FACTORY CHILDREN. We have been accustomed to hear and read many strange things, coming from the people who call themselves the friens of the factory children ; but nothing so atrociously wicked as the following words, which are stated to have been used by Mr. Oastler, at a meeting on the ten hours' bill, held at Blackburn on the 15th instant, has yet come under our notice. Mr. Oastler is reported by the Black burn Gazette to have said— " Oh, we must have men that will fight up to the knees in blood for the ten hour bill. For perhaps we may have to fight for it yet ; but mind take care that you don't begin until you see me lead the way.—(Shouts of laughter.) I will tell you, however, how we can beat them. If they will resist, I will teach every factory child in the kingdom how to use a knitting needle among the machinery. Oh, yes, I'll do for them. I'm taking lessons now to learn little children how to do more harm than good. This is on con dition—that they resist the law. lam resolved that the laws of England shall triumph over the factory monsters, or that the factory monsters—shall breathe their last !" A man who can use language like this—who can talk of teaching children to destroy the property of their em ployers—may, if be please, call himself a christian or a philanthropist, but he is either a madman or a most har dened and desperate villain. Of course we do not know that Mr. Oastler used the words, having only the authority of the paper above-mentioned ; but if they were used by him, it is high time either that his friends should put him under some restraint, or that the law should interppse to check the career of wickedness which he seems disposed to run. The Manchester Guardian, from which we take the above, has the following remarks on the charge brought by Mr. Bell against the Hon. and Learned Member for Kil kenny2— " Now, whether O'Connell ever made any promise to support a ten hours' bill (by the way we never heard of Mr. Fielder's) we do not know ; nor are we at all aware of his reasons or motives for voting in favour of the bill brought in by Mr. Poulett Thomson • but of this we are very sure, that the statement made by Mr. Bell on the authority of some nameless informant (most probably Mr. Oastler) is grossly untrue from end to end. Of course, we need not inform our readers in this neighbourhood, that Mr. Potter is no more a mill-owner than Mr. Bell or Mr. O'Connell ; consequently the assertion that he and "the other " mill-owners " did unquestionably present Mr. O'Connell with a thousand pounds, is mere nonsense. The subscrip tion raised in Manchester towards defraying the expenses incurred by Mr. O'Connell in defending his seat for Dub lin, and the seats of some of his sons, had just as much to do with his vote on the Factory Bill as it had with the burning of Troy. Mr. O'Connell's vote was given on the 9th of May ; but nobody had either heard or thought of the subscription until after the decision of the Dublin Election Committee, which took place five days subsequently namely, on the 14th of May ; and of the 1,0001. or there abouts, raised in Manchester, not one-fifth was subscribed by mill-owners, or persons who had any personal interest in the factory bill, one way or other. " The story is evidently a gross and clumsy fabrication, got up by some of the advocates of the ten hours' bill ; and nobody need feel any surprise at it. The _people who can teach little children to use knitting-needles amongst the machinery are not likely to stick at a falsehood or two, when those may happen toiuit their purpose." INCREASED CIRCULATION OF NEWSPAPERS.— The number of Newspapers sent through the General Post_ office, on Saturday last, was 74,800 ; being upwards of 30,000 over the usual number. • HALIFAX.—Mr. Wood pretends to call himself a Reformer ; and out of thirty-one motions submitted to the House for discussion, Mr. Wood has been absent, how many times ? Once ? Twice 1)- Three times ? Yes, five times three, which is equal to fifteen times that Mr. Wood has been absent from his duty in Parliament I Mr. Wood is neither more nor less, in truth, than a Tory in the disguise of a Whig. ile has voted against nearly every measure that was for the benefit of the people ; and those he has not voted for at all, is through absence ; and, mind you, the 'Voiles have attended to, and got a most decided advantage over the-people, both in the House and in the country, by the assistance of irresponsible legislators in the Upper House.—Leeds Times. 7 c.sterday afternoon, about two o'clock, an elderly ^ntleman, apparently about sixty years of age, quite ex hausted, went into Mr. Stammer's, licensed victualler, High !qrect, Whitechapel, but before he had sat many minutes, appearing in a dying state, and not being able to say where he lived, Alr. S. had him conveyed to the London Elospi,tal in a hackney-coach, but before he arrived life was extinct.. Ile now lies at the London hospital to await the Coronef's in .quest. Nothing whatever was found in his possession to ascertain who he was. On Saturday evening a very lengthened inquiry took place, at the White Hart Inn and Posting-house, Crawford Bridge, on the Windsor-road, before Mr. Stirling and ahigEly respectable Jury, on view of the body of Mr. John Moody, aged 79, an extensive stage-coach proprietor, whose death was occasioned by injuries received, in consequence of the upsetting of a Windsor coach, which be was driving, on the evening of Saturday se'nnight. The Jury, after a short consultation, re turned a verdict of " Accidental Death." A cock partridge, perfectly white, was lately - shot in Foxholes Field, by Geo. Taylor, gamekeeper to B. M. Os halleston, Esq., of Ilunmanby. —York Herald.

