Zfn LONDON : MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1839. Although we very frequently have objections to make to the Whigs, we are also continually re minded that they are not half so bad as the Tories. At an agricultural dinner at Brill, in North Bucks, on Friday, the Duke of BUCKINGHAM reproached Lord MELBOURNE with having done nothing to put down the Chartists. If the Duke and his friends4had been in office, they would have let loose the yeomanry, the infantry, the artillery, and the police, and re-enacte'a, with a bloodier cast, the Manchester tragedy. We are singular, of all the London press, in thinking that the Ministers might have carried their forbearance somewhat further with advanta ge to the public ; but the Tories affirm that they carried it a great deal to far, and they would haw., irritated the people into a fever of sedi tion, 7vh;ch they would have endeavoured to lay in Woad. e7in the same day that the Duke of BUCKING -'ri Am was th us p rov i ng h ow grea t are t h e di sasters "from_ which the country has been saved by th e ar . - "tant tyr ann i ca l men not b e i n g i n p ossess i on o f the Ai 0 ~ # overnment, whose sentiments that Aristocrat - s i ti e eti l k_ 4 i:a o ) . ourn a l of the faction, discussing the re .l,o..vr_taxation, published this paragraph : tien 04. :et . was the cause of all this prodigal devasta -1 1 breaking tioavrtsonal resources, this reckless though cowardly The motive ts:litof accomplices was a 3 Z raj the multitude, the whole eclifice of British finance ? the part . of Mr. Spring Rice and his for Zetrucang to the clamorous dictation sake of a dirty and fugitive popu laritr amongst uneducvaeteosuplaendvshort- I So, when the sighted men." groaning d u n d er an enorwous load of taxation , 1 Parliament in cro w d s for the petitioned o f t h e petition e d th e s most onerous taxes, i t was reckless ardly in the Whig er: , am .cl Their and c ow - Ministers t listen t o their urgent complaints and p ray demands are denominated by the Toriesdictcion ;'' they are describcd,.as the multitude TwOh o Us are uneducated and short-sighted, and to liste n to them is base truckling. Such is nowthe language used by the Times, formerly one of the most clamorous for the reduction of taxation, and such are the sen timents which, out of base truckling to the wretched faction in whose service that otherwise able journal now is, it is compelled to adopt. We do not mean to enter into the financial question, or it could easily be shown that most of the reductions of temation of which the Times now so loudly complains, so far from having devas tated the national resources, have contributed to increase the revenue. It is deficient because other etaiaes, those on timber and corn for example, 'have not been reduced or abolished. Bfit our ob- I servations shall be directed rather to the political principles of the Tories than to the effects of the reduction of taxation on the national resources. The idea which the Tories have of the Government is that of an enemy of the peo ple. They would administer it only to keep them in slavery. They would not allow the people to open their lips even to grumble against taxation. For them the Government is a hostile power, which must degrade and oppress the people, or be destroyed by them. Well may wf, therefore, desire to keep them out of office, for should they return to power, there will be no alter native but to destroy the Government by rebellion, or submit to be enslaved. For what, let us ask, were the taxes to be main. tained ? To keep up the revenue, and allno? of as great an expenditure as under the Tories when that model of all financiers, Mr. GOUL BURN, annually insisted that he could not do without grinding the bones and blood of the people into money for fattening a mass of Tories. What the Whigs have done wrong, most wrong, is, not in listening to the demands of the public for a reduction of taxation, but in following the prac tices of the Tories, and wasting the public resources. By their position, and by their formerly avowed sentiments, the Whigs are economists andßeformers ; but unfortunately they could not resist the tempta tion of doing as the brutal tyrannical Tories did ; and they adopted too many of the vices of their predecessors as to expenditure. Lord ALTIIoRP and Mr. RICE insisted on keeping up the pension list ; LORD MELBOURNE made the Civil List a great deal too large ; in a hundred ways the Whigs, imitating the Tories, have lavished the public money on Commissioners' Boards, useless Am bassadors, and useless offices of all descriptions, and have got themselves into a dilemma with the public finances, because they did not follow out their own principles, and reduce the ex penditure a great deal more as they reduced taxation. They did right in yielding to the demands of the people ; they did wrong in not following out tire Reform principle, and in gliding into the habits and practices of the devastating, destructive, ruinous, tyrannical Tories. We write, however, much less to admonish the Whigs, for they are beyond our reach, than to make the people aware, by the examples we have quoted, that, whatever may be their sufferings,what ever may be their distresses, the Tories would neither give up a tax nor allow them the privilege of com plaining of it. If the Whigs scourge us with whips, the Tories would scourge us with scorpions, and we should find the mercies and kindnesses of the latter a greater curse than the punishments and terrors of the former. The comparison which we published in our Even ing Edition on Saturday, of the establishments of the old and new Exchequer, must have satisfied our readers that the calumnies of the Times on that subject are pure fiction. It is right, however, to discriminate between the two transactions—th e alteration of the Exchequer, including the subse quent appointment of Sir JOHN NEWPORT to the office of Comptroller of the Exchequer in 1834, and the recent appointment of Lord MONTEAGLE to the same office, Sir JOHN NEWPORT, retiring, as is said, with a pension of 1,0001. a year. Now we wish it to be distinctly understood, that of this latter transaction we do not say a word, because we are ignorant of the facts. 