Delle, and on the line of the Bernese Jura, Swiss citizens are now permitted to enter France by that road, with a permission signed by the Mayor of Delle. The Safety Society of the Canton of Berne, established by the patricians, has held a meeting, and voted an address to the Grand Council. That document requires- .ht, that the demands of France be rejected, and that a friendly ad justment be obtained by means compatible with national honour-2d, that the conclusurn be rigorously executed, inasmuch at least as regards the Canton of Berne-3d, that none of the refugees of whom neighbouring States may have had to complain be appointed to situations salaried by the Republic-4th, that no Swiss, or stranger to the Can ton, and d fortiori no foreigner, shall be admitted to enjoy political rights, unless he have resided ten years at least in the country ; nevertheless, that period may be reduced by one-half if he have married a Bernese, or possess landed property in the Canton-sth, that all foreigners heretofore naturalized, without offering good guarantees, be excluded from all public situations. That petition is signed by M. de Muralt, President ; and M. Gatschet, the Secretary.—Arouvelliste Vaudois. ALGIERS. The French expedition against Constantine is to consist of 6,600 French troops, and at least 4,000 auxiliaries, ex clusive of Arabs, belonging to the tribes of the Beylick. According to the information obtained by Marshal -Clausel. the Bey has between 4,000 and 5,000 irregular cavalry, 8,000 irregular infantry, 300 Turkish cannoneers, and a body-guard consisting of 4 companies of picked soldiers. He has, besides, from 1,200 to 1,500 mountaineers from Nemenchah, armed with muskets. We do not include the Arabs of the district, becauso most of them have refused to join the Bey. The Moors in the towns likewise declined to co-operate, so that Hadji Hemet is obliged to extend his line of defence far in advance of Constantine.—Courtier Francais. The departure of the Duke de Nemours has removed all the doubts created by the hesitations of our Ministers respecting the immediate departure of the expedition against Constantine. In the first days of November, 1,200 troops, under the orders of Marshal Clause], will quit the Camp of Draan, three leagues distant from Bona, and, after a rapid march of a few days, will arrive under the walls of Constantine, which, in all probability, will offer but a feeble resistance.—National.

OCT. 25.—That superb steamer the Atalanta, from Guernsey to Southampton, run on shore at Grange Chine in a thick fog last night. It luckily being high water, she came over the rocks in on the beach, and shohld the wea ther continue moderate will be got off without damage. She had between forty and fifty passengers on board. Grange Chine is about five miles to the westward of Black Gang Chine, where the Clarendon was wrecked. Some idea may be formed of the latter place from the sale of the wreck.. The remaining part coppered and copper fastened, together with three chain cables, anchors, guns, iron ballast, &c. &c., though not a cable's length from the beach, fetched only 41. 4s. ; the rum on the beach, twenty to thirty over proof, brought but 6d. per gallon. It is surprising Govern ment has not seen the necessity of placing a light on some of these cliffs near the shore. COWES. On Wednesday. last an inquest - was held on the body of Ralph Partridge, late a seaman on board the American ship Vancouver, Captain Bangs Hallett.

