LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THIS DAY, at the ELECTION of a DIRECTOR, I redeemed my pledge at the Ballot ; the result was against me. To the friends who en this occasion hcnoured me with their support, I tender my grateful and respectful acknowledgment. The spontaneous promises of the interest of numerous in fluential Proprietors, the accession of friends no longer divided in their feeling., and the release from adverse engagements of others zealous for my success , induce me, without hesitation, to submit myself again to the sense of the Proprietors, in the confident reassurance that so warmly encouraged and so powerfully supported, the attainment of my great object is only deferred until the next vacancy, when I again pledge myself to proceed to the Ballot.

We sometimes ask ourselves, as we read the ac counts of the proceedings of Societies to promote dio:lesian schools, national education in the tenets of the Church of England, to build new churches, and such-like crotchets, ti-hat is all this to end in ? It is quite clear that in the majority of instances a factitious enthusiasm, or interested motives, stir up all the bustle. It is equally clear that this factitious enthusiasm; having its origin in a notion that the Church can regenerate the nation, which ea ' petience has proved •tObe"false, Unlit . he as tern porary .as it is faatitiOus It is equally clear that those who are so busy from interested motives will no sooner be placed or provided for than their motives for strenuous exertions will die away, and the schools and institutions once endowed will, in spite of visitors and guardians, soon be occupied by men who will study only how to ob. tain and enjoy their income with the least labour. To keep alive such an agitation for a long period is plainly impossible, and in a few months, or a few years at farthest, the people will be again allowed to pursue their own course, less interfered with than before, owing to the lassi tude and disgust which always follow a dose of factitious excitement. In the meantime, however, the people will go on getting more knowledge, day after day, and learning better to weigh the motives and weigh the doctrines of those who are so zealous to obtain power over them. The discussions which the ex traordinary claims, both political and religious, of the priest party will force en, cannot fail to expose their doctrines to a searching examination, and make the people competent to judge of their pre- 1 tensions. The number of fluent orators who have lately risen amongst the working classes, the publication of such works as that of Messrs. LOVETT and Cow fcs, the extensive circulation of such a Journal as the Dispatch, and numberless other similar facts, show that the clergy will now appeal to an intelligent, well-in formed people, who are hostilely rather than favour ably inclined to them. They will , not have to deal with persons wholly ignorant of the wonderful tidit,gs they bring, like our Saxon ancestors or the New Zealanders, and may not, like mis sionaries instructed in all the arts of civilized life, hope to obtain influence over the multiqk. Their exertions are ill-timed. Their system has no other principle of vitality than the selfishness of a few men, who, seeking after power and wealth, on obviously false pretexts, will not be credited. Their own disbelief, as evinced in their conduct, lies like a canker at the root of all exertions, and blights the produce. • The farmer and the merchant, the banker and the manufacturer, striving after wealth, make themselves useful to other men. They either facilitate the production of commodities which others desire, or actually produce them, and their exertions lay the foundation for an ever increasing sum of food, clothing, and enjoyment. But the begging cr extorting scheme of the parsons and their friends begins and ends in taking away wealth f ro m others , and putting it into their own pockets. We know they assert that they bestow instruction, &c., which is of more than equivalent value, but they assume to be the exclusive judges of their own wares, and the very fact that men will not voluntarily buy them, is an all-suflicient proof that in the fair market of competition they are already regarded as valueless. If endowment stifles, perennial begging and perennial extortion must end in starving the sys tem. If endowment will not keep it in health, and there can be no hope cf keeping up a factitious enthu siasin to fill a he box box every year, it is foolish to vex the public this year by endeavours which next year, or in the long run, must be abortive. iThe second Annual Report of the Registrar- General, made to the Marquis of NORMANBY in June this year, and recently publi s h e d, con t a i n s some facts and statements that are worthy of being noticed. the Theum b R rs eg registered, trar-Gne inr al ' in his R e p or t, statesthe y ear en di ng ise n June 30, 1839, to have been—of birth s 480,540, of deaths 331,007, and of marriages 121,083 ; being, as com pared to the numbers for th e pre ceding year, an increase of births of 80,828, al decrease of deaths of 4,949, and an increase of i marriages of 9,602. The increase in the num- l't ber of registered births he ascribes to the in creasing success of the system, which has made the registration of births approach much nearer to a complete record of the whole number born than was afforded by the registers of baptisms. At the same time, the decrease in the number of registered deaths, compared with that of the pre ceding year, is not owing to imperfect registration, but to