This evasion is, however, said to be neutralized by the great numbers of Spaniards who take advantage of the opportunity, and join the Constitutionalists. Hamburg Papers to the 22d inst. have been received this afternoon. Great preparations are making at Berlin for the autumnal reviews, at which 50,000 men are to give, among other ma nceuvres, a representation of one of the greatest battles of the last campaign. They may, per haps, before next year have to rehearse the bat tle in earnest. The accounts from Poland in these papers continue to be as afflicting as ever.

(From the Maine, Aug. 7.) It is thought that the whole of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg will be occupied by troops of the Confedera tion (probably Prussian) in consequence of the resolutions of the London Conference, and it is probable these troops may soon march to their destination.

The discussion of the Bill was necessarily at tended with much calculated to hurt some of our best feelings; but we hope and believe that its practical working will falsify the predictions of the gentlemen who opposed it.

Four vessels of 16 guns each at least will be ready to join him from hence next week. Don Miguel's squadron has not been seen since the 16th. Don Pedro is making the greatest exertions to put this city in a state of defence. He is gone over the bar to day to visit Captain Sir Thomas Towbridge of the Stag, and have some conversation with Admiral Sartorius. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE 0' CL 0 CK. As we stated in our city article the day before yesterday, that the squadron of Don Miguel, on the Admiral perceiving reinforcements coming to Sartorius, would sheer off again for Lisbon, this is confirmed this morning, both by accounts from Lisbon and Oporto, brought by the Lisbon mail. There is also information from Oporto of the 19th inst. statin g that Don Pedro went nut of Oporto and crossed the Bar, to have c ommunication with our commander off that station, as well as with Admiral Sartorius. It does not appear that any operations of importance had taken place by land up to the 20th. The communication with Oporto now being open, it is expected that Don Pedro's army will obtain plenty of supplies.

DUBLIN, AUG. 22.—Mr. O'CONNELL S suggestion respecting the formation of election clubs is every where working its effects. A few minutes since a inflCommittee of some of the most active, respectable, and uential amongst the Liberala of this city was formed at Ilotatas's Royal Hotel, to take immediate steps to secure the correct registry of every voter's qualifications through out the m etropolis. On its report a general election club is to be forthwith formed, and parochial clubs organized to act in detail. The greatest anxiety has been displayed by all parties to effect a correct registry, since it has been clearly understood that every voter in Ireland (with the e Xception of those attached to Trinity College) at present stands disfranchised. The Suabian Mercury has the following : On July 29, at night, Professor HARDING, of Gottin ten, discovered a new comet in the head of the Serpent, Which is different from any of those whose appearance is announced for this year. It is without a train, and its light is feeble, but its nucleus is more brilliant. Its direc tion appears to be towards the south-east. At 54 minutes Past 10 its right ascension was 235 deg. 52 min. 33 sec. and its northern declination 14 deg. 10 min. 24 sec.

MANSION-HOUSE-(THIS DAYS) Mr. Alderman COPELAND sat for the LORD MAYOR to-day. A knight of the shopboard was charged by a boy named Newcomb, a porter at the Spread Eagle, Gracecliurch street, with violently assaulting him near the Mansion house yesterday. From the statement of the boy it appear • ed, that the tailor being a little the worse for liquor, and not being able to see what was before him, ran against him ; this the boy resented by shoving the tailor off the pave ment, who being determined not to bear such mal treat ment with impunity, knocked the boy down, and for the purpose of stretching his legs which had long been cramped on the shopboaid, fell to and kicked him most shamefully. The tailor said the complain an t was t h e fi rst aggressor. Mr. Alderman COPELAND said the assault was a most gross and sbameful one, and ordered the tailor to find b,il, unless he could compromise the matter with the boy, which Le failed to do. A woman named Bennett was charged by the city po. lice, No. 60, with being drunk in the Minories at an early hour yesterday, and with having in her possession between eight and nine pounds, of which she could not give a sa• tisfactory account. The prisoner, on being called upon by the Alderman to account for the possession of the money, entered into a long, rambling, and improbable statement of having re ceived it from a person