FINE ARTS. FI SHER'S PICTURESQUE ILLUSTRATIONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. PARTS 30, 31, 32. Fisher, London, 1836. Each of these Parts, which are of full quarto size, consist of not less than eight embellishments, illustra tive of some of the most picturesque landscapes, baronial castles, and monastic views in the kingdom. The views of Chatsworth, and of Dovedale, the most romantic spots in Derbyshire, perhaps in all England, and celebrated as the place where Cotton, the son-in " of old Isaac Walton, wrote his Treatise on Fly fishins(7,, are executed with much talent, and show a thorough acquaintance with the laws of perspective. Considering the general merit of the engravings, which are all from original drawings made for the purpose by Allom, this work is a remarkably cheap one, each Part being only two shillings in price. LITERATURE. would move for a petition to Parliament on the subject of Poor Laws, on which occasion he hoped to have the advice and assistance of their illustrious president, Daniel O'Con nell. In the course of the proceedings Mr. O'Brien an nounced the victory achieved by the Reformers in the place called Swords. A clear majority of 68 was obtained. CLARE COUNTY MEETING.—TIIO Clare County Meet ing took place on Saturday last. The Clare Journal (a Tory Paper) says it was numerously and respectably at tended. The first resolution was to the effect, that it is es sential to the connection of Ireland with Great Britain, as well as to the ends of peace and tranquillity, that the legis lative enactments for this country should be based upon principles of equal justice to all, without distinction of creed or party. The other resolutions were in the same spirit, and expressed the entire confidence of Ireland in Lord Melbourne and his colleagues, and that the gratitude of the country is especially due to the Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland, whose Government has been marked by principles of justice and mercy—principles new in the history of the country. TITHES AGAIN.—A letter from Kinsall details a shock ing case of cruelty, arising out of the tithe system. A wretched " cripple," Mahony, has been made the victim of Parson Creagh. He is now lying in Dublin Gaol. " The wretched man got no previous notice—he was hurried away without permission to finish the sad meal he was taking at the time, without a farthing in his pocket, or without the melancholy pleasure of a parting farewell from his afflicted family—to whom, in all probability, from his enfeebled state, he will never return. Of all the persecutions that took place in this unfortunate country under the tithe sys :,?m (and God knows they were many), not one could have a strougcr claim on the interference of a humane Govern ment than that ci this unfortunate creature. For seven years he has not been able, to dress or undress without as sistance." JOBBING I—A most scandalous job has been brought to light :—" An excellent police (according to the Mail) has been turned into a political engine !" And the proof of his atrocity lies in the horrible fact, that " an apothecary residing in the borough of Cashel has been appointed pay master of the police in the county of Tipperary. His name is O'Brien !" and further, he is suspected of an attachment to the same cause which Mr. O'Connell advocates. The unparalleled profligacy of this appointmect is of a nefa riousness which words are wanting to describe. Nothing short of an impeachment can satisfy the country. Mr. F. O'CoNNott.—Feargus has addressed an exceed ingly long letter to the Freeman, explanatory of his noto rious speech on the inutility of tie Justice Rent. Duar.lN SOCIETY.—The members of this body, in whom a fell and factious spirit festers, quite as prominently, we ap prehend, as either learning or science may be supposed to prevail in the Institution, appear to be seeking their own destruction with the desperate blindness of madmen. They not only demand the payment of the grant, despite the de cision of the House of Commons, and refuse the tender of the Lords of the Treasury, but they actually have the as surance and fatuity to talk of a mandamus. It is under stood that on the first day of Term they will apply to the Court of King's Bench for a mandamus to compel the Lords of the Treasury to band over unconditionally the grant now withheld by the authority of Parliament. TRANQUILLITY.—We are rejoiced to perceive that tran quillity is established in Enniskillen. There was not the slightest disturbance within the precincts of the loyal borough during the evening or night of a fair hitherto celebrated for riots, affrays, and waylayings. The report of the trials which recently took place at Enniskillen is corroborative of the fact that a better state of things is growing up amongst the peasantry of Ireland. THE DALESMAN. Ridgway, London, 1836. There is talent in this drama, though the plot is not remarkable for ingenuity, And still less for skilful e volvement. It drags through the ;::st four acts, and iS then hurried to an abrupt and clumsy coljusion, in the two last. The stern, high-minded Dalesma;:, however, is a vigorously pourtrayed character, and the language has occasionally much eloquence, though it never attains to poetry. We subjoin a favourable Specimen of the author's manner : " Friendship's a holier, surer tie than Love, 'Tis faster, nobler, more disinterested; 'Tis spotless, stainless, free from every thought Of selfish or of sensual tendency. Lov e may be fancy, and the lover know not ; But Friendship must be what it seems to be 'Where it is felt ; it is not felt by all, Uncounted millions know not what it is ! Love reigns in eyes, but Friendship sways in hearts In minds—in souls 1 Love doats, Friendship esteems ; Your Love is passion—Friendship intellect Love sighs to earth ; but Friendship breathes to heaven ; Your Love is present, Friendship bath a future." IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 3. DEATH' OF MRS. O'CONNELL.