A T a most numerous Meeting of the Gene ral 4 -1 - Committee for conducting the ELECTION of Sir WILLIAM HORNE, held at the Committee-room, No. 57, Harley-street, on Friday Evening, the 23d of November, 1832, G. A. Yount, Esq., of Portland-place, in the Chair, After Sir WILLIAM HORNE had addressed the meet. 'ttg and retired, It was unanimously Resolved, upon the Motion of J. G. I E•q , seconded by the Right Honourable Lieut..- General Sir JOHN BYNG, M.P. That the Committee cannot express too strongly their continued confidence in the character and integrity of Sir 'William Horne, and in his fitness to represent this Borough in Parliament. And upon the Motion of WILLIAM RICHARDSON, Esq., seconded by Mr. WALENN, That the Committee will use their utmost endeavours to secure his Election, at all events. By Order, FREDERICK JAMES FULLER, Secretary. ea, .1... .. s et,r,,, ~, ~.,,...s *... r ,v....,_..i.,„,.._. AO-A 0 ,„.e. 4-...• .r,-- LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 24, 1832. Contrary to general expectation, no further accounts had been received this morning, at a late hour, at the Foreign-office, or at either of the Embassies, from Antwerp or Brussels. Several of the diplomatic corps remained toge ther last night until late, expecting the arrival of a courier, and to-day inquiries were made by them at the Embassies, to which the first news would be sent, and great surprise was expressed a t the non-arrival of despatches. We are assured that the abrogation of the Order appointing Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE Commander of the Foreign Brigade at Oporto, h 5 B arisen entirely at the suggestion of persons Who think it more important that Sir JOHN and t he Duke of TERCEIRA should be Aides-de e4Tflp of the EMPEROR, without separate corn t°and, so as to be able to direct the proceedings esi th e whole army. At the date of the last ad- Il ees Sir JOHN and the Duke or TERCEIRA w ere preparing for a formidable sortie against t he works which the enemy were constructing, f or the purpose of commanding the entrance of t he river. All the private letters received at t he Portuguese Embassy are cheering. The latest accounts from Berlin, received at the Prussian Embassy, throw discredit, as we h ear, upon a report of the King of PRUSSIA being dangerously ill. It would appear that the r eport was set on foot by the Tories here in ; rder to c rea t e a l arm , l est P russ i a s h ou ld inter ere between Belgium and Holland, it being Yell known that the Crown Prince of PRUSSIA 14 as intemperate in his conduct as he is hostile I° the principles on which proceedings have been 4Chap tloted again Holland, and was inferred if he were st to come to the it Crown, during t he present dispute, he would immediately side with the King of HOLLAND. The Russian, Prussian, and Austrian Plenipotentiaries at this Court continue to assure Lord PALMERSTON that they had not the slightest expectation of their Courts interfering hostilely in favour of the Dutch Cabinet. Of all the odd events we have heard of, even in Ireland—where every thing, like the Kil kenny cats, is of the oddest—unquestionably the most surprising is the circumstance of Hr. O'CONNELL attending at a late meeting of red hot Protestants, and drinking not only the " Pious, Glorious, and Immortal Memory," but even his " Royal Highness the Duke of CUM BERLAND"—Grand Master of the Orangemen Who shall say after this that oil and yinegar, critic and poet, can never be brought to agree, when here we have an instance of a .far more discordant alliance? We would have given worlds to have seen the " mighty" agitator's face, when these toasts were first proposed to him. How must it have blended brass with bashfulness, the ludicrous with the sentimental, the staid gravity of the patriot, with the happy indifference of the philosopher 1 That the toasts did not choke " Erin's pride" is evident, for he was afterwards seen alive at the Corn Exchange ; still it may be a matter of curious physical spe culation to ascertain to what extent they have assisted or impeded digestion. We have always contended, and we are now convinced of the justice of our opinion, that an elastic conscience, one we mean that will stretch like Indian rubber, is the one great desideratum of a political agitator. With this he can always manage to keep his head above water; without it, ten to one he sinks " deeper than ever plummet sounded." Mr. O'CONNELL is an instance in point. His sudden change of conduct, from the extreme of animosity to the extreme of amity towards the Orangemen has been the making of him—that is, in so far, as it tends to protract that awful hour when common sense shall come with ex tinguisher in hand, and put out his farthing rush-light for ever. For a season, we repeat, Mr. O'CONNELL'S alliance with the Orangemen may, by causing him to be talked about, serve to keep him afloat—but let him bear this in mind, it will only be for a season ! The Repea humbug, which is the avowed cause of the strange alliance, is the mere bubbl e o f th e mi nute, which the first breath of England's oppo sition will at once scatter to the