. etc • 4 LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1832. We are requested to contradict the infamous report that appeared yesterday in some of the Sunday Papers respecting the Duchess of Ricti- MoND. There is not the slightest truth in the report in question, which no doubt originated in political motives. The Ultra faction, provided it can gain an end, is not scrupulous about the means. We (Sun) took no notice of the foul slander, knowing that it was a rank falsehood. The public will do well to mark the game now playing by the Boroughmongers, the perse vering industry and artifice with which they labour to pervert every passing event, however appa rently remote or trivial, to the furtherance of their only object, the delay and defeat of the great measure of REFORM. A dinner to the memory of the poet BURNS ; the terms of the pending treaty for the severance of Belgium from Holland ; the construction of the Belgic treaty contracted by the Tories in 1814, are seized upon with equal avidity, for the same purpose, the latter being a profligate treaty, by which millions wrung from the British people were wantonly lavished in supporting the cause of continental despotism. And yet the Tories now cry out at the expendi ture of some tens of thousands though it pro motes British objects ! Verily their stomachs have become exceedingly delicate and squeamish of late, having swallowed the camel when in office, they strain at the gnat now they are out, They, in reality, care nothing for the pending Belgic treaty, or the construction of the past, or any other question they moot, save as affording pretexts to attack the Government, consume the time of the Legislature, and if possible divert the attention of the public, from the one great object of their unceasing dread and animosi'y, Reform. Having to no purpose debated and di vided on the Reform Bill, ad nauseam, in the last session, they now proceed upon a fresh tack, and have resolved, in solemn conclave, systema tically to occupy the time of the House in debating and dividing on any and every ques tion they can raise, in order to throw aside the question of Reform, and in the hope they may on some division gain oversome ofits supporters. Ministers may not be infallible, but there i s scarcely a man in the kingdom who believes they took office merely for the sake of office, or who believes the Tories seek to regain office for any object beneficial to the public. Who, and what are, and from whence spring the host of noisy clamourers against the Government—the Gout.- Ulm, the CROKERS, the DAWSONS, the 1 - lEnniEs's, et id genus omne ? The public are not likely to mistake the nature of the services they have rendered the State, when they look at the debt and pay the taxes—nor the nature of the services they have rendered themselves at the public cost, when they look at what they were, and what they are. We, submit to the consideration of those Members of the Legislature who honestly sup port Reform, whether voting against. the Go vernment on any question factiously brought for ward by the Boroughmongers (even assuming a ease arose in which it had erred), is not to vote against Reform with more effect than by voting against the Reform Bill itself ? Whether Re form, once carried, will not shortly remedy any errors of the present, and many of the crimes of past Governments ? and whether, under existing Circumstances, every honest friend of Reform will not more effectually promote that great cause, by temporarily limiting their disapproval of any particular measure they deem wrong in principle, to a protest against it, than by giving their votes to the deadly opponents of every liberal measure they are anxious to advance ? It is worthy of remark that on the late di vision in the Lords only three Bishops voted (the Bishops of Noitwicti, CHICHES TER, and KILLALOE, who voted for the • Government), the rest of the Right Re verend Bench did not vote, which, we trust, is indicative of their entertaining a more just sense of the duty they owe to the nation that supports them, and that if they again appear in the political arena, it will not be to pander their votes to the Boroughmongers, who arc more bit ter and far more dangerous enemies to the free dom, prosperity, and happiness of England, than all the despots of Europe, if all their hordes were arrayed in arms against them. W e have hardly space to notice an honourable trait in an opponent of Reform. LordWnARN- CLIFF): did not lend himself to the late factious proceedings in the Lords,—his Lordship is said to have left town on the day of the debate, and to have refused to leave his proxy to be used against the Government. The following are extracts from German Papers, and have reference to the war going on at present between the PORTE and the Paella of EGYPT. The paragraph from the frontiers of Russia is worthy of observation : AUGSBRG, JAN. 21.