EVENING EDITION. AFFAIRS OF EGYPT. MARSEILLES, Nov. 11.—On the 18th the Consuls of the Four Great Powers (the Prussian Consul being absent) had an audience with the Viceroy, and by an order, dated Constantinople the 7th instant, from the Ambassadors, they ad dressed him in nearly the following words : '• The Grand Vizier has communicated your Highness's last letter to the Ambassadors of the great powers. Mehemet Ali still appears to flatter himself that he will be able to bring the Porte to an arrangement to which the great Powers of Europe, under whose protection the Porte has placed itself, shall remain strangers. Is it possible that a man, who, through a long career, has given proofs of uncommon sagacity, can so blind him self when his own interest is concerned ? The faults of the Porte, of which your Highness has so dexterously taken advantage, have given you superior strength, which your Highness can abuse. You can at the present moment deprive the Porte of still greater territories, for there is no one to offer opposition. Your Highness may keep the Ottoman fleet, and the allies of the Sultan will not employ force to re gain it, for its destruction would be the probable result of the conflict. Your Highness may then, if you will, feel satisfied with the conviction, and in the abuse, of your material force. But if Europe is hostile to you, whither will that lead ? For even supposing that Europe did nothing to combat your Highness, still she holds against the Pacha a for midable weapon—that of his future prospects. " What does your Highness desire ? You cease not to repeat that ail your actions have no other end but that of establishing the future fortunes of your family. Do you then believe that the personal hatred with which you have been animated, up to the present time, against Kosrew Pacha can be a good foundation for the establishment of your fa mily ? Have you ever seen anything durable based on a sentiment of this nature ? Your Highness has endeavoured to approximate Egypt to Europe by your administration, by arts, and by commerce. Hence you should have learned, and you will [ learn, more clearly that the situation of Egypt is necessary to the regular existence and duration of some political position. Do not, then, deceive yourself with the superiority of your strength, for it is insufficient to give your Highness that future which you would establish. Even if the Sultan were to grant your Highness all the concessions you demand, they would be insufficient to secure your position, for they will not be sanctioned by Europe. Had your Highness, as chief of the revolted Mussulmans, founded a new empire an age ago, it might have existed in that state of separation and isolation which then rendered Europe but little at tentive to events of such a nature ; but your High ness has devoted even your own life to the establish ment of another order of things, and you have need, under pain of vanishing like a meteor, of the sanc tion of Europe, who will not sanction anything that does not leave untouched the principle of the Sul tan's sovereignty. ... " If Mehemet Ali rests the hope of a suceessfu resistance on the conviction which he seems to en. tertain of the difficulty that the Powers would have in adopting in concert active measures against him, he should perceive that they would easily agree to refuse their sanction to an order of things that c) they found too onerous for the Porte. It is never diffi cult to take a negative measure." The Consuls of Russia and Austria were to gether during this declaration, and those of Eng land and France were separate. The Viceroy re plied, that he referred the decision of his affairs to the high Powers, in whose justice he had implicit confidence, and that this declaration had been pro bably caused by a correspondence between him seif and Kosrew Pacha, who was the first to solicit him to bring their affairs to a termination between themselves, and, without foreign mediation. He then ordered that the Turkish copy of this corre spondence should be given to the above-mentioned Consuls. The first is Kosrew Pacha's, and is dated the 15th of September. The second letter is his answer, dated the 15th of September. Notwithstanding the Viceroy's declaration, that he will be entirely guided by the high decision of the Powers, Europe should know that by the word “ justice" the Pacha means that they should give him all that he holds at present, and all that he de sires, or otherwise ho is quite ready to oppose their decision. As a proof of this, he fortifies himself at the straits of the sea, at St. Jean d'Acre, and at the mouth of the Horan, where he has built four fortresses, and a fifth at the great source of the water. He fortifies himself at \larasch and at every other place, and two regiments, which were to have gone from Hama to winter at Hocns, have received contrary orders to go to Haleb. For the same rea son he keeps here the fleet of Constantinople, which costs 220 purses a day. As soon as the agricultural labours are brought to a close by the inundation of the Nile, he will at once make a soldier of every man in Egypt. Already a camp of irregular troops is formed at Damanhour, and his Kavaz Bachi, Sadik Aga, has had 3,000 teske rets, and has been made Bey as their chief. Here, from day to day, from moment to moment, he expects the steam-boat Peiki-Chewket, which, according to his opinion, will bring a conclusion of peace, in his own way. The two fleets are ready, and biscuits for three months have already been taken board. Long conferences are held daily with the Capitan Pacha ; Tatars are going and coming (by the way of Satabia) from Con stantinople, without any suspicion on the part of the Europeans, and it is very possible that the Porte, intimidated by the man on whom Europe can make no impression, will soon take the last step of de spair, and do the last act of folly. Would this be a crime on the part of the Porte ? That, as well as everything else, remains for the decision of Europe, who is witness of the unheard-of demoraliza tion of an Admiral who has surrendered with his fleet to an enemy. The army has been beaten, and the conquerors have cursed the day of their victory. Egypt, notwithstanding her corn, is in the deepest misery, while, according to the assertion of the Capitan Pacha, the empire, Constantinople has not, includ ing the tributes from Egypt, more than 700,000 purses of revenue. To get in this revenue, the subalterns, who are employed, from the pachas to the lowest gavaz, extort from the people 12 times that sum, which they dissipate among themselves, while the expenses of the state have to be defrayed by the above 700,000 purses. The Capitan gave the following example—the town of Tokat was put under contribution, and 180,000 piasters were paid by the inhabitants, of which the Imperial treasury received but 17,000, the rest having been divided among the Paella, his suite, and his gavaz. During the last war Izzet, Pacha of Angora, had an order to collect from that city 1,500 sappers of every religion. He saw that the exe cution of this order was impossible, and the Sultan gave a new order to the contrary. Izzet did not want to lose this opportunity of making mo ney, and caused it to be understood that he would release the city from that conscription if he were paid 1,000 purses. The city