They have become li: rs of the public press.

Since the Livery have tie the judges of opinion, we do not see pre t heY - , an refuse to examine the opinions of the h ow -sth° ° 6 ., and their effects ; and we do not see if they are consistent, and convinced of the t o ehie f (:ause2d by such opinions, they can refuse excluCle eveTy Churchman from civic offices. at el a conclusion may not be immediately arrived Nvii t it, ' ut it will h e by and by, and the pries t p art y til erl find that the arrows they have hurled f! 4 -4t Mr. HARMER will rebound with deadly agaiust themselves. 4e he press, which has sided with the priest party, th 414 ,t0 us to have been as foolish as the priest party rnsf ' l "s• It is a general complaint that the press ilto d . 4.lr e‘ iy , too many difficulties to contend with, v is Under too many restraints.

He domineers over them ; and how reluctant the pooy things are to confess their ir i d e er Y' even when they boast most loudly of their P en deoce, they are obliged to do him suit and service, b ; St : e e do not object, on principle, to the press rhe a --2 . exposed to t h e mos t r i g id censorship on Par t of the public. We wish, on the nc° Part that t hi s pr i nc i p l e were f u lly carried 0 that the public- would closely scrutinize every P t l?li e Journal, and punish or reward it according s° it s meri ts. But the public already does this to li r e ext ent , b y purchasing journals ; and the new : l er brought to operate against the press by the zine s , is on e exc l us i ve l y o f pun i s h ment. I t is l e enacting of a new penal law. Besides the k th gtd puni s h ments t o which a journalist is liable, ee Times i n fli cts smother. Let the journals be o e Pt , wholly in order by means of public opinion, b Y means of the law ; but when th e l aw re adY bears heavily upon them, let no: public ° I /1111 °n be invoked to inflict on those who co nduct or own them an additional penalty. Follow one principle or the other, but do not when we have a stringent law punish a journalist for tha t of which the law takes no notice. It was the boast of the Times during the contest that the law had ruined Mr. CARLILE. In fact, it bears pecu- liarly heavy on those offences which were charged against the Dispatch ; but that did not satisfy the vindictive Churchmen, and they also invoked a heavy blow from public prejudice. Instead of appeal ing to the law, and being satisfied with its decision, they set it aside, though they call themselves Con servatives, and inflicted a punishment which it neither ordains nor warrants. Under what pretext was this done ? " We have," said the Times, " ruined Mr. CARLILE ; shall we not r unish Mr. HARMER ? TOM PAINE was forced to flee his country for an honest, even if a mistaken expression of his opinion ; shall Mr. HARMER, for the similar conduct of his Editor ; be allowed to fill the Civic Chair ?" Two blacker spots in our modern history are hardly to be found than the delibet le persecution of PAINE and CAR LILE for matters of opinion, at the command of the priest party, and we saw them quoted, in an intelligent journal, with sorrow and disgust, to justify a similar though lesser persecution of Mr. HARMER. His opponents, however, inflicted on him all the injury that the humane spirit of the age would allow them. They only ex cluded him from the civic chair. He may be thankful that he did not aspire to the office of Lord Mayor fifty years ago, or they would have driven him into exile ; and still more thankful that it was not two hundred years ago, or they would have burned him alive. In another part of The Sun appears an advertise meat of " a subscription for a public monument to record the eminent services rendered to this country by the late JOHN GEORGE LAMBTON, Earl of Durham." We need not recommend the object of t hat subscription to public attention. No politi cian in our day, for undeviating consistency and inflexible integrity, has deserved better of the people than the late Earl of DURHAM. Honour, it has been remarked, is a cheap mode of rewarding ser vice. Kings well understand this maxim, and by a few ribands, crosses, and stars, by garters and titles, have gained over to their side the most emi nent of men. If the people then would be honestly and well served, they Imust imitate this policy, and allow no patriot to depart from amongst us without commemorating his worth. It is less indeed for Lord DURHAM, or his friends and relations, who may nevertheless be highly and honourably gratified by the respect paid to his memory, than for the public advantage, and the advantage of all future generations, that we earnestly recommend all Reformers to subscribe to this fund, and raise a noble monument to the late Earl of DURHAM. Money so