FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Monitturof Monday, Nov. 5.) (Now •OFFICIAL PART. PARIS, Nov. 4.—To day (Nov. 4), at one o'clock. the Governm.n: receive. l by telegraph the f.llowing despatch : 4 ' THE HAGUE, Nov. 2. AT MIDNIG HT. —The Charge d'Affaires of France to the President of the Council—The Dutch Gov.rnment has refused to evacuate the Belgian territory by the 12th." - - - . - (From the Messager des Chanahres, dated Tuesday.) THE HAGUE, OCT. 29.—(Private Correspondence. ) " think I may assure you, as having it from good authority, that Goneral Chaste his positive orders, in ease the cit del should he attacked, no matter by whom, tai bombard and burn the city, and not to cease firing till the attacking army or armies shall have signed a Conven tion for the immediate evacuation of the Netherlands. Orders have also been given to inundate Flanders ; and as tor Holland, if any one should think fit to come and at tack it, he would find something to cool him ; there is water in plenty, and in all Holland there is not a single inhabitant who is not ready himself to cut the d. ke, the rupture of which would lead to the inundation of his land and his house. Among us, enthusiasm is not in the head but in the heart; and this is not so liable to evaporate as the other. The King and the Nation, ate Nation and the Kina., form one compact, indissoluble body. " If Holland is driven to extremities, she is prepared to renew the prodig►'es of Sparta, and those of which her own history furnishes so many examples; and, alter all, Holland is infinitely stronger now than in the time of William the Taciturn ; but her aggressors do not at al resemble Philip 11., and they have not inh , rited the power of Charles V., nor, as far as we know, his genius." THE HAGUE, OCT. 29.—(From another Letter.)— " M Ouvrard set out yesterday evening, for Amsterdam. As he speculates on a fall, it is supposed that he will enter into extensive operations. " At this moment a courier from Paris has alighted at the hotel of the French Legation, and causes a great bustle and lively sensation. But be assured William will not yield—Holland will not yield." PARIS, Nov. 4.—The reserve division of Cavalry com mences its march to-morrow, to draw nearer to the frontier. This division consists of four regiments of Cuirassiers, which are now at Compaigne, Beauvais, Meaux, and 'Melon. General Gentil St. Alphooso, who commands this di vision, is at Compeigne, and will set out on the departure of tha last squadron. (From the Journal des Debuts.) PARIS —There is something so unexpected in tl:e turn which affairs have taken in Spain, that the most practised observers have found themselves at fault. It is even at a moment when, with the exception, of a single question, on which the wishes of France and England do not permit two lines of cenduct—it is at the moment when the Go vernment of Spain seemed more profoundly wrapt than ever in its political prejudices—that all at once the chiefs of a system disappear from the scene, which system no thing before seemed - to threaten. Men and things are bloc n away by the breath of the Court, and the signal was given by an event which no human sagacity could foresee—a King who died and came to life again ! Every thing was brought to stake on the day wl e❑ Fer dinand VII. was about to descend into the tomb of the Escurial. The report of the King's death was no sooner credited than the Queen, by the move ment at the Palace, could foresee the fate to which her widowhood was destined. Abandoned by her mast intimate confidents, she might even contemplate her own exile. The crowd of courtiers pressed around Don Carlos ; the most serious ac's were about to fellow this mere and vulgar adulation. The law of Fer dinand VII., which closed against Caries the road to the throne in behalf of the female branch of the family, seemed already annulled by a Decree, the signature to which had been obtained from the Kin: while he was in his lethargy, and the firmness of a single Magistrate, faithful to his duty, alone prevented its promulgation. The courage of the Queen was re•auimaied by the presence and energetic ex hortations of the Infanta Louisa Charlotte, the wife of ti e Infant Do❑ Francis i2e Paul : the courageous Princess showed her sister the danger by which she was threat ened—she encouraged her to brave it. The King gave some signs of life—the hope of his restoration strength ered—a fortunate crisis prolonged his days. They crowded round Ferdinand Vll.—they represented to him that his Ministers were devoted to bon Carlos—it was proved to him that his signature had been surreptitiously obtained ; and these circumstances revealed to him the fate that awaited the Queen, whom he cherished with the most tender affection. That was suffi cient ; the veil was rent, and the Regency was con ferred on the Queen while the King was unwell. Dismis sals, banishments, struck the men around the throne who had not waited till it was vacant to abandon it. Ali the heads of the Apostolical faction were dismissed from their high offices, and even sent away from the capital ; and the Queen, already known by the humanity of her character, was able to begin her new career by a grateful act, ex. pected in vain for ten years—by an amnesty, as extensive as was suitable to, and was authorised by, the sudden tran sition from a system of despotism and re. action to a sys tem of moderation and liberty. The men called upon to take the offices of the dismissed Ministers belong, almost all of them, to the party known in Spain by the name of Anilleros. They are enlightened men, and favourable to English notions. The Duke de Frias, Castanos, 11i r tinez de la Rosa, Zea de Bermudez, the Doke De San Fes nando, are