OUR Friends, and all those who may have to write to us, are requested to be particular in directing, HEINE BROTHERS, in II AMBURGH, and to observe, that a letter with one inclosure doubles the Postage only, but several inclosures would by far increase the same. Thus 101., 201., or 30/., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng land Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in two notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there fore most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham burgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive Money from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ever possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, surpassing the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our Correspondents not to overlook these particulars. HEINE BROTHERS. The publication of TIM SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 10 minutes past Three o'clock. ~'~' r .~T.'- y i-. ~E lAA Tif ,4.nn. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1836. We had thought that the fratresfraterrimi MUR " TAGH O'SULLIVAN arid ROBERT M•GHEE had repented them of the evil of their ways, and were re solved to make all the amends in their power to in sulted society, by keeping themselves for ever out of the public view. It would seem, however, that in this we have been mistaken, and that these twin charlatans are at their old tricks again. There is a common saying, that it is " difficult to drive out of the flesh what is bred in the bone," and these worthies afford an excellent illustration of it. Hypocrisy and imposture are bone of their bone and flesh of their flesh, and are not to be divorced from them, except by the process which separates the soul from the body. They remind us forcibly of the celebrated worthies, AMBROSE DE LAMELA and his companion. Pray heaven they may not come to the same end ! The forgery transaction was an unlucky specula tion. Ordinary smashers would have been completely blown up by such a detection, but religious swindling has this peculiarity belonging to it, that its dupes, the oftener they are done out of their senses, and the grosser the deceptions practised upon them, become the more enamoured of the swindler. And will they trust him ? Oh, the lover may Distrust the look which steals his soul away ; Pt The quack may grieve to think that he may doubt The shining store his crucible gives out ; But faith, fanatic faith, once wedded fast To some dear falsehood, hugs it to the last. As it is with the falsehood, so it is with the preachers of the falsehood. Notwithstanding the proof, and in deed their own confession, that these holy humbugs had got up forged documents for the purpose of slandering the Catholics and vilifying their religion— notwithstanding their raking out of a book, written in a dead language, passages never intended for the public eye, and pandering to the prurient curiosity of the saints, male and female, who frequent Exeter-hall, by translating these passages, and spouting them from the platform in the vernacular tongue — notwithstanding all this fraud and filth—the faith ful " hug them to the last." They have, we per ceive, been playing off their antics before a herd of fanatics at Liverpool, assisted by a simpleton whom they have succeeded in entrapping into their snares. Admission was, as usual, refused to all who were not provided with tickets. Thus the public were ex cluded, and the saints had it all their own way. This is, at least, a tacit admission that there is some thing to conceal—something that cannot be allowed to meet the public ear or eye—something, in short, that the parties assembled were ashamed of, and, there-, fore, we do not give up all hope of them. Charity has still a small spot whereon to place the sole of her foot. Of the speeches delivereel at this meeting it is un necessary to say more, than that they were a mere repetition of those which the Speakers have rehearsed in every place where they have exhibited themselves, abounding in the grossest filselioods, and stuffed with the most scurrilous abuse of the Catholics. The principal part of the duty, on this occasion, fell to the lot of O'SULLIVAN, M'GIIEE being unable to officiate, owing to a quinsy in his throat, as his brother orator expressed it. O'SULLIVAN himself, did not appear to be in good feather. The brothers, like the Siamese twins, pro bably sympathise with each other. General EVA NS has addressed a letter to his consti tuents, in which he offers them an assurance of his re turn to this country in February to resume his Parlia mentary duties. We trust that ere the return of the Hon. and Gallant Gentleman he will have witnessed the realization of the hopes which he so confidently expresses of the speedy triumph of the QUEEN'S cause. He 'has hitherto performed his part nobly, and we have no doubt that were he placed at the head of the QUEEN'S army, a very short time indeed would elapse before Don CARLOS would find himself obliged to take shelter in France. But notwithstanding the great moral and physical energy which he has dis played under circumstances themost trying and difficult, we cannot acquit him of all blame during the time which he has passed in the service of the Queen of SPAIN. At the very outset he consented to act a subordinate part with men of whose military incapa- appointment on account of tile reugzon ,ou ms“. y u tc fratiOn. of