The Committee of the city of London Reform Club have published a report of their proceeding--; during the last year. This important document will be found in another part of our paper, and cannot fail to afford the highest gratification to the heart of every genuine Re former in the kingdom. The Committee justly observe that the great objects of the Club were to increase, protect, and purify the Parliamentary Constituency ;" and the report bears ample testimony that these objects have been steadily and successfully kept in view by the Con-imittee, to whom was entrusted the responsible and laborious office of making, and carrying into eff ec t, th e various arrangements, extensive and complicated, which such an Institution required. How skilfully these ar rangements have been contrived may easily he imagined from one ample fact stated in the Report, namely, that the organization of so vast a constituency as that of the City of London, is at this time in so perfect a state that, " the business of an election may be entered upon at a moment's notice." Had the Committee accom plished nothing beyond this, their labours would have entitled them to the thanks of the community. But when we find that by their active and well-directed zeal in the great and good cause, they have been the means of adding more than 1,000 votes to the majo rity of 1,356, which the lowest Reformer obtained at the last election aver the highest Tory—that this ac -cession of strength has been gained in the teeth of a powerful Tory opposition, not very scrupulous in the means it employs to attain its ends—and that the sug gestionalvhich their experience has enabled them to - make to the first Law Officer of the Crown, will have the effect of materially improving the Bill for amend in-g the Parliamentary Registration—it will not be an' (easy matter eithctt to appreciate the labour, or to over-rate the services, of the Committee. We hope and trust that the beneficial consequences which have been thus proved to result from the City of London Reform Club, will stimulate the members of similar institutions to si inilar exertions, and that the example set by the Chairman, Mr. TRAVERS, who has so liberally de voted his time, his wealth, and his superior talents to the advancement of a cause in which the welfare of the country is deeply involved, may be followed by our leading mercantile men throughout the kingdom. NVe cannot conclude these few hasty observations with out reminding the public that, while the Committee are thus labouring in the cause of Reform, they must be supported by adequate funds. The sinews of war must be supplied, if it is expected that the war should, be successfully carried on. We are glad to find that the Sheriffs of Middlesex have convened a Meeting of the Freeholders of the county of Middlesex for Wednesday next, the Bth instant, on the subject of the Municipal Reform Bill for Ireland. Mr. O'CONN - ELL has promised to attend the Meeting, to advocat.c the cause of his oppressed and insulted , countryman . W e can conp;ratulate cur readers on the prosperous state of the O ' CONNELL Subscription. The Re formers are alive in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, and others of the principal towns, and public Meetings arc to be hr;ld immediately. Oar Contemporary the Chronicle, of this morning, has. 'some very excellent observations on the subject of twe reforms which have lately been effected in the . v r'ost-office deputment. It is the interest of the country to accept with thankfulness every improvement suggested, and privilege conceded, by persons in nthority ; nor is it always either expedient or prudent look beyond the Minister making a concession for the author and originator of it. But when it se' happens that the real originator of wise and economical measures is not only not rewarded by those who assume the merit of his suggestions — but is actually thrust aside lest the extent of his ser vices should dim the lustre of ministerial radiance — We consider it the duty of every honest man to co operate in doing justice to the real public benefactor, by deprecating the means thus taken to deprive him of even the empty praise due to his efforts to promote the national welfare.. We, therefore, adopt the senti ments of our Contemporary with respect to the ungrateful treatment which Sir EDWARD S. LEES, late Secretary of the Irish Post-Office, received at the hands of the Government, during the I Post-Master-Generalship of hi , 3 Gtat6 Dlnke of RICHMOND. Were WC called ittpo'.l te) tArne the in dividual who, fora period , oftvi.-tAity years and upwards, had most efficicatfy lal)nured to remove the radical abuses of our Post-office Establishment—who endea voured under all circumstances practically to illustrate the benefit which would arise from the adoption of his simestions—whose zeal was proof against the chillin , influence of neglect, indifference, Milt even official discouragement—we should not hesitate an instant to give the name of Sir E. S. LL:s. We could not point to a reform suggested by the Commis sioners of Inquiry—we could hardly mentiou a mea sure which the Hon. Member for Greenock has pressed upon the attention of the Legislature as ne cessary to the efficient management of the Post-office Department—which was not recommended by Sir EDWARD S. LEES in his examination hdore the Revenue Commissioners of Inquiry in 1829. Let those who would make