Sir—The iraPatience of the public to learn the result of the expedition to China, has led me to devise an ex pedient for gratifyi ng it. The justice of our cause, the cowardice of the Chinese, and the bravery of our troops, do not permit a single individual i❑ the country to doubt what the result nauit he : the failure of the expedition is, in fact, looked upon as an event barely within the limits of possibility. Nothing remains, - therefOre, but to conceive the means and operations whereby this cer tain end has been(for it must now have been) effected ; and after conferrin g with several experienced officers of the army and nitvy, and some old commanders in the - China trade, and after receiving some valuable sugges tions from Mr. Murphy (to whom I beg to tender my thanks) as to the best mode of combining causes and and deducing eoniequenees, I flatter myself that the fol lowicg anticipated despatch to Lord Auckland, the Governor-General of India, will prove not far from the truth " Peking, 25th August, 1840. "My Lord—l have the honour to congratulate your Lordship upon the complete success of the expedition, which you were pleased to place under my command, and to inform you that her Majesty's troops are in pos session of the city from whence I date this despatch, and in fact masters of. the whole Chinese empire, after a course of triumphs which have added fresh lustre and new trophies to the military renown of Britain. I might say of this army, without arrogance, ' we came, we saw, we conquered:' " His ExcellesAesAdmiral.will report in detail to your Lordihipihe brilliant feats of the naval part of the expedition ; I shall, therefore, briefly state that, on arriving at the Bocca Tigris, we captured a war-junk of formidable dimensions, which had been sent thither ap parently to reconnoitre, but which surrendered without firing a shot. Upon interrogating the people on board, in the hope of gaining some . information respecting the preparations of the enemy, their means of defence, the strength of the forts, &c., we found the poor creatures SO paralysed with fear, that they had not the power of artioulation. The officers were in the same condition, or stupified with opium, and the commander of the junk (an Admiral in the Chinese navy) had expired just pre vious to her surrender—whether from suicide, or the intensity of his terror, we could not, of course, ascer tain. Left, therefore, to conjecture, it was deemed prudent to lose no time in sanding forward "the troops to Canton, forbearing from actual hostilities until a gun slsould ba fired by th enemy, and Oleo to strike a sa lutary terror by displaying the superiority of her Ma jesty's arms. " The resolution was soon to be put into execution. Upon reaching the first fort, where the Chinese had en gaged some Portuguese and Lascar gunners, several shots were fired, and one was distinctly heard whizzing above the main-top-gallant-mast-head of the Admiral's ship. A broadside from that vessel, accompanied by three hearty cheers, was sufficient to icy the whole fort in ruins, precisely (to use the Admiral's own words, in a private letter to me) as if it had been made of gin ger bread ;' and the garrison was seen flying across the country, with the utmost precipitation, their tails stream ing in the wind. " The advantages attending this prompt procedure were soon apparent. All the other forts, some seem ingly of great strength, were regularly evacuated as the expedition approached, and as there was no prospect of resistance, the troops were put on board the boats and small craft, and proceeded up the Canton river, exhibit ing rather the appearance of a regatta, than that of a hostile force coming to take possession of the largest empire in the world. a u pon reaching Canton, we found the landing-place occupied by a vast body of persons, and as we Could not be satisfied whether their intentions were peaceable or not, I ordered Mr. Gutzlaff, the interpreter, to go for ward and ascertain the fact. He returned with the gratifying intelligence that they were all friends ; that they consisted mostly of respectable opium -smugglers, in Canton and its vicinity, who not only professed the ut most friendship, but offered to co-operate with us in overthrowing the tyrannical domination of Taon-kwan g ; advising us not to delay for an instant our advance to Peking. Mr. Gutzlaff brought a letter from one of the principal rn n, which I thick your Lordship will be con vinced cot only breathes a warm spirit of attachment to ,he British cause, hut is no despicable evidence of the progress which the English language is making amongst the more influential portion of the Chinese nation, af fording the grand prospect of our language spreading over this vast part of Asia. It is as follows FirA chop sir high, Glad come have you—opium base, you have, we have, eh he bow-wow,* English ho hot —fan-kwei ever for, Han-jin no go down up tea give much ever.' . " Having effected a landing outside the city of Can ton, without the slightest disaster—if I - except- same trifling pecuniary losses sustained by a few incautious officers who, staring about them, suffered their pockets to ho picked by some of the lower order of by standers—l established my head-quarters in the late British Factory, which I was mortified to find stripped of all its elegant furniture, and much deteriorated, the walls being scribbled over with Chinese characters, the . import of"which Mr. Gutzlaff reported to be of the most insulting kind. The characters were accompa nied by rude attempts at caricature—for example, a human figure, with red hair and a blue jacket (no doubt intended for Captain Elliott), was represented hanging upon a gibbet, with a chest of opium dangling from his legs.

