DIRATIpi PrtiSS.l Before, these, lines, shall have. reached the greatei Fiartfor. our readers, the .remains of the Unfortinate Marquis of Londonderry will have baeli consigned to .the grave that . has been pre pared' fer'theid in Westminster Abbey. The body of this distinguished Statesman is to repose uclitith by the side of William Pitt, of whom he ever 'boasted espeaarly - to` be the . friend and follower. When Lord — Londonderry first" ap publid' life,' the' political world' was di vided liy'thenarnes'or Fox - and : Pitt. To' theie persOns throughout the ertipliel' looked uV.as--. the' 'presiding Genii, as if Wry alone' were' qualified" to dispute the em pire' of 'the'universe-; and we have the 'autho rity of the Earl . of. Charlernont, that at a very early' period` of Lord Londonderry's life he avowed himself to be the devoted adhe rent of . William . Pitt: . le would lie impos sible to deterinine,- after 'the - death of Mr. Pitt,. hdififar :the dregi of 'his party evinced' a Coniis= teticy with the great principles upon which the g.reat' roaster...spirit . professed' to' act ; but we Mak - it cannot be doubted; that the circum statiees-of public affairs had altered very essen tially between the' time of the: death of. Wil liazzr. Pitt and the eventual accession of LOrdi Liretpool. and' Castlereagh to office, and that consequently the' spirit of 'Mr, Pitt's gOvern tnetrt is no more to- be regarded in endearour ink to- estimate . the .character• of his successor, thew that of. his' father,cliord Chatham, or any other- :Minister: who .evel% occupied a seatin the Council .Chamber, For oimown parts, we- look upon Lord Loadonderrn.lit. opposition to the. sentiments of his:professed adherents, as entitled tolkconsiderationsomewhat higher. than they are disposed - , to grant to. him, and that to us he ap pears.to. he a Minister of oriblnal views, acting-in scenes t otally distinct in. kind and characterfrom any hi which Mr. Pitt had been engaged, and that in urging. his- way through them he could have receivedli.ttle or na . assigtance from any of the recorded opinions of. him who-was presumed to be Lord Londonderry's prototype. • [MORNING POST.] iris Papers to the 18th instant reached us list n!glit by express.

But casting aside these extremes of both parties, which are _really not worth consideration, and viewing the. conflict in its true character, is it such as to alarm any reflecting person for the improvement . an - d independence of mind in Eu rope ? The best way to judge is to look at the result, as far as the parties have hitherto con tended—that is, since the fall of Buonaparte. There can be no doubt that Europe in general has, since that period, enjoyed more political and intellectual liberty than before. [NEW TIMES.) Under the date of 'St.- Petersburgh are given some remarks from the Conservateur Impartial 'on the affairs of Spain. "It be useful," says that paper," to'remark with regard to Spain (as we have already done with regard to Greece) that the most contradictory accounts come from the same point. It must not be lost' sight of, that, in a revolution, the predominant faction prescribes all truth which is unfavourable to itself, and that then all news, although invested with the specious character of being official, nevertheless, leaves the'reader in uncertainty.— It is essential, then, to recollect in'strch a state of things that we' must pay more attention to facts than to assertions, always clearing the latter from the revolutionary jargon which proves so attractive with the multitude. It is not less essential to remark thenames which the-revolu tionists apply to those who oppose their system .of destruction; they call them rebels and insur gents—expressions no more applicable to them ', than to the man who defends his life or his purse from highway robbers. Every subject who rises against a legitimate overnment is a rebel and an insurgent : the' word insurgent applies more particularly to colonies which:. strive to shake off the yoke of the mother country. As to the epithets of bandits, brigands, kc. lavished by the popular party on their opponents, we know that it was thus that the French Jacobins called the Royalists of La 'Vendee. Thus, in order to read the news from Spain, ivithout , the