appointed, on the refusal of M. Z -a, to the President.) , of the Council. These are the men who are the most distinguished of this party ; and they almost all again appear at once on the political scene. It is now a question how and to what extent this species of Royal Revolution in men will be followed out in events. Two systems offer themselves :—To endow the country, in the name of the Royal authority. with administrative and judicial meliorations—to consolidate a power, strength. ened by division, to break down the spirit of castes, of cor porations, and of loc,dities—finally, to give to Spain the central power which Spain wants. Such is the first of the two systems. The other, which will be preferred by most enlightened people. is the development of the muni eip al system of local franchises and provincial Cortes. To more tha❑ any other country the federative system will be suitable to Spain, as soon as she is assured of her relations with France. We are only now reasoning, it must he understood, on the supposition, that the state of the public mind in Spain will not allow of a more rapid and complete development of Constitutional Institutions ; but, above all things, we believe that Spain must have Spanish freedom and Spanish rights. Her municipal or ganization—the long annihilation of her nubility—the want of a large middle class—the long and exclusive pos session of public employments by a few men—the high character of what is called in other countries the lower classes, their disinterestedness, their fidelity—here are so many distinctive characteristics which make Spain a country by itself, and which require that it should he seen and judged of under a corresponding point of view which may be called Spanish. A single day does not build up a Democratic Theocracy, or a Constitutional Monarchy. (From Galignani's Messenger of Tuesday.) Pamir, Nov. 6.—The reserve division of cavalry yes terday commenced its march towards the frontier. It con sists of four regiments of cuirassiers, which have been quartered at Beauvais, Compeigne, Meaux, and Melon. General Gentil Sainte Alphonse, who has the command of the division, is at Compeigne, and will set out imme diately after the departure of the last squadron. Accounts from Calais state that, within the last fort night, there have been sent from that arsenal to Lille 17,000 balls, 24-pounders, and 25,000 kilogrammes of gunpowder; and also to Dom) , an immense supply of stores for the engineers and artillery. In return, there have been received at the arsenal from Lille 4,000 mus kets and 1,325 sabres of the new model. The Handelsblad of Amsterdam, of the 2d instant, which has arrived by express, contains the following postscript , "We have this instant (four o'clock) learnt, from a source which may be said to be official, that, at a late hour in the night, the Government received a despatch from Antwerp, with the copy of a note sent yesterday evening by General Chasse to General Buzen, Com mandant of the Belgian forces in the city and province of Antwerp, declaring that, on the first move ment either of the fleet or army of France, and without waiting for any act of aggression on their part, be (Ge neral Chasse) would act upon the orders of his Sove reign, to use all the means within his power to prevent the violation of sacred rights by a foreign force ; and that, in pursuance of these orders, he gave notice that he should be under the painful necessity of firing with ail his artil lery upon the city of Antwerp, upon the first appearance of a French fig in the neighbourhood of the places occu pied by the Dutch. He adds, that the Belgian Govern. ment must take this as a sufficient warning, as be should not make any further commanication." We learn from Manbeim, in the Grand Duchy of Ba den, that great ferment has prevailed in that town, and the Government has forbidden all assemblages of the people, ordered patrols of troops to parade the streets, and taken other strong measures of repression, but the causes are not known. The Breton, of Nantes, contains the following on the pielent state of La Vendee :—" At the commencement of the season, which renders the movements of the troops more difficult, the Chouans, excited by motng new instiga tions, are oar to have assumed fresh courage." The Augsburg Ga-ette of the 2d instant has a letter from Vienna of the 27 h ult., expressing hopes that, notwithstanding the warlike aspect of .:ffairs in Holland and Belgium, the cautious policy of the Great Cabi nets will preserve Europe from great calamitie<. The letter concludes thus:—" The sailing of the Eng lish and French squadrons will, probably, not eff-ct any essential change in the present state of politics; for the Cabinet of the Hague has taken such measures of de fence on the Dutch coast that little is to be feared from a blockade, which in winter can neither be general nor com plete. On the other hand, the commerce of England would suffer considerably. It is hoped, therefore, that, after a short time, when the Cabinets of France and Eng land shall perceive the fruitlessness of the attempt, they will again have recourse to negotiation, and terminate the differences amicably." A letter, of the Ist instant, from Frankfort on the Maine, after noticing the arrival there of Count Pezzo di Margo, and his previous visits to Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Stuttgart, and Darmsta It, says, " It will be readily be lieved that this visit of the Envoy of the Emperor Nicho las to Frankfort has not been taken merely for the pur pose of making and receiving the accustomed compliments of our diplomatists, who have truly done their best to entertain this important personage. All that has hitherto transpired on this subject is, that M. Paso