" Sir,—During a period or thirty-seven years I was postman at Dulwich, which situation I found myself under the necessity of soliciting his Majesty's Postmaster-General to relieve me from, in consequence of a must severe Rheumatic affliction un der which I had laboured for ten or twelve years. So painful was the disease, that for two or three months at a time I could not perform any w',rk whatever. There was no swelling in any part ; but the paiu•in my hips, shoulders, and legs was most excruciating. This was my situation until about two months ago, when I saw an Advertisement of your BLAIR'S GOUT and RHRUMATIC PILLS, and after taking a tew doses I found considerable relief, and before I had taken one Box was as free from pain, and as well as though no illness had afflicted me.

Mr. Fitzroy Kelly said he was instructed by the defendants to move for a writ of prohibition against the commissioners of the Court of Requestsfor the city and liberty of Westminster, to stay all further proceedings between the above parties. Al though the amount sued for was small, yet if there were no steps taken to stay the proceedings of the commissioners, the decision which they had come to would be attended with the most inju rious consequences. Under the 47th section of the reform act, the 2d of William IV., c. 45, all perenus claiming to vote at any election for members of parliament could be opposed by another elector. The notice of objection to any such vote being deli vered to the overseer, the person so objected to was obliged to appear before the revising barrister to do away with the objec tion, if he wished to have his name retained. The defendant, being an elector for the city of Westminster, in pursuance of the right given to him by the above clause, served a notice of objection to the plaintiff's name, and afterwards appeared be fore the revising barristers to support his objection. On the list belonging to the parish in which Soames resided being called on. he did not appear to oppose the objection, although called. The list was regularly proceeded with, and the objec tion being urged the revising barrister held the objection to be good, and struck off the plaintiff's name. Subsequently another list was proceeded with, and Mr. Soames was then , found to be in attendance. Shortly after Mr. Rawlings received from the plaintiff a bill of damages done to him by the defendant, in causing him (the plaintiff) to lose three days,. No notice was taken of the bill, on which Mr. Soames obtained a summons from the Court of Requests, which was served on Mr. Rawlings, who attended before the commissioners. Mr. Rawlings con tended that the reform act bad given him the power which he bad used in objecting to Mr. Soames's name being placed on the registry, and that the matter was out of their jurisdiction, and it they entertained any doubts he would beg of them to take the opinion of their legal adviser (the clerk of the court.) This they did, and that gentleman informed the commissioners that they had no power to adjudicate. The commissioners consi dered they had. It was too well known that commissioners in Courts of Requests when they were called on to decide in a po litical case decided in accordance to their political opinions, and which occurred in the present instance. lie would now refer their lordships to the act of parliament which constituted the court. Mr. Baron Parke.—What act do you refer to, Mr. Kelly? Mr. Kelly.—The 23d Geo. 11. c. 7. The learned gentleman then proceeded to read the preamble, and the 62d and 80th sectiots of the act, for the. purpose' of showing that a Court of Requests was established for the more speedy recovery of small debts, and not for the recovery of debts never incurred; he (Mr Kelly) would refer their lordships to the case of Jonas v. Greening (5 Term Reports , p . 527,) which arose out of a summons issued from the Court of Requests for the city of London, and was brought to recover the stun of 18s; 3d. for some lemons which had been contracted for,, but never deliyereirto the plaintiff, who considered he had sustained the above amount or damage by the nun-delivery, It was tried be fore Lord Kenyon, and he decided that the commissioners had no power to adjudicate. He (Mr. Kelly) ,was fully of opinion that to enable a debt to be recovered in 'a Court of Requests proofs of its being due was necessary, or that the loss of time oti the part of the plaintiff arose from a corrupt and improper ob jection on the part of the defendant. This was not the case, for his name was struck out of the lists. After hearing the whole of these facts the commissioners differed, and voted, when the majority declared they had the power to adjudicate, and or dered Mr. Rawlings to pay the sum demanded. Mr. Baron Alderson observed it was a very difficult question for, them (the commissioners) to try. Mr. Baron Parke,—lf an action of this description can be maintained, the plaintiff must prove an improper motive to ex. ist on the part of the defendant. Mr. Kelly.—Certainly, my lord, and then a Court of Re quests would not he the proper place to try such a question. Mr. Baron Parke.—Certainly not. Mr. Kelly.—lf a Court of Requests can take cognizance of this matter there will be an immense number of summonses is sued against the same individual for whom I now appear. Un der those circumstances T trust the eourt will issue a rule of pro hibition. Mr. Baron Parke.—Take a role. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Fains v. " A GENTLEM4N !"—A young man, who described himself as a gentleman, applied to be discharged, and was unopposed. The insolvent said he was one of six children, neither of whom had been brought up to mil, trade or profession. His parents were independent, and live d . iu the neighbourhood of the Mile end-road. Chief Commissioner.—How do you expect to get your living in the world? Insolvent.—l don't know. Chief Commissioner.—Aud have not the slightest notion ? Insolvent.—No. (Laughter.) It appeared about three years ago he married without any fortune, and against his father's consent. Chief Commissioner.—That was to mend the matter. You are a pauper. The insolvent exclaimed—Sir ! Chief Commissioner.—Yes, a pauper I say! That stay star tle you, for you describe yourself a gentleman, and, being a pauper, you married without a farthing. The insolvent said he had some reversionary property, which he had sold, and spent the money. Chief Commissioner.—Oh, I dare say. The insolvent was then examined as to his debts. The first was one of £2O due to a jeweller for articles in his trade, princi pally consisting of rings, which he said were for himself and wife. They bad either been sold, broken, or lost. Chief Commissioner.