C. Day, Esq., surgeon, attended the •leceased till he died, which was from the effects of the Prii. Verdict, accidental death.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the despatch of public business. THE QUEEN ANNE'S BOtYNTY COMMISSIONERS. Under-Sheriff WIRE, after some previous remarks, said he hoped that his Lordship would not only take his seat, but insist on the due collection and proper appropriation of the revenue called Queen Anne's Bounty. The LORD MAYOR—I shall. It is a subject very inte resting to me, and I intend to have it fully investigated. COAT ) TRADE. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON presented a memorial from Mr. Bradfield,• coal inspector. Under-Sheriff WIRE asked by Whose authority Mr. Brad field got up the memorial ? Mr. BRADFIELD said he was not aware that it was ne cessary for him to have the authority or permission of any man in such a quarter. He had not consulted any indivi dual in the matter, and he believed that lie could give the Court as much information on the important subject as any other man. Mr. PEARSON said he had two or three reasons for moyiug that the memorial should be referred to the Corn ani Coal Committee. It was true that Mr. Bradfield's tt-Jrnplaints and suggestions had been received with a degree of preju dice upon former occasions, but he soul, -,1 not see that the prejudice would continue to exist when the memorialist stated reasonable grounds for complaint. The memorial was referred to the Coal and Corn and Finance Committee, with the understanding that it should be taken into consideration and reported on. THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL asked whether the Clerk of the Court had transmitted the propositions of the Com mittee of the whole Court on the Municipal Institutions of the City to the Commissioners, and whether any answer had been received ? Mr. Ashley--(the Clerk of the Court)--said that be had he had sent them by his clerk, but that no answer had been received. Sir C. MARSHALL—No, and I dare say we may wait a long time for an answer. Mr. C. PEARSON—Who but Sir Chapman Marshall supposed that we could have expected anything of the kind? —( A laugh.) APPLICATION FOR LEASES TO THE CORPORATION. Mr. ANDERTON gave notice that he should move that no application for leases to be granted by the Corporation be acceded to until the names and residences of the proposed lessees have been first printed and circulated in the usual summonses with the description of the property intended to be leased, the term of years proposed to be granted, and the rent and premium (if any) to be paid. THE PORT OF LONDON NAVIGATION. The LORD MAYOR took occasion to make a few observa tions upon the bringing up of a report, of no public impor tance from the Navigation Committee. It was not neces sary for him to say to what extent the commerce of the metropolis had increased. It was well known that the coal trade alone had increased in so great a degree that the river Thames was not in its present condition an adequate inlet to the metropolis for that article. THE WATCHMEN AND WATCHHOUSES OF THE CITY. Mr. ANDERTON moved that it be referred to the Nightly Watch Committee to ascertain and report forthwith the amount of the watch-rate expenditure, &c., &c. Mr, A. described the condition of St. Bride's and St. Dunstan's watchhouses as most peculiarly revolting. Mr. CHARLES and other Members defended the watch 'bouse and watchmen system of the districts most strongly objected to, and stated that the ward in which they were situate was peculiarly well secured against depredation. Mr. R. L. JONES said that there was no doubt as to the necessity of some great alteration.—The prop . sition of Mr. Anderton was then agreed to. THE GRESHAM LECTURES % Mr. BAYLIS moved a reference to the Gm:sham and City of London School Committee;, with regard to the removal of the Gresham Lectur,:,s to the lecturing theatre of the City of London Schoe,',, Mr. HALE seconded tho motion, which was ably sup ported by Mr. Pritchard,, Mr. R. Taylor, and Mr. Stacey. Mr. LAWRENCE t,'nought there would be much difficulty with the Mercers' Company, and that they would probably join the przjfessors in opposing any improvement. The LORD MAYOR said that from a knowledge of many of the members of the Mercers' Company, he might confi dently state that they were as anxious as the mover or the Court could be to make these lectures, what they were really intended to be, useful to the citizens of London ? and fo his own part, during the short time he remained in office, he would do all in his power to promote the consideration of this subject.—(Hear, bear.) The motion was eariied unanimously. Upon the motion of Mr. PRIOR, the Committee of the whole Court, appointed at the commencement of the year, was dissolved and, after thanks were voted to the Lord Mayor, as Chairman of the Committee, the Court adjourned. THE LIVERPOOL POST-OFFICE EXPLOSION. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—The General Quarter Sessions for this borough commenced this morning. The circum stance of Josef Gomez Pelayo, the man charged with putting several packages containing detonating powder and other combustibles into the letter-box of the Post-office, and which caused an explosion, on the 22d of last month, being amongst the prisoners for trial, has excited an extraordinary degree of interest. The Recorder, in his charge to the Grand Jury this I morning, dwelt upon the nature of the offence with which the prisoner stood charged at some consider;: o l e length. He said, th e nove lty an d extraordie - _,, r y cir_ cumstances of the case c r ea t e d more interP - , t than the nature of the crime it se lf, th e f a cts of 'which would in volve them in no ilifficulty. his T A.hordship had care fully looked o';er the depositions, and he agreed with those gentiemen entrusted with the prosecution, that the case presented in the , nature of a misdemeanour— could not be treated a felony. The Commissioners for inquiring into fhe state of the Criminal Law had , had their attenti on directed to its defects i n respect to offences of this description. The Act of Parliament com monly called Lord Ellenborough's Act, had been enlarged, and was still capable of further enlargement, as it did not, as it now stood, e xtend to cases like the present. Surely, it was high time for that portion of the criminal law to be amended, so as to extend to any case of wounding or maim ing, whether done by a stick or in any other way, so long as the intent was to do grievous bodily harm. In this ease the explosion at the Post Office had nearly proved fatal to the party injured , he havin g comp l ete l y l ost the use of one of his eyes. His Lordship could not do otherwise than say i t w as to be lamented that the crime was onlo punishable as a miademeanour. The Grand Jury have net as yet found their bill in the Post Office case ; the trial will not, therefore, take place for some days, The Sean belonging to Messrs.