named Aggesson, the mate of the Mary Anne, North Shields, in part payment of a sum of 23L due to her from him. That she had met Aggesson at Temple Bar, not having seen him for many years, and that be then gave her ten pounds. Mr. Alderman COPELAND thought the story a very im probable one, and ordered the case to be remanded until Wednesday, to give Bennett time to bring Aggesson forward, directing the officer to keep the money in the meantime. Edward Warren was fully committed to Newgate, charged with defrauding J. L. Scordet and Co., of St. Helen's-place, of several sample boxes of indigo, of the value of 21. and upwards. The prisoner was in the employ of the prosecutors, and had been directed by them to take the indigo to the St. Katherine Docks, at which place it never arrived, the prisoner stating that he lost it in the Alinories. MALBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.. William Palmer was charged with robbing his em ployer. Mr. Ralph Phillips stated that the prisoner had been employed during the last three weeks as groom and porter to his father, who was a glass and lamp manufacturer, No. 190, Regent. street, and that during that time a great many articles had been missed from the different warehouse rooms on the premises. Last night he hail some conversation with the prisoner upon the subject, and from what then passed, he gave him into custody, and had him lodged in the station-hous e . He afterwards, in company with Thomas Farrant, a police constable, went to the prisoner's lodgings No. 17, Newnham-street, Edgeware-road, and in various trunks and drawers he found a great variety Of his father's property, consisting of bronze and figure lamps, gloss jugs, decanter stoppers, cruets, tumblers, 14c. Thomas Farrant, police-constable, produced the pr o _ perty found at the prisoner's lodgings, and also a numbe r of pawnbroker's tickets for other property pawned at several shops. This mornin g th e p r i soner as k e d h im if he was to be prosecuted, and on being told he was, he said he was sorry for it, and that he stole the property through distress. The prisoner who again said it was distress that drove him to the commission of that offence, was then fully com mitted for trial. CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT.

EARL GREY STEAM-BOAT.—Between one and two o'clock on Monday morning, while the steamer Earl Grey was riding at anchor in Brodwick Bay, she was discovered to be on fire. The fire had got so complete a hold of h er , and was so impetuous in i ts ramifications, that every effort on the part of the crew to arrest its pro gress was wh o ll y unavailing ; and, to prevent the vessel being t o t a ll y consumed, sunk her in between six and seven fathoms water. There were no lives lost. It is sup posed the fire originated somewhere about the boiler. The captain and crew arrived in the evening at Glasgow...- Gig/ow Courier. PUBLIC MEETING AT MANCHESTER, ON BEHALF OF OPPRESSED POLAND. On Wednesday a public meeting was held in the Town Hall, to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning his Majesty, to exert his influence with the Russian Government, on behalf of op pressed Poland; and to require the fulfilment of the treaties by which a national existence and constitu tion were guaranteed to them. In the absence of the Boroughreeve, W. HAYNES, Esq. was called to the chair. MARK PHILIPS, Esq. (one of the candidates for the representation of Manchester), in moring the first resolution, really felt himself incapable to ex presQ, in language so strong as he desired, the sym pathy he felt for an ill-used, noble, and enlightened people—vanquished and almost exterminated in contending for their own liberties—in the cause of European liberty —in the cause of liberty all over , he world. Nor could he find language strong enough to express his indignation at seeing the shameful transgressions of Russia, and her breach of all faith in the non-fulfilment of the treaty of Vienna, by which national i nst i tut i ons were ' gua ranteed to Poland. It behoved us to take care that this important covenant were fully carried into effect. It was our duty no less than our interest, if we wished to see a stop put to the encroach ments of Russia, manfully and openly to express our sentiments on her flagitious conduct.—( Cheers.) He regretted exceedingly that a gallant and noble exile was riot present, for he could have drawn a picture of the wrongs of Poland that would have filled you with grief and indignation. He would have told you of the best and bravest of the country being degraded to the ranks in the Russian army, or expatriated to serve in far distant countries. He would have told you of brave men and delicate women and children, sent on foot into Siberia to labour in the mines, and endue perpetual bondage— of children torn from their parents, and husbands from their wives, and all the bonds of relationship and friendship broken by a Government unequalled in its atrocious tyranny since the days of Nero.