RURAL POLICE IN ESSEX. —On Monday, at a meeting of the Magistracy of the county in the Shire Hall, convened for the purpose of taking into conside ration the propriety of establishing a rural police, under th e provisions of the District Constable Act, Lord Braybrooke moved a resolution, declaratory of the ex. pediency of introducing the new force ; and Mr. G. Palmer, M.P., moved an amendment, in opposition to the establishment of such force. At ter considerable discussion the Court divided, when there appeared for the amend ment, '23 ; for Lord Braybrooke's motion, 40 ; inak) - rity in favour of th e measure, 17. Sir J. T. Tyrrell, M.P., T. W. Branston, Esq., M.P , and both the Messrs. Round, M.P.'s, spoke in . favour cf the original motion. Lord Rayleigh rather hinted his dislike, than declared his opposition to the measure. t CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Lcrd Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day. WATSON V. 13 AYtS.-JUDGMENT. The Lone C)tANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was heard some time since before his Lordship, upon appeal from the deci sion of his Honour the Vice-Chancellor. The short facts of the case out of which the question arises may be stated as follow :—The testator in the cause directed his real estates to be sold, and out of the proceeds his widow was to have 4001. a year ; his natural daughter was to have a legacy of 5001., and 5001. was directed by the testator's will to be expended in other legacies, and the residue was to be divided equally among his five legitimate chil dren. Some time after the testator's death the widow died, as well as the testator's natural daughter ; and in this state of circumstances the first question in the cause was, whether the amount set apart to produce the 4001. a year to the widow was to be considered as belonging to the residuary property, and therefore go to his children under the will, or whether it must be considered as part of his real estate, and belonged to the heir-at-law ? The other question was, whether the legacy to the testator's natural daughter must be considered as having lapsed in consequence of her death ? His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, on the case coming before him, considered that the fund which had been set apart to produce the 4001. a year for the widow belonged to the heir at law, and decreed accordingly. As to the legacy to the natural daughter, his Honour was of opinion that it had not lapsed by her death. His Lordship this morning, after shortly going over the facts of the case, stated his opi nion to be that the Vice Chancellor's judgment was correct as far as it declared the property producing the 4001. a year went to the heir at law. With respect, however, to the legacy to the natural daughter his Lordship felt bound, after lockitig at the cases of Han son and Graham, and Meek and Robinson, decided by Sir Wm. Grant, and Bawdrey and Hill, decided by Sir John Leach, to declare that The legacy had lapsed, the judgment therefore of the Vice Chancellor would have to be altered in that respect. Ai to whom the legacy weuld go his Lordship did not feel himself called upon to decide in the present state of the record. His Lord ship ordered the costs of the appeal to be costs in the cause. DEARMAN V. WYCHE.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR also gave judgment in this case, which was heard yesterday on a point of strict practice. The question in the case was, whether an enrolment of a decree was good, though after the pre sentation of a petition of appeal, the party enrolling the dtcree, not receiving notice of the appeal until after the enrolment. In the present case the enrolment of the decree was made on the 15th of August last, the peti tion of appeal was presented and answered on the Bth, and the appeal was set down on the 11th, but there was no service of the order till the 17th ; under these circumstances the question was, whether the enrolment was bad and ought to be vacated. His Lordship was clearly of opinion, upon principle and authority, that the enrolment was good at the time it took place, and ordered it to be retained accordingly. PRATT V. SWAIN. The further arguments in this case, which came be fore the Court upon exceptions, occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DA .) The MASTER OF THE ROLLS sat this morning, at his Court in Chancery-lane. Twenty-eight town, and seventy-two country solici tors, were sworn in before his Lordship and Messrs. Lynch and Duckworth, Masters in Chancery. , . Consent petitions. and short causes, occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Vice-Chancellor sat in his Court in Linclon's nn to-clay. WARBURTON V. THE BLACKWALL AND COMMERCIAL RAILWAY. The arguments in this motion, which were com menced yesterday, were resumed and concluded to-day. It will be recollected that the application is on behalf of the Blackwall Railway Company, to dissolve an in junction restraining them from proceeding with the works at their terminus, near the Minories. The injuc tion was granted ex parte in the affidavit of the plaintiff, which stated that the excavations which were in pro gress by the defendents, would prove destructive to the house of the plaintiff. His HONOUR, at the conclusion of the arguments, said he must take time to consider what he should do with the injunction. He might however say this, that if the weather should continue wet or turn to frost, that the mischief which was dreaded might be accomplished, his Honour therefore thought the Company should be allowed to proceed sn far with their works as to pre vent that mischief taking place. QUELN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) and his Lordship thought it as much like a Y with a peculiar turn at the top.—(Roars of laughter.) Mr. Adolphus, who was for the plaintiff, thought it an E with a flourish across. His Lordship was not satisfied that it was an E. nor could he say distinctly that it was aG. A Judge's order was at length put in, in which the signature was admitted, and the Jury then found for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAT.) This was an action for work and labour, brought by plaintiff to recover compensation for services he alleged himself to have performed for defendant in the book binding business, both personally, and with a horse and cart. HAYWARD V. EVANS. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, with Mr. WORDSWORTH, were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS, and Mr. HENDERSON for defendant. _ _ _ The business had originally been carried on by Mr. Hancock, who had projected the invention for binding books with India rubber backs. He failing, Mr. Evans continued it ; and the evidence for plaintiff went to show that Mr. Hayward had been engaged to su perintend the management of the concern ; that he had also employed in the business a horse and cart ; and that for his services 200/. a year would be a fair re muneration, and for the horse and cart 30s. a week. For the defendant, his brother stated that there had been a distinct engagement between the parties ; that Hayward should have forty shillings a week— to be increased if the concern prospered ; that though the business had somewhat altered, it had been stated at an interview (at which only the parties and the witness were said to be present) that the salary was to be still 40s. a week, and that though it was admitted, defendant knew of the employment of the horse and cart, and though " something," it ap peared, " was said about paying for it," this was never agreed upon. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, in reply, made an able ad dress, remarking that defendant was fortunate in having for a witness his brother, an attorney, and arguing on the manifest improbability of the plaintiff's consenting to give his own skill and labour in a large business, and a horse and cart, worth 30s. a week of itself, for 2/. a week. _ _ (Sittings in Banco.) • - CRIMINAL INFORMATION.'—TIFIR'ntiVERN if. THE' , PRO PRIETORS OF" THE WELSHMAN"NEWSPAPER: In this case a rule had been obtained Calling upon the defendants to show cause why a criminal information Mr. Sergeant ANDREWS said 451. bad been paid, which, assuming the 21. a week agreement to be co:- reedy stated, allowed 191. for the horse and cart hire. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD urged that this was only an attempt to bolster a bad case, the defendant having first tried to get rid of the horse and cart altogether, now endeavoured to prove a payment. The fact evi dently was that the 451. had been paid on account, while the amount to be regularly paid was not settled. The claim was for thirteen weeks. The LEARNED JUDGE told the Jury that if they be lieved there was the strict agreement at the time for 21. a week only, they must find for the defendant, which they accordingly did. ------ - CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Samuel Jacobs was indicted for stealing one chain and :wo seals, the property of Robert Sutton, from his person. It appeared that on Lord Mayor's-day the prosecutor was passing down Cheapside, when he was attacked and hustled by several persons, amongst whom was the pri soner, and the property in question stolen from his per son. The policeman who was on duty at the time took the prisoner into custody, when he was attacked and assaulted in a most violent manner, by a mob of the prisoner's associates, who endeavoured to rescue him. He, however, succeeded in taking the prisoner to the station-house. The Jury found the prisoner guilty. On the application of Mr. PAYNE, who appeared for the prisoner, judgment was postponed, to give time for the production of witnesses to character. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) John Thompson was indicted for stealing a pair of reins value 55., the property of Charles Price. The prosecutor, who lives in William-street, Black friars, found the prisoner on his premises, and, on being questioned, ran away ; he was followed, and the reins in question found in his possession. The prisoner, who pleaded drunkenness as an excuse, was found Guil ty. The Recorder was occupied in the Old Court during the remainder of the morning, in investigating a charge of indecent assault, the details of which are unfit for publication. The New Court after the trial of one cause, adjourned to half-past three o'clock. should not be filed against them for an, alleged libel pub lished in the Welshman newspaper upon the Rev. Ebe- nezer Morris. Mr. J. EVANS now appeared to show cause against the rule, and observed that the defendants, John Brig stocke and two others, in their affidavits stated that although the/ were proprietors of the paper in question, they had no control over the articles published therein, which were inserted by the Editor without their know ledge and consent. The imputation of motives to the defendant they were now most anxious to withdraw, as they believed them to be unfounded, and they stated further that they greatly regretted their insertion. Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT said the Rev. Mr. Morris was not aware when the rule was moved for, that the defendants were ignorant of the insertion of these articles, but as they had sworn to the fact in their affidavits, he must believe it. He was now willing on the part of Mr. Morris, to accept the apology which had been made by ' the defendants, in which they stated that they expressed their unfeigned regret at the insertion of the offensive articles of the 30th November, and the 7th and 14th December, reflecting upon the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Morris, in the cases of John James and David Jones, churchwardens of the parish ; that they were satisfied the motives imputed to the Rev. Gentleman were with out foundation ; and it only remained for them to express their extreme regret that the offensive articles, which they believed to be incorrect and uncalled for, should have appeared in their paper. He (Sir William Follett) was satisfied with that apology, and would consent to the rule being discharged on the payment of costs. The rule was consequently discharged. THE QUEEN V. THE TRUSTEES OF THE DONCASTER TilE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, INTOVEMBER 26, __1839. LITERATURto TORY, FOR 1840. THE POST OFFICE LONDON DEREC- The