TUI E COMMITTEE for Conductin g Mr. LUBBOCK'S ELECTION s it d a ily at th e TISH COFFEE-HOUSE. Cockspor-arreet. J. G. SHAW LEFEVRE, Esq., in the Chair. LOA DON, FRIDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 30, 1832. The Marquis of PALMELLA'S mission to this country relates chiefly to an application to Lord PALMERSTON, founded on some new and jolportant circumstances on a recognition of the Regency ; but he has also authority from the EMPEROR to effect arrangements for placing his army in a condition to act upon the offensive. The Marquis has likewise received instructions to solicit the friendly intervention of the French cabinet towards hastening the termination of the contest in Portugal. We understand that no official account has h eel) received at the Belgian Embassy of the re signation of the Belgian Ministry. Should I t , however, have occurred in the way related by the Brussels Correspondents of the Morning Papers it is not at all probable that the KING try the hazardous experiment of a new Ca "et in the present excited state of the country, c hosen, as it must be, from the Catholic, or Ile- Publican party, there being no men of note and Influence of the moderate constitutional party, who are not either of the present Cabinet or so connected with ittgat their support may be fully leekoned upon by the Government. In fact, the 410ption of the amendment of M. DUMONT is ' lo t a defeat of the Ministry. This amend -111"t is less hostile than the paragraph of I the commission for which it was instituted ; but t'hether or not, the question is by no means 1311clusive as regards the Ministry. Of the 102 ! ective Memb ers , on l y 86 were p resen t. Four . h r five elections were going on ; one Deputy, ' BARTELEMY, is dead, and there remains or 12 who may come forward on the Appel "ontinal, and vote for the Government on the Ire address. Besides, the Senate, in its ad reM to the KING, has already approved of the ' l leY of the Cabinet, and consequently its refor- I tion is quite unnecessary. Col. DODGIN, one of the oldest officers of British service, and two other officers of' 4 k and high reputation, have offered their vices to Don PEDRO. BOWRING has returned from Paris. e hear that h e i s w e ll satisfied with the dis. u4 ' ti ° l l manifested by the French Cabine l?la tcls the proposed new commercial arrange. public mi n d, a f ter b usy i ng it se lf with a : 4 3and political topics, is at length beginning l e "fine its energies and speculations to that , °I all i m p or t an t po i nts , t h e election of Nbers for the Reformed Parliament. In t er ) ? town and county, as we gather from the 4111 tial Journals, candidates and their consti ets are on the alert. The Tory faction is t han ever vigilant, though it works like the :m mole, in sec rec y an d d ar k ness , an d is r d noticed, except f rom t h e di rt, i n t h e 'Pe of abuse, that it now and then throws up. til ts party flatter itself that it is likely to 14 ess even a shred of influence in a future )ti se of Commons, the sooner it dismisses such elusion the better. Even its new title of onservative,- notwithstanding the plausi tY of the title, will scarcely gain it an extra '; for a Conservative is but a re-baptized t Y, with the leave of the old Adam still cling ► about him as tenaciously as ever. The il try knows this full well, and will. put forth ,'):energy to paralyze the futur e mac hi nat i ons o f 'faction. It is lucky that the Tories have got up The French Papers of Wednesday have been received, but they do not contain any news re specting the operations of the army before Ant w•erp. The Address of the Chamber of Deputies was under discussion and fully expected to be carried. We have given extracts in another column. Montreal Papers to the 4th of November, and Port-au-Prince to the 22d of October, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Montreal Papers state, that the weather has been. for some days more severe than usual at this early period of the winter. On Friday night, there was a sharp frost, and on Saturday, a great deal of' snow fell, which continued, and the whole of the country had a most winterly appearance. A meeting was to be held, for the purpose of preparing an Address to his MAJESTY, on the present state of the Province. 'F he Port-au-Prince Papers do not contain any information. New York Papers have been received up to the 9th instant. The election of the President was not yet brought to a close, but there was every appearance of General JACKSON being continued in that high office. In the States of Pennsylvania and New York, he had obtained great majorities. The papers contain no other news of interest on this side of the Atlantic. We direct attention to some further infamous edicts issued by the " miscreant" CZAR, the Nero of the North, against the decimated Poles, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The rising tide of pauperism, which has long since swept away all signs of comfort and happi ness among the labouring population of the southern counties, and which will soon over whelm the middling class of farmers and land lords, where it has not already done so, pro nises, as Colonel THOMPSON justly observes in his Catechism of the Corn Laws, at least to have the good effect of ultimately showing the corn growing monopolists the futility of their attempts to fill their pockets at the expense of the classes upon whose prosperity they are ab solutely dependent. We fear, however, that the promise is of slow performance, for although they cannot fail in the long run to discover that they are destroying the source of their golden profits, nearly all the recent publications of their advo cates show almost as great blindness as ever. The Poor Laws are now charged with being the cause, and the sole cause, of the distress felt by the agriculturists. We have often raised our humble voice against them as the source of misery and wretchedness to those for whose benefit they were