But, despite all this, it is a great consolation to every liberal and philosopher' to know that, "by the charter, the press is free !" By the same rule, a man is most at liberty when he is in a dungeon, and most independent when he is going to be hanged We refer to another page for an account, taken from the Morning Herald, of the great fire at Constantinople. One-fourth of that sublime city is laid in ashes. The craven SULTAN dared not face the conflagration or meet his people, but took refuge in Pera, the location appro priated to Christians and Jews. The reign of MAHMOUD has been the most unfortunate in the history of the Turk ish empire. He began his sway as a reformer —he courted popularity—he affected the airs of a liberal Mus sulman—he walked through the Bazaars of Stamboul as if he had been Lord JOHN' RUSSELL at a fancy fair in Peckham, buying penny trumpets, twopenny horses with grey tails, and other toys for his children ; and he conde scended to command his faithfu l people not to recognise him on those excursions, but o treat him as a private citizen, or an utter strahger. t Such is MAHMOUD the last, we suspect, of the Sultans. He has liberalised himself into a mere vassal. Despised at home, ridiculed abroad, hated by one party and im posed upon by another, the object of distrust and the subject of spoliation, he has contrived by his errors, weaknesses and blunders, aided by the blockheads of Whig diplomacy, to give his vast dominions to Russia. He is, in fact, a serf of that empire. He has tamely surrendered himself to the arms and the tender mercies of his worst enemy. Flattered and menaced—deserted by old and hugged by pretended friends—he has sacri ficed the independence of his country, and given the finest part of Europe, and the best port in the world, and all its commanding advantages, to the CZAR. The Balkan, once deemed impassable, is now proved to be a commodious and comfortable highway for Russian Cos sacks, leading from the realms of fog to everlasting sun shine—from the deserts - of the north•to the Paradise on the banks of the Bosphorus. English alliance! The word is a word of ridicule and contempt. English diplomacy ! we feel sick at the bare mention of it. Are we not excluded from the Black Sea? liiiire not the castles of the Dardanelles frowned upon Sir PULTENEY MAICOLM ? " Is that sea not a sort of marine seraglio, into which no British admiral is allowed to enter ? Ay, verily, we are shut out. Russia has it all to herself, and she will take good care that a ship of war with the broad pendant of England is never seen 1 floating over its green and yellow . waters. Be it so. We say " content," as a criminal does who knows that he is to be hanged on Wednesday next. We are considered intruders in that sea. We have been kicked out as a dog by a footman from a lady's drawing-room. The country which we inhabit, the ad mirals who once commanded the seas of the globe, the brave men who have fought in every clime, the heroes who maintained the rights of an ancient alliance, for the honour of their national valour, are warned off; are told to keep their distance, are excluded from a sea which washes the southern frontiers of Russia, and are, more over, told that if they presume to pass the Dardanelles a thousand guns will be spotted, pointed, and.fired upon the red-cross flag of St. George. All this,. of course, we must bear for the present. The Whigs being ii 4 office, we have no alternative but to sub mit to every indignity which they are pleased to impose upon their sovereign and his loyal subjects. Loyalty, by the way, is sadly at a discount. WILLIAM the 'FOURTH is made the patron of every upstart kingly mendicant and usurper in Europe. He is treated as if he were a parvenu among the mushroom kings of this - quarter of Christen dom. He is constrained to recognize that unfortunate pensioner, tailed LEOPOLD of the £50,000 a year.' He is lugged into the disgrace of giving Belgium to France. He is• constrained to recognize a poor child as Queen of PORTUGAL, whose claims are like those of the Princess OLIVE to the honours and fortune of the late Duke of CUMBERLAND. France and England are joined in the absurd contest of dissevering Holland from Belgium. Their narrow and selfish policy gave Poland to Russia. They. instigated the rebels, cheered them on in their schemes, and then laughed when they saw them over thrown by Cossack lances. In short, the Whigs have collected the materials for a terrible war—a war of right as concerns HENRY V, a war of right as concerns the son of BERNADOTTE, a war of right as concerns poor Donna MARIA, a war of principle as concerns all the other Eu ropean nations. ~ _____ Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM, the LORD CHANCELLOR'S fa vourite brother, has been taking immense pains lately to render himself as illustrious among the heroes of reform as the immortal and immaculate Sir JOHN KEY. . Mr. WM. BROUGHAM, by counselling the people to resist the payment of the taxes, has already established his reputa tion. M stands nearly as high as Lord FITZWILLIAM, or that equally respectable person, Mr. COUSINS, the Linter, of Lineuhs-inn - Fields, - who the other day hanged ords GREY and BROUGHAM—in effigy. Mr. JAMES, however, is doing his best, not perhaps to forestall WIL LIAM in the affections of his noble and learned brother, but to rival him in the game of patriotism. How far he has succeeded remains to be explained. We have already, by quotations from the Carlisle Pa triot and