VENT fNG P3._iITIOI44!_ TOWN COUNCIL ELECTION. NEWCASTI.E.UPON-TYNE, Nov. 3.—Great has been the excitement here during the last two or three days in consequence of the Town Conned Elections. On the whole affairs have progressed favourably. A powerful effort was made to turn out Mr. W. A. Mitchell, the proprietor of the Tyne Mercury, an honest and indefa tigable Councillor, and always at his post, but all the wily machinations of the enenic were inadequate to un. seat the staunch supporter of the people's rights. Mr. Justice Nichol, a talented man of business, and a truly active and able Magistrate, was at the head of the poll of South St. Andrew's Ward by an immense majority. The worthy gentleman entertained his friends in handsome style at dinner, after the election, at the Turk'9. head In sll likelihood Mr. Alderman Ridley will be our new Chief Magistrate ; ha is a worthy man, and very attentive to his magisterial duties. If he only follows the footsteps of the retiring Mayor, John Carr, Esq., as regards the civic entertainments, which certainly have been done in admirable, not to say splendid style, during the present year, there can bc no doubt that the name of Ridley will continue as it always has been, a name to be mentioned with the greatest respect on the Banks of the Tync. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In your paper of Friday last I observed an editorial articla on South Australia, in which you con demq.what tai arc pleased to cal the Wakefield or South Australian System of Colonization. In the first place, allow me to tell you, that both of these appella tions are wrong, the system having been first proposed in 1830, by the Rev. Dr. Lang, of New South Wales, and carried into effect in that colony in 1831. It was not until 1834 th.t Mr. Wakefield propounded it, and in 1833 only was it acted upon in South Australia. In the second place, to prove that the system is not bad, but the reverse, we find by the speech of Sir George Gipps, the Governor of New South Wales, on opening the L.!,,aislative Assembly of that colony last July, that after paying all the expenses of the colony, he had in hand the sum of 150,000/. to be dedicated to the purposes of further immigration, since which period no leas a sum than 103,000/. has been realized from the sale :of land in the Port-Philip district of the colony, and from the existensive emigra tion constantly going on to it, there is little doubt that a much larger sum than has been before obtained will be realized before the end of the year. If people will embark for deserts in place of flourish ing settlements, they must lay their account with such evils as have occurred in South Australia. Birmingham, Nov. 4, 1840. MARK Tms. Our Correspondent is in error. The principle of the Wakefield system is adopted in the United ~tales, whence it was borrowed, both by Dr. Lang and Mr. Wakefield, with this difference, that whereas the Government of the United States did s nnething for the people who bought the land, such as secur d them in their possession, and defended them, Mr. Wakefield and his friends can do no ling whatever. Moreover, the sum for which Mr. Wakefield sells land is six times as much as it is sold for in the United States, while he does no thing for the buyers, but transport labourers to be their se; fs, unless the said labourers escape into the Bush and act for themselves. The example of South Wales, which is a felon colony, goes for nothing. Neither does the receipt of large stuns of money for the sale cf land. We were never convinced toa/.the Poyais Loan, however much the Cacique migfit have raised in the market, wa.:, either very profitable or very creditable to the len ders. Land may have been sold in New South Wales for a large sum, without it being a necessary c insequence that the speculaticn will ultimately be a ! zo Al one. Our Correspondent alludes to Ade laide Lein ; ; a desert, hut it is the necessary conse quence of Mr. Wakefield's scheme that a whole communi,v should he Iccated in one spot, and if that happen to be barren the evil is vast, if tt it ,rreparahle ; while individual colonists setting down in a swamp or a sand would soon perceive their iniAake, and remove their tents with out much loss. What has most astonished us in Mr. Wakefield's scheme is the announcement of I.6rd Eliot, that it made reserves for the aborigines. That the persons who go out to New Zealand, and meet the savages face to face and hand to hand, whether to fiidit or to deal, should seize or buy their land, we can excuse, though it involves in it the injury ci"' the aborigines ; but that a few gen tlemen or merchants of London should claim-1 never mind how acquired—a right to that land, and should mock the natives and mock us by pre teraling to reserve for their use some part of their oNn posse , s'ons—and all this done in the name of Christ ,rcy and love—is what we can neither excuse nor justify. We admire the adventurous s,iirit of our comntrytren, which carries them to the o:her side of the globe to establish another Britain th::re, but cannot admire the insatiable avarice, which, resting secure here, seeks to gather riches by their toils.

Slit,•---Seti2g in your widely-read journal an account of tb,:treatincnt of a Dissenter by a clergyman, at Dover, I beg to forward you an account of a somewhat similar Occurrence, which took place in this neighbourhood a few months back.

If you should think rroper to favour it with a place in The Sun, you will confer an obligation on the Dis senters in this. neighbourhood, and perhaps at the sane time do good to the country at large.

The parents replied by Air. Cialiam, a dissenting minister. Then, said his Reverence, as the child has not received a Christian baptism I shall slot bury it, and walked away. The parents, with tears in in their eyes, implored him to bury their child, and, on his refusing, :And what they should do with it; to which he replied, Do what you wit with it, I care not, They then r. quested the clerk to inter it, who did, in what these bigots term upeonscerated ground, but so near the surface, that a day or two afterwards, the coffin was discovered torn out of the ground by a dog, who, if it had not been discovered would .also h ave t orn t h e corpse f rom i ts slight covering. , ma , ,vn e the feelings of the afflicted parents at such borrif%ing deeds.