— (Loud cheers.) He (Mr. Philips) could net, as a free Briton, look at these atrocities without feeling his blood curdle; but he knew not how they could better express their sympathies with the oppressed Poles than by calmly, but with a determined aspect, stating their feelings and views. Could they forget that throughout the continent of Europe the same feelings prevailed, and that every where the example of England was looked to, to give energy to the re sistance which was ready to be offered to the am bitious views of the despot ? Could they believe that the present attempt to overthrow liberty in Germany was not the result of the dismemberment and overthrow of Poland ? It behoved them, then, as a part of the defence of their own liberties, de terminedly to protest against Russian aggression. He knew well the evil effects of war, but no effort ought to be left untried, by representation or re monstrance, to compel Russia, Austria, and Prussia, to the fulfilment of their treaties with Poland.— (Cheers.) Let us respectfully, but in terms not to be misunderstood, call upon the King to make this remonstrance. The abettors of the dismemberment of Poland meditate further aggressions; but the eyes of Europe are upon England.—(Loud cheering.) Mr. Philips concluded by reading the first resolution. RICHARD POTTER, Esq., (one of the candidates for the representation of Wigan,) in seconding the resolution, said, had Bonaparte not been too ambi tious, and aimed at universal empire, what a glo rious and unperishable fame he might have acquired by restoring Poland to her former limits and great ness I—(Hear.) This great man had the three Powers prostrate before him, and it was in his power to compel them to reinstate Poland. He availed himself of the assistance of the brave Poles; and those of us who remember the narratives of Napoleon's victories, cannot have forgotten the eulogy he always bestowed on the Polish lancers. But, instead of restoring Poland, Bonaparte con tented himself with establishing what he called the Grand Duchy of Warsaw. The fall of the Emperor left the inhabitants of the Duchy at the mercy of the Emperor Alexander. By the treaty of Vienna, however, in 1815, he promised, by the sanctity of an oath, to give free institutions and protection to the Poles, which he never fulfilled, but placed his savage and brutal brother Constantine over them. This wretch gave full scope to his ferocious dispo sition, and by a series of insults drove them to re volt against the power of Russia. An instance of Constantine's cruelty was detailed in Saturday's Times, but bad as that was, deeds more horrid were committed by this monster in human shape, who, not satisfied with the ordinary means of execution, put the venerable Principal of a University to death with his own hands, merely because it was said that the scholars had imbibed liberal opinions.—( Shame.) He could not trust himself further with a detail of such atrocities, but would conclude with cordially seconding the motion. Mr. WHITTLE, though he entirely concurred in all that had been said as to the sufferings of Poland, should have an amendment on the resolution to propose. Much as he felt for a brave people at the mercy of a despot, he was not disposed to concur in resolutions which, from the speech of Mr. Mark Philips, he concluded were drawn up on the suppo sition that we were in a condition to go to war, for he felt that it was impossible to go to war to support the Poles. It was not without shame—it was not without feeling degraded, that he felt obliged to say so; but believing that we were not prepared to enter into a war, he would not be a party to remonstrances which would only deceive the Polish nation, and give rise to the vain hope that we could serve them.—(Cheers.) On that ground he was opposed to the motion; and he was opposed to it also on the ground, that to make these remonstrances was to acknowledge that we were not prepared to do anything more effectual. Mr. Whit tle concluded by moving an amendment, to the ef fect that this conutry was not in a condition to go to war. Mr. NIGHTINGALE rose to second the amend ment, and said, he sympathized as deeply as any one could do in the cause of Poland and the Poles. But he, as well as others, was taught by Holy Writ to love their neighbours as themselves, and he thought they were riot acting up to that precept when they were travelling hundreds of miles in the search of objects of charity, whilst millions of their own countrymen were perishing.—(Cheers.) 'Was it not true that acts as tyrannical as ever these were, of which they were complaining, had been com mitted in this country ?