The numbers at the close of the poll were, HARMER, 2,294 ; JOHN sox, 2,713; PIRIE, 2,741. Mr. HARMER has therefore lost by 419 votes. The whole number polled was not above 5,035, or the half of the Livery. We see much in the contest to regret, but mcist in the issue. Personally, Mr. HARMER has gained much by it. He has been made better known to the Li very, and their respect for him has increased. On the hustings, yesterday, with a proud feeling, which his competitors must envy, and which must make his enemies smart, he could use the fol iating language : Gentlemen, there is an old maxim, which I have found to be strictly true on this occasion, it is, " That prosperity gains friends and adversity tries them."— (Cheers.) Many individuals, who.were profuse in their expressions of regard, and stated how anxious they were to do me any service when those services were not wanted, have upon the present occasion, when their support was required, withdrawn themselves.—(Cries of " Shame.") But if I have been mortified at the con duct of some from whom I certainly had a right to expect something, I have been highly gratified by the zealous sappo-t I have received from others with whom I had but u slight acquaintance.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) It has been a source of the highest satisfaction to me to see some of the old friends with whom I associated in my younger days, and whom I believed to have gone to that " bourne from whence no traveller returns," coming here, and giving me their vote, and shaking me cordially by the hand.—(Cheers.) Many of those friends have been Liverymen of 40 or 50 years' standing.--(Cheers.) To witness the support I have received, notwithstand ing the ealur: , nies that have been heaped upon me, has given me the most heartfelt satisfaction, indeed, many of my friends have come from a considerable distance in the country, at their own expense, in order to vote for me, and thereby defend me from the foul aspersions that have been cast upon me. Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR. (the well-known printer), than whom there does not exist a more intelligent or more conscientious man in the Common Council, bore the following testimony to Mr. HARMER'S character:— No person could look at Alderman Harmer without seeing that he was a good-hearted man. In his own ward he had done the greatest good, and he was one of the most pains-taking Magistrates that ever presided on the Bench.—(Loud cheers.) He was a man also of great private virtue, and his charity, though not brought before the public, was extensive. lithe majority against Alderman Banner had been ten times as great as it was at present, he should have been proud of standing by, for be thought that a more honourable, upright, and con scientious man did not exist.—(Cheers.) Having quoted these passages to satisfy our readers that Mr. HARMER is a worthy man, and has been subjected, for a party purpose, to most harsh and unjust treatment, we must leave the personal part of the question, to explain the prin ciples on which we took up the contest, and sup ported Mr. HARMER to the best of our ability. If it were a mere personal, or party question, we should think that we owed a very humble apology to our distant readers for saying so much on a sub- The trial of Captain REYNOLDS is now over. ject which chiefly concerns our own locality.

The facts are their columns day after day with leaders, letters, and few an d s i mp l e , an d a great ta l en t f o r analysis is not communications, vituperating Mr. HARMER. It req u i re d is true that the aristocratic Whig press has b een to come to a satisfactory conclusion. The first step is, that the Earl of CARDIGAN, silent on the subject. On one day, and one day on bei:ig asked at a private party, in his own house, only, the Morning Chronicle contained a para.

