the health of a noble individual who baz distinguished himself more, perhaps, than anv other, in maintain ing the dignity and independence of the county of Durham, and in advancing the cause of Parliamen tary Reform. I am quite sure that, on these grounds, the name of Lord Durham will be received with acclamations by all who hear me.—(Loud cheers.) I have had the good fortune to witness the conduct of :hat noble Lord since his entrance into public life. I remember the first speech he made—at the anni versary of Charles James Fox; and at that time he made a declaration in favour of Reform, so full of spirit and eloquence, that it drew down a degree of applause which showed the state of public feel ing in its favour, and stamped, at once, the cha racter of Mr. Lambton.—(Cheers.) I have wit. nessed his career as a representative of the county of Durham, as which he was ever foremost in fighting the battles of the people.—(Cheers.) In a peculiarly forcible and fearless manner he resisted those oppressive measures of the Castlereagh Ad ministration commonly denominated the Six Acts. For his conduct on that occasion, and for the part he took in calling a public meeting to inquire into the transactions at Manchester, and to petition for redress of that outrage, he was opposed its 1820 by the whole power of the Tories and the Church, but was gloriously triumphant. A noble scion of that stock has alluded to that election as a presage of his own future success, as I trust it will be. Never was such enthusiasm displayed, never did electors so rally round a representative as on that occasion ; and many of you, who went from Gateshead to Durham, must remember it as one of the most heart-stirring sights ever beheld.—(Cheers.) Op posed by the whole weight of Tory influence, a large subscription was raised to resist him ; but the spirit of the freeholders triumphed over all opposition. And now that the same resistance is offered, who can doubt that the same result will follow ? (Cheers.) Though Lord Durham has since been raised to the honours of the peerage, he has ever retained the political principles with which he set out in life.—(Cheery.) He is now on a mission to S?. Petersburgh ; the nature of that mission is un• certain; but I am confident, that if the moral power of this empire can cement the peace of Europe, pro mote the happiness of mankind, change the crooked policy of Russia, or secure a suffering people from tyranny and desolation, all that can be effected will be accomplished by Lord Durham, supported as he is, by the wishes and influence of Earl Grey.— (Cheers.) The inhabitants of Gateshead are parti cularly indebted to the Noble Lord. To no man do they owe so much as to him, for his successful as sertion of their right of representation, alike on the grounds of population, trade, and the efficiency of the Constituent body—a body than whom, I feel as sured, the electors of no borough in the kingdom will more justly do their duty to themselves and the country at large. I beg you will drink the health of Lord Durham, with all the honours you can pay to the toast. " The health of Lord Durham" was then drank with great enthusiasm and deafening applause. Mr. LAMBTON is always a pleasure to hear one's brother praised, though that praise be only connected with the common occurrences of private life. But to hear my noble relative praised as he has been praised here, by my friend Dr. Headlam, this night—to hear him praised for having, during tie whole time he represented the county of Dur ham, done his duty with distinguished ability, un blemished honesty, and unwearied zeal, both as re gards the local advantages of the county arid the ge neral interests of the country—to hear him praised not only for this, but for being one of the most ac tive, determined, and unflinching framers of the Reform Bill—this combination of praise inspires, in my breast, a feeling of pleasure and delight which I cannot find words to express.—(Cheers.) I can assure you it is one of my brother's most pleasurable recollections, at this moment, that by his advocacy o f the Reform Bill—by his having taken the prin c pal part in the framing of this Bill, which has given to the country a Magna Charta which will permanently establish its interests and prosperity, he has greatly, mainly contributed to give to the county of Durham that share in the representation, which, by its large possession of the elements of representa tion, it was justly entitled to.—(Cheers.) And per haps, at this very nv , ment, while far distant from his native country, he is deriving pleasure from thereflec tion, that, in it, his name is not mentioned without some slight degree of respect, affection and gratitude. —(Cheers.) If any proof wire wanting that my brother was an active, determined, and unyielding framer of the Reform Bill, 1 have it in one fact— the intense hatred that the Tory Boroughmongers bear him.—(Loud cheers.) Nov, that intense hatred makes me most unspeakably proud of my brother ; for it proves, beyond the possibility of doubt, that he deserves his country's praise, and his native county's love.