f persons well calculated to judge of these subjects, and I e was informed that the expence of the future elections would be from 5001. to 1,0001. each. The House recolc lected a Noble Lord (Ashley) stating in that House, that after going to a great expence in getting returned for Dorsetahire, his fortune would not permit him to defend his seat ; when they compared the 15 days polling for that Noble Lord at an expence of, as he understood, 35,000/. or an election a few years ago in Yorkshire at a cost of 300,0001., with the very small expense of future elections, which be had named, they would perceive that great advantage would be derived by the candidates. As to the expense of dinners, it certainly had been the practice for candidates to give such entertainments to their consti tuents ; but he and other Reformers were invited to dine at the expense of the electors.—(Laughter.) Upon his being elected for Devonshire, he received that honour, and he thought it a great improvement--(Laughter)—for it Wal a saving of 5001. or 6001. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET said, perhaps the Noble Lord would introduce a clause in the Bill to that effect.—(Laughter. ) Mr. CROKER observed that that clause would be al most the only one that would be allowed to pass without opposition. Mr. CROKER 'could not see how expences by the provisions of this clause could be in any way diminished. Supposing the Registration to he completely effective, the great contest would be at the time of the registration, perpetual scrutiny would be thereby occasioned, and every one knew the enormous expellees which that would occa sion. He highly approved .i❑ principle, of the Registration part of the Bill ; but it was so burdened by other ma chinery, that it would necessarily annihilate all its good, and greatly multiply expence. Lord MILTON said, that by taking polls in districts, and by the other provisions of the clause, the heaviest item of expences at county elections would undoubtedly be saved, particularly in the conveyance and maintenance of votes in the county-town. After a few observations from Sir R. VYVAN and Col. WOOD, Colonel SIBTHORPE declared his conviction, that the clause was a piece of absurdity and a delusion:from the be ginning to the end. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET was of opinion, that where it should be deemed necessary, the Sheriff should be nvested with the power of postponing the day of polling for two days more, than already provided for by the clause, for the period in the clause was too short. Mr. HUNT said he was against the system of canvass ing altogether, and also against bringing up the voters like driving so many pigs to market—(Laughter and hear) that system was beneficial only to attornies who charged their five guineas a day, and who of themselves (particu larly in Sormetsetshire) could almost at any time return the Members for the county. The blanks having been filled up in the clause, it was put and agreed to. Clause 62 was then proposed. Some little impaatience was manifested by many Mem bers crying " Adjourn, and go on," just as Mr. EST COURT rose. At length that Hon. Member stated that he intended to propose an amendment to this clause, not that his amendment would interfere with the principle of the clause itself, but only with the machinery of it. He Would put the House in possession of the main features of the amendment. In the present clause the Justices of the Peace were required to select the places where the poll booths were to be erected. Now he objected to putting such duty on gentlemen, which should not be required of them. lie, thought it was of the utmost importance to keep that tribunal as distinct as possible, and for that reason it was that he was extremely anxious to relieve them from fixing upon the places where the polls were to be taken. The remedy lie proposed for that was, as the N oble Lord meant to introduce a Bill for the purpose of fixing the division of counties and the boundaries of boroughs, that in that Bill a clause should be introduced specifying the place where the poll was to be held. There Were numbers of persons who had been employed by the Noble Lord, who were bound, and he ha , l no doubt, would with great pleasure state the most conve nient place fur the holding of the poll. There would be ether advantages attending it—Honourable Members Would see at the latter part of this clause an arrangement was made for the purpose of forming lists, all of which would be productive of great trouble and expense ; for it was not to be expected that the Clerk of the Peace would take that duty upon himself without some remu neration, all of which would go to increase the expenses of the election. If the place was fixed upon by Act of Parliament, that expense would be done away with. The Hon. Member in conlusion, proposed as an amendment