~;. J." and strengthen more and more, for the benefit of both nations, the friendship and alliance which happily unite France and Spain." On the 19th, M. CAZES, the French spy, took his departure from Madrid. Senor CALATRAVA had informed the French Ambassador, in the course of thei r first interview, that her MAJESTY'S Government could not tolerate the presence of such a person in Spain. The Count de LATOUR MA ÜBOURG assured the President of the Council that he was ignorant CAZES' character, and that he only suffered him to join the embassy at Bayonne in the capacity of inter pi•eter. He was, however, quite willing to send him linroe, if such was the will of the President of the Council. CALATRAVA judged it prudent to accept the Count's explanation, and to content himself with sending about his business the creature of a Court which seeks now to rival St. Fetersburgh in its lave of intrigues of the most petty description. CALATRAVA knew right well that CAZES the spy was intended to act as the real representative of Louts PHILIPPE in Spain ; that he had come hissing hot from the Tuilleries, with instructions of much more Inoment than those officially delivered to the Minis ter; and therefore his firmness in ordering him out of th e country is deserving of very great praise. The' general Cortes were to meet on the 24th inst. On th e .20th the number of Deputies arrived in Ma drid exceeded seventy. The Catlists were most ac tive in spreading rumours, and in fomentin g divisions, with a v i ew to re t ar d the meeting of that Assembly. Preliminary meetings were held to make the neces sary arrangements for the opening of the Grand Cortes, of which a condensed account is given under the head Spain, in another part of The Sun. This includes all that we find in the journals before us relative to the civil state of Spain. The move ments of the belligerents will be found detailed in a separate article. _ The Carlist chief GoMEz is in a fair way of slip- Ping through the fingers of the QUEEN'S Generals, Whose treachery or incapacity every day renders more apparent. In truth we know not what the great bulk of them are fit for, but writing despatches in the ge nuine Munchausen style. Employed as secre taries of auctioneers, they would do wonders. From t he Madrid journals received to the 21st inst., we learn that GOMEZ, finding it impracticable to advance, fell back on the city of Cordova, which he re-entered, and again quitted it at midnight on the 13th, three hours before the arrival of General ALAIX, at the head of his division. On the 14th ALAIX addressed the following bombastic despatch to QurRoGA, Cap tain-General of Granada, which the latte r instantl y forwarded to t l ,:e Government " Most Excellent Sir,—The rebel horde will no longer in fest the territory of Andalusia. Had it not been for their pre cipitate flight from the city of Cordova last ni g ht, the y would have been annihilated for ever. My division, being anxious to Come up with the rebels, continued its mar ch the whole ni g ht l ong, and at three o'clock in the morning we entered the town. The rebel Gomez had left three hours before : nevertheless, a number of prisoners are in the power of the division ; and arms and other warlike stores have been seized. It appears that the rebel has left two eight-pounders buried in the vicinity of Lueena, so great was the affright with which he fled from my division, Two forced marches have served to defeat all his mad proje,lts of invasion. The rebel band is retiring towards La Mancha, by the Sierra Morena, and by the way of Pozo Blanc o ... We greatly fear that the annihilation of GOMEZ is not reserved for the puissant valour of the Com mandant-General of the third division of the Army of the North, the invincible Don ISIDRO ALAIX. Our apprehension is founded upon his adoption of the war like tactics of his predecessor, ESPARTERo, who always contrived to cut a figure in the background. ESPARTERO's dispatches might all be compressed in One pithy sentence— ,, Just too late !" With the ene m y twelve hours' march in advance of him, he could do wonders. But the rascals would not stand to b e shot, so there was no help for it, but run after them at a safe distance. Before GOMEZ crossed the Sierra Morena he di vided his forces into two bodies, over one of which he placed CABRERA, QUILEZ, and SERRADOR, with directions to proceed to the succour of Cantavieja, while lie with the other would endeavour to join SANZ in Leon. By this skilful movement lie completely baffl e d all the plans laid by General RODIL for cap turing, him. Should the Carlist chiefs succeed in r eaching Cantavieja before the approach of General 'JAN MIGUEL, who was to attack it on the 24th, they may be able to effect the removal of their prisoners, Plunder, and stores, if they find themselves not in a condition to defend the town against the troops of the Captain -General. The accoun t s from Leon are interesting. General 'EON, who had been appointed to head the expedi tion against the Carlist chief SANz, was on the 17th deposed by his men, who appointed Gene ral as their leader. PEON'S dismissal by his troops has been confirmed by the Govern ment. The deposition of P EON p roves that the QUEE N may rely with more confidence on the Nelity of the troops than on the alle g iance and 11 ° 11 0Lir, of her generals ; for no doubt exists as to 1,0 Ec'N's treachery. Under the pretext of procuring electim; as a Member of the Cortes, he remained for two days at Reynosa, and two more at Aviedo, l eaving th e rebels