( ° - morrow will he the nomination day for most of th e boroughs throughout England, and by W ednesdav the returns will be received. `We refer for the last accounts from Antwerp to another p art o f Th e Sun. The si ege was car tying on with vigour by the French, and with corresponding inactivity on the part of the Dutch. Ther e appears to be a very general impression ' l l th e public mind, that Ministers are alarmed 4 t th e preva l ence o f sentiments more l ib eral than ' t hey consider consistent with the nature of our 4stitutions, and the stability of Government ; pfd that, in order to prevent the preponderance the mouvement party in the House of Com mons, the Whigs are, in many instances, culti vating an alliance with the Conservatives against Liberal candidates. We cannot help thinking that the impression to which we allude, is alto gether an erroneous one ; for whatever may be the views of those Members of the Cabinet who were so profusely honoured with Court favour, at a time when Earl GREY was under the shadow of Royal displeasure, it is not to be supposed that such men as Lord HOLLAND, Lord LANS nowNE, and Lord BROUGHAM, would consent to remain in a Cabinet, the majority of which would attempt to interrupt the course of political improvement, of which the Reform Bill is but the commencement. That Lord BROUGHAM and those of his colleagues who, like him, are thought to be thorough Liberals, are anxious to prevent the spread of wild doctrines, and to check visionary plans, we can easily believe ; for just in proportion as a man desires improve ment, he is firm in opposing innovation, which may prove destructive ; but we cannot believe that they would attempt to render the political machine of Reform useless, by locking the wheel which was to set it in motion. It is quite true that, with the exception of the Reform Bill, Ministers have done little in the way of public improvement and benefit, since their accession to office. They have neither re pealed the taxes on knowledge, nor reduced a standing army, which, in a time of profound peace, amounts, with militia and marines on shore, and the newpolice, to nearly 200,000 men, and which has cost, in 17 years, 200,000,0001. sterling, nor reduced the assessed taxes, as might be done by means of a more general and less oppressive tax, which would affect those who derive a great deal from the country, without contributing any thing towards it; nor abolished the disgraceful, degrading, and sometimes mur derous system of punishment in the army. These, and a hundred other grievances and abuses, re main in force as under a Tory Administration, and if the present Ministers had not given earliest of good intentions, public indignation would have been excited against them. But is it fair to suppose that they do not intend to bring forward as rapidly as time will permit, those measures which men of sense and patriotism have declared necessary for the good of the people? Could they have done this already, opposed as they have been by different factions, and with the Court influence directly against them ? We think not ; and we think also that they will con sider the Reform Bill as the fly-wheel of the political machine, and immediately set it in motion—that they will not regard that Bill as the end, but as the means, of improvement, and that they will aim, not at the retention of place, but at the gratitude of the country. In the meantime, however, we would seriously caution Ministers against the display of any conduct which could warrant a serious belief that they are labouring under the delusion that danger is threatened by the Liberal party. Were every Radical Candidate to be returned to Par liament, the preponderance of true Conzerva- tives—of men who would make the Government and our institutions what they ought to be, and not destroy those distinctions of society which are necessary for its welfare—would be sufficient for any well-meaning Ministry ; and no other can, we are sure, ever maintain itself against a Reformed Parliament. We have received the Paris Papers of Wed nesday, but they contain no matter of importance, in which the English papers have not anticipated them. Indeed, we showed yesterday that the French Papers were more likely to find Ant werp news in our journals, than we in theirs. They contain no other intelligence of interest on this side of the channel.