—Several Paris Journals hitch 'Rence received by sea at Marseilles, that the Porte had mention declared Wa r against the Paella of Egypt. Neither the Moniteur Ottoman, W hich we have to the 24th December, nor private letters from o nstantinople to the 27th, speak of a formal declaration of war, w 1 2ick would indeed be very extraordinary from the Porte against liebellious Paella. War, however, has in fact begun. The We news probably relates to the Imperial finnan,. which e Rave in the No. of the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 7th of Jan. , (From the Moniteur Ottoman of the 2-Ith December.) di lt,apressed with the necessity of putting an end to the various "erences between the Governors of Egypt and Saint Jean Acre, the Government has sent Commissioners to them to . ;Nand explanation on the subject. As the Governor of c 'tYpt has not yet answered these dispatches, in which the wisest .:Pllsels were joined with the commands of the Sovereign, this 4 - „ence indicates an intention which seems not to be that of a true to loyal subject. The Government has thought it necessary to 1. 4 ,! measures in consequence. Mehemet Paella, Governor of 1) „ka, and Vice-Governor of Aleppo, commanded in the last ex t„-jlion against Bagdad, under the command of Ali Pacha, ac e - Governor of the latter cit our, the report made by the arciander-in-Chief of the va and skill shown by Mehemet tail he was promoted to the dignit of Pacha of three s. but still remained Vice-Governor y of Aleppo. The " services that he has hitherto performed, give reason to hope that he will fulfil with the same zeal and devotedness the functions to be confided to him in future. The present Government of Bagdad is at this moment en gaged in regulating the important affairs of Irak. It was, there fore, necessary to give Mehemet I'acha sufficient authority to assemble an army on the frontiers of Arabia, which is destined to act in case the actions of the Governor of Egypt and St. Jean d'Acre should render a display of force necessary. The pest of a Commander-in-Chief could alone enable him to fulfil those duties in their full extent. On the 11th of this month Redscheb (December 16), the Government of Aleppo was united with thatof Rakka, and Me hemet Pacha appointed General-in-Chief. Osman Pacha, mirimirian and director of the Imperial mines, the Musselims of Marasch, Sivas, Adana, and Pagos, have received special orders to collect hosen troops, both infantry and cavalry, in numbers corresponding, with the - population of countries under their administration. These officers must place themselves in person at the head of their troops, and under the command of the Sereskier, Mehemet Pacha. Orders were sent at the same time to Alisch Pacha, Governor of Caramania, and to Osman Khaire Paella, Governor of Cxsarea, to be ready to march at the shortest notice. The Directors of the Ordnance have orders to prepare for active service the artillery, bombs, ammunition, &c. necessary for a large army. All proper measures have likewise been taken for the subsistence of the troops, and the on Government is in readiness for the extraordinary measures which the state of things may require. We (the Moniteur Ottoman) have published the resolution of the Government respecting the city of Damascus, where seri ous disturbances have broken out. The generous wish to avoid bloodshed, and to spare the inhabitants, whom the Sultan knew to be for the most part innocent, delayed the employment of energetic measures to which the Sultan resolved not to have re course except in case of extremity. Before the departure of the Capidgi Baschi, Himmet Aga, who was sent as Muts e li m t o Damascus, till the Governor Hadschi Ali Pacha could set out, Tartars had carried orders to the Cadis and principal inhabitants. The latter have lately sent ad dresses to Constantinople, in which they express their thanks fisr the mildness shown towards them, and their readiness to fulfil the intentions of the Government, by providing for the safety and the wants of the pilgrims. They also represent how much they desire the arrival of the Governor and the Mussul men, whose presenco will completely restore order and tranquil lity. According to a commercial letter from Alexandria, dated Dec. 9, the Viceroy had on that day received the news that St. Jean d'Acre had been taken by his son, Ibrahim Pacha. FROM THE RUSSIAN FRONTIERS, JAN. B.—We have here various reports, none of which, however, I would warrant as authentic. It is said that discontent has manifested itself in Finland, and that the Government has discovered intrigues, ori— ginating in foreign influence, to weaken the loyalty of the popu lation to the Russian throne. No arrests had yet taken place, but several individuals had been marked out by the authorities to be arrested. In other parts of Russia it seems that these measures are the effects of foreign suggestions, and all travellers from France and Italy, especially ecclesiastics, are placed under the superin tendance of the police. In general there is in Russia, especially in the higher classes, a dissatisfaction hitherto unknown; the great burdens resulting from the late wars, and the speedy alle viation of which is not to be expected, may constitute much to this dissatisfaction, and still more the lessons of freedom of the States of Western Europe, with which the doctors have become more acquainted by their frequent intercourse in this country. Forthis reason it seems doubtful that war with France is desired in Petersburgh, as some journals would insinuate ; such are the reports alluded to. Lisbon Gazettes to the 22d instant contain the following : LISBON, Ja r. 15.