PROTESTANT SOCIETY for the PRO TECTION of RELIGIOUS LIBERTY. At a SPECIAL MEETING of the COMMITTEE, held at the King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry, London, on Mon day, October 26, 1840, JOHN WILKS in the Chair, AMERICAN PAPERS For several days before the Convention was held, hundreds upon hundreds of the highly respectable and intelligent farmers of Virginia began to pour into Richmond. By Saturday night last, every hotel and public boarding-house was filled to overflowing ; and the citizens, almost en masse, threw open their private dwellings, and gave up their own beds to strangers, whilst themselves and their relatives slept uron the floor. And on Monday, many persons sent in word to the Committee of arrangements to say how many more they could accommodate gratuitously at their residences. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS, NEW NOVEL. On the Fifth of November, in Three Vols., Post Bvo. IR IS H L IF E IL in the CASTLE, the COURTS, and the COUNTRY. ELECTION OF PRESIDENT. (From the Courier and Enquirer, Oct. 9.) HARRISON AT HOUE.—There was an immense rally of the Whigs of Hamilton County on the Ist of Octc• her—five and twenty thousand strong—assembling in council, to deliberate over the affairs of the country, and the election of a Chief Magistrate. The day was magnificent. Mori than three thousand flags, bearing the stars and stripes, were floating over the beautiful city of Cincinnati. The view from any part, (says the eineinnatti Gazette,) of flag,. banner, pennant and streamer ; of thousands of human beings, animated with one spirit and moved by one impulse, thronging every thoroughfare, and flowing in all directions like the dis turbed current of some mighty stream—was rich, grand, imposing, beyond anything we had ever before seen. But taken from the heights to the north and north east, where we contemplated it at mid-day, and again an hour before sun down, it was wonderful—inde scribable—heyondiany language of which we arc pos sessed. The silve r line Of the winding Ohio far on the right—the lovely valley of the Licking in front—the highlands beyond New Port and those bounding Cin cinnati on the left —and in the interval, the spreading city, with Tall spire, end glittering roof. and battlement, - And banners floating in the sunny air." and the seething mass of mortal life and human passions beneath,—are things to be seen, felt, lived, but not to be described.

It was unanimously resolved, — That the members of this Society, founded twenty-nine years ago, under the sanction of the late Right Honourable Lord Holland, who preside.) at three of their public annual meetings, and who ever afforded them his advice and support, have learnt the death of that Illustrious Nobleman witb very peculiar regret. That fr"quent intercourse and careful observation taught them to esteem the frank and generous kindness of his heart —to admire his constitutional knowledge and his talents—to ap preciate highly his firm and enlightened zeal for peace, educa t►on, and reform, and to ascertain his sympathies and cordial friendship for Protestant Dissenters, and his manly and un alterable desire to uphold "just and absolute liberty of opinion in politics and religion" in every portion of the empire, and throughout the world; and that, whilst this Committee con dole with his afflicted v. idow, Lady Holland, and all his family, on a bereavement so much to be deplored, they would express a hope that his late ciAleagues, and many in his exalted rank, will imitate an example so justly extolled, and will become cham pions of that civil and religious freedom, and of those rights of conseience, which he ably, energetically, consistently, and triumphantly maintained. This, however, was perfectly characteristic of all Virginians ; and we do not mean to be invidious when we say, that one of the most distinguished for hos pitality and kindness, where all were distinguished, was Dr. Warner, formerly Professor of Surgery, &c., in the University of Virginia ; 'Mr. Daniels, the Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, and one or two others.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tions, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the c: dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation et a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in consequence of souse disease, which for want of a careful investigation of its real cause, has been set down to the score of consumption, will, on perusing this work be astonished to find that in nine tenths of the cases of young persons of both sexes, who perish o f w h a t is called pulmonary consumption, heart disease, tabes, &e., the sole and exclusive origin has been the indulgence in certain destructive habits, practised by youth much more fre quently than is at all suspected. The PRECEPTOR, also, who holds temporarily. at least the relation and responsibility of a parent, will, by perusing this work, be directed, and very much assisted in investigating and detecting the too often concealed practice , so often introduced into schools, whereby the health and ultimately the lives of his Pupils are sure to be compromised, unless the evil be checked In proper time. He will here find a clue to guide him through the intricate mazes of this moral labyrinth. and a standard w h ere by to judge, when doliuney of health should appear to aetk may a his young charges, what the real cause of such attack a 44 Ono he will be enabled to check the evil in t t c a ny be, its incipient state. The CLERGYMAN, in whose sacred character, is at once concentrated the twofold relation of parent and instructor, will here be directed as to the nature of those habits, to which youth is addicted ; he will also lie enabled to point out the disastrous consequences which are sure to follow front them, if nut relinquished.