—So you had them to decorate your person? Insolvent.—Yes; they are all gone, even my wife's wedding ring. On being asked the nature of the next debt, he said it was for gambling. Chief Commissioner.—That's honest; truth goes a great way with me. The next debt was for damage done to phaeton which he had hired for an excursion to Epping. He said the damage was nothing particular. He had only broken the axletree. (Laughter.) The learned Commissioner then said—Young man, you have led a very disreputable and lamentable life. Whether it arose from your own conduct or the neglect of "others I - izotiw not. You have had property, have gambled, and indulged- to gratify your vanity in everything you could, and have now brought yourself to this disgraceful exhibition. I make these observa tions for your good—avoid this expenditure of vice and folly : to depend on it your future life will be passed in disgra,ce and ruin. The learned Commissioner further animadverted on his conduct, and then ordered him to be discharged. LONDON AND GREENWICH RAILWAY COMPANY. On Friday the first special general meeting of this company was held at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of con sidering the propriety of raising, upon bonds of £lOO each, such a sum of money as would enable the company to carry into ef fect the completion of this interesting and important work. Twells, Esq., was called to the chair. The Secretary (Mr. Walter,) having read the advertisement calhug the meeting, proceeded to read the report. It stated that by the 46th clause in the act, incorporating the company certain corporations and individuals were empowered to compel the company to take certain tracts of land and other property, even should only a small portion be required for the use of the railway. Of this power the parties had pretty generally availed themselves. This, consequently, entailed upon the company the necessity of purchasing property beyond what was required for the railway. It was, however, expected that these purchases would prove hereafter highly advantageous—for there was little doubt but that the improvement in value would keep pace with the importance of the whole design. As a means of providing for this contemplated outlay, a clause was inserted in the act (the 99th) which gave the company the power to raise an addi tional sum not exceeding one-third of the capital named in the bill—and in furtherance of these views the directors recom mended that bonds of £lOO each, bearing 5 per cent. interest, and to be for a term of five years, be prepared and issued, first to those shareholdhers who might wish to subscribe, and, after a lapse of ten days, to the public. The property of the com pany had already begun to be of an improved character, and that part of it lying between London-bridge and the Neckin. ger was already in great demand, offers having been received for building sites, as well as offerings for the rental of the arches. The directors, however, deemed that any hasty disposal •of this property would be premature under existing circumstances, and they, therefore, did not entertain the proposals made to them. The directors then congratulated the proprietors on the prospect of a consummation of the original views, namely, that the railway to Greenwich would be the principal outlet from the metropolis to all parts of importance south and eastward of the Thames. As a proof of which the report stated that the Croydon Company had entered into an engagement with this company to pay, for the use of their rails, half the amount of fare charged to Greenwich, and there was little doubt that when other companies were carried into effect, an immense advantage would arise to the Greenwich Company. s The Secretary then said that the engineer's estimate of the total expense to be incurred hereafter for the completion of the work was £65,000. The surveyor's estimate of the property yet to be purchased was £50,000; and that the estimated sale of the same property would be £60.000. • Total amount of property purchased £192,000 Ditto purchased but not paid for To be purchased £285,000 Property and old materials to be-i&' Balance £215 WO Original estimate of the coat of the work 208,000 So that there are £7,000 more to be met than the original esti• mate calculated upon. The Chairman then said that the question for the proprietors was this--whether it would not be better to retain the property which they had, cud raise the money they wanted upon bends, rather than sell the property now when it would not be of the. value that it would ultimately be [bear, hear!] The Chairman, in reply to Mr. Hammond, said that it was intended to raise the whole of the one-third of the capital of the company. Mr. Hitchens wished to know what sums remained to be paid for purchases agreed for, whether in possession or not Chairman : £43,ooo.—The chairman turther stated, in reply to the same gentleman, that the amount to be paid for land not let 'purchased would be £50,000, and that the sale of the surplus and would be £OO,OOO in favour of the company, and £lO,OOO for old materials; that the money in hand, including unpaid calls, was £22,000; and that the calls upon the company unpaid were £20,00U. Colonel Landman, the engineer, in reply to another proprie tor, said that if there was no frost he had every reason to ex pect that the work would be completed by Easter. The Chairman, in reply to another proprietor, said that every difficulty in the way of the work proceeding had been completely removed; and, in reply to another proprietor, said that there would be an increase on the original estimate of the engineer of £37,000, in consequence of their being obliged to build a wall along the line of the railway instead of a quickset hedge, as was originally intended; and also in consequence of the company being obliged to go to additional expenses, im posed by the local authorities. After some further conversation, the report was adopted. DEVIZES EtAcTtori.—The writ for the election of a represen tative of the borough of Devizes, in the room of the late Wad ham Locke, Esq., arrived here last evening, and was p roc l a i me d in the Market-place this forenoon. The mayor has fixed the day of nomination for Tuesday ; the election will take place on Wednesday. Captain Dundas and some of his friends still assert that the gallant captain is certain of being elected "by a respect able majority;" whilst the friends of Mr. Estcourt say that Cap tain Dundas has nut the shadow of a chance.—Deri;e: Gazette.

