The Whigs are openly accused of apostacy be. cause they were the great opponents of popery under WILLIAM 111. and Queen ANNE, and under Queen VICTORIA look to her Catholic subjects for support, and have placed Papists in office. Such an accusation proves how much the mind of reason. ing man is controlled by language. Unreflecting politicians, like ALADDIN when lie struck the lamp with the wrong hand, get pommelled to death by the words they invoke. What was the situation of England at the close of the seventeenth century and at present After WILLIAM was placed on the throne, he had to contend for his independence, supported by the Whigs, who, though the most enlightened, were not the majority of the people, against a Monarch who inherited the prescriptive rights of many ages, and the attachment of a large body of the people. England and Holland, at the head of the Protestants of Europe, had to struggle against France, then a rigid Catholic country—against Spain, still more bigoted, though momentarily a prey to a war for the succession of the Crown, which the Whigs turned to the account of the Pro testant cause—against Austria, in principle Catholic, though politically hostile to France— and against the Papacy, which was then still a Power, both civil and religious, of alarming magnitude. More, pro bably, than one-half of Ireland, numerically speak ing, was disaffected to both WILLIAM and ANNE, served their enemies, and sought their overthrow. Their principal supporters were found in the towns of England and Scotland, and among the Whig aristocracy and their dependents. In England a large and powerful party clung to the exiled Monarch. The lesser country gen tlemen, a great number of the High Church Clergy, and not a few leading politicians, were st aunch Jacobites, who preferred hereditary right to religion, and look e d t o St. G e rmains or Rome as the abod e of their lawful Sovereign. Bo L NGBROK E and his friends treated with JAMES and his son, and did all in their power, first to re. store the former, and then to place the latter on the t h rone. There was then a Papal claimant to the throne possessing an un doubted hereditary right, and around him all the Papists of the empire, and a great number of Pro testants, were at all times ready to rally and subvert the throne which the Whigs had established. The Revolution was their work, and having achieved it they did right to maintain it by all the means in their power. A hatred of the Papacy was then another phrase for the maintenance of civil liberty ; and the penal laws, to which they subjected the Papists, being time followers of JAMES 11. and his son, and the allies of Catholic France and Spain, were equally politic and wise. Now the whole people of the empire are united round the throne of VICTORIA. There is no longer a Catholic Pretender in existence, and the Jacobites, having merged in the Tories, though still High Churchmen, have become loyal to the Whig-established throne. Of all other changes that which has converted the Tories and the Jac° - into supporters of the House of Hanover is ost important, and the one, because it has •. place i n t h emselves, they are the least o notice. They have reached now the poin r- r f+i,~~~ t~~~~ , 'News pA ,~.~* t _\"r ~7~~=l~# 1;2 THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOITER 28, which the Whigs. ached 19 wards of a coory ago, and they reproach the latter with apostacy because they have not stopped with the Tories, and have adapted their conduct to the altered circumstances of the country. If our domestic circumstances, including the an nihilation of a large party opposed to the reigning Sovereign, and centering their hopes in a Papal Pretender supported by Catholic Europe, are completely altered, the foreign relations of the country are equally changed. The Papacy, as a civil power, has ceased to exist, and, as a reli gious power, its influence in France, Spain, and Austria, compared to its influence a century and a half ago, is next to nothing. France has under gone a complete revolution, and though Catholicity is still the religion of the majority of her subjects, she has ceased to be a Catholic power. She is, moreover, our ally. We may again quarrel with her for political supremacy, but religion cannot now be an element in our contests. Spain is also our friend, and cares more for civil rights than religious supremacy. The elements for a national quarrel betwixt Catholics and Protestants no longer exist in Europe. The great opponent, not to say enemy, of England in politics is Russia, and Russia has persecuted the Catholics. She is re proached with her attempts to convert the Catho lics of Poland to the Greek faith, and would no where find more determined opponents than amongst the Catholics of Ireland. At present the policy of the empire and of the Whigs is to unite all her MAJESTY'S subjects, and, no longer making any distinction on account of religion, because religion can no longer be a source of a