their turn, and very considerable delay must frequently take place. In the month of June, 1835, the number of ships at market was from 0:35 to 307 daily ; whilst the numbers s•aid were ()ally from 30 to 51 daily. In the month of December, 1833, the number of ships at market was from 8 to 435 ; whilst the numbers sold were only from :11 to 111 in any one day. " Mr. BerAticy stated, in justification for making those regulations„ that, under the old Act, the trade we►e com pelled by . 'penalties to transact business in a peculiar way, but no - ar they have adopted such a system as appeared to men of - business best calculated to promote the interest of the trade and of the public at large: " The factors have an office at Gravesend, very much for the convenience of the masters of the colliers, and paid for (2s. 6d. per ship) by the owners of cargoes ; that certifi cates of the cargo are sent to that office as soon as the ship arrives within the limits of the Port of London, and the clerk there then sends one copy to the collector of customs in London, the other to the Coal Exchange, where it re mains with the clerk o r i the Exchange for public inspec +. Lon. The ship is entered, in a hook at Gravesend, ao?, a l so at the Coal Exchange, according to her arrival, and the coals are offered for sale by the factors in rotatic n. The first 40 ships on th© register only, whether of the best or second coal, are eZered for sale if the prices on the previous day were less than 21s. per ton ; if above 215., and 'less than 21s. 6d., 50 ships are offered, and so on, according to their resolutions ; 21s. being assumed as a remunerating price, for summer, and 225. 3d. sufficient for the winter voyages. The factor s are very strict in keeping to the•dr regulations ; and although a fleet of three hun dred sail should arrive, no more than forty ships viill be offered on any one day if the prices should 'be below 21s. the previous market-day. Tha factors in reality feed the market, so as to keep the prices as near as possible to those fixed by their regulations ; and, according to the price on the preceding market-day, the number of ships are offered for sale. The secretary communicates every alternate Thursday to the Coal Trade-office at New fastle the sentiments of the facto-es as to the general state of the trade. ••• if any owner 07 captain violates the regula tion, and brings, for example, the fiftieth ship to market, when forty only are allr,wed, his conduct will be reported by Mr. Scott, the Sccretary of the Coal Factors' Society, to the Coal-owners' Committee in the North, as was done to the Olive Branch and Lavinia, noticed in another part of this report ; and the captain must go the next voyage to orie of the collieries not in the regulation, or procure his cargo from a colliery in the vend by any kind of subterfuge he can practise. " There are three market-days—Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, continued as before, though not required by statute ; and the hours to sell and buy are from 12 to half-past 2 o'clock., as by the former Act of Parliament. Every factor he's a list, setting forth the sorts of coal he has for sale r'n the Coal-Exchange every market-day ; and when a cargo is sold an agreement is entered into with the buyer, tb'e price and conditions of payment being stated in detail ; and the buyer agrees to pay lid. per ton for half mete ge. All sales are private sales. The merchants may buy at all hours, but the factor will not enter his purchase ou that day if it should be made after half-past 2 o'clock ; after half-past 2 o'clock, say on Monday, any person may buy Tor the next market-day to deliver on Wednesday ; but, no factor will sell to deliver on Tuesday, as that would be against the regulations, and the factors will not take the consignment of coals unless the owner complies with the rules and regulations—that is, to have their cargoes sold in rotation. Factors are paid by a commis sion of one-half per cent. on the amount of sale, and 3d. per ton factorage ; and they take the risk of the merchants for payment. " It is proved that the coal-owners and ship-owners in the North were consulted by the factors in London when the regulations were adopted, and that they were agreed to by , the Coal-owners' Committee. Mr. Brandling states the object of these regulations to be, that if the price in Lon -don rises above what is considered to be the fair average price of coal in the London market, the factors offer a greater number of ships for sale ; if it falls below that, they offer a less number for sale.' The ships, therefore, witY,, coals must wait their turn, as the factors shall direct ; and any master or owner who refuses to act according ' to t h e regulations, and dares to sell his own coals, or take the hi p out of turn, is noted by the factors, and compla;lned against to the Committee of Coal-owners in the Noze di ; the secre tary of the Factors' Society writes to the, secretary of the coal-owners in Newcastle, and the 'Amster who has so offended is• prevented from obtaining a cargo of coals from any of the collieries in the regulrition of vend, unless ho will promise to act under the reguaptions established by the factors in London ; and it has be e n proved in evidence be fore your Committee 'that the coal-owners refuse, under these circumstances, to give cargoes to any master vvhe shall disregard the regulatior s . " The evidence of Mr, 'Dyer, a coal-merchant and ship owner in London, is co' nclusive, and shows that the col leries on the Tyne ant). Wear would not load his vessels with coal, although money had been tendered for the same, because he w ould not employ the factors in London, and allow his verJels to take their turn for sale in London according to th' e rules and regulations which the factors have establisb ed. The letters from the masters of the Olive Brand and Lavinia, will explain some of the diffi culties in olJtaining cargoes of coal when the factors' rules in London are not complied with, and vessels so circum stanced are very much delayed in procuring a cargo, and