Shopkeepers and Trades men of Liverpool, held at the Golden Lion, on the 2Gth of Octo ber last, for the purpose of considering the steps to be taken for the Election of fit and proper persons to be COUNCILLORS of this Borough, have delayed adopting any measures towards the accomplishment of the object of their appointment until the limits of the Wards were publicly known. They considered that any appeal to the Inhabitants previous that announce ment would be a premature agitation of asu ect, which, unne cessarily and unfortunately for the tranquil' y of the town, has been converted into a political question. This Committee, however, without wis gto dictate in the slightest degree to their fellow-townsine and anxious only for the Election of a Codicil which shall represent the interest of the great body of the community, wf d venture to address a few words to the Municipal Voters at t s important period. In the first place, they woull earnestly invite them to the con sideration of the questi o n, uninfluenced by political feelings, and to view it, not as one upon the decision of which, the superiority of Conservatives or of Reformers, the defeat of this or the success of that party depended, but as a question affecting, and affecting local interests of paramount importance—the good gos emo llient of the town—the honest management of the corporate estate—the impartial selection of public officers—the security of the Creditors of the Corporation—the security of the Lessees —and the progress of local improvement. They cannot see why the alleged defects or errors of the pre sent Corporations arebrought into the discussion of this question. If it be for the purpose of inducing a belief that defects and er rors in future are to be prevented only by the Election of Coun cillors of opposite politics to the majority of the present Council, anti that good management can only be obtained by reposing the Corporate trust so the hands of the Opponents of the present Body, they would remind their fellow-townsmen, that their best protection will exist, not in the politics of the predominant party, be they Conservatives or Reformers, but in the Constitution of the Council itself. Not self-elected, it will be chosen by the Bur gesses at large; its members will only remain in office for a limited period ; its proceedings will be at all times open to pub lice inspection; and, therefore, the evils of a self-elected body cannot, under any circumstances, possibly exist. And this Committee would ask, for what good purpose is it attempted to array against each other those two great classes, " Merchants" and "Tradesmen," upon whose mutual good feel ing and co-operation the happiness and prosperity of the corn niunity so essentially depend? Is it wise to promote this disunion, to engender a spirit of discord, which, rankling throug_hout the whole year, will b e publi c ly exhibited at every annual Election, and which will only tend to the mutual injury of those whom, for the first time in this town, it is attempted to brie g into hos tile collision ? -1 ..... . The Committee, therefore, now appeal to the good sense of their fellow townsmen ; they urge them to unite in the selection of upright and efficient Councillors; they do not point to thein the leaders of any political party, or call upon them to exclude the professors of auy religious creed, but they invite them to make the character of the individual for respectability, industry, and independence. whatever, be his station in life, the test of his fitness for the office of Councillor. .

I.—A telegraphic dispatch from Bayonne, dated 28th of October, announces, that "according to the carlist bulletins, Vittoria was besieged from the 19th, and that on the 2241 it was still the object of a vigorous attack. . . . " Some information, still mote certain, announces that their artillery only went as far as Mondragon, and that it returned on the 20th to Onate, to which place Don Carlos was to retire, in consequence of the arrival of Cordova at Miranda. " Discord reigns around the Pretender, who has disgraced the General Eguia. It is said that the general has addressed to him an energetic , representation. The National Guard of Barcelona says, that out of 50,000 muskets to be sent by the English government to Spain, 10,000 are destined by the Spanish government for the Christinos in • atalonia. A letter from Port Vendres of the 25th inst. says, that the Carlists in Catalonia have not been been defeated at Vich, as alleged a few days since by the French papers. The Navarrese battalions charge the Christinos in Catalonia at the point of the bayonet. They only carry two catridges with them, and the moment both are fired, they rush on with their fixed bayonets on the enemy. The Gazette says—" Private letters from Madrid inform us that M. Mendizabal avails himself of his difficult position to prevail on all fractions of the liberals to support him. The op position procuradores, as they arrive from Paris, are submitted to a sort of fascination. E. Mendizabal has golden promises for all. He makes them believe that he has no need of extra ordinary imposts, nor of new loans! The patriotic contributions and the sale of the property of the clergy are to be enough for all. - He has had the tact of providing for the wants of the moment, and the chests which were empty when he arrived are now well supplied. In fine, M. Mendizabal promises to arm and equip 100,000. The first vote he will demand of the con gress will be an extraordinary levy of troops. By means of his promises and his brilliant hopes the premier hopes to avoid the necessity of revoking the Estatuto Real. The juntas have made their submission with an understanding that they may again appear in case of necessity. The 16th Nov. will soon be here, and then we shall see M. Mendizabal at work. If he be not the most able minister which Christina has hitherto had, at any rate he is the most adroit, fur his lies obtain some credit." The Echo del Conimerciu of Madrid, of. the 19th instant, in forms us that public opinion in Andalusia is now in favour of the Queen Regent, and that the new captain general of Va lentia has been received by the inhabitants, troops, and National Guards, in the most satisfactory manner. The same journal protests against the alleged right of the juntas to make imposts, and that the juntas had no right to name certain individuals to certain posts without the consent of the government. The Eco maintains that the right of naming to government posts belongs to the queen, but expresses its wish to see those pointed out by the juntas confirmed in their appointments by the government. MISCELLANEOUS. Dr. Bowring is to leave Paris on Wednesday next on a com mercial visit to Switzerland. lie proceeds there by order of the British government. and it is thought that the object of his journey there, at this season of the year, is to extend the com mercial relation's existing between the states of the confedera- tion and Great