Now t hi s knowledge f facts and an acquaintance with • Considering the arts and the influence which were employed, it is an astonishing thing to have upwards of two thousand Liverymen voting accord ing to our view, for complete freedom of dis cussion. Some of them might only mean to support the principle of rotation, or a personal friend, or an honest man ; but the Tories put the contest on a high religious and political ground, and, according to their view, there must be in the Livery more than 2,000 enemies of the Monarchy and of Christianity. They call themselves Con servatives, and they have, by claiming a despotism over opinion, converted a humble contest for the Civic Chair of the Metropolis, into an enduring strife about the first principles of Government, and the truth of Christianity. Mr. HARMER has been defeated, but the power and circulation of the Dis patch have been promoted. He has been ex cluded from the Civic Chair, but those opinions and principles which the Conservatives call dan gerous, have been spread far and wide through the land. This news, which was communicated to the French Government by telegraph from Madrid, in cludes all that was known in Paris on Monday re lative to Spanish affairs. The tone of the French Journals of Monday, is exceedingly warlike. The tem pest without had found an echo in the Ca. binet, half the members of which were for war, and the other half for peace. The KING headed the peace patty, which, including his MA. JESTY, constituted a majority by a single vote. But. Louts PHILIPPE being something more than an individual in the National Councils, the prepon derance was greatly in favour of the peace side of the balance. M. THIERS had quite gone over to the left or ODI LLON BARROT party, trusting to mob influence to secure the triumph of his policy. M. GUIZOT on the contrary declared for the KING'S side, and advised the convocation of the Chambers, and the appointment of a new Ministry. The contest in France is furious ; but every thing depends on the Chambers. It is a pity that the removal of M. THIERS from office was not resolved upon before the country was in such a ferment as to take the question of peace or war out of the hands of statesmen, to be decided by popular clamour or accident. . Another principle of very considerable public interest, namely, how far the proprietor of a publi cation is to be responsible for, or identified with, the opinions it promulgates, has been brought under discussion by this contest, but we shall post pone cur remarks on that till another opportunity. Christianity were said to be involved in the con test ; the people were told he 'would get no chap lain ; and it was insinuated that during his Mayor alty all communication between the City and the Court would be cut off. When the whole Tory party was thus set in motion, and all their engines brought into operation, our distant readers must be convinced that the contest had something belonging to it which concerned the empire at large. We, at least, believed that it had, and on that account we engaged in it. What was the contest, then, about ? The Tories broadly contended that certain political and reli gious opinions disqualified a man from filling the Civic Chair ; they attributed these opinions falsely to Mr. HARMER; but whether falsely or not they con tended that, entertaining these opinions utterly dis qualified IVIr. H A RMER, and on that ground they ap pealed to the Livery. According to our political creed, if a man pays his taxes, and performs all the duties of a good subject and a good citizen, he has a just claim to all the protection and all the honours of the State, and is not to be excluded from any of them on account of his opinions, be they what they may. In this particular case this argument is very strong, because the office of Lotd Mayor is not a party one ; it has been filled alternately by Whigs, Tories, and Radicals; by Churchmen, Dissenters, Unitarians, and Freethinkers ; and, if ever before, not for many yea's, have any man's political opinions been a ground for exclusion. The conduct of the Tories, therefore, in opposing Mr. HARMER, was not only re-enacting the Test Act, it was extending it to a case to which it had not before been practically applied, and which ought to be resisted. If Mr. HARMER may be objected to by certain highflying Tories and Puseyites, because he is not a lover of the Monarchy, and a believer in Chris tianity—supposing those accusations to be true, whereas they are false—an immense field will be at once opened for an indefinite and vague persecution. Actions are in a manner tangible, or they leave tangible results. They can be weighed and mea sured. Opinions are not tangible. They are evanescent, they are liable to a thousand obscuri ties, from the imperfections of language. The clearest law ever drawn, admits in the Courts of several interpretations ; and opinions, as