sometimes obliged to leave the trade altogether. Doubts have been expressed to your Committee whether the com bination of coal-owners in the North could be continued if there was no combination amongst the factors in London ; and the whole system of combination is, therefore, worthy the attention of Parli-went, in the hope that measures may be devised to prevent such inconvenience to the trade. " Mr. Taylor, coal-merchant, says, there is little varia tion in prices during the regulation ; but that during the open trade they were cheap, and the poor were supplied cheaper ; that the market would generally take off a larger quaeaity of the best coal, if sold a little cheaper ; that in the open trade a larger proportion of the best coal came to market ; he prefers the regular trade to the open trade, because the fluctuation is not so great, and thinks it has not interfered with the house-keeper' s supply. " Mr. Metnalc says, that their regulations have rather excluded best coals ; that on the 4th of January, 1836, there were no best coals at all in the market, although, there were plenty of Them in the river, and the public were obliged to take infcior coals, owing to 40 ships only being brought to market. instead of 70, although the price on the previous mark w a s 23 5 . 6d. per ton ; an d o f that circu mstp:_nee he compl a i ne d t o M r . W oo d, t h e coa l- owner. " Mr. Metcalf, however, thinks that if the r,eulations were done away, the public would not be bene - r,, tted ; they lceep th e p r i ce stea d y an d mo d erate. In Jur,e, 18 33, when no regulati on ex i s t e d, b est coa l s were as low as 14 s . 0(1. and 1.55., and many of the collieries must have been laid in if the open trade had continued. It has also been stated, that during the regulation great inr,onvenience has at times been felt from the want of coals of the first quality, and buyer s have been obliged to Fea . ve the market without being supplied ; there were, he market 30 years ago than. ow in ' , :a;.nks, fewer best coals in the " There are other cis proportion. contributed to the st• a d y .cranastances which affect and have lotions ; and Mr. supply of coals besides the Bentleyregu states, that since the intro duction of steam wete coaltrade has ' quite changed ; that before the ship, tit e tugged by steam-vessels out of the Wear and T wer e periods of five or six weeks when Lon dAon was Wiethout periods of coals, and it was then neeessary to keep suffici'n't quantity or supply in watch ruses and in craft ;Olt nosy i the trade purchases only for present wants, kno-winag that there is always a sup ply in the river ; and th-At, ever since the regulation, there has been little variation in price."

REFORM MEETING IN HAMI'Sr A N lIRE. D INNER WINCHESTER, MONDAY, SEPT. 26.—The leaders of the Reform party in Hampshire dined together at the George Hotel here this evening, having previously held a meeting for the purpose of forwarding the liberal interests of the county. The purposes of the meeting were purely those of business, and none were summoned to attend it save those who were calculated, by their positiono.eairntt objecthecoutlt of y, to aid by th e i r o pi n i on an d i n fl uence the the rie tof the county Reform , oi tyof tie members me cleanserswho every abtoiesorugehn7ddis t present them. These are of course entirel- misre sent to the southern division of thi uirected at pre. e• and, from th the meeting to-day , ."1 county, and to the city of : character of the proceedings of were conduce- and the business-like mode in which th e y ~ the Conservatives have much more than a su atent cause for apprehension ; iu fact, from the state -11-.ents made there, and the authority upon which they were made, there can be no doubt, not only that Mr. W. B. Baring will not have twenty votes for the city, but that Lord Palmerston and Sir George Staunton will be the Members for the Southern Division of Ilants, with a tri umphant majority, at the next election. At the meeting, which was held in the afternoon, nearly two hundred of the elite of the county, as regard property, intelligence, and influence, were present. Amongst them were—Mets:. s . Sliaw Lefevre and J. W. Scott, the Members for tl'.e North ern Division of Hants ; Mr. Ralph Etwall, M.P., Mr. C. J. Hector, M.P., Sir Henry Tichhwarne, Bart., R. Tich bourne, Esq., J.P., the Rev, Sir J. Barker Mill, Colonel G. Purefot, Jervoise, J. P., E. Nightingale, Esq., J. P. James Weld, Esq., J.P., John Young, Esq., Mayor of Winchester ; Captain Blakistone, R.N.,, Henry Holmes, t sq., Henry Marsh, Esq., James Theobald, Esq., Henry Knight, Esq., Winnall, R. Knight, Esq., W. Spain, Esq. &c. &c. G. J. JEavorsE, Esq., was called to the chair. Mr. HECTOR, M.P., then said that he had in the first place to regret the absence of his co -secretary, Mr. Bon ham Carter, who was prevented from being present only by indisposition. He had yesterday, however, gone over the account of the constituency with his Hon. Friend, who lint shown that he had not been inattentive to their 3 1 .‘ilerests, however he might suffer from indisposition, f or he had for warded to the proper quarter the grotrads of objection to such votes as were to be opposed in the districts of New Forest and Christchurch, which were those from which chiefly opposition was to be apprehended.--(Cheers.) He was happy to find that any difficulties they would have to contend with were much less than those of last year ; and he trusted that before they separated the list of subscrip tions would be more than adequate to fight their battles with the Tories.—(Cheers.) HENRY MARSH, Esq., was happy to inform the meeting that the whole county had now the power in case of an election to place itself in the position in which it should stand.-7(Cheers.) This assurance, however, should not induce them to relax in their efforts; for, although the enemy appeared to be asleep, yet they slept as the Bristol merchants were said to sleep—with one eye open—(Laugh ter)—they, therefore, should take care also to have one eye open, at least to the efforts of their opponents ; and he felt sure that they would not he satisfied until they had the principles of Reform carried justly into effect, and equal justice dealt out to every part of the empire.