This battalion together with some companies of chapelgorris from Navarra, will form a flying (.0- 'lu/tin-to protect couriers, and escort convoys from Sanguesa to, Pampeluna and Tafalla. ,i• In order to remedy the numerical diminution which has taken place. in .the' battalions of Navarre since the Ist September, in consequence of losses from deaths, wounds, or discharge from military service, General Garcia forwarded a statement to the Junta or that kingdom, to demand that all possible measures might he taken to place the above-mentioned battalions on an equalfoating, in point of numbers, with those of the provinces .ot -Alava, Biscay, and Guipuzcoa. The Junto has decided that in - future all the young men Who are or may be mobilised, Ella!! form part of the Navarrese battalions, till each of the latter shall amount to 80U or 900 men. It is quite positive that the Junta of Navarre and General Grecia have proposed to the General.in.Chief, Villareal, to as sist him in laying siege to Puente la Reyna, which is scarcely supplied. with provisions - for eight days longer. On the 31st ult. 65 Carlists, who were wounded in the siege of Bilboa. and amongst the number three officers of the 2d battalion of Na varre, arrived at the hospital of,lrtiche. The Junta of Armament and Defence, established at Pans pefuna, has published a &rade, ordering all tnales between the ages of 17 and 50,-- without; distinction of persons, to take up arras. in defence of the Constitution. The consequence is, that a number of persons of the class referred to have abandoned the EaOuranrc Notirr. SUN LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, COIeXHILL', LOADO,V. sraNsGtrot. CHARLES POLE, Eel., Treasurer.

Teti Rates of the'Sun Fire-office have been greatly reduced; the Ad va ta go; of the reduction are immediate and certain, and no Person :allured in that Office is liable to the risk of Partner ship. Since the reduction of Rates Twenty-two Offices, chiefly those lately established, have discontinued Insuring against Fire. Three Carlists in disguise lately carried off a drove of oxen belonging to the hospital of Pampeluna, and also the the two shepherds who were wa►ching the animals. This occurred at the distance of 40 paces front the farthest Christino outpost of Pampeluna. . . Desertion is increasing to a most scandalous extent in the legion of Algiers, the men 'bekm , :ing to which are daily going over, by twenties and thirties, to the enemy. Withiu these few last days a battalion of Algiers and a company of Chapel gorris marched to Balcarlus to take up a convoy and escort it to Pampeluna. - Don Basilic) Garcia, who has been acquitted by the Court martial by which he was- tried, was lately at Los Amos, with his battalion and the.Sth battalion of Navarre. Brigadier Don Leon Iriarte has ordered all the Alcaldes of the valleys on tare Christ/0o line to enjoin all Carlist deserters in the different villages to proceed to Pampeluna, where they are to take up arms. On the 29th ult. the half of a company of A ragonese Chapelgorris deserted from the village of Tajonar, two leagues from -Pampeluna, because they had not received their pay. Two companies of the seine corps immediately marched in pursuit of, but failed in coming up with the de serters who have committed all sorts of excesses in the villages through which they have passed. By order of the Viceroy, ad interim, of Navarre, all the church plate is being collected in the villages of the Riberaand other places on the military line, and, as fast as it is collected it is forwarded to Pampeluna by the Commissaries charged with the execution of time measure. ' The Citrate of Dello has destroyed two bridges on the road from Vittoria to Salvatierra. The former city is iu a more de plorable state than if it were besieged, neither wood, coal, nor any species of provisions being allowed to enter the place. It is confidently asserted that the Spanish Government is on the point of sending two Commissaries to the seat of war. It appears that Villareal offered battle to Espartero,'who de clined it. The town of &lino_ is still besieged, whatever may have been said to the contrary; and this is the day announced by the Carlists as that on which they intend to strike a decisive blow against the place. Some troops that were on their march to join Esrartero, who had written to the Government that he had not sufficient forces to attack Villareal, have just been re called to Madrid. This circumstance proves that the cause of the Constitution is not prospering in the South, since, by she withdrawal of a considerable portion of troops from Bilboa. that towu is exposed to the danger of falling into the power of the Carlists. A part of the materiel of.the siege which Villa: real had withdrawn from Bilboa, to enable him to meet Espar tero, has been renlaeed. PORTUGAL. 