REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. Messrs. PALK and SANDYs, the Barristers appointed to revise the election lists of voters of the county of Middle sex, held their respective Courts yesterday at the Charity School, Stepney-green, Mile End, Old Town. The follow ing parishes composed the District :—Norton Folgate, St. John Wapping ; St. Botolph Without, Aldgate, Christ church, St. Paul ; Shadwell ; St. Anne, Limehouse ; All Saints, Poplar ; St. George's in the East, St. Mary. Stratford ; Mile End, New Town ; St. Leonard's, Brom ley ; Mile End, Old Town ; Ratcliff, St. Leonard's Shoreditch. The number of votes registered were 1,363; cut of which there were 346 objected to upon various grounds by the Overseers. In many instances the parties who had been objected to, being in attendance to uphold their claims, their cases were gmne into, and having failed to establish their right to vote for the county in right of leasehold or copyhold property, situated in the borough of the Tower Hamlets, which conferred the right upon the occupiers to vote for the Borough Members, they were struck off the lists. All similar claims which were not objected to were postponed till next Saturday for final de cision. A person claimed a right to vote from a freehold rent charge upon copyhold premises, situated in the parish of St. Mary's, Whitechapel, which the Barristers post poned, the Act of Parliament not being clear upon the point. 'Dee claimant contended, that inasmuch as the vote was good b fore the passing of the Reform Bill, he had a clear and indisputable right to register, particularly as ti.e Act did not disfranchise any such description of voters.— The case was postponed. In the list of St.. Ann's, Limehouse, a lady made claim to vote ; she bad paid her shilling, the overseers in serted her name in the list, and objected to it. Mr. PALK said, that there could be no question about the correctness of the objection, as the Legislature had not enfranchised the ladies.—(A laugh.) A Gentleman attended on behalf of the lady, to support her claim. He stated that she was a most zealous Re former ; that, during the discussion of that important measure, she debated the question at every tea party she a ttended—(Laughter)—that she was an advocate for uni versal suffrage, and vote by ballot—(Laughter)—and that she had a right to participate in the blessings of a measure which she had lent a willing hand, and an active tongue to promote.—(Laughter.) Mr. PALK regretted his inability to increase the lady's political privileges, and trusted that she would not visit her displeasure upon him, but direct it against the Legis lature.—( A laugh.) He struck her name out of the list. The Barristers, in cases where objections had been made by the overseen after the notice was stuck up at the church door, disallowed them, as sufficient notice had not been given to the persons so objected to. An important question came on as to the right of 69 watermen, in the parish of All Saints, Poplar, who claimed a right to vote for the county in right of freehold land in the Isle of Dogs. Several watermen attended to support their claims. Mr. PALK inquired what was the nature of the freehold interest in the land ; he had great doubts as to the legality of the votes, and as they were objected to by the Overseers, he should require evidence to prove that those persons had an interest of 40s. a year in the land. A waterman said that the watertnen claimed their votes on the ground that they and their predecessors held the ground under a grant of the Crown, dated 1650, and that theyhad a beneficial interest in the land of 401. a year. A Committee of the House of Commons had decided upon the validity of their votes on a former occasion. The water men bad formed themselves into a Society, called the Potter's Ferry Soeie'y, and were enrolled in 1509. There were in the Society 100 watermen. Mr. PALK' said that he should require to see their title, and proof that the ferry was vested in them, and that they had a sufficient property in the land to give them a quabfication under the Act of Parliament. He consi dered that it w s the ferry that yielded the profit,—not the land. How much land did the waterman claim a right to? The Waterman said that the Society only claimed 100 feet in length and 60 in width, and that it was used as a landing place; and that they let the ferry at 215/. a year. Mr. PA I.K said, that it was very clear they gained nothing by the land, but all by the ferry ; yet it appeared that they claimed their right from profit in land. The Waterman said, that Mr. :Mellish had given the Society 1,2501., for the right of erecting a Toll-house upon it. Mr. PALK said, that he would postpone the question until next Wednesday, and advised the watermen to get advice, and to come prepared with evidence to establish their claims, the legality of which he very much doubted. Several lists were postponed. BERKSHIRE. READING, OCT. 29.—The revising Barristers com menced the revision of the lists of county voters in the Reading district here on Saturday. The business trans acted by them that day was confined to the getting in the lists from the overseers, and appointing the days on which the different parishes would be taken by them. The Court sat at 10 o'clock this morning, and as the first case that was to come before Mr. Corbett was a very important ene, involving the votes of 37 voters, who claimed to be put en the list of freeholders in right of shares possessed by them in the Kennett and Avon Canal Company, it was arranged that Mr. Talbot should sit with his Learned Brother as amicus curia in hearing it. The case, as will be perceived, was one of great interest, not only to this county, but to the kingdom at large. Evidence was then produced as to the service of the notice of objection upo❑ John Blackwell, one of the 37 voters in question, and with whose case it was agreed by both sides to commence. Mr. NVARREN, who appeared in support of a voter whose claim was stated in the list in the