fifty-fifth annual edition of this useful publication has just appeared, and we welcome it I with great satisfaction. It has got out of the routine system which prevailed so long under the Freeling management of the Post-office. Railroads and steam-boats, and the Whigs, or rather the sup porters of the Whigs, have done wonders. There is first of all in the work an Almanack which a few years ago would have cost alone 2s. 6d., and that now costs the publisher for paper, composing, &c. not more than id., and the purchaser nothing. There are the Acts and Treasury , Minutes relative to the Penny-postage, the depar ture of steam-boats and steam-carriages, the postage of letters according to the new regulations, to all parts of France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, &c., the railroads of France, with the length of line completed, and all the lines that branch from the metropolis, with the time of departure from London and the different stations ; and as a proof that the work itself has caught a little of the spirit of the age, and goes on at railway speed, we may mention that 10,000 copies of about 900 pages each, and containing most complicated matter, were thrown off within thirty days from the receipt of the manuscript. But we cannot enumerate even the contents of the work, which contains such a variety of matter, and which is adapted to all trades and professions. As far as we have had time to exa mine it, the details seem to be correctly given, and up to a late date. The compiler certa►nly has ad vantages which no other person could well obtain. Independent of the patronage of the Postmaster- General, two hundred and fifty persons possessing local knowledge have been employed during the month of September in collectinc , information, and consequently he must have much later information than those who could afford to employ only a smaller number of hands. In the town Directory (alphabetical list), however, there appears to be some peculiar arrangement or defect, which requires explanation. We have looked in vain for some names in most respectable streets, both in the west and north of the metropolis, such as Oxford -terrace, Edgeware-road, and Claremont-row, Islington. 'We cannot well conceive how these should have been omitted in so comprehensive a work. THE WEATHER AL Al ANA C for the YEAR 1540. By P. Mu RPH r, ESQ. This indefatigable weather prophet has pub lished a second . cdition of his Almanac, and, true to his original purpose, he pledges himself to esta blish in a manner the most conclusive the disco very of principles for calculating the nature of the approaching seasons and changes of the weather through any number of years, with this very proper reservation, that he requires the aid of time and father observation to perfect them. The Almanac this year is certainly much improved when corn ' pared with its first appearance. In addition to the phases of the moon, the rising and setting of the sun and moon, it contains a tide-table, the right ascension of forty remarkable fixed stars, a table of the sun's right ascension at apparent noon, and the moon's longitude and latitude for every day in the year, and the eclipses of the satellites of Jupiter. It is neatly printed, and sells at the original price, which, notwithstanding its improved appearance, we think Mr. Murphy will find too high. In ad dition to the useful tables mentioned, there is a lengthened dissertation on meteorology, containing some interesting information, and written in a style more suited to ordinary capacities than Mr. Mur phy's first essay on that subject. AND SELBY ROADS In this case a rule had been obtained, calling upon the defendants to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue, directed to them, and commanding them to pay into the Bank of England, pursuant to the provisions of the Act 3 Geo. 4, the sum of 3551., with interest at the rate of 4 per cent., or so much of the above sum as they had in hand, as compensation for certain land taken and used by them in making a turn pike road. Mr. CRESWF.LI. now appeared to show cause against the rule, and observed that he regretted the Rev. Gentle man, at whose instance the rule had been granted, had put himself and the trustees to so much unnecessary expense. The trustees had not Is. to pay, and he regretted to say, that the road was in the same condition as many others in that country, in consequence of the traffic having been taken off the road by the Railways. There was a debt of 30,0001., and they had not the slightest pros pect of being able to pay a farthing. It appeared that a portion of the glebe lands of the Rev. Gentleman who was incumbent of the parish before Mr. Green had been taken far the purposes of the road, and it was sup posed that the Rector, like the landowners, all of whom were equally interested in the formation of the road, would not have applied for compensation. The applica tion was, however, made, and the trustees feeling that he was entitled to it, at once submitted to arbitration. The incumbent died, and the Rev. Mr. Green who suc reetied hi m , applied to the trustees, and it was agreed between them, that the money should not be demanded provided they paid interest, and what strongly corrobo rated that fact was, that two days afterwards,Mr.G reen's attorney a pplied for, and received six years interest at 4 per cent. Now the who le debt on t he road was 30,000 /. and of that sum 14,0001. was due to the Treasurer for Exchequer Bills, for a loan under the Exchequer Act. The Act of Parliament under which the loan was granted, provided that the Government for any loan of Exchequer Bills should have p riorit y over all other cre di tors . The debt to the Government being unliquidated h e apprehended the rule could not be made as they had no money in hand to to abs o l u t e , inasmuch pay over . Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK said if an agreement was now mr e . nt e c a re E d m i bv n ry t o to pay the interest regularly, he would not press for the rule, thrown away Lttospairidefsetnwtoapypelaicras'Z.er.est bad been Lord DENMAN. a 3 b 'O s ll olu i t n e s:_st refuse to make the rule absolute.—Rule absolute.