—The Pilot of this day announces the demise of Mrs. O'Connell. The mournful !vent took hice at half-past one o'clock on Monday morn .tab at Derrynene Abbey. Our Contemporary concludes . announcement of the calamity which has inflicted so tic en a wound on the happiness of Mr. O'Connell, by ob serving, that "if strangers ever thought that the spon taneous effusions of affection and descri p tions of virtue and happiness which burst at times from Mr. O'Connell were r edundant to those who witnessed that happiness and knew lhatflamented lady, they appeared almost feeble. Distin- Rn.ished as the wife of the foremost man of the age, Mrs. O'Connell was equally distinguished by those qualities of the hod and heart which sustained, in the most trying eircumstonces of an eventful life, her illustrious partner. None but those who knew Mrs. O'Connell can form a just estimate or ti'L° feminine fervour of her affections, and the Masculine str.'ogth of her understanding." ALDERMAN ..511"11. —The investigation has closed. Colonel Morris pe,".sevzring in his resolution not to be exa mined, Dr. Stock cm:Pi:Lined of a misrepresentation of a e stated that, in the course of very extraordinary nature ; h wr e attributed to him by the this in qu i r y, o b s ervations newspapers, which he had never made. Any remarks which he had felt called upon to make, were for the purpose of acquiring information on particular points, which either Counsel might be able to supply, and not involving any opinion in the matters in the charges against Alderman Smyth, proved or left unproved. He was induced to say this, from+ seeing in the Evening Mail a paragraph, which he believed was quoted from Saunders. The report complained of appeared in the three Morning Journals, although each had its own reporter. They are indignant at the fraud practised. When such tricks are resorted to, they plainly enough prove that the official proceedings disclosed on the Dublin election, are such that they must be marked by honest adjudication. Hon - did the false statement find its way concurrently into the three Morning Journals, we ask, if not through the Alderman's o;vn reporter? TH E DUNKERRIN SLAUGHTER.—.The Rebellion Ruffian The has been bailed by Colonel Lloyd and Mr. Wetherell. -rlie Mail tells us that if Ryan had not " been admitted to L ail yesterday, an application would have been this day made t ° the Court of King's Bench, for a writ of habeas corpus, on the return of which be must have been discharged in stanter," adding, we can assure our readers that measures are in progress to secure a discovery and prosecution of the unknow n murderers of poor Hogan ; and that his Reverence , Priest Nolan, mus t come forward and testify." LAW APPOINTMENTS.—AIthough nothing is officially known with regard to the new appo intments, there can be no doubt existing as to the acceptance of the Puisne Judge skiP by Mr. O'Lnglilen ; Mr. Richards to be the Attorney- General, Mr, Woulfe the Solicitor-General, and Mr. Ball, "ebelieve, be the new Serge ant. This is the ,srst day of Term, and Mr. C'Loghlen has n ot taken his seat upon the Bench ; nor has the King's authorising his a ppointment, been yet received. T he (Orange) Mail, with that extraordinary astuteness ewhich Tories rejoice in getting credit for, and having, of t i" rs e as all Tories have, a monopoly of authentic informa tvon, has been good enough to-day to enlighten its readers c r i su PlAyin. a true and faithful account of the cause of the Th -e laY which has occurred in filling up the vacant appoint -ents• Quoth our wondrous wise Contemporary 4':-- When the vacancy occurred, and that Mr. O'Loghlen pressed is disinclination to accept the office, it was 4 , lle ged by the Irish Executive, in order to meet his ', Bh es, that they could not dispense with the legal ad ;itfe and Parliamenlizry support of the Attorney-General. t , Ir• Richards, the SoliciOr-General, then naturall y looked the appointment ; but he was reminded that he took h is on th e distinct understand in g that he was to waive .1 Claim t o priority o n the first vacan c y , and it was ' 4 ded th a t M r . Sergeant Woulfe was the object of the Go vernment. Mr. Richards, it is said, denied being a party t o an y such stipulation ; but with a view of accommodating, `T Gove rnmen t, he consented to remain as Solicitor-Gene t...a!, Provided he was to have the next vacan c y that occurred, wh atever :hal vacancy might be—and this wi thout reference t o " „ Att or ney-General. Of course the Atto rne y -General i ' nid not or would not assent to this propositi on ; and Mr. 40 hard s not being disposed to relax, matters so stood for o ,n T e days, At length Lord Mulgrave sent for Mr, Loghlen—deseribed to him the dilemma in which the zeeutive was placed—and told him that his refusal to ac pt the situation of Puisne Judge would place the Go e'rnment in the position of having two Roman Catholics " r at Law Officers of the Crown—a thing not to be thought of ; and he thus left the Right Hon. Gentleman the alter native if resigning his office, or assu min g the ermine, He 4 ?olt the latter, and both he and Mr. Woulfe affect to eon -I:der thenwelves as very ill-used gen tlemen." This, be it °rn e in mind, is the Orange Mods account. It is stamped ~ N if that p ecu li ar character of veracity and authenticit y for bleb th e hirelings in the pay of the faction have obtained a notoriety more lasting than enviable. The Dublin Evening Post, of this evening, in an article Ill ustrati ve of what our contemporary j ustl y considers the tr ue ul Prin c ipl es by which public appointmen t s should be re eteel-, very properly declares its opinion that " on no °ea us l an office should be given to an enemy or a doubtful f rlen d; and, a bove all, that on no occasion should a man of n0 . 4) 0. Politi cs ' b e preferred.' We cordially concur with the in his view, as well as in believing that the Government 1 , 11 nid b r i ng a vast acces sion of power to bear on the cor - C t lonists, and consult the most important interests of the trritutied Ki ng d om , by " dismissing all enemies from public t x l) .°Ytnent." The result of the rule in the Customs and. s i ty e ' i le, with respect to advancement, which goes by senio rnewa these departments in Ireland, is the perpetual prefer of Orangemen, the u nderlings having all been put in tont " Tories. " All the good offices, therefore," says our aloon,Porary, " will go for several years to Orangemen N I :. The enemies of good governm ent thus en j o y a In eri ° t Poly of official emolument to the exclusion of aptitude, and patriotism. AP POINTM E N T S OF THE MAGISTRACY. --- T he Pilot ob telve we y e s. s .tnat these appointments are nearly as bad as they cit e I' l the worst times of Toryism.