diminished mortality. This is a favourable testimony to the year ending June 1839. But Mr. F 9 RE, in his excellent letter to the Registrar-Ge neral, published as an appendix to the Report, states that " the rate of mortality in IS3B was higher than in the latter half of the year 1837, whence we must infer that the year 1838 was an unfavourable year. Of course, when the epidemics, such as the small-pox and typhus, which prevailed in 1838, had done their work of moving the weakest out of the way, there was comparatively fewer to :be r,moved in the next year, and hence • 'de favourable notice which the Registrar-General could take of the year 1839. Same discussion has recently taken place on the much greater mortality in towns than in the tural districts, and surprise wias felt and expressed at the statement, particularly as it was well known that, on the whole, the rate of mortality in the country is much less than formerly, while the chief increase of the people has consisted of a town population. Mr. FA R R acknowledges the rapid improvement in the health of London during th e l ast two centur i es ; a t the same time he repeats in the present report, and confirms the former statement, that the rate of' mor tality in cities is much, higher than in a rural population. It is found by a careful registration of deaths among a city population, calculated at 3,726,221, and amongst a rural population, calcu lated at 3,539,908, that there died of the forrner 101,019, and of the latter 70,410. The mean duration of life, says Mr. FA RR, in the two sets of circumstances, would differ nearly in the ratio of 37 years and 50 years. But the Registrar-General tells us that it is impossible to do more than approximate to a solution of the important question, what is the proportion of mortality to the ; population ?. In fact the town and rural population are calculated from the population returns made in 1821 and in 1831, and the rates of increase between those periods. The registration of deaths is a cer tain fact. The numbers of the town and rural population are only supposed or calculated, and the actual numbers may differ widely more or less from the numbers set clown. We shall have, therefore, a much better guide to determine this relative mor tality in town and country, after the census for the present year, than we now possess. Our own im pression is that it will not be found so unfavourable to towns as the calculation makes it out. It has been sufficiently proved that this increased mortality is less the consequence of a mere congre gation of people, than of their being huddled toge ther in a small space—the result of the high value given to land and of their poverty. In the eastern districts of the metropolis the mean duration of life is from 25 to 30 years, while in the western and northern it is from 40 to 50 years, the difference being the result of the poverty or wealth of the dif ferent classes who dwell adjoining each other. To give an additional value to land, and thus to compel people to crowd together, •is one -object of the Corn-laws. With the whole world open to us, there is no other reason why land_ should be so excessively dear here ; but our crazy Legislature and all classes may be induced to unite to obtain a repeal of the Corn.laws . by Mr. FARR'S remark, " that the middle classes are ,exposed to the epide mics generated attiongs:he.ii:p?oi*nei'gltbetttsf 7 l ~: by want of rooin a nd want 9"rair. ' :.„;-;::;1.,,,2 The Registrar-General in his -, Report, draws some deductions as to the education of the people - from the persons who write their name or make their masks, on being married, which will be useful. " It appears that in 15 English Counties, and in North and South Wales, more than 40 per cent, of the men were unable to write their names, and in 19 English I counties, more than half the women are similarly I deficient." Out of 121,083 couples, married be tween June, 1838, and June, 1839, there were 44,587 men and 58,959 women who could not write." The metropolis, according to this return, is much superior as to education to any other part proporti ons i n i t o f men an d of the kingdom—the women who cannot write, when married, being only 12 and 24 per cent. The north of England foi -1 lows the metropolis, and Lancashire, Bedfordshire, Monmouthshire, and Wal's, are the more deficient. It is curious to notice, too, that early mar riages are fewer in the metropolis and the northern districts, where the people are educated, than in Hertford, Bedford, Cambridge, &c., where they are less instructed. At the same time, it will not be denied, we believe, that in the rural districts the people have more clergymen in proportion to their numbers than in the me tropolie, and yet they are not so well edu cated. The Londoners are described by their own Bishop as sunk in heathenism, but they are better educated than those who are considered by the Church to be its own peculiar children. Our impression is, that throughout the kingdom of Hanover and Prussia not five persons per cent., who arc married, are unable to write, and the im mense number who cannot write, when married, in England, while we possess a Church that costs, in proportion to the population, ten-fold at least as much as the Church in the north of Germany, is a disgrace to the well-paid priesthood of England. inst. amdvo inc y terso t i l s l ,fe e i eos a mt r rivaleiantmislueerrrapetfcortFal from insurrection h o Lisbon, i taj o em u s t eong n S capital t the ec a t t hr u aoo rda vfoepts y of the 21st i the received the ve north had been completely suppressed.