followin? terms, " Freehold, proportion of rates anti duties arising from the carriage of goods, wares, merchandizes, and commodities, on the river Kennett, in the county of Berks; and of houses, warehouses, hinds, and hereditaments, forming the river Kennett navigation, or connected, or used there with," said that the Kennett and Avon Canal Gimpany bad been incorporated by 34 Geo. 111. c. 90, for the purpose of making a canal from Newbury to Bath, and that under that Act the shares in the Company were per tonal estate, and admissible as such. This Comp my bay ine! become anxious to purchase a property called the Kennett Navigation, an Act was passed 53 Geo. 111., c. 119, to enable them to do so. That Act recited all the Acts on both sides, regulating their respective pro perties—to wit, the Kennett and Avon Canal from Bath to Newbury, and the river Kennet navigation from New bury to Reading. It enables the Compiny to purchase the litter property for themselves, their successors, and assigns, and it invests them with, and makes them seised of all the rights, privileges, and franchises that had hitherto appertained to that freehold property. Having read a clause from the Act in question, to the effect he mentioned, he proceeded to state that they shoal put in a freehold conveyance, in accordance with the terms of the Act of the river Kennett navigation property, to proprietors of the Kennett and Avon Canal Company, and which con veyance, he contended, entitled the person holding such property to the right of voting. His clients claimed to vote in respect of the right., and liberties of the river Kennett navigation property, which had now been brought home and vested in them, and though the shares of the Kennett and Avon Canal Company were expressly de clared by Act of Parliament to he personal property, it was equally plain that the property of the Kennett navi gation, which had been absolutely conveyed t, them, were to he deemed freehold property, carrying with it the rights and advantages which such property possessed. Mr. Merrirmin, the clerk of the Company, having been then sworn and examined, stated that Mr. Blackwell was a proprietor of 20 shares in the Kennett and Avon Canal Gimp riv, and that as such, his proportion of the tolls and other property, collected upon the river Kennett naviga• tion, amounted to snore than 40t. a year. He further stated, th:it the Company had purchased thia freehold pro perty from Mr. Frederick Page, in the year 1815, and that the river K.-nuett navigati,on ran through the county of Berks, and a great part through the parish of Alder marston. Upon a cross-examination by Mr. GaecoaY, the wit ness stated that he did not know what was the entire amount of tolls produced between Newbury anti Reading, and t! at he did not know whether any portion of those tolls were collected in the parish of Aldertnarston. He admitted that the a mnunt of tolls produced t , y the Krnnett na%igation were blended with the eeneral mass of receipts of the Kennett and Avon Canal Company. In answer to a question from Mr. ViNes, the witne , s stated, that in the case of a deceased intestate proprietor, it was neeess.ry to take out lett ers of admitustration in order to pa , s the property. Mr. Coat:Err said, that as the case depended much upon the construction of Act: of Patliament, and upon authorities, he and his Learned Colle-gue would take that evening to look into the cases referred to, and the Acts of Parliament, and he would pronounce the decision of the Court in the morning. The carriers from Aberchirder, Rothiemay, Turriff, and Kith, are all well employed at present, con veying butter, in firkins, to this town, in order to be shipped for London a❑d Leith, where the demand is brisk, And where a fair profit is obtained.—Aberdeen Herald. COURT CIRCULAR. • -; M. DEnEL, the Netherlands Minister; M. VAN DE WEYER, the Belgian Minister; Mr. VAIL, Charge d'Affaires from the United States; and Baron RALAMB, the Swedish Charge d'Affaires, transacted business yesterday at the ( ffice of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. The Commander of the Forces and the First Lord of the Admiralty had interviews yesterday with Viscount CODE RICH, at the Colonial-office. Viscount PALMERSTON has left town for Pansanger, Herts, on a visit to Earl COWPER. The Count DE FUNCHALL transacted business yesterday at the Treasury. Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from Sir ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, the Lieut.-Governor of New Brunswick; from Sir PEREGRINE MAITLAND, the Lieut.-Governor of Nova Scotia; from Sir BENJAMIN D'URBAN, the Governor of British Guiana ; and from Sir STEPHEN CHAPMAN, the Governor of Bermuda. The SPEAKER of the House of Commons ar rivol at his tificial residence in Palace-yard on Saturday morning, from his tour, in the North, accompanied by Mrs. MANNERS SUTTON and family. The Right Hon. Gentleman is preparing to take a final leave of his abode in St. Stephen's Court, for his delightful retreat at Mistley Thorn, near Manningtree. It is the intention of Mr. MANNERS SUTTON to remain in town a fortnight before he proceeds to Mistley. The Loan MAvoR has invited him to a splendid banquet, to be given at the Mansion-house, previous to his retirement from the Mlyoralty, and the SPEAKER bas accepted the invitation. Tte Right Hon. Gentleman, during his stay in Scotland, paid a visit to Sir WILLIAM PURVIS HUME CAMPBELL (elder brother to the first husband of Mrs. MANNERS SUTTON,) at March mont House, which was the scene of splendid hospitality, to welcome his arrival. Lord TENTERDEN, who has been for some time very seriously indisposed, and who, if we may judge by his appeatance during his sitting in Court last week, must have I.een severely inconvenienced by the fa tigue of the tedious trial of the Bristol Magistrates, was yesterday compelled to absent himself. It is proper to add, that though his bodily illness seems to be very severe, his mental facultl-s are evidently in no degree impaired, either