di B ergo was comosissioned to prevail on the Sovereigns of Get many to maintain, both at home and abroad, the political system of which the Autocrat Alexander was the founder, and which his successor Nicholas wishes to continue. But as it is impossible for this dip'omatist to visit the thirty eight Courts of Germany, he has come to Frankfort, where lie found their several representatives, and could communicate to them jointly all the injunctions of his Cabinet. It is also stated that Russia has proposed to the Diet, through the same medium, a treaty for an alliance off nsive and defensive, by which the Powers engage to assist each other on all occasions in which the particular interests of the one or the other might be compromised. This treaty comprises the reciprocal guarantee of the pre sent statu quo, and of the respective possessions, saving such modifications as may be agreed upon according to circumstances." The Genoa Gazette announces that the Italian re fugees who were at Bastia have been suddenly embarked, in virtue of orders from the Frenc:i Government, to be conveyed to Rodez, department of the Aveyron. Two police-officers were present to superintend the embarkation. Le Journal des Debits reports that the entry of the French troops into Beljurn must be considered as merely a military expedition, not a war ; and that there is not any ground for apprehending the existence of hostile feel ings in the rest of Europe, as predicted by the opposition papers. La France Nouvelle and Le Nouvelliste hold similar language. COURT OF CASSATION. The speech delivered yesterday by M. Dupin, on open• inT, the Court of Caseation, disappointed the expectations of our speculators, who had hoped that he would seize that opportunity of disclosing the line of policy he would adopt were he placed at the head of the French Cabinet. M. Dupin circumscribed himself within the limits of his judiciary attributes, and animadverted, but in an indirect manner, upon the prosecutions directed against the press, and against the measure of the state of siege laid on the crpitat, after the events of June last. In alluding to the first topic, be expressed a desire that the prosecutions of that nature should he instituted with discernment, and kept within proper limits; fur in an accusation lightly formed and badly supported, he maintained that the Govern ment gained much less by what was said in its interest than it lost by the tone of confidence assumed by its op ponents when the victory remained with the accused. M. Dupin insisted on the necessity of leaving the mo-t con plete freedom to the advocates of the accused parties. " The defence may be refuted," said he, " if susceptible of refutittion, but it should never be impeded nor inter rupted ; since it must be m ide evident to all that society, in prosecuting an individual, does not use its might to overwhelm him, but merely to pro , ect itself." M. Dupin then indulged in a tirade against political offenders, whom he deemed not less odious than ordinary criminals, and passed an unequivocal condemnation on the revolters of the month of June. He afterwards reminded the Judges of the line of conduct they should follow, in order to at tain the ends of justice; and after drawing a parallel be tween civil and military courage, and deprecating the si tuation of public men, who were ever exposed to the vi tuperations of envy and egotism, and whose conduct was always ascribed to a sordid feeling of Personal interest, and never to a generous motive, he thus alluded to the memorable decision the Court of Caseation on the 30th of June last In a despotic Sta-e," said M. Dupio, " criminal justice is a deadly weapon in the hands of the Minister : it strikes at its will, and blindfolded, the vic t mes which it selects. In a free State like ours the Juilges know nought but the Constitution of the country; their irremovability secures their independence, and that independence is the safeguard of society. Being placed at the summit of the judicial order, you are, Gen tlemen, the first guardians of the rights of exery citizen. You take ewe that the law shall be impartially administered to all, without exception of persons and opi• nuns—without considering what noold be agree .ble to power, but merely what your duty requires. Hiving always before your eyes the great principl- of the division of powers (a principle which is one of the foundat.ons of liberty) yov will not allow the justiciary authority to en croach upon the domain of the Administration, nor pre sume to judge tie acts of Government. Invested with the supreme power in the judiciary hierarchy, sovereign arbitrators in deciding on the question of competency, you are the preservers of the sacred order of jorisdictions ; it behoves you to vrevent any one being taken away from his natural Judges, and not to leave it in the power of any one to say, over the tomb of an accused, who might be supposed to have been justly condemned, " Yuu are mis taken, he was sentenced by Commissions.' " The last sentence of M. I:lupin's speech was received with loud applause by the crowded audience that had met on that occasion in the hall of the Court.

" I have not seen the Lord Chancellor for two minutes for the last twelvemonth, nor ever communicated with him on the subject in the course of my life. " I am occupied with no plan of Reform, nor do I know any one who is so. I dare say there trill be such a Retortn, and I think there ought to be, but I 'nave nothing at all to do with it. If it be effected by the present Ad ministration, it will probably be done as men of sense and statesmen go about such great objects; if it fats into the bands of madmen and revolutionists, it wilt be a scene of robbery, villainy, and plunder.

