BUCKINGHAMSHIRE. (From the Bucks Gazette.) TO THE DISSENTERS OF GREAT BRITAIN. Fellow-countrymen, and Dissenters from the Established Church,—Let us awake to a sense of that duty which de volves upon us as men and Christians ; let us wipe away that reproach which rests upon us in a compromising sup port of the established hierarchy; let us vindicate the cause Of true religion and justice, which are injured and violated by its existence. We believe the church establishment to be founded in error, to be unjustly supported, and inefficient for the great Purpose for which it exists. Let us act as men labouring under such impressions. Let us conduct ourselves as the correctors of error, as the opposers of injustice, and the de termined foes of every inefficient monopoly, whether tem poral or spiritual. Our separation from the Established Church is a stand ing memorial of our dissent, an ever-abiding witness of our oppression : but we neutralize our dissent by a quiet and compromising payment of all ecclesiastical demands. We cast an imputation upon our sincerity by continuing to sup port that practically which we are ever theoretically con demning. If we have a creed different to the shiboleth of a party, let us show that we believe it. If we have principles based upon truth, justice, and reason, let us act upon them. Truth will prevail ! Justice will be heard ! ! Reason will conquer ! ! ! We call upon you, not to violate any law, not to em barrass the operation of our Ministry (our strength is in the prompt obeyance of the law), but we do call upon you to obey it in such a manner as shall show your sense of its injustice, and your determination to cast off its yoke, While, so long as it continues, you are willing, in one sense, to comply with its demand. The example of the Quakers is that which we call upon you to imitate. They have been for the last 50 years at least bearing a silent but increasing testimony to the in justice and claims of the clergy. If the whole body of Dissenters had imitated their example from the first, we do not hesitate to say, that long ere this the question would have been settled for ever. It is not ton late ! Our numbers are great, our in fluence, from the Senate to the meanest hovel in the land, vast and increasing ; we have only to be united and firm to be happy and free. If the priests will have our money, let them have it as our blood. If they will have our sup ! 4 port, let them have it at the expense of every law of hos pitality and good citizenship, by the seizure of our property, and its public sale ; let them seize, but who will buy ? Let one day throughout the land bear testimony to our decision,—a day in which history shall record that an oppressed majority of the nation opened their doors to spiritual tyrants, and permitted (with a quiet sullen sub i mission) their property to be seized, their rights of freemen to be trampled upon, for the purpose of vindicating the cause of religion, obtaining liberty of conscience, and ascer taining their strength, previous to a conflict, which should end in a complete and splendid victory of truth over error, of freedom over despotism, of religion over hypocrisy and iniquity. Some of you hesitate at such a proposal. Peace, peace, is your cry. Peace, too, is our motto; but not the peace of vassallage, hut of remonstrance. We have too long submitted to such a peace as the former; our submission has been construed into cowardice, the truth of our prin ciPles doubted, and our sincerity impeached ; so that if we have asked for freedom, these charges have been taunt ' in gly made by the very men we support ; and now that i We have obtained that freedom, because they neither could nor durst Withhold it, in the bitterness of their dying I,- agonies they charge us w ith i ngrat i tu d e . D o no t hesi tat brethren, it must be attempted,—it must be done ! Do e, not shrink, we only ask you to carry out our principles. Do not be as h amed, first • we only ask you for consistency. The step is the difficulty ; that once taken, our work E is done, our liberty effected, a n d one o f t h e f ou l es t bl o t s Wiped from the character of our country. Let this fact chee r yo u on t o the work. Remember that while there was a day in which it required the blood of a Hampden to be shed t as th e price of civil liberty, and the lives of holy men o be sacrified as the redemption price of religious free dom, that we live in a day when reason, not arms, are ap pealed to,—wben truth, not brute force, is the weapon of scbonquest. R --erne mbers while the green and luxuriant ores of Erin are deluged with the blood of some of her best sons, w e may, if we are circumspect and firm, throw off the despotis m of the church without the shedding of one drop of blood, the sacrific e of one life, or even the remotest approach to a Point e d eagles of the church. murmur, except from the disap s The day of f ree d om has dawned upon us. We see that day for w hi ch our fathers longed. They contended against hope. We struggle with bright anticipations, with sure and certain hope of success. They commenced the strug gle : we are called to finish it. We call upon you by the. bland of those holy men, which yet cries from the ground for retribution, by the honour of blighted religion, by the insult' to which you are subject by a bloated and despotic Priesthood, and the love you bear to your country, be con sistent as Dissenters ; be firm in your remonstrance ; be United, be d e termi ne d, an d B r i t i s h in your operations, and °nee more the favour of the Most High shall rest upon us, and prosperity and happiness smile upon every part of the once happy, but now distressed and burdened Eng land. FIDES. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. theatre, The Jealous Wife was last n i g ht per f orme d at t hi s and went off with much applause. It was well MACREADY playi ng O a kl ey, FARREN Russet!, and Mrs. GLOVER Mrs. Oakley. A sister of Miss Mott baunr made her first appearance as Harriet, and made a very favourable debut. This young lady is tall and fair, with dark hair, a pretty face, and graceful figure. She Played with much skill and feeling, and will, we think, be an acquisition to the theatre. After the Jealous Wife, a new piece, entitled Mr. and Mrs. Pringle, from the Pen of Mr. DE TRUEBA, was brought out for the first titan. It i s one o f t h e most sp i r i te d an d li ve l y i nter l udes we have ever witnessed, and cannot fail of bringing its talented author yet more prominently than at present into favour and popularity as a dramatic author. At the commencement of the piece, tee find Mr. Pringle (Mr. FARREN) complimenting himself on not having married till sixty, and having now united himself to an elderly widow with whom he may enjoy domestic felicity without the fear, which in him amounts to an actual horror, of being bored by a family. Mrs. Pringle (Mrs. GLOVER) shortly enters, a n d a f ter a scene o f mutual fondness they Joined by Mrs. Bustle (Mrs. C. J mum), a dressmaker, through whos e means M rs. P r i ng l e f i nds herself obliged c ommunicate to her spouse the important secret that al 's has a grown-up daughter, and, after much coaxing, even succeeds in obtaining his consent to bring her to the house. She is scarcely gone, when he inadver tently opens a letter addressed to his wife, and signed u Your affectionate son, Charles Robinson." The writer informs his mother that he is in a spunging_house, and re quests her influence with her new husband to obtain his liberation. His new daughter, Clarissa Robinson, is scarcely in the house when she is fol:owed by her lover, Brush (Mr. BALLS), who heaps insults and provocations on Pringle till he discovers who be is, and then assumes the character of a most pertinacious leech. Mrs. Pringle's ton is next introduced, and on the old gentleman's inquir ing bow he got out of the spunging-house, his wife ex- C v : ai toi, "My dear, it's Ch i d e s that is in the sponging true ; this i s m y son H enry ."

Mr. aaats and Mrs. Ch.ovEa were ex ce ll ent . Th e success he piece was unequivocal. The will of PHILIP HERBERT, Earl of Pem broke, which was published in 1648, together with his " Speeches in the time of the Civil War," is a facetious affair. Amongst other bequests it contains the following ---" All my other horses I give to the Lord FAIRFAX, that when Citomwma. and the States take away his com mission, his Lordship in,,y have some horse to command." hem. —I give nothing to the Lord SAY, which legacy 1 give because I know he'll bestow it on the poor." " Item" Because I threat'ned Sir HENRY MILDMAY, but did not beat him, 1 give 501. to the footman that cudgell'd him." WINDSOR, OCT. 9. Yesterday their MAJESTIES took an airing in a close carriage in the Great Park. Yesterday the Marquis of CAMDEN arrived at the Castle on a visit to their MAJESTIES, as did also General DAL• RYMPLE, who is now in his 97th year. Sir HENRY and Lady BLACKWOOD, and Lady and Miss GORE, had th e honour of dining with their MAJESTI E S. The QUEEN'S band were in attendance, and played during the evening. This afternoon, at 3 o'clock, their MAJESTIES left the Castle in a close carriage, and proceeded to Taplow, by Slough, Salt Hill, &c. They were unattended by any of their suite. Prince GEORGE, accompanied by part of the Royal suite, rode on horseback in th' nrent Park. To-morrow his MAJESTY will leave the Castle for St. James's Palace, and will return in the evening to dinner. Mr. SYKES, serjeant-footman to his late MAJESTY and the present KING, died last night, after a abort but severe illness. COURT CIRCULAR. Earl GREY came to town yesterday from his residence at East Sheen. Sir JAMES GRAHAM and the Com mander of the Forces visited the Noble Earl, during the afternoon, at the Treasury. His Lordship had an in terview with Viscount ALTHORP. The Master-General of the Ordnance and Lord SYD NEY OSBORNE (from the lonian Islands) transacted bud. ness yesterday, at the office of the Secretary of State for the Colonial Department. Lord JouN RUSSELL arrived at his residence, at White hall, on Monday evening. His Lordship visited Viscount ALTHORP yesterday at the Treasury. OXFORD, OCT. 8. This day, in full convocation, letters from Lord Gren ville, Chancellor of the University, were read, in which his Lordship nominated the Rev. George Rowley, D.D., and Master of University College, to be Vice-Chancellor for the ensuing year, in the room of the Rev. Dr. Jones, Rector of Exeter College, who retires, after having filled that office for four years. The Vice-Chancellor, upon re tiring, made the usual recapitulation of the academical events of the past year, and took leave of the University, in the capacity of its chief magistrate, in a speech of much eloquence and genuine feeling. Having resigned the book of statutes, the keys, and seal, into the hands of the Senior Proctor, these (the insignia of office) were delivered to the new Vice-Chancellor, who thereupon, having first taken the oaths, ascended the Vice-Chancellor's chair, and ac cepted the office of Vice-Chancellor in a brief Latin oration. He then nominated the