One banner: bat stretched entirely across the street, was covereeivith figures illustrating in a pointed manner recent incidents in our history. The first re presented Swartwout with a bag of the people's money on his back, making hasty strides out of the country, and exclaiming as he went, " I leave this people pros perous and happy." The second represented another eloping Sub-Treasurer, with a bag, singing out at the top of his voice, " I follow in the footsteps." The third figure was the heaven-born Amos, seated astride the " Globe," with the " Extra" in his hand, grit ting his teeth, at its new motto, " Our Main chance is over." Behind him was the Vice-Presi dent, holding on to his coat-tail, and exclaiming furiously " I told Martin we'd be hard run." In the rear of this dignitary was the President himself, in most awful plight, fearing every moment the the would be crushed by an ominous Ball, which came roll ing towards him, showing that it was made up of well united sections by the inscriptions it bore of " Virginia," " North Carolina," " Louisiana," " In diana," " Kentucky," " Vermont," and " Maine," all clustering about the people's candidates. " Stop that hail, Benton," exclaims Matty in a tone of despair, to a wo-begone figure behind it, who is endeavouring to stay it with a rope whinl he has succeeded in throwing over it. " Stop that ball, Benton." " I can't, Martin," shouts hack the man Friday, and the ball rolls on. Just here Mr. Editor Blair appears, flat upon his back, throttled by a Cuba blood-hound, while a voice whis pers tauntingly in his ear, " No pressure of which any honest man need complain." After this, and towards the close of this pregnant history, a chop-fallen Fox, with a well-known countenance, is seen creeping out of the little end of a born, which is labelled " At last." In the distance, General Harrison and Commodore Ferry are seen. The latter, after calmly surveying the route, oxelaitru, " We have met the enemy, and they are ours !" During the organization of the procession, which occupied from eight to ten o'clock, the city pre sented a scene of excitement and enthusiasm that was never b e f ore witnessed in its streets. Dele gations were present from every county in the State, and from all the neighbouring States. The Convention was called to order by Samuel W. D.svies, Mayor of Cincinnati, who acted as Pry si dent of the day. Its proceedings were opened by prayer, offered by the Rev. Dr. Beecher. Resolutions were then adopted, responding- to the Bunker Hill declaration of the 10th September, adopting its senti ments, and recommending it as a document containing. the true republican creed of our fathers, exhibiting the fatal errors of the Van Buren administration, and the results to which they must inevitably leld, unless a Radical change of men and measures be speedily effected. Robert Wickliffe, Esquire, of Lexington, [Ky.] was introduced to the convention by Colonel Davis, and addressed it at considerable length with much effect. He was followed by General Harrison, who was even more than usually felicitous, in' a style of eloquence in which he is unsurpassed by any of our orators. His remarks were received with repeated and long continued shouts. In the course of his speech, Gene ral Harrison alluded to the opinions that had been falsely attributed to him in regard to the naturaliza tion laws. He pronounced, in the most emphatic manner, that the charge against him, of opposition to the interests of foreigners, who sought an asylum in this country from tne oppressions of foreign despots, was an unmitigated falsehood. He referred to his whole course in the councils of the nation for a proof of the sympathy which he had always entertained for the people of other climes invited by the Constitution and laws to conic among us and partake of our political rights. It was, to stand by the Constitution, a tionf,l says the General, favourite principle a p t rin ci e l i a p r l t e er wi o th him our liberties made no distinction between naturalised and native-born citizens. Admitted to the rights of citizen ship, every man, no matter whence he came, was equal enth l otih r pefs i err g tiwei h nisshee t tt sioo, whole el sdepa, i:r i bdfe l yu o st elysh i : l a i r himself frothchspeoci ring l eifennori principle isat i ear c ps o i uon u rbn l el d itpcaioi s l erla countriestlyoei crdce t 01: occasions.