'We do not know that Sir JOHN NEWPORT is to have the pension of 1,0001. We have heard that report positively contradicted. We do not know whether Lord MONTEAGLE is entitled to a pension according to law—he is not ac cording to justice ; but we have been assured that he is ; in which case the appointing him to the office of Comptroller of the Exchequer, instead ' of being an injurious job, so far as the public is concerned, is a beneficial irangement. We, how ever, have not the slightest wish to defend Lord MONTEAGLE. We never loved him in office, and care nothing for him in retirement. We would, however, give the Devil his due, though he be the least erect of all the spirits that fell from Heaven, and shall be ready to publish anything we may learn that will set Lord MONTEAGLE'S ap pointment to the Comptrollership of the Exchequer in a correct light. With Sir JOHN NEWPORT'S original appoint ment, and the alteration in the Exchequer, the case is very different. From his long services, and from the public benefits of that measure, we are ready to defend both. Sir JOHN NEWPORT for many years fought sturdily for his country in the ranks of opposition. He provoked a consider able number of inquiries into abuses in Ireland, and succeeded, in spite of the Tories, in remedying some of them. After Mr. O'CONNELL we know no Irish gentleman who has merited more at the hands of his country ; and if ever the Whigs de served of f ice, Sir JOHN NEWPORT richly deserved to share their power, and their emoluments. The post he received was not more than he merited. But whatever might be the job in his original appointment, it was perpretrated five years ago ; it was perpetrated, too, not by Lord MELBOURNE and Mr. RICE, but by Lords GREY and ALTHORP, Lord STANLEY and SIR JAMES GRAHAM being partners in the guilt. It was perpetrated before Lord MELBOURNE was Prime Minister, and while the Times was on the side of the Whigs. If the appointment displacing Mr. ELLIS, and requiring 2,0001. a year for doing duties which Mr. ELLIS performed for 1,4001., as is falsely said, were a job, why has the indignation of the Times, and why has the virtuous wrath of the Spectator, following in the wake of the Tory Times, and persisting in the course after the rocks against which the Times had shipwrecked its character had been indicated, slept till now ? Every part of the transaction, except the recent retirement of Sir JOHN NEWPORT and the recent appointment of Lord MONTEAGLE, was as open to censure any day these five years as , on last Wednesday. Five years ago censure might ; have had this advantage, that it would have fallen on those who deserved it, while to censure the pre sent Ministers is as unjust as it would be to praise the Tories for reforming the Exchequer. To cen sure the present Ministers for what was done by Lord ALTHORP and Earl GREY, is adding a grievous blunder to the direct falsehoods of which we have convicted the Times. Since that Journal has become so much scanda lized at 1,4001. a-year having been wasted for five N ears in a pension to Mr. ELLIS when he might have done Sir J. NEWPORT'S duties, why did it not carry back its investigation, and condemn the Tories, who for six years, when they were in office, must, on to iVlr. HUME'S statement, have wasted annually 30,400/. by not reforming the Exchequer agreeably to the recommendation of the Commissioners If to have wasted, according to the false statements of the Times, 1,4001. a year for five years be a great crime, how much greater must be the crime of wasting 30,4001. for six years ? However, we are glad to have the hypocritical, tyrannical Tories pleading in favour of care and economy, though we know that whenever they return to office they will take up again with their old vices. To keep them on the right side they must be kept in oppo sition. Mr. O'CONNELL has published, in the shape of an answer to an address of a Society, called the National Trades' Political Union, his long ex pected manifesto on the subject of rep ea l. I t i s a document of great length, nor is this prolixity re deemed by any of the merits which generally cha racterise the compositions of the author. It is ill reasoned and not well written, seeming rather like a task forced upon a man in the redemption of a pledge given in a heedless moment, than the effu sion of an ardent and vigorous mind, acting from the deep conviction of the importance of the prin ciples which it has embraced, and which it consi ders a duty to inculcate upon others. Even as a piece of special pleading it cannot claim a very high rank, and will certainly add nothing to Mr. O ' CONNELL'S fame as a logician, for, although weak arguments in abundance are pressed into the service, and invested with undue importance, there is little dexterity—not to say ingenuity—displayed in the manner in which this is done. For example ; one of the main reasons urged in tfainvgourridofofththe Protestant the Repeal of the Union, is time get- Mr. O'CosiNEoLc. wu' Church Establishment. ple of I re l and of t " A principle ,hue,rm:ion and i n d en tifi ca ti on , says s p o i u m l d r t d o i f s a e m c b a h r u r r a c s hN t v h h e i c p h e o is not that of the smajorityof the I r i s h peop l e.

