We conclude with strongly recommend ing these volumes to general perusal."—Dispatch. These volumes are crowded with anecdotes and descrip tions ; and it will be readily perceived that they are extremely entertaining, and written in a spirit of vivacity unusual in nar ratives of this class.

On that presumption we think the case worthy of public notice, it being probable that the general principle it involves is equally correct, whether the mischevious lancer be or be not the descendant of the useful and deser vedly honoured barber. Without dwelling on the particular instance — though that is a striking illustration of a general fact—we may observe that we can scarcely walk the streets—certainly we cannot enter the Park—of a Sunday, without encountering some r oue, some bloated, unwieldy mass of useless flesh, some man at whom the finger is pointed with scorn and con tempt, or some ruined gamester, whose father or grandfather elevated himself above his compeers by his sagacity, his sterling integrity, and his in dustry, and the soul of whose exertions was the acquisition of a fortune and a title to transmit to his posterity. The pleasure, however, is in the chase, not in the prize. The laborious lawyer who plodded over his books deep in the night and rose early in the day, who gave up his whole time to his irksome profession, followed a pursuit congenial to his taste and suitable to his capacities, and while labouring was a contented and a happy man. His exertions, however, by providing largely for his offspring, have deprived them of the prodigious en joyment he experienced year after year, and day after day, as he contemplated his own success, and by taking from them a rational motive for exertion he has driven them into those vicious or ruinous habits which make their lives miserable and them objects of public scorn. What is true of the individual is true of a great number, and if my Lord A., or Lord 8., or the honoured barber, could see their grandchildren, they would think they had inflicted on them a far bitterer curse than nature, when she condemned man to eat bread by the sweat of his brow. We may not, however, pursue this train of reflec tion. It is enour.h that we have indicated the ge neral truth, which the sight of the name of ARK WRIGHT amongst a body of mischievous young aristocrats has suggested. It is painful to think that to perpetuate the misery, and real degradation of those who, by being provided for out of the public purse, or out of the hoards of their ancestors, are deprived of motives for industry, the masses are very often doomed to hunger and a degradation of an op posite kind—the degradation of slavery. Whether it is always to be so— Thus bath it been, shall be beneath the sun, The marl still must labour for the one— we will not undertake to decide ; but we know not why the same rule which holds good in physics should be an unsafe rule in morals. What hurts us we avoid, and we look on the pain of a wound, or the fever which follows intoxication, as a clear command of nature to abstain from cutting ourselves or drinking to excess. We are studious to observe and follow the laws, such as gravity, of the material world, and when we find the great disparity of pos sessions which exists in society, productive Of misery and degradation to those who have much and to those who have nothing, i nflicting at the same time much injury on all be tween them, may we not expect that men wil! be at some time or other as solicitous to avoid moral as they are physical injuries ? We at least will not despair. We will not assent to the poet's conclu sion that it shall always he thus, and such striking examples of the degradation to which honourable men may doom their posterity, by the wealth which they are so anxious to gather--as those we have briefly referred to—may be instructive lessons to future generations. Zrb LONDON: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1840. The Bolton Free Press informs us that a public I procession and meeting, have been got up at Bolton in honour of Mr. M.DouALL. On Wednesday he arrived from Manchester at that place, and was conducted in triumph to the theatre, which was crowded with persons to welcome him. A resolution was first adopted to " form the Association, to be called the "British Charter Association," and then Mr. NPDOUALL was introduced to the meeting. We have no intention of following him through his speech ; we shall only quote two specimens of his present influence. A Delegate from Sheffield was present, and invited lkfr. M'DOUALL to visit that town. He declined, because he " was engaged for every evening to the 14th of September, and he might then go to Scotland. When he might be at liberty he did not know." He has been made al most an idol by persecution. Ihe Government has struck him, and the people worship him, an indica tion not to be misunderstood of the feelings of the people towards the Government—not the Whigs, not the present Ministers merely, but the system by which the industrious are doomed to starvation, and the idle acquire or preserve