otherwise, informed our readers, that Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM is a tithe proctor and a tithe prosecu tor—one of those obnoxious persons, whom the Whigs have hunted and badgered for the last twenty years—one of those " vermin," to use the elegant phraseology of the Times newspaper, which live in the farmer's hay ricks, decimate his turnips, devour his poultry, do havoc among his lambs, and are even guilty of preying upon the cot tager's milk-pail and his sucking pigs. The sincerity, or rather the odious hypocrisy, of the "base Whigs, has been pretty well exposed during the last few years ; and : therefore no surprise need be expressed at the conduct of Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM. But it is a little strange, ne vertheless, that a gentleman who has joined in the popu lar clamour against churchmen and tithes, who has been a party to every slander against the religious institutions of the country, who has made war, along with Unitarians and other infidels, upon bishops and parsons, should be himself a tithe proctor, a dealer in tithes, a person who rents the tithes. of a parish in order to make a profit by the keenness of his exactions, and the griping and grasp ing nature of his demands. And Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM, be it known, is no ordinary trafficker in this species of property. He stands in the repulsive character of a sharp attorney, who makes the most of his client's rights, levying more from the occupant of the farm than the cler gyman does himself. He must screw more money out of the farmer than the rector can do, or has hitherto done, else the leasing of his claims would be of no value to Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM. He must drive a harder bargain than the incumbent, otherwise his labour would be vain, and his lease not worth having. This, in point of fact, is admitted on all sides. The honourable member for Kendal is not so perfect a fool as to enact the part of the " parson's representative" for nothing. He contracts to pay a stipulated sum to the rector, and he has, as all accounts agree, contracted to pay him a larger sum than he has hitherto been in the practice of receiving. The natural inference from this is, that- the . rector, and his church, and his order, are all subjected to unmerited cen sure and obloquy for no other reason on earth but that JAMES BROUGIIAM may make money by the speculation. The only way in which this money can be made is by applying the screw and the force-pump to the tenant. The profit consists in extorting the uttermost farthing that can legally be claimed—in tithing every potatoe and cabbage that is grown—in claiming an agistment or grass-land composition—in counting and tithing the calves and lambs—in seeing how many bullocks rest du ring Sunday on their way to the south—how many tra velling sheep feed upon turnips—and how many jades of horses are allowed to vegetate upon coarse grass during summer, at a charge of perhaps fifteen or thirty shillings per head. The clergyman who leased his tithes to Mr. BROUGHAM is not altogether excusable. He is a party to the ultra exaction. He is responsible fur the petty tyranny of his tenant,-and through him clergymen gener ally and the whole church are exposed to popular con demnation. We confess, that where such practices pre vail there is good ground for complaint; for the extra exaction, though perfectly legal, is a grievance. The tenant does not grudge the rector his dues, but lie natu rally and justly thiriks it hard that he should be screwed and grindstoned by a sharp tithe proctor or attorney. Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM, the brother of the LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR, performs this odious and obnoxious part. He trades upon the revenues of the church ; and after levying a toll for the "parson," levies another for him self. 'The thing is scandalous, as regards the systeM, but it is doubly so when we consider who and what Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM iS. It is a mean, shabby, dirty trans action altogether. We regret that we cannot afford room for the last let ter of the honourable tithe-proctor on the subject, as it appeared in the Carlisle Patriot, or the demolishing which it received in that able journal. It is enough to say that Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM has been convicted of something very like direct falsehood. In his letter lie asserts that he leased these tithes before Lord Lonsdale was the purchaser of the estate in question. It turns out, however, that it was not until the land had passed into the possession of the noble Earl, that Mr. BROUGIIAM had any thing to do with the tithes. He denies that he is the originator of the suit in Chancery fir the payment of agistment, but it is impossible to believe him, for it happens singularly enough that although there are other farms in the parish similarly situated, no bill has been filed with respect to them. Mr. Baoitorram's tithes alone are the subject of the proceedings before his brother, the LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR. Mr. BROUGHAM is openly ac cused of misrepresentation by the very person whom he has brought into his, brother's court. The following letter is as plain as possible : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE CAP.I.ISI.E PATRIOT. " Sir,—My attention having been drawn to a letter in the Kendal Ciazote of last wee . k.,. Otiresseci to yott, reiativt to the .. _ -v-.