THE NOVELIST OF MODERN LIFE.- `` The peculiar species of talent," says the Edinburgh Re " required for this task, seems to us to be possessed 'n an eminent degree by 111 r. LISTER, the author of " Ar lington." Nothing can exceed the truth and keeping of his sketche., or rather cabinet pictures, from real life. He ia a close observer, and in a right spirit ; he neither Writ e ., a satire nor a eulogy; but shews us men and a'nmen, as they are ;—too often selfish and frivolous no doubt ; yet often preserving i❑ the heart, as in a citadel, Principles of honeur and strong feeling, which ever and anon break forth to humanize and vivify the waste about t hem. The good and evil of life are balanced with a steady and impartial hand; and lessons of manners, virtue, wis. d ons, cheerfulness, and toleration, are every where insi nuated in action, or illustrated in the shape of animated and natural dialogue.

VIENNA, Om 30.—0 n November 6, their Majesties are expected to return from Schonbrunn to Vienna. Yesterday, on the arrival of a commercial express from Paris, a sudden panic ensued, and the funds experienced a great decline. Bank Shares, for instance, from 1120 to 1088. This fall was caused by the report that the French army had entered B'lgium, and the fear that this would lead to a general war. It was also reported that pro posals for a new loan would be made by our Government. To-day, however, more pacific news has been received, and the funds have recovered, Bank Shares being noted to wards the close at 1127. Six lighters with provisions and troops arrived at the citadel yesterday, and left it empty during the day ; when they came to the Dutch ships stationed off the Pyp Tabac, they were sent back to the citadel, where they now are. Another Dutch man of war has joined those at the Pyp Tabac.—Brussels Papers, Nov. 10. ANTWERP, Nov. 9.—The Burgomaster has this morn ing issued a proclamation to the citizens, reminding them of the measures resolved upon by France and England, and also of the statement of the intention of the Govern ment (inserted in the Moniteur Belge), to avoid every thing that might give the enemy a pretext for insulting the innocent population. The proclamation adds, that as the solicitude of the Go vernment cannot afford the citizens complete security, the magistrates have taken every possible precaution, and ex pect that the citizens, on their part, will take such precau tions as their respective situations call for. This warning is not meant to alarm the citizens. It is not yet certain that the first measures of coercion against Holland will fail of success. The following address has been forwarded from Roch dale, in Lancashire, to the Duke of Wellington, requesting that it miy be presented through the medium of his Grac, to the King :- 44 TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY, " We, the undersigned bankers, merchants, and others, inhabitants of the borough of Rochdale, humbly approach your Majesty with an assurance of our fidelity and attach ment to your Royal person. " Prompted, we would hope, by no other feelings than the honour and welfare of our country, we cannot but view with alarm, and even dismay, the preparations now making of a warlike nature, which are openly avowed, and for a purpose, we humbly conceive, alike detrimental to our in terests, dishonourable to our nation, and wicked and un called for in the eyes of every well-wisher to the rights of justice and humanity. " War, at all times, and under all aspects, is to be de plored, even when necessary as a protection to our na tional interests, and as a defence against the insults and aggressions of our enemies ; but bow much more deeply is that conflict to be feared when it becomes a war, not for our ow© safety or defence, but one of coercion against an old ally, of aid to French interests and French aggression, of ruin to our continental trade, and a barrier of the most important inlet throughout the continent of Europe against our manufactures—the pivot of our prosperity as a nation, and on the promotion and encouragement of which de pends our very existence as a flee and united people. " Humbly conceiving that we ought to fear more the aggressive disposition of the French than of the Dutch ar mies, we are the more surprised that your Majesty's Mi nisters should have determined on a measure so frought with injustice, and PO directly in aid of French conquest and French aggrandizement, while we c innot but view with unmixed apprehension this opening into Belgium as only the letting loose again of their licentious and revolu tionary legions to devastate the continent, until in their turn again scourged back by the united efforts of an out raged people. " If there be a case where the system of non-interven tion, so often avowed by your Majesty's advisers, should be strictly adhered to, it is that, we should most humbly urge, which relates to the settlement of the Dutch and Belgian claims; but if intervention be allowed, should it Letters from Constantinople of the 10th contain nothing very important, but it was generally reported that Mehethet Ali had entered into preliminary negotiations with the Capitan Pacha, which might lead to some result. Ibrahim bad levied 30,000 recruits in Syria, whose organization is said to have made considerable progress; he was not, how ever, advanced any farther, but is still beyond Mount Taurus. The armaments at Constantinople continue. The plague had considerably abated. VIENNA, OCT. 30.