TO THE ELECTORS OF WESTMINSTER. Gentlemen,—l hasten to address a few lines to you by a steam-vessel, which I am just informed leaves this within an hour for England. In my letter to you of the early part of the present year I stated that if the military operations could possibly per mit of a temporary absence, it was my full intention and wish to be present in the execution of my duty in Parlia ment during some part of the past Session, addin g , how ever, as I was bound to do, to the effect, and that if in this contingent promise I counted too sanguinely on your favour, I should of course be ready on the instant to obey any order you might deem it necessary to convey to me. This expression of my intention was, I venture to think, favourably received, and I was encouraged to hope you would grant me a further indulgence, even to the end of the Session, if indispensable. I have now, then, the plea sure to inform you, that I have determined not to trespass again in the same degree on your kind indulgence, and that nothing whatever shall prevent my attendance amongst you, at farthest, at the opening of the ensuing Session in Fe bruary next, nor shall I be absent from you so long if any public event should require it. I stated on the occasion adverted to, that premature ri valry of party, the selfish or unfortunate ambition of indivi duals, might possibly retard, but could not prevent, the early establishment of legal and liberal, institutions in this country. It affords me infinite pleasure to inform you that my con victions to that effect are even yet stronger than they were. Violent contentions have arisen amongst the friends of libe ral institutions. Twice within a year the Government has been almost dissolved ; but notwitwstanding these vast mo mentary advantages to its assailants, not one town, to this day, throughout the kingdom, acknowledges the sway of the bigotted and cruel Pretender—while, whatever the diffe rences of opinion on other points may be, the devoted love and attachment of all true Spaniards remain as firmly bound as ever to the benevolent authority of the Regent, and to the throne of her illustrious daughter ; and although the scourge of rebellion still afflicts the country, and a great part of these immediate provinces is in the possession of the banditti, who would, in defiance of civilized Europe, re-establish an implacable despotism, still, if there lie any point more completely proved than another by recent events, it is that the cause of Don Carlos is absolutely and completely hopeless. I am obliged to conclude abruptly by expressing to you my thanks, and subscribing myself Your faithful and devoted servant, St. Sebastian, Nov. 1, 1836. D. L. EVANS.

A friend, who arrived in town at a late hour last night, informs us that tho Balloon descended at St. Omer, on Tuesday evening, at seven o'clock. The balloon passed over Dover at five on Tuesday afternoon. At Calais it was seen by the sentinels on guard as it was passing imme diately over the town, but from the darkness it did not at tract general attention. It ultimately descended at St. Omer, about seven o'clock, without the slightest accident having occurred.—[We understand the Proprietors of the Vauxhall Gardens have not received any letter confirming the above.—En.

FRANCE. PARTS, Nov. S.—A private letter from Naples, of Oc tober 24, says, " Tho cholera begins to rage in a frightful manner. This morning there were 291 cases, and 196 deaths—among the latter is one of the sons of the Minister of Finance. Several of my acquaintance have been attacked, and some have fallen victims. This dreadful disorder often carries off, in four or five hours, those whom it has seized. However, it is perhaps not the cholera that is most feared here, but the infatuation of the people, who believe that poison is the cause, and are guilty of the greatest excesses in the streets to all persons who seem to be of good condi tion. However, the authorities adopt wise and rigorous measures to prevent such outrages. Out of prudence, I never go out except in a carriage. At the beginning, the most extravagant measures were employed. Happily, the Government has thought fit to modify them."—Messager, Nov. 8. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, Nov. S.