(Here the General showed a handsome cross of Alderwood, tipped and secured by silver.) This is made or the Alder wood from the mount near Warsaw, the scene of three desperate battles in the last Polish revolution. It is a precious wood, for after the last contest, the Russians ordered the hill to be stript of its Alder growth, that not a relic might be left of that desperate fight. This wood, fellow-citizens, Was bathed in the best blood of the brave Poles, who sold their lives for their country. It is a memento which I shall ever cherish. It proves On Monday morning, the farmers and landholders of Virginia came into Richmond by thousands from every district, with beautiful new silk banners, bordered with gold fringe and tassels, and emblazoned with appropriate devices, which we have described elsewhere. The se veral delegations from the various parts of Virginia and the Union, drew up in regular order in the several streets branching out from Main-street. About nine o'clock they entered Main-street by detachments, in fine style, with a dozen binds of music playing, and a hun dred flags flying, among which were the flag nailed by Decatur to the mast in the action with the Intrepid. and Paul Jones's flag in the action with the Serapis, and the flag used at the battle of the Thames. At this time Main-street presented a splendid sight. The shops were all closed, and no other business was atteneei to but that of the Convention. Every window in every respectable house was filled with lovely female faces, and hundreds and hundreds of handsome white female children, elegantly dressed, were parading the streets. Enthusiasm and pleasure sat upon every set of features. The ladies waved white handkerchiefs, the meal hurraed, the boys threw up their caps, and old and young partook of the general joy. Thore were loun gers, and farmers, and doctors, and mechanics, and young men, and old men, and young women, and old women, and boys, and girls, and revolutionary soldiers, and modern soldiers, and all sorts and sizes, and all seemed happy. We verily believe that in the procession, as it passed down Main -street, consisting of 87 different delega tions, each with a banner, there were a total of 8,000 persons. Tice Marshal of the day brought the mighty procession into the square before the capitol in beautiful order, and ranged their banners and all in front of the portico. On each side, right and left, were two large stagings, with scats for 1,200 ladies, which were filled with the most lovely women we ever saw. The portico platform was full of the officers of the day, and ladies who had worked for the Convention ; and it was a sight worth 'Mb , * for, to look from that portico upon the sea of heads and intelligent, beautiful faces in front of it, the town of Richmond behind and around them, and the glorious view up and down beyond James River, for a hundred miles in every direction. Refreshments of the choicest kind were spread out on tables all round the capitol. The houses of many citizens displayed white flags, with the word " welcome" on them, and whoever chose to do so, walked in and helped themselves plentifully. In short, the people thought they could not do enough for the strangers who came there. Mr. Webster spoke about two and a half hours in the morning, and the meeting adjourned. He also spoke in the evening for a few minutes. Mr. Rives spoke the next day, and Mr. Webster the same night, at the Log Cabin, and this closed the Convention. It was never surpassed in Virginia, and will never be forgotten by any of the 15,000 persons who formed part of it. (From the Journal of Commerce, Oct. 10.) STATE OF ALABAMA. No member of the Union has fulfilled her engage ments with greater punctuality than the State of Ala bama. The only debt she owes, is that invested in the capital stock of her banks. The first half million of her bonds became due in London the present year, and although the State reserved its right to extend the period of their redemption, the whole sum due was anticipated and paid by the Banks for which it was Issued. The interest upon another portion of the debt, pay able at New York and New Orleans in November and December, is already provided. A part of that due in London in January next, has gone forward, and • the Great Western carries with her to-day, remittances to cover the residue. Indeed all the payments of the State prior to April 1841, are thus anticipated. The Legislature of Alabama, at its 12,st Session, passed an Act recalling the whole of the State Bonds issued and still unsold. These have all been accordingly re turned and cancelled, thus leaving the State debt $10,860,000. The Governor also in his last Message to the Legislature recommended the establishment of sinking fund for the gradual extinguishment of this debt, and this judicious measure will, in all probability, Le adopted the ensuing Session. With an annual export of cotton, worth, at its pre sent low price, twenty million dollars ; with a very trifling amount of imports during the past and present year ; and with a faithful and economical policy in the management of her finances, the State of Alabama ought to rank amongst the highest in credit, as she is in her resources. to me that I have n o t v i o l a t e d by my votes, my princi ples and feelings in favour of the generous Pole, and I can put my hand to my heart and say, that my republican sympathy for the people of Germany, Ireland, England, or any other land, has been and is warmed into tetive existence by the remembrance that liberty i s equally dear to all of us, and that it is our greatest boast that this is the land to which the persecwed of despotism can always fly with the certainty o f b e i ng received by brethren in freedom.

