The, Government of the Grand Duchy of Hesse has issued an ordinance respecting the passage of Polish re fugees through the Grand Duchy, to the effect " that as the Austrian and Prussian Governments refuse to allow Poles who have passed through Germany to France and Belgium, to pass through their territory, in case the emigrants should attempt to return without having re ceived permission, and as it may be foreseen that they will not he admitted into the States of the Confederation, so that if they once get into the Grand Duchy they will re main a burden to it,--admittance into the Province of Hesse, on the Rhine, and the lines necessary to pass through, shall be given only to those Poles returning to their country, who can prove that they have obtained from the Russian, Austrian, or Prussian Governments permission to return to Poland, or to pass through their territory for that purpose : and as it appears that 'France admits no Poles to enter that country, unless they have passports to France, signed by a French Legation, and as no Poles are at all admitted into Rhenish Bavaria, there fore admittance into Rhenish Hessee shall be granted to Poles travelling to France only when they are provided with regular passports to that country ; they must also take a road to France that does not lead to Rhenish Ba varia."

A young seaman, named DAVID INFKENZIE, was this week to have been married to a " Limerick lass," who had for a long time received his overtures of love. The fair one suddenly changed her mind ; and poor 111`KEisztE, shocked at her inconstancy, and frenzied by his disappointment, determined not to live ; so on TUVI - last he mired from a house on the quay of Lime. rick, where be lodged, and flung himself into the river.— Fortunately some small boats were at hand, and succeeded in ri scuing him (not without some difficulty, so strong was his desire to perish) from his dangerous situation The poor fellow, now that he has become sensible of his folly, is extri melt' grateful for the frustration of his mad resolve.—Limerick Paper. At a recent friendly dinner party, in this county, the conversation turned on the decline of hospi tality in England. A gentleman, who was present, and Who reg re t te d the fact, took the following enigmatical method of proving it. " I have spent," said he, " many a rieasant day in this house, having been very' intimate with the three gentlemen who, in succession, have occu pied the estate for more than half a century. From the first gentleman I never had an invitation to dine; with the second I never dined ; with the third, the present occu ;ler, I dined only once, viz the II th of September, 1832. Notwithstanding these facts, I absolutely dined in this house, in the 18th century, 8,452 times, and in the present century only 619 tines." —From a correspondent of the .Essex Hcruld, His MAJESTY gave audiences in the course of the after• noon to Viscount ➢IELBOURNE, Viscount PALMERSTON Sir JAMES Gann - Am, Lord HILL, the Earl of ALBE NIA RLE, and Sir T.

Mr. Green, the celebrated aeronaut, made a magnificent ascent on Friday, from the King's Arms Ytird, at 4 o'clock, in the view of a countless multi tude of people. We never witnessed so splendid a turn-out, such a dense array of human beings, in cluding all ranks and classes, congregated on the bonny banks of Nith before. The burgh of Castle Douglas despatched forty citizens on a mission of curiosity, with the worthy Provost and Bailie at their bead ; Annan, Lochmaben, Lockerby, Moffat, Sanquhar, Kirkcudbright, Gatehouse, Newton Stewart, Wigton, and even Stranraer, sent delegates to represent them in the aerial parliament, summoned by Mr. Green ; and perhaps we speak within bounds when we say that our resident population was more than doubled, and that at least twenty thousand per sons in Dumfries and its vicinity, to say nothing of the crowds congregated in other places, were present while MG Green launched his beautiful air-.hip, re minding all and sundry of the words of Allln Ramsay— ., See, see, he like the lav'rock towers, He'll reach the stars in twa'r three hours." The highest altitude to which the aeronaut at tained was, as near as he could calculate, three-fourths of a mik, and though his flight scarcely lasted fifteen minutes, he cleared in that time a distance of five and a half miles. At the hour of ascent a shower fell, and a smarter one after Mr. Green had crossed the Craigs, which of course condensed the gas, and brought him sooner to the ground than he had anti cipated only a few minutes before, when he threw out ballast, and got into an upper current, which changed almost entirely the course of the balloon, impelling it right in the direction of the sea. The first descent was natural and easy, and occurred at a spot called the Isle of Man Moss. The grappling iron took firm hold of the earth, and would have enabled the voyager, with a little assistance, to finish his cruise with comparative ease: but very unfortu nately, a line broke which Mr. Green uses for the purpose