'e have intelligence from Lisbon to the 27th nit. The Diario Do Gorersto of the 24th contains a decree regulating the natu ralisation of foreigners. Lisbon was tranquil, but much public .trud, private distress prevailed in all quarters of the country. The decree convoking the Cortes at Lisbon has at length been issued ; they are to meet ou the 18th or January. Listiort, Oct. `24.—Littio or no news of any importance has occurt,l during the past week, excepting the disappearance or Don Miguel. from ,the. territory of the Duke of Modena, where he has been . collec"iini awl organizing a military force fur the purpose of making a descent on some part of the Coast of Por tugal,- supposed to be that of A lgarve, and where it is reported a steatn•boat has arrived, and lauded some artillery and otliceriof diitinction,lvhickhas'ere a ted . great alarm here. General Bacon sailed l as t week for Lisbon, by invitation of numerous British' officers, claimants on the Portuguese govern.' ment, whose accounts it is ready to liquidate. The claims which he has to make amount to nearly EIO,UIO. He has, we under stand, a special - invitation from Madrid to repair thither for the purpose of taking the command of two or three thousand cavalry, to be raised and cluipped in this country. The general is to act independently of Evaus'scorps, and to be under no Spanish chief. Twelve or. fourteen ships of war, English and French, were in the Tagus, in a threatening position. The Queen made an excursion down the river, almost under the guns of the two squadrons, which saluted her, and the band of music struck up Don Pedro's favourite air,. instead of that of the constitution. '['he Portuguese Ambassadors at London, Paris, and Brus sels, and the Charges-d'Affaires at Copenhagen and Rome, following the example of Prince Ferdinand, and almost all the nobility and clergy and most respectable part of the Portuguese nation, have refused to take the oath to the constitution of 182'2.

According to the latest news regarding Texas contained in the last New York papers, the Texian army was about 2,5`./0 strong. The Mexicans continued on the other side of the Rio- Grande. The intelligence is confirmed respecting the election of General Houston as President. S. F. Austin and Suiith were his competitors. The new Mexican congiess was to hold its first meeting on the first Monday in October. Bartholonieu Pages was to be tried in the course of a few days, for atteuipt ing to effect the escape of Santa Anna. A islentucky paper publishes the address of Messrs. Wilson and Ristlethwaite, late of the Texian service, which represents that the state of public and private morals in that province was infamous. Those gen tlemen had gone with their troops, and returned utterly dis gusted. They declare that the mass of the people of Texas seemed wholly incapable of a just idea of civil and political liberty, and that, so fir as the extension of liberal principles was concerned, it was of little moment whether Mexico or Texas succeeded in the struggle.

Henceforth all religious matters must bediscussed in a Synod consisting of six Bishops and two Counsellors, the Patriarch being president.. Besides these six Bishops no more may reside in ConstantinoPle. On the death of a Bishop Itiy successor is appointed by a Synod, and not•bylhe Patriarch, the Sultan. reserves to himself the right of confirming the .ettiction ; on the other hand, no Bishop can be deposed by a Turkish Minister, but only by the Synod, This order of the Sulta n places the Greek Church on the European footing, and diminishes very materially the in fluence of Russia in the Greek Oriential Church.—Hainbary Borsen Halle, Nov. G. Parricii MicrTkriNicii.—•-The Italian and Spanish nobility have been ridiculed by English writers, for letting their houses to travellers, as lodgings, as well as for other trafficking mat ters, unbecoming the rank of nobility.

