LONDON sAIiuUpAY, JANUARY 4, 1540. A grand dinner, wjth excellent effect, was given on Thursday at Wolverb.‘mpton to the two de servedly popular M e mbers for' that borough —Mr. IL LIERS and ?Ir. TH.ORNELY. An account 'V of this meeting , abrid g ed from the Stairora7.-1 shire Examiner, will be found in another part of The Sun. The very important documents gjoted by the latter gentleman, which tend to .7how that the Corn-laws will most probably trade with the United States, as ruin Car they have slready ruined our trade with the Conti nent of Europe,• we have left in extenso, and beg that our readers w:11 peruse them with the attention they deserve. Those _laws leave the Americans no , easy means of paying their debts to us, and they propose to aug ment the duties on English manu factured goods to redress the balance. Our trade with the United States supports upwards of a mil lion of our pop ulation ; and to have them added to the present unemployed or half -employed terri manue - f ac turers—if the p eo p le do not, hy some bl exertion, either help themselves or cause the authouce - rities to slaughter them wholesale—wiil. red the hulk o f the manufacturing population 1:.."` the miserable condition of the Hindoos, or to the *ill more degraded condition of the Lumper fed, but Corn -law-blessed and protected, inhabi tants of Ireland. Turning from Mr. THORNELI'S documents, w ffich we recommend to our readers, we must notice a pare of M r. VILLIERS' s peech which we cannot find room to insert at length. After pointing out the conjoint operation of the Corn-laws and the Currency monopoly, each in its turn c ompleting the evil whieli the other leaves undone, affording a pleasant s ight for SATAN to see the poor crushed in this wok Id, and their oppressors earning the hot test places in his dominions hereafter, Mr. 'VIL LIERS said it was against the " giant monopoly of 1 the Corn-laws that they ought especially to direct ' their attention." We find this a prevailing senti- A l et t e r from Sunderland conjures the went. 1 abolition of these la ws be their people to let th e abo • 1 great and nobie work for this new year. But the I people, as Mr VILLIERS said, must depend on themselves. " Every measure," he said, and we quote his words here to make them as impressive as possible— ,. Every measure of public improvement has been carried by the efforts of those of the class of life to whom I am now addressing myself ; and I feel satisfied that this Government, or any Government, are in t o hat' con dition at this period of our history that they yield to the impression which the educated and middle classses make upon them. There are 400 men, at least, banded together in the ..lotase a Commons who declare that no change shall t ,lO place, at p r esent s in the Corn-laws. I say, then, i f , i t Oe s eason for men, who know what the public are en titled 1 / 4 t , t o come forward , and m ake offers orcompro mi,, w ith : den so unreasonable ?—(Hear, hear.) The , question isnCt then, what arrangements shall we make ; between e power which we c annot over the question is . insist co m aintaining the law pr ecisel y as it turn , who i is, and those who assert that the pub lic have a right to the repeal of these re laws. ho Had those who i s latu, and w represent the o ppose us in the Ln .forward with any re asonable landed interest, come o li s ten to our request , we schemes, and sa id, will y verments ; but as they m i g ht have attended to their ..? p e ct the total repeal did not do so , we ha ve a ri g ht to a- p. to allow millers of those laws. There was a propositi,.: e foreign grain and merchants to avail themselves of th, nort to our which was in b ond ; and to allew them to ex, colonies wiret the y held under lock and key 1 I 0 ware houses, and it was rejected with the utmoto do but t' m st icon. • sa y, then , Gentlemen, you have n othing depend on yourselves. I regret extremely the neces sity of advising you to agitate ; I know the disturb ance to business that agitation upon any question causes.