of shaping the balloon like a parachute when the gas becomes suddenly condensed, and thus checking the velocity of the de scent. Failing in his aim, the machine presented a concavity which enabled the wind to act on it with great force; and in this manner the car was dragged along, now up, and then down, and re bounding over mossy brows, after a manner very fearful to witness. The first persons that reached the spot seemed afraid to act, probably from the dangling of the grapling iron and car, and it was not till M . r. G reen h ad repeatedly i n f orme d t h em t h at his life was at sta k e t h at they en li ste d t h e i r " thews and sinews" in the service of humanity. The first force applied was i nsuff i cient, and one man who, by clinging to the car, was lifted at least 20 feet high, was so much astonished at his novel position, that from the moment his feet retouched the sod, he de clined to re-engage "in sae kittle a trade." But as the crowd swelled, a relay of hands was easily procured, and in the end the mighty mass of silk was arrested, and Mr. Green rescued from his peri lous situation, bruised considerably, but still able to walk without assistance, and superintend the work ing of his air-ship. WILD SPORTS OF TIIE WEST.—The chief scenes of the new Sporting Work, by the well-known Author of " Stories of Waterloo," are, we understand, in the romantic hills and on the lakes and rivers of Ireland. Salmon-fishing is treated at large, and so is grouse shoot ing, deer shooting, and other sports common to the sister island. The work is interspersed with sketches of the people, and of the aspect of the country. On Monday, the 3d inst. near 100 persons, neighbours of CHARLES TREVOR TYSDAL, Eq., of Erin Vale, spontaneously assembled, and most carefully reaped, bound, and stacked a large field of fine wheat belonging to that gentleman. They afterwards proceeded to the lands of GEORGE Nuzum, Esq., of Ballydnff, and in like manner cut down and made up whatever corn he had fit for the hook. Again, on Monday, the 10th, an equal number assembled, and reaped a large field of barley for Mr. Ty soar., which had not been ripe on the Monday before.— Wexford Independent. --- Extract of a letter, dated Falmouth, Sept. 25 The London Merchant, from Oporto, came to anctior in our harbour at 8 o'clock this morning ; she left on the 21st, with a messenger and a few passengers. Up to the hour of her leaving (8 o'clock in the morning) no .action of decisive importance had taken place, though one was hourly expected. It is very evident, from all accounts, that sonic grand move must so be made. The Miguelite party so annoy the inhabitants of Oporto, that the most respectable of the British residents, with many foreigners of distinction, had taken refuge on board the King's ships. The only account of the squadrons is, that they are still ~ir Cape St. Vincent. The loss of Don Miguel's steamer is confirmed by the commander of the London Merchant. A rather novel circumstance happened at St. James's Church on Sunday morning last. The banns of marriage between " WILLIAM GURNEY and MARIA PEA COCK" having been published in the usual form, the Cler gyman was stopped by GURNEY'S father, who, standing up, exclaimed aloud, " I forbid the banns here, and in every church in the kingdom! my son is only 16. Bare roc A very curious document has been recently pub lished, by order of the House of Commons. It is a statement, drawn up by Mr. Rickman, containing detail of the number of Acts of Parliament passed during the last 25 years (28 Sessions), with the d a ys and hours of sitting in each Session, and the subject on which the largest division took place:— In 1806, the Session lasted 125 sitting days, and at 645 hours, during which 158 Public Acts were passed, and 226 Private ones. The greatest number of Members present during the Session was on the 30th of May, when 381 voted on one of the Clauses in the Mutiny Bill. In 1807, there were two Ses sions of 131 sitting days and 706 hours of actual sitting; the number of Public Acts Wail 134, of Pri vate, 286; on the 3d of April, 489 Members divided on a Motion for the dismissal of the Administration ; and on the 26th of June, four days after the opening of the Session, 510 divided on the Address. From 1806 to 1826, the average number of Public Acts passed is about 120, and in no year are there less than 100; since that period, however, the average has not been 70: and in 1831 the number was only GO. The number of Private Acts, however, does not suffer a similar dimi nution, the average being about 180 each year. The greatest number of Public Acts passed in any Session was in 1815, when the number was 196; and in 1814 it was nearly as many, being 190. The smallest number in any Session was in the short one, Ist William IV., when only 27 Public and 80 Private Acts passed the Legisla ture; that Session consisted of 90 sitting days, and of 640 hours of actual sitting. The greatest num ber of days on which any Session continued to sit was in 1812, when the