SIR C. WETHERELL AT OXFORD. EXTRAORDINARY AFTER-DINNER SCENE. Sir Charles was among the guests at the grand dinner given to celebrate the inauguration of the new Mayor of Oxrord last week. On the occasion of the healths of the County Members having been drunk, Mr. Harcourt re turned thank!), and, in the course of his speech, expressed his regret " that an unbecoming insult had been offered in the neighbourhood of that place to a Learned Gentleman who sat near him." This appears to have been the head and front of Mr. Harcourt's offence ; but when Sir Charles Wetherell rose, on his health being drunk, the Learned Knight took occasion to contradict, in no very courteous terms, the statement of Mr. Harcourt, that he had been insulted. According to tie Oxford Journal, Sir Charles b.oke forth in a loud and very pointed attack upon Mr. Harcourt, which so irritated the company as to rest him the loss of any further peaceable hearing. One sentence which was heard may serve as a sample of the severity of the rest. " What," said Sir Charles, " does the Honourable Gentleman, who is a com moner of this county, does he suppose that I ant bete under his tutelary care ? I, a citizen of Ox ford, a member of the Corporation—l want his protec tion, his pity, his compassion, his tears ! I throw them back with ineffable contempt. I want not his eleemosy nary wings to protect me. lam here, able, and willing, and determined to defend myself." He then passed on to the subjtct of the Reform Bill, " that feast of reason which last September and October engrossed all the time of Members of Parliament, ands not only kept him away from Mayors' feasts, but for weeks after weeks and months after months, prevented him from dining any where.— Yes, he had no dinner at all, and he meant this literally, not figuratively. Yet this was the blessed Bill which was to work wonders and take off the taxes. Let the people of Oxford say what were the first fruits of it— instead of taxes taken off, had not their taxes been doubled ? (Referring to the late enormous increase of house duty at Oxford.) In fact, gentlemen, up to the present moment, the Reformers have deluded yea)." These were the last words Sir Charles was heard to utter. The company called " Chair ! chair !" " Shame ! shame !" " We will hear no more," and Sir Charles, after two or three closing words, sat down amidst an extraordinary scene of confusion. It appears that a few days before the dinner, Sir Charles bad visited the Council Chamber, where be was recog nised by several of his old electioneeing friends amongst the commoners, who hailed him with the welcome salute of " Wetherell for ever!" A crowd instantly rushed to wards that part of the yard, by which means several per sons were thrown down. Many hissed and hooted ; one or two cried " Murder !" and " Colonel Brereton's ghost come to dine with the Mayor !" and other allusions cum& to the affair at Bristol: but Sir Charles ulti mately escaped under the protection of the constables, without any other personal collision than having his hat rather uncivilly rapped upon the top, and beaten down wards on his nose. When leaving the ball, he was ad vised not to go, but lie replied, " Why should I not go as well as any body else? lam an Englishman." - A public meeting, of great national interest, was held on Thursday,—it was the agricultural meeting fur the show of cattle, implements of husbandry, &c., under the patronage of the Highland Society of Scotland, at Kelso. Here, as at the Edinburgh meeting, the Duke of BUCCLEUCH presided in the chair, the duties of which he filled with a feeling and talent alike creditable to his head and heart. The meeting thus celebrated was the first of the kind in which the competition was Scotland thrown open to the whole of the United Kingdom, acrd bad come forward as the rival of England in that science and pursuit, the great national value and im portance of which was so ably inculcated by the Noble President in the performance of his varied and arduous duties in the chair, which he so ably filled. The display of the Leiresters, an English gentleman observed, was as fine as ever seen in England : and when it is considered that this was the first year of competition, it may be confi dently expected that an institution so encouraged and sup ported will, in each succeeding year, display a growing prosperity. Its the money-market the greatest torpor and want of enterprise prevail. There has probably never ex isted a period in which so little employment for capital, at once safe and profitable, has presented itself, and it is quite evident, unless some change takes place, that capi talists are on the point of being forced into some wild and dangerous schemes, that must_ be attended with ultimate exchanges, which are all in favour of this country, may, for aught that is known to the contrary, be aggravating this evil by to-w issues of notes. In their desire to make a eood dividend for the proprietors, the directors have not often shown much consideration for the monied interest generally, and there is no disposition therefore for be lieviog that they are acting otherwise ou this occasion. Indeed, the extraordinary rise in the premium on Ex chequer bills can hardly he ascribed to any other cause than large additional issues of bank notes. Whatever the cause of the low rate of interest may be, it is a circum stance that reflecting men look at it with much alarm, especially as it has now been of long continuance : and if some legitimate employment for capital does not soon Olf r, we may expect soon to see a new influx of foreign loans and joint-stock schemes.