Author of " The Kuzzilbash," " Allee Neemroo." &o. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-etreet. I keep prominently before the public eye. It is clear j that the Commissionery do receive secret charges and informations, and act upon them, without giving the accused or informed-against any opportunity of per sonally confronting their delators and vindicating themselves. This practice, we suppose, explains the imi , tative silence of the Mr. Horiussoss (if we remember his name aright) who, after the Imperial fashion of ' the Fum-Hi Commiusioners themselves, vouchsafes, in his " celestial" serenity, not one word of reply to the civil application of the Guardians to be fa voured with the names of his informants. All Englishmen, at all times, under all con. ceivable circumstances, ought to put down this villainous practice of deletion. It is treason to ' the Constitution under which we live ; a mockery of the noblest birthrights we inherit; a scandal upon the unity of the principles on which justice and equity should be universally administered throughout this country ! Why should this excrescent Commission disirace the pervading element of all our institutions, administrative or executive, by receiving private in structions and shaping their acts upon them, in any single exercise of their functions ? The sooner they are deprived, by a stern and memorable rebuke of the Legislature, of this tyrannous and exclusive luxury, the better. So much as to questions of principle. What is their dealing with questions of fact? The many-times elected master is desired, after two re signations, to remain in the exercise of his office by the Board of Guardians, under whose orders he acts. The Board ,of Infallibles pounce upon this poor fellow, vibrating between the annulling powers of an obscure clause in an ill-framed, unintelligible Act of Parliament, and his duty to the creative commands of his immediate official superiors. They institute legal proceedings against him. He is actually subjected to penalties of fine (and in default of .payment, to imprisonment), and, parenthetically, as it were, to the damages of suspension and interdict from his office This, be it observed, is a man who bears an unexceptionable character, and is of admitted activity and usefulness in his management of parochial pauper business. Surely, if the Guardians and rate-payers of the Bradfield Union had permitted such oppressive va garies as these on the part of a costly, and therefore meddling " Commissionery," without manfully resist in; them, they would have forgotten their duty to themselves, to the Union they represent, to the un fortunate man they have appointed. But, having stood forward, nobly, fairly, and decidedly as they have done, they have exposed themselves to the hostile visitation "at law" of the Triumvirs, it seems. Every man in Britain who detests oppression in the abstract, and is anxious to oppose the practical tyranny of official oppressors, will respond, we are confident, to the call which is now made upon him to contribute his mite towards the fund which it may be necessary immediately to provide for the conduct and expenses of their defence, and that of BILANGWIN. They must be held harmless for their calm but intrepid resistance to the demands of these troublesome and mischievous officials ; he must be indemnified for acting under their very proper instructions; and, on our part, we shall willingly lend our services towards achieving such an end by receiving subscriptions for its accom plishment, at our office, in conformity with the terms of the resolutions agreed to at the meeting of the Bradfield Union Guardians on Saturday last. We shill readily acknowledge these, from time to time, in uur columns. Ac2ounts have been received from Constantinople o the 4th of September. Commissioners have been appointed to investigate the proper form of administration suitable to the pro vince of Albania, as it is considered that from the peculiar habits of its people it cannot be reduced to order by the same laws which operate in other parts of the Turkish empire. 1 The French shopkeepers at Constantinople and at Pen, who have enjoyed for many years privileges contrary to the letter of the law, are, it appears, in despair at the Porte now exhibiting a determination to resume its inherent rights, and to make those shop keepers contribute to the expenses of the State. The shopkeepers are applying to their several ambassadors and an embarrassing discussion is likely to take place between the Porte and the ambassadors, the former having right and reason on its side, and the latter being called upon to plead in favour of an abuse which has only a certain prescription for its authority. Already has a serious dispute arisen between the Greek Ambassador and the Porte, in consequence of the Governor of Pera and Galata having shut up the shops of several Greeks who had not received permis sion from the Porte to carry on trade there. Madrid papers to the 18th instant have been re ceived. The Gazette contains a royal order suspend ing the law which requires the members of corpora tions to go out in turn, according to a certain rota tion ; and directing that the present members of cor porations shall hold their offices till further orders. This is in the direct teeth of the law, and the object of it is to keep the present members, who are &voted Moterados in oaks. The Eco del Commercio:mentions the release from prison of Don Joss and Don RAMON FIERA, Don, MANTEL ALMAZARO, Don