—We learn fiom the Captain of the 6th Company of the Battalion of Royal Volunteers of the town of Francaso, that when orders were received for that battalion to march to the city of Vizeu, the members of that corps were animated with such enthusiasm that though there was numerous sick or convalescent, all of them except about 12 refused to ac cept the 70 days allowed them to complete their recovery, but Game with their baggage to Vizeu. JAN. 16.—0 n the 12th inst. there were delivered to the com mission created by the General Order of the army, No. 79, an additional sum of 2,693,115 real, received at the General Police_ office from the Corregidor of various districts OPORTO, JAN. 13.—The regiment of militia of the Villa de Conde arrived here yesterday, and was followed to-day by the fine regiment of cavalry of Chavrss. LISBON, JAN. 20.—Yesterday in the presence of the Conde da Louza, Don Diago, the President and Deputies of the Junta of the Royal Loans, and the Delegates of the Bank, proceeded to cancel and annul 22 contos 400,000 reis in 63 bonds of the loan of 2,400 contos of reis made by the bank of Lisbon in the year 1827, being part of the 4,000 comes of reis decreed by the loan of 31st March, same year, while 63 bonds are preserved in the cof fers of the Junta, according to Article 111. of the said law.

Monday is in general a day that we have a great number of ar rivals, it being double post day, but this morning we have only the arrival of a Lisbon mail, which sailed on the 22d inst. No ship-letters have come to hand, and the French mail has not ar rived, consequently we are deprived as yet of continental infor mation. We may expect soon tohearof some fighting in the neighbour hood of Romagna, as it has been officially announced in all parts of the legation of Ravenna, that the Pope's troops were marchin g on Romagna on the 15th, 16th, and 17th inst , and that if they met with any resistance they would be assisted by the Austrians. All the young men have risen en masse, and are proceeding to the frontiers; the population are erecting barricades, and are much exasperated. Letters from Belle Isle of the 15th instant state that all the troops and sailors forming the expedition of Don Pedro are ani mated with the greatest zeal and enthusiasm, and that all the ships are well armed and provisioned, and ie expedition is ex pected to sail on the 4th of February. A third column of the Polish refugees passed through Frank fort on the '2oth of January ; several others were expected, to the number of 600 men. Account■ from Madrid state that a camp is going to be formed at Badajos. Several Spanish corps have already arrived in the environs, to the number of ten thousand men. THE FUNDS, Consols, which left off on Saturday at 82% for Account, opened this morning at the same price, with little doing as yet. The Royal Exchange will not open until after twelve o'clock, owing to the anniversary of the martyrdom of Charles the First. We have no reports or political information. In the Foreign Market there is nothing doing. French mail just arrived. HALF-PAST ONE. The French letters have just been received, and it is said the French Funds are 66f. 10e.

The private letters from Lisbon, by the mail this morning, state that Don Miguel begins to have great suspicion of the per -30213 who surround him, and it is positively stated that his troops of the line will go over to Don Pedro, but the volunteers are staunch to his cause, owing to the influence of the priests. One of Don Miguel's most intimate friends, and who was his chief adviser, called Prior Morde Christo, is dead. It is generally ex pected that on the arrival of Don Pedro at Terceira, the expedi tion, previous to its sailing for Portugal, will make as attempt on Madeira, and if they succeed will get possessions of vast treasures.

We confess we should like to see this power proved by something better than mere assertion. There may be reasons for the de lay, which we are unable to penetrate or to appreciate; all that we can say is that we cannot discover a reason suf ficient to warrant the country being kept i❑ suspense for so long a period on a point of su much importance. It has been said that the Duke of PORTLAND, and forty other Peers who have hitherto supported the Bill, will •ote against it, if new Peers be created. If this be true it is a matter of little moment; and will merely induce the Ministry —if there be really no " hitch" in the way—to extend their creations from 40 to 100. Neither the Duke of PORTLAND, nor any other Duke can prevent Reform ; and he and his tail had better swallow the present pill, bitter as it may be, than wait till one more nauseous to their palates be forced down their throats. It would be monstrous, however, to permit any Lord or set of Loa's whatever, again to defeat the measure, and thus continue the country in its present state of peril and .uncertainty for another twelve months. But this cannot be. . If the boroughmongers be allowed another triumph, their consent to the Bill will not be asked a third time—or we much mistake the temper of the times and the spirit of the peop'e.

