THE GREAT MALT DISTILLERY AT WORCESTER, AND MALT HOUSES ON THE BANK OF THE RIVER, WITH THE VALUABLE PLANT, AND THE WINE TRADE, SITE OF THE BUILDINGS, &c., NEARLY ALL FREEHOLD. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is empowered to lif LL by'AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on THURS DAY, the 26th of September, at Twelve o'Clock, by direction of Mr. Williams, the respected owner, MALT DISTILLERY OF FIRST-RATE CHARACTER AND IMPORTANCE, on ale BANK OF THE RIVER SEVERN, IN THE CITY OF WORCESTER, together with the valuable Plant, the Site of the Buildings, the Wine Trade, Malt Houses, Cattle Stills, Granaries, &c., and all under one roof. It may be well first to premise, that the reason for this sale will be very encouraging to a successor. THE} DISTILLERY ORIGINATED IN 1729 by an ancestor of the present Proprietor, and during a PERIOD OF ONE HUNDRED AND TEN YEARS it has continued in the family, each having carried it on success. fully. It may be asked—where is a corresponding case to be found, or one so encouraging to thosewho would connect themselves THIS WHEEL OF FORTUNE? As it is most probable all the competitors for this first-rate concern will desire to have ocular demonstration of the facts that have been slightly glanced at, the present statement will be confined only to a very few of its prominent features. The Property is nearly all Freehold, and has been completed at intervals by means of an immense outlay, and may now be very safely designated one of THE MOST COMPLETE MALT DISTILLERIES IN ENGLAND. It is wisely placed a few yards only from the River Severn, and the Rectifying House and buildings suitable for the Wine Trade, are immediately opposite, under the same roof. The Distillery and 'Rectifying House are close to . THE BRIDGE IN WORCESTER. It is not perhaps generally known that one of the leading causes of such a succession of good fortune arises out of a fact which it may be well to notice; fortunately it has not had to contend with compe tition and rivalry THROUGHOUT ENGLAND. THERE ARE ONLY I. MALT DISTILLERIES, and roothing nearer to Worcester than Bristol and Liverpool. A purchaser will necessarily require considerable capital to em bark in this field of fortune; great accommodation will, however, be afforded to those who can offer solid security. To conclude: Mr. Robins dares not trust himself to proclaim ME SECRETS OF THE PRISON HOUSE to a public announcement ; the profits havebeen satisfacto7 ; the pre cise amount will be left as a " bonne bouche" to those individuals who make a journey to Worc.leter, who, if aided by strong concurring teatimony, of great respectability, will be allowed a full opportunity to investigate, and see, upon record a happy illustration of the cha racter so imperfectly awarded to it by this short announcement. The Water Carriage from the Severn River and Canal to distant parts of England, arid the Railroad, which is nearly accomplished to London and to Bristol, are auxiliaries that will not escape public attention. Principals only will be dealt with ; the printed particulars will be ready on the 10th inst., with a plan of the distillery; to be then had at the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool ; of Mr. Fisher, Auctioneer, Manchester; at the Bush Hotel, Bristol; New London Hotel, Exeter; of Mr. Laslett and Mr. Knipe, both of Werce,ter, Solici. tors; the Auction Mart, and at Mr. George Robins's Offices, Covent-Garden.

LONDON : FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1839. IMPORTANT FROM SPAIN. TERMINATION OF THE WAR. The following important news, received by the French Government from Spain appeared in a third edition of The Sun of last night : Ttna Moniteur Parisin of Tuesday night has the following important telegraphic despatch : " Tfi SUB-PREFECT OF BAYONNE TO THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR. " On the 30th Don Carlos went to Lecumbery, which proves that he is on good terms with Eliot. On the 29th Espartero occupied the left bank of Deva, Maroto and Simon Torre the right. On the 29th Lord John Hay complained Espartero had com promised the negotiation by too much precipitation." " BAYONNE, SEPT. 2. " Don Carlos has namcd E;uia Commander•in-Chief ad interim." The Monileur of Wednesday has the following : " THE CHIEF OF THE NAVAL SERVICE TO THE MINISTER OF MARINE. " BAYONNE, SEPT. 3. " They write to me from Passages, that a Treaty of Peace had been concluded on the 29th between Maroto and Espartero, subject to the approbation of the Cortes, for the pacification of Biscay and Guipuscna. The follow ing are the principal articles :—Voluntary submission on granting the Fucros ; the rank of the Carlist Officers to be maintained ; and pensions granted to the wounded. On these conditions the 2.5 battalions and 10 squadrons of Maroto will lay down their arms." PARIS, WEDNESDAY, 6 P.m. Letters from Constantinople of, the 17th state that Mehemet Ali insists upon his own term=, although he agrees to the mediation of the Five Powers. W hether this news be correct or not we pretend not to determine. It is, however, highly probable. At all pewits, the war may be regarded as virtually at an t4t. The following extracts from the French Journals of Wednesday are confirmatory of the pa cific intelligence communicated by telegraph. Any comment upon them would be premature : The Sentinelle of Bayonne contains a letter from the Spanish frontiers of the 30th uk, which states that Ma roto had proceeded with his battalions to Azeoita, and the junta of Generals had been held, Martinez, the Se cretary of Maroto, went to the lines of Audoain, where he had a conference of two hours with Lord Jahn Hay. It was stated at St. Sebastian that an armistice of a fortnight was to be concluded. On the 30th, dis charges