Britain. There are some political men whose every step is watched with the most scrutinising eye in this country. The Prince de Talleyrand is one of their number. Since his arrival at Paris he cannot move an inch without being watched, and every syl lable is recorded as those of an oracle. It has, then, been ob served, that since his arrival at Paris, the prince has made many visits to the new Russian ambassador, and, in his turn, he has been several times to the Prince de Talleyrand's. It is, of course, said that Prince Talleyrand's affection for England is diminished—that with Lord Palmerston he has quarrelled— and last year the prince re-appeared at the hotel of Count Pozzo di Borgos, though from 1815 downwards, he had been quite at a distance from him. The Constitutionnel says that it cannot believe that the prince has abandoned all his ideas of the last twenty years in favour of England; and that his "magnificent conception of the alliance of the south against the north of Europe, cannot have been destroyed by petty jealousies, and foolish personal piques. If then M. de Talleyrand visits the Count de Pahlen a great deal, it is no doubt with the view of studying all that is passing. The friends of the prince are in England, Madrid, and Lisbon; and, though orders may have arrived from St. Petersburgh to caress the prince, yet he must be aware that in Russia he is not loved." The Count d'Espagne was on the 28th inst. at Lyons, accom• panied by two gendarmes. The court of peers is convoked for the 16th November, to hear the report of the commission appointed to examine the "nttenat of Fieschi," and after that report shall have been made to proceed to try the republicans of St. Etiesue, Grenoble, &c. who aided in ►naking the insurrections of April, 1831. The storms on the French Coast have ben horrific. Leiters from Brest, Etaples, and other ports, speak of many shipwrecks and of terrific storms. THE POPISH PRIESTS AND THEIR ATTRI BUTES ! (From a Correspondent of the Times.) Amongst the superstitions of the church of Rome, which serve to give her priests such a dominion over the minds particularly of uneducated members of their flocks—for example, over the poor Irish Roman Catho lic peasantry—may ,be reckoned the extraordinary attri butes which those priestly gentlemen are represented as possessing. A distinguished individual of them, not very long since highly promoted by the pope (made a bi shop, we believe, at least placed in a high and confiden tial situation, and this chiefly on account of his contro versial sermons pram:lied and published in England), has given in those sermons the following description of the attributes of Romish priests : "The angels are holy by their endowments of grace, as well as by the high rank they hold among the creatures of God. But what angel is privileged with more exalted functions than the priests of the eternal Lamb? Like the virgins mentioned in the Apocalypse, they attend Him wherever He goes. They form His regal court upon earth, and the ministry of His throne. They are the chosen guardians of His person, possess the de posit of his blood, and bold the mystic keys of His everlasting kingdom. Let the world give honour to her profane heroes ; let monarchs claim the adulation of their subjects; in the eye ,1 of faith, and in the sight of the christian, the priest of Jesus Christ is a more exalted character, and inure entitled to vene ration. Ile 'walks among men a miracle of grace, is the rock that pours forth water to the fainting, the manna that yields bread to the hungry, the bush that burns without being con sumed. He is, moreover, by chastity an angel; and his vir ginity is the image of the unchangeable unity of Gull. The ministry (of the Romish priesthood) exalts . the individuals aboveall fur which human life had designed them; makes them the agents of God, the vicegerents of Jesus Christ, and the saviours .of men. In this point of view it ranks theta even above the angelic spirits, and clothes them with the divine cha racter of the Messiah himself. Let a prince only descend from the throne nu which birth or fortune may have placed him, and he will return to the common undistinguished mass of his fel low-creatures: whereas the sacred character of a catholic priest is indelible in person. These distinctions, however, arising _from the' sacerdotal ministry, exclusively belong to the priest huud of the catholic church." THE SPANISH MERCENARIES. ( From the Morning Post. ) The James Watt, steamer, which arrived on Thursday last from St-. Sebastian, has brought back upwards of sixty men from this mercenary expedition, consisting partly or the wounded; invalided, and most refractory, whom no discipline could curb. To give an instance of the latter it may be stated that there is amongst them a private who was sentenced to fifty lashes for striking a lieutenant of his company, and subsequently ordered - to be disgraced the regiment and sent home. The most shamefulliartof the aff. it is, however, that in the number there iff6 thirry;two - torei gners, - consistit . rg-vf retest- Russians, - Ger mans, and Belgians, some of whom were sent from this countryt but the majority from Ostend. It appears from the statement of these men, who are in the most miserable condition, tha, their treatment has been gross in the extreme. On account of the desertion of six of the Ist Regiment to the forces of Don Carlos, the whole of the foreigners were or dered to be sent home by General Evans, when, on quitting Spain, the.v each received the sum of six shillings, and which, as is proved by the regimental books, is the full amount of money that they received fur their four months' service. In the official discharges given to the unto, tunate individuals no cause is as siv:ned tor their dismissal, whilst a certificate to the follouing effect has been given to them, signed by the major : " I certify that the bearer, of the Light Company British Legion, has always conducted himself in a proper and soldier like manner since he joined the above regiment, and he is not discharged in consequence of any crime being attached to him." The generality of these unfortunate men cannot speak a word of English, and were, at the time of their dismissal, given no other option than that of returning to England. • We were prepared to hear that our own deluded countrymen who entered into a service would return impoverished and destitute, but we did not expect other foreign mercenaries would be turned mendicant upon our shores. All at 'least shows the animus of an expedition got. up without principle, conducted without honesty, and which must inevitably terminate in de gradation to all. Orders were issued yesterday for 4,000 more men to be raised for the service, and considerable activity was exhibited at the different recruiting depots. Major Stewart started off fur this purpose yesterday for Ireland. MR. JOHN O'CONNELL. TO THE EDITOR OP THE MORNING POST. Sin,—ln the published correspondence between Mr. Raphael and Mt.

