MACLEAN, Secretary. With but few exceptions, the Country Jour nals—and we have perused some dozens of theth this day—are all strenuously advoca ting the creation of new Peers, as the most fitting mode of commencing the public business of the new year. All, too, seem nearly equally hopeless of the success of the Reform Bill, unless such creation is promptly resorted to. We hope the Mi nisters will see the necessity of setting the country at ease upon this subject ; it is really one of pa ramount importance, and beside which all others sink into comparative insignificance. As for conciliation, Government may be the gentlest of the gentle, the meekest of the meek, towards their malignant adversaries the Ultras, yet gain nothing but contempt and ridicule for their pains. The Anti-Reformers must be awed into submission. The utter abolition of the French Hereditary Peerage (though the measure, as passed, by o►nitting the condition added to the category by he Chamber of Deputies, as well as in other respects, is inconsistent and unprincipled) is an event perhap s the most important that has signa hzed the cours e of the year that has passed. It To our own country, at this especial crisis, the spectacle of the dissolution of the Hereditary Nobility of France is the more interesting, because, through the machinat ions of borough mongers and stock-jobbers, our own Nobility ha s been reduced to the possession of a very equivocal share of the public esteem. Not that there is any diminution of the general respect for those noble families whose blood has for centuries been identified with all that adorns the history of the country, and who continue to shew that they re verence the rights of the people, by whom they, on their side, are likewise reverenced ; but it is useless to mince the fact that the late vote of the House of Lords has called forth a multitude of vague expressions of dislike of and disrespect for an institution which has thus taken upon itself to frustrate the national wishes. This has happened too, in a country " fond to a weakness," as Mr. Fox expressed it, " of its Aristocracy," and whose middling classes are less disposed for changes of doubtful benefit than those of any other country in the world. The English character is, as it has always been, slow to countenance new opinions, either i❑ politics or any thing else ; it has noto• riously a fear of new theories ; a horror of meta physical speculations ; and an extreme reluc tance, above all things, to sanction any constitu tional change, of whose absolute necessity it is not convinced. With such national feelings, the idea of a revolutionary spirit being abroad, seeking change merely for its own sake, is an inconsistency that must strike any one accus tomed to reflect on such matters; and, from similar considerations, it follows as a natural inference that to attribute to the English people a levelling desire to abolish aristocracy, argues an inadvertence to the true character of the nation. When so large a portion of high birth, rank, and property, are united in supporting a measure for which the people are crying out, it would be most inconsistent on thwart of the people to seek to rid themselves of their best and most powerful friends, and the middle classes are too sagacious not to discern their friends from their enemies. The audience of the Rotunda may cry " No Peers," as they used to cry " No Popery," but we utterly deny that there is, as yet, any feeling among the influential or respectable classes of society, to bring the second branch of the Legislature to an end, or to touch its hereditary character or privileges. If then, at the opening of the year 1832, the national feeling towards the British Peerage be so indulgent as we have described it, how la mentable must be the folly and wickedness of those who would have the Peers a second time offend the patience and long suffering of the nation ? With what bitterness would the future historian record that the intrigues of jobbing boroughmongers had brought into jeopardy the existence of the ancient British nobility, had de stroyed the ancient security of British property, and had been the means of substituting mob-law and anarchy, for the long-established Govern ment of King, Lords, and Commons P We say that Aristocracy is for the Bill—that property is for the Bill—that learning and science are for the Bill—that the mass of the people is for the Bill--that the SOVEREIGN is for the Bill and we are answered—the Bill is revolutionary, and our masters, the boroughmongers, cannot permit it to pass The fnllowiug are extracts from Dutch and German Papers received this mo rning:— °THE HAGUE, DEC. 29.—The Second Chamber of the States-General, in its sittings of the 28th and 29th, con tinued the debate on the project of law relative to the land-tax, which was adopted by a majority of 33 to IS' and sent to the First Chamber, from which a message was received, announcing its assent to the project of law fixing the budget of the ordinary expences for 1832. DEC. 30.—T0-day the Second Chamb-r commenced the discussion of the ways and means for providing for the expenditure of 1832. His Majesty, by a resolution of the 13th instant, has ordered an additional battalion of artillery to be formed at Naorden. It may be raised to eight companies, but for the present only six are to be raised. The treacherous conduct of the Belgian Major Du Bosch, at Fort St. Philip, has given rise to a very angry corre spondence between General Chass, Governor of the cita del, and Colonel Bagen, Military Governor of the city, in which the Baron declares, that as the proceedings of the Bel gian officers of engineers on the dike near Fort St. Philip seem to indicate an intention of erecting some military works there, the Baron Chasse shall consider all works of that description on the banks of the Scheldt, directed against his communications or the stations of the naval force, as acts of hostility which he will resist. General Chasm adds, that he thought it . proper to inform the Colo nel of the effect which this might have on the navigation of the Belgians on the Scheldt, and also to remind him to what such proceedings might expose the city of Antwerp, being garrisoned by Belgian troops. ♦MSTEkDLM, DEC. 31.