of cannon were heard, from which it was in ferred that the armistice had been concluded, and the bells were rung in the villages occupied by the Carli.t , . It was said by the inhabitants, that they believed peace to have been signed. The white flag was flying along the Carlist lines. Some boats having hailed the Mazeppa stt arner, which was proceeding from Santander to St. Sebastian, informed it that it could enter the port if it was in want of anything, as the peace was concluded. The Courrier de Bordeaux gives the following as authentic, from the Basque provinces : " An important treaty has been concluded between Espartero and Maroto, under the intervention of Lord John Hay. At the moment when the signature of Don Carlos was to have been affixed to the act of arrangement, he tore up the written conventions, protesting against any decision that might be come to, without his knowledge, against the right of his Royal pretensions. This violence was pro%oked by the last article of the treaty, which pronounced the definitive exclusion and banishment of Dan Carlos and the members of his family. All the informatio n which we receive concurs in giving as posi troctble arran gement entere d i nto b etween M aro t o , from d ? Zari a t eguy , Si mon Torre, Iturr i aga, an d E l i o, which it is inferred that the latter will not lose sight of Don Carlos, and will prevent his joining the little nucleus of the inthrg_ent s at Vera, if he be capable of such an act of resolir►is said th a t E s p a rt e ro has sent an aide-de-camp and that things will rearain in suspense until his return. Maroto has joined Espartero with eighteen battalions." A controversy of some little importance towards forming a right conclusion on t h e effects rent religions on the morality of mankind loiafsdbifreeen of late carried on between the Bishop of LOND O • and Sir CHARLES FoRBES. The Baronet be.' clan it, and it is the opinion of ac u t e o b servers that , the Prelatehad the worst of the controversy. A notice of the whole matter, now that the controv ersy seems brought to a close, may not be unaccept a bl e to our readers. The Prelate stated in the House of Lords on the 13th ult., that " It was notorious that so prevalent was theirs (the Hindoos) disregard of truth, that no testimony of a Hindoo would be received in a Court of Justice, or could be relied on." He ad mitted afterwards that " individuals were to be found amongst the more educated classes of Hin (loos. whose word mi , 4 ht be relied on." For this assertion the worthy Baronet, who seems tired with a praiseworthy zeal on behalf of a people amongst whom he lived twenty-four years, and with whom he has been in communication fifty-two the Right Rev. F a th er i God, years, took od to task, and de dared that he considered the character given by th'e Bishop of the idolaters altogether undeserved. Moreover he asserted that the Bishop would not have so described them had he been personally acquainted with them. The worthy Baronet farther declared that he had perfect c onfidence in the honour and veracity of the natives of India, that they were scrupulous of the observance of an oath, and he quoted Sir THOMAS MUNRO to show " that were morals (civilization►) to become an article of trade between the two countries, Eng land would profit by the import cargo." The Bishop replied very politely to the Baronet, and justified his assertion by the " conspiring evidence of the late Lord TEIGNMOUTH, Sir JOHN MACPHERSON," the Bengal Government, and a crowd of other persons, as quoted by Mr. THORNTON in his work on India. Mr. THORNTON, being a Clerk in the India House, who ascribes the love of lying in the Hindoos to their idolatry, has a theory to support, and jumps to a foregone conclusion. In reply to the Bishop the worthy Baronet quoted an equal crowd of witnesses, including WARREN HASTINGS, Sir JOHN MA LcoLm,a:.l the Marquis of HASTINGS, all of whom, according to the Baronet, have borne testimony to the truth fulness of the idolators. The Bishop could not rebut this evidence, and so he complained somewhat querulously of Sir CHARLES FORBES publishing the correspondence. The Baronet replied that his first letter complaining of the error, in which he manifested an intention of not allowing the Bishop's assertion to go out to India uncontra dieted, was a sufficient intimation that he meant to publish the correspondence. Of course, had the Bishop come with honour from the field, having fully established that the idolaters were as utterly regardless of truth as he wished to make them ap pear, he would have seen the publication with cheerfulness and joy : it was the well-established contradiction which he took to heart, and at which he fretted. Yesterday another combatant entered the field, and endeavoured to cover the Bishop's retreat by quoting Lord TEIGNNIOUTFI'S words. But Lord TEIGNMOUTII begins the passage quoted by affirm ing that " wherever idolatry is established there a corresponding corruption of manners takes place ;" and he concludes accordingly, that the Hindoos are guilty of all kinds of vice, bringing no evidence of the fact but a borrowed story. Now, all the parties who depose on both sides being prejudiced against idolatry, and most of them anxious to make out a else against it, that they fail and establish the fact that the morality of the Hindoos is as good as that of Englishmen, the most moral nation, ac cording to our own showing, of Christendom, the conclusion is, on the whole, favourable to the idolaters. What strikes us as worthy of being remarked on this occasion is, that the Bishop of LONDON and the whole body of the ultra-Protestant Clergy and their followers made for many years, till facts shamed them from their falsities, the same kind of accusations against the Catholics as