This may be a " just and equitA able stimulant " for the CatlAie) but We help thinking that it is tiot taleuiated tai sti - - mtilatq the Protestant; . - With what cOntiqtri;Z:y, then, can Mr. O'CoN- Nti.i. call upon the Protestants, whose co,opet:a tion he holds to be ahsol.titely neeeSsary to the Vvii. , - doin and justif;.:;,, if not to the sikee?..s of the cause, to lend hitn :a 'helping How can he assert, as he &'e . § a l iitAe farther on, that " Irish Ptotet. , tantS ttUst be made to fee) theff properties, ',heir rights, and their religlon, will n o t b e i n j ure d by the Rep ea ' t!'" a . nd, " that they have nothing to lat , m its sectarians." Is it not obvious to the thillest capacity that the firgninent makes as much against him with the one party as it does for him with the other It would be easy to point out many other in stances of false or inconclusive reasoning ; but it is not necessary, for few readers can peruse the Learned Gentleman's epistle without seeing its fal lacies and its blunders. Its fundamental doctrine —so to speak—involves an absurdity. The very foundation on which he tries to build the whole superstructure of Repeal is a blunder. " The English," he says, in effect, " refuse to give us Corporate Reform, and some other things which we very much desire, and which we have a right to. As we cannot get these things, we must get Repeal." When this logic is interpreted, it amounts to the following syllogism :—" We have asked for a penny, and have been refused, therefore we shall receive a pound." We are decidedly opposed to the repeal of the Union, and to all attempts to effect it—first, be cause we know it to be utterly impracticable ; and, secondly, because, supposing it practicable, were it to take place it would be the greatest calamity that could befal Ireland. We are, however, far from entertaining any fears as to the result of the pre sent ill-advised attempt to resuscitate repeal agita tion. The people of Ireland are not such fools as to follow even their idol and benefactor in such a wild-goose chase. They have much to complain of —many grievances to be redressed—but they have yet to be persuaded that separation from Great Britain (for that is the point to which Mr. O'CoN NELL'S arguments apply, though they are ostensi bly directed towards a Repeal of the Union), would be a remedy for their evils, and would not rather ag gravate them a hundred fold. If the Police Magistrates and Police Commis sioners go on as they have commenced, the New Police Act will be made to serve the wildest pur poses ever contemplated by Sir ANDREW AGNEW or Mr. PouLTEa. The landlord of a well fre quented house on Hampstead-heath was fined 40s. on Saturday at Maryiebone Police-office, for serving dinner to several gentlemen on the afternoon of Sunday. One Magistrate did not consider the Act applied to the case, but another (Mr. CODD), who, we presume, is an Agnewite, was of a diffe rent opinion, and consequently inflicted the fine so that .under pretence of enforcing the Police Act, which does not contain one new enact ment on the subject, the inhabitants of London, who go thither for their health and recreation, are to be debarred from all refreshment for two hours. Yesterday, too, the Police Commissioners stuck up notices in the Strand, forbidding all cabs, carriages, omnibuses, &c., to pass the two churches between Catherine-street and Temple-Bar, during the hours of Church service, and posted constables at each extremity to enf orce t h e i r or d er. Th e public may well ask what they will do next. The supporters of the GovernilTnt are utterly at a loss to divine why the Whig Ministers allowed some of the clauses of the New Act to pass, and why the Home Secre tary remains silent, while public feeling is outraged by the absurd interpretation of others. Perhaps no Government ever was in such an anomalous position as regards religious matters. While the Tory Clergy and the Tory Magistrates denounce them as the enemies of the Church and religion, they are denounced, and not without reason, by the Liberal party as supporters of the extravagant claims of the Church—of antiquated observances, and of the most annoying and needless restrictions on the harmless amusements and recreations of the great body of the people. Among the most curious accounts received tWs morning from the East, we cannot omit especially noticing a statement that BOUTINIEF, the Russian Ambassador at the-Porte, is one of the most active of the persons who are seeking to convince the Governments of France and . England, that they ought forthwith to order the com Nned squadron now at the mouth of the Darcla , miles to proceed to Alexandria to compel the re storation of the Turkish fleet, or to burn both it and the Egyptian navy in the harbour. The secret reason assigned for the recommendation of this line of policy is characteristic. Russia can not conveniently throw a ".protectin g force" into CoriStantinople while the combined fleet remains at Tenedos.; but were it to depart for Alexandria, she could at once convey the im mense military force now concentrating on the frontier, to the Turkish capital without encounter ing the shadow of opposition. What under these circumstances ought England and France to do ? Give orders to the Admirals to take advantage of the first favourable wind, and bring the combined fleet to anchor in the Golden Horn. There only will they be able to laugh at the machinations of Russia. There is an absolute dearth of political news of any interest in the French Papers. The following telegraphic dispatch from the official columns of the Moniteur of Saturday, contains all the intelligence communicated f rom t h e S pan i s h f ront i er : PERPIGNAN, SEPT. 25. THE GENRRAL COMMANDING THE 21ST MILITARY DIVISION TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. On the 23d the Carlist chief Segara took possession of San Juan de las Abadesas. The