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 87; Four per Cent. 75 ; Bank Shares, 1128.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Nov. 4. We hear that an embargo has been laid on a Dutch ship at Dunkirk.—Antwerp Papers, Nov. 10. DUTCH PAPERS. BRUSSELS AND ANTWERP PAPERS, THE Haaux, Nov. B.—A courier from St. Peters_ burgh arrived here last night, said to he on his way to London, with the answer of the Emperor respecting the proposed measure of coercion to be executed by France and England against Holland. His despatches, which are said to be not unfavourable to Holland, were discussed in a Cabinet Council yesterday. The opinion, that by a timely arrangement all acts of hostility that might lead to a general war may be pre vented, prevails among many persons here; and the Con vention proposed by Prussia is considered as well calcu lated to attain this object. BREDA, Nov. 6.—A line of telegraphs has been esta blished from the extreme point of ,the island of Waldewer to the citadel of Antwerp. Both at Flushing and in the fourth and fifth districts, extreme vigilance is employed. The works of defence are continually extended, and all that is necessary for inundat ing those districts is ready. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 9.—We learn that a letter, dated Wesel, 7th November, has been received here,:,which is said to contain the following passage : " Last night news was brought by estafette to the Commandant, M. Montoud, that within three days the 17th Regiment, with the cavalry and artillery, must have passed the Rhine at this place, and that all the other re giments must have passed it before the 16th ; and also that the Landwebr must hold itself in readiness. The troops are to cross the Rhine at Cologne, Dusseldorf, and Wesel. We are all in a bustle here to lay in hay, oats, and meal. Rye and oats have already risen in price. God grant that the King of Holland may prove victorious. Let us not lose courage; all may turn out well. The Prussians are full of ardour; especially the young officers." HAGUE, Nov. S.—A Russian courier, who has brought news of the safe delivery of the Empress of Russia of a son, is supposed to have important despatches for the Rus sian Legation in London, for which place he has already set out. They probably contain the answer respecting the coercive measures for enforcing the treaty of the 15th of November. Baussims, Nov, 7.—General Desprez left this city yesterday afternoon, to return to Louvain. M. Ludlow, Secretary to Baron Stockmar, who arrived at Brussels the day before yesterday express from London, set out again for that city yesterday afternoon. VALENCIENNES, Nov. 5.—A telegraphic despatch from Lille announces to Marshal Gerard the formal refusal of the King of Holland to agree to the last proposals made to him. Orders have accordingly been given to prosecute with increased activity the preparations already commenced for the siege of the citadel of Antwerp. A great quantity of shells, of heavy artillery, &c. is embarked in boats. Two companies of the 12th Regiment of the Line were placed on Sunday under the orders of Colonel Morlet, of the Engineers, to prepare fascines, gabions, &c. ANTWERP, Nov. 6.—Eight lighters, laden irith bay, straw, and provisions, arrived at the citadel yesterday. Last night, at eleven o'clock, the Dutch again threw up sky rockets ; this they continued for above an hour. The vessel called the Citadelle Van Antwerpen left the citadel yesterday with troops. not, we again most humbly submit, be directed to prevent the interference of any other Power in the quarrel, and strictly to confine each nation to her own boundaries? BRUSSELS, Nov. 7.—The Courrier contains the follow ing postscript:—" We have received from Holland, by way of Antwerp, the intelligence that the Dutch Govern " Praying that your Majesty would withhold your con sent to the present rrro,t dishonourable coalition with France, and to an attack, where not only defeat would be disaster, but even victory a disgrace, we repeat our ex pression of attachment to your Majesty's person, an assur ance of our fidelity to the Constitution under which we live, and praying that your Majesty may long reign over a free and united people•" We understand that an answer has been received from the Duke of Wellington, intimating that he has taken means to have the address immediately presented. ment has ordered the ships of the Royal Navy not to put to sea. The French and English legation were to quit the Hague on Thursday the Bth. " In Holland they are sure of the protest of the Three Northern Powers against the Anglo-French intervention. It is said that th.., protest will be immediately published in the official Journals of the Hague." A letter from Aix-la-Chapelle, which we (Le Lynx) have reason to believe is worthy of credit, informs us that orders had just been received at Coblentz, by Lieutenant- General Von Borstell, Commander-in-• Chief of the troops stationed in the Rhenish Provinces and Westphalia, im mediately to put in motion the troops of the line and the Landwehr, and to make them approach the French and Belgian frontiers. The total number of these troops amounts to 160,000 men, perfectly well exercised, and with an immense materiel. The Staats General have been engaged in hearing re ports on petitions.