There is nothing which so exalts the glory of a nation as good faith, and very few things which sink a State so low as the absence of it. The following is the text of the law for defraying British claims, which passed the Cortes on t he 15th instant, und er var i ous protes t s on the part of un scrupulous Deputi es : ,‘ Art. 1. The GovernmeNt is authorised to pay the quantity of $1,325,150 839 reis, or the sum which, according to the rate of exchange, may correspond to 309,201/. 17s. 3d., the amount of the claims presented on the part of the British Government, according to the agreement as seen by the table A. annexed to the present law. " Art. 2. The means necessary to realise this pay ment shall be comprehended in the budgets for the economical years 1840-41, 1841.42, and 1842-43, in conformity with the division thown by the table B." A second law for defraying the whole of the Forei , n debt in instalments to be derived from certain taxes, was subsequently passed. It was supposed that the budget would be voted in a lump, to allow an early dissolution of the Chambers. 'The Court was in hourly expectation of the ap pearance of another branch from the Royal stem of BRAGANZA. The capital was tranquil. One French vessel of war, the Espoir, remained in the Taps. Madrid Journals of the 19th inst. have reached us. They confirm the account communicvcd by telegraph of the appointment, by the REGENT, of ESPA RTERO to the Presidency of the Council. The following copies of the Royal decree, and the proclamation of the Junta of Madrid, are from a supplement to the Madrid Gazette of the 19th instant ROYAL DECREE. " Her Majesty the Queen Regent, having resolved to estahlish puce and tranquillity, and to omit no means whatever of satisfying the wishes of the people, and confiding in the loyalty and ratriotism of the Duke de la Victoria, has been pleased to name him President of the Council of Ministers, without a portfolio, that he may continue at at present at the bead of the army. It is also her M2jesty's wish that the Duke de la lic toria should name the Ministers who are to form the new Cabinet, and that he will propose their names with all possible despatch, in order that the Royal decres fir their appointment may be immediately issued. " JAVIER iiSPIROZ." The decree is published with the following remarks of the Junta of INIAti;I:— The Juata having just received several copies of the official bulletin of 'Valencia, conveyed by a courier on Isis return to Madrid, h-sten to lay their contents before the pub:ic with tht following: remarks : " Tbe appointment of the; pacificator of Spain, the Duke 4 1 .0 la Victoria, with full powers to take those measures required for the felicity of the Spanish nation, cannot otherwise than inspire the deepest confidence in the minds of the members of this Junta, certain that they shall see fully satisfied the wishes of the people so so lemnly manifested. In the meantime, however, and until the hero of Luchana makes himself acquainted with those wishes thoroughly, this Junta, as the inter preter of the national will, and to indicate the exigences of the day, give the following explanation of their pro gramme:— " 1. That her Majesty issue a manifesto, reprobative of the conduct of the traitors by whom she has been de ceived, and the peace of the country put in jeopardy. "2. That she separate for ever from her side all the high functiunaries of the palace and other persons who have advised her to the system of reaction hitherto pursued. "3. That the new municipal law be annulled. "4. That the present Cortes be dissolved, and a new one assembled, with special powers to secure in a soli.' ::::anner all the consequences of the present glorious revolution. "5. That they shall not lay down their arms until they see all tlwsn conditions fulfilled." Five per Cents. to-day, 25 13-16 for cash. Important advices from Alexandria, of the 7th instant, and from Constantinople of the same date, have just have been received. On the morning of the sth inst., the second ten days having expired, the Consuls of the Four Powers waited on the PACHA at his Palace, but his HIGHNESS refused to see them on account of indisposition. They were, however, received by his Prime Minister, BOGHOS BEY, and his Private Secretary, SAMI BEY, who told them that the VICEROY had no other communication to make to them than what he had made on the 2&h of August—namely, zhat he would accept the Paellalies of Syria and Acre for life, and deliver up to the SULTAN Can dia„ Adana, the Holy Cities, and the fleet ; and fOrthermore, that he had forwarded to Constanti *Ple ‘a . respectful memorial to-the SULTAN, by Couuo*.A.LiiKr; praying that these terms' might he