following heads of houses as Pro- Vice-Chancellors for the ensuing year :—. Dr. Jenkyns, Master of Balliol. Dr. Jones, Rector of Exeter. Dr. Gilbert, Principal of Brasenose. Dr. Bridges, President of Corpus. The following are the Degree Days for the present Michaelmas Term :---Wednesday, Oct. 10 ; Wednesday, Oct. 17 ; Thursday, Oct. 25 ; Wednesday, Oct. 31 ; Thursday, Nov. 15 ; Thursday, Nov. 22 ; Thursday, Nov. 29 ; Thursday, Dec. 6 ; Thursday, Dec. 13 ; and Monday, Dec. 7. Lord DURHAM is expected by 'the Batavier steam-beat. The King of HOLLAND, it is said, will send a brace of Commissioners to the Conference of London, to keep the game of quibbles alive, and raise long-winded questions upon slender materials, perhaps for the sole pur p s e of gaining time, or to take advantage of the Chapter of Accidents, which may never present a favourable chance. Letters from Brest mention the arrival at that port of a brig of war of Don Mionaes, captured by Admiral SARTORIUS'S squadron. She is called the San Joao Magnifico, and was laden with money, rice, leather, saltpetre, and cordage, for the use of the Miguelite troops. The circumstance of her being sent round to Brest, instead of pushing into Oporto, seems to be indi cative of that port being either blockaded by the Miguelite squadron, or inaccessible on account of their hovering about the bar. According to intelligence received from Ma drid, King FERDINAND VII. has abrogated the abolition of the Salic law proprio motu. The succession to the Crown of Spain devolves, therefore, on the King's brother, Don CARLos, whose son, by virtue of a treaty just con cluded, is to marry the Infanta Donna ISABELLA, King FERDINAND'S daughter, born in 1830, in whose favour the said Salic law for the exclusion of females had been set aside, even before her birth By this arrangment King FERDINAND hopes to keep the Crown in his family, without incutring the danger of involving the kingdom in a civil war. There has been a complete change in the Cabinet. Count ALcunt A is out of office—none but pure Absolutists are in power. M. BERMUDEZ, the Spanish Ambassador in London, is said to be about to re turn to Madrid. At the tune when titles were abolished by the French National Assembly, and the convenient term ci-de vaut was adopted to s ive each one the trouble of leaning a new nomenclature of all his acquaintance—at this time a Frenchman, then at the Hague, made use of the expres• sion, " JESUS CHRIST, ci-devant noire Seigneur!" BENTHAM.—JEREMY BENTHAM was one of that class of men of whom HAZLITT says, that they ad vance so far before their contemporaries as to be dwarfed in the distance. The multitude could not comprehend, and either laughed scornfully at him, or passed him un noticed. Like every thing that is great, however, he was working in silence. The time in which he lived was a state of transition. Alen had cast themselves loose from fixed opinions. Old principles and old establishments were worn loosely for want of a better covering ; but they were like the snake's last year's skin, retained loosely hanging about it, till the new shall be tough enough for the wear and tare of ordinary life. It was an age of scep ticism ; there was no positive belief. Amid this cla mourous and empty crowd, jostling and quarrelling with out any definite purpose, BENTHAM, in his quiet habitation in Westminster, was calmly extending and systematizing his own views, gathering around him a cohort of half or whole cony, rte, destined to diffuse his principles and opi nions throughout the world, forming as it were a link between the state of society from which vitality was fast ebbing, and that which was to succeed. His mind is no longer manifested to us through a corporeal medium, but his thoughts holding many subject to his power, and about to hold mere, he may truly be said still to live among us. —Tait's Magazine. _ _ We have late advices from China, which com nicate some further accounts of the revolt in that empire. It appears that the position of the rebel forces was very strong, being a species of amphitheatre surrounded by mountains, and only accessible through narrow passes among the hills. These passes were entirely occupied by the rebels, and owing to these loeal advantages they had completely worsted all the troops sent against them. The Governor of the province of Hoo-nam, who at the com mencement of the revolt had proceeded to the scene of action with all the disposable force of the province, had been obliged to retire precipitately in consequence of the rebels having made demonstrations to attack his flank and rear. It was generally thought he would pay with his head for the progress of the insurrection. The troops of the EMPEROR are reported to be much dispirited in conse quence of the general belief that the revolters were leagued with evil spirits, and protected by them ; and this super stition was likely to cause the rebels' progress to be for some time unimpeded. THE RUSSIA TRADE.—The commercial ad vices, received yesterday from the Russian capital, respect ing the state of trade there, are of an interesting descrip tion. 