Ills front was defended by batteries of great strength, and several rows of breastworks, one behind the other, bristling with cannon. The most experienced of my officers reported that the number of the enemy could ' not be less than 900,000 fighting men. " I thought it prudent to delay an attack till the en ' Suing morning, when I determined to carry the en trenchments by assault, and marching boldly up to thee), covered by a heavy fire of artillery, our soldiers leaped over the breastwork, in the very face of the enemy, who were so astonished that they fled with loud cries, literally choking up every avenue with their dense masses, our troops having nothing to do but to secure the prisoners, who bawled terribly for quarter. I am happy to announce to your Lordship that this splendid victory, which has left in our possession 847 pieces of cannon (most of them, indeed, made of wood) and 96,000 prisoners, was gained without the loss of a single man. " The incumbrance of so many prisoners was soon felt as a serious evil, and I consulted with my officers what had best be done with them : to liberate theta on parole would have been impolitic, without some secu rity for its observance, and these people do not under stand such an obli ga tion ; w hil s t it wou ld b e i mposs ibl e l for us to recognise them again, their faces being so much alike, that when my tent has been crowded with Chi nese, they have appeared to me only as the multiplica tion of one person by a set of mirrors. To have dis missed them absolutely, would only have been to re cruit the ranks of the enemy. A young officer (Cap tam --, whom I beg strongly to recommend to your Lordship's notice) relieved us from this dilemma, by sending in a proposition that we should cut off the tails of all the prisoners and let them go, whereby it would be easy to recognise them if taken in arms again. This • happy idea was immediately adopted, not without great opposition on the part of the prisoners, who implored us to take all they had and spare their tails. These people are extremely fond of tails ; they give this name eves to their money, which at first caused some confusion. " As soon as the necessary arrangements ware com pleted, I put the troops again in motion, and we made forced marches, in order to reach Peking before the panic occasioned by our late victory could subside. Not the slightest demonstration of resistance was exhibited ; the people in the cities offering us tea and food in abun dance, and letting off crackers from their pagodas, in token of rejoicing. Everywhere even the rabble were most attentive and civil, calling out ' Fan-kwei !' mean ing ' foreign genii I' and other expressions of delight, amongst which I could recognise Opium, opium I' The confidence thus inspired led to a slight inconve nience, for a small party, under the command of Easign --, having been detached from the left flank to beat up a few soldiers who appeared to be in ambuscade, the latter showed some resistance, being commanded by a Tartar Mandarin, and the Ensign was compelled to retreat, having, to use a phrase hardly perhaps suited to the gravity of a despatch, ' caught a Tartar.' " With this exception, no opposition was offered till we came in sight of the city of Peking, when we were met by a large body of . Mandari ns , w i t h very white beards and very long nails, who propo se d terms of capitulation. I, however, signified to them, that I would settle the terms when I was in the Im perial Palace. I according pressed on the advance of the troops ; the city gates were opened, the streets were almost deserted, and I dismounted at the palace, and was conducted to et - splendid apartment by some very fat eunuchs, the personal attendants of the Emperor, who has fled to Je-hol, in Tartary. " My first care wits to secure the army against sur price, and my next to put the deputation of Mandarins in possession of the terms of capitulation, agreeably to your Lordship's instructions, namely, first, the sur render of Commissioner Lin, and the payment of the full market price of all the opium destroyed by him ; secondly, the disbursement of all the charges of the ex pedition, and a large batta to the troops ; thirdly, the interdict upon the importation of opium to be removed, and the growth of it in China to be prohibited ; fourthly, all duties upon English meichandize to be abolished ; fifthly, sycec silver to be allowed to ooze out, as fast as possible ; sixthly, that all the islands on the coast of China be placed in our hands, as stations and entre pots ; lastly, that the Emperor do make an apology on his knees, to me, as the representative of her Majesty, in the English language. If these conditions are not complied with, I will carry the ulterior direetions of your Lordship into effect by declaring that Lou Kwang hes ceased to reign, and that China forms a part of the territories of the East India Company.