number was 137 ; in 1813 it was 136; and in 1811, 135. The shortest Ses sion in sitting days, exclusive of the short ones at the commencement of ? the last and present reigns, was that of 1807, which consisted of only 45. The average number of sitting days for the whole period was 96 and a fraction. The Session which sat the greatest number of hours, next to that of 1831 (that of the second Reform Bill) when it was 918, was that of 1821, when the House sat 8611 hours: it was during this Session, it will be remembered, that the discussions relative to the Queen occupied so much attention ; the largest number of Members present at a division during that Session was on the motion respecting the introduction of the Queen's name in the Liturgy, when there were present 524 Members. The divisions at which the largest number of Mem bers were present during each Session, were the following :-May 30, 1806, Clause in the Mutiny Bill, 381. April 3, 1807, Dismissal of the Admi nistration, 489. June 26, same year, Address to the Crown, .510. March 29, 1808, at a Billot, 355. March 15, 1809, on the Motion [elating to the Duke of York's Conduct, 497. March 19, 1810, on the Scheldt Expedition, 509. December 31, 1811, on the Creation of Peers by the Regent, 449. April 24, 1812, Roman Catholic Question, 519. May 24, 1813, Roman Catholic Bill, 501. April 22, 1814, Lord Morpeth versus the Speaker, 385. May 25, 1815, the war against Bonaparte, 428. March 18, 1816, the Property Tax, 443. June 2, 1817, Election of a Speaker (the Right Hon. Man ners Sutton), 470. March 11, 1818, Indemnity Bill and Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, 308. May 18, 1819, Motion fora Committee on the State of the Nation, .540. Nov. 14, same year, Address to the Crown, 536. June 22, 1820, Resolution regard ing the Trial of Queen Caroline, 520. Jan. 26, 1821, Resolution in reference to the introduction of the Queen's name in the Liturgy, .524. April 30, 1822, Roman Catholic Peers in Parliament, 498. Apt il 24, 1823, Reform of Parliament, 454. June 11, 1824, Condemnation of Missionary Smith, 344. March 1, 1825, Roman Catholic Claims, 485. April 27, 1826, Reform of Parliament 380. March 6, 1827, Roman Cat bac Claim% 553. Feb. 26, 182 S, CApo ration and 'rest Acts Repeal, 435. March 18, 1829, Roman Catholic Relief Bill, second reading, 531. May 17, 1830, Jews' Relief Bill, 398. March 22, 1831, Motion on the Second Reading of Lord John Russell's first Reform Bill, 608-the greatest num ber that every divided in the House on any ques tion ; and July 6, the some year, on the Motion for the Second Reading of the second Reform Bill, 603. It will thus be seen that the questions which excited greatest attention, judging from the number of Members voting, were the Reform Bill, the Catholic Relief Bill, and the affairs of Queen Caroline. NATIONAL POLITICAL UNION. The weekly meeting of this Union took place last evening at Saville-house. Mr. Sault was voted into the Chair. Mr. DETROSIER, the secretary, read the minutes of the last meeting, which were confirmed. Mr. Fox SMITII, on the adjourned question of the currency, said that if Mr. Hickson's freedom of banking meant anything, it meant an unrestricted power of coining, which in the bands of any man or body of men would be the most unfortunate thing for the community in general. As for a National Bank, he would not object to it, provided it were under the control of a Government that possessed the confidence of the nation. Mr. CHURCHILL, in addition to what he had stated in the former discussions, had but one more objection to make to a paper currency, which was, that it would always be a strong incentive to forgery. Mr. DETROSIER considered that, according to the resolutions of the mover, the main question was whether banks should be established or not. He presumed that the trade of banking should be li mited, and that the country bankers should deposit adequate securities. Much had been said about a currency which should have the same invariable no minal value, without considering that in order to have a fixed currency, it would be necessary to stay the march of invention and improvement. As to adopting the scheme of National banks, according to the resolutions, he saw, he mist confess, many in surmountable obstacles. Mr. RocEes said, one reason why he did not wish to embark upon the sea of a paper currency was, that the price of labour could not rise in an old country until it was first forced down by the misery attending a circumscribed currency. Another of his objections to a paper currency arose from the fact, that foreign countries in time of war would cut up the sinews of the country, by distributing among the people a large quantity of forged notes. It was pretty generally known, that Pitt and Dundas had recourse to such vile means during the war with France; that they had sanctioned the forging of assigeats; and that Lord Kenyon had justified the morality of the measure. If, in a future war, France should retaliate upon us, it would not be