We adverted yesterday, though very briefly, to Tin elaborate article, of upwards of sixty pages, in the Quarterly Review, just published, against the proposed plan for a uniform penny postage. We like the article for the distinct proof it affords of the unyielding hatred of the Tories to every kind of social improvement. Like any other passion their hatred suggests nothing but the arguments favourable to itself, and suggests them in a multi plicity, and with a keenness which make us sen _ sible how extremely ingenious is hatred as well as lore in adding to its own blindness. Multiplied and keen, however, as are the objections brought together in sixty-one pages, the hatred is as lively at the end as at the commencement, for the author is then sensible that he has omitted a vast number of minor considerations. Indeed the pas sion seems to have grown and strengthened by the thoughts it suggested ; and if the writer begins doubtful, lukewarm, and hesitating, he ends bY a bold avowal of hostility. Where there is a will there is a way, says the proverb, and the Tory will, being always strongly bent on resisting all social improvements, never fails to find ways, at least to justify its selfish • and disgusting inisan . • throp y. fis W e have no incli na ti on t o f o ll ow t h e R ev i ewer 1 '''"ugh all his windings and doublings. We pass ever hi s , t cause the best judges have decided that written c ornmunication is a most unfit object of taxation lii% attempt to ccnvict Mr. HILL of error, be , Ouse two tables composed of different elements, and br oug ht toget h er f or diff erent purposes, do not I agree in their results, only shows that he is a very slovenly student, or writes with an intention to de ceive. His proof that the Post-office revenue, from 1801 to 1815, doubled, and then became sta tionary, and so continued to the present time, instead of telling against Mr. HILL, is one of the strongest corroborative circumstances yet brought under ' public notice of the correctness of I Mr. HILL'S views. The Revi keeps the ' fact out of sight that an increase ewer of ld. on all 1 posta ges a b ove sd. was made in 1813, and the Post-office Revenue, therefore, in the subse quent twenty years, instead of remaining stationary, ought, were the rate of the tax not too high, to have increased considerably. Neither is it worth while to notice the poor ridicule with which the writer treats a phrase of Mr. DILLON, or a piece of phi losophy of Mr. SIMPSON. We can only pity the man, the b a d ness of whose Tory heart so perverts a somewhat sharp and vigorous intellect, that he fixes on the stray words of a (perhaps indiscreet) partizan to turn into ridiculea grand scheme of social improve zne'lt, which tends at once to cultivate the best erections, to promote science and art, and to ex tend and enrich commerce. The word-quibbler, p w ho se e k s i n suc h materials for objections to a uni form penny po s t age , may, when surrounded, with Similar quibblers, set the table in a roar, but on a question involving the best interests of society he is " more worthy of attention th an any other j es t er 4 l'd buffoon. We pass by all these, the sneers against reform, and the thousand objections on matters of detail to which the 61 pages are devoted, t° say a few words on " the justice of a uniform tt , , 'b— of postage, and the sufficiency of that rate ~': , Log only a penny.' !

The CourrierFrancais asserts that the KING and Marshal SOULT are in favour of setting the Pretender at liberty ; although the Marshal is so far in favour of yielding to the wishes of England, whose right to interfere he frankly ad mits, as by the quadruple treaty she bears half the engagements of France, as to express a readiness to delay the passports till the telegraph announces the first defeat of CABRERA by the army under Es- PARTERO. This shameful willingness on the part of Lours PHILIPPE to sacrifice the repose of con stitutional Spain, is attributed to an anxiety to con ciliate the goodwill of Austria, whose leaning towards England gives umbrage to certain petty French politicians, whose minds are too grovelling, and whose views are too contracted to permit them to comprehend any question of foreign policy in all its bearings. The correspondent of a Morning Contemporary, writing from Bordeaux under date of the 13th instant, states that some Carlist papers have just fallen into the hands of the French Go vernment, which may have the effect of very mate rially modifying the future measures of the Cabinet with respect to the Pretender and his family. One of these papers is entitled the " Re port of a conversation between a powerful Monarch of the North (the Autocrat of all the Russias), and a Carlist Envoy," and from the outline of its contents given by the writer, will prove anything but palatable to the vanity of the CITIZEN KING and his Cabinet. " You tell me," said the Emperor NICHOLAS, addressing the Carlist Emis sary, " that you were well received at Vienna, and that Prince METTERNICH gave you every hope of assistance. The Austrian Government is not to be trusted. Vulnerable on the side of Italy, Aus tria is afraid of France, and of her ideas; she de clined joining me against that country in 1830 ; and unless I succeed in arraying the whole of the rest of Monarchical Europe against the invasions of Jacobinism, Austria will stand aloof. The throne of Prussia is now occupied by an old marl, who cannot be awakened to a sense of the danger with which Royalty is, and has been menaced ever since 1830. His spirits have been broken by adeetsity, and he wishes to spend the remainder of his life in repose. His Ministers have betrayed me and are now on the best terms with France. Don CARLOS, and the principle which we defend, have nothing to expect from Prussia until the Prince Royal be seated on the throne. In him I have every confidence : c'est tine bonne epee.

