It was incorrectly stated yesterday in the City th a t the Portuguese Ambassador, the Conde de PUNCIIAL, had received despatches from Oporto by the Water Witch. Neither the Ambassador L4or the Charge d'Affaires, the Chevalier de IMA, has received any account from Oporto of 8 later date than the 30th ult. e are happy in being enabled to state, from le best authority, that the assurances which irince TALLEYRAND has made to Earl REY and Lord PALMERSTON, i n the ame of the new French Cabinet, are, in the ighest degree, satisfactory. The union between he two countries is drawing closer and closer, Pend at this moment the Cabinets of St. James's :and the Tuileries are arranging the measures necessary to be adopted against Holland in the event of the continued refusal of that power to treat with Belgium, without refer ence to the other Powers who have been 'Parties to the attempt made to terminate tithe disput e b y a system of Protocols. We do .not apprehend, however, that there will be any se rious opp os i t i on on the part of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, when they see that the Cabinets of France and Great B r it a i n are d eterm i ned to maintain that faith towards Belgium which the others have ao shamefully forfeited.

The g eneral thi s country is opini on , not on l y i n Paris, but in c annot that th e new F rench Ministry „ last, , long. The Docirinnaires in at ra nee ans wer to t h e Ultra Tories inEnd, their merits and demerits are so much canvassed anothe r part of The Sun, we shall not ti'llarge on th e su bj ect. Our only wonder is tlat Louis PHILIPPE should persist so invete ' 4 k t elY in call ing men to hi s councils whose tis iti er Publi c recommendation appears to be nlleir antipathy to the Revolution of July, the national distrust, if not detes t 4 in, of th e i r political character. As their private character, we b e li eve th a t !l i i tae of th em are men of high and unbl em i s h e d our, especially the Duke d e B ROGLIE. We tik it may yet be worth the Citizen KING'S .easideration to look round and ask whether be politic to proceed in a course which it may be found ere long imprac ticable to retrace. Human patience may be safely provoked while it endures, but whoever oversteps the bounds of prudence trespasses on those of danger. The grand se cret consists in knowing when the measure of bitterness will hold no more. And can the present K ING venture so far? Among the subscribers to the monument of the late Sir WALTER SCOTT, we find his Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUGH, with a donation at tached to his name, of one hundred sovereigns— which is just five sovereigns less than Mr. CA DELL, the bookseller, has subscribed, and pre cisely the same sum that the Edinburgh Theatre has come forward with. We must confess we are as much pleased with the generosity of the tradesman and the manager, as we are surprised at the exceeding prudence of the Duke, whose contribution bears about the same propor tion to his princely means as one of half-a-crown would bear to an income of a thousand a year ! We can only account for this singularly economical donation, on the supposition that his Grace intends, should the subscriptions not answer expectation, to make up the deficiencies from his own purse. Other wise, he would surely have come forward with his thousand or two thousand pounds, which, after all, is little more than the sum paid by many of our aristocrats for a race-horse, or the use of a sporting manor for the season, and could scarcely be felt by one whose annual rent-roll is, we understand, considerably above two hundred thousand pounds ! When we read his Grace's speech, which overflowed with strong and just sensibility, and in which he talked of the esteem and warm regard which he felt for Sir WALTER SCOTT, with whose friendship he had been honoured— and it was indeed an honour which even the greatest Duke that ever lived might have been proud of !--from earliest infancy, we felt con vinced that such generous sensibility would have a proportionate effect on the pocket, and draw forth, as a natural and inevitable result, a sub scription of at least a thousand pounds. How, then, have we been surprised at finding that all this parade of sentiment was merely the precur sor of a donation of a hundred pounds, which an Edinburgh bookseller and an Edinburgh manager have furnished, without saying a single word about the matter ! If we are to take his Grace's subscription as a test of his sensibility, we shall be strongly tempted to suspect that by far the greater portion of it has evaporated dur ing the process of speechifying, and that the hundred pounds is merely the small residuum. But the most charitable, and we doubt not the most correct, supposition is, that his Grace means to come forward with another subscription, better proportioned to his feelings as a friend, his rank and opulence as a Peer, and his pride of name and clanship as a SCOTT, than the pre sent astounding pittance.