It is well known that the mountain of Johanisberg, on which the Prince's castle is situate, produces the finest Tokay wine in the world; he knows its value, and disposes of it accordingly. He will not supply any wine merchant with his nectar at a whole sale price; whatever quantity they want, they must purchase at the same rate as if they were buying only a dozen bottles; nay, so far does his Highness carry this retail principle, that nothing is more conimon than for the inhabitants, at the font of the mountain, and in the neighbourhood, who can afford it, to send up to the castle, to purchase a single bottle! A private letter fr.in NapleS, of the 2lth October says, "The cholera begins to rage in a frightful manner. This morning there were 291 cases, and 96 deaths; among the latter, is one of the sons of the Minister of - Finance." The Hurkaru (June 6) mentions that the ship Jadul Kurriu, bound to Amboyna, with upwards of 300 persons on board, bad been lost, and nearly all those persons perished. LONDON LAW AND POLICE COURTS. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.—WxnNRSDAY. WRIGHT V. BURDIS AND OTHRRS. This was an action on a policy of insurance effected on a ship called the Stephen, tried at the last assizes for Liverpool, in which the jury returned a verdict for the defendants. - Mr. Alexander now moved for a rule to show -cause why the verdict should not be set aside and a new trial had. He dated that the plaintiff, who had been owner of the Stephen, effected a mortgage on her in 1833 for £IUOO. In December, 1831, the day after the mortgage money became due, the Stephen sr rived at Dublin, from Quebec, and having discharged her cargo, was ordered to proceed to Waterford. The agent of the mort gagees, however, seized the vessel, discharged the captain and crew, and having placed a fresh captain and crew on board, proceeded with her to Liverpool. Suess weather and want of ballast obliged the vessel to put in the bay of Bangor. The captain and all the crew, except three, went on shore to obtain ballast, and during their absence a heavy gale came on from the land, and, the men on board being unable to let go the chain anehor, the vessel was driven out to sea, and ultimately foun dered. The present action was then brought to recover the va lue of the vessel, but it was contended at•the trial that the plain tiff hurl no interest in the vessel. The verdict proceeded on this assumption, but it would be for their lordships to say whether or not the act of the 3d and 4th William IV., c. 55, sec. 42, re &luting the registration of transfers tr,ade as securities for loans, had the effect of depriving the mortgagor of the legal ownership of the vessel. The point was a new one, And as no decision bad ever been pronounced upon the subject, he trusted that the court w o uld d eem it a fi t ease to un d ergo considetation. The Court thought it was a proper question fur argument, and therefore granted a rule to show cause, MARYLEBONE. A PUGNACIOUS TAILOR.—On Thursday, Robert Mallett, a mud-bespattered personage, minus a hat, but who carried such an ample and impervious thatch of hair on his cranium as to render that appendage useless, was brought before Mr. Rawlin son, charged with the following pugnacious conduct:— Police -constable Appleford, 32 D. stated that he was on duty near Stafford-place, Oxford -street, about twelve o'clock the pre vious night, when he saw the defendant completely encased in mud, with a number of persons round him. On inquiry, he learned that he had been fighting with a lani , er, as tall again as himself. Imagining him to be in liquor, he conveyed him to • the station-house for safety. A gentleman named Scott, residing at the Blenheim Hotel, here stepped forward and said, " I saw the prisoner fighting with the soldier, and he appeared in a state of great excitement."

Many persons thought this ru mour wits without fuundati pn , and;..a no ne,rspaper and no ad vertisements announced such an attempt it produced no sensa tion whatever, and nobody gave themselves the trouble to make inquire. This was exactly what the proprietors of Vauxh. o .ll and Air. Gteen desired. It was considered desirable to have nu mob in the gardens. and that every thing should be as quiet and as private as possible, it nut tieing the object of any of the parries concerned to make money by the exhibition. The eon sequence was, that on Monday, the day of ascent, tint a dozen people were in the secret, and, with the exception of the persons ' employed in the inflation, not a dozen persons were in the gardens. The inflation commenced about seven o'clock in the morning, and by one o'clock every thing was in readiness. The balloon was inflated almost to its utmost dimensions, cud appeared capable of sustaining an aerial flight for many hours, or even days. In the car were upwards of a ton of ballast, several gallons of brandy and wine, a large supply of coffee, cold fowls, ham, &c., an apparatus with unslaked lime for heat ing the coffee, and every other appliance to ensure comfort and prevent starvation and cold. There were also a supply of blue lights, stars, and other fireworks, to be let down at night, if the voyage were not accomplished before dark, in order to enable the aeronauts to reconnoitre the country from their elevation, and choose the point of their descent, and a number para chutes, to which leiter* were fasmened, to bedropped at intervals on the shores of the continent, for the purpose of apprising the public of their transit,. arrival, and safety—in a word, a more complete equipment cannot be conceived; and it was highly entertaining io ace the preparations of the passengers, and the good-humour and confidence wiih which they shook hands with their friends and took their seats. They were, moreover, fur nished with passports from the French and Dutch embassies, and with a letter Cit. the King of Holland, front his representa tive in this country. At twenty-six minutes after one o'clock the rope was let loose ; and the splendid machine mounted quickly into the air, having iii the ca► Mr. Green, Mr. Mouck Mason, and Mr. Holland. 'l'hsy rose most majestically, and with a celerity of dispatch and regularity of motion which predicted success to the undertaking. The atmosphere was more than usually clear, and the wind was blowing rather fresh (row the north west. It was considered that, if the wind did not chinge. they would be wafted across the channel by six or seven o'clock! and that their course would be over Ostend, and in the direction to Brussels. The wind, however, by three o'clock, veered more to the north, which would of course blow the balloon further to the southward of the French coast, and perhaps carry them across somewhere between Calais and Boulogne, and it is also probable that in their coming over the channel a current of air would take them in a direction from north to south, instead of from east to west. Ali judgment ou this head is, however, little better than conjecture. Mr. Gvc is already on the continent to receive the intrepid i;oyager;, and Mr. P.