to pillage the countr y without mo 'estation or apprehension. The men saw that his ob ject was not to prevent, but to cover the Carlist expe ditionV ; and fearing that he would betray them into the hand s of the enemy, they took the precaution to r t e- p ounce his authority. In doing so they nobly dis 41arged a most important duty to their country. It v ias this PEON who advised the drafting of the 2,300 troops from San Sebastian preparatory to the Carlist atta c k of the 21st inst., and who subsequ entl y ordered t he troops so drafted to form a coast guard at Santona, Instead of intercepting the march of SANz into the Asturias. Had PEON no criminal motive in ex 1/°sing San Sebastian to the attacks of the flower o f th e Carlist army, headed by the Commander in- Chief ? We cannot acquit *him of intentional built, especially as the troops drawn from the d efence of to important a garrison were neither employed a gainst the e nemy nor ordered back. The real trut h is, th a t very f ew o f the Spanish Generals in the ser tlce of the Queen are well disposed at heart toward s ..e Le g i on , and there are more than CORDOVA who Mo uld not re'ret their defeat by the Carlists. The of ficers of th e 'L eg ion are too brave, too honest, and too stra ightforward t o be favourites with the courtier - Ge - Ile s r als, who figure in the Constitutional army list of Pain. The advices from the North of Spain represent the Carlists as preparing to make another grand attack on Sa n Sebastian ; and if that fail, to make themselves ma sters of Bilboa, with a view to cover the smugg li ng bo ast trad e , an d to l ea v e facilities for obtaining succours d f , l se a• According; to advices received by a morning Con temporary, emporary, theCarlists under EGUIA have already ' ttl 4 1 , Bilboa—thus reversing the first order for con oiltmg the operations.

Ives the West Worcestershire Conservative As• elati ", got up an affair yesterday, at the Lion, in ~,r` , I that town, under the high-sounding title of a " Grand Dinner," which seems, even by the reports in the Tory Papers, to have been a complete failure. The Wor cestershire Tories of any respectability appear to have been heartily ashamed of the thing. Colonel LYGON, indeed, did muster courage to face the meeting, and though the Gallant Officer has on many occasions dis tinguished himself by his bravery in the field, we look upon his attendance on this occasion, as the most coura geous act he ever performed. Lord EASTNOR was to have presided—so at least it is given out—but the Noble Lord shirked the Kidderminster people ; and instead of coming himself to occupy the Chair, sent a substitute in the shape of a letter, to state that he had mistaken the clay, and could not possibly keep his engagement ! This backing-out of his Lordship chagrined the motley assemblage to such a degree, that they could not help marking their sense of the slight put upon them, by conveying to their absent Chairman an indirect reproof in one of their toasts. When Colonel LYGoN's health was drunk, this significant appendage was attached to whose mottt was punctuality in every engagement." The Clergy, too, turned their backs on this unfortunate meeting, which shows more than almost any other cir cumstance that could be mentioned what a pitiful sort of thing it must have been, Had this Kidderminster concern been calculated to promote the cause of Toryism, we should not have missed a pretty consi derable sprinkling of parsons at it. When, however, the " Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese" was given from the Chair, with three times three, nobody got up to return thanks ; nor would thanks have been re turned at all, had not somebody spied a worthy Curate sitting near the bottom of the table, and called out his name. The Rev. Gentleman seemed quite astonished that he should be expected to officiate on such an occasion, as he was " an unbeneficed clergyman," and, therefore, " not called upon to acknowledge the toast." There was sound sense in the observation. The benefices are, in strict propriety, the Church of England. Cu rates have quite duty enough to perform for all the compensation they receive, without making speeches for those who have no pastoral duties to discharge, but to shear the sheep and carry off the fleece ; and we join this ill-used gentleman in protesting against the intro duction of so indefensible a practice. It is but justice to say that the Curate's speech, unprepared as it must have been, was by far the best that was delivered at this meeting. We must not omit to notice a vehement ebullition of rage which burst from a - worthy gentleman of the name of CLIFTON, who—When some one had been boasting of the re-action which was stated to hare taken place among the Operatives—related to the meet ing an anecdote which does not seem to us to corroborate that view of the case. An Operative, said he, had made a blasphemous allusion to the Liturgy of the Church by " talking of the Tories as being dead, but without the sure and certain hope of a joyful resurrection." Now the Operative who said this was a shrewd, as well as a witty fellow, and spoke, we are satisfied, the real sen timents of every Operative and every rational person in the three kingdoms. LITERATURE. DR. BROOKES'S GENERAL ATLAS OF MODERN GEOGRAHY, Containing 34 Maps, with the New Discoveries and Terri torial Arrangements. W. Darton and Son, London, 1836. A collection of Maps, remarkable for their accuracy, and also for containing all the most recent geographi cal