—(Loud cheers.) Here he could not but allude to one essential part of the empire — Ireland—(Hear)—and he was satisfied that because England had obtained Municipal and other Reforms, she would not set down quietly and say, let the Irish do the best they can for themselves.—(Cheers.) He would propose a vote of thanks to the Members for the Northern Division of the county, for their attentir to its interests and those of the country in Parliament. J. GUITON, seconded the mnt;:on, which was car ried by acclana;,tion. Mr. SHA:w LEFEVRE said that in regard to the southern division of the county, he firmly believed that it was the in teuti'm of Sir G. Staunton to present himself to its consti tuency when another election should occur, and he was sure the Reformers there would give him a triumphant support. In regard to Lord Palmerston, however, it was a delicate matter to ask him what his intentions were, for it was impossible for him, representing as he did at present another constituency, to say what he proposed to do at the next election.—(Hear.) His (Mr. Lefevre's) Honourable Friend had alluded to the measures of last Session, and had said that it was impossible that Englishmen could remain satisfied with the results.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Now, he could assure them that if others were satisfied he must enter strongly his protest against this, for he saw no reason whatever for satisfaction.—(Loud cheers.) It was true that about one hundred statutes had been passed, but reinongst them there were few indeed of those important questions in which Reformers took an interest which had born passed through more than one house of Parliament Hear). There was one Bill, indeed, which he wits happy had become the law—the Tithe Bill ; which Was, in his opinion, the greatest boon the Parliament had it in its power to con fer on the agricultural interests of the country.--( Hear, hear.) That, however, had been passed, and he would add it to the Births and Marriage Bill. which was now the law, and which was one step towards that religious liberty which they had been so long desirous to achieve.—(Loud cheers.) But what had become of the Bill for the reform of the Irish Municipul Corporations ?—(Hear, hear.) Those Corporations had been acknowledged by the Tories to be corrupt, although Lord Lyndhurst had denied that this acknowledgment had been made ; but when the question was before the House of Commons there wee not an individual upon the Tory benches who was hula enough to say that these bodies were not corrupt, and they gave the best possible test of this by rating their entire aboli tion.—(Hear, and cheers.) Why, however, had not the Bill passed into law 2—(Hear, hear.) Because it was said that it would confer power upon the Roman Catholics, who in numbers prevailed in the towns of Ireland ; and, would they believe it, that Lord Lyndhnrst, who was the most eloquent advocate for Catholic Emancipa tion, was the first man to do all in his power to pre vent its benefits having force by preventing Roman Catho lics obtaining municipal rights and privilefics.—(llear l and " Shame.") Then, as respected the Irish. Chtirch Bill— what had become of it ? They well knew ho' the hearts of all Reformers were set upon * ) tie appropriation clause. It was I , Ur th e pri nc ipl e w hi t ! , it recognised, not so much for any - immediate bends: it would confer upon Ireland ; but Bill had bee n sent down by the House of Lords 'with this clausr.; struck out. They were not astonished, therefore, t i oat the Commons rejected the Bill thus muti lated.--(No, no.) The Tories certainly said that that clause tended to the destruction of the Protestant Esta blishment in Ireland ; but he (Mr. Lefevre) would like to know of what advantage to it had been all the advantages it had hitherto enjoyed ?—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") Instead of promoting religion, they had the contrary effect, and the Roman Catholic religion had increased in propor tion to the endowment of the Protestant Establishment in Ireland.—(Loud cheers.) It was no wonder, then, that the Tory Lords had pursued the line of conduct they had adopted.---( Hear, hear, hear.) They all remembered what their conduct had been at the time when the Reform Bill was under consideration—(Hear)—when nn,oatkheintghbemutytiheid, threats of the ann ihil at i on o f t h e i r order could at the period when Lord Grey's Govern ment was sueerseded ; and was it matter of astonishment at their conduct in the instance to which he now alluded?— (Hear, hear.) But although he was well aware that if they persevered in this they would destroy the order to which they belonged, yet he did not despair of a happy re sult. If Reformers united for this, they would be enabled to stem the strong tide that had set against them.—( Hear, hear.) Let Englishmen, then, be but true to themselves, and they would coerce the Lords into reason.—(Hear, hey`.., and cheers.) He hoped, then, to see the Govern ment, at the commencement of the next Session, intro duce measures of sound and just policy, without any com promise with their opponents.—(Loud cheers.) Let them persevere with such measures as should follow that Reform .Bill for which they had struggled so hard.—(Cheers.) H e hoped that thus would be completed the charter of reli gious liberty, in the extinction of church-rates—(Loud cheers.) And that tardy justice would be done to Ireland, which its people so well merited, if they were determined to show that the Union between the countries was not a mockery —th a t C a th o li c emanc i pat i on was not a d e lu s ion. Mr. S COTT returned thanks. Sir J OHN BARKER MILL proposed a vote of thanks to the Hon. Members for Andover and Petersfield who were then present, for their honest an d cons i s t en t P ar li a m en tary conduct. R. TICHIIO R carried amidstul NE ' - '" mr. R. FirwoAut.d cheers.