We foresaw the line of defence which would be adopted by those who arc enlisted under the flag of Toryism, in favour of the party whose cupidity, into. lerance, personal pique, and political antipathy and intrigues led them to frustrate the efforts of a liberal Administration to reconcile the people of Ireland to the payment of tithes. Dean Hawkins had a lemel , Le' • right, we are to ld b y a renegade Morning pr int, to tithes ; and the blood that hie blitorceinent of that le. gel claim has shed, is twain the heads of Lord Mel bourne and' John P ussCil, and of Mr. O'Connell 1 The Very Rev, bean's legal right to tithes nobody questions. But though the law—a vicious one— oblige; the parishioners of Dunkerrin to pay, in aeldltion to the rackrents of grinding landlords, the tenth of the produce of their labour to a clergyman who re'.nisters not to their comforts, spiritual o r temporal, tb' force of th e moral obligation is exceedi ng ly queeti ona bl e. T he law which gave the rector of Dunkerrin a statutable title to He tithes, e is boundiinpos imposed correspondi ng obliga tions.y law to reside o n hi s b ene fi ce ; and his title to the tenths is based upon the notion that he not only has a spiritual cure, but performs leis cle rical dutieS. His non-residenc e we are entitle', to use as an argument in favour of the presumption. that he has no cure of souls, or that he has neglected to dis charge his bounden duties. In. either case the moral obligation of the parishioner* to pay him tithes has ceased, if it ever existed. And that this is the conviction of the parishioners of Dunkerrin—Protestant and Catholic—has teen clearly demonstrated_ Th e recent fatal collision between the Very Re verend and Worshipful Dean's merrmidons and the peasantry is a sufficient index of the popular feeling with respect to his demands. The archives of Dublin Castle bear evidence to the hostility of the Protestant gentry to his ex, tortionate and unearned taims. Mr. Rolliston, The principal landed proprieteer of the parish of Dunkerrin, appealed, if we mistak e not, to the Lord Li eu t enan t and Privy Council, against his Very Reverend Wow ship's demands .; as inimical to and Mr. Rolliston is a Protest ar e t, Catholicism the influence or spread of Dissent, alai as the Bishop of Exeter—though w e a re far, indeed, from harbouring the suspicion that he word,' debti.ee himself by choosing the means to achieve he s trarpose which the Right Reverend pampleleteer h as not scrupled to adopt. Still the corruptionist orga ns will have it that the King's Ministers and IVIr. O'Cem nell are the originators, the authors, the abettors GI . the tithe campaign, with its rebellion ruffianism, eque ts , bills, law costs, and massacres. Why have not these honest writers noticed the Dutch auction of a Prote etam farmer's property at Wexford, to which we hav id. ai more than once called th e i r a tt en ti on ? Wh y h ave tl ey e ' been guilty of tile turpitude of misrepr esen t a ti on , a sup pression of fact s ? Why h ave t h ey char ged up on a Protestant Lib era l Ad m i n i s t ra ti on , and 'epon a Catho lie leader of the present day, the fomentation ea' a re sistance to tithes w hi c h th e y k new to have (existed for fifty years ; which (they had, the authority o f Lord Clare, a High Church Che..neellor V t . Ireland, and of the Protestant Bishop of Cloyne for th e fact) they knew in their souls to leave originatetl, with the Protestant landlords of Irela n d at a period. when Mr. O'Connell and Lord Mel were n r., ° th l e d y suppose ren, and Lord John Russell ye as Un m b u o r r i i i i e ? that the public do not read, or that; reading , they are such dolts as not t o compre h en d, eer'such bieots . as to disbelieve authenticated truths ? This must be their impression ; else, how account for the monstrous mis statements, the glaring suppeession and distortion of facts with which their rucubrations on the Irish Church question every morning and every evening abound ? For instance, we are told that " the House of Lords ac tually commuted tithe for rent charge, and transferred the debt from the proprietor or, the soil to the occu pier. The House of Lords, therefore, declared that these should be ieo more tithe demanded— no further processes from the Eeechequer against the tenant —no further incentive s to collision between clergy and people—me further opportunities for the shedding of human Mood." The