These Sessions were re , utoed mnrning before F. CON3T, Esq. and a full Bench of Magistrates. We be lieve the Calendar at this time is light, as compared with former Sessions. Louis Huntute, a respectable French gentleman, was Indicted for violently assaulting Rosa Auberte, also a na tive of France, in the month of August last. Mr. PHILIPS, for the prosecution, said the prosecutrix was engaged by the defendant in France, as waiting maid to his wife. She accompanied them to this country, but not finding her situation agreeable she left it, which so enraged the defendant, that he allowed his temper to get the better of his discretion, which was the cause of his now standing at the bar. At the time the prosecutrix left her situation, there was a sum of money owing to her for wages, which he refused to pay. On a subsequent day she applied for the money, amounting to 101 francs. The defendant alleged that he only owed her 58, for which he desired a receipt. She wrote one for the 58 franca on account, which again was displeasing to the defendant, who snatched it away, and said he had now got both the receipt and the money, took hold of her arm, and shoved her so that she fell down ; he then pushed her out of the room with his hands and feet. She had never since that time received a farthing of her money, and as she was in a vrange country the conduct of the defendant was more blameable. The prosecutrix, a pretty brunette, was then called, but as she neither understood or could speak a word of English, Isidore Marchant was sworn as interpreter, and through him she proved the case as opened by Mr. Mr. DON appeared an behalf of the defendant, and offered to pay the 58 francs, which was all that was due. The CHAIRMAN said, the parties had better try anal settle among themselves, as it seemed more a matter of ac count than any thing else. The prosecutrix slid, she wished no more than her due, and had never asked for more. It was then arranged that the defendant should pay the 101 francs, and when be had satisfied the prosecutrix he would be again brought up to receive judgment for the assault, of which be was found guilty, which would be only nominal. SOUTHW ARK SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.) This morning, among the prisoners who were arraigned, the following pleaded guilty, and received sentence:— Ann Darling, for stealing, on the 13th of September, a table cloth and some wearing apparel, the property of her master, was sentenced to two months' hard labour. Mchael Spence, indicted for burglary. The Re corder, having in vain requested him to reconsider his plea, sentenced him to be transported for seven years. George Jarman, charged with embezzling money to a considerable amount, the property of Mr. Benjamin Edginton, to whom be was clerk. The RECORDER said there were no less than seven indictments against the prisoner, which showed to what an extent he had robbed his master. The sentence of the Court was, that he be transported for 14. years. John Claridge, for stealing a piece of pork, the pro perty of Joseph Deal, and Benjamin Edwards, for steal ing a bushel of apples, the property of Henry Dark Pym, pleaded Guilty, and were sentenced to be imprisoned for seven days in the Borough Cotnpter. George Hill was indicted for stealing a half sovereign in gold, and 17s. 6d. in silver, the property of William Mitchell. The prosecutor, on the Ist of September, took the pri soner into the Talbot Inn, in the Borough, to have some beer, and while there the prosecutor fell asleep, during which the prisoner was seen to put his hand into the pro secutor's pocket; the latter felt a hand in his pocket, and it awoke him, on which the prisoner ran out of the room, and effected his escape.—Guilty. Sentence deferred. Mary Gains, aged 40, and her son, George Gains, aged only 13, were indicted for stealing a pair of boots, the property of William Everett. The female prisoner pleaded Guilty, and said her son had nothing to do with the robbery. The RECORDER ordered that the boy should be sent to the Refuge for the Destitute, or the House of Occupation, and the mother to be kept to hard labour for three months. _ . In the course of the morning the Grand Jury made a presentment of the exceedingly inconvenient and unhealthy room in which the Grand Juries fur the Borough have to perform their duty. The RECORDER undertook to lay the presentment be fore the