MADRID, OCT. 2. rhe government has received a courier with news of Villareal having retired, whose passing the Ebro I announced to you last night and the day before. This event is supposed to have taken place in consequence of orders frwin Don Carlos, and not of any defeat. The Portuguese Legion at Leon has received orders to occupy the pass of Pajares, on the southern frontiers of Austrias and northern borders of Leon, under the supposition that the Car list force was moving forward. . Gomez is said to have entered the Bastan, to advance towards Andujar, and to intend to return from thence by wa♦ of Toledo to threaten the capital from the south-west, whilst Rodil ima gines to cover it on the east; but it is false that the Queen in tends to leave Madrid for Badajoz, which, though a fortified town, has not a dozen cannon mounted; and to beg artillery, or even shelter, from the Portuguese frontier fortress of Elvas, which is iu high order, is a thing a Castilian pride would hardly submit to. In case of such an extremity, of which their is no danger at present, her Majesty would rather go to Ciudad Rodrigo where 1000 Carlist prisoners, from Burgos, are now lodged. Gen. Evariste San Miguel is said to have laid seige to Centableja, the depilt where the Carlists keep their prisoners, but official accounts since received state that they left it for Beceite. The Queen Regent, whom the French papers state to be a prisoner in her palace, drives out daily, without any escort. Re turning the other evening from the Prado, she met a priest car rying the viacitum, or consecrated host, to a dying sinner. Her Majesty immediately alikhted from her carriage, and gave the use of it to the priest in the calle de Bulks, to transport him the more quickly and respectably on his holy errand, waiting with her lady of honour its return in a neighbouring shop, a setups tress. But considerable delay occurring, and the Constitutional Queen being tired of waiting, she proceeded on loot to the palace, u gond distance, followed by a large crowd, delighting at this proof of Christina's amiable confidence in the population of Ma drid, which though teeming with proselytizing sergeants, con tains no Fieschis or Alibauds. AIN 110 A, OCT. 6.—Late last night I received the following official report of the affair before St. Sebastian on the Ist : FROM GEN. GUIBELAI.DE TO THE MINISTER OF WAR. " Excellent Sir,—For a long time I remarked that the adven turer Evans seriously occupied himself in throwing up works so solid that there was every reason for believing that he in tended permanently to establish himself / et St. Sebastian and Passages. I was confirmed in this belief from nis care to avoid risking a general action. Desirous of ascertaining how far my suspicions were correct, I caused to be constructed four batteries on the heights of Amezagana, and another on that of Choritoqui, commanding the village of Alza ; and, notwithstanding the difficulties of the ground, I succeeded in placing in these batteries one piece of 32, three of 18, and one of 6. This morn ing at break of day I ordered the fire to be opened along the whole line against the houses occupied by the enemy, and at the same time against the village of Alza. Twe houses were taken by my men. The enemy now deployed their whole force —opened their batteries—the action because general and lasted the whole of the day, the firing only ceasing at six o'clock in the evening. "Evans contenting himself with acting on the defensive, al though provided with an immense artillery, confirmed my opinion as to his ultimate views. " My brave tro4Stii.iVtieTas far as the cltaussde of Pas sages, and repeatedly drove the enemy from their parapets. The enemy's cavalry, a lth oug h i n num b er 100, made three charges, but were vigorously repulsed, and with loss. The ar tillery of the line, those of the steam-boats and Santa Clata, kept up a horrible fire ; but neither the tire nor the immense force of the enemy, considerably superior to ours, damped the ardour of my brave Guipuzconians, who fought for 19 hours without repose, although having passed the previous night under arms. The enemy must be now compelled to acknowledge the superiority of the brave defenders of legitimacy.; their loss must be immense, not less than UX) men hots de combat : 111410 is 20 killed ; and about 100 wounded. " The whole of my troops performed their duty admirably, and are worthy of the bounty of his Majesty, but particularly the second Commandant General Don Pedro Josee Iturriza ; the Brigadier Chief of the Staff, I)ou Carlos Vargas, who, al though wounded on the '27th of last month, still was deter mined this day to present himself before the enemy; Colonel Don Antonio Arjona ; the Commander of the Artillery, Don Adolfo Save; Lieutenants Don Miguel Vial and Juan Ban tiste Lopez ; Major Francisco Ilerinoso ; and the Lieutenant Colonel Don Manuel lbera, who, with his company, dislodged the enemy from a part of the line. " God protect your Excellency. " Head-quarters, Hernani, o l t ß . A L itroLosts GuincLetnE. To the Minister of War." On the 3d, at eight o'clock in the morning, Don Carlos left Narvaja and proceeded to Fort Guebara, and after having in spected with great -attention the whole of the