— Times. We understand from a respectable source that Sir Jot's: Alit LEY DoYLE, AI. P., left town •n Sunday to proceed to Oporto fur the purpose of offering his own services, and those of a considerable body of his country men. to Don PEnao (we have heard the number stated at 3,000 men), to enable the garrison of Oporto to success lolly resist their besiegers. Sir MII.LEY was expected to embark yesterday, at Falmouth, in the packet, for Oporto, where 1 e will immediately enter into a negotiation with the Emenroa, and afterwards return to this country to organise the contemplated reinforcement. A corps of 250 vo'unteers, under the command of Major GILLON, sailed on Sunday, and, it is expected, will reach Oporto ahour the period of Sir JOHN M. DOYLE'S arrival in Oporto. Several young men of independent fortune, becoming im patient at remaining so long on the Commander-in Chief's list here for commissions, are said to form part of the force under Major Gteeost. So enthusiastic were they in the cause of Don Panao, that they completely equipped them selves at their own expense, and did not even solicit com missions in the Constitutional army. Captain SADLIER, late of the 91. th regiment, and Captain Romero, who also lately belonged to a regiment of infantry, are gone, we be lieve, with the force just despatched under Major GILLON. Many Officers, who have seen much service, are ready to _ . . . . . . . embark and join the Constitutional standard should the mission of Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE prove successful; and recruits, it is confidently affirmed, can be obtained in any numbers fur the service. Sir JOHN MILLEY DOYLE wa. a Major-General in the Portuguese army, holding also the rank of Colonel in the English service; he, however, re• tired some years ago by the sale of his commission; but the insignia of a K.C.B. having been bestowed upon hint for his gallantry in the field, he has been specially allowed to retain his rank, but without receiving pay or progres. sive promotion. The Gallant Officer is R.presentative for the county of Carlow, and nephew and heir presumptive to the venerable General Sir JOHN DOYLE, Bart., G.C.B.— Morning Paper. CONSECRATION.—This morning the new church on Saffron Hill, which belongs to the mother church of St. Andrew, Holborn, was consecrated by the Bishop of LONDON in the presence of a very numerous and respectable congregation. A detachment from the reserve companies of the 22d regiment, stationed in the citedel, consisting of one captain, two subalterns, and 155 rank and file, is or dered to be in readiness to embark, to join the service companies of that regiment at Jamaica. The detachments of the 71st and 77th regiments, quartered at Longroom Barracks, are ordered to hold themselves in readiness to embark, to join the service companies of their regiments at Bermuda.—Devonport Telegraph. GASPARINI TIIE CONVICT.—This bandit is still living at Rochefort. For some yearsohe was much dreaded by travellers, though never gui!ty of cruelty. Some years ago he determined to rob a diligence, as it was passing at nightfall through a wood. He stuffed half a dozen coats, and fixed them on poles, with formidable caps and presented arms. When the diligence arrived, he or dered the postilion to stop; he then made the conductor and passengers alight, and, in a resolute tone, pointing to his supposed companions, whom he had ranged in the skirts of the wood, desired the trunks to be opened, and took what he thought proper, saying to the affrighted tra vellers, " Don't be alarmed ; allow me to take what I require, and depend upon it my troops shall not advance a step further ; from them, I assure you, you have nothing to fear." When taken, be was sentenced to the galleys for life. When the gendarmes went to scour the wood, they came up with half a dozen robbers, wl:o appeared determined to stand their ground. They summoned them to surrender, and, receiving no reply, fired a volley, and advanced to the attick sword in band. They then dis covered that the banditti were hut stuffed coatth—Statis- lies of Ftanee, by Lewis Goldsmith. YILICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONN O'CLOCK. Lank Stock - 1 per Cent. Red. - 3 per Cent.