What the fate of this republic will be is still uncertain, but every one p-rceives that a new organization is necessary, the revolution in Poland having completely unhinged the whole machinery of BUCHAREST, DEC. I.—Letters from Constantinople, of the 17th of November, state that news had been brought by a ship, which had arrived in two days from Syra, that the Greek National Assembly had b:en con voked, and that the blockade of the Island of Hydra by the ships of the Allied Powers had been raised. ST. PETERSFICII.GII, DEC. Imperial Hightlee the Grand Duke Michael arrived in this capital yesterday evening. Letters from Archangel say that the cholera had wholly ceased in that part. The value of the goods exposed for sale at the late fair at Nishncy Novogorod was nearly 130,000,000 of rubles, including nearly 94,000,000 of Russian goods, 11,500,000 of Chinese, 14,000,000 of European and Colonial, bOO,OOO of Busharian, nearly 2,000,000 of Persian, and 900,000 of Armenian, besides horses and cattle to the value of 750,000 rubles. The total sold was to the value of above 980,000,000. The Petersburgh Journals announce numerous promo .ions, POLISH FRONTIERS, DEC. 19.-The Polish troops who sought protection in Prussia, and are included in the Imperial Amnesty, have began for some time their march homewards. They are formed into detachments, con ducted to the frontiers, and there given up to the Russian Commissioners. This was done to-day with the let and 2d detachments on the Polish frontier, near Strasburg, where Colonel Van Seddeler, as the Russian Commis sioner, received them. These detachments consist of 736 and 849 men. Their march had been conducted with order and tranquillity, and the delivering up took place in the same manner. They were drawn up in a line, and received by Colonel Van Seddeler with a salutation which they returned by most hearty expressions of gratitude; they were then drawn up in a circle round him, and the classes of persons excluded from the amnesty again distinctly pointed out to them, and those who felt themselves implicated in any of them were informed that they were at liberty to remain where they were. :None such, however, were found among them ; on the contrary, they expressed their gratitude to the Emperor by loud acclamations, and joyfully crossed the frontier ; they were then again drawn up and.the men sent to their respective provinces. No Russian troops, except ten Cossacks, were present, and the returning Poles found themselves treated with 93 much forbearance and kindness, that they now congratulated themselves on having confided in the promise of a free return to their families. They have every reason for this, for they are well treated, dismissed with means to support them till they reach their homes, and most of the old soldiers, who can ❑ot maintain themselves, will he incorporated with the companies of veterans. The remaining detachments will follow in a few days. BERLIN, Dr.c. 26.—Yesterday and to-day there have been no new cases of cholera, and no deaths, but one re covery, so that we have now four patients remaining. _ HAMBURG—CHOLERA. New cases.

