We have reason to believe that although an understanding has been come to in the Cabinet for the adoption of coercive measures against Holland, things are not in quite so advanced a stage as a Morning Contemporary of this day assumes. In the first place, it is doubtful whe ther the blockade will be a general or a partial One, and we are assured that the Northern Powe rs have not yet signified their assent to the entry of a French army into Belgium, which is intended as part of the coercive measures against the Dutch KING. It is expected, however, that as the modifications of the French Ministry have been in a pacific sense, neither of the three Powers, who are supposed to have a friendly feeling towards Holland, will oppose the entry of the French into Belgium. The Council separated yesterday without com ,ing to such a conclusion as to lay before the KING the minutes of their proceedings for his M AJESTY'S approval, and four or five days are expected to elapse ere this can be done, as it is thought decorous to communicate first with the new French Ministry. No doubt is entertained of the sentiments of the Duke de BROGLIE, the new Minister for Foreign Affairs, but eti quette, it seems, requires that he should become 4 format party to the proceedings of th e F renc h Ambass a d or h ere. 8 Ince writing the above, we have received 'clne furth er information from an authentic source. No decision has been come to for th e adoption of the coercive measures !mentioned by our Morning contemporary. It how ever, highly p ro b a bl e , th a t suc h a decision will take place in a few days, as Alie recent discovery of gross duplicity on the Part of P russia, has convinced our Cabinet of t , lie . ne cessityof c o - operat i ng cor di a ll y w i t h F rance. t a l Is not proposed at present to send a French my into Belgium. Maritime means will he t, 4t tried. Th ere i s great reason to believe that w ere would interfere unpleasantly if the French to enter Belgium in the first instance. The dent und erstanding exists between Great Britain 4 France. , t Will be seen by the extracts from the Paris 4 1 1 ers in another column, th a t we were not ril 'informed a s t o th e p ro b a bili ty o f a a'octn . n. i re Ministry being formed. With the addi xf,''',l . of M .

BARTHE will ; IL)ably counterbalanc e the effect which his own k 4l e would ot h erw i se have roduced. i be in ferred It is n o t a , that p because th e K ING k , tl 4 however, appointed a Ministry so much in con lelice With t h e views of the monied or kg 1 1(1 party, t h e present Cabinet will be disp ose d to truckle to the Holy Alli -4 e than the last. On the contrary, there It(4oniething in the re ' reputation w hi c h t h e of BROGLIE has acquired as a Li ta, 1 _ 1 ) and in the hatred which Marsh al Sour.T Olovv n to entertain for the principles of the ~i p )' Alliance faction, by whom he has been than once insulted, to guarantee a greater I degree of independence in the foreign policy of the French Cabinet than has hitherto been shown. What the home policy may be, is, however, a question very difficult to solve. The French are not easy of rule under any circum stances, and as every day gives evidence of in creasing attachment to liberty among the mass, Marshal SOULT will not be able now, if so dis posed, to subjugate so many millions to a system of Government opposed alike to the welfare and freedom of the nation whose affairs have been placed in his hands. We mentioned yesterday that the unsettled state of the Ministry in France would prevent the adoption of any more decided measures by the British Cabinet with regard to Belgium and Holland, than those which have hitherto been taken on the responsibility of Lord PALMER-. STON. Had not this difficulty occurred, how ever, the delay occasioned by the last communi cation with the Prussian Government, would have been sufficient to keep the question still open. The last accounts from Brussels have, we understand, convinced Ministers of the ne cessity of more decided conduct, and led to a determination to reject any overtures on the part of the King of HOLLAND, which should not have for their basis some gua rantee of a termination of the dispute, on the principles laid down by the Conference, and hitherto refused by the Dutch KING. It is to be hoped, for the honour of our Cabinet, and for the peace of Europe, which can only be really endangered by a want of energy and dignity on the part of the British Ministry, that the protocolizing system is near its end. The state of things in Belgium at this mo ment is such as to create considerable anxiety, and to show the importance of settling the Dutch question speedily, if it is to be settled at all. Without attaching the slightest degree of belief to the rhapsodies and exaggerations of the Brussels Correspondent of the Morn ing Herald, we know sufficient of the con dition of Belgium to feel the propriety of urging our Government to adopt a bold and decisive course, if they would prevent