He testified that he lived in Temple-buildings, with his inether. He knew Thomas Jones and John Williams, and had been intimate. with them about eight weeks. He met there first at Peggy - Cunliffe't, in ,Preston-street. The witness here detailed how he, - id company With Tommy Jones and Johnny Williams, had gone several times to the shop of Mr. Smith, .and, by various devices, sue 4ceeded in purloining glass utensils, of differeht sorts, from the shop. These they had taken to Heuderson, .and received •money for them. Those articles-named in the' indictment more particularly he had not stolen himself, but he had seenthe pro glass of the theft. They were four ass dishes, which the per sons who stole them had. taken to - Headerson.E. P. Lloyd, police-officer, deposed that lie had gone, in company with Mr. Smith's daughter and shopman, to the tap kept .by Henderson,' in Hood-street. Here .he saw the dishes in question standing vu the table of the apartment, and they were immediately iden tified, by Miss Smith and the. shopman, as some which- had been . recently stolen from them. He searched further, - and found a number of other elegant glass articles, most of which turned ' out to have been stolen from. Mr. Smith.—Jonathan Reynolds proved that various articles had, 'from' time to time; beets missed put of their shop, but how they had - been cohveyed away they could not conjecture. 1.15 - nv of them were the articles which had been discovered at Henderson's cellar. at the time mens tioned by Lloyd.—The jury !Mind the prisoner guilty. There was another indictment against hicia, which the- Recorder ob jected to going into. The latter seemed disposed to deal mildly with the prisoner, from an apparent impression that he would amend his errors. The prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. _ UTTERING BASE COlN.—John. Relay and Bridget Clark were indicted., charged with having, on the 14th of September last, knowingly and wilfully uttered certaincouhterfeit pieces of coin, resembling shillings. - 'lhe prisoners pleaded not guilty.—Ricbd. Hartley deposed that on the above 'date the prisoners entered his shop and asked to look at some handkerchiefs, such as were in the window. He complied, and the female prisoner agreed to purchase one of them. The price was 2d., and the prisoner tendered a shilling is payment, which witness : discovered to be a bad one. The prisoners then left the shop, and Mr. Hartley, having his suspicionsaroased, went out and watched them. He saw the prisoner Ryley go to the shop . of Mrs: Gardiner and purchase something, for which he peid and -received change. Witness went over to Mrs: Gardiner's shop, when the prisoner had taken his departare °and asked. what the prisoner hadpaid.. He was then shown a. ahilling,.which. was of the same descrip tion as the one which„had, been offered to bins, had then no doubt of the occupation:of the prisoners. Secinafter.heilact returned to his own shop he 'saw the prisoneis piss, .aecom-• panied by a man. He rushed oht end seized the prisoners at the bar, but the man fled and escaped.. When the lad Ryley was in custody at Mr.- -Hartley's shop, lie stood near a pile of stockings, beneath which, on its. removal, was- found another counterfeit shilling.—Sarah Gardiner stated that she remem bered the prisoner Ryley to trete entered her--shop and pur chased a pie, which he paid her for with the shilling which Mr. Hartley had pronounced to -be a counterfeit.—'The coin were produced by Mr. Parlour, who described them both as counter-, feits, both of the same Metal, but of.different moulds.—The jury found both prisoners guilty. • Sentenced to six months' impra , 'moment in Lancaster Castle.. . • • • James Burke was indicted under-a -charge of having wilfully• and feloniously uttered certain .counterfeit pieces of coin called sixpences on the 6th of October last.—Margaret Keeling de posed that she lived with her son-ia-law, Edward -Harper. Re membered the prisoner at the bar having- entered the shop and bought a twopenny pie Emil her. He gave her a sixpence, out of which she gave him fourpence. She did - not then perceive that it was bad, but she discovered it afterwards. It was very bright, and she laid it in a-corner of the drawer by itself. She ' gave it to her son-in-law when he came in.— .Edward Harper -deposed that he had seen the sixpence which his mother-ia-law had pointed out to him, and had pronounced it to be a bad one. Asked her where she had . got it-from, and she said she ha d . taken it from an Irishman. On the evening of the same day Ellen Butterworth came to' him, as he was takiug a glass of ale, and desired him to go to the shop, as the person who had paid the bad sixpence was again there. -He went and secured the prisoner, and kept him in custody till police-officer M'Comb - came and took him to Bridewell.—Ellen Butterworth stated that she resided with .Mr. Harper. Remembered the prisoner having called at the shop on the morning in question, and paid a bad sixpence to Mrs. Meeting. At six o'clock in - the evening she was taking care of,the shop when the prisoner again came in and asked for a penny roll, for which he tendered sixpence. Witness knew him again. She told him that she had not change, but she would run out and get it. She immediately ran over to Mr. Harper and informed him. He went over to the shop and took the prisoner into custody. The jury found the prisoner guilty. He was sentenced. to six mouths' impri sonment. SATURDAY. John Lewis, a Frenchman, and late seaman on board the American ship Constitution, Wilson, from Philadelphia, was indicted, under charge of having, on Friday last, stolen certain articles from a bale of goods which had been shipped in the above vessel. Henry Wynn, chief mate of the Constitution, deposed, that, on the above-mentioned day, he sent the prisoner between decks to do some work. Shortly afterwards he (prisoner) went ashore, when the dock policeman un the quay, observing that the pri soner looked unnaturally bulky, asked him what he had got. He said "nothing." The policeman immediately put his hand into the prisoner's bosom, and pulled forth ei . .,•'ait handsome com forters. The prisoner then said he that had uh there of them. The duck-policeman, however, was of another opinion ; ho thrust his hand agatu into the prisonee.shostn and drew -oat seven more similar articles. These comforters had been stolen from a bale of goods in , the vessel... Witness found-that a large :1101, had been cut im the bale through which the articles had been taken. . , ,‘ - Verdict, Guilty. The court sentenced the prisoner to three alohthe imprisonment. • _ • ,' Thomas Powell pleaded not guilty to anindictment charging 'him with having felotliouisly receive4seVeri bales.oleotton, the property of Samuel Taylor HobSon.and partners,.he well-know sag them to have been stolen.