I 5,373 PROSPERITY.—The influx of strangers into Brad ford is so great, that dwellings are riot to be obtained; in fact, such is tho demand for houses that they are frequently promised 'ere the builders have got above ground. New ware houses, new buildings, and streets, projected and projecting, meet the eye in every direction.—Leeds Times. We regret exceedingly, says the Tyne Mercury, to hear that a misunderstanding exists between a portion of the pitmen of this district and their employers. The chief cause of discontent, we believe, to be an impression, whether well or ill-founded, that the corves or baskets in which the coals are brought from the mine to bank have been larger than they ought to have been, and that the pitmen have in conse quence received less money for working them than they were entitled to. A numerous meeting of pitmen belonging to colleries on the Tyne and Wear took place on Black Fell on Saturday last, which was addressed by Messrs. Parkin, Pyle, Hepburn, Marton, Reed, Hammond, and Lowrey, and reso lutions were agreed to, to the effect that a full statement of their grievances should be laid before their employers. The counterpane manufacturers of Bolton have made an advance of 2d. in the shilling on the price of weav ing —Leeds Mercury. ASSASSINATION OF A WIFE BY TIER ilus- BAND.—At the Court of the Seine Assizes held last Friday, a case of strong suspicion was made out against a man, by name Amouroux, of having murdered his wife. The body of the unfortunate woman was found in a garret in a state of putre faction. Amouroux's aecount of the cause of his wife's death was, that in consequence of the embarrassed state of their affairs, she and he had both agreed to die, under the now com mon system of double suicide • that accordingly a charcoal fire was employed, which had the desired effect on his wife, but that on him, notwithstanding his renewed attempts, the vapour took no effect. Medical men were of opinion that death might have been caused by the charcoal, or by some other cause. There were no marks of violence, nor was there any evidence of internal poison. The investigation was to be resumed on the following day. Chief Justice Tindal returned to Brighton on Wednesday by the GeneralkSteam Navigation Company's ooT he packet the Belfast, from a eMtnental tour. Mrs. Fitzher bert has left Brighto n in g reatl y improved health L for ndn Salisbury, with the intention of p roceedin g sh ortly to Dowager Marchioness of Westmeath arrived at Brighton on Thursday. Lady Hartland has engaged apartments at the York Hotel, and is daily expected. The StocAport Advertiser says that the Lancashire Papers that have lowered their price to 4d. have refused to deliver them to their customers as heretofore, unless paid extra for the delivery. It is st ated that 32 new provincial papers have been already published, and that prospectuses of upvmrds of 40 others have been put forth. Several of the country Jour nals, which usually published on Wednesdays, postponed their publication until Thursday (the 15th), in order to mail them_ selves of the reduction in the stamp duty. We have already spoken of the existence of a spe cies of influenza amongst horses in various parts of the coun try, and that it had in some places been attended by very se rious effects. We are sorry to say the malady is norr pre vailing here in rather a severe degree, and that several horses (in two or three instances highly valuable ones) have-died under its influence. The disorder exhibits itself in the form of a swollen throat, with inflammation of the lungs, and un less promptly attended to, fatal results are almost certain to f o ll ow .— Worcester Herald. Captain Jeffrey of the Glasgow police had had forty shopkeepers and hawkers before the Police Court for using unjust weights. F r aud , by means of light weight, it seems,' has been carried on to a very g r eat extent. Of the forty, there were fined by Bailie Gourlay th ree s h op k eepers, two of hem in the sum of one guinea each, and one in fifteen shillings, for having their whole sets of weights light, and their beams unjust. A number of others were fined fro m 2 s. 6 d . to los. for having single weights too light. The fines altogether amounted to 11/. , and the unjust weights were all confiscated. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. (Extracts from the French Papers.) The 118 African prisoners of war taken by General Bu geaud, lodged in a barrack of the suburb of St. Lazara, a Marseilles, are divided into two equal camps ; in the one are the Bedouins, or natives of the Atlas, and in the other the Moors. The strictest surveillance is required to prevent them fighting with one another. The authorities have adopted the wise plan of imprisoning on these occasions whomever is the aggressor. The Moors are docile and grateful for any attention paid them, but the Bedouins pre serve their natural savageness, and are not sensible of good treatment. They seldom appear in the streets.