confusion resulting from the abuse of words, the factious of all ranks should be called communeros, exaltados, descamisados, anarchists. They have not even the right to call themselves Constitutionalists, for they have not been constituted,; and as long as they shall persist in an absurd and monstrous accumu lation of usurped powers, they can never produce a constitution. The party on the other side may justly have the titles of Rnyalists, Army of the Faith, &c., beeause they - defend the altar, the throne, the liberties, the institutions of their country, and wish to annihilate or repress the efforts and the audacity of that class of men, who having nothing to lose, but every thing. _to gain by troubles, are always ready to overturn social order, of which they are in all places and at all times the declared enemies." [TUE TIMES.] We stated yesterday a few facts concerning the well-known borough of Iltiester, and its worthy patron; and we are this dey enabled to Ibring foi•ward some further circumstances, tend- I to throw a more distinct light upon the nature and objects of that conscientious vigilance which Sir Wm. Manners appears to exercise over the morality of Ilchester, - and of its electors. In those boroughs which enjoy the sort of patronage extended to. Ilchester by Sir Wm. Manners, the occupiers of certain houses vote for Mem bers of Parliament : these are' usually let at small or nominal rents to the occupiers, on a well-understood condition that they al ways vote for whatever person shall be named as a Candidate by the Landlord. It thence becomes his obvious policy to limit the number of electors within such bounds' as' shall enable him to manage them' with the least possible difficulty— or, in other words, to make his borough as saw , and close as he can. If, therefore , he find; but two dozen of inhabited houses, yielding each a constituent . for the representative whom he .may ordain ,to : be chosen, he will probably consider a 'little befOre - , he enlarges the' num ber of habitations to four dozen or more. If, on the other hand, the property, when, :it devolves to him by descent, purchase, or otherwise, exhibits such a list of inhabitant voters asit may cost some trouble to• keep in subordination, or as may expose the-proprietor to some risk of ,oppo sition in the event of anew' Parliament,he seeks to strengthen himself by all means that are con sistent with the practices of a gentleman, and,with the feelings of humanity. He strives-to conci liate his tenants, to render .them more comfort able, and himself and his family more esteemed and beloved. If he be a brute and a barbarian, he will resort to other methods--he will Oppress and . barass, that be may finally exterminate:. He will at every opportunity, fair or unfair l oust . the poor voters from their 'humble dwellings,until he haS reduced' the constituents of his free arcl' happy. borough within,. more tractable dimensions, and retained . jtt - W so much of the old stock as will furnish' materials for - his . septennial cargo to St. Stephen's.

We have received Nassau Papers to the 3d o July. The following are extracts : FItOM THE PAPEIt OF JUNE 12. Mr. David Sturrup, Master of the sloop, Sarah Margaret, of this port, on a turtling voyage, fell in with the United States schooner, Shark, commanded by Lieutenant Perry, at Anguila on the 4th inst. Lieutenant P. treated him with great polite ness, and offered him any supplies the might requiie. FROM THE PAPER OF JUNE 19 COLONIAL TRADE.-At the moment that the Americans sale straining every nerve to obtain a share in the trade of the British West India Islands, and that his Majesty's Govern ment are about to Second their views, by relaxing its long esta blished Navigation - Laws, to which•both the Mother Country and her Colonies ate so greatlyindebted for their prosperity—a Resolution' is actually before the Aniericaa Senate, to institute an inquiry into the expediency of prohibiting by heavy duties the- importation of foreign spirits into the United States. This measure is expected to be strongl y advocated by several re spectable Members of that body, an d, of course, is calculated to defeat entirely 'the sanguine hopes of the West India Planters and Merchants in that branch of the trade.

