Morning 26 minutes after I. I Evening ... 53 minutes after I. LONDON : MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1831. We copy from the Carlisle Journal the sen tence of two men at the Cockermouth Sessions for being concerned in what is called the Chartist con spiracv—a curious conspiracy, all loud blustering vapour and no deeds. It consisted of designs an nounced and never executed. The Ribbon plot in Ireland, as sworn to by Mr. ROWAN'S witness, who had no name, with its committees and sub committees, general leaders, and passwords, is a I substantial conspiracy ; but the Chartist conspiracy, concocted by Mr. HARNEY spouting, and Mr. FEA anus O'CONNOR running about and writing, is of a new genus and species. But if there was a conspiracy amongst the Chartists it was to overturn the Constitution, and such conspirators deserve an other mode of trial than before the Justices at ses sions, and another sort of punishment than six months' imprisonment. It seems, however, that the offence, though called a conspiracy, was manu facturing pikes, which men at Birmingham do, or rather guns, which are more deadly weapons, on a large scale and commit no offence. We never before heard that it was an offence at law to manufacture a pike. If it be, we would have school-boys be careful, for the young rogues manufacture at times both pikes and guns. We suppose, however, the guilt lay in the intention—for guilt there must have been, as the men pleaded guilty—and we should have liked that the intention had been proved before more competent aad less prejudiced judges—judges more responsible to public opinion than shifting, on the bench to day and gone to-morrow, country squires. Sup posing the offence of conspirin g to overturn the Constitution by force of arms, or to resist the lawful authorities, to have been proved against the pike manufacturers, we cannot agree with the Carlisle Journal, that these men were too hardly dealt with, according to the usual practice of the law. LOVETT and COLLINS have been sentenced to one year's imprisonment for using a few bold and imprudent words, and a conspirator who forges arms to carry his conspiracy into effect, is surely a much greater criminal than either of these two men. We can, however, see no offence the two men at Cocker mouth were guilty of, beyond that of forging pikes, which is no offence at all. If that were their crime their punishment is much too heavy—if they were conspirators, much too light. We are much afraid that those who have now power in their hands, are wresting the law to their own temporary purposes, a course of proceeding which we are afraid they may Yet have cause bitterly to rue. The " Revivals" in Scotland, which have ex cited such commotion in the religious community in the North, and brought such disgrace on a por tion of the Presbyterian Church, whin viewed in a charitable and general point of view, can he re ,,•arded merely as symptoms of a mental disease w;iieb, in the form of a moral epidemic, is rapidly spreading over the land. The young clergy of a certahi class in the Established Church of Scotland seem impressed with the belief that pure religion has been banished from the country, that the people are sunk in the lowest depths of iniquity, and that nothing can save them from divine wrath but in cessant preaching and praying, and the observance of religious rites more stringent even than those practised in the days of the Covenanters. This epidemic commenced with EDWA RD IRVING, who enuTh!llll:CatCCl it to the clergyman who established and, though pa r ti a lly con the " Rowite Heresy," c ealed for a time, it has, in nearly the same quar ter, broken out with increased fury. Like him, the Revivalists regard most of their brethren in the Church as heretics—like him they hold meet ings in the dark, and, taking advantage of the solemnity of the scene, and the impression made on their hearers, assume to themselves with perfect sincerity something like a power divine, and die exclusive privilege of explaining the oracles of truth. But this epidemic is not confined to Scot land. It is raging in the Church of England. It manifested itself first at the University of Oxford— it has 5 inile spread among the Clergy, and though exhibiting s-ariptoms, varied by circumstances, by climate, perhaps by the dispositions of the people, or the geniu s of ,their established religion, it has all the worst qualities of the original distemper—con tempt for the authority of the Church as well as the State, exclusive pretensions to authority for defining the only true religion, and an unquestion able sincerity in enforcing their tenets as the only possible means fur the salvatio n of the countr. Dr. PILSEY is certainly mad enough _as mad in his way as the Revivalist BURNS in the north ' • but he falls far short of one of his who, follo iwerns,thaesmeednaibyesr, of the Church of England, actually proposes the " revival of monastic insti tutions in England. A reverend gentleman of tLe name of `ti ACKERBA RTII has published a book on the subject, which we have not had tim e or inclination to peruse, but the following account of it, from a sober minded and generally impartial Weekly Contemporary, will give our reader some idea of the plan. The Athenaeum of Saturday makes these re marks on Dr. WACKERBARTH'S system of , " Revivals • ikjtrdicious examination of monachism, its origin, nature, !DA miuence upon society, would be a valuable work; but which can scarcely be expected in an ag e where enrytAng, howeve r remotely connected with re li g i ous in has become the subject of controversy, and I whOttWe great aim o f t h eologians seems to be to deters mine how small a portion of Christian charity is necessary in discussions between Ch r i st i an sects, The author of I ...,,, • ar . ,te e'' ' ' 4 . .