the new Judge, but we may observe that if he 1 h THE SUN, LONDON, TiiIaRSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1636. by them dismissed). Such being the state of the case, Mr. Biandy addressed a letter to his constituents on his election, returning them thanks for the honour they bad conferred on him, and referring to a statement in that week's Mercury, relative to the chargisi which had been refuted before the Corporate Commissioners ; be added, that " he had no hesitation in pronouncing them to be wilfully false." In consequence of the publlcation of that letter, Mr. Blandy, on the 7th November, received a letter from Mr. Weedon, in which he avowed himself the writer of the letter of the 31st of October, and as Mr. Blandy hand charged the writer with wilful falsehood, his friend Mr. Taylor now waited upon him to require a retracta tion, or the satisfaction which one gentleman required from another. Lord DENMAN—Does Mr. Blandy state in his affidavit that he did not at the time know whp the writer of the letter was ? _ _ . Sir W. FOLLETT—Yes, my Lord ; but even if he did, where there is a libel published anonymously, and reflect ing upon the character of another— Lord DENMAN—You must be aware that it was unne cessary to use the word " wilful" in denying anything. Sir W. FOLLETT—He swears he did not know the writer at the time, and since then another letter has been sent by Weedon to Blandy, threatening him with personal chastisement. COURT—You may take a rule. BAIL COURT. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE sat in this Court this morning, when the Grand Juries for the county of Middlesex and the city of London were summoned to appear before him. Several applied to be excused from serving, on the ground that they were upwards of sixty years of age. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said that he could not excuse them from serving on the Grand Jury, persons under se venty being liable, although persons above sixty were ex cused from servinr , on Juries for the trial of causes. A. Mr. Wild claimed to be excused, on the ground that he was one of the gentlemen of his Majesty's Chapel Royal. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said that was not a sufficient excuse. Mr. Wild said it always had been considered sufficient. He had his appointment with him (producing it), and by that he was liable to be called upon to attend his Majesty at Windsor, Brighton, or elsewhere. The present was his month in waiting, and,if called upon be was bound to fol low his Majesty, wherever he might go. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said that as it was his month in waitiiig he would be excused. The London Grand Jury were then sworn, George Robert Marten, Esq., acting as their foreman. Among this Jury was the Hon. Sir George Murray. The County Jury (summoned from Edmonton and En field) were then sworn, Mr. Bridges acting as their fore man. The usual proclamation having been made, Mr. Justice LITTLXDALE addressed them as follows : " Gentlemen of the Grand Juries, the officer of the Court informs me, that nothing of very great importance will be brought before you, although the number of indictments to be preferred is greater than it has been for some time past. However, from your general knowledge and expe rience, many of you, no doubt, having served on Grand Juries, you will, I am sure, get through your business with satisfaction to yourselves and benefit to the county. After explaining to the Grand Juries their duty in the event of any bills for conspiracy or perjury being laid before them, the Learned Judge concluded by stating, that if anything should arise to require it, he would be happy to render them any assistance in their deliberations which laid in his power. The Grand Juries then withdrew to their respective rooms. After disposing of some motions of no public interest, his Lordship sat at Nisi Prius, when the trial of the cause, " Decas v. Stockley," was resumed. It is expected to last the remainder of the day. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) CORNISH V. KEENS. This case was proceeded with again this morning, and was not concluded when our Reporter left. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) PHILIPS V. BROWN. Mr. HUMPHREY, on behalf of the defendant, moved for a rule Nisi for the Master to review his taxation in this case as between the defendant and his attorney. The defendant had charged the plaintiff with stealing a 5/. note from him in a house in Bow-street. The plaintiff was tried at the Central Criminal Court, and acquitted ; he then brought the present action for a malicious prosecution, which was tried before Mr. Baron Bolland, and a verdict found for the plaintiff, with two hundred pounds damages. The defen dant applied to the Court for a rule Nisi for a new trial ; cause was shown against it, and the rule was discharged: In the bill delivered to the defendant was a charge for four printed copies of the trial at the Old Bailey, at a charge of three shillings and sixpence each. He did not com plain of that item, for the printed copies were really useful, but then came a charge for copying the same report into four briefs, each making 23 sheets. How the Master could have allowed such a charge he (Mr. H.) could not comprehend, for the printed copies were infinitely more useful, and most certainly would and did answer every purpose at the trial. The