Subscriptions for the Relief of the Poorer Classes of Suf ferers,to be apportioned by the Legislatures of these Colonies. Public attention is again most earnestly solicited to the destitute condition of the sufferers from the late hurri cane, as the amount subscribed up to the present time for the poorer classes alone will alleviate in a very small degree their extreme distress. The losses sustained by all classes (calculated in one island only at nearly 2,000,000/. sterling) having beeu so severe as to prevent the hitherto opulent from reinstating themselves, they are of course entirely precluded from ren dering any assistance to their poorer brethren, whose wants, therefore, cannot be supplied but by the humane and liberal contributions of the people of this country. Subscriptions will continue to be received at the under mentioned Bankers, and any further particulars will be given on application to J. P. Mayers, Esq., Colonial Agent for Barbados, 60, St. James's-street ; or to J. Cul quhoun, Esq., Colonial Agent for St. Vincent, 12, St. James's - place.

The Highland Society of London gave a public dinner to the Ettrick Shepherd on Saturday, at the Freemasons' ,Tavern, where the Bard was wel comed by his countrymen with the most friendly congratulations. After the routine toasts of the evening, the President, Sir GEORGE MURRA Y, proposed the health of Mr. HoGG, in a speech of great energy, de fining the obstacles against which he had to contend, and which he had, at last, fairly surmounted ; and as some acknowledgement of the estimation in which the Society held him fur his numberless loyal and national songs and poems, he (Sir GEORGE), by appointment of the Society, admitted him an honorary member thereof, and, at the same time, presented him with a splendid silver medal, which he hung round the Shepherd's neck. The House of Commons was occupied to a late hour last night with a question amounting in substance to this—whether the LORD CHANCELLOR of Ireland or the MAsTEn of the RoLLs should be entitled to a (-en/an share of the spoil of the people of that country, taken under the name of fees. The LORD CHANCELLOR. claims the nomination of the secretary of the MAsTiiit of the ROLLS, which is contrary to the practice in England, and he will taut allow the right to be tried. A Bill had been brought in to allow the question to be tried. Last night it was moved that the Bill should be committed, when a strenuous opposition was made by Ministers, and espe cially by Mr. STANLEY. In a House of 172 Members, Ministers had only a majority of four—a pretty clear indi cation of the injudicious policy of allowing themselves to be dragged through the mire by Lord Pl:Nl:arr. We may observe that Lord PLUNKETT'S name seldom comes before the public, except with reference to some shabby squabble about money matters. The feeling of the inde pendent part of the House seemed to he decidedly against the claim of Lord PLUNKETT, and the enemies of Mini sters have rejoiced at the course they pursued. When Mr. HENRY GRATTAN said that Lord PLuNicETT bad invari ably shown the greatest indifference about fees, a laugh, and cries of " Oh !" frrmi the Opposition, silenced him. What a situation for the Chief Magistrate of a country to be in!--Morning Chronicle. KENNY, THE DRAMATIST.—Mr. K. was travelling in Ireland, where the roads had ben tended by the " finest pisantry its the world," and of course were nearly impassable. Suddenly KItNNY, who writes better than he rides, was thrown off. " Hollua !" said his friend, " that is not the way to Cork." " No," said KENNY, " but it's the way to Kill-Kenny. THE RURAL POPULATION OF ENGLAND. —We understand that the New Monthly Magazine, in pursuance of its avowed intention to include in the graver portion of its contents those momentous national topics hitherto chiefly discussed by the Quarterlies, will offer, in its ensuing number, an article on The State of the Rural Population," with the triple object of describing the ac tual situation of the peasantry in connection with the classes above them, of discovering the causes of the ex isting distress and demoraliz►tion among the former, and of propounding what has been so long vainly looked for, some aianple and efficient plan of relief. Mr. LANDON (to the prisoner).—Do you wis h ask to the witn e ss an y qu es ti on ? P r isoner—No ; it is nearly correct what both witnesses bare stated, only the last wit ness this made a trifling mistake. It was not on Friday that I saw Mr. Phillips. The order was giv-u, I sup pose, on Friday, in consequence of a letter I sent to Mr. Phillips on the Thursday, informing him that I should come to the office, furnished with fire-arms, and make use of them if I found it necessary, but I dare say that he has destroyed my letter. Mr. LENDON (to the prisoner)—Do you wish to send for any of your friends ? Prisoner—Oh, no; certainly not. Mr. LENDON—Do you wish to give any explanation for such conduct ? Prisoner—l can explain if I thought pro per. Mr. Phillips knows I can explain. Mr. LENDON—De you still refuse to give your name ? P , isoner—l do, at present. Mr. LENDON told the prisoner that it was his duty to remand him until the following day, and he was re moved in custody. (No. 12,308.) URSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 23, 1832. Yesterday morning the prisoner was taken to the Secretary of State's office for further examina.ion, to en ileavour to elicit the reason for his extraordinary conduct. Mr. WHITE, the Magistrate of Queen-square, the Rev. Mr. LENnox, and