wealth. One HUNT or one COBBETT was sufficient to frighten and annoy the Tories ; now there is a HUNT or a COBBETT in almost every town—their number has been increased by prosecution, and yet there is no alarm. It is with great re'uctance we advert so often to a subject which would be more fitly treated in a sermon, or in a religious Magazine, than in a News paper, but it is absolutely forced upon us by the absurd, mischievous, and pharisaical cotiduct of a set of meddlers Who seem to delight only in harass ing their neighbours. We have always argued, that to enforce the observance of the Sunday, ac cording to the doctrines of Sir ANDREW AGNEW, is not only injurious to pure religion, but naturally leads the public mind to ascertain th , . authority on which he founds his law, thereby tending to impair the decent observance of a day which is more reli giously kept in this country than any other spot in the world. Colonel THOMPSON has applied his vigorous mind to the subject, and thotigh the man ner in which he expresses himself may not suit all tastes, it cannot be denied that he gives chapter and verse for his authority, and follows that up with arguments which neither Sir ANDREW, nor any of his disciples, can gainsay. There are some re markable facts connected with the history of these Sabbath observers, which we recommend to their careful consideration. Against no class of sinners are such denunciations of divine vengeance poured forth, both in the Old and the New Testament. In the beautiful language of the chief of the pro phets, we find them thus apostrophised—" Your new moons and Sabbaths, your calling of assem blies, I cannot away with. They are a trouble unto me, lam weary to hear them. I will hide mine eyes from you ; yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear." What are they com manded to do ? " Cease to do evil ; learn to do well." The Divine Founder of the Christian re ligion had the same antipathy to the race. He lost no opportunity of denouncing the Rulers of the Synagogue and the Pharisees, for their hypo critical adherence to one command, neglecting the more weighty matters of the law—judgment, mercy, and faith. Against none of the sects of that day did he express such just indignation, as against those who " sought to kill him, because he had broken the Sabbath." " Hypocrites," " whited sepulchres," and the like, were the only epithets which he deigned to apply to them ; and when they endeavoured to entrap him by asking which was the great commandment, he did not even allude to that on which, according to the modern Pharisees, hang all the law and the prophets. It is worthy of re mark also, that in none of his sermons, and on no occasion, did he give any injunctions about the ob servance of the Sabbath, and much less of the day t hat is now kept. He taught in the synagogues on the Sabbath ; so did PAUL and BARN BAS long after his crucifixion ; and the only grounds for observing the first day of the week are given from Scripture by Colonel THOMPSON, in which not eve n the slightest allusion is made to those pains and penalties that the modern Pharisees would in flict upon us —nay, the very contrary is enjoined to all Christians. " Let no man judge you in meat, ori a n t drink,. or in respect of holidays, or of Yet they would and do judge us in all these. We cannot eat, or drink, or even dictate.passalong tThehosutgrehets theyon a e S e u t nda t y h , ei b u r s i e t themselves they up as the great patterns of righteousness, Amongst the officers of the Lancets lately I they are the most egregious offenders brought before the Magistrates of Middlesex, for against the Divine Law, 0 and wou ld cut riotous b e h av i our, damaging the property , an d i n . down the wisest and t h e b est of the land, a ieting injuries on theofthe classes, and perhaps the only true persons ala WATERFORD or according to the ancient own miserable dimensions. They despise the New Mohawk fashion, was one of the name of ARK- , dispensation. They adhere only in form to the WRIGHT. Can this.be the grandson of that ARK- Jewish law. They do not even observe the da y of WRIGHT who juvented ;he spinning jennies ? We the week commanded by 3103 W to be kept holy, The Bolton weavers, poor as they are—and we have reported in The Sun the evidence of their great distress—could still find something to give their idol. A Marseilles quilt of exquisite work manship, was presented to him for his advocacy of the cause of the hand-loom weavers. Strong, indeed, must be the feeling of gratitude, and still stronger the feeling of hope in the bosoms of these poor men when they could add to their own toils, or increase their own privation, to confer this present on Mr. M‘DouALL. We look on that as a sign in them of a deep and strong-souled enthusiasm for liberty ; and such feelings cannot be trifled with, nor forcibly suppressed, without danger. Chartism, far from being dead, does not even sleep. It is awake and watchful, ready to take any advantage whielfwill enable it to attain its end. The middle classes are afraid, we believe, of rousing