On Tuesday last died, by his own hand, at Chipping Warden, near Banbury, the Rev. Joini LAME, D.D., formerly fellow of Queen's College, Oxford, and rector of Chipping Warden and of Charwelton, in the county of Northampton. The doctor died at an advanced age, having been for a long period curate and vicar of Banbury, which vicarage he resigned, on his institution to the rectory of Chipping Warden, the 4th of November, 1815, on the presentation of FRANCIS, Earl of Guilford. He used to remark, in an affectionate man ❑er, among his old parishioners of Banbury, that he thought he had baptised about half of them ; and he always noticed in a particular manner the poor old people whom he re membered. Latterly he appeared to be in a very strange and sometimes desponding way. On Tuesday morning last lie was called by (we believe) a young relative, who received no answer. Shortly afterwards he was again called by the same individual, who found his door fastened. The doctor replied, desiring him to go down stairs, adding "and Goo bless you." The report of a pistol was almost immediately heard; this was about nine. On forcing the door, about which there was some little delay, he was found upon the bed and expiring. The pistol bore the appearance of having been overcharged. The ball entered below his breast, on the left side, and passed out near his shoulder, perforating many times a blanket which was folded on the bed. An inquest was held on Wednesday. Verdict, " Lunacy."— Qxfurd Herald. This morning these Sessions commenced before F. CONST, Esq. Chairman, and a bench of Magistrates. Charles Fox Oppenheim was indicted for fraudulently converting to his own use the proceeds of a bill of ex change for 371 the property of Mr. Charles Walker. Mr• Atr,rtv (with whom was Mr. BARRY) stated the case to the Jury. The indictment was preferred in pur suance of an Act of Sir R. Peel's (which amended a for mer Act) by which it was made a misdemeanour, punish ableby fine,imprisonment, or by transportation, for any agent entrusted with a bill of exchange, or other negotiable se curity, for the purpose of getting it discounted, or for any other special purpose, to convert it to his own use. That Art, however, provided that the directions as to the pur pose to which the bill was to he applied should be given to the agent in writing. The circumstances of the present case were these :—Mr. Walker and the defendant had been formerly acquainted, and had had money trans a.ttions with each other. In the summer of 1830 the prosecutor give the defendant the bill of ex• change for 371. with a verbal direction to get it discounted. The defendant then gave the prose cutor a memorandum acknowledging that be had the bill to get discounted, or undertaking to return it on the follow ing day. However, he did not return it, but converted it to his own use, and before he could he apprehended be sailed to India, and upon his return to England the present indictment was preferred. Mr. Anor.rrius took an objection to the case being proceeded in. He would even take the case as detailed by Mr. Alley, and he contended that there was no offence within the meaning of the Aet. The Act required that a person, entrusting a bill of exchange to an agent for a certain purpose, must give a written direction to the agent. In this case there was no writti n direction given by the prosecutor, there was nothing in writing but an acknowledgment by the defendant, and while that document made the defendant amenable to a civil action, it took away all criminal jurisdiction. The Learned Counsel, in addition, begged to state that the bill in question was drawn by the defendant on and accepted by the prosecutor. ' The CHAIRMAN was of opinion that Mr. Adolphus's objection was a good one, and therefore stopped the case. —The defendant was then acquitted. Edward Smith, Charles Barnett, James Thompson, and Thomas Grace, stood indicted for unlawfully and maliciously printing and publishing a❑ inflammatory libel in the Satirist newspaper, on the 20th Nov., of and concerning John Winter Hart. _ The only defendant who appeared was Thomas Grace. The prosecutor himself not appearing. The CHAIRMAN directed the Jury to find the defendant Not Guilty. - - - . Mr. C. PHILLIPS, for Mr. Grace, expressed his indig nation at such a disgraceful prosecution. He said the prose cutor, who now refused to appear, finding himself aggrieved by something that appeared in the Satirist, did not choose to prosecute the proprietary or printers, but went and laid an indictment against several poor newsmen, who very probably never opened the Paper or knew what it contained. The Jury found the defendant Not Guilty. The alleged libel was a paragraph imputing fraud to the prosecutor in some bill transactions. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK We stated last week in our city article, that the po litical horizon on the Continent was again darkened ; arid it now appears by accounts from Brussels, of the 28th ult., that the negociations pursued by the Conference are again complicated within a few days by the singular pretension of the King of Holland relative to the demo lition of the fortresses, on which they are now treating. The King of Holland pretends they cannot be demolished without his consent, as these fortresses were erected as a harrier against France, and as a security for this country. This, added to the bad disposition of the Court of Russia, has caused much anxiety in the public spirit. The following is the answer of the Emperor of Russia to Baron Heckerew, sent by the King of Holland : " The Emperor of Russia cannot promise to the King of Holland the desired assistance, if he does not wish to accept the 24 articles ; but the Emperor will not prevent the King of Holland to continue ti war at his own risk. On the contrary, the Emperor expects that no other Power will interfere, if he does not ; and that the King of Holland may try to what extent he can succeed against the Belgians." Accounts have been received from Rio Janeiro this morning by the Antelope, arrived at Cowes, and by the Medusa at Jersey, to the 29th October. All was per fectly tranquil.

