LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 18, 1836. The question of Peerage Reform, whatever the Tories may say and believe to the contrary, is making s atisfactory progress. Since we last alluded to the s ubject, two more converts have been made—Sir H. "PARNELL and Mr. TULK both men of station, and unsullied political integrity, The former, in a speech recently delivered to his constituents at Dundee, said, 4 ' it appeared to him that the time was near at hand When something must be done to put an end to the state of disunion which exists between the two Houses of Lords and Commons," evidently implying by the Word " something"—for there is no other available re tedy—his conviction of the necessity of a Reform in the Upper branch of the Legislature. Mr. TULK, at Poole, was still more explicit. "He had always spoken his mind freely," he observed, " and he now de clared himself a real Radical Reformer. He was an ad :3eate for a Reform in the House of Lords ; for vote by ballot ; for the shortening the duration of Parliament ; ! 11 2(1 an extension of the suffrage." The declarations Zi t men like these will have great moral weight with community. Sir H. PARNELL'S " name," in particular, will be a " tower of strength" to the Peer age Reformers ; for he is a statesman of tried sagacity, ‘ 1) 13 1 great experience, and universally respected for the Ol dness and undeviating consistency of his political . °ll (luct. It seems, however, notwithstanding these ac knowledg e d excellences, that the Right Honourable Baronet has given dissatisfaction to some of his Dun ee frie n d s , b y hi s con d uc t with regard to the Ballot. his private opinion (say they) is in favour of it, yet ;t e Voted against it last session. This, no doubt, was j h g r eat error in judgment ; but Sir HENRY observed, :j u stification, that he had previously done all he to prevail on Ministers to make the Ballot an pe nquestion, as was Catholic Emancipation with the c 'Y Cabi ne t ; b u t f a ili ng in his efforts, he had no resource left but either to side with the Government, Itir,jute against them, and so lead to the impression— eh, of course , th e Conservatives would instantly ;iv 1 : 1 , i1 themselves of—that there was weakness, j t disuni on , an d, perhaps, even a split, in the illist er i a l ran k s. Thi s ex pl ana ti o n was—on the Ith a le.—favourabl y received by the Dundee Re illers ; a few indeed of the more sturdy Radicals et 11 P•ressed them se l ves s till dissatisfied—and we quarrel 0, ti c. 'with a distrust that proceeds from the best mo t:8- -- , but th e ma j or i ty ev id ent l y f e l t t h a t th e ir Repre hrueta tiv e , placed as h e was i n a mos t em barrassing d_icament, could scarce l y h ave acte d ot h erw i se th an the We tru s t th at h enceforth M i n i sters w ill see e necessity of relieving their adherents from these s l harm ssments ; and not compel them to be confirm -101 struggling between their duty to the Government th Whioh they belong, and that which they owe to k ei t Constituents. It is too bad that a states eti of Sir H. PARNELL'S eminence should be p f a gged through the mud, merely to suit the purposes t o $ c r. If G overnmen t canno t reconcile it to their i ' 3e o 1 propriety to advocate the ballot, let them, Pth ea st, have the liberality to make it an open question. toe country, to whom th e y owe so much, has a right t ti oll et/lalid this at their hands, especially as they are 't din g no great bo on — ma ki ng no great sa crifice 14 .1.1 4 14 merely adopting a precedent set them by I" eer l'ory predecessors in office. But to return to S ee a t ) ,e Reform. This question, which two years L ord 'Was but the hobby of the few, is now—thanks to be eo LYNDHURST and those who act with him -18441,,14 a matter of paramount consideration with the of /- The majority are impressed with a stern sense eb it` necessity, not from any capricious love of 411 ) , Z 4 41* ---for th e E ng lish, as a people, are natur e v errie to innovation—but because their good be h ?e ach es t h em , t h at w ithout such Reform, to 118 4 tess of sound, efficient legislation, must come 4 ead stand-still. Willingly—most wi llin g l y their `4l ey leave the Lords in the full possession of a l l by )11itical privileges ; but they se e and feel that , Co m m ,s (loin g ; they would only be sacrificing th e 'lls) and consequently their own interests. 8- speech lately delivered by Sir JOHN CAMP -1 a. et' .

