EVENING EDITION': HER MAJESTY'S SCOTCH SUI TOR. AT WINDSOR. ;.: WINDSOR, OCT. B.—On Sunday last James Bryan, 1 the Scotch man who, on Wednesday, app eare d b e f ore i' the sitting Magistrate at Kensington to apply for the restoration of " some valuable papers of a secret nature," as he described them (which had been detained amongst „'' some other things, for rent of an empty room, d ue to h i s 1 landlady in Satton-street, Kensington, and which, upon i examination, proved to be a parcel of incoherently 1 'written letters, addressed to the Queen, Lord Mel- I bourne, the Duchess of Kent, &c.), paid a visit to 1 Windsor, where he remained during the whole of the f day. His dress was that of a Scotchman, but of the most piebald description. His plaid trousers indi i rated the clan of the Stuarts—his waistcoat that of the Macgregors--and his bonnet that of the Grahams. In ' the latter were two feathers from a pheasant's tail, 1 pinned on the left side. He wore a blue frock coat, and carried in his hand a blue cotton umbrella. It is believed that he went to St. George's Chapel in the i l morning. However, in the afternoon he attended Divine worship at the parish Church, and remained 1 ¶luring the whole of the service. Immediately upon I its conclusion, he proceeded rapidly to the new terrace, 1 where her Majesty was promenading in front of the arivate apartments, accompanied by her distinguished visitors and suite. Upon his arrival he anxiously inquired, " If her Majesty had walked around the .f.errace in the midst of her people 9" and on learning -that the Queen had done to, he stationed himself at the eastern end of the north terrace, close to the senti nel on duty, and within a few feet of her Majesty as she approached that portion of the terrace during her walk. Each time the Queen arrived at this point (where he remained fixed until the Court retired within the Castle) he rais e d hi s bonnet, as h e sm ili ng ly a nd intently gazed upon her Majesty. He remarked to a gentleman who was standing next to him, that '6 Victoria was a bonnie lassie," but that " it was now the fashion amongst gen tlefolk to wear such long petticoats, that he had never yet been able to see her Majesty's ankles. He did not think her handsome, but still he thought she was a very good-looking, comlie lassie." Mr. Russell, one of the recently -appointed inspectors of police at the Castle (since the discharge of Ledbetter and Capes), was close to him during the whole time he remained on the terrace, and followed him into the town when he left, which he did the moment the Queen re tired. The officer entered into conversation with him when he reached Castle -street. It appeared that he was staying at the King's Arms, Colnbrook, where he was • then proceeding on foot. He told the officer that his I suer was nearly all sp"nt ; and it is supposed that he will soon trudge back to ais native town in Ayrshire. He was walking on the terrace during the period the Queen was there on the preceding Sunday ; but his " attachment" to her Majesty not being then publicly known there was no curiosity c:xcited respecting his movements, nor would lie have 'peen noticed at all amidst the hundreds of strangers u' oo were present had it not been for his somewhat ee'.;entric appearance. He was in Windsor yesterday nf crnoon, but in a totally differ ent dress to the one he, wore on Sunday. He had doffed the Macgrego:--Stup.,-t_and-Graham medley, and appeared I in the " costume of a Southern."

The Tory party arc in a minority. There have been 700 notices of registry served for Carlow county for the ensuing sessions of the peace, of which 150 relate to entirely new claimants. For the city of Limerick '2,600 notices have been served. A considerable number are new applications, but the majority are re-registries. Eight hundred and seventy five notices have been ser.ed for Fermanagh for the sessions about to open there.

THE FRENCH AN l j ENGLISH FLEEI":, eESIKA BAY, SEPT. 12. I write to you from corner of my little wooden house in the new torin of Besika Bay, the ancient Alexandra Troces. Besika Bay is the name of the roads where the French and English squadrons are at anchor. Were I poet or a romancer I should send you a pompou.s acoount of our little town—how we tread under foot the bones of Homer's heroes, and how our woode,a 'houses. are erected on the very spot where stood fo,:trierly the t en t s o f Agamemnon's soldiers when they vent to revenge, under the walls of Illion, the in sult of Menelaus ; how, within twelve leagues from hence, Xerxes led his countless myriads across the Hellespont, to lose them on the plains of Marathon and Platea. But in plain homely language let me inform you that about 400 of us have thought fit to make up an extem pore town on the barren beach of Besika Bay. Our little town is divided into two distinct quarters, French and English. Tlie French camp is badly placed in the neighbourhood of an unwholesome marsh, the mephitic emanations fr.om which have already spread all sorts of diseases. he English camp is in a much more healthy spot, but, is rather too far from the sea, for which reason ' We are going to move it. We have cleared the neighbouring villages of all their poultry, and intteed eateables of every description. It will be long ere they forget their hungry visitors from the West. We get grapes from Tenedos, and every thing else from Smyrna. W e are not aware how much longer we are likely to remain here, but we must be of within thirty or forty dlys, for the bad season will soon let loose the violent south and southwesterly winds, which will render the roads no safe anchorage. And, however great may he the exigencies of policy, they must bow before the stern will of nature. Ourlac, or the Smyrna roads, will then become the refuge for our floating citadels. But do not think that our crews remain in idleness. The French squadron sometimes gets under way, and remains at sea for two days, which, perhaps, gave rise to the report that Admiral Lalande had left Admiral Stopford. The crews also arc daily exercised in gunnery and naval tactics. The crews on board the flnets are in a healthy state. I send you the list of the respective fleets, which, as I said before, will probably winter at Smyrna, or the Isles of Ourlac. EN,GLISII SQUADRON.