Fresh details, more unsatisfactory than those published yesterday, respecting the affair of Almaden, and the pro gress of Gomez, have been received to-day. Brigadier Flinter, who defended himself in a fortified barrack for thirty hours, laid down his arms on the 24th, at nine o'clock in the morning. The Commandant La Fuente, governor of Almaden, held out until noon in the fort ; but was then forced to surrender. Both these officers were made pri soners by Gomez, together with their soldiers, about 1,200 or 1,500 in number. The riches of Almaden have served to increase still more the booty of the Carlist Chief. He seized all the money belonging to the Royal administration of the quicksilver mines, and took away the money chest belonging to the receiver of the taxes. He also took pos session of the arms and war provisions which were in the forts. On the following day Gomez had proceeded to some distance from Almaden, and, on the 26th, he crossed the Guadiana at the ford of Talarrubios, then marching direct north, he arrived on the 27th at Guadalupe. It appears from the intelligence last received that he was still there on the 28th, at two o'clock in the afternoon. This small town—celebrated for its sanctuary—frequented by pilgrims coming from all parts of Spain, is situated at the western extremity of the mountains of Toledo, twelve leagues east of Truxillo, twenty five leagues from Toledo, and forty leagues from Madrid. Gomez, by his attack on Almaden, completely baffled the vigilance and strategic plans of General Rodil. The Carlists remained there from the night of the 22d until 3 o'clock in the morning of the 25th, and nevertheless Rodil did not go to the suc cour of the place, or make any preparation to dispute the passage of the Guadiana with the Carlists. Gomez, it then appears, was on the 28th at Guadalupe, and Rodil at Mohedas. Guadalupe is fifteen leagues from the Tagus, from which Mohedas is only four leagues, in the direction of Puente-del-Arzobispo. It is not as yet known whether Gomez has continued to the north, in order to pass the Tagus at the Arzobispo, or lower down, near Almarez ; or whether he has proceeded towards the east. If he has passed the Tagus it must be with the intention of me nacing Madrid, and overrunning the Castiles, or rejoining the army of Don Carlos. If, on the contrary, he has gone towards the cast, he then intends to traverse the north of La Mancha, in order to regain the frontier of Va lencia, which he left not long ago. No mention is any longer made of Alaix's division. Rodil states, that for se veral days past that General had ceased to communicate with him. The Spanish newspapers, even those which are generally the most moderate, fulminate vehemently against Alaix and Rodil. As we have before said, they are de scribed as deserving capital punishment. The greatest anx iety prevails in the capital, which is only protected by the division of Narvaez. Rodil concludes his despatch of the 28th by affirming, as he has so often done in all his other despatches, that the moment when the rebel band of Gomez will meet with its destruction is close at hand. Unfortunately this is the habitual language of the Queen's generals at each fresh success of the insurgents.—Jour na l des Dehats. The following is from the Espanol of the 30th ult.:— " It appears that Almaden has definitively fallen into the power of Gomez. Flinter surrendered at nine o'clock on the morning of the 24th. Fuente underwent the same fate, but, if report may be believed, he surrendered to the enemy only a corpse, having killed himself. Almaden, that gem in the crown of Castile, that rich and productive town, has been abandoned to the rapacity of the enemy. Ge neral Rodil, however, continues to trace on the map his plans of campaign, which he will, no doubt, carry into execution, when the population has been ruined, when the Carlists are gorged with plunder. We are unable to understand this obstinate inaction, and still less can we comprehend how Gomez, embarrassed with his pri soners, and loaded on his march with military waggons of every description, could escape the pursuit of so many divisions, and so many Generals who combine their ef forts to come up with him, whilst Alaix, after taking 1,200 men at Villa Robledo, is unable to continue his ac celerated march. Nevertheless, he had with him a multi tude of National Guards, who might have been intrusted with the surveillance of the prisoners. There was also a convent, in which they might have been confined, and, in a word, the Government was at a short distance, and might have deliberated on the most suitable means of taking advantage of such opportunities. The most tried patience would be unable to tolerate such incapacity. Such conduct is shameful, and the depositaries of power here neglect the public interest in the most absurd and scanda lous manner. It belongs to the assembled Cortes to sub ject to the severest inquiry a degree of negligence which alarms every good citizen. The following correspondence from Andujar may give an idea of all the forces concen