the first step of the Holy Alliance scheme against liberty —the restoration of the House of Nassau to the Belgian throne. The King of BELGIUM, acting strictly within the line laid down by the Constitution, of hold ing his Ministers responsible for their own acts, and carrying to an excess the spirit of toleration which was so little evinced by the former KING, has given his approval to several nominations by the Minister of Justice, which are odious to the Belgians, and, both in motive and action, mani festly unjust. The Liberals, disgusted with the conduct of M. de RAIKEM, and dreading the influence of the fanatical party, bestow upon the KING a portion of the odium which ought to attach exclusively to his Minister, and thus the weight of his name in the public mind is so diminished as to make it easy for the Orangeists to carry on their intrigues. The unnatural combination between the Orangeists and the Liberals of Belgium, which was tried here be tween the Ultra-Tories and the Ultra-Radicals, is forming, and the Orangeists boldly ask what the Revolution has achieved, and what the Bel gians can desire which a Restoration would not give ? The emissaries of the King of HOLLAND are in every part of Belgium. The gold so long hoarded up by that avaricious man, and which, if report speaks truly, was obtained by con trivances not very creditable to a King, is freely distributed in the work of corruption ; and whilst one portion of the Liberals, indignant at the apparent indifference of the honour of the nation displayed by the Belgian Ministry in its courtesies to the Conference, would appeal at once to arms, another portion, seduced by the bribes of Holland, facilitates the schemes of her agents, and embarrasses the Belgiaii KING. The only way of extricating LEOPOLD from the position in which he has been plunged by the policy forced upon him by the Conference, is to render him popular with his subjects, by giving him the means of asserting his and their rights. The odium cast upon him by M. de RAIKENI was the act of the Conference, for the nominations and destitutions which have given such offence were made with a view to promote negociations with Holland, in the sense desired by the Conference ; and the least the Members of that body can do, now that they have exposed LEOPOLD to the suspicions of his subjects, is to give to him the advantages which were pro mised as the conditions of his accepting the Crown, and which have been so pusillanimously withheld. The French Chambers are now positively convoked for Monday, the 19th of November. The Joninal de Frankfort of the 6th inst. abuses the Tinzes, and other English Journals, for their late animadversions on the Diet at Frankfort, and totally denies the reports of an army of 400,000 being formed by the Germanic Confederation for the purpose of putting down the spirit of liberalism. We think the very fact of this denial the strongest proof of its cor rectness. Brazil Papers to the 20th of August inclu sive have been received, but their contents are not important. It has been long a matter of reproach to the City of London that it has not an outlet which can be called even decent, to the magnificent roads which approach it from the north. We were the first, on the removal of the old nuisance called Fleet Market, to suggest a continuation of Far ringdon-street, as a❑ easy, cheap, and superb means of supplying so great a desideratum. The City authorities have since entertained the pro position ; but the matter appears to proceed with a slowness which augurs ill for the spirit with which it will be undertaken. We quite agree with Mr. PEA RSON that a plan ought to be agreed to before applying for an Act of Parliament, but why was not the suggestion made and acted upon long ago? We hardly understand what he means when he talks (as he did at the Com mon Council yesterday) of leaving the line of road to public competition. The proper course is for the City authorities to determine, in con junction with the Middlesex Magistrates, what line of street will best unite ornament and utility. The recent improvements in the Strand offer a fine example of the spirit in which public im provements should be prosecuted, as far as those objects are concerned. One nearer home is Lon- don-bridge, which promises to be a lasting monu ment of the enterprize and magnificence of the me tropolis. Economy is certainly not to be over looked, but our City economists may depend upon it that money saving is not always economy. The annual expenditure of foreigners in a city which had the character of being the most mag nificent, as %yell as the largest and most populous in Europe, is worthy of being taken into the calculation of the profit and loss of such an un dertaking as we now urge the City to enter upon. We direct attention to some particulars of a Reform dinner at Horncastle (at which the Right Honourable C. TENtLYSON presided), which will be found in another column. At this dinner the Honourable Mr. PELI - lAM an nounced the gratifying intelligence, that Ministers have already prepared a Bill for Church Reform, as also some measures for the speedy abolition of Negro slavery. We have just read a pamphlet (published by RIDGWAY), from the pen of Lord TEYNHAM, entitled " How it must Work," which is ad dressed to the electors of the United Empire, and puts forth many ingenious hints as to what sort of representatives they should select, and what sort of pledges they should exact from them, in order to make Reform a really sub stantial boon to the nation. In this pamphlet Lord TEYNHAM shows himself, a close, clear headed reasoner, who deals little in fine-spun theories, but invariably keeps his eye fixed on the practical working of every great question. As a Reformer, he is bold and uncompromising, to an extent indeed that were he in a condition to become a candidate for a seat in St. Stephens, would ensure his return for the most Radical town in the kingdom. After hinting at the necessity of some improvements in the Constitution of the House of Lords, so as to meet the improved spirit of the age, he goes on to discuss the policy of ejecting the Bishops from that Ilouse. " Can we," asks his Lordship, " Can we, in such a condition of the civil polity of these two great and improving nations, maintain our ex traordinary Church Establishment—the cruel and oppres sive system of tithes—the useless Cathedrals, with their enormous wealthe apanage and endowments—the merci less Protestant Church of Ireland, whose sole use is the creating riches, and earthly dominion, for the near con nections of the Minister of the day? Can we do ali this in peace and quiet, in the face of the universal feelings of men? Already the case is decided. An army of 30,005 men is requisite to collect the tithes in Ireland ; and what army will be able to collect them in England five years hence ? I, therefore, with all humility, suggest, that it becomes the House of Lords to set the first example, of a great improvement in the system of the State, by sending to the Commons a Bill of exclusion of all ecclesiastical persons from grate in the Upper House. Religion must he benefited by their exclusion. Christ and his Apostles never designed Bishops as lawgivers for men, but tell s them humbly to teach the law of God. Under all exist ing circumstances of this nation, the Bishops ought to be - f truly happy is escape those vexatious and bad feelings o the people towards them, that must result from the dis cussions on Church Reform, that will inevitably occupy Parliament in the next Session. " I, also, from the example of France and America, beg leave to propose that the age of 25, complete, should be the period when a Peer covld take his seat in the House for the future. The four valuable years to youth, from 21 to 25, should be employed in a survey of the united empire, and an investigation into all its great branches of industry, by those who claim seats in the House of Lords ; Ind in order to secure that direct attention to the high and important duties of his great station by a Peer of Parlia ment, it is incumbent on us to abandon the privilege of voting by proxy, one of the most tnonstrous legislative enactments that ever existed in this or any other country." His Lordship's query, " what army will be able to collect tithes in England five years hence ?" is well and seasonably put. Already that spirit is at work, which must either sweep them wholly away, or so modify the system as to pre vent its being any longer the incubus on agri cultural enterprise that it has hitherto been. As regards the exclusion of the Bishops from the House of Lords, that question is also hastening to its inevitable final result with pretty nearly as much rapidity as the one of tithes. Hitherto the Bishops have kept their seats in the Upper House, not as guardians of national, but of Tory, interests, consequently, with the decline of those interests, their sun also must set. With Lord TEYNHAM'S proposal for settling certain inalienable" national grants on pauper Peers, merely, as it should seem, " because some of aot b at eca all us them boa s t o f the highest lineage amongst us, " we c ‘eVscheyarheaPppeeernss t 0 00 be pensioned e a g t r h e e e i; d nt ancient ? What advantage does the nation reap from such descent ? The idea is preposterous. We have already paid so much for high lineage, that it is full time we should tie our purse-strings, and button close our pockets. His Lordship proceeds to advise that questions of the following import should be put by his constituents to every Parliamentary candidate. " These grand ques tions," adds his Lordship" are " The reduction of the interest of the Debt? " The abolition of Tithes ? " The state of the Church Property, and the justice and propriety of its application to purposes of the State? . . . _ .. " The abolition of all Excise Taxation? " An ascending Property Tax on all property, visible and tangible, for the purposes of the State ? " A