Cne •o, I shall now leave it to those who Lave read the Publications in question, and who may be pleased to per- Ilse this letter, to form such conclusions as they may think Proper on the subject. I have the honour to remain, my Lord Duke, Your Grace's most obedient, bumble Servant, JOHN SCOTT LILLIE. St, John's, Fulham, Oct, 8, 1832. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—If our Cabinet should be weak enough to allow itself to be influenced on the Belgian question, and to submit to the humiliations which England receives, if, indeed, (as a Frankfort Correspondent of the Times lays) we can be humiliated any more; if it is to be a question whether or not the King of England has to fulfil the conditions and the spirit of a treaty which he ratified without consulting any other Court,—a treaty agreed upon in common between five European Powers after a twelve months' deliberation,—a treaty, the execution of which is to decide, not only the free navigation of the Scheldt, but whether Belgium, and consequently France, shall become again countries entirely under the frightful influence of despotism ; if our cabinet is short-sighted enough not to see that the comedy of urging the King of Holland to come to a final settle ment with Belgium on the one hand, and of whispering into his ear, "Nov mind, don't yield to any of our pro- Posals, and above all hold fast the fine point of the citadel of Antwerp," it is time for the people of England to exa mine how far the Belgian question affects the commerce and political interests of this island. Let the people inquire if it is not, whether it was not, beneath the dignity of the British Government to send Lord Durham to implore, at the feet of his Imperial Ma jesty, permission to fulfil the treaty ratified by France and Great Britain. To imagine that his Lordship's Mission was to insist upon the execution of the treaty of Vienna respecting Poland is absurd. Is it to be supposed that our Government would assume the right of dictating to Russia what is to be done on the hordere—nay, now the i nterior of her own territory, while it acknowledges the right of Russia to determine the manner in which a river Which pushes its stream to mix with that of the Thames, 'hall be navigated by other nations ? The accounts re specting the result of Lord Durham's special mission are said to be favourable ; but I feel persuaded, that although the Envoy Extraordinary of Great Britain may have re ceived all the attention and courtesy which a great nation could expect of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh, a la fawn • d'Alexandre, at Verona, where that equally magnanimous Sovereign was so courteous as to visit Lord Welling ' ton at his private lodgings ; yet, as far as regards any [ treat political result co , Lord D ur h am ' s m i ss i on h as b een a complete failure. Is it to he supposed that under the ' Present plan, so successfully entered into, t o crus h f ree . don ) , fi rst i n Germany, ith the intention of marching upon France, if t h e Carlis w ts should succeed in effecting a revolution in that country,—that under a plan which is to consolidate for ever the rights of Legitimacy, a conces sion w ill be made which would in one moment upset the combination ? Can it be expected that what has been resorted to, and so successfully up to the present moment, will abe aband one d b y mere courtesy, and by the continu ance hat dipl omacy to which our Cabinets have of la e ys been till dupes? I s i t lik ely that one step will be granted in favour of r evo l ut i onary principles? The Times h as the Conference who opposed coercive measures against Holland ; but if Russi a was t h e only party against the other conclusion of the Bel g i an a ff a i r, is it likely that all the Powers would suffer it to remain undecided? Theie IS a secret understanding that one of the three despotic .i Flonwers shall O PI I,O IIO, whilst th e others profess a d es i re t o i 1) g matters to a termination—but they will all agree f the force of circumstances compel them to do so. Did ??t Co unt Orloff keep the R uss i an rat i f i cation in his. Pocket t till .th . e m oment that o ur Ki ng was for ced to resign his discretion and p ower i n t o t h e nd h ands of a Whig Minist r y ? If the tone of Lord Grey atb the French p l enipotenti ary s h ould rise a little higher, en dispositions favourable to negociation will be an nounced as f rom Holland, or we shall hear from St. Pe te burgh that his th e Majesty is f avoura b ly disposed towards ami ca bl e settlement of howev er , whether England an this quest i on. Let me ask, d Franc e h ave not the r i ght alone t o settle it, considering how i t affects them Engla n d su b mits to further degr a d ations, what must she if expect t o b e reduced to after a f ore restorations, or annihilations of constitutional allies? This i an awful question ! If France should fall, for the third ' time, on. der the sceptre of tbe Legitimates, —and this will be the case with an alliance so compact, unless vigour be displayed Fran - op tno his Majesty of Majestie s say to absolute .. ee, , " s Charles, if you do not unite with the rest of us in the preservation of the legitimat e sceptre, which must be one of iron, we will abandon you to your own resources ! " nental Would ther e no t i n such case be a conti leYent stem in Europe, against the only remaining constitutional overn m and would not then the excl us i on Enßritish vessels from all continental ports be as little Pri 'ing, as ea s y, o f accom pli s h ment ? How would the "Y Extraordi nar y o f once G reat B r i ta i n then be re- Areceived at Court, where Russian influ ence wou ld pres i de ? ree, Sir, to consider any longer wh a t s t eps rema i n to taken d. on the question, and whether the King o f Eng la to ex ecute a treaty, which he is bound to fulfil Alike by honou r and interest? I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A FRIEND OF HIS COUNTRY. MIDDLESEX ELECTION. AIR.