—(Renewed cheers.) That hatred he treats with the most ineffable scorn—the most unspeakable and sovereign contempt. He looks fiirward only to following the great path he has cho sen for himself, and exclaims with the poet— " Thy spirit, Independence, let me share, 6 ' Lord of the lion heart and eagle eye ; " Thy steps I'll follow with my bosom bare, " Nor heed the storm that howls along the sky." ( Great applause.) He heeds not the storm of Bo roughmongering abuse, but glories in it ; because he knows that with it he has the public regard.— (Cheers.) He has marked out for himself a great path, which I know he will continue—the path which should be that of every British patriot states man.—(Cheers.) He has no object--I say no ob ject be has but the public good—he asks no support but public opinion—he seeks no reward but the public regard.—(Loud cheers.) And if I may judge from the bunt of enthusiastic cheering which bailed his health in this room, coming, too, from an assemblage of gentlemen animated by as pure a spirit of patriotism,and by as enlightened feelings, as are to be found in any other part of the empire, my brother has obtained that which is the highest object of his de sires.—(Cheers.) Dr. Headlam has also alluded to him as having been the defender of the borough of Ga►eslread. He has alluded rather, I should say, to his triumphant vindication of Gateshead. Now, during the whole time that the Reform Bill was under discussion, Gateshead was the object of ca lumnies—the most shameful and unjust calumnies, from an infuriated and exasperated, but thank God an expiring faction.—(Cheers.) And if I might— if it would not appear impertinent interference and impertinent advice, on my part, I would say, let those calumnies have but one effect on the inhabi tants of Gateshead—that of inciting them to use their privileges in a manner calculated to show that they are not only as well qualified to possess them as the inhabitants of any other town in England, but that they are still better qualified.—(Cheers.) Let Gateshead hereafter be celebrated for the superior eloquence, patriotism, and statesman-like ability of its representative—for the superior enlightenment an'e,"morality of its inhabitants, even of the very lowest—for the excellence of its schools, and the liberality and benevolence of its institutions—let it thus entitle itself to the praise and admiration of all, whether neighbours or strangers; and be this the only answer the inhabitants of Gateshead will condescend to give to the shameful and contemptible calumnies that have been levelled at their character.—(Cheer lug.) I will now only say, that I am sure that when my brother shall be informed how cordially you greeted the mention of his name, the fact will add to those feelings of kindness, esteem, and regard which he has invariably borne towards the inhabitants of Gat eshead.—( Cheers.) Mr. G. l-Ltwxs proposed " the health of the Marquis of Cleveland," which was drank with three times three. Mr. W. WILLIAMSON gave " the newly enfran c•hised Boroughs," in a short speech ; and Mr. Rus sell Bowlby returned thanks on behalf of the Bo rough of South Shields. We understand that several excellent speeches were afterwards delivered, and many appropriate toasts drank; but as we were compelled, by other claims upon our attention, to leave the room at a comparatively early hour, we are unable to lay any further report of the proceedings before our readers. FRANKFORT, SEPT. 10. The freedom of Germany has received an other blow, administered by the Government of Baden, which seems now most disposed of all the petty states to carry into effect the orders of oppression issued by the Diet. Intelligence has reached this city, that the University of Freiburg in Brisgau on Friday last closed for an indefinite period. This University was a Catholic one, ar.d the most remarkable for liberality of all in Germany. Its professors, and in particular Rotteck, Welcker, and Duttlinger, who are be sides members of the Second Chamber of the Grand Duchy, are known, respected, and be loved, for their writings in favour of freedom, all over Germany. The University is stated to be closed in order to allow the now slavish Ministry to expel from among the professors and students all those whose talents they cannot subdue to their own principles. This news, like many others, is most gratiing to the Ger mans, who say, " We must bear this, and even more, before the reaction takes place ; but we betide our tyrannic rulers when it does." Numbers are preparing to quit their country for the American States, and that painful reso lution is brought about by the present political oppression, and by the anticipated horrors of a bloody revolution. In Rhenish Bavaria asso ciations are forming for the purpose, and a depu tation is said to be in readiness to start for the United States, in order to have a communica tion with the President and Government of that country, and to purchase tracts, which are to be peopled from hence, and to be called " New Germany." Formerly the exiles were persons who went to seek fortune's favours; now, from some districts near the Rhine, 15 persons, who each possess from 