Assuming that the section of the Church of England, which adheres to the principles of the Oxford tracts alone, represents the true Catho lic and Apostolic Church, he pours the vials of his wrath on all other denominations, sects, and parties, and invoking the spirits of Thomas of Canterbury, and Gregory VII., and taking for his motto the legal apho rism, " Nullum tempos occurrit ecclesim," he demands.ted in that all the monastic lands, impropriate tithes, &c., forfeited the time of Henry VIII., be restored to the Church , that the ecclesiastical body be rendered independent of the State, and that the Erastian principle of lay interference in Church government be for ever abandoned. Why his favou rite saints, Becket and Hildebrand, would have paused be fore making such sweeping demands. The Tridentine sec. taries, as he calls the members of the church of Rome, ne ver made such extravagant claims in the wildest days of hiero cracy. The spirit in which the book is written will probably, prevent its obtaining the attention which the immediate sub ject of it may justly claim. The author complains, with some show of justice, that the Anglican Church is defective in machinery, that the ;parochial system—however efficient in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, is inadequate to the reiigious instruction of the crowded and dense population that has grown up in the manufacturing tots ns—and that som e intermediate instruction is necessary between the cler gymen, fresh from the refine ments o f t h e un i vers i ty, an d t h e co arse intelligence of artisans and rustics. To the want of such an intermediate he ascribes the growth of Methodism; these itinerant preachers brought their doctrines more level to the minds of their auditory than a senior wrangler or first-class man had either the power or the will to do ; they thus acquired the same influence over Anglican Protestants which the Preaching Friars possessed over the Remanists—we beg pardon, " the Tridentine secta ries." Mr. Wackerbarth is not satisfied with the similar efforts made by that section of our Church commonly called Evangelical ; home-missions and itinerant mis,ion aries, in his view, labour under the capital defect that they are self-constituted, and consequently that, to a certain extent, they recognize the congregational and voluntary principles. He deems that no system of religious in struction should be recognized which does not emanate directly from the constituted ecclesiastical authorities ; and furthermore, he distinctly charges the whole evan gelical party with being " false brethren," and Dissenters under a thin disguise. As a remedy for all these evils he proposes that monastic institutions should be re vived, and points out, with considerable ability their pro bable effect in checking schism, their influence as a means of evangelizing large towns, and supplying machinery for the direction of National education. To these he adds their advantages as depositories of ecclesiastical learn ing, and their effect in forming local fortresses by which the clergy might be enabled to resist the encroachments of the Civil Power. Such a proposal at the present day is sufficiently remarkable, and not less so is the recognition of Thomas a Becket and Hildebrand as saints, by one who represents a large and influential section of the Anglican Church. But religious schemes are not confined to Pres byterians and Protestant Episcopalians. The Clergy of France also have their " Revivals," and have entered into fasting and prayer for the con version of all the heretics of this Protestant country. Even Mr. O'CoNNEEL, in the general rage for " Revivals," forgets Repeal, and joins in the wild cry for uniting in one undivided faith the thousand and one sects, or shades of sects, and gathering them all under the wings of the Lady, denominated by them the " Whore of Babylon." The Tory party too—or, as they are fond of calling themselves, the Protestant party—are in absolute terror of " Re vivals." One of their organs, on Saturday, an nounced with sorrow, that all is going on worse and worse for them, and that every day unquestionably darkens the prospects of Protestantism in this country ; and the Quarterly Review tells them that they are ruined " beyond human relief," unless they adopt the system of Revivals by HEAD (not the Clergyman, who also has one of his own), and act " without delay on fixed principles." One remarkable feature, too, marks all these dif ferent shades of the disease—and whether we look to the symptoms of Mr. BURNS or Dr. PUSEY, or the Archbishops of COLOGNE and POSEN, we see a rage for uncontrolled power, and the most insuf ferable of all despotisms, the despotism of religion. Could better proofs of a general epidemic be given The sober portion of the community look on with sorrow, because, like most distempers of a similar character, it is beyond human aid, and they there fore wait patiently for the natural cure—the Revival of Common Sense. The Times of Saturday, had an article in the spirit of which we most cordially and entirely agree. The Times proposes that henceforth the adminis• tration of the British Navy shall be conducted solely with a view to the promotion of the true in terests of the country, and the encouragement of merit, without any regard whatever for the sup posed claims of political partizanship, or Ministerial or family influence. We rejoice to find the most influential of our political opponents de claring in favour of a system which, for the last seven years, has had our most strenuous support ; and the Times may rest assured that it shall neither want our aid in