—(Hear, and cheers.) I know it defeats the purposes of representative Government that men should be o bliged to take the law into their own hands ; but it is actually n ecessary." Mr. VILLIERS preaches flat treason, and we must repeat his lessons. His voice will be echoed, wo, t hroughout the manufacturing districts, and out of the continued injustice of the Legislature, in maintaining the Devil's laws, there has already i~', grown, and there is fast growing, a contest to destroy the law and the Constitution. Nor is there any chance that against justice and a hungry people the landlords and the law can prevail? By the Corn-laws property is confounded with an odious tax and placed in jeopardy, and now they are array ing the people against the Constitution, which being no better than rotten parchment without their sup port, will pass into dust and oblivion. But if the people of the manufacturing districts I are disposed to help themselves, as they appear to be, we fear they must not rely much on the metropolis. There was an excellent and numerous meeting at Leeds on the last day of the old year, the MAYOR in the Chair, at which resolutions for the total repeal of the Corn-laws were passed, and a petition adopted in spite of some opposition on the part of the Chartists, who wanted to petition for the overthrow of the present House of Com mons. One of the resolutions described the Corn laws as " at variance with the laws of GOD and the rights of humanity." Such is proper lan guage, and it is needless to add that they are also inimical to the interests of society. At Liverpool, says the Mercury, a requisi tion, very numerously signed, has been presented to the MAYOR, and a meeting fixed for Thursday to consider of the best means to co-operate with the Anti-Corn-law agitators. At Sunderland, we are informed, that an intended meeting has been given up because the Magistrates dread a breach of the peace. " It would seem," says our Correspondent, " that the holding of a public meeting in Sunderland has become a matter of great difficulty. There can be no doubt that this has been brought about by the insane conduct of the Chartists, who have for a c onsiderable time made a point of attending all public meetings, and attempted to force their own nostrums upon them, no matter for what purpose they might be called. They have thus rendered themselves odious—done irretrievable damage to their own cause—and very seriously retarded the progress of improvement." We write, as if the destruction of the Constitution were yet to take place ; but wlren the citizens of a town cannot assemble together to petition the Legislature, the Constitution is already practically at an end. The dearest and best rights, whether by the violence of the mob or the tyranny of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL is of no consequence, are overthrown. Opinion is stifled, and the unrighteous landlords, forming a practical alliance with a violent mob to put down discussion, fear not the retribution which they would dread, could the citizens assem ble and freely declare their opinions. Perhaps the great calamities which are impending over the country, the destruction of all well regu lated freedom, the growth of violence, the increase of pauperism, distress, and despair, may at length startle the inhabitants of London, and induce them to help the Anti-Corn-law agitators of the North. At present, however, the metropolis is dead to this all-important question. It has no voice on a mat ter which concerns the welfare of the empire. The Queen of Cities has ceased to be the home of pa triots, and the noble spirit of her BECKFORDS has given place to the meanness of money-scriveners. Like the inhabitants of Sunderland, they are afraid to meet in public ; and by their fear they allow their best privilege to fall into desuetude. We are aware that they do not yet feel the dis tress which afflicts Ireland and ti e manufacturing districts ; London is half supported by the taxes. The plunder of the landlords is spent here. The Londoners are receivers of the stolen goods. The judges, the clergy, the tradesmen, the professional men who depend on them, or on the general busi ness of the Law Courts, all the monied classes, all the holders of Bank Stock, all those who are dig , counting at from six to twelve per cent., feel no thing of the distress which afflicts so large a por tion of the manufacturing community. These classes constitute the bulk of the influential people of the metropolis, and there is no motive why they s hould risk the disturbance of a public meet ing, invaded by the Chartists, in order to procure a repeal of the Devil's laws. They will only bd touched when the revenue begins to fall off, and till then we must repeat Mr. VIL LIERS' advice to the manufacturers of the north : they must depend on themselves—they must help themselves, and place no reliance for aid in pro curing the repeal of the Corn-laws on the once lirited and free inhabitants