114 mf:rial Parlianunt. HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, AuGusT POSTOFF ICE. The Duke of RICHMOND presented an account of the number of ship-letters sent by the General Postoffice to the Uuitcd States of America by other vessels than the regular packets. This account would show that the Postoffice had sent letters by every conveyance without waiting for the regular packets, and would disprove one of the statements made in a petition on the subject which had been presented to the house. On the motion of Lord A UCKLAND, the Factories' Regulation Bill (with two amendments) and the Tea Duties Bill were read a third time and passed. BANK CHARTER BILL. The Earl of RIPON moved the third reading of this bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON objected to the whole of the ar rangement as between the Bank and the public, but he parti cularly objected to the clause which made Bank notes a legal tender to the amount of £5 and upwards. He thought, though he did not agree in the principles of the measure, that the legal tenderclause should be extended to £lO instead of £5, and he was disposed to move an amendment to that effect. The Earl of RIPON said, that the legal tender clause was not sought for as a boon by the Bank, nor was it offered as a boon. to the Bank by the Government. It was proposed as a security to the country gendrally, and to the country banks in particular. He had heard no argument to show that it would be in any respect dangerous to the country. He saw no reason for alter ing 111'2 legal tender clause from £5 to £lO. The Duke of WELLINGTON moved his amendment, substi tuting £lO in the legal tender clause insteadof £5. The amend ment was negatived, and the bill was read a third time and Mussed. 'WARWICK ELECTION.-EXPLANATION. The Earl of WAR was anxious to take the opportunity of saying a few words to their lordships on the subject of some severe charges which had been made against him in another place. and which had found their way to the public through the newspapers. He was absent from England when these charges were made, and one of the first intimations of them which he had received was from a letter written to him by the noble viscount, the Secretary of State for the Home Department. He regretted that he had not the advantage of havipg the whole of the documents fully before their lordships, as he was ready to meet them all. lie came to England as soon as he could. after he had heard of the affair, ready to meet any charge that might be brought against him. (Hear, hear.) All he could now say was, that he denied those charges altogether (hear, hear), and that of any malpractices with respect to the election for the borough of Warwick he was as innocent as any one of their lordships. (Hear, hear.) As to an advance of pecuniary assistance in matters relating to the election, he would not then enter into any details, further than to say, that he was wholly innocent of any application of money to any other than strictly legal purposes. He most positively denied that he had t iken any part, or that any part was taken by his desire, in the election for Warwick, beyond the advance of a sum of money for what he knew to be strictly legal purposes. Personal part he had taken none whatever ;n the election, and though he was represented in the journals of this country, and even in some of the foreign journals, as hating taken an active part in the olece time for Warwick, he had taken no part whatever. He had, on the contrary, studiously kept away from the borough, or from any interference with respect to it. As to money, it was true that he had directed a sum to be paid on account of his relation, but for purposes strictly legal. There was a registration going on which required certain expenses, which expenses, he re peated, were strictly legal; for that purpose alone the money was intended, and it it were applied to any other, it was with out his knowledge and consent. He had studiously, and at considerable inconvenience to himself, kept away from the place for a time before and during the election, and he knew nothing of what teok place until long after it happened. (Hear, hear.) He felt it necessary to state thus much in his own de fence. He was sorry that the whole of the evidence was not before their lordships, as he was ready to go into the whole of it, and prepared to meet any charge that might be brought against him. He thanked the noble viscount whose letter o him had given him the opportunity of coming forward as soon as he possibly could to meet the charge; and all he would add was an expression of his regret that the whole evidence was not before the house; and a repetition of his readiness to meet any charge that might be brought against him. (Hear, hear.) Lord WyNForto, adverting to the Sea Apprenticeship Bill, expressed a hope that it would not be allowed to proceed further until the report of the poor-law commissioners should be before their lordships. The Duke of RICHMOND consented to drop the bill for the present. session, but he thought it was one which ought to be renewed in the next session. The order for the third - reading of the bill was then discharged. TITHES STAY OP SUITS' BILL. Lord WESTERN made a few.observations, which were almost inaudible in the gallery, to show how useful this bill would be in putting an end to the litigation which had commenced be tween the clergy and their parishioners, and in suspending the progress of that excitement against the church, which, it con tinued, must be pregnant with danger not only to the interests of the church, but also to the interests of rel►gion itself. He understood that suits had been instituted already against 901)0 persons, and, to put a stop to their further progress, he should move that this bill be now read a second time. Lord WYNFORD said that there was a wide difference be tween this bill and Lord Tenterden's bill, of which it professed to be an improvement. That bill was a bill for the regulation of a certain species of property; this bill was abill which singled out one species of property, and prevented the owners of it from exercising that control over it which they could exercise over every other species of property to which: they were entitled. The objections to passing this bill were much stronger than he had imagined them to be when it was first submitted to his con sideration. If there were so many suits commenced as his noble friend alleged, there was a chance that the plaintiffs in many of them would die before the suspension of these suits terminated. The suits would then abate, and to recover the tithes due the snits would have to be commenced de novo by their heirs or ex ecutors, who, in all probability, would know nothing at allabout the matter. Considering that there were upwards of 10,01/0 benefices in England, he really thought itstrange that the num ber of suits commenced was not greater than the number stated by the right rev. prelate (the Bishop of London.) He contended that their lordships had no right to single out indivi duals of a certain class, and to say to them, "The suits which you have instituted for the recovery of what you consider your just' rights you shall not be permitted to proceed further with." As an argument for passing this measure, their lordships had been told that it had been carried through the other House of Parliament by a large majority. Whether it had been so car ried or not, was a point to which their lordships ought to attend less than to the intrinsic merits of the bill itself: but, admitting , that the majority in its favour was so large as had been repre sented, how did it happen that that large majority had not brought in a bill of this