BROWNE and CARTWRIGHT, Surgeon- Dentists, 21, Fleet-street, beg to call public attention to their new and beautiful EVERLASTING TEETH, the most clean and wholesome that can be worn : they are so exactly formed to nature, both in shape and colour, that the closest observer cannot detect the difference, with this advantage—they never change colour. decay, or wear out ; and a complete set, on fine gold, for which they will only charge 15 to 18 guineas, will last for 20 years or upwards, and are far superior to those usually charged 30 and 40 guineas. A single tooth, one guinea ; three ditto, two guineas and a half. Natural teeth supplied from Si. per set, or lOs. per tooth. Messrs. Browne and Cartwright's method of fitting neither requires the extraction of stumps nor gives the slightest pain ; and having had upwards of 20 years' experience in the profession, can guarantee to restore perfect mastication and articulation, having succeeded in thousands of cases, in hundreds of which other dentists had entirely failed. The above are totally different from the brittle glossy French teeth, usually supplied by dentists as newly-discovered mineral, &c. A visit will convince the most sceptical of the fact. An addition to the science of optics of no com mon interest has been completed by Mr. E. Solo mons, Optician to the Royal Family, No. 1, Old Jewry, City, and No. 36, Old Bond -street, Piccadilly, who has constructed spectacles from a valuable mine ral. This being the only improvement effected in spectacle lenses for the last twenty years, all persons afflicted with defective sight will hail this new invention with satisfactior. They surpass all others in modern use, being of less specific gravity than glass or pebbles—are not sullied by the aqueous exhalations of the eyes—convey a delightful coolness to the organs of vision when engaged at any minute employment, either by day or candle-light ; in fact, more beneficial results will be realised from their adoption, than can be imagined by those accustomed to use the common spectacles. Mr. E. S.'s Voice Conduc tors for deaf persons, measure only one quarter of an inch in diameter, and have proved wonderfully successful in the most extreme cases of deafness. When placed in the ears, they are not the least perceptible. Musical sounds, and the voice of a distant speaker in church, theatre, or public assembly, vibrate on the organs of hearing in such a plea sant manner, as to afford immediate relief to all persons labouring under the distressing ailment of deafness. The decease of Lord Holland has occasioned con siderable agitation, both at the clubs and in the political circles. This wealthy nobleman not only possessed great influence in private, but the patronage of the Chaneeller ship of the Duchy of Lancaster is an extensive. that few are aware of its importance. Lord Granville is spoken of as the fortunate successor in this sinecure, but influential situation. Had the deceased Lord have paid a little at tention to the effects of his splendid entertainments upon the bodily system, he might have continued for many years in the enjoyment of health and vigour. The occasional use of Frampton's Pill of Health would have enabled his Lord ship and all lovers of good living to have enjoyed their fa vourite dishes without dread of the results which frequently terminate so fatally.

SURREY SESSIONS. Yesterday the adjourned Quarter Sessions commenced at the Court-house, Newington. The calendar contains the names of forty prisoners for trial for felony, besides eighteen for misdemeanours. SINGULAR CASE OF ASSAULT.—The Court was oc cupied during the morning in the trial of Captain Philip Hap, who was indicted for assauiting Henry Latchford, a policeman of the L division, in the execution of his duty. Henry Latchford deposed that he is a policeman of the L division, and that between four and five o'clock on the morning of the 31st of July he was on duty near the Marsh-gate, in the Westminster-road. 'rho defen. dant had some gin, which he and a cabman drank in the street, and as complainant was in the act of walking away, the defendant, who was on the box of the cab, propelled a dart at him, which stuck in his hat. The CHAIRMAN inquired what the darts were made of?—The policeman produced the one which struck his hat, and said that one end of it was composed chiefly of worsted, and the other end, that which penetrated his hat was like a large needle. It was handed round to the Jury, who examined it, and also two othets of a simi lar description found in the defendant's pocket when he was taken into custody. Although they were small, yet they were exceedingly sharp, and might well be considered of a very dangerous character when pro pelled with any degree of force from the long hollow tube, which was also produced for the inspection of the Jury. The policeman, in continuation, stated that imme diately on the dart being cast at him the cabman and defendant drove off, but they were pursued, and the latter was taken to the station-house. The complainant added that the point of the dart had slightly scratched his head, but the strength of the hat prevented it from doing him any serious injury. Henry Judson, another policeman, confirmed the pro secutor's evidence in all the material points, and in ad dition said that previously to the defendant blowing the dart through the tube at Latchford he pointed out a wound in the thigh of the horse which was drawing the cab, and said that he had put one of the darts in it. In his cross-examination the witness said that he bad seen such an instrument as that used by the defendant be fore, and they were used for aiming at a target, and it was called "puffing the dart." He was confident that such a tube as that