On the 6th of May last -received 106 S biles of cotton from the ship Ellen, which:cotton he eon Veyed to Montgomery'er warehouse in Wapping4ane.. • In this Warehouse the prosecutors had two rooms; the cotton above-Mentioned was placed in these rooms, (Nos. 2. and 34' On the 28th of May witness went to these rooms and counted over the bales, the number of which he then found correct. He did not again revisit these rooms till the.lst of September, when .he'discevered that :itiven bales of cotton had been removed; thelocks of the doer* &c. being all sound as when he bad left , them. , I . From'the roe o No. 2. had been taken three bales, marked H. in a circle, and from No. 3 four bales, marked B. in alriangle:', On the2-Ith of SepteMber he accompanied police-officer Ainsworth to Manchester. 'They went to the cotton-mill 6f a person, named I:3l'adliury, and he' ( witness) there identified three of the bales; the'other four having been worked up. Robert Rushton, a carter, deposed that onthe29th Of August he was engaged, by a man who lOblzed tiafaretioitsernan, to cart seven bales of cotton . from Aolitgornery'Savarehouse, ping -line, to the Railway Station: , Having received the cotton he drove off. On his way, he met the prisoner at the bar who gave him further directions. He had set clOwn the cotton at, the Railway, and the prisoner had paid him the Cartage: The clerks of the railway stations at both ends proved the re ception, transmission, and delivery to the prisoner of these seven bales of cotton. William Bradbury stated, that he was a cotton-spinner at -Oldham. This witness proved the purchase from the prisoner at his warehouse, of seven bales of Orleans cotton, weighing 26 cwt. 16 lbs., at 8. 3 ,t1 per lb., for which he paid. £lO2 12s. 2d. It was three of these bales that were afterwards identified by Copeland, Police-officer Ainsworth proved, that the prisoner bad endea voured to make his escape over the Wall of his back yard, when he (Ainsworth) had knocked at the door in Manchester. Sub sequent testimony established a close eonuexion between the prisoner and a warehouseman of Mesirs. Hobson and Co., who has since absconded. The jury, after a very short consultation, found the prisoner guilty. The court sentenced him to trausportation for fourteen 'years. RIOTS OF JULT 12 AND 13. The trial of the prisoners concerned in the disgraceful riots on the 12th and 13th of July last took place, by a preVious ap. pointment, on Saturday morning. The fourteen prisoners con cerned in the first riot having pleaded not guilty, Mr. Raincock stated the case for the prosecution. Mr. Venables who ap peared to defend the prisoners, stated, that they were now ready to withdraw that plea and •to plead 'guilty. The Town-clerk then read over a second indictment against the twenty-eight prisoners who had been concerned in the riot of the -- 13th-Jtily: These prisoners also pleaded guilty. 'The court then adjourned for a short time. After a delay of nearly two hours, the Re. corder and Mr. Alderman Horsf4ll returned to the court. The prisoners included in the first indictment were then Drought up, and the Recorder passed sentence on them as follows : Six months' imprisonment in Lancaster Castle—John Ford. Four months' ditto—Maurice Quirk, William 'Loughlici,ind James Bowman. They had , been ollt on bail.. ' • • - Three months—John - Al`lntvre and Patrick Fitzpatrick.