LORD EBRINGToN.—A meeting of the inhabitants of Exeter was held in the Guildhall, on Thursday, for the purpose of agreeing to an address of congratulation to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, on his successful go vernment of the sister island and his temporary return to his native county. The Mayor was in the chair, arid the meeting was attended by all parties without distinc tion. The address having been unanimously agreed to, it was signed by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting, and a resolution passed that the Chief Magistrate should communicate with Lord Ebrington, in order that his Lordship might signify the time and place far receiv ing it. We understand that Sir Erlward Codrington is to be appointed to the command at Portsmouth, in the room of Admiral Fleming.

Kmt, and a Mr. Lovell, who is a Lieutenant in the First Re giment of Life Guards. The last named gentleman had got the but end of his gun on one of the seats in the enclosure, and both hands holding the barrels, bearing part of his weight on the same, when, unfortunately, the gun slipped from the chair, the cock of which curie so violently in contact with the edge of the seat that it broke the tumbler of the lock, and the gun went off, and, we regret to state, the charge passed through the under part of the arm and out at the shoulder. He was immediately carried by his friends to the Red House, and in one hour after the accident, Mr. Liston, the sur geon, was in attendance, and also the surgeon of the regiment, Mr. Campbell. The nature of the accident being so high up the arm, it was obliged to be taken out of the socket, which was done in the most skilful man ner. Mr. Lovell now lies at the Red House. Mr. Campbell has not left Mr. Lovell since the accident. He is doing as well as can be expected. to the cause of Legitimacy in France. " I am glad," continues his Imperial Majesty, " to hear so good an account of the Duke of BORDEAUX : for it is scarcely possible that, reared as be has been among priests and fools, he can be qualified to hold the reigns of an empire in these difficult times• The Duke and Duchess of ANGOULEME are worthy private characters, but totally disqualified to wear a crown. The Duke was wrong to assume the title of KING, when h e cou ld not defend it in France with arms in his hands. CHARLES :X. deceived me in the grossest manner, and that was one of the reasons I left him to his fate. On hearing of his intention to set aside the Constitu tional Charter, I sent him one of my Aides-de- Camp to remonstrate against his resolution. I en deavoured to dissuade him, if such was really his determination, from having recourse to violence. I pointed out the various means afforded by the Char ter itself for arriving at his ends. I recommended him not to stop at any sacrifice in order to obtain a majority in the Legislature, and impressed upon him the necessity of proceeding throughout with an appearance of legality. He replied to me that 'the subversion of the Charter had never en tered his head that I had been deceived by the reports of the Liberals' and shortly after wards he published the fatal ordinances ! A nd then remember the cowardly conduct of his parti sans, and behold them now advocating revolutionary principles, by way of serving their cause I The writers of the Gazette de France, of whom von speak so highly, are hypocrites. The inconsistency and cowardice of the partisans of Legitimacy, how ever, must not militate against the principle.

Lord Cloncurry does not coincide with the views of Colonel Torrens, to whom he says— " Suppose an able and dispassionate judge of statistics was to hear the case of two separate islands, one very badly cultivated, and with much waste land, but ex porting immense quantities of human food ; the other well cultivated, but unable, without importation, to feed its inhabitants, for which island would he recommend emigration ?—to whom would he recommend the El Dorado of Australia ?" " My opinion is," he says in another part of his letter, " that Ireland is not o verpeopled—that her pe o pl e h ave been the victims of absenteeism, injustice, and bad government—that under the bad government by which for centuries she was u th e o ppression was in an i nverse of the popula tciornsd—e;hat it was the millions who achieved emancipa tion, and who will, in good time, achieve all we want."