laid out will yield an ample interest to our posterity. As yet we be lieve no public monument has been erected to LocKE, the great teacher amongst us of toleration and rational liberty, and had there been, we persuade ourselves that the City of London would not now have been disgraced by excluding a gentleman from the Mayoralty on account of the religious opinions of his journal. The Correspondent of the Times, who writes (apparently from London) letters descriptive of the Ports of France, informed the readers of that Journal yesterday that a naval officer, named BLAVETTE, had invented a most destructive shot Here is the account " Port Louis, Morbihan, Sept. .29. " You are aware that this place is about a league from the port milit6ire of L'Orient, on the other side of the river called the Blavet. On Saturday last I minutely inspected the dockyard, an account of which I have already sent you, but on arriving here to-day I learned from an indubitable source—it is not necessary to say that I saw with my own eyes, for that would compro mise people whom I do not wish to injure—that for the las t two months the naval artillery here have been practising on an immense construc tion of timber, which resembles in conformation and shape a 74 line-of-battle ship, with a newly invented bullet, discovered by an old naval officer cn retraite, named Blavette. The property of this bullet or ball, fOr it may be made of all sizes, is, when it meets with an opposing force, such as the hull of a 74, to explode with terrific effect, shivering vessels into pieces, and thus destroying at one " fell swoop" lives and property to an immense amount. At first the Minister of the Marine was doubtful of the effect of this devastating and destructive projectile, and accordingly ordered essays to be made of the force and effect of this vaunted discovery. These trials have been made by competent authority, and it is found to succeed a dmirably, inflicting " cureless ruin" wherever it lodges. The account of these essays was sent to Paris p re tty much about the epo ch when the inventor, Ba vette, was on his way to Bordeaux on private business. He was recalled instantly by telegraph, ordered to return to the port of L'Orient, and workmen are now engaged under his superintendence, or at all events by his direc tion, fabricating this deadly scourge." Perhaps the effects of the shot resemble those of SHRAPNELL'S shell more than our Content- porary is aware of ; but he has become rather no torious of late for making mistakes about missiles of war, and for endeavouring to terrify her MA JESTY'S subjects from devoting themselves to the service of the country. I\l. BLAVETTE will, no doubt be rendered illustrious hereafter by giving his name to an instrument of destruction which, like SII R A PNELL's shells, may, we trust, never be re quired. That civilized nations should by such machines be able to protect themselves against the aggressions of barbarians is most desirable, but they can obtain no advantage, one over another, by any such contrivances. England has SIIRAPNELL, France BLAVETTE ; France has PAIXILANS, England has CONGREVE ; and we have every rea son to believe, should the question be brought to a practical issue, which we hope will not be the case, that the English will be found at least as skilful in using means of destruction as the French. These two nations ought to stand in awe of each other, for both possess the power to cause an immense deal of mischief. England, we suppose, yet possesses exclusively that wonderful machine, or machines, which the Times was at such pains to puff into notice a few weeks ago, and which, we have been assured by two Tory jouinals, the patriotic inventor has not sold to France. It is not Captain BLAVETTE'S ball. With that in reserve, we may defy the world. Why our Contemporary has ceased to interest the public on this subject requires some explanation. He is not a man to give up a favourite object, as witness his continued hostility to the New Poor-law, and it is therefore desirable to know why he has left off exalting the new contrivance for annihilating fleets and armies. It is whispered that the Times is now convinced that it has been deceived. It has found out that the man who was to control the lightning is akin to the philosopher in " Rassellas," though he was merely disturbed for the fate of the world, while the protege of the Times seems dreadfully alarmed for himself. As the Times has left off calling for the impeachment of Lord MELBOURNE, on ac count of neglecting the person for whom a veteran of 40 years' standing vouched, and does not im peach the persons by whom it appears to have been deceived, the public begins to impeach the Times. We hear it said in many quarters that the Times