discoveries. The compiler is Dr. Brookes, who has performed his task with most commendable dili gence. From its convenient size, this work is admi rably adapted to lie on the table of the historical student, as a book of reference. ENGLISH ANNUAL. Churton, London, 1836. We have here another of the fruitful family of the Annuals ; endowed with a very personable and pre sentable exterior ; full of various prose and verse of more than average merit; and by no means wanting in the number or the excellence of its embellishments. The " English Annual " is, in truth, a very creditable sample of its class, as the public will not be slow to perceive. Contrary, however, to the wont of these gay ephemera, its literary department is, as a whole, better sustained than its pictorial. Many of the tales de serve, and would assuredly obtain, admission into the very best periodicals of the day, especially one entitled " Walstein, or a Cure for Melancholy," whose only fault is, that the drift of it is not quite so evident as with a little more pains-taking it might have been. It is the production of Mr. D'lsraeli, a man of genius, of taste, and of feeling, as a novelist, but a most exe crable politician. " Vevay and Clarens," by Mr. St. John, is a vivid description of scenes immortalized by the pen of Rosseau, and proves how interesting a trite theme may become in the hands of a man of ta lent. " Lucid Interval of a Mad Prisoner," is also a striking tale from the pen of a practised writer, to whom we are indebted for an able series of papers that, if we mistake not, appeared some time since in " Fraser's Magazine." As regards the engravings, they are creditable to the artists, being skillfully exe cuted, if not in a first-rate manner. HISTORY OF THE WEST INDIES. Whittaker, London, 1836. The little volume before us is the production of Mr. Montgomery Martin, one of the most able statistic writers of the day, to whose unwearied industry and research we are indebted for that popular work, the " History of the British Colonies." His account of Jamaica, which is exceedingly minute and faithful, is introduced by a map of that island, neatly engraved by Walker. The most interesting portion of the volume is that which describes the indigenous forests and exotic trees of Jamaica. STORY'S SONGS. Fraser, London, 1836. A very tolerable collection of gentlemanlike poesy, just calculated to wile away an idle half hour, then to be thrown aside, and forgotten. The author has skill in versification, and if not remarkable for the absolute sagacity of his ideas, is at least worthy of praise for the easy, and we may add, musical, flow of his numbers. TORY NEWSPAPERS.—The most extraordinary exertions are making throughout the whole of the counties of Devon and Dorset, and parts of Somerset, to exclude any but Newspapers in the Conservative interest from all the great inns on the principal lines of road in those counties, and it is said by many persons, who are supposed to know something of the matter, that Conservative newspapers are supplied to those establishments gratis, the expense being defrayed out of the Conservative fund —Bath Herald. SEDUCTION AND ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yes terday afternoon, between two and three o'clock, a respectably dressed female was observed by two labourers walking along the bank of the Regent's Canal, towards the Harn psted road. They had not passed her above 100 yards when one of them, turning round, discovered that she had suddenly disappeared, He expressed his apprehension to his compa nion that all was not right, and they immediately hastened to the spot, where they observed a bonnet and shawl lying upon the bank, and, upon a nearer approach, saw the unfor tunate woman floating in the middle of the canal, and appa rently kept on the surface by the inflation of her clothes. Otis of them immediately jumped in and brought her in safety out of the water, arid conveyed her to a cottage not far distant, where she was promptly and kindly attended to by the inhabitant, and her clothes taken off and dried. When first taken into the house, the poor creature, who was apparently about 22 or 23 years old, appeared in a most de plorable state of mind, but after a short time she became more composed, and stated her name to be Ellen Forder, that her parents were respectable tradespeople, residing near lox ton, and that the had left her father's house about ten days since with a young man, who was a clerk in a banking esta blishment in the City, and Ow had paid his addresses to her ;Tozegy for upwards of eighteen months ; she said he had induced her 0 leave home under the promise of marry ing her, and that he kok her to some apai tments which he had provided in Somers' Town, where he effected her ruin. He visited ber constantly till Wednesday, and on Thursday she received a letter from him, stating that he could not see her again, as he was about to reside at Ham burgh, and should leave London that day. He proposed that the wedding should take place last Monday, but in conse quence, as he said, of not rpreivin K amPfiIPIIPY Which he ex pected, he begged it to be postponed for a wppi pf twp. The unfortunate creature stated that, n o t d ar i n g to go to her friends, whom she believed to be e eliasnpriitpd at hcr conduct that they would turn their backs upon her, and seeing ligt means of getting a living but in the streets (a life at which her nature revolted), s h e 1 1 4 determined t o p ut a per i o d to an ex i s t ence which must be herept;Or rpi47,prable.