It is a new sign that we are living in a period of transition from the ages in which Aristocracy, tainted by the tyranny of feudalism, though illustrated by the glories of chivalry, has been the ruling element, to an epoch, which though less brilliant, and more mechanical, will be one in which the people wil govern themselves, and wherein the greatest good of the greatest number will eventually be the object of the labours of Legislatures. the existing Government. The Russians quitted our territory on the 24th November, having conducted themselves in the most orderly manner in the city, and, with the exception of some little irregularities in the country, their discipline is spoken of in high terms. They were quartered, indeed, on the inhabitants, but pro vided for their own subsistence. The Austrians still oc cupy their positions. The Prussians have only a detach. ment of 40 Hulans. Since the departure of the Russians numbers of Polish soldiers, who will not go back to Po land, arrive here. They are in a most destitute condition, for all who were able to find means have emigrated to foreign countries. ELBERG, DEC. 20.—Most of the Polish subalterns and privates have left this province to return home, except a small number, who refuse to go to Poland, and are ordered to their old cantonments. The Polish officers have also began to leave us. Those of Gielgud's corps, to whom the fortress of Weichselmende was assigned as their abode, presented to the Governor, on their departure, a silver cup of considerable value, as a testimony of their grati tude for the kind reception which they met with there. MA PENCE, DEC. 10.—If the sale of the magazines of provisions in our fortress entitles us to form a favourable opinion of the state of political affairs, we may draw such an inference from a sa'e just made by order of the Diet of the very great stock of meat, &c. The sale of the pulse will follow next. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-(THIS DAY.) THE FUNDS The estafette from Paris brings the French Rentes con siderably lower, 67f. 10e. This reduction, it is stated, was owing to a speech of one of the French Ministers, in which he stated that the Powers of the continent had refused to disarm. If so, this does not correspond with the Messager des Chanzbres, received on Saturday, stating that Soult assured the deputation that they might con tinue their operations with security, and that war was not, likely to take place. In consequence of the above report our Funds, which left off on Saturday at 84, opened at 8311 for the account at which price they are at present. In the Foreign Market little doing except in Belgian Scrip, owing to this being the day appointed to pay the first instalment, and it may be quoted at 1 to ;} premium. RALF•PAST ONE. Calcutta Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the 10th of August, three days later. They announce the death of the distinguished officer, Commodore Sir John Hayes, which took place at the Cocoa Island, on the 3d ult. Mr. Lindsay, Secretary to the Select Committee, had come to Canton and found an opportunity of placing in the hands of a military officer of distinction the documents and keys of the Company's premises, which he had offered to the King, but which they were afraid to present. In this state the affairs re mained on the let of June. Consols still continue rather hesvy at 83i for the ac count ; in the early part of the day they were done at 83a The private letters from Holland are of a contradictory nature, some are very warlike, while others are pacific, but it is