trated round Gomez :—Espinosa is at Cordova, Butron daily drawing nearer to Andujar, San Martin on the road to Badajoz, Rodil at Almadovar, Riviero at La Calzada, and Alaix at Baden." Extract of a letter of the 31st ult. from Madrid ; " Public attention here has been much excited by what has transpired by a secret sitting held by the Cortes on the 28th. The civil war was the principal topic of debate, and a number of deputies spoke forcibly against the inexplicable inaction of General Rodil. So strong and so unanimous was the outcry on this point, that the members of the Ca binet were compelled to declare that they neither could nor would oppose the impeachment of the General, if the news of the taking of Almaden was confirmed, and it was offi cially notified that the General had not marched to the re lief of the town. A circumstance which renders the pos session of Almaden of the utmost importance to the Government is, within the circumference of the town are worked the celebrated quicksilver mines, farmed out to the house of Rothschild. It is quite certain — and Ministers alone now affect ignorance of the fact--that Almaden was taken on the 23d by Gomez. If that chief has destroyed or inundated the most productive mines in Spain, the Government will be totally unable to meet the engagements entered into with the Rothschilds. The ex penses necessary for renderini , the mines productive are es timated at 10,000,000. Nothing is yet known as to the step which the Carlist chief may have taken with regard to the mines ; and the same doubt and uncertainty prevails on the subject of his march. Some suppose that he has resumed his march towards Estremadura. In the same sitting some confidential despatches from Espartero are said to have been read, announcing that he is in want of all the material means that might enable him to march to the re lief of Bilboa—a fact which, in the event of the raising of the siege, would be the less encouraging, as an engagement with the principal division of th Carlist army would thereby be rendered almost inevitable. In the course of the sitting, M. Cardero, a young deputy, whose violent opi nions are notorious, dwelt with great warmth on the inex plicable conduct of the Queen's Generals, and concluded with a formal and most unexpected denunciation of the secret societies, which be designated as the real cause of all the evils with which Spain is afflicted. Great interest, indes pendent of that excited by the secret sitting has been created by some unexpected occurrences at Cadiz. When the French squadron, consisting of six vessels of the line, under the orders of Admiral Hugon, appeared in sight of the port, the Governor, under pretext of the sanatory re gulations, refused to allow the ships to anchor near the port. He even opposed the landing of the crews, v i n l / 4 1 i 4 said to have ordered the French Adrftimi .. to — cst anchor at the distance of more th'an cannon-shot from the forts, and to take the station usually assigned to vessels perform ing quarantine, Without condescending to reply to this imperious injunction, the Admiral merely withdrew his squadron out of the reach of the guns, On the 20th, the day after this altercation, two of the French vessels sailed for Lisbon, and it is believed that the rest of the squa-; dron will soon follow. At the first moment the attitude of the French squadron after the provocation from the authorities, produced a strong sensation, and the possible immediate occupation of the port by the French naval force might have proved the signal for a re-action fertile in poli tical consequences. Couriers have been sent from Cadiz to the Government at Madrid, and the French Consul him self addressed despatches to the French Ambassador. Every thing, however, appears to have been sincQ. arranged." The illessa ger gives the following from Madrid :—" The Finance Committee of the Cortes, which acts in concert with M. Calatrava, but independent of M. Mendizabal, has sent a certain M. Oarzuri to London, with full powers to follow up the negotiation for a loan of fifty millions, opened by M. Mendizabal. This step is said to have been recom mended by Mr. Villiers, on account of the credit of M. Mendizabal having been lessened at London,in consequence of the ill-success of the mission of M. Durou. The English Ambassador has given M. Oarzun letters to Lord Pal merston and Lord Holland, requesting them to support the measures of M. Oarzun, because the produce of this loan he is authorized to contract, is specifically appropriated to the defence of the Queen's Government, and the funds will be paid into the hands of the Committee of Defence, ap pointed by the Cortes." The illessager adds that the greatest hopes were entertained at Madrid that M. Oar zun's mission would be successful. He passed through Paris on Sunday, travelling in all haste to London. BELGRIM. BRUSSELS, Nov. B.