He contended that it was invalid, because the names of the persons from whom the money had been received were not specified. In support of his view, he stated that Mr. Justice PARKE, one of the best lawyers in the kingdom, was of opinion, in a recent case (the King v. Beacle), that it was absolutely necessary to state the names of the persons from whom the money was received. No report of this case could be found in Court : the advocate for the prosecution said his impression was that Mr. Justice PARKE was of a different opinion : but so confident was the Counsel for the prisoner, that the Court attended to his view, and directed the offender to he acquitted. After the Counsel on each side had left the Court, a copy of Chitty's Burn's Justice was handed to the Chairman, and there the case referred to was found, in which it was distinctly held that it was NOT necessary to specify the names of the payers. —Lincoln Mercury. The Phare (of Antwerp) contains the following PROCLAMATION : " The Colonel commanding this place hastens to inform his fellow-citizens inhabiting the city and di,trict of Ant werp, that the King of Holland, having refused to evacuate those parts of our territory which are occupied by his troops, coercive measures to oblige him to do so will be very shortly employed by the Governments of France and England. " If on the 15th the first demonstrations directed against the commerce of Holland should not have produced any result, force will be employed. " This citadel being one of the principal points against which tLe first attacks may be directed, the Government will take the measures which are in its power to deprive the enemy of every pretext for throwing the evils of war on the inoffensive population. " But not being able to answer for the resistance which will be made by an enemy little scrupulous in the choice of his means, the inhabitants of the city and district are recomm ended to take such precautions as the nature of the circumstances for the safety of their persons and property may demand. " BUZEN. " Antwerp, Nov. 7, 1832." Yesterday, at 1 o'clock, the King left Brussels to in spect a battery of artillery at Waterloo. The Secretary of the French Legation set out at 2 o'clock this morning on a mission to Paris. Four estafettes were despatched yesterday from Brussels to Valenciennes. Eight estafettes, all from France, passed the relay at Hals yesterday evening, on their way to Brussels. LIFE IN INDIA.—" We strongly recommend The East India Sketch Book ' to all who wish to learn the exact state of society in our Indian Empire—all who wish to learn the chances of that life, the nature of the services ex acted from officials, civil or military, and the value of the re wards received. The present work fills up a gap left by MUNDY and SKINNER, and only attempted i❑ some other books, to which it is hardly worth referring, There is much real life in these sketches ; the writer has seen a great deal, and suffered, we apprehend, not a little. The two objects of amusement and instruction are well com bined ; and the whole execution of the work confirms an opinion we have often expressed—that the quantity of talent of a literary kind now being developed in our Orien tal countries, is very great, and reflects no small credit upon those who have had the selection of individuals, or the regulation of the circumstances that have called it forth."—Spectator. We learn that the English Consul at Antwerp has sent all his family to Ma On the sth, a French courier arrived at Courtray with orders to prepare provisions for the French army by the 12th. INFANT LABOUR.—A certain eccentric Tory Member, who, till he obtained a seat in the present Parlia ment, had never made his appearance in society, dined last year in company with SADLER, and several other political personages, at the mansion of Sir ROBERT PEEL. After dinner, as the gentlemen were drinking coffee in the fine picture gallery of the Ex-Minister, a conversation took place between SADLER and Sir ROBERT on the subject of the Bill for the Regulation of Infant Labour. Mr. —, who was standing near, occasionally joining in the discus sion, whil e h e contemp l ated LAWRENCE ' S exquisite picture of the infant daughter of his host (considering, perhaps, that the B ironet was lukewarm towards the interests of the manufacturing classes), suddenly slapped him on the back, and exclaimed, while he pointed to the portrait of little Miss PEEL, " Ah, Sir Robert ! that little darling might have been slaving in the factory, you know ; 'twas a narrow escape." The amazement of his disconcerted auditors may be easily conceived.— Tait's Magazine. BRUSSELS, Nov. 9.