By the Great Western steam-ship, w hi c h „ rived at Liverpool on Saturday, we have the important intelligence that Mr. POLK, the democratic candidate for the Presidential chair of the United States, was secured of his election, by the defeat of Mr. CLAY, Ms Whig competitor for that honour. It may be THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY ETENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1844. justly assumed that this unexpected termination of a great contest, the victorious issue of which, even in the several States of the Union, was so unhesitatingly anticipated in favour of Mr. CLAY, down to a period almost immediately preceding the dates to which the last Iclvices reach from New York, is a result as little wel come as it could be expected on this side of the Channel. Few elections to the office of Chief Magistrate of the American Union have occurred, ever since her confe deration was established, that have been associated with relations calculated to prove of more profound interest to Great Britain, than that which may now be looked upon ts terminated. The results which are, in this view, presented to our consideration, in the present in ntance, may be briefly combined. That numerous and powerful party in the population of the United States which is " the child and the champion" of an unqualified democracy in civil government and its institutions, and the rallying point for all hostility :o this country, under whatever manifestations or zetexts, has, in this election, clearly triumphed over their more moderate and practical antagonists. These latter, advocating, equally, popular rights and the popular control of their own Government, carefully respect the guarantees of treaties which they have ntered into with other Powers, and will presume in favour of the good faith . of these Powers until overt acts to the contrary towards themselves justify their suspicions and mistrust of others. The Loco-foco" interest which returns Mr. POLK, is, beyond all doubt,.that which embodies the repre- sentatives of slave property, and vindicates the prin ciple of slavery, on behalf of the southern States of the Union against the northern. It is that powerful faction which, identifying the renown, and influence, and moral authority, of Great Britain among the nations, with her bold, consistent, and disinterested adhesion to the self-imposed principle of slavery abolition ; devotes itself to her denunciation in time of peace, and to the provoking against her a speedy war of reckless jealousy and unprincipled revenge. It is that vast section of American citizens who, animated by these impulses, and heated by the prospects of local triumph in securing to the States of the west and the south that preponderance in the coun- ells of the Union which has hitherto remained with those of the north, urge on the annexation of Texas to the general federal territory, by all or any means, however contrary to national good faith, to a sound Republican policy, to an expedient foreign policy, to the paramount authority of Mexico, or to the wishes of the great bulk of their countrymen throughout the Union. It is that unprincipled but vast cabal which would precipitate the occupation ,f the Oregon, or the violation of the Canadian fron tier, to carry out its own primary objects of aggran using the slave property and the legislative votes of the States of the south, and insulting the dignity and crippling the general power of Great Britain. We may add, too, that it is the motley " class inte rest" of the Union which is for a tariff of absurdly high protective duties for the assumed encourage ment, but the practical ruin, of the trade of America, through the most impolitic discouragement, in the meanwhile, of her best customers, those foreign coun tries against whom that tariff is directed. We do not, therefore, blind ourselves to the nature or the extent of the results which may be predicated as consequent on Mr. Por.x's election to the chair of the President. But we cannot participate in all the gloomy apprehensions which the fact of that election seems to have infused into the minds of some of our Contempraries. We imagine that many of the evils whose probable occurrence it is not easy to dispute, on any argument of analogy drawn from the present aspect of circumstances, have yet a practical tendency to dissipate themselves without eventuating, BO to speak. It is an important truth, and to be noted i❑ the first place, that whatever amount of influence, and whether more or loss direct, the opinions and views and wishes of the party to whom he owes his elevation, may be expected to exercise over the career of the new PRESIDENT ; there is but a limited capacity for my independent political action in the Constitutional scheme of his official functions. llis powers are rather restrictive and negative than original and transmissive. The recent example of the dead moves of that most check-mated of PRESIDENTS, the re loubtable Mr. TYLER, may serve to show how little the known personal prepossessions of the ostensible head of the Government necessarily influence the de terminations of the great National Council. But, again, the very force on whose shoulders Mr. PoLK is borne to the chair is already split into a league of many and almost antagonistic movements. The men of the south combine with the men of the north and the west in a feverish desire, probably, for a rupture with Great Britain. But the Borth is opposed to the south on the question of the Texas annexation, from a con viction of the disturbance of that superior authority they now wield in Congress, which such an event would occasion ; and if the Loco-focoism of the north were content to abandon its anti-slavery views in favour of a combination with that of the south against Great Britain, there are other questions besides the Oregon occupation to sow incurable jealousies between their various members, should such a compact 1, , ,! ever acted on. The preponderance of the \\lig party influence, at least in the Senate, will for some time, at any rate, maintain the foreign political relations of the States in their present course. This seems to be the opinion of some of the American journals, even, which are favourable to the cause of l'or.K. And although the New York herald is con ,g-ratulating its readers on that gentleman's election, in the teeth of all its recent enthusiasm for CLAY, assures them that the prospects of the United States are brightening every day, we must say we perceive many symptoms in their social aspect, their in ternal economy, and the condition of her (-oasts, marine, &c., which hardly warrant :hese congratulations in reference to the mischievous and hostile purposes to which they are addressed. Up3n the whole of this intelligence, though we regret, in our respect for and confidence in Mr. CLAY, hat his discomfiture seems partly attributable to a Effie want of singleness of purpose and decision in recent public declarations that have been made by him, touching leading questions of American and European interest; we are yet prepared to believe that the salutary influence of his talents, his integrity, and his party, may still predominate over, and regulate, the action of the United States Government, under its new President.. The grand " Repeal Demonstration," to celebrate the liberation of Mr. O'CoNNELL and the gentlemen who were his fellow-prisoners and traversers, took p!ace in the city of Limerick, on Wednesday evening list. It consisted in one of those " monster gather ings" of the Irish people, which aro really among the most remarkable phenomena that our times or country can exhibit—in a most extensive and iin phsing procession ; and in a sumptuous banquet of honour, given to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman and his friends, in the Theatre. We trust that this "demonstration" will not be without its salutary in: iiaence on the counsels of her Majesty's Government, in calling their immediate attention to the danger of delaying " justice to Ireland." Mr. O ' CONNELL was everywhere greeted, from his arrival in Newcastle, in Limerick county, to his reception at the banquet, with the most enthusiastic welcome ; and his addresses to the people in acknowledgement of the honours thus paid to him, were distinguished by their animated freshness. For these, and other parti culars, we must refer the reader to the detailed report which we gave on Saturday. 