HIGH IVATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning `.:7 minutes after 3. 1 Evening ... 41 minutes atter .?. _ -4,rps . . ht Tli.n.* LONDON : WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1839. The acts of the Tories, except the usual bullying in the Registration Courts, being nil, they are not susceptible of criticism. They talk at public meet ings, but the party declines being bound by the gabble of its members. They have a great advan tage over the Ministers, who must act, and who are exposed to an indefinite range of criticism, on the old principle that the path of truth is narrow and the regions of error boundless. We are com pelled, therefore, to test the Tories by their words, by their demands ; and those we have shown would plunge the community into irreparable disorders. One of their assertions is that they are no longer Tories, but Conservatives, and their opponents, they say, take an unfair advantage of fixing on them a hateful policy by a nickname, which they have wisely abjured. We will take them on their own terms, call them Conservatives, and show them to be as mischievous in one character as in the other. It is palpable and admitted, that most of our in- stitutions require repair. Under the Church as it is, for example, masses of the population have grown up untaught and uncared for. As a State contrivance for teaching the people, the Church is miserably inefficient ; bloated in the upper ex tremities, and starved at the lower. This oppro brium both of religion and of political science, the Conservatives would keep up in all its hideous, helpless malformation. Next look at the two Houses of Parliament. About a thousand persons authorised to debate on law making ! What a gross absurdity. Four or five clever lawyers, half a dozen statesmen, one or two wrangling Bishops, leading the ignorant, with a few score proxies, constitute the Uppe► House of Parliament. The Lower House, said to be a representative of the whole people, excludes four-fifths of them, and is a mockery of its noble name. How it has performed its duties we need not mention, but no party is satis fied with it. Both Houses of Parliament unaltered, with all their deformities, the Conservatives are pledged to preserve. The Whigs will admit of some improvements, the Conservatives are bound to keep all things just as they are. We will not run through the catalogue. It is enough to say that our Courts of Law, our Par liaments, the Church, the Colonies, the represen- Live system, and almost every part of our Consti tution, are overrun with corruption and abuse, all of which, and all the fictions and old errors on which they are based, the Conservatives are, by their name and nature, pledged to uphold. If t h e sun stood still, if society did not increase in num bers and in knowledge, the Conservatives might be admirable statesmen. But man is a progressive animal, and the institutions of one age are quite unsuited to another. A Conservative, therefore, is necessarily a t war w i th ' N ature an d G OD , an d wholly misplaced as the guide and governor of society. The Edinburgh Courant, a Journal of much pretension on matters of political economy, has the following paragraph in reference to our sug gestion of a silver currency : Among other rash propositions which have been thrown out, we observe it has been suggested that silver should be:made a legal tender along with gold, as in the Conti- StTN, LONDON. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1839 nental currencies. The exclusive use of gold in the main payments, which is strangely enough considered as a de fect,[is the perfection of the British currency. There is no use for more than one measure of value—it is much convenient net to haVe more. The use of two mkitalh is apt to introduce confusioh from theik varying valite in re gard to each other; and giild answers perfectly all the purposes of a measure, while silver is confined to thes sub ordinate duty of the smaller payments. On the ame principle that we recommend silver, why not inttoduct copper, which in early times is frequently employed as the standard, but has been invariably disused with the progress of society ? In the Continentarcurrencies silver is neces sarily used in payment of large sums, because society has not made the same advances as in this country ; and such is the nature of the cash transactions that they could not be conveniently settled except in this medium. It is the coin in which the payments of the great mass of the people are made ; they seldom deal in gold ; and hence it is of necessity in such abundance that it must be used in the main payments, though it is evident they could be more conveniently settled in gold. This is not the case in this country ; and silver, though it were forced into the circu lation, would soon disappear, as not being suited to the nature and general amount of the payments that are to be made." Our Contemporary calls our suggestion rash, because it is not suitable to its own taste. We will exami ne i ts assert i ons. - " The exclusive use of gold in the main pay ments," it says, " is the perfection of the British Currency." Subsequent to making that assertion it States a number of reasons for it, such as the great advances made in our society, the nature of our cash transactions, which could not be conve niently settled in