—The Government has received, i❑ reply to the notification of the mart iage of the King with the Princess of Orleans, the answer of the Emperor of Austria, the Kings of Prussia, Sardinia, Denmark, and the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt. A waggon, drawn by six horses, containing money be longing to the Treasury, arrived yesterday from Antwerp. The Union confirms the statement of the Brussels Cor respondent of the Paris Journal, announcing that General Chasse had written a note to Colonel Buzen, declaring that he should direct all his artillery agains t Antwerp, if a French flag should appear near the citadel ; but the .Ifentoritri says, that no such communication has been made by General Chasse to Col. Buzen. The Independent has the following article from Ant werp of the 7th :—" A bundle of the Messager de Gand, intended for Holland, was seized at the house of M. Hens, at Wits Wive!. This packet was addressed to M. H. Van der Vliet, who, instead of receiving a parcel of newspapers, has received, by order of Col. Buzen, a garrison of ten men in his house, where they will live at free quarters till further orders." EXECUTION.—This day (Wednesday) GEORGE DOFFY, convicted at the late Circuit Court of the murder of his wife, was executed in front of the gaol. This was one of the most atrocious and disgusting mur ders perpetrated in this part of the country, and seems to have been equalled only by the fiendlike atrocities of the Gilmerton carters, executed some years ago in Edinburgh. DOTTY, as the tragical conclusion of a long series of brutal treatment towards his wife, with a barbarity that makes the heart shudder, placed her upon the fire in his own house, and roasted her in such a horrific manner as to cause eventually her death in the Royal Infirmary, whither the unfortunate woman was removed after the assault. For a long time previous to the murder DOFFY had been in the constant habit of maltreating his wife, by striking, kicking, tearing her hair, and other similar outrages, too frequently perpetrated by husbands who are the slaves, as he had become, of drunkenness and debauchery. Since his condemnation DOTTY was sedulously attended by the Ro man Catholic clergy of the city. He continued during his confinement to deny having committed the barbarous deed for which he suffered, alleging that his wife had fallen into the fire in a state of intoxication ; but he fully con fessed his ill usage towards her, and admitted that that might have been remotely the cause of her death. At 2 to day he was brought from his cell to his scaffold, attended by two Roman Catholic clergymen. He appeared very firm, and died after a few severe struggles. DOTTY was about 45, rather under the middle stature, had a for bidding aspect, and a peculiar conformation of head ; his forehead being unusually flat, and the back part protu berating largely. He was au Irishman, born near Lon donderry, and came to Scotland 16 years ago, when he was married to his unfortunate wife, also a native of Ire land. He went to sea, and was on board a man-of-war seven years..— Glasgow Chronicle. It appears from a report made to our Staff, that a great number of emissaries with pigeons have been sent from Holland to the principal towns of the department of the North. By this means the entrance of the French into Belgium may be known in Holland and in the citadel of Antwerp within one hour after it has taken place. ANTwEar, Nov. 7.—We learn that it was unani mously resolved, in a meeting of the Magistrates of this city yesterday evening, immediately to draw up an address to the King, petitioning his Majesty to save the Consti tution from the violation with which it is threatened at Antwerp, and to take the measures which justice and law claim in favour of 72,000 inhabitants, who are with drawn by the military authorities from their natural judges, and placed under the jurisdiction of the Council of War. The address was voted, composed, approved, and for warded in the same sitting. The affair was pressing ; within forty-eight hours from this time, our fellow-citizens, Messrs. Vanderschuck and Dodd, may be brought before a Court-martial, deprived of all the legal securities of individual liberty, and, in case of condemnation, be executed in twenty-four hours. ANTWERP, Nov. S.—The trial of Messrs. Vander schuck and Dodd, which has not been postponed as their Counsel required, seems fixed for the 12th, unless before that time justice is done to the Constitution. To-day all the inhabitants are preparing to withdraw with their most valuable property; the emigratio❑ has commenced, and the places in all the conveyances from this city have been engaged ever since yesterday evening.