works, he con tinued his route to Marreta, where he dined. At the Yenta of A rlaban Don Carlos, accompanied by General Villareal, passed on the review the division commanded by General Good. He was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the troops, who, as lie passed down the ranks, cried out " Viva el Rey'? "Vira Carlos V.P. The same evening he reached Escorriga, near Montdragon. llere he remained the whole of the 4th, and was expected at Durango on the sth. From the Ist to the 15th of September 143 privates and 1 lieutenant deserted from the Chi-Winos and joined the ranks of Don Carlos. A dispatch received from Ceneral Castellan, dated the 29th, states that General Mina has been given over by his medical attendants. General Serrano has been appointed Commander in-Chief of the troops in Catalonia. A letter from Madrid, of the Ist gives as positive that Gomez was in the possession of the high road from the capital to Cadiz —that his force alone consisted of 8000 infantry, and 100 cavalry, and that he had intercepted the Andalusian mail of the 28th and 29th. . _ The elections in the northern provinces are decidedly exalted. The followng are those already known : Pampeluna—Mina, Goyeniche, hlaguira. aad Artnendarus. Vittoria—Etcheverria. Bilhoa—Hereros and A rana. Te expedition commanded by Don Pablo Sanz consists of two battalion of Navarre, one battalion of Castile, one bat talion of Alava, and two squadrons of cavalry. It was re ported that Sanz entered Oviedo on the 29th. It is said that Evans is determined in again getting possession of th e h e i g h ts of Aezagana, lost by him in his disastrous inre connoissance on Fontarahia. M. Latour,lMaubourg left Bayonne yesterday for Madrid, by the away of Oleron, and not by the French steam-boat, the Me teor, as previously arranged. His Excellency told a gentle man of his acquaintance that he was afraid of falling into the hands of Pablo Sanz in his road froM Santander to Madrid. The has been a slight skirmish on the lines of Valcarlos, but of no importance. The Cirlists continue to fortify the heights of Estella. THE SIAMESE Twisis.--In the Journal Tiebdomadaire des Sciences Medicales, is an account of our old acquaintances, the Siamese youths, now at Paris, drawn up by a distinguished physician of that city. They are described as Live feet in height, well proportioned, of great muscular strength, and very agile ; —they run and walk swiftly, and swim as well as a single per son. Their intellectual faculties are well developed. 1 hey speak English perfectly, but have forgotten their native tongue. as they rarely speak to each other. Two persons have endea voured separately to converse with each at the same time, but both turn invariably to one speaker, and converse alone with him. They suffered from Ague in America; the attack com menced at the same time on both, and the stages of the disease exactly corresponded. Their taste for food, persons, and things is similar; they both experience hunger and thi rst, go to s l eep and awake, at the same instant; and to wake both it is only necessary to touch one. There is the utmost uniformity in their motions, us if both were influenced by one will. They bare never been known to be angry with each other. One, who wishes to perform any act, snakes no sign to the other, who nevertheless, concurs without the slightest hesitation. A pro posal to divide the connecting band is very disagreeable to them ; they have often remarked, that they have never seen any single individual so happy as they are united.—Asiatic Journal.

The lines addressed to Father Maguire by " S. K.," came too late for insertion. We are sorry that we cannot make room for the sensible and pungent letter of "A Dissenter." We agree with him in our estimate of Father Maguire's conduct. It certainly strikes us, as it does our correspondent, that the circumstance of his addressing a second letter to Mr. M'Neile, when he ought to have known that the latter ca: out of town, is extra ordinary; but it is quite characteristic of the man. By this time, however, the people of Liverpool know the blustering hedge-priest—and, knowing him, entertain towards him feelings of ineffable contempt, not unmingled with pity. We have been obliged to defer our intended notice of "The New Moral World," in order to make way for matters of greater local interest. We•have made arrangements for presenting our subscri bers and friends with a SUPPLEMENTARY SHEET on FRIDAY next, the 21st instant, which ' will contain a full and authentic report of the proceedings at the dinner to be held in the Amphitheatre, on Tuesday next, in celebration of the first anniversary of the " Liverp6ol Tradesmen's Conservative Associa tion."— Zbe iLiberpool FRIDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 14. 