they make against the Hindoos. Our laws for many years were framed on the supposition that the oaths of the Catholics were not to be confided in, though with infantine simplicity, at the same time, we guarded our institutions by the respect of the Catholics for an oath. Even now the M'GHEES and the O'SUL LI VANS, the ILLPOTTS, and the BLOMFIELDS, are conti nually dunning into the public ears the assertion that Catholicism, which is Christianity, is a source of corruption of manners, and that no other reli gion is a safe moral guide than the sectarianism they teach. From both examples the conviction is forced on us that these gentlemen raise a false clamour against the effect of other religions, in order to make their own teaching appear exclu sively true and excellent. It suits their purposes to excite a prejudice against Hindoo idolatry and Catholic Christianity, and accordingly they calum niate both. Seeing in the state of our own popula tion no evidence of their beneficial teaching—no positive proofs of the advantage they confer on the nation—they endeavour to make themselves appear white by painting others as black as possible. A brief notice of some of their own acts will make this fact more apparent. Our Clergy pretend to teach the people, and for that they receive an enormous revenue. If to neglect such a solemn duty be vicious, no more vicious race of men can be found than our Clergy. The condition of our population is a standing con demnation of their conduct. Hordes of neglected poor in all the cities and towns of the empire, while the Clergy, who are paid to teach them, are revelling in purple and fine linen, driving their car riages, and keeping a multitude of menials, speak loudly against the morality of our teachers. The controversy itself is no proof of goodness. The sweeping accusation against distant people, made on doubtful authority, for the evident purpose of exalting the Church of England, is no evidence of either honesty or charity. Humility is not to be found in the Bishop's querulousness. As to the love of truth belonging to his order, Lord RA DNOR has more than once stated in the House of Lords that perjury is habitually practised at the Univer sities. There is scarcely one subscriber to the Thirty-nine Articles who does not evince a disre ga:d of truth. Repeatedly it has been asserted by the public press, and never denied, that the majo rity of the priesthood made false returns of the ac count of their income. The Bishop is a maker of Corn-laws, and therefore an habitual plunderer by law. All his brethren being land and tithe owners, profit by legislative plunder, and praise it. I The Bishop and his friends may say that these are conventional immoralities by which no man deceived, though many are plundered. We admit it ; but when he bears such a strong testimony against the Hindoos he ought to remember that they are a long oppressed people,—oppressed by many conquerors, and that the lies they may have re course to in Courts are the consequences of the habi tual deceit they are driver► to practise to escape oppres sion. These are amongst the Hindoos conventional immoralities which deceive no Hindoo, and are per haps justified to them as a means of cheating their cheaters. We enter into no defence of the Hin doos ; we dare say that they are as bad as other men in their degraded political condition, but we affirm that they are not worse than their arrogant calumniators. If we were to take the character of the whole English nation from that of the priesthood preach ing one doctrine and practising another, and preach ing a doctrine which they do cot practise in order to obtain the wealth they say they are commanded to despise, receiving large emoluments for the per formance of a duty which they scandalously neglect, would not the whole nation be set down as cozen ing hypocrites, whose word ought not to be relied on—who pervert the most sacred functions to the most uahallowed purposes, and abuse the most important doctrines to their own worldly purposes. Comparing the conduct of the priesthood with their professions, a Hindoo would certainly describe us as a nation destitute of truthfulness, and whose word was not to be relied on. Looking at the Archbishop of CANTERBURY heading the op position to education, a Hindoo would say we were the enemies of knowledge ; and looking at all the clergy rising in arms whenever a motion is brought forward to extend the liberties and improve the condition of the people, a Brahmin would be justi fied in describing us as the friends of intolerance and the enemies of liberty. If he turned his eyes to his own country, and remem bered under what pretexts territory after ter ritory had been taken from its native Princes, while tax after tax was levied on the unfortunate people, he would conclude, and with some justice we are afraid, that whatever might be the vices and crimes of the idolators, they were at least equalled, if not surpassed, by those Christians of which the late Lord TEIGNMOUTH and the present Bishop of LONDON are some of the model men. are lower in agri low of labour ; and they One of th e wors t features in our society is the wagescultute than, with the exception of hand-loom weaving, i n any ot h er b us i ness . Such a well known fact leads to some instructive inferences, to which we solicit attention. Each individual strives to better his condition, which is the soul of improvement. What is good for the individuals of a community must be benefi cial to the society, which, like individuals, is bound to improve its condition to the utmost. Farmers bring up their sons to be manufacturers, merchants, lawyers, doctors, &c.