On Saturday night Mrs. INCHBALD'S comedy of Every One has his Fault was revived at this theatre, and in cluded in the cast the whole strength of the company. One of the chief attractions was the appearance of Mr. BLANCHARD for the first time since his arrival from Ame rica, in the part of Solos. Mr. BLANCHARD has im. proved much in personal appearance since his departure, and infused into the character of Solos all that quaintness of humour and peculiarity for which he has been for many years so distinguished a favourite of the public. He was very warmly rec ived by the audience. Mr. JONES played the part of the gay and fickle Sir Robert Ramble with his accustomed excellence. Mr. BARTLEY is admirably well suited for such a part as that of the good-natured Mr. Harmony. Miss ELLEN TREE, as Lady Eleanor, showed that she is the cleverest actress on the stage. The suspi cious surprise she manifested when her husband exhibits the pocket-book and notes which he has stolen—the auh sequent struggle between a feeling of honour and a desire to secure the corpus dilecti when it is shown to her by Edward, as a means of saving her unfortunate husband, were acted with truth and energetic feeling. Miss POOLE, as Edward, playe I very cleverly, and was much applauded. The Marriage of Figaro, substituted for AUBER'S Fra Diavolo, was played as the second piece. CORONER'S INQUEST. On Friday last Mr. CARTER, the Coroner, held an inquest at Little Heath, in the parish of Chobham, in Surrey, on view of the body of a fine boy named James Yuman, who was unfortunately burnt to death during the absence of his parents at their daily labour. The following singular incident connected with the melancholy affair was related by Mr. CARTER, on Saturday, at an inquest in the Westminster bridge-road :—Mr. Carter set out in his chaise, from his residence at Kingston, far the place where the inquest was to be held, and not being at all ac quainted with the road, he pulled up at a public house in a bottom near Esher, to inquire his way to Little Heath. Having been directed, he reumerl his journey, and in a lane leading across a common, he overtook a female, apparently about 17 years of age, carrying a bundle, and walking as if unwell. He, thinking she knew the road, inquired his way to where he was going, upon which the female re plied, " I am going to Little Heath, Sir, and with your permission will show you the way." Mr. Carter replied, " Well do, my dear, jump up, and I will drive you there." The girl took the vacant seat, and on the road she became very communica tive. She said she had just left her service in Lon don, not being able, from ill health, to do the la bour, and that she was going home to her lather, at Little Heath, in order, if possible, to recruit her strength. " Then," said Mr. Carter, " you, perhaps can tell me where a man named Yarman lives in that village ?" "To be sure I can," replied the girl, with a smile, " he is my father, Sir." Mr. Carter did not for some moments ask any further questions, as it was quite certain the poor girl was ignorant of the calamity that had occurred in her family; but when a fit opportunity presented itself, he asked her if she had heard of any accident occurring to any of her kindred. She answered she had not, and at that moment she recognized ' Mr. Carter to be the Coroner, and said, " Oh, do tell me what accident ; I know you now ; I lived servant next door to you at Kingston ; you are 'Air. Carter, the Coroner." - Mr. Carter then, with as much delicacy and caution as possible, made her ac quainted with the melancholy object of his visit to her father's cottage. The unhappy girl became almost paralyzed at the information, and gave vent to her agonized feelings by shedding tears in abun dance. Mr. Carter soothed her as well as he was able ; but from that moment she never spoke, and when within a few yards of the habitation of her parents she sprang out of the gig, and fled in a state of phrenzy to the scene of grief. When the in quest was over Mr. Carter inquired after the poor girl, and related the singular manner in which he had met with her on the road. He was told that she was so powerfully affected at the dreadful cala mity, that she could not be prevailed upon to leave the room where her brother's corpse was lying. Mr. Carter left on his way back to Kingston, when he found the unfortunate girl's bundle in the gig, which, in the agitated state of mind she was in, she had left behind her. Mr. Carter returned to the house where the inquest was held, and delivered it over to the landlady.