An article, dated Turin, Nov. 20, mentions that it is in contemplation to raise the Sardinian army to its full complement of 60,000 men. The res t of the article consists of mere rambling specula- tion : SPIRES, Nov. 26.—1 t is well known that conformably to the resolution of the German Diet, a very considerable tete de pont was to be erected at Gemersheim. This plan has not yet been executed, on account of the very great expense, which is said to be estimated at nine mil lions of florins. We now hear, however, that the pro ject is to be carried into effect, and that commissioners are already appointed by the Diet. STUTTGARD, Nov. 21.—The permanent Counsellors of the States met to-day to examine, as the Constitution pre scribes, th e account o f t h e pu bli c revenue an d t h e expen diture of the year 1831-1832, and to discuss the account which is to be laid before the Assembly of the States in their next session. CAssEL, Nov. 23.—1 t is reported that the Govern ment will convoke the Assembly of the States for the sth of January, and not wait till the 26th, the latest date fixed by the Constitution. It is impossible to predict the the results of this nex t S ess i on, as all will depend on the possibility of an accommodation between the Ministry and the Estates. There can, however, be but little hope of affairs taking such a turn, if it be true that a considerable number of the newly-elected deputies intend to begin by proposing to impeach the Ministry, which would be fol lowed by a new refusal of the budget, which was not ac eepted last year. If an arrang emen t s h ou ld b e e ff ected, the approaching Session may be very important and long, for there are many laws to be discussed. TURIN, Nov. 20.—The arrest of the Duchess of Berry has caused a great sensation in our Court; it was thought that the Duchess was out of France, and in safety, when the news of her arrest arrived ; now fears are entertained respecting the proceedings against her, and many disclo sures which may lead to disagreeable discussions. We often hear people say that M. Thiers would have done better and have more proscribed the interest of his Go vernment, if he had favoured the retreat of the Duchess, and suffered her to escape unmolested. It is affirmed that she was on the point of going to Italy, and would have fixed her abode in Modena. The juste-milieus, they say, will derive no advantage from the capture of the Prin cess, but get into difficulties, which might have been averted by a little prudence. Military preparations are again making here; it is in contemplation to raise the army to its full complement of 60,000 men ; whereas at present there are o n ly 28,000 men under arms. This increase is rendered necessary by the present state of things, which it is evident cannot continue. A general reduction of the armies of Europe, the favourite plan of the juste-milieu, is not to be thought of, but, on the contrary, we must be ready for un , oreseen events. The spirit that prevails in Upper and Lower Italy is not the best, and manifests itself on every occasion. The Governments are on the qui vire, and they have especially increased their vigilance since the correspondence of Mr. Seymour, published in the Eng, lish journals, gives to the discontented a kind of moral sup port which they had nct viwte, and which is very favour abl, to their plans. One would think that the English Government was seeking to revolutionize all Europe. Considering the usual secrecy of English diplomacy and the rigorous superintendence of its agents, it is not con ceivable that the documents should be published without the previous knowledge of the Government, which must contribute to inflame people's minds and keep up that party spirit which is already too much excited. It is affirmed that Lord Palmerston has expressed great displeasure at the publication of Mr. Seymour's correspondence; but we shall doubt the sincerity of this displeasure till he seriously urges the punishment of those who are to blame. The leaders of the liberal party in the legations triumph in this publicity, by which they are in some degree en couraged in their hostility to the Papal Government. I►t is a dangerous game that the English Ministers are play ing, for notl,ing is more easy than to excite discontent ; and if we are rightly informed a part of the Swiss troops in the Papal service have already been exposed to the se ductions of the liberal party. What misfortunes may ac crue to the Roman states, if, in new troubles, the armed force should be wanting in its duty ! VIENNA, Nov. 26.—Five per Cents. 83 9-16 ; Four per Cents. 724 ; Bank Stock 1076.