~ . aa~r::R~"~' ~'F-: v7Gly.=? eTs~Fs+r: Til E LIVERP .'F~t R'',"lll~4~}~~iF.~F: 51~'r~~ft~S'~i~Y~.. ~..aft.Y.~~ tithes of Hornby Hall and Udford farms, which I occupy of the Earl of Lonsdate, wherein I am stated to have " repeatedly promised to pay him (Mr. B.) tithe of agistment," I feel my:' self called upon. in justification of my own character , to give the most unqualified contradiction to this assertion, through the same public channel as the charge has been made. A statement which appeared in a former letter of Mr. B. 's on this subject, asserting that 1 had promised to pay up all arrears, on condi tion that the rector would not proceed against me, is, of course, equally unfounded. Your insertion of the above in your next paper will greatly oblige, • " Sir, your most obedient servant, "'THOMAS NELSON. " Hornby Hall, September 25, 1833." The subjoined is from the Carlisle Pao4-iot, and the figure which the honourable member cuts is very deplo rable. We know not how Whigs feel in these matters, but there is enough in the exposure to make a Tory do " a deed without a name" : " Mr. Brougham says he took his lease in 1821, and Lord Lonsdale did not purchase the estate in question until 1828, in order to induce a belief of our assertion, that he took the lease after Lord Lonidale . purchased the property, being unfounded. But what is the fact ? The prop rty was purchased for Lord Lonsdale in 1823, by Mr. Hamlet; and Mr. Brougham knows that it was. " And now, we ask, and we do so with the utmost confidence, where are the " errors," where the "misstatement of facts," where the "unfounded conclusions," with which Mr. Brougham has charged us, in order to screen himself from the odious cir cumstances in which his conduct has involved him? We fall bask upon our primary accusations with even more boldness than when we put them forth,—that the honourable member for Kendal, although a reformer of the first water, an assailant of the church, a denouncer of clerical rapacity, a professed tithe-hater, and a supporter of Mr. Blamire's tithes stay of suits' bill, is yet a tithe-proctor and tithe-prosecutor himself; and that he is so, not by the accident of birth, or of Profession, or by any other necessity, but of his own choice, free-will, and pleasure !" After this exposure and recrimination, it is impossible that the matter can rest here. Mr. JAMES BROUGHAM has written two or three letters in his own defence, and, with an unfortunate infatuation, he has endeavoured' to meet the charges by a hardy. denial of their truth. He has, however, not done himself any good by his letter writing. He has wriggled in the mire, and has conse quently sunk deeper. His letters make his case worse. His defence adds effrontery 'to meanness, and his tithes seem to be paid in brass. He held a rich sinecure under his illustrious brother for nearly twelve months, and if the abolition. of thiss-sinecute is likely to make 'him it keener ferret in the tithe farm, we shall be sorry for it, as well for the sake of the church as for himself. At any rate his pretensions are now known ; his patriotism is fairly appreciated, his motives are understood, his word passes current for what it is worth, and therefore the less he writes the better. LONDON LATEST NEWS. Wednesday Evening, Half-past Seven o'clock. The Consol Market has been rather firmer to-day, and the quotations for the Account closed at 8S ; Exche quer Bills are at 45 46, and India Bonds at 29 30. The intelligence received from Lisbon has caused a con- - siderable degree of excitement among the holders of Portuguese Scrip, which advanced as high as 24, and subsequently receded to 22, and finally closed at 221 In none of the Northern Bonds has there been any par ticular variation. Russian may be quoted at 1011 2L Dutch at 434 94-, Danish at 741, and Belgian 941 5. Spanish Stock closed at 221, and Brazilian at 671 4, ex dividend. • We'have seen several private letters received by the packet from Buenos Ayres, which give a very melancholy picture of the state of things there. The population was split into two factions, the Liberals and the ultra-Libe rals ; and the result of this party spirit was, that trade was entirely at a stand still. A large number of vessels were in port, and the quantity of European goods there was immense. Heavy rains had fallen, and the commu nication with the interior hail, in consequence, been in terrupted. We have late letters froth Gibraltar, which state that the intercourse with Spain had not been interdicted, but as fresh accounts were daily 'received 'of the progresS of the cholera, it was expected that Government would very speedily shut up the communication. Business was in a very dull state at Gibraltar. Advises from Senegal to the Bth August announce that hostilities had commenced between the French colonists and the Trazzas Moors. The cause of these had been the incursions of the' Moors into the territory of Wallo, which was a violation of the treaty between the two parties. The Moors had already sustained considerable loss ; and the Governor of Senegal, who commanded the expedition in person, calculated upon their speedy evacuation of the territory they had seized. By letters from St. Petersburgh we learn that the fair of Sing Novogorod had by no means equalled expectation. The merchandize had gone off very slowly, and the con course of persons had been less than for some years. LOC7AL 117h,'WS. MAN DROWNED.