It has been too justly observed that, of all the present cheap publications, no one is suited for Sunday reading, nor devote I exclusively to the religious public ; no one confining itself to the lives, diaries, religious experience, and daily practice of those who regulate their lives accord ing to the Divine will. This is the object and design of " The Evangelical Penny Magazine ;" namely-- First—To diffuse religious knowledge by the diaries, journals, and biographies of those who are justly distin guished for their Christian principles. Secondly—To illustrate passages of Scripture, and to explain their connexion with the usages of the times in which they were written, and their figurative allusion to such usages. And Thirdly—To become a vehicle for the intercourse and communication of tie religious world of the present day, and to strive in union for any common object. The first Number will be embellished with a Portrait of the Rev. John Wesley, and every succeeding Number will contain a Portrait of some eminent Evangelical Di vine. This Work will be published by Mr. Howden, at " The Evangelical Penny Magazine" Office, 194, Strand, and will be supplied by all the Agents of the Penny Magazines, on the same terms.

We have been favoured with an estimate o the probable returns of the Revenue of the quar ter ending this day, but as a considerable alte- ration may take place before the evening, when the returns will be made up, we shall be as ge neral as possible in our statement. At the present moment the returns for the Customs and Excise are expected to turn out well,—say a surplus of 300,0001., which will cover the deficiency on the last quarter. The other branches will, it is thought, be much the same as in the corresponding quarter of last year, what is gained in assessed taxes, being lost in stamps and in the Post-office. But the great benefit to the Revenue will accrue from the reduced expenditure, which in the last half year, viz., since the operation of the reduced esti mates, amounts to about one million. Altoge ther the prospects are considered by Ministers as very favourable. Much of the expected increase in the Customs arises, as has been before stated, from the large sums received on corn taken out of bond, the holders preferring to pay the high rate of duty, and bring it to market at once, to keeping it back, with the chance of still lower market prices. In other respects, however, the Customs returns, considering the unsettled state of the Continent, are quite as high as could reasonably have been expected. The falling-off in the Post-office returns is attempted to be accounted for in various ways, but in none satisfactorily. Whether the rate of post age may not be too high is, however, a question. The charges were raised to theiractual state during the war, and every thing else having fallen on account of the peace, it is probable, that if the rates of postage had been reduced, correspon dence by letter would have been more frequent. We are happy to learn that a very fine vessel, of 612 tons, will sail to-morrow for Oporto, with 80 valuable horses, and the full complement of officers and men. She carries out 300 chal drons of coals for the use of the steamers, besides a large quantity of muskets and warlike stores• Another vessel with forty sailors proceeds at the same time. We understand that a vessel, with fifty seamen for the fleet of SARTORIUS, has been obliged to put back into a port in the channel from stress of weather. She will, however, be able to pro ceed directly, as it is now moderate. A very large steamer, 135 feet in length, has just been launched at Bourdeaux, and it is in tended' for the service of Don PEDRO. A Morning Contemporary (the Herald) contains a long paragraph respecting the re inforcements to the Constitutional army of Por tugal, in which it is stated that Sir JoHN MIL- I LEY DOYLE left London, on Sunday, on his way to Oporto. This statement is utterly un founded. Sir JOHN was in town on Monday, actively engaged in the honourable cause which he has espoused, and he is, we believe, still here ; but on Monday last he stated that it was his intention to start this day or to-morrow. The other parts of the paragraph in question are very incorrect. A private express has been received this morning from Paris, bringing letters and papers of Monday. The Ministry is not yet completed. M. DUPIN had a long interview with Marshal SOULT on Monday, and the general opinion is, that he will accept office on certain conditions. One is that Marshal SouLT should only. retain the portefeuille of the War Department. Many concessions are expected to be made, so that the Ministry may be formed immediately, as the present unsettled state creates the greatest anxiety. The Duke de BROGLIE, who had been con sidered as having officially accepted the porte feuille for Foreign Affairs, is yet undecided. M. HUMANN, who is now in Paris, has declined forming a part in the Administration. In the course of the week the new Ministry, no doubt, will be officially announced in the Moniteur. Brussels and German papers have been re ceived this morning. The preparations for war still continue in the Netherlands. At Vienna some alarm was felt that war would actually take place between Holland and Belgium, and that England and France would take an active part. The funds declined in consequence BRUSSELS, OCT. 6.