The assault arose out of a disputed possession of a horse: The defendants were ordered to enter into their dill/ tccogniiances, Farden in 100/., and 13 we? and Last in 501. each ; to attend the Court when called upon to receive judgment. ilafah Russell, a female Auctioneer ; eerryini on her profession hi the fashionable neighbourhood of 1-ettim:tat lane, was indicted with assaulting Hannah nyams, the better half of a fishmonger in the same neihbourhood, on the 10th of September last. From the statements of the prosecutrix, it appeared that on the day in question the defendant violently as saulted her, scratched her face, stating at the same time that she should not be satisfied till the blood ran from her like water in the gutter. The defendant denied the assault. Mr. Payne conducted the ease for the prosecution, and Mr. Phillips for the defendant. The Jury found the defendant guilty of the assault, but at the same time stated that they considered it had been committed under great provocation. The COURT ordered her to enter into her owtt reeng uizances in the sum of 401., to keep the peace flit twelve months. PORTSMOUTH, OCT 18 —Wind W. to S. W. strong breezes.

LIVERPOOL COT TO N MARKET, FRIDAY,—Our mar ket is still under the influence of unfavourable accounts from consumers, who, it appears, contemplate a recur rence to working short time during the winter months, a circumstance adding to previous gloom, and if carried into effect lessens the hope of improvement in prices. American descriptions and Surats have ruled rather in favour of buyers, notwithstanding the great support de rived from the export demand, which continues good. Full prices are being had for Brazil and Egyptian. For export 2,700 bales American and 12.5 Surats have been taken, and in speculation 2,000 bales of Americans. The business doing to-day is moderate in extent. Accounts received from Guayaquil to the llth Aug. state that all was quiet there at the above date. A treaty of commerce had been concluded between Mr. Cope, on the part of the British Government, and the authorities of the Republic of Equator. Peru was free from political agitation. Arrivals this morning —French mail, and ship letters from Madeira, Calcutta 6th May, and Cape of Good Hope. THE FUNDS. In the Money Market little change has taken place since yesterday. Commercial affairs continue .slack and there is rather a distrust among the commercial com munity. Yesterday afternoon there was no improve ment in the Foreign Exchanges, and had it not been for the support given by Messrs. Baring and Co., who it is supposed are acting for the Bank of England, the exchanges would have been lower. Up to the present time both the British and Foreign Markets remain inactive, with scarce a bargain doing, opting to the great dearth of continental intelligence. The procrastination of the settlement of the affairs in the East, with the difficulty of procuring money for commercial affairs, causes a great dullness for speculat ing in the various funds. Consols, which left off yesterday at 90i i for Money, and for the Account 90i 1, opened at 90i 1 for Money, and for the Account at 90-8- i.

AWFUL NEws.—" It is a matter of great sor row to us to tell the Conservatives that all is going on worse andl worse for them. Every day unques tionably darkens the prospects of Protestantism in this country.

ANOTHEI tITJICIDE AT THE AIONUMEi;t: A second instance of self-destruction by jumpti - gf r p eft the Monument i,o;;+ duce last evening, at 25 mi nut,';s ttast nve o'clock. the tiefigl is named Richard Daniel Hawes, nnd was between 15 and 16 years of a,ge. He was educ a t e d a t th e St. A nn ' s Societe School, Krixton„ and was lately employed as errand-boy at Mr. Hodson's, bookseller, Wimpole-street. Jenkins, the . , keeper of the MOnntrrent, states that a part,'.', consisting of two ladies and two ge6tlemen, ascended the Montt rwmt at half-past four, and that tNe , lad passed with thew, pa ing for himself the usual fee. The keeper thought he belonged to the party. He had soniething under his arm wrapped up ire a handkerchief, which af terwards turned out to be a Bible, presented to him as a prize for good conduct by the Society at whose ex pense he had been educated. In a short time after wards two eountry4ooking ladies ascended the column, and the party of four that first scent up with the I,oy descended without saving any thing to the keeper: The two country ladies then came down, and observed to the keeper that there " was only a boy up now." Pie replied, " Ah, poor fellow, he's • down," for whilst the two ladies were descending lie had jumped from off the railing of the terrace. This was evident from there being no foot prints on the para pet outside the railing. The body fell in Monument yard, on the same side as that of Miss Noyes, but somewhat more to the northward. The spot on which it fell is nine paces from outside the basement railing. The body was taken to the dead house, London-bridge, and examined by Mr. Croft, the surgeon, who found that the hack part of the skull was completely broken ; from whit+ the brains protruded. Both thighs were broken, and tile spine was fractured. At the time there Wai a numerous troop of boys and girls playing in the yard s and it was a miracle the body did not fall on some of them. Several