There is no suppression, on our parts, of more un favourable accounts; for the simple truth is, that, after waking a laborious and troublesome search thn , tul; country papers of every shade of politics, we have . bzen uuaule to find any such, In many of the counties of which no report is given the result is, we are well aware, so certain that a report has been thought needless. In East Surrey, for instance, Major Beauclerk's ejectionis so perfectly settled that his opponents have not troubled them selves to let the public know how many hundreds he will be left in the rear. In Buckinghamshire the conservative majority of 500 is much augmented, but it excites little interest to know whether that majority will be raised to 700 or to 900. So of a vast number of other districts, respecting which no return has appeared. Of some others we regret to have to admit that the conservatives have remained it: a state of inertness, and have left the repre sentation in the hands of those from whom they might with ease have wrested it. But we must proceed to the boroughs, beginning with that splendid instance of whig liberality, Leeds, In this borough Sir John Beckett polled not quite 2,000 votes at the last elec tion. Mr. Baines's party, to leave nothing undone, served no tices of objection in July last oe no fewer than 2,534 registered electors! Of these they succeeded in disqualifying only 599, failing in more than three out of every four of their objec tions. Their opponents objected to 1,639, of whom they struck off 829, or more than half---giying them a clear advantage of 230 by the revision. Bristol presented a similar instance of the liberality of the liberals. l'he whigs objected to 1,304 names, and struck off only 647; the conservatives to only 914, of whom they ex punged 812. In Wakefield the conservatives established 133 objections, and 31 new claims; the whigs 24 objections, and 21 new claims. In Ipswich the conservatives established 70 objections; the whigs 50. In Cheltenham the conservatives succeeded in expunging 73 of their opponents; the whigs only 32. In Gloucester the conservatives struck off 148 ; the whigs only 67. lit Colchester the conservatives succeeded in 113 cases; the whigs in only 60. In Peterborough the conservatives expunged 49 of the oppo site party, while the whigs succeeded in only 11 casts. In Southampton the whigs expunged were 48 in number; the conservatives struck off were only 33. In Halifax the conservatives removed 103 whigs from the re gister, while the whigs expunged only 34. In Reading the radicals expunged and conservative claims allowed were 51. Those on the other side 49. In Windsor 61 conservative objections were successful; but only 28 radical objections. In London the conservatives succeeded in 378 objections; the radicals in 129. In Grimsby the conservatives established 44 cases; the radi cals only 6. In Hereford 55 objections were sustained by the conservatives; by the radicals, 10. In Poole the conservatives made a gain of 45 votes; the radicals of only 8. In Shrewsbury the conservatives sustained 82 objections; the whigs and radicals 24. In Canterbury the conservative objections sustained were 152; the radicals 86. In Dover the conservatives expunged 56 whigs and radicals, aril their own loss was only 26. These are the principal reports from the boroughs in which, any struggle has taken place. We cannot say here, as in the case of the counties, that there are no reports of any other chbo• tereter, tut-we • can truly ,say that ,there is no real sat o ft : The 1 - few cgs - ex - In which-the , balance' has turned Against the-eortseive tives are such as will have no influence on the twill. If Fins bury, for instance, has added a thousand or two more of radi cals to her registry; what matters it? Finsbury has already done its worst—not even Finsbury itself can descend below ' Duncombe and Wakley. So in Cambridge the conservatives have managed by a blunder to fail in all their objections; all that follows is, that the present members may, perhaps, keep their scats. If in' Hull the radicals have gained 200, as some accounts say, or eighty, as others, still what can the whigs or radicals gain by that? Have they not the seats already? And this remark applies to nearly all the supposed gains of the whi(s radical party. The gain is, in nearly every case, merely the hope of not losing, - They attempt to keep up their spirits under the loss of a score or two of seats by remembering that there are others which they have not lost. In other words, it is made a matter of much glorying that they are not beaten everywhere. A word in parting on one expression used by the Chronicle. It says, "We have stated the general result of the registration from the sources of information open to us." Now we know well what those "sources of information" are, and we will give a single specimen of the degree of reliance that may safely be placed on them. On the 9th of last month the Chronicle sum med up the report of the revision of the county voters in the city of London with the following statement:— Objections by the reformers l5B Sustained 7B Now we are well aware that the objections taken by the Reform Club in this case were 158, or thereabouts; but the other figure is only useful as showing how far even the Morning Chronicle may be imposed upon. Seventy-eight objections taken by the Reform Club are said to have been sustained. Now we will not bind the Morning Chronicle to prove half of what it has asserted; that would, perhaps, be asking too much. But we will make this open and fair offer. If our contemporary will just refer to its informant, and will send us the names of even as many as twenty-eight, instead of seventy-eight, o f these par ties against whom the refoimers' objections are said to have been sustained, such list being shown to be correct, we will fur-, ward to the Morning Chronicle for the use of the said Middlesex Reform Club a donation of ten pounds. But why do we dwell upon this little incident? Merely to show both to the Morning Chronicle and to the public upon what delusive information that journal and its dupes are relying. For we happen to know that " that the sources of information which are now open to it," and of which it speaks so confidently as regards England at large, are just the very same- which palmed upon it only last month this monstrous Middlesex fabrication. EXTRAORDINARY PIKE.