'We intend, at pre e'nt, to recur to the " Liberator's" speech at the banquet, inasmuch as it raises the question of the soundness of Mr. O'CoNNELL's views on certain points connected with the great question of repeal, from which views we have heretofore had the mii- I)rtune to differ essentially. As sincere and con sistent advocates of the just and indefeasible claims of the Irish nation upon the Legislature, and the rople of this country, for the removal of numerous civil and political grievances, we have thought it in cumbent upon us distinctly to propound the grounds of such difference. If this was a task not unaccompanied with difficulty, in consideration of the eloquence and Went of the various speeches to which our remarks were, in such instances, addressed, that difficulty is now much enhanced by reason 'of the ability and force which pervaded the Hon. and Learned Gentle man's remarkable speech of Wednesday, on returning thanks for the sympathy and acclamations with which the toast of the evening, his health, had been received by the 750 gentlemen who were assembled at the banquet. Mr. O'CoziNBLL distinctly nails his colours to the mast. The one great cause he fights for he avows to be the repeal of the union. He declares that he will accept nothing less; that there must be an inde- pendent national Parliament for Ireland in Dublin ; that there shall be no such thing as the centralization of legislation, so far as Ireland is concerned ; that as for the wrongs, even, of which she has so long com plained, and the grievances the redress of which she has so vainly solicited from the Imperial Parliament, any compromise with her, founded on the satisfaction of the one and the removal of the other, which might now be proposed, would not be accepted by the Irish people. "We will," said he, " make John Bull understand us ; and even if he should then offer to remedy them in the Imperial Parliament, we will tell him ' you spoke too late. We have come to the understanding that we shall do it ourselves.'" And again, in a preceding speech, delivered from CRUMB'S Hotel, "Well, there had been no surrender, no compromise.—(Cheers.) Some blockheads said that he wanted less than their rights. It was the ether way, for those repealers were calling for twenty shillings, but he asked that, and ten shillings more. —(Laughter.) That was by the way of tilly.— (Laughter.)" It is very Natural that Mr. O ' CONNELL should feel an absorbing, uncompromising, solicitude about the result of a grand scheme of national agitation to which he has bent all the extraordinary energies of his powerful organization, physical as well as mental, with a degree of ardour and devotion—rarely, if ever, exhibited by the youngest of political leaders. But we cannot help thinking that his enthusiasm tempts him sometimes into indis cretions, the inevitable tendency of which is to defeat his own object. In the first place, he miscalculates, in our judgment, the influence of public opinion in Great Britain (which is not unlikely to suppose it- self interested, as the more important integer of the empire), on the question of repealing the union; by altogether overlooking the disinclination of the majo rity to consent to the dismemberment of Ireland. Mr. O'Cormzu.'s own complaint is—and he puts it in his Limerick speech with some degree of bitterness--that the people of England cannot be made to see the justice of his demand. He proposes "to make John Bull see it." This purpose can be achieved in one only of two ways; and we have much too high an opinion of Mr. O'CoNaßnes sagacity and tact to doubt, for an instant, which course he has selected. But does he—we would put it to his own candour— follow out that course of conciliation by this indiffer ence to the opinions or the wishes of "John Bull ?" We are sorry, too, to find Mr. O'CONNELL throwing to the winds, beforehand, all or any adjustments of Irish grievances which " the Imperial Parliament" may " offer to remedy." We would repeat the ad vice we have before pressed upon the Hon. and Learned Gentleman—to await that closely-approxi mating day, at which those in authority who have given strong manifestations of their individual adhe sion to liberal principles of government will feel themselves strong enough to carry out those measures they have long contemplated for the amelioration of Ireland, by fair and frank concessions of remedial justice and equity to that country. It seems at least questionable in point of judgment and policy to put in jeopardy, by ill-considered taunts, the fruition of events of which the tendency, in our notion at any rate, is—rapidly to determine in elevating Ireland to her due rank, and the full enjoyment of all its ad vantages, as a member of the Imperial Union. We may be forgiven if our profound interest in that beneficent consummation prompts us to submit the apprehensions we thus express to the calm con sideration of Mr. O'CONNELL. It would be a de plorable termination to a career of such matchless zeal and activity in reclaiming, one after another, rights and franchises so long denied to, or so long lost by, his native country—to see her onward march arrested and turned by the force of fears, or pre judices, otr ill-will (no matter which), needlessly ex cited, or rashly challenged. The Liberator must be satisfied that he has given to the agitation of her just cause—her demand for full equality of rights and careful redress of injuries and wrongs—a momentum which no power can now stop short of its destined and legitimate end, save that which imparted to it the impress and force of its wonderful movement— hi.s own— At parting with this speech, to the general ability and effectiveness of which we must again bear testi mony, we must own to the feeling of surprise and re gret with which we read the following passages. That feeling has no reference to the charge against English journals, for newspapers are, by the doom of their original institution, fair marks for the shafts of all the world—their friends and their foes, their readers and their defamers. But we cannot suppose that a little more reflection would not have suggested to Mr. O'ComsTELL's mind the many noble manifes tations which the last thirty years—and of that period, the latter term more especially—have elicited, on the part of the people of England, of an active, generous, and disinterested sympathy for the political wrongs of Ireland, and the domestic misery and pri vations of large communities of the Irish people. Whether or not they want the readiness which the Hon. thud Learned Gentleman attributes to his own countrymen in arriving at conclusions, we shall not stop to inquire, but they have betrayed no sluggish ness, no insensibility, we apprehend, in responding to the appeals of Irish social suffering to the best feelings of our common nature. There is nothing graceful or felicitou.s, surely, in these allusions to them : " I have much thought upon the impenetrability of truth into England, and I solemnly declare that it ap pears to inc as if a kind of adamantine wall surrounded that courary, making it impervious to every approach of truth. It may arrive on the four wings of heaven, and with the force of electricity to every human being else where ; Lout the fact is most astounding, that it never can penetrate into England.