—Courrier Francais. M. Senilhas, a chief of battalion of the staff, who had succeeded Colonel St. Yon, as French commissioner at the bead-quarters of General Cordova, has been ordered to return to France. It is not yet known whether the Go vernment will appoint another officer in his place.—Couk- Tier Francais. Letters from Lyons of the 20th inst. announce " that a considerable fall, amounting almost to a panic, had taken place in the price of silks. It was attributed to the scarcity of money, which has of late been felt in that city. Discount is very high, and obtained with difficulty. The principal cause of this crisis is owing to the delay of the merchants from the United States in forwarding large remittances due to our commercial houses, and perhaps also, but merely for a time, to the obligation under which the founders of the bank are to pay in their share of the capital (2,000,000 f.) on the Ist of Oetober."—Courrier Francais. PARIS, SEPT. 24.—1 t is affirmed that M. Guizot, in a memorial presented to the King yesterday, has endeavoured to convince his Majesty that the present Chamber has ex isted long enough, and that it had a tendency to seek po pularity at the risk of the Crown. Our new organization, says M. Guizot, requires appropriate instruments ; it can do nothing as it is, and may serve the cause of anarchy by blindly following the recollections of July. But the prin cipal grounds on which the Minister supports his conside ration for a speedy and immediate dissolution of the Cham ber is the certainty that the Legitimatists of the West and the South will take part in the elections, and will repair to their Colleges. All the youth of the West, who, being offended or implicated in the troubles of La Vendee, had refused to take any part in the elections, have manifested now their intention of attending them. Ac cording to the Minister, the directors of the committees in favour of this opinion have received positive instructions, and even orders, from Prague, to refrain from any alliance with the popular party ; so that there will be no longer any reason to apprehend those monstrous alliances which have afflicted the country. Such, it is said, is the affair which now engrosses the Council. M. Mole is not for the dissolution, but M. Gui zot seems to have found the secret of the conventions, which the Palace would wish to rally. The memorial is drawn up in this sense. We are assured that his Majesty has not expressed his opinion on the subject, either to the author of the memorial, or to any of his colleagues. The question must soon come before the Council.—Journal d a Commerce, Sept. 25. GERMANY. FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, SEPT. 6.—Since the passage of Enueri Effendi, Secretary to the Turkish Legation at. Vienna, through Belgrade, it is reported there that be brought to Prince Milosch an organic statute, approved by the Courts of Petersburgh and Constantinople, which lays down the new rights of the Servian nation, on the same footing as the Constitution of Wallachia. This is believed in Belgrade to be quite certain, and it is affirmed that an assembly of the principal persons will soon be convoked. According to the reports of the Paella of Bosnia to the Pacha of Belgrade all was quiet at Sarageno on the 27th August. In the Herzogotvina Ali Paella had dismissed the greater part of his troops, on being called upon by the Vizier to do so. But the serious insurrection of the other Chiefs continued. ROME, SEPT. 6.—A judicial edict, published in the Diario to-day, and issued at the instance of the Count of Survilliers (Joseph Buonaparte), the Prince of Canino (Lucien Buonaparte), and the Count of St. Lea (Louis Buonaparte), and the Prince of Montfort ; the Countess Leppona (widow of Murat), the Countess Buciocchi, Camesala, and her husband, and the Marquis Ludovico Polenziani, are summoned to Rome to be present at the opening of the will of Madame Letitia Buonaparte. STOCKHOLM, SEPT. 16.—The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry and Count Suchtelar, are gone by the steam-boat to St. Petersburgh. M. Clary, the Queen's brother, has returned from his tour to Norway and the northern provinces as far as Fornea. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 19.—1 t seems that the diminished consumption of brandy in the United States, in consequence of the formation of temperance societies, has already caused a considerable increase in the consumption of colonial pro duce, especially coffee and sugar ; for the rise in the price of sugar is probably to be ascribed in a great measure to the increased consignment of sugar to North America, which are made even from European ports. We have learnt by accounts from Rio Janeiro, that the North Ame ricans buy up almost all the coffee there at such high prices, that it would be incurring a loss to send that article from that port to Europe. Ships bound to Hamburg and Eng land, which had nearly their full cargoes, could not even get a few hundred bags to complete them. The Ame ricans freight this summer ships of all nations at Rio Janeiro, among them many Danish vessels, and pay higher freights to the United States than are usually paid to Europe.