City authorities. The Grand Jury were then discharged. GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) This Office was crowded to excess this morning with the proprietors and drivers of omnibusses, in consequence of no less than 27 summonses having been obtained against different members of that body, by the Manager of Mr. Ellis's business in Ludgate bill for obstructing the free passage there, by plying for hire and stopping longer than the time allowed by law at their booking-office. Mr. Alderman WitsoN, who it will be recollected has before expressed his determination to put an end to such nuisances in his ward, fined 19 of them in the mitigated penalty of 10s. ; one case was ordered to stand over till to morrow, and seven, who had not appeared to their summonses, were ordered to be summoned again, the Alderman stating, that if they did not then appear before him, he would issue warrants for all of them. The worthy Alderman remarked that the nuisance was now carried to such an extent, that the whole business of London would be put a stop to unless some strong measures were adopted to prevent its repetition. . . _ _ Mr. Chancellor, one of the persons fined, refused to pay. Mr. Alderman WILSON—Then take it to the Session., for I shall fine every one that is brought before me for such an offence, until my decision is revised ; and if that has not the desired effect, I shall indict you. Many of the persons summoned said that the nuisance was chiefly at Mr. Ellis's shop, where gentlemens' car riages waited for hours together. Mr. Alderman WlLsoN—That they have no right to do, bring any of such parties before me and I will fine then. Mr. Chancellor said that was next to impossible, as the coachmen only laughed at them when they asked their masters' ❑ames. Mr. Alderman WiLsow—Then get an officer to de sire th em not to o b struct the passage in the streets, and if they take no notice of that, take the carriage off to the Green-yard. This seemed highly to delight several of the d:ivers, who expressed their determitution to put the advice of the Magistrate into immediate execution. CENTRAL BOARD OF HEALTH.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. New York papers to the 22d of September, and Singa pore to the 25th of May, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. DEPARTMENT OF STATE.—Representations having been some time since made to this department that discriminat ing duties, inconsistent with the commercial arrangements with Great Britain, had been levied iu Turk's Island, and at the Bahamas, instructions were sent to Mr. Vail to lay the cause before the British Government, and express the confidence the President felt that the practice would be discontinued, and the duties improperly levied refunded. This was immediately done. (From the - Singapore Papers.) It is reported that the British Government has proposed to subdue the whole Malayan Peninsula under its sway. Should such be the intention of our rulers, we are inclined to think that such an arduous and fruitless, if not imprac ticable undertaking, will meet with a formidable opposition. COMMERCIAL REA!. A RKS.— British piece goods and cotton twist, in considerable quantities, have recently arrived by the Mersey, from Liverpool, and the Staffa, from the Clyde; but we have heard of only a few sales, the market being dull. A sale of lone cloths was effected during the week, mostly in barter for Manilla sugar. Onum.:—We understand that sales of Bengal Drug have taken place at 870 to 880 dollars the chest at the usual credit, but there is not much in the market.— Sales of 11Ialiva have also been effected at 790 to 800 dollars per ton, at 14 discount. A report prevailed that his Majesty of Siam is about to collect a large army in order to subdue the Malagan states on the east coast of the Peninsula, which have re volted from his authority. THE FUNDS. To the present hour we have no further accounts from Portugal. Consols which left off yesterday at 84i sellers for the Account, opened at S4l buyers, with litt!e or nothing doing as yet. In all probability in the course of to-morrow we shall have the Dutch King's Speech, and we may learn what effect our naval armament for the blockade of the Scheldt will have on the people of Holland. In the Foreign Market nothing doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. W e are without any political news or reports. Consols have been the whole of the morning at 84i, alternately buyers and sellers, with very little doing; but the money ma) ket h as been very good, with a scarcity of Stock. This day being a holyday with the Hebrews, few have attended the Stock Exchange. 