themselves acquaint= ed with this important circumstance tura to the Nineteenth Report, dated as above ; and if, after reading Sir E. S. LEES'S evidence, they hesitate to pronounce him entitled to the gratitude of the Reformers of Great Britain and Ireland, we will henceforth acknowledge that we do not know in what Post-office Reform consists. And what has been:his reward ? We will explain :—His name has not been mentioned in connection with a single measure of Reform adopted by the Government —even where he had been the first—the very first— to suggest such a measure. This in itself was most illiberal. But the worst part remains behind. When the Government felt itself obliged to take some steps towards reforming the Post-Office, its first act was to remove Sir EDWARD S. LEES from the Secretaryship of the Irish Post-Office in Dublin, where he held a patent office of 1,4501. a year, to the same situation in Edinburgh, where he is only allowed a salary of 8001. a year—without being allowed a sixpence for the loss of his patent ! The Duke of RICHMOND, in his evidence before the Committee of the House of Commons, in 1831, said— " I have removed the Gentleman who was Secretary in Dublin to Scotland, and I have done so because I thought he was not the responsible officer in the department. Sir Edward Lees has stated that he has, from time to time, made very strong representations to the Postmasters-General, but for some reason there was no remedy afforded." Now we would merely observe that there was no thing to prevent the Duke of RICHMOND, and the Government of which he was a member, from making Sir E. S. LEES the responsible officer in the Irish Post-office department. But admitting that there was, why was a gentleman wlio had served the coun try most efficiently for a period of thirty years, thus deprived of half his salary, and driven, as it were, into an Lonourable exile from the coun try in wl:,ose Post-office institutions he had made o many improvements ? Ministers require not to be informed that such a removal, with a diminished salary, implied the strongest censure, on the part of the Crown, of the conduct of the Secretary. And yet Sir EDWARD S. LEES uttered no complaint. On the con trary, he began his reforming labours anew in Edin burgh, and the consequence is a marked improvement in the management of the Post-Office Establishment there, coupled with an actual increase of seven thousand pounds a-year ! But his reward is at hand. The Ministry and the Country, to whom we appeal in his behalf, will at last do him ample justice. Madrid papers to the 29th ult. have been received. The Cortes have been convoked according to the pro visions of the new Electoral Law. The following is the Royal decree to that effect : " For the purpose that the assembly of the Cortes may take place with the least possible delay, we order that, in ad dition to their usual labours, they may concur with the Throne in the great work of the revision of the fundamental laws of the Monarchy promised by the Royal Decree of t the 23d of September last ; and in order that they who are to be De puties to the said Cortes may be elected in a popular manner, and so as to represent the necessities, the well-understood interests, and the real opinions of the Spauish station ; and considering that my Government presented in the late Cham bet of Deputies a project of electoral law, the articles of which were approved of after mature deliberation, although in consequence of notorious circumstances it could not pass through the other formalities necessary to constitute a law, I have resolved to command, in the name of my much-beloved daughter, Donna Isabella 11., after hearing the opinions of the Council of Ministers, that the elections shall take place in the manner therein ordained." The whole of the Paris Journals of Saturday have been received. They contain the substance of an important paragraph which we have extracted from the Hampshire Telegraph, relative to the sudden de parture of CORDOVA for Madrid, Nothing is now talked of but his treason, which it 4.=. feared will endanger the British and French troops now left in a situation of extreme petit. PARIS, JAN. 3.—The French Funds have continued to fall today, and the Spanish did the same : little busin e ss Wai done. The hope's of an intervention, which the speculators in Spanish might have entertained, in consequence of the coup de 'nail: of Gen. Nogues on the Carlist battery of the Bi dassoa, bare been rather disconcerted by the manner in which M. Thiers spoke of the ruinous consequences of a measure of which he was lately the most eager partisan. We now know what we are to think of the great victories of Cordova, whose bulletins, so ': , trnttgety ilitad by facts, seem to have been the principal element of the plan of deception framed tofavour the formation ef* flew Ministry. From all the facts yet known it seems that Cordova really made himself master of the positions which he attacked, but was driven back by a vigorous effort of the Carlists, several of whose Generals were v;ounded that he was pursued by them on the 26th and 27th to 'Vittoria, This reverse is attributed by a Correspondent to the want of the support of the English Le gion, which wac., talcitg Passages for his Britannic Majesty, while a divio;ron against Ernani, in combination with Cor dova's attt.e would have enabled the latter to reap the fruits of his victory.