EXTRACT OF A CIRCULAR DESPATCH SENT BY ORDER OF HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY THE DUKE OF BRAGANZA TO HIS DIPLOMATIC AGENTS ABROAD. "" * * I avail myself of the opportunity of the sailing of an English ship•of-war to write to you in have twine news. Tile day berme yesterday, at eight o'clock at night, the enemy, having received reinforcements from Lisbon, made an attemot to surprise the Serra Convent. H-' was received wlh a vigorous fire by the brave garri son of that fortress, its vigilan , Governor having, through his spies, learned the intention of the rebels. After a combat which lasted an hour and a half, and during which the grape-shot from our batteries was fired with great effect, the enemy retired in dismay to his posi tions. Some deserters who have come over to us, say, that the 17th regiment alone lost one hundred men in this action. • " The arrival of the Infante has been announced with great pomp, and alio a general attack to be made this day on our lines ; but to the time at which I am writing, which is two o'clock in the afternoon, we are not certain whether the former boast has been realized, and the latter certainly has not yet taken place. " A great number of shot and shells have been di.. reeled against th, city, and also some rockets. The ene my, however, has gained nothing by this barbarous conduct. He has only succeeded in killing or wounding a few of the inhabitants, chiefly women and children, in some of the houses; for the shot does not reach our in treochtnents. " However, it appears very singular that the Powers, who, from motives of huminity, think it their duty to en deavour to prevent the hotnbardtnent of Antwerp, should regard with indifference the usekss destruction ..nd carnage which the atrocious Government of the usurpation is causine here. " There have successively arrived some vet Nels, bring ing 220 English soldiers, and thirty of the Beljc legion. " Alarquis de PALMELLA. " Oporto, Oct. 26." BRUSSELS PAPERS. BRUSSELS, Nov 4.—Yesterday, at four o'clock, Sir Robert Adair despatched a courier to London, being the third within three days. Several couriers have been sent during the night by the French Ambassador, with despatches for Lille and Valen cientics. Lord and Lady F. Fitzclarence and Captain Doyle set out yesterday for London. The Moniteur says:" We learn that for some days past great alarm has existed at Antwerp : this alarm is exaggerated—that is to say, the events which are prepar ing dep -rid on various contingencies. T. e Government has applied to the Powers, parties to that Treaty of the 15th of November, to obtain the execution of the gua rantee stipulated in Article 25th of data Treaty. Its appli cation has been duly attended to. The coercive measures to be emp'oyed avainst H Mold are combined in a grada tion which is generally known ; tee feat metsures will be directed against the Dutch commerce ; the nitra ti.ne blockade will precede the expedition by land, and the latter will not take place unless the former should prove ineffectual. In the latter case, the citadel of Ant • werp will probably be the first object of the operations ; but even then the attack will, if possible. b.. arranged in such a manner as not to expose the city to hostilities. This extremity cannot occur before the 15th of this month, and at all events, the Goya nment will m Ace it its duty to give the inhabitants of Antwerp the necessary warning." The coasting pilots of Ostend have received orders to mike known to the ships bound for Antwerp, the deciara tion made by the French and English Consu!s in that city, rod to conduct such ships to °vend. The Phare, and the Journal du Commerce, ofAntwerp, contradict the statement of the arrival of French soldiers at Niel. Gen. Haxo, of the Engineers, has arrived from Paris at the hea4-quarters of the army of the North, and will, it is said, direct the operations of the siege of the ci tadel of Antwerp. The P/tare says—" A mercantile house in this city (Antwerp) received yesterday, by an extraordinary mes senger, the news, that the King of Holland had just laid an embargo on the En.tli-h and French, and consequently on the Belgian ships, in all the ports of Holland. HAMBURG PAPERS. STOCKHOLM, OCT 23.—The latest protocols in the affair 'of Baron V. Vegesack and V. Dutten contain no thin4 interesting, but a letter produced to the Court by: the Chancellor, which is said to have been picked up hi the street, and iodated 16th Nov., 1831. The writer of the letter expreset his hope that be shall soon hear of war on he Rhine; and says, there is no hope for us and cur children, but in a violent and destructive revolution, which be thinks must come. Baron Duhen owned that he had written the letter, and, he believed, to Baron V. Vegesack ; but as for a re volution, he meant a general war, in which he hoped to improve h;s circumstances. Last Friday evening, a letter was brought to the Post office, directed to Prince Gustavus Vasa, in Vienna. The elefk, who was very busy, said," It is not enough to pay the posta,e," and gave hack the letter. The bearer, a soldier of the Town Guard, took the letter and the .money, and went to a public-house to regale himself; there he showed the letter, tv,ich he had received from a stranger in the street, and eightpence to pay the postage. The letter was taken to the police-office, and opened. It said, that "Prince Augusfavus would not lose his courage, though B iron Vegesack and V. Duben were arrested ; that he might dep-nd on a great part of the Nobility, and parti etvarly on part of the guards of the capital. The letter was signed with the Jaime of " Kruse," residing at Stock holm, formerly a naval captain, and now master of a school of navigation. The captain denies having written the letter, though the hand-writing is extremely like his ; and the soldier, who has been confronted with him, is ready to swear that he was the person who gave him the letter. The investigation has been going on at the Police office for these two flays. BERLIN, OCT. 29.—The Military Commission, of which Count Clain Martinez has long been member on the prrt of Austria, and to which Prince Felix of Schwarzen burg was sent some time ago, is now proceeding in its labours with renewed activity. Duke Charles of Mecklen burg has been appointed member on the part of Prussia, in the room of General Von Kueseheek, who is ill. BERLIN, OCT. 30.—His Royal Highness Prince Au gustus is gone to Faly ; he will be absent three months. It is said to be seriously in contemplation to introduce a property tax, because the very great increase of the public expenditure during the list two years cannot be covered by the prelent revenue. The capital itself is also obliged, chiefly on account of the numerous poor, to lay on some new tix. The difficulty is to choose some object of taxation which may not hurt the poor instead of relieving them.