—This being the day fixed for the opening of the Session of the Chambers, his Majesty re paired in person to the Palace of the Nation, where he was received with the usual formalities, and having taken his place on the Throne, delivered the following speech " Gentlemen,—Your Session opens under happy auspices. " I continue on terms of friendship and good under standing with foreign powers. " My Government has been able to maintain our rights by defending with perseverance the position acquired by the country, and guaranteed by treaties. " The laws for the organization of the Communes Provinces, and that which regulates the higher branches of education, have been carried into effect. • " The election of municipal and provincial Counsellors has been regularly effected. We are persuaded that they will answer to the views of their constituents, and the just expectations of the country, by always manifesting in their labours that spirit of wisdom, prudence, and moderation, which becomes a people that can appreciate the institutions that it has given to itself. " The re-organisation of the State Universities, the free competition, and the impartial institution of the Jury of Examination, will contribute to extend among us more and more the domain of knowledge. " The project of law on the primary and intermediate schools, which is submitted to you, will complete one system of public education. Trade and manufactures are in a prosperous condition. " The constant object of the efforts of my Government is to connect our interests more closely with other nations, and thereby to give those important branches of public wealth a more free scope and new developments. " The law on the mines will give rise to a more extensive working of our coal mines. " We return thanks to Divine. Providence, for having fulfilled the wishes of the farmer by blessing the country with an abundant harvest. " The works of the iron railroad proceed with activity. The solicitude of my Government in this great enterprise coincides with the opinion of the public, who see in the execution of these works a new source of prosperity and national glory. " The emulation which has been excited in the province by the vote of the subsidy for ordinary roads will bear good fruit. " The improvement and extension of the inland navigation are objects of serious attention and assiduous care. " A project of law will be presented to you containing enactments calculated to secure the maintenance of the roads in the country, and to prevent encroachments. " My Government, in conformity with the intentions which you have snore than once manifested, has devoted its particular attention to the fine arts. Success has justified our expectations. The excellence which our artists have already attained gives us hopes of the return of the illus trious days of the old Flemish school. " Learning and science, encouraged with discernment, follow the improvement of the arts. " The Budgets for 1837 will be immediately laid before you. I have the satisfaction to announce to you that a considerable reduction of the floating debt will be proposed to you. Though the excise on sugar may be said no longer to afford a profit to the Treasury, the interest as it is will suffice for the wants of the State. " This result, gentlemen, attests the prosperity of our finances. You will not forget that the burden of the loan contracted for the continuation of the iron railroads and the extension of the ordinary roads, is already borne entire ly by the Treasury, which does not enjoy all the advan tages that the employment of this will produce in the sequel. This loan has been realized on advantageous terms. The mode of its emission has consolidated the national credit, by manifesting to Europe the resources and confidence which it enjoys. The collection of the taxes in general, and especially the land tax, which is now more equitably apportioned, is effected with the greatest regularity. " We have well-founded hopes that peace will not be interrupted ; yet prudence makes it our duty to remember, that the army of a neighbouring State is maintained on our frontiers in a menacing attitude. So long, therefore, as this state of things remains unchanged, we are obliged to keep up a military establishment which may secure the de fence of the country. " The annual assembling of the troops in camps greatly contributes to their instruction and discipline. We have, to our great satisfaction, convinced ourselves by recent ex perience of the happy result. " We arc persuaded that you Will readily vote the sums hat are judged to be necessary for this important part of :he service. " It is to be desired in the present Session the Chambers may be able to vote the laws relative to the military school and pensions. " The country, gentlemen, takes an interest in your la bours ; it has gratefully seen every useful result of them. " The Session now commencing calls your attention to important subjects. We have, I am certain, but one and the same thought, the same ambition, viz., the glory and prosperity of the country. To attain these objects you may depend on my constant efforts, as I depend on your frank and active co-operation." The Assembly adjourned to the following day. rsE IA; l AN k UNDS—BaussEcs, Nov. 8.