'l'he mercantile transactions were conducted on an extended scale, and large purchases of the staple articles of Russian produce had been made for the English markets. The quantity of tallow shipped off up to the date of the present advices (the 26th ult.) amounted to 134,000 casks ; and 4,000 casks, purchased since last post, were ready to be put on board. The quantity of tallow remain ing unsold was about 20,000 casks, making the total supply Mr the season nearly 160,000 casks. So active had been the demand that the price, which some weeks back was at 118 rubles, hail advanced to 124 rubles per pond. In hemp there bad also been some considerable purchases made recently, in all amounting to 9,000 tons, at 74 roubles per pood for clean, 60 for outshot, and 50 roubles per pond for half clean qualities. The exchange on Len don had been as high as 10d. 43-64ths, but the last quo tation was 10d. 19 32ds. Since the commencement of the present season there had arrived at St. Petersburgh 620 British vessels, and 460 had sailed. The market for tallow here at present attracts a good deal of interest. In consequence of the short stock the price on 'Change yes terday afternoon was firm at 425. 6d. per cwt., or from 4s. to 4s. 6d. higher than in 1830, and 3s. 6d. per cwt. above what it realized in the corresponding week of last year. The present stock is only about 15,500 casks against 42,000 casks on this day last year. The art ivals since the Ist of June have been 47,400 casks, bein g nearly 6,000 less than the arrivals up to the same week of last year. Notwithst an di ng t h e l arge sup pli es o f t a ll ow f rom Russia, the price of town tallow continues to improve, and is now quoted 48s. per cwt,, being 2s. per cwt. higher than in the same week of last year. BUTCHERS' SUNDAY OBSERVANCE SOCIETY. A meeting of the trade of Master Butchers was held yesterday, at the Freemason's Tavern, to consider the pro priety of adopting a petition to the Legislature, to enforce the suspension of business on the Sunday. The meeting was numerously and respectably attended. Mr. GIBLET, of Bond-street, was called to the Chair. The CHAIRMAN, in a short but energetic speech, ex plained the objects for which the meeting had been con vened, and concluded, amidst considerable applause, by requesting that irrelevant topics might be omitted, and that, should any gentleman, whose opinions were hostile to the principles of their society, think proper to address the meeting, be would he attended to, if not with convic tion, at least with attention and indulgence. Mr. STUBBING wished to know whether a meeting on the same subject had not been held previous to the present ? The CHAIRMAN replied, that a meeting had been held, but that its proceedings were strictly private. In that meeting it bad been determined to call a general meeting, in order to afford full scope for the most public discussion on the objects of their Society. Messrs. Hicks, Healy, Bonsor, Baker, Higham, Towns end, Kemp, Ellwood, Bolton, and Way, then severally addressed the meeting. A correspondent has sent us a long letter, for which, ou account of the hour of its arrival, we regret we cannot find room, illustrative of the course now pur suing by the Tory clique of Chelmsford and its vicinity. The following is an extract :—" I now put it to yourself and to your readers, whether they have ever met with a system so calculated to destroy the harmony of society ? The following is the form of a circular which has been sent to several tradesmen at Chelmsford :—' The M.-- intending in future to deal with members of the Established Church only, request Mr. to send them the plate for their crest on the livery buttons. They have inclosed the account, which the servant has orders to settle, and which he will be so good as to receipt. Great Baddow, 25th Sept., 1832.' " Our correspondent adds, " The amount was enormous : it was a two years' account, amounting to seven shillings and tenpence. The account of another tradesman, who has been served in the same manner, amounted to six shillings and ninepence I" The only commentary we shall make on the affair is this,—if the tradesmen of Chelmsford choose to become the abject slaves of such petty tyrants, we wish them joy of their patronage.—Colchester Gazette. The East India Company's ships Thomas Coons and George IV. arrived at Bombay, the former on the 2d, and the latter on the 6th of June, all well. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENlNG.—Ar rived, the Planter, from Quebec. We have experienced a heavy gale of wind from the north-west. The morning was remarkably fine, and a number of vessels proceeded to sea. Before, however, they had got outside of the banks the storm came on. About 1 o'clock the wind blew a per fect hurricane, and the outward bound were placed in a situation of imminent peril. The packet-ship Virginian, for New York, and the Ann Paley, for Lisbon, put back in safety. The Rapid, for Bahia, put back with loss of fore topmast and main.top gallant-mast. The Grecian, for Boston, was driven on shore no Busbo Bank ; while the packet-ship, Algonquin, for Philadelphia, and the Vi gilant, for Havannah, in attempting to return, grounded in the Rack Channel. The storm continued throughout the afternoon with unabated violence. Towards night, how ever, it abated a little; but up to the hour of post the gale threatened several of the vessels on shore with serious damage, if not with total destruction. How TO CATCH CROWS.--WILSON, in his American Ornithology, says that crows have been em ployed to catch crows by the following stratagem :—A live crow is pinned by the wings down to the ground on his back, by means of two sharp forked sticks. Thus situated, his cries are loud and incessant, particularly if any other crows are within view. These, sweeping down about him, are instantly grappled and held fast by the prostrate prisonor, with the same instinctive impluse that urges a drowning man to grasp at every thing within his reach. The game being disengaged from his clutches, the trap is again ready for another experiment ; and by pinning down each captive successively, as soon as taken, in a short time you will probably have a large flock screaming about you, in concert with the outrageous pri soners below. This method of catching crows is, I be lieve, practised in some parts of England to catch jays, which make a most violent outcry when pinned to the ground.