F. FERGUSON CAMROUX, Sec POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAN..§ION.HOUSE. The Lord Mayor has received several communica tions, recommending the adoption of some means of abating the great smoke nuisances which abound in the crowded neighbourhoods of the City of London and on the river Thames, through the instrumentality of steam engines ; his Lordship requested that his correspon dents and the public should be informed, through the press, that Mr. Anderton had given notice of a mo tion on the subject for the consideration of the Court of Common Council, and that all that the Corporation could do to remedy the evil, wculal, no doubt, be attempted. One of the letters received by his Lordship relates to steam-vessels, and stated as folio as :—" I address your Lordship, knowing that your influence in accomplish ing improvements tending to benefit the health, and in crease the comforts, of your fellow-citizens, is, as Chief Magistrate, considerable. The object I have in view is the removal of a nuisance of what most people complain, and not without reason—l mean the steam vessel nuisance, arising from the smoke. The pro prietors of vessels have only to use the anthracite coal instead of what they now consume, and the required alteration is effected. In doing this, no hardship is in curred, for though the price of anthracite coal is rather higher, a much smaller quantity is required, and a saving of a fourth, if not a third, is sure to be effected No doubt you are aware that this kind of coal gives out neither flame nor smoke, and is much used in dry ing hops and malt. It might with equal advantage be used when large and constant fires are neccssary and thus the quantity of smoke which smudges our metropolis might be immensely diminished. I have seen it used in kitchens as well as in steam-vessels, and from experience can speak as to its utility. A sample of it was lately sent to Paris from Wales, and was analysed at the &Die des Arts, and the report is as follows :—',', ' This coal must be much in demand, on ac count of its remarkable purity, both for domestic con- I sumption and for blast furnaces, and as a discovery of great importance for ~the reduction of ores in the quality of the smelting products.' " It is surprising, my Lord, how little this treasure, which abounds to an inexhaustible extent, indeed, in South Wales, as at Llaneliy and Burr-y-Pont, in Car marthenshire, and other parts of that coast, is known and appreciated. Some cargoes, I believe, are sent to the London market, but if it were brought intc general use the national advantage, especially in steam-vessels, would be incalculable, and t,he comfort of it wou'd soon be discovered, and duly prized." 39, ALBEMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY (OP- POSITE TUE YORK DOTED), AND 76, KING WILLIAM. STREET, BANK OF ENGLAND --DEAFNESS AND DE FECTIVE VISION,—A greater proof of the value of the Messrs. S. and B. Solomon's Invisible Operatic Voice Conductcr and newly-invented Spectacle Lenses, can not be adduced, than the circumstance of the many thousands of individuals who have obtained the greatest benefit and instant relief, and the constant immense de mand there is for them, and the patronage they have and daily continue to receive. The Messrs. S. and B. Sola mons disclaim all connection with persons of the same name, and the sale of amber spectacles ; the pernicious use of amber spectacles being now well known to the public, and the vendor being aware of it, be has therefore altered their name, by leaving ant the word " Amber, ' and calling them " Patent Spectacles." Dr. Andrew Ure, Esq., M.D., F. R. S., &c., states amber is most powerfully electrical by friction, very hot, to such an ex tent as to explode into I:agments. The workmen, too, are subject to a nervous tremor in their wrists, arms, &c., they encounter great danger by handling such dreadfully-ex cited electrica. Amber is of such a soft and sticky na ture, that it is apt to take fire ; and whin exposed to warmth, it swells, bubbles up, and will burn away with flame. This st2tement is fttrter confirmed by Sir D Brewster and Pliny, and also by Parks and Hearna on chemistry. The pernicious and destructive use of such a material for spectacles to imperfect vision may be ascer tained at any respectable optician's in London. We hear from a quarter which justifies our as suming it as a fact, that Government has determined on introducing a Bill into Parliament for the estutlishment of courts of local jurisdiction. Such a Bill, having fur its object the simplification of the present expensive and tedi ous process for the recovery of debts, or for obtaining sa tisfaction for civil injuries, diminishing the expense and expediting the proccodicgß, will be hailed with general sp. probation.—Evening Paper.