—Hamburg Papers, Sept. 23. BUENOS AYRES. We have Buenos Ayres papers to the IGth July, from which we subjoin the following : " The accounts by the Montevideo journals, from the Brazilian province of Rio Grande, state that, on the 30th ult., a bloody affair took place between the forces of Col. Bento Manuel, and those of Bento Gonzalves. It seems that Bento Manuel had under his command 700 men, Brazilian Government troops, and sought to surprise Gon zalves ; but the latter had information of his coming, and was prepared to meet him, and defeated him with consi derable slaughter. Two armed vessels belonging to the Revolutionists, after six hours' fighting, had taken two schooners of the Brazilian Government, and drove a barque on shore. The Revolutionists in the province of Rio Grande seemed to be increasing in strength, and threatened more and more the town of Rio Grande. To counteract the above, a battalion that garrisoned Puerto Alegre rose against the authorities placed there by the revolutionists, and with the aid of a colony of 800 Germans and the Na tional Guard, deposed the Government, and proclaimed the lawful President.

We have received Quebec papers to the 20th August We have the following from Upper Canada : " During the recent political discussions in the lower pro vince, some of the papers on both sides often alluded to the probability of Canada being incorporated into the United States as an independent member of the Union. The Ra dical press contemplates the probability of such an event taking place with pleasure. In this province there are but few who would directly favour any such change in our po litical relations ; even several members of the majority in the late Assembly would oppose it." M. POLIGNAC AND HIS FELLOW PRISONERS AT gentleman lately returned to Paris who had been sojourning some weeks with his relatives at St. Quentin, within a few miles of Ham, and who had frequent opportuni ties during his stay of some weeks of visiting the chateau. He declares that at the time of his departure, on Friday last, nothing had publicly transpired as to the liberation of the State prisoners ; but, on the contrary, " hope long deferred" appeared to create almost despondency amongst them and their numerous friends. The deepest commiseration was ex pressed on their behalf amongst all classes, not only of the inhabitants of the vicinity of Ham, but in remote parts of France, many persons coming very considerable distances to bear personal testimony of their respect. He adds, that stash is the general feeling, that those who demanded their heads at the time of the " Three days of July " would now be the first to sign a petition for their liberation. The Commandant, Colonel Delpire, granted every indulgence to the prisoners in receiving visiters, and in other respects, as far as was consis tent with their safe custody. Polignac occupied himself with teaching his sons, one of whom is 12, the other 10, with bear hi s reading and music. He has now been confined in the same prison (including the period of his imprisonment at the first to indisposition,c) for the space of 17 years.

The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 15 minutes past Three o' Clock. e L 3 :-; tiAt fr--- ti m • t • I • 6 7) LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 27, 1836. In the Number of the " Quarterly Review " just published, there is an article entitled the " Last Ses sion," which deserves attention, not from any sophis tical ingenuity it manifests, and still less from its vigour or novelty of thought and argument, but simply from the subdued and desponding tone in which it is writ ten. It is throughout a confession of weakness and sheer despair, which we must confess we were not pre pared to expect from such a reckless, red-hot Conser vative Journal as the " Quarterly." Instead of cheer ing up the saddened spirits of his party by an adroit show of bravado, the Reviewer contents himself with goihg over the same ground that Lord LYNDHURST has already trodden—namely, recapitulating the events of the last session as they were influenced by the Upper House ; but this not in his Lordship's con fident, devil-may-care fashion, but in a whin ing, lame, crest-fallen spirit, as if they were rather to be apologised for than defended. In fact, the whole article betrays a consciousness of an inde fensible cause, and a lurking feeling of regret that the House of Peers should ever have been induced to place itself in such a false position, as that it can neither re treat nor advance with- safety. In his opening para graph the Reviewer hazards a remark which in a Re former would be characteristic and appropriate enough, but in a Conservative is inapposite, and indeed inex plicable. He says, "we have endeavoured to show from general analogy and historical experience, that in any frame of Government capable of uniting liberty with stability, the supreme power of the State cannot be safely vested in one body." This is a strictly correct hypothesis ; and is one of the many reasons which induce us to advocate Peerage Reform. As at present constituted, the government of the State is directly " vested in one body," and this " one body" is the House of Lords. Does any one attempt to deny this ? Let him look at the irresponsible do mination claimed and exercised by the titled Tory Oli garchy during the last Session. Of what use was it that the country, through its liberal majority in the Commons, was anxious to secure to Ireland the be nefits of Municipal Reform—that petitions after peti tions were sent up from all quarters in its favour;--the House of Lords was against the boon ; and