the roli tical enthusiasm of the lower classes. They saw something of its might in the Reform time, and they were terrified. If by standing aloof, or by coercive - measures, they could put down this enthusiasm, or prevent its existence and growth, we might esteem their conduct prudent. But the enthusiasm exists, it pervades the masses, it cannot be put down by force, and it now becomes the duty of the middle classes to guide it, if possible, to good and peace ful ends. We may add that we have received from a Cor respondent, an account of a tea party and ball, at Northampton, on Friday, for the benefit of HENRY VINCENT, who is not forgotten b y his friends. friends. Till he was sent to gaol he was scarcely known beyond the metropolis and Wales ; this im prisonment has made him known all over England. H e is a reedy orator, a fast friend to democracy, and, like Mr. M'DouALL, will be elevated into an idol by persecution. Vetily the enthusiasm of the piople will not want leaders, and they will not be found in the rank of landlords. We cannot conclude without thanking our Cur respondent for his c ommunication, and expressing our regret that it is impossible for us to make any further use of it. and have actually pilfered from the Hebrews the very name of the day on whichthey would punish all whodonot join with them in their anti-Christian observances. The great points of the Christian religion have been summed up by its wise Founder in these words—" Love GOD, and love thy neigh bour as thyself ;" and been further illustrated thus by one of his Apostles—" Pure religion and undefiled before GOD and the FATHER is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." What communion have these Divine truths with ths. wild irreligious doctrines of the Agnewites ? pay the expenses of what may now be regartitti as a mere farce." We copied a few days ago a paragraph from a Brighton paper, stating that the hop planters were in a bad condition, and adding that they must tnemoralize the Treasury to postpone the payment t of the second instalment of the hop duty for 1839, which is payable in November neat. Now, this is too bad. No other class is so favoured by legislation, or rather, for no other class is the rest of the community so seriously injured as for the agriculturists ; and now it is expected that their taxes are to he remitted, or the pay ment r ostponed, while every other class must be racked and tortured to squeeze out of them the expense of the Government. It is not now for the first time that this impoverished and yet boasting class have made similar claims. Ver) frequently have the hop growers supplicated to have the duty postponed, and out of their fair con tributions to the public—when it has been post poned—have they paid their rents. It will be scandalous now if the Government postpone for one day, or for one hour, the payment due from the hop planters. The landlords levy an enormous tax on the people,—iet them pay what will be due from the hop growers to the State. IMPORTANT NEWS FROM EGPPT AND SPAIN. The Moniteur Parisien of Sunday night has been received by express, together with other Paris Journals of the same date. The news it contains is highly important. By the arrival of the Tartare steamer at Toulon on the 29th ult. from Alexan dria, which she loft on the 18th, the French Go vernment was put in possession of the following in- telligence : " Intelligence from Alexandria received by Govern. ment states that the Viceroy of Egypt has replied by a refusal to the notifications which Rdaat Bey was charged to convey to him. He declared that he would repel force by force, but that he would commit no act of ag gression." The Univers, it: its number of yesterday and to-day, pretends that at the last reception of the diplomatic body at St. Cloud, after his Majesty's return from Re, the King spoke in very energetic terms to the Ambassadors or Prussia and Austria on the subject of the Treaty of Lon don. Notwithstanding the tonaderite with which the Univers relates these facts, which we would willingly be lieve to be correct, we are obliged to douLt their truth. The Univers cannot be ignorant that the Prussian Ambas sador, as we stated at the time, left Paris for Berlin nearly two months ago, and will tit return to Paris till October. It is, therefore, impossible that Louis Philippe can have addressed him with so much warmth. We fur ther invite the Univers to point out the day on which there was a reception of the diplomatic body at St. Cloud, for persons who on account of their situation, must have been present, have no knowledge of it, any further than that some Ambassadors went there successively to pay their respects to the King, as they are used to do, once or twice in a month. Now, on these et casions the King always avoids talking of politics, for when he wishes to speak Oh business with an Ambassador, he invites him to come to his Cabinet, as he did on his re turn from Eu, to Count Appony, who was seen, a few days ago, corning out of the Tuilleries with an air of sa tisfaction; thus giving the lie to the warlike speeches which som e Loa lsnEo i L n iti j i e : d Ai injudicious iu s ii:o e Dn o ss U 7 n t t isp r a i e e tr; s B Cs 2,3 t _h . e King's mouth.