silver, &c. &c. That might be good if it were true. The fact is, that nineteen out of twenty, perhaps nine hundred and ninety nine out of a thousand of our transactions are settled neither in gold nor in silver, but in paper. It is as easy to write one thousand ounces of silver as two hundred and fifty sovereigns, or ounces of gold, and, therefore, all the presumed advantages of a gold over a silver, or over a copper currency, exist only in the imagination of the writer. Pa per and not gold, bankers' books and not bullion, checks, drafts, post-bills, bank -notes, &c., are the real instruments for settling nearly all the pay ments of our commun i ty. There is no use, says the Courant, for more than one measure of value, and gold, it implies, is the best. The fact, however, is, that every one thing bought and sold is a measure of the value of other things, and gold is as much measured by sil ver as it m easures s il ver. It seems to us a mis take to suppose, that there can by any possibility be any one measure or standard of value. The British Legislature, indeed, has hunted after such a measure, and has decreed that it shall be gold. We are great believers in the perfectibility of man ; but the practice of the legislator, in fact, far surpasses our most sanguine theory. He resolves, though the whole history of our species disproves the accuracy of his resolution, that there shall be no wrong-doing in his society, and he makes laws avowedly for the sup pression and prevention of crimes; he covers the land with goals and policemen, puts society to an enormous expense for hulks and penal colonies, and, alas I he fills the community with crimes and criminals. He considers poverty as a reproach, and he reduces men to paupers, by the taxes he levies to prevent pauperism. In like manner he resolves there shall be only one standard or measure of value ; he decrees it shall be gold, and the re sult is oscillations of price, which set at defiance the most astute calculations, and alternately re duce the different clasSes of producers to beggary and despair. Such has been the case of England since the gold standard was established. There is no treason, therefore, against either her MAJESTY'S Crown, or against good sense, in supposing that there may be some use in more than one measure of value. Gold, the selected measure, is the produce of comparatively limited spaces ; at least, though it may be extensively diffused through the earth, it can be worked to advantage only in a few spots. It requires a great deal of labour to procure it, and is comparatively of small bulk and great value. From its inherent qualities it is, and has long been, almost universally employed as money. Now; from these circumstances, it is more liable to fluctuations of value than silver. It is that one of the two metals which is most easily transported, and as the rule, therefore, is employed to balance the payments between nations. From that circumstance its value in any one spot, independent of the increase or diminution of trade in that spot, is liable to conti nual fluctuations, and being so liable it becomes a very bad exclusive measure of value in any one country. Because it is the product of limited spaces, the quantity obtained, like the harvest of one field, or one parish, is liable to great fluctuations. An equal quantity is not obtained from the mines and brought into use every year. As the quantity thus fluctuates, so doeS the value. As the selected, but not decreed, measure of valbe between nations, we do not deny jts.advantages ; but, employed as the exclusive measure of value in any one nation, it exposes that nation to all the fluctuations occasioned by the variations in the quantity of gold produced, and by the variations in the demands of commerce for it all over the world. By using two measures, we should limit and les sen these fluctuations. If more than two measures could he employed, the fluctuations would be still less. Moreover, silver is more abundantly pro duced than gold. The annual produce of the metab . therefore, is more equal; being more abundant and more equally supplied, and not being employed, like gold, to equalise the transactions of different nations, it is much less liable to fluctuate in value, in any given spot, than gold. For these reasons, amongst many others, we earnestly press on the mercantile classes, if they desire to have their transactions regulated by a measure as little as pos sible liable to variation, the propriety of using silver, as well as gold, as the measure of value. Having frequently heretofore revolved the subject in our , thoughts, we cannot agree with th e Courant tnat it is rash to take this opportunity of suggesting th e adoption of silver. Our proposition would, we believe, have this pre-eminentadvantage, of reducing the price of gold, and making it easier to pay debts, without any person being sensible of a disadvan tage. With singular ignorance and incapacity our Legislature in 1819, when it established the clearest metal as our standard, by making it exclusive, and adopting measures totally to prohibit the equal cir culation and use of silver, enhanced that dear standard probably three to five per cent., and so added to all the burdens of the country, and to all the disasters its ignorance and rashness inflicted on the community in 1819 and every year since. During the late