Ayr Ltbserver. NEWS FROM THE EASf DEFEAT OF IBRAHIM PACHA (From the Supplement to the Malta Times.) LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM THE EAST, MALTA, OCT, 27_ Yesterday afternoon two French steamers arrived in port from the Levant : one, the Leonidas, with the ordi nary mails, that from Alexandria bearing date the 16th; and the other, the Fulton, which left Beyreut on the 12th, and Alexandria on the 1 th inst. The intelligence from Syria is of great im p, .ce, and of a most satisfactory na ture, as will be seeny t c extracts we give. The Tahiri Bahiri, Ottoman Government steamer, hav ing on board the standard of Ibrahim Pacha, taken in the action wi;h him on the 10th, Colonel Hodges (who took part in that affair), and 120 Egyptian officers, arrived at Constantinople on the 18th inst. Admirals Stopford, Bandeira, and Walker were at Bey rout on the 12th instant, with five British and one Turkish ship of the line, and an Austrian frigate. The Great Liverpool steamer arrived at Alexandria on the 18th instant. Her despatches and letter; were taken into port by a French corvette, and she remained outside. There appears a hope that she will bring the India mail, but, in that case, it will most probably be the last. The Fulton proceeds to-day to Toulon. SYRIA. On the 10th inst. an engagement took place between the Allied troops and those of Ibrahim and Soliman Pachas, in which the latter were completely defeated, and took to the mountains with 200 cavalry only and two officers. 7,000 in killed, wounded, and prisoners, have, from the result of this engagement, fallen into the power of the Su blime Porte. The Emir el Kasim has been named successor to the Emir Bechir, and was, with a large body of mountaineers, in pursuit of Ibrahim Pacha, who has little or no chance of escape. We are in possession of Beyrout, which was evacuated on the night of the 10th, in consequence of a disposition manifested by Admirals Stopfotd and Bandiera to land troops. In order that nobody should be left, the sick were beaten out with sticks by their countrymen. About 2,000 in all, who remained outside the wells, reentered the next morning, and surrendered themselves prisoners. General Smith has fixed his head-quarters at Beyrout. On the 11th instant the Emir Bechir arrived at Sidon, and on information being given to Admiral Stopford, he on the 12th sent two steamers to roceive him, in which he embarked, and thus has finally carried his promise into execution. The camp at Djuni Bay is broken up. The only VC3' sels now remaining there are Vice-Admiral Walker's and two Turkish frigates, one of which, with 800 p, isoners on board, is to be sent immediately to Constantinople. Commodore Napier, in the Powerful, with the steamers Gorgon and Cyclops, have quitted Djuni Boy to attack Tripoli. By the taking of Bey rout about 20 pieces of artillery, with ammunition and provisions, have fallen into the posses sion of the Allied Powers. Reports of deserters from the fortress of Acre announce the impossibility of its being able to hold out, in conse quen2e of the continual desertions, and of its present en feebled state. Captain Berkeley, of the Thunderer, com mands at Sidon, which is so well fortified as to defy the at tacks of 15,000 men. The Archduke Frederick is also there. The Turkish troops have given proofs of courage, and have conducted themselves so well as to set at defiance the ill-natured reports of all enemies of the Sublime Porte As to their conduct. We never doubted their bravery, and it is ouly the desertion by their chiefs that could ever for a moment turn them from their fidelity to their young Sovereign, universally esteemed, nor could that easily happen. THE DEFEAT OF IBRAHINI PACHA The pitched battle with Ibrahim Pacha afforded an ex cellent opportunity to show the bravery and fidelity of the Turks. Ibrahim had taken up a very strong p,:sition near Beyrout, will 3,000 men. 4,000 Turks were sent against him, under the command of Selim Pacha. assisted by Ge neral Jock mus, Commodore Napier, and Colonel Hodges. The attack was so impetuous, that in a few minutes Ibra him was completely routed. 1,000 Egyptians were made prisoners, the rest were killed or wounded, or took to (light. With respect to the general war, the Egyptian army, at the most moderate calculation, has lust 20,000 in killed, wounded, prisoners, and deserters. THE RUIN OF THE CAUSE OF MEHEMET ALI IN SYRIA. Letters up to the 17th, via Egypt, confirm the ruin of the cause of the Viceroy in Syria. According to these letters, the Emir Bechir with 15,000 men had gone over to the Allies, besides irregular mountaineers. Two Egyp tian regiments had also gone over to the Allies. Ibrahim and Soliman Pachas had retreated before the victorious Allies, and their whole troops were in a state of the greatest demoralization. All is quiet and going on well in Egypt. These letters also mention, that on account of the re presentations of the English and Austrian merchants, the blockade did not take place till the 16th. ( From the Malta Times Correspondent.) ALEXANDRIA, OCT. 16, 1840, Captain Fisher, commanding the blockading squadron, in answer to a representation from the Consuls-General, ..ccompatiied by a copy of the circular, dated the 14th of September, addressed by the Sublime Porte to the Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers in Constantinople, which ap pointed that day month, the 14th of October, as the period of the commencement of the blockade, announced it as his intention to allow ♦essels to arrive and depart to the 16th, two days beyond the time fixed by the circular of the Porte, and he even released Mehemet Ali's coal vessel, to which the letters of the Consuls made no allusion. The Pacha returned from Cairo on the 14th, where the (fevered state of public feeling had rendered his presence necessary; disorders were frequently apprehended, and the spies and military were constantly on the alert. Abbas Paella nsinds nothing but hts pleasures. Ali Bey is the prime mover of the hatred against the Franks. Mehemet Ali, to do him justice, reproved both the sloth of the one and the ill-timed seal of the other, and caused Raven's and I lil l's hotels, and the desert station-houses, to be re-opened, and the alarm of the Franks and English in particular had somewhat subsided in consequence. This morning Mr. Green, a partner of the house of Briggs and Co., agents for the Peninsular and Oriental Company, went to Mehemet Ali, and Mehemet Ali an. swered, that no obstacle would be thrown in the way of any person or persons going to or coming from the Great Liverpool, or passing through Egypt. No change has taken place in the squadron blockading Alexandria. M. \Valewski, who returned hare on the 11th, is going o Syria, accompanied by Khosrew Effendi. his mission is to Ibrahim Pacha, but the nature of his communication is unknown. ATTACK UPON SIDON-..TAKING OF THE TOWN BY ASSAULT. SIDON, SEPT. 27. Sidon, with its garripon of nearly 3,000 men, its im mense stores of arms, ammunition, previsions—of materiel of every description —are all in the hands of the Sultan's troops. After the reconnaistance of the 20th, it was determined .o send a force to attempt the reduction of the town. Ac cordingly, on the evening of the 24th, the Thunderer, 84, Captain Berkeley, with the Wasp brig, an Austrian fri gate, and a Turkish corvette, got under weigh from Djouni for Sidon. On the evening of the 25th the Gor gen steam-frigate took on board from four to six hundred marines, while the Cyclops steam-frigate received