—Jesse's Gleanings in Natural History. AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—We regret to have to announce the decease of a very obliging, worthy, and excellent man, RICHARD QUENTIN, Esq., officer of Commons. He ticcompanied the new Lord Mayor to the opening of the Quarter Sessions on Tuesday. The same evening he formed part of his Lordship's State at Mr. Sheriff PRESTON'S dinner, all the while enjoying the moat excellent health. He retired at an early hour to his house in William•street, and was attacked on Wednesday morn ing at three o'clock, with cholera. Every remedy was applied, but the attack, we grieve to say, proved fatal—he expired at noon of that day.—Saunders's News Letter. We re 4 ret to have to announce the death of Mr. R. HAR TY, the late independent Mayor of Dublin (whose contest with Mr. LAW for the representation of that city, must be in the recollection of our readers), of the same dreadful complaint; and also that of Mr. DANIEL, of St. Mary street, Dublin. JACK IN HIS GLORY.—A most amusing scene occurred on Monday afternoon, on the river. The notice of every one was attracted to a wherry, rowed up against wind and tide, in which a jolly sailor, just re turned from India, was sitting beside his dozy, whom he was fondling in the most loving, if not most delicate, manner. He bad a pipe in his mouth, and a slender cane in his hand, which he flourished about in all the abandon ment of freedom and ecatacy. Behind him was a large shaggy Newfoundland dog, and before him was seated a musicim, with a huge drum and Paudean pipes, which JACK insisted on his playing without intermission. In his progress he was cheered by the sailors in the vessels and barges, and the boatmen and others on the wharfs, and by the different parties in the drinking-rooms overlooking the river. On his arrival at St. Katharine's Wharf, JACK, leaving Susax to be handed out by the boatman, started up, and (which added greatly to the keeping of the scene) exhibited a wooden leg, which he threw out, and with the agility, and somewhat of the manner, of a kan garoo, hopped upon his one foot on shore, amid the greet islanding. . of a c A o n c h o o u a r t s m e a n of was p r s d o e n s s p ate assembled hedfor t a o c w a i a t c n h e s a h t i o s a man,hwisitdhruj: ordersea a vdft r oopo ittreoi pies, ne e dt i d uoppr h ( ; i n, a m , w . ich th e fseterlfp e w t o i thhi s ng t h fair ti c o s t o l i p a with R th u e le b ß ox rit b a r n e n id ia e; , h t e o c w o h a c i c h h . inspiring tun e J ACK was driven off, amidst the shouts of the spectators, to whom he good-humour e dl waved his m. hat from th e w i ndow. It was s Y e .11 a scene as SMOLLETT would have immortalized. BARBAROUS MURDER.—On the evening of Sunday week last a most brutal murder was committed by a party of miscreants on a poor man named GAYNOR, who rented an orchard at Rathourath, and had infringed on the Rockite code by taking some ground of which some other petson had been dispossessed. About four o'clock on the above day four fellows went into his house, which was at the rear of one occupied by the Rev. Mr. KENNEDY, Curate of Mr. COUGHLAN, P.P., and they beat him on the head with the butt ends of their pistols in so savage a manner, as to cause his (bath soon afterwards. The Cu rate attempted to interfere and save the poor man's life, when the ruffians swore they would blow his brains out it he did not desist. The ruffians then went off and got half a gallon of whiskey at Skea. They were pursued by Mr. KENNEDY and a Mr. BA NON, but we regret to say with. out effect. An inquest was held on the body by HUGH DICKSON, Esq., and a verdict of " Wilful Murder" re turned against some persons unknown.— Westmeath Journal. On Wednesday morning, a most atrocious murder was committed in the neighbourhood of Dunkeld by .1011 N STEWART, wood-ranger, at Cally. All his children having been at out-of-door duties, he seized that opportunity to get hold of an axe, with which he delibe rately murdered his wife, having apparently inflicted three tremendous blows on her face and head. On one of his daughters coming to th e h ome , s h e met hi m rus hing from the house in an infuriated state, and with some difficulty escaped wiTh her life, he having threatened to stab her with a knife which he carried. The family immediately alarmed the neighbourhood, and on proceeding to the house, the poor creature was found on t h e fl oor lifeless, and a bloody axe in the lebby. By this time the monster bad fled to the woods of Craigybar ns , an d the authorities having requested the inhabit a nt s t o ass ist in searching, they, to their credit, notwithstanding the day was exceed ingly wet and stormy, immediately went in search of him. After a pursuit of five hours they succeeded in apprehend. ing him, and despatching him to Perth gaol. When apprehending the ruffian hc- threatened to stab his pursuers with the knife before referred to, but he was fortunately overpowered. Although the immediate pretext for so foul a deed is not known, it is reported he did not in general use his wife well.--[The probability is tbat be is insane. —Glasgow Chronicle.