He could only say that he considered this to be the grand specific for reforming the Lords, and that when his consti tuents called upon him to lend his aid in achieving it, he would be at his post to obey their directions.—(Cheers.) On the motion of E. NIGHTINGALE, Esq., seconded by THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 2 ISA J. WELD, Esq., a resolution of thanks was voted to J. Young, Esq., the Mayor of Winchester, for his services as treasurer of the Reform Association of Hants. Mr. YOUNG returned thanks, and said he would be glad to repeat his services in the present year.

The longer this was delayed, the more productive of agitati'A tt.; the country would be the delay ; but if that '°dSriin.sisted in their present course, the business of the nation would be to insist upon an immediate Reform of the Lords.—(Cheers.) W. SPAIN, Esq., then said, that he was aware Sir George Staunton would be ready to stand as a candidate for South Hants at the next election ; and that having hitherto acted as an agent for Lord Palmerston there, he had every reason to believe that he would stand also.--(Loud cheers.) There could be no doubt of their success. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was then passed, and a Committee to conduct the business of the registration was appointed, and retired to promote the object of the meeting. A subscription * a s e n thr tt t !nth) Which, in the course o the day, we undettmkt Mounted to a large sum. Suet are the ekhNtions of re-action in favour of Toryism in agri, cultural liampsbirc I The dinner took place in the ball-room of the George, where a large company sat down at five o'clock. Mr. Shaw Lefevre in the chair ; and Mr. Marsh in the vice-chair. After the cloth had been removed, and the usual number of loyal toasts proposed from the Chair, Mr. MARSH said, that he had now the agreeable duty to perform of giving " The health of the Members of the northern division of Hants."--(Lond cheers. Mr. LEFEVRE returned thanks in an eloquent speech, in the course of which he observed that he was convinced that the repeal Peel's Bill would have no effect in supplying capital to the farmer. He knew that the agriculturists had lost money in consequence of that measure, but even more mischief would result from any effort to retrace our steps...- (Cheers.) When he sought and recommended a repeal of one-half the malt-tax, he did so with the sanction of a com mission, of which Sir Henry Parnell was the head, and he knew that that reduction could take place and the revenue not suffer, if a reduction in the price of foreign barley was made at the same time.—(Hear, and cheers.) Then in respect to the property-tax, which was advocated by his friend Mr. Marsh, he (Mr. Lefevre) was once of the same opinion ; but upon examination he found that instead of such a tax affecting the ' , xi/40)016e, it would affect those individuals of the middle Classes whose savings were vested in the fund% titla who were th e pr i nc i pa l f un dh o ld ers ; for he tUtna in consequence of a return for which he moved for two years ago, that of 180,000 persons receiving divid.nds from the funds, at least 100,000 did not receive from them more than 10/. a-year ; therefore it was not upon the millionaire the burden of a tax upon funded poperty would fall, but upon the middle classes, who had invested their savings in the funds.—(Hear.) Besides this, the effect of a property-tax upon the manufacturing interests would be deplorable, and would have the effect of driving the manufacturers and operatives of this country to the tontinent and to America—(Hear, hear)—and they had now passed the Rubicon, and it did not remain to be de cided whether this was an agricultural or a manufacturing country.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SCOTT, in returning thanks, agreed altogether in what had been stated by his Hon. Friend and colleague. Several other toasts were drunk, and speeches were made by Messrs. Hector, Marsh, Jervoise, Sutton, &c., &c., when the company separated. UNPUBLISHED LETTER OF SIR W . SCOTT ON THE STATE OF IRELAND. (Prom the Inverness courier.) My dear ----I conclude you are now returned with wife and bairns to --, and not the worse of your tour. T. have been the better of mine : and Killarney being the extreme point, I am just about to commence my return to Dublin, where I only intend to remain two or three days at furthest. I should like to find a line from you, addressed " Care of David M'Culloch, Esq., Cheltenham," letting me know how matters go on at Abbotsford. I have every reason to make a good report of Ireland, having been r ece i ve d w ith di st i nct i on, w hi c h i s flattering, and with warm-hearted kindness, which is much better. I am happy to say the country is rapidly improving every year, and