The furniture is (4 a superb discriptiou, and the style of the age of Louis XIV. is taken as a model. In France, the soldiers call with a word of contempt, ',evil'', all those who are not soldiers. A high officer, still lividg, had been invited to a dinner party at Talleyratid's. Ile kept thein Waiting fur almost half an -hour; at last he cisme, and excused' himself by saying that he had been detained so long by' a piquin. Talleyrand asked the meaning of the word. "We :call those Pequin" said the other, " who are not military." " Ah," an swered the diplomatist, "and we; in like - manner, call those /unitary who are not civil."' EXTRACT FROM THE PHILADELpHT A rnEEMAN'S JOIANAL. '—" Every discovery, no matter of what nature, in a lesser or greater degree, adds lustre to the human mind, and reflects credit on the individual who, by his zeal, industry, and re= searches, has brought toperfection such discovery.

I have been l e d to this renittrk, by having seen the wondrous effects produced by the' application of :Oldiidge's Balm Of Columbia upon those who had been bald, or whose laair had been thin and weak. From the respectability of the recommenders of this precious capillary restoring and preserving balm, and f'rena conversations with others who haVe made trial of it, I was induced to use it, in order to satisfy myself. I was hereditarily bald, and was the sport of , iny juvenile associates, whom nature had end o wed with this ornamental Clefhing: Their scoffs and jEers I bore with a philosophical froidenr. After having tried a great variety of unctions, none of which had the effect of .pre- Veuting the falling off, much less of restoring to me. my hair, I consequently declined them, after pat)ent and reiterated attempts . as spurious in toto. Still anxious, its an a dvanced period of age,'. .`,,° appear no older than I really stat, I resorted`to Oldridge's Balm, and to my utter astonishment' and to the wonder of those Rho grew with 'my growth, strengthened with' . my strength, 4 nd declined into the vale of years with me, I can boast as fine a covering of hair as any of may acciaaintance, from sixteen to thirty years of age." OLintIDGE'S BALM causes whiskers and eve -brows to Fraw, prevents the hair from turning'grey, and the first applica ;lon makes it curls beautifully, frees it.frona scurf, and stops the hair front falling off.

TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 3, 1835 Our attention. has been called 'to., an advertisement Which appears in the. Liverpool .Chronicle of Saturday Week, in Which a redundancy of slander and -abuse, bOr;. , rowed from an American paper,. is -heaped - upon this journal. We 'freely . exonerate, the . proprietors of- the Chronicle from all ;participation in the libel, so far as we *re concerned, for nnaerstand,sinserted it as an advertiserne.nt in - the regular` •course of business. We wish others wborri they hive been made the medium of attacking may be equally chaTitable: . .The article has reference to sdive observations which veAtought it our dutyto make some time ago with re; Sped 'to certain emigrant agents in America who sign themselves Douglas, Robinson; and Co., and who profess to draw bills upon a firrii here 'who are styled " Robinson' Brothers, Bankers, in Liverpool." As we know of no such bankerS in Liverpool, and no house here of that name, who has the leash pretensions to'be bankers, we cautioned, emigrants against *ling implicit confidence in such parties. We were the-More induced to do this. inasmuch that.we pereelved in most of the American pa pers flamin g a d ver ti s ements setting forth that this cele brated firm of merchants and bankers were about to start a new. line of packets between New York and Liverpool —that the ships were all to be of 500 tons and upwards, commanded by experienced captains who had been ap pointed--and other matters relative to safety and comfort well calculated to deceive the. unwary and impose upon the ignorant. The parties even went so far as t o give names to their imaginary . packets, and their advertise ments generally concluded, after - this flash display of wealth, by assuring emigrants settled in Canada and the United States, that 'if they wished to make any remit tances, to their relatives in the mother country the drafts of Douglas, Robinson, and Co, passed all over England, Scotland, And Ireland precisely as if they were bank notes! This was too glaring .for us to swallow, and . too much, calculated to mislead poor people for us to endure; and we accordingly called the . attention of emigrants to the subject. For this weare t ns . we have said,..most vilely abused by some hireling of .the New York press. But we can stand abilse, although we do not choose to :coun tenance imposition. We shall say no More. at present, .for we understand. that the libel will engage the attention of a corirt of law in vindicatiOn-of -a gentleman : who -has rendered eminent and lriVOi4ble serviceS to emigrants; and has dc , tie more. to.- suppress fraud in this port than• any man . we know.' He al : least might have been spared; but no, the coffin navigat44the land of_ liberty attack all who stand in the way of their nefarious traffic. . . We are now beg,inning-to comprehend what was•meant by reform, and what reformers mean by bribery corrup tion, and trafficking for seitsin the House or COmmons • Day after day is letting fresh light in upon the dishonest . and fraudulent artifices of tht rebel who calls himself a patrfot, and who, truth to tell, is little better than a—we were going to say swindler, but, for-the sake of ears po lite, we leave that term in abeyance until we have stated our case. It is of a huge reformer we are about to speak-,--a man admired by thonsands—the, idol of an Irish mob—one who, strange to say, has time - followers and more politi cal influence than any other demagogue, simply because he has deceived, robbed, and imposed upon -more men than any other, person in -the present age or in these realms. In treating, therefore,. of such a patriot, it is indispensably necessary that we should arm our words with a coat of mail, and leave nothing to be challenged but what is unassailable. Now for our case. We will assume, reader, for the sake of argument, that you are a merchant, and that you wish to purchase a ship, and that you make this; yoUr wish, known'to a select number of your friends. You are accordingly waited upon by a ship-broker, a man of fair repute, who is constantly in the habit of buying and selling vessels, and against whim professional character yOu'never beard anything to shake the confidence you are disposed to place in him. This broker informs you that the house of MAGUIRE, Fu.4/4, and Co. have a barque called the car/ota, which he is empowered to sell for £2,000, the terms being cash. You, knowing.some thing of theyessel; offer £1,500, but lie will not take it. You offer £l,oo—Still he.refuseS. At length,' thinking you have a good bargain; and:that MAGUIRE, FINN, and Co. are actually making a sacrifiCe for the sake of ready money, you purchase. the -Cariow,,and hand over to the broker £2OOO in bank notes. -We shall not here enter upon the question as to the _sea-worthiness of the ship. We shall not offer a word as to the difficulty 'yeil had 'in Obtaining possession of her; the short time she waslO•your hands, andthe seizure 4, her by ether parties, to -whom she rightfully beionged,' . and not to MAGUIRR; . Fisk '.arid, - Co., as your broker r 6.