having de layed this payment, he ordered his men to de mand the money by force. They entered houses as in a stormed city ; women and children were for five days at their disposal, and a father had to put up his only son to auction, and to sell him for 50 piasters, at which the savage executioners had taxed him. Thus Izzet Pacha made his 1,000 purses, equal to 25,000 talaris. A commander of a Constantinople frigate said openly, that havi ng been lately sent on a mission to Smyrna, he let the Governor know that lie was in want of money. The latter told him of a plan, which was to get hold of all the well-dressed children and to take them on hoard as conscripts. He did so, and from the parents, in addition to *hat they had given the G overnor, who played h e part of intercessor, he received for his own share 90,000 piasters. Upon this another com mander also recounted his exploits, sayi ng , ~ I was at Constantinople a short time befor e our depar ture, and wanted mon ey. The son o f a giaour saraf (banker) was pa ssin g , arid I seized him as a conscript. To say n othing of the _pleasure I „_ joyed, his trembling father brought me at , z ,„„ 30,000 piastres, and on this condition 1 released him." Let us leave these horrors, though it is well that the Congress of Vienna, or of London, and indeed that all Europe should know them, as they have to decide on the fate of the East and the well being of the civilized world. The Viceroy has, by the French steam-packet, received a despatch from Constantinople. He fell into a very bad humour on reading it, and his ordi nary malady of sobs and hiccoughs came on to a frightful degree. After the application of some re niedies, he sent for the Capitan Paella, to whom he read the letter. The latter nearly fainted ; and i after he had left he was supported three times in the anti-room, that he might not fall. No one knows the contents, nor even the purport of this letter. The Turks suppose that it was an order to behead the Capitan Pacha. The following documents were enclosed in the above : • TRANSLATION OF A DESPATCH WRITTEN BY KOSREW PACHA TO MEHENIET ALI PACHA : DATED THE 27TH GEMAZIULAIIIR, 1200, (SEPT. 5, 1839.) " I have had the honour of receiving your High ness's despatch, and of making m yself acquainted with its contents. It is filled with reproaches, your Highness's bidding us to retire from affairs, and advise you accordingly, I write this to your High ness to testify the sincerity of our friendship towards you ; of this God is our witness, as also that we do not entertain any feeling of animo sity against you. The opinion you hold of me is not just, and although the complaints and re proaches of your Highness, which have been directed against me, have filled the whole earth, I feel no anger towards you, and that is rather the Emperor's concern. All these words have, among both M us sulmans and Europeans, done injury to the name of the wise Mehemet Ali Pacha, and as every individual should be devoted to the cause of his own,' that has greatly astonished me in your High ness, and has even angered me. Since the Capitan Pacha is guilty, it is not reasonable to wish to retain the fleet, and w - e did not think that it was. You have heard the words of the Capitan Pacha, and if you had sent the Imperial fleet it would have been a suitable and benignant act. As for what regards my removal from affairs, your Highness knows very well that for many years I kept retired in my own house. Providence, notwithstanding my own unwil lingness, desired that I should become Grand Vizier. This, then, is the effect of divine grace, and op posing it would have been opposing the will of God, whom I feared, and accepted the Vizirate accordingly, in the persuasion that God would be my aid. Now, my Lord, I earnestly entreat you to pardon this fault of the Grand Vi zirate since for me it was a destiny of God, by the very reason that I was one of the first of Islam. I thank the Almighty that with my last breath I shall find myself in the favour of the Prophet, and in the service of our benefactor the Emperor, who is his successor, and whom I will serve with zeal. All this is perfectly well known to your Highness, and you may feel displeased at the repetition. May God give to each of us according to our hearts, and in the meanwhile may we strive with zeal and devotion to fulfil our duties." 2.—TRANSLATION OF A DESPATCH WRITTEN BY MEHEMET ALI PACHA TO KOSREWPACHA, DATED THE BTH OE REDJEB, 1255. " I have had the honour of receiving your Highness's answer containing exhortations which would persuade us to render ourselves worthy of our Sovereign's kindness, the only end contemplated by your Highness, who, in repeating the maxim that every individual should be devoted to the cause of his own,' has not made a quotation which harmonizes with the present state of things. " My Lord, you know, from the subject, the correspondence, the whole of this business, from its commencement to the present time. lam as tonished, that after having brought the business to the point where it now stands, you now have a feeling of patriotism, for you are not ignorant that the late Sultan, of blessed memory, deigned to promise me, Egypt and the Pachaliks of Saida and Tripoli in perpetuity, which I refused to accept, entreating his Highness to grant me, in consideration of my services, a perpetuity in all the Pachaliks and Sandjaks which were under my administration. Having become Grand Vizier, you offer me Egypt alone, when a sojourn for 18 months as Pacha of this country should have taught you how far hospitality is respected among the Arabs. Nevertheless, without regard ing the friendly relations of forty years, and the glory which I have acquired under the auspices of the Sublime Porte, you order me to seize his High ness the Capitan Achmet Pacha, who is a comrade, and who, having had a difference with one of his comrades, has taken refuge with another (Kapou Yoldachou). Instead of making use of the latter as a means of reconciliation with the refugee by the em ployment of mild measures, you give me such an or ' (1 , 2 r, and in other forms you address the superior officers of the fleet, and perhaps others besides. I have in deed been deeply offended, and in conformity with the maxim, ' pari rtfertur,' I had declared to do nothing more. Without reflecting on what you did, by saying in the despatches you wrote to me after the return of Akif Effendi that you were on the point of sending to me Saib Effendi when the five Ambassadors sent you a note, you gave the af fair quite a different turn. The fact is, that several years ago the Powers told us to settle our affairs ourselves. In your last letter you say, that to be agreeable to our Lord the Prophet, we ought, to our last sigh, to labour for the glory of his suc cessor, our beneficent Emperor, and for the welfare of our nation. I have no doubt of the truth of your words, and God knows that my belief is the same, but your actions and words do not correspond, and I think that what has been published by the journals relative to us, under the circumstances, will suffice on this head. Be that as it may, since you assure me that you are not swayed by any feelings of animosity, God also knows my de votion to the Sublime Porte of eternal duration, the purity of my sentiments towards your Highness, and my sincere