has been for weeks convinced that it had been hum bugged, but though it imposed on the public it has never had the manliness to retract its error. We have been requested by several parties to inquire of the Times why it does not either carry out the work of impeaching Lord MELBOURNE, of which it talked, or admit that it had unknowingly been made the means of deceiving the public. A powerful Journal, which has excluded HARMER from the Mayoralty, E SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1840. EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (From a Second Edition of the Morning Post.) PARIS, THURSDAY. The .Illoniteur of Thursday has tha annexed ordon nance of the day " Louis Philipp e , King of tl:e French, " To all greeting, we have ordained and do ordain as follows : The 1 Chamber of Peers and the Chamber of Depu ties are convoked for October S. " Our Minister Secretary of State of the Depart ment of the Interior is charged with the execution of the present ordonnance. " By the King, "'LOUIS PHILIPPE. " The Minister Secretary of State at the Depart ment of the Interior, "C. RENIUSAT. " Tuileries, Oct. 7, 1840." Thursday's Constitutionnel calls upon the Deputies to be faithful to their origin, and sustain the Parliamen tary Government against prerogative. The Ministerial Courrier Francais exacts that the Cabinet should act decisively before the Chambers meet. Our private letters regard the fall of the Thiers Mi nistry as now certain, although it will probably not take place till the Chambers are assembled. Lord Granville's private audience of Louis Philippe, on Wednesday, was to notify officially the death of the Princess Augusta. Lieutenant-General the Duke of Orleans is charged by Royal ordonnance of Sept. 28, with the organization of ten battalions of Chasseurs on foot, to be newly raised. The mobilization of the National Guards throughout France proceeds rapidly, The Havre Journal states that the French Ministry is inundated with applications to issue letters of marque for various ports, and adds that the French privateers would be sure of making large prizes, as the British are unprepared. The Journal du Havre has another story of the Russian fleet of 18 sail being seen in the Channel. The Castor steamer was seen off Toulon on the 3d at night. It will bring the latest news from Beyrout and Alexandria. The Marseillais was again sung on Wednesday night at the French opera with enthusiasm. Prince Louis Napoleon has arrived at the Chateau of Ham, his place of imprisonment. The Legitimist movements in La Vendee and Brit tany caused uneasiness to the French Government. The ex-Spanish Minister of Marine, the political Chief of Valencia, and General O'Donnell arrived, on the 2d, at a French post from Valencia, as refugees. The Constantinople correspondent of the Augs burg Gazette writes that, on the 116, Baron Lieven, in his interview with the Sultan, offered the aid of the Rassian fleet, which he said was about to sail for the Mediterranean. The Sultan, in reply, asked for the aid of the Russian array should Ibrahim pass the Taurus. The Ministerial Siecle states that fresh orders have been ;isued to expedite armaments at the ports, and leave of absence to naval officers is refused. At a late hour on Thursday afternoon it was gene rally rumoured that affairs had taken a pacific turn, and that hostilities will be stopped in the East by mu tual coaccsions. need not despair, if it have such a machine as it has described at its command, of removing Viscount MELBOURNE from the Court and the Ministry. The Moniteur Parisien, the Messager, and the Gazette de France of Wednesday night, have been received by extraordinary express. They contain the following highly important announcement : " The Chambers are convoked for the 28th of Oc tober. The ordonnance of convocation will appear in to-morrow's (Thursday's) Moniteur." This news caused a decline of one per cent, in the funds, at TORTONI'S. The general impression was that the KING having refused to go all lengths with M. TRIERS and the war party in the absence of the Chambers, the Minister was obliged to propose the immediate convocation. In the meantime it is understood that a strong repre sentation will be made to the Four Powers, but that no step, not rendered unavoidable by them, will be taken to accelerate actual hostilities before the assembling of the Legislative body. In the mean time no base efforts are left untried by the bulk of the Paris press, to fan the embers of war into a conflagration, which shall overspread Europe. From this censure we except the Journal des Debats, which well and zealously supports the cause of civilization and peace. In thus fol lowing the example of the English Journals, the Journal des Debats merits our