of the metropolis. We are glad to see that Sir FREDERICK POL LOCK had the manliness to tell the Judges, at Mon mouth, that the custom of overruling objections, and allowing trials to go on, though it have existed for ages, could not be too soon altered. We yesterday made a few remarks to show that the custom was unjust, and that in fact the Judges, by declaring the law, actually made an ex post facto law. Sir FREDERICK POLLOCK quoted the case of WALSHE, who was convicted, and though it was dexid.;:d by the Judges, on such a reserved point of law, that he ought to have bee❑ acquitted, the man was attainted life. We are disposed to conclude, therefore, that we .!hall have Sir FREDE RICK POLLOCK'S sanction for Ole observations we yesterday made. If we do not misunderstand the case in questio:l, it differs much from ordinary cases of reserved points of law. In general the Judge is clear as to the law, but the Counsel objects to the law as the Judge lays it down ; and it is the objection to the Judge's law which is reserved for the con sideration of the Superior Court. But in this case, so far as we can understand it, the opinion of the Judges coincides with that of Sir F. PoL LOCK. They are afraid, however, so to decide, be cause no other Judges have previously made a law on the subject, or given a decision on it. Such a circumstance seems to us a sufficient ground to stop the trial, which would be infinitely better than to make an ex post facto law by which Mr. FROST may be hanged. Judge TINDAL is a humane man, and we would suppose that he should have been ra ther pleased to get such a good plea for allowing the unhappy men at once to escape. The disposition of this age, averse from bloodshed, would have re joiced at the mistake, and its consequence—the libe ration of the prisoners. It is more ready to honour the feeling which prompts a Judge to interpret a point of law to exonerate an unfortunate or guilty prisoner, than a JEFritiEs-like eagerness to strain a point to obtain a conviction. The collision between the Civil and the Ecclesi astical Powers in Scotland is no longer confined to the men of gowns and wigs. The people are begin ning to enter warmly into the affair, and before long, if we may judge from appearances, all Scotland will be in a ferment. The contest lies between the sober advocates of the supremacy of the law, and the en thusiasts who stand up for the independence of the Kirk. The violent proceeding by which the Com mission of the General Assembly—a packed Com mission consisting almost exclusively of Vetoists— suspended seven clergymen of one Presbytery, for i ;o other crime than yielding obedience to the au thor:v of the highest Civil Court in the country, e xcited the astonishment of all right naturally' thinking mt.'" It could not fail to affect the congregations of ;ers with a feeling of deep in the suspended mitr i s dignation, that pastors, whom they loved an d c respected, should hav e a brand of disgrace publicly s tamped upon them without cause ; b wreaat i on s accordingly resented the an in d sult. their on- The nhabitants of the seven parishes held meetings, and drew up resolutions, in which they expressed their disapprobation of the course pursued by the Com mission, their attachment to their ministers, and their determination to stand by them to the last. These proceedings were followed by an Injunction from the Court of Session, restraining the Clergy men, directed by the Commission to occupy the pulpits of their suspended brethren, from setting a foot within Church, Church-yard, parish-school, or any of the other parochial precincts appertaining to the State, and the aforesaid Clergymen were re duced to the humiliating position of being barred out of the Churches, and of announcing the illegal sentence of their employers in public-houses, in the highways, or wherever they could find a few strag- gling hearers to listen to them. A public meeting was next held at Aberdeen at which the LORD PROVOST presided, and at which were passed resolutions condemning the conduct of the Commission as harsh, arbitrary, and illegal, but professing, at the same time, sincere at tachment to the Church of Scotland, as established by law. The Vetoists saw that if things were allowed to go on in this way, their cause was lost. Something must be done to counteract the spirit of opposition to their pet Act before it spread over Scotland, and with this view the Rev. Messrs. CUNNINGHAM and CANDLISH, of Edinhurgh, the two most violent partizans of the obnoxious Commission, are despatched to Perth, to get up a meeting in favour of " non-intrusion," ea they falsely term their veto, which took place on Friday last. Another meeting of the same kind was held at Greenock last week, at which a Dr. MACFARLAN delivered a very long and very warm speech, in the course of which he declared that he was ready to give up all that he received from the State, rather than submit to the law of the land in ecclesiastical matters. We are sorry to perceive that some of the speakers at this meeting attempted to give a political turn to the question. 