—The finest jack that has been caught in the Thames for many years was taken a few days since by B, B. Williams, E s q., o f Formosv, near Maidenhead. It weighed 1911 b, and measured round the shoulders 19 inches. It was forwarded immediately to the king at "Windsor. by whom, and by the inhabitants of the Castle,'it was declared Co be as fine a fish of the kind as they had ever seen. THE LINTHRPOOL STANDARD. THE RAILWAY MANIA. In a preceding number we made some observations on the railway mania, for, although advocates for rail ways, as being of national benefit, and in- many in stances of pecuniary advantageto the shareholder, still we are bound to express our opinions as to the premi ums on the shares; and to this subject, from the rise during the past week, our attention is again directed; while, the table which accompanies the present remarks will, we think, not only attract the attention of the pub lic, but induce them to reflect on the results likely to at tend the excess to which we consider speculation is being carried at this moment. It will be seen from the state ment to which we refer, and which does not include the whole, that no less than thirty-two companies have been lately projected, whose capital amounts to £31,570,000, and the number of shares into which such capital is di vided is 544,300. The following companies, viz.: The London and Birmingham, Great Western, London and Greenwich, London and Brighton, Midland Counties, f . and London and -Blackwell, have paid upwards o £1,800,000; and the market price of the shares it. now £3,800,000., showing an advance in the price o £2,000,000, and leaving an unpaid capital of nearly £7,000,000, to be hereafter raised for the . objects of those companieS alone. When we reflect on the time that must elapse ere any return can possibly be made, and the vast snins expended by the London and Birmingham, Great Western, Lon don and Southampton; and other Companies, in their proceedings through parliament, it is a matter of stn. , prise how the public can think- of giving such excessive premiums on shares of companies which have not yet even applied for their bill, while they must naturally, especially on the long lines, calculate on opposition. The Great Western Railroad shares have, in public es timation, we will not say in that of the capitalist who_ looks to investment, been actually raised in two or three hours £150,000 in value, having advanced on Thursday, from .£l6 to £22 premium on 30,000 shares, and how few are there who ever enquire the numb& of, shares of which a Company is composed. Since our former obser vations: on this subject, we have been charged with hay"- ing a prejudice against railroads we declare honestly that no such prejudice exists, but,' on the contrary, that We are anxious and willing to lend our aid in promoting their success, and our columns are at all times open to "communications calculated to effect that object. Wn must, however, regardless of private interests or friendly feelings, do our duty in expressing the opinions we en tertain as regards premiums;—and while we shalt use our best exertions to "write down" shares, so farfas ex cessive prices are concerned, it will ever be our earnest endeavour to uphold rail-roads.—Mining Journal. THE REGISTRATION. (From the Standard.) We have drawn from a variety of provincial journals many details of the result of this year's registration, and we will now present them in a succinct and digested form. We will also observe, in this place, that if any common feature of resemblance ought to convey a gene ral impression in a matter of this kind, as surely it ought, such impression, strikingly favourable to the con servative cause, Would be given by the fact that, while all the conservative journals throughout the country are very open and frank in their statements and reports of the registration, the journals on the other side follow quite an opposite course ; and, with a few exceptions, have shrouded the matter in vague generalities, or pre sented only those fragments of districts which told in their party's favour. But we pass to the facts which we have succeeded in collecting, beginning with the Conservative I Radical objections. 1 objections. COUNTIES Taken qustained Taken. !Sustained LORD MULGRAVE'S TOUR IN IRELA.ND. • (From the Dublin Evening Mail.) BALLYCASTLE..-01 course you will be anxious to hear of the effect produced by the appearance of Mr. O'Connell's Lieute nant-Govern-Jr, within the boundaries of the county of Antrim. If, like his master, the servant be ambitions of mob-approba tion, his vanity must have been sorely disappointed; for, anv thing more wretched or more ludicrous could not be conceived. Before entering the town one of the traces broke, and the postillion (not being a member of the Temperance Society,) having fallen into disgrace with the Viceroy, at the same time that he fell from his horse, was forthwith dismissed from Nis office " about the court." A cooper who happened to be an accidental spectator of the casualty, was elevated to the vacant seat o' the' instant, and, with h►s leathern apron tastefully tucked up under his unshorn chin, twigged (not tooled) the wretched posters along in their triumphal progress. Before reaching the final destination of the procession, five old women were tumbled bv the throng (it being fair day) over their respective baskets of apples, an event that appeared to produce a much greater sensation in the minds of the be. holders than even the approach of the great o—Mulgrave himself. _ _ _ But the crowning circumstance of the day was his Excel lency's reception, and the presentation of the address. To give suitable eclat to the former, there were assembled the parish priest of Carey, and three or four other of the long-skirted gentry, and an Arian teacher, who were busily employed in conning or spelling over the document, the original of which I enclose you, it having been left in the inn after the Viceregal party had taken their departure. The only equipage which graced the procession was a jaunt ing -ear, on which Father Walsh and his niece were seated; and there was not a single decent person in the town who paid the slightest attention to the proceedings of the day. THE ORIGINAL ADDRESS. " To his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, Governor and General Governor of Ireland. " We, the Roman Catholicks of the Parish of Colfeightrin, beg to approache your Excellency with Sintiinents of the most profound respect. We hail in your Excellency cys Person from your known attochment to liberal and ginerous principals, a giasious dissposition on the part of his Majesty to promote those kind and salutory measures that will tend to the wellfare and happeness of our coentry. Yeur Excellenoy will excuse the imperfacting of this Address, having no timely notice of, bour Excellency cys visit to this pert of the Kingdom; but we. eg to say that our best feelings and most warm attocliment are secured in your Excelly's person and Guvrnment. "The If omen Catholcks of Culfeightrin. " Octr. 27th." " L. WALSH, P.P. His ExCELLENCY'S RECEpT•ION IN NEW Ry.