next item of which he complained was one of 901., charged for affidavits, which appeared to have been made out for the mere purpose of swelling the bill of costs—they were affidavits made out to be used in reply to those which were exhibited by the plaintiff on showing cause. The defendant of course could not know that they could not be used, but the attorney was bound to know that, according to the practice of the Court, they were useless, for the Court never allowed affidavits on any occasion to be used in reply ; the attorney ought to have been aware of that fact, and was bound to protect the in terests of his client; and not to squander his money. The third item of which he complained was a charge of 181. or 201. for a journey to Brighton, in order to have these affi davits sworn. Mr. Baron ALDERSON-Of course that item will go with the other one. Mr. HUMPHREY thought not exactly ; for, even if the affidavits were necessary, there could be no possible occasion for the attorney to make a journey on purpose. They might have been sworn by a country agent, and at one twentieth of the expense.—Rule granted. GERRARD V. HUMPHREY. Mr. CHAMBERS moved for a rule Nisi for a new trial in this case. It was an action tried before Mr. Baron Bol land, at the first sittings in the present term ; it was brought fer the hire of a quantity of silver plate for the use of the Westminster Reform Club, of which the defendant was a member ; the verdict was for the defendant. The Learned Gentleman said the evidence adduced at the trial showed the plaintiff claimed for three items ; the first was for plate hired from Feb. 19, 1835, to May 10, the second from May 10 to June 24, an& the other for plate hired on the 23d of May, without any other specification. They called Mr. Fry, the Secretary to the Club,. who deposed that the defendant was proposed and elected a member of the Club on the Gth of March, 1835, and that he (Fry) wrote him a letter stating so, within a week after. He did not, however, see the defendant until the 23d May in the same yea ; on which occasion there was a public dinner amongst the members. The defendant, before going down to dine, paid him 101. 10s., the admission fee, and .5/. ss. as his sub scription for the year. In his cross•examination, he said there were printed rules which governed the Club, and they were read on the 23d of May. A member, however, might dine in the Club, though he had not paid the fees. He considered the defendant became a member upon his election. The Steward of the Club ordered the articles by orders from the Committee. The Learned Judge ruled that the plaintiff was obliged to put in these printed rules, which he did, and the defendant relied upon the 10th rule, which was to the effect, " That no member should be allowed to dine in the Club, or to ballot or vote upon any subject whatever, without having previously paid up his admission fees and his subscription for the current year." Upon this, it was contended that the defendant had not become a member until the 23d of May, when he paid his fees, but he (Mr. C.) had now to submit to the Court, that Mr. Humphrey, having acted upon and acknowledged his being elected, from that moment he became a member of the Club, and lee for its contracts. It could not be said that the ru treeten if they were binding, had come into operation until tl3,ey were read ; and if they were put out of the way, then the defendant was clearly liable. The COURT—Was there any proof that the election of the defendant took place upon any application from him ? Mr. CHAMBERS said that it did not appear, and he hoped it would not be laid down, that it was necessary that such a fact should be proved, for if so, then in all actions against members of a club it would be necessary to call the proposer and seconder of every one sued. The defendant in this case had acknowledged his election by paying his fees, and the presumption therefore was that he had been proposed by his own consent. The COURT said there was nothing in the case to shew the liability of the defendant. He did not become a mem ber of the club till the 23d of May, at fire o'clock, when he paid his fees and subscription, by which time all the contracts had been entered into. They would not disturb the verdict.—Rule refused. ARCHES COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir HERBERT JENNER.) BROWN V. MORLEy. The arguments in this case were resumed till to-day. It is a proceeding in which the officer of the Judge is pro moted by the Churchwardens of Newport Pagnell against the Rev. Mr. Morley, for an alleged act of brawling and chiding on the part of the defendant, and for a refusal on his part to respect the authority of the Rev. and Venerable Archdeacon, while on a visitation to the parish church of which Mr. Morley is the incumbent. On the last Court day, Dr. LUSIIINGTON, on behalf of the Churchwardens, was heard in support of the libel ex• hibited against the Rev. Mr. Morley. From the statement of the Learned Gentleman ,it appeared that the brawling charged against Mr. Morley consisted in the use of angry words, applied to the Archdeacon, who had given a decision in a case where the parishioners were concerned that exas perated the Rev. Gentleman. Sir HERBERT JENNER said the Court must be satisfied that the conduct of Mr. Morley amounted to brawling, or It could not interfere. Dr. ADDAMS, on behalf of Mr. Morley, should submit with confidence that the suit ought never to have been brought, and that the office of the Judge had been pro moted, not by the Churchwardens, but by the Very Rev. and Venerable Archdeacon himself. The Learned Civi lian proceeded to comment upon the evidence at conside rable length, to show that the Rev. Mr. Morley had not acted in that improper mode as to induce the Court to come to the conclusion that a breach of the peach had been com mitted—that there had bee❑ no brawling, and that the de fendant must be dismissed. The case was proceeding when our Reporter left. CARPENTER'S CHARITY.