—Le Commerce. Actual Dein, 2}si per Ce nt . Itothschtkl` Loan, 5 per C,nt RIFAAT BEY was the bearer of the Ultimatum which the Four Powers instructed the SULTAN to present in his own name to the VICEROY. He left Constantinople on the. 7th ult., ac companied by a numerous suite. A Mornin g Contemporary supposes that hostilities will com mence immediately. This we regard as a mistake. The ratification of the Treaty of London will first take place, and the Four Powers, in conjunction with the Porte, will make a joint overture to the PACITA, allowing him ten days for either accept ing or rejecting it. If he per.ist in his refusal, then—but not till then—will coercive measures LE adopted. Had the mission of RIFAAT BEY proved successful, we do not suppose that the ratification of the Powers would have been exchanged, and thus every pretext for displeasure on the part of France would have been avoided. But the PACHA cares nothing for France, so he but succeed in embroiling her in a quarrel with the other Powers. He cannot appreciate either the difficulties nor the delicacy of her position. All he seeks is to make her subservient to the promotion of his own schemes of wad ambition. A second official article in the same Journal an `nounces the resignation of the new Spanish Minis try. The following is a translation of the article in question :--- " On Aug. 23 some disorders occurred at Valencia. A portion of the population desired to give a serenadt. to the Queen. Groups were immediately formed to prevent it. The Council of Ministers assembled, and decided that the serenade should not take place. " The Ministers afterwards demanded of the Queen authority to announce by circulars that the law on the Ayuntamientos (or municipal lay?) should not be enforced until it should have been taken into conside ration by a new Cortes. The Queen refused. MM. Onis and Cabello (Ministers for Foreign Affairs and for the Interior respectively) have given in their resig nations." The Queen-Regent of SPAIN is doing all in her power that monarchy in the Peninsular mat not outlive her time. Her MAJESTY wishes to figure in history as the last Queen of SPAIN. The power which the Constitution has placed in her hands she employs in assailing the basis upon which rests the tottering throne of her august daughter. Her MAJESTY is aware that the New Municipal Law was passed by a Cortes which did not represent the Spanish people—that it infringes the rights secured to the people by the Constitution of 1837—that it cannot be carried into operation without provoking a civil war in all the provinces ; and yet she madly persists in opposition to the will of General ESPARTERO, her Ministers, the army, and the bulk of the Spanish people, in adhering to it. If another revolution be the consequence, and if the REGENT be sent to keep company with Don CARLOS and the Princess of BEIRA, the blame— if blame there be—ought to be attributed to the infatuation of a Princess who knows not how to govern a free people. On the subject of the memorandum relative to the Treaty of London, addressed by Lord PAL MERSTON to M. GUIZOT, we find the following official paragraph in the Moniteur,of Sunday : .• The journals publish this day, from the Angsburgh Gazette, the memorandum addressed to France last July the 17th. This document, which has been trans lated from French into German, from German into French, is not exactly given in all its expressions. W e shall not publish in reply the memorandum of Franc e . Nevertheless, that which has just seen the light con tains two assertions which oar Ambassador his rteti fied, at the very moment when the memorandum was communicated to him. The first consists in saying that the arrangement adopted by the Four Powers; and which only gives to the Viceroy Egypt and the Pachalik of Acre, wa s based on ideas enounced by the French Embassy. Neither M. Guizot nor the Cabinet of the Ist of' March bag ever enounced such ideas. Existing documents prove that at anterior periods the French Cabinet neither suggested nor accepted anything of the kind. The second assertion consists in saying that France, by her reiterated declarations, had given reason to be lieve that in no case she would oppose the measures taken by the Powers. This assertion is not correct ; it was diputed at the very moment. Never at any pe riod has France alienated her liberty of action." The French Government takes extraordinary pains to prove to the world that it wants but a pre text for a warlike brush in some quarter of the globe. As a pendant to the .Monitettr's denial of the correctness of the statements in the memoran dum, two Royal ordonnances are published in the Bulletin des Lois, opening new supplementary credits to the Minister of War—the first, of 8,336,381 francs, on account of the rise in the pi ice of commodities ; and the second, of 18,986,000 francs, on account of the increase of the army, which is thus divided : 3per Cent.