-011 Sunday it ass bruited about that the Lord Lieutenant would arrive in. Newry yesteiday morning; the time and circumstancesconnect ed with his reception seem to have been well known by the Ro man Catholic population ; for, with some portion of them, the anxious inquiry was, as a correspondent acquaints us, ," Blar au-ages ! an' must we all approach his MaiestyP On inquiry, we uscertainod that a circular note had been sent, late on the previous evening, by Denis C. Brady, Esq., the Radical, alias Repeal Member for this borough, 'to the Seneschal and magis trates informing them that he had received a communication from Colonel Yorke, Private Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant, intimating the period of his Excellency's arrival in Newry, and requesting to know if they, the Seneschal and other magistrates, would "join iii any manifestation' of respect to his Excellency ?" T. this note, we understand, the constitut e d au thorities of the town replied with that spirit and promptitude which we would have expected. 'their reply was, we believe, to this effect—that although at all times anxious to evince their respect to the King's representative, yet, that being in utter ignorance of what the in tentions of Mr. Brady and his party were, and, of course, of the nature of - the " manifestation" alluded to, they would not give any pledge on the subject. About, half-past ten o'clock yester day marning, aguard of honour of the 33d regiment, command. ed by Colonel knight, was drawn up, and lined the street in front of Davis's Hotel. A trumpeter was stationed at the Sugar-island stone-bridge to give note of the first appearance of the viceregal cortege; and, about ten minutes before eleven, his Excellency arrived in Hill-street, the band striking up the na tional anthem. His Excellency and the Countess of Mulgrave were assisted from their travelling carriage by—Mr. Brady ! and ushered into Davis's Great Room, which was used as a pre sence chamber. Notwithstanding the rain, which fell inces santly, a large crowd had collected in the street, the day, Saint Monday, as it is called, being an idle one amongst the generality of tradesmen in Newry. Soon after the Lord Lieutenant's ar rival, it was notified to Mr. Brady, by the A. I). C. in waiting' that his Excellency was quite ready to receive the address. A deputation, headed by the " Honourable" factotum, Mr. Brady, was then ushered into the Viceregal pretence, and two or three of its members were formally introduced to his Excellency, who bowed to them with much dignity, but did not, it appears, con descend to the slightest approach of cordiality. The address — where or by whom concocted, or signed, it is needless to inquire —was then read by Mr. Brady, and very briefly replied to by the Viceroy. The Roman Catholic Bishop, the. Right Reve rend Doctor Blake, accompanied by several of his clergy, then advanced, and presented an address to his Excellency. DUNDALK, Nov. 2.—His excellency, Earl Mulgrave, has • just (one o'cloCk) passed through our town, escorted by a cavalcade of the 14th Light Dragoons, now quartered here. While changing horses at the inn, a few of our worthy, and as the sequel will prove, highly respectable townsmen presented him with a splendid address,l representing, no doubt, (the radi cal press will at least say so,) the sentiments of the loyal and influential portion of the community. In the Commercial News-room—a news-room, by the bye, confined to the Roman catholic shopkeepers of our town—a deputation was hastily got up this morning for the purpose of waiting upon his excellency with the address in question. On that memorable occasion there were about sixteee persons assembled, comprised chiefly of priests and publicans—a goodly display, you will say, in tended to represent such a town as Dundalk, containing, as it does, aboutl4,ooo inhabitants. Upon his excellency's arrival, the gentlemen—l should have said esquires—just alluded to, were joined by, perhaps, 150 of the most influential and re spectable butchers, porters, and others in the neighbourhood. It is, I presume, unnecessary to add, that the deputation was received by his excellency with his accustomed politeness and condecension. One thing, however, l thought rather singular that, 'amid so numerous and highly respectable an assemblage, there was no such thing as even a cheer of approbation; but, perhaps, the circumstance may be accounted for by the fact that he was unaccompanied by the Right lion. Daniel O'Connell. DRoGHED a, Nov. 2.—lt haviug been notified to the inhabi tants of this town, that his excellency the Earl of Mulgrave would pass through on his return from his northern tour, I re paired at the appointed hour (two o'clock), in order to witness his lordship's arrival, and also to convey to your truly valuable journal the best information I could collect. His reception was such as we anticipated a short time previous to his arrival—a few flags were displayed from the windows of some of the adja cent houses. I own I was disappointed at not seeing the weaver's flag exhibited; but I suppose the colours (orange and blue) were considered rather mat a propos for the occasion. About three o'clock his excellency arrived, accompanied b y the Countess of Mulgrave and one aid-de-camp; faint shout (1 cannot call it a cheer) was raised by the congregated rabble. His lordship alighted white fresh horses were being fixed to his carriage, and appeared on the balcony of Keappock's hotel, which was deco rated with green. At first the mob did not appear to recognize