REGISTRATION OF VOTERS, WESTMINSTER. SESSION'S HOUSE.—(THIS DAY.) Messrs. MYLNE and CRAIG sat here this morning for the purpose of receiving the different lists of parishes whici were handed in and proved by the vestry clerks and overseers. Messrs. MYLNE and CRAIG were not occupied more than half an hour. The Learned Gentlemen then returned to the city, where it is expected they will terminate their pro ceedings in the course of the day. They will resume their sittings here on Monday, when they will proceed with the revision of the lists (which were handed in this morning) in alphabetical order. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Charles Williams was indicted with forging and uttering as true an order for the payment of 631., with intent to defraud Sir James Esdaile and others. Mr. BODKIN, in stating the case to the Jury on behalf of the prosecution, observed that it was not his intention to call evidence as to the prisoner being the person who forged the cheque, but he should confine himself to the charge against the prisoner of uttering the cheque, knowing it to be a forgery. Edward Beech stated that he carried on the business of a wax-chandler, in Lime-street. On Saturday, the 15th of the present month, in the evening, the prisoner came to his shop. He asked if Mr. Beech was at home. Wit ness said his name was Beech ; and he then handed him a note, which he said he had brought from Mr. Harris. After reading the note, he turned to the other side, thinking the cheque might be there, but finding none, he asked witness if he had it ; he said he had, but he did not produce it. The following was the note : " Dear Sir—l have just purchased a horse of the bearer; as it is too late for him to get cash for a cheque at my banker's, if you can do it, or get get it done for me, you will oblige your's, &c. " CHAS. HARRIS." Witness said he was sorry he could not accommodate Mr. Harris at that moment, having paid his cash in his banker's, and all that he had in the house in the shape of money was a cheque for 1001. 15s. Witness knew Mr. Harris well ; he was a medical man, and attended his family. The pri soner then asked him if he would write a note to say that he could not do it to Mr.: Harris, which he did. The prisoner on leaving his shop said it was of no consequence ; he a as going to Gravesend in the morning, but it would detain him a few hours. That observation caused witness to suspect it was a forgery, and he desired his shop lad to follow the prisoner. After the boy's return, witness called on Mr. Harris, to whom he communicated what had taken place, and also showed him the note. On Monday witness was sent for by Mr. Harris, at whose house he saw the prisoner at the bar, whom he immediately recognised as the man who had presented the note to him on Saturday. The prisoner made no reply when he said he was the man. He had no doubt of the prisoner being the person. William King, a boy in the employ of Mr. Beech, re collected the prisoner coming to his master's shop on Sa turday the 15th of the present month. In consequence of his master desiring him to do so, he followed him, when he left the shop, but lost him in the crowd. He went in a contrary direction to that which led to Mr. Harris' house. Mr. Charles Harris, a surgeon residing in Fenchurch street, stated that on Saturday the 15th, he called on Mr. Beech in consequence of a message that had been left at the house, and on account of a communication made to him by Mr. Beech, he went on Monday morning to his banker's, Messrs. Esdaile, and informed one of the cashiers there that he had reason to suspect that a forged cheque in his name would be presented that morning, at the same time showing him the note the prisoner had given to Mr. Beech. About 11 o'clock that morning the prisoner was brought to his house in custody by Mr. ,Twigg, one of the cashiers of Esdaile's house, who produced a cheque, which witness imme diately declared to be a forgery. Mr. Beech was then sent for by him ; both the note and the cheque were forgeries, and were not written by witness, or by any person under his di rection. Mr. Charles Twigg, was cashier to the house of lisdaile and Co. Mr. Harris banked with them in October last. The cheque produced was presented on Monday morning the 19th October, about eleven o'clock, by the prisoner. Witness asked him if he presented it for payment, to which he replied he did. Previous to that time a communication had been made to the banking-house from Mr. Harris, in consequence of which he told the prisoner he must accompany him to the gentleman who had drawn the cheque. The prisoner did not offer any oppo sition, but walked quietly with him towards Fenchurch-street, where M. Harris resided. After they had gone some distance the prisoner said, " I hope you will not detain me long, for the coach leaves town in five minutes, and I am going by it." When they were in Fenchurch-street, be said, " Had we not better return to Smithfield, in order that I may endeavour to find out the person, who gave me the draft." Witness said no, he must first go to Mr. Harris. When they were near a public-house