R. FERNANDEZ, Don M. SALAMANCA, and Don F. SEYAS, who were arrested on account of the pretended conspiracies so much spoken of a few weeks ago. A grand banquet took place on the 17th, in ce:ebra of his adversaries ; he does not throw bad language about, right or, wrong but, on the other hand, per haps he never expressed himself in terms more noble or more touching relative to Ireland, the object of his reli gious worship, and which repays him with so much gratitude and love for his devotedness to her cause." With regard to Otaheite the Constitutionnel and the Journal de Paris both agree in opinion that the Protectorate of the island is not worth having, and ought to be abandoned. The Revue de Paris is of the same opinion and alludes to the withdrawal of the British from Affghanistan, as a precedent which it would be well that France should follow with regard to Otaheite. The Duke of GLUCKSBERG arrived in Paris on Mondny. He. is said to hare brought the original treaty concluded with the Emperor ABDERRIIAMAN of Morocco, and to have come to obtain the ratifica tion of the KING of the FRENCH, with which he is to return to Tangiers. In relation to this treaty the:Siecle observes :—" This peace is an English pence; it will be advantageous to Englar.d alone, and it was negotiated by English agents. Let us not be told, that France was the arbiter to decide upon the conditions of the peace, for it was England alone who dictated them." On the subject of the visit of the KING of the FRENCH to this country, we extract the following from the Canstitutionnel tion of the victory obtained "by the defenders of the Constitutional throne," in the elections of the pro►ince of Madrid. M. MARTINEZ DE LA ROSA presided, and, in a brief speech, expressed his abhorrence both of despotism and of revolutions.' The Quee❑ of SPAIN has conferred the Grand Cor don of the Royal Order of CHARLES 111. on the Count DE BRESSON, the French Ambassador at Madrid. "The King of the French has received from the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of London a pressing invitation to be present at the banquet which is to be offered to the Queen by the City, on the occasion of the opening of the flew Exchange ; and the King, though much gratified by the terms of the invitation, has refused it, alleging as an excuse the state of his health and the shortness of his stay in England." The Revue de Paris says, his MAJESTY would have gone to London had it been possible to avoid the ceremony of a formal reception. The Km wishes that, in the present circumstances, his journey to England should preserve the character of a mere visit from one Sovereign to another." Of the Narvaez-Rosa Cabinet the Clamor Publico says, with much truth—" It resembles a mantle made up of rags of all colours, whereby miseries and ini quities innumerable are concealed. Let the day come when the devil shall cast off his mantle, and the nation will behold a woful sight." Letters from Madrid state that the holders of trea sury bonds have come to an understanding with the Government. These bonds have been converted into three per Cents. at 32. The sum represented by these bonds amounts, it is said, to 50 millions of reals The arrangement with the holders of the floating debt has not yet been definitively settled. The Council of the Cabinet has had aeveral deliberations on the sub ject, and it is said that a resolution has been come to to effect the conversion at 40; but this offer does not appear to suit the ideas of the holders, who have since held a meeting at the Bank of St. Ferdinand. 'lle result of their deliberations has been, it is said, a protestation against the above rate of 40 as too high, and a proposition on their parts of fixing it at 37. It is not known how this offer will be met, but it will probably lead to further conferences on the subject. MADAM BOLZA, SEPT. 18.—Three per Cents, 27k, .it sixty days; Five per Cents. 20i at sixty days; Floating Debt, 64 at fifty-five day; Coupons, 25i au sixty days; Exchange—London, 37k. The Debats thus alludes to the letter of Captain Tour NICHOLAS, denying the statement in the Paris Globe, that there had been a sailing match between the Adonis French frigate and her MAJESTY'S ship Vindictive :—" We produce this letter with pleasure. The tone, full of urbanity, of that officer, and the courtesy with which he congratulates himself on the amicable relations which he always had with the officers of the French navy, especially► when on the Otaheite station, cannot but contribute to re-establish entirely the sentiments of esteem and reciprocal cor diality which were for a moment changed." The Revue de Paris says:— " It is said that the Government has received impor tant dispatches from M. Alley de Ciprey, our Minister at Mexico, and that they throw a new light on the events at Tabasco, which the journals have already spoken of. M. de Ciprey declares that if the Ministry do not take a decisive step, he cannot, consistent with the dignity of a representative of France, remain any longer in Mexico. The President, Santa Anna, who has shown himself so cruel to our countrymen, thinks be can get over the matter by changing his Cabinet. He is to dismiss M. de Bocanegro and his colleagues ; and he hopes that no thing further will be said on the matter. The Ministry is very much embarrassed. It feels the necessity of a demonstration, but it does not dare to adopt vigorous measures, though M. Thiers's Ministry, in similar cir cumstances, did not hesitate to adopt them."