Devizes will be the first borough election under this new law.] MR. O'CONNELL LETTSR OF gIR -FRANCIS. BURDETT TO THE mtmarirti QF ' BROOKES'S CLUB. Gentlemen,—Ever since I read the newspaper accounts of I Mr, Daniel O'Connell's sayings and doings at Manchesteraud Glasgow, on his mission (as he terms his return to Ireland through those towns), L have felt, as a member of this club, that it would be incumbent on us take them into our serious and dispassionate consideration, since, iii my, opinion, we are collectively and individually compromised by them. There is an sin observation somewhere in the writings of Thomas Paine, that "that which is a disgrace to human nature, throws Something of a shade over all the human character, andevery individual feels his share of the wound given which is to the whole." This strikes we as a sound moral maxim, forcible when applied to re lations between individuals and society at large, but acting with incalculably great force, and fraught with more cogent convic tion, when applied to those small select societies called clubs, more espscially political ones. When men are admitted into these associations, they become, as it were, bound like our Saxon forefathers in an union of fionkpledge mutually to one another for good behaviour, voluntarily submitting themselves to the club, as to a tribunal whence lies no appeal, the whole body thereby becoming responsible to the public for the decent be haviour at least of its members. On this ground I appeal to the club for its judgment on the conduct of Mr. Daniel O'Con nell, one of its members. h a n' taking it for granted that the newspaper accounts of his exhibitions of himself at Manchester and Glasgow are correct, and I think myself entitled to enter ' tain this opinion from so long a period having since elapsed 1 without any contradiction, apology, or explanation on his part. Hence I infer that in his own opinion his language and deport ment were unexceptionable, gentlemuulike, and. becoming. I know not how other men's minds way have been affected on reading the reports above-mentioned, but on mine was produced a strong feeling of disgust, not unaccompanied by a sense of humiliation and shame, at being, as a member of the club, ex posed to the imputation of participating or acquiescing in or tolerating such proceedings. In a word, I felt acutely my share of the wound. Upon the present occasidn 1 beg leave to dis miss all political considerations. In his late transaction with Mr. Raphael, regarding the representation of Carlow, I exclude entirely . the pecuniary features of the case. These may probe hty'he investigated before the House of Commons or a court of justice, or both. I confine myself, therefore, entirely to com ment upon the manners and the language which every decent society has a right to expect, and a duty to exact, from its mem bers. Impressed with this view of the case, I beg leave to submit to the members of Brookes's whether or no the style and tone adopted by Mr. Daniel O'Connell towards Mr. Raphael (both , being members of this club) is such as we are willing to have introduced amongst us, such as we could ever he brought to sane-, tion or to endive. Is it even couched in such terms as one member of a civilised community ought to he permitted to apply to another? •%, ...EV... , • • In his second letter to Mr. Raphael, Mr. Daniel O'Connell is pleased (I should conceive through a species of miiiiving) to call his outrageous expresiion (which he had on a former occa sion applied to the Duke of Cumberland) "the usual Irish phrase." With Mr. Daniel O'Connell himself this \ may be (and too apparently is) a very usual phrase, but I cannot be lieve that it is an usual phrase with any one else in Ireland. I once had an opportunity of seeing a great deal of that country, passing several months there, mixing with classes of every de gree, I went much among the peasantry, about whose charac ter 1 had considerable curiosity, taking much interest in them. I witnessed and joined in their various amusements in their ntost unguarded hours, being accompanied by persons whose presence dispelled all suspicion. I was forcibly struck by the absence of anything gross or offensive among them. On the contrary, their natural politeness was such as to place at his ease any man accustomed to the best society. The objeCt of their natural and most decided aversion seemed to be a black guard—the precise epithet which they were in the habit of ap plying , whenever their indignation was excited, or whenever they wished to give vent to their reproach. What Mr. Daniel O'Connell is pleased to style the "usual Irish phrase" I scarcely ever heard, and I cannot help thinking that any man in Ireland in whose mouth it was familiar would be very short-lived, at least were he willing to abide the usual consequence of indulging in it. In that case Mr. Daniel O'Con nell himself would not be so old as he is by a fortnight. He has placed himself in a state of impunity, exalted or degraded, as men may happen to regard it. At all events, however, he stands in the predicament of being the last man in the world who ought to allow himself the use of such language, which, on the contrary, with the least feeling of self-respect, he ought par ticularly to avoid. I would, moreover, wish to ask you, gentle men, your opinion of his speech respecting the Duke of Wel lington. • Was there ever anything equal to its presumption and insoleuce, except its injustice? I doubt if there is a tap room in the country out of which he would not have been turned for it. It is an insult to the nation, a sort of general offence. We may, however, rest satisfied that it has been most amply rebuked—rebuked most severely, though unintentionally and unthought of—hy the properest individual in the ceuutry, in his eloquent address to a public meeting at Bath—by Colonel Napier, a somewhat inure competent judge, and more capable of estimating the great qualities of the Duke of Wellington, than Mr. Daniel O'Connell. This