crusade against the education of the people, the Church was supported, and even outrun, in its unchristian course by a large propor tion of the Wesleyan Methodists, who we verily believe, were led astray by the ill-deserved confi dence which they reposed in their ministers. The latter misunderstood, or pretended to misunderstand, at all events they grossly misrepresented, the nature of the Government Plan of Education, and sounded the alarm of Popery and infidelity throughout all their borders. Petitions, ready cut and dried, were transmitted from London to the various congrega tions in the country, and were signed by the people, at the instigation of the District Superintendents and Local Preachers, without any examination. The zeal of the Wesleyan Methodists in the cause of the Church was the laudatory theme of every Tory tongue. " Our Wesleyan brethren" were in such odour with the Times, the Herald, the Standard, and other organs of the faction which stands up for popular ignorance, that a careless observer would have been apt to suppose that an alliance, offensive and de fensive, bad been entered into, and a cordial, almost an incorporating, union established, between the Church and Methodism. Whether the Weslevans flattered themselves that there was any foundation for this apparent good will on the part of the thUrthi we cannot say; But this Vice know, that it they tlidif they imagined that sht had for, one inoinait related an atom of that bitter hatred which she entertains for all who have left her communion, and especially for those who have strayed the Bhottest distahee from the fold, they Were egre giously mistaken. If we wanted any proof that this hostile feeling exists in all 118 liii . 7eteea6y, We lidVc only al open the publications which speak the sentiments of the Church on this point. In another part of our Paper we have inserted some extracts from a periodical of this class, which set forth the merits which " our brethren," the 'Wesleyan Methodists, possess in the eyes of their kinsmen of the Esta blishment. We need not say that the picture of Methodism, drawn by the Church Magazine, is not a correct likeness. The Wesleyans are, we believe, neither better nor worse than other men ; but we think it of some importance to them to know what their friends of " the pale" think and say of them. It is also of importance that the public should thoroughly understand and appre ciate the spirit of intolerance which actuates the Clergy of the State Church, and which is insepa rable from the establishmept of a dominant sect. We do not know that we could have given a stronger instance of the tendency of Church-and- State religion to stifle every sentiment of kindness and charity in the hearts of its ministers, than is afforded by the extracts to which we have alluded. In another part of the paper will be found an account of a splendid gathering of landlords and tenants and farm-labourers, held at Inverness, not for the purpose of getting up petitions in favour of Corn-laws, or exciting one class of the commu nity against another, but for the noble and useful purpose of advancing the interests of agriculture, improving the breed of cattle, and pointing out to landed proprietors the only certain and independent way of obtaining good incomes without putting their hands into the pockets of their neighbours. The Duke of RICHMOND, Lord HATHERTON, and others, possessing large landed property in Eng land, were present, and they will profit, we trust, by the example. The Marquis of TWEEDDALE pointed out to these Southrons the best way of dispensing with the Corn-laws, namely, by en couraging profitable agricultural pursuits. This is the second lecture he has given them on this subject. The first was in pre sence of the English Agricultural Association at Freemason's Hall, when they invited a Tory landlord to come and assist at their deliberation ; and while they expected him to join in praise of the Corn-laws he cursed them altogether. It was the old story of JUPITER and the Carman, condensed into the French motto—" Heaven will help you when you help yourself." The meeting altogethe r exhibited a splendid display, alike creditable to the industry, intelligence, and independence of the landlords and farmers of the North. German Journals of the latest dates have been received this morning. Letters from Athens state that an English and French company, at the head of which appears the respectable name of M. HUMANN, has entered into negociations with the Greek Government, for the establishment of a Bank in Greece. In no country in the world is a Bank more wanted. For the want of the accom modation which a Bank could readily and profit ably supply, extensive tracts of the finest land in the world remain out of cultivation, the owners having no capital to purchase farm stock. A letter from Cologne, of the 24th ult., states that the Roman Catholics of that city lately pre sented a petition to the KING for the release of the ARCHBISHOP. To this petition an answer was returned, setting forth the clemency and long-suffer ing of the ICING, and justifying the detention, of the *Ancitsisuor, but stating, in conclusion, that if the Itomish Clergy did their duty as lawful sub jects, his MAJESTY would be careful that nothing should be done by the Government in violation of the rights of the Roman Catholic religion.