friendship for all the great digni taries of the empire, without any interested view on my own part being intermingled. It follows that we are both animated by the same feelings, but that, according to appearances, our principles do not agree. To terminate our difference by a just de cision, and to remove this scandal from the happy Mussulman nation, we require an upright and reli gious judge, who will examine the question accord ing to our holy law. My religious zeal and my sin cere friendship being thus shown, I suppose that your Highness is animated by the same desire as my self. Insallah (God grant) that your heart may be as your lips, and that you may, by the peace and repose you restore to Mussulmans, deserve the eulogies of great and small, and a name immor talized and revered in history and in the mouth of posterity. If your Highness approve of my pro posal, there is nothing further to do than to send to me one or two persons chosen from among the Ulernas and the Grand Dignitaries of the Empire free from all partiality either for your Highness or myself, and having only in view the interests of the Sublime Porte and of the Mussulman nation. This will be a measure adapted to the circumstances, and a service alike to the altar and the throne—a ser vice whic:i your Highness so ardently desires to erform." BON MOT BY LORD DENMAN.—In the Court of Queen's Bench yesterday, when Lord Denman was c alling on Counsel for motions, Mr. Wightman men tioned the difficulty of his being retained in several cases to show cause against rules, while, in others, he appeared in support of rules ; upon which his Lordship suggested, amid much laughter, that the Learned Counsel in that case had better pair off with himself, A gold coin (a noble) of Richard the Second, was dredged out of the river Tyne, a few days ago, by the workmen engaged in the operation connected with the extension of Newcastle quay. On the obverse the King is represented standing on the deck of a vessel, of war, with a drawn sword in his right hand, and his shield on his left arm—the , inscripti on i s R ICARD DI 1 GRA REX ANGL ET RA NC DNS HYE ET A@T, On the reverse is a double tressure, beautifully crnamented with Fleur defis and crowns, and inscribed I.H.C.

THE Two " MEN."—A fashionable clothi ng establishment in to wn being lately in want of as sistance, were abou t despatching an order to the Tai lors' House of Call for two workmen, or men as they are technically called. Some individual overhearing the order, had the audacity to proceed to the place men boned, and state that M e ssrs. i -- were n immediate want of 18 tailors, being, it is supposed, the number he considered necessary to make up the two men required. The overjoyed snips immediately proceeded in a body to Messrs. --, where their lugubrious looks on being informed of the insult and hoax which had been played upon them may be " easier imagined than described." From several desperate expr essions which ) escaped "the men," however, we would not be in the skin of the author of the hoax, should he be discovered, for the world.—Glasgow Chronicle.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1839. LAW ENCE VICE-CHANCEL OR'S COURT, Nor, 25. This being the last day of Michaelmas Term, his Honour the Vice-Chancellor took motions. The greater portion of the morning was occupied with those from gentlemen behind the bar, they having precedence on the last day of Term. IVARBURTON V. THE BLACKWALL AND COMMERCIAL RAILWAY. This case came before the Court upon motion to dis solve an injunction restraining the defendants from pro ceeding with an excavation for the purposes of their works near Worley Court, in the Minories. The in junction was granted last Monday by his Honour, upon an ex pante application, on its being represented to the Court that the works of the defendants were likely to be extremely prejudicial to the property of the plaintiff if they did not destroy it altogether. Th e arg uments, which had not concluded when the Court rose, will be resumed to-morrow (this day), at Lincoln's Inn, where his Honour will sit till Hilary Term. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov 25. THE QUEEN V. ALARIC ALEXANDER WATTS.-CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Sir F. PoLLoch: in this case showed cause against a rule for a criminal information ag M ainst r. Alaric Alexander W a tts,for the publication of certain libels in the United Service Gazette, upon Admiral Sir John Ackworth Ommanney, charging him with having been guilty of disrespectful conduct towards the Queen Dowager. The defendant deposed that the state ment complained of first appeared in the Hamp shire Advertiser, and . that he copied it, and made the remarks which appeared in the United Service Gazette under the full belief that they were true. Mr Watts had not been actuated by any malice against Sir J. Ommanney in this transaction, and he, therefore, trusted that the rule would be discharged. After a few rem arks from the ATTORNEY GENERAL, Lord DENMAN said the rule must be made a bsolute. THE QUEEN V. WATTS.—CRIMINAL INFORMATION. In this case also a rule had been granted, calling upon the defendant to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for having published a libel in the United Service Gazette, on the character of Commander Reeve. Sir F. PoLLocx now showed cause against the rule, and read a great number of affidavits in justification of the publication. Mr. SHEE read affidavits in support of the rule, and addressed the Court at considerable length, after which, Lord DENMAN said the rule must be discharged. THE QUEEN, V. HAMMOND.—CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Early in the present term a rule was obtained calling upon the defendant, a Magistrate of the county of Berks, to show cause 'shy a criminal information should not be filed against him for writing a letter to Mr. Smith, an attorney, calculated to provoke a breach of the peace. The particulars of the case we gave at the time when the motion was made. After Sir F. POLLOCK had been heard against the rule, and Sir W. FOLLETT in support of it, The COURT discharged the rule. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Yor. 23. IN THE MATTER OF JOHN WEBB. This case, (in which Messrs. Wright the Bankers ; and Mr. Simpson opposed) had been before the Court on several occasions. The complaint against the insol vent, who had been a butcher, carrying on an extensive business in Newport Market and the neighbourhood, was a concealment and m utilation of account books for which he was liable to a judgment of three years. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Charles Young, the attorney for the opposing creditors, that in the account books a great many erasures had been made, and a quantity of leaves extracted, from January to March. Several instances were exhibited—a debt of Mr. Got don, a butcher, had been altered from 821. 