—An inquest was held on Friday before Ro bertson Gladstone, Esq., on the body of a man unknown, who had fallen into the river from the King's Dock pier, on Thurs day night. THE LATE COL. FLETCHER.—A monument to the memory of the late Col. Fletcher has been erected, (by subscription) by the friends of that gentleman, and many respectable persons in the neighbourhood of Bolton. The monument is a figure of Resignation, resting upon an urn. Itj is of the natural size, in alto relievo, and was executed by Mr. Spence, of this town. It is placed in the Parish Church of Bolton, and has given universal satisfaction to all who have seen it. FoncEny.—On Wednesday, Thosdlndson, late in the employ of Mr. Thos. Rawson, of this town, was committed to take his trial at the next Lancaster Assizes for forging Mr. Rawson's signature to two cheques upon the bank of Messrs. Arthur Heywood, Sons, • and Co.; one in June last, £B9 15s. the amount of which was paid on its presentation; and the other for £57 10s., which was presented for payment a few days ago and led to his detection. ATTEIMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Wednesday evening eek, about eleven o'clock , ' as two young men were proceed". ing along the Park-road, on their way home, they were at tacked - by three men, who were armed with bludgeons. One of the young men was immediately felled; the other being ex tremely powerful, succeeded in knocking down two of the mis creants ; and, upon assistance appearing, they all three do carriped, leaving behind them one of their weapons. Two of the men were in the garb of sailors, the third was dressed in a fustian jacket and trowsers. CAtrioN.—A fellow of shabby genteel appearance, has, dur ing the last few days, been taking his rounds, with the osten sible design of collecting alms for the benefit of an unfortunate woman, with five children, her husband having lately been drowned whilst pursuing his calling, that of a fisherman —at the same time producing a petition, apparently signed by seve ral parties of respectability, with the sums supposed to have been given attached to their names. We have heard of several respectable shopkeepers who have been induced to part with their money to this speculating gentleman. It is almost need less to say that this fellow is an impudent impostor, and the supposed signatures to the petition are forged. On Wednesday evening, a gentleman from Manchester, whilst in the pit of the Theatre-Royal, too intent, we suppose, upon the performance, allowed some one to extract from his pocket, a book containing a five pound bank note and half-a sovereign, together with some receipts, memorandums, &c. describes the parties about him to have been, to all appearance, very respectable. We would caution our readers against visit ing the public places of amusement with property on their per sons, as we understand there are great numbers of the light fingered gentry from the metropolis, assembled here no doubt for the laudable purpose of practising for improvement. . A ludicrous circumstance occurred early yesterday morning, in Upper Islington. An Irish awarder, alias driver of pigs, was conducting his swinish multitude towards the Brunswick-road' when his drove was very unceremoniously attacked by a cur belonging to a butcher who was passing at the time. 'the dog very much annoyed the . grunters, and they in return annoyed our friend Pat, by capering about in all directions but the right one. The thrarder, finding the pigs too many for him, remon strated with the owner of the-dog, who was enjoying the fun,_ and insisted upon his being called off. The butcher took no notice of said remonstrance, consequently Pat let fly at the whelp with his shillelah, and belaboured him most stoutly.— This raised the he of the man of chops, and he fell upon the drover. The upshot was a regular set-to. Pat, however, was too Much for the butcher, who in a short tune cried pec c ari, when Pat, with the assistance of the bystanders, who had been highly amused, collected his drove and proceeded on his tour- 7 - inuttenng to himself, " I'd not be anther spaking to the dartny baste, only for the matther of the pigs." BEAUMARIS.—OD Monday, week, at a meeting of the Corpo ration, the Rev. Owen Gethin .Williams, of Rhiwlas, was ap pointed to fill the office of Mayor, and Mr. Thomas Williams and Mr. Hugh Roberts were elected Bailiffs for the ensuing year. In the evening, the members of the Corporation, fifteen in number, dined 'together at the Bulkeley,Arms Hotel. On Monday next the uew officers will be sworn in ; and we under stand that Mr. Alderman Wright and Mr. Eyre Lloyd will then be admitted as capital burgesses. CONSUL AT HAVANA.—We have been obligingly favoured with the following copy of a corresp on d ence re l at i ve to t h e ap pointment of a British consul at Havana : " London, 10th Sept., 1833. " My Lord,—With reference to your lordship's letters of the 2d and 19th ult., enclosing a memorial from merchants at Liver pool connected with the Havana, and also from British mer chants resident in this latter city, representing the inconve niences which result from the want of a British consular agent at the Havana, I am directed by Viscount Palmerston to ac quaint you, for the information of the memorialists, that the King has been graciously pleased to appoint Mr. Charles D. Tolme. of the house of Morales and Co. of the Havana, to be British consul at that port.—l have the honour to be, my lord, your lordship's most obedient, humble servant, "'l'o Lord Viscount Sandon, &c.