There were large arrivals of all kinds of Grain last week, and a moderate return of Flour. This morning there is a fair quantity of Corn fresh up. The Wheat trade is excessively heavy, and none but the finest samples have maintained the quotations of this day se'nnight. Barley for malting has ob. tained last week's prices, but middling qualities are Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper. Beans fully maintain their late rates. Pease of both kinds are dull, but not cheaper. Oats are now so plentiful, that sales cannot be effected without submitting to a reduction of Is. per quarter from the terms of this day se'nnight. Flour remains dull and unaltered in value.

Od- SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 28.-- Having been present at the London meeting of the Southampton Rail way, at the City of London Tavern, on Monday, we can state that there now remains no doubt of this great under taking being fully accomplished. We state. the opinion of many of the most influential of the London merchants, with whom we had a conversation, that in a very short time (probably a very few days only) all the shares will he taken. We, therefore, see nothing which can prevent the Directors going to Parliament with the Bill this ses sion, particularly as an important explanation was made at the meeting as to time.—lt was stated, the usual .notices for a Bill must be given ti the House on the, Pith of February, but that there would be then allowed six weeks 'to prove the necessary qualification of four.fifths of the amount being subscribed.—Hampslare Adt•ertiser. LITERATURE. EDINBURGH REVIEW. No. 108. EDINBURGH. 1832. The most eloquent, the most animated essay in this very superior number, is one entitled " Characteristics," and is suggested by Schlegel's Philosophical Lectures, and Hope's Essays on the Origin and Prospects of Man. In this dis cursive treatise, which in every line bears traces of a master-spirit ; which is bold yet cautious withal ; speculative, yet never wandering beyond the domains of reason ; threading labyrinths, yet not without an Ariadue's clue ; and in which we cannot but fancy that we recognise the masculine and subtle intellect of Lord Brougham, the first part forms a singular contrast to the last. The reviewer sets out with the assertion, that as the truest physical health consists in all the several organs of the body performing their functions unconsciously and in harmony each with the other, no one asserting its separate existence, and making itself felt above another ; so in the social system, that is the healthiest state of so ciety in which all opinions harmonize and blend together for the common good, in which puzzling theories and blighting speculations are unknown, and the mighty machine moves on in a straightforward, unembarrassed course. Assuming this as the test of a healthy social system, the reviewer goes on to show that the present state of society is alto gether the reverse ; that it is a monstrous chaos of contradiction and disorganization, rotten at the core, and containing within itself the seeds of decay and death. That the old harmony and consentaniety of things and principles, thoughts and actions, exist no longer ; for that doubts and " obstinate questionings" are daily at work, in all forms and varieties, to fetter impulse, to reduce the divinity that once stirred within us, to the level of the mechanical, to bind us to the chariot wheels of scepticism, to fill us with horror, mystery, and despair. He traces this spirit through all the ramifications of society ; and concludes with the remark that " the sum of man's misery is even this, that he feels himself crushed under the Juggernaut wheels, and knows that Juggernaut is no divinity, but a dead me chanical idol." The second part of his essay is of a more cheerful complexion. Sick of wading through the slough of despond, the reviewer makes a desperate effort, extricates himself from the mire, and stands again on terra firma. He discovers that though Astrcea has left earth, the rays of her departed glory still linger behind, to inspire—to illumine—to vivify. That. the dawning of an auspicious era, when faith shall once more re sume her old inheritance, and casuistry " skulk back to her old cavern," is at hand ; when the “godlike" in human affairs shall again be visible ; and " the name of the Infinite Good be recog nised as God." The only fault we have to urge against this splendid metaphysical disquisition is, that the first half neutralizes the effect of the last half ; that the two portions are balanced with too much precision, in too sea-saw style ; and that as it sets out with undue despondency, so it concludes with undue sanguine ness. The reviewer begins like a Byron and ends like an Owen. Now the truth lies in the mean ; in neither despairing like the one, nor hoping like the other. God knows the frame-work of society is bad enough—thanks to the systems upon systems, theories upon theories, speculations upon speculations that daily come forth