They accept reform at home, and try to turn it to their own pur poses when they cannot help themselves ; and they accept revolution abroad when it can be made to answer their views. They even hold up its hero as a patriot and a wise king. We have received several communications on the Repeal of the Union, in most of which the writers seem to us to mistake the problem to be solved. It is not to ascertain whether or not Ireland be unjustly treated (for that is generally admitted), but how the injustice can best be remedied. Now, that in justice was not inflicted by the Union ; it existed in an aggravated form before the Union : there is, therefore, no prima facie reason to believe that the repeal of the Union statute would remedy the wrong. According to the Repealers, the Irish Par liament sold the country,--and what guarantee would the Irish have, were the Parliament restored, that they would not again sell Ireland, and sell it to a worse foe than England. Before the Union, the Protestant Church cx- isted in all its unshorn wealth and bishoprics ; and the representation, and Government, were wholly Protestant. No Catholic was a Justice of tl%e Peace, or a Judge. Then, as now, the representa tion was unequal, as compared to England, as well as wholly Protestant. Then the municipal cor porations, the citadels of Protestantism, existed in all their strength ; now their walls are thrown down, and they are partly occupied by the Catho lics. We do not see a single one of the many in- juries of which Mr. O'CONNELL justly complains, that has been inflicted on Ireland by the Union, and therefore we see no reason to believe that to repeal it would redress her wrongs. The Union may, indeed, have caused a few more Nobles to reside abroad than before it took place, but, without a great alteration in the right of pro perty, the Repeal of the Union would not make Noblemen, who hate the bulk of the Irish and are hated by them, reside in Ireland. It is a Tory doctrine that a resident landed aristocracy is a na- tional blessing, but we beg leave to think that they and their game-laws, and" their encouragements to silly vanity and arrogance, can most advanta geously be dispensed with. Whether the Repeal of the Union be the bes t remedy for Ireland's wrongs seems to us to resolve itself into this question,—Whether are they likely to be more speedily redressed by obtaining the aid of the Liberal party in England or by provoking the opposition and hostility of the bulk of the Eng- lish ? We have never met with an Englishman or a Scotchman who advocates the repeal, though an immense number would aid Mr. O'CoNN ELL in procuring justice for Ireland. To ask for repeal, is to rouse against him erery man in Ireland who is opposed to the Catholics, and to make enemies of the English, who would join him in procuring justice. To demand the total abolition of the Irish Church, to begin with, would be opposed, like the repeal, by all the opponents of the Catholics in Ireland, but it would be seconded by a powerful and numerous party in. Eng land. So with the system of representation. There is a very numerous party in England, which de mands a complete equality of representation, all of whom would support Mr. O'CoNNELL's demand of justice to Ireland on this point, if made to the Imperial Parliament. In the interest of Ireland, then, in order to redress her wrongs more speedily and more effectually, it appears to us that it is im politic to separate her cause from that of the bulk of the English Reformers, instead of cordially uniting with them to obtain justice for all. un+ LONDON: SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, IMO. We had no wish, in the few remarks we yester day made on the condition of South Australia, to weaken the urgent appeal which the Colonial Ga zette and Spectator make for pecuniary help for the colony. It will most probably be better to aid the colony, than allow it to be destroyed. Lord.JoHN RUSSELL must find himself much flattered by the compliment—" That he is not apt to shrink from a suitable responsibility," coming from those who, in relation to this subject, have spared no term of opprobrium they could with any propriety heap on him ; but he will not be flattered into going beyond his duty, even to rescue the WAKEFIELD principle from disrepute. " South Australia," we are told, " has never vet appeared in the estimates ;" and we hope that he colony may yet be saved, without taxing the labourers of England. If it have in it such as tounding elements of prosperity as is said, there can be no difficulty in the capitalists there procur ing all the requisite supplies from their London friends, without taxing the public here, provided the government of the colony be placed under pro per control, and provided the persons whose pro perty will be answerable for the debt can be rescued from the mismanagement