-BREAD- STREET WARD. A meeting of the inhabitants of Bread-street Ward was this day held at the White Horse Tavern, Friday-street, for the purpose of receiving a report from Mr. Williams, M.P., of proceedings in the Court of Chancery relating to Carpenter's Charity, and for devising the best mode of ap propriating a sum of about 20,0001., which, by the report of the Master, now appears unapplied in the funds. Mr. JOHN LAWRENCE was called to the Chair, and having read the notice calling the meeting, Mr. WILLIAM 3 proceeded to detail the object of the meeting. He said that, though he ceased to be connected with the Ward, he felt a deep interest in every thing which affected, the interests of the inhabitants. The matter upon which they were called together arose out of a suit instituted by Mr. Bateman and himself, relating to Carpenter's Charity, which 105 years ago was instituted for the exclusive benefit of the Ward. At that time Mr. Carpenter bequeathed 1,000/. for the purpose of giving out loans to young men commencing business, in sums from 50/. to 100/. In consequence of a sufficient number of persons not appearing to claim these loans, the funds considerably accumulated, and that in a great mea sure from the fact that the existence of the Cha rity was not generally known. He (Mr. Williams) was twelve years living in the Ward before he heard of such a Charity. In 1826, he called on the trustees to state the amount of the funds, and the only answer he received was, that the Ward had nothing to ,do with the matter. He called on the Alderman to convene a meeting on this sub ject, which he consented to do, but he subsequently changed his opinion, and declined to act as he had promised. On St. Thomas's Day, 1827, he (Mr. Williams) made a se cond application to the trustees, but again met with a re fusal. The inhabitants were not satisfied that one fourth of the sums which they believed were then in the funds could be expended according to the will of the donor, and the trustees themselves applied to the Court of Chan cery for leave to extend the loans to 3001. At length Mr. Bateman and himself instituted the proceedings in Chan cery, but before they could go forward it was necessary to procure the consent of the Attorney-General, and upon re ference to Sir James Scarlett, and subsequently to Sir Thomas Denman, when they held that office, they refused their approbation, and the suit was consequently stayed ; but when Sir John Campbell was ap pointed, he at once saw the propriety of allowing them to go on. The trustees were then for the first time bound to answer, and they admitted almost every thing contained in the memorial. He regretted they had not done -so at first, because they would then have saved to the Charity a sum of 300/., 4001., or 500/. By the will of Mr. Carpenter, the trustees were seven or eight persons— a vacancy to be filled up by the survivors ; 'so that the matter was quietly disposed of, without reference to the in habitants. These were the highest bred Tories in the Ward. The Court of Chancery decided in the very words in which the petitioners preferred their memorial, and agreed to extend the uses of the Charity. It appeared that there were only four loans of 2001. each, besides other in smaller sums, in all amounting to 3,400/. The remaining question was to what purposes they should apply the surplus funds, which, he thought, would now amount to about 23,000/, and he was required to put in a scheme for its appropriation. Now he was opposed to going out of the Ward, though, by the decree they were permitted to do so, and he thought they might apply it to beneficial purposes within it. Besides pro viding amply for the objects contemplated in the will, they might take that course which would best accord with the in tentions of the benevolent donor, and education being the best mode of promoting the future interests of young men through life, he was sure the establishmeht of schools would merit the approbation of the inhabitants. He meant a school not alone for instruction in reading, writing, &c., but where the pupils might receive clothing, feeding, &c., and such in struction as would fit them for any situation in society.