importance at an earlier.period of the session, when their lordships might have had time to consider it in all its details? As it was framed at present, it appeared to him to be inefficient for the object which it was intended to ac complish: but, independently of that objection, it appeared to him to inflict upon the clergy various hardships, from which it was the duty of the legislature to protcrt them. For instance, some of them had gone to all the expense of getting their causes ready for trial, and new they were informed that the decisions on those causes were to be indefinitely postponed. He felt him self bound, out of gratitude to the clergy for the benefits which they had conferred upon the country, to protect their interests to the utmost of his ability, and with that view he should now move that this bill be read a second time this day six months. The amendment was agreed to. The bill is, in consequence, lost. TITHES (IRELAND) BILL. Lord MELBOURNE, in moving that this bill be committed, said that he must advert to a declaration of the noble duke op posite, in which he had stated that the resistance to the payment of tithes in Ireland was the result of an organized conspiracy. Now, whether it was the result of an organized correspondence among the different classes of society in Ireland,—which he should call a conspiracy,—or whether it was the simultaneous result of the spontaneous feelings of the people in that country, he was not prepared to say. In either case the result was the same, though the criminality might be different. It became also the more dangerous on account of the minute subdivision of property in Ireland, which led to a multiplicity of claims for small sums due to the clergy in the first instance, and, where those claims were refused payment, to a multiplicity of suits to recover them in the second. 'fhe noble viscount then proceeded to state the terms upon which 1:1,000,0(X) sterling was to be granted to the Irish clergy for arrears of tithes, and the provi sions by which the repayment of that sum was to be secured to this country. After he had made to their lordships a state ment similar to that which we have very recently reported in the Parliamentary proceedings of the House of Commons, he concluded by stating that this bill had been acceded to by the representatives of the landlords of Ireland, who thought it for their interest to take upon themselves this burden. Their lordships resolved into committee on the bill. Some amendments were proposed and agreed to, the house resumed, and the bill was ordered to be reported to-morrow. The following bills were severally read a third time and nassed The Dower Bill, the Bank Notes (Stamp Duties ) Bill, the Inheritance Bill, the Roman Catholic Marriages (Ireland) Bill, the Land-tax Commissioners' Names Bill, the Chancery Offices Bill, and the Edinburgh Community Estates Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR stated that the Commons had made some amendments to the Court of Chancery Regulation Bill which he considered objectionable, though not so much so as to induce him to move that they should be rejected. He would, however, state his objections to-morrow, with the view of pre paring Parliament to retrace its steps in thiS respect in the next session. Adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS, TUESDAY, AUGUST 27. Mr. WA LLE R, from the Woods and Forests, presented at the bar the 10th report of the Commissioners of the Holyhead Roads; also the 10th re p or t o f th e Co mm i ss i o n ers o f hi s Ma jestv's Woods and Forests, Laud Revenues, Works and Build in S, being the fourth annual report of the said Commissioners. —Laid on the table. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY brought up the report of the Committee on the Tithes Arrears (Ireland) Bill, which was agreed to, after a few remarks from the Duke of Wellington and Viscount Melbourne. The bill, with amendments, was then ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The AlerchantSeamen's Wages Bill was read a third time and passed. The Stamp Forgeries Bill was read a third time and passed. The Consolidated Fund (Appropriation) Bill passed through a committee, was reported, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. ..._.._ _ The Church Building Act Amendment Bill and the Civil List Charges Bill, were reported.—To be read a third time on Wed nesday. CIIVNCERY REGULATION BILL. The order of the day for considering the amendments of the Commons on the above-named bill having been read, The Loan CHANCELLOR said, according to the notice which he had last night given, he now rose to offer a few remarks upon the amendments which had been made in the Commons On this bill. To many of the clauses as filled up he entertained no abjection whatever, but there was one exception which he must make to this admission. To one of the amendments he entertained a very great and insuperable objection. The bill had been referred to a committee in the House of Commons, :it'd in conformity with the recommendation of that committee the amendments clad been made. According to the customary course of Parliamentary proceedings, blanks were left in the original bill, in the money clauses, for the House of Commons to till up. Their lordships were aware in the original bill it was Propos e d w i th regard to certain off i cers, that their salaries should partly cons i st of salary and partly of fees, the principal part being in s a l ary; provided always, as he stated when the measure was introauced, that the fees were not to he in the slightest degroe under the officer's control. Now the House of Commons had altered the bill in this way, making the whole of the emoluments in salary, leaving nothing to be added in the shape of fees. In some of the cases probably no objection need be made to the arrangement, but in others he considered it mien to considerable objection, especially among the inferior offiCers. The clerks of the Register and Masters were thus to be paid entirely by salary. The first and second clerks of the Register were each to receive £BOO per annum, and the third and fourth £6OO. The first clerk of the Masters was to have r% fixed yearly income of £lOOO. Now he (the Lord Chan cellor) should say, that as the business of those officers was conducted entirely in private; being only seen by the solicitors and the Masters and Registers, he was of opinion that the proper stimulus to exertion was taken away, by fixing remune ration wholly. by salary. ' He really could not help considering this as an unfortunate arrangement of the Commons. -fie hoped, however, that these officers would perform their duty, but he knew that where fixed salaries were thus made, there was too great a disposition in human nature to get through the business with as little exertion as possible. Ile believed at first the parties might be induced to fulfil their duties, but, after a time he was apprehensive there would be a relaxation of them, and business would proceed less expeditiously. He should be glad to find that he was not accurate in this estimate, and he did not intend to impute any such improper motives to the persons who now filled these offices. If, however, the plan now proposed shou.d not work well, he was satisfied, from the candour which the House of Commons had exhibited, an im provement in the system would not be there objected to. What he had urged as objections to the amendment were felt as such by the barristers and solicitors practising , in the Courts of Equity, and he should call the attention of Parliament again to the subject next session. He now moved that the amend ments be agreed to and adopted. The motion was agreed to, and, after some