At length we have news from Oporto, but not of a favourable character, nor, as yet, have we obtained any authentic particulars. The Marquis PALMELLA has arrived at Plymouth, in the Superb (steamer), on Satur day evening, in four days, from Oporto, and was to set out on his journey to London yesterday morning, so that by the time we now write, he has probably arrived in town. Had he been the bearer of very important news, we apprehend that the intelligence would have been despatched by express. All we know at present is, that a letter has been received in town, dated on board the Stag frigate, off Oporto, July 31, by which it appears that Don PEDRO was then at Oporto with the army, and had not been joined by the Miguelite troops to any considerable number. The country people are said to be against him; they are arming and forming themselves into Guerilla parties. Don PEDRO is also said to be in great want of provisions, as his supplies from the interior have been cut off by the army of MIGUEL. The above information is from the partner of a most respectable house in London, who re sides at Oporto, and is, on the whole, decidedly unfavourable to the cause of Don PEDRO. Since writing the above, we have been favoured, by two other houses of the first respec tability, with the following additional informa tion from Oporto, by which it will be seen that although Don PEDRO had gained the battle on the 23d, he was not in a condition to pursue his advantage, and was consequently obliged to return to Oporto, where he is now, in daily expecta tion of being attacked by the Miguelite forces : Letter from on board the Stag frigate, dated Tuesday, July 31 :--" I write this on hoard the Stag frigate, to inform you that Don Pedro has not made any progress, nor have any troops joined him." Extract of a Letter from Oporto, dated July 30 :—" A severe engagement t oo k p l ace b etween D o n Pedro and his brother's 23d poin s ts m a s n v d hich, a lth oug h the enemy had b een b ea t en a t all were obliged to retire with great loss, Don Pedro consider e d it more prudent to return to this city after the victory than to follow it u Qdnee then they l have been busily empl oye d in alacing p :the . city of i Oporto in a position of defenc e , but from its wide spread, it s im possible to do this with effect. Since Monday last we have been perfectly tranquil,but Don Miguel's General, Po voas , h as his he q ad te n rs at Olivera dey Ernis, about six leagues distant - 'a fr r ot city, only waiting fur reinforcements to march upon it. The funeral of the Duke of REICIISTADT took place at Vienna on the 24th of July. The following extracts from the Austrian Observer pretty clearly indicates the determina tion of Austria to put down the spirit of freedom, both in Germany and Italy VIENNA, JULY 21.—We have no political news, and there is a great stagnation in public affairs, as usual at this season, when so many persons are i n t h e coun t r y, or gone to various watering places. Don Pedro's expedi tion, and the expected answer of the Conference to the proposals of the King of th e Netherlands, are subjects of general attention, and we are very anxious for the result of t hese two important contests. The frequenters of our Exchange hope the best, and our funds continue to be high ; and if the Belgian question is once so far settled that the breaking out of hostilities is not to be feared, they will rise still higher. As for Portugal, France, England, and Spain have agreed to leave the two brothers to decide the affair between themselves. In Germany it is to be hoped tranquillity will not be disturbed, and measures of severity be unnecessary : should this be the case, adequate measures have been prepared to stifle any illegal attempt at the outset. In Italy the revolutionary faction is said to have lost many of its adherents. The late events at Ancona have greatly confirmed the distrust of all those leaders who endeavour to overthrow all existing in stitutions, that they may found upon the ruins of all legal constitutions, not the good of the people, but their own advantage. The Italian Government, it is to be hoped, will profit by the good dispositions of their peo ple. By equitable concessions sought in a legal manner, they will secure the love of their subjects, and on the other hand arm themselves with the energy that is necessary to maintain public tranquillity. The manifold disasters which nations have suffered for half a century are chiefly to be ascribed to the weakness of the Governments, and it is therefore the more to be wished in the present critical times that no one may be deficient in the necessary pru dence and vigour, at the same time to preserve peace with its neighbours, and to over-awe selfish and ambitious agi tators. The organization of the Swiss troops expected in the Papal dominions, is said to be pretty far advanced, so that his Holiness will probably be at length able to do without the assistance of foreien troops. VIENNA, JULY 21.