disputed succession or a national quar rel, to give all the sects in her dominions practi cally, as well as theoretically, equal civil rights. The Tories, however, have blindly adopted what was true policy of the ►'Whigs at the end of the seventeenth century, and insist on act ing on the letter which killeth, while they reject the spirit which giveth, life. They would make and perpetuate differences between Protestants and Catholics ; they would outrage the latter, and give privileges and power to the former ; and they would create in the heart of the empire eight millions of disaffected subjects who might, if the Tories were to rule, and a quarrel ensue between England and either Russia or France, be converted into allies of the QUEEN'S enemies. The Tories, in their pre tended love of Protestantism, still cling, as in the reign of ANNE, to the errors of a byegone age. The Whigs, true to the same principles they fol lowed in 1688, adapt their conduct to the circum stances of the times. Then it was right, when the Papists were struggling with the Protestants for supremacy, that the latter should secure their victory ; now both Papists and Protest ants are equally the loyal subjects of the QUEEN, and both equally merit the fullest pro tection in return for their obedience. The Whigs have not apostatised, but the Tories have adopted Whig policy a century after it has gone out of date, and cry out against their opponents and against society because they have not, like the Tories, stood still. At the end of the 17th century the safety of the empire required that the re ligious zeal of the Protestants should be nourished against the Catholics, the Jacobites, and the Tories ; now the safety of the empire requires that all quarrels on account of religion should cease ; and those are the wisest politicians who seek to unite around the throne of the QUEEN, and for the defence of the empire, all her subjects, whatever may be their religious creed. We have inserted elsewhere an article from the Inverness Journal on the subject of Sir JAMES CLARK'S "Statement," and on the spirit displayed by the parties concerned in getting up what we may call the ' 1 celebrated HASTINGS' case." The Inverness Courier takes the same view of the case that all the other newspapers in that part of the kingdom, with, we believe, one solitary exception, have adopted. The Scottish Press may, therefore, be said to be unanimous upon the subject. In England the Morning Post has had but few imitators even among those of its Contemporaries who embrace its own " whole hog" system of poli tical warfare. Sheer shame will sometimes supply the place of virtue. This degraded print, there fore, stands almost alone in the glory of slandering the innocent, and of attempting, by the basest means, and from the basest motives, to excite public hatred against the QUEEN for doing that, which, to have left undone, would have stained the honour of the Court, and exposed her MAJESTY to the just censure of the moral and right-thinking part of the community, as well as to the envenomed attacks of that very party who have found in the Morning Post a ready organ for the dissemina tion of their flagitious aspersions. The QUEEN has offended this party—offended them beyond the hope of forgiveness—by her frank and candid avowal that she preferred their political opponents to them, and by the firmness of purpose which she evinced in carrying her avowed predilection into practical effect. It is for this that her MAJESTY is treated with so much " disloyal insolence ;" it is for this unpardonable crime that she is designated a " barbarian" by the mouth-piece of that traitorous faction who have already been detected in one plot for preventing her succession to the throne, and would have no objection to enter into another to morrow for the purpose of dethroning her, but that they know she has rooted herself too deeply in the affections of the people, to leave them any chance of success. That the backers of the Morning Post meant to have proceeded a few steps farther than " disloyal insolence" there can be little doubt, among those who have watched the proceedings of the faction. Before the serpent swallows his victim he besmears it with his slime. The Post was merely the utensi employed to bespatter her MAJESTY, and it must be allowed that the work was done in a scavenger-like manner. Slime, and that of the most venomous , kind, was used in abundance; but, unfortunately for the plotters, none of it would stick. It all rebounded upon the assailants, covering them, if possible, with a thicker coating of infamy than that which enve loped them before. Had it been otherwise—had they succeeded in their preliminary project of lowering the QUEEN in the esteem, and of alienating from her the love of the people, the other acts of the eventful drama would have followed in quick succession, and Hanover would have supplied us with a Sovereign more congenial to the taste of Toryism. So far, however, from