bills had been advanced one stage, the house adjourned at a quarter to six. LOSDON POLICE REPORT. MAN SION-HOUSE.' On Tuesday public curiosity was most powerfully excited by the examination of Mr. Thomas Cox Savory, of NO. 51, Corn hill, silversmith, upon a charge of having in his possession various silver articles upon which were forged marks of the Goldsmiths' Company. A great number of the most eminent persons in the trade were prbsent during the investigation. Several members of the Society of Friends attended, Mr. Savory being one of that religious class. Mr. Alley attended for the prosecution, which was instituted by the Goldsmiths' Company. Mr. Hobler4jun., appeared as solicitor for Mr. Savory. Mr. Alley stated that the case was one of the most important as regarded the public and the character of the English nation in foreign countries. The practice of forging the marks of the company was, he regretted to say, carried on to a most ruinous and alarming extsnt, and the government were def . :ended and the fair trader injured in proportion. The duty whish was evaded by the forgeries amounted to ls. 6d. an ounce, so that the criminal person could under-sell the rest of the trade, and of course command a very great business. Mr. Savory's shop was furnished with articles which were disposed of at a rate which caused some suspicion that very extraordinary skill was exercised by him, and purchases were made which soon exhi bited the nature of the arrangements by which the trade of the house was carried on. It would require the ingenuity of a casuist to shoe how Mr. Savory could be supposed to be inno cent of the knowledge of the fact, kept up as it was from day to day continuously in his shop. A person named Treeu, whis had been iii the employ, of Mr. Savory, and who had pawned some silver spoons, absconded when the noise was made about the offence, and the pawnbroker at whose shop the goods were pledged, seeing something rather odd about the marks, took them to the ball, where the fraud was instantly detected. Mr. Wood, pawnbroker, of N 0.35, St. John's-street, deposed that he took in pledge about three weeks ago several teaspoons, some of which were pawned in the name.of Treen, and some iu the name of Cook. Upon examining them he suspected that some trick had been played about the marks, and he took them to Goldsmith's-hall, where the marks were pronounced to be forgeries. The initials "T. C. S." were upon the spoons. Mr. John Smith, assayer to the stamp-office of the Goldsmiths' Company, deposed that the marks on the spoons exhibited were forgeries. The King's head, the leopard, and the lion, were all forged. They were well executed. Mr. Georgt; Miles, assay-master of the Goldsmith's Company, deposed that he went on Priday last to Mr. Savory's shop, and examined the plate there. 'lie found about twent-tive or twenty-six ounces with forged "narks. The duty was is. fid. an ounce. Mr. Cope, the marshal, left a person in the shop to take care of the goods. . Mr. William Cox, prime warden of the Goldsmiths' Com pany, deposed that in consequence of information he had re ceived he went, at the desire of his brother wardens, to Mr. Savory's shop, and asked for half-a-dozen teaspoons. There were three persons in the shop behind the counter, and two of them waited upon witness. rlhey handed him the spoons he re quired, and he was satisfied that the marks were forgeries. He asked whether they had any others, and whether the marks of Goldsmith's-hall were upon the spoons. They replied, that if they omitted to have the articles marked at Goldsmiths'-hall the penalty upon each omission would have been £5O. He purchased five spoons for £2, and took them home, and he as certained at Goldsmith's-hall that the marks upon them were forgeries. Mr. Alley.—l 'don't charge Mr. Savory with having sold forged plate himself; I charge him with having possession of it. As I said before, the trade are deeply interested in this in vestigation. Mr. Savory, by evading the payment of the duty, has been enabled to sell a great deal cheaper than other per sons. The fraud is in every respect a most dangerous and de structive one to the fair dealer. Customers who have purchased plate of Mr. Savory have gone into the shops of other silver smiths and reproached them with the dearness of the articles they sold, exhibiting Mr. Savory's goods as a proof of the ex tortionate price of the rest of the trade. Mr. Holder, jun.—Your lordship must not look at this case as TOU would view a charge made against a known offender, whime previous habits would render an inquiry less difficult. This charge has been made against a young man of unimpeach able character, just coming into life, with most respectable friends and connexions, a member of a religious community well known in every part of the world, and respected for their humanity and the correctness of their moral conduct, and most exemplary in their commercial transactions. Mr. Alley.—That's no answer to the positive possession of spoons with forged marks upon them. The Lord Mayor (to Mr. Nobler, jun.)—l know that your client is in excellent hands, and that vou will not let him say a word that may tell against himself; hilt I shall persevere in my determination to examine prisoners as well as witnesses. It was hut the other day Mr. Justice James Parke stated his sur prise, in the course of the trial of two atrocious offenders, that their confessions had not been taken down in writing, and con demned the practice of cautioning prisoners not to say anything that might prejudice themselves on their trial. "If guilty," said the Judge, "the more they told, and the more certain their conviction was rendered, the better. Prisoners are not to be entrapped into a confession : they are to be told it would be used against them, Everything they chose to say should be taken." Now, I consider that the onus lies upon Mr. Savory to account for these forged marks. Mr. Hobler.—We can prove that we have uniformly paid everything which other silversmiths pay. Mr. Jeremiah Fuller produced the books of the company, from which it appeared that Mr. Savory had not made any en try of the place in which the plate be sold had been manufac tured. All that was entered was " Thomas Cox Savory, 54, Cornhill," the conclusion to be inferred from which was, that the manufactory was there. Witness always asked persons making entries where their manufactories were. Mr. Savory, sen., father of the defendant.—They never re quired more than that at Goldsmiths'-hall. They Inive no more than my address, 14, Cornhill, on their books, and they consi der that quite sufficient. Mr. Alley.—All that I can say about that is, that von, too, are guilty of a violation of the act of Parliament, and subject to heavy penalties for not having entered your workshop. The Lord Mayor.—The defendant has certainly deceived the Goldsmiths' Company by not giving them the address of his manufactory. I should like to know how long has this man named Treen, who pawned the articles, been in the employ ment of Mr Savory. Mr. Nobler, jun. prevented Mr. Savory from answering the question, and said that Treeu had not been long in the service of the defendant. The Lord Mayor.—flow did he happen to be in possession of the plate with forged marks upon it? Mr. llobler.—lt might have been purchased at other shOps. Mr. Brook, the silversmith at the corner of the Poultry, and severaLaller eminent silversmiths, here declared, that the im putation cast upon the trade by the observation of the defend ant's solicitor was completely grocindless. No respectable tradesman had plate with forged marks. It was to be found no where but with one man. . The. Lord Mayor.