cheap system of Government, and of National De fence ? " Abolition of Slavery; freedom to our Colonies, under a domestic form of Government of eheir own, and at their own expense? " A sound Monetory System, and perfect freedom in the trade of Banking ? Abolition of Bounties and Monopolies of every descrip tion ? " A general plan of Education for the people, and no Taxes on any article connected with the circulation of knowledge ? " A revision of the Union with Ireland, and alterations therein, adopted to the spirit of the age, and the wants of Ireland ? " A revision of the Free Trade System, in order to form an improved plan of Navigation Laws—the palladium of the Seas ; that, of course, includes the Corn Laws ? " A new legal code of Cheay Justice, at the public ex pense, and little occasion for Lawyers ? " A Municipal System, founded on the laws of Alfred, and Edward the Confessor ?" _ _ His Lordship sums up with a pointed and energetic appeal to the whole body of electors, in which he exhorts them to turn a deaf ear to all general professions, and return none but those who will solemnly and:specifically pledge them- selves to work out the great problem of Reform. We are glad to see a Nobleman of his Lordships eminence and sagacity a staunch advocate for the pledge system. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

This question has reached me in let era from England. has been addressed to French Peers and French Deputies, to French patriots and French public writers, by Peers, commoners, patriots and writers on your side of the Manche ; and to crown all, the question has been proposed by the organ of these ver}• doctrinnaires—even by the Journal des Debate. In my very last letter to the Chronicle I pointed out to you who were doctrinnaires, and you will recollect I mentioned the names of Broglie, Royer Collard, Bertin Devour, and Guizot. I could give you fifty ether names, but four are as good as four hundred for the sake of illustration. WHAT IS A DOCTRINNAIRE ? A Doctrinnaire is a HUD who in all times, and under all regimes in France, has at tached himself to the interests of a coterie instead of the mass, and who has contrived to keep out of view the real questions which interest the people, by metaphysical poli tics and transcendental theories. The Doctrinnaires are a sort of metaphysical political sect, who are remarkable for their esprit de corps—who make war, not by attack, but by defection—who did not take up arms against Charles X., or vote against him in the Chambers—but who would not vote at all, and who, not having the courage to be open and vigorous enemies, are satisfied with seeing those lose the day who do not follow their counsels. Their High-priest is M. Royer Collard—their Mission iry at the Chamber of Peers is the Duke de Broglie— and their ancient Parliamentary tactician is M. Guizot. They act always together—they sometimes are 11 beral—or at least more so than at others—and at other times are carried away with a love for Royalty and all that is Sovereign. Their secret is " power".—their power is " sovereignty"—their best-loved sovereignty is " legiti macy;" and their object is " place—profit—and the means of governing France by their doctrines and tenets." They always oppose national wishes. They have a pro found contempt for the " vulgar." They ask what right the people have to meddle in affairs of Government, and what right shopkeepers have to discuss systems of state policy ? They always adopt the unpopular side of each question, and have no sort of passion except it be that of the love of contradiction. A Doctrinnaire objects to Charles X. being called " Ex-King"--objects to the anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI. being abolished as a fast day, and are now ever hankering after a quasi legitimacy. The Doctrinnaires are a small party—have no young men on their side, have not more than a dozen chiefs, and a few hundred disciples in all France, and yet, by their speciousness and their talent, contrive to have all their leaders in the Chamber of De puties, or else in the chamber of Peers. They say that their party is only composed of superior spirits—and that superior spirits can alone understand them—and so they will not condescend to spe.k to us poor mortals of the " pit "—but only address themselves to the "dress boxes." But the " dress boxes " never fight—and so when a Re volution or an Insurrection arrives, the Doctrinnaires take to their heels, and you see and hear nothing more of them till they no longer run the chance of losing their heads. Their motto is " May France perish rather than a principle "—and that principle is often all nothing more than legitimacy. WHAT IS A DOCTRINNAIRE?