injuring her MAJESTY, the wicked attempt made to vilify her has had a di rectly contrary effect. It has acted, as such attempts always will act upon the hearts of En glishmen. It has rendered its innocent object dearer to them than ever. Wherever an oppor tunity occurs where masses of the people can express their sentiments, there we find attachment to the QUEEN manifested with a warmth which is no less gratifying to the friends of morality, of justice, of civil and religious liberty - , than it is hateful and confounding to her persecutors. A signal i ns t ance o f this cordiality occurred only the other day, which is worth recording, on account of the marked contrast which the assembly drew between the present and a late occupant of the throne. Mr. JELLINGER SYMONS, while lec turing classeducationa t Cheltenham,t o the w persons eek b e fo r o e of a t s h t e , made an allusion to the treatment experienced by MAJEST Y from the Tories, which was received a way that sufficiently hner class addressedshowsb. how that, the most rh important,Lecturer el a suiecthsisfeel towardsnumerous u h d e i r : tory : " In the reign of George the Fourth, one of the most notoriously dissipated Pi-inees who ever filled the throne, we were perpetually dinned ar4. deafened with the_noisy ostentatious loyalty of the Tory clergy—not, certainly, on account of his maintenance of religion, but because he ministered to the secular power el the Church.—( Cheers.) But now that we have a Sovereign who, whilst she sup ports the Church with one hand, presumes to maintain the rights of conscience with the other, we find a Minister of the Gospel who is not ashamed to launch forth his un founded insinuations against the fidelity and honour of a young, virtuous, but, thank God, whilst there are English hearts among the people—not a defenceless female.— ( Tremendous cheers. )" What an instructive comment are these cheers on the labours of the Morning Post and its patrons I We have not room to-day for the speech of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL at Edinburgh. It con tains a straight-forward statement of what had been done, and also of what had been undone, in the last Session of Parliament. Though we had reason at the time to blame some of his pro ceedings against the Chartists, we cannot deny him the merit which he claims for having set his face against any attempt to put them down by the mili tary, or to introduce gagging laws, after the fashion of Tory Governments. His assertion on this sub ject is fully intitled to credit, for it is consistent with his practice, which forms such a contrast with that of a former Attorney-General, who had an absolute rage for filing ex-sincio informations. We stated on Friday last, that the Journal des Debats was mistaken in asserting that the Cabinets of London and Madrid had severally importuned the French Government to grant passports to Don CARLOS. We have the best authority for an nouncing that the statement which we then made was perfectly correct. So far have the Govern ments of England and Spain been from soliciting the liberation of the Pretender, that they have both formally and diplomatically protested against such a measure on the part of France. We regret to have to add that such strong remonstrances had become necessary, in consequence of the disposition evinced by the French Cabinet, of paying more regard to the wishes of the Northern Powers than to the faith of a solemn treaty. But though the passports are for the present with held, we doubt whether they will be so for any considerable length of time, unless Louis PHILIPPE happens to make a discovery of the very obvious fact, that it is of far less importance to him to conciliate Austria than to lose the confidence of England and Spain. He ought to be sensible by this time of the impotence of the Northern Powers, as the Conservators of Royal dynasties, when become obnoxious to the hatred of the people ; and,las he has irretrievably lost the hie:A ship of the CZA R, it is in vain to endeavour to aver t the consequences of Russian antipathy by courting the embraces of Prince 'METTERNICH. The King of the FRENCH repeats, with a well-feigned con viction of their force, all the set phrases of the Le gitimists about the unworthiness of acting as the jailor of unfortunate Princes ; but he needs no ghost to tell him that the restraining the actions of a faithless, bigoted, and sanguinary despot is more likely to be accepted as a guarantee of his personal attachment to Liberal principles by the French people, than his letting loose CARLOS is to be attributed to any generous impulse. The extent of his commisseration for the unhappy is too well known to be mistaken in an instance of this sort. There are situations in which it is the inte rest of despots to express the greatest horror of despotism ; and LOUIS PHILIPPE can afford to do so with the better grace as, by an existing treaty, he is precluded from extending that Regal hospita lity to the