It is a just tribute to the ex 't4ll3, = Of the address, and will be the means of mate y dvanci n o• t h e Uoo d cause which Sir JOHN SO th bedy (1. ocates The style i s admirably suited to tlb eet had mainly in view— which the Speaker lib m el t ,Yy to • a qe give a correct representation of the efforts 41 0 , Ministers to give effect to the Reform Bill, 4 th e -o ose obstacles opposed to these efforts by the ° I Lords at the instigation of Lord LYND ktid ofte It is quite unambitious, but singularly pithy, N v ._ ll Most happily pi quan t. noticed this masterly speech at considerable length at the time of its delivery ; but we are sure our readers will be pleased to have their memories refreshed by an extract or two from a composition, which pos sesses the merit of having procured for its author a more than ordinary effusion of bile from Tories of all ranks and degrees—from the proud, elaborate, and som niferous Lord WHARNCLIPFE to the truculent quill driver of the Times, or the nondescript animal who spits its venom in the columns of the Morning Post. Having alluded to the defeat of the unprincipled attempt of the Tory party to gain a triumph by bring ing a false accusation against Mr. O'CONNELL, and of the still more abandoned conspiracy against Lord MELBOURNE, which they endeavoured to prop up by suborning witnesses to give false testimony in a Court of justice, Sir JOHN CAMPBELL proceeds to state the system of tactics to which the factious Peers had recourse, and gives, in a few touches, a capital pic ture of the " Alien" Baron whom they chose as their leader, and set for the nonce in the front of the Peerage. " The hopes of the Tories being thus disappointed, nothing remained for them except to adopt a system whereby, as far as practicable, useful legislation might be put a stop to. It seems to me that for this purpose the Tories changed their leader. They now threw aside the mask of Reformers—they no longer appeared as pseudo liberals, but were determined to act on their own genuine principles. Some of them looked on Sir Robert Peel as little better than a Radical, and the Duke of Wellington was considered deficient in energy and vigour. —(Laughter.) They therefore resorted to my Lord Lyndhurst. " It is with great reluctance that I say any thing which can be considered in the slightest degree as reflecting cen sure on that Noble Lord. I have known him long—.l have eaten salt with him—which I cannot forget, though he may. He is possessed not only of brilliant talents, but most agreeable manners—he has power to assume a plea sing shape.—(Laughter.) However, in the discharge of a public duty I must make a few observations upon him in consequence of his new capacity—painful as this must be to my feelings. "He has recently said of me he believes lam a Whig.' Most correct ! and I say with equal truth I be lieve he was a Whig, and a great deal more—(Cheers) — and I do not despair of seeing him again return to our side of the question.—(Hear, hear.) He is liable to sud den changes of opinion—always acting conscientiously ; and though it may happen that, in those changes, his opi nions coincide with his interest, yet he has the magnanimity to act upon them.—(Laughter and cheers.) When he re turns to the Liberal cause, we shall hail him with satisfac tion—(Cries of No, no !')—Yes, yes !—but taking care that he does not drive on too rapidly, and that he does not urge us to propose measures which may prove subversive of the Monarchy under which we were born, and under which I hope we wish to live and die." Sir JoHN's remarks upon the two great Irish mea sures proposed by Ministers, and rejected by the Lords are admirable. The question of spoliation re ceives no quarter, and is soon reduced to its proper dimensions, when it comes into contact with his sturdy common sense. Here again we have a happy hit at " the Alien." " In the first place, according to the recommendation in his Majesty's speech, a Bill was introduced for the pur pose of establishing peace and harmony in Ireland by the settlement of the tithe question, and for introducing a considerable degree of reform into the Irish Church. That measure passed the House of Commons, and was sent to the House of Lords. They did what they know would amount to a complete rejection of the Bill—and what was the pretext ? Why, it contained what is called the ap propriation clause. It is a curious fact that, in 1834, a Bill nearly the same in substance was sent up to the House of Peers, but without the appropriation clause, and that Bill was rejectd.—(Hear, and cheers.) Now, what is this bugbear—the appropriation clause ? The principle of it is this, and no more—that if there shall be a surplus in the revenues of the Irish Church, beyond what is necessary for the maintenance of the Protestant Establishment in Ireland, and for ministering to the spiritual wants of the Protestants in that country, it shall be applied to the education of Catholics and Protestants generally. Is that spoliation ? is that robbing the Church ? if we take from the Church what is necessary for promoting the instruction and mi nistering to the spiritual wants of her members, then there would be just cause to complain ; because I hold that the funds which are set apart for religious instruction are sa cred, while they are not more than sufficient for that pur pose ; but if a surplus exist, then I maintain that it is not only the privilege but the duty of the State to apply that surplus, and it cannot be better applied than to the pur poses of education.