of any and every Colonel GAWLER. Self-government, or implicit submis sion to the parent State, which shall afford protec tion in return for all the patronage and income of a Government able to tax the colonists at its plea sure, is necessary to the preservation of the colony, and neither seems to us compatible with great success. The principle of Mr. WAKEFIELD'S scheme is to transplant an old society into a new world. It is expressly founded on establishing there the right of property which exists here ; and begins, like the monopolising landlords here, with exact ing a large rent, or price, for the use of the land, It professes, indeed, to employ the money so raised in sending out labourers, or serfs, to till it ; who) when they get there, are to labour, less for their own benefit than the benefit of those who send them thither, and have monopolised the land. It has been expressly stated that the object of the s cheme is to prevent labourers from becoming land owners, and to keep them labourers. That may promote the speedy colonization of the country, but it involves all the vices of the old society, and it especially carries with it, and establishes there, Me same monopoly right of property in land and over labour which exists in England. The obvious consequence of that is, that the society must be coerced somewhat like our own. The bulk of the people cannot be trusted to make laws for themselves, or they would obviously begin by abrogating that particular right of property which is established in the colony against them. They must have a Governor something like the mo narch of the old country, appointed by the Govern ment at home, or they .must submit implicitly to the mother country. Such a colony, by the very prin ciple adopted by Mr. WAKEFIELD, carries with it all the political vices of our society, and requires a system of coercion to keep down the bulk of the labourers, somewhat like that which prevails at home. That again involves waste and extrava gance, corruption :Ind misgovernment, such as now prevail in South Australia, such as Colonel GAW.. LER has been guilty of, and which we consider as necessary consequences of the WAKEFIELD scheme. Though the old plan of a body of men going abroad, taking possession of land, or squatting on it, and appropriating as much as they could use, carrying or not a charter with them, and govern ing themselves as they best could, with such help from the mother country as their wants required, or as their success attracted—though the old plan, which was followed on first planting the waste of North America, was full of hardships, which time and knowledge would enable men to avoid, we prefer it to the plan of some persons, whether constituting the Government or not, seizing hold of large tracts of country, and allowing no per sons to occupy it who cannot pay a considerable sum for every barren acre they may s ish to bring into cultivation. The first and only colony yet completely established on the WA KEFIELD principle is in great jeopardy, and can only be saved by means of help from without. The friends, therefore, of that prin ciple, admit that it has failed where only it has yet been tried, and it may henceforth be expected that he and they will be less forward in vituperating the Colonial Administration for not at once foregoing all the plans acted on for years, and acceding to all the schemes and recommendations of Mr. WAKEFIELD. Nothing is more remarkable in the conduct of the Tories, than their practice of opposing every kind of reform; and, where reform is accomplished in spite of them, of seizing it, and endeavouring to wrest it to their own purposes. This feature in their character, has attained for them the political name of—Flunkies of the Whigs. They continually wear, with great thankfulness, the cast-off clothes of their masters. Like ambitious flunkies acting high life below stairs, they assume, with the cast off clothes, the names and airs of their masters, call themselves Reformers, and demand public re spect for their apeish tricks. They stand by the Reform Act, they would improve registration so far as that would exclude their opponents, and they were even ready, as they could not help themselves, to lay their profane hands on the ark of the Church, and cut off some of its prebends and minor canons. They see the Whigs hurrying on from reform to reform ; and on every new territory gained by the latter, the Tories plant their banner, and cry aloud—See how great and victorious are we ? The most extraordinary specimen we have yet met with of this disposition to assume the mantle of the Whigs, and call themselves great politicians, was exhibited by the Standard last night. It ac tually called the Revolutionary King of the Bar ricades, " the Patriot King of the French." It spoke of Louts PHILIPPE as "a wise and brave man." It gave him credit