Otaheite, Morocco, and the O ' CONNELL banquet in Dublin, are the subjects chiefly commented on. The Constitutionnel thus comments on the proceedings of Mr. O ' CONNELL " A very clever manoeuvre of the Agitator is to have imposed silence on his religions passions, put Popery out it the question, and appealed to the patriotism of the Irish Protestants. This appeal has been listened to ; if a good number of bishops and Catholic priests figure amongst the guests at the dinner, the chairman, Mr. Smith O'Brien, was a Protestant. O'Connell, who never misses an opportunity to make a point, referred with admirable tact to the worthy president as the living witness of the spirit of moderation and tolerance which animates the repcal, and drew forth without difficulty signs of assent from Mr. O'Brien. This new proceeding of O'Connell merits being studied, for it raises the move ment in Ireland, which hitherto had only the charac teristics of fiction, to the height of a serious political action. It prepares an alliance which can alone give a direct object to the agitation, and gives the Whigs and Repealers a common ground on which they may combat the Tories.

One of the greatest improvements which is in progress of adoption, and in which the shipping interests are concerned, connected with the affairs of Lloyd's, is that of having a room entirely devoted to the reception and inspection of authorised charts, delineating the bearings of the coasts of the world. We find that a meeting was held yesterday afternoon of the merchants connected with Lloyd's, at which thanks were carried unanimously to the King of Prussia for a present of a most valuable set of charts, published by his order, from actual stir veys. The same well-deserved compliment was paid to the East India Company for large number of similar useful references for the chart-room. No doubt all foreign governments having a seaboard will follow the example of his Prussian Majesty, and of the Court of Directors of the East India Company. Indeed there cannot be a doubt but that this new and most excellent plan of the Committee of Lloyd's will be adopted by every country in civilised Europe, by which the correct and true bear ing of distant ports may be had easily by the captains of vessels who trade with foreigners. The records of the Admiralty Court are loaded with instances in which vessels arriving on our coasts have fallen into danger, and too frequently become a total loss, by the masters making a vague guess of the course they have to take ; and the same may be said in numberless instances with respect to captains of our own mercantile fleet chartered to foreign ports. All those who are connected with British shipping ought, therefore, to aid the grand object of Lloyd's Committee by forwarding authorised charts so that the collection may be complete as near as can be. No late arrivals from the Colonies have been an nounced this morning. A new set of tables has just been issued by the Com missioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, for the conversion of Stock into annuities for lives and for fixed periods. The old set of tables did not take so high a range as par for Consols, and hence the necessity of cal culations for annuities to be granted under such a favourable state of circumstances. It may be useful to mention that the new tables may be had upon applica tion, without fee, at the National Debt-office, in the Old Jewry. The market for the English securities is to day on the advance again, and in consequence of one or two pur chases only we have had Consols up to 99! and 100/ for Money, and to 100 and 1004 for Account.

According to a notice published yesterday evening by his Excellency the Minister of Finance, the mea sures presented by the royal resolution of the 21st of August last, relative to the repayment or the con version of the public debt, bearing interest at 5 and 41 per cent., have led to the following result :- 1.