now produced would propel a dart twenty-five yards. When the defendant pointed the tube at him he threatened t o knock him down if he discharged one of the darts. Witness took the dart out of the prosecutor's hat, and he observed at the same time that his head bled a little from the point of the instrument striking it. The defendant talked about his skill in the use of the instrument, and said that at a considerable distance he would pin witness's ear to his head with a dart, or that he would put one of them in between any two particula ribs in the aide of the horse drawing the cab. The Chairman said that " puffing the dart" appeared to be an extremely dangerous amusement, and that had one of the sharp-pointed darts struck the prosecutor in the face, instead of on the hat, there was no knowing what injury it might have inflicted ; for instance, it might have pierced his eye. The Ju y fu d 'he prisoner Guilty of propelling a dart at a policeman, but not maliciously. The Clerk of the Court—Your verdict is Guilty. The Chairman said the Jury had very properly found a verdict of guilty against the defendant ; and, in order to repress such dangerous acts in future, the sentence of the Court was, that he pay a fine of 101. to the Queen, and to be imprisoned until the fine be paid. The defendant not being provided with the means of paying the fine, he was taken into custody by the officer of the Court, and locked up in the County gaol. -- ----- BRIGHTON OCT. 26.—The great topic of conversation here is the sentence of the Court-martial on Captain R. A. Reynolds, which is admitted on all bands —even by the msst violent Tories—to be too severe. Old military officers, who have retired or are on half-pay, re gaard the whole proceedings as an insult on the army, and ale not backward in avowing their opini9ns. Captain Reynolds has been the objebt of general sympathy. He NI as serenaded the night previous to his leaving for Lon eon, whence we understand he will proceed to the seat of L Lis family at St. Notts. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) We continue to receive numerous communications on the subject of the late court-martial. If in every part of the empire the feeling is very strong against the Horse Gua..ds, the addition to the sentence ag,ainst Captain Reynolds by tile court-martial is viewed with perfect abhorrence. The public are not vet, we suspect, in a cotidit.ion to with rstand all the bearings of this case. Much private information, throwing a curious light on motives, h,s been communicated to us, which it would not be prudent to pubtish. At the military clubs very significant anecdotes were told of some of the officers on the court-martial, when the list of the names was first published. Some surprise was expressed by those not acquainted with General Sleigh, that he should have acted with so littie delicacy in the case between Lord Cardigan and the younger Captain Reynolds ; this same General Sleigh having in India been himself guilty of misconduct, for which he was severely reproved by the Horse Guards. But there is a " why for every wherefore." A correspondent has this day, in a communication headed " Cardigan and Sleigh," supplied us with a reference to a case in " James on Court-martials," p. 751, from which it appears that General Sleigh, when in command of the 11th Hussars, was in precisely the same predicament as the Earl of Cardigan. Lieutenant W. was prosecuted by Colonel Sleigh, and sentenced to be cashiered. But the Duke of York mitigated the sentence to half-pay. This is only one of the many instances which prove how much more just, considerate, and gentlemanly was the conduct of the Duke of York, as Commander-in-Chief, than that of Lord Hill. We do not believe there is a single case on record of partiality or unfairness chargeable against the Duke of York, whatever the rank of the re spective parties. Ilis Royal Higliness was utterly in capable of acting as Lord Hill has done in the cases which have lately engaged the public attention. The Duke of York contributed most materially to raise the character of the British aemy ; the conduct of Lord Hill, on the other hand, seems calculated to impair its efficiency. (From the Times.) The first act of the great political drama, which be gan on the 15th of July, may now be slid to have closed. At this period of the season it is evident that the operations of the Allies in the East will be confined to the occupation (weather permitting) of certain points on the coast of Syria ; whilst the fill of the 'niers Mi nistry in France gives an entire and most important change to the political relations of the principal parties to the question. It has been evident for some weeks-. past, that the Ministers of the Ist of March (if we may adopt the French mode of classing their Administra tions by the calendar) stood in a false and untenable position. On the one hand, they had sought to vie with the most vehement of the Republican party in the warlike declamation which the Mini sterial newspapers were allowed to indu'ge in ; and they were so pledged to their own measures of hasty and enormous military prepa ration, as to be driven to dictate language to the King, which Louis Philippe refused to pronounce at the open ing of the Chambers. On the other hand, their real in tentions were far too pacific for that fierce and foolish portion of the French people whose passions had been rashly and unseasonably kindled. They at last dis covered that the war-cry of the Republican party, in which they had affected to join, was only the " Car magnole" sung to another tune. The folly of foreign war is already tainted nith the horrors of domestic trea son. The King has again been shot at ; the democra tic press is voanitieg forth a torrent of the wildest ele ments of anarchy ; and the Government found itself on the eve of a direct internal collision, in the streets of Paris, with that very , party of mountebanks and ruf fians whose insane clamour has been allowed to exer cise so unaccountable an influence upon the external policy of France. To this inconsistency of position M. 