The Moniteur of Monday publishes a telegra phic despatch from the frontier, announcing that, on the 30th ult., the Spanish Government presented to the Senate a project of law for a general and complete amnesty for all political offences committed since the commencement of the civil war. This intelligence appeared in our Second Edition last night, accompanied by a statement made on the authority of the Committee appointed to draw up the project of law in question—namely, that ten individuals, including CABRERA, the Count D'Es- PAGNE, and Father CYRIL, were excluded from the benefit of the act of amnesty. This statement is not confirmed by the Moniteur, which leaves us to suppose that the amnesty is without any limita tion whatever. This, as the National observes, is a wise and salutary measure ; and, if faithfully exe cuted, will establish the superiority, in clemency and generosity, of the half African Government and people of Spain, to the French revolutionary Government of July. A general and complete amnesty, after six years of civil war and atrocious reprisals, most of the actors being still living, contrasts strangely with the policy of condemning the dupes of police in trigues, and the participators in petty riots, to lan 'guish for the rest of their lives in dungeons or in exile. This is a view of the question which every liberal Frenchman must take, if he look at it at all ; and we are not surprised to find the National among the first so to represent it. The same Journal announces that the Infante, Don SEBASTIAN, has received passports for .Naples. This Prince has had some misunderstand .ing with Don CARLOS, his uncle, in consequence of which he applied to the Tuilleries for passports for himself and suite, pledging his honour not to interfere any more in the affairs of Spain. King Lows PHILIPPE, on receiving this assurance, ordered passports to be delivered to him. This intelligence is said to have struck Don CARLOS and his family with dismay. The National re marks upon this affair, that the conduct of the French Government is incomprehensible, unless the demand of the Prince was supported by Foreign diplomacy. Don SEBASTIAN was known to the Court as a man destitute of honour. He was known to have sworn allegiance to the QUEEN, to have taken out passports to Italy, and to have left Naples.of his own accord to join the rebel troops of his Uncle CARLOS in fighting against his So vereign. He was a traitor, not from necessity, but choice. But Don SEBASTIAN unites with his penchant for treason as moderate an appetite for hard fighting as CARLcis himself ; and as for his abilities in the Cabinet, an allusion to them was wont to excite some merriment at the mock Court of Estella. We do not, therefore, quite agree with the National in supposing such a man, now that his worthlessness is generally known, more dan gerous at Naples or at Rome, than in the centre of France. The French Journals are much occupied with the Eastern question. The Constitutionnel has an article exceeding a column in length on the alleged secret alliance of England and Russia (!) to para lyze the generous exertions of France. M. DE PONTOIS, the new Ambassador to the Porte, is reported by the Presse to have received precise in ttructions drawn up in quite a new spirit. The French Government declares itself frankly and openly in favout of ME - HEMET ALr, but will aet in his Gehalf in d friendly, and not in an official manner. It will gUarnnteo t 4 hill . ) the hereditary possession of Egypt and Syria, but pent:lade him to renounce his claims to Adana and Tarsus. The Brig cinferted du M. DE PONTOIS the title of Count before his setting out us the nergsentßtive of France at the Potte: The Echo de Porte n t states that Mr. GEM: GE LLOYD HODGES, formerly British Consol-Gere ral in Egypt, has returned to that country in the same official capacity. The news from the Spanish frontier is not im portant. From Madrid the accounts are that if the Chambers refuse to grant the fueros without limitation, Ministers will have recourse to a dissolu tion of the Cortes. It does not appear at present that any such course will be necessary, as the Go vernment meets with nothing but support, oven from the Exaltados. On the 2d inst. Father CYRIL and M. DE ERRO, late Ministers of Don C A RLOS, arrived at Montpelier. (From the French Papers of Monday. ) A meeting of the shareholders of the Haytian Loan took place on Sunday in the Great Hall of the Paris Bourse. The assembly was very numerous. After a re port, made in the name of the Committee, respecting the object of the meeting, several despatches addressed to the Committee by the Haytian Government and M. J. Lat . - fitte were read. They contained the following proposi tions of that Government to effect the reimbursement of the loan : " 1. An annual lottery of 600 annuities, payable at the rate of I,ooof. during seven years; this number to be afterwards increased by the amount of the interest paid off. " 2. The payment of 30F. per annum, for the interest at three per cent, of a year's interest due on the Ist of July last. " 3. On the Ist of January next 15r. per annuity, to be paid for the six months due on that day, and so on, etery succeeding six months." M. Martin Laffitte, who represented M. J. Laffitte at the meeting, confirmed this announcement, and added that the above proposition would be shortly carried into effect. The Assembly unanimously acquiesced in the offer, with which all present appeared satisfied. BOURSE.—PARIS, MONDAY, OCT. 7. first Highest 11.otvesi . Last Price Price. Price.