1 In the F ore i gn M arket Portuguese Scrip has improve d —5 to 5 discount ; Dutch Stock is a shade better. In other Foreign Securities little or nothing doing. - THREE — 0' CI, CK. Consols for Account, 84i. THE LAST PROTOCOL. From the Hague corres p o n denc e extract the follow ing account of the Conference on the Ist inst. It is stated to be the concluding part of the protocol No. 70, signed on that day, and we believe it may be regarded as sub stantially correct ; at least the tone of the language attri buted to Lord Palmerston and the Fiench Plenipotentiary is perfectly consistent with the resolution which has been since adopted by the two Governments:— " The English Minister expressed his regret at feeling him self bound to notify his refusal of the propositions of the Ple nipotentiaries of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, which have been entered in the present protocol, notwithstanding that they are fully sensible of the advantage which would result from an unanimous transaction by all the members of the Conference. Influenced by the same consideration, the English Mini ster, on a former occasion, declaredihis preference of means of pecuniary pressure to measures of more forcible compulsion, in the hope that those means would obtain the approbation of the Conference. But in the present state of affairs, the English Minister is persuaded that the maintenance of peace demands decisive and prompt measures on the part of the high subscrib ing Powers to the treaty of the 15th of November, for the gua ranteed fulfilment thereof. It is painful to perceive in the propositions of the three Powers nothing that is calculated to meet the pressure of circumstances. " The propositions for continuing to negociate having been made after it had been ascertained that the negociations would be fruitless, and that all efforts on the part of the aforesaid three Courts to influence the resolutions of the Government of the Netherlands by their counsels or admonitions were vain, the English Minister cannot concur in measures tending to produce still further procrastination. Wherefore, reserving to England the right of following such course of action as may be judged proper for the fulfilment of her existing engagements, he must content himself with testifying his regret that the Ple nipotentiaries of the three Courts are not prepared to co-ope rate conjointly in efficacious means for carrying into execution a treaty which has been ratified by all the Powers, and the continuance of which in an inoperative state is daily present ing serious danger to Europe." " The French Minister.—l concur in all that the English Minister has said. Like him, I reject with regret the propo sitions of the three Courts of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and I still adhere to what I have already proposed in the Confer ence, reserving to France every competent means of action for the execution of the treaty concluded with Belgium, con sistent with the rights possessed in virtue of the obligations entered into, and in such way as the interests of France shall require." The hint here given of the non-assent of Russia, Austria, and Prussia to co-operate with England and France in coercive measures had some foundation at the beginning of the month ; hut since Lord Durham's return, the assent of those Powers has not only not been with beld, but has been cordially given,—.. Times. COURT CIRCULAR. A Cabinet Council was iieid yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office, which was attended by the LORD CHAN CELLOR, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Earl GREY, Lord DURHAM, ViSCOUD'S MELBOURNE, PALMERSTON, GODE RICH, and ALTHORP, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, the Duke of RICHMOND, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and Mr. STANLEY. The Council broke up soon after 5 o'clock. Mr. CHARLES GRANT and Lord HOLLAND were absent from the meeting; the former had not arrived from Inverness, and the latter is indisposed. Admiral Sir PULTENEY MALCOLM transacted business yesterday at the Admiralty. Sir PULTENEY was expected to leave town list night