3,0001. to 4,0001., are making all ready. It is even said that wealth will leave that district, in the hands of a few families, to the amount of 100,000/. ; a considerable sum for Germany, which is to be deserted, because the people are treated with injustice. An alarm has been spread here for the per sonal security of individuals. A brochure has been circulated in the Duchy of Nassau, which treats with great justice, and of course with , everity, the Government, and also the Minister Von Marschall. I have not seen the publica tion, as it is said, moreover to be an invitation to revolt. The Ministry, or rather the Mi nister, for Von Marschall is all in the Duchy, as well as agent at the Diet, who is known for his absolute principles, has laboured much to obtain a clue not only to the means of circula ,ion, but of printing and publishing it. A young man, who had procured a copy of it, has been arrested in this city, and is about to be 'urrendered to the Nassau Government, in order to be compelled, by imprisonment, &c. to state the names of the printers, &c. The greatest strictness prevails in the Cus tom-houses, where all packages and bales of printed goods are examined, and seized, if sus pected even, by. the ignorant custom-house officers. The Prussian Government is particu larly on the alert, for it fears the expression of public opinion. The parcels belonging to per sons coming from Baden towards Frankfort, are most rigidly searched in Hesse-Darmstadt, and the mail-coach covering over the luggage on the top is plumbed, in order to prevent smug gling the prohibited publications, as well as other commodities. It is ridiculous to see the bullocks coming from Wurtemberg (three days' journey) for slaughter here, with a piece of lead dangling about their horns, to indicate that they have not been smuggled, nor smugglers, on passing through Hesse. Such is the strange nature of commerce and of freedom in this country. Who can wonder at the agitation which prevails ? The Austrian Observer has published the resolutions of the 28th of June, but in a man ner which leaves the subjects of that empire as ignorant of them as before. The Austrian Observer says that those resolutions have been sent in circular notes to all the proper enzployes. They, no doubt, will not make them known.— The reason of this caution is to prevent the people of the interior from knowing the illegal oppression practised on the remaining parts of Germany. However, the inhabitants of Upper Austria, of Tyrol, &c., have learned the fact, and are not otherwise contented. Hence there is a strong force in that direction. 'When some cor respondent at Berlin stated, in a letter published in the Augsburg Gazette, that the Great Powers were about to make laws for Switzerland, the Swiss took umbrage ; but Metternich appeased them a little by telling them that there were in reality but 7,000 men in the Voralberg, &c., whereas it is known, from the best sources, there are 27,000 in that neighbourhood. Metternich is anxious to catch the Swiss in his toils ; but France is supposed to be more on the alert there than in Germany. In Berlin great activity prevails in the arrange ment of the army (of the Diet), which, it is supposed, will be soon called into requisition by some movement of the smaller States ; for it is evident that the great intriguers are employed in seeking some occasion to take possession of the principalities and other independent States. In order to gull John Bull, and to amuse France, they have kept up the farce of a Conference in London, while in Berlin and Vienna they are carrying on their own schemes. The arrange ment of the telegraph from Berlin to Cologne is continuing with repeated energy : it will be in full activity in February next. The newspapers are in general dull, and filled occasionally with blank lines, to indicate the se verity of the censorship. Even the proprietor of the Allgenzeine Zeitung of Augsburg, the great bookseller Cotta, seems frightened lest his paper should be suppressed ; for, as it is rumoured, new sacrifices are to be made of the few public journals worth perusal. NICE DISTINCTION.— Lord BYRON de scribes a " Hell" to be a gaming house so called, where you risk little, and are cheated a good deal ; and a " Club" as a pleasant purgatory, where you lose more, and are not supposed to be cheated at all. - - A circumstance of an extraordinary kind, says a contemporary, occurred a few days since on the Hill at Jersey. In one of the tents where a sick woman was lying, there was an immense number of flies, the interior of the top being covered with them. The unfortunate patient survived hut a short time, an•l the body remained in the tent. On going to remove it for in'erment, some few hours afterwards, the ground was found covered with the flies all dead, and not one was to be seen alive in the tent. SUBTILTY AND PRUDENCE.