A ug. ,A It appears, from the Mansion -house report, that the Times has obtained a most influential coadjutor in de nouncing the impiety and blasphemy of Mr. Harmer's paper. " Adversity," says the proverb, "makes us acquainted With strange b ed fellows;' and thi more aptly ill us t rate d t h an in the present instance, when Mr. Stockaale yok es hi mself with the Times in pm s was never testing against the immoral publications attributed to the worthy candidate for the Mayoralty. The Alder man's fate is now sealed. When Mr. Joseph Stocks dale comes forward as a protector of public morals, all the virtuous Liverymen of London must follow his ex ample, and prevent the intruder from desecrating the Civic chair. FOOTPATHS.—A Correspondent, who gives us his name, has transmitted us a much longer account than we can publish, of a renewed attempt by the Duke of Portland and a tenant of his, to stop up the right of way from Kilburn over Primrose-hill. About two years ago a similar attempt was made and was defeated, but ;low, according to our Correspondent, the plan is likely to be successfully carried out. Houses are being built across the footpath, and the builder refers those who wake applications to him to the lawyers, with whom, he says, he has settled the matter. The law and law) ers are well described in the reference. They are held up to terrify men from claiming their rights. We cannot enter into all the particulars, but we must insist strong:) , on its being the duty of the parochial and the Govern ment authorities (borough authorities there are none) to protect the rights of pedestrians as well as all other classes. The poor have a property, and as far as health is concerned, an important and valuable property, in every footpath. They have as much right to it as the landowner has to the ground adjoining it, and the Go vernment and the Magistrates are as much bound to protect them in the enjoyment as to protect the Duke of Portland in the possession of his lawful estate. What is wanted is an active executive power to see the right s of the poor protected. Nominally the Government answers to that description. It is active enough in protecting the rights and property of the rich—active enough in establishing police to curb the poor, and in watching over the aristocracy; and if it were to do i ts d uty, i t would equally watch over the rights of the poor, and actively enforce them. The right to footways about the metropolis and other towns, is one which the Government ought to protect. It pretendi to be very solicitous about the health of the people, let it therefore secure to them the means of exercising ther limbs in the fresh air, and in the green fields, by guarding the footways from Kilburn to Prim rose-hill, amongst others, from the encroachments of ;elfish individuals. Within our recollection the public have been excluded from at least a score cf footways in the neighbourhood of Islington and Highgate, which would not have been the case had the law afforded the people a cheap remedy for injustice ; or had the Govern -1 ment the least claim to the title it sometimes assumes of being the father of the people. - Ma. COLLINS.—It will be seen from an advertise meat in another part of the paper, that there is to be a meeting in town, to-morrow evening, of the friendsot Mr. Collins, w h o su ff ere d severe imprisonment w ith Mr. Lovett, in Warwick Gaol. We trust that in dis cussing the Corn-laws they will take a proper view of this important subject, and not split with friends as anxious us themselves to improve the institutions of the country, and at the same time determined to put an end at once to this grinding tax. If Reformers re fuse to co-operate till they agree on all points, they may rest assured their enemies will defeat them. Staffs 45,000f. Pay and keep of troops 1,322.000f.