gallant officer, in drawing the great man's character, drew unconsciously his own— generous in mind, capacious in understanding, and, above all, just ; the gmtleman, soldier, scholar, patriot stand forth con spicuous, drawn by the . hand of a master, unconscious of what he was abort. Look on this picture and on this, drawn equally in the same way, and with the same unconsciousness, both strikingly a.ike, neither requiring a name to be written under it. On lool,ing back, during no very long period, towards Mr. Daniel O'Connell's proceedings, whether writing a whimper ing letter to a calumniated friend, or a blustering one to the base and bhndy whit's, or reviling the Sassenagh (meaning the English—h‘oernice, the enemy,) or (when endeavouring to im pose upon them) extolling them for their candour, generosity, and love of 'iustice—whether bullying with a deluded crowd at his heels, of falling on his knees before a Roman Catholic priest (thus iilaying at once idol and idolator,) I cannot but think that it is absolutely necessary to the character of our club to eximerateltself t'r..m the burden of such a member.—l am, gentlemen, your most obedient, FRANCIS BURDETT. GREAT PROTESTANT MEETING Al BIRMINGHAM . On. Wedeesday last a meeting, attended by Bova THOUSAND " friends of protestantism and of the constitution in church and state," was held the Town-ball, Birmingham, for the pur pose of hearing the statements of the Rev. Messrs. M'Clhie and O'Sulliv.in, with respect to the doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. On the motion of the Rev. Marsh, Richard Spooner, Esq., was called to the chair. Speaking of the address of Mr. 111'Ghie, the Birmingham .4d rertiser says:—" Distinguished at once by the most profound reasoning and the most elegant diction, and by a delivery the most appropriate that could be imagined for a discourse on a subject so highly ireportant to the dearest interests of mankind, he kept his auditory in mute attention for an uninterrupted period of three successive hours, and convinced his, hearers of the truth of his positions, and the high honour and purity of his views, with a force which we have rarely, if ever, seen equalled, and which we are sure can never be surpassed." We take the concluding remarks of the Rev. Mortimer O'Sullivan, in the speech which he delivered on the occasion : " And here I must return to that subject with which I have been, in the paper published in this place, so unjustly taunted —a circumstance which has recently, in my unhappy country, afforded an exemplification of the species of indifference which Modern politics observe upon the subject of religious opinion. Au outrage of that class which so frequently occurs in the south and west of Ireland as almost to pass unnoticed, was, it is said, lately perpetrated in Ulster. Five houses are represented as having been entered and attacked after nightfall, and having been robbed of arms. The owners of these houses are Roman Catholics—the Irish government offered a reward for the infor mation of the offenders. In what form —you have heard the document read—in what form did the maintainers of the prin ciple that politics have nothing to do with religion anounce the crime? In what form did the mate proclamation of the out rage ? it proclaimed that a representation had been made, to the effect that the houses of five Roman Catholics had been at tacked. Was this, under any circumsstances, right? How is it to be described when its peril was hazarded in Ireland? I know well, for I am intimately connected with the part of the country in which this unhappy offense took place, and I will tell you what has hitherto been its condition. I will not tell you to rely on my testimony or the testimony of those who are friendly to the institutions by which protestantism and peace have been generated in Ireland; but I will state what is its character, as confessed by the testimony of witnesses whose poli tical bias takes away from them all suspicion of being under any other constraint than that of undeniable truth. The parish of Pulls - man, in which the offence took place, contains a popula tion of nearly 8,000 individuals ; and, on the testimony of Lord Gosford, whose voice was strong against the body to which many of the protestants in that parish belonged —on the testi mony of the police officer of similar opinions to whose care the district in which it is placed was confided—that parish, although without police, military, or a resident magistrate, has been uni formly free from outrage and disturbance. Here it is slight praise to sac that a rural district can he at peace without armed guardians to proteCt it. In Ireland, unhappily, we unde rs ta n d the value of such a report, and feel sensitively any such perilous experiment upon the good feeling of a population not at strife, as this of the late government proclamation. I put a restraint on say feelings when I speak of it, because if I gave them way my language might not be temperate. 'When 1 bring to my mind the kindly interchange of offices between protestants and Roman catholics which I have seen— when I remember, in the distribution of charities collected in the church of that severely judged parish, protestants who would bib-accounted- men of the—et rma gest prejasllees, placing 6 set ; the rank of those on whom the largest donations were to be con ferred, their Roman catholic neighbours, because some distress had come upon them—and, as I once heard an humble men (an orangeman too) affirm, as he gave in the name of a Roman catholic, and prayed that he might be liberally relieved—" the family:ave weak and wanting—there's no popery where sickness is." When I remember the mutual good offices—the inter change of social attentions, kindliness to the living, honour to the dead—l cannot but feel bitter regret that an act should have the stamp of government sanction, calculated to create or pro mote disunion. The district over which the threatening procla mation hovers, is one whit+ in years long