winds. Mr. O'CONNELL knows this, none better ; but he is just now placed in such a false position, that not to be blamed, not to be praised, not to be talked about, is with him to be damned and annihilated. Were his politics once to degene rate into moderation, his doom would be sealed at once. He feels this, cruelly feels it, and has consequently got up the war-cry of Repeal ;as we have seen a showman at Bartholomew Fair attract attention by his penny trumpet, to the amazing curiosities—the Irish Giant for instance —that may be found within his booth. But these curiosities, observe, are not to be seen for the payment of a huge Catholic rent, but for the small sum of one penny. Of the two show men, therefore, we prefer our Bartholomew Fair friend. He suits our pockets better. The following extracts from German Papers indicate pretty clearly the feelings of Prussia against the French revolution ; but it seems also to admit that Antwerp must yield without, re• ceiving any assistance from Prussia : BERLIN, - Nov. 13.—1 t is melancholy and disgusting to see how events and enterprises on which the welfare of whole countries and nations depends, should be contrived and got up for stage effect in the theatre of the represen tative system. The French Journals do not hesitate to avow that the coup de theatre of the taking of the citadel of Antwerp, is indispensable for the opening of the Chambers, and for the discussion of the address in answer to the speech from the throne, but the right moment must not be missed, for that a fortnight later, it would be no matter whether the citadel were taken or not; nay, that it would be a most unlucky circumstance if, by mere miracle, the citadel should fall into the hands of the Bel gians sooner, as the expected effect would be quite lost. What shall we think of the Council of a great nation, whose representatives see exposed, and blame the whole machinery and variety of such an effect, and continually make it necessary that such slight•of--hand tricks should be exhibited to them? Since the measures already an nounced, no further movements have taken place in the Prussian army. It is reported, however, that a very extensive promo tion may be shortly expected. Mortickr, Nov. 14.—Count Von Turkheim, Bavarian Minister of State, died on the 11th at Ausbach. The death of the Ex-Minister Count Mouteglos is not confirmed. —Frankfort Papers, Nov. 17. PRUSSIA, Nov. 10.—The declaration published to-day in the State Gazette, respecting the policy of our Go vernment, was the more necessary, as the commercial world is greatly alarmed, as the funds fall, and as nothing is more prejudicial to merchants and traders than uncer tainty with respect to political affairs. A large park of artillery is to go from Magdeburg to the Rhine, and con tracts entered into for the subsistence of the troops, in case larger bodies should be collected together. It were much to be wished that the French Government would consider what it is about ; it may, by its irnpru dence, kindle a conflagration which no human hand will be able to extinguish, and which may in the end prove most fatal to France itself. It is the French policy, which, after all the vain attempts to consolidate its new Government, have, at the expense of foreign countries, now made a new one, to maintain by arrogant conduct a system which was already out of joint at its birth. It has met with encouragement in London, from the partiality of Lord Palmerston, and thinks itself now strong enough to appear unmasked, to throw the sword into the balance, and violently to decide a quarrel, with which it has no concern, though the common sense of justice protests against it, and even prudence seems to forbid it ; for the taking of the citadel of Antwerp will neither cool the military ardour of the French party of the mouvement, as they are called—nor so far lull asleep the Cabinet of the Hague, as to induce it to depart from what it believes to be its right, and to subscribe to conditions which it believes would lead to the ruin of the commerce of Holland. Nothing, then, will have been done to pacify the Opposition, or to terminate the diffe rence between Holland and Belgium, if the French campaign is to terminate under the walls of Antwerp. On the contrary, the Opposition would only be furnished with more dangerous weapons, and the Belgian question become more complex. It cannot be unknown to the Cabinet of Paris that the smallest violation of the Dutch territory, or the least attempt to continue the war after the taking of the citadel of Antwerp, would be a declaration of war against the Northern Powers. Where, then, is the use of a military bravado, which may bring the greatest disasters on Antwerp, and yet lead to no result if the promise to confine the expedition to the taking of Antwerp be faithfully observed. VIENNA, Nov. 12.—Five per Cents. 84 9.l6ths ; Four per Cents. 