&c.,because they can gain more in such occupation s than in their own. The apothecary makes his son a physician ; the attorney breeds his boy up to be a barrister ; the clerk en deavours to make his child a principal; because in each of these cases the new occupation of the child is considered more opulent, more respectable, or more advantageous on the whole than the one fol lowed by the parent. Now we should like to ask why society should not follow the same rule ; and, wages being lower in the pursuits of agriculture than in almost every other occupation, we wish to know in w h a t cons i s t s th e policy, in what the wis dom, in what the justice of insisting on our people being contented with the low wages of agriculturists when the higher wages of mechanical and skilful employments would, but for the law, be open to them. It is a fact that wages, ilr almost all other employments, are higher than in agriculture ; it is a certain truth that, but for the Corn-laws, they would be still higher in other employments than they are, and where is the wisdom or the justice of compelling the people to follow that which is the worst paid occupation ? We apprehend that it is a general truth, that the older the occupation, the more it is over stocked with labourers, and the worse it is paid. To till the ground and to weave cloth by the hand, are amongst the most ancient known trades of the world, and they are the worst paid. Every new occupation, which is of use to a community is of necessity comparatively well paid, because there can be but few persons acquainted with it. Engineers, for example, and all the artizans engaged in making and working steam engines, fitting up gas works, comparing them to agricultural labourers, are re markably well paid. It may, therefore, be laid down as a general rule, that the more modern the business, other circumstances being equal, the better it is paid. In our manufacturing ingenuity, which is only commencing to develope itself, England possesses an ever-growing fund of new employments, which, as they come into opera tion, would give an ever-increasing scale of wages to her people, balancing the ever decreasing influence of population. Doggedly, stupidly, and most ignorantly, however, does the Legislature, the paternal Legislature, the Re formed House of Commons of England, persist in closing up this means of improvement, in shut ting out these new occupations, and in con fining our people, as much as possible, to the most ancient occupation known, that of tilling the ground. The landlords and the lawmakers will not allow the nation to profit by the immense ad vantages which GOD has bestowed on it in the un wearied industry and boundless ingenuity of its people. They do not, we believe, knowingly com mit this suicide, but they are blundering, ignorant, and stupid, like the Irishman who cut off his own head with the scythe in attempting to spear a salmon. Another remark which arises from this leading fact is, that this old and badly paid employment, to which our legislature persists in dooming our people, is the most exp ose d t o com p et i t i on . There are few Irish printers, carpenters, engineers, or gas-fitters, who come to England ; the bulk of the Irish are common day labourers, igno rant of any art but digging and delving, and they enter into competition exclusively with our agricultural labourers. The abolition of the Corn-laws, which would encourage new occupations, would diminish the means of competition with our people. It would probably give rise to some new arts in Ireland, and keep the Irish at home to consume the food of their own growth. The con tinuance of those laws causes the produce of land to be dear in Ireland ; sends the Irish ovei to Eng land in shoals, and brings those badly paid, igno rant, and unskilled labourers into com petition with the similar unskilled labourers of England. Thus by ensuring a competition with some of the worst paid labourers in existence, and by confining our people to the worst paid occupa tions, the Corn Laws continually tend to degrade the agricultural labourers of England, who are the chief sufferers from both effects, to the lowest level at which human beings can exist. Such seems to us, without a particle of exaggeration, the result o f what our Squires boast of as the highest degree of legislative wisdom. vs. 4 When the QUEEN'S Ministers made die Ballot an open question, we thought and said that they acted wisely in making that concession to public opinion. The grace of the boon was no doubt somewhat impaired by the manner in which- it was granted by some of the Members of the .Adminis tration. Lord Howmic, with that unhappy per verseness and want of discretion which , in 'a great measure neutralize his not inconsiderabletalents, asserted, in his place in the House of COmmons, that his only reason for consenting td leave the Ballot an open question was, that the object of the Ballotists might be defeated. That declaration was as imprudent as it was paradoxical. The Noble Lord was not called upon to volunteer a sentiment wnich bore on its face the stamp of absurdity, and which appeared to the mass of the people an offensive absurdity. Had we entertained any misgiving as to the effect of opening the question of the Ballot, the denuncia tions of the Tory Press against the measure would have been sufficient to confirm us in our original opinion. According to these watchful guardians of our liberties, nothing could be conceived more unconstitutional thin an open question. It was a betrayal of the interests of the country — downright treason to leave high points of policy, which ought to be recommended or resisted, on the same principle that requires unanimity in a Jury, at the mercy of the individual members of the Cabinet. There was, in short, a great outpouring of Tory wrath against Ministers, conveniently amalgamated with a total forgetfulness —suppression at all