we see in the case of Mr. HARMER, may be imputed falsely to any man. To elect a man for the Civic Chair, then, on account of his opinions, instead of bestowing that as a reward for his conduct, is to change a plain and palpable test of merit, open to all, for a shadowy fleeting breath, which cannot be easily valued or weighed. This year a man is kept out of the Civic Chair because he does not honour the monarchical prin ciple ; next year it may be because he is a Whig , or because he is a Catholic. This year he is kept out for believing too little, next for believing too much ; now the Tories and the Canters have got the upper hand,—a sudden impulse to the po pular feeling may give it next year to the Chart ists and the Infidels ; and there may be no end to squabbles and contests about opinions which men may not really entertain. Mr. HARMER'S case is in point. He is actually excluded, not on account of his own opinions, but on account of those of other men falsely imputed to him. It must be observed also that we have a certain standard for actions, none for opinions. All men agree in condemning murder and applauding charity ; but every form of Government, including Republi canism, every form of Christianity, and every form of Heathenism, is established or believed in some country or other, without men committing any offence. One man may admire a monarchy, another a republic ; one may believe every word that is con tained in the Testament, another may doubt a great deal ; why should he who admires a monarchy, or he who gulps down the whole Testament be allowed to assume that he is ex clusively right, and to set up his poor thoughts as a national creed ? To allow that, is to authorise a despotism over public opinion. But this is what the Tories and the priests did in respect to Mr. HARMER. They assumed that their opinions I were perfect truth, and that h e was wort h y o f punishment for not agreeing with them. They are, at the same time, equally hypocritical and arrogant. They prove, day after day, by their practices, that they do not, in fact, believe either the Old or the New Testament, for no belief is to be depended on which does not produce actions; but, setting up a Shibboleth of their own, they require men to conform to it. They opposed Mr. HARMER, not because he did not admire monarchy, or believe in Christianity, but because he did not belong to their clique. To establish in favour of the priests and the Tories a despotism over public opinion is, in our estimation, to enthrone error and vice, and therefore we felt it our duty to side with Mr. HARMER. order of the Earl of CARDIGAN was itself a usur pation. He had no right to give any such order, to prevent an &Freer sending private letters to him, but he gave it, and gave it in a rude and brutal manner. Captain REYNOLDS then wrote his second letter to the Noble Earl, which is plainly a breach of military discipline, by no means justified by what the Earl of CARDIGAN had said and done. We hold it to be quite clear, therefore, that Captain REYNOLDS will not be acquitted, though it is beyond our means to conjecture what the sentence will be. But there are two important questions behind. Whence arose all this jealousy and bad feeling be tween the Node Earl and his officers ? If from no other cause, his former disgrace would make him tenacious of discipline, and make them tenacious of being affronted. From that, independently of any bad temper on the part of the Noble Earl, bad feel ings on both sides would arise, and for that the Horse Guards is responsible, because it knowingly re-appointed the Noble Earl after his former dis grace. Why, too, did not Captain REYNOLDS, instead of writing his second letter to the Earl of CARDI• GAN, on being called out of the ranks, and receiv ing an improper order in an insulting manner, ap peal to the Horse Guards ? That, we think, would have been his proper course. But he shrunk from it, as all officers shrink from appealing to it against their superior, because they know that they will not be fairly treated. They have no confidence in the Horse Guards. In this particular case there was sufficient reason for the mistrust. The partiality of the Horse Guards, and its des picable tittle-tattle-loving injustice, had just been exhibited in the case of the other Captain REYNOLDS. The Earl of CARDIGAN by some means, certainly not by his military merit or military service, is all-powerful with the Commander-in-Chief, and Captain REYNOLDS naturally and instinctively shrunk from appealing to him. Hence, having no means of redress, no confidence in the Horse Guards, he took the improper, and, we think, unjustifiable, step of writing the second letter. We trace all the evil to the Horse Guards. There was first the improper re-appointment of Lord CARDIGAN, and next the listening to his back biting complaints. By partiality and injustice the Horse Guards are obviously