for Portsmouth. Prince TALLEYRAND, the French Ambassador, arrived in town on Sunday night. His Excellency had interviews r esterday with Earl GREY at the Treasury, and with Lord HOLLAND at Holland house, Kensington. The Prince also transacted business yesterday at the office of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Prince LIEVEN paid a visit to his Excellency. The Minister from Buenos Ayres transacted business yesteril,y at the Foreign-office. The Baron DE NIEUMANN, the Austrian Charge d'Affaires, had an interview with the Russian Ambassador at Ashburnhatn-house, yesterday. Sir EDMUND CARRINGTON, formerly a Judge in Ceylon, and recently Chairman of the Aylesbury Sessions, is the person, it is now said, who is destined to succeed Mr. CONY'', at Hick's Hall. The Warrior, Buss, from the Society Isles (68 days), arrived at Rio on the 29th of July; picked up the crew off the wreck of the English ship Science, con sisting of 15 persons, lost to the south of Van Diemen's Land.—Falmouth Packet. The English newspapers, we observe, are full of wild surmises and inferences respecting the affairs of the late Sir WALTER SCOTT. A paragraph quoted from a magazine into the Times says, with most unjust and ab surd sarcasm, that Scotland will permit Abbotsford to be brought to the hammer to satisfy the creditors of the il lustrious deceased. The truth is, there will be no need for either Scotland or England interposing to prevent such a catastrophe. Of the debts included in Sir WAL TER SCOTT'S trust deed of February, 1826, 21,0001. re main unpaid, exclusive of interest; including all other debts, the expenses of his journey, death-bed, Sze., the whole does not exceed 30,0001. Now, such are the pros pects of further profit from the cheap edition of his writings, that the family are enabled to come forward and offer to the creditors upon the trust the whole sum still due, deducting interest, which, there is no reason to doubt, will be accepted.—Advertiser. [The above, we believe, is strictly correct. Our contemporary adds, that Sir WALTER'S family may even be enriched by his writ ings if Parliament grant a renewal of the copyright ; and this may also be true, but it depends upon too many con tingencies to enter into calculations at present.] Scotsman. SIR WALTER SCOTT.—In our last we men tioned, on the authority of a cotemporary, the idea of the extension of the copyright of Sir WALTER SCOTT'S works to fifty years, so as to provide for the family. Our actual friends of the press, both here and in London, have in all these well-meant effusions run too fast. They do not stop to ask Sir WALTER ScoTr's family if the plans in view are agreeable to them—and they seem to be ignorant of what is well understood here, that Alr. CADELL, the bcokseller, is the proprietor of coo-half of all Sir WALTER SCOTT'S works, which, we think will, he an effectual bar in the way of any application to Parliament, such as is pointed at and sagely calculated on.— Scotsman of Saturday In consequence of a requisition on the part of a number of our citizens, a , ldressed to the Honourable the Loan PROVOST, requesting him to call a meeting for the purpose of considering the propriety of erecting a monument in this city to the memory of Sir WAITER SCOTT, his Lordship has appointed Thursday next, the 19th instant, for such purpose, in the Town Hall—a day which, we trust, will, by the resolutions then adopted, be ever memorable in the annals of this city.— Glasgow Courier. The funeral of Mr. HARDY takes place on Thursday. Mr. PRITCHARD is to furnish mourning coaches at 245. a piece, to be paid for by parties of six or four, as the gentlemen may agree. The coaches are to start from the house of the undertaker, and proceed to Charing-cross, there to meet the procession from Pimlico at 1 o'clock. The persons who intend to walk are to assemble in front of the Mews at Charing cross, and fall into the procession five abreast at the same time. The funeral is then to proceed by the Strand, Fleet-street, St. Paul's Church-yard, Cheapside, Old Jewry, Coleman street, and to Bunbill-fields, which it was estimated would occupy more than two hours. Private carriages were also included in the arrangement. Circulars are to be issued to such as are known to the Society. Mr. MINT suggested that one shou'd especially be sent to Lord ELDON. Mr. WOOLLER thought the suggestion a very proper one. Sir FRANCIS