—A poor man in Paris, being very hungry, stood so long in a cook's shop, who was dishing up meat, that his stomach was satisfied with the smell and the effluvia arising from the victuals, anl the choleric cook demanded cf him to pay for his breakfast. The poor man refused ; and the controversy was referred to the deciding of the next man who should pass by, who chanced to be the most notorious idiot in the whole city. He, on the relation of the matter, deter mined that the poor man's money should be put between two empty dishes, and the cook should be recompensed by hearing it gingle, as the poor man was satisfied with the smell of the cook's meat. This anecdote is affir med by credible witnesses as no fakle, but an absolute fact. , , _ nt4".4./3. ~41. AA =tin. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1832. The public will be gratified at learning that the official accounts received by our Government from Oporto are quite as favourable as those which were promulgated by the Marquis of PAL-. MELLA. Oporto is in a perfect state of de fence, with three lines of fortifications, and a determined garrison ; and the city is so well pro visioned, that meat is at little more than 2d. per lb. ; flour cheap and abundant ; and fruit to be had at prices which are almost nominal. In ad dition to this, we are enabled to state, that the last letters of Sir JOHN CAMPBELL to the party of an Illustrious Duke, who takes great interest in Don MIGUEL, are very discouraging to the partisans of the Usurper. In short, nothing but treason or cowardice can now prevent the success of Don PEDRO, and we trust there is no danger of either. We understand that some of the merchants interested in the communication with Oporto, intend to make a representation to the Duke of RICHMOND on the subject of the high rate of charge for passengers by the steam-packets to that city. Sixteen guineas for the passage from Falmouth to Oporto in the sailing-packets was not exorbitant, for those vessels were sometimes three weeks on the voyage, during which the passengers were provided with every thing; but now that the voyage is regularly performed in four or five days, half the sum charged would be a liberal rate of payment. On the side of jus tice, we think the merchants and others who have occasion to visit Oporto, have a right to expect a diminution of half the pre sent charge ; but justice is not the only ground on which an appeal may be made to the Post- Master-General. There are many Portuguese patriots anxious to return to their native coun try, and to assist in the good cause, who are unable to pay so large an amount of passage money, and on their account, as well as the broad question of principle, a change is desir able. Considering how readily the Duke of RICHMOND attends to every reasonable sug gestion on the matters connected with his depart ment, we are inclined to think that having thus directed the attention of his Grate to the sub ject, no formal application will be necessary. It is with great pleasure that we contradict, on authority, the report of the death of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, from cholera. By letters from Devonshire this morning, it appears that his Lordship has heel an attack of the prevailing malady, but that he is recovering. As the ge. neral health of the Noble Lord has, however, been for some time past unsatisfactory, it will probably require several weeks to restore him from the debility occasioned by attacks of this character. Perhaps there is no public man in whose welfare the public feel a more lively in terest than Lord JOHN RUSSELL. It would be lamentable, indeed, to see the author of the Reform Bill in his tomb before he could witness the operation of an Act for which the public are in a great degree indebted to his patriotism and intrepidity. By the spirit that animates the Gateshead and Tower Hamlets Reform dinners—reports of both of which will be found in another part of The Sun—as well as by the energy and quickwittedness that have made themselves ma nifest in the numerous Reform celebrations that have taken place in different parts of the country, north, south, east, and west, within the last few weeks, it will be seen that Reform works in a proper spirit ; that its energies are directed into a proper channel ; that it is neither torpid, nor asleep, nor stationary, but every where making sure head against the frauds and the intrigues, and the menaces and the coaxings of the false and plotting Tories. These men, we know— and we proclaim the fact to the people by way of timely warning—think that so far from the game being « up," as Lord LYNDHURST and the Earl of CARNARVON, the one with affected despair, and the other with affected gentleness and humi lity, while his face grew livid with passion, as serted, in the House of Peers, that it was ;—the Tories, we repeat, are so far from thinking that the game is up with them, that they actually imagine it is still in their own hands. They are led to this conclusion by what they conceive to be the universal lethargy and indifference that the people exhibit, as regards their right of voting, and their choice of candidates for the ensuing elections. But, here, the Tories, as they usually do, grossly deceive themselves. It is not the nature of John Bull to make a boast or a noise of what he is doing, or of what he intends to do ; but to make a quiet, unostentatious use of his