destroying the disci pline of the army. The Correspondent of the Times at Devonport, whose letter was yesterday published in that journal, stated, that two watchmen, as in old and better times, were sent on board every vessel in the yard. That Correspondent has not shown so much accu racy as to induce us to rely on the statement. If it have been done, we are sure it can be only a tem porary measure adopted by the authority of Admiral WARREN. The removal of the ship-keepers was a well-considered and wise measure, adopted in a season of calm, less for reasons of economy than of security. We cannot believe, therefore, that the Admiralty will, in a moment of terror or panic, and in obedience to the demands of the Tory press, return to the old and imperfect system. We yesterday stated suffi cient reasons for the abolition of the old practice, and have not seen, in the tirades of our Contem poraries one argument for resuming it. If there are to be watchmen on board the ships in dock, they must be on an entirely different foot ing. To appoint two only to each ship, for a whole night, is a positive absurdity. There must be at least ten or a dozen, to admit of two or three keeping watch at a time, at different parts of the ship, and having two or three reliefs in the night. There might be undoubtedly one or two sentinels or watchmen stationed in each ship, but, instead of being kept there the whole night, it would be essen tial that they should be relieved like other sentinels every two hours, and then they may be taken from the military who at present keep guard over the ships, or from a civil wa t c h esta bli s h e d f or t h e pur pose. But the o ld pr act i ce o f p l ac i ng two men on board each ship every evening when the other r workmen go away, and keeping them there till the workmen return in the morning —requiring them to watch, therefore, for fifteen consecutive hours in winter, night after night, according to the old plan which is so much admired by the Tories, is a waste ful and inefficient mockery of guardianship. The present plan, according to which every part of the yard, ships and all, is closely inspected every even ing, and after that no person is allowed to enter the yard, or move about it, without a countersign, on being known to the police, so as to render it almost impossible for any stranger to enter the yard after the gates are closed, and almost impossible for any person to approach a ship in dock, except it be some of the policemen or watchmen on duty, or some of the officers who live in the yard, gives every prac tical and even every desirable security.

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1840. terms, which ninety-nine out of every hundred of the unprofessional body knew and know HO more about than they did and do about the state of medical science in the moon ; and thus their labours were in a great measure thrown away. The article before us is no exception to the general rule ; but we have laid our hand upon an excellent pamphlet 1836, from the pen of a published "nin London Roy a l C o ll ege o f Member o If the Yl Sur geons, supplying all that we regard as d e f e ctive in the class of publications to which we a r e a lludin g . It is entitled " A Sketch of th e M e di ca l Mono polies, with a plan of Reform ;" an d i s a ddr ess ed l to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, then Home Secretary. Let us premise that in making a brief abstract from it, our object is to enable unprofessional readers to whom the details of the question of Medical Re form are little known, to comprehend its great bear ' ing upon the public welfare The circle of medical practice in Great Britain and Ireland embraces three corporate bodies, the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons, and the Com pany of Apothecaries. The College of Physicians was instituted by letters -patent in 1519, and recog nised by Act of Parliament four years subse quently. This College consisted at the time of its institution of about twenty members, to whom was entrusted the administration of physic in the city of London, and in all places within a circle of seven miles around it. The Corporation was al lowed to admit any number of members it pleased into its own body, with a view to the promotion of the health and convenience of the public ; but as it had also the power conceded it of making bye-laws for its internal government, the members were not slow to discover that by keeping down the number of physicians they would. increase the demand for their services and the amount of their fees. The consequence need not be dwelt upon. The public in terests were sacrificed to professional emolument. Quacks sprung up like mushrooms ; and notwith standing the most zealous exertions of the College of Physicians to put them down by legal prosecu tions, the dearth of professional attendance pro cured them a rich harvest among the