His LORDSHIP this m •disposed and undefended causes, none of of several short which p osse ssed any feature of public interest. In o ne o f them, an action on a bill of exchange, considerable merriment was excited by the difficulty of ascertaining the initial letter of one of the signatures, which was set out in the declaration as E. The Learned Gentleman, who appeared for the defence, submitted to his Lordship that it was more like a G, but his Lordship said he never saw a G with such a curve. The Learned Gentleman then submitted that it might be a G with a peculiar turn at the top ; BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A respectable-looking young woman, named Char lotte Bache, attired in deep mourning, and described as a milliner, was placed at the bar by Sergeant Po cock, charged with stealing a number of books, a quantity of silk, lace, and other articles, from Mrs._ Wood, her late employer, who resides at ,Worcester. It appeared that the prisoner had been in the ser vice of the promocutrix for eight months; alicr:aischiioresl. the confidence reposed in her, •thut she bad thocou,titep management of her mistress's establishment. On in formation being given that she had come, up tu ton don Mrs. Wood immediately started foi town, and with the assistance of the constable she was discovered lodging in Duke-street, 13loorusbury, with the entire of the property, which she admitted she had stolen from her mistress, who carries on the business of dressmaker and milliner at Worcester. Mr. HALL, upon the prisoner declining to make any defence, ordered her to be removed to Worcester, to be examined by the proper authorities of that town. Mrs. Wood said she would take charge of her, and engage to convey her safe to the country, which would spare the time and expense of sending her down by a constable. Mr. HALL bad no objection, and the prisoner was removed. CORONER'S INQUEST. (THIS DAY.) CHARGE OF MultoEß.—This morning at ten o'clock a lengthened inquiry was instituted before Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a respectable Jury, at the George, Brook street, Holborn, into the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Edward Mackenzie Meredith, aged 55, formerly a linen draper, in Middle-row, Holborn. It appeared that on the 27th of July last, two men named Beckwith and Roper, called at the house in the possession of the deceased, No. 12, Bell-court, Gray's inn-lane, for the purpose of ejecting him, and taking possession of the premises, the goods, on account of the rent due for which, had been seized the previous quarter. The broker's men entered, when seeing the deceased they laid hold of him, and with much violence forced him out, in doing which the deceased received several severe bruises. Tho men were the same evening apprehended by Archer, G 150, and were subsequently taken before the Magistrates at Hatton-garden, when they were held to bail to answer the charge at the ensuing Sessions. They were tried at the Central Criminal Court dor' lig the September Assizes, and being convicted, they were sentenced to four months' imprisonment at the House of Correction. This day the widow was examined, and expressed her conviction that her husband died of the injuries he re ceived on that occasion. The CORONER, upon this evidence, said that he should adjourn the inquiry, to give an opportunity to the friends of the accused to attend. The charge was very serious, and the investigation would occupy some time. It was therefore better to adjourn, and in the meanwhile he would order a post-mortem examination of the body. The inquiry was adjourned till December 4. LONDON THIEVES OUT OF TOWN.—The vigilance of the metropolitan police appears to have had the effect of driving into the provinces many of the most accomplished London sharpers, not a few of whom, there is reason to believe, are residing at present in this town. We are told that more than a dozen well-known characters of this kind were recognised one evening in High-street ; and there have been within the last few days some instances of the picking of locks and of pockets which indicate a degree of expertness which scarcely belongs to our most accomplished Sheffield thieves.—Sheffield Mercury. The new police force established in this borough under the superintendence of Mr. Burgess, the Com missioner, was brought into full operation on Wednes day last ; and on Friday the members of the metropo litan establishment who had been stationed here since the recent disturbances, under the command of Inspec tor Wray, returned to London by the railway train. The active and judicious manner in which the latter discharged their duties during their stay in the town, has afforded very general satisfaction.—Aric'S Birming ham Gazette. _ _ ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE.—On Wed nesday night a private of the 75th Regiment, who was on duty in the dock-yard, attempted the life of a corpo ral belonging to the same corps. It appears that the latter had in the evening admonished the soldier for some breach of duty, which the soldier resented, and told his comrades in the guard-room that he would shoot the corporal. No notice was taken of the threat, but at eleven o'clock, when the guard was about to be changed, the soldier watched the opportunity of the Icorporal's advancing, and fired at him, but finding the ball had not taken effect, he charged with the bayonet, but was prevented doing injury by the prompt interpo sition of the guard. He was immediately placed in confinement.—Devo!iport Telegraph.