he said to witness, " Will you come in and take some refreshment." Witness thanked him, and told him he supposed he (the prisoner) stood in need of some re freshment, having been as he said, at Smithfield market as early as five o'clock, but he (witness) did not re quire any. Nothing further passed till they got to the house of Mr. Harris. On arriving there the check was produced to Mr. Harris, and declared to be a forgery by him. Mr. Beech was not there then, and before he arrived, witness had given the prisoner into custody. Mr. Harris said to the prisoner-- I believe you are the fellow who presented a note to Mr. Beech on Saturday, but the prisoner denied that he was. William Wiltshire, a city policeman, took the prisoner into custody on Monday the 17th October. The Lord Mayor on his being taken to the Mansion-House, committed him to Newgate, and while witness was conveying him there, th e prisoner expressed a desire to have a cab, which was got for him. The prisoner got in, but before the witness could follow him, he jumped out on the opposite side, and ran off as fast as he could. Witnessed pursued crying " stop thief," and ulti mately re-captured him. A witness proved that the prisoner's right name was Henry Carter. The check was then put in and read, which closed the case for the prosecution. The prisoner put in a written defence, in which he stated that the note had been given him by a person who stated his name was Harris, desiring him to take the check to E-sdaile's house and bring him the money to the Ram Inn, Smithfield. Pri soner got his living by selling sealing-wax and acting a s porter ; he carried the check to Esdaile's, not being aware there was anything wrong about it. Several witnesses gave the prisoner a good character. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. NEW COURT. Elizabeth Attfield, 17, and Mary Ann Mount, 37, were in dicted for stealing a piece of soap, value ld., a piece of pud ding, value Id., a piece of meat, value 2d., some sugar, value lid., and thirteen other trifling articles, all of very small value, the property of Wm. Nathaniel Wortley, of Newman street, Oxford-street, to whom the prisoner Attfield was servant. The prosecutor deposed that the prisoner Attfield had been three years in his service, and in consequence of suspicion she was watched, and observed to give away to the other prisoner the articles in question. On his cross-examination by Mr. PHILLIPS, the prosecutor stated that the prisoner Monck, who was in the habit of doing needlework for the family, was in great distress. He had as certained that the meat had been purchased by Attfield, and was her own property. Some witnesses to character having been examined, the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner Attfield was again indicted for stealing a pen cil case, the property of her master, Mr. Nathaniel Wortley. Not Guilty. _ _ _ Milian; Tucker, 18, was indicted for Stealing il. 75,, the property of William Symes, his master, Wm. Field deposed that the prosecutor, to whom he was shopman, was a tea and coffee dealer, carrying on business in Edgeware-road. The prisoner was in the habit of carrying out parcels and grinding coffee. On the 15th inst. witness left the shop to wash his hands, and on his return he saw through the glass door the prisoner put his band into a bowl in which there was a large quantity of silver. Witness caught hold of his hand, and after some difficulty opened it, and found silver to the amount of 11. 3s. The prisoner said it was his own money.—Guilty. William Henry Dutton, 16, was indicted for finillessling the sum of 4s. Bd., the property of 111a042 butcher, of Chelsea, The prisoner had received the money from a customer for meat, and after absenting himself for a day, returned with 3s. Bd. to his master, stating that be had spent a shilling. He had been always previously very honest.—Not Guilty. John Burhe, John Nolan, and Jeremiah Murphy, three children, apparently between the ages of 8 and 10, were charged with stealing 63 brushes, value lbs., from the shop of Thomas Sherlock, a brush-maker, of Ray-street, Clerkenwell ; and Johanna Murphy, mother of one of the prisoners, was in dicted for receiving the property, knowing it to be stolen. An intelligent little boy deposed, that on the evening of the 7th October he was standing opposite the prosec u t or 's shop, and saw the male prisoners take a quautlty of brushes, through a broken pane in the shop window. They all then went off, and returned in about an hour, when they took some more, A police officer took the boys into custody, and on searching the female prisoner's room, the brushes were found concealed under her bed.—Guilty. The prosecutor humanely recommended the boys to mercy. The Learned SIRGIANT, after remarking upon the enormity of the female prisoner's conduct, in bringing up and encou raging three children in such a systematic course of robbery and plunder, sentenced her to fourteen years' transportation, The boys should be taken care of until the pleasttre pf the Home Secretttry was asctyttl*4 a tCI ttiP V•teo ;110119,0 of dis posing p f 01PID.