14s. Id. to Si. 14s. Id. ; and in another place the other figure had been erased. In other places the figures denoting pounds had been erased or blotted out. The books were not in the state when sent for by the insolvent after he was in prison. Mr. COOKE, on the part of the opposing creditors, called upon the Court to remand the insolvent for the full period of three years, for as extensive a case of mutilating and concealing books as had ever come be fore the Court. He had carried out his fraud by gross perjury ; he had no doubt concealed a large sum and done everything in his power to render nugatory the books now filed. Mr. WoonßoFrE, who appeared for the insolvent, said a clear case had been established, and after the evi dence, he could do nothing for the man. He would, however, apply for an adjournment, and he hoped all the creditors would be paid. Mr. Commissioner BowEN said the advice given by the Learned Counsel (Mr. Woodroffe) was very judi cious, and there was no doubt good grounds for suppos ing that a large sum of money had been concealed. A. worse case of altering books had never appeared, in deed, a greater fraud could not have been committed. The creditors would now, perhaps, be paid in full. But if the insolvent should come up again he would be re manded for a long period. The judgment, added the Learned Commissioner, " will be very serious indeed." The case was adjourned for a fortnight, to pay the creditors or amend the schedule. Mr. Samuel Brown, civil engineer, applied on his pe tition to be discharged. The debts in this case were upwards of 18,000/ , and the credits exceeded 70,0001., arising on debts from patents, &c. Mr. WooDaorrE mentioned that Mr. Brown was about to proceed, by direction of the King of Holland, to drain the Lake of Haarlem, and expected to realise a large sum of money. 'The CouRT appointed Sir John Rennie and Mr. Rennie assignees, and discharged Mr. Brown. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. In the case of Jacob Waterhouse, indicted for steal ing two ewes (which was not concluded when we went o press yesterday), Mr. CLARKSON, for the defence, commented severely on the evidence of the last witness, and on the contra diction between his testimony and that of the witness Sweetlove. The Learned Counsel was then proceed ing to comment upon the evidence of the witness Ben nett, when The RECORDER said he should call that witness up again, which having been done, the witness stated that on the Monday night, he saw two sheep in the prisoner's shop bleeding at the nose, as if fresh killed. The RECORDER then said he considered it his duty tc have the deposition of the witness before the Ma gistrates read, as he there declared that he saw one sheep only in the prosecutor's shop on the evening in geestion, between seven and eight. He now states be saw two with their heads on. The policeman stated that he saw two sheep without their heads at about the same time, and the witness Sweetlova stated that there were no sheep at all in the shop, so that there was a manifest contradiction between the prosecutor's witnesses. Mr. CLARKSON having concluded his address, Mr. PAYNE claimed the right of reply on the ground that the deposition was new evidence, but if the Re corder disagreed with him in opinion, he would waive his right. The RECORDER stated that the waiving the right would leave the question open for the opinion of the Judges ; but he was of opinion that Mr. Payne had no right to reply, but he would determine nothing. Several witnesses gave the prisoner an excellent character. The RECORDER, in summing up, commented upon the discrepancies of the evidence for the prosecution, and at the same time animadverted on the unneigh bourly conduct of the prisoner, according to his ovvn account. The Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Griffiths pleaded Guilty to an indictment charging him with feloniously receiving seventeen pounds' weight of silk and eight hundred bobbins of silk, which had been stolen by one Robert Payne. The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for seven years. Edward Sievers was indicted for obtaining by false pretences, from James Duflin, the sum of 3 sovereigns. Mr. BALLANTINE conducted the prosecution. ' James Duffin deposed that he kept a chandler's shop in Ship-yard, Temple Bar. The prisoner dealt at his shop, and in the month of August last he owed him 3/. 11s. On the 7th of last month the prisoner pro duced a piece of paper purporting to be a check for 91. 3s. upon Messrs. Barclay and Co., signed by himself, and he told witness that it was after banking hours, and he wi s h e d hi m to l en d him three sovereigns upon it and set off what he owed him, and he would send for the balance. The paper was presented at the banking house, but there were no e ffects. Cross-examined by the p r isoner—There have been large transactions between me and the prisoner. This was the only transaction upon which any difficulty arose. Upon the first investigation before the Magistrates the prisoner was discharged, and witness offered to shake hands with him, but the prisoner refused to do so. A clerk f rom Messrs. Barclay's proved th a t th ey h a d no funds o placedfd efra iundting their hands p r osecutor, a n d th at w h en to meet the ch ec k i n question. The p r i soner i n his defence d eclared that he had no intentio n he gave him the check he expected that money would have been paid by the bank of Messrs. Gurney at Norwich, to whom Messrs. Barclay were agents, to meet the check when it was presented. The Jury found the prisoner guilty. DISTRESS.—The most alarming accounts have reached us of the state of trade in the North of England, as well as in Scotland. The manufactorie s are closed or closing ; the poor want bread. In Nottingham hun dreds are almOst starving. They assemble daily in. cha pel, and - pray to be preserved-from starvation. Food is rising in price as wages fall. An awful winter is be fore us. SPIRIT of the JOURANLS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Globe.) The Tory Journals allude to the approaching mar riage of the Queen ! and in terms too significant to be mistaken, evince the mortification, the bare anticipa tion of that event inflicts on the party of which they are the organs The starched and formal expressions of " hope that the contemplated marriage may contribute to her Majesty's hap piness," &c., contrast strikingly with the apprehensions by no means ambiguously conveyed, of its discourag ing influence on Tory prospects. " The Ministers, we believe (says the Standard), think themselves, as usual, lucky' in the approaching event ; they have lived one year upon theaccession, another year upon the coronation, and they expect that the royal marriage will carry them through the third ; and a year, half-a-year, or even one quarter-day is a great matter to men in their position." This, though last in order of arrangement, was evidently first in the writer's thoughts. Like the postscript of a lady's letter, it cs.mtains the pith and marrow of the whole. "What effect will the Queen's marriage have on our party prospects ? How long must we wait ere quarter-day' brings to us the long-needed and much-desired quar ter's salary—which is a great matter to men in our position ?" The oracle responds to the inquiry : The effect of her Majesty's marriage will he most un favourable to Toryism. At all events one entire year must pass after it takes place before office can be again thought of by those who have so long lived on the in spiring hope of its early attainment. It is reported o some faded beauties that they break their lookingf glasses for reflectieg their diminished charms. We should not be surprised to hear of some Tories burning the Standard for its