" Sir,—Annexed I beg to hand you a copy of a letter ad dressed to the Mayor of Dover, which was dropt by a parachute from the balloon at Whitfield, a village about two miles and a half from Dover. The person who brought the the letter stated that he was at work at Whitfield Mill, and, seeing the balloon descending, he stopped the mill to render assistance, when.he saw the parachute coming down, from which he t•ok the letter, and brought it to rue to inquire the residence of the mayor, whither I accompanied him, and took a copy of the letter by permission. The balhon was visible here for nearly three quarters of an hour, and displayed the blue lights.

On Monday afternoon the public attention was anxiously drawn to the appearance of a balloon travelling in the region of air in the direction from London to France. It was at a considerable altitude when first observed, (about five o'clock,) and, though nearly dark, th , , car, net-work, and theappearance of passengers, could be observed by the assistance of glasses. A light was distinctly seen for some little time in the balloon, and then disappeared. The balloon continued in sight until it out away front the castle over th e s e a , w h en i t was l ost s i g h t of. llt was thimght that the wind was too strong to allow them to descend at Calais; but probably at Dunkirk, or some part of Flanders, the aerial voyagers would secure a footing. We have since learnt, that upon the high laud near Archer's Court, the voices of the aeronauts could be distinctly heard, and upon being shouted to by some countrymen, the flags in the balloon were waved in token that they were heard. (From the Observer.) Sunday Morning, Two o'Clock.—We scarcely rememberany instance where so much general anxiety has been manifested as in the well doing of the balloon, and its adventurous experi mental passengers. Throughout the whole of the two last days the gardens at Vauxhall, as well as the establishment of the proprietors in Fleet-street, have been completely besieged by parties, all of whom had but one object ►n calling. The uni versal question has been, " Pray have you received any intel ligence of the balloon ?" To the almost innumerable appli cants the same reply has been given, viz., that the proprietors were without any authentic information beyond that conveyed through the medium of the aeronaut's letter dropped over Dover. The majority of persons appear inclined to attribute the non arrival of intellieence to the vo)agers having met with some ac cident. We must confess ourselves not to be one of the party entertaining such an opinion. We have not time slightest ap prehension of any fatal accident having resulted from the " flight," nor indeed do we suspect that any "untoward event" has come to pass, other than that the public have not been able to obtain any account of the voyage, or where the " aerial trio" have got to. _ _ The . pkin fact is. the trip being taken mainly et the expense of Mr. Holland, Mr. Green may be said to be acting with re gard to coming down entirely under that gentleman's direc tions. With the inflation with which they started, combined with the novel provisions in the way of ballast, Mr. Green expressed it to be his opinion that they could remain up three weeks or a month. It is not generally known that the contrivances in vented for the occasion by Mr. Frederick Gye anti Mr. Green were of such a nature as to enable the latter to lower the balloon at pleasure with a comparatively small expenditure of gas. To make some of these understood, it will be requisite for us to enter into a description of the preparations. On former as cents there have bean three seats, or benches, one at each end, and one across the centre of the car. The last-named of these has been removed, and a strong piece of timber substituted. In the middle of this board an opening has been made so as to ad mit of the operations of a windlass which is attached to it. To this a rope of some 150 or 200 fathoms, or yards, (we at this moment forget which,) is affixed. The project in the adoption of this plan is to place the aero nauts in a situation to haul up an additional quantity of water should. any necessity arise for the application of that element. For instance, s upposing the travel era should have agreed, which i t is evident th e y have done, to prolong their journey, and the "stores" run short—a calamity, by the bye, which we should imagine could not await them for a week or more from the pe riod of commencing their undertaking —they will look out for• a part of the country where there is water. Having discovered the object of which they are in search, they will permit a very suiall quantity of the gas to escape, which will give the balloon a descending power, and on their arriving within reach of the rope alluded to, a leathern bucket, which will hold a hundred weight of water, will be thrown over, and having