From the - Durhamlverther, Aug.l7. nifiM'BLuE Coal' SciiooL.—The first public exami nation of the boys instructed in this School took place on Thurs day; the Bth inst. In consequence of it not having been agreed that the examination should be a'public one until it was too late to. have it made generally known, the company present was not great, but several of the gentlemen of the Weekly Committee at tended, as also the Rev. T. Baker, M.A. Rector of Whitburn, and the Rev. R W. Bamford, as General Visitor of the Schools in union with the Diocesan Society. The first matter for inspec tion was the performance of every boy in the school on slate, one side of which %va4;Bled with writing close and neat; and the other side with - tables in the lower .classes, and sums in the higher ones;' " Every slate was obserYed to be dated at the first corner, ind the . page from which the writing Was copied in the other. The writing and cyphering copies of the first class were next examined, and found to be very neat and regular.— ' One hi:Weer:l hand very generally prevailed, and it was highly gratifying to witness the repta progress the higher classes haye made in accounts, and the due attention that is paid to the dates in the chihering-boOks. In the next place, every dais was re gularly examined in their reading, spelling, cyphering, tables, and religious' instruction. They were found particularly per-, fect in their spelling and religious instruction_ , to the latter of which too much attention cannot be paid, to promote as much as possible,the desirable object the pious founder and supporters Of this valuable ihstittition haye in view. During the examma tion, the school was in the most perfect silence, every boy being happily employed, which is the beauty Of the Madras System. The children, in going through their various exercises, were steady and attentive, and acquitted themselves in a manner highly gratifyin to all present, and reflected infinite credit on Mr. Goundry, their Mister. BA Rfint(lT ON SC it 0 0 L.—The annual public examination of the children instructed in the Barrington School, Bishop Auck land, took'place on Friday the 9th inst. The writing on slates, and on copies; which:Me rank; was first inspected, and found re gular, neat, and bold. Each class was then examined in read ing, spelling, cyphering, and religious instruction. '1 he clear enunciation, the order, and the attention of the lower classes; Were astonishing. They were quite perfect in their several ex ercises, as well as in the mode of learning and repeating them, in taking places, &c. "The chaste and distinct tone of reading, the intelligence displayed in breaking the lesson into questions and answers, and the general performance of the upper classes, called forth -the unqualified approbation of all who hard them. The, proficiency -in religious knowledge was particularly pleas ing. While the institution itself, the noblest act of individual benevolence of the age, erected and ,endowed by the illustrious and munificent Prelate of this Diocese, claims our admiration. We cannot but rejoice that its internal management is so well calculated to attain the objects his Lordship had in view—the religious education of all the poor children in the town and neighbourhood, and the instruction of inasters in the new system of education for other schools in the Diocese. In the public annual examination of the school, two ends are proposed :-Ist, to ascertain the real state of the school—(and hero it is but right, to mention - , that Mr. Wilmot, the 'taster, had no pre vious • knowledge of the time of the examination, till it was announced in our paper of the 3d instant, so that no par ticular preparation could have been made) ; and, second, that the masters of the different schools in the diocese hand their visitors as well as the public at large) might ave - a petiOdicif opportunity of witnessing - the prac tices of the Madras Syttem in its purity, and be thus enabled to preserve' in all the large schools one uniform, regular, and effective plan of teaching. There were present at the examine tion,.besidea general spectators, the Rev. T. Baker, and T. H. Faber, Esq. • as Visitors •, the Rev. R. W Bamford, General- Visitor, of the Schools in' Union with'the Diocesan Society, and the masters of the following schoola :—Clerical Jubilee School, Newcitstle;--the mistress 'of the girls school also attended ; Na tional School, Gateshead; Blue Coat School, Durham ; En d Owed School; Fleighington ; National School, South Shields ; ditto, Barnard Castle ; ditto, Darlington ; ditto, Middridge ; ditto, Stanhope; ditto, Eastgate; ditto, Boltsburn • ditto West Gate; ditto, St. John's Chapel; ditto, Wearshead; ditto, Hether.- lydeogh, all in Weardale ; ditto, Washington; ditto, IThitburn. A' dinner was, prepared for the masters, and the travelling expences of thoSe who came from a distance were clefrayed, at the desire - of the noble and benevolent founder of this valuable institution. Professor Pillans and Prince Czattoryiki visited the Barring ton School on Thursday the Bth instant, and expressed high satisfaction in wirnessing the adthirable order and proficiency of the children. Grouse shooting commenced on Monday last, arid we hear that the sport has been excellent,—the birds are unusually plentiftil, yet something more than birds hfrie bceti shot.- A poor Mow, named CoWilson, a tailor, belonging to Woisirighant;having the to accompany a dashing yourig Military Officer over, the - moors in that .neighbourhood, in, the capacity of guide, he was provided with all the materiel of war, arid'as a brandy: bottle was considered ,indispensable, one filled td the'cork with genuine Cognitte was safely deposited, in his haverSaCk. The' word " march" being given,. they set out on their work of Slaughter. The day, was warm, and the exercise severe—warmth produced thirst, and exercise lassitude. To satiate the former and overcome the latter, recourse was had to the stinfillating spirit, which takirig,due effect, the son 'of Mars,. *like a " . giancrefreshed," again sallied forth in search of ad verittres. sOon . he levelled his piece, and brought down his object`;; but whether he aimed at it under an idea that it was an erierny, or a. moor cock, we are not infOrmed, but he unquestion. ably winged the tailor !