Mr. Plitturs, were present. On the prisoner being brought in, the evidence of the witnesses given on the previous evening was again repeated. Mr. Phillips showed the Magistrate. three letters which he had received from the prisoner, the coatents of which did not transpire. After being interrogated for some time, he said that his n true was John Heath, and that he lived with hie father and mother at Nc,rwood. All that could be clicker] frera him wag, that he had formerly been a silk-manufacturer in a good way of busi ness, but had been unfortunate some years ago. The rem nant of his property was now gone : that he had formerly supported his father and mother, but was unable to do so any longer ; and he had applied to Mr. Phillips for his advice how to act, but was informed by that gentleman he could not interfere in his affairs. The prisoner here burst into tears, and was much af fected. His distresses appeared to make him quite call us as to what might befall him, and he declined going further into the detail of his affairs. The Magistrates, after consulting, ordered him to find two hous-keepers to bail him, in the sum of 1001 each. The prisoner knew no person of whom he would ask such a favour. The prisoner was then committed to prison in default of bail. Mr. BLADES, surgeon, of Tattershall, re cently performed the extraordinary operation of tapping for the dropsy on a young girl only ten years of age, the daughter of Mr. TYLER, of the Waterside, near Tatter sh LIl. Ten pints of water were taken from her, and she it now nearly recovered. The poor child, previous to the operation, had been blind for some time, owing to the swelling, but her sight has been restored by the operation, and she is now apparently recovered, although only eight days have elapsed.—Boston Gazette. IRISH AFFAIRS.—The Bank of Ireland, Itorresco referees, is issuing notes of preparation. The great door leading out of Westmoreland-street into what was the House of Lords is builded up. The two sentry boxes have been removed, to guard against surprise, within the iron palisades to the north of the piazza ; and over the o!ace where they lately stood two round loop-holes, about fon- inches in diameter, have been perforated through the solid Portland stone, out of which the lieges can be shot by pairs, if necessary, in case of an emeute. 'Within doors rvery thing is ready for a barring-out. Half-a-dozen bags of biscuit and three tierces of pickled pork are stowed in the cellarage, and it is said that a few much goats have been introduced and tethered on the grass which grows up in beautiful luxuriance near the discount office. This fact of the goats requires confirmation, but all the rest is as soberly and sadly true, as it is truly and su premely ridicul-us. What on earth are the old donkeys afraid of 7—Morning Herald. A serious accident occurred the other evening to Signor i Paur,o, the Clown at Covent-garden Theatre. d ie while perfornaine in the ntomi t ne. T owar d s t h e ! atter end of the performance m a ki n g a l eap over t h e P ant - - loon, he unfortunately ut his shoulder out. It was not perceived by the audience, and, although in the greatest agony, PAULO minaged to go on again, and got through ,lie piece. A surgeon was instantly caned in, who re.. stored the shoulder to its right place, sad he will be able to perform again in a day or two. We heard it very confidently affirmed this morning in one of the select city circles, that Ministers have come to the determination of not proposing any com mittee on the Bank question, and that the way, con•e quently, is clear for a renewal of the charter, without any Reform or mod fication of its provisions. We mention this, however, not as considering it worthy of credit, but to express our entire disbelief of it. A greater disap pointment could not befall the whole commercial and b ak ii,g interests of the metropolis than the adoption of such a course. Without paying any regard at present to the in numerable plans of banking conc.icting by projectors of various clissis, for the period when the trade shall he laid open, there is one point in whiA, we think, all intelli gent men of business are agreed, and we shall be sure of something better in the place of it, same general improve ment in the system. An inquiry is beside., they consider, due as much to the Bank as to the pu , lic. That corporation has been charged, Over and over ag ,in, equally with the vice of a bail system and a corrupt working of tt ; with prostitut ing it-elf to one set of Ministers after another, for ends most injurious ; and with hiving, almost unifol Italy throughout its course, pursued its own profit and advantage at the coat and suffering of the community at large. Farther, the proceedings of the Inquisition itself have n been inure a secret and mystery than those of the Rank, and the public have a clear right, now that the proper ma tent for it has arrived, to have the whole nature of them in quired into and laid open. If the Tories were still in power, the investigation would perh tps be less eared about, bee mile there would he in tit case but slender hope of seeing justice done to the country. The M•nisters now at the he:m are the seen, in the estimation of all who have a direct interest in it, to do the business properly and fearle,sly ; and we repeat, therefore, that there will ensue a, great and general disappointment if the inquiry is ulna.- dotted.— Times. THE BRITISH FARMER'S QUARTERLY MAGAZINE, No. 22,—This useful periodical is published every three months, price Four Shillirgs.