entire approbation. Blustering is not patriotism— In the hour of need the resources of Great Britain will not be less abundant, the patriotism of the people less manifest, the voice of the Press less exalted and unanimous, nor the Government less free to act with vigour and decision, for the extreme moderation with which the Government, the Press, and the people are now replying to the menaces and threats of the Republican and Legitimist Press of France. Extreme forbearance is one of the characteristics of true courage, as modesty is of superior merit. England does not forget what she owes to her own dignity ; nor is the British Press unaware that in the present feverish state of the public mind on the other side of the Channel, it has the power, which it nobly declines to exercise, of hurling offensive projectiles a thousand times more destructive than the shells which dismantled Beyrout. We are powerful enough, and suffi ciently conscious of our power, to make no secret of our horror of war, and especially of a war with France. It is because we feel assured that we are in a condition to meet her on an equal footing both by land and sea, that we make, and repeat so often this avowal. We assume no superiority, and we concede none. 'We are as worthy to be the foe as the friend of Franco Of our alliances we say nothing, because experience has taught us to rely only upon ourselves. Allies are sometimes more encumbrances than helps—an aphorism which no nation has a better right to know than England. Moreover, we are sensible that the mode of warfare which M. THIERS medi tates against Austria and Russia, in the event of hostilities, would place us in a position with re spect to Poland and Italy at once painful and em barrassing. But would France escape unscathed out of this fire of her own kindling ? Impossible. With the first broadside in the Mediterranean wonld disappear the fruits of her ten years conquests in Africa. The soil for which she was so prodigal of her blood and treasure—which she purchased, among other crimes, by a violation of the faith of treaties—would revert to the Sovereignty of ABD EL-KADER and the Porte. Her other colonies would all follow the fate of Algiers ; and whatever injury she might inflict upon British commerce, it is not impossible but before the close of the contest her Minister of Marine might discover that nations, like VIRGIL's oxen and bees, sometimes toil to enrich an enemy. British sailors ere now have in creased our navy at little cost, save that of blood, of which they are no niggards, as our gallant neighbours can themselves testify. France, then, has much at stake. She may lose much ; and what does she propose to gain ? Nothing that, on the closest scrutiny, we can dis cover. With the first shot away goes her honour, pledged under the Premiership of SOULT, to main tain the integry of the Ottoman empire under the dominion of the SULTAN and his family. As she professes neither to want Egypt, nor Camila, nor Greece, nor the lonian Islands, nor the guar dianship of the Straits of the Dardanelles, nor any island or territory whatever in the Mediterranean more than she now possesses, we cannot in fairness attribute to her any mercenary motive. Fighting for glory is but a fine name for what always has signified in France fighting for pillage, as the annals of the Republic and the empire abundantly testify. Now we acquit the French people, and the French SOVEREIGN, of any wish to quarrel with their neighbours in 1840 merely to find a pretext for plundering them. We think it not im possible to define clearly enough, the policy of the war party in France, but as this would infallibly militate against the conservation of peace we shall not make the attempt. M. THIERS has deceived us, but he has not less disappointed the hopes of the well-disposed among his own countrymen. But our decided impression at present is, that he good sense of the two countries will prevail, and hat there will be no war. We infer from al' lat has taken place that the French w' not interfere with the conduct of the Allies, so far az regards Syria ; consequently the keys of the Dardanelles, according to the stipulation of the Treaty of London, will remain in the keeping of the Porte, as there will be no necessity for the appearance of a Russian fleet in the M e diterranean. It is not unlikely that St. Jean d'Acre is by this time occupied by the English, in the name of the Sultan ; and it is rot probable that M E IIEMET ALI, unsupported by a French squadron, will continue to set the Four Powers at defiance. We have already stated that England has no intention of co-operating with the Porte in the deposition of the PACHA, provided he yield in time. Our Government is not insen sible to the benefits 11 , TEHENIET ALI has conferred on Egypt, and we feel assured that the mercantile classes in this country would deplore, as an Euro pean calamity, the removal of his Highness from the g overnment of the kingdom of the PHARAOHS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—The attention of the directors of the poor of the paritla of St. Pancras having been called to a report in your paper of Thursday, Oct. 1, wherein occurs an uncontradicted statement that the parish was 9,300/. in debt, they have desired me to request you will in sert a contradiction to such statement, as being without any foundation whatever. The only debt was a tempo rary advance by the bankers, of 4,000/. to meet the large payments required by the police and county rates ; the amount of rate uncollected being upwards of 20001. The parochial collectors collect on the average 1,0001. per week, but when such amounts as 4,329/. 10s. for police, and upwards of 2,0001. to the county are required at one time, a temporary accommodation becomes ne cessary in order to secure the deductiOn of 1,0821. 7s. 6d. allowed on the police rate for prompt payment. The revision of the jury and borough lists, at which the at tendance of the collectors is required, had likewise inter fered with the ordinary collection of the rates. The directors consider it unnecessary to keep a large ba lance at the bankers for such purposes, which would require an increased rate, and the small amount of in terest paid for the loan being amply compensated by the above mentioned deduction secured thereby. I am, Sir, your's, &c., JOHN MeGAHEY, Clerk to the Directors. 1 Gordon•street, Gordon-square, Oct. 10, 1840. [The statement was given on the authority of Mr. Aildis, one of the speakers at the public meeting held at the Vestry-rooms. - THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

KEEPING A DISORDERLY HOUSE.—Mary Abrahams, an elderly female, was indicted for keeping a disorderly house in the parish of Stepney. She pleaded Guilty. Mr. PRENDERGAST said that this was a prosecution by the Society for the Suppression of Juvenile Pros titution, but, as the defendant bad given up the house, he would not press for judgment. After a severe admonition from the Chairman, she was ordered to enter, into recognizances, herself in 401. and two sureties in 201. each, to come up and receive judgment when called upon. The COURT was occupied during the remainder of the morning in the trial of assault cases, none of which were of any public interest. THE LORD MAYOR. TO THE EDITOR. OF THE SUN. SIR,—.I beg leave to suggest, through the medium of your columns, that the title of the newly elected Chief Magistrate of the City should be—" Lord Mayor of the City of London, and Lord Mayor of the Faith." The addition of the latter words will serve to distin guish the triumph of the truly religious and immaculate party, who have converted the office•into one of a sacred character. It is true that Ido not recollect any such office being instituted in the Old or New Testament ; nor, in fact, is there anything to be found there, to lead to the supposition that the best reward of the true be -I;ever is to be found in the possession of a salary of 10,0001. a year, and a gilt gingerbread coach to ride about in ; or, on the other hand, that the best way to punish heretical opinions, is to deprive their advocate of such advantages. I have been led, indeed, to infer from the words— " My kingdom is not of this world," that the brightest cod highest rewards of the Christian believer are to he looked for in the realities of the future, rather than of the present. Pray, Mr. Editor, can you tell me if it is to be the order of the day that a few rich prizes, such as the office of the Lord Mayor, &e., are to be held out aspirants a s baits for the orthodoxy of laymen, just as the rich and luxurious of equal the Church ? equal value, prove for that of the zealous bishopricsisliop rie s I confess that I do not sec what great victory has hy i n t hwehraetc wayent divisio ncleared Livery menllp a nori.sncgrlueoeict.ibLteoooltnphdgeoicull,alith dogma. I fear, rather, that instead of this having been accomplished, the late conquest has called forth much m a li gnant an d unc h ar it a bl e f ee ling, and j gros s injustice towards an individual, as alien per haps to the spirit of Christianity, as are the opinions that have been so much denounced. I would observe, in conclusion, that whilst it does not by any means follow that all who have voted for Alder man Harmer are to pass for Atheists, Deists , and im moral characters ; so, on the contrary , would it be stre tching credulity to an extreme point, to take it f or g ranted that all who have voted against him are entitled to the character of Christians.