argues the spirit that is afloat, and indicates that British capital i s fi n di ng i ts way i nto a country w h ere it can be employed to much advantage. The idea of security is gaining ground even in those districts, which are, or rather were, the most unsettled ; and plenty has brought its usual companion, content, in her hand. But the public peace is secured by large bodies of an armed police, called by the' civil term of constables, but very unlike the Dogbcrries of Old England, being in fact soldiers on foot and horse, well armed and mounted, and dressed exactly like our yeomen. It is not pleasant to see this, but it is absolutely necessary, for some time at least ; and, from what I can hear, the men are under strict discipline and behave well ; they are com manded by the magistracy, and are very alert. The soil is in most places extremely rich, but cultivation is not as yet well understood. The accursed system of making peats interferes with everything ; and I have passed through whole counties where a very noble harvest, ripe for the sickle, was waiting for the next showe sof rain, while all the population, who should cut, were up to the middle in the bogs. Not a single field of turnips have I seen, owing probably to the same reason. The political disputes are of far less consequence here than we think in Britain, but I think on the whole it would be highly desirable that the Catholic Bill should pass ; it would satisfy most of the higher classes of that persuasion who seem much inclined to favour a sort of low church, differing in ceremonies more than essential points from that of the English Church ; I mean they would do this tacitly and gradually. The lower class will probably con tinue for a long time bigoted Papists ; but education be coming general, it is to be supposed that Popery in its violent tenets will decline even amongst them. By the way, education is already far more general than in Eng land. I saw in the same village about 400 Catholic chil dren attending one school, and about 200 Protestants at tending another. The peculiar doctrines of neither Church were permitted to be taught, and there were Protestants amongst the Papist children, and Papists among the Pro testants. The general condition of the peasantry requires much improvement ; their cabins are wretched, and their dress such a labyrinth of rags, that I have often feared some button would give way and shame us all. But this is mending, and the younger people are all more decently dressed, and the new huts which are rising are greatly bet ter than the old pig-sties. In short, all is on the move and mend ; but, as I must be on the move myself, I must de fer the rest of my discoveries till we meet. We have in our party Anne Lockhart, Walter, and his wife, and two Miss Edgeworths ; so we are a jolly party. Will you show this to Lady Scott. I wrote to her two days since. Always truly yours, Killarney, August 8, 1825. WALTER SCOTT. Previous to the Marquis and Marchioness of Lon donderry leaving Stockholm, the King of Sweden presented to the Marchioness a most rare and highly valuable porphyry jardiniere, as a mark of respect and attachment to her husband. Her Majesty the Queen also presented the Marchioness with a superb bracelet. Prince Esterhazy will be here in ten days. His Excellency's departure from Vienna has been delayed by im portant avocations. The Duchess of Marlborough has returned to her new residence in Green -street, Park-lane. The Duchess of Bedford has left her cottage in the Highlands for Balburnie, the seat of General Balfour, where Mr. and Mrs. Ellice, juu., and the Marquis of Abercorn, will meet hafilrace. The Marquis of Thomond will not visit Rostellat Castle this year.__ Harewood House, in Hanover-square, will not be ready for the reception of the family for some months ; the workmen have been constantly employed for nearly a }ear. In this mansion was formed the Roxburgh Club, so celebrated in the annals of lit e rature, about h a lf a century ago. The Count Sebastiani will leave Paris on Satur day next. His Excellency expresses a hope of being here on the Monday following. The Earl of Lichfield has been entertaining Lord George Bentinck, Sir Lowell Glynn, Baron de Rutzen, and a party of fashionable sportsmen, at Shugborough Hall. Dean Tucker, of Bristol, though a clergyman, very honestly observed, in answer to a claim made for a certain sect of English Dissenters, that toleration bad been first advocated by them—that toleration owed nothing to the clergy of any sect but their opposition to it—that it originated with the Dutch shopkeepers, who, in spite of their clergy, thought it possible for men of different creeds to have commercial deal ings with each other, and to live peaceably under the same laws. • PRICES tiF gTOCkS THIS DAf A'i ; ONE b;choc§..

LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28, 1836. The Meeting of the leading Reformers of Hamp shire, the proceedings of which will be found reported in. another part of our Paper, will not we think, be very palatable to the Tories. To the liberal part of the community it is a subject of sincere congratulation that the vaunts of re-action so impudently put forth by the Tories arc rousing the too quiescent spirit of reform in various parts of the country, and in Hampshire among the rest, to a re-assertion of those principles, which, so fat from being on the wane, have been taking deeper and deeper root in the public mind since the triumph of the people over the Lords on the passing of the Reform Bill. That a powerful effort has been made and is making on the part of the Tory Aristocracy to defeat the objects of the great charter of o r liberties, we rea dily admit. All the world sees and knows that there is a widely ramified conspiracy among the old usurpers of the people's rights to oppose the new order of things, and not only to do this—not only to stop the further progress of national improvement, but to bring us back to the state of bondage and degradation from which we have delivered ourselves. That these conspirators have met with any success, far be it from us to assert. All that they have been able to accomplish hitherto, has been to intimidate those over whom, un happily, they possessed an absolute authority, into a forced compliance with their views, and, by means the most iniquitous that can be imagined, by appealing to the baser feelings, and pandering to the baser appetites, of nature, to corrupt the fidelity of others to the con stitution of their country. These are the honourable means by which the boasted triumph has been accom plished. Terror has made a few slaves, and bribery a few hypocrites—and this is a glorious re-action ! ! The speeches delivered at the Great Meating to which we have alluded—that of Mr. SHAW LEEEVRE in particular—will be read with no ordinary degree of interest. The Hon. Gentleman selected the topics of h:s address withgreat tact, and sent them home to the bosoms of his auditors with a spirit and force that were irresistible. The Hereditary Incurables were shown up in a very superior style, and it is worthy of remark, that the loudest plaudits followed the delivery of those passages in which he exposed the folly and the wickedness of the Tory Lords, and recommended that the Commons should use, without flinching, the great weapon which the Constitution has put into their hands—the Stoppage of the Supplies--if the Lords, in the next Session of Parliament, should ex hibit the same refractory and anti-national spirit which they have lately displayed. Some of the Speakers went even farther than this, insisting that nothing short of Peerage Reform would answer the purpose of rational legislation ; that with out this specific reform—without an organic change in the constitution of the House of Lords by which that body shall be made responsible to the poople, there could be no security for their good behaviour, nor,consequently, for good Government ;and that, there fore, the country ought not and would not be satisfied, until all the branches of the Legislature shall be made equally responsible to the source from which all le gitimate power springs. These sentiments found an an echo in the breasts of the Hampshire Reformers—not a rabble be it observed. The Tories cannot bring their usual abusive charge against this Meeting, that it was a low or insig nificant one. The elite of the county were here as sembled—all the principal landed proprietors breathing fury against the House of Peers. What a grand spectacle I—what 4 a prospect for Peerage Reform I We think the Tories must now have had nearly as many proofs—we mean practical proofs—of their fa vourite theory of re-action as they wish for. We r.re rather surprised, indeed, that the general outbreak in favour of Toryism, which has been so often and so triumphantly announced by the trumpeters of the fac tion, has been so long delayed, when we consider the numerous symptoms indicative of such an explosion, which we have observed and recorded of late. Among the illustrations of this sublime truth, we shall merely diention the three titioetish-looicii;g words, Cumber land, SometsettAifej Hattipsliife:, Our Contemporary, the Herald, publistie6 froi , loiting intelligence from Mexico and Texas, in 6aottd Ltlitio " FALMOUTH, SEI'T. !?6, 9 P. !.a. —l.li 01:1 1 C k t _ . e Stage, Lieu;.,;:lant Parsons, has just arrived AltriPm: , She left Tampico on the 2 7th July, Vera Cruz 7thi, and the HaVaiiiied with mails and 843,000 dollars, the girediel f)'6:ii of which is efl 11?401 1 alttpf aeeottnt ; the residue cerqi. , io itenvictances from Real del i!lS 4 nie;• Iqe:tieo though out was tranqe.; ! 