accepted by his Imperial Master. The Minis ters of the VICEROY added, that his HIGHNESS had nothing to do with the Four Poweis, and wou!d yield nothing to them ; but that, in the event of hostilities, all foreigners remaining in Alexandria and other parts of his dominions, might depend upon enjoying his protection. The Consuls withdrew, Col. HODGES, the British Consul-Gene ral, having signified that on the following day he would strike his flag and go on board the Cyclops. The other Consuls were likewise ready to take down their flags, and it was reported that they would all have quitted Alexandria, with the exception of the French Consul, on the Bth instant at the latest. Admiral STOPFORD landed at Alexandria - on the 31st ult., where he remained till the four Con suls had received the final answer of the PACHA. MEMEMET ALI received him most graciously, and invited him to dine with him, but his High ness was obliged to countermand the invitation in consequence of Iris sufferings from Nile-boils—a distemper common to persons of every rank at cer tain seasons in Egypt. On being applied to by British merchants for instructions as to how they should act, Admiral STOFFORD frankly admitted that he was without any orders on the subject, and confined himself to repeating the warnings of Co lonel HODGES. When the final answer of the VicEnoY was given, the Admiral sailed for Bey lout with the Princess Charlotte and the Bellero phon to j(-1 the squadron of Commodore NAPIER, lea:•ing the Asia and Implacable to protect British interests at Alexandria. It was understood that the Papin steamer, which carried Count WALEWSKI to Constantinople, brought despatches from the French Government to M. DE PONTOIS, the French Ambassador, in structing his Excellency to support the petition of MEMEMET ALI with all his influence. It is likewise stated that this mediation on the part of France was formally demanded by the VICEROY, who affected not to conceal from the French Con sul that his present embarrassment arose from lis tening to the suggestions of the French Cabinet. The accounts from Constantinople represent the Porte as greatly elated by the progress of events. The refusal of the PACHA to accept the first ulti matum of the Four Powers delighted the Divan, the members of which are eager to see him stripped of all his dominions. Oa the 3d inst. a Grand Council was held at the house of the SCHEI K-AL-IS LA M, in consequence of the information of MEHEMET AL I'S first refusal to accede to the condition:, of the Cul, ference of London, and MEHEMET ALI was de clared therein to be dispossessed of his Government of Syria, and the following appointments were con sequently made : " His Excellency Izzet Mehemet Paella, Tehanak Kalessi Mouhafizi, Governor of the Dardanelles, is ap pointed Akkia Vah,ssi, Governor of St. Jean d'Acre, and replaced at the Dardanelles by 162 Excellency Ibrahim Paella, with the title of Miri Liva, General of Brigade. " - His Excellency Hadgi Ali Paella, Konia Mus chiri, Governor of Konieh, is appointed Scharr Valessi, Governor of Syria—that is to say, of Damascus and Tripoli—and replaced by l.is Excellency Eyouls PaO)a. " His Excellency Essad Paella, Sivas Muschiri, Go vernor of Sias, is named Haieb Muschiri, Governor of Aleppo. F 1 is replaced by his Excellency Hurndi Pacha, who latterly fulfilled the office of Ferik of the Di arbskir. " His Excellency Izvt Pacha, Ferlk of Brousse, is appointed Adana Illouhafizi, Governor of Adana and `('arsons, and replaced at Brousse by his Excellency Sheriff Paella. " His E xce ll ency M ousta f a P ac h a , G u i r it Moulia fizi, Governor of Candia, is confirmed in his office. " His E xce ll ency Ali Riga Pacha, Muschir of Bag dad, is likewise confirmed in his office, and to his Go vernment is also added that of the district of Djide." The ,felva which declares MEHEMET ALI to he deprived of his rights to the Government of Syria, and authorises war against him, has been given by SCIEIK-AL-ISLAM, and read in all the mosques. The reading of that document, in which are given in detail the reasons which have induced his - Highness to have recourse to such extreme measures with respect, to the Viceroy of EGYPT, has produced everywhere the greatest sensation. The Austrian Internuncio had a meeting at his residence of some of thq principal merchants of his nation, in order to prevail upon them, under ex isting circumstances, to suspend their shipments for Egypt and Syria. It is stated that his Excellency IzZET PACIIA, who is appointed to the Government of Saint Jcaz d'Acre, is to leave very shortly for Syria, on board one of the steamers of the Danube Company. Count WALEWSKI only arrived at Constanti nople on the 7th