passed, but there cannot be a doubt that their natural ill effects are greatly aggravated by the indirect operation of the Corn Laws. To acknowledge this, however, would be a pill too bitter for the wise men who attempt to regu late the price of food and labour to swallow, and accordingly we have forwarded to us plans without number for abating the evils of the Poor Laws, which carefully avoid any reference to the attempted monopoly of corn as connected with those evils. The latest publication upon this subject is entitled " A Plan for Relieving the pressure of the Poor Rates, and affording employment to the Agricultural Poor," and is pretended to be written by a solicitor. The line of argument, however, adopted by the writer, no less than his exclusive title show him to be connected or interested in land rather than in law. A few extracts will enable our readers to judge whether our conjecture be correct. After dilating upon the miserable state of the labouring population, which wanted no proof at all, and the severity with which the poor-rate presses upon the landowners, the writer, (speaking as if it it were paid by no one else), asserts that all would be well if the farmers could be en abled to employ the labourers, for whom no profitable labour now exists, upon the waste lands of the kingdom. No doubt that all would be well if that state of things could be brought about naturally, but how does our friend, the solicitor, propose to bring it about ? Will our readers believe that he proposes to take a few millions from the ge neral taxes of the country, and pay them to the parish-officer s through the medium of the ex cise collectors. Take his own words for the effects to be produced by this notable scheme : " The advantages that would result from the measure cannot be too highly appreciated. Agriculture would rear its head, and the trade and commerce of the king dom would soon feel the vivifying effects , of its prosperity. Au increased demand for libour would arise; new lands would be brought into tillage, and au addition made to the produce of the country, which, judging from the average amount of the importation of late years, would render us independent of foreign supplies." exclude F ore i gn C orn. Ay, there's the rub, There is something candid in the plan of directly paying to the landowners so much per annum, and it would meet with a greater share of our approbation than the attempt at doing it indirectly by means of a Corn Law, did we imagine that the price of Corn would be reduced thereby. B ut we are satisfied that our worthy landlords would still get as high a price as they could, and that the effect of the country maintaining their in arm poor would be simply to relieve them from that charge, and after a time to increase the weight of the poor's rate generally, by the stimulus that would be given to pauper population. In deed, the increase of pauperism is the whole end their European war-cry (they call themselves, if we mistake not, the peace party) just at a e present moment, for the hypocritical howl will be set ringing freshly in the ears of their-con stituents, when the Tory candidates mount the hustings, to promise, wheedle, explain, and so forth. If nothing else availed to do so, the Dutch business alone would, we are quite sure, be sufficient to blight the lasi electioneering hopes of the faction. The German Papers, received this morning, contain only an article from Constantinople re lative to a mission from the Porte to this country, to solicit aid in its present struggle with the Paella of EGYPT. The article will be found under the head of French Papers. the writer would twin to hate in view, for all plans are direct premiums upon improvi dence. For instance, he quotes Mr. BACON'S evidence before the House of Lords : ", Supp -.se two men, one single and the other married, with from five to seven children come into the labour market. With the same wages the single man will have a comfortable subsistence, while the mats with a large family must have relief, and it is not to he expected that a farmer should pay the one more than the other. Then comes the question how the maintenance of their families is to be gotten rid of? I think the only aid is the assistance of small portions of land under such conditions as may enable the married labourer to earn the necessary subsistenc e for hitaiself and family.' " I entirely agree with Mr. Bacon. Relief by occupation of land should at all times be preferred to pecuniary assistance, and when an advance of money becomes indispensable, it should be given by way of loan under the 59th Geo. III." • Here the married labourer is to be put i❑ a situation of greater comfort than the single one ; the only difference between the present plan and that proposed being, that the encou ragement is given in the shape of land in- stead of money. Does not, or will not, the author see, that unless the situation of a man not entirely dependent upon his own exertions be made infinitely worse than that of a man who does, a premium is held out to idleness and improvidence ? Let him suppose all hi plans successful to his heart's content, and the labouring poor in full profitable employ ment, does he imagine that whilst they can fall back upon the labour of others, they will not go on increasing and multiplying till, in a few years, we again find ourselves in precisely the same predicament as at present ? Instead of proposing grants from the public Treasury, let him, in conjunction with any plan for the temporary and immediate relief of the poor, propose the abolition of the poor laws, and teach the labouring population to depend upon their own exertions and forethought. That it must come to this there can be no doubt, and the only question is, whether it should he done now, that there still exists a large middle class with independent feelings, or whether we shall wait till its grades be -suc cessively merged in the mass of pauperism which it now support.