about one thousand five hundred Turkish troops under the com mand cf a Prussian officer, Col. Zaue. Early on the morning of the 26th the steamers got under weigh, and in a few hours joined the other ships, about three miles to the northward of Sidon. The force was here increased by the very seasonable arrival of the steamer Stromboli, having on board from three to four hundred marines from England, having touched at Gibraltar and Malta, and of the Hydra. from Tyre. The steamers having towed the other ships into position, they all anchored, forming a crescent, which completely commanded the town from one extremity to the other. The Stromboli anchored to the extreme south, next to her the Wasp, the Austrian frigate, and the Turkish corvette. In the centre, commanding with her broadside the fort and causeway communicating with the barrack, lay the Thunderer, having the Cyclops and Gorgon steamers to the southward. The latter hoisted the broad blue pennant, Commodore Napier being on board. About half-past eight o'clock a flag of truce was sent on shore, and the town summoned. In the meantime some of the inhabitants took advantage of the offer of the French steamer Castor (which bas been recently giving us some curious illustrations of French neutrality), and went on board. In about two hours the ships opened fire, and it was only after they had been thundering away for an hour or so that we could farm some estimate of the strength of the place. Shot and shell fell upon it as thick as hailstones, without either making any very visible im pression upon the wails or enabling us to catch a glimpse of the red fez of a single soldier. At about one o'clock, however, a breach was made in the sea wall of the fort, while at nearly the same time one of the terrific broad. sides of the Thunderer swept in the whole side of the outer barrack square. What between the smoke of the guns and the dust of tumbling walls it was impossible to see whether soldiers were retreating from the barrack or not. At all events a signal was made to land the Turkish troops, and Capta i n Austin, of the Cyclops, was directed to attempt the breach. The launches, pinnaces, and boats of the different ships, with about 1,400 of the Turks, immediately put off under the protection of a continuous fire. When the boats reached the shore the ships neces sarily ceased firing, and before a single soldier could set his foot on land a heavy fire of musketry was opened upon them from the barracks and buildings in the neighbcurhood. The fire was returned from the guns of the launches, while a ll t h e b oats pu ll ed stea dil y in upon the shore, although th e s h ot passe d through some of them, severely injuring some of the s o ldi ers an d t h e crews . I t i s d ue !o ~ the Turks t o Fay that, alth oug h t wo o f th em were s h ot d eid in the boats, not a man of the whole body flinched in the landing. Had I not seen (although at a sift: distance fre petsenal blracvoeuryldar,dn distance) the cool courace of the F 1 . h blue jackets, men to perform such duties with such tcrrnnation.

Mo. marines, immediately turned one of the guns of the fort I upon the opposite building, :and by thus checking the fire of musketry considerably facilitated the landing of the re mainder of the troops. y While the Turkish soldier s were ; thus occupied in taking possession of the fort, the ships continued their fire upon the barrack, and upon the for tress, which commands the whole town. The fort, thus occupied, may be said to be the centre, as nearly as 1 us- Bible, of the attack ; and while it we.smakine, the marines ' were landed at both extremes, from the Gorgon e on the right, and from the Stromboli and the Austrian frigate en the left. Those from the Gorgon immediately formed on the beach, and, having sent skirmishers into the wood by which it is bordered, marched upon the barrack. Commo dore Napier accompanying them. It was arranged that the attack upon the barrack and the neighbouring build- , lugs occupied by the Egyptians should be made simul- I taneously by the marines from the right and the troops from the fort. This fort, as I remarked in a former letter, ' is connected with the barracks by a narrow causeway or bridge, which was fully exposed to the fire of the enemy. It was a trying service for any body of men to attempt to cross it. One of th mates of the Cyclop-i, Mr. Cumming, volun teered to lead the Turks, and he fully succeeded in inspiring them with a portion of his own intrepid spirit. They , undauntedly followrd their young and dashing leader, some cf them over the bodies of their fallen comrades. The whole force, directed by Captain Austin, Colonel Z sue, and Welker Bey, moved quickly after theae. They were immediately accompanied by the marines, led by Captain Morison, and, after a brief but severe struggle, the barrack was evacuated, the main body of the Egyp tians retreating up a narrow arched street. From a large house opposite to the barrack the firing was still con tinued. The leader of the Egyptian force, Hassan Bey, headed a sortie from this house, and, having three dif ferent times fired upon the marines, he himself fell, having received three musket balls through the body. No man could have served a cause with more desperate fidelity. From one of the prisoners it was subsequently ascertained ,that this leader had cut down one of his own followers who, at the last moment, attempted to hoist a w te flag. Seeing the soldiers and marines in possession of the fort, the barrack, and the principal street, the Egyptians at this point offered no further resistance, and eighteen hundred of them at once laid down their arms. They were imme diately marched across the causeway into the fort. In the meantime the attack upon the extreme left was made by the marines of the Stromboli and of the Austrian frigate. The landing here was more difficult and more se. verely contested than on the right. About 280 marines, English and Austrian, were embarked in the boats of the different ships, and, after a very heavy cannonading bad apparently cleared the way for them, pulled in to the shore. This part of the attack was under Lieut. Russell, of the Stromboli, who was accompanied by Mr. Chant berlayne, Mr. Warren, and Mr. Hurst, and about twenty of his ship's crew. The marines were led by Captain Whylock and Lieutenant Hoskin. There was some little difficulty in landing owing to the surf. During the time the men were leaving the boats they were exposed to a heavy fire of musketry, by which some of the men were severely wounded. As soon as they formed they rushed up a steep sandy acclivity leading to the breach through which they were to enter the town. Poor llockin, while cheering on the marines, a few yards in advance of them, received a mortal wound. The men continued, vying with each other to reach the walls first. An Austrian marine had the unfortunate glory, and was shot dead in the breach, which was immediately carried. The object of this division was to gain the fortress, which commands the whole town from an eminence almost in the centre. The attacking party fought their way gallantly through the streets, firing up into the houses upon their assailants, and iu leas than an hour their flag was floating from the fortress. The rigging of the ships was immediately manned, and three inspiriting cheers announced the com plete success of the attack. There was an incident worthy of remark connected with the attack upon the left of the town. Two midship men—Mr. Hunt, of the Stromboli, and one of the Aus trian trigate—were entrusted with the ensigns upon land ing. They contested the honour of first planting each his own ensign, endeavouring to outrun each other under the very heaviest of the fire. The union-jack eas first hoisted. The Austrian Archduke wrote that evening to the Admiral to ask for Mr. Hunt's promotion ; but as he had not yet passed, he is rewarded with an Austrian order. I believe a similar reward will be bestowed on his brave young competitor, The whole loss in killed and wounded I have not been able very accurately to ascertain. I believe that Lieute nant Hockin is the only Eegliah officer who fell. Six or eight marines and blue jackets arc, I believe, all our loss in killed. A considerable number, however, have been wounded, some of them very severely. The Turks suf fered in about the same proportion). It is said that abeut 300 Egyptians were killed. 