—(llear, hear.)" And again : " It might be said that the use of the English press SVA3 to keep up the ignorance of the people. It sup ported the delusion under which John Bull is labouring, and told hizn that the Irish people had no grievances to coreplain orf ; but I am determined to give an opportu nity to every man, woman, and child in Great Britain to understand the contrary. To be sure I cannot answer for the capacity of their genius, for they have but little of the shrewdness which enables Paddy to arrive so rapidly at facts." For his own sake, very much—for the sake of Ire land, much more—we trust that the lion. and Learned Gentleman will abstain from this random, but not ia - noxious skirmishing. His own eloquence wants no such aids—his country's cause is but da maged by them. We never despaired of the Protestant people of ENgland when the doctrines of the Puseyites should be fairly brought under their notice. Englishmen, fortunately, are not hasty in their decisions—they take time to consider, and no people, perhaps, after mature deliberation, ever come to a more upright and conscientious judgment. They have now had at least three years to form an opinion on this new Popery scheme, and laymen of all ranks—men, indeed, of every grade in society, excepting those who wear the shovel-hat and the surplice—are unanimous in condemning PUSHY and NEWMAN. This is a noble tribute to the blessings of the Reformation. Parishes in every direction are rising up against their Popish rectors, vicars, and curates ; they will have no Roman Catholic ceremonies, however harmless and innocent ; they justly regard them as the forerunners of slavery and the re-establishment of a religion to which the whole constitution of the country, in Church as well as State, is directly opposed. It is a reproach to Protestants to say that this feeling has been created by the wild schemes of certain bishops to force upon them a weekly collection for the poor. Their objec tions are of a much higher and more sacred character. The Church of England is purely Protestant. It has, till within the last four years, shunned the Court of Rome as the " mystery of iniquity ;" it has denounced evtiry concession to Catholics ; it has grudged the paltry pittance to Maynooth ; it strug gled to the last against Catholic emancipation ; it up held, in every instance, the great and glorious prin ciples of the Reformation; and the people naturally believed that a e Church would adhere to principles which it had averred as the very essence of its exist ence. A new race, however, sprung up in the University of Oxford. They were regarded at first as mere drivellers, as contemptible as the Mormonites, or the followers. of JOANNA SOUTIICOM, till they were taken under the especial care of the Episcopal Bench; The people - rebelled against the missionaries sent forth by firis new sect, appealed for protection to the bishop of the diocese, but in many instances the replies to these appeals were jesuitical, and in others— we refer to the Mishops of LONDON and EXETER par ticularly—the Protestants of the Established Church I were insulted and branded 83 disturbers of the Ca- 1 tholic Church. Everything the Puseyites did was , right—they adhered faithfully to the rubrics, and every ceremony offensive to Protestants was sanc tioned by these fathers of the Church. Even the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, from whom they expected some relief, dismissed them with an evasive answer; and all men saw that there was a general combination in the body of the Church against the Protestant religion. The Primate of all England is generally regarded as a person of a meek and Christian disposi tion—he is so quiet and imperturbable, that no man imagines he can sanction any measures contrary to his sacred oaths. Yet, notwithstanding several appeals, he has allowed the heresy to go on increasing, without taking one step to obstruct it, and has per mitted members of the University of Oxford—men paid by the Protestant establishment—to denounce the Reformation as a great crime, and to advocate all the most obnoxious doctrines of a religion which he professes to abhor. These meek church men are the most dangerous characters in a com munity. While they pretend to be passive, they are secretly encouraging egregious encroachments on religion and liberty, and always find tools to carry their baneful purposes into effect. To the Arch bishop of CANTERBURY, with all his meekness, we attribute the entire blame of this lamentable divi sion in the Protestant Church. Of what use are archbishops and bishops, if not to keep their clergy in order ? Yet the Church is divided against itself, and these superintendents, whenever they interfere, only add fuel to the flame. The only safeguard of Protestantism rests with the people themselves. The Church is bent on a march to Rome. The Puritans who opposed LAUD, justly sacrificed on the scaffold, have been scoffed at by all churchmen, but they manfully opposed the encroachment of the clergy, and to them the people of this country owe the giarious consti tution which they now enjoy. They denounced such men as PUSSY, and BLOMFIRLD, and PIIILLPOTTS, an►l Howm, and it remains for the laity of England to imitate their example, and resist all perjured churchmen who receive pay as Protestants, yet are doing everything in their power to undermine the Establishment, and bring the people back to the most nsufferable state of slavery. Intelligence from Lisbon to the 20th inst. has been received, but it is not important. The state of the revenue is every day becoming worse, and in order to meet pressing wants: the Cortes were engaged in discussing measures for increasing the taxes five per cent. Some of these taxes it is said will affect Eng lish manufactures. In the Chamber of Peers Count AVRADIO called the attention of the Government to the miserable state in which the widows and orphans of the officers who died in the service of Don PADA() were left by the Government, their pensions being then twenty-two months in arrear ; but the Minister of Finance said that he lamented exceedingly that he had no money at his disposal to pay these and many other pensions. We have received Madrid journals of the 17th inst. The Gazette of that date publishes two royal decrees, by which ZUUBANO is stripped of his rank and honours for high treason, and he and his followers, on being captured, are to be immediately led to execu tion. At the meeting of the Chamber on the IGth, a Deputy put some questions to NARVABZ, respecting the revolt, who replied, " That the Chamber might rest assured that the Government was determined to maintain order and tranquillity at any price. Gene ral ZURBANO, being suspected of disaffection, had, he said, been ordered to quit Navarre and repair to San tander. lie had given the authorities every assurance that he would lead a retired life, and obey the laws. The Government saw in him a General whom the country had loaded with favours and wealth, and did not question his loyalty. If they had called to mind his birth, education, and past life, they might have predicted what had now occurred.