The French journals publish the following bulletin ex traordinary, addressed, on the 2d inst., to the Minister of War—a copy of which was received by General Evans : " Excellency,—After a siege which lasted six days, and which, during the last three, was more destructive than any ever vet recorded in the annals of history, the enemy aban doned their senseless attempt with as much opprobrium and disgrace to themselves as glory to this heroic town and its brave defenders. Two of our principal batteries had been dismantled after six hours' continual firing, and all the artil lery-men who had served the guns had been put hors de com bat, and were more or less severely wounded. Nevertheless the breach opened by the enemy's fire was defended through out the day by a small number of infantry, who, in spito of the losses sustained by their ranks from the Carlist batteries, never once thought ofseeking shelter, and manfully disputed every inch of ground. The enemy thinking it easy to storm the place, by means of the access presented by the walls in ruin, made a reconnoisance under the walls at eleven o'clock in the evening, arriving as far as the parapet, but the gar rison charged the assailants with unexampled intrepidity, and forced them to give way, and the enemy, falling back, left under the ramparts a number of men killed and wounded. Their losses in this attack amounted to two hundred men. This attempt, followed by several partial attacks, which were continued throughout the night, pre vented the batteries from being re-established with the re quisite solidity, and on the following day it was not only in' possible to discharge these batteries, but others we-: dby the the enemy's shot ; two more w e r e di sman " -led, anti so thus was opened an entire line of attack with . Jut and de- fended only by the infantry, which pr .essed upon guns, the ruined walls. During the night the enetr new attack, and on our side we pre'f made prep ara ti ons for a pared to defenthe place, but the attack was not mad - 4 The efforts of th e leaders them selves were unable to t-..sum. p ' h over the panic of the soldiers. Profiting during th'l, night by this momentary tranquillity, and by the cessatior, of hostilities, which was no doubt occasioned by the rat, that fell in torrents, we worked with redoubled activ;4 at the reparation of the works into which a breach ',,ad been made, and at the erection of new ones. On the fol lowing day all the batteries, established with the same soli dity as before the siege, opened upon those of the enemy so well-directed a fire, that at four o'clock in the evening the whole of the Carlist artillery was silenced. The severe ex perience gained by the enemy during these three days con vinced them of the impossibility of taking the place without annihilating the whole of its brave defenders. They ac cordingly decided upon withdrawing the whole of their ar tillery. Of this fact we were assured last night. The whole line of the batteries has been abandoned, and merely a few battalions of infantry occupy the same position as be fore. All the divisions of the army and the National Guards have done their duty admirably, and have vied with each other in zeal and courage, the brilliant and multiplied proofs of which I shall lay before your Excellency as soon as I am sufficiently at liberty to address a minute re port of them to you. 1 now merely inform your Ex cellency that I am proud of commanding such valiant troops, to whose heroic intrepidity in the midst of peril no language can do justice. Their conduct has been in every respect worthy of a signal testimony of the royal munificence. I should be wanting in my duty if, in spite of the short time at my disposal, I neglected to state to your Excellency the misfortunes of this town, which is so worthy of peculiar attention, both from its patriotism and its sufferings. For the se cond time, its inhabitants have given to the world an ad mirable proof of their patriotic enthusiasm, regardless of their lives, and solicitous only of preserving their honour. The damage occasioned by the former siege was consider able, but the losses sustained from the present have been far greater. The project of the Carlists was to gratify the thirst of private vengeance on Bilboa—a plan worthy of the men by whom it was entertained —worthy of the Bishop of Leon, Eguia, and the Marquis de Valdespina. The framers of the plan witnessed the sufferings to which the town was exposed, and yet collected around it all the ele ments of destruction. From the commencement to the termination of the siege the enemy directed 2,000 incen diary projectiles against the town, which, for three days, was exposed to this shower of fire, and thus completely ruined and disfigured. Not a single house has escaped without injury of some sort. Furniture, goods, the wealth accumulated by industry and trade, all have been destroyed or buried in a heap of ruins. The loss is estimated at se veral millions, and yet in the midst of the scene of devastation and mourning not a murmur or com plaint was heard. Men and women—in a word, the whole population —were occupied only with repulsing the enemy, and whilst their ruin was being completed, their only care was to furnish the defenders of the place with supplies and assistance. An observer might have availed himself of this opportunity of witnessing a repetition of the sublime traits which immortalized the heroic ages of Rome and Sparta. As I have already announced to your Excellency, I will shortly lay before you more ample details of the operations of the siege, as it would be unjust to deprive a number of honour able citizens of the praises and the recompenses which are their due. From this moment I may assure your Excel lency, that with Spaniards like those in the town of Bilboa, the cause of the Usurper will never triumph, nor will the the throne of her Majesty Isabella 11. and the liberties of the country be ever endangered.