enforcing the wisdom of adopting such a proposal, nor our recollection of the solemn pledge which it has now given to abide by it, no matter who may be in office, should our Contemporary deem it commercially prudent again to box the political compass. In Heaven's name let the Navy be no longer made the political plaything of any faction in the State. The affairs of the Navy are national, not party considerations ; and the Minister, be he Whig, Tory, or Radi cal, who would not scruple to sacrifice the inte rests, the efficiency, and glory of the naval service, to the gratification of his friends, the enriching of h:s relatives, or the reward of his supporters in or out of Parliament, would deserve to be publicly branded as not only an enemy, but as a disgrace to his country. In illustration of the anti-persecuting and be , - aignant spirit of the Protestant Prussian Govern ment—of which a great deal has lately been said, especially in contrast to the persecuting, morose spirit of the Catholic Government of Austria—we beg attention to the following paragraph. Many of our readers will probably be aware that the latter Government has lately been most severely con demned for compelling some Protestants to leave the Tyrol, and the forme: has been as much lauded for planting them in Silesia. Now read how it has constrained, or wished to constrain, the consciences of its own subjects. We take the following para graph from a Buffalo paper (United States), which reached England by the British Queen : THE PRUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS.—These immigrants conti. nue to excite attention, and their prolonged stay in our city has led some to think that they would remain during the winter, and become a tax upon us. No fears of that kind need be entertained. The party now here are from Prussian Silesia, and number about 700. In a few days they expect to be joined by about 300 more, next spring by 1,260, and during next summer by perhaps 1,000 or 2,000 of their countrymen, making in all not less than 4,000. They are Protestants of the Lutheran church. A new organization of the religious establishment in Prussia having been ef fected, the King ordered all his subjects to join it, threaten ing certain penalties for non-conformity. This being in many respects repugnant to the feelings of the old esta blishment, the more firm and thoughtful refused obedience to the royal commands. People who would thus sacrifice long cherished associa tions and abandon the land of their fathers rather than do what their consciences forbade, are not likely to become a burden upon any community. The fact is that both these Governments insist on prescribing, to a bleat extent, the faith of their subjects, and as long as they submit and conform to the State ritual, whether Catholic or Protestant, all goes smoothly on; but when either the Lutherans and the Pietists in Silesia, or the Protestants in the Tyrol, adhere to a faith of their own selection, then their chapels and churches are shut up, and they are dragooned into submission or compelled to ex patriate themselves. has now taken the Tories under its especial A We e kly J o u r nal, once a Radical, which protecti on , a d v i ses t h em, as an Opposition, to d o what is liberal and just, and " win golgle n op i n i ons from all sorts of men. " I t wou ld • have them bid for popular favour. Can the Ethiop cast his skin ? Can ti3e Tories, either in oppositio u or in power ever depart from the prin ciple which i s t h e b asis of their political existence ? Toryism is to govern in spite of popular favour. I t is founded on despising the people, and coercing the popular will. It aims at de basing and degrading the people. At all hazards it seeks the aggrandisement of one or two classes, and them only, which can only be oh- "'~ . tamed by keeping thr! r: ' s do.ln, It may be beaten into concessions ; it never willingly makes them. This Weekly Print asks the Tories, then, to cast off their nature—to cease to be Tories. Is it so simple as to believe that they will give up Toryism, or does it wish to beguile the people into placing confidence in a set of politicians whose principles are opposed to social improvement? F'!veral in&pcndent b..A - dering, on Pfz- a The Debais takes a very enlightened and just view of this question, and recapitulates with great clearness the substance of the several docu ments presented to Parliament. We shall take another opportunity of detailing more minutely the conclusions arrived at by our Gallic Contemporary. There is no political news of the slightest interest in the Paris Journals. What little news they con tain will be found in the subjoined extracts : The Moniteur of Saturday publishes the convention, concluded at Paris, August 27, between France and Belgium, for the opening of the canal called the Es pierre, in the Belgium territory, which is to serve as a prolongation of the French canal Roubaix, as far as the Scheldt, towards Warming. The Corsaire, a scurrilous and libellous publication, has brought an action for defamation against the Court organ, the Presse, and on Friday the Tribunal Correc flannel condemned M.Dujarrier,the responsible publisher of the Presse. to one month's confinement and a tine of 100 francs, besides 10,000 francs damages and ail the costs of the action, or in default of wi:ich +l. )ears' confinement. We refer our readers to an article in another column, copied from the Leicestershire Mercury, from which it will be seen that the friends of reli gious liberty in the town of Leicester have made a noble and successful stand in defence of their prin ciples. In three parishes