Lecomte, the Director- General of the French Post-office, has arrived at Calais for the purpose of making a trial with one of the mail steam nackets, as to which of the two ports, Dover or Ramsgate, is the most advantageous for an expeditious communication between the two countries. Dover has disadvantages from its port being nearly choked up with mud, sand, and gravel after windy weather ; whilst Ramsgate, from the excellent construction of its pier, and the safe and commodious anchorage of its harbour, even during the most violent gales, offers every advantage over the narrow entrance of Dover, to the shipping, and particularly the Government mail packets. On Monday last the first experiment was made by two of the French Post-office mail-packets starting at the same time from outside Calais harbour with a fresh breeze ; the one for Ramsgate, on board of which was M. Lecomte and several naval officers, and the other for Dover, with their tricoloured flag flying. This novel sight conffregated an immense number of the French and English residents of the town upon the pier at Calais, anxious to witness this trial, on the result of which very heavy bets are pending. The result of the match was decidedly in favour of Ramsgate, the packet having gone there and back to Ca lais again, after waiting a short time, in the short space of less than six hours, whilst the Dover packet was nearly seven hours, although she bad the advance of the wind. Had the first put the full power of its engines to work, it is the opinion of the captain they might have done it in five hours and a half, without difficulty, as there is not. ❑ear so strong a swell and current to contend against as when making for Dover. It was expected that another trial would have been made yesterday, but the weather was not favourable. A report is to be made to the Minister of Marine on the subject. Another race, it is stated, will take place between the French and English packets, pre vious to M. Lecomte leaving for Paris or London, so as to make the necessary arrangements with Lord Lichfield and Colonel Maherly, the Secretary at the Post-office, for carrying this desideratum into effect. Six life-boats, on a new principle, have been ordered to be built 'by M. de Rhins, the shipbuilder here, by command of Government, each of which is to be 25 feet long by 5 feet wide ; two of them are for Boulogne, two for Dunkirk, and two for this port, which will be placed under the su perintendence of the port-captain. Should they be found to answer the expectations on trial, 35 or 40 more will be constructed at the different dockyards for all the principal seaports, so as to render every assistance to vessels in dis tress.—Letter front Calais.

London was visited last night with a heavy fall of snow, which lay o n the streets this morning several inches deep. Tilt' effect was extremely novel at this period of the year, :nil seems to justify the opinion that the recent visit a the Comet has bequeathed us a legacy of boisterous weather. About ten o'clock the snow re-commenced ; and while we write (afternoon) continues a perfect snow-storm from the North East. On Thursday the weather turned suddenly cold and wintry. , We regret to announ ce tne , of the Countess of Belvedere, which took place 7.. Few days since in Dublin. The Marquis of Weitesley has made great progress in writing the h: l .siory of his administration while Governor- General of inala, which cannot fail of being highly interesting, Smith, the lady who should have played the part of Artaxerxes at the St. James's Theatre, on Thursday, was prevented from appearing, in consequence of severe indisposition. Her sister, Miss Julia Smith, who had been announced for Sernira, undertook the character of Artaxerxes at only a few hours's notice. BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY.—Between the hours of six and seven o'clock yesterday morning the wife of Mr. John Rattenbury, licensed victualler, and landlord of the White Horse, Baldwiti's.gardens, Leather.lane, Holborn, was safely deliverod of' three fine children, two boys and a girl, who with the mother are going aft prosperously, and are likely to do well. Sir Henry Parnell, after landing at Ramsgate from the Continent, proceeded to Cobham Hall, near Gravesend, where the Countess of Darnley, eldest daughter of the Right Lion, Gentleman, resides with her infant family. Sir Henry arrived in Belgrave-square on Monday. INCENDIARY FIRES AT EALING.—About a quarter before six o'clock on Thursday evening, the neighbour hood of Ealing, Brentford, &c., were thrown into a state of great alarm by the discovery of a fire in the rick-yard of a farm belonging to the firm of air Felix Booth, Bart., Hazard and Co., the extousiyo distillers and brewers, situated in tircat Ealing. From inquiries made on the spot yesterday, we regret to say no doubts exist that the fire was the act of an incendiary, Messrs. Booth, who are insured in the Phweix Fire-Office, have offered a reward of 2001. for his apprehousloa, M. TALLEYRAND.—Letters just received from Valinlcay give more satisfactory information with respect to the health of M. de Talleyrand. It was in eousequence of an asthmatic attack, that we aTe jold it was judged prudent to send f'Pr physicians irom the capital, but the complaint yielded to the ceMedies which were immediately resorted to.