Mr. Clamp, of Aldersgate-street, a pavinbrolter, ap plied to Mr. Alderman White under the following cir cumstances :—Two sweeps came to his shop and of fered for pawn a valuable gold ring, for the possession of which they did not account to his satisfaction. They said they had found it concealed under a brick on the roof of a house in the Broadway, Blackfriars, where they were employed to sweep chimneys. Mr. Clamp ac companied them to the house, and from all that he could learn from Mr. Smith, the owner of the house, their story, however improbable, seemed to be true ; and Mr. Smith considered himself entitled to the property, as it was found on his premises. The sweeps bore good characters, and Mr. Clamp wished his Worship to ad vise what he should do—whether he should give the ring back to the sweeps, or to Mr. Smith. Mr. Alderman WHITE, on examining the ring, found upon it the inscription, " Edward Browne, born May 14, 1786 ; died 26th April, 1837." He said the ring should be detained in the office and advertised, as there could be little doubt that it had been stolen, and an ad vertisement would find the owner. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY).

The intelligence which the Ministers received from different points in Italy was not of a favourable des cription. It appears that great fermentation prevails in the whole of the Appeoincs, where secret plots are forming, and already numerous arrests hare taken place in Romagna ; and in the kingdom of Naples, it is stated, from an authentic source, that important con tracts have been made by the War Department for the provisioning several Corps d'Armee.

Slll,—Having observed your laudable anxiety, on every occasion where time and opportunity serve, to promote the interests of the public, I am induced, through the medium of your influential Journal to offer a few remarks on the glaring abuses which clog and im pede the administration of justice in the Court of Chancery. Connected with this Court, there are, as many of your readers are aware, Six Clerks, whose business is to receive and file bills, answers, and other records, and authenticate office copies thereof, when presented to them by subordinate officers called sworn clerks, or, in common parlance, Clerks in Court. The duties of the latter are to inspect the engrossments of all bills, demurrers, pleas, &c., to observe that they are properly addressed and intituled, and that the residence of Counsel is affixed thereto. They forward notices, too, when served upon them, to the different Solicitors for whom they may happen to be concerned. They also tax such costs as are from time to time submitted to them for that purpose. For these duties, unimpor tant and insignificant as they are, will it be credited that these worthies pouch between them no less a sum than 70,0001. annually. This enormous sum, too, it will be borne in mind, is wrung from the pockets of the unfortunate suitors of the Court, to support a body of men who are really neither useful nor ornamental. Were a Record Keeper, and two or three Masters, for the purpose of taxing costs, and a few subordinates ap pointed, they would doubtless discharge the entire duties to the satisfaction of the public for 6,0001. a-year of the money. By adopting this plan, 64,000/. annually would be saved, a sum truly worth hoarding up, considering the depressed state of the country. People are so alarmed at the enormous expenses of a suit in Chancery, as the Court is at present constituted, that rather than run the risk of one, they would prefer surrendering a portion of their rights. Indeed, it is no wonder that they should be sc, when the number of turnpikes at which the suitors have to "stand and deliver," before they can hope for justice, is taken into consideration. In fact there is nothing more common than for some people. aye, sensible people, too, on beholding a housa in a ruinous state, to exclaim "it is in Chancery," conveying thereby the imputation that when anything once gets there it is beyond the hope of redemption. How long it will continue the butt and ridicule of a great portion of the community it is impossible to say, but the sooner those blemishes which impede its utility are removed the better for the public generally. I shall, with your permission, on a future occasion, offer a few additional remarks on the way in which business is conducted in some of the Common Law offices, but more especially that portion of it which is transacted at the Judges' Chambers. John-street, Adelphi, Sept. 26. M. TAGG. FEVER IN LONDON.