183 V. Our foreign news is interesting, and we have given as much of it as possible under our usual head. In France all is tranquil ; but in Spain doubt and insecurity progress, with rapid strides. Pablo Sans and his band of hardy Navarese soldiers have entered the Asturias, striking terror into the ministry at Madrid. Gomez, with thirteen battalions of infantry and a large body of cavalry, was advanced to within a few leagues of Cadiz, whilst Alaix, who had destroyed himself at Ribledo, is is now marching to attack him! Confiscation proceeds at the dictation of Mendizabal. From Portugal we learn, that the Peers have made a vigorous protest against the law suppressing their Chamber. The intelligence we have received from Saint Sebastian, is at once distressing awl unprofitable,—distressing that any portion of our deluded countrymen should be en gaged in a murderous strife, to which so little honour and real nationality is attached—unprofitable, when we consider the position of the Queen Regent, for whose cause they are presumed to be fighting, and who is little more than a cypher in the hands of a stock-jobbing Cabi net, pressed upon from without by anoarmed association of impassioned democrats, ready to apply the stiletto and the poignard to every one who shall venture to dispute their mad career of revolutionary freedom ! We say this is an unnatural conflict for Englishmen to be engaged in; whilst their devotion and courage are worthy of a better cause. After twelve or thirteen hours severe fighting, the loss of several officers and men, as on the former occasion,-! the Carlists have been driven back ; but what profit re sults from such a victory ? It was, in fact, a drawn battle, the legion having been totally unable to follow up the repulse given to their assailants; and which appears to have been more of an experimental attack by the Carlists, from a design to free the entire position of the Anglo-Spanish forces. One truth presents itself to our view, and that is the proof that the soldiers of Dou Carlos can and will fight, and that desperately too; whilst they prove themselves not to be novices in the use of either musketry or artillery. From what we can learn the number engaged on both sides was nearly equal ; but it is presumed that the Legion had the advantage of a su perior artillery and well entrenched works. We give the intelligence under our foreign head, reserving our further commentary until we are supplied with more ample details. We have been favoured with New South Wales pa pers to a recent date. The following extract from the Sydney Gazette, of May 12th, exhibits very striking evidence of the commercial importance of that flourish ing town : " It is some proof of maritime importance that there are at the present moment in this harbour, either loading or dischar g i ng cargoes, refitting or ready for sea, not fewer than thirty-two ves sels of various descriptions whose lowest registered burthen is 61 tons, and whose registered burthen upon the whole exceed: 7,000 tons! This will appear more clearly perhaps fro m th e following table, wherein the several vessels are classed accord ing to their respective rigs, whether as ships. barques, brigs, or schooners, with the separate amount of tonnage and particular present employment of each, viz.:— • c • .

''''j '-' '\_ . . .:- '''• -'' It :.\ ' Nv . \ Lord Holland, and yet supports his argument in its en tire theory, as the practical means of realizing the ob jects sought for—" the end of all government," says Hume, "is designed for the protection of " lift, pro perty, and liberty." We have a third proposition, in the authority and governing principle of the Roman Catho lic Church, inseparably allied with the supreme authority, power, and declared infallibility resting it the person and spiritual office of the Pope, the same being held un changed and unchangeable, in essence, and that all go vernment upon earth is decreed to the use and perpetuity of that church, to which all princes and subjects are lia ble, whenever and wherever her authority may extend ; and even although they may not be strictly within - her pale, but, according to Bellarmin, " in rebellion against her authority." This power also maintains the necessity of a fixed rule, for the preservation of life and property ; but the principle of liberty of conscience it imperatively denies to the laity ; and liberty of opinion and of action is entirely subject to the control of its ecclesiastic au thority ! The authority of which we treat, is comprised and defined in the creed and oath of Pius IV., and in the decrees of the eighteen general Councils of Trent, which are declared to be " strictly obligatory on the whole body of the Catholic Church,"vide Bull, dated Nov. 13, 1654. This is the rule of despotism, for the objects propounded•in the canon law; and according to the authority of Walmsley, " the Catholic Church speaks but once, and her decree is irrevocable. The solemn de terminations of general councils have remained unalter able, and will ever be so." The constituted rule then of the temporal government of this power is in the Church of Rome, and centres in her ecclesiastic dominion. It is necessary well to understand these points, for the purpose of illustrating how far the present acts of the Romish hierarchy in Ireland, and their agents are compatible with the objects declared to he needful in the great scheme of social government long established in Britain, and which, we presume, is one of the constitutions of slow growth described by Lord Holland, established for the ends contemplated by Hume; and this brings us to our main object, the conduct of the existing administration, in sustenance of the position assumed