events—of the fact, that open questions had been the order of the day under Tory Administrations, one of them being Catholic Emancipation—the most important, we should say, that statesmen in modern times have had to consider. We were not aware, however, that the course pursued by the Government in this matter had been so pregnant with great results as we learn from a Contemporary it has been. " That movement," sa j s the Timcs of yesterday, " shifted the centre of their (the Ministerial) , party —nay, virtually dissolved the party itself. It turned adrift a portion, and by far the most respect able portion, of the supporters of the Ministry. '['here was no longer a middle body for the more decorous Liberals to cling to ; each man must de cide for himself whether he would file to the• right or to the left. In either case alike he lost the dis tinctive character of intermediate party, and took more or less strongly the colours of Radical or Con servative." This is a nice bit of theory, and shows clearly enough what the Tory party wished to have been realized in practice. But every one who knows the state of the case, knows that there is not a word of truth in this representation. What extravagance is it to talk of the dissolution of the Liberal party in consequence of the Ballot being made an open question ! So far from this it strengthened that party, both without and within the walls of Parliament. That it turned adrift the most respectable portion, or any portion of the supporters of the Ministry, is an assertion more remarkable for its hardihood than its truth. The Times would fain make the public believe that the moderate Whigs are smitten with a horror of the Ballot, whereas the fact is that none but Tories look upon the Ballot with any edam. All liberal men are as fully persuaded as the Tories are, that, if any mode of voting which should en sure the freedom of the electors' will, were adopted, the Liberal cause would be universally triumphant. The supporters of Government have, therefore, no cause to dread the Ballot, but the contrary. Those of them who oppose it, do so on quite different grounds from the Tories. They oppose it, not because they distrust the power which it would put into the hands of men, to whom the Consti tution has in fact already confided it, though they have not enjoyed it, but because they are not yet convinced that it would afford that protection to the voter which its advocates affirm it would, and are reluctant to depart from the established system of open voting, which doubtless has some great advantages, as long as a hope remains that it may be toposs\i,bhleigse that preserve that system. The Ballot is s o far froamrbieni some nga of the most criterion of extreme favour ofit. mode rateopi of n ion s thein politics,\ We mentioned yesterday that the Committee of the North American Colonial Association had addressed a letter to Lord MELBOURNE, remon strating against the appointment of Mr. POULETT THOMSON to Canada. The answer which the Noble Viscount sent to the remonstranc e has not yet been published in The Sun, and its effects have been so powerful that we now give it. His Lord ship wrote : " Downing -street, Aug. 24, 1839. " Sir--I beg leave to acknowledge your letter cf the 22d inst. I am sorry that the opinions which you have been instructed to state, are entertained by a body of so much weight and influence as the North American Colo nial Association ; at the same time, being entertained, I feel that they could not have been more properly ex pressed ; and " I remain, Sir, your faithful and obedient servant, "Russell Ellice, 'Ffsq. " MELBOURNE." - This calm and cool acknowledgment of Mr. H us- SELL ELLICE'S power of properly expressing rue opinions of his constituents made the Tories dancing mad with vexation. They were like bulls stung by a gad-fly, and went roaring with anger through the metropolis and even through the provinces. The produce of their wrath was that address to her MA JESTY, to which also we yesterday alluded, and which a Mr. ROBERT CARTER, Honorary Secre tary to the North American Colonial Association, sent round to the merchants of the metropolis marked private and confidential. The Standard, however, broke through the confidence reposed in it, and published the address, making known to the public the vexation of its own friends. The Tories in their wrath have interfered with the prerogative in an in solent manner, and they are worse than the Chartists. The latter only contend against absurd laws—the former would set aside the QUEEN herself. The result of the Cambridge election will not surprise the public. It was evident from the very commencement of the contest that the unprincipled party who support the temporarily successful can didate were determined to stick at no means, how ever base, illegal, or unconstitutional, by which they could carry their point. In corruption, intimidation, and violence thel have, with a due regard to their well-earned c haracter, " gone the whole h og ," an d gained a triumph, which instead of being a cause of congratulation, would make them blush if their fore heads were not cased with brass. The triumph, however, such as it is, will be but of short duration. So notorious has been the viola ion of the law, so undisguised and general the bribery on the part of the Tory agents, that not the least doubt remains of Mr. MANNERS SUTTON being hauled over the coals, and ousted from his seat by a Committee of the House of Commons. We turn with disgust from proceedings so dis graceful to the Town of Cambridge, and so dero gatory to the character of Englishmen, to the events which have taken place at Manchester. There, although there has been much of which we cannot approve in the conduct of some who profess attachment to Reform principles, the " rational" Reformer, as he has been not improperly styled in contradistinction to another candidate, has beaten both the Tory and the ultra-Radical candidates. The Tory papers, we observe, are comforting them selves under the defeat by comparing the small majority of the Liberal candidate with the large one of Mr. P. THOMSON at the last election, and thence deducing their favourite doctrine of " re action." This consolation, like most other things of Tory structure, is built upon a fallacious foundation. The publicans, from resentment at the Government for a supposed neglect of th e i r class interests, voted against their political senti ments, and in favour of Sir G. MURRAY. Their votes, added to the majority of Mr. GREG, would equal the majority of Mr. P. THOMSON. If " re-action" means anything, it means a change of political opinions. Where, then, is the re-action in Manchester ? On the same principle, we pre sume, the Tories will calculate in their re-action the votes of the Chartists, some of whom are said; out of spite, to have voted for Sir GEORGE MURRAY. Letters from Constantinople of the 17th ult. have been received to-day, together with Smyrna Jour nals of the 19th. The news they bring is very im portant. On the 15th the answer of MEHEMET ALI to the note of the Ambassadors of the Five Great Powers was received by the Porte. The Viceroy not only insisted on his claims to the So vereignty of Egypt, Syria, and Candia, but declared that he would not so much as treat of any settle ment of the question before the dismissal of KHOSREW PACHA from the Councils of the SULTAN. Upon this point he addressed letters to the principal Members of the Divan, and to the SULTAN'S mother. He had likewise sent agents to foment an insurrection in Albania and Roume lia, but, according to one account, the French and British Admirals gave directions for seizing the vessels conveying them to the Turkish coast, and sending them to Malta. On the 16th the Ambas sadors of the Five Powers recommended to the Porte not to listen to the demand of MEHEMET ALI for the dismissal of the Grand Vizier, and rely with confidence on the joint protection of their respective Governments. Admiral STOPFORD had arrived in Constantinople to consult with Lord PONSONBY, and hoisted his flag on board the Carisfort frigate. The French and English fleets were in the Dardanelles ready to pass the Straits at a moment's notice. The French fleet consists of seven ships of the line, one frigate, a schooner, and a steamer ; and the British of ten ships of the line, one frigate, three corvettes and a brig. The general opinion at Constantinople was that the pacific settlement of the affairs of the Eas t had become impossible. A rumour prevailed tha t HAFIZ PACHA had arrived at Constantinople. Brussels papers of Wednesday have been re ceived this morning. We copy from one of them the following paragraph for the information of our commercial readers : The Ostend pilots have brought into the port a ship which they found deserted at sea, and which belongs to the port of London. The ship was dismisted, and the captain's journal is signed some time before the acci dent, for the pilots found it in the morning, and the journal was signed at midnight. This ship seems to have come from the coast of America, for a quantity of parrots was found on board. It is not exactly known of what the cargo consists, because it has been thought advisable to place the vessel under quarantine. We learn from the journals of Bruges, that the ship brought into Ostend, appears, by the papers found on board, to be the English schooner, Gil Blas, Captain A. H. Herbert, from the coast of Africa, bound for London, with a cargo of palm oil, wood, coffee, &c. The vessel having one of its masts broken and the net ting destroyed ; it is supposed that it was run foul of by another vessel, into which the crew escaped, fearing that their own would immediately sink. The termination of the civil war in Spain, is the principal topic of discussion in the French Journals of Wednesday. The news they contain relative to this subject, will be found in another article ; and as for their comments upon it, they consist for the most part of mere speculations, to which it would be ridiculous to attach the slightest importance. The Gazette de France states that the Emperor NICHOLAS now treats his son-in-law, the young Duke of LEUCHTENBURG, with the most marked indifference. The Duke, it seems, having failed to prevail upon the Court of Rome to grant him a dispensation to bring up his children in the Greek religion has signified an intention of adhering to the instructions of the Roman Pontiff. Hence the displeasure of the EMPEROR, which has already deprived the Duke of all political consideration in Russia. As matter-of-fact journalists, we cannot help thinking that family squabbles about the edu cation of-children which may never have an exist ence are a little preposterous, even in Russia. Letters from Vienna, of the 27th ult., mention that the SULTAN had expressed to Count KZEMUSKY his gratitude to the Emperor of AUSTRIA for the promptitude with which his Imperial Majesty offered his mediation for the settlement of affairs in the East. The French Journals, one and all, express dis pleasure at the manner in which Lord BROUGHA m lauded the Duke of WELLINGTON at the Dover Banquet. The Courrier Francais, the National, the Presse, and the France, display a soreness upon the subject of his Grace's victories, which is quite ludicrous, To suppose that the banquet had for its object either to insult France, or to detract from the greatness and glory of that gallant nation, is pre posterous. M. GUIZOT arrived in Paris on Tuesday. Mr. u is ß E among N son of the President of the United the late arrivals in the French capital.