BURDETT has intimated his intention to attend, and a number of other public charac ters are expected to be at the funeral. Mr. THELWALL (the only survivor of those who were tried with Mr. HARDT) is to deliver an oration over the grave of his deceased colleague, and another will be spoken by the Rev. Mr. Fox. The brother-in-law and friend of the cele brated QUIRoQA, Don JUAN VAN HALEN, a proscribed Spaniard, who took a part in the days of Brussels in September, 1830, and whose conduct then procured him the epaulets of Major-General, obtained on Thursday a special audience of King LEOPOLD. Placed in inactivity by the Provisionary Government, he claimed of his MAJESTY to be reintegrated in the active ranks of the army. The interview lasted upwards of an hour. It is not precisely known what was said on either side, but it appears that every thing went off to the great satisfaction of the Gene ral, for he, I am told, said to several of his friends " I have just passed some delightful moments, and perhaps the happiest of my existence." Some days ago he was given to understand, th ,t if he would content himself with the command of a brigade, under General NIELLON, he should immediately be employed; but be refused that offer with some warmth, saving he could not accept it without de scer.ding from his position as General of Division. General VAN HALEN is the same who published, in 1826, memoirs drawn up by M. CHARLES ROMER, one of the chiefs and perbap3 the finest character of our revolution, at that a period a lawyer at the Court of Liege, and co editor with M.M. LEBEEAU and DEVAUX, of the Politi que, an opposition journal. CHICHESTER, OCT. 13.—We experienced much boisterous weather in the early part of the week, particularly on Sunday morning, about 7 o'clock, when the gale was at its height, and has left marks of its ravages between here and Arundel. A fine elm, at the dairy house of Mr. W. FIELD, at Rumbold's Whyke, was snapped off at 12 feet from the ground, and the head driven rolling across the meadow, until stopped by a strong fence. Trees, ricks, and buildings were damaged in every part of the neighbourhood, although the fury of the storm appears to have been more severely felt in the parish of Walberton. Here a fine conservatory, belonging to RICHARD PRIME, Esq., was totally demolished. A barn, the property of G. HALSTEAD, Esq., and a machine house, were in one minute levelled with the ground, as was also a group of seven large elms; an ash pollard, with a large limb, driven from the trunk with a great portion of the same, was, in sight of several spectators, taken into the air, and carried entirely over a field of ten acres ! A barn at BiLstead, about a mile distant, in the exict direction of the wind from the above scene, was completely cut asunder, the dooms and centre roof being scattered about, and the two ends remaining entire. A barn of Mr. J. COOTES, at Middleton, was blown away, and five wheat ricks had their tops blown off, and a great portion of their sheaves scattered in, atoms. The aggregate esti mate of damae sustained is to a considerable amount. The thunder and lightning at Arundel, and to the east ward, were of the most terrific description.—Portsmouth Herald.

PUBLIC MEMORIAL TO THE MENIORY OF SIR WALTER SCOTT. (From the Scotsman.) At a vi ry numerous Meetint; of N ddemen and Gentle men, called by public advertisements, and held in the Assembly Rooms, George-street, Edinburgh, on Friday the of October, The LORD PROVOST in the Chair, It was moved by the Duke of BUCCLEUCH, and se conded by the Earl of ROSEDERY, That this Aleetinz is impressed with sentiments of the highest admiration of the genius and talents of the late Sir Walter Scott, whose matchless works have carried his fame into the remotest regions of the civilized world, and have reflected on the literature of his country a glory which seems destined to be as durable as the language in which they are written. It was thereafter moved by the LORD ADVOCATE, and seconded by Professor WILSON, That this Meeting, in accordance with what they be lieve to be the general wish and hope of his countrymen, are of opinion that a Public Memorial should he erected in the metropolis of Scotland to the memory of Sir Walter Scott, on a scale worthy of his great name, and fitted to convey to future times, an adequate testimony of. th , estimation in which he was held by his contemporaries.