—(Cheers.) The system of education adopted, against which such factious clamour has been raised, was framed by Lord Stanley and has been patronised by Sir Robert Peel. The Bill was rejected—at least it was substantially rejected—because it was mutilated in such a manner as to lead necessarily to its destruction. " I shall next mention the Irish Corporation Bill. Nov you are peculiarly well qualified to judge of the wisdom and expediency of this measure. You had cor porations in Scotland which had completely usurped the rights of the people, and much corruption, I am afraid, existed in them ; but it was as nothing compared to the abuses which prevailed in the Irish corporations. You ob tained Municipal Reform ; and, after a severe struggle, Municipal Reform was also obtained for England, and in consequence of that measure, in almost all the towns of Great Britain there has been a marked improvement, and gene ral satisfaction prevails among all classes. Is it fair to with hold from Ireland what Scotland and England have ob tained? Yes, says my Lord Lyndhurst, because the Irish are aliens in blood, aliens in language, and aliens in religion. (Cheers.) He might have used the same arguments against the Scottish Municipal Reform Bill ; but such ar guments in that case, would have been used in vain. You would have indignantly raised your voices against such language, and have insisted, as your ancestors did, upon your right to acquire all those free institutions which are enjoyed by your fellow•citizens.—(Cheers.) I know of no other reasons for opposing that Bill, except that the Irish are not always quiet and submissive ; and I am afraid, till there be a change in the system of legislation for Ire land, it will not be difficult to cite instances of outrage and tumult in that country ; for it is the law of our nature that when we are oppressed we try to be revenged. I lately heard from my Gallant Friend Sir Ronald Ferguson, that that in all Scotland there are not more than 2,500 soldiers, and these are maintained more for the sake of parade than from any existing necessity to preserve order ; while in Ireland it is necessary to station the great bulk of our stand ing army. Why ? because of the taunts of Lord Lynd hurst, and those who follow in his train—that the Irish are aliens in blood, language, and religion. It happened in the reign of Charles 11. that the great bulk of the English army was employed in Scotland. And why ? Because our ancestors were persecuted ; but so soon as they ob tained their rights, and were placed on an equal footing with the rest of the community, peace returned to Scotland —soldiers became unnecessary, the laws were honoured and observed ; from similar causes similar effects will flow. The Paris Journals of Wednesday have all been re ceived. The Moniteur contains the following official communications : " BAYONNE, Nov. 11, Six p.m.—Alaix has arrived at Tala vera, where he was to be joined on the Gth by Narvacz and his division. Rodil was one day's march distant. They are to operate together against Gomez, who is towards Caceres. " Nov. 13, Halt-past Six p.m.---The Carlists resumed the siege of Bilboa on the 7th, and took possession of two small advanced works and their garrisons. Villareal, on the Bth, observed Espartero, who continues in the valley of Mena. General Lebcau on the same day made a reconnoissance upon Estella and threw some shells into the place ; he also occn• pied by force all the neighbouring villages, and returned to Otevsa on the 9th. "Nov. 14, at Noon.—The Carlists before Bilboa occupied on the 10th San Mamez, and took 300 men and six pieces of ordnance; Espartero stirred not. Cardero has left Madrid with powers to deprive Alaix of his command, and confer it upon Narvaez." The capture of the fortified convent of San Mamez by the Carlists was communicated to us at noon yes terday, and we were about to publish it when letters were received stating that the account was a mere fabrication. In the rest there is nothing either new or important, with the exception of AL A IX'S disgrace by command of the Madrid Government. We approve of this measure. We cannot, however, congratulate the Government upon its choice of the officer who is to succeed ALAIX. General NARVAEZ is not distin guished for military exploits, and he is still less known as a commander capable of great things, . even when circumstances most favour their performance. By the junction of the troops now under his command with A LAIX'S division, he will be at the head of a force of from eleven to twelve thousand strong—a force equal to that now commanded by the War Mi nister. This is significant of still greater promotion. If he be successful against the Carlists, and particu larly against GoMEZ, he will undoubtedly replace Itonm hi the command of the army. The War Mi nister is manifestly tottering—a touch will upset him.

Thus 20/., or 301., for instance, if remitted in One Bank of Eng tand Note would only cause double Postage, but 10/. remitted in ,wo notes, would be liable to a much higher charge. It is there re most advisable, for any Person having to remit Money to Ham 11Pgh, to forward the amount in One Note; or having to receive Noney from Hamburgh, to receive the same in One Note, when ."" Possible. Of course remittances from Hamburgh to England, -11 rPassin g the usual amount of One Bank of England Note, may rather be made in Bills of Exchange, on London. r , To save expenses that may as well be avoided, we request our , orrespo n d ents not to overlook these particulars.