This is another production a la Murphy, but without Murphy's precision, and drawn up with a degree of caution and ambiguity which leave the author a loophole for every prediction. It describes November, 1840, for instance, thus :—" A most dreary month ; very little light ; great moisture in the air ; full moon. Weather for the week—fair and frosty, if wind to the N. or N.E. ; cold rain, or sleet and snow, if wind S.S.W. or S.E." It did not require a disciple of Murphy to tell us this. The Almanac con tains a table of the winds in London for twelve months ending September,. 1839, from which it appears that south, south-west, and west winds prevailed for 187 days, or more than half the year, and that the bitter north, and the still more bitter east, had only 48 days between them—namely, east 26 days, and north 22. The price is mode rate, and to the Weather Table some of the usual information contained in almanacs is added. " THE CHARTISTS ARE COMING."-Several imes has this ominous cry passed from mouth to mouth in this city, since the Chartist insurrection at Newport. Last week several persons called at our office to inquire if we had had any authenticated account of the cur rent report that the Chartists intended to assemble on the hills on Sunday, and visit Hereford on the Monday. Monday came and passed away, but no Chartists ap peared. On Wednesday we again heard the report " the Chartists are coming"—but now their approach was to be from Birmingham, where it is said they had risen, destroyed much property, and had commenced their march to join their confederates in South Wales, Hereford having been reported to have the honour o being their place of common rendezvous. But this report had an accompaniment which made it disbelieved by all except the most credulous, a portion of the community not contemptible in point of number either in Hereford or elsewhere ; this accompaniment was that the Mayor of Birmingham had ,joined the rebels! This report had scarcely shared the fate of his prede cessors, by being buried in oblivion, when another, phoenix-like, rose from its ashes. On Thursday even ing, news arrived fresh from Abergavenny, stating, on " the best authority," which is often no authority at all, that the Chartists on the hills had held meetings, and being determined to take some town by storm, had fixed upon Hereford, that being the largest of the towns unprotected by soldiers. This report is now dying away.—Hereford Times. ANOTHER ALLEGED IMPORTANT DISCO vERY.—The following is a description of a new inven tion, applicable to locomotive engines, which is censi dered by a number of scientific men (as railway travel ling is proceeding so rapidly) well calculated to supply a desideratum, and which is likely to prove a great na tional benefit, by reducing the expense and increasing the safety of internal intercourse. The advantages of it are—First, the condensing the steam after it escapes from the cylinders, and the water produced thereby re turned to the boiler to be wrought over again and again ; by which means the boiler is rendered more durable, being kept perfectly free of incrustation or deposit of any kind ; and no stoppage is required to take in water ; of course freeing the engine of the burden of carrying a supply along with it. Second, The air that supports the combustion of the fuel is considerably heated previous to entering the ash pit ; by which the smoke is completely consumed, al though fresh coal be used in the furnace. Consequently, a great saving in the consumption of fuel is effected. It is pleasant to add, that an experiment has been made with the apparatus, which is exceedingly simple, and found to answer all the purposes intended, and for which a patent is in progress. The inventors are William and Andrew Symington, whose ingenious talents are likely to be of as great benefit to their country as those of their father, the late William Symington, celebrated as the author and introducer of practical steam naviga tion.—Correspondent of the Edinburgh Chronicle. Kerse House milk pony died about a fortnight ago, of extreme old age. Donald, for such was his name, supplied the inhabitants of Grangemouth for the last twenty years daily with milk and butter, and was a great favourite with the little urchins, and latterly, the matrons were often seen feeding him with a flour scone. As his "grinders were few " for a number of years past he was called the " horse of knowledge." Quite unlike a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke, Do nald every morning came, of his own accord, to resume his day's labour—seemed quite happy when calling at his numerous customers, and after his day's work, wouldnot retire for rest to the stable, but , like a true High lander, slept in the open air. Had he bee n trained by Sir Andrew Agnew, he could not hare observed the Sabbath better. Donald seemed to know that it was a day of rest, and never came to the yoke on that hallowed morn ; but when a fast-day occurred, he seemed quite puzzled why the customers were not to be serv e d on that day, and he, with grief , dropped his head like a bulrush. Her nainsell also liked to be well shod, and when his brogs were either loose or lost, Donald went fr.., Charles Mitchell, the Earl's smith, distant about a quarter of a mile, and although at first Charles could not comprehend his pantomine, yet latterly his custo mer was always readily served. A newspaper m ight be filled with anecdotes of him that would be pleasing to a naturalist. —Scots Times.