the attempts of the do minant sect to pick the pockets of their Dissent ingfellow-citizens, for the support of the national (?) worship, have met with a signal defeat. It will be seen by the subjoined address to the Electors of Devonport and East Stonehouse, that Sir EDWARD CODRINGTON has accepted the Portsmouth Command. This is an appointment to which the Gallant Officer is every way entitled ; first, from his long and efficient naval services ; and secondly, from his liberal political principles, which, through evil report and good report, he has always maintained with firmness and spirit in Parliament:— To the Electors of the Borough of Devonport and Town- Auguste Blanqui, says the Gazette des Tribunaux, persists in his resolution of not answering any questions which are put to him by the examining M igistrates. The Count d'Espagne has taken and burned the town of Moya General Valdes, on learning the circum stance, started immediately in pursuit of the Carlists. La Presse asserts, that " the refketions of the press on the colonisation of New Zealand by the English, in contempt of the rights and independence of the country proclaimed and acknowledged by Act of Parliament, have not found our Government insensible. The Mi nister of Marine has been induced to call for the cap tain and officers of the sloop Heroine ; and M. de St. Hilaire, Director of the Colonies, has received instruc tions to collect from them information relating to those parts of the country they have visited." The Commerce publishes an article dated Constan tinople, the 26th ult., which, if well founded, goes to justify the suspicion that the Shah of Persia is in an understanding with Mehemet Ali. " Immediately after learning the issue of the battle of Nezib," says the article in question, " the Shah of Persia sent a cou rier to Ali Pacha of Mossul, demanding the payment of 2,000,000 of talarus, due by his predecessor on account of certain incursions of the Turks. Ali Pacha had a conference with the Persian envoy, but it was attended with no result, in consequence of which the latter de clared that 20,000 Persian troops should march on Bagdad." The whole proceeding was attributed to Russian influence. A Paris Journal has the following passage :—" It seems that the matrimonial laurels of Count Mole hinder the victor of Toulouse from sleeping, and that he has now almost forgotten the Oriental question, to devote his whole attention to an affair of marriage. It a fixed idea in the mind of the old warrior. In the saloons, in the council, be continually repeats, " We must marry the Duke de Nemours." It may be readily believed that this cry finds a sympathetic echo in the Palace, and that the Marshal is encouraged to persist in his glorious enterprize ; he has accordingly already prepared several expeditions to go in quest of the wife, whom it is so difficult to find. One thing, however, vexes the old Marshal, it seems that while he is dreaming of this new triumph, the Palace, which distrusts a little the diplomatic genius of the Marshal, thinks of sending the Duke de Nemours himself to conquer a wife, and it is seriously proposed to send the young Prince shortly on a tour to Germany." Reports favourable to Cabrera are already in circu lation on the frontier. According to letters from Lo grono of the 10th, it is said that a division of his troops has had an action with a strong column of Espartero's army, and taken the convoy, which it escorted, and made 600 prisoners. At Irun another action was spoken of, in which the Christino regiment of Almanza, and a squadron of cavalry, were reported to have been de feated, and completely dispersed. This statement, how ever, rests on no certain foundation ; and all that is positively known is, that Cabrera, on learning the march of Espartero, manifested great confidence, and that he immediately proceeded to Segura, where he has assem bled the greater part of his forces.—La Gazette de France. The submission of the Count d'Espagne, which we announced, and which the Ministers themselves believed to have taken place, is far from being effected. It seems that the negociatiens, which were procrastinated, have been broken off. We have a letter from Barcelona of 11th October, which says, " Yesterday, the 10th, the Count d'Es pagne took and burnt Mt za and its fortifications. Part of the garrison of Barcelona made a sortie to succour Barcelona, which was likewise attacked.—Le r.'ommerce. BRUSSELS, OCT. 19.—We are soon to, be visited by a gentleman holding a high rank in the French Post-office, with a commission to concert with our Government a measure to be taken for the de spatch of two mails daily, one leaving Paris in the morning with letters for the South, the West, the centre of France, from Spain, Italy, &c., the other to leave Paris in the evening, with the letters from Paris, and those which have arrived in the course of the day by the other lines, on which also there will be two mails. To this new organization will be added other improvements and combinations which will acce lerate the transmission of letters in.all directions. It seems to be the intention of the French offices as in the case of Estafette, to begin the experiment with the North. Prussia, Holland, and all Germany inte rested in that innovation, will be consulted. HAMBURG, OCT. 18.—Letters from Berlin say that the Grand Duke Alexander had been taken ill at Witepsk on his way from Borodino to Poland, and had given up his intended visit to Warsaw. He would return direct from Witepsk to Petersburgh. BOURSE.---PAMS, SATURDAY, OCT. 19. First Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price Price.