that in all elections for a Knight of the Shire a convenient place should be pointed out by the Act for taking the poll, and that no person should have to go more than fifteen miles—that the places for taking the poll should be settled and appointed in an Act to be passed in the present session of Parliament, entitled an Act for the division of counties. Lord JOHN RUSSELL concurred entirely with the spirit of the amendment proposed by the Hon. Member opposite, and if he had no object lin to let the clause stand over till the Committee sit again, he would have the clause drawn up, agreeable to the Hon. Member's wishes. Mr. ESTCOURT consented to the adoption of that course, and the clause was then ordered to stand over in order to insert the amendment. After a few observations from Mr. GovnatiaN, con curring in the propriety of the amendment, The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and asked leave to lit again. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twenty Minutes before Six o'clock. THE VENET!ANIOLIGARCHY IN 1432. The senate of Venice, which made it a rule never to defend-the republic but by foreign arms - -never to enlist its citizens under its banners eithe r as Generals or soldiers,—further observed that of governing with extreme rigour those foreign adventurers of whom its armies were composed., and of believing in the virtue of Men who trafficked in their own blood. The Venetians distrusted them : they supposed them ever disposed to treachery ; and if they were un fortunate, though only from imprudence, they rendered them responsible. The condottieri Were made fully to understand that they were not to lose the armies of the republic without an swering for the event with their lives. The senate Joined to this rigour the perfidy and mystery which characterise an aristocracy. Having de cided on punishing Carmagnola for the late dis asters, it began by deceiving him. He was loaded with marks of deference and confidence : he was invited to come to Venice in the month of 111 April, 1432, to fix with the signoria the plan of the ensuing campaign. The most distinguished senators went to meet him,and conduct him in pomp to the Palace of the Doge. Carmagnola, intro duced into the senate, was placed in the chair of honour : he vas pressed to speak, and his dis course applauded. The day began to close ; lights were not yet called for, and the General could no longer distinguish the faces of those who surrounded him ; when suddenly the sbirri, or soldiers of police, threw themselves on him, load e d him with chains, and dragged him to the priso n of the Palace. He was next day put to the torture, rendered still more painful by the wounds which he had received in the service of this ungrateful republic. Both the accusations made against hint, and his answers he made to the questions, are buried in the profound secrecy with which the Venetian senate covered all its a r _, e ts• On th e s t h d ay o f M ay , 1432, F rance s co Car magnola, twenty days after his arrest, was led t oll! ...... ) his mouth gagged, to prevent any protes tation of innocence, and placed between the two the ' r ians on the square of St. Mark : he was e beheaded, amidst a trembling people, whom b,,'e.senate of Venice was resolved to govern only ,„-Y terro r , _.Dr. Cabinet Cyclopadia, x • 4 e • XVI.

DIED.—On Sunday, at Wiverton Hall, near Bingham, aged 46, MARY, wife of JOHN MUSTERS, Esq. of Colwick, and Annesley Halls; Mrs. MUSTERS is the lady to whom Lord BYRON'S early poems are addressed, and to whom he was so passionately attached ; she pre ferred, however, Mr. MUSTERS to the lame bashful boy Lord, and on their marriage, he took her maiden name, that of CtrAwowro, of which ancient Nottinghamshire house she was sole heiress. On the death of the late Mr. MusTEns, they resumed that name, and the name of CHA WORTH ceased in the county. O❑ the occasion of the sack ing of Colwick Hall by the rioters in October last, Mr,:. MUSTERS was at home, and took refuge in the shrubbery ; since that period she bas never recovered her health.__ Nottingham Review. Our city still continues free of cholera—for it is doubtful whether the death at Bonnington was not the consequence of sheer intemperance—and we begin now to indulge the hope that we may altogether escape its visitation. In India, the movements of the disease are extremely capricious. Often it passes one populous town entirely, and falls upon others in its neighbourhood. On the continent of Europe too, its progress was irregu lar ; and in this country, we have seen Berwick and Dunbar remain untouched, though right on its line of march. A well informed medical gentleman told us the other day, that he thought the probabilities were greatly in favour of this town escaping. The terrible hurricanes with which we have been visited within these few days, must have operated in our favour. The mortality is still great at Masse!burgh, though it is abating. At Tranent and Prestonpans the new cases are still numerous.