Last night a fire broke out about nine o'clock on the premises of Messrs. Brooks, the extensive coach-manufac turers, Nos. 1 and 2, Commercial-place, City-road. Im mediately upon the alarm being given, messengers were dispatched to the different fire-engine stations ; but before *they could reach those places, the engine from the White cross-street station arrived, followed by one from Watling street,accompanied by Mr. Superintendent Braidwood, who had been attracted by the reflection of the flames. The engine belonging to the West of England was the next upon the spot, and was quickly followed by ten others from the different stations. Although the engines were got into full play with inconceivable alacrity, the flames had gained such a considerable bald of the premises that it was impossible to save them. The fire very shortly reached the adjoining premises of Messrs. Hyde and Co., the very extensive wad ding-manufacturers, which it entirely consumed. The flames then extended across Commercial-court, to the pre mises of Mr. Elder, horse-hair and brush-manufacturer, which it partially destroyed, but the engines having been passed through Bunhill-fields burial-ground, were brought to play effectually upon the building, by which means it was fortunately saved. All the houses immediately adjoining Mews, Brooks's premises were partially damaged. Shortly after the alarm was given a large force of police of the G and N divisions, under the direction of Mr. Su perintendent Maisey arrived upon the spot, and rendered the moat prompt and praiseworthy assistance. The con duct of some of them drew fr o m the inhabitants of the ne ighbourhood the strongest ma rks of approbation ; Wad, No. 114, of the G'division, who almost the first upon the premises after the fire was discovered, in his anxiety to pre serve the books, &e., was very near losing his life. He had gone into Messrs. Brooks's counting-house, and, while there, the door was shut upon him, and lie must inevitably had not Tilt, the active officer of Worship street, burst e b r u is r had' stopen the door and pulled him out, almost suf focated. It is impossible at present to state how the fire originated ; many rumours were rife upon the subject, some attributing it to have broken out upon the premises of Messrs. Hyde ; but the more general, that it occurred at Messrs. Brooks's. The appearance of the atmosphere within grand; uarter of an hour after the fire broke out was awfully g such all appearance not having been pre sented since the memorable conflagration of the Houses of Parliament, The damage done is very considerable, amounting at least to 10,0001. The following is a list of the property destroyed, so far as we were able to ascer tain in the confusion The houses, Nos. 1 and 8 2, C o mmercial•place, in the occupation of Messrs. Brooks, entirely destroyed, with very extensive back premises; some few carriages were saved, the rest of the stock entirely destroyed. Damage esti mated at 6,0001. ; insured partly in the Sun and Protector —amount not. known. _ The house and premises of Messrs. Hyde entirely de stroyed, with all the valuable engines and apparatus. Damage, x,OOOl. ; house insured in the Phoenix ; stock, &c. not insured. Mr, Olding, watchmaker, No. 3, damaged ; insured in the sun, The Atheneum Coffee-house, No. 4, damaged ; insured in the Sun. Mr. Brothert on, No. 5, harness-maker, &c., damaged ; insured in the Protector. The premises of Mr. Elder arc insured for a considerable amount ; but the damage is estimated at about 5001. It was considered that there were more persons present than hat been known upon any similar occasion for a long period. By twelve o'clock the fire was so far subdued, that no further danger was apprehended. We feel much regret in having to state that serious disturbances at present exist between the cotton•mill pro prietors of this town and neighbourhood and the spinners in their employ. The main causes of dispute arc, we be lieve, partly in reference to an advance of wages demanded by the hands, and partly on account of a determination which the masters have come to, to resist the general unions existing throughout the trade amongst the work people, Wo fear that there are strong grounds f'or the ap prehension tiAt these disputes may ultimately lead to a general turn.ont.---Prgtrtom Chronicle.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVENIBEIi 4, 1836. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. Lieutenant-General Baron Voirol has been elevated to the dignity of a Peer of France by a Royal ordinance, dated yesterday. The Bon Sens affirms that several superior officers, and NI. Frank Carre, the Procureur-General, have set off post for Strasburg ; and adds, that it is stated that the Countess de Lipano, who is at Paris, is kept under guard in her apartments. The France says upon this subject--" The ex- Queen of Naples, the Countess de Lipano, is stated to have been for several weeks under suspicion, and her per son has been secured. It was believed that the law pro ceedings, stated to have occasioned her coming to France, were a mere pretence, and that her appearance in Paris was connected with the plot which has just broken out, but which has been a long time hatching. It is also said that she was connected with the famous conspiracy which caused the review of July 28th to be countermanded ; and that she comprises the whole secret of that conspiracy, on which the Government has hitherto been so unaccountably silent." " Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is son of the ci decant King of Holland, and was born on the '2oth April, 1808. He received his military education at the camp of Thoun, in the canton of Berne, which is annually formed for the instruction of the officers of engineers and artillery in Switzerland. In 1831, he took an active part with his brother in the insurrection of the Italian patriots in Ro magna. Being driven out of Italy, he passed through France with his mother ; and before he left Paris he ad dressed a letter to the King, offering to serve in the French army. Having made a journey to England, he returned to Switzerland in August, 1831. A secret deputation was sent to him from Warsaw, offering him a command in the Polish army, but he was prevented from settir b , out by the capture of Warsaw. Some time afterwards he published a pamphlet, entitled "Considerations