Indeed, to adopt the language of an eminent provincial contemporary, " Matters of opinion are one thing, matters of fact another,—and, in the latter, all that regards the advancement of farming and agricul. tore as a science,—all that is doing, and all that is talked about, we find in the Farmer's Magazine." The engravings of Sir G. CREWE'S short-horned cow and calf, and the Rye. land ewe, are excellent. The work should be in the hands of every practical farmer, or rural economist. A most important, interesting, and wonderful discovery, in the construction of a Filter by Ascension, is just completed by Messrs. WALKER and WILLATS, of Exet r Change, in the Strand ; it is so constructed that it supplies an immense quantity of the most pure and clari fied water, and at the same time posseaßes the power of cleansing itself, so that the machine is never liable to get out of repair. ABOLISHMENT OF IMPRISONMENT FOR DF.BT.—The operation of the Bill for the abolishment of imprisonment for debt in the state of New York having fully satisfied all parties that the interests of commerce have not been affected by it, a Bill to extend the measure over the whole Union has been reported in the House of Representatives, and was under the considelatain of a flemmittee of the whole House. What a eemmtntary d les this important legal Reform afford upon the crowded state of our numerous debtors' prisons! CAPTURE OF A Fox.—Last Monday morn ing, on Mr. THOMAS JOHNSTON, of Weal, going into I is ..table, he was surprised to find it tenanted by a isqe Jog. fox.

They may succeed in en listing some; but you may depend upon it they will be abandoned at the very first engagement. The Consti tutionalists are very rapid in their motions. Guencos is still at Napoli, and the authority of Augustin scarcely ex tends beyond that fortress. A body of troops which he had concentrated at Corinth, have s almost unanimously gone over to the Constitutionalists. Not more than 100 hiir•emen returned to Argos ; while, the garrison of Ti ipo- Utz t marched forward, with drums beating and colours flying, to Megan!, to augment the army of the legal Go vernment. Three of time ships of the Capo d'lstrians, which were cruising in the bay of Corinth for the purpose of intercepting the communications of the Constitu tionalists, and a brig of war in the Lepanto, have sub 'flitted to the Constitutional Government. It is to the Russians, and the Russians alone, encouraged by the so oineneas of the two other Powers, that we are indebted fur all our misfortunes." SPIRIT OF THE PARISIAN JOURNALS. Le Tenzpsargues that it is highly improbable that Austria will ever allow Russia, France, and England to have the uncontrolled regulation of the affairs of Greece, and that therefore the nomination of the young Paince Otho of Bavaria, with a Regency consisting of the Ministers of these three Powers', cannot be expected to take place. La Quotidienne sums up a long article on the impolicy of the British Cabinet in supporting Don Pedro, in the following words ;--" Lord Grey, by fal;ouriug the expedi tion of Don Pedro, has acted agaiylt the interests of his country as well as against those of fs own party. Against the interests of his country, by compromising her ancient alliance with Portugal, by obliging Spain to turn to the Northern Powers; Spain who, during the empire, joined her arms with those of England ; by encouraging the spirit of revolution with new successes, hich in the end may lead to the overthrow of the social order in England by exposing her to a general war, which must be considered to be highly injurious to her, since Lord Grey himself is ordered to main tain peace at any price. Against the interests of his own party, by rendering his situation with the Tories in the House of Lords inure complicated, by the impulse thus given to the spii it of revolution, by giving a new cause of alarm to the Aristocracy, already, and with so much reason, alarmed by the Bill of Refortn, by following the system of the Propa ganda, when, in order to preserve peace, which is the true basis of his system and the condition of his political exist 'roc-, he ought to seek to strengthen the security of all go vernments. Add to this, that if Don Pedro obtains a momentary success, and Spain interferes, as she is deter mined to do, Lord Grey must, in order not to take up rrms, let her go on, and then the check which his pro. te a se will receive must rebound upon the protector. Thus Lord Grey would meet with the same success that has at tended the revolution of July ; he will see perish all who relied upon him for support." Pants, STOCK EXCHANGE, FEB. 21.—The market to day has been brisk, and speculators appear to gain confi dence in the continuance of peace. The prices have consequently improved steadily the whole day. At the close, the Five per Cents, for cash had risen 50c. ; the Three per Cents., 60c. ; Neapolitans, 35c. ; the Rentes Perpetuelles, the Papal Loan, 1 ; and the Belgian Loin 4. Guebhard's had fallen 4 ; and the Four per Cents. were not quoted. For the end of the month the Five per Cents had advanced 55e. ; the Three per Cents., 65c. ; and the Papal and Belgian Loans, each.