2,470, including some sick, have been taken and sent to Djouni. Although the officers of the marines and of the ships made every exertion to prevent pillage, yet, taken as the town was by assault, it was impossible altogether to re strain the victorious soldiers. A new house, just finished, and splendidly furnished by Soliman Pacha, was completely gutted, and the valuable furniture destroyed. Even to Egyptian prisoners, however, I did not hear of a single act of personal violence. About nightfall a large house adjoining the barrack was discovered to be on fire. The flames spread very rapidly, and it was for a moment feared that the Turks or the mountaineers, who had kept pouring into the town through the evening, were wreaking a dreadful vengeance upon prisoners. As there was a French steamer in the har bour, I am particularly desirous of stating that the flue was purely accidental. In a little time atter it broke out I went ashore and inspected the buildings around it, and made the most minute inquiries. I found that the Turkish soldiers were billetted in the houses around, and some of them in this very building, and its destruction was to them a source of the greatest inconvenience. Some of the shells, however, which had been thrown upon this point in such destructive abundance must have lain smouldering amongst the wood-work, and hence the conflagration that ensued. It required not, Gud knows, this accidental fire to make of this quarter of the town one of the most horrible scenes it is possible to imagine. The struggle which had taken place concluded at too late an hour to permit of the removal of the dead or the wounded. In order to reach the town from the landing point it was necessary to scramble over immense piles of ruin, to which the blazing building beside them just gave distinctness enough to guide one through the pele-mele of soldiers, prisoners, groups of people, of what class I could not tell, rifling the dead, dogs prowling about inn flocks, the whole way covered with guns, broken swords, knapeacks,cartouche-boxes, heaps of shot, property of every description, the whole presenting a scene of s devastation and confusion that was truly appalling. And yet the ex cesses were fewer and far less aggravated than might have been expected from the customary license of such) triumphs. Captain Austin, attended by Mr. Cumming and Captain Lane, remained on shore all night, and it was gratifying to see that before ten o'clock nearly all the troop were in quarters, and nearly 600 of the pri soners already embarked. In the course of the evening I accom panied one of the officers into the town. Ibrahim had evi dently made this place the depot for the southern division of his army. Every place—every house—in fact, in this quarter was full of stores, provisions in abundance, cloth ing, arms, and ammunition. The three or four streets through which we passed presented the same evidence of the destructive effects of the thine f r om the ships. By the direction of the officers the body ei of Hassan Bey was removed to a shed, and a sentinel placed beside it. Esen in death you might trace the character of savage bravery that marked him through life. In his pockets were found some papers; most of them, however, illegible, having been torn by the shot or stained. The two following were preserved r— .' From his Excellency Soliman Pucha, at Beyrout, to Hassan Bey, Colonel of the 26th Regiment, at Sidon, 25 Regeb, 1256 ( Sept. 21, 1840.) " His Highness Seraskier Ibrahim Pacha wishes you to leave Sidon this evening at dark with your regiment. March by easy stages to the village of Mategall El Da mour on the right of the road, taking care to conceal all your soldiers in the houses, so that no person may be able to sec their heads. In the evening, a little before dark, let two companies move from the relapse, so as to make it appear they are marching to Beyrout. Two hours afterwards, when it is dark, let them rejoin their regi ment, and with it march back to Sidon. On your arrival order owe battalion to sleep in the castle, and about mid night move them into the town. Address them as encou ragingly as possible, and communicate this letter to the colonel of the 2d Regiment, who is at present in your town. That is all." This letter seems to have been written immediately upon Soliman Pacha having heard that the Cycolps had fired a few shots upon Sidon, and the object of the ruse was evi dently to induce a belief that the troops were leaving the town, and thus perhaps lead to an attack by a small force. The result, however, has been that, with the exception of about 150 men, the whole of the 26th Regiment, and a bat talion of the 2d, has been either killed or captured. The piffilication of the second letter is but an act of justice to the humanity of the French Government, whose present neutral position enables them to render such ser. vices as that of placing a war steamer at the service o one of the belligerents. This letter is dated the 25th of September : - " The French steamer goes to Sidon to take on board all my family. I pray you to give every facility to this matter, furnishing to the steamer everything it may require, and with as little delay as possible. The great point is to do everything as speedily as possible. " I also send you an order to the Governor of your town to give the necessary provision of barley for my four horses, in order that they may leave the town immediately, under the care of my good groom, El Hannaby. That is all." The French steamer the Castor, which is, I suppoEe, " the French steamer" alluded to, left Alexandria about ten days ago on this becoming mission, and, being obliged to send ashore for the purpose of taking Soliman Pacha's family, could not, of course, prevent tie landing of a mili tary officer in the Pacha's service, who had been a pas senger from Alexandria, and a considerable sum of money sent by Mehemet Ali. Indeed I have been a good deal struck with the general simplicity of the French naval officers who are watching orcr the interests of their coun- try in this part of the world. Oa the 20th, while the steam,. r was fling upon Sidon, the c:ptain of the corvette lirillante suggested that the large building adjoining the fort should be spared, as it was an hospital crowded with sick (only shift the scone from Sidon to Jaffa, and that historic il justice in this interference of a French officer in behalf of the inmates of a Syrian hospital !) It was very gratifying to find, however, that these hu mane apprehensions were unfounded, for the hospital turned out to be a barrack, loopholed and fortified, the strongest and most dangerous position held by the Egyp tians.