Politique et Militaire sur la Suisse," on which the Swiss Government conferred upon him the honorary title of citizen of the Swiss Repub lic. This distinction, which does not amount to naturalisa tion, was granted to Marshal Ney on the act of mediation, and to Prince Metternich, under the influence of the events of 1815. In June, 1834, Prince Louis Bonaparte was ap pointed a Captain in the artillery of Berne, and in 1835, published another pamphlet, entitled " d'Artillerie pour la Swisse." " The Journal des Debats has the following details re specting the attempt at Strasburg, the authenticity of which it warrants The young Prince Louis Napoleon arrived at Strasburg the day before (October 29), and found an asylum in the house of Mademoiselle Bro. Early in the morning he put on his military uniform ; it was of green cloth, similar to that worn by the Emperor Napoleon, with white breeches, high boots, and small hat ; he wore deco rations, and the cordon rouge. The Prince, accompanied by Colonel Vaudrey, the Commandant Parquin, and his two orderly officers, went to the artillery barracks. It was half-past five in the morning. The soldiers had to pass an inspection of their arms, and were ready. The Colonel formed them into a circle, and addressed them to the fol lowing effect My friends, I have just been nominated General.—(Acclamations.) I will cause 40f. to be distri buted to each of you.'—(Louder acclamations of Long live our Colonel?) After a pause of a few moments, he continued Apropos I have to inform you that a revo lution has broken out in Paris—the King's Government is overthrown—Napoleon 11. has been proclaimed.' Then turning to the young Prince, who was by his side, and show ing him to the troops, he said, ' I present to you Napo leon ll.' Some non-commissioned officers and soldiers cried, ' Vive Napoleon II." Vive l'Empereur !"lhe Colonel and the young Prince, with his orderly officers and a small number of adherents, left the barracks. They divided into three parties, —one, under the orders of the Colonel, went to the residence of the Prefect, M. Cluppin d'Arnouville ; the other, commanded by the Prince and M. Parquin, hastened to the residence of General Voirol, the Commandant of the division ; and the third went to the house of the Commandant-General of the de partment. The Prefect was arrested and a guard set over him. General Voirol, sufficiently surprised at receiving a visit from the Prince, was still more so when he offered him his hand and appealed to his loyalty, patriotism, and courage, and used all his address in endeavouring to seduce him. The General, however, repelled the advances of the Prince with great animation. Upon this, Commandant Parquin ordered up a picket of 20 men, and stationed them in the room, ordering them not to suffer the General to leave it. Louis Buonaparte then hastened to join Colonel Vaudrey, who was on his return from the Prefecture. Nevertheless, M. de Franqueville, General Voirol's aide-de-camp, got into his apartment by a private door, received his orders, and hastened to carry them into executiont. Lieutenant- Colonel Talandier, informed by the aide-de-camp of, what had taken place, went to the quarters of his regiment, the 46th, at Finckmatt, where he learned that the Prince and his troop were directing their steps, and where, in fact, he had arrived with Colonel Vaudrey, having been joined by the Commandant Parquin, Lieu tenant Laity, and Quartermaster Boisson, and was haranguing the men in the barracks. To command the soldiers to close the gates—to place sentinels at them—to accost the Prince, and reproach him for his odious attempt —to tear off his epaulettes, decorations, and orders, and trample them under foot—to order his arrest, together with Colonel Vaudrey, and the other accomplices, and place them in safe custody, was the business of only a few mi nutes. The presence of mind shown by M. de Franqueville was most admirable. Soon, however, General Voirol ar rived at the head of the 16th of the Line. Nothing, how ever, can give a just idea of the enthusiasm with which the citizens received the soldiers, when, after having triumphed over the spirit of the revolt, they were reviewed in the Place d'Armes. The whole population may be said to have united in signifying its concurrence in this victory gained by order and the laws." The Journal du Haut et Bas Rhin of the 31st ult. gives the following Commandant Parquin is Chief d'Esea _ dron of the Paris Municipal Guard ; he often can) to Alsace, on his way to the environs of Constance, where his wife possesses extensive property. Queen Hortense, mo ther of Prince Louis, resides at Constance. At 9 o'clock, the seven persons arrested (Eleonore Bro is not mentioned by the Strasburgh paper) were transferred from the bar racks of Finckmatt to the civil prison, in five carriages, under escort of the artillery and the 46th of the Line. The troops stationed along their passage shouted Vive le Roil' Another arrest has taken place, that of Lady Gor don. This evening, at nine o'clock, at the theatre, be tween two acts, a warrant issued against M. G. Silkcrmann, the printer, was executed without any resistance on his part, and he was conducted to prison by three gendarmes, We are ignorant of the facts which led to his arrest.' " In consequence of an Ordinance of the 22d of October, founded on the report of M. Joarditin, the Council•chamber of the Tribunal of First Instance has handed over for trial to the Royal Court, two individuals, named Fontenelle and Oursel, charged with an attempt against the King's life ; Leprestre, Duboccage, Bruna, Castand, Henin, Housard, Chouche, Pasquin, Daussin, Venant, and others, accused of conspiracy against the State, and having struck and wounded several public agents, with the intent to kill them ; the above-named and Delarue having besides belonged to au illegal association ; Flotte, Badieu, Drouet, and others ; like wise members of an illegal association, and having had "li k their possession a depot of arms, and Dupabet fpf an of fence against the King's person, The qiptmal ordered those individuals to be tried separately, u,nder those regpoe. tive charge:, Tho Votwil-charnher? directe d that Wolff, Pellerin, Hersant, and the brothcre Cropin, should be set at liberty, there existing no sufficient charges against them to warrant their prosecotion."—Journal General de4 Tei• bunaux.