'niers must attribute the dissolution of his Ca binet. Whatever difficulties may await his succes,or, this conflict of rash pledges to popularity and of para mount duty to the Crown will probably form no part of th'm. Tee Ministry, supporting and supported by the King, will have to oppose a consistent and compact resistance to the excesses of those who de mand war beyond the frontiers and revolution within them. At such a crisis, the utmost energy, the most steady principles, and the most upright purposes, can alone support the man who shall undertake this task ; but upon his success depends the existence of the French Monarchy. It may be presumed that M. Guizot, who left London for Paris on Saturday with all possible despatch, upon the arrival of a courier to announce the resignation of M. Thiers, will be entrusted by the King with the formation of the new Cabinet, and pro bably with the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, The au thority of Marshal Sault over the army was never more needed ; and we may hazard a conjecture that the Duke de Broglie will lend something more than an indirect support to the Cabinet. As far as the affairs of the East, and the difficulties arising out of the Treaty of the I.sth of July are concerned, M. Guizot, having been an eye-witness of what has passed in England, cannot fill into the vulgar French error of distorting and exaggerating the objects of that convention. He will not easily ascribe to the English Government or the English people, notions of aggression or aggrandizement, which we have repudiated an hundred times over. And, if it be still possible to obtain a hearing for the language of truth and sense, an attempt will be made to place the questions at issue between the two countries o❑ their true basis, and to seek for means of peace in stead of grounds of war. But if M. Guizot is pecu liarly fitted to undertake this negotiation in France, he has at the same time peculiar claims to the good-will of this country. If any trumpery personal motives of humiliation or of triumph have been allowed to as sume the aggravated symptoms of national enmity, they are now at an end. At this moment all needless retrospection and recrimination may be laid aside. It is unjust to make every French Minis try bear the burden of all the faults of its predeces sors, against which it has no merits to set off but its own. If England is in reality the mistress of the po licy of the Quadruple Treaty, and not its tool, she is called upon to facilitate, on the part of herself and her allies, whatever arrangements may be most condu cive to peace and a good understanding with France. But if the arrival of a new Administration to power in France allows us to urge the necessity of an amicable adjustment, with sincerity on the part of England and moderation on that of France, we cannot conceal from ourselves that the existence of that Administration, and of the institutions which it would defend, is a matter of frightful uncertainty. The party which rallied round the Throne during the first five years which succeeded the Revolution of 1830 is divided and dispersed. The ill-judged and extreme liberalism of one faction may drive the other to measures of ill-judged and extreme coercion. Unless the moderate parties in the Cham ber unite, as they have before united in the presence of events not more formidable to the State than those which now threaten it, no power can exist in France to set bounds to the fierce spirit of anarchy and insu bordination, which would begin by war to end in revo lution. Upon the speedy formation of the Administra tion, and the success of its first measures, depends, at this moment, the maintenance of the internal tranquil lity, as well as of the external peace, of Europe. (From the Morning Advertiser.) _ _ We have no wish to decry the well-earned fame of Lord Hill as a soldier and officer. Both are graven on the annals of their country, and have been remembered by it with the gratitude which they deserve ; but while we readily award him his weed of praise for gallantry and skid in the field—for careful attention to his duty, and strict execution of the orders of his chief, we c mut but unite with the army under his command and tl e public at large, in pronouncing his conduct as Comman der-in-Chief as deficient in that firmness, impartiality, and lofty disregard of every interest but the interests of justice, which ought to characterise it. Lord Hill was never destined by nature to command ; he was born to obey and to execute the commands of others. Under the command of the immortal Wellington he was a us,- ful officer ; but placed in command himself, he is wholly out of the proper sphere to which he is adapted, and the sooner that he quits the Horse Guards, and return s to a position more fi tted for the p eculiar ea p abi iiti s and i bent of his mind , the better for the interests of hi s repu t a tion, and better fa r f o r t he interests of th e British army. In his conduct in th e late affai r o f Captain Reynolds and Lord Cardigan, he ehas struck a blow at the honou r of his hi g h office, and the con fidence which it oug ht to com mand, whi c h nothing can cure but the subs tituti on in L i s and more efficient commander.lnsilaee of a bolder d.iecis. ion is inde fensible upon every gronnd of justice allows a court-martial to be held up on an policy.