for great ability in put ting a curb on the Parisians, and declared that the Citizen King, the revolutionary usurper of the throne of CHARLES X., -" governs the kindly. n atured people of France honestly and in good spirit." What the Tories will not worship, if' it be adorned with success and use coercion as its means, it will after this be hard to say. If Mr- O'CONNELL should overthrow the Union, and ins stal a Parliament of his own in College Green, then the Tories would call him the Patriot O'CONNELL, say he was a wise and brave man, and that he meant to lead the good-natured Irish honestly and in a - good spirit. Should the Eastern quarrel go no further, we shall be than' to it for having made the Torits sh' Our readers will find in another column a letter ;rom Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH to his consti tuents, the inhabitants of Leeds, elucidating his views on the Eastern question, and deprecating in the strongest terms any conduct, on the part of Ministers, likely to produce a war with France. We yield not to the Hon. Baronet in our horror of war, and no war presents so many horrors to our mind as a war with France ; but the very horror with which we regard war, compels us to support the policy which Ministers are pursuing in the East. Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH asks, with an air of scornful incredulity, if we are going to war to preserve Constantinople from Russia ? We trust that we are not going to war at all; but unless France be mad enough to mar, by her hostility, the good effects. of all that has been done, we are prepared to prove that the Treaty of London is fatal to any designs of Russia upon the capital of the Ottoman empire. By that treaty an end was put to the sole pretended guardianship of the Porte by the CZAR; the treaty of Unkiar Skelessi was torn to fragments and given to the winds ; and it only re quired the signature of France to convert it into the most potent moral instrument that ever existed for rolling back the tide of Russian aggression from the shores of the Bosphorus. That a nation so clear-sighted as France should not sce this at a glance, only proves to what extent an overweening vanity a constant self-love, and self-seeking egotism, is capable of disordering the mental visicn of the acutest people in the world. Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTII,COIOIICITHOMP sox, and the whole of that school of oriental poli ticians, treat the contest between the Paella of EGYPT and the SULTAN as an affair beneath con tempt. Now, as it involves the very existence of the Ottoman Empire, we cannot treat it thus lightly. These gentlemen forget that England took no part against the PACHA till after he had officially an nounced'to the Consuls-General of the Great Powers at Alexandria his determination to proclaim his independence. If Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH has forgotten this important fact, we recommend him to refresh his memory by turning to Colonel CAMPBELL'S despatches from Alexandria, which have been laid before Parliament by Lord PAL MERSTON. In one of these papers, dated " Alex andria, May 25, 1838," he will find the British Consul-General thus writing to Lord PALNIER STON :—" I have had the honour to report to your Lordship, in several despatches since my arrival in this country, my opinions as to the intentions of MEIIEMET ALI to endeavour, by every means, to throw off his allegiance to the Porte, and that sooner or later he would declare him self independent." After referring to his f sc o u r ol m -loG e n r leenl c c e lespatches on th e subject, the Gallant arlalel)d continued ov,.nimi‘ii.ncf a oo s r mc ie f i o dE l 1w : L o mETe s F h T r e e h n liclslat fore noondC t Con sul-Genera n a - t ( t — i t l h a e: morning a long interview with the PACIIA, who declaretive andhselhimself unequivocal i.ndep t e e i r m m ie s n i t h a vr. t had l : e w t a o s l d r h es im olv i e n d p t o o si the Porte." A few hours CAMPBELL waited on the PACIIA by appoint-, 1 ment, and here we shall again quote the Very words of the despatch r—g , He (the P ACHA.) said that he had requested me to call ,- ...pon him in order to communicate to m- . ... his fixed resolve, f which nothic _ g should divert him to ' ,de clare his indepen'4'ence of the Porte. That he was between twq swords, his family and the Great Powers ; that he had taken his present resolution, from which he would not swerve, as the interests of his family ;lernanded it ; and he then requsted sst to inform my Government, as early aa • Pos;ible of his fixed determination." This, : 'ffe Oink, is pretty conclusive upon . 0 1g } l ead. Now, had the PACH A been . 0 041 allowed to proclaim his independence, his diem,- next step would 1 have been to make war ou the TH SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31. 