Madrid papers of the 23d ult. have reached us by ex press. Some notion may be gathered of the scenes which are likely to occur in Madrid, from the following reply of the Ayuntamiento to the address of the National Guards, offering their support should the execution of the Munici pality Bill be attempted : " The Constitutional Ayuntamiento has witnessed with •be greatest satisfaction the patriotic sentiments expressed by the battalion placed under your command. As the critical circumstances in which the country is placed may render the co.operation of armed citizens necessary for the defence of our institutions, the Ayuntamiento accepts with pleasure your offer. You may be persuaded that when the period of legal resistance arrives the Constitutional Ayuntamiento will know how to perform Its duty ; and it is satisfied that the National Guards of Madrid will accomplish their part with firmness, conforming to the orders of the Corporation as prescribed by the law itself. " Madrid, Aug. 21. " To the Commandant, Sac." The Diario de Valence gives the list of Carlist prisoners of the tort of Collado shot by the Christino authorities at Chelva on the 13th and 14th ult. This list includes the Governor of the fort, Dora Marcos Bancos, three corporals, and 27 soldiers ! On the 12th, Peinado, the Carlist chief, and 27 officers, also of the garrison of Collado, and a woman (gracious God !) accused of having served as a spy of Cabrera, were shot by the Christino troops in presence of the National Guards of Titaguas I On the 13th, also at Titaguas, Peinado's brother and 60 more Carlists were shot Total, 120 men shot, and one woman I And this be cause the defence of Collado was obstinate, and the garri son were taken prisoners after evacuating it. " Do 3ou wish to know," writes the Madrid corespond ent of the Gazette du Languedoc, " in what manner chil dren are shot by the Christino authorities ? Because, says General Trinidad Balboa, eight Carlists having killed an inhabitant of Daymiel, it was necessary, as repri sals, that the relations of the Carlist chief, Cerones, who were then in prison, should draw lots amongst them for a victim to be shot. It fell upon a child four 3 ears of age, and the Christino Commandant of the fort of Fuente del Fresno oideied the shooting of this innocent creature." THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COLONIAL MARKET.

We have also equally to acknowledge the great trou ble you have taken to lay our case before the British and American Consul, of this place, and to procure for us the kindness and protection of those gentlemen, which relieves us from ail fear of further personal dan ger and ill-treatment, hitherto suffered by us from our late persecutors. Ali this we owe to your disinterested kindness and indetatißable exertions for our welfare, and to you alone under God many of us owe our lives, which otherwise would eertainly have been secrificed to the fury of our tormentors. Ili return for such buoaAne and beneficent services, we can only offer our prayers and our thanks, and we trust that iii due time you will meet the reward which such true benevolence write.

ULSTER ASSOCIATION.— LORD CIIA RLE MONT.-0a Thursday last the first meeting of the general Committee of the Ulster Constitutional Association was held in the Music-hall of Belfast, and was attended by members from all parts of the province. Edward Bruce, Esq., J. P., of Scoutbush, presided. Several important resolutions were adopted. A sub-committee wn. ap pointed for the purpose of promoting the more effectual registration of voters in Ulster. Another sub-committee was appointed, to report upon " the objectionable provi sions of the registration and election laws at present in force in the United Kingdom, and especially to suggest such alterations and amendments in those laws regarding Ireland as would tend to prevent fraud and corruption, and confer a more extensive franchise, with a greater faci. lity of obtaining it ; and, finally, to suggest measures tor defeating any bill similar to that lately introduced by Lord Stanley." The general meeting of the Association was fixed for the Ist of October next. The Earl of Charie mont, in a letter addressed to Mr. S. Crawford and Mr. D. Ross, the Secretaries, announces his acceptance of the office of President of the Society. His Lordship believes " in the beneficial results likely to follow from the formation of this well-timed association," nor does he " doubt of its ap proaching ir.fluence on the future destinies of Ireland, or on the cause of well understood, rational, and practical liberty in general ?" MILITARY MOVEMENTS TO THE MEDI TEKRANEAN.