—The mortal remains of the Duke of Reiclistadt lie in state to-day in the church of the Palace. At two o'clock the heart is to be deposited in the Loretto Chapel of the Church of the Augustines, and the entrails at St. Stephen's ; and at five in the afternoon, the body will be solemnly de posited, with the usual ceremonies, in the imperial family vault in the Capuchin church. Funeral service will be performed on the 25th and 26th, at the usual hours, in the parish church of the Palace. The Court will go into mourning for six weeks.—Austrian Observer. VIENNA, JULY 25.—Yesterday afternoon, the funeral of the Duke of Reichstadt was celebrated with great pomp. The crowd to see the body lie in state was so great, that thousands could not gain admittance into the chapel. The Archduchess Maria-Louisa set out yesterday, for Persenberg, to see her august father, whence she will re turn by way of Inepruck to Parma. The Emperor and Empress will arrive at Schoenbrunn to-morrow, and go on Saturday to Baden, to which place Prince Metternich went on Monday last. His Highness the reigning Duke of Anhalt-Coethen is expected here next month, on a visit to their Majesties.-4411gemeine Zeitung, July 30. MuNictr, JULY 27.—Two editors of journals at -Nu remberg, Dr. Coremans, who has lately been released from his imprisonment, and Dr. Manso, have been ordered to leave the city and the kingdom, the former in eight, the latter in three days. Dr. Coremans will go to his native country, Belgium, and Dr. Manso to Hungary. Mr. Beddoes, an English student at Wurzburg, was or dered to quit the kingdom on account of the speeches which he made at Gaibach; but having contracted many debts, was conveyed to the prison of the circle, but bail being given for him he was afterwards released, and he im mediately left Wurzburg. We hear that the corps of 3,400 men, which is to ac company Prince Otho to Greece, will be composed of volunteers from the Bavarian array. The officers engage for two years ; during their absence they will be omitted in the army list, but on their return will be advanced one step if they have not attained a higher rank abroad.— Frankfort Papers, July 31. We have given extracts from the French Pa pers of Saturday in another column. Their contents are more contradictory than important, with the exception of the growing dissatisfaction throughout the smaller States of Germany in consequence of the odious Frankfort decree. New York Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house to the Ist of July, by the London line-of-packet ship the Hannibal, Captain HIBBERT, which is the first arrival from America for the last 23 days- By this arrival we lear❑ that the Tariff Bill has passed the House of Representatives after much sharp debate and opposition, by a majority of 55, the numbers being for the third reading 122 and 67 against it. It was however doubted if the Bill would pass the Senate. We are happy to learn by these papers that the cholera had greatly abated in Quebec. The following are extracts : (From the New York Standard of the 30th June.) Late on Wednesday, the Home ordered the Tariff Bill to its third reading by a vote of 122 to 67. A letter by post, from 'Washington, says it was impossible to carry tie amendments which were desirable, and the Bill is by no means what it should he ; but if it avert civil comtnotions, we shall have occasion to rejoice for the revision, and fur ther reductions of duties may be accomplished hereafter; but I have too much reason to fear, however, that the Bill will be lost in the Senate, but it will depend on the New England votes. Accounts from Maricaho state that the county was per fectly tranquil, but in Carracas and its neighbourhood there appears to be a want of unanimity amongst the leading men ; and several different factions exist. Two Commissioners have been appointed to go to Brogotu to endeavour to arrange the difficulties. The Congress of Carracas has dissolved without doing any thing. CHOLERA AT QUEBEC AND MONTREAL— L ATEST.