gone by had its inaus picious renown—retains still remembrances and memorials' of happily composed disorder, of reconciled strife. indeed it was apt wise or good, that a government proclamation should call up feelings and recollections, which might rend this amity asunder; that it should give occasion to discourses, and suggest compa risons favonrable to the wishes of D oubled spirits, to whom the aspect of a peaceful country is an intolerable affliction. But I will not dwell upon a local topic. I look to the country at large. I ask, is a proclamation such as 1 have described, adapted to the peculiarities of Ireland ? (Hear, hear.) is the character of the Irish people such that it is merciful to make known, on the authority of government, that the houses of Roman catholics have been attacked, and that the religious belief of the com plainants demands the sign of an especial notice? This in Ireland ! where it is known that vengeance seeks out the re motest connexion or acquaintance of an offender, stud never sleeps until it has been slaked in blood ! in Ireland, where that shocking story told by Lord J. Russell was related not as an instance, but as an example of ordinary atrocity; is that the country where professors of religious indifference hold it right to issue proclamations of so stimulating significancy ? This is " politics without religion," politics without mercy—God grant we may be visited with no more samples of it ! (Hear, hear.) In Ireland ? Is the history of Ireland utterly unknown ? Are the contrivances to accelerate and enlarge massacre unregarded ? Who knows not the device by which, at all times, whenever rebellion was to be arrayed, or bloody excesses to be perpetrated, the passions of great part of the Irish people have been set on fire ? There has been no variety of stratagem. Reports of out rages perpetrated on Roman catholics, or preparations to assault them, have been spread—falsehood has been favoured by dis tance—stories of persecution have been believed in districts remote from the scene where the fiction was laid—and the imaginary grievances of suffering brethren have been dreadfully avenged on protestants, whom, perhaps, no tidings of the false rumours had reached until the moment when cruel tormentors also came, and their forfeit lives were demanded. (Hear, hear.) It is a fearful thing that at a time when Rowan catholics, or their instruments, fill places Of t trust arid power, when Mr. O'Connell has announced the miltiou of men ready to take the field—impatient to get leave to tight—impatient to be loosed fur that saturnalia of cruelty and cowardice, in which, he says, they look to have a butchery which they May call a battle—when his especial organ proclaims that the furious multitude is organised and conceutrated—ready-,-at oioe blast of a trumpet, to fall into the ranks, and rush upon their enemies—it is fearful that at such a moment the government Gazette should give the signal on which that blast of death might be sounded—that the highest authority should seem to adript, however inadvertently, the de vice which precludedthe woe of 1641, and the sore persecution from which William the Deliverer wax made an instrument to release afflicted protestants, and the indescribable atrocities of the last open rebellion. (Loud cheering.) Ought this to have been' When Mr. O'Connell threatehed his million of foemen, was there a proclamation issued to disarm these bands equippe4l - massacre ? (Hear, hear.) Or were protestants assured of protection, and taught to be of good cheer ? When protestants were beaten to deaf i in the open day—in places of crowded resort, and notice of the Auto-da-fe made public, did the Irish government think it right to specify the religion of theyictim ? ( Hear, hear.) Wheu, in the Week before these memorable houses were attacked, a protestant of the neighbourhood was waylaid, murdered, and left on the way side, a shocking specta cle, with twenty gashes on his person, his tongue torn out, his throat cut—and all, 'so far as can be known, because he was a protestant—was his religion thought of consequence to mention ? ( Hear, hear.) When protestants in the south of Ireland were murdered because of their religious belief ; and the same week, which produced the proclamations, told of a clergyman of most benevolent dispositions and engaging Manners, at his own door, within call of a magistrate's house and >1 police-station, beaten almost to death, and left with his skull fractured, and with a life which was thus rendered a burden, before the assassins took flight—was it (or will it be) held necessary to announce that they were protestants who were murdered—that he was an En glishmen upon whom this merciless outrage was committed No; in the eye of the law the nature of crime is not altered by the religious profession of the agent or the victim, and therefore • it should not be noticed unnecessarily in any government pro clamation. (Loud cheers.) But there Occurred a case in which to notice the religion of the sufferers was calculated to exaspe rate the passions, and direct the vengeance of murderers upon defenceless protestants; and in this instance—l speak not of •intentions, 1 do not presume to say what the Irish government intended, 1 only can say what it did—it taught Tipperary and Kildare what had been suffered in Tyrone by Roman catholics. This is politics without religion ! May God shield menacedani persecuted protestants from its consequences ! (Hear, hear.) I have done—l have ,shown you the character of the church of Rome, and the pitch of power to which it has attained. You have a painful assurance that the politicians who have now most power will not take alarm from such a character, and be vigilant to prevent the success of still more ambitious efforts than have as yet been made. I leave it to you to judge whether, in such a state of things, the people should not be on the alert, by alt 'means which'a - policy trot without religion Suggests; and prayer may sanctify, and the laws of