fort of Campredon still held out ; on the 24th Count d'Ecipagne had his head quarters at Olot, and General Carbo was at Vich. Valdez marched on the 16th from Manresa to Cervcra. The Commander of Campredon writes, that on the 24th the Carlists had retired and raised the siege of the fort. Valdez left Vich on the 22d, and proceeded with his column in the direction of Berga. The popular dread of famine led to various tumults in different parts of France during the last week. Troops were required to preserve the public peace at Alencon, at Blois, at Tours, at Donde vine, and at Senlis. In Belgium the price of corn had reached the maximum towards the close of the week, and while it continues at that rate, or ex- ceeds it, the exportation of grain is illegal. This is regarded as peculiarly unfortunate by the French Government, as time has not been allowed for the importation of flour from the United States. In Paris the price of bread was lower on Saturday than during the week, bul the working classes re garded the relief as temporary, and as resulting rather from an arbitrary decision on the part of the Government than from any increase in the quantity or decrease in the demand for flour. In connection with the scarcity of grain, the com mercial correspondent of a Contemporary communi cates the following intelligence respectin g the State of the Money Market in Paris on Saturday, which is at this moment painfully interestin g : The bankers, who advanced the 5 0,000,000!. to Eng land, have had a meeting, at which the principal question was to ascertain whether the bills would be renewed on their falling due. A difference of opinion prevailed at first; some of the most influential houses insisted upon the repayment of their advances, but the opinion of the ma jority was, that the embarrassed state of the London Money Market, in addition to a bad harvest, and the ne cessity of foreign purchases of corn, would prevent the Bank of England from paying at the stated time, and con sequently it would be wiser to grant further accommodation. It was, therefore, resolved that a qua r te r ly renewa l o f the bills would be allowed. Affairs at the Bourse are still heavy. Capitalists are alarmed at the commercial crisis in London and the United States. Failures arc apprehended, and money becomes scarcer from day to day. French rentes are declining by degrees. It would appear that M. Passy, the Minister of Finance, is determined to redeem his pledge with respect to the conversion of the rentes Five per Cents. ; and that he will propose a measure on that subject in the approaching► session. The King is well aware of this intention, and will exercise his veto against it, as it is his firm resolve not to sanction a reduction during his reign, or fall out with the good citizens of Paris. The Spanish funds are evidently on the decline ; there are many sellers, but few buyers. The affairs of the East occupy a considerable portion of the Paris Journals of Friday and Satur day, but they contain no new fact, and elicit no extended or novel view of the details of this impor tant question. The Court gossip, and other scraps of news which impart some degree of animation to th ese journals, are all included in the following ex tracts:— The King and Queen of the French left St. Cloud at eight o'clock on Thursday evening for Fontainbleau, with a suite of nine carriages. Their Majesties reached that i . residence at one o'eioek in tbe morning!.

A C : , of the two fleets at 'Alexandria :—The number of ships II nearly the same in each. The Turkish fleet consists of 11 ships of the line, from 400 to 120 guns, and of 15 frigates, lions 4'd to bd guns. The ci:ewS ainisiutit..to 211,000 men, besides.four regiments of 7,000 men.

The Egyptian sailors are ell &loans iit ttntlt tart fi them era .7130.th1i tufil twelve io illtteen years of age. The artillery of the Egyptian fleet is on the French model ; that of the Turks on the English model. The Egyptian guns are all of one calibre (32 pounders). Those of the Turks are of different calibres (12, 18, and 24 pounders). Every Turkish ship of the line has besides 48 inch mortars, throwing bombs of from 501bs. or 601ba. weight. The Egyptians have, therefore, the advantage in respect to their guns, but in bsttle the advantage is compensated to the Turkish ships by the bombs.—Constitutionnel, Sept. 28. PROVISIONING THE Anmy.—The French Go vernment in consideration of the high price of provi sions has directed the Minister of War to levy a supplementary credit of 2,643,000 f., which is to be applied to the wants of the troops quartered in the interior of the kingdom, and in the North of Africa. NA VAL REGULATION,--A Royal Ordinance, dated the 26th inst., published in the Monileur, provides that the young seamen destined to serve in the merchant navy, and intended to become captains of merchant vessels, may hereafter be tem porarily employed on board the vessels of the mili- tary navy, in the capacity of volunteers. In order to be entitled to admission, they must not be under eighteen nor above twenty-two years of age. They are required to prove that they have na vigated durir:g eighteen months, either in military or mercantile vessels, that they speak and write the French language correctly, and that they can observe the height of the stars, calculate the lati tude, &c.. The number of volunteers admitted into the vessels of war is not to exceed one-half of that of midshipmen. They are to rank immediately after those of the second class, to discharge the same duties, dine at the same table, and to be treated like them in every respect. Their pay is fixed at 40 francs per month, and, if disabled in the service, they are to be pensioned by the State. According to advices from Bayonne of the 25th inst. Cabrera had established his head-quarters at Valera, in . the province of Cuenca, and was then at the head of 10,000 infantry and 1,200 cavalry.