the peo ple and their Parliamentary representatives were alike compelled to give way. Does not this striking fact shoW—whatever theoretical Conservatives may allege to the contrary—that the Government of the State is distinctly vested in one body," whose " abso lute Shall" there must be no gainsaying ; whose decrees are immutable and irreversible as those of the Medes and Persians ? On minor legislative points, we grant the other branches of the State may be allowed to have a voice, and exercise an authority ; but certainly in no instance where the whims and prejudices of their Lordships are concerned. In such a case they are omnipotent ; and take special care to let it be felt and seen that they are so. How long is this irresponsible, predominant influence to be permitted to continue un checked ? Is Reforni still to be adjourned to the Greek Calends—still to fly, like the visible horizon, before us—a thing to be pursued, but never to be grasped ? Impossible ! The Reforms we have so long struggled for, we must gain, be the risk to the House of Lords what it may ; and it is evidently a conviction of this unpalatable truth that has caused the Reviewer to in dulge in such a tame, lachrymose strain as pervades his article on the " Last Session." The Most Noble the Marquis of CHANDOS has been holding his annual jollification with his " tenants at will" at Aylesbury. • On such an occasion it was to be expected that the " Farmer's friend"—as the Noble Marquis has, we believe, dubbed himself— would tell the country folks all about the mishap that befell him and them in the House of Commons last Session. It was about this time last year, if we recollect right, that the " agricultural agitation" was set on foot, which was to produce such a harvest of good things for the farmers, provided they entered into it heartily. They performed their part of the agreement faithfully. They punctually obeyed the calls of their masters, summoning them to attend meet ings, sign petitions, and do every thing else that they were told was for the good of the cause. They have, therefore, a natural anxiety, and some little right, to know how it happened that all. their labour was in vain, and all their hopes ended in moonshi ne . Accordingly,p the Nobl e M arqu i s, on his health beingl n a drank , a pplies himself t o th e tas k -- b y no means a p explaining th e causes of the mis carriage, and the failure of his own magnificent pro st a one—of pro phecies, under the modest guise that " it would not be inopportune on his part to state a few opinions in re spect to matters that concerned them all, identified as those opinions were with the agricultural interests of the country." This exordium was calculated to arrest the attention of the audience—the Marquis has studied Qui NTILIAN--the farmers sat with open mouths conticuere omnes intentique ora tenebant—when their ears were greeted with the following oracular intelli gence :—" Previous to the meeting of Parliament, the feeling of the country was decidedly in accordance with the fact that agricultural distress existed to an alarm ing extent, and the assembling of Parliament was looked to with great anxiety, in the hope that some measure would be devised by which that distress could be alleviated." Now this is about as poetical a de scription as we have stumbled upon for a considerable time. We venture to affirm that even the thaw-bacons of Buckinghamshire must have seen through the hoax when they were called upon to bolt so bouncing a statement as this. Not only was the feeling of the country not decidedly in accordance with the fact here assumed ; but it is matter of notoriety that neither the feeling nor the fact had any existence except in the minds of the landlords. If the landlords consider themselves " the country" as the tailors of Tooley street called themselves " the people of England," then indeed, but not otherwise, can it be said that the feeling of the country was in accordance with the Noble Marquis's fact ; and as to the fact itself, we beg to ask the Marquis of CHANDOS why his Select Agricultural Committee broke down so lamentably ? Simply because the evidence failed to establish the fact —the all-important fact—upon, the faith of the exis tence of which the landed interest, by their agitation, had goaded the Government into a compliance with their demands. If there be one thing more clearly established than another, by the evidence laid before the Committee, it is the total absence of anything like general distress. Nor can the Noble Marquis, and those who adopt his views, be allowed to impugn this evidence, as they did that brought forward in 1833, on the ground that it was the evidence of corn-factors and others, whose interests were opposed to those of the agriculturists. In the present case we have the almost exclusive testimony of practical agriculturists, to bear us out in our assertion, that there was not general agricultural distress. We have received letters and papers from Lisbon of the 12th inst., and others of a more recent date are hourly expected. At six o'clock on the evening of the 10th, her Majesty the QUEEN, with his Highness the PRINCE ROYAL, proceeded to the Municipal Chamber, and swore to the Constitution of 1820. On her way she is reported to have shed tears, and to have appeared greatly distressed. Her MAJESTY'S previous acceptance of the Constitution was