DUBLIN, OCT. 13. CITY REGISTR Y. The Morning Pap rs will have Mt:netted you ti.at the eight deputy assistant barristers, appointed to examine the notices of Registry for this City, have, as yet, made little progress. They are, in fact, occupied yesterday and to day, sitting together as a solemn tribunal, to hear the ar gument of counsel on several points reserved on Thursday in the different booths in which they presi led. The po pular and conservative parties contest the rights of each other to the benefit of the newly-acquired franchise most pertinaciously ; each appearing with a strong bar and nu merous train of agents. The only difference is, that the conservative rent is dealt out plentifully on their side, while the popular interest depends on the voluntary and unpaid exertions of Serjeant Perrin and a few others who give their services gratuitously. The chief points of discussion in which they have been ep to this hour (2 o'clock, Saturday) engaged, are, Ist. Whether freemen of the city may register le ithout giving evidence of their having paid the stamp. 2d. Whether Ro elan Catholics, as such, can register without taking the oath of allegiance prescribed by the Relief Bill of 1829 ; mod 3.11 y. Whether students of the University, occupying chambers, may register as householders, and vote for members to represent this city. As the last is the only point decided, I give you the following outline of the case. Mr. ARMSTRONG, a Bachelor of Arts, residing in the University, presented himself, and demanded to be regis tered as a householder within the meaning of the Reform Act. He said he occupied chambers alone within the University, for which be paid six guineas a-year rent (much below their real valuing), and no person except the Dean had the privilege of entering or being in them with tut his permission. Mr. Serjeant PERRIN contended that he was no house holder, but merely a lodger in College, under the control if the Provost and Board, liable to be dismissed at any moment they pleased, and not a free agent, as he could nut go in and out of College after certain hours at night ithout their permission ; that the Dean was in the habit, and had the power, of entering his chamber at such times as he pleased, to see that no other unfit inhabi tant was there, and that he himself was conforming to she discipline of the University. He compared him to a pupil of the Westminster school, havine a separate apart ment, which, however, was no more his own property than a chamber i❑ an inn was the property of the casual or tempoiary sojourner who might occupy it. The Learned Serjeant cited also a resolution of the Irish Parliament, that no Fe:low, Schol tr, or Student had a right to vote fir the city, and several other authorities. On the other side the privileges of Lincoln's Inn were detailed, al bearing on the point; and it was contended that persons residing or holding chambers there were, by the old rules of the Inn, liable to as many restrictions as students of the University, and yet had toe privileges of franchise. Several law authorities were also cited and ingeniously commented on, to show that Mr. Armstrong . was a tenant and householder within the meaning of the Act. It has been, however, decided by the deputies unani mously, that no resident of the University is, as such, en titled to a vote for the city of Dublin. The other points are still under discussion. Similar struggles between our parties are t iking place throughout the country. There is scarcely a county or borough fcr which counsel and agents have not been emp'oyed by the conservatives or their op ponents, and in most places by both. As yet, however, the conservatives have not been successful in limiting the., electors likely to vote against them at the next election, COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE The tragedy of Hamlet was performed at this theatre last evening, when Mr. BUTLER appeired for the second ti e on the London stage, in the character of Hamlet. His repetition of the character has not at all diminished the good impression which he made on his first appear ance, and if he can only perform the other leading parts in English tragedy in the same manner, he will form one of the most efficient actors of the company. His figure and voice are good. His taste is far above mediocrity; his reading in general is correct; and he goes through his part with a degree of modesty, as well as self-possession, which naturally attracts the favourable feeling of the audience. In the scene with the Queen, in the fourth act, he was eminently successful, and in some of the points reminded us of YOUNG—certainly the best representative of the character alive. The tone of his voice, and his attitude after stabbing Polonius, were excellent, and called forth loud applause. He was equally successful in that rather difficult part of the performance over the grave of Ophelia. He was not so happy in the mad scene with Ophelia, or in the soliloquy. In the former he was much inferior to KEAN, and fell far short of YOUNG in the latter. None, however, excel in every part, and it would, therefore, be invidious to go farther in selecting topics of this kind for c niparison : as far as we are able, however, to judge from That he has already done, it may safely be said that be is considerably above mediocrity, and, unless some great star arise, may keep for a wh le the lead in such characters on the stage. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. Mr. MACRFADT last night appeared as Macbeth in the Tragedy of that name, and went through it without tie slightest variation from his former performances of the character. It is full of beautiful conceptions exclusively his own. MISS PHILLIPS understands the character of Lady Macbeth, but cannot do it justice; she feel, it, but she cannot embody it. The Pageant went off with in creased e ffect. It is an impressive exhibition, and the speaking part could not have been given to a more able and judicious actor than Mr. COOPER. The house was well attended. SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE. THE GREAT DEPARTED. Last night this theatre offered its tribute to the departed genius of our northern land. The piece chosen for repre sentation from the dramatized works of the immortal bard, was the Heart of Mid Lothian, which was exceedingly well got up and well cast. The great exhibition of the night was the representation of the principal characters in the works of Sir WALTER SCOTT, grouped in the most in teresting situations in which they have been drawn by his master-hand, Soon after the close of the performance of the Heart of Med _Lothian, the curtain rose and discovere,l clouds. Mr. WILLIAMS presented himself to the audience, and de livered the following addr e s s :-... " Such tribute as should be rendered to the immortal memory of the mighty magician, whose wand swayed the minds of mil lions, who called forth the rapturous and undivided approbation of the whole civilised world, whose literary fame extended, like the victorious arms of Alexander, from pole to pole, is beyond the weak ability of man to show. We lack the power, but not the inclination. Our humble effort at depicting a few of those scenes which have left upon the minds of all indelible impres sions of wonder and delight, are offered with as fervent an ad miration of the witching talent of the Northern Magician, with as unfeigned a regret, as can possibly accompany the scenic pageants of our colossal rivals. In the pure spirit of respect to the manes of that illustrious author we venture on our task— in the consciousness that the will, and not the deed, will meet your scrutiny, and that the object need only be appreciated to ensure your approbation," The clouds then dispersed to slow music, and discovered Sir WALTER, SCOTT writing in his study. Mr. WILLIAMS renewed 14s address : " Behold I the semblance of the mighty bard! The strings of his harp are broken; ----no longer will his v o i ce b e h eard in the halls of Scotia. He has passed away; but the echo of his im mortality will reverberate throughout the land, until time shall be no more." The scene was contemplated with solemn feeling till hidden from the view by the dosing clouds. The next representation was the last scene iv. Guy ilfannering. The most interesting in that splendid pro luction of genius in which the heir of Ellangowan is ie. cognised, and /Vest 2lferrilies exclaims, " He's owned ! he's owned ;" and renders up her spirit to Him who gave it. r: andhb Wakefi eld, l yo u have taught me his return The next representation w as th e catastrophe of the Two rrn eh wnw n o g aes , s ;o Harrym Rots ta ie . oyim,the represented Drovers, where Robin Oig rus h es i nto the room on his heart. former friend who h a d di s h onoured him with a blow, and to ex e c a l Aqesimt xai i d how the S i ss annac h fi g h ts, I will show you bow the p u at the mom en t t h at Helen id' Gregor a nd a ll his clan had gi ven him up, as doomed t o i nev it a bl e d ea th.

Ali the characters who had been seen in the pre. ceding exhibiticn formed a procession, and placing th em .. elves on each side of the bust, sang a dirge ; and w hil e singing the concluding stanza, all knelt down in homage to the Great Departed. The curtain then slowly descended to the sound of the mournful music. The whole of the exhibition was beheld with the inost profound attention, and evidently excited the deepest interest. At the fall of the curtain the house resounded with plaudits. V- 'Ye are sorry to hear that Lord DUNCANNON is strongly opposed in Kilkenny, and that fears are enter. tained by his friends lest he should be thrown Christian Advocate.