Till then we may expect that a world of intrigues will be set on foot in order to obtain a majority in the Deputies. Count MOLE and M. THIERs are actively engaged in marshalling their respective supporters for the great struggle. The death of the ex-King, CHARLES X., is the subject of considerable political speculation with our Paris Contemporaries. It is a doubtful question with many whether the Court will or will not go into mourn ing. Its solution is easy enough. The Court will not go into mourning ; but for some weeks the amuse ments enjoyed by some members of the Royal Family will be discontinued. The following is the latest intelligence from Navarre : On the morning of the 4th the Carlist General, Don Fran cisco Garcia, left the valley of Solona, and took the direction of the city of Lodosa, with five Navarrese battalions, two squa drons of cavaltry, and two pieces of artillery, with the inten tion of destroying the fort of that town. They arrived the same day, and at once summoned the garrison to surrender. As soon as the acting Captain-General of Pamplona was ap prised of this march of the Carlists, he gave orders that all the disposable troops of that town should march to the relief of Lodosa. On the 4th the troops so detached reached Puenta-la-Reyna and Obenos, which places they left on the sth, having for their object the fortified hermitage of Santa Barbara, situated on the heights commanding Maneru. These heights were defended by four Car list battalions, which at the approach of the Christinos opened fire. After a short skirmish the Christinos succeeded in driving back the enemy, and, having obtained possession of the hermitage, instantly destroyed it. They then proceeded to pillage both Maneru and Artaza. The number of Christino troops engaged in the affair, was 3,100-3,000 infantry, and 100 cavalry. They were commanded by Lebeau, and Leon Iriarte. The Carlist Junta of Navarre published an order on the 2d of this month, by which the managing parties of the several houses either in town or country, whose proprietors, from attachment to the Constitution, have taken refuge in France, are directed to present their produce at the Royal Treasury at Estella. Those who neglect obedience to this order are to be punished by death." FRENCH FUNDS.—PARts, Nov. 16. Five per Cents., 105 f. 65c 70c. 80c. 55c. Four and a Half per Cents., 100 f. 75c.

On the 7th Senor C ALATRA VA, Pre3ident of the Council, informed the Cortes, that he had received her MAJESTY'S commands to lay before them copies of negotiations agreed upon between th e agents of the South American Spanish Colonies and the Government of the Mother Country, and that he was instructed to apply to the Legislature for the powers necessary for their ratification. These papers were at once referred to a Committee. The result is already known. As soon as the necessary forms can be gone through, the Cortes will authorise the Go vernment to acknowledge the independence of the colo nies in question. How happy would it have been for Spain had such a measure received the sanction of the Cortes and the Crown at the accession of Charles IV. In the sitting of the 7th, MENDIZABAL was called upon to furnish the Cortes with the estimates of ex pense and revenue for the year 1837 ; and likewise the accounts of the expenditure under the late Adminis tration. The Finance Minister stated that he was prepared with his budget for the ensuing year ; but some time longer was necessary to make up the ac counts of the expenditure of the financial year just ended. Senors ALVARO and RODRIGUEZ LEAL spoke vehemently against any delay. They referred to England, and insisted that no Chancellor of the Exchequer in this country would dare to ask the Com mons for money before furnishing them with details, showing how all that had been previously granted was disposed of. The President of the Council defended his colleague. The attacks upon him were most unfair. There was no comparison between the countries, between whose financial arrangements a comparison had been sought to be instituted. England was prosperous and at peace ; Spain poor and disorganised. The Minister of Finance addressed the Chamber a second time, and said that in France it usually required eighteen months to wind up the expenses of the past year. These ex planations were received with demonstrations of entire satisfaction by the Chamber. The conclusion of the War Committee's Report was not read up to the moment the mails of the Bth left Madrid. 'rile debates upon it were expected to be very violent. It will be seen by reference to our Corn Report this day, that the price has fallen from two to three shil lings—amounting to five shillings—since Monday. This is a good practical answer to the alarmists about gold leaving the country. THE FUNDS.—(THIS DAY.) CITY, THIEL?'" O'CLO CK.