—God preserve you. (A true copy.) .‘ ARD 0 Z. " Bilboa, October 29." THE CARLIST ACCOUNT. (By an eye-witness in the Carlist camp.) HEIGHTS OF BILBOA, OCT. 24.—0 n the 19th inst. it was decided by Don Carlos and his Generals in Council to attack the town of Bilboa. Wishing to be a witness of the siege, I thought I should have some days to look about me by arriving here to-day ; but, to my astonishment, on my arrival I found that in the short space of five days the Car lists had assembled 22 battalions and 19 pieces of cannon, with all their stores and materials for a twelve-days siege. Since the last sieg e, which was undertaken by Zumalacar regui, all the heig hts (except one) around the town have been fortified ; this exception is.a height in the rear of the church of Begona. The church is in the possession of the Christinos,, who occupy it with 150 or 200 men, and who keep up a smart fire of musketry upon the Carlists, who are erecting a battery on this height. The fortifications of Bilbo• appear to me to lie nothing more than a line of' field works thrown up on the terraces around the town, with four small raveling thrown out, connected by Li weak wall and narrow ditch. Villareal, who commands the operations, made a reconnoissance this morning on both sides of the river, and afterwards placed his divisions en bivouac, so as completely to invest the town preparatory to laying siege to it. A division, under Castor, occupies the heights near Portugalette, to prevent any reinforcements arriving from that quarter. It was decided this morning not to lay regular siege to the town, but at once to make a breach and give the assault--for this purpose three batteries were com menced this morning. No. 1, placed on the height of Be gona, for one large mortar and two howitzers, to fire upon the different parts of the town, to intimidate the inhabitants. To the right of this battery is No. 2, to be armed with two 24-pounders and one field howitzer, to tire generally agains t the defences of the town. To the right of No. 2, near th e river and convent of St. Augustin, by the side of an aban doned house, at 150 or 200 yards from the town, is to b placed the breaching battery. During the day the Chrise tinos kept up a partial cannonade. OCT. 25.—The Carlists worked very hard at their bat teries last night, and early this morning No. 1, on the Be gona height, opened upon the town with one 13-inch mortar and two 8-inch howitzers. The Christinos kept up a heavy cannonade, as also a sharp fire of musketry, from the church on this battery. About the middle of the day the garrison discovered the Carlists' workmen employed in forming the breaching battery, upon which they opened a heavy fire of musketry from the town and convent of St. Augustin, the latter not more than 35 or 40 yards off. OCT. 26.—N0. 2 was armed last night with two 24- pounders and a field howitzer, as was also the breaching battery with one 36 and two 24-pounders ; both these bat teries opened their fire at daylight. The cannonade from the town was very strong during the early part of the day. The Christinos used their shells for the first time. At 10 a. m. Brigadier Coelho, a Portuguese officer of great merit, and who commanded the mortar battery, was killed. This officer was one of Don Miguel's best officers. About half an hour afterwards Juan Montcnegro.was wounded in the breaching-battery ; thus within one hour the Carlists lost two of their best artillery officers. At Ip. m. No. 2 had silenced four of the enemy's guns which were doing a good deal of injury to the breaching-battery. About this time the two howitzers in the mortar battery were obliged to cease firing for six hours for want of shells. On the whole, the enemy kept up a very heavy fire during the day, but in general their guns were badly directed, except towards the breaching-battery, where to show yourself for a moment above the parapet was certain death. Even from the ruins of the breach the Christinos kept up an incessant fire of musketry, much to their credit. At 3p.m. I visited all the batteries, and was happy to find that Nos. 1 .and 2 had had but few casualties, considering the heavy fire brought against them. At the breaching-battery I found that the officers had reported the breach practicable, and all the troops were calling out to be led to the assault. At p.m. five companies of the Algcrines, and 500 Spaniards of the 3d Regiment of Castile, were ordered for the as sault, in all not 700 men ; but having no engineer to show them the way, they mistook the point of attack, and gained a small ravelin partly destroyed to the