OPORTO, Nov. 17.—The weather has become fine, and some vessels, with troops and ammunition for Dim Pedro, are aff port, but they cannot come in, owing to the battery constructed by Don 'Miguel's troops, opposite the arsenal. Indeed no pilot would go out to bring them in. The George, of Plymouth, from Smyrna to Amster dam, which was detained at Plymouth, and liberated, arrived in the Downs yesterday, and was advised by Sir Pulteney 'Malcolm to remain, as his cruisers would not allow her to enter any port in Holland. The London Merchant, after waiting two days, with the Marquis of Pahnella and suite on board, for smoother water on the bar, and having Government despatches of great importance on board, besides the Marquis's anxiety to get to England, finding that no pilot would venture to sea, Captain Belcher, of his Majesty's ship Etna, was kind nough to off.r Captain Penlerrick the assistance of his second Lieutenant, who has lately been employed sound ing on the bar ; so that on Thursday morning, the 22d m i s n u s or : f . t , upfa a oi t nth 2 ftthile a.m., th e L on d on M erc h an t l e f t O por t o , an d with some difficulty got to sea, there being a tr e me n d ous j . ,9,) H ,,: v s i g n u g ad de ro sp n a . m t h h e e s on Lo n l d m o a n r d m for ereh her an t same e t ienveannidng.

At 4 F.M. the same day the steamer left Vigo for England, end arrived at Blackwall this (29th) day, at 2 P.M., where she landed the Marquis and suite in good health, after experiencing nothing but gales of wind from the time they left Oporto. , ARBROATH.—During the strong gale from the south-east on Saturday se'rmight, wh, n the Maria, London trader, then near Yarmouth Roads, was running north, about seven in the evening, a young man named SCOTT was thrown overboard by the block of the jib hal yards striking him. The ship was under her foresale alone, and, the sea rolling heavily at the time, it was impossible even to attempt saving his life. This is the third and last son the father of the lad has had consigned to the bosom of the deep.—Scotch Paper. A celebrated jeweller has, it is said, been lately plundered by a confidential servant to the extent of many thousand pounds, but has declined prosecuting the thief. ARCHERY GROUND IN THE REGENT'S Palm —The Commissioners of Woods and Forests have, withi❑ these few weeks, let a large piece of land in the Regent's Park, between York-terrace and JENKINS'S ma eery-ground, for an archery-ground, consisting of five acres. A great number of workmen have already com menced erecting a high turf barrier fur the butts. Several plantations are being cleared away, and the land levelled, for the purpose of laying out gravel-walks, new shrub beries, &c. ; anu two or three houses are to be erected for the accommodation of the subscribers. The approach will be over the bridge fronting St. Marylebone ne.v church. The entrance gates are to be superb. Saturday night, as the Waterford mail-coach was passing between Black Wrath and Ralliiore, the coachman perceived some bulk upon the road, upon which he (with some of the passengers) alighted, and found the body of a man who appeared to them to have teen just murdered. They alarmed the police at 'the next station, who immediately went to the place, and on their way or rested three men on suspicion, whom they found with a horse and car on th , Carlow Post. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.; IN THE MATTER OF HEATH, A BANKRUPT. Mr. RUSSELL obtained leave to mention this matter again to-day. He hel l in his hand an affidavit stating, that notwithstanding the injunction hat been obtained on N , Vednesday, no affidavit was filed yesterday at eleven o'clock, nor any bill entered at the same hour, in the Six Clerks' book, the proper place for it. A bill, however, now appeared t'a have been filed some time or other, and the other side had got a certificate from the Six Clerks, dated on Wednesday, of a bill having been filed. The Loan CHANCELLOR rather thought, from the in quiries he had made; a bill had been filed at the time the application was made to the Court; but that the entry had not been made in the Six Clerks' book. He inclined to think that it was not sufficient for Mr. Russell's client to have rested contented with merely searching the Six Clerks' book—he ought to have gone also to the Record, and searched it. At the same time lie was strong entaieh on the ground that the affidavit had not been filed when the motion was made. Mr. RUSSELL, though satisfied with this, yet desired to bring a very extraordinary circumstance to the notice of the Court. Nowithstanding the motion that was dis cussed at great length before his Lordship yesterday to commit a party and his solicitor for publishing a caution to the public against buying goods of a person who had !Ten restrained by injunction from parting with them, yet, in the Times newspaper, published this day, there wa•, in reference to what passed in the matter of Heath yesterday, an advertisement cautioning all persons not to take the bill of exchange, the circulation of which had been Sought to be restrained on Wednesday, although his Lord ship had declared yesterday no order was to be considered as having been made. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that it was quite unnecessary to go into that, because he had stated, as be now repeated, that the injunction was issued. POWIS V. HUNTER. This was a motion moved yesterday by Sir Edward Sugden on behalf of the defendant, Mr. J tales Hunter, jun., for an order to commit the plaintiff in the cause, Mr. Benjamin Powis, and his solicitors Messrs. Kersey and Hughes, for printing, publishing, and posting in va rious public places, a hand-bill, stating that an injunc tion had issue.l to restrain Mr. Hunter from parting with certain goods that had been consigned to him from Singapore, and cautioning the public not to buy of him, without satis'ying themselves of the manner in which Mr. 11. had become possessed of them, as well as of his authority to sell. This, the Learned Counsel contended, was a gross perversion of the proceed. ings of this Court, and amounted to a contempt. As re garded Mr. Kersey, it appeared, upon his own showing, that he had personally had nothing to do either in obtain ing the ex-parte injunction, or in the publishing of the handbills, having been at the time absent from London hut Mr. Hughes acknowled;:ed that he had corrected the proof-sheet of the bill, and Mr. Powis admitted he bad ordered the printing, and assisted in making the publics. tion. O► their guilt, therefore, there could be no doubt. Mr. ANDERDON followed on the same side. Mr. KNIGHT and Mr. Humus opposed the motion, on behalf of Mr. Powis. They argued that what had been done had only been a furtherance of the proceedings of the Court, that it did not even savour of a contempt, and that their client bad acted exactly as they would have advised him to have done had he consulted them before he bad done so. Mr. Hunter was a bankrupt in 1829—n0 dividend was paid under his commission. He had also, at the latter end of last year compounded with his cre ditors, and every necessity existed to take every possible step to save the property which had got into his hands. Mr. BEANS, this morning, appeared for Messrs. Kersey and Hughes. The motion having been abandoned as re garded Mr. Kersey, his learned counsel's observations were confined to the situation in which Mr. Hughes stood. Mr. H. was applied to by his client for advice. The client stated his conviction that the fief ndant intended to break the injunction, and the solicitor advised him to do what he did, as the only means of preventing the violation and the loss of the property. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed that however li bellous (if libel it was at all) it might he, yet he did not very well understand how it could he called a contempt of the proceed ore of this Court. Further, he was far from saying that a solicitor who advised his client to pub lish a libel, or to commit a felony or a misdemeanour, was not equally guilty with the individual who had actually committed the offence under such advice. Mr. BEA:is contended, at great le• gth, that neither legally nor morally had his client done wrong. 51r. - followed on the same side. The opinion of the Bar was against the idea of its being possible for the Court to come to a decision that what had been done in this c,use was a contempt. Was it not the daily practice to report and publish to the world the proceedings of this Court, and notice almost every injunction that was granted, nearly the instant the older was directed to issue? and had any person ever heard of an application to commit the printer or publisher of a newspaper for doing so? The opinion of the country, therefore, was, that the law was not that a man could be com mitted for publishing the proceedings of this Court. As regarded waste also, it was not only the practice to serve the injunction on a person who was about to cut down ornamental timb-r, but to post notice of the injunction having issued around the premises, and throughout the neighbourhood in which the wood was. Again, with re gard to a piracy, there was no other way by wt.ich a pub- lisher could be protected from the continuation 01 a piracy after the granting of an injunction, except by the publication to the world that such an injunction had been granted. Under such circumstances the L-arned Counsel hoped the present motion would be dismissed with costa. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN replied. He hoped, should his Lordship commit in this case, he would not measure the period of confinepnent by the length of the speeches th it had been addressed to the Court by the other side. A greater strain of abuse he had never heard ad- dressed no - the Court at any time than had been addressed in this case by Mr. Knight. Mr. Knight had called his (Sir Edward Sugden's) client a swindler and a robber, and had indulged in more declamation in this ease than Sir Edward had ever heard before come from even the individual resorting to it. No doubt he had acted according to his instructions—if so, more in- famous instructions had never been given. If Counsel were to embark in the use of such language, it would only be necesary for them to get a " Slang Dic tionary," and instead of addres.ing themselves coolly and properly to facts and to the law, they would have to vie with each other in the adoption of abusive and most improper words. It had been inquited whetherit had ever been heard that the report in a newspaper of the issu ing of ex-parte injunctions was contempt ? Lord Eldos, in Deacon v. Deacon, repored in " Russell's Reports," bad distinctly said, that when he first entered Westminster Hall, no man could be found wh o wo u ld ha ve d en i e d it was a contempt; and if it was the law once, he knew nut when or how it had been altered ; at the same time, he could not take notice of such a publication un less regularly brought before him. He (Sir Ed ward), however, did not stand up to advocate the prosecution of the Press, for the publicatio❑ of the pro ceedings here ; at the same time, they were Lot to be guided by newspapers (although the Press would always exercise a whol• some control over judicial proceedings, and see that justice was properly and impartially admi nistered), but by the rules of law, which had been handed down by the most competent of Judges. The Learned Counsel, though he condemned long speeches on the part of others, was by no means short in his own reply. He brought forward many dicta, to show that what had been done was a contempt, and adverted strongly on the improper conduct of the parties who had circulated the handbill, that had been extremely injurious to his client. lhe LORI) CHANCELLOR did not think, upon the best consideration he could give to the arguments he had herrd, that this was a contempt. He dismissed the motion therefore. Mr. Kersey he ordered to have his costs; but reserved the costs of Mr. Powis and of Mr. Hughes, until after the motion was heard, notice of which had been given, to dissolve the injunction. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) NOEL V. DAVIS AND OTHERS. This case, which is of no importance except to the parties concerned, was proceeding when our reporter left. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) COURT 01RENIEW. EX-PARTE WOOD IN RE WOOD. Mr. W ir.cocxs applied to the Court for its opinion under the following circumstances :—The bankrupt hi.d called his creditors together in August 1831, and proposed a corn. position of 10 s . i n the pound to them, which the majority accepted. The deed was executed in the next month, and the first instalment of 5.. psid. In October a commis. sion was sued out founded on an act of bankruptcy committed in June. The question was whether the parties who had received ss. in the pound were to retain it, and prove for 155., or were to refuse it, and prove for the whole of their debts. Mr. Rictianns, for the assignees, baying consented to , bide by the decision of the Court, which had not juris rrerion in the matter, Their HONOURS said they were of op;nion that thvse , Teditors who had received 59. in the pound were entitled, under all the circumstances, to retain it, COURT OF COMMISSIONERS. OIVEN'S BANKRUPTCY A meeting_ of the creditors for the final examination of the bankrupt Owen, who had carried on the businv.a of bookseller, in Little Bell-alley, Coleman -street, took plac before Mr. Commissioner Merivale, at two o'clock this day. Mr. TAYLOR, the s elicitor under the commission, ex I mined the bankrupt very strictly as to several of the item.. on his balance-sheet, in which were many apparent most exorbitant charges, among which expenses to France Lane Margate, 130/. , and 750/. for the expenses of the bmkrupt's town house, and several others which appeared to give great dissatisfaction to the creditors. The bankrupt admitted that al•nost every entry on th balance sheet was made from memory, that he had kept no books previous to May last ; and that some were made from documents which he could produce if given time. Mr. Commissioner MERIVALE said, that it was utterly impossible he could pass the bankrupt's last examination till vouchers were produced, fir as the balance-sheet stood at present, it was formed by guesses and surmises, whicl, would not do for him. The charge of 40 guineas a-year rbr the schooling of his son, a bay, nine years of age, must be explained. He would, therefore, adjourn the exa mination for a fortnight; and if it appeared that Mr. Owen had been neglectful in procuring vouchers for the dif ferent items in his schedule, he should consider it his duty to adjourn the examination sine die.