—The Minister for foreign affairs yesterday despatched a courier (M.:lmoitie) to London. Mr. Ward, Secretary of Legation to Lord Durham, ar rived here yesterday evening. The Minister of War yesterday received despatches from the French Head-quarters. Part of these despatches was immediately transmitted to General Goblet. We are assured the Intendant-general of the French army of the North was sent, among others, finally to r _ IARI. to the M. G de Broackene returned to 8ru5...1. A letter from Ostend, of the 3d, says, " A numerous detachment of volunteers, destined for the army of Don Pedro, is waiting only for a favourable wind to put to sea. Meantime they are exercised daily. They are part of the foreign legion that was in the service of Belgium. ANTWERP, OCT. s.—Five boats laden with coals ar rived in the bacon to-day; they are direct from Charleroi by the new canal. Twelve barges laden with provi sions arrived yesterday at the Citadel and the Tete de Flandres." By a Royal ordinance, dated the sth, the army is to form five divisions, four of infantry and one of cavalry. The Ist and 2d divisions to retain their present denomina tion ; the reserve to enter into the line, and be called the 3d division. The present 3d to be called the 4th. The sth to consist of three brigades of cavalry, with horse artillery. The division of Flanders, to be called the 6th division, but not to make part of the principal army till further or ders. Tw•o brigades of reserve infantry to be formed in the interior of the kingdom.

STUTTGARD, OCT. 2.—The Wurtemburg Got4rn. meat Gazette of the Ist instant publishes the resolution of the German Diet, by which the German Universal Gazette, published at Stuttgard, is suppressed ; and adds, that the necessary steps have been taken for carrying this resolution into effect. VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—There was great agitation on 'Change to-day, and our Funds declined, in consequence of unfavourable news re-pecting the affiirs of Belgium atml Holland, which lead to the fear that a formal breach will ensue, and that England and France will take an active part. We are here prepared for the worst, but still hope that the war will be confined to Holland and Belgium, and not disturb the tranquillity of the rest of Europe. It appears that the statement of the approaching de parture of the Austrian troops from the Papal dominions, WAS unfounded, the Pope not having made any application for their withdrawal ; they will therefore remain in the Legations. The quart, rs of some regiments may be changed, but his Holiness, probably, thinks that he cannot pru dently diminish the number of the foreign troops, as the spirit prevailing in his dominions seems by no means dis posed to order and obedience.

After a brief recess, which must have been torture to a gentleman of his active, impetuous turn of mind, Sir CHARLES WETHERELL has again burst forth into public notice. As usual, his display is one characterised by exquisite absurdity. At the grand dinner given last week on occasion of the inauguration of the new Mayor of Oxford, Mr. HARCOURT, one of the County Members, expressed his regret that " an unbecoming insult had been offered in the neighbourhood of that place to a Learned Gentleman who sat near him." On this, Sir C. WETHERELL, who, it appears, was the in dividual alluded to, bristled up like a porcupine. " What," quoth he, in a fine phrenzy of inde pendence, " does the Honourable Gentleman, who is a commoner of county, suppose that lam here under his tutelary care ? I, a citizen of Oxford, a Member of the Co r p orat i on ; want his protection, his pity, his compassion, his tears ? . I throw them back with ineffabl e con tempt.wings to protect I: s is ri e c l h e . emo T sr e za .