in clearness or vigour. _ _ _ Sir JOHN BECKET has been in the neighbour hood of Eversham, with the intention of canvassing that borough ; but finding the electors nearly unanimously in favour of their present Reform Members, Sir CHARLES COCKERELL and Mr. HUDSON, he has publicly announced, that there being no prospect of success, he would not be justified in disturbi❑g the tranquillity of the town. Lord and Lady HOLLAND are contempla ting a visit to Brighton, for the improvement of his Lord ship's health. We regret to hear that his Lordship has bee❑ for some months dllicted with his old complaint the gout, which has prevented him from attending the Cabinet Councils since the Ministers have re-assembled, though his Lordship ILts sufficiently recovered to be able to give seve• ral dinner parties to his colleagues, at Holland House, Kensington. Lord HOLLAND is now in his sixty-second year The extensive estates belonging to the Noble B iron, at Amptill, in Bedfordshire, are settled on Colonel Fox, his Lordship's second son, who has been recently ap pointed Secretary of Legation at the Court of the King of SARDINIA. His Majesty the King of HOLLAND, after the President of the First Chamber had read the Address to him, replied, " That he received this Address with the liveliest pleasure, particularly under existing circum stances, as it gave proof of an unanimity of feeling between the Sovereign and the people, and that he acquired thereby augmented strength to persevere in the maintenance of the rational interests, and to wait the course of events with a reliance on Providence." THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW.—The civic pageant is to he revived on the 9th of November i❑ all its former splendour. Last year the procession was wofully curtailed on account of the high sate of party feeling at the moment; and the year before that there was no at tempt at a procession. On the present occasion the Saddlers' Company have incurred considerable expense in preparations to eive eclat to the show, Sir PETER LAURIE being the first Liveryman of that body who Las b,en elected to the highest civic honours. It is now finally settled that the procession shall move from Guild hall along Cheapside, down Aldersgate.streer, along Lone. lane, round Smithfield, down Giltspur-street, Skinner. street, and Farringdon.street, to Blacklriar's-bridge. The show upon the water is also expected to he very brilliant. For the first time one of the mounted bands of the Life Guards will form a part of the procession. MONUMENT TO SIR WALTER SCOTT.— A correspondent of the Inverness Courier suggests the idea of a very excellent monument to the memory of Sir WALTER SCOTT, for the north of Scotland, and one which will be easily accomplished. He proposes that the Heri tors should purchase a copy of his work , (published in 50 or 60 vole.) for every par ish, to be kept at the parish school, for the perusal of the scholars and others. The idea deserves attention.—Scotsman. _ _ SIR WALTER SCOTT.—The Hon. Mrs. NORTON we understand has paid a tribute to the memory of Sir WALTER SCOTT, in a poem which is to appear in the forthcoming number of the Court Magazine. The Commissioners of Stamps have signified their intention to lay informations against stationers and other tradesmen who sell silver pencil cases, and other articles of that description, without hariirg taken out the usual license, the annual expense of which is 21. Miss KEMBLE has written to her friends here, confirming her great success, and that of her father, in America, in consequence of which Air. KEMBLE has decided upon remaining two years there—passing one i❑ the northern, and one in the southern States.—Edin burgh Evening Courant. We mentioned last week PowEtt's forthcom ing play of Quentin Durward, re,Tirding which, from the dramatic nature of the plot, and the talent of the adapter of it to the stage, we have a right to anticipate very fa vourably. A serious impediment has, however, been thrown in the way of the performance of it at Drury-lane, by the rejection of the part of Louis XL by MACREADY he insists that, under his articles as " first tragedian," he cannot be called upon to sustain a character which has nothing tragic about it. This decision has occasioned some confusion in the theatre. and COOrElt has been called upon to fill 51AcaEAny's place ; but Captain PoLnit.i. openly avows his intention of inflicting the usual fine (501. we understand), upon MACREADY, the payment of which the " first tragedian" will probably resist. Captain POL.. HILL has so far the staff in his own hands, that he was able to withhold MACREADY'S week's salary, 301., due on Saturday, and we learn that he did accordingly refuse to pay it. The result may be an action at law, or MAC READY' may throw up his engagement. Possibly both these events will occur, arid they are both threatened. Observer. - Letters from Odessa to the 4th inst. state that place to be perfectly healthy. The accounts from Constantinople mention that the plague was on the in. crease there, and its ravages had extended to the quarter of the Jews, the Chief of the Synagogue having fallen a vic tim to its attack. The Turkish physicians have also de clared that some cases of cholera had made their appea, ance. Wheat maintained its price at Odessa, although the market was doll. The stock consisted of 325,000 t•chetwerts of tine, and 40,000 of inferior. There were also 13,000 quarters of Barley, 6,000 of oats, and 26,000 of other grain.

The financial representatives had also declined giving their s,nction to the levying of the taxes proposed by the Go vernor and President, unless admitted freely and without restriction to the doe rerfortnance of their duties as origi nally settled, viz., by the mernipts select.d on the part of the colonists, deliberating, in the first instance, along with the Governor and the Government Members, on the pro prietyof raising th e sum alleged by the Governor to be requisite This, on the occasion in question, was stated to he about 60,000/.