unwelcome revelations. One thing is manifest. The Tory Journals are impatient to spring upon the young Prince who will, ere long, be placed in so inti mate a relation to the Sovereign ; to assail him with ca lumny ; to insult him, as the Bradshaws and the Robys, stimulated by them, have aspersed indirectly the Queen, and openly and avowedly her Court, even to her " per sonal attendants," and the " occasional guests" at her table. Neither rank, nor age, nor sex, have obtained exemption from these disgusting attacks on personal and moral reputation—attacks prompted by a disap pointed faction for the purpose of subserving the selfish schemes of party, or of gratifying the base pur poses of private or political revenge. (From the Standard.) HER MAJESTY'S MARRIAGE —The formal an nouncement of her Majesty the Queen's intended marriage was made to the Privy Council on Saturday. The document will be found in another part of our paper. This communication is open to criticism, as the composition, not of the Sovereign, but of her Ministers ; but we frankly own that we can see no thing in it with which to find fault Our excel lent Contemporary the Times pointedly refers to the omission of a reference to the Protestant character of the Prince selected as the Queen's consort. We regret this omission as much as any one can, but it is only fair to own that the people are as much to blame for it as the Ministers, that the Queen is wholly without fault in the matter, and that the Protestant character of the house of Saxe Coburg might have been confidently asserted had circumstances permitted the assertion. It was the practice of the Princes of the House of Hanover always to put forward a devotion to the Protestant interest, in the front of their claims to the confidence of the nation in the first address offered to Parliament by each upon his accession to the Throne. This declaratory pledge has been omitted in our time, and we do not see how in the analogous case before us it could well have been recurred to. Sitting in a Privy Council partially composed of Papists, how could the Queen allude to a preference of the Pro testant religion as her paramount title to the Throne, and to the confidence of her subjects? Let it never be for gotten that it was the act of the people, as represented by the Parliament of 18-29, that threw upon the Crown the responsibility of refusing the admission of Papists to the Royal Council ; and that the Act not only permitted, but, by the permission, in some measure, compelled the Crown to admit Popish Councillors. It is true that the men now in power have abused the opportunity, by admitting Papists most hostile to the Protestant re ligion, and to the integrity of the empire—tithe resisters and repealers. But te law of 1829 destroyed the Pro testant character of the Constitution through all its branches. Let us not then blame the Crown, or the Ministers of the Crown, for an omission rendered inevi table by our own act. (From the Courier.) Fruitful as our foreign policy is, and has generally been, of glaring inconsistencies and consequences the most prejudicial to the commercial and political hsterests of the country, in no instance, perhaps, has its course of action been of more sinister import, because nowhere was the right line more broadly marked out by com mon sense than in the case of the Spanish American States. In the failing condition of our external com merce to ancient and accustomed outlets it was ma nifestly of the first importance to obtain by all justifiable means a preference in new markets. This was the primary object and the per vading feeling in the mind of Canning, when, on the announcement of the recognition of the Spa nish American Republics, he made the famous de claration that he " had called a new ; world into existence to redress the balance of the old." The policy of the present men in office, who, it that time in oppo sition, so loudly applauded his acts and language, has been almost the reverse in practice. For they have inclined to cast off the alliance 'and friendship of those with whom Canning so anxiously sought to draw closer the ties of connexion ; to relinquish the patronage and protectorate which he had es tablished, and which were gratefully conceded as almost of right for political benefits conferred of the very first consideration. To complete the contrast, not only have the duties of protection and alliance been repu diated, but we have connived at the oppression and spoliation of our allies, and admitted a rival power to arrogate a degree of supremacy and interference never exercised on our part, although more rightfully entitled. Thus Mexico and Chili have each in turn been aban doned to the selfish encroachments of France, by whom they have been spoiled as ruthlessly of treasure, and their cities assailed as murderously, as in the worst days of Spanish colonial or buccaneering history. So also now with Buenos Ayres. For nearly one year and a half have the shores of that infant Republic been under blockade the most rigorous ; it's coasting craft, even to the most miserable fishing boat, recklessly de stroyed ; the defenceless villages and farm-houses on it's coasts surprised, sacked, and laid waste by the sudden and silent descents of armed bands, by night or by day, which as speedily re-embarked after the work of devastation was accomplished, and thus escaped pursuit and vengeance. Foreign commerce has been unscrupulously prohibited, and neutrals dealt with as foes by the French squadron. As that foreign commerce was chiefly in British hands and for British account, the main though unavowed designs of French aggression are accomplished ; for those designs consist much more in working mortal injury to the commercial, and therefore the political interests of Eng land, through the unsuspicious medium, and under the pretext of hostilities for the redress of grievances against the Spanish American Goveraments, than in any desire to proceed to the utmost extremities with them on the false and flimsy grounds pretended. IMPORTANT INVENTION. A gentleman of this town informs us that he has invented a new engine, immensely superior in every respect to the old steam engine. The power is created by air and steam. It will consume only one-half the quantity of fuel of the old one ; and the rapidity by which a vessel propelled by it will sail will enable it to perform a passage to America in six days. Owing to a particular way in which the power acts upon the vessel, twenty miles the hour can be realised with the greatest possible ease. The weight of the machinery will be only one-half of that required by the old steam-engine, and instead of straining and weakening the ship, will brace and strengthen it. By this method the steam power is more than doubled.----Liverpool HIGHWAY ROBBERY.. AS Mr. Crocker, cooper, of Montacute was on his way home on the evening of Saturday, the 9th instant, when between Norton and Holy Tree, near Stoke-under-Hamdon, he was attacked by three highwaymen and robbed of 4/. odd in cash, and much beaten. A somewhat singular coincidence, however, has happily led to the discovery of one of the offenders. While rifling the pockets of Mr. Crocker, whom they had down on the ground, one of the victims covered the mouth of his victim with his hand to prevent Mr. Crocker's calling for aid, when, in the scuffle, Mr. C. contrived to lay hold of one of his fingers with his teeth, and so griped the villain that the mark led to his detection, and he proves to be a fellow of the name of Foan, a mason, living at Crewkerne, an old offender. He has also since been recognized as the delinquent in another recent case of highway robbery. We are happy to add that his two accomplices have also since been apprehended and committed.