74i; Bank Stock, I,o9l,—Ailye.. meine Zeitung, Nov. 17. We find by the commercial advices from Constantinople to the 12th October, that fears were entertained that the supply of grain from the sea of Azof would be short from the pre cocity of the winter. At Odessa wheat was 22 and 23 roubles the ..,11.:,vrt for new grain. There were at Odessa and the other ports of the Black Sea, 400 vessels awaiting cargoes. Busi ness in Constantinople, for merchandize, would have been active if the plague had not interrupted it. Coffee was in good request, and paid well. Demerara fetched 780 piastres, and there was a probability of an advance during the winter. Few arrivals had taken place. Unfavourable accounts had been received from Metelin, Andramati, and Canai, relative to the olive crop, which, it was said, would be certainly lost. Opium was not very abundant this year. The Exchange on London was 87g. We have repeatedly requested the attention of our readers to cases of distress, but never has it been our painful duty to awaken their bene volence in a cause of such awful affliction as in that which will be found recorded in The Sun of this day under the head of "Dreadful Calamity." Let the reader imagine nineteen fishing-boats, containing one hundred and fourteen men, over taken by a hurricane in the open sea at night, and instantly buried in the overwhelming wave ! Out of this number but three survived to reach the shore, where eighty widows and three hundred orphans awaited in breathless agony to learn the fate of those that never would return ! Let the reader, we say, but just stop for a moment and imagine this scene of sad reality, and we are sure his benevolence and his sympathy will go hand in hand. We never read of a more melancholy catastrophe, or one more deserving the assistance of those whose fortune is not sub ject to such lamentable vicissitudes. In this in stance, charity will indeed be doubly blessed— blessing him that gives and the hundreds who receive. His Majesty's ship Snake arrived at Deal yesterday from off the Texel, where she left the combined squadron, on Thursday. We have accounts from St. John's to the 23d ult. The Alliance, Captain COVELL, had arrived from the Pacific. The Captain states, that on the 7th of May, 1831, in lat. 4, 30 N. long. 168. 40, he discovered a group of islands, not laid down in any chart. He named them the Covell group. It was stated yesterday in the City, on the authority of Mr. ROTHSCHILD'S letters from Paris, that the man who attempted to assassinate the King of FRANCE had been arrested. As no official account of this kind has, however, been received at the French Embassy, we conclude that the statement was unfounded. An express has been received this morning from Paris, bringing the papers of Thursday and the Messager des Chambres, dated yester day. They are principally filled with comments )n the Police trick of M . :TRIERS to assassinate the KING, and the probable result of the grand attack upon the citadel of Antwerp by the French army. A Cabinet Council was held on Thursday, at which his MAJESTY presided, in consequence of a telegraphic despatch received from the Duke of ORLEANS and Marshal GE.. RARD announcing that the whole corps d'armee was then before Antwerp, and that General CHASSE had been summoned to surrender the ci- ,adel, according to the terms of the treaty entered into between Great Britain and France for the final settlement of the Belgian question, but that he positively refused, and was determined to defend it to the last. The attack was expected to take place on the 27th, if negotiations were not en tered into for the evacuation of this fortress. Strong re-inforcements of troops are marching towards the north of France, in case the war should be protracted. The greatest enthusiasm exists in the French army. This news has very little affected the Funds. M. DUPIN has been elected President of the Chamber of Deputies by a great majority. It is reported in the poli tical circles that M. DUPIN has consented to join the Ministry, on condition that the Duchess of BERRY shall be tried by the Chamber of Peers, and that the articles of the Charter of 1830 shall be duly respected. At the close of the Bourse, it was rumoured ...... that an express had arrived at the Prussian Am bassador's, announcing the death of the King Of PRUSSIA. Paris, notwithstanding the affair on Monday, was pretty tranquil, and no emeute was expected. The Funds are rather higher than they left off on Wednesday. A telegraphic despatch had been received by the Minister of Marine, an nouncing that the combined Fleets of England and France were off the Texel. We are happy in being able to announce that Sir WILLIAM HORNE has this day been ap pointed Attorney-General, and is succeeded as Solicitor-General by Mr. CAMPBELL. Both appointments will give satisfaction to the Liberal part of the Bar. The new Law Officer of the Crown cannot be carped at, we should imagine, even by the Tories, for he is acknowledged to be one of the best common-law lawyers in the Court of King's Bench.