Yesterday was a busy and important day at Gordon Castle, the marriage of the Marquis of Abercorn with the beautiful and amiable Lady Louisa Russell, which has for some time past excited so much interest in the fashionable world, and which has been so often referred to in the public Journals, being then and there celebrated. For some days past Gordon Castle has been all bustle and animation in preparing for the auspicious event, and every day this week numerous distinguished personages Ii ive arrived at that princely mansion. On Monday his Grace the Duke of Bedford, with several of his friends, arrived, and the Duchess, the bride, and bridegroom on Tuesday. On Wednesday the Castle was thronged with noble visitors. The marriage ceremony took place yes terday, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Cole officiating on the occasion, and immediitely after the conclusion of the ceremony the happy pair set off for Hontly Lodge. The trosseau of the bride was of the richest description. The wedding-dress was of Chantilly blonde "d colonnes," and lined with white satin. The head-dress was a scarf of Chantilly blonde of the same design as the dress. The day being exceedingly fine, strangers poured into Fochabers from all parts of the surrounding coun try, anxious to witness the public rejoicings on the occasion. So early as one o'clock in the morning the rejoicings commenced. At that hour a large tire was kindled in the street of Fochabers, and in due time a fine large ox was roasted. When the nroce-s of roasting was completed the populace had the r x,with mother roasted in a different place, served up for dinner, of which they very heartily partook. When the marriage cere mony was concluded cannons were fired to announce it, and the immense multitude, assembled on the spacious green fronting the Castle, responded to the report of the cannons by three loud cheers; while all the workmen it, the employment of his Grace ranged themselves in regular order, headtd by the overseers of their several depart ments, all dressed in their best apparel, and wearing white favours in their hats. Preceded by an excellent band of music, part of which consisted of three bagpipers, they then marched in regular procession to the bridge of Sp y, the band playing all the while the appropriate Scotch tune of Woo'd and married and a'. Having reached the bridge, which is now pass ible for foot passengers, they paraded backwards and forwards till four o'clock, when they sat down to an excellent dinner prepared for the occa sion, and which was served upon tables extending from one end of the splendid bridge to the other. The spectacle of so many people sitting down to dinner on the bridge, with the majestic Spey rolling beneath them, and such magnificent scenery on either hand, was one of the roost striking which can well be imagined ; and the effect was greatly heightened by the surpassing fineness of the day. When the large party lead seated themselves for dinner his Grace and a number of his distinguished friends from the Castle arrived at the bridge, and were received with every demonstration of joy and respect. The rejoicings of the day were concluded by a ball in the evening, which was kept up with great spirit till early this morning, making fully twenty-four hours, during which many of the inhabitants of Fochabers and its vicinity were engaged in rejoicings and festivities on this happy occasion. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. A new Musical Drama was last night produced, under the title of The Doom-Kiss. The story is as follows : " Rudolph, the ancestor of the house of Zatenberg (Mr. H. PHILLIPS), has, for certain services received from Ornbroff, an evil spirit (Mr. HOWELL), promised to sacri fice the first son of each generation of Zar, nberg on his attaining his twenty-first birthday. This sacrifice is to be compassed by imprinting a kiss on the forehead of the victim. The present Count Zarcnberg (Mr. YouNcE) has twin sons, Adolphus and Wildebrande (Messrs. BRINDAL and STANLEY), one of whom the fiend claims on their approaching b , rth-oay. Both these youths are ena moured of the same lady, Elvina Burrs). Adolphus is the object of her affections, and Wildebrande, conse quently, endeavours to thwart his more fortunate brother by any means, however desperate or criminal. Rudolf, on discovering this state of affairs, resolves to make the wicked brother the object of the doom kiss, and rescue the more viquous one, but is foiled in his intention by the death of Wildebrande, who falls the victim of a villainous snare him-elf had contrived against his brother's life. Rudolph, now deprived of his alternative, finds himself compelled to nake Adolphus his victim. Ere the fatal hour, how ever, arrives, Elvina is visited by the spirit of Rudolph's wife, who puts her in possession of a rosary, the cross of which, if it touch the forehead of her lover, will save him tom a dreadful and close , y-impending fate. The charm a applied, the spell of the demon broken, and the wretched Rudolph, who had walked the earth to destroy his progeny through so many generations, is suffered to find the refuge of the tomb for which he had so long yearned." Besides these characters there were Eric, a ruffian, attached to lVildebrand (Mr. BEDFORD), and Gabriel (Mr. HAR LEY), the staunch friend of Adolphus and lover of Christine (Miss CAwsu), the att.ndant of Elvina. The piec e contain e d some very effective situations, and the in terest is well preserved to the last. The language is of the average merit of that to which we are accustomed in super natural Operas. The Drama is, we believe, the work of Mr. POCOCK, a writer who has generally been successful in his pieces of this description. The principal attractions, however, and those to which Tke Doom- h iss undoubtedly owes its success, are the new music by &SHOP, the splen did scenery by STANFIELD and other eminent artist', and thelirlightful singin, of PHILLIPS. A quintet in the first act and an air by Miss BETTS were both encored, and a similar honour was paid to the overture. The character of the music is well suited to the subject of the Opera, and contains some passages of great merit, aed even originality; bu t, as is usual with the compositions of Bistior, we are perpetually reminded of familiar strains. Parts of the first chorus, for instoace,recal his own Chough and Crow. The chief subject in the overture is founded on PAGANINI's Witches' Dance, and one of the chorusses contains some unaltered phrases from the opening chorus of MEYER BEER'S Robert la .Diable. We can scarcely particularise any individual portion of the scenery. It presents a series of effects which we have scarcely ever seen equalled for spirit, beauty, and variety. All the performers and singers exerted themselves to the utmost ; and Mr. PHILLIPS, who made his first appearance for the season, was most warmly greeted on his entrance. The house was very numerously I attended. His MAJESTY has had a very elegant tra velina post chariot just launch , d ; it is painted a bright yellow, and hung upon singularly light and durable springs. In this carriage the QUEEN will go to Brighton. The LORD CHANCELLOR receives the Judges, &c., on Friday, tLe first day of Term, in Lincoln's Inn Hall. The Duke of WELLINGTON