—(" Yes" and " No.") To those who cried out " No," he would bring facts in contradiction of them. Were those who called out " No," aware that there was a statute in exis tence, by which if an Irishman were found out of his house before sunrise or after sunset, he might be taken before a Magistrate and immediately trans ported ?—(Shame.) Were they not aware that our unhappy brethren in the South, when they rose to defend themselves from starvation, were taken up, tried, imprisoned, transported,aye (and shame upon it) hung, for trying to prevent themselves from be ing starved ?—(Cheers.) Were acts like these ever exceeded in Poland ? Did gentlemen ever know the Whigs to call any meeting which had for its object the benefit of the working classes?— (Chair —question.) Did they ever know them pe tition the Legislature for the repeal of the odious Act of which he had spoken ? Did they ever know them interfere on behalf of the poor men who were imprisoned and transported a few months ago ? No ; the poor man had nothing in common with the Whigs. Their placard calling the present meeting, spoke of the bankers, merchants, tradesmen, and others, but said nothing about the poor man. Oh no, the poor man had no sympathy with those of high blood—they could only sympathize with the brute, and had no sympathy towards the unhappy people of Poland.—(Loud cheers, and cries of or der.) He was not one of those who were to be misled by Whi g pro f ess i ons — t h e very name o f . Whiz was enough to blast the character of the meeting. [Mr. Potter here rose to order ; the meeting was not called to listen to this most unmeasured abuse upon any party of men.] The CHAIRMAN requested that Mr. Nightingale would confine himself to the object for which they were met; and Mr. NIGHTINGALE concluded by seconding the amendment. Mr. PRENTICE, editor of the Manchester Times, Laid—the amendment proposed was just such a one as they might have expected to have been proposed by a boroughmonger or a fundholder. Had we not, (luring the long reign of George the Third, and that of the gentleman, his son, lately deceased, been con ,tantly employed in crusading against the liberties of Europe ? Had we not expended hundreds of mil lions, and incurred a debt which was now hanging about us like a millstone, for the purpose of putting down freedom ? And are we never to lift our voice favour of freedom abroad, because we suffer from the pressure of that debt at home? Is it to be sup posed that the Manchester massacre would ever have occurred, except under a Government which knew it would be supported by despots abroad ? What gave the power to our Government to act oppressively, except the certainty that they possessed the sympathy of the continental despots.—(Cheers.) And having now spent hundreds of millions in the cause of despotism, —now, when they wished to do away with some portion of the foul stain, were ihey to be told that they were not in a condition even to remonstrate without being laughed at ? (Cheers.) They had been told of remonstrances having been made. Who had they been made by ? By Ministers, who never wished that they should take effect. Let them not remonstrate to Russia in the mariner of the smooth-tongued Castlereagh : " Oh ! don't do it—its not right. Don't oppress the Poles—you really ought not to do so—pray don't do so," Let them remonstrate boldly, and it would be seen that there would. be a great difference between remonstrances despatched by the people of England, and the languid representations of a mi• nister who loved despotism too much, to be bold and honest in denouncing it.—(Hear, hear.) There was no need of going to war. There needed but a hearty honest remonstrance from the people; mi nisters had but to say, " The people will have it so," and the object was achieved.—(Loud cheers.) At all events, let not the destruction of Poland be effected by British money. A subsequent resolu tion to be proposed to them, prayed that the money due to Russia on account of the Russian Dutch loan, should be withheld until justice was done to Poland.—(Cheers.) If our remonstrances fail, at least let us withhold our money. But our remon strances would not fail, if England and France lifted up their voices. Italy, Germany, and Poland would again rise, and would again fight the battles of their countries against the despots of Europe.— (Cheers.) He repeated, that the amendment was just such a one as might have been pro posed by a boroughmonger or a fundholder. The boroughmonger would say, " Oh don't borrow ano ther farthing to go to war; spend as much as you like in pensions and sinecures, but for Heaven's sake don't go to war; for if you do, down comes the public securities, and I shall lose my money." Suppose that the Russian Government should not attend to our remonstrance, had we not numerous ships doing nothing ? What were our navy and standing army about ? Were we not paying large sums for the repairing and maintaining large naval armaments ? Were we not employing two Admi rals to every ship of the line? And what differ ence could it make to us, except the expenditure of a little powder, if these ships were sent to scour the Baltic, instead of remaining idle in dock.