MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM, FOR FILLING DECAYED TEiiTH WITHOUT PAIN, HEAT, OR PRESSURE, AND INCORRODIBLE MINERAL TEETH, Without Wires, Springs, or any other Ligatures, Patronized by the Royal Families off` England and France. NfON S. J. M. and A. MALLAN, No. 46, BOLD-STREET, 1 Liverpool, and 82, KING -STREET, Manchester, SERG F.ON DENTISTS, (of the Firm of Malian and Sons, Great Russell street, Bloomsbury, and Half-moon-street, Piccadilly, London, where they may be consulted daily,) ardently thank their Friends and the Public, for the distinguished support which they continue to receive. .. Monsieur J. M. and A.M. continue to restore decayed Teeth, however large or small the cavity, with their etilebrated MINE RAL SUCCEDANEUM, so universally recommended by the Faculty of England, France, and other Continental cities; the operation of stopping decayed Teeth is performed iu a few seconds; the Mineral is put into the cavity in an almost liquid state, without pain, heat, or pressure, hardens into Enamel, allays the most excruciating pain, making a stump into a whole Tooth, and lasts for many years, preventing the necessity of extraction. Messrs. M. during their course of study have adopted a mode of fastening Loose Teeth, particularly of aged persons, whether arising from neglect, or the use of Calomel, or disease of the Gums. Incorrolible Mineral Teeth placed, from one to a complete set, which are incapable of discolotihtion or corrosion, fixed without wires or ligatures, renders it impossible to distinguish the Artificial Teeth from the natural ones, and warranted to answer every purpose of articulation and mastication, and will be found in every respect amply competent to supply the place of their predecessors. Natura l Teeth axed on the above irn proYed_principle. The Faculty ate constantly welcome to witness the applica tion of the MINERAL SUCCEDANECM, which they so universally recommend. Messrs. M. recommend to parents, and others having the care of children, to be particular in having the Teeth examined pre vious to their second growth, as various diseases of the mouth have arisen from that neglect. Charges as in Paris. CAL: iox.—Messrs. MALLAN conceive it necessary to caution the Public against imposition—they are the only Proprietors and Discoverers of the Mineral Succedaueuni.

DESTRUCTION OF HUMAN LIFE BY CHOLERA.--The disease called spasmodic cholera appears to have been unknown previ ous to 1817, when it appeared in India. Since that time till near the end of 1832, a period of about fifteen years, there have been, throughout the world, as nearly as can be estimated, 100,000,000 of cases. Of these, fully one-half, at the least, must have died; which gives a mortality, from this single dis ease, of 50,000,000 in the above period, or upwards of 3,34000 annually. In India alone, the mortality has exceeded 18,000,000. These calculations have been made by Jonnes, the celebrated French physician; and it is estimated that they aro rather under than above truth. THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, OLD BAILEY SESSIONS, WunsEspAy, SEPT. 11. Be.njanan Bettjarain, of the Jewish . persuasion, was found guilty in the course of the session for receiving, well knowing them to have been stolen, goods (to a large amount in value), consisting of an immense quantity of lutestring, silk, and sarcenet, which had been stolen from warehouses 'in the city. It was stated that the prisoner was a wealthy man. This day he was sen tenced to be transported fur fourteen years. MI the trials having been gone through the learned judges' retired. _ . . The Recorder then discharged the Petit Juries, with the thanks of the Court for their long and arduous labours. The next session was, by proclamation, fixed for Thursday, the lith October next. The business of the session being closed, the Recorder passed sentence of death on the following persons, namely:—Henry Perry, for robbery on the person ; William Field, for maliciously : stabbing; Daniel Clarke, for house-breaking and larceny; Ed mund Pecker, fur the same offence; Charles Reynolds, for ma. liciously shooting with intent to murder; James Haris, for rob bery on the person ; Robert Wright, for the same offence; John Reynolds, tor the same offence ; John Williams, for house breaking; John Willis. otherwise Hutton, for the same offence;` Thomas Jonson, for the same offence; Lewis King, for em bezzling a letter containing Bank-notes, while in the service of the Postotfice ; Joseph Stedwell, for robbery on the nerson ; William Tilbury, for house-breaking and larceny; 'George Treagell, for maliciously stabbing ; George Russell, for burglary. On Thomas Ready being brought up . for judgment, he having been convicted of manslaughter in having taken part in a prize fight in which a man was killed, the Recorder said that the court had taken the case into the fullest consideration, in so far as the prisoner's conduct was concerned in assisting at the il legal transaction which terminated in death. They had come to the conclusion that the prisoner's conduct was not marked with circumstances of aggravation like many others who assisted on the occasion. On the contrary, they were willing to hope that he had shown humane feelings, and that he had tried, though unable, to control the misconduct of others. They trust ed that this would be a solemn warning to him to abstain from joining in transactions of this nature, of which the consequences were so often fatal. With this hope the court had decided to sentence him to be imprisoned two months, and to be then dis charged. The other prisoners were sentenced to various terms of im prisonm ent in the House of Correction. LONDON POLICE REPORT. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE POOR Laws.—The parish officers of St. Giles's brought a number of Irish paupers (principally young women, either pregnant or witifamilies, who had been left by their husbands behind for the inirpose of gettin o . ,, them passed to Ireland at ihs , expense of this country) before Air. Chambers, in order to have them sworn to the truth of their examinations, preparatory to' passing them back to Ireland. One of the Irish paupers was a strong, young, labouring man, and when Mr. Chambers disco vered-that the parish officers were about to pass him with the others, he inquired why they attempted to pat the country to such a considerable expense, when the Man was perfectly able to walk back. The overseer replied, that the man had only been in the parish for a very short time, and it had been thought the most advis able course to get rid of him in this way, in order to avoid a permanent burden, especially as the parish had passed his wife back a few days since. _ Mr. ChambCrs—But why not give such a fellow a trifle in money and some food, and let him find his way back ? The rates, which are paid mostly by the shopkeepers of the metro polis, ought not to be applied to the use of such a man as that. Mr. Chambers then questioned the man, and elicited that he had come over for harvesting, and the money which ha had earned he had given to his wife to take with her to Ireland. ' Mr. Chainbers—Why don't you walk after your wife? Applicant—No, the parish must pass me. My wife has got plenty to help her on. I gave her ,E , l, and when she gets balk to Ireland she's got a good home to go to. Mr. Chambers—How old are you ? Applicant—Not five and twenty. Mr. Chambers—l shan't think of passing such a man as you. The poor laws were not made for the use of the young and able bodied. _ _ Applicant—l won't go back. The parish must give me a pass, or I'll stop in it and make them keep me. This last observation was made with so much insolence that the Magistrate ordered the fellow to be put out of the office ; and finding that when outside he continued to conduct himself with violence, the Magistrate directed he should be locked up • until the office closed at three o'clock. . _ _ Another applicant, from the same parish, was James Carr, an elderly man, who from his appearance, had evidently moved at one time in a respectable class of society. He made the fol lowing statement to Mr. Chambers :—He was a native of York shire, but many years ago had gone over to Russia, and, from his knowledge in horses, had been engaged to purchase stock for the Emperor Alexander, and for some of the principal Rus sian Nobility. He amassed considerable property, but a seven years' law-suit in Russia, and a loss of £1,500, had exhausted his means, and he had gradually become reduced in circum stances. About eleven months back he came over to England to collect some money which was owing to him, but he had been disappointed in obtaining it, and being without a farthing in money and all his means gone, be had applied to the parish for a trifle to assist him until he could find au opportunity of re turning . to his family in Russia. The parish had answered his application with a piece of bread, but refused to do any thing else, consequently he was obliged to wander about the streets all night, having no money to procure a lodging. Mr. Chambers said he would take care that the parish gave him sufficient relief until such time as an application could be made on his behalf to the Russian Ambassador. The Magistrate having spoken to the Overseer on the subject, it was agreed that the applicant should be sheltered in the work house for the present. Mr. Chambers then questioned the man more minutely upon his statement, and finding that he had been in the service of Count Nesselrode, from whom he had received a certificate, speaking in high terms of his character and abilities, the Ma gistrate wrote a letter to Prince Lievep, making mention of the particulars of the applicant's case, and despatched it by one of tho ofKcoro. Mr. Chambers gave the man a small sum for his present use out of the poor-box. EMIGRATION TO THE WEST INDIES. (FRoat FELIX FARLEY'S BRISTOL JOURNAL.) A gentleman of this city, who has just returned from the West Indies, informs us that a strong desire is mani fested among the planters of St. Vincent, Grenada, and several of the other islands, for a supply of able agricul tural labourers from this country, to assist in the cultiva tion of their estates, and to bring into use a vast quantity of land at present unproductive. Now that slavery is virtually abolished in the colonies, and the negroes con sequently freed from those restraints which were deemed necessary for die welfare both of the proprietors and the blacks, the colonists naturally entertain great anxiety for the future ; and their object in seeking to obtain the assistance of labourers from England is not merely that the cultivation of their estates should proceed advan tageously,—it is coupled with a feeling of humanity highly honourable to them; they conceive that the example of industrious habits set them by the emigrants would sti mulate the blacks to exertion, and thus accelerate that amelioration in their condition which it has been the object of the Legislature to effect. We extract the follow ing particulars of tne plan and its prospective advantages from the Morning