( r Lddi of I want n h o i t s me." St. Stephen's has here exceeded himself. Mark his indignation at the effrontery of a mere com moner presuming to patronize a knight ! At his ineffable audacity in daring to take a member of the Corporation under his eleemosynary wings ! Sir CHARLES goes on to detail the great, the cruel sacrifices he has made to preserve his country from the contamination of Reform . During the discussion of the question, this great patriot, it seems, had not only abstained " from Mayor's feasts," but " for weeks after werv, and months after months, had not dined any where." Can patriotic disinterestedness go farther than this ? Imagine a statesman (and a member of a Corporation to boot, which makes the sacrifice more severe,) resisting, " week after week, month after month," the seductions of the calipash and calipee, of the rich venison pasty, and the mantling Burgundy, in his zeal to save his country from Reform ! We suspect it is this virtuous abstinence that has caused Sir CHARLES'S present exacerbation. His spleen looks much more like the result of flatulence than principle ; in fact, it is neither more nor less than an attack of dyspepsia, which has taken a patriotic turn. On quitting the party—which we should observe by the way was a Reform one—Sir CHARLES accounted for his presence at it, by stating that he was " an Eng lishman." We do not exactly understand the force of this explanation ; however, we sup pose it means something. In another column will be found the particulars of this " extraor dinary after-dinner scene." Sir CHARLES'S speech and pantomime must have been much more delightful than any song (however well sung,) and we take for granted that they were intended as substitutes. Could Lord LON DONDERRY have been prevailed on to contri bute his share to the merriment of the company, the entertainment must have been perfect. Jr. order that we might not be accused of un fairness, when we charge the Herald with being ignorant of the principles of commerce, we have thought it right to give in to-day's paper one of the most elaborate pieces of mystification which it has for a long time put forth. If any man chooses to he deluded into thinking that the jumble of facts and nonsense of which it consists has really any thing in it except words, he must do so, for he is past any thing we can say to him. But those who are not disposed to receive, with out understanding it, all the Herald may say, as gospel, we would beg to turn to the conclu sion to which the writer comes. It is neither more nor less than this :—That the Bri tish capitalists, having lent certain sums of money to the South American and other States, they were, for the most part, im mediately spent at Birmingham and elsewhere, f or arms, harness, &c., but now that no more such sums are lent, and that, consequently, the South_ Americans can no longer pay for arms, &c. our manufacturers are not only injured to the extent iiw s o u f p t p h o e s c in es g sa t tn t t o h f e t 3 h , a e ll tr d ad id e o p c a c y a . sio T ne r d u e b iy y , this is illustrating the proverb of " have a cake Ahr money he; , 1,.... L.—, ._ ..t. _ a __. j __,_ . .„......„ 0 and eat it" with a vengeance. Those who take up a just principle of action have always this consolation, that they are cer tain in the long run, whatever may be the occa sional depression of their cause, to see it tri umph. One of the first symptoms of approach ing success is, the wavering of a class of oppo nents whose desire to float with the stream is strongly counteracted by their innate prejudices, or a particular under -current affecting them selves only. They are a sort of political baro meter, but with this difference, that the changes indicated by the barometer may be distant, whereas their turning is a sign of altera tion i•nmediately to take place. Thus, all unprejudiced men have for some time perceived that voting by ballot, always desirable, has now become inevitable. Our contemporary, the Herald, which embraced the cause of Reform with so ill a grace that we were con stantly at a loss to discover whether its articles were in favour of or against the measure by which alone Reform could be accomplished— this paper begins now to advocate the Ballot, or at least is preparing to do so. This morning's Herald contains the preparatory turn to that side of the question which the Tory leaven of the paper has hitherto been against. It is consoling to us, who have long been fighting the good fight, at last to find the enemy either silenced, like the Times, dying desperately, like the Post, or coming over to us, like the Herald. The latter makes no terms, unless we can call the following clause such In the abstract, we disapprove of concealment, be cause it looks like unmanly fear."