The theatre was extremely full. —The dinner at the Star Inn yesterday was attended by all the rank and; fashion in the' neighbourhood., It con sisted of every' delicacy in season, and was served . by Mr. Guy, in a manner calculated to increase the pa tronage he has so well deserved, by hid - Constant ,at tention to the wishes of his friends.

INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—Yesterday Benjamin Brooke:was brought up a third time for re-examination on a charge of forgery. The whole of the evidence taken on the former examinations was read over by Mr. Woods, the clerk.—Mr. ALLEY was for the prosecution, and Mr. PLATT for the defence—James Turner, Isaacson's clerk, who was examined before, swore that the paper produced was his handwriting,. -which he was doubtful of before—this was the copy of the check with the endorst rrient ; he also swore that about a fortnight ago he saw the check (that is,' since Brookes has been in custody). It will be recollected before that Brookes said, in presence of the Judge, when at the Judge's Chambers, that he had destroyed the check ; and 'he, witness, swore further, that. last December he saw Clarke sign his name to that very check, and that another gentleman, named Arthur, was present when Clarke signed his narne.—The parties ,ere bound over to prosecute (except the prosecutor Clarke, who was absent), and he was fully com mitted' fat trial. . Laiirrt H-STREET.—SAtRILEOE.—James Scott was exa. mined, charged with felonies coming under the above denomi nation.—lt appeared that "a few evenings back, during divine service at Sion Chapel,'Mile-end New Town; the prisoner was detected by the chapel keeper in the act of opening a large chest containing books, which stood in the end of the chapel,. and on his being searched' y an officer who took 'charge of him, a num. ber of duplicates for - divine books were found on him. The officer by diligent inquiry discovered that three of these books deposited at the pawnbrokers belonged—one to Mr. Gregg, of 13, City-road, and the other two to a Mrs. Nainfain, ID, Bow -ling-green-lane, Queen-street, Southwark. These parties attended yesterday and identified the books as having been -stolen from Albion Chapel, Moor-fields, in April last, emit° be their property. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. GUILDHALL.—ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A very decent looking mah Was brought up .yesterday before Mr. Alderman' • Lucas, by Smith, the Warden of Blackfriars-bridge, through whose exertions he had been prevented from throwing himself over the bridge into the Thames. The poor fellow it seems, climbed to the top . or the ballustrade, about 11 o'clock on Sun day forenoon, and was in the very act of throwing himself off, seized by two passengers and detained till the officer came up, who finding him quite, cool and apparently sensible of his rash conduct, upon his promising to go immediately home, suffered him to depart. No sooner, however ' was he at liberty than"he made a second attempt, in which he had very nearly succeeded, 'and it was with the greatest difficulty Smith was able to pre vent his falling into the river. He begged earnestly to be per mitted to go, but Smith, after his second attempt, feltit his duty to conveyy, him to the Compter. On his examination yesterday, it appeare be was a journeyman carpenter, in the employ of Sir. Hawkins, of Star Corner, Bermondsey. His wife attended be fore the Magistrate, with an infant at her breast, and explained, as the cause of his rash attempt, that they had been labouring under some pecuniary difficulty. The prisoner appearing sen sible of his misconduct, and disavowing all intention of repeat- Mg it, was discharged.