Ward, Esq.,.of Northwood House, which is the subject of general conversation here. The facts have been related thus :—Lord Durham clam ed a right to drive his equipage, to and from Egypt house, through a field situated one hundred yards or so distant from his lordship's residence. The field has gates at each end. anll the foot passengers have free ingress to it. Mr. Ward resisted Lord D.'s alleged right to chive his carriage through the ground, because h e said it was his private property, and ordered posts and rails to be placed at the entrance to prevent the earl's carriage from proceeding, awl which posts or rails were after wards removed by the crew of the Louisa. Lord Durham wrote a letter to Mr. Ward, thanking him for his " civility," an act of which he (Lord L.) questioned the legality. Mr. Ward, in reply, stated that nothing was further from his intention than to annoy his lordship - : lint he maintained that, in law and in pos session, he had a right to do as he had done, and requested to know the name of the noble earl's legal adviser, which his lord ship accordingly furnished,' and here the matteF rests for the p re-:lent —Por ts m outh Iferald, 0L Sr! A: D. IMPORTANT TO EMIGRANTS. New Fork, September 7th, 1833. DIU It Sin,--I think it would be well if it were better under stood on your side, respecting persons coming out to. this country, say destined for Upper Canada, or elsewhere west ward, that they have to pay duties on little articles which they commonly have,—say articles of goods beyond their wearing apparel, such as linen not made up, tools, when the individuals are not mechanios, and the tools not in use, books, &c. &c. There is no drawback, you know, on goods going out of this country, when the duties are over fifty dollars, or in any case when they go out by inland navigation, so that our Upper Canada friends (and they are not a few) complain that this is not sufficiently known in Great Britain, in which case they would have sent these matters out by way of Quebec, save in the winter season. I wish very much our people could have this done for them, as this is certainly. the best route, both .for expedition, safety, awl comfort; besides, this is a port which is open all the year round; but, as it is at present, it would be Wt.ll, I respectfully suggest, to inform the emigrating public, that there is a custom-house in New York, and a tariff of duties, and that, however kindly disposed the officers in this de partment of the government are in dealing with such cases, the duties must be collected. You might show this to the Government Agent for Settlers in your town, and I have the honour to remain, Dear sir, Your obedient servant, J. C. BUCHANAN, British Vice-Consul and Agent of the Canada Ladd Company. Daniel Buchanan, Esq., Liverpool. WHIG MINISTERIAL JUGGLING, TO THE EDITOR OF THE LIVERPOOL STA.YDARD. Sta,—l cannot otherwise better designate the manner in which I am now annoyed by "the powers that be, " under the licensing system, than as above. It appears that Supervisors of Excise have access to the as sessments to ascertain the amount charged therein for inhabited house duty, and the duty on licenses is regulated by that data. Ministers have made much boast of the mighty reductions they . were about to make for the relief of the country; and not only their organs of the press have loudly re-echoed the empty sound, but our church-walls yesterday were bespattered with a notice to the effect " that one entire moiety of the duties charged on the rent of houses of persons duly licensed to sell therein beer, ale, wine, or other liquors by retail, are reduced and repealed from and after the sth of April, 1833." Still it appears, this is all a humbug in reality, for during the last and many previous years my house was assessed at something under 420,,pr annum, - and consequently my spirit licence was only. £4 45.; but the assessment this year being advanced to nearly double the former assessment, my licenses are advanced to £ll lls., and this a branch of taxation upon which an act of parliament has actually been passed for the reduction " of one entire moiety." However, it appears, I may console myself, by the prospect of hearing some time hence from the tax-col lector that the commissioners, in obedience to the before alluded to act of parliament, will mitigate the exorbitant duty their officer had previously charged me with—and of which, by the bye, I have had no notice of appeal—nineteen shillings, or therea bouts ! I believe there are numbers of widows in this town, like my self, with a family to rear, who suffer by this act of ,injustice, and I crave your indulgence for the insertion of the foregoing, hoping it may induce some more capable of elucidating this subject, to treat it in the manner it deserves in your next pub. lication.—Yours, &c. Liverpool, 30th September, 1833. M. 'll.. IRELAND. STATE OF THE COUNTRY COUNTY KILKENNY.—The number (officially reported) of insurrectionary outrages committed in this county, for the . month of July, amounted to 16; for August, 26; and for the month of September, 3.5 ; being an increase of nine over the latter month, and of 19 as compared with the month of July. The following is the copy of an illegal notice posted on the chapel of Mullinaharrigle, in the parish of Listerlin and Ba rony of Ida, on Sunday last : " All such land jobbers as gave up the around and began to till it again will b e s orr y ; it w ill happen them more than Ma rum or Joyce. We will neither hough cattle or burn houses, to destroy the country as we did before. No—sheet iron inside the doors will not prevent us, .but we will go and drop them oa the spot.

Such as will visit you will have no informers or pointers.—'There is a great deal that we did not mention that will suffer as well as the rest." A farmer, named James M'Evoy, residing in the parish of Eirke, Baro n y o f G a l mo y, was killed on" Sunday night by a party of Whitefeet, who, it is supposed, came from the Queen's County for the purpose of murdering him. We have not heard any cause assigned for the perpetration of the foul deed. The matter is, at present, undergoing an investigation before Col. Osborne, R. M., and Mr. Fordo, C. C.. An armed party of nocturnal legislators attacked the dwel ling-house of a man named Larrissy, living on the lands of Drimurrin, in the Barony of Gowran, on Sunday night, and after obtaining an entrance, beat him severely, and ordered him, on p a i n of death, to surrender his farm on the following day.—Kilkentry Moderator. The Rev.