4 !4d by the advices from the Which ate to the sth of August, thei'd ripyveared less apprehensinn a' an outbreak than had previously existed: The excitement pro duced in the minds of the people on the eowrouneement of Santa Anntes &viten' 11-: , ?,d become much lessened, a gene ral feeling faVolitiihfe to the present Government was vertr2m nifest. General ifria 'lad appinie'd Commander-in-thief of the &My of the RepubliC, And was making every prepara tion to mareli against the Texians, tut the army ffsls mainly composed of raw Materials, the major pan being yahoo teers. It was feared that settle detention in tlleir marching would be occasioned by the embarinesed state of the Treasury, which is represented as being unusuully /ow. Contributions were, however, spoken of for the maintenance of the army. Jose Justo Corro, as Vice President, acted in hie official ca pacity with much firmness, the Congress was assembled, and the chief point engaging its attention was still the code of laws which was to form the base of the central Gouernmcnt. " Santa Anna remained prisoner in the bands of the Tex ians, and but little efforts appeared to be made for his re lease, his fate it was generally believed would be that of death. The Mexican troops had completely put down the rebels at Oaxaca, but they had previously sacked the greater part of the city. The ringleaders were, however, taken and shot. In the city of Mexico the Exchange was at 444, and at Vera Cruz, 47f." The French Government has given orders for dis banding the Spanish auxiliary legion formed at Pau. General LEBEAU and the Algerine legion are to re enter France forthwith—so that the Spanish auxiliary expedition is now fairly at an end. M. BIDEAUD, a superior officer, charged to convey the orders of the the Minister of War to Generals lIARISPE and LEBEAU, arrived at Bayonne on the 21st, and instantly proceeded to Lacarre, where Ge neral HARISPE has a private residence. This measure is tantamount to a declaration in favour of Don CARLOS on the part of the new French Cabi net ; and we have reason to know that MENDIZAB A L and his colleagues will so regard it. The Paris Papers of Monday, received this morn ing, contain no news of importance. It appears, how ever, that the great Northern Powers are in extacies with the late changes in the Cabinet and policy of France. The dismissal of the THIERS' Administra tion—the virtual abandonment of the Quadruple Al liance by the new Ministry—the covert support which is now given to the cause of Don CARLOS in Spain — the indignation expressed by the KING at the late re volutionary movement in Portugal—and the gradual advances of the Court towards the restoration of abso lute Monarchy, have won for LOUIS PHILIPPE the cordial greetings of the Austrian, Prussian, and Russian Ambassadors. Count D'AProNY, the Austrian Ambassador, who was at the bottom of the intrigue for ousting M. THIERS, has been rewarded for his services, by receiving from the Emperor FIER-. DINAND the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece. These things are trifling in themselves, but as indications of the future conduct of the Citizen KING they are of considerable importance. It is quite clear, that when once the King of the FRENCH has thrown himself into the arms of the Holy Alliance, the friendly relations now sub sisting between England and France will receive a shock which must eventually prove fatal to the tran quillity of Europe. We are aware that it has been contended that the only natural ally of Great Britain is Austria, and that the friendship of France has al ways been more fatal to this country than her enmity. The face of Europe has completely changed since this doctrine wore the semblance of probability. The strongest cement of national friendships is not so much geo graphical position as the facility of a profitable inter change of the products of soil and industry, and that general sympathy which originates in the similarity of free political institutions. The most cordial union be tween England and France is 'now necessary to the maintenance of the peace of Europe, as well as to the conservation of free institutions in Spain and Portugal. We submit this fact to the people of France, in order that they may be induced to take such measures as may check the infatuated KING of the Barricades in his blind and headlong career. The KING, QUEEN, and _Royal Family were to leave Neuilly for Compiegne on Monday night. The Temps notices a rumour to the effect that the new Cabinet has advised the appointment of the Duke of ORLEANS to the Commandership-in-Chief of the army. His Royal Highness would then hold the same appointment in France that the Prince of ORANGE does in Holland. The Journal dc Paris has ceased to be the coming organ of the Government. The cause of this ces sation is not explained. We have not received any intimation of the name of the Journal appointed to suc ceed it. The second edition of the Journal du ,Commerce of Monday contains the following circular, addressed by the Minister of War to the Lieutenant-General com manding the military territorial divisions, and the active divisions : " Paris, 25th Sept., 1830. " General—The King has been pleased to entrust to me the Department of War. I thus find myself called upon to succeed to those illustrious Marshals who, since our political regeneration, have held with so firm and able a hand the reins of this vast department (Administration.) I feel strongly how greatly I stand in need of the concurrence of my brothers in arms for the accomplishment of the important mission with which lam charged. My task, however, will be rendered less difficult if every member of the great military family daily redouble his zealous exertions for the fulfilment of the sacred duties which are imposed by a love of country, a devotion to the King, and the respect due to the institutions of the country. " A soldier of the empire, full of the recollection of our victories—happy in having been able to obtain distinction under the greatest Captain of modern times, at a period when our glorious armies presented so many honourable rivals,—l am the prouder of the distinguished favour which has placed me near the person of the King—of that Monarch to whom France has entrusted her high destinies. But the principal claim to this confidence of his Majesty no doubt consists in the zeal with which I have been animated for the interests of our fine and valiant army, which continues to afford an example of all the military