--The Montreal Gazette of the 26th represents the health of that city and Quebec as rapidly improving, and the num ber of cases rapidly diminishing. Accounts from Vera Cruz, May 29, state, that the in tercourse with Mexico was still interrupted ; but a letter in an indirect route says, there was a new Ministry formed, but not acceptable to Santa Anna. The Grand Duke of BADEN has been the first to act upon that section of the Frankfort edicts which abolishes the freedom of the press. He has, it seems, on his own personal responsibility, abrogated the law lately enacted for securing it in the possession of its rightful liberty. As suredly if there be one bigger blockhead in all Germany than another, it is this GRAND DUKE. Lie has no claim on the prejudices of his sub jects on the score of birth, for he is of illegiti mate descent : he has no claim to their respect on the score of talent, for he has none ; and, as if these in themselves were not sufficient reasons to induce him to proceed with caution, another and a stronger one exists in the fact that his subjects are, for the most part, strongly imbued with sentiments of admiration for revolutionary France, on which country the state of Baden borders. Yet the GRAND DUKE heeds none of these tough stumbling-blocks, but rushes blindly forward, just as if there were not the re motest possibility of his being compelled to set out, like CHARLES the TENTH, or the Duke of BRUNSWICK, on his travels. It is astonishing what an utter absence of all ordinary sagacity European Princes take a pride in exhibiting. Crowned heads, we do verily believe, are the thickest of all heads. Experience itself, which teaches even fools discretion, seems lost on the understandings of these stultified So vereigns. Perhaps it is well that it should b e so, especially under existing circumstances, when despotism is making one more desperate hercu lean struggle to unite mankind, as of old, under its black banner. The Grand Duke of BADEN being first to storm the citadel of constitutional fredom, we wonder who will volunteer to be second in this forlorn hope ? Possibly, the King of BAVARIA, for the man who could be silly enough to perpetrate such atro cious poesy as he has occasionally done —much, we understand, to the annoyance of his courtiers, whom he compels, melancholy alterna tive, to read it—cannot but be ripe for any act that requires more than an average deficiency of brains. A Supplement to the London Gazette of Friday has just been published, containing further directions respecting the cholera, and ordering persons dying of the disease to be interred within twenty-four hours after death. AFFAIRS OF GERMANY. THIS DAY. A meeting of the nitives of Germany was held today at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Dr. Schutte, of Hei. delherg, late an assistant editor of the German Tribune, a suppressed liberal paper, in the Chair for the purpose of taking into consideration the affairs of Germany, and in particular to express the gratitude of the Germans for the sympathy expressed towards them by the English nation, in consequence of the publication of the Frankfort edicts, against the liberties of Germany. The CHAIRMAN having apologized for taking so respon sible a situation, in consequence of his defect in a thorough knowledge of the English language, stated that the meet ing was called for two objects—first, to give the Germans an opportunity of showing their interest in the affairs of their country ; and, secondly, to thank the English nation for the promptness in taking part in the affairs of Germany. Upon this latter point of the business, of course, Germans only would take a part. Europe was now again thrown into a state of political ferment, and Germany had again become the seat of internal convul sions. The people of Great Britain had already loudly protested against the horrible ordinances of the Frankfort Diet—ordinances which, if not resisted, must entomb Germany for ever, England was the grand focus of liberty, and a blow struck in London would vibrate through all the Courts and Palaces of Europe.—(Cheers.) Most of the misfortunes in Germany had arisen from ignorance, and Germans could not deny that they were slaves, before the downfall of their empire in 1806,—that they wore the badge of slavery in the time of Napoleon,—and that their slavery was confirmed by the treaty of Vienna be tween those five Powers who called themselves, with all the arrogance and pomp peculiar to Kings, the " Holy Alliance."