+. presented...! We shall'paseover,all this, and, closing the book'opon a mass of infamy and'villany, take for granted that you. are still in possession,'- arid - that the Carlow, rot. ten, and ill-fOund, and condemned though she be, is still your property. ~But what would you say if you learnt that of the £2,000 Which: the broker received from -you, only some £3OO or £4OO in cash were paid to MAianißE, FINN, and Co., and that the balance was made up with two bills of £BOO each,, drawn, at 'very long dales, the broker being the dracyer,.aome - near relation or man of straw the acceptor, and that M4ontax, FINN, and Co., knowing the wretched condition of the vessel, Were ex. Ceedingly glad to part with her even on these terms, and taking the fearful risk of the bills not being honoured when at maturity? . ,:. . 4 • Would you not lay do*ri your pen and raise your eyes in inexpressible rage and disgust ? Would you not cal, your broker a seoundrer?,---would •you not proclaim • him to be a scoundrel to all. your- commercial acquaintances and-to the whole world ? Would you not say that you bad been made the dupe of a swindler ?—that the broker and the house of MAGUIRE had 'conspired to rob you ? .and that you ,had. been - plundered of your £2,000 as adroitly 'and as . felaniously as' if your . pocket had been picked of. that sum While passing through Clayton-square. during some radical meeting, at noon-day ? We have said that you had:confidence. in your broker. •Nodoutit' 3 ;ou had, or you ' WOrild not have trusted him. But supposixigthat he desetved your confidence at the time—that he had previoristy'fierrie an irreproachable re:- putation—that this was his .first detected '' fraud ; still would it not be enough to eXclude bitn, for ever from the society of all honourable men..i lirouldhe not be branded as a cheat, hissed out of the Exchange-rooms, driven from the very bypaths of business, and compelled to hide his'infamy in obscurity, or seek shelter amid 'some corige nial cOnfrateinity of scamps in a free country,' "Where , liberty..ii 'and-where the boldest rogue ii - t,te most exetnplary patriot? Such, we believe, would .be your opinion, and that of every honest man, underSiMilar Circumstances. This then is our ease--thia rotirdecision. • Turn.we then from this suppositions to a real case in point; It will be.fonnd . ..teported at 'full - length in anOthef: page. It may, he classed 'Under the head' of " RAPHAEL versus O'CoNNtr.l.,7 . and wilt reilay-aft attentive perusal. The plaintiff, whom, xumour says was once, a Jew, but. who noW:calls himself a Roman Catholic, and upon the _whole appears to be a vain, but anhonourable man, was last year one of the 'Sheriffs of London • and Middlese." He is. by his own confession a thorookh going reformer; and, as he has acquired some share of Wealth, and 'is generous to the - worthless, he has obvi, busly falleninto unfortunate company ; .for he has been . told—vile flattery, of courSethat, he is lifted by nature to excel in statesmanship, and distinguish hiniself as an orator and senator. He adMits that for several years he has been anxious to obtain a seat in the. House of, Com mons, but that all his attempts in England had failed,. solely because the electors to whom lie addressed himself had not sufficient discernment to appreciate his merits. The ambitions and honourable desires of Mr. RAPHAEL becoming known to DANIEL O'CONNELL, the latter of fered to return him for the county of Carlow, in Ireland, for a specified. sum, In short, DANIEL engaged to self Carlow for £2,000. It was, he said, a "safe specula- tion." If defeated, RAPHAEL was only to pay £lOOO for the honour of being nominated ; but if finally seated, he was . to pay to O'CONNELL £2OOO in cash 7 -hard cash, down upon. the nail. Mark this, reader! DANIEL went to RAPHAEL to sell—HOt RAPHAEL to O'CONNELL to buy. This is important. The great beggarimagined that Car low:was in his gift, and he:resolved toz turn it to the best account. O'CONNELL wanted money pressingly, as his long bills drawn upon a brewery prove; and he con , ceived •RAPIIkEt: vas-a good and a rich man; constituted . by tempetatne . nt' and ambition tO'be his ready tool--.the Jew whom-it was no scandal- to pluck, , and the ardent pa pist who itwas presumed couid, be d4ended upon, in the. execution of any dirty work tonfi§catiOn or rebellion: RAPHAEL saysi— On the' 28th of May Mr. O'Connell called on me at my town rebidenCe, and pressed me to becomes oandidate for the county of Carlow, assuring me that the only risk I could incur would be £lOOO. I requested twenty-four heurs' time to consider, and on the fulloiving.day, at the -exact hour appointed, I called at Mr, .O'Connell's, and was told by the serv a nt he was not at home ; in the evening I received the following note, in consequence, of whic'h an appointment was made for an interview between Us at his hotise for the.3lst of May : " 9, Clarges-street, May 29. My dear sir,—l remained at home, at some inconvenience , until after the hour I mentioned. I wa s sorry I did no t rema i n longer, as you called shortly after; but as you left no letter or other indication of acceding to my proposal, I take for granted that you decline my offer—be it so. I only add my belief that you will never again meet so safe a speculation, I am quite sure I never shall hear of one. • " I have the honour to be, my dear sir, " Your very faithful, "Alexander Raphael, Esq." • " DANIEL O'CoNtizt.t.. On the 31st we met, as appointed, and after some discussion he, wrote and delivered into - my hands this letter:— " 9, Clarges4treet, June 1.