Their contents are uninteresting, inasmuch as they are a record of opinions —not of facts. What the opinions of this Journal are is no secret to such of our readers as take an interest in West India affairs. Hardly a Number has appeared for the last two years in which was not inserted a long, dull, vituperative tirade against the Slave emancipationists, Mr. FOWELL BlcTorr, and the Marquis of SLIGO. In the papers now received the sapient Editor plays the part of a Seer, prophe tvitli the destruction of our Nest Illui3 Colonial trade.

After the year 1840, how are we of Jamaica to be able to continue our cultivation? Nothing looks so like irony as over-earnestness in support of a proposition radically false. Had we stated that the above extract was written by some clever wag of the Free Trade School, and intended for in sartion in a forthcoming Number of the Westminster Review, four-fifths of our readers would have pro nounced it a capital hit at our monopoly-loving co lonists. For what, after all, does it amount to, but a declaration that without a sacrifice of fifty per cent. on the part of Great Britain, our West India planters will be compelled to walk on their legs instead of keeping up splendid carriage establishments, and vying in. their expenditure with our hereditary Nobility ? And then the fling at the Government, for dreaming of abolishing such a monopoly I Why, such a saving as fifty per cent. on sugar would totally ruin the commerce of Great Britain ! What true Englishman, for example, would purchase East India sugar for three-pence a pound, when he could get genuine West India sugar of a worse quality, manufactured by apprenticed negroes—made free in spite of their task-masters—for eightpence ? And who is there that does not perceive that in such a case the purchase of the cheaper and better article, in preference to the dearer and worse one, would entail ruin upon his country, his friends, his family, and himself? We thank the editor of the Despatch for putting the question so fairly and intelligibly before the public. We think with him that " every manufacturer and me chanic in• Great Britain" must be a strange fellow in deed, who does not consider a Government worthy of execration which reduces the prices of sugar and coffee —two of the necessaries of life—fifty per cent. No thing in fact can be clearer than that it is the interest of the working man to receive low wages, and pay the highest price for every article of necessary consumption. But, strange to say, the prejudices of the working classes are all on the other side of the question. They have somehow or other got an idea into their heads that to sell where we can sell dearest, and buy where we can buy cheapest, is as much the interest of nations as of individuals. The Legislature, too, begins to sympathise with them in this conviction ; so that we have our doubts as to whether the cause of the planters can be more injured than it is by the arguments put forth by its supporters of the Jamaica press. We have received letters from Lisbon to the 30th ult. On the 29th her Most Faithful Majesty, the QUEEN, opened the Extraordinary Session of the Cortes in person. Her MAJESTY was accompanied by her Royal Consort, the Duchess of BRAGANZA, and the principal Officers of State. All the Foreign Ministers were in attendance. The following is her MAJESTY'S Speech from the Throne : " Worthy Peers of the kingdom—Senhors Deputies of the Portuguese nation—lt is always with the most lively satisfac tion that I see you assembled round my throne, in the exercise of your high functions, co-operating with my efforts to conso lidate arid develope the constitutional charter of the Monarchy. " The brief space of the ordinary session not having af forded sufficient time for the accomplishment of the necessary legislative business, the examination and arrangement of the public accounts, of the revenues and expenditure of the, king dom, and of other branches of the public service, I have, in the exercise of one of my prerogatives, convoked this extraordinary session, in order that you may give your attention to those measures which the well-being of the nation imperatively requires. " The object of the measures which will be submitted to you by my Ministers will be to effect a diminution in the pub lic expenditure, an increase in the public revenues, and to main, tain the national credit. Other matters of not less importance and equally deserving your most serious attention will be also submitted to you. " From your experienced wisdom and patriotism I hope that these matters will be disposed of by you in a manner calculated to realise the advantages of the constitutional charter, being a source of prosperity to my subjects." THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY. JUIN 6, 18367. TREACHERY OF CORDOVA. PORTSMOUTH, SATURDATEVENING, 8 O'CLOCK. — The Osprey cutter, Payne master, is just arrived with despatches from Santander, which place she left on Tuesday last. We learn by her, that Cordova, after resisting the attacks of the Carlists at Arlaban, on the 24th, and destroying the Carlist intrenchments at Villa Real, on the following day suddenly retrograded to Vittoria with all his forces ; and on his arrival there, quitted for Madrid, leaving positve orders with his next in command, hunklde, not to permit his army to advance or move in any manner until his re turn, or until he sent orders. Now this defection, at such a moment, most materially affects General Evans ; for on Saturday last, the 28th (and we have this from an officer who left General Evans on the evening of that day), the British Legion, with a small garrison in Passages, occupied a line of heights only a mile from Ernani, the Marines, under Major Owen, being in their rear ; and he intended to press forward, in the full belief that Cordova was ad vancing to meet him. We should hope General Evans would not suffer from the retrograde movement of the Spaniard, as the Royal Tar left Santander on Monday evening, the 30th, to apprise him of Cordova's retreat, if he should not have heard of it before. It was fully anticipated that Cordova and Evans would have re-united at Fonta rabia. Evans's corps was in excellent order, and abundantly supplied.