—(Applause.) The Government is of opinion that, perhaps, it has been ordained from Heaven that a salutary example shall be given to the people, and that the faithful Spanish army shall not suffer the disgrace of seeing their uniform borne by a rebel. It is true that the rebel ZUIDANO has proclaimed a man more contemptible than himself, but he had not found a single soldier to follow him, and he commands but 70 robbers. Thera exists no danger of the public tranquillity being disturbed." The following proclamation had been issued by that sanguinary and ruthless chieftain, and it will be fortunate for humanity if his attempt at insurrection is thoroughly crushed. It is dated Najera, Nov. 13 : "ARMY Falt THE RESTORATION OF LIBERTY. " Whilst the rulers of every constitutional country in Europe are the guardians of liberty, we behold Spain oppressed, in the name of royal authority, by a perfidious and mongrel band, who, in violation of the laws and the sacred code, overstep all the bounds o f th e i r p ower , labour only to promote injustice and venality, persecute ' with fury the generous Liberal party, and stop at no in famy, imposture, or calumny, to attain their end. " The moment you receive the p resent proc l amat i on you will communicate it, under penalty o f d ea th, t o a ll vovearundment that may the that the authorities of the district, in or d er t h at a ll t h e authorities ofu i functions, t r u s ie Government adminis trative authorities, relinq both elective and j u di c i ary , w h o pre viously exercised their functions in con f orm i ty w i t h t h e relinquish their i 60th article of the Constitution, and b e f ore th e promul gation or the infamous municipality law, shall be forth with reinstalled. " Whoever shall disobey this order shall be fined 1,000 douros (200 Z), to be applied to the expenses of the war ; and any officer of the intrusive Government at tempting to resist, shall be shot as asenemy of the in stitutions which the nation had conquered at the price of so much blood and so many s acr ifi ces . Th e same penalties shall also be incurred by those who should col lect for the Government taxes not voted by the Cortes. " MARTIN ZURBANO." Great interest continued to prevail in Madrid re :Tooting the fate of Pan&, and the decision of the Supreme Military Tribunal was looked for with much anxiety. On the 15th Mr. BULIYHR gave a grand entertainment to the French Ambassador and most of the Foreign Ministers. The Duke DE R lAN z A ups, Queen CHRISTINA'S husband, better known as Munoz, formed one of the party. On the 16th the Three per Cents. were done at 27i for cash, and 271 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 20i at 60 days ; the Coupons at 25i for cash ; the Floating Debt at 64+ on the Ist of December; and the Pro visional Debt, 5i at 58 days. Most of the Paris papers have accounts of the at tempt made by ZURBANO to excite insurrection in the north of Spain, and they generally agree that he has failed and been deserted by the few adherents who had joined him. 'She Journal des Debals says, "W e learn by extraordinary express that ZURBANO and his troop have been attacked and dispersed between Burgos and Vittoria by General JAUREGUY, well known in the civil wars of Spain by the name of EL PASTOR. ZURBANO, with a few of his men, seeks, it would appear, a refuge in the mountains of Navarre, where the Captain-General of that province is already in pursuit of him." According to the Presse, all the persons who followed him into the mountains of Soria deserted him in twenty-four hours, disheartened by being isolated and repulsed by the whole province on which they had chiefly re lied, and in which they had made their first coup de main. ZunnAxo has only five or six horsemen left with him. They are said to be his sons and other relations, and with whom he is endeavouring to pass the Ebro by its fords in the environs of Fuen Mayor, flying before the QUEEN'S troops, who, aided by the inhabitants of the country, are hunting him in every direction. The Globe gives nearly the same account, and the National admits that the insurgent band had split into small parties, for the purpose of dividing and distracting their pursuers. The Messager gives the following intelligence from Otaheite :—" We have letters from Valparaiso, under the date of tne 18th August. A French ship, which left Otaheite in the beginning of July, brings news of our establishment. Governor Bituar, in formed that a certain number of natives of the south of the island had risen, thought it right to march against them. He attacked them at Rapape on the 30th of June, and completely beat and dispersed them. The Queen POMARE has left Papeiti and embarked in the English frigate Fishguard for the island of I3olabola." This intelligence affords ground to the Opposition for attacking M. GUIZOT, who, they say, kept back the intelligence till it could be no longer concealed, nearly the same account having a ppeared in some English journals. M. TnlEas and his party have apparently arranged their tactics for the next session, and from the subjoined article in his journal it will be seen that the affairs of Otaheite, the right of search, and the evacuation of Magadore are to oe the war-cries of the party : " The following piece of news is given us as certain. We have it from excellent authority, and yet we cannot credit it. It is confidently affirmed, is positive, is true, and yet it is impossible. We are told that M. Guizot, up to the present time, has not obtained from Lord Aberdeen the abolition of the right of search. He has pressed and supplicated, but a firm inflexibility has been shown him—the right of search will be maintained. We declare that the thing is most unlikely. How is it pos sible that M.Guizot, who had so confidently spoken before the Chambers of arriving at the desired result; who has paid England the price of it two or three times over ; who went to Windsor to celebrate the entente cordiale, has not at least wrested this concession from a Govern ment with whom he pretends to be on such intimate friendship? It is inadmissible, incredible, and yet so it is. However, we are not yet at the 26th of December—a a month separates us from the speech from the Throne, It is to be supposed that before that period, M. Guisot. who has made so many sacrifices of honour, who has dis avowed our officers and all their brave seamen of Otaheite, the blood of whom has b, en shed in pure loss —who has put France under the feet of Mr. Pritchard — who has evacuated Mogadore—.., ho has had it declared that France was rich enough to pay for her glory in order to spare Abderrhaman the expenses of the war —who, in fine, has made so many positive concessions to Sir It Peel, it is to be supposed, we say, that M. Guizot will finish by obtaining this modification, altogether of form, in the treaties of 1831 and 1833. We therefore persist, notwithstanding the positive assurances that have been given us, in asserting that the speech from the Throne will announce the complete abolition of the treaties of the right of search." Marshal BIIGEAUD had arrived at Marseilles, where he was received with great enthusiasm, and a grand banquet was given to him in the theatre. On his health being given, he made the following• brief speech, which, however, contains a great deal : " The conquest of Algeria is complete. There is peace everywhere—from the frontiers of Tunis to those of Mo rocco all the tribes are in a state of submission, with the exception of a few of the Kabyle tribes of the provinces of Bugia and Gigelli. The most perfect security reigns on all points. An immense progress has been made. The revenues of the colony, which, in 1840, were only tour millions, arc now twenty millions ; the European population, which, in 1840, amounted to only 25,000, now amounts to 75,000. It was thought, even a short time