filled, will be drawn op, - - . and its contents deposited in some of the vessels which have been fixed to the outside of the car. In the event of this additional ballast not being sufficient to bring them down so near to the earth as to allow an effective use of the grapnel. the bucket will continue to renew its operations, until the end shall have been attained. As soon as the travellers shall have completed their "refit ment," they will discharge just sufficient of the water ballast as will remove the depressing power, and oil' they will go again to almost any height inclination mai lead. The water ballast, too, will be brought into "good service," in the event of a compression, and consequent condensation of the gas, which is frequently caused by entering a cloud, and the subsequent expansion, which at all times takes place when the balloon progresses under the influence of a more ratified at mosphere. _ This power of descent and ascent is an advance in ceronautie science never before attempted; and a personal knowledge of the success which has attended the preliminary experiments has induced a perfect confidence in us as to the certainty of the eud alined at. The "stores" which the adventurous travellers took with t h e m, consisted of twelve fowls, two toagues, eight dozen or biscuits, -two dozen Penny rolls, a large piece of cold boiled beef, two gallons of coffee ready Made, one gallon of sherry, two quarts of brandy, two four-gallon kegs of water, (in addition to a large quantity of water for ballast,) a lamp, and a proportion o f unslaked lime. which was to be used as a medium for warm ing the water, coffee, &c. A letter was received yesterday (Saturday) morning from Paris. dated "Thursday afternoon, four o'clock," by Messrs. Gye and Hughes, from Mr. F. Gye, who, with his father, is at present in that capital, whither he had gone to be in readiness to receive the balloon and - party in the eveut of a descent being ma de there; but it does not throw any light upon the matter, containing little beyond expressions tit surprise at not having been able to collect any information as to the `• whereabout" of the balloon• It is now supposed that the wronauts must have taken advantage of . e favourable winds, and gone to Germany, and their return is looked for with much anxiety. A Liam burgh and Rotterdam steamer will arrive in the Thames about one o'clock this day, and it is not unlikely that she may bring some tidings of the absentees. It will be satisfactory to our readers to know that the friends of the voyageurs are not under the least apprehension as to their safety.

Oil Thursday mornil,g a Illeetalg of the rate-p.ivers of tlie above prisb was held in the inquest-rLiont, St. Andros's-co:al, for the Impute of receiving the accounts or the ;ate church• warden Norrie,) to detiin upon matte's connected ..rich the Thavies' estate, and to make a einirch rate for the en suing six mouths. Mr. Churchwarden Wagstaff was in the chair. In consequence of the circulation of a hand-bill through the parish, calling upon titr. retateners" to attend the meeting, and oppose any and every motion in favour of the churcis, a number of parochial economists and philosophers attended to advocate the voluntary and the rational. The Vestry clerk read the report of the auditors appointed by the parishioners to audit the late churchwarden's accounts It appeared that the receipts were £834 3s 7d, and the disbursements £844 17s, leaving a balauce of £96a 7d tv be handed over to the present churchwarden. The auditors expressed themselves in high terms of the eco nomy and zeal of Mr. Norris, and recommeuded the rate-payers to pass his accounts. The clerk then proceeded to read the items of the church warden's accouut, and the truing amounts disbursed for washing the surplices met with the ribaldry and horse-laughter of the radical. Mr. Johnstone, one of the leading radicals, rose with great astonishment, and declared that the charges for the surplices were not ()illy too high, but that five instead of four quarters bad been charged for. This having been very satisfactorily explained, Mr. Johnstone took another objection—viz. that the surplices were washed at the work house, and ought uot to be charged for at all—(great cheers.) It appeared that the poor were farmed, and that the charge, therefore, was perfectly correct. Mr. Johnstone—Well, then, at least this item here is very ex traordinary—(hear.) Why-it appears that the organ is always wanting repair —(Loud cheers from the radicals.) Mr. Norris—You are mistaken; the item is for tuniug the organ—(oh, oh ; •• We don't want nu sich music, old blow Lei la, ."'