MARRYING WITH A VENGEANCE.—On the 9th ult., at Leeds, Mr. Higgins, cloth-dresser, to Mrs. Mary Turner, both of Woodhouse, she being his sixth wife, and he her third husband. SINGULAR HUMANITY.—The following was posted up in the county of Kent, in the year 1831 :—" N r otice is hereby given, that the Marquis of Camden (on account of the backwardness of the harvest,) will not shoot himself or any of his., tenants till the 14th of September." REPARTEE. — Dr. Lucas, the celebrated Irish patriot, having, after a very sharp contest, carried the election of a representative in parliament for the city of Dublin, was met a few days after by a lady whose whole family were very warm in the interest of the unsuccessful candidate. " Well, Doctor," said she, " I find you have gained the election."—" Yes, madam."—" No won der, sir, all the blackguards voted for you."—" No, madam, your two sons did not," replied the doctor. The young Earl of Eglintoun (Baron Ardrossan, in En gland) became of age on the 26th ult., when the event was celebrated by public rejoicings at Eglintoun Castle, N.B. His lordship gave a grand entertainment to the Marquis and Mar chioness of Londonderry, who came from \Vynyard expressly for the occasion, and a large party. The Earl will take his scat in the House of Lords by the side of his noble friend the Marquis of Londonderry, as his family politics assimilate with those of his Lordship. Lord Eglintoun, although so young, has enjoyed his honours several years, haying succeeded his grandfather Hugh, twelfth Earl, in 1819. His Lordships mother, Lady Mary Montgomery, is re-married to Sir Charles Montolieu Lamb, 'Bart., Knight Marshal of his Majesty's Household. REASON FOR A DIVORCE.—A woman applied the other day to our worthy mayor for a summons against her husband who had ill used her. In due course, the parties appeared before the bench; when the mayor asked the delinquent why he had used his wife so badly, having beaten her severely. "Why," said he, " I went to the barber's to have my hair cut, and - he told me that every hair of my head was loose in the socket, (tremendous laughter,) and it's she've a do'd it!" The worthy mayor looked incredulous, and the wife looked astonished, but he offered to swear to the fact, and produce the barber to cor roborate the truth of it, so there was no refusing the credence. The wife then besought the bench to "divorce" them, but this his worship could not do, and it was ultimately arranged that they should separate, he agreeing to allow her 2s. 6d. out of his wages, which were 12s. I hey were both departing highly de lighted, when the mayor recalled the loose-haired hero, and told him he must pay a shilling for the summons. He threw down the shilling with the greatest alacrity, clapping his thigh, and swearing that he would pay 50s. any day for such a capital bargain.— Western Times. - - - The late storm, which alarmed the farmer for the safety of his crop, has consigned hundreds to a watery grave, covered the shores of the ocean with numerous wrecks, and filled .many a family with lamentation and mourning. This village (Buck haven) has not escaped, it has bad a full share in the calamity: two boats have been lost, the nets of only one• of them being recovered, while 14 children, besides other relati 7e s, are left to lament the destiny that has deprived them of their natural pro tectors. On Saturday week a number of boats left the fishing station at Wick, on 'their return home, where they had Caen very successful, and in crossing the Moray Frith encountered the dreadful gale. The Margaret, belonging to Mr. Thomas Bonthron, was nearly swamped by a heavy sea, which washed overboard Robert Cummins, one of the crew. Whilst every exertion was made to lighten the boat of the water, another mountainous billow again nearly filled her, and in this emer gency the fishermen began to attach " bows" (bladders) to their bodies, thinking by this means to preserve themselves for some minutes longer among the foaming surge. However, en couraged by a boy, the son of the owner of - the boat, who ex horted them to put their trust in that Almighty Being who rules the ratting of the sea, and stills the furious tempest, and not give themselves up to terror, they threw ballast, masts, and every incumbrance overboard, and with that undaunted little boy at die helm,. and the rest of them at the pumps, they bore away towards Fraserburgh, front which they were 15 miles distant. About 11 o'clock on Sunday forenoon they drew near the shore, where thousands were gazing with intense interest, anxious for their safety. Driven on by the storm and the dash ing waves, the boat struck on the'Beacon rock, and soon went to pieces, but the crew were happily got safe on shore by means of the life boat, and were treated in such a manner as reflects credit on the sympathies of the people of Fraserburgh. Ano ther boat, the Lady Emma Wemyss, met with a still more dis astrous fate : she has never been heard of, and she is supposed to have foundered on Sunday morning, about six miles from land. She belonged to Mr. James Bonthron, brother to the owner of the Margaret, an enterprising and industrious seaman, The following are the names of the sufferers:—James Bonthron, owner of the Lady Emma Wemyss, who has left a wife and two children Widiam Johnstone, who has left a wife and one child; John Fife, who was married only fourteen days previous to his going to the north for the second time, and who has left five children; and Thomas Robinson, unmarried, aged seven teen. Robert Cummins, who was washed overboard the Mar garet+ has left a wife and six children,—Scodt paper, SPORTING LVTELLIGEXCE, The Newmarket October Meeting,; which coramencesi cti Man , day, although it attracted a large assemblage o f f as hionabies i amongst whom was his