Chronicle, to which paper they were furnished by the gentleman above alluded to : " It is probable that, ere long, proposals will be laid before the public to encourage emigration to some of the West India Islands. Very exaggerated views are entertained in this coun try relative to the difficulty and danger of agricultural labour in tropical climates. There are several of the %Vest India islands in which, with ordinary care and prudence, illness is very rare among the white inhabitants—where the heat, on au average of six working hours in the day, is but little greater than it is during the month of July in England, and where there are immense tracts of fertile land uncultivated. " In the islands of St. Vincent and Grenada there arc many estates which cannot continue the extent of sugar-cane land for merly in cultivation without additional labourers, and the pro prietors would be very glad to select such from among industri ous, sober, and respectable Englishmen. "The sugar-cane cultivation, however, is not the only em ployment in which European labourers might be engaged %%it'd advantage to themselves and the proprietors. " There is, in the islands before-mentioned, a great extent of fertile land, capable of producing the finest vegetables, arrow root, indigo, coffee, cocoa, &c., which might be brought into productive cultivation. Indeed, there is probably no part of the world where skilful and industrious persons might find more profitable employment than in these islands, which produce everything that can be found in a tropical climate, and where many of the productions of a temperate one could, by care and cultivation ? be much improved. By encouraging the growth of various articles of consumption which, from want of skill and labour, are tio - se fiiecessaril froeurarfoin ifirOiia at high prices; • these colonies would be rendered more independent of foreign support. It is considered that, in addition to the advantages both to the proprietors of estates and the English labourers by this plan of emigration, the islands would be - benefited by having their, local militia strengthened, and a greater security affinded them against local recolt or foreign enemy. " The example of the industrious habits of the emigrants would infuse a new spirit and feeling throughout the labouring class of negroes; agricultural labour would be no longer con sidered (as it now is in the West Indies) a degrading employ ment; the system of working for wages would be more gene rally understood; the external observance of those ties which ought to govern moral and social life would be rendered more • probable; and such a change would be effected in the habits and dispositions of the negroes, as would qualify them to derive the full advantage designed for them by emancipation. "The obstacle - which has hitherto proved most formidable to the employmeut of European labourers in the West Indies is intemperance. From this cause far more fatal consequences are to be apprehended than from the climate; and the indi viduals who intend making proposals to the English peasantry to emigrate, will require that all they employ shall be bound by a heavy penalty not to taste ardent spirits. " Th - e wages which estates would pay to labourers of this de scription may be stated generally as at the rate of £8 sterling per man, £6 per woman, and £4 per boy above ten years of age, annuall3, with a house and provision grounds rent-free, as well as a day per week, exclusive of Sunday, for cultivating. their grounds. Phis would enable them to raise sufficient food for their support, and somewhat to sell besides. A labouring family, consisting of father, mother, and three children (two above ten years of age) might earn as wages, £2'2 sterling per annum, have their house and provision grounds rent-free, live on the produce of the latter, and sell the surplus provisions, which, if they were industrious, would yield them about £2O sterling, in addition. • "A plan of this nature, it is presumed, will be countenanced by the Anti-slavery Society in this country, by all who are -so licitous for the improvement of the negroes, and by those who are favourable to the emigration of the English peasantry. "A part of the proposals will be, that all labourers who go out at their own cost, and work for six months on one estate, shall be sent home free of expense if they do not wish to conti nue in the West Indies." Lord Palmerston is said to have been placed in an awkward predicament for want of a coat! The right lion. secretary was on a visit at Lady Cowper's, when the rather unexpected arrival of the young Queen of Portugal compelled his Lordship to proceed to Windsor. By some mishap . his Lordship's Windsor uniform coat was left behind; and etiquette re quired that he should appear in the royal presence in this particular costume. How his Lordship managed at dinner we do not pretend to know ; but we are told his Lordship appeared at court in what is vulgarly called " a Monmoath-streetfit COBBETI"S LETTER 7,T) THE PEOPLE OF PRESTOY The following, extract is taken from the Register of Saturday last:— " You will observe thatby Wood's being provided, Mr. Stan ley has come in for Preston very quietly. You will further observe, that John Wood, before his promotion to this post, went to Manchester and beat up for Poulett Thomson; went thither and made speeches fur him, and wanted to come and make speeches on the hustings on the day of nomination; so that here he was, at Preston and at Manchester, working . for the brother of one cabinet minister and for a