certain that great preparations are still making, and it was generally believed that Austria, Prussia, and Russia were going to take Holland under their protection. THREE 0 CL 0 CK. Consols for Account, 84. At two o'clock this day a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-Office, which was attended by Earl GREY, the Marquis of LaNsnowNE, Lord ALTHORP, Lord GODERICH, Lord MELBOURNE, Lord PALMERSTON, the Duke of RICHMOND, the Right Hon• CHARLES GRANT, and Mr. STANLEY. The King's State Paper Office, in Great George-street, Westminster, is now standing in a most dangerous state. The foundation in front has given way, and the whole building is supported by shores, which seem too weak to keep up the impending ruin. Public safety calls for some attention to this nuisance- It is a remarkable fact, and well worthy of notice at a time when the faction is exclaiming that the tithe opposition will extend to the landlords' demands, &c., that the rents of the county of Kilkenny, county Tippe rary, &c., were never more easily collected than at the present moment. The agents of Lords ORMONDE and NORMA STOWN, have returned from the estates of those Noblemen in the above named counties, and ex press the highest satisfaction at the manner in which the tenantry have met their call. This is as it should be. We would blush at either the ignorance or the dishonesty of our countrymen, if they confounded the landlord's equitable demand with the outrageous bur den imposed on them to maintain the luxurious dignitaries of a church in the doctrines of which they cannot believe, and which, did it not bear the name of Christ, the insolent bearing, the avarice, and the uncharitableness of many of those dignitaries, would lead them to conclude was any thing but Christian.—Kilkenny Journal. BRISTOL, JAN. I.—The Judges named in the Commission, Chief Justice TINDAL, BOSANQUET, and TAUNTON, will be met at Totterdown to-morrow morning at ten o'clock by the Sheriffs and the javelin-men and constables, and escorted into the city, when the Commis sion will be opened. The Ccurt will then be adjourned to the following morning., when the trials will be pro ceeded with. Sir THOMAS DENMAN, it is understood, will conduct the prosecntions. The several statements that have appeared within these few days, relative to the holding of the Court-martial, are without foundation. There is little doubt, however, that the Court-martial will immediately follow the Special Commission. The num ber of prisoner (rioters) in the calendar is 112. namely— For firing and destroying the gaol, 12 ; ditto Bridewell, 5 ; for ditto and plundering private houses, 81 ; for riotously assembling, 7 ; for demanding and obtaining by force spi rits, beer, &c. from various publicans, 7—total, 112.- 1 .74forniug Herald Correspondent.

There were abundant supplies of all kinds of Grain and Flour last week, which, with the arrival this morning, constittittd a large show of samples in the market. The Wheat trade is very heavy, but for the best samples we do not quote any alteration ; other sorts are submitted at a little less money. The Barley trade may be reported 2s. per quarter cheaper for all but superfine parcels. Beans are dull, but not cheaper. Pease of both kinds are plentiful, and may be stated at Is. per quarter lower. Oats being very plentiful, and the demand but slack, they may be quoted Is. per quarter cheaper than on this day se'nnight. The Flour trade is excessively dull, owing to the large supply, but the top is nominally the same as last week. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP.

NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET—Dec 31. Having had much wet heavy weather lately, our farmers' Wheats to-daylwere in poor condition ; but the supply not being large, sales were steady at rather better prices, not much doing in ship or granaried parcels.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, accom panied by his son, Viscount SEAHAM —a fine, intelligent looking youth—and Mr. TREVOR, paid a visit to this city en Saturday last. We have beard, that while his Lord ship was in the town, he declared that he had been much deceived, as to the state of public feeling in this minty, on the subject of Reform ! We do not vouch for the accuracy of this information ; though we have received it from what we deem tolerably good authority—but if his Lord• ship have been abused in the manner we understand him to have represented, it would be doing a service to the publi, to have it explained by whom—whether by public jour nalists or otherwise. If the statement made to us be true, we shall hope to see the Noble Marquis yet embarked with " the Bill."—Due ham Chronicle. This year (1832) BRAHAM will have been upon the stage for half a century. His first appearance was at the Royalty, when opened by JOHN PALMER. IL was then a juvenile prodigy. How many notes has be sent forth and received during his 50 years' experience ? The cholera at Gateshead appears already to have spent its fury. Though on Tuesday there were upwards; of thirty deaths, yesterday and Friday, according to the official report, there were only three. The Gateshead. Board of Health, in their report of this day, 31st Decem ber, state, it is true, that there are 20 new cases, but they state also that there are 22 recoveries, and only eight deaths. The progress and virulence of the disease must still notwithstanding be admitted to be decidedly greater at Gateshead, in proportion to its population, than it has been either at Sunderland or Newcastle. The medical gentlemen, as it may be readily supposed in a place like Gateshead, were not sufficiently numerous to grapple svith it on its first attack, and I have no doubt :mole lives were lost for want of timely assistance. The surgeons of New castle have since done what they could to supply the de ficiency, but in a crisis like the present why do the Go vernment not send down members of the faculty of known talent, willing, in good earnest, to exert themselves. We had, it is true, Dr. Barry and Dr. Dann here, but what did they do? While they were in the north they saw a few, and but a few, cases of cholera. Their chief, almost their sole, duty appeared to be to receive the accoonts of the different surgeons, and from them to make up the re ports. But might not this have been done as well by an unmedical as a medical man ? In justice to Dr. Gibson, another of the Government agents, I must admit that he is an exception. He has gone to see several cases, and is very attentive to the hospital—but he cannot do every thing. There must be more assistance, and I should con ceive there can be no difficulty in supplying it from the army and navy surgeons on half-pay. There is an entire family, a father, a mother, and four children, in the Gateshead Hospital. This, with many, will be regarded as evidence of contagion : but on that subject I have just heard of a case which, I think, can leave no doubt on the minds of unprejudiced men : a woman, whose husband died of cholera in Sandgate, in this town, went a few day's afterwards to visit her father in-I lw at Lemington, a shove Newcastle, on the side of the river. She was there ettacked with cholera, and in consequence of the great unwillingness of the eeople to suffer her to remain, she was brought down to Sand gate, and died there. In a len , days after this, her father in-law, at Lemington, was attacked and died ! Mr. Baird, et respectable surgeon of Newc istle, has published a letter, in which he states, that conceiving spasmodic cholera in many of its symptoms to resemble tetanus, he resolved to try similar treatment. With this view, the other day, be determined to give a man of the name of Smith or Crowe, in Gateshead, who appeared to he from cholera in the very jaws of death, a tobacco enema. He introduced into the intestines half a drachm of tobacco, boiled in a pint of water ; this produced a clammy perspiration, and a slight pulse : it was repeated with the like good effect, and the man recovered. In con sequence of this success, thesame treatment, I am informed, has been tried in two other cases, and utterly failed—the patients having expired very speedily. Maetard, which was successful in some cases at Sunderland, has been tried here, but I am told it has been too unfortunate to justify its continuance, unless where very skilfully applied. Nothing seems to be more clear than that the medical men are a loss to treat this complaint successfully. The Newcastle Board of Health informs us in their report to-day that there are twenty-three new cases, seven recoveries, and four deaths, and seventy-six cases remain mg under treatment ; but of these seventy-six I know forty are in the township of Byker. The disease, 1 ~m sorry to say, has made its way into the higher as well as the lower part of the town, even to the Westgate, the western suburb of Newcastle, which is in the county of Northumberland ;—but still the victims are the poor, ill-fed, intemperate, and ill-lodged. The Board of Health hare issued a notice, rcconan.ending people to abstain from going to assemblies, or large meetings. THE CHOLERA AT GATESHEAD AM) NEWCASTLE. (FROM OUR cYW CORRRSPONDENT.)