—A Doctrinnaire is one of the members of a little political and philosophical co terie, called the doctrine. But what is the doctrine as a political party ? Let me tell you. It was born during the first revolution—but it was not courageous enough to show itself openly, till the first restoration. It laboured secretly during the last days of the Empire to bring back the Bourbon race with foreign bayonets. Its intrigues began with the emigration—and were continued during the Convention—and under the Directory, the Con sulate, and the Empire. In 1814, the doctrine or the doctrinnaires embraced the restoration as its own work, and loved it as its own child. It saw in the resoration the triumph of legitimacy, and, what was more valuable to this knot of philosophers, the triumph of the party of the doctrine. The Doctrinnaires got the best pl lets, and shouted loudest " Vive le Roi"—and when Napoleon returned for the hundred days, the Doctrinnaires, or at least the leaders, absconded to Gand, and there pub. lished for Louis XVIII. the official Moniteur 1 But when the Duke of Berry was assassinated, the Doctrin naires were turned out of office—the absolute party came into power—and then M. Guizot, Broglie, Royer Collard, &c., established a party of defection —never, however, in tending to overthrow the Monarchy, but only to get into office again. In 1830, the Doctrinnaires came forwar I to seek for place—not in order to march with the Revolu tion, but to march against it—and as the doctrine does not find itself strong enough to overthrow the Revolution, and bring back at once Henry V.—it contents itself for the present with impeding the march of liberty in other coun tries, and with endeavouring to disgust France with the Revolution of July. The system of the 13th of M irch the Doctrinnaires supported, not because they considered it the best—but because it was the least popular, and be cause they thought it would prepare the way for their arriving at power and place. This is a Doctrinnaire! ! Now you will not he surprised that we wish to keep these persons out of office—and that their failure during the last seven days has inspired the nation with unqua lified satisfaction. The Doctrinnaires ruined the Resto ration, and now they seek to ruin the royalty of the Bar ricades. But France is on her guard--and they will this time find that their party is powerless. An out-and-out Royalist is an honest man, who has adopted a bad system ; but a Doctrinnaire is a dishonest man, who has adopted no system but a selfish and mercenary one. An out-and out Royalist may love his country as well as his King ; hut a Doctrinnaire loves neither, except they are subser vient to his views and his interests. This is a Doctrin naire ! and you cannot be surprised that we wish to keep him out of power and office. O. P. Q. The Earl of CLONMELL is gone to Ireland to sojourn a few weeks at his seat in Clonmell.

SCOTT.—Last week a meeting of the friends and admirers of Sir WALTER SCOTT took place at Mr. MURRAY'S, in Albemarle-street, when Lord DOVER was called to the chair; and, after some conversa tion it was agreed to appoint a Committee of Noblemen and Gentlemen to consider of the best means of testifying their respect for the memory of the mighty dead. Since that period many distinguished persons have been asso ciated in the design, the particulars of which we trust very speedily to communicate to the public.—Literary Gazette. INTENDED GRAND PAGEANT AT DRURY LANE THEATRE IN HONOUR OF SIR WALTER SCOTT,— Saturday Rob Roy is to be acted at Drury-lane, with all the strength of the house. At tie close of it a view of Abbotsford, the late residence of Sir WALTER, which is said to be one of the finest things STANFIELD has ever done, will be presented. The principal characters of the " Waverley" novels will then pass in procession as those Of SHAKSPEARE's plays did in GARRICK'S jubilee.— MACREADY, COOPER, BRAHAM, HARLEY, and all the principal actors, will assist on this occasion, which, besides being a well-timed compliment in honour of departed genius, will furnish a spectacle such as has rarely been wit nesstd on the boards of a theatre. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.--WC are sorry we cannot give a favourable account of the revival of All's Well that Ends Well. Why it is chosen for representation at Covent-Garden we cannot imagine. To those of the audience unacquainted with the play as writ ten, it must, last night, though more than half omitted and reduced to three acts, have been as tedious as it was unmeaning. The music, original, and selected by LAcy, was not of a character to redeem it from its pervading dulness; and the two ladies and the gentleman who divided the songs between them never sang so little to the satis faction of the audience, as, we fear, their ears must have frequently and painfully certified to them. They appeared as though merely rehearsing the music ; and this is the most charitable construction to put upon their deficiencies, as it does not imply a fear that they will do no better on repetition. A masque, not in the original, was introduced in the first act. It was formed of an episode from the Midsummer Night's Dream, and, though by no means what it might or should have been, was the most pleasing