Triis remark, we allow, affixes indelible disgrace to the name of Caedi gan as an officer in command of a regiment ; and if that scrag of the aristocracy had the spirit of the humblest of God's creatures in him—nay, if he were not in his own mind a self-convicted offender, both in the Fesent, as in a former case of equal notoriety—he would at once either resign his command, or insist upon a court-martiel upon his conduct. We doubt, however, whether he lute the spirit to do the only act of reparation within his power, or to dare the trial of a public examination into his conduct. How Prince Albert will relish a decision on the part of Lord Hill, which gives him, as his first le gacy in the Eleventh Hussars, such a colleague as the Earl of Cardigan, remains to be seen ; but, rte confess, we shall be surprised if' the matter of the ccurt-inar tial be allowed to remain where it is now left. A gross injustice has been done to a meritorious officer— a bad example has been exhibited to the army at large —confidence in the Horse Guards' governim nt exists no longer —a spirit of insubordination prevails through every regiment—and if Lord Hill have not the grace to resign an office for which he has shown such g oat incapability and want of nerve, we hope that the coun try will come forward, and with one voice demand his instant and permanent dismissal. (From the Alorhing Post.) We are happy to announce that there is every pro babdity of the French Ministerial crisis being of short duration. We have every reason to believe that the Royal Ordonnences appointing the new Mini,ters have appeared in this morning's lifoniteur (Tuesday). There was every expectation in Paris on Sunday afternoon that the French Chambsrs would meet to-morrow (Wednesday), according to the origival date of Cone vocation, and that the King of the French would open them in person with the customary Royal Speech, M. Guizot was expected in the French capital on Monday. On his arrival it was anticipated that he would immediately accept the Foreign Department, offered to hien and that he would cheerfully respond to the call made on his patriotism, not to leave the Crown without responsible advisers, after it had been so cowardly and shamefully deserted by M. Tillers. Marshal Soult exhibited great activity and firmness. He was resolved to maintain public order rind tranquidey, and, from his well-known decision, the Propagandist agitators, now encouraged by the cx- Minister, would know what they might expect should any attempt be made to get up disturbances in the capital. The Gallant Marshal, we learn, has expressed his confidence that there were no substantial grounds for the alarm so actively disseminated by the parti sans of M. niers. It is to be hoped, tor the sake of France and of Europe generally, that prudent and enlightened counsels may now dictate to pub lic men the necessity of mutual and honourable con cessions, whereby the peace of the world may be pre served, and the march of revolution .successfully arrested i❑ its desolating progress. (From the Morning Herald.) When the mighty genius of ttie late Emperor cf the French introduced those vast changes in the art of war, which may be said to have created the military system anew, it was said by some toot the martial science was A'apo/coniscal. May we not say, with equal point and propriety, if the Noble and Gallant Lieutenant-Colonel of the Elevenili Hassars should much longer be allowed to exercise his peculiar " temper" and "discretion" in the comet Ind of British troops, that the discipline of the army will have been completely Cardiganised? Genius is manifested by origin dity, and can anything more strikingly evince the original aptitude of Lord Cardigan for command, than his mode of improving the strength aid efficiency of the service by the cultivation of habits exceedingly prolific of discord and dissension ? In this there is some slight difference between Cardi gan nod Napoleon. Toe latter dealt in hard blows against the armies opposed to him ; whereat Cardigan deals his upon the army to which he belongs. We know nothing of what his sword has done in the field, but he takes care we shall know a great deal about what his iedaence with the Horse Guards can do out of it. If Napoleon had his victories of Marengo and Austerlitz, has not Cardigan had his triumphs of Canterbury and Brighton ! If the former had his battle of tire Borodino, has not the latter had his battle of the Moselle f We have attempted to drawn paral lel after the manner of Plutarch, and were about to pro ceed