They then passed the following resolution :—" Resolved—That Sir Robert Sinirke, Joseph Gwilt, and Philip Hardwick, Esqrs., having stated in their Report upon the respective merits of the plans selected by them, that they cannot recommend any one to be carried into execution, this Committee doth request them to take the first, second, and third plans, as selected by them, into consideration, and pro pose a plan and specification for a new Royal Exchange, such as in their judgment should be carried into execu tion, having reference at the same time to the printed instructions issued by this Committee to the architects" We understand that the whole of the designs, 38 in number, will be open to inspection by the members of the Corporation, the Mercers' Company, Lloyd's, and other public bodies this day and Tuesday, and to the rest oflthe public by tickets on the seven following days. REV. JOHN WESLEY.—A medal has been struck to commemorate the Centenary of Wesleyan Methodism. The design is by P. Champ, and the dies have been executed by W. J. Taylor. The medal is somewhat large has the crown piece, and is beauti fully executed. It has on one side a faithful likeness of the celebrated founder of the sect, with the dates of his birth and d eath, and on the other appropr i ate texts of Scripture. The venerable apostle died in his 88th year. CORONER'S INQUEST (THIS DAY).--This morning, at eleven o'clock, an inquest was held at the Hero of Waterloo Tavern, Waterloo-road, before Mr. Carter, the Coroner, upon the body of William Wil liams, who shot himself; on Friday last, in the Crown public-house, Stangate-street. All the particulars of the suicide have already appeared. Witnesses, who knew the deceased, identified him as the hair-dresser to St. Thomas's Hospital. He was about 25 years of age. His affairs were lately embarrassed, to which, and his habits of drinking, the disturbed state of his mind was attributed. He has left a wife and four children. One witness stated that the deceased used often to argue in favour of suicide. One of his brothers committed sui cide, and anothe r is a lunatic. Verdict—Temporary Insanity.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SATURDAY.—The demand for Cotton to-day has been to a moderate ex tent—sales 3,000 bags, at yesterday's quotations. W e have received S.,uth Australian papers to the 1 Ith of June, which state that in cm,sequenc, of the d diy increasing ferocity of the blacks, a public meeting was held in Adelaide, on the Bth ult., for the purpose of taking into consideration the present relations of the Colonists with the Aborigines, with. a view to adopt measures calculated to afford that p.otection to all classes of the community to which they are entitled, alai to determine on such means as shall restore the friendly intercourse between the nativts and colonists. By a resolution adopted at the meeting tt wa: imputed to the Protector of the Aborigines that the theffieieney exhibited by hint in his office, and the almost total neg• leet of the official instructions under which the head of that department was appointed, had manly led to the latt!outrages. We le:irn from iett,rs have been from Hunter's River, till, i- work of murder stni piogri•sses in mat part of the couutry. is reported that one of the coustebles i asp breit shot. The Australian papers of the 13th June contain his Excellency the Governor's speech on the opening of the Col Parliament, which is of a very great length. It begins by congratulating the Legislative Council on the improved prospect of the termination of the calamitous drought under which the colony waslibour mg ; the abundant rains which had fallen in mo t parts had r , vived the hopes nt the colonists. He informs them that he has received despatches from the Secre tary of State, announcing the intention of her Ma jesty's Government to appoint an officer who will be vested with powers, and will assume the character of British Consul at New Zealand. He proposes to re vive the Committee which sat during the last year for effecting an alteration in the insolvent laws of the co lony, and for the abolition of imprisonment ; and another on the police establishment, which are found to be inefficient. Recommends a Board of Education on the plan of the British and Foreign School Society. That the rates of the Government contracts were high. He further adds, that the revenue of the co lony continued to improve. That he saw no reason to doubt that the colonial finances would become embar rassed, or that the whole proceeds of the sale of Crown lands might be devoted to emigration. VAN DIEMEN'S LAND CORN MARKET -" The mil lers' quotations for wheat this week are those of the last—from 10s. to 14s. , but we hear of as high as 15s. being offered and refused, and 381. per ton for first quality flour. The population of Sydney and Pane matta is about 60,000, which, at the very low estimate of 111 h. of wheat per head, gives a consumption cf 7,000 bushels per week ; add to this the demand of places dependent upon Sydney a similar quantity, there fore the weekly consumption is at least 14,000 bushels.'

By the private accounts received by the Lisbon mail this morning it appears that the Ministers are to have a meeting with several Members of the late Cortes on Tuesday afternoon, to hear their opinions on the de mand made by tho Bitish Government for the payment of about 300,000/., due by the Portuguese nation for extraordinary expenses incurred by General Cl.nton', corps, as well as on the plan of Barren, said to be sub mitted by Baron de Lagos, of London, regarding the Portuguese foreign debt, that the whole be converted into a domestic or internal debt by giving Sa4 for a 6 per cent. Stock in exchange for every 100 of the 5 per cent. Bonds, and 50 of said 6 per cent. for every 100 of the 3 per cent., to be paid at present, until the Portuguese Treasury shall be more abuldantly provided with money. It is intended to convert the other half dividend into a deferred stock, the revenue arising from the tobacco contract, about 290,0001. per annum, to be exclusively applied to thi purpose from the Ist of January next. We may call this scheme building castles in the air. Tue old story is again revived—no money in the Treasury. THE FUNDS.