humbler classes in the metropolis. The barber-surgeons , and the druggists who compounded the prescrip tions of the physicians, were not slow to profit by the short-sighted and inhuman policy of the colle giate body. From bleeding, applying salves, and compounding drugs, the road to prescribing medi cine for all complaints common to the poor wag short and obvious. Impunity begat confidence ; and patronage awakened a laudable desire to de serve it. Prescription made that which was wrong in law right in fact ; so that, when the Corpo ration of Physicians, in 1704, prosecuted Mr. ROSE, an apothecary, for prescribing medicine for an in ternal complaint, the House of Lords reversed the sentence of the Jury finding him guilty, on the equitable ground that the preseriptive righ t claimed by the defendant was essential to a due re gard for the public health. From that period the Company of Apothecaries rose into importance, till in 1315, by a trick es nefarious as the cited bye law of the Corporation of Physicians, its members procured an Act of Parliament restricting the right of practising as an apothecary, in cases of physicians and surgeons no less than the public, to persons who had served an apprenticeship of five years to that branch of the profession. Under this Act the Apo thecaries' Company in England and Ireland have contrived to harass and annoy their professional brethren to an extent which in many cases has amounted to persecution. The writer in the Bri tish and Foreign Review appears to labour under an impression that such persecutions are at present unknown in Ireland. We beg to assure him that he is entirely mistaken in his estimate of the mode ration of the Irish branch of the Apothecaries Company. Three months have not elapsed since the daily and weekly press of Ireland teemed with accounts of the prosecution of medical practitioners, and especially of surgeons, for practising as apothe caries without having served an apprenticeship. This is the more disgraceful as the author of the pamphlet before us states that the business of an apothecary could be as effectually learned in five months as in five years. Furthermore in the case of surgeons of high standing, whose professional ac quirements place them infinitely above mere apothe caries, who does not see in these prosecutions an attempt to degrade a liberal profession to an equa lity with corporations of simple tradesmen ? The remedy proposed by the Author of the Sketch of Medical Monopolies," and adopted by a large class of the petitioners to Parliament whose pe.itions are canvassed by the Reviewer, is simple, equitable, and, in our opinion, quite practi cable. He suggests the suppression of the Corpo rations of Physicians and Surg eons, and the amal gamation of the whole body uteler a common desig nation. T o meet the objections of the physicians, he proposes that the medical profession shall henceforth be divided into two branches—the Senior and the Junior ; and that the whole body of living physicians shall constitute the senior branch, while the junior shall be composed entirely of sur geons. He proposes the establishment of an uni form system of education and of examination for all medical students throughout the United Kiag doin, without regard to the collegiate claims of the Universities, or of any corporate body whatever ; that students admitted to be members of the pro fession shall be at liberty to profess any or every branch of it ; and that the qualification to practise medicine or surgery in London, Dublin, or Edin burgh shall be deemed common not only in these cities respectively, but to every other part of tin. British dominions. To maintain the division o the profession into two branches, he proposes that after the adoption of the uniform system of medical education, the first or senior branch shall consist of practitioners of ten years' standing and upwards ; while all the rest shall be ranked as juniors. As an encouragement to students wha might graduate in any of the Universities, he would allow them to pass into the senior branch in five years, and medical men on becoming eminent in their profession, he would admit to the distinction of seniorship on being elected by the senior body. The system here indicated, or one which shall embrace the principl es which it embodies, must be very shortly adopted by the Legislature. In this age of steam by land and wa ter, when accidents out-number, by a thousand times, all the death diseeses to which the human frame is subject, the old professional etiquette which apportioned the human body amon g different doctors, must be abolished. We live too fast to have time to call in more than one member of the profession ; and it is ) not taxing hum an acqu i rements excess i ve ly to ex pect that the one called in shall be properly qualified to set a broken bone, prescribe a 1 draught, or a bli ster. More pro f ession al know -1 