him till a voice from the assembled raggarnuffins cried out — "there's Alulgrare horror' A shout followed, to which he repeatedly bowed, and then retired. - Among the nobility and gentry who mustered to greet the lieutenant of Dan, we ob. served w host of priests, butchers, grocers, and huxters, too numerous to mention; and though last, not least, the popish justices of the peace, Messrs. Carty, Ennis, Gernon, Tiernan, and Co. John Cheshire, Esq., was appointed to present a con gratulatory address to his excellency upon his safe return from amongst "the bloody orangemen of the north," accompanied with an invitation to honour the democracy of Drogheda with his presence at a dinner on a future occasion. I confess I was truly rejoiced to hear that his lordship, with a spirit becoming his rank and dignity, positively refused to accept of either. I presume that the indifferent reception with which his excellency met on his last passing through, so totally disgusted him, that he was feign to dispense with the attendance of the above-named gentlemen. His excellency left the town at about half-past three, in the same manner as he entered, unaccompanied by a vehicle of any description. A company of the 89th Regiment awaited as a guard of honour to receive his excellency at the hotel. CHALLENGE FROM MR. ROTCH, THE COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX CHAIRMAN, TO THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. There has been a good deal of conversation on the subject of a very remarkable occurrence—the delivery of a challenge to the chief magistrate of London from the chief magistrate of. Middlesex. the following is the version given by one of our contemporaries:—Mr. Hutch, in making the returns of the Middlesex magistrates to the Lords relative to the prison of Newgate, appended a long note, stating several charges against the Court of Mayor and Aldermen, amongst which it was spe cified that the returns made annually to the House of Com mons showed a mixture of deceit and insufficiency, and that the county gaol was only made available for such .county prisoners as were, by the fees paid on their trial or conviction, likely to enrich the city purse. In the Court of Aldermen, on, Tuesday week, Alderman Thomas Wood, in a very indignant manner, repelled these accusations, and declared them to be a tissue of 'wilful and deliberate falsehoods, the snore remarkable, and . cal s culated to do the more mischief,_fram having- been gravely etated by aperson holding the situation of a ma . gistrate and a judge. This was evidently the feeling of the - where - 6'AM; and the Lord Mayor expressed that feeling by briefly remarking that the court was much indebted to Aid. T. Wood for bringing forward this scandalous matter. After a few other observations the subject dropped in the court, but it was not doomed to drop so soon elsewhere. On the day the. account appeared in the newspapers impugning the veracity of Mr. notch, a gentleman waited not upon Alderman Thoinas Wood, but upon the Lord Mayor, and in the name of the chairman of the Middlesex magistrates, desired to know whether his lordship made ace of the words above stated, as the Lord Mayor's comment. Te this his lordship, we are informed, replied, that it would .be quite time enough to speak upon that subject when Mr. Rotel -, should have purged himself of the charge of having made the calum nious statements in his gratuitous observations addressed to the Lords. Mr. Retch soon afterwards sent another friend to the Lord Mayor, and required that his lordship should either apolo gise for the language he had thought proper to use, or appoint his time and place for deciding the matter with pistols. To this terrific message it is said the Lord Mayor replied by point ing to the door, and desiring the messenger to walk out. The chairman then wrote to the Lord Mayor his opinions, very we equovically expressed, upon the whole transaction, and his lordship, with the advice of every one to whom he spoke upon the subject, directed the city solicitor to give Mr. Retch notice that a criminal information would be moved for against him. This was done by the recorder on Afouday, and a rule granted. PROGRESS OF SCRIPTURAL RELIGION. Although popery, in a political point of view, appears on the ascendant., spiritually - it is declining - . We rejoice that, in per fect confidence of the fact, we can AY3tlrti our readers that on a recent Sabbath, Fifty Roman Catholic convert' reueiyed the Sacrament in the church of King's Court, county Cavan, The holy labours of that pious christ►an lady, now, alas ! no more, have not been altogether unproductive of a spiri.ual harvest ; -the priests of Baal have not been wholly successful in uprooting from the moral soil the seeds .of divine nourishment which had been cest,upon it. Like the early blades of corn, rolled and crushed, the germs of gospel truth will revegetate with greater vigour. • ~ When we combine with this the facts that, maugre priestly prohibition_ and the most active opposition, the lower orders of Roman catholics in many parts of Ireland are, such of them as con read, indulging in the perusal of the Bible; that the en lightened and spiritually independent Roman catholic clergymen are recurring to the primitive purity of their professed faith ; that the very popish hierarchy, in defensive discussions which they would willingly avoid, sensible of their weakness, are be trayed into admissions in favour of protestantism, and which bring them nearer to the purity of the christiau faith, we cannot doubt, suffering for a season though we may, that the band of God is in the work, and will consummate it iu his own time.— Warder. LIVERPOOL POLICE. THURSDAY.— (Before the MaYoe.) Frederick Johnson and George Thoinpsou, two young thieves about thirteen years old, were charged with picking Oa pockets of a gentleman, a stranger who had left town, of a silk hand kerchief. The robbery was proved by a bystander who saw the offence committed and took the offenders into custody. Mr. Batcheldor identified them as old offenders, and they were both committed to Kirkdale for three months as reputed thieves. In tae course of the sitting three other boys, about the same age, were brought up for similar offences, and received the same punishment. George Williams was put to the bar for entering the forecastle of a ship, breaking open a chest, and robbing George Roberts, a sailor, of his clothes. When apprehended, the prisoner was attired in the garments of Roberts, of which he was stripped. He was committed for trial. A car-driver was brought upon a charge of embezzlement. It appeared that ha had received the sum of three shillings and sixpence which he had not accounted for. Committed for trial. AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE.—Ana Hale, a young . woman who had been discharged from Kirkdale on the prev►ous day, was brought up, for the 105th time, for being riotous, drunk, and dis orderly. In her defence she urged, first, that she had only taken one glass of liquor, and secondly, that this was herfirst ofence— that is, since her discharge from prison—and therefore prayed his worship's indulgence; she furthermore most solemnly pro mised to be on her good behaviour for the future if mercy were now extended to her. On this promise she was told to go about her business. ROBBING PUBLIC-HOUSES.—John, alias William Scott, a respectable-lookiug young man about twenty years of age, was charged with entering . public-houses for the purpose of robbing them of any light articles chance might throw in his way. A waiter from the Gulden Lion, Dale-street, stated that the pii soner had entered the commercial room of that house and con trived to purloin two silver table-spoous, four salt-spoons and two silver forks, which were missed immediately after his depar ture. As these articles were not found upon the prisoner the evidence of. this witness was not taken down. Owen Williams, the son of a publican in Leeds-street, proved that the prisoner entered the parlour of his father's house on the pretence that he expected some one to meet him there. From this house he pocketed four shells which were found upon his person. The wife of another publican in Leeds-street, Mary Holby, swore that the prisoner entered her bar-parlour and stole a mustard pot and a silver spoon, which were also found upon the pri soner, and identified by this witness as her husband's property. The prisoner, on being asked who and what he was, replied, that he was an architect, and had been in the service of Mr. Lang, of Manchester. He said that he had nothing.to offer in his de fence. The officer who took Scott into custody found upon his person a letter from his (Scbtes) sister, deploring the vicious course of t life he had adopted, and imploring him, In forcible and excellent language, which• did honour both to her head and heart, to deiert the wretched set of people he was associating with, that be might not bring disgrace upon the members of a hitherto respectable family. Committed for trial. Richard Gorman, a strange outre-looking man, was fined ten shillings for obstructing the public hignways by selling ballads, which it appeared he occasionally sung. EXPOSING UNWHOLESOME ARTICLES FOR SALE IN THE PULIc MARKETS.—Richard Wheeler, one of the inspectors of St. John's Market, summoned Elizabeth Rowlands for exposing three geese for sale on the 17th October last, the same being un fit for food. The case being proved, the defendant was fined five shillings, with the costs of the summons. Ann Aspinall was summoned by the same officer for exposing a quantity of fish for sale iu a state of decomposition. The Mayor, iu consequence of this being . the defendant's first of fence remitted the penalty and dismissed the case on the pay ment of costs. Ellen Owens was also summoned for exposing a qu of fish for sale in Pownall-square which were unwholesome. being the first offence the case was dismissed on paymea costs. RADICALISM IN THE PRINCIPALITY. (From a Crrespondent.) At the Ruthin Hunt Ball, which took place on the 23d tilts in the body of the. County Hall, at Radii'', John Madocks Esq., of Glanywern, ex-Whig-radical M.P. for the Denbigh shire boroughs and a magistrate of the county conceived him self personally insulted by the motto, "Church and King," which had been put np in the Hall' about nine months pre viously. Not only did he say that he felt personally insulted by the motto, but that if it were not immediately removed he would quit the room!—to do away with all captious motives for politi cal animosity in the festive hour,, , ladders were obtained and " Church and King" pulled down. Incretlibe as it may ap pear, it is a fact, that in the King's Hall of Justice, the old con stitutional motto, " Church and King," was pulled down at the instigation of a magistrate of the county who could not bear the sight of it! The same gent. was comptroller of the hunt, and the same rabid whig-radical feeling appeared in the toasts, some of which, by inference, at least showed an enmity to our institutions. liistead of "Church and King," the first toast was "The King," and even this may be considered quite a god-send from the quarter where it emanated. Instead of " The members for the county," the toast given was, " Sir NV. W. Wynn, the member for the county." The uoble heart of Welkin is encircled with the affections of Welshmen ; and the slight intended- to the Hon. W. Begot was passed over in the rapturous cheers with which the company acknowledged the toast. But to make the insult more apparent the Hon. W. Begot was atlerwards pro posed in the following form :—" The :idler member for the county." This toast was received with true conservative wel come, and the peculiar manner in which the toast had been given only served to make its reception more loudly cheered. After " The members fur the conuty," the bishop and clergy of the diocese used to receive from public meetings in Denbigh shire the tribute of reverence and affection due to their rank and character; but in this instance the bishop was excluded, and the clergy were insulted by the omission, the toast given being " - The archdeacon of Merionethshire and the clergy." LWe give place to the above, as we are sure our readers will peruse it, with feelings of indignation. We are astonished that the good and loyal men of Ituthin suffered this fellow to insult their King and his court in so insolent a manlier. and that, in. stead of pulling the motto down, they did not kick him out of the room. Such indignities should not be suffered no matter what festivities they may interrupt.--.L.S.] NEWTON BAZAAR. The greater part of the articles exhibited at this Bazaar were disposed of.