SPAIN. THE CONSTITUTIONAL CORPORATION OF MADRID TO THE PEOPLE OF SPAT N. The Constitutional Corporation of Madrid, which had the merit of commencing the movement of the capital on the 18th of September, followed by the rising of the whole nation, believe that the time has coma for ex laming their conduct and their motives. In two memorable documents they have been denounced trai tors and rebels—it therefore becomes necessary to re trace the history of events, in order to demonstrate where the treason and perjury have existed—where the loyalty and the patriotism. While facts are re cent and known to all, there can be little danger of deception or misrepresentation ; but the time may come when malice and imposture may seek to calum mate the characters of individuals, and to stigmatise perhaps the most brilliant moment of our regenera tion. A simple narrative will suffice for our purpose. The events which have just taken place are nothing more than the consequence of the blind and stupid po licy by which they were provoked. Men suffer long, but not for ever ; and it is a lamentable error to sup pose that they forget the injuries they feel in silence ; that they are content because they arc passive ; that they arc broken down and degenerate because they are patient. Their wrath is always the more terrible the more it has been suppressed ; and after days of tears and suffering, come those of decision and of vengeance. Ours has beau the generous vengeance of magnanimous breasts ; and the sanguinary enemy, who was preparing punishments and exile for us, has not received from us the slightest injury or insult. Noble example ! which, like many others, will lee lost, or repa;.d by fresh attacks of ingratitude and malevolence. The people beheld the system of reaction which in contempt of them threateaed their liberties, and saw approach the melancholy end which awaited them ; entrusted the direction of public affairs to persons of doubtful principles, if not to men openly hostile to the noble cause which, at the cost of so many sacrifices, was sustained by the nation ; dissolved a Cortes which gave securities and inspired confidence in all ; forced and falsi fied the national will in a new election in the most scan dalous manner, for the purpose of forming a new Legis lature, the majority of which could only serve to destroy the national independence, and to act as a body of re serve to despotic power, authorising and consecrating its usurpations ; our fundamental law attacked in pr jets, the execution of which would have rendered our consti tution a sorry jest, and our liberties an empty name. In these facts., in short, was traced the outline of what awaited us, and forged the chains for galling the brave arms which had but just secured a disputed and vacil lating throne. A thousand other reasons inspired these fears, to entertain which was not levity, nor to feel alarmed by them timidity. The history of past disap pointments came to confirm our existing apprehensions. No one can forget, for the characters imp revved upon the memory of misfortune are imperishable, that after a fearful stri:gle of six years with the great captain of the age, for the purpose of casting out from our soil an enemy who had perfidiously invaded it, and to rescue from slavery a monarch who voluntarily embraced it, this very monarch signalised his return to a country still reeking with blood by a decree, which opened the way to proscription and the dungeon, in reward, no doubt, of his re-occupation of an empire which he had lost, a nd of a throne which be had abandoned. Our lib erties perished, and a nation of heroes soon became a land of sorrow, and the patrimony of tyrants and informers. Six years of mourning and misfortunes passed over us then, during which the measure of the crimes of our oppressors and of our own sufferings was exhausted. Again free in 18 20 , we gave up ourselves to illusions _ and confidence , inspired by the constant protestations of fidelity of the Crown to the charter sworn to but In the mean time the most abominable intrigues were hatched, and the scheme of a hundred thousand Then of a neighbouring nation coming to destroy our institu tions was at length realised, and the nation converted to one great prison, with a scaffold erected in every Own. Such was the faith kept with us—such the proofs of sincerity and constancy continually preached to us. After a decade of oppression and miseries, the , sceptre passed to the hands of a new sovereign , an d with the PRICE sd. casion, which promised favourably, our hearts again opened to admit the light of hope ; but our joy was of short duration ; for, on the 4th of October, 1833, a decree, signed by Zea Bermudez, appeared, and de clared the resolution of the Sovereign to oppose all re forms and innovations, and, at the same time, to pre serve intact the absolute prerogatives with which slaves had invested the Crown. This decree spoke the heart felt language of an absolutist Court, and the repeated efforts which have since been made to realize its senti ments, notwithstandin g the force of events and of public opinion, opposed and wrung concessions from it, prove but too well how fondly the idea has been cherished by it ; and that if it could not be realised, it was because it was frustrated by a people who would not submit to be slaves, and who were not so readily subdued as was sup posed and represented in the circle of the Palace, and of perfidious and traitorous ministers. The