-On Monday morning Lieutenant -Colonel Gordon, Lieutenant Middleton, and a detachment of the Royal Artillery, marched trorn Woolwich to the Vauxhall terminus of the Southampton Railway, and pro , ceeded by that conveyance to Southampton, where they were to embark the same evening on board the Oriental mail steam-packet ship for Corfu. The Oriental sailed to-day with a considerable number of military officers and men for the Mediterranean. On Sunday evening orders were received at head-quarters for Captain Cater, of the Royal Artillery, and his company to hold thf , mselves in readiness to proceed at a moment's notice to Malta. The pressing nature of thise movements may be conjectured, from the fact that Captain Cater and his company only relieved Captain Hyde and the men under his command at Purfltet so late as Friday last. EUSTACE BARROW. THE LATE THOMAS SIMPSON, ESQ • _ We published yesterday, from an American paper, an account of the lamentable death of this gentleman, and the awful circumstances with which it was accom panied. We have since learned, from a quarter entitled to our fullest confidence, that, although no official Intel ligence of this melancholy event has been received at the Hudson's Bay House, no doubt is entertained there of the correctness of the main facts. Of the cause there is, and car, be, but one explanation—insanity. Mr. Simpson, it is well known, had been for the last four years actively engaged 'n the prosecution of those discoveries which have immortalized his name. He allowed himself no relaxation, summer or winter, from the labours necessary ler the accomplishment of the great object of his ambition. The discovery of the north-west passage absorbed his whole soul. So bent was he on this enterprise that he actually made a tender of his life and his whole fortune to the Hod , son's Bay Company in order to complete the survey of Boothia Felix, and the great bay of islands stretching eastward to the Straits of the Fury and Hecla, should there be any demur as to the c xpense and difficulty of the undertaking. Uotortunately for him he knew not that instructions had been sent out appointing him to the comm tad of the expe dition which his ardent imagination bad invested with so much interest. In ignorance of this appointment, and fearful of losing another season, he was on his way to England for the purpose of laying his plans personally before the Directors, and prevail ing upon them to embrace his views, when his reason gave way under the excitement occasioned by the anxi eties of his position, and the great fatigue and want o rest to which he had exposed himself during the part the journey which had been necomplished. It has been stated that. Mr. Simpson and Mr. Dense both set out together for England, and were striving to outrun each other in the raee of prefernvnt. There is nut the least f aindation ter this statement. There was no rivalship between these two gentlemen. M though the senior of- Mr. Simpson, al ways acknowledged that the success of their expedition was n i amiy owing to the rare combination of talents and qualifications possessed by his younger associate, and was not on his way to Ea gland when these dreadful ev,'nts occurred, but was returning with his family to Gurida, of which be is a native. Mr. Simpson wis about 32 years of age, and went to Hudson's Bay in 1829. He was a native of Dingwall, in Ross-shire, and had received a liberal education, hav ing been intended for the Church. While prosecuting his studies at King's College, Aberdeen, he greatly dis titigui,hed himself, both by the regularity of his conduct and his attainments in the various branches of literature and science to which his studies were directed. No man could be better prepared for the arduous duties which devolve upon a discoverer in the Arctic regions, and very few possessed the natural qualifications for such pursuits in an equal degree. His constitution was robust, and his activity extreme. No obstacles could daunt his courage. or subdue his energy and perseve rance. To these qualities were added an amiable and obliging disposition, which made him a general favourite, and that generous love of fame which usually accompa nies superior talents. He had been promoted to the rank of Chief Trader by the Hudson Bay Company, and would, had he lived, have risen to the highest distinction which they can bestow, as they entertained the strongest sense; of the many valuable qualities which he possessed. P.k.lt LS POLICE. THE FRENCH STUDENT AND fHE PARIS GRISETTE. —A handsome young man, with light mustachios, w•as called up before the Paris correctional police, on Tuesday last, on the charge of having assaulted a young woman. Tile plaintiff, a pretty brunette, shot indignation from her sparkling black eyes when she perceived the de fendant, and. after having allowed a rather energetic ex pression to escape her ruby lips, said with a sneer, " With saint-looking Lace, who could think that he would lift his hand against a woman ?" Sydonie, on being called upon to give sonic particulars of the case. spoke as follows :—" I was at the concert of the Chalet with a female friend ;—that gentlemen was cloy to us, and did nothing but look at us, so much so, intlecal, that Clemente said he was look ing at her ; but I knew better, fur I saw he was look ing at me." The PRESIDENT—These details are unnecessary ; speak of the ill-treatment you received. Mtnle. Sydonie—l tnust, I suppose, relate how the affair happened. Well, the gentleman came up to us and offcred us ices at the Cate des Ambassadeurs. Those things are always accepted. Clemente ate three, I I two, and when we were going to re-enter the concert he let Clemente go in, and then whipped me off to the boulevard, and I found mysdi in a coach before I had time to look round mt.. THE PEOVER MURDER.