I understand that the Exaltado party have had a meeting, in which it has been resolved to support the Ministry in the adoption of a second Chamber, which will be elective and formed upon the model, it is said, of the American Senate. By these acts the Cortes prove themselves to he a body adapted to the practical business purposes of legislation, not led away by vain theories. In the sitting of the 25th instant committees were ap pointed for the consideration of all matters relating to 1. The qualification of Members-2. Legislation -3. Fi nance-4. War-5. Marine-6. Church Affairs -7. In- fraction of the Constitution—S. Commerce (Trade)- 9. Agriculture and Arts—lo. Public Instruction -11. Provincial Deputations -12. Liberty of the Press-13. Public Libraries-14. Ultramarine Provinces-15. Build- Lng, and Interior Government of the Cortes-16. Correc- ion of Language. At present there are but 87 Members whose qualifica- ions had been approved. The whole number is 241. In the same sitting a petition was presented from an in- dividual of the name of Pereira, calling upon the Cortes to take into consideration the infraction of articles 131, 133, 189, 191, of the Constitution, committed by the present Ministers since they came into power. Article 131 of the Constitution prescribes, under ‘2.6 heads, the power of the Cortes. Articles 189 and 19 im pose the obligation of joining to the Queen Mother, as Regent, two Deputies of the Cortes, and two Members of the Council of State. Several Members spoke upon this subject, scouting the petition as vague and indefinite in its accusations, observing that no particular fact was alleged in support of the charge brought against the Ministers of having infringed the Con• stitution. Being put to the vote, whether the petition was to be sent to the Committee for considering of infractions of the Constitution, the question was resolved in the negative. Another proposition, signed by about forty Members, was then read, to the following effect :—" The conclusion of the war being the most important and urgent subject, we ask the National Congress_ to be pleased to nominate a Special Committee, in order that it may propose in the shortest time the means of terminating the civil war in the most rapid and certain manner." M. Caballero—The lowest representative of the nation can do now what two entire Estamentos could not do for- merly. By the happy re-establishment of the Constitution, the Deputies of the nation have the road open to make such propositions as they may think conduci-.7'.1. to the well being of the country. This proposition. - recommends itself. The Deputies who have just arrived from the provinces, must have seen with their own eyes the numberless evils that Spaniards suffer in consequence of this disastrous war. Almost all the Spanish youth is under arms ; the provinces contribute, besides the ordinary taxes, large disbursements, and it is our duty to see how is to be alleviated this accu mulation of evils. After some observations from several Members the pro position was adopted, and the question being put whether the Committee was to be appointed by the Cortes, it was resolved in the affirmative, The Committee was apppointed yesterday. In the sit ting of yesterday, the Minister of the Marine and the Mini ster of the Interior read their respective reports of the state of their administrations. This day Senor Mendizabal will read his report upon the financial state of the country. Yesterday it was announced in the Cortes, upon the authorit y ' of a letter from the Alealde of Altnendalejo, that a victory has been gained over Gomez by Alaix on the 21st or 22d. The announcement was received with exulting shouts by the strangers in the different galleries, and much eseitement was caused throughout the town in the course of the day. Ido not credit the news, because on the 22. d Gomez was before Almaden, and by certain in telligence, come this morning he was engaged during the whole of the 23d, from daybreak till nightfall, in endeav ouring to possess hmsolf of that town. Almaden is defended by General Flinter. He has been promoted for his gal lantry, and now comm an d s 1,,500 men, not of the best de scription, but he will at least set them a good example, and it seems that ltd WS already kept at bay 8,000 men a whole day with his little band. By a private letter from Manza rArg it is stated that Redd had set out with as many men as he could carry in carts and conveyances of every descrip tion for Almaden and by calculations made by Alaix some days back, I know it was expeeted that he would come up with Gomez on th e uad . Under these circum stances you may expeot that the next news from Almaden will be not a little interesting. PosTscßirv,—The courier having been detained a few hours I am enabled to add that there are two accounts in town respecting the defence of General Flinter at Al maden ; one that he had beaten off the the rebels, who had taken the read northwards through Estremadura the other that he had gone out to meet the enemy, and had met with a defeat. The first account I have from authority, the second is not from a good source, nor is it probable. I have now a letter from General Flinter, dated the 22d at night, stating that his advanced post s had just been attacked after having had the rebel force for three days in sight. In this letter he states, upon the testimony of some prisoners he had taken a few days before in a rrookoissance, that Gomez had moo men, of whom 5,000 were regular troops, He also states that he has but 1,500, and that Alneaden is surrounded by hills within musket ragas, commanding the town ; but that he was deterlili‘leci to keep the town or fall in the attempt. Such having been the estimate of the enemy's forces made by the general, it is not likely he would act upon the offensive. M. Mendizabal has made his financial statement, in which he has declared that the publication made by Ardoin's house in Paris, respecting payment of the di vidends on the foreign debt by bonds 014 the customs of the Havannah, was made without his anthority, his intention being to pay by bonds on Abp Madrid Treasury. NORWAY, strroi or HIS MAJESTY THE NINO or SWEDEN AND NOR WAY ON THE OPENING 01' THE NORWEGIAN STORTHING, OCTOBER 20, 1536. " Gentlemen—After a deliberation of five months' dura tion the eighth ordinary Storthing was dissolved, in execu tion of section 80 of the Constitution. " In virtue of section 69, which confers on the King the right of assembling Storthings out of the ordinary course, and of section 70, which is the sequ©l thereof, au extraor dinary Storthing was convokod. " The laws which j shall cause to again submitted to your considerAio are of the higLost importance to the couotqcs, _ The flourisbe - „, g state of our finances w;. 1 ,1 enable you to adjust the expenditure without difficulty. The surplus of the, revenue is considerable, notwithstanding the reduction of one half of the land -tax, The exposition of the state of the kingdom will be again addressed to you. " Thelaws relative to communes and trades deserve to en gage your attention. The most scrupulous reflections, founded on local knowledge, must serve to guide you in the resolutions which you will submit for my sanction. " In accepting the Constitution of the 4th of November, 1814, I did not fail to perceive its imperfections, but I con sidered that the compact between the King and the Swedish people on the one hand, and the Kit kg of Norway and the Norwegian people on the other, gave a legal existence to the independence of the Norwegian nation. Governed until the data Af tide 'treaty of Kiel by ancient laws, whotelv 4)ntrity was relieved from every kind of eon tranl, tho new Government communicated to the nation a life which can only be preserved as long as her assemblies shall be profoundly sensible of the imperative necessity of obeying' the fundamental laws, and of not subjecting to arbitrary interpretation any of its paragraphs which were adopted with a sincere cordiality by the representatives of both States. " The Rigs-act, which guaranteed the constitutional re lations between the two countries, affords, as far as con cents Sweden, the most convincing proof of its observance. Hereditary animosity was buried in the silence of the tomb, and the prospect of a censtaat ftlendship has illumined the horizon of Scandinavia, 1 invoke Providence that this ho rizon, instead of becoming obscure, may always remain Serene, and b.e rendered still more bright by the rays of con ea.r.4 and fcateroal, love, I fondly persuade myself, gentle men, that your wishes concur with mine.