has returned from his annual visit to the Marquis of SALISBURY, at Hatfield ; he will remain only a few days i❑ town, when he will go to Strathfieldsay, where a large party has bee❑ especially invited for the purpose of pheasant shooting. Prince TALLEYRAND, accompanied by the Duchess de DINo, paid a visit on Saturday afternoon to Earl ai:d Countess COWPER, at Pansanger, where Prince LIEVEN and a select party have been sojourning for some days. Prince TALLERAND returned to town yesterday morning. Lady WILLIAM . RUSSELL and family em b irked from Plymouth, on Friday, in the Britannia, 120, for Li , bon, to join Lord RUSSELL, who is on a special mission to Port ugd. It is said - the marriage of the Rev. Mr. PIIILLPOTTS, son of the Bishop Of EXETER, with Miss BULLER, a sister of J. W. BULLER, Esq., M.P., of Downs, near Exeter, will take place in a few days. As Lords STANLEY and TAVISTOCK have withdrawn from the representation of Lancashire and Bed , ordsliire, it is generally believed that they will he call,d up to the House of Lords. Lord UXBRIDGE, and possibly some other eldest sons of Peers, are, we think, likely to receive the same mark of RoyJ favour. , ---- Sir STRATFORD CANNING'S departure for St. Petersburgb will take place as soon as possible, it being now discovered, for the first time, by Ministers, how im portant it is to hive a representative of their own selecting at the Russian Court. The Hon. HENRY VALENTINE JERNING- I{Am, eldest son Of Lord STAFFORD (de CossEr), is ac credited Charge d'Affaires, pro tem., at the Court of the HAgne, in the room of the Hon. Mr. BLIGII, appointed Secretary of Legation at St. Pet , rsburgh. So unexpected, we understand, were the instructions received by Mr. BLUM to proceed to St. Petersburgh, teat time was barely afforded him to procure a travelling carriage and servants from the functions of tE L ng o l n i don English n i l lr as . s l3 ad L o i r G u H n w til il t l I p ie er a f r o r r iv m al a o li f Sir STRATFORD CANNING. 1 he total number of cases of cholera morbus, in South Shields, from the commencement of that dread - ful malady, is 531, out of which there h ave b een 151 deaths. We are happy to state, that it has now nearly sub sided, there braving been only two deaths this week. MADRID, OCT. 18. The Queen Regent shows the greatest indulgence for the press ; she is anxious to re-establish the publication of the Estafette of St. Sebastian, the object of which she knew to he to do great service to the cause of civilization, and of the circulation of news. Her Majesty probably has not 1 , 1-gotten the advocacy which the same paper put forth in 1830 in favour of the Anti-Salic law. We are in formed likewise that the official Gazette is to become more intereatin4, as it is to treat henceforward of politics, in accordance with the views of our Cabinet, but yet in a moderate tone. It is well known that it was through the influence of M. Calomarde that this Gazette was suspended. The principal measures of Government are postponed, until the arrival of M. Zea Bermudez. This Minister, it is now confidently thought, will carry into execution his project respecting the Post-office, which is so worthy of his talents. The effect of this arrangement will be, to cause the post to come from France three times a week, instead of twice, as at present. It is now quite certain that Ferdinand is by no means pleased with the Diplomatists of the North, in consequence of their conduct during his illness. The Queen is desirous of disposing of the effects which were once the property of the Tribunal of the Inquisition. It is well known that our Government had obtained a bull from the Pope to this effect, but that M. Calotnarde did not wish to profit by the opportunity, lest he should give offence to Don Carlos's party. d'Ofalia goes to London as Envoy-Extraordinary, to replace M. Zea (Salvador), the brother of the Minister, and to remain there as Charge d'Affaires. Through the instrumentality of the Queen, the young Duke of St. Fernando has been promoted to the rank of Field-Marshal. Lieut.-General Sarsfield has been appointed Captain- General of Estremadura. Since Admiral Laborde is confirmed in his appointment to the service of the King at the Havannah, hia place, as Minister of Marine, ha, been filled up by the Queen, and he his received the order of the Grand Cross of Charles the Third. _ The Duc de Castro Terreno has been nominated C tptaio-General of Old Caitile, in the room of Don Jose O'Donnell. Yesterday a song was heard sung in the part of the city occupied by the lower orders, which contained satires on the Queen. The King and Roy 1 Family arrived 3 esterday at Madrid. Throughout the morning a crowd of the people of the metropolis proceeded on the road to St. Ildefonso to see their Majesties. The troops in the neighbourhood of Madrid and La , ;range were stationed on the road, in order to escort the Royal carriages. The instant their Majesties appeared in sight, cries of " Long Eve the King," were raised, and were continued without interruption until their Majesties arrived at the Palace. We may expect shortly to see decrees of the greatest importance promulgated. BAYONNE, OCT. 22.—M. de l'Alcudia arrived here yesterday. Letters from Vigo stale that the squadron of Don Miguel left on the 12th. AMERICAN PAPERS. By the packet.ships Pacific and General Washing ton, which arrived at Liverpool on Sunday, we have re ceived files of New York papers from the 25th ult. to the 10th inst. The only foreign news they contain relates to Mexico. We subjoin some extracts:— " Mn.. PEDRAZA.—We are happy to have it in our power to announce, that the second missio❑ from Mexico to Mr. Pedraza, to urge him to return to his country in the character of President of the Republic, has been suc cessful. Private letters, from unquestionable sources, were received in this city yesterday from Bedford Springs, bringing the gratifying intelligence, that after an interview with Messrs. Zerezero and Soto, the Commissioners, Mr. Pedraza, in the spirit and with the views which we con fidently expected from him, yielded to the wishes of his country. He is to set off for Mexico on the 2d of Oc tober, accompanied by those gentlemen ; and, embarking on the Ohio, will take passage at New Orleans in the Mexican Government vessel Bello India, which awaits his orders. He will probably he landed in his na tive country in a very short time; and, we sincerely hope will he able to effect all the good which his friends with reason anticipate. " Moxlico.—Letters from Tampico to the 4th of Sep tember were received yesterday, via New Orleans. " TAMPICO, Ana. 27.