BIGAMY.—At the Old Bailey, on Thursday, Robert Edwaid Bruce, alias Robert de Bruce, aged 33, described in the calen dar as a soldier, was indicted for intermarrying with Henrietta Barber, his wife, Jane Rosalind, being then alive. The circum stances of this case having appeared in the police reports only a few days back, it is unnecessary to restate them. The learned judge sa►d that, in his opinion, the prisoner had not proved that any divorce had taken place between him and his first wife, be cause he bad not satisfied the court of the legality of the paper he had produced. The divorce might have effect in Sweden, but it certainly could not in this country. The learned judge adverted to a case in which a divorce bad been obtained by a wife in the Coneistoriat Court of Scotland, and the husband having married again, he was indicted for bigamy. The judges all held that a divorce in any foreign court was of no force in England. That was the law of the case ; the jury would decide. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty.

BY the Ranger, Captain Gray, which arrived yester day, we have accounts from Bombay to the 21st of June. Cotton still maintained its unprecedented high prices.-- Coffee was also advancing considerably, in consequence of the Pacha of Egypt having monopolized the trad4 of Mocha, and no nibre being expected to find its way take Bombay market. The export market continued in a did! state, particularly for metals. DANIEL and RAPHAEL—Bow-street and the House of Correction—must not be allowed to sink into oblivion. Every day furnishes new illustrations of this most ne farious job. As fresh-light is thrown upon it, additional frauds are detected; and its baseness and demoralising tendency, as respects other parties, are more clearly de veloped, and assume a more repulsive form. We. beg attention to the following points :—DANIEL says that on the 21st of June he received information of the result of the Carlow electiOn froth a cabinet minister. The 21st of June was a Sunday—a day on which rro letters are delivered. He received it at half-past three o'clock—an hour when no mails arrive. The Carlow election ended on the previous Friday, and consequently nothing bUt a vigorous express, a life and limb race. could have carried the news in so short a space of time to London. Who, then, was the cabinet minister who was in correspondence with O'CONNELL, and took such an in terest in the Carlow election ? It is no matter who he was, or what is his name. It is sufficient to know that a cabi net minister thus played the part of postman to DANIEL- It is abundantly proved that O'CoNNE44. Ater had at his -.., . . disposal the cabinet expresses, or that a minister of the crown was expending the public money in forwarding his views or ministering to his desires. The 'intimate connexion between O'CONNELL and the4pabinet---be •tween the traitor and the King's servan Ween the ta slanderer of the peers and certain lords, ' ' fibers of the house he assailed and denounced—is thus clearly proved. All the art of man cannot clear the government of the charge of being parties, by one of their members, to the jobbing transactions of O'CONNELL, if not participators in his fraud upon RAPHAEL and the electors of Carlow. tut pass we over this for the present. Deeper guilt lies behind the scene. The tale is not half told. It 1304 V turns out that the man 'who plucked and, pillaged the simpleton, Mr. RAPHAEL—who pocketed sixteen hundred and fifty pounds of his money, by giving bills at long dates for that amount, all the while that the ready cash was conveyed to his own pocket—the man, the bold, bad, unprincipled man who did this allowed his own son, ein phatically called JOHN, to be a member of the committee before whom the merits of the Carlow election were tp be tried I It is hardly credible, but it is a fact, that Joint O'CoN NELL, the son of DANIEL, the sun of the man who pocket ed RAPHAEL'S two thousand pounds, and who appears in the correspondence as the regular dun of RAPHAEL fer the money—who was sent to receive, and - did receive, the first thousand pounds—who was sent pressingly to rem;'l:.-. ceive, and did receive, the second thousand pounds—this very person, with the second thousand pounds in his pocket, was elected one of the committee to try the merits of the petition. His election by ballot, it is true, might have been matter of chance; but chance did k not compel him to sit in a case in . which his father was so deeply concerned, and of whose pecuniary connexion t with it he was the best witness. He had received RA PHAEL'S money in the name and on account of his father —he knew the whole bearings of the case—he knew that bribery and corruption was at the bottom and on all sides of it—and yet he sits in judgment upon a petition of which he could not possibly be an honest or impartial adjudicator! Can such things be without our special wonder ? Wha t an afflicting lesson does a father here set to his son ! Hew' dead must his moral feelings have been when he permit tea his own son to be witness of his baseness and venality What must such a son, if trained in the paths of honour and christian duty, have thought of the author of his pc ing—who could make him an instrument to recover tiW. price of crime—to stain his hands with filthy bribes, 0 . 0 then suffer him to sit as a juror in a matter where his fa - ', titer's interest was so touchingly concerned! We cannot dwell on such baseness. It is far beyond ordinary depra vity. It is inexpressibly disgusting. But such are the facts to which the attention of parlia ment must be called as soon as it meets. The transaction must be sifted to the bottom. If there be any justice in England, O'CONNELL'S connection with Ilatofaet. end the Carlow election must be the subject of strict investi-. gation. We dare the ministry to screen him. The peo ple of England will demand a true search-warrant and & full inquiry into the matter. Who is the corrupt jobber , the seat seller, and the vender of boroughs and counties, must be proved and made plain to the meanest under' standing. Whep this is done, justice will be done, bu t not otherwisa. But from all appearancei, and consider— ing the atrocious circumstances of the case, we suspect that DANIEL O'CONNELL will not have the hardihood to meet parliament. Will ministers make him an Trish judge? They dare not. A judge, indeed ! If so, the tread-mill and the hulks would be the road to the bench '• We are sorry that it is not yet in our power to lay be' fore our readers a correct list of the radical aspirants for the high honour of being members of the privy counci l , to the future mayors of Liverpool.