persons saw the body in its descent, and they say it came down feet foremost until within half way down the column, when it turned over and fell flat on the back. In the lad's pocket were found half-a-crown and two half-pence, and he nay dressed in a dark•coloured cloth jacket and trowsers and blue cap. On examining the Bible, which was found in the gallery, inside the rail ing, several of its pages were turned down at passages referring to death. The two last ladies that descended stated to the ward beadle that when they left the boy he was standing with his hack leaning near the gallery door, and intently perusing the sacred volume. Mr. Bleaden, in whose possession the Monument told the reporter that the secretary of the St. Ann's School recognised the boy, and mentioned where his pa rents lived, but owing to their having lately changed their residence the unfortunate occurrence could not be communicated to them before late last night. The crowd about the Monument was even greater than that which the catastrophe of Miss Moyes gathered together. FURTHER PA RTI CUL AR S. In the pockets of the deceased was a small piece of paper, with the name of• Mr. Dale, surgeon, Holborn hill ; on making inquiries of that gentleman, he stated that a lad called on him answering the description of de ceased, on the previous evening for a scull and some books, which were left there by a late assistant of his, and he also recognised the writing as that of the said assistant, who now resides at Mr. Al'Donald's surgeon, Princes -street, where, according to the statement made by the latter gentleman, the unfortunate youth had been living for some time past, but he had left his service on Friday morning. The deceased has been in the employ of Mr. M'Donald for several months past, and he states that the young man was of a very singular disposition, and seemed always to be labouring under great depression of spirits, and could not be persuaded that there was any crime in the act of self-destruction. He left his master's house on Thursday, and remained absent nearly the whole of the day, and could not be persuaded to account for his absence. He must have meditated the rash deed then, as he was observed walking in the immediate vi cinity of the Monument the whole of that day. The young man has, since the death of Miss Noyes, often been heard to express his admiration of the man ner in which she destroyed herself, and has said that he should certainly follow her example, in consequence of its being an easy death, and he seemed to envy the no toriety acquired by the aforesaid young woman. His friends are in very humble circumstances, his mother having, since the death of her husband, been living in the utmost want and wretchedness, and on the melancholy news being conveyed to her she was almost distracted. The inquest, which is appointed for this evening, will be reported in our Second Edition. CORONER'S INQUEST. (THIS DAY.) This morning, at eleven o'clock, an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, the Coroner for Surrey, at the Hero of Waterloo, in the;Waterloo-road, upon the body of a young gentleman, name unknown, who destroyed himself under the following circumstances : Mr. John Molesworth, a gentleman residing in Up per Baker -street, deposed that on Thursday evening, about half past six o'clock, he was at the National Baths, Marsh-gate, Lambeth, bathing in company with a friend of the name of Holland, when he heard some gentlemen shooting in a gallery adjoining. He and his friend dressed themselves, and went into the shooting-gallery, where they saw the deceased with a rifle-pistol in his hand. He held the pistol very carefully with the muzzle pointed upwards. When he was going to fire, witness observing that he held the pistol very awkwardly. Took it ou t of his hands, a nd fi re d i t ° himself, to show him how to hold it. Deceased ordered the man in attendance to load the pistol the next time with more than the usual quantity of powder, as he was going to take a long shot. Deceased then crossed to the opposite side of the gallery, and stood as before, beside one of the pillars which support the roof. Winess was at the time talking to his friend, and did not for a minute or two observe the de cased ; but on hearing the shot he called out to the de ceased, " Sir, have you hit the bull's eye?" Not receiving any answer he went to the end of the gallery. and saw the deceased lying on his back. On going near he heard him breathing. The attendant immediately ran for a doctor, but before he returned the man was dead. After some further evidence of no interest the Jury returned a verdict of " Temporary insanity." The Duke of Leinster bad an opportunity last week of protecting two pretty grisettes from the attack of a furious cow. His Grace was passing through Dame -street, Dublin, when the cow bolted into a ha berdasher's shop, where these two young ladies wene arranging their wares in the manner most likely to at tract customers. The appearance of this novel visitor nearly frightened them into hysterics, and no one seemed inclined to venture in after the cow but the Noble Duke, who, with umbrella in band, fairly backed the intruder into the street ; for, from the narrow form of the shop, it could not turn. The cow scampered off through the streets with a crowd after her ; his Grace walked silently on his way, as if nothing had happened. ANOTHER. EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF GUN POWDER.—The• police on Tuesday afternoon seized no less than 30 casks of gunpowder, which was found 14:VENING COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