—(Hear, and cheers.) So far from that treaty granting free institutions to Germany it was evident that it was meant to strike, and that it had actually struck, the death-blow to the German name and nation—(Cheers,) —for instead of producing that unani mity of interest so necessary to constitute a nation, it had swept Germany as a nation from the map of Europe. It was now like a bastard who cursed the name that gave it a disgraceful existence. An awful ex perience of seventeen years had convinced Germans what the intentions of those Powers were when they made that far-famed treaty. Indeed, if the treaty had been liberally fulfilled, it was not calculatsd to make a country happy. What country could be happy with thirty-nine Courts and embassies, and Princes without end. Austria and Prussia clearly wanted but to gain time so as at last in connexion with Russia to swallow up Germany. Their intentions had been attempted to be frustrated by the instrumentality of a free press, but that had failed. The conduct of the Powers themselves would, how ever, forward that object, for the late Fankfort Edicts had already won more proselytes and converts to the good cause than the free press could have done in a century— (Cheers) —and this the Germans would do well to attend to, if they did not wish to see their country Polandized. (Cheers.) In the whole vocabulary of the English language he had found no adequate expression for the enormities committed by these Royal Powers; they had been calle I robbers, detestable despots, wholesale men butch ers, but he would simply give them the name of Kings. .—(Cheers.) Agonizing madness had at length driven the people to demand their just rights; having at last been pushed to the wall, insulted, and trampled on, they found cowardice would no longer avail them, and they had learnt the indelible truth, that persecution only ceased when resistance began. --(Cheers.) The people of Germany were now conscious that the political annihilation of their Royal oppressors must form the stepping-stone to a happy era in the annals of their country.—(Hear, and cheers.) They no longer rested their claims to emancipation on the faith of treaties or protocols, after the conduct of Charles the Tenth, the division of Germany, and the extinction of Poland.—(Loud cheers.) They now knew that their claims were founded on the broad basis of justice and reason,—and they insisted, on having equal rights and privileges with the rest of Europe. Every honest German must wish to see his country extricated from the bands of Prussia and Austria, and exalted to that proud station which a country teeming with knowledge demanded. Let them first give de cided proofs of their willingness to make great sacrifices to free them from the thraldom of Austria and Prussia, and to restore their country to its ancient importance.—(Hear.) Let those powers be immolated, in the shrine for which they were destined victims, and then it might be hoped that the firmness of Great Britain and France will join hands, and compel the united efforts of the Holy Alliance to desist.—(Loud cheers.) If such was to be the case, all the shabby, petty tyrants of the Continent might spit their poison and wrath in vain. (Cheers.) He had now done, but, with the permission of the meeting, he would now read a letter which be had received from Mr. Hume, excusing his attendance that day. The chairman then read the following letter, in doing which he was interrupted at the end of every sentence, by the applause which resounded from all parts of the meeting. " BRYANSTON-SQUARE. " request you will state to the meeting, if you think it necessary to explain the cause of my absence, that I shall be in the country on Monday until late in the day, and therefore cannot attend ; but as I view with ab horrence the atrocious conduct of the three great military despots of Europe, as a conspiracy against the liberties of Europe and the right of civilized society, I approve of every demonstration of public detestation of such proceed ings ; and as the conduct of the authorities of Hanover is a disgrace to the King of England, I trust that part of the confederacy against the interests of Europe will not be forgot. " I hope every community in Great Britain will ex press frankly their opinions of the base attempt to crush the rising prosperity of Germany, and pave the way to mental darkness and military domination. And I would caution my countrymen not to be asleep at their posts, while that King, under another's name and pretence, gives countenance to such odious and dangerous measures as the protocol of Frankfort must carry into effect. " I remain, your obedient servant, " (Signed) JOSEPH HUME." Mr. GRossE in moving the first resolution, addressed the meeting at great length in German, and concluded by reading the resolution, of which the following is a ranslition : " That this Meeting of Germans feels it their duty towards the English nation, and particularly to Thomas Campbell, Esq., and H. M. Bulwer, Esq., M.P., pub licly to acknowledge the grateful feelings with which they have been inspired by the prompt and energetic testimo nials of indignation at the late