—Allgemeine Zeitung, Dec. 1. The last official accounts from Brussels state that the present Belgian Ministers are likely to remain in office, the senate being entirely in their favour, and many of the Members of the Cham ber of Deputies, who voted against them, having expressed a wish that they should remain. The account which we copied yesterday from the Times, relative to the proposed establish ment of a daily estafette with Paris, appears to have excited much interest in a particular quar ter, where its correctness is denied. We have reason, however, to believe, that the statement of obstacles having been thrown in the way of the proposed arrangement by some of the persons con nected with the Post-office here, who derive an advantage from the non-estafette days, is not unfounded ; but we are able to assert positively, that similar obstacles exist on the other side of the water. This is denied by the French jour nals, but the fact is easy of proof. It is to be hoped, however, that neither the Duke of RICH MOND nor the Director of the Postes in France, will allow a few interested subalterns to prevent the accomplishment of an object so important to the mercantile interest in both countries. We have received a small pamphlet by Mr• MUNDELL, entitled " A Supplement to an Exa mination taken on the Bank Charter." The objects Mr. MUNDELL has in view in this Sup plement are to reply to objections which have been urged against his examination of the evi dence taken before the Committee of Secrecy on the Bank Charter, to explain errors attributed to him, and to bring under the notice of the public the results of the account, No. 6 of the Appendix to the report of the evidence taken before the Committee. Mr. MUNDELL very clearly establishes, in his examination of the last named document, that the Bank has conti nually abused its power of issue, but, were it not always desirable to have the opinion of men like Mr. MUNDELL, who have devoted time and la bour to the consideration of financial and statis tical details, it would really be a work of supere rerogation to show that the Bank can be no longer safely trusted with the uncontrolled power' it has so long exercised to the public injury. Upon this point the public mind is made up. There is another, however, touched upon by the writer, with respect to which the same unanimity is far from prevailing. We allude to the esta blishment of a Government Bank. Mr. MUN. DELL having been charged with dismissing the proposition as absurd in too cavalier a manner in his last publication, now sums up the ob jections to it in a series of interrogatives. As this is a question of vast importance, necessarily soon to be brought into discussion, either directly or indirectly, we copy some of the most formida ble of these difficulties : " Ts the amount of Government paper to he limited or unlimited? Even if limited at first, is there any certainty that it will not be extended afterwards? " Is the receipt of Government paper to be voluntary, or is it to be compulsory ? " If it is to be voluntary, will any one take it, unless at a discount ? " If it is to be compulsory, will it not necessarily be at a discount ? " Is the Government bank to be the sole bank of issue in the country ? " If it is to be the sole bank of issue in the country, are all the existing Banking Companies now issuing notes to be put down ? and how are they to be put down ? and what are to be the consequences of their being put down ? and are they to be put down without compensation? and if with compensation, where is the compensation to come from ? is the exchangeable value of its paper to be maintained ? Is paym en t a lw a ys to h e d e mandable in go ld and silver coin ? If so, how is the Government to purchase the gold and silver required for the coin ? If it is not to be always demandable in gold and silver coin, must it not ne cessarily be at a discount ? ' How is the State to make its issues or its payments? Is it to appoint managers for this purpose, and are these managers to be confined to the metropolis, or are they to be extended to every part of the United Kingdom ? " And what may be the political consequences? " Will not an engine be thereby placed in the hands of Government, which may be as fatal to the liberties as it will be to the prosperity of the country?" Had we been without a reformed Parliament we could not have hesitated for a moment in say ing that these objections had overwhelming weight. There cannot be a doubt that Minis ters would, upon the slightest show of tempta tion or necessity, have abused the power which would have been in their hands with as little hesitation as they passed the Bank Restric tion Act, relying upon the protection of a cor rupt Parliament. The danger of abuse of that kind is, thank Gon, now considerably dimi nished, and if PROPER SECURITIES could be fbund against the political evils which might arise i from pl ac i ng a power o f i ssu ing paper mo ney n the hands of the Government, our fears, as regards the possibility of an assignat crisis, would be, perhaps, much less than, we confess, they are at present. At the same time, we can not see how the objection, in principle, can be overcome, of the Government carrying on any trade whatever ; for, after all, banking is as much a trade as any carried on in the city of London ; and, notwithstandin g all we have heard said in de fence of the Government carrying on this parti cular trade, we should look upon its doing SO with as little approbation as we do upon the Go vernments of the continent carrying on manu factories of salt and gunpowder. If a Govern ment Bank were limited in its operation in such a manner as would remove these objections, we admit it might be made highly advantageous to the public ; but we have not yet seen or heard of any plan which has not been open to objec tions, in our opinion, fatal to its adoption.