THE LATE OUTRAGE AT WINDSOR CASTLE. —Thomas Ainger, the young man who confessed that he broke the windows at Windsor Castle, was brought up on Friday, at Guildhall, and an inspector of police atttndcd to accompany the prisoner to Bethlem Hos pital, producing a letter from Lord Normanby to the Committee, recommending him as a patient. The young man's father said he had been insane about 18 months. He was decidedly insane. Mr. Alderman Humphery, remarking that Lord Normanby's letter was notan order for confinement, but a recommendation, said he hoped the poor fellow i vould soon recover under the treatment in that hospital, and be liberated. The pri soner was removed by the inspector. At the Cheltenham police office on Tuesday, Edwin Smith, a young man, was fully committed to Gloucester gaol for trial at the next assize 4, on two charges of highway roFibery on female servants. The prisoner in each case wat42hed the cooks of gentlemen on their way to pay the w eekly bills of the family, and looking through the windows of the shops they entered, saw where they deposited their money, and following them to the less frec A uented places, stopped and forcibly robbed them of all they had about them.—Cheltenham Chronicle. SIR CHARLES GREY.—On Wednesday last, the friends of Sir Ch arles Grey gave a public dinner to him at the Nort,humberland Arms, New Quay, North Shields, " in consequence of its being the . Hon. Members first visit 0 the borough since h is election Having signified his, deilire to meet his constituents in public assembly, in .on:" ord e r to give any explcnron of his Parliamentary cor,duct, cfr his political opi nions, which might be required of him, a meeting of the electors was held, ship of East:Stonehouse. Gentlemen,—l take this early opportunity of informing you, that I have been off,red the Portsmouth Command, and that, notwithstanding it involves my retirement from Parliament, %;hen the proper time comes to move for the writ, I have thought it due to myself and my family to aceeptit. _ When I first offered myself as a Candidate for repre senting the borough of Devonport and East .Etonehouse in Parliament, I explained fully my political sentiments; and that I presented myself to you rather until to any other constituency, because your interests were blended with those of the Navy, and that I could therefore most satisfactorily identify myself with both. After observing that I had the more pleasure in address ing you, because you were an unbribed, and I also trusted unbribable constituency, I further stated, with perfect sin cerity, my readiness to give place to any one more compe tent to promote your interests, as I have, since done on every occasion of my presenting myself before you. Under these circumstanc e s, an d no t w i t h stan di ng a strong opposi tion, and a canvass by the two other candidates previous to my appearance among von, I was elected one of the first representatives of yourßorough in Parliament, and on each subsequent election I have been gratified by receiving a considerably increased support amongst the constituents, including in that number many who were at first my strongest opponents. I revert to these occurrences to justify my confidence, that I do not err in attributing that increased support and the favourable reception I have met with from you, on every occasion of my visiting you to my having conscien tiously and zealously acted up to the principles I have al ways openly professed, and the line of conduct I then pub licly marked out for myself. You will readily believe then, that I feel great regret at separating myself from a constituency with whom I have been united by so many proofs of that regard and esteem which binds the consti tuency and the representative in mutual and beneficial con fidence. It is, however, a satisfaction to me to reflect that the very support I have thus met with, will act as an encouragement to others to come forward, more competent than myself, to promote the general welfare of the country, and the particular interests of your Borough. Adverting once more to my strong sense of the kindness I have always received from you, and begging to assure you of my earnest wishes for your future welfare and prosperity, I thus take my leave, and reluctantly break off the connection that has so long subsisted, and been so cordially established between us. In this decision I am alone guided by an earnest desire to resume the occupations of a profession to which the best exertions of a long life have been zealously devoted, and, in so doing, I confidently trust I may be found still capable of performing the duties of that profession with the appro bation of my Sovereign and my Country, and with the in ward satisfaction of not having laboured in vain. I have the honour to remain, Gentlemen, Your very faithful and obedient Servant, EDWD. CODRINGTON. London, October, 18, 1839. By the arrival of the Tagus steamer at Falmouth on Saturday we have received Lisbon papers of the 14th inst. They bring no political news of interest. The threatened execution of criminals in Lisbon had not taken place, to the great disappoint ment of the lovers of the horrible and the disgust ing in that capital. We regret to add that murders and robberies were frightfully frequent, under cir cumstances of aggravated atrocity. On the road between Coimbra and Mortagoa a poor family, consisting of a father, mother, and one son, were attacked by two villains, armed with muskets, and, but for the escape of the son, Ivho procured (assistance, they would all have been murdered. The poor woman was killed outright, anti the man was so dreadfully beaten that his life was despaired of, Though the guerillas were comparatively quiet, the smugglers were driving a most profitable trade along the coast. A cargo of tobacco and other merchandize, escorted by nearly two hundred of them, was landed some time since at Torre Velha, and the smugglers not knowing their way suffi ciently well compelled her Most Faithful Majesty's custom-house officers to escort them safely to the Spanish frontier, when they allowed them to return and make a report of their services to the Portu guese Government. The Queen of PORTUGAL has not been unmind ful of the valorous achievements of the Spanish Duke of VICTORY. His Excellency, in common with mime! ous ex-cobblers of Lisbon, and jobbers in every part of the world, has been presented with the renowned Order of the Tower and Sword. It must be a source of no little pride to the illus trious warrior to find his military talents so highly prized by such consummate judges of military merit as Queen DONNA MARIA, her Royal Consort, and her distinguished Cabinet. We wonder whether the little Duke of OPORTO was consulted on so momentous an occasicn ? General MACDONALD was still a prisoner at Oporto, but as no proof of his treasonable designs were discovered, his liberation was daily expected. Redeemed paper-money to the amount of about 5,000/. sterling was burnt by order of the Govern ment, on the 11th inst., in the street before th e Treasury. Nevertheless, money was very scarc e , and Ministers were completely at a loss how to provide for the wants of the public service. The fate of the Ministry was expected to turn on the success of Baron DE LAGOS' mission to London. The rate of exchange upon London at the sailing of the Tagus was 56 d. per milrei at thirty days' sight. Madrid Journals of the 12th inst., have been duly received. The Gazette of the 11th, contains a Royal decree of amnesty for all but the most heinous crimes, in honour of her MAJESTY'S birthday. Nothing of importance was doing in the Chambers ; and notwithstanding the late fra ternization, it was expected that a change of Minis• try was becoming unavoidable. An attack by a lunatic on the King of the FRENCH'S carriage as the Royal Family were set ting out on Friday evening from the Tuileries to St. Cloud, appears, from the French Journals, to have created a painful sensation in Paris. As we have given the whole particulars in another column, we will not recapitulate them here, especially as the insane person was a poor woman, evidently unin fluenced by any political feelings or sympathies. Her weapon of offence, too, proved that her attack on the Royal carriage was not pre meditated, being merely a stone, or more likely a pebble, picked up at the instant. The broken glass slightly wounded, or rather scratched the QUEEN in the neck, for so trifling was the injury, that it did not delay the Royal Family for more than an instant, and her MAJESTY was sufficiently at ease in the evening to receive company as usual. We heartily rejoice at this, as we believe there is not a more truly good and amiable woman in France, in the several relations of wife, mother, and friend, than the consort of King Louts PHILIPPE. Against her no voice has ever been raised, even among dia. most rancorous enemies of her Royal husband.