by Lord Holland. The constitution of England is the growth of time,— it has slowly and imperceptibly adapted itself to all the circumstances of time and change, in the course of our political history downwards, and is, in the ever memora ble words of the learned President of the French Coun cil, Montesquieu,—" a sublime phenomenon in its re sults." is the policy of the Melbourne cabinet calcu lated to preserve this phenomenon ? We say decidedly that it is not; but we will go a point further, and assert, that it tends to its certain destruction. We further main tain with Hume, that under this constitution the end of all government is obtained—namely, security of life, pro perty, and liberty. Is that policy then justifiable, main taining as we fearlessly do, that the exigency required by the defined views of this liberal writer, is fully pro vided for, which exposes the " system of experience," according to the phrase of Lord Holland, to a sudden or violent termination, in favour of the democracy of the radicals on one hand, or the absolutism of popery on the other ? for from that system we must substract liberty altogether Let us now consider how far the Whig cabinet has carried out the principle of an established time-matured institution, as contemplated by Lord Holland's defini tion, and given in his own words, at the commencement of this article. Has there been any thing like the con servation of measures needful for such an object, even on the part of the noble lord himself? We deny, that any one act of the ministry, since the government was most unfairly usurped—wrested from Sir Robert Peel, has been in keeping with his lordship's own recorded sentiments, and which certainly partake entirely of our own views, in the necessity of a calmly established medium of social security: On the contrary, the whole career of the Cabinet—the entire policy of its members has been that of inverting the constituted rule laid down by Lord Holland, when under the premiership of Earl Grey, although the necessity for maintaining his theory has been increased four-fold proportionately with the un-English measures propounded by O'Connell or at his - "demand. But Lord Holland's theory would not suit the interests of the Melbourne cabinet, nor its capability of retaining office; and therefore Lord Holland himself is content to forego his own conclusions—to stultify his own argument; while the sapient band of statesmen with which he now is identified, are prepared to throw even the liberal historian of England overboard, by aid ing principles of extreme democracy at one time and the views of the papacy at another, and merely to un settle the entire tenure by which property has been held for centuries in this kingdom ! \Vas there ever such gross inconsistency—such tergiversation on the part of men claiming the suffrages of an intelligent people ? Lord Holland, then, has warred with the democratic principle of perpetual change, and we have briefly shown, that the absolute views of popery are utterly irrecon cilable with our free constitution, long established, per fectly incompatible with the act of settlement, and at variance with all history and all . experience, in the science of free government. We may then freely ask with Blackwood, in a former number of that ably-con ducted Magazine—" whither are we tending Y" In plain terms, does not the entire policy of the present Cabinet aim a death-blow at the permanency' of the ' British constitution, take t hat policy which ever way you will, and conducted as it is on opposing principles —or by a desertion of their primary object ? If we can form any rationale at all of the system of the Whigs it is that of perpetual inflection—it is democratical without autho rity—revolutionary without principle, and dignechical, without wisdom. It is however pre-eminent in two things—it ably supports the mask of hypocrisy, and is no less distinguished for its presumption, than it will figure in history for its selfishness. And what a subject for the living generation of Englishmen to contemplate in its sober movements—that it should allow itself to be governed by an administration, the leading passions, and the only qualifications of which are based upon a foun dation so worthless ! We repeat what we asserted in our last number, that the conduct of this clique of reign ing unaccountables, in driving Sir Robert Peel from office, will be, in the end, a national benefit. It has roused the spirit of England to a sense of its danger; and we may yet illustrate this a little further, for the be nefit of the admirers of irresponsible " cheap govern. went." The incompetency of this ministry, or the total want of sincerity on the part of its members, to carry out reform policy on anything like a safe foundation, has been fully manifest since they grasped the reins of government. Considering this to be an indisputable fact, demonstrable by their own acts in the eyes of an intelligent people, fondly attached to their , ancient laws and institutions, the benefits of which have been made manifest to them through a long succession of ages, is it for us to be guilty of a derelictionlof our duty to that noble community with which we are associated, by passing unnoticed that course which