This notice his Lordship now requested to be posted in the Registrar's office, and also hoped gentlemen present would circulate it through the means in their power, namely, that if there be any cases in the paper, however low down, which both parties will consent to have heard, the Court will be perfectly ready to hear them. Com munications of such cases are to be sent to the Secretary to-day, to-morrow, or on Monday, as his Lordship will sit every hour during which he can be useful. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) ANDERTON V. LORD FOLEY. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Mr. Free man Anderton, as endorser, against the noble defendant, as acceptor, of a bill of exchange for 1,000/., drawn by a person named Alves. The defence was usury. Mr. AD.:menus and Mr. PLATT appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. RICHARDS and Mr. STEER for the defendant. The hand-writing of the drawer and acceptor having been proved, Charles Cox was called to prove the consideration given by the plaintiff for the bill. He stated that he was a picture-dealer in Piccadilly. It was a Mr. George Pen nell's business, but his name was over the door, as he transacted the business for Mr. Pennell. Wh , -n persons called to subpoena Mr. Pennell, the witness, by his desire, declined to tell where he was to be found, but last term he told Mr. Gibbs where he was. On the 2.1 of May, Mr. Pennell received five bills of 1,0004 each, and four of 250/. each, all drawn by Alves, and accepted by Lord Foley, from Mr. James. Archdea con Richardson got the plaintiff to discount the five 1,000/. bills. The plaintiff gave him 2,0001. in cash, and five pictures, valued at 3,0001., for the bills. The present bill was one of them. Cross-examined—Mr. Pennell was a bankrupt about five or six years ago. Mr. Richardson lived at Brixton. Witness never heard any conversation as to how the bills were got from Lord Foley. The pictures were the " Holy Family," the " A,sumption," and three landscapes. Witness received the 2,0001. from the plaintiff's bankers. The plaintiff said that he had given a great deal more money for the pictures than he had charged Mr. Pennell. The " Holy Family " was said to have been one of Ra phael's, and if it had it would have been worth two or three thousand guineas, but witness believed it was not Raphael's. All the pictures bad since been sold by " dis counts," which were not yet paid. The "Holy Family" was sold in that way for about 4001. The five pictures would have fetched, in good times, 6001. or 7001. Wit ness was a picture-dealer, but could not tell their valise. The intrinsic value of the " Holy Family " was about 100/. Mr. RICHARDS, addressing the Jury for the defence, said the Jury must have perceived from the evidence of Cox that the transaction was one of no ordinary character. Bills to the amount of 6,0001. appeared to have been got from Lord Foley, and passed from band to hand without having one intermediate endorsement upon them, and now separate actions were brought, the present upon one bill for 1,000, and the next case on the list for trial was be tween the same parties upon a second 1,0001. bill. The circumstances of the case were these. The Learned Counsel then detailed the circumstance he had to offer, as would be proved by evidence, and be proceeded to call his witnesses. John Alves, whose appearance was that of a youth about 18 years old, stated that in the early part of 1831, he called on Lord Foley for the purpose of offering to raise money for his Lordship. He received from his Lordship the five bills for 1,0001. each, upon which he advanced on the instant 5001. A few days afterwards he received foul other bills of 250/. each, upon which he advanced 300!., making an advance of 8001. upon 6,000/. bills. The witness here stated, that as be was a party to tte bills (being the drawer of all of them) he thought he was entitled to a release before he gave his evidence. The COUNSEL were not willing to release him, and suggested that he was a competent witness without a re lease. The witness strongly urged that be was liable to be sued upon them. His LORDSHIP declined to interfere in the matter, but merely said, as it was possible something like a conspiracy might come out, the witness was not bound to answer any question that might implic : ite him criminally. The witness then proceeded. He afterwards gave the bills to Mr. Richardson, of whom he knew very little, except that he was in the habit of discounting bills. Upon