—We learned by the mails of yesterday that the troops at Matamoras had declared against the Government, and had imprisoned their com mander, Glonel Peredas ; also that General Bustamente had left the capital, and was at the city of Queretaro, or ganizing some forces ; and that General Montezuma would leave San Luiz to march against him in a tew days with an army of 500 or 600 men. The scene of warfare is now approaching the capital, and probably it will only be determined there. Although we, as foreigners, have re mained strictly neutral during the present contest, yet the party of Santa Anna has always bad our most fervent wishes for its success. It is the cause of liberty and in dependence, of free institutions, free opinions, and free trade. On its fate depend the security of our property and of our persons, and the very happiness of the whole nation. The present Administration have rendered them selves obnoxious by too many arbitrary acts not to be known well to you. The military has superseded the civil authority, commerce has been shackled by a thousand serious innovations, the beautiful territory of Texas loaded with 11 thous ind oppressions, and the whole system had been upheld by a licentiaus, intolerant, and ignorant priesthood. You may not wonder then that the whole nation has risen en masse to demand its rights, and you will wonder if they do not obtain them. A very disa greeable occurrence has recently taken place in this port, which has created no little feeling of resentment against usin this place, aed I wish to communicate the facts, in order that the truth may be known amongst you. It appears that a small schooner belonging to the liberating squadron, and commanded by a Mexican, has robbed an American vessel near Matamoras of some few articles. This came to the knowledge of Lieutenant Tatnall, of the United States schooner Grampus, then at Matamoras, who immediately proceeded to this place and took possession of the vessel a few days after his arrival. This mischief was all very well, and no fault would have been found with him by the autho rities here. B u t th e vesse l was conveying 63 t roops f rom their Lieutenant commander'fa t n a 1 1 was had in in Ta fi,r in m p e i d co se awaiting their persons arri previousval Texas in ord e r t o re i n f orce the army at S in L u i z, and to the capture of the vessel that be would land the soldiers at the bar, and also inform the authorities, through the Consul, of his motives for taking the vessel. But after taking possession of her, he immediately proceeded with both vessels to sea, without holding any communication with the shore, and leaving his countrymen resident here to stiffer fir his extraordinary conduct. We have felt it the more, as these troops were destined to aid a cause of which every American must be a well-wisher, and their commander, Colonel Alexia, is one of the finest officers in the service.—illercantile Advertiser. " FROM MExxco.—We have before us a letter from Vera Cruz, written on the 27th of August, received by the Escar, at New Orleans. " The state of Chiapas has declared in favour of Ptdra za's return to the Presidency. The State of Guanagirito has declared itself neutral on the present question. No c hange had taken place in the positions of Santa Anna's and Facio's armies, at and near Orizaba. 44 We learn from the Registro Official of Mexico, August 19, the names of the new Ministry, our late list of which was not quite correct, Fagoaga is Minister of Foreign Relations, Godoy of Justice and Ecclesiastical Af fairs, Alas of the Treasury, and Iberri of War. The editor pretends that Bustantente's resignation of the Presidency, and the appointment of this Cabinet, are in compliance with the demands of the Opposition; but it appears to be only another shift to which necessity alone has impelled them. LATER Fittest MExico.—We received yesterday a file of the Vera Cruz Censor to the 13th ult. 44 'The South has declared in favour of M. Pedraza ; the o fficial papers being published in the Censor of the 1 1 th, viz , the pronunciatniento of the fortress of San Diego de Acapulco, and two proclamations from Gen. Alvarez. 44 The armies of Montezuma and Bustamente were still watching each other, and the General had issued short pa-amations, dated August 30 an d S eptem b er 1, b ot h o f a warlike character. Bustamente had sent Costazar to ho ld an interview with his opponent previously to this, but without any effect. .4 A private letter, dated at Queretara, September 1, states, that Montezuma had 9,000 men , an d B ustamente only 4,000. MEXICO, SEPT. 5 —The Government have given F ac i e . his quarters, and General J. Rincon the command of the general. 44 It was reported at Vera-Cruz that Colonel Aristo, o n his return to Alorelia, had been attacked by a party of C o lonel Quijano, and in the skirmish was dangerously wounded. " The Government have ordered that passengers be per mitted to travel between Vera-Cruz and Mexico, but letters are not suffered to pass. " Almost the entire state of Morelia bad declared for Pedraza. " The Congress of Campeachy have given their votes to Bravo and Muzquiz. " The Leeislature of the state of Mexico, on the Ist, voted for Bravo as President, and Bastamente as Vice- President. The southern part of that state has delcared for Pedraa, and offered 2,000 men to Santa Anna." FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Message,. des Chambres, dated Monday.) RECEIVED THIS DAY. The Cabinet has put forth the following note : it ap pears very precise, but, in our opinion, adds nothing to the credit which has been deserved hitherto by all the equally precise declarations which have been made upon the Hollando-Belgic question : " Many conjectures have been made upon the resolu tions which have just been adopted by the Powers. It would appear, according to the assertions most worthy of credit, that England and France have signed a convention, having for its object a demand in common for the execu tio❑ of the treaty of Nov. 15. The conditions of this convention are, it is said, very precise. The Kings of Belgium and Holland are to be summoned on the Qd of November next, severally to evacuate the places they oc cupy in the territory of the other. If on the 2d of Nov. their consent be not given to this evacuation, the combined squadrons will sail on the sth to commence a blockade of their ports ; and if on the 12th the evacuation be not made, the French will, on the 15th, march upon Ant werp. Such is said to be the treaty which limits the King of Holland within precise terms—which solemnly cem,nts the union of France and England—and which, in assuring us the near solution of the Belgic question, will prevent it from becoming the cause of a general war. It is adifed, and this is certain, that a❑ estafette started yesterday evening for Cherbourg, to bear the French squa dron orders to sail for Spithead. HAMBURG MAIL. STOCKHOLM, OCT. 19.—The permission given by the Russian Government to import corn, duty free, into East Hochnia, is to be in force till July, 1833. The cholera having appeared in Norway, to the South of the mountains, travellers coming from that country by land will not be admitted unless they take the road through Koningsweiger and Magnor. They must prove that 14 days have elapsed since they were in any infected place, and nine days since they have been in any suspected place. BERLIN, OCT. 23.—His Majesty the King left Top!its on the 20th in the morning : he stopped a few hours at Grossenhager, and then continued his journey to Potsdam and Berlin. The Princess of Leynitz has also arrived from Toplitz. Her Majesty the Queen of Holland is expected here in a few days; she will remain till after the delivery of ber daughter, the Princess Albert. Tne chief directi,n and management of the line of tele graphs, which will be carried also to the East, to Marien werdor and Konigsberg, is given to Lieutenant• General Von Krauseneek.