pretensions of Don Carlos to the throne were soon put forward, and supported by a large number of partisans with arms in their hands. To resist and put down these pretensions became necessary, and the Liberal party being the only means of support for this purpose, policy and necessity caused concessions to bo made to them, which, although petty, and de rived from a source unworthy of the true rights of a nation, would, however, never have been granted had circumstances been different, or could the Go vernment count upon other resources for securing the throne. To appreciate the boon, it is necessary to understand the motives of the donors. Scion the worthlessness of the gift—barren as was in tended—became known. The Estatuto Real, limited for the most part to secure the throne and succession, studiously defective with respect to the rights which belong to all nations ; granting only to the representa tives of the people the miserable faculty of petition, which was always met by the insulting indifference of Ministers ; the Spanish people desired to possess true And real institutions, derived from the sovereignty of the nation , and, in consequence, one unanimous cry for these objects was raised in 1836 from one end of the Peninsula to the other. Previous to this period of regeneration, disturbances more or less considerable, and attended with results more or less favourable, were experienced, but from diffe reet causes. To direct the vessel of the State, fre quently persons of no consideration, without public or private virtue, without political attachments, and even without individual fitness, were selected. Each appoint ment might be looked upon as an insult to public opi nion, or as a challenge addressed to this magnanimous nation, which still presented itself patient and resigned. If at any time cur Governments yielded to the pressure of events, it was only when they saw themselves univer s illy condemned and repudiated by the nation, and when their power was reduced to the circuit of the wells of Madrid. With reluctance, indeed, they gave way, for soon the system proscribed by the voice of the people seas returned to, and that state of collapse and inaction which usually succeeds to great political excitements n-as taken advantage of to reforgo anew the chains which patriotism had just but riven. The Government, constant in its purpose, yielded . - to a similar necessity only to recognise the Constitu• tion of 1812, the revision of which produced that of 1837. This has been the history of every day, and of every hour. from 1834 to the present moment. It is painful to have to state, but still more to bays felt it, perfidious council has always triumphed over the wishes of the people. The deadly advice of the Court has ever suffocated the voice of the nation ; and for each conquest of liberty a new revolution absolutely became necessary ; not one of those sanguinary revolu tions which erase a dynasty from history and stain its pages with scenes of blood, but a revolution measured and pacific—the offspring of the progressive improve.- :nent of the age, and of the enlargement of the sphere of human ideas and knowledge. We have now arrived at the epoch of the day ; or at one intimately connected with it. From error to error—from abuse to abuse—have crc been conducted to the brink of a precipice, where we might have perished, if the warmth and valour of the nation had not saved us. The base interference practised in the last elections dreply provoked the public indignation. Swarms of servile and officious agents were sent abroad through the country, who had no other object than that of pre serving their places, or rising to higher ; a system of electioneering immorality, borrowed from other cow:- ties, for the first tin: was put in practice in Spain, and succeeded in falsifying the national will. The legisla tive bodies, the produce of these illegal and immoral practices, exactly corresponded in their majorities with their ilicgitima:e origin. Eloquent diatribes were spoken against principles, and even a system .of re-action was openly proclaimed. A law upon the Icomposition of corporations, which deprived those ; bodies of that importance and independence which in other times had protected the monarch from the encroachments of an insolent aristocracy, was assualed as the foundation stone upon which was to be raised the odious alcazar of despotism. la vain most of the muni eips!ities of Spain protest e d. aga i ns t t h ose b a d an d noxious projects of law : in despite of all exertion and warning they received the Royal sanction, and from that moment the people saw that all hope was closed upon them, and that the hour had arrived when they were to choose between revolution and slavery. In Barcelona, a reaction in an absolute sense, and manifesting a deep origin, had been attempted and failed, as it could not otherwise have happened in so Enlightened a capital. It became necessary to yield to circumstances, and a cabinet of individuals, of blame less character was named by the Crown. The pro gramme which these men submitted was rejected ; and they were compelled to resign. The exposition of the illustrious Espartero to the Queen has just torn the veil from secrets previously unknown, and affords ! 1 another proof of the correctness of the convictions we i have been stating. On the occasion of the naming of another Cabinet, the appointments fell upon persons unknown or discre dited, and it would seem as if the partisans of despotism only wanted to precipitate events and rapidly pass over the short time whiCh appeared to them to separate them from the consummation of their designs. . _ . The coi poration of Madrid had solemnly pledged itself not to obey the new Municipal-law, because they believed it contrary to the Constitution ; and the na tional militia of the capital had promised them the, sup port of their arms. The pile was prepared, and it only rrquired a spark to ignite it. This spark was struck out by the memorable public session of the Munici pality, on the 18th instant. That day, by which the liberties of Spain were saved, shall be written in letters of bronze, that it may never be forgotten by future ages. The people, whose good sense often feels and judges better than those pretending philosophers who, more than once, lost the country to their miserable am bition and ignorance, flocked to the Town-hall to wit• ness the public session. From them rose the excite ment; from them the impulse was given. The Cor poration, proud of their worthy fellow-citizens, at whose instance a saving resolution was taken, and paying this trjeute to truth, will not deprive them of the glory due to them. And could the Corporation refuse to comply with the wishes of the people so expressed, or to fly with them to the defence of their common liberty, cow on the point of expiring ? The scene, indeed, might have been different—conducted quietly and tranquilly —had not the Captain-General provoked a struggle, in which the brave militia of the capital taudet him a lesson of bitter disappointment and shame. If Mood was shed, we were not the aggressors. In good time the law shall de cide that upon which ail have already pronounced a verdict. The Corporation bad immediately to provide for the state of abandonment in which the capital was found in so difficult a crisis. It did not monopolize power ; it named, in conjunction with the provincial deputation, a provisional Junta, and deposited in its hands the autho rity and command, thus organiz in g a bod y by whose measures conMsien and disorder might be avoided, and which were to be so much apprehended under the cir cumstances. They besides placed, at the head of the national militia of the capital, Generals known for their talents and patriotism. Soon after various battalions of the army joined the people ; the national militia of the smaller towns of the province hastened to present them selves ; and, as if by enchantment, forces flowed in from ail quarters; c onverting the city into one great encamp ment, and exhibiting it in an attitude the most imposing and noble. The shout of liberty raised in the capital resounded immediately in every corner of the Peninsula. Not a to en that did not respond to the cry of patriotism and honour ; and, with the exception of one alone, up on al l armed still press es the iron ban d of despotic power, armed themse lves in defenc e of the sacred objectsof their vows and their wishes. Almost all the corps of the army in various places have declared for th a t caus e fur which they shed t h eir blood ; and the nation entire presented the sublime spectacle of a great people, who l a id aside their patience and toleration of oppression to re - c o n quer their freedom and invaded rights. In the midst of this brilliant triumph of public opinion, order and moderation presided over our pro ceedings, and a general sentiment of generosity stifled in every breast the recollecti on of those wrongs and in sults we had suffered, n branded with th e names of redbel ntdwithtan forgotten, or i s i t sought to be and notwithstanding las 7: been are concealed, ttr tl l a t when the social comp ac t i s b ro k en by the excesses of power fo rce is the only resource left to that sub m i ss i on en d s where despot i sm begins? Can a whole nation be said to be guilty of treason and rebel . lion ? Can a brave army be so who have only listened EVENING EDIT! ON. fo the voice of reason and their country, and refused to embrue their liana s in the blood of their fellow-men and brothers, and to becom e the tools of tyranny ? No. Traitors, indeed, are these degraded and prostituted wretches who unfortunately have surrounded the throne, and opened a pit beneath it—those abortions of the genius of evil and of intrigue, who, from the elevation to which fortune raised them, thought only of sacrificing, us to their schemes and mad ambition—to tread upon us as vile worms, and dispose of us like a flock of pur chased slaves—men without country, without word, without honour, whose malignant influence is associated with all our misfortunes, and whose names public opi nion has given over to contempt, and which assuredly will secure the execration of future generations. Such is an exact outline of events—such the con duct of this corporation in a moment of peril and of glory. The members of the provincial deputation, those of this Municipality who hurried to form the Pro visional Govcrnment, and also those who, either ill or absent, instantly hastened to unite themselves with their brethren at the risk of acknowledged danger, profess the principles which we hare embodied in the severe language of truth. Proud of their acts, they proclaim them t? the whole world, and in the face of their calumniator!. Let the memory of what is past be invoked ; let it be compared, judged ; and lastly, let it be said upon whose side was the duplicity—tli, perjury ; upon whose the good faith, the jus'icc, and the reason!

The Learned Revising Barristers met yesterday at the Sussex Arms, Hammersmith, and revised the list of voters for the parishes of Hammersmith aid St. Mary Abbott's, Kensington. (Before Mr. SHADWELL.) Hervey Charles Begot, described as of All Souls' College, Oxford, wiis objected to by the Reformers. Mr. Burnard proved service of the notice of objec tion on the bed-maker of Mr. Bagot. Mr. Turner hoped the Court would not consider that good service. Mr. SHADWELL—Whom did you serve ? Mr. Barnard—The bed-maker; he is the absolute servant of Mr. Bagot. Mr. SHADWELL—Oh, I know what a bed-maker is.—(Laughter.) Mr. Barnard--I served it on Mr. Richmond. Mr. SfrADWELL—But bed makers are geneially females. Mr. Burnard—Not at Oxford, Sir. Mr. SHADWELL—I know they are at Cambridge.— (A laugh.) Mr. Burnard—Oh, they do not admit females at Ox ford.—(Great laughter.) Mr. SHADWELL thought the service was proved. No attempt being made to show that Mr. Bagot had a qualitication. his name was expunged. The Rev. Dr. Chisholm, the Minister of the district church of St. Peter's, Hammersmith, was objected to by the Reformers, - Mr. Coppeck stated that Dr. Chi:l°lm had no free hold whatever attached to his office, and that his income was tnerely derived from pew-rents under the Church Building Act. Similar eases came before Mr. Coventry at Islington, upon which ne had not yet decided. Mr. Turner did not object to the case standing over until Mr. Covontry's opinion was known, if it could be shown that thus.° under that gentleman's consideration and Dr. Cikisholm's were alike. Tile Churchwarden stated that the pew-rents were received by a collector appointed by Dr. Chisholm, but that one-third of the fees were paid to the Vicar, and there was no glebe land or parsonage house attached to the incumbency. Mr. SHADWELL was of opinion that in this case he might :etaiu the name cn the list without laying down the law as to the ministers of district churches. It was clear -Dr. Chishuirn received the rents of the pews, which must be presumed to be a freehold unless it could beLl,own the freehold was is other parties. The Learned Barrister was occupied until ball-past four o'clock in revising. (Before Mr. COVENTRY.) This gentleman revised the list of voters for the parish of St. M , :ry Abbott's, Kensington, on which no question of interest arose. Result of the day's proceedings : Hamersmith Kensington Total..

Court :ousc, St. Alban's, Oct. 6,1840. . - Ti.e Revising Barristers, ARNOLD WALLINCER and HENRY SCGDEN, Esquires, commenced the Revision Court for this county this (lay. (Before Mr. WALLINGER.) John Mason, of High-street, St. Alban's, ironmon ger, was objected to by the Reformers, as stamp-dis tributor. The claimant said he was a sub-distributor under the head distributor, Mr. Medland, of Hertford, from whom he received stamps, and accounted to and paid him for same, for which he received a poundage. He adn.ittcd, upon cross-examination, that he issued licenses to hawkers and pedlars, and that he had an ap pointment in writing signed by three of the Commis sioners of Stamps and Taxes. Mr. WALLINGEI: held that as the claimant was employed in the receipt and management of stamp du ties, and had an appointment direct from the Commis sioners, he was disqualifiA.—Claim expunged. John Samuel Story, jun., Esq., of 119, Regent• street, son of Mr. Story, the Cierk of the Peace for the county, was objected to by the Liberals. It was proved by Mr. Durant, that Mr. Story, sea., Lad in January, 183 G, executed a deed of conveyance to the claimant and his brothor, Anthony Brown Story, of a house in St. Albans, adjoining the gateway ontranee to Mr. Story's mansion. Upon cross-examination by Mr. Day, of Hemel Hempstead, it was admitted the house had tumbled dowra, and that the same claim hail. been rejected last year. Two surveyors, and Mr. Story's gardener were nailed to speak to the value of the ground, upon which nano them agn:ed, one stating it to be worth 41., another 4/. 10t., and another 6/. or 71. per annum. Oa the part of the Liberals Mr. Crowley was called, who stated that in its present condition it was valueless. —CI ira expunged. Mr. I/ , y coded the attention of the Revising Bar r to the fact of five names which were on the het last year having been omitted in the list for the present year, and a long discussion ensued upon the power of the Revising Barrister to re-insert such names. _ The Overseer adalittnd the omission, but stated that it was done by an oversight. Mr. WALLINGER held that he was not invested with sufficient authority under the Act to replace the names ; at the same time he regretted his disability, and stated that overseers ought to be more cautious in the execu tion of their duties, for by their neglect great injustice had b2cii ions to the voters, which he had no power to remedy. , London, No 3, Loxer Seymour-street, Portman-square.)