bearing, a short time after, that Lord Foley had been attempting to get back the bills, he called upon his Lordship to ask if he was prepared to return the 800/. ; his Lordship said that he was not. Witness afterwards went with Mr. Richardson to Mr. Pennell, and the latter gave him for the bil's 1,0001. in money, but deducted a debt witness owed him of 1001., and either 501. or 75/. which the witness Cox received for commission. Witness got either 8251. or 8501. in cash ; the rest of the amount, viz., 5,0001., wit ness received in pictures which had been since disposed of, but he could not tell for what amount. The 8001. and odd was paid him by Richardson. Witness was ignorant of the value of pictures. Mr. ADOLPHUS observed that all the witness's questions savoured strongly of a conspiracy, and he put it to his Lordship whether the witness should be allowed to conti nue his evidence. Lord CHIEF JUSTICE-I cannot help it ; I gave him what caution was necessary. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. ADOLPH US —Was now about 24 years old ; these transactions were in 1831. When he called on Lord Foley first, it was be cause he had two bills drawn by Lord Glengall, which he wished to speak to Lord Foley about. Witness was at present a prisoner in the King's Bench for not putting in his answer to a bill filed in the Exchequer, by Lord Foley against himself and others, respecting the bills in question. Witness could not tell whether Lnrd Foley lived in a ready furnished house, or whether he had sold all his estates. Witness, from beginning to end, knew nothing of the plaintiff. By the Jury—The 8001. which he paid Lord Foley, he had by him, having accumulated it from " various transactions in which he bad been concerned." The plaintiff's answer to the bill, filed by Lord Foley, was put in and read. It stated that he, the plaintiff, gave Richardson 2,000/. in cash, and pictures worth 3,000/. for the bills. Mr. ADOLPHUS replied for the plaintiff. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, said if the Jury be lieved that the plaintiff had given value for the bills, and that he had not received notice of the original fraud, he was entitled to recover ; but if they believed the transac tion between the plaintiff and Pennell was usurious, and that the pictures were really not worth 3,0001., they would find for the defendant. The Jury having retired for some time came into Court, and returned a verdict for the defendant, on the ground that the consideration between the plaintiff and Penne I was usurious. COCHRANE F. THE EARL OF DUNDONALD. This was an action brought by the plaintiff (Mr. Cochrane) against his Noble relative the Earl of Dun- Dundonald (late Lord Cochrane) to recover a compensa tion for five years' services as his private secretary during the period that his Lordship was in the service of the Brazilian, and subsequently of the Greek Governments. Mr. KELLY addressed the Jury at great length for the plaintiff. His client, who was the so❑ of Mr. Brasil Cochrane, the uncle of the Noble defendant, was born in India, from whence he came to England to study for the bar. About that period (1823) the defendant, then Lord Cochrane, accepted an offer from the Emperor of Bazil to command the Brazilian squadron, and deeming it necessary to have some perso❑ about him in whom he could pace the most implicit confidence he took the plaintiff with him as his private secretary. In that capacity he displayed the utmost zeal and fidelity, and rendered the Noble defendant the most important services, not only by his advice but by his exertions. The Noble Earl, while in Brazil, received not only high honours, being created Alarquis of Maranham, but also amassed a large sum of :nosey-20,0001. of which he sent to England. He also traded in cotton, in which trade also the plaintiff rendered great services having been despatched to Eng land, and arranged all the transactions. The Learned Counsel went through a great many details of the difficul ties and dangers to which the defendant was exposed in Brazil, and also subsequently in Greece, as Admiral of the Greek fleet, all of which the plaintiff shared, and in which he rendered the defendant the most signal service, as ap peared by letters he had received from the defendant. On the defendant's retiring to private life in the year 1828, however, he refused to give the plaintiff any corn pensation for having devoted five of the most valuable years of his life to hie services, and at last was obliged to bring SMITHFIELD MARKET.