(THIS DAY.) A STAGE-PLAYER IN DIFFICULTIES.—Newton Treen Hicks, one of the performers at the Victoria Theatre, who described himself in his schedule as a stage player, and not as a comedian or tragedian, ap. peared this morning on the stage of the Insolvent Deb tors' Court, to take the benefit of the Act, upon his pc tion to be discharged. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER, after inquiring of the insolvent where he had resided, observed that when the broker of the Court went there, he could not obtain admittance. The insolvent said that that had been caused by his wife being from home. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER.—DO you occupy the whole house. The Insolvent—No, Sir, only the first floor. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Have you any theatri cal engagement at the present time ? The Insolvent—l have, Sir. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER—Has your wife ? The Insolvent—No, Sir. The CouRT then ordered the insolvent, who had been out on bail, pursuing his theatrical avocations, to be discharged. The consequence, therefore, was that the " benefit" for the insolvent was completely success-. ful, as it relieved him from the payment of debts to the tune of 2001. Three causes were assigned by the in solvent in his schedule for the necessity of his taking a benefit in this Court—first, inadequacy of income, previous to 1837, no profits from the Richmond the atre, of which he had been proprietor, and law charges. • MORE ACCOMMODATION BILLS. Mr. Edwards, .an unopposed insolvent, applied to be discharged. He, like the greater portion of the appli cants to the Court, had accepted accommodation biils. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER told him that he deserved no pity for his imprisonment, nor did any man who ac cepted accomodation bills when he was not able to meet them. The insolvent was discharged. THE WOODEN PA VEMENT IN THE OLD BAILEY.—(THIS DAY.)—The numerous accidents which have occurred in the Old Bailey since it has been paved with wood, has at length awakened the slumbering of our City authorities to the expediency of making some alteratio n i n t h at p ar ti c ular, and workmen were this morning employed in " .notching" the wooden blocks, which will in future render tile footing good both for persons and cattle, and will them by, in a great de gree, prevent the recurrence of those accidents which it has been our painful duty to record. On Saturday last, while a gentleman was enjoy ing the sports of the field about seven miles from Glasgow, he brought down, among other game, a snow white cock pheasant. Th e bird is prized as a curiosity. AGRICULTURAL MEETING.—Ott Tuesday a numerous meeting of farmers and gentry residing in the south-western division of the county of Surrey took place at Chcrtsey, to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the Chertscy Agricultural Association. In the course of the day a ploughing match took place at Kerd wich Court House, and the skill evinced by the plough. men afforded a gratifying spectacle. The prizes were afterwards delivered to the successful competitors by Colonel Challoner, the High Sheriff of the county, with a suitable address. At the same time prizes were deli vered to servants who had behaved themselves well during a long period of servitude. After this portion of the business had been concluded the company adjourned to the Swan Inn, Chertsey, where about one hundred gentlemen sat down to dinner. The Right Hon. Sir W. Fremantle presided. SALE or A WOMAN.—On Monday a woman, respectably dressed, was offered for sale in Rotherham Market-place. She came forward with a halter round her waist underneath her gown, the end of which was passed through her pocket hole. There were several bidders, and the woman bade fair to fetch a good price. When the bidding had reached 4s. 10d., however, the constables made their appearance, and the woman fled and took refuge in a house up the Crofts , leaving the auctioneer no other resource than to dispose of her to the last bidder. We understand that he had gone from Sheffield for making the purchase, and she, understand ing that the constables were only there to prevent a dig turbance of the peace, surrendered herself to her new master, and they proceeded together by the railway to Shefficld.—Rotherham Independent. COURT OF REQUESTS.—Whoever takes the trouble to look in upon these Courts discovers at an elevated table a number of thin and stout, an assort ment of rubicund and pale person ages , di spens i ng, in the character of Commissioners, sometimes something mo re than substantial " justice" t o th e numerous suitors°. One remarkable peculiarity appears to attend one of these Courts, namely, that the right-hand supporters of the Chair, and the l e ft-h an d supporters, like the antago nist principles of oil a n d water, are i n unchangeable op position. Itis in the nature of a phenomenon to find that both sides agree, on any one question, and when they "do agree, their unanimity," as Yu' says, " is wonderful." That such is the situation of matters, more than one party brought by business to this Court has occasion to bless his livdcy stars. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) ILLEGALLY PAWNING CLOTHES.—Sarah Smith, a washerwoman, was charged with having illegally pawned some bed-curtains, table-cloths, &c., the property of Mrs. Benjamin, which had been entrusted to her to wash. The articles had been pledged for 21 s. Mr. Alderman HARMER ordered the prisoner to pay a fine of 205., and the value of the articles, or be im prisoned for fourteen days. Mrs. Benjamin said the pawnbroker refused to give up the property. Mr. Payne said that he had better restore the goods, for he was liable to a fine of double the sum lent for receiving linen entrusted to a person for the purpose of being washed. The pawnbroker said he was not aware of that. It was a very hard case. After some hesitation the articles were restored, and the parties quitted the office. HATTON GARDEN.-(THIS DAY. THE REVOLT 'OF THE WORKHOUSE.—Harriett Holmes, Jane Spinks, Martha James, Mary Glyn, and Ellen Keefe, all good-sized girls, were charged with riotous anti disorderly conduct in Clerkenwell work house. The nurse of the ward stated that the prisoners had yesterday and the day before refused to do the work which had been allotted to them, and that she had flogged them with a cane, and they still refused. Yes terday afternoon, after refusing to work, they were riotous and disorderly, and made use of very abusive language, when they were given into custody. Mr. COMBS sentenced each of them to seven days' imprisonment ; but on the promise to behave better for the future, they were, after a severe admonition, dis charged at the intercession of the workhouse authori ties, and taken back into the house. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE. There are very small arrivals of Corn of any description this week. Fine dry parcels of Wheat firm at Monday's value, iia other qualities little doing. Barley, dull sale at last quota tions. Oats as last reported, with a slack demand. Other Grains as last stated.