left of the breach, when 12 or 14 men actually got into the town for a few minutes, but being unsupported, and the enemy being assembled in force on the terre-plein of the small rock, in a few minutes they advanced from thence and drove the assailants back. Thus the storming party returned into the lines without attempt ing to assault the breach. This attack having failed, no thing was done during the night by either party. Fifty rea- /A_,Fff +ll%\ .6; t:S sons may be given for this failure, but I wilt, cliff 1; 6,4 with giving one—viz., the force was not suffic t 4n:q; •s "7" heard of 700 men attacking a town having a „as , - eat o et 5,000 men ? Besides which, in reality, only 200 of the Algerines attacked the town, for the support of the Baron de los Vallos never came up. The loss of the Carlists the batteries this day are 6 dead and 16 wounded. OCT. 27.—The fire of the garrison has been unusually slack during the morning, and that of the Carlists still k e g, When their batteries do fire it is impossible to say w h a t object. I except the breaching-battery, which he, already been steady t o it s p ur p ose , a l t h oug h t h e greater part of the fire from the g arr i son h as b een directed agair:;t, i t . A finer or braver body of men is not to be met ';:ith in any part of Europe : if the garrison of Bilboa Vr.,re composed of such men the Carlist breaching - battery would not be in exist.. ence long. I have not yet seer the returns of the killed and wounded in the battle I.K s day ; but I have just seen the official returns of the killed and wounded in the assault of last night. Of officers there were, 2 dead and G wounded soldiers, 25 dead and 113 wou'xled. There is little or no movement on either side. ";:he officers appear to care very little about the siege. OCT. 28, Two o'ft Axel; P . M.—Nothing extraordinar The Chri s ti nos y OCT. 28, more than ever—the Carlists ' less. idle. 11,- -During last night the Christinos were not their ' .ey employed working parties, who repaired all • uamages, replaced the cannon which they had been ,oliged to withdraw during the previous day, and even out of defiance placed the field-pieces on the breach, with which they occasionally fired. The morning commenced with a heavy cannonade on their part, and, in fact, during the day, their fire has been brisker than at any time since the com mencement of the attack. The Carlists, finding that the fire from the town and convent of St. Augustin was so con stant and heavy all yesterday upon their breaching battery, thought it prudent to withdraw two of the pieces, and place them with another in a battery further back, which new battery was armed during the night with three twenty-four pounders, and opened in the morning, but has not fired for more than four hours during the day ; w hil st one solitary twenty-four pounder was left to continue the fire from the breaching battery ! In pointing this useless gun, at nine O'clock p.m., La Rochefoucauld was killed —two musket shots struck him at the same moment, one in his head, and the other in his body. This young officer had bravely commanded the breaching-battery from the day it opened, and had pointed almost every gun that was fired. He joined the Carlists at the commencement of the war, and in him they have lost an officer it will be difficult to re place. A more amiable, kind, generous, gentlemanlike young man did not exist. Since the commencement o f the siege the enemy have directed an incessant fire on this battery. Many good artilleryme n h ave b een l ost b y the musketry froth th e convent. The Carlist fire during the whole of this day has been languid. The weather has been extremely wet and unfavourable all the morning, beg about 4 p. in. it became finer, when the garrison made a small sortie, as if with the intention of spiking the guns in the nearest battery, but they did not get beyond some which are joined to the convent of St. Augustin, from whence they kept up a smart fire of musketry, which the Carlists returned for about five-and-twenty mirages, when the Chris tinos retired without having wounded a single person. At 5 p.m. the rain recommenced. The Commander-in-Chief sent the greater part of the troops to be cantoned in the nearest villages for the night. OCT. 29.—The Carlists withdrew all their artillery from the batteries during last night. The siege is therefore now converted into a blockade, the troops continuing to hold the same positions. The enemy's fire has been lively during the early part of the day. General 'Villareal has received information of the Movements of a Christine column coming to the relief of the town. Nothing would be more agree able to him ; lie will give a good account of them, if he can catch them in the mountains. During the last three days 61 deserters have presented themselves from different parts. The loss of the Carlists, up to to-day, in killed and wounded, has been 196. The troops are still round Bilboa. OCT. 31.