MAN SION -HOUSE-(THIS DAY. POCKET PICKING NEAR THE MONUMENT. — The light-fingered gentry were very actively employed last night in attempting to pick the pockets of the idlers who were gazing on the scene of the melancholy catas trophe which had shortly before occurred : but most of their attempts were defeated in consequence of the vigi lance of the officers. One boy, named Powell, who was in company with five or six others, was taken into cus tody by an officer named Fletcher, who observed his hand under a lady's cloak. On searching him the sum of 1/. 4s. was found on his person. He was this morn ing brought before Sir P. Laurie and remanded, having given a very unsatisfactory account of himself. DESTITUTIoN.—John Brown, about 17 years of age, was charged with having stolen a pint pot, the pro perty of Mr. John Winn, of Dockhousc-lane, Thames street. It appeared that the pot was seen sticking out of the prisoner's pocket by a policeman, who was told by the prisoner that he had stolen it, in order that he might be locked up, as he had no place to go to. The boy stated that he belonged to the United States, and had been out of employment for six months. Sir P. LAURIE directed that the boy should be taken care of for the present, until something could be done for him. A female named Bland, who was also in a destitute state, was brought up by a policeman, who had found her wandering about, stating that she intended to drown herself. The poor woman, who was said to be in a deranged state, was removed, in order that further enquiries might be made. GUILDHALL. -(THIS DAY.) SHELTERING FROM THE RAlN.—Curoline Harris was charged with felony. Richard Orslow, of Carey-street, Lincoln's inn -fields, stated that early on Friday morning he took shelter in a court in Chancery-lane, whilst standing there he felt the prisoner's hand in his pocket, and directly after wards missed 4s. and some halfpence. He was half asleep and half awake at the time.—(Laughter.) The prisoner, in her defence, said there was another woman in the passage, and that the complainant had his arm round her waist, and was walking about with her some time, taking liberties. Mr. Alderman HUMPHREY—Did you do so ? i)llComplainant—No, I am too delicate a person for that.—(Great laughter.) Mr. Alderman HUMPHREY discharged the prisoner, cautioning the complainant to be more careful the next time he took shelter from the rain. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—A lad, named Tuck, was charged by Mr. Gibbins, of the Animals' Friend Society, with cruelly beating a donkey yesterday, at Smithfield Market. He was fined as. HATTON-GARDEN.-(THIS DAY.) After the night charges had been disposed of, the tune of the Magistrate was occupied for nearly two hours in adjudicating upon cases of various persons who had been summoned by the parish authorities of Clerken well for non-payment of rates. The number of de faulters amounted to nearly two hundred. William Richardson was charged with stealing three shillings, the property of Mr. Wait. It appeared that the prisoner was in the service of the prosecutor, who is a tallow-chandler and oilman, as shopman and light porter, at a salary of five shillings a week, with board and lodging. The prosecutor had for sometime past suspected him of dishonesty, and yesterday he, in the presence of the other shopman, caused some money to be marked, and put into the till. The prisoner was observed to go to the till, and was afterwards searched, when three of the marked shillings were found on him, the remainder being found in the till. The prisoner, who offered no defence, was fully corn mitted for trial. ROYAL GEORGE.—The result of the explosion in,blowing up the Royal George last Tuesday has been attended with success ; the grea t er p art o f t h e wrec k has been successfully displaced. This morning (Thurs day) her bows were landed at the dockyard. Should the weather continue favourable, the divers fully expect to remove the far greater proportion of the ill-fated ship. —Letter from Portsmouth. ABERNETHY'S LAST MOMENTS.—Poor John Abernethy was facetious to the very last. He exhibited the ruling passion strong in death. A short period before his death his legs became 03dematous ; and upon some one inquiring how he was, he replied, " Why, I am better on my legs than ever ; you see how much stouter they are !" His hobby retained full possession of his mind so the end of his life :—he attributed his disease to the stomach. He said, It is all stomach ; we use our stomach ill when we are young, and it uses us ill when we arc old." It is singular that he left ex press commands that his body should not be opened after his death.—Physic and Physicians. Mr. Feargus O'Connor's Star has the subjoined letter to the working men of England and Scotland : " Fort Robert (Ireland), Monday, Oct. 14. " My Dear Friends,—Here 1 am ; and if I could prevail upon Lord Denman, the Chief Justice, to allow me to remain here for one month, I would defy them all, as they know.