virtues. Every thing which can contribute to its well-being and success will be eagerly embraced by me, and the army shall ever find me actively engaged in setting before the King its services and the claims of every individual on his paternal solicitude. This, General, is the spirit in which I have accepted the weight and responsibility which the choice of the King im poses upon me. It will make known to you the nature of the co-operation which I expect from you, at the same time that it gives me the assurance of the support which I shall find in your authority for the maintenance of that discipline without which an army cannot exist. and for the prompt, firm, and effectual repression of disorder (du desordre) wherever it may attempt to introduce itself. " Receive, General, the assurance, &c. &c., "BERNARD." Madrideapital waston 19th p e sfectt.l y h a t r v a e n h q e n e i I n . rec L ei e v t e t ( e L rs f , r r oz th t e he Since the departure of the troops in pursuit of GOMEZ, the National Guard alone has been entrusted with the conservation of peace and good order ; and we have pleasure in adding, that it has realized the favourable opinions entertained by Ministers of its devoted loyalty and sincere attachment to the Constitution. Never theless the condition of Spain is daily becoming more critical. The Cabinet is beset on every side by open enemies and hollow friends. The recent successes of GoMEz have alarmed some, and put the loyalty of others to a severe test. But the hardest blow yet dealt at Spanish liberty has been given by Frame. To make it the more severely and the more generally felt, England is comparatively inactive, while Portugal has enough to do to provide for her own safety. The secession of France from the Quadruple Alli- ___. tune has afforded the Northern Powers an opiortunit), of which they have availed themselves, of supplying the 1--i'l(27:ler With money ; and we arc confident that ~ lefehe to possess himself of Madrid, they would re cagtii& leis claims to the Sovereignty of Spain. 13 0 that is imposv:iblc, so long as the present remain in office ; and if fair play be affurde3 I‘lES liffAv,AL, Spain will soun be free, despite of the treachery cif LOUIS PHILIPPE. When Itomf. has once succeeded placing himself at the head of the army of the North, we shall soon hear very different accounts - from the Peninsula from those we are no' in the habit of recording.

The Minutes of the last Court were read and confirmed. BYE TAWS. After a long discussion, the alteration in the Bye Laws pro-: posed relative to the custody of the Company's Seal, proposed at the last general meeting, was agreed to. PILGRIM TAX. Mr. Iik: , YNDER expressed his regret that the instructions con tallied in the dispatch of the Court of Directors dated tbe 20th Feb., 1833, and forwarded to India, relative t o the ido latrous worship carred on there, and the relinquishment of till taxes derived from so polluted a source, had not been co m e lie a with—at all events no offiejal information to that effect bad as yet been made to that Court. Under those circumstanc es felt it his duty to give notice of a motion on the s ub j ect; he hoped the Directors would call a Special Court to take the matter into consideration. The CHAIRMAN declined calling a Special Court. Mr. POYNDER urged the necessity of doing something im mediately, as the fate of millions depended upon their decision. After a long discussion the motion was ordered to stand for the next Quarterly General Court. In answer to a question from Mr. MARRIOTT, The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Shepherd had been invited to return to his situation in the Proprietors'-room, but had de clined doing so. —The Court then adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (THIS DAY.) UNION-HALL. id- Henry Watson, who stated himself to be a solic itor, res ing at 15, Old Broad-street, was this morning brought 1?e:. fore Mr. WEDGWOOD, charged by a cab driver with drunk, and having refused to pay him his fare. Mr. The cabman stated that last night he was applied to by Mr. Watson to drive him to the Waterloo-road. He asked III"- what his fare would be, and on being told by witness three shillings, he offered less, which witness agreed to take. ; arriving, however, in the Waterloo-road, Mr. Watson refuse_ to pay, and witness was obliged to give him in custody to.* policeman, whojwas obliged to assist him out of the cab, In consequence of his being so drunk. Mr. Watson—l am a solicitor, and hating given 11 1 .7 t dress, 15, Old Broad-street, I have yet N learn so ° . right the Inspector had to detain me for not paying the far e d : it was only a debt, and I contend the Inspector acted eXce e the ingly improper in detaining me ; I am quite willing to PO • p g man his fare now, if he chooses to have it ; but as to hel, drunk, I deny it, and have no hesitation in saying I n . charge was trumped up for the purpose of enabling the spector to detain me. The Inspector said that Mr. Watson was very drunk itgl ee , cl ; so much so that he had more trouble with him than he °- had with any person before. Mr. WEDGWOOD—You must pay ss. for being drunk , t his man's fare, and something for his lost time ? nm Mr. Watson—l believe, under a statute of James 1., I allowed a week to pay the fine for being drunk.

Then, what time am I I to have to pay the fine '— being drunk in ? Mr. WEDGWOOD—A week. Mr. Watson—May I ask the cabman a question? Mr. ' WEDGWOOD—Oh, if you like. Mr. Watson (to the cabman)—Did I leave:my handkereji in your cab ?—( Great laughter.) The cabman assured s Watson that he did not. The money was then paid, and he left the office. TOWN-HALL.