—(Hear.) The expense would not be great to blow the castle of Cronstadt about the Russian despot's ears.— (Cheers.) In one month, be would venture to say, our navy should have swept away every Russian merchant vessel from every sea upon the face of the globe.—(Cheers.) Let but a fleet be sent to the Baltic, to close up the Russian ports, and what would the Emperor of Russia be then ? A Calmuc, surrounded by a few barbarian tribes. (Cheers.) A savage with no more power upon the sea, when opposed by England and France, than the Emperor of China had.—(Cheers.) The battle of the Poles was our own battle.—(Hear.) It was our own fight.—(Hear, hear.) We were fighting abroad upon the same principle as we were fighting against the boroughmongers at home. Poland was only one of our outposts. The meeting was subsequently addressed by Mr. POTTER, Mr. OATES, Mr. BAXTER, arid Mr. HAD FIELD; and the amendment, being put, was rejected by a majority of two to one. The original resolu ion was then put, and carried almost unanimously, only about 20 hands being held up against it. The subsequent resolutions, one of them most ably sup ported by Mr. TEALDI, an Italian refugee, were all carried unanimously, arid with great enthusiasm. The petition to the King to interfere in behalf of the Poles received a great number of signatures at the close oftl►e meeting. Considerable alteration has been made in the assessed taxes, many individuals in this city having been raised 60 and 100 per cent. The Tories are in high glee, ,nd point to it as the effects of a Reforming Administra tion. The consequences will no doubt be seriously felt ; but then it ought to be recollected it was from Tory tiegh ct the houses were not charged to their proper value. —Kentish Chronicle. The gentlemen of the long robe expect to reap an abundant harvest from the litigation which is likely to arise in consequence of the complicated and imperfect machinery of the Reform Act. It will be seen by the following paragraph from the Edinburgh Advertiser, that " the game is already afoot :"—" 'When the legal period for the registration closed, at 12 o'clock last night (Monday), the number of claims lodged amounted to 6,664. As soon as the clock had struck, a protest was served on the city clerks, by a notary, on the part of two of the candi dates (the Loan ADVOCATE and Mr. ABERCROMIW), at tended by about 40 gentlemen, asserting that the number registered was 6,678, according to the list of the com mittee of those gentlemen. The object of this protest we do not understand; but though the difference in the num bers is small, we presume some serious objection to the registration is contemplated." It is worthy of notice, that the number registered for Edinburgh exceeds by at least 2,000 the number of electors in the whole of Scotland under the old system. A respite was yesterday sent, by the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for DENNIS COLLINS, condemned to death for the attack upon his MAJESTY. We have the best reason to believe that this act of mercy was done at the express desire of the KING. The number of sheep penned at Britford fair on Monday last was about 10,000 less than last year. The prices may be quoted the same as those obtained at the recent Weyhill lamb fair. Ewes from 235. to 335.; lambs 15s. to 255. ; weathers 255. up to 40s. ; sales rather heavy, except for ewes. 3 COUNTERFEIT COIN.—A correspondentin forms us that during the present month upwards of 100 persons of both sexes have been charged, at the Metropo litan Police-offices, with uttering and dealing in counter. feit coin. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AUG. 22. —To-day's cotton sales are estimated at 1,200 bales, and consist of 300 Brazils and Egyptians, the former in Cearas at Sid., Maranhams at 811., and Bahias 7id. to Sid. ; the latter at Sid. ; and about 900 in American descrip tions from 6id. to 7- 4 1-d. The wheat crops in this neighbourhood are nearly all got in, and their abundance exceeds the most sanguine expectations. Mr. CULVERWELL, an extensive farmer of Chardstock, has reaped a field of wheat which produced more than 40 bushels to the acre ! and Mr. BEVIs, a farmer of this town, has lately cut a crop from a piece of ground which has not been known to bear so plentifully for thirty years past.—Sherbourn Journal. i a c u n other tom_ SACRILEGE.—On S a t u rday night last, some sacrilegious miscreants eff e ct e d an entrance into Castle aHryticicleeCs, leaving burcli ,an e d vid st e o n le f mitted.