The King of the Netherlands, steam-vessel, has just come into harbour with Lieut. I'. B. Davies (Command ant), and Lieut.

After a neat and anitnated address from the Commandant, desiring no one to embark against hii inclination, they to a min went on board the Swallow cutter, at four o'clock, and sailed with a fair wind to join the forces of Don Pedro, under Sir J. M. Doyle. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF TRESPASS. (From the Dublin Morning Rcgister.) THE REV. N. VISE, CLERK, V. THE REV. NICHOLAS HERBERT, CLERK. This was an action of trespass by one clergyman of the Established Church against another, for diatraining his cow, for 31. 155., claimed as due for composition of tithe. Mr. HATCHELL stated the plaintiff's case. The Learned Gentleman regretted much that such a case should come before the public. A lawsuit between two clergymen must be distressing. The plaintiff was a curate of the Established Church, resident within the parish of the de fendant, at Knockgrapharn, in this county. He was on terms of intimacy with him, and occasionally officiated in his church. The composition for tithes having been as sessed on the l►nds of the plaintiff to the amount of Si. 155., the R verend Defendant lout to demand it ; but he need not say that a curate in the Established Church was not generally overburdened with cash. Such was the case of the Rev. Mr. Vise, and he besought time until his corn should be thrashed ; but this was denied by his more affluent brother, and the drivers of the Rev. Nicholas Hubert seized the only cow of the plaintiff, and drove her to the parish-pound. After which his client heard no more of the cow, but it was alleged that she had been stolen out of the pound. The cow cosy his client upwards of 71. ; and even admitting the tithe to be due, all could be claimed was 31. 15s. The cow having been seized, should have been regularly sold, and, in common justice, the surplus refunded to his client. The action was now brought for the trespass, and the value of the cow. Several witnesses produced by the plaintiff proved the demand in Mr. Herb- rt's name of 31. 15s. for tithe, and his request of time. The seizure and impounding of the cow, under a power of attorney, signed by Mr. Herbert, was also proved, and that she was abstracted from the pound by night. Mr. Dixosr (for defendant) offered, before going into the case of his client, to withdraw a Junir. Mr. Ratchell declined the offer, and Mr. Dixon then proceeded to insist on a nonsuit, under the concluding clauses i.f the Composition Act. Mr. SH EIL here entered the Court, and contended against the proposition ; but the Court decided that the Act. althoueh not bearing out Mr. Dixon's construction to the full extent, would call upon the Judge to charge for the defendant. It appeared to Bien to be a vety ill-con sidered action. Mr. Siteir. said, that to end the controversy, he would c msent to withdraw a Juror. To this the Coun sel for the defendant would not then agree, and the Judge charged the Jury to find for the defendant with 6d. coat, acd in the event of Mr. Shell's point of law being ruled to be good, the verdict to be turned into one for the plaintiff. The Jury having retired, found accordingly, having first intimated a wish that the parties would agree to withdraw a Juror. To this the Counsel for the defendant objected. The unfortunate plaintiff was arrested just as lie was retiring from Court, but was discharged next day on affidavit claiming his privilege as a party in a cause. CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT.

A dreadful accident occurred yesterday week at Mr. ORBELL . S water mill, Brundon, near Sudbury. As the cook was stooping to fill a pitcher with water, she lost her balance, anti fell between the water .wheel and the gate.

BARBAROUS MURDER.—On Friday week, DAN/EL APA LOON, rento , ailiff of M. BABINGTON, Esq., of Boney Glen, ne ir Donegal, left Mr. BABINGTON'S in compa ny with three men who had been paying rent that day ; the three men had horses, but M'ALooN had not ; they kept together until they came within a mile of Glen ties, when M'AtooN, being tired, remained a short dis tance in the rear; night ed,u called very dark, and e - douttothebo A r l se t e o n oti, to b : s in tn g p s , ud th i a e t ni le was a murdering." The men went to his a4sistance, and saw about eight or ten persons, who attacked them with stones, so that they had to make their escape to a neighbouring house, where they were reinforced, and went in search of M'Atoon, but could not find him. They then rode into Glenties, where they i n f or med the chief constable of the circumstance. He or dered out the police, and after searching for some time they found the body of M 6 ALoorr lying on the road dread fully ma ngled ; his skull was laid open, it is suppos e d w i th a hatchet. Wounds were inflicted with bay-forks, and one by a sabre. A rope was fastened round his neck.