Pretender of which he affects to be so enamoured. But after all we can hardly per suade ourselves that the King of the FRENCH would prefer being charged with a breach of a solemn Treaty, ratified in conjunction with three other Sovereigns in the face of all Europe, than with being wanting in Regal commisseration for the well-merited misfortunes of a rebel member of the Spanish BOURBON family. Letters and papers from Madrid, of the 19th inst., state that the Fueros Bill was under discus sion in the Senate, where it was warmly supported by the Members of the Government. The Depu ties postponed the debate on the address in answer to the speech from the Throne, fixed for the 18th, till after the adoption of the Fueros Bill by the upper branch of the Legislature. The QUEEN REGENT has conferred the Grand Cross of Isabel the Catholic on General MAROTO. CABRERA is stated to have made vast prepara tions for the defence of all his strong holds in Ca talonia, Arragon, and Valencia. Can tavieja, Morella, and Segura, are provisioned each for a year ; and for more than five leagues around them the roads are either entirely destroyed or blocked up with immense rocks, so as to prevent the ap proach of cavalry and heavy guns. It was the prevailing opinion in Madrid that if ESPARTERO succeeded in dislodging him before the spring, he will have well earned all the honours recently showered upon him by his grateful Sovereign. The news brought by the French "Journals of Friday and Saturday is varied and interesting, though not of much political importance. It con sists for the most part of an account of the pro gress of the war in Circassia ; of the latest diplo matic gossip from Constantinople and Alexandria ; and of the aspect of affairs in Spain—the substance of which will be found under the proper heads in another part of The Sun. Of domestic news we find little or nothing of any moment in any of the French Journals. The Quo/idiot:re, a Carlist organ, states that CABRERA attacked and defeated General DIEGO LEON at Arniella, and took two battalions and three squadrons prisoners, besides capturing three pieces of cannon. It is a less questionable fact that the same CABRERA caused the unfortunate Brigadier-Ge neral BERENGERO to be shot, for proposing all accommodation with the QUEEN'S Government. Among the inhuman atrocities committed on both sides we learn with horror and indignation that the Christinos, by way of reprisal, caused the daughter of PALILLos, a young girl only seventeen years of age, to be led forth and publicly shot ! The Sentinelle des Pyrenees, has an article, beaded "Th eEn g lishi nGuipuscoa , "complainingoftheoccup a ti on of Passages on the coast of Spain by the English. The jour nal allows that it might he necessary for the English to raise fortifications during the war, and does justice to the bravery displayed by them on many occasions ; but adds, now that the provinces arc pacified, the coast has nothing to fear from the Carlists, of what use, then, are the English at Passages ? Let it not be said that the French Government has counterbalanced the in fluence of England by sending the Hermione to anchor in the port. This is no counterbalanc e at all ; for in the first place the English have two ships of war and all the advantages of the position ; Great Britain has what France has not, the Royal Marines, who are well disciplined, consisting of the finest and most intrepid men ; they are quartered in the Jesuit Convent, which they have made the gate of the town, so that if anybody wants to go to St. Se. bastain, they must pass through the English Furcw Caudinw. At a short distance from Lese you have an English redoubt on your right hand; beyond the Pond, near La Herrera, you have another on your left, and some others in different parts. In short, the English redoubts command everywhere, and the post itself is entirely in the power of the English ; it is enclosed on both sides by the heights, of which they have taken possession, so that if they had a mind to drive us from Passages, they would burn the Hermione by the fire of their forts, without our being able 'o make any resistance ; nothing would be more easy. Our seaman are almost always on board, the English troops are always on shore, living among the people, fraternising with them, perhaps giving parties. The French are hardly known, the English are as if they were natives of the country. Such is the position which this eternal rival of France has gained at Passages. We do not, however, accuse—we warn ; and being persuaded that without English needts favour, o t u h r e , quire that the Spanish Go call on our Government to require England to leave a English troops for the services • the provinces have no ini they p i ne m l f : o a erir ; i e tclhs d ;'hr o aias n nl e icetent a ai rn t e li klly : ; C hee o r n E' s ' tit utiom,l eau and remov a them speedily from a place where their logger stay might be fatal to the independence of the Peninsula.—Le Commerce.