SUICIDE IN THE HOUSE OF CORRECTION. -Thomas PELHAM HOLLES,-;ihWT;;;;;;;ivvith passing a forged 501. note, with intent to defraud Mr. BEARDSWORTH, the proprietor of the Birmingham Repo sitory, was found this morning by the turnkey of the House of Correction, to which lie had been committed, hanging in his cell. He was instantly cut down, but it appeared he had been dead a considerable period. PRIVY COUNCIL.-(THIS DAY.) The Lords of the Privy Council sat to-day at the Council_ chamber, Whitehall. The Lords present were the MASTER of the ROLLS, Sir CHARLES ROBINSON, and the Right Hon. EDWARD ELLICE. Their Lordships were occupied the whole morning with Plantation Appeals of no public interest. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY, STEPHENS v. RENNIE AND OTHERS. Mr. PEPYS having replied this morning, - - The LORD CHANCELLOR dissolved the injunction ordering the defendants to keep an account, and left the plain. tiff to bring his action at law. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR took short causes today; but up to the time of our reporter leaving, no case worth reporting had occurred. Sir WILLIAM HORNE has been appointed Attorney, and Mr. CAMPBELL Solicitor-GeneraL In the course of the morning his Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR called upon theformer gentleman, as Mr. Attorney. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE KIND v. EVAN OWEN JONES. In this case a Commission of Bankruptcy had issued against the defendant, who was a trader in Bristol, and who had sub. sequently to the issuing of the commission been indicted for withholding and secreting a portion of his property. He ap. peared in Court this morning to receive judgment. On a former day Mr. Sergeant Bompas obtained a rule Nisi, calling on the prosecutors to show cause why the judgment should not be arrested on two grounds, first, that the commission was not a valid one, and secondly, if it were valid the Bankruptcy was not specifically averred in the indictment. Mr. Sergeant MEREWETHER to-day showed cause against the rule, and contended that the commission having issued it was sufficient prima facie proof of the bankruptcy, and also that the averments in the indictment were good. After hearing the arguments of Counsel, their Lordships gave their judgment seriatim. They were of opinion that the bankruptcy was not sufficiently averred in the indictment, and consequently that the rule for arrest of judgment should be made absolute. A question then arose as to the disposition of the defendant, the Counsel for the prosecution requesting that as there was ano. ther detainer against him he should be sent back to Bristol gaol, and the defendant's Counsel insisting that the Court having de. dared the defendant entitled to his discharge as regarded the question before him, ought to make no other order. The COURT ultimately upon finding that, independently of the present question, the defendant had been committed to Bristol gaol for not answering certain questions put to him by the Commissioners, ordered him to be taken to the King's Bench prison. THE KING v. ROBERT DUDLEY BLAKE, ESQ. . ._ Sir JAMES SCARLETT showed cause to.day against a rule which had been obtained by Mr. Follett, for the discharge of the defendant from custody. The case was being argued when our reporter left. EXCHEQUER CHAMBER.-(THIS DAY The case of Smith v. Latham, in which the plaintiff - brought his action against the defendant as his successor in the office of one of the Paymasters of Exchequer 13111 s, in order to try the right of the Lords of the Treasury to deprive him of his office, was appointed to come on in this Court this morning, before the Barons of the Exchequer and the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas. Their Lordships took their seats at half-past 10 o'clock, but, in consequence of their time at present being so valuable (Monday being the last day of term), they ad journed the hearing of the case till the 14th January, and im mediately rose. Lord LYNDHURST afterwards sat in Equity, and heard Mr. JACOB'S reply in the case of LORD MIJNCASTER v. BRATHWAITE, JONES, AND OTHERS, which was an injunction to restrain the defendant from trying an action at common law for the recovery of the sum of 1,000/. upon a bill of exchange which the plaintiff alleged he had been defrauded of, and that the defendant had a knowledge of that fact. His LORDSHIP said there was no evidence before him to bring any knowledge of the alledged fraud to Brathwaite and Jones, therefore the injunction must be dissolved. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS-(THIS DAY. David Wren, a lad about 14 years of age was indicted for stealing, on the 11th instant, a tea-board, the property of Wil liam Brooke. The prisoner was also charged upon a second indictment, which stated, that at the last Session he was con victed of felony. The first indictment was sustained by the policeman, No. 153, division B, who saw the theft committed. Another policeman deposed, that at the Old Bailey Ses sions held last month the prisoner was tried and convicted of felony, for which he was sentenced to be privately whipped and discharged. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty upon both in dictments. The COURT told the prisoner, that as punishment had had but little effect upon him, he must leave the country.—Trans. ported for the term of seven years. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.