part of the performance. The house was well attended. We can add one proof to the many which daily present themselves of the respect in which the memory of Sir WALTER SCOTT is held in England by all classes of the people. In the Loves of Me Devils, now performing at the New Strand Theatre, the " Gentleman in Black," who rules in Hades,is made to refer to certain recent deaths in this: upper world, and among others to that of young NAPOLEON, of numberle:s Poles, and, lastly, to that of Sir WALTER. SCOTT. The Monarch pronounces them all profitless to him : the first had never ascended a throne, and was, therefore, unstained by crime ; the second had died in defence of their country, and of the third he observed, that he had not written a line which even he could carp at. The sentiment is every Hight received with shouts of applause by the audience. The reci•ption of the Pageant (it it be the kind of thing we hope to see) at Drury-lane to-night, will however afford another test of the state of public feeling in London, which caunot but be highly gratifying to our northern friends. BLOOD! BLOOD!! BLOOD!!! ANOTHER, TITHE SLAUGHTER. The police, yesterday morning, proceeded from Piltown to Ballygorey, a village within about five miles of this city, in the county of Kilkenny, to post notices for tithe claimed by the Rev. Francis Newport, which they commenced doing by putting one on a pump in the above village. While in the act of doing so, some women and children, with a few men and boys, came up, and followed them, shouting at intervals. After they had posted the notice, they then proceeded through the village, which is one of the most populous in the county, without being in the smallest degree molested. On reaching the upper part of the village the police went into the fields, and were exercised in several military evolutions, as if to prepare them for the dreadful work which they were about to perform. They then proceeded towards Monveen, a village on the banks of the Suir, belonging to Mr. Congreve, and im mediately opposite to Mount Congreve, and when about h ilf-way they turned into a field, and were a second time exercised. They then crossed through the fields towards Carrigeen, without meeting the least obstacle or annoy ance, ► xcept an occasional shout from the crowd that fol • lowed them, which consisted of about 250 persons, prin cipally women, but who now received an addition to their numbers from the children of the parochial school, about tO of whom joined them. The crowd thus formed were scattered in detached groups through the fields, and now and then continued to shout after the police. They had no weapons of any description ; there were no stones thrown, nor was there any disposition shown on the part of the people to give the least opposition to the pollee. The crowd were now ordered by the commander of the police to disperse, which they did not do ; for hiv ing no intention to commit a breach of the p‘ ace themselves, they thought the police would not do so either. The police, at this time, were on the road, and the people inside in the fields, but at such a distance as not to bear any conversation that occurred between the commander of the party and the police. The police shortly afterwards went into a field, a little elevated ov, r he one in which the people were, and the commander of the party again ordered the people to disperse, which was answered by another shout from the women and children, immediately after which the police commenced in indiscriminate fire among the unsuspecting and de fenceless peasantry, and melancholy to relate, one young' woman, aged 17 years, was shot dead !—a young lad, named Joseph Sinnott, the only son of a widow, was mortally wounded ; he was shot in the small of the back, and the ball passed out at the abdomen ; another, also a wen lad, a servant to a farmer, received a ball in the cheek, which passed out at the opposite side, and shattered eis tongue; a third young man was also wounded. Since the above was put in type, a respectable person! called at our office, and informed us of some circumstance!, attending the horrible affair, which, if true, proves pretty' clearly that some of our Conservative police are infinitely more barbarous than the savage Indians of America. When the people Bed, after having been fired on, the po lice went to the spot where they had been standing, to sscertain the number of the peasantry who were killed arid wounded; amongst the latter was Smoot, the young mars through whose body a ball had passed, and who was ly tog in the most excruciating agony when the police came up. One or two of the ruffians laid hold of him by the shoulder, and dragged him about the field, vociferating that the bloody rascal was not dead yet !" A poor crip• pie, who obtains a livelihood by selling a little hardware to the farmers, and who was amongst the crowd when the liming commenced, being unable to run • away, lay down oehind a hedge, and was there discovered by a