I hereby undertake to guarantee and save you 'ornate's from any and every tithes expense whatsoever, whether of agents, carriages, counsel, petition against the return, or of any other description; and I make this guaiantee in the .fullest sense of the lkonourable engagement that you should not possibly be required to pay one shilling more in any event, or upon any. contingency whatsoever.

O'CONNELL returns and has at command bet‘iyeen:tbirty and forty of the Irish Roman . ,Catholie inernber'S are we then to believe that Carlow is .the. only place that he•can buy or sell, or has boUght . or : ',ol.o;? The el4iOrs of C'arlow...never saw their candidatei.Mr..oAPHAEL::• H.e might have beenthtrpig- • fi4.4 ladyheyw •eonkirary.r , PHAEL knew as touch about Carlow as a twopenny post man in , London'kriMvs ab'tint the' 'floating bit of vapour which the learned call HALLEY's camet.. We gnestion if the ex-sheriff knoWs..ivhether Carlow, or Ireland itself,. be east o'r_Weit' of . London. But- conceding that he knows a little 'More than: this, what are we to think. ' of an ultra reformer tuyinif a seat, and an ultra re former selling a seat, witliin three years of the passing of the reforrn'bill WhiCli:dieranchised Gatton and Old Sarum, and-these same reformers of Carlow voting for a man of whose pe'rson s character, or principles, they were as: ignorant as O'CONNELL is of Hebrew, or a coster monger's jackass is of EUCLID: and the higher inutile matics ? Under the old .and exploded system honoura ble men, who had a deep stake. in the countr3,, and who encouraged. rising talent wherever they found it, posses • sed the patronage . of nomination boroughs; but here we have a county, and GOD knows how many boroughs, placed at the disposal of one of the most heartless and characterless profligates that Ireland ever produced. Here is political corruption if ever there was any in the world. Here is political depravity of the worst hue—a traffic in seats so odious and repulsive—so shameless and illegal —that if not severely punished, the House of Commons must sink into unutterable contempt—not only be the laughing stock of mankind, but the scorn of every up right mind, and the grave of the liberties of Great Bri tain. But let us proceed. O'CoNNEt.t having . made his bar gain for the sale of Carlow, never rests satisfied for a sin gle moment until he has fingered" the money. The first thousand pounds, in shape of a bank-note, like the blood money of an accessory to crime, .hovers over his pillow like a ghost, by night. Give me the money i—pay me the money !—hand over the cash l—send it to WRIQIIT'S ! is his incessant cry, till he has fairly got it in his hands. Having ; touched the 4 ` accursed gold," the scene becomes more interesting as the plot becomes obscure, and the . denouement perplexing. R4HAEL having . paid: 000 is returned for CarlovV. O'CONNELL 6tst Advises hini•of the fact„, confiflentfally that he : has received the intelligetake . from a cabinet This is probably a falsehood, for.k.is like.o.-q-CoNNatt.,; but whotber or nOrit shows the character-of , * matr, and giv'l!s an interest to .the `hopes Ofthe2p - dili& to be duped. R4II4EL was returned beyend all question.; but the , legalitr of his return was disputed; the tricks of the priests came under review be fore the House of Commons; the fraudi committed were exposed—upwards of an hundred voters were struck from the lists—the majority was reduced to. a .minority—and gobemouche minus £1000," wis unsealed, Caving only enjoyed the honour of representing Carlow for a few weeks, during ,which time he had carelessly ne glected to distinguish himself !

I have made all the pecuniary arrange ments," &c., Ou the 17th, Mr. O'Connell wrote me the following:— " Wednesday.

I must observe, that though I paid the £lOOO in cash, I have been informed that .the £BOO here mentioned was rem;tted in a bill at a dung date, drawn by Mr. O'Connell upon some persons carrying citbisiness as'brieerS tirt Dublin, a circumstance that was not veiiivell calculated to induce the electors, or those to *both theemoney was remitted, to entertain a very high opinion of my pecuniary means.

The Carlow re turn, we have - said; was contested before a committee, and, in order to 'defend his seat, more money was in dispensable. n lt will be seen by O'CoNNELL's letter, dated let June, that he was bound to protect RAPHAEL against the. consequences of a petition, for a member cannot be said to be returned when the returnitself is ' questioned and his right to a seat in the house dependent upon the decision of a committee, RAPHAEL, therefore, naturally enough, expected O'CoNNELL to defend the' return, and secure his return, before be called upon him t e cr more money. No honest or honourable man can read the-letter we allude to and come to any otheroonciusion. DANIEL took another view of the matter. He would Dot work without pay. He nominates a parliamentary agent —some creature of his own, no doubt—but he calls upon RAPHAEL to provide the funds, and, in doing so, the following correspondence took place : " 9, Clarges-street,.July 25. " My dear Sir,-- . --You did not say to whom I was. to aPplio for the second sum of £lOOO, according to our arrangement. .It is necessary —absolutely necessary—it should be paid t/tis day.