—innuense laughter.) Mr. Johnstone—But here's £36 for it--(hear.) Mr. Norris—You have mistaken the year 1836 for the amount, which is £loonly. Several other objections, with the.same success, were taken. The reformers having been disappointed in their exceptions, called upon the clerk to read some of the items in the church warden's accounts a second tine, which he did, amidst their classic and liberal witticisms and jocularity. It was then moved that the report be received and entered on the minutes, and that the accounts of Mr. Norris be allowed and passed. Carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was then, upon the motion of Mr. Daniels, given to Mr. Norris, fur the ability and urbanity shown by him during his occupation of office. The Clerk then read a report of a committee appointed to settle with the trustees of the Thaviws' estate the appropriation of a certain portion of that charity to general parochial pur poses. The report stated that the committee had not been able to come to any basis with the trustees, on which the matter might be settled. Mr. Daniels gave a very clear statement of the proceedings of the committee. Mr. Davis. a little Sane/pi-like radical, who had sidled him self into the depths of one of the deepiy-seated windows, front which a round blossom-face, surmounted by a scanty possession of silver hair, was alone visible, wished to say three words on this momenchuous question. ( Hear, hear.) " Mr. Chairman," said the spea {tier, "you will internally conceive that the trustees of this beqeathed charity caru't take any sich acknowledgment as that there committee, of which this here meeting has jest heard, chooses to make. No, no. Mr. Chairman, they won't; and I, as au old and staunch reformer, say that they done quite light, because why? Because they will take a majority of the parishioners, and that's what I call universality suffritcae. (Cheers.) Now 1 would most heartily recommend . that a com mittee be formed of the whole parish, (bravo,) and that there should be a big book of bid: a size as all the parishioners as can write, can sign their names in a judicial and legislative manner. ( Hear.) Why, haven't the trustees declared that they won't take the opinion of no committee? (Hear.) Recollect, gen tlemen, as the trustees are a high responsible body of men, that the Lord Chancellor himself cat nt remove them. I know that I am speaking to men of knowledge, but I say the id ea th a t t h at young nuts ( Mr. Daniels, who is a barrister) has furnished me with an idea, as I'll follow. (Hear, and laughter.) I say, gen tlemen, solemnly and immediately, (laughter,) that we don't want to be surprised with church rates, for we won't pay none. (Loud cheers.) never pay another penny for 'em. (Great cheering.) I say that the sugeestioni of that there young man are noble—l've profited by them. I aint too old to learn. That youne man has furnished me with ideas.--iaeas, gentlemen, good for the mind." Here Mr. Davis stopped totally exhausted, and the only part visible to the meeting having become perpen dicular to his esconsed body, he was nun est inventus iu an appa rently very miraculous manner. The report having been regularly received, Mr. Daniels moved "that it is time opinion of this meeting that it would be most beneficial for the parish that any plan for the appropriation of the proceeds of the Thavies' estate should originate from the trustees rather than the parishioners, inas much as the differences of opinion as to such appropriation existing among the parishioners appear to be insurmountable." Mr. Davis here again put forth his hand—",l carnt conceive what this has to do with it. ( Hear.) lam going to give you a new idea about it. (The cries of Question' obliged "Mr. Davis to fall back ; but immediately the eiries ceased, his head ass iu its speaking position again.) I say. Mr. Chairman, this here question ain't ours, because it's the Chancellor's. (Hear.) I say that our business belongs to the Chancellor (hear); it's a trustee estate, in the shape of an estate of what we call the sister kit (cestui que ) sort, and every body what's here knows that sich an estate belongs to the Vice-Chancellor." (Immense laughter, challenged by the cheers of the radicals." A Rate-payer.—Sit down. (Hisses.) Mr. Davis.—l shunt. If you can say better, do. (Cheers.) I think I know and can say as much about it as any man—l ought. (Cheers.) Mr. Daniels' motion was carried, after a slight opposition. The Radicals.—" Now for the church-rate—rate—rate) The rate—the rate, my boys! The Chairman said they were all aware that the worship of the church could not be carried on without expense. The money in hand for this purpose was £9 only. He was, therefore, com pelled to call upon them to consider the difficulties in which he meal placed with reference to the Thaviee' estate, and to say whether they would grant a rate. Some thou ht a voluntary rate the hest—(the reformers here set up a shout of approba tion)—ethers thought not. The opinions were conflicting on thus matter, and such was the difficulty that he knew not how to proCeed. They were aware that the government had promised to do something—(" oh, oh, the old story again,") and he put it to the meeting whether they thought it better mo adjourn the question till they saw what Parliament would do ? (No, no.) A Rate-payer.