BRUSSELS, FEB. 19.—An English Cabinet messenger passed through Brussels yesterday, who left St. Pctersburgh on Tuesday, the 7th inst., with despatches for London ; before his departure it was generally reported that Count Orloff was the bearer of the Emperor's ratification of the 9.4 articles. On his road he met a great number of Russian troops, returning to the interior, and also the Prussian Landwehr, which has been dis_ banded returning home. "ROYAL ORDINANCE. " Considering that it appears from a despatch addressed to our.„yinister for Foreign Affairs and the Marine, by our Envoy and Minister Plenipotentiary at London, that the cholera 'nor bus has manifested itself in that city ; " Art. I.—Arrivals from all ports of England, situated be tween Yarmouth and Plymouth, are placed, till further orders, under the regulation of the patente brute, and subject to what is directed by Article 4 of our Ordinance of the 17th of Sep tember, No. 2:2:3. " Art. 2.—English vessels specially employed in the convey ance of the mails shall be admitted to deliver in the road of Ostend, strictly conforming to the sanitary measures deter mined by our Minister of the Interior, the letters, journals, and parcels coming from the ports of England, which are placed under the sanitary regulations by the preceding article. " By the ping. Given at Brussels, Feb. 18, 1832. " LEO PO I.D. " The Minister of the Interior, De Theux." BRUSSELS, FEB. 951—A negotiation is going to be opened at London, between M. Van de Weyer and the Prussian plenipo tentiary, to obtain the consent of the Prussian Government to the prolongation of the iron rail-road between Antwerp and Cologne. M. Ch. de Brouckere has resigned the office of Minister of War, and it seems that his resignation is accepted. We hear of the resignation of the Minister of War, founded, it is said, on the considerable reductions which the Chambers seem inclined to make in the budget of his department. The news of the breaking out of the cholera at London hav ing been received at Ostend, the Board of Health and the chief officers of the Customs, met on the 18th, they resolved to send two members of the Board to Brussels for orders, and meantime not to permit any goods, that have arrived from England within these two days, to be landed. All ships from England are ex pressly prohibited from entering the port. It is reported the garrison of Luxemburgh will be shortly reinforced. Since the 13th of this month, nine gun-boats are in sight of the Capitalen Dam ; two arc near Fort St. Madeleine, and some near the dike of the Clara Polder, where a corvette is also stationed ; five others are seen out at sea. BRUSSELS, FEn. 21.—We are informed that Lieut.-Colonel Bouchlay and M. de Bassanpierre have imitated the example of M. de Brouckere, and tendered the resignation of, their situa tions in the war department. The Government intends to send throe physicians to London to observe the cholera. Lazzarettos are to be established at Ostend, Antwerp, and Newport,—the time of quarantine will be fixed at six days. At Antwerp the Board of Health assembled on the lSth, and in conjunction with the Government, Colonel Bagen resolved on the adoption of all necessary measures to prevent the intro duction of the cholera, of which, however, no real fear seems to be entertained. Separate buildings will be prepared to re ceive the sick, should the contagion appear, and every thing will be done to promote cleanliness. The Dutch Papers say, that the King has instructed his Am bassador to the German Diet, to announce that he has not accepted the twenty-four articles, and that without the consent of the collateral branch of the House of Nassau and of the Diet, he will not agree to cede or exchange any part of the t:raod Duchy without a complete territorial indemnity. VIENNA, FEB. 9.