— Scotsman. HONEST JOHN LAWLESS.—We congratu. late this veteran patriot on the glorious triumph he has gained over his enemies. Let those, and we hope they are few, who ever fell into the current insidiously set in against him, read the verdict of the eight gentlemen se lected to decide upon the charges brought against him, which verdict appears in our present number, and they must condemn and deplore the motives in which such charges originated. With Mr. LAWLESS we have been fellow-labourers for the last twenty years in the cause of Ireland and liberty, and it is but an offering of justice on our part to the historian of our country, as well as to " the Irishman," who, with a spirit peculiar to the ge nuine warmth of his heart, fanned the flame of liberty then expiring in the north into a generous glow : it is, we say, „ but due to h ones t Jose LAWLESS to avow, th a t, i n the wide range of his literary pursuits, his every thought and word were devoted to better the condition of his country. In this the natural ardour of his mind may be sometimes rather sanguine, but were he the vacillating politician, ready at a nod to compromise his conscience and his country, the charges he has so nobly repelled would never have been thought of. The attempt to blight his fame has had, however, a chemical effect upon the quality of the ore it was meant to alloy. " Envy will merit, as its shade pursue, But, like the shadow , prove the substance true." 'Limerick Eveninß iost. A REGULAR YANKEE STORY I—ln the year ----- the ship --------, of , was o❑ the coast of Japan, after the sperm whales ; she bad been unusually successful, and was nearly full, when one day, two of her boats being out, the headmost one struck a very large fe male whale, which, having at the time a young one in company, was unusually fierce ; upon being wounded, be fore they could " stern all," she raised her tail, and, with a tremendous blow, stove the bo.it in pieces, killing and wounding every one on hoard but one sailor, who, on finding himself in the element, seized upon a❑ oar for his support, until he could be picked up by another boat. The whale had no• done all the injury she intended, for, upon looking round and spying J irk upon his frail support, she made towards him with open jaws, and—swallowed him, oar and all ! For a few moments, Jack was utterly con founded, but, having recovered, began to think how he should extricate himself from his unpleasant situation. The entrance to the abyss looked too well defended by a row of teeth, for him to make his /exit that way, while the monster was in her element ; and not having JONAH'S journal, that he might do as his predecessor had done he tore him, he well nigh gave up to despair; but " nil de speranclntn" is Jack's motto. He, at last, bethought him self of the only remedy which was in his power, and taking out his jack knife, he cut a hole near the tail of the mon ster, and putting Isis oar through, happily sculled her ashore! After she was dead, he made his way through the same aperture by which he entered, was picked up by another vessel homeward bound, and was on the wharf to meet his old shipmates on their return, and received Isis ' share of the oil.—American Paper. LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1832 In the House of Commons, last night, a brief but animated conversaeon took place on the subject of the Manchester massacre in 1819. Lord ALTIIORP observed he had always been of opinion that a rigid inquiry should have been entered into on the subject of these atrocities ; but that now, from the lapse of time, and the difficulty there would be in collecting evidence, he feared inquiry would be of no avail. Mr. J. WOOD was of a different opinion ; so also were Messrs. HU:►tE and HUNT, who both thought that even now, distant as was the period since the massacre in question took place, a strict investi gation ought to be entered into. A spirited discus sion then ensued on the presentation of a petition by Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, from certain freeholders and others of Hertfordshire, complaining that their signatures had been fraudulently obtained to an Anti-Reform Address lately presented to his MAJESTY by two Noble Lords. This discussion was the means of eliciting some remarks on the creation of Peers by Mr. O'CONNELL which were marked by that Hon. Gentleman's usual spirit and sagacity, and are well worthy of atten tion. A creation of Peers—or even the formal, official promise of a creation, sufficient to enable Ministers to carry the Bill through the Lords—is what the country is now most anxiously and fever ishly expecting. An official announcement of this sort would at once act as a sedative to the feelings of the