OCT. 24.—Count Berneshoff, Minister of State, has returned from Mecklenburg. Duke William of Brunswick dined on the 20th at Pilnitz with the King of Saxony, and set out the next day for Vienna. HESSE DARMSTADT, OCT. 15.—We hear from good authority, that cur Estates will not be assembled till the beginning of January, 1833, and that the Session will be short, as all subjects of deliberation, except the Budget, which would require lung discussion, will be deferred. It is said on this subject that the presentation of a new code for the Grand Duchy will be put off; that the subject of commerce and the Customs admits of no further discus sion, on account of the renewal of the convention with Prussia; and that the question of the freedom of the Press will be disposed of by the organic law relative to the Press, which may be expected to be promulgated by that time by the German Diet, and which will be binding on all the States of the Confederation.

The following articles have been resolved upon in the twenty-fourth sitting of the German Diet. (Here follow the six articles.) In making known to all the authorities and public functionaries of our do minions the said resolutions, which are conformable to the obligations originally contained in the Act of Confederation, we add that our acquiescence in those resolutions makes no change whatever in the enactments of our Constitution ; that on the contrary, they will by this tnean• be more strictly observed in all the proceedings of the Government of the public functionaries and their representatives, con formably to the object of the Act of Confederation.

SPIRE, OCT. 20.—From the official accounts published by the journals of Hesse and others, it appears that in the course of the present year the west and south-west coun tries of Germany have lost 30,000 inhabitants by emigra tion to America, and it is likely that in the next spring they will lose 20,000 more, since the desire of emigrating has spread to districts which none of the inhabitants had before abandoned in this tnanner.—Frankfort Papers, Oct. 23. Aucsnuac, Ocr 21.—The Volksblatt (popular jour nal) of 13aden, contains a declaration of Counsellor Von Roteck, that he is neither a partaker in, nor a promoter or panegyrist of, the plan of emigrating to America ; but, on the contrary, that be believes that in the present times every emigrant may be reproached with neglect of his duty or with cowardice, unless very peculiar circum stances justify his resolution. The Carlsruhe Gazette contains a warning given by a German settled in Ame rica, against joining in any plan of emigration, founded on the union of property in one common stock and joint labour, as such a plan cannot be executed but to the de triment of the majority, and to the promotion of the sel fish views of a few, as similar attempts, for instance, that of M. Rupp, of Wurtemburg, had proved to what a fright-. ful despotism in the chiefs such associations lived even in the land of freedom. CANAL TRAVELLING.—On Saturday a new iron boat, called the Reformer, was launched on the Glasgow and Edinburgh canal, on which it is intended to ply by night with goods and passengers. It has three excellent cabins, one for ladies, one for gentlemen, and one for inferior passengers. Sixty passengers can be accom modated in a superior manner. The length of the vessel is sixty-five feet, her breadth ten feet ; besides passengers, she carries ten tons of goods. Another similar vessel is constructed. One is t leave Edinburgh, the other Glas gow, every evening, at six o'clock, and to make the pas sage in twelve hours. PREACHING EXTRAORDINARY IN I RE . AN se'nnight, Lord MA NDEVILLE, son of the D.O Dukea Sunday of MANCHESTER, preached a t a M ethodist chapel, near Lurgan, in the county of A rmagh. Th e LAND.—On announ cement of his Lordship's i ntent ion collected an immense congregation, tar beyond what the chapel could contain. His Lordship took fur his test, " He that corneal to me I will in no wise cast out." Before Lis Lordship left the chipel, he announced to the congregation, that his gold watch had been stolen during his passage through the crowd, after descending from the pulpit. This announce ment caused great confusion. THE BRISTOL RIOTS. FIFTH DAY. KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE ICING V. PINNEY, ESQ. The examination of witnesses for the defence com menced this morning. Lord Tenterden was absent also to day, and it was stated that he was labouring under a severe indisposition. Mr. W. H. Hare, examined by Mr. CAMPBELL-Was Under Sheriff of the city of Bristol, and had been so for 13 years, and practised as an attorney in partnership with Mr. Little. There were two Sheriffs and one Under Sheriff acting for both. On the 17th October, 1831, the quarter sessions for the city were held and the Magistrates were assembled. On that occasion there was a discus sion as to what should be done when Sir C. Wetherell came as Recorder to hold a gaol delivery, a disturbance being apprehended. It was there resolved that witness should come to London to wait on the Recorder and on Lord Melbourne, the Secretary of State. He was accom panied by Mr. Burgess, the city solicitor, and Alderman Fripp joined them in London on the following morning. They saw Sir Charles Wetherell and consulted with him on the expediency and propriety of laolchig the gaol de livery. The Recorder said it was absolutely necessary to hold the assizes. Alderman Fripp, Mr. Burgess, and witness saw Lord Melbourne on the s ime day, and he expressed the same opinion, that it was absolutely necessary to hold the assizes. His Lordship said that a contrary course would be an itu proper succumbing to the public feeling, and he treated it as a question that admitted of no doubt. Witness de scribed to his Lordship the state of public feeling in Bris tol, and the apprehension entertained by the Magistrates. The following day they had another interview with Lord Melbourne, when Sir Charles Wetherell attended also, at Mr. Fripp's request. Witness then also stated the nature of the Magistrates apprehensions. Lord Melbourne pro mised the assistance of troops, and when witness asked what number, his Lordship appeared surprised at the ques tion. Witness assigned as his reason, that he feared the nature of a mob in Bristol was not understood. Lord Melbourne said the troops should be sent, but he wished that they should not be used but in the last extremity, and that they should not be taken into the town in order that it should not appear that the people were under military control; he also said that the usual