consistent to complain of a measure justified by one of the Learned Judges of the land. A national bank had been mentioned, to be instituted under a Govern ment that had the confidence of the people; he hoped never to see a Government possessing the confidence of the people, for the mo meat it did, it would be sure to oppress the people. He always desired to see the people suspi cious and jealous of their Government. It had also been suggested, that Government should have the power of increasing the circulation of the currency in certain cases of exigency. He entirely objected to such suggestion ; for if Government had that power, it would be continually creating the cases of exigency, and consequently injuring the whole com munity. Mr: AIONGIifiDIU Said, that if it wcre true that Mr. CARPENTER expressed himself decidedly fa vourable to a paper currency, but not to such a on,. as Mr. Hickson advoca•ed. Mr. HICKSON said, the United States possessed an excess of paper currency compared with this country, vet the necessaries of life were mud, cheaper there than in England. He believed tha' the liberty to re-issue 1/. notes would raise prier. perhaps 10 per cent., but that he considered essen tial to the interests of the producers. That conk not be termed robbing the fundholders, for the latter were now living upon the losses of the mingle. timers and farmers. If an unexpected foreign de• mand were to raise prices in a similar manner, that might be equally termed robbing the fundholdel. He acquiesced in the amendment for the previous question, his only object having been a full d►scussion of the subject. Mr. CIIURCIIILL then moved the previous pies tion; which being assented to, the meeting separated . I "Imp, ARCTIC LAND EXPEDITION. We rejoice to learn that an expedition to the shores of the Polar Seas, for the purpose mentioned in the following statement, is at last finally deter mined upon—to proceed, without delay, under the command of Captain Back, by way of Canada, and early in the spring to move towards the territories of the Hudson's Bay Company, who take a warm interest in the success of the enterprise. It is in tended that Captain Back, without deviating from the main object of his mission, shall avail himself of every opportunity that may occur to enrich the sci entific world, and that before his return he will have explored those unknown regions between Point Turnagain, where Captain Franklin finished his journey, and the furthermost point to the west, reached by Captain Parry, and thus wind up the main object of those two expeditions—it being sup posed, from rein deer and musk oxen being found on Melville Island, that the land is either continu ous, or divided only by narrow straits. Government, it will he perceived, have agreed ti contribute 2,0001. towards the expense upon three conditions, two of which, we are happy to say, are already complied with, and the third (that of ras ing 3,0001. amongst the friends of Captain Ross), it is thought they will be able to accomplish without any appeal to the public; but if it should be found impracticable without, we are persuaded that men who have risked their lives and sacrificed their for tunes (as Captain Ross and sons have done) for the pure sake of science and honour of the nation, would be deemed by their countrymen deserving of some sympathy in the perilous situation in which they are placed Without wishing to detract from the merit of the other projectors of the enterprise, we may observe, that the zeal and perseverance displayed by Mr. George Ross, the brother of Captain Ross, on this occasion, reflects the highest credit on that gentle man. At a Meeting of the Friends of Captain Ross, held at the Office, 267, Strand, London, 20th Sep tember, 1832 Read—A communication from Mr. George Ross' stating, that upon having found that his Majesty's Government did not intend to send out any expedi tion to ascertain the fate of his brother, Captain John Ross and son, commander James Clarke Ross, R.N., who, with a crew of nineteen men, sailed about three years ago, on a voyage of disco very, to the Arctic Regions, he had lately been using his best endeavours to get up a private expe dition for that interesting purpose, acting on a plan of operations suggested by Dr. Richardson and other scientific and experienced men—that the Hud son's Bay Company, in furtherance of his views, had, on his application, promised their cordial co-opera tion and valuable assistance; and that they had, by their last ships which sailed in June, sent out in structions to the respective factors in their territory, to prepare and forward the necessary stores and pro visions to the different stations through which the intended expedition might be expected to pass, and also to provide canoes and other conveniences for its use—that Mr. Ross, in the next place presented a Memorial to the King, humbly praying his Ma jesty's gracious sanction of the measure, with leave for certain officers of the Royal Navy to accompany the expedition, and such other