—l shall certainly require bail for the ap pearance of Mr. Savory. The offence with which he stands charged is punishable by transportation for fourteen years. I have an objection to take bail generally, from my knowledge of the effect produced by it upon the minds of the jury; but I shall consent to take it in thin ease, in the present stage of the pro ceedings. Mr. Nicholson, the silversmith of Cornhill, assured the Lord Mayor that persons had walked into his shop, and showing him spoons which they had just bought at Mr. Savory's, said, " Look at these, I got them at Savory's for 4s. 6d. &piece, while you ask for the same sorQof article 65.," just the difference caused by the duty. Mr. Nicholson declared that the plan of under selling in this manner had caused the most dreadful injury to the trade. Men who had a command of money to any extent could not get up plate at the rate Mr. Savory sold it. It was quite impossible; • the trade all knew it, and were long asto nished at the unparalleled cheapness of the plate of that gentle man; but now the miracle was all over. _ _ _ Mi. Savor was then bailed, and left the justice-room. LAMBETILSTREET, SATURDAY, AUG. 2G. During the day a tall Jack tar, well rigge'd, and about three sheets in the wind, stalked into the office, and having doffed his straw castor, exhibded a weather-beaten face, which was still bleedingliom a recent and violent blow. He intimated that he wanted to make a complaint to their honours, and was desired to say on. Jack gave his quid an extra turn, and com menced :—" I am a sailor, d'y see, and am just come home. When I landed I went to look for my wife. She's a bad girl, ye'r honours; and not like me, for I'm a true blue. Well, where d'ye think I found her? Shiver my timbers (giving his trousers a hitch and spitting on the floor,) if I didn't catch her at another man's house, and he had been keeping her for me, as he said. When my wife saw me I axed how she was, and she says to me says she, Lord, is that you ? Well, I thought I knowed your face? (Laughter.) Well, your honours, I turned in there 'cause the man said he'd do for me, and my wife too, quite cheap. Yesterday 1 was paid, but I'm scratched his head. Mr. Walker told him to try back.) He resumed, and said that his landlord took a clean smockfrock out of his bag and wore it without his permission, and for that he told him he. had a b--v sight of impudence; . upon - which, said Jack, he opened a broauside upon me and made a cut at my fore-top. There was a lobster by, and I told him to take the man into custody, but he said he would not. Won't you, says I, then I'll take you, my hearty' (laughter), but he wouldn't stand that, so he made me cut and run, and swore the other chap was in the right." Mr. Walker.—lf the policeman said you were wrong, no doubt you were; so go away, and come again when you are sober. _ _ Jack smacked his hat upon his head, turned his quid, spat upon the floor, gave his trousers a hitch, and looking round the office as he swaggered nut, muttered, " A fine ship 'to be sure, but a d-d rum quarter-deck." DEATH OP TUE COUNTESS OF ABERDEEN.—On Monday night the Countess of Aberdeen expired at the residence of her husband, Argyll-house, after a severe and painfully protracted illness of five months. From the commencement of the illness of her Ladyship no hopes were entertained of her recovery.— Br the Earl of Aberdeen, who was her Ladyship's second hus band, she has left five children—four sons and a daughter,— Information was instantly sent to Scotland to the Marquis of Abercorn of the death of his mother, as well as the other ',ranches of her family.

THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. oa3~szzt~a~rt.~~s~-'..^.~^. FOREIGN LVTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The Quotidienne informs us that the two jesuits who were ,attached to the Duke of Bordeaux have .been dismissed, and that M. de llamas has given in his resignation ; that new ap pointnients have -been made, which it is not vet permitted to disclose ' and that one of our most enlightened * magistrates is to direct the young prince's study of the laws which govern this kingdom. Not belonging to the faction, we can be more circumstantial. M. de-- Damns nas long had many enemies amongst his own party, and in several foreign courts, who have been constantly increasing. At last he declared himself ready to resign his si tuation near the duke, provided it was the desire of the Du chess of Berry ; at the instant this desire was signified to hint he resigned. This was a hard measure for Charles X., but his sacrifices did not end here. The Cardinal de Latil had declared that if the two jesuits who had replaced M. de Barande were removed, and a teacher of philosophy appointed to the young duke, his con science would not permit him to witness such scandal; and he should retire to Rome. This threat so alarmed the old king that all the influence of high foreign personages was required to - make him admit the possibility of such a separation. - After wresting from him all these concessions, it was still ne cessary to enkage him to consent to the appointment of M. de Barande, as preceptor, and to the nomination of M. de Chateau brined to be governor to the prince. This last, especially, was a bitter pill for the old monarch, as he had not forgotten the epithet of perjured, applied to him in one of Chateaubriand's discourses. In fine, that he might drink the cup to the dregs, he was made'to consent to the appointment of M. Cottu, to su perintend the legal studies of his grandson. Such are the appointments which the Quotidienne declines making public. They were to have been kept secret till the majority of Henry V., and to be published then with the great est circumspection. It seems that M. de 'Metternich has hinted to the little court of Prague, that if it plays a part at the coro nation of the last sprig of legitimacy, it must be privately and en fivaille. Austria does not fear to be compromised in her politi cal. position by her guests, although something more may be done for Henry V., or Don Miguel, than mere wishing. GERMANY. DETAIL OF AFFAIRS IN LANDAU. LANDAU, August 15.—Yesterday, in the orders of the day, the lieutenant-general commanding the fortresses exhorted the soldiers to answer the provocations of evil-minded people only by contempt. • The Bavarois da Rein asserts, that on several of the hand bills placarded against the soldiers were these words : "We will beat all who wear the yellow button." . . — After the V verdict of acquittal, the advocate Golvax petitioned ,the government for the provisory release of Dr. Siebenpfeiffer, on the ground \ that, receiving a pension from government of 1,400 francs, it was not to be supposed that he would attempt his escape. He declared that Becker also was ready to give bonds for his provisory release. The counsel for the other pri sOneria have. made the same declaration, and M. Schneider has demanded the restitution of the sabre of honour of Dr. Wirth. The court has sent them before the Correctional Tribunals, who are to try them, with respect to their demand for a provisory release. It has also ordered the restitution of the sword. of Wirth, of the letters of Siebenpfeiffer; and of the lists of costs, ou the ground that these objects do not belong to the correc— tional instruction; nevertheless, justice still keeps possession of the colours of Hambach. SWITZERLAND. The Zurich Gazette announces, that in the sitting of the Federal Diet on the 17th alt., the resole proposed by the commissioners relative to the affairs of Basle were adopted.