—At a meeting of the London Medical Society, on Monday evening, Dr Clut terbucic, the President, stated that fevers were now more prevalent in London than for many years past. They were, however very mild, and did not at all partake of a malignant character, a circumstance he attributed to the improvements in ventilation, cleanliness, and diet in the metropolis, as well as to better and more certain modes of treatment. A malignant case of fever was now rarely seen, and in the generality of cases which proved fatal it was generally owing to improper medical treatment or ad. vice not being bad in time. COURT OF BA NK RUPTCY.—THOS. GOULD'S ESTATE.-The meet'ng to declare a dividend under this estate took place on Thursday. It will be recollected that the bankrupt abounded early in May last, having put into circulation bills of exchange to a very large amount, many of which were forgeries. It was expected that many attempts to prove such bills upon the estate would be made today. Mr. tmes attended, on the part of the assignees, to investlga the proofs tendered. Bills of ex change to the amount of 14,000/. more were proved, and many proofs, after hearing the points argued, were re jected. The room was crowded with the holders of bills, anxious to tender them for proof. Mr. James suggested to the Commissioner, that as there were many proofs which he was still instructed to oppose, an adjournment of the dividend meeting should take place, which was acquiesced in, and another meeting appointed for Thurs day next, at two o'clock precisely. THE MARSEILLAISE HYMN.—On Sunday evening, at the Theatre des Arts, at Rouen, the audience demanded the Marseillaise, while the overture to the Muette di Portici was playing; and one of the performers, with a tri-coloured gag in his hand, came forward and sung it amid the loud acclamations of the public. When the opera was finished, the Bavarian chasscurs came on to " Oct. 8, 1840. perform the Marseillaise again, when the public again re " Gentlemen—l beg to call your attention to a nuisance quired that it should be sung, and the request was complied that a number of parents and guardians residing in the dis- with.

THE `VAR IN THE EAST.—Mr. Wyld of Charing cross has just published two maps which will be found useful at the present juncture of affairs in the East. The first is t small map of Beyrout, with the adjacent coun try, and a portion of the coast on each side of the town. The other is a beautiful chart of the harbour of Alexandria, with the city and environs in 1840, on a large scale, and coloured. It gives a delineation also of the walls and ruins of the ancient city, the ruins of Ptolomy's Palace, the sites of Pornpey's Pillar, and Cleopatra's Needle, the new canal of Alexandria, and the modern town with the different fortifications, and altogether affords a most distinct and comprehensive view of a place now rendered so important by the dis pute between Mehemet Ali and the Allied Powers. Mr. Wyld has also published a small map of Syria, and an other on a larger scale of Syria and Egypt at a very moderate price. A private letter from Paris states that the Eng lish were quitting that city—that the hotel keepers were pulling long faces—that English bank-notes were at a disawnt of four sous per one pound—and that the funds were expected to go lower. UNION-HALL.—A letter, of which the follow is a copy, addressed to the Magistrates of this Court, was received on the subject of the nuisance created by the con certs held at some of the public-houses is the district. It ran thus : EVENING EDITI9N._‘,„ , - A WARMING-PAN (From the Gazelle des Tribuna'a.M.i - ,1-. • It was six in the morning, wh en old Mol ttet fr i. turier-rotisteur,* had just concluded the (lie - hid:eh of opening his venerable and modest establishment, of which he still persists in remaining the sole and faithful ser vant, when he was suddenly accosted by two voracious.. looking young vagabonds, tie visitings of whose appe tites, to all appearance, cemmencad " black in the morning early." 1° Come, quick, give us some fried po tatoes."