their country approve, exert themselves to guard the principles of the true faith, to give wordi . of cheer to brethren who . profess it, in a land where they are sore-beset, and to maintain, for God's honour and for the salva tion of souls, the right of those whom the church of Rome op presses, and would debar from knowledge Of the truth which maketh tree, to hear the everlasting Gospel preached, and to be taught how they may come out from an evil system, and be not sharers in the plagues which are denounced against it. (Long and vehement cheering.) • DUEL BETWEEN MR. BLACK AND MR. ROEBUCK., The following letter was delivered to Mr. Roebuck on Tiles= day morning at Mudiford, near Christchurch, by Mr. M‘Gil livray " 332, Strand, Nov. 13, 1835. " Sir,—ln a pamphlet purporting to be Prospects of the Corn ing Session, by J. A. Reebuck, M.P., there is au article with your initials attached to it, in which great liberties are taken with my character; and in particular cowardice is imputed to me, and the epithets • base' and utterly disgraceful' are also applied to my conduct; and I am told that if I have any shame left, I must now heartily repent of what is imputed' to me. In the same article it is also stated that a correspondence between a Mr. Goldsmid and myself was published in the Chronicle. This I deny, as no such correspondence has appeared in that paper. I wish to know whether you are the author of the article containing these offensive epithets; and if you are. I then call upon you to retract them without qualification ur reserve. "My friend, who delivers this, will convey to me your an swer. • " I am, sir, your obedient servant, "J. A. Roebuck, Esq., M.P." " Jolts; BLACK." T. this Mr. Roebuck answered verbally— !. That he was the author of the paper in question. '2. That he had no retraction to wake. 3. And that he would at once send for a friend who would be at Christchurch on Thursday morning, at 12, Mr. M'Gillivray said this was inconvenient, and asked Mr. Roebuck to go to London. Mr. Roebuck declined, and said that his friend would be at Christchurch at the time men tioned. On Thursday Mr. Revans arrived, and acted for Mr. Roe buck. Mr. Revans, on being introduced to Mr. M'Gillivray, said, that as it appeared that the correspondence between Mr. Black and Mr. Goldsmid had notbeen copied into the M orn i ng Chronicle, Mr. Roebuck was, of course;'willing to admit that in this he was in error. Mr. Revans also felt authorised in saying that Mr. Roebuck had never intended to impute cowardice to Mr. Black; that he really believed - bun to be a philosopher, and, as. such, would of course not fi:ht. This was all Mr. Revans could admit. Mr. M'Gillivray desired a retraction of the words " base" and "disgraceful," which was not granted. Thereu_pon a meeting was immediately arranged. Mr. Roebuck received Mr. Black's lire, fired in the air, and, advancin towards Mr. Black, said, " Now , sir, I again repeat that I had'no intention of imputing cowardice to you. I find I was led into error in stating that the correspondence between you and Mr. Goldsmid was copied into the Morning Chronicle, which I have been informed is not the fact. But I am still of the same opinion respecting the conduct of yourself towards Mr. Goldsmid, and I vindicate to myself the right of stating my opinion of the public act of a public man." Mr. M'Gillivray then insisted the words " base" and " dis graceful" should be retracted, as he said they could without dishonour to Mr. Roebuck. Mr. Roebuck answered,- that his opinion respecting the conduct in question remained un changed; that he could not say he did not think it base and dis graceful; it was dishsuest and unjust,_ and still, in his opinion, • disgraceful. On this Mr. M'Gillivray said that the affair must go on, un less Mr. Roebuck consented to withdraw the expression com plained of. Mr. Roebuck walked back to his ground, and shots were then exchanged, but without effect. Mr. Roebuck asked what was now required, and an apology was again demanded and refused. Mr. Revans observed, that they were there with their minds made up, and if Mr. M'Gillivray desired the affair must go on. Mr. M'Gillivray here declared that he was the proprietor of the Morning Chronicle, and that Mr. Black ought not ti' be fur ther exposed upon account of that journal, Mr. Roebuck asked if that was meant as a threat. Mr. Revans here re alinded Mr. M'Gillivrav, that though he might be the proprie tor of the Chronicle, in this affair he was a second, and that if he desired to fight, it must of course be with the other second. Mr. Remus farther observed that he was ready to meet Mr. M'Gil livray immediately, in any way he might desire. Mr. M'Gilli vray then observed that he did not know Mr. Revels; and Mr. Roebuck answered, " Sir, I am a sufficient guarantee for any man; Mr. Revans is a friend of mine, and i desire that no altercation of this sort may proceed. If you are not satisfied, I am here, and you must determine for yourself what you will do. I am not to be driven from what I believe just by any threats of assassination. I vindicate to myself the right of sayiug, that I think the conduct of a public Irian ' base' and disgrace ful,' and I will not be driven from this. Choose what you will do." On this Mr. M'Gillivray decided that the affair should end. Mr. Roebuck then, said to Mr. Black, " 1 have respect for you, sir; but though I aty this of you, I still assert my right to speak of your acts as I have done. It must now, however, be dis tinctly understood, that hereafter , Mr. Black is personally responsible forevery thing said in the Morning Chronicle, and by me will be held so." Mr. Black replied. that he did not think what Mr. Roebuck was now doing would do him credit. Mr. Roebuck replied, that he himself must be allowed to judge for himself. Subsequently Mr. M'Gillivray sent a statement of the pro ceeding to Mr. Revans for approval, who replied that - Mr. M'Gillivray was at liberty to publish any statement on his owa responsibility.