—His Majesty the Emperor, who has been confined in his room fo• a few days with a cold, is now quite recovered. The celebration of the 40th anniversary of his reign is put off from the Ist March to 25th April, the anniver sary of the ceremony of taking the oath of allegiance, in the hopes of a tine spring day. The accounts from Gallicia of the progress of the typhus lever are dreadful, thousands of sick crowd the hospitals of Wadowice, and Tarnow, precisely the places where the cholera was particularly violent, and nearly 8(10 soldiers have already fallen victims. All the army surgeons that can be spared have been sent out from Vienna. The false reports in foreign journals taken from Vienna let us wilters ht that le,etrr i eo t foo i pr s nooofily‘e• mention e ihaoi t ls o cee o c , contradict i f i t t ah r e a c t o l o i nr c gCttheu:reePliansatris°oecifil:a°SorfoalCvitueeriralnyeceign by s at Vienna or else Holy where, and of the ele va_ boll of the Duke of Reichstadt to the rank of Archduke of Austria as mere fables. Reports of an expected change in the French Ministry have caused a decline in our funds during the last few days. The nest mail from Constantinople, of the 9.5 th of January, may bring some interesting information respecting the expedition of the Viceroy of Egypt, of which we have heard nothing for some time. VIENNA, FEB. 10 .—Reports spread yesterday evening that 31. Perier had ceased to be Minister, and was succeeded by Count DescaYes, were little credited. On the other hand the news of the sending of a French squadron to Ancona is more believed b ec ause it has bee n b efore spoken of, and we know that the P ow ers have agr ee d to maintain tranquillity in the Papal States by just intervention. During the important negotiations respecting Belgium, Germany, and Portugal, and which we are flattering ourselves will be soon terminated and the results known, the amusements of the carnival follow each other in rapid succession, and are i n d u lged in the more cheerfully as the hopes of the preserva tion of peace, after so many convulsions, are renovated. The sa le of many horses b e l onging to the artillery train, an d th e lar ge purchases of five per cent. metalliques by the house of Roths child, tend to confirm these hopes. LONDON, 1' THE MAYOR OF BRISTOL. The following two letters from the Mayor of Bristol, (to which is subjoined the published letter of Mr. Daniel Fripp) chew the great precaution the Mayor took to make known where he was to be found from twelve o'clock on Sunday night to Monday morning. " The Mayor of Bristol desires Colonel Brereton to consider himself fully authorized to take whatever steps, and giv e whatever orders, he, as the military Commander of the troops in this city, may think fit, to restore and preserve as far as pos sible the public peace. The Riot Act has been read three times to-day. Colonel Brereton will have the goodness to consider this order to apply not only to the troops at present under his command, but to any which may subsequently arrive in the city. " Mr. Daniel Fripp's, 30, Berkeley-square, " Sunday night, Twelve o'clock, 30th Oct. 1831." " The Mayor of Bristol begs to inform Colonel Brereton that, if he should have occasion for the orders of a Magistrate, either the Mayor or some other Magistrate will be found at No. 30, Berkeley-square, Mr. Daniel Fripp's, the second house on the right hand on turning into the square from Park-street. " Berkeley-square, Twelve o'clock Sunday night". . . .