policeman, who, whilst the unfortunate cripple was calling for mercy deliberately fired his gun at him; the ball passed through the breast of his coat, and grazed his waistcoat, fortunately without doing Lim any further injury. On their return through Rathkyran, those heroes en , tered a public-house, and, as they were drinking, patted each other on the back in exultation for the feat they hail performed. We received the account of this horrible af fair at too late an hour to make any comment on it. Dr. Briscoe, of this city, has been out to attend the un • fortunate victims, and was horrified at seeing the manner in which they were mangled, from the nearness at which the shots must have been fired. The man whose face was shattered is to be brought into Waterford this morning, to be under the care of Dr. Briscoe. The unfortunate young girl who was shot is now lying waking in the vil lage of Luffmny. The village is crowded with the people o f the surrounding districts, furious with rage and indig nation. A coroner's inquest is to be held this day on the b idy of this poor young woman ; an opportunity will there by be afforded of bringing te light all the atrocities of this horrid slaughter. We understand that several of the citi• .ns of Waterford have determined on going to the place to witness the investigation. We trust that sonic legal gentleman from this city will take up this matter, as Mr. O'Connell has taken up time carnage at Wallstowu. The Wool of an innocent young woman, shot in her native village, is crying aloud for vengeance.—Waterford Chro nicle, of Tuesday. The Cabinet Ministers who assembled at the residence of Sir JAMES GRAHAM, at the Admiralty, on Wednesday evening, were Viscounts INIELBOURNE, PA L NIERSTON, ALTHORP, and Mr. STANLEY. The principal members of the Administration were, however, absent. The LORD CHANCELLOR and the Marquis of LANSDOWNE were then out of town, and Earl GREY tray at East Sheen. Ile Council was held, it is said, for the purpose of con sidering the proceedings to be adopted by Sir PULTEN EY ‘TALCOL3I, who on that day had a long interview with the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Naval Council of the empire. Lord DURHAM proceeded on his special mis sion to St. I'etersburgh the second week in June, and was consequently absent exactly four months. His Lordship says he was treated with great kindness by the EMPEROR, who gave several entertainments in honour of the English Envoy Extraordinary. Lord DURHAM'S return from Russia leaves two of the principal Continental Courts without British Ministers of die rank of Ambassadors, and no successor has yet been appointed to repl ice Sir SritAT roan CANNING at the Ottoman Porte. Dr. BowRING left town last night, on his re turn to Paris, where he is gone to resume his official I,kbours. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL is still in Ox.. turd, and no doubt remains that his visit is for an elec -ioneering purpose, as we know that he has canvassed and received many promises of support. Nothing at present beyond conjecture can be known what would be the result •If a contested election for this city with Sir CITA RLES for one of the candidates. We understand the voters to be in number little short of 2,300. Of these about two-fifths Corm the new constituency, and it is from that body chi, fly Sir CHARLES is thought likely to derive his prospect of uccess--a supposition which, if true, is a most paradoxical commentary on the effects of a Bill, upon the merits of which public opinion has been co long and 60 hostilely divided.--Since writing the above, Sir CHAS. WETHERELL has announced himself a candidate.— Oxford Journal. It seems certain that a fourth Judge, in the room of the late Sir ALBERT PELL, will not again be ap - pointed to the Court of Review. The fact has been lately :ortnally announced by the Chief Judge ERSKINE in open Court. It is said that, besides Sir PETER LAURIE, here is only another inst ince on record of a Scotchman having been dected Lord Mayor of London—that of Alder man SttAW, who occupied the Civic Clytir some years igo. Sir PETEa's election is made a matter of no little importance north of the Tweed. "To Scotchmen it must he particularly gratifying," says an Edinburgh I'aper, " to •ce one of themselves unanimously and spontaneously chosen to fill the office of Chief Magistrate of the first city in the world." Lord NUGENT was to embark yesterday af ternoon at Plymouth for his Government in the Mediter- ranean. TILE QUARTERLY DIVIDENDS.—Thus morning the Quarterly Dividends commenced payin:T at the Bank of England, amounting to about seven millions sterling. The attendance of the public at the Bank was not so numerous as on many previous occasions, and the d..rnand for gold is not by ray means extensive. ne banking interest signed for their dividends yesterday. Tile several portions of the public debt upon which the divi dends are now payable are the Reduced Annuities, the per Cents., the 3i per Cent.