—Hampshire Telegraph. KING'S THEATRE.—Rossini ' s grand opera in three acts, L'Assedio di Corinto, was performed on Saturday even ing for the first time this season. The only changes in the cast of the characters have been the placing Signor Winter in the part of Cleomene instead of Ivanhoff, and in the assump tion by Lablache of the part of Jero (the high-priest.) Grisi (as Palmira) was in her best voice ; and in the long and trying scene in the tent of Mehemet, in which she invokes the shade of her mother, and in the subsequent long duet with Mahomet (Tamburini), fully sustained her great reputation. The house was crowded, the pit and gallery close packed, and not a single box without its occupants. TILE DUKE OF GORDON.—The personal appear ance of the late Duke of Gordon was singularly noble. His stature was tall, his form well proportioned, and his counte nance handsome, animated, and expressive. In youth the gal lant bearing of this chivalrous nobleman excited universal ad miration, and in later years his stately figure, his grey hairs, and manly deportment, never failed to inspire respect; while in his address, easy, elegant, and affable, he was the life of every society in which he mingled. The regret which accom panies the extinction cf an honourable title, is, in the present instance, embittered by th 9 memory of the virtu es o f i ts l atest possessor : and very many years must elapse before the peo ple of the north of Scotland shall cease to speak of the ge nerosity and the goodness o f the last Duk e of Gordon._ Aberdeen Observer. We have not heard where the remains of the Duke of Gordon are to be interred. his father was buried in the family vault in Elgin Cathedral, but the late Duke some times expressed a desire that he should be interred at Kinrara, in the romantic Highland burying-ground selected by his noble mother, on the banks of the Spey, where the ashes of this once fascinating and accomplished woman rest in peace and solitude.—lnverness Courier.

At Cranbrook the hop-grounds present a singular aspect for the season ; the flea is very rife in many plantations ; very few look well, and in general arc very yellow and backward, so that little jadgment can be formed of the coming crop.

Our arrivals this morning are two French, two Ostend, and the Dutch mails ; also a Lisbon mail by the Swift, sailed 29th May ; the Spider, with a mail from Rio Janeiro, sailed 31st March ; the Camden, with a mail from Halifax, sailed 4th May ; The Alert, with a mail from Jamaica, sailed 20th April, with a great number of ship-letters from all parts of the globe. Although we have these numerous arrivals they do not furnish us with any very important news from any quarter. His Majesty's packets Alert and Skylark have arrived from the West Indies, both with mails; the former left St. Thomas's on the 2d March, and the latter on the Bth May ; but little news has reached by either. By accounts from Jamaica it was thought that the Marquis of Sligo would shortly retire from the Governorship of the Island. His Majesty's schooner Cockatrice had arrived from Rio Janeiro at the time of her leaving. Nothing particular was transpiring. The Exchange was 37i- ; Stocks, 87. We have Buenos Ayres Papers to the ifith March. The Government of Cordova, under date of the 19th ult. ' ad dressed a note to that of Buenos Ayres, stating they had on that day forwarded for Buenos Ayres, under the escort of 25 lancers, the prisoners charged with being concerned in the murder of General Quiroga, and his retinue. ORIENTAL STATE.—The annual message of the Govern ment to the Legislative body which we promised to notice this week, commences by stating that the Oriental State continues in the enjoyment of peace, and is every (lay unfolding elements of prosperity and riches ; it being the asylum of emigrants from the neighbouring states; that treaty of friendship, com merce, and navigation is pending with England, but has been suspended until the determination of the British Government be known upon some points proposed in said treaty. His Majesty the King of the French has proposed the basis of a preliminary treaty upon the same subject. A Minister hal proceeded to the Court of Madrid to negotiate the basis of a permanent peace. The Cabinet of Brazil has deferred until a more opportune period the definitive arrangement respecting limits. Jamaica papers to the 17th April have been received. The Cambridge negroes in St. James's are working to admiration, since they have been ordered to resume their duties as ap prenticed labourers. It has been stated that his Excellency, the Governor, intends, previous to his departure from the island, to issue a writ of supersedeas to remove Mr. Fax of St. Andrew from the magistracy, for endeavouring to prove that a brown man of the name of Edward O'Brien, who was never off the island, is the son of Edward O'Brien who was never in Jamaica.