After the consent petitions were disposed of the argu• ments were resumed in the case of WILLIAMS V. CALVERLEY. Mr. ROGERS, who was with Mr. Kindersley, addressed the Court in support of the plaintiff's case. Upon Mr. PEMBERTON rising to reply, The MASTER of the ROLLS threw out a suggestion that the circumstances would probably be better investigated in a court of law, the evidence before the Court being so con flicting. Mr. PEMBERTON said that a trial at law might do very well for Mrs. Calverley, who had an income of 9001. a year, but that it might be ruin and death to his client, her husband, who had given up the only income he possessed in consideration of receiving the dividends of the Long An nuities. His wife had eloped, carrying with her the 900/. a-year, and he would have literally to starve during the time the plaintiff might think fit to suspend the proceedings at law, not having anything in the world to subsist upon but the dividends. Under all the circumstances, the Learned Gentleman contended the Court might dissolve the in junction. The MASTER of the ROLLS said that if be could decide the case in the present state of the evidence, he would cer tainly do so ; but he should postpone his judgment for the present,:in order that he might attentively read over and consider the terms of the settlement. It was also possible that as Mr. Sharpe the stock broker was the only witness present at the time when the transfer was made by the lady to her husband in the joint names of the two, be might have some further explanatory evidence to give which his Lordship wished should be ascertained, and he would deliver judgment on Monday morning next.

His Honour the CHANCELLOR gave judgment this morning in this case, which stood over to enable his Honour to ad the reported case of " Walker v. Simmons," in whitill it was contended that Lord Eldon had laid down the general practice of the Court to be, that where default had been made by three trustees out of four, the fourth trustee might at the instance of the plaintiff, institute proceedings against them, without making, in case of the death of one of the defaulting trustees, his representatives parties. His Honour, after carefully reading over the case, did not think, from the arguments there used, the fair inference was what had been contended for at the bar. He should, therefore, order that the representatives of the defaulting trustees should be made parties. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) ENTS V. BENNETT. Sir W. FOLLETT had been instructed to apply to the Court in this case for a trial at bar. It was an action brought against persons acting under the authority of the lessees of the Duk e of Marlborough, for working certain mines in the county of Cornwall. The question intended to be raised was the ascertaining the boundaries of the Crown-lands and the rights of the Crown. An application of a similar kind had been granted some time since in the Court of Exchequer, and their Lordships would, he trusted, be of opinion that in a case involving rights of so much magnitude he was entitled to a trial at bar. Lord DENMAN_-In the case to which you have alluded the application was for a rule to chew cause. Sir W. FOLLETT—Yes, my Lord, and that is my appli cation. Another part of the rule for which I apply is, that one of the two actions which have been brought may be stayed until the result of the other has been ascertained. COURT—You may take a rule. ORLAY V. DUNBAR. In this case, which was an action brought by the Ne therlands Steam Navigation Company against the under writers, to recover the amount of a policy of insurance for 27,0001., effected upon the steam-vessel Pylades, and the particulars of which have already been before the public, Sir Wm. FOLLETT moved for leave to have the sum of 27,0001., for which the plaintiff had obtained a verdict, vested in Exchequer Bills, and paid into Court, as from the immense quantity of business before their Lordships, there being 150 motions for new trials, it was impossible that the new trial could take place before a year and a half. Some of the underwriters had since died, and before the trial came on, from the fluctuations to which such com mercial speculations were subject, the defendants might become insolvent.—Application granted. The remainder of the morning was occupied with cases from the special paper. BAIL COURT. (Before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE.) KNIGHT V. WALKER. Mr. RICHARDS obtained a rule, calling upon Fulham to show cause why a writ of attachment should not issue against him for not obeying a subpoena to attend a trial at the last Monmouth Assizes. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied for a rule calling upon the proprietors of the Wolverhampton Chronicle to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against them for a libel published in that journal on the Mayor of Lichfield. There had re cently been an election of Town-councillors at Licthfield, and after it was over a hand-bill was placarded through the town, imputing improper conduct from corrupt motives to the Mayor of Lichfield during that election. He (the Attorney-General) had obtained a rule against the printer of that handbill. The proprietors of the Wolverhampton paper had since thought proper to copy this libellous handbill into their journal. The handbill was a supposed address from sit burgesses belonging to a certain party in the town, and it stated that at the late election ninety-two objections had