These Sessions, the 12th, commenced to-day before the Lord Mayor, the Lord Mayor elect, the Recorder, Alderman Gibbs, Messrs. Evans and Wheelton the S!le r the U1),1..r Sheriffs &... To , S , t , f ,,,,. r (toys. the pi es, ii; tmar contain og no less te.in 245 prisoners for trial, six of them being for murder. The Grand Jury having been sworn, Th , 3 RECORDER proceeded to deliver his charge to them. The calendar contained the names of no less than 245 prisoners for trial, and be was touch afraid that that number winild be incru as. d to 300 bet-re the Grind Jury were discharged from s heir duties. It also contained the usual class of offences which wer, he *ulject of ind , etment and prosecution in that Court, but he aas sorry to pe.emve from its perus sl that the offence of cutting, rnanninz, and wow,tlioti, with intent to murder, to avoid lawful m.p , eh,..ns•on or detention, or do some !.revous bodily . I, a , Lit , was consid-rably n the our and it kouht he his d* to call the att:inion of Grand Jury to the r r, of t haternents of ure et teat, rt SpVei Te. were two charges for murder Ott the high sees, eee of which would require the most serious attention of h. Grand Jury ; but, with respect to the other, At, r tidbits the deposition, he thooelit they wooed not thick heieselves justified in bringing in a true bill for mu rdt r. Tne first case was the murder of the captain ef a ship, by the steward, by st-thhing, from the t ffects of which he expired in the course of an [tour, and the other w.es a charee against the mate who had succeeded the captain m the command of the ship. With respect to the Lt ter case, from the deposition it appeared that the ship was in distress, and all hands were ordered by the mate on deck ; the person whom it was alleged had been mur dered, was ill on board the ship, but this being unknown to the mate, he expressed his surprise at his absence when he issued his orders, and he, in addition to the chastisement usual for neglect of duty, inflicted several blows on the deceased with a piece of timber. net certainly was not a mode of chastisement which the law allowed, but he thought the Grand Jury would, upon hearing the evidence, see that there was nothing to show that the death of the unfortunate man had been caused by the blows that had been inflicted, and such being the case, it would become the duty of the Grand Jury to enquire whether any particular course of treat ment, during the illness of the unfortunate deceased, had occasioned or accelerated death ; because any im proper treatment accelerating death would subject the party to a charge of manslaughter, but not of murder. The other case, the murder of the ceptain, was so clear that it was unnecessary for him to make any remarks, as he felt no doubt the Grand Jury would consider it to be their duty to submit it to the Petty Jury. There were also in the calendar two charges of rape, to which it was necessary for him to advert. In one of them the complainant was the bar-maid of a public-house, who charged her master with the offence. From the evidence in that case, it appeared that the first advances on the part of the per son charged were rather in the nature of seduction than otherwise. It appeared that the complainant, upon the attempt being made, remonstrated with her master, aria immediately afterwards called the attention of her brother to what had taken place. According to the statement of the comalainant, on the day when the offence was perpetrated, she became sick and was carried to bed, and while she was insensible the offence was committed. In that case the question probably for the Grand Jury would be whether the sickness of the complainant was caused by illness or arose from intoxication. There was this, however, in favour of the charge made by the complainant, that she instantly stated what had taken place. The other charge was against a person for a rape upon a female fourteen years of age, and with respect to that he thought the Grand Jury would be of opinion, after they had heard the evidence of the surgeon that the offence had not been fully completed. There were also in the calendar nine cases of stabbing and wounding, and one of an attempt to stab. With respect to these offences, an Act had been recently passed, the Ist Victoria, chap. 85, which varied the punishments according to the enor atity of the offence. The second section provided that in all cases of cutting or wounding with intent to mur der, or do some grievous bodily harm, the part) shoule sufflr death. The third section provided that any per sons who were charged with discharging loaded fire a ms, or attempting to drown or suffocate persons, should be transported for life, for fifteen years, or impre coned for three years, according to the discretion of the Court. And the fourth section provided that person sounding, or attempting to wound, in order to pre vent lawful detention, should suffer transportation for life, fourteen years, or imprisonment for not less that, three years. Crimes of these descriptions were so much upon the increase, that he (the Recorder) thought the Grand Jury would do well, upon