ledge can be now twenty years h a lf a century ago ; nor is there anything to p revent a young man of or di na ry appli cation from being acqu ire d i n a y e ar than could in qualifi e d to pract ice as a surgeon , a physician, and an apothecary a t the age at wh ic h it is nowltsu a l t o o b ta i n a diploma for either of these branches o f me di cal science. J o h n Buil can not tolerate much longer th e l e gion of abus es re sulting from the combined effects of mon o p ol y and quackery. It was currently reported on Monday evening, th at t h e M i n i ste rs of Public Works, Financ3, on the Paris Bourse W ar , Iw_ and Marine, io up to THIERS that day had opposed the war policy of and his colleagues filling the Home, Commercial, I Judicial, and Public Institutional departments, were prevailed upon to unite with the President of the Council in - unanimously tendering their resig nation to the King at St. Cloud. The King de clined the acceptance of their resignation, observing that the Cabinet was morally bound to meet the Chambers, and if necessary justify the adoption of measures which as yet had not obtained a legislative sanction. This remonstrance closed the mouth of the President of the Council, who subsequently agreed to convoke the Chambers for the 15th of Novem ber. The Chronicle accounts for the sudden change in the conduct of the peace party in the Cabinet by observing that up to the arrival of the - official despatches from the Mediterranean, on Saturday night, they did not believe that the Turks, aided by the British marine, could make any impression on Syria. " They thought," says our Contem porary, " MEHEMET ALI and IBRAHIM impreg nable, and deemed that the winter at least would wear away without the reduction or danger of the Pa chas. The full despatches from Beyrout, however, which reached Paris on Saturday night, opened the eyes of the French Ministers. They saw at once that IBRAHIM was completely beaten, and would, if hostilities continued,lbe driven from all Sy ria, without the aid of a single Russian gun. They trembled not merely for Beyrout and the Lebanon, but for Acre and Alexandria itself ; and the con sequence has been the resolve to interfere, if Eng land cannot be got to hold her hand. The fa vourite plan seems to be that of sending troops to Alexandria. Nothing, however, seems to be po sitively decided." This is probable, but we cannot affitin that it is correct. The Captain of her MAJESTY'S packet Ache ron, which arrived at Marseilles on the Ist instant, stated that on the 19th of September the French fleet was at anchor at the Dardanelles.

The Bulletin des Lois of the 30th ult. publishes the Royal Ordinance, opening in the department of war an extraordinary credit of 51,674,000 r. to cover the urgent expenses accruing fr,-)m the increase in the effective force and the materiel of the army, which bad not been provided for by the Chambers during their last Session. The clothing and articles of enean pment figure in the items for a sum of upwards of 13,000,000 of francs, and the outlay torothe purchase of cavalry horses amounts to 9,600,000 f. The same official publication contains the Royal Ordinance of the 28th ult., decreeing the formation of ten additional battalions of Chusseurs, of 1,280 men each. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. The Moniteur publishes the names of the pupils of the Military School of St. Cyr who, having passed their examinations, have been appointed officers in various regiments. The appointments to infantry of the line are 108 ; light infantry 33 ; cavalry 25. Treasury Bonds, which were only at two per cent., have within these two or three last days been issued at four per cent., and instead of having twelve months to run, are now payable in six months. A letter from Abbeville says, " We are led to believe that our fortifications are about to be replaced upon their old footing ; that in case of a war the works will receive important additions, and that our garrisons will be in creased by both infantry and cavalry. At St. Valery sur-Somme it is expected that batteries will be imme diately erected for protecting the entrance into the bay, and that the old Fort de l'Empereur, at the- Pointe do Hourdel, is to be restored and mounted." The Independent of Metz states that a horse-dealer, who arrived at Thionville on the 29th ult., has reported that, wishing to bring some horses from Prussia into France, they were stopped by the Prussian custom house officers, Government having, on the 20tb, issued a prohibition against the exportation of horses by the French frontier. A Frankfort letter of the 26th ult. says—" The first strings of an important contract for horses for France passed through this town yesterday and the day before. One of our dealers has engaged to supply 10,000 head." BO URSE.—PArds, MONDAY, OCT. 5. lest Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price.