—So, the Herald has hitherto opposed that which is the only protection of an honest vote, because it looked like unmanly fear. This is even more absurd than the hack argument that secret voting showed a fear which ought not to be in the cha racter of Englishmen. It has not been the creation, or acknowledgment of the existence of the thing which the Herald has disliked, but the look of it ! Well, then, to apply to the Herald an argument of its own : Which has the worst look, a man giving his vote in secret, without being canvassed, without being threatened, with. out being bribed—for the ballot will probably annihilate them all, for what will be the use of o,er-fly—or men going up by scores to the polling places, voting against their consciences, to pre serve their families from ruin ? There cannot be two answers to the question ; for, whatever moral ono f a a nd lid politic a l d egra d at i on, principl e , i nvo l ve d i n the latter state of things. may be the supposed evils of th e b a ll ot , t h ey t c l a ie ni n ni t t te e r q p u r a o l prostration ti If the language of a certain portion of the Commons would Press were to be taken as expressive o f th e ge neral t h feelings the g'' of the House people, o new much, should we fear ex hibit a scene but little creditable to th e discern ment or gratitude of its electors. In reference o that part of the Press to which we allude, the Scotsman says : " One journal speaks favourably of the Reform Bill, as often as it has occasion to mention it, yet it takes every opportunity of crying down the Ministers as incapables and blunderers, to whom we are indebted for the boon. What is the key to this singular course of conduct ? Why—the journalist is at bottom a Conservative; he dare not reprobate the Bill, because on this point the people are unanimous ; but by way of indemnity he rails at its au thors, and does the best he can to drive them from power, or at least to disable them from inflicting farther reforms upon him, by undermining them in the confidence of the people ! " This is the fact ; and bearing it in mind, what heed will our countrymen pay to such con formers ? Let them remember that although now speaking the Bill fair, and abusing Ministers upon other grounds, the Conservatives de nounced them during its progress as incapables and blunderers, chiefly on account of having brought in that measure of Reform. The people must recollect how little they heeded the Con servative exhortations at that time—how firmly they believed that Lords GREY, BROUGHAM, and RUSSELL were sincere in their desire to serve them, and not only that, but were clear of head as well as stout of heart, and saw how they were best to be served. Nothing has occured since, as we shall presently show, to change the opi nions of the people with respect to either party. The Ministers, we believe, still desire to serve the country to its advantage, have similar views of the changes which are required of them, and are still therefore reviled by hollow friends and open opponents of Reform. Will the people heed such revilings, although backed up, as in the case of Reform, by hundreds of bold asser tions and pretended proofs ? We think not.— The Journal we have already quoted, referring to another class of persons, whose conduct we have more than once noticed, says— " Another applauds the Bill sincerely and heartily, yet he too declares the Ministers to be drivellers, men who are inclined to spare abuses and palter with public feeling, and whom it would be a meritorious act to expel from place ! How is this language to be accounted for? In more ways than one. Perhaps, the paper hangs by the East India or the West India interest, or some party that is opposed to Government on grounds altogether distinct from the Re form Bill ; and the editor finds that he pleases his cus tomers by lessening Ministers in public estimation, what ever be the mode of attack." The former class most hate Ministers for what they have done ; that above described hate Ministers most for what it fears they will do. They tremble Lest increased activity should be enforced in preparing the negroes for emancipa tion—lest we should cease paying a million of ta a in commodity t o h f an L w e e ade o n u i th i t i. , im s n t roeoner money m r mtahoy atmore lest the iniquitous attempt to create an artificial a cf ie dividends of ten per cent. — rr scarcity in the prime necessary of life should be put a stop to—lest all private inte rests, real and imaginary, should be swept away for the public good. Will the people, the great body of the community, who are borne down by the accumulated grievances which the principles of the Government must make it as anxious to remove as they made it its duty to carry Reform,—will the people, we say, listen to the railing, the abge oi ths jogyatu ty tta is rnateitls)etttßi time etp Governmentel tai like ee overthrowingr tetoh ve ts F "°""al m v i r i ee ti O :e :r e t :e i h no l ei : s l , r i d k mii c e rn i* e l aa n y v e : s e te g n t sl o c atu o y a c f dl ish) o n e o G o r p as m t s p oo bo i vn s e e n ta c l hr e l h i n e : n ety dne i in t on.t. t; sst a oih s dme e t re h ßt et, geohe Ra r l le i se e ; sb s vm o . oa and l d i ai e l al wtMoibl the Scotsman t nopol dabeh ga i s vi t a s ; we dintaeoaaysdsu,er mean esct, rnonoy a Cabinet whose acts fall short of their dreams, without thinking or caring about who would succeed them. We ourselves would not have been sorry to