Ex PEDITION TO THE NlGER.—Extract of a letter from Mr. RICHARD LANDER, dated Isle de Loz, coast of Africa, September 6, 1832, on board the Quorra steamer :—" I write merely to inform you we arrived on the 3d instant, all well, and leave for Cape Coast this evening. All the vessels have behaved very well : we have had several tornadoes ; the lightning was felt snore on board the Quorra than the iron steamer ; it remained on our decks, but it merely struck the sides of the latter and glid e d o ff i nto the water. This w i ll g i ve you an idea that an iron vessel is even safer than one built of wood. On board the Quorra we suffered much from the smell of bilge-water, while the iron boat has not made one inch of water since s h e sa i led from Liverpoo l, an d s h e is never warmer than th e water she fl oats i n . Th e most important part of my wor k w i ll soon begin, when I hope to send you some very fav oura bl e news." DRURY-LANE THEATRE. One of BEN JoNames best plays, Every Man in his Humour, was produced at this theatre on Saturday night, with erery claim to success as far as excellency of cast is concerned. MACREADY appeared in the character of Kitely, Fa RREN in that of Brainworm, COOPER as Young lVelborn, POWER as Captai n Bobadil, and Mrs. NES BITT as Dante Kitely. MACREADY played in his usual puinted and energetic style, making the character his own ; and FARREN added an interest to the part of Brainworm, which, iu the hands of actors of less merit, to whom it has long been assigned, would have been entirely unfelt. COOPER as Welborn, and POWER as the redoubtable Cap tain Bobadil, acquitted themselves with great spirit, although the brogue of the latter told against him. Mrs. NESBITT played with much taste and feeling as the wife of the jealous and headstrong Kitely.—The house, after half•price commenced, was well attended. ELECTION MATTERS. LAMBETH REVISING BARRISTERS' COURT.—On Satur day Messrs. Reynolds and Espinasse, the R,vising Barris ters for the borough of Lambeth, got through the entire lists of voters in the various parishes and districts, and signed them. HIGH WYCOMBE —Wednesday the electors of this place gave a dinner to the Hon. Col. Grey, one of our repre sentatives. Among the company present were Sir R. G. Russell, Bart., M.P. ; G. H. Dashwood, Esq. ; J. Thel wall, Esq. ; Dr. Mitford ; Thomas Edwards, Esq. ; C. Veuables, Esq. ; R. Lucas, Esq. ; T. B. Hobhouse, Esq., &c. One hundred and eighty sat down to dinner, and the greatest possible enthusiasm prevailed. Not the slightest doubt is entertained of the re-election of the Hon. and Gallant Member.—Bucks Gazette. Mr. Ridley Colborne is a candidate for the borough of Wells. Mr. Ogilvie, of Mortimer-street, an officer of the Peninsular Army, who had been canvassing the borough, has, it is said, resigned in that gentleman's favour. BOROUGH OF PONTEFRACT. —The Hon. H. V. S. Jer ningham has issued an address to the electors of Pontefract and the adjacent district, offering himself as a candidate for the honour of representing them in the first reformed Parliament. There appears to be an almost universal feeling in his favour. The agents of the Earl of Mex.. borough, and those of T. Houldswortb, Esq., are very busy electioneering, but no address has yet appeared from either of them. Yoitx.—The Hon. Edward Petre, the Hon. Thomas Dundas, and J, H. Lowther, Esq., are all busy canvassing the York freemen; and Mr. Bayntun was expected there on 011tntioy. WEST RIDING VOTERS.--The number of voters who have registered for the West Riding election, and whose names have been delivered to the Clerk of the Peace by the high constables, amounts to 18,200. There have been only 182 objections altogether; 86 of which were at Pudsey, made by the Blues of Leeds, and 53 at Quick, made by the Blues of Saddleworth. The Revising Bar risters have struck out a few names, and a number of voters have regisered property in more than one township. The actual number of persons entitled to vote at the ensuing election will therefore he from 17,000 to 18,000. —Leeds Mercury. BEDFORD.-The Revising Barristers for the county of Bedford, Charles Austin and Frederick Rose, Esqrs., ter urinated their labours on Tuesday last, at Biggleswade. The candidates are Lord Charles James Fox Russell, Sir Peter Payne, the present representative, bath on the Whig interest; and William Stuart, Esq., on the Tory. Sir Peter is in high spirits, and both himself and his supporters have the fullest confidence in his being again able triumph antly to defeat the Conservatives of the county of Bedford. No doubt can be entertained, even by the most presump tuous of the Tories themselves, of Lord Charles Russell's being at the head of the poll. Cantow.