strength; to work in silence, but with me thod, and deliberation, and perseverance. It is in this spirit that he is now at work with Reform. His energies just now run in a sort of subter ranean current ; but this current is, nevertheless, deep, broad, rapid, and making decisive way. Throughout the county of Durham the progress of Reform is most satisfactory. There, the church party, though backed by all the influence arising from enormous wealth and desperate pertinacity, are clearly losing ground, while the Reformers are rapidly gaining it. We state this on the authority of the majority of the speakers at the Gateshead festival. At this meeting justice was done, but not more than he merits, to the extraordinary exer tions displayed by Lord DURHAM through out the late vehement struggle for Reform. " I can assure you," said his brother Mr. LAMBTON, " it is one of my brother's most pleasurable recollections, at this moment, that by his advocacy of the Reform Bill—by his having taken the principal part in the framing of this Bill, which has given to the country a Magna Charta which will permanently esta blish its interests and prosperity, he has greatly mainly contributed to give to the county of Durham that share in the representation, which, by its large possession of the elements of re presentation, it was justly entitled to.—(Cheers.) And, perhaps, at this very moment, while far distant from his native country, he is deriving pleasure from the reflection, that in it his name is not mentioned without some slight de gree of respect, affection, and gratitude. — (Cheers.) If any proof were wanting that my brother was an active, determined, and unyield ing framer of the Reform Bill, I have it in one fact—the intense hatred the Tory Boroughinon gers bear him. Now, that intense hatred makes me most unspeakably proud of my bro ther ; for it proves, beyond the possibility of doubt, that he deserves his country's praise and his native country's love.—(Renewed cheers.) That hatred he treats with the most ineffable scorn,---the most unspeakable and sovereign con tempt. He has marked out for himself a great path, which I know he will continue, the path which should be that of every British patriot statesman." We should be glad to see Lord DURHAM at the head of the Foreign Department. He pro sesses, in an eminent degree, those two valuable qualities, energy and decision ; and when fixed in that high, responsible office, might plead the cause of humanity with NICHOLAS far more efficiently than he is likely to do as at present situated. But to the subject more immediately before US. Mr. CUTHBERT RIPPON, it seeres, is sure, or all but sure, of his election for Gateshead. This is cheering news. A more intrepid, conscientious Reformer than this gentleman, never yet entered St. Stephen's. The following are extracts from German Papers received this morning Faam THE MAINE, SEPT. 6.—The German Diet has under c onsideration a general law on literary piracy (i. e. the printing of pirated editions), which is likely to be car ried into effect earlier than was expected, as Austria has assented to it for its German States. This is an impor tant step towards a closer re-union of the States of Ger many, and we hope that it will be the harbinger of other arrangements for the interest of our common country. The book trade will gain new life by it, and authors fresh mi rage and motives to exert themselves. The law relative to the Press will, it is said, be determined on sooner than we have hitherto had reason to hope; the commercial affairs of Germany are likewise under serious consideration, and the proposal of Hanover meets with 0.1 - eat support, so that a favourable arrangement on this subject may also be hoped for. The German Universal Gazelle, published in Stut gard, and theVolkspeand (Friend of the People) pub lished at Hildburgliausen, and edited by the ingenious Meyer, are to be suppressed. It seems, therefore, that the C ensors hip is not a sufficient guarantee, since papers subjected to it (the two in question showed frequent marks of lbs ravages) are suppressed. In the Duchy of Nas sau, an invitation to the people not to pay taxes is propa gated. The Government of Nassau has caused very strict investigation to be made, and we hear that it has found a clue to discover the persons who spread the invitation, and several arrests have taken place. —Nuremberg Corres pondent, Sept. 10. BERLIN, SEPT. 2.