His MAJESTY, attended by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, 14 St. J imes's Palace about a quarter past seven o'clock on Tuesday evening, on his return to the Palace at Windsor. Major-General NIcOLAY left town on Tuesday night for Plymouth, to embalk for the Mauritius, of which colony he has been appointed Governor. Prince TALLEYRAND, the French Ambassador, received despatches yesterday from Paris; his Excellency went afterwards to Viscount PALMERSTON, and bad an inter view with his Lordship. The Commander of the Forces visited Sir JAMES GRAHAM yesterday at the Admiralty. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT and Sir H. DALRYMPLE visited Viscount ALTHORP yesterday, at the Treasury. WINDSOR, Nov. 7. Yesterday evening his MAJESTY returned to the Castl at ten o'clock, escorted by a party of the Royal Blues. This forenoon the KING, accompanied by Sir ANDREW BARNARD, left the Coyle in a close carriage, and proceeded to the Stud house, at Hampton Court, where his MAJESTY was received by the Earl of ALBEMARLE, Master of the Horse, with whom his MAJESTY inspected the stud, and partook of an elegant luncheon prepared for his reception ; afterwards the KING returned to the Castle. This afternoon Lord FARNBOROUGH is expected to ar rive at the Castle, on a visit to their MAJESTIES. This afternoon the QUEEN'S saddle horses were ordered at the usual time, hut, owing to the coldness of the weather, her MAJESTY did not leave the Castle. _ _ Several of the household have already left for Brighton, and two services of the King's plate have. been forwarded to the Pavilion. We are happy to state that their MAJESTIES continue to enjoy excellent health. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. Earl Normanton, at Seamore.place, from his seat, Sommerley, Hants; Col.

A marriage is said to be on the tapis between Viscount BERESFORD and the Hon. Mrs. HOPE, widow of the late Mr. HOPE, of Deep , lean. Lord CHARLES PELHAM CLINTON and Lord THOMAS CHARLE3 PELHAM CLINTON, sons of the Duke of NEWCASTLE, have retired from the Ist Life Guards, in which their Lordships held the commission t , f Cornets, after little more than one year's service. It may he remembered that the appointment of these young Noblemen (who are designated " university soldiers") to the Guards, while at Oxford, excited much interest in the military circles. COUNTY of ROSCOMMON.—Our letters from Roscommon represent the registry as most fav t the cause of independence. O'CoNNoft DoN ,nd 111'. FITZSTEPHEN FRENON attended the registry recently at Strokcstown. Our correspondent states that Mr. KING, the presiding deputy, is acting with fairness and impar tiality.—Dublin Morning Register. COUNTY WICKLOW.—Our valuable corres pondent at Baltinelass states, that in the county Wicklow registry the Conservative interest is completely demolished, and so annoyed are some of the Conservative landlords at the spirit manifested by their tenantry, that they are Wreaking their vengeance upon them ; but nothing will avail them—the people insist upon having the Repeal re presentatives, They are most desirous of knowing who Mr. O'CONNELL will propose as a companion to Mr. GRATTAN.-Dublin Morning Register. DEATH OF SIR JOHN LESLIE.—We regret to announce the death of Professor Sir JOHN LESLIE, who expired on Saturday afternoon, after a very short illness, at his seat of Coates, in Fife. We have not heard what was the particular cause of his death ; he had been for some time afflicted with rose in the leg; but the disease that carried him off so suddenly we have understood to have been an affection of the heart. Dr. THOMSON was sent for by express from Edinburgh, and before he reached Coates Sir JOHN was no more. The death of this distinguis'ed philosopher will create a mighty blank in the scientific world. For original genius, profound literature, and in ventive powers, perhaps he had not an equal in modern times. For the long period of 27 years he tilled in succes sion the chairs of Mathematics and Naiural Philosophy in our University; and few brighter names than his occur in its annals. His reputation was equally high in foreign countries as in his own, and his talents had obtained him the most flattering distinctions from almost every scientific society in Europe. The loss sustained by the Edinburgh University it will not be easy to repair; we know of very few individuals in Scotland whose attainments in that branch of study would warrant them in aspiring to fill the vacancy.—Edinburgh .Advertiser. The lucrative office of Marshal and Associate to the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, held by the present Lord TENTERDEN, upon whom it was, of course, bestowed by his father, is a patent appoint ment, and its duties are executed by Mr. Thos. ABBuTT, nephew, we believe, to the deceased Chief Justice, who acts as his Lordship's deputy. The Chief Justice's salary of 10,0001. per annum is paid from the Civil List and Ginsolidated Fund, in the proportion of 4,0001. from the former, and 6,000/. from the latter. Sir THOMAS DEN MAN'S elevation to the Bench causes a vacancy in the re• presentation of Nottingham, for which he was for many years the representative. TENDER MERCIES OF TORYISM.—The expiring effort lately made by some people at Evesham to introduce a Tory candidate (which we briefly described in our paper of the 26• h ult.), gave rise the same week to a satirical song, entitled " Me and my Neddy," which was sung and sold in character by a shr wd son of Orpheus from the adjoining hills, duly mounted on his long-eared Pegasus. The success of his speculation so terribly v eiled certain self-styled Conservatives, who profess to recognize some marked features of their own character therein, that on the following Tuesday they summoned the humble songster before the Magistrates of their Tory corporation for selling printed papers not having a printer's name. These Justices " of their mere mercy and special grace," have in consequence convicted the luckless wight, not of one breach of the statute, but of three several infractions upon three several copies of the song, which they suffered to be successively produced before them. The fruit of these merciful convictions is a penalty of 151., for which, we learn, a warrant of distress is issued upon the poor fel low's goods and chattels. What adds to the despicable character of this procedure is the fact, that during a late election the town was deluged by nameless handbills from this self-same Tory party. I have added a copy of the song for your inspection, to show its harmless nature. The song is dull and harmless enough. The Liberals should en:hie the songster to appeal against the convic tion.