OTTERBOURNE A Tale of the English Marches. Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. (Ldte Colburn and Bentley.) 'Arlo g LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 9, 1832. We insert a letter on the Belgian question, and will take this opportunity of making a few observations on the subject. That the chief object of Lord DURHAM'S mission to St. Petersburgh was to induce the Emperor of RUSSIA to show a greater disposi tion in favour of Belgium, is now admitted by those who sent him. That he has succeeded in that object has not been proved by any one cir cumstance. NICHOLAS is now, as he ever has been since his accession to the throne, moderate in word, and grasping in action. With the words of peace in his mouth, he has all the vice of tyrants in his heart. Ambition is his god---- aggrandizement the end and aim of his govern ment. If he should fail in his designs upon the liberties of France and Great Britain, as signally as he has succeeded in his invasions of Persia, Turkey, and Poland, we shall not have to thank the policy of our Foreign-office for our deliverance. When France entreated our Cabinet to declare itself in favour of Poland, it turned a deaf ear, and yet at that moment the united armies and fleets of Great Britain and France could have dictated terms to all Europe. When Don PEDRO solicited the intervention of this country in favour of the Queen of PORTU GAL, all he could obtain was a declaration of cold neutrality, fettered by a condition that no thing was to be done by him which could lead to the overthrow of Spanish tyranny ; and yet an alliance with PEDRO would have given us a control over the whole Peninsula. And now that the King of BELGIUM demands justice at our hands, we merely withhold from him what was solemnly promised, and bit by bit sacrifice him to the dictation of Russia. Yet the King of BELGIUM, with an army of more than 100,000 men, would be a formidable ally against those countries to which his own is a sort of barrier. What a chance has Lord PALMERSTON thrown away I What an alliance of free states might not have been formed against the despots of the Continent—France, Belgium, Portugal' liberated Spain, in union with Great Britain for the protection of constitutional freedom ! Hu manity and policy alike dictated the course to be pursued ; but the old Tory leaven has pre vailed, and if we should avoid the danger which menaces us, and obtain the good which we might at one time have commanded, it will be to the force of circumstances, and not to the right direction of our Cabinet, that we shall owe a result so much to be desired by every lover of freedom. And it is not only in refusing the aid of friends, but also in assisting the views of enemies, that our Cabinet has distinguished itself. We have now before us a letter from Paris, in which we are assured that Louis PHILIPPE iS less op posed to the promotion of a liberal Cabinet on account of his own prejudices than from a desire to please Lord PALMERSTON, by appointing none but peace Ministers—men who would not venture to provoke war by any assertion of na tional independence against Russia, Austria, and Prussia. Thus, at the very moment when per manent peace might be secured by a display of vigour on the part of France, the Holy Alli ance are to be conciliated, and war is to be averted only until they can commence it with the certainty of succeeding in their attempts to put down liberty in Europe. In the same letter we are told that it is only through the correspondence maintained between Lords BROUGHAM and GREY, and some of the distinguished friends of liberty in France, that a twill prostration of freedom at the feet of Russia has been avoided. We believe this statement, but if it be true, why do not Lords BROUGHAM and GREY direct the foreign policy of the British Cabinet ? A Tory Contemporary is full of praises of the valour displayed by the troops of Don MIGUEL, and deduces from it that the enthusiasm of the Portuguese nation is strongly exhibited in his favour. Without attempting to deny, or consi dering it surprising that in a country so much under the influence of the priesthood, the igno rant and turbulent mass is as favourable to the usurper as the wealthy and educated are in heart opposed to him, we shall show the character of the troops now in the service of the monster who, to the disgrace of civilized Europe, has been so long permitted to hold the reins of power in Portugal. Of the army now before Oporto not o►►e fourth is composed of regular