—The tranquillity which now every where prevails, and has silenced the fears of a general war, that were entertained in the spring, affords a welcome proof of how much may be done by judicious policy and able diplomacy. It is owing to these alone that Europe is not in flames, and that civilization is not a prey to anarchy. The much-abused Conference of London has attained its object; it has found means to reconcile, in an amicable manner, the most conflicting interests and diverging poli t;cal tendencies, and has averted from the European States dangers in which they must have been plunged but for the prudence of the Members of the Conference, and that of the Cabinets. We cannot, therefore, sufficiently thank the Conference for adopting, and steadily pursuing, a system which will give general secu rity, and defeat the exertions of the parties that wish for war. But the work would be only half done if it did not pursue its labours and secure the still precarious state of Europe against contingencies that might suddenly oc cur, and in spite of all that has yet been done might again kindle into a flame the passions that have been scarcely allayed. With this view it is affirmed, that the Cabinets are resolved to co-operate with each other that the predo minant political system may not only be consolidated but extended, which would lead to the revival of the monar chical, and the slow, but certain, extinction of the revolu tionary principle which constantly degenerates into anar chy. If all the Governments can unite to solve this pro blem—if they succeed in effecting a sincere and decided agreement, there is no doubt that the excitement which indisputably exists in many countries, but has been pro. duced not by real grievances, but by the too long unpun ished influence of domestic and foreign agitators, will be at length suppressed, and the revolutionary spirit which keeps Europe under arms be quel led. One of the most distinguished dipl►matists of a northern power is said to be commissioned to open a way to arrangements on this head, by which those powers which unite together (or the continuance of the monarchical principle would enter into mutual engagements in case any opposing in fluence should interfere with the views of the cabinets so united. VIENNA, SEPT. 7.—Five per Cent. Metalliques, 87 4-5 ; Bank Shares, 1140 2-5. —AllgemeineZeitung, Sept. 12. LONDON SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) These &slim's were resumed to day, pursuant to ad journment, before the Racoaniza, and Aldermen BROWN, AINSLIE, THORPE, and WILSON. William Budder, a decrepid old man, apparently not less than SO years of age, was indicted for assaulting John Courdale Kinclee, with intent, &c. &c. The prisoner pleaded Guilty. The COMMON•SERJEANT said, that he appeared for the prosecution, and desired it to be understood by the pri soner that his pleading Guilty offered no inducement to him to pray the Court for a mitigation of his punishment. The RECORDER thought the prisoner had better retract his plea, as it would not entitle him to the least indulgence from the Court, who would visit him with the same pu nishment, as if he had been found guilty by a Jury of hie country. _ . The prisoner would not recal his plea. The RECORDER-You had better reconsider your plea, prisoner. The crime with which you are charged is a disgrace to human nature, and the utmost punishment it can award will await you. Prisoner—l con►ider myself guilty, my Lord, and know that I deserve all the punishment the Court can inflict. The COMMON SERJEANT observed that the prisoner had been guilty of the same offence previously, and had been put its the pillory. The REcoanEa sentenced him to two years' imprison ment in Giltspur-street Compter. _ _ Thomas Brown was indicted for assaulting Joseph Weymouth and Richard Hatton, two privates in the Guards, on the sth of September, aad calling them two - lobsters. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to six weeks' imprisonment in Giltapur. street Compter. James Hart was indicted, for the fifth time, with as saulting his wife, Mary Hart, and beating her in the most dreadful manner. From the statement of the wife it ap peared that she had bad thirteen children by Hart, who was a most brutal, drunken, and idle fellow, and had not for the last five years contributed one shilling to the sup port of his wife or children. Witnesses clearly proved the assault. The prisoner said that it was his wife that ill-treated him ; that she was quite a favourite with the parish-offi cers, and thought, therefore, that she had a right to ill-use him. The wife said that she had never received any relief from the parish, bad kept her children by her own in du►try, and only wished to get rid of the annoyance from her husband. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty, and The RECORDER sentenced him to one years' imprison ment in Giltspur-street Compter, to enter into his own security to the amount of 101. not to break the peace against his wife again, and to be imprisoned till security to that amount be gives. William Wilson was indicted for assaulting Henry Wood, in St. Paul's Church-yard, with intent, &c. &c. The case was clearly proved against the prisoner, whose only defence was drunkenness, which was contradicted by the prosecutor and a watchman. The prisoner, it was stated, had given a fictitious name in order to avoid disgracing his friends, who are highly respectable. The Jury found him Guilty, and the Court sentenced him to two years imprisonment in the Giltspur-street Compter. The COURT then discharged the Jury, and proceeded with parish appeals. Nothing of any public importance came before the Court previous to our Reporter leaving. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS lank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. 3 per Cent. Cons. MX% 3% per Cent.