—Correspondent of the Times. • STATUE OF THE DUKE OF YORK.—The column erecting on the old site of Carlton-house, to the memory of his late Royal Highness the Duke of YORE, is now fast approaching completion. It is, we under stand, to be carried to an elevation of 120 feet, and is to be surmounted by a colossal statue of the Duke, round which will be erected a gallery, to which the public will be admitted by means of a spir .1 staircase, something simi lar to that within tl e Monument. It is a plain pillar, and the stone of which it is composed is prepared in the yard of the stone-mason in the form in which it is to be raised. At the meeting of the Committee of creditors yesterday, a letter was sent to the Chairman, suggesting the propriety of presenting a memorial to his MAJESTY, praying that the erection of this monument might he dis continued until the debts of the individual whose merits it was intended to commemorate had been paid. The Chairman remarked, however, that the expenses were to be borne out of a subscription which had already been raised under the direction of persons over whom his MA• JEST? had no•control. Of the good taste of the indi viduals who are engaged in this work he could not speak in terms of praise ; he yet hoped, however, that before it sas finishd all cause for regarding it with f.elings of hos tility would be remove-d. A sugges ion was made for at taching to the base of the column a list of his Royal High ness's creditors, with the amount of their respective de'tts, to defray the expense of which, on a brass plate, he hat no doubt many of the creditors would willingly contribute. The proposition was received with comidt•rable merri ment, and it was admitted that such an exhibition would not be without a beneficial effect upon the minds of those who might hereafter he called upon to put faith in the promises of Princes of the House of Brunswick. The sale of the library of the late Sir JAMES Macxxwrostt commenced at Mr. EVANS'S rooms, in Pall-mill, on Monday, anti a numerous company were assembled long before the hour of sale. We noticed the Princes CIMETELI, and M. VAN DE WEYER, the Belgian Minister, in conversation with Sir ROBERT Iseus, as we ntered the room, and many of the well-known collectors -ere formed in groups, talking in high spirits, excited by the prices which the books produced. Sir JAMES, like the poet Lucutus, seems to have considered his hooks as the faithful depositories of his most sacred opinions, and we were much amused in reading the notices with which boost evt ry voluthe abounds. In " Adolphus's History of George the Third" is this critique of tie work :—" A mere apology for the reign, a Trt-asury pamphlet in three volumes, but more decent and specious than Giff►rd ;" and on the margin in numerous places the eye is arrested by the words " stuff!" " What does he mean ?" &c. BURKE'S character is summed up, " elegant, acute, ver bose, vague ;" and in " Brodie's British Empire" we found numerous calculations on the &crease of crime in the present century, as compared with the earlier apt' of our history. In a volums of BENTHAM'S works he has recorded that it was presented to him whilst dining tete-a tete with the great Reformer. OUR ISLAND.—Although it seems to be the penchant of the WI iter of this work to describe the dark •i ie of human character, it cannot be denied that he has done so with all the success which the ee!eetion of strik ing attributes and powerful situations can impart. Whe ther he places before us the gaming -tattle, the race-course, the duelling• field, the election-committee-room, the stock excliange, the private marl-house, or the secret chamber of the scheming adventurer, he fails not to enchain our attention to each of the scenes, and all the persons pre sented in turn according to the humour or design of his fincy. A universal famine extends throughout the whole g•oup of the Cape de Verd Islands, in consequence of the want of rain for the last three years ; the trees and all kinds of vegetation were withering and passing away. Most of the animals had died from starvation. It was no uncommon thing to see women and chillren gathering :rem the streets old bones that had been thrown away, ma eagerly devouring them. There are from GO 000 to 70.000 souls in the island. It was computed that from tvelve to fourteen died daily of inanition at Port Praya. MUSIC LICENSES.—A numerous and re spectable ineeti , g was held last night, in the long room of White Conduit-house, for the pull:else of petitioning the LORD CHAMBERLAIN to gralt music licenses, which had been capriciously refused by the Middlesex Magistrates. Tee proceedings were opened by the Chairman, Mr. REVELL, who advocated the right of the middling and lower chases to amusement, vindicated the respectability of the establishment in question, and denied the interpre tation put upon the Act of George 11. by the Magistrates, who refused to license well-conducted places of public re sort. Mr. WOOLER proposed a resolution expressive of t:ie great improvement which had taken place in the general management of White Conduit-house, and in the character of the company by whom it was frequented, and also approving of the entertainments produced there, as adapted to an enlightened public. The resolution was unanimously agreed to. Mr. RAYNER, of the Strand theatre, presented himself to the meeting as one of the sufferers from Magisterial caprice, and was most cordially