For a long time. past the King has availed himself of every opportunity to ind uce the Go vernment of Great Britain to change those measures; but though the negotiations for this purpose have hitherto keen fruitless, it is to be hoped that those efforts which motives of local interest oppose, will soon be crowned with a suc cess which will still further vivify our commerce." TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. l2.—Two of the Sultan's se cretaries, Sayd Bey and Tesick Bey, took their departure, on the 7th instant, for the Turkish head-quarters in Cour distan. They are the beareril of the autograph letters his Highness addressed to the Pacha of Bagdad and to Reshid MehemetPasha, on receiving intelligence of the decisive suc cess the Imperial arms lately won over the rebels in Asia Minor. They have been directed to invest these generals with the caftan, or mantle of honour, and present them with the decorations and magnificent gifts the sovereign be stows upon them in reward for the important services they have rendered to the state during this arduous campaign. Medals have also been sent to the troops under their coin- mand. I made mention in my last of a note presented by the Russian Dragoman to the Porte, demanding the immediate expulsion from Constantinople of a Circassian Prince, Seser Bey, an individual on whose head the Sultan had, by mak ing at an ill-timed moment of generosity, the present of a snuffbox, drawn the resentment of the Russian Minister. Mindless of the apology the Sultan offered in extenuation of so guilty an act, M. Boutenieff grew furious on observ ing that six days had been allowed to go by without his re quest being complied with. Unable to contain himself any longer, he presented himself before the Divan on Sunday last, and announced to the trembling Assembly, that un less Seser Bey were instantly sent into exile, he himself would leave the country. Not satisfied with the pro mise made that his wishes would be immediately acqui esced with, he declared that he would not return to his palace before he had seen with his own eyes the ob noxious individual on his way to the place of his deporw.,', on , Phillippopoli. No alternative remained for the Div an. Seser Bey was shortly after brought bound 1:;Ke a p:Lii prit before the Assembly, and after a short but irr:,pressi-e c speec h, in which Ahmet Pasha reproved him ;or havi.;ig during his stay at Constantinople abused the bospit7.litv of the Sul tan, compromised his Gover•„ment, by lending an ear to the perfidious advice of 7emglishrnekl, and encourag i ng hi s countrymen in per ;sting in their reb e lli on aga i nst t h e i r le gitimate Monar ch , t h e Emperor Nicholas ; the Prince was made over to two police-men, who were to accompany him to his destination. M. Boutenieff, after expressing to the Divan the high satisfaction which the firmness of their con duct on the present occasion had given him, returned in triumph to Bouyoukdere. I understand from one of the members of the Divan that M. Boutenieff expressed in the strongest terms his in dignation against the conduct of several. English adven turers witth regard to the Circassians, and on the observa tion being made that there existed grounds to believe that the English Government was not altogether a stranger to their secret man.zeuvres replied, that could the fact but well be ascerAained, the Emperor would at once declare war against Great Britain, and make her pay dear for-her folly and ir..solence. The day is not afar off when Circassia will give rise to a source of highly serious quarrel between England and Russia. Two English vessels insured at Lloyd's against all dangers in the Black Sea are now in the Bosphorus, on the eve of sailing for the coast of Circassia. The blockade of that country by Russia not having been recognised by the British Government. It is interesting to ascertain whether or not her squadron will dare confiscating these vessels. The French Ambassador sailed for France on the Bth instant. The number of victims of the plague last week exceeded 1,600. AMERICA. (From the New York Daily Advertiser, Oct. 8. ) " MONEY.—This has been a more important article than any other in the city ; the pinch that was commenced a week ago has been tighter and tighter. It is calculated that nearly 7,000,000 of instalments have been paid in this week ; this being the fact, the demand for money has been prodigious. One and a half and two per cent. a month have been paid very freely for the best notes ; besides this, there has been a great demand for specie for the West, and city banks have been calling on their neighbours, which has increased their demand. The order of the Secretary of the Treasury, requiring payments to be made for land ) , in specie, has caused a drain for the West, and has ce,otri buted to the general scarcity. Tight as money there have been no failures, which shows that money is to be had by paying for it. It is asserted, that the deposits in bank are unusually great. The pressure has no doubt been created by accidental castes, and it is believed that as these cease money will again become more plenty. " REM. ESTATE.—The pressure in the money-market has put a stop to extensive sales for the present ; there is however no fall ; the rise for the last year or two has been so great, that almost all the dealers have become rich, and are able to hold on without making a sacrifice. The few j sales that have been brought out exhibit no decline. " EXCHANGE—Domestic.—The pressure on the morar ) _ market has almost doubled the rates of Southern. and Westerns draughts, besides increased the difficulty tif ne gotiating. The dealers in bills and draughts are now reaping a rich harvest. Money commands, in. the shape of bills and draughts, a most profitable inv .fitment. The holders of this description of paper comr,elled to sell pay roundly. " EXCHA NGE—Foreign.