As every person in the country is more or less interested in the question of the Bank Charter, the paramount im portance of this publication will be evident at once. The Parliamentary Report is not yet in the hands of all the Members of the House, and the utmost difficulty has been experienced in procuring even fragmentary portions of it at intervals. The extracts that have been published in some of the daily journals, and from thence transferred to the columns of the provincial papers, are invariably imperfect and disconnected, and given without refer ence to continuity or unity of plan. Besides, the im mense mass of matter contained in the Report rendered it necessary to continue the extracts from day to day ; but even then, without a hope of satisfactorily concluding the publication within a reasonable period of time. The digest to be published in THE ATLAS, of SErrnmea the 23d, possesses the double advantage of not only preserving the order of the evidence unbroken, hut of giving the whole evidence at once and unmutilated. Extraordinary pains have been taken in its preparation. Experienced and skilful gentlemen have been engaged in this laborious duty ; and it is believed that a document more worthy of general attention has never before been issued in the columns of a periodical. By great diligence tnd exertion it has been completed in time to reach all parts of the United Kingdom many weeks before the infor mation it contains could, by any other means, be laid be fore the public. Published at the ATLAS Office, Beitifort-House, Strand. 01 ders received by all Booksellers and Newsmen. The Great Charter of 1832, containing the Three Re form Bills, and the History of Reform, has been reprinted, and may be had of all Booksellers and Newsmen. HATTON GARDEN-(THIS DAY). Frederick Bedell, Wm. Saunders, alias Jones, and John Brown, were put to the bar, charged with the fol lowing robberies:— Mr. William Pritchard, an old gentleman, stated, that about eight o'clock last evening, he, along with his daugh ter, was waking up Holborn, when, opposite the end of Hatton Garden, he was pinioned behind by one man, while another came before him and took his watch, with which he ran off up Hatton Garden, followed by the witness calling out " stop thief!" The other prisoners were in company with the man Saunders, who snatched away the watch. The prosecutor's daughter corroborated the above state ment. The porter of Ely-place heard the cry of " stop thief," and saw the prisoner Saunders running. He turned down Ely-court, and there fell over a boy, when witness made up to him, and took him into custody. The watch (a gald one) was found this morning within a yard of where the prisoner was taken. The outer case was gone. The other prisoners followed to the station-house, and were very busy in the matter altogether. Thomas Luckin, another• old gentleman, was then sworn, and stated that on the sth of September he was in Gos well•street about 8 o'clock in the evening, when he was stopped and rubbed of his watch. He followed the man who took it, when another ran before him to stop him. lie struck this man with his umbrella, when be was im mediately knocked down and kicked while on the ground. His arm was put out, and altogether be was so much hurt, as not even yet to be able to attend to any business. (The witness' arm was in a sling ) Bedell and Saunders were the men. Saunders took the watch, and Bedell knocked him down. It appeared that these men formed past of a well known and:desperate gang of theives. There were a great number of witnesses in attendance, but the cases were re manded for a week, by which time the police expect to be able to bring home, not only these charges but others to them. They were well known by the officers. CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH. COUNCIL OFFICE, WHITEHALL.—(THIS DAY.) DAILY REPORT of CHOLERA CASES. COUNTRY.

Prince to the 6th August, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The above papers do not contain later information than received by the recent arivals of the American papers. . . By the French mail, this morning, accounts from Brussels state that the despatches brought there by M. Goblet relate to a suspension of arms for six months, under the guarantee of the five Powers. Some of the French papers state, that there is a division in the French Ministry; that M. Dupin wishes to exclude from the Ministry M. Barthe, Montalivet, Sebastiani, and Girod, and that the above Ministers have formed an alliance with Guisnt, Bertin, and Thiers, whom they wish to bring into the Council. At the same time, Soult, Rigny, and Louis, have made an arrangement with Dupin. Letters from Germany state a report that the King of Prussia was seriously indisposed. THE FUNDS. At length the Post-office has given notice that a mail will be made up for Oporto and Lisbon every Tuesday until further notice. This arrangement will be a great accommodation to the merchants, and by which convey ance we shall receive more frequent information from the seat c f war. We are exceedingly slack of arrivals and news from all quarters this morning. Consols opened at the price they left off at yesterday, 841- to 85, at which price they continue, with nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. In the abseace of official information from the theatre of war in Portugal, we are eager to glean from our va rious sources of information every thing that is going for ward on the part of the contending partite, and we under stand that an agent of Don Pedro has left for the conti nent, to contract for a number of foreign troops, who have already served in various wars, and if he succeeds, no doubt they will be conveyed in steamers and other fast sailing vessels to Oporto. We also hear that there is going to be a purchase of another large vessel. We have been favoured with a perusal of a letter from trot of and without . the town, not only I v ii a g r h iou s s to noel streets, w hich present fortified state of Oporto, which is stillOai ien p cm o o riuentnnotts,eserb interesting, o and n a d later cn fi da rn., te s th in an ev t e h r os y e deg las r t ee received. the Previous t i s h w ic i h th co e m m- . municate with the large s treets . by bridges, in case the enemy should attack with great force at a certain point of the town, so that the soldiers of Pedro can also act in force, by passing over these bridges to the point attacked.

The letter adds, that they do not think that the Miguelites will be so mad as to make a serious attempt to tak e O porto. Letters from Paris state that the cholera had reached Toulouse, in the south of France.