— This canton, as well as that of Schwytzi has chosen deputies to take part in the proceedings of the Diet; and all the new deputies elected by the twenty-two cantons were expected at Zurich on the 25th. The popular assemblies have resolved to petition the Diet-Ist, To order the arrest of the insti g ators of the civil war, especially ibyberg and LandamannWeber; 2dly, To have them tried by a national court-martial; 3dly, To send the revolutionary prisoners to the regency of Berne; 4thly, To exclude for ever from the Diet the patricians who have been members of the Salmon conference. With regard to the federal compact, the petitioners wish the Diet to consult the people upon so important an affair, by calling upon them to appoint ten persons capable of drawing up a new constitution. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE, By private letters from Basle, dated August 20th, we learn that the excitement was increasing. The Diet of Zurich has ceased its labours. It had admitted the two envoys of Schrovtz, y Messrs. Landamann and Elodever, who had formed part of the Sarnen conference, in which the plots of the priests and pa tricians were conspired. M. Schnell, deputy from Berne, had declared that he would quit the assembly if itadmitted men who had caused so much misery to the people. The inhabitants of Zurich were highly offended,. and have received, we are assured, invitations from several cantons to convoke the people in case of the resistance of the Diet or on the non-execution of the decrees. It is thought that the government of Berne, the most powerful of ail, will support the popular assemblies. The young men and the troops are on its side. I Jearn that M. Schnell has gone from Zurich this morning, to give an account to the Government of Berne of what has passed. The arrival of the Envoys from Uri and Underwald, nominated in the great meeting of the 18th, is spoken of.— They have determined to recognise the Diet, to dissolve the conference, and to send deputies. Basle will follow the exam ple : the councillors have just been assembled for the nomina tion of deputies. At this moment there is great agitation. It is seen clearly that the Diet will not unite with the majority of the nation, and that it has no regard for the public will, expressed, as it is, in every possible manner. This is a dangerous state of things; it is to be feared that the country is about to be thrown into the horrors of anarchy and 'civil war, at the moment that it ap peared to be perfectly secure from them. It is probable that the Central Committee, which is to assem ble on the 25th at Zurich, will take measures conformable to the wishes of the assemblies of the cantons, several of which have unanimously voted for an appeal to the nation. Asa cool spectator, r am convinced that the resistance of the Diet will plunge the country into an abyss of misery, and that the assem blies will be its destruction. In fact, the Diet wishes to bring back the ancien regime, and the assemblies, to drive 'every thing to anarchy. CONSERVATIVE CLUBS. In spite of the denunciations of the Whig, and the sneers of the Radical press, these constitutional associa tions are rapidly gaining ground in every part of Eng land. The Ipswich Journal of last Saturdav contains an account of the first annual dinner of TnE''EAsT Sur- FOLK CONSERVATIVE CLUB, which was held in that town on the preceding Wednesday, (the birth-day of his Ma jesty,) Sir William Middleton, Bart., the president of the society, in the chair. The company consisted of two hundred and thirty gentlemen from Ipswich and its vicinity. Befo're we make our extracts from the Ipswich Jour nal's account of the proceedings of the day, we have to observe, that so far from regretting, we do not regret the absence of the aristocracy from dinners of this kind, at this period, because their presence might appear to ope rate as an inducement to many persons of humbler rank to attend them. Their absence proves that the •country gentlemen, the merchants, the tradesmen, and the honest yeomen of England, do wit associate as Conservatives fci the honour of dining with barons, dukes, or earls, but to skew the world that they are prepared to support the peerage as a body, together with the throne and the altar of their forefathers, from a strong feeling and conviction that their existence is now endangered; and that, unless the progress of revolutionary principles be checked, the destruction of the monarchy must follow, with anarchy and confusion in its train. In this, which we take to be the true Conservative spirit, the highest and the lowest, the prince and the peasant, are alike interested. In his introductory observations the editor of'the Ipswich Jou rnal says, that— " Under all the discomfitures and discouragements which have thickened around the supporters of the British constitution in church and state, we could hardly have anticipated so much spirit-stirring zeal and enthusiasm as was shown ny all present. It has been the fashion of late to talk of the expediency of makin g innovations upon public institutions, because of their unpopularity and the ill savour in which they are viewed; but Wednesday furnished a triumphant negative to the assertions of such dreamers of idle dreams. We could have wished that some of those who cry up the expediency of alteration and re form had been present to hear the burst of applause when any sentiment 'was uttered expressive of devotion to the established order of things;—we could have wished those who, from the prevalence of numberless calumnies have been led to believe the church establishment an alien to the affections of the people, had been present to hear the peals upon peals of applause which followed the toast the clergy of the diocese,' for then, in shame, they would have repented of their folly. It was, inderd,, a joyful sight to see such enthusiasm in so good a cause. The attendance of the aristocracy was but small, so much so as, to call forth expressions of regret from many present; but there was a very large attendance; indeed, the meeting was princi pally composed from the ranks of an intelligent yeomanry, England's best sons, - -whose wish is to do as they would be done by, and who know. how to appreciate the benefits of a set tled and good government. There were present, in addition to the chairman, the Right Hon. Lord Henniker, Sir Edward Kerrison, Bart., Sir Charles Broke Vere, K.C.8.. Lieut. George Broke, R.N., John Berners, Esq., George St. Vincent Wilson, Esq." [A long list of names follows.] In the course of the evening, Sir Charles Broke Vere addressed the meeting, and we regret that we must con tent ourselves with the following extracts : " Various circumstances had of late combined to shake the principles of the constitution; but, under all discouraging cir cumstances, the right way appeared to him plain, namely, to support the throne and the altar. (Cheers.) Because some thing was lost, all was not irrecoverable ; all was not lost. What had lately occurred in Parliament was an evidence of this. Many measures, without much debate, but rather with a scrambling, had been hastily carried through the House of Commons. We had still, he thanked God, three states of the realm existing : two deliberative bodies, and one to give a sanc tion to the proceedings of the other two. Many had thought that the delay occasioned in passing Acts of Parliament was unnecessary; nothing could be more idle than the supposition. It was right "that due time should be given to accept what was right, and reject what was erroneous. Where would the coun try have been had the intentions of ministers been fully carried. The necessary delay had given full time for examination, and some of their plans were rejected, and on many occasions they were compelled to acknowledge them in principle