—Yester(l.Lay was packet-day, and a very large amount was sold for p'aper and cash on England. Bills stood at 108 cash, and at :10 days, 110 a 111. On France about the same as i iast week. We have never known so such difference as there is now between cash and paper, which evinies the great scarcity of money. SPECIE.—There is a steady pull upon our banks from all parts of the country ; the amount required to take the place of the small bills of the various interior banks has been very great, besides which it is believed orders have been received from the Secretary of the Treasury to increase the amount in the deposit banks ; the consequence is there has been, and still is, a good demand. The new bank also that goes into operation, being a deposit bank, has to obtain a large amount, which must come from the others. Fortunately, exchange keeps down, so there is no call for export. " STocKs.—This has been a peculiar week in stocks. At the commencement the money-market became very tight, and low as stocks when they went down. Stocks that pay 6,7, and even 8 per cent., have all gone down. The fact is,.money in the streets commands 1i per cent. nn good security, and stocks consequently go down in proportion. The st , •eet is also loaded with a large portion of Southern stocks, a much larger amount than they can sustain—all that is held by work hands are consequently sacrificed. " SATURDAY, r.m.—Up yesterday—down again to-day. No sales of United States Bank, which is unusual. Dela ware, 86i- ; M:)rris, 92i ; State Bank, 107. " MONDAY, P.m.—The general appearance of the Stock Market is down. We observe United States Bank at 119 Delaware, 86 ; Triorris, 92i. For further prices we refer to our quotations, " TUESDAY, P. m.—We have another day of A —ep'.ession in sloe, s ; many of them are lower than weli6:,,e e , ,er known t].iem. The cause of this sudden fall is nq doubt owing to the large instalments that are called for, amounting to ever 5,000,000 dollars. The Oswego, A.:tantic, State of New York, Kentucky, and several oth ers , are to be paid up all about this time. This sudden pinch has screwed up the Money Market close, and it will no doubt continue so for some days to come. Stocks have consequently gone down. " WEDNESDAY, P.M.-Th Stock-market still continues going down lower and low, er : it is entirely owing to the scarcity of money, vyb i .jti is almost impossible to be obtained on stocks. For r t .;rices we refer to our quotations. The sales are larT e . State Bank advanced to 1071. " TIF:usDAY, P.m.—The tendency of the s tock - market to-day i s u p war d s ; t o - morrow , w h o can sa y how it will be be ? We observe sales of State Bank at 10Se; Bank shares 119 ; State Bank sold at 110, buyers 6 mo's, Dela ware 86. The southern banks are very low. Canal Bank of New Orleans at 91 ; Ohio Life and Trust 1121, lower than it has been since its charter ; American Trust, Bal timore, 99/. " FRIDAY,. P.lll.—All in the dumps again. The stock market is down lower than it has been for two years ; all descriptions of stocks have declined from 1 to 2 per cenf. Sales United States Bank at 118/ ; Delaware and Hud son 84/ ; Morris Canal 90 ; State Bank advanced to 108 ii-, firm. The sales are very large, upwards of 7,000 shares stock sold, worth probably 700,000 dollars. The money, within a few days, become very tight. (From the same Paper of the 10th.) SATURDAY, P.m.—Stocks are without much change, but firm at the prices at which sales were made. Sales of State Bank, 1084 ; United States Bank, 118 i ; Delaware, 88 ; Morris, 90. (From the Texas Telegraph, Aug. 0 3.) a ATTEMPTED RESCUE OF SANTA ANNA. On the 16th the schoone r P assa i c , Hughes master, of about 40 tons, arrived at Marion (Columbia Landing), from New Orleans. Ilaketnation had been received from New Orleans *Ai iihe was leaving for Texas under suspicious ciroamianees. Immediately on her arrival, Pages pro ceeded up the ; r .ver in a boat, had an interview with one of the prisoners% antl soba.equeutly delivered a bottle, sealed with Von w,, oi what he called bitters, but which on e " 11411 . 1i30,4 wai found to contain opium in a c onsiderable 4," 4 nOtY , This deleterious liquor was to be administered. to, the captain and guard }laced over Santa Anna anf,\ the other prisoners, and then, during the heavy anck In, , obably intended eternal sleep of the former, the owe. of the latter was to be effected. Suspicions being thus excited& inquiries were instituted, and a principal agmk in the discovery, made his appearance in the pat of who came forward to give notice of the plot, and to produce in confirmation of his evidence, a document in Spanish, written and sired by Don Fran cisco Pizarro Martinez, Mexican Consul at New Orleans, to the follo.ving purport That inasmuch as it is well known to him (the Consul) that Don Bartolomeo Pages, a native of Catalonia, is charged with a secret mission fur the fulfilment of which it is indispensably necessary that he should freely enter and leave the ports of Texas, therefore the commanders of Mexican vessels of war or rAvateers, to whom he (12:1, ,, 1 , 5) may exhibit the document, ern questetl and supplicated not to throw impediments or üb. stacles in the way of his voyage to Brazorio, in the •Autari• can schooner Paagnic, but to listen to what he may 114Y0 to state respecting the affairs of Texas, and to aid ; protect, and assist him, because the service of the W.tion so re quires it." - Upon this evidence, joined to the 'suspicious circum stances before mentioned, W. 1 - 1, l'Atton, Captain of the guard of Santa Anna, procef:ded to take measures for securing the parties in Os transaction, and accordingly came to the l an di ng on t h e 16th, where he seized in 0,01 name of the Republic of Texas the vessel, placed tbP crow and other individuals under arrest, searched their persons, without however finding any papers of imporv.,nce, and, finally, he confined the principal agent in, th. e plot, Don Bartolomeo Pages, and one of the crew, tive Spaniard ; both of them were put in irons, in wl' it ,t i : st ill sduation t h ey stin remin.