—The amount registered to Saturday week is 810, and of these the liberal party hold an overwhelm ing proportion. ENNlS.—Eighteen hundred registered, about 30 reject ed. A large number of claimants appeared, tenants of O'Gorman Mahon. NEwaY.—The registration closed on 'Wednesday, after 13 days' sitting from ten till five. The constituency amounts to 1,017-594 registered by the " Union Club," and 423 by the opposite party.—Newry Telegraph. COUNTY DONEGAL.—The registry is now completed. Notwithstanding the liberal construction the Barrister put on the words " beneficial interest," the number will not exceed 1,500 ; and no county can produce a more respect. able body of men than the great majority of them are. The interests in support of the present Members are ma terially strengthened. Coax COUNTS.—Mr. Hyde's addrffs to the county is a manly, unreserved, and unequivocal declaration of his opinions on most important matters affecting this country. Mr. Hyde always was, and continues, a stanch reformer, and he now proposes to extend reform to the Church, as well as to the State, to promote retrenchment, and to resist monopolies. He is opposed to the tithe laws, and for such a distribution of any tax that may be substituted as will "set at rest the: present well-founded excitement." Finally, he is in favour of a provision for the pour ; de sirous that the blessings of education should be diffused, free from sectarian influence, and that a reform of the Jury laws, as extensive as that of which England has got the advantage, should be extended to Ireland. A sincerer gentleman, or one of purer intentions, will not be returned to the new Parliament.—Corh Reporter. The number of qualified voters for Brighton are about 1,643. SHARI. PRACTICE.—At the Leicester Registration, an attorney, engaged for one of the pirties, met with a very smart retort from a freeholder, on being questioned as to his right to the property for which he claimed to vote : Attorney—Now, Sir, recollect you are upon your oath, and take care how you answer the question. Freeholder —I will, if I know how, Sir. Attorney—Pray how many years is it since you were insolvent? Freeholder— I almost forget; it is some time since. Attorney—Come, Sir, no fencing the question. The Court must have an answer. I again repeat, in what year were your circum stances embarrassed ? Freeholder—Really, Sir, I cannot, for the life of me, state the year just now. Attorney—l insist on having an answer before you leave the Court. I again repeat the question—ln what year were you insol vent ? Freeholder—Why, then, if you must know it, it was in the same year, and almost at the same time that your father was insolvent. 1 he success of WASHINGTON IRVING'S New Sketch Book, " TheAlhambra"(of which a new and cheaper edition has just appeared), promises to rival that of any of his former works. It has been justly observed that these volumes will be read by all who have a taste for the wild and pathetic with the greatest interest. The deso late, yet grand scenery of Spain, that land of song and chivalry ; the faded glories of the once-splendid Alham bra, sometime the habitation of the mighty potentates of the earth—the bright-eyed beauties of the land dancing the graceful bolero to the click of the castanets, are sketched with a vividity and freshness that enchant the', soul of the reader, and make him fancy that be walks o th ft e en d. sa t c r r o ed ground where kings and warriors have so (From the Portsmouth Herald of Sunday.) PORTSMOUTH, NOT. 10. —His Majesty's ship Larnee, 18, Commander Was. Sidney Smith, was paid advance of wages on Wednesday, and sailed on the following day for the Downs, to j'asn the squadron. The Gossamer, tender to his Majesty's ship Victory, sai%et; for Plymouth on Monday, with silver, for the Pay_ office there, and returned on Friday. His Majesty ship Spartiate, 76, Captain Rob rt Tait, went out of harbour, on Wednesday, will be paid a lvance of wages to-morrow, and sail on Tuesday for the D iwns. His Majesty's ship Nimrod, 18, Command r Lord F. Russell, sailed on Monday for Falmouth, whence she will titre nut to Lisbon despatches for Rear-Admiral Parker, and