John Bray, a respectable looking young man, was in dicted for stealing a check for 411. 13.. 4d. upon Messrs. Coutts and Co., the property of Basil Jackson, from the dwelling-house of John Hodge. The prisoner, it appeared, had occasionally been em ployed by a traveller, in the house of Spalding and C 0.., wholesale station e r s , t o w h ose h ouse h e h a d access and op. portunities of knowing where property was kept. The check in question had been given to the care of that traveller, who placed it in a desk, that was occasionally unlocked. At last it was missed, and on the day it was missed the prisoner presented the check for payment at niers. Coons and Co.'s. Some suspicion was excited in the mind of the clerk that he hail not come by the check honestly, a..d he was detained until an inquiry was made. The result of that inquiry proved that the check had been st len. The prisoner, on being required to account for the posses. sion of it, said he bad found it lying in Messrs. Spalding's warehouse. He was given into the custody of Mr. Thomas, the Superintendent of Police, and be expressed great sorrow for what he bad done. The prisoner called no witnesses, and said it was his first off,nce, and he hoped the Court would be merciful to him. _The Jury found bum Guilty. The prosecutor recommended him to mercy, on the ground that this was his first offence, and that his family were in exceedingly great digress. Mr. Baron BOLLAND said, the recommendation should be forwarded to a proper quarter. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. A great mass of intelligence has been received, both from Belgium and Oporto, but not of a decisive nature. Toe most important information is the resignation of the Belgian Ministers, they having met with a decided opposi tion in the &Ivan Chambers, hut we understand that King Leopold will not accept their resignation, and prefers dissolving the: Chambers, to prevent all further cab,' during the operations against the citadel of Antwerp. The King of Holland was well informed of the decided rancour of the Belgians against the French army enterine Belgium, and, no doubt, he bad hopes that a counter-revo lution would rake place, and on the approach of hi. army into Belgium, a great number of their officers and soldiers would hoist the Orange colours. This was another chance Or the King of Holland was looking to. Marshal Gerard was On the qui rice, and, as an old soldier, would not Le taken by surprised ; consequently, he demanded of the Be . gian Government the most important situations and forts to be put in his possession. This has caused a great jealousy and mistrust between the French and Belgian Generals— the latter claim . the post of honour, to wipe out the stain of their former defers. Consols opened at the price they left off yesterday 83, since which they have been done at 83k for the Account. The Dutch mail is not as yet arrived. HALF-PAST ONE. A private express has arrived via Calais from Aga sterd3m, bringing the Dutch funds on Monday S9i, which is an improvement of abiut toe per Cent. Extract of a letter from the agent to Lloyds at Ant werp, dated Nov. 27:-- " It is supposed that the French will open their fire on the citadel from eleven batteries, of six twenty-one pounders each, and behind them will be placed the maws. The troops have orders to be under arms at five this evening. " Ican almost give you the assurance that the engi neers will commence to-night, at six o'clock, to ope❑ the trenches." Th. , private letters front Aotwerp:of the above date, do not state that the firing on the citadel is so near at hand. THE FUNDS. The Dutch mail is not, as yet, arrived, nor is it ex pected until very late this evening. Private expresses ar expected in the course of the evening from Ostend. Consols are at present S3i to far the Account, with little doing. The Foreign funds are in a state of stagnation. Dutch Stock is rather better. THREE 0' CL 0 CE. Consols for Account, 83i 4. The French marine have made a discovery which is likely to have considerable effect in reducing the expense of constructing vessels. Mix pitch and tar with essence of tobacco, and use this mixture to csulk the ships ; by it they are preserved from worms, which the tar thus prepared poisons. This will save the expense of copper bottoms, and make a diminution of some millions annually i❑ the expenses of the naval department. LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, Nov. 28. Our cotton-market keeps steady at the prices of last week The sales of the last three days reach 5,000 or 6,000 bags, chiefly American descriptions, with 250 Boweds to-day, at Id. to 7p., some common Egyptians at 83d., and a few Bahias at 74d. to Bd. per lb. SADLER'S-WELLS.