flagrant attack of the Con tinental Despots on the freedom of the Press and Con stitutional rights in Germany ; and that they, as patriotic Germans, equally abhor the measures thus promulgated, which, if unrestricted, must totally enslave their country, and consequently the whole of Europe." It is said that the Speaker of the House of Commons will be created Baron LEXINGTON, of Aram, in the county of Nottingham—a title once in the possession of the SUTTON family. Sir T. DENNIAN, the Hon. Sir J. ABER CROMBIE, Mr. LITTLETON, and Mr. CHARLES WYNNE, are all, it is reported, candidates for the SPEAKER'S chair. No person is better calculated for the office than Sir THOMAS DENMAN ; but as the pension of 2,000/. a year, recently granted to the Lord Chief Baron of Scotland on the abolition of his Court in Scotland, would cease in the event of his being elected Speaker of the House of Commons, it is thought Ministers will propose him. LAPORTE is understood to have engaged ithuna.AN, as prima donna, at Covent Garden. It will be remembered that this highly•gifted cantatrice was chiefly educated in this country, and speaks English with the fluency of a native. Several water-parties and pic-nics, particularly one consisting of fifty persons, for which the R ichmond steam-boat was engaged, have been g iven up in conse quence of the prevailing epidemic. As the Marchioness CORNWALLIS was on her way to Frogmore from London, accompanied by her two daughters, Lady LOUISA was suddenly seized wilh such violent symptoms of cholera that it was found ne cessary to procure medical assistance on the ro ad, and it was some time before she was able to resume her journey. The Marchioness immediately despatched a messenger to Sir Cutouts CLARKE., who lost no time in proceeding to Frogmore, and in company with Mr. STEVENS, of Windsor, in attending her Ladyship, who, we are happy to state, is now perfectly recovered. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) EXPARTE lIURTON IN RE PARKER, A BANKRUPT. Mr. MGNTAGU supported the petition in this matter. Messrs. SwAnsosT and Bacsitaw opposed it. The f acts as stated were these :—Mr. Horton, a solicitor at Bristol, presented a petition, alleging himself to be a creditor of the bankrupt Parker, and praying for a su persedeas, on the ground that Pat ker was no trader. The Court of Review decided in favour of the petitioner, and ordered the supersedeas to issue on the 24th of June last. O❑ the 3d of July last a motion was made to the Lord Chancellor for an order to suspend the issuing of the superseders, on the ground that it was intended to appeal against the decision of the Court below. His Lordship could not interfere in that way, but directed the application to be made to him by peti tition. A petitio❑ was presented o❑ July 4, stating the facts, alleging, that it would take a considerable time to prepare a special case, that sufficient time had not been allowed for that purpose, and praying for leave to appeal, and, that until the appeal could be heard the issuing of the super sedeas might be suspended, or that the appeal might be heard forthwith. The Act of Parliament declares, that the decision of the Court below shall he reviewed by the Lord Chan cellor " upon a special case, and in no other mode what ever, except the Lord Chancellor shall in any case other wise direct ;" and the question here was, whether the Court ought to say it should be otherwise directed, merely because it had been found to be inconvenient (as alleged) to draw up the special case. The parties had taken no step towards drawing up a special case. The Loan CHANCELLOR was of opinion that there was no sufficient reason stated, even on the petition itself, why the special case should be dispensed with, or why the su persedeas should not issue. Under these circumstances, lie dismissed the petition; but as it was the first that had ever been presented of the sort, he dismissed it without costs. Had there been another of the sort presented be fore, he would have dismissed it with costs ; and should another similar to this ever come before him again, it will be dismissed with costs. _ . _ The Court was occupied all the morning in hearing Bankrupt petitions.