We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date, from which we copy the following from the East : They write from the frontiers of Turkey, of the 19th August, that a courier on his way to Vienna passed this frontier. It is said that be is the bearer of despatches an nouncing tho acceptance by Mehemet Ali of the proposi tion made to him, and that ho is satisfied with his family inheriting the throne of Egypt and Arabia. It appears certain that they expect at Constantinople a solution of affairs which will F ecure a durable peace. Accounts from St. Petersburg of the 25th of August state that the harvest has failed in the southern parts of Russia; this has prevented further speculations in grain, WORSHIP-STREET -(THIS DAY.) HARD CAsE.—John Rees, a man whose appearance be tokened g reat di stress, was p l aced at the b ar charge d with being destitute. Policeman W. Walker, 42 H, said he met the prisoner last evening, who came up to him and stated that he had that morning been turned out of Bethnal-green workhouse to seek for employment, which being unable to procure, he had returned to the workhouse that evening and been de. nied admittance. The witness then took the prisoner to the workhouse, and the master stated that Rees had been taken before the Board on Monday last, and had been ordered tobc turned out, as the Board considered him capable of getting his living. He had accordingly turned him out yesterday morning, and refused to re-admit him. In answer to questions from the Magistrate the prisoner stated that he was fifty-two years of age, and was by trade a weaver. Mr. GROVE—You must go to work. Workhouses were not built for people fifty years of age. If you are caught again you will be sent to the House of Correction. The prisoner was then discharged. CONSEQUENCE CF VISITING THE FAIR —John Williams, a decent looking man, was charged with attempting to commit a robbery on the person of a man named John Swanys, a hawker. Policeman 118 11 said that Swanys gave the prisoner in charge last evening, accusing him of attempting to rob him. Swanys said the prisoner had put his hands round him, but on his giving an alarm, the prisoner desisted. Wit ness said Swanys was very drunk, and was not now in attendance. Mr. GROVE animadverted on the conduct of the police man in taking a charge from a person in such a state, with out detaining him. The prisoner said he was returning from the fair, and overtook Swanys, who was singing and making a disturb ance, on which he tou c h e d Swaiip. , on the shoulder, and made some observations on his singing, when Swanys im mediately gave him in custody, charging him with attempt ing to commit a robbery. — Mr. GROVE—That is the consequence of going to the fair. That fair is the greatest moral nuisance in this or any other metropolis. . _ The prisoner was then discharged. ENFORCING PROSECUTIONS. —Two boys named Baylis and Martin, we, e placed at the bar, charged with stealing oysters from a woman named Ward. It appeared that the prosecutrix was not in attendance, nor did she intend to prosecute. - Mr. GROVE ordered a summons to issue, and said he would issue a warrant if necessary, to enforce her atten dance. On her appearance, Mr. GROVE said it was necessary th pihlic should know that parsons giving others into custody, and not appearing► against them, were liable to an action for false imprisonment. By the New Police Act Magistrates possessed the power of enforcing the attendance of prosecutors, a power which he would exer. cise, as it wos i.nposiible to put down pilfering if pilferers were suEred to escape with impunity. The case was then gone into, and Baylis was committed for seven days and Martin was discharged. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, SEPT. 5. —W.nd 6. W.—Arrived the Rambler, Hill, from Cadiz.

Tree appearing in the prin cipal character. Nothing could be more correct than her con ception, nothing more perfect than her delineation of the dlfficult and peculiar part she played. With that perfect ienocetice and gentlenesss that belong to the temple-bred boy, she has combined the firm, unfaltering accent, that evidence of undeviating purpose, that belong to the ag: nt of the gods; and withal there is that subdued air which she knows so well how to assume, and by which she appea,s in that perpetual presence of the power that urges lon on, and at the same time depresses birn. She never departed from the gentle calmness of the character, but at the same time ever preserved an air as if mysterious voices spoke to her from every co tier of the temple ; and when she publicly invoked the gods, it was less as a mere mortal than as one who, from a long fearful intimacy, claimed to be heard by them as a right. HINDU BELIEF.—The Hindu hell is a place of punishment replete with the most terrific accompani. ments. In painting its frightful features, all the fertility of eastern imagination has been exhausted. The Scrip tures of Christianity are content with conveying to the hu man mind some conception of the misery and wretchedness that await unrepented guilt, by calling forth the figures of darkness unutterable; the tortures of a fire that is never quenched ; the gnawings of a worm that never dies; weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. The Brah rninic7.l books affect to describe the place of future punish ment with the minutest exactness; portioning the species of punishment that there awaits the wicked, and the pe riods to which they shall be subjected to its penalties, pro. portioned, of course, to the magnitude of their crimes on earth. The universally-received doctrine of ultimate ab sorption of every thing into the Deity, precludes the belief of the eternity of hell torments; and, according to the orthodox creed, the most wicked and unholy are at length so purified, and made perfect, as to be fit for this, the last and happiest state of being—the annihilation of individu ality, and the utter and final extinction of all delusion ; in one word, the destruction of the world of man, which is delusion, and nothing else 1 Millions of years, however, are allotted in the regions of Patala for offences of the higher grade; thousands circumscribe the penalties due to minor offences. But during all this term of trial and pro bation, the criminal is permitted again to return in another form to the world of delusion, th a t h e may b e prepare d . b y the better discharge, or otherwise, of the duties of his new state, to approach nearer and nearer to its final destiny, or to merit a still longer and more fearful purgation in Patala. Such is the Hell of the Hindu ; it follows, that the true Heaven of the Brahminical faith is absorption into the Deity.