at two o'clock P. M., the same day, when it was presented for her signature by Count LUMIA RES and Viscount DE SA DA BA N DEIRA, in the Audience Chamber of the Palace of Necessidades. Her MAJESTY o*Cted to the form in which her acceptance of the Constitution was drawn up, inasmuch as she was not a free agent. She fur ther observed, that having sworn to maintain the Charter, she objected upon conscientious grounds to to take the oath then proposed, but that she would abide by the decision of the Cortes. The two noblemen who acted as the organs of the Con stitutionalists, roundly asserted that a delay of a few hours, or even the semblance of hesitation, would endanger her life. Several Foreign Ministers, includ ing Lord HOWARD DE WALDEN, Baron VAN DE WEYER, Count REVENTLOW, Count ST. PRIEST, and M. M A CEDO, were present at this painful inter view between the QUEEN and her Ministers, and finally entered their formal protest against the violence offered to the will of the SOVEREIGN. The British Ambassador appeared highly incensed, and offered her MAJESTY a safe reception on board his Britannic MAJESTY'S ship Hastings, provided she would pre fer leaving the capital till public order would be re stored. This offer she declined, but the Ministers fearing that she might change her determination, and take refuge on board a British man-of-war, took the precaution to oblige her MAJESTY to accept the Constitution in the Town-Hall, at six o'clock the same evening. There was not the slightest manifes tation of popular disorder in the capital, during these extraordinary proceedings. The greater part of the people were as passive in the affair as if it related to the government of a colony in the Moon. Whatever therefore Foreign Ministers may think of the Constitution, there is at present little chance of its being immediately abolished. The troops and National Guards are to a man staunch Constitutionalists, and they are in reality the nation. As for the mass of the industrious rural population, they care not three straws whether they live under the Constitution or the Char ter. All they want is repose, and a moderate system of taxation. The following is a copy of the document presented to the QUEEN for her signature, by Count LUMIARES and Viscount DE SA DA BANDEIRA on the 10th, and which provoked the Protest of the Foreign Minis ters present on that occasion. The words objected to by the QUEEN are printed in italics : " Having concurred with the representations made to me by a great number of citizens, and taken into consideration the other clear demonstrations of the national opinion in favour of the re-establishment of the political Constitution of the Mo narchy of the 23d of September, 1822, with such modifica tions as circumstances may render necessary therein, I have thought fit to declare that Constitution to be in vigour, and to order the convocation, under the forms thereof, of the General Cortes of the Portuguese nation, to whose Deputies are granted, besides their ordinary faculties, all the powers re quisite for effecting the modifications in the said Constitution which the before-mentioned Cortes may judge proper. Thus the Minister and Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment is to have the present decree understood, and to cause it to be executed, proposing to me forthwith the measures neces sary for the prompt taking of the oath to the Constitution and the assembling of the Cortes. " THE QUEEN. " MANOEL DA SILVA PASSOS. " Palace of the Necessidades, Sept. 10, 1836." The New Cabinet is completed, but the appoint ments had not been officially announced in the Gazette up to the afternoon of the 12th instant. They are as follows :--. Presidency of the Council and War—Count De LumIAREs ; Home Department—MANOEL DE SILVA PASSO3; Grace and Justice—MANUEL Lo- PEZ VIEIRA ; Finance—Viscount DE SA DA BAN DEIRA ; Foreign Affairs--Senhor BRAENcAmP ; Marisa and Colonies—ANToNio CIESAR DE VAS CONCELLOS CORREA. The whole strength of this Cabinet consists in the attachment of its Members to the Constitution. The persons of whom it is composed are more notorious for their violent opposition speeches than for any spe cific services they have yet rendered their country. The Viscount DE SA DA BANDEIRA is the only Member of the present Government who held office in Portugal since the accession of Queen DONNA MARIA. The Cortes will meet in November. In the mean time all functionaries throughout the king dom will be compelled, under penalty of forfeiting their situations and offices, to accept the Constitution which has already been solemnly proclaimed in Villa Franca, Almeda, and several other towns of lesser note. The QUEEN was indisposed on the evening of the 12th, in consequence, as was reported, of the fatigue and an xiety she had undergone on the two preceding days. The PRINCE ROYAL was silent and sullen—in fact a gloom pervaded everything but the faces of the populace. The Paris Papers of Sunday received this day con tain some intelligence of importance. According to the Gazette de France the hermetical blockade of Switzerland has already commenced. Letters from Geneva received in Paris, state that the movement of a large body of troops towards the Helvetian frontier was observed in the direction of Chambery. Austria and Russia had signified to the Directory that they were prepared to second the course adopted by