unblushingly to swindle us out of our common sense, and compel us to doubt even the fact of our existence —still there is a redeeming spirit in human nature quite sufficient to work its way and re-establish its own rights. The vessel may be labouring just now because the sea runs high ; but a skilful pilot sits at the helm, and a patch of blue sky peeps out to windward. Besides, troubled waters always run themselves clear. Society throughout the world is now in a state of rapid, unprecedented progress ; there is no more resting on the oars ; all around us is in motion, all pressing forward, though in different ways and with diffe rent degrees of success, to one common goal. Truth and freedom are making their sacred influ ence felt throughout the world. But till the old has become the forgotten (except in history) and the new has sobered down into system, and assumed light and form and harmony, society can not but be disorganized. A state of change is ever a state of fever, of inquietude, and possibly even of danger, when the most monstrous sys tems, whether of religion, politics, morality, or literature are spawned, when even truth is made to look like falsehood, and falsehood like truth ; but these evils cannot be helped ; they but fol lowed the inevitable course of nature, who in the end asserts her rights. " Tour in England by a German Prince," is a smart notice of Prince Puckler IVluskau's late clever volumes of travels. There is much truth in it, but more severity. " External Relations of Portugal" should be read by all who desire to know the exact amount of imbecility with which Lord Aberdeen is blessed as a politi cian and statesman. The article is one of the most cutting exposlv we ever read, full of facts, dealing little in reflection, and adroitly leaving the reader to form his own conclusions. " Southey's Edition of the Pilgrim's Progress" is clever and even brilliant, though not without paradox. We cannot assent to the propriety of these remarks. " In the works of many celebrated authors, men are mere personifications. We have not an Othello but jealousy, not an lago but perfidy, not a Brutus but patriotism. The mind of Bunyan, on the contrary, was so imaginative, that personifications, when he dealt with them, became men:, It is precisely this quality which we all so much admire in Shakspeare ; and if in any two characters he has carried it to a greater extent than any other writer that ever existed, it is in those very two which the reviewer deprecates—his Othello and lago. These two are not mere dead, cold personifica tions, but actual breathing men, full of life, bone, a nd muscl e , w i t h h earts b eat i ng w i t hi n t h e i r r ib s, and passions, such as many can feel, and all under stand. In fact, they are as much life as life itself. This is especially the case with Othello, whose reality of character we all recognize; the workings of whose mind are as much matters of history, as those of Czsar whtni he halted at the Rubicon, or Anthony when he resigned the empire of the world for Cleopatra. Zanga indeed is a per sonification. Not so Othello. The one is a long, methodical description of a passion, the other is the man himself on whom such passion operates. The same remark applies to lago. Surely he is no tame, lifeless personification Brutus we give up. He, perhaps, is really and truly an essay upon patriotism, but this is in- separable from the nature of the somewhat vague and intellectual quality he represents. With the reviewer's remarks on Bunyan we cordially agree. The " Pilgrim's Progress" is indeed one of the most surprising books—inter mille millesimus—ever penned. It stands alone in unapproachable excellence of design and execu tion. Nothing is like it : nothing even affects to be like it. The age must be remo delled, the current forms of literature become wholly extinct, before we can have another Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair, or Passage across the Chill Waters that lead to the Wicket gate. Bunyan's master-piece is a work that has communicated delight and instruction to mil lions. Children have read it as an interesting narrative ; men as a fine moral homily. It ex cites equally the sympathy of all ages, of all classes, and is as intelligible in the heart of Africa, or among the Red Indians of America, as in the more civilised climes of Europe. The moral it conveys, though lofty, is familiar, and of universal application ; and the narrative as much a matter of truth as Robinson Crusoe or Fielding's Prose Epics. " Sir Thomas Lawrence," as a criticism, makes no pretension to originality, but is read able, and not too eulogistic. " English Uni versities, Oxford," is laboured, but not in vain ; and " Lord Nugent's Memorials of Hamp den" is a generous eloquent testimony to the memory of one of the most sterling patriots that England has yet seen. In those com paratively primitive days, patriotism was the vir tue itself, not the assumption of it. Men acted then, they talk now. On the whole, we con sider the present