It results from the declaration made by the holders of bonds issued by the late Syndicate at 4l per cent. interest, that the conversion of their bonds into inscriptions at 4 per cont., and indemnity of 3fl. 50e. for every 100 florins principal has been asked for a sum of 2:3,634,200 florins.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 24.—Yesterday morning, at one o'clock, a salute of twenty-one guns announced the solemnity of the day. At ten a funeral service was performed in the Church of St. Gudule, in me mory of the citizens who fell in defence of the national independence. This week there have arrived at Ostend 23 boats, with cod, together 1,489 tuns, from the Doggerbank, to be added to the 6,592 tuns already received at the same port, and 1,179 tuns from Ferro. Accounts from Dunkirk, of the 19th, say— " More than forty-one fishing vessels have arrived here within these forty-eight hours. Unhappily, every boat that arrived brings the most unfavourable accounts of the result of the fishery, and the losses which have been sustained. Five vessels, insured for 150,000 francs, are totally lost. Most of the others have suffered much damage to their sails, masts, &c. Only half of our boats have yet returned, so that we are in fear for them." ___ BRUSSELS, SEPT. 23.—The shipowners, merchants, and sugar refiners, who met lately at Brussels, to examine the effects of the existing law on sugar, were unanimously of opinion that a modification of the law is highly necessary and indispensable. The manoeuvres of the camp of Beverloo were very brilliant. The Minister of War bore witness to the great improvement of the troops, who, among other evolutions, gave a representation of the battle of July, the plan of which had been received from the French ' Minister of War. This manoeuvre excited the admi ration of all the generals who were present. CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT, 4.—The Porte, which can scarcely manage its own affairs, has thought fit to take Sultan Abder Shaman under its protection. Troubled by articles in some French journals, which state that some Bel g i an o ffi cers h a d a ppli e d t o the I French Government to be employed in the campaign egainst Morocco, the Porte has taken it into its head FOREIG 1 LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1844, " We feel it incumbent on us," says the Post of yesterday, " to offer a brief and respectful allusion to one very painful subject connected with her MAJESTY'S present excursion. On the occasion of her former visit to the North, she sojourned for some days at the palace of Dalkeith. There was no Epis copal Church within a convenient distance. But her MAJESTY declined attending the Presbyterian places of worship, and Divine service was performed within the palace by Dean RAMSAY, of Edinburgh, accord ing to the rites of the Church. The QUEEN is now at Blair Athol. There is an Episcopal chapel on the spot, but through some inauspicious influence, the nature of which we care not to particularise, though nothing would be more easy than to do so, her MAJESTY has been actually prevailed on to appear at public worship, not in the chapel where the Episcopal worship is celebrated according to the rites of the Episcopal Church, but at the meet ing-place of the Calvinists or Presbyterians, to whom Prelacy—the Prelacy her MAJESTY has sworn to maintain—is the object of implacable hate and ab horrence, and the symbol of damnable abomination." The spirit that pervades the above passage is the most bigoted it is possible to conceive, and is far more suitable to the days of LAUD—that most intolerant and ceremonious of Churchmen—than to the more enlightened nineteenth century. Why should not her MAJESTY, if it so pleases her, attend Divine ser vice at a Presbyterian place of worship ? Is there anything in the doctrines there inculcated at variance with real Christianity ? On the contrary, does not the Presbyterian maintain the true principles of the Christian faith with quite as much earnestness and >incerity as the most orthodox Churchman that ever upheld the infallibility of the thirty-nine articles We have no patience with such gross intolerance as that exhibited by our Contemporary, who evidently confounds religion with sectarianism, and deems it a subject of legitimate regret that her MAJESTY has " been prevailed on" to sanc tion with her presence any other form of worship than that adopted in our State Church. Surely, to pay a decent respect to Presbyterianistn, in the country of that persuasion, is not to show in difference to orthodoxy; but rather to rise superior to mere schismatic prejudices, in the innate conscious ness of a real religious feeling, and to set an ex ample of toleration which is worthy of all praise Illiberality in these matters has too long been the bane of England; the Churchman has been too long in the habit of distrusting, despising, and holding aloof