troops, and of that portion the officers only, being deeply compromised in the usurpation, are faithful to the Usurper. The private soldiers desert at every opportunity, and in every attack they have been so placed as to be compelled to fight, or fall under the fire of the Miguelite guerillas and militia. The guerillas are composed of the refuse of society—of mur derers, robbers, and vagabonds in the pay of the priesthood, by whom they are headed ; and the militia, far from being what it was during the war with France, is a selection from that body of all %sho have rendered themselves remarkable for their attachment to the predatory warfare in which MIGUEL indulges them. As the Portuguese are not physically cowards, is it surprising that men who know that the restoration of the Con stitution would be followed by the vigorous exe cution of the law against those who subsist by plunder, should display a courage worthy of a better cause, and that they should continue to make up to the cannons of Oporto over the bodies of their fallen comrades ? But if I)on PEDRO can hold his ground a little longer, this description of force will soon be at an end. MI GUEL has collected into a body all that was most vile in Portugal, and as they fall off, the regular troops will have an opportunity of declaring them selves in favour of the Constitutional charter. Despatches were received yesterday at the Foreign-office, from our Minister at Berlin. They state that the Prussian Cabinet had shown recently a strong disposition for the settlement of the Belgian question. The British and French Members of the Conference, therefore, expect a favourable answer to the commmunica tion of which M. DOHNOFF was the bearer. In another part of our Paper will be found an article from the Herald against free trade, much in the usual strain, and displaying about as much knowledge of the_subject as ever. We suppose that the first half column is kept in stereotype, for we are pretty certain that we have read it in our contemporary's lucid columns some hundred times. The droll of the affair is that the Herald in the last half column appears to have some vague idea, that the plan of impo sing heavy duties on the goods of foreign countries, which impose heavy duties upon ours, is absurd, and would totally annihilate our com merce, except with the Sandwich Islands, where the people are so foolish as not to have adopted the Herald's maxims of encouraging their own manufactures of matting, by imposing heavy duties upcn our cotton goods. There is one singular hallucination which the Herald shares in common with all the opponents of free trade. They all highly laud the conduct of Foreign Sates, who laugh at us, and take such care of their own manufactures by imposing du ties upon ours. One would think from this that France, and other countries acting with it, are in a high state of prosperity, that the system causes their manufactures to flourish, and that, therefore, we ought to adopt it. So far, how ever, is this from being the case, that all the ma nufactures of France are in the most wretched condition, not excluding that of silk, which of the t h e pretendedre were any course ought to b e b ene fi te d b y t h e amount o f fl rgime ictsiuipaos of ourncurs, if h in the inflicts contemporary. :IE FUNDS. -(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE 0' CL 0 Clf. Owing to the stormy weather for these three days past, we have no fresh arrivals this morning from the theatre of war, or any other parts. The publication of the bulletin of the Marquis of Palmella, of the attack and defeat of D on . Miguel's tr oops on Oporto, has revived the drooping spirits of the Constitutionalists, who have now every confidence that Oporto will remain in the possession of Don Pedro. Consols are very languid, and opened at the same price they left off at yesterday, 844 for the Account, and 844 Bi:hers for next time. We have neither reports nor political news. In the Foreign Market little or nothing doing ; they are waiting the arrival of the French mail. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present time we are still without any fresh arrivals—but we are again assured by the well-in , ormed, that the affairs of Holland and Belgium have taken a fa vourable turn, and are expected to be settled without go ing to hostilities. Consols have continued during the whole of the morn ing at 841 2- for the Account, with little or nothing doing. The Foreign Market in the same state of inaction. Portuguese Scrip, 5 discount.