'This is highly imprudent—it is particularly repre hensible in a Clergyman. Dr. MACFARLAN has taken the proper view of the platter. He has no objections to be a mem ber of an endowed and law-established Church, but he cannot submit to be governed in matters of conscience by human laws. That being the case he is ready to renounce all for conscience sake ; he is willing that the connexion between Church and State should be severed at once. We cannot but applaud this honesty of purpose, and strongly re commend it to Dr.CHALMERS and others who are, in our opinion, a little too anxious to unloose the knot which they can cut in an instant. We have received to-day the important pamphlet just published by Mr. JONES LOYD, on the ►na nagement of the circulation during 1839. We can not now discuss its merits, and should not advert to the subject, were it not that we see a Morning Contem porary seeks to create •or continue a prejudice against perfectly free banking, by describing the issue of bank-notes as coining money. It is no such thing. It has no resemblance to coin ing money. A man, whether a banker or not, borrows of his neighbours and friends, giving them his notes of hand, or his promises to pay on demand, or at a certain date, which is no more like coining money than it is like making watches. We shall enter further into the sub ject on Monday. But we could not allow even this day to pass without protes t ing against such an ,unfair and such a mischievous misdeicrcption. Leiters and papers from Madrid of the 26th I ult. have been received. ESPARTERO had charged himself with the responsibility of M. LINAGE'S letter, and the Ministry terrified by the apprehension of being driven out of office, af fected to be satisfied. The General-in-Chief had likewise cancelled the Ministerial order for the re moval of Generals SEOANE and VALDEZ from their respective Captain-Generalships. A despatch from Valencia informed the Minister of War that that the QuEEN's troops had taken the town and fortress of Chulilla. The French Journals of Thursday publish the New Year's Day Addresses of the Diplomatic Body, the Chambers, the Council of State, the Municipality of Paris, and a host of other public functionaries to the KING, with his MAJESTY'S answers. They consist of the usual common places on such occasions, and are equally devoid of truth and sincerity. Their publication is a satire upon the French nation. The Commerce of Thursday states that General SCHNEIDER, the Minister of War, is to exchange his seat in the Cabinet for a command in Africa. This is likely to lead to a complete modification of the Cabinet. The KING is tired of M. TESTE, so that he will be one of the rejected. We have reason to know that M. GuIZOT is already in treaty for the Department of the Interior. Letters from Vourla, of the 10th ult. announce that the entire British fleet was still lying in that bay. It was said that five French sail-of-the-line had been or dzred home, with Rear-Admiral La Susse, and that the Jena, ;Montebello, Santi Petri, and Hercule would alone w i nter at Vourla. On the 6th, whilst Admiral Leland° was inspecting the Diademe, a boarding axe fell on the head of Lieuten.:.qt Coulomb, who only survived a few hours. The Courrier de Lyon states, on the authority of a letter from Lausanne, dated 26th ultimo, that one of the battalions of that place has received orders to hold itself in readiness to march to the Valais, where a sanguinary contest was expected, as the country was said to be in a state of open revolt. The letter adds, that three of the federal representatives, in their mission to complete the official list cf th voters of the Lower Valais, had been grossly insulted, and compelled to seek refuge at Sion. Mr. Bell has arrived safely at Sinope, after breaking the Russian blockade on the coast of Circassia. BOURSE.--PATisx,st Tii ii va ig s b n e a st v, u lt w N es . t 2. Last Price Price. Price.