— Notwithstanding every exertion has been used by the Magistrates and Mr Harper the special high constable of Cheshire, as well as the constabulary force under his command, nothing has, up to the present moment, transpired to fix the guilt upon any party. Several persons have, howe-er been in el l : tody ; but there was not sufficient evidence to warrant their further detent , on. At one o'clock en F r id ay alter noon the remains of Mr. and Mrs. Cook were interred in f am ily grave in Oven Peover churchyard. The funeral procession consisted of two one-horse hearses, headed by the Rev. Christopher Bush, the incumbent of the parish, and followed by Mr. Mapin (Mrs. Cook's brother), Mr. R. Couk (the brother of Mr. Cook), Mr. Joseph Cemk (a nephew, from Manchester), Mr. James Palin (from West gate), Mr. Joseph Palin (of Knutsford), Mr. Lear (bro. ther-in-law), and seveval neighbours of the deceased. THE PENNY POSTAGE.--A very important announcement has been issued to the various regiments in her Majesty's service relative to the delivery of letters to non-commissioned officers and soldiers. At military sta tions, where the barracks happen to be within the limits o f the free delivery of any town, it is understood the Post master-General will cause all regimental letters to be de livered at such barrack., by the post-office servants, free of all exnense, provided the officer commanding the troops shall prefer that mode of delivery to their being called for at the post-office. It is to be clearly understood that the post-office letter carriers are not to be unneces sarily detained at the barracks on these occasions, or re quired to distribute the regimental letters in the barracks; and that in all cases in which the letters are sent from the post-office to the barracks, the commanding officer shall cause them to be received and paid for by some trust-wot thy non-commissioned officer to be appointed for that purpose, preparatory to their being distributed by that non-commissioned officer, or called ftir at the regimental orderly-room by the individuals to whom they are addressed. At stations where the barracks happen to be placed beyond the limits alluded to, the regimental letters must be called for at the post-office, by an orderly non-commissioned officer, as a duty, for the discharge of which he is to receive no perquisite. It is understood the troop sergeant-majors and pay-sergeants of companies shall take this orderly duty in turn. Tt.is arrangement will be a difference to the fife major, who formerly enjoyed thi s perquisite in the royal arttllery, of an average of 95., and in regiments of tile 01 Os. per day. The PuEsIoENT—W.2II, and then, I suppose, he struck you ? Aidlle. Sydonic—How could he strike me then as he had no right over me ? The next morning he called on me at the shop, and " Sydoriie, if' von like to go the play to-night I will Like you." These thins are always accepted. I accordingly went at six o'clock to the place of appointment, near the statue of Wit ter, in the Luxembourg garden, where a young man came up to me and said, " You are waiting for M. Anatole ; are you not, Miss ?" I replied affirmatively. He then told me that Anatole had charged him to take ma to the Pantheon, where we should find hint. I, who had no reason to doubt the young man went with him. When we were seated he told me " Anatole will not come, he has deceived you—take my advice and forget him." The evening passed off very well, and as we were leav i ng the theatre, the young man prepared some punch. These things are always accepted. We went into a cafe where he said he was known, and the first person we saw was Anatole, smoking a pipe and play ing at dominoes. I went up to him, and, naturally enough, told him he was a beast. He told me to hold my tongue, but I continued to reproach him with his ill-conduct, and repeated the word. He then seized me by the arm and turned me out of the house, giving me at the same time a kick which covered the lower part of my shawl with mud. I wanted to scratch his eyes out, but he was quicker in his motion than I, and, giving me a slap on the face, laid me sprawling on the ground. I began to cry, but, on reflection, I said to myself that it was ridiculous to sheti tears for such creatures, and I went to the commissary of police to complain of the assault. This is the whole story. M. Anatole, in his defence, said that Mdle. Sydow° had begun by kicking up a row which by no means suited him, and had commenced the attack by stretch ing his lace. He, therefore, solicited the trial to he in order that he might produce wit nesses Cri'or a week, 3stoprowyethe truth of his assertion.

Sydonie, who mut tered, as she went away," Men always support each other. COURT CIRCULAR. The Princess Augusta was visited yesterday by the Duchess of Gloucester.