1840. Porte as an independent Power, and thus have in voked the presence of a Russian army of occupation in the very heart of Turkey. We are not fond of dwelling upon mere probabilities, but few will ven ture to deny that an European war would have been the result ; and that in the contest the Otto man empire would have been swept from the face of the earth, and civilization received a shock from which it would have taken an age to recover. But while we approve of the policy of the Govern ment upon this question, we are most willing to grant that enough was not concedsd to the feelings of France. The policy is excellent ; but there is nevertheless much to Warne in the way in which it has hitherto been carried out. Hence we are for making every concession, short of an abandonment of that policy, not only with a view to maintain the peace of the world, but to satisfy France of the really amicable spirit in which we regard her. But we cannot give up the Treaty of July, without re establithing the Russian Protectorate of Constan tinople. The contest betwee n the admirers of Lord LYNDHURST and Lord LYTTLETON—which of those Noblemen shall be High Steward of Cam biidge, is no otherwise interesting to us than as another evidence that the so-called Conservative or priest party is split into rabid and conflicting fac tions. There is a pure, and a very pure party, the " holier than thou," and the " holiest of all " men. The former consisting of Tory lawyers, eager for place and pelf, which their talents cannot command; of flexible priests, for whom religion is a mask, and politics a means of promotion ; and of all those who, in whatever profession, continually cry "paw, paw," against their opponenti, and smell sin in all their doings, choose Lord LYNDHURST for their representative. The latter, consisting of rigid priests and their weak tools among the gentry, fierce, uncompromising, stern followers of their own narrow creed, who condemn all other men to perdition hereafter, and political degradation here, find a model and a hero in Lord LYTTLETON. It is amusing to remark how the "holier than thou," and the "holiest of all " wen speak of each other. The latter having some respect or fear of their opponents, because they know that on them depends the little hold which the Saints can keep of the good things of this earth, insinuate charges of ambition and trea chery, accusing the " holier than thou" men of first betraying the Church, and then seeking to make themselves its masters. They call on the clergy, who petitioned against the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill, to mark how the " holier than thou" men then scandalously invaded the Church, and now insult them be asking their support, as if the "holiest of all" men were to' be only the servants of their less pure associates. The " holier than thou" men being of a compromising worldly disposition, have no respect for their ultra allies, whom they regard as obstacles to their political success, and brand as Jacobins, who seek to overturn " the due order and gradations of society." To sup port Lord LYTTLETON against Lord LYND IIUitsT is said to be the " worst species of Jacobinism, to which no parallel can be found since the early times of the French Revolution." The " holier than thou" men are full of-rage at the claims set up of superior sanctity, by the " holiest of all" men, aritl they reprove their ar rogance, as if they were radical sinners. For our part we care not a rush which of these sanctified classes obtains the victory ; we see their contests with satisfaction, and find our hopes strengthened, that the ao-called sinners will ere long get their own.

The Moniteur of Thursday does not contan any official list of the new Cabinet, but most of the private letters from Paris of that date, state ex pressly that the Ministry•may •be regarded as defi nitively constituted. In the lists supplied by the correspondents of our Morning Contemporaries some slight discrepancies occur, which leaves a doubt as to the finality of some of the appoint ments. As we expect by Monday to receive in an official form the news of the appointment of the Cabinet, we shall only quote here the private cor respondence of the Times upon the subject. The date is Thursday afternoon " The Ministry is at length constituted. The refusal of M. Dufaure and M. Massy to take office begat a necessity for applying elsewhere, and accordingly M. Hamann has been prevailed on to accept the Ministry of Finance. M. Cunin Gridaine will have the Depart ment of Commerce. The new Cabinet will accordingly stand thus : " Marshal Soult, President of the Council and Mi nister of War. 66 M. Guizot, Minister of Foreign Affairs. " M. Martin (du Nord) Minister of Justice. 66 M. Villcmain, Minister for Public Instruction. M. Humann, Minister of Finance. .6 Admiral Duperre, Minister of Marine. 66 M.