RoEBER l BY A SERVANT.—John Russell, a decent looking young man. was charged with stealing from his master, Mr. Hoskins , boot and shoemaker, residing in Madden-street, M an chester-square, a canvass bag con taining a Bank of England note for 501., and three sovereigns. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that on the night of the 26th ult. he placed the bag contain ing the money in question in the right-hand pocket of his coat, and, on the following morning, forgetting the circumstance, he gave the coat to the prisoner and directed him to brush it. He then went out and returned in about an hour, when he found the prisoner had absconded, and witness never saw him after until yesterday, when he was brought in custody to his house by his (prosecutor's) brother. The Bank note for .501., now produced was the same that he placed with the three sovereigns in the canvas bag. The prisoner, when asked what induced him to commit the robbery, said that the bag fell upon the floor, and on ascertaining its contents, he had ■ot sufficient reso lution to withstand the temptation, and he accordingly made off with the money. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. THE MARKETS•-(THIS DAY.) COVRNT GARDEN. All things considered, the supply of vegetables was good, and so was the demand. The attendance was rather scanty.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, FRIDAY.—Since the returns of stock, &c., on the 31st ult. were made, the Market has assumed a more steady and healthy appear ance, and for American descriptions prices are about id. per lb. higher, but for Brazil there is not any im provement but rather a disposition to sell at more cur rent rates ; and for Egyptian -id. per lb. has been con ceded ; in Surat there is not any change. Speculators have taken 2,000 bales of American, and exporters 800 American and 200 Surat. The sales to-day are from 4,000 to 5,000 bales of all kinds, chiefly American. The Cambridge, New York packet, arrived at Liver pool on the sth ult. at 3 P.M. ; off Sandy Hook, spoke the Liverpool steamer, then entering the Port. ---- _ __ Arrivals this morning—French Mail ; and ship let ters from Lima, Demerara, St. Kitt's and Berbice ; Calcutta, 30th July ; Cape of Good Hope, '2Bth Oct. ; and New York, Dec. 5. We have received Montreal papers to the Ist Dec. by the Cambridge packet from New York. UPPER CANADA.—The weather for the week past has been of great variety until Saturday ; we had frost then, the wind changed to the south and blew a gale, bringing snow and then rain. Yesterday, more snow, with a furious gale. The total a mount of discounts at this moment, out from the Upper Canada Bank, and all her agencies, is only 100,0001. Of this a mount who can tell what por tion may have been generously advanced to such men as Sir A. 15/I‘Nab, - John Toronto, or the Hon. Mr. Sullivan. Various rumours are afloat as to the particulars of the discoveries of the exploring expedition, but no official account has as yet greeted the public eye.

TALLOW MONOPOLY Having repeatedly cautioned the public against the infamous practices of two or three unfeeling Russians in this country, who are robbing the poor of England of their hard earnings, by the grinding tax which this shameful monopoly imposes upon them in the high price of soap and candles, we have much pleasure to find that our advice has nut been throw away ; and that since we put the public on their guard, the consumption (as shown by the weekly deliveries), has been gradually falling off. We will now show that the quantity of tallow this year exceeds that of last by about 60,154 casks I viz.:- 1 Casks. Casks. Quantity on hand, 28th December, 1838 20,517 Quantity on hand, 28th December, 1839 31,471 -excess 13,954 Extra Quantity to Out-Ports Extra Weight, Casks larger than last year At Cronstadt, to come first open water 9,600 At Moscow, do. do. do. To arrive from Kcrtch, Gala'z, and Odessa, about 16,000 Grand Total over last year ! Casks 60,154 Besides, the stock of palm oil, at Liverpool, is now about 6,000 tuns, which is equivalent to 15,000 casks of tallow ; and a large quantity more expected. We, therefore, again, tell the British public, not to use a piece of soap or a farthing candle more than they can possibly help, until these Russian biars shall take our manufactures in exchange, instead of British gold. The price of tallow is nominally 495. per cwt. ; but from the immense quantity on hand, the depressed state of trade, and the value of money, it must, ere long, fall as low us thirty-five shillings. One of our Correspondents informs us, that one of these Russian monopolizers suffered a loss of no less a sum than 30,0001. last year ; but this year they are not likely to get off so easily. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JAN. 2 THE LOYXL REGISTRY ASSOCIATION The usual weekly meeting of this body was held to day At half-past three o'clock Mr. O'Connell arrived, when ho moved Counsellor Doherty to the Chair. Mr. O'Connell, in the course of an eloquent speech, in which no again dwelt on those points that have formed the sub 'yet of his recently reported speeches, stated the majority in favour of the Liberals to be 183, or at least 143. A motion that the Committee ,be allowed time to bring up their Report on the Registry, was adopted. In Committee, Mr. O'Connell said—l havenow, Sir, to call the attention of the meeting to the necessity of taking immediate steps to obtain such expressions of the Irish mind as will be most likely to have the greatest effect on the loyal disposition of our lovely and beloved Queen, the House of Commons, and the English people generally: In our report which I read for you on Tuesday, we recommended the absolute necessity of the Irish public petitioning Ministers against the grievances under which they labour, and we suggested the expediency of meetings being held in the different localities of Ireland. The 12th of January was mentioned as the time most fitting for these meetings being held ; but I now, Sir, mean to move that the 18th of Ja nurry be fixed, and for this reason, that on the 10th the penny postage will come into operation, and by this means, at a very trifling expense, we will be enabled to transmit to the different parts of Ireland copies of the report and many other documents. The penny postage will enable us to circulate those matters at one•twentieth less expense than it would be possible for us to do at present, and the ne cessity of this circulation is obvious, as it will excite a very great reaction. The 18th then, I think, will an swer our purpose, and I should hope, that the drafts of petitions to the House of Commons, and copies of the ad dresses to the Queen, will be ready by the 16th. AGGREGATE MEETING. --We again publish this evening the requisition for a public meeting on the all-important subject of the registries. The signatures present an array of rank and influence such as cannot fail to give a resistless impetus to the public efforts. Registration is the one thing needful. The true and the only way to baffle the insolent enemies of Ireland is to multiply our strength upon the register. This is the' way to'answer the howl of Sir Robert Peel's parsons and centurions—this is the way to meet the fanatic bray of No Popery, raised by de. signing hypocrites and re-echoed by their besotted dupes. Agitate, Agitate, Agitate," was once sound advice to the Iriah people. Now, let the word be—Register, Re gister, Register. This is the agitation we want, and it delights us to see the energy and alacrity with which the Liberal Aristocracy of the country again come forward to ad a constitutional movement of such vast importance. The Commons of Ireland are once more in their true place, that place which they never occupied without sig nally advancing the cause of public liberty, and crushing the aspiring hopes of faction. Thir meeting, originally intended to be held upon the 13th, is finally fixed for the 10th instant. Upon that day the Tories will see a specimen of the lion-spirit which their malignant insults and suicidal industry have called forth through the length and breadth of Ireland. One proof more will be then given them, that the Irish people are not an army without leaders, or so despicable a rabble as to want champions to defend, and advocates to espouse, their, quarrel. In the meantime, let the friends of the people—all who do not wish again to sec Toryism in power, and the country in confusion—join in the present effort, swell the roll of patriots with their names, and aid with their influence and their purses the success of the great cause. A great number of names have been added since our last publicatien.—Dublin Evening Post. The observations made by Mr. O'Crnnell a day or two ago regarding Lord Brougham's domestic calamity art admitted by the Hon. Gentleman to have been made hi ignorance of the conventional usages of England. We have the pleasure to state that circulars have been issued by the respectable bankitig,house of Leland, Bullet), and Co., of Liverpool, announcing that they have reduced the rate of interest on discounts to five per cent. The r - duetion commenced on New Year's Day. This is a gra tifying symptom of the improvement of the money market. —lbid. COLONEL Tuommi.,—As we anticipated, the Gallant Colonel has written a very cautious reply to the Orange men of Kinsale.