CRIMINAL coURT.—(THIS DAY ) OLD COURT George Cant, a respectable looking man, was in dicted for a rape upon Jane Bolland on the 4th of the present month. _ . Mr. Adolphus and Mr. Ballantync conducted the case for the prosecution ; and Mr Phillips and Mr. Bodkin defended the prisoner. After a lengthened investigation the Jury returned a verdict of guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the RECORDER.) Win. and Frtderick Hager were indicted for as saulting Thomas Reynolds and Wm. Lawrance, two constables of the Walthamstowe Police, in the execu tion of their thity, on the night of the 28th of St'ptem. ber last. It appeared from the evidence given by the police, and two inhabitants of lArdthairistowe, who were called from their beds, that about half-past eleven o'clock on the night named in the indictment the prosecutors were oti duty, and saw a crowd of nearly twenty persons conducting themselves very riotously near the Coach and Horses, one man was on the ground, and appeared to have been knocked down by one of the prisoners. Reynolds went up and wArneti them to disperse, when one of the prisoners threw off his coat and began to attack him. He wrenched his stick from him, and beat him very severely. He gave an alarm, and Lawrance, his brother constable came up to his assistance, but he was immediately attacked by the other prisoner—his stick was taken from him—both the constables were knocked down, and so severely treated that both of them were bleeding, and it was scarcely expected that Reynolds would live during the night. The police men having been taken home a surgeon attended, to dress their wounds, and information was given at the station house. The sergeant and two other constables went to the house of the prisoners' mother, but they both effected their escape by a back door. The police took a younger brother, but he was liberated, not being identified as one of the parties. While lie was in Reynold's house the two prisoners forced the door rushed in and attacked the Sergeant and the two con stables—they were very violent, and the Sergeant was ob , iged to use his cutlass, by which both of the prisoners were severely cut on the head and legs—the prisoner, William Hagger, was so violent that he could not be secured until he was knocked down with a handcuff, which severely cut his cheek. They were eventually secured and lodged in the Station-house, where their wounds were dressed. The policeman, Lawrence, was much marked, and Reynolds was still lame from the in juries he received. Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the Jury at consider able length for the prisoners, and contended that the witnesses had very considerably coloured the evidence. The Jury found the prisoners guilty. Some of them were anxious to recommend them to mercy, but the Learned Recorder said he could not take it as part of the verdict, unless they all agreed in it. The RECCMDER sentenced them to he imprisoned in the House of Corroction for nine ,al , nflar months. HATTON-GARDEN.-(THIS DAY.) PROSECUTION OF A SON BY HIS PARENTS.—A hardened young ruffian, named William Charles Pellet!, who behaved throughout the whole of the proceedings with the most impudent nonchalance, was placed at the bar, charged with stealing a silver snuff-box, the pro perty of his father. The father, a respectable looking man, who carrics on the business of an egg merchant in Bloomsbury Market, stated that the prisoner, who is nineteen years of age, was his son ; that he had apprenticed him to various masters, with none of whom would he stay, declaring that he never would, work for his living ; that latterly he had taken him borne, whet...-. he had been in the habit of stealing everything he could lay hands on, and ex pending the proceeds of his plunder in the rookery at St. Giles's, among thieves of the lowest order, and that he was unwillingly forced to bring him before a Magistrate, in order, if possible, to save him from de struction. The mother of the prisoner, who was so much af fected as to be scarcely able to give her evidence, stated that on Saturday last she saw the snuff box pro duced, which is the property of her husband, safe in the secretary. That the prisoner shortly after came in, and on his going out again the snuff-box was gone. On his return in the evening he was given into custody. J. Baynton, a pawnbroker, proved that the prisoner pledged the box with him for twelve shillings. The prisoner, in his defence, said he was in liquor. He was fully committed. THE POLICE AND THE APPLEWOMEN.—Mary 111u!looney was charged with creating an obstruction, and following her worldly calling on the Sabbath. It appeared that the defendant had been selling fruit in Goswell-street yesterday afternoon, and had been warned repeatedly against creating an obstruction, that site moved off when told, but immediately returned to her old situation. The policeman said be was obliged to take her into custody, for she followed him to the station-house, and would not go away. In her defence she said she had no other way of maintaining herself and her husband, who was ill in bed. Inspector Penny said he knew what she stated was a fact, as regarded her husband. Mr. GREENWOOD—You have committed two of. fences, pursuing your worldly calling on the Lord's Day, and creating an obstruction. Will you promise not to do so again ? Defendant—l will not go out during the time of service ; but what am Ito do, I am willing to work, but can get none? I must get my living. Mr. GREENWOOD—Not in an unlawful way. I shall discharge you now, but if the practice is continued, I must enforce the strict letter of the law by way of example. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY,) EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF A SPANISH NOBLEMAN AT THE CLARENDON HOTEL BY HIS SERVANTS.— Amongst the night c;‘arge, brought to this office this mornin , was the following one of extensive robbery. A Spaniard of dwarf stature, twenty-six years of age, and very fashionably dressed, was charged with stealing one diamond pin of the value of '2501., an emerald pin value 501., a ruby ring, a quantity of goid and silver foreign coin, a 20/. and a Si. Bank of England Notes, a large quantity of wearing apparel, and other property to the amount of 4,5001., belonging to his master, Count Nicholas Santos Shuaraz, a Spanish nobleman of high distinction. It appears that the Count was on a visit of pleasure to this country, and for the last few weeks occupied a suite of apartments at the Clarendon Hotel, New Bond-street. The prisoner had accompanied his Lordship to England in the capacity of travelling ser vant, and unlimited confidence was placed in his integ rity. On Saturday afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock, the Count returned home, after taking equestrian exer cise in Hyde Park, and was surprised at finding his servant absent, and the doors of his apartments all locked. On one of them being forced, the discovery was made that several drawers had been broken open, and For icns of their contents were strewed about the floor, and the property in question was directly missed. In formation of the occu►rence was immediately sent to the police station-house of the C division, in Vine -street, Piccadilly, and Inspector Beresford, after proceeding to the Clarendon ,and closely investigating all the circum stances under which the robbery was committed, proceeded to trace out the prisoner, whom he knew by sight. Sus pecting that,as he was a foreigner, and could not speak any language but his own, that he would immediately make for the Continent, the inspector resolved on overlook ing every steam-vessel leaving the port of London for foreign ports ; and just before ten o'clock yesterday morning, as he was stepping on board the City of Bou logne steam ship, then just about to start from London Bridge Steam Packet Wharf, he saw the prisoner stand ing on deck amongst the passengers. The recognition seemed to be mutual, for the prisoner instantly darted forward, and was found concealed in a water-closet. Th e whole of the property was found in his possession ; the emerald pin he was wearing in his cravat. He made not the slightest resistance. Since he has been in custody he has shown much vivacity for a person in his situation. He has endea voured by gestures to inquire of the police whether he will be hanged for his offence. The Count not being in attendance, the case was ordered to stand over until the afternoon.

I EARTHQUAKE IN SCOTLAND. On Wednesday evening, about fifteen minutes past I to n o'clock, a sl - e.ck of an earthquake was felt all over this city, in Leith, Portobello, and Newhaven. It continued for about fifteen or twenty seconds, And occa sioned a tremulous motion In the floors of the ',rouses where it w.is observed, as if rocking up and down, ac cornpanied will) a rattling of the windows and an un dulating movement of the chairs, totally unlike any other noise, or any shaking occasioned by the passage on the street of heavy carriages. It was decidedly felt in many houses, arid at exactly the same Time, in various streets both in the Oil and New Town, and occasioned no little alarm.—Edinburgh Courant STIRLING.—About a quarter of an hour after ten o'clock on Wednesday night, the &hock of an earth quake was felt at Causew.iyhead, distant rather more than a mPe from Stirinz. It is said to have been ac companied b 3 the sarne rumbling noise that had been described as attending the recent shocks at Crieff and Comrie, and also to have been so severe as to shake the houses, and, in some instances, to make articles of , earthen and crystal ware rattle and strike against each other. The shock was felt, at the same time, in the lower parts of Stirling—particularly in Cowan-street , the Terrace, and Wellington- pia ce ; but it does not appear to have "Yen nearly so violent as at Causeway head, and many places ajacent to it. ALLOA.—Two Very smart shocks were felt here on Wednesday night, the one about a quarter past ten, and the other about twenty-five minutes before eleven. The first, and by for the most severe of the two, indi cat< d its approach in a loud noise something like distant thunder, but much more awful and alarming. Many people felt their beds considerably agitated, and furni ture of all kinds, especially crockery and clock work (the weights) shook violently. House-bells in some places were set a-ringing, and some people were so ter rifled as to run to the stre :Is. The second shock was much slighter, but those who felt any of them, describe themselves as beicg in the most disagreeable state imaginable. (Accounts from Kincardine and Fifeshire state that the shocks were distinctly felt in these quarters at the same time, and caused great alarm. In Perthshire they have been frequent for fully ten da)s, but it does not appear that any shock was felt on Wednesday, when the earthquake was so gener.tl further South).