The st rong wester l y w i n d s st ill p reva iling, we fear, w ill prevent the Duke of Wellington from taking her final departure for Oporto immediately.

CARADOR was the bearer of despatches, which reached the Foreign.office last week, from our Minister at the Court of the King of the FRENCH. TREATMENT OF A BRITISH SUBJECT. The following letter was addressed by the write; to his employers : " HAMBURG, AUG. B.—GENTLEMEN,-.41t your re quest, I beg leave to relate the circumstances attending my detention in Mecklenburg. You had permitted me, on my return from the fair at Leipsic, to stop a few days on a visit to my friend M. Von Lucken. On this visit we went together to see a family at Bresegard, at some dis tance from M. Von Lucken's house. We arrived late a , night, and almost immediately retired to rest. About 3 o'clock in the morning the house was visited by the police. You are aware that M. Von Lucken entertains similar opinions to those I hold respecting the ordinance of baptism—that it is not for infants, but for believers in Christ. In the promulgation of these opinions, it seems, he bad become obnoxious to the Government. To prevent arrest, he thought it prudent to escape. I was detained, on the ground of being found in his company, although I exhibited my passport, and claimed my right as a British subject, having committed no offence whatever against the Mecklenburg Government. I remained until late in the afternoon at Bresegard, and was then sent to Grabow, a distance of about 10 English miles, during a heavy rain, is a common snalefactor, in an open cart, escorted by a number of peasants. " At Grabow I was brought before the Amtmann, or Justice of Peace, who told me my passport was a scrawl, and worth nothing, but proceeded to examine me upon my creed in a very inquisitorial manner. He demanded whe • ther I had administered the Lord's supper, or baptised in that country, which I had not. Alter this I was re manded, until an answer came from the High Court of Schwerin. On the following day I wrote two letters, one to M. Von Lucken's family, the other to yourselves, and sent them to the Post-office. Both these were brought back by order of the Amt ; one was opened in my presence, the other at the Amt ; the latter, it seems, reached its destination 12 days after its date, the former never arrived. " Three days aftewards I was sent under eseort to 13oitzenburg, hoping to be immediately liberated, from what had been told me in Grabow ; but the Amtsrath Wusthoff said I should be detained on the charge of having been present at a baptism ; this charge, however trivial, was totally untrue; he demanded security of me for the expenses I might incur if confined in an inn, and said I must otherwise go to the common prison. I told him I had hardly any money with me, but, espying my watch, he said that would be sufficient ; adding, that if I were put into a common prison, he would set a watch over me there, and make me pay for the guard. An acquaintance offered to take me into his rooms, which was refused. A room in a private house was afterwards procured, but the town authorities prohibited my being received under their juris diction in any place. I was at length conducted to an inn, and lodged there with a guard at my room door, who was also present when any one came to see me. " On Friday I was examined for about two hours and a half, when I had to give all particulars where I had been, and what I had been doing, from the time I left my birth-place until then ; and particular and inquisitorial in quiry was again made as to my faith, and other strange questions put to me, amongst which also—whether I was possessed of property or not? To this I answered ac cording to truth, that I bad nothing but what I worked for. I pressed the urgency of my employers' business, telling them that none else could perform the work I had to do, and that the loss of time might be productive of evil consequences. I was then remanded to my room, where I remained until Wednesday the 25th July, when I was again called before the Amt to hear the contents of a letter from the High Court, according to which I was to be released without paying a fine, as I had not trans gressed any law; but I was ordered to pay all my ex• penses, as well at the inns by the way, as to the guard, which I was obliged to do. My passport was not returned to me, but a few lines Irons the Amtsrath instead. I was detained in all 19 days, viz. from the 7th to the 25th of July, when I proceeded to Hamburg. " I hope our Government will interfere in this affair to some good purpose; and remain gentlemen, yours most respectfully, " WILLIAM HENRY DONALD." There has been a good deal of sparring, first between the Edinburgh Papers, and since between those of Edinburgh and of London, respecting the addresses, dinners, speeches, &e., by which some of the inhabitants of Edinburgh chose to testify their respect and admiration for the ex- King of FRANCE and his family, and their regret at his departure. There can be no doubt, that the Tories of Edinburgh took this opportunity of venting their poli tical spleen at the present Government of France, by re presenting CHARLES X. as a martyr, and as endowed with all the virtues which can adorn human nature, so as to place the picture in apposition with the one they drew of Louts PHILIPPE. Let the respective merits of these two " illustrious" personages be what they may—that point is quite