been made to different voters ; but that the Mayor and assessors had refused to allow them, on the ground that the notices of objection were irregular ; and they therefore retained the names objected to on the list. The affidavit of the Mayor swore, that in doing so he acted conscientiously, and to the best of his judgment, and not from any fear or malice towards any party. The Wolverhampton paper, however in commenting upon this hand-bill, said, " that the rights of the burgesses were likely to be frustrated chiefly by the exercise of a power given to an individual who feared no legal, and disregarded all moral, consequences, and who at his pleasure placed on or struck out the names of burgesses from the lists, according to what might happen to suit the views which that individual was supposed to entertain. If the burgesses had been allowed to exercise impartially and unmolested their franchise, the opinions they ex pressed on the hustings would also have found represen tatives in our Town Council."—Rule granted. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) THE BANK OF ENGLAND V. ANDERSON AND OTHERS. Mr. MAULS concluded his reply in this case this morning. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said that the Court would take time to consider the case before giving their opinion. EXCHEQUER COURT.-(THIS DAY.) BRIXTON COURT OF REQUESTS ACT. HAMLEY V. HUTTON. Mr. BAYLEY showed cause against a rule obtained on a former day by Mr. Gale, to enter a suggestion on the re cord, so as to deprive the plaintiff of costs under the 46th Geo. HI., chap. 88, establishing a Court of Requests for the Western Division of the Hundred of Brixton. It ap peared that the plaintiff and defendant were both resident within the county of Middlesex when the debt which formed the subject of the action was contracted, but that the defendant afterwards went to reside at Tootin g -lane, within the jurisdicti on o f t h e C our t. Th e L earne d Coun sel contended that the statute only referred to debts arising within the jurisdiction, and where both plain tiff and defendant were resident, otherwise there would be a failure of justice, as the Commissioners had no power to enforce distr ess f or costs aga i nst th e pl a i n tiff w h en he happened to reside out of the jurisdiction. The Judges of common Pleas, in the case of Dillamore v. Capon, 1 Bing., had put the construction now contended for upon the Southwark and East Brixton Act, which was in its terms very nearly similar to the statute under consideration, and that case was now mainly relied upon The COURT was of opinion that the words of the statute clearly brought the defendant within the jurisdiction, even when the plaintiff resided elsewhere, and made the rule ab solute, so depriving the plaintiff of his costs. COURT OF REVIEW.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE BUTLER, A BANKRUPT. Mr. Twiss on behalf of a creditor, Mr. D. Groucbie, whose case came before the Court on a former day, stated that an arrangement had taken place between the parties, with the consent of the assignees, whereby the petitioner, his client, was allowed to prove under the commission for the sum of 4851. advanced by him to the bankrupt. What he now wished for was a rule to that effect, and ho might be allowed the costs of the petition out of the estate. The COURT could not grant the costs of the petition. Let Mr. De Grouchie pay his own, and allow the costs of opposing it to be defrayed out of the estate, the assignees ISLINGTON CATTLE MARKET.

(S'.. • w 711 . • r POOLE.-THURSDAY. rvi ;7: `~~.:r TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Z Vgk. 4 , Sir,—l have just seen a paragraph in the renega d e T respecting the state of the two political - p ar ti es i n I° -;1.0 ,1 place ; and feeling that such s t a tement may p oss ibl y lead some who are not so well aware as we are here of the motives for giving publicity to a statement so utterly at variance with truth, I have taken the liberty, by means of your widely-circulated journal, to lay before the public the following statement. Strange as it may appear, there are not twenty Tories in Poole ; but there is a party held together by dint of a most lavish expenditure of money, and the entire sacrifice (by the leaders) of every moral principle, so repugnant to every honest mind, that more than our conscientious Tory, rather than act in any shape with such a combination of all that is disgraceful, (see the facts proved before a Committee of the House of Commons on the late Municipal election), have been fairly driven into the ranks of the Reformers—the only appropriate name we can find for this party is that of Tory-Radicals, by which they are known in this place. At the registration just ended there were eighteen claims made good, eleve n o f w hi c h were R e f ormers, f i ve T ory- Radicals, and two doubtful ; there were also struck off the list, as published by the overseers, forty-five Tory-Ra dicals and only five Reformers. This is the result of the late registration, on which the party here so much plume themselves ; but the Refo rmers o f P oo l e are prepare d at the next election, come when it may, to return their old and well-proved Members by a triumphant majority. Now, Sir, a few words on the motives of the party, in giving publicity to a statement so utterly false as that in the Times. _ _ The Tory-Radicals of this place h ave b een so many times defeated, although (according to their own showing) they had always a certain majority varying