aid as his Majesty might humanely be pleased to afford; to which a favourable answer had been received. That Cap. tain Back, the able and intelligent companion of Captain Sir John Franklin, in two similar enter ' prises, had since accepted the command of the Ex pedition, and that the Hudson's Bay Company had most liberally promised to furnish certain pro visions (Pemican) and canoes, necessary for the occasion, free of expense. Submitted—A letter from Lord Howick, convey ing the reply to Mr. Ross's Memorial to his Majesty, of which the following is a copy : " Downing-street, Aug. 30, 1832. " am directed by Viscount Goderieh, to acquaint you that his Majesty having been pleased to refer your petition to his Lordship's consideration, Lord Goderich has felt himself justified in recom mending to the Lords Commissioners of the Treasury to grant the sum of 2,0001. in aid of the expenses of the expedition, provided that it is commanded by Captain Back, it being understood that the Hud son's Bay Company will furnish the supplies and canoes free of charge, and that the remainder of the expense, which is estimated to amount to 3,0001., will be contributed by Captain Ross's friends. On receiving an answer from the Treasury, the result will be duly communicated to you. " I am, Sir, your most obedient Servant, " To George Ross, Esq. " HOWICK." " Resolved, That it is the opinion of this meet ing, from the best information they have been able to collect, that a confident hope may still reasonably be entertained, that the Captains Ross and their adventurous companions may yet be in a place of safety ; and that, although very probably exposed to great hardships and dangers, still, that the beneficial effect of this expedition may in all likelihood afford the means of granting them timely relief; and this expectation appears to be strongly encouraged from the circumstance that they did not calculate on be ing able to return to this country sooner than three years from the time they sailed, which is now but little more than expired—that they were amply sup plied with provisions and stores for three years, and if they reached the wreck of the Fury, which was the first object they had in view, there they would Clod supplies which would last a considerably longer period, independent of what they might expect to derive from rein deer, musk oxen, and various other sorts of fresh provisions, supposed to be found in those regions, it being a well-known fact that the crews of two vessels (the Albany and Discovery) existed for nearly three years on Marble Island, solely on whale blubber , seal flesh, and train oil,' occasionally supplied by the native Esquetnaux. " Resolved, That although the ostensible and primary object of this expedition is for the humane purpose afore , aid, yet it is the opinion of this meet ttg that so favourable an opportunity should not b lost, in per,uing, as far as may be practicable and convenient, the desirable ends of science, to which MANUFACTURING TOWNS IN BELGIUM. (Abridged from the Correspondence of the Morning Herald.) I promised in my last letter from Namur to give yott some account of the actual commercial conflition Of this erect district of manufacture, which is to the Low Countries what Sheffield, Birmingham, and Manchester, Are to England. Belgium has been considered by many unit quiri:ng persons in England as an almost entirely agricultural country, and the Belgians themselves a very stupid set of people. Both opinions are equally consistent with truth, and are with as much justice predxable of the in uabitants of England. The inhabitants of Flinders have surpassed any other similarly situated community in Europe—they were your masters in England, and are now, as your merchants well know, your rivals in the foreign markets. They abound in mines of iron, lead, zinc, and coal. Nor has an intelligent and industrious e le allowed Nature to be so profuse in her gifts in vain. Numerous great establishments have existed to render hem available to the purposes of life, and innumerable ope 'es of every class been engaged in their development. And first of the coal mines. These, although found in many parts of the line which we have traced, are most thundant in the neighbourhood of Charleroi. The coal has not only been used for all common domestic purposes, but in working the other mines of the district, in supplying fuel to the stram•engines, ha various factories, but also, in the time of the Dutch, was sent by water into all the northern provinces, and into Holland itself. For this purpose the shallow waters of the Sambre, upon which Charleroi stands, in the province of Hainault, were swel'ed into a perfect canal by the massive dam of masonry which, as I have already mentioned, is thrown across it just before its junction with the Meuse at Namur. On the latter river it performed the remainder of its profitable voyage. At the verge of the town of Lege itself there is a most productive mine, with works of the most scien'ific construction. In the depot