lorther by saying that what Wellington was to the one of those great masters in the art military, Wathen was to the other, but there we were stopped by recol lecting that the overthrow which Cardigan received from Captain Wathen was, thanks to Lord Hill, not final like that of Waterloo, and so the traan who was solemnly and judicially declared to have forfeited the command of one regiment, was selected as the best qualified to commaml another. If this does not prove something wrong at the Horse Guards, something that demands being inquired into in Parliament, since no satisfactory inquiry will be allowed out of it, we do not know what does. it is true Lord Cartii,;aa has been reproved by the order of the General Commanding-in-Chief ; but how gently is the breath of official censure blown upon his'scut elleou, compared with the ju:lgment ofpnfessional mination pronounce , ! and executed upon his latest victim, Capt. Rej nold, ! Of what sort of materials was that court m composed that could have adjudged Capt. Rey nolds to be cashiered, without breathing a whisper of reproof against the character of Lord Cardigan. The officers composing that military court, no doubt, were all honourable men, and wished to do justice, according to the best of their ability, between the prosecutor and tire accused ; but we ask again, of what sort of stuff was their intellects composed ? What sort of reason ing faculties did they possess to animadvert as they did upon the evidence to character, without being able apparently, to compr e h en d i ts value, as furnishing ' ground for reprimanding the conduct of the accuser and extenuating the offence of the accused ? We d o not and cannot justif . ij the second letter of Captai n Reynolds, but it should never have been forgotten that that letter was written only because a V er y civil reqtrst by the latter to Lord Cardigan, to ob tain some explanation or contradiction of a state ment exceedingly ant oying to the feelings of a gen tleman, was met with a degree of hauteur only worthy of an eastern despot to an " Indian officer." Such an assertion of authority as took place in this instance is far more injurious to subordination and dis cipline than any frank and gentlemanly explanation could hake been. We do not wonder that the public sympathy is with Capt. Reynolds, and we trust it will be evinced in a manner the most decided and unequivocal. It is impossible, we should think, but the extreme severity of the sercence upon Captain Reynolds must become the subject of Parliamentary investigation, and we think it ought to lead to a complete revision of the system of Courts-martial. The affair of the " black- Cottle" cannot, either, he allowed to remain where it is. 'l'h2 influence at the Horse Guards stifled military in quiry into that matter, but it cannot stiff,', a sense of pulcic indignation, or the expression of public opinion. We conclude these remarks, which a strong desire to see military discipline maintained by means not revolt ing to the feelings of a fr,e people, and justice adminis tered equally to all classes of the Queen's subjects, have drawn from us, by quoting the foilowit g passage from the Globe : 1 antagonist position with public opinion, from which extri " The Horse. Guards have brought themselves into a n cation, without concession to the demands of impartial jus tice, is imposs:ble. The British nation ti justly proud of, and grateful to, the service which has often turned aside the battle from its shores by encountering and eenqu'ring the foe in foreign fields. The entire army of the empire looks up to the nation it has served and s wed, for protee. tion and redress. And it must not appeal in vain. With an unanimity absolutely unexampled in the history of public queitions, the public press —irrespective of the po litical parties by the names of which its journals aro do. s • , nat, d—has uttered its voice with a c l earness and dtei s i„„ w hi c h must b e h ear d and f elt within the secret char; hers f the Commande r . i n . Chi e f , though they be barri caded by the f rec . of secret i n fl uence against the claims of justice. That voice has made the great ones of the earth to trembl.., even when it bpake in accents less clear and forcible than those it now utters ; and before it the puny barriers which arc raised to screen Lord Cardigan from in mu,t. give way, and leave hint to the consequences of conduct . ts hich, as i t i s now locked upon, has excited the disgu s t, and drawn don urea him the condemnation of es ery grade of the British community."