erroneous. The country ought to be thankful to those gentlemen of con-I servative principles in the House of Commons who bad attended so anxiously to the interests of their cause ; ' they ought to be thankful also to the members of the House of Lords, who had been suffering, he might truly say, under extreme persecution. Noble lords had been seen attending in their places in th e House of Lords, offering disinterested and wholesome coun se l, on • questions of vital importance, and then they have turned away in disgust when such counsel has systematically been dis regarded. Although the House of Lords had been threatened, still, by pursuing a right course, they would have no cause for fear. Sooner or later the country would resume a right feeling, and then it would be a consolation to see those principles, for which we, under all disadvantages, had contended, One by one admitted to be beneficial to the country." On the Clergy of the Diocese of Norwich being drank, the Rev. Dr. Etough returned thanks. After expressing his gratitude to the meeting for the kind feeling mani fested towards the clergy, he said— "We (the clergy) may be told, perhaps, in no measured terms, that we ought not to he present, that ours is not the fes tive board, that ours is the still and private life; but surely the ministers of the church are not bound to utter seclusion, are not to be denied the rights of citizenship with their fellow-sub jects. (Loud cheers.) There is a time when they are called on to meet their fellow-citizens, and, by their countenance and example, to encourage them and exhort them to energy in the good work. (Renewed cheers.) There is a time when it is our duty to step out of the common walks of life and assume a more conspicuous character. (Cheers,) And if ever there was such a time, such is the present. (Cheers.) We shall be told that we do not watch the signs of the times ; but I assert we are present because we do watch and do understand the signs of the times. We see danger and are prepared to meet it. I.'eel ing that we have injured no man, we are afraid of no man, and will not sacrifice our rights, or the rights of our successors, when an outcry is raised as wicked as malicious. (Cheers.) Those who have watched the political events of the last thirty or forty'years, and have seen the efforts, public and private, of persons professing the doctrines of political economy, cannot he surprised at the present state of things. Principles, in former times confined to the library of the educated, and inac cessible to the lower and vulgar ranks of life—the principles advocated by Hume, and which sparkle in the pages of Gibbon —are now disseminated among them by cheaper publications, by the open blasphemies of Cathie, or in the more popular pages of the Political Register. While these principles were confined to other classes, or were only to be found in the more expensive works of the library, they might be considered as mere abstract principles, as matters of argument, and were connected with the pages of history, or were visions of romance; but when the works were made more accessible, and when they were entrusted to all, ranks of life—the poor and vulgar, then those principles stalked abroad, breeding infidelity to God and instability to the best institutions of a civilized country. (Hear, hear!) hence has arisen the danger which at present threatens the whole fabric of law and Eberly, and hence has arisen that feeling which has excited our deluded countryman to call, as it were, vengeance down from Heaven to destroy what the accu mulated wisdom of former ages had united to uprear. I have stated causes and effects; the effects arc visibie wherever we (r.o, and in all ranks of society. It is seen in the present outcry „ against the church; it is seen in the councils of those to whose destiny the . interests of this mighty nation are at present en trusted." THE PLUNKETTS. "Make to Yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteous ness, that when ye fail they may receive you into their ever lasting habitations."

ASTONISHING DFFECTS OFAT! AM.—We have received, from a correspondent, the following account of the capture of the Princess Reale, corvette of 2U guns, during Napier's action off St. Vincent:—" Yonr friend was on board the William the Fourth steamer; during the action, and actually went along— side the Princess Reale, and told them he had water enough on board, in a boiling state, for the scalding of three hun dred men, and that he would infallibly parboil them all unless they struck immediately. The amazed crew, who had already felt the unpleasant effect of being in hot water, at once hauled down the colours, and surrendered to an unarmed steamer ! !" When I was a young man I had never heard that oaths were to be judged of according to their expediency. Now that I ant an old man, permit me to lay' befoi e my countrymen the fal lowing fact, which, no doubt, that young nobleman, now as Grey as myself, witnessed in Paris on the 14th J ulv,.foity-three years ago. It has been described thus by some who were pre sent, and who most distinctly heard the words :—Louis XVI. was then King of France. Ills Grand Almoner, the Bishop of Autun, was accompanied by more than a hundred priests, who, on that occasion, thought it "EXPEDIENT" to wear conspicuous silk tri-coloured sashes, in addition to their pontificals, to give more effect and eclat to the grand spectacle; thls bishop meta morphosed himself and his monks into mummers, and made a mockery of religion by thus consecrating a temporary altar in the Champ de Mars. This bishop performed the ceremony in tended to tie solemn, and a TE DEUM was sung by more than three thousand harmonized musicians. The transaction was awful by reason of the immense multitude assembled, as well as by the tinportance at that moment attached to solemn oaths to be - administered at an altar, consecrated by "the Bishop of Antun." An angel of liberty, and the genius of France, hover ing in the air and pointing to the word "CONSTITUTION," were exhibited in a splendid painting. After the 'celebration of a solemn mass by this Bishop of Autun and his assistants, the. Marquis de la Fayette and all the national deputies, on behalf of the people, Inid the following oath administered to them:— " We swear to remain ever faithful to the nation, the law, and the King; to maintain with all our power the Constitution decreed by the Notional Assembly, and accepted by the King; to protect (ac cording to the law, the surety Of persons and property, the circula tion of corn and provisions within the realm, the levying of public contributions, under whatever form they may exist; and to con tinue united to all the French, by the indissoluble ties 01 brother hood." Mons. BonnaT, the Presidentof the National Assembly, and the Marquis de la Fayette, after this oath was repeated, pronounced each of them distinctly and with great dignity, their right arm being extended, "I swear it." The multitude with a general acclamation cried aloud, "We swear it." The King, Louis XVI, then looking steadfastly at the newly consecrated altar, repeated the oath assigned for him in the most solemn manner, and said, "I swear it." The world knows how con scientiously these different personages and persons observed and kept these oaths! This fraternal confederation amounted at least to 500,000 persons, and events have since shown the evil consequences of bending the obligation of a sacred and eternal oath to the standard of any present EXPEDIENCY ! ! ! Have not these levities, vanities, and violations of oaths, drawn down Divine vengeance on that nation ?—Correspondent of Felix Farley's Bristol Journal. PAI7LIA3IEVTARY BOROUGHS.