no .fight ground, to reject such charges which it was important should be fully investigated, for it bad become a subject of national importance, by a due ex ,rcise of justice, to put an end to cases of this descrip s lion, which had been frightfully on the increase durie g the last few years. With these remarks the Learner' Judge remitted the Grand Jury to the discharge o' their important duties The Grand Jury then retired, and the Court the droceeded to swear in the Petty Jury. No case of any interest came before the Court durin; , he morning. The Judges who will attend the Court this SesEicv are Mr. Justice Bosanquet, Mr. Baron Gurney, any Mr. Baron Manic. SURREY SESSIONS-(THIS DAY These sessions commenced this morning at the Court house, Newington, before R. Hedger, Esq. and a full bench of Magistrates. There are fifty cases of felony in the calender, but al, of them of a very trumpery nature. The Grand Jury were sworn, but the Chairman said that the cases in the calender required no notice from him. Tile Jurors' former experience would guide then on the occasion ; he was happy to say they were no likely to be long detained from their various occupation , William and George Arnold, two young men, pleade, guilty to an assault upon Bridges and Brewer, policemen ,t the P division. The CHAIRMAN said assaulting policemen in the dis charge of their duty, was a serious offence, and the Cour (oust be put in possession of the facts of the case. . . Bridges, P 47, was then called, and deposed that Iv was passing down East-lane, Walworth, when he heart a noise, and some children called to him that two met were beating their mother. He went and saw the twt prisoners using very abusive language to Mrs. Griffin ant some otherfemales ; he endeavoured to induce them to go away, but instead of that they took off their coats and as saulted him ; they threw him down, and beat him se verely ; he got his staff out and beat them off. Brewer came to his assistance, and they succeeded in taking them into custody. On the way to the station-housf Arnold threw Brewer down, and he received such in juries as kept him from his duty for three weeks. The Court said the assault was a very gross one ; the police must be protected in the discharge of their duty. The sentence of the Court was that each of the pri• sorters pay a fine of 5/. to her Majesty, and be impri soned till that fine was paid. Benjamin Gain was indicted for assaulting Jame, Tucker. Neither the prosecutor nor his witness...au neared, therefore he was acquitted. Before leaving th. har, however, he was called upon to pay 11s. for fees to the Usher, and 88. Bd. to the Clerk of th. Peace for his fees upon a copy of the record of acquit. &c. Here was a fine of 19s. Bd. upon, probably. the aggrieved party. James Placell was indicted for stealing on the 11 th Oct.. in the parish of St. Mary's, Lambeth, a brass rap, the property of Thomas Anderson. Mr. Austin, a plumber,had put on a similar tap to the me produced, for Mr. Anderson, only a few days be fore the 11th, but h . could not swear to it as the same, because he had many of the sane pattern. Wm. Smith saw the prisoner near Mr. Anderson's house about half-past five o'clock on the morning in question—another person was inside the palings who handed something to the prisoner. He called to two policemen, who pursued them. Sullivan, L. 136, pursued the prisoner, and saw him throw away something. He overtook him, and on going back to the place he found the tap produced. Thomas Anderson had lost a cock, but he could not swear to the one produced as his, for there might be 1,000 cocks of the same kind in the parish of Lambeth. At all events he would not swear to it. The Jury immediately found a verdict of Not guilty.

THROWING MUD INTO THE RIVER.— Wm. Beak, Joseph Campbell, WM. West, and Joseph West, were charged with having on the 30th of September, a t th e parish of All Saints , Pop lar, thrown into the River Thames a quantity of soil, whereby they had incurred the penalty of 201. Mr. Brand, of the City Solicitor's office, attended in support of the info-mation ; and Mr. Jones, solicitor for the defendants. John Maxwell deposed that between ten and eleven o'clock on the night of the 30th September he saw the defendants in a barge, near th e I s l e o f D ogs, throwing , mud into the river with shovels. They were about two barges length from the Middlesex side of the River. Mr. Jones said he could not call any witness to con tradict the evidence given, but he trusted that the case would be leniently dealt with, this being a first offence. The LORD MAYOR said it was a great hardship on the Conservators of the river that they should have the trouble and expense of removing mud from the river, which was deposited in this manner. Mr. Jones said that these men followed the example of the tunnel people, who threw their earth overboard. The LORD MAYOR—They have been allowed to do so for the benefit of a large public undertaking. If you c an s h ow t h at y o ur men were employed different. in a service for the public good, the case will be LLOYD'S skiIPPING.—(THIS DA DEAL, OCT. 19.—Wind W, N, W.