— We visited this theatre last night, and were highly amused by the entertainments provided by Mr. FOSTER for his benefit. Miss FORDE'S Clever performance of Rosina, in the comic opera of the Barber of Seville is too well known to he commented on here—suffice it to say that it was very effective. But the most novel entertainment of the evening was a comic scene by Mr.T. HunsoN,in which he enacted, or rather sung, the part of a distressed poet. CAPTAIN SKINNER'S BODY FOUND.—Oit Sunday, at one o'clock, the body of the late I inaented Captain SKINNER was found on the beach, near Port Davoc, three miles from Holyhead, and about six miles from the spot where he was washed overboard, without the head, and not a particle of clothing. It was recog ❑iced by the want of the right arm, which be lost in the taking of New York, in the year 1776, and a scar on the left arm. His remains were brought in a cart to Holyhead, and deposited in the bone-house adjoining the church, until application was made to the Magistrate, to have them removed to his own house, which was done between five and six o'clock on Sunday morning. On Mon Jay, at four o'clock, an inquest was held on the body and a verdict of Accidental Death returned. The funeral took place immediately after, by candle light.—Dublin Morning Register.

We have received the following documents, wliicb cannot be read without the profoundest grief :-- TRANSPLANTATION OF FIVE THOUSAND FA MILIES OF POLISH GENTLEMEN, BY EACH POLISH PROVINCE, ON THE LINE OF THE CAUCASUS. I -ORDER OF THE MINISTER OF FINANCES TO THE GOVERNOR OF PODOLIA, OF THE DATE OF 9TH (21ST) TV v.. 1831. " His Majesty the Emperor has cotrleseended to pro nulga.e a supreme order to m ke the nec.-ssiry regulations err transplanting, for the first time, 5,000 families of Po. tish gentlemen, of the G , vernment of Pod Ur, to the Steppes, under the control of the Treasury, an., by pre ference on , he line, or in the di.tr ct of Catica‘u , , that those thus transplanted may there be enrolled in the mili tary service. " To carry into execution the above transpi rotation, it 's necessary to select—first, persons who took part in the late insurrection ; those also who have been comprised in th e third class of offenders, and who have consequently ob tained the favour and pardon of his Majesty ; secondly, those persons who, from their mode of life, in the opinion .f the local authorities, excite the distrust of the Go vernment. " According to this, your Excellency will make use of -all necessary means (without publishing or making known the tenor of this order), to resister the families who ught to be transplanted, in order that ou may begin, without delay, the execution of this order, ace ,, rding to the rules which will he ultimately communicated to you " IL-LITERAL EXTRACT FROM THE ANSWER OF TEE GIOVERNOR OF PODOLIA TO THE MINISTER OF FIN, N.

As to the first class, it promises notions good for the prosperity of the count , y ; the second hat tak-r, no great part in the late insurrection; the •hird, which is very numerous, consists of persons who frequently go from one place to another, from one district to another, and from one Government to another, and who, having nothine to lose, are not bound to any place, and who, in serving the masters that p-y thew, are given up to all the practices wtich are inimical to commerce and integrity —mercenary servants, they are ready to perform any orders of their employers ; ambitious in all their Vans, they serve as machines, and were princip.illy accomplices to the leaders of the revolt during the insurrection ; th, s e are dangerous persons, who may yet be very mischievous in unforeseen circumstances It would be very beneficial, irr every point of view, to depopulate the cowry of this people. The counsellors and lawyers, whose interest it is to prolong civil suit., and who acquire their fortunes to the injury of the citizens, pessess so much the more in fluence over them ; and it is desirable for the good even of this country that their number should be consid rably (L -tninished by transplantation.