Foreign Affairs," says the Mwzitcur, "by M. ericke, , Charge d'Affaires of Holland." THE ASSASSIN DAEMES.—The Hanau Gazette of the 26th instant ann ounces, that the i nvest i gation made in the lodging of Darmesf had led to the discovery of papers, the contents of which havinr. been communi cated to the German overnments, had caused the au thorities of Frankfort to effect severul arrests on the 24th. A man whose name is well known k% the slier:- tific world was said to have secretly left that city. The ue of the 26th states that the indivi- Gazette de Cal ( g duals arrested (24 in number) consisted for the most part of men bclonging to the labouring class. A g my,—An Imperial Ukase, dated the RUSSIAN • 29th of September, commands 30 regiments of Don Cossacks to be armed by the Ist of November, which will furnish 15,000 cavalry ; and this appeal to arms at the beginning of the winter is not a little remarkable. PEAC4 OR WAR.—Count Woronnow, the Grovernor. General of Odessa, had announced to the Directors of the Bourse at Odessa, that M. Thiers' Ministry would be overthrown, and that, consequently the peace be tween Russia and France would not suffer any interrup tion. He assured the merchants that they might con tinue their mercantile communications with France in perfect security. DIPLOMATIC BODY.--" At twelve o'clock yesterday," the Commerce states, " a meeting of members of the diplomatic body was held at the hotel of Count d'Ap pony. Among them were the Prussian, Turkish, and Russian Ambassaders, and several Ministers of th e lesser German Courts. M. de Rothschild was also present. Count d'Appony had in the morning received despatches from his Government." Admiral Baudin arrived in Paris yesterday. " There is some talk about town," says the Univers, " of a letter from M. de Mettcrnich. recently arrived in Paris, and written in German, in which are expressed, in the most cnegetic terms, sentiments of the warmest irritation against the attitude assumed by France since the Treaty of London, and especially against the me naces of propagandism. This letter declares that the Four Powers will make no kind of concession to France until she shall change her attitude and language." We quote the following from the Courrier de Lyon : " Our democratic party wished to muster its forces in order that it might reckon its numbers, and in conse quence a grand Reformist banquet, which had for some time been announced, was held on the 26th instant in a meadow on the road to Villeurbanne. About 3,000 or 4,000 persons were seated at immense tables con verging towards a centre, where a tribune was placed, from which the orators delivered their speeches, and proposed toasts. Everything went on with tolerable order ; but this may be attributed to the rain—a powerful agent in keeping down disturbance. After the banquet the guests separated, and went to dine in the public-houses at Villeurbanne and La Guillotiere. The Marseillaise was not called for at the theatre, but was sung in the streets during the evening by various groups parading them." BOURSE.—PARIS, THURSDAY, OCT. 29. - - . HALF - PAST TIMM—The market has been brisk, and much business hone. It has been stated that the new Mi nistry was formed, and prices have in consequence ad vanced. For the Account the Three per Cents. opened at 74f. 50c., declined 5c., and rose to 75f. 30c., at which they close ; a rise of 75c. The Five per Cents, opened at 107 f. 40c., and closed at 1051., a rise of 65e. For Money the Three and Five per Cents. are 60c. higher. There were many previous orders to sell them for the Account at 75f., at which heavy sales were made; but the market, as stated above, continued to improve. Bank of France Shares are 451. higher.

Admiral Fleming, Governor of Greenwich Hospital, died at Leamington last night He was raised to the rank of Admiral of the Blue in 1837, 1 : and succeeded Sir Thomas Hardy, the late Go vernor, who died on the '2oth of September, 1839, thus having held the appointment, about which so much noise was made, only twelve months. COUNTY OF CARLOW.-Mt. Tighe starts on the Liberal interest for the county of Carlow. There was not the slightest truth in the report that the Hon. J. Ponsonby would come forward ; he is already in Par liament for Derby. The interest of Lord Duncannon, Lord Fitzwilliam, and Mr. Tighe, in the county of Carlow, are such that little doubt of success need be en tertained for any candidate zealously supported by their tenantry. The death of Mr. Vigors has produced a great sensation in Carlow, where he was very highly esteemed. No Tory candidate is yet announced, but the contest will be severe if Col. Bruen again stands. LORD HILL'S MEMORANDUM.—In reading Lord Hill's memorandum, which the Times praises so much, we are forcibly reminded, not by the resemblance, but by the contrast, of Buonaparte's celebrated addresses to his army. Their brief but clear and weighty sentences, sinking deep into the hearts of his soldiers, and making every one pant to distinguish himself as a hero, arc the very reverse of the rigmarole, sleepy jumble which Lord Hill addressed to the officers of the 11th Hussars. But Buonaparte's bulletins were written in the vigour of manhood : what he might have written had he fallen into dotage, it is impossible to say. We can, however, say positively, that he would never have outdone in twaddle the Mrs. Nickleby of the Horse Guards. Those wie have any regard 'for the reputation of Lord Hill ought not to allow the General Commanding-in-Chief to ruin it, and disgrace that noble name for such a person as the Earl of Cardigan. Lord Hill should have bitter his fingers eff before he gave any sanction to the Noble Earl's conduct, and, rather than be constrained by any influence to do that, he should have resigned. It is not yet too late to show his contrition for his error, and ap pease the public wrath by now taking that step. The Endymion an•d Vernon, two frigates of the lirgest class, have been, in addition to the other naval force, put in commission. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

The London and Greenwich Railway Company are preparing temporary accommodation for the be traffic. of the Brighton Railway , which will, it is said, partially opened next month. This shows a disposition to meet the wants and wishes of the Companies using the Grechwich line, and will, no doubt, be duly appreciated. —Railway Times.