The following letter was posted at Lloyd's this morning : " Admiralty, Nov. In, 1832 " Sir,—Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty your letter of this day's date, requesting, by desire of the Committee for Managing the Affairs of Lloyd's, that measures may be taken for the protection of the trade in the West Indies, it being feared that the same may be exposed to risk in consequence of the embargo on Dutch merchant vessels, I am commanded by their Lordships to acquaint you, that measures were taken to convey speedy information of the em bargo to the Admiral of the West India station, and to all other Commanders-in-Chief, who have also been instructed to take the necessary precautions for the security of the trade. " I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) "JOHN BARROW." To John Bennett, Esq., Lloyd's." TIIE FUNDS.---(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Quebec Papers, one day later, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The paper of the 25th October states that Panet, the Catholic Bishop, has re signed, owing to old age, and Bishop Signay will succeed him, They have had fine weather for the last eight days. THE FUNDS. Accounts have been received from Antwerp of Thursday last. Up to that date nothing of a decisive nature had oc curred respecting the siege of Antwerp, but preparations were making to invest the place; therefore we cannot expect to hear of important events before the citadel until about Wednesday next. Consols opened at the same price as they left off yesterday, 834 4 for the Account. HALF-PAST ONE. The well-informed are still of a decided opinion that Prus sia will remain firm to the Convention of England and Franc; and not march her armies to the assistance of the Dutch. ----.... There is also a prevailing opinion on 'Change that a proposal will be made by the Dutch to surrender the citadel of Ant werp to the five Powers.

(From a Correspondent of the Times.) Yesterday Mr. O'Connell made his first appearance thi scason in the political circles of this metropolis, and made some singular points, which promise in their results to engage the attention of the empire. In the morning he went by invitation to the Ex-Sheriff Scott's dejeune, at which the guild of smiths (of which be is a member) also attended, by invitation, to meet him, and give force to the new-born feeling amongst them to forward the re peal of the Union, and aid in the return of a corporate repe tier for Dublin. In the course of the conference, Mr. O'Connell drank (and encored with the rest) " The glorious, pious, and immortal memory of the great and good King William III.," " The health of the Duke of Cumberland, and the rest of the Royal family." In return, the corporate guests drank with enthusiasm, " Mr. O'Connell and Repeal of the Union." He soon after ad journed to a special meeting of the National Political Union, at the Corn-exchange, convened for the purpose of Petitioning Parliament for an immediate repeal of the Union, and spoke an immense speech, which occupies five columns of the Morning Register, in the course of which he strongly advocated the propriety of effecting a junction with the Anti-Reform corporators. He also moved for the appointment of two committees,—one fo► the purpose of investigating the true amount of the deb. of Ireland to England,—the other, to arrange the heads of a plan for the regulation of the Irish Parliament after the repeal should become law. He stated that he intended to take the English Reform Bill as the foundation of the proposed plan as far as it would go, and apply it wherever applicable throughout Ireland. He proposed that every county having 200,000 inhabitants :should have four Members, and for each additional 100,000 one additional Member, and that all the principal towns should have re presentatives. - The strong predilection shown in favour of Ex-Sheriff Scott, who is one of the most decided enemies of Re form, and who has never retracted the practical insult which he offered to the Catholic population some year , igo, when, as Sheriff, he refused to let them sit in the common jury -box, is strange. He is to attend at the Trades' Political Union on Sunday, to endeavour to en list them on the part of his favourite corporate repeal, r. He spoke of Mr. Ruthven, M.P.'s triumph as certain, at yesterday's meeting, and also proposed Marcus Costello a.. a tit M.P. for the borough of Dundalk. THE TORIES AND THE DUTCH WAR, (From the Essex Independent.) The Tory, Conservative, " reforoa-hating, Dutch. loving, peace-professing, war-provoking," Parsonarchy, Squirearchy, and the tradesmen of Chelmsford, on Friday last attempted to make a dead set at the Whig Ministry, and the town was consequently placarded with notices that a protest against the Dutch war was lying for signature on a well-known Tory counter. Two rival Con ervative auctioneers actually vied with each other in their enthu• siasm, by posting the bills in those places which are in tended for "auction announcements," but which fortu nately on this occasion happened to be vacant. This bare faced trick did not, however, succeed so well as