see the principle of the Re form Bill carried farther, but we were not only willing to take it, like some of our contempo raries who now wish to turn the Ministry out, but to see how the Ministry would use the l power of action it far f‘ntovhoirel ast pmLgtuairlbvkerel make c anybugrs GREYieon oog dff,theoa r honestnw power govern ment.awner colleagues efisn dcntnda 7 nt e o ct n iii l v c y ee d y r s t e d o oo o rnd w d e m r should eh t ai o : do good which their freedom from the shackles of the Boroughmongers will give them, none will be more ready to vote for a Ministry who will do so than ourselves. In the meantime, let all who attack Ministers on any ground whatever recol lect that they have not been their own masters. They have done all they could, and that that has been little must be laid to the charge of those who now attack them. Even in the case of unhappy Ireland the measures they have per fected have been acknowledged beneficial. Their p'an with respect to tithes is not completely in operation, and therefore cannot be judged of. When completed, its end and aim will be the ,‘ extinction of tithes;" that is, no man will any longer come to the peasant, and de mand of him a tenth of his crop. This is not all that certain landlords who wish to ap propriate tithes, which are public property, to themselves as fair spoil, may hope ; but it is all that any honest man can desire. Their plan of education is almost the only one which Ministers have completed, and in spite of the outcry raised against it by particular parties, it is likely to prove generally beneficial. What we would say then to our fellow countrymen, both here and in Ireland, is, heed no factious cries of any set of men ; elect honest, enlightened, discreet representatives, who will not desire to turn the Mi nistry out till they have a set of men ready to step into their place, who will not cast away the sub stance for the shadow ; but who will support, till proved unworthy, those, who by their previous conduct, have shown themselves the most liberal, the most firm advocates of the rights of the peo ple, that have ever yet been in power. They need not fear doing so, for it is NOW zmpos sible for any Ministry to stand that does not make common cause with the people. Mr. ALEXANDER BARRY, the lecturer OD chymistry at Guy's Hospital, who sustained a dreadful ac cident, died on Monday at his lodgings in Furnivars-inn, after much acute pain. It will be recollected that this gentleman, a few weeks since, was performing some chy mical experiments, in which gases formed part of the ma terials, when suddenly igniting, an explosion took place, which broke the windows and sashes of his apartment, destroyed part of his household furniture, and dreadfully injured and disfigured him. Mr. BARRY, however, lin gered till Monday, when eath put a period to his sufferings. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) .lohn Simpkin, a respectably-dressed man, was sum moned by a waterman for is. 6d., the amount of a fare be forgot to pay on the 6th inst. The complainant deposed, thao., on the day named, be was engaged by the defendant to take a lady and a large quantity of luggage out to a steam-boat, which he did, and brought him back to the shore—his fare for which was Is. 6d. ; but the instant the bow of the boat touched the shore, the defendant jumped out, and ran off. Two other watermen deposed to the hiring. The defendant, in answer, said he did not deny hot that he used the boat, but the fact was, the complainant bad forgotten to ask him for the money—(A laugh)—and his mind being engaged otherwise, he did not think of it. He insisted that the complainant was bound to have asked his fare. Sir F. A. ROE was of a different opinion, and ordered him to pay the fare, and all the expenses, which amounted to Bs. 6d. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Two 'lads, named Berkeley and Robinson, were charged with picking a gentleman's pocket. A constable stated, that be was watching the prisoners on Sunday evening, in the neighbourhood of the Strand , and at last they followed a gentleman up Duncannon" street, arid he saw Berkeley take a handkerchief from the gentleman's pocket, and hand it to the other prisoner.-." Having secured them, and obtained the handkerchief, he followed the gentleman, who immediately recognised the handkerchief as his. The owner of the handkerchief said, he did not wish to be at the trouble of prosecuting, and, indeed, he could not swear to the handkerchief, as it had no mark on it bi which he could identify it. The MAGISTRATE said, that he could not allow justice to be defeated, and he should require the gentleman to enter into his recognizance to prosecute, or else to be KO to prison. The gentleman preferred the less unpleasant alternative of being bound over ; and the prisoners were committed.