—Sherborne Journal. A trial has just occurred before the Tribunal of Premiere Instance, which is a sort of libel upon the times. Mr. Hope, the Dutch banker, was defendant in an action brought by his cook for 2,103 f. 50c., the amount of his bill for the provision of the kitchen for seven days. Mr. Hope admitted that he owed 1,7601., but that the disciple of Ude had modestly added 25 per cent.to the fair profits of the place,which he was not will ing to pay ; and the Tribunal, judging that 101. a day, or :3,6501. per annum, ought to be sufficient for the kitchen even of a Dutch banker, ordered the plaintiff to receive the sum offered by the defendant. One of the items of the bill was 1401bs. of butcher's meat for a single day, and that in a capital where it is admitted that of a single arrondissement nearly 7,000 persons are upon the liVres de bieniaisance, and do not receive, even in bread, half the quantity necessary for the support of life. As to butcher's meat, at least onc-fourth of the inhabitants of Paris do not taste it once a week.—Letter from Paris. KILRUSH PETTY SESSIONS The ball was opened on this occasion by a " dumpy woman," who elbowed and jostled policeman, crier, ;and by-stander indiscriminately, till she established herself to her satisfaction, in the little pulpit-shaped sanctum , the witness-box, from which she gazed around with an eye of defiance, and an expression of countenance that said very plainly—" I will a tale unfold." Clerk—What's your name ? Complainant—Judy Dimsey (Dempsey) tab be sure. We're neither afraid or ashamed to tell id, thanks be to the Lord—why should we ? Judy Dimsey—aye, do write id down , that's it, Sir,—J u—Ju—d y—dy—a capetal J, Sir (thanks be to the Lord we got the schoolin')—D i m—Dim—a capetal D, you see—c y— cee—Dimsey.—(Laughter.) Magistrate—You complain of Mrs. Canty ? " Complain of her 1" responded Judy. " No, but id sthrikes me almost dumb, so it do—how she comes nigh hand the Coort-house at all, that's what bewilders me entirely, gintleinen, afther horsin' away me tannin' petticoat an' me two check aprons." Mrs. Canty, the accused, now clapped her hands to gether with a bang that would enchant a Lord Lieute nant on a " command night," and turning her back to the Bench in the plenitude of her dismay, protested that she " of'n an' oft) (often) tould Mrs. Dimsey an' her daughter 'twas only funnin' she was." Judy (sarcastically)—" Aye, funnin' you wor ! dear me. Fakes then, I'm thinkin' when next you go to confeshin' (if ever you take a spell ov id)" his reverence 'll give you a flea in the ear for your funnin'—or dead sheep is no mutton, as Batty Foran said to the attorney." —(A laugh.) Magistrate—Did you see her stealinc , your things ? " E'thin maybe I didn't," said sturdy Judy ; "be ickurs I beheld her wid me own two eyes,• an' she havin' a wattle that id reach—aye be dad, as long as - . to-day an' to-morrow, an' a crooked nail, or some sort ov a hook or a crook in the ind ov idont, hookin' me lawful property off o' the line in me little yard, over her own wall, an' it duskish at the same time." " Pale, pale," now become the rosy cheeks of Mrs. Canty ; and on this manifestation of guilt becoming apparent, Mrs. Dimsey indulged in several congratula tory chucklings, which ended in her calling loudly for her daughter Jude. Miss Jude, who made her appearance with a face that had evidently received an unwonted scrubbing, stated that she had " stud on the swatch," and caught Mrs. Canty, not with " streamers waving in the wind," but " a bran new check apron," which she had gaffed, and was quietly landing, when the witness hailed, whereupon the accu;ed let all go by the run, and evaporated. Mrs. Canty (soothingly)—Whisper me this, Jude, an' a lanna nzachree, you are this day ; didn't I tell you an' your mother 'twas jokin' I was, didn't I ? Jest in a manner for divarshin' sake—didn't I, asthore " Upon me word, then," lisped Miss Dimsey, "'twat dhroll divarshin to go clap the other apron an' petty coat in the pawn, an' rise your three and thruppence on 'em—an' thin swear 3 ou never seen 'em all the dear days ov your life." Magistrate—Mrs. Dempsey, did you get any of those things back ? Judy—Wisha—l got the best o' me two aprons, riddled and creased in a manner that you'd give the vesmint, 'twas carrying red hot twelvepeany nails she was wid it.—(Laughter.) Magistrate (to Mrs. Canty)—We must commit you, as the petticoat's not forthcoming. " Oh, blud alive, don't," sung out Mrs. C. " Oh, d—n 'em for rags, what a bother there's about 'em ; oh, Judy ! Judy ; Judy ! is this me thanks for never tellin' the nibors about the jar o' whisky ?"—(A laugh.) Mrs. Judy applied her ap-on to her eyes, and hoped their worships would see her justified. At this stage of the proceedings, and just as the gendarmes were handing Mrs. Canty into " Spike Island," Paddy Dimsey, the proprietor of Mrs. and Miss D., came into Court and stated that he had suc ceeded in recovering the article in question, and now he hoped, as it was the first time, that their honours would liberate the " hooker," when she paid the costs. " Why then do, gintlemen, and confusion to her," chimed in Mrs. Dimsey, " though indeed we'll not be sure of a room rubber ever more, when the wattle is at ' work ; but God is good, and we must only look sharp." Mrs. Canty then received a lecture on the " appro , priation principle" from the Bench, after which she followed her accusers, mutterinf , curses, " not loud but deep," on the female portion of them, as they left the Court in Indian file. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. ORSHIP- STREET. A FUGITIVE FROM NEWPORT.—A tall, middle-aged man, who gave the name of John Eveleigh, and who was enveloped in a rough and tattered white great-coat, was placed at the bar, charged under the following circumstances : Inspector Jervis, of the G division, stated that the prisoner was brought to the station-house on the pre ceding night by a policeman, who had found him lying in Old-street in a helpless state of drunkenness. Hav ing been told by a policeman that the prisoner avowed himself to be one of the Welch Chartists, witness questioned the prisoner, who admitted that he was so, and stated that he was engaged in the fatal affair at Newport, and that upon the flight of the insurgents he made his way to Swansea, whence he took ship for London. Upon being asked if he was armed with pike or musket he admitted that he carried a weapon, but he declined to particularise it, or to answer any further questions. Upon searching him, a card was found upon him, containing the inscription, " Tom Ward,' White Hart, Pentonville," and also the signature " G. Cookson." Mr. BROUGHTON asked the prisoner if he adhered to the statements he had made at the station-house, and he answered that he did. He advanced upon New port with a body of about 2,000 others, under the com mand of a man, named Walters. Upon their march, they sopped at a beer shop, where they had refresh ments, which were paid for by Walters. He was only armed with a stick, which he carried on account of lameness. Upon being asked by the Magistrate why he en gaged in such a foolish business, he said that all the works being closed, he went like other fools to join in the contest. He did not face the fire of the military, however, but remained some distance out of town, und, on hearing the musketry reports, he took to his heels. Mr. BitOUGHTON said that the authorities were now in search of several notorious fug itives, and, for aught he knew, the prisoner might be one of them. He should remand him on suspicion of having taken part in the insurrectionary movement, and the particulars of his ex amination would be forwarded to the Home Office. The prisoner was remanded till Thursday. NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE REFORM Asso- CIATION.