Sta,--I beg to inform you that the cotiM):: the s House of Lords has put the Reformers of the town of 11:;i1'.)" , i7k upon the alert. A requisition to the Council for this Bo ft6ti• r coarse ^f signature, requesting the Council Hot s 6 Of CoNfttept , ., not to agree to the alterations niJA. , 3U the Irish - 11c'ernt Bill, and calling on the House OtCi.ivinirdit* to do justice to by r.znfiu td the people of that t'oktniry the same civil ph. vilegcs as naifieen bestowed on EneletA and Scotland. The requisitionists say, that they consider that difference in religious opinions ought not to il4ar any set of men from of civil rights ; and CPI requisitionists fur ther express iii it 0,1'67 disapprobation ut the conduct and spirit of the House of lioids in the alterations made in tl , y Irish Municipal Bill. This t'eition is to be tAen into 6311;',;?(Y - *Rtion at a Special Meeting dt . The Council to morrow ; when tiit' is no doubt a petition foal:l44d upon it will meet with an all bai I . o . lanircous support front that body., and the petition will be sent u by that day's post to Sir R. S. Dunkin for presentation. I rimy mid, that the requisition is signed by the greatest part of the respectable burgesses (I don't meats old freemen) of the Municipal borough. One of the signs of the times is the general disgust at the foolhardy conduct of the Lords, in their obstinate opposition to every measure calculated to ameliorate or improve the British Empire, and particularly Ireland. Many in this town, who were six months ago designated " Tories," or opponents . of Reform, have, within the last six weeks, turned round, and now declare that something mot he done to bring their Lordships to their reason, and to put it out of the power of that House to refuse granting those Reforms which the improved state of society, and justice to Ireland, are absolutely necessary. Thd Reformers of Bertviek are not easily roused—their Lordships,however, have succeeded in rousing us to action ; for on the 30th inst., a " Reform Association" was established, and we are going on increas ing our numbers every day since. This will have an excel lent effect on the future elections, Parliamentary and Mu nicipal—indeed, the poor silly BeriviA• and Kelso Warder of last Saturday is quite dissatisfied that the " Whig Radi cals," as it is pleased to term the Liberals, have now opened their eyes to the dangers which are now threatening this country, from the bigotry of the Upper House of Parlia ment.

There arc now upwards of 5,000 tons of shipping in the Llanelly Railway and Dock Company's Dock, all of which are to be loaded with Llangennech coals. There are three vessels, of 400 tons register and upwards, for Bombay. The arrangements for the constitution of the new Metropolitan University are said to be in such a state of for wardness, a f s, that they y t will, prob a bly, be mature for promulgation in about MACKEREL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—The season for mackerel, Viz., when they are in the greatest perfection, is from about the 9th or 10th of June until the end of the month, when they are fat and full roed. To boil them properly, they ought not to be boiled less time than an hour and a half to two hours, in plenty of water, with a little salt in it, when they will be found a very delicious dish. The catch of mackerel is within a few days a little im proved at this place—boats taking from three to six hun dred per night. They were first allowed to be cried through the City of London, on a Sunday, in 1698, and the practice prevails at the present time. In May, 1807, the first Brighton boat of mackerel sold at Billingsgate for 40 guineas per hundred (120)-7s. each ; the next boat's cargo produced but 13 guineas. In 1808, at Dover, they were sold sixty for a shilling. On June 16th, 1825, at Yarmouth, there were delivered and sold by Mr. John Shelly Clark, out of 55 boats, 1,4144 hundred, 132 to the hundred, or 186,481 mackerel, caught the previous night, and sold to different buyers—the amount of sale being nearly 1,0001. sterling ; the quantity caught by the highest boat was 64 hundred, and the lowest 21 hundred, of 132.

It was an action brought by a French master to recover a quarter's salary for having been dismissed without notice. The case had been tried at the sittings after last term, and a verdict had for the defendant, on the ground that the plaintiff had not returned to the school at the appointed time after the vacation. A rule had been subsequently moved for by Mr. Cresswell to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had. The Court was of opinion that the rule for the new trial should be made absolute. The COURT then took the new trial paper. SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, JUNE s.—Wind W.

On his master's going into ti 2 e room he found the youth lying on the floor, having Pollee down through fright, but not being hurt, as the pistol 1"." only charged with powder.