The following letter from Sir George Robinson, one of the most respectable and consistent members of the old whig party —one of the most active and zealous supporters of Lord at the very last election, and, if we remember rightly, his lord ship's proposer, appears in the Northampton Herald just re ceived " TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHAMPTON HERALD. " Crauford, Nov. IS, 1835. " Sir,—lf you think fit to publish the inclosed letter, you ars at liberty to do se. " Your most obedient; " GEORGE S. ROBINSON." "'Northampton, Nov. 15, 1835.

" 'Cranford, Nov. 16, 1835. " ' Dear Ilanbury,—The following passage occurs in Mr, O'Connell's speech at Glasgow in September last :-- 4 It is said we radicals stake a sacrifice in supporting the whigs now. No such thing. The whigs vow are no more those of five years ago, than the old clothes of five years' service are now the dandy wardrobe of the fashionable gentlemen.' "'With this opinion I heartily corieur; and, therefore, when, in your application for my support. };nu state that your political principles are the same which you have professed in times past, I should actually suppose that you do not approve of the present administration, who, as it appears to ine, have the violence with out the honesty of professed radicals . As, however, you start as a candidate in opposition to Maunse l l , I am obliged to con clude that you, like many others, approve of the present dis graceful coalition with O'Connell, and that, in order to keep Lord Melbourne in power, you would sacrifice the Church of England and Ireland to appease the insatiate appetites of Irish papists and English dissenters. '['here can he no doubt in my mind that such is the•policy of the self-styled whig government, when we see Lord Al ulgrave entertaining the agitator at his table im mediately on his return from Scotland, where in the most trea sonable language he had been denouncing the privileges and the very existence of the House of Peers. Under these circum stances.l am not only obliged, as a conservative-whig of the old school, to refuse you my support, but I must plainly tell you that I shall most cordially rejoice in your being defeated.

"'To William Banbury, " In this letter Sir George speaks what we know to be the sen timents of three-fourths of the late Whig party, that is, of all of the party whoever were sincere and disinterested, and of fully as great a proportion of the late radical party. Even party will not reconcile Englishmen to a government commanded by an obscure provincial demagogue, preaching revolution at the command of his masters—the inculcators of the doctrines of Peter Dens. Another proof of this revulsion of feeling produced by the odious alliance will be found in the following extract from the Bath Herold, a wbig journal, also received this morning : " Four hundred and fifty names appear on the list of those who purpose dininft together at the rooms on Thursday, the 10th of December.

Disappointment must be the consequence, but it is impossible to read with any care, far less print, a fractional part of the communications we receive We have received the printed address of Mr. Keet, but we take it to be a hoax. He, however, and Mr. Godfrey Barnslef are illused men. be Eiberpool ,Stanbarb. TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 24, 1835. We have received Jamaica papers to the 11th October. The elections had nearly terminated, and with very few exceptions the same members had been returned which his Excellency the Governor had dismissed in the mon t h of August last. Mr. BARRETT, the speaker of the late and.former assemblies, had been elected for two places, thus showing how much. be is respected by a large por tion of the •constituency. This, we suspect, will give some annoyance to . Lord SLIGO, inasmuch as his lordship can hardly expect more courteous treatment from an in telligent body of men, whom he has irritated if not in sulted, after their re-election, than he received from them before he dismissed them. In the colony there are loud complaints against the go vernment for suddenly withdrawing the encouragement they bad previously given to European emigrants. Our adrices from Demerara reach to the 10th October, but they are uninteresting. The colony was tranquil. We have files of New York papers . to the 3d instant. The republic still continues to be much agitated on tiro slave question, and with respect to the interference of "foreign scoundrels." A person of the name of CARE SON was nearly murdered in Boston, notwithstinding the presence of the, civic authorities, simply because he was suspected of having attended, or to use their own vile jargon, " it was said he had attended," a meeting of the abolition sisterhood. When will these people be made acquainted with the rules and manners of civilized life . ? Not, we fear, until all their boasted institutions are for ever swamped in some sanguinary revolution. A Bos ton paper, conducted, we presume by a christian, has the following observations on this disgraceful outrage : (From the Boston Commercial Gazette.) "We never before saw so gentlemanly a rabble—if a rabbis it may be called—as that assembled yesterday. They opened to the right and left in the greatest possible order, when a fe male attempted to pass in or out—not only so, but when a pre cession of some ten or a dozen black ladies made known their wish to be admitted, the sauce was done for