Tilia Admiral Hugon has no intention of moving if he can poss:bly avoid it, may be gathered from the fact, that he is making a carriage-road from Salamis-bay to join the Pirmus road, a distance of about two miles and a half.

It is well known that upwards of twenty years ago, by a successful stand against oppression, Sheffield managed to rid itself of that abominable nuisance, a Church-rate. Two or three years since, Rotherham, following so good an ex ample, resolved also to shake off the incubus. But, Ro therham being situated near to Wentworth House, and the tradesmen of Rotherham Lei g in a great Ira cure depend ant on Earl Fitzwillkm, the Tories made a very conve nient use of the Earl's known prediliction for the Church, as follows :—They found a legal flew in the sal ing of the meeting at which the rate was refused ; seized the op portunity of his Lordship's presence in the neighbourhood, and called a second meeting. This meeting the presence of his Lot dihip so far ovel awed, that to the shame of the inhabitants, the rate was carried. CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 18 Politics have been remarkably qui et d ur i ng the last few i days. French diplomacy n particular is at this moment marked by moderation, and we have heard that the re newed mission of M. de Walewski to Alexandria is of a most pacific tendency. lie is to use all the means in his pawer to persuade Mehemet Ali to tender his submission on terms admissible by the Five Pow ers, an d i f the Paella be still in time, he will act wisely in following this sug gestion.

The idea that the Sultan can not possibly govern Syria and Egypt w ill b e dispelled now that troops can be sent thither by steamers in four or five days. Tini3e provinces are to-day nearer to the capital, as far as communications are concerned, than Salonica was a few years ego. Too little attention has been paid to this important truth. As, therefore, his Lordship was found so convenient a cat's-paw to the Tories and the parsons at Rotherham, it was thought that his presence at Sheffield might influence the rate-payers in a similar manner. This opinion has proved erroneous; the Sheffield people were not gulled so easily; and whoever reads the account in the Sheffield Independent will not envy Earl Fitzvvilliam the trest pro vided for him on the occasion. Notwitstanding the astounding anathemas which fell from worldly-mieded parsons—Church-rates, and all other kinds of ecclesiastical rubbish, Lord Fitzwilliam had the impudence to join in the demand for a poll. As the result of the first day's trial left mother Church in a minority of about one to six, thc absurd 'attzmpt was abandoned. Sheffield, November 4, 1840. A SHEFFIELDER. THE CORN-LAWS. BOLTON, Nov. 5. —On Tuesday] evening last a meeting of the electors of the borough of Bolton, convened by cir cular, took place at the Town Hall. It was called by the Chairman of the Anti-Corn-law League at Manchester, in pursuance of a resolution passed by them for the purpose of communicating with the various constituencies in the kingdom, with a view to the return of Members pledged to the abolition of the Corn-laws. The meeting was ad vertised to take place at half. past six o'clock. Shortly after that time the deputation appointed by the League en tered the room, viz., J. B. Smith, Esq., Chairman of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce; Richard Cobden, Esq. ; John Brooks, Esq ; and Edward Hall, Esq. ; I also noticed on the platform Peter Ainsworth, Esq , M P. ; C. J. Derbyshire, Esq. ; Thorns Cullen, Esq., Henry Ainsworth, Esq; Edmund Ashwood, Esq. ; Thomas Thomasson, Esq. ; James Knowles, b.sq. ; Thomas Barnes, Esq. ; James Winder, Esq. ; Abraham Haigh, Esq. ; Rev. William Jones ; Rev. F. Baker ; and other influential gentlemen of the neighbourhood, C. J Derbyshire was called to the chair. After the Chairman had stated the purport of the circu lar, by which the meeting was convened, J. B. Smith, Esq., addressed the audience atZconsiderable length, in support of their views, followed by Mr. Cobden and John Brooks, Esq., the !emu- being exceedingly lucid, terse, and felicitous in his observations, caliber forth loud and reiterated expressions of approbation. A t 'very different re ception awaited our pseudc- Liberal member, P. Ainsworth, Esq. The evasive, and anything but straight-forward manner in which he spoke upon the question excited fre quent and considerable expressions of disapprobation. After a good deal of verbiage, the electors at last suc ceeded in obtaining a reluctant pledge that he would sup port any Bill that might be introduced mitt Session of Parliament, for a total and immediate repeal. The conces sion, however, was given too tardily to be appreciated. Whenever another election takes place for this borough, his duties as a Legislator cease, and he will fall back into that position from which he ought never to have been di,turbed. It was afterwards moved by Mr. Thomasson, and seconded by Mr. Hall, " That this meeting pledges itself to return two Nlcin:•ers pledged to a total and imme diate abolition of the Corn-laws." This resolution wis carried unanimously, amidst loui, lung, and prolonged cheering. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman arid Deputation, and the meeting separated. Upwards of 400 electors attended the meeting. It is not improbable that two Liberal candidates will be brought forward at the next elcetisn. COURT CIRCULAR. —.,-,----- 1 --TO THE EDITOR O 1 THE SUN.