The accounts published this morning from Brussels and .Antwerp are somewhat interesting : up to Wednesday evening the firing on the citadel of Antwerp continued from the French batteries with great fury, and it is gene rally thought that the defence of General Chasse is rather mysterious.

Mr. PLATT (with whom was Mr. Burr) htated this case to the Jury. The action was brought to recover compensation in damages for certain slanderous words Token of the plaintiff, an ironmonger in the city, imput ing to him fraud in his dealings in trade, by which certain loss had been sustained by him. The defendant was fore. , man to a person named Steers, also an ironmonger in the same neighbourhood, and it was a fact, the Learned Cen tleman said, that he was that day defended by his master's attorney, which he begged the Jury to keep in mind, when estimating the amount of the damages. Joseph Faithful deposed that be was a cabinet-maker, and used to deal sometimes with the plaintiff, and at other times with the Steers. In October, 1831, he was in Steers' shop, and asked the defendants how it was that they charged more for their brass screws than the plaintiff? Defendants said it was because be did not give twelve dozen to the gross—that a gentleman had told him he was in the habit of buying screws from Hair/king, but that they were done so fast, he charged his men with stealing them. They denied it, and said the gross was usual y very short of count. That he then went and bought se veral gross, and on counting them he found them many dozens short. Witness upon this, thinking he had been often cheated by the plaintiff, did not deal with him for some time, when he found out that the information was false. John Barfoot was told tie same - story, and advised to weigh some brads which he bought from the plaintiff, as he sold them 6d. cheaper than Steers, and the defendant was sure they must be short of weight. Mr. Sergeant COLERIDGE (assisted by Mr. CHILTON,) a•idressed the Jury for the defendant. He contended that the plaintiff had total!) , failed in proving special damage, for he had got back both the customers in a very few weeks. If the Jury were of opinion that any damage had neen sustained, be trusted they would think the smallest coin of the realm would amply compens ire for the inj.try. His Lordship (Mr. Baron VAUGHAN) having summed up, the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a vet diet for the plaintiff—Damages 40s. LONDON SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) This morning these.

PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATES.-The ap proat•hing elections render peculiarly opportune the ap • pearance of " Mr. Burke's History of the Commoners," which must obviously prove a serviceable guide in that investigation into the connexions, alliances, and inte rests of canvassers, which it behoves electors, for their on n security, to make.

PEMBERTON.-- TOTAL DEFEAT OF THE TORIES.—TAUNTON, TUES DAY EVENING.—As we had previously predicted, Mr. PEMBERTON, the Tory candidate, retired from the contest this evening. He briefly addressed the electors, stating that he would not keep up a useless excitement. He ad mitted that he was beaten, and added that he thought us very well represented. He concluded with a philippic against the Reform Bill, from which he anticipated every evil which flesh is heir to; and not the least shameful of its consequences was, that it excluded himself, and such like Anti-Reformers from the House of Commons. Thus the people have achieved a signal victory; they have put forth their strength, and their enemies fly before them. The town of Taunton has indi cated its character for public spirit and love of Re form. The Blues have failed once again, and every honest man will pray that this may be their last struggle.

The writ for the election of new representatives arrived here to-day, and will be proclaimed to-morrow. Mon day next is fixed for the borough election. The county election is expected to be on Wednesday the 19th instant. Mr. LUTTRELL's resignation also is hourly expected, Mr. TYNTE having a majority of more than two thou- sand.

The noble conduct of Sir WALTER was warmly eulogized; and that of his children, who have, as nobly, given up their inheri tance, to discharge their father's obligations, was spoken of with no less praise.