The following intelligence respecting Don Pedro and his army has been received at Lloyd's this morning : Plymouth, Aug. 4. 10 p. m. The Superb steamer is just arrived in four days from Oporto, with the Marquis Palmella, who proceeds to Lon don to-morrow morning with the despatches. Don Pedro was left at Oporto with the army. The above is an extract of a letter to the Secretary of the General Steam Navigation Company. ASSIZES.-(RECEIVED THIS DAY.) NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—NEWCASTLE, A uG. 4. George Weddell, who was convicted for shooting the pitman, was brought up to receive sentence. Mr. Baron BOLLAND said he believed that the prisone', when he fired off the pistol, laboured under the fear that his own life was in danger. If he had been pressed by his adversary further, he might have been justified in com mitting the offence with which he was charged, but the deceased having retired from the prisoner was a proof that th e deceased did not intend to do him any harm, and therefore the prisoner's conduct was not justifiable. At the very moment that the fatal trigger was pulled the word " fire" was given by some one, and that signal might have induced the prisoner in his agitated state to do that which in his clearer moments he would not have done. The Learned Judge concluded by passing upon the prisoner a sentence of six months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, and to be kept to hard labour. It is impossible to describe the sensation which this trial has excited in Newcastle. A great crowd of per sons were in the Court when the sentence was passed, and on hearing the mild punishment which the prisoner was to receive they hissed and groaned, and the persons outside expressed their disapprobation in a similar manner. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE 0' CLOCK. Sydney Papers to the 26th February have been re ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house, but they are not of importance ; they only communicate that two of the Civil Officers of the colony have been dis missed by order of the Secretary of State for having been declared insolvent. Hobart Town Papers to the 4th inst. have been re ceived at Sydney, but they do not contain any news. At length the ice is broken, and we have this morning two important arrivals from the westward. The first from Oporto, a steamer, with the Marquis Palmella on board, as well as a private letter from the Slag frigate, dated 31st July, with very unfavourable news from Do❑ Pedro's expedition. The second arrival, from New York, with papers of the third reading of the Tariff Bill. THE FUNDS. Consols opened at the same price they left off on Sa turday, 831 for Account. Don Pedro's scrip has fallen II- discount. HALF-PAST ONE. Accounts from Holland state, that the Dutch Govern ment are continually engaged to do everything in their power to encourage their trade. The National Bank has come to a resolution to discount at two per Cent. per annum, which gives great facility to the Dutch merchants. The news from Don Pedro's expedition is decidedly of a very unfavourable description ; although he gained an important battle on the 23d, he was obliged again to re turn to his point d'appui, at Oporto, having, no doubt, learnt that strong reinforcements were on their way to Ins brother's troops. At present it appears he cannot ad vance one mile from Oporto, and is in expectation of being attacked there. Consols are at present 83 i 7,- SI for the Account.

The salmon fishings at Banff have been unu sually successful this season. At several other places in the north, we regret to say, the success has been very in different.—Elgin Courier. The success of the salmon fishings in the Tay, within the last week, has been much greater than in any similar period for a number of years past. Th e steam packets have carried grea t quantities to the London Mai ket of late, and on Monday full grown salmon were sold in Dundee market at so low a price as 7d. per lb.-- Inverness Courier. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. In the past week the arrivals of most descriptions of Grain were much less than of late, and the return of Flour was mo derate. Up to Friday the trade continued very languid with an indication of prices being further reduced on account of the pre vious fine weather. The rain within these few days, and an other short supply of Corn to-day caused snore money to be asked for fine Wheat, but as this•moining was dry, the factors sue. ceeded only in maintaining the terms of this day sen'night, with a limited sale. Barley hardly supports its late quotations. Beans and Pease are unvaried. The quantity of Oats for sale decreases, and for fine parcels rather more money has been obtained. The Flour trade is steady at last quotations. PRICES ON BOARD OP SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) —s. —s. —White (old) —s. —s. --Red (18:31) Fine 6os. 645. Superfine 6ss. 665. White (1831) s6s. 60s. Fine 62s.