This morning, at a quarter past seven o'clock, a meet ing took place in a field (near West End, on the New North Road), belonging to Mr. Baker, a farmer, residing at Hampstead, between Captain Arcu,, an officer on half pay, and Mr. M'Donald, a private gentleman. The meet ing arose out of a dispute at a tavern at the West End, respecting Colonel Jones, as a representative fur the borough of Marylebone, who the Captain maintained was far more preferable than Berkeley Portman, E.q. ; words arose which the Captain considered to be insulting to him as a gentleman, and demanded immediate satisfaction, which was accepted. Captain A. and his friends were on theground nearly ten minutes before Mr. M'Donald arrived, on account of the post-boy mistaking West End Road for the New North Road. On his arrival the ground was immediately measured, and the hostile parties took up their positions at twelve paces diAant ; on the signal being given, they both fired, without effect. The seconds inter ceded, for a reconciliation ; but the Captain was inexo rable, and demanded a second fire. On which he received the contents of his ant igoniq's pistol through the pistol arm, above the elbow. Mr. M'Donald immediately ad vanced to the Captain, shook hands, and quitted the field with his friends. A surgeon, a friend of C2ptain A.'s, who accompanied him to the field, bound up the wound, and he was led off the ground to a chaise that was waiting for them, and proceeded to town with all possible speed. The meeting was to have taken place at 7 o'clock. TIIE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWEL VE 0' CLOCK. The only arrival this morning of consequence is a mail from the Brazils brought by his Majesty's ship Plover, which sailed on the 21st of August. The papers are not of importance; all was tranquil there: exchange 43 44, stocks 43k. THE FUNDS. For some time p Ist the public and our City specu lators have been agitated by the incapability of the King of France and Marshrl Soult to form a new administra tion. This not only caused a stagnation in the operations of the funds, but likewise had an elf ct on the decision of the Conference and Privy Council, in regard to the decided measures to be taken to bring the affairs of Holland and 13elgium to a speedy settlement. At length the public are relieved by an express from Paris, with the officitl appointment of the new French Ministry ; but various are the opinions in regard to its sta bility, a. it is not an administration which will be popular in France, but only tends to consolidate and strengthen the King's power for the present. At all events it will have the effect of bringing his Dutch Majesty to a speedy set tlement on the Belgian question, as it now appears that France and England have come to a determination to blockade the Scheldt, and reduce the citadel of Antwerp. Surely Holland cannot resist long ; her commerce is every thing to her, and if she attempts the destruction of Ant werp by bombardment, a French army is ready to take ample revenge. Therefore we are still of opinion that his Dutch Majesty only waits for an excuse to state to his na tion that he is compelled to make peace, as it would be madness on his part to make resistance against the Five Powers. Consols, which left off yesterday at 841, opened at 84i sellers, and are at present 844 buyers, with little doing ; therefore the hostile operations going to take place against Holland have had but little effect on our funds. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. No information at present from HALF--PAST ONE. Madras papers to the 9th of June, and Qubec to the 12th of September, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. (From the Quebec Papers.) Some deaths take place at private residences, from cho lera, but a much improved state of health no doubt exists. The ho•pital reports for these last few days are the same -1 death, and 1 admission eich day Sixteen cases remain, 12 of which are convalescent. (From the Madras Papers. They state that the war at Nanning continues, and up to the 26th of April, 28 stockades were taken. Four 14 a - five chiefs, from different parts of the Peninsular, were at Nanning aiding and assisting the Government. We have conversed with the well-informed in respect to the blockade of the Scheldt, wbo give it as their opinion, that it may still be prevented by the negociations which are at present going forward at the Hague on the part of the King of Prussia, who is very anxious to bring this im portant affair to a speedy adjustment. Therefore, we must wait a few days before we can officially announce that im portant event. The private letters from Rio JAneiro, by the mail, are very favourable. Produce was then ten per cent. higher than in England, and for which there was a great de mand. A small loan was expected to take place to pay off the English claims. Exchange, 43:1 1 44.

THREE O'CLOCK. Consols for Account, Sq i. Some of the illiberal journals are depreciat ing the military talents of Sir JOHN MILLET DOYLE, who has just started for Oporto, to assist the cause of justice and the Constitution against a despot and an usurper. We suppose that the Duke of WELLINGTON is some judge of military merit, and it may be presumed that he would not have recommended Sir JOHN DOYLE to he a Knight of the Bath, nor have invested him with a separate and distinguished command in Spain, had he not been eon. vinced that he was worthy of such distinctions. A more gallant soldier than Sir JOHN does not live, and the honours conferred on him by his Chief imply that lie was in every respect an efficient officer.— Times. The Journal de la Halle states that CHARLES X. has opened a very large account with a banking-house of Hamburg—a circumstance refuting the assertion put forth by the correspondent of a London Paper, that his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON is collecting subscriptions for the Ex-King of FRANCE among the Tories in London. The Duchess d'ANGOIJLEME and the daugh ter of the Duke de BERRI arrived at Nuremberg on the 2d instant, and set out the same day for Ratisbon. It is said that the Emperor of AUSTRIA and the King of PRUSSIA will have an interview at Toplitz.

The Dutch lay it down as a maxim, that every man who contracts debts lives at the expense of his fellow-citizens, if be be poor; and of his heirs, if he be rich.