number of the Edinburgh Re view the best we have seen for months. COURT CIRCULAR. A Cabinet Council was held at two o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, which was attended by the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Earl GREY, Lord DURHAM, Viscounts MELBOURNE, PA L MERSTON, GODERICH, and ALTHORP, the Earl of CAR LISLE, the Right Hon. CHARLES GRANT, Lord HOLLAND, the Duke of RICHMOND, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM. The Council sat in deliberation till half-past five o'clock. Divine service was performed yesterday before the Duchess of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA, and their Royal Highnesses' household, by Archdeacon POTT. At the grand dinner given to the Duke of SUSSEX nn his birthday at Freemasons'-ball, on Friday, Sir GEORGE SMART, as Grand Organist, conducted the music, and wore for the first time the g,,ld coronation medal and his uniform, as conductor of the Queen's private concerts. A deputation of silk-manufacturers, headed by Alder man VENABLES, attended at the Treasury on Saturday, and had a conference with Viscount ALTHORP. Prince TALLEYRAND, the French Ambassador, had an interview with Viscount PALMERSTON on Saturday at the Foreign-office. The LORD CHANCELLOR visited Earl GREY on Satur day, at the Treasury. Viscount ALTHORP gave a grand dinner to a party of Members of the House of Commons an Saturday evening. at his residence in Downing-street. Among the party were Sir JAMES WILLIAMS, Mr. C. WOOD, Mr. Wcs. TERN, Mr. GEORGE VERNON, Mr. PATRICK STEWART, Mr. SANFORD, Mr. MILBANK, Mr. GALLY KNIGHT, Mr. W. Howaitn, Mr. LAROUCHERE, Mr. MILLS, and Mr. THOMPSON. BRIGHTON, JAN. 29. Their MAJEsTiEs, her Royal Highness the Princes, AuctusTA, Prince George of CAT , IHRIDGE, the Princes LOUISE, and the Royal Suite, heard divine service this morning in the Palace Chapel; the officiating clergymen were the Rev. Mr. WAcm and the Rev. Dr. EVERARD the former read prayers, and the latter preached an exceL lent sermon. His MAJESTY gave audience to the 'Marquis of LoN• DONDERRY. In the evening their MAJ Emits entertained at dinner the following persons :—The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, the Marquis of BRISTOL, the Ladies MURRAY, Lord A. Iliza.vEY, Colonel BROTHERTON, Mr. and Lady JANE PEaL, and the Royal Suite and Household. Names were left at the Palace by the Right Hon. Sir ROBERT GORDON, Sir JAMES, Lady, and Miss LOTDF:. Col. Sir THOMAS DOWNMAN, Captain TREL•WNEY, Marchioness of HASTINGS, Ladies HASTINGS, Lieut.-Col. and Mrs. DAWSON DAMER, Lady C. BARHAM, Sir T BATHURST, Major-General Sir THOMAS M‘MAIION, the Misses BYRNE, Lord WHARNCLIFFE, Lady ANNA M. ELLIOT, and the Earl and Countess KINNOUL. Lords ERROL and FALKLAND returned to the Palace this evening from London. Yesterday their MAJESTIES took an airing to near Rot tingdean in a carriage and four, with two outriders, and back to the Palace. The Marchioness of CIIOLMONDELEY, Lord HILL, and Mise BENTINCK, had the honour of dining last evenine with their MAJESTIES. The QUEEN'S band attended. Mr. KEATE arrived last evening from London. Their MAJESTIES continue in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits. The calls yesterday at the Palace were very numerous. We have only left ourselves time to refer, thus briefly to the speech on Monday evening, of the Noble Recreant, who represents in the House of Commons the Tory interest of Liverpool. In votirg against Ministers in an important division on the Reform Bill, his Lordship has set most bravely at defiance his oft repeated pledges to the electors of Liverpool ; but he has not the lets truly verified our expectations, we may say our predictions re pecting him. His Lordship certainly has not surprised. he has hardly disappointed us. His vacillating conduct ut the last election fully prepared us for this degree of apostscy. He has long been coqueting with the Anti., and in spite of the Chancellor's eulogy, we should not greatly wonder to see him leap into their arms at last? Woos verrons.—Liverpool Chronicle. THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE IN DANGER.- A singular circumstance occurred the week before last to the Duke of NEWCASTLE, at his seat, Cluttbsr Hall, which has not been noticed by any of contemporaries. His Grace, the public are aware, has fortified his seat with cannon on the top, where the men, with lighted matches, relieve each other night and day. A strong piquet is kept constantly on duty, and they sleep on guard beds as in a fortified garrison, and a man is stationed at each gun. They have the best of the land to live on, and, as may be supposed, are not all of them subscribers to and supporters of the Temperance Society. His Grace was returning home in a post chaise, totally unexpected by the family, and without any previous signal, when one of the sentinels on the top, who it is supposed was inebriated, was shout to apply his match to the gun which commantl,ed the grand entrance, and which would have blown his