From the 27th June to the 6th September, 1832, the arrivals were 247 vessels. During the same period in 1831, the arrivals Were 396. The clear ances were, in 1832, 259 vessels. Fur the same period, in 1 831, 395 vessels. DEATH OF CAPTAIN LOC K .-0 11 the 15th of September, Captain Locx, the distinguished ama teur artist, was drowned in the Lake of Como. Captain LOCK, who was in his 29th year, was son of WILLIAM LOCK, Esq., of Nurbury Park, by a daughter of the late Duchess of LEINSTER and W. OGILVIE, Esq., and was alike remarkable for his amiable disposition and the beauty of his person, which is immortalized by the pencil of LAWRENCE. lie was the orieinal of the beautiful picture " The Boy and Dog," engraved in the Cameo Annual. About three years ago, Captain LOCK married Miss SELINA Tom.Estacuz, daughter to Admiraland Lady ELIz. TOLLE MACRE, by whom he his left an infant daughter. Captain Loci( and his lady had passed the summer with his pa rents, at a villa on the border of the Lake of Como, and it is stated that his fondly-attached wife was in a balcony, look ing at her husband in a pleasure-boat on the lake, when a sudden gust of wind sunk the boat, and swept him from her sight for ever. FINE ARTS. ILLUSTRATIONS TO THE KEEPSAKE FOR 1833. LONDON. 1833. The frontispiece to these illustrations, which is a likeness of his present Majesty, so closely resembles an embossed engraving, that it is ne cessary to pass one's hand over the surface to assure ourselves of the deception. Among the illustrative engravings, " Ehrenbreitsein" is remarkable for the exquisite delicacy of its finish ; a world of pains has been expended on it, of which the splendid landscape itself is well worthy. The picture teems with life, and is full of materiel. Juliet" deserves praise, but the engraving is a cleverer performance than the original painting by Liversege. Juliet's veil, which flows down her as she kneels before the Friar, looks exactly as if it were a shower-bath in full play on her head. The Friar's counte nance wears a fine, lofty, devotional expression. " Marius among the ruins of Carthage," is worthily engraved by Wallis, from one of Mar tin's splendid but monotonous engravings. Car thage itself is but an adumbration of Babylon, with the broad Euphrates flowing through it. " Flora Maclvor" is a lank, scraggy, formidable looking figure, the very antipodes of romance. She reminds us of a dry lean spinster, of a vinegar aspect, who in the course of years will degenerate into a skin-flint. But for this the painter, not the engraver, is to blame. " The Adieu " is a graceful female portrait, full of gentleness and affection, with a soft smile nestling in the angles of the mouth, and an archness in the expression of the eye, that lend irresistible fascination to the countenance. The remainder of the engravings are of the average order of excellence. ILLUSTRATIONS TO THE PICTU. RESQUE ANNUAL FOR 1833. The publication of the Annuals are this year, we believe, announced earlier than usual. The usual period of their forthcoming is November, whose glooms and proverbial dullness they are intended, we suppose, to counteract. An An nual in spring, when there are so many and such various calls upon one's attention—when the world is an out-of-doors world, and town over flows with exhibitions of the Fine Arts, would have but a sorry chance of success; but an Annual in autumn, more especially in No vember, when we require all the resources of art to console us for the departure of spring and summer, is really and truly a God-send. The il lustrations to the " Picturesque Annual," which are just now lying before us, will pass away an evening hour by the fire-side very pleasantly. They are not less than twenty-six in number, and abound in elegant variety. In point of excel lence, however—whose sphere in an engraving is necessarily confined—one so much resembles another, that it is scarcely possible to enter into very detailed criticism. There is a great monotony of character in all our Annual Engravings, and, upon Tom Moore's principle, that " spring would be but gloomy weather, if we had nothing else but spring," it is really almost a relief to meet with a villainously bad one. But Mr. Heath has debarred us this enjoyment, for his " Picturesque Annual" contains not one in• different engraving. Those by Wallis are ca pital, who, in the light and graceful disposition of his clouds, almost rivals our favourite Finden. Mr. Heath himself, too, has furnished us with some choice specimens of the art. The view of " Heydelburg " has a fine air of repose and quiet about it. The broad stream flows lazily beside the town, the very emblem of contented indolence, and the distant moun tains have an air of perfect silence and tranquil lity, as if there were scarce wind enough to stir the flower of the heath-broom with which its sides are enamelled. " Nonnenwert "is delightful as a landscape, but somewhat stiff and formal as an engraving. " Mill near the Hague" is admi rable,—the old Dutch mill itself forms a most spirited and prominent object, and the entire picture reminds us of one of Morland's homely scenes. The landscape has quite an English look about it, in the style of its rusticity. If the literary portion of this Annual be equal to the pictorial, it will be quite superior to the best of its predecessors. THE PROVOST OF EDINBURGH'S ADDRESS. A great noise has been made by the London Whig and Radical journals—by the Times, the Globe, the Sun, the Examiner, the Spectator, &c. &c. &c.