LADY BLESINGTON'S JOURNAL.—The second portion of this new and interesting record of Lord BYRON'S history, feelings, and opinions, as derived from his own mouth, appears in the number just published of the " New Monthly Magazine." The topics on which it principally touches, consist of anecdotes of great talkers, remarks on the per,onal character and fate of SHELLEY, Lord BY itoN's notions about English Women of Fashion, his opinion of Lord GREY and his Family, his description of the Countess Guicctou, his impressions respecting Mr. HOBHOUSE, his enthusiasm on behalf of Hors's " Anastasius," and his extreme sensitiveness as to his position with regard to Lady BYRON, who is the subject I of some powerful lines from his pen, which are now just published in this article. We are much gratified to find, that the ac counts received from all pasts of the country yesterday, concur in the statement that the cholera is subsiding.— Dublin Morning Register, of Saturday. It seems that Mrs. ROBERT Smrrn was in disposed at the breakfast of the Duchess of BEDFORD, where she remained till a late hour eating fruit and ice on the lawn. She afterwards attended Lord CRAVEN'S fete at Greenwich, and partook of iced champagne, when heated and exhausted. On the night preceding her death she was at the Opera, and took cold on leaving it, whilst waiting for her carriage. The first indications of her disorder pro ceeded from cramps; after which she bad several fainting fits ; and while the carriage was waiting at the door to convey her to church she sent off for the apothecary. Being church-time, it was full two hours before medical advice could be procured; during which interval she was persuaded to take an emetic, which is said to have pro duced an injurious effect. The remainder of the Marine Artillery, con sisting of 90 officers and men, with four field guns, and a rocket equipment, have been despatched in the Tyne, to the squadron under Sir PULTENEY MALcot3t, at Cork. The light vessels of this squadron are constantly cruising along the coast, and the Admiral has intimated to the magistrates of Cork that he is ready to act with the ma rines under his command upon any part of the coast where their services may be required, to co-operate with the military and police in enforcing observance to the laws, and checking insurrectionary movements.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. It will not have escaped the attention of our readers that Lord Althorp, on Thursday last, introduced into the House of Commons a Bill, limiting the future pecuniary emoluments of the Chancellor to the moderate salary of 14,000/. a year, and that on the same day Lord Brougham introduced into the House of Lords a Bill for abolishing the offices of Clerk of the Hanaper, Patentee of the Subpcena Office, Registrar of the Affidavits, Clerk of the Patents, Clerk of the Custodies of Lunatics, and Patentee for the execution of the Bankrupt Laws ; thus sepc.- rating from the Great Seal by one blow its most valuable patronage. These measures are wholly distinct, the one being by no means a conse quence of the other ; and the disinterestedness that has approved the former arid originated the latter, deserves, as we think, more attention than it has yet received, either from Whig or Tory. It is well known the Chancellor's income has hitherto been principally derived from fees, tl e amount of which, prior to the present century, was, however, much too small to afford any rea sonable remuneration for the labour of an office of so uncertain a tenure. It became, there- fore, the usage for the Chancellor to supply this deficiency by bestowing certain places in his gift so as to benefit himself or his family Thus Lord Northington, we believe, in 1766, pro vided for his three daughters, by granting the office of Registrar of Affidavits in trust for them, and similar appointments were made by his suc cessors. In the golden days of Lord Eldon, the increase in various descriptions of Chancery business productive of fees, and in the number of Private Bills in the Lords, was so immense as to yield him an income infinitely greater than that which any of his predecessors had received, and which certainly for some years did not ave rage less than 20,0001. per annum. But his Lordship did not on this account think it neces sary to give up one particle of his patronage. The Scotts, the Surtees, and the Wilsons be came familar names in Equity Practice, however unknown were the persons who had the good fortune to bear them. Parliamentary Papers, too, bear abundant testimony that Lord Eldon was not less alive to the value than to the num ber of' the places which he had the power to dis pose of; and no legal Reform, however trifling, was permitted, without full indemnity to sinecure patentees and officers whose emoluments it was