Grace the Duke of Rutland, his Grace the Duke of Grafton, Earl Stradbroke, and the Earl of C besterfield, was not remarkable for the excellence of the sport. The first day the Trial Stakes di4 not fill, the only horse entered beii:g Ves per. The Grand Duke Michael Stakes, upon which there was considerable betting, was the only contest for the day: Clearwell was the decided favourite; and, in the Lancashire sporting eir. des, the odds were bet on him. He was, however, much to the surprise of the knowing ones, easily beaten by five, viz., Nonsense, (the winner,) ridden by Pavis, Jason, the colt by Lottery, Divan, and Brother to Beiram, who were placed as named. Neither the favourite, Brother to Amphius, nor the colt by Sultan were placed; Clearwell coming sixth. The bet tino- was 2 to 1 agst Clearwell at starting, 6 to 1 agst Jason, 6 to I agst Divan, and 7 to 1 agst the winner, who AVM easy by two lengths - the value of the stakes was Z2OO. The Hopeful Stakes, of 46 sovs. each, h.ft., were won by Mr, Nevill's Arnado, (Connolly,) beating b f by Merlin, ch f by Emilius, Sister to Cactus, ch c by Middleton, and ch fby Merlin ; won by a length. The £5O Plate was taken by Col. Peel's Ernest, (Pavis,) beating colt by Bizarre, Datura, and Lucetta ; won by two lengths, Coming nearer home we must now allude to the spirited meet in,g at Wrexham, which opened on Tuesday, and concluded on Wednesday last. The 'lwo Year Olds were taken by that pretty filly Vittoria, decidedly the best of her age extant, judg ing from her performances and the number of stakes she has won this season. She was only opposed to Lord Westminster's b c by Camel, b fby Lottery having paid ; the betting upon her was 6to 4. The Gold Cup, value 100 sovs., was won by "the crackcrackbrown ma re " H er Hi g h ness , w h o b e at Russell and Pick pocket; ,the latter was beaten easily; his day appears to be going by; the c'nntestfor the Chester Cup having almost done his busi ness; the br:Atin_g was 2 to 1 agst the winner, 3 to 1 agst Russell, and 4to 1 agsi. l'ickpocket. Sir Watkin Wm. Wynne's Plate, value £5O, was won in two heats by Lady Moore Carew, beating Lady Bee and four uf l iers; the winner was the favourite. The Wednesday's sport comioeuced with the contest for the W_yrri stay Stakes, of 25 sovs. each, which were won by the Traveller, beating Belmont, and Hope, the latter was the favourite at 2 to 1. The Sweep of 25 sovs. each, was won by Harriet, the Han dicap by Russell, and the Town Plate by Batcatcher. The betting upon distant events has not bent brisk since our last, but some business was effected on Tuesday and Wednes day upon the Derby, at the following prices :-13 to 1 agst Mr. Watt's Bubastes, (taken) ; 16 to 1 agst the Duke of Grafton's Olympic, (tk) ; 18 to agst the Duke of Cleveland's Guardian, (offered); 18 to 1 agst Mr. Chifney's colt, (tk) ; 20 to 1 agst Captain Gardinor's Comet, (tk) ; 2O to 1 agst Mr. Walker's Delirium, (off); none others named.

CASE OF MR. BARNES. The situation of Mr. Barnes, who stands committed for fe loniously receiving a Ea) note, alleged to have been stolen by tlon Vickers from her mistress, Mrs. Hampton; has excited a great sensation amongst his friends, but more particularly, as indeed it might be expected, amongst his creditors. 'The latter class of persons, from their previous knowledge of him as a tradesman, conceive him to have been incapable of the act im puted to him; and acting on that belief, the following circular was issued as soon as he was committed to Newgate : In consequence of circumstances which have recently oc curred, we deem it expedient that all persons connected with the affairs of Mr. Barnes should take an early opportunity of enquiring into those circumstances, and of expressing their opinion thereon. " We therefore most earnestly beg the favour of your attend ance at the Boar and Castle, Oxford-street, to - morr ow evening, at six o'clock, prec i se l y. " (Signed by four creditors.)''. The meeting was accordingly held, and was attended by about twenty-five creditors, some of them of the first eminent in the trade. A statement—the particulars of which it would be imprud en t t o pu b lish before the trial—was then made of, the proofs which will be brought forward in his defence. Accord ing to that statement the case will be one of the most extraor dinary ever brought before a court of justice; and certainly, "if" it be substantiated; will furnish a complete refutation of the charge o f f e l ony. Several gentlemen spoke in terms of ap probation of Mr. Barnes's conduct as a tradesman, and of the necessity of not at present interfering with the due course of his trade. Ultimately two resolutions of which the following is the substance, were agreed to and signed by twenty creditors. "Ist. That every individual present cheerfully bears testi mony to the honour and integrity which have hitherto charac terized Mr. Barnes's conduct in the course of his business. "2nd. That impressed with a deep sense of his conduct, this meeting feels justified in doubting that the charges brought against Mr. Barnes can be substantiated, and in the hope and belief that, at the proper period, he will be able to produce such evidence as will entirely remove the unfavourable impres sion created by the ex-parte statements which have gone forth to the public, this meeting feels it to be its duty to maintain by every means in its power the reputation of that individual dur hip., his present unfortunate situation." The meeting then broke up.