—about the Address delivered by the Lord Provost on the departure of the King of France. One paper calls the author of the Address a slave—another calls him a jool—a third calls him a have—and the Examiner, we perceive. calls the document itself " a haggis of adulation !" Now, we never concealed the fact, that we perfectly concurred in the sentiments of the Lord Provost's Address, and we are willing to take all the had names which have been flung at both it and its author by the liberal newspapers. But in case of mistakes, we beg leave to state that the Post had nothing to do with the concocting of the much-abused " haggis of adulation." We neither wrote it ourselves, nor assisted in composing it—the authorship of the 4 4 haggis of adulation" is indeed an honour that we dream not of. In these circumstances, it is perhaps fair that the saddle should be put on the right horse; and it gives us great pleasure to state, from good authority, that the Address in question was written solely and exclusively by the editor of the Caledonian Mercury/ To our bro ther, therefore, rightfully belongs the credit of this won derful affair, and to him, consequently, belong the epithets so liberally thrown out by his friends of the liberal press; he is " the fool," " the ass," " the knave," and the in diter of the " haggis of adulation." Let our brother, however, be comforted. The Address is one of the few things that have lately come from his pen, of which we entirely and unequivocally approve !—Edinburgh Even ing Post.----[ We thought as much.]—En. Sox. THE U NITED SERVICE JOURNAL. —To ,he general correspondence of this interesting periodical work, which has given so much satisfaction, as embodying a monthly supply of valuable communications from direct sources, there has been lately added a department for correspondence from the principal ports and stations. The October number of the Journal includes, under both these heads, the following interesting topics :—A Descriptive Account of the Naval Victualling Establishment at Ports mouth—The R ecent Experiments in Sailing—Floating Scenes off De vonport—Remarks on the Service of the Corps of Engineers —The British Cavalry at Fuentes de Onor—Defence of the Spanish ex Minister, San Mrouxr. Comparativ e I mportance of Cavalry and Infantry in Action—Claims of Pursers and Surgeons in the Navy— Objections to the New Plan of Steering Ships from the Bow—Grades of the Order of Knighthood—Proposed New National Order of Merit—Remarks on the Present State of Naval Construction—Explanations respecting MARSHALL'S Gun Carriages—A Cutter Race, off Torquay —Suggested Revision of the Code of Salutes in the Navy —Doings at Milford Haven, &c., &c. COVENT-GARDEN TIIEATRE. The tragedy of Hamlet, last night, introduced a new aspirant to public favour in the person of Mr. BUTLER, a gentleman who made a very prootising debut. His de lineation of the character of Hamlet, was in many respects highly creditable to his genius. Although it has not transpired whether he has practised his art in any other theatre, we should conclude that be must have done so, and that nothing but experience could have enabled him to acquire the freedom and self-possession he dis played. He has a good person and a polished manner ; his voice is extremely mellow and harmonious in the lower tones, but is without sufficient compass to give tdequate expression to the more vehement passages. -is features are expressive, but somewhat too sharp and ,ngular for the effect which is required on the stage. The ierformance of this difficult part was unequal, but dis tlayed talent which, although not of the highest order, 'sr surpasses the mediocrity which is too common among tur actors. In that which is called, in the dialect of the tage, level speaking, he was remarkably successful. His 'oice, which is admirably suited for such passage., lent them great force and richness. In the more passionate arts his efforts to be striking and original were occa. -ionally too perceptible, and gave an appearance of feebleness to that which, if it had been more die .treetly managed, would have been more effec tive. Thus the mad-scene with Ophelia, the conclud ing part of the play-scene, and that at Ophelia's grave, were not the happiest parts of his performance ; but, on the other hand, the soliloquy, the speech to the players, the greater part of the scene with the Queen, and