— (Hear, hear.) He also would suggest the establishment of alms-houses for the reception'of persons in the Ward who, at one time respectable and independent, were, from re duced circumstances, placed in a condition to require relief. He only threw out these ideas—it would be for theinhabi tants to adopt or reject them, and he would conclude by moving that a Committee be appointed to consider the sub ject; and report their opinions thereon. Mr. WILLIAM LAWRENCE seconded the resolution, and noticed the absence of the trustees from the meeting. A desultory conversation took place on the subject of due notice having been given to those gentlemen ; after which a Committee, consisting of thirteen persons, was nominated, and the cordial thanks of the meeting were re turned to Mr. Williams for his conduct in the transaction. The usual vote was given to the Chairman, and the meet ing then separated. city it would be a deer reflection upon his judgment to suppose him ignorant—thus making himself respon sible for their acts. He uselessly exposed the legion to the mortification of nominal defeats by permitting, it, before it was properly disciplined, to witness skir mishes between the Christinos and Carlists, in which it was not suffered to take a part. In all such cases 'this must have had the worst possible effect upon the spirits of the men. He likewise allowed himself to be cajoled and humbugged by the Queen's Generals —by traitors who did all in their power to betray him, and his gallant handful of British soldiers, into the hands of Don CARLOS. CORDOVA did all in his power to ruin General EVANS, and nothing but the bravery and ability of the Hon. and Gallant Mem ber for Westminster prevented ,his being a prisoner at the head-quarters of the Pretender, long before the fall of the treacherous Commander-in-Chief. Now we verily believe that RODIL is not a jot better disposed towards EVANS than was his predecessor CORDOVA. Nay, we are confident that he would rejoice to learn that the Carlists were in possession of San Sebastian, provided the victory was purchased at the expense of General Ev ANs's military reputation. We blame Ge neral EvAN - s, therefore, for putting the slightest trust in the professions of the QUEEN'S Commander-in-chief, knowing, as he now does, how hollow such profes sions generally are. The withdrawal of the Spanish auxiliary force of 2,500 men from the garrison of San Sebastian, under the plea of interrupting the march of - SAz upon Oviedo, must have convinced him that the QuEEl7',: Generals determined to sacrifice him. Per haps it is this -'9 ll viction suddenly breaking in upon him, joined to the rrlZ:ny privations to which his troops are exposed, that noc' determines him to quit Spain. If so, wherefore .:al it ? Why not proclaim in the face of Europe the ;,:ltrigues which have been employed against him ? He pre fer making such disclosures in the House of Commons ; but we beg to assure him that the present is the fitting moment. He owes it to his own character— to the character of the men under his command, and to England, whose name he has mixed up with his service in the Peninsula—to express his convictions and opi nions upon this head freely, openly, and without re serve. We anxiously await the issue of this affair. Our accounts from Spain this day are mere details of events some two days before the public. The re tirement of MENDIZABAL from the Ministry was talked of in 'Madrid on the Ist inst. We have received the whole of the Paris papers of Tuesday. Whatever is important in their columns will be found in another part of The Sun. We beg to direct attention to the Speech of his Majesty the King of the BELGIANS, on opening the Session of the Chambers on the Bth instant. We give it at full length in our columns of this day. CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) CAMPBELL V. MACKAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morn ing with the appeal petition in the case from the decision of the Vice-Chancellor allowing Lady Campbell to fake her children to France:out of the jurisdiction of the Court. As the appellants only have been heard, we shall forbear giving the facts till the case is concluded. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) LARKMAN V. LARKMAN. Mr. SIDEBOTTOBI applied ex-parte for a special injunc tion to restrain the defendant, who is the husband of the plaintiff, from selling certain household furniture and farm ing stock. It appeared that the plaintiff, by her former hus band, became possessed of furniture and farming-stock, to the value of upwards of 5001. Upon her marriage with the defendant, she settled that property in moiety upon the children of the former marriage and the defen dant. Notwithstanding this, the defendant had threatened to sell the whole property, to restrain him from doing which was the object of the present application. The defendant had conducted himself in a most extraordinary manner to wards the plaintiff, and articles of the peace had been exhi bited against him. The VICE-CHANCELLOR granted the injunction. ROLLS' COURT.--(THIS DAY.) ANSDELL V. WHITE. This was a bill filed to compel the defendant to deliver up a bond executed by the plaintiff, to be cancelled, and praying that the defendant might pay the costs of actions at law which he had brought against the plaintiff ; but in case the Court should be of opinion that he was to hold the bond, then that he might make good the payment of a sum of 6921., which appeared to be clue upon the taking of the partnership accounts, and that the same might be applied in payment of the debts due from the partnership, to relieve the plaintiff from his liability of surety. The defendant and a Mr. Isaac, in the month of September, 1832, entered into an agreement to become partners in the business of musical instrument makers. White and Isaac carried on busi ness in Charlotte-street, Rathbone-place, but in the month of November 1833 it was agreed the partnership should be dissolved. An agreement was entered into by which Isaac was to retain the books, and collect in the partnership debts. The plaintiff, by bond, became surety for Isaac, but the defendant. White, having commenced an action against the plaintiff, for the recovery of a debt alleged to be due to the partnership, the plaintiff had obtained the common injunction to restrain such proceedings at law. Mr. KINDERSLEY and Mr. Parker now moved to dissolve the injunction, and contended that the plaintiff had only obtained the injunction in order to prevent the recovery of a just debt due from him. The case was not finished when we went to press. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) CRIMINAL INFORMATION.-THE KING V. WEEDON. Sir W. FOLLETT had been instructed on behalf of a gentleman named Blandy, to move for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Mr. John Weedon, a solicitor, residing in the borough of Read ing. The circumstances out of which the present applica tion arose were, as well as we could collect from the very low tone and hurried manner in which the Learned Gentle man spoke, as follows :—Mr. Blandy was an Alderman under the old Corporation, and while in that office took a lease of a public-house called the Six Bells, he being at the time a partner in a brewery. The house was at the time let on a long lease at 141. a year, and the brewery concern took it at a rent of 101., with a covenant to expend a certain sum in repairs. There was another property, called the Weigh ing Engine House, of which Mr. Blandy also took a lease, and the affidavits upon which the present application was grounded, stated that when the Commissioners for enquiring into Corporate Property came to Reading, Mr. Weedon made a Charge before them of misconduct on the part of the old Corporation in granting leases to the members of the Corporation, and five different heads of charges were made, two of which related to the leases granted as above ; that a day was appointed by the Corporate Commissioners for investigating these charges, and the result was that they turned out to be unfounded ; that an extract from the Report of the Commissioners was subsequently printed and circulated through the town, to the effect that it had been suggested to the Commissioners that much unjustifiable partiality existed in the granting of leases ; that they had felt it their duty to investigate the matter, and the Corpo ration having furnished all the particulars in order that the property might be surveyed and valued, after a most mi nute enquiry they were satisfied that the charges were des titute of foundation. When the first election for Town Councillors under the New Municipal Bill took place in December, 1835, Mr. Blandy and Mr. Weedon were can didates, and several anonymous letters alluding to these leases were circulated.

O a the 31st October, just precious to the election, an anonymous letter was published in the Reading ilfercury, in which there were several allusions to the former election. IA stated that only one of the firm of Willis, Blandy, and Co. was now a candi date of Church ward, and that he (Mr. Blandy) must be aware that his character and conduct as a tradesman had never been questioned by the Reformers, but their objection was to the large amount of borough property which he as a Corporator had been a party in appropriating to the use of its own members, and the deep interest he had in the continuation of the licensing system. It further stated that Mr. Blandy in his address to th e e l ectors h a d not enu merated among his claims to their support his having obtained leases of the Six Bells public-house, and the Weighing Engine House (although it was known to all that these charges had been dismissed by the Corporate Commissioners), nor ' the part he had taken in transferring a certain public house to his compatriot Mr. Garrett (which charge had been investigated before the Corporate Commissioners, and irge and attached circle of private friends who may be tered on the table and the floor of the room.

HISTORY OF THE WAR IN THE PENIN- SULA. Vol. V. BY W. F. P. NAPIER, C.B. Boone, New Bond -street, London, 1836. Colonel Napier's fame as an historian rests on a basis as imperishable as the mighty deeds of national chivalry of which he is the worthy Chronicler. His is the only work yet published in this country, on the subject of the Peninsular War, which is destined to go down to posterity. The Marquis of Londonderry's book is a burlesque upon the name of history ; Southey's history is incomplete, and we understand the author never intends to finish it ; and as for the swarm of " Notes," " Journals," and " Memoirs," that have appeared, purporting to contain authentic accounts of all that occurred in the Peninsula from 1807 to the Battle of Waterloo, we are much mistaken if, thirty years hence, it be so much as known that they ever existed. If we remember rightly the four octavo vo lumes published by Southey, include the period from the beginning of the year 1807 to the beginning of the year 1811—leaving the history of five of the most eventful years still to be written. Southey's history is a readable, but by no means a profound work. The Author is throughout a zealous partizan. With an industry unworthy of his great and varied talents, be collected from the newspapers and other ephemeral productions of the day, every imputation which was then supposed to detract from the greatness of Napo leon's civil and military reputation ; and we regret to add, that in too many