them, without the slightest token of disapprobation being manifested. It was, ill fact, a meeting of gentlemen of property and standing from ail parts of the city, who were disposed, and still are determined, at all hazards, and, "come what may," to preserve the . peace of the city from all domestic incendiaries, as well as to protect the integrity of the union against foreign interference. "In the confusion which took place yesterday, a number of persons, who resembled in their personal appearance, Thomr son and Garrison, were stfverely beaten by the gentlemen assem bled. After the mistake was ascertained, the necessary expla nations and apologies took place." What revolting cant ! Gentlemen, indeed ! One of O'CoNNLL's epithets would be much more appropriate. They are "determined to preserve the peace of the city!" Who disturbed the peace but themselves ? A meeting of quiet elderly persons to discuss the question of slav ery cannot surely be called a-meeting of incendiaries . Thereat incendiaries are the gentlemen in questidn. The following contains the only political news worth extracting : (From the New Weans True American, Extra, of the 13th of October.) IMPORTANT. By the steamer Ouachita, arrived this morning, we received the following iu an extra sheet of the Red River Herald : A meeting of the friends of Texas is called, to be held in this city this evening, and measures will be adopted to render timed assistance to our brothers in Texas. HIGHLY IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS. WAR IN TEXAS.-GEN. COS LANDED NEAR THE MOUTH OF TO BRASSOS WITH FOUR HUNDRED MEN Isaac Parker has just at rived from Texas, bringing the intelli gence that Gen. Cos has landed near the mouth of the Brassos with 400 men with the intention of joining the 700 federal troops sta• tioned at San Antonio do Boxer, and marching upon the peePl e of Texas. Ho has issued his proclamation, " declaring that b e will collect the revenue, disarm the citizens, establish a militel government, and confiscate the property of the rebellious• Messrs. Johnson and Baker bore the express from San Felipe to Nacogdoches. Stephen S. Austin has written to several citi zens of Nacogdoches that a resort to arms is inevitable. They have hoisted a flag with " The Constitution of 182 , 1` inscribed on it, and 200 freemen gathered around it, determine d to stand or fall with it. We subjoin the following letter from General Houston to th e gentleman who brought the intelligence:— San Augustine, Texas, sth October, 1835. Dear Sir,—At your request I hand you a memorandum tha t you may be informed of our situation. War in defence of or 119413, our oaths, and our constitutions is inevitable in Texas. If volunteers from the United States would join their bretbrea in this section they will receive liberal bounties of land. W ° have millions of acres of our best lands unchosen and unappr°' prided. Let each man come with a good rifle and one hundred round* of ammunition—and coins soon. ----- Our war-cry is " Liberty or death." Our principles are to , support the constitution, and down with the usurper !!!—Y° Lit friend, SAM. HOUSTON. To Isaac Parker, Esq., present. We have no time to make any comments. The people•of the United States will respond to the call of their brethron its Texas! From the New Orleans True American of the 12th. TEXAS.—By the politeness of our friend Captain Raulag . : we have been put in possession of the intelligence to be WO in our paper to-day from Texas. As we anticipated—the first hostile movement, however insignificant, on the part of O. Mexicans, has been the signal of WAR. It appears that neral Cos has landatrtro7rs; Inns, iiiirtbritt"C with a view of forcing the Texonians to submission. The effe ct , of this movement has been electric—all Texas is up and ill arms, and peace is no more talked of.. A genera l ren d e zvous has been fixed upon, and every man is 'preparing for battle- Before the convention assembles it is probable that blood wil l have been shed, and that that body will declare the indepell" deuce of Texas, and assume authority until that independen ce is achieved- It seems that Cos has had the impudence, in the name of Santa Anus, to demand the delivery to him of several distirr guished citizens of Texas. We have also received Halifax papers to the Ist in stant, and the Georgian, (Savannah paper) to the 2 5th October, but their contents are unimportant. Our 'attention has been called to an article in th e Liverpool Chronicle, of Saturday, and which, for the !tak e of the proprietors of that paper, we regret to see thrust upon them. It is one of the most scandalous and Wi t " dacious attacks upon an highly honourable clergym an and his family—one of the most unostentatious and el emplary of our churchmen—that we ever read in a Pa ir lie journal; and we feel assured that the proprietors °t the Chronicle, when they become acquainted with all th e circumstances, will be sorry that they ever 'suffered such an article to appear in the pages over which they ha ve control, for no other purpose than to gratify the f olic city of a heartless and disappointed man. Who the writer of the article is—who the party tbitt supplied him with the private illustrations—and Who the third adviser in the matter is—are known—too WC' known to-us ! We could, if we felt disposed—jr. fact, we were not restrained—punish them for it-.'"P u ; nish them, on the spot, in away that they wouid 114)