The journal at the tat" time makes some observations on Messrs. Hammon d and Lloyd's proposal of an annuity for 14 years ; it is 11 thing so far from th e compre h ens i on o f a G ree k (wn ° under the Turks was never sure of his life for five on' nutes), that they imagine it some of the unaccountabl e plans of Regny and Co. for entrapping them into losing at the end of 14 years the whole of their property : "that Eynard," says the journal, " should invent such things we can believe, but that an honourable English banker can lend his name to such an invention is ire credible."

EARTHQUAKES IN PERTHSHIRE.-The fol lowing is a fuller and more particular account of the earthquakes lately experienced in Perthshire than we were able to give on Wednesday last. It is from the pen of a gentleman who lives about six miles east from Cowie :—On Thursday the 10th instant, between four and five in the morning (he says), a shock was felt by many persons, the noise accompanying which was such as to induce the belief, at least in one family, who were ignorant of the real cause, that . an adjoining house► occupied by them as a workshop, had fallen to the ground. On Saturday the 12th, at one o'clock after noon, a second shock was felt, accompanied by a very long and loud peal, which seemed to proceed from the hills situated to the west ; and two hours thereafter, this was succeeded by a third, equal to or more s evere than the former. The clouds were low, and resting 00 the hills, with occasionally a drizzle. On Monday the 14th, at three in the afternoon, when the writer was within doors, the well-known sound was again heard approaching from the west. It increased in loudness as it. drew near ; then something seemed to disturb the foundations of the house, and to heave up the floor ; the windows shook viol:ntly ; and the noise passed away to the east or north-east, moving with prodigious velo city, until it was lost in the distance. All this might occupy the space of half a minute ; the weather was thick and hazy. This morning between two anc three we had another shock, though not so severe as that of Monday, The sound accompanying th'e earthquake has been compared to thunder ; it, however, wants its magnificence and sublimity.

William Watts, tliC Ulan who was detected in shooting cattle, at Buxsons belonging to Mr. Mack, was put upon his trial a t the Nostol Quarter Sessions last week for that offence. It will be remembered that a large quantity o f c attle had been shot in the parish of Buxton, scarcely a da y passing without a horse, ox, or cow being found de sd, or in a dying state. This had created extreme alarm , in the minds of the farmers, and the Norwich Pa ce were procured to watch during the night, and de tect the infamous perpetrators of the outrages. Every sus ; picious person was narrowly watched ; but many day elapsed, the outrages still continuing, without th e ,u ls i covery of the offender. On the morning of the iStrii°o- August last, about one o'clock, the policemen on. -t" watch suddenly heard the report of a gun, and oti in the direction of Mr. Mack's fields, they saw a cow in the agonies of death. They separated in different di rections, and one of them saw a man with. a. gun skulking under the hedge, where he had been . for some short time concealed. He followed him, and with the assistance of his companions, captured Wino - and he was safely lodged in gaol. The officers then searched Watts's house. in which they found a Pulle t " mould, in which the balls taken out of the body of the cosv exactly fitted. The prisoner was a returned ec' °- vict, bearing a most infamous character, and the cause of his vindictiveness appears to be his ha yin b een served with a summons by Mr. Mack. T: prisoner, in his defence, denied the fact, stating that he was only out seeing who was watching. The PI found him Guilty, and the Court sentenced him t° transportation for life. The prisoner asked leave to 90 a few words to the Court, when he acknowledged the justice of the sentence, and said that the true; poor laws and the rates and taxes now imposed tiro) tha t poor labourer drove him to dishonesty. H e would no see his children starve, while he was called on to Or port full-fed relieving_ officers, and other officers OW neuted with th em an d the unions.