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE. A young lady, whose name, we are informed. (for it was not announced in the bills), is Harrison, made her first appearance last night in the character of Juliet, and met with a favourable reception. On her first entrance, she seemed almost to sink under her apprehensions ; but the kindness with which she was welcomed soon reassured her, and restored her self-possession. Her aspect and deport ment were calculated to make a very advantageous impres sion. Her figure is rather slight, but well proportioned ; her features are small, and their power is diminished by the lightness of her eyes and hair ; but they are handsome, animated, and capable of considerable variety of expres sion. Her action is not 'drily easy and unconstrained, but its gracefulness was sor.tetimes so remarkable as to produce loud applause. She had an excellent conception of the part, and played it with mach feeling. In the balcony scene she expressed very beautifully the glowing enthusiasm. and entire devotedness of Juliet's love ; and the scer,e where her eagerness to learn the result of the Nun se's errand to her lover is . thwarted by the old woman's, folly and petulance, was also admirable. In the tragical scenes she w as l ess happy. They contained many traits energy, and some fine bursts of passion ; but their effe ct was in jured, by an over-declamatory elocution and r.n incorrect pronunciation —a defect which is less perceritible in her level dialogue than when she recites poetier:t and impas sioned language. Her voice, which in its r,raMary tones is sweet and melodious, was sometimes rend be ing overstrained, an d sometimes so .ered harsh by ,uch subdued as to make her words indistinguishable. rhese, however, and the other faults of her performar, ce, may reasonably be ascribed to inexperience ; and o Li the whole she may be considered an actress of great r.romise. At the fall of the curtain she was called forth .41 .- al warmly cheered, and the more warmly as she seemed, almost exhausted by her emo tions. The tragedy was - succeeded by La Bayadcre, in which Mademoiselle D uvernay appeared for the first time this season. This very charming artiste preserves all the grace, elegance, and, agreeable manner, which rendered her so great a favour 7 :r e on her former engagement at this thea tre. The with its sparkling spirited music, was got up much as efor e. and was received with much applause. The lion was well attended from the beginning of the night, and. became particularly s,o after the second pricO. ' COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The Exile, a melodramatic travestie of Madame Cottin's interesting story, was last night revived, with just as much success as a vapid piece, some good acting, respectable scenery, and a precession, terminated by a triumphal car, drawn by three milk-white steeds, deserved. Mr. Van denhoff, as Da - , :a n, on the whole, played this extravagant character we'd. It affords many temptations for ranting, and we are not surprised that Mr. Vandenhoff occasionally fell into 4 :he snare. Count Ulric was represented by Mr. G. Bennett with cold propriety, as became the climate in whi4, the scene is laid. The Governor, by far the best ac'i:ed part in the piece, was rendered exceedingly amusing Mr. Farren. He was a Siberian crab of no ordinary 'tartness. Miss Vincent, if we leave out of the account some small degree of affectation, deserves some praise for the manner in which she played the character of the lae roine, Alexina, before us. Her principal scenes were by no means deficient in sense or feeling. The other enarac ters were respectably supported. The procession preced ing the coronation, and the coronation itself, which have been gut up with a consicttrable degree of splendour, gave much satisfaction. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCTA, CAMBRIDGE, NOV. 4.—Yesterday the Rev. DA% Ainslie. Master of Pembroke College, and the Rev.

Election of Councillors to take the place* of those that go out :—This town and neighbourhood have been, for the last week, in a state of excitement not much inferior to last years' elections for the municipal appointments, there being twelve candidates in nomination to fill up the six vacancies of Councillors —namely, three in the Upper, and three in the Lower Ward. The polling commenced at nine in the Lower Ward, the Mayor presiding, and, in the Upper, Mansell Phillips, Esq., presided. It continued with great spirit until four o'clock, when the books were closed, and the result was that the following gentlemen were duly elected : UPPER WARD. LOWER WARD.

Aubrey, coal-merchant 123 I am glad to say that the result, as far as regards the Liberal cause, has been most favourable, two only out of the six being considered Tories ; and, as the constituency are three-fourths Reformers, it has given great satisfaction. The greatest credit is due to the upright and impartial conduct of the Mayor, and Mr. Phillips, having conducted the pro ceedings of the day to the satisfaction of all parties. Advices from Para state that provisions continued scarce, in consequence of the Isle of Mango still remain ing in the bands of the insurgents, which compelled the people of Para to procure their necessaries from Marignan. The French brig of war Cassard, Captain Letourneur, had been forced to go to Cayenne for supplies, but would again. take up her station at Para.

NEWFOUNDLAND, OCT. 11.--A letter of this date mentions that several icebergs had lately passed in sirsht of that place to the southward, adding that it was an occur rence very unusual at this season of the year.