—From Dr. Bryce'l Sketches of Native Education in India, DIVISION OF LABOUR.—Two old shipmasters met the other day in a tavern at South Shields; and after congratulating each other on the number of years they had kept "above water," the discourse turned upon their respec tive merits as navigators, in the difficult voyage between the Tyne and the Thames. " I should think," said one, " that you and I know all the rocks and sands on the coast ?" " You and I?" said the other : " you may speak for yourself, but I've never gone near one of them, ex cept once getting too closely acquainted with the Good win sands l" " Very well," rejoined the former speaker, " I've been on all the rest."—Gateshead Observer. A farrier in the 12th Lancers, stationed in Abergavenny, on Wednesday se'nnight, put a horse in a gig to see how he would run in harness. It appears that the horse had a sore back. Another farrier ran at his head for some distance, and then got into the gig; the horse im mediately started off along the new road towards the Usk Bridge, when, in attempting to turn him, the reins broke. One of the farriers got out behind, but the other jumped out at the side, and, unfortunately, broke his leg in two places. There was also a little boy in the gig, who kept his seat. The gig passed several waggons on the road, but eventually the horse stopped, being knocked.up ; the boy remaining in the gig unhurt.—Merlin. EXTRAORDINARY (;ASE.—Some days since, a vessel was recognised in Sunderland harbour, which was known to have sailed from that port in October, 1836, and has never since been heard of. The vessel is the schooner William and Betsy, formerly of Perth, and late of Sunder land. She was the property of Mr. Stobbie, of New burgh, who purchased her from Mr. J. Gowland, of Sun derland, by whom she was lately recognised in Sunderland harbour. Mr. Stobbie, who happened to visit Sunderland at the time, together with Mr. Gowland and other persons, inspected the vessel, and were satisfied as to her identity. It appears that after she sailed out of Sunderland in Oc tober, 1836, a violent sturm arose ; several other vessels which sailed the same tide were damaged ; and one vessel, viz. the brig Oak, of Sunderland, was lost, and all hands perished. The William and Betsy was also su pposed to have be en l ost, and all hands perished. M r. Stobbie had a son on board at the time, who, together with the rest of the crew, have never since been heard of. The certificate of register, under which the vessel is now sailing, corresponds with the ori ginal register in the port where she was built (Kirkcud bright), tonnage, name, dimensions, and every other p an: t i cu b, e , except the date, the f ormer register being dated I sm the present certificate bearing date 1829. She now belongs to Liverpool, but the present captain and crew h a ve been only three m on th s on board,- and profess to know nothing of how the present owner came in to posses sion. Information has bee n communicated to the Custom house officers, and also to the agent of the Insurance Com pany (who paid the insurance to Mr. Stobbie). The filed register and the b u ild er ' s certificate have been s ritten for, but no answers have yet been received. t ap p ears pro bable that when the vessel was overtaken by the storm the crew perished, and she had been picked up at sea with the papers on board, and taken into some obscure port and sold. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of British Corn this week have been very small, of Foreign Grain also unimportant. Nohl ithstanding the variable weather, the Wheat trade has experienced no advance since Illonday, the few sales made having been at that day's prices. Other Grain also remains as previously reported, with little doing. The Flour trade continues heavy. The duty on Foreign Wheat will probably be 2s. Bd. next week. ARRIVALS. Barley. 99 qrs.

ODE TO A NOBLE AND GALLANT MARQUIS. (Suggested by his late droll exhibiti®n at Eglinton.) Dear, delightful, frisky Ala.quis, Whom all people, near or far, quiz, Unrivalled in tby Thespian bent,* Or tilting at a Tournament As mimic Knight, but greater still In the Statesman's post you fill ; Now affecting in a passion, Melbourne's back to lay the lash on, And now, like wits in Tory papers, Cutting such fantastic capers, As make each Peer with laughter sore, And set e'en Bishops in a roar ; Long may'st thou flourish in thy prime Long perpetrate, thou drollest Mime, Absurdities, :nore rich and mellow, Than e'er found vent in Punchinello, Or--as the by-gone week has shown— Split manhood's sides at Eglinton I Dull and tame, indeed, is be, The hired buffoon, compared to thee, Who grins at Fair of Bartlemy I His quips and cranks, though quaint and smart, Arc merely the results of Art ; But thine, my Vane, beyond a question, Are, each, dame Nature's own suggestion : Yes, 'tis she who, on the sly, Prompts thy burlesque of chivalry ; Lends thee thy most astounding graces, And bids thee make those odd grimaces,t Which--as the critics all insist on— Immortalize the name of Liston I Bright Peer, whose spirit proudly swells To wear old Folly's cap and bells; Whose speeches, full of self-reliance, Set wondering Syntax at defiance; Whose acting bids us cease to grieve For mimicry's pet-child, Jack Reeve; Whose Knightly feats have far outshone All lately seen at Eglinton ; Take thou the cap and bells, and long Wear them, fit theme for satire's song, For—whether as Statesman, Player, or Knight, Great Marquis, they arc thine by right! * The Noble and Gallant Marquis is well known for his ad mirable performance of the Parish-beadle, in the 66 Wreck Ashore," which was one of the late John Reeve's favourite cha racters. t In a speech which he made last year, in the Lords, on our Foreign Policy, the Noble Marquis grimaced and gesticulated in such an extraordinary manner, that the Bishop of London was actually compelled to rush from the Bench, like an airy young fawn, and give vent to his convulsions of laughter in an adjoining apartment.