The Ch am b ers h a d t h en b een sitting for twenty-one days, and yet enough of De puties had not assembled to constitute a House competent to adopt laws and vote taxes. In the Madrid Gazette of the 19th, we find the following Royal Decree, which may be regarded as an earnest of the moderation of the Government, and of its determination to abide by the stipulations of the Bergara. Convention : " ROYAL DECREE. " Earnestly desiring that the peace which the provinces in the north are beginning to enjoy should be secured and strengthened throughout the whole kingdom, upon the in destructible basis of the lore and gratitude of the people; and wishing to give an unequivocal proof of the sincerity of my desire to forget all past disturbances, and to see in all Spaniards obedient and faithful subjects of the 4hrone of my august daughter Isabel IL, and also to show how grateful and satisfactory has been to me the measure adopted, amongst many others, by the Illustrious General the Duke de la Victoria, of raising the sequestrations and retainers upon property, effect e d t h roug h the orders of the Government and military chief. ; and agreeing in the unanimous judgment of my Council of Ministers, and until the law of amnesty which my Government is pre paring to present to the C'ortes is published, I have re solved as follows: Art. 1. The measures adopted by the General-in-Chief, the Duke de la Victoria, in the provinces of the North, with respect to removing the sequestration and return of property to its respective owners, are hereby confirmed. " Art. 2. All decrees and resolutions, general or parti cular, which ordained the sequestration of property on account of political motives in the provinces of the North, which have submitted to the conditions of the Convention of Bergara, stand repealed from the date hereof. " Art. 3. Sequestrated property, or estates, shall im mediately devolve to the rightful owners so soon as they acknowledge the constitutional government of my august daughter Donna Isabella 11., and claim such property. " Art. 4. This recognition of my government, and pre senting themselves to claim their property, should be verified in the term of ten days, if the interested persons reside in the provinces of their former abode ; in the term of twenty days, if they reside in the Peninsula; in that of two months, if living in foreign countries; and in that of four months in the colonies, excepting those residing in the Philippine Islands, to whom the term of twelve months is extended—it being incumbent upon all such persons to obtain from the respective and legitimate authorities where they reside, or from the representatives or agents of my government in foreign countries, certificates of submission or obedience to the throne of my august daughter. " A. D. JUAN CARRAMOLINO. _. t ." Palace of Madrid, Sept. 18, 1839." On the 20th despatches from Lord PALMER STON to Mr. SOUTHERN, the British Charge d'Affaires at the Court of Spain, arrived at Madrid. They were said to be of an important nature, and probably relate to the question of the fueros and the ultimate disposal of Don CARLOS. The banking-house of O'SHEA and Company has just submitted a proposal to the Spanish Go vernment, for paying up the arrears due to the Bri tish Auxiliary Legion. The Minister of Finance has promised to give it proper attention. Tire general joy in Madrid for the expulsion of CARLOS from the Spanish soil was unabated. le Dezons were ordered to be sung in all the churches of the kingdom, in celebration of a thanksgiving for so happy an event. ESPARTERO was shortly ex pected in Madrid on his way to Arragon and Cata lonia, when it was reported that the QUEEN would invest him with the Order of the Golden Fleece. SUICIDE OF A GENTLEMAN OF FORTUNE. On Sunday afternoon about half-past two o'clock, the inhabitants of Vernlam-buildings, Gray's-inn, was thrown into consternation and alarm by hearing a report of fire arms; on inquiry it was ascertained that Mr. Moore, re siding on the third floor at No. 1, Verulam-buildings, had put an end to his existence by shooting himself through the head by a pistol. A surgeon was instantly sent for, but life was extinct before he arrived. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 28.—Baron O'Sullivan de Gras has left the Grand Duchy of Baden, and arrived on the 20th September at Stuttgard, to present his credentials to the King of Wirtemburg, as Minister from Belgium to his Court. SWITZERLAND. The Swiss journals contain sad accounts of the ravages occasioned throughout the country by the inundations. A part of the Simplon road had been destroyed by the Rhone. The com munication between Lyons and Geneva had been like wise interrupted, and the bridge situate at the entrance of Fort Ll:Ouse carried away by the flood. On the St. Gothard-road equally deplorable accidents occurred, and in Ticino and Uri the damages sustained were as extensive as those caused by the great inundation in 1834. By advices from Havre we learn that a remit ! tanco bad reached that port from the United States, against part of the amount of bills which were placed in an " untoward" situation by what has occurred in Paris and Havre. The only circumstance that has transpired connected with the arrangement between Mr. Jaudon and the Directors of the Bank of England is, that that gentleman fully expects that he may not require any ac commodation ; if so, that it will not exceed 100,0001. At an early period Mr. Jaudon will be put in possession of a large sum of specie, which is now, in all probability, on the passage across the Atlantic. The sensation p ro . duced in the City by the application of Mr. Jaudon to the Bank Directors has almost entirely subsided.—Post.