inst—the date of these advices:. The news from the Syrian coast is highly interest ing, and will be found in another part of The Sun. The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday are principally occupied with the Eastern question, and the military preparations to which its various com binations is giving rise in France, Russia, Turkey, and Egypt. This is the day fixed for the trial of Prince Louis NAPOLEON and his accomplices. On Friday the nineteen prisoners were permitted to see each other for the first time. The interview was said to be very affecting. Even the spectators were moved to tears, as the PRINCE embraced his companions in folly and misfortune. Our commercial readers will find in another column a Royal decree for reducing the Customs duties, which will be read with lively interest. At this mcment peace depends on the English Ca binet. The motive which occasions the meeting of the Council of Ministers at London to-morrow, is not cal culated to make us easy. Lord Palmerston has con voked it, in order to get himself authorised to send the Russian fleet to the Mediterranean. He knows that the Parliament will not grant him money to make war on Mehemet AN, and he desires to make use of the forces of Russia ; this is playing a game dangerous to England and to Europe. We shall see whether Lord Melbourne will suar himself to be taken in the snare. At nil events, the French Government is forewarned. P.S.—We arc assured this evening that Lord Pal merston w.ll not venture to propose to the Council to send for the Russian fleet, and that it is not he who has caused the summoning of the Council of Ministers, which is not to meet till Monday.—Courrier Francais. We find the following notice in the Counier of the Lower Rhine, 'printed at Strasburg, of the date of September 23 : " Private letters received to-day announce, as we arc ;assured, that the German Government have just prohibited the exportation of horses."

We believe it to be one of the great recognised prin ciplesof M,lsocry to defend a brother when calumniated. Alderman Harmer is now sal:—public opinion has eLcted everything. If it had not, the high honour of the Aldermen it was intended to bring forward as his opponents has inLeed them indignantly to refuse to be tne cat's paws of merely personal squabbles. Honour, we say, to Aldermen Thomas Johnson and Pirie. Long before these gentlemen knew that public opinion so ex pressed itself as it Cid on Friday night, they, bad de clared their intention not to stand against Alderman Hornier. This is as it should be. The Aldermen know, from their colleague's former conduct, that there is no reason whatever to imagine that, as Lord Mayor, he will act differently to the way be has acted hitherto. No party influences have previously operated upon him to prevent his being a good Alderman and a good Sheriff and Magistrate, and they cannot imagine that anything in the Weekly Dispatch can affect him after wards more than such a newspaper can have done pre viously. It is also discovered that many of those who have opposed Alderman Harmer, have nothing to do with the election, while there is an equal number of the leading Conservatives come forward in his favour to that of the Advertiser. REVIVAL OF THE TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS. —WC learn, with astonishment, that the present Pro vost of Edinburgh, Sir James Forrest, and some other pretended liberals, are determined to oppose Mr. Adam Black as candidate for the office of Chief Magistrate, on the ground that he is a Dissenter.

She brings important intelligence from Mexico, stating that the revolution there was at an end. It broke out on . the 15th, and there was more or less fighting be tween the contending parties till the 26th. On the 23(1, at the solicitation of the Archbishop, a compromise was made by the insurgents (under General Urrea) and commissioners were appointed on both sides to con fer, but they were unable to r.gree. Fighting, there fore, was resumed tiil the 26th ; on the evening of that day the Archbishop waited on the President Busta mcnte, and entreated him to stop the further effusion of blood, by granting the insurgents suitable gnarantees for their safety. At eleven o'clock the same night a convention was signed by the Commissioners of the con tending parties. The insurgents were pardoned, and allowed to depart with all the honours of war. • TEXAS.—An extract from the Cannier of Galveston, of the 12th of August announces that they had re ceived an account from Matagorda, dated the 9th inst., stating that a corps of 2,500 Mexican and Cherokee Indians had invaded Texas and burned the small towes of Vittoria, Dimmits,', and Lu - .evi:le.