had been anticipated ; for, notwithstanding scouts were sent in various directions to induce the unsuspecting farmers and others to come and sign the petition, very few of them. as we shall presently see, couldibe prevailed on to do so, and at the close of the day only 78 names had been procured. However, nothing daunted, these precious conservators of the peace did not give up their spiritless undertaking, but the document remained until Monday afternoon, up to which time it had received the magnificent addition of 12 more signatures, making 90 in the whole. In order to catch a few of the Bats, it was strenuously denied that this was a party measure; the trick, however, was too glaring, and failed. The very origin of the affair proves its cha racter : it was concocted at a meeting of the Tories on Thursday, at the White Hart, Bucking, and penned by that indefatigable supporter of Church and State, the Rev. G. Tufnel. We will now just examine the names of the individuals attached to it. The first column contained 34, and it will hardly be credited, but such is the fact, that 15 out of that number were those of Tory parsons—more than one-third ! To be sure, it is quite in accordance with their professions of "ministers of peace," that they should be averse to war ; but bow, it will naturally be asked, is it that this new light has so suddenly broken in upon them, at this particular juncture of our public affairs? Five more clerical brethren afterwards joined the ranks, making 90 in the whole. The following is a summary of the 90 signatures :-20 clergymen, 40 Con servatives resident in Chelmsford (including the worthy Coroner), and SO Blue tradesmen of the town, dependent to a great extent upon the Tory gentry, and which 30 were all that could be scraped together out of a population of nearly 6,000 ! The Duke of WELLINGTON arrived at Apsley House on Saturday from Walmer Castle, and left town on Sunday for Strathfieldsaye, where his Grace is entertaining a select circle. The Noble Duke is expected to make some stay in Hampshire. Lord CHARLES WELLESLEY quitted Apsley House yesterday for Strathfieldsaye. . In the Times of the 22d of November, we published a paragraph, sent us by a respectable corres pondent, relative to an accident alleged to have happened in Hyde Park on the preceding morning, and occasioned by the Duke of WELLINGTON'S groom. We were sure that an inquiry would be instituted. The result is, that none of the police constables on duty in Hyde Park from 8 a.m. till 10 on that night, or the park-keepers, beard of or saw any accident. It was ascertained that not one servant connected with the stables of the Duke of WELLINGTON had been in town since Tuesday morning last, and that the stables had been locked up since that period. We base since been informed by a correspondent (Mr. Holm) that the groom was a servant of Lord PALMERSTON. We were, and are still, most zealous friends to the subscription for relieving Sir WALTER SCOTT'S family from the load of debt with which at the time of that emi nent man's death it was stated they were encumbered; but we never contemplated anything so absurd as that the na tion should raise a sum of money to purchase a perpetual entail of Abbotsford. After the discharge of Sir WALTER'S debts, which we hope to see paid by his grateful admirers, Abbotsford becomes free : let his family then, if they have the means, retain it in their own hands ! but why encum ber them or the nation with the eternal possession of it ? The hest monument to Sir WALTER Scorr is that raised by himself in his works. Waverley and The Lay of the Last Minstrel will secure for him a fame beyond any that a modern-antique edifice can bestow ; they will secure for him that imperishable reputation which Hamlet and Lear have for SHAESPEA RE, and Comus and Paradise Lost for MILTON. The public is getting sick of the brick-and mortar humbug, especially when it sees the names of some of the active agents in this affair. We may add, that the paragraph sent us by a correspondent shows what a serious burden would be imposed on the family by the forced pro prietorship of his estate ; and surely it is not expected that national trustees are to be appointed as perpetual guardians. Times. SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.—A mytho logical and musical hurletta, called The Loves of the Devils (which was very successful at the Strand), was produced here for Miss FORD E'S benefit; it loses, speaking musically, by the transfer, but it gains in effect; and the piece being full of local allusions and political points, is more suited to a theatre where the gallery visitors form no small pro portion of the auditory. The principal novelties in the cast are Miss FORDE instead of Mrs. WAYLETT, WILLIAMS as Cupid, and Mr. L. T. REDE for his brother, who is the author of the piece, and originally performed the Devil in it. Allowing for some inaccuracies, common on "first nights," it was well acted, and so highly relished by the gods that they were frequently vociferous. It is likely to enjoy a longer run here than it had at the Strand Theatre. Incendiary fires, we are pained to state, con tinue to devastate this country. On Thursday night the farm-buildings at Riverhill, tenanted by Mr. SLATER, a publican at Petworth, were discovered to be on fire, and before a check could be put to the progress of the flames, a barn and three stacks of corn were consumed. Three fat hogs also fell victims to the conflagration. A man who had threatened to be revenged on Mr. SLATER a few days previous, and who was seen coming away from the direc tion of Riverhill about a quarter of an hour before the dis covery of the fire, is in custody.