" Sig,—ln the evidence of Mr. Goldney, on the Court-martial of Captain Warrington on Thursday last, it is reported that he (Mr. Goldney) did not communicate to the Mayor what Captain Warrington had stated, as the Mayor had particularly requested him (Mr. Goldney), through Mr. Daniel Fripp, not to mention where he (the Mayor) was; that of Mr. Harris, jun. was nearly to the same purport. " I have to state most distinctly and unequivocally, that I received no such directions from the Mayor, nor did I commu nicate to Mr. Goldney or Mr. Harris such directions as from the Mayor. " In the state of alarm my family was at the time, it is pro bable I made such a request on giving them, or one of them, the letter in question, and after the evidence given by two re spectable individuals, on oath, I am not disposed to doubt it ; such request did not, however, prohibit either of those gentle men returning to my house. From the clear description of my residence, to avoid any mistake, in the letter of the Mayor, dated twelve o'clock, mid night, Sunday, and the particular circumstance at the time of writing that at three o'clock, a.m., Monday, I am convinced it was made to those gentlemen as my own individual request, and not by the direction of the Mayor, or given as such to either Mr. Goldney or Mr. Harris, and therefore was received by them under a wrong impression, as being the request of the Mayor. Your inserting this will oblige, " Sir, your obedient servant, " Berkeley-square, Bristol, Jan. " DANIEL FRTPP. FRENCH PAPERS. (From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.) PARIS, Fee. 21.—A letter from Ravenna itself of the 11th inst. contains the following details, which represent the atrocities committed in that town as still greater than those described above. The number of killed on the 9th is stated at nine, that of the wounded at thirty-seven. Among the latter are several old men aged seventy. Among the dead is a priest who was killed on returning with the cross from a burial. A letter from Bologna, of the 11th instant, says : " Last night a great many proclamations, containing threats against the Pontifical and Austrian troops, were posted up in different quarters of the town. The police is very active in tracing the authors and printers of these placards. Hitherto all researches have proved unsuccessful. Numerous domiciliary visits are tasking to seize arms and uniforms, but only 100 muskets and fourteen uniforms have as yet been discovered. It is to be remarked that these persecutions commenced the moment it was known that the French troops were coming to Italy. The Austrians since then have assumed a more hostile dispoition. The patriots, on their side, are very reserved in their relations with them. On the 9th a ball was given at the Cassino. Above three hundred persons had been invited ; but only four ladies and six public functionaries made their ap pe 'ranee ; all the rest of the company consisted of Austrian and Papal officers. General Grabowski and Cardinal Albani appeared greatly disappointed." The following intelligence from Foligno, dated Feh. 3, is extracted from the Diario di Roson:—" The earth quake which destroyed our unhappy town continues its ravages, and has again throw# down several buildin,s. Last Friday the aspect of the atmosphere was not less threatening than on the fatal 13th. All our population, struck with terror, were awaiting new disasters. The shock, however, was not violent, but considerable damage was done to ti.e chap-1 Degli Angeli, and the church of St. Francis and several houses were destroyed. The rain, which is pouring down i❑ torrents, still increases the mi sery and sufferings of the people, although every effort is made to construct wooden houses, where one can scarcely stand upright ; others, which are in a tottering state and threaten the lives of the inhabitants, are ordered to be taken down. A shock, which was felt on the 29th, has caused great damages at Trevi, a town six miles from Leri." _ . _ Extract of a letter from Toulon, dated the 15th inst.:— " Gen. Cubieres, who was expected at Toulon to take the command of the brigade for Italy, arrived last night, and, after remaining not more than two hours, embarked for Civita Vecchia on board a steamer whi , •ll had been got ready for his reception, in pursuance of a telegraphic despatch from the Government. The General will pro ceed immediately to Rome, with very urgent despatches for the Ambassador. Two inure companies of engineers are to embark without delay for Italy. Two captains of this corps, who were absent on leave, have received orders to join immediately. The company of artillery sent to the Antibes has been suddenly recalled, and will arrive here to-morrow by forced marches. The 3d battalion of the 15th of the line arrived this morning at Seyne, a short league from Toulon, and will come in the day after to-morrow. It is asserted that the brigade sent to Italy will shortly be reinforced with five additional regiments. A telegraphic despatch is just arrived, directing the Mi litary Intendant, now at Toulon, to embark for Italy on board one of the vessels that are to sail today.