CORN IN FRANCE. --The Echo des Holies states that the price of corn in nearly all the markets has experienced a considerable fall, and that flour must be re duced in proportion. The average on Tuesday was 54. 53f. Every point of the kingdom, add s, it .. appear s to havo au equally abundant aupply. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT GARDEN.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, FRIDAY.—We had an improved demand and an increased extent of busi ness during this week ; the appearance of the market is more healthy, and prices of American descriptions may be quoted id. per cent, higher than Friday last. Surat steady at the current rates of that day, and Bnizils rather easier to buy. Egyptian and Sea Islands are somewhat dearer. Speculators have taken 3,000 bales of American, and exporters 200 bales. The sales to day were about 5,000 bales of all kinds ; 2,800 bales of American, and 130 Bahia forwarded into the country this month unsold. LIVERPOOL SHARE LIST, OCT. 30.—Eastern Coun- ties deb. 3/. Bs. 6;1. ; Grand Junction quarter share, 281; Great Western Half Shares, 44 ; Fifth ditto, 61., The Caledonia steamer from Halifax, with a mail has arrived at Liverpool, by which New York, Boston, and Canada papers have been received. She left Bos ton on the 16th, and Halifax on the 19th October, and made the voyage in eleven days, bringing GO passengers. It appears almost certain that General Harrison will be the next President. _ The New York papers are ten days later than those brought by the last steamer. In respect to business there was scarcely any change since the Great Western sailed, but a fair amount of business was done for the sailing of the steamer, in bills on London at 8 9 ; there were at these rates some little demand lor specie for shipment. A large meeting of those opposed to the union of Canada was to be held at Quebec on the 14th. Major-General Sir James Macdonald had accepted he command of the troops in Upper Canada. United States Bank 64. Money-market, Sept. 15, r. M.—The bills drawn against the new crop will soon be plentiful in the market, to the extent, probably of 1.500,000 dollars in the next three weeks, and nearly 100,000 dollars drawn against other produce. The supply, with the limited demand which now exists, will cause a fall in bills, and the ex port of specie to cease. In the Stock-market a fair amount of business has been done :—United States Bank declined per cent.; North American Trust and Banking Company im proved per cent. ; Harlem, per cent. ; iStonington, per cent. ; Vicksburg declined 24 per cent. The general state of the market remains nearly the same. The question of resumption by the United States Bank has however become nearly decided in the negative. From Halifax papers received to October 16 : His Excellency, Major-General Sir John Harvey, in obedience to her Majesty's command, has assumed the command of the troops in Nova Scotia, New Bruns wick, &c., and has directed the head-quarters to be transferred from Halifax to Frederickton. HALIFAX, SEPT. :30.—His Excellency, the Right Hon. Viscount Falkland, accompanied by Sir Colin Campbell, with their separate suite?, proceeded under a salute at twelve o'clock this day from the Government House to the Council ; his Lordship took the usual oaths, and assumed the government of this province. STATE OF TRADE.—BUFFALO, SEPT. 2.2.--. We are 1101 V in the midst of our full trade, and every description of craft is employed ; several full cargoes from the upper lakes were received during the week. HAVANNAII, SEPT. 19.—The public tranquillity is quite changed since the new Governor came to this place. Robbers and assassins infest the roads and streets, even during the day. His Excellency, with all Iris titles, has retired to live out of the City, about four miles from his proper place, where every person who has any business with him has to go, exposing him self to all risks besides sickness. The Captain General is calculated to have made, besides his r.alary, about 600,000 dollars, during his residence in tlis place, and it is supposed be will soon retire to spelid it in France. MEXIco.—We learn 'from the aarleston Courier that a rumour had reached that city, that the whole State of New Mexico had declared for Texas. THE FUNDS.