attached to it the vast square masses; of the extracted coal are built up into piles of amazing dimensions, waiting for better times. There is no present sale for them. The people in general here consume the coal dust, which they have mixed up like mortar, with a species of yellow clay, and then formed in shapes like bricks, and put up to dry in stoves. They then ate an excellent substitute for the larger coal, and burn with a slow, but intense, heat. ratio• Neat to the coal are the iron mines, whose present colt. lition is in an almost equally deplorable state. These are very rich, and produce a good second-tate quality of metal. ['hey are chiefly about Charleroi ar,d Namur, and have employed a great number of smelting-houses and forges. The chief market, however, for the heavy iron works, was in Holland and the colonies. Three are, for the present, lost. One branch of trade, however, connected with the iron mines is in full employment here—the tithrieation of 'ruts of every description. England had the opportunity ~f getting much of the supply of the Belgic army, hut, thanks to the dishonesty of her manufacturers, who have trrived at such admirable proficiency in making had articles with a captivating exterior, she lost it. Liege is now all one great armoury, and in truth, in plain work, she can make 4 better article for a lower price than your bona fide work men. Liege has at present orders from the Pacha of Egypt alone, which would keep her in activity for at least many months. The manufacture of saddlery is also a guide here, and, for the same reason as that applicable to the arms' trade, is in full activity. In this the Liegeois have di° much foreign demand. In Brazil and Colombil th, y find a constant consumption. Here again they come in competition with our British work, but fur genuine serviceable articles, not made up for the eye alone, they btain a just preference. At Namur you find the most celebrated cutlery workers on the Continent. They use English steel, and can then undersell us. Their knives are good, but they acknowledge that they cannot toproach the English razors. They cannot get into France under a duty of 25 per cent., but, even with such an incubus, they can compete successfully with the worktnen of that country. They have also a good trade with Italy ; in the counting-house of M. Arnolt, the first in the town, I saw several very large orders for that country. At Verviers are the great cloth manufactories of Bel gium, for which the manufacturers get their wool in Saxony. They have suffered very much from the revolu tion, as Holland consumed a great deal of their produce. A. partner in a great house here assured Fne that in the year 1829 he had sent 27,000 pieces into that part of the United Countries. The trade is now, however, reviving, after a long depression. The supply of the army is one great source of occupation. Though other Continental markets, to which the usual line of communication was ')y Antwerp, have again been entered by new routes, you will perhaps be surprised to hear that Italy has long been t Crest market for Belgian cloths. The merchants from Venice and from Genoa, but especially from Piedmont, nave been in the habit of coming here in person, and making a selection of extensive stock, to have it home by the Meuse and along sea. They have now been obliged to take their purchases across France, of course ander a very strict surveillance of Custom-house agents. .1 great deal of Verviers' cloth is also consumed in Ger many, into which it went by Antwerp, and through Lim lurg. Our English merchants have in this branch of trade Also been surpassed in second-rate fabrics, which are made better and cheaper than they could get them up for. France has altogether prohibited a competition with her trtitans. MELANCHOLY AND DISTRESSING ACCI nENT.—On Thursday evening last, the following melan choly occurrence took place at Barley Dean Gilhery, parish of Carrington, the property of the Earl of ROSE • BERRY, and held on lease by Mr. FORESTER : —Among he workmen employed at that place is a man of the name of PENMAN, and his five sons. The father and two of she sons had ascended from the pit, and the three others mere in the act of ascending, and had nearly reached the nouth of the pit, when, awful to relate, the ring by which the bucket was suspended broke, and the unfortunate inn sere precipitated to the bottom of the pit, a depth of 33 fathoms. One of the brothers immediatdy descended, and 'he bodies were shortly afterwards got up in a shockingly , nutilated state, and conveyed in a cart to the residence of , heir father.— Caledonian Mercury.

For the last three or four days the neighbour 'rood of Pownall-terrace, Kennington.road, Lambeth, was in some suspense, in consequence of the sudden disappear trice of an old gentleman, named KIRBY, who lived by , imself, in No. 4, Pownall-terrace. He was last seen on Sunday morning, about 11 o'clock. On Monday he did not make his appearance, and several persons, on calling, found the house shut up.