cabinet minister himself, in order to provide them with seats in Parliament. His reward is, a fat and lazy post, of sixteen hundred pounds a year, which ought not to cost the public three hundred pounds a-year ; and the business of that post is, to squeeze from your blood and bones those taxes, against which he inveighed, in his speeches to you, with ad the bitterness which belongs to him, and with all the force which his puling talents admit of. " What you are to do hereafter with regard to this man; whe ther you should let him remain to swallow his reward in quiet, or make your complaints to the Parliament, on account of the monstrous transaction, of laying eight hundred pounds a-year upon the public, iu order to provide a post for this your late re presentative, is a matter that we will talk about another time ; but, as you have been, though innocently, the cause of this piece of oppression on the people, it will, think, become you to lead the way in an endeavour to obtain redress. The fault which you have to find is this : not that this Wood is a fat-taxer; but that a load of eight hundred pounds a-year has been laid upon the people, iu order to give him his fat posts; and that this never would have been, had not a base faction of Preston de ceived a majority of the voters of that place, so as to induce them to give, him a seat in Parliament. "Now, let us turn to his auxiliaries at that election, of whom roaring Rushton was the leader. I was sure that this man was in pursuit of public money at that time. In a year or two af terwards I heard of his being in preparation to "go to the bar." "Go to the bar," said I; " what should he do there ? Roaring will do nothing at the bar! Oh no, it is not the bar that he is going to: he is going to the CRIB." I should be a pretty cox comb if I were to pretend to be a lawyer; but, I should be the greatest hypocrite that ever lived, if 1 pretended not to know a thousand times as much law as roarint , Rushton. Well, there he is at CRIB, already. He cannot have been called to the bar above a year or so. He did not enter, I believe, 'till about six years ago: he has not, therefore, been at the bar above a year at the most. At no assize at Westminster Hall, at no quarter-sessions, at no police-office: at no petty-sessions, even have we heard of the roa,rin,„_.. of Rushton; but, it seems., that we are to hear of him in the House of Commons : not to hear him roar there, God forbid! but, to hear of him as one of the sages of the law, who have been appointed by royal commission, to frame a code for the reforming of old corporatiohs and for the establishing of new ones. Gracious God! Why, the per sons to perform this task ought to have been profound lawyers; lawyers thoroughly skilled in all the ancient laws and customs of the kingdom ; in tenures of every description ; in the rights still retained of all the guilds and fraternities and chartered establishments. Two men, at least, of this deScription, associs ated with magistrates well known for their impartiality, and deeply interested in the well-being of the kingdom; such a commission, having the most learned of the judges occasionally to advise with, is what ought to have been, and without any re gard whatsoever, to any of the distinctions of party-politics. Instead of this, we have a set of whom Rushton forms a part : this roarin,g, bellowing, electioneering wrangler ; and this, too, upon the bare pretence that he is a barrister. Were he really profound; were he every thing else that we could ask, his want of experience would be more than a sufficient objec tion. He has been a mathematical instrument vender, and a book-selling newspapering man, all his / life-time; and is this a man to settle some of the most intricate, and, at the same time, most weighty concerns of this kingdom ? He has absolutely nothing but the piece of black stud that covers his body, and the buzzely bunch of white hair that covers his head; but, he roared for John Wood at Preston, and John Wood gave way to young Stanley, and pleaded fur I'oulett Thomson at Man chester ! _ _ _ . " However, the House of Commons, though far from having Pleased the people in all respects, will have the puwer to regu late the supplying of the crib, and, of course, regulate how much roaring Rushton shall eat out of that crib. This is a main concern with roaring Rushton, who, if he think that this commis sion is to last for ever, most grossly deceives himself. We will have his name down, and the sum put against it. A correspondent asks me, "Ought not the Whigs to send out another hungry batch of commissioners to inquire whether the sun continued to rise in the morning as he used to do ?" This game of commis sions is up. Carrying on a government by commissions is what we shall not stand. Rushton thinks that he will have a retired alloranee, at the least; and he deceives himself. The ministers had not the courage to propose to give money to the fellows that they call the poor-law commissioners, though they have piled together writings' that would load a jack-ass. They made a charge for the charity commissioners ; but did not give the names, lest, I suppose, we should see that of the father of the member for Leeds; and they promised that that com mission should speedily be brought to a close. Roaring Rush ton will hardly make a charge against us for loss of practice : ' if he should, we will call upon him/for a return of the number of briefs and the amount of the fees that he has held since he was called to the bar : this would put roaring Rushton to his trumps, I believe. As