AN ENGLiSiI CHARTIST In LIMERICK. —A Limer:e's Correspondent informs that a well-dressed English Char tist attempted to stir up a meeting in that city yesterday, but the people were on the alert—int motion was given to Mayor, who three ened to take the fellow into custody, and the result was, his immediate flight.—lbid. ROME, DEC. 23. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) On Thursday last, the Duke Torlonia gave his last concert for this year ; it took place in one of his pa laces, which once belenged to the English Ambassadors before the Reformation, it was attended by a vast concourse of the elect, the Roman nobility, and il:us trious visitors. The concert room is of vast dimensions, and capable of containing about eight hundred per;ons, from its lofty ceiling were suspended chandeliers of great magnitude and beauty, in the angles of the saloon were marble candelabra o Greek form, surmounted with gilded branches and palm leaves, holding countless flambeaux of wax ; marble statues glowing with Promethean fire lent their silent aid to this gorgeous scene. The singers arranged on an elevated stage, about sixty in number, were composed of professionals and dilettanti. The band was very effective and nume rous ; it was directed by the Marquis Muti, Pre sident of the leilarnionica. The music selected was from the Seniiramide, del Turco in Italia, Tancredi, Gazza Ladra, and the Mose Nuovo. La Signora David was the Prima Donna, supported on each side by other fair cantatrici and choristers, who were all dressed alike, in white satin, and their fair brows en circled with garlands of white roses ; the male singers were dressed in black. At the end of the saloon is a spacious gallery, the roof is supported by fluted columns of burnished gold, and from the roof were suspended bronzed and gilded lamps, modelled from those found at Pompeii. Seated in the gallery appeared the Duchess of Torlonia, arrayed in a literal blaze of diamonds, and wearing a necklace composed of antique camei of un told value ; on either side of the noble hostess were several of the Roman princesses, and some of them members of the Torlonia family, in all their pride and beauty, shining like so many stars of the first magnitude. How long our eyes would have dwelt on those fair luminaries we know not, had they pot bean Palled away by La Bella David, who, in the duetto " Del Pirato," poured out the emotions of her soul in such sweet, tender, and pathetic strains of harmonious eloquence, that we found our thoughts fast taking leave of this sublunary paradise. Thera were present his Serene Highness Prince Otto d'Oetingen Spilberg, his serene Highness the Prince de Schombourg Lippe, Comte and la Corntesse de Flahaut, the Austrian Ambassador, Prince and Princess de Musignarno, Lo Comte de Spur, Lard and Lady Bruce, Lord Rokeby, Lord de Manly, Lord Emlyn, Prince Volkonsky, the Hon. Mr. Herbert, General legg, the Count Hawks le. Griee, General Ramsay, the Pr:nces Rospigliogi, a . nd Ghigi, Sir Adams and Lady Maris, and Miss Albano, the Car dinals Birarola, and Spinola, &c. `Whig being Advent, all the theatres are closed, and Rome wquid have been ti dead letter, had it not been for the splendid entertainment given by the Duke Torlonia, vibe, it is but 4ostiu to F4y, is one of the most liberal-minded noblemen in Rome ; he has given extensive orders to many of our English artists here, and m a ny are the young aspirants hays found in him a friend and patron.

EV KVING 14: I The reply the Duke made to an English lady of high rank, who wished him to be more exclusive in his parties, does honour to his heart and judgment. "My house," observed the Duke, " shall Ise eler open to men of merit, nor will I exclude these whom you may have condemned by the edict of your fashionable tribunal." The Duke's Palace in the Corso is expected to be completed in about a twelvemonth. At his villa out of the Porta Pia, some hundred men are now employed. Stately palaces rise up in proud array, surmounted with statues ; columns, obelisks, and triumphal arches stand in colossal grandeur, there are temples and ruins representing the remains of ancient edifices renowned in history, and in the grounds are; statues, busts, vases, and sarcophagi ; the orange, the ilex, and merangoli lend their assistance, whilst the blue mountains in the distance, studded with the villas of Trascate and Tivoli, complete this suburban delizia. The Duke of Bordeaux holds a levee every Sunday ; itis but thinly attended, none of the corps diplomatique go. The Prince was received in the most affectionate manner by the Pope. His Royal Highness is a mild and intelligent young man, and is considered handsome ; he is somewhat reserved in his manner, but free from pride, and so unaspiring that the French Ambassador has declared to the Cardinal Secretary of State that his Government are quite easy with regard to the Prince having any political object in coming to Rome. The Bishop of Arras has just been created a Cardinal, and the French Ambassador receives for his Eminence the congratulatory visits. The Earl of Shrewsbury gave a grind dinner to the Duke of Bordeaux and suite. Count Hawks le . Grice had an audience with the Pope, and presented the drawings of the Thames Tunnel for Mr. Brunel].