DUBLIN, OCT. 27.—GENERAL AssoctATloN.—There is a very numerous meeting now (this day) assembled at the Corn Exchange, Ebenezer Jacob, Esq., in the chair. Mr. Sheil and Mr. Sharman Crawford, M.P.s, wild were pre sent, were received with loud cheering. The Rent is pour ing in—from Croom and another parish in the county of Limerick, 721. has bxen received. A considerable number of new members were admitted. THE. LAST TITHE SLAUGHTER.—The inquests held on the bodies of Hogan (Ryan's assistant) and Fogarty (who was shot) did not conclude until eleven o'clock on Sunday night, when the Jury, in the case of the former, returned a verdict of wilful murder against some person or persons un known ; and, in that of the latter, they disagreed in their finding—eight being for returning a verdict of wilful murder against Ryan, and four for justifiable homicide. No charge was preferred against the police.—Pilot. The 411a11 of last night supplies the following from a correspondent : An inquest has been held on the bodies of Fogarty and Hogan, at Dunkerrin. The Jury consisted of eight Roman Catholics and four Protestants—the former for finding— ' That John Fogarty died by a pistol shot fired by Philip Ryan'—the latter—' Justifiable homicide.' The Coroner has sent the verdict to the Crown lawyers. The Rev. Mr. Nolan refused to be sworn, and the keeper of the turnpike gate was only allowed to answer questions tending to crimi nate Ryan ; he offered to tell the circumstances as they oc curred, but would not be permitted. Mr. O'Brien Dillon attended on the part of the people. Ryan was unable to attend for want of protection, and could not procure pro fessional assistance, as all the attorneys were absent at the sessions of Thurles. In Hogan, the process server's case, the Jury found a ver dict of Wilful murder against persons unknown'—although Mr. Westropp Smith told Ryan, when at his gate, that seve ral of the mob were his labourers, and persons whom he had drawing turf. The police also knew many of the party, as they frequently called out to the ringleaders by their names. At the inquest, however, they knew none of them. ALDERMAN SMYTH.—The sittings of the Court of In quiry into the conduct of Alderman Smyth, in connexion with the election, will not terminate without the examina tion of Colonel Morris. This announcement was made in the course of the proceedings on Tuesday. NATIONAL TRADES' POLITICAL UNION.—The weekly meeting of this body was held on Tuesday night at the Corn Exchange Rooms. COUNTY DUBLIN REGISTRATION.—BaIIymore Eustace, October 24.—Registered on this day : Liberals ,Conservatives The Court adjourned to Swords, to open th.e registration there on Thursday, at ten o'clock. Tho Registration for this county closed yesterday. We lament to perceive that there are men, men of property too, so lukewarm in their patriotism as to hang back merely because, by coming forward and doing their duty, they would at the same time have to pay a trifling tax. If men of wealth and station continue thus disgracefully apathetic to their country's in terest, they must be considered. wholly inexcusable, and will call forth as well as deserve the heavy censure and deep denunciation of their fellow-countrymen. EDMOND ROCHE, ESQ.—This candidate for the represen tation of Cork is spoken of by all the Liberal journalists in terms of high praise and satisfaction. TITHES.—We are credibly informed that a tithe auction is about to take place in a few days at the suit of the Pres tonian executors of the late and last Bishop at Bore' Hill, the property of that unflinching and sterling patriot, Col. Fitzhenry, who is determined to let the law take its course. —lVezford Independent. THE CORK CALUMNY.—The following correspondence appears in the Dublin Evening Port. Our Contemporary fell into the very natural error of supposing that Mr. H. Kyle, the Bishop's snn, was a Reverend gentleman : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING POST. " Sir,--In reply to a letter which appeared in the Dublin Evening Post of Saturday last, October 22, I beg leave to give the most distinct and implicit denial in my power to the assumption on the part of the Hon. Edward Phipps, that I either said, or professed to say, that the statement which I made in Cork, on Tuesday, October 4th, was the result of any conversation held by him, with me, at r." time or place, or with any person whatsoever, in my house. " I gave the statement as a current report "nich I had heard, and such was the version of my staterr.ent in all the papers which I have seen. I have not seen 'th e Spectator— I did not profess to say whether Mr. Pb 3 .pps had authority for his assertion or not. " Upon no occasion whatever clidMr.Phipps, to my know ledge, discuss politics with, any person in my father's house —nor did Mr. Phipps even seem to touch upon politics with me at any time or place. " Under these circumstances I consider that the grievotts and odious charge of " retailing in public the private con versation of the dinner table, or morning visit," at in, father's house, utterly falls to the ground. " It is unnecessary to avert to the remarks with which you have introduced Mr. Phipps' letter, further than to say that I am a metutrer of the English Bar, and am now only on a visit with ray relatives in Cork." " I remain, Sir, " Your obedient servant. " H. S. KYLE." " Cork, Oct. 24, 1836. TO THE EDITOR OF THE D. E. POST. " Sir,—l have just seen in the Spectator an allusion to