—Brighton Gazette. It is with deep regret we observe the alarming progress of incendi irism in this county. That this ma lignant and fiendish spirit is not created by want is clear from the fact that wages have not been reduc e d in pro portion to the great fall of prices of agricultural produce. We are convinced that much of the evil is eng e nd ere d by revolutionary and newspapers, whi c h a r e beer-shops, as well as greedily circulationre read a of at alehouses sup ported by those who ought to know hetter, the middling classes. Let them discourage these inflammatory journals, and provide better food for the minds of their ha f-in structed brethren, who are taught that " Squires and parsons " as well as " Farmers," are their worst enemies, and that to be discontented with their station and sus• picious of their superiors is a political duty. Is it then to be wondered at that they act upon the feelings ems excited ?...-13erks Chronicle. SPIRIT OP TIIE PUBLIC JOURNALS. A document has been published which purports to be " The Substance of the Address of the Mer chants of Rotterdam," to their friends the Conser vative petitioners for peace in London, thanking them for their anti-patriotic movement in favour of an enemy. We have heard of a time in which " a correspondence" of this kind between Englishmen and foreigners with whom their Sovereign was at war, would have been reckoned little short of high treason. We even know of certain legal and crir&- nal proceedings instigated by Tory Ministers, and undertaken by Tory law-officers, in which a political correspondence similar to that of our present Tory addressers, exposed the parties to the danger of their lives and liberties. We are not disposed to call for any similar visitation at present, because we feel none of the alarm which the Tories at that time felt, or pretended to feel ; but we would advise them to abandon this criminal coquetry with the enemy. Looking at the address of the Rotterdam merchants itself, without any reference to the Con servative character, or to the factious intentions, of their English correspondents, we ran only say that nothing more like a political bull was ever propa gated beyond the precincts of Ireland. These Dutch merchants tell their English Tory friends that the union between Belgium and Holland was effected in 1815, by the great Powers of Eu rope, and particularly by the political agency of the said Tories, contrary to Dutch views and incli nations,—that the Dutch lost immensely by the " union," and that they became, of course, martyrs to the cruel oppression of the English / Forks, who proclaimed the bans of a political marriage against their will,—that, for 15 long years the inconvenier!ces of this unhappy "union" were submitted to in 'Hence, though contrary to the interests of Holland, —and what then ?—why, that they regard these same Tories, who have insisted on the continuance of the said union, as their friends, and the English Whig Government, which has secured equitable .erms of separation, and which places them in their former situation of independence, as their greatest enemies!! But these Dutch Conservatives are not satisfied with one inconsequential blunder of the character above alluded to. Forgetting that if they themselves were hostile to the union, and that if the Belgians agreed with them in their desire to escape from it, the seperation without bloodshed would be a real favour to both parties; they fall foul of the Belgians as persons guilty of treason and rebellion for relieving them from their il!-omened alliance ! Then what do these Dutchmen desire which English merchants, or which the sensible English public can wish their Government to concede ? The trading interest of Rotterdam and Amsterdam, which has been the sole lever of Dutch patriotism on the present occasion, care nothing for questions of territory, which, indeed, are already settled : they it) not object to the division of the Batavo-Belgic debt, which has likewise been agreed to. 