people, who, it is not to be concealed, are just now, if not absolutely distrustful, at least apprehensive and desponding. Commerce languishes, because many of our leading capitalists and manufacturers conceive that the existing state of the political world is uncertain and ominous, and consequently that speculations are not to be entered into with safety. A prompt creation of Peers would have the effect of putting an end to this uneasy feeling. Ministers, therefore, will act wisely in taking the subject into earnest and immediate consi deration. Thus only can the apprehensions of the people be set at rest. The House afterwards resolved itself into Com mittee on the Reform Bill, and made very praise worthy progress. The addition of to-day to the debates, will, we trust, bring tip the arrears of the week. It is rumoured that the evidence which has hi therto been given before the Irish Tithe Committee, is of a tendency directly contradictory to Lord GREY'S somewhat premature declaration in respect of the stability of the tithe property in Ireland. That declaration, however, has been construed by those who are well qualified to interpret it, as less favourable to the tithe system than some of our contemporaries seem to suppose—the Ministerial version being that Lord GREY will uphold the tithes as long as their enforcement is maintainable by law, and will not countenance any violent resistance to them, so long as they are a legal demand ; but, by no means, that his Lordship seeks to influence the recommendation of the Tithe Committee,or to oppose any measure that may be suggested by such Com mittee for the satisfactory adjustment of the ques tion. We so far agree with Lord GREY, that whilst we abhor the injustice of the present system, we de precate all forcible attempts to deprive the Protestant clergy of their dues, so long as they are legal, and no longer. The probability is, that the period of their legality will be of very short duration. To the British Parliament, the main argument against the tithes, is the impossibility of their col lection, just as the Catholic Association was the power that extorted the accordance of the Catholic claims. We should be better pleased to see the question placed on the basis of justice or in justice, and to have it determined upon the issue whether or not the property of the Law Church in Ireland is held as a public trust, under the controul of the Legislature'? Mr. SIIEIL, a few nights since, cited authority for the well-known fact of the origi nal three-fold division of tithes ; and it is quite su perfluous, at this time of day, to attempt to con vince the public, that tithes have not been diverted from their original object, whatever Mr. PERCEVAL and Sir ROBERT INGLIS may say to the contrary. The patience of the Catholic population under this oppressive system is really remarkable, when we consider the aggravation that is constantly aris ing out of such meetings as the late assembly at Exeter-hall. The abuse, by the fanatic Protestant priests who addressed the multitude on that occa sion, of the religion of the great majority of the nation they proposed to instruct, was as disgusting an exhibition as any that has for some time past oc curred. We know not what is unchristian if such conduct be not so; nor can we conceive anything less worthy the vocation of any Ministers of religion than that practice of reproaching, at public meetings called for benevolent purposes,those whose character PRICES OF SHARES THI Guardian Assurance Co Van Dieman's Land Agriculture .NGE YESTERDAY.

The ratification of the Belgic Treaty by the Prus sian Government has been for some time in Lendon a ready to be delivered as soon as the ratifications of Russia and Austria shall arrive. There is little doubt that these latter will be very shortly forth coming. The following are extracts from German and Frankfort Papers. Their contents are of no great moment. At Leipsic, it seems, great apprehensions are entertained of the visitation of cholera, which is making sad havoc at Halle : VIE-NNA, JAN. 27.—The contents of the official documents published in the Diario Romano of the 14th instant, which we have given in an extraordinary supplement to the Austrian Observer, furnish us with the elements from which a just opi nion may be formed of the lamentable state of things in the Papal Legations, The length of the interval from the retreat of the Imperial troops out of those provinces on the 15th July last year to the middle of the present month, which has been employed by his Holiness to introduce the most important im provements in the internal government and the administration of justice, but has been used by the agitators and the misguided to propagate anarchy, and to organize as much as possible the means of resistance, clearly proves on the one hand the paternal moderation of the Sovereign, and, on the other, the