To take it under the very eyes of its vigi lant Argus would have been too audacious, and to in duce him to take his eyes off it was no easy matter ; what was to be done ? " You've got nothing this morn ing, then ; (rood morning." " Well, if you ain't dainty, I'm Wowed!" " We'll b come again another time ;" and so they feigned a departure. The watch ticked tempt ingly in their ears. " What's that yonder ? That don't look bad." " Bad, I should, think not, neither ; why that's most delicate veal." " Come, I vote we have some ; give us sotae bread." The watch lay close to the designated dish. " I vote for that other, I do ; it don't look so stale, and there's plenty on it ; hand it over, master, will ye ?" For the time beiir , poor Montonnet was terribly perplexed ; to lose so advanta geous a purchase on the one hand, and, on the other, to abandon his watch to the doubtful honesty of one of his visitors, who was occasionally casting the most covetous glances on it. He, however, determined on a mezzo famine, and advanced three quarters of a distance to wards the back of his shop, at the same keeping one eye on the watch and the other on the veal. Scarcely had be proceeded three steps of this ingenious manceuvre, than the watch vas whisked off, and carried away at full tear by the adroit younster. 0:d Montonnet, no way disconcerted, seized the re mainin4 ofF,nder, with a vigorous gripe, drapged him into the back shop, and there incarcerated him under lock and key, during which operation he never ceased to vociferate, " Thieves, thieves I" The mob assembles ; Montonnet relates his disaster ; a few good-natured legs set out in fruitless pursuit of the escaped chief.

DOVER, OCTOBER 7.—His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, accompanied by two friends, arrived at the Ship Hotel this morning at half-past six, and at a quarter pact eight embarked on board her Ma jesty's packet Swallow, Captain Sherlock, under a Royal salute, for Ostend. The depot of the 77th Regiment has received its route to march to-morrow from hence to Chatham. SHIPWRECK wrrit Loss OF LIFE.—We deeply regret to have to report the total wreck of a vessel, attended with loss of life, on the Horse Bank, at Lytham early on Wednesday morning last. The unkrtunatc vessel was bound from Liverpool to Gottinburg, in Swe den, her principal cargo consisting of salt, the burden being about 300 tuns. It appears that at the break of day, on Wednesday morning, Captain Ashburn, the harbour master of Lytham, discovered an object peeping above the Horse Bank, which, however, was so minute, that even with the aid of a glass, he was unable to discern precisely what the object was. The tide having receded, however, he saw five men walking upon the bank towards Lytham, and he then concluded a wreck had taken place, and instantly ordered out his boat, for the purpose of taking up the seamen, and instituting further inquiries. Having with all alacrity taken the p3or fellows on board, he found that four of them were foreigners, and the other a Scotch lad, who lied only left Greenock a levy Jays before, and who, it appeared, had the night preceding been ram bling about the streets of Liverpool, whence, it is supposed, he had been kidnapucd by some crimp, for the purpose of making up the crew of the Swedish vessel ; for, singular to relate, he had not the must remote notion until wrecked tha: he was on board a vessel at all, his last recollection of himself being, that he was in ; a state of intoxication at Liverpool. The four unfortunate foreigners could not spent: a word of English, nod it was, therefore, ex clusively from the poor ScAchman that Captain Ash bunt could obtain any information. From him be learnt that during the preceding evening, the storm being t x cessively violent, the vessel had been boating about for several hours, and struck about two o'clock that morning. The captain (a Swede, who was part owner, in his effort to direct the ill-fated vessel, was washed over board, and one of the cress also, who from ill-health and lameness was unable to ini.ke his escape, sunk with the vessel and was drowned. The vessel went so completely down, her mast and rigging being washed away, that only a small part of her hull was left above water, and to this the poor fellows clung in great jeopardy until the ebbing of the tide enabled them without danger to get to the dry portion of the bank. Doting the long and perilous night, the only visible object to them was the Peel lighthouse. As soon as Captain Ashburn had made himiclf acquainted with all the circumstances attending the wreck, he hu manely had the men conveyed to Lytham, where every at tention was, under his direction, paid to their comfort. He also purchased them caps, haviug lost theirs while buffet ing with the storm. We regret to learn that there is not the least prospect of saving a vestige of the wreck, the vessel having gone completely to pieces. —Blackburn Gazette.