from fifty to one hun dred, that to procure a candidate who will allow himself to be made a cat's-paw of, in order to repay some three or four interested individuals certain largesums of money which have been by them thrown away, is no easy task ; at least we take it for granted that Mr. 17-g and M r . B—r have both seen enough of the Tory-Radicals of Poole, a nd poor General G—t cannot again be made a victim of by them. The fact is, the Tory-Radicals, although well aware in the event of a contest they must be again beaten, as they ever have been, yet, in order to procure a person who will come forward to pay their numerous debts, in short, to be made a stalking-horse of; have again resorted to the re petition of those statements which they have invariably made at the four last contests for this place, at each of which they have been defeated, as they will be again, pro vided they can find another candidate sufficiently soft and credulous to place himself and his PURSE at their disposal. D. T. CHURCH-RATES POSTPONED. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Norwich, St. George's Colegate, Nov. 17. SIR—An attempt ha again been made in this parish to make a Church -rate, but has proved a complete failure. A vestry meeting was held this morning for that purpose, by the express command of the Norwich Archdeaconry, and a more signal defeat I never witnessed. The event has been exactly what I anticipated in my letter last week a com plete and perfect triumph to the Reformers. Not a single individual could be found who would support the rate. There were two or three persons wl.o came for that pur pose, but when they saw the numbers that were opposed to them, they very prudently withdrew before the proceed ings commenced. Our meeting was honoured by the presence of several Town Councillors, among whom was Mr. Sheriff Bateman, Mr. Alderman Marshall, and Mr. John Francis. When the last meeting was held for the purpose alluded to, I did think the decided and emphatic manner in which we recorded our feelings upon that occasion would have been a suffi cient demonstration of our strength and of our determina tion ; but no, the " powers that be" were determined to " give us another opportunity of assenting to a rate, and of re-considering our position ;" but previous to this they commenced their work of intimidation, by sending letters to some of the most active opponents of the rate. The result of this day's :proceedings has shown to them and to the world how weak and futile were their efforts when op posed to the parish of St. George's. The thunders of the Ecclesiastical Court are utterly powerless when hurled at the brazen fronts and stubborn hearts of the men of Colerr u ate. We w ill fi g ht th e goo d fight inch by inch, and will abide the issue of the contest; and I think our opponents will find eventually that the pa rish of St. George's is more than a match for the " R eg i s .. try-office," though backed by all the pains and penalties they can bring to their assistance. We do not merely ob ject to Church-rates for the sake of avoiding payment— " it is to assert and maintain a great and important prin ciple"—a principle that is supported by reason, justice, and common sense, and upon this basis we are willing to stand or fall. There is no lack of religion in the parishioners of St. George's ; but Christianity is n o t cen t ere d so l e ly in the Established Church. Our cause is strengthened and sup ported by truth, reason, justice, and argument ; our oppo nents' by persecution, tyranny, injustice,and intimidation. H. T. Mr. Sheriff Bateman was called to the Chair, who opened the business of the meeting in a neat and pithy address. Mr. Murray, Churchwarden, proposed a rate of 9d. in the pound. After which Mr. J. Watts moved the adjourn ment of the rate to that day twelvemonths, which was se conded by the Rev. J. Brook, and supported by Mr. J. Francis, Mr. Alderman Marshall, Mr. Riches, and others. Upon a show of hands every hand was held up for the amendment, and not one for the rate. GRAND MASTER for SOUTH WALES. APPOINTMENT OF PROVINCIAL GRAND MAS TER FOR SOUTH WALES, VACANT BY THE DEATH OF THE LATE SIR C. COLE, K.C.B. There is no truth in the report of his Grace the Duke of Beaufort having accepted the above high and honour able appointment ; as we can state from undoubted autho rity, that his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Grand Master of all England, has conferred it upon Mr. Guest, M.P. for Merthyr Tydvil, and which he has accepted. Although the Craft disclaim all political feeling in their selection of officers, still we cannot help congratulating the Brethren of the Principality upon the appointment of so liberal and spirited a head to their Society. consenting. There was no objection to the other part of the application. EX-PARTE MARKS IN RE COLNAGHI. In this matter Mr. SWANSTON applied for an order, em powering the assignees to accept of certain propositions made to them by a Mr. Philipps, regarding the disposition of some of the property of the bankrupt, or that it might be referred to the Commissioner to make inquiry thereupon. The Learned Gentleman went into a lengthened argument to show that the Court had jurisdiction in this case, and cited a number of authorities in support of his position, but The COURT were of opinion that the granting the order required would be nugatory, and might be mischievous, and would therefore make no rule. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 16. BANKS.