culpable infa tuation of the individuals who have hitherto succeeded in obstruct ing the just and salutary influence of the Government in those provinces. The Holy Father, who owes it to himself, to his quiet and peaceable subjects, and to the world, to see that this melancholy example of disobedience and obstinacy shall at length vanish, has ordered that his troops at Ferrara and Ri mini, should enter the Legations on the 19th, as announced in the manifesto issued on the 14th from the office of the Secretary of State, Official accounts of the operations of both divisions of the Papal troops have been received in reports from Modena, dated the 21st. These reports consist of a few lines only, and have been anticipated by the later news through France. There are still two cholera patients in the city, and seven in the suburbs of Vienna. LEIPSIC, Jay. r 7 .—Though the sanitary state of this city is at the present moment as good as possible, the approach of the cholera is more and more threatening. There were some cases in Naruinburg, Merseburg, and Weissenfels, at the be ginning, and they are increased. At Halle, there were twenty new cases every day ; some students have fallen victims, and many leave the University. Professor Gesenius has left, and returned for safety to Nordhausen. In Leipsic two cholera hospitals are in readiness, and several physicians have been sent by the Magistrates to Halle. TAXIS: JAN. 27.—Her Royal Highness the Princess Dowager of Tour and Taxis was in imminent danger the day before yesterday of falling a victim to an accident. While bending towards a light her clothes caught fire, and though with great presence of mind she endeavoured to extinguish the flame with a handkerchief, and assistance was immediately at hand,. her head and neck were severely burnt. Her Royal Highness is happily out of danger, and the wounds, though painful, are in a fair way of healing. STUTTGARD, FEB. I.—The following notice has been pub lished here The Swabian Mercury of yesterday contains a notice from the Polish Committee at Ulm, in which the latter has presumed, in opposition to the express regula tion of the Government, to assign to the Polish fugitives other routes for passing through the kingdom, and has thereby been guilty of a highly arbitrary and culpable interference in the affairs of the police. Notice is therefore hereby given, that the regulations issued by the competent authorities by his Majesty's command, assigning the shortest route for the Polish fugitives, are to be observed, and that proceedings will be in stituted against the Polish Committee at Ulm for its unau thorised conduct" SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.

The debates in the House of Commons last night were not of material interest, with the exception of the speech of Mt. bun combe, respecting the Anti-Reform petition lately presented to the King at Brighton, which produced rather an interesting dis cussion, relating to the creation of new Peers, for the purpose of carrying the Reform Bill through the House of Lords; this, we suppose, was to sound Ministers on their future operations in regard to th e creation of Peers, but Ministers were silent on the subj ect, and thus ended a useless debate.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) THE NEW BANKRUPTCY ACT. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that it was necessary for him to mention a bankruptcy for the second time to his Lordship. The bankruptcy he alluded to was one that had been part heard before his Lordship previous to the passing of the New Bankruptcy Act, and the Solicitor opposed to his (the Solicitor-General's) clients, had carried the matter into the new Bankrupt Court, and prevailed on the Judges there to en. tertain it. He apprehended it was utterly impossible to sup pose that this could have been meant by the Legislature, and he hoped his Lordship would interfere to prevent so great a hardship upon the suitor, and not allow his jurisdiction to be taken away in matters that had already been in hearing in this Court. • Sir E. SUGDEN also hoped his Lordship would be of opi nion that the Court bad jurisdiction. The greatest mischief seemed to be the consequence of the new state of things as they at present existed in bankruptcy. It was supposed, that even every appeal that stood for hearing here before the passing of the Act must now go to the Court of Review. The result was that all matters of bankruptcy, which had been heard before the Vice-Chancellor, and would be carried to the Court of Review by appeal, and then that they would be brought hereby a second appeal. The consequence of this state of things had been that in matters of appeal here, in which heavy briefs had been deli. vered and large fees paid, the appeals had been abandoned here ; the same sort of briefs had been delivered in the New Court, and small fees paid again there. This was a crying evil, which ought not to exist. It could not have been the meaning of the Legislature, that such a construction should be put upon the Act of Parliament. As, however, the mischief did exist, it was absolutely necessary that the Government should interfere to put an end to such an outrageous evil. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he of course could take no notice of any thing here, but of that which was addressed to him in his judicial capacity. Sir EDWARD SUDDEN was aware of that, and only meant to address his observations to the Court in that charac ter; at the same time, surrounded as he was by those who had a considerable share in framing the late Act of Parliament, he could not help making some observations, which he hoped might influence their conduct in another place. Mr. MONTAGU was on the same side with Sir EDWARD SUDDEN. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked if this was ex-parte The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said it was. Sir E. SUQDEN was of opinion, that some person should have been here to have argued it on the other side. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, if he had been aware of its being ex-parte, he would not have allowed it to have gone on. It was a matter of great importance in whichever way the Court decided upon the question. He would take time to consider it. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY. CHAMBERS v. BERNASCONI AND OTHERS. In our report of this case on Wednesday we made a mistake. The verdict was for the defendants, and a bill of exceptions was handed in by the plaintiff's attorney, on account of the Lord Chief Baron having refused some evidence that was tendered. Lord LYNDHURST sat in the city this morning, but no case of importance came before him up to the time of our go ing to press. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY,) DE SEWHANBERG v. BUCH ANNAN. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Baron de Sew. hanberg, to recover from the defendant the sum of 21)0 guineas, the amount of a bill of exchange of which he was the acceptor, given to the plaintiff by a Mr. Marsack, in payment of a painting by Rembrandt. Mr. Serjeant WILDE conducted the plaintiff's case, and Mr. Serjeant ANDREWS the defence. The plaintiff; a native of Belgium, is a connoisseur in paint ings of the most eminent masters, rand resides at an hotel in Rupert-street, Haymarket. In the month of October, 1830, a Mr. Marsack was recommended to the Baron, he having a valuable painting he wished to dispose of ; a bargain was struck, and it was agreed that Marsack should have the painting for 2.(X") guineas, the Baron undertakin g to receive a bill of exchange for the amount drawn by Marsack upon the defendant. When the bill became due, it was dishonoured, and the plaintiff now sought to recover the amount. For the defence several witnesses were called, amongst whom was Mr. Marsack, the purchaser of the painting, who swore that when he made the purchase, the Baron warranted the picture to be a " Rembrandt," and, believing him to be a man ofhonour, he was induced to purchase it at 200 guineas. He subsequently discovered that he had been imposed upon, and that it was not the work of Rembrandt, or that of any other eminent master, and instead of being worth 200 guineas, it was not worth as many shillings. Upon this discovery he made application to get back the bill, and to return the painting, or to procure another picture from the Baron, or some other se curity for the amount of the bill, but he could not succeed, and therefore the bill was not honoured as it had been obtained by fraud. A Mr. Child proved applying to the Baron for the bill, and told him that the transaction was altogether an imposition, upon which the Baron said he could not return it as it was not in his possession, and that if indeed it was lie would not give it up. Mr. Wm. Seguere, in the service of his Majesty as keeper and surveyor of the King's pictures, declared that the painting was not a " Rembrandt," or that of his pupil, " Gerard Dow," and that instead of being worth two hundred guineas, was not worth twenty.five. Mr. Thomas Emmerson, Mr. Dunfar, Mr. Smith, Mr. Farrar, and Mr. Norton, persons acquainted with the works of Rem brandt, and other artists, declared also that the painting was not a " Rembrandt," and was not worth more than 101. or 15/. Mr. Serjeant WILDE replied at some length, and contended that there had been no warranty, and that his client was en. titled to a verdict, and, said the Learned Counsel, " God send we may get the money."—(Laughter.) The CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, observed, that if the Jury were of opinion that no warranty had been given, then they would find a verdict for the plaintiff; but if on the con. trary, then they would find a verdict for the defendant, and would give such damages as they felt convinced would be an equivalent to the injury he had sustained by such a false war. ranty. The Learned Judge then read the evidence, and com mented thereon as he proceeded. The Jury afterwards found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages 200 Guineas. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