'With what lure, then, do they tempt the support of the British commercial interest against theirown Government and against Belgium? Why, by the close of the Scheldt. And is it for this, which is contrary to the treaty of Vienna,—which would condemn 4,000,000 of peo ple to the deprivation of their only emporium,— which would destroy a great branch of British trade and shipping, that our Conservatives are hazarding the penalties of treason by corresponding with an enemy—that they are receiving the thanks of foreign merchants, and are praying for ruin on the naval forces of England ? Let them declare themsdves optily on this point ; let them say that they desire the Scheldt to be closed, and that British shipping ;hall be excluded from one of the great parts of the continent, whose inhabitants are desirous of our commercial intercourse. Let them agree with the Dutchmen in this, and we shall be satisfied of their diminished power of mischief at the ensuing elec tions, or in any town of England. Before we con dude, we may mention that our city corcespondent is quite right in reporting that the most industrious means have been used to impress foreign Courts with false ideas of the state of opinion in England, not only by the ludicrous method which he describes of the transmission of a not ill-written but languid news paper never seen out of the Tory clubs, but by the most actively conducted correspondence; and this was not confined to Berlin and the Hague (and we must frankly admit that the King of Holland has been duped, though not intentionally, in this respect even by his own agents), but it extended to the Courts of Vienna and St. Petersburgh. Indeed, as we have more than once stated, one main object of Lord Durham's mission was to destroy the delusion which, like a fog, obscured the truth from the prin cipal foreign Governments. Whether he was able to annihilate the false impression remains to be seen : that much was done towards it, the present posi tion of the Belgic question sufficiently demonstrates. —Times. It would be seen by our private correspondence from Oporto, in yesterday's paper, that our naval force in the Douro is considered altogether inade quate for the protection of British property, for the security of British lives, or the assertion of British honour. In whose hands the direction of our naval force lies,—by whose order it is apportioned to the different stations where its services may be re quired,—or why it is so reduced before Oporto, it would be needless in us to inquire. The evil of its diminished amount in the Douro is alarming, the danger is imminent in case of any reverse in the fortunes of am Pedro, and immediate measures ought to be taken to send a reinforcement. If an attack is made on British lives or property by the barbarous soldiers of Don Miguel, in the absence of a sufficient force in the river, or off the bar of Oporto, it will be no justification of the neglect to allege that Admiral Parker has a sufficient squadron before Lisbon. Our merchants at Lisbon ougb: : not, certainly, to be forgotten; but it would 1 .; , absurd to suppose that a threatened attP_zlc on the Portuguese capital would secure the, wine-vaults or the British factory of Oporto, as that a tile on the roof could secure a drain in the cellar. Our cor respondent speaks of a letter from Lord Palmerston, correspondence dangersden ce t o with ‘ yh t ic hr Consul, n oui in which he gives th e Op orto merchants such a poor a ce, consolation. His L or d s hip, as Foreign Minister, most, u of bound to know b e in rre his countrymen are ex p ose d. H e ought, therefore, od is r, to see that orders are sent from the Admiralty to inerease the force before Oporto, even at the haztrd of diminishing the blockading squadron on the coast of Holland, or the protective squadron at the mouth of the Tagus. If Lord Palmerston has suggested the Lisbon scheme of assisting Oporto, his practical solecism would show, at least, that his Lordship has still in him some smack of the " green isle," which is said to have given birth to St. Patrick. —Tim", In proportion as the determination becomes from day to day more manifest of the brave and virtuotti King of the Netherlands and his loyal and patriotic subjects, to fight to the last extremity in defence of the rights and welfare of their country against its insolent and unprincipled invaders, so does the voice of the people of England rise daily in a louder and still louder tone of indignation against the wicked ness, the perfidy, and the cowardice of the British Administration, in lending its assistance to the iniquitous aggression, and in supplications more and more earnest to their Sovereign to relieve them from all participation in an enterprise which is kit to be fatal to British honour in its commencement., which must at every stage of its progress be deeply ifjurious to the most important interests of the. British nation, and with respect to the consequences or result of which all that can be clearly foreseen is, that Great Britain can by no possibility derive from it any advantage whatever. The evidence we take to be complete that the war in which the present Mi nisters have involved the nation, from no conceivable motive unless it be that of abject and slavish obedience to the will of the revol u Ilona!) , Government of France, is, we will not say the most unpopular war in which any British Ministry ever engaged, but a war yet more strongly contrasted with every former wee, inasmuch as that every former war, without a! ex ception, to be found within several preced►ng ceu- lk ►u ol- 3er rbe ing apt ap ent too 'opt , net the WO ed g A ive, r, be n !° II in; t bad bill. wig' ;0 04 , al b of ay b e bee ° r 40 due I Will