that in which he reproves Rosencrantz and Guilden stern, were acted with great judgment and rbility. His conception of the part was unquestionably intelligent anti discriminating, and where there was so much to praise on the whole, it is fair to place sotne part of that which vas less excellent to the account of the difficulties of the task, and the anxiety which would naturally attend a first attempt on these boards. With the exception of some very slight disapprobation, proceeding perhaps from the severest order of critics, Mr. BUTLER was very favourably received, and being called for after the play, made his bow to the audience, while Mr. I 3 RTLEY announced the repetition of the performance on Monday next. We perceive that Mr. BUTLER intends to play Othello as his next character, and we shall be happy if he but sustain the impression which his performance last night has made. As it is, he promises to be a great acquisi tion in the present dearth of dramatic actors of the first order. We heartily wish him success. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. We last night visited this theatre for the purpose of see ing the second performance of Mr. JERROLD'S Factory Girl. It was more favourably received than on Satur day, but we scarcely think is destined to have a long run. It is a pity, for the scenery is some of the most beautiful we have beheld for a long period. Every time the curtain drew up the house resounded with applause. I IThe announcement for Saturday next of a commemo ration in honour of the late Sir W. Scorn, is a good idea, and will, we doubt not, in the present state of public feeling, have the effect of producing a crowded house. The performances on this occasion are to commence with Rob Roy, in which play both MACREADY and BRAHAM will appear. MACREADY'S outlaw is too well known and too highly appreciated to require any further notice from us; but GRAHAM'S Francis Osbaldistone is a novelty; and as the part abounds in some of the most exquisitely beau tiful of the old Scotch songs, it cannot fail to whet public• curiosity. At the close of the drama a view of Abbotsford will be introduced, painted expressly for the occasion by STANFIELD. After which the principal characters in tl e Waverley Novels (represented by the elite of the Drury-lam Company) will walk in solemn procession round the study of the deceased Novelist. BRAHAM will afterwards sin,: that most affecting of all airs, the Highland Coronacb,— " He's gone on the mountain." The following, we un derstand, is to be the order of procession : ORDER OF THE PAOEINT. WAVER LEY. THE BARON OF BRADWARDINE, Mr. Bartlett. FERGUS MACIVOR, Mr. Fry. CAPTAIN WAVERLEY, Mr. T. Jones.

The Manager in his farewell address con gratulated.himself, and thanked his patrons, the public, upon having not only escaped the losses of which alai theatrical establishments complained, but upon his having come off with full coffers. He also promised to open again in spring with a galaxy of novelties, which he pledged himself should never have been surpassed by any thing known or recorded in scenic history.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY. R. 1). King, who it w r2col'ected was brought ...fore the sitting Alderman, on Saturday, charged with issaulting Mr. Buckmaster, of the Blossoms lon, was 'rought up again to-day before Sir CuarmArt Rstrar.t. the prisoner proceeded in the same wild and incoherent canner to-day as he did formerly. Immediately on being twought to the bar, he vociferously demanded that the vidence taken on Saturday should be read al.utt to him. Mr. Beresford procteded to real the evident e, in doing vhich he was repeatedly interrupted by the prisoner. The prisoner (with great warmth)—Read it loud, Sir, ,nd not in a pies whisper—(Laughter) —that nobody can ear ; my character is at stake. Mr. Buckmaster again detailed the charge, but met, like Mr. Beresford, with continual interruptions from the prisoner. Sir CHAPMAN MA RSHALL--You really must not pro •eed in this way, prisoner ; the business of the office must se conducted regularly. I will act, you may depend, with is much justice to you as any one. Prisoner—But, Mr. Alderman, I will not allow this person to go on making statements subversive of my cha racter. The man who s iys I Lave committed an assault on s his person proves himself a perfect ignoramus. --(Laughter. ) Sir C. MARSHALL—Mr. King! Prisoner—l have a right to go on, Sir Chapman, and viii do so ; you may commit me twenty times if you please ; the law has not been properly laid down, Sir. Nothing sut hearsay evidence has been offered; and Mr. Buckmaster nay depend upon it, as sure as he is alive, I will indict aim for a conspiracy. Mr. Buckmaster then proceeded to detail the further ,sarticulars of the case, but was again interrupted. Prisoner—Pray, Sir, after you knocked at my door, did ou not rush into the room with two waiters—a little lapper fellow, first yourself, in the midLle, and ani.tlvr in the rear?