THAMES HAVEN DOCK COM- PANY. We are happy to find our Contemporaries have taken up the subject of .the Thames Haven Dock and Railway, for the formation of which an Act was obtained in 1836; but tile Company has been unable to proceed with its works, owing to the high toll demanded by the Eastern Counties Company. Really it is extraordinary how this latter Company has marred everything it has to do with ; not only have they destroyed their own prospects, but they have done everything in their power to destroy others, and disgust the public by their utter mismanagement ; and now, after four years it appears by the - Inspetroes - Rez port that terms have been made. Why was it not equally advantageous to do so before? Verily these tyranniest monopolies should be looked to by the Legislature. We are by no means sure it would not be better for the Thames Haven Proprietors to make their dock at once, and apply to Parliament for an independent line into London, for if so laTe a traffic as the prospectus anticipates is realized, it will be necessary to have It under the entire and sole control of one Company. Under arty circumstances, however, we Adl be glad to see a dock made at the en trance of the Thames, to clear the river of some of its now crowded and comingled shipping, forming always a dangerous passage across, and sometimes a barrier ; a steam-dock would not only be a luxury and security, but has become essential. We gather from the report that this scheme is being favourably looked at in the coal districts. Glad should we be indeed to see the coal-owners making common cause with the public to reduce the price of coals in the metropolis, and if this can be done by means of the Thames Haven Dock Railway, it is their bounden duty to assist its construction. No greater boon could be offered to all classes than cheap fuel, and if the expense of the coal transit can be reduced in any way it ought, Upon the whole this Company wants nothing but a small additional capital to make it the most useful which has been brought before us, and we re commend it strongly to speculators and philanthropists, both from its assurance of profit, as well as from its saving lire and property in avoiding the collisions in the river, and from its bringing coals and fish to the London market, at a price within the reach of the poor. Mr. Brackenbury, her Majesty's Consul at Cadiz, has rapidly returned from England to Cadiz in eon. sequence of the alarming indisposition of Mrs. Bracken_ bury, who, we regret to learn, is in a most precarious state. SIR ANTHONY CARLISLE.--On Monday evening last, died, at his house in Langliam-place, after an illness of a few weeks, in the 73d year of his age, Sir Anthony Carlisle, senior surgeon to the Westminster lion pita!, one of the Council and Board of Examiners of the Royal College of Surgeons —of which he had twice been President—a Fellow of the Royal Society, &c. &c. This very eminent surgeon has long been numbered among the most distinguished anatomists, physiologists, and naturalists of the age—a fact of which not only the most competent judges, but his numerous publications in all those depart ments of seknee, bear undisputed and ample testimony. His professional ability was early proved, and his repute:. tion established, at the Westminster Hospital, of which ancient and excellent charity he became a principal sur. geon at the age of twenty-five. There, too, he was no less remaikable for his unaffected constant humanity to the suffering poor, than for his skill in the treatment of their diseases. During a period of sixteen years Sir A. Car lisle was Professor of Anatomy and Lecturer to the Royal Academy. He was also Surgeon-Extraordinary to George IV., at whose first levee he had the honour of knighthood, which was unsolicited, conferred on him by the recommen dation of the Privy Council, and solely on the ground of his professional merits. LORD 'CULLA MORE.—His Lordship, according to letters received in town on Wednesday from Hanovet, was going on as favourably as could be expected, and no apprehension was entertained that his accident would en danger his life. The Countess of Charleville left on Sunday morning for Hanover to join his Lordship. The Noble Earl remains in town. DEATH OF SIR GEORGE BEESTON PRES CUTE, BA RT. —The above Baronet died on the 25th ult , at Paris. lie was born in 1775, and succeeded to the Baronetcy in 1801. Ills Lady, daughter of the late Baron Moucheron, survives him. The deceased's Baronet's son, George William, by his first marriage, succeeds him in the family title and estates. The Master-General of the Ordnance (Sir Hussey Vivian) and family have been placed in mourning by the demise of the gallant gentleman's uncle, the Rev. W. H. Vivian, who died on Tuesday last, in his 83d year. The Marquis of Clanricarde arrived in town, on Monday, from Portumna Castle, the family seat in lee• land. Tile Marchioness also previously arrived horn a visit to the Duke of Portland, at Welbeck Abbey, Notts. The Noble Marquis and Marchioness have since gone on a visit to Earl and Countess Cowper, at Pansanger, Herts. Lord and Lady Francis Egerton and family arc expected to leave Worsley Hall next week for Oatfands, Surrey, salters they intend passing the winter. The Earl and Countess of Harrington will shortly leave Stanhope Hou.e, for Brighton. Her Lady ship has quite recovered from her slight illness. TORQUAY, DEVON, NOV. I.—The Earl and Countess Brownlow, the Ladies Cust, and Miss Mac donald, the Hon. General Sir William Lumley, K.G.C., and Lady Lumley, Sir Robert and Lady Fitzwygram and family, Lady Isabella St. John, and the Viscountess Bolingbroke, have arrived here. Several other families of distinction are expected for the winter next week. SOCIETY OF A RTS.