Lord Pamalioxit, with the exception of a short visit to Wilton house, Wiltshire, on the death of the late Earl, in lEqB, has resided wholly abroad for many years, BRISTOL.--FRIDA Y EVENING, (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) i The introduction of the two Bills by Mr. Bailie into Parliament, at the instance of the Corporation, caused a strong feeling of indignation throughout the city upon the subject—and this was anything but allayed by the receipt of a letter from Mr. Prothert e, sen., stating the sentitneliN of his son, Mr. Bailie's colleague, upon the tendency of the proposed Bills. The conduct of the Magistrates—the cor rupt and self-elected members of the Curporation—in thus presuming to insult still more a city which their incapacity and imbecility have well nigh ruined, and to insult thiqn through the medium of one of their representatives, re turned by the popular interest, was considered as a double aggravation. No little alarm too was felt at the attrropt so adroitly made to saddle the city with some new affair of corporation intrigue; and, to ascertain the extent of the matter, a respectable and influential citizen addressed a letter to Mr. Bailie, from whom he received to-day the fol lowing reply : (corr.) London, Feb. 9, 1832. SIR,—I have just had the honour of receiving your letter of yesterday, and am extremely glad of the opportu enuitwy.ytaonuce.havoefaffthordeiendtemadeNfof e f x 3 p u l l a s in l i e n s g pe t c h t e in s g tat t e he al c id ity ci o r- f Bristol. Two petitions were brought to me from the Magistrates of Bristol, to the House of Commons, with a request that I would present them without loss of time, as it would be too late to carry any measure through the House during the session. I felt it to be a part of my formal official duty to present those petitions, as I should any other peti tion coming from my constituents, without, however, pledging myself to the support of the matter contained therein. On the contrary, I expressly stated that 1 could not engage to take any further steps until the sentiments of my fellow citizens had been fully ascertained, upon a sub ject of such vital importune to their interests. I have the honour to be, Sir, ice. kc. JAS. E. BAILIE. COURT CIRCULAR. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kawr and the Princess VICTORIA walked for some time in Hyde-park yesterday. Prince LIEVICN, the Russian Ambassador, and Prince TALLETRAND, the French Ambassador, had iat,rviews with Viscount PALmizasToN, yesterday, at the Foreign office. The Minister from Buenos Ayres transacted business, on Thursday, at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Major-General FARQUHARSON had an interview with Viscount GouKluc H yesterday, at the Colonial-office, and (it is understood) took leave of his Lordship, on his de parture to enter on the duties of his office, as Governor of St. Lucia. The LORD CHANCELLOR visited Viscount ALT:act/et. yesterday, at the Treasury. His Lordship had an inter view with Earl GREY on Thursday. The Bishop of LONDON had an interview with Viscount GODERICH on Thursday, at the Colonial-office. Earl GREY entertained the Cabinet Ministers at dinner, on Wednesday evening, at his residence in Downing-street. The Earl of CARLISLE was prevented from being present, owing to an attack of gout, which had confined his Lord ship to his residence in Grosvenor-place for some days past. A deputation from Manchester, headed by Lord SaN DON, had a long conference with Viscount ALTHORF, at the Treasury, on Thursday. Mr. COLQUHOUN, the Agent for Dominica, transacted business at the Colonial-office on Thursday. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres dated Thursday.) The regiments of infantry which at present compose the garrison of Paris have received orders to hold them ',lves in readiness to leave at the beginning of March. These regiments are destined to reinforce the army of the nurth, which will be encamped in the spring. The gar rison of Paris will be reinforced by regiments from the nterior. Among the persons arrested in connexion with the plot of the 2d instant, there are scarcely any but foreigners. ♦t the utmost not one-seventh of the number are Parisians. (From the Courrier Francais.) Some of the Papers have. spoken of a ball given last week by a rich Englishman, established at Paris, at which several ladies appeared in dresses of the (colours of Henry V., and even with fleurs-de-lis in their head dresses. One