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.) Two young men of respectable appearance, who gave their names J. Gallsworthy and IV. Ayres. were I charged, before Mr. Alderman Humpherv, with o b. \ taining a quantity of shirts and hosiery, to the va l ue o f 11/. 13s. 9d., from Mr. Lewis, of Fleet-street, hosier, !under false pretences. After a short inquiry the prisoners, who arc respect ably connected with members of the legal profession, were remanded to Tuesday. THE BITER BITTEN.—A young woman named Blackman, applied this morning to Mr. Alder man Humphery, under the following circumstances. She stated that a few days ago a terrier dog, of uausual value,being of the Scotch breed,and black and tan colour, was stolen from her. As her husband, who is in the country, valued the dog highly, and would let his anger fall heavily on her at his return if his favourite were not to be found, she offered a reward of 51. for its recovery. A cabinet-maker, named Andrews, who is also a dealer in dogs, called upon her accordingly, and told her that he could procure the lost dog if she would give him the reward. Ho the'n described the animal so exactly that she could not doubt his having it, or knowing where it was. She declined to give the money until she got the dog, and he declined to give up the dog until he g ot the money. He also prot es t e d t h at h e had not the dog in his own possession, but that he knew where it was, and could obtain it for a part of the money paid down. Not sal i fled with with this Mrs. Blackman now applied for a sum mons to Andrews to show cause why be did nut produce the dog. At a subsequent part of the morning Andrews ap peared at the bar with a fox coloured dog, and, after some investigation, the Alderman ultimately dismissed the case, recommending Andrews to restore the dog, and the complainant to give somo reward. THE UNITED STATES. The following is the extract of a letter posted at the North and South American Coffee-house : " New York Herald (Yee, Oct. 1840. " All other topics are absorbed by the coming elec tion. In all the State elections just over, and now in progress, Mr. Van Buren has lost ground, except in Pennsylvania. There is very little doubt now that General Harrison will be the next President. Mr. Webster will be his Prime Minister—there will be a sweeping change of measures, as well as of men. Internal improvements and speculations of ail kinds will he projected and carried out, ii funds arc forthcoming from England. A National 'link wilt be created, if the new Government have strength enough in Congress to effect it ; but as the Georg:a and North Carolina, and other Whig Members just elected to the new Congress are pledged to oppose a National Bank, there will be some trouble to bring this to bear ; at any rate, for a short time,at least, under the new Administration there will be a revival in all kinds of business and com mercial matters, a real or an assumed confidence will prevail, trade will look up, and take a fresh start ; speculations of, all kinds will be rife ; look out for large orders for manufactured goods, and all sorts of imports from Europe. - - - " It is expected that the prices of provisions and everything else will rise; but this is doubtful. Real estates may go up ; fancy Stocks and Bank Stock will go up for a time, except United States Bank, which nothing can retrieve. The corrupt conduct of that Bank has destroyed General Harrison's prospects in Pennsylvania. State Stocks will not be much affected by the coming contest ; they depend upon the prudent conduct of the several State Legislatures, and the means taken to preserve the cre dit and to pay the interest of their bonds. If Harrison is elected the European money credits will be flooded with all sorts of American stocks. Mexico is still un settled ; Texas is quiet and flourishing. In Canada and on our frontier there is much bad feeling. Trade is dull, confidence down, but money plenty on good security." FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER. Watered silks, satins, and velvets will be the mos fashionable materials for the toilette this season ; in the latter material, cloaks, pelisses, and redingotes, and other pretty aceoutrcmcns of winter, are preparing, being rendered more or less elegant