—The Members of this Association, and the friends of the Liberal cause, propose to celebrate the third anniversary of the formation of the Society, by dining together on Twelfth Day at Newcastle-under- Lyme. Capt. Mainwaring, R.N., in the chair. A SON ATTEMPTING TO STAB HIS MOTHER AND SISTER.—At Marlborough -street Police Court yes terday, Thomas Richards, a young man, very re spectably dressed, and who was stated to be foreman to a large warehousing establishment in Piccadilly, was charged with having on Saturday night, while in a state of phrensied intoxication, attempted to stab his mother and sister with a knife, at their residence, No. 47, Rupert-street, Haymarket. He also attempted to stab Mr. Turner, the landlord of the house, but he fortunately escaped by jumping over the banisters, at the greatest peril of receiving some serious injury. The prisoner then commenced an indiscriminate demolition of the furniture with a poker, at the same time bran dishing the knife in his left hand, and threatening the life of any person who should dare to approach him. He was, however, at last secured by the police. The pri soner expressed great contrition, and said he did not know what he was doing. He was committed. The continued wet weather has given some slight cheek to the Railway Works in our vicinity, al though their progress is still creditable to the exertions of the contractors. One of the sub-contractors has left the n eighbourhood considerably in debt, and especially so to his workmen, who are, consequently, almost with out food ; he was pursued, but we believe has escaped. The destruction of human life at the works of the Box tunnel is awful ; nearly 50 lives have been sacrificed since its commencement, and one during the last week. A poor fellow, wheeling across the mouth of one of the shafts, lost his footing, and was precipi tated a shapeless mass to the bottom.—Wilts Indc pendent. BRECON, Nov. 18.—In consequence of the heavy rain which fell yesterday evening, and last night, and also of the late tumult in the neighbouring iron works, it was anticipated that our fair would be greatly injured ; however, we are happy to state, it turned out much btter than expected. Only one horse dealer having attended, the ponies went rather low, but good draught horses, as usual, sold well. The supply was more scanty than we have witnessed. Cattle sold well. Cheese varied in prices, from 38s. to 445. per cwt., and tub butter was sold from 101 d. to 10/d. per lb. Year ling hops reached 60s. to 655., and new hops 70s. to 755. per cask, and they sold brisk at the above quoted prices —Silurian. LONGEVITY.—From a few instances of longe vity no inference can be safely drawn ; but the fact, that of the deaths in any district, a comparatively large pro portion is above the age of 70, is a strong presumption in favour of the health of that district. These propor tions will be found to vary greatly. In the whole of England and Wales, out of 1,000 deaths, 145 haveb een North Riding, at the age of 70 and upwards • while, hi the Riding, and northern part of the West Riding of York shire% and in Durham (except the mining districts), the proportion has been as high as 210. In Northumber land .(excluding the mining distria), Cumberland,' N.Vest moreland, and the north of Lancashire, the proportion I has been 198 ; in Norfolk and Suffolk, 196 ; in Devon ! shire, 192 ; and in Cornwall,- 198. EVEN ING ED IT lON ISTERDAY.) DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS IN THE MARI CIRCASSIA. Extract of a letter from Odessa, 4th inst., given by the Commerce : " We have just received intellgenee from Anapa and Tiflis that the Circassians have completely defeated the Russian cavalry along the whole line of the Sundja, and on the plains of Alazap, occasioning a loss of 3,600 men, and several superior officers of distinguished merit. Only a few scattered remnants saved themselves by flying to Soukom Kale, Anapa, and other fortified places. All the posts of the Russian cavalry were attacked nearly at the same hour by superior numbers, showing that the Circassians were well-informed, not only of the position, but of the strength of each post. The expe dition was conducted by the Circassian chief, Szamhali, in person ; the same who has already gained many vie tories over the Russians, and whose name has become a terror to them. It is affirmed that Szamhali is con- i stantly attended by several English and Polish officers of merit, whom he consults previous to any grand undertaking, but refuses to listen to their representations as to drilling his warriors upon the European system. General Grabbe, Commander•in-Chief of the army of the Caucasus, has withdrawn all his Cossacks within the fortresses and entrenched camps, leaving the open country entirely to the Circassians. Daghestan, with the exception of a few strong fortresses, has been evacuated by the Russian troops. In Georgia and the two Kabardahs, the autumnal fever has made such severe inroads upon the troops, that General Golovine has been obliged to make urgent application for rein forcements ; but it appears that these cannot be spared from the army of the Crimea. In this and all the other parts of the Black Sea military preparations are still making upon the largest scale, and with the utmost activity." ALARMING DISI RESS IN NOT TINGHAM. THE CORN LAWS. (From the Nottingham Review.) The town of Nottingham is now suffering severely from the monetary derangements of this country and America ; and its streets which are thronged by groups of unemployed persons, present a melancholy picture. We have to perform a grievous duty, in informing our readers that upwards of two thousand individuals are now destitute of employment, in this town ; and we are fearful that the number will he still further increased. The resources of these unfortunate beings are too inconsiderable to be mentioned—the average of their scanty earnings prevents them laying aside a trifle against gloomy days like these. Thus, some idea may be formed of the utter wretchedness in which numerous families ar.. almost instantaneously plunged. Whilst a portion of these individuals arc soliciting, from door to door, and from village to village, the contributions of the benevolent, others are silently and unseen enduring, with their wives and children, the misery of their lot. We have reason to believe that our worthy and kind hearted chief