By ancient usage the Sheriffs of London proceed in O'faud procession to the Court of Exchequer, to be pre sented tO the Barons of that Court. Accordingly this morning the companies to which the Sheriffs belong met in the Cordwainers' Hall at ten o'clock, in the Ball-room of which upwards of one hundred and twenty genildiftnt sat down to a most sumptuous dejeuner a la fourchelle. After discussing which Mr. SHARPE (the Master of the Cordwainers' COM ploy, who presided) gave the health of Mr. Sheriff Ervris, which was drunk with all the honours. 'the SHERIFF returned thanks. He did not upon that occasion intend to make a speech, nor tell them the manner in which it was his intention to fulfil the duties of the high office to which he had been called by the voice of his fellow-citizens. He would, however, say that it would be his endeavour to maintain the honour and dignity of the Shrievalty to the utmost of his power. —(Cheers.) He begged to return them his most sin cere thanks for the honour conferred upon him. The health of Mr. Sheriff Wheelton having been proposed and responded to most enthusiastically, he said the enthusiastic manner in which they had received the toast overwhelmed him with gratitude— although it was, as yet, undeserved, he trusted that when their year of office had expired, both he and his colleague would be found to have maintained the privi leges and dignity of the high office they had been called upon to fill by the unanimous choice of their fel low citizens, with honour to themselves and advantage to the City. He hoped it would then be found that they had discharged their duties to the satisfaction of those who elected them, and to the satisfaction of their own consciences. The , MASTER then proposed the healthy of the Un der. Sheriffs, Messrs. France and Jackson, who severally returned thanks. The health of the Master of the Distillers' Company was then drank. In returning thanks, he said the Dis tillers' Company felt deeply grateful for the manner in which they had been received by the Cordwainers' Com pany, both on Saturday last and that morning. He trusted that those meetings would lead to a close friend ship between the two Companies, which he hoped would not close with the year.—(Cheers.) Mr. Sheriff EVANS proposed the health of the Master of the Cordwainers' Company.—Drank with the honours. Mr. SHARPE felt proud of the honour conferred upon him, and concurred in all that bad fallen from the Mas ter of the Distillers' Company. Mr. WHEELDON proposed " the health of those gentlemen who had honoured him and his colleague with their company upon that occasion." Mr. DAVIS, fur the Distillers' Company, and Mr. RICHARDS, !or that of the Cordwainers, returned thanks. Mr. MiLL Alto (the clerk of the Cordwainers' Com pany), proposed—" The Cord wainers' and the Distillers' Companies, and may they live in unananimity and har mony for ever." Drunk with much applause. The band of the Fusilier Guards played several airs during the proceedings, The procession was then formed under the direction of Mr. Harper, the eminent trumpeter, and his son. The banners and flags were numerous and very splendid, especially the first, which were all new, made of silk, and splendidly emblazoned. They consisted of two standards of England, the City banner, that of Mr. Sheriff Wheelton (presented by him to the Cordwainers' Company), that of the Company, also Mr. Sheriff Evans' banner, and that of the Distillers' Company. The pro cession was a very numerously attended one, with music, and all the City officers. It went from Friday -street up to Guildhall. At the bottom of King-street it was joined by the Lord Mayor, and then went on to Wa terloo.bridge, whence the Company proceeded to West minster in the state barge. WESTMINSTER RFGISTRA TION. (THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. MYLNE and Mr. CRAIG.) IMPORTANT DECISION AS TO RESIDENCE.—The vote of Captain John Benaut Smith, of Eaton-place, had been objected to by the Liberals, on the ground that he had not occupied in conformity with the mean ing of the Act ; and the case stood over for argument this morning, before both the Revising Barristers, the point being of considerable importance, inasmuch as a great number of the most influential inhabitants are placed in the same situation, in consequence of letting their houses to the nobility during the season. Mr. MYLNE said it was always desirable to avoid giving any opinion upon questions, other than those it was necessary to determine, because he could confi dently say there had been no case in which be had held that a person could be considered as resident during six months, unless during that six months he had had within the borough, or within the requisite distance, some place of abode to which he might at any period, of his own free will and pleasure, resort. Now, it did not appear that during the whole of the six months preceding the 31st of July of this year either of these gentlemen had such place of abode. On the contrary, it appeared that during that interval for which the premises had been let to other persons these gentlemen had not any place of abode to which they might have resorted as of right, and at their own free will and pleasure. Upon these grounds it appeared to him that this case might be decided against them. The lists were finally disposed of about two o'clock, and the Court then broke up. The number of claims and objectionsestablished by the Liberals, is 214 ; and by the Conservatives 286. LATEST NEWS FROM AMERICA By the packet ship Roscoe, which arrived at Liver pool on Sunday, we have received New York and Ca nada Papers, the former to the Bth, and the latter to the 4th instant, both inclusive. They contain no poli tical or commercial news of the least importance. The following extract from the New York Courier and In quirer shows the state of the Money Market previous to the sailing of the packet : " NEW YORK, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. 