—A lament able accident has just happened here. An immense block of wood, while be,ng lowered into the water, to he floated down to the new docks constructing here, slipped from its hold, and fell upon the men below, two of whom were killed, and seven.' others very dangerously injured." Extract of a letter from Napoli di Romania, dated Jan. 26 Constitutionalists are gaining ground, and , are already masters of nearly the whole of eastern and western Greece. Missolonghi is in their hands ; and, two days ago, they gained possession of Eleusis. Gen. Rougin has just been made prisoner ; and several other captains of Capo d'lstria, having been taken with arms in their hands, are in confinement. There is only one captain res niaining on the Greek continent, against whom the Con stitutional Government has sent a powerful force, under the command of I)iovounioti. According to the latest ac counts from him, his adversary is so closely pressed that he must shortly surrender. The Constitutional forces, which are 8,000 strong, will then enter the Morea, where the people are well-disposed to receive them. The Deputies assembled at Hydra, among whom is M. Mavrocordato, have at length succeeded in rejoining their comrades at Megara. As they now form the majority, they have opened the Session, and sanctioned the choice of the three members of the Provisional Committee. The Spartiates, under the command of the nephew of May roinichaelis, are advancing. On arriving near Kala-. mata, they divided themselves into two columns, in order to gain Nissi, where they will meet with very little resistance, as there is only one battalion in the garrison, and that well-disposed to fraternise with them. The Capo d'lstrians have already sent two successive missions to the Constitutionalists, offering to accede to all their terms, provided Augustin is suffered to remain President, or at least to be one of the members of the new Government. This, however, the Consitutionalists have refused ; tie daring it to be a sine qua non of reconciliation that the trator Capo d'lstria should be sent out of the country. They also complain, and with ju , tice, that while Russia decidedly supports Capo ia, the English and French not only decline giving their countenanc e to the Constitu tionalists, but do not oppose the machinations of the Rus sians. The Capo d'lstrians, having failed in all their at tempts to divide their enemies, yesterday issued two pro clamations, by one of which they denounce the Con stitutionalists as relit's, and by the other, appoint Guenws, son of Colocotroni, commander of the fifteen Pease (PRICE 7D.) NATIONAL POLITICAL UNION. The Council of this Union assembled last night, at eight o'clock, at their rooms in Saville House, Leicester-square —H. B. CHURCHILL, Esq., of the Temple, in the Chair, Many donations of books were announced by the Secre tary, and a subscriptio❑ of 5/. from Major Beauclere. Mr. STYLES referred to the Committee appointed to inquire into the distress of the weavers of Spit dfields ; and moved that, in consequence of the Committee meeting often, a sum of 2/. would be granted for that purpose. The sum of 2/. was granted. The Rev, Mr. Fox proposed that no motion shall be submitted to the Council, but by the Committee, except a notice in writing has been a week previously given. The Birmingham Union appears to discuss measures three times; and although he did not wish to imitate them, he wished pi ecaution on many subjects suddenly presented to them, which required all the strength of experience fre quently to determine. _ _ Mr. BERKELEY seconded the motion. Mr. CHEESEMAN thought the regulations of the Council should be suspended in the room. Mr. BERNARD thought all regulations and books of the Council were already open to the members. Mr. PERRY rose to order. Mr. MURPHY dissented to . the motion, because it would have a dangerous tendency. The Committee isbut a branch, not a distinct part of the Council, and should not supersede the tights of the Council. Discussion on matters of public interest might be adapted to the time— resolutions of value and importance can easily be distin guiehed from those of folly and absurdity--and may be treated as they respectively merit. Mr. DETROSITR thought Mr. Murphy had not no ticed any case of danger to the passing of the resolution. Cea,ing to do better whets doing well would militate a4ainst all improvements. He thought the motion would prevent the Council inculpating itself with any improper or absurd proposition that might be rashly brought for ward. The members also would thus be prepared with any motion they alight be desirous to bring forward. Mr. PowELL supported the motion. _ _ Mr. CARPENTER: dissented from Mr. Murphy's views. Mr. Fox replied ably to the arguments opposed to his motion. He wished that the best energies of the mind and heart should be excited by judicious and deliberate discussion. Mr. MURPHY moved that a petition be presented to the House of Commons, praying that the representation 111. Ireland might be placed on a basis similar to that of the representation afforded by the Reform Bill in England. lie saw no reason why any difference should be made ; and lie thought the best means of producing a separation he twe, n these countries would be placing them under dif ferent laws, and subject to different interests. Mr. Salmi, thought it better not to accumulate peti tions, which might impede rather than aid Ministers. No petition had been got from Ireland on the Bill, and why then from England, where those most interested had not petitioned ? Mr. Moarxv said, that such an opinion merely showed that the people of England knew very little, and thought very little, of the people of Ireland, when it was known that petitions from almost every county in