honour and conscience, history and experience, and the authority of Lord Holland himself, alike assure us is pregnant with danger to the continued well-being of the state ? Are we to stultify our own judgment, and be guilty of a suppressio yeri, to gratify the views—to serve the ends of individual selfishness, or aid the cause of the revolutionist, when a nation's hopes and interests are hanging in the balance ? Such meanness, such shrinking from principle, forms no part of our mental composition, nor of our political education ; and when we cease to be honest in this respect, we sincerely hope we may cease to write. • The ministry which took upon itself the respon sibilities ot office, as the issue of its factious opposition to Sir Robert Peel, and at the hands and instigation of an alien faction, bartered with the first principle in•'the Eng lish constitution, as the price of its support, has a weighty account to settle with the English people ; and it is our determination, despite of all the fine sophistry which may be put forth by the Whigs and their partizans, and all the abuse which may be heaped upon us by radicals and papists, to aid the settlement of that account, or the ex- posure of those items of designed or ignorant malversa- tion which justice to the empire at large requires at our hands. Envy we expect from the whigs—malice at the hands of the papists—and, we think, honest opposition from the radicals, who possess the merit of not fighting under false colours. We are fully prepared for all this, and therefore assert that the Melbourne whig cabinet, in its unprecedented usurpation of office, was bound to the production of a more efficient administration than that it supplanted, by means which three fourths of the people of this country consider to have been unjust in theory and unprincipled in practice. Now the grave and simple question on which the whole argument depends is this, has the whig cabinet produced such an adminis tration ? This important question may be answered by its recorded public acts during the last eighteen months, comprehending two parliamentary sessions, and under three general heads, in the negative. Its colonial policy displays its utter inefficiency—its foreign policy betrays an entire ignorance of diplomacy and of the capacity of wielding the interests of this great nation, in the present state of Europe—and its domestic policy is fraught with eminent danger to the internal repose and to the esta blished institutions of the land ! On what then does it rest its pretensions, as an equitable foundation, or general .title to the national confidence ? We have yet to learn this profound mystery. And now we tell the mighty oligarchs and their time serving supporters, that the administration of Sir Robert Peel will go down to posterity with unclouded honour, as an administration tharhad not sullied its reputation by holding out to the people of England hopes and ex pectations which, in the complicated Machinery of our social system, and the varied interests it embraces, could never be realised without violence, fraud, or injustice, to one portion or other of that vast community which reposes under the shelter of a mixed monarchy, a tolerant reli gion, and a well understood combination of free institu tions. The administration of Sir Robert Peel was destroyed by the fatricidal hand of an Irish papal party, in the British House of Commons, on a question on which it,had no right morally to legislate, and princi pally from the conviction that the measures of that administration, in their practical working of reform, would be the death-blow to the hopes of the agitator, the ambition of radical-whiggery, and, above all, the enemies of the Irish protestant church. Thus it was fiercely con demned by a dominant faction, before its measures should become developed, which would have effectually prevented its enemies establishing against it any substantial accu sation. And these are the worthies—the pure unspotted patriots shout " justice for Ireland" in their hypocritical zeal, until they are hoarse with their own bellowing, and who talk of the open legislative opinion of the conserva tive peers, and their constitutional opposition, as an act of injustice, who call loudly for the " fair trial" they denied to ethers ; whilst they have not shown in any one act of their governing sy stem, their capacity of sustaining the integrity of that compact, which one of the ablest of their own body in the government has asserted to be an indispensable object. The administration of Sir Robert Peel pledged itself, not merely to principles, but to mea sures of practicable reform and undeniable utility, as rapidly as the forms of parliament admitted ; but the leading object of its opponents was the prevention of that development. The whole machinations of the united faction were directed to this end. The public wish that the system introduced by the reform bill should be fairly tried, with a view to the illustration of its practical efficiency, was met by Sir Robert Peel at the onset, in his address to the electors of Tami.vorth ; and if the de clared objects of cheap and popular government, could have shown in the working, in his hands they would have had a fair chance, whereas they