magistrate will exert his influence in pro moting a public subscription to alleviate the sufferings of his distressed fellow townsmen ; and we fervently hope a munificent sum will be raised. There is no reason to invoke the examples of benevolence which our town and neighbourhood have so frequently furnished ; the cause is that of humanity, and we feel assured that the affluent inhabitants need no prompting to deeds of benevolence. . It is impossible to refer to this distress, without at the same time, hazarding a few words as to its cause. The present stagnation of trade is unquestionably the ostensible result of derangement in our monetary affairs ; but to stay here would be but to institute a partial in quiry. We have the testimony of Lord Monteagle (vide Mr. Spring Rice's farewell address to the Commons) that so long as the Corn-laws are maintained, currency difficulties are inevitable. Mr. Sergeant Wilde, whose seat at Newark is vacated by his acceptance of the office of Solicitor- General, has been received in the most flattering man ner by his constituents, and will, no doubt, be returned by a commanding majority. The Learned Sergeant has issued a spirited and highly constitutional address. Mr. Thesiger, Queen's counsel, has started on the Conserva tive interest. _ _ Dr. Hastings, who was chosen Mayor of Wor tester, has refused to accept the civic dignity, and has paid the fine of 501. imposed upon those refusing to accept the office.— Worcester Journal. WEATHER OF THE PAST WEEK.—Since our last publication the weather has, upon the whole, been mild and favourable for the winter season. Thurs day was raw and fo g gy, with a cold easterly win d, which completely checked all out-door work, in so far as seed ing, leading, or lifting of potatoes were concerned. On Friday, the wind shifted round to the south-west, and brought with it a high sky, sunshine, with occasional showers, and mild breezes. This grateful change has continued with little interruption up to the present hour, and the opportunity has been eagerly embraced by the owners of outstanding crops and potatoes. The latter may be now said to be finally secured all over the county, and save eight' or ten fields on the back-lying muirs, the whole of the white crops have been gathered together. The wheat seed has made considerable pro gress, allowing for the wetness of the land, and if an other week of the present " track" be granted us, we may calculate on the whole breadth intended for 1840 as fully dressed and laid up for the chances of the winter. —Fife Herald. A SECOND DINNER TO MR PAULTON.—A considerable number of working-men in this town, anxiously regarding the disastrous consequences of the Corn-laws, as evinced in the present state of trade, and high price of provisions, have resolved to invite our eloquent townsman, Mr. Paulton, to another dinner, emanating especially from the working men of Bolton, as a testimony of their appreciation of his powerful exertions in opposing the monster monopoly. The dinner is to be held in the Town Hall on Wednesday week.—Bolton Free Press. REVENUES OF THE CHURCH OF DURHAM. —lt is currently reported that the revenues of the See, for the past year, have healuled those of any a anterior years, notwithstanding for thae b en endowmstraction of t of considerable portion of the profits tbhyetnheewDßeaisaboapardiecs.haWp t c e r, al a s t o thheear:reaattthseeasiumaDadivv viedd. nesday last, was the largest ever known.— ur i de lam Chronicle. The Northumberland Magistrates have resolved to make a partial trial of the new constabulary plan, by adopting it in two divisions of that county ; and in Dur ham, the decision at the meeting on Tuesday last, spe cially convened for its consideration, was, as nearly as possible, unanimous in favour of its application to the whole county—there being only one dissentient, who ob jected merely on the ground of expense. DISTURBANCES IN NEWTOWN.—It appears that on Tuesday week a person who let the barracks to the soldiers treated the men with a quantity of ale, when they chaired him, and created great excitement in the town. A part of the soldiers consi dered themselves insulted, and drew their bayonets, when several wounds were inflicted ; the interference of the Captain prevented further mischief, which might have become serious. The soldiers of the 12th regiment are ordered to Brecon, and will be superseded by a de tachment of the 45th. The complaints made by so many of the manufacturers are now removed, in selecting bar racks from the Public Rooms. THE LATE MURDERS AT RADSTOCK.—A parallel to the late tragic event at Wells-way Coal Work, Radstock, cannot be remembered by any inha bitant of the village. Every observer is led to such a conclusion by marking the sad effects it has produced in the immediate locality. The villages around were once the seats of jocund mirth and rural sport, and there contentment at least appeared imprinted on each brow. But in an unforeseen, in an unexpected moment, the scene has become changed to one of general (and nervous) excitement ; and should the vile perpetrator of the horrible outrage ever be discovered, dreadful would be the consequence. The general opinion of the men employed in the pits is that the wretch who caused the calamity must have placed the rope on a stone, and have damaged it by blows of a crowbar. In order to guard against the recurrence of such calami ties, it is intended, for the future, to let down the bucket laden before the men descend into the pit. The coal-masters of the district have offered a re ward of 1001. for the discovery of the perpetrator of this shock ing wickedness. Sorrow, deep and lasting, seems to pervade all clases near Radstock.—Bath and Chelten ham Gazette. LAMENTABLE IGNORANCE. —On Monday a recruit, named Martin, attended b y a Sergeant, pre sented himself before the Magistrates, in order to be sworn in, when, in answer to ques tions put to him by Messrs. Blackall, Nation , Kennaway, Kingdon, and Dr. Pennell, he stated that be could read a little, but could not write, that he had been to Church but did not know except it was to learn out of a book— for what purpose, but never heard of the New Testament—did not never what it meant—had heard of the Bible, but had never read it—had never learnt thommandments—did not know what an oath meant— e c had nine brothers and sisters, one of whom only could write—lived at North Bovey, with his father, and was nineteen years of age • the Church was about two miles from his father's house. The Magistrates refused to swear the recruit in, and a r epresentation of the circumstance will be made to the officiating clergyman of the parish. The young man said he had heard that there was a God, but he knew nothing whatever of Jesus Christ.—Western Times. A woman, of 55 years of age, has just been tried for rtheft, f o r the 12th time, and sentenced to five years' imprisonment, which will, when completed, make 26 years out of 60 passed in prison, without in cluding the preparatory detention before each trial, which amount to about two years more. And such cases are by no means rare.—Letter from Paris. BASTARDY.—On Wednesday week, thirteen fe males appeared before the Holmfirth Magistrates to fa ther their bastard children, opwhom.orclers were made varying from one shilling to two shillings per week. — Leeds Memo y.