Too - r n Ryan observes hat the al•plication of pure nitric acid to a carious tooth roduces almost immediate relief of toothache and faceache, without producing the slightest pain. The aci!l must be applied to every part of the decayed surface, and care taken not to suffer it to touch the gum, cheek, lips, or apparel. The mouth should be washed alter the applicatiofi with tepid water. It is much casiet to touch the tooth in the lower than in the upper jaw; and I have never known a single instance in 'which the acid was fairly tried, and completely applied to the decayed surface, without, procuring almost immediate re lief, and without any pain. When the upper teeth are diseased, it is very difficult: to touch the nerve in a small opening, and this is the cause of failure. The remedy may he employed, however del:. ate the patient, even to children and pregnant women.— Meaical and Surgical Journal. • DEATH OF SIR HARRY GOODRICKE, BART. An express arrived the night before last in Arlington street, announcing the death of Sir Hari'y James Good ricke, Bart., of. Ribstone Hall, Yorkshire, a gentleman well known and highly esteemed by a numerous circle of friends, particularly in the sporting world. Sir Harry, who was only in the 36th year of his age, left Yorkshire a few weeks ago, for the purpose of visit ing .his extensive estates in Ireland, which devolved to hird on the death of his uncle, the late Viscount Cler mont, and on which he had given instructions for great improvements, benefiting a numerous and industrious class of the poorer orders. His demise took place at Ravensdale Park, on the 21st inst., and will be seriously regretted by many individuals in that country as well as in this. Sir Harry is stated to have derived a clear in• come of upwards of £60,000 per annum from the pro perty left him by his uncle and his paternal estates in the counties of Norfolk and Yorkshire. He was passion ately fond of the sports of the field, and his stud at Mel ton Mowbray usually averaged between 50 and 60 of the finest hunters • at the close of last season he had 52. We believe Sir Harry possessed no great landed property in Leicestershire ; flan.- his hunting-box at Melton was the constant scene of profuse hospitality during the hunting season. The deceased Baronet was the only son and heir of the late Sir Flarry Goodricke, the sixth Baronet, by Char lotte, sister to Viscount Clermont, and succeeded to the title and- estates in March, 1802. He was unmarried, and we- believe the Baronetcy becomes extinct. The greater portion of the landedproperty, we understand, devolves to the Fortescue KFORD PETTY SESSION. REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—Mrs. Pratt, a middle-aged and respectable-looking female, applied to the bench for its interference to compel her husband to support her.— From her statement, it appeared that she had brought her husband a marriage portion of '£B,ooo, but by his ex travagance he dissipated the whole of that sum, toge ther with a ,trood property of his own, except the rever sion of £l,OOO, which his friends had secured for him from the wreck, and which he now lived upon. In con sequence of his misconduct towards her, she was com pelled, some time since, to leave him, he at that time agreeing to allow her Bs. a.;week for the support of her; self and her four children. This sum lie shortly after wards reduced to 65., and finally would pay her nothing at all; so that at present herself and' her children were reduced to the greatest possible distress. The Magistrates, after expressing their sympathy for the unfortunate lady, advised her, as the best course, and the most certain of redress, to apply to Doctors' Commons for a separate maintenance, which she could do in forma pauperis. The applicant expressed her thanks to the bench for the patient'hearing which had been given her, and was about to retire, when Mr. Sims very humanely handed her a sovereign for her immediate relief.—Essex Stand ard. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. CORK ASSIZES. • LESSEE OF CASEY AND OTHERS V. SAMUEL JERVIS. This was an action, brought to try the validity da lease alleged to have been made by defendant to the father of the plaintiff, in the year 1797. Several persons were examined to prove the handwriting of the subscribing witnesses to the lease. Among them was Mrs. Meagler, who said she was married to defendant's bro ther, Sampson Jervis, and gave it as her opinion that in the do cument now produced the name of Samuel Jervis was written by himself. Cross-examined by Mr. Bennett—How old are you, my dear ? Witness—l leave that to you to guess. Counsel—Well, then you are 25 ? Witness—l'd really expect that so bright and eminent a law yer would make a better guess than that. - -(Laughter.) Counsel—Are you 35 ? Witness—Yes, a little more. - Counsel—Will you swear that von arc not more than 35 ? Witness—lndeed, I will not. . Counsel—Why, God bless me, you have not a grey hair in your head, ma'am ! Witness—Why, indeed, you have a few more, sir. (Laughter.) Counsel—Are you forty? ' Witn'ess—l won't swear that I am quite forty, but I'm very near it. Counsel—When were you married? Witness—l was married on the 4th of September, 1815. Counsel—Flow well you remember the day ! Witness—l dare say, sir, that you too, remembers the day you were married. (Great laughter.) Counsel—l am not very accurate as to the day, but I think I remember the - night pretty well. (Continued laughter.) Counsel—Was it by day or by night you were married? Witness—'Twas by day, sir. . Counsel—What were you when you were married ? Witness—l was a maid. (Shouts of laughter.) Counsel—Do you mean a maid servant ? WitnessNo, but a "maid in all her charms." (Laughter.) Counsel—Did Sampson Jervis ever get tipsy with you ? Witness—No he never did. Counsel—Then you married him, not through tipsiness, but all from love ? (Witness here hesitated, and looked somewhat confused.) Counsel—Come, now, wasn't that the fact ? Witness—Why, then, allow me to ask you, sir, what did you marry yourself for ? Counsel—Hang me, madam, if you'll catch me telling you that easily. (Great laughter.) Verdict for the defendant with costs. LONDON GAZETTE.-TUESDAY, AUGUST 27. INSOLVENT.