—What rate is required ? The Chairman.—A. penny rate. (The Reformers.—" No, uo. A farthing rate ! a farthing rate l" and cheers ) Mr Daniels asked the clerk whether he could state to the meeting what portion of the expenses was necessary for the performance of divine worship, and what portion was required for parochial. purposes. The clerk said the expenses for the proper performance of the church service would be about £250. After considerable confusion, Mr. Paxton moved that the rate be adjourned for 12 months. ("Oh, no, give a farthing.") The clerk said that such motion would be illegal. A reformer.-011, then for six mouths. Mr. Paxton.--Sine die. Mr. White observed that an adjournment sine die would en trap the reformers, as, in such case, the churchwarden would be able to make a rate himself. The Chairman said he would never be guilty of any thing so base. A Radical.—To prevent any misunderstanding. I move that a rate of a farthing in the pound be granted. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Daniels pledged himself that Mr. White Wail mistaken in his law. Another Radical.—A farthing rate—a farthing rate. (Cheers.) Mr. J. J. Allen asked the clerk what the expense of collect ing a farthing rate would be ? ("Boob, hooh," "Oh, oh," and interruption.) The Clerk said almost as much as the farthing rate. (The reformers, "That aint the question, and noise.) Mr. Miller thought there was a misunderstanding as to a sine die adjournment;—(hear) —if he understood any thing about Latin, though it was certainly a long time since he had been at Westminster School, and might have forgotten his Latin, sine die was an adjournment to a day beyond another day. (Laugh ter from the few gentlemen present.) The question as to the amonnt of a farthing rate was put. The Clerk.—About £lOO. Mr. Barugh (one of the overseers.)—And after collection will leave about £lO for the churchwarden. A Radical.—Bravo. We'll give you a rate, but you sharnt git nothink by it. (Cheers.) Mr. Tidmarsh thought the majority of this meeting was against the rate, but he also thought that the meeting would rather make a rate of one farthing than give the churchwarden the power of making a rate. He thought an adjOurnment would give a greater effect to the Opposition to church-rates than if they adopted the other resolution, (Cheers.) Money was not so much an object with them as was the dissemination of the prin ciple to oppose church-rates; and he believed that the most effectual way to do this was to set their faces completely against the rate. The speaker here made some extremely violent re marks in reference to the exactio❑ of tithes in this parish. and upon the injustice of levying a tax on the Jew and infidel for the support of the established church. There were no con scientious churchmen. ( Hear," and considerable disapproba tion.) It was a practice to stigmatise as irreligious those who desired to get rid of church-Tastes. "Now I am well acquainted," said the speaker, "with a great many clerical individuals in this county. and I know some who live in a state of drunkenness, of beastly profligacy, and who lead sporting lives." (The radicals loiolly cheered this.) Mr. Daniels offered souse temperate and judicious observa tions upon the uncharitable 'marks of the preceding speaker. Considerable confusion then arose as to the proper mode of puttin g ,► the motion and amendment to the meeting, the clerk holding one mode and the radicals another—one appealing to the practice of the House of Commons, and the other to their own sovereign will and pleasure. In fact the radicals appeared determined to have their own way, and confusion because worse confounded. Mr. J. J. Allen settled the uproar, by calling upon the Chairman to decide on the mode hi which the motions should e put, which he did. . . Mr. liain:lord rose—(immense uproar). Mr. Tomi!ey rose—(ditto). Mr. Divis popped forth his head—(ditto). The. clerk, upon order being reiitureki, put the question of a ',Wiling rite. _ A Itadical.—liire, won't give em a d—d farden. The contrary was then pot, when there appeared a majority against the farthing rate. Mr. Davis (putting forth his head)—" Bravo, bravo, volun tary for ever." (Cheers.) the clerk then put the Original motion for adjourning the rate, which was carried by a considerable majority. The radicals had then a dance. " No sexton," said one. " No organ," said a second. "A great saving of wine," said a third. " No grave-digger," said a fourth. " No gas-lights, 'said a fifth. " No coals for the church," said a si::th. " No beadles," said a seventh. " No steeple-keeper—no beil-ringer—bo /ourainoted ciork." " Hurrah !"—(Exit to various public, houses).-,1f 0r ,„- ng Herald.