The sale progresses, much as it began, and prices show no variation, being about the -rates obtained previous to the com mencement of the sale. About one-third of that which is put up sells. INDIGO SALE —SECOND DAY. The sale goes on steadily. Owing to the quantity being little more than 6,000 chests, which is but a small quantity for a quarterly sale, prices were much the same as those obtained previously to the commencement of the sale.

The sales are 3,500 bags, of which 1,500 have been taken for export, During the week, ending the 3d instant, duties were paid upon the following quantities of Foreign produce, viz.-80,999 quarters of wheat, 40 quarters of barley, .513 quarters of oats, 1,065 quarters of rye, 818 quar ters of beans, 887 quarters of pease, and 19,606 barrels of flour.—(Liverpool Corn-Exchange.) We have received St. John's, New Brunswick, Papers to the Bth September ; they are entirely void of intelli gence. The exportation of previous metals from the port of London for the week ending on Saturday last, consisted, according to the official returns, of 4,450 ounces of gold bars only, which were shipped for Hamburg. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday were on the im provement. The Bank Shares at Paris have experienced a con siderable rise this week—without doubt owing to the 'bills for the account of the Bank of England being re newed—from 2,780 f. they rose to 2,810 f., and closed at 2,805 f. The Stock Exchange Committee met yesterday after noon for the further consideration of the conduct of one of their members, respecting the transfer of 5,0001. Consols, the particulars of which appeared in our paper of yesterday. After deliberating on the subject, we understand they broke up without coming to any con clusion. It is understood it will go into the Chancery to be decided. Gold, it appears, is returning from the Continent to this country ; a remittance was received yesterday at the Bank of England of seventy-five to one hundred thousand 'pounds in specie ; in addition to the above, within a short period, some large amounts in specie have been received from Mexico and the United States ; and further large remitances are expected daily from other quarters of the globe. These supplies will greatly add to specie in the coffers of the Bank of England ; and the issuing of one and two pound notes will no more be thought off. THE FUNDS. Consols ' which left off yesterday at 90i I both for Money and the Account, opened this morning at 90i for Money, and 901,- 3 -I- for Account. The Market at present appears very firm.

SIR JAMES CLARK'S STATEMENT of thf CASE of the late LAD} FLORA HAST.INGS So long as the accusations brought against mek in reference to the case of the late Lady Flora Nast'`' ings, continued to be either anonymous or unau', thorized, I felt it right to submit in silence to every 6pecies of provocation, rather than bring before: the public circumstances of a very delicate nature,, which came within my knowledge in the implied confidence of professional intercourse. The pub• lication, however, of the Marquis of Hastings, the nearest relative of Lady Flora Hastings, made me, doubt seriously whether, in regard to myself, as . well as the profession, I was justified in not laying before the public an account of the case so far as I was concerned. The renewed attacks which have followed that publication, permit me no longer to hesitate ; although, even now, it is with the utmost, reluctance I bring myself to enter into details, which, I am of opinion, ought never to have been made the subject of public discussion. On the 10th of January last, I was consulted by Lady Flora Hastings, who had that day arrived from Scotland, and had come into waiting on her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. She had derangement of bowels, and of the general health, and she complained of pain low on her left side. There was also considerable enlargement of the lower part of the abdomen. Under the use of some very simple remedies the derangement of the bowels and the pain in the side gradually abated, and ultimately ceased ; and Lady Flora complained only of weakness. • The size of the abdomen, however, continued undiminished ; and Lady Flora's appearance be came the subject of remark in the palace. A bout the Ist of January, as near as I am able to fix the date, I was sent for by Lord Melbourne ; a nd, 0 a going to him, his Lordship i n f orme d me tha t a communication had b ee n mad e t o hi m by LadY rc a vistock, respecting Lady Flora Hastings, who ar pearance had given rise to a suspicion in the pala S i . e that she might be privately married ; Lordship asked my opinion on the subject' stated, in reply, that while I thought such susr' cions ought not to be readily listened to, I was , at ' the same time, bound to admit to him that the ar pearance of Lady Flora in some degree counte nanced them. I added, that without more aril& means of observation, I could not venture to re, an oin on the subject ; and his Lordship agree' with met hat no step should then be taken in tb c matter. From this time the condition of Lady Flo, ra Hastings caused me considerabl e a nxiety. I" only source, besides pregnancy, from which the s iie and peculiar f orm o f th e a bd omen cou ld pr°er d was disease ; but the probability of disease b eing the sole cause in L a dy Flora's case was dimin ished by the circumstance that the enlargement was ae i companied by very lit t l e genera l derangement 0 health. In fact, Lady Fl ora con ti n ued to perfetri 3 her usual duties with apparent