ago, that the territory open to relations with us extended only to the Tell—that is to say, in a zone of forty-five leagues' breadth only. This is an error. We have now certain knowledge that the Arab population extends to a breadth of 200 leagues, with 250 leagues in length, a surface as large as that of France. The Arab popula tion amounts to five millions, perhaps six. Here is an immense future, which, perhaps, considering my age, I ant not destined to see ; but as long as any strength shall remain to me, as long as a drop of blood shall flow in my veins, I will devote them to the service of my country. I repeat that peace reigns throughout Algeria. Our enemy, driven from our territory, has taken refuge in Morocco, and I have just received information which I regard as nearly positive, although I have not yet any official certainty, that Abd-el-Bader has dismissed the small force which remained with him, and plunged into the interior of the empire." EXTENSIVE BANK ROBBERY. We regret to learn that, early this morning, a most extensive robbery was discovered to have been committed on the highly respectable banking house of Messrs. Rogers, Towgood, and Co., of Clement's-lane, Lombard-street. It is sup posed the burglars must have entered by means of skeleton or false keys. During yesterday some of the swell-mob were observed prowling about Lombard-street, in the vicinity of Clement's-lane, but as yet there is no clue as to the direction they have taken. About 40,0001. in notes, and we believe a thousand pounds in gold, have been carried off. It will be seen by an announcement in another part of our paper that the numbers of tha notes are given, and of course stopped at the Bank of England. SUICIDE OF A DESPERATE CHARACTER IN A STA TION-HOUSE.—Yesterday morning a most determined act of suicide was committed in ono of the cells of the station-house of the B division of police in the New-way, Westminster, by one of the moat degraded characters, Sarah Colley, living in the purlieus of the Almonry, a locality most notorious. It appears that, at half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday night, she and another woman were creating a great disturbance near the Nag's Head, in Tothill-street, and Colley was at last given into charge, and taken to the station-house, where she was placed in a separate cell. She was visited every quarter of an hour by the man on duty, up to twelve o'clock. A very few minutes after an odd " bumping noise," was heard against the cell, and on the policeman going in he found her suspended by her apron to the door. She was immediately released, and it seemed that having tied tightly one end round her neck, she had then got upon a bench and fastened the other to a small bar across a sort of ventilator ; she had then leaped from the form, and being a heavy woman this was no doubt the cause of the noise. Although she could have been hanging but a very short time, scarcely a minute or two, and was in stantly conveyed to the Westminster Hospital, it was found she was quite dead on her arrival there. This woman has, in her time, been one of the most notorious in the locality in which she resided, it is said, for the last quarter of a century—desperate in her encounters with all who opposed her, and a pest wherever she went. SUICIDE AT THE RESIDENCE OF LADY GEORGIANA FANS.—On Saturday night Mr. Higgs held an inquest at the Malpas Arms, Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, on the body of Joseph Keinch, aged forty, a servant out of place. John Wigmore, helper to Lady G. Fane's coachman, said that on Saturday morning, at seven o'clock, he opened the door of the stable at the back of her Ladyship's mansion in Upper Grosvenor-square, when, though it was hardly light, he saw something black in the water tub. Upon approaching it he found the deceased with his head and shoulders in the water, and his legs hanging over the side of the tub. Deceased was then quite dead, and had evidently been so for some time. The door leading to the back yard where the de ceased was found was sometimes left open all night, and it was without doubt by that means that he got to the tub. The tub was only about two feet in height, and had deceased fallen in by accident, he could with ease have got out again. James Field said the deceased lived at No. 8, Shepherd's-court, and had been out of a situation for the last four months, with the exception of three weeks. On Wednesday ast deceased had a severe fit, from which lie was with difficulty restored. The next day, though better, he was by turns rational and deli rious ; and as witness feared from his manner that he would lay violent hands upon himself, he advised his son, a youth, to watch him closely. On Friday deceased went out, followed by his son, and went to Oxford street, where lie walked so fast, and, as the boy said, " dodged about so." that he lost him. Nothing more was heard of him, until his body was found at the rear of Lady Fane's house. Undoubtedly,. for the last two or three days of his life, he was of unsound mind. Ver dict—" Temporary insanity." STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADE 3.— The condition of the wrought cotton hose branch is by no means mended, the hands being in general either stinted or obliged to wait long intervals for materials. Tho cut-up hose hands, notwithstanding the extreme cheapness of the articles produced, are not in a better condition in regard to employment, but in respect of comfort and excessive labour, there is no comparison between them, as the cat-up hands working in wide frames are very hard-worked. The silk glove branch has had a few sprinklings of orders, which excite a little hope. The silk hose branches, both plain and knotted, are lingering on, !though declining ; this re mark is equally applicable to the Nottingham, Derby, and Mansfield trade; an important improvement to the workman has been latterly introduced, which is the silk drawn from the bobbin by an apparatus, instead of being pulled off by the weight of the jacks, enabling the workman to gain his line of thread safer and better, and avoiding the evil of slur-galls or slack places across the stocking. The drawer and pantaloon trade is worse than ever, and the masters with great difficulty obtain material, even after long attendance upon the warehouses ; this causes so much despondence amongst them, that many are contemplating to turn their attention to other means of obtaining a livelihood. The bobbin. net trade is much depressed in almost every description of goods. From the multiplicity of articles now produced, it is almost impossible to speak in gene ral terms which shall hold correctly for all the trade. In France, we understand, it is worse than in England. The silk warp lace trade, except the jacquard and fancy gloves, is in a miserable state ; this is attributed to the large importations of French point net lace. The lap and press warp branch is said by part of the bands to be much depressed, whilst others insist that there is a demand for all that is made. It is gratifying to state, amidst so much gloom, that the cotton warp tatting trade feels very little of this depression. These articles are preferred to bobbin-net in both the Eastern and South American markets, the ornament being made of a stout thread, is bolder and more striking, whilst the net being made of fine single cotton, appears much thinner to the eye- Considerable quantities pass by transit through Egypt to the East, down the Red Sea.—Nottingham Review. PunLic WHIPPING.