received. He moved a vote of thanks, which was also carried unanimously, to WILLIAM CLAY, Esq., for his manly disclaimer of the conduct pursued by the Magistrates. Lieutenants DENHAMand ROBINSON, R.N., who have been employed for several years in surveying the British Channel, will terminate their labours during the present autumn. It seems strange, that after the numerous voyages round the worl.t—to the North Pole and the South Pole. to the east and to the west,—it should have been left for these gentlemen to make a voyage of dis covery to an island not further from our own shores than the entrance of the Bristol Channel. This, however, seems to have been the case, and stranger still, they have discovered that Lundy Island, which has hitherto been abandoned entirely to a few pilots and fishing-boats pos sesses a good roadstead, where a considerable fleet might ride securely in westerly gales. The promulgation of this information may prevent the necessity of vessels out ward bound, when meeting an adverse wind, running back upon the dangerous coast of Wales, or returning over the formidable bar of Bideford and Barnstaple. To nine teen tweniieths of the people of England, Lundy, although so near home, is a perfect terra incognita. The island is situated in the channel, about midway between Devon shire and Pembrokeshire, and although five miles in length anti two in breadth, we believe its only inhabitants are the inmates of a solitary farm-house, and the keepers of the lighthouses. It is encompassed by inaccessible rocks, having but one entrance, where scarcely two persons cal p .ss abreast. It would appear from the following extract ft oat an old Chronicle, that in the reign of HENRY 111. it was fortified In the year 1238 WILLIAM de MA* RISCO, who by evil practices thought to have Blayne the King in his he't-chamber at Woodstocke, being appre hended, escaped, and fortified the Isle of Lundy, in the Channel of Bristolt., doing much mischiefe by piracies but was not long after taken, with 16 of his accomplices , and executed in London." Lundy Is'and has lately had excellent lighthouses erected upon it, and is likely to be come of more importance from the recent discovery of valuable silver and copper mine. It was formerly the property of Sir JOHN BORLASE WARREN, but being cosy' sidered of little value, it was Fold for a trifle, and has since frequently changed owners, till it fell into the hands of the present fortunate possessors, who will, it is said, realize at least 12,0001. a year by the mines alone. THE DUKE OF BEDFORD'S TENANTS."' The Huntingdon Independent Press contains a report 0 1 the speeches naasle at the last annual dinner of the Bed fordshire Agricultural Society. The Marquis of TAWS . TOCK, in returning thanks, on his health being drunk , made the following observations, which, after the calurneY circulated respecting the conduct of the Duke of BenrooD to his tenants, deserve to be quoted. The Marquis said , " To live and let live' was the principle on which his fa ther had always desired to act, and therefore, in compli ance with that principle, he wished to see every one con . nected with him in the full enjoyment of the same power that he desired to claim for himself—namely, the power of acting freely on all political matters, according to the dictates of his own conscience. With respect to his to slants, he frit that he was entitled to the punctual par meat of their rents, to the due fulfilment of their cove nants, and to the good cultivation of their farms; but, having made no stipulation for their votes, that he was not entitled to their consciences. If, therefore, there were any of the Duke of BEDFORD'S tenants present who h th a i dnkr election,ienlug tnaontt erroneously,l y p a pp r o r n o promised approving gt toat of votethhies their or political landlord son a pwr at ensuing id e pp l e e n ns , s e uing never theless, r. theless, require their votes—if there were any present who ' had unwillingly prontised under such a persuasion, he de. dared to them on the part of the Duke of BEDFORD (al' though he thought it right to say that he had no authority from his father to do so, but knowing the liberality of his respect e sentiments and the generosity o f hi s h eart in all t h e se matters, he felt assured that he w as not go i ng one step too far when he declared), that he re l ease d a l l such ten "! from promises so given, and d es i re d t h em to g i ve t heir votes honestly and fearlessly, according over rrtinhir gethpeomlittichsa,t would votes stiil would andnv to question by their landlord, wh o , h owever b e might l a rneot dependence.—(Great appl ause. ) He perceived that till' did him the honour to mar k t l e i r approbation of t hi s d'" claration, hut he felt th at h e could claim no mer i t f o r it , because he thought th a t i t was not only wrong but foollib to attempt to coer ce t enants i n the exercise of the e ie , ° :i honourtbh e e i brought r oo theirup i g n h i t O i t e five franchise, for h e h a d lived long enough i n t h e woe to know the val ue o f a good tenant to his landlor d, ant the fo ly of quarrelling with him on account of an hell° difference ha political sentiments. And he was, mo m over, persuad e d, t h at if the Duke o f B EDFORD cou ld e ver far forget the duty he owed to his tenants and himself' to attempt to force them to vote according to his will s t % pleasure, a t t h e expense o f t h e i r own consc i ences , e were few of them who would not have the eoump . .. and the manli ness , an d t h e p u blic spirit, t o res i s t so da d I, an outrage upon the rights and feelings of men, who,, though re n ti ng un d er him, must yet k now th a t like hi if self they were born in a Gee country—that like bile they , were under a free Constitution—and, therefore, 1 : -- o e like hi mse lf, as t h e y are res p ons ibl e t o th e ir C re ator t o - 1 0 for their re li g i ous o pi nions , so f or their p o litical coe d it are a nswe r a bl e , no t to their landlord, but to tbt King and country." • tr e lap di be g ti c and tab ti o Pra