—We have various reports that a second siege of Bilboa is intended, and I hope it may be true, for I am certain the Carlists can take the town in 14 hours. In looking back at the last week I can hardly believe it possible that we have been attacking Bilboa, and that it is not in our possession. At any hour during the 26th or 27th the breach was open, and the soldiers praying to be led to the as sault. Better troops I never saw. They seemed to feel a confidence in themselves, and every man felt certain of success. They were patient, civil, and gay under fire, and throughout the few days of siege gave strong proofs of possessing superior qualities, if properly directed ; but the Generals and supe rior officers were never near the men—they left the siege to take its chance—no orderr were given, no plans —no real attempt was made to take the place. It is difficult to reconcile the belief that they are the same men, and assisted by the same staff, who have shown so much knowledge and talent for the last three years. All that could be done by artillery was done by those serving in the breaching -battery but owing to the infantry not having been pushed forward, and established a musketry fire on the breach, the effect of three days' battering was - rendered nugatory by the enemy. No blame can be imputed to either officers or men, when their superiors are at a distance, sleeping and smoking their cigars .instead of giving their orders. The town might have been taken over and over again had they attempted it— they would have taken the town twenty times if com manded to - do so ; and had General Eguia been the Com mander-in-Chief, we should now have been in Bilboa. He would have brought the whole of his cannon to bear on one point, formed a breach, and entered with 5,000 men, the mo ment it was practicable. The accounts brought to-day of Espartero say that he is near Balmaceda with seventeen battalions, but I have reason to suppose that he is only manceuvrine• ° to amuse us, an d has no seri ous i n t en ti on o f advancing. General Castanoda has entered Portugalette with seven Christino battalions. Castor is in that neighbourhood. Villareal is still before Bilboa : he may now have a difficult part to play if Espar tero makes an advance, which I doubt. Nov. I.—The King arrived here last night from Ellorio, and shortly after the Commander-in-chief, Villa real, also arrived. The siege of Bilboa is to be continued ; the cannon are only withdrawn for a short time, until the movements of Espartero arc known, who is now some dis tance from Balmaceda. It is said that the King will go to the next attack of Bilboa. I hope so. with all my heart, and that he will take the command of the army for the siege, and appoint General Eguia the chief of his staff ; unless this General takes the command the town will not be taken. The Infants Sebastian visited the wounded every day during the siege, and gave to each soldier a dollar, and to each Officer two months' pay. HULL, LINCOLN, AND NOTTING- HAM RAILWAY.

W. Drury, &c. &c. On the part of the proposed Railway Company were present, Williams, Esq., of the firm of Messrs. Williams and Bethel], of Lin coln's-inn-fields, London, and H. R. Abrah am , E sq ., o f S t . James'-square. The MAYOR observed that as far as Lincoln was con cerned, the contemplated scheme must confer very impor tant advantages, as it would not only greatly increase the communication between Nottingham and Hull, of which Lincoln was the centre, but it would ultimately open a direct communication with Birmingham and other large towns, and thus give a spirit of enterprise to the native energies of this part of the country, which had never before been manifested.—(Cheers.) The meeting was addressed by Sir EDWARD FFRENCR BROMMEAD at very considerable length, who thought it his duty, upon learning that this railroad would pass threugh a portion of his own property to look further into the scheme, and he attended the meeting to ask questions respecting it, Mr. WILLIAMS answered these objections in a very Sa tisfactory manner, and remarked that the estimate for the whole line was not more than 800,0001; to some indi viduals, at first sight, this sum might appear a large demand ; but when it was considered that the line would pass over seventy-nine miles of country, and when the average of other lines was considered, the reasonable ness of this would be seen. The sum was proposed to be raised in shares of .50/. each, and that on those shares there should be a deposit of 21. per share. Mr. ABRAHAM, the engineer, answered the questions put to him, and pointed out the natural advantages of this county, both in a geological and sur?erficial structure, affording not only valuable metal suite., to the work through the whole course of the line, but alse presenting an available natural level, concluded by expressing his confidence, twat the whole work might be most economically completed, and fully realize the best anticipations of the projectors. The meeting was addressed also by Mr. Handley, the Hon. C. A. Pelham, Benjamin Thorold, Esq., and George Skipworth. Esq. Sir EDWARD FF. BROMHEAD then moved the following Resolutions :--That the replies this day made to all ques tions relative to the Hull, Lincoln, and Nottingham Rail way have been satisfactory to this meeting, and that the line offers every prospect of profit and adv.ugage. A Local Committee was then formed, when the thanks. of the meeting were voted to Mr. Pelham and Mr. Handley, for their attendance, and to the Mayor for presiding, who severally returned thanks, and the meeting broke up.