jourual states, that, as a punishment for this imprudence, the authorities gave notice to this foreigner to leave Paris in 24 hours, and France within three days. We are happy to say, however, and we learn without surprise, that the statement of the Paper in ques tion is devoid of foundation, and that no injunction of the kind has been given to the Arnphytrion of the Carlists. The present Government has more to fear from its own faults than from the dresses which may be worn at a ball. It is not the green sashes nor the artificial lilies with which a few young ladies adorn themselves, that will shake the revolution of July. An extraordinary courier from St. Petersbureh arrived at eight o'clock this morning at the Foreign-office. It is believed that his despatches contain the answer to the pressing notes of France respecting the treaty of the 15th of November. The Carlists continue to meet in great numbers at Fri.. bourg. The Duke de Blacas, it is said, is at the head of these emigrant•, and direct• their proceedings. BOLOGNA, JAN. 28.—After the horrible assassinations of Casena and Forli, 400 soldiers separated themselves from the Pontifical corps d'armee, and dispersed them. -elves throughout the country. These bands, which will spread terror through the country, are composed of the assassins of Frosinone and other criminals, which the Pope had released from the prisons of St. Leo, Civita Cas= tellane, and Castel St. Angelo. The Austrians enterei this city this morning, under the command of General Grabowski. The Pontificals do not dare to show them selves without strong Austrian escorts. They are about 6,000 in number, so that our garrison amounts to 10,000 men. The Austrians, who were in Romagna, are to go to Ancona, where they will probably arrive in three or lour days. Cardinal Albani has to-day issued a proclaim.- tion for the disarming of the Civic Guards. (From Galigani's Messenger.) Peals, Faa. S.—Yesterday M. Geuoude, editor of the Gazette de France, M. Thouret, editor of the Revolution, and M. le Due, editor of the Courrier de I'Ru-rope, ap peared before the Court of Assizes upon a prosecution ac cusing each of them of attacking the rights the King enjoys from the will of the nation, as expressed in the declaration of the ith of August, 1830, s o d t h e constitu tional charter of the kingdom. The indictment was founded upon an article coutained in the Revolution of the 24th of October last, copied afterwards into the other two journals with additional observations. M. de Ge noude came into Court at nine o'clock, being brought up in custody from the prison of St. Pelagic, where he is still in confinement upon a former sentence. M. Thouret. who is in the same po4tion, came up in custody from theAfaison de Sante, in which he has been allowed from ill-health to reside. They were immediately followed by M. le Due. The prosecution was conducted by the Advocate. General, M. Partarrieu-Lafosse. M. iienuequin pleaded for M. Genoude, who also delivered a very animated speech is his own defence. M. Mauguin defended M. Thouret, who likewise pleaded his awn cause ; M. Berryer was the advo cate of le Due. The trial lasted till eight o'clock at night, when the Jury delivered a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners; they were rich sentenced to three, months' imprisonment, and a tlne of 3,000 francs. The Chambre dts Conseil yesterday came to a decision upon the supposed plot of the Napoleonists, for which ,e -vera! persons were arrested at the end of the month of November. M. Mirandoli and M. Jabat are the only two persons sent to take their trial before the Court of Ass; l e g , The Commandant Lennox, who has been kept in confine ment nine mnnthi, has been discharged, no grounds for a prose;!,ution being found. Bethisy St. Pierre, in the department of the Oise, has just sustained a considerable loss by fire. Six houses have become a prey to the flumes. The fire broke out in the night; whril, fortunately, the wind blew in a direction opposed to other houses, which, being covered with straw, would also have been consumed. Serious suspicions are entertained against one of the inhabitant•, whose house has been burnt down. On Friday the 10th instant, a General As sembly of the Academicians of the Royal Academy of Arts was held at their spsrtments in Soinerset-hoase, when GILBERT STUART NEWTON and HENRI- PER : 'ONET BRIGGS, Esqrs„ were duly elected Royal Academi cians, in the roem of JOHN JACXSON and JA.OJ'B NOJTM COTI, &qrs., deceased. By the death of Lord NORWOOD, eldest son of the late Earl of Nottsumr, the Irish Barony, which was conferred on the Lite Lady Nortsuar in 1797, with remainder to her eldest son, reverts to the present Earl, who recently succeeded to the honours of his father, th• celebrated Judge of the Irish Common Pleas. Lord .Nox- WOOD was about fifty years of age, and uturnarritde