mode of receiving the Recorder should not be departed from. On returning to Brice I, the Magistrates directed witness to report what force was sufficient, and he reported that about 300 constables would be sufficient. On other occasions, par ticularly as contested elections, there had been riots and breaking the Mansion-house, such as was done on the Saturday night; he therefore thought 300 constables were sufficient. It had always been found that a comparatively few number of constables acted with greatest effect; they had at one time 700, but they reduced the number gradually to 300. Witness applied to the chief constable of each ward to raise that force, and he pointed out what steps should be taken to obtain a coalition with all the forces ; his endeavours were however ineffectual; the ward of Trinity alone furnished the number for that ward ; the whole num ber raised was not more than 200. The Magistrates then desired him to hire as many constables as would make up the number wanted. That was done, and witness after wards paid for 119 constables. On the Saturday morning the constables assembled ; every exertion was made for their organization. They assembled about eight o'clock in the Exchange ; saw the Mayor that morning about a quarter before eight, and reported to him that everything was ready. The Mayor went to the Exchange and saw the constables, and addressed them upon the duty they had to perform. They then proceeded to receive the Re corder. The distance was shortened ; they usually went about 2- 1 • miles on the road to meet him, and that was shortened. They also went at an earlier hour than usual, to anticipate the congregating of the peo ple, and it certainly had that effect. They went to meet him at 10 o'clock, and about 11 o'clock the pro cession returned to the Guildhall. When they started there was but a small crowd, but on returning it increased very much. Very violent and exciting language was used, particularly by women. A great pressure was made on. the constables, many of whom were much hurt, but no actual violence took place until they got to the bridges about 500 yards from the Guildhall. They met him et Totterdown, which was two miles nearer than the usual place. Between the bridge and the Guildhall, a constable was wounded, and blood streamed from his head. Stones were flying in all directions. The popular vengeance seemed particularly excited against the hired constables, and there were cries of " You have sold your coun try, and we will pay you for it. ' At the door of the Guildhall the Recorder paused, as if he wished to say something. Witness was standing by him when a number of stones were thrown, one of which struck witness. On holding the Assizes it was usual to read the Charter at the Guildhall; that was done on this occasion, but there was an universal yelling and shouting ; that was repressed, and the reading o f the Charter proceeded. The Recorder was then conducted 10 the Mansion-house in the Mayor's coach, attended by the Mayor and sword-bearer. The other Aldermen also went there. On their road the mob became more violetp as far as pressure was concerned ; the constables had s trict orders to use no violence without witness's orders, and 00 no account to break their ranks. At the 'Mansion-hous e the Magistrates were assembled ; that was about 12 o'clock. Immediately Sir Charles Wetherell got I.': r 4 stones were thrown, and the mob w e r e partially do persed. There was a comp ar ative q u i e t un til half- P OB two or three o' c lo c k, an d t h e Ma g i s t ra t es conse quentir thought that it would b e pr o p e r t o t a k e Si r Charles 10 church the following morning a s usua l.

A df had been raised as to the t ight o f the Sheriff l„ interfere with the troops, anti witness wished to have that point cleared up. On the Sunday a fternoo n witness requested Colonel Brereton to remove his trt)a Pa to the quarters provided for them, and a t h a lf-past three , o'clock witness left Colonel Brereton, w h o , h e understo od ' was going to send for the troops. Witness returned to the Mansion-house. The mob increased greatly in Quee n.. ~ square at three o'clock and aft erwar d s; t h e Ri ot Act read, but witness was not present when it was first rea.• Tie chief constable pressed very much f or th e erriphV ie !' of the military. Witness mentioned that to the Mar . trates, and the town clerk also wished them to be sent 1 , .r : Sir C. Wetherell went to the window, and said ther w." no excuse fur the employment of the military, ? I c. Burgess, the city solicitor, was of the same opinion Witness admitted there was not then any ground for calling in the military, but he knew there would be. There was a strong feeling of public opinion in the city respecting the Reform Bid, a nd as Sir Charles Wetherell bad said there was a re -action it seemed determined to show that there was no re.actioo , That was indeed the answer the witness got when he ap' plied for assistance the constables of the ward of St' Mary Rateliff in particular, through the chief constable' said, if they were called on, th e y wou l d do their duty, an d protect Sir Charles 'Wetherell, but on no account whatev' would . they ask a single p erson to put himself in sueb,,3 situation to protect such a map. The re was a strong low' position, from political feeling, to assist the Magistrat e. Before the Mayor addressed the crowd there were g reat violence, outcries again s t Si r Charles Wetherell, and stone s had been thrown at t h e Mansion•house ; 9°6:Jl persons had been t a k en for throwin stones and sent down to B r id ewell, but the coustables w ere attacked, and th e pr i soners rescued • a body of constables wh o h a d b een sent for refreshments, were e attacked and ill use d . The Mayor came our stood . °ll a chair and addressed the mob, requesting them to d i4 ( l perse, or he should be obliged to read the Riot Act i t j a to disperse them. They heard him fur a minute or t i ;i, and then sent a volley of stones at the Mayor and 0 , people in a party, before he finished his address. He, however, ° a l tinned to address them, and displayed no want of coilr" t r le through . the whole proceeding ; witness never ea sl . s a slightest shrinking or apprehesion in the Mayor's zntt •o the , only instance of hesitation that he saw was fie e Catb ptain Gage suggested the necessity of firing on, far particular direction, and then he appearc u aa ii some seconds in a sort of struggle with his feeling"' , e ," at last said, "They [inlet be fired on if they won't dispe r ii ii, That was late in th e e vening.