House of Lords did not do any one of these tleine b s when it concurre d in Baron L ynd hurst's mutilations of the Tithe Bill of last session, the to which the apostate journalist alludes in the preceding extract. Already one-half of the landlords of Ireland were, by the operation of previoles 'Acts of Parliament, subject to the tithe composieion. The mangled measure returned to the House of Commons, bad it been accepted by that assembly, would have done no more, even in the way of nonzin al transfer of liability from the tenant to the landlord, than one-half of what the neophyte flatterer cf their Lordships gives them credit for. But in reality it made no such transfer. It made the landlord liable, directly, in one contingency, and one only. Where there were tenants at-will, the Lyndhurst scheme—being partly an edi tion of the least beneficial, or popular part of the Ministerial Bill--transferr e d the liability of tithes to the landlord. But then the landlord had merely to extort an equivalent, in the shape of increased rent, from the wretched tenant-at-will, and forthwith the pecuniary obligations of the tenant would be as weighty and oppressive as if the Tithe Bill had never been prepared. That the grasping landlords would commit this extortion, there being un fortunately no poor-laws in Ireland to check their ruth ' less rapacity and punish them for making paupers, th e history of Ireland forbids usfor one moment to doubt. Yet this was the boon—the " measure of unmixed good " which the Tory Peers offered to the peopl e of Ireland ; for, mark you, all leaseholders—the vast ma jority of tithe-payers—were to be still liable for the clergyman's claims until their tenure expired, \ellen the liability would devolve upon the landlord, 'who would here, also, be enabled to indemnify hirne:eif, by extort ing an increased rent as the primary 'condition of re newing the lease. Thus we have .;, we think, clearly shown that the Lordly tithe sci- .teme-would not have, in the slightest degree, allevie' eted the burdens of the people of Ireland, while it , lacked that principle of ap propriation which alone gave popularity, and would have e iven efficacy, to t' et 6 Bi ll prepared by his Majesty's Mi nisters. Had thr et • • . mischievous bantling become law, there would be " rr . 4° ‘e" demand for tithes, alias rentcharges, equivalent. i e . es enect and in amount to tithes; there would be " fe . .mer processes from the Exchequer against the ter - ;" there would be " further incentives to col ! lisi.on between the clergy and the people ;" there would oe in fine, " further opportunities for the shedding of human blood ;" unless the people cheerfully consented to pay tithes, the want of which consent alone ren dered a Tithe Bill necessary. After putting forth the series of false assertions which we have been taking to • the maaniloquent writer, pieces, w ith wonted swagger, exclaims, " Who is the culprit now, we ask ? who is blood stained now ?" We echo the question, an d leave the people of England to answer it. But, it is said, the Bill sent down by the Lords would, if it be came law, have settled time tithe question. U pon what authority does this assertion rest ? Simply the recieless presumption of its authors. It has been shown that the Lordly Bill would not have at all transferred the liability of paying tithes from the occupiers to the landlords for several years to come, except in the case of tenancy at will. It has also been shown that such transfer, at any time, would be of no positive advantage to the tenantry. They would still have to' pay the parsons (to use a vulgar adage), in either meal or malt. Though the right hand would lie relie - eed from the trouble of handing out the amount of the Clergy man's claim, the left hand should perform that unplea sant office. In a word, the tenant would be obliged, in any event, to pay i the tithes, either for a time, di rectly or hereafter, n the indirect character of an in creased rent. Now this obligation—this necessity t o pay tithes without receiving any benefit in return, without having any interest whatsoever in its collection or distribution—is the sole fountain of that unseemly warfare between the Clergy and the people, which it. was the object of time King's Ministers and of their 7 supporters—time Representatives of the United King dom—to bring to an agreeable termination. That ob ject no human power can achieve without the consent;