—The panic forms the prominent topic of to day's discussion in all the Journals. The Pilot, in a very long article on the subject of what our Contemporary de signates the " money monopoly nuisance," makes the fol lowing, amongst many other observations on the subject : " It can be shown (the Pilot asserts) that the Bank ag gravated the evil, by either not having foreseen the ulterior necessity, and not having guarded against it as far as its position enabled it to do, or that it purposely aggravated the evil. It can be shown that it omitted to do many acts within its power, which would have mitigated the money embarrassments, and that it committed some acts of a wan ton and outrageous nature, which it seems difficult to ac count for, but that it was desirous to increase that embar rassment for sinister purposes. " How, then, has the Bank of Ireland acted throughout the money difficulty ? Let us begin with its conduct in its out branches. It had been in the habit of receiving the notes of the different Joint Stock Banks and their branches in payments of bills, orders, and letters of credit on Lon don, &c., until Monday morning last, when notices were posted up in their branch offices—that in future all parties having Joint Stock Bank notes must be accountable for their solvency for six days. What was inevitable from such a notice ? That which happened. The run commenced on Monday from all these localities. " The Bank also refused all letters of credit, even of the most unexceptional character, for all Joint Stock esta blishments. " The Bank refused also to take Bank of England notes from Joint-Stock Banks, except at half per cent. discount, during the late emergency I ! Quere—are not they a legal tender ? " The Bank refused to discount the best, the most unex ceptionable English and Irish bills for Joint-Stock Banks in this period of pressure, as well as every other period since their establishment. " The Bank actually caused the non-payment for an in terval of the Ulster and Belfast notes, at the Hibernian Bank, by refusing to discount a draft at ten days on the first bankers in London—Prescot, Grote, and Co. "This Bank of Ireland! too, did actually in this emergency, at a period when the " run" came suddenly, and the most wealthy house might for a day have been unprsvided for—this Bank refused to allow a transfer of stock to a large amount, the property of the Joint-Stock Bank thus suddenly pressed upon, and refused it upon the plea, the mere technical objec tion, that it was two minute: after the time—two o'clock ! ! " What, then, is the deduction inevitable from these facts, for which we challenge and defy contradiction, and as well as from a general knowledge of the working of that establishment ? Why that this Bank of Ireland is the Bank only of a coterie—that when it was without compe titors it was but a Bank of Dublin ; or rather of an exclu sive section of Dublin—that when it got competitors, it only then extended its branches, so as to perform, in some small degree, the functions of a National Bank—that it was so angry at the necessity forced on it to do good, that it sought the first opportunity to ruin those who forced the necessity, and that the juncture chosen was evidently with reference to the renewal of its charter, by making it appear that Joint Stock Banks were dangerous to the community, and that it would be necessary to re-charter the Bank of Ireland." The Mail takes a somewhat different view of the causes that led to the monetary crisis, and denies the use and benefit of joint-stock banks in a country situated as Ire land is. Our contemporary asserts that " there is natural trade in Ireland—either in agriculture, manufacture, or commerce, requiring the accommodation which these banks, through their country agencies, acting in the spirit of ardent competition, were disposed to bestow ; and hence the cir cumstance, that a system which has been found to work well and advantageously in England and Scotland totally fails here." The ascription also of the run for gold to po litical causes is of course vehemently denied by the Irish organ of Toryism. And although even the Mail cannot defend every act in the course of conduct which the Bank of Ireland has thought proper to pursue, it still affects to believe that upon this crisis, the Directors did all in the power of men to do, towards stemming the current. Their general system of doing business is confessedly bad. The Mail admits that it is " confined and narrow-minded in the extreme, and liable to that most serious of all charges which could be urged against a public establishment, consti tuted and chartered for such a purpose as a National Bank—a charge of favouritism." With regard to the question of Bank of England notes being a legal tender, the opinions of the Irish as well as of the English Attorney-General, and of Sir William Follett, all concur in stating that " a tender in the note or notes of the Bank of England, payable on demand, whether issued in London or a Branch Bank, is a legal tender in Ireland. A Treasury order has this day been received, directing the Collectors of Customs and Excise to receive payments in their respective departments in Bank of England notes ; and we think the Bank of Ireland would best consult its own character and the general interests of the country by taking them in payment, without insisting on the bonus of a premium. At such a time public opinion will not sustain them in such a course."—Mail. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE.