The very excellent dinher was served up by Mrs. Baines, of the New lon, in a superior manner, when it considered that it had to be cooked at the distance of nearly quarter of 11 mile front the Cloth Hall; and the whole of the urrangements reflected fhe highest credit on the officers of the Operative Conservative Association, who certainly had spared neither pains nor exp e n s e to make every individual comfortable., The room, which is of an oblong form, 120 feet in length and 2i) feet in breadth, was completely filled* end 430 persons were accommodated without inconvenience.

They well knew that he was surround ed by a set of men, as his ministers, whom he utterly detested, and who were held in abhorrence be every thinking man in the country. (Loud cheers.) This feeling hail pervaded the country for soma time; his Majesty hail felt it ; and he trusted that the expression of loyalty and attachinent to .the sovereign and the institutions of the country ehich would be exhibited in the room this night would be heard of, not only in the Palace, but to the remotest parts of his Majesty's clorninious.

Family, and may they never forget the principles which seated the House of Brenswick on the throne of these realms." The Chairman wieheri to make a few remarks before the toast was honoured. As respected their present Sovereign and their most gracious Queen, they could have no doubt but they would adhere to the principles expressed in the toast to vrhich he had alluded : and he had nu doubt but their example would have its due influence on the policy of any future sovereign Or these realms. (Cheers.) It was for the benefit of the coun try that the principles implanted in the toast should he pre served inviolate, and if any future sovereign deserted those principles, he very much feared that the country would desert hint. (Loud cheers.) Ile would give them the toast before mentioned. Drunk with three times three cheers and one more. " Hail Star of Brunswick." The Chairman again rose and said. He need not •remind them of the advantages which the county derived front the ser vrces of the navy and army ; and therefore it would be unne cessary for him to say any thing to induce them to drink the toast lie was about to propose. He then gave " 'flue navy and army." Drunk with three times three cheers and one more. The next toast, said the worthy Chairman, need only to be named to secure it a most cordial reception.

Glee— Mr. Foster (editor of the Balton Chronicle,) beingcalled upon. rose to reply to the toast. He said, Mr. Chairman and Gentle men, you have a brunch of the conservative press in your own town, which is conducted with great ability, and which exercised that power to which the Chairman alluded for the public good. (Cheers.) Doubtless, as had been so properly expressed, the press was a mighty engine, whether wielded for a good or for an ev il p ut p ose . But from the circumstance of the ability displaced in the Blackburn Standard, he (Mr. Foster was not wishful to intrude himself on the most re spectable society which he saw around him. (Heir, hear.) lie had, however, the honour of an invitation from their hono rary secretary to attend the dinner ; and as a member of the Conservative press he should hope that his responding to the toast would not be construed into presumption.—(Loud cheers, and " No, no.) During the 'latter part of the session of 1835, the influence of tfie Conservative press did wonders in restoring the confidence of the people to the principles. of the constitu tion, as advocated by bir Robert Peel and his friends; but at the opening of the last session of parliament ; this confidence again drooped, and did not recover until after the Easter recess, when it again carne out with fresh vigour instilled into the cause, no doubt by the manly course taken by the upper branch of the legislature,—(cheers)—which gave to the people of England hopes that they had still some rights—still some liberty--still something left worth contending for..:-(Grinst cheering.)