have been kept in abey ance, by the obstinacy and avarice of those who have done little else than expose their own ignorance of those first great principles on which all reform should be founded. It may be asserted without hypothetical presumption that the great conservative meeting of Northamptonshire has irretrievably sealed the doom of the Melbourne whig cabinet. This county—the freehold of Spencer, North ampton, and Fitzwilliam—has answered Wicklow with a peal of thunder. Yes, indeed, this conservative peal vibrates from the very centre of whiggery itself, and pro claims a terrible reaction against the apostacy of princi ple which the ministers of the crown have manifested in their most nefltrious policy with reference to the protes tant church in Ireland; 7 -it is the death-blow of their hopes with regard to English opinion. Let them do what they will, the voice of England has proscribed them. They may, it is true, cling a little longer to the Irish tail, and even hope to increase its length by the addition of a few joints through the all powerful bribery influence of the justice rent; but will the English nation, in its now imposing attitude, suffer itself to be borne down, trampled upon, nay, its intelligence treated with posi tive contumely by those whom the majority of its own freely chosen representatives has decreed to be unworthy of confidence ? . The question is in a nut-►hell,—Are the Irish representatives, at the bidding of O'Connell, to pass laws hostile to the interests of the united empire and fatal to the church establishment to the exclusion of that conservative power which is seated in the people of the British empire at large, and of which Ireland forms at best but a component part ? Is the whole frame-wot k of our great English society to be broken up solely that the vanity or the ambition of a knot of splendid incapa bles—a dozen or so of men who have proved themselves, incompetent either to comprehend or to carry out the elementary principles of our constitutional system —may be gratified by their power to retain office, and thereby deluge the land with a never-ending category of patron age and commissionerships ? Let the meeting at North amptonshire answer this question for the government, if that government be not entirely deaf to the remon strance of reason—dead to the impulse of duty and propriety. And here we would beg leave to tell Lord Fitzwilliam, who has deemed it expedient to take shelter in the mountains of Wicklow, that in the eyes of a British community the votes of the four independent members returned for his own English county are more valuable in the estimation of that community than all the votes of the Grattans, the Parnells, and the Fitzsimons who figure in his lordly train, or hallo forth his weak philoso• phical speoches in favour of abstract justice and Roman Catholic legislation with regard to the property of the protestant church and to municipal reform. The inde- pendent electors of Northamptonshire, by tili7ir popular return, have shown a fair estimate of the value they at tach to such doctrines as those propounded at Wicklow and Waterford. Northamptonshire has done her duty to the great cause of constituted freedom, and the meeting of Thursday may be viewed as the signal for marshalling the strength of every county in Britain for a similar object. The legiti mate pride of inheritance—the pride of possession through a long series of descending generations—must naturally render us tenacious to retain those privileges for which our ancestors fought and bled with the most generous devotion for their posterity—for their religion—for li berty itself ; and never, whilst the warm blood of native feeling and kindred attachments flows in our teins, shall we be prepared to sacrifice our English,independence into the hands of a perverse and intractable oligarchy, nor that religion in which is centred the greatest conso lation and the purest hope, to the dominion of a tyrannous foreign priesthood, and to the exclusion of that worldly pre-eminence which, under the authority of the word of God itself, and the declaration of our blessed Redeemer, we hold to be the fair possession—the fee-simple of our church. Nor have we the smallest doubt of securing a moral victory over the fallacies which have been put forth, whilst we are enabled to record and comment upon the opinions expressed by gentlemen possessing the in telligence of those who addressed this immensely congre gated assembly in the very centre of the kingdom. Mr. Maunsell, Mr. Cartwright, and Sir Charles Knightly have " dealt a heavy blow, and given a great discourage ment to" whiggisnt : it is a protestant Roland for the popish Oliver of Lord Melbourne, and we hope our neigh bouring whig-radicals and our " free-trade-in-religion" folks will be fully satisfied of its potency. The speech of Mr. Maunsell was truly English; and if sound understanding and constitutional feeling, combined with a due regard to the interests of out' church and state, be calculated to create a powerful sensation beyond the range of his own county, that speech will effect it. Were the cause not OcT. 14, 1826, common, jealous, indeed, should we be of such displays but we inform our Northamptonshire allies that our con