—The first meeting for the present session was held on Wednesday evening, in the society's great room, at the Adelphi, George Moore, Esq., P. R. S., in the Chair. The Report of the finances of the Society having been read, a letter was reaj from the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen, and another from the Court of Comm..n Council of the City of London, re questing information from the Society on the subject of tire-escapes. The presents of books announced were numerous. Various communications were announced, which were referred to the several Sub-Committees. The chief discussion of the evening was on the recommendation of a Committee for altering •and lessening the times of meeting, and that the illustrations should occupy the place of one of the ordinary meetings. It was alleged that the Society was not so much of a scientific as of a distributive nature, and that instead of meeting, as other bodies did, for mutual improvement, their business was to examine and reward the inventions and improvements of the ingenious and industrious. A requisition for a special general meeting, to be held that day se'nnight, was unanimously agreed to. The names of the gentlemen who are to succeed Mr. Alderman Gibbs and Mr. Farncomb, in the office of Sheriff, is already a subject of conversation in the Corpo ration. The gentlemen fixed upon are Mr. Aldermen Magnay and Mr. Burton, an opulent member of the Com mon Council, front Aldersgate Ward. The Monitorr publishes the names of the pupils just admitted at tise Ecole Polytechnique. They are 210 in number. The name at the head of the list, which is drawn up by order of merit, is that of M. Gustave Ed mond Bonnet. An English name, that of M. Edward Phillips, is the eighth ; and another English name, that of M. Edward Alexander Archdeacon, is the 191st on the Lst. Of the total number, three are pupils of the Royal Military School of St. Cyr, and eighteen are privates of regiments in various branchas of the service. ENGLISH COMMERCIAL REPUTATION.—In speaking of the various manufactures and trades carried on in Egypt, at the present time, Dr. Boring states that the character of English merchants and English .. Ens. lisp mer chandisethroughout the East is very bi g h. An En, lish wo r d" repre,.ents a pr , o - nige to be fulti l l , A, and " Eng. lish manufaeture" is considered a warranty of superiority. This .opinion goes so far, that English commodities gene rally sell in the Levant for something more titan their average comparative value. SPAIN. The Madrid Papers of the 28th ult. have arrived. The Corresponsal gives the following account of the Queen's entry into Madrid :—" At one o'clock this day Queen Isabella IL made her public entry into the capital. The unfavourable state of the weather and the rain, which fell in torrents, did not prevent the inhabitants from crowd ing the streets along the line of procession from the Puerta d'Atocha to the Palace. The discharge of :artil lery, the merry peals of the bells of different churches, the shouts of the soldiers, and the benedictions of the people, contributed to give to the Queen's reception every demonstration of loyalty and attachment. The battalions of the Royal Guards, the Luchana Chasseurs, the 4th and s:h Regiments of the Line, the battalion of the Reina Gobernadora, the National Regiment, and the eight battalions of the National Guards, with the horse and foot artillery of the garrison, were drawn up from the square in front of the Palace to the bridge of Toledo. The streets were thronged, and the balconies occupied by ladies in their gayest attire. Ger.erals Lopez and Lo renzo, with a brilliant stiff, passed along the lines. Se veral rounds of artillery announced the Queen's arrival at the Puerta d'Atocha. A squadron of the Ma•lrid National Guard headed the procession ; tit xt came several carriages containing the members of the municipality of Madrid, pre ceded by the officers and insignia of that body. Then followed a carriage drawn by four horscs,decorated with plumes of blue and white feathers ; in this vehicle were a number of young girls, occupied in strewing flowers and garlands along the line of procession. Next came a splendid landau in which sat the Queen and her august sister, with the Marchioness de Santa Cruz and the Lady of Honour to her Majesty. General Espartero, in full uniform, and wearing all his orders, rode at the side of the carriage next the Queen, and close to him the Duke de San Carlos, the officer of the body guards, followed by a numerous staff. The Ministers were in an open carriage. The escort was composed of the Princess's Hussars and the Lancers of the Guards. From the balconies and win dows there •descended a profuse shouter o: poetic ad. dresses, printed on fancy and coloured paper, and white doves were let off with ribands and collars. tier Majesty was received with the greatest enthusiasm along the procession, and until she entered the Palace. At two o'clock the troops began to file off : the younr? Queen, the Infanta, the Marchi oness d e S anta C ruz , and General Espartero, remained at the balcony during this operation, which lasted nearly two hours. Although the cold was intense, the Queen and her sister refused to quit the bal cony for a moment, and preferred remaining there to wit ness the marks of attachment displayed by their brave de fenders. The tear was seen to fall from many a soldier's eye. Isabella is in the midst of a people by whom aim is adored. The Correo National states that the Bourse Ras ani mated at Madrid on the 27th, and a good deal of business was transacted. The Five per Cents. were done at 25 per cent. for cash, and 25& at sixty days. GERMAN Y. POLISH FRONTIER, OCT. 23.—The accounts both fiora OJcssa and the interior of Russia are so conflicting that it is impossible to discover the truth amidst all this con- fusion. All the communications proceeding from public authorities, and even from single and civil officers, posi. Lively deny all extraordinary armaments, and even dispute the approaching embarkation of 12,000 troops to the coast of Asia Minor ; private letters and commercial travellers, on the contrary, cannot sufficiently describe the vast arma ments in the ports of the Black Sea, and state that three divisions are about to come back in order to encamp for the winter near Scutari, where they are to remain till the political state of Syria shall render it necessary for them to advance. Yesterday it was even affirmed that the troops had already put to sea. From St. Petersburg we learn that the projected visit of the Imperial Family to Moscow, and the journey of the Emperor and his eldest son from that city to the south, fur which everything was prepared, is put off for the pre sent, probably on account of some political affairs that hive intervened. The Baltic fleet was still at Cronstadt arid Revel, but it was provided with everything necessary, and it was thought that it would winter in a more southern part of the Baltic, to be able, if required, to proceed to the Sound without being prevented by the ice, which con. stantly interrupts the navigation in the Gulf of Finland, &c., four months in the year. It is not yet known whether a foreign Power has agreed to the application mada to it on this subject ; and there are still some doubts, though we hear that the fleet will winter in the harbour of Copenhagen, which would certainly be a great advantage in case of war, because the BaltiC would be thereby closed .against French ships.