France. All this has been done, observes our liberal Gallic Contemporary, to draw attention from the movements now going forward in Spain and P or t uga l— or i n ot h er words, to keep the eyes of England from being con stantly fixed on the Quadruple Treaty. The crooked policy of the King of the FRENCH will soon surround him with enemies who are a thousand times more to be feared than the FIESCHIS and ALIBAUDS whom the police are so busy in arresting. These enemies are no other than the brave people of France, who will not long remain passive spectators of the disgrace with which a son of PHILIPPE EGALITE is covering the national escutcheon. Since the downfall of the late Cabinet the KING is hourly losing ground. He has no confidence in those about him ; and his Ministers are well enough acquainted with the tenure by which they hold office, to be sensible of their own degra dation. Count MOLE and His MAJESTY hate each other most cordially ; and M. MARTIN (Du NORD) would keep his bed for six months to come, if thereby he might have even a chance of es caping from the infliction of a seat at the Council Board. The people look on with apparent indiffe rence ; but notwithstanding the laudatory strain in which the Debats speaks of their loyalty, we have good reason to know that thousands of the most peaceable of them are ready at a moment's notice to effect ano ther revolution. They now perceive that they were betrayed by the KING from the very outset; that his MAJESTY never intended to observe the conditions imposed by the Charter of 1830 ; and that to obtain regal and imperial alliances for his children, he would gladly accept the assistance of Russia towards &- Wishing an absolute despotism in France. Their ap parent indifference is the result of extreme caution. They know how fatal a failure might prove to France ; and therefore they will be careful to remain inactive till the fitting opportunity. When that moment pre sents itself—and it cannot, in the very nature of things, be far distant—a revolution as eaceful as that which placed LOUIS PHILIPPE on thr throne, will hurl him as far from it as is CHARLES X. M. GUIZOT has recommenced his career as Mi nister of Public Instruction by the establishment of eleven new primary schools, of which one is for the instruction of the children of Jews, and six for Pro testants. Letters from Bayonne to the 22d instant, have been received. They speak in very favourable terms of the improved condition of the British Legion. In a letter addressed to our Contemporary, the Chronicle, by a re gular correspondent, under date of the 21st inst., we find the following gratifying intelligence, which we hasten to submit to our readers : " Mendizabal's appointment as Minister of Finance, has already produced a most salutary effect in restoring confidence to those parties on whose assistance to the Spanish Govern ment, at the present moment, the fate of the country mainly depends. I mean those connected with it in a financial point of view. There is now little room for doubt that— within the next fortnight—the army will be almost en tirely paid up, and their future payment secured, while, already, the completion of the requisite contracts, for ra tioning and supplying of warlike stores for the ensuing six months may be announced. In fact, confidence in the Government is on all sides springing up, and unless the people themselves, by any acts of violence or oppression, destroy the efforts of the Government to secure this much desired attri bute, all must go well for the Constitutional cause. Mendi zabal, justly elated by the triumph he has achieved, throws himself heart and soul into the business ; and respected as he is to a degree, every effort he may make to free his country will be warmly backed by the great mass of the people." * SEVEN O'CLOCK.—I have just seen an official communica tion of the arrangements made for the,payment of the Legion. They have been agreed to by Mendizabal, on the part of the Spanish Government; and Colonel de Lancey and Deputy Commissary-General Grindley, on the part of the Legion. 25,0001. is to be paid down (that is. the sum for which the Lieutenant-General has already received an order to draw); 16,000/. by a Treasury order, dated Ist of October ; 16,000/. more by a like order, dated Ist November; and 15,000/. by a like order, dated 15th of November. For the due payment of these Treasury orders, Mendizabal gives his pledge. Thus the Legion will obtain in this payment 72,0001. We have no doubt but that as soon as General RODIL shall have taken the field in person against the rebels, the Commander-in-chief will afford the troops under General EVANS a fair opportunity of signalizing themselves. Betrayed by CORDOVA, and exposed to the constant attacks of the Carlists, the British Legion instead of acting on the offensive, was compelled for want of arms, provisions, and military stores, to coop itself up in San Sebastian under shelter of the guns of his MAJESTY'S steamers. Dis affection, disorder, and a temporary neglect of all dis cipline was the consequence ; and with a neglect of discipline disappeared that respect for, and confidence in, the officers, so essential to the very existence of an efficient military force. Latterly, however, General EVANS has succeeded in restoring the spirit of disci pline in the corps : and the prospects held out to the men by the new