—Aaron Walker, who was sen tenced at the Folkestone Quarter Sessions on the 16th of July last, to six months' imprisonment in Dover gaol, and to be twice publicly whipped, for picking the pocket of William Till, at Folkestone fair, underwent one por tion of his corporeal punishment, at the hands of the gaoler, in the market-place here yesterday forenoon, at half-past eleven o'clock. The culprit, who was lashed to a pillar, received twenty-two lashes, and is to receive twenty-two more another day. He bore his punishment with much firmness, and without uttering a single com plaint. A considerable number of persons had assembled to witness the degrading exhibition, which seemed, how ever, to induce only a feeling of disgust and indignation at its savage barbarity. The individual who suffered the infliction is, it seems, ono of the metropolitan light fingered tribe, who had been plying his avocation at Folkestone fair, some six months since.—Dover Chro nicle. INSTINCT OP RATS --An old man named Turner, living on Cotton's-common, while gripping last week in a piece of land belonging to Mr. Reeve, of Bardelph parish, cut into a rat's cave, where he discovered two pecks and a half of beans carefully packed up. They had been carried, no doubt, one by one, and hoarded up for,the winter. He took home his prise for his pig.— Stamford Mercury. THIS. DA Y'S NEWS. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) THE DUKE OF LEEDS D. EARL AMHERST.-JUDGMENT. The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued about a week since. Our readers will recollect that the case came before the Court upon appeal from the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor of England, deciding that a full length equestrian picture of the great Duke of Schomberg, who was killed at the battle of the Boyne, and who was the maternal ancestor of the Duke of Leeds, was a portrait, and that it passed as such under the will to the respondent. On the part of the Duke it was contended that it was a picture and not a portrait, and as such belonged to the person who was the owner of llornby-hall in the Great Hall of which it was placed. His Lordship this morning gave judgment, affirming the judgment of the Court below. 1101.111E9 V. BADDELEY. His LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case which was an appeal from the Master of the Rolls. The Court ordered the judgment below to be affirmed. )lARQC•IS OF HERTFORD V. LORD LOWTIIER. The remainder of the day was occupied with the fur thering this appeal, in which a question was raised whether certain money and bank notes in the testator's possession at the time of his death passed by his will devising real estates. Sir James Graham was present a greater portion of the morning, and sat on the bench. This was the last day of term, and it is generally un derstood that his Lordship will not sit again till this day week. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) This being the last day of term, the Vice-Chancellor of England took motions, none of which were of any in terest. (Before Sir K. BRucz.) LYON V. COLVLLLE.-JUDGMENT. • His Hobrona gave judgment in this case this morning. The circumstances were exceedingly complicated, in volving the claims of creditors on the estate of the tes tator, the liability of the property of the widow and ad ministratrix to part of tlicee claims, the settlement of the accounts of the executors, and the question whether certain estates in the island of Jamaica, were, by the construction of the will and the statute law of the colony and of England, converted into equitable assets for the benefit of the creditors. With respect to the first point his Honour grounded his decision on the case of Eland v. Eland, and said, though it might seem a hard case, yet if that decision was rightly given, it would be wrong to award the plaintiff' what he claimed. With respect to the question whether the funds of the testator in the island of Jamaica were equitable assets, he thought, considering the Acts of the Colonial Legislature, and the British statute' the 37th of Geo. In, that those funds must be treated as personal estate, and there fore became legal assets. This principle ap peared to him to be clear of doubt. With regard to the lands iu Jamaica—the Prospect, Paradise, and Retrieve estates—he thought there was not in the will any devise or disposition by which they were con stituted, a real estate for raising a fund for the payment of equitable assets. Though he had come to this con clusion he had not done so without much doubt, as it was a question of much difficulty. But if any part of those estates was to be held to be equitable assets, it must be by some other authority than his. He directed the case to be mentioned again on Thursday week, and the minutes which would require much care, to be drawn up in the interim. (Before Sir J. WIGRAM.) ?FLY V. FRY. JUDGMENT. In this case Frances Maria Burn by her will dated the 28th of June, 1832, gave all her leasehold estates at , Newington, to J. J. Taylor, Esq. and T. W. Fry, to hold as her executors upon trust, and manage them for the benefit of the purposes of her will. The trusts were declared to be out of the rents, issues, and profits to accrue from time to time from her estates, to pay, first, her debts, funeral and testamentary expenses, and legacies, afterwards, given ; secondly, to pay the ground-rents, taxes, &c. of the property ; thirdly, to pay certain annuities, which were given principally to near relations of her late hus band ; and also other annuities subject to certain special provisions. Subject to these incumbrances the property was to go to Mrs. S. C. Fry and her husband, for their lives, afterwards to their children, with a proviso for their maintenance in the event of their surviving their parents ; if there were no children of Mr. and Mrs. Fry who could take the property, then it was to be disposed of, according to the joint appointment of both those par ties, to the next of kin of Sarah Fry. Subsequently, by a codicil of the 15th day of September, 1834, the testa trix revoked so muck of the bequests of her will as re lated to the whole of the leasehold estate, and by that codicil she gave one-half of that estate to Mr. and Mrs. Fry, and the other half to Mr. Charles L. Gee. The question then was, according to the construction of the codicil, what was the subject of the revocation, and what was the subject of the new disposition. For the children of Mr. and Mrs. Fry it was contended that nothing was revoked but the beneficial interest of Mr. Fry, determinable by his death ; also that the sub ject of the revocation and bequest commenced with the gift of Mr. Fry, and that the whole of the estate was sub ject to the charges mentioned in the will. For Mr. Gee it was contended that the whole of the disposition of the will bad been revoked, and that Mr. Gee took one moiety of the estate, discharged of all the debts, charges, and incumbrances, stated in the will. His Honour over-ruled the first point contended for by the children, and, with regard to the other two points, he decided that the case must be considered as a bequest of the leasehold estate, after the charges thrown upon it, and that, subject to those charges, one moiety should go absolutely to Mr. Gee, and the other moiety to Mr. and Mrs. Fry and their children, one half of the charges to be borne by each. With respect to costs, he would hear counsel on a futnre occasion, if there was any objection to throwing the costs upon the general residue. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THB QUEEN V. BARNARD GREGORY. The defendant in this case was brought up by habeas corpus in the custody of Mr. Cope, the Governor of Newgate, in which prison he was sentenced to be im prisoned for twelve months, for the publication ofhbels on the Duke of Brunswick and Mr. H. W. Valiance, the term of which imprisonment will expire to-morrow. The defendant's health seemed to have suffered severely from his imprisonment, he looked exceedingly pale and emaciated, and walked with the feeble tottering gait of an old man. Mr. WORDSWORTH prayed the judgment of the Court upon the defendant on an indictment for libel, which had been found by the grand jury at the Central Cri minal Court, had been removed by certiorari into this Court, and to which the defendant pleaded guilty.l Mr. PLATT, on the part of the defendant, moved for a rule calling upon the prosecutor to show cause why the indictment should not be quashed, or why the judgment should not be arrested. This indictment had been pre ferred at the Central Criminal Court, a Court which had been created by the 4th and sth William IV., cap 36. By the 13th section of that Act it was enacted that no bill of indictment for any misdemeanour (other than per jury or subornation of jury),l which can: or may be presented to the Grand Jury at any sessions of the peace for the city of Westminster, the borough of Southwark, and counties of Middlesex, Essex, Kent, and Surrey, respectively, in which such misdemeanour was com mitted or alleged to have been committed, shall be pre sented to the grand jury to be summoned under the authority of this Act, unless the prosecutor or other person presenting such indictment shall have been bound by recognizance, to prosecute or give evidence at the Sessions to be held under the authority of this Act, against the person or persons accused of such misdemeanor, or unless such person or persons accused shall have been committed to or detained in custody, or shall be bound by recognizance to appear at the said sessions to be held under the authority of this Act. Now, from the record before the Court, it would appear, that the prosecutors had not entered into recognizances to prosecute, until after they had been before the grand jury. They had been before the grand jury on the 14th of November, and had not entered into the recognizances until the 2d of December, eighteen days afterwards. He therefore submitted that the Central Criminal Court had no ju risdiction in this case whatever. Lord DENMAN having read the section referred to, Mr. PLATT, in continuation, urged that looking at the matter in a strictly legal point of view, the Duke of Brunswick, the prosecutor of this indictment, had never entered into any recognizances at all, for the recognizances bore upon the face of them that they were recognizances to prosecute for a libel— not for libels, whereas thei nd ictment was for eleven libels. The proper course for the prosecutor to have pursued would have been to have gone before tho grand jury at the Middlesex Sessions, or at the Westminster Sessions, so as to have had the matter investigated by a jury of the inhabitants of the county in which the al leged libels had been published. He therefore moved for a rule nisi to quash the indictment, or to respite the judgment. Lord DENMAN—Brother Talfourd, do you propose to show cause now? Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—I cannot complain of the course which has been adopted ; but I certainly am not now prepared to show cause against an application of which I have had no notice. Lord DENMAN—(to Mr. Platt)—Then I think you are entitled to a rule.—Rule granted. The defendant was then removed in the custody of Mr. Cope, to Newgate, from which prison he will be discharged to-morrow. Counsel for the prosecution Mr. Sergeant Talfourd and Mr. Wordsworth ; fur the defendant, Mr. Platt. The Duke of Brunswick was in Court and sat among the Queen's Counsel within the bar. PARTRIDGE V. THE BANE OF ENGLAND. In this case, in which an application had been made to the Court by Mr. Justice Erle, Lord DENMAN said there would be no rule. THE QUEEN V. MOON.—QUO WARRANTO. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said, that in this case he had obtained a rule in the Bail Court, calling upon the defendant to show cause by what authority he claimed the right to exercise the office of Alderman for the ward of Portsoken, in the City of London. It was necessary that great care should be taken in drawing up the rule, and it was only to-day that he had fixed the terms of it. He therefore prayed that he might now be per mitted to hand in his papers, and that the rule might b e drawn up as for to-day, so that it might come on for ar gument next term.- Application granted. • LAKE V. THE DUKE OF ARGYLL. Thi s was an action brought against the defendant for goods supplied and work done for an association for the promotion 9f emigration to the British North American colonies, of which the Noble Duke ,was President, and the proceedings in connexion with which created great public sensation about twelve months since. The gi l l: was tried at Guildhall, and the jury found for the tiff. During the present term an application had De", made for a rule nisi to set aside the verdict and foL, new trial, on several grounds, and the Court took tU to consider the matter. Lord DENMAN this morning announced that the CO _ A rt was of opinion that the application must be refused, &P' that the verdict must stand. THE QUEEN V. ALDERMAN THOMAS WOOD. In this case Mr. Gray had obtained a rule 0 14 1 upon the defendant to show cause why an attachat should not issue against him, on account of his fleee': ing to comply with a rule of Court, ordering him to 0 , 1 , liver up certain papers and documents b e longing to 1 0 parish of St. Mary, Newington. • The SOLICITOR-GENERAL showed cause against 0 1 rule. It appeared that Alderman Wood had for eightce a , or twenty years held the office of solicitor to the pari sh ' and the last: year a Mr. Gedge had been appointed the office—that the Alderman had, on payment of hisbl o of costs, handed over to Mr. Gedge ull the docile:lel belonging to the parish necessary for the transaction business, and that Mr. Gedge had all the papers r e : listing to parish business for the last six ye a rs. Ther a were various useless, dusty old papers, b e l ong i n g to d, o l t! parish, which Mr. Wood had promised to lo o k out a . 1 deliver to Mr. Geddye, who was not content to until Mr. Wood's clerk had had time to look them 01111 but had applied to the Court for this attacha 3 " The papers were, however, ready to be de l l . ' ve red over. It was evident that a gre at de, of temper had been exhibited in this matter, and it W. morn to that the papers bad been demand e d in a I'M insulting manner. They were perfectly useless, a nd le, trusted, under these circumstances, that th e ru le woof' be discharged with costs. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—Do you want their dirty old papers, Mr. Gray ? Mr. GRAY—Every one of them, my Lord.—(A The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to argue in or port of the rule, the obtaining of which h a d marl's° lously quickened the operations of Mr. Wood's clerks !! making the search, and without which he believed P papers would not bare been produced. Mr. Justice WlLLlsias gave the judgment of the Coarit which was, that the rule should be discharged witha l costs. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I hope the other party sr ° prepared to take away the papers ; they are in Court. What are we to do with them ? They are perfectli useless ; some of them are old backs of briefs. Mr. Justice Wl',Lusts—Hand them to Mr. Gray. Lo rd DENMAN—In my time the custom used to be 0 , change old briefs for new, not new f or o ld.—(A l aug h.) The box containing " the musty records" was the! solemnly handed over to the attorney for the parish, and taken out of Court. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OP YORKSHIRE. Mr. Pesnusion moved for a rule for a mandamus 113 this case directed to the three J us ti ces o f Yorkshire, commanding them to issue a distress warrant to enforce the payment of_ a poor-rate for the township o f Bud dersfield. Tho rate had been made an d dull published, and a demand had been made OP the II uddersfield Philosophical Society. They did not pay and did not appeal to the Quarter Session" but went before the Judges in Petty Sessions, and sub" mitted that they were not liable to be rated under the statute of the Gth and 7th of Victoria, c. 36, which exempted all societies for the purposes of science, liter!' ture, and the fine arts ; but the object of the society ' question was to instruct all classes of the community in every branch of science, literature, and the fine art* which the Learned Counsel contended did not COo e within the exception of the statute.—Rule granted. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE MARQUIS OF BUTE V. THOMPSON. Tho Court gave judgment in thi s case . Th e question related to the working of certain coal-mines ; and the Court were of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to their judgment. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS D►AY.) (Sittings in Banco.) At the sitting of the Court this day, being the last ° f the term, their Lordships proceeded to give judgment 10 several cases which stood over. The following wore th° only ones of any interest. CALDICOI7 V. JOHNSON. This was an action of ejectment, which was brought to try a right claimed under a will. The verdict wo s taken for the defendant for the purpose of having the opinion of the full Court upon the point of law, whi ch was, whether Michael Mason, jun., under whose will the defendant held possession, had not granted more than he himself derived under the will of his father, Michael Mason, sen. Their LORDSHIPS were of opinion that the will of the son was not an execution of the father's will, and ruled the verdict be entered for the plaintiff. GRINNELL v. WELLS. It will be recollected that in this case the plaintiff. s schoolmaster of respectability, recovered damages, in 0, large amount, for the seduction of his daughter, against the defendant, an opulent farmer, in whose family the young woman lived as governess. A rule was subse quently obtained to bar proceedings on the ground that the father had no action for the expenses of his daughter's maintenance, and that the action ought to have been brought for loss of services. The COURT decided this day that the father had no action for maintenance. In a case of seduction his only claim was for loss of services.—Rule to bar proceedings made absolute. THOMAS V. DUNN—THE CHINESE COLLECTION. The plaintiff, formerly agent to Mr. Dunn, who is pro prietor of the Chinese Collection, brought this action upon a contract, to which the defendant pleaded that the document was a forgery. The jury found for the defen dant, and in the course of this term the plaintiff applied in person to the Court for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be Set aside, when their Lordships took time to consider judgment. On that occasion W gave an adequate statement of the facts. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, this morning, seeing the plaintiff in Court, said—Mr. Thomas, we have looked into your case, and we are unwilling to say anything more at present than that the rule nisi will be granted. Mr. WALCOMBE, who now appeared for the plaintiff, said that his client wished to put in two affidavits re specting facts which he had stated at the time of his ap plication, but which had not been supported. The Court granted leave to put in those affidavits. CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS BAY.) The first session of the present Mayoralty w a s corn" roomed this morning at the Old Bailey.. Precisely at tea o'clock, the Right Hrln. the Lord Mayor attended by his chaplain, Mich:m:l Gibbs, A.M., ~ vicar of Christ Church ; Aldermen H. Hughes, Kelly, Hooper, Marshall, Sheriff Sidney, and Under-Sheriffs Martin and Ashurst entered, and the Court was o pened in the usual form. lhe names of the grand jury were then called over, and they being sworn, The RECORDER then proceeded to deliver his charge. lie said that the charges in thepresent calendar, although nut numerous—it containing only 118 names—at the same time, comprehended several charges of the most serious and important character. Many of them were charges of violence to the person. No less than ten for cutting and wounding with intent to do some grievous bodily harm ; seventeen of larceny from the person, ee" companied, more or less, with 'violence ; two of ruin' slaughter, and one of murder. All these cases were of serious character, but the facts connected with them were in general clear and sufficiently distinct, and not involving any question of law on which it would be necessary le! him to address them. Their attention would be princi pally directed to the question of fact, what credibility should be given to the witnesses, and how far the cow Meting evidence should be believed. With regard to the charge of murder, he did not think it convenient, nor would it answer any useful purpose, to advert to it, or examine its details. They would give it their due and cautious attention. With regard to one of the charges of manslaughter, which was involved in considerable ob scurity—a charge against a husband, a professional man —it behoved them to sift the evidence well, and before they returned a verdict of manslaughter, to feel assured that there were really good grounds for their so doing. There were two other charges to which it might be ex pected that be should allude—he meant those which re lated to offences of a foul and unnatural character ; but he was sure they would spare the Court any reference to such infamous cases, as the grea t pro bability was, that the facts themselves would be amply sufficient to guide their opinions. The remaining cases in the calendar did not require any pa' ticuita notice, but it was with regret he stated that there was one case of manslaughter, to which he could not properly refer, a s th e d e p os iti ons were transmi tted just before the sitting of the Court that morn ing. The proper officer to have sent them In might have done so several days before, but he, with a culpable procrastination, had deferred the transmission of them till the last hour allowed by Jew: Had they been delayed a little longer, the Court would have felt it its duty to impose a fine upon the offending party. The Learned Recorder then adverted to the general duties of the grand jury, and concluded thus-- With these remarks he would leave the gentlemen of the grand jury to the discharge of their duties, but he woul d add, that if an ythi ng s h ou ld ar i se, i n the course o f t he ir proceedings, to call for the assistance of the Court, it would be readily granted them. They might always re fer to the officer appointed to assist, and with these few words he would dismiss them. The grand jury then retired. NEW PUBLIC MART FOR ORIENTAL SitrAWLS. Tilt; large sale of India shawls, for which London has II"' become the grand market, took place yesterday, at , the Hall of C ommerce, Threadneedle -street, and was PRI' eiPally attended by dealers from the Continent. Up' wards of 3,000 shawls wero sold, and a sum little short h of sixty th ousan d poun d s c h anged hands. Ala" the shawl s th us di spose d o f are considered to b e o f a flu e quality, they are not of the very first class, the latter being always secured by opulent dealers, su ch es Ale B S% Everington a nd C om p any , M essrs.