to John Wood he will plead loss of practice, to a certainty ; but, if we put hint to the test of briefs and fees, we shall pretty soon pull his head out of the crib." AMERICAN GLEANINGS. Letters from New Orleans, dated the Bth instant, state that the prospect of the crops of both cotton and sugar, had not been better for several years, and that the place was extremely healthy. When William Plumer was Governor of New Hampshire, he appointed Mr. John Harvey, who had long kept a tavern in Northword, to a vacant seat on the bench of the Common Pleas. The Chief Justice (Atkinson,) was at dinner table with a party of friends when the appointment was made known, on which he filled a glass, and drank to his new associate — "Here's to the honourable Judge Harvey—may he give as good satisfaction on the bench as ho did at the bar !" AUGUSTA, (Georgia,) August 12.—During the last week our city has been visited with frequent heavy showers of rain, accompanied with much thunder and lightning, which has caused the river within the last day or two to take a considerable rise—it is now all over the lower wharfs, and should it continue rising, (which it will, no doubt, as it still rains hea vily,) it will do immense damage to the corn fields along the river, many of which will be entirely swept off, should the water cover the upper wharfs. Our stock of cotton now on hand will not reach over 1,000 bales—it comes in very sparingly, in fact there is but very- little expected—it meets with ready sale at 12 (& NA cents., prune would command 15. Our city at present is very healthy, butthese heavy rains it is feared will make it sickly. —P.S. Nine o'clock.—The river is now on a level with the upper wharfs, and is still rising—it has ceased raining. The damage that will be done to corn plantations will be immense, should the river rise two feet higher, which in all probability it will, as front what we can learn the rains have been also very heavy in the' interior 'of the state. _ " THEY SAY."—Upon terms and technicalities one might write and talk as loag as he could hold his pen or move his tongue.

The militia laws, if we judge from the Philadelphia papers, are in bad odour in that city. The citizens will neither muster or pay tine. The Gazette of Thursday gives a ludicrous descrip tion of the mishaps of a collector, named Hurlick, while en gaged in his " profession," as that paper terms it. He is col lector for the regiment formerly commanded by the renowned Col. Pluck. We make the following . extract:—" Yesterday afternoon, he was observed in the vicinity of Noble and Front streets, with a roll of militia bills, and his eternal green bag, and no sooner observed, than the whole neighbourhood was in commotion. The streets were filled with men and women, cats and dogs; the windows were blocked up with human heads— men left their business to note the wonderful scene. For a time, silence prevailed, and the multitude awaited the shifting of the .scene iu breathless attention. "There goes Huriick,' at length shouted a yellow headed urchin, which was the signal for the commencement of a grand attack. ' I lurrah fur the mad dog,' said another, and ' mad dog, mad dog,' was heard in all direc tions. Deal him gently,' shouted a . third, followiug the .cry shoWer of stale eggs, from a barrel full, whieliliad boon placed mn a convenient spot for the use of the mob. • Then ensued such an uproar as the people of the Northern Liberties never before witnessed. Hurlick ran—the mob pursued, shout ing and pelting—he entered a private house, went through, and made his escape by a back door, but was seen and followed. He jumped into a pig-pen, but was glad to escape with the loss of his coat tail. Again he ran, and again he was pursued, the cry of mad dog !' still resounding in his cars. As a last resort, when neariy exhausted, lie opened a cellar door, and jumped down. The celiai was halt' full of water, and souse went the unhappy collector up to his middle. Here he remained for some time—the mob seeing, the predicament iu which he was placed, molested him no farther, and after a time he was taken out and sent home."—New York paper. DUTIES OF AN EDITOR.—Of the multitude of persons who are regaled every morning or evening with an ample sheet filled with literature, politics, entertainment, Advice, morals, and news, how few have any conception of the labour of hands and brain which the preparation of it has cost. The whole time of several individuals has been devoted to afford him the amuse mentof an hour or two. An editor has, indeed, a hardlife of it. He must know every thing, hear every thing, read every thing, and give an opinion upon every thing. He must accommodate himself to an infinite variety of tastes—to the young and the old, the grave and the gay, the sentimentalist and the man of business, the countryman and the cit. He must be all things to all men ; he must offend no man ; he must instruct, amuse, and inform. He must never lose his temper, happen what will. And yet, with the best intentions in the world, he is constantly liable to give offence. A subscriber writes a communication which has neither sense nor grammar, rhyme nor reason; it is rejected; the writer comes up foaming at the mouth to take off his name from the subscription list, aud is our enemy for ever after. And then an editor has always a regiment of kind friends who drop in upon-him every day to read his papers and give him advice. Some tell him thiit his paper is too light and trifling; others, that it is too heavy and dull ; sonic that it is too senti