Chapman, Bart., M.P., has left London for his seat in the county Westmeath. PRINCE ALBERT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. MR. EDITOR,—In your Paper of yesterday afternoon is a long article, in which is announced the approaching marriage of our youthful Queen. nearly three hundred y ears s i nce a reigning The novelty of su c h an even t (for it is now Queen of England selected a h us b an d f or h e rself ), has given rise to various q ues ti ons . S ome have asked if the Queen can disp ose o f h er person in marriage according to her own will an d pl eas ure. Others have inquired whether her h us b an d m ust abjure his own religion, and adopt that which the English Parliaments have established. Others, again, have impugned the suitableness of the marriage service to the occasion, inasmuch as the Queen will have to promise obedience to one who must obey her in the character of subject. The above, Sir, are curious questions. There is, however, one other question which I should like to put, in order that some of the Church of Englandists may be induced to take it into their most religious consideration, and favour your readers with their sentiments upon it. Indeed, it is a question of so grave a nature, as to be deserving of the particular attention of the entire Episcopal Bench ; and, if not to be deter mined by the Bishops in Committee, worthy of being submitted to the whole body of the Convo cation. This question is—Ought the Sovereign of these realms to be allowed to marry a person who belongs not to any Christian Church ? Such, how ever, is the orthodox doctrine of our Bishops, and of the religious establish m e n t to w hich they be long. Prince Albert's sect or re li g i on is devoid of Episcopacy, therefore, devoid o f w hat is termed " Apostolical Succession," and, consequently, not a Church. Should there be any absurdity in what is here noticed, the blame must rest, not upon me, who has pointed it out, but upon the wiseacres who set up that absurd and untenable doc trine ; according to which, our youthful Queen will bestow her hand upon an infidel, unless he shall first abjure the errors of Lutheranism, and receive baptism from an Episcopal minis ter. Surely, Mr. Editor, you will admit that this is a most important subject ; for when our an cestors established the Protestant succession, in order to oust the Church of Rome, they never imagined the possibility of the head of the Church of England espousing a person belonging to no Christian Church at all ; otherwise, we may pre sume that a provision against it would have been introduced into the same statute which prohibits the Sovereign's marriage with a Papist. I beg, therefore, to submit to the consideration of her _Majesty's advisers the absolute necessity of having his matter examined thoroughly before the solem nization of the intended nuptials ; for it is one which concerns most closely both our national reli gion and the religious feelings likewise of every sincere member of the Church of England. I beg leave to subscribe myself, Mr. Editor, Your most obedient Servant, ONE OF THE MULTITUDE. London, Nov. 24, 1839. [We apprehend that the Prince will conform to the English Church, which will at once insure him all those privileges which, according to our correspondent, do not belong to a Lutheran.—En. Sust.] THE RECEPTION OF THE PRIVY COUNCILLORS. Sir Alexander Grant has written a letter to the Times, as " the most efficacious way of contradicting the calumny of the Government press," relative to the conspicuous part which he took in identifying, the Members of the Council, and conveying infor mation on that point to the assembled multitude ; and really he does not at all mend the matter. The Sun stated that he "signalled the populace as to what parties they should cheer or groan." Sir Alexander admitted he was there with the Marquis of Downshire, anxious to identify the carriages as they came up, and when asked by a bystander the