6.—The transactions in stocks to-day were again to a moderate extent, though, generally, at prices showing a trifling improvement on the previous quotations. Sales were made of Delaware and Hudson Canal Company at 674 ; United States Bank, 1051, buyers 15 days ; Bank of Ccnmerce, 854 ; North American Trust Company, 64f ; Stonington Railroad Company, 231 ; and Har lem Railroad Company, 47i. " The sales of sterling exchange for transmission by the packet leaving for Liverpool to-morrow were to a fair extent, and chiefly effected at from 1081 to 109/ per cent. premium, though in a few instances a higher rate was obtained. On France we quote bills at sf. 20c. to sf. 221 e. " Advices from Havannah state that the British packet Hope (at that port on the 22d ult., from Mexico for England) had on board 1,300,000 dollars in specie." The Philadelph;a Correspondent of the same Journal reports the following late commercial news from that city : PHILADELPHIA, SEPT. s.—Although money matters are decidedly easier than they were, still we find that some few of our merchants have become so entangled with their bnsiness or other engagements as to find it necessary to suspend payments, and I regret to say that yesterday unfortunately brought forth five occurrences of the kind above alluded to. They were all, I believe, heavily engaged in the grocery business, and the amount for which they have failed is to a very considerable ex tent. As the occurrences were not altogether unlooked for, they have not produced the effect that they other wise would. Stocks have not varied materially in price since yes terday. At the second board, 18 shares United States Bank sold at 106 ; 48 Girard Bank at 43 ; 50 Vicks burg at 351- ; 10 Schuylkill Navigation 86i ; Philadel phia Bank at 101,4._ PHILADELPHIA; SEPT. 6.—Accounts of disasters in the late gale along the coast south of the Delaware Bay continue to arrive by every mail. It is indeed distress ing to peruse the different papers containing the de scription of sufferings, and the devastation of property. Money transactions have been more fluctuating to day, and a considerable advance in the price of Vicks burg Bank Stock has taken place ; yesterday it closed at 361 bid, 364 asked. Sales to day after the second board, of 100 shares at 361, s. o. 10 days ; Kentucky and Schuylkill also ad vanced ; United States' Bank sold at 1051 to 10.54 ; 50 shares Kentucky, s. o. 15 days, 79. Other stocks without change. Tranquility continued to prevail on the Canadian frontier. The harvest was everywhere good, so that a large quantity of grain may be expected to be soon ready for exportation for Europe. SOUTH AMERICA. The ship Richard Alsop, from Valpariso, brings us accounts from that place to the 13th of June. Accord ing to these, tranquillity prevailed there and in the adja cent country, and business had assumed a more h ea l t h y aspect. At Lima also all was quiet, and it was be lieved there the Chilians would evacuate Peru in the course of a month. General Santa Cru z , w i t h hi s ad herents, was at Guayaquil. The United States ship Falmouth sailed from Valparaiso for Callao on the 12th of June ; all well.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 28.—0 n Wednesday even ing there was an explosion of fire damp in a new shaft at Seraing, by which four workmen lost their lives. The accident seems to have been occasioned by a defective lamp. 5,62.3 1 SMITHFIELD.

Exchange on London, 109 i to lo9i ; United States Bank, 10.51 to 105:k. The business done in Stocks was rather light, but the prices had somewhat improyed. The Philadelphia Herald states that there were two or three failures, but they had no effect either on the Money Market or on the Stocks. The Great Western steamer had not arrived but was hourly expected ; she was anxiously looked for at New York, and her return to England will, in all probability, relieve the great difficulty in which the United States' agent is placed. Until the arrival of the Great Western steamer _no more can be said in respect to the above Bank. We have received Montreal Papers of the tth Sep tember, and Quebec Papers of the 2d September. LOWER CANADA.—The weather has been fine some days past—cool on Wednesday night. There was a frost on some of the highlands. The labours of the harvest are going on, and if no further interruption takes place, the grain will be generally housed at an earlier period than usual. The reports from the lower parts of this district continue favourable.

It is positively stated that two 1 millions of francs had arrived at Havre, by the ship Sally, from the United States, on account of the United States Bank ; and in the course of a month or six weeks a very considerable sum, said to be three or four hundred, thousand pounds in specie, is expected. This being settling day in the Foreign Market, the heaviest accounts to settle are the Spanish Active, Por tuguese, and Mexican. All appears to the present hour going off well, although money has been extremely scarce for these several days past. The near approach of the payment of the dividends will no doubt give a more plentiful supply to the Money Market. THE FUNDS.