master is atoms. Happily for the Duke he was prevented so doing by his comrade, who in an instant pushed him aside. The shock was so great that his Grace did not sleep for the two following nights. Since that time the outer park gates have been guarded, and no person can pass without the pass-word, which is repeated three times before arriving at the Hall. We have received a vast number of letters, for which we cannot find room, respecting the Scotch dinner,,—or, as it is otherwise called (by way of joke, we s uppose,) the Scottish Literary Festival. There is one question, however, in which all our correspondents join, and which we think the stewards are bound to answer,— What is the amount of the surplus,—who has got it,— and what is to be done with it ?—TiorY. ST. SAVIOUR'S CHURCH. On Saturday last a public meeting. was held (pulauant to advertisement) at the cemasons' Tavern. Mr. SAUNDIRS addressed the meeting. He apologised for taking so active and prominent a part; but his soli citude for the interest and character of the borough of Southwark, and the love he had for every thing dear to the country, were his justificatio❑ for the exertions he made to rescue that splendid relic of ancient architecture from destruction.—(Hear, hear.) However, he stood not alone. There were a few generous and high-minded spirits who co-operated with him.—(Cheers.) The Mar quis of Lansdowne was requested to preside at the meet • ing, and stated that he was fully aware of the beauty and antiquity of the building, and deeply sensible of the pro priety of preserving it, and expressed his extreme regret that &nether engagement prevented him from attending the meeting.—(Cheers.) Mr. Saunders then proposed that Arthur Pott, Esq. barrister, should take the Chair. Mr. PAYNTIR, barrister, said, the magnificent !trues tore which a few now sought to sweep away, reflected a glory on the borough of Southwark, and why should the parish of St. Saviour register it own shame, and perpe trate, by the demolition of the chapel, a suicidal deed of never-dying infamy. _.(Hear.) It shed a halo round the metropolis, and would not the citizens rally round that venerable fabric? He knew they would.—(Cheers.) If a stranger, learned in the arts and admiring the works of genius, were to visit this vast metropolis, and view that edifice so famed for its beauty, and magnificent in its simplicity, after his first emotion of rapture had died away, the second feeling that would arise would be that the parish was proud of so noble an object, and would watch over its preservation with jealousy and care. But what would not be his stupefaction and horror if he at. ;ended the vestry meeting, and heard the barbarian yells that were raised against it ?—(Great cheers.) These yells, it was true, were raised by a few who were swayed by I their own interests, and deluded a few of the poor and the ignorant. Yet there had been a blot burned into the character of the parish, and lie hoped it would yet undo the evil that it hail nearly done. He did not imagine there was one part of the city so sunk in barbarism, so dead to elegance, so unvisited by one ray of improvement, as to entertain the foul and monstrous proposition of demolish ing a structure that outrivals iu beauty most of the works of ancient and modern times..—(Cheers.) The parish should recollect that it was endeared to them by old and honourable associations. When Henry VIII. laid hie grasp on all the religious edifices of the country, the parish of St. Saviour, with a noble zeal, came forward and purchased their church. It was said that the pro position of destroying the chapel emanated from the Lon don-bridge Committee. He could never believe that the public guardians of so noble a monument as that bridge could seriously evince such an utter want of decency and taste—such an instance of modern vandalism—cowd pro claim themselves such barbarians and fanatics as to pros trate one of the finest productions of genius and art that the empire could boast of.—(Cheers.) The men who ad vocated the dilapidation of the chapel acted in their proper character. Their ledger was their sole book of knowledge. Their selfish and sordid views were conined to the count ing-house. Could mesa who had not the natural percep tion of sounds judge the melody of music? Could the jaundiced rye see the beauty of colours ?—.(Cheers.) tie would call on the meeting by their respect for the ♦irtues of the mighty dead,—lay the love of their institutions of the country,—by their admiration of genius, --by their anxiety for the honour and reputation of their country,.— by their attachment to justice, and their scorn of calcu listing and griping selfishness, vigorously to defeat the machinations of those spoliators.