name of any member of the Council he did not hesitate to give it. Of course not. It would have been very rude for one who knew them all so readily to re fuse, but there are many ways of doing a thing, and the tone in which a name is pronounced may be as good a signal from a gentleman as a groan or a cheer. Of course the late Chairman of Com mittees did not bawl out like a coalheaver. A toastmaster has no occasion to cheer ; he has only to give the word, anti this Sir Alexander 'did; •' By the .way, would the denial not have vbeen moue' 'convincing if the other parties had ibined ,him in contradicting the " calumny." The, monk and the nun contrived to pronounce a very' bad word by what political economists call a divi sidi of tabour, and might not the five have taken it a : paltiy way of evincing hostility," and Sir Alexander be still perfectly correct in his explana tion ? This is a new mode of annoying the Queen and her Ministers, invented by the Conservatives, or rather, we believe, by a Tory Whig, Sir James Graham, and we regret to see respectable, consistent Tories, in the company, too, of a converted Whig Peer, follewing so bad an example. GERMAN PAPERS. HANOVER, Nov. 15.—1 t is now generally believed to be certain, that the prorogued Assembly of the Estates will not be dissolved. This is inferred from the nego tiations which are going on to induce the University to elect a deputy, and from the circumstance that a petition to his Majesty to dissolve the Assembly was seized in Osneburg before it could reach Hanover, and orders have been given to the civil officers to do their utmost to prevent such petitions ; and yet the right of petition is said to he expressly secured in the new draft of the Constitution. HAMBURG, Nov. 20.—Letters from Vienna, of the llth, say that Michael, Prince of Servia, is again taken ill, and not able to go to Constantinople. A Servian deputation is at Rustehuek, waiting to accompany him to the Turkish capital. Our Papers relate a new proof of the munificent charity of Mr. Solomon Heine, of this city. The Elders of the Jewish community had asembled to deliberate on the means of erecting a new Jewish hospital, the expense of which was estmated at 80,000 marks Banco (6,0001. sterling). Mr. Heine put a speedy end to this debate by declaring that he would himself give the whole sum. Accounts from Wirtemburg say, " The extremely favourable effects of the excellent administration of our finances become more and more evident. There is now a surplus of five millions and a half. The public debt has been reduced from 25,700,785 florins to 21,351,202 florins. B E RLIN, Nov. 19.—We are extremely happy to be able to announce that on the day before yesterday, for the first time after a very long interval, an auto graph letter of her Majesty the Empress of Russia was received by a Princess who is particularly esteemed by the Imperial family. The Empress announces her own convalescence, and the recovery both of the Grand Duke Alexander, and of Princess Olga. Sr. PETEasatincll, Nov. 12.—We hear that the campaign of the army under General Grabbe to subdue the mountaineers of the Caucasus, is terminated on ac count of the approach of winter. The several corps of the army of the Caucasus are gone into winter quar ters. The campaign of this year has been attended with the important result that the rebel hordes along Kuban and in Northern Daghestan have been forced back to a considerable distance, and (being now re duced to their inaccessible mountain fortresses) are everywhere shut in by our troops. The cold has been severe for some days, but without snow. The Neva is covered with ice, which is un usually early. Twelve ships which had left Cronstadt have been forced to put back, but measures are taken to make a passage through the ice for the ships that are ready. 1,307 ships have arrived at Cronstadt this season ; at Riga, 1,077 ; and sailed I,s7s.—Hamburg !Pare"'HAbIBUBG 1301i5;EN HALLE, Ntkvl3.ia Mosey.