mental, others, that it is too business-like ; some complain that we are lukewarm in the cause of temperance, others, that we are harping upon that string till all moderate people are dis gusted with it; and to all this we must not only be resigned but grateful. The toils of an editor know neither end nor inter mission. The lexicographer comes at last to the end of his alphabet; the galley slave reaches his harbour; but his labour is renewed with the rising sun of every day. In vain.Nahant woos him with its cool breezes; in vain Niaga,ra foams and thunders aud decks itself with rainbows; in vain the Katskill displays its shady bowers. An iron hand grasps him aud keeps him at home. lie must pace the hot side-walks the whole sum mer long, and breathe the lazy city air. In the fiery dog-days he must rack his brain—already as dry as a sucked orange—for something to tickle the maw of that insatiable monster, the pub lic. He must always be on his post. And for all this he must be often content with nothing but the approbation of his own conscience—a noble reward, truly, but ; unfortunately, a thing too etherial to he-coined into wend and butter.—Boston Mercan tile Journal. FOREIGN INTELLIGE.NCE. We have received Madrid Gazettes to the 3d instant; they contain no news, nor do they present any intelltence from Portugal of a date later. than that we have already given. The following,. extract of a private letter is, however, interesting. We have no doubt that much of the intercepted correspondence published by the Time; was a forgery : At a court of ministers held yesterday, and presided by the King, the Count d'Ofalia proposed the question of sending a .representative to Lisbon, in case Dom Pedro should be suc cessful. This question was strongly opposed by his colleagues, and particularly by M. Zea, who declared that his intimate relations with the Duke of Wellington prevented his coming to a resolution on that point until he had received instructions from his grace. On the other hand, it has been decided that in case of Bourmout being defeated, he should be received in Spain. A system of rigour seems to be the order of the day. A word spoken in favour of Dom Pedro is sufficient for a man to be arrested by the Celados, who, for some days past, are found in every place of public resort. Count Torreuo, who lately arrived at Madrid from Paris, has received orders to leave it within three days, and return to France, unless he prefers going to some town in Spain, where he would be in a state of confinement. Whilst the Madrid Gazette of the 3d publishes a bulletin an nouncing that the King is perfectly restored to health, private letters of the same date state, that although less suffering, Fer dinand is still confined to his room. The Indicateur of Bordeaux gives the following from Madrid, under date of the '2d instant :—" Captain Velasco, who was charged with the task of discovering the men who robbed the courier of the English ambassador, has succeeded. Out of five who were known to have been engaged in the outrage, three have been taken, one has been killed, and one has made his escape. It will now be ascertained whether they were common robbers or whether they were political agents. As a reward for his activity, Captain Velasco has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant - colonel . In the intercepted Portuguese corres pondence, as will be seen on referring to the Messenger of Aug. 20, M. de Saraiva states that Baron Neumann, counsellor of the Austrian legation, declared that the governments of the three northern Powers highly applauded Dom Miguel's reso lution of taking Marshal Bourmont into his service. The cabinet of Vienna has conceived this allegation worthy of au answer, and has charged the Austrian Observer with the task, which it has executed in the following terms :—"Amongst the pretended letters from the agents of Dons Miguel, said to have been found at Lisbon, and published in the English journals, is one, in which mention is made of Baron Neumann, and of conversations he had with Marshal Bourmont. We did not copy this letter, because we doubted its authenticity. We are now authorised to declare that all that relates to this subject is either an error of M. de Saraiva, or an invention of those who published the correspondence. The contradictions appa rent in the letter of M. de Saraiva prove either that it must be surreptitious, or that it is full of errors. We ask, how could Baron de Neumann desire M. de Saraiva to introduce 111. de Bourmont to him, when he bad been previously presented, as the letter itself states? How could Baron Neumann signify to M. de Saraiva, through the secretary to the Spanish embassy, that he wished to see M. Bourmont immediately after his arrival, since it is said, in the same letter, that the intended arrival of M. Bourmont in London had been announced to Baron Neumann by M. de Saraiva himself? Would not it have been more natural that Baron Neumann should have made that request directly to M. de Saraiva ? Finally, the letter states that Baron Neumann declared that the three Powers highly applauded Dona Miguel's resolution of taking M. de Bourmofit into his service. This never could have been said by Baron Neumann, because neither his own government, nor those of the northern Powers, were acquainted with this intention, and certainly Baron Neumann could not have taken it upon himself to snake such a declaration. Under these circumstances we are fully warranted in doubting the authenticity, or, at least, the accuracy of the whole corres pondence. PAGANINI!!