PATRICK.—The approaching elec tion of the successor to the late lamented Dean of St. Patrick engrosses, as it justly ought, a large share of pubic interest and conversation ; and this arises not more from the importance of the subject and the characters of the candidates, than from the fact that it plainly tests the principles of that body of Churchmen—the chapter of St. Patrick—in whom the election of Dean is vested.—Mail. [Mr. Daly and Mr. Wilson-are candidates for the vacant Deanery.] THE O'CONNELL TRIBUTE —From all quarters we learn the gratifying intelligence that this great Reform demon str&tion will be as national as the Liberator himself and the principle of reform of which he is the champion and prop.—Pilot. Mayo.—Several Reformers have intimated that they shall stand for the county. The only candidate on either side who has committed himself to paper is a Mr. Kirwan, who states he is a Conservative, whilst he at the sane time gravely assures the constituency that " the people is ill find in him a firm and unflinching advocate of their rights and privileges." EFFECTS OE ENIANCIPATION.—Sir Michael O'Loghlin, as locum knells for the Lord Chancellor, on the opening of term last Monday. intimated to Mr. Pigot that his ap pointmcnt as her Majesty's Attorney-General for Ireland had beet► received, and the Right Hon. Gentleman was ac cordingly sworn into office by Mr. C. Fitzaimon, as Clerk of the Hanaper. How the immediate progenitors of the above three officials—who are all Catholic—would have wondered and exulted at the scene, could they have wit nessed it !—Pilot. BRUSSELS, Nov. 4.—The average price of wheat last week was 20f. 86c., and that of rye 12f. 9c. Rxportatioe is still prohibited, and the importation of wheat duty free. Rye pays 21f. 50e. duty on .1,000 kilogrammes. The electors of Cheltenham have it.vited their Representative, the Hon. C. Berkeley, to a public dinner. The glory of Guy Fawkes is departed, and the commemorations of Gunpowder Plot have only left the ragged and rascally remnant of an annual street nuisance, of no great amount, whiell enables a few dirty boys to pocket the pence they pitifully beg in the name of " poor (Id Guy." The national celebration has long since died its natural death. Continued persecution of the Catholics, ferocious at first, bw.gradually wor n d own b y t h e improv ing spirit of succeeding generations, to a system of poli tical exclusion, paid back the sanguinary debt which had been incurred by the intention oldie conspirators of 1605. And the Peel and Wellington Bill of 1829 was tantamount to an act of mutual and final oblivion. That it has not so operated, nor succeeded in quelling the demon of theolo gical animosity, and making it give place to Christian charity, is very much owing to the exigencies of the Tory party, and its need of tho-disgraceful aid of the worse than sectarian Ligotry to regain its political importance.— Chronicle. Died at Dundonald, on the 26th ult., in the ninety-second year of her age. Margaret Alison, relict of the late Lawrence Cockburn, blacksmith. She retained her faculties unimpaired to the last, having been in the parish church, of which she was a regular attender, on Sabbath, the 11th ult. This somewhat remarkable old woman had 11 children, 108 grandchildren, 112 great grandchildren, and great - great-grandchildren—in all 239! The venerable helpmate in the song, when address ing her much-loved partner, says— " John Anderson, my joe, John, We've seen our bairns' bairns" but this worthy old matron was blessed with having seen her bairns' bairns' bairns' bairns.—Ayr Observer. THE NEW IRISH CORPORATIONS. —Procla mations have been issued by the Lords Justices, counter. signed by the Under-Secretary, N. H. Macdonald, fixing the days upon which the Irish Municipal Bill shall come into operation in the cities of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, and Londonderry. In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Poor-law Commissioners, Messrs. Lefevre, Nicholls, and Lew it, had certified to the Lord-Lieutenant the days on which a rate for the relief of the destitute poor had been made in each of those cities, from which it appears that the rate was completed in Cork on the 30th December, 1839; in Dublin on the 9th April, 1840; in Limerick on the sth of September, 1840 ; and in London derry on the 14th October, 1840. The Lord -Lieutenant being empowered to declare that " upon the day happen ing next after the expiration of twelve calendar months" from the day stated in the certificate of the Poor-law Com missioners, the Act shall be in force, it is announced by the Lords Justices that the Municipal Reform Bill shall be in operation in the cities named on the days following : Cork, 31st December, 1840; Dublin, 10th April, 1841 ; Limerick, 6th September, 1841 ; Londonderry, 15th of October, 1841.

DUBLIN, Nov. 3.—The Lord Chancellor is somewhat better to-day. A notice was posted in the Court of Chancery to say that his Lordship would hear any pressing bankruptcy or other *notions at his own house Stephen's-green. It i s ex p ecte d h e will be able to come down to Court in a day or two. The Hon. Jostice Bur ton has not as yet come down to Court, but his health is improved. Messrs. the Attorney and Solicitor Generals, with Sergeant Stock. M. P., were sailed in due form by the M.lster of the Roll s on t h e i r elevation to their present offices. Lady Charlotte Greville arrived at Mr. A. Gre ville'F, in Grosvenor-place, at the close of the past week, fiom a visit of several weeks to Lord and Lady Frances Egetton at sA r orsley Hall, Lancashire. Her Ladysnip has since gone to Tubbridge Wells. MENTz.—Advices from Mentz state that the inhabitants have been desired to hold themselves in readi. ness to receive a garrison of 8,000 men, which will consist it is supposed, of 4,000 Austrians, and 4,000 Bavarians. FLOOD S IN FRANCE.—From Besanon, we learn that the floods in that country have done great damage, having broken down embankments, stopped manufactories, destroyed bridg. s, intercepted roads, and inundated houses. The two rive' s• which traverse Loos Ic Saulnier are higher than were ever known in the memory of man. At Bette_ runs a house has been washed away, and the barracks threatened with the same fate. iIW.FINt Ntt Pa r) HIS MAJESTY the EMPEROR o r, AUSTRIA having AUTHORISED and G U R A NTEED sever a l DISTRIBUTIONS o f 1%1',10) DIVIDENDS, which (thou g h t h ey are NO LOTTER' ,Cer many possibilities of obtaining LARGE FORTUNES.