Ireland bad been presented, and resolutions adopted, and that frequent meetings and protests of the Irish Members on the subject «•ere prevalent. Mr. Fox supported the motion, though he did not know on what principles the Reform Bill was based, as Lord Alth. rp had said expediency, not principle, was the basis. He wished petitions should accumulate, not to embarrass, but to expedite Ministers; and that they, seeing the power beyond themsdves, would be inspirited with greater energy. He thought such a measure was a debt of gratitude owing by England to Ireland, for havine set them the example of fo warding the cause of freedom, by the conduct pursued by the Cat olie Association, which broke the chains of slavery and oppression Mr. WALLis also supported the motion. The motion passed unanimously, and the Business Com - mittee were requested to prepare a petition for that purpose. CHOLERA. Mr. HicxsoN moved for a petition to inquire into the true character of the disease introduced into this country, called the Asiatic cholera. Measures guarding against the plague would be instituted against the ship &c., of this country, so as materially to militate gainst its commerce. He then spoke concerning the quarantine enforced against vessels in the port of the con tinent, and in America—thus increasing an expense and delay—and other measures mischievous to the merchants. Millions of subscrip , ions cannot counterbalance the evils of the quarantine enforced on commerce from the rumour of the disease. If it has existed formerly, it cannot be proved to lie a pestilence, or that there is any addithinal ground of alarm. Ile instanced many medical gentlemen (parricu lady Doctors Uwins, Conquest, Birki , eck, Gilchrist, Morris, Sigmund, Webster, Johnson, Chambers, South wood, Smith, King, &c.) against the rumour of a new disease having been found in this country, or in that dis ease now termed cholera. Proper means have not been taken to ascertain the similarity or difference between the English and Asiatic clio era; for, according to the climates of dif•rent countries, the symptoms of the same disease may vary. The investi_ation at Sunderland merely proved that the disease was Asiatic cholera ; without inquiring whether the same disease was not cholera here, there, or elsewhere. Mr. MuKrur thought the cholera morbus one of the gr a - e,t humbugs of the last century. It is the source of peculation and power to minions of G.wernment, and of great parochial extortion. He instanced St. Pancras pa rish, where extortion has been practis.d—where a Select Vestry has engaged premises at 2001. yearly, for two yea's, although the individual last holding them had them for 1001.,.and was disposed to let them for 701. Inquir ing the reason for such liberality, he found that the pre mises belonged to one of the Sebct Vestry. The greatest benefit which the cholera could produce would be, if the animalculre said to produce the disease should enter the Windows of St. Stephen's, and attack some of the Mem bers on the opposition side of the House and people. He continuea, in a laughable manner, to deride the idea of cholera ; and asserted that the corruption of Government, producing the belly-ache of the poor, was said to be the cholera of the physicians. He instanced several trades de teriorated by the cholera, which would have the effect of injuring the public, increasing jobs and speculation and humbug. Lord Durham, Lord Londonderry, &c. had raised the price of coals, in consequence of the rumour, 10s. in the chaldrou. Mr. WRIGHT coincided in the opinions expressed, and instancing many evils of the State, be attributed cholera to thew, as their sources. The petition was unanimously adopted and signed. The Giuncil then came to the iesolutioa of subsequently considering the Anatomy Bill, and the subject of tithes ; and adjourned at a late hour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN- S Q U ARE. On Tuesday evening a middle-aged man, of rather re spectahle appearance, was brought up in custody by Ser jeaut Ryan, of the B division, No. 11, and placed at the bar before the Rev. Mr. LENDON, a county Magistrate, charged with entering the Secretary of State's office, and with a pistol in his hand demanding to see Mr. Phillips, the Under Secretary of State, and threatening to make use of the weapon if interrupted. Serjeant Ryan said that the prisoner refused to give either bis name or address at the station-house. Mr. LENDON-Will you tell us your name now? Pri soner—l am not compelled to give my name without I choose, and I would rather decline it at present. Mr. LENDON—Very well; as you please. Thomas Hill, of No. 20, Walcot-place, Lambeth, be. longed to the Home-office. About half-past six o'clock that evening, the prisons came to the office, and reque-t d to see Mr. Phillips, tl e Under Secretary of State. Wi'- ne-s told him that Mr. Phillips was gone, and he went a cay. In a short time he returned again and asked for Mr. Phillips, at the same time he pulled a pistol out of his p eket, which he presented, and said that he would com mit an a-sault upon some p rson, as he wantrd to be sent to pi icon. A police constable was sent for, and the pri soner was s,cm.-.d. Mr. LENDON (to the prisoner)—Why do you wish to h e sent to prison? Prisoner—l suppose there will be another investigation; and I shall decline saying any thing now. Mr. LENDON—Has the pistol been examined P—S-r jeans Ryan here produced the pieta!, which be had Wren