little inconvenience' to herself. I continued to visit Lady Flora about twice a week, from the 10th of January to the 16th of Fe" bruary, and on several occasions examined the state of the abdomen over her dress ; but being unable, in this way, to satisfy myself as to the nature of the enlargement, I, at length, expressed to her my t:" easiness respecting her size, and requested that, 1 1 my next visit, I might be p e rmitted to lay my ban" . upon her abd omen with her stays removed. To this Lady Flora declined to accede. • Matters remained in this state until the 16th of February. On that day I found it had been de termined that I should acquaint Lady Flora with the suspicions which existed in the palace, and should suggest her calling another physician into consultation with me. Before visiting Lady Flora, I asked Lady Portman, the Lady in Waiting, if might use her name to Lady Flora, as one of the lades who entertained the suspicion respecting her. To this Lady Portman at once assented. Her Lady,- ship then described the peculiarities in Lady form and carriage, which had produced the uues_ pression in regard to her state. To the _s tion as to what my opinion on the subj ect I replied that the appearances were cer tainly suspicious, but that even to medical men such appearances were often deceptive. Lady Portman concluded by observing that for the sake of Lady Flora Hastings herself as well as of the Court, it was necessary that the matter should be cleared up. Immediately after this interview with Lady Portman, I went to Lady Flora for the pig` pose of making this very unpleasant communica tion ; and I need hardly add that I made it in the most delicate terms which I could employ. After a few remarks on the state of her health, I told her that her size had attracted the attention of the ladies, and that it was now my painful duty to ac quaint her Ladyship that they had, in consequence, been led to suspect that she must be privately mar ried. This was the mode, and these were the words in which the painful communication was made. I urged Lady Flora, for obvious reasons, if there were any grounds for this suspicion, to acknow" ledge the fact ; and if not, to see another physician at once, to put an end to the rumour. Lady Flora denied that there were any grounds whatever for the suspicion, and named Sir Charles Clarke, who, she said, had known her from her childhood, as the physician she would wish to be called in ; but s he declined, notwithstanding my earnest entreaties, to see him on that day. This refusal, after the rea sons which I had given, lessened very considerably the effect upon my mind of her Ladyship's denial. After the interview with Lady Flora, it remained for me to communicate what had passed to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. I therefore informed Lady Flora that I was going to her Roya l Highness for that purpose : to the propriety of this Lady Flora immediately assented. I accordinglY went to the Duchess of Kent, and stated the n,a ture of the interview I had with Lady Flora. Her Royal Highness immediately expressed her e ntire disbelief of anything injurious to Lady Flora's cha racter, and she asked me my opinion. Howeve r reluctant I felt to express any doubts on the sub' ject after Lady Flora's declaration, I could n ot de cline giving a conscientious reply to her R o y al Highness's question ; and I answered to the e ffect that the suspicions I previously entertained were not removed. t,ioh In the coupe of the evening of the day on wi. I made the communication to Lady Flora Hasti n g s ' I received a note from h e r L a dyship, of which the following is a copy " Saturday. " Sir,—Although I think you perfectly understood me this morning, that I did not wish you to take a t nY_ steps without hearing from me, it is perhaps bette r .° obviate the possibility of any mistake, that I shoul r distinctly say so. I shall b e governe d entirely by he Royal Highness's wishes and ord ers . —L'our's si,lcerelY* " FLORA ELIZA HASTING S. I heard nothing more on th e su bj ect till the . a l t , ) noon of the followin g d a y (Sunday, February 17,111 Pf when I received anoth er note f rom Lady ° High whc s h ir— the ß f y o i l i l e o r w l i t n o g ya is i a copy es : s's comma nd, I h 3v : c written to ask Si r Ch ar l es Clarke to name au hour t l " 5 afternoon to co me to me. He has answere d mY note by coming, and is now here. Could you come 0 meet him :'—You rs s i ncere l y . " F. E. HASTINGS. On receiving this note I immediately went t 0 Lady Flora, and found Sir Charles Clarke with her sLaysip He statd to Me, in Lady.Flras scnce d h ~ as part of the e conversation he hado had `pith her, that h e urged her, if there were any g rounds for the s u s pi c i ons entertained, to admit the fact now' as after the examination it would be too late. After this conversation, Lady Flora reques te er d n h that Lady Portman might be called in. O arrival, Lady Flora retired to her chamber, where her maid was in attendance. After Sir Cl Clarke had made an examination, he returned With me to the sitting room, and stated as the Sa ne r stol that there could be no pregnancy, but at the ,c time he expressed a wish that I also should mai' an examination. This I at first declined, stating, it to be unnecessary ; but, on his earnestly urgii.ig, me to do so, I felt that a further refusal might be cons t r ued into a desire to shrink from a share of the responsibility, and I accordingly yielded. Aft er finally consulting, we gave the following certifi cate : (COPY OF CERTIFICATE.)