by the embroidery, lace, gimp trimmings, or ornaments employed. A cheap description of velvet is made, having the samo beautiful appearance, but the foundation is of cotton ; it answers for many purposes of dress, young ladies' spencers, &e. Pelisse cloaks of black satin are expected to be very fashionable, lined with pink, green, or lilac silk, quilted in pretty patterns, resembling embroidery, and trimmed either with black lace or deep fringes inter mixed with the colour of the lining ; the form is simple, and they arc shorter than the dress. Rich and beautiful scarfs are made of velvet, in cachemire patterns, or of plain velvet, ponceau, blue velvet, &Cr., with Persian and Chine patterns ; others are of satin, embroidered all round with pines at the ends ; those of lighter materials will be much used in c‘en:ng dress. L'Orient broche, Reseillc de soic, Etoffe narce Jas pine, chine, recaille, soie, cristal, &c., are among the new materials for dress ; for neglige they are generally of thicker quality. l i alestrines and worsted materials plain, printed, or broche in rayes patterns. W inter dresses will be made long and fUll, and tight sleeves still threaten to. supersede the full ones. When the sleeves arc tight, they button to the bend of the new, having a deep cuff at the bottom, much wider than a wristband ; but fell sleeves may still be worn ; the corsages arc almost all tight and pointed with cordelicre or ceinture of ribbon, tying with a nand ; the buckle is quite confined to neglige. Many dresses are made of gros de Naples, reps d'Afriques Levantine, with velvet spencers of the same colour, the body plain, closing with buttons or Brandcnbourgs, with a narrow plaiting round the throat, or a narrow fluted trimming if the body is open ; biais will be the only trimming used ; flounces arc decidedly losing favour. Redin gotes are much worn ; the most fashionable are bor dered with a biais, the corsage tight and open, and tight sleeves ; every description of gimp trimmings, is used, cordelieres, Branderbourgs, torsades, &c., both on silk and velvet dresses. _ _ Bonnets continue to be worn small, but the fronts are a little deeper, and the brides arc placed inside, which gives a more open appearance, and allows more room for the hair. Capotes have the bavolet rather deeper, and the edge of bonnets is a little turned up. The feathers and flowers continue to be placed quite flat on the front. Velvet bonnets partake of the capote form ; the colours arc pensec green grenat : the newest style is the capote plisse of velvet. Voilettes continue in favour. Caps are made of embroidered muslin, trimmed with fine lace ; and for neglige of cambric embroidered and Valenciennes. Chenilles will be very fashionable this winter in trimmings as well as in flowers. INlanteaus of velvet, lined with silk of the same colour, are orna mented with gimp trimmings ; they form scarf in front and double pelerine behind. The manteau Russe is of white cashmire, with gimp trimmings of ecru colour. The bournous continues in favour ; the prettiest are of black silk lined with colours. They are of the deep cape form behind, with the ends rounded in front, and reaching towards the flounce of the dress ; simpler ones are of green merino lined with ponceau. The hair is not dressed quite so low as it has been, and curls are again seen a little frises. THE PHENIX STEAM Sfl IP.—The Harre Journal observes—" The loss of the Phenix is severely felt here, and was during the whole of 'Change on Tuesday the sole topic of conversation, as she was oneief the finest and most powerful steamers belonging to the port. It is felt as a great calamity to be by such a catastrophe de prived of her services in our intercourse with London. She was established three years ago by the house of Guillon and Bertrand, and conducted with the ut most regularity." The same journal adds the fol lowing particulars from a letter by a passenger We were about twelve miles from land, the sea calm, the s a t i a e rs t v lic e r o y brigh t,boats and our coming h ear regular each lights other, all t ht h e ri right.

Scarcely was the Britannia disengaged, but not without several times striking the Phenix, than the cap tain was convinced she was cut to the heart, and iloat our danger wag imminent.