" DLCUS" is received, as he will perceive at the close of a long article on abuses in the department of the Customs. We needed not either his information or his prompting on the only point in his communication which we have thought worth notice; the remainder of his letter is altogether be neath it. frbt ilibtrpool Astanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 17,1831 We are in hourly expectation of important intelligence from Portugal, but at a late hour last night nothing had arrived, the substance of which we have not already com municated. It is clear, however, even in the absence oS, confirmatory facts, that his MAJESTY'S ministers have re solved to divert the public with a game of war. Having acquitted themselves so admirably at court and in Parlia ment, they are anxious to try their talents in the tented field, by engaging in the contest now raging between the rival princes of the House of Braganza. The young QUEEN, it is said, is to be escorted to Lisbon by British troops, and transports are already in waiting at Cork for that purpose. If it were not a serious subject we should certainly re joice to see the Whigs engaged in a hot war. They are just the heroes to make a dash in military and naval war fare, and if they do no mortal damage they ale quite sure to keep the world in good humour, bursting out now and then into uproarious shouts of laughter. They have only to send an armament of five or six thousand men to attack BOURMONT in the lines of Torres Vedras, and then will begin a struggle compared with which that of the last twelve months has been but child's play. The mo ney is wanting we know,—the sinews of war are in ad mirable disorder—but they have only to begin, and no doubt the reformed Parliament will grant them supplies commensurate with their gallantry. The only difficulty is, that if they once.comMenen; there is no living man can tell where or when they will end. The conference between the allied sovereigns of Austria, Russia, and Prussia at the present moment is rather omi nous, and calculated, perhaps, to damp their ardour. It is obvious enough that the state of affairs all over Europe cannot be tolerated much longer without producing some terrible explosion, and this it is the interest and the duty of these monarchs to prevent. Civil war rages in Por tugal, Spain is divided by two powerful parties, Louts PHILIPPE has a very fragile hold of the Bourbon crown, the differences between Holland and Belgium are as far from being adjusted as ever, the Swiss cantons are in a state of revolt, and England that once took the lead in upholding monarchical institutions, and in the pacifica, tion of other states, is now reduced to the dimensions of a third-rate power, feeble at home, discontented in her colonies, struggling with debt, faction, and revolution. In this alarming position of affairs it is natural that the northern powers should feel uneasy and anxious to settle what we have disarranged, and to stay the march of re volution, which is the march of blood. Any interference on our part in the Portuguese struggle may prevent an ami cable adjustment. We may conquer Portugal, but the people of that country will never again be reconciled to English dominion, or to the adventurer who has thus thrust himself upon them by means of foreign bayonets. The paltry cunning evinced by Ministers at the close of the session, in perpetrating some of their vile jobs, would do discredit to a Jew pedlar, and must, if any thing will, open the eyes of the people. The prebendal stall of Westminster, vacant by the death of Dr. TOURNAY, was permitted to be vacant for several months, in fact during the greater portion of the session, in order that it might quietly and without discussion or parliamentary inquiry be conferred upon the Prime Minister's brother, Dr. GREY, Bishop of Hereford. The first Lord of the Treasury seems determined that no patronage worth using, no living worth taking, shall go out of the family ; SEPTEMgER. and yet so conscious is he of the grossness of this p arti- ", lity, and the meanness of this avarice, and the greedy and grasping propensities. of himself and his connections, he is compelled to resort to every sort of paltry shifttlo order to elude public censure. This is the rninilr o who boasted that he would govern without patronagei : c that all his measures should stand or fall by public OP nion ! He took credit to himself for acting upon P rirke ,c " pies widely different from those acted upon by form er au ministrations. The Tories were represented as c orrupt and profligate—as having founded their gover nments upon patronage, lavish expenditure, sinecures, and P 91 1: sions ; but the Whigs were to be immaculate —apt OP economical, but impartial—not only pure, but also ab° ` e suspicion, distributing with perfect equity and fairn es3 _, the gifts of office to the ablest