—(Loud cheering.) The Hon. Gentleman moved a resolution, expressivesi of the propriety of preserving the ancient relics of architecture now remaining in the country. Mr. FARMER seconded the motion. Mr. Carrnrcuam, architect, who war engaged in the restoration of various cathedrals, and some of the finest ecclesiastical edifice, of the country, entered into a long and learned dissertation of the antiquities and beauty of the building. He moved a resolution in praise of " our Lady Chapel." Mr. SWv.aca, architect, dwelt on the advantage of preset ring the chapel, even as a model for students in archi tecture ; and showed its points of superiority over the celebrated Temple church, which was of more modern date. Mr. SA UNDERS said that the presence of such a vast number of the respectable parishioners of St. Saviour's at the meeting was a triumphant refutation of the assertion that the parish was favourable to the destruction of the chapel. The respectability of the parish was decidedly op. posed to it. Mr. Locire said the subject was enough to rouse every one who took an interest in the honour and glory of the country. It was not a question that merely affected the parish, it belonged to the empire. A prejudice was in dustriously propagated by a party. It was weessary that on Tuesday, when the final battle would lee fought at the vestry meeting, that the friends of the measure of preser vation should go before the parishioners and show them that the public would support them.—(Hear, hear.) The Hun. Gentleman moved that a subscription be set on foot to forward the object of the meeting. Mr. WALLACE, Mr. Szu.s, and Mr. At,rric severally addressed the meeting. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR said, that if the London-bridge Committee ever had (which he did not believe) made the demolition of the chapel a condition of their proposition, they now retracted it. Mr. F. ROBINSON moved the following resolution : " That the warmest thanks of this meeting be given to the Lord Bishop of the diocese of Winchester, for refusing his assent to the demolition of the " Chapel of our Lady," on the incontrovertible ground that there is ueither.public nor private necessity for the same; and that the noble subscription which he has offered towards its restoration must endear !m to every friend of science and literature in the kingdom." Mr. SYDNEY TAYLOR seconded the resolution. Mr. G. WOODFALL moved the following resolution:— " That the thanks of this meeting be given to the public press for the able and efficient manner in which it has ad vocated the restoration of the ' Chapel of our Lady,' be longing to the church of St. Saviour's, Southwark ; and it is hereby earnestly requested to continue its exertions in the same cause, and thereby prevent the aceotnplishtnent of a project which will deprive the metropolis of one of its most beautiful ornaments, awl the borough of Southwark of one of its proudest boasts." Mr. J. B. NICHOLS moved, and Mr. ETTY, R.A., se conded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Saunders for his exertions in this matter.—Carried by acclamation, and the meeting separated. We may net at present enter at any length upon a subject of the highest importance as regards the succession to the Crown of these realms; but we may venture to state, that there is every probability to believe, that the country will yet be blessed with an heir apparent to the Throne,--John 11u11.—[We may venture to state that this is another of the false reports got up for certain po litical purposes; but it won't do—the Peers will be made notwithstanding.—En, Suw.] We are informed Mr. NATHANIEL W: SYMONii, agent to the Rotterdam Steunk Company, has been appointed Secret:ay to the General Ship Owners' Society. LIVERPOOL AND BIRMINGHAM RAlL way.--The adjourned general meeting of the subscribers to this undertaking was held at the Clarendon Rooms, on Wednesday last, J. Moss, Esq. in the Grain A report on the state and prospects of the Company was read by Mr. CLAY. It stated, that according to the most moderate computation, the railway is likely to yield a profit of 11 per cent. on the capital expended in its formation, and that a sufficient number of shares to enable the Cam pany to go to Parliament mit Session, has already been subscribed for. The propriety of then applying for an Act, or deferring it till the succeeding Session, however, left to the decision of the Committee. A Com mittee of twelve gentlemen belonginz to Liverpool and Birmingham to manage the general alnirs of the Com pany, and superintend the formation of the new line, was appointed. The line now proposed will for in a con tinuation of the Liverpool and Manchester railway, from Warrington to Birmingham, and it is estimated that by this tkrrhngement, which must be highly advantegeous to ald parties, an expenditure of at least half a million ster ling will be saved. Is was resolved that the subscriptions now due should be paid up by the Sri of February, and that persons holding shares shall be allowed to increase the number one-half, on paying the sum of 2/. Ss, per share- Tbe statements made appeared to be perfectly satisfactory to the shareholders, and they separated with the beet hopes as to the successful completion of this truly important u ndertaking. —.Liverpool Chronicle.