My first expiession, du reading this Very extraordinary epistle, to say the least of it, was to ahandep my.seat at once ; but on further reflection, and, after advising :with my friends, I determined to submit for the time to the insult thus offered, and by paying the second thousand pounds, to remove from Mr. O'Connell all possible pretext for the noiifulfilment of the engagetnent on his part. It i§ amusing to - remark, 'when the dish stood in the way, how soon the amiable " My Dear Sir" is changed into the gruff; " Sir." DANtit:succeeds'in Obtaining the second thousand pounds, and RAPHAEL soon after had the gratification of walking out of the House of Commons shorn of his honours, a wiser. man perhaps, but certainly a poorer man by £2OOO than he was only a few weeks before. Then comes the wind up:— That I may. not do him an injustice, it,is but fair that I • should, in conclusion, observe that the second sum of £lOOO has beeti . accounted 'for by his paying in cash £350 to Mi. Ba ker towards the law charges, and after- repeated applications' made for-the balanCe, by giving him a bill for it at a long date, drawn by Mr. 'o' . Connell himself on the self-same brewers as the £BOO before alluded to 'was was drawn 4 on. 'Such, gentlemen, has been theconduct of the individual who, in his letter recently addressed to the Duke of Wellington, with his usual modesty, thus speaks of himself—" The. Irish' nation know me-to be sincere and honest; they confide in-my moral courage and'indefatigable perseverance." This, general,' may be -yOur' opinion; it most certainly is not mine. With many and grateful thanks to you fur your exertions in my favour, ' I' haVo.the honour to he, gentigmen, Your faithful and obectient servant,' ALEXANDER RAPHAEL. • There are; we regret to say; one or two important omissions here which we think Mr—RAPHAEL will yet be indticed to .- siiPpli.

What became :of- the remaining! :tl6o' we leave the friencs of purity of election to coh jecture for let it be borne in-mind that O'CoNNELL's long dated bills are no payinent. The probability is that these bills are not yet due. Six months is the period or What is called a long dated bill, and as the affair occurred in June and July the first bill will not be at maturity be fore December, Mr. RAPHAEL's money meanwhile being fructifying in the kind keeping of the Irish mendicant. He is evidently:a needy wretch, or he would not have taken such liberties with a sum of money which did not belong to him, and which he had no right to touch. But we !beg .pardon .of our readers for dwelling so tediously upon so' base a transaction..

If I look through the book I find fourscore and ten such Epistles ! and fourscore and ten such Gospels! only think--180 of the easiest and most important passages to be found in the New Testament of Jesus Christ. Sometime since 1" took a great deal of pains to find out how much these Epistles and Gospels do actually con tain, and if you like I can tell you to a verse. They contain from the Old Testament only 58 verses, selected from seven different chapters ; but from the New Tes tament they contain parts of 120 different chapters,. amounting in all to 1889. verses-1889 verses carefully chosen from 120. different chapters in every part of the New Testament ! Why, nothing of importance can be left out ; you must have here the cream of the whole which Christ and his Apostles taught us ?• Look—you have out of the four.

In 1788, when the largest home consump tion took place, namely, 93,172 gallons, he duty was only 4s. 6d. per gallon ; at thattinie the duty on Portugal wines was 35. per gallon. Theieduties were gradually increased until the year 1813, when they were as high as 19s. $ d. on French, and 9s. lid. on Portuguese wines. In 1825 the duties on wines were, French, 7s. 21d.; Cape, 2s. 5d.; while those imported from Por-' iugul and all other countries were subjected to au impost of 4s. 9d. per gallon; a slight alteration was made. iu the folloW ing year, when these duties were raised to IS. 3d., end 4s. 10d. reSPectiiely, with the exception of Cape. The eßtract we have already given presents a singular fact which political economists* will perhaps be able to explain. I u .1821 at a duty of 7s. 2#d - we find the consumption of French vine to have:been 187,447.ga110n5; iu the following year, at a :higher duty , 525,57 gallons, but in 1832, when the duty was =rerlueed to- ss. 6d., we find the consumption also reduced to 228,627 gallons, very little more than uue half of the quantity used in 181.5. To w hat, cause are we to- attribute this -extraordinary decline . of the Frenc t► wine trade iri 4 England ? to a reduction of the duty ; to a deterioration of the 'quality of those wines, or (4 a mere change of taste in wine driukers who generally entertain a great abhorrence of a cheap comuionity, or to all these causes co-operating together? At any rate the alteration of the duties has not benefited the wine growers of France as far as.the'con sumption of their wines inEtigland is concerned•.