likely to affect. It is unnecessary to state that this system remained unchanged during the three years that Lord Lyndhurst held the Seals ; and that Lord Brougham, as he is the first Chancellor since More who has risen and left the Court dry of causes, so is he also the first Chancellor, nor indeed idly to de nounce,but actually to abolish, a system detrimental to the public, but which has filled the coffers of his predecessors to overflowing. Although too gene rous to be rich, he hasrefused to increase his mode rate fortune, by making his officers trustees for hint of the fees which they received, determined, if any exactions were practised, it should not be said of him at least, " that he sat in judgment upon abuses, from which, if they existed, be would himself derive a benefit." Deprived of a large part of his income by a law of his own pro posing (the beneficial operation of which the commercial world has now learnt to appreciate,) he has not condescended to draw the attention of the public, or even that of his colleagues, to the loss he has sustained, and he accepts, without hesitation, a salary one-third less in amount than the income of those whom he has succeeded. But he does not stop here ; he voluntarily (and as many think unnecessarily) proposes to divest himself of lucrative appointments, that as much belong to him as any portion of the fees that may be received, before the Bill, which com mutes them for a fixed salary, shall have passed into a law. We repeat it, that this last act of the Chancellor is one that deserves the especial thanks of the nation. He had, indeed, con demned the system, but as long as it continued, —and it has not been his fault that it was not sooner altered—he had a just right to derive the same advantages from it as the Northingtons and the Eldons, and particularly when the first of the series of his Legal Reforms had mulcted him of 7,0001. per annum.—Morning. Chronicle. The expression of opinions both through the political press and the legislative representation of England, has been already loudly pronounced against the recent outrage of the Germanic Diet on German freedom. Our Government is thus supported by the moral influence of a great and enlightened people, in pressing upon the two despotic Sovereigns of the Germanic Confedera tion, the necessity of repealing their Turkish de cree against the rights and independence of their smaller constitutional confederates. It is like wise justified in every attempt which may be made by our diplomatic missions to detach the Princes of the smaller states from a policy which must inevitably endanger their present tranquil lity, and ultimately reduce them to the condition of feudal vassalage to the more powerful mem bers of their union. We cannot for a moment doubt that our Foreign Minister has already made a zealous use of these elements of influence and power, and that the secondary German Princes smoimghet a of fs wellrteh e r b taught feor mmeerd t be aa tsissoeed l i i a e t v ee e st that they might eaet like they might as well be blotted out from the list of Sovereigns—as be bound to adhere to the instrument of oppression which they have lately been compelled to sign. This part of the question, therefore, we consider as entirely set tled. Only one voice has been heard on the west of the Rhine relative to German affairs—... and that voice has been one of indignation at the audacious proceedings of the Diet, and of en couragement to those Princes or people of the Confederacy,who may, in preservation of their own and franchises, resist its tyrannical m some the doubtsreis anothielarype been arto vio f rights we the ques shall attempt to remove—another species i tit which armouro e f nin t of fightingw hic t h h s e on ea t e us d e ei e ly f our G er r i th a t freedom, and which, although it may not be requisite for accomplishing our immediate purpose, we must show that we are entitled to use, it the insolence and violence of the oppressor should warrant an appeal by their victims to our pro tection. We maintain, then, that the language and the due interpretation of treaties give us a right of forcible interference, should our moral influence and diplomatic remonstrances be de spised. As it was the German people, confi dently relying on the promises of constitutional freedom held out by their Princes , who. mainly contribute to roll back t he inundation of French conquest,land-mark m an d p o e b w l i t e e r r , a teed one o everyf the ancient first objects of the Allies when they met at Paris on the overthrow of Buonaparte, and could proceed in their turn to a new arrangement of Europe, was the reorganization of Germany.