from the Dissenter; and her MA JESTY deserves the respect and gratitude of every sincere and enlightened Christian for endeavouring, by her influential example, to encourage habits of toleration and good-will among her subjects of dif ferent persuasions. It is not a synagogue, nor a Unitarian nor a Swedenborgian Chapel, that our youthful SOVEREIGN has attended, but a place where Christ Crucified" is preached with quite as much impressiveness and strength and holi ness of feeling as in any of our national cathedrals. What, then, is there to regret in her con duct P Are the prayers sere offers up herself, or hears the Presbyterian Minister offer up, less acceptable to the ALMIGHTY than those which are offered up in the Chapel Royal of St. James's ? We cannot under stand these nice distinctions in religious matters, which, in our view of the case, savour not of a sound devotional feeling, but of the essence of bigotry and uncharitableness. We are glad to find that the rate-payers of the Bradfield Union continue to manifest a determined and vigorous opposition to the oppressive deportment of the Poor-law Commissioners. In our paper of Tuesday last, in reference to the election of a master to the Bradfield Union Workhouse, we narrated the circumstances attending the appointment, by the Guardians, of the elected candidate, a Mr. BRING WIN ; the objections of the " Comtnissionery " to that individual ;—the reply to, and disproof of, those objections by the Board of Guardians ;—the subse quent arbitrary edicts for BRANGWIN'S dismissior, and the election of a successor iu his stead, issued by the Infallible Council of Somerset-house ;—the sue cessive resignations and re-elections of the indestruc tible BRINGWIN ;—the haughty but ridiculous inter positions of the Infallibles ;—the renewed communica tions addressed to them by the Guardians on this case ;—and their supercilious and arrogant treat ment of those communications. That the Pour-law Commissioners, at the distance of half a hundred miles from Bradfield, should be bet ter judges of the fitness of a man whom they never saw, for a particular office in that locality, than eight and-twenty Guardians of the poor (resident inha bitants within the Union limits), cognisant of the conduct, history, and reputation of the individual, and personally associated with him for five years at the same Board, where they describe him to have been an active and zealous coadjutor) ;—all this may surprise common men of common minds. But the New Poor law Act has ruled it so ! That the notion of " elec- ,on " supposes not a purposeless ceremony, but a proceeding to be perfected by the induction of the elected into the office for which he is chosen, is a de lusion naturally enough misleading those who, as to such inferior matters as the exercise of a Parlia mentary electoral franchise enforce the prompt and jealous recognition and protection by Parliament it self, of the objects of their choice. But still it is a delusion. Such a notion is contrary to the whole scope of the jurisdiction assumed and practically ex ercised by the Autocratic Commissioners—(which is everything)—although it may be strictly conformable with the intentions of the Legislature—(which are nothing)—in the framing of their most unconstitu tional and extravagant Commission. That these pre tensions, and this mode of enforcing them, on the part of the Commission, are an insult on the under standings, an infringement on the civil privileges, and an impertinent interference with the official functions of Poor-law Guardians—may be true. But the Le gislature has smuggled into the darkest corner of one of the multitudinous clauses of that dirty labyrinth of a Bill, some vile and unsuspected authority for such outrages, which, like an obscene bird of prey, never sees the light except when it darts from its dirty hiding -place to oppose the advance of some unsus pecting explorer who would penetrate too intrusively into the mystery beyond it. These are large concessions of fact. They are not meant to involve a single concession of principle, On principle, of course, we concur with the Guardians and rate-payers of the Bradfield Union in indignantly protesting against such insufferable assumptions of despotic authority " Com m i ss i onery, " founded, agth o ey i nee e ssa r 1 by the , h on such premises as p os iti ve infallibility, and an intuitive, Mesmeric swceptibi lity to the qualifications of workhouse masters—how ever remote, unseen, unknown, uncommunicated with! But there are questions, both of fact and of principle, involved in 13setivvai's:case, which it maybe well to FRENCH RAILWAYS. LONDON AND HAMBURGH. PROPOSED DAILY COMMUNICATION. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of bankers, mer chants, and other influential persons connected with the City of London, was held at the Weavers'-hall, in Basinghall-street, for the purpose of considering of a proposition to establish a daily communication be tween London and Hamburgh. Jowl BAGSRAW, Esq., took the Chair and ex plained the object of the meeting. The passage be tween London and Hamburgh, as at present per formed, occupied from fifty to sixty hours, and the communication only took place twice a week. It was now proposed to.establish a line of steam-packets between the port of Harwich and Gluckstadt, the distance to Harwich from London to be performed by railway, which was at present open as far as Colches ter, and which would be extended to Harwich, and the distance between Gluckstadt and Hamburgh, also by railway, which was now open. By this plan the river navigation on this side the water would be avoided, and also the tedious navigation of the Elbe between Gluckstadt and Hamburgh, which frequently occupied many hours, and as Gluckstadt was on the Danish side of the Elbe, the liability to pay the Stadt duties would not arise. It was assumed that a fare of 20s. for the voyage between Harwich and Gluck stadt would be amply sufficient to yield a good profit, and the land journey from London to Harwich, and that from Gluckstadt to Hamburgh, would be able to be performed for about 205., so that the expense of the journey from London to Hamburgh would be under two pounes, while the present cost was 4/., and the time saved would be more than one-half, as the whole distance would be performed in twenty-four hours, the time now occupied being nearly sixty; and, added to this advantage, it was proposed to open a daily communication with Hamburgh, and it was pro- ' posed now to establish a company for that purpose. • GEORGE THONIPSON, Esq., then addressed the meeting at considerable length, and concluded by moving " That an improved communication between London and Hamburgh is desirable and practicable, and that this meeting is of opinion that the same might take place daily, or every twenty-four hour s; and this meetin g f ur th er pledges itself to support any undertaking for that purpose. The resolution having been secon , 'ed, was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN then read the prospectus for the formation of a Company, to he called the "North of Europe Navigation Company," the capital to be 100,0001., to be raised by shares of 107. each. Captain HEyEs read estimates, from which it ap peared that five vessels would be required, which would cost 85,000/. to build and equip. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. The Cesarewitch betting, if not heavy, was compre hensive, no less than a dozen horses having been backed; some, it must be admitted, for very small amounts. Those most in request were the Souvenir filly, The Brewer, Glossy, Haitoe, Una, Give-him-a-Name, and William le Gros, the latter, who was once or twice backed at 16 to 1, leaving off at a discount. The odds quoted against the Derby horses were taken ; the highest offer against Alarm was 11 to 1; a point more would have been taken.

The editors have taken a very careful review of the' Irish State " monster" proceedings, and, from Blackstone and other works, clearly show that the conviction of Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers was illegal ; Oat Lord Denman's observations in the House of Lords w. as perfectly sound law ; and, consequently, that the reveres I of the judgment is correct, This is important for Op J• public to know. (FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.) The Minister of Public Works has not yet arrived in Paris from his tour of inspection. He is expected impatiently by the parties who have entered into competition for the two lines of railway, which will be adjudicated on the sth of October ; viz. the line from Orleans to Vierzon, and that from Orleans to Tours and Bordeaux. For the first line there are but two competitors, and it is said that an arrangement will probably be made between them, so as to obtain from the Government the most advantageous terms. Of the four competitors for the Orleans aid Bor deaux line, it said, that there is but one company, that of the Comte d'Anthouard, which is legally constituted, and which offers to the commission charged with the examination of the pretensions of each the requisite moral guarantee for the execution of the line. The companies formed separately by Messrs. Drouillard and Rothschild have presented no list of subscribers. Mackenzie's line has few supporters in France. The shares are distributed nearly all in England. There is a strong opinion that this company, having laid its plans so mal-adroitly, will not even be ad mitted into the competition. The company of the Comte d'Anthouard have put in a list of 2,100 French subscribers, independent of the subscription for warded from England. Amongst the French Committee of this Company, are some of the most practical as well as powerful men in France. The opinion is in favour of its obtaining the concession. COURT CIRCULAR.