COURT CIRCULAR WiNosoit, MoNVAY.—fier Majesty has not to her Usual equestrian exercise to-day in the Park. The Marquis of Anglesey, the Ladies Paget, and the Earl of Surrey, are expected to arrive this even ing, and will join the Royal circle at dinner. Lord Dunfermline, Viscount Melbourne, and Vis count Duncannon, took their departure this morning from the Castle. The " turn-out" this morning took place at Tower Hill, beyond Ascot Heath. The stag came across the Bachelor's Acie, and into Veaseod-street, through a very small entry or thoroughfare, called Sun-passage, up Peascod-street at a rapid pace, a number of bipeds at his heels, but no part of the hunt ; he made direct for the Castle, passing the two sentries, regardless of their endeavours to stay his progress ; one of the 'men held out his rifle, but at a bound the stag cleared both it and the man, and so into the Little Park in front of the Castle, and was secured on the opposite side. Soon afterwards one of the huntsmen rode up and one of the hounds, and ended in having the stag properly secured. The whole of the Hunt were at fault. Lliel Her Majesty, the Queen Dowager, left the residence of the Earl Howe, Gopsall Hall, Leicestershire, yester day morning, attended by her suite, on a visit to the Duke of Rutland, at his seat, Belvoir Castle.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. 81n—I received yesterday a newspaper containing memorial to Lord Nornianby, signed by a number of respectable gentlemen in London, which contains a pa ragraph that surprises me very much, as it gives an en tirely different imp ress i on o f m y refusal to appear to the citation issued against me from that which is the true one. And I am the more surprised at this, because I see among the names that of the gentlema❑ at whose per suasion I was prevailed upon to return home, when I had gone to London for the purpose of appearing, and called at the Patriot Office expecting to meet wieb some information to guide me on which I might rely. The paragraph to which I refer is in the following words : " That he did not appear to such citation becaue of the expenses that would attend upon such a proceeding," Sir, it was certainly urged by the gentleman whom L I saw at the Patriot Office, the Secretary of the Church rate Abolition Society, that it would be an enormous expense ; but that which alone prompted me to give up my intention to appear and contest the lawfulness of the rate, was the assurance made to me that if I did not appear more good would be effected to the cams of re ligious liberty, which I have at heart, than would be ef fected by my appearance to question the legality of the rate. In addition to this Mr. Boykett assured me, to use his own words, that they would move heaven and earth in the cause if I should be committed. You, Sir, who deserve the best thanks of the friends of religious freedom for what you have done in the cause, can tell that if it had not been for yourself alone at one time, and a small number of disinterested friends i❑ the country, and more especially my untiring and un solicited friend, John Childs, Esq., of Bungay, I should have been left in this place forgotten and neglected. I am thankful to every friend who has shown their concern for me ; but, Sir, I feel that it is the cause of God, and cannot let any erroneous impression go forth. And I trust, through my extreme sufferings, that another blow may be given to the e cclesiastical oppression, which shall make such trials as mine unknown to succeeding generations. Sir, I forgive my persecutors, as wed as those who, by giving me false counsel, have lcd ma into greater difficulty and suffering. I am, Sr, your obliged servant, JOHN THOROGOOD.

EVENING EDITION. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Auber's Masaniello was performed here last night the veteran vocalist Braham taking his old part, the hero. With the merits as well as the demerits of the performance the play-going public are well acquainted. Brilliant of course has lost much of his power, but in even passages he succeeded in imparting a smack of the sweetness and strength that eminently distinguished his younger days. He now lives on his reputation ; and a British audience, generously reminiscent of the glory of other days, continues to receive the old singer with rapturous applause. Miss Cooper was the Elvira, but she was, we understood, labouring under illness. Mr. Hatton, who played Pietro, is naturally a clever singer, but was unfitted, by cold, for his duty. The dumb character of Fenella was beautifully enacted by Pau line Guichard. Franks, as Alphonso, sang carefully. Some of the new scenery was good, but unfortunately, from some damp in the fireworks, the " eruption" did not " come off" at once, and the eclat of the finale was diminished by the accident. After Masaniello, a bur letta, in one act, entitled A Close Siege, enlivened the audience. It is a merry little piece, and went el well. The Earl of Chesterfield (Tilbury) has a dashrg son of dissipated habits , Geo r g e Stanho p e (Mr. _King), who is in love with Mabel Flarrowden (Mrs. Frat..ks), an orphan, betrothed to Gilbert Arkwright (Mr. BiJer). Tne equivoque turns upon the fact of the Christjan names of both lovers beginning with G, which leads tb' mistakes on the part of Mabel. For instance, the girl is reproaching her innocent Gilbert with infidelity and dissipation, and threatens to p rove her accusations producing his own father as a witness. She makes good her threat by bringing forward the Earl of Chesterfield, who is then too happy to disco ver that Mabel's " dear G.', is not his son George, but Gilbert, the weaver, and whose intimation of the difference makes the half-waver ing Mabel just as happy in the fidelity of her betrothed. All the parts were well and equally sustainer. and the acting carried off the piece with applaus e. It was an nounced by Mr. Baker for repeti ojn tion every cv:niNg until further notice. Mrs. Franks rather broke d in a song which she had got imperfectly. The ballet L'Amore closed the evening's performance. Apropos to the ballet, we may justly enough say, that there are in it some good dancers ; but we think the mana ger must have had much difficulty in getting to gether so rare a collection of ladies whose faces have been cheated of every, even the commonest charm, to be lavished, perhaps , on their leg s. .1 Ts in d 'be a ly ors It in- ens ole nil To sift/ Y 4 the :01 1 ' Via e 0 1 and the : fish Sara DVO" ittle CO' ing s irid , t he I , ll t the