immaterial to the Tories, if be be but a " Con servative," a tkorough stickler for ancient privileges. Hence their particular affection for the virtuous Moon., and the beloved FERDINA ND. It was, therefore, without surprise, that we learnt their pranks on the departure of CHARLES X. ; but, we found, with 'egret, that persons of liberal opinions had permitted their feelings of sympathy to blind their judgment by countenancing the absurd pro ceedings which then occurred. Kind treatment as a pri vate individual was all that CHARLES X. was entitled to; that, and more, he received from both government and people. For any of the people to treat him as still a King, and expect the government to follow their example, was worse than absurdity. Much could be said of the ex•KING's political acts ; but we will only briefly allude to what we have.heard of one of his private actions, which, having a particular aversion to cant, we should like to hear reconciled with the late account-of his virtues. During the first French revolution, were not CHARLES X. and other members of the Royal family arrested in Germany fin a large sum of money, (supposed 20,000l.)—did not Count PAFFENHOFEN generously relea-e them by becom ing security for the debt—did they not subsequently leave him to pay it, nearly to his own ruin—has he ever been able to receive a shilling of the money—in consequence of which, did he not commence proceedings against CHARLES X. on his arrival in this country, his departure from which is said to be connected with this circumstance ?—Aber deen Herald. Mr. CLAGGETT and Miss DAY were married at Marylebone Church; on Thursday, the 27th ult. Mr. Ciatoczrr eloped with Miss DAY the Tuesday previous, but blundered with respect to the church, taking the lady to St. George, Hanover-square, where the Minister, dis covering the license to be drawn out for St. Marylebone Church, refused, of course, to unite them. He then drove the lady to All Souls, Langham-place, with as little success—mistaking the latter for the parish church of St. Marylebone. The lady became alarmed at these disap pointments, and insisted upon being driven to some of her friends, who reside in the neighbourhood of Berkeley square, where she remained until Thursday; in the mean time Mr. DAY consented to the match. Mr. CLAGGETT is the third SOD of HORATIO CLAGGEDT, of the late well known firm of CLAGGETT and Paarr, the American mer chants, in John-street, Minories. He is now in his 30th year, and when of age he came into possession of a for- tune of upwards of 20,0001. Miss DAY, it is said, is about the same age, and has at her own disposal upwards of 35,0001. A detachment of the 93d Highlanders, con sisting of 4 officers, 4 sergeants, and 75 rank and file, un der the command of Captain ARTHUR, has received orders to r rocead from Fort George to join the serv:ce companila. of the regiment in the West Indies. —Edinburgh Courant. ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AME RICA. —The peace establishment of the United States is composed of 4 regiments of artillery and 7 regiments of infantry, and, with staff officers, amounts to about 6,000 men. Each regiment of artillery consists of 9 companies, one of which is equipped as light artillery. A company is officered by a captain, 4 subalterns, and S non-commis sioned, with 3 artificers, 2 mwicians, and 42 privates. A company of infantry consists of a captain, 2 subalterns, and 7 non-commissioned, 2 musicians, and 42 privates. And to each regiment of artillery and infantry there are 1 colonel, 1 lieutenant colonel, 1 major, an adjutant, ser geant-major, and quartermaster-sergeant. The corps of military and topographical engineers are not attached to the Ordnance Department, which is merged in the artil lery. The Ordnance service in the States consists merely of SO officers of aitillery, selected to command the different depots of arms and arsenals of the Union, with 10 super intendents of armouries and storekeepers. Major-General ALEXANDER MAcoma commands the army at present, and he is allowed 2 aides-de camp. Besides him there are 2 brigadier-generals, each with 1 aide-de-camp ; and these aids, taken from the subalterns of the line, besides their other duties, perform those of assistant-adjutants general. Two inspectors -general annually visit the posts of the army; their duty is very severe, when one consi ders the extent of territory they have to traverse. There are also an adjutant and quarter-master-general, 2 quar ter-masters, and 10 assistant-quarter-masters. The Sub sistence Department consists of 1 commissary general and 50 assistant commissaries, taken from the subalterns o the line, with extra pay. There are also 1 paymaster general and 14 paymasters, and 1 surgeon-general, S sur geons, and 45 assistant- sur g eons .— U n ited Service Jourti. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The cry raised against Church rates is not confined to them alone. The abolition of tithe is equally its object, and, as we said yesterday, it spreads like wildfire through the entire realm. It is not to be supposed that the sweeping resolution against Church rates, adopted a few days ago in the important town of Birmingham, arose from any sudden or desul tory impulse of the popular will. The amount and application of these rates had frequently be fore been the subject of angry controversy, and it is understood that the vestries had made large reductions, from year to year, in consequence of the dissatisfaction so repeatedly expressed by the inhabitants. Nor, if the sentiment has been of long growth amongst the dissenting pa rishioners of Birmingham, can we doubt that it is widely circulated also beyond the population of that borough. The truth is, that the Eng lish Dissenters have everywhere been fain to bide their time, and to watch the first favourable op portunity for throwing off the pecuniary burdens entailed upon them by the sup port of the Church of England and her Ministers. They are a shrewd and calculating people, to whom, if their creed prescribes the innocence of the dove, so do their maxims of worldly interest inspire them with the wisdom of the serpent. The Protestant Dissenters are, perhaps, taken altogether, the most sagacious portion of our countrymen. Whatever may be their speculative differences in matter of faith amongst themselves, they act like one man for the redress of a common grievance. The pre sent crisis, therefore, which holds out to all de nominations of the King's subjects the novel power of operating directly upon the composi tion of Parliament, and which contains in it likewise the additional advantage of a simulta neous and formidable resistance to the Estas blished Church by the whole body of Irish Dis senters, Protestant as well as Catholic, offers extraordinary encouragement to those of Eng land for the realization of their long-cherished hope to curtail the monopoly of the episcopa lian clergy. To show in what a stern and reso lute spirit the active members of the Dissenting interest are now disposed to push for a relief from Church contributions, we subjoin an ad dress " to the Dissenters of Great Britain," which appeared in the Bucks Chronicle of Sa turday last, and which goes undoubtedly with out compromise or qualification to its purpose. A " passive resistance" to the demands of the clergy is urged upon the Dissenters, in imitation of time Quakers, whose refusal of tithes and resigna tion of their goods has continued so long that it may be looked upon as a " chartered libertin ism." The priesthood (established) is set at defiance in these terms :—" If the priests will have our money, let them have it as our blood. If they will have our support, let them have it at the expense of every law of hospitality, and good citizenship, by the seizure of our property and its public sale—let them seize, but who will buy ?" The whole address whence we have quoted the above sentences is couched in the same inveterate spirit ; and passages might certainly be particularized, which, ifthey could be assumed to speak the sense of the great bulk of English Dissenters, could not be read by friends of the Church of England without serious and painful feelings. From the actual state of the question what do we infer ? Is it that the Church should be overturned ? No, God for bid ; but reformed—radically reformed, purged of all those vicious and unwholesome practices which defile the appointment, the demeanour, and maintenance of her ministers, and thus restored to that high place in the affections of her members and in the respect even of those who differ from her on religious grounds, without which it is impossible for the established clergy to exercise much spi ritual influence over their own flocks, or to pos sess a solid usefulness in society at all commen surate with the sacrifices made for their subsist ence. If Government shut their eyes to the importance of this question, or to its urgency, they and the country too will have deep cause to repent it. If they suppose that the settlement of Church affairs can be postponed to some leisure hour, when other questions of foreign or domes tic policy may have been set at rest, they will repent it sorely. The nation is now as much bent upon a thorough searching purgation of the Church, as it was last year upon a reform of the constituent and representative body. They are as much averse to procrastination in the one case as in the other ; and let us hint, with the best motives to his Majesty's Ministers, that the in tegrity and permanent well-being of the Church are infinitely more dependent on a prompt and unflinching attention to this great subject, than those of our representative system would have been. The country identified itself with a good Parliamentary system. It never could Wive abolished Parliament altogether. But the coun try has almost ceased to identify itself with the Church of England, and every hour of delay in satisfying the demand for ecclesiastical Reform will be employed in reinforcing those who main tain that the best Reform of the Church would be found in the abolition of the Hierarchy.— Times.

The employers of Mr. Donald, immediately on his arrival at Hamburg from 'Mecklenburg, trans mitted his statement, which we now publish, to the British Consul-General at Hamburg, and called for his interference to procure explana tions or redress from the Mecklenburg authori ties. The Consul lost no time in transmitting the complaint ; but remained for a month without any answer. On the 10th of September, the employers of Mr. Donald again addressed the Consul, and stated that they intended to send a petition, for inquiry and redress, to the Foreign Secretary of State at home, unless they could be satisfied that the Consul's representation had complainta t strictly tl t his arrest and detention were warranted by hi s ap parent there e t e i r been attended t o .