" IMPROVEMENTS IN WOOLWICH DOCKYARD. —lt •has been found expedient to construct an immense new dry dock for steam and other vessels of war in this Government yard, the Admiralty having resolved upon filling up the former intended new dry dock, which, from strong springs, it was found impossible to make available, after an expenditure of upwards of 70,000/. Coffer-dams have been formed on the southern side of the magnificent basin, and an excavation commenced, which is proceeding very favourably, under the superin tendence of an officer of the Royal Sappers and Miners (Lieutenant Dennison), who is attached to the Dock yard, for the purpose of inspecting the new works. The site of the new dry dock has already been excavated twenty feet, and as yet there have not been any springs met with to arrest the progress of the undertaking, which, when completed, will render the basin and docks of Woolwich yard the most commodious in the country. CAPTURE OF RIBBONMEN.—The papers of a Lodge have been seized at Cavan, at the house of a low publican of the name of Brady —the very pests of the country—the papers, we repeat it, are a heap of balderdash ; as far as they can be spelt out, they only mean this, that the confederates are a sort of Friendly Brothers. As to arms, upon which Meg is very por tentous and emphatic, there was an unregistered gun. It is true that Brady had—to their shame be it spoken —been elected by the Cavan people a poor-law guardian. We thought that low public-house keepers had been excluded—if not, they should be hereafter.— Dublin Evening Post. ,Ing at the Inchbdly toll-bar, Townhead, and laid down, w e understand, by a carter, with a request that the toll-keeper should keep his eye upon it till removed by the owner.

The bird was 'healthy, and in fine plumagr: ; the circumstance of its being in the heart of the city, and so late in the season, is worthy of notice. SOMNAMBULISM.—Negretti, an Italian ser vant, whose celebrated history is related by two different i physicians, would rise in hissleep, go into the dining-room, spread a table for dinner, and place himself behind a chair, as if waiting on his master. When in a place with which he was not perfectly acquainted, he was cm barrassed in his proceeding:, and felt about him With his hands ; and sometimes he struck himself against the wall and was severely injured. He sometimes carried about with him a candle, as if to give him light, but when it was taken away and a bottle put in its place, he failed to perceive the difference. Galen says of him self, that he once walked about a whole night in his sleep, till awakened by stumblir , against a s t one w hi c h laid in his way.

Evening Post. CANTON. (From tho Canton Register of March 19.) ST. VINCENT'S BOAT RUN DOWN BY A CHOP BOAT; NINE NIEN DROWNED. STATEMENT OF MR. CHARLES WOOD, CHIEF OFFICER OF THE ST. VINCENT. This is to certify, that I, Charles Wood, chief officer of the ship St. Vincent, left Whampoa Reach on Mon day, 11th March, at 6 A.M., with ten persons and my self, in a boat belonging to the ship, the names as fol lows :—John Smith, boatswain, George Young, Chas. Young, Thomas Connor, Peter Wihiams, Alexander Sykes, John Boston, seamen, and William Goodyear, 0. S. Alfred Harris, and James Barnett, boys, for Can ton, and left that plece at 5 H. SO M. P.M., the men, with the exception of Alexander Sykes, were perfectly sober. When a little more than half way to Whampoa, while pulling fouroars, snd our mainsail set,were run down by a chop or large Chinese boat corning in an opposite earection, and the whole of us Were instantly plunged into the water. I saw two or three of them sink in a very short time ; there were then myself, John Smith, Alfred Harris, and George Young on the boat, and others I cannot name ; the weight of us was too much for her to bear, and she sank from under us ; what fol lowed after I cannot tell, but when I rose again to the surface of the water I found myself alone, till about two minutes after John Smith swam towards me and we again got on the boat, where we remained nearly one hour and a half, when John Smith dropt from the boat and sunk. I remained there a short time longer, and was picked up by a Mandarin boat and taken to Canton, where I arrived at one of the clock on Tuesday morning, and at nine a.m., on the said day while in my bed, Charles Young came into the room. I asked him all particulars, and he told me that as soon as the chop struck the boat he sprang forward caught hold of her and got on board, when he endeavoured all in his power to make them round to and pick the rest of us up, but they refused to do so, and used him very ill ; they al lowed him to remain on board about five minutes, when they stood in shore and threw him out of her. CHARLES WOOD. March 17, 1839. Whampoa Reach. THE PRETENDER AND HIS COURT. (From the Times.) "Don Carlos, ever since his marriage, which was dis approved by all his friends (at least. as untimely), led the most sedentary existence. During ten months he only held two reviews, at one of which he walked arm and-arm with his wife, and never once visited the lines. The most antiquated forms of etiquette were revived at his Court, and strictly enforced. Their Majesties were waited upon by Grandees of Spain ; a Grandee should put on and take off the King's boots ; another laid the dishes on the Royal table and attended the family at its meals. In fact, every absurd custom, which a hundred years ago would have been considered out of date even in Spain, was re-established and rigidly adhered to. The Generals could not obtain access, except by extra ordinary favour, to the apartments of the King. They were desired to consider themselves highly flattered at being admitted into his antechamber, and not being left to wait on the lobby or staircase while common ser vants went in and out, while they, who for six years had been spilling their blood for the King, could not procure admission. The Prince of Schwartzenberg, who was purposely sent by Prince Metternich to inquire into the state of cffairs, never obtained an audience of Don Carlos, and on one occasion only, and by special favour, ho was permitted to wait in his antechamber. " The state of torpor into which Don . Clirlas' . had fallen was nowhere more bitterly deplored than among his friends at head-quarters. The Prince of the As turias himself was kept in the back ground, and Sent to reside in a remote village, under the care of a votet dc chambre and a clergyman. The latter, who was a sensible man, conk'_ not help expressing displeasure that his Royal charge, then in his 21st year, should be con demned to lead an inglorious life, when his presence among the troops might be useful to the cause. A Frenchman at last bethought himself of a fiction to try and shame Don Carlos out of his inaction. He drew up for the purpose a jounice of the Pretender, which was published some months since in La Alode, and all the legitimate journals of France. The Prince was repre sented in the article as devoting his whole time to the affairs of the army and state, and displaying the most praisew or thy zeal and activity. When the article came back to head-quarters, it was made the theme of much comment. Its contents were se widely at variance with the reality, that the intention of the writer could not possibly be mistaken. It failed, however, in producing the desired effect. The Prince of the Asturias, on being told who the author of it was, complimented him on his good intentions. You have not,' h e sa id, ' de scribed what is, but what ought to be, and which, I fear, will never be realized.' " The whole army, accordingly, son became dis gusted. Then Don Carlos was beset by a host of monks and flatterers ; his Minister of War was a lawyer, whom the lighting men reluctantly obeyed ; the fanatical priest Larraga was eternally holding up for imitation the sanauinary proceedings of Cabrera, and had raised by his incendiary preaching such an outcry at Court against Maroto and other chiefs, that the Prince, who only saw through the eyes of the cnerguincries by whom be was surrounded, suffered himself to be persuajed that his most faithful Generals were traitors to I:ks cause, and he actually entered into a conspiracy, which would have ended fatally for Maroto, Simon la Torre, Urbistondo, Iturbe, and many other officers, had not the plot been denounced in time to Maroto. Thelat ter immediately convoked a council of the chiefs, to whom he disclosed the plan of the Apostolicals,' - .6a it was unanimously decided that Garcia, Carmona,l:ind such others as were known to concur in the viewe_ fl conspirators. should be arrested and execu t e d.' f'l4.l . Ca the massacres of Estella, which were imposed roto by sheer necessity, in his own defence, and to eSehimi a guct-apens which had been laid for him and the 'other Generals, and which was actually to be executed on a given day. The result of these occurrences seiraS'fhe exlle into France of 35 individuals of the Court of 'l*l Carlos, who with difficulty could be saved from the kry of the soldier s. " It is not here my intention to justify those execu tions, or the subsequent conduct of Maroto; but-all the well-wishers of the Carlist cause in the provinces saluted o lo s rs; i i l n e him, at the time, as their saviour.