THE RIVAL OrisToas.-4 public notice was issued on Wed nesday, announcing that in the evening of that day a discussion woulu take place at the Exchange Dining Room, between Mr. Owen, the pseudo-philanthropist, who has been in Manchester for some weeks, endeavouring to establish .his system of "La bour Exchange Banks;" and Mr. Falvey,. a Itoman Catholic, from Liverpool, who when Mr. Owen was lecturing a few weeks a g o, successfully combatted hiS doctrine of the irrespon sibility of maM The proceedings were to commence at half past seven o'clock, and at that time about four bundled persons had paid sixpence each for admission, and were anxiously and impatiently waiting the arrival of the disputants. Mr. Owen was the first to make his appearance '•• and on the arrival of Mr. Falvey, about half -an hour afterwards; the former ascended the platform, and stated that his name 'had been used in the handbill without his authority, not having had any communi cation with Mr. Falvey on the subject; he therefore recom mended such persons as had paid their money for admission, on the faith of the placard, to demand its repayment. This was received with tremendous groans and hisses by the friends of Mr. Falvey, and with cheers by the Owenites, who were but a small minority of the company; and when silence was obtained, Mr. Falvey-attempted to explain the grounds upon which he had used his antagonist's name ; the suggestion about return ing the admittance money, however, did not appear to suit his views, and he announced that if any individual, after hearing the lecture he was about to deliver, should be dissatisfied, his money should be returned. This was declared to be an excess of liberality on the part of the lecturer, and some of his friends hugged theinselves in the idea that they should have both "stuff and money," as they classically expressed it ; but the Owenites appeared to have no desire to listen to Mr. Falvey's harangue, and with their high priest at their head, they made a movement towards-the door, where they . demanded their sixpences from the door-keeper. This functionary, however, although he was prepared to receive, had no instructions to refund, and the con sequence was, that a regular tight ensued, in which the Owen ites had the worst of it, and the disturbance was oniy quelled by the timely arrival of a stisong body of police. Finding that matters were assuming a serious aspect, and not wishing to be mistaken as an ally of either of the belligerent parties, we made good our retreat, leaving the lecturer, Mr. Falvey, to amuse - his auditors as he best might:—Mancliestes• J! hold.

Sinc e a ti time, the inventor has succeeded in ma k ing grea t improvetii in his machine, which is now admitted to hens.,p e erfect'a"qe operations ,as the bandsickle with all the advantages Of ve' dition and economy.

The argument is this. For every a is or every faculty, wheth er i n man o r i n th e inferior an iri • i t be there seems a counterpart obje c t in ex t erna l na t ure . Let t bo either an appetite or a power ; -and let it reside either in till sentient, or in the intellectual, or in the moral economy - ' 5 ., there exists a somethin g without that is altogether suited t`! o , and which seems to be expressly provided for its gratificat i° is There is light for the es t e ; there is air f o r the l u ngs; the s te t food for the e v er-recurri n g app e tit e o f h unger; th ere is le t for the appetite of thirst ; there is society for the love, wn e , l lo of lame or of fellowship ; there is a boundless field in all e $ objects of all the sciences for the exer c ise of curiosity—lbich word, there seems not one affection in theliving creature, w is not met by a counterpart and a congenial object in the rounding creation.—Chalmer's Bridgewater Treatise. t he PRETTY PICKINGS.—We extract from a London paper a r following paragraph : —" The salaries of the commissioners_ f a pointed to inquire into the state of municipal corporation s a o Scotland are to be as follows—First commissioner £3 OO, id the others £2OO each, for the first two months, and if the intnf be not then concluded to receive one-fourth of the above *l s . for each succeeding month until the termination of their,,, bours. They are also to be all Owed a guinea a day for liv e "; and the amount of their travelling expenses." This " sre et culate" will ensure forty-four pounds seventeen shillings week to one commissioner, and thirty-two pounds seven Sip, lings to an indefinite number of juniors, for two months eer t3 bo exclusive of travelling expenses.

The length of her WO 6 00 ment is about 162 feet, breadth 28 feet, and tonnage nearlY 01 0 tons. We can hardly say too much in praise of this band, s° l of and substantial vessel. Mr. Wood's character as a bull t be steam-vessels has hitherto stood on the top of the list, n?,, a • st present specimen of his abilities, we are certain, will and raise his character still higher as a man of science, indePel i e of of the workmanship, which is very superior. As an insta nt the manner in which the launch was conducted, we ma,' • so tion, that the descent of the Dundee into the Clyde W,pti' swift, smooth, and gentle, as to be almost completely imPere - for ble to the individuals on board of her. The accommodati on , passengers is of the most splendid description, and the stee l : i pi for goods on the most extensive scale. The Dundee, 55 is intended to be a regular trader between the flourishing n r r o. after which she is named and the city of London, is to`)* e tt; polled by two engines of about 120 h o r s e power each, and ri' at ia. of proportionate dimensions,—the largest in Europe,—ma e of fitted up by our ingenious townsman, Mr. Robert NaP e i'll° the Vulcan Foundry, Washington -street, Bromielaw• • sir Dundee reflects the highest credit upon the scientific F tt el Boman under whose superinte n d e n ce s he wa s b u ilt a nd D e r? out for sea..