—(Loud laughter.) Mr. Buckmaster—No. Prisoner (vehemently)—You did, Sir, and you knsw I ittacked your cannister-box fo r it. One pf the waiters at the inn corroborated the state ment of Mr. Buckmaster, clearly proving the assault. Prisoner—Be careful what you are saying, Sir, as you will be indicted for a conspiracy. Mr. William Southwell, of 16, Clifton-stree., stated that about a month ago the prisoner took an attic from them at ss. 6d. a-week, paying a week's rent in advance. He was afraid of his life in consequence of the outrageous conduct of the prisoner, and on Thursday last lie relu'ed ro let prisoner in. He owed witness several weeks' re nt, end had the key of the room ; he therefore wished the ad vice of the Magistrate as to what course he oueht to pursue. The ALDERMAN told him not to be very nice about en tering the room. The witness was continually interrupted by the prisomr -xclaiming, is this a new charge, or am I to consider it the cause of " Buckmaster v. King."--(LaughTer.) Sir CHAPMAN MARSHALL—Have you any friend whrt can speak to your character, Sir? If not, you must find bail to answer the assault. Prisoner—Find bail, eh ! without having. committed my offence. I'll let you know, Sir Chapman that is not according to the principles of the law of Eng lind. Good morning to you, Sir Chapman, and God bless vou and your knowledge of the la.r. I'll let you know bow to treat people of respec!ability in this way. Good morning to you.—The prisoner, 1,,r want of bail, was locked up, amid roars of laughter. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

A correspondent of the Kilkenny Moderator giv, s the '6llowing account of the serious opposition experienced by he police piny employed in posting notices respecting tithes on Wednesday last, near Mooncoin, in that countv:— '' While constable Webb, with the Kilinacon detachment cf police, was enga4ed in posting notices in the neighbour hood of Mooncoin, on Wednesday last, they were sur ounded by a mob of country people, who assailed them with stones, and obstructed them in the execution of that duty. The p dice were compelled to retreat, and at length, after having expended all their ammunition in firing over the heads of their assailants, with a view to intimidate them, took refuge in a house about two miles from Mooncoin, in the direction of Waterford. The police now app ied to the Rev. Mr. Carroll, a Roman Catholic priest, to interfere with the people in their behalf. He did so, and undertook to protect them from any further insult or attack, and he accordingly accompanied constable Webb and t hs h i ey pa a r l t l y to safely y h arr e i n v v e iro dt n h s at tof the c eveni ng it of .yNone one Waterford,o ti,the police_ w t men were injured, and only one policeman hurt by the blow of a stone." It appears that the parish of Graigue is now undergoing the operations of seizure and sale on account of tithes. A body of police left Kilkenny yesterday for that neighbour hood, taking with them a cart load of provisions and two kegs of gunpowder ! 1 In the county of Kildare the suffering farmers and pea santry are now turning their attention to legal remedies. In the parish of Kill, where the Rev. 11r. Warburton posted notices of sale in six days, they have contrived to baffle him, and remove the cause out of the hands of the auctioneer and police into Chancery. They have appointed an agent, named Harrison (a country attorney), to conduct their cause, and have subscribed liberally to meet the neees.. sary law expenses. To evade the law against subscriptions for illegal purposes, the parishioners of Kill have thrown theirs into the fund for defraying the expenses of the Catholic el apel,where all their meetings on business are held.

They have already succeeded in converting his two valua tors, who declare they will rather go to goal for three months than swear to their valuation of crops through the palish for 1831, the matter now in dispute. Lord Cloncurry has been consulted, and thinks the parishioners are going on legally. Mr. C. Maxwell, tire proprietor of the Kilkenny Journal, was at rested yesterday, and obliged to enter into recognizances, himself in the sum of 4001. and two sureties in 2001., to appear in Dublin on tar f t 1 t e r be d 2 a 7 ca t k h gaa o sifnstth the other t he three itao March, c a I , s o v answer •e relative t r w charges a p rutgobe publications -- one thei e t a o tsciebeanxnent execution — h nu then n oi ontn p eo r os e oko - f declaring meeting a t B i a n i n iy o ui c :aa e : n i ecf,oaexrnv; and at the e i et i him i n 1 s too month , ofaccounth i I , connected m en with who the die great d p 2 wl O ah O ci ec , Oho Ono Colonelt the e eop i l e tßh w uat e nl r e, e ir 1 8 1 a 4)r i t d ehs i to t i o ef d have ae Julye which last.b been e 1 publications u p bl r l e ti pre siding at this meeting that Colonel Butler was deprived of his Deputy-Lieutenancy.