Oct. 1 Letters from Constantinople of the 18th ult., state that the Porte had rejected the last proposi tion of MEHENI ET ALI, and the SULTAN had formally deprived him of the Pachalic of Egypt, which nis Highness conferred on IZZET MEHEMET. The DIVAN next declared the Coast of Syria, and Alexandria blockaded, upon which the British and Austrian Ambassadors notified to the subjects of these Powers at Constantinople that, at the request of the Porte, the blockade would be enforced by the combined squadrons of England and A ustria. On the 17th, NOUR RI BEY left Cliti stantinople for Alexandria to inform MEHE MET ALI of his deposition. IZZET ME HEMET had likewise proceeded to Cyprus to await the result of the polite message sent to the VICEROY. The Councils of the Divan, at which ME HEMET ALI was deposed, were held on the 12th and 13th ult.—three days after the arrival of Count WALEWSKI at Constantinople. The mea sure was therefore not adopted in ignorance of the intentions of France. The SHEIK-AL-ISLAM and the Ulenias were all present, and concurred in the sentence of deposition pronounced by the SULTAN. No further intelligence has been received respecting the incendiary fires in the Royal dockyards. • At Sheer ness the investigation has been contkued during the whole of Monday and Tuesday, before Sir John Hill, the Captain Superintendent, Lieutenant Wise, and a Police Inspector. No particulars, however, of any kind are allowed to transpire, as strict orders have been Issued, according to which " no person belonging to the yard shall be allowed on any pretence whatever to communicate, by writing or otherwise, any information relative to the equipment of ships or other business transacted in the dock-yard." The accounts from Devonport are of the same meagre description, though ;.he Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary has contrived to spin out a column and a half, giving a second edition of the cock-and-bull story about two I foreigners and a cabman. Howe, of 120 guns, left the Nore yesterday morning, in tow of the Li g ht n i ng steamer, to proceLd io ortsmoutb, on her way to the Mediterranean. CIRCASSIAN ORATORS AND AUDIENCES. It rarely happens that any under the age of forty ever interfere In these debates; and only with a tolerable sprinkling of grey hairs in the bard, announcing the ma tured wisdom of Tamatas, or elders, can the orator command attention. Should there he any individual fonder then others of hearing himself talk, they have a way of silencing him peculiar to themst Ives; they neither crow like cocks, nor bray like certain other animals in more civilized assemblies, but adopt a method for which the form n:,d the roomy nature of their house of meeting, alfresco, are most peculiarly adapted. The unfortunate orator in such cases is apt to find himself with no other audience than the neighbouring trees and bushes, the circle he had been addressing having rapidly dissolved and re. adjusted itself out of earshot, where it might be seen listen ing to somebody with better claims on is attention.—Long worth's Year among t/, Circassians. CAMBRIDGE, OCT. 4.—Mr. John Frere and Mr. W. C. Mathison, late students ri King's College, London, have been elected Fellows of Trinity College in this University. ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. (THIS DAY.) -- - This morning at eleven o'clock, the Sheriffs, accom panied by the Secondary and the other City officers, proceeded to the Guildhall, to open the poll-books and cast up the poll. This being (lone, no alteration was made in the numbers as they were placed on the poll last night. The Hall was then adjourned to to-morrow at one o'clock, at which hour the state of the poll will be officially announced, and the return made by the Sheriffs to the Court of Aldermen. There were very few persons present to-day. w ESTMINSTER REGISTRATION (THIS DAY.) ST. GEORGE'S, HANOVER-SQUARE. Mr. CRAIG resumed the revision of the list of voters for the parish of St. George, Hanover-square to-day, but the cases which came before the Learned Gentle man consisted chiefly of objections taken against parties on account of the defect of their occupation, and non- Payment of their rites. None of the cases possessed any interest. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There have been moderate fresh supplies since Monday, and few buyers. Transactions in any kind of grain were difficult to effect, and for Wheat and Oats Monday's prices were scarcely obtainable. Flour as last reported. NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

The following intelligence appears in the Jersey Chronicle and British Press, received this morning at the North and South American Coffee-house : Every preparation is making to place the fortifica tions in this island in a complete state of defence. The guns are being mounted on Fort Regent, and orders have been issued to mount guns on all the towers re cently erected round the coast. There are at Fort Regent a battery of 24 pieces of artillery, which it is intended to add to those already in use by the Royal Jersey Militia. It is also stated that, in the event of war, a brigade composed of 24 pieces of artillery of the same calibre would be sent from England. A regiment of the live is expected shortly from England to relieve the depot garrisoned here. We understand that the 11th Regiment of the line is shortly to be garrisoned in this islan‘l, in which case the 45th depot will be quartered at St. Peter's barracks. THE FUNDS.