the mail. His Majesty's ship Stag, 46, Captain Nicholas Lockyer, C. 8., passed through Spithead on Friday, from Plymouth, on her way to the Downs. The French frigate La Sirene, of 60 guns, commanded by Captain Martelli, arrived yesterday from Cherburg, in search of, and to join, the French squadron under Rear- Admiral Ducrest de Villeneuve, which, it appears, have seen driven from the Downs by the severe storm on Monday last. The Emerald, tender to the Royal George yacht, pro ceeded in the early part of the week from the River foe the Downs, and r e tu r ned to this port yest er d a y, with sea- , men for his Majesty's ship Spartiate c She will join' Sr?. Pulteney Malcolm's squadron on Tuesday or Wednesdayv,. His Majesty's ship Revenge, 76, Capt. D. H. Mackay, arrived on Sunday afternoon, from Lisbon, just as the combined French and English squadron were going nut, The Revenge passed through them, and after saluting the Port Admiral she was obliged to come to for the night at St. Helen's. At d iy•light on Monday she worked up tgainst a strong bre ze to Spithead. The Revenge has been constantly at sea for the last six months. By her we learn that the attack expected to have been made on Oporto on the 26th ult. did not take place. The Mi guelites are either unable or disinclined to renew the action, and it was believed they were becoming very discontented. They continued, hoWever, to throw shells within the lines, but not one in fifty did any mischief, as they fell and buried themselves harmlessly in the gardens, while the difficulty ' of getting them from Lisbon was very great, as a bullock cart could only bring three at a time. The Con stitutionalists were in high spirits and quite confi dent of maintaining their position, having received a large number of recruits and supplies of every sort, and it was said they even meditated a sally upon the besiegers. Admiral Sartorius Was off the port, and his conduct in the late action was very highly spoken of. The Portuguese ships in the Tagus were dismantled, and, it is said, would not be able to go to sea again for ilia months. In the Tagus were his Majesty's ships Asia, Caledonia, Britannia, and Romney troop ship. Off Oporto were the Briton and Leveret. The Childers, Orestes, and /Etna were within the bar. Great efforts are making to get the Revenge ready. The men work night and day, and it is expected they will be able to con-. plete her, so that she will be paid wages to-morrow, and proceed on the following day to join Sir P. Malcolm's squadron in the Downs. Her complement is full and effective, having none on the sick-list. We are rejoiced to hear, that Mr. Vidal, the Purser of the Asia, who was recently wounded by a chance shot while on shore at Oporto, had perfectly recovered. We also hear with pleasure, that the explanation which had been given to Lord William Russell, respecting the death of his servant, had proved perfectly satisfactory to his Lordship. His Majesty's cutter Sparrow was commissioned on Tuesday by Lieutenant C. W. Riley, for the Portsmouth station; she will proceed to the Downs as soon as ready. His Majesty's cutter Seaflower, Lieutenant John Mor gan, is hourly expected from Liverpool, with volunteer seamen for Sir Pulteney Malcolm's squadron, as is like-. wise the Sylvia, cutter, Lieutenant Spark, from Jersey, His Majesty's sloop Childers,:lB, Commander Deans, is hourly expected from Lisbon, to be refitted with all de spatch to join the squadron in the Downs.

Two cutters, the Swallow and the Osprey, sailed from this port on Thursday, with volunteers for Don Pedro. The Rhadamanthus steam frigate arrived from the east ward on Sunday, with seamen for the Spartiate. The engines of this vessel answer re markably well, and were made, as well as those of the Dee steamer, by the cele brated engineers, Maudesley and Ce. The opinion that has been expressed with respect to the engines in the latter vessel appears to be incorrect. Some little trouble arose certainly from a trifling crack in the condensors of the Dee's, but the evil has been entirely remedied, and by the Last report front her, her engines are throughout in the most satisfactory state. The Rhatiamanthus proceeds to Plymouth after landing the seamen. The Pearl sailed -troin Port-au-Prince, or Jamaica, on the 9th of September. The Melville packet arrived at Buenos Ayres, from Fa'- , mouth the 29th of August. The Rainbow, 28, frotu Vostezvo, and the Rapid, 10,