Spanish Ministry have had the effect of re-kindling all; their earliest hopes of ulti mate success. As soon as RODIL can make a di version in their favour, he will ; and from that moment we augur a better fate for our countrymen than they have yet experienced in their Constitutional expedition. We beg to direct attention to the copy of a confi dential despatch from Count NESSELRODE to Prince LIEVEN, dated January 9th, 1827, which we have copied from the last Number of the Portfolio. Want of room is our excuse for not dwelling upon it at a length commensurate with its importance ; but per sons of even the most ordinary perception will easily observe, without any direction from us, how strongly the subject of this despatch confirms our repeated as sertion, that nothing does or can escape the vigilance of Russian diplomacy. It also proves the great ex tent of the moral influence of the British Government, when its foreign affairs are conducted by such master spirits as the late Mr. CANNING. Only fancy an Emperor of RUSSIA trembling in his palace as he peruses the speech made by a British Minister in the House of Commons Nor was the Imperial trepida tion, mentioned in the despatch, the result of violent anger, or strong contempt. It was fear—and fear only that affected the CZAR'S nervous system. Russia was never more conscious of her own weakness than she was then ; and the caution with which NESSEL RODE seeks to convey a menace to the British Minis ter proves that his object was rather to conciliate and cajole the Cabinet, to save appearances, and to soothe the vanity of CANNING, than to provoke a re-avowal of his opinions. If England were but true to herself— if she only understood the power which she derives from her geographical position—and if her affairs were only entrusted to the management of statesmen of liberal and comprehensive views conversant with the state of Europe, she might bid defiance to the intrigues of a whole conclave of continental sovereigns. Brussels and German Papers have been received Lis morning. Extracts from them will be found under Le head " Foreign Intelligence." Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, a number of workmen commenced draining the immense body of water from the Serpentine River, on the Kensington-garden side, prepa ratory to cleansing it, and improving the bottom. The novel system of draining the water causes many person s to stop to v iew it, viz., a numb er o f men arc stationed on planks on each side of the dam, at the new stone bridge, and with la r ge wooden scoops, each containing nearly twelve gallons of w ater is emptied into the river below the dam by three men to each scoop. At present the water in the river below the bridge is (as it has been all the summer), considerably below the sluices. POLICE INTELLIGENCE• (THIS DAY.) HATTON-GARDEN. v e rS SHOCKING DEPRAVITY.—John Lewis, a boy no t ten . g of age, was brought b e f ore Mr. BENNETT, charg ed bY 1 mother with stealing a blanket and pledging it for Is. She stated that her object in bringing forward the present charge was to have the boy put in some place of c onfinem ent, to prevent if possible his present habits of life. ith Mr. BENNETT said it was no t i n his power to CO MP w Y her wish, unless she pressed the charge against him and asked her w she intended at ? The mother hether (hesitating) said she hardly knew what to do with him; it was quite impossible for him to rema in at hoMee: for there was not a thin.- in the house but what he would tak and added, that he had' been imprisoned for two months smoe, short time ago, for stealing a pair of boots off a and selling them ; but that had not the desired effect. 6 ._ 1 „ said she had tried all in her power to prevent him, by bear ti s i him, and shutting him up by himself, and keeping birn adderwit his clothes; but he always contrived to escape. She li d that very recently he took the counterpane off her bed, and child's fle sold it, and with the proceeds he indulged himself by going Sadler's Wells Theatre, where he was found with dap licate of the property which he had pledged. Under th ese circum ti; stances, she implored the Magistrate to do something 111 him, to keep him from further mischief. w as to Mr Pt . ......ENNETT said the only thing that he could do be send him before a jury, if she persisted in the charge; IL o f would detain him until F r id a y t o give her an opportung considering whether sh e wou ld or no t, and directed Wadding' ton the gaoler to keep him locked up by himself. TOWN-HALL. A fl a ck Two OF A TRADE CAN NEVER AGREE.—Margare, .„ Alderiar ni and her mother appeared this morning before Mr. VENABLES, to answez the complaint of Margaret Jones. Fr 0 , the statement of the complainant, it appeared that the young. Mack wat always annoying her, and doing a ll he could to provoke her. Mr. Alderman VENABLES—WeII, Miss Mack, wh at have you to say to this? iast Miss Mack—Why, Sir, I think I am more sinned ag a I do than sinning. She annoys me a great deal more thal:there her—it was only the other day she called after me, t h a t 1 s possiblf goes Uncle's Dolly," and other such names, meapiagr h e r was no better than I ought to be, and that I lived 11, 4 " ba t uncle. Li— Now, the r ea l truth is this, we are both in ul e „,i e , line, and she is vexed because I ge t more to do from he r who is a hat manufacturer, than she does.