—( True Sun.) Liu a late number of the STAN DA r.D we briefly alluded to this case, and as the merits of it are still to be the subject of a judi cial investigation, we did not intend taking any further notice of it. until the trial had taken place. Upon an es-parte state ment, two magistrate s agreed in opinion that bail could not be taken, and if they were wrong in coming to that decision, either of the judges of the three courts, or At of them in succession, might order bail to be taken on a writ of habeas corpus being served upon the keeper of New gate. We do riot mean to hazard an opinion upon the gu ilt or innocence of Mr. Barnes; but we do most seriously protest against. the interference of these men, however eminent they may be in the silver and jewellery trade. Their interests, as creditors, may, doubtless, be seriously affected by a conviction; but that is no valid reason why the course of justice should be interrupted by this species of partizanship. The law presumes every man to be innocent until a jury of his countrymen have found him guilty of what he is charged withal; therefore the resolutions entered into by this meeting are, to say the least of them, unnecessary. What do these people mean by "this meeting feels it to be its duty to maintain, by every means in its power, the reputation of that individual during his present situation ?" Do they mean to try the case themselves? The trial of Thurtell was postponed on account of the great excitement of the public mind, in order that justice might be administered with that cool and temperate judgment, without which it ceases to be justice. In the case of Mr. Barnes, there • is a most palpable and, we think, unwarrantable attempt to prejudice its merits, to excite the public mind, and to prevent the cool and even course of the law. If, then, in the former case, the trial of a criminal ought to be postponed on . account of a prejudice raised against him from the supposed enormity of his guilt, in that now under consideration, the prosecutrix is equally entitled to demand a postponement on account of the prejudice which this meeting is calculated to excite against her, and the evidence that she may have to produce. We think no offence so heinous as an attempt to interfere in any way with those to whom the constitution has confided the execution of justice. We repeat, that we do not mean to offer an opinion as to the probable guilt or innocence of Mr. Barnes.] Innwkr ROBBERY.—On Saturday night, about eight o'clock, as a gentl eman ' s serva nt was re turning, on horseback, front Liverpool to Waterloo, he was attacked, near to Saud hiils-bridge, by three highwaymen. They dragged him from his horse, and, after striking him, robbed him of the money he was taki ng t o hi s mas ter, and the contents of a basket h e had with him. The horse galloped down Sandhills-lane, and was afterwards caught on the sands. On the same night ano ther horseman was attacked, probably by the same footpads.-- The horse was a spirited one, and, by a sudden plunge freed its rider from the grasp of the villains. On the sth of July last, Fernando Benancio, an Indian cacique, labouring nuder-a powerful access of fever, was ad mitted as a patient into the hospital of Buenos Ayres. In his train was a younger Indian, named Francisco Yunquel, who, being attached to the chief, was allowed to wait upon and reside with him during the progress of his cure. Yunquel was an un adulterated son of the Andes, and, in the indulgence of a na tural curiosity, strolled without restraint through every part of the establishment. In a fatal hour he reached the door of the dissecting-room, and just at the moment, too, that a lecturer was illustrating by the knife upon the subject the lesson which he was giving to his class. I - human dissection, though per mitted- by necessity and encouraged by science, is a sight ap palling to nature, and upon the unsophisticated savage of the Wilds it produced thp most disastrous effects. Poor Yunquel thought that the opelititor and his assistants were engaged in a deed of murde r he immediately raised the war-whoop of his tribe—called out the gualichu with a maniacal voice, and draw ing his knife rushed upon all who were engaged in the dissec tion, The first victim was a graduate of some distinction in the profession, whom he despatched at once; the next was an un fortunate patient who happened to be present, and the third was a soldier, who stood sentinel at the &or of the devoted chamber. The frenelico then rushed into the wards of the hos pital, and would have dealt death more extensively, if his mas ter, apprised of the tragical events, had not thrown himself in his way, and by the threat, conveyed in their own language, of instantly shooting him dead, brought him to a sense of his situa tion. This affair has created a great sensation at Buenos ~ /I,yres.—Bivmos Papery, July 7. t , eo./.llotret , CtiNV:Rwi , m LONDON . GAZE7'7 I E.-Tty LSD A N*, OOT , . . BANKRUPTS.

We had again a good supply of Wheat yesterday ; a few prime saw ples were taken off early at nearly last week's prices ; but the trade became extremely heavy afterwards at a decline of Is. 2s, per qr. on all descriptions ; and some quantity of the Essex and Kentish runs remained unsold at the close of the market. The new Wheat does not come to hand in so good condition as heretofore ; fine old is in conse quence more sought for, and prices fully supported. Barley has been very dull; 355. is considered the top price of the best general samples of Malting Corn, and 38s. of Chevalier. We have a fair supply of Oats, both new and old; of the former some small parcels of very fine, both Ireland and Scotland ; the sale has been very limited, and at prices scarcely equal to those of last week. There was a large supply of new Beau", which met a heavy trade at a fall of Is. per qr. ; old nearly supported prices'. Grey and white Peas were la. 4' qr. lower. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, OCTOBER 3. The improvement in dry Burr Ens, noted in our last, is fully sup ported, and there have been sales made to some extent.