the report ofa Cork Conservative meeting, in which Mr. Kyle, son of the Bishop of Cork, is represented to have stated, on my authority, " that the Lord Lieutenant had avow ,d an intention of starving the Irish Clergy into acceptir o r an allowance of three hundred pounds a year, which consi dered the maximum of income a ProtestP:nt clergyman should enjoy." Now, though this paroc ; ra•ph is so absurd as to carry its own refutation with it„ yet, as it has been commented on in some of the Pa' e ers, I should be obliged to you if you would insert the b 2ollowing denial that there is any foundation for it as i‘e a as I am concerned. In the first place, the Lord UrAtenant never avowed to me any intention or opition of the kind ; and, in the second place, I never comillunicated to Mr. Kyle, or to any other gen tleman, the intention or opinions of the Lord Lieutenant on that or any other public question. This I can affirm the more confidently, as it is in accordance with the rule which I have laid down to myself, and on which I have invariably acted. I certainly did meet Mr. Kyle once at his father's house at dinner, and two or three times in the morning ; and it is possible, though I do not recollect it, that I may have expressed my own opinions on the subject, which, however, are very different from those represented. I cannot believe that Mr. Kyle has been correctly re ported ; for if so, without meaning to impute to him that he has wilfully mis-stated, I must say that he has Very in acurately recollected any thing that fell from me. At all events, I hope he will now see tile inexpediency as well as the impropriety of professing to retail in public the private conversation of the dinner table or the morning visit. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "21st Oct., 1836. " EDMOND PHIITS." THE FABRICATED MURDERS.—An Orange paper, re cently established in Liverpool, called the Mail., and edited, as the Liverpool Times informs us, by " Mr. Robert Alex ander, late of the Liverpool Standard—a 'man convicted of slander, under circumstances of pee'.. il i ar i n f amy "— pub lishes, as an or i g i na l commun i cat j . on, the atrocious fabrica tion of the murder of a meti er and child in Thurles, be cause they were Protes`Lants. The lie originally appear e d in the the Constitution ; but it seems (says the Liverpool Times) that Mr. Alexander " is not satisfied with the honour of copying this detestable falsehood from the receptacle of slander where it first appeared, but is de sirous of passing himself off as the author of it, or at least of having it quoted on the authority of the Liverpool Mail." Columns might be written, depicting the baseness of the faction ; but nothing could more forcibly illustrate their shameless disregard of truth than the simple fact here stated. And this Liverpool 'Hail has been set up for the pretended p ur p ose o f d e fe n di ng t h e rea di ng of the , Bible .

WEXFORD ORANGEMEN. ENNICORTIIY Q UARTER SESSIONS.—On Saturday, the 22d instant, nine of the Orange party were, by a jury . composed of Protestants and Catholics, found guilty of a riot on the 12th J u l y l ast, i n Gorey. Constables Clarke and Weir were examined, and repeated the testimony given by them on a former occasion. Other witnesses c orroborated the te st i mony of the police, as to the firing, the prisoners being armed, shots being fired, &c. One witness added--that o ne o f t h e pr i soners came hi g s gun near witness's ear, from the crowd, and discharoil and MPI4 - led of su c h con d uc t, th e person who fired th would blow out th e b ra i ns o f t h e at when swore h e t ht c a o t he Papist dog% and eauemeneed reloading his gun, when wit noßs walked away, MONImy, *ill —On this day five of the Camolin Orangemen were tried for riotous conduct on the 12th of last July. The Jury remained in consultation for some time, but it appeared that they h a d no c h an ce o f agree ing, and the Barrister, being prepared to go to Ross, are ' ll sebarged the Jury, and admitted the prisoners to bail. This day the Bench passed sentence on the Gorey rioters. One to be imprisoned a month, six a fortnight, one to be forthwith discharged, and one young lad to be discharged on payment of half a crown. The Ma- gistrates on the Bench were the Rev. Si Lain Cary, Captain Graves, Captain Nunn, anCNE7gil Esq. ; all of whom agreed to the sentence, except CMaJ Nunn. Our Contemporary adds the following, which proves the necessity of efficient measures for the suppression of the se ditious fraternity in this quarter. Here is a no th er proo f that the Orange system is still in full vigour in many parts of Ireland :—Late on Saturday night, as Captain Beatty, of Borodale, was riding through Enniscorthy, he met three persons, who were singing " The Boyne Wa ter." He called on them not to sing party songs, as it would lead to a breach of the law. They grumbled, and, as he had passed by them, one of them said, " To the Devil with yo u an d th e l aw ." Captain Beatty wheeled round his horse suddenly, took the fellow by the collar, and lodged him in the brideivi:ll, where he still remains. Captain Beatty is a Magistrate. If Lord Courtown and his clique, instead of bearding the King's Government, would follow the example of Captain Beatty, the county of Wexford would soon be relieved from the baneful influence of party, and the periodical outrages of a faction. Since the above was written the following bus been placed in our hands.