MARRIAGE OF THE QUEEN. —The moment ous affair of the marriage of her Majesty is at last a" ranged ; indeed, all is settled, as far a s the part ie themselves are concerned, except as to " t he when. Preparations for some time past have been ma kin g at the Castle for the reception of Prince Albert (the des tined husband of the Queen), who, with his young er brother (and some say his father), is expected to arrives on a visit to her Majesty, in the course of the ensuing week, perhaps to-morrow, or Tuesday. Grand d o ing' and entertainments upon an extensive and magnificent scale are then in contemplation. It appears that her Majesty has been " husbanding her resources," in this r espect, for some time past, which will account f a . n n : royal dinners, or even a ball, having been giv en °fl at her Majesty's last visit to Windsor. The p arties her the Royal table have been hitherto confi ned to Majesty's suite, and some few of the resid ent nnb'iltl and gentry. We are assured that the at tachment ' the part of her Majesty, is not of short duration ; ore upwards of a year and a half ago , a portrait of tb! Queen, painted by Chalon, was transmitted by c ommand of her Majesty to the young Prince, then, we believe , at Brussels. It is a well known fact — at least, well known to all about the Court, who have had access to her Majesty—that the affair was originally " go t u p ' by the King of the Belgians, and his sister, the Duchess of Kent, aided by the Baroness Lehzen, who has been no unimportant personage as an actor in the drama which is now so near approaching its termination.— Sunday Times. The Duke of Roxburghe is to have the Green Ribbon, vacant by the death of the Earl of Lauder.- dale.—lt is reported that Lord Lyttelton is to be Lord-Lieutenant of Worcestershire, in place of Lord Foley, who, it is said, has resigned that office,---We understand that Mr. Rowland Hill is about to proceed to Paris, under the direction of the Treasury, to inspect the Post-office arrangements in France, for the purpose of obtaining the fullest information on that subject. Observer. At the Privy Council to be held at Windsor to day Mr. Macaulay will be sworn in a MeMber of ber Majesty's Council. ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—A very young lady' named Corro, a pupil of the Royal Academy, made ber first appearance here on Saturday, as Rosins, in D ie Barber <f Seville. Her voice is a soprano, swehetr and flexible, and has been cultivated with car e ; t execution reflects much credit on the taste and ju d g men of those who have had the charge of her musical eclair' tion. The piece was not well cast ; yet notwithstand ing the inefficient support she received, and the diffieenc ° and anxiety natural to a young and modest performers she gave great promise of future success, and Wall ell s thusiastically and repeatedly cheered by a nu meron d audience. Her voice is of considerable et:AV ; Mi r though her carriage and manner are somewhat stiff, be appearance altogether warrants us in thinking that pr o tice and attention to good models, will soon recoil.' the defect. The first aria (Una voce poeo fa 11 , 2 . the original opera) was given by Miss Cerra in at very finished manner ; slightly deteriorated by th a t tremor and bashfulness almost always incident to a fi.r,. appearance. The lesson scene, "An old man v eould s ; wooing go," was given with more self-possession, and enthusiastically encored. ASTLEY'S THEATRE.—The Tournament herd lo,es nothi ng of int eres t by repe ti t i on , for crowde s houses continue to give the best unequivocal the fact by their attendance, The piece is not simP l Y silent show of the machinery of a Tournament , but tbe h r ; is dialogue to supply a stor, including tbe„l aws e ' t e - chances, the losses, and the general objects of such hibitions, agreeably to the '? • • which 110 wer estimation in , t • t held by the people of those times. In the in in ten times. of the piece, Ducrow appears to have drawn owed profusely upon his vein for spectacle. He has au mliwn o d proof oat to his aid apparently all he knew of stage effect a p i s scenic illusion. The groupings in detached OW : 5 h - e a were great, and the tableaux, in fact, were great ; ' were magnificent. WOODEN PAVEMENTS.—In the e Mary.

The present building, which was PIO" s i nc e one of the Smirkes, is considered a dead failure si tv the Reform Club has towered above it, and the won e 'd Conservatives cannot brook the idea of being su ir rP lP ' s . re by a Radical crew without rank or property.

We r Conservatives streets will imitate the Reformersonly stilltrus fartb% and build their new house of lasting materials- t Reform Club House is the only one in Pall Mall but of stone. THE WEATHER. —On Friday afternoon the fell three degrees, with slight showers in the co urse e n; the evening, and s erious apprehensions were entertain le, that we should have a return of unpropitious weath..; These apprehensions, however, were soon removed. (-) Saturday and yesterday it was dry, with abundance or sunshine. The mercury is gradually rising, and the fa' vourable appearances to-day, bright sunshine and dry_ wind, together with cheering accounts from all parts of. mercur): the country, encourage the hope that the remainder 0/ the crops will be gathered with much less damage th an was anticipated. ~'~