and most meritorious "* our public men. This was the boast—these the pretensions o f th th : Whigs ! We were not su;prised by either the one o r other; for such professions, delivered with their to l * swagger, are quite characteristic of the most dish onest, party in England. We were, however, surprised to - se vo that so large a portion of our fellow-countrymen ' We id credulous enough to repose confidence in them—so s til l ) as . to imagine that the Whigs were sincere, or had BO' even the most remote intention, to fulfil their pled But the overweening credulity of the people is their Co, cern—not ours. If they have been imposed upon , 9 every act of the present administration proves that th e ! have, it was not from lack of forewarning and 21 10 1; tion. They have lived to see every profession of Whigs falsified or deliberately violated by the present° • nisters. They have seen more jobbing, more corruPt i9 ; and more abuse of patronage and the emoluments of fice, within the last three years, than ever took • P 19 6: under any Tory administration. From Lord Baounoo 9' legal reforms, down to Mr. SPRING RICE'S fiscidrt 7 lotions, every thing has been . a job, a rank job, and ""„1 thing but a job. From the officers of the Anal houSehe", down to a trumpery clerkship in the stationery eir Tee ' every change, every appointthent, has been.a job. 111119 : the Archbishop of Dublin down to the humble of a Scotch kirk the taint of favouritism and faction passed over all. One family alone monopolises mor e - a.l crative offices in the church a n d u n d er th e cro wn, 1 13. 1 gi Cr reign embassies and treasury appointments, than any tell of the oldest Tory families in the country. Talk of tb MELVILLES, the BERESFORDS, the BATHURSTS, indee d the name. GREY swamps them all There is more pub° money received by that family than by the whole oft established clergy of Scotland, or by two thirds of w" , working clergy of England. It is h re true that these offices must be filled; but wr.°••• goes the boasted purity and impartiality of the Vinis when one or two families hold the majority of them , 95 if no talent, nopurity, no merit, no sense, no experience' no knowledge of business, could be found beyond th elr f pale ? Is this a just, or honest, or liberal distribution ' patronage ? Does a minister receive his appointm ent merely to enable him to provide for his family? VT° have heard such a charge brought against Tory min is : , ters; but we have never yet seen anything likea ter cation of it except in the conduct of the Whigs—of -411 . : very men who during their whole lives have declaitnr in the most unmeasured terms against the abuses of Pr tronage ! . It is equally true that the ministers do not confer ' their patronage upon the members of their own familie s for this would be impossible. Nor do we complain • their placing their own political friends and dependen ts, in responsible and lucrative offices, provided they severally competent to discharge the duties. All this , it : perfectly fait. The steady hack must have his corn' The thick and thin supporter must be provided 1.(4 : - The old scavenger must have his broth as well as I'! s broom. The horn-blower must have his malt. All th' s We admit is reasonable enough ; but what we do plain of is, that old and efficient officers, in the prime °I. life, are unnecessarily pensioned off to make too t. lf some six-and-eightpenny lawyer who has made him° useful to a minister by playing the part of Caliban in t' , Ie tempest of an election. This we say, is a most profliga t : abuse of patronage. It is moreover a most insultine mode of meeting the demands of the people for a reclue tion of the public burthens. It is a sort of econoli which pays forty shillings for what might be obtain elsewhere for twenty. But the Whigs are not content with-the abuse of „a l patronage as naturally falls to their share as Ministers ° the Crown. They actually create patronage in n rclert7 make it subservient to their purposes. What are n i those roving commissions and bands of political tinke rs who are ttsrersing the country in every direction but 19 ", many new-made jobs, giving bread to quacks at the 0 . tiontl expense ? What in the name of all that is Graf or Whiggish can PARKES the Birmingham attorad know of the charters, privileges, immunities or other, municipal rights of the corporations of England ? can our own towering patriot, the unbribedand unboug h Mr. RUSHTON, know of law, to entitle him to elan:tie' ancient records or unravel complicated enactments ? question if he can read black letter.

They may be immense lawyers,. their fame has not got beyond the back seats at the . I ' 9 6 or the attics of some Inns of Court. In short these all jobs—tubs to the unions—sops to the reformer' walking advertisements in favour of the future intenti°9 of a now despiseiand unpopular administration.