instances such imputations are embodied in his history without the accompaniment of a doubt of their authenticity. But no charge of this kind can be brought against Colonel Napier's work. The Gallant Officer assumed, at the very outset, the dignified position befitting the historian of the martial prowess of three great nations. He suffered not his pages to be defiled with the vile insinuations of petty malignity ; he permitted not his judgment to be warped by national vanity ; he discriminated between successes resulting from accident and design ; and he combined with patient research the rare quality of ad justing to a hair the balance of merit between the vic tors and the vanquished. His principles, always en lightened and liberal in the extreme ; his feelings, ever chivalrous and high-minded ; his views profound with out being over-elaborate ; and his style vigorous, con densed, full of imagery, and singularly expressive, qua lified him to execute with force and fidelity the task which he had undertaken. The fifth volume of Colonel Napier's " History of the War in the Peninsula," commences with Mav, 1812, and concludes with July, 1813. It opens with an account of General Lord Hill's celebrated surprize of Almarez ; the siege and battle of Salamanca, where Wellington out-generalled and defeated Marmont ; the siege of and retreat from Burgos ; Wellington's entry and retreat. from Madrid; the battle of Castella, in which Suchet was beaten by the Allies ; and the whale of the operations upon the Tagus during that memorable season. Prefixed to the volume are remarks upon the criticisms which appeared relative to the volumes already published, and appended to it are a series of plans and extracts from documentary evidence. With the author's remarks upon these criticisms we have nothing more to do than to direct attention to them as models of chaste and vigorous composition. The historical part well sustains the character of the earlier volumes, in all that constitutes the excellence of this work. A sound unbiassed judgment ; an in timate acquaintance with the leading causes which produced all the important results ; a fearless de termination to speak the truth, however painful to individuals, or dangerous to himself ; and, what is of more consequence to many readers, a dis tinctness in the order of his own ideas, which he com municates in an instant to others, is clearly perceptible in almost every page. Our space will not admit of us making more than a few extracts, which we do at random. We commence with the French passage of the Douro, in July, 1812 : At daybreak Cotton's outposts were again driven in by the enemy, and the bulk of his cavalry with a troop of horse artilery immediately formed in front of the two infantry di visions, which were drawn up, the fourth division on the left, the light division on the right, but at a considerable distance from each other and separated by a wide ravine. The country was open and hilly, like the downs of Eng land, with here and there water-gulleys, dry hollows, and bold naked heads of land, and behind the most prominent of these last, on the other side of the Trabancos, lay the whole French army. Cotton, however, seeing only horse men, pushed his cavalry again towards the river, advancing cautiously by his right along some high table-land, and his troops were soon lost to the view of the infantry, for the morning fog was thick on the stream, and at first nothing could be descried beyond. But very soon the deep tones of artillery shook the ground, the sharp ring of musketry was heard in the mist, and the forty-third regiment was hastily brought through Castrejon to support the advanc ing cavalry ; for besides the ravine which separated the fourth from the light division, there was another ravine with a marshy bottom, between the cavalry and infantry, and the village of Castrejon was the only good point of passage. The cannonade now became heavy, and the spectacle surprisingly beautiful, for the lighter smoke and mist, curling up in fantastic pillars, formed a huge and glitter ing dome tinged of many colours by the rising sun ; and through the grosser vapour below, the restless horsemen were seen or lost as the fume thickened from the rapid play of the artillery, while the bluff head of land, beyond the Trabancos, covered with French troops, appeared, by an optical deception close at hand, dilated to the size of a mountain, and crowned with gigantic soldiers, who were continually breaking off and sliding down into the fight. Suddenly a dismounted cavalry officer stalked from the midst of the smoke towards the line of infantry ; his gait was peculiarly rigid, and he appeared to hold a bloody handkerchief to his heart, but that which seemed a cloth, was a broad . and dreadful wound ; a bullet had entirely effaced the flesh from his left shoulder and from his breast, and had carried away part of his ribs, his heart was bared, and its movement plainly discerned. It was a piteous and yet a noble sight, for his countenance, though ghastly was firm, his step scarcely indicated weakness, and his voice never faltered. This unyielding man's name was Wil liams ; he died a short distance from the field of battle, and it was said, in the arms of his son, a youth of four teen, who had followed his father to the Peninsula in hopes of obtaining a commission, for they were not in affluent circumstances. General Cotton maintained this exposed