servative artillery is in good order—the gunners are in full training, and we shall in a very few days, we hope, return such a fire as will by no means occasion them to feel ashamed of our alliance. Whilst we endeavour to do justice to the Conservative cause throughout the kingdom, it would ill become as to pass over the efforts of our noble and influential friends, nearer home. A lengthened commentary on the pro ceedings which took place at Chester on Monday even ing, will not be expected from our readers, seeing that our space is necessarily devoted to a concentration of that mass of intelligence which is interesting at this time. The chair was filled on this occasion, by that noble patriot and gallant soldier, Lord Combermere, re presenting in his own person, the choicer virtues of the Roman citizen, fully prepared to defend in peace, as to maintain in war, the just freedom and the constitutional guarantees of his fellow-citizens. The dinner was in deed a baronial feast—it left nothing to be desired. The spirit which the noble Chairman infused into the assem bly, was altogether unique, and the gratification expe rienced by Lord De Tabley and Lord Delamere, com plete. The scene at one moment was particularly imposing, embracing the warm glow of enthusiasm with which the rising company received the toast of " the Church, the King, and the Constitution." Lord Com bermere has had his " gloriotis days," but will venture to affirm, that moment was the proudest of his life ; and when he sat down, apparently overpowered with the thunders of applause, the fire of innate satisfaction flashed from his eye ; and when he rose to address the company the second time, the reaction of the warm English blood flowing in his veins; was marked and powerful; and if justice be the " order of the day.- this uncompromising soldier did..ample justice to the " Conservative associations of England." As we have given elsewhere a list of the noblemen and gentlemen of fortune who attended this Meeting; we need only add, that every toast received its due share a attraction—two especially so, " The House of Peers," and "the Con servative members of Cheshire,"—to the first Lord De lemere responded—to the latter Sir Phillip de Malpas Grey Egerton, Bart. M.P. The reception given to the noble lord, and to the independent constitutional Com moner, must have amply satisfied them. The health of our own Wellington, as usual brought a burst of ap plause ; and what true English heart could deny its meed of approbation ? We are truly happy that many of our neighbours and friends attended this dinner. We too must have—will have our emblems our standard of " Church and King." The compliment paid by Lord Combermere to our Protestantism, is not likely to be lessened by the forthcoming display ; but we hope he will come and bring his warm breast into the bosom of our constitutional gathering; and we will show that the men of Lancashire are prepared to do justice to that compli ment; and to " stand or fall" by the principles he has declared, and which,our own noble representative has so strenuously maintained throughout the late arduous session. It will be seen, by our report of the proceedings in Council on Wednesday last, that the improvement com mittee find it impossible so far to mystify the public as to the disreputable transaction respecting the Globe Chambers, as to induce the belief that the Tradesmen's Bank Committee have been fairly or honourably dealt with. There can be no further doubt that the parties who were represented by Mr. Rotheram have been able to exercise some undue influence in the business. It seems that jobbing, in its most sobjectionable shape, is not considered by our reformed .town councillors to be incompatible with their reiterated and zealous profes sions of purity. Never mind—=a day of reckoning is at hand, when these worthies will be taught that their re cent contempt of justice 'and decency is not likely to conciliate the affections of their constituents. ' We confidently anticipate that one of the most important public dinners ever given in this town iirilFtalce place on Tuesday next—important when we consider that 4t is designed to cele brate the reunion of those principles, amongst a large and wealthy community, which 'were the sheet anchor of this nation and people at one of the most trying and critical periods of our history. The opulent merchants and tradesmen of Liverpool, now only second in commercial importance to the proud capital of the British empire, could not possibly have long remained insensible to those many and varied benefits which have pro gressively accrued to them from the long established authority of well defined laws, and that freedom of intercourse and general confidence which were the national result of good government in the state—of government based on principles of general sta bility, by which alone property and industry, in the hands of individuals or associated bodies, can be made to tell to individual advantage or national improvement. They cannot be insensible to the fact that, under the protecting aegis of our free constitu tion, aiding them in that legitimate moral exertion and indi vidual enterprise which are the especial characteristics of the English population, taken as a whole, they have attained to that station in their own families—in their local intercourse, influ ence, and general importance as an integral portion of our great English society, which entitle them to exert a loud voice in favour of that constitution which has enabled him who ex ultingly declared himself "the son of a cottOn-spinner" to fill the proud office of prime minister of England, at the bidding of its King, and under its free and perfect liberal institution of government---they cannot forget that this "cotton-spinner's son" was born in their own county, and that his father's indus try alone, under the protective privileges they have long and equally enjoyed, enabled him to give that son a fortune sufficient in itself to eclipse half the petty princes of the European conti nent—nor will they rashly kick from under them the ladder by which many amongst them have reached the house top of a com fortable an independent elevation, for themselves and their posterity, entitling theta to a full share of consideration and of influence, in the legislative securities and immunities of their country. The merchant tradesmen . uf Liverpool are about to assemble for the purpose of marking their attachment to the ancient institutions of their native land, and their determination to maintain those fundamental principles. of religion and mo rality in the state which are intimately blended with their own continued prosperity and happiness—the happiness of their families, and the safety and repose of the empire at large. It is said, with what truth we do not pretend to determine, the probable return of Lord Brougham to public life is contem plated by the whip cabinet with chagrin ; at least, that its leading members are in the dumps at the prospect of having to encounter the fiery sarcasm or intractable meddling of the noble and learned lord, during the approaching session, when, if he be not consulted on the various measures which they in their sapient discretion may put forth from their reforming, or, rather, unreforming cauldron, he may prove to them a greater annoyance, under his presumed liberal opinions, than if he were decidedly opposed to thesis in the hostile ranks of toryism. Be this as it may, it is said his lordship may be expected, to, come out from his slumber like a " refreshed giant;"' and, should such be the case, we know sufficient of the mental com-. positioti and temper of " Henry Brougham" to feel satisfied that he who tore the note of Earl Grey, which ogered him the attorney-generalship when he expected the mastership of the rolls and trampled upon that note and .spar upon it, in the lobby of the House of Commons, and was only .appeased by the sear of the chancellorship, will not quietly pass over any real or pre sumed slight put upon him by, a caerie of self-conceited gentle men, to make the best of them, far below him iu tact, talent, and enterprise. Lord Brougham has, however, sorely disap , pointed the great radical clan of Edinburgh; and, so far, we cannot but commend his prudence—by preserving his indepen dence in this respect, he will be better enabled to avenge his own personal wrongs, if he has experienced any, thereby iden tifying himself with a party of which he was always shy o f forming a direct alliance. Lord Brougham, therefore, will twt dire with the radicals of Edinburgh, whilst he cunningly smoothes them down by an apology, on the score of the medical advice be is still un d er t h e necess i ty of pursuing, an d by assur ing them that he is still deeply impressed with the necessity for the progress of reform principles, and " the benefit of equal laws," as th e " i mprescr i pta b le t i ght " of all classes of the ls people, whil s t h e a dd s a saving clause, that cart doubt n one of u s doubt the n ecess i ty o f not mere l y repair i ng, b et amending, and thus preserving (!) a n d p er p e t ua ti ng our i ns tit u tions, by eve , ' , l ! safe me asure o f i mprovemen t an d b y a ll reasona ble despa tch We do not k now h ow our radical thorough-Pingfriends will relish th ese conservat i ve hi n t s o f th e ex-chancellor W s ; but we . ts should imagine they will not prove very e a table the n oble sit office; and, certes, they would l ea d one t o 'infer that thei ien n and learned lord has reflected in his temporary re t ire the vagaries of the latter part of his political career, h brought him down from of that pedestal on which some hisc ,_ warmest admirers bad elevated him, as the seco nd Bac,4on net: r vs ' oe h t .

Lord Holland, the most talented, if not the only ta lented member of the present government, has laid it down as an axiom, that " constitutions in a state cannot be created instanter,—they are the growth of time, not the sudden institutions of men; and to form a system of government, without veneration for experience, would be as absurd, as the attempt to make a tree, or to manu facture its fruit." This, then, we assume to be a funda mental proposition, in the estimation of the living Lord Holland, an authority which whigs will not disclaim, and which even liberals will not dispute on the score of in telligence; but should they do so, let us cite another au thority, which, in another proposition, goes further than