CAMBRIDGE.—The addition of 101. per cent. o the assessed taxes and the new survey ordered by Go. vsrnment, have rendered an obstructive policy very preva lent in this neighbourhood. An eminent glazier (once a corporate dignitary of high rank) has carried his principles into practice by stopping up a portion of his windows which overlooked that lively and bustling street, the Petty Cury, thus confining his prospects, in a great n,easure, to that sad and sombre scene, St. Andrew's Church-yard. The skill displayed in the work of obstruction is of the highest order, and is worthy the imitation of Stanley, Graham, Sibthorp, and Sir Alexander Grant.—Ca ta . bridge Advertiser. POPERY IN ALLIANCE WITH THE STATE.-- I was anxious to sound, if possible, spite of the plover hial casuistry and caution of their (the Jesuits) order, their real sentiments regarding the recovery of ecclesiasti cal power. When, therefore, conversation had assumed a confidential and even merry tone, I alluded to the genet al belief of their hope of the recovery of ecclesiastical power in this country, and asked, " Is not this an object that, as sincere lovers of your own Church, you must ardently desire?" In a moment, and with an enthusiasm that could not be mistaken, one of them replied, " No, never To desire the political establishment of Catholicism would be to desire its destruction ! I hope never to see that day—it would be a fatal day to us." " Yes," I rejoined, " this I know is the common language of English Catho. lies; but how is it thvt it does not azrce with the practice of Catholics, tahen the opportunity is afforded them ? On the continent we see the Catholicr as ready as ev, r to' ally themselves with the State." " That," replied Mr. Daniels, "is the very reason that makes me dread a union with the'. State here. I kr ow human nature—l know how prone it is to grasp at power and honour; but I know too that the union with the State was the destrues tion of the Church of Rome in this country in the loth century, and it is destraying the Ch ur© h o f E ng l an d now , and will destroy it. Sir, we have road history as well as the Protestants, and we know, as mill as we know any thing, that an Establishment is the most fatal curse that can befal any Church. We know tout it infuses a Letheati lethargy ; it dest w ys the titalit ) of zeal ; it breaks up the living interest bet c ot, a p pct and his people. That is the not or i ous an d neeossary result of an Esablishrhe that has be en , an d i s, and must be, the orpaleal tetickny of such an exper i ment, and, therefore, w h atever may bc e p the desire of others, mine is, that Catholicism may . neye . r be establi s h e d b y l aw i n these kingdoms."—llowite.s Vis it to Stonyhurst. the Great Jesuit College.

EVENTING EDITION. LITERATURE. MONTHLY LAW MAGAZOR In an article on the subject of the New Hano verian Code of Criminal Law," of which the writer is a eulogist, he observes, while speaking incident ally about duelling, " it is obvious either that duels should be permitted, sanctioned, or whatever other name may be attached to the insensibility of autho rities to acts of violence, or that they ought to be punished, like every other crime, for the mere at tempt. Lord Cardigan is to be punished, we stir pose ; at all events he is subjected to inconvenience judicially inflicted ; and this, we think, is perfectly right, for he has violated the law by actually fighting a duel and wounding his antagonist." We perfectly agree with the writer that duelling should be punishable act, for it is only by the law tak ing strict cognizance of it, that the evil—for evil it is, and of no slight order—can possibly be abated., " Case of Madame Laffarge," is a detailed state ment of the curious circumstances attending. th.is late trial, which has occasioned such a se nsation 1 11 France. The writer reserves his opinion of the Cto for the next Number. " Promises by Bankrupt and Insolvents," is an article interesting only to lawyers.