position with skill and resolution, from daylight until seven o'clock, at which time Wellington arrived, in company with Beres ford, and proceeded to examine the enemy's movements. The time was critical, and the two English generals were like to have been slain together by a body of French ca valry, not very numerous, which breaking away from the multitude on the bead of land beyond the Trabancos, came galloping at full speed across the valley. It was for a moment thought they were deserting, but with headlong course they mounted the table-land on which Cotton's left wing was posted, and drove a whole line of British cavalry skirmishers back in confusion. The reserves indeed soon came up from Alaejos, and these furious swordsmen being scattered in all directions were in turn driven away or cut down ; but meanwhile thirty or forty, led by a noble officer, had brought up their right shoulders, and came over the edge of the table-land above the hollow which separated the British wings at the instant when Wellington and Be resford arrived on the same slope. There were some in fantry picquets in the bottom, and higher up, near the French, were two guns covered by a squadron of light cavalry which was disposed in perfect order. When the French officer saw this squadron, he reined in his horse with difficulty, and his troopers gathered in a confused body around him, as if to retreat. They seemed lost men, for the British instantly charged, but with a shout the gallant fellows soused down upon the squadron, and the latter turning, galloped through the guns ; then the whole mass, friends and enemies, went like a whirlwind to the bottom, carrying away Lord Wellington, and the other generals, who with drawn swords and some difficulty, got clear of the tumult. The French horsemen were now quite exhausted, and a reserve squadron of heavy dragoons coming in cut most of them to pieces ; yet their invincible leader, as saulted by three enemies at once, struck one dead from his horse, and with surprising exertions saved himself from the ethers, though they rode hewing at him on each side for a quarter of a mile. The following observations on the battle of Sala manca are new to us as regards the result. They can not prove uninteresting to our readers : In the battle Marmont had about forty-two thou- ,a sand sabres and bayonets ; Wellington, who had receive, some detachments on the 19th, had above forty-six thou sand, but the excess was p r incipally Spanish. The French had seventy-four guns, the allies, including a Spanish bat! tery, had only sixty pieces. Thus, Marmont, over-matched in cavalry and infantry, was superior in artillery, and th® fight would have been most bloody, if the generals had been equal, for courage and strength were in even balance until Wellington's genius struck the beam. Scarcely can a fault be detected in his conduct. It might indeed be asked why the cavalry reserves were not, after La Mar , chant's charge, brought up closer to sustain the fourth , fifth, and sixth divisions, and to keep off Boyer's dragoons , but it would seem ill to cavil at an action which was de scribed at the time by a French officer, as the "beating of forty thousand men in forty minutes." The battle of Salamanca, remarkable in many Points of view, was not least so in this that it was the first decided victory gained by the allies in the Peninsula. In former actions the French had been repulsed, here they were driven headlong as it w ere b e f ore a mighty wind, witho ut help or stay, and th e resu lt s were p ro portionate. Joseph' s secret negociations with th e C or t ez we re crushed, his pa" tizans in every part of the Peninsula were abashed, and the sinking spirit of the Catalans was revived ; the clamours o!' the opposition in England were checked, the provisional Government of France was dismayed, the secret plots against the French in Germany were resuscitated, and the shock, reaching even to Moscow, heaved and shook the colossal structure of Napoleon's power to its very base. Nevertheless Salam anca was as most grea t battles are, an accident ; an accident seized upon with astonishing vi gour and quickness, but still an accident. We shall conclude with the gallant author's opinion of the military genius of the Duke, of Wellington rcld r But it seems to b e a d raw b ac k to the greatness of x', Wellington's character, that while capable of repressing ' l '; subordination, either by fi rmness or d exter i ty as the nas may require, capable al so o f magnan i mous l y di s regardi n g or dangerously resentin g i n j ur i es, his praises and hi s cen sures are bestowed indiscrim'inately, or so directed as to acquire partizans and perscmal friends rather than the II: tachment of the mn!,aude. He did not make the lia r , e working military crowd feel that their honest unobtrus's_ exertions were appreciated. In this he differs not fr°,"; many other great generals and statesmen